I’m interested but idk if I want to start it if my MCH is only lv 33 and I barely played him
Personally I find nin a bit boring due to that, but it's not a bad job
Anyway to check server ping in-game?
Is the droprate for loathsome memories impacted inside Bozja, when I still have the previous one(s) running?
not sure what you mean
none of the quests interact with each others' drop rates, if that's what you mean
Is there a DoH Job that makes Katanas?
blacksmith
Blacksmith, gotcha. Thanks!
When you buy job progression on lvling up,what are the bad things about it? 😛
that you get your whole lvl 70 kit at once
so you have to learn on a dummy most of your kit rather than naturally
No learning curve whatsoever, yeah
Which can be hella confusing if you are new to the game
it costs money
its much worse if it's on a role you're not comfortable on
I do want to just add in case you aren't realising it yet, what crafter an item really needs is really dependent on what the item is made out of and not the class of the item.
Bah details.
if you are new to the game btw: Everything is story locked
I mean, let's be real here -- how much do you actually learn from 1-50 on most classes?
money
Having a high lvl without progress in story quests means nothing
I am legacy member so Ill be allright.
MNK would like a word
you'll figure it out, though.
but yeah, if you don't intend to buy an msq skip (or have already done it) buying a level skip is all but pointless
msq I want to do. Its the lvling of some jobs I don't want to do.
How difficult are the omega savage fights unsynced?
I mean you still have to level them
msq levels you with it?
the job skip just bumps you to 70
if that's the case, I'd just do MSQ on the first job you want to play
then
think about level skips after the fact
Not bad...still have to respect the major mechanics
because the MSQ will get at least one job to the level cap
o11s and o12s are still pretty hard
afaik you can't solo Omega savage but it's alright
Still gotta do Grand cross alpha/delta...Some forsakens and one Hello world
For the 4 main fights of interest
About world visit. What are the limitations?
no retainer or fc usage
no usage of the mb, no housing on other worlds, no fcs, no retainers
you can use the MB
You can buy from it, just not post
well... you can buy stuff
!faq worldvisit
The World Visit System allows players to visit other worlds on the same data center. After hopping to another world, you are then able to do almost everything you are normally able to such as partying up to take on duties. Click the link below to find out how it works, and what restrictions there are.
i see
I mean, no retainers covers no sales.
semantics, but true
also, a lot of the same weird communication restrictions that seemingly infect many aspects of the game
the restrictions are mainly in place so you can not effect certain economic aspects of other worlds
but I guess that's not world visit specific, you just might run into them that way
including the housing "market"
I see
they're adding data centre visit soon, which I imagine might have more restrictions than world
Like temp name changes
I'm just wishin' and hopin' and prayin' it's cross region.
but I strongly doubt it, because that'd require duplication of data that regional visits might not.
Are there any other requirements to get the quest for my Dragoon job other than finishing the level 30 Lancer quest and the level 20 MSQ?
How is the trust system? I heard that some people like it.
and its only available for shadowbringers expansion?
correct
typically I do the first run of each new dungeon with it as the "canonical" run, but holy fuck does it feel slow at times.
and as far as I'm concerned the people who actually managed to level their trusts must be masochists
but it is cool to actually be interacting with the story npcs in a gameplay scenario.
Hi guys, ähm... i am bloody new to this game just a quick question. I want to play ranger (as i do on every mmorpg) - is it useful lategame for dungeons and stuff?
all jobs are useful
All jobs can do all content
Including the hardest endgame stuff
i have the fear ppl not wanting to team up with me bcs "ranger has x lower dps compared to others" and stuff like this
doesn't happen
nice 😄
that sounds nice, thx 😄
you won't typically be top damage as BRD (which is the closest thing to ranger) in high end content, but you bring other stuff which is useful beyond damage
for the most part, people don't really care about what job you play. what matters more is whether you playit well
which the classes that do top damage do not usually bring
Because you guys know everything and so many kind people create resources for this game, are there 'tank notes' for each dungeon boss? I don't want to screw up
just do the fundamentals
point it away from the group, watch telegraphs
note that as a tank you've actually got a larger margin of error than the other classes
outside of highend content most fights are forgiving af
the occasional screw up is part of playing the game 🙂
All data centers in the region should have relatively same ping right? So all 3 data centers for NA should have pretty much same ping right?
they're all in the same building
Oh Lol. Thank you

no
don't say nothin', won't be nothin'
what's the ideal bait order for ocean fishing?
SE has already said that reshade is perfectly fine to use
shaders are allowed
I did my very first tanking ever doing the random quest thingy yesterday as a warrior. It was FUN. But how do you aim the AoE easier? Warrior aoe is cone shaped. I kept on missing a mob or two.
just gotta practice
if you run through a pack they'll generally line up well enough for it
Do I get more damage if I let monsters hit my back?
No
direction doesnt matter
there used to be some pretty important things directional damage wise
I see
but these days positionals are only an output thing
Why is the Mount: Fatter Cat is more expensive than the cloud mount?
because it's popular
is there a guide for the relic weapon refinement thingy and what stats you should put your points into?
