Looking forward to potential tweaks, then. The job is quite fun for me

#

Can confirm, former bard main

shut panther
#

Yeah if you enjoy the job you absolutely should not switch for balance reasons.

leaden ginkgo
#

It's fun and busy but I just feel like i just don't do much

sullen lark
#

@leaden ginkgo The jump from 515 emerald to the 520 had a big difference imo, but I couldn't feel anything from 520 to 530 for some reason

silver ruin
#

like healer, unless the 520 is upgraded to 530, relic/emerald is superior

lethal mist
#

I just unlocked Ishgard and checking shops there's a lot of gear I can buy that's really much better than my own. Should I upgrade everything or will they fast become meh? I'm level 64 DRG trying to plow through MSQ (and DRG quests that have popped up).

#

I currently have these Augmented Ironworks gear but they're really a lot worse than the shop stuff wow.

shut panther
#

You shouldn't buy gear from shops

agile laurel
#

uh... well you can

#

absolutely do not go to 60 on aug ironworks alone

shut panther
#

He just got to ishgard

agile laurel
#

aug ironworks should last til like 64 or so

shut panther
#

You have your level ranges mixed

#

He's SB level just starting hw

#

He'll get gear from msq

#

Aetherweaver is probably the most important essence as a healer.

Profane if there's plenty of healing around.

hello ive heard game is free till level 60 does that mean you still have to purchase a subscription or can you just download and play]

The free trial does not require a subscription no, but it you already have a service account you cannot then go back to the free trial iirc

You can craft them as any class but Culinarian at level 15. they can also be bought at your grand company for seals or bought off the marketboard.

Hello, I’m a new player. Like lvl 5 on a free trail account just checking things out.

Been watching YouTube all night on job videos.

What the hell is a Blue Mage 😂 is this like a meme to do when you run out of stuff to do 🤣 I’m so confused

obsidian patio
#

Blue Mage is basically side content as a class.

#

You learn spells from fighting monsters and can use them to be really OP in undersized/solo/premade content

#

For example, this spell

#

!action basic Instinct

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Basic Instinct** : lvl 1 BLU (500 MP) (2.5 second cooldown)(2.0 second base cast time)

Increases movement speed by 30%, and healing magic potency and damage dealt by 100%. Also ignores the damage penalty inflicted by Mighty Guard.
Can only be used in duties intended for two or more players while playing alone, while no other party members are in the instance, or when all party members are incapacitated. Effect ends when joined by one or more party members.

Blue Magic

A behavior learned from certain species of coeurl, the caster rises to the challenge of losing comrades by tapping into a feral survival instinct. When all seems lost, or when simply treading where a lone mage was not meant to tread, unrestrained ferocity is sometimes the only way to win through.

Obtained

Master Coeurl / Upper La Noscea (8, 21)
Coeurl Sruti / Temple of the Fist

Blue Magic

Type: Magic
Aspect: None
Rank: 2

obsidian patio
#

This doubles damage, healing, gives you permanent sprint, and makes one of your skills not reduce the damage you do.

wild coyote
#

Ok 😂
I’ve been like following the YouTube hole of reviews on all the jobs (everything was making sense) but have then finally stumbled onto blue mage content and was like WTF 🤣

formal meteor
#

What's the best location & best class for fate farming in the far east region?

obsidian patio
#

Azim Steppe as Blue Mage.

#

If you don't want to grind up blue mage and get the needed spells than any class with good aoe will do for the most part.

#

like tanks and healers for the tankiness and self-sustain

echo jay
#

So, uh, how do i level up quickly?
My levelling roulette is looking weird

obsidian patio
#

Did you already run it today?

#

Because Roulettes only give good experience the first time for each day due to the bonus they give

#

doing a roulette a second time is the exact same as directly queueing for that duty, besides the Adventurer in Need bonus (which is not good at all for experience)

#

After you do roulettes for the first time that day spam your highest level dungeon

warm snow
#

That's a first clear bonus and an adventurer in need bonus

#

Basically if it's the first time you or a member of the party is doing the dungeon/trial etc. Everyone gets a bonus

covert berry
#

what's the name of the extension of the job switcher?

obsidian patio
#

extension?

covert berry
#

not sure, its a white thing that have the jobs to switch just by pressing

obsidian patio
#

That sounds like the gearsets. You can drag those to your hotbar as an action to press.

agile laurel
#

sounds like a hotbar layout tbh

covert berry
#

yeah

#

make sure to not do level cap dungeons (50/60/70)

#

they give some shitty xp

echo jay
#

huh, good to know

shrewd owl
#

Weird xp gain on that roulette tho

echo jay
#

made me confused as well, even made me think i'm doing something wrong

obsidian patio
#

Maybe the roulette bonus experience didn't show due to all the other messages popping up

agile laurel
#

50/60/70 is deceiving because the dungeons themselves are not designed to give xp

lethal mist
#

I stopped being able to fly when unlocking heavensward. Now I read that flight was introduced with Heavensward so maybe it got nulled for this area? Is there a specific requirement like having the whole map or simply just a thing I get back later during MSQ?

the only xp you will earn is from completion of roulette

Flying FAQ

'How can I unlock Flying?'

Flying is unlocked through the collecting of a zone's Aether Currents, with every zone having ten 'green' Aether Currents found in the overworld and five 'yellow' Aether Currents obtained through the MSQ and side quests marked with a plus sign. Azys Lla is the only zone to not have any green Aether Currents. You must collect all Aether Currents in a zone to be able to fly.

Flying is unlocked in A Realm Reborn zones simply by completing the level 50 story quest 'The Ultimate Weapon'.

'Where can I find the green Aether Currents?'

