The beta is the game

#

Just on ps5

hollow briar
#

Ah kk. Ok so I guess I'm good 😅

tacit venture
#

and uh..how many book of litany are acquired per clear / week ?

faint flare
#

1

tacit venture
#

ohh boy

faint flare
#

They're your totems basically

modest igloo
tacit venture
#

welp here goes the long grind just for the gloves T_T

#

ahh okay thank you

faint flare
#

Just win the roll 5head

tacit venture
#

oh right, there's a possible chest reward for the gloves straight up too?

faint flare
#

Yes

tacit venture

!faq savageloot

What floors of savage drop which items?

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

tacit venture
#

as you can tell I haven't done savage in quite a long time..last one was like

#

the very first eden

faint flare
#

It literally hasn't changed

#

The great formula is never wrong

tacit venture
#

oki doki I appreciate the helps 😄

#

time to watch videos a billion times before attempting

hollow briar
#

Sorry 1 last question. Where are the expansion upgrades found in the mogstation?

#

Like ARR Collectors, Shadowbringer Collectors etc

remote lintel
#

the first page on mog station

hollow briar
#

Derp yea sorry. I was on the online store. Not mogstation

frozen wind
#

does ff14 have a social hub like battlenet where i can talk to people on my friendslist outside of the game

robust crow
#

yeah it's called discord

frozen wind
#

no i mean like, how blizzard has a social tab and can talk to people on the battlenet app

robust crow
#

ff14 communities really depend on discord to work

frozen wind
#

ahh

robust crow
#

that was a facetious answer

#

the real answer is no

#

there isn't

manic flare
#

why is this guy so popular?

frozen wind
#

blue mages?

#

The guy does have mind blast

manic flare
#

spawned in 6 worlds in crystal DC in span of 5 minutes

faint flare
#

His window was probably up

#

So people just went to kill him

manic flare
#

like a player has to do specific things to spawn them

faint flare
#

Not all need player input

manic flare
#

so this guy doesn't ?

faint flare
#

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.

azure hound
#

How do you check you rep with a beast tribe?

hollow briar
#

Any chat options I need to filter out that really aren't needed so I can reduce the chat log spam some?

frozen wind
#

In the chat tab, theres a option to filter only /say /party chat

faint flare
hollow briar
frozen wind
#

go to the bottom of your chat tab and it should be located to filter somewhere there

azure hound
#

Is doing dailys the only way to get beast tribe rep?

remote lintel
#

click the cog icon next to chat

faint flare
#

Yes you do their daily quests

hollow briar
#

And idk what all is needed and isn't really

frozen wind
#

well if you only want party

#

just toggle party chat

remote lintel
#

^

frozen wind
#

otherwise thats all you're seeing

hollow briar
#

Like "Cross-World Linkshell"

remote lintel
#

those are private chats

hollow briar
#

Ah ok

honest anvil
#

Does neutral sect boost my regens’ potency? And the horoscope heal?

faint flare
#

!action Neutral sect

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Neutral Sect** : lvl 80 AST (120.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Increases healing magic potency by 20%.
Additional Effect: Aspected Helios and Aspected Benefic receive the effects of both Diurnal Sect and Nocturnal Sect
Duration: 20s

faint flare
#

Yes

honest anvil
#

Does it matter when my regen or horoscope are applied?

faint flare
#

Yes, cause things snapshot

#

It checks your buffs on application

analog gate
#

it won't affect horoscope, only GCD heals

#

!faq healingup

Healing Up Buffs

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)

analog gate
#

ie. it won't affect regen from celestial opposition, but will buff aspected helios

honest anvil

Thank you

What are some fun mounts I can casually get

#

I tried great hunt ex solo but it's too much for me

remote lintel

behemoth from the achievement guy

'The Palace of Lost Souls'

#

Is this the optional Ruby Sea dungeon unlock?

obsidian patio
#

Yes

dire prawn
#

nice

#

Is there a mount spreadsheet on where to unlock all available mounts?

faint flare

This site has all mounts

leaden ginkgo

Ty

crimson crystal

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.

leaden ginkgo
#

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 ?

faint flare
faint flare
#

All we know is that it's gonna use maiming

leaden ginkgo
#

i could have sworn, ok thanks

faint flare
#

So heavy strength armour like drg

hard elm
#

Ah, that makes sense. Thanks. 🙂

hollow briar
#

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

faint flare
#

You can increase those individually

#

Just select them by pressing the touchpad then R3

hollow briar
#

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

modest igloo
#

i mean, you just did. 100% looks cleaner to you

#

makes sense to me

remote lintel
#

you can try enabling the 4k ui resolution

hollow briar
modest igloo
#

it didn't affect my FPS at all on my laptop

hollow briar
#

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

modest igloo
#

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

remote lintel
#

the 4k icons shouldnt make you lose fps

hollow briar
#

Sorry but what even is "Draw quality"

leaden ginkgo
#

It enables reflections of certain surfaces, and slightly improves bump mapping

hollow briar
#

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 😂

modest igloo
#

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...

leaden ginkgo
#

Is there a confirmed/rumored date for patch 5.55?

twilit arch
#

late may

#

from previous experiences, most likely going to be the 25th

hollow briar
#

Uhm

#

Item Help and Action Help does what exactly? I feel like they're unneeded?

twilit arch
#

those are the tooltips

hollow briar
#

Uhh

twilit arch
#

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

fading aurora
#

are there anymore mounts in msq after magitek,manacutter,midgardsormr and yol?

twilit arch
#

nope

fading aurora
#

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

twilit arch
#

yol is the last mount given via the msq

leaden ginkgo
#

why does the channel for like theory crafting and 6.0 appear and disappear

obsidian patio
shy kindle
#

Once you kill a NM can you farm to spawn it right away again?