Follow your jobs stat priority
the fatter cat mount is account wide
Will I get more ladies having this mount? lol 🤣
account wide items cost more
that too ^
Make sense
I mean... if digital goods in a video game get you ladies I want in
save bet is crit/direct hit, with the rest going into sks/det depending on your job/stat tier
and if you can't do crit/direct hit, crit/det
I've got monk. I think before it was crit/dh
So I’m looking at Wesk video for Nin and it seems good but I have to ask, is it worth it at all to consider macro for the mudra?
I feel the answer is no but still
No and no
the only nin macro i would recommend is a shukuchi one
otherwise dont macro anything
I got some money to spare so I will get the fat cat for fun.
The NIN job seems overwhelming but that’s cause I’m looking at every mudra combo instead of gradually learning them as I play
Seems like a cool job though
And based on his video, yeah there’s like 3-4 that I wouldn’t normally use
can be easier to just think of them like 1-2, 1-2-3, etc
Outside of solo play regular hyoton is not good. The bind would immediately dissolve right?
With some practice the murdas become muscle memory
im on controller so i memorize them in directions on the dpad
Only the ending mudra is important
you pretty much use suiton and doton the majority of the time
I was actually thinking of the same thing cause other games I’ve played have needed input stuff too
Am I playing this game in the same server with PS4/5 players? I am a PC player.
Yes
Wow
Side question, is there a limit to how much gear I can hold in armory chest?
The game is fully cross-platform.
@fallen axle yes
GShade. Comes with a bunch of presets you can try out or tweak
Is it a large limit? Lol
press ctrl+C (by default) to open it
How do they chat? How do they select stuff without a mouse. Must be hard.
open your armoury and look at it
Whaddaya mean how, it's crossplay
it's cheaper to invest in one big server for everyone than separate servers
They type with the ps4 chat or keyboard
The PS4/PS5 has a software keyboard, although it's clunky to use. They can also just... plug in a keyboard.
@devout crystal theres a virtual mouse mode but they can go through menus the same way you do for any other game
controller support is pretty damn good
Console MMORPG players tend to have an USB keyboard plugged in for talking
They target stuff with the cursor
A few people in my static are using controllers on PC
wow
they have a keyboard to chat, but the rest of the game is optimized to play with controller and keyboard
see, there's one now... controllers are pretty popular
Wow amazing.
How do people handle having different gear for like 8 different classes if there’s an armory limit?
I thought being able to use a mouse is a huge plus for mmo
because roles share gear
Or do they migrate it to chocobro
You got like 30 slots per section
good inventory management, but also because many jobs share gear
Oh the higher tier gear is mostly role shared?
Cuz you only slap the biggest lvl piece of gear and drop the old ones(sell)
I know some gear is class specific
all role gear is shared
Well for example all tanks use the same gear, as do all healers and all casters
Just melee dps are weird
Except Artifact gear
I’ve just noticed there’s a few gear I get sometimes that only works for like 4 classes or only DRG
drg is weird
because it has its own gear as of right now
the new EW melee dps will use drg gear too though
drg and ninja have specific gear
Like there’s one that is ARC/BRD MCH and something else
dancer
Maybe DNC
NIN shares it's accessories with the ranged physical dps though
and DRG shares their accessories with SAM and MNK
as I said... weird melee dps
Okay but in general a lot of my stuff will work for most classes
Okay cause I was getting worried lol
there is generally some overlap, yes
Also Endwalker is a adding space for more weapons and rings iirc
For this particular MMO, it's not really and advantage. In many cases I've actually seen KBM players complaining about not being able to target the NPCs or players they want to, while I'm on controller with the game's own target assist defaults helping me.
yeah, you will notice a more standardized approach to gear once you hit Heavensward
The most inventory issues you gonna run into is when leveling all yer jobs
But even then, it will probably only affect rings
funfact: EW will remove the belt slot of all things
belts dont add to glamour so theyre useless
Oh I see. Interesting.
Can't see belts, so they have no reason to exist
So I shouldn’t bother buying any belt gear?
no
Right now? You should bother
One less item to drop from Savage 
you need them
EW is still months away
I mean, belts are useful for now. For the next 5 months or so.
Okay true
when endwalker drops theyre just going to delete them
Lmao
You may choose to not prioritize belts once you hit the endgame and spend tomes for gear or something
Honestly, removing belts is a safecall, they don't even serve for glam, since even accessories are visible
But I imagine that is some time away for you
Wake up to find I’ve been robbed by SE
basically
New expansion will introduce 2 more classes right?
yes
yes
Sage (healer) and one other new melee dps
What role?
see above
Melee dps
healer and melee dps
did they say that aura?
Yes
yea
where?
they will most likely announce the new melee dps during the fanfest next month
In the showcase back in February
Was it? I thought it was during the showcase.
It will raise up level cap and introduce more skills for all classes as well?
It will also "rework" the jobs
So the progression is smooth again with the new skills
Exciting
Happens every expansion
One of the main draws of a new expansion, yes
drg finally has a buddy
To go into detail, currently among all the melee DPS we have right now, Dragoon is the only one who is standing at a special position here and if we are to talk about filling the slot, it’s natural that we will add it there.
no they say it in the showcase as well
another jumpy boi?
