questions-and-help

[modest igloo]

you'd still need to play through the raids tho

[warm snow]

You won't have to play through the msq related dungeons

[modest igloo]

since you can't que into normal content as a blue mage

you could use your lvl 70 class for the normals

[ripe hound]

Is Crystal Tower MSQ dungeons?

[buoyant flame]

Ah then whats Paragon talking aboutb

[remote lintel]

crystal tower is neither msq nor a dungeon

[twilit arch]

it does get completed with the skip though

[warm snow]

It's kinda msq now

[twilit arch]

its required for msq

[ripe hound]

Right, so after buying the story skip, first thing is do crystal tower to continue MSQ right?

[twilit arch]

no

the skip completes it

[ripe hound]

Oh, nice

[modest igloo]

blue mage can't use the duty finder for raids and normal content

[buoyant flame]

thats a relief

I don’t really care about that

[modest igloo]

you can use the party finder for them tho

[buoyant flame]

And have known that for months

[ripe hound]

Blue Mage can still be quite fun right?

[buoyant flame]

I only want to get the blue mage

Yeah it is

[ripe hound]

Also Blue Mage max level is 70?

[buoyant flame]

Like actual customization of your abilities

Yepo

[modest igloo]

its strong, just kinda limited

great for relics tho

[buoyant flame]

Used to be 60, now its 70

[ripe hound]

I got every job to lv 30 now. Except BLU being at 7 lol

[lunar shale]

so when i get lvl 60 and am able to get dancer (shadowbringer ofc) does it start my dancer at lvl 60 or do i have to level it up from 1 to 80 still?

[warm snow]

You'll still need to progress msq to access a lot of your spells

[buoyant flame]

i mostly just wanna explore the world organically

[modest igloo]

starts ay 60

[warm snow]

60

[buoyant flame]

yeah but that i don’t mind

[ripe hound]

It’s not like that for all jobs though

[buoyant flame]

i already have the blue mage

[lunar shale]

thank god lol

[ripe hound]

Some jobs start at 30

[warm snow]

Jobs introduced in heavensward start at 30, stormblood at 50, shadowbringers at 60 and the new Endwalker jobs will start at 70

[buoyant flame]

so im not wasting my time on dungeons that drop randomized garbage and actually get rewarded for completing them

[warm snow]

You can't progress msq as blue mage

[buoyant flame]

i know that but i don’t really wanna play the msq

[modest igloo]

what msq have you played?

[ripe hound]

Can Blue Mage raise in battle?

[modest igloo]

you need to beat 3.0 and 4.0 to unlock all blue mage content

[warm snow]

msq is the majority of the game is all ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[faint flare]

Yes, with a 400s Cooldown

[buoyant flame]

its an mmo

i wanna play the mmo

[warm snow]

It's a final fantasy game first, mmo second

[ripe hound]

Welp it’s something

[modest igloo]

its a final fantasy game first, mmo second

[buoyant flame]

i don’t need quests to have fun

uhhhh how

[twilit arch]

y'all dont need to be arguing with them about this

[ripe hound]

It’s half and half

[twilit arch]

if they wanna buy the skip to just play blue mage, then that's fine

[warm snow]

That's straight up the design philosophy

[modest igloo]

its a numbered part of the series

[ripe hound]

The MMO part is after the FF part though

[buoyant flame]

Literally there are no subclasses, no interclass synergy like in ff, no passives

[modest igloo]

once you finish msq then the mmo part kicks into high gear

[twilit arch]

that said though, you can't ignore the msq entirely, even if you buy the latest msq skip as all it does is put you at the start of the latest expansion

[warm snow]

If you're expecting it to play like wow or something we're warning you in advances

[modest igloo]

there used to be

[buoyant flame]

Wow was even more boring

[warm snow]

Story focused single player jrpg first, mmo second

[buoyant flame]

I wanna play a mmo ff game. This just isn’t it

this has so far all of the same issues i had with wow

[warm snow]

there's always 11

[modest igloo]

FF11 i guess lol

[buoyant flame]

yeah at this point i think i might

[warm snow]

This just might not be what you think you want is all

[modest igloo]

its ok not to like ff14

[short jasper]

To be fair, the last mainline FF with classes and synergy was FF10-2 so

[modest igloo]

its not for everyone

[ripe hound]

Yeah, I think FF11 might be a good game too

[buoyant flame]

i think im just sad that i can see something that i know ill have fun with

[ripe hound]

It’s more MMO and less theme park I think?

