heavy wadi
#

no, just the job that crafted the item

hallow sparrow
#

And the quality also increase the exp and payment we get when delivered right?

heavy wadi
#

iirc if you turn in an hq item it'll double the reward, yeah

hallow sparrow
#

whats iirc ?

warped nest
#

If I recall/remember correctly

hallow sparrow
#

ty

sullen lark
#

So uhhh.. my camera is shifted so that my character is higher than halfway of my screen

#

Is there a button or option that messes with the position of the camera?

flat yew
#

Is there any use for the SCH sleep thing?

tender ice
#

Do the Deep Dungeon weapons have names?

#

Like Relics are called Anima, Eureka etc

storm sapphire
#

The PoTD are called Padjali

shut panther
#

heavy wadi
#

rose oak
#

The action button that u have spam is that keybindable

nova umbra
#

so whenever I go gather darksteel, there are tons of people, but whenever I go gather spruce there is like no one... why is that o.o;

glossy flare
#

If so: By default it's just any button

glossy flare

Just spam space the next time it comes up

#

Unless you rebound that in any way ofc

rose oak

my poor mouse

rose oak
#

My mouse was like "I'm fighting for my life here "

velvet walrus
#

heavy wadi
#

wintry chasm
storm sapphire
wintry chasm
#

More than just that tbf

hallow sparrow

wintry chasm

hqlight icon

carmine goblet

wintry chasm

eternal orchid

leaden ginkgo
#

When do you switch tanks in ||shiva||EX?

strange coral
#

When she changes weapon iirc

#

One tank for sword, the other for staff

leaden ginkgo
#

Thank you

gritty oracle
#

Is it safe to enter pagos at lv24 or should I wait until 25?

tender ice
#

Does 5.3 end the Shadowbringers storyline?

strange coral
#

Yes

tender ice
#

ty

velvet walrus
#

5.3 is amazing though so enjoy it while you can ๐Ÿ˜„

tender ice
#

Just finished the trial and the cutscene after, amazing stuff.

warm snow
#

Similar to how 3.3 ended hw with the ||nidhogg|| fight

warped nest
#

Now, what you need to do is

#

Go to YouTube

warm snow
#

Ew will be an exception as it'll all be wrapped up in 6.0

warped nest
#

And see people ugly cry their way through 5.3 cutscene

warm snow
#

My Boi ||seto||

warped nest
#

Not necessarily

tender ice
#

Oh yeah i need to see peoples reaction haha

warm snow
#

No they confirmed that

velvet walrus
#

i cant remember how i reacted to 5.3 personally

warped nest
#

Oh, is it? Interesting

velvet walrus
#

but i probably ugly cried aswell

warped nest
#

Mine is "if this is how it ends, then so be it"

warm snow
#

Because ew is the end of the ||hydaelyn zodiark arc|| its being wrapped up in 6.0

warped nest
#

It is that satisfying for me

rain heart
#

is normal i play since 1 month but that stay at 0 ?

warm snow
#

Yes

#

I think

#

Can't read french

heavy wadi
#

it doesn't tick over to 1 month until you've played exactly one month

warm snow
#

What's the 0 for?

rain heart
#

required day for gift

#

game time is 14

warm snow
#

Yes that goes off your paid sub

velvet walrus
#

^^

rain heart
#

i have 14 game time

warm snow
#

So the first free month you get for buying the game doesn't count towards those rewards

rain heart
#

i have a sub i paid with all dlc

warm snow
#

Have you bought additional time yet?

rain heart
#

Nop

warm snow
#

There you go

rain heart
#

only the month i have

warm snow
#

You're still on the "free month" from buying the base game

#

Loyalty rewards come from actually buying subs

rain heart
#

Huh Okay

warped nest
#

The gifted month

#

Is not paid subscription

thin comet
#

hello. how do i get soaring for hidden gorge?

#

felt like at times i get high..sometimes really low lol

faint flare
#

Kills and assists, its also spread throughout your party iirc in rival wings

magic light
#

for living shadow, are all it's attacks aoe?

thin comet
#

ah okay

faint flare
rain heart
#

glossy flare
#

">>>" does work, but you need to put a space after it

#

">" for single line quotes

leaden ginkgo
#

Is there a guide or generally accepted best way to grind Fragments of Awakening in Bozja?

heavy wadi
gritty oracle
#

Is there a guide on bunnies? Just entered Pagos.

hallow sparrow
#

how the hell im supposed to get now from The black shroud to La Noscea?

heavy wadi
#

take an airship?

lone canyon
#

Is Zodiac or Atma weapon good if I am already level 78?

heavy wadi
#

no, they're just for looks

strange coral
lone canyon
#

Then what blue or purple name item should I build for endgame? Since I am already reaching it.

hallow sparrow
#

its so complicated, first they sent me to new area then give me quest go further even to another town

lone canyon
#

And what would you recommend if I cap a class? Should I switch to another and continue my story?

leaden ginkgo
#

Is there a dyeable version of BLUโ€™s AF gear?

#

Any of the 3 sets

strange coral
lone canyon
#

I just completed Heavenwards, I am doing Alexander now

heavy wadi
#

you're not near the endgame at all then, you need to do msq to unlock it

strange coral
strange coral
#

And although not technically AF I think, the Mask of Azuro is dyeable too

thin comet
#

errr where is the lv62 custom delivery npc? is it in kurenai lol

#

kugane*

heavy wadi
#

rhalgrs, iirc

thin comet
#

i've already done the questline few weeks ago. forgot where the npc is xD

strange coral
#

Ruby Sea, at the Kojin place

thin comet
#

thanks!

#

ahhhh that place. thank you

Thanks

scarlet beacon
#

hey guys im level 56 with all ironworks gear but im dying to level 52's in the heavensward msq line. any advice to get better gear?

blissful tulip
#

I sent my squadron on one priority mission and now all of the others are grayed out. Is it only one per week, or?

heavy wadi
heavy oracle
#

Hey, 5.5 wont have a new weapon stage. Correct?

heavy wadi
#

and by all do you mean all? aka, including ironworks rings and stuff?

scarlet beacon
#

yes my gear is repaired

heavy wadi
#

5.5 will have a new weapon stage, but not a new doh/dol relic stage

scarlet beacon
#

im a ninja if that counts for anything

heavy oracle
#

What about the armor?

scarlet beacon
#

yeah i have it all

raven sage
#

Is this just out in the world or during solo instances?

scarlet beacon
#

msq line by myself for heavensward

raven sage
#

That didn't answer my question

scarlet beacon
#

oh sorry out in the world

#

not where you have to proceed for a mission with a level cap

raven sage
#

Ok are you picking fights with too many?