Just another job that uses maiming gear
DRG isn't the only one that's standing in that position. NIN also has its own gear. YoshiP what are you saying.
Gonna be a Spartan gladiator
so only NIN is super special with scouting gear
So far they covered all classes in previous FF series right??
not even close
no
Not even close
there's... a lot of them
theres like a million FF classes
we're still missing like 10 from ff5 alone
and sage is an original class
lol
i mean the weapons are original i think
They are
sage might not be
That I know they said in the showcase.
Original to FF but not SE (bravely series was awesome)
That the Nouliths are a unique weapon.
Sage is not original, but the weapons are yes
Oh right technically telluh right
and astrologian is an original class
Spoony bard, forgot. Idk I’m putting my bed down on a gladiator type class
Tell ah would like a word
Sage appeared as early as FF III
Ffiv
Final fantasy tactics advance had sage too
@fallen axle the new melee dps is tentatively speculated to use a scythe
emphasis on speculation
Because YoshiP wore a graphic tee
There is 0 evidence besides shit like: yoshi p wore a shirt with a scythe on it
We put a lot of stock in YoshiP's shirts.
Moogles as a playable race!
the shirts dont lie
it was a skull, not a scythe so people assumed grim reaper
the MCH shirt was iron man right?
it was 007
ah
That’s tricky but cool
it's kind of a tradition on his part
Roundabout way of promoting gun
he teases stuff via shirts
Where can I get on the web a super ultra HD map of Eorzea??
two of the shirts has skeletons with scythes
So yeah, we always look at shirts when Yoshi is giving new expansion details
kael whats the command
I mean if they’d picking from established FF classes I have no clue
nvm then
!faq worldmap
yeah that
thanks
the cloudy parts are regions we actually don't know much about
game's vague on purpose to leave things open for future expansions, presumably
Like the next one
I guess technically we know a lot about the empire
Just not what it actually looks like
rommy's gonna have to edit and translate again once EW drops
why rommy? does he have access to the official materials earlier than anyone e lse?
Cause they're a nerd
does garlandtools 3d model viewer still work or is it bugged? im tryna see some of the relic weps but it wont load anything
cos rommy did the first map, she'll likely translate the new map we get with EW
hm looks like its not working. i'd use gamerescape
oh didnt know it had them too, thanks
i suppose everyone here is a nerd. although probably to varyin degrees.
afaik there are employees in the discord
but they dont talk
or atleast make themselves known as employees
they just listen in like the fbi?
like these guys?
maybe an obvious question but is there any way to get the regular /cpose poses into gpose? everytime im on the one i want it just goes to the emote used before
No
always online but i never see them talk
People would bug the crap out of them if anyone knew
ever
none of the discord staff are SE employees
they translate the live letters..
^
Both Iluna and Shini have translated the live letters
when there are live letters then they talk in the translation channel
Would grouping up to grind Shared FATE ranks be faster? Or would more people just add to the difficulty of the fate anyway?
you can /sit before going into /gpose and it'll clear previous emotes used
that way when you go into gpose with /cpose should just show the /cpose used
more people means the fates get done faster
are there any bonuses to soloing a FATE?
@twilit arch you meant gamerescape has a 3d model viewer or just screenshots of it? i can't find a way to togel into 3d view
screenshots
screenshot
garlandtools has a 3d model viewer
not really no. soloing a fate makes it take longer for obvious reasons
Awesome, I'll throw up a random PF for people then.
there's a modelviewer in one of the posts pinned in #glamour-discussion
the algorithm is different for fate rewards too...healers get more credit by healing, tanks get credit by tanking etc
well healers and tanks get credit via enmity generated
yeah the garland model viewer isnt working right now for some reason
this works now, but is there any way for me to change facial expression in it?
dont think people really join PFs to do FATEs, unless it is for a particular purpose like farming memories or something
like when i sit it gets rid of my /concentrate
yeah, in the gpose menu you can open the emote list
oh ok ty
your best bet is to go to a popular area for FATEs like Mor Dhona and just solo them until you come across people
There was this 'gather the stuff' FATE that required me to put in 18 items, but the moment some other player joined me the required amount of items shot up drastically.
mor dhona wouldn't help them if they're doing shared fates
yeah, the requirements do raise but generally i ts a net gain to have multiple people doing the fate because the fates usually end faster with more people doing it
how do i access the emote list from gpose?
check the tabs on the left
🙇
@jade lava
ah thank you
Whats that dungeon called again that is good for farming poetics
Only rewards poetics
Aetherchemical Research Facility
Nice one
just do keep doing primal trials, you like get first time adventurer bonus 75% of the time, which rewards 60-70 poetics
That is terrible advice.
The worst part of getting my resistance weapon to 510 is I loved the 500 glow and you can't get that back as a glamour 😦
ARF takes around 20 minutes to get, what 100 poetics?