Upon obtaining the Black Chocobo mount you are also given an Aether Compass, which is a key item you can use to locate the nearest non-quest Aether Current. This can be set to your Hotbar for ease of use. Alternatively, you can use this website to show the location of all Aether Currents for a zone. http://heavenswhere.com/

agile laurel
#

gah

obsidian patio
#

Basically how Flying is unlocked in expansion zones is how it was originally done

#

ARR's flight was done as such to help get through the patch story faster.

lethal mist
#

I see, so I need to find aether currents. I have yet to obtain a black chocobo or the compass.

obsidian patio
#

You get those in the story.

lethal mist
#

Or wait, how are the aether currents shown on the map?

obsidian patio
#

the compass is used to point you to the nearest one

jade quartz
#

And quests that unlock the quest currents are bluequests

agile laurel
#

aether currents are visible and audible as humming green clouds

#

and also from quests

#

there'll likely be a dozen pick-ups and half a dozen bluequest in total in a zone

#

give or take

jade quartz
#

Ten pickups, five quests.

agile laurel
#

ah.

jade quartz
#

One of those quests will be MSQ, so four bluequests

lethal mist
#

Ok so 1 MSQ part and four Q+. But what are these "pickups"?

glossy flare
#

They are cloud objects you need to collect in the world

#

And you get an item that points you into the general direction of those

agile laurel
#

the msq that gives you the aether compass will explain its use

#

all it gives you is 'there is an aether current x distance in y direction'

lethal mist
#

I see. I'll just keep on going in the MSQ then. I guess I've been spoilt by the added flight to ARR cause hot damn is it not convenient running everywhere xD

agile laurel
#

yeah

glossy flare
#

Don't worry though, it sounds like more work than it is

agile laurel
#

just giving flying to ARR was less effort than adding aether currents and aether currents to bluequest

kind sail
#

Hello, is there any way in game to find people to play with at low level?

jade quartz
#

The novice network is an ingame server-wide chat channel for new players and mentors

#

You can /shout asking for an invite to it in a major city like Limsa pretty easily

kind sail

Thank you 🙂

winged fossil
#

Hi all. Sorry quick in-dungeon question after I’ve been level synced down. What is difference between cures 1-3 and medica. 1 and 2 are diff potencies but how exactly do cure 3 and medica 1 differ in play?

oak ice
#

Cure 1 is weaker than Cure 2. Cure 3 is slightly weaker than cure 2, but is small AoE, medica is a large AoE

winged fossil
#

Ah gotcha. Thanks. Didn’t notice the range diff on cure 3 and wondered why it wasn’t working

#

🙏🏼🧙🏼‍♂️

jade quartz
#

Cure 3 is a powerful but very situational tool, you're unlikely to use it much in dungeons.

#

Cure 2 should effectively replace cure 1 as you approach level 50.

#

Cure 3 is effective when the party is grouped up closely together and needs to heal from high party-wide damage

#

A situation which occurs in endgame trials and raids.

warm snow
#

Free cure is a trap and cure 1 spam is terrible

jade quartz
#

Yep yep

gritty oracle
#

Which is faster when solo grinding eureka: pld pulling an entire pack and slowly whittling them down, or rdm killing them (probably way faster) one by one?

oak ice
#

RDM pulling an entire pack and nuking them

azure jetty
#

Is Releasing actually important while Fishing? What are the real effects of it? Right now it just sounds like a roleplay thing

If you don't want the fish to clog your inventory

Man this is Pissing me off I been waiting sense 11 clock for a raid so I can get 1 stupid Hunting memory of dying and no one is even doing fates this is such as bullshit step.

heavy wadi
#

because it's currently 9:26am on a wednesday in NA is why.

#

it's not peak time, so you're going to have long queues.

I'm mostly bored at work is the truth

covert berry
#

if i did roulette for today, if i search again, is it worth? or its better for search manually for higher dgs?

strange coral
#

Roulette is only good the first time for the day

glossy flare
#

roulette is only worth it for the daily bonus

strange coral
#

Do highest level dungeon after that if you want to grind them

covert berry
#

ty

strange coral
#

(except for 50/60/70 dungeons)

covert berry
#

why aril?

strange coral
#

They give less exp

glossy flare
#

those give less xp

covert berry
#

isnt 60 better than 50?

glossy flare
#

but they do award poetics

covert berry
#

aah

glossy flare
#

No, he's talking about the level cap dungeons

covert berry
#

u mean i should not do these?

strange coral
#

What I mean is, if you're level 60, do a level 59 dungeon until you get to the 61 dungeon

glossy flare
#

So rather queue for the lvl 59 dungeon than the lvl 60 one

strange coral
#

Instead of a level 60 dungeon

covert berry
#

what if i didnt do daily roulette of 50/60?

glossy flare
#

Well you can still do the 50/60/70 roulette

covert berry
#

is it worth?

pulsar escarp
#

if you want poetics then yeah sure

glossy flare
#

It's still less xp than the leveling roulette but not a total waste of time

pulsar escarp
#

I do them just to practice learning classes I just got past 50, but mostly also for poetics because I sorta need them rn

poetics? gotta search it

I wanted to buy shadowbringer but price is kinda high

raven burrow
#

is there a way to remove everything in an apartment at once ?

strange coral
#

I don't think there is due to inventory and storeroom limits and there are some items that can be stored but not returned to inventory.

#

Makes automating a "remove everything" command a bit complicated

how do i even remove stuff , i can only see the paint option

Glamour FAQ

'What is Glamour and how do I unlock it?'

Glamour is the process of changing an equipment's look into a different item with the use of Glamour Prisms. You can unlock the ability to glamour by doing the level 15 quests 'If I Had a Glamour' in Vesper Bay, West Thanalan. Although not required, you can unlock the ability to dye gear with the nearby quest 'Color Your World'. You can get the Orange Juice needed by talking to the nearby Merchant & Mender. Items used for glamouring are not lost upon use.

'How do I glamour? Where do I get more Prisms?'

Glamouring is done by right-clicking (Square or X on controllers) on the equipment you want to glamour and choosing the option 'Cast Glamour'. After clicking this you choose the item you want the appearance on the right half of the menu that opened up. You can get more Glamour Prisms by either crafting them after completing the quest 'Absolutely Glamourous', buying them from your Grand Company Quartermaster, or buying them from the marketboard.

pulsar escarp
#

glamour prisms make you put the appearance of one thing over another piece of armour of the roughly same type

covert berry
#

can I put the outfit on glamour plate and use everytime?

faint flare

Yes

pulsar escarp

yep

faint flare
#

Thats basically how you glamour things, one of them anyway

covert berry

but

imagine i switch my battle gear

i gotta use more prisms for the new gear for use the outfit?

faint flare
#

Plates are free to use

covert berry
#

hm

faint flare
#

You just reequip the plate for no cost

#

i thought i needed to glamour prism every single piece of battle gear

Thats if you do it manually

Glamour Dresser FAQ

"What is the Glamour Dresser?"

The Glamour Dresser allows you to glamour an entire set of equipment at once when in a city or town. You can find the dresser in your inn room at any of the Adventurer's guilds.

