boreal storm

Greased lightning
shrewd owl
thats basically monk’s shtick
boreal storm
I know it’s because Greased Lightning, I was just wondering if there was a reason
glossy flare
Before the rework they had to get stacks of Greased Lightning
Which needed to be maintained
But that was a hassle because uptime is a thing
So they changed it to just being perma speedy
little swift
it wasn't so much so that uptime was a hassle
it was because losing it to downtime just felt bad
like really bad
like driving on a freeway for 30 minutes and then moving to a 20mph road bad
glossy flare
That's what I mean, yeah. Your dps just went down the drain until you got those stacks back
little swift
it was just a general quality of life change because of how long you had to take to regain all 4 stacks
without perfect balance this took 12gcds
soft flicker
people tell me to do leves for getting from 70-80 crafters, is that because its just faster?
delicate field
yes
soft flicker
okay thats good to know then
delicate field
you'll get like 6-10 million xp per turn in
soft flicker
since ive been doing ishgardian restoration haha
delicate field
I did ishgardian restorration on all crafters till 70, bought the handking, then did leves till 80 and bought handsaint
delicate field
yeah yellow ones
soft flicker
okay good, not too bad to get then
delicate field
and if you turn in a HQ item for leves, you get double rewards. never turn in a NQ
soft flicker
okay cool cool, someone told me it was free but im assuming they just meant cheap?
delicate field
oh it's not free. you'll need the materials to craft it. they want armor and stuff
soft flicker
yeah i assumed leves couldnt be free
delicate field
and you'll need stuff from other classes as well
soft flicker
wonder what they meant when they told me that
ashen rover
What's the best way to go about upgrading my companion? In terms of food for training, cosmetic gear to dress up the birb, color, etc.
delicate field
well you get like 10k gil per turn in
soft flicker
i have all classes at 71, then gsm at 73 and culinarian at 80, so i can craft stuff for eachother atleast
delicate field
oh yes you're good lol
soft flicker
oh, which leves are they btw? kinda an important question i guess lol
delicate field
culinarian is the easiest way to get scrips btw. for yellow you make that cofffee thing, second from the last craft

I am doing my second ARR Relic quest. I just found all the atma stuff, when i go to Rowena start the animus books. The guide i am reading says If this is your second time working on a Zeta weapon, make sure you pick up the four quests needed for the Zodiac Braves quest. Can anyone explain that step?

Hi guys! I am new, i tried the game like few months ago. Now i want to play further, but i cant login my account cuz i dont have the game. So wtf. How the trial works?

@mystic topaz first i want to try it. I dont want to buy the game then the subscription and then quit after a week or so.
@raven sage i played the trial

Did you reinstall the game?
high spruce
@strange coral yes
frosty falcon
Hi guys! I am new, i tried the game like few months ago. Now i want to play furt...
if you had a trial account you should just be able to log back in. but if you bought the game before you'll need to buy a sub to continue playing
strange coral
You might have installed the wrong launcher. The trial launcher is separate I believe.
high spruce
@frosty falcon i didnt bought the game
raven sage
And you reinstalled the trial launcher? From the same platform as well
mystic topaz
If you've done all you can do in the game so you need to actually buy the game and sub to keep playing thats how trials work its just a taste.
high spruce
@strange coral then where can i download? I need to log in in the site, but i cant cuz they said i already played trial or smth like that.

Are you in a party with someone not hitting it?

tell your party member to stop sleeping

@strange coral and what happens if i buy the game after i enjoy the trial? Do i need to download again the non trial verison?
frosty falcon
<@84055702980526080> and what happens if i buy the game after i enjoy the trial?...
the trial version can be patched to the retail version
it's a big patch when you buy the game, especially if you buy complete version and it needs to dl the expansions

base is 20 and all expansions are 40 each, but you can buy the complete edition which is base plus all expansions for 60 total
midnight burrow
the entirety of the story is solo, save for dungeons and boss fights throughout
how many ppl required for those dungeons and boss fights? i typically like to play alone or with a handful of others. is there a lot of areas where I must group up w/ larger groups?

dungeons are 4 players, the larger bosses are 8
frosty falcon
How much now to get everything? The full game?
there's two ways to get the whole game and both cost 60USD. either complete edition (60) or starter edition (20) plus latest expansion (40)
midnight burrow
ok thanks again. you guys are wonderful.
heavy wadi
rest assured most of the stuff the story makes you do isn't super intensive or anything
frosty falcon
yeah generally story challenges are pretty easy, optional challenges are harder
midnight burrow
ah ok
high spruce

