Last recall, 3 months every major patch ?

There's no need for x.6 patch and never had been needed
twilit arch
roughly 3mos, yes between patches
exception to that is .5 and .0 release
usually 6mos between the final patch and expac release

What stuff should i complete to get myself ready for 5.5 ? So far i've completed Futures Rewritten, All the nier stuff, and now im doing Eden. Anything else i should do before tuesday ?
viscid fossil
Working on my PLD
open ember
If you intend to do the new nier raid, do the other ones
That's the only requirement for that
open coral
Oh, and the Sorrows of Werlyt if you want to do the Diamond Weapon trial.

And ilvl whatever the min is

I've done 2 nier raids. Is there any more ?

only 2 as far i know
open coral
Nope, just the two for now.

one more, coming in 5.5
open coral
Third comes out on Tuesday
ocean acorn
Okay sweet
viscid fossil
I need some clarity on Bozjan stuff, is there a new raid in 5.5? or another area rank up to 25?
warped nest
Just make sure you follow up on Nier raid quest line
ocean acorn
Yeah, i've done the 2nd raid and all of the quests after that i think
open ember
Its better to do the nier quests earlier cuz you can be certain that Tomra is gonna be kinda. Laggy
warped nest
Yeah, then you should be good
heavy wadi
I need some clarity on Bozjan stuff, is there a new raid in 5.5? or another area...
The new bozja content comes in 5.55, presumably in may
ocean acorn
The last quest i did was the one|| where a dwarf guys was trying to apologise to the couple || thats the last one right ?
heavy wadi
It'll have a new zone and a new castrum-like instance, the Dalriada
viscid fossil
It'll have a new zone and a new castrum-like instance, the Dalriada
Oh ok I thought it was in 5.5
I guess along with the new relic next
open ember
5.5 is in 2 parts
Half on Tuesday the other half in may
Bozja is never released with the first part of the patch
That's how it was for 5.3
And 5.4
twilit arch
The last quest i did was the one|| where a dwarf guys was trying to apologise to...

can you get any sort of gear in the game (even if it's extremely low chance) through quick exploration ventures?

Yes

i've been getting crystarium gear through my retainers

so a friend of mine wants to transfer from phoenix to twintania, from a congested world to a preferred world
and he's still asked to pay 14 euros. is it because twintania's congested atm as well?
faint flare
None of those are congested
faint flare
Congested means you literally cant get in through any means
strange coral
Actual congested status will appear in place of Standard/Preferred
manic flare
why is it that crystal often has way more preferred worlds than any other datacenters? especially compared to non-NA ones
forest laurel
faint flare
Cause SE says so

higher ilvl = better chance at getting rarer items

so there's no point in leveling up warrior if gunbreaker is better in the only thing that makes warrior stand out?

No that's not true

self-sustain through healing is what makes war stand out

PLD or RDM because of the heal
forest laurel
from what I've heard:
potd: mch and rdm
hoh: gnb
jolly sorrel
I see, makes sense.
leaden ginkgo
rdm is great for self-sustain, mch is great for kiting
jolly sorrel
Why not a healer, considering healing is important?
forest laurel
not enough damage.
leaden ginkgo
damage
glossy flare
because their dmg sucks
jolly sorrel
Fair.
glossy flare
well... not sucks
leaden ginkgo
youll run out of time or just die to damage
normal hinge
no
glossy flare
sucks in comparison
forest laurel
you need to be really lucky with healers.
twilit arch
rdm and mch are top dogs for potd
normal hinge
dancer or mcj
twilit arch
mch tho requires you to know how to kite
whereas rdm is safer

DNC can't clear the boss of floor 180, iirc

dnc mch he says is best

just because he did it on dnc doesn't make it automatically the best

forest laurel

I fear I sparked a.. thing here. But the takeaway is RDM, at least. Also thanks, guide bookmarked

just because he did dnc floor 200 doesn't mean it's the best.

did not say
heavy wadi
a lot of potd comes down to just... luck
normal hinge
just said this person did it.
forest laurel
then why'd you say "no, dnc and mch."
twilit arch
and patience yes

normal hinge
I didn't say
forest laurel
you literally said that.
normal hinge
he said it's best. is all I said.

and we're saying mch and rdm are.

but yeah, I plan to try to solo-clear on rdm myself

lets go ahead and drop it

I recall shenanigans with some abilities affecting attacks but not skills, or something. Not sure
jolly sorrel
Ah, that was the one.
Only applies to healing then, not to worry about all the others?

Wording is very specific
Healing spells and healing actions are considered different

it usually calls out if something affects abilites or skills

same with spells (which are like skills)

Question. Doing ShB, I'm doing all main quests on my main job, but running ahead on levels compared to what's required. Will this catch up later, or is it.. "safe" to do a few levels on a second job, as not to waste exp?
wintry chasm
Well
How far ahead are you?
Also you'd have to level a second job all the way up to that level to soak that xp
jolly sorrel
I'm one level ahead on my WHM. Meanwhile I'm doing all sidequests on PLD who is merely one level behind. (75 and 73 respectively, msq lv74)

I figured if instead of my WHM I'd had done a few msq quests on my PLD, they'd be 74-74. Effectively I'd raise two jobs to max, at least.. that's what I'm hoping in theory?

generally speaking, you want to use your offensive cds first, putting no mercy first, then your dot, then your combos
defensive cds should be used when those tb's or other mechanics require them, you want to try to have 1 on hand at any time

slate arrow
Related question, it seems like PLD is the only job with a Passage of Arms-style...
Heart of Light, Shake it off, and Dark Missionary
jolly sorrel
I figured PLD's party mitigation is Divine Veil. But then has PoA on top of it
slate arrow
PLD is the only one with two
glossy flare
PLD really is the swiss army tank
slate arrow
Well, three, if you count the role action
glossy flare
just has more tools than the others, but not necessarily more powerful ones
remote lintel
not really that much more
jolly sorrel
So I assume that Divine Veil + PoA isn't going to make the difference over "just" a single party mitigation tool
Like Heart of Light, Shake it off and Dark Missionary
slate arrow
Technically it's less damage, but like, it'll make minimal difference for the healers
glossy flare
divine veil is surprisingly weak because it only affects the very next heal
remote lintel
divine veil is a tiny shield and poa only affects a cone behind you, whereas all the other tank mitigation are a radius around them/higher shield
remote lintel
shake it off is 15% shield, divine is 10%
jolly sorrel
Hmn, I see. It's interesting how different the tanks are
fading helm
is challenge log achievements @slate arrow

the tanks arent really that different

Invertedly, WAR and DRK have Thrill of Battle and Dark Mind, but GNB and PLD have no such "extra" mitigation?
fading helm
oh, then where do i find challenge log
slate arrow
Limsa, near the inn room
remote lintel
thrill of battle and dark mind are regular cycled mit
just like sheltron/sentinel/etc
jolly sorrel
I'm trying to get them to be "almost 1:1 for defensive cds" but I keep running into small exceptions all over the place.
remote lintel
theyre not going to be carbon copies but i would just organize all the regular defensive cds into one group
obsidian patio
And PLDβs random mitigation through blocking outside of Sheltron
jolly sorrel
Sentinel/Vengeange/Shadow Wall/Nebula make sense. All of them are 30% mitigation.
So do the ults, and the party mitigation (Divine+PoA/Shake it off/dark missionary/heart of light)
slate arrow
which buttons are you having issues with?
jolly sorrel
The roles make sense too, which means I have left.. uh, let me list

I think these buttons I'm not sure how to combine
