#

yeah, but only if you know the fight as well

#

how long can you stay still and cast - the game

twilit arch
glossy flare
#

I mean blm definitely is the turret mage but you also have more movement tools

pulsar escarp
#

that's true

glossy flare
#

It's a bit of a meme

pulsar escarp
#

it doesn't matter too much

glossy flare
#

Oh it does matter

heavy wadi
#

Dumb question as I'm a bit confused, but can you get gear tokens from E12 more than once a week? It's just the blades that are weekly, right?

agile laurel
#

Yes

pulsar escarp
#

but 'optimising it' which people like to say is like ehhh

glossy flare
#

It's just not as bad as people usually make it out to be

twilit arch
#

blades are the only ones that are weekly, ye

heavy wadi
#

ah cool cool, thanks!

pulsar escarp
#

does BLM have any team buffs or is it a bit more like samurai which is pure personal damage? I only play sam out of the two

faint flare
#

Pure damage

glossy flare
#

It's the caster version of sam basically

#

selfish dps

pulsar escarp
#

ah yeah

viral ravine
#

what's the rotation of blm ?

faint flare

onyx anchor
#

Can you buy Katanas?

viral ravine
#

thanks

pulsar escarp
#

MP management

glossy flare
pulsar escarp
#

partially

agile laurel
#

@onyx anchor yes, same place as anything else

faint flare
#

No katanas under 50

agile laurel
#

Well, not in ARR or probably HW zones, in hindsight. Unsure on that.

glossy flare
#

Yeah since sam starts at 50 there is no sub 50 katana

agile laurel
#

oh wait yeah there would be some to buy in HW areas

#

retrospective

glossy flare
#

Actually there is a lvl 1 Katana

#

Not that it matters

pulsar escarp
#

oh yeah, glam

#

lol

onyx anchor
#

I just found that

#

Huh

#

A level 1 Katana

viral ravine
#

blm 72+ just adds despair at the end then, and at 80 xeno at the end ?

glossy flare
#

it's just for glam

agile laurel
#

Broadly

glossy flare
#

Or rather replace Foul with Xeno

#

not adding it

agile laurel
#

Keep in mind the trait at level 72 that invalidates transpose

glossy flare
#

Well not invalidate, it still has its uses

agile laurel
#

There's no 2h katanas

viral ravine
#

"foul whenever" changes to "xeno whenever" then ? ok lol

faint flare
#

Yep

onyx anchor
#

Ooh, there's Katanas with effects

faint flare
#

Cause xeno is single target foul

#

That's instant

agile laurel
#

Xeno can be used for weaving or moving or within raid buffs basically

mental oracle
#

Is "A" the highest number in the triad card game?

glossy flare
#

Yeah, Xeno is actually more versatile that way

#

You still use Foul in aoe obviously

#

Actually you start using it at 2+ targets

agile laurel
#

It's good practice to try to use some under raid buffs, because while they're good tools for weaving and moving they're still 800 pot

glossy flare
#

Even though blm doesnt go into actual aoe until 4+ targets

#

Foul's just big dps

agile laurel
#

egh. Close enough

viral ravine
#

so should still use it asap

faint flare
#

No

#

You can.store 2 xenos

#

At 80

viral ravine
#

so at least one time in the beginning

faint flare
#

While still ticking the timer for a 3rd

agile laurel
#

you won't have xenoglossy after your very first despair

glossy flare
#

You usually spend your polyglots during your ice phase, that's where things line up

agile laurel
#

you'll still have a couple of seconds ticking

glossy flare
#

Point is that there is not much harm in holding onto them for mechanics

#

If you have to move for example, instants are handy

leaden ginkgo
#

I played SAM which just got lvl 80 with doing main quess like 4+ version main quest around like lvl 74 quests...So I was thinking to make next dps to get around 75 and to do more main quest. so I guess BLM.

#

btw I was playing WHM as healer which seem easy for me...so I wonder what tank class should I play.

glossy flare
#

Any of them 😅

wintry chasm
#

Dark Knight definitely has the best job story but aesthetically I prefer Paladin but gameplay I prefer Gunbreaker

glossy flare
#

They are all fun, though if you wanna learn things from the ground up it might be worthwhile to start with Paladin or Warrior

#

Since both start at lvl 1

agile laurel
#

speaking from experience I can say that paladin will definitely feel busier than war

gritty oracle
#

PLD has a strict-ish rotation, while afaik war is like whatever until you hit the big dick fell cleave window

How to sign up free trial UK[EU] from other country is it wrong to do, my country are not in list, today my little sister want join we spend whole try to sign up and now we wait for next 24 hours because error code i2501

#

I don't rememeber how did I survived😂

tribal lily
#

Hello, I was just curious if there was a massive difference between the primal/aether data centers?

pulsar escarp
#

if your account isn't uk based then from what i remember you're pretty screwed

#

it's fine if you're a different region's server if your account is where you actually are though

junior condor
#

There is no thailand in list and I don't know which to sign up
but thank you!~ for answering now I got clearer picture of what to do

pulsar escarp
#

ping only matters if you do savage content and even then as certain jobs

#

from what I remember thailand - i mean a map comes up when choosing your server so the closest to what you can get, I guess. I know australians go on tonberry, which is sort of japanese, for example, because they don't have a dedicated server.

#

(well, data centre)

tribal lily
#

@twilit arch thanks

weak ember
#

Quick Q — is there an estimated date for 5.55? They said end of May, right?

viral ravine
#

So if I understood correctly, BLM plays like the pic (B3 B4 T3 F3 F4x3 F1 F4x3 Despair, foul(xeno at 80) as movement)
But what about the other actions ? Thunder 3 whenever there's a proc ? Triplecast on cd I guess ? Enochian/Sharpcast on CD ?

fallen axle
#

hello are the 8man trials longer to queue than normal? and is this currently a low volume time as well? 10:15AM EST seems a bit early....

halcyon sail
#

I'm getting someone into the game and I want to do all the Main quests, dungeons, etc with them right from the start. Should I start a new class or create a new character?

worthy summit
#

Guys how do you handle multiple raidwides as SCH?

worthy summit
#

Once indom is on CD everything else seems to have tiny potency

glossy flare
# viral ravine So if I understood correctly, BLM plays like the pic (B3 B4 T3 F3 F4x3 F1 F4x3 D...