So like wow a few year ago? You need buy the base game without the last expansion, then u need to buy the last expansion, then the subscription?
heavy wadi
yep
frosty falcon
buying the base game does include your first 30 days though
high spruce
Such a greedy company 😄
frosty falcon
just big ones instead lmao
devout lichen
what is the performance thing in abilities supposed to be, is that for instruments or what, or for bard?
cuz it's still grayed out
raven sage
Yes bards can play instruments for fun
frosty falcon
it is a little expensive compared to other mmorpgs but i think it's a better game too
raven sage
It's an unlock in gridania
high spruce
I don't understand. Why are u talkin about 4 and 8 players? Isn't this game like wow, and mmorpg? I mean with dungeons, pvps, raids, open world things with a lot of players?

You don't need to move unless an aoe is on the ground under your feet
glossy flare
im gladiator btw
As a gladiator/paladin you are supposed to position the enemies in a way that makes everyone else's life easier. Since you are the tank
high spruce
Hm, i played WoW for like 10+ years. Can you guys compare the game to wow? Just to understand what is exactly this game. I mean, i know nothing about FF XIV
glossy flare
In which case moving around too much is more of a hindrance really
fading helm
ah i see
remote lintel
this game isnt like wow
ionic hazel
is there a way to check my leve allowance ingame without going to a leve npc
high spruce
What is the end game? Grind what, farm what? etc?
modest igloo
unlike wow, endgame is whatever you want it to be. there isnt really a lot of grinding for gear
high spruce
What new expansions bring to players? Max level cap? Better gear? Can u play without latest expansion, or not worth?
modest igloo
but the fights are just as mechanically strong
fading helm
i can get to the flying saucer at lv. 15 right?
remote lintel
the story is linear
you have to play the expansions in order
each expansion adds 10 levels
heavy wadi
What new expansions bring to players? Max level cap? Better gear? Can u play wit...
this game is rpg first, mmo second, you need to play them in order
glossy flare
i can get to the flying saucer at lv. 15 right?
It's the gold saucer, but yeah
fading helm
i mean gold saucer yeah
fading helm
is it part of a quest or like does the area just unlock
delicate field
@high spruce is takes more than 200 hours to reach endgame btw
high spruce
this game is rpg first, mmo second, you need to play them in order
😦 Then maybe this game is not for me. That's why i want to play the trial.
glossy flare
i mean gold saucer yeah
assuming you have access to uldah
remote lintel
this is a final fantasy game
frosty falcon
is it part of a quest or like does the area just unlock
there's an introductory quest in uldah that will take you there and get you started
high spruce
<@!282207429566136321> is takes more than 200 hours to reach endgame btw
Pff, then like wow classic XD Another reason for not buy the game lul
fading helm
play the trial, i just got it yesterday its my first mmo
modest igloo
😦 Then maybe this game is not for me. That's why i want to play the trial.
thats totally understandable. personally i dont like how wow does it, and thats ok
high spruce
Ah ye 😄
glossy flare
The trial includes all content up to lvl 60 and is totally free so there's really no harm in giving it a shot
high spruce
But i am just tired after 10+ years of wow, i played a lot Guild Wars 2, and Black Desert too, but i want something new
remote lintel
its takes however long it takes you to do the story, to reach endgame
story locks everything
fading helm
yea i have uldah unlocked its my starting city
delicate field
reaching the end of Trial is like 100 hours? or so?
glossy flare
Yeah, this is not a game where you rush to the end to experience the "real" game
modest igloo
the story is quite good tho, heavensword is just as good as ff7 and ff6 imo
glossy flare
The way there very much is the game
fading helm
so far i have no idea whats going on in the story
high spruce
I just like grinding AF
fading helm
loll
frosty falcon
reaching the end of Trial is like 100 hours? or so?
depends on what you mean by the end. eand of heavensward msq with at least one L60 job?
high spruce
i skip all story text and cinematics in every mmorpg soxd
frosty falcon
or rather end of post-HW
delicate field
yeah end of MSQ with 1 level 60
glossy flare
i skip all story text and cinematics in every mmorpg soxd
Yeah, that's gonna take away a lot from xiv
story is a major part of it
remote lintel
this game isnt really grindy unless you want it to be
and yeah if you skip the story you skip like 80% of the game
fading helm
i just beat the rock golem thing
glossy flare
Not that you can't have fun without the story but it is a huge part of what makes this game good
frosty falcon
at least starting around titan it is. the beginning is slooow
glossy flare
Indeed, though there are people defending even that so may just be personal taste 🤷
high spruce
And is the story only solo? I mean if i play with for example with my GF, can we play together?
Throught the game?
heavy wadi
it's solo yeah, but there's dungeons and trials throughout
high spruce
Eh then totally rip the game for me 😦
frosty falcon
parts of it are forced solo, parts are intended to be soloed but can be done in a party perfectly fine
remote lintel
you can run around in the overworld together but there are some solo instances
heavy wadi
I mean you can still play the story together
remote lintel
and you do dungeons/trials together
frosty falcon
i'm playing with my gf and we occasionally have to break party for a solo duty but do most stuff together
high spruce
Ty guys!
delicate field
the solo instanced content is usually pretty short and not frequent