#

In Eureka

leaden ginkgo
#

ty

obsidian patio
#

If you mean a channel more for gameplay and story events when 6.0 comes out there will be a dedicated channel for it

obsidian patio
#

But you should be able to farm up the monsters to have it spawn when the timer is up

hidden garden
#

So my friend bought me the skip for ARR, I'm not sure how to level up anymore. Any tips/Suggestions?

remote lintel
#

for an alt class?

#

oh

#

!faq altlvlguide

zinc orbitBOT
hidden garden
#

I just started out and skipped the quests so I'm unsure what to do.

jade quartz
#

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.

hidden garden
#

Yeah I'm kinda stuck lol

jade quartz
#

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.

hidden garden
#

Yeah I will try to get the level skip, it's the one hero's journey right?

jade quartz
#

yes

hidden garden
#

If I get the level skip do I follow the guide and continue forward?

slate arrow
#

No, it's because you need to do double to level 50 as that's assuming you have the armory bonus

hidden garden
#

Yeah that's unfortunate

jade quartz
#

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

hidden garden
#

So make a new character?

jade quartz
#

yeah

leaden ginkgo
#

Here I am, hours later, still cant decide on race. What race does everyone play and why?

obsidian patio
#

Lalafell because they have nice emote animations

#

A nice amount of exaggeration and character to them

modest igloo
#

Hyur because they have the most glam options and I like being a normal dude in a fantasy setting

obsidian patio
#

All races basically have the same amount of glamour options.

#

...besides Viera and Hrothgar for missing a majority of headpieces

modest igloo
#

Yeah but the most options that look good

shrewd owl
#

miqo'te because they are cat people

#

i play elezen tho

#

which not many people do...

remote lintel
#

viera because i couldnt choose between being an edgelord au ra or pretty bunny so i settled for edgelord bunny

somber burrow
#

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?

remote lintel
#

if you want the dps

somber burrow
#

i dont remember how slow it is leveling outside of story / how bad are the queues for dps now?

remote lintel
#

like 15-20 mins

somber burrow
#

hmm not too different from when i last played then, thanks

leaden ginkgo
#

What I like about the au ra are the eyes lol and the animations so far (female)

shrewd owl
#

Oh yeah a lot of au ra players too

leaden ginkgo
#

Im tempted to play hrothgar because i dont see many tho

ripe hound
#

Can you use Novice Network if you don't toggle on the Burger King Crown?

leaden ginkgo
#

normally i'd play a human but not sure i like them here

ripe hound
hallow grove
#

where can you buy the mount speed for bozjan?

#

also what do they cost?

ripe hound
#

I think 25 clusters

#

From the NPC that lets you spend Clusters

void cargo
#

Are there any tangible benefits to unlocking past expansion alliance raids apart from experiencing new raids & the 1st time tomestone bonus it gives you?

finite topaz
dire prawn
#

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?

finite topaz
#

Either relic

#

Or Tsukuyomi

#

Those come to mind

jade quartz
#

!iglam ragnarok zeta

#

?

zinc orbitBOT
dire prawn
#

No it was a one-sided axe iirc

finite topaz
#

!iglam seeing horde axr

zinc orbitBOT
dire prawn
#

Azura why do you know the names of these things

finite topaz
#

I am a glamourologist like Teddy

dire prawn
jade quartz
#

that's a pretty popular glamour

remote lintel
#

seeing horde weapons have become more popular since their prices absolutely tanked

plain python
#

what coffer are from Kupo stamp?

west spruce
#

casual and hraesvelgr

crystal bluff
#

And kupo

plain python
#

outside of them, anything worth the to craft lv80 skybuilder item for?

obsidian patio
#

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

upper cove
#

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?

obsidian patio
#

Stone vigil is a pretty fast and straightforward dungeon

upper cove
#

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

cosmic widget
#

hello is there a way to zoom in and out of the character portrait with a controller when i try something on ?

upper cove
obsidian patio
#

Click the eye button on the window

#

And then it should be L1+ the sticks

upper cove
#

Then you zoom with l1+ right stick

#

Can rotate too

#

And shift up and down when you're zoomed in

cosmic widget
#

oh ty! ^^

rancid patrol
#

whats the lowest level you can get a mount?

little swift
#

20

#

in the msq

rancid patrol
#

sorry.. whats msq

slow isle
#

Can I use a Chocobo if I stabled it to change its colors?

little swift
#

your main scenario quests

#

those aren't skippable

upper cove
#

@slow isle got tk wait the 6 hours in the stable

rancid patrol
#

ahhh okay ty

upper cove
#

I just did mine haha

rancid patrol
#

yeah i've been focusing on those because i think i over leveled a bit

little swift
#

being overleveled isn't a bad thing

rancid patrol
#

yeah, i suppose but i'm 24 doing 16 on my main story now

upper cove
#

Thats not too bad at all

#

Just have to get used to level sync locking you out of skills you already have

rancid patrol
#

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?