"How do I use it?"

In order to use the Glamour Dresser you need to first put the items you want to use for glamour inside of it. This requires a one-time cost of one Glamour Prism per item. You're able to safely take out the items, but you'll need to pay another Glamour Prism to put it back into the Dresser. After you have put in the glamour items you want to use for your set you'll want to click on "Edit Glamour Plates".

When the plate window opens up you can select the stored glamours you have onto the slots of the plate to create the set you desire. Once you're satisfied with your glamour click on "Save". You can now apply your Glamour Plate by accessing the Character menu, clicking the Glamour Plate button, and choosing the Plate that you have made.

can I buy outfits from online store in market board?

lone canyon
#

How do I level BSM effectively? Do I "grind" on the same gear?

wintry chasm
#

Well I wouldn't level just BSM 1-80 without doing the others as well for starters

#

because you'll notice very quickly all the items you make will require a bunch of materials the other crafting classes make

#

and it can get kinda expensive buying crafting gear instead of making it yourself and whatnot

lone canyon
#

I see

wintry chasm
#

that aside for your early levels you can just make 1 of every item

#

you get bonus xp for first time completion

lone canyon
#

I just wanna level it to 38

wintry chasm
#

generally I'd go for level 15 or even 20 just doing that first time completion and also mass making a lot of the raw materials like iron ingots and then go into leves and Ishgard restoration yeah

GC turn ins are really good and should be done from day 1, beast tribes are nice too if you want to get into that yeah

#

Hey everyone! Sorry if this has been asked before, but I was wondering what you guys did with your gil once you hit the cap during a free trial, or if you have any recommendations on how to use the excess as to not waste it?

wintry chasm
#

the problem is that there isn't really a good source to spend your gil on immediately

#

If you did some beast tribe quests and ranked them up you'd have a really good source of spending your gil on stuff like their mounts and minions

#

but it just takes weeks to get to that point

main wedge
#

Oh I'll definitely look into that, looks interesting. Thank you!

wintry chasm
#

I really can't think of a vendor item that is actually nice to get that costs anything meaningful

best thing I can think of just "buy fuck tons of dye" lol

actually yeah go unlock all the beast tribes

even without ranking them up you can get decent stuff from their vendors

like Sylphs you can buy some crafting materials you can't buy anywhere else and is kinda nice for when you decide to level them up

that does sound like the best thing to do right now. thank you so much for your help!

#

Hi Discord oracles. Refreshing or using for the first time my higher level BLM stuff. Can you only have one polyglot at a time?

faint flare
#

Until 80

#

You can have 2 at 80

honest anvil
#

but i think the timer for the next polygot still runs even when you have one

faint flare
#

Yes

honest anvil
#

ye, so capitalise on that

winged fossil
#

Ah ok. So the idea is to keep enochian ticking for as long as possible by keeping up even one umbral ice/fire, but using the one polyglot granted every 30s?

faint flare
#

Yes, just doing your rotation keeps it up

winged fossil
#

Once you've activated Enochian, can you just keep it rolling. Great. And how do unbral hearts feature?

faint flare
#

The hearts nullify the increase Mana cost fire spells have while in Astral fire

#

Aka your next 3 fire 4s have reduced mana cost

pseudo quartz
#

The Ixal turn-ins aren't great exp, but relative to the other beast tribes it builds up their reputation pretty fast, and they have the cheap white and black dye

#

But it all ends up low effort levelling with gil that would have gone to waste anyways, so I think it's pretty decent.

honest anvil
#

ixal has a mat for the desynth boost food iirc

#

and they sell III(?) crafting gathering materias for aesthete meld so keep that in mind

pseudo quartz
#

Oh yeah, but inventory management sucks on free trial since you don't have retainers available

main wedge
#

I'm a little confused about the GC turn-ins, what are those?

boreal storm
#

GC wants certain items from a craft/gather class, give them it for exp and seals

#

You can also give them dungeon/blue text gear for seals eventually

pseudo quartz
#

Basically whatever grand company you chose will at some rank start asking you about giving in items in exchange for seals and crafting/gathering exp

#

And because a lot of the things you can craft are weapons and armor, shops sell a lot of what they can request

main wedge
#

Ooooooh okay, I get it now

pseudo quartz
#

Even for gathering, a lot of the vendors at the crafting jobs sell things like early ores or cooking ingredients too

main wedge
#

I'll definitely get onto that, thank you!

#

This is actually pretty cool, didn't know I could do that

pseudo quartz
#

GC stuff in general is weird because it doesn't tell you a lot about what it does unless you go looking itself

delicate field
#

Turning in HQ gives double reward

Which world should I pick?

You can play on any world on any datacenter within FFXIV. Aside from the languages spoken, the physical location of the servers, and the status of each world, there are no major differences.

The majority of content is cross-world, with the exception of Free Companies, Linkshells, and restrictions when visiting other worlds.

If you don't mind where you play, choose a world that is Preferred or New for character creation bonuses. Check world status by using !status <world name> or via the Lodestone. For information about the status types, use !faq worldtype.

Notable worlds:

  • Balmung & Mateus (Role-playing)
  • Tonberry & Kujata (Large amount of Oceanic players)
  • Moogle (Large amount of French players)
  • Shiva (Large amount of German players)

Tldr it doesn't matter

Oof, thanks for the BLM tips. Got called into duty halfway through, and it's the first actually hardish dungeon i've had to do where i have most of my skills available. SO much mana balancing, what a faff! Quite hard. Did not realise that Flare was literally 10,000 mana.

BLM I'm gonna have to hit the books on (read the guides properly)

faint flare

And Everything is cross server

rugged shuttle
#

Alright thanks

glossy flare
#

Like "activity" doesn't matter because yeah, everything is cross server

vernal urchin
#

You can play with all people within a data center so specific servers matter little other than joining FCs

#

Plus they're gonna be introducing cross data center stuff at some point

rough anchor

is there a way to pick which retainer gets suspended when i stop paying the extra service?
I wanted to suspend the 2nd one i hired.
I tried changing their order with the cog icon in the top, but the one that got suspended is still the 3rd one i got

twilit arch
#

First two are always the active ones

rough anchor
twilit arch
#

so if you want to change the order you'd have to dismiss one of them

rough anchor
#

so if i'd ever want a 3rd again, i'll have to get them to 80 again

#

ugh

vernal urchin
#

Once you start paying for additional retainers again, they'd just become available again

jade lava
#

hey i have the game downloaded on steam, how can i move the game to another drive?

vernal urchin
#

You won't have to make a new one, unless you wanted to dismiss them and make a new one

sage mist
#

Is this a place I can ask about ACT?

little swift
#

yes

little swift
jade lava
#

i saw somewhere that i should go to properties and then local files but i don't see the option to move

sage mist
#

Awesome. Hopefully I'm not gonna get my account banned for talking about it lol.

