questions-and-help

[faint flare]

Who dont fuck up

And wipe on mechanics you should know

[leaden ginkgo]

Hm

[faint flare]

Only slight distinction of jobs is Summoner/bard in Alexander, cause half the fight is two targets so they have higher dps on average

But later half is vs 1 target so it balances out

[glossy flare]

If there's one thing that is just stellar in this game it's the balance of the jobs among each other

[leaden ginkgo]

Guys
The current mog event rewards
Can be exchanged in the future right?

[glossy flare]

Course you got highs and lows but none are useless or completely overpowering

[open coral]

@leaden ginkgo No

[faint flare]

Only for a brief time after the event ends

So spend the tomes before the event ends

Or just after

[open coral]

You can't exchange the current event tomes for future event tomes though, if that's what you're asking.

[leaden ginkgo]

So tomes are time-exclusive?

[open coral]

Yes

Moogle tomes are.

[faint flare]

Each has used a different tome

[leaden ginkgo]

Damn

[open coral]

They're event currency.

They're not like real tomestone where outdated tomestones have a limited time exchange period for more recent tomestone (or poetics at the end of an expansion)

[leaden ginkgo]

is it allowed to ask about mods?
and if so is there a mod that replaces the naming of spells to more classic FF style?
as in, replace, Fire II with Fira, etc?

[open coral]

Fire II isn't equivalent to Fira.

[heavy wadi]

xivmodarchive is the go-to place for mods, so look there

[flat yew]

Is there any use for Esuna?

[heavy wadi]

some debuffs can be cured with it

[faint flare]

Yes

[pseudo quartz]

Yes, of course

[faint flare]

Remove cleanable debuffs

They have white lines to show it

Some are mandatory to cleanse

[pseudo quartz]

It depends on the fight of course, but please don't forget you have esuna

[leaden ginkgo]

alright, thanks

[flat yew]

every time I tried to use it it was apparently on an un-curable debuff then haha

[faint flare]

.

Those are cleansable debuffs

[open coral]

Also if a target has multiple cleansable debuffs, it will pick one at random to clear.

[flat yew]

ohh

that is very useful to know

thanks!

[open coral]

For example, if your target was hit by a Morbol's Bad Breath attack, that puts something like 7 cleansable debuffs on them, so you'd have to cast Esuna 7 times to clear them all.

[faint flare]

Aint nobody got time for that

[open coral]

Truth

[pseudo quartz]

I'll admit in free trial I hovered over most of the dark knights buffs because all of them looked like possible poison icons to me at first😅

[open coral]

It was just an example though. 😄

[flat yew]

just rightclick the debuffs and remove them like a mount

[devout lichen]

I kinda forgot to answer, I was using it on sephirot and the knockback was still pushing me around

[faint flare]

Yeah that one specifically cant be anti kded

As i said, rare few expections here and there

[open coral]

The Sephirot one is a primary mechanic, not a standard knockback.

[devout lichen]

oh

[frigid pelican]

main stats for whm?

[faint flare]

Mind > piety to comfort > crit > dh/det > sps

[frigid pelican]

ty

[warm snow]

You can't meld mind but it's your main stat

[frigid pelican]

ye

[dawn tide]

Peloton and Sprint both increase move speed. Are they the same amount? Is one faster? They don't say.

[faint flare]

Sprint is faster and overrides everything

They dont stack

[dawn tide]

is there a stat or some tangible thing i con look at and go "oh, this is better"

[pseudo quartz]

Sprint also works in water which isn't really important but eh

[faint flare]

No

People just time it

There's an old speed test video out there

[warm snow]

Sprint has a cool down, peloton basically doesn't. Sprint can be used in combat, peloton can't

[dawn tide]

yeah all that's listed in the tooltip

[tranquil bone]

any one doing The_Resistance_Remembers quest bored doing it my self 😦

[leaden ginkgo]

L

[wispy totem]

Is there anyway to turn off pop up notifications when I'm not inside a game?

cause it's annoying to see a popup from discord when I'm trying to do something in a browser

[twin delta]

why cant i gain xp? any help would be appreciated

[faint flare]

You dont own the expansions

[warped nest]

Free trial

Or that

[faint flare]

You're capped at 60

[twin delta]

ok so what about main quests

[faint flare]

They end post Heavensward

[warped nest]

You can still do them

The exp just floats away

[faint flare]

They stop at the start of stormblood

And xp goes poof

[twin delta]

ooooo

okay okay thank you

so im not losing any xp here im guessing

[leaden ginkgo]

Not if you do another class?

[faint flare]

You're losing all xp currently

[vernal urchin]

bozja blue coins arent used for anything other than getting gold coins, right?

[faint flare]

Yee

[vernal urchin]

cool

[twin delta]

i see, thank you

[open ember]

If you read under the exp there's an "X"

Means you capped out on free trial

[leaden ginkgo]

What is the importance of culinarian ?

[faint flare]

Raid food

[leaden ginkgo]

Like at higher levels?

[open ember]

Crafting food

[faint flare]

Food is basically mandatory

For savage and up

And food is good in general

Free stats for everyone

[open ember]

People use Culinarian for the coffee biscuit leve to make big bucks

But its mostly raid food

[faint flare]

And high end crafter/gather food to craft/gather high end mats for saif receipes

[flat yew]

not worth maxing first though. that's what I did and I got bottlenecked hard by the fact that I didn't have the coffee biscuit leve unlocked lmao

[faint flare]

They dont own the expansions

[open ember]

Wait

I'm dumb

I forgot

They have the starter edition

[faint flare]

yes you are

[open ember]

LOL

I have my dumb brain moments please

[glossy flare]

I dunno, maybe you are crazy

kidding, it does say that

[open ember]

Nah it says that

[faint flare]

You own startee edition

Just not the expansions

Thus you're level capped

[glossy flare]

Yeah what Vinyl says

also nice hat

[summer dirge]

I recently found out you can visit other servers without having to do a full data transfer. I wanted to go to exodus to play with some mates, but it wasn’t on the list. Can you only visit worlds with a low population?

[faint flare]

No

[open ember]

Exodus is on Primal

[devout lichen]

should you not use lb1 in dungeons? because I have never had a boss fight last long enough where it reached lb2 in regular dungeons

[faint flare]

Only worlds on your data centre

[open ember]

Youre on Crystal according to roles

[faint flare]

Crystal can only visit other crystal data centres

[open ember]

You need to be in Primal to visit them

[summer dirge]

Ah. That makes much more sense.