jade quartz
#

If you want to remove the trial restrictions then you have to buy the game.

rancid gull
#

can I set my apartment to friend's only?

jade quartz
#

Buying the game and paying a monthly sub go hand in hand, there's no choosing one or the other.

obsidian patio
#

Nope only public or completely private

rancid gull
#

deng it yoshi

valid topaz
#

Ohhh I see

#

Thanks

jade quartz
#

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

valid topaz
#

Do you need to buy a monthly fee on top of buying the starter edition?

jade quartz
#

It's still just all the content that's available in the free trial.

valid topaz
#

Or is the free trial still active up to 60"?

jade quartz
#

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.

ebon pumice
#

What's the fastest possible way to raise Miner from like, 15-16 to 80?

valid topaz
#

Thanks

#

So if we stop paying the monthly fee after the first month do we go back to free trial?

hollow briar
#

You don't have access

dire prawn
#

You go to not being able to play

Once you buy the game you have to pay the subscription or you can't log in.

Ishgardian Restoration for gatherers is just going to the Diadem and grinding by mining stuff.

valid topaz
#

Thanks guys

#

Super helpful

hazy tendon
#

Is it worthwile to desynth dungeon loot or just sell it (with the intend to make money)?

ebon pumice
#

I'm not even sure I have Ishgardian restoration unlocked

jade quartz
#

It's not as fast as leves, but it also leaves you with materials you can use to do Ishgardian Restoration crafting stuff.

ebon pumice
#

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

jade quartz
#

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)

modest igloo
ebon pumice
#

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?

jade quartz
#

No

#

Go wild

modest igloo
#

Nope

ebon pumice
#

So, hypothetically speaking

modest igloo
#

But it does slow down after like lvl 30

ebon pumice
#

If I did nothing but Ishgardian Restoration on Miner for say, like, 16 hours straight

jade quartz
#

you would die of boredom and fatigue

#

but you'd level up a lot

ebon pumice
#

Where would I be, like super rough estimate?

modest igloo
#

56

ebon pumice
#

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.

obsidian patio
modest igloo
#

Now if you did 16 hours of leves it would be 80 no problem

obsidian patio
#

But dungeon gear is a cheap/free way of leveling up desynth

jade quartz
#

if you just want gathering leveling speed then do leves

ebon pumice
#

I have 100

modest igloo
#

Hmm... 50?

ebon pumice
#

But also wanna do some tradecraft stuff

#

Oh that should work out then

hazy tendon
#

Alright thanks^^

jade quartz
#

if you want to level both gathering and crafting then I'd recommend ishgard resto because it's just convenient

modest igloo
#

If you start around lvl 30 since that’s when they get really good

ebon pumice
#

How many do you think it would take if I did, say, ishgard to 40-50

#

Then leves to 80

modest igloo
#

40

ebon pumice
#

I'm trying to mathematically add up how I can get botanist and miner both to 80 in one week.

modest igloo
#

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

fading aurora
#

is technical espirit only good for saber dance?

ebon pumice
#

What food?

modest igloo
#

Any

ebon pumice
#

And a level 80?

modest igloo
#

Yes, the armory bonus

ebon pumice
#

Armory...?

#

I feel like solid snake with how little I understand

fading aurora
#

u get armory buff when your character is lowert than your main

ebon pumice
#

Ooh!

fading aurora
#

the higher your main the more xp u gain in the buff

ebon pumice
#

So ideally I should get my Paladin to level 80? Or because I have Fisher at level 80 would I still get the bonus?

jade quartz
#

The armoury bonus does not affect crafters and gatherers.

ebon pumice
#

Ooh. Aww..

#

So manuals and food thenm

#

Specific type of food to eat?

modest igloo
#

Oh right the manual is 150%

#

Mb

fading aurora
#

anyone know what e spirirt gauge is used for apart from saber dance?

ebon pumice
#

Like a dish name I can make/buy?

modest igloo
ebon pumice
#

literally taking notes

fading aurora
#

what is the buff for technical step @modest igloo

obsidian patio
#

!action technical finish

5% damage buff for 20 seconds

azure hound
#

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

jade quartz
# modest igloo Any really

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.

obsidian patio
#

Character config > hotbar settings > shared

fading aurora
#

does it stack with standard step?

obsidian patio
#

Yes.

fading aurora
#

ok thanx

#

@obsidian patio Thank you

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)

modest igloo
#

I leveled all my crafters in their, since I think all of them get stuff from the gatherers

ebon pumice
#

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

modest igloo
ebon pumice
#

But I still do get some

modest igloo
#

Not enough

ebon pumice
#

Which adds up when I'm doing 7 classes.

modest igloo
#

Maybe 2-300 out of like 8K

ebon pumice
#

Hmm... How long would lv 70 to 80 take in restoration?

modest igloo
#

Assuming you have food, a macro, and gear, 2-3 hours for a class

#

Iirc

#

Someone double check me on that

boreal storm
#

Ishgard items are craftable at levels 20, 40, 60, 70, and 80.

