Exarchic

warm snow
#

And only the crafted gear

cloud lake
#

Alright cool thought thats what it meant wasn't so sure. Thanks

warm snow
#

Exarchic gear (510) can be augmented to augmented exarchic gear(520)

onyx anchor
#

Who gives the Sylph Management quest?

faint flare
#

The main story

onyx anchor
#

*stare*

faint flare
#

We're not kidding when we say story locks everything

#

Including jobs

warm snow
#

EVERYTHING

strange coral
#

Minfilia does, but you can't skip ahead to it

wintry chasm
#

Yeah I don't know why you really care

#

but yeah it's Minfilia

#

knowing that doesn't change anything though

warm snow
#

Final fantasy game first, mmo second

onyx anchor
warm snow
#

You should have a hud element pointing you at your next main scenario quest

tropic bear
warm snow
#

By default its in the top left corner

obsidian needle
#

Are these the correct attributes for redmage? I didnt expect to get stuck in menus and reassurance before i turn it in

faint flare
#

Yee

#

Thats how all dps spread ot

obsidian needle
#

Alright, thank you.

faint flare
#

Black mage may dab into speed

novel acorn
#

Im still having issues getting the game to launch. How do I submit a ticket?

tropic bear
#

I've only finished ARR, but even in Praetorium you let the main bad guy walk away 3 times

obsidian needle
#

Ill look it up next time before I turn it in, ive just been staring at that menu and frantically googling trying to find an answer before I remembered i had here

tropic bear
#

but thanks for the spoilers I guess :p

wintry chasm
#

Yeah Kat idk why you said that

#

I'd....edit that message @warm snow

tropic bear
#

is FFXIV still worth playing if it's been spoiled for me?

wintry chasm
#

I mean

#

All things considered I think you're fine

#

not like he spoiled the entire fucking plot

#

lol

faint flare
#

You dont know who the villains are

wintry chasm
#

Or like

#

rather, also like, what a villain is not the entire plot

#

You're fiiiine

#

If you know Snape kills Dumbledore you can still enjoy Harry Potter

onyx anchor
#

aight i need help again
serpent or storm?

#

:p

wintry chasm
#

Which ever one you like more

onyx anchor
#

i can't decide

wintry chasm
#

so Maelstrom

tropic bear
glossy flare
#

flames then

onyx anchor
#

no

tropic bear
#

Shutter Island was spoiled for me and it completely ruined it for me

onyx anchor
#

not flame

#

i hate them

wintry chasm
#

I really think you're fine Kalam

#

I have a really bad issue where I always remember spoilers when I get hit by them

#

but even then, you'd probably forget the Stormblood one

tropic bear
#

is there a spoiler-free chat for questions here somewhere?

wintry chasm
#

Well

#

That is meant to be here

#

Kat did a big bad is all

tall vault
#

Hello, i was wondering if it's possible to share my refer a friend code on this server somewhere?

strange coral
cold frost
#

updated IE , still get the same error

tropic bear
primal ermine
#

Maybe something to do with Internet exploerer?

cold frost
strange coral
#

Just to check something... You said you played for 4 days and then there was an update. Was that 4 days recent? Because they hasn't been an update for several weeks.

manic flare
#

can anyone explain how S marks/A marks system works?

do they spawn randomly or do people just trigger them somehow?

cold frost
#

4 days since sunday or so

#

and the game downloaded and patched no problem

faint flare
twilit arch
#

A ranks spawn randomly on a timer, S ranks have a timer + spawn conditions

cold frost
#

then this patch (5.5 i think) comes out and i cant download it or anything

faint flare
#

The patch hasnt happened.yet

manic flare
leaden ginkgo
#

Welp after sampling what its like to be a tank idk if i enjoy the responsibility's vs me playing as a black mage cus i have to keep track of when to stun the beast or not 0-0 vs when all i had to do was damage the enemies

