There are materials that can be traded/sold

Which is what they’re buying
Just make sure to check the prices yourself and compare that to how much they’re paying

Can you trade Crystarium gear?

Nope.

you guys have been great, you could've jsut told me to google the quests lmao

Yep, I didn't figure clipped wings because it's on the other side of the map where the others were north

tepid jackal
What's the deal on spell speed and gcds? A lot of things I'm seeing are saying that too low a gcd is bad, why is that exactly?
glossy flare
Do you know what weaving is?
tepid jackal
I've seen the term but don't know exactly what it means
I assume it means using ogcds in between gcds
glossy flare
It refers to using an ogcd ability between gcd abilites
zinc orbitBOT
glossy flare
Yeah see this
And the gist is this: If you are too fast the window for weaving becomes too small
So you would delay your next gcd
Which is called clipping
And that's bad
tepid jackal
Oh okay, that makes sense
The chart is helpful too
I'm probably long before I need to be using this to make differences between clears or not but it's still helpful nonetheless
This is my first mmo
glossy flare
Oh yeah unless you attempt savage content it doesn't matter much
But it's still good to practice
tepid jackal
Yeah I was just wondering
open coral
Weaving to the extent it's used here is pretty unusual in MMOs.
tepid jackal
I still don't have any job at 60 so I'm pretty new lol
open coral
While it exists in other games, it's a really important part of most jobs' rotations in XIV.
vernal urchin
You won't really need to worry about weaving until you hit 60
Since it's around that time that you start getting more ogcds
tepid jackal
I see
yeah for now I only have one ogcd spell I use, idk if I'm supposed to be using others (red mage)
remote lintel
spell speed depends on your class
faint flare
You have multiple
faint flare
Fleche, contre, Corps a corp, displacement
All should be used on cooldown
Oh and acceleration
tepid jackal
I've been working on acceleration more since I forget to use it a lot
but I'm getting better at it
remote lintel
also too low a gcd has nothing to do with being able to weave
tepid jackal
and oh yeah contre exists LOL
remote lintel
its about alignment
vernal urchin
Love contre, cool summon sword looking move
tepid jackal
I love the whole aesthetic of the class in general
But yeah, thanks everyone 😁
This game has so much to learn it's kind of overwhelming

Get comfy with one. Then move to others. I personally found that it helps my gameplay when I understood how other jobs played.
obsidian patio
In terms of tanks and healers it’s good to know what their mitigation tools look like so you don’t go overkill on cooldowns
tepid jackal
That's the idea, learning the basics of other classes helps me to understand how I should interact with them
I've tried out a few and really settled with rdm
little swift
The alternative is to jump around to learn bit about everything before settling on one you like
tepid jackal
warrior and scholar are pretty fun too though
little swift
Which is also fine
obsidian patio
But for stuff like that you can always just read what the skills do on the FFXIV job action site
rose fox
Are the nier raid loot still weekly?
little swift
Clusters only
steep heron
No reason not to pick up others when you want too. it can only help.
Fundamentals like not going super far from the healer when you are a caster/ranger is a good example.
tepid jackal
Yeah I largely just jump around to different characters when I get bored but I feel like that would be a detriment here
glossy flare
I mean to be fair if you didn't hit 60 yet there are some jobs you weren't even able to try out yet
No harm in giving them a chance once you can

rugged shoal
ohhh

Alliance raids are just barely above Normal mode Trials and Dungeons. Easy to go in blind.
faint flare
Goes for any content in the game
dark copper
what's the difference between a melee and caster LB, and why does the melee dps have to LB the aetherial tear?
faint flare
Melee is higher single target damage
Caster is lower damage on single target but aoe
glossy flare
i assume normal raids are the hard ones?
Those have the savage mode which is the hard content, yes
faint flare
Melee lb3 immediately kills the Aetherical tear, skipping that whole stupid phase
rugged shoal
Ohhh okieee
faint flare
Which no one does correctly
steep heron
what's the difference between a melee and caster LB, and why does the melee dps ...
Melee does more damage to a single target. Ranger and Mage LB are both weaker but have an aoe.
open coral
Practically speaking, all dps LB have the same base power, it's just a question of distribution thereof.

