World Visit System

The World Visit System allows players to visit other worlds on the same data center. After hopping to another world, you are then able to do almost everything you are normally able to such as partying up to take on duties. Click the link below to find out how it works, and what restrictions there are.

#

whats a good cast time for summoner?

#

atm my ruin 3 is 2.37 seconds

slate arrow

2.44 to 2.5

#

Summoner doesn't really need or want skill speed

oh wait, I got it

rugged flicker
#

@slate arrow Hey so since I upgraded my awl, I'm overshooting again! I switched back to the old one but using the recipe on the site I came up short fore careful synthesis and had to rely on rapid synthesis to finish it off, which I'd rather not do in the future. I'm thinking I should go ahead and switch back to the hajndsaint's awl. Should that macro you gave me before still work for it?

Current stats:
Craftsmanship: 2760
Control: 2468
CP: 523

frozen wind
#

Im going mainy crit, and if I cant get crit i go DH

#

what happens if I cant go DH

rugged flicker
#

Three star

#

For Skysteel tool

slate arrow
#

one moment, just need to admire this beautiful hilarity

rugged flicker
#

I was able to make the last bit through rapid synthesis. XD

slate arrow
#

do you want to meet the last quality tier or not?

frail fulcrum
#

Has zonureskin map become rare?

rugged flicker
#

Weeelll

slate arrow
#

no just in high demand

frail fulcrum
#

Oh

rugged flicker
#

Also my numbers were wrong

frail fulcrum
#

Quick change it lol

rugged flicker
#

Was doing them based off of some math because I had buffs on.

#

Actual stats are:
Craftsmanship: 2746
Control: 2461
CP: 523

#

Nnngh... Just two tier V's and I'd be at min requirement for it...

short jasper
slate arrow
#

Well, there's a 60% chance you'll get the third collectibility tier given no Good/Excellents proc

rugged flicker
#

Lemme try a few melds real quick...

#

Whoo, just got to 529 CP

slate arrow
#

that's enough for exactly nothing useful

#

on a related note, hey, you willing to buy chili crab

rugged flicker
#

Well I mean... considering I was only a couple CP short before it's something. Anyway I affixed it to something maxed out on control.

slate arrow
#

yeah nah I just don't see it happening even with HQ chili crab

#

unless you want to stock up on HQ dwarven mythril nuggets

#

which, yeah it's a hassle

#

but it's cheaper than buying and melding aesthetes probably

fading aurora
#

what is celestial cloth used for that it sells for 1 mil?

wispy shell
#

How many kupo stamps do the lvl 80 crafts in ishgard give when handed it?

slate arrow
#

crafted tsukiyomi weapon

fading aurora
#

how many do u need for 1 wep

wispy shell
#

1 out of 5 needed for the kupo tickeT?

#

ow.. thats painful

#

how are you supposed to farm kupo of fortune then if your crafters are max

slate arrow
#

by spamming the 80 craft

twilit arch
#

turn in lvl 80 crafts

wispy shell
#

isn't that crazy expensive i mean

#

for 1 stamp

slate arrow
#

depends on your MB

twilit arch
#

most of the mats are pretty cheap on my server, so not really

wispy shell
#

so even though you need 8/8/8/1 compare to 6/6/1 it's about the same price?

rugged flicker
#

@dry coral
New stats:
Craftsmanship: 2740
Control: 2468
CP: 529
Not exactly sure that changes much but there it is.

slate arrow
#

That's not me

twilit arch
#

keep in mind you wanna be doing grade 4 stuff

slate arrow
#

anyways, for the most part you're not going to be hitting the next tier anytime soon with just melding

twilit arch
#

but yeah most of the g4 mats are like...dirty cheap on my server

slate arrow
#

Just get some HQ precrafts and call it a day if you wanna hit tier 3

twilit arch
#

if you're not eager to buy from mb, can always just farm the mats yourself

rugged flicker
slate arrow
#

well there you go, have fun

#

If you get tier 3 you only need to make 18 of the 2 start and 21 of the 3 star

#

Just make HQ precrafts and you should be good

rugged flicker
#

I guess now that my CP is a few points higher, I should have enough now to use careful synthesis at the end.

#

Using the default macro.

#

So let's give it a shot...

slate arrow
#

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

#

Double check with trial synthesis

rugged flicker
#

Oh right...

#

I'm overshooting progress still.

#

I'm guessing that screenshot you posted earlier was your suggested macro, lemme take a look at that...

slate arrow
#

oh right, I forgot to send it 💤

rugged flicker
#

S'all, good, I do that all the time

#

"Here's the link."

#

"Uh... what link?"

slate arrow
#

This would be significantly easier if you got melded Aesthetes 😹

#

I'm assuming you're going for all NQ materials so I'm like "but how"

rugged flicker
#

Honestly, this'll probably be the last one I do before they raise the level cap.

slate arrow
#

booooo perfectly understandable

rugged flicker
#

After that I'll just do it just because I don't like leaving quests undone 😛

#

But yeah, just as high as they can go, basically. That'll work.

#

With chili crabs, of course

rugged flicker
#

@slate arrow Unfortunately it seems that macro from the screenshot you sent doesn't work, comes up short at the end for progress and durability ~.~

#

Heya, has there been added a way to buy subs in-game somehow? Played FFXIV in the past for ~3 months, but there wasn't such thing, so I was wondering if it was added or if I should just give up on the game 😦

twilit arch
#

no

lethal cape
#

Damn, okay..

fresh wing

do people use dragoon skill stardriver?

remote lintel
#

yes?

