Ah kk. Ok so I guess I'm good 😅
and uh..how many book of litany are acquired per clear / week ?
1
ohh boy
They're your totems basically
the current floors are known as E9s-E12s btw. if you have any more questions about them
Just win the roll 5head
oh right, there's a possible chest reward for the gloves straight up too?
Yes
oooh
!faq savageloot
Per tier:
First floor: (Belt/Earring/Necklace/Bracelet/Ring) x3
Second floor: (Head/Gloves/Boots) x2 + Weapon Tomestone + Glaze
Third floor: Head/Gloves/Boots + Legs + Twine + Solvent
Fourth floor: Weapon + Chest + Random single weapon + Mount + Minion
Loot Rules: Following each weekly reset, every player has a chance to obtain loot from the Savage encounters of the current raid tier. Upon clearing each floor, you will obtain 1 book specific to that fight (e.g. Book of Anamorphosis) and a chance to roll on the loot from that floor. Regardless of if you obtained loot from your weekly clear, you will be barred from rolling on loot from the same encounter until the next weekly reset.
Entering an encounter before clearing the previous floor(s) will relinquish all rewards from previously uncleared floors. (e.g. Entering E12S before clearing E9S for the week will relinquish loot from E9S, E10S, and E11S.) You will lose a chance to earn a book and your chance to roll on any loot that drops that week.
The number of players in your party that have cleared/skipped the encounter for the week will also affect the loot you will get after clearing the encounter.
0 players cleared: 2 chests
1-4 players cleared: 1 chest
5-8 players cleared: 0 chests
as you can tell I haven't done savage in quite a long time..last one was like
the very first eden
oki doki I appreciate the helps 😄
time to watch videos a billion times before attempting
Sorry 1 last question. Where are the expansion upgrades found in the mogstation?
Like ARR Collectors, Shadowbringer Collectors etc
the first page on mog station
Derp yea sorry. I was on the online store. Not mogstation
does ff14 have a social hub like battlenet where i can talk to people on my friendslist outside of the game
no i mean like, how blizzard has a social tab and can talk to people on the battlenet app
ff14 communities really depend on discord to work
ahh
why is this guy so popular?
spawned in 6 worlds in crystal DC in span of 5 minutes
i thought S ranks require triggers to spawn
like a player has to do specific things to spawn them
Not all need player input
so this guy doesn't ?
Mindflayer will spawn from midnight (00:00 Eorzea Time) on a New Moon night when a player travels over its intended spawnpoint.
If Mindflayer does not spawn the first night, it will spawn after 5 PM ET the following nights.
How do you check you rep with a beast tribe?
Any chat options I need to filter out that really aren't needed so I can reduce the chat log spam some?
In the chat tab, theres a option to filter only /say /party chat
Character page > reputation
Well I don't want to get rid of everything. Only stuff that just isn't needed
go to the bottom of your chat tab and it should be located to filter somewhere there
Is doing dailys the only way to get beast tribe rep?
click the cog icon next to chat
Yes you do their daily quests
And idk what all is needed and isn't really
^
otherwise thats all you're seeing
Like "Cross-World Linkshell"
those are private chats
Ah ok
Does neutral sect boost my regens’ potency? And the horoscope heal?
!action Neutral sect
Yes
Does it matter when my regen or horoscope are applied?
There's two notable types of healing up buffs in the game. The most common for healers to have is written as "increases healing magic potency." Skills with this phrasing buff the outgoing healing done from GCD heals only by the person(s) with this buff applied, and it does not affect oGCD heals.
Healer actions with this effect:
• Neutral Sect (AST)
• Fey / Seraphic Illumination (SCH | applies to the whole party)
• Dissipation (SCH)
• Temperance (WHM)
The other type is written as "HP recovery via healing actions." Skills with this phrasing increase the amount of incoming heals on the target with this buff and the increase is applied to ALL heals, including oGCDs. With the exception of Asylum, these skills come from non-healer roles, so it's helpful to know how they function.
Actions with this effect:
• Asylum (WHM | Players must be inside the bubble to receive buff)
• Mantra (MNK | AOE buff)
• Nature's Minne (BRD)
• Thrill of Battle (WAR)
• Improvisation (DNC | AOE buff)
ie. it won't affect regen from celestial opposition, but will buff aspected helios
Thank you
What are some fun mounts I can casually get
I tried great hunt ex solo but it's too much for me
you can buy a gundam for pretty cheap these days
Gundam?
Gabriel mark alpha
anyone has a recruit code i can use?
R/ffxivraf, reddit for them
Yes
nice
Is there a mount spreadsheet on where to unlock all available mounts?
This site has all mounts
Ty
Plus you can log in to see what you already have
I have an unclaimed minion from an achievement, but Jonathas won't let me tell him any tales to get it.
just wanted to make sure, did YP say at fan fest that the new class is the first of its kind, a ‘magical melee’ dps ?
You get it directly from the window now
No
All we know is that it's gonna use maiming
i could have sworn, ok thanks
So heavy strength armour like drg
Ah, that makes sense. Thanks. 🙂
Alright sorry so many questions. But I'll try to explain this one best I can. Since I'm on console I play on a big TV that's roughly idk...8 feet away up on a wall. I'm messing around with the HUD sizes and placements some more and also messing around with UI size.
