BLU still gets normal exp from fates, right? Still better to just kill individual mobs?
faint flare
Yes
latent sluice
cool. 3 levels above is the best way to get exp, right? I forget if I start missing once it's more
faint flare
If you can kill higher than go for it
latent sluice
does the bonus go higher than 3 levels?
faint flare
The bonus is on all mobs lv70 and under

keen pine
any tips on chat log filter settings?
latent sluice
so there's a bonus for defeating things 3 levels above your level, but killing something 10 levels above is a higher bonus?
slate arrow
it's a universal bonus
BLU just gets stupid amounts of EXP on all open world mobs up to their level cap
so yes, killing something 10 levels above has a bigger bonus
latent sluice
yes, but that's not what I'm asking about now
mmos usually have a limit to how big a bonus gets for mobs above your level
usually it's +3
slate arrow
well on this case Blu doesn't
You'll get the level 70 reward no matter your level
Assuming you manage to tag a level 70 mob before it's murdered
latent sluice
compared to your personal level*
slate arrow
No, it's just the level 70 reward
The EXP rate is the same no matter your level
it's not scaled to your level
This only applies to BLU
latent sluice
normal classes don't get a bonus for mobs above their level? Not that it matters for normal classes XD
obsidian patio
overworld mob experience for non-BLU is just terrible in general past the low levels
slate arrow
if they did, it's worthless as open world mobs don't give any worthwhile amount of EXP anyways

once i've reached heavensward, is it worth picking up ironworks gear or should i just wait to reach idyllshire for the augmented gear there?

if you have lots of spare poetics you can use them to replace your weakest slots

poetics are very plentiful if you do your daily roulettes, like alliance raid and main scenario

shire gear is lv60, so not worth if you just got to hw

twilit arch

atomic arch
is unsyncing for dungeons worth it?and how does it work it says i dont get exp?
jade quartz
It's for if you want something out of it other than exp.
For example, if you need to complete a certain dungeon for a particular relic weapon quest or something
Or with stuff like extreme trials, if you want to farm the mount that can drop from it.
atomic arch
does it make the queue faster someone said it does ?
jade quartz
Instant.
faint flare
You enter with your current party
jade quartz
Unsyncing is doing it without matchmaking and without level sync.
faint flare
There is no queing
jade quartz
It's not a normal way to do dungeons.
It's for doing lower level content as a much higher level without being scaled down
atomic arch
so i should only do it with a party ?
jade quartz
so you just level crush all the monsters
atomic arch
oh ok
random girder
do it if you want to farm dungeons, basically. thats it
faint flare
Unless you're vastly overgeared you can't solo stuff
jade quartz
^ because of that
proud willow
If you're high enough level, being solo is fine. You crush stuff that's 20 levels lower
atomic arch
no i was wonderingcause i did a trial and the queue was 40 mins long and when i asked why they said its cause i was synced
random girder
what trial
proud willow
ya, that's an EX trial
faint flare
Yeah. No
random girder
yeah thats an ex trial, dont queue for that lol
faint flare
That's a extreme
atomic arch
yeah
faint flare
People don't que for thst
random girder
ex trials are done in party finder
faint flare
Only insane and masochists que for extremes
jade quartz
If you want to clear that quest off your list, then recruit some players from the party finder and do it unsynced
And a bunch of level 80s will just crush it in seconds for you so you can complete the quest.
atomic arch
how do i know if its extreme?
proud willow
although that particular one is just about the easiest synced EX in the game
faint flare
You'll never clear it in duty finder unless you're lucky
jade quartz
Minstrel's Ballads are all extremes.
random girder
how do i know if its extreme?
if it is minstrels ballad or has (extreme) at the end of it it is extreme
faint flare
Minstrel ballad or it says EXTREME in the name
atomic arch
ok thank you
proud willow
Odin's Fount is also functionally an EX since it is not in Trial Roulette
jade quartz
One exception is Urth's Fount which is a weird trial that has Extreme-level damage and healing requirements but simple mechanics
It's not put with the high-end raids in the duty finder list, but it is exempt from the trial roulette
boreal storm
If you didn't do it for plot reasons, it's an extreme
jade quartz
just a weird oddball trial.
random girder
If you didn't do it for plot reasons, it's an extreme
this, but there is also a trial series for every expansion other than arr that is not extreme (there are ex variants but the normal series + story is not)
proud willow
also, the Binding Coil of Bahamut raids are Savage (higher than EX) even though they're not marked as such
those aren't even in Mentor Roulette so you'll really never get a party if you queue up normally
atomic arch
wait so for most story related dungeons do i just use the duty finder?
random girder
yes
jade quartz
Yes
faint flare
Yes
random girder
for all
anything except ex trials and savage raids you will queue normally
unless it is SUPER dead content and youre dps, in which case pf might be faster
faint flare
Anything with extreme, savage, minstrel ballad or binding coils in the name you shouldn't use duty finder for and should use party finder
jade quartz
The only thing that has a story which you need to use the party finder for (and probably unsync) is the Coils of Bahamut, which is an optional side story at level 50.
atomic arch
so for those should i stay synced ? or unsynced?
random girder
duty finder is synced
faint flare
Story stuff you can que
random girder
always sync for any story stuff, like you have been up to 50 (assumign you didnt skip)
atomic arch