Are older classes gonna get new moves in endwalker?
modest igloo
why wouldn't they?
jade quartz
Yes all jobs will get new abilities
open ember
all classes will get new skills as well as (probably) a fix on older ones
jade quartz
It’s one of the main draws of an expansion
modest igloo
anywhere from 3-6
glossy flare
They even make marketing material showing off these new fancy moves
So yeah... big draw
jade quartz
Some old ones will be trimmed, some classes will have some existing skills redesigned
And all classes will get new stuff
modest igloo
MCH only got like 3 new things and most people thought it looked awesome
jade quartz
MCH got redesigned...
delicate field
is AST the only class getting a makeover in EW?
obsidian patio
That we explicitly know of? Yes
delicate field
oh have they pulled fast ones and changed without prior notice?
obsidian patio
I think SE still wanted to redo some of monk in 6.0
modest igloo
MCH got redesigned...
we don't talk about the dark days
glossy flare
*we don't talk about the dark days*
Like PLD not having a gap closer?
jade quartz
oh have they pulled fast ones and changed without prior notice?
changes will be announced before the expansion drops
modest igloo
Like PLD not having a gap closer?
shhhhhhhhhhh
obsidian patio
They also had a media tour that showed off the new job kits
But they’ll probably do it different this time around due to coronavirus
jade quartz
There’s a long live letter before the expansion drops where they go through all the changes jobs by job
With English live translation too

@raven burrow was he saying ingame that he's famous or something? lol

haughty ridge
for the will to resist quest, on the resistance weap questline, do i have to run the dungeons as the job im trying to get the weapon for or can i run as whatever?
haughty ridge
oh nice
can i like run it till i have more than six or they wont drop after i get the six i need?
obsidian patio
As much as you want
But they’ll stop dropping once you go to the next step
Unless you get another relic to that step
haughty ridge
good to know, cuz im planning on getting at least 4 xd

do y'all think that deltascape-alphascape is something you can solo?
heavy wadi
no
last patio

obsidian patio
Only if you’re a tank/healer, maybe.