[remote lintel]

@devout lichen use the lb as soon as it maxes

[faint flare]

Tbh always just LB when its available in dungeons

[glossy flare]

In low level dungeons it sometimes doesn't get to lb2 so do use lb1 before the boss dies

No reason to waste it

[faint flare]

If there's a caster/range then let them use it on trash

Otherwise use on the second boss

[devout lichen]

cuz I had 2 people get upset at me and told me to stop wasting lb and that I should wait for 2

[faint flare]

They're stupid

You can build 2 LB1s in thr whole dungeon

Vs NOT FUCKING USING IT

[open ember]

Don't you lose lb by the time you enter a boss

And it resets

[pseudo quartz]

Yeah, honestly if it gets used I don't care, as someone who is normally WHM and avoids it in dungeons

[open ember]

I remember alliance raids doing that

[faint flare]

It feels like barely anyone has lb on their bar these days

[open ember]

I might be wrong

[faint flare]

24mans reset gauge

[glossy flare]

To be fair, the game should put limit break on your bar when unlocking a new job

[pseudo quartz]

I have it on a shared hotbar at the top of my screen right now with other random thing like teleport and chocobos

[glossy flare]

I kept forgetting to do that

[flat yew]

is The Ladder in Kholusia story-gated?

[devout lichen]

I might have been wrong to say there is never time but I havent seen a case yet

[glossy flare]

yup

[open ember]

Yes it is

[flat yew]

Tomra too, then?

[open ember]

That's the only way to get to thr top

Is the ladder

[wispy totem]

anyone else just get kicked from ff14?

[pseudo quartz]

Oh it's the antitower too, the last time I was there like every miniboss had skipped phases

[glossy flare]

Excluding flying but that requires story as well

[open ember]

Tomra is unlocked around lv78-79

[faint flare]

You can only build lb2 on the last boss

[flat yew]

ah damn

[faint flare]

But depending on dps you can kill it before it finishes building

[pseudo quartz]

Getting angry about lbs there is a little silly

[shut panther]

tbh if you get lb2 in a 4 man means something has gone horrifically wrong

[faint flare]

Aka poor dps

[pseudo quartz]

Or in general in dungeons imo

[flat yew]

can't even do the coffee biscuit leve

[shut panther]

regardless, the most efficient use of limit break in all dungeons

is aoeing a trash pack

and if you don't have a ranged dps, use lb1 as soon as it's available on a boss

[wispy totem]

Is FF14 down? Then game just lost connection

[shut panther]

I'm fine on exodus

[glossy flare]

isn't for me

[devout lichen]

I never see anyone else use lbs and I dont wanna tell people what to do as a sprout so I just use it on the boss

[faint flare]

There's a dumb stupid stigma for lb in dungeons to use it as the final hit on the last boss

[glossy flare]

Well in dungeons the rule of thumb is: Just use it

[faint flare]

Which is dumb and stupid and needs to stop

[open ember]

Because I'm pretty sure people don't use lb in dunegons because they either forget or are in denial of when to appropriately use lb

[shut panther]

if you're melee and your ranged dps hasn't been smart enough to use it on trash just go ahead and slam that button

and if you're playing rdm, and it's an alliance raid, and you see that lb bar hit 3

drop everything

and hit that

[open ember]

The only classes I don't personally have lb on hotbar is for healer and tank because it is very situational

[shut panther]

immediately

[open ember]

If you're not using lb as a dps you're either prolonging the dunegon run or you forgot it exists lol

[shut panther]

honestly in a normal raid too. memeing everyone's vision is the most important tech

[faint flare]

Hey people not using LB means its SAFETY DOOR timr

[open ember]

Lmaooo

[devout lichen]

so when should I use lb1 as melee outside of last boss

[faint flare]

Second boss

[shut panther]

on any boss when it's up

[faint flare]

It builds then

[tender ice]

Should I just be spamming AOE as a tank in big hordes of enemies?

[shut panther]

yes

[faint flare]

Obviously ues

[remote lintel]

yes

[open ember]

Caster and ranged lb are far better on trash

[gloomy mortar]

Yes

[remote lintel]

you should be spamming aoe at 2+ enemies

[faint flare]

Tank aoe combos are more damage on 2+

[shut panther]

and yes, playing tank in lower level instances is incredibly mindless, to answer the question that probably follows that

[open ember]

Also tank aoe lets you maintain aggro

Consistently

[shut panther]

the only exception to this is if you're playing warrior get storms' eye up first

[tender ice]

ye ty

just making sure

[gloomy mortar]

What is storms eye

[faint flare]

Warriors damage buff

Self damage buff

[open ember]

!action Storm's Eye

[shut panther]

warrior 10% damage buff at.. 38?

[zinc orbit]

**Storm's Eye** : lvl 50 MRD WAR (2.5 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

[leaden ginkgo]

What are these birds called in norvrandt called?

[open ember]

Thank god

Amaro

[leaden ginkgo]

Why don’t we have them as mounts

[shut panther]

we do

[open ember]

You can get one

[shut panther]

hit 80 on all jobs

[leaden ginkgo]

How

[remote lintel]

because ||they dont exist on the source||

[open ember]

But if you get all classes at 80

Battle classes

[leaden ginkgo]

I have a life dude

[shut panther]

then perish

[remote lintel]

its not hard to get all jobs to 80

[leaden ginkgo]

It’s time consuming

[open ember]

!mount amaro

[zinc orbit]

Amaro (1 Seats)

Of all the mounts seen in Norvrandt, naught is more ubiquitous than the amaro. Originally created by the mages of ancient Ronka, who selectively bred the flightless cama, present-day beasts carry the seed of their ancestors, which may manifest in the form of superior intellect.

Obtained From

A Life Of Adventure IV (Achievement)

Powered by https://ffxivcollect.com/

[remote lintel]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

then dont get an amaro mount

[leaden ginkgo]

But they’re as frequent as chocobos in the first

Why so high requirement

[remote lintel]

because thats the first and this is the source

[open ember]

Amaro mount will likely be replaced with another achievement by 6.0 for all battle classes to 90

Because in Stormblood it was a crown

This expac its a mount

[leaden ginkgo]

Will the mount disappear then?

[open ember]

Probably

[remote lintel]

no

it didnt disappear in sb did it

[open ember]

Oh I thought it did

[remote lintel]

[faint flare]

No still there

I think

Probably

No reason for it to go

[open ember]

Anyway its not hard to level classes up. Just takes time and dedication

Not impossible at all

Now I have a question. Is it worth it to upgrade the lost finds holster or not

[faint flare]

If you're doing savage yeah

Its +10

[open ember]

3 Garlean fabrics right

[faint flare]

Ye

[open ember]

Ok thanks c:

[faint flare]

Its kinda nice in general to carry more actions

For when your DRs are super trash

Or just wanna abuse action swap resets

[open ember]

i wish I could equip more than 2 actions on duty action hotbar

[untold mulch]

Hey kinda new here and i gotta ask something. Just recently started FF14 and free trial is almost over, so i've been looking into the subs but it's kinda confusing to me, if someone can explain it to me?

So like in this image it says 13 bucks a month at entry tier, but right underneath is a standard tier sub which is also 13 bucks but each 6 months? like what?

then there's this which contradicts it

[remote lintel]

no

youre buying 6 months up front and it would amount to 13$ a month

so it would still be like 77$

[untold mulch]

yea 78$

[faint flare]

Its the standard bundling/bulk buying discount

[untold mulch]

because i was digging deeper and i read this article which kinda then made me confused

[gloomy mortar]

Are there any sales for mogstation glam items coming up?

