Should be called beast gauge or something like that

mortal verge

You're a lifesaver, thanks. That was annoying me a ton and there's so many menus I would have been lost in them for days haha

marsh raptor

I had to do the same for the red mage and white mage/astro ones

You can also use the settings on the gauge to simplify it, making it smaller and more compact

pretty sure people are outright modding doing this

How do you rank up in ur GC again? Its been ages since I've done it

twilit arch
#

talk to your grand company personnel officer assuming you're 2nd LT or under

#

1st LT and Capt are thru squadrons. 1st LT require you to get squadron to lvl 40 to unlock the flagged mission, capt requires you to run 5 dungeons with your squadron to unlock the flagged mission

Heavensward Areas for Bozja Relic Memories

Tortured Memory of the Dying (Yellow)

Sea of Clouds

Sorrowful Memory of the Dying (Blue)
Dravanian Forelands
Churning Mists

Harrowing Memory of the Dying (Red)
Dravanian Hinterlands
Azys Lla

little swift
#

One per fate

robust sail
#

Yeah, but what are the best areas to get them?

little swift
#

Going in to bozja and cluster farming is the alternative

#

But rng

#

I used sea of clouds, dravanian forelands, and dravanian hinterlands

robust sail
#

I asked some random guy when I was doing msq roulettes, he said Western Highlands, mists, and Azys

graceful path
#

it doesnt really matter

little swift
#

Cwh churning mists and azys have lower fate density by a tad

#

And boss fates are more tedious to solo

robust sail
#

Alright

little swift
#

But it overall has very little difference

which mount is this?

you get twintania from 15 gold choco feathers at the calamity salvager. gold choco feathers is from recruit a friend, 5 per anytime they pay their sub

#

you also get 5 just from them registering the recruitment code

robust sail
#

But that'll be when the event is active

delicate field
twilit arch
#

RAF isn't an event

slate arrow
#

the event is effectively permanently active

twilit arch
#

its always there

slate arrow
#

if they do decide to end it, it'll be announced like, a year ahead of time

robust sail
#

Oh-

twilit arch
#

its an incentive for people to get their friends playing

final niche
#

is there a list of all the differnt currencies in the game and what they do/where they can be used?

#

there seems to be loads lol

wary birch
#

As a new player im finding the beginning to be incredibly boring, I love the game and fighting mechanics but yea..do you recommend purchasing levels and going straight to lvl 70?

delicate field
#

you still have to do the MSQ

slate arrow
#

You'll still get synced down for Solo instances so

#

I wouldn't recommend it for your first job.

final niche
#

think he means the skip potion

delicate field
#

if you wanna skip the story you need a Story Skip

wary birch
#

Oh okay cool is it worth it?

delicate field
#

but tht doesn't level you

wispy peak
#

story gets fine after ARR

delicate field
#

you'd need story skip + level skip

wary birch
#

I'm fine with doing that lol

faint flare
#

It isn't worth it for a NQq player, you have no idea what you're doing or what's going on

#

Can't really just skip 4 seasons of a netflix series

little swift
#

You don't get tto skip straight to the end

wary birch
#

Yeah I fee like that, im playing a with a friend who just brought that skip potion and lvl thing and now I feel behind lol

little swift
#

Only to the start of the latest expansion

faint flare
#

Yes Arr is slow but its necessary for world building and setting the stage

#

Even the smallest things come back

little swift
#

If you don't care about the story its fine

vernal urchin
#

I guess it depends if you want to care about the story

delicate field
#

if you expect the game to suddenly become amazingly fun after ARR if you don't like ARR, might not be what you expect it to be

wispy peak
#

stuff becomes alot cooler after ARR

slate arrow
#

also do consider that ARR was made in about half the development cycle compared to your typical FF game today

wary birch
#

Okay maybe I'll keep my head down and keep going lol

delicate field
#

it really all depends what your ultimate goal is

vernal urchin
#

They reduced the amount of quests that it takes to get to heavensward, so it won't take as long as it used to

#

And heavensward has a pretty good plotline, but it only really pays off if you're invested

wispy peak
#

how hard is it to get the firebird?

faint flare
#

Not hard

#

Its takes time

wary birch
#

Okay I see, I just feel like I'm missing out on things haha

faint flare
#

The fights are easily unsynced

#

So just rng on mounts dropping

cinder maple
#

The Jumbo Cactpot, does it adjust according to daylight savings?

faint flare
#

No

#

The server doesn't obverse DST

cinder maple
#

So it's always 10pm est?

faint flare
#

So nothing changes, your time changes

cinder maple
#

Wait, so the lottery time is the same, but the time for me to do it differs according to DST? is that what you meant?

faint flare
#

Yes

#

Be an hour later/earlier since time on the server doesn't change

gusty hare
#

can I unlock e1s after doing e4 or only after e12?

faint flare
#

E4

gusty hare
#

thx

faint flare
#

It unlocks in Tiers

gusty hare
#

so the actual lore of the raid is in doing the normal version, and not the savage, right?

cinder maple
#

And server time is UTC?

faint flare
#

Savage has no lore

wintry chasm
#

I mean

faint flare
#

Other than it being a simulation or exaggeration of events

gusty hare
#

fantastic

wintry chasm
#

Yeah

#

it has lore so far as it's explained to..not be real

#

and just in your head or whatnot

faint flare
#

There's lore to explain there's no lore

wintry chasm
#

Yeah

obsidian patio
#

Basically the only Extreme/savages that are “real” are the ARR primals besides Ultima and Ravana/Bismarck

gusty hare
#

yeah, I just wanted to know if I was missing something significant by ignoring savage :P but it must be like extreme trials from HW then
thank you for answers :)

obsidian patio
#

The rest are simulations/dreams/hallucinations/songs from the minstrel

faint flare
#

Arr extreme primal lore is just "oh no they're summoning them again

wintry chasm
#

but yeah it's like the rest

wary birch
#

@hearty mango Thank you for letting me know, most mmorpg games I've played i have skipped the story to get more into the pvp pve group instances etc competitive playing

glacial isle
#

thx

leaden ginkgo
#

Most likely to be self-centered in it's goals

#

Like a NIN starts as a Rogue who is like a thief who looks out for themself?