heavy wadi
it'd take much longer to solo than to just queue for
obsidian patio
If you mean savage then definitely not
last patio
only have dps to level and really wanted to knock em out of the way
oh nah just like normal
dps queue's here I come
flat yew
is endgame as linear as the MSQ or should one prepare for it somehow?
zinc orbitBOT
obsidian patio
You can use this to find where the starting quests for various content are.
flat yew
oh? ARR has endgame content?
faint flare
Ofc
slate arrow
Of course
faint flare
It was an old level cap
flat yew
do you get synched to lvl 50 for the ARR content then?
faint flare
Yes
flat yew
oof
faint flare
If qued normally
lethal mist
Is there ever any reason to accept those random gear you get from main quest? Every time I finish Job quests or similar I get a complete set that's massively better.
faint flare
Thatd why everyone unsyncs them
flat yew
ohh, you can do them without the sync
jade quartz
Is there ever any reason to accept those random gear you get from main quest? Ev...
Yes of course
faint flare
You can do all non current expansion content unsync
jade quartz
You only get job sets at level caps
obsidian patio
Is there ever any reason to accept those random gear you get from main quest? Ev...
Job quests can’t keep you completely geared up
jade quartz
Also level cap MSQ gives gear better than the job gear.
lethal mist
I had Wyrm's stuff, then I purchased Irongear, then I got the new Dragonlancer gear. I've never really felt like I was lacking, even if I wasn't fully optimized. The small gear inbetween was almost never an upgrade.
jade quartz
It was.
jade quartz
From level 55 onwards it was all an upgrade to ironworks
flat yew
is the poetics gear at all relevant at 80?
jade quartz
And dragonlancer gear will not last you long
lethal mist
I mean, I got this: Archaeoskin Breeches of maiming as a reward for one quest. Actually worse than the Demon Breeches I got before that. It's all white gear too, not pink or blue (which I assume shows rarity)
faint flare
Rarity means nothing
twilit arch
those archaeoskin breeches were definitely not worse than demon
faint flare
Item level is everything
delicate field
@lethal mist does it have this icon next to it?
jade quartz
Colour doesn’t mean anything about how good it is
frosty falcon
color is kind of arbitrary, ilvl is king
lethal mist
Yes it does
delicate field
that means it's High Quality
lethal mist
How does that play in together with stats?
faint flare
If its higher item level then its automatically better
delicate field
stats are higher
lethal mist
But they aren't?
twilit arch
er well actually, archaeo would be slightly worse than demon
delicate field
no they're higher than the same gear at normal quality
twilit arch
but regardless, colour quality is not end all, be all
jade quartz
Just look at item level.
twilit arch
gives you an idea at a glance but you should be looking at more than just that
jade quartz
Colour is meaningless
delicate field
anyways just sell the stuff you dont need on the market board. ppl will buy it
obsidian patio
Assuming equal item level and high quality if applicable, white/green/blue gear will have equal stat amounts
lethal mist
Yeah ok, sod colour, but every item I've been able to choose so far has had either no or extremely little increase in strength versus what I was wearing already (prior to Dragonlancer gear ofc)
obsidian patio
Color more denotes where it comes from
lethal mist
Yes I know, but out of like, 5-10 things maybe 1 has been a slight upgrade.
The rest worse.
jade quartz
That’s not accurate.
As I said
Literally everything you get in the MSQ after level 55
lethal mist
I'm only looking at the STR stat really
jade quartz
Is better than ironworks
If you believe otherwise you are misremembering or mistaken.
wintry chasm
ARR best gear is just better than starting Heavensward stuff
tender ice
Once I unlock level 50/60/70 dungeons on an alt job, should I just use that to level instead of leveling dungeons?
lethal mist
Quest levels and mobs are around 52-53
twilit arch
no
slate arrow
every increase in item level is about a +5% to your overall stats in general
It adds up
twilit arch
50/60/70 dungeons do not give good experience @tender ice
tender ice
stick to leveling?
slate arrow
Yes
tender ice
gotcha, cheers
wintry chasm
^ true
lethal mist
I'll just keep on playing, anything not better, should I instead get allagan gold?
jade quartz
The gear probably sells on the marketboard for more
wintry chasm
You could sell that gear for more than the gold is worth tbh
lethal mist
When it comes to old gear, especially stuff I have 100% bond with, what should I do? I recall someone mentioning extraction or some such?=
lethal mist
Oh that easy?
shrewd owl
Melding materia isnt really a thing until 80 however
Yeah
You can sell it for easy gil i suppose
lethal mist
What do I do with all materia btw? Got a few and some are low level. Still I keep everything "just in case".
faint flare
Sell it on market
lethal mist
I don't think I am as I've not yet ran into any restrictions. I've used the PS free trial, then subscription, then a long pause, then I got back into it and now got another 30 days with the PC Complete Edition. Not sure what that counts as but there yo uhave it
lethal mist
Cool!
delicate field
you can get 2 retainers for free
lethal mist
Yeah I only made 1 tho. Character creation alone is a thing I often get stuck on xD
delicate field
oh haha, well only you see them
lethal mist
haha serioulsy? Wel anyway, it wasn't bad. Just that I wanna clear MSQ asap. I like the story but so many things to do. Trying to focus on the more important bits.
delicate field
yeah for sure and so many of those things to do requires you to finish msq anyway
lethal mist
Yup. Like these damn aether currents. I was spoiled by having flight before xD
Things now take much longer.
delicate field
LOL right?
I stopped bothering at SB and just focused on msq. now going back to finish them off
sure you move a bit slower but meh
jade quartz
During MSQ is the best time to do them
lethal mist
Question is, doesn't MSQ take longer not having done them? Don't you gain so much more speed having flight?
I'm doing them during yea. asap
slate arrow
At least, for Heavensward.
jade quartz
As opposed to coming back and making it a chore later
slate arrow
Stormblood one to two will always be way out of the way.
tender ice
Are GATES every 15 min?
jade quartz
Later expansions are ok too
lethal mist
Btw, in the Quest Log, when I select to show completed, I only see story quests. Can't I see these Q+ quests to see which I've cleared?
jade quartz
Except that one in the Lochs which is a bit of an adventure unto itself
jade quartz
Are GATES every 15 min?
20
lethal mist
@tender ice I think every 20
slate arrow
Select Job quests from the top of the menu
delicate field
yeah now I'm paying the price of not having done them while out gathering. takes much longer to get to nodes
honest anvil
you can ask someone with a 2 seat mount to fly you around to attune
tender ice
ty
delicate field
oh that's a good suggestion. maybe pay them for the time
honest anvil
i do that for my fc friends all the time
delicate field
great idea, thx
lethal mist
@slate arrow Ah now noticed I can click the small images. Which category do the aether currents fall under?
Ah found them
Sidequests
faint flare
And 4 seaters
hallow sparrow
4🤩
faint flare
Soon to be 8 seater from Mogstation
hallow sparrow
When?
robust crow
most of them cost money
the 8 seater should be released around may with the digital fan festa pass
faint flare
Probably after the digital fanfedt
robust crow
the easiest 2 seater to get without spending money is probably the recruit a friend one
hallow sparrow
Fan festa pass whats that?
robust crow
(or you can spend money and get married for the 2seater marriage chocobo)
faint flare
Fanfests are 14 events thats aimed to give us expansion details
robust crow
they're doing a digital livestream event to tease the new expansion in may, that's the fan festa
robust crow
the easiest 4 seater to get comes from a savage raid at endgame
delicate field
at what level is leveling roulette no longer good exp?
slate arrow
after the first time per daily reset
robust crow
either e4 savage or delubrum reginae savage drop a 4seat/3seat mount respectively
slate arrow
Leveling roullete will always give decent to good EXP
robust crow
both being difficult endgame raids