[remote lintel]

its exactly what it says on the chart

30/90/180 days

[faint flare]

Yeah that's just normal bulk buying standard

[remote lintel]

1 month/3 months/6 months

[faint flare]

You pay more upfront

But on a month per month bases its cheaper

[remote lintel]

@gloomy mortar theyre not announced in advance

[untold mulch]

why don't they just say upfront like "oh, you have to pay this much for this amount of time"

[faint flare]

They assume people can do maths or something

Who knows

[little swift]

please stop using the reaction needlessly thank you 🙃 you know who you are

[coral trench]

what class do you people tend to play when learning a fight
[5:41 PM]
other than the cocaine huffing maniacs who first time BLM in all content
[5:41 PM]

[remote lintel]

whatever youre comfortable with

[faint flare]

Whatever your main job is

[untold mulch]

so for 6 months it's 78$
for 3 months 42$
1 month: 15$

[remote lintel]

yes

[untold mulch]

and then from there it's stacking up

[faint flare]

For the upfront cost yes

[remote lintel]

for standard

[coral trench]

i don't have a full job quite yet

[untold mulch]

i intended to go standard anyways if i were to buy FF14

[coral trench]

I like BLM a lot

I did dragoon first but I did arcanist and ninja a bit too

[faint flare]

If you're comfortable with a job then you know the tools it has access to to deal with mechanics

[remote lintel]

theres not much reason to have more than 1 character

[faint flare]

Take Sfia, he's a fucking GOD tier black mahe

[coral trench]

yeah the thing is black mage is semi-unique

[faint flare]

And progs fights on ot

[coral trench]

they themself don't have much to get used to

but

[faint flare]

Cause he knows the jobnso well

[coral trench]

they need to know a fight

[little swift]

they don't

[remote lintel]

not necessarily

[faint flare]

It helps

[little swift]

not any more than any other job

[faint flare]

But dont havr too

[coral trench]

I need to know where to plant my feet

[faint flare]

Again. Learn what tools you have access to

[little swift]

thats part of how prog works

[remote lintel]

they just need to know how to use theiir movement kit well

[coral trench]

I'm still at no movement land

[dawn tide]

what yall think about dancer?

[little swift]

black mage isn't any more or less valuable in learning fights

[remote lintel]

dnc is one of the easiest classes imo

[faint flare]

Black mage has alot of movement tools, so you just keep some ready

[modest igloo]

its good

[untold mulch]

honestly i'm just looking at standard tier because i always try to look for subscriptions where i can just pay once a long time and be done with it, like how most subscriptions is available to pay once a year.

[coral trench]

@dawn tide easiest dps in the game to be half decent with but getting 2 in a party isn't that great

[remote lintel]

unless youre going to be playing for a majority of those 6 months then its not really worth it

[coral trench]

dancers REALLY want to be paired with a high damage other dps

sam and black mage are the main ones

[untold mulch]

what do you mean?

[coral trench]

a dancer pumping up a black mage more than makes up for the lower dps of the dancer

[remote lintel]

you would be paying for more than you need

[untold mulch]

oh ok

[coral trench]

this game doesn't discount if you do multiple months

anyways

I like black mage

[remote lintel]

yes it does

[coral trench]

it's just intimidating

I looked and it didn't seem to

[little swift]

!faq subprice

[zinc orbit]

Subscription Prices

Image URL: https://i.imgur.com/iPm8PE2.png

[untold mulch]

meh to be honest i'm just really not into subbed games much, i'd consider FF14 a good exception because it is fun, but then it's things like these which make me just say "welp, nevermind. Guess i'll go play another game"

[coral trench]

oh i know why I said what I said

it's because entry isn't tiered

tbh entry is all you need

Standard is largely pointless until FF14 is all you play and/or you want to have multiple races on the same server

[faint flare]

Tbh there's not much reason to be on standard anyway

[coral trench]

@untold mulch do entry and do it by the month.

Yoshida himself is VERY clear he likes his game is be "play till you're bored then take a break until you want more"

this game isn't wow

it's not holding you hostage

[untold mulch]

yea i'm aware i'm aware, but it just kinda sucks that you have to pay more just to have the privilege to play. And while 13$ a month doesn't sound a lot, it's like 156$ a year. I always calculate things by the year.

"oh you no give money, go away"

[leaden ginkgo]

Knowing how big this game is

[remote lintel]

thats how sub games work yes

[leaden ginkgo]

It leaves a smile on my face

[coral trench]

well the sub is cheap here

[leaden ginkgo]

I love getting overwhelmed

[coral trench]

and you're paying in part for community

my advice is extremely simple

if you're not already payed

[faint flare]

Plus you dont have to Sub every month

[coral trench]

just do free trail until endwalker

get jobs to 60

[faint flare]

Yoshi encourages people taking breaks

[coral trench]

yes there's 2 sides to it

on one side, yoshi seems to sincerely want people to do other stuff if they like

on the other

Sqaure has multiple games they publish and making the game have inherent "end points/you've had enough for now" so it's actually better for them finacially to let go of the reigns

[honest orchid]

imo the game provides enough content and updates to justify the subscription model, unless you're a no-lifer and rush through all the content

[faint flare]

Like too many of us

[little swift]

Refrain from shitposting in this channel too much thanks 🙃

[untold mulch]

it's just 1 image

[leaden ginkgo]

Hey man . If you don’t think the sub is worth it you do you

[little swift]

And?

[leaden ginkgo]

Your money your choice

It’s totally justifiable is what we’re trying to say

[modest igloo]

every other channel is fine, but we want to keep it easy to read

[leaden ginkgo]

Essay incoming

[untold mulch]

yea i'm aware i'm aware, and I do appreciate the help given but i think i'll just step out. Because it just feels like money wasted, with normal games you at least still have the full game out of it, whereas subbed games give you as much fun as you can provide it and then lose access to it entirely when you stop. oh you have this much time left, oh you have this much time left then boom a month passes by without having played it and boom, that's 13 euros down the drain.

Still thanks for the help you guys gave me 👍

hope y'all have a good day 👋

[pseudo quartz]

I'm trying out AST a little bit, and if the cards are 'tank and physical' and 'ranged and healer' can I just always be safe putting it on physical ranged until I figure stuff out?

Or is there something obvious I'm missing

[modest igloo]

understandable have a good day

[remote lintel]

blue border = melee

purple border = ranged

[modest igloo]

its melee and ranged

[open coral]

The cards give a bigger buff to the correct types of classes.

If you put a ranged card on a melee character, they're not going to benefit as much as a ranged player would.

And vice versa.

!action the balance

[zinc orbit]

**the Balance** : lvl 30 AST (1.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Increases damage dealt by a party member or self by 6% if target is melee DPS or tank, or 3% for all other roles.

