(hopefully permanently this time)

[coral sequoia]

first zonure skin map, got portal, frontier cloth... 2 alarm doors that turned rainbow lights plus enchanted elm lumber ... is that a fairly rare thing?

[twilit arch]

sounds like a pretty lucky run

[leaden ginkgo]

is 515 the last relic step or is there another one coming out in a later patch

[obsidian patio]

one more in 5.55

[leaden ginkgo]

thanks!

[lapis lagoon]

I know all classes are very balanced right now, is it the same at level 60 too?

[remote lintel]

yes

[twilit arch]

SE doesn't really care about balance at lower levels

but that said, its generally nothing too crazy that people care about either

[rigid dust]

does Adventurer in Need get double the tomes from the dailies?? or does 50/60/70 just give 120 Allegory by default o.o

[obsidian patio]

No.

[uneven tendon]

Just gil/exp bonus

[obsidian patio]

Along with GC seals for leveling roulette

[rigid dust]

oh okay, cool beans! thanks c:

[void cargo]

So, I've purchased the full complete edition game, and now I'm hiring my 1st retainer, why can't I make him/her a hrothgar or viera?

[twilit arch]

pc or ps4?

[void cargo]

pc

[twilit arch]

did you apply the code to your mogstation account?

[void cargo]

yes

and logge out and in

[twilit arch]

hrm, your login screen shows shadowbringers right?

[rigid dust]

full complete edition does this mean you bought the Shadowbringers expansion, or just the non-demo version of the game?

[void cargo]

arr and all 3 expansions

[warped nest]

And did you reopen launcher?

[void cargo]

its says so on mogstation

[brazen cypress]

speaking of expansions, if I got bought the base game 3 days ago, heavensward is part of it right?

[warped nest]

Yes, G

[brazen cypress]

thanks~

[void cargo]

no, I just logged out and logged in, but If i'm still on free trial I can't even hire a retainer in the 1st place

[warped nest]

Reopen your launcher, it should start grabbing your Shadowbringers (and Stormblood) stuff

Wtf?

[open ember]

Dont. Post that here

[twilit arch]

please ignore the hydaelyn cutlist

[void cargo]

10/10 shitpost

[twilit arch]

when you say logged out and in do you mean complete logged out of the game and back in?

[warped nest]

Going back to the title screen doesn't count in this context

You need to reopen launcher so it will start downloading additional expansion data

[void cargo]

I went to the main menu, but did not exit the client

[twilit arch]

complete close the client

[brazen cypress]

ouch. expansions require more downloading... forgot v_v

[warped nest]

Am I invisible here?

[brazen cypress]

@warped nest who said that

[void cargo]

yea, it's downloading some stuff now, I'm assuming its the stormblood & shadowbringers content?

[warped nest]

Yes

[dire prawn]

Yes

[brazen cypress]

So, the Griffin mount, it's only obtainable through the collectors edition for heavensward yes?

Meaning you can no longer get it?

[twilit arch]

you can still get it

[brazen cypress]

how tho

[twilit arch]

can upgrade thru mogstation

its in the additional services section

[warped nest]

Alternatively, the Anata (snake girls) beast tribe in Stormblood has a different griffin mount for purchase in game

[brazen cypress]

oh, so the heavensward content is in the base game, but you can still get the additional content through mog

[warped nest]

Yeah

[brazen cypress]

nice

[warped nest]

Just pay for difference to get collector edition goodies

[void cargo]

Is the recruitment channel on this discord just for raids or is it also for free companies? Any free companies taking in newbies like myself?

[warped nest]

Both

And ask there

[void cargo]

sweet as

on my discord it says recruitment-jp, is that because my data center is in japan?

[warped nest]

Yes

Certain channels will open for you based on your role in #612757637813239808

[void cargo]

is that what the role lounges are?

[warped nest]

Should be

I only have #doh-dol-lounge

[brazen cypress]

I'm assuming buying shadowbringers has all of stormbloods content?

[dire prawn]

Yes

[brazen cypress]

I click stormblood in mog and it brings me to shadowbringers

ah ok

[dire prawn]

Shadowbringers and Stormblood are bundled together

You can't buy them separate from each other

[warped nest]

To make it clear: Shadowbringers doesn't cost more because of this.

The tradition is just include previous expansions for free

So, if a new player coming in to play in 2022

They will pay for Endwalker at 40, and they will get Shadowbringers and Stormblood too

[leaden ginkgo]

how big is gridania relative to the entire ff14 world? I just met kan-e-senna and just trying to gauge her influence

[dire prawn]

Gridania is one of the three main city-states in Eorzea

Kan-E Senna serves as both leader of Gridania and also as the commander of the Order of the Twin Adder

[shut panther]

one of the more important npcs to the story that isn't a scion

[leaden ginkgo]

I see, thank you

[shut panther]

scions of course being essentially party members in relation to old FF games in later expansions

[shrewd owl]

most of them are casters lmao

[frozen girder]

I know this isn't macroable

But Is that too long?

I'm just playing around with how expert recipes work

[tidal yarrow]

if i remove someone from my friendlist, and then add them again after some time, do they have to accept it again?
i know the friend-system in this game works weird

[obsidian patio]

looks fine to me.

[glass oyster]

Yes. You only get 15 lines to a macro

Oh fuck

[frozen girder]

Not looking to macro

XD

[glass oyster]

LMAO

Do trial synthesis's

[obsidian patio]

you can make it into 2 macros if you're willing

[frozen girder]

I assume I would only use the 50% things when there's the buff that gives 25% extra

[glass oyster]

The what?

[obsidian patio]

I don't do expert recipes at all so I can't give much advice about optimizing them

[warped nest]

Macro for difficult recipe are almost always 2 part

[glass oyster]

Example, this is my 4 star macro part 1 - https://i.imgur.com/9IAkQAB.png part 2 - https://i.imgur.com/BMbw54M.png

[warped nest]

So close lol

[glass oyster]

I'm also heavily pentamelded + food + syrup

So mileage might vary

I found that by Google then adapting what I found to make it work for me

[warped nest]

Unless you really jacked up your Craftmanship to save a Synthesis steps

Otherwise a cheap meld with more HQ starting mats should be able to adopt a variation of this macro

[glass oyster]

https://i.imgur.com/4TkutDu.png

[warped nest]

Damn

[glass oyster]

A lot of time and gil went into this. I generally sit on the marketboard selling Exarchic gear with a 50k profit on mats.

[warped nest]

Just to add more info, GlowFire, based on what I know, if you do cheap meld, prioritize CP and Control to get more mileage out of your gear. Melding slightly more craftmanship won't make as big of a difference

[glass oyster]

Build progress so that you only need 1 step to complete the recipe then smash out Quality

[warped nest]

Expensive meld like what Larunda have means they are less reliant on starting with HQ materials

[glass oyster]

[fading aurora]

How do you activate the armoury buff

[rose oak]

I tried crafting and fell asleep

[rigid dust]

you're going to make so much money now that you've invested that tho.

like, even if 6.0 has better crafting gear, you'll still have the tools to be able to HQ it on your own, then do it all again to sell on the MB 🥰

[fading aurora]

I switched to level 1 conjurer

[warped nest]

It is passive

Armoury EXP bonus FAQ

'How do I get the bonus experience from the Armoury?'

As long as you're playing a Disciple of War or a Disciple of Magic class that's a lower level than your highest level class then you're able to benefit from the bonus experience. You do not need to have a class at level 80 for the bonus to be active.

'How much is the bonus experience?'

You get +100% experience from levels 1 to 69, which then reduces to +50% for level 70 to 79. The difference in level between your current class and highest class does not change the amount of experience you get.