You can keep T3 procs for movement as well, just make sure you don't waste them.

Use Sharpcast on cd, preferably for T3 procs. But it also works fine for an F1 proc so you get an instant F3 for movement.

Enochian you shouldn't be using at all after your opener if all goes well. Only use it again if you happen to drop it. But that has to be avoided at all cost. (Well... dying would be worse than dropping it I guess)

#

Triplecast (and swiftcast for that matter) should be used on cd, yes, but you can also delay them for a while for movement

viral ravine
#

Thanks, so Sharpcast on T3 or F1

glossy flare
#

T3 over F1 though

viral ravine
#

And Enochian only as the first action ?

glossy flare
#

Just sometimes you already have a T3 proc

#

So you might as well go with F1

viral ravine
#

k I see

glossy flare
#

There is no need to reapply Enochian if you can keep it running

#

It will stay on forever if you never drop Astral Fire or Umbral ice

@viral ravine recommend giving this whole thing a read if you really want to get into blm

viral ravine
#

thanks

fallen axle
#

so what ive seen online seems to say that once you hit higher levels(60+) and more strenuous mechanics, tank/healer become quite difficult and the margin for error is really small. how true is that statement?

wispy parcel
wispy parcel
#

but as long as you know how to play ur job u will be fine

glossy flare
#

And even then, unless it's an ultimate you can still make mistakes and pull through

pulsar escarp
glossy flare
#

Think of it like progressing through a single player game. Things get harder but you also get better

jade quartz
pulsar escarp
#

also, if you're tank: remember your margin for personal error is bigger than other people - because your hp pool is bigger, lmao

jade quartz
#

There’s not a sudden difficulty jump.

fallen axle
#

fair points

pulsar escarp
#

I think the biggest difficulty jump you might see is from ARR normal to keeper of the lake dungeon

#

where you actually have to think and do things

#

but that's it

fallen axle
#

hmm cause when i make a tank Im torn between starting it now (in trial) and giving warrior a shot and purchasing the expansions and going for Gunbreak/Dark Knight

#

but i kind of want to try and hold off til Endwalker so I can get them all at once

pulsar escarp
#

I started dark knight in free trial and I've mained it till now

fallen axle
#

???

pulsar escarp
#

start what you can in trial, I say

fallen axle
#

i thought i needed expansions to do Dark knight?

wispy parcel
#

Free Trial comes with Heavensward

fallen axle
#

or is it just a level requirement?

glossy flare
#

No, Heavensward is part of the free trial

pulsar escarp
#

heavensward is included in the final fantasy xiv free trial

glossy flare
#

So all of the heavensward jobs are part of it

pulsar escarp
#

this is a meme

#

you need to actually get to the heavensward expansionn though

#

so just keep doing your msq

glossy flare
#

However the heavensward jobs all have a lvl 50 lvl requirement and the starting quests are physically located in a Heavensward area

pulsar escarp
#

because the job quest is in that area

fallen axle
#

im an idiot, because the dark knight is all over the Shadowbringer (i think) i was assuming it was from that

wispy parcel
#

its why u cant buy Heavensward any more

pulsar escarp
#

oh yeah hahaha

glossy flare
#

Nope, been around since Heavensward

#

just the posterboy job for Shadowbringers

pulsar escarp
#

the expansions jobs are like, whatever works thematically

fallen axle
#

yeah i think im close to finishing ARR MSQ actually

pulsar escarp
#

e.g pld and endwalker

#

where you at rn?

fallen axle
#

the current MSQ are lv49 and i just did Cape Westwind

wispy parcel
#

You'll note the posterboy job of every expansion thus far except Samurai has been a previously existing job

thorn oak
#

silly question how do you unlock drk? u need to finish heavensward msq?

pulsar escarp
#

oh uh

#

you got quite a bit to go

#

every expansion has two parts

fallen axle
#

oh

wispy parcel
#

thats it

glossy flare
#

until you can access Ishgard

fallen axle
#

oh well not a problem im enjoying this game immensely

#

first MMO ive actually enjoyed

pulsar escarp
#

ARR end is quite nice though yeah

#

that's good to hear! it's more fun as well when you're not limited by free trial

wispy parcel
#

Post-ARR is where the story picks up

#

a lot

pulsar escarp
#

super fun

fallen axle
#

Yeah i imagine being not restricted is better

#

but I also want to get as much out of the trial as I can

pulsar escarp
#

I only bought it after I capped HW though

mental oracle
#

Is the marketplace big server wide(chaos) or just small server (spriggan etc.)

wispy parcel
#

Heavensward added: Dark Knight/Machinist/Astrologian
Stormblood: Samurai/Red Mage
ShadowBringers: Gunbreaker/Dancer

glossy flare
mental oracle
#

oh ok

fallen axle
#

and the only real limitations I see are not being able to start my own party, can't use market board (which sucks but im not doing craft/gather yet), and can't join a guild(only thing im upset about)

pulsar escarp
#

but yeah making most of free trial is good, I had like 8 days in game logged when I actually bought the game

fallen axle
#

well

pulsar escarp
#

I mainly wanted expansion locked jobs

fallen axle
#

in the past 3 days

#

ive easily put like 20+ hours......

pulsar escarp
#

yeah fair enough

fallen axle
#

how can i check time logged on console?

pulsar escarp
#

./playtime

#

in chat

#

might be depressing to look at lol

fallen axle
#

1 day, 7 hours lmao

#

started this like wednesday or something

#

or Thursday

wispy parcel
#

I've been playing this game for 7years now

#

2762 hours clocked

fallen axle
#

nice

#

its great youve managed to enjoy it for so long!