#

You can use your chocobo to help heal you up if you haven't been doing that

scarlet beacon
#

well i have to fight my way deeper into the hive and theres alot of enemies so im fighting like 3 at a time

raven sage
#

Ah there

#

Yeah that always hurts

scarlet beacon
#

but theres random mobs that get dragged over

raven sage
#

I can tell you nothing is wrong with your gear at least

#

Just gotta pick them off carefully or get someone to help you

scarlet beacon
#

ok awesome

strange coral
#

Are you making use of stealth? Or are they spotting you anyway?

scarlet beacon
#

yeah its tough

strange coral
#

(or whatever it's called on ninja)

scarlet beacon
#

there spotting me anyways cause i have to go in the purple ring to start it and they always find there way over

raven sage
#

Yeah it basically plops you in the middle of enemies

#

Then gives you real ones you fight

scarlet beacon
#

exactly

strange coral
#

The only thing I can recommend is to try to clear out the ones nearby before running in to the ring. Use your ranged attack to pull them from a distance if needed instead of running up to them.

#

Also have your chocobo out to help you fight

hallow sparrow
#

Is there no item like get to lvl 80 from shop?

strange coral
#

Only to 70 currently

#

After Endwalker release it will likely be changed to 80 since 90 will be the new level cap

hallow sparrow
#

When is that to happen?

strange coral
#

In the Fall, we don't have an exact date yet

hallow sparrow
#

Oke ty

runic temple
#

if i buy shadowbringers can i make a samurai immediately

strange coral
#

You need to have a level 50 job before you can

runic temple
#

ok and when i get it do i start at lvl 1?

strange coral
#

No, it starts at 50

runic temple
#

oh nice

#

ok

lilac mulch
#

how do i solo potd?

winged fossil
#

Hi guys. When you dye something, can you just select the one dye, or is there a way to dye the highlights/trims etc that I am not picking up on. Thank you!

strange coral
strange coral
winged fossil
#

Ah cool, okay thank you. And you know in the the multicoloured tab where the metallics are, why are there two dyes listed there, one under the other?

clever willow
#

One's the ingame version from retainer ventures, the other is a mogstation item.

#

Does anyone know if macroing blue mage spells (Specifically Eruption/Feather Rain) is different than the normal ground targetted macro for like salted earth? I tried just replacing salted earth in that macro with eruption but the icon doesn't change and the macro does nothing?

winged fossil
#

Ah got it. Okay, bought some from mog and just wanted to check I didn't have to combine them or something. So it's pretty simple! Ta guys, if you're on Faerie, watch our for one seriously glamorous pussboi

#

(Once I've fucken dyed everything and glam plated it aka gone into the void of the glamour dresser for seventeen hours. I will debut just in tie for Endwalker)

strange coral
lilac mulch
#

another potd question, how do i upgrade the gear?

strange coral
#

You get aetherpool upgrades at random from silver chests

clever willow
#

Ah that worked, thanks

scarlet arrow
#

the more you upgrade your gear the deeper into POTD you have to go to get decent upgrade chances

hallow sparrow
#

Can we change race?

strange coral
#

With a fantasia potion, yes

hallow sparrow
#

Where we get that potion from?

strange coral
#

You get one for free by completing the Ultimate Weapon MSQ. Otherwise you have to buy one from the mogstation

hallow sparrow
#

Oooh ty

nova umbra
#

is the only thing you can do in the diadem just Blessed Harvest II?

#

since it seems like pick clean doesn't work

strange coral
#

Right, pick clean won't work when the HQ chance is already 0

#

I pretty much only use Blessed Harvest II and cordials myself

#

Bountiful Harvest II works from what I remember, but it only applies to one gather attempt and could throw off your count from being divisible by 5, leaving you with extras that can't be inspected/approved.

twilit arch
#

bountiful and blessed stack

gritty oracle
umbral hollow
#

hey guys why I can enter ff14 without a sub and not been trial?

strange coral
twilit arch
#

yes @gritty oracle

gritty oracle
#

ty!

twilit arch
#

Are you at the correct place in moraby?

#

then you're at the wrong place

#

ferry to wolves' den is at moraby drydocks, lower la noscea

midnight lion
#

typically diadem nodes have 5 chances, so if you use blessed harvest (to get 3 per pick) it's not too horrible

#

ah discord

rose oak
#

Any tips for leveling botanist from 1

west spruce
#

at your lv aside from gear then not really

twin delta
#

alright thanks

earnest wraith
#

don't waste on gear. poetic gear and dungeon gear are already enough

scarlet arrow
#

you honestly don't need gil for much

shy sundial
#

What's everyone's most fun tank these days?

heavy wadi
#

very subjective question, but I enjoy gnb and drk the most these days

scarlet arrow
#

try them all yourself and make an informed decision ๐Ÿ™‚

heavy wadi
#

^

#

tanks are easy to level these days

remote lintel
#

just get all of them 5head

heavy wadi
glossy flare
#

I happen to like PLD and this offends me

#

but I think WAR is boring

#

As you can see, it's subjective indeed. ๐Ÿ˜„

remote lintel
#

I would say warrior is the most braindead of them

heavy wadi
#

warrior is the easiest yeah

remote lintel
#

but big chainsaw move gives me serotonin

heavy wadi
#

you pretty much cannot die

#

very unga bunga

gritty oracle
#

Does BLU and Loom make the kugane puzzle easier?

strange coral
#

The tower?

raw solstice
#

movement skills aren't teleports, you're just moving quickly from point A to point B along the ground. Since the ground between platforms is actually down below, if you try to loom or do anything similar, you'll fall down

#

so nope, loom won't make it any easier

gritty oracle
#

ah ty!

little swift
#

what will make things easier is swapping between rpwalk and not rpwalk

#

also using strafe jump to get across shorter gaps

gritty oracle
#

aah

#

Is there a list of "interesting" fish to catch? Valuable desynth, looks very pretty etc

frozen wind
#

hey i think it may be a bug

#

but

signal aspen
#

if someone I know got hit with a phishing scam raffle link on PM, and they contacted the Live chat support and got it directed to a data recovery request team and their characters just disappeared from their mog station today like in this image

frozen wind
#

I recently turned level 64

signal aspen
#

is this them working on it?

frozen wind
#

And for some reason, my ruin 2 turnined into Ruin IV and i cant remove it

#

I tried takign it out of the bar and putting ruin 2 back into the spell book

raven sage
#

You received a trait

frozen wind
#

it just returns into ruin 4

signal aspen
#

because it didn't disappear

#

until today

raven sage
#

It allows it to become ruin 4 when you use egi assault 1

#

You don't move or remove it because it's not a permanent state change

frozen wind
#

well it wont let me cast it either

#

unless im under the effects of further ruin it says

gritty oracle
#

Are all firmament fish caught with vers lure?

raven sage
#

Yes that's how it works

#

You only have further ruin when you use egi assault 1 at that level

raven sage
#

Which would change the button to ruin 4

#

Outside of that condition it won't be ruin 4

frozen wind
#

how do I get rid of the ruin 4 button?

