frozen wind
#

by this i mean the shadowbringers role quest

vernal urchin
#

Yes

versed jetty
#

Does the Wondrous Tails 1st line reward of 50 tomestone of revelation count toward the 450 maximum ?

faint flare
#

Doing all the roles gets you an additional lore quest chain

versed jetty
#

(Please tell me it doesn't)

versed jetty
#

I wanna end myself then

faint flare
#

There's no reason it wouldnt

vernal urchin
#

Were you capped? Lol

versed jetty
#

Nah but i was about to try and reroll the lines into getting it

little swift
#

2nd chance points grow on trees

#

You'll be ok

wind dragon
#

So my game all of a sudden started crashing due to direct X 11. I didn't change any settings and it was working fine since I first started playing over a month ago... does anyone know what this is? I see a lot of posts about it on forums and reddit, but no on eseems to know anything.

faint flare
#

You'll be capped again by Tuesday

versed jetty
#

I no longer have crashes and crash-to-desktop since one or two weeks

wind dragon
#

oh really? which file? the shortcut to the launcher?

versed jetty
#

The whole folder

wind dragon
#

I seem to be having some success by switching the settings from fullscreen to windowed fullscreen and capping hte FPS at 60. Honestly though, I keep so many different solutions on the forums/reddit. Seems like everyone is shooting in the dark, haha.

#

It is pretty odd though for the gam eto be completely fine for over a month and then all of a sudden have issues for no apparent reason.. sigh

tribal apex
#

guessing a lot of the new side quests im getting is for trials (primal ones) and harder version of dungeons

remote lintel
#

basically

#

some also unlock the 24 man raids which are mandatory to progress msq

tribal apex
#

guess its time to binge some blue quests

remote lintel
#

and the 8 man raids which you should only do if you have a lvl 80 to carry you and you want the lore

tribal apex
#

im on the trial

remote lintel
#

still possible to get carried on trial

leaden ginkgo
#

If you level skip to 70 do you also get your level 70 job quest completed?

obsidian patio
#

Yes the job skip does all job quests for you

teal zealot
#

do all mounts move the same speed or are there faster ones

obsidian patio
#

Same speed

#

The only kinda-exception is the SDS Fenrir bike from the mogstation, which has the same speed as if you already have 1-star mount speed for that zone

#

Which makes it faster than other mounts when progressing through the story before you have flight in that zone

teal zealot
#

okay awesome thank you!

sullen lark
#

I heard that we might get to buy Mog Station goods with gil in the future, is that teased by the devs or just wishful thinking?

faint flare
#

They didn't say anything like that

leaden ginkgo
#

Sounds like wishful thinking

faint flare
#

They said the queen of the Mogstation has given One item up to be buyable in game, which some are presuming to be the Rainmaker hair

#

Since thats typically a event only thing

jade quartz
#

It’s confirmed to be rainmaker

#

It was planned to go in the mogstation, but they’re putting it in the gold saucer instead.

#

That’s all.

burnt crown
#

What if I level up my first class to Lv70, and then change to Lv1-50 classes? Will beginner exp buff from server still applies on those second classes?

honest anvil
#

ye

faint flare
#

Yes

leaden ginkgo
#

It carries over yes

burnt crown
#

ouh, noice. TYTYs

faint flare
#

The buff just hides when you're 70+

burnt crown
#

ahh ic there

rose oak
#

is there a better/easy way for need/greed/pass?

weak stirrup
#

is bad enough the entire group is running to the next fight while I'm staring at the loot chest, if I could need/greed faster, that would help 🙂

leaden ginkgo
#

so when collecting memories, i have to be that class during the fate ?

faint flare
#

No

leaden ginkgo
#

good bc fates take so long as a tank

faint flare
#

None of the Shadowbringers relic stuff needs you to be on the job to collect the items

leaden ginkgo
#

do you have something that shows where each memory is ?

#

like the areas

Also just check your journal

Its in there

thin island
#

would people still buy exarchic pentamelds next week?

#

have some stock left, should sell them off nw eh

honest anvil
#

buy exarchic - yes

#

Buy pentaexarchic - did they, ever?

earnest wraith
#

Only rings I think

honest anvil
#

augmented exarchic will come next week so some might be inclined to buy vanilla pieces to trade ¯_(ツ)_/¯

open ember
#

I would say no to people buying Exarchic gear with melds yet again they can just buy it, extract the materia and then trade it for augmentation

#

It'd still work

#

Though you might lose melds

raven sage
#

You lose them like when you augment any other piece of gear

#

Since it's a new item you'd have to take them out first and it's hardly worth the rng

#

or effort

#

Basically you can still sell them but don't expect people to buy them because they're melded

ionic hazel
#

Where do you see in FFlogs where the orange rank starts or ends

#

in terms of dps for a specific job

teal zealot
#

Does anyone know where I can find the level 40 Monk Job quest?

click on it on the top left and it should show you

fading helm
#

when is the make it rain campaign?

scarlet shoal
#

help, i bought full laws order set for my Dark Knight but none of the builds have any links with laws order gear, every build is using exarchic set, my question is what should i put in all the materia slots

honest anvil
#

just follow meld priority

leaden ginkgo
#

aaaaa I was putting something for sale on the market and I hit the wrong button

#

now the item was sold to the game for 217 gil

#

instead of 90k market price

#

can I buyback the item?

open ember
#

If it was sold to another player then no

fading helm
#

the music in amh araeng is soo good

leaden ginkgo
fading helm
#

i wonder how long its going to take to get there lol

leaden ginkgo
#

"Have retainer sell items" option

honest anvil
#

You can adjust price

leaden ginkgo
#

again, it was not put on the market, but sold in the same way you would to an npc

#

but my by retainer, so theres no buyback window

versed jetty
#

Do you have to complete first the Cinder Drift (Extreme) in order to unlock the Castrum Marinum (Extreme) ? I can't unlock it despite having done everything i can find online

remote lintel
#

no

#

did you complete castrum marinum

honest anvil
#

I didnt do ruby but got in em just fine

remote lintel
#

and the whole quest line

burnt crown
#

one quick question for dungeons, if i'm a low-level healer, what to do when some long-ranged mobs keep targeting me while tank needs continuously hard healing too? I did cast presence of mind and swift but I couldn't keep up the pace to cast cure II back and forth on me and tank, and party heal seems not that efficient to cover tank's hp.

versed jetty
#

That i did

#

I cannot accept any other quest from said questline, as there's no more available

honest anvil
#

tell the tank to pull that mob too

remote lintel
#

did you complete "in memory"

stray karma
#

is there any reason why me and my friend only lag in e12s? we see ppl teleporting around and freezing

honest anvil
#

it’s his job to make all mobs target him

versed jetty
#

Yup

remote lintel
#

and the warmachina fanatic didnt give you the ex?

versed jetty
#

Nope, i'm right in front of him and he got nothing to give

remote lintel
#

open your completed quests and check the sorrrow of werlyt quest line

honest anvil
#

perhaps you already have it?