#

I wouldn't really say any class really has like a set personality, but I feel like in terms of "selfish" AST speaks to mind

#

Since its ishgardian and they're generally very isolationist and withhold information

twilit arch
#

could pretty much make an argument for all of the jobs

twilit arch
#

like you're a free paladin, you're not beholden to the sultansworn

#

bard you have no official ties to gridania, and can do as you please

#

like...pretty much all of them, you're free to do whatever. you're not specifically tied to any real group

leaden ginkgo
#

Yeah you could just come up with an excuse instead of it being tied to a specific job

#

Question: I just got the free trial, and I have a physical unopened copy of Stormblood

do I wait until I’m ready to purchase the full game to redeem stormblood? Or can I redeem it now and still use the free trial until I purchase?

faint flare
#

You can't use expansion codes like stormblood without buying the game

leaden ginkgo
#

After you purchase the game you can no longer access the free trial

leaden ginkgo
#

But

#

Can I redeem it now so I don’t have to later?

#

Or will it revoke my free trial until I buy the full game

faint flare
#

You PHYSICALLY can't redeem it now

leaden ginkgo
#

Ohhhhhh ok

#

Gotcha

#

Lmao

#

When I do purchase which version of the game should I get? Starter or something else

faint flare
#

Starter edition if you want to use stormblood code

leaden ginkgo

Okay, thank you

#

whats the best way to earn MGP in the gold saucer? I pretty much have nothing from there so I need to save up a lot of it

crystal bluff

daily mini cactpot tickets, weekly cactpot tickets

leaden ginkgo
#

alright, thanks

delicate field
#

if you're very bored you can get MGP from the moogle tomestone event too

leaden ginkgo
#

I can? how?

delicate field
#

5000 mpg for 30 tomestone i think

heavy wadi
#

there's also the weekly fashion report, which can give you 80k a week, but some of the items it requires may be pricey

leaden ginkgo
#

Does it matter which world or data center I choose

heavy wadi
#

no

twilit arch
#

60k

leaden ginkgo
#

Cool

heavy wadi
#

all of them are pretty populated

delicate field
#

you get 10 tomestone for running pratorium, and if you get it thru MSQ roulette you get a ton of xp too

leaden ginkgo
#

Jenova it is then because ff7 the 🐐

twilit arch
#

if you're good at them, the botanist/miner mini games up by the chocobo racing are decent

#

and if you're willing to invest time into chocobo racing, higher ratings give pretty good payouts

delicate field
#

what is this about botanist minigame

#

you dig stuff for mgp?

leaden ginkgo
#

yeah thats what a friend recommended but its pretty hard and I need some practice at it lol

#

but thanks for the tips guys

#

I appreciate it

twilit arch
#

uh sort of? its basically how 1.0 botanist/miner worked

#

been while since i bothered with them but its like you have to hit the right spot

delicate field
#

ah I see it on the wiki, Out on a Limb and The Finer Miner. I'll go check them out thx

abstract galleon
#

Are the Physical/Mental/Tactical attributes on Squad missions the same every week or do they get randomized every reset?

twilit arch
#

changes with reset

#

er

#

actually no its same sorry

abstract galleon
#

Hmm okay. Then I guess I should update this wiki because the values here are not what I see in game.

#

Interesting. Two different wikis are wrong. I wonder if they recently adjusted the attributes or something

twilit arch
#

ok i double checked and i was right initially. it does change every week

abstract galleon
#

Ah okay. Good to know. Just gives me a reason to train every week to meet the attributes then.

twilit arch
#

the only ones i believe don't change are flagged missions

glass oyster
#

Custom Deliveries are once a week or once a day?

twilit arch
#

once a week

glass oyster
#

Oh ok good

delicate field
#

are any of the ShB raids puggable?

glass oyster
#

Eden or trials?

twilit arch
#

all of the raids are

#

pretty much the only content that's pretty iffy when pugging is ultimates

glass oyster
#

Mechanically, yes? But depends on your DC whether if they want to do pugging dogekek

twilit arch
#

that said, you likely aren't going to find many groups to do the first two tiers of eden

delicate field
#

but they are in the dungeon finder tho?

twilit arch
#

no

#

not for savage atleast

#

normal mode, ofc

#

its casual content

delicate field
#

cool ill unlock them this weekend and try Eden normal out

honest anvil
#

doing savage blind is doable? @@

twilit arch
#

yes

honest anvil
#

hmmm, perhaps if you have your own 8 man group to figure things out with you

twilit arch
#

plenty of people pug the tier at release

#

having a strat will make it easier

#

but you can do it blind

manic flare
#

how does one get the "brink of death" status effect as opposed to "weakness" in a duty?

raw solstice
#

when you die once then get raised, you get weakness. If you die again before weakness falls off and get raised, you get brink of death

#

and if you die with brink of death and get raised, the debuff timer on brink of death will be refreshed to max again

#

though to note, healer LB3 doesn't incur weakness/brink of death

warped seal
#

If you die with weakness/brink of death though, you'll be rezzed with it with healer LB3.

raw solstice
#

yeah, it doesn't cleanse the debuff or anything, it just doesn't apply/reapply it

Hi guys

fresh lodge
#

You want to chuck a Thunder on them as well

robust magnet
#

Can you teleport to a friend's house in Shirogane if you aren't even in SB story?
I assume if you're free trial or don't own SB you can't cuz the data is locked.

twilit arch
#

yes

#

you just won't be able to leave shirogane into kugane

#

you'll have to teleport back out to a zone you can access when you want to leave

fresh lodge
#

Shirogane is open to everyone as long as you have a means of teleporting there

robust magnet
#

I see. And they need to be on the friends list to teleport?
Or can you just be in a party and accept the teleport there?

fresh lodge
#

They have to be friends

twilit arch
#

iirc housing teleport doesn't give free teleport

#

so have to be friends

robust magnet
#

gotcha.

obsidian patio
#

They need friends or FC there to teleport to Shirogane

robust magnet
#

Also are there any websites to get ffxiv housing ideas from?
similar to Eorzea Collections for Glamour

twilit arch
#

its in jp but assuming the person links the items used, they go to lodestone so easy enough to change the jp in the url to na to see english version of lodestone

robust magnet

alright thanks.

leaden fable
#

What are the materia I should meld onto my Samurai gear?

viscid fossil
#

Can someone help me understand what is Extract vs Retrieve?