[warped nest]

Yay

[rigid dust]

fourth times the charm~

[warped nest]

It is there passively as long as you are leveling a lower level combat classes

You don't need to do anything

[fading aurora]

U guys didn't spell armoury right that's why it didn't work

Lol

[glass oyster]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[fading aurora]

Ok thank

You

[glass oyster]

Armoury is correct in AU/UK English

Kupo is American

[uneven tendon]

Legit I constantly get confused with when it is Armour vs armor with this game

[cerulean ether]

Will the sage job use the healer gear that's currently available? I want to pre-buy the Augmented Scaevan gear with poetics for when it is released.

[glass oyster]

More than likely

[warped nest]

Yes

Absolutely yes

No need to make up a new group of gear just for one job

Glancing at DRG and NIN

[cerulean ether]

the only different is that it will have its own weapon right?

[warped nest]

Yes, Ghost

[rigid dust]

i want to start doing E12S to save up for the weapon, what should i do to prepare?

i've done SoS:EX as three different roles, but i'm still nervous about being fresh to the fight, and upsetting a prog group. ;-;

[fossil bloom]

I need help.

[rigid dust]

with?~

[fossil bloom]

https://ffxiv.eorzeacollection.com/glamour/64565/hawk-eyes-mihawk

The class is bard, but what is the race?

I don't find that beard anywhere.

[rigid dust]

looks like Male Au Ra c:

[fossil bloom]

Thanks! Unfortunately I can't have a tail. xD

[rigid dust]

or male miqo'te? im unsure actually >.>

[fossil bloom]

hmmm

I'm trying to cosplay One Piece (my favorite anime) and I'm trying to cosplay Dracule Mihawk. Here's the result so far.

But I need that pointy beard.

[glass oyster]

It will be rough. Just be up front and say "I have no done this before" but Savage is completely different to Extremes.

Best of luck ❤️

[rigid dust]

but Savage is completely different to Extremes.
i was hoping you wouldnt say that 😂 time to get some lemonade and head to youtube~ tysm!!

[glass oyster]

Recommend watching a few guides (like MTQcapture or MrHappy1227) and/or reading a guide on SaltedXIV

[rigid dust]

was gonna look up MTQ specifically c:< good call on salted!! i'll check there too

[leaden ginkgo]

I looked him up, he's playing a male miqo'te. He could have mods on in those screen shots

[glass oyster]

https://discord.gg/thebalanceffxiv also recommend

[fossil bloom]

TY!

[uneven tendon]

Savage you're more likely to wipe because of a mistake rather than people flat out not understanding. I refuse to do savage on my PS5 since I have no keyboard hooked up

[glass oyster]

I've seen plently of people do Savage on controller. looks at DrakGamestein

[rose oak]

Is it true you can get the 6 memories for relic in a day

[uneven tendon]

Oh I know you can do it on controller, I play on PC with one, but without a keyboard to explain things is a hot mess and PS on screen keyboard is garbage

By the time you write 'Sorry, about that mechanic, did I do it right?' They've countdown timer'd and pulled

[rigid dust]

thats why you just gotta shorten it to "orz"

[uneven tendon]

Orz?

(ootl)

[little swift]

it uses the official in-game spelling of it

to refer to it

only US is different anyways

[rigid dust]

its a person!! c: they're kneeling down, simultaneously begging the gods' forgive them of their mistakes - and cursing the gods for bringing them into this brutal existence

[remote lintel]

i always thought it was a person on the ground in a fetal position

this is news to me

[uneven tendon]

I'm so lost lol. But yeah, I used to raid savage in HW and SB, tried to PUG Eden's gate and got, well, gated at E3s in PF with people running the bait circles into the safe zone and noped out. I have a crappy bluetooth keyboard but it misses characters or just flat out doesn't work most times

[remote lintel]

theres no mods in the screenshot what

[leaden ginkgo]

That's why I said "could have"

at what level is the first expansion content

[uneven tendon]

50, but you may very well be higher than that by the time you get to it

[remote lintel]

starts at 50

[rigid dust]

by quest level:

1-50 is ARR
50-60 is Heavensward
60-70 is Stormblood
70-80 is Shadowbringers

[leaden ginkgo]

oh ok thank you

[uneven tendon]

How hard are the final floors of each omega savage tier to do unsynced? About level with current extremes or still harder?

[remote lintel]

theyre not going to be harder obviously because theyre 70

you still need to know the mechanics for some of them

[warped nest]

It will be a shorter fight as you massively out-stat them

But you need to practice harder mechanics as they are savage raids

[uneven tendon]

Ah ok thanks, I always see PF groups but get put off by the fact they're looking to straight up farm when I've not stepped foot in them

[remote lintel]

then make a completion party

[uneven tendon]

Yeah I know, I'm just one of those fidgety people. I hate sitting in PF and need to be doing stuff all the time lol

[rigid dust]

if you find a solution to this, please let me know~ 😂

[uneven tendon]

I levelled my gatherers and crafters to 80 thinking it would tide me over, but instead I end up just setting time aside to do either of them and have a chill 'no instanced content' day

[rigid dust]

we are the same person

[uneven tendon]

I wonder how many people sit in PF just refreshing the screen to see if someone is conveniently recruiting already, instead of just creating their own, statistically speaking

[leaden ginkgo]

Probably more than you'd think

[uneven tendon]

Any controller users on PC? Noticed with 5.5 I now have to launch steam, launch game, close steam, connect controller, disconnect controller then reconnect controller to get it to work

[gloomy mortar]

I had that once. I reinstalled the controller drivers

[leaden ginkgo]

You can use an controller emulator to get a work around. See if this helps https://gamerinfo.net/game/final-fantasy-xiv/x360ce/

If you're using a PS style, there is an equivalent

[uneven tendon]

I'll try reinstalling, thanks!

[leaden ginkgo]

someone said they invited me to a free company where do I accept?

bit lost

You should have a little notification window pop up on your screen. It's the same as a party invite in style.

[unreal folio]

so gonna do the Ruby weapon EX for the first time, and just curious how are the drop rates for the mounts ?

[fading aurora]

Guys I jumped up and got glitched in this thing do I have to tp away ?

Or how do I get unstuck

[uneven tendon]

They're not stellar, I think I saw one roughly every 20ish runs, but by then you've probably got new party members so sometimes you'll be going to 99 for the totem exchange. (Because you'll be rolling against everyone unless they stick around - rare)

[unreal folio]

ooooof!

the road to the mechanical dragon mount will be a long one then xD

thnx for the heads up

[leaden ginkgo]

Sometimes jumping backwards works. If it doesn't you'll just have to teleport

[fading aurora]

I tped away I've jumped there like 50 times and only just now gotten stuck lol

[leaden ginkgo]

thanks I managed to accept it (:

That'll happen unfortunately. You just get hung up on one little polygon on the model, or the hitbox is being weird. I only mention the backwards jump because it's a technique often used to sneak into places you really shouldn't be. Wall jumping and the like. Sometimes it can unstick you in certain situations.

[fading aurora]

I was too lazy to try stuff so I just tped

[last brook]

How useful is Haste +12 in Bozjan Southern Front from the i510 gearset? Is it a noticeable difference?

[obsidian patio]

Each point of haste is a 0.02 reduction to your GCD when in the Bozjan Southern Front or Delubrum Reginae.

for jobs that scale good off of their GCD, like Black Mage and the tanks to an extent, it's very good.

for the rest of the jobs, it's not as great, but the only way gear-wise to increase your damage in bozja content.

[gloomy mortar]

Do you really notice a 0.02 difference?

[slate arrow]

sometimes

mainly when you're trying to nail 5 GCDs in a 10 second window

[little swift]

the more you play a job

the more you notice small differences like that

at least from a timing perspective some things can be more comfortable at certain gcds

[gloomy mortar]

So if you don’t notice it, should you go CH/DH over speed

[obsidian patio]

well it depends on if your job has a GCD that's preferable/optimal to be at

if it doesn't or you're already at that GCD, then you stop stacking it and go for Crit/DH/Det

or in the case of spell speed black mage, it's your main secondary stat to go for.