I don't really understand how to make my overlay keep counting for an entire dungeon and what button to click to make it reset

little swift
#

and its those properties

#

then local files in those windows

#

and move install folder

little swift
#

and you have to adjust when it stops counting in the options

sage mist
little swift
#

it would jsut be the end encounter in the window afaik

#

not the overlay

sage mist
#

Awesome... I'll adjust that timer too. Also should LB show up as a separate person's dmg?

little swift
#

yes

sage mist
#

Y? is it not tied to the person who casted it?

little swift
#

for the purposes of accurately calculating dps its not

pseudo quartz
#

I mean, the LB gauge isn't an individual thing

#

So I imagine it wouldn't make sense to combine it at all

jade lava
#

i do for any other game but not ff14

raw solstice
#

@sage mist for ending encounter, you can also send in-game chat /e end and it'll end the encounter. Can also put it in a one line macro and press it when you want to manually end an encounter. Just to make it nice and easy so you don't have to tab out to do it

tidal yarrow
#

why does it say "you received x rogue points" even if I am Ninja?

raw solstice
#

you always gain class experience, not job experience

#

jobs are nothing more than classes with the job stone equipped

left moth
#

Rouge is the base class of ninja

tidal yarrow
#

oou okok

raw solstice
#

also covers that weird crossover where both scholar and summoner share arcanist as their base class

mystic topaz
#

Sort of an old question but i am doing my 2nd ARR Relic weapon and i am on the zenith part where you go and do all the fates, is there anywhere i should avoid? Also Is it normal for the quest for zenith to be red and for me to not have anything>

true axle
#

the atma step right?

#

read your journal it tells you what zones to farm in

little swift
# jade lava i don't see the move install folder option in this window
true axle
#

you need one from each zone!

#

make sure you have the zenith equipped when you farm

little swift
#

there are some zones without an atma

true axle
#

^

raw solstice
mystic topaz
#

So its not giving me a quest

#

is that okay?

true axle
#

its not a quest

little swift
#

yes its fine that its not a quest

mystic topaz
#

okay

frosty falcon
#

quick recruit a friend question. i recruited my gf the other day and i got the gold chocobo feathers in the mail right away as a recruiter but she hasn't gotten her recruitee items (friendship circlet, silver feathers, etc) yet. are we missing something? she tried the button in the mail to request delivery already

left moth
#

How long has she subscribed?

frosty falcon
#

she's still on the inital 30 days from upgrading from trial to complete

vernal urchin
#

I believe she'll get them when she starts paying for the sub, after the free month has expired

left moth
#

Yeah free time doesnt count

frosty falcon
#

ok thank you

lethal mist
#

A question about voice actors: Are any changed? I swear Merlwyb sounds different now that I started Heavensward and Tataru too. I could be mistaken ofc.

faint flare
#

Yes

#

Vas Change in heavensward

#

To a better studio

little swift
#

yes all the VAs were changed at the start of HW and they're consistent from that point forward

lethal mist
#

ALL the VA's?

agile laurel
#

yep

little swift
#

all the english VAs anyways

agile laurel
#

i believe a couple may have changed after that but only one or two

faint flare
#

The contract with the original studio expired

lethal mist
#

Alphinaud sounds the same tho....

faint flare
#

And they went with a new one

little swift
#

the ones that change after that are due to real life circumstances

#

such as passing away

agile laurel
#

alphinaud is a shocking difference once you get used to the new one

lethal mist
#

Funnily Alph is the one that isn't that different to my ears lol

#

At least not yet

agile laurel
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

i know me going back and hearing ARR alphinaud is a trip

#

but yes, every VA was changed

oak ice
#

WHATever do you meeeeeeeaaaaaaaan, dear sisTER?

lethal mist
#

At any rate, I getter get used to it. So far Merlwyb and Tataru are both "worse" for me but nothing major really.

hoary kayak
#

english VAs rcdKek

agile laurel
#

Mm, Merlwyb sounds a bit more gritty which I feel reflects her character, and tataru is just, uh

#

british

royal steeple
#

So uh I dinged 80 a couple days ago

#

But my ilvl is barely 410. How would I go about gearing up for the current savage/normals?

faint flare
#

!faq gearguide

zinc orbitBOT
royal steeple
#

Thanks

faint flare
#

If you wanna shortcut it, buy HQ Exarchic

royal steeple
#

What's that? Sorry im like

#

Totally lost with current terminology lol

faint flare
#

Crafted gear

#

On market

royal steeple
#

I last played a couple years ago, got geared up pretty quick

#

Without crafted gear at that point but

#

I'm gonna try and replicate that this time around too

faint flare
#

Then you go farm tomes

royal steeple
#

I guess I should aim to just do my roulettes and exchange the allegory tomestones for a wep and then the rest

#

That stuff goes up to ilvl 490?

faint flare
#

Allegory is 490

royal steeple
#

Hmm

faint flare
#

You'll need eden raids to get the blades to buy the weapon

royal steeple
#

Will that be enough to enter e9-e11s?

faint flare
#

Farm tomes, do eden/nier raids for gear

#

Promise needs 485

#

So

#

Yes

#

In normal

#

Savage needs 500, 510 for 11s and 12s

royal steeple
#

Gotcha

#

Guess im farming tomes then yeah lol

#

Should bring me up to 480-490 and I guess ill do e9-12 normal after that

tame plinth
#

is it possible to disable the M1+M2 movement?

cunning silo
#

how do i make Gil leveling up my professions or is it just a Gil sink?

royal steeple
#

I think leveling profs is a sink but once you max out you can make your money back in spades. Id look for a second opinion though, dont take my word for it

faint flare
#

Check the market

vernal urchin
#

The leveling process for crafting is typically a gil sink

faint flare
#

And sell the stuff you make

#

Dont buy mats or gear

#

And its not a gil sink

#

Just time

vernal urchin
#

Depends on how lazy you are with how you get your mats yeah

cunning silo
#

kk thx guuys

faint cloud
#

How long is the moogle tomestone thing for?

tame plinth
#

till 5.5

cunning silo
#

i dont have much gil newish to game so was wondering

faint flare
#

April 13th

worthy rain
#

Is patch 5.5 release date middle April right?