any potency stuff you may have seen on gamerescape or otherwise isn't accurate

They have their own potency.
There used to be lots of rumors or misinformation about it scaling with the parties str/int stats or the current health of the boss. Those can be safely ignored.

i dont think ill ever be able to get over the fact that the dev team for this game has been so attentive and responsive to players in all these aspects, but after thousands of posts, suggestions, tickets, feedback from the majority of every playerbase in every server, they still let a huge chunk of game content be locked behind owning a house, which you need a house as prerequisit to buy one wtf

the only content locked behind housing is gardening

If you don’t mind the grind, then palace of the dead is a good option

You might not find it though since left and right click do more than one thing depending on where your mouse is
If you don't find it in your keybind settings go to your character settings and look through all your mouse options
It might be an option you can turn off to where holding both buttons does nothing or just moves your camera

No dice, can't find it under keybinds or under character customization>mouse. Might not be an option, I guess.

Hey, everyone! Recently started playing and omw to finish ARR. However, as we have the XP buff, I find that doing sidequests throws me at an absurdly higher level lol.
Question is, do you think I should delve in the sidequests only after reaching the current MSQ, or at some point I can breathe a bid and do them? I heard a lot of people say good things about the sidequests, so I'm not sure. Would love a veteran's opinion on that
fluid rivet
Yeah, that's what I've been doing so far, just wasn't sure if I'd miss interesting stuff on the road to the expansions

Yellow quests are literally just lore

job boosts for recent expac jobs aren't added until the next expac

Until that

Boost for something that starts at level 60 is just unnecessary
faint flare
Yea
twilit arch
so dnc/gnb will get it with EW release
but honestly, buying a boost for sb/shb jobs are kind of waste since they start at 60/70