faint flare
#

You dont need to stun things

cold frost
leaden ginkgo
#

Ye but its morally appropriate to do so

faint flare
#

I've used the stun a total of 2 times

cold frost
#

and i played until tuesday fine

twilit arch
#

we know roughly when A ranks will spawn yes

oak ice
#

The timer is random between 36 and 72 hours after killing it

faint flare
#

The patch is april 13th

oak ice
#

For s ranks

#

A rank is 3 to 6, I think

twilit arch
#

4-6h

#

for expansion, ARR timers are a bit weirder

leaden ginkgo
faint flare
#

No

#

No one cares

manic flare
#

so how do people figure out when which marks are going to spawn where?

faint flare
#

White mages build the stu. Resistance anyway

leaden ginkgo
#

I have the 2 abilitys to stun or ajject er whatever its called

faint flare
#

No one will notice you if you stun a singular mob

oak ice
#

They have set spawn locations

leaden ginkgo
crystal bluff
#

stunning largely doesnt matter
theres a couple of ARR bosses that it helps, but not worth sweating over

faint flare
#

Bosses are immune

#

Post arr

#

So

faint flare
#

Literally doesn't matter

oak ice
#

And usually, the hunt shells have a clique of people running around looking for them so their friends won't miss out on anything

leaden ginkgo
faint flare
#

Yep

#

Arr is weird

leaden ginkgo
#

Ok maybe i will stay on paladin then...

#

I just hate having to watch so many things during a boss fight

#

I have hp bar down by the ability bars

#

So i can see when to stun lol

faint flare
#

You dont need to stun things

#

Like

#

At all

frigid pelican
#

where can i see cloth critic?

leaden ginkgo
#

It just sucked is all and i felt myself doing so much watching out for that and abilitys that cant be stunned like yada yada

faint flare
#

The only important one is Interject buuuut dungeons basically dont have anything important to interject

manic flare
#

is the april patch gonna be the last one before EW?

faint flare
#

In the whole time of the expansion, there's been only 2 things

#

That you kinda want to interject

twilit arch
#

yes 5.5 is the last major patch before the expac

heavy wadi
leaden ginkgo
faint flare
#

One in Dohn mheg, a 73 dungeon to stop a damage buff

manic flare
heavy wadi
#

no

twilit arch
#

no

heavy wadi
#

5.55 is relic stuff, thus bis

twilit arch
#

plus savage has already been around

faint flare
#

One in Heroes gauntlet, to stop the healers using protect and slowing pulls

twilit arch
#

so bis weapons have already been released

faint flare
#

In Raids there's more

#

But they're scripted as shit

leaden ginkgo
#

Huh

frigid pelican
#

where i see cloth critic?

faint flare
#

In dungeons you can get by without stuns or interject

leaden ginkgo
#

Ok

#

Do bloodshower and rising windmill actually do less damage (AoE) than Bladeshower / windmill?

faint flare
#

You'll make your life harder in Dohn mheg without interject

twilit arch
#

not sure what you mean by cloth critic?

manic flare
#

only time i use interject is the miniboss in Sirensong sea

#

but i've been told that you should also use interject in The Vault

faint flare
#

The crab?

manic flare
#

the one that uses seduce

frigid pelican
#

@twilit arch daily thing for 60000mgp

leaden ginkgo
#

When is sage going to be released?

faint flare
#

You can't interject that

frigid pelican
#

weekly*

faint flare
leaden ginkgo
#

Heck

manic flare
agile laurel
#

wtf can you interject in vault

faint flare
#

There's only one thing that seduces and thats the second boss

strange coral
agile laurel
#

oh, black nebula

frigid pelican
#

ty

leaden ginkgo
agile laurel
#

the thick boys cast their moves

faint flare
#

Dancer

twilit arch
#

there's the add before the final boss in sirensong that you can interject

agile laurel
#

but it makes no difference if you interject or not

leaden ginkgo
faint flare
#

Yes

manic flare
glossy flare
#

it just consists of pressing the glowy buttons

faint flare
#

Dance on cooldown and press glowy button

manic flare
#

he uses seduce that can be interjected

faint flare
#

What pack is it in

leaden ginkgo
faint flare
#

OH the ghost

#

Yeah

#

Him

manic flare
faint flare
#

I remember

#

Spoopy bou

granite zephyr
#

how do I get the magitek armor mount? I have the key it says to place it near a suit of armor but idk where those are or anything

manic flare
#

so about the Vault, what mobs should i interject?