After that patch, comes another (5.55) or not But directly 6.0?

faint flare
#

For moogle

faint cloud
#

Thx

open coral
#

Yes, after 5.5 there will be a 5.55 patch before 6.0 comes out.

faint flare
#

April 13th for 5.5. May for part 2 of the story

royal steeple
#

Is there another primal on the way?

faint flare
#

Diamond weapon

royal steeple
#

I think i might try farming the latest EX primal

faint flare
#

To finish the weapon series

royal steeple
#

For my wep

#

Ooo neat

faint flare
#

It will drop 525 weapons

royal steeple
#

So ill have allegory pieces and a primal wep

#

What about presently?

faint flare
#

Emerald is 515

royal steeple
#

Yea that'll do

faint flare
#

You need i500 iirc

royal steeple
#

To enter?

faint flare
#

Yes

#

So diamond will require higher

royal steeple
#

Interesting

#

Im probably gonna go in with like full 480/490 lol

faint flare
#

You'll ideally have Eden promise Normal gear/Law order armour from Delerum, ultimately Cryptlurker

#

No one will let you in

royal steeple
#

Maybe get my fc to help me out

faint flare
#

With that

royal steeple
#

My fc will probably lol

faint flare
#

You'll die to basic raid wides

royal steeple
#

Would i?

faint flare
#

Yes

royal steeple
#

Even if i meld vit?

faint flare
#

You cant

royal steeple
#

Damn thats lame cause I

faint flare
#

Vit melds are a thing of the past

royal steeple
#

Cheezed my prog 2 years ago for sigma

#

Yeah

#

That was how lmao

#

Man thats lame

faint flare
#

No carries here

royal steeple
#

I already know I can perform

#

LOL

#

That's just obnoxious tbh

#

But if thats how it is all that means is

#

I gotta spend some time farming normal e9-12

#

Which i was gonna do anyway

#

Alright npnp minor setback

#

I have a plan to work with lmao

#

Thanks !

faint flare
#

The weekly lock (minus weapon tokens) for normal are removed next patch so getting 510 is piss easy

#

Law order from Delerum helps filter in

#

And the nier raid 520 weekly next patch

willow cipher
#

Hey. Does any one know how I can unlock SB and ShB trials in Stone Sky Sea?
I can't seem to find the NPC with the quest to unlock it

faint flare
#

Ontop od the coins to upgrade Cryptlurker

royal steeple
#

LOL so we'll see if that's achievable

faint flare
#

Not happening unless you buy Exarchic

#

Due to weekly locks

royal steeple
#

Hmm you dont think I could hit 500 in 5 days?

#

Even with weekly locks it should still be doable

faint flare
#

500 sure, you'll need to augment the allegory

remote lintel
#

all the 500+ gear is weekly locked

faint flare
#

So need to farm hunts or nier raid

royal steeple
#

Above 500 yea

remote lintel
#

except the relic weapon

royal steeple
#

God i hated eureka lmao

#

No relics for me chief

faint flare
#

Anything above 500 is weekly locked

royal steeple
#

Yea thats fine

faint flare
#

Bojza is better, logos actions immediately make it better

royal steeple
#

If i can crack 500 im hard chillin

faint flare
#

I500 is full augmented allegory

#

So farm nier raids and Shadowbringers hunts to buy the augments

winged fossil
#

Is the lvl 70 omega armor only available after a certain locked point?

tidal yarrow
#

what can I do with nier coins?

heavy wadi
#

you need to do the omega raids

remote lintel
#

augment gear

tidal yarrow
#

oh i see

cunning silo
#

what mount speed is the riding tokens for this event

heavy wadi
#

don't buy them, they're obsolete because of flying

winged fossil
#

Alphascape data logs, or armor itself, dropped from alphascape savage raid... Only savage level? And I guess that only is available at a certain point in MSQ. Is it MSQ SB or post-SB content.

Separate question: dungeons, trials, raids can be un-rated/normal, hard, savage, extreme... What's the order of difficulty? Obviously normal is easier than hard.

faint flare
#

Savage directly drops the dyeable version

#

Ontop of 1 book each clesr

#

You need base Stormblood done to access omega

heavy wadi
#

^

faint flare
#

Normal mode drops tokens for undyeable version and needs to be done first to unlock savage

tidal yarrow
#

is there anywhere i can see all the nier glamours?

faint flare
#

Normal/hard mode > 24mand > extremes > savage >>>> ultimates

remote lintel
winged fossil
#

Got it, thanks. I just got to Yanxia. Feels like forever until I will complete main SB. Thanks for the help.

hmm, the table is nice but doesnt show when the hair style was added
just to be sure, the new hair ctyles that were added after 5.0, do I need to unlock/buy them or were they just added to the barber NPC?

strange coral
heavy wadi
#

you have to go get them

faint flare
#

All of them need to be acquired

heavy wadi
#

a lot of the ones released in shb are locked behind firmament

strange coral
#

There's 2 from Bozja stuff. Also should be noted that the Sharlayan Studies in the list I linked is in the game data, but not available

jagged crow
#

Anyone know how to fix this?

#

My buddy just got a new monitor

#

and limsa is buggin

heavy wadi
#

this wouldn't be a monitor problem

#

it's the graphics card

#

has he installed the latest drivers, etc?

jagged crow
#

he didn't have the issue till he plugged in his new monitor

#

he said his graphics are up to date

#

nvm it was (LOD)

#

that's what fixed it

#

I got a new question, does the location of a fc house change the trim/pillars inside the private rooms?

slate arrow
#

No

#

A private room is just an apartment

agile laurel
#

uh... yes. it does.

#

a mist-based FC house will vary the trim

jagged crow
#

You are 100% positive? I want to move to the lavender beds but I have a glitch set up in my room with the pillars

#

okay so it does

#

stuck the the mists I am

#

The trim lets me have this above my bedroom

slate arrow
#

Oh I thought you meant like

#

Plot location

#

As in the plot number place

#

not the district

upper zodiac
#

When should I make my first job change? I just unlocked Bard and I want to switch to Lancer to unlock Dragoon but I’m not sure if I should keep leveling Bard.

strange coral
#

Whenever you want.

remote lintel
#

then switch to lancer

faint flare
#

You can swap classes after lv10 class quest

#

When you want to is whenever

heavy wadi
#

switch as you wish

upper zodiac
#

I’m just wondering if there’s a recommended path. Like level something to 50 or w/e before moving on for any reason.