[buoyant flame]

and just can feel the game fighting me at every turn to get to it

[ripe hound]

I’m not sure, I only played FF14 as my MMO lol

[modest igloo]

its very theme park

[ripe hound]

I see

[modest igloo]

the story of this game is really damn good tho

[open coral]

It's less sandbox and more JRPG

[buoyant flame]

i haven’t played an mmo since i was kid and that one died so its why its hard to really care about ones that waste my time

[twilit arch]

I think though this conversation is better suited elsewhere

[short jasper]

FF14 isn't like your classic FF where you get a job and go through and customize your character build. it's more like your classic FF where you get what you get as you level and you go through and experience the story with a changing range of chracter. More FF4 than FF5.

[twilit arch]

unless you have questions about ff14

[modest igloo]

fair, we answered their question.

[ripe hound]

Let’s talk about, uh, e12s!
Do you pot like at 6m for both phase 1 and 2?

[faint flare]

My group pots after Lions and after Advanced

[modest igloo]

hell if i know

[faint flare]

You'll only get 2 pots in the fight on each phase

[warm snow]

Imagine getting to advanced

[ripe hound]

Also e11s pots at 4m30 because you can get in at least 3 pots right?

[warm snow]

[faint flare]

You can get 3 in 11s unless you're killing fast

[ripe hound]

kk

So like while parsing you might choose to pot at 6m for e11s

Also are both 9s and 10s shorter than 9m?

Or is it that most groups kills it before 9m?

[faint flare]

All depends on your kill times

[ripe hound]

I see

[fallen niche]

So for the quest "seeking Inspiration" I can only get 1 volume per day right

[fickle rampart]

I'm already 7 lvls higher than the MSQ on a preferred realm. Do i just HAVE to get a 2nd class at this point? seems like a hue waste of exp to not?

[faint flare]

Have to. No..
But If you want to be efficient then you can

[ripe hound]

How long is SAM’s rotation? 120s?

[faint flare]

60s

[ripe hound]

Nice

Ninja is 60s and 120s

What is BLM? Free style?

[faint flare]

Constant/all the time...but 90s with leylines

[ripe hound]

I see

And WAR is mostly 90s right?

[faint flare]

90s

[ripe hound]

AST’s divination is 120s?

Same with SCH?

[faint flare]

!action Divination

Powered by XIVAPI

[faint flare]

Yeah

[ripe hound]

Cool

[twilit arch]

no you can get all 3 in one day

[ripe hound]

I’ll ask my raid leader to change to 6m pot

[fallen niche]

Oh, cool.

[twilit arch]

the quest doesn't care if you get the daily bonus or not

its just run the roulette

[rancid gull]

hi, just curious is the fan festival going to have any information about end walker during Saturday?

[faint flare]

Yes

That's the whole point of fanfest

[rancid gull]

so it's not just sunday

[ripe hound]

Likely it’s gonna be 90% of Fanfest

[faint flare]

The keynote is where the details will be

[rancid gull]

yeah, the way they worded it it sounded like they were gonna do music stuff on saturday

[ripe hound]

Oh, I thought the first half is Endwalker?

[twilit arch]

the opening keynotes are going to be about endwalker

[ripe hound]

Yeah Endwalker stuff should be focused at the start of Fanfest

[little swift]

keynote is less than 24 hours away

[rancid gull]

oh okay, glad for you guys to be able to confirm this to me then, me and the wife will be watching on Saturday then we kinda were hoping for news instead of having to wait until Sunday.

[little swift]

thats the 6.0 stuff

[ripe hound]

Also do we have a channel in this discord to talk while Fanfest is live?

[twilit arch]

#retired-patch-6-3-discussion

[ripe hound]

Nice

[little swift]

its not saturday sunday if you're on NA

[rancid gull]

thanks for the info

[ripe hound]

99% chance the other new class will be spoiled right?

[faint flare]

They'll tell us

[ripe hound]

YoshiP: “What other new class?”

[open ember]

Not really a spoiler he already said he'd tell us

There's been hints at it

[ripe hound]

Right, what I meant is like preview

[open ember]

But that's all for now

[faint flare]

Expect full trailer and reveal of the new melee minimum, and maybe abit more specific release window

[open ember]

Yeah we'll get a preview

[ripe hound]

What is it called... oh yeah Announcement

Wait is it confirmed it’s a new Melee?