You can
doing a primal trial like garuda takes 3-4 minutes and you have 75% chance of getting 70 poetics out of it
Complete the steps
I can buy the base, not the upgraded one with the glow. Where can I get the glow?
much higher percentage now since most people doing trials these days are newer players
How do you find these Nuts hunts with several people and parties? 🙂
I think your numbers are skewed, snack.
once you get the augmented law's order you can buy the 500 replica
regardless that wasn't their question snack
they asked about the dungeon that just gives poetics
and it was answered
Alright, guess I need to try pushing PoTD or doing DR more.
it's not. i have done this method, 75% is a conservative estimate
Hunt trains are organized usually in hunt discords or linkshells.
most people coordinated the hunt trains via discord or linkshells
The Centurio Hunt discord is the big one.
But there are some for specific datacenters as well.

Thanks guys, how do I find these?
there's discord links in #resources
^
can also just community finder to try and find hunt linkshells for your server/datacenter
I'll try both! big thanks
whats the most popular na dc
All of them.
ok
does anyone uhhh have exp with failed world transfers? been over 12h and my character no longer appears when i search in the lodestone/try to login
Are there still rotations for DoH or is it, like, do whatever?
...that's a dumb question
thanks for deleting that comment that was crashing discord. get a life dude damn
there are rotations based on your stats
grab the doh role in #612757637813239808 and check pins in #doh-dol-lounge
Oh, so my Discord didn't actually randomly restart...?
@iron helm has been banned by Yen#1904 for the following reason:
Posting gif that crashes discord. ToS violation, will be reported to Discord.
Wow. Dick move
I... guess that counts as a question but sorry in advance.
You can crash discord with a gif?
There's GIFs that can crash the client? That's impressive tbh
probably
Hella rude, but impressive
i dont think i wanna know tbh
Ok so I know it's subjective, I'm currently staring at the character creation screen and I can't decide on what race to pick, I have all of them unlocked, I know the stat differences between them are irreelevant, but just hoping someone can help sway my decision
lala
not lala, youre welcome
take that to #general-discussion
that isn't a question appropriate for this channel unfortunately
Okay I'll do that, thanks
discussion tends to be a cesspool
What's the difference between the Blind status and the Accuracy Down status?
So long as I have enough storage space for all my set up furnishings both indoors and outdoors, I can just leave them as is and transfer to another house, right?
Does the SDS Fenrir move faster in bozja
pretty sure you need to take all items out of storage if you plan to demo a house/transfer servers, it warns you of this ahead of time
Uh... I've never heard you need to take all your stuff out of storage if you want to transfer one house to another.
i didnt say that
i said transfer servers or demo a house
if you move server to server, you arent just relocating ykno
relocating yeah youre fine
if you haven't bought the riding map, yeah
Also, if you relocate to the house of the same size, do you still gotta set everything up all over again?
Where do you get the bozja riding map?
its bought with clusters
yes you do
Is Ishgard housing coming 6.0 or later?
6.1, but the wards will be previewable in 6.0
I'm trying gunbreaker/first tank ever, do tanks need to worry about avoiding AoE and mechanics or just tank all dmg to avoid spinning the boss as much
Hi guys, I played the game on ps4 à few years ago and wanted to try the ps5 trial but as soon as I try to start it I get the message that I don't have a license for the game. Are accounts that had a subscription before excluded from the "trials" that let you ay up to level 60? Or am I doing something wrong?
always avoid avoidable damage
of course you need to avoid them @nocturne void
theres 0 reason to take damage you can otherwise avoid
dont take unecessary dmg
other than to irritate your healer
If you owned the game, you can never go back to the trial on the same account.
Good! That initial rush will likely make me an extra 5 to 6 million gil selling materials, if it's anything like 5.0, especially if I have an entire patch to do it.
Cool yeah that makes sense
You would have to download the PS5 beta version for the full game rather than the trial version.
And have an active sub.
And Shadowbringers, I think.
as far as spinning the boss...try not to do that either, you dont need to run across the arena to avoid stuff, you can be right next to it when it goes off just not in it
Hmm, yeah, I'll pass then, thanks for the info tho :)
With the 9 million I have now, I might be able to buy a Medium size house in Lavender beds without breaking the bank.
Want to make sure I have enough money to actually put a house up tho, don't wanna be like JD in that one season of Scrubs.
Is there a way to see FPS while playing the game? Other than going to system config
Third party app, prolly.
Alright, also do people get annoyed if I'm not doing wall to wall pulls everytime. I'm just trying to get more used to pulling before I piss everyone off dying or something
Why do you need a method other than that?
generally yeah wall to wall is what people have accepted BUT that being said, tank sets the pace of the dungeon
Is there a good 3rd party app anyone would recommend?
a tip would be...dont use your ranged aggro/shield lob/tomahawk while pulling packs..instead just facepull groups and use aoes
Wether you live or die is 70% the healer's responsability
and use your cooldowns for packs..dont save them for bosses
As in my defense or healing cooldowns? And face pull as in be first and have them naturally aggro me? As GB just been running by and using my AoE
(arms length counts as a cooldown, it applies Slow and is very useful in big trash packs)
I have to use a controller so very annoying to try and ranged single targets on my way by
as tank you have defensive cooldowns so those
start with big ones and use others as you go..the more uses in a dungeon the better cause that's more damage mitigated instead of ONLY on bosses
Be not afraid, if you die, you just revive, thats it
Best way to know your limits is to test them; and break them, so pull big, pull hard
with controller if you hold R2 or L2 and tap R1 or L1, it acts as tab targetting for the controller btw
Warrior is a good beginner tanking right?