Is there a way to make my UI menu's bigger like my inventory and character menus but leaving my cross hotbars and other HUD elements alone? Idk how to explain it but when I play on 150% UI it makes things easy to see but my HUD and fonts just seem very clunky and bold. When I lower it to 100% it makes things look much cleaner but then the aspects of my menu like my inventory and character screen are much smaller and from the distance I sit (and my eyesight) it makes them hard to see
You can increase those individually
Just select them by pressing the touchpad then R3
You're a life saver!
Thank you!
Idk what it is or how to explain it but the 100% UI size just looks much cleaner. I mean when at 150% I can still make my HUD elements smaller but they just didn't look right
you can try enabling the 4k ui resolution
I was playing at the one that gave the highest FPS
it didn't affect my FPS at all on my laptop
Yea there's no active fps or ping feedback in game I'm assuming?
I mean being on a PS5 I'm probably only limited to 60 anyways or not much over
i think in graphics settings there's one on PC for FPS, and I know there's a counter somewhere for upload/download but idk where
the 4k icons shouldnt make you lose fps

Sorry but what even is "Draw quality"
It enables reflections of certain surfaces, and slightly improves bump mapping
Interesting
Sorry but yall gotta understand this is probably the best quality MMORPG I've ever played so I'm not used to all this
Next closest being ESO 😂
ARR and HW were made for PS3 so it runs pretty damn smooth
BDO is still cream of the crop for graphics in mmo's but...
Is there a confirmed/rumored date for patch 5.55?
those are the tooltips
Uhh
basically whenever you put your mouse over an action or item
that's where the information box for it will appear, is wherever the item help or action help HUD element is
are there anymore mounts in msq after magitek,manacutter,midgardsormr and yol?
nope
100%? because when i got mana cutter i think i asked the same question and people said there arent anymore after mana and i got 2 more
yol is the last mount given via the msq
why does the channel for like theory crafting and 6.0 appear and disappear
Theorycrafting is fine in #archived-lore-spoilers
ty
If you mean a channel more for gameplay and story events when 6.0 comes out there will be a dedicated channel for it
No, they have a respawn timer of 2 hours or so.
But you should be able to farm up the monsters to have it spawn when the timer is up
So my friend bought me the skip for ARR, I'm not sure how to level up anymore. Any tips/Suggestions?
I just started out and skipped the quests so I'm unsure what to do.
if your friend bought you msq skip and not level skip then he shot you in the foot.
MSQ is the best way to level your first class.
Yeah I'm kinda stuck lol
Follow the guide above.
But since it's your first class, you'll be gaining exp at half the normal rate.
If you wanna skip, buy both the msq skip and the level skip.
Buying one and not the other is just giving you more hassle.
Honestly I'd even recommend starting a new character and doing MSQ.
Yeah I will try to get the level skip, it's the one hero's journey right?
yes
If I get the level skip do I follow the guide and continue forward?
No, it's because you need to do double to level 50 as that's assuming you have the armory bonus
Yeah that's unfortunate
You do MSQ.
You buy level skip up to the point where you skipped MSQ to
and then do the rest of the MSQ
you cannot skip the current expansion's MSQ, and you cannot skip all the way to level cap.
I recommend you just play the MSQ instead of wasting your money
MSQ and level skips aren't recommended for new players, they're more of an alt thing
So make a new character?
yeah

Here I am, hours later, still cant decide on race. What race does everyone play and why?
Lalafell because they have nice emote animations
A nice amount of exaggeration and character to them
Hyur because they have the most glam options and I like being a normal dude in a fantasy setting
All races basically have the same amount of glamour options.
...besides Viera and Hrothgar for missing a majority of headpieces
Yeah but the most options that look good
viera because i couldnt choose between being an edgelord au ra or pretty bunny so i settled for edgelord bunny
returning player here, inbetween HW and SB expansions - should I play a DPS through the story for the exp, and level tank through the side/roulettes if i want to try gunbreaker?
if you want the dps
i dont remember how slow it is leveling outside of story / how bad are the queues for dps now?
like 15-20 mins
hmm not too different from when i last played then, thanks
What I like about the au ra are the eyes lol and the animations so far (female)
Oh yeah a lot of au ra players too
Im tempted to play hrothgar because i dont see many tho
Can you use Novice Network if you don't toggle on the Burger King Crown?
normally i'd play a human but not sure i like them here
Yes.
Nice
Are there any tangible benefits to unlocking past expansion alliance raids apart from experiencing new raids & the 1st time tomestone bonus it gives you?
Glam, minions, orchestrions, you call it
I had a WAR in my Prae run with an absolutely massive axe that glowed a dark red and black
Any idea what that glam might've been?
No it was a one-sided axe iirc
!iglam seeing horde axr
Azura why do you know the names of these things
I am a glamourologist like Teddy

that's a pretty popular glamour
seeing horde weapons have become more popular since their prices absolutely tanked
what coffer are from Kupo stamp?
casual and hraesvelgr
And kupo
outside of them, anything worth the to craft lv80 skybuilder item for?
The emotes and outfits bought with scrips can be good sellers
Like the one that’s a tanktop with tattoo
Also the “Skysteel” materials (cloth/ingot/silk) are used to craft the replica sky pirate and skyrat stuff
Which can be even more profitable in terms of profit per scrip
Squadroj question. Trying to get the captain rank unlocked and eventually 10 command missions for emotes. I've cleared halatali, tam Tara and Brayflox already.