leaden ginkgo
Is it possible to just play through the story these days and not have to group and party in those mini dungeons anymore?
slate arrow
not until Shadowbringers
Duty Finder is required until then but even then you still need Duty Finder for the trials
leaden ginkgo
Well is it possible to level up without doing those mini dungeons?
slate arrow
mini dungeons?
leaden ginkgo
Looking for a game I can play while listening to audiobooks
slate arrow
There's no such thing.
leaden ginkgo
Duty finder or whatever it's called
Where you group with like a healer a damage dealer and like a tank and one other
slate arrow
Yes, but it'll be extremely slow if you just FATE grind
leaden ginkgo
Damn I thought it was changed
slate arrow
There's Trusts, but that's at level 71 and above
And Squadrons only goes to level 60
Both of which require you to pay attention as most if not all targeted mechanics will be on you over the NPCs
leaden ginkgo
Do you have to play through every expansion to get to shadowbringers? Is there any way to start a new character and get the benefits of shadowbringers or is it still the same thing of going through ARR and heavensward and all that again?
slate arrow
yes, it's all linear
remote lintel
the story is linear
leaden ginkgo
Cause the game was kinda comfy just doing story stuff but the duty finder stuff was meh
Alright thanks
severe stirrup
are the yellow currents quests bound while the greens are found in le wild?
agile laurel
yes
severe stirrup
ty
runic temple
if i havent got to shadowbringers yet and level boosted a character, do i still have to do msq until i can play shadowbringers with it?
modest igloo
yes
open ember
The level skip only completes up to tje first quest of Shadowbringers
slate arrow
level skips and story skips are two separate items
open ember
If you buy a level skip, it does not skip the story
Vice versa
You need both
Only story skip will skip the story
severe stirrup
so the aether current things arent 1:1
I cant count them to see which im missing
how tf am I supposd to figure this out
twilit arch
for open world currents, use the aether compass to give you a general direction of where it is
severe stirrup
whast that
twilit arch
An item that you were given to help you find aether currents, its in the key item section of your inventory
severe stirrup
I dont have one
twilit arch
then talk to either Gibrillont in Ishgard, Gaufrid in Rhaglr's Reach or Jesswren in the Crystarium to receive it
severe stirrup
its no big deal. all the other areas ive only got 1 or 2 done
twilit arch
you may as well pick up the compass for future expansions
severe stirrup
then Ill go to google :p
twilit arch
:\ its really just go talk to this person, get the compass and then use it to figure out which ones you're missing
remote lintel
aether currents probably wont be posted right away for new expansions
severe stirrup
by the time MSQ is finished tho most of the areas will be mapped
the comminty is really good about being on top of things
remote lintel
sure but you wouldnt need to go back to each area with a compass
severe stirrup
I'm trying to avoid extra work
neon egret
Is the datalogs restriction still a thing for o11-12s?

twilit arch
@neon egret you can farm omega to your hearts content
delicate field
@severe stirrup where did you find that?? I need it lol
severe stirrup
neon egret
@twilit arch omega savage?
severe stirrup
has all the maps
delicate field
sweet thx, that will help so much
remote lintel
with a compass you would pick up the currents as you go through the story, instead of going through the story then going back to each area and running around it again to get all of the currents
so yeah you would be giving yourself more work
neon egret
Great, I still need to find a group