[little swift]

for some jobs, the optimal gcd is the base gcd

mostly physical range jobs that have better alignments and scale better off crit/dh/det

[gloomy mortar]

Reddit said skill speed is uselyfor machinist. Why?

Useless

[uneven tendon]

I thought all ranged hated skill speed

[rigid dust]

ilevel > Crit > DH > Det for ranged physical

[slate arrow]

all ranged don't like SkS but MCH is useless due to Heat Blast

Heat Blast is always at the 1.5 GCD minimum regardless of stats

[obsidian patio]

Machinist's drill and air anchor skills can also sometimes come off cooldown in the middle of a GCD for some GCD ranges

which wastes time

[little swift]

it scales less good for them and hypercharge lets you use heatblast, which is at gcd cap

[fading aurora]

Do some mobs only come out at night? In the battle log it says arbor buzzard is in bentbranch but I've looked everywhere and can't find them

[slate arrow]

generally no, unless it's Eureka or Bozja

[little swift]

air anchor and drill are unique gcds that have a separate cd but also adhere to sks

so you want them to align better

by having little to none sks

[fading aurora]

Can't find the firefly or buzzard anywhere

[obsidian patio]

IIRC The buzzards should be around x28, y30

[gloomy mortar]

Archer and dancer also no skill speed?

[obsidian patio]

I think Archer wants something like 2.48 or so due to song duration

but Dancer ideally wants 0

[uneven tendon]

Dancer has the steps every 30 seconds so again you don't want your GCD getting in the way of it

[uneven tendon]

Firefly can be found inside the tomb

[gloomy mortar]

🧋

If I make say 10 HQ Coffee Biscuits, then buy 20 HQ Coffee Buscuits from the market board, will the stack of 30 still say that it was made by me?

[candid ruin]

When leveling a tank should i always try and have gear thats the same level as the dungeon?

[obsidian patio]

near the same level as you, but yeah.

the story will help keep you well geared for the most part.

[candid ruin]

Yeah i ran sohm al with level 50 gear and got called out

That being said the guy didnt cleanse my 4 stack of bleed so

[hard parrot]

Which level is Sohm Al?

[obsidian patio]

as long as a majority/all of your gear is above the minimum item level, being 105 for Sohm Al, you can generally get by fine

[candid ruin]

53

[obsidian patio]

you may not be able to do wall2wall pulls, but you can still clear

[hard parrot]

Eh. That’s not so bad. Might be low for wall-to-wall pulls, but you’re leveling anyways.

[fading aurora]

I couldn't find the buzzard because they were above on that massive tree branch

...

Damn u game

[obsidian patio]

most people probably just expect you in full augmented ironworks, which is i130 and the best possible level 50 gear.

[junior fog]

any gather gods, i have a question. does quick gather prevent the use of deep vigor?

[candid ruin]

I mean this level 54 gear seems weaker than ironworks

I guess with materia it could be a little stronger?

[obsidian patio]

if it's normal quality, then yes.

high-quality would make it better

materia wouldn't do enough to make normal quality gear better than its high-quality equivalent

[obsidian patio]

yes

[junior fog]

ahh that sucks, ty

[candid ruin]

I have augmented ironworks already

So im not sure what gear he wanted me to upgrade to

[obsidian patio]

maybe you bought the wrong accessories? Do yours have the "Fending" or "Slaying" tag in their name?

[candid ruin]

Yeah my accessories are all level 50 but a bit of a mess

I have a couple of healer accessories because i leveled a scholar but i figured two wrong accessories wouldnt cause me to just melt

[obsidian patio]

it does lose you out on a fair amount of damage, and those accessories might be giving you useless secondary stats like spell speed and piety, which do nothing for tanks.

[candid ruin]

Yeah i've replaced them now that i have the tomestones

do you think augmented ironworks is okay to 60?

[coral sequoia]

Can you convert white scrips into yellow?

[slate arrow]

no

[gloomy mortar]

Other gathering question: my rotation for collecting lvl 80 mats with 865 GP is: Pick Clean (250), Blessed Harvest II (500), Bountiful Harvest (100). Is there a better way to get more total items?

dang ok

[coral sequoia]

How do you get more rarefied stuff to craft? Mine all stop at like lv60, but the turn ins I need to do are 71+

[slate arrow]

unlock the rhalgrs house of rowena

[coral sequoia]

hmm not sure what that means 100%, but I will google that

[leaden ginkgo]

Is it worth learning goldsmithing?

[midnight lion]

yes

[leaden ginkgo]

All crafting skills are worth learning

[obsidian patio]

You ideally want to replace it with the level 55 dungeon gear and level 54/56 HQ crafted gear as there’s a sudden jump in defense that starts at the level 54 gear

[gloomy mortar]

Can you change the order of gear sets in the menu?

[coral sequoia]

What I looked up, said to have 2 quests done, but I have the quests done.. I just can't craft the 60+ rarefied stuff, I can do the 50-60 though

[leaden ginkgo]

well I was super excited to learn it but then it told me I need to finish level 10 quest of my starting class - oops!

[dire prawn]

'Sights of Crimson and Dawn'

This was not here before I accepted this msq

[midnight lion]

that can be done in about fifteen minutes, dw
just do your hunting logs to get there

oh! the class quest - you'll need to go back and do that

[obsidian patio]

You want to keep up on your class quests as they unlock your job and give you actions to use

[leaden ginkgo]

Right click each set in the list. From there you can change the number or move them up or down

[winged fossil]

can males wear rainmaker and does it look the same?

[finite topaz]

Yes and yes

[winged fossil]

hmmmm, not the one for me. thank you

[fading aurora]

It's crazy how I went from black mage to conjurer and ques are instant, is everyone dps in this game?

[slate arrow]

more or less

[fading aurora]

Is red mage a level 50 class?

It looked really cool while others played it

[agile laurel]

it unlocks at level 50, yes

[slate arrow]

it's a stormblood job so yes

[agile laurel]

you require any level 50 combat job to unlock it

and stormblood on your account

[slate arrow]

*50

[agile laurel]

fair

always fuck that up

[leaden ginkgo]

So I've been playing all 4 tanks to see which I like the most and I would like some confirmation on my reasoning please

. I have a 60Drk 80Gnb 50pld 40war.

Gnb just plays like a dps that is titled as tank. Love it.

War feels like the real dps of the tanks in terms of doing raw damage.

Pld feels like the , I'm going to take all the damage and recieve zero damage. The tank of tanks.

But i cannot see what is special about drk except if you like edge and greatswords

[uneven tendon]

The Blackest Night on DRK is OP

[leaden ginkgo]

Your reasoning is just your opinion on it. I certainly don't agree with what you've written

[brazen cloak]

Hey guys,new player here. How do I unlock the Chocobo mount? Im lvl 22

In Gridania

[leaden ginkgo]

Yes ... So tell me where im wrong

[left moth]

Drk needs some polish in 6.0 since its kind defined by tbn, and bloodspiller is great value fell cleave. Its perfectly playable but not the most fun

[leaden ginkgo]

Im genuinely trying to understand the strength of each job

This isn't the place for personal opinion or debate. Personally I don't feel like arguing points that are just up to individual preference

[agile laurel]

the strength and defining characteristic of drk is tbn

simply enough put

[left moth]

Warrior is a burst damage tank then boring waiting for ir again. Also too angry to die

[agile laurel]

beyond that, considering that bloodspiller and quietus are, iirc, literally fell cleave and decimate and delirium is just inner release now

[left moth]

(good self healing cd's, ehh hongang)

[agile laurel]

drk's tradeoff being living dead is one of the more annoying invulns in the game

as you're forced to heal the drk for full value after making use of it

[left moth]

Yeah i helped a streamer with diamond norm. He popped living dead but died anyways because derp server

[candid ruin]

may i ask how items color work? cant find proper wiki page about it

[agile laurel]

specifically? like, the rarity colour, or dye, or what

[candid ruin]

rarity yes

white/green/blue/pink?