#

why wouldnt you

pallid bluff
#

how to stop this?

fresh wing
#

o i was just watching a dragoon rotation video and they never used it

remote lintel

were they lvl 80?

fresh wing
#

yeah

hollow briar
#

So does Dark Arts just give 1 free cast or?

remote lintel
#

@pallid bluff chat settings > log filters > untick recruitment notices

hollow briar
#

Is it another meter we get?

hollow briar
#

Ah kk wasn't sure how it acted

inland scarab
#

question: are there any ways to detect if you’re being /follow, even when in crowds?

remote lintel
#

no

#

besides looking

glossy flare
#

It's just a little diamond next to your dark side counter

#

Also it only grants a free edge/flood

#

Not another tbn, that would be bonkers

leaden ginkgo
#

anyone here have a macro for the fire mage duel,some guy posted it,but i can't find it anywhere and did'nt get to copy it in time

hollow briar
#

That shit would be stupid lmao

#

How much Gauge do you build per weaponskill with Bloody Weapon?

remote lintel
#

!action blood weapon

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Blood Weapon** : lvl 35 DRK (60.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Increases Blood Gauge by 10 and restores MP upon landing weaponskills or spells.
Effect does not stack when hitting multiple targets with a single attack.
Duration: 10s

remote lintel
#

Increases Blood Gauge by 10

inland scarab
#

weird...
Playing in jp server, felt like jp peeps seems to know if being /follow even during hunt tours...

glossy flare
#

You want to hit 5 gcds under blood weapon

#

Which can be a bit tricky depending on your ping and sks

fading helm
#

guys what should i use my gil on since im gonna cap at 300k soon

rigid granite
#

New player here 🙂, a few months ago, I did the main story up to maybe lvl 40 or 50 on my Scholar but I kind of burnt out because the story is so long and because I didnt choose a class/job that I ended up liking. I watched some videos of all the jobs and I really like the look of machinist, but the problem is that I dont have a ton of spare time to run through the story that's supposedly a few hundred hours long. Would buying a story skip and/or level boost be a good option for me? And if so, should I get the story skip for all of the expansions or just some of the first ones? Thanks!

hollow briar
#

Gonna say uh

#

2.43ish gcd and 5 within a 10 sec window? Uh

fading helm
#

whats that

hollow briar
#

Is 2.43 what people aim for with DRK?

proud willow
#

I wouldn't advise story skip just to unlock MCH sooner unless your only other option is to stop playing

#

while the story starts off slow, it's building a baseline for all the plot that comes later

#

You do have the option of level boosting a MCH right now—you don't need to unlock it first before you boost it

rigid granite
#

Well the thing is, if I dont story skip at least some parts, I probably wont be able to complete the story until 2022, I just dont have that much free time atm

#

but I'd still really like to play ffxiv because the endgame seems really fun

#

I just dont know if I should skip all of the expansions or just the first one(or similar)

proud willow
#

everyone'll have a different opinion

#

Personally I think the experience of going through the story is greater than the entire sum of stuff I've done at endgame

little swift
hollow briar
#

Idek how it would work to squeeze that in exactly

proud willow
#

I can put it this way: what you're asking is a little bit like saying that you've seen Iron Man 1 and you want to know if you should skip all the other MCU movies and go straight to watching the last hour of Avengers: Endgame

hollow briar
#

I'd queue the hit and when it's queued I'd pop Blood Weapon?

analog gate
#

press it late into the GCD

#

use blood weapon and delirium when your GCD looks like this

hollow briar
#

And delirium?

analog gate
#

the same

fiery pagoda
#

to level up quick, should i pick and choose highest level dungeon available or do roulette?

hollow briar
#

Highest

shrewd owl
#

do roulettes once a day

remote lintel
#

roulette first

shrewd owl
#

then proceed with highest level

fiery pagoda
#

okie

leaden ginkgo
#

i just grabbed some white oak branches are they discontinued collectibles ? if so what do i do with them

fiery pagoda
#

thousand maw feels like a long dungeon

little swift
#

You should still do your msq as you main source of exp for your first job

little swift
#

They're rarefied x now

leaden ginkgo
#

i see so the oak branches are useless

little swift
#

So if you've checked rowen and you can't do anything with it see if you can lower the quality of them to regular items and sell/craft

#

Or toss them

leaden ginkgo
#

where is the crafting best tribe

#

in shb

fading helm
#

so uh no one has any reccomendations on what to spend my gil on

#

so i dont stay capped?

glossy flare
#

The thing is that there really isn't much to spend them on and most of the things that would make sense are tied to the market board

#

Which, as a free trial player, you also don't have access to

fading helm
#

ah

#

yeah that sucks

glossy flare
#

Even at high levels people just sit on gil for most of the time if it makes you feel better

jolly sorrel
#

How long does a bozja relic take compared to a skybuilder tool? I imagine much longer, but

#

Just checking

plain python
#

gil is only meaningful in housing, or when you want to get latest pieces of glam. Or some old rare glam

#

(or when you want to waste 75m gil in two expensive mounts to show off)

#

im in the adventure guild in new grid

slow isle
#

So when you’re looking at a residential ward, I’m assuming red names just mean they’re offline? Why do some people have chat bubbles and others don’t?

green grail
#

red names are locked houses, you cant enter them

slow isle
#

Yeah, I I just checked and see 2 plots open. Just can’t afford it.

untold forge
#

What is aether oil used for

#

?

green grail
#

it's part of the level 60 relic weapon, required for one of the steps

untold forge
#

OHH I see!! Thank u!!

finite topaz
#

Stupid question, but can someone confirm that, if glamming something on top of an item YEETs the dye?

#

(If there was a dye pre-applied)

proud willow
#

that is correct

#

the model and color of the glamouring item will be copied, erasing whatever was there

pallid bluff
#

what is the action name of company chocobo?

proud willow
#

to summon it?

pallid bluff
#

to make a macro

#

and yes to summon

proud willow
#

as far as I know, you have to use the Gysahl Greens item to summon, and there's no command to use an item

#

so I don't think you can macro it

green grail
#

for combat you need to use a gysahl green yeah

#

can just put it on your hotbar

#

same with summoning it as a mount, just drag from mount log to a hotbar

pallid bluff
#

it's /mount "Company Chocobo"

Is the 515 Relic stronger than regular Cryptlurker?