modest igloo
#

Yep

ebon pumice
#

Only 2-3 hours?

leaden ginkgo
#

Where do I get Sack of Nuts and how do I unlock those vendors?

ebon pumice
#

Dang

modest igloo
ebon pumice
#

Yeah that's fast

#

Comparatively to like

#

Crafting items

leaden ginkgo
#

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

ebon pumice
#

Via auto synth

obsidian patio
#

Quick synth is horrible experience

modest igloo
modest igloo
#

It’s a collectable

leaden ginkgo
boreal storm
#

Ishgard is all about Collectibles

ebon pumice
#

I'm guessing, based on what I did for fisher

obsidian patio
ebon pumice
#

Because quest exp for later class quests is kinda broken

modest igloo
#

Collectibles changed a few patches ago

leaden ginkgo
#

i wish i could go from 70 to 80 in a day crafting

jade quartz
#

We have a hunt unlock faq if I can remember the command

ebon pumice
#

You can.

#

Ishgardian restoration

modest igloo
#

I did mine in like 40 mins with leves

#

Hell, I even made money on ALC

ebon pumice
#

I'm planning on spending my 4 days off work doing nothing but grinding gatherer and crafter classes.

#

Goal is omni

boreal storm
leaden ginkgo
modest igloo
leaden ginkgo
#

is ishgaurdian rest the best way than

#

then*

ebon pumice
#

Leves.

#

Leves then Ishgard

#

1st and 2nd place

obsidian patio
#

Ishgard was better when the materials were dirt cheap due to people doing it to build the firmament

leaden ginkgo
#

i have never touched leves tho so i prob have zero allowances

ebon pumice
#

You have 100 if you never touched them

modest igloo
#

You start capped

ebon pumice
#

Meaning you can get like...

#

4 crafters to 70-80

#

With enough gil or on-hand mats

modest igloo
#

There’s guides to also stretch out allowances with the triple turn ins

ebon pumice
#

I have zero shame in saying I paid for levekits for weaver using triple turn ins

leaden ginkgo
#

what is a triple turn in

ebon pumice
#

Took like, 18 allowances to get from 30 to 70

modest igloo
#

You turn in 3 items instead of 1

leaden ginkgo
obsidian patio
#

Triple turn ins are leves that basically let you complete it three times.

ebon pumice
modest igloo
#

For 1 allowance

obsidian patio
#

That’s with Road to 70, I assume?

ebon pumice
#

Nope

leaden ginkgo
ebon pumice
#

Just triple turn ins

obsidian patio
leaden ginkgo
#

i have road to 70

modest igloo
#

Add in manuals on top and they are insane

ebon pumice
#

Triple turn ins and manuals

leaden ginkgo
#

oh nvm i don’t anymore

obsidian patio
#

Manuals don’t work on leves

ebon pumice
#

wasted manuals

modest igloo
#

Fuckin

ebon pumice
#

Just triple turn ins then I guess.

modest igloo
#

Really

leaden ginkgo
#

can you only do triple turn ins or is it random

obsidian patio
#

Only the direct experience from crafting/gathering the item

ebon pumice
#

May have been 22 leves or so, it was like 18-23, somewhere in that range

obsidian patio
#

Crafter leves are pre-set

ebon pumice
#

From 30 to 70

obsidian patio
#

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

modest igloo
#

Do we have a discord that’s like the balance but for crafting?

ebon pumice
#

Oh and you should know high quality items on leves awards double XP for the turn in, turning in 3 is effectively 6x exp

leaden ginkgo
#

ok so let’s say right now i’m gonna start with my level 30 LTW, what leves do i do

ebon pumice
#

Uhhh...

modest igloo
#

Ugh their guides were not well made, but good to know

leaden ginkgo
jade quartz
modest igloo
#

Ye

obsidian patio
#

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

jade quartz
#

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.

modest igloo
#

Yeah makes sense

leaden ginkgo
#

ok are the level 30 leaves at a major city ?

ebon pumice
obsidian patio
#

1-50 are at the main cities and are also spread through the ARR zones

ebon pumice
#

It's in Gridania

#

It's a single turn in but yields 94k exp

#

At hq

jade quartz
modest igloo
#

Oh nice!

obsidian patio
#

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

ebon pumice
#

But sometimes home leves award more exp from 30-45 or so

#

Depends on the class

#

Like goldsmith in Ul'dah

modest igloo
#

My personal path was ishgard crafters to 50 and then leves

leaden ginkgo
#

ok this is good

ebon pumice
leaden ginkgo
#

yeah i think i’ll get them all to 50 and then leaves

#

i have one at 60 and 2 at 70

ebon pumice
modest igloo
#

Look for a good macro on google and watch the game play itself

leaden ginkgo
ebon pumice
#

XD

ebon pumice
#

Or a place you used for yours?

modest igloo
#

Nah but google has a ton

#

And that’s how I got mine

obsidian patio
cosmic widget
#

is there a way to hide names on controller like holding x on kb+m ?

ebon pumice
leaden ginkgo
#

what is omni

leaden ginkgo
ebon pumice
#

Omnicrafter = lv 80 all crafting classes

#

I dunno if Omnigatherer is a thing

#

But it sounds neat

leaden ginkgo
#

advanced melding on 80 gear requires only one class at 80 ?