pulsar escarp
#

it's got a lot to offer

#

but yeah, I bought the game because I wanted to continue story (you've probably heard of how good the later expansions are) and other jobs

wispy parcel
#

If you enjoy Final Fantasy narratives in any regard

#

this game will keep u hooked for a long time

fallen axle
#

ive played every FF game except for FF2, FF8, and FF13

#

tried FF2 and FF13 and wasn't fond of the battle mechanics

#

so yeah FF story is always important to me

pulsar escarp
#

oh then yeah you'll like xiv

#

I hear there's a bit referring to 8??? but I forgot

#

just assume everything gets a nod

glossy flare
#

I mean... we have Gunbreakers

#

So Squall I guess

latent zephyr
#

Idk if to do the A Relic Reborn quest... What do you think, guys? D:

glossy flare
#

And there are other nods here or there, but mostly to other FF games

pulsar escarp
#

uhh, sure, no harm in it

glossy flare
pastel sparrow
#

how do i know if ive collected a reward from the normal eden 9 - 12 raids?

glossy flare
#

There is no functional benefit to it anymore

#

And it is a huge grind

jade quartz
#

The level 80 Eden raids allude a great deal to FF8

pulsar escarp
#

that's the one

glossy flare
#

Right, goes to show what I know of ff8 <.<

pulsar escarp
#

I mean I've only played 7 and XII and XV

jade quartz
gusty siren
#

so relic weapons get outperformed by other weapons?

pulsar escarp
#

relics are mostly glam, except for the current ones I think

pastel sparrow
#

oo.. i swear i got mine but..

glossy flare
#

Each expansions has its own relic

pulsar escarp
#

but they'll also be reduced to glamouor by next expansion

glossy flare
#

And there always is a period of time where the relic actually is the best weapon you can have.

pulsar escarp
#

^^^^

glossy flare
#

But once a new expansion hits... poof, gone is that

pulsar escarp
#

there's still point in doing some though, if you have fun with it for example

#

and others just look good

gusty siren
#

well yeah i have the sphairai zenith im probly gonna upgrade that one

#

im actually dumb i grinded 12 lion atmas instead of 1 of each

fallen axle
#

so im reading up on Castrum dungeon so Im not clueless when I go in

#

it mentions grinding the dungeon for the 100 tomes? is that a guarantee every time i complete it?

#

and how many is needed to get the full set of lv60 gear?

faint flare
#

Yes but its not worth the time investment

#

Castrum and praetorium takes 45mins+

gusty siren
#

you get a roulette with castrum and praetorium that gives you 200 daily

#

but both dingeons are cutscene simulators basically

#

they made cutscenes unskippable for the "story" lol

latent zephyr
pulsar escarp
#

I was thinking the same thing pal, I thought 'woah that's a lot of tomes', did it once for msq, realised it was not worth it

#

at all

jade quartz
#

You do not need to read up in dungeons before you go in, ever

pulsar escarp
#

You don't need to, but I did when I first started tanking to curb my anxiety, and I'm fine now

gusty siren
#

are u kidding

fallen axle
jade quartz
#

Castrum Meridianum is a faceroll, you’ll barely even see any mechanics

fallen axle
#

okay cool

gusty siren
#

for castrum sure

fallen axle
#

this is random but i keep getting level gated weapon coffers, should i save them for my alt leveling so it doesnt lag in gear?

#

or are weapons cheap/easy to obtain?

faint flare
#

Coffers aren't level gated

lone canyon
#

I usually buy gears from market board, not sure what others do

faint flare
#

Unless you're on the wrong job

lone canyon
pulsar escarp
#

aren't they? you can use them, but you can't wear the clothes

#

if you're not the right class/ level

fallen axle
#

the way its worded tells me if i save it for an ALT itll convert to their weapon

pulsar escarp
#

oh it will

#

yeah, so you can open it as whatever class at any level (I think), it'll just be a lvl 49 weapon

fallen axle
#

do you get a lv50 weapon for completing the base game MSQ?

pulsar escarp
#

no clue! it's been too long

fallen axle
#

ok ill just open this for my main

pulsar escarp
#

but I'm pretty sure it equips you, armor and all

#

I mean either way it's good to be up to date

wintry chasm
fallen axle
#

cool and how would i start working on ironworks? or is it strictly post-MSQ

pulsar escarp
#

oh it's just tomestones, those little red and blue things

faint flare
#

After castrum and praetorium

pulsar escarp
#

you collect them eventually

faint flare
#

You can buy them

pulsar escarp
#

yeah so you start getting them in castrum and prae and it just goes on from there

fallen axle
#

i thought castrum/prae wasnt worht grinding?

wintry chasm
#

It's not, that's just when the game starts handing them out

fallen axle
#

ohhh

faint flare
#

And its story required

wintry chasm
#

That being said the MSQ roulette which has those two as options is very good for exp and stuff and is worth doing

torn owl
#

Is cryptlurker better than augmented exarchic? I see more people use cryptlurker than augmented exa

faint flare
#

When upgraded

#

Yes

torn owl
#

What do you mean by upgraded?

wispy parcel
#

You can upgrade tome gear with coins from the alliance raids

faint flare
#

Or sacks of nuts

#

Or savage drops

latent zephyr
#

Is there a material bank or something?

torn owl
#

make them augmented right?

faint flare
#

Yes

latent zephyr
#

I have too many materials to deposit xD

wet cradle
#

will the pvp event where we could have 3 mounts of a japan series back?

faint flare
#

Retainers are banks

wet cradle
#

I'm talking about the raigo etc. mounts

faint flare
#

Extreme doubt Garo will ever return

latent zephyr
#

Oh... I'm Free Trial, I think I can't hire a Retainer

faint flare
#

It was around for 3 years

wet cradle
cobalt pagoda
#

Btw, will changing the name ingame change the loadstone id?

faint flare
#

Yes

wet cradle
#

I just remember it was for a few weeks

faint flare
#

It was a running jooe

#

That it was a "limited" event

wet cradle
#

huh

faint flare
#

But it lasted 3 years

#

People forgot it even existed

wet cradle
#

how many mounts where available for purchase?

faint flare
#

Until it was going

fallen axle
#

so i see ironworks armor but they also have weapons. is it worth doing that or the relic quest that opens at 50? hmm so many options lol

cobalt pagoda
#

hey if I change my in game name will the loadstone id still remain the same?

faint flare
#

Relics are purely glamour

#

They're not worth for functional weapons

#

They're a GRIND to get

wispy parcel
#

Current relics are great if you dont wanna grind savage

cobalt pagoda
#

so if I wanna start fresh without any one knowing who I was I will have to make a new account?

wispy parcel
#

old ones are just for looks

fiery ginkgo
#

New player here. What materia should I be looking into to put into Summoner tomes?