Yeah it depends on secondary stats

#

But they’re pretty equal

Question for ocean fishing
If u r fisher with level lower than 50 will u still get scrips?

plain python
#

how to use WAR's party shield effectively? I assume that I pop Vengeance, then wait for the last few seconds before popping Raw Intution, Thrill of Battle and use the Party Shield so that it will have both shield and damage reduction?

warped nest
#

If your shake it off happens to get buffed by your ongoing cooldown, that's fine

#

But don't waste your cooldown to buff shake it off

#

!action shake it off

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Shake It Off** : lvl 68 WAR (90.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Creates a barrier around self and all nearby party members that absorbs damage totaling 15% of maximum HP.
Dispels Thrill of Battle, Vengeance, and Raw Intuition, increasing damage absorbed by 2% for each effect removed.
Duration: 15s

obsidian patio
#

At the minimum you should try to feed Raw Intuition to Shake it Off, due to the low cooldown of it.

#

The others are generally more valuable for personal mitigation than party mitigation

warped nest
#

Definitely don't try to line everything up to get a 21 percent shake it off

leaden ginkgo
#

Can I get some sad/bittersweet song recommendations from ff14?

pulsar escarp
#

literally everything in main trailers. shb theme. arr theme. hw theme lol

vernal urchin
warped nest
#

Suzaku theme is bittersweet, iirc

leaden ginkgo
#

Thanks guys

vernal urchin
#

i also like "Old Wounds", the night theme for The Lochs area

#

dunno if it'd fit your theme though

shrewd owl
#

full fathom five has a somewhat similar feel to old wounds

#

although idk if it'd be like

#

spoilers

leaden ginkgo
#

Definitely does fit my theme

shrewd owl
#

its just the tempest music right?

vernal urchin
#

ye

#

though most videos on youtube of the songs have footage of them flying around

#

so for the fathom one i wouldn't look too closely at the video itself lol

naive kayak
#

Hi I was planning on getting ffXIV since I heard its the best mmo and was wondering is just getting the base game good enough or do you recommend getting the expansion pack as well on steam

green grail
#

play the free trial first, it's all of base game + first expansion with just some social limitations, and it's like 200h+ of content for free

naive kayak
#

ok

green grail
#

after you buy base game you'll have to pay monthly subscription to play whats included in the trial

#

so just easier not to buy anything in the start

naive kayak
#

alright

#

how do you change the audio in game?

#

like language

#

nvm

#

got it

gloomy mortar
#

Diamond totems are only for diamond weapons? Nothing else?

obsidian patio
#

There's a special exchange option at C'intana that wants a Ruby+Emerald+Diamond totem for a TT card

#

but besides that, just diamond weapons and eventually the mount when SE decides to add it to the token exchange

kind eagle
#

how long must i wait

#

if wrong password

gloomy mortar
#

So I shoul hoard diamond totems instead of exchanging?

green grail
#

keep 99 for whenever they add the mount trade

#

spend the rest however you want

void cargo
#

any tips/advice on how to quickly farm the reconditioned anima weapon quest?

honest anvil
#

Is that the crystal sand step?

void cargo
obsidian patio
#

If you have a crafter/gatherer leveled up past 60, the blue crafter/gatherer scrip token option is pretty fast.

green fossil
#

Do i get free Fantasia with my first subscription?
I read this somewhere online
I just bought the full pack and it's installing now

obsidian patio
#

If you have a battle job at 80 or don't mind spending gil, the ARR Extreme Primal material option is another good exchange.

honest anvil
#

Allagan oil is also fairly cheap on mb

obsidian patio
#

allagan oil isn't tradeable, and also not for that step of the relic

green fossil
obsidian patio
#

it got moved to be the quest reward for "The Ultimate Weapon"

green fossil
#

Gotta wait to level 50 😢

void cargo
obsidian patio
#

nope

strong saddle
#

Dont worry it'll be worth it @green fossil

obsidian patio
#

but it's still one of the faster exchange options of them all.

#

And you can always buy out the cheaper materials and farm for the more expensive ones.

#

So using the exchange option of Ifrit/Garuda/Shiva, you could manually farm Shiva and buy the ifrit/garuda materials

#

Basically all of the ARR primals but Leviathan die in a minute or so at level 80.

obsidian patio
#

just 80 in general, and yeah that'll be more than enough

honest anvil
#

510 is overkill xD

void cargo
obsidian patio
#

the first 120 points AKA 40 umbrite always give +3 points. Past the first 120 there's a chance of getting a bonus 1-3 points per umbrite, making them up to 6 total points per umbrite.

#

With average luck you'll probably save on 5-10 umbrite+sands through the bonus points

rigid granite
#

If I get a story skip for ARR, will the machinist level boost work even though I havent done heavensword to unlock it?

warped nest
#

Job level boost will work

#

As long as you own the expansion the job comes in

rigid granite
#

Yeah I got the complete edition, so it should work just fine to do that then?

tepid flame
#

I'm interested in playing ff14 but I don't know how to get into it.
Is it a buy to play or sub to play? Do I need to buy the starter edition on steam for this?

glossy flare
#

It's both buy and sub. You pay one time to buy the game then pay a monthly fee to keep playing.

#

However there is also a free trial if you just want to try it out for now

proud willow
#

There is a free trial that gives you access to the same content as the Starter Edition, just with some social restrictions

glossy flare
#

If you, eventually, decide to buy the game then you can either buy the starter edition (which has the same content as the free trial) or the complete edition, which would include all expansions.

tepid flame
#

what's the level cap for free trial? Can you take your free trial character into starter edition if you decide you like it?

glossy flare
#

lvl 60

#

and yes, you can

#

You can convert a free trial account into a regular account at any time. Just note that there is no going back to the free trial

#

Once you decide to sub you have to sub from that point onwards

tepid flame
#

is there a way to check out what max level classes would feel like before picking something to play?