versed jetty
#

I don't, which is why i'm asking xD

#

The Sorrow of Werlyt V

remote lintel
#

screenshot what the warmachina fanatic dialogue is

honest anvil
#

Em ex is in the high-end duty tab iirc

remote lintel
#

that too

honest anvil
#

not in the reg tab like ruby

versed jetty
remote lintel
#

click the high end duty

heavy wadi
#

high end duties

versed jetty
#

I'm sorry i don't get what this is

heavy wadi
versed jetty
#

Okay it's there

merry quiver
#

are there any low-level weapons that are dyeable? im level 30

versed jetty
#

Sorry i didn't knew it was a thing

heavy wadi
#

dw

#

that's where "current" hard content goes

versed jetty
#

Well then yeah, it's there and i already got it

#

Sorry for the time wasted, and thanks for letting me know about that tab o/

shadow oyster
#

I'm trying to do the 68 fsh quest, why doesn't veteran trade work?

cursive abyss
#

What are the other 2 city states good for? It seems to me like Ul'Dah is always the best choice since Ul'Dah is the one with the most story focus

earnest wraith
#

Limsa for rp ... I mean for market board

versed jetty
#

It all depends on what class you get first iirc, i had a lot of story things in Gridania

shadow oyster
#

yeah actually limsa is very popular

open coral
shadow oyster
#

first of all it's the closet to the waking sands

#

it's GC is red

open coral
#

After that you'll be going around to all of the different cities at various points.

shadow oyster
#

which is a cool color

#

and also the aetheryte is is the most convenient place out of the three cities

cursive abyss
#

What does Gridania have?

remote lintel
#

like lore wise or what

shadow oyster
#

not really any benefits gameplay wise, other then unique crafters and stuff

open coral
#

Lancers, Archers, and Conjurers guilds. Leatherworker, Carpenters, and Herbalists guilds.

cursive abyss
shadow oyster
#

well no

#

access to the WHM class

open coral
#

Yes, technically.

shadow oyster
#

you have to go there at some point to unlock whm

remote lintel
#

gridania is just in a prettier location than the other 2

cursive abyss
#

I wanna say WHM is the easiest healer job to learn?

remote lintel
#

yes

shadow oyster
#

dnc tbh

#

whm is the easiest healer though

open coral
#

Yes, WHM is considered the easiest healer.

shadow oyster
#

but like

#

you can be a crappy healer as any of the healers

#

the skill cap for being a good healer is higher then most dps

thin tide
#

is there some kind of a giant lag wave

open coral
#

Good and easy are two different things entirely.

thin tide
#

lots of people are having trouble

cursive abyss
#

What does the "Hardest Job Class To Play" award go to?

shadow oyster
#

what I'm saying is please don't pick it up if you're just going to never try to learn to play it well

remote lintel
#

its subjective

shadow oyster
#

cause a lazy healer is annoying

remote lintel
#

hardest class to play optimally is prob blm

#

imo

open coral
#

I find BRD to be more difficult than BLM

cursive abyss
slender pebble
#

hey, I was directed here from #general-discussion . Anyone know what to do about the comcast latency issue? all my friends with comcast over the last 3 days have had atrocious lag. Anyone fixed/ know anything? ping me if you can.

remote lintel
#

we cant do anything if its an isp issue

earnest wraith
#

BRD is more luck base than skill base imo...

remote lintel
#

wait for them to fix it

open coral
#

@slender pebble That sounds like an isp issue, not something that we (players) can actively do anything about.

slender pebble
#

I wasnt asking for help per say but information if you had it...

shadow oyster
#

the highest buttons per minute job is ninja, the job that suffers the most from messing up is summoner, and the job that is hardest to optimize mechanics for is black mage

#

so those could all be the hardest

remote lintel
#

i feel like brd has higher apm than nin

shadow oyster
#

it's also hard to optimize damage vs heals in endgame on a healer

open coral
#

If everyone with Comcast is having the same problem, that means it's probably an issue with one of the nodes. You'd be more likely to get good information from Comcast or a network traffic tracking site.

shadow oyster
#

but that's like real optimization

cursive abyss
#

I've heard that WHM is really boring early levels, is that true?

open coral
#

But again, it's not something that there would be a workaround for.

remote lintel
#

damage is extremely predictable

versed jetty
open coral
remote lintel
#

you learn when to use a specific heal at which point in the fight

versed jetty
#

You don't have much tools to play piano with

shadow oyster
#

your teammates aren't always predictable though...

cursive abyss
remote lintel
#

i mean as long as they arent eating shit that doesnt really make it harder

#

its all scripted

open coral
#

That doesn't matter. A halfway decent healer can always optimize dps vs healing.

shadow oyster
#

alright I started as whm cause I liked medic

open coral
#

Because yeah, scripted damage.

shadow oyster
#

you are not going to get the same fantasy from it unfortunately

open coral
#

And honestly even if your whole team is eating shit, there are still ways to work around that if you're appropriately geared for the content.

shadow oyster
#

because I strated as a medic in tf2 it took me a real long time to adjust to my teammates not being disposable

cursive abyss
shadow oyster
#

might be unique to me but just so you know

open coral
remote lintel
#

the animation is satisfying but if your team already sucks then you might just wipe anyway

cursive abyss
#

Do peleton and sprint stack, btw>

remote lintel
#

no

open coral
#

I've saved runs with healer LB3

remote lintel
#

movement skills take whichever one is higher

versed jetty
open coral
#

Ehh, tank and healer LBs are super situational.

#

Mostly it will be dps using them.

cursive abyss
#

You can control how much of the LB bar you use, right?

open coral
#

No

remote lintel
#

no

open coral
#

You use however much there is.

versed jetty
#

It's always all the bars

open coral
#

So if there's three bars, you use three bars.

cursive abyss
#

Why do I hear 2 LBs going off sometimes>

versed jetty
#

No matter how filled they are

shadow oyster
#

The thing about healer lb3 is that there is rarely a trial that is hard enough for you to use it, most of the time you're going to be using it when the dps are dumb

open coral
#

Because they can cancel cast

versed jetty
#

If there's 2 and 3/4, you'll use it all

remote lintel
#

because either there are multiple parties, or someone LBed then canceled then LBed again

open coral
#

The sound effect goes off before the actual LB does

cursive abyss
#

Why would you want to LB Cancel?

versed jetty
#

Dodge an AoE

remote lintel
#

if youre not in a good position

open coral
#

If you misclicked, or if you need to dodge

remote lintel
#

or if youre doing the 5.3 trial

#

and you fucked up

#

and you need to cancel

open coral
#

All kinds of reasons

shadow oyster
#

or or

cursive abyss
#

Outside of Alexander and SoS where its absolutely required, what situations should you use Tank LB in?

remote lintel
#

like none

open coral
#

Doesn't E8S have a tank lb mechanic too?

shadow oyster
#

you should cancel lb to repeatedly spam the sound and get kicked from prae

remote lintel
#

no idea

cursive abyss
remote lintel
#

some people do because they think theyll get a free ride

#

then do the surprised pikachu face when they get kicked

versed jetty
#

There's no realy other content where a mass damage reduction would be required, either the healer LB3 would have more usefulness in the same scenario, or you'll heavily lose on burst damage

shadow oyster
#

so does anyone have any spearfishing tips?