#

(lv 54 fresh out of f2p)

faint flare
#

None at your level

#

But crit > dh > det at cap

#

Materia is worthless until you hit cap

wispy parcel
#

when leveling you'll be going through a lot of gear

#

no real need for materia

fiery ginkgo
#

i figured. I held off on even sticking materia into my gear but I was wondering if there was anything to look out for as I extract materia. So crit > straight damage output generally?

warped nest
#

Combat materia add substat

#

Or secondary stat

#

Which rarely, if ever, outperform increase in primary stats

jade quartz
#

Low level materia also will not be relevant at endgame so don’t worry about saving the stuff you extract for now

warped nest
#

Just sell to NPC or on Marketboard for gils

leaden ginkgo
#

POWTATOW!

fiery ginkgo
#

Stick the crit ones into my weapon, add towards inflation with the others. got it. Thanks

warped nest
#

I personally won't waste the time and effort to manage materia at your level

#

Even if it doesn't take much effort to do

#

But it is your choice

jade quartz
#

I wouldn’t bother even melding the crit ones yeah

fiery ginkgo
#

Free damage is free damage isnt it?

warped nest
#

It is very miniscule

faint flare
#

Its turned off when you sync

fiery ginkgo
#

Or is it so pathetically miniscule it wont matter?

faint flare
#

Which you're doing

#

Alot

fiery ginkgo
#

oh. the more you know.

warped nest
#

You are better off playing better

faint flare
#

While levelling

warped nest
#

Or getting better gear with higher primary stat

jade quartz
#

You probably won’t even reach a stat breakpoint

#

Which would mean literally zero effect

fiery ginkgo
#

got it. at what point is it worth extracting materia then for gear? I get its a long way from now

faint flare
#

Extracting creates materia

#

Its free money to sell on market

fiery ginkgo
#

if its useless people buy them?

warped nest
#

Extracting is producing materia from your 100 percent spirit bonded gears

faint flare
#

People buy low level materia for ARR relics

warped nest
#

Some of the lower level ones are used for ARR relic weapons

#

Btw, regarding melding and endgame, it applies to combat jobs

#

For crafter and gatherer, they can choose to meld at much lower level because their materia boost primary stats

#

So a melded crafter gear might save time as you can skip gear (albeit just by a little)

#

Plus having more primary stat helps them craft/gather better

fiery ginkgo
#

I'll look into my crafting/gathering gear to see if materia make a difference but like one of you said, "better to just put effort into leveling instead and with my stupid low levels Im going to cycle gear alot"

warped nest
#

For reference, crafter primary stats are Craftmanship, Control, and CP

#

Gatherer's are (I forgot), Perception, and GP

fiery ginkgo
#

I think its control but its been a long while since I trained gathering

warped nest
#

Control is crafter

faint flare
#

Gathering

strange coral
#

It's called gathering

warped nest
#

Lol, I had a massive brain fart

fiery ginkgo
#

And the only gathering skill I enjoy is fishing lol

anyway thanks for the help everyone.

latent zephyr
#

Is there a way to trigger Fates or are they automatic?

#

I need to do a Fate for a quest xD

faint flare
#

They spawn automatically over time

latent zephyr
#

Okay, thanks

faint flare
#

Only a set number of fates can be on the map at any time

manic needle
#

Anyway to adjust the npc chat box that appear on screen during battle?

median locust
#

The big one at the top? nope

glossy flare
#

Some fates trigger other fates upon completion though

median locust
#

Some do

manic needle
#

Ah shit, it's too big for my 55" screen when I set the UI size setting to 4k (300%)

warped nest
#

Sir, this is for question and help

#

Not for bragging your equipment size

fallen axle
#

Praetorium seems difficult, im glad im reading it but its making me wary

jade quartz
#

It’s not

strange coral
#

It's not at all

jade quartz
#

Stop reading

#

It’s a face roll to the extreme

#

You will see zero notable mechanics

fallen axle
#

Castrum was laughable, the cutscenes took more time than the fights

jade quartz
#

Praetorium will be exactly the same

vernal urchin
#

just follow the group and make sure to grab the identification key before going down the elevator

strange coral
#

Use the terminal. Only one person needs to grab the key for everyone

fallen axle
#

im excited cause then theres only 40-ish MSQ left til heavensward and then i can try out 2 classes that looked interesting

#

Machinist/Dark Knight both look cool

jade quartz
strange coral
#

I mean the key drops, one person picks it up, then everyone uses the terminal after

jade quartz
#

We’re talking about the authorisation key to use the magitek walker.

fallen axle
#

another question, sorry; I know i can save gear sets so I can seamlessly switch between jobs, but can i save hotbar too so that i dont have to constantly rebind everything?

jade quartz
#

Yes, your first three hotbars are job-specific by default

#

They are autosaved

#

You can customise which hotbars are saved per individual job, and which hotbars are shared for all jobs, by going to character config > hotbar settings > sharing

fallen axle
#

aweosme that makes life very easy

strange coral
#

(literally doing Prae right now lol)

jade quartz
#

Yes, every player needs to interact with it.

