Akadaemia is unlocked at Eulmore

and twinning at crystarium

[winged oyster]

Thanks I'll look that up

[leaden ginkgo]

Anyone have any good YouTube videos that explain class rotations and whatnot? Was wondering cause I wanted to look into Samurai or Dragoon.

[modest igloo]

wesk abler on youtube

[signal aspen]

can anyone share their experience on support page with square? my friend got hit with a raffle phish link and was hoping to see if we could get some estimates of what it takes for data recovery to happen if we provided all the details

like the time estimate of them doing something

they supposely forwarded it to some other team but it's been 3 days

do they work on weekends at all?

[obsidian patio]

They don’t work on weekends

[signal aspen]

oh, the person on the live chat said to give them 48 hours

[obsidian patio]

So I’d say to expect a response by Monday or Tuesday

[signal aspen]

it was on a Friday

[honest anvil]

how do you use arilaya's gear calc? what do i do after checking all gear pieces?

[obsidian patio]

The calculator itself is pretty obsolete from what I remember, so I don’t suggest trying to adjust it

Most people nowadays just use it to link sets and materia melds

I think most people moved onto Etro.gg since it has an easier UI

[honest anvil]

oh

that's lots of time wasted >.>

[silk summit]

Since we can't buy unaugmented scaevan gear anymore, what would be the next best second ring for BLU that doesn't require doing omega savage?

[obsidian patio]

You can use two Scaevan rings

[silk summit]

Augmented?

[obsidian patio]

Old level cap rings bought with tomestones don’t have thre unique tag anymore

[silk summit]

OHHH

That's good to know, thanks

[obsidian patio]

It was a thing they added with 5.3 to help people gear up

[analog gate]

mirage ring is also good iirc

[obsidian patio]

(Maybe it was 5.4)

[analog gate]

bought from the mamool ja vendor

[cursive abyss]

Why are some of these greyed out

in the top right corner

[slate arrow]

Greyed out?

[obsidian patio]

Either the dye or the glamour they’re using can’t be used on your current class

[toxic glen]

Like the dye colour indicator?

[twilit arch]

Because of the dye

[obsidian patio]

Like job-gear

[cursive abyss]

Oh thats what that is?

[twilit arch]

yes

that indicates its a glamoured item that is dyed

like how the pants/legs have a black +

which indicates its a glamoured item that cannot be dyed

if it was glamoured item can be dyed, but isn't, it would be a clear +

[faint beacon]

hello i have a question about the striking tree extreme

the tanks are suppose to grab 3 and swap

are the dps/healers suppose to grab some?

[tacit jungle]

The procs get more reliable later

More frequent

[faint beacon]

so as the dungeon goes on

people are suppose to help out more

?

[tacit jungle]

Help out in what way? Dungeons should be the same start to finish really

[faint beacon]

grabbing orbs

when the adds spawn

theres like 6 extra orbs

but im not sure if the tank just isn't picking them upor wh at

but i get clapped

[tacit jungle]

Lol. Orbs in what dungeon

[pseudo quartz]

Tanks can keep picking them up, but then they get less healing

[twilit arch]

they said ramuh

[pseudo quartz]

Ramuh extreme

[faint beacon]

ya

[tacit jungle]

Oh!

[twilit arch]

I assume you're doing it sync'd?

[faint beacon]

yes

[twilit arch]

current main tank should get 3

and off tank should pick up 3 when they need to switch

[pseudo quartz]

There are two orb mechanics, tanks grab three to prevent a tank Buster from killing them, but also total orbs boost a raid wide aoe

[twilit arch]

if there's any more after that, then yeah dps/healers can soak

[faint beacon]

ok

[twilit arch]

but ideally, you want to leave enough for tanks to grab 3

[faint beacon]

each tank? or just 3 total

[boreal storm]

3 total, more than 3 gives a debuff

[twilit arch]

just 3 total, since usually the orbs spawn faster than you need to swap

[faint beacon]

ok

thank you very much

[twilit arch]

so there's generally going to be enough up for the tank to grab 3 when they need to tank swap

[faint beacon]

the buff lasts 1 m inute right?

when you pick up 3

[obsidian patio]

Yep

[faint beacon]

ok

[plain python]

if you play an alt, it is possible to gather materials, put in FC chests, and have your main picking it up?

[faint flare]

Yes

[pallid axle]

How big is the echo buff in e8s?

[cursive abyss]

I just left a duty because I queued for it by accident, do I get punished?

Oh.

[oak ice]

If you leave an active duty or dodge 3 queue pops you get 30 minute penalty

[fallen niche]

Is rolling on the gear in savage raids what removes your loot privileges or does clearing them entirely remove them for the week

Cause I finally got an 11S clear but it was a 0 chest

[twilit arch]

clearing

[boreal storm]

Does the penalty time increase the more it happens?

[twilit arch]

afaik no its always 30minutes

[oak ice]

If you beat the savage fight but don't get anything, no more loot from that fight

Entering a higher floor, no loot from the lower uncleared ones

[obsidian patio]

I think it’s 10% currently?

[pallid axle]

Oh okay

[plain python]

does anyone knows what are tail and ear choice of Y'shola?

in character creation I mean. I don't want to see her suddenly have nine-tails cuz tinkering with mods 😮

[twilit arch]

ear choice isn't a thing for miqo'te

and her tail is the first option, size 50

[plain python]

oh I forgot that Miqo'te hairstyle attached to their ears

[oak ice]

You can search for NPCs on garlandtools to see if you can make them

[leaden ginkgo]

How many wolf marks do I get per rank up on pvp? I’m currently rank 22

Is it possible to just do the wedding without scheduling anything? Like we don’t care about invites and having a slot in there for whatever reason. We don’t want anyone else there. Why can’t we just do it now? Can we? Is it possible to?

[vernal inlet]

Hi I recently transferred over to Malboro (was and is currently a preferred world) to receive the road to 70 buff and play with my friends, I had the buff for the first 2 days of the transfer but now Im not getting the buff all of a sudden and rest of my friends are still receiving it.
-My character is not 90 days old
-None of my classes are over level 70 (current highest is 54 on dark knight)
-I submitted a ticket already and got a response from a GM 5 hours later which almost seems like an automated letter by a bot (Didn't read my ticket just gave me their website link to 'FF14 World transfers')
Anyone know how to resolve this issue or am I for some reason not qualified to get the road to 70 buff anymore?

[twilit arch]

road to 70 does not apply on transfer

its only for newly created characters

[crystal bluff]

I'm pretty sure you only get road to 70 when creating

[vernal inlet]

but I had the 100% boost for the first 2 days unless there was some kind of event that gave me 100% boost

[modest igloo]

rested and Armory bonus?

[vernal inlet]

Is it the level gap thing between my paladin and dark knight? (paladin was 52 and dark knight was mid 40s during that time)

[crystal bluff]

Yes

[twilit arch]

yes, armoury bonus

!faq armourybonus

[zinc orbit]

Armoury EXP bonus FAQ

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

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

'How much is the bonus experience?'