#

because it wont let me use it

raven sage
#

Use it and it consumes a stack

twilit arch
#

vers lure should work on all diadem fish yeah @gritty oracle

gritty oracle
#

ty!

raven sage
#

You'll have to be more specific about what you mean by it won't let you use it

#

Does it give you an error message?

frozen wind
#

never mind i got it

#

i think i just misrea dthe tool tip

signal aspen
#

gonna just throw the question again in a shorter way

#

friend got hit with a phishing link, they contacted support live chat, but got their ticket made for a request data recovery team

#

today, they noticed this happened to their characters in the past 4 days they were viewable

#

does this mean that team might be working on this already?

#

they're also still ingame with their stats appearing on search

raven sage
#

I mean the account has definitely been flagged in some way

signal aspen
#

like I said they got hit with a phishing raffle link ingame

raven sage
#

I didn't say otherwise

signal aspen
#

they pretty much brute forced their way pass their 2 factor

raven sage
#

But the account is something they have their attention on now

signal aspen
#

my question is if this is what happens to an account once an invesitigation is finally ongoing?

heavy wadi
#

we really, really don't know, you're just going to need to wait and be patient

raven sage
#

Yeah if they sent in the ticket then no one can tell you yes or no

signal aspen
#

I'm just asking because a lot of people got hit with this and had theirs settled through support

raven sage
#

Only that they'll contact them when they can

signal aspen
#

recently

#

there's bound to be atleast one person here who can reference how long it took them out of recent events

modest igloo
#

not from me, most of us here avoid links like that

signal aspen
#

there's tons of threads of people getting hit with this raffle link because it's basically like the forum link

raven sage
#

I mean if they weren't contacted over the weekend then likely sometime this week

signal aspen
#

minus two things

delicate field
#

does white mage not have any burst instant heals at level 50 and under?

raven sage
#

Because

modest igloo
#

it gets benediction @delicate field

oak ice
#

You have Bene at 50

#

Then lilies at some point level 5x and Tetra at 60

heavy wadi
faint flare
#

Bene is the only ogcd they get 50 and under

delicate field
#

Oh I think i didnt do the level 50 class quest yet, thx guys

heavy wadi
#

just wait and be patient, especially if said friend submitted the ticket on the weekend

raven sage
#

Honestly you could have tried asking the subreddit instead since that's usually where people ask about things like that

tidal yarrow
#

what status is "bind"?

heavy wadi
#

that too

raven sage
#

Might even have an answer in an existing thread already

tidal yarrow
#

talking about the additional effect of hyoton

faint flare
#

Aka fucking useless

tidal yarrow
#

lol

#

what the hell

modest igloo
#

its meant for arr overworld stuff

tidal yarrow
#

oo i see

modest igloo
#

which... doesnt happen much anymore lol

little swift
#

hyoton by and large has no use until lv76

tidal yarrow
#

is there an usual order NIN mudras are kept?

#

in the hotbar

#

i have them Ten chi jin ordered.

little swift
#

most people probably keep it in the order they get them

#

but its personal how you order them anyways

heavy wadi
#

whichever is easiest for you to hit

faint flare
#

Or order them so they can just go 1 2 3 to use suiton

oak ice
#

Ten chi jin is probably the case for 99.9% of all NIN players

tidal yarrow
#

gotcha ty

tender ice
#

What should I do about gear rn? When I unlock a new level 1 class

#

Should I just buy stuff from vendors or just run around naked

faint flare
#

Use your racial starting gear

#

From vendors

delicate field
#

click that button "equip the best items for my class"

tender ice
#

Havent got any items for the class

gritty oracle
#

Does every grade 4 artisanal fish give the same amount of scrips?

delicate field
#

you should have some generic items that cant be desynthed?

twilit arch
#

pretty sure they do @gritty oracle

gritty oracle
#

Also does this chart mean that if you mooch with an ashfish, you get... another ashfish?

delicate field
#

where did you get that screen? I never seen that ingame

raven sage
gritty oracle
#

ff14angler

little swift
#

yes its definitely possible to mooch into the same fish if thats how the chain works

tender ice
#

I assume I should just keep my starting gear for new classes

raven sage
#

Pretty much

gritty oracle
#

Where can I find the list of weather restricted diadem fish? I can't find a decent phase 4 huide anywhere.

twilit arch
gritty oracle
#

ooh thanks!

#

I was really getting a headache from cross-referencing so many guides

delicate field
#

do you enjoy fishing in this game?

hollow raven
#

I have a question about ceremony of eternal bonding if anyone has a second to help me ๐Ÿ˜…

twilit arch
#

i enjoy it, but its one of those things i do when i basically want to chill and not really do anything

oak ice
#

I hate fishing with every fiber of my being, it's 5 layers of RNG to catch certain fish

delicate field
#

@hollow raven the best thing to do is just ask the question instead of asking if you can ask a question

gritty oracle
#

yeah, it's not the most time efficient activity. But it's relaxing as heck

hollow raven
#

@delicate field I just didn't want to interrupt their discussion ;-;

raven sage
#

it's ok to just ask I promise

hollow raven
#

Oke

raven sage
#

There's lots of people here to help

twilit arch
delicate field
#

haha no worries online chatting isn't like having a real life discussion. there can be multiple discussions going at once

hollow raven
#

So I was wondering if one person has the gold package and one person has the free package are you still able to get married or do you both have to have the same version?

twilit arch
#

You can get married, but you'll get the free options

raven sage
#

You'll have the lowest version of the wedding between the two of you

twilit arch
#

the lower version is always chosen

raven sage
#

So if you want the gold, you both need gold

wispy totem
#

Question about Bluemage Tank: I'm assuming I can use Flying Sardine as a lob toss replacement (for instant long range attack to get hate on trash mobs in a dungeon) Is there an instant aoe attack that would replace a circle slash (for getting instant aoe hate that doesn't cost mana)?