cursive abyss
#

Should Tank LB be reworked to be more useful, do you think?

shadow oyster
#

naw

remote lintel
#

dps > damage reduction

twilit arch
#

not really a question for qnh tbh

#

spearfishing is pretty self explanatory. use the right gighead, pray rng favours you

shadow oyster
#

but like

#

how do I know how many ichiasors I have to catch

cursive abyss
#

I wonder if I should try my hand at getting the PvP mounts or wait for the new PVP Mode in EW?

versed jetty
#

You take a look at your objective and you do the maths

twilit arch
#

iirc for the swimming shadows node its around 10

shadow oyster
#

try it now

#

some pvp modes and maps have exclusive mounts

#

so waiting won't help

#

and rival wings queues will die after 5.5

#

rival wings has a mount for 100 games and 100 wins

#

also

#

the daily challenge for pvp gives great exp

cursive abyss
twilit arch
#

no

shadow oyster
#

like better then leveling roulette I think

#

it's a metal monke

cursive abyss
#

When is the Fanfest?

twilit arch
#

may 14/15

cursive abyss
# twilit arch may 14/15

Oh ok, thank you, I still have no idea whether or not the Lunar Whale is locked behind a special ticket you buy at the fan fest, or something else...

twilit arch
#

no

remote lintel
#

attending the fanfest is free

twilit arch
#

its going to be straight to mogstation

cursive abyss
#

Oh ok that makes it simple

#

price is still TBD?

twilit arch
#

yes

cursive abyss
#

What sorts of people would get the most use out of the Lunar Whale?

remote lintel
#

people who like big mount

obsidian patio
#

People doing maps

remote lintel
#

that too

cursive abyss
# obsidian patio People doing maps

Would it also be useful for future pieces of instanced content in the style of Bozja and Eureka? Cause I highly doubt that Bozja is the last piece of Instanced content we'll get.

remote lintel
#

it could be useful for the next zones of bozja

obsidian patio
#

Yeah that too

remote lintel
#

when they increase the mount speed or whatever

cursive abyss
#

Is there a reason why they dont want you flying in Bozja?

remote lintel
#

people might be able to just fly to areas theyre not supposed to be in i guess

obsidian patio
#

Want it to have a sense of danger?

twilit arch
#

too small to really warrant flying tbh

shadow oyster
#

alright I got the special node to appear from spearfishing, is there anything I can do to increase my chance of getting a HQ catch?

cursive abyss
twilit arch
#

basically use nature's bounty

#

and pray to rng

shadow oyster
#

lol don't have it

twilit arch
#

then pray to rng

#

can also use perception food to help boost it

#

but ultimately its down to rng

cursive abyss
#

What is a "Barrier Healer"? A healer focused on buffs and reducing damage?

shadow oyster
#

damn!

#

got the last hq I needed on the last gathering attempt

#

a barrier healer uses shields

#

sch does have ones ablity that mitigates

#

but really it's mostly shields

open coral
slate arrow
open coral
#

SCH and the new Sage healer are both barrier healers.

slate arrow
#

Like Scholar and using Aethflow

shadow oyster
#

I'm pretty sure that's just sch jank

#

I don't think that's what makes it a barrier healer

remote lintel
#

no theyre classifying it as a barrier healer in 6.0

cursive abyss
#

Were some people complaining that the difference between Barrier and regular healers wasnt clear enough, based on the END presentation?

shadow oyster
#

remember, Yoshi-P said that noctural sect was a barrier healer

#

and noct ast doesn't have anything like aetherflow

#

just shields

remote lintel
#

theyre getting rid of noct ast iirc

slate arrow
#

!action Essential Dignity

zinc orbitBOT

**Essential Dignity** : lvl 15 AST (40.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Maximum Charges: 2

shadow oyster
#

they are

remote lintel
#

ast will be a regen healer

#

or whatever theyre calling it

shadow oyster
#

my point is that barrier healer is not as complicated as "A healer focused on buffs and reducing damage"

#

it just means shields

#

noct ast has no mitigation iirc

twilit arch
remote lintel
#

wym

slate arrow
#

!action Aspected Benefic

twilit arch
#

shields are mitagation

remote lintel
#

it has shields

slate arrow
#

"magicked barrier"

shadow oyster
#

mitigation is scholar's sacred soil

#

or the tank mitigation ablities

twilit arch
#

shields are mitagation

shadow oyster
#

unless you have another term for those?

remote lintel
#

tank mitigation abilities include shields

twilit arch
#

tank abilities are mitigation

#

sacred soil is mitagation

shadow oyster
#

fflogs classifies shields as healing if they're broke

twilit arch
#

They're all mitagation

shadow oyster
#

I get that you can call it healing

#

I mean mitigation

raven sage
#

Shields are both technically

#

Tanks have their own shields as well so

#

That's still mitigation

shadow oyster
#

but my point is that the yellow stuff that sch and noct ast use is what a barrier healer is

#

personally I see TBN just as much as a heal as thrill of battle, but that's not my point

#

my point is the only unique thing about noct as is it's yellow shields

#

so that must be what a barrier healer is

cursive abyss
#

Do you have to have godlike reflexes for healer or just pay good attention. I suppose healing in dungeons is easier because you have AOE heals

winged fossil

twilit arch
#

just pay attention

boreal storm
#

If they’re dieing, stop it

remote lintel
#

damage is predictable

raven sage
#

The only time you really need reflexes is if someone takes damage they weren't supposed to and even that's just based on the situation

cursive abyss
remote lintel
#

no it isnt

#

just target them and click

cursive abyss
#

oh ok

twilit arch
#

its just a matter of getting comfortable with it

winged fossil
#

Collective unconscious (I won’t spam) is fully mitigation type as well as barrier.

shrewd owl
#

You can use the function keys like F1 to help out too

cursive abyss
#

What does F1 do?

shrewd owl
#

That's how I select tanks to heal

shadow oyster
#

personally I move my party list closer to the middle of the screen as healer for clicking

remote lintel
#

F1-8 targets party members 1-8

cursive abyss
#

Thats nice

shadow oyster
#

Instar, it's what I was calling a shield

boreal storm
#

Number lock + 0 is also a thing

shadow oyster
#

there is no stat like sacred soil that says "party member will take 10% less damage"

winged fossil
#

Well I think then it’s down to an issue of how we each define mitigation so....

twilit arch
#

that's mitigation

boreal storm
#

But pretty much only if they’re the closest person to you

shadow oyster
#

you're missing my point

winged fossil
#

No, I’m not. I just don’t agree.