Oh

you definitely need a party, but it isn't that hard
neon egret
Yeah
potent shale
But I don't know if I should join prog team or duty completion team
heavy wadi
especially if you unsync it
neon egret
Compared to o12s you can do it with an undersized
modest igloo
watch a video and you're prolly good
signal aspen
are you doing unsync or sync'd?
heavy wadi
yes
potent shale
Unsync
signal aspen
you'll be good lol
modest igloo
yes, its not very hard, and you can skip a lot of things with good dps
potent shale
I just want the clear for Ultimates and Mount
heavy wadi
you can bypass a lot in it with good dps
signal aspen
yeah unsync it'll be fine just consider it a mini puzzle
faint flare
Unsync kills it like after Delta

Is there a source with all types of status effect listed together?

what's the most speed runnable level 70 duty dungeon?
leaden ginkgo
do those company exp manuals for crafting/gathering affect leves/class quests as well?
or just gathering/crafting exp

what's the most speed runnable level 70 duty dungeon?
Are you trying to level?

oh with tomestones?
little swift
Use tomestones then?
Ilvl is the only thing that matters for combat retainers
Could always just get them nq gear

Channy any tips for gearing gatherers? I was thinking scrip gear but if there are weird quirks about it
obsidian patio
Honestly gatherers do pretty fine with scrip sets unlike crafters

but each piece is like 50k or more

But use poetics instead, don’t buy that stuff

Why disconect in game whe have timer but with windows is instant?
delicate field
if you just close the game your character will stay in the world for 20 seconds
rain heart
Okay
faint flare
Logging out only has a timer if you're not in a sanctuary
delicate field
its so you can't just close the game to avoid dying

how do i unlock the tomestone poetics exchange for ishgard

wheres the level 60 tomestone vendor

honest anvil
does horoscope’s heal have any “within ... distance of caster” condition when it resolves?
faint flare
I believe it auto denotates when it expires...manual denotation has range iirc
Cause there was times people missed the denotation of it when the ast pressed it
obsidian patio
Yeah the manual trigger still has a range
faint flare
Thus they added the auto trigger
honest anvil
so will people out of range of manual detonation lose the buff?
slate arrow
it just wont heal them until auto det occurs
remote lintel
people out of range wont detonate but still have the countdown
and it will detonate upon reaching 0
nova umbra
around what level of gear do you stop desynthing and turning them into the GC?
slate arrow
whenever
but usually when you stop gaining levels or valuables
(like, you always desynth expert roulette stuff if you can. that solution is valuable for crafters)
flat yew
can I switch over to a lower level class to hand in a finished MSQ to not waste the XP?
slate arrow
if its over the quest level, yes
flat yew
ah, bummer
nova umbra
don't you get like purpure beads and prismatic ingots from desynthing level 80 stuff, which are worth nothing now?