cause all crafters use materials from almost every other crafter

crafting is basically most useful for making gil, crafting your own gear isnt super useful except on raid patches

For NIN, does GCD during Ten Chi Jin work a bit differently?
Like, I usually have no problem double weaving as NIN. But I feel like for the oGCD window before Ten Chi Jin and after it. If I try to fit in a Bhavacakra into Tenchijin into Ninjitsu, Or Ninjitsu into Bhavacakra into Meisui, I feel like I'm visibly clipping.
Is it just me or is this a thing?

Oh
It's not effected by Huton?

I see
Right, Ninjitsu is not a Weaponskill
It's an "Ability"
Yeah, it makes sense now
Double Weaving before TCJ is fine

I was looking at a chart and it said that much was the second fastest in actions , but it feels so sluggish
Maybe because I'm still lvl 41
MCH*
vital ruin
I mean it's gcds are 2.42 which is not so fast but you'll get used to it
twilit arch
that's comparing them at lvl 80
vital ruin
What chart is that
manic rune
it's actions per minute
basically how many buttons you click on average in 1 minute of combat
that chart is from innocence extreme iirc
fading aurora
Can summoner still do good dps without the full 2 minute rotation?
vital ruin
Yup
manic rune
..no?
manic rune
you can't cut out part of your rotation because you don't like it
twilit arch
if you're not doing your full rotation, then no you're not going to be doing good dmg
Also if you're not lvl 80 then its not something to really worry about
because you're missing a huge chunk of your rotation
vital ruin
U need to do your proper rotation for optimum phases to maximize dps
fading aurora
you can't cut out part of your rotation because you don't like it
That's not what I was impling, I'm still new to the rotation so as I lear it I don't want to do like 0 dps

What if I do 
vital ruin
U get at 70
twilit arch
kindly keep in mind this isn't a place to shitpost
fading aurora
How hard is it to learn the whole 2 minute rotation
If u mess up one part how do u drop back in
twilit arch
just a matter of building up muscle memory
people look at the whole rotation and get scared of it when realistically its not that bad
vital ruin
A lot I mean a lot of practice
And it needs to be muscle memory ya
twilit arch
just break it down into its bits
fading aurora
But wouldn't muscle memory be affected if you play more than 1 class
vital ruin
I did my doggo farms with SMN just so that I could imbed that rotation into memory
fading aurora
I think I can learn it probably
honest anvil
learning the 2 min rotation is the ez, most basic part
vital ruin
Depends on how long you practice
fading aurora
Gonna sit at a target dummy for 5 hrs practicing
honest anvil
it’s what to do after
fading aurora
manic rune
you learn to switch your muscle memory mindset after learning different classes
also, it helps to put similar actions across classes on the same buttons
twilit arch
also helps if you keep like abilities on the same keybinds
so if you have your aoe rotation on 4-5-6 on one job for example
should be the same keybinds for all jobs if possible
manic rune
yeah, my arms length/surecast is always on the same keybind
my 1-2-3 for tanks are on the same buttons too
fading aurora
In guild wars 2 I had a 5 minute rotation for mesmer the hardest class I'm sure I'll do fine for summoner 2 mins, Thanx again guys for the tips and stuff
twilit arch
not everything is going to fit nice and neatly on same keybinds, but it helps to keep things roughly similar

They’re split up between the three city states
You can unlock the crafting classes in the starting city-states.

leaden ginkgo
what do i get in my city limsa
obsidian patio
Limsa also has Fisher
obsidian patio
I copied from a previous message I did of it

no because it makes materials that other crafters are going to need
this is not like wow w

But yes, for gatherers Gridania has botanist, uldah has miner, and Limsa has fisher

...are you sure
glad comet
Yes
dire prawn
Yes
glad comet

glad comet
you might as well level every crafter at the same time
leaden ginkgo
im actually enjoying it
dire prawn
All of the crafters use materials from other crafters
glad comet
for example

And craft things that other crafters need
dire prawn
You don't have to pick up Culinarian though
twilit arch
this is an example of the mats you need for a casting chest at lvl 80

Eventually it becomes as mixed as “this chestpiece made by leatherworker also wants materials from goldsmith, blacksmith, and Alchemist”