#

Retrieve as far I know takes out the materia in the slot

twilit arch
#

when you have 100% spiritbond you can extract materia from the item

viscid fossil
#

oh

#

it's like free materia?

twilit arch
#

which is basically generating a new materia

#

ye

viscid fossil
#

wow I wish I knew this earlier

twilit arch
#

whereas retrieve is pulling the materia you melded off of the item

viscid fossil
#

So the Spiritbond is the sole purpose for Materia extraction?

twilit arch
#

as well as binding an item to you

jovial tide
#

What were the old requirements for being a battle mentor?

viscid fossil
#

what is the purpose of binding item?

twilit arch
#

once an item is bound to you, you can't sell it (assuming ofc it could be sold to others in the first place)

viscid fossil
#

aye ok lol

twilit arch
#

the original requirements were 1000 instances completed, 300 commendations and a lvl capped healer/tank/dps

covert berry
#

how do i sell itens on market? and how to get retainer?

hearty mango
#

You have to go to a retainer vocate in one of the city states

#

normally by the marketplace

covert berry
#

retainer vocate?

hearty mango
#

and then you hire a retainer, customize its appearance, and after that I believe there's an option to have one sell items on the marketboard

covert berry
#

where can i find it on limsa?

#

i didnt see the sell option

boreal storm
#

hawkers alley

hearty mango
#

I only know that it's like right by all the shops in gridania

honest anvil
#

are you on free trial?

covert berry
#

no

honest anvil
#

cause free trial users cant sell

covert berry
#

i just dont see the optiopn

hearty mango
#

it's not on the marketboard itself, it's just by all the shops

honest anvil
#

after you’ve hired a retainer, go to a summoning bell

#

then start selling

open ember
#

Retainer vocate is past the marketboard, in between NPC vendors

#

They are always around the marketboard, regardless of the city state

olive totem
#

So how to deal with getting blamed for for not LB as a healer in a Trial? My I didn't have lb on my hotbar since I never had to use it.

hearty mango
#

in gridania it's right where the 'shaded bowser' is at the bottom right

olive totem
#

The healers and tanks died, so I ended up dying as the last one.

#

For Thok ast Thok

open ember
#

Just ignore it, but next time, have LB on your hotbar anyway

#

People get mad for stupid reasons

boreal storm
#

Thok normal?

olive totem
#

Like I actually got complaints when I had to revive the whm twice

#

No

#

Hard

open ember
#

Also, if you fall off the edge in Ravana normal, you can't raise

#

And healer lb3 doesn't save the party

olive totem
#

No, like they they died in center

open ember
#

Well then that's their problem

olive totem
#

I could revive them. I popped a swift cast+ raise+ dignity and they still died

#

Well, the whm

#

Oh well, it happens

open ember
#

Just ignore the complaints tbh. People find dumb reasons to blame others for dying.

#

For their own mistakes lol

olive totem
#

It was even worse when I had to tell a Ast a run before to had Nocturnal because she wasn't in a stance for half of the trial. She went diurnal as I did.

last jay
#

my healer was running through and pulling mobs earlier ... I'm the tank xDD

olive totem
#

Lmaooo!

last jay
#

some damn leeroy jenkins stuff right there

covert berry
#

ty guys found the retainer vocate

honest anvil
#

that legitimately could have been a force of habit

open ember
#

Btw guys, this seems to be turning into a rant so I would take it to #rants

honest anvil
#

like, me and frens got all tripped up by random single pull tanks

last jay
#

okay well I have a question; what are the main differences between Warrior and Paladin? Just started playing recently

covert berry
#

can i change my retainer appareance anytime? and race?

last jay
#

Running lvl25 on the Marauder atm

open ember
covert berry
#

uh

#

so i gotta be careful making their appearance

twilit arch
#

nah

#

retainer fantasias are usually pretty cheap

covert berry
#

oki

#

can i change race also?

open ember
#

Yes

covert berry
#

ok ty

open ember
last jay
#

I'm not usually a tank in MMOs

open ember
#

Warrior is more self healing and Paladin is your typical "shield and defend" kind of class

#

If I'm gonna put it very simply

#

Warrior has many self healing abilities in its rotation. Can be a bit squishy tho

#

Paladin has more defensive tools that allow it to be more "comfy"

olive totem
#

What is neutral sect?

last jay
#

so Warrior essentially can survive a little better if healer is dookie

olive totem
#

Is it better that both Diurnal and Nocturnal?

open ember
#

You use properties of shields and regens at the same time

honest anvil
#

lv80 ast skills

last jay
#

but Paladin does the job of tank better

#

pretty much?

honest anvil
#

no no

boreal storm
#

No tank "does their job better"

#

it always comes back to the player in the end

twilit arch
#

neutral sect is basically when you need a strong healing cd, its not a stance like diurnal or nocturnal

#

since neutral sect gives you the benefits of diurnal and nocturnal for aspected helios/benefic

last jay
#

I'll just have to level both classes and see how they feel ig xD

twilit arch
#

and increase healing potency

honest anvil
#

you have to play tanks in savage and higher to appreciate their differences imo

open ember
#

Not necessarily

#

Just lv80 is enough

warped nest
#

All jobs have different tools to fulfill the same responsibilities

honest anvil
#

in dungeons, especially higher end, you dont really tank tank ¯_(ツ)_/¯

last jay
#

describe "tank tank"

warped nest
#

Even if a job is under performing, it will get adjustment

honest anvil
#

like, there’s no need for tank swap (shirk, provoke) or proper cooldowms for busters

#

no need to properly use invuls

warped nest
#

What?

open ember
#

You still need cooldowns for tankbusters, no matter the level or content

#

And invulns are useful esp in dunegons when need be

honest anvil
#

idk, it feels less strict in dungeon

oblique yew
#

is the marriage quest compulsory to get the eternal devotion set?

honest anvil
#

you still have pop them coolies ofc but room for errors are sooo comfy

open ember
#

Some tankbusters truly DO HURT without proper mitigation. For example, red chocobo in bozja. That tank buster just hurts. Like hell

delicate field
#

How many food do you need to give chocobo before it becomes it's favorite?