#

The door keys elsewhere in the dungeon are not related to the discussion.

strange coral
#

I was never talking about them

timber gull
#

I'm getting to the end of the HW MSQ. Does the HW story include a detour to do raid content before I move onto the next expansion like the crystal tower series?

median locust
#

Nope

unreal folio
#

Quick question: dancing plague EX unsync can still drop loot or nay?

median locust
#

yes

#

wait

#

you can't unsync it can you?

jade quartz
median locust
#

you can't unsync current expansion content usually

#

So unsyncing it is basically just running it normally

unreal folio

Ah ok. Been awhile since I’ve done it that’s y lol. Just wondering thanks

strange coral
fallen axle
#

doing Prae now and the duty finder as exceptionally kind to me today lol

#

very quick, can't wait to finish and start on to Heavensward, thanks again every for the advice

#

really appreciated

open ember
#

You still have post patch ARR

#

After Praetorium

jade quartz
#

Heavensward doesn’t come next, you have 80 post-ARR patch quests first

open ember
#

You are not done with ARR after Praetorium unfortunately

mental oracle
#

wait you can't put relic weapons inside glamour dresser?

strange coral
#

Some of them, no. You have to buy the replicas to put in the dresser

jade quartz
#

All relic weapons cannot be put in the dresser, only replicas

mental oracle
#

Does it have to be the same version? I have curtana atma and I bought curtana from the npc

west spruce
#

nope, only replica

mental oracle
#

so I need another curtana

jade quartz
#

Relics can have custom stats which the dresser isn’t set up to save the parameters of

mental oracle
#

ty

jade quartz
#

No you do not need another

#

You need a replica version

open ember
#

You should buy a replica version in Hyrstmill

jade quartz
#

You can buy replica versions (glam only, no stats) of ARR relics after completing them all the way to Zeta step.

west spruce
#

in your case you have to finish the whole relic quests to be able to buy replica

mental oracle
#

oh ok

wispy parcel
manic rune
remote lintel
#

the anima and shb relics have custom stats at one stage

jade quartz
#

Can’t find a source for you right now but it’s been mentioned in the past. The glamour dresser saves server load by not storing any extra info about items stored in it. Only NQ/HQ. It doesn’t store materia, repair level or spiritbond, and along those same lines it does not store custom stat attribution, so relic weapons are just ruled out as a category.

#

When first implemented it didn’t store NQ/HQ either, but they changed that after a patch when they made it possible to retrieve items from the dresser (which you couldn’t originally do)

manic rune
#

that makes sense, thanks

Interesting. That’s new for the ShB ones. In the past they’ve just ruled out relics as a category.

leaden ginkgo
#

just got back into the game, approaching the end of shb, my question is this: Are there job quest this expansion? Like for Ninja/Sam Etc? I have not seen any throughout the entire expansion.

glossy flare
#

No, only the role quests

#

If you haven't started any of them you will have to complete at least one questline before being able to finish the 5.0 story

jade quartz
#

No, they are replaced by role quests—which you need to do in order to progress to the final of the MSQ by the way

#

You will be locked out if you haven’t done them

glossy flare
#

I guess technically there are job quests though. Each job has one "final" job quest after you are done with 5.0

strange coral
#

There is a single level 80 job quest for each job, but it's not marked with a bluequest and is mostly just story. Not a requirement for anything currently.

leaden ginkgo
#

ah yea, i did that one questline with the hunter chick sin eater

jade quartz
#

There is also one job quest at level 80 for each job where you check back in with your job trainers. Just a little bit of story.

glossy flare
#

And a title for each

#

They are sidequest though, not bluequest

#

So easy to miss, might need to google where they start

Hello, new to FFXIV and wanted to know how to go about choosing a DC?

So no more of that type of quest? I always was a fan of them 😦

#

Me too buddy, but EW will also have role quests

Just how it is

They’re just server groups. Pick one for your geographical region.

Hey mates, one question. I'm playing the free trial and want to buy the full game. Is there anything obligatory or relevant that i need to do or unlock at lvl 60, or can i buy the game and proceed ?

torn bane

how do you get gelmorran potshards again? it's been a while

I tried 51-60 as mch with 83/67 last night and the boss just chewed me up so yeah, aim for 99/99

Bronze coffers drop potsherds

floral pier
#

@marsh spruce so, the previous content is not really relevant and i can roll a Gunbreaker and proceed ?

torn bane
#

i guess i'll just do some matched runs to get my aetherpool stuff up

marsh spruce
#

it is

marsh spruce
torn bane
#

you also need to get another class to level 60

floral pier
#

ya, i know

remote lintel
#

no theres nothing relevant to unlock at 60

torn bane
#

i also wouldn't recommend just going for gunbreaker without having played another tank

marsh spruce
#

yeah i would do a dps class first

floral pier
#

Oh, i'm playing Dark Knight

torn bane
#

oh ok

floral pier
#

i'm used to tanking

remote lintel
#

everything you can unlock in this game can be unlocked whenever

uneven tendon
#

What they mean to say is you can’t miss unlocking something

floral pier
#

ok mates, thanks for the answers \o

uneven tendon

There are of course things you will unlock as you progress through story/expansions, but nothing you can’t go back for any time

To level up DoH efficiently i guess i prefarm the materials from logs and craft each recipe? Then i spam one recipe i have excess ?
I wish to grind them ;-;

storm crow

is there an auction house in this game

faint flare
#

Market board

glossy flare
#

it's called market board

#

You'll find one in each major city

wintry chasm
#

Well yes and no? you want to buy some materials and make one of everything for the completion bonus xp for the first like, 20 levels or so and maybe some leves on top of stuff like GC turn ins or beast tribe quests and then when you can do Ishgard restoration that's a very good method of getting xp whilst also not needing to change materials all the time like leves.