leaden ginkgo
#

Vinyl if not dancer whats the second easiest job 0-0?

manic flare
#

i've been yelled aat for not interjecting in the vault

faint flare
granite zephyr
twilit arch
#

once you use the key, the mount is in your /mountguide @granite zephyr

#

key is in your inventory

oak ice
#

In the vault there's nothing to interject

faint flare
leaden ginkgo
#

I thought machinest was hard

strange coral
faint flare
#

The key IS the mount

granite zephyr
#

oh alright my bad

faint flare
#

Machinist has very few buttons and straightforward rotation

#

Just high apm during Hypercharge

manic flare
#

can you interject the giant colossus in doma castle?

#

does shinryu scale and mount have similar drop rate?

FAQ Listing

wondroustails

strange coral
#

Do that in #kupo-bot-spam please. We only use it here to answer questions.

hollow violet
#

Is there a guide somewhere to when you should reroll your tails book or when the odds aren't worth it?

#

For example I have all 9 stamps for this week and 1 line complete. Should I reroll to try for two or am I more likely to get 0

strange coral
#

I haven't seen any guide. I usually just shuffle at 7/9 until I have at least one line.

raven sage
#

You also can't reroll past 7 stamps

hollow violet
#

ah okay so I should have done that earlier. Thanks

#

Do my second chances carry over to next week?

raven sage
#

Yeah

boreal storm
#

They only go if they’re used

hollow violet
#

Where can I see the reward options for the certificates vs the MGP? The wiki just says a "line 1/2/3 reward"

raven sage
#

Talk to khloe

boreal storm
#

Talk to khloe, bronze silver gold lists are right under receive tails

hollow violet
#

thanks!

tropic bear
#

is there an easy way to swap between jobs

gusty bison
#

random question. How do i unlock Wawalago in Limsa for Triple Triad

boreal storm
tropic bear
# boreal storm Gear sets

can I have a hot bar or something that is universal to all jobs so I can have gear sets on that hotbar?

glossy flare
#

yup

honest anvil
#

ye make a gear set then put that set on your hotbar

glossy flare
#

you can put gearsets on a hotbar

#

then just make that hotbar persisent

#

and there you go

tropic bear
#

yeah but when I change jobs the hotbars change

#

how do I do that sorry?

glossy flare
#

character config -> hotbar settings -> sharing

#

can set which hotbars are shared across all jobs there

tropic bear
#

thanks 🙂

stone stone
#

Whats the recommended way to grind out Irregular Tomestones right now?

#

*fastest

glossy flare
#

blue mage aurum vale

strange coral
gusty bison
#

ah ty ty

#

awesome that worked :)

stone stone
#

Hmm is aurum vale faster than wanderers palace?

jolly sorrel
glossy flare
#

well... 3 blus and one tank

stone stone
#

Can you not do unsynced to get the tomes?

glossy flare
#

nope

stone stone
#

really?

glossy flare
#

has to be synced

boreal storm
#

That’s the caveat

glossy flare
#

otherwise the fastest way would probably to solo the damn dungeons

#

that would be a bit too easy 😄

stone stone
#

Wait don't you have to be unsynced to use a blue mage in a dungeon

glossy flare
#

you just can't queue regularly via duty finder

#

can still do duties synced with a full party though

boreal storm
#

No just need to be in party finder

stone stone
#

Dam I don't really have a group to do it with :\ guess im doing duty finder, might was well do the raids at that point...

boreal storm
#

Just join someone else’s group/ bring in randos

leaden ginkgo
#

What does hard casting mean?