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

[vernal inlet]

dang alright sucks I guess thank you

[dire prawn]

Can I buy Augmented Shire gear as soon as I reach Idyllshire or do I have to complete 3.0

[modest igloo]

3.0

iirc

[twilit arch]

you can buy once you reach idyllshire

[dire prawn]

[blissful tulip]

Best level 70 dungeon for exp gains?

[oak ice]

Castrum Abania

[dire prawn]

A dungeon at 69 or 71

[blissful tulip]

The level 69 one?

[oak ice]

Yes

[dire prawn]

Cause level cap dungeons give shit for exp

[blissful tulip]

Got it, thanks.

[oak ice]

Level cap dungeons are worse for exp

[dire prawn]

So I found || Y'shtola || and she has a new weapon

Can I get this weapon

[hazy shadow]

I just made a new alt for a dc and intended on buying a level/story skip to go along with it. However, it's not finding my character. Is there a minimum wait I need to have for it to register that there is a new character?

[toxic glen]

Lodestone takes awhile to update I believe

Might have to wait a few

[hazy shadow]

Ah, ok that's what I figured. It was either that or it was msq gated in some way at the very beginning.

[upper zodiac]

is there a way to skip the MSQ quests that require you to complete an instance?

[toxic glen]

Nope

Just gotta do them

[upper zodiac]

even if you're waiting forever and ever 😦

[toxic glen]

Sadly yeah

[hazy shadow]

What instance are you stuck on, Mao?

[upper zodiac]

fire in the gloom

[crystal bluff]

Which one

[dire prawn]

The one she gets in Heavensward right after you finish your ordeal following the Bismarck fight

[upper zodiac]

sry its tam-tara deepcroft

is the instance

[crystal bluff]

@dire prawn then nope

[dire prawn]

No? ;-;

[crystal bluff]

If its the one I'm thinking of
I think its unobtainable

[dire prawn]

It has several pointed ends and is long as all hell

Looks nothing like a CNJ wand

[crystal bluff]

Big purple crystal near the tip?

[dire prawn]

I'll get back to you on that when I talk to her again

[twilit arch]

the one tataru gives her, right?

if so then no, its not obtainable

[dire prawn]

Yes

And damn

;-;

[honest anvil]

actually is any scions’ weapons obtainable?

[twilit arch]

The ARR ones, yeah

since most of those are generic weapons

[honest anvil]

been too long but ||did they even fight in arr?||

[crystal bluff]

Occasionally

[dire prawn]

Can I click on this

[crystal bluff]

Yes

[honest anvil]

You’re in hw so should be ok

[twilit arch]

not even a spoiler

heavensward weapons are a little more murky, there are similar model weapons for most of them iirc but not exactly the same

[dire prawn]

Killwryn

Where do I find the person to get Shire gear from in Idyllshire

Also is there really just the one Aethernet Shard here

[twilit arch]

Hismena in the big building in the center

[honest anvil]

Inside the center building

[twilit arch]

may need to finish the initial quest into idyllshire before you can see them

[dire prawn]

I found them right after I asked you

What the hell is this Augmented Hellfire and Tormentor gear

[twilit arch]

old tomestone gear

[dire prawn]

eww

So I want the second one with Shire gear

[twilit arch]

yes

[proud willow]

Shire is higher ilvl

most of the 240 sets look really good though

[dire prawn]

Does poetics gear stay the same cost at all levels

[honest anvil]

if wonderous tails is available there then you should get it

[proud willow]

for glamour later

[dire prawn]

if what is available

[twilit arch]

yes, prices are the same

[honest anvil]

It’s this side quest/ mini game to earn extra exp/ tomes/ maps but idk if it’s available at your progress

[twilit arch]

quest is "keeping up with the aliapohs"

[dire prawn]

Oh

I saw that as soon as I entered

What's it for?

Also am I blind or does Hismena not have Shire weapons

[twilit arch]

bertana has the weapons

[dire prawn]

Oh

[honest anvil]

exp, tomes, mgp points, treasure maps

[dire prawn]

So Bertana for weapons Hismena for armor and accessories

[twilit arch]

mhm

[copper marsh]

Idk what I’m doing in Eureka. I’m level 19 and can go to Pagos now but was advised not to. I finished all my challenge logs so now what I’m the world am I supposed to do to level? Killing individual mobs is painfully slow and I can’t tell what NMs have been killed or not

[toxic glen]

Is someone using a tracker in that instance? if so you can always view that and see whats available, I just did Eureka trains to like 21 or something

[dire prawn]

I picked up Wondrous Tails

So I just do the things in the book?

[toxic glen]

Pretty much and hope you're lucky

[dire prawn]

The only thing on my book that I can't do is Frontline

[toxic glen]

You can only do 9 I think, cant do all of them

[dire prawn]

Oh

[slate arrow]

no, you can do all of them

[copper marsh]

I’ve seen people ask this and then post a link but I’m on console. I know the tracking site though

[slate arrow]

however, you can only 'redeem' 9

[toxic glen]

Sorry yeah that's what I meant

[toxic glen]

Most of the time I just join a party and just follow them around, someone will more than likely be using it in that group

Tried solo at the start but that was painfully slow

[dire prawn]

What's the wand that other WHM has?

The lady in front of duck head GNB

[rugged shoal]

I thought flying was in heavensward?

i unlocked it at the end of ARR

[dire prawn]

Flying is everywhere

[remote lintel]

looks like black willow cane

[dire prawn]

Heavensward onward just requires you to unlock it for each zone

[rugged shoal]

Ohhhh

[faint flare]

They added flying to arr zones in 5.3

[dire prawn]

Augmented Black Willow Cane

[remote lintel]

they have the same model

[dire prawn]

What is Epilogue Gate

Is that where I entered Idyllshire from

[wheat plume]

SAM uses more critical or direct hit?

[modest igloo]

both

make sure you're hitting your SKS tier tho

[shut panther]

crit is higher priority at current gear

[dire prawn]

So uhh

I was doing Labyrinth of the Ancients

And the 2nd to last boss King Behemoth randomly oneshot me

How is that fight supposed to work

[warped nest]

When the meteor crash down

Did you break line of sight, by hiding behind boulders

[dire prawn]

I don't know what happened

One moment I'm looking at this thing that has ABC and like three other symbols and the next King Behemoth oneshots me

[honest anvil]

Ye sounds like ded by meteor

[slate arrow]

yeah, meteor

tl;dr behemoth summons meteors, and then summons a bigger meteor

[warped nest]

If you aren't sure what happened, always check what your party members are doing

[slate arrow]

you want to stand behind the smaller meteor away from behemoth

otherwise, you die

(goes though invuln too)

[dire prawn]

He did it... three times I think?