Are there any recommended dungeons to cheese through, especially for getting the 10 command missions emtes?
Stone vigil is a pretty fast and straightforward dungeon
My squad almost wiped from the brayflox dragon poison even though I'm actively moving them away from poison pools, don't want to encounter a difficult mechanic to juggle with them
I'll try this out
hello is there a way to zoom in and out of the character portrait with a controller when i try something on ?
There's an option within the window. Should he the 3rd or 2nd button from the bottom right
Then you zoom with l1+ right stick
Can rotate too
And shift up and down when you're zoomed in
oh ty! ^^
whats the lowest level you can get a mount?
sorry.. whats msq
Can I use a Chocobo if I stabled it to change its colors?
@slow isle got tk wait the 6 hours in the stable
ahhh okay ty
I just did mine haha
yeah i've been focusing on those because i think i over leveled a bit
being overleveled isn't a bad thing
yeah, i suppose but i'm 24 doing 16 on my main story now
Thats not too bad at all
Just have to get used to level sync locking you out of skills you already have
i'm a glad.. so i basically just smash 3 buttons in total right now
aside from my buffs ;x
Below 50, we really don't have much to work with sadly 🤣
Hi I just joined the free trial, I'm wondering I want to add friends in RL who also have free trial, can I just buy the expansion or do I need a monthly sub?
If you want to remove the trial restrictions then you have to buy the game.
can I set my apartment to friend's only?
Buying the game and paying a monthly sub go hand in hand, there's no choosing one or the other.
Nope only public or completely private
deng it yoshi
You can't just buy the expansion, you need the base game too.
So you can either buy Starter Edition (base game) + Shadowbringers Standard Edition separately
or buy Shadowbringers Complete Edition which is the full game.
Note if you only buy Starter Edition, then you will no longer have the trial restrictions on trade, friends, inviting to parties etc.
But you don't get access to any new content
Do you need to buy a monthly fee on top of buying the starter edition?
It's still just all the content that's available in the free trial.
Or is the free trial still active up to 60"?
Once you buy the game you are no longer on the free trial, period.
Your purchase of starter edition will include the first month's sub payment in the price
So you get the first month of sub "free"
after that you have to keep up the monthly payments.
If you only buy Starter Edition and nothing else, you're still limited to a level 60 cap and Heavensward content.
Starter Edition is basically just removing the trade/social restrictions of the free trial
nothing else.
What's the fastest possible way to raise Miner from like, 15-16 to 80?
Ohhh I see
Thanks
So if we stop paying the monthly fee after the first month do we go back to free trial?
No
You don't have access
You go to not being able to play
Do your daily Grand Company provisioning turn-ins, and then do leves and/or Ishgardian Restoration
There is no going back to the free trial.
Once you buy the game you have to pay the subscription or you can't log in.
Should I ask questions about how Ishgardian restoration? Or should I just look up a guide. Because it seems simple but could be complicated

Ishgardian Restoration for gatherers is just going to the Diadem and grinding by mining stuff.
Is it worthwile to desynth dungeon loot or just sell it (with the intend to make money)?
I'm not even sure I have Ishgardian restoration unlocked
It's not as fast as leves, but it also leaves you with materials you can use to do Ishgardian Restoration crafting stuff.
OH. I have a good question.
Is there a level rq for ishgardian restoration?
Or can I just go in with a level 1 gatherer
Ishgardian Restoration requires you to have a level 60 combat class and to have completed post-Heavensward MSQ patch 3.3 (i.e. have beaten the Final Steps of Faith)
Lvl 10
I think I've done that...
So all I gotta do is get BTN to 10 then..
Is there a limit to the amount of times you can do things in Ishgard rest per day?
Nope
So, hypothetically speaking
But it does slow down after like lvl 30
If I did nothing but Ishgardian Restoration on Miner for say, like, 16 hours straight
Where would I be, like super rough estimate?
56
Nah I can endure an absurd amount of monotony.
Literally I did NOTHING but fishing for 3 days straight and got to 80
I can deal
I'm determined to get these gathering classes to 80.
In terms of what the item themselves give it’s usually not good money
Now if you did 16 hours of leves it would be 80 no problem
But dungeon gear is a cheap/free way of leveling up desynth
if you just want gathering leveling speed then do leves
Roundabout how many allowances?
I have 100
Hmm... 50?
Alright thanks^^
if you want to level both gathering and crafting then I'd recommend ishgard resto because it's just convenient
If you start around lvl 30 since that’s when they get really good
How many do you think it would take if I did, say, ishgard to 40-50
Then leves to 80
40
I'm trying to mathematically add up how I can get botanist and miner both to 80 in one week.
With a survival manuel leves are insane
Just get to 30 by gathering stuff from the log, then go hog wild on leves, with food, a lvl 80, and manuels
For a like 200% boost
is technical espirit only good for saber dance?
What food?
Any
And a level 80?
Yes, the armory bonus
u get armory buff when your character is lowert than your main
Ooh!
the higher your main the more xp u gain in the buff
So ideally I should get my Paladin to level 80? Or because I have Fisher at level 80 would I still get the bonus?
The armoury bonus does not affect crafters and gatherers.
anyone know what e spirirt gauge is used for apart from saber dance?
Like a dish name I can make/buy?