[pseudo quartz]

Ah, gotcha. Read it wrong then

[little swift]

Always play cards to the correct role type

[open coral]

So you can see this one, for example. "Increases damage dealt by a party member or self by 6% if target is melee dps or tank, or 3% for all other roles."

[tranquil bone]

but having fun

[little swift]

@tranquil bone if there is no question please take your reactions to #general-discussion

[tranquil bone]

ok

[open coral]

Basically, all cards are half as effective when used on the wrong type of classes.

[tender ice]

Are Trials in Leveling roulette?

[frozen salmon]

Is there anything in specific I should be spending my Tomestone of Poetics on to help me later on?

[glossy flare]

nope

[tender ice]

why tf am i in a trial lol

[remote lintel]

some are

[open coral]

Ifrit, Garuda, and Titan normal are. The others have their own.

Yeah im on Ifrit

Ah well, I always forget those

There is a separate trial roulette anyway

[frozen salmon]

Is the 20 Item level worth it? I'm level 54 right now and I heard you can use them on level 60 gear

I just don't have access to buying 60 gear right now

[open coral]

Yes, it's worth it.

[remote lintel]

you can use them on all level cap gear

poetics are for old endgame gear

[faint flare]

Very much worth it

[open coral]

Poetics are dead easy to farm. There's no reason not to use them.

[faint flare]

Any ilvl gain is majority of the time

You gear for youe story level

Not job

Your level means nothing

[open coral]

You won't have access to the level 60 gear until level 57 MSQ anyways.

[frozen salmon]

Kk

Ty for the help

[plush jackal]

Do poetics reset on the 23rd?

[glossy flare]

Is Rook Overdrive (Queen Overdrive) worth using manually under buff? Aka is that a scenario where it's actually worth using instead of just letting the thing run its course?

[open coral]

No

[remote lintel]

poetics never reset

[plush jackal]

Ohhh

I saw some countdown and wasn't sure

[delicate field]

does Vercure scale with int or mind?

[remote lintel]

thats for the weekly reset for revelation tomes

[open coral]

^

[plush jackal]

Oh! Got it

Tyty

[warm snow]

Int but it's still not a huge heal

[remote lintel]

@delicate field int

[delicate field]

so if a healer casts a 350 potency heal with say 300 mind, and a rdm casts vercure 350 potency with 300 int will it be the same number?

[remote lintel]

no

pot isnt 1:1 across classes

[glossy flare]

The potency and stat scaling is different for each class

[delicate field]

oh ok i see

[remote lintel]

and it can be affected by many other things like crit, det, etc

[little swift]

Healing as red mage isn't something you do regularly anyways

[warm snow]

Outside of potd and panicking when the healer dies

[faint flare]

Its a decent ultra last resort heal

[open coral]

Vercure is really just for like, self spot heals so your healer has a chance to res someone.

[little swift]

Vercure is mostly for proccing dualcast in downtime

[faint flare]

Or for proccing dualcast in downtime

[warm snow]

and to match classic ff lore

[gritty oracle]

My pagos kettle is at 4 crystals. What should I do with it?

[faint flare]

Need to go to the forge to extract them

[delicate field]

cool thx guys, makes more sense on the purpose of vercure now

[faint flare]

Of you want them as an item

[little swift]

Keep going or trade them in now its up to you

You need a lot more than 4 though

[faint flare]

Can only store 9 in the kettle

[gritty oracle]

Where do I trade it in? From my very vague memories Gerolt has no clue where the forge is but "I'll know when I see it".

[cloud palm]

Alright, so how do I start another relic weapon? I have the one for my PLD but I quickly realized I don't want to really work on the relic for my PLD but instead I'd rather use those Memories on my SMN. But it will only let me progress with my PLD. Am I just stuck with PLD for now?

[faint flare]

Its abit roundabout how you get there

[gritty oracle]

ShB?

[faint flare]

Abandon the quest

[cloud palm]

Yes

[faint flare]

Then take it on smn

[cloud palm]

Also thank you

[glossy flare]

Asking again because channel was busy at the time:

Is Rook Overdrive (Queen Overdrive) worth using manually under buff? Aka is that a scenario where it's actually worth using instead of just letting the thing run its course?

[cloud palm]

I have it on SMN but it wouldn't let me progress with it past getting the initial one. I don't know why I didn't think to abandon.

[remote lintel]

when the boss is about to go away

[faint flare]

Overdrive is for when bosses are about to go away

[little swift]

typically let it do its own thing

[glossy flare]

Well yeah i knew about that use case

Was just wondering if buff windows might make it worth to actually use the increased potency

[faint flare]

Its typically summoned under raid buffs anywau so you're already getting its buffed hits

[glossy flare]

Fair

[faint flare]

If you time it well it automatically does it

[lethal mist]

Are the maps you get with Irregular Tomestones (new event tomestones) also just housing things?

[faint flare]

They're mount speed increases

Ground mount speed

[remote lintel]

riding maps are for mount speed on land

[faint flare]

Aka worthless

[glossy flare]

So they are not worth it because flying is faster

And easier to unlock

[remote lintel]

if it was a housing thing it would say so on the tooltip

[lethal mist]

Huh, so having flight means I can skip those?

[glossy flare]

Yes

[faint flare]

Yes

[remote lintel]

basically

[faint flare]

Flying is max speed

So

[lethal mist]

Ok I'll focus on the mounts themselves forst anyway.

I still onyl have like 3

[open ember]

Pretty sure flying maps were more relevant for ARR content back when it wasn't fly-able now they're useless

[pseudo quartz]

I considered getting one for the lochs because that was the one I was laziest getting the aether currents on so far

[lethal mist]

Basicalyl doing Praetorium over and over is the fastest way to get these as it gives 10 Tomes?

[faint flare]

No

[remote lintel]

no

[faint flare]

Blue mage aurum vale

[open coral]

No

[faint flare]

Or pvp

[remote lintel]

farm aurum vale on blu or rival wings

[open ember]

Its get more tomes but it takes the LONGEST

[pseudo quartz]

Aurum Vale as a blur mage, then pvp

[open ember]

Aurum Vale and PVP are faster

[lethal mist]

Do I need to be blue mage for it? Why this restriction?

[pseudo quartz]

Prae does have downtime if you want to literally do other things.

[faint flare]

Blue mage destroys aurum vale

[remote lintel]

because a full blu party can clear in like 2 minutes

[faint flare]

In 4mins

[open coral]

You don't have to be BLU, BLU is just OP.

[faint flare]

Maximum

People usually do 3 blues and a tank

[pseudo quartz]

Blue mage abilities aren't balanced to normal gameplay, by design

[open ember]

Hence why it is a limited job

[lethal mist]

Ah I see. Well, given how they're OP, even if I'm not blue mage there are bound to be other BLU wanting do join so I guess I could get it done relativelty fast.