[agile laurel]

mm, yes and no really

white is just normal quality, usually for crafted gear

green usually for dungeon drops

some exceptions for crafted gear

blue is raid or tomestone gear, generally the highest ilvl gear

purple is just relic weapons

[left moth]

Blue tends to be tome, yellow crafted equipmemt, green i think is dungeon, pink is aetheral so arr and old diadem

[agile laurel]

pink is a relic of ARR and can just be ignored or treated as the same as green/white at very low levels

[uneven tendon]

Yeah pink(aetherial) was dungeon gear but the sub-stats were randomised

[candid ruin]

ohh okay

well then

as a end game character

my gear should be full green or blue one?

[uneven tendon]

Blue

[agile laurel]

best not to think of it like that

[candid ruin]

so i can either grind tokens or drop it from raids, is that right?

[agile laurel]

look at the actual value of the items

[dire prawn]

When you're at the level cap for each expac (50/60/70/80) you should be wearing all blue gear

[uneven tendon]

Green caps out at 505 now unless you're talking the green crafted, which caps at 510 unless augmented to 520. Blue caps at 530

[slate arrow]

Currently, the item level caps per expansion is 130/270/400/530

[candid ruin]

ohh okay

[left moth]

At the end of expansion all crypt/tome inless you're dumb like me and bent on a certain build

[candid ruin]

what do u mean by all crypt/tome? I'm super new, 40lv

[uneven tendon]

Or if you're not raiding and trying to gear every job, because they won't unlock tome gear until expansion

[candid ruin]

u mean i should spent all my tokens at the end of each expansion?

[dire prawn]

Oh you're at 40?

[candid ruin]

to get the best gear possible before next one?

[slate arrow]

okay so slow down

[dire prawn]

Arclight

[slate arrow]

what's your current question again?

[fading aurora]

How many daily roulettes can I do?

[left moth]

Crypt is the short hamd for the current end tome equipment (i520/530 augmented)

[candid ruin]

my main question was, item rarity

[slate arrow]

You can do all of them, but the daily bonus is once a day.

[candid ruin]

u answered it already

[slate arrow]

👌

[fading aurora]

I only have 1 dungeon in my duty roulette

[left moth]

At lv 40 wouldnt worry too much since tons of msq to burn through

[dire prawn]

You're leveling and progressing through the MSQ so you want to be in green colored gear from dungeons

[slate arrow]

Below 50, you only have access to Guildhests and Leveling roulettes

[candid ruin]

yeah

[dire prawn]

At 40 your best dungeon gear comes from the Lv 35 dungeon Sunken Temple of Qarn and the Lv 38 dungeon Cutter's Cry

[left moth]

Just get ironworks once 2.0/praetorium is done in a hot week or whatever the rate of progress is

[vital ruin]

Why do I keep getting labyrinth of ancients and syrus castle via dr
It's been a week I haven't gotten anything else
Last invalice raid was maybe 10 days back or more
I'm using drg lv77 i400

[candid ruin]

do i have to worry about gear in each expansion? what i mean, are those expansions hard? or at least medium hard ;D

[dire prawn]

Not until you hit 50

Actually

[candid ruin]

hmm okay

[dire prawn]

Let me correct myself

[finite topaz]

Other people are queueing for it directly/iLVL cheesing

[dire prawn]

Level 50 and completion of The Praetorium

[slate arrow]

All gear does is help you complete content faster or cheese content with damage

[left moth]

People probably stripping nakked to force it in roulette (or farming for relic)

[slate arrow]

For the most part, you won't be surviving failed mechanics

Difficulty comes from execution, not gear in this game

[vital ruin]

Goddamnit man how am I even gonna learn/practice other raid
If I keep getting the fucking same raids over and over for weeks

[candid ruin]

good

thats a good thing

[slate arrow]

just directly queue for the content

[vital ruin]

People even raid wipe in labyrinth of ancients

That takes forever

[left moth]

Manually queueing :|

[slate arrow]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[vital ruin]

And I wanna use the dr exp

It sucks cos they're so many better raids
And I get stuck with these 2

I don't even get void ark

[slate arrow]

It's the lowest common denominator so it's the most common one

[dire prawn]

Speaking of Void Ark

Where is the unlock for that

I want new alliance raids

[vivid hedge]

i want to get into Ishgardian Restoration content but i don't have any crafters unlocked. which DoH/DoL would be the best pick as the first and only crafter for now? i don't mean the IR only

[slate arrow]

yes.

all of them

if you only do one you'll be spending more on materials

[vivid hedge]

oh okay

[rigid dust]

and not to mention, the amount of XP you get from doing the turn-ins is insane

[vivid hedge]

any good crafter leveling guides out there then? found this (https://docs.google.com/document/d/1L1aDMxZOjhdmzsilToDvsrwqfcUOs6NKxhsCBa1IwVQ/edit) but it's updaated to 5.05

[rigid dust]

honestly, my advice would be to do the ishgardian restoration stuff if you can get the mats. otherwise, it's daily GC turn-ins, job quests, and levequests until you get access to the DoL/DoH stuff in the Crystarium

[delicate field]

Can you enter POTD from level 1?

[little swift]

yes

[leaden ginkgo]

@little swift can U help me

[little swift]

with?

[leaden ginkgo]

I downloaded ps5 version but my ui is reset. Is there anyway to get it back? It took me so long to perfect it

[leaden ginkgo]

If I remember correctly, they have no limit on them.

[delicate field]

On PC the UI is saved on the machine itself, not the "cloud", i would imagine it's the same on playstation

[little swift]

you can upload your ui to the cloud on PC

you can't do that on playstation afaik

[fading aurora]

Can I try red mage in trial or do I need to get expansions?

[little swift]

no you need expansions

[dire prawn]

Expansions

RDM and SAM are from Stormblood while GNB and DNC are from Shadowbringers

[fading aurora]

I kinda Wana wait for the new expansion to come out first

[slate arrow]

@vivid hedge check #doh-dol-lounge pins

[slate arrow]

Then you gotta wait for RDM, SAM, DNC and GNB

[fading aurora]

@delicate field playstation doesn't have a folder like pc

[delicate field]

To save money on buying an expansion?

[fading aurora]

@delicate field I'm not 100% sure if I'm gonna continue final fantasy yet so I don't Wana just drop 50$ for nothing

I'm still leveling to 60

[delicate field]

Yeah for sure, 50 bucks isn't trivial

[fading aurora]

It would still be a waste, I've spent thousands on other games and just quit weeks after lol

[delicate field]

The game goes on sale for half price every 3 months

[fading aurora]

Someone said it goes on sale only on special occasions now you're saying every 3 months

Hnmmm

[delicate field]

Well it goes on sale regularly, that's all that needs to be said

[slate arrow]

Do note we are approaching an expansion so while Shadowbringers complete edition will on sale sometime soon Endwalker will be full price

[fading aurora]

How often does it go on sale on steam

[slate arrow]

Not as often.

Once a year at best?

[fading aurora]

Is there a estimated date for endwalker

[slate arrow]

Fall

[dire prawn]

You're telling me I'll need to drop $40 for just Endwalker when it hits?

[slate arrow]

Yes

[fading aurora]

But endwalker will probs come with shadowbringers@dire prawn

[polar hound]

it will

[glossy flare]

It will include SB and ShB when it releases

[rigid dust]

yup. this is pretty common for MMOs, an up-front cost for an expansion and then your regular monthly subscription.

however, if you haven't bought an expansion yet, buying Endwalker will also unlock the content of all other expansions before it

[fading aurora]

I wonder what level cap final fantasy will end at

[slate arrow]

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

No reason to end it. FF11 still gets updates

[rigid dust]

Endwalker is supposed to start a brand new storyline, so i think we gots a ways to go~ 😄

[fading aurora]

I mean some mmos do unexpected things like wow where they downgraded level cap

Which is weird

[dire prawn]

WoW did a stat squish

[glossy flare]

EW will also stat squish

[slate arrow]

WoW is just a more elaborate stat squish

[glossy flare]

Just not the lvl here

[dire prawn]

Which is why they cut the level in half

[slate arrow]

For ffxiv they're just modifying the stat curve

So instead of 5% every level it's going to be closer to 1%

[rigid dust]

plus it also makes sense for WoW where the expansion stories are mostly unrelated to one another, and people likely have more than one character

[fading aurora]

Does shadowbringers come with play time? If u buy it on steam

[slate arrow]

no

[dire prawn]

I don't know a lot of MMOs but I can't think of any other ones that have both a requirement to buy expacs and a monthly sub

[halcyon gorge]

do i get glamour plates from the market?