honest anvil
#

You can put up a party in pf

faint flare
#

Hardcasting is casting with a cast bar

honest anvil
#

An example is no swift cast res ¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

or no dual verstone, verfire

noble pollen
#

If youre on duty finder can you switch classes but still join in as the class you searched with?

faint flare
#

You'll have to swap back when it pops

noble pollen
#

Ok thanks

strange coral
jolly sorrel
#

Alas, thank youl.

halcyon rune
#

The new Limited Levelling Roulette option can only be used with a party of 4 or can you pick it solo?

strange coral
#

Party of 4 required

#

"Parties that meet the minimum size requirements"

halcyon rune
#

Understandable, otherwise there would be no people for low level.

harsh torrent
#

SAM is as simple as it seems right?

#

like at least at level 50

faint flare
#

It starts basic

harsh torrent
#

you just keep gaining stances and then Iai

open coral
#

Uh

#

Sort of

harsh torrent
#

nice

faint flare
#

You put yhe dot up with 1 sen

open coral
#

You don't want to just do three stickers then iai

glossy flare
#

it does get more complex when you also have the other gaige to manage

open coral
#

You want to keep Higanbana up

harsh torrent
#

aah

glossy flare
#

also this ^

faint flare
#

Get buffs > put up dot > get other stickers then midare

harsh torrent
#

the initial iai

open coral
#

Yes

harsh torrent
#

nice

open coral
#

That's a dot

harsh torrent
#

yeah

glossy flare
#

and use goken in aoe situations

#

3+ targets

open coral
#

So you want to make sure you're maintaining that.

harsh torrent
#

does it do bleed

glossy flare
#

instead of midare

jolly sorrel
#

Limited Leveling Roulette?

open coral
#

It's damage over time

#

Like a bleed

faint flare
#

Higabana is more potent than midare

harsh torrent
#

yep, just meant what the explaination of it is lmao

faint flare
#

If lift to tick

harsh torrent
#

cool cool

#

so you just keep a decent tempo at it

open coral
#

Yes

manic flare
#

are there any exceptions to the rule that you use AOE moves in mobs with 3 or more enemies?

open coral
#

Don't freestyle your SAM and you'll be fine, basically.

harsh torrent
#

are there any initial buffing I should do before it also

faint flare
#

Its the most important thibg ti keep up to boss fight

#

Yes

faint flare
#

Get shifu and jinpu up

manic flare
faint flare
#

Then hig

#

Yes

little swift
glossy flare
#

also healer dots

#

they have different thresholds

nimble shale

Hi friends

faint flare

No

nimble shale

leaden ginkgo

Vinyl can i ask u a question

vital ruin
#

Best way to lvl culinary to 80?
Ishgard?

onyx anchor
#

there is?! gasp

little swift
#

Its under keybinds @onyx anchor

#

Tab is hotbar in that window

glossy flare
#

it's highly recommended to rebind them actually

twilit arch
glossy flare
#

on keyboard + mouse at least

vital ruin
#

I c

onyx anchor
vital ruin
#

Im saving the leves for biscuits

#

Can you make HQ biscuits with handking set

twilit arch
#

yes

vital ruin
#

Whew

twilit arch
#

er

#

well handking might be pushing it a bit

honest anvil
#

unless you have godly patience to turn in 900 biscuits at once, no need to save

vital ruin
#

Huh

little swift
#

Each leve you can submit a set of 3 biscuits

#

3 times

#

So thats 9 cookies per leve

twilit arch
#

you can use teamcraft to doublecheck

open ember
#

999 biscuits is good way to make money but it is time consuming

vital ruin
#

I c

twilit arch
#

or wait until you're 75 and trial synth it

vital ruin
#

Idk any other way to make money

little swift
#

100 leves x 9 is 900 cookies you need to make

vital ruin
#

Biscuits are constant

harsh torrent
#

@onyx anchor if on a controller just hold RT/2 and select

vital ruin
#

I hate playing the auction house cos people in my dc are just stupid

#

So I'll go for biscuits

honest anvil
#

ye it’s a good way to use leve but there’s no need to “save” leves for that ...

vital ruin
#

I c

#

Are leve crafts difficult

stone stone
#

How do you get back to Crystal Tower from after the guy at the dig site disappears?