The first time did nothing to me

The second time oneshot me

And the third also did nothing

[warped nest]

Because you were covered on the first and third time

[dire prawn]

So I don't know what I was doing

Do both his small meteor attack then his big oneshot meteor have names to them

Or are they instant casts so you just have to know what to look for

[warped nest]

Big attacks are never insta cast

[raven sage]

The small ones are called comets

not meteors

[warped nest]

That's bad game design

[slate arrow]

also he stands up on his hind legs when the Big Meteor comes down, iirc

[warped nest]

Comets targets multiple players and leave boulders on their location

Then yes, behemoth stands up and cast meteor and target itself

[dire prawn]

So after the small ones come down hide behind one

[warped nest]

You want to stay behind boulders that are outside of behemoth target ring

[toxic glen]

Oh yeah if the boulder is too close to behemoth and you're behind it you'll still die

[dire prawn]

Are they back-to-back casts or does he wait after the small ones drop to do his big one

[slate arrow]

wait

back to back but there's some waiting

also if all 3 meteors are in his hitbox well

[warped nest]

Just observe what he is doing

[slate arrow]

that's a wipe

[warped nest]

Or observe what your party members are doing

[toxic glen]

Learnt that one the hard way, thought I was being smart getting uptime

[warped nest]

If tanks or melee dps walk away and stay still, then you should do it too

[dire prawn]

I did Alliance Raid roulette and MSQ roulette for poetics

What else can I do for them

I think the only other one I have that's worth anything is Trials roulette

[toxic glen]

50/60/70s alright for them I think

[dire prawn]

Oh that's what I meant

50/60/70 roulette not Trials roulette

[toxic glen]

I think people were mentioning hunt trains but not sure what tomestones they give

[dire prawn]

I believe that's for the new event

So the Irregular Tomestones of Esoterics

[toxic glen]

Pretty sure they dont give irregulars

[naive kraken]

current ShB A rank hunts give 10 tomes of revelation

[dire prawn]

oh

[naive kraken]

i think 20 and 40 of the others?

40 poetics and 20 of the other

or is it 30 poetics and 40 nuts. either way, yeah, hunts can give tomes. just not the moogle ones

[dire prawn]

Can I fly in Idyllshire once I unlock flying in the Dravanian Hinterlands?

[naive kraken]

nope

[whole wasp]

HW flying is zone by zone unlock

also, no flying in player hubs + cities

[naive kraken]

no unlock in idyll = no fly

[whole wasp]

idyllshire considered a player hub so no flying

[dire prawn]

Damn

So I can ride my mount but I can't fly

[naive kraken]

mor dhona would be the only hub that has flying

[winged oyster]

so I just finished all the MSQ and unlocked the 2 optional dungeons, my next question is... Where do I unlock the raids / salvage?

!faq astmacros

[zinc orbit]

**Macros on AST?**

Explanation, here

Short answer, it is always unoptimal, full stop. Cards, and to a much lesser extent GCD mending spells, can be <mo>'d at this cost of agency and optimality.

Do NOT macro Star as your primary Star button.

[earnest wraith]

is using macros like <mo> bad?

according to faq

for healing

as moba healer... I'm addicted to smart cast

[whole wasp]

yes, its bad

because macros in ffixv are designed to be bad

[earnest wraith]

[faint flare]

They dont skill que thus come out slower

[whole wasp]

they dont queue, dont buffer, finicky to activate and cannot call another macro

that said, you can work around these restrictions and accept their shittiness, you can find limited uses for them

[fallen niche]

Do the riding maps for ARR zones boost fly speed or only ground speed

[whole wasp]

only ground speed

[faint flare]

Only ever ground

[whole wasp]

flying speed is fixed

[fallen niche]

aight cool

[whole wasp]

cannot be increased or decreased

[chilly shuttle]

So I just realized now you can allocate attributes in the relic, any idea where can to find the best for manatrigger?

[slate arrow]

[upper zodiac]

I just completed a duty for the MSQ and my quest didn't progress and it's saying I have to do the duty again... what happened?

[obsidian patio]

Are you sure you completed the right duty? You might’ve had a previous duty still selected when queueing up

[dire prawn]

Open your Duty Finder and see if you have another dungeon/trial/whatever selected still

[rocky finch]

Hello, I’m a new player looking to start the game. Is the MSQ difficult as I am not looking to grind and I heard you have to get top gear to finish story quests - is this true? I only want to focus on story, is there any difficulty setting? I am going to school alone and away from family so would like something to play during spare time thanks.

[dire prawn]

It'll show in the very bottom when you open it and you can just hit the 'Clear Selection' button

[remote lintel]

@rocky finch no its not hard and whoever told you that you need top gear to beat the story is mistaken

[dire prawn]

No difficulty setting, MSQ itself is piss poor easy but there's dungeons and trials and whatnot that are required

[upper zodiac]

omg.......I think i just did the wrong duty T_T

[remote lintel]

you can beat the story with shit gear

[dire prawn]

As long as you're gearing yourself properly you're fine

[rocky finch]

Ok thank you friends

I may buy the game, will level skip potion make me strong and won’t have to grind or face any difficulty completing the main story

[naive kraken]

there's minimum item level gear requirements, but you get tomes and gear along the way, shadowbringers gives you plenty of gear drops and once you hit 80 and progress MSQ you get gear level to complpete the story

[dire prawn]

No

Do not do taht

[remote lintel]

you dont need to grind in this game at all

[obsidian patio]

The story basically carries your level in experience

[remote lintel]

the game literally holds your hand

[obsidian patio]

Even more so if you start on a preferred world

You’ll be overleveled most of the time

[dire prawn]

most all of the time

[rocky finch]

That’s is great to hear, I will buy the game then during Friday when I finish school

[naive kraken]

i started on a preferred world, got one tank, one healer, and one dps to 70 before the end of stormblood, which was the caap at the time

[dire prawn]

Road to 70 actually makes it impossible to not be overleveled if you level up only one job (which you should do if you're new)

Or two jobs

Toss in roulettes and other things and you can do what Siobhan did which is level three at once

[rocky finch]

Is there a way to main gun guy from the beginning? The gun tank I like tank characters

[dire prawn]

But if you're new level just one job

[remote lintel]

no

[dire prawn]

Nope

[remote lintel]

gunbreaker requires getting one class to lvl 60 and owning shadowbringers

[naive kraken]

literally did MSQ on one, roulettes on another, switched to MSQ when first maxed, roulettes on third, finished off MSQ and roulettes on third

[dire prawn]

Gunbreaker requires the complete edition of the game and for you to reach Lv 60 as one of the DoW/DoM jobs

[rocky finch]

Oh okay then, then I will just start the paladin tank he seems cool

[dire prawn]

Paladin starts out as Gladiator

When you reach a certain point in the MSQ, provided you've been doing your GLD class quests you'll be presented with the job unlock quest for Paladin

[rocky finch]

What about starting as gladiator tank guy, then buying level potion to become dark knight or gun guy? Would this work?

[dire prawn]

It's very highly not recommended to skip in any way

[remote lintel]

its not recommended to buy level skips on your first job

[dire prawn]

When it's your very first time playing

[rocky finch]

Cuz gun guy and dark knight looks cool, isn’t my first job paladin guy?

[naive kraken]

shouldnt buy skips until you have one class maxed in that job type, and that's only if you absolutely have to

[remote lintel]

you would be way over leveled for the story and you can't use your higher level skills during the story

[dire prawn]

Gladiator (Paladin) and Marauder (Warrior) are the two tanks you can start as

[remote lintel]

you would be lvl 70 stuck with like lvl 20 skills

[rocky finch]

Okay, I’ll start as gladiator and then become paladin guy. If I want to play as gun guy or dark knight, what should I do and when should I do it?