The only time I'd really farm mats and quick synth a fuck ton of materials is during that awkward moment before level 20 when vendors stop selling materials you need or if you've been doing gathering and you just have a lot of raw materials so you can just quick synth and sell for more money @leaden ginkgo

leaden ginkgo
#

Guess i need to focus on my GC ,-,
Just finished ARR just now

wintry chasm
#

GC is VERY good

#

don't forget the Ixal beast tribe

#

is also good

#

When you say you have difficulty you just mean getting materials and not the crafting itself right?

leaden ginkgo
#

Material yeah

boreal storm
#

Get the gatherers leveled

leaden ginkgo
#

I feel stumped when x material pop up and i need to scour from 1-2 different sources

#

My gatherers except fishing are in 23s rn

#

what would you recommend farming the sb crystals for the relic?

wintry chasm
#

If you want to do crafting without restoration then just do leves, it's the next best thing

leaden ginkgo
#

Leves and gc. Aight

#

Thankie

wintry chasm

It's technically better than restoration but it's more annoying mat wise

I need to google that

I can still get byakko mane from desynth right?

Also as newcomer that finished ARR, just spam the level 130 gear from the tome thingy right? It should last me for a while right?

faint flare
#

It lasts until lv55 story

#

Do other lv50 dungeons for tomrs

leaden ginkgo
#

I see....and then for HW stuff (post 55)is there akin to that or i just equip whatever in HW that drop?

latent sluice
#

I have a question about character settings.
Battle effects specifically.
When you change "Others (Exclu. pvp)" to "show limited" or none, it turns off certain boss effects and such. Is there a way to change battle effects for players only, so that npcs and mobs are unaffected?

glossy flare
#

It shouldn't turn off vital boss effects

#

Like what are you not seeing that you should be seeing?

twilit arch
#

those options are only for player effects, not boss/mob effects

latent sluice
#

I wouldn't say "vital"
But I just want to turn off other players like alliance.
But for instance, when Ozma spins all the raid into itself, the effect has less animation

#

In prae, whenever it says "look to the light" the light doesn't flash

#

stuff such as that

glossy flare
#

Yeah but those options do exactly that

#

They only affect player effects

latent sluice
#

but those aren't player effects? Especially not in Ozma or such

glossy flare
#

What I'm saying is that if those effects are missing it is not due to these settings

latent sluice
#

they turn back on when it's "show all"

glossy flare
#

If that actually does happen (which I still doubt) then that is a bug

latent sluice
#

You can doubt, or you can check it out yourself
I recently reinstalled to make sure it wasn't a bug. still happens.

raven burrow
#

do i have to clear e11s to be able to enter e12s ?

twilit arch
#

yeah, unless you join a party that's able to enter e12s but you forfeit loot from e11s

raven burrow
#

but i can still join through a party even if i didnt clear it yet , yes ?

green grail

depend on the PF settings, the host can set it to duty complete

You need to be a mentor

tribal adder
#

I am a mentor

glossy flare
#

Combat mentor specifically

tribal adder
#

Trading one though

#

FUCK

latent sluice
#

well, seeing as no one believes me, do I take it to technical support, then? -_-

tribal adder
#

What is the point of being combat mentor though

glossy flare
#

There is no point

tribal adder
#

If all the mentors are toxic and cry about doing extremes

#

I don't understand it

twilit arch
#

i mean not all mentors are toxic and cry about it

#

there are plenty who do try and teach sprouts how to do the extremes

tribal adder
#

Every mentor who joins my extremes on DF they all cry and say "YOO IM HOST PARTY FINDER U ALL CAN GET FIRST CLEAR ON UNSYNC"

leaden ginkgo
#

What does this mean

glossy flare
#

You just unlocked a new UI element

#

which looks like in that picture

faint flare
#

Its your job gauge

#

Read it for how it worjs

glossy flare
#

If the shield is glowing then that means you have your tank stance on

leaden ginkgo
#

Oh

glossy flare
#

So you generate more aggro

#

To be actually tanking

latent sluice
#

I am going to hope technical support helps. Seeing as that won't even be answered

Cos this caster used lb3 on a boss

I mean if no one else does...

twilit arch

was there a melee

#

and what percent was the boss

vital ruin
#

Yes

onyx kiln
#

there is no fast way to level up the characters you play alongside in the trusts right?

vital ruin
#

Sam ninja

#

Idk like 8-15%

That lb3 barely reduced hp

twilit arch
#

what instance

vital ruin
#

I don't remember

#

Uhh probably ivalice

#

Or was it omega

twilit arch
#

then it probably wasn't something that really mattered so while yes, ideally melee should've used it

#

caster using lb3 probably won't have really broken anything

Hey

Ye it barely scratched him

What is that blue bar ?

twilit arch

spiritbonding

west spruce

I mean if nobody else casting it then why not

twilit arch
#

once it fills you can extract materia from it

civic mantle
#

Thanks !

glossy flare
#

Even a caster lb3 is still 6150 potency... I think. If it's casual content then that's not worth losing sleep over

#

melee is 9000 potency iirc

twilit arch
#

those numbers aren't accurate

glossy flare
#

welp, nvm then

fallen axle
#

whats a better way to grind for tomestones poetic?

wanton lintel

Where is the ventures item

twilit arch
#

lb dmg is a little more nuanced than other skills

#

In the other tabs on the sidd

twilit arch
#

they're under the enlistee materiel section

vital ruin
#

No I mean he did LB the moment bar was full maybe if he waited a bit a melee would've
But it's casual content ig so it's okay

twilit arch
#

yeah, thats my point when i said it doesn't break anything. because its content that really doesn't require the limit break's dmg. sure it would've been nice if melee had gotten to do it

#

but at the end of the day, its kind of whatever

#

Also been in plenty of parties with several melee and not a single one used the lb when it was ready so i can understand them jumping the gun so to speak

pressing buttons in the correct order

Oh so like 'rotating' a set of skills so that I can 'pop them at the right time?

leaden ginkgo
#

How exactly do you know if you're undergeared ? I assumed you having the ilevel requirement for the dungeon should be enough ?

glossy flare
#

Meeting the requirement is definitely enough to clear it

#

Big pulls can be a bit rough though if you are just barely at or above the minimum

glossy flare
agile laurel
#

i assume you're newer, so focus on your combos and mitigating adequately if you're a healer or tank

boreal storm
#

Say you have 3 skills that combo into each other, the rotation would be 1-2-3

make sure to read your abilities

Do we get a preview of the new job af gear before the expac releases?