[faint flare]

They just insta death the first two bosses then blow up the last boss

[open coral]

BLU can only use the PF

[faint flare]

And insta kill trash with Ultravibration

[pseudo quartz]

I should really start up blue mage stuff soon, I was avoiding it because of the whole limited thing

[open ember]

If everyone in that party has rams + ultra the mobs die immediately

[faint flare]

Blue is probably my favourite content

[pseudo quartz]

But it always sounds like fun

[open coral]

You can't get BLU queued in through DF

[faint flare]

If only it was more accessible

[lethal mist]

Can I make a blue mage at any time? I just cleared Crystal Tower and back on the MSQ track

[faint flare]

Yes

[remote lintel]

yes

[faint flare]

After finishing 2.0 it opens

[pseudo quartz]

And levelling it seems like a pain

[open coral]

Speak to the Zealous Yellowjacket near the Limsa Aetheryte

[faint flare]

Nah

Like 2 hours

[remote lintel]

you can max blu in like 30 mins with a friend

[faint flare]

Or whatever

[lethal mist]

I kinda don't want yet tho, as I wanted to finish one job first. But I'll start it at least just like the others

[pseudo quartz]

Oh, like get someone to kill mobs for you or something?

[lethal mist]

Wait you can max it that fast holyt shit

[remote lintel]

yes

[faint flare]

Just tag mobs in Khlosuia with sardine

[open coral]

BLU is the only job in the game where grinding is the optimal leveling method.

[faint flare]

Then 80 murders them

Blue gets vastly higher overworld xp

[pseudo quartz]

Huh, maybe once I get to ShB I will then

[faint flare]

Than normal mobs

[lethal mist]

Well shit, let's unlock it then!

[faint flare]

To account for not being able to que for dungeons easily

[pseudo quartz]

I got as far as getting thousand needles on free trial then stopped

[remote lintel]

youll need another person to kill things for you

[faint flare]

Just grab flying Sardine to tag mobs

And a 80 friend

Then hit up the khlosuia beach

Be done in an hour

[remote lintel]

its getting the spells that are a pain

[pseudo quartz]

Might wait until I actually reach ShB to touch blue mage anyways because I do wanna catch up on msq

[faint flare]

Just need sync runs

[pseudo quartz]

And there isn't too much in the tomestone list I really want

[remote lintel]

the earrings

[pseudo quartz]

I got the Ala Mhigo mount on my first run there, and already bought the earring and Falcon

So I'm sorta coasting now.

Also I've been getting the Ivalice Alliance Raids every day in roulette which has helped. Still no wind up Ramza, sadly.

[robust crow]

are there any penalties for dodging an instance other than the 30 minute wait time

does it increase if you excessively dodge

[open coral]

It doesn't increase.

But you'll get it every time.

Also if you fail to accept a queue three times in a day you'll get a penalty and not be able to queue for awhile as well.

[robust crow]

so theoretically speaking i can literally just dodge a dungeon like 10 times in a day and nothing will happen

[open coral]

Aside from wasting your time, no.

[flat yew]

does it matter what i specialize in first as a crafter? can i use one of those souls on CUL or would that be a waste?

[open coral]

Do them all at the same time.

[faint flare]

You can swap

[open coral]

It's more efficient that way.

[faint flare]

3 times a week

[flat yew]

ah

[open coral]

Oh, souls.

[faint flare]

Its primarily just a stat buff

[flat yew]

ye, souls

[remote lintel]

some recipes require specializations iirc

[flat yew]

sorry for not making that clear haha

[faint flare]

There's a few rare specialist receipes

[flat yew]

hrm, how do I even get the soul for CUL?

I got 3 of those blank ones

[faint flare]

You give given it by the specialist guy

Outside/near the astro guild

Like between the astro guild and that port there

[flat yew]

ohh, I have to talk to them again

[faint flare]

Yeah him again

Hr deals with it

[shut panther]

I don't think cul has any specialty recipes

[flat yew]

saw that I got an ability from that quest too so I assumed I'd use that to specialize

I still get some bonuses to my stats at least haha

[shut panther]

True

[faint flare]

Its primarily just a small stat boost

The cp is nice

[flat yew]

much needed considering I'm only using lvl 70 gear

[lethal mist]

Ok unlocked BLU, now if I find a friend to help me level, does it matter where exactly? Also, do I not need to learn all enemy skills first?

Also I've never changed jobs before (wanted to max DRG first) but how exactly does it work? Simply change that crystal you're holding?

[remote lintel]

equip the weapon

[faint flare]

Equip the weapon

[remote lintel]

and save your drg gear to a set

[faint flare]

Also make gear sets for easier swapping

[lethal mist]

Yeah I made a set for DRG so I can easily switch back, but the weapon is enough?

[faint flare]

Thats how swapping works

[lethal mist]

Oh wow it transformed, cool

[faint flare]

Its determined by thw weapon

[lethal mist]

So any job I've unlocked I simply change to taht jobs weapon type?

Holy shit this game is so well made.

[faint flare]

Gear sets re equip all your gear again

[glossy flare]

^ way better to set up gear sets for all the jobs

can even assign them to your hotbar for easy switching

[lethal mist]

The tooltip mentioned how stats don't really matter except Intelligence will make me do more damage. I guess focus on that attribute only in gear?

[faint flare]

Int has a much greater effect

[glossy flare]

Well stats do matter but until you hit 80 ilvl trumps everything

[faint flare]

Than other jobs

Substats matter slightly but all blue weapons have no stats

[glossy flare]

oh wait... blu

[remote lintel]

for blu the other stats dont do much but int has a much greater effect

[faint flare]

So int has a greater efficiency

[lethal mist]

Ok so what's this fast way of leveling people mentioned? I might have a friend or two willing to help out but unsure where to go or if they know how.

[leaden ginkgo]

How to get the omega mount?

[faint flare]

Highest level zone you can access

[faint flare]

Omega 12 savage

[leaden ginkgo]

I have a doubt regarding the loot

[faint flare]

You ideally want to kill lv70 mobs to level fastest

The mount always drops

[leaden ginkgo]

So only one out of 8 people gets the mount?

[faint flare]

Per run

Its rolled

[leaden ginkgo]

That’s a lot of rng

[lethal mist]

My DRG is 63, so I can't access any lvl 70 places can I?

[faint flare]

Not really. A far few have it

So just clear it a few times, takes a few minutes each

[glossy flare]

There may be people willing to unsync it with you for whatever reason that doesnt involve the mount

So you can just take it

[leaden ginkgo]

I mean why would anyone run in again once they’ve got it? So that always means mostly new people

[faint flare]

Glamour

[glossy flare]

^

[faint flare]

Blue mage gear

[final niche]

are there ways to unlock different hairstyles?

[leaden ginkgo]

Hm

[faint flare]

Yes multiple

You get the mount in omega 3.0 or 4.0?

[faint flare]

4

[remote lintel]

o12s

[leaden ginkgo]

Human omega

[faint flare]

Alphascape 4

There's a extra boss

[rugged shoal]

not doing your rotations properly means you lose in a significant amount of dmg as a summoner right?

[faint flare]

Yep

[remote lintel]

yes

[rugged shoal]

big oof

[faint flare]

Cause all your damage is in your demis

[open coral]

That's true for most dps classes too.