Most popular place in the gsme for Fate battles?
So wall to wall usually, pulling bug and hard, facepull AoE for aggro, use cooldowns on mobs, always avoid unnecessary dmg, even if it means spinning mobs sometimes
every tank is viable yeah..you can only start as GLD or MRD
I'm on Balmung tho and I'm guessing a lot of other people will want to upgrade houses. So with the timer out of the equation, the lowest I'd be paying is 16 million. :x
I am MRD now. Wanna be warrior
Are there any 3rd party tools you guys use?
you shouldnt ever have to spin the boss for the record...but if you must, just dont keep spinning it. dps with positionals will cry lol
I'm doing msq first time and just got to 60. I like gunbreaker even though there are better tanks I just really don't want to level something else
ah yeah for packs dw about spinning
Might not be able to do this without breaking the bank after all.^^;
Yeah I have only played melee dps so I feel that for sure
wdym "there are better tanks" ? all tanks are viable, just depends what You find fun
FATEs appear everywhere so there's not really a "popular place"
ok
Thanks yall what awesome tips!!
I just started pld and Jesus Tanking is fun as a 80 mnk main
I forget, are the actual houses you buy for the plots different based on the size of the plot?
!faq housing
Fraps or MSI Afterburner
Yeah I mean I have seen that there are better begginer tanks than GB but I think GB looks really fun and honestly don't want to level a leather char rn
Btw, as a tanker do I move away from AOE or facetank it?
Always dodge avoidable damage
the houses do look somewhat different based on the plot side
always move away from anything avoidable
Unless you're doing specific uptime stuff
Mansion houses have more stuff on the outside compared to what a small will have
I don't mean rhe look tho.
meh, better is subjective tbh. GNB is the busiest of the tanks rotation wise but still a good tank
I mean what you actually need to buy.
you need to buy the appropriate size
gnb is the carpal tunnel causing tank
Move from AOE then go back to original position
I remember doing a lot of Fates in Limsa area.
if you buy a medium you need to buy <whatever> house walls, smalls need to buy <whatever> cottage walls
all damage is scripted, most healers will react accordingly so long as youre not taking unnecessary damage
So if I can make just over 16 to 17 million by 6.1, I might be stuck with a plot without a house for awhile.
Like I said, Balmung, so will be racing against other people who want to upgrade to medium.
I felt like I was spamming provoke in last boss fight. Seemed like it keep aggro my ranged dps and I was losing aggro, is that a thing for some bosses?
Can't afford to wait for the timer to lower the price.
also gentle reminder that Arm's Length counts as a defensive CD as it applies slow to enemies, very useful for big packs, often overlooked
if you're relocating you're not paying full price
That I did not know!
If you're undergeared then yes
How do i abandon the bunny duty in eureka?
How much then?
(Cost of Relocation) = (Destination Plot Price) – (30% of Old Plot Price)
Right click the bunny buff
Ty!
Well that's good, but it also means I'll have a lot more competition than I thought. :x
It is Lavender Beds tho, the least popular housing district.
Just got to 60 with full shire armor doing lvl 50 Stone Vigil hard and kept losing aggro it felt like. So I don't think I was undergeared?
you shouldnt have issues there if your tank stance is on
Thx I'll keep that in mind
Also, if you don't have tank stance on you should
can you not post gif reactions please
That boss has no aggro table
The final boss
It runs around doing whatever
Sorry, thought that'd be smaller. XD

ah yea some bosses do that
Okay yeah it was the last boss, I did have my tank stance on, so I just happened to play my first tank boss vs a boss who does what he wants lol
No one should have to see Bill Murray's face in that high a res!
yeah lol he has no aggro and splits into another with no aggro, there's not tooo many that are like that but there are some.. as long as the rest of the dungeon you have aggro youre fine
Are these easy to solo as DRK? They are level 60 dungeons
Cool I was like, I need to get some help, this damn boy is just ignoring me
At cap sure
Im level 80
should be able to solo them then
So if I were to want to relocate to a 16 million gil plot, I'd be paying around 11 million gil?
To get to max rank of shared fates, it only requires 66 fates in a zone right?
ill give it a try
And the fact that my current plot is a size smaller wouldn't matter?
Welp I'm going to try another dungeon I'll prolly be back with more silly questions in a bit lol, thx for the help!
meh theres a lot to figure out, dw about silly questions
My friend is in a dungeon at the last boss and 3 people left, it wont let anyone else join the dungeon. They have pressed the search for new members button
sometimes it bugs like that...had that happen to me and a buddy in amaurot. didnt figure anything that worked so we just left
I’ll help him but I’m in aether
It wont let anyone join his dungeon, I am banned from queue for 30 from trying to join him
What the hell
@raven star I've had people leave before because they ran into trash and died and then rage quit lol
seby that's not really important or helpful
Still true
Tank had an emergency so they left, other 2 dps left cause a tank didn't join. FC tried to help but it wont let anyone join the dungeon. Just a bug
Oh wait, 30% of my current plot's minimum value.