how do atma fates spawn?
and if they're rng like regular fates, are they relatively equally frequent or more rare?
faint flare
They're regular fates
oak ice
Any fate in the correct zone can drop them
faint flare
There's no atma fates
jade quartz
There aren’t specific FATEs
silver lintel
oh poo
jade quartz
It’s a random drop from doing any fate in the zone
I’d estimate the drop rate at about 20 percent, but we don’t have any verifiable data
wind dragon
Guys I'm brand new to this game and have no idea what I'm doing.. I'm a conjurer, what professions do I want to start? I tried leatherworking but it said I couldn't take the first quest?
jade quartz
Crafting is its own whole game and is entirely optional
It won’t really support you while leveling
faint flare
Crafters and gatherers are completely different classes
You actively swap jobs
To them
warped nest
I have no idea what I'm doing
Think of this game as a single player RPG game with co-op dungeon. If you dunno what to do with your combat class, look up in YouTube
faint flare
By equipping the weapon
wind dragon
ohhhh
jade quartz
To accept the quest, you must have completed the level 10 class quest for your starting class
wind dragon
I thought it was secondary like in WOW, ok interesting
faint flare
Forget everything about wow
jade quartz
In order to get permission to switch to other classes
wind dragon
Ok.. what should I focus on for now? I finished the first set of conjurer quests I think..
warped nest
Very short version of crafting: they are highly reliant on each other. For example to make armor, you might need leather, fabric, gemstone, and glue from other crafters
faint flare
Main scenario and class quests are top priority
warped nest
Therefore it is recommended to do them all together, but we don't recommend doing it when you are starting out
faint flare
Basically do any quest you see in the top left
wind dragon
hmm ok... thanks for the tips guys!
warped nest
It is a very big commitment, and probably too much to chew through when you are this new
wind dragon
what does a job quest look like?
rigid narwhal
wind dragon
ahh ok
warped nest
On the map, Job quests just looks like a 
wind dragon
ok cool
remote lintel
warped nest
On your top left, if you have any key side quests, for example, a job quest, it will show up as an exclamation mark
That
Exclamation mark is mostly job quests
jade quartz
You’ll also get a notification in chat when a new class/job quest is available
wind dragon
should I do all the random side quests around the map? I've been wandering around odin ghtose
jade quartz
Which is every five levels
wind dragon
*doing those
remote lintel
yellow quests can be ignored
warped nest
They are very optional
faint flare
Yellow quests are purely lore
wind dragon
ah ok
jade quartz
Only if you really want to fit completionism’s sake
warped nest
Feel free to do them to kill time when you are waiting for dungeon queue
jade quartz
Yellow 
s aren’t really worthwhile for exp, they’re just fluff and stuff
Blue s with the plus on then unlock content or game features and systems, and should be completed
nova umbra
for the level 60 eureka quest, was there something I needed to do after talking to Krile in that instance south of Hydatos? (in like the castle like area)
jade quartz
Exceptions being one that unlock other classes, which you can ignore until such a time as you’re interested in playing that class (e.g. “So you want to be a lancer”)
warped nest
Just a heads up, since you are familiar with MMO
In this game, 
progression gates almost everything
And when it comes to gearing, you just need worry about gearing to match your progression
jade quartz
You can also pretty safely ignore the “leves of xxxx” ones as they’re a bit of a chore to complete and unlock a feature that’s only useful for leveling crafters and gatherers later on
warped nest
For example, if your story is lvl 20 and your job is level 30, you just need to be geared to 20, don't worry about buying lvl 30 gears
you will probably out level your story, so this is a friendly heads up to save you time
Oh, speaking of, gearing becomes less confusing once you get to lvl 45+ gears
Low level gears are kept pretty simple and universal. They will become more specialized once you hit higher level
For example, your Conjurer will be using Disciple of Magic gear for the time being, which has stats for both Healers and Magic DPS
wind dragon
ok.. yeah I'm just looking for stats that look important for healers at the moment
warped nest
gears will eventually split into primary stats specialized for different roles
Mind is the primary stat for healers
wind dragon
intellegence and midn are the two I was focusing on
warped nest
Healer doesn't benefit from intelligence at all
jade quartz
Intelligence has zero effect for healers
remote lintel
int is for casters
warped nest
That's a stat for Magic DPS
jade quartz
You want mind
wind dragon
ah ok.. do I need it for DPS for solo content?
jade quartz
And don’t worry about the rest
warped nest
Nope
jade quartz
No your damage is also based off mind
warped nest
Your healing and Damage are based on Mind
jade quartz
Also keep in mind
wind dragon
oh really? interesting
warped nest
Lol
nimble arch
New player here, just ran out of quests at level 19 as a conj, what can I do to get to 20 for my next quest?
jade quartz
You should be aiming to do dps in group content
wind dragon
I feel like you guys are saving me a lot of time hahaha thanks!
remote lintel
@nimble arch fates
warped nest
@nimble arch do side quest, dungeons, or fates
You can queue for dungeons to get exp from the dungeon enemies
remote lintel
and yeah as a healer you dps like 80% of the time
nimble arch
I haven't seen any dungeons yet
jade quartz
Your ultimate aim as a healer is still to contribute to maximise party dps
remote lintel
then do msq?
jade quartz
Sounds like you haven’t been doing the main story
Sidequests are not how you level in this game
nimble arch
I've been doing all the quests I've come accross
jade quartz
It’s not like wow
warped nest
faint flare
Yellow quests are shit for xp
jade quartz
Yeah that’s a waste of time quite honestly
warped nest
Have you do more of
faint flare
Main scenario locks EVERYTHING
jade quartz
Follow the main scenario tracker in the upper-left of your screen
jade quartz
It gives you most of the exp you need to get to cap
faint flare
Story progress is everything
nimble arch
It says I need to do call of the sea in another town, so I should go there?
jade quartz
Yes
wind dragon
oh ok.. I'm lvl 11 now.. I dont think I've been doing the campaign quests.. I did a bunch of the conjurer quests so far
warped nest
When you enter dungeons, but your class level is way too high, you will get synced down
faint flare
Main scenario is TOP PRIORITY
rigid narwhal
can heals dcrit?
warped nest
So massively out leveling the story doesn't have much benefit
wind dragon
I
remote lintel
@rigid narwhal yes
warped nest
@rigid narwhal no
wind dragon
I'm on lvl 4 To the bannock right now
remote lintel
oh
faint flare
can heals dcrit?
Cant DH so cant Dcrit
wind dragon
I'll focus on that for now
remote lintel
direct crit
warped nest
Wait
rigid narwhal
ty
warped nest
Crit or direct hit?
rigid narwhal
dcrit
warped nest
Oh
faint flare
Direct crit
remote lintel
they can crit but not direct
rigid narwhal
!!
jade quartz
Heals cannot direct hit, therefore they cannot direct crit
rigid narwhal
rigid narwhal
yeah i was just... jumping around limsa vercuring
and i was like 'oh two critted in a row can they dcrit' and i didnt want to spend 5 mins trying...
warped nest
Summary:
Damage can direct hit, and can crit. And these two can stack.
Heal can never direct hit, but it can crit.
rigid narwhal
farming for dcritlito sounds fun tho