#

In engine, that is

remote lintel
#

no?

leaden ginkgo
#

Question; I think of myself as a good healer, but as soon it is Bardams mettle I fail to let the tank do wallpulls. I don't care in any other dungeon (even the newest one) just Bardams mettle (and of course the first room of Aurum vale); has someone else this problem or do I play my healers (doesn't matter which of the three healer I play) fundamentally wrong at level 65?

remote lintel
#

how would we see the job gear in game if the job isnt even in game

halcyon grail
#

Like preview videos

remote lintel
#

bardams mettle is just difficult to do w2w pulls

halcyon grail
#

Like how we got a video about Sage

glossy flare
#

Weren't there previews for ShB? I remember some creators getting some time at a hands on event or something where they could try out new jobs at level cap and such

remote lintel
#

who knows

glossy flare
#

Where the they had the new af gear on

#

But yeah, who knows, they don't have to show us

twilit arch
#

we'll probably get a job actions video

#

which will most likely have the new AF sets

modest igloo
#

i mean you could just check the ShB job preview to see if they had the gear on or not

halcyon grail
#

I ask because I like the look of the new DRK gear, but the shoulder pieces ride high and are form fit to the chest piece. It makes me worry they're just one piece and the shoulders will stretch about strangely.

gentle socket
#

is there a skill master? or do you get skills as you level?

remote lintel
#

you get skills by leveling and doing job quests

rose oak
#

so just buy all my alts weapons and just hoard the tokens from diamond then

glossy flare
#

Job quests are shown at the top left right under your current main story quest

#

Do them asap when they pop up

gentle socket
#

cool thanks!

twilit arch
#

yeah the shadowbringers job action preview used the lv 80 AF Gear so assuming we do get it (which probably will) it'll have 90 AF

fallen axle
#

is there a way to pay for membership/come out of free trial without buying expansions? im trying to hold off til Endwalker....

glossy flare
#

You could just buy the starter edition now

west spruce
#

buy the base game

glossy flare
#

Same content as the free trial though, just without the restrictions

remote lintel
#

note that the base game and free trial have the same content

#

you would only be paying for lifting the restrictions

#

also endwalker isnt dropping in at least 5 months

Leveling dungeon spam is better if you can ensure short queue times

But as a dps... sure

Up until lvl 60 anyway

leaden ginkgo

glossy flare
#

HoH for 60-71

#

Then Bozja

leaden ginkgo
#

How many floors do I need to unlock for Hoh?

#

Hoh*

#

HoH*

glossy flare
#

21-30

#

is what you want for leveling

leaden ginkgo
#

Roger, roger. Do I need to get to level 100 for PotD to unlock HoH?

mental oracle
#

if my friend played the trial when it wasn't unlimited can he make a new account and play this new trial?

glossy flare
#

just need floor 50 of potd

mental oracle
#

he is telling me he need to enter a code to create an account (20 digit)

forest lark
#

What is the best food for tanks?

remote lintel
#

@mental oracle you dont need to make a new account

west spruce
#

is he using free trial client

warm snow
#

But either smoked chicken like everyone else or fetuccine

fallen axle
#

is the ps5 app for the game trial only

#

or can any account use the PS5

Hey I was wondering if controller is worse than keyboard to play on?

warm snow
#

No

glossy flare
#

Not at all

warm snow
#

It depends on your tastes

#

I play controller on pc

leaden ginkgo
#

Playing on the Steam Controller was amazing.

#

So many buttons.

fallen axle
#

idk i havent played with M+KB but i really enjoy the controller

mental bane
#

Thanks since my friends play on keyboard I wanted to know

fallen axle
#

it takes a bit of setup to get your hotbars/binds down and fixing your UI

remote lintel
#

you can play just as well on controller

fallen axle
#

but its very smooth

twilit arch
#

basically its down to personal comfort.

weary dagger
#

i know what a parse is, but what is a barse

manic flare
#

is it recommended to a get a mouse with extra buttons for this game?

remote lintel
#

its not required

manic flare
remote lintel
#

controller lmao

#

@weary dagger sounds like a meme

twilit arch
#

having an mmo mouse can be nice, but not required at all

manic flare
#

i actually feel like controller is better, since there are so many more keys (or cominbation of keys) you can map to comfortable positions for your fingers

#

whereas for keyboard you realistically have keys 1-4, ctrl+1-4, shit+1-4, which is not enough

mental oracle
twilit arch
#

you have more than that snack

remote lintel
#

@mental oracle you click one of the options

twilit arch
#

you're completing ignoring q e r t f g z x c v

agile laurel
boreal storm
agile laurel
#

like me, i am one of those

manic flare
twilit arch
#

plenty of things that use those buttons don't need to be keybind

#

or can be on alternate keybinds

#

There's no reason for A and D to not be stafing

#

either way though there are plenty of keybinds for the keyboard

#

you limiting yourself to 1-4 is your own issue

manic flare
#

the problem is that i have to look at my keyboard in order to press buttons outside the 1-4 keys

west spruce
#

you can just move strafing to a d tho

twilit arch
#

again that's a personal problem

#

and not a keyboard issue

remote lintel
#

then dont keybind 5+

#

its muscle memory

#

some way people dont have to look at the keyboard to type

manic flare
twilit arch
#

for you, sure

#

but that doesn't mean controller as a whole is necessarily better

timber gull
#

I've never, ever used the number keys for rotational abilities. I use shift + everything my fingers rest on. Shift + A, Shift + W, Shift + D, etc.