shadow oyster
#

the damage reduction is not a feature of all our current barrier healers

twilit arch
#

yes it is

shadow oyster
#

ast does not have a 10% less ablity

twilit arch
#

both scholar and ast do have reduction abilities

shadow oyster
#

it only has the yellow shields

winged fossil
#

Yeah peace out and goodwill

twilit arch
#

Collective Unconcious

cursive abyss
#

Does Living Shadow have reduced CD sometimes? Sometimes I look away for one moment, and all the sudden, the CD for LS goes to something like 26 seconds

shadow oyster
#

okay yeah that's true Kael

twilit arch
#

CU has both a regen and dmg reduction on it, which one lingers after you stop CU depends on whether you're in nocturnal or diurnal sect

remote lintel
#

it takes like 4 seconds to summon the thing iirc

shadow oyster
#

forgot about that one

#

I don't know AST well enough to be sure but

#

people were just using vocab differently

#

so I had to be firm to get my point across

twilit arch
#

Mitigation is literally any thing that is going to reduce/stop dmg being taken, literally every tank and healer has some form of it.

cursive abyss
#

Why did they get rid of DRK's more intense aura that they had at one point? Too distracting?

winged fossil
#

I did mention CU. Which you didn’t see perhaps. And if you’re nit familiar with the role... I guess don’t tell people they’re missing the point.

twilit arch
#

With barrier healers, the key point to a lot of their "gimmick" is having shields

shadow oyster
#

I'm familar with sch and whm

twilit arch
#

pure healers (which iirc is the name they dubbed the other healer) don't really have shields, nor a whole lot of mitigation. They lean much more heavily on raw healing

cursive abyss
#

Barrier Healer Buffs stack with Tank Mitigation, don't they?

shadow oyster
#

anyway, yeah it's fine to call shields mitigation

shadow oyster
#

but my problem is, what unique term do you want to use for the 10% less damage taken

oak radish
#

is the allegory tomestone gear going to change in 5.5?

twilit arch
#

its mitigation

remote lintel
#

damage reduction

winged fossil
#

Hahahaha

twilit arch
#

that's all it is

shadow oyster
#

that's a blanket term though

remote lintel
#

@oak radish no

oak radish
#

thank youu

cursive abyss
shadow oyster
#

since it seems popular to call the yellow shields mitigation

twilit arch
#

Things that reduce how much dmg you take is mitigation

shadow oyster
#

yes I know that

#

I'm saying I need a new term to call the 10% things to reduce confusion in the future

boreal storm
#

Shields block damage, mitigation deletes a percent of it

remote lintel
#

damage reduction

shadow oyster
#

Fuilteach, that's what I used to think, but a lot of people hear use mitigation as a blanket term

cursive abyss
#

Are there exceptions where Arm's Length WILL NOT work, just like some things pierce invuln?

shadow oyster
#

yeah that damage reduction term will work though

twilit arch
#

yes, certain knockbacks can't be arm's length/surecast

shadow oyster
#

more like unsurecast tbh

remote lintel
#

if the knockback is a core part of the mechanic then you usually cant use arms length on it

polar hound
#

even if you can, sometimes more favorable not to

cursive abyss
remote lintel
#

pretty sure levi can be kb resisted?

#

but for mechanics like "all players WILL move to this spot" then you usually cant

cursive abyss
#

Does Dark Missionary work on Stack mechanics that do magic damage?

twilit arch
#

yes

cursive abyss
#

Is there any easy way you can tell that an atttack will do physical or magical damage?

remote lintel
#

does it look like youre getting hit with an object

#

then its probably physical

shadow oyster
#

sometimes it can be kinda weird thoguh

#

like shadow's edge

twilit arch
#

there's no sure fire way outside of ACT

#

without act its a bit of trial and error

shadow oyster
#

or like

#

looking it up

cursive abyss
#

Tis a shame that DRK only has an AOE mitigation for magical damage and not also physical damage.

obsidian patio
#

General rule of thumb is unless it looks like an actual not-magic object is hitting you then it’s magic like 90% of the time

shadow oyster
#

aye knightshade

#

at least we don't have to deal with veil

#

it's like the uh

remote lintel
#

there arent a lot of physical aoes iirc

#

so theres not much point

shadow oyster
#

delirium for pld

polar hound
#

PLD dont deal with veil either aside from pressing it lol

shadow oyster
#

well the thing is

polar hound
#

generally pressed when aoe heals/shields are going out regardless

shadow oyster
#

it's sad shake it off

cursive abyss
shadow oyster
#

like how delirium is sad inner release

#

knightshade cerberus is saying there wouldn't be much point

#

cause there aren't a lot of physical aoes

#

(that are dangerous at least)

remote lintel
#

its mostly magic aoes

shadow oyster
#

I mean

#

like titan's stomp is physical I think

#

but for savage

#

barely any physical aoes

polar hound
#

physical attacks in general are pretty scarce outside of autos, you can search on fflogs and if the attack appears in Yellow, it's physical. Blue would be magical.

shadow oyster
#

yeah feint is pretty much useless outside of autos and shadow's edge this tier iirc lol

#

formless judgement might be physical?

little swift
#

elemental break is physical

#

formless is physical

shadow oyster
#

lol really? elemental break?

little swift
#

yes the proteans are physical

shadow oyster
#

oh

shadow oyster
#

I might've know that faintly

#

it sounds kinda familar

#

intresting though

modest igloo
#

anyone else having lag on Brynhildr/Crystal?

remote lintel
#

comcast is shitting itself so if you have comcast thats why

honest anvil
#

what’s the origins of “protean” = clock spread?

modest igloo
#

i checked that, its definitely the game doing it, everything else is fine

#

might just be the latest in overflow issues

twilit arch
#

protean wave from alexander - arm of the father (living liquid aka Pepsiman)

wild coyote
#

how long do I need to wait now 🥺

rigid narwhal
#

several minutes

wild coyote
twilit arch
#

basically give it like 30minutes

shadow oyster
#

@honest anvil it doesn't always mean clock spread, it can mean any conal aoe really, like in a3n or blue mage carnival

little swift
#

thats what its specifically as a reference to

#

earthshaker also refers to conal waves coming from the boss

#

but moreso for the ones with a marker on the targets heads

shadow oyster
#

yeah but people call most new conal mechanics proteans I'm pretty sure

#

not sure clocks like e11s and MMex

polar hound
#

if there's no clock spot we just call them conals tbh

shadow oyster
#

I guess there just isn't enough conal mechs that aren't clocks for me to realize that

#

wait a minute

#

nvm

#

wait

#

don't a lot of people call bound of faith lightning proteans though?

honest anvil
#

prelim patch note says that treasure maps will get updated. As in, adjusted loot rates or new loots will get added?

shadow oyster
#

maybe the term refers to conals that lock on to players

cursive abyss
#

This is a stupid question, but do they playtest savage content before releasing it? I know that Savage content is supposed to be brutal, but perhaps Light Rampant was a bit much.

shadow oyster
#

they do

twilit arch
#

its playtested in house, yes

leaden ginkgo
#

I'd imagine everything is play tested thoroughly

shadow oyster
#

mechanics like that are easier in statics though

#

and I'm guessing the in house testers operate like a static

polar hound
#

^ light rampant wasnt hard, just needed people to well..do it with some coordination

honest anvil
#

light rampant is only that bad with the ilya strat as i've been told

twilit arch
#

usually new loot @honest anvil

shadow oyster
#

also coming up with your strats together makes them easier to execute (I'm guessing)

little swift
#

ilya strat wasn't even a bad strat

cursive abyss
#

What is the Unreal tier, btw?