[whole wasp]

gunbreaker also starts at lvl 60 so buying a skip only skips 10 levels

there is no discount

[dire prawn]

Gunbreaker just requires you to be Lv 60

[remote lintel]

gunbreaker doesnt have a level skip

[whole wasp]

derp

[dire prawn]

Dark Knight on the other hand requires you to complete the base game and enter the Heavensward expansion

[remote lintel]

dark knight requires you to get to the first expansion heavensward

so its story locked

[dire prawn]

Yes

It's one of three jobs locked behind the story

[rocky finch]

Thanks friends, if I somehow get to unlock dark knight, do I have to level him from level 1 again

[remote lintel]

dark knight starts at lvl 30

[rocky finch]

Lots of grinding again?

[dire prawn]

Dark Knight starts at 30

[rocky finch]

Ok would I be weak and cannot complete story due to level 30 and have to grind

[dire prawn]

However, Heavensward starts at 50 so you'd need to level Dark Knight to 50

Yes

[gloomy ice]

Not quite as much. Any class below your highest level gets a natural 100% exp boost.

[remote lintel]

you would have to grind a little bit but its not really a lot

[dire prawn]

And it's not a grind at all

[rocky finch]

Oh... how to level so much

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

[naive kraken]

roulettes and beast tribes help you level faster

[rocky finch]

Ok I will look for roulette and beast tribe thing when I play this Friday

[dire prawn]

You unlock both by playing the story

[remote lintel]

theyre locked behind levels

and it will take you a while to get to heavensward anyway so dont worry about it now

[dire prawn]

Daily Leveling Roulette (the first roulette you unlock) unlocks when you complete the Tam-Tara Deepcroft dungeon

Beast Tribes unlock for the first time after you complete the 2.0 MSQ and enter post-ARR

And yes, getting to Heavensward is going to take some time

[rocky finch]

I see thank you friends, I hope I meet nice friends in game too thank you for explaining I am really unsure as this is my first proper mmo I saved up for

[remote lintel]

not all of them

[dire prawn]

True

I think it's like what, two tribes that unlock?

[remote lintel]

its like

all of them

[dire prawn]

Or three actually

Unless I'm misremembering it should be the Amalj'aa, Kobolds and Sahagin

[whole wasp]

slyphs?

[dire prawn]

Oh true

I forgot they're technically a beast tribe

[remote lintel]

you can play the free trial which lets you play the base game and heavensward

they all require "in pursuit of the past" which is lvl 41 msq

[dire prawn]

Oh they do?

I thought they didn't unlock until you did Ultima Weapon

[leaden ginkgo]

My UI layout didn't change but my hotbar is empty.

What could have caused this?

Gear sets are gone too.

[whole wasp]

did you accidentally change hotbars

not sure why gear sets are gone

[rigid dust]

are Sorrowful memories from the middle or bottom zone in Bozja~?

[vapid ferry]

is it better to leave Diadem once the aether meter is full or?

should i just stay till i get bored

[remote lintel]

aether meter is for using the cannon

[boreal storm]

Dump the aether gun before you leave

[vapid ferry]

ahh ok

do i just stay in the diadem as long as i want or is better to renter at a certain point

[remote lintel]

there's no benefit to returning early

[vapid ferry]

ohh ok thxx this Diadem thing is so convenient

[twilit arch]

Killwryn

What's the name of the quest for the Lv 59 dungeon

[twilit arch]

Forbidden Knowledge

[dire prawn]

God help me

It's the library then isn't it

[twilit arch]

yes

[dire prawn]

Wait

Does the library sync me to i150

[twilit arch]

yes

[arctic orbit]

how do i use party finder, i cant find it anywhere

im on free trial btw

[dire prawn]

You don't

Free Trial doesn't have PF

[arctic orbit]

ok

im tryna do rahmul on ex

[dire prawn]

If you're trying to queue for it normally on Crystal at this time of night you might as well give up now

Nobody does EX trials through duty finder

[arctic orbit]

i have like 5 different queues at once

and thats one of them

i found a party but we ran out of time lmao

[twilit arch]

Either ignore it, or come back to it later

[rigid dust]

your best bet for Rahmul EX is to either have someone in your FC take you through, or to just go solo it at level 80 if you upgrade from the free trial

[delicate field]

crystal is dead on PST nights it's sad

[arctic orbit]

im gonna upgrade like tommorow

[rigid dust]

nice! c:

[arctic orbit]

also im actually euw but i made a character on crystal because thats my friends server

[delicate field]

are you in france or something

[arctic orbit]

ireland

[delicate field]

it says its 720 am in ireland, sounds like evenings will be active for you

[arctic orbit]

so you said crystal is dead at nights?

is that true for all servers or just crystal

[wispy flare]

how much exp does mt gulg give o ur on a run?

[twilit arch]

its...early morning for NA

so primal and aether are going to be pretty quiet too

[rigid dust]

Crystal is just mostly an NA data center, and it's between midnight and 4am in NA

[warped nest]

@wispy flare around one third of a bar

[delicate field]

im on PST and having a hard time finding ppl on Crystal at this time, which is past 3am for most eastern us players

[twilit arch]

more time appropriate data center for you would be chaos or light, since those are the EU datacenters

[warped nest]

Give or take

[arctic orbit]

yeah but can i play with my friend if im on those

[rigid dust]

that is to say, nothing wrong with playing on Crystal either. you just might not have a lot of activity this time of day

[wispy flare]

around one third of a bar
@warped nest

I’m @ 79 rn, just 3.4 mil exp away from 80 :v

[twilit arch]

currently, no since data centers dont interact with each other

my main point is that this time of day is dead for all of NA

[rigid dust]

but yeah, to answer your original question, i'd honestly just wait on Rahmul cx

[arctic orbit]

i feel like i can beat him in a proper raid party now

i know the mechanics

[twilit arch]

especially since its monday morning

[warped nest]

If you haven't already, you can do the hunt bill from Crystarium

You should be able to do all 15 since you are lvl 79

[rigid dust]

might just want to give it a try later on in the day~? you'll be hard pressed to find a queue for it this time of night

er, morning

[arctic orbit]

my main concern isnt finding a queue its that if i do find a queue we can actually beat it

i have like 5 dungeons queued up at the same time so i found ramul ex in like 30 mins

[twilit arch]

that's going to be a mix bag, since you're getting either new players who don't realize that queueing for extremes aren't the way NA handles things

or mentors getting it thru mentor roulette (and probably not interested in teaching it)

[rigid dust]

well, the thing is, most people queueing for it are in the same position you are yeah~? people who know the fight are typically gonna be nearing level cap by this point

and they dont have a need to queue

[twilit arch]

it will honestly be easier to just hit 80 and unsync it yourself

[arctic orbit]

when i fought it some guy told us all the mechanics and I got a handle on it

but we ran out of time

so i guess just wait until i get party finder?