[remote lintel]

it goes for any class

[heavy wadi]

yeah every single class

there's no freestyling

[rugged shoal]

i see

time to stick to heals

LMAO

[heavy wadi]

even healers have rotations and need to dps so

[open coral]

No freestyle for healing either.

[rugged shoal]

I know that but i mess up alot on rotations as summoner cuz theres a lot to keep track of

[heavy wadi]

just need practice

[open coral]

There are other classes with more forgiving rotations too...

[heavy wadi]

it took me a good hour ish in front of a dummy to get the rotation down

[open coral]

SMN has one of the more complex rotations just in terms of number of actions per cycle.

[faint flare]

Just need to break down each section of the cycle

[lethal mist]

Btw did I understand the BLU right? I have to at least be targeted by an enemy to learn it's spell? He said I didn't have to get hit, but be the target of. Not sure how blue magic works in this one. haven't gotten that far yet either.

[open coral]

Correct.

You have to "see" them cast the spell.

[heavy wadi]

there will be a big "action learned" thing when it works

[open coral]

Which, practically speaking, means you need to be in combat with it.

[lethal mist]

So how would that work in poor little me entering the "highest level place I can" to have people kill things for me? I assume I simply don't learn anything while getting carried and then once I am high enough I start chasing spells?

[open coral]

Don't start out in the high level places.

You won't learn spells from most enemies anyways. There are specific enemies that you can learn specific spells from.

https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Blue_Mage_Spells_Learning_Guide

[lethal mist]

Are they indicated in any way or should I look up a guide?

Oh nvm 😉

[open coral]

😄

The BLU spellbook will list a zone where the spell can be learned, but not the name or specific enemy.

What I typically do when leveling BLU is go around collecting low level spells until I can reasonably get Flying Sardine (spell #24) from the level 30 Apkallu mobs near Costa del Sol.

[lethal mist]

I see. I already thought I'd sort the guide by "rank" so I can get the easier ones first, but maybe I should sort by "level" or something instead.

[open coral]

Sort by world mob level

[lethal mist]

Oh right

Btw, is it like other FF games where even if you die, you at least learn the spell? (X-2 comes to mind)

[open coral]

No

You must be alive to learn a spell.

[lethal mist]

I see

[leaden ginkgo]

Do permanently banned characters show up on the lodestones character search?

[open coral]

Probably not?

[leaden ginkgo]

Not a useful answer

[open coral]

But unfortunately probably as useful of an answer as anyone here can provide.

[lethal mist]

Ok thanks, I'll try learning a few spells until I can get the Flying Sardine you mentioned and also look for someone to help me level fast and get plenty of those new Tomestones.

On that note, any hint of when the new patch comes? Cause afaik this event is only available until it drops. Could be any day?

[open coral]

5.5 will be on April 13

[lethal mist]

Oh shit I gotta hurry!

[open coral]

You've got 3 weeks.

Just under

[lethal mist]

Yeah but it's not "free" 3 weeks. Got other things too xD

[open coral]

No, exactly 3 weeks. It's actually Tuesday.

[lethal mist]

I'm so glad they let you fly on mounts even as you restart jobs with lvl 1. This game has very few flaws, if any tbh. I for one can't really find any but I'm no veteran anyway. Nothing I don't like so far at least.

[open coral]

The housing system is a flaw in many peoples' minds.

[remote lintel]

^

thats why i have an apartment B)

[glossy flare]

Because you didnt get a house

[open coral]

But for the most part, yes. XIV is an extraordinarily well-created and maintained game.

[glossy flare]

admit it

[lethal mist]

I just recently unlocked The Goblet, which I assume is part of that housing thing? Or at least Free Company buildings? No idea tho as I didn't try going further. Was mainly finishing the quest.

[glossy flare]

It is one housing area, yes

[heavy wadi]

goblet is a housing area yeah

[remote lintel]

i didnt want to feel the constant pressure of having to enter a house or else have it deleted

[heavy wadi]

you can go in and look at ppl's houses

[glossy flare]

I completely agree, the limited space of housing is completely destroying the atmosphere of what it's supposed to be

Anyway, going off topic I guess

[lethal mist]

So I'm killing Chigoe's to hopefully learn Blood Drain. Is it random when they use it?

[open coral]

You can see when they cast it.

[lethal mist]

Lol just learned it

[open coral]

All spell names will show up either as a cast bar or as flying text.

[lethal mist]

Typical when you type something, you get the answer. Classic

[open coral]

It's just a matter of extending combat until you see it.

[lethal mist]

This is SO MUCH FUN

Btw, opening the spellbook I can put spells on the "Active Actions" but it doesn't change my hotbar? Thought it was one and the same?

What's the point of the Active Action?

[lucid leaf]

Whatsup people, I'm about to start an ATMA Fate Partyfinder(Rian Itsumi-Brynhildir)

[faint flare]

You need ti drag them

To your hotbar

After making them activr

[open coral]

You can only add active actions to your hotbar, but you have to do that manually.

Since there are like 100 spells, but you can only use 24 at a time.

[lethal mist]

Oh so Active Action = these are the ones I can drag to hotbar.

[open coral]

Yes

[lethal mist]

Cool, ty

[faint flare]

They're your currently in use spells

Since you can literally do everything

As blue

So there's tank loadouts, healer load outs. Dps loadoutd

[strange coral]

So you don't need 10 hotbars fulls of actions, and can't use absolutely everything in a single battle. Need to plan ahead on what you'll need.

[lethal mist]

Oh btw, if I do Duty Roulette, what will happen? I assume I can't enter anything higher level?

[open coral]

You can't do Duty Roulettes as BLu

They're restricted.

[faint flare]

You can only be put into stuff you can access with your level and gear on normal jobs

[lethal mist]

Oh, that's the whole "Limited" part?

[open coral]

Yeah

BLU can enter content through the party finder, but not duty finder.

[faint flare]

They cant que for dungeons normally

Gotta be a premade

[open coral]

No random matching

[lethal mist]

So using Party Finder, can I enter high level content and just let people carry me? Obviously by stating that.

[open coral]

No

Rules for entering an instance remain intact. You just can't use random matching.

So you need to meet the appropriate level/ilevel requirements.

[spare plinth]

Are people still doing void ark, the hw raids?

[open coral]

Yes

[spare plinth]

I know crystal tower is for msq, ivalice is for resistance weapons and yorha as it’s the latest but people still do sky pirates?

[open coral]

Yes

[modest igloo]

hw raids are also now a part of relics

[strange coral]

The HW alliance raids drop stuff required for the ShB relic quest, so that's had plenty of activity, but it's mostly Void Ark as that's the fastest and first one unlocked.

[modest igloo]

tho there's other ways to get them

[hallow sparrow]

having a quest Into a Copper Hell but doesnt see it on my map where to go :O

[open coral]

Go to Western Thanalan.

[hallow sparrow]

found it ! :D

had to speak with the guy behind me first ol

[primal loom]

I know mods are against the rules but are FFlogs as well?