[open ember]

Yes

[ripe hound]

I see

[open ember]

It uses Maiming gear

[ripe hound]

Nice

[modest igloo]

shares DRG gear yeah

[ripe hound]

So it seems like fights will more be designed with 2 Tank 2 Healer 2 Melee 2 Ranged in mind then

[faint flare]

Not really

[modest igloo]

eh

i mean triple melee has been used by some comps

[faint flare]

3 ranged and 3 melee is still fine (but 3 melee is kinda cursed)

[ripe hound]

I see

[open ember]

That comp is the usual goto for pf

No doubles

[faint flare]

The 3rd ranged just flexes as the melee

[ripe hound]

I just felt that picking only 1 melee while there are 5 melee jobs feels a bit Batman

[warm snow]

Good melee can out dps most ranged, but you still want the bonuses for having party variety

[ripe hound]

The same suffering of picking 2 healers when there are only 3

[faint flare]

Soon 4

[twilit arch]

4th dps spot is usually going to be flex regardless

[ripe hound]

Yeah

I just kinda wish caster gets nerfed to be like Ranged lol

Since I main Ranged

[warm snow]

Couple that with the support of addle and the ranged physical defensive skills is why you usually get 1 ranged, 1 caster, 2 melee

[little swift]

double melee isn't the standard

you just run whatever tbh

[ripe hound]

Or more like ranged physical being buffed to have somewhat caster DPS

[little swift]

as long as party bonus is met

[ripe hound]

I see

[little swift]

it only mildly matters in speedkills

[modest igloo]

my static runs 2 caster

[ripe hound]

Yeah, I just want the balance, the balance of jobs being
4 pick 2, 4 pick 2, 5 pick 2, 3 pick 1, 3 pick 1

[faint flare]

Having 3 ranged (be it double caster or double physical range) is pretty damn comfy

[ripe hound]

I just really don’t like the 3 pick 2 experience...

it’s like, there is always the “leftover choice”

[modest igloo]

one of our casters is a BLM so we just give him uptime strats lmao

[ripe hound]

Lmao

[faint flare]

Letting the Caster flex to be the second melee is better cause then they can just sit and cast while the ranged do their thing

[ripe hound]

I see

[faint flare]

Let's my small brain turn itself off

[ripe hound]

I always thought the melee need to run around and do weird stuff

[faint flare]

Only when mechanics say so

[ripe hound]

Yeah, for e9s tiles, is melee spot actually easier?

[faint flare]

Like for Lions in 12s, Melees take 1 big lion but ranged takes 2 of them

[ripe hound]

Because I was always super afraid of doing melee tiles

I see

[faint flare]

Eh tbh I feel like Ranged tiles are easier cause depending on the cleave you don't need to move...especially if you're north/south

[ripe hound]

Like I was in a PF with 3 ranged, and be like “DNC can you do Melee”
DNC: “sure but aren’t you RDM?”

Yeah, I’m just super afraid of the cleave

[little swift]

i would agree with the north/south tiles bit, though rdm would probably want to fake melee, or you lose a use of manafic in raidbuffs

[ripe hound]

Yeah

[open ember]

Rdm should fake melee

[faint flare]

they already are a fake melee

[open ember]

If you cannot flex spots in pf then why do pf

[ripe hound]

Me being like: “Hey look I’m ranged! I have reprise!”

[little swift]

minimize reprise usage

[ripe hound]

Smooth DPS like how smooth my brain is

Yeah

[faint flare]

It's why it's important to learn bow the mechanic itself works oppose to learn what you're supposed to do for it

[warm snow]

#rants at this point

[ripe hound]

Yeah

[faint flare]

Once you know how a Mechanic works you can just figure out how other roles do their job

[thick sapphire]

Is there a place to check where it's valid to create a new character? I want to refer a friend but he said when he created a character on free trial it wouldn't let them on my server.

[ripe hound]

Yeah, I think it’s just that I never did melee tiles so I was super scared

[open coral]

Which server?

[faint flare]

Server status page on lodestone says when servers are up

Though it can be abit behind

[thick sapphire]

It said the server was full, not that it was down

[open coral]

!faq worldstatus

[zinc orbit]

World status and restrictions

https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/worldstatus/

[twilit arch]

!faq serverlock

[zinc orbit]

Why can't I enter this server?