[rigid dust]

most likely your best bet c:

[twilit arch]

or just wait until you're max lvl, and smash it solo yourself

and get all the rewards

[arctic orbit]

i dont want to cheese it

i wanna do it for real

[silver ruin]

gl, hardly anyone does old stuff synced anymore

[rigid dust]

i think thats fair~ it can feel super rewarding to crush the boss synced

[silver ruin]

theres a few niche discords for it but

it's gonna be hard to throw together a group

[twilit arch]

then you'd probably want to join a discord that does content sync

because even with pf access you will likely be waiting a fair bit

since most people will be expecting to do it unsync

[arctic orbit]

how does that work then

can i not queue up for level 50 partys

if i sync

[twilit arch]

you can

but most people do not queue for extremes sync'd

because its easier to just do it unsync and kill it in like a couple of seconds

[rigid dust]

for starters, try making a party finder when you can

if that bears no fruit, you may try to find a discord for synced content specifically

[dire prawn]

What's the mechanic on the last boss in the library for his void call?

[proud willow]

the big book guy?

[dire prawn]

I'm assuming that's supposed to be a wipe mechanic of some sort but there were these like basically marked circles my team walked through and it'd do nothing

Yeah

[proud willow]

each of the circles will lock if the right number of people stand in it, even for just a second

[shut panther]

you need to have enough people at the same time

[proud willow]

you have to lock each of the circles before time runs out, or the circle spawns an add

[shut panther]

the first is easy mode, 1 person per

next is 2 players per

last is 3 in

[dire prawn]

Oh

So it's not a wipe

It just summons things

[proud willow]

Right

[shut panther]

the targeted aoe he casts does a lot of damage, so you need to make sure you don't place it on one of the circles one it's cast on you

or else you'll be unable to sit on it because.. damage.

[dire prawn]

You mean the purple orb things?

[shut panther]

yeah

[dire prawn]

I almost died to them before I realized what they did

That was his first cast of them though

[shut panther]

after about.. halfway? it'll alternate point blank and donut aoes

[dire prawn]

Yep

I just dropped Asylum right on top of him and tossed Regen on my tank

30 seconds of free damage right there

[toxic glen]

After it does 2 people per circle Im pretty sure

[dire prawn]

He's talking about his AoE skills

[shut panther]

that sounds correct

[dire prawn]

Not the purple orbs

Or the Void Call thing

Somehow the SAM died randomly on the final boss early on

[toxic glen]

No donut and circle AoEs they start after 2 people per circle is what I meant

[delicate field]

just hit 70 on astrologian, should i keep running dungeons or do leves or soemething

[dire prawn]

I was doing my stone spam and looked at the party and the SAM was dead

[delicate field]

maybe fates

[warped nest]

Leves are horrible for combat jobs

And above lvl 60, there are no more combat leves

Only crafter and gatherer leve

Just do dungeons

Take note that your best option for experience is level 69 dungeon

[delicate field]

oh really, Im already 80 on all crafters and gaterers, guess ill keep leves for gils

[warped nest]

Not level 70 dungeons

[shut panther]

if you have unlocked bozja, do dungeons until 71 then go into bozja

[warped nest]

Healer and tank should still stick with dungeons if they want to gain exp fast

[shut panther]

if you haven't, continue spamming the highest non-level cap dungeon

[worthy basin]

if you planted a thavnairian onion seeds, do you get the seeds back if you harvested the crop 10 days later?

[delicate field]

I havent unlocked it, thats part of the relic weapon isnt it?

[silver ruin]

it is

[shut panther]

also, do your levelling roulette everyday. and the msq roulette, if you can stand it.

[rigid dust]

that, and its a pretty fun way to level

[toxic glen]

Wish I knew this like a month ago, ran so much Ghimlyt Dark

[shut panther]

tbh, I don't really get why they don't let level cap dungeons give real amounts of experience.

the game would be better for it.

[warped nest]

If they give real amount, you will be lvl 80 before you hit Shadowbringers story

[toxic glen]

Poetics + Exp might be too op I guess?

[proud willow]

the only way to get a seed when you harvest is if you successfully crossbred

[delicate field]

I hit 80 by the early ShB, so much wasted exp lol

[shut panther]

I guess that's true, but also can happen anyway.

[rugged shoal]

Just finished ARR (msq atleast) want to get into tanking which tank should i try?

[worthy basin]

ohhhh so its a one time thing then

[shut panther]

alternatively they could only make them give exp once you've completed that expansion's msq.

[delicate field]

@rugged shoal darkk knight of course

[shut panther]

for alts, etc.

[rugged shoal]

i thought that was in shadowbringers?

[delicate field]

i dunno lol, just be a DK and youll be good

[proud willow]

If you plan something specific next to a Thavnairian Onion, you will get a seed (but it won't be an onion seed)

[shut panther]

dark knight unlocks at 50 when you get to ishgard

[rugged shoal]

Ohh ok

I think im close to getting there

just have to get through the ARR patches

[rigid dust]

@rugged shoal this game tends to be super balanced, just try whatever looks most fun! gunbreaker is my favorite tank c:

[delicate field]

I've been a main healer for a lot of dungeons and DK tanks have been my fave tanks to heal for

[worthy basin]

i just finish cross breeding plants to get jute seed and curiel seed, now i'm looking to sell the thav seeds than growing it.

[shut panther]

you're not that close, post ARR is almost 50% of the content of ARR itself

[leaden ginkgo]

Watch a video comparing the tanks and level the one that looks the most fun for you

[rugged shoal]

yaaa DK and GB have been the tanks ive been looking at but i thought both were locked at later dlcs

[shut panther]

gunbreaker unlocks when you get to SHB/L70

[leaden ginkgo]

it felt more like 30-20% to me

[delicate field]

@rugged shoal practice as warrior till you unlock dark knight

[rugged shoal]

oof will try and get through it then to get to heavensward as fast as i can

[warped nest]

Gunbreaker unlocks at lvl 60

And if you owns Shadowbringers

Dark Knight, Machinist, and Astrologian are the only three Jobs locked inside an expansion area

[delicate field]

most of the tanks i heal seem to be dark knights

[shut panther]

that would make sense in the late ARR range

[dire prawn]

Post-ARR is about half of ARR's length

[shut panther]

since drk starts at 30

[warped nest]

Samurai, Red Mage, Gunbreaker, and Dancer can be accessed once you hit lvl 50 and 60 respectively

[rugged shoal]

Was planning on Astro > GB > DK > Red Mage but ill go DK first now

[dire prawn]

LC

10 levels lower

[warped nest]

Oh, yeah

My bad

[dire prawn]

Samurai and Red Mage at 50, Gunbreaker and Dancer at 60

[delicate field]

when a dark knight uses that one skill that makes teeth come out of the ground, it's pretty sweet

[dire prawn]

SAM and RDM both are in Ul'dah, DNC is in Limsa and GNB is in Gridania

[dire prawn]

Unleash is best AoE

[warped nest]

Same applies to the Endwalker Jobs

[dire prawn]

I unlocked DRK just to use it

[warped nest]

They will start at lvl 70 and they will be available in the ARR starting cities

[shut panther]

it better be, because you spend 40 goddamn levels spamming it

[dire prawn]