Yeah... still gonna need to shoot for close to 20 million gil if I don't want to break the bank.
Can you not tp to the shards from the map icons?
Not the tiny ones,
The shards in the cities? No
Do you need to use the main one to tp to them?
Yes, or another shard in the same city
Is Machinist a good DPS for a new player?
yes
So I'm a level 80 leatherworker and weaver, but I'm not too good on high-end crafting though. Aside from selling crafting materials, what are some other decent ways I can make some money?
machinist has a low learning curve
It's an easy class to play but apparently it isn't that good in terms of dps @azure hound
it's got comparable dps to other classes
and it's highest physical ranged dps class
Depends on your server's market. You can craft the older, glowy primal weapons. Items needed for crafting quests. Lower requirement glamour.
Oh yeah, I'm level 80 botany too.
I've seen people nearing 1 bil gil and over 1 bil gil, how do they farm so much of it
Guess I'll need to focus on nodes if I want to make really good gil in a short time.
Well I make most of my money selling level 80ish materials crafted from materials my retainers bring back.
Singles, at high prices.
crafting
certain items sell for in the tens of millions of gil

how far in Bozja will we need to proceed to get our final relic step?
But do those items take ages to acquire through crafting?
no
Rank 10 for now
I mean like when that may update happens
another way to obtain money is to do maps and acquire the rare crating mats from the treasure maps
do we have information on it
No
oh ok
and sell on MB or use the mats to craft glamour items to sell
Do those high level mobs in each low level area give any good items?
a third method if you don't have high level crafters is to farm EX primal trials for the primal mats and sell them on MB
certain primal mat drops from Extreme trials sell for in the millions of gil
again prices are server dependent, so check your world to see which sells
Not directly. They are hunt targets which give you hunt currency that you can spend on some things.
i'm on crystal, and since there's many RP'ers on crystal, crafting mats and glams tend to sell very well
not sure if it's the case on your datacenter
Hey guys. How do I switch my FF game without uninstalling it, from my HDD to my SSD, safely ?
So for whm from 59>65 any advice ?
in terms of leveling?
!faq altlvlguide
Yeah and also.skills
check out wesk alber WHM leveling guide
Hmm is there ANY Machinist weapon that changes the pouch on your hip?
nope
Are sack of nuts -> Tomestone gear upgrade mat exchange uncapped weekly?
lunchbox is the same for all guns
he gives level specific rotations
Is there a cap on Desynthesis for crafting?

there ae mods that do that
520
is there any title/reward for being in the top say 10 for GC seals for a particular time period?
you can do it as many times as you want, but nuts are capped at 4000, you can still farm as long as you want tho
some how i made it to the top 100 for my world
no
...
fuck replied to the wrong one
no, snack there's nothing for that
all good
no, it's just bragging rights
How laze does that feel, even the Astros little side slide gets different, and just the gun is a bit unsatisfying hah
And I can max out all my crafting classes to 520? I was reading a guide on wiki I found that said I could only max 3 classes
hard to glamour nicely 
wait 3 max what
what's the cheapest way to gear up a combat class currently, did they remove any caps on anything recently
back in ye olde days you could only max out 3 crafters with desynthesis
Oh so I was capped at one point thats nuts
eden promise normal mode @signal aspen
thank you
eden's promise normal mode raids, the tokens can be exchanged for i510 armour and accessories. there is no weekly limit on those anymore.
you could also do the tower at paradigm's breach and hope to get an i520 piece of armour every week
what days do raids reset, are they on the mondays?
tuesdays
weekly resets happen every tuesday at like 10am bst
How difficult to play WHM though even knowing it's low apm (action per minute) ?
not difficult
Is there a faster way to get the 4 blades of lost antiquity for that one defragmented Tomestone you need per piece of gear? Or is it just supposed to be like that?
Is harvesting and selling crystals or clusters a better investment? I know clusters sell for more, but I also know that crystals are used way more and are easier to come by.
well it used to be 7 for 1
@buoyant sorrel its supposed to be like that
so yes its slow, bc if you raid savage it's a drop
Blades are still weekly locked
Cause trying to find class to settle down with till endwalker (waiting for dps class announcement) got war to 80 few days ago (fun but hard for me to tank due ti anxiety) so going to give WHM a go and get gear for sage as well
whm is easy
Is there name changes? My name kinda dumb, breean breeanan
yes, its under additional services on mogstation
whm is the first healer It had to be easy
Yes, $10 from Mogstation.
can anyone lead me towards the LFG section of this discord? if it exists, thank you :>
Oh im also deaf so i can't hear youtube
Are Trusts only for the main quest ShB dungeons or can I bring them to all the post-MSQ dungeons added later too?