little swift
#

it was a week 1 strat and thats it

twilit arch
#

ARR trials upped to lvl 80

cursive abyss
#

Do you get anything for beating them other than bragging rights?

shadow oyster
#

titan is harder to PF then savage

#

you get cosmetics Knight

twilit arch
#

not even really bragging rights, but there's some loot from faux hollows

shadow oyster
#

2 mounts and a necklace

thorn helm
#

If you get 60 on any job in the free trial, can you keep playing and level up another class without having to subscribe?

twilit arch
#

yes

#

can pretty much level all jobs available to you on free trial to 60 if you want

#

just wont earn any exp after 60

honest anvil
#

are faux hollows' loot exclusive?

twilit arch
#

some of it is in khloe silver/gold certs

shadow oyster
#

y'know the real reason they didn't make the free trial isn't cause they thought that the MSQ wasn't as good, or they wan't a lot of content for people to look forward too, the real reason is so no one can get the satisfaction of getting all jobs to level 69

cursive abyss
twilit arch
#

only loot that is exclusive to it right now are the sand fox and construct iv-s core

shadow oyster
#

what about the horse?

cursive abyss
#

I think you only have to level DoW jobs to get access to the Void Quests, IIRC

twilit arch
#

on gold certs

little swift
#

can be gotten from 3 lines

shadow oyster
#

you need DoM jobs too

cursive abyss
#

Is it a good idea to stockpile achievement certifications in case they ever add new mounts to the list, or something like that?

twilit arch
#

there's no reason to stockpile those

#

you get them so easily

shadow oyster
#

when was the last time they updated that anyway?

twilit arch
#

5.0

shadow oyster
#

really?

twilit arch
#

the ribbon was added to achievement certs in 5.0 yes

shadow oyster
#

I'm a stormblood player and I don't remember that hm

cursive abyss
shadow oyster
#

oh

#

that explains why I didn't notice

twilit arch
#

you get way more achievement points/certs

#

than needed to buy out the whole shop

shadow oyster
#

unless you want a 1000 pairs of the bikinis

#

or the other glamours stuff

cursive abyss
#

This game doesnt have an in-game bestiary like FF15 does yet, does it?

twilit arch
#

no

shadow oyster
#

idk man

#

I'm pretty sure that the atma to animus upgrade had a bestiary

#

judging by how many days it took me to kill all of those mobs

twilit arch
#

wouldn't really call the books a bestiary

shadow oyster
#

that was sarcasm PepeCatCry

twilit arch
#

hitlists aren't exactly the same thing ya know

shadow oyster
#

yeah I suppose a list of names isn't the same as a biography

cursive abyss
#

I feel like this game is the one where usable items are the most useless

#

you never see anyone pop potions or use ethers, do you?

twilit arch
#

stat potions are used in savage/ultimate

shadow oyster
#

actually pots are ubiquitous in savage

twilit arch
#

ethers can have some use

shadow oyster
#

I also like HP pots for leveling

#

never used an ether though

leaden ginkgo
#

Ethers are good during mana drought situations. Like when I have to res a bunch of people on RDM

shadow oyster
#

I'm sure they have their uses

cursive abyss
#

What is the point of raise macros? The person who you res will know immediately due to the text box. Is it more for teamwide communication?

twilit arch
#

some people use it for communication, yeah

leaden ginkgo
#

It's supposed to tell other ressers, so they don't waste their time. It doesn't feel like it's used for that exact purpose anymore

shadow oyster
#

they're usually for personalization, however, it can help alert your co-healer not to waste swift on that guy

twilit arch
#

some people do it because they're being funny

#

but in my personal opinion, outside of harder content

#

people arent going to pay attention to those macros

#

and in savage, usually people are paying enough attention that they aren't really necessary

cursive abyss
#

Healers DO pay attention to Living Dead macros, however

shadow oyster
#

I use them for personalization, like my RDM says "Get up <t>! You're not as dead as TF2!"

twilit arch
#

generally though, not recommended to macro gcds

cursive abyss
#

I suppose macros are useful for things like LD and Superbolide because of how gimmicky they are for invulns

shadow oyster
#

as long as it's a repeating command it usually doesn't matter

#

knightshade you should get a salted earth macro if you don't have one

#

so good

twilit arch
#

!faq macrogcd

cursive abyss
#

What?

zinc orbitBOT
#
Why you shouldn't macro your GCDs

Macroing GCDs adds up to lost casts overtime, significantly harming your potential.

Check this video for a striking dummy comparison:
https://youtu.be/VgpUCgExvbA

twilit arch
#

its not necessarily about the cast going off, but rather that you're going to end up delaying your gcd

shadow oyster
#

but that's for combos

cursive abyss
#

Why would I ever need a macro for Salted Earth?

shadow oyster
#

like if you macro multiple GCDs

twilit arch
#

it applies to gcd in general

shadow oyster
#

to place it knight

tepid jackal
#

How do I make a macro for Salted Earth? I want it to just cast at my feet so I don't have to click on it but I have no experience making macros lol

twilit arch

/ac "Salted Earth" <me>
/ac "Salted Earth" <me>

tepid jackal
#

ty

shadow oyster
#

I recommend also having one for /ac "Salted Earth" <t> but <me> works in most situations

leaden ginkgo
#

Macros can range from amusing, to eye-rolling. It's probably better to not put any unnecessary text there. I've seen people get into fights on more than one occasion over them

twilit arch
shadow oyster
#

I saw that video about macroing gcds, good to know Kael

#

yeah double weaving salted earth without a macro is hard imo

leaden ginkgo
#

I'll have to try that salted earth one out myself. So thank you ^^

shadow oyster
#

yeah but balance recommends <t> for most situations but <me> is good for prepositioning and wall bosses, if you just want one button though, <me> is more versatile

warped nest
#

You can have two of them in the same macro

shadow oyster
#

yeah I suppose

warped nest
#
/ac Salted Earth t
Repeat a few times
/ac Salted Earth me
Repeat a few times
/merror off
...
shadow oyster
#

still, you'd have to untarget the boss to preposition your salted

warped nest
#

Yeah

shadow oyster
#

it's definitely worth considering though

twilit arch
#

/merror off needs to be at the top

shadow oyster
#

and the micon needs to be at the bottom

little swift
#

you don't need to untarget to place a ground target

Is it still a good idea to macro Hallowed Ground since its not as gimmmicky as Living Dead or Superbolide?

twilit arch
#

no

fringe mantle
#

Hey!
I currently just got the game with a couple of friends started as conjurer and we said we are gonna play together (I am lvl 11)
I know at lvl 10 u can change jobs so by doing so do I get rid of my conjurer? Or can I get a new class that I can swap when I am playing alone and swap back to conjurer when playing with them?