[fading aurora]

@dire prawn wow

[slate arrow]

WoW is the most famous example for this, but it does have the War Chest which grants access to everything but the current expansion.

[dire prawn]

I thought WoW was just a monthly sub

[slate arrow]

(Which, coincidentally, happened to be included with your subscription.)

[fading aurora]

No u pay like 50$ for new expansions

In wow

[rigid dust]

you already have them, if they're unlocked c:
open your Character screen, and click the Glamour Plate option (in the middle here)

[glossy flare]

It was a pretty popular business model back in the day, things just shifted to a more f2p approach for the most part

[halcyon gorge]

there's nothing there

oh i see

[fading aurora]

They have the same system as final fantasy, monthly fee and current expansion has all the others. Only difference is that u can buy play time with gold in wow so eventually when u farm u won't have to spend money on play time apart from expansions

[halcyon gorge]

nvm thanks

[rigid dust]

you may need to do a quest first, then. let me check what its called real quick

oh, cool! no prob c:

[slate arrow]

No, you just need to unlock additional jobs or classes.

Which has the prereq of the level 10 class quest

[rigid dust]

that's for gear sets, isnt it? o:

[slate arrow]

Yes

[kind eagle]

So elemental cant go mana

[slate arrow]

At the moment yes that's correct

[kind eagle]

Till next patch?

[slate arrow]

5.58, iirc. Which is the patch after the next one, patch 5.55

[little swift]

we don't have firm information about the official release date

other than that steam update leak

[kind eagle]

Lol

[little swift]

but also based on when world visit released

it would be roughly at a similar time

[kind eagle]

Shld be soon then

Like late this year

[slate arrow]

Soon is anywhere between now and endwalker's release

[kind eagle]

[rigid dust]

is there a way to set a hotbar to only display when in combat?

[slate arrow]

No?

[uneven tendon]

Half measure would be toggle it with a macro

[rigid dust]

oooh, that's a solid idea. i'll check that out, thanks!

[leaden ginkgo]

trying to get all of my classes up to my black mage level, got conjurer to level 16 allowing me to do the roulette but that took a few hours to get from 8 to 16 (doing mostly just hunting log) any other tips you guys would recommend for the rest of my classes?

[proud willow]

Hunting log, Fates, and random enemies in the world are the typical way to get from 1 to 16

Make sure you have the Brand New Ring from the Novice quests equipped

[leaden ginkgo]

I do, but man, that was slow lol, should I do fates then to get the rest of my classes atleast to the next hunting log rank?

[rigid dust]

you might also wanna try out Palace of the Dead if you're okay with something a little redundant.

[proud willow]

1-16 shouldn't be that slow

[agile laurel]

not particularly redundant

and probably quicker than hunt logs

just tedious as fuck

[leaden ginkgo]

Lemme check

[rigid dust]

ahhhh yeah tedious is a better word

[leaden ginkgo]

Im fine with tedious, just lemme see if it just felt long, or if Im doing something wrong real quick

ok so it took me around 2 hours to get from 10 to 16

[ocean acorn]

When i try to register for normal raid roulette i get this. Even though im 65 and the option to queue up is avaliable

[proud willow]

at 65, only Alexander is available. do you have more than 1 Alexander fight unlocked?

[leaden ginkgo]

So should I do potd to get atleast my classes to level 10?

[agile laurel]

it'd be decently quick

yeah

[ocean acorn]

I already have multiple jobs on 80 so its weird that it doesnt work

[proud willow]

But do you have more than 1 Alexander fight unlocked?

[slate arrow]

You only have one Normal Raid unlocked or your item level is too low

[leaden ginkgo]

hmm okay, anything else you guys would recommend then besides potd and hunting logs? That I can do while in queue?

[obsidian patio]

not much at that low of a level

and you can't leave quarrymill while in a queue for POTD

[leaden ginkgo]

oh you cant?

[slate arrow]

You can't leave the zone

[proud willow]

honestly, I would expect PotD to be even slower than Fates when you're that low level

[slate arrow]

PoTD queues are pretty quick assuming you're going for 1-10 to 51-60

As you can start on those floors rather than going all the way up from 1

[leaden ginkgo]

Yeah Im just trying to get up one to two levels for each class besides cnj and blm, so potd should be fine

[gilded forge]

How far into bozja am I able to do the next step of the relic upgrades? Also when can I get the judge armor? I just got the green memories of the dying, and got the first glowing weapon. Rank 10 if that helps.

[leaden ginkgo]

its fairly simple from what Ive seen

atleast for the early levels

[obsidian patio]

You need to complete Delubrum Reginae to continue the relic past the i500 step

[slate arrow]

Judge armor is Delebrum Reginae which is the instance after the Bozja Southern Front

[obsidian patio]

which involves completing Castrum Lacus Litore at least once.

[agile laurel]

and thus having rank 10

[gilded forge]

I beat Castrum once, and got some coins

Do I just continue the main quest there?

[obsidian patio]

should be more quests either in BSF or Gangos then

[agile laurel]

continue the questline then

iirc from gangos

[gilded forge]

Gotcha, thanks!

[agile laurel]

should be at bajsaljen sp

[leaden ginkgo]

oh and one more question is this guide still good for leveling doh/dol?
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1L1aDMxZOjhdmzsilToDvsrwqfcUOs6NKxhsCBa1IwVQ/edit?usp=sharing

[obsidian patio]

nope

[gilded forge]

How long does the next "Step" take for the weapons, out of curiosity? Running Antitower 6 times wasn't too bad.

[obsidian patio]

it contains a ton of outdated info from before a big revamp to crafting skills

[leaden ginkgo]

Ahh I see, so theres been a lot of changes?

[obsidian patio]

The steps after the green memories are pretty steep in comparison to the previous ones.

[leaden ginkgo]

anything recent thats fairly similar to it?

[obsidian patio]

not quite a leveling guide, but this has a bunch of example rotations to use at various levels https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/gs62di/post_mortems_lv180_disciple_of_the_hand_leveling/

[gilded forge]

How steep are we talking? I didn't really mind doing the 20/20/20 fates really

[leaden ginkgo]

Oh ok well def will look at that!

[agile laurel]

you'll want to unlock the heavensward alliance raids if you haven't

it'll make you despise this step a little less

[obsidian patio]

The i510 step wants 15 Loathsome memories. These either come from the ARR 24-man series or by completing CEs (with an RNG chance) or from CLL (gives 5).

[gilded forge]

Ohh thaaaaaat's why people are running the crystal tower all day

[obsidian patio]

After that is a one-time step which only needs to be done once. It wants 18 of two different crystals. One type comes from HW 24-mans and Gyr Abania SB zone FATEs. The other type comes from the Othard zone FATEs and SB 24-mans. The FATEs are an RNG drop.

[agile laurel]

clarification, yes that means 32 total

and yes the fate rng chance is dire

[obsidian patio]

The final step that takes it to i515 and lets you fully customize the secondary stat wants 15 tokens either from Delubrum Reginae or an RNG chance from Palace of the Dead, with floors above 100 giving a better chance.

The FATE drop rate felt like %20-ish chance when I did it.