#

(in the first)

honest anvil
#

I usually can only turn in 20 biscuit leves at once before i lose it xD

vital ruin
#

Aslong as I'm getting paid I'll be fine

twilit arch
#

there's a ferry near the keeper of the lake that will take you to the trench

#

if you mean while in the crystarium, its just talking to the guard to go to the exarch's chambers

stone stone
#

The keeper of the artifact or w/e guy isn't there

#

in the trench the npc guy isn't there

#

Anyone?

twilit arch
#

can you screenshot the npcs in the trench/

honest anvil
#

dont you have to go to a special area to then get to a guy offering you to travel to norvrant?

strange coral
#

Yes, that's the trench

honest anvil
#

perhaps you can go to crystarium, then go back to the trench from there?

#

to find that guy

stone stone
#

Npc gone

strange coral
#

What's your current MSQ?

stone stone
#

Uh try to say it without spoiling anything, but its the dungeon you get right after the "Warriors of light" show up at eldimore

twilit arch
#

"The Converging Light"?

stone stone
#

Yers

#

Yes*

twilit arch
#

huh...not sure why the npc isn't there, but can you not teleport back?

heavy wadi
#

can't you just teleport to eulmore?

stone stone
#

Didn't want to waste a aeytherite ticket or pay 999 gil :\

faint flare
#

Thats barely anything

heavy wadi
#

it's absolutely nothing lol

stone stone
#

Regardless this is weird...

honest anvil
#

have you cleared seat of sacrifice?

twilit arch
#

no, they're before it

heavy wadi
#

just teleport to eulmore and continue

twilit arch
#

you could make a support ticket to ask if its a bug but probably just going to have to teleport

honest anvil
#

But that makes sense then cause ct is locked out at that point, no?

heavy wadi
stone stone
#

It stills dumb tho, like story wise I don't see why that would be the case

heavy wadi
#

because... they expect you to just teleport there?

#

999 gil is pocket change at 80

twilit arch
#

well they're also likely not expecting you to leave the first mid msq at that point

stone stone
#

I mean, thats true for Kugane, but theirs still the npc to ship you there for 300 gil in limsa

leaden ginkgo
#

Is playing samurai frowned apon?

faint flare
#

No

heavy wadi
#

no

primal ermine
#

Nope

faint flare
#

Only if you're trash

leaden ginkgo
#

Im seeing since it has no "utility" they dont like it

#

Oh i see

primal ermine
#

Its all about the dps

faint flare
#

But thats you thing

jolly sorrel
#

Or if you're using Bleach quotes in macros

faint flare
#

Not a a job thing

primal ermine
heavy wadi
#

that applies to every class, if you're good they don't care but if you're trash you're trash

faint flare
#

Sadly

primal ermine
#

Awww

leaden ginkgo
#

Is samurai or black mage harder to play?

remote lintel
#

subjective

leaden ginkgo
#

Got it

remote lintel
#

id say blm is harder to play optimally

honest anvil
#

blm imo .. but different people have different answers

remote lintel
#

but theyre both pretty easy to pick up

leaden ginkgo
#

Ye

modest igloo
#

Depends on what you’ve played before tbh

leaden ginkgo
#

I have a black mage already but uh i was curious about samurai

faint flare
#

Low skill floors, high skill ceiling

remote lintel
#

if you can play blm you can play sam

leaden ginkgo
#

What dies thet even mean really

#

Low skill floor high skill cealing

remote lintel
#

it means theyre easy to pick up but hard to play masterfully

faint flare
#

It means its easy to do the raw basics

#

But hard to play at the top level

open coral
#

Another way to say it would be "easy to learn, difficult to master"

leaden ginkgo
#

Ok

primal ermine
#

Easy to pick up and it has a lot to learn

leaden ginkgo
#

Whats harder to master then? Or is that subjective as well?