So that's 5 months of grinding just for the gear alone and not the accessories, wow
can take them in post msq dungeons
Thanks 🙇 I'll get to leveling
just keep in mind they have to be 80 fo rthose
unless you're able to choose them for the dungeon in the overworld
my trusts aren't all 80, but I was still given the option to bring them into the latest dungeon, with all of them at lvl 80
yes first time runs for msq, you can use them w/o leveling
What do I need to do to get more aetheric density for my Anima?
It only does that if you're doing it for story for the first time
but if you want to rerun the dungeon, they will have to be 80
to be specific, if you use the Trust option when talking to a Trust NPC before the dungeon in the MSQ, they'll automatically be at the relevant level
it's when you use the Trust function under Duty that you have to level em
spam a9s. it's the fastest way to get light for your anima weapon.
I don't really understand this system
eyes of the creator (savage)
hey I'm a rather new player (only just made it through ARR) and I can't quite decide if I should play tank or heal? both are fun to me so I'd like some advice which of the two is more desired and if I should even tank as a new player (considering you need to know every dungeon rather well as a tank)
you can use the anima glass to check how much light you have. you need 2000 total light, and there are 10 runes that need to be lit up completely.
you dont need to know dungeons as a tank tbh
also just play both? you can level both on 1 character
both roles are desired, but you don't need to know the dungeon for your first time. they are simple enough that you can get by without guides.
So the runes on the sides have to be lit? Does it ever display a number?
Is there a kupo bot for tomestones of revelation? I'm not sure what the kupo commands are
it doesn't display a number, but like I said, you need 2000 light, so every rune is 200 light.
Oh, thanks
yes, the runes have to be lit. your only indication is the strength of the glow
Can you only get points from HW duties?
you also get them from lvl 50 dungeons
Thanks
they'll either be empty, pulsing, or completely yellow
don't worry
You don't need defragmented tomestones for the gear, only for the weapon. Gear tokens are separate and aren't weekly locked currently.
You can get carried easy
Do you queue it?
people spam a9s unsynced, it takes 1min30sec max to do if you have all 8 people at lvl 80
no
you make/join a party finder
there's usually at least one up
I have never used Party Finder, is there a specific spot anima parties would be in?
just make sure you've got alex savage unlocked tho if you do join /make an anima farm party
Oh that's a relief
Is it normal to be in financial burden from fast travel with the blue crystal thingy? Damn expansive! But I hate wasting time running around and I am a terrible navigator. 😦
they're in the raids section. there's not one up atm in light, but you can make one easily, as long as you have the savages unlocked.
Thank you, ill need to unlock the Savage raids
I assume its the same as unlocking the edens ones?
speak to an NPC and you get them
yeah you go to an npc
Thanks
early on yeah, but just keep doing msq and it will give you more money
Ok
ill check it out
but yeah, sarphee, normally a9s gives you 96 light. that means 21 runs maximum will need to be done.
there's a rare bonus that gives out 128 light instead. if you get lucky enough to land in the bonus window, where most, if not all runs, give you the bonus, that is reduced to 16 runs.
anyone know how long it would take getting to Pyros from Anemos weapon? lol
with eureka completed or not?
hmm, depends on how many people are in eureka, and how much time you're willing to spend a day.
yea with eureka completed
well fulmination is old content at this point so those queues are going to take a bit longer
once you get to promise, queue times should get better
20 hours? maybe?
like 20-30 hours maybe
ooh
maybe more
okay
like I said, it all depends on how many people are up in eureka.
how long would it take to get from amenos to pyros with echo?
yah the anemos ilvl 355 to pyros ilvl 385
I misread that as anemos to pagos 
does anything special happen when you finish all crystarium deliveries?
There's an additional quest and you get a title.
loading time?
oh cool thx @strange coral , i guess ill do them haha
I've been in this area for ages, down at the Blacksmith's guild, so it would've loaded by now
don't you need to be a high enough rank in the gc?
ah yep, it's asking for second lieutenant rank
you have to be 2nd LT and lv 50
...how do I rank up?
talk to the personnel officer
and you gotta have enough gc seals to rank up.
Also you need the GC hunting log done, for certain ranks
Aight um
How do you earn Seals
Because FATEs seem like the only way
Aside from a few quests
fates, levelling roulette, guildhest roulette, leves, GC hunting log
expert delivery give a ton too
Oh damn, the Hunting Log gives a nice amount
dunno if they have expert deliveries unlocked tho
what level are you Rain
54 sam
more specifically they need to be a sergeant 2nd class
level 50 ish gear should turn it for like what, 1000 seals each ish?
perfect way to "dump" dungeon drops you cant use
i don't wanna get rid of gear tho
i'll end up using it eventually
well when you start a new class at level 1, you'll get the gear all over again
yeah
and we're talking hundreds of items. you cant carry that much
but yeah its no use hoarding level 60 healing gear when you havent unlocked any healers
is there a rule of thumb as to which ilevel do you do GC turn ins vs desynthing?