Nothing
Any really
literally taking notes
what is the buff for technical step @modest igloo
!action technical finish
Delivers an attack to all nearby enemies. Potency varies with number of successful steps, dealing full potency for the first enemy, and 75% less for all remaining enemies.
0 steps: 500
1 step: 750
2 steps: 1,000
3 steps: 1,250
4 steps: 1,500 Step Bonus: Grants Technical Finish and Esprit to self and party members Damage bonus of Technical Finish varies with number of successful steps.
1 step: 1%
2 steps: 2%
3 steps: 3%
4 steps: 5%
Duration: 20s
Additional Effect: Activates the Esprit Gauge
Triggers the cooldown of weaponskills, step actions, and finish actions upon execution. Cannot be executed during the cooldown of weaponskills, step actions, or finish actions.
※This action cannot be assigned to a hotbar.
5% damage buff for 20 seconds
How do I change Hotbar 4 to be class specific and not cross-class? I currently have Warrior skills I don't need as a black mage
the food is just for the 3% exp buff which all food gives. You can literally buy a stack of boiled eggs from starting city vendors for like 5 gil each.
Character config > hotbar settings > shared
does it stack with standard step?
Yes.
ok thanx
@obsidian patio Thank you
Wrong reply but yes

So
From what I'm reading, I should save leveling Carpenter/Armorer/Blacksmith/Alchemist for when I do restoration since they get their items from Miner and Botanist which I'll be training. (I looked up a thing)
I leveled all my crafters in their, since I think all of them get stuff from the gatherers
Welp, gonna pick that recruitment notice up off the wall when I get home.
Since evidently restoration gives mounts, and I'm always down to farm something for a mount.
That's like, 90% of why I did ocean voyage
Lv 80 Fisher was just a consequence of the mount hunt
You don’t get many scrips for leveling, really only from lvl 80 crafts
But I still do get some
Not enough
Which adds up when I'm doing 7 classes.
Maybe 2-300 out of like 8K
Hmm... How long would lv 70 to 80 take in restoration?
Assuming you have food, a macro, and gear, 2-3 hours for a class
Iirc
Someone double check me on that
Ishgard items are craftable at levels 20, 40, 60, 70, and 80.
Yep
Only 2-3 hours?
Where do I get Sack of Nuts and how do I unlock those vendors?
Dang
For 1 class
i have not done any of the crafter quest after level 50. with my level 71 WVR how far will all those quests from 50 to 70 get me
Via auto synth
Quick synth is horrible experience
You can’t use that
I'd guess 74?
It’s a collectable
oh my goodness
Ishgard is all about Collectibles
I'm guessing, based on what I did for fisher
Unlock Clan Nutsy hunts in the Crystarium, which requires unlocking Clan Centurio in Ishgard, which requires unlocking Allied Hunts at your grand company once you reach the rank of 2nd Lieutenant
Because quest exp for later class quests is kinda broken
Collectibles changed a few patches ago
i wish i could go from 70 to 80 in a day crafting
We have a hunt unlock faq if I can remember the command
I'm planning on spending my 4 days off work doing nothing but grinding gatherer and crafter classes.
Goal is omni
Gatherer collectables at least, crafters are same as usual
same, i think this week i’ll do just that
They are? Good to know
Ishgard was better when the materials were dirt cheap due to people doing it to build the firmament
i have never touched leves tho so i prob have zero allowances
You have 100
You have 100 if you never touched them
You start capped
There’s guides to also stretch out allowances with the triple turn ins
I have zero shame in saying I paid for levekits for weaver using triple turn ins
what is a triple turn in
Took like, 18 allowances to get from 30 to 70
You turn in 3 items instead of 1
naniiii
Triple turn ins are leves that basically let you complete it three times.
Yeah, and time consumed? Like 40 minutes.
For 1 allowance
That’s with Road to 70, I assume?
Nope
holy fawk
Just triple turn ins

i have road to 70
Add in manuals on top and they are insane
Triple turn ins and manuals
oh nvm i don’t anymore
Manuals don’t work on leves
wasted manuals
Fuckin
Just triple turn ins then I guess.
Really
can you only do triple turn ins or is it random
Only the direct experience from crafting/gathering the item
May have been 22 leves or so, it was like 18-23, somewhere in that range
Crafter leves are pre-set
From 30 to 70
Some are plain single turn-in, some are triple, and some in ARR are a “courier” where you go from the city state to a town in the overworld
Or vice versa
Do we have a discord that’s like the balance but for crafting?
Oh and you should know high quality items on leves awards double XP for the turn in, turning in 3 is effectively 6x exp
The Balance.
ok so let’s say right now i’m gonna start with my level 30 LTW, what leves do i do
Uhhh...
Ugh their guides were not well made, but good to know
if it’s not hq i never turn it in
There’s also the #doh-dol-lounge channel here
Ye
These are the leve plates for triple turn-in leves
You can see the plate of a leve when you look at it from the leve person
There’s the teamcraft discord but it’s much more specialised and high-end. People who go there with basic non-super-optimisation-related questions can actually end up getting banned because it’s not the scope of the channel.
Yeah makes sense
ok are the level 30 leaves at a major city ?
Best one for 30-35 is called "Just Cinch It"
1-50 are at the main cities and are also spread through the ARR zones
Oh and this but I dunno how active it is https://discord.gg/cRBVPvd
Oh nice!