[little swift]

!faq act

[zinc orbit]

ACT/Parsing

Advanced Combat Tracker (ACT) can be used to view and record combat in real time to see player damage, healing, etc. ACT logs can then be uploaded to FFLogs to compare your performance with other players.

ACT/FFLogs Guide

Please note this software is technically against the FFXIV Terms of Service and should only be used for personal improvement. Mentioning ACT/Parsing in-game, particularly to harass other players, is likely to result in punishment against your Square Enix account.

[remote lintel]

fflogs isnt a 3rd party program

its a website

[hollow river]

are quests the fastest way to lvl up when you change jobs?

[remote lintel]

no

[latent bloom]

I was looking into weddings with other servers, but all i was finding were old post back when the cross world feature was created saying no. Does anyone know if this still hold true?

[remote lintel]

fates, hunt logs for below lvl 15 and roulettes, beast tribes, spamming highest lvl dungeon for 15+

[latent bloom]

[remote lintel]

@latent bloom what are you asking

[blissful tulip]

I have trusted relations with the Ananta, I thought it unlocked 6x quests a day?

But I did 3 and nothing else showed up.

unless you happen to rank up that same day, ya

[blissful tulip]

Oh got it.

[faint flare]

No bonus quests for sworn/bloodsworn

[latent bloom]

I wish

[lethal mist]

Wtf, a Treant Sapling used Acorn Bomb on me, I fell asleep but he hit me and I woke up. I killed him but didn't learn the blue magic?

Was it cause I fell asleep?

[faint flare]

No

[open coral]

You don't always learn the spell

[faint flare]

Its rng

[open coral]

It's not 100%

[faint flare]

To learn spells

[lethal mist]

Oh!

[open coral]

Sometimes you have to try a few times.

[lethal mist]

Ok cool, thanks!

[faint flare]

Only guaranteed spells are ones for job quests and ones gotten via syncing dungeons

[open coral]

^

And trials and raids.

[wispy totem]

it's only 100% learning if you do a dungeon level sync'd

[open coral]

Everything else is like, 60% learn rate.

[wispy totem]

If you have access to a level 70 zone, you could hire someone to power level your bluemage from level 1-70 in 1 hour

[lethal mist]

Gotcha. I've only gotten like 5 so far and all others were pretty much once they used it, I got it. Hence my surprise 😛

[open coral]

They just started so they need to get Flying Sardine first.

Which is level 30 minimum

[delicate field]

way less than 60%, I ran a trial 10 times unsynced and didnt learn the spell

[lethal mist]

Also my highest, DRG, is at 63 and I just finished Crystal Tower and doing MSQ. I don't think I've seen wild enemies past 50 yet tbh.

[faint flare]

For overworld spells

[open coral]

Yes, the trials/raids/dungeons unsynced have a much lower learn rate @delicate field

[faint flare]

Unsync is drastically lower

[open coral]

Overworld spells are ~60% learn rate though.

[little swift]

Rng is rng there is no official reported rate

[open coral]

Estimated

[vernal urchin]

it took me 30 attempts to get acorn bomb

it's pure rng

[lethal mist]

I don't mind RNG. I just thought it was 100 and since I didn't learn I thought maybe I missed a mechanic or something. If it's RNG then let it be. I'm a Triple Triad gamer. I can handle RNG 😂

[open coral]

Yeah. It's usually not bad.

[lethal mist]

I got Acorn bomb on second cast.

So not shabby

[open coral]

And certainly nowhere near as bad as the primal spells were when BLU first came out, where it wasn't even guaranteed with a full synced BLU party.

[green flicker]

if I add Materia to gear and the stat that comes with the materia is in red.. that would mean it's no good yeah?

[wispy totem]

BLU is basically setup for events. Like right now, you can farm 80 moogle eso's per hour. Versus 10 per 60-90 minutes for a normal job.

[open coral]

That means you're adding more than that gear can have of that stat.

[green flicker]

Ahh copy

[open coral]

It won't benefit you.

[heavy wadi]

BLU is great for farming old content

[green flicker]

Thanks. I'm still learning this stuff

[open coral]

Who's taking 90 minutes in a single run of Prae?

That place is 45 minutes, tops.

[green flicker]

Mmmm I've had it be an hour before

[wispy totem]

I usually do it for an hour

[little swift]

even then, you're drastically undervaluing spamming AV even on normal jobs

[wispy totem]

I watch netflix and it goes longer than 1 45 min episode

[heavy wadi]

it takes even less now with the skips

[green flicker]

Can't skip when it's from a duty

[wispy totem]

yep

the crappy short msq one usually takes 40 mins+ for me. and the long one is about 60

[open coral]

Even with a normal party for AV, you can get 4-6 runs done per hour, depending on how good your party is.

[wispy totem]

I'm averaging 3 1/2 mins per AV run for 4 eso a pop

[green flicker]

Dependent on pArty yea.. I'll sit in Prae and get my 10 xD this way I can do laundry too

[wispy totem]

Basically insta kill the first two bosses by having the blu hit it at the same time with missles (do a short 5 second countdown macro), then have everyone final sting at 40% hp on final boss. super easy. And ultrasonic trash mobs

[final niche]

whats the point of the quest called "the greatest story never told"?

is it just for fun?

[open coral]

Yes

[final niche]

makes sense

It would take 2 1/2 hours to get all 4, 50 cost mounts or... 20 hours doing it with a normal job O.O. And it would take you 1 hour to get from 1-70 blu, and probably another hour getting the 4 spells needed to farm it (missiles, rams voice, ultrasonic and final sting) and like 150kgil to buy a full hq i385 set.

well maybe 10 mins getting 3/4 not sure what it takes to get missiles off the top of my head*

[lilac tree]

I keep getting this and then live chat isnt working and they havent emailed me back from this morning yet.

[lethal mist]

You do not fulfill the level requirements for the specified duty.
If I see this in party finder, it's cool, but is there a way to actually see which level something is? I don't see level indicated anywhere. Maybe I'm blind.

[heavy wadi]

it says the level right next to the duty name

https://i.imgur.com/FEEytvI.png

[lethal mist]

Except for the obvious top ones, I don't see it on the middle ones...

I see Avg Item Level, but not Level.

[remote lintel]

thats party finder

and you can look up the lvl of the duty specified

i.e praetorium is lvl 50

[lethal mist]

Ah, well I know you can use the Duty Finder and look it up but the more you unlock the more cumbersome it becomes to even find something. Thought they'd include it in the party finder as well. No worries tho!

[little swift]

you're going to have to be a bit more patient then its not like you're the only person on the planet who needs support from them

there are probably numerous tickets for themt o go through

[lethal mist]

So can anyone help me level from 10 or do I need a specific level to start from?

As BLU

[lilac tree]

The live chat is what I'm concerned about not the email.