hollow raven
#

Oke thank you guys c:

wispy totem
#

I have frog legs, but I don't think it's an instant ability (like flash)

tender ice
#

oh i get EXP boosts for being in a FC?

raven sage
#

If they have it up yes

tender ice
raven sage
#

Yep the left one will give exp boost

tender ice
#

Sweet

raven sage
#

So any time they put that up you get it

tender ice
#

Do you know if it stacks with Road to 70?

raven sage
#

it does

gritty oracle
wispy totem
#

ok

oak ice
gritty oracle
#

yeah primal abilities work too

oak ice
#

When you pulling actually matters, flying sardine won't cut it for aggro, since it's 10 potency

gritty oracle
#

also sardine barely generates and threat since it has a potency of 10

wispy totem
#

hm

faint flare
#

Hydro pull, no instant

#

But

#

Its good

open coral
#

Swiftcast + any of the wide range AoEs also works.

wispy totem
#

that's a good point, I was just wanting to use something to get a pack of mobs attention without using 1 surpanka per trash group

gritty oracle
#

facepulling is faster

wispy totem
#

ok

oak ice
#

Swiftcast White Wind is the single best aggro in the entire game, basically

wispy totem
#

I can see that as long as nobody casts something to pull hate before I can stop and get hate

gritty oracle
#

yeah, but tell your group not to touch mobs

wispy totem
#

k

#

I wish bad breath automatically faced the target. Anyway to make it do that in the settings somewhere?

delicate field
#

casting a healing spell gives you a lot of aggro?

wispy totem
#

For bluemage, I think white wind is super agro

faint flare
#

Using anything generates aggro

wispy totem
#

esp with tank stance

oak ice
#

It's half a point of aggro per HP healed, then boosted by tank stance

delicate field
#

how much aggro does damage generate then?

oak ice
#

If you hit 8 people in a raid at 70, it's about... a lot

delicate field
#

points

faint flare
#

Essentially 1 point

oak ice
#

1 point per damage, boosted by tank stance

delicate field
#

damn yes i can see how WW aggros a lot more lol

oak ice
#

I have around 43k HP at 70, which is 21,5k per target, boosted by tank stance

jagged crow
#

how do I look at my armory chest without stuff being grey'd out?

I need some help with the "soul without life" quest. I have Spoken with Rowena at Revenant's Toll. and with Syndony at Revenant's Toll. Now it says that I shal deliver astral nodule and umbral nodule to Ardashir in Azys Lla. But i'ts a red checkmark on her. What have I missed?

raven sage
#

If you didn't do it already then don't bother with it honestly

#

Just do these fates

crystal gyro
raven sage
#

From who?

remote lintel
#

you need to trade the crystals for the nodes

crystal gyro
#

ohh okay. But if I haven't got any of those is it worth it?

raven sage
#

You need to do them

remote lintel
#

you need to go get them

raven sage
#

The other option is if you already did the arr relic

#

But if you didn't it's not worth the time

#

Grabbing the crystals from fates will take waaaay less time by comparison

#

ok so i made a free trial character on a non-preferred world and i am lvl 38. would it be wise of me to move to a preferred world and start over? to get the exp buff

pseudo ether
#

Can someone recommend a good way to Recruit people for a FC aside from chat spam ? we made a community finder thingy ... there isnt really a list that i can go through of people without a FC and proper language settings right ๐Ÿ˜ฎ ?

delicate field
#

@runic temple yes

wispy totem
#

I just saw a pf group for Aurum Vale (Bluemage) And they required Missile > moon flute > final sting. Can someone explain that rotation? Is missile an attack used on it's own? or is it used in that rotation somehow?

remote lintel
#

no

#

the preferred buff is not required in any way

raven sage
#

You should only start over if you really want the boost

remote lintel
#

and depending on how far you got in the story it may take a while to do everything all over again

delicate field
#

double XP for 3 months is definitely nice, and level 38 is so ez to get to

raven sage
#

Because it's not that significant unless you want to level a bunch of things at once

remote lintel
#

exp buff is only for leveling multiple classes at once really

#

@pseudo ether recruitment channel

pseudo ether
remote lintel
#

then no

#

theres not really any other way

cloud palm
#

Can Viera's where the carbuncle ears from the Mogstation?

remote lintel
#

yes

cloud palm
#

excellent

nova umbra
#

is stabling your chocobo and training/feeding it actually a good source of exp?

winged oyster
#

Do I have to unlock the raids in order? Or can I skip straight to the newest raid?

raven sage
faint flare
#

In order for that raid tier

#

Gotta go through eden one by one

winged oyster
faint flare
winged oyster
remote lintel
#

its not peak hours

faint flare
#

Gotta suck it up

#

Raids are quest chains

twilit arch
#

also people don't have much reason to do copied right now

#

so queues for that are going to be slower in general

rough fossil
#

is there a way to adjust my mouse speed on PS4? I have an external mouse and keyboard Iโ€™m trying out and the mouse track speed is just too slow even with sensitivity cranked up in the in-game settings

strange coral
#

The PS4 itself has mouse settings I think

Ok Iโ€™ll go hunting around

strange coral

Says it has "pointer speed" setting

rough fossil
#

Sweet thanks!

strange coral
#

Otherwise depending on the mouse, you might be able to adjust the DPI with a PC app and save it to the mouse. For example, Logitech gaming mice

rough fossil
#

Iโ€™m in Praetorium right now but Iโ€™m going to fiddle around when I get out

gloomy mortar
#

5.5 has new higher lever crafted gear ? Or just new weekly tome gear

faint flare
#

No

#

There's no more gear

rough fossil
#

I wonder if thereโ€™s a way to adjust the pointer speed when using remote play on an iPad

faint flare
#

Other than nier 520 gear and 525 diamond EX weapons

heavy wadi
#

there's dungeon gear too

faint flare
#

And eventual 535 resistance weapon upgrade

gloomy mortar
#

So Nier 520 and Cryptlurker 520?

faint flare
#

Yes

#

Nier will also drop the last coin to buy Cryptlurker upgrades

gloomy mortar
#

Both weekly limited?

faint flare
#

For non savage raiders

#

Yes nier is weekly

#

For the last one

little swift
#

Yes coin from third raid is weekly

#

But you'll need all three coins to get the upgrade

nova umbra
#

if I want to grind fates in the shb maps for the shared fate stuff, is it better to do it on blue mage?