[slate arrow]

RE: fate farming; just hunker down and do it. It's only once, anyways

[gilded forge]

Jesus, I was thinking to myself "Maybe I'll put on some coffee and hammer it out later"

I think I'm gonna space this out over a few days instead that sounds insane

[obsidian patio]

It's just the Resistance relic finally being a proper relic in difficulty/grind. /s

[agile laurel]

haha. a few days

imagine

<_>

[slate arrow]

Took me about 3 days, but I kept it varied by hopping zones and stuff

[gilded forge]

I have zero life atm

Perfect time to dedicate myself to something useless

[agile laurel]

took me a lil around a week cause i'd rather do anything but that

[gilded forge]

Now are these weapons still relevant / useful, or are they glam only?

[slate arrow]

Relevant.

[gilded forge]

Added bonus

[slate arrow]

They'll be BiS by next patch anyways or close to it

530 + custom stat allotacation

Which is more total substats than a fully melded savage weapon

(and another step to get it up to 535, if past relics are of any trend)

[gilded forge]

Ooooh

So this sounds like a pretty good use of my time to future proof weapons

I mean, until Endwalker then all bets are off of course

[slate arrow]

Not future proof since they're gonna be downgraded to glam by end

Yeah

But it's a nice grind and you get a relevant weapon that is also shiney

[gilded forge]

Plus the bragging rights speak for themselves

[midnight lion]

the only issue with the relic grind in the final step is well, DR

[slate arrow]

yeah no I don't like their stingyness with the drops

[gilded forge]

You're talking about the fate ones?

[agile laurel]

doing content is fun
don't you enjoy content

[slate arrow]

Mainly the later 2 steps. 18/18 and the Dellybun/Palace

[agile laurel]

anyway, digress

relic is annoying but you only gotta do it once or twice

[gilded forge]

I've got three of them on the go

[slate arrow]

Drop rate of 1 an hour or 1 maybe every 10 floors, which can take up to an hour or more each the lower you go

[gilded forge]

And I know nothing about POTD so I likely won't be doing that step

[slate arrow]

Eureka was better since you only had to really grind once, but that's discussion.

[gilded forge]

Can I run the raids on any job or does it have to be the one I'm trying to get in on?

[glossy flare]

Can be any job

[gilded forge]

Figure I may as well get some exp while I'm there

[slate arrow]

just need the quest active

[glossy flare]

just need the quest active

[slate arrow]

That's the saving grace of the DRN step

[gilded forge]

It's not much, but it's.. something

[junior fog]

I was leveling my miner to yellow scips and i heard that i should also level my botanist. Can anyone tell me why both should be leveled

[jolly sorrel]

I don't think there's a "should", there. It's very convenient to have both, though.

[obsidian patio]

it basically doubles or near doubles your yellow/white scrip income

since if you only have miner or botanist there's a lot of downtime between unspoiled nodes

whereas if you have both you're gathering more collectables overall.

[vital ruin]

Wiped 3 times to Titania
What's the conditions when Titania wipes

[slate arrow]

You don't meet the adds DPS check, you hit the floor with the flame fist, and I can't think of a any other one with a direct punishment

[vital ruin]

DPS check I c

[gilded crypt]

do you need to have aug relic and same class equipped to get bitter memory from dungeons?

[slate arrow]

No, only the quest has to be active

[gilded crypt]

thanks

[leaden ginkgo]

i just unlocked the crystarium gathering stuff

so what exactly do i deliver to them ?

[slate arrow]

It's listed in their crystarium deliveries Ui. The receipes are also under Special Recipes if you're looking at your crafting log.

Basically you just gather or craft specific items to deliver for a lump sum of EXP and scrips

[obsidian patio]

the gatherer items are basically with the rest of the normal gathering stuff in the log

[leaden ginkgo]

so he takes the collectibles in SHB areas

[slate arrow]

Crystarium Deliveries are just normal drops

Recommended you turn it in HQ but if you're lazy NQ is fine as well

[obsidian patio]

just know that the crystarium deliveries are a one-time deal for each facet.

once you complete them you can't do them again

[leaden ginkgo]

i see

ty

Im starting to see a strong pattern, do scholars have trouble healing tanks compared to ast or whm ? Everytime I tank with a scholar its like im 300hp from death every encounter compared to other healers

Im sure its not just inexperience of the scholars healing me

[obsidian patio]

depending on level, scholars can have a lot less tools for healing.

[leaden ginkgo]

Im currently around level 52. So between 50-52 i can see the scholars are barely able to keep up or something

[slate arrow]

Scholar's HP heals are 90% of the time directly tied to aetherflow

If you're out of aetherflow, you only really have physick

[stable hinge]

what's the difference between Hist.% and Parse%

[jolly sorrel]

Also note that a healers job is to keep the party alive and do as much damage as possible. I don't know if its a SCH particular quirk, but 300 hp is still alive, so well within parameters.

[slate arrow]

Shields do count as a form of healing, but for raw HP it's not as good, since you can overwrite shields

[jolly sorrel]

As a tank you'd better get used to constant heart attacks 🙂 gotta put that trust in your healer.

[leaden ginkgo]

@jolly sorrel yes but its making me feel like im the bad tank because i know im not over pulling. Its wayy to close and. Most times i die. Hell i pull like 3 mobs and im near death and its like 👀 wtf is going on

Then i have to spam all my cooldowns or i will die

[slate arrow]

Tank might be undergeared.

[jolly sorrel]

If you die, either you're not using your cooldowns correctly or you have a bad healer.

[glossy flare]

50-60 are kinda rough on scholar too

no emergency tactics or excog

[slate arrow]

Also, Heavensward is just kinda harsh for both tanks and healers since the stat curve was much more extreme

[leaden ginkgo]

Im definitely not undergeared because I've only felt like this when playing with scholars. Ast or whm has been fine in the exact same dungeons

[jolly sorrel]

You should already have had your cooldowns used 🙂

Just as your normal rotation

[glossy flare]

using all your mitigation cooldowns at once is not a good idea btw

they are not additive

[leaden ginkgo]

@jolly sorrel i mean ALL of them like every single one at the same time for what should be a basic pull of 3-5 mobs

If not its death

Which shouldn't happen

[obsidian patio]

this image kinda explains how historical works

[slate arrow]

Unfortunately without watching gameplay we really can't tell you what's going wrong.

[jolly sorrel]

If you have proper gear, are pulling only 3-5 mobs, and you are using cooldowns normally, then it must be your healer.

[glossy flare]

Well maybe they were undergeared too. Point is, sch can have it rough from time to time but ultimately they are just as fine as any other healer

[slate arrow]

It just sounds like someone might be undergeared

[leaden ginkgo]

Aii, thanks guys

[stable hinge]

Thanks!

[jolly sorrel]

If it "keeps happening", I'd look at the common factor though. Bad healers exist, you may just have had a stroke of bad luck, but just sayin'

[leaden ginkgo]

Keeps happening WITH scholars

No one else lmao

[glossy flare]

That still may be a string of bad luck

[stable hinge]

for diamong my historical for one of my runs is 100 but when I click on it the parse % is only 65 so I was wondering what the difference is

[glossy flare]

Because again, scholars are fine

It's not a bad job whatsoever

[slate arrow]

Scholar is also really hard to play well

Since iirc aetherflow for scholar is locked behind a level 45 job quest, possibly? I'm not sure.

[leaden ginkgo]

Maybe i should pick up scholar

[glossy flare]

Lustrate is, not aetherflow

Same thing though, can't heal with aetherflow without the job quest

[slate arrow]

yeah that would do it

Lustrate is basically Scholar's cure2

Or well, Lily in this case

[glossy flare]

Sure, it's fun tbh

[slate arrow]

If they're a summoner, it's likely they did none of the scholar job quests

[glossy flare]

Yeah, you see that a lot sadly

[slate arrow]

Possibly just a SMN dps looking for a quick queue

I did, there's no collectables being listed in any of them.