At level 20 the overworld leves converge into singular areas instead of being spread based on region.
20 and 25 are in Quarrymill
30 is in Costa Del Sol
35 is in Coerthas Central Highland by the observatory
40 is in Whitebrim
45 is in Mor Dhona
But sometimes home leves award more exp from 30-45 or so
Depends on the class
Like goldsmith in Ul'dah
My personal path was ishgard crafters to 50 and then leves
ok this is good
I will follow in your footsteps
50 is where leve exp starts to get real good.
Look for a good macro on google and watch the game play itself
stop your turning me on
XD
Do you have any of your old macros?
Or a place you used for yours?
#doh-dol-lounge has a pin with a link for leveling rotations
is there a way to hide names on controller like holding x on kb+m ?
But being serious, leves from 50 to 70 actually take like 15 minutes.
what is omni
i assumed since i gotta grab mats probably
Omnicrafter = lv 80 all crafting classes
I dunno if Omnigatherer is a thing
But it sounds neat
advanced melding on 80 gear requires only one class at 80 ?
I dunno what melding is. :D
like putting materia on and over capping on materia
Yes
ok
I have a lot to learn.
Pentamelding is BiS for crafters when making exarchic and tonics and raid food
What can I do with old materia like the STR, INT, MIND materia and stuff?
ok a question lets say i have a NA account but my friend uses a EU account, we can still play together?
can take it to mutamix in central thanalan to transmute it into some new materia
yes
oh great
Thanks!
just make suer oyu have characters on the same data center
That's a thing?
So all the IV and V materia I have can actually be useful for something?
you basically blend 5 materia to get 1 that you don't have
its a good way to make some crafter/gatherer materia which is always used no matter the grade
yup
you're always guaranteed a materia of the same grade, but it can randomly upgrade materia to the next tier
Oooh
You also never get the materia you feed in back, so ideally you feed 5 different types for every exchange
5 that I don't want for one I do?
Potentially, yes.
there are more than 5 kinds of materia so you're not guaranteed to get something you want
but it does narrow your chances down a bit

how do you unlock diadem once you do Towards the Firmament again?
Talk to one of the NPCs in the tent west of the bulletin board in the firmament
Character config > IIRC the target settings of control
Was in system settings and couldn't find, gonna look there then
What's direct chat btw?
its for controllers
Where pressing any key on the keyboard types it
Instead of needing to press enter to start typing
But yes, very much for controllers
Ping on the JP servers is now significantly lower than when I started playing last year on NA servers. Are my two options home world transfer or a skip of some sort? (I'm in Australia)
Anyone have a pic of the rDPS ranking?
Just go to FFLOGS and look at the fight of your choice
rDPS rankings vary per fight since downtime can affect each job differently depending on when it happens, how long, and how often
Am I able to transfer between data centers or is it just between home worlds on the same data center?
Home world transfer works for any server to any server
World visit is locked to the data centre if thats what you're asking
Just asking because buddy is asking what best dps's are now because he's been gone from game for like....1 and a half years
Probably best just to transfer my account then, though I'm tempted to start a new character and skip. I assume the only skip option is the "tales of adventure" that skips 1 class to lvl 70?
Tbh idek what I'm fully looking at on FFLogs but it has them ranked 😂
There's two types of skip, story and job skip
If you want to immediately start at Shadowbringers, you'll need one stormblood skip and one job skip minimum
Both on Mog station? I'd want to skip to at least shadowbringers.
Yes
Both are $25 as well iirc
And the story skip takes you right to the start of ShB
Completely skips ARR, HW and SB
Yikes. Maybe best just to xfer the account 😄
So...looking at FF logs. Why are BLM's parses so low but they're the 2nd highest dps's?
Because it's really easy to play it poorly
Dropping casts, namely
Everything else has a softer floor in comparison. SAM even if you forget Tsubeme exists as long as you midare you still do okay damage
And sorry. The scores equate to what on FFLogs?
And aDPS means personal dps I think?
aDPS is Adjusted DPS
Uh
aka: DPS without accounting for buffs, both to and from the party
Here's the math.
What are orchestrian rolls for? only for bard?
Yea so basically just...personal dps
you can use them to unlock songs for your orchestreon
yes, but no.
They're like soundtracks. You can hear various songs/music from the game on them
oh
Oof math. 😂
and to answer your question for the scores, a score of 100 means that, compared to the 95th percentile, they had a perfect parse
On selfish DPS
aDPS tend to be the metric to look at
Cuz it shows how good are you at sticking to the burst windows
the better you stick to the burst windows, the more rDPS you give to your fellas, and the more aDPS you get
I'm assuming burst windows won't become much of a thing until later content
Because so far most dungeons haven't had like....any of what I'd consider burst windows
Black Mage is always bursting
but otherwise everything is sorta kinda on a minute burst

- RaidDPS (rDPS) is: Your TotalDPS minus the damage from buffs you received plus the damage from buffs you contributed
- Personal DPS (pDPS) is: Your TotalDPS without being adjusted for buffs.
- aDPS is: Your TotalDPS minus single target buffs applied to you (devilment, dragon sight, astro cards, etc)
^ Like Dancer's partner thing for example? Or any personal buffs?