#

Cool thanks

faint flare
#

It doesn't matter

upper zodiac
#

Will That make my effective level level 1 or how does that translate to stats?

faint flare
#

Job levels dont mean anything

heavy wadi
#

ppl sometimes recommend getting all classes to 30 at the least but it doesn't matter

faint flare
#

You'll be back to lv1

remote lintel
#

you will be a lvl 1 lancer

faint flare
#

There's no character level

upper zodiac
#

So I should grind up lancer before continuing the MSQ then, right?

remote lintel
#

you will have to

faint flare
#

Your level is your currents job level

slate arrow
#

You have to, yes

remote lintel
#

since you cant accept quests on a lower level

heavy wadi
#

if you want to play it in msq yes

upper zodiac
#

But I could switch to bard at any time to continue the MSQ if I want to

remote lintel
#

yes

upper zodiac
#

Awesome thanks

do you have to reach floor 100 on potd beforehand to prog to floor 200?

in what are is HoH?

faint flare
gritty oracle
sinful breach
#

as in you cant just reach floor 51 for the first time

faint flare
#

If you wipe at any point that save file is dead

#

And can't go to 101+

sinful breach
#

and then run 51-100 with a premade group

faint flare
#

101+ are challenge floors

#

You MUST be in a fixed party

sinful breach
#

yeah i know that but im making sure for a friend

faint flare
#

With no wipes on the save file

sinful breach
#

because they havent done potd at all

#

so can we just bump him to 51 and then run with a fixed party to 200

faint flare
#

Yes

sinful breach

because im not sure how it works when you hit 100 for the 1st time

How do I become a crafting mentor so I can rejoin NN

heavy wadi
#

that's very much not an easy task

remote lintel
#

its pretty easy

heavy wadi
#

and if you did so you'd be expected to be teaching, not to learn advice

aha... yeah... right

Anyway to get my sprout back?

agile laurel
#

no

vital ruin
#

Big rip

you're a big boy now :p

So many new mechanics

#

I don't wanna be floor tank

heavy wadi
#

look up guides

delicate field
#

just blame the healer instead lol

agile laurel
#

on the basis that the mentor system is a fucking joke, the reqs for crafting mentor are
-have a dol to 80
-have a doh to 80
-get 300 dol collectables
-get 100 doh collectables

heavy wadi
#

nn can't help with that really

strange coral
#

If you have a dol and doh at 80, you just need to gather and make a bunch of collectibles. Can even be level 50 ones.

modest igloo
#

i mean trade mentor technically only has to know about crafting

vital ruin
#

300 dol collectibles won't be easy

#

Dol collectibles are fucking boring

heavy wadi
#

not really

remote lintel
#

just takes time

delicate field
#

oh it's very easy. I gather more than that in one run

modest igloo
#

you dont have to get a high rating

vital ruin
#

Wait what

heavy wadi
#

just go get dated radz-at-han coins lol

vital ruin
#

Ohh

modest igloo
#

just collect as soon as you start and it counts

vital ruin
#

Radz at what

jagged crow
#

There is 0 reason that a healer can survive a dps and tank in frontline

delicate field

for the DoL collectibles you'll gather 300 by the time you start buying some of the yellow scrip stuff

remote lintel
#

i mean

#

its possible

vital ruin
#

Dammit I miss the NN

delicate field
#

become a craft mentor and you can get back in lol

vital ruin
#

Where do I even apply

#

And how do I avoid mentoring

delicate field
#

the sprout icon on the map

#

blacksmith or something hes called

vital ruin
#

Ohh

delicate field
#

there's one in the arcanist guild in limsa

vital ruin
#

Nice I'm heading there

delicate field
#

click "apply for mentor" and he'll tell you the requirements

vital ruin
#

And how do I avoid mentoring

delicate field
#

what does that mean lol

strange coral
#

Just don't mentor

vital ruin
#

But I need access to NN

delicate field
#

its just an icon you dont actually have to help anyone

vital ruin
#

Ohh

strange coral
#

Don't answer questions in NN if you don't know the answer

vital ruin
#

Nice nice

#

battle mentors get access to mentor roulette

Yeah fuck that

how many tomes of rev do you get for using mentor roulette?

Gather or catch 300 collectibles
Does only 300 doh collectibles count

#

Or both 300 doh and dol

modest igloo
#

did you miss the other requirement of 100 crafted ones?

vital ruin
#

There's only 4

#

I already meet 2

#

Need to be a lv 80 dol and gather or catch 300 collectibles

#

My miner is 78

delicate field
#

you need all of those requirements

vital ruin
#

Ya

modest igloo
#

then you are already done with doh for that

delicate field
#

miner t 80 will be so easy with some crystarium leves

vital ruin
#

I've a doubt is it 300 both dol and doh collectibles or either

strange coral
#

The 300 is dol only

vital ruin
#

I just started shb

#

Fuck

modest igloo
#

you can't gather with doh lol

strange coral
#

There is a separate requirement for 100 doh

delicate field
#

you need the achievement "I Collected That I"

#

check your achievements to see how far along you are that's the 300 DoL ones

vital ruin
#

I don't see any 100 doh

#

There's only 4 requirements

strange coral
#

I Made That: (Worth Collecting) Synthesize 100 collectables.

Ohh wait

strange coral

It's an achievement

It's there

Synthesis 100 collectibles

it'll let me log in but it won't get me to the start up screen

last patio
#

let me give that a shot super quick then

#

thanks so much for the help btw seriously was driving me up a wall for a while there

@obsidian patio it's not a bait question I'm actually playing with ideas

obsidian patio
#

That still doesn’t change how it’s not related to FFXIV.

jovial tide
#

Which mount is this?

obsidian patio
#

That’s Syldra, from the stormblood collector’s edition.

atomic forge
#

A couple of timing/mechanics questions:

  1. The AoE "danger zone" shows up and pulses twice, then disappears and the enemy starts the animation. Do I need to be out of that zone before it disappears or before the end of the enemies animation?

  2. Are DoTs snapshotted? Specifically, will I get the same value out of being in Astral Fire, casting Thunder, then swapping to Umbral Ice as sitting in Astral Fire for the duration of the Thunder DoT?