Depends what you want
for example low level gear desynth mats often sell as much as higher ilevel desynthed gear mats
so i find that it's better to desynth lower level gear and sell the mats and then do the GC turns for high ilevel gear
but i was wondering if there was a cutoff as when you make that switch
Does supply and provision have a rank requirement? Cause if they need crafter levels that'll also be helpful
The Hunting Log says to find Amalj'aa Hunters in Sandgate
So uh...
where?
I'm in Sandgate rn
should be around the area.
they won't give out precise coords, only the general location
Can it list enemies in Dungeons?
Yes
that map has a circle wher eit is
Maelstrom Hunting Logs Rank 1
oh even better all on one page
Ty!!
Btw guys, how are the blue mages in 2021? The last time I touch this game was in febuary 2019.
awesome
still nuts
they got up to lvl 70 and have a lot of great spells
They’re still side-content, but OP enough to one-shot most ARR content
they're p much amazing now
do blue mages have their own relic weapons?
so no glowy stuff for blu mage?
The lv70 weapons have glow
But you need to finish the job quests to be able to buy them
If I extract materia from an item that has materia in the slots, those materia are untouched, right? Extract only reduces spiritbond back to 1%?
I assume there's never a reason to not extract?
correct
Cool, thanks
If you like the white dot aesthetic I guess
So I've been doing Diamond Ex the intended way, whats this sac strat I keep seeing in PF?
Btw, can lower tier materia be fused or something to get higher tier? Or are they useless once you get higher tier stuff?
is there a way to see how much gil I made today?
Kinda but it's not worth the effort
You have a net loss of 4 materia in doing so
Mutamix let's you trade 4 materia of a given level for 1 of the same level but sometimes it gives you a materia of a higher level
But it's slow, tedious and still rng
Everyone but the healers jump off before flood ray starts casting so only 2 come out, and then they do healer LB3
Can also be done for the part with the tracking aoes + lasers + tower aoes that want people to stand in them
Feels like a waste of an lb3 tbh
Definitely for flood rays, IMO
The Roulette thing said Level 16 but I'm tryna enter with Samurai
Will it lower my level to 16 or what? I've never done Roulettes before xD
But I see lots of parties mess up on the 2nd thing
Do I need a character level 60 to unlock dancer?
Yes
16 is the minimum level to enter
16 is the minimum level to enter the roulette
Is that the only requirement?@onyx anchor
DoW / DoM Level 60
You'll randomly join a party for any levelling dungeon you qualify for
you need shadowbringers
@remote lintel I have all expansions so I should be good
No ShB no ShB jobs
:D
Also ty guys
Yes... probably
@glossy bay disciple of war is for any physical dmg job
should i use lighter armour or heavier ?
Ah thanks for explaining that. Definitely avoiding parties that need to LB3 just for flood ray
you want strength stat
Just equop the gear that's recommended
the defense naturally comes with better gear
You have a recommended gear button
Itll always equip the best gear possible, outside of small exceptions like substats that you don't really need to worry about until you hit endgame
It's probably going off item level
Ah, good to know
how does it know main stat ?
its coded into the game?
you mean whatever main stat of lancer is etc
depending which class you switch to
ok
yes
like for lancer intelligence doesnt do anything
but its the main stat of casters
true
anyone else getting frequent 90k disconnects?

For some reason it won't let complete this quest that I did, even though I delivered to Baderon what was asked for.
wym it wont let you complete it
I'm new to the game, and i'm not sure which role i'd like to play as, would playing tank be a good choice for a beginner? I usually go tank but idk if it's smart to do it as my first character
Its fine
Tanking is one of the easiest roles
Tank stance on > hit mobs > use defensive cooldowns
If there were no first-time tanks, there would be no tanks
Yeah true, but i just don't want to piss people off because i don't know the mechanic of certain fights yet
just say it and theyll explain
Dungeons have mechanics????
just do the fundamentals of tanking and youll pass like 95% of the dungeon
Dont stand in the obvious bad and you're fine
you can also watch a video or read a guide before doing a dungeon the first time
Most of all dungeon content is keep the boss turned away, and avoid avoidable damage
Is it worth promoting in the GC if I'm on free trial?
If you're upfront about being new, people are very forgiving for screwing up mechanics
It won't let me click the complete button, it's grayed out
screenshot
People have been super nice about me saying I'm a first time tank (usually dps)
Okay :) thanks
The key thing is turn on the iron will stance or whatever yours is
How do I do that?
As long as you have it on and and attack you're good
no reason not to
you may as well
what else are you spending seals on
The liutenant/captain ranks are kinda a hassle, but you're on trial you got time
Selecy
you have to pick 1
A quesy rewards
click the things under options
Notice the word@ OPTIONS
if the window has "options" then you need to pick a reward
When the final boss dies
just equip it sarp
its pretty weak compared to my exarchic damn
it is a lv 60 after all
Where can I get fishing gear? I've only been usign the ones given to me in the class quests? I'm level 50 now and there are no more
Is there a fast way to get from 55 to 60?
gatherer yellow srcips are the best bet for gear, otherwise MB it
!faq altlvlguide
What does MB stand for?
market board
do msq
Msq gives like 9k xp now
because youre meant to start HW at 50
do msq until it doesn't then
so youre already 5 levels ahead