[cobalt pagoda]

is the Duty Status broken or something? it doesn’t show truly how many players I need, some times it will pop and I clearly saw that I was the only one

[warped nest]

The game is trying out various combinations to get people into content asap

So you aren't actually fixed into a specific group and wait for one specify slot to be filled

[obsidian patio]

if you mean for the custom delivery people, click on "Custom Deliveries"

[warped nest]

Thanks Wynne

[obsidian patio]

If you mean the rarefied collectables those are a completely static list that doesn't change, so it's not on the timer menu

[warped nest]

Continue: duty finder
And sometimes you are the one who filled the last spot.

[cobalt pagoda]

I see

[restive talon]

Yeah, I didn't mean Custom Deliveries, @obsidian patio those are clearly visible, but yeah, those rarified collectibles is what I meant.

Odd, I recall in the past there was a timer to the collectables before they became Rare-fied and I guess the timers got removed now?

[obsidian patio]

yep, they used to be on a rotation of sorts and would sometimes be on bonus

[restive talon]

Yep, that's what I recall

[warped nest]

They are simplified now

[restive talon]

So if it's just static now, nice.

Saves me having to constantly check up on things

[warped nest]

Collectibles are very mistake-proof now

You cannot craft a collectible as a normal item anymore by mistake

[warm snow]

I mean, people probably still havw

But it's harder to make the mistake now

Is there anyway to sing up freetrial eu from south asia country?

[void venture]

hi im new

when do i get to play dungeons

i feel lonely

[glossy flare]

Continue with your main story quests

the first dungeon will be at the level 15 quest

[vital ruin]

Bruh how the fuck do I even get nuts
When I went for an S mark the monster doesn't even load cos of so many people
I just fucking died while waiting for it to load

Is there other methods to getting nuts

[honest anvil]

? you go on a hunt spree

people will shout location of next mark

go there quickly

Bring burst-y jobs like mch to make your dmg count if there are many people

they are replaced by crystaline mean quest

(Or however you spell that)

but no separate quest for each job

[maiden venture]

Hi i'm looking for recommendations for classes. I played up to 60 as NIN but then stopped playing and now came back to the game and noticed they moved mudras to the GCD. Is/are there any other classes which make frequent use of the OGCD, cause I really enjoyed that aspect of ninja which they unfortunately killed.

[shrewd owl]

how were ogcd mudra different anyway

[proud willow]

they forced you to clip, because you can't fit them all in the weave window

which actually made Fuma useful in some situations

[maiden venture]

I don't know the high level ninja stuff, but for me, I enjoyed doing stuff between the GCD attacks. So I wasn't mindlessly waiting for the GCD to finish.

[honest anvil]

all jobs have ogcd to weave in between gcd at 80 afaik

all jobs, all roles

[maiden venture]

But some more than others no?

[proud willow]

even NIN still does, just not its Ninjutsu

[agile laurel]

nin was problematic because it wasn't possible to weave all mudras, and was nigh impossible to play at questionable ping

[gritty oracle]

Bard does a lot of weaving with songs and different arrows, dragoon also has jumps and blood stuff. Those are the most OGCD heavy classes I can think of right now.

[vital ruin]

Damage isn't an issue
I can't see the mark cos the mark doesn't even load for me while others were doing their damages

@honest anvil

[honest anvil]

Eh, if you tally up all ocgds, then one will definitely have more but in numbers only; like, mch for example has very few skills at 80 but they weave like mad ...

[maiden venture]

I see.

Ehh, which classes are then considered the most technical?

[gritty oracle]

Wym by technical

[honest anvil]

so mad that it’s the only few jobs that have minimum ping to be played well

[maiden venture]

Difficult/Highest skill ceiling/hard to master?

[gritty oracle]

yeah when I was playing on NA, I literally couldn't play MCH or BRD, and my DRG performance was questionable

[vital ruin]

Good ol Summoner

[shrewd owl]

Summoner is a good example I think

[gritty oracle]

Bard is pretty intense, you gotta keep track of a bunch of different things. SMN is also crazy hard to optimize for weaves.

[shrewd owl]

It’s less hard though and more “holy shit this rotation takes forever”

[gritty oracle]

BLM is also hard to master, but it's not really about weaves so idk if you'd like it

[vital ruin]

Try doing your rotations without looking at the hotbar and focusing on mechanics

[maiden venture]

BLM is difficult in resource management then?

[shrewd owl]

Well they dump their mana in their fire phase then switch to ice to regen it fast

I’ve never tried black mage so i dont know too much about it tho

[honest anvil]

blm has 2 things to master: dps kit and movement kit

[shrewd owl]

Yeah you really have to know the fight prior to know where to stand and maximise damage

[gritty oracle]

BLM's difficulty in greeding as much "standing still time" as possible while still doing mechanics

[honest anvil]

Pro blm plans their movement for every single cast they do even ...

[gritty oracle]

also different question but
have they said where the nier weeklies are going? Is it going to unlock vendors or unique loot?

[obsidian patio]

Looks like just story fluff looking at the quests in Garland tools

And cleaning up Komra

[heavy wadi]

well I mean, it is a blue quest isn't it, we'll get something eventually? maybe?

[forest lark]

Is law order gear good for my alt classes that I cant currently get full eden or rev set

[glossy flare]

Sure it's okay, it's 510 just like baseline exarchic

[faint flare]

Eden is free farmable now so

[rose oak]

any dungeon recommendation for the 6 memories

[glossy flare]

antitower is fastest

[heavy wadi]

antitower

[rose oak]

is it true you can get all 6 in a day

[heavy wadi]

yeup

[glossy flare]

If you get good queues sure

[heavy wadi]

antitower takes maybe like, 10 mins per run?

[rose oak]

[glossy flare]

just queue as a healer and you'll be done in no time

[rose oak]

im leveling my drk

[glossy flare]

well tank works too

[gritty oracle]

Are fetes at the same time in every world?

[glossy flare]

I would assume so since the cycle started at the same time for all worlds

[faint flare]

Not that you can go to other worlds firmaments

[leaden ginkgo]

How many totems does the diamond weapon mount cost

[faint flare]

99

Like usual

When its added later

[vast valley]

I've just reached level 80 and finished the MSQ plus patch quests. I'm looking at levelling a different class but I was wondering what the best way to manage gear during especially 1-60 as itll fly by with all the exp buffs? is there a system similar to warcraft with heirloom thats scale to your level or is there a recommend bunch of sets to hold onto?

[faint flare]

Hold onto old gear

Toss it when every job od that role is levelled

[wintry chasm]

You'd want to keep poetic sets since they are definitely useful otherwise if you're dungeon spamming that usually kits you out where the poetic gear doesn't and if you aren't dungeon spamming you're going to be using methods where gear doesn't even matter like Palace of the Dead

[glossy flare]

When you level via dungeons you basically just get by with using whatever drops from them

And spending poetics on all the level cap gear

Ironworks, Shire, Scaevan

Below lvl 50 gear hardly matters for most things btw

[void venture]

how to know where the first dungeon is
will the story quest bring me there?
or i have to go there myself?

[glossy flare]

You will need to do it for a story quest

Plus you don't need to physically go to the entrance of any dungeon, you just queue for it via the duty finder. Which will then port you there once a group was found

[junior condor]

short key for duty finder(I guess it dungeon? I'm new too) is U on PC

[void venture]

if i buy shadowbringer

i need to pay 50$ per month?

[glossy flare]

No

[void venture]

or i buy the expanstion once

[glossy flare]

The 50 bucks are just once to buy the expansion

The monthly subscription cost is less than that

Level 1 to 70 in five days (Stormblood)

[glossy flare]

There you go

[vast valley]

wonderful, thank you

[glossy flare]

Just add Bozja for lvls 71-80 to that post

Otherwise the same principles apply

[vast valley]

👍

[rose oak]

i mean u need bozja either way

since u need res levels

[glossy flare]

It's entirely optional content though

[rose oak]

but that 24 man raid

has a doggo mount

[glossy flare]

Which is a good point but still 😄

[rose oak]

lol

[glossy flare]

No actual need to do Bozja. Even if I would strongly suggest unlocking at interacting with it

[rose oak]

so u unlock everything at lvl 10?

in that place

[glossy flare]

You mean the resistance rank?