#

in any mmo

twilit arch
#

they are both the same situation in that you need to build up comfort/muscle memory

#

like i dont have the comfort/muscle memory built for controller so playing with one is often very awkward for me

manic flare
#

because i feel like my ceiling is more limited with a keyboard

#

whereas with controller, if i develop the muscle memory, controller might actually be easier for me

twilit arch
#

i imagine if you actually sat down and thought about better keybinds, keyboard wouldnt be so limited

fallen axle
#

how many classes though require over 12+ active skill keybinds?

remote lintel
#

all of them

manic flare
remote lintel
#

classes have like 30 skills average

twilit arch
#

you do not need a and d to be turn, those can be strafe. cos realistically there isn't many situations where you need to keyboard turn. most of the menu options can be put onto alternate keybinds

manic flare
#

due to complex combos with dps

fallen axle
#

im level 51 so ill figure that out as time goes

manic flare
#

with tanks, you can get away with maybe just using 12 skills

twilit arch
#

like C doesn't need to open your character sheet, you can put that on like ctrl+c or something else entirely to make use of that button

remote lintel
#

not really

west spruce
#

nah

wintry chasm
manic flare
wintry chasm
#

not even then?

manic flare
#

i am usually using a lot more in unsync'ed ex trials

open ember
#

"Unsynced"

manic flare
#

paladin at level 80 feels like a dps class

open ember
#

All tanks are lol

remote lintel
#

tanks are basically tanky dps

manic flare
#

but at level 70 paladin still has a relatively simple rotation

remote lintel
#

all tanks do

#

it still requires more than 12 skills with ST rotation, aoes, invuln, cds, role skills, etc

manic flare
#

well at level 70 the ST combo is 4 keys, AOE combo is 2 keys, the CDs are 4 keys, and holy circle and the oGCD DoT are two more keys

mental oracle
#

with old trial account

remote lintel
#

is he using the trial launcher

mental oracle
#

the demo launcher from steam

remote lintel
#

did he originally have the trial on steam?

mental oracle
#

nope

remote lintel
#

thats why

mental oracle
#

oh

remote lintel
#

steam and windows are 2 separate platforms that require 2 separate accounts

#

so he needs to download the windows trial launcher

When does the Nier raid end?

#

Or permanent

faint flare
#

Its permanent

#

Cause its this expansions 24man

warm snow
#

Monster hunter hasn't gone away and neither will nier

shy kindle
#

Okay

#

Wasn’t there a nier raid a while ago too though? I believe I missed that

agile laurel
#

on patch 5.5, yes

glossy flare
#

There are 3 total now

west spruce
#

You arent missing anything from nier

faint flare
#

All 3 nier raids are permanent

remote lintel
#

the nier raids are the shb alliance raids

#

so theres 3

faint flare
#

Again, they're this expansion raid series

remote lintel
#

each expac has 3 alliance raids

whats the reward for doing unreal tirals

Chance to play faux hallows for currency to buy stuff

Like mounts, minions and other stuff

#

just realized there's not really a super worthwhile health potion endgame is there~? xD

faint flare
#

Nope

remote lintel
#

potions are useless after like 50

faint flare
#

Cause hp pots in general are worthless

astral cobalt
#

wait, I can exchange dungeon/rare stuff for company seals ?

remote lintel
#

yes

glossy flare
#

yup

astral cobalt
#

nice, related questions ; what good are the seals for ?

remote lintel
#

buying things from the vendor

faint flare
#

Glamour prisms, ventures, cordials

#

Selling mats

astral cobalt
#

good to know ,thx, no reason to pass on items then

boreal storm
#

Cosmetic stuff, if you care

#

What level do I get more attack skills as white mage? Spamming rock is getting repetitive lol

obsidian patio
#

At 45 when you get Holy for AoE.

frail fulcrum
#

How would I find people who wants to try any ultimates?

obsidian patio
#

Besides that, your Aero and Stone upgrade to do more damage as you level up

I already got three additional retainer, now i want to hire another one, which option should i choose on Mogstation?

How does doom work?

faint flare
#

It varies from fight

remote lintel
#

you die at the end of the countdown

#

unless you do something

faint flare
#

You need to remove it before it expires

#

How its removes depends

obsidian patio
#

Sometimes you stand on a platform, sometimes you need to be healed to full HP, sometimes you just Esuna, and sometimes you can’t do anything at all since it’s used as a punishment for taking too many hits from avoidable damage

jolly sorrel
#

Leveling from 70 to 80, still roulettes? I hear Trusts dungeons are a solid alternative?

obsidian patio
#

If you have long dungeon queues, yes.

#

Trusts usually take around 24-30 minutes to clear a dungeon

jolly sorrel
#

So for tanks and healers, roulettes and highest dungeon is still faster.

forest bronze
#

machinist is the highest ranged dps class right?

frail fulcrum
#

@remote lintel @obsidian patio thank you ^^

jolly sorrel
#

🙇

remote lintel
#

@forest bronze wym highest ranged

forest bronze
#

highest personal*

remote lintel
#

sounds right

jolly sorrel
#

And there is no Deep Dungeon equivalent for DPS, it's straight up either roulettes or trust dungeons?

obsidian patio
#

Bozja southern front is kinda the equivalent of POTD for Shadowbringers.

#

In terms of letting you go in at any level

#

But yeah no true deep dungeon equivalent

jolly sorrel
#

Oh, I forgot about that. Is it... decent for leveling? I assume it allows you to level while doing other stuff in there too

candid ruin
#

who the heck created story dungs, waiting 15min and nothing, axaxaxa

twilit arch
#

yeah its pretty decent for leveling

remote lintel
#

this is an mmo

jolly sorrel
#

Solid, thanks.

remote lintel
#

it has group content

candid ruin
#

no shit, but imo there should be an option to play dungs at least for the first time on solo mode

remote lintel
#

there is

#

in shadowbringers

jolly sorrel
#

I'm not sure what your question is, Arc 😦

twilit arch
#

please keep in mind this isn't a vent channel

candid ruin
#

ohh right, my bad, sorry

fallen axle
#

how is the moggle Mog (hard) fight? need it for the MSQ

halcyon gorge

It's not that bad.

the extreme one is a bit more complicated