You spend 40 levels all the levels spamming it

[delicate field]

lol truth, am healer and when the DRK uses the teeth, i know he's in for real and i can heal properly

[dire prawn]

Or wait

[shut panther]

unleash soul is at 72

[dire prawn]

Unleash's combo skill doesn't unlock until 72

[shut panther]

err

stalwart

yeah that's what I was getting at

[dire prawn]

So 42 levels of Unleash spam uwu

[warped nest]

You get your flood too

And Abyssal

Something else to press once a while

[delicate field]

but who cares, thats the tanks problem as whm we just Cure all day every day

[shut panther]

cure holy

[dire prawn]

You mean Holy all day every day

Once you hit 45 and do your job quest at least

[delicate field]

if the tank can handle it lol

[shut panther]

I mean, holy is giving the tank 0 damage taken buff

all they have to do is hit the aoe button they have

[delicate field]

if the tank goes down in 5 hits youre not gonna have a good time

[shut panther]

the tank isn't being hit, that's the point

[leaden ginkgo]

If im in dol/doh job and finish quests
Exp go for dol/doh right?

[delicate field]

no

[shut panther]

exp goes to whatever job started the quest

[leaden ginkgo]

Ohhhh

[delicate field]

you cant turn in quests at DoH/DoL

[shut panther]

and you can't start like.. msq quests as doh/dol, so

[warped nest]

No

[leaden ginkgo]

Every quests can be started with only dom/dow right!

[warped nest]

The exp goes to whoever turn in the quest

[leaden ginkgo]

Ah i see

[delicate field]

unless they are specifically DoH/DoL quests

some of them exists

[leaden ginkgo]

So the only way to lvlup dol doh is thier each job quest?

[warped nest]

You go do DoL doh activities

[dire prawn]

Is there Shire gear for DNC and GNB?

[warped nest]

Like gathering stuff

[dire prawn]

Well

[warped nest]

And making stuff

[dire prawn]

GNB

fuck

[leaden ginkgo]

Yeah and thier activity

[dire prawn]

DNC

[warped nest]

Yeah, GNB uses tank gear

[leaden ginkgo]

Doh/Dol gets huge EXP for turning in stuff at the grand company counter

[shut panther]

yes

[warped nest]

Dancer uses Range Physical gear

[dire prawn]

Does DNC have their own Shire gear or is it paired with the Shire gear for BRD and MCH

[warped nest]

Paired

[shut panther]

they use the tank/ranged dps gear, and there's also class specific weapons for both

[dire prawn]

oh

But they do have Shire weapons then

[shut panther]

yes

[dire prawn]

nocie

noice

[warped nest]

Going back to quest exp

Quests have requirements to make sure that you cannot use it to power level under level jobs

[true axle]

most gear is role based

[warped nest]

You don't see yourself being barred from turning in a quest because most of the time, you meet the requirements

[true axle]

except melee

cause you know

melee things

[leaden ginkgo]

This is so sad
Gunblades look so dumb in this game

I would love them to wield gun in another hand

[plain python]

try the ironwork or allgan one?

[warped nest]

maybe it is because gunblade is dumb

[leaden ginkgo]

Another one weilding sword

[plain python]

sound like a Limsa pirate

[warped nest]

I think the level 64 or 66 crafted gunblade looks good

[leaden ginkgo]

I play too kuch bloodborne lol

[warped nest]

Don't remember their name though

[agile laurel]

gunblades in this game follow the FF8 logic, so they don't have a firearm capable of attacking at range (despite how some appear) - they discharge rounds into the blade itself to augment its properties

not to be confused with Garlean 'gunblades' which are just arms with a gun attached

i hate to compare gunblades to capsule coffee machines but that's a practical comparison i guess...?

[leaden ginkgo]

Yeah

[plain python]

instead of a rifle with a blade attached, it is a blade with a gun attached.

[agile laurel]

sort of. if you consider that the gun aspect is within the blade itself and not to be used as a firearm, that's enough of the concept to get by

although a lot of aspects of a gunblade do boil down to 'protagonist energy, don't question it'

[pulsar escarp]

I come in and find someone comparing gunblades to coffee machines this is fantastic

[soft flicker]

is there any realistic way to make money fishing?

[plain python]

send fishing retainers in 18-hour trip and hope for something cool returned?

[soft flicker]

not quite what i meant T_T but ty lol

[plain python]

maybe check ALC or CUL consumable to see if they use fish?

[soft flicker]

sure sure, ty

[leaden ginkgo]

I forgot, is Materia not useful for synched content?

[warped nest]

Some endgame Collectible fishes can be broken down into sands via aetherial reduction

Sands used for endgame crafting

For combat jobs, Materia is just not useful until you hit max level

[plain python]

and it is painful to add and remove them every times you change gear lol

[warped nest]

In the case of synced contents, your stats are capped at specific values, so you probably won't get anything out of your materia

[leaden ginkgo]

I wonder thanks to Free Trial

[warped nest]

Materia is worthwhile ish for gatherer and crafter, because their materia give them their primary stat

Which might allow you to skips some gearing here and there

Combat materia gives secondary stat. Getting better gear with more primary stat is more fruitful for combat jobs

[leaden ginkgo]

Considering i am gonna be capped to 60, did made me ponder of like

If i should even worry to 'BiS Meld it'

Specially since this is a permanent free trial account

If you can only choose 1 job to play
What would you choose?

[warped nest]

BiS meld is not compulsory for anything in this game

Aside from 3 contents

I'd choose one of the tanks

[leaden ginkgo]

@warped nest cos it s fun?

[slate arrow]

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh I'll have to get back to you on that because enjoy all the jobs quite literally

[warped nest]

Cuz I like fish and water

(fish tank? Water tank?)

(I'm sorry)

[slate arrow]

/jokingly

[warped nest]

Echoing what Industrial said, I do enjoy most of the jobs

Aside from monk

Just personal preference here

[slate arrow]

The only jobs I arguably don't enjoy is just scholar but that's because I don't like only having an average of like 4 aetherflow a minute and both AST and WHM are relatively comfy when it comes you healing

[warm snow]

Sch is annoying but ew can fix it. Give us something to use the fairy gauge on gdi

[woeful nacelle]

Does a new ex primal launch with 5.5?

[toxic glen]

Don't mind SCH all that much except Fairy AI but I dont do hardcore content

[slate arrow]

We'll probably get the last Weapon, minimum.

Anything else is still up in the air until they announce more 5.5 stuff

[woeful nacelle]

Oh so it could just be a normal mode at first?

[toxic glen]

Sites out for it, unreal and The Cloud Deck (Guessing the new Weapon Trial)

[slate arrow]

Hopefully not but nothing is confirmed until the full site is out

That or the live letter

[toxic glen]

||https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/shadowbringers/patch_5_5/||

Patch 5.5 site

[woeful nacelle]

When does the site usually fill out all the way?