When referring to aDPS
If it’s someone else giving a buff to specifically you and no one else
Yea ok. Gotcha
Where can I trade poetics for Rowena's Tokens? I can't see it under "Other" with Aureiana
wait so how do you get the level 50 weapons?
They come from a repeatable quest where you complete Ifrit/Garuda/Titan Extreme
Bard is Dex>Crit>Direct?
Yes
whats the name of the quest?
!quest Primal Focus
And I think NIN is Dex>Direct>Crit from what I remember?
Crit over direct
Pretty much all jobs want crit first, besides BLMs focusing on spell speed
Alrighty. Appreciate it
Direct increase the chance to do a direct hit, which is a flat 25 percent increase
While crit stat increase the chance to crit
and the DMG of the crit
Dex increases naturally when you get higher item level equipment
Don't really have to focus on it
main stat is basically a way of saying to go for highest item level gear appropriate for your class
It's rare for items of a lower item level to be better.
besides NQ gear, your main stat will always be capped for your currently equipped equipment
I'm enjoying Ninja and Bard so far
But tbh I'm really excited for Dark Knight
And I'm hoping I'm not too much further from it
Not at my console atm but I'm at the MSQ for the first 8 man dungeon. Just did the trial a bit ago
you're about halfway there
o_O
You are
In terms of the number of MSQ left before you can get DRK
About 2/3 of the way through
Wow! Magi tel armor mount has it's own mount music?!,
There's close to 250 MSQs from the very start to when you transition to HW
A lot of mounts have their own music
Cool
Since they are in the 8 man dungeon, I believe they are around 80 msq away
From Heavensward
Yea I'm at "Rock The Castrum"
Even if I get a new mount, summoning a companion is only the chocobo? Or can I summon a new companion too?
Just chocobo
I think two MSQ left in 2.0
only chocobo
Yea only Chocobo is kind of lame tbh 😅
Sad. I think wanna summon magitek armor.
Chocobo is your only combat companion
Which also happens to be a mount
It is not "all mounts can be combat companion"
Unfortunately
Is it worth using the combat companion?
It doesn't hurt
And if you give it healing skills
It is very helpful for you
(even if you play healer)
I see
If you play healer do the dps tree first since you can just heal yourself :^)
dps or tank do healer tree first for chocobro
Ok
It is not like you can't do Dps as a healer
No dont bother with dps chocobo
Chocobo tank no good?
Spec for healer first, then add Dps stuff
got it
Your Dps, even as a healer, out ranks your chocobo
Also. I won't be getting my lvl 52+ abilities until I hit Heartsward?
That's right
This is correct
Oof.
except for Red Mage and Samurai, correct
I'm 80 MSQ's away and have a 56 Bard and a 53 NIN 😂
Pick up more jobs
Tbh there's no other jobs that really spike my interest at least currently
Just got full game tonight
Was on trial for about a week
new to the game wondering if there is anything i should avoid doing if i wanna become a gunbreaker
Hmm, looks like I can't world transfer to Tonberry due to congestion. Any other good options in Japan for OCE English speakers?
I am wondering what are those? which one should I pick? , Am I picking correct things?
highlight the item to see what they are
Kujata I believe is the other English speaking server
the ones on the left are tokens you can consume to gain MGP
tonberry would probably be open if you wait for off-peak
Also doesn't allow new characters so no transfers 😄
the middle tokens, along with the right one for 3-lines, are certificates you can give to Khloe for rewards.
it's mostly materia tokens and minions, and a few mounts for gold certificates
Does the status change through the day? https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/worldstatus/
you mean tokens is MGP card ? or other right one ( which is 50 and 500 )?
it’s currently around peak times on elemental i believe since it’s past 6pm in japan so people are home from work
try again in about 5-6 hours?
^
I'll look in the morning
So I started farming poetics on aetherochemical undersized, but I'm not getting any poetics as soon as I finished the dungeon. Anybody know why this is?
!faq communityfinder
You only get the first time poetics for running it undersized
you must complete it synced to earn poetics past the first time
is it correct?
I see
thx
if the items from the certificates are what you want, then yes.
is actually focusing on 1 job and not leveling anything else a bad thing?
exit the reward window and choose the other options from Khloe to see what you can get from the bronze and silver tokens
no.
The game is perfectly playable with just one job.
I actually I dont know what I want with 1 line 2 line 3 line...I pick map from 9 seals...
Look at the certificate exchange window and see if there's a thing you want 🙂
i heard some of my friends saying that i will overlevel but i dont feel like getting into other stuff yet
Also as a note, but the Revelation tomestones from Khloe still obey the weekly tomestone cap, so picking those when you already got 450 this week is pointless.
yeah the story gives a ton of experience if you only use one job
but you unlock things as you play that help with leveling up extra jobs.
and there's an inherent EXP bonus for jobs that aren't your highest level job
Why is my character casting Fire when I open gpose while literally doing nothing
do /sit before gposing
it must’ve been the last action you performed
then stand back up
Oh that worked
Is it worth using Swiftcast on Fire or Fire II at the start of my THM rotation to get the Astral Fire stack up quicker
!faq blmleveling
18 THM
I just unlocked both Swiftcast and Fire II
then yeah there’s not much you can hold swift for except fire lmfao
is it bad only doing the main quest line and no other quests along the way?
somewhat, yes.
At the extreme minimum you also need to do your class and job quests for the actions you learn from them.