twilit arch
#

10

open ember
#

I don't really necessarily believe savage tanking will make someone truly "appreciate" the differences between tanks. Even so savage is only a slight increase in skill level even with tanking. So in normal content, it truly depends on the duty and the party you are dealing with

#

Just be at lv80 and there is a clear and solid differences between the tanks

honest anvil
#

ye that’s a fair take on it ^^

oblique yew
#

is the marriage quest compulsory to get the eternal devotion set?

slate wave
#

Is it possible to buy only stormblood without shadowbringers? I cant afford shadowbringers rn

open coral
#

No

#

You pay the ShB expansion price and get two expansions for the price of one.

slate wave
#

Oh... k

covert berry
#

what happens when I sell an item

#

i go claim gil at retainer?

hearty mango
#

yeah I think so

#

also

#

just remember that there's a difference between selling an item and selling it on the marketboard

frigid maple
#

I just came back for Endwalker after leaving after Stormblood ended. Do I have a chance of experiencing everything in Shadowbringers or just focusing on finishing story content and get to 80 and unlock everything then wait?

honest anvil
#

What you mean “everything”?

#

all shb contents are still there

frigid maple
#

Raids and such, didnt know if it would be too late in the cycle or not

ah, ok

current tier is still fairly populated

# mental oracle Is crafted gear BiS?

For combat classes no, it's an introductory step. For crafting and gathering classes, yes, but it requires overmelding. Which can get quite expensive.

If you want just the ARR CE items, just $20.

for The Resistance Remembers, in the current relic, the one with 18 of two memory types etc. Is the most efficient/fast way just running 18 of each of the raids it mentions? or is the droprate from fates decent?

Drop rate from fates has been buffed. It's faster by a degree but quite monotonous.

Erm, if you own all the expacs on ps4 and then just have the starter edition on pc, are you able to run content or would you have to rebuy the dlc as well?

You'll have to rebuy the expansions.

#

what are the main spells that i need with blue mage to farm fates for memories of the dying??

obsidian patio
#

Ram's Voice and Choco Meteor are your most vital spells. Ram is used for aoe-stun with a long duration and Choco Meteor for damage

#

Dragon's Voice is also nice to have for the large AoE size which makes it easy to hit lots of mobs, since you don't need a target to cast it

#

After that it's as many damage oGCDs as you can bother going for, like the primal spells

Is there a fast way to toggle off hotbars while not in combat

obsidian patio
#

You can use a macro to toggle their visibility

#

something like

/hotbar display 1
#

this toggles the visibility of hotbar 1

#

Just add extra lines for each hotbar set that you want to hide, changing the number to match the hotbar

What about job specific gauges like this for DNC? @obsidian patio

no macro command to hide those, AFAIK

the aoe are basically instant, you can't really dodge them for the split second they appear

you have to identify what type of aoe it's going to be by how the bamboo splits apart

or is the area beyond the aoe?

obsidian patio

it shouldn't be, ideally

if you think it's larger than what they seem to be you can submit a bug report

jolly sorrel
#

I think "worth getting" is a bit of a weird question to answer

#

uh.. mounts are neat, I guess

zealous flower
#

yeah i guess i mean like if anything is exclusive to this event, some of the stuff looks like stuff i can get elsewhere

jolly sorrel
#

That's the idea of the event 🙂 to give you a quick and easy way to get otherwise harder to get items.

little swift
#

The namazu earrings are exclusive

jolly sorrel
#

I think the-

#

yes

little swift
#

The falcon too

fresh lodge
#

IMO I'd also get the Magiteck mount as well since its annoying to get otherwise

zealous flower
#

yeah that was what i was gonna ask next, like what's the best "savings" in terms of effort here

#

but yeah thanks

obsidian patio
#

Tyrannosaurus is also kinda grindy to get normally, as it's from eureka

#

Ultima Horns come from the rare boss fate in Azys Lla which spawns every 24-48 hours or so

#

Blissful Kamuy is Lakshmi Extreme, which is a super easy fight to farm with multiple level 80's since you ideally see no mechanics but aoe damage

#

Drake/Goobbue/Elbst/Bomb/Direwolf are the ARR Beast Tribe mounts and each take like 3 weeks to grind for normally through dailies

#

Gullfaxi is Titan Extreme mount which is easy to solo at 80, same for Markab as Ramuh's mount.

#

Nightmare is a somewhat rare alternate mount drop from Ifrit/Titan/Garuda Extreme

zealous flower
#

i got a lot of the pony collection on like my first solo runs of those i was doing for the stamp book

obsidian patio
#

in terms of time saved the beast tribe mounts are the big ones here, along with maybe the t-rex

there's so much stuff in this game that's like half obsolete/deprecated so it's weird to dig up info on later because the guides will have been written in the time the content was new so they're like kind of wrong for the current game too

can people in your guild or even out of your guild craft things for you?

jolly sorrel

If i buy the lvl70 black mage skip item before getting thaumaturge will it unlock thaumaturge AND level it to 70 AND give me the class quest item to switch into black mage?

#

I'm pretty sure it unlocks it

slate wave

So does it give the black mage soul too?

lethal mist

I cleared Aurum Vale cause I needed a spell, but I didn't get the Tomestones you usually get with it? What are the conditions to get the Tomestones?

hasty musk
#

I think so

vernal urchin
#

Did you undersize the dungeon?

lethal mist
#

Yes, went in solo

obsidian patio
#

undersized dungeons don't give mog tomes

vernal urchin
#

You have to go in level synced with a party of 4

lethal mist
#

Just rushed it for the spell, but thought I'd ask for conditions for future runs too