#

like on training dummies or something

glossy flare
#

not by trying them out ingame, no

pulsar escarp
#

I mean

glossy flare
#

this is good though

pulsar escarp
#

you can try 80 rotation at 71 if you go into bozja

#

but at that point.. lol

glossy flare
#

they cant

tepid flame
#

lol

glossy flare
#

free trial

pulsar escarp
#

yeah F

fiery pagoda
#

so u can technically farm infinite MGP thru minigames?

pulsar escarp
#

you could but you'd be there forever

#

unless

#

it's good minigame?

glossy flare
#

Note for that video: Gunbreaker, Dancer, Samurai and Red Mage are not part of the free trial

#

because they are part of expansions that are not in the free trial

tepid flame
#

they are part of the starter edition?

glossy flare
#

no

tepid flame
#

D:

glossy flare
#

Samurai and Red Mage are part of Stormblood while Gunbreaker and Dancer are part of Shadowbringers

#

Both are included in a regular Shadowbringers purchase though

#

(or the complete edition)

tepid flame

where do I get the "one time password" ?

Jumping the gun but, recommended trial/raid for the upcoming mooglr event?

#

From what I see there isn't any WP or AV options this time round

#

For free trial players

Crystal tower or sky pirate wearycarby

I can see CT for free trials happenign a lot

What's the difference between the rebel and urban clothes

one's dyeable - wait. yes?

rebel has a bit more belts and loops attached to it

they're both dyeable, but with minor differences

I have an Eternal Bond question. Specifically, about the anniversary vow renewal ceremony.

I'm aware that I can't pick up the anniversary quest until the actual anniversary date. However, normally scheduling starts Friday for anytime during the week after the following Friday. Is this different for the anniversary ceremony, or am I unable to hold the vow renewal on the day of my actual in-game anniversary?

How do you stop the chat from scrolling down when you try to scroll up?

#

it automatically tries to scroll down when someone types a new message unless I scroll up earlier

plain python
#

I cross two seeds with different harvesting time. One already harvest-able. Will planting new ones counted into cross-breed?

lavish pagoda
#

If I remember right, yes, the new seeds can cross-breed with the existing plants. The existing plants will still be cross-bred with the previously planted ones. Some persistent set-ups make use of this.

obsidian patio
#

yep

#

as for the eternal bonding question, I can't say for sure :x

lavish pagoda
#

Hoping to figure it out soon since I was attempting to schedule around it. x_x

Heya, just coming back to the game after few months of break im jumping back into ShB and was wondering whats the go to lvl 80 set to go for ?

obsidian patio
#

if you don't mind spending the gil, the Exarchic gear from the marketboard is the go-to set if you want to do endgame content immediately

#

Just make sure to buy it as high quality (hq)

#

if you don't want to spend gil, then going through the Eden and Yorha raids and grabbing gear from there will help, with Eden's Promise gear being i510 and Paradigm's Breach gear being i520

Hey! I picked a class I think I might not enjoy in the long run for my first trial character. How hard is it to swap things, if I am already at lvl 14, and picked no gear for the job i am eyeballing?
Picked elemental mage (I think it is the black one?) and I struggled a bit with monsters eating my gentle face, especially during fates content. Considering if I should pick up melee dps or tank (gladiator or the monk the closest ones)

obsidian patio
#

Swapping classes is super easy, moreso at the lower levels.

#

After completing the level 10 class quest for your starting job you unlock the ability to become other classes by unlocking them at their class guilds or unlock NPCs

zinc pine
#

Considering that I got majority of my exp from main quest, do I just grind mobs with my basic gear till I got my second job up to MSQ level again, or is there anything else to it?

potent lava
#

you dont want to grind overworld mobs, they give very little xp

#

well I guess at lower levels you dont have much choice

obsidian patio
#

hunting log and fates for the low levels

#

and sidequests too for ones near your level

zinc pine
#

Sounds right, but not sure where to get exp from in that case. I got some kind of monster journal, but it seems that I already killed most of them on my first job, and not sure if i can handle fates that are higher level.

What new raid will be in next patch?

It'll probably have a new raid type thing like Dr again and that'll be the last multiplayer content til 6.0

#

There's nothing new in e12s besides raidwide damage after Triple Apoc right? If I survived through that then I can start joining clear parties?

obsidian patio
#

yep, triple apoc and darkest dance are the last actual mechanics

#

past that is just a ton of continuous aoe damage and then enrage

I noticed there is a "User Macros" Section you can use.
Can you make macros like in World of Warcraft where you got multiple skills ina cast sequence macro, or?
Because my bars / keybinds are filling up quick and I have no clue how to deal with it other then starting to click spells at this point 😛

little swift
#

!faq macrogcd

strong saddle
#

No

zinc orbitBOT
#
Why you shouldn't macro your GCDs

Macroing GCDs adds up to lost casts overtime, significantly harming your potential.

Check this video for a striking dummy comparison:
https://youtu.be/VgpUCgExvbA

strong saddle
#

Ffxiv doesnt like macros

little swift
#

Don't use them to chain skills

strong saddle
#

Yeah

simple river
#

damn, so click away then I guess

little swift
#

macros are dogshit on purpose

#

You can use them for crafting rotations

strong saddle
#

Its not like wows gcd's where is a millisecond different

little swift
#

And for mildly nice things like ogcds

tardy patio
little swift
#

Sprint macro too is good

agile laurel
#

The most practical use of macros is placing ground effects imo

#

and even that's less actually practical than WoW

simple river
#

Sprint macro? 🙂 couild you tell me more @little swift

little swift
#

Sprint is really the only one thats truly practical

#

Everything else is a laziness thing

#

!faq sprintmacro

zinc orbitBOT
#
Sprint is nice when macro'd

Sprint won't queue like most standard actions. Give this macro a try for slightly better responsiveness:

/ac Sprint
/ac Sprint
/ac Sprint
/ac Sprint
/ac Sprint
/ac Sprint
/ac Sprint
/ac Sprint
/ac Sprint
/ac Sprint
/ac Sprint
/ac Sprint
/ac Sprint
/micon Sprint```
obsidian patio
#

sprint doesn't queue into the gcd

#

so a macro version basically works the same but a bit better

little swift
#

Tldr sprint dogshit on its own

agile laurel
#

if you're casting frequently you WILL notice it

#

and hopefully, it won't kill you for it

#

ask me how i know.

simple river
#

Okey, cool, thanks! 😄

#

All those imperials, who call everyone else "savages" — are they all pureblood garleans? Or garlean citizenship gives you the privilege of calling yourself civilized, even if you're ex-"savage"?

tardy patio
#

I wonder if that could work with potions too

little swift
agile laurel
agile laurel
#

yes

high otter
#

I was just wondering how it works, because I've seen no pureblood garleans among common soldiers. I guess they all are centurions or higher, with full-face helmets

agile laurel
#

about right, yes. Iirc there's next to no track record of a non-pureblood Garlean holding any significant rank

high otter
#

aye, seems logical

#

it's basically how Roman Empire worked: conquered barbarians were slowly integrated into the Empire, but nobody would treat them as equals. Until very late, when barbarians got so many rights, that they even resided in the Senate. Which was one of the main reasons why Empire crumbled

shrewd owl
#

yeah most imperials you fight are conscripts and not purebloods

Once I have Thavnairian Onion seeds can I just grow them in my pots? From what I understand they can't be looped to produce more seeds, so no benefit to growing them in the garden?

I'm going through levels fast due to the Preferred World boost - I'm lv25 and currently on the Envoy MSQ. What happens if I hit job levels before I unlock jobstones? Do I just have a whole bunch of empty levels, and then a ton of job quests to do once I get my jobstone?

rough fossil
fiery ginkgo
agile laurel
#

yes

obsidian patio
#

@pearl mesa You still have a few class skills from 30-50, but yeah you'll be a bit behind on skills.

#

though it won't matter as you won't be in content where you can use those job skills before being able to unlock your job.

Is there any general tips you got for new players that might not be obvious for us? Like, just an example, AH gear is good on X level and buy stuff at this vendor at X level etc? 🙂

open coral
#

MB gear is almost never worth the price.

#

Likewise vendor gear is almost never worth it.

#

The only time you have to buy gear from a vendor is for the MSQ that requires you to have a hat.

simple river
#

So, for example, I'm 61 now. Should I just not bother spending my Allegan Tomestone of Poetics then?

open coral
#

What's your MSQ level?

simple river
#

Uhhm, Like where I am on the main story or? ^^

open coral
#

Yes. msq

#

What level are those quests.

simple river
#

Well Im not sure where/if I can see pure levels on quest completed, but I'm in the 58-60 region right before shadowbringers atm

#

aka, still stuck in heavensward

open coral
#

So right before SB

little swift
#

Before stormblood

open coral
#

Not ShB

simple river
#

Ah, yes

little swift
#

You're 1.5 expansions from shb

simple river
#

Sorry, the new expanisons confuse me ^^

open coral
#

You should be able to buy Shire gear, which will be a good use of poetics.

little swift
#

Job level means relatively little overall

#

Other than need it to meet msq minimums

open coral
#

Always gear to your MSQ level.

simple river
#

Yeah, noticed. I felt like I was far behind on my MSQ compared to my level

open coral
#

90% of the time, when we say "level" we don't mean your class level. We mean your MSQ level.

#

Because from a practical standpoint, that's the more important measure in this game.

simple river
#

Right, that makes sense, ty! I Will look for the Shire gear vendor then 🙂

open coral
#

The vendor can be found in the big building in the middle of Idyllshire, or near the main aetheryte in Ishgard.

#

Get the weapon first.

#

(Far right vendor if you're in Idyllshire)

#

Shire Weapons category.

simple river
#

Im in Ishgard atm looking for him ^^

open coral
#

The NPC is called "Rowena's Representative"

#

If you've been to Idyllshire, they should be right by the main aetheryte.

Thank you very much for the help! ❤️

should be people afking around it

solemn pine
#

I found it. There wasn't any Icon so I couldn't find it back then

#

i thought he was just a normal npc talking

little swift
#

And the story skip only at best brings you to the start of the latest expansion

#

Which has been generally agreed to be the best of them all, and it has buildup from the previous expansion storylines

hybrid tinsel
#

ah

little swift
#

I know its slow, but if you are a fan of story games I'd try to stick it out

hybrid tinsel
#

alright ill sit through it

little swift
#

If you aren't by all means either turbo skip everything or buy a skip and just manually level your character

heavy wadi
#

yeah it's probably not a good idea to skip story, as story is a major part of this game and endgame wouldn't be as captivating without it

Hello everyone, sorry for the inconvenience, but I have a visual error, it turns out that in the cities the game looks incredibly good, but when I go outside, the grass or places with many herbs are seen with very very jagged peaks and the whole scene is very pixelated, however the face of my characters, the clothes of the same and the clothes and face of npcs look good, any solution?

glossy flare
#

Do you have a screenshot of the issue?

dense lagoon
glossy flare
#

I was about to say, it may just be working as intended

dense lagoon
#

For example, Ishgard looks like a toy from the outside

heavy wadi
#

outdoor environments aren't the most high quality in low level areas, yeah

dense lagoon
#

It looks better in later levels/expansions

leaden ginkgo
#

In the daytime it looks twice as pixelated and if it looks blurry it is because I tried to adjust the nvidia control panel settings but I only managed to make it look "blurry" or have that effect, but the jagged edges are beastly (it is appreciated more full screen)

faint flare
#

Yeah that's just kinda normal

glossy flare
#

Hm, it doesn't look particularly strange to me

heavy wadi
#

that's just how the game is

glossy flare

Just how the game looks I'm afraid

faint flare
#

Remember this game is fucking ancient

#

Especially arr

glossy flare
#

Yeah, it's what? 8 years old by now?