Is Fire II centered on myself like Blizzard II is or is it centered on whatever I'm targeting
I've been repeating the idea that , while subscription money goes to SE, the Online Shop's income goes to the dev team in its entirety. The quote seems to come from Yoshi P, but seems to be waay many years ago. Any ideas where to look? Could it be during the liveletters prior to Heavensward or when the shop was first introduced?
around your target enemy
@dire prawn Target.
@halcyon rune It's been a good while since we've heard anything about that, so I can't tell you for sure.
It took me four casts of B2 to figure out it was a melee range AoE
F2 and B2 suck, you literally stop using them later on. I kinda wish B2 was targeted again and got upgraded to Freeze at some point. I have no idea about F2 tho.
B2 sucks
I'm almost inclined to straight up not use it and just toss out two or three casts of B1 instead then Transpose back into F2 spam
can you spend allegory before completing SB? I'm only at the post-SB MSQs and I already have 1600ish allegories
nope
B1 as well, it is replaced by B3, no reason to use B1. I wish as well that B1 gets upgraded to B3.
B1 more gets replaced by B4, not B3
So what do I do? lol
can't do anything but keep going through the story until you can spend them.
which is completing the shadowbringers leveling story
Level another job?
isnt allegory lv 80 tomes? so you can use a non 80 job instead to take advantage of all that exp too ¯_(ツ)_/¯
That's... a good idea lol
I can spend them once I complete the final quest of SB right? The final msq called "Shadowbringers"?
Yes
For future reference, Shadowbringers shorthand is ShB
SB is taken, by Stormblood
I see, makes sense
hey are enemy AOEs executed the moment the telegraph vanishes or is there a delay? or in other words when is it safe to return into a telegraphed area?
There can be a connection-based delay of up to a second or two. You can certainly go in while the animation's running.
Once the animation starts, you're safe, in my experience.
You can walk into the visual effects
Also, even if you walk out, after circle is gone, but animation is not done, you'd still take damage
That greatly depends on the attack
There's a lot of attacks that you can walk back in to be "visually" hit but be completely fine.
Single hit AOE check for hit when the cast finishes
If you linger in and out the edge of the AOE, or walk out just before the cast finish
Your character might be outside, but the game might think otherwise thanks to latency
My more common issue is that I think I got clear, but because of the lag, the game disagrees. (I'm currently on the wrong side of the ocean for my data center.)
This also applies to any "look away" mechanics
Yeah, I've started just looking away as soon as I see the eye there.
The DPS gain from continuing to cast is not worth the damage and (usually) status effects.
Emphasizing this one more time
Because of how this game works
AOE are resolved when the cast finishes (also the same time when the AOE marker disappear)
There's no cheap shot (afaik) that hits a few frames late
Is there any sort of popular Discord that functions kind of like PF? I've checked out the recruitment channel & subreddit, but not a whole in the way of Discords there... it's always just statics or FCs. I'd like to hop in a Discord that's relevant to my server pool and go from there? Is there anything like this?
where do I use these? https://i.imgur.com/XZpZrKq.png
eulmore > materia trader
oh didn't unlock it yet.. that's so far in msq
@tacit terrace only for super specific content like treasure maps or hunts, and even then they may not exist for your datacenter
hmm, i see. Ok thank you!
@tacit terrace not strictly correct, there is a materia trader in the Crystarium
didn't unlock that either
if I remember right, they should be within eyeshot of the Musica Universalis (?) waypoi-
ah
in that case yeah just forget about them
hey guys so i was playing on castrum lacus litore as a sch with essence of veteran. I LB3 during brionac fight bc my team was dead, but it didn't work?? like, no one got the raise prompt. One of my teammates said "that's not a healer lb" but didn't elaborate further. Anyone knows what's all about?
essence affects nothing
you either accidentally pressed lb2, forgot you were a summoner or something, or outranged your team
LB3 has a range of 50 yards or so and a lot of the playspaces in CLL are a lot larger than that
25 yalms but yes
hm... weird, there were a few ppl around me tho dead
like they were easily within range
were they in your party
they weren't necessarily your party
aight then might've been lb2 
frankly, i know no issues of healer LB3 not affecting people who are very dead, in your party, right next to you
so I can only suggest it was an accidental lb2
i guess so, i thought iwas lb2 but someone said it was lb3
if you didn't get an animation where seraph flew down and danced around you
i ended up questioning my eyesight
that's lb2
and left you animation locked til hell froze over
aight maybe i just miscalculated the distance
well we didnt wipe so all well that ends well 
Has it always been seraph in sch’s LB3? even before shB?
yes
Yeah?
it's so dope
So do the "your party" things really only affect your party, not the rest of the PCs in the raid? I could swear I've seen Afflatus Rapture hit other parties near me.
Of course, it's also possible their healer was healing at the same time.
direct targeted healing spells can affect other alliance members
direct target buffs cannot
aoe heals and buffs cannot
case in point, I can heal alliance B's tank using cure 2. I can't heal them with Medica 2, and I can't apply Divine Benison or Excogitation to them
Seeing that LB3 is a partywide Full-Life with no Weakness penalty, would LB2 be too op if it was a partywide normal Raise? Like, make LB2 the same as using Raise on every single party member with the standard Weakness debuff.
Dont think you can beat dps check with 7 weakness
I guess everyone tends to heal the big raidwide damage at the same time. Makes sense.