twilit arch
#

none of the invuls really need a macro

shadow oyster
leaden ginkgo
twilit arch
#

also doesn't really help when the invuls have their own delays that make macroing them potentially unwieldy

shadow oyster
#

you don't really have to macro superbolide either

#

LD is super generous though so

little swift
#

it doesn't untarget

reef smelt
#

Hiya! New casual player here, I’m about to finish ARR, strongly considering getting the Red Mage job boost to avoid the grind and get the level 70 stuff because it looks incredible to me. Also considering Gunbreaker and Dancer as other classes to level up and play, but that doesn’t really pertain directly to the matter of the Red Mage boost per se I suppose. But yeah, just lookin to get some feedback. (Sorry for such a long message btw!! ^^")

cursive abyss
little swift
#

because after the macro goes off it returns to original target

#

because its soft targeting for the cast

little swift
shadow oyster
#

but if you already used salted on <t> then you can't place it on <me>

#

so you have to untarget the boss to use the macro for <me>

leaden ginkgo
twilit arch
#

tbh i wouldn't bother with a job boost for red mage. 20 levels for 25$ is imo a waste of money when you can pretty easily get there in-game just by doing potd or dungeons @reef smelt ]

little swift
#

you can put both on the macro and it'll be fine

#

it won't untarget

twilit arch
#

oh right holm's a bit different

little swift
#

its simply untrue that the macro will untarget

shadow oyster
#

not you don't get it

little swift
#

because it soft target casts

#

not hard target

shadow oyster
#

I understand how macros work

#

I know it doesn't change your target

#

I'm saying if you wanted to place salted earth on your character you'd have to click off the boss

twilit arch
#

you don't though

little swift
#

you don't

shadow oyster
#

because the priority for the macro is <t>

little swift
#

even if you manual place

#

you don't

twilit arch
#

oh i get what they are meaning

#

in that if you double up on the <t> and <me> in same macro

#

but thats why you would want to ideally have two macros for it

#

rather than one

tender robin
#

is the garo gear set not available anymore?

shadow oyster
#

yeah

twilit arch
#

correct

#

GARO has long since been gone

warped nest
#

Almost 1.5 yrs now

leaden ginkgo
#

Sometimes events get recycled, so there's a chance it could come back

warped nest
#

I think

twilit arch
#

very unlikely in GARO's tbh

reef smelt
# twilit arch tbh i wouldn't bother with a job boost for red mage. 20 levels for 25$ is imo a ...

Ah yeah, that makes sense. My main justification for it I’d say would be the armory bonus as well, maybe for Gunbreaker and Dancer so leveling them would be quicker too, just since even the little bit of PotD grinding I’ve done started to get a bit braindead/repetitive and I don’t want to end up resorting to that at least for a really extended period of time ^^" I don’t want to lose interest in the game but I also want to be able to level consistently and have good looking stuff xD Thanks so much for the input!! I didn’t think about it from the fact that it’s 20 levels, that does change things at least a bit I’d say :0

twilit arch
#

since afaik its not quite on the same page as Yokai where the CEO is friends with Yoshi-P

shadow oyster
#

@cursive abyss I've heard you should macro holmgang if you do dungeons as WAR, if the enemy you holmgang to dies you lose holmgang, so you want to have holmgang <me>

leaden ginkgo
#

Ah, yeah that would make a difference. Didn't know they were friends. Pretty neat tbh

twilit arch
#

yep, he's been on a few of the anniversary streams

shadow oyster
little swift
#

improves responsiveness for disengaging as well

reef smelt
twilit arch
#

if you're on a preferred server

cursive abyss
#

How do ventures work? I went through the whole entire MSQ without knowing what they are and what they do.

twilit arch
#

its pretty easy to level up like 2-3 jobs with msq, especially if you're doing daily roulettes

warped nest
#

You send your retainers out for expedition

#

And they bring back stuffs

shadow oyster
#

they give you crafter mats and minions knight

#

they can make a bit of cash if you level them up enough

leaden ginkgo
#

Ventures are basically little missions you send your retainers on. Depending on their job, they will gather different things.

cursive abyss
#

OH so its like the Palico expedition stuff in MH4U on the 3DS

shadow oyster
#

I'd recommend setting them to gathers

#

cause if you set them to DoW/M then you have to reset them to 1 once they get their job iirc

twilit arch
#

no

#

going from class to job doesn't reset their level

#

if you want to switch them from a class to another class or from a job to another job then yes, you'd have to reset

cursive abyss
#

Besides belts getting the boot, how else is inventory getting reworked?

obsidian patio
#

The armoury slots from belt are being moved to rings and weapons

twilit arch
#

but really not much reason to give them job unless you want to make them an expansion job/give them job gear/not going to play the ARR classes to max lvl

obsidian patio
#

15 to each making them 40 slots big

warped nest
#

5 reserved

cursive abyss
#

Would there be any point to just have a general item chest like Monster Hunter has or do retainers already serve that function well enough?

twilit arch
#

most people do just fine with 2 retainers

shadow oyster
#

yeah SE wants retainers to be your main storage

twilit arch
#

inventory issues start arising when you decide to be a hoarder

azure ivy
#

Can you get judged again to aim for 80 if you didn't hit it the first time for fashion report

twilit arch
#

yes

#

you have 4 attempts

shadow oyster
#

It's not even that the retainers aren't enough space

#

it's that it'd be nice if specific items had their own chocobo bag tbh

#

cause going to a main city sucks

#

and you gotta pay monthly to be a hoarder

#

and you still get crappy service

warped nest
#

Proper management of your inventory helps

#

Once you massively out level certain gathering nodes, I just don't see a need to horde those materials

shadow oyster
#

what I don't get is why they haven't either come up with a feature for inv management or sold us one

warped nest
#

I just go and grab them when I need a few

cursive abyss
#

Does rolling for every single piece of gear in a dungeon and then selling that gear if you get it make a difference in the long run?

shadow oyster
#

like there should be a system for storing glam chest items, and putting items of the same category in the same place

warped nest
#

For gils not really

#

For GC seal, it can be pretty good

shadow oyster
#

Knight you can also level desynth with dungeon gear

cursive abyss
# warped nest For gils not really

I suppose so, and you should have about 1.1-1.3 million Gil by the time you get to Eureka anyway, allowing you to do it fairly comfortably

twilit arch
#

you can make decent money with gear from dungeons by converting it into gc seals

shadow oyster
#

if you ever want to do relic weapons, you're gonna want some desynth

#

but yeah GC seals is what most people do

#

I highly recommend making it so that all new gear goes in your inv if you do either though

cursive abyss
#

When is the earliest point you can start doing extreme trials in ARR for mounts?

shadow oyster
#

probably 70

twilit arch
#

technically can start at 50

shadow oyster
#

yeah

twilit arch
#

plenty of people do them unsync for WT

shadow oyster
#

they usually solo it tbf

twilit arch
#

solo? some jobs can do it at 60, 70 would be more comfortable with 80 ofc being most comfortable