#

I see, ok thanks

vernal urchin
#

You can do it with all 4 blu though

#

Just have to do it via party finder

lethal mist
#

Yeah I gathered as much, thanks. I'm leveling it for that purpose and this particular quest had me go in there to get a spell so I thought the whole party finder thing was for speed only. TIL

knotty spindle
#

Yeah, level synced is the only requirement for moogle tomes. Let's just say I did darkhold solo and level synced recently because of reasons

lethal mist
#

I mean, leveling is done (70) but I need spells and to do job quests so I get a better weapon than the startign one 😂

vernal urchin
#

Blu weapons don't have stats so you don't really need to worry about that too much

knotty spindle
#

You do remember that BLU barely has any too important weapon stats. We only get the weapon because of meld slots

vernal urchin
#

Though the higher level ones let you put materia on them

knotty spindle
#

Spells and gear is probably your higher priority

#

Especially with how stupid some spells get

lethal mist
#

Ah I see, I just noticed the lvl 50 BLU weapon was basically zero upgrade. haha

vernal urchin
#

Just hit em with da chocobo meteor 😎

lethal mist
#

I had some gear saved from before (I did MSQ on DRG) so I just opened those level 70 coffers I could with BLU.

knotty spindle
#

I'm more of a hydro pull and ram's breath guy here. Though important thing is adapting spells to one's circumstances

lethal mist
#

I used Water Cannon till I got Ram's Breath. I thought "finalyl an AoE at least!". Been chasing spells otherwise by going down a list but then abandoned the idea cause i only need a few particular ones. Speaking of, I don't think I've done the Hildibrand quest that unlocks Battle in the Keep so gotta do that too >_>

knotty spindle
#

Missile is one of the more important spells as against bosses that can instantly die, you'll be spamming missile to chunk their health down

lethal mist
#

Btw, does BLU not actually go higher than 70? O.o I stopped leveling cause I didn't get much exp but didn't realize it actually is limited.

#

All other classes go to 80 tho?

jolly sorrel
#

It's literally called a "Limited Job" for that reason :3

lethal mist
#

haha Isee

jolly sorrel
#

It's much stronger, but not allowed to level high or participate in a lot of duties.

lethal mist
#

Thought limitation was dungeon entries and spells

knotty spindle
#

Yeah, that's what the limited is for. BLU excels in synced content but never matches up to the other jobs

lethal mist
#

Oh well, I wanted it for completion ofc but also tomestone farming. Not sure if anything in that moogle shop is missable but rather not risk it.

knotty spindle
#

Also, because of how stupid BLU can get, BLU is forbidden from participating in ultimate

knotty spindle
lethal mist
#

I'm not much for pvp in any game really. I prefer adventure, story, etc. Glad this game has minimal focus on the former.

#

I do realize I need to do some pvp for completion, but I'll just use it for that later.

jolly sorrel
#

There's a lot of missable stuff in this game in general, but SE does a pretty decent job of pulling old stuff back in

knotty spindle
#

Knock yourself out. This game has been compared to an amusement park where you don't have to do everything. Just do the things you enjoy

#

Also story, because why else would you buy a final fantasy game

halcyon gorge
#

i'm probably like 15 hours into the game and one thing I have realized is people should think of this game as RPG first and mmo second

#

i think that's why most people say not to rush story

#

quests*

#

also send help i've been listening to ff13 music all day it's so addicting

!action pom cure

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Pom Cure** : lvl 1 BLU (200 MP) (2.5 second cooldown)(1.5 second base cast time)

Restores target's HP.
Cure Potency: 100
Cure potency is increased to 500 when you are under the effect of Aetherial Mimicry: Healer.

Blue Magic

This spell seems fundamentally no different from those used by the conjurers of Stillglade Fane, though upon inquiry as to its detailed workings, an anonymous moogle provided the following words of advice: “Stuff your pom with magic─you know, the sparkly kind─then go 'bwaaa'!”

Obtained

Type: Magic
Aspect: None
Rank: 3

They're very low potency when not in healer mimicry

Or do other stuff entirely, like Strotam being a damage aoe without healer mimicry

Healer Mimicry itself also boosts healing

Still does damage in healer mimicry doesn't it?

obsidian patio
#

nope, becomes a pure heal

lethal mist

I just wanna heal myself during stuff so I don't die, like this Carnival thing.

Healer Mimicry and Pom Cure are all you need for that

half kraken
#

Exuviation is necessary also

lethal mist
#

White Wind seems enough but it says I get it from a "Whalaqee Totem". Not sure what that is

obsidian patio
#

depends on the exact duty for exuviation

You get it from 10 carnivale stages

Certain number of spells learnt

basically just a spellbook completion reward

zinc orbitBOT
#
**White Wind** : lvl 1 BLU (1500 MP) (2.5 second cooldown)(2.0 second base cast time)

Restores own HP and the HP of all nearby party members by an amount equal to your current HP.

Blue Magic

White Wind imbues a localized current of air with purified aether, distributing its curative effects throughout the vicinity. Though powerful for such a simple spell, the purification of sufficient aether requires significant magical exertion on the part of the caster, and thus should be used sparingly.

Obtained

Learn 10 spells.

Aspect: None
Rank: 3

It says 10 spells

half kraken

Like 10?

#

Yeah

#

When you get 10 spells talk to the guy on the far right

obsidian patio
#

talk to the mamool jal near Azuro in Ul'dah

lethal mist
#

#

Totems should be an option from his menu

lethal mist
#

Had 5 totems to get lol

#

Off-guard, Mighty Guard, White Wind, Transfusion and Angel's Snack. Is Mighty Guard as good as in other FF games?

obsidian patio
#

Mighty Guard is your tank stance, basically.

#

it nerfs your damage by a lot but makes you tanky

jolly sorrel
#

And uninterruptable, to boot!

obsidian patio
#

I don't recommend it for the carnivale

lethal mist
#

Wow nice for clutch

slate arrow
#

what does mighty guard do in other FF games?

lethal mist
#

It is different but usually Shell, Protect, etc. Most of the positive stuff.

slate arrow
#

!action diamondback

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Diamondback** : lvl 1 BLU (3000 MP) (2.5 second cooldown)(2.0 second base cast time)

Reduces damage taken by 90% and nullifies most knockback and draw-in effects.
Unable to move or take action for the duration of this effect.
Duration: 10s
If used when Waxing Nocturne is active, its effect will transition immediately to Waning Nocturne.
The effect of this action cannot be ended manually.

Blue Magic

Diamondback weaves earth-aspected aether into a hard mineral shield, mimicking what many describe as the “maddening” effect of shelled dragons' carapaces. Alas, though its defensive properties are superlative, its weight makes it impossible for the caster to move while under its aegis.