So might be nice for progging but eh ...
Healer LB1 and 2 are the most useless of them, while LB3 is the most useful one.
I still remember the 8-player raid where I was the only one standing, set off LB3 to rez everyone... and promptly died.
Hi, do I have to do relic quest chain again when I change to another class?
But it worked! I'd done it in time! It just didn't help me.
@dense bronze yes, each job's relic is their own
but for the relics that aren't A Realm Reborn, you can "Stockpile" the items needed for the most part.
I see, so I will do a relic quest chain for my main class only.
you should look up their appearances in advanced
then do the good looking ones to you
my main class is white mage, and I like the appearance of thyrus nexus
Just to make it clear
Relic are for fashion
Don't grind relic for stats
Also, good choice
liking the relic for your main job is great so go ahead. Get that cane xD
I grind relic quest just for appearance, it really beautiful

Does healer LB2 restore mp aswell?
nope, just hp
clarification: before the LB revamp back in... Heavensward, I believe?
what was sch’s lb3 back then?
white mage's
Tanks used Paladin, Healers and Bard used WHM, BLM/SMN used BLM, DRG/MNK/NIN used MNK
so did we know Seraph’s name is .. Seraph back then? pre ShB
But I didn't know that so many jobs shared LB3
nah it was just a thing
i know a couple of people who referred to ultimate faerie as Lily, given the sch questline
but not actually canon, no
There's only four LB3s, I think - healer, tank, melee DPS, ranged DPS.
Should I do all sidequests I find or should I focus only on MSQ? It's my first character, I'm level 24 now
Only focus msq
Msq
Pick up
as you see them as they unlock extra content
are ignorable
are worth doing if you feel like it
otherwise, msq is sufficient for xp and you won't miss much
Because I am actually having a lot of fun doing sidequests and exploring the world
you can do if you want to kill time when waiting for dungeon queue
Important
are the ones from your class guild as they give you spells and unlock your job to learn more spells
Ok so I should do MSQ and Blue quests? Are all quests with the "+" icon blue quests?
The quest below the main scenario quest should take priority
As that should be your job quests and most of your abilities are locked behind those
it's also quests that unlock important side content, like your mount and dyeing your gear
plain sidequests rarely unlock anything noteworthy, as if they do they'd be marked as a
instead
Concerns about wasting the EXP - once you hit level cap, they stop awarding it, and you could use that on an alternate class.
I did mine when they unlocked, though, and I don't actually regret it. It made the setting feel more alive and real.
any sidequest with unlocks or rewards are usually marked with 
that's what I am liking a lot so far. Even if they are sidequests they are well written
told you all I could stay up for 26 hours and I only got 8/9 memories from the queues
it's broken
There's sometimes some hidden ones, like Lali-Ho, which is hidden behind a yellow quest chain after you to the blue quest to unlock the aether current
I think that's now marked as a
since it's tied to dwarf beast tribe unlock?
i'd have to double check
Oh yeah, you're right
and then some slightly sneaky hidden ones like the moogle beast tribe, which frankly requires summoning exodia before starting
but yeah, emote-giving quests are usually plain sidequests
yeah the moogle beast tribe quest chain is the main exception
and I didn't read any of your messages after I left 24 hours ago so I told you so it's broken
I have no idea what your question is about.
i guess it was about droprate of memories from fates
which sucks
points for effort on demonstrating it sucks, but
I can't figure out what this skill does. If I use it on a tank, does it heal tank or?
yes
basically it's a single target regen which puts a tether between your tank and your fairy
it isn't particularly strong, it's worth considering as a targeted Embrace
it will then consume 10 gauge every 3 seconds until you disable it
refer to
Ahh gotcha, thanks for the clarification
!action fey union
Gradually restores HP of party member with which faerie has a Fey Union.
Cure Potency: 400
Faerie Gauge is depleted while HP is restored. Fey Union effect fades upon execution of other faerie actions. Party member must be within 15 yalms.
※This action cannot be assigned to a hotbar.
Doesn't seem that worthwhile
tbh, considering gauge is used for that and fey blessing
it's useful if you need a consistent tank heal
because they removed the ability to manually embrace
it's worth just using on the basis you're not using it for much else
and it's very easy to acquire gauge
That last bit of within 15 yalms is important btw. If the tank runs away, fairy wont heal ...
Tanks shouldn't be running anywhere 90% of the time
15 yalms radius is larger than it seems
as long as they're not being a dumbass it's more than enough
fairy will also move to within 15yrds of the target when aetherpact is commanded, incidentally
so if they're out of range initially, expect them to relocate
it's not really an issue unless you've then moved the fairy out of range of the majority of the party somehow
Let's face it you're not going to spend gauge on anything else and it's automatic
i mean just keep the range limit in mind; it’s not a problem often but it can be ¯_(ツ)_/¯
yeah. fey blessing has a long cd and is a small effect in itself
(never figured that. why the hell is it a 60sec cd for a 350 pot heal?)
because scholar isn't allow to spam AoE healing abilities I guess
Considering you build up that gauge only to see it disappear in a few seconds on some small regen is ehhh
Halp
Yeah, but considering it's a relatively small heal and also spends secondary gauge, you'd expect even just 30sec
What's the command for the limitations on the trial?
regardless, whatever
Gonna send to a friend