Mmmm
I don’t even bother with these and just do levelling roulette and alliance raid so in time my character becomes 70. Then I’ll start grinding trust lol
I really hope they don’t boost our trust characters to level 80 in EW. I went to hell and back to level these people up
modest igloo
i hope they do cause otherwise im not gonna touch trusts
leaden ginkgo
What about my time commitment?
I mean you aren’t touching trusts now, why would you do it then
modest igloo
bc then I'll use it when there isnt a bozja for me to level in
leaden ginkgo
Hmm
delicate field
What are trusts
twilit arch
AI you can run the lvl 71-80 dungeons with
viscid fossil
Are there any point of using main stats materia anymore? I heard they are discontinue since 5.0
twilit arch
no, theres basically never been a point to main stat materia
shut panther
If trusts don't get boosted to 80 the system will be effectively dead
viscid fossil
I think they should put them into all low level dungeons
split from duty roulettes
at least the... MSQ roulette.. painful
modest igloo
something should be done for those two i agree. but at least they have a niche
needed the hell outta them for my anima weapon
twilit arch
this is more #general-discussion than qnh
modest igloo
ye
delicate field
Are the npc actually decent in trust? Is there a type you should favor over other to compensate for bad AI?
I noticed choxobo and class quest npc never move out of AoE, do trust npc also never move out of them?
shut panther
The NPCs are competent but they do dungeons in a very RP way that nobody does normally at high levels.
They do move out of aoes.
remote lintel
theyre programmed to deal with mechs
delicate field
Oh ok so they are better than choxobo ai lol
remote lintel
also if you take ||thancred|| he doesn't do his magical attacks unless you also take ||minfilia||
shut panther
Basically in high level dungeons most people do maximum size pulls and AOE things down.
Trusts do single pulls and don't use AOE unless it's an explicit "AOE pull"
remote lintel
you can force them to pull more but yeah they only do single target attacks
delicate field
Do you think trust AI is programmed with specific responses to specific skills in specific dungeons based on a specific scripting or they react "smartly" to different situations?
delicate field
Msq all done
shut panther
Yeah I mean technically you can force them to pull more but it doesn't help that much and you have to go out of your way
Trust AI is absolutely the first thing you mentioned.
remote lintel
in ||dohn mheg, on the last boss with the tightrope mechanic, they all deal with it in different ways according to their personality||
shut panther
They have scripting for mechanics.
And yeah, sometimes this is used as an opportunity to express story/character elements
remote lintel
||i.e. urianger teleports himself across, thancredd will run and jump, ryne tiptoes, etc.||
delicate field
You can recruit named npc?
remote lintel
yes
shut panther
You can recruit named npc?
The trust system is linked to the story itself
delicate field
Oh damn sorry i was somehow mistaking it for the GC dungeon group
shut panther
Basically, they're the canonical way of doing dungeons in shb.
remote lintel
squadron groups are dumber
shut panther
Where previous expansions most dungeons are implied to be either you alone or you with nameless adventurers
delicate field
Squadron yes, oh so they don't use the same AI
shut panther
Squadrons need to be commanded.
delicate field
So maybe a healer would be nice to main in squadron?
delicate field
Damn Lol
remote lintel
theyre pretty stupid but doable
delicate field
But it's not useful for GC rank progression, right?
remote lintel
it requires it for captain
delicate field
Damn lol ok thx
remote lintel
captain requires 5 unique dungeons
delicate field
Oh that is a lot. I'm at the part where I have to do the level 40 squad thing
upper cove
Question about command squadrons. Don't have access to the game now so I can't test. Can I bring the 'free members out on command missions if half the squad is out for squadron missions?
Trying to level my machinist but without a hunting log to occupy me the queue time gets quite bad
leaden ginkgo
How can I make a text command that places a specific user macro on my hotbar?
remote lintel
if you have at least 3 npcs then you should be able to do command missions
upper cove
I'm aware you can switch the hit bars around, not specific hotkeys
@remote lintel cool, my squad is up to 8 head count now.
remote lintel
3 free npcs that is
upper cove
I'll test it out tonight
I only send 1 squad out for mission
Why i did not think of sending 2 i have no idea
remote lintel
@leaden ginkgo you cant afaik
upper cove
This squadron thing is really new to me. I assume the class mostly doesn't matter. What matters is you get a member you like correct
I'm aware archers are the better DPSes somehow
remote lintel
you want balanced stats
remote lintel
some with high def, some with high atk, some with high mind or whatever theyre called
delicate field
Pot0to? The Dwarf ppl?
leaden ginkgo
<@456226577798135808> you cant afaik
Afaik?
delicate field
As far as I know
leaden ginkgo
Bummer
upper cove
You could technically force the change. By making 2 identical hot bars. And just that 1 button you wanna change
And do up the macro for hotbar swaps
Between all the base classes, crafters and gatherers. There's a lot of unused hotbars you can play with
remote lintel
you would need like 3 hotbars, 1 default, 1 for the button, 1 without button
if you wanted to place and take away the button
leaden ginkgo
But then I wouldn’t be able to use same keybind?
remote lintel
it only lowers when flying
delicate field
What armor set is that
remote lintel
keybind has nothing to do with hotbar swapping
nova umbra
it's a mount from 600 faux hollow
remote lintel
it would be the same keybinds
leaden ginkgo
But my 1st n 2nd hotbar has different sets of keybinds, I don’t understand.
delicate field
Construct VI-S, i see it
leaden ginkgo
If I were to switch between those 2 hotbars, wouldn’t it change with their keybinds?
remote lintel
hotbar copy just takes all the skills and plants them onto the hotbar you want iirc
dont think it copies the keybinds with it
delicate field
What is faux hollow, you do a trial once a week to unlock a minigame?
remote lintel
basically
jade quartz
Exactly
Clearing the trial once a week gives you an allowance to play the minigame
And you can get a chance to do it a second time if you get the crossed swords icon in the minigame (which you can basically guarantee)
remote lintel
its basically like battleship
delicate field
And you mostly never get the mount i guess? Lol
remote lintel
you accumulate currency to buy the mount
delicate field
Oh
leaden ginkgo
You could technically force the change. By making 2 identical hot bars. And just...
What’s the text command for switching hotbars?