heavy wadi
#

arr is 7, I think? 1.0 is 10 isn't it

I can't remember if arr was 2013 or 14 lol

glossy flare

1.0 doesn't really count since it's literally gone completely

#

but yeah, something like that

1.0 was 2010

Arr was 2013

i'm leveling rdm, when would i use reprise?

glossy flare
#

as a ranged gauge spender

warm snow
#

Generally on cooldown iirc

glossy flare
#

so you don't overcap

faint flare
#

For very very extreme movement heavy sections where you can't sneak out a cast

#

And fixing mana

fading aurora
#

Does hiding others skills also hide the healers bubble heal?

faint flare
#

Limited keeps healer bubbles

cerulean schooner
#

i c thanks

glossy flare
#

not if you set them to limited

#

limited generally keeps all effects you should know about

warm snow
#

!skill reprise

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Reprise** : lvl 76 RDM (2.5 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Delivers an attack with a potency of 100.
Action upgraded to Enchanted Reprise if both Black Mana and White Mana are at 5 or more.

glossy flare
#

like friendly aoe in general

warm snow
cerulean schooner
#

oh

warm snow
#

You do the full melee combo when you hit 80/80 mana

#

And you never do just one part of the melee combo

fading aurora
#

I keep farming extremes for like 6 hrs straight and my eyes can't take all the colors everyone spews anymore lol

warm snow
#

Always the full 3 attacks

fading aurora
#

Good to know they still show

glossy flare
#

I mean technically enchanted reprise is incredibly mana efficient as a standalone but yeah, the combo is just better

warm snow
#

Unless you're synced down and only have like 1 attack

glossy flare
#

but reprise is more an edge case for specific situations

faint flare
#

Reprise the the ranged attack

#

It's for extreme movement sections where you can't sneak a cast to trigger dualcast

warm snow
#

Oh doh

#

Ye

#

That

open coral
cerulean schooner
#

i c

warm snow
#

For example the "blender" in emerald extreme

fading aurora
faint flare
#

You can sneak a cast there

#

If you're smart and quick with movement

fading aurora
#

Too many skills at once especially when u do content with 3 groups

glossy flare
#

it can also fix your mana alignment if needed, so you don't overcap while you can not go into a melee combo right now

fading aurora
#

It's like sitting in a rainbow

glossy flare
#

for example if you know the boss will jump away before you can dish out the whole combo

glossy flare
#

And you aught to know the important bits like healer bubbles and what not

#

then RDM lb3 comes along and you are blind again

fading aurora
#

Normally I don't mind the explosions and stuff but farming the kamuy mounts for hours straight start to hurt my eyes lol especially if u play dancer and sit in the middle of skills@glossy flare

For aoes

@faint flare I think I'm cursed every kamuy had been a 45th run drop

That's kinda standard

So super random ass question and not even sure if this is the place for it but eh why not.
I've seen this "WU/T" thingy in quite a few of the people in my friends list lil blurb thing. What does "WU/T" even stand for? My curiosity is killing me ;3;

Aight now I know XD thanks! @faint flare

Guys how many cloths does it take to craft a Tsukyomi weapon?

just one

fading aurora
#

What are the other ingredients , because on my server it sells for like 3mil

open coral
#

The cloth itself is hard to get.

last patio
#

thats what google is for my friend 😄
entirely dependent on the weapon

open coral
#

That will automatically drive the price up

fading aurora
#

Since the wep sells for 3m

last patio
#

^
low drop rate = rare mat = gimme moneh

#

and no

faint flare
#

The price goes up for the finished product for Convenience

last patio
#

from personal experience the other mats are a pittance in comparison

open coral
#

I mean, the people making it are going to price it to make a profit. And it's a rare material + desirable glamour.

warm snow
#

Prices reduce over time

open coral
#

Also 3M isn't really that much.

last patio
#

like some of the mats for the weapons I've seen at like lower than 100 gil at times

fading aurora
#

Does every ex drop the cloth or just Tsukyomi?

faint flare
#

Just her

open coral
#

Just Tsukuyomi

what do i do with ying yang's item?

fading aurora
#

Are the other mats as expensive?

last patio
#

exactly why I've been farming hades and byakko

#

both trying to get the weapons and make some money

fading aurora
#

I'm kinda poor so those 3 cloths kinda made me a bit richer

#

But not much

last patio
#

@fading aurora Just look up lmfao
the other mats needed for the weapons (barring the actual rare mat dropped by the boss in w/e extreme) is cheap af

fading aurora
#

I'm not home right now I would love to see the price of the susano mat

#

If it's worth farming

you can check market prices with kupo bot here

or rather in #kupo-bot-spam

Susanoo doesn't have a weapon yet so it wouldn't be toooooo higher

Where is the remove glamour option?

How was sb drk

pulsar escarp
#

oh I guess not

random girder
#

i would really love more inhuman animations for drk, especially during delirium. make drks kinda scary lol

little swift
#

Lots of its rotation was centered around using dark arts well

vital ruin
#

Was it good

faint flare
#

It dark arts was dark artskinda dark arts bland and dark arts boring

vital ruin
#

I c

little swift
#

Dark arts empowered your next cast at the cost of mana

pulsar escarp
#

sb drk was clunky but lot more interesting. rn it's smooth but sb drk had abyssal drain on mp usage so self healing big pulls was a joke. there was also enemies die - you get buff as well, I think?

vital ruin
#

Did it empower cooldowns

faint flare
#

No

#

Well I think dark mind

vital ruin
#

Rip

faint flare
#

At one time

#

DA dark mind was lime 30% opossed to...15?