#

out of zone before disappearance

faint flare
#
  1. before the casr finishes/it disappears
robust crow
#

astral fire doesn't benefit thunder damage

faint flare
#
  1. dots snapshot
robust crow
#

it doesn't matter when you cast thunder

#

but yes dots snapshot

#

if anything you would want to get your thunder cast off while under raid buffs

obsidian patio
#

The only exception to the rule is ground-placed DoTs, like Doton, with buffs/debuffs on the enemy.

pulsar escarp
#

aoe zone and cast will stay there for roughly same time so the cast time of the boss is basically your indicator for how long you got (usually)

analog gate
#

most attacks snapshot your position when the boss castbar ends/when the AoE marker disappears
but there's some that use animation too

robust crow
#

a decent chunk of damage on dot-based classes (bard and summoner) comes from getting a snapshot of their dots while under all raid buffs

#

it's not as big a deal for BLM but it certainly wouldn't hurt

atomic forge
#

thanks all

#

Does the recast of a DoT extend the initial DoT or apply a new instance of it?

robust crow
#

a new instance

atomic forge
#

kk

robust crow
#

if you recast your dot while under raid buffs then it completely overwrites your existing dot with the stronger one

faint flare
#

New instance, new snapshot of it

#

There's no dot extenders left, they removed those

analog gate
#

bard still have iron jaws no?

slate arrow
#

Yes

robust crow
#

not an extender

faint flare
#

Thats a new application

robust crow
#

just a refresher

faint flare
#

Not a extendee

slate arrow
#

!action Iron Jaws

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Iron Jaws** : lvl 56 BRD (2.5 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Delivers an attack with a potency of 100.
Additional Effect: If the target is suffering from a Caustic Bite or Stormbite effect inflicted by you, the effect timer is reset
Additional Effect: 35% chance of becoming Straight Shot Ready
Duration: 10s

slate arrow
#

"reset"

#

Dammit ffxiv be better with your words

analog gate
#

extender means use the same buff snapshots as the previous one?

faint flare
#

No

#

Wait yes

robust crow
#

they don't exist anymore so the point is moot anyway

faint flare
#

A extender was Heavensward Contagion

#

For Summoner

analog gate
#

i see, so that used to exist

faint flare
#

Which flat added 15s

#

To all summoner dots you had up

robust crow
#

do the nier raids require completion of any MSQ other than 5.0?

#

wondering if people fresh to ShB would be able to run nier 3 when it releases

#

or if they need to finish 5.3 or whatever first

faint flare
#

Just 5.0 for now

leaden ginkgo
#

what wall is this?

tidal yarrow
#

where can I see how the new irrgular tomestones mounts look :o

remote lintel
#

google images

strange coral
tidal yarrow
#

ninja gear is scouting right?

slate arrow
#

Scouting for left side and Aiming for right and belt

strange coral
#

Scouting for belt too

frozen wind
#

is there a discord for summoners?

#

i heard how league of legends and wow have a main discord and was wondering iff ff had one too?

obsidian patio
#

The balance discord is the main one for endgame guides/min-maxing, they also have channels specific for each jobs.

frozen wind
#

Thank you!

wispy totem
#

where is the mist in game? gridania?

heavy wadi
#

it's limsa housing

wraith gull
#

Have question

#

I tried to buy a set from ffxiv store

atomic forge
#

If Blue Mage were a complete job I wouldn't have any trouble deciding on a main I imagine.

wraith gull
#

Payment was error and i got charged

#

Didn't get the item i want or receive email that payment was complete

wispy totem
#

So you were charged, it initially said payment error (when you tried purchasing) and it still charged your payment method. And you didn't recieve any items or confirmation of paymenet?

wispy totem
#

One sec. lemme give you a link. Fill out the form, and either select (contact via phone) or (contact via live chat) Whichever you prefer -

wraith gull
#

Thanks alot:c

wispy totem
#

Follow the steps and you can contact somone immediately. You just need to fill out the paperwork first

#

If you do it via normal SE website, you'll have to wait potentially weeks on a email they send. That link I sent you, is immediate response via live chat with customer support, or you can get the number to call the guy who's on customer support.

wraith gull
#

I see i did sent an email but they didn't respond

#

Thanks alot

wispy totem
#

np

#

what's the residential area for ul dah called?

strange coral
#

The Goblet

tepid jackal
#

when something like that happened with payment issues the money just reappeared back in my account after a couple days

flat yew
#

how do y'all organize your hotbars? do you group skills by their effects, or set them up in a way that makes it easy to rotate?

heavy wadi
#

just however works for you

heavy wadi
#

i usually have my main attacks as my 1 2 3

flat yew
#

I'm kinda having problems with getting the muscle memory down, especially with new skills joining in and me trying to fit them into my current setup

#

e.g. for a swift rez I still click on both skills with my mouse

severe stirrup
#

is there a place to download a UI or HUD setup? not like a mod or antyhing like that but uh, this thing.

flat yew
#

pretty sure you can't share you HUD as a file others can import

severe stirrup
#

damn. I thought I saw somewhere you can back it up

flat yew
#

unless it lets you export your backup

strange coral
#

You can for your own character. Not sure if you can swap the files between characters though

heavy wadi
#

cntrl 0

#

god why

wispy totem
#

How long is the que for customer support MEL?

flat yew
#

is there something I can use to practice rotations akin to a combo guide for fighting games or do I just search up a rotation and try to follow it until I remember everything?

heavy wadi
#

there's practice dummies

flat yew
#

and when do things like proper openers and rotations begin to matter?

crystal bluff
#

Level 80

heavy wadi
#

yeah max level

flat yew
#

so I can just do the content up to max without them or should I try to still learn before?