Obtained

Cuca Fera / The Stone Vigil (Hard)
Horde Armored Dragon / The Steps of Faith

Blue Magic

Type: Magic
Aspect: None
Rank: 4

obsidian patio
#

yeah it was basically a bunch of defensive buffs applied at once, sometimes to the whole party

... yeah, mighty guard is basically just mighty guard with a damage penalty

#

Btw, does Bristle help with White Wind and such?

obsidian patio
#

only damage spells

lethal mist
#

Ah. 1000 Needle then? Or is that fixed regardless?

obsidian patio
#

always fixed

lethal mist
#

Ok

obsidian patio
#

also in terms of potency per GCD, Bristle and Whistle isn't worth on using your main GCD filler spells

lethal mist
#

GCD?

#

Global cooldown?

obsidian patio
#

yep

#

AKA the thing when you use a spell or weaponskills and you have to wait for a short timer to finish to use another one

lethal mist
#

Ah I see

#

Btw, I did part 2 of the Masked Carnivale, but I couldn't use Ultravibration on the second part. How come? I don't see restrictions written? I thought maybe the spell I killed things with in the first part wasn't accessible or something in the second?

obsidian patio
#

The details on the right side of the carnivale menu list what things each specific enemy are immune to for each duty/act

#

Ultravibration counts as a "Death/instant kill" spell in terms of those resistances

slate arrow
#

for the most part, instant death spells don't work on boss type enemies

lethal mist
#

Ah!

slate arrow
#

your typical spell loadout for masked carnival usually consists of primal spells, a filler (usually the element one the target is weak to) and special actions that may be required

#

There's guides for recommended loadouts for each one though some are just straight boss fights with gimmicks

#

Like being inflicted with a heavy debuff and needing a spell to teleport you out of danger

open ember
#

I should also note some Carnivale bosses will only take damage to a particular type depending on the debuff, like magic only or physical only

#

Its okay to not pass Carnivale on the first try, it encourages you to bring different loadouts all the time to try new things until you clear it

does someone has a alchemist makro for the lv55 class quest?

torn owl
#

What's the best way to earn yellow crafter scrips at level 50? Is it custom deliveries? I tried to craft collectibles but the materials for those can only be bought on NPCs and are also pretty costly.

slate arrow
#

Generally, you dont

obsidian patio
#

the leveling materials from the vendors are merely a source of convenience.

#

you can still gather and craft them the normal way

#

they're just a "laziness/marketboard is too expensive" option

torn owl
#

Oh right I see it now, must've remembered wrong

slate arrow
#

if you want the short answer, the best way to earn yellow scrips is to get up to 80, and then farm the materials for the espresso pan crema or something along those lines

torn owl
#

Yeah, I got confused by your answer, but I saw the Post Mortem guide and it doesn't require yellow scrip gear early on

hey @obsidian patio if I'm not wrong, you can also get Loathsome Memory of the Dying (Gray Crystal) from the Crystal Tower raids in the FAQ

obsidian patio
#

Yes. I only wanted to list the zones and not instances.

midnight lion
#

oh I see!

obsidian patio
#

with Bozja being an exception due to castrum giving more

lethal mist
#

I assume if I make a black mage or some other caster, I could use the same gear as my BLU at least up to 70, no? I mean, it is just Intelligence that's important for casters unless I missed something

glossy flare
#

Not just intelligence but that is the most important stat

#

and yes, blu would be fine with that

agile laurel
#

in terms of 'stat that makes the job work' yes, int is the one

#

in terms of itemisation, blu DEVOURS crit so you want as much of that as possible if you care about substats

#

a little bit of sps is also nice

magic light
#

can i stop chat auto scroll?

#

whenver i scroll up and click something else on chat

#

it just scrolls back down

#

it's annoying

agile laurel
#

unrelated: what's the best source of timeworn artifacts? unsure how the droprate in potd functions

oak ice
#

The droprate in potd is shit until you get down below floor 100, then it's slightly less shit

midnight lion
#

best to do DR for timeworns

warm snow
#

Unless you can get a group together as a Dr run usually takes 45 mins and with a good group you can run 51-200 in 4ish hours

agile laurel
#

So DR unless organised. Sure

warm snow
#

On your own Dr is unfortunately the best way to go. Maybe you'll get lucky and grab some resell able stuff in the process

#

Golden gabe keys still go for around 4 mill

velvet briar
#

can someone help me do the Great Hunt trial? maybe as undersized

warm snow
velvet briar
#

oh sry

honest anvil
#

Best to put up your own pf for that one

lethal mist
#

I went to learn Level 5 Death from Page 64 but it just kept casting that Death Ray. Is that it and I was just unlucky or is it actually called "Level 5 Death"?

warm snow
#

That's it, it's weird about it tho

lethal mist
#

Oh so it IS the death ray?

#

I had to kill Demon Wall to get to the first Page 64's. How many are there in total in the dungeon?

warm snow
#

Correct enemy

#

Different spell

#

Iirc it only casts it if there's only one enemy

#

Or something like that

#

I can't fully remember

lethal mist
#

Well I'm alone...

obsidian patio
#

i usually see it cast it if you put some distance away from it

warm snow
#

Then wait

lethal mist
#

Ah I see

#

Crap killed 3 so far. Hope ther are more of them. Kinda meh to solo bosses in here

#

Sweet, distance helped! Thanks!

oblique yew
#

can i just sell the weapons to any merchant?

agile laurel
#

yep

#

no merchant gives better price for anything over any other

midnight lion
#

doesn't doman enclave give you more gil per item?

agile laurel
#

erm. possibly

#

but if so it's the only exception iirc.

midnight lion
#

yeah

lethal mist
#

What're good single target dps spells? I'm still using whater cannon on BLU >_>.

obsidian patio
#

any 220 potency spell

lethal mist
#

Really? So water cannon being 200 isn't even that far off?

obsidian patio
#

basically pick whatever has your preferred form of aoe/targeting

lethal mist
#

I have a few AoE choices but they're also 200-220

#

I thougth there were higher ones, like 300 400...

obsidian patio
#

yes but they're not stuff you can spam constantly

#

or have conditionals

lethal mist
#

Ah

obsidian patio
#

In terms of general overworld content the best overall spell is Choco Meteor, which has 300 potency when you have your chocobo out.