ebon pumice
#

I dunno what melding is. :D

leaden ginkgo
#

like putting materia on and over capping on materia

obsidian patio
#

Yes

leaden ginkgo
#

ok

ebon pumice
#

I have a lot to learn.

modest igloo
#

Pentamelding is BiS for crafters when making exarchic and tonics and raid food

leaden ginkgo
#

What can I do with old materia like the STR, INT, MIND materia and stuff?

tall tulip
#

ok a question lets say i have a NA account but my friend uses a EU account, we can still play together?

little swift
tall tulip
#

oh great

leaden ginkgo
#

Thanks!

little swift
#

just make suer oyu have characters on the same data center

little swift
#

yes

#

its called materia transmutation

ebon pumice
#

So all the IV and V materia I have can actually be useful for something?

little swift
#

you basically blend 5 materia to get 1 that you don't have

ebon pumice
#

Sick.

#

So it's like a gamble?

little swift
#

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

ebon pumice
#

Oooh

obsidian patio
#

You also never get the materia you feed in back, so ideally you feed 5 different types for every exchange

ebon pumice
#

5 that I don't want for one I do?

obsidian patio
#

Potentially, yes.

little swift
#

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

Talk to one of the NPCs in the tent west of the bulletin board in the firmament

Where's the option to toggle enemy hp percentage?

Saw someone having that on stream

obsidian patio

Was in system settings and couldn't find, gonna look there then

#

What's direct chat btw?

remote lintel

its for controllers

obsidian patio

Where pressing any key on the keyboard types it

Instead of needing to press enter to start typing

I see, thanks

Found the hp thing in character then hud settings btw, thanks

#

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)

hollow briar
#

Anyone have a pic of the rDPS ranking?

obsidian patio
#

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

lime geode
#

Am I able to transfer between data centers or is it just between home worlds on the same data center?

slate arrow
#

Home world transfer works for any server to any server

fresh lodge
#

World visit is locked to the data centre if thats what you're asking

hollow briar
#

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

lime geode
#

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?

hollow briar
#

Tbh idek what I'm fully looking at on FFLogs but it has them ranked 😂

slate arrow
#

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

lime geode
#

Both on Mog station? I'd want to skip to at least shadowbringers.

dire prawn
#

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

lime geode
#

Yikes. Maybe best just to xfer the account 😄

hollow briar
#

So...looking at FF logs. Why are BLM's parses so low but they're the 2nd highest dps's?

slate arrow
#

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

hollow briar
#

And sorry. The scores equate to what on FFLogs?

#

And aDPS means personal dps I think?

slate arrow
#

aDPS is Adjusted DPS

hollow briar
#

Uh

slate arrow
#

aka: DPS without accounting for buffs, both to and from the party

#

Here's the math.

mental oracle
#

What are orchestrian rolls for? only for bard?

hollow briar
#

Yea so basically just...personal dps

slate arrow
#

you can use them to unlock songs for your orchestreon

slate arrow
leaden ginkgo
mental oracle
#

oh

slate arrow
hollow briar
#

Oof math. 😂

slate arrow
#

and to answer your question for the scores, a score of 100 means that, compared to the 95th percentile, they had a perfect parse

hollow briar
#

Would assume rDPS would be the more important statistic though no?

#

Gotcha ok

slate arrow
#

yes since that calculates for both buffs you give and damage

#

i think

finite topaz
#

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

hollow briar
#

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

slate arrow
#

Black Mage is always bursting

#

but otherwise everything is sorta kinda on a minute burst

What is the difference between rDPS, pDPS and aDPS on FFLogs?
  • 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)
hollow briar
#

^ Like Dancer's partner thing for example? Or any personal buffs?

#

When referring to aDPS

obsidian patio
#

If it’s someone else giving a buff to specifically you and no one else

hollow briar
#

Yea ok. Gotcha

somber burrow
#

Where can I trade poetics for Rowena's Tokens? I can't see it under "Other" with Aureiana

obsidian patio
#

They don’t exist anymore

#

Unless you mean the ones for the i90 weapons

somber burrow
#

wait so how do you get the level 50 weapons?

obsidian patio
#

They come from a repeatable quest where you complete Ifrit/Garuda/Titan Extreme

hollow briar
#

Bard is Dex>Crit>Direct?

obsidian patio
#

Yes

somber burrow
#

whats the name of the quest?

obsidian patio
#

!quest Primal Focus

zinc orbitBOT

Chronicles of a New Era - Primals | Required Level: 50

Laraina seeks to stock the shelves with more ritual tools.