#

or not worth because level 70 cap?

faint flare
#

Only for lv70 exactly fates

#

Other you'll be too under levelled

honest orchid
#

So I just finished Heavensward! I'm onto the between patch quests. Is it worth trying to upgrade my gear past the level 60 job quest gear? And if so, what gear is there?

faint flare
#

Shire in Idyllshire

#

And ishgard

honest orchid
#

or should I Wait till I hite stormblood

faint flare
#

Its the ironworks lv60 equilivant

#

So get shire

#

Job gear is always the bare minimum

leaden ginkgo
#

does my shit carry over from the free trial to the complete edition

faint flare
#

Yes

honest orchid
#

oh, that's cool that they have that. I have like 1.3k poetics atm

leaden ginkgo
#

poger

faint flare
#

There's always a poetic gear set at the old level caps

remote lintel
#

endgame gear cycles are always the same

honest orchid
#

I see, that's good to know for when I hate 70

#

*hit

faint flare
#

You need to finish stormblood base to access the poetic vendor there...heavensward vendor openes when you hit Idyllshire

#

So you could have gotten shire early

glossy flare
#

What rank do you need in Bozja to start with the laws order steps of the relics?

honest orchid
#

womp womp womp. The job quest gear got me through the heavensward final dungeon and boss pretty easily tbh. Actually they were kind of jokes, but that's probably because everyone else was overgeared

glossy flare
#

thx

faint flare
#

Cause you need to do castrum and continue the story

#

To do Delerum

glossy flare
#

Yeah I thought so

upper dust
#

one question about the "Good Intentions" quest, now I need to do 3 dungeons; The bowl of embers(hard), the navel (Hard), the howling eye(hard)

faint flare
#

Waking sands

upper dust
#

but i can only choose the normal versions

faint flare
#

Starts with a Recurring problem

#

Go there

upper dust
#

how do i get to the hard version of those dungeons?

faint flare
#

Read what i just said

modest igloo
#

by doing the quest

soft flicker
#

is all of the grade 3 skybuilders stuff i have useless?

upper dust
#

not very descriptive

faint flare
#

Go to the waking sands

upper dust
#

i can't do the quest @modest igloo

faint flare
#

Do a Recurring problem

upper dust
#

its locked

faint flare
#

No its not

remote lintel
#

then read what it says

faint flare
#

You can always go back there

lunar breach
#

Is there a site that propperly shows where I cant get x Item from ?

faint flare
#

Go to thr Waking sands

#

Do the qurst chain A Recurring problem

#

Thats the hard mode primal chain

modest igloo
#

if you cant do that, then do more MSQ

upper dust
#

will do that, thanks!

strange coral
faint flare
#

Or the Lodestone as well

lilac mulch
#

is there a good weaver macro out there for lvl 71. returning player having no clue what to start with

slate arrow
tidal yarrow
#

can someone explain me how kassatsu work?

#

and where to use it

#

i don't really get it

faint flare
#

!action Kassatsu

lilac mulch
#

i must be blind cant see that lounge

faint flare
#

You need the role

remote lintel
#

kassatsu lets you use a ninjutsu for free

faint flare
remote lintel
#

and increases dmg

faint flare
#

Use in cooldown with trick

lilac mulch
#

tyvm

tidal yarrow
#

so you use it, then mudra, then ninjutsu?

remote lintel
#

yes

faint flare
#

Yes, its a free mudra use

remote lintel
#

its part of your burst

vernal urchin
#

oh wtf kassatsu increases the damage?

faint flare
#

Yes

tidal yarrow
#

you have one mudra usage every 15 seconds?

faint flare
#

20s

modest igloo
#

at lvl 76 yeha

vernal urchin
#

lmao that's what i get for not reading the tooltip properly

faint flare
#

Maximum 2 charges

modest igloo
#

whats the 1,200 pot attack called?

remote lintel
#

hyosho ranryu

faint flare
#

Ice Shurikens

tidal yarrow
#

like i don't get why you have the limit of 2 charges if there is a 20s cooldown anyway

remote lintel
#

so you cant spam ninjutsu forever

faint flare
#

So you can use two mudras under trick

modest igloo
#

kk thanks

faint flare
#

You can suiton, wait for the charge to almost be off cooldown

#

Then trick

signal aspen
#

just to reference they got their account back within 4 days

#

just now

faint flare
#

And get 2 mudras under trick

signal aspen
#

incase anyone is curious in the future

faint flare
#

Oppose to 1 or none

tidal yarrow
#

oh i see

signal aspen
#

they should live chat or call

tidal yarrow
#

im still level39 and using it in potd so im tryna figure out

faint flare
#

It goes for any ability with a charge system

#

You can save one for burst

tidal yarrow
#

speaking of which, im at floor 90 by now, shouldn't i have all the abilites?

soft flicker
#

is all of the grade 3 skybuilders stuff i have useless?

tidal yarrow
#

or since i am lvl39 outside i don't have them

faint flare
tidal yarrow
#

oo true potd is old content

#

gotcha thank you

faint flare
soft flicker
#

oh okay, the xp is still good?

modest igloo
#

ye

soft flicker
#

oh ok

#

ty ty

signal aspen
#

how long do we have until the patch hits again?

modest igloo
#

april 13th

signal aspen
#

oh okay I can still farm some mgp

#

from the tomes

delicate field
#

what tomes

signal aspen
#

mog

#

they give you mgp tickets

delicate field
#

oh are you going for those expensive mgp mounts?

remote lintel
#

you have like a month

signal aspen
#

well this character is new compared to my old one on Odin

#

so i wanted to stock up for the new casino items

#

we'll be getting as soon as they update it

in the future

slate arrow

Discord overlay seems to break with every patch or so

cursive abyss
#

How do I get this bad boy?