So I’ve leveled all 4 tanks to 80 and have 1 80 DPS and two fairly close to 80, I’ve finally decided to try a healer (probably AST) anyone got any tips

i266 is a bit low
fringe lotus
Ok its been a while since i played the game so how should i get gear? from marketboard or is there something I can get with poetics rn?
little swift
keep grabbing what oyu can
full augmented shire shouldn't put you at 266 though 🤔
should be 270 exact now
ocean crescent
even then you should have picked up a little bit from dungeons and such at that point
fringe lotus
i was selecting materia cause i wasnt paying attention to the armor thought i still had stronger 
ocean crescent
do you have any poetics?
little swift
i270 gear is surpassed by msq gear by 64/65
ocean crescent
buy some scaevan gear
fringe lotus
yeah i have poetics
little swift
its fine just do your best to not avoid msq gear
just take it from now on
even if you can't use it

270 will at the very least will work up until the lvl 69 dungeon.

if you can get a couple of crafted pieces cheap off mb its not bad

the gear curve is relatively steep

I was getting yelled at and it was my first time. I was wondering why I was always the one who died. Died like 3 times
shut panther
It's not the same for every expansion, SB in particular has a very sudden jump
little swift
and healing them to full is another method
hw was pretty harsh too ropter
and while shb was less steep it still existed
olive totem
Level 58 gear is a huge jump in stats
shut panther
What I mean by sudden is hw and shb are steady increases
Bardams in SB is a very sudden wake up call
Not a steady increase
little swift
fair but the point being that advising people not to take gear is just not the thing you do
shut panther
I don't think it's a problem in shb, but yeah I wouldn't recommend it in hw or sb

Out of curiosity what's the difference(s) between Augmented Cryptlurker's and Edenmorn gear?
I keep seeing endgame people like Cleave in a mix of the two

The substat spread
Some have substats that a job might want over another
Like crit/det vs piety/spell speed
dire prawn
Oh so like one might be Crit > DH and the other Crit/Det or something like that
little swift
Oh so like one might be Crit > DH and the other Crit/Det or something like that
Sorta but usually if one piece has crit, the other version of the gear slot will have a different spread altogether

between augmented cryptlurker and patch 5.5 pentamelding augmented exarchic (exchange version).
augmented cryptlurker should provide slightly more stats than pentamelding augmented exarchic right?
shut panther
Augmented cryptlurker is significantly better

Its still 10ilvls of mainstats and vitality
shut panther
530>520
shut panther
There will still probably be a spike in demand at 5.5

why?
earnest wraith
won't they just use crypt lurker since there won't be a weekly limit anymore?
little swift
won't they just use crypt lurker since there won't be a weekly limit anymore?
There still is a limit
shut panther
The 530 gear is still going to be fairly limited -- the upgrade items either require a ton of hunts or are weekly limited
little swift
450 tomes per week until later in the patch when that doubles
shut panther
And certain augmented crafted pieces will be superior to the 520 cryptlurker gear still

Only the Stormblood alliance raid

whats the quest line for that T.T
is it stated in here: https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/The_Bozjan_Southern_Front
or is this outdated
honest anvil
the stormblood alliance raid quest?
starts in kugane, called fallen city (or similar)
thin comet
all right. basically unlock and do 3 of the alliance raid then im good to go to start bozjan questline next right?
thin comet
the msq? yeap i've done it already
honest anvil
then ye, should be all you need
thin comet
all right. thanks 😄
which relic should i get? im at 510 AST and 500 ish NIN. i enjoy AST more though... lvling mch and i kinda like mch > nin as well xD
is there like a relic weapon priority
slate arrow
whichever one you like first
shut panther
Whatever class you think you'll play most really
honest anvil
none is BiS atm so i just do them for glams
thin comet
ah
honest anvil
you can look up how they look first on yt and decide

At some point in 5.5 they'll be bis
honest anvil
look up all stages too

they have at least 2 unique appearances psure

oh! the cryptlurker?
mats for weapon are from savage, no?