Quest Starts At

Laraina
Mor Dhona (X: 22.97 Y: 7.29)

Quest Ends At

Laraina
Mor Dhona (X: 22.97 Y: 7.29)

Required Quests

To Tussle with Gods

hollow briar
#

And I think NIN is Dex>Direct>Crit from what I remember?

obsidian patio
#

Crit over direct

#

Pretty much all jobs want crit first, besides BLMs focusing on spell speed

hollow briar
#

Alrighty. Appreciate it

warped nest
#

Direct increase the chance to do a direct hit, which is a flat 25 percent increase

#

While crit stat increase the chance to crit

finite topaz
warped nest
#

And the bonus damage from crit

#

So it is a bigger gain than direct

hollow briar
#

Gotchaaaaa

#

So basically my main priority will be Dex and Crit

warped nest
#

Dex increases naturally when you get higher item level equipment

#

Don't really have to focus on it

obsidian patio
#

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.

slate arrow
#

besides NQ gear, your main stat will always be capped for your currently equipped equipment

hollow briar
#

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

slate arrow
#

you're about halfway there

hollow briar
#

o_O

dire prawn
#

You are

#

In terms of the number of MSQ left before you can get DRK

#

About 2/3 of the way through

devout crystal
#

Wow! Magi tel armor mount has it's own mount music?!,

dire prawn
#

There's close to 250 MSQs from the very start to when you transition to HW

warped nest
#

A lot of mounts have their own music

devout crystal
#

Cool

warped nest
#

Since they are in the 8 man dungeon, I believe they are around 80 msq away

#

From Heavensward

dire prawn
#

Yep

#

From 'The Ultima Weapon' to 'Coming to Ishgard' is 80 MSQ

hollow briar
#

Yea I'm at "Rock The Castrum"

devout crystal
#

Even if I get a new mount, summoning a companion is only the chocobo? Or can I summon a new companion too?

dire prawn
#

Yep

#

You have

warped nest
#

Just chocobo

dire prawn
#

I think two MSQ left in 2.0

slate arrow
#

only chocobo

hollow briar
#

Yea only Chocobo is kind of lame tbh 😅

devout crystal
#

Sad. I think wanna summon magitek armor.

warped nest
#

Chocobo is your only combat companion

#

Which also happens to be a mount

#

It is not "all mounts can be combat companion"

#

Unfortunately

devout crystal
#

Is it worth using the combat companion?

warped nest
#

It doesn't hurt

#

And if you give it healing skills

#

It is very helpful for you

#

(even if you play healer)

devout crystal
#

I see

dire prawn
#

If you play healer do the dps tree first since you can just heal yourself :^)

#

dps or tank do healer tree first for chocobro

devout crystal
#

Ok

warped nest
#

It is not like you can't do Dps as a healer

honest anvil
#

No dont bother with dps chocobo

devout crystal
#

Chocobo tank no good?

dire prawn
#

Yes bother with dps chocobo

#

No

#

tank chocobo is worst chocobo

warped nest
#

Spec for healer first, then add Dps stuff

devout crystal
#

got it

warped nest
#

Your Dps, even as a healer, out ranks your chocobo

hollow briar
#

Also. I won't be getting my lvl 52+ abilities until I hit Heartsward?

warped nest
#

That's right

dire prawn
#

This is correct

hollow briar
#

Oof.

slate arrow
#

except for Red Mage and Samurai, correct

hollow briar
#

I'm 80 MSQ's away and have a 56 Bard and a 53 NIN 😂

#

Pick up more jobs

dire prawn
#

Sounds like a Preferred World

#

Grizzy are you free trial or subbed

hollow briar

Tbh there's no other jobs that really spike my interest at least currently

#

new to the game wondering if there is anything i should avoid doing if i wanna become a gunbreaker

lime geode
#

Hmm, looks like I can't world transfer to Tonberry due to congestion. Any other good options in Japan for OCE English speakers?

leaden ginkgo
#

I am wondering what are those? which one should I pick? , Am I picking correct things?

obsidian patio
#

highlight the item to see what they are

dire prawn
#

Kujata I believe is the other English speaking server

obsidian patio
#

the ones on the left are tokens you can consume to gain MGP

manic rune
#

tonberry would probably be open if you wait for off-peak

lime geode
obsidian patio
#

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

lime geode
dire prawn
#

Yes

#

The status of Worlds changes dynamically every... I believe three minutes

obsidian patio
#

basically every minute or so

#

it's pretty often

leaden ginkgo
obsidian patio
#

the left ones

#

the right rewards for 1 and 2 lines are tomestones

manic rune
#

it’s currently around peak times on elemental i believe since it’s past 6pm in japan so people are home from work

leaden ginkgo
#

is there a way to see free companies recruirting

#

the letter of the mid?

manic rune
#

try again in about 5-6 hours?

lime geode
#

I'll look in the morning

void cargo
#

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?

manic rune
zinc orbitBOT
obsidian patio
#

You only get the first time poetics for running it undersized

#

you must complete it synced to earn poetics past the first time

leaden ginkgo
obsidian patio
#

if the items from the certificates are what you want, then yes.

leaden ginkgo
#

is actually focusing on 1 job and not leveling anything else a bad thing?

obsidian patio
#

exit the reward window and choose the other options from Khloe to see what you can get from the bronze and silver tokens

obsidian patio
#

The game is perfectly playable with just one job.

leaden ginkgo
#

I actually I dont know what I want with 1 line 2 line 3 line...I pick map from 9 seals...

obsidian patio
#

Look at the certificate exchange window and see if there's a thing you want 🙂

leaden ginkgo
#

i heard some of my friends saying that i will overlevel but i dont feel like getting into other stuff yet

obsidian patio
#

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

leaden ginkgo
#

o i see

#

thank

#

Why is my character casting Fire when I open gpose while literally doing nothing

do /sit before gposing

then yeah there’s not much you can hold swift for except fire lmfao

thorny hedge
#

is it bad only doing the main quest line and no other quests along the way?

obsidian patio
#

somewhat, yes.