pulsar escarp
#

bascially people found drk in SB to be very fun, even though TBN was weaker. now people call it an old warrior clone with TBN buffed up to be a good class

faint flare
#

Or something

#

Probably heavensward

random girder
#

one change i do really want is for living shadow to mimic us and for us to get 50 blood easily at start of rotation

little swift
#

Can always use the wayback machine to look up the lodestone job guide from 2 years ago and see how some skills worked

pulsar escarp
#

sounds unreliable but pretty cool

random girder
#

so you fit all your abilities into living shadow and have fray mimic them

vital ruin
#

Ooh 50 blood would be nice

random girder
#

like a bloodfest style thing i guess

little swift
#

50 blood at start of rotation isn't hard

pulsar escarp
#

I mean yeah just getting fray out is 50 and that's doable

#

in opener

little swift
#

Because you want ls to snap raidbuffs anyways so it isn't summoned earlier than 3rd gcd

pulsar escarp
#

right

random girder
#

actually yeah all youd want to do is delay ogcds to use them during fray

#

so blood gain skill isnt really necessary

pulsar escarp
#

it's just rn the drk rotation is button mash/double weave when cds are up

#

and it didn't always used to be that way

vital ruin
#

A lot of button mash

pulsar escarp
#

opener coordinated button mashing

faint flare
#

If anything Tbn should be lowered to be on par with the time other tanks get their own short defensive Cooldowns but it's tied to their job quest so kinda hard to do that

glossy flare
random girder
#

i just think the double weaves would be more fun every 90s(? is it 2min?) if fray did carve and spit, edge of shadow, etc with us lol

vital ruin
#

I have issues double weaving

#

Ig that's my pings fault

pulsar escarp
#

right, but it's less.. idk, it's smooth buteh

#

it's so brainless

#

if you know what I mean?

glossy flare
#

I mean I agree, drk could use more... something. just saying

little swift
#

Dark isn't a 90s job though

glossy flare
little swift
#

Its a 60s job

glossy flare
#

yea, blood weapon is the defining skill there

pulsar escarp
#

yep.

glossy flare
#

it's where the burst happens

little swift
#

Your burst comes from bw/c&s/drain every 60s

faint flare
#

Salted as well

pulsar escarp
#

which is.. not gonna lie, bw is a boring skill even though it's so critical to DRK as a whole

little swift
#

Opportunity cost of 3.6k mana gain every minute in 5 gcds is better

#

Optimizing for 3/5 edge rotation is already challenging

vital ruin
#

5 gcds under BW gains 3.6k mp?

pulsar escarp
#

tell me about it, my ping means everything is melded sks

little swift
#

Salted is 90s vinyl

#

No I'm including carve and spit tahmeed

pulsar escarp
#

bw full gcds just means that you can do the opener properly really

faint flare
vital ruin
#

Ohh

#

How much is earned only via 5 gcds

random girder
#

we can all agree on bunshin-ifying bw right

little swift
#

3k

vital ruin
#

Like 123 12

#

Oh

little swift
#

And 50 blood

vital ruin
#

I c

little swift
#

From just bw alone

faint flare
#

Where the fuck have I been thinking salted is 60s

little swift
#

Lmao I only remember because I cast it with delirium

pulsar escarp
#

idk I just hope drk gets more love in EW because shb was our expansion but it's a pretty lacklustre class with tbn as defining trait

faint flare
#

Slowly remembering why I dont play drk as much OMEGALUL

pulsar escarp
#

I still main it but really

#

only because I know tankbusters and not taking damage is nice

little swift
#

And with that we've once again reached discussion territory sadly

faint flare
#

Fun police time

pulsar escarp
#

hey, I was gonna end it there lmao

faint flare
vital ruin
#

My panic button is TBN and then abyssal drain

pulsar escarp
#

abyssal drain should be used on cd

#

rather than as a panic button

vital ruin
#

Ya

glossy flare
#

abyssal drain doesn't have much effect in single target situations anyway

#

on the healing front that is

vital ruin
#

Multi

glossy flare
#

in aoe however it's drksip

pulsar escarp
#

yeah.. goddammit please buff drk self heal our invuln literally depends on it...

vital ruin
#

Only on mobs or it goes to cd

random girder
#

tbn drkbapped

glossy flare
#

I think some guides list abyssal as mitigation actually. Which I guess is technically true? But still, use it on cd

little swift
#

namazuconcern you'll get bapped and ill get bapped if we let this go for too long

glossy flare
random girder
faint flare
#

Perfect

vital ruin
#

What's the total potency of miasma and bio on 30s

#

Individually

faint flare
#

They tick every 3s

#

So

warm snow
#

!skill miasma

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Miasma** : lvl 6 ACN SMN (500 MP) (2.5 second cooldown)(2.5 second base cast time)

Deals unaspected damage with a potency of 20.
Additional Effect: Unaspected damage over time
Potency: 20
Duration: 30s

faint flare
#

!action Miasma 3

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Miasma** : lvl 6 ACN SMN (500 MP) (2.5 second cooldown)(2.5 second base cast time)

Deals unaspected damage with a potency of 20.
Additional Effect: Unaspected damage over time
Potency: 20
Duration: 30s

warm snow
#

20*(30/3)

#

= 200

glossy flare
#

Which miasma and bio do you mean though?

vital ruin
#

That is pretty shit

pulsar escarp
#

this is lvl 6 one lmao

#

of course it's shit

faint flare
#

!action Miasma III

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Miasma III** : lvl 66 SMN (500 MP) (2.5 second cooldown)(2.5 second base cast time)

Deals unaspected damage with a potency of 45.
Additional Effect: Unaspected damage over time
Potency: 45
Duration: 30s

faint flare
#

Thats better

warm snow
#

My math was off

faint flare
#

45 + (45x10)

pulsar escarp
#

what's higan's full potency anyway. I've forgotten that one too.

warm snow
#

45*(30/3) + 45

faint flare
#

So like 495

warm snow
#

= 495

glossy flare
#

Miasma III is 495 and Bio III is 450

#

Which is not bad, not great

vital ruin
#

Ahh

little swift
#

Higanbana is like 1050 before kaiten

pulsar escarp
#

aha

little swift
#

!action higanbana

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Higanbana** : lvl 30 SAM (2.5 second cooldown)(1.8 second base cast time)