#

Suzaku EX?

remote lintel
#

craft it or buy it

wispy totem
#

Is that a samuria sword?

remote lintel
#

its a drk sword

heavy wadi
#

but the wep is pretty pricey

tidal yarrow
#

do i get anything for reaching floor 100?

faint flare
#

Guaranteed +1 to aetherpool and a potshard iirc

tidal yarrow
#

what's that for?

faint flare
#

Buying stuff from the priestess outside

warm snow
#

Also unlocks the ability to upgrade aether pool arms

tidal yarrow
#

oh there is a merchant?

warm snow
#

Kinda

tidal yarrow
#

im getting some items i guess they're for him

warm snow
#

2 minions, one mount, special potd potions and hw materia

astral fox
#

tem br jogando no cactuar ?

cursive abyss
#

Just a curiosity, why are crafting messages from other people in global chat?

faint flare
#

Cause your filters have it on

#

Chat settings > log filters and you can turn them off

cursive abyss
remote lintel
#

suzaku is usually cheaper than the other ones

#

just world hop

heavy wadi
warm snow
#

You could join into an unsync farming group and hope for the best

#

And/or see how much the suzaku material is?

leaden ginkgo
#

Do you get all the relic weapons replica if you finish a weapon and is eden promise gear gonna be the highest gear till the next dlc or is there gonna be another eden raid series ?

faint flare
#

Yes you can buy replicas as you progress relics

remote lintel
#

this is the last eden tier

faint flare
#

There's no more gear coming

remote lintel
#

theres only 3 tiers

faint flare
#

Outside niers 520 gear

#

And diamond weapon 525 weapon

leaden ginkgo
#

Ok,not even up to it,but just curious.thank you

faint flare
#

And the final step of resistance weapon update to take it to 535

tidal yarrow
#

shadow bats see you even under hide status?

faint flare
#

Most mobs can

#

Especially dungeon mobs

tidal yarrow
#

oo..

glossy flare
#

Ironically you never really use hide to actually... hide

#

Just to reset mudra charges

shy sundial
#

Is Bozjan Front the best way to level from 71-80 now?

tidal yarrow
#

im doing lvl40 jobquest that's why

remote lintel
#

if you can get in a lot of CEs and castrum

final niche
#

is ifrits harpoon the strongest dragoon weapon available on free trial?

remote lintel
#

no

final niche
#

i think free trial level limit is 60

#

o what is the strongest wep?

remote lintel
#

shire

#

well i guess it would be the alex savage weap

shy sundial
remote lintel
#

critical engagements and castrum lacus litore

topaz oxide
#

I have a huge problem

#

Iโ€™m in Siren and i became a rogue last night

#

My home base is in western thanalan though, and i forgot to attune to the artheryte

#

I have no way back to limsa lominsa to continue my class quest

remote lintel
#

take the airship

topaz oxide
#

I canโ€™t

#

I donโ€™t have a pass

glossy flare
#

how did you get to limsa in the first place then?

remote lintel
#

^

faint flare
#

You should if you have done the story

#

To get there

topaz oxide
#

I had one as a gladiator

#

But it wont let me go back now

glossy flare
#

That doesnt matter

heavy wadi
#

you should still have one

glossy flare
#

it's still the same character

topaz oxide
#

Well, I donโ€™t

remote lintel
#

what does it say when you talk to the airship npc

topaz oxide
#

I tried and they said i cant cuz i donโ€™t

faint flare
#

Did you FINISH the envoy quest

topaz oxide
#

No. Becoming a rogue so i can become a ninja was my first priority

glossy flare
#

Then finish the quest

faint flare
#

Then go finish it

winged fossil
#

I have a load of random gordian, alexandrian tat, weird stellaclusters etc, which I don't know what to do with. Any ideas? Likes, loads of random bits and pieces all a bit different to each other because they're not stacking.

faint flare
#

You cant even become ninja

#

Without story

remote lintel
#

theyre for trading for alex gear

winged fossil
#

With the idyllshire lady?

topaz oxide
#

Yeah but

remote lintel
#

yes

topaz oxide
#

I wasnโ€™t doing the rogue story

faint flare
#

You NEED the main story

topaz oxide
#

I was doing the gladiator story. I wanted to be a rogue

faint flare
#

To become ninja

remote lintel
#

to get from uldah to limsa you needed to have done the main story

topaz oxide
#

I know

remote lintel
#

meaning you did the story

heavy wadi
#

job quests =/= main story

faint flare
#

Go finish the envoy quest

topaz oxide
#

Thats how i got there

glossy flare
#

Job quests and main story quests are two different things

faint flare
#

Main scenario is the top priority

pseudo quartz
#

You can do multiple questlines and jobs at once?

faint flare
#

Yes

heavy wadi
#

yes

winged fossil
#

Does the stuf available get any higher ilvl? I have such random rewards, I can buy like glove for a warior, and a shoe for a WHM etc

faint flare
#

Why wouldn't you be able

pseudo quartz
#

Oh, I meant that as a sentence

remote lintel
#

@winged fossil available from what

winged fossil
#

From the idyllshire lady for the alexandrian/gordian junk

remote lintel
#

yes

#

they go up in tiers

#

thats how the endgame raids work

pseudo quartz
#

What I mean is, the gladiator and rogue thing shouldn't stop you, although if you don't have rogue at 15 yet you might need to switch back to finish the envoy quest

winged fossil
#

Ok. So I should hold onto it all, becuase there's such a variety it's filling up all my inv spaces. I will just put it in retainer for now because nothing currently on offer is remotly up to my scaeven augmented. Thank you, @remote lintel

remote lintel
#

only if you want glam

glossy flare
#

It's not really worth it tbh

#

Not for the actual gear anyway

remote lintel
#

shire gear is better than everything you can get from alex normal

pseudo quartz
#

Take a peek if you want any of the gear for glams

#

But that's about it

winged fossil
#

Ah ok, yeah good idea.

#

I spent a whole day sorting out my glams finally and I am so happy. If anyone wants a fashion show, lemme know. lightdance

final niche
#

oo, i can get augemnted shire halberd from rowena?

dawn tide
#

Leveling my first character. Should I be leveling crafting while i level up?

faint flare
#

Its optional

#

Crafting and gathering is a completely different game

remote lintel
#

if youre going to level crafters you should level them all together

heavy wadi
#

I'd highly suggest leaving gathering and crafting until later

#

like, max level later

dawn tide
#

nice, thanks

strange coral
final niche
#

nice ty

#

it seems to be the strongest for free trial ppl

glossy flare
#

It isn't

final niche
#

o

remote lintel
#

i just said the alex savage weapons are the strongest

faint flare
#

Second but its the easiest to get

glossy flare
#

But compared to the actual strongest one it is far easier to get

heavy wadi
#

savage alexander are strongest

strange coral
#

It isn't, but it's up there, and super easy to get

final niche
#

o nice thanks, ill go for that first then

remote lintel
#

good luck with that

final niche
#

the alex ones look to be available later in game from where i am at

glossy flare
#

Honestly there is no reason to get the alex savage weapon

#

(unless it's for glam)

remote lintel
#

you need to have beaten HW and all of the alex normal raids

final niche
#

yeee that sounds long haha

heavy wadi
#

not really

remote lintel
#

and find a bunch of lvl 80s willing to carry you since nobody does it on level

pseudo quartz
#

In free trial your limited mechanics options would probably make actually getting a group tricky too

final niche
#

yep, so i guess shire is the way to go until i get the full subscription

#

thanks guys ๐Ÿ˜„

remote lintel
#

i mean if you get the full game then theres no point to getting alex savage weapons

#

for gear

vestal needle
#

is diamond weapon going to drop a weapon?

remote lintel
#

the EX will

vestal needle
#

is it also going to be 520?