honest anvil
#

probably blm still

remote lintel
#

black mage imo

leaden ginkgo
#

Truth be told i enjoy black mage i think it was at lvl 59 when i stopped playing

honest anvil
#

mastering blm = master dps kit, master movement kit, and master your understanding of all mechanics of a fight

leaden ginkgo
#

However im wanting to try diffrent things

oak ice
#

Highly subjective. Sometimes you just click with a job and find it to be the easiest shit ever

remote lintel
#

then try samurai

leaden ginkgo
#

Got it

open coral
leaden ginkgo
#

Im also seeing red mage as a option but it has lower dps then ithers

#

And idk ima just try sam then

glossy flare
#

rdm has very respectable dps though

open coral
#

Whereas I find AST and SCH to be near incomprehensible, but many people find them very easy.

open ember
#

Rdm is a bit of a pain to optimize in savage (hi I play it in savage) but its quite easy to pick up

glossy flare
#

Plus you shouldn't pick your jobs based on which has the most dps

modest igloo
#

Red mage has utilitiy to make the damage about equal

heavy wadi
#

Meanwhile I struggle with WHM and AST but SCH is a piece of cake for me

leaden ginkgo
#

I dont hate spamming buttons but i hate having alot of different buttons to press

heavy wadi
#

everyone will give you a different answer

remote lintel
#

well samurai has more buttons than blm at high level

glossy flare
#

Because while in theory something like SAM may have high dps that means nothing if you can't hit that high dps

#

Heck, some DNC might out dps you

heavy wadi
open ember
#

I would honestly say, play a class you like the most in savage. Don't play based on what you think does more dmg. You might dislike the class trying to play it like that

heavy wadi
#

or, most will

leaden ginkgo
#

Yes however some buttons like attacking are more important

open ember
#

Just play what you like

modest igloo
#

MCH only needs like 1 and a half

open ember
#

All classes perform good if optimized well

glossy flare
#

rude

leaden ginkgo
#

0-0 im moody idk what i like lol

remote lintel
#

just play them all 5head

glossy flare
#

I mean Katana are cool

modest igloo
#

Try them all out

glossy flare
#

Be a Katana guy

open ember
#

LOL

#

just play what you like

#

That's all I will say

leaden ginkgo
#

I just want a class i can play and no one will look at me to do something in my skills

primal ermine
#

Get em all to 80, problem solved

remote lintel
#

so you want an easy brain off class

open coral
#

Try everything out until you find something that you gel with.

jolly sorrel
#

What is this "Limited Leveling Roulette" that was mentioned earlier? Or did I misunderstand something?

leaden ginkgo
#

Ye but still high dps

open ember
#

Rdm and drg

remote lintel
#

monk or drg

leaden ginkgo
#

Which is where u say rdm

glossy flare
#

rdm is actually pretty straight forward with good dps

remote lintel
#

or dnc

leaden ginkgo
#

Monk has alot tho

finite cedar
#

How do I unlock dragoon I have a level 30 lancer but the quest doesnt show up

open ember
#

oh dnc yes

glossy flare
#

since you said you may wanna try that

open coral
#

DRG is not a brain off class.

glossy flare
#

monk has very few actual skills tbh

remote lintel
#

monk is pretty easy when you figure out how it works

glossy flare
#

just lots of positionals

#

but you do get that down with time

open coral
#

DRG has a lot going on with positionals and maintaining Blood of the Dragon

remote lintel
#

monk and drg you literally just flip flop between 2 combos and bam youre doing it