Unaugmented cryptlurker is 520, comes from normal raids
honest anvil
you need sth bought with revelation
honest anvil
and loot from the last normal raid
thin comet
ahhh okay xD
i think i remembered something about eden's promise
thank you @shut panther & @honest anvil. gotta start doing the alliance raid first before anything then
honest anvil
enjoy ^^
shut panther
Personally, I wouldn't think of the stats for the relic. Look at the models and decide based on what you like.
thin comet
ayy ok xD
can i get the mats before reaching lv80? lol
thinking of getting mch relic if its possible xD
honest anvil
You need to be 80 to start the relic psure
Or well, not start
But to make any meaningful progress
cause you need to equip them briefly and they are for lv80 so ...
honest anvil
but can someone clarify that though cause been a while since i do the early early steps
nova umbra
so I'm currently on this step of my crafting relic quest. Am I still able to also work on a gatherer relic weapon?
zinc orbitBOT
shut panther
You don't really need the quest active to progress it. So you can just do whatever gathering or crafting, then take the quest and immediately complete it.
As long as you know what it is you need to gather or craft.
delicate field
skysteel tools?
shut panther
What about them?
delicate field
is that what you are talking about
slate arrow
yes
delicate field
they are that ez to complete? just turn in a bunch of mats?
slate arrow
basically
But extremely grindy
Each step takes like, 2000 yellow scrips + a bunch of materials
delicate field
oh jesus lol
slate arrow
And this is assuming you don't burn any on normal or low Collectibility crafts
delicate field
it was tedious enough unlocking the books for level 80 legendary veins
i cant imagine 2000 gatherer scrips agin
shut panther
Yeah turn in some mats is an incredibly understatement.
delicate field
I maxed out all crafters but havent looked into skysteel tools yet
slate arrow
You don't need em unless you want em
I've been using my penta melded Aesthete's since they came out
shut panther
To make the crafter ones, you need to buy several thousands worth of scrip materials, then craft hundreds of items.
delicate field
do the legendary crafter sets have better stats than a pantamelded aesthete?
shut panther
The gatherer ones require you gather hundreds of hq items, and thousands of nq/hidden ones.
Skysung technically has more stats at this point but the difference is almost meaningless
Also, skysteel will theoretically be far, far easier in 6.0 if you want the glam.
slate arrow
6.0 you'll just outstat the craft requirements and/or just have access to that skill
delicate field
some google search said that you can only get skysteel when doing Mislaid Plans, which https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Mislaid_Plans says its from 5.25 patch, I'm at MSQ grand adenture 5.1 and I can't see the npc giving out skysteel quest, I'm assuming i gotta progress msq right?
slate arrow
You need a level 80 craft/gatherer
I'm not sure what else besides having the firmament unlocked
delicate field
slate arrow
Gamerescape should have any prerequisites listed if there are any
shut panther
Skysteel tools were added post launch so you might need msq progress
slate arrow
You shouldn't.
shut panther
Oh yeah, definitely not. All that stuff unlocks with Litany of peace.
Make sure you've done towards the firmament
delicate field
oh I havent done that one, will read up the wiki thx for the hint
must have missed a quest line

No, it's just a random bluequest which unlocks after 3.3

Retainers can bring you mats and other stuffs worth selling depending on jobs
I have a battle class and a gathering. Might get a 3rd gathering retainer
lethal mist
So what exactly are they? Proper secondary characters?
Cause I noticed there are classes like Gatherer you can level up. How does that work together?
vital ruin
More like your assistants
proud willow
They're essentially storage, and your interface for putting stuff up for sale
vital ruin
They can level up and gather stuffs
proud willow
you can also level them up to go out and fetch you specific items or random items
lethal mist
Oh I see. So nothing in character creation matters cause you can "make them" into anything?
proud willow
whatever class you pick for them, you'll have to give them appropriate gear. They also can't level up higher than you are in that class
lethal mist
Or is it during creation you create a gatherer, or something?
vital ruin
You can also give them jobs after their class meet job criteria
proud willow
their appearance and personality don't have any effect on what they can do
vital ruin
You have separate creations for retainers
They have personality options tho
Pick one you prefer
If I become a mentor what should I be expecting
I just want access to NN man

What can be said on the matter is lots of bard players are unhappy with the way the class plays right now. Dancers are.. Fine I think.