Delivers an attack with a potency of 250.
Additional Effect: Damage over time
Potency: 40

※This action cannot be assigned to a hotbar.

pulsar escarp
#

yep there it is

little swift
#

Yah 40x20ticks +250

faint flare
#

Dot potency math is easy when you remember it ticks every 3s

pulsar escarp
#

'keep it up all the time'

warm snow
#

All dots tick every 3 seconds

little swift
#

Except flamethrower

warm snow
#

Only "exception" is flamethrower

pulsar escarp
#

wish we had an aoe dot but maybe that would be busted

#

why?

vital ruin
#

Now I see why SMN is falling behind SAM

warm snow
#

Which is it's own thing

pulsar escarp
#

I mean smn's also a caster

faint flare
#

Nah

warm snow
#

Flamethrower is its own thing

little swift
#

There are aoe dots

glossy flare
#

gotta remember that SMN also has pet dmg

#

which are also like dots

warm snow
#

!skill bane

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Bane** : lvl 30 ACN SMN (10.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Spreads a target's Bio and Miasma effects to nearby enemies.
Potency is reduced by 60% for all remaining enemies. Duration: Full duration of original effects No effect if target is not suffering from Bio or Miasma effects inflicted by you.

faint flare
#

Samurai has high personal damage and no raid buffs, and a melee

little swift
#

Doton and salted earth and living shadow are aoe dots

pulsar escarp
#

plus, samurai's melee and has people who very much enjoy parsing

faint flare
#

Summoner had Devotion and raise

vital ruin
#

I have no clue how to calculate pet damage
I can't parse

faint flare
#

And a caster

#

So

little swift
#

Also the garuda egi assault

pulsar escarp
#

samurai's to be expected to out dps pretty much everything

#

if played well

#

that is

vital ruin
#

How do I even calculate pet damage

faint flare
#

Pet potency is like.... 68% or some dumb ass number

pulsar escarp
#

it's stupid or smth

glossy flare
#

pets work exactly like dots afaik (Bahamut and Phoenix aside because they act on your gcd

faint flare
#

Pet potency is just kinda stupid and Idk why it exists

glossy flare
#

so one attack every 3s

vital ruin
#

So pet is only off during bahamut and firebird right?

faint flare
#

Egis are pet

glossy flare
#

yea since they act on your gcd casts

little swift
#

Demis are also technically pets

pulsar escarp
#

smn just means ther'es more to calculate lmao

faint flare
#

Also bahamut and phoenix attacks are 1.5s recast

#

So it's not always every 3s they attack

#

Cause of pet queing

glossy flare
#

ifrit does 80 potency dmg every 3s iirc

vital ruin
#

Ye but entire bahamut and phoenix is controlled by you not auto attacks

glossy flare
#

So it acts like a consistent 80 potency dot

vital ruin
#

Wyrms waves are all gcds

#

Pets are autos?

faint flare
#

It's a important distinction cause you can go from a hardcase and instant cast

#

Which would que another attack

glossy flare
#

pets do autos, yes. Bahamut and Phoenix just don't

#

they "auto" whenever you use a gcd

pulsar escarp
#

their

vital ruin
#

That's not even auto xD

pulsar escarp
#

'autos' therefore hit ike a truck

faint flare
#

And it's qued when it'd on recast

#

It's basically their auto attak

pulsar escarp
#

well yeah lol that's why it's in quotation marks

vital ruin
#

Ohh

faint flare
#

Technicalities

warm snow
#

Cuz it's not an auto attack but it still pseudo automated

reef quiver
#

So is the last hilderbrand quest lines in kugane?

faint flare
#

It's auto cause they will still que the attack and execute it when they can if they're doing something else

warm snow
#

Ye

glossy flare
reef quiver
#

That's OK then as long as I'm all caught up

vital ruin
#

Why is GNB more difficult than DRK

#

It has simple rotation

glossy flare
#

more weaving

#

fast boy

faint flare
#

It's more active more often

vital ruin
#

Weaving isn't hard

#

My gcd is 2.38

#

Okay wait

faint flare
#

you tell that to the casuals

vital ruin
#

Nvm

pulsar escarp
#

lol

vital ruin
#

Ping issues come to my mind

pulsar escarp
#

gnb's just stay awake when you need to do it

#

drk's actually quite a pain on high ping not gonna lie

vital ruin
#

So only weaving is the reason people call it complicated?

glossy flare
#

I wouldn't call it complicated

#

Complicated by tank standards maybe

faint flare
#

It's more busy and active

glossy flare
#

but that's not a high bar

pulsar escarp
#

gnb is called complicated because it's more different to other tanks lol

vital ruin
#

How

umbral void
#

What's the general consensus when comparing dragonsong patch story to the post ARR stuff. Worse or better?

vital ruin
#

All tanks are busy and active

pulsar escarp
#

it's called a pseudo dps for a reason

umbral void
#

wooh okay

faint flare
#

Mainly cause it's shorter and less filler

vital ruin
#

War has similar dps

umbral void
#

None of that stuff post ARR mattered except for...the end of course.

pulsar escarp
#

gnb's just got combo that you know, isn't just 123

glossy flare
#

yea but war is "Fell Cleave go brrr"

pulsar escarp
#

most tank mains who can't be bothered can't cope lol

vital ruin
#

The combos aren't that difficult imo

faint flare
#

Gunbreaker is the most active tank out of all the 4 tanks

pulsar escarp
#

you said people thought they were

#

there's why

faint flare
#

Due to the ammo combo

vital ruin
#

Youre talking about the cartridge combos right?

warm snow
#

Combo, singular

pulsar escarp
#

it's just unique and some people can't be bothered to understand it

glossy flare
#

GNB has a more melee dps feel to it

pulsar escarp
#

nothing that hard about it

warm snow
#

As has been said: 3 dps in a trenchcoat