[slate arrow]

we don't know

This version of a patch site is a first

Normally we'd have more content if the other patch sites are anything to go by

[woeful nacelle]

ah gotcha

[agile laurel]

price has dropped with ishgard restoration but may be worth checking what goes into crafters' food

blue crabs used to be up

[obsidian patio]

Fish that go into aquariums can be decent profit but usually not something you can easily get a lot of

[warm snow]

That includes all 5.55 content as well iirc

[agile laurel]

tbh. if you feel like dedicating 2 days or so to fishing for stormblood aquarium big fish, more power, but that shit kills your soul

[toxic glen]

5.55 should mostly be just Bozja stuff though right? that and maybe the Restoration stuff too?

[agile laurel]

and a weapon trial

considering restoration is 'done' i'm not personally expecting much more than a capstone RP quest and/or potentially some new scrip vendor items

[soft flicker]

i like fishing, if theres a rare fish that can fetch a good amount that i can go for i wouldn't mind that

[agile laurel]

in terms of 'dummy rare aquarium fish that are also pricey as hell but the windows for obtaining are comparatively not too bad' check your mb prices for warden of the 7 hues

[silver ruin]

weapon trial? what

[agile laurel]

sorrows of werlyt?

[edgy sail]

Do savage raids still only give you one set of drops per week or are they infinitely farmable?

[agile laurel]

y'know, ruby emerald sapphire...?

[silver ruin]

he said 5.55, not 5.5

lmao

[edgy sail]

Old ones I mean

[agile laurel]

Oh. Misread.

Duh

[silver ruin]

latter

[soft flicker]

warden of the 7 hues in 6.6m for me 😄

[silver ruin]

only the current one is weekly locked

[agile laurel]

Old ones would do yeah, current tier is still locked

[edgy sail]

Can somebody explain what tier means?

Like are the early eden raids already farmable?

[honest anvil]

in the context of eden, current tier is e9 til e12

[edgy sail]

Cool, thanks

[honest anvil]

and ye, earlier eden raids like 1 til 8 are farmable

for glamours

[edgy sail]

...yeah, I have glamour catchup to do

[honest anvil]

Their gears are outdated stats wise fwiw

[soft flicker]

@agile laurel do you know if the warden of the seven hues has any weird requirement? like mooching a fish to mooch another fish until i get it?

[edgy sail]

Is it easy to find a team to clear unsync alexander in party finder anymore or do people already have the glamours they want?

[soft flicker]

or is it just fishing for em

[edgy sail]

Well I guess I'll find out

[honest anvil]

normal alexander?

[agile laurel]

it does, yes. I haven't done fsh since fish eyes was changed, but it requires overall 4 successful mooches on a 50% chance in half-hour windows

[edgy sail]

No, savage

The normal ones aren't dyeable

[soft flicker]

gotcha gotcha, so basically just fish and mooch if i can

[agile laurel]

uh, specify - 5 minute windows every half hour

misspoke

[honest anvil]

i know that people do host farm party for a2s

[soft flicker]

wait so once every half hour i might get the fish?

[agile laurel]

check carbuncleplushy for the windows/prequisites and hope you get lucky. also make sure you have the correct scrip bait

The fish that are required to mooch off are timed

[honest anvil]

most other ones are solo-able with tanks afaik

[soft flicker]

i see i see

[agile laurel]

Red and Purple prismfish need to be mooched for firelight/violet with a side chance of... white? i forget. but they're on a window

[soft flicker]

i see, weird

[edgy sail]

Is it something that isn't too tough to learn?

[agile laurel]

in terms of big fish+aquarium fish it's comparatively the most tame

ESPECIALLY comparatively to stormblood

[soft flicker]

like the method to get it?

[agile laurel]

yes

[soft flicker]

gotcha

[agile laurel]

and the availability

[soft flicker]

so basically i can try to get the fish that can mooch for the big boy twice an hour?

[agile laurel]

just make sure to fish in a different hole occasionally so you don't get locked out of prism lake

ask me how i know

[honest anvil]

solo later alexander tiers with tanks isnt that easy but doable

[silver ruin]

heavensward savages can be duoed, sb ones you want a full party but you can skip most of the major mechs besides o12s

[agile laurel]

something like that. it's best that you check the info yourself

[silver ruin]

eden raids you need a full party, you can unsync those but you'll still see most of the mechanics

current eden raids

are still locked/you gotta learn all the mechanics

[agile laurel]

https://ff14fish.carbuncleplushy.com/

[soft flicker]

yeah reading it, just a bit confusing, didnt know fishing was like that lol

[edgy sail]

Sweet, time for fashion then

[agile laurel]

essentially you'll see that carbuncleplushy informs you what fish are required for intuition pop in the drop-down, and what 'bait' is required

so expect a long haul so you won't be disappointed

[lapis shard]

Hello I found a pretty big guide about 5.05 Crafting and Gathering. Is it still good for current patch for leveling from 1 to 50 on DoH and DoL jobs?

[agile laurel]

i personally spent the best part of 3 days with 2 unsuccessful intuition windows before I caught it on the third

on the second it simply never bit

[soft flicker]

yeah... idk if thats for me lol. i enjoy the relaxation of just fishing, with the hopes of a rare fish happening

didn't know thats how fishing was T_T

[agile laurel]

we're into Big Fish here, so that's how This is

naturally the prequisites are a little more cursed

[soft flicker]

im assuming theres no real consistent way to fish for money?

just kinda fishing and money decently adding up

[agile laurel]

there will be. check what goes into relevant stat food

i can't speak for your dc/world economy

[soft flicker]

kk, i guess i just don't know what food is good lol

[clever ether]

Hey everyone!

I have to ask again as I forgot and playing two chars at the moment. How did you go from marauder to warrior now again?

[dire prawn]

Job stone

Marauder + Soul of the Warrior = Warrior

[clever ether]

How do I get the warrior stone?

[warm snow]

Job quest

[dire prawn]

Job quest

[warm snow]

It'll be linked just under the next main scenario quest

[dire prawn]

When you complete the Lv 30 Marauder quest that has you take down the giant thing and complete the Sylph Management MSQ the Marauder guildmaster will have the Warrior job unlock quest

[warm snow]

Finish all mrd quests to start war quest

[dire prawn]

I hate you Kupo

[warm snow]

Oh and sylph management msq if you're on a preferred server/overlevelled

!faq job

[zinc orbit]

How do I unlock my job?

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

[dire prawn]

Are you serious

Kupo

Fucking die

[warm snow]

[slate elm]

Hackerman

[clever ether]

Ah okay I will just do the main quest! 🙂 thanks alot for info!

[swift pasture]

if you dsmissed squadron recruits/members, can they apply again or are they gone forever?

[warm snow]

Gone forever

If rng is in your favour you might see a similar looking recruit again

[dire prawn]

What music plays when you use the || Midgardsormr || mount?

[warm snow]

Depends on the mount

Extreme trial mounts tend to play a track from the fight(ponies from arr, hw birds, sb dogs etc.)

[dire prawn]

If you've finished Heavensward 3.0 and did Aetherochemical Research Facility you can click on the spoiler tag

[warm snow]

Oh that sorry didn't see that

[dire prawn]

I have Markab from Ramuh EX and his theme is so damn good

[warm snow]

Nah, the only bad one is from ||sephirot||

[warm snow]

It's called ||the riders boon||

[edgy sail]

Do alliance raids have a lower droprate for tank gear?