#

At the extreme minimum you also need to do your class and job quests for the actions you learn from them.

dire prawn
#

Is Fire II centered on myself like Blizzard II is or is it centered on whatever I'm targeting

halcyon rune
#

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?

halcyon rune
#

@dire prawn Target.

dire prawn
#

So it is not like Blizzard II

#

Noice

obsidian patio
#

@halcyon rune It's been a good while since we've heard anything about that, so I can't tell you for sure.

dire prawn
#

It took me four casts of B2 to figure out it was a melee range AoE

halcyon rune
#

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.

dire prawn
#

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

void cargo
#

can you spend allegory before completing SB? I'm only at the post-SB MSQs and I already have 1600ish allegories

obsidian patio
#

nope

halcyon rune
#

B1 as well, it is replaced by B3, no reason to use B1. I wish as well that B1 gets upgraded to B3.

obsidian patio
#

B1 more gets replaced by B4, not B3

halcyon rune
#

Oh yeah.

#

But there's a period pre-B4 that B3 replaced B1.

void cargo
obsidian patio
#

can't do anything but keep going through the story until you can spend them.

#

which is completing the shadowbringers leveling story

honest anvil
#

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)_/¯

void cargo
warped nest
#

Yes

For future reference, Shadowbringers shorthand is ShB

SB is taken, by Stormblood

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?

warped nest
#

When the AOE marker on the ground vanish

#

You can walk back in

pearl mesa
#

There can be a connection-based delay of up to a second or two. You can certainly go in while the animation's running.

warped nest
#

Unless it is some form of flamethrower

#

Or a pulsing attack

#

What Tezli said

marsh veldt
#

oh I see often it looks to me as if the animation takes way longer

#

thanks

pearl mesa
#

Once the animation starts, you're safe, in my experience.

warped nest
#

You can walk into the visual effects

finite topaz
#

Also, even if you walk out, after circle is gone, but animation is not done, you'd still take damage

obsidian patio
#

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.

warped nest
#

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

pearl mesa
#

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.)

warped nest
#

This also applies to any "look away" mechanics

pearl mesa
#

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.

warped nest
#

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

tacit terrace
#

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?

oh didn't unlock it yet.. that's so far in msq

obsidian patio
#

@tacit terrace only for super specific content like treasure maps or hunts, and even then they may not exist for your datacenter

agile laurel
mental oracle
#

didn't unlock that either

agile laurel
#

if I remember right, they should be within eyeshot of the Musica Universalis (?) waypoi-

#

ah

#

in that case yeah just forget about them

rocky reef
#

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?

agile laurel
#

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

slate arrow
#

25 yalms but yes

rocky reef
#

hm... weird, there were a few ppl around me tho dead

#

like they were easily within range

slate arrow
#

were they in your party

agile laurel
#

they weren't necessarily your party

rocky reef
#

but maybe i miscalculated

#

yes in my party

obsidian patio
#

it's tank LB that's like 30/50 yalms

#

or really big

rocky reef
#

aight then might've been lb2 thinking

agile laurel
#

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

rocky reef
#

i guess so, i thought iwas lb2 but someone said it was lb3

slate arrow
#

if you didn't get an animation where seraph flew down and danced around you

rocky reef
#

i ended up questioning my eyesight

slate arrow
#

that's lb2

agile laurel
#

and left you animation locked til hell froze over

rocky reef
#

aight maybe i just miscalculated the distance PepeHands well we didnt wipe so all well that ends well PepeHands

honest anvil
#

Has it always been seraph in sch’s LB3? even before shB?

obsidian patio
#

yes

warped nest
#

Yeah?

rocky reef
#

it's so dope

pearl mesa
#

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.

agile laurel
#

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

halcyon rune
#

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.

honest anvil
#

Dont think you can beat dps check with 7 weakness

pearl mesa
#

I guess everyone tends to heal the big raidwide damage at the same time. Makes sense.

honest anvil
#

So might be nice for progging but eh ...

halcyon rune
#

Healer LB1 and 2 are the most useless of them, while LB3 is the most useful one.

pearl mesa
#

I still remember the 8-player raid where I was the only one standing, set off LB3 to rez everyone... and promptly died.

dense bronze
#

Hi, do I have to do relic quest chain again when I change to another class?

pearl mesa
#

But it worked! I'd done it in time! It just didn't help me.

obsidian patio
#

@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.

dense bronze
#

I see, so I will do a relic quest chain for my main class only.

honest anvil
#

you should look up their appearances in advanced

#

then do the good looking ones to you

dense bronze
#

my main class is white mage, and I like the appearance of thyrus nexus

warped nest
#

Just to make it clear

#

Relic are for fashion

#

Don't grind relic for stats

#

Also, good choice

honest anvil
#

liking the relic for your main job is great so go ahead. Get that cane xD

dense bronze
#

I grind relic quest just for appearance, it really beautiful

Does healer LB2 restore mp aswell?

obsidian patio
#

nope, just hp

slate arrow
honest anvil
#

what was sch’s lb3 back then?