#

drg only has 3 positionals

open ember
#

Monk is constant positionals tho

remote lintel
#

and doing your combo automatically maintains botd

Whats a positional

modest igloo
#

All of the classes have something to make them complex

remote lintel
#

a skill that requires you to hit a certain part of the boss

glossy flare
#

certain skills need to be hit from a certain side of the enemy

#

flank or back only though

Visual Example of Positionals
boreal storm
#

Use from behind/ side for more damage

open coral
#

Positionals are skills that have increased potency if used from the flank or rear.

leaden ginkgo
open ember
#

See image

modest igloo
#

Fair enough

remote lintel
#

monk is literally flank flank rear > rear rear flank > flank flank rear > repeat until the end of time

glossy flare
#

well not all positionals are about potency to be fair but that's getting off topic

#

I guess ultimately they are but whatever

open ember
#

Melee classes are all positional based

leaden ginkgo
#

Monk doesnt sound like me

open ember
#

And its important to hit them all the time

#

Hitting positionals on melee grants dmg boost and combos

#

/usually

remote lintel
#

the thing with samurai is that it has no party utility so you NEED to do high dps to make up for your lack of support

#

otherwise youre basically dragging your party down

gleaming mist
#

you need to do good dps with every job

leaden ginkgo
#

Whats the issue with black mage?

gleaming mist
#

you can't overcome being bad with party buffs

primal ermine
open ember
#

No party buffs either

glossy flare
#

black mage has very long cast times so movement hurts your dps

remote lintel
#

blm requires you to learn to use its movement skills

glossy flare
#

which means you have to have good fight knowledge

#

at all times

gleaming mist
#

not exactly

open ember
#

BLM's difficult thing is. Positioning yourself

remote lintel
#

not necessarily

primal ermine
#

Some fights are hell for blm

remote lintel
#

you just need to learn how to use its movement skills

leaden ginkgo
remote lintel
#

you can get like 6 gcds of instant casts if you time it right

glossy flare
#

yeah on the plus side blm also has the most movement skills of all casters

#

which is great

leaden ginkgo
#

Ok one more info for me since you are all smart about this info

#

Whats bad about samurai?

agile laurel
#

nothing

remote lintel
#

it has no party buffs i guess

glossy flare
#

nothing really

leaden ginkgo
#

Hmm

glossy flare
#

not playing it well is bad I guess 😄

leaden ginkgo
#

Damnit

open ember
#

High dmg, no party buffs

leaden ginkgo
#

Ima have to play samurai and figure it out

glossy flare
#

Again, it's hard to be a great Samurai but not impossible either

#

pretty easy to be a decent Samurai though

leaden ginkgo
#

I did enjoy black mage

#

As goes for tank i no longer wan the responsibility :>

open ember
#

we honestly can't tell you if you'll like a class unless you completely play it yourself

glossy flare
#

blm kinda is the caster Samurai in terms of utility

open ember
#

Just try both

glossy flare
#

also pretty selfish dps

open ember
#

Then come to a conclusion

glossy flare
#

yea no harm in that

leaden ginkgo
#

Ye i want a class that just lets me focus on myself and no one else hahaha

primal ermine
#

Get it to 80 only then will you understand how it plays

glossy flare
#

well to be fair most party buffs are fire and forget

#

like rdm embolden you just pop regularly

#

and it boosts dmg

#

done

Is there any active group/discord for eureka nowadays? (Kinda tired pecked to death by griffin at pagos and none rez at that spot)

leaden ginkgo
#

So to be a good dps i need to learn rotations, to be a good tank i need to know when to read the room and use abilitys

#

Man

remote lintel
#

i mean yeah all dps require you to memorize its rotation

#

dps is probably the hardest role

faint flare
#

Tanking is just knowing when to use defensive cooldowns

remote lintel
#

because you need to do your rotation and dodge mechanics at the same time

#

tanking is just pressing 123 and using cds

#

and since i play a lot of DPS, healer is my current struggle, tho i got the basics down

its EX and up if youre doing the achievement thing

so are there any SB that's considered high end

so at this very point in time, its titan unreal/emerald ex/eden's promise savage/tea/ucob/uwu

Because SB isn't current

so i'm wondering which duties i did that was high-end

i'm still in stormblood

Stormblood Expansion Jobs: Red Mage (Caster DPS) and Samurai (Melee DPS). These jobs start at level 50 and require ownership of the Stormblood Expansion and a disciple of war or magic job at level 50.