I've done maybe 10 in total and I haven't had a single tank drop

Am I just unlucky?

[leaden ginkgo]

It's all just luck yeah

[tender ice]

Are aetherpool weapons easier to get than relics?

Or less grindy should I say

[gritty oracle]

Depends on which relic (the HW one is pretty non-grindy) and what groups you get for POTD, but I'd say yes. From my hazy memories, you get around 3-4 to each stat during a 10-floor run, so you only need to do 10 runs for a complete weapon. That being said, you might wanna stock up on aetherpool first. The nice thing about potd is that you can combine it with leveling alt jobs.

[tender ice]

Ah okay, cheers

If you're looking for video guides WeskAlber on YouTube is pretty helpful as well. EDIT* For rotations and skill use.

[vital ruin]

Why does it say required duty not completed when I try to join shinryu ex unsync party

[wintry chasm]

They have their settings so only people who beat it can join

[vital ruin]

Oof

[polar hound]

^^ look for blue text, orange is usually a hard requirement such as [Loot] [Duty Complete]

[vital ruin]

oke

Duty complete in orange means he/she completed it once?

[polar hound]

it means that is a requirement, you must have it completed once yeah

typically farm parties are this way

[vital ruin]

o I c

[polar hound]

alternatively, you can throw your own party up in PF..Shinryu isn't current expansion content so you can prolly get enough for it, especially with a first time bonus to offer

[vital ruin]

I c. I'll do it when dog farming

[edgy sail]

Sorry to return to this, but do you have an estimate for how long each relic quest is?

[rugged shoal]

Do you unlock the new jobs once you reach heavensward or when you fnish it?

[oak ice]

You can get DRK, MCH and AST the second you get to HW

[rugged shoal]

Bet ty!

[cosmic swift]

Hello everyone
I want to give an update to my problem.
So, I can finally play the free trial.
I want to thank everyone who helped me here and to those who texted me privately to helped me. Thank you!

If anyone's wondering, I registered on Singapore region using Firefox Incognito on mobile

[gritty oracle]

ARR can take like a week with like 12h+ grinding each day, but it's very burnout inducing. HW first one takes time directly depending on how many poetics you're willing to spend, usually in the weeks ballpark because of repeatable quests. 2+ ones, if stocked up properly, can take in the ballparks of one afternoon because there's lots of hand-ins you can stock up. SB one no idea, you just gotta do eureka fully, probably like multiple weeks. ShB one currently about a week or two, depending on how much you're willing to grind on the alliance raids.

[edgy sail]

Oh jeez, I was expecting them to be something you'd do in a few days

I'd better get started soon then

[crystal bluff]

I you really nolife the ShB ones you can probably get it done in like 5 or so days
Assuming you already have DR unlocked in bozja

[gritty oracle]

Is prae okay xp without roulette?

[spiral ridge]

It's great xp with roulette, especially if you're doing something on the side (my go to is eating during the cutscenes)

[oak ice]

Prae is shit exp without roulette

[spiral ridge]

Oh, I misread that x)

Yeah, it's shit without

[polar hound]

it's a level cap dungeon/raid w.e for the end of expansion so the mobs you kill give really low exp. same ideology with 50/60/70/80 dungeons

[clever ether]

WOOOW I can summon my chocobo and have it fight by my side ❤️

[tidal yarrow]

any tip on how to upgrade gear fast in potd?

im locked to lower floors cause of bad gear

[glossy flare]

wdym, gear has no impact on potd

[gritty oracle]

Go again and again and again and look for silver chests.

[glossy flare]

it's all aetherflow

[tidal yarrow]

if i spam 1-10 is fine? because it has the fastest queue

[gritty oracle]

I'm not sure what the aetherpool droprate is in 1-10, I typically run 50-60 because I run it for the xp

[tidal yarrow]

i don't have access to 50 cause of gear

and what's aetherflow?

[glossy flare]

Sorry I meant aetherpool

Aetherflow is the SMN resource

[tidal yarrow]

i don't get what it has to do with it :o

[glossy flare]

Well the gear you put on your character has no impact on your stats in potd, only your aetherpool level has

the stuff you can find in silver chests

[tidal yarrow]

oh with gear i meant that "armor +24 weap +18"

[glossy flare]

yeah, that's aetherpool

[tidal yarrow]

i can only have 2 runs at the same time?

[glossy flare]

only 2 save slots, yeah

[shrewd mirage]

Theres just 4 parts of Alexander savage right?

[oak ice]

Every fight has a savage version

[shrewd mirage]

Do you know where the quest to unlock those are ?

[leaden ginkgo]

Is the only option to get diremite webs to kill things?

[tidal yarrow]

is there a guide for mudra?

ive been leveling ninja in pots and im very overwhelmed by it now

cause i'm level 35 but 70 in potd

[honest anvil]

Is the only option to get diremite webs to kill things?
@leaden ginkgo use retainer venture

[modest igloo]

Mor Dhoa, blue quest

[honest anvil]

Kill things yourself is most often not a solution for items

[leaden ginkgo]

How many will I get if I send the retainer once

[honest anvil]

depends on your retainer’s stats

But 5 6 is the norm iirc

[modest igloo]

Wesk abler on YouTube

[honest anvil]

or you can straight up buy from mb

low level items shouldnt cost too much

[leaden ginkgo]

What about a level 80 retainer

How many will she procure in one venture

[honest anvil]

someone told me long ago max yield for hunting ventures is 10

[leaden ginkgo]

How long will it take to go on a venture and come back

[honest anvil]

normal takes 1 hour, faster if doing low level ventures

[leaden ginkgo]

Hmm.

What are all the advantages of a max level retainer

[honest anvil]

more venture options

able to equip higher ilevel gears

[leaden ginkgo]

What is their max level?

[honest anvil]

80

[leaden ginkgo]

Okay

[honest anvil]

!faq retainerbp

[zinc orbit]

What are the current retainer breakpoints for max yield?

BTN/MIN: 2083 Gathering.
FSH: 1628 Gathering.
DoW/DoM: Item Level 428.

[leaden ginkgo]

Looking to buy a retainer boost in mogstation

[honest anvil]

gear them according to that

[shrewd mirage]

what is the armoire for? at the inn room

[shrewd mirage]

thanks!

[glossy flare]

Some specific gear pieces can be stored in there to then be used on glamour plates

[shrewd mirage]

oh i se thanks!

[leaden ginkgo]

Can we micromanage our retainer through the companion app on our phone?

[glossy flare]

Only stuff related to the MB... I think

Not 100% sure

[leaden ginkgo]

Hm

1 hour venture is kinda tough on time yknow

Wish we could send her to ventures when we’re doing something else

[storm sapphire]

is there a way to increase reputation from realm reborn beast tribe quests? I'm only getting 10 reputation per quest for amalja

[heavy wadi]

you can't :x

[storm sapphire]

heck

[heavy wadi]

they increase a bit when you increase in reputation rank, but not by all too much

[hallow sparrow]

So when we do for example craftingleve would i get exp on other jobs aswell when i turn the items in?