#

Saintly Beam does 500 potency, but that's only on undead targets and requires being level 70 to unlock

feral lion
#

On White Mage when should you use cure II instend of cure I

I heard someone saying you should replace cure I with cure II except if you're low on mana

But i also heard you need to use cure I except if your tank is low on health

obsidian patio
#

basically always use cure 2 over cure 1 if your mana isn't too low

#

Eventually WHM's mana efficiency is so good that cure 1 becomes a waste to ever cast

feral lion
#

When should you use cure III?

obsidian patio
#

That's for AoE healing where everyone is clumped up.

#

the ideal scenario is for stack markers

#

or heavy raidwide damage and everyone is sticking close.

feral lion
#

Ok

agile laurel
#

that is never correct

#

yes, cure 2 should be treated as an upgrade to cure 1

lethal mist
#

Without spoiling too much: Does Battle on the Keep unlock by further doing Hildibrand quests? I've passed the Bridge one a while back just curious about the next one.

obsidian patio
#

yes

lethal mist
#

Ty

honest anvil
#

wonderous tales?

nova umbra
#

do shards expire? They look pretty and I'm wondering if I can keep them for decor

slate wave
#

Cactpot mini?

glossy flare
#

fashion report once a week gives a decent amount

quaint flicker
#

@cosmic fern Fashion Report

glossy flare
#

and is super easy

#

and honestly, playing mini cactpot doesnt hurt much

#

can only really win

slate wave
#

Ive won 10k MGP a day from cactpot mini and ive only had the golden saucer unlocked for 4 days...

glossy flare
#

with those 2 + fashion report you should get whatever you want from the gold saucer in okay time

#

not like they have tons of things people want anyway

feral lion
#

I got the adamantoise

glossy flare
#

true, but fashion report alone is a minimum of 80k a week

slate wave
#

Whats a good way to lvl up if i dont wanna rush thru the story? Queueing for leveling dungeons isnt helping cause i keep getting into the ifrit fight

glossy flare
#

sure it'll take some time but it also takes almost no effort and can just be done on the side

zinc orbitBOT
feral lion
#

Queue to highest dungeon

glossy flare
#

Yeah, dont queue for leveling roulette over and over

#

it's only worth it once a day for the bonus

feral lion
#

Only once a day

slate wave
#

Oh ok

feral lion
#

For dps potd is better

#

1-61 for dps potd
For healer and tank highest dungeon

oblique yew
#

can i just build full augmented cryptlurker set for dancer?

leaden ginkgo
#

Can we trust the Recommended Gear system?

feral lion
#

Not always

leaden ginkgo
#

Or use our own intuition

#

Ah okay

glossy flare
oblique yew
#

no

feral lion
#

Once it reccomented me ring with +1 inteligence instend of the one with better stats

oblique yew
#

token echange or something

feral lion
#

Like +9 crit

obsidian patio
leaden ginkgo
glossy flare
leaden ginkgo
#

Starter earring instead of a blue one

#

Lvl50 blue

glossy flare
#

Eh, +1 int is probably better than +9 crit

feral lion
#

Blue better

#

But it have not only crit

glossy flare
#

the recommended gear system actually works pretty well for the most part

#

Yes but int is a main stat which have a way bigger impact on performance than substats

feral lion
#

For most but not all

#

Well, you can also buy a cheap ring with +21 inteligence for 20k propably

glossy flare
#

Sorry I meant 60k, but the point still stands. It takes little effort for a decent chunk of MGP

leaden ginkgo
#

One more question. Where can I get a better staff as a free trail BLM? Currently I have Keep of Saints (Green lvl43). I also have a Ivory staff (normal lvl49). The former one has an additional bonus of +12 skill speed. The latter has better Mgk DMG (+3). Both since they're both not blue, I believe I could get something better

#

Also, for now, which of the two is better?

glossy flare
#

For which lvl?

leaden ginkgo
#

I'm currently lvl55

feral lion
obsidian patio
#

what is your current story quest?

leaden ginkgo
#

But lvl49 msq

obsidian patio
#

use the one with more magic damage

shrewd owl
#

pretty sure you have access to mor dhona at that point

leaden ginkgo
#

Need to do Castrum Meridianum

shrewd owl
#

and yeah more damage is better

obsidian patio
#

that is worth a lot more than the spell speed

glossy flare
#

Just do a tiny bit more msq and you will unlock the ironworks gear

leaden ginkgo
#

Ah! Thanks

obsidian patio
#

Weapon Damage/Magic Damage >>>>> Main stats (STR/DEX/INT/VIT/MND) >>>>> Secondary stats

#

this works like 99.99% of the time

glossy flare
#

Just have to buy the gear for poetics

leaden ginkgo
#

Okay, so more focus on the primary stats, got it

#

Thanks

glossy flare
#

There's a full set, including armour and accessories and it will be the best you can get until you start the first expansion

#

or rather are in the middle of it

leaden ginkgo
#

I see

oblique yew
#

is macro necessary late game?

glossy flare
#

No, in fact most macros are bad

obsidian patio
#

If a macro involves a GCD or more than one oGCD it's probably a bad macro.

nova umbra
#

just making sure, there are no arr relic weapons for machinist right?

obsidian patio
#

nope.

#

Jobs don't retroactively get relics for level caps they weren't out for.

hey everyone, where can I find rotations for crafting jobs at lvls 60/70 ?