Job Unlock Locations:
Red Mage - Distraught Lass at Ul'dah - Steps of Thal (14,12), quest name is "Taking the Red".
Samurai - Ul'dahn Citizen at Ul'dah - Steps of Nald (9,9), quest name is "The Way of the Samurai".

hi, just wondering if u can get reported just for using emote?

manic flare
#

no why would you?

strange coral
#

Maybe for a custom /em one, depending on what's in it

round crag
#

It depends if you spam it

#

With the messages in chat

#

If you don’t want messages to appear there’s an option for it and you can also write motion after the emote

#

Like /laugh motion

sage sapphire
#

i made sure not spamming chat/ i did try one and someone just talked to me like "u know u can get reported for doing that"

twilit arch
#

or disable it in the emote list menu

sage sapphire
#

i was trying a new emote i got

manic flare
#

you can't get reported for using in game default emotes

You will not get banned for using emotes, you might get banned for obnoxious behaviour.

the painting one

what was the context of you using it?

trying it 🙂

manic flare
#

if you were just trying it out i dont see why that's reportable

and i was way too far from that person

even if you got reported doesnt necessarily mean you'll have action taken against you

just pop lucid when you drop under 8k mana, really

twilit arch
#

make use of lucid dreaming, assize and thin air. should really have mp issues unless you're doing something super mana intensive

leaden ginkgo

is there a skill

Make sure you’re not overhealing too

Samurai Rotation Guide
jolly sorrel
#

Not sure about a guide, but use Lucid Dreaming pretty much on cooldown, Thin Air whenever you're casting aoe cures or cure 2, Assize on cooldown, and use your plenty plenty instant cures before you start hardcasting stuff.

then just have to use lucid dreaming earlier rather than later

Mp at that level can be rough because you have no mp tools outside of lucid

ah alright. i remember almost never using lucid in 4.0 unless the DPS or Tank were particularly squishy

round crag
#

Use regen on tank and hope that’s enough to keep him up while using holy to stun the mobs and do damage

trail prairie
#

i'll have to commit to memory to always be pressin' lucid

jolly sorrel
#

Many jobs have a skill or two you always want to use on cooldown, its a useful thing to get down

faint flare
#

Lucid is the only (except assize) way to get mana back now

#

So

#

And overall mana changes

round crag
#

Thin air helps too tho

trail prairie

thanks for the advice \o/

round crag

And healing with afflatus skills when you get them

Ok welp ima go back to being a good lil tanky lol

so for the new leveling r oulette changes in 5.5, if you happen to get partied with everyone above a certain level, you won't get a dungeon below that level correct?

faint flare
#

If you're in a full group you wont get put into dungeons lower than 7 levels of the lowest party member

#

So queing with a full party of friends isn't complete ass

twilit arch

also only if you have that option enabled

i meant totorak

faint flare

Especially when you're levelling the new jobs and wanna try out their stuff in higher level stuff

And not get satasha for a full week

i dont mind sastasha really. i love tanking the dungeon and wow'ing sprouts

faint flare
#

Yeah...queing with friends now is like "welp who wanna que for Satasha roulette"

manic flare
#

now watch me get sastasha today

faint flare
#

Its just the meme/theme cause roulettes love putting into low level stuff...especially when new people come into with expansiond

#

Its always satasha, copperbell or Toto rak

What order can I tackle extreme and savage content? Do we have a easy to hard list or something

wintry chasm
#

Generally order of when they came out would be easier to harder

#

because of gear progression

little swift
#

Savage doesn't have its lockout removed yet

So you would have to start at e9s and work your way up

You don't have to do ex before savage

you don't technically need to do things in order