[rose oak]

yes

[glossy flare]

Not everything. DR savage requires rank 15 (which is also the only way to get said doggo mount)

[rose oak]

omg really 15

[glossy flare]

And 11-15 all unlock new fragments you can get appraised

So new lost actions you can get

Also 5.55 will raise the max rank to 25

[rose oak]

im lvl 8 and it has been a struggle since theres nobody in thaat place

[glossy flare]

And personally I'd say it's very likely that we need to level some more to unlock whatever is next for Bozja

Try a new instance then. Just leave and rejoin. May also be due to playing at off hours

Often half the instance is doing CLL or just finished CLL and is therefore leaving the instance

[rose oak]

how i switch instance

[glossy flare]

Just leave and go back in again

There's a chance you just get into the same instance again ofc

[upper cove]

Realistically, how long would it take a free trial player to get zodiac zeta and anima lux? edit; relic weapons

[leaden ginkgo]

50 for 1 month sub!?

[upper cove]

The guides I've seen all suggest being and lvl.80 to solo dungeons unsynced

[leaden ginkgo]

full time? maybe a week

if u use online guides...

[upper cove]

One week honestly doesn't sound too bad

Just worried ill be gated by poetics, gc seals and gil

[pulsar escarp]

don't you need 50$ for the base game and the month sub is like, 12 dollars

[upper cove]

As of now I'm gated by battle dance 3 materia

Hello, guys! What is the Trance Gauge I see in the HUD? D:

[pulsar escarp]

I don't know too much either though, I'm converting in my head, bought it in pounds

[glossy flare]

For Summoner I assume?

[pulsar escarp]

congratulations on becoming a level 60 smn!

[latent zephyr]

I am lv 51 yet, didn't get the new gauge 😛

[pulsar escarp]

oh close enough

[latent zephyr]

Yeah I'm SMN

[pulsar escarp]

did it not come with a tooltip?

when it first introduced?

[glossy flare]

Then you don't need to worry about the trance for now

Dreadwyrm trance is lvl 58

[latent zephyr]

I just have the normal gauge yet

[pulsar escarp]

then yeah don't worry, it'll explain later

[latent zephyr]

Ah nice

[pulsar escarp]

the normal gauge is just the aetherflow one for fester

I think, right

[glossy flare]

But when you get it the gauge will show you the remaining duration of your dreadwyrm trance

[latent zephyr]

Yeah yeah

Ok, thank you guys ❤️ Awesome community as always

I think I'll buy the game 😄

[glossy flare]

Later it will also show any dreadwyrm aether you have or how long Bahamut/Phoenix will stay

But yeah... later

[pulsar escarp]

buying the game's fun, go at it!

[latent zephyr]

What level you say? From lv 58?

[glossy flare]

58 unlocks the first functionality for it, yes

[latent zephyr]

I'm close to it... It's "only" 7 levels

[glossy flare]

Via a skill called Dreadwyrm Trance

[latent zephyr]

Btw ARR MSQ were a bit of pain lol.

[glossy flare]

Eh... maybe not quite so close

[latent zephyr]

The Gaius raid too...

[glossy flare]

All the lvl 50-60 skills are gained via job quest completion

[latent zephyr]

Ew

[glossy flare]

And to do those you need to be in Heavensward

[pulsar escarp]

other expansions are better than arr, trust me haha

[latent zephyr]

Nice 😛

[glossy flare]

Yeah, only the lvl 70 skill requires job quests after that

71-80 doesn't require any quests anymore

[pulsar escarp]

do you think they'll start it again from 80-90 in endwalker? I sorta miss the job quest stories

[glossy flare]

But the lvl 70 quests lets you summon a big ass dragon so you better do it

[pulsar escarp]

like they were still there but I wish skills still needed em

[glossy flare]

EW will have role quests, that's already been confirmed

In fact it will have one more role storyline than ShB

[pulsar escarp]

oh so role quests again

I won't complain too much

shb's roles were fun

[glossy flare]

I liked job quests better but eh, it's okay

[latent zephyr]

Yay

But unfortunately I'm already having a class/job issue

Idk if I'll continue the SMN 😛

[pulsar escarp]

That's totally fine

I played smn to 60 then switched to astro, now I main drk and rdm

[latent zephyr]

lol

[pulsar escarp]

game likes you playing other classes

[latent zephyr]

It's a good thing you can switch classes on one character

You don't have to redo quests holy

[pulsar escarp]

it's basically the fundementals of xiv, you can play any class that you find fun

[latent zephyr]

I see it's still popular tho

I'll sure have fun 😛

Thank you for the chatting

Community is incredible in this game

[pulsar escarp]

[leaden ginkgo]

Hi What is fun or high dmg with only ranged+magic class? How do I lvl up for it? Like doing fate only? I only know fate for dps and healer dungeon...dont know for tank.

[pulsar escarp]

dungeons are the best way to level up for all classes, doing dailies is biggest exp, and then you can run the highest lvl dungeon you can to level up (as long as it's not a 50/60/70 dungeon)

[wintry chasm]

Fates aren't really a thing you should be doing for leveling unless you're waiting on queue times

And Idris is right ONLY IF your queue times are short

[pulsar escarp]

^^^^

so if you're tank or healer, it's the best way

[wintry chasm]

For DPS that usually isn't the case so highest level leveling dungeon spam isn't usually the best for them

[pulsar escarp]

if you're dps, there's other ways

[shut panther]

idk why they don't just boost fate exp

[wintry chasm]

I'd see this for more details

[pulsar escarp]

^^^

what do you normally do for 70+ classes? same policy? or like, heaven on high

or smth like bozja

[glossy flare]

Bozja

Though it starts at lvl 71

[pulsar escarp]

.......

damn

[glossy flare]

Which results in a weird blind spot I guess but that's okay-ish

[pulsar escarp]

I have to unlock it

I've just been doing dailies with my rdm

[twilit arch]

70+ is largely the same idea, just add trusts or bozja to it basically

[wintry chasm]

As for what class to pick...BLM is definitely your "big numbers big effects" mage job, dancer is a lot of buffy support with lots of procs, bard is just a lot of procs, and machinist has a phase where you just mash buttons. Summoner and Red Mage I'm not sure how to describe.

[agile laurel]

summoner is what passes for a pet class, with a quite high apm made up by off global actions

Red mage has a main gimmick

[viral ravine]

What to do/buy with tomestones of Allegory ? I don't need 490 gear now and idk what to buy

[agile laurel]

!trait dualcast

[zinc orbit]

**Dualcast** : lvl 1 RDM

Grants the effect of Dualcast upon casting any spell with a cast time. While under the effect of Dualcast, your next spell will require no time to cast. Effect is canceled upon execution of any action other than an ability. Auto-attacks do not cancel effect.

Powered by XIVAPI

[glossy flare]

Red Mage is about balancing black and white magic spells with a melee burst combo every now and then.

Summoner is a pet dps with some dot management

[agile laurel]

summoner AFAIK has the highest apm and certainly action count of the casters

[twilit arch]

buy crafting materials to sell on the marketboard. the ones that cost 20 allegory per are worth selling, spirit extract is a decent choice if youre not willing to price check em all @viral ravine

[viral ravine]

thanks

[pulsar escarp]

summoner's have pretty massive damage as well, but more mobility than black mage which does more damage than it if they stay still and cast enough

issue with summoner is if you die at any point, it's a hassle getting your damage back up

but I guess it's the same for all classes

[agile laurel]

plus since summoner's rotation varies as it goes, dying and getting hard reset is extremely annoying

[viral ravine]

is black mage the highest dps ?

[agile laurel]

the most so of all the casters

In a vacuum, yes