Is this a downgrade? You lose out on crit?
rigid narwhal
Is this a downgrade? You lose out on crit?
what class are you playing
rdm/smn it's a downgrade
blm it can be an upgrade
so long as you hit a sps tier
and dont just miss it
but again - you lose out on crit
wispy shell
smn. how come it's a downside? is direct hit a bad stat?
rigid narwhal
spell speed is a bad stat
as smn you want to always be between 2.48s and 2.5s on your ruin 3 cast time
this is for alignment with your own skills
wispy shell
so this is a huge upgrade? getting rid of spell speed
rigid narwhal
massive upgrade
you should prioritise in this order
weapon > eliminate spell speed > crit > dh => det
wispy shell
all he cryptlurker stuff apart from hat/shirt don't have spellspeed so thats good
rigid narwhal
yeah neither does the exarchic
wispy shell
but the shirt give a lot of stats would it still be worth it
rigid narwhal
don't forget you can run eden normals for the gear that doesn't have sps
that is 510
which, while it's lower ilvl
is a gain for smn/rdm
as you lose so much alignment without 2.48/2.5 GCD
you should aim for 2.5 quite hard
2.48 i said, but it isn't optimal
apart from 2 fights this tier, which are only because there is downtime within them
so you restart from scratch, long term alignment matters little
2.48 you will still misalign, just slowly
2.5 you will not so long as you keep uptime
leaden ginkgo
Then yeah you’ll want to search for the free trial
I got the free trial now
But the game still says not register
rigid narwhal
but the shirt give a lot of stats would it still be worth it
forgot to answer the question, no. don't get the shirt
it's a downgrade
patent citrus
main stats is still intelligence -_-
you seems totally ignorning that
crit/sps, those are just substats
rigid narwhal
you're wrong tho, main stat is not the prio for rdm/smn
you are avoiding sps heavily
patent citrus
I think SMN is around 2.4++
rigid narwhal
it's not, it's 2.48->2.5
with full alignment at 2.5
otherwise you are leaving damage on the table
basically, smn's rotation is a 110-120s rotation
this is fixed.
rigid narwhal
your main goal is to avoid hardcasting dots, so you are fixed to your tridisaster cooldown, or other skills that refresh tridisaster
exactly
yes
wispy shell
rigid narwhal
basically you lose 2gcd's of damage when you hardcast dots
so you do that once in a 110/120s rotation
if you run a different spell speed then that is different
it gets weird and ruined
jade quartz
Uh
rigid narwhal
if you follow any rotation guide, it will not work unless you are at 2.48/2.5gcd
jade quartz
33 main stat
patent citrus
since when???
jade quartz
It’s worth it.
jade quartz
Remeld to reach desired gcd
rigid narwhal
false
jade quartz
But absolutely get the upgrade.
rigid narwhal
there is no anti sps meld
jade quartz
The upgrade has less sps
wispy shell
ill just have to pray i get the shirt/hat from paradims since they're 520 and dont have sps
🙏
rigid narwhal
yeah do that
get the pants, as you drop sps
dont get the shirt, even though it has more int
as despite that, it is a loss due to the sps
jade quartz

dire prawn
Walk around and you'll find two Imperials guarding a shield generator

jade quartz
I’d like to get another opinion to weigh in on this...
rigid narwhal
nope
wispy shell
thats nice i could just grind it up to the current tier of it then
wispy shell
unless they're gonna make the 2nd last step easier once the last step comes out?
rigid narwhal
just avoid sps
wispy shell
how does it work with relics
patent citrus
are you looking for the SMN starter set? 🤔
wispy shell
the current steps for it dont seem too bad its mostly grinding old content
patent citrus
can just follow this one https://etro.gg/gearset/03cbeb51-d7a1-40f2-ae2f-b5876823c93d
rigid narwhal
you'll notice how hard that avoids spell speed
wispy shell
man would love EX 525 dia weapon but i don't think I'm ready for that trial 
rigid narwhal
in this case
ilvl is a gain
530 ilvl over 226 sps is a dps gain
530 ilvl over 510 ilvl
it's a dps gain, not a gain for you
you want to learn smn correctly, stay 2.5 or 2.48
rigid narwhal
far from that
blissful atlas
another noobish question - can i craft with the mats i have in my bank?
rigid narwhal
your goal as rdm/smn is to avoid sps in gearing
there's a reason that rdm/smn took whatever could avoid them the most sps in week 1
as its alignment is heavy
for this, wasting tomes and an upgrade mat for a sps piece you don't use for any bis is dumb
patent citrus
really serious since SMN gameplay is really punishing, good to know o_o
rigid narwhal
you've still gotta farm that and spend a week for the tomes