#

or maybe 525?

obsidian patio
#

Most likely 525

vestal needle
#

noice thanks

frozen wind
#

Ive been wondering

olive totem
#

How to move party B and C gauge out of my screen?

frozen wind
#

Ive been using kiting as a way to compensate for my lack of mitigations during big pulls at level 44

#

but ive also heard people tell me to never kite as well

#

Should I not kite in this game?

heavy wadi
#

don't kite

olive totem
#

Like the bar is just sitting in the middle like ๐Ÿ‘๐Ÿ‘„๐Ÿ‘

modest igloo
heavy wadi
#

keep things in one place or you'll fuck up the rotation of dps

frozen wind
#

Gotcha, ive been trying to give my healer time to get in that big heal so I felt like kiting is working but good to know

heavy wadi
#

killing things quickly is the best form of mitigation

frozen wind
#

would it still be okay to run when you're dropping dangerously low?

#

I usually run around in small circles

little swift
#

kiting has very little effect in this game as attack ranges are usually larger than the distance you put between you and the mobs

#

this is why sprinting in pulls works because you can actually have the speed to outrun it

#

does have 0 effect to kite? no

#

but the benefit is super marginal in comparison to the effort

#

also melees will struggle if you're moving very erratically

frozen wind
#

kind of wish that wasnt the case, I feel like WoWs dungeon mechanics and kiting there is so much better ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

little swift
#

even in small concentric circles you're not really doing yourself any favours

faint flare
#

I rather not have mobs moving fucking everywhere trying to aoe then

frozen wind
#

gotcha I know to keep this in mind for future dungeons

#

but man does that suck

heavy wadi
#

healers can generally keep you covered

frozen wind
#

so I guess for now just do sub largish pulls instead of big pulls

modest igloo
#

remember, this ain't wow

faint flare
#

Just use defensive cooldowns

#

And you can wall pull

#

Provided your healer isn't a fucking monkey

frozen wind
#

I usually like to move a little bit so it gives the healer time to get of ftheir cast

#

by this is when im sitting at like 164 hp

faint flare
#

Thats literally doing nothing

frozen wind
#

andd then i just start high tailing it behind

faint flare
#

Once a mob has started to attack you, its going through

frozen wind
#

before moving back in

strange coral
#

Even just making the mobs turn is annoying for melee dps who have positionals

heavy wadi
#

it does nothing

#

it just annoys dps

faint flare
#

Once a mob has started to auto you, you literally cant dodge it

heavy wadi
#

and your healer too, probably, because they can't tell if you're pulling more or what you're doing

faint flare
#

Even if you were pulled miles awau

heavy wadi
#

don't tank in ffxiv like it's wow

#

please

faint flare
#

Pick one spot and plant your ass

remote lintel
#

tanks only move to get out of aoes and do mechs

#

otherwise stay still

#

or the melee dps will hate you

frozen wind
#

Uhhhh

#

I dont know how we can help you here

heavy wadi
#

this isn't something we can help with

#

this sounds like fc drama

remote lintel
#

also censor names if youre going to talk about them negatively

frozen wind
#

Meanwhile I dont even have a FC

#

I dont even know how to join one ๐Ÿคฃ

open ember
#

What bird

glossy flare
#

Well ignoring the fc drama I am assuming you mean your Chocobo

open ember
#

Bird mount farming or chocobo

remote lintel
#

you have to be invited to fcs

glossy flare
#

If so, there's an NPC at the entrance to any housing area to get it bag

frozen wind
#

I couldnt find a guild invite board so I just kind of sat around

remote lintel
#

there is no board

twilit arch
#

iirc its the resident caretaker

remote lintel
#

you have to be specifically invited

twilit arch
#

that you talk to to get any housing items back

glossy flare
#

^

frozen wind
#

is there any place i can check to see what guilds are looking for people and what they focus toward

glossy flare
#

Something like that, yeah

remote lintel
#

!faq communityfinder

zinc orbitBOT
remote lintel
#

and recruitment channel

frozen wind
#

what is Admantoise (Aether)

#

and some with just "Aether"

remote lintel
#

the world and data center

frozen wind
#

so I woudl just look for Gilgamish Aether?

glossy flare
#

If that is your homeworld, yes

remote lintel
#

yes you need to look on your home world

#

you cant join fcs on other worlds

frozen wind
#

D:

#

ahhh well thats good to know

signal aspen
#

Quick question, does primal have an equivalent of Gilgamish on its Data center?

glossy flare
#

What do you mean by equivalent?

signal aspen
#

were you around when FFXIV first launched?

#

I'm pretty sure Gilgamesh was one of the more hardcore progression servers at that time

obsidian patio
#

If you mean a โ€œraiding serverโ€ then probably Excalibur.

signal aspen
#

oh okay

#

yea that's what I meant

obsidian patio
#

But individual server niches arenโ€™t really a thing anymore

signal aspen
#

so I'm guessing those servers didn't retain what it had

#

during ARR and HW?

remote lintel
#

it doesnt matter because you can make a static across the entire data center

hallow sparrow
#

So how many leve is there allowed ?

obsidian patio
#

Cross world PF and world visit meshed the world niches together for the most part

obsidian patio
hallow sparrow
#

Ooh thats why i had 10 leve then

#

So how much per 12h is it?

obsidian patio
#

3 allowances every 12 hours

hallow sparrow
#

And they stack no matter what?

#

Even if im offline?

obsidian patio

Correct.

#

Up to the maximum of 100 stored allowances

#

Wrong NPC, you need one of the ones near all those vendors to the south

Can i somehow buy items for crafting leves and turn em in?

obsidian patio
#

Yes.

hallow sparrow
#

I never found the market

#

What icon does market have?

vernal urchin
#

Marketboards usually have a sort of signboard icon

cursive abyss
#

Queing for Seiryu

obsidian patio
#

It looks like a board with papers on it.

spare plinth
obsidian patio
#

Yes.