how do you unlock UWU again
open ember
Which is better, leveling fisher with leves or ocean fishing
rigid narwhal

warped nest
Clear O8S
wintry oak
is there any point to making your own armor? opposed to farming for armor or weapons through other means
strange coral
Which is better, leveling fisher with leves or ocean fishing
Do leves in between ocean fishing
warped nest
When you are leveling, Making your own means you don't need to rely on RNG dungeon drops.
plain python
@wintry oak crafted armor in end-game can be over-meld
silver ruin
oh ok.. I'm lvl 11 now.. I dont think I've been doing the campaign quests.. I di...
class quests are also important
twilit arch
while leveling, there isn't much need to go out of your way to make your own gear
open ember
How would I balance that tho, like around what levels should I be doing leves? Because I did miner and botanist with leves only
faint flare
Crafted gear is basically a catch up mechanism
silver ruin
job quests + main story quests are what you should be doing
faint flare
If you're behind
twilit arch
ocean fishing only runs every 2 hours, estelle
open ember
Oh
strange coral
You can't ocean fish 24/7, so there's downtime to do other stuff

@rigid narwhal btw, it is called a Critical Direct Hit

@open ember well, if it is me, I will play till end of HW and use Ishard restoration to level up my crafter/gatherer.

<@234969534874910720> btw, it is called a Critical Direct Hit
i... know
twilit arch
yes, its lazy but exp is not going be good as doing ocean fishing with leves/collectables
plain python
does it worth to use Cyclone instead of Fell Cleave?
open ember
Leves are faster than diadem for me so
warped nest
Kill, I think they mean between lvl 72 and lvl 80
open ember
Anyway thank you for the answers 
plain python
well, it reduces rage regen buff cooldown so I wonder if it is worth to consider until I get to lv80.
warped nest
It is worth using chaotic cyclone over Fell Cleave for single target
wind dragon
are fates worth doing?
plain python
well, if you are a DPS and is queuing and want extra exp, yeah
some events use FATEs
warped nest
@plain python your fell Cleave and decimate will reduce Infuriate by 5s too
It is a high level trait
plain python
It is a high level trait
work at lv76?
warped nest
Between level 72 and 80, before you get Inner Chaos
plain python
!action Inner Chaos

Powered by XIVAPI
warped nest
I believe in a single target situation, Fell Cleave might be able to out do Chaotic Cyclone if your Fell Cleave crit, but Chaotic Cyclone is more reliable
Chaotic cyclone and Inner chaos are empowered decimate and fell cleave
You do want to avoid using cyclone and chaos inside your Inner Release buff

all classes are boring because all your fun buttons are behind jobs 90% of the time

You're missing ALL YOUR SKILLS

Usually most classes if not all before they receive their jobstone is pretty boring
I say most classes are pretty boring until 70

Oh

Make sure to DO THEM. Some people ignore them
slate arrow
and lots of your skills are locked behind them until 60 so like
if you want fun buttons
open ember
Then you become a hindrance to the party because you have less skills
slate arrow
do your job quests
hallow sparrow
Sometimes you require to be some lvl for the quests, then you start something else to lvl up for the quest and then thats how we forget it
open ember
It'll be easy to remember
Just takes some time to get used to
Like everything else in this game
hallow sparrow
Will it show up in recomendations?
slate arrow
itll show up on your MSQ indicator
faint flare
Job quests show under the main scenario tracker