#

still see groups from time to time for ARR EXs

shadow oyster
#

yeah

#

but I'm pretty sure most people solo those

cursive abyss
shadow oyster
#

otherwise you'd see more PFs then you do

cursive abyss
#

I think

twilit arch
#

yeah

shadow oyster
#

thing is most people don't farm the ARR primals

#

like how they don't usually farm ravana

cursive abyss
shadow oyster
#

they're just really quick

#

I've never seen an Odin PF tbh

#

like it's not marketable so

#

you're probably soloing

cursive abyss
twilit arch
#

well odin's an extreme fight

#

so people aren't going to queue for that

cursive abyss
#

Weird how Odin is an extreme fight, yet the title card at the beginning does not say that

shadow oyster
#

didn't you say you finished the story Knight?

cursive abyss
twilit arch
#

yeah, he's not listed under the extremes

#

but he's 100% an ex fight, not in trial roulette

shadow oyster
#

just like how the average player considers bahamut raids savage

cursive abyss
twilit arch
#

mount was introduced first

#

trial was added later

shadow oyster
#

moggle mog doesn't have a mount

twilit arch
#

bahamut raids are effectively savage tho

shadow oyster
#

cape westwind doesn't have a mount

cursive abyss
#

ARR wasnt exactly consistant

shadow oyster
#

yeah

#

I'm saying that odin is one of those trials

twilit arch
#

Odin was not like the other EX trials

#

he was an event fight

#

that was added to the game later

#

the extreme fights that had mount released with those mounts

shadow oyster
#

Kaelwyrn I'm saying that bahamut was effectively savage in comparison to how you were saying odin was effectively ex

#

also

cursive abyss
# twilit arch he was an event fight

Was it part of that weird PSO2 Crossover that we never got the north american part of because Sega initially backed out of localizing PSO2 outside of japan?

shadow oyster
#

ShUt uP aNd giVe mE mY CaPe westwind mount

twilit arch
#

pso2 event happened after the event iirc

#

yeah trial was fanfest 2014, cross over was 2016

cursive abyss
twilit arch
#

nothing

#

because the japanese version of 14 isn't difference from the NA or EU version

cursive abyss
#

Even in JP? Ouch, what a stingy "crossover"

twilit arch
#

if JP was going to get anything, we as a whole would've gotten something

cursive abyss
#

Speaking of Crossovers, why are people weary of another crossover alliance raid? Was Nier just THAT badly presented?

obsidian patio
#

People probably want something more tied to the overall lore

shadow oyster
#

I think people just like mhach

obsidian patio
#

Like the puppets bunker is literally next doors to Komra if you fly up high enough

#

And somehow the robots haven’t been found until recently

shadow oyster
#

I feel like it'll make more sense when they finish but, still really weird

#

I thought ivaloce.was pretty cool though

cursive abyss
#

Like Eureka, is there a potion that increases your EXP gain for regular levels?

honest anvil
#

food?

#

company action “heat of battle”?

obsidian patio
#

Just food in terms of consumables for combat

cursive abyss
#

@honest anvil In this case, I'm talking about a potion that increases your EXP gain by 100%

obsidian patio
#

Crafters/gatherers get Manuals that act like rested experience for a set amount of experience

twilit arch
#

no potions

cursive abyss
#

Huh, I guess Eureka's special then

polar hound
#

yeah potions of harmony are exclusive to eureka, weird addition but not complaining

#

the exp gain is only 10% for those btw

#

Does syncing keep my gcd tier(?) the same as my 80’s?

polar hound
#

no

#

your skillspeed/spellspeed will also sync so..

#

can just call it gcd or sks/sps fwiw

honest anvil
#

i assume all ultimate bis sets in the balance takes this gcd change into account?

polar hound
#

that's why they're different sets kinda

rugged flicker
#

At level 50 Astrologian, what are those three slots for?

polar hound
#

that's your divination gauge

#

under actions & traits at the bottom click the job gauge thing

#

nvm you get divination at 50 i edited

robust crow
#

did i read the patch notes right

#

they're making the rare 2b minion 100% drop

#

?

rugged flicker
#

They do that with all raid minions eventually.

Would a duo core laptop with integrated intel 520 graphics be able to run FFXIV?

Oh ty

twilit patrol
#

hey guys, which level of potd better drop wise to sell on mb? 1-50 or 51-100?

manic flare
#

is there a way to get to gold saucer from kugane, directly

leaden ginkgo
#

No

halcyon radish
#

Which gatherer is the most profitable to level first?

#

i can never remember if people say miner or botanist but I never hear anyone say fisher

modest igloo
#

depends on the MB, but i find Miner gives more stuff for crafters if you wanna level for them

plain python
#

what is the way to get ilv520 gear outside of trading crafted items in 5.5?

modest igloo
#

tomestones of revelation

vernal urchin
#

or run the new nier raid

plain python
#

is nier raid any harder than the previous expansion's 24-man?

#

also, does it drop weapon?

modest igloo
#

relatively, yes, unless you did puppets bunker on content

#

no it does not, rev does

delicate field
#

puppets bunker was really hard on release?

modest igloo
#

all alliance raids are, but ShB have been really tough for new players yeah

#

expect to get your ass beat first time through

#

tough as in "you'll be on the ground and maybe wipe once" but thats about it

delicate field
#

sounds like fun. i'm at copied factory now but havent tried it yet

modest igloo
#

oh yeah, they are really fun. do the new raid asap for maximum chaos hahaha

plain python
#

what is a good way to spend revelation if you want to gear all classes?

modest igloo
#

spend it on your main classes first

#

510 crafted gear will be good enough until 6.0 for everything else

leaden ginkgo
#

Can you buy FC housing for ur FC with an alt that DOESN'T have the required GC rank to buy a personal house?

plain python
#

I want to save gold for housing so I won't touch crafted gear 😮

leaden ginkgo
#

Why get 510 crafted gear anyways, nothing worth crafting is gonna come out until 6.0

#

Maybe some glam items, thats it

modest igloo
#

if crafted gear is expensive a house is a bit of a stretch

cursive abyss
#

Is Salted Earth a DoT?

modest igloo
#

#

@plain python have you thought about getting an apartment instead?

cursive abyss
modest igloo
#

two dots that arent real dots lmao

cursive abyss
#

Why is it that a tiny little carbuncle or a living shadow clone can make the difference between winning and losing in savage/ultimate content?

winged fossil
#

How do you get the smart Hildibrand glam?

obsidian patio
#

There’s been enrage fails where it’s been down to auto attacks

cursive abyss
#

Wtf

obsidian patio
winged fossil
#

The non-tattered one

obsidian patio
#

Keep doing the quest line

delicate field
#

so you basically have to play perfectly 110% of the time to beat that content?

winged fossil
#

Oh cool ok

#

Thanks

obsidian patio
#

That’s only if you’re at the bare minimum item level needed

#

And a death or two can make it happen

modest igloo
#

the idea is that you do it right or not at all, and as you get better gear you can make more mistakes

cursive abyss
#

Why is it that you can have the Zantetsuken animation go off in Odin's fight, yet still win with like a fraction of a second left?

obsidian patio
#

There’s a delay to it

#

It’s a really drawn out animation

modest igloo
#

because the animation was before the move hitting you, so you killed it just before the move actually went off