I only find guides with cross class skills, but I saw that they removed this

#

Hey guys. Just re-subbed after a 2 year break and feel very lost. Would it make sense to create a new character or start a new class on my old character? Basically just looking to understand where I should pick up 🙂

jolly sorrel
#

There's no real answer to that. Personally I'd use my old character and abuse the heck out of the NN for help

agile laurel
#

What's the name of the BGM that plays against some of Carnivale and some of the non-specific Omegascape bosses?

halcyon storm
#

whats "NN"? 🙂

obsidian patio
#

Deltascape bosses besides ExDeath use "Omega^2" as their boss theme, Sigmascape besides Kefka's later phases use "A Battle Decisively"

#

Novice Network, basically a new player global chat channel

ripe hawk
#

I was doing the trial on the official launcher version, and just bought the full game on Steam, can I have it somehow detect the game files so I don't have to download the whole game again or are they completely separate?

halcyon storm
#

ah ok thanks, novice network seems just what im looking for

#

appreciate it guys

jolly sorrel
#

If you're a Returning Player, you get an invite to the NN automatically. If you are a sprout, you gotta find a mentor on your service to invite you

#

Probably just shout in your starting city and someone will respond

mental oracle
#

how do you enable dps meter?

jolly sorrel
#

DPS meter does not exist in-game. There are third party tools, but they're sorta hush hush so that's something you'll have to Google yourself.

mental oracle
#

oh ok

ACT/Parsing

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

Oorrrrr we have a tag for it. Works for me!

What’s the item name of the lv80 striking dummy? I bought one without knowing the level and it’s a lv50. 🧐

compact pawn
#

how do yall get good info on the market? universalis only has history for this month and mogboard only has history up to december 2019 wtf xd

heavy wadi
#

tbh I just scan it myself, look at things like maybe ores or ingots/nuggets and see what selling a lot

compact pawn
#

but i want to see price history over like a few months

warm snow
#

Okay but why though

#

Each server and data center has its own economy

heavy wadi
#

there's really no reason to go that far back

#

if prices are down from back then, they probably won't be going back up to that point again

leaden ginkgo
#

To buy from MB?

#

I will check then!

compact pawn
#

i want to see the price of mariner cotton cloth and moonfire clothing items from before the current moogle event

wintry chasm
compact pawn
#

sure but its a whole year and then soem ago lol

obsidian patio
#

I’ll just tell you that the cloth is annoying to get the normal way so stockpiling on it may not be a bad idea if you’re looking in the long term

#

Also take a look at the things you can craft it into

#

And like that I’m going to sleep now

lethal mist
#

Ehm, can I solo Battle in the Big Keep as BLU 70 to get the ability? Else I guess I gotta make a Party?

open ember
#

You can but it's not a guaranteed drop

proud willow
#

If you solo it unsynced, the chance of learning the spell will be less than 100%

lethal mist
#

Well how do I get in with 100%+

open ember
#

Go in a party of full BLUs or just synced in a full party

proud willow
#

Synced in a full party, yeah

lethal mist
#

So Party Finder but keep it synced, enough?

open ember
#

As long as its synced + full patyy, its 100%

#

Yes

lethal mist
#

Ok cool, thanks!

gritty oracle
#

well, you don't even need a full party

lethal mist
#

if it's synced I reccon it helps

open ember
#

Its better to benefit from a full party anyway

#

Just be sure to sync it

lethal mist
#

Yeah I'm not gonna tick "underleveled" so it's cool 🙂

#

"undersized" even

gritty oracle
#

I heard there's an issue with E12S that a platform change forces the fairy to heel. Is that in P1 or P2?

lethal mist
#

Role restrictions aren't needed right, just being synced is enough to guarantee to get the spell from the battle?

crystal gyro
#

Anyone playing on a 3440x1440 monitor? The UI resolution on 200% (WQHD) settings looks just weird and way to big. What are you playing the ones on higher res?

tiny cairn
#

im using 2560x1440 with standard ui

#

looks fine

shrewd viper
tiny cairn
#

4k was too much for my video card

lethal mist
#

It's almost impossible to find people who need this cleared. What's the % chance to get Missile if I clear Battle on the Keep unsynced?

#

Is it like 60%? Cause worth doing that a couple of times instead of waiting for a full party it seems

jolly sorrel
#

I got it by waiting for more active times on the server.

#

Got a full blue party and ran a crapton of fights in a row for everyone

late creek
#

For stat allocation for a dark knight for the resistance weapon what should i be putting those 1k points in?

lethal mist
#

Oh I see, that's smart. I assume the roles can be all random then.

lethal mist
late creek
#

tenacity determination crit and sks

shrewd viper
#

crit>det>sks probably

#

unless the sks is gonna fuck with a stat tier

#

but u should be fine

late creek
#

idk. i just dumped it all into sks crit and det

#

maxed out sks and crit cause why not

shrewd viper
#

sounds close enough

#

yea

#

as long as ur not dumpin like 500 into tenacity

late creek
#

is tenacity just useless?

shrewd viper
#

its like the defense stat but like..........

#

its not worth it

#

nearly ever

left moth
#

tenacity is better described than in practice (it requires excessive amounts to act as passive mitigation and the healing buff effect is for self healing, not from a healer. det is a little more useful as a pure damage stat)

#

I wouldn't avoid it but wouldn't meld it either

wispy peak
#

how long does it take to complete story up to 5.4

sour ruin
#

From where?

wispy peak
#

the start

glossy flare
#

Probably around 300 hours

#

Plus minus something, depending on how you play or if you rush

sour ruin
#

Just take your time, next expansion is months away

leaden ginkgo
#

What do you suggest melding materias for healer? I added all as critical rate and direct hit rate, I should add determination too right?

mortal verge
#

Is there any benefit to having Shadowbringers before I'm at the required level/quest completion? I'm not even at 20 yet lol

sour ruin
#

Only if you want the special edition stuff

#

Where can I get Items to equip to my head body etc....

There should be a vendor in the settlement where he is

#

Has a pouch icon on the map

#

@wintry chasm Thank you

#

How can I return to my home world?

half kraken
# late creek is tenacity just useless?

There are situations where you would actually use it, for example WAR does not generally meld any dhit, which makes tnc an option to meld on equipment that has crit/det capped and you're already at the sks tier you want to be

half kraken

@half kraken Thank you 🙂

Hi. I’ve completed msq. Now I learned that there are side quests going back as far as ARR that are relevant to the main story. How do I access them after completing msq?

Just do them tbh, they start wherever they start and work just like any other quest

#

Which quests are you talking about? Could point you in the right direction

with Bahamut, Loiuseaux

You want the ARR 8-man raid then

called Coils

#

Go to the Waking Sands

#

Talk to Urianger

Doesn't matter

The quest is still there

The quest is still with Urianger in the waking sands

even if what happens in those quests obviously takes place way before Shadowbringers