obsidian patio
#

white mage's

slate arrow
#

I believe it just used White Mage's current LB3 animation

#

(Same with Bard :d)

obsidian patio
#

Tanks used Paladin, Healers and Bard used WHM, BLM/SMN used BLM, DRG/MNK/NIN used MNK

warped nest
#

Geez

#

I knew that SMN and BLM uses Meteor in ARR

honest anvil
#

so did we know Seraph’s name is .. Seraph back then? pre ShB

warped nest
#

But I didn't know that so many jobs shared LB3

obsidian patio
#

nah it was just a thing

agile laurel
#

i know a couple of people who referred to ultimate faerie as Lily, given the sch questline

#

but not actually canon, no

pearl mesa
#

There's only four LB3s, I think - healer, tank, melee DPS, ranged DPS.

warm snow
#

I mean all roles share lb1/2 so it makes sense

#

Still nice to have unique lb3s tho

heady carbon
#

Should I do all sidequests I find or should I focus only on MSQ? It's my first character, I'm level 24 now

warm snow
#

Only focus msq

warped nest
#

Msq

warm snow
#

Pick up bluequest as you see them as they unlock extra content

agile laurel
heady carbon
#

Because I am actually having a lot of fun doing sidequests and exploring the world

warped nest
#

sidequest you can do if you want to kill time when waiting for dungeon queue

obsidian patio
#

Important bluequest are the ones from your class guild as they give you spells and unlock your job to learn more spells

heady carbon
#

Ok so I should do MSQ and Blue quests? Are all quests with the "+" icon blue quests?

warm snow
#

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

obsidian patio
#

it's also quests that unlock important side content, like your mount and dyeing your gear

heady carbon
#

ok

#

any reason to not do sidequests apart from time?

obsidian patio
#

plain sidequests rarely unlock anything noteworthy, as if they do they'd be marked as a bluequest instead

pearl mesa
#

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.

slate arrow
#

any sidequest with unlocks or rewards are usually marked with bluequest

heady carbon
leaden ginkgo
#

told you all I could stay up for 26 hours and I only got 8/9 memories from the queues

#

it's broken

slate arrow
#

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

obsidian patio
#

I think that's now marked as a bluequest since it's tied to dwarf beast tribe unlock?

#

i'd have to double check

slate arrow
#

Oh yeah, you're right

agile laurel
#

and then some slightly sneaky hidden ones like the moogle beast tribe, which frankly requires summoning exodia before starting

obsidian patio
#

but yeah, emote-giving quests are usually plain sidequests

#

yeah the moogle beast tribe quest chain is the main exception

leaden ginkgo
#

and I didn't read any of your messages after I left 24 hours ago so I told you so it's broken

slate arrow
#

I have no idea what your question is about.

agile laurel
#

i guess it was about droprate of memories from fates

#

which sucks

#

points for effort on demonstrating it sucks, but

tropic frigate
#

I can't figure out what this skill does. If I use it on a tank, does it heal tank or?

slate arrow
#

yes

#

basically it's a single target regen which puts a tether between your tank and your fairy

agile laurel
#

it isn't particularly strong, it's worth considering as a targeted Embrace

slate arrow
#

it will then consume 10 gauge every 3 seconds until you disable it

agile laurel
#

refer to

tropic frigate
#

Ahh gotcha, thanks for the clarification

agile laurel
#

!action fey union

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Fey Union** : lvl 70 SCH (0.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

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.

tropic frigate
#

Doesn't seem that worthwhile

agile laurel
#

tbh, considering gauge is used for that and fey blessing

slate arrow
#

it's useful if you need a consistent tank heal

#

because they removed the ability to manually embrace

agile laurel
#

it's worth just using on the basis you're not using it for much else

#

and it's very easy to acquire gauge

honest anvil
#

That last bit of within 15 yalms is important btw. If the tank runs away, fairy wont heal ...

warm snow
#

Tanks shouldn't be running anywhere 90% of the time

slate arrow
#

15 yalms radius is larger than it seems

#

as long as they're not being a dumbass it's more than enough

agile laurel
#

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

warm snow
#

Let's face it you're not going to spend gauge on anything else and it's automatic

honest anvil
#

i mean just keep the range limit in mind; it’s not a problem often but it can be ¯_(ツ)_/¯

agile laurel
#

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?)

slate arrow
#

because scholar isn't allow to spam AoE healing abilities I guess

tropic frigate
#

Considering you build up that gauge only to see it disappear in a few seconds on some small regen is ehhh

hollow briar
#

Halp

agile laurel
#

Yeah, but considering it's a relatively small heal and also spends secondary gauge, you'd expect even just 30sec

hollow briar
#

What's the command for the limitations on the trial?

agile laurel
#

regardless, whatever

hollow briar
#

Gonna send to a friend

slate arrow
#

!faq freetrial

agile laurel
#

!faq freetrial

zinc orbitBOT
hollow briar
#

I guess I just didn't add the space >_>

Ty

slate arrow
#

tl;dr besides level 60, can't use shout chat, form parties, join Free Companies, use the marketboard, or go past 300k gil

honest anvil
#

That should be a bot command too

vital ruin
#

Why isn't my macro reading Waste Not II?

#

O

obsidian patio

#

and it should be there

vital ruin
#

Uhh what do I do

slate arrow
#

strong saddle
#