Oke ty

cursive abyss
#

How to do Group Instances by Yourself or Without Enough People

In your duty finder window select the โš™๏ธ icon on the top left to open up the duty finder settings window.
Inside that window select the setting undersized party before confirming and entering the instances of your choice. NOTE: UNSYNC-ING AN INSTANCE WILL FORFEIT ALL OF YOUR EXP AND COMPLETION REWARDS. Poetics from a first time completion bonus and loots chests remain the same and will not be lost. You may not queue for daily roulettes using this method.

So if im going to level another class i will have to complete story again?

glossy flare
#

No

atomic forge
#

So, I think I need a new main job - one without an "upkeep" skill. The problem I'm having is that it's difficult to tell what jobs have upkeep skills from their skill list alone.

hallow sparrow
#

No?

gritty oracle
#

You just have to do your class's storyline, which is unique

hallow sparrow
#

Aaah

glossy flare
delicate field
#

@atomic forge can you define an "upkeep" skill?

hallow sparrow
#

Wow nice

cursive abyss
#

How do I initiate a ready check, as well?

faint flare
#

/Readycheck

delicate field
#

do you mean like maintaining a DoT on enemy?

atomic forge
glossy flare
#

There's also an action for it you can assign to your hotbar

atomic forge
#

That is what I mean by an upkeep skill

faint flare
#

Self buffs

atomic forge
#

I think it's self buffs that have shortish durations. Some folks call it "spinning plates".

#

I don't mind black mage self buffs

glossy flare
#

Ah, so you mean some kind of buff that has to be maintained 100% of the time. Well, for what it's worth it does get very easy for NIN to maintain

atomic forge
#

the one where you go from Astral Fire to Umbral Ice.

glossy flare
#

It's just an alternative combo finisher that extends it

#

Which you use once in a while

little swift
#

huton is an upkeep buff though

glossy flare
#

But until you have that I agree it is annoying

little swift
#

both armor crush and hakke mujinsatsu upkeep it

glossy flare
#

Anyway, if you wanna avoid jobs that have similar mechanics only DRG and DRK come to mind immediately

#

maybe BRD with all the songs though that's kinda different

obsidian patio
#

Ehh I donโ€™t think I would count Dragoon since itโ€™s part of their main combos

glossy flare
#

fair

heavy wadi
#

also mnk

atomic forge
#

Ya mnk has that speed buff right?

glossy flare
#

If you mean greased lightning then not anymore

atomic forge
#

that they have to keep spinning

glossy flare
#

That's just a passive now

faint flare
#

Not anymore

#

But they have twin snakes

#

!action Twin snakes

#

This thing

atomic forge
#

Other than Astral Fire / Umbral Ice, does BLM have any upkeep?

faint flare
#

When kupo wakes up

#

Enochain

atomic forge
#

For some reason that one doesn't bother me.

faint flare
#

But thsts kept up by keeping stances

#

So

atomic forge
#

I think it doesn't bother me because it's core to the mechanic of the class.

glossy flare
#

tbh most stuff that has to be kept up 100% of time kinda comes naturally without much effort

#

same for NIN as was mentioned

#

eventually at least

atomic forge
#

I don't agree with the NIN thing mainly because you have to use a Mudra to start it (even with the 52 ability)

heavy wadi
#

i'll be honest

#

it's gonna be hard to avoid that sort of thing

glossy flare
#

You put Huton on yourself pre pull and then use hide to reset the mudra charges

vernal urchin
#

MCH doesn't really have much upkeep other than making sure Drill goes out every 20 seconds

glossy flare
#

Then you just go into the fight with all charges and a running huton

#

Which is then maintained by just doing your rotation

#

You never actually use the Ninjutus "Huton" again

#

(unless you drop it ofc)

atomic forge
#

Ya idk, it's sucking the fun out of NIN for me.

glossy flare
#

well fair enough

atomic forge
#

I just groan when I have to watch that lotus timer.

glossy flare
#

could try SAM if you wanna go for another melee dps

#

doesn't really have a mechanic like that

atomic forge
#

nah, doesn't need to be melee dps.

#

I was even thinking AST

#

Does RDM have anything like that?

glossy flare
#

Well sure, AST is a fun and busy healer

faint flare
#

Not really

heavy wadi
#

ast has uptime in the form of cards

glossy flare
#

No, RDM mainly revolves around building black and white many equally

faint flare
#

They just build gauge and then spend it in their melee combo

obsidian patio
#

RDM has resource management instead of buff tracking

atomic forge
#

yeah, I find resource management to be fun.

delicate field
#

with AST you need to cycle all 3 different cards to cast a DPS buff

atomic forge
#

buff tracking is...ugh

delicate field
#

and every 30 seconds you gotta use a card to max dps your team

glossy flare
#

Well again, most jobs will have some buff windows you need to be aware of

atomic forge
#

Help me find ones that don't ๐Ÿ™‚

#

lol

glossy flare
#

Well RDM is fine I guess? I don't really play it regularly but iirc it just has one party buff

#

Which you time right once and then use on cd

#

So that's fine I assume

faint flare
#

Every job has a burst phase of points...just case of how frequent a job enters it

glossy flare
#

I will say RDM is pretty easy imho

#

Nothing that feels complicated

atomic forge
#

I like complicated ๐Ÿ™‚

glossy flare
#

Well if you like a long and "complex" rotation try SMN

atomic forge
#

I just don't like things that feel like busy work. I might be explaining myself poorly.

glossy flare
#

Complex in airquotes because it fits together very logically once you wrap your head around it

atomic forge
#

Hmm, might try that. It's pretty popular.

glossy flare
#

Be aware that it feels kinda slow until 60 or so

#

But hey, most jobs do

atomic forge
#

Aint that the truth?

#

I honestly thought the game was trash until I realized that.

#

Not used to having 50 levels of gameplay before you get to the core mechanic.

faint flare
#

And you dont get the fun And tortuous stuff until 70

glossy flare
#

Yeah, the fun Bahamut summon is a long way off from the start

#

but man does it feel cool

kind eagle
#

Mana visit elemental?

faint flare
#

Then you realise bahamut is just a lost puppy who wont sit still

obsidian patio
#

Cross datacenter visiting is not in yet @kind eagle

5.6?

faint flare

5.45

glossy flare

5.4

open ember

5.5 in a few weeks

remote lintel
#

there is no .6 patch

atomic forge
#

Ya know what kind of job theme FFXIV is missing? Trances. Like Terra from FFVI.

faint flare
#

6.0 is in fall

kind eagle
#

Oh

remote lintel
#

the patches only go up to .55

atomic forge
#

Maybe the new melee dps will be a Trancer.

faint flare
#

Well summoner has trances