#

I'm like in the middle of ShB right now

obsidian patio
#

Having a general understanding of your rotation is always important.

heavy wadi
#

you should have a general idea of your rotation

#

but it doesn't especially matter till max

#

just don't "freestyle"

flat yew
#

"SCH go brrrrroil" galaxysquid

frosty falcon
#

your rotation will change as you level up and your options change too

severe stirrup
#

I had all the skills on my bar before 80 so I would get use to a general order

obsidian patio
#

You can usually follow the level 80 guides and just cut out the skills that you don’t have

#

Wesk Alber on YouTube also does leveling rotation guides

flat yew
#

some of the SCH rotations i've seen make a lot of use of energy drain which kinda scares me

heavy wadi
#

yeah

#

openers are super important for healer dps

flat yew
#

often times I depend on having 3 stacks of aetherflow up because someone in my team doesn't know how to not die

heavy wadi
#

use dissipate if you need panic aetherflow

leaden ginkgo
#

When does aetherflow come into effect on sch? I’m only level 38-39

#

40?

obsidian patio
#

!action lustrate

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Lustrate** : lvl 45 SCH (1.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Restores target's HP.
Cure Potency: 600 Additional Effect: Increases Faerie Gauge by 10
Aetherflow Gauge Cost: 1

obsidian patio
#

45

flat yew
#

you also get a second bar around lvl 70

modest igloo
#

i thought energy drain was 40?

flat yew
#

ED is also 45

obsidian patio
#

!action aetherflow

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Aetherflow** : lvl 45 SCH (60.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Restores 10% of maximum MP.
Additional Effect: Aetherflow III
Can only be executed while in combat.

pseudo quartz
#

all 45

modest igloo
#

then i thought wrong

leaden ginkgo
#

Gotcha, I will have to re-do my rotation at that point then

pseudo quartz
#

You definitely don't have to worry too much that early on, but I suppose

leaden ginkgo
#

So when does SCH get its full kit? 70?

flat yew
#

80

modest igloo
#

80

heavy wadi
#

all classes get their full kit at 80

little swift
#

80 because thats when you don't get any more skills

modest igloo
#

SCH's rotation is pretty simple, you dont need to learn it until 80 anyways

winged fossil
#

At 80 are you still limited to three aethers?

glossy flare
#

yup

hallow sparrow
#

Is there any other way to fast forward story?

glossy flare
hallow sparrow
#

Oh i can actualy skip it?

winged fossil
#

That’s what I don’t love about SCH, it’s just they extra bit of scarcity I don’t get with AST or WHM

wintry chasm
glossy flare
winged fossil
hallow sparrow
#

How much is it?

winged fossil
#

And/or you can boost your job level.

hallow sparrow
#

Will that skip get me lvl up aswell or just story skip?

glossy flare
#

Yeah be aware it is not a lvl boost

winged fossil
#

Like £15 I want to say

glossy flare
#

it just completes the story quests

obsidian patio
#

The cost depends on how much you want to skip

winged fossil
#

Lvl boost separate and per job

obsidian patio
#

It ranges from $15 to $25 depending on what you choose

hallow sparrow
#

We are talking about msq?

winged fossil
#

Yes

obsidian patio
#

Yes

hallow sparrow
#

Wuuuut! Now i have to buy it

delicate field
#

but then you'll miss the story 😦

hallow sparrow
#

Will that gona make me aquire also items from msq?

winged fossil
#

It’s tempting I know, cos there are very slow parts. But also amazing parts of story (and I hated cutscenes at the start with a visceral passion). I found boosting a couple of jobs was better. Ones I knew I would never level organically and I could mess around with them.

hoary kayak
#

might as well not play it at all rcdKek

heavy wadi
#

It's definitely recommended to not skip the story.

wintry chasm
heavy wadi
#

This is an rpg first, mmo second, if you're expecting to rush into endgame content fine you'd have a tough time

hallow sparrow
#

But i can go and get that fantasia done?

winged fossil
#

If you level boost a job you get a full set of armor etc. It’s cool. The game won’t make sense if you skip the story though.

hallow sparrow
#

Hm

wintry chasm
hallow sparrow
#

I prolly should maybe listen to you

winged fossil
#

You still woukd have to go through ShB anyway.

heavy wadi
#

there's no real rush anyways

#

next expac doesn't come out till the fall

winged fossil
#

I was new to the game 7 weeks ago. I had similar thoughts. But the story gets much much better and really good. You get used to the pace. You have ages to do the story. But for cash you can do what you like and zero judgement from me.

hallow sparrow
#

Can i somehow in settings turn all cutscenes off?

winged fossil
#

Stick with it. Intersperse your story with dungeons and fights etc to liven it up.

delicate field
#

but they're the best part of the story lol

wintry chasm
#

Well there is one for dungeon cutscenes

#

otherwise no

winged fossil
#

You can skip them by pressing escape (most of them). But they become way more bearable, I promise. The characters become likeable (especially with the actors changing in Hw - much better acting).

#

Ultimately play it how you like because on the subject of skips there are often a lot of opinions.

little swift
flat yew
#

just did the titania fight... how much harder will fights get from this point on?

little swift
#

titania is an msq fight

signal aspen
#

how does a warrior's rotation look like at 50?

little swift
#

it won't be any more or less difficult than that

#

its mostly 123 and trying to use as many inner beasts as you can inside berserk

flat yew
#

I mean how much harder will content get from titania onward

raven sage
#

It really doesn't

little swift
#

it'll be about that much difficulty

raven sage
#

People just make Titania harder than it really is

fading helm
#

how do i put silver ore inside narrow fissure

#

to lure out coblyns?

little swift
#

msq is not supposed to be difficult

#

target the interactable area and use your key item

fading helm
#

ohhh

flat yew
#

no no no, I don't mean the msq but content in general. we wiped like thrice to titania so I was worried about how much harder endgame will be haha

fading helm
#

didnt know u could od that thanks

winged fossil
wintry chasm
little swift
#

titania wipes are just people being bad

#

not the content being tough

flat yew
#

okie

winged fossil
little swift
#

so you won't have access or a chance to use all your tools

winged fossil
#

Exactly.

little swift
#

do your job quests to completion for aetherpact

winged fossil
#

Frustrating.

little swift
#

but 9 aetherflows every 2 minutes is plenty with fairy actions as well

winged fossil
#

I’ve done all my jobs for HW

hallow sparrow
#

Havent watched a single cutscene yet tbhTank

wispy totem
#

Does Melediction of water (blue spell#98) push your teamates? (Kinda like rescue)?

winged fossil
#

It’s just getting the chance to test them but that’ll come.

little swift
#

and you're almost reaching the point where you get excog to use in dungeons

glossy flare
#

In more casual content I sometimes even find myself sitting on some leftover aetherflow after a pull

#

It's honestly more than enough

winged fossil
glossy flare
#

And assuming everyone plays their parts, tanks especially with their mitigation

wintry chasm
#

no no

glossy flare
#

If they pointed you towards Ankh Mhorning then... that's a good site