#

kinda like the wind up of LB's

obsidian patio
#

You have until the symbol that appears gets cut in two or so

cursive abyss
#

Does this apply to engage timers in ultimates as well?

obsidian patio
#

Depends on the animation of the enrage

#

Sometime it’s just their regular raidwide attack but it does 99m damage instead

cursive abyss
modest igloo
#

sometimes it helps, sometimes it doesn't

rugged flicker
#

So what exactly are those three diamond shaped slots at the top of the astrologian gauge for?

obsidian patio
#

They’re for divination

rugged flicker
#

I just got to level 50, but I don't seem to have any commands unlocked yet that do anything with it.

modest igloo
#

gotta do job quests

rugged flicker
#

Ah okay.

obsidian patio
#

Cards now also give a seal that’s used to power it up. The more unique seals the more of a boost it gives

rugged flicker
#

Was putting it off. Always do grinding while I listen to a podcast, then story stuff after it's over. :x

obsidian patio
#

Ideally you use it with all 3 seals being different but if RNG doesn’t favor you then you use it with whatever amount of duplicates you have when it’s ready

#

Instead of holding it

cursive abyss
#

What kind of enrage is UCoB?

obsidian patio
#

For the final phase bahamut spams Ahk Morn but it does millions of damage instead

#

So you spread out around him so each one only kills one person

cursive abyss
#

Can you HG that?

obsidian patio
#

Nope

modest igloo
#

nope

obsidian patio
#

Enrages go through immunities

modest igloo
#

HG doesnt not invlun enrages

#

ye

leaden ginkgo
#

If its meant to kill you, its gonna

obsidian patio
#

Sometimes a couple damage splits do to avoid cheesing them

#

But they’re not as common

modest igloo
#

did invluns used to not do that back in ARR?

#

like how the coils were kinda broken by players

obsidian patio
#

Just a few select splits

cursive abyss
#

Aren't exoflares RNG in UCoB?

obsidian patio
#

Mainly Shiva EX’s split is one I remember

#

They follow a pattern of sorts

#

I can’t tell you how exactly it functions but you won’t ever see combinations that are impossible to safely dodge

#

Like 1-2-3-4-5

#

It may be something like 1-3-2-5-4

leaden ginkgo
#

hello guys

#

if I buy this

#

do I get 30 days ?

cursive abyss
#

Why are pets allowed to act during ultimate enrages?

obsidian patio
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

modest igloo
obsidian patio
#

@leaden ginkgo yes, but I don’t suggest buying from Eneba as it’s a Key reseller site

modest igloo
#

pets in this game are wack

obsidian patio
#

So there’s no guarantee that the code you buy isn’t already used or obtained from a stolen credit card

#

In which case if the person ever recovers their card and disputes the charge your account essentially gets banned

leaden ginkgo
#

they cant track the game keys like that

#

and also eneba gives me a receipt

obsidian patio
#

I’m just telling you to be careful.

#

Those sites are a lot cheaper than retail for a reason

leaden ginkgo
#

yup, I am thankful for that 😄

#

I already bought a lot of games from a lot of sites and never got a problem tho

#

and I was buying the game time from mog till I saw I can buy cheaper :))

modest igloo
#

wait, why are you buying a key if you already paid for game time?

obsidian patio
#

Also note that you can only redeem the starter edition only once per platform

#

You can’t keep redeeming it for the same platform

#

So if you already got the game on windows or steam you can’t use more windows keys

#

You’d need a Mac or PS4/PS5 key

leaden ginkgo
#

ohh

#

I though that will give me 30 days

#

when I will redeem

obsidian patio
#

Yes, but you already redeemed it for the game

leaden ginkgo
#

ohhh

#

I see

#

thanks for help 🙂

teal zealot
#

I just hit level 50, how come I can't accept the Samurai Job Quest

obsidian patio
#

Do you have the expansions registered to your account?

teal zealot
#

Oh I didn't know I needed the expansion oof

#

Thought it was a basegame class

#

thatd explain it

#

Does Shadowbringers come with the other expansion?

modest igloo
#

Yep

elfin wagon
#

any1 know how 2 access chat logs tht have disappeared on ps4 bc they go way after a certain time 4 some reason

teal zealot
#

so I bought shadowbringers, do I need to activate it or something?

#

still can't get the samurai quest

modest igloo
#

Yes, you need to activate and download it

#

Once you bought it you should have gotten instructions on how to use it

gloomy ice
elfin wagon
#

i see :/

teal zealot
#

So it says stormblood is installed and registered but still can't accept the the way of the samurai

#

do i need to be at a certain point in MSQ?

warped nest
#

Have you reopen your game?

teal zealot
#

yeah I reloaded it

warped nest
#

Did the launcher download more data?

teal zealot
#

oh

#

didn't fully restart my launcher lmao

#

thanks

warped nest
#

👌

#

So, it is downloading stuff now?

modest igloo
#

Is SAM locked after 2.0 msq as well?

warped nest
#

Nope

#

Only the Heavensward expansion jobs are locked behind a physical location

#

Stormblood and Shadowbringers jobs just need you to own the expansion and meet the level requirements. This will apply to Endwalker jobs too.

modest igloo
#

Good to know. Not too many things just level locked here

Is it worth casting Peleton in City States?

Peloton? yeah it's almost as fast as sprinting, use it anytime you cant use your mount tbh

potent shale
#

question with raid food and tinctures

#

what is BLU Mage Tinctures?

slate arrow
#

It's easier to just get the current INT potions for the most part

#

Unless you're willing to grind out the mats for the level 70 stuff

potent shale
#

ah nah I want to tap into the BLU raid market

slate arrow
#

... good luck?

deep gyro
#

anyone know why i can't fly in arr zones after using an msq skip on an alt? i checked all the prerequisite quests in the journal and they are all completed

slate arrow
#

might be a bug.

deep gyro
#

had a random bug happen on another alt once where the crystal tower raids weren't unlocked

#

(with msq skip)

teal zealot
#

Should I be trying to get all my pieces to 115iL once I swap over to Samurai? I got a box that had a few pieces of 115 SAM gear but not all pieces

slate arrow
#

You should be at 130, ideally.

#

130 is the maximum obtainable gear for A Realm Reborn

teal zealot
#

Oh dang, so should I get my total iL to at least 130 before I continue with MSQ?

worthy basin
#

go farm poetics on roulettes so you can exchange that to get some good augmented ironworks gear

slate arrow
#

!faq Poetics

zinc orbitBOT
slate arrow
#

There's a lot of instances both optional and part of the MSQ

#

So you'll soon have Poetics spilling out the wazoo at any rate

teal zealot
#

Ahh okay, do I just do the Duty Roullete on repeat for the Poetics?

slate arrow
#

no

#

Duty Roulettes only give bonuses once a daily reset

leaden ginkgo
#

should i farm the bozja raid for the gear???

#

How is it to do the Alexander savage-mode trials at 510 ilevel?

#

how easy?

shut panther
#

Soloable.

leaden ginkgo
#

Because, i'm probably never going get enough duty pops