[little swift]

have you tried phoning them

[little swift]

they can help you from level 1

[lethal mist]

Ok cool. Was afraid there was some weird mechanic cause someone mentioned Sardine Toss or whatever. I guess it's more for optimization then. Thank you

[little swift]

flying sardine is an instant cast blu spell which makes it easier for you to run around to tag enemies

so people who are powerleveling you don't have to wait for you to sit and cast

[hallow sparrow]

So i noticed some leves give more exp than other ones, so i have three to complete but ive stacked some leves allowance and wondering if i be able to do that one leve continuesly for all allowance ive stacked?

Cus my NPC im at have 3 leves for me but one of em give realy high exp

[strange coral]

Depends on the leves. A lot of the early level ones give them kind of at random. Some of the later ones will give you the same ones right after you do them.

[hallow sparrow]

I gues i could realy just try it myself

[strange coral]

You can do the 1 and then see if it comes back up after you turn it in

[lilac tree]

The number I called said it's not for customer support

[lilac mulch]

is there a channel/discrod that does potd group forming?

[hallow sparrow]

How hard is it to get magitek mount?

[strange coral]

Depends on which one

One is free from the MSQ

[hallow sparrow]

Magitek predator mount

[strange coral]

Well you can get that one from the moogle tomestone event going on right now, so pretty easy currently

Otherwise it drops from the Ala Mhigo dungeon at random I believe. I have no idea what the drop rate is though

[hallow sparrow]

Oke

[soft flicker]

how do i gather to get collectibility stuff? i need to reduce stuff for materials and i need to collect some specific stuff

[strange coral]

gotcha gotcha, ty

[spare plinth]

Suppose you’re running snow cloak as a scholar. How do you keep your tank’s health up? Fairy? Keep adlo? Physick?

Lustrate?

[faint flare]

Whispering dawn basically on cooldown

And sprinkle in lustrates as needed

Prepull adlos as normal

[spare plinth]

Pop whispering dawn as soon as tank pulls mob?

[faint flare]

No, when they stop

Otherwise it will miss them

[spare plinth]

When the tank stops pulling mobs together use whispering dawn

[faint flare]

Yes, whispering dawn does alot of heavy lifting on the healing front

!action Whispering dawn

[zinc orbit]

**Whispering Dawn** : lvl 20 SCH (60.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Orders faerie to execute Whispering Dawn. If Seraph is summoned, orders her to execute Angel's Whisper. Whispering Dawn /Angel's Whisper Effect: Gradually restores the HP of all nearby party members

(abit less cause pet potency is fucking stupid)

[pastel pond]

Hey guys - I tried monk and all the positionals got a little too confusing. Is Ninja more straight forward?

[faint flare]

Ninja has 2 positionals, 3 with trick every minute

Aeolian as rear and armour crush as flank

Trick is rear

So you're mostly at the rear most the time

[pastel pond]

How many did monk have again? I forgot

[faint flare]

6

One per single target gcd

Except on SSS

[pastel pond]

That's nuts lol

[faint flare]

There's 3 flanks and 3 rears

[pastel pond]

I know they're totally different but idk to make ninja or bard xD

[full remnant]

Can I have some help please? my wife made a bit of a mistake

[full remnant]

Anyone here know the level 45 class gear for sch?

[strange coral]

The Scholar's set, what about it?

[full remnant]

my wife sold it and now she can't get it back we even looked at the calamity salvager

[slate arrow]

It's at the calamity salvager. Make sure you're looking at the right section.

If you're talking about the i90 set that's a different set entirely

[full remnant]

no we checked everything

she even screen shared it

and for some reason I don't even have it

could it be maybe she put it somewhere?

[strange coral]

Maybe, you can /isearch it

/isearch "Scholar's" should do it

[pastel pond]

Is ninja rotation quite beginner friendly?

Or is it more advanced

[faint flare]

Outside of trick, its just 1 2 3

[stable hinge]

which strat does pf usually use for e12s?

[frosty falcon]

moogle event is running until next patch, right? when do we expect that?

[leaden ginkgo]

hey guys, I'm blacksmith level 80. I have master level recipe books 4 and 6. Which recipe book do i need to craft "points of the demon"? google said Blacksmith IV but i dont see it in the list

[faint flare]

April 13th

[heavy wadi]

blacksmith IV is 4

[leaden ginkgo]

i dont see it in 4

[strange coral]

You need the BSM soul crystal too I think

(specialization)

[heavy wadi]

what

[delicate field]

the soul crystals only give you some stats

[faint flare]

And access to specialist receipes

[twilit arch]

no

[leaden ginkgo]

its greyed out

[twilit arch]

you don't need specialist for demon

oh wait

yes you do

[slate arrow]

Are you sure about that

[faint flare]

You need specialist

[twilit arch]

sorry forgot its current specialist recipes

[faint flare]

Current crafted primal weapons typically are specialists only

[leaden ginkgo]

how do i get that?

[slate arrow]

ishgard > airship landing

[faint flare]

They're the soul of the X for crafters

[slate arrow]

Blue quest neat the astrolgian guild

[faint flare]

Near the astro guild

[leaden ginkgo]

thank you

[hybrid bramble]

Will it be a good idea to save lvl 70 scaevan healing gear for sage since sage is coming in November?

[delicate field]

ah there's the error

[faint flare]

It also says

At the bottom

"specialist needed"

[heavy wadi]

I wouldn't save it, super easy to get poetics

[delicate field]

ah it does, nice thx

that's odd the wiki doesnt mention it gives special recipes

[hybrid bramble]

okie because i need room for inventory anyways and i want more gc seals - thanks!

[delicate field]

ah I found all the specialist recipes on this wiki: https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Specialist#Blacksmith
convenient

[tepid jackal]

I've been reading some guides on ability rotations and such and a lot of them have things like 'use x on 3rd gcd or if your party is this use it on 5th gcd.' What do the numbered gcds mean?

[agile laurel]

x amount of GCDs into the fight

consider how many GCDs you use since pulling the boss

[tepid jackal]

Oh gotcha

[south roost]

What's the best way to level weaver desynth? I need to hit 100 to desynth moogle king stuff for his weapon craft

[delicate field]

you need 100 to be able to desynth it altogether, or does 100 gets you the demimog demimateria?

[silver ruin]

can desynth anything at any desynth level

higher desynth levels (a specific level for each item) gives better chances to get rare stuff from items

[twilit arch]

basically, desynth high lvl stuff with bacon broth and tinker's calm on. Ruby Cotton Apron > Pixie Cotton Sash > Dwarven Cotton Bandana being affordable/cheap to craft items to level wvr

[south roost]

Ty^^ I'll look up those items

[gusty hare]

are there achievements for getting riding maps? or should i just skip them completely?

[twilit arch]

no achievements related to them, easy skip esp once you've gotten flying

[gusty hare]

aye

[lone spruce]

How do people sell tomestones? I often see PF ads like “selling 2k allegory for x” or whatever

[azure ivy]

They tell you what items they need for allegory exchange in Eulmore

[lone spruce]

Ah but those items aren’t tradable for the most part?