Standard, Preferred, and New Servers will dynamically open and close themselves from newly created characters depending on how many players are online. To ensure you're able to make a new character on your server try waiting or doing so at a less active time of day.
Congested Servers will not unlock for new players or transfers until Square Enix removes the Congested Status.

[faint flare]

Yeah, it shows when it's open for creation

[cosmic parrot]

is discipled of hand and land just all non combat jobs

[twilit arch]

yes

[thick sapphire]

Hand = crafting, Land = Gathering

So even a referred friend cannot create on my server then 😦

[little swift]

they can, they just need to wait for now

there aren't any congested worlds at this time

[open coral]

!status Adamantoise

[zinc orbit]

Information

Adamantoise is currently Online
This server is currently: Standard
Creation of New Characters Unavailable

[little swift]

thats not congested status

[open coral]

That's not congested, that's temporary lock

[ripe hound]

Also is it possible for RDM to do like SMN damage?

[little swift]

again refer to the serverlock faq

[open coral]

Too many people online right now

[little swift]

this one

[open coral]

Have your friend wait until off-peak hours to create a character

[vernal urchin]

My friend couldn't create a character on lamia until like 1am, just gotta wait till people log off

[thick sapphire]

Are referral codes timed? I just sent him the code, but he may not purchase and register until tomorrow

[open coral]

Yes, but I think it's like 24 or 48 hours or something.

[thick sapphire]

Nevermind I'm a moron

Says right here Recruitment codes remain valid for 120 days.

[open coral]

Oh yeah.

There it is

[thick sapphire]

Silly words.

[thorny forge]

if im playing solo, does it matter which world i chose? im on siren and i have no idea if i should have chosen another one or if it even matters

[faint flare]

No

[open coral]

Nope

[faint flare]

Everything is cross server within the data centre

Except guilds and housing so doesn't matter

[thorny forge]

ah cool

thanks

[solemn plume]

umm do I have to bring bait into the diadem lol

[ripe hound]

Also Market Board selling can only be done on your world.
But you can buy stuff after traveling to other worlds.

[thorny forge]

good to know, thanks fam

[ripe hound]

Yeah it’s really not that useful, but some people might prefer low population servers because they can sell stuff at higher prices due to lower supply

But it’s really really uncommon

[vernal urchin]

I'm pretty sure you can buy bait in the diadem from someone in the area you start in

[thorny forge]

yeah im pretty far away from being concerned wth that i think, im just about to hit lvl 45

[ripe hound]

Yeah just enjoy the game

[viscid fossil]

Got PLD question here the GCD... is still valid today?

[modest igloo]

ye

[remote lintel]

check the balance

[viscid fossil]

Right now I'm ilvl501 ..with

no materias...

Like not even trying to get SKS

[modest igloo]

you got too much SKS on your gear then

[viscid fossil]

It's all Bozjan set + Crystlurker

[modest igloo]

yeah, thats why most people don't use the bozjan set

use the ilvl 510 gear on the MB as a base

[viscid fossil]

Well I dont have even tomestones for blues lol haha

All gone to my SMN

[warm snow]

5.4 bis will be valid until 5.55 when we get the final relic weapons

The only thing that's really changed is prog sets since now have access to augmented exarchic gear, bozja gear and nier gear

[uncut hedge]

any1 know why the paladin quest wouldnt show after hitting 30 glad?

[modest igloo]

!faq job

[zinc orbit]

How do I unlock my job?

To unlock your class' job you need to be level 30, complete all of your class quests and the main scenario quest 'Sylph Management' (lvl 20 quest) to be able to pick up your job unlock quest. Once you've done the initial unlock quest, you will be given a soul crystal which you must equip to become your class' job.

[uncut hedge]

aha, msq it is

thanks

[modest igloo]

np

[warm snow]

If you can't do something yet it's probably msq

[tardy tangle]

so, how long is a realm reborn generally?

[warm snow]

About 30 hours

Iirc

[modest igloo]

30 ish hours

i read everything tho

[tardy tangle]

heavensward?

[little swift]

Base arr is 30 post is an additional 19

[ripe hound]

How do I solve the classic i2501 again?

[modest igloo]

20 hours not including post patches

which are another 15

[tardy tangle]

so, in total, it's about 65 hours?

[little swift]

Think 2 full size jrpgs

So about 50 hours each before side content

[jade quartz]

Try using a different browser, turning off VPN or firewall if you have it, or try doing it via mobile data hotspot or a different device.

[tardy tangle]

wait, how long is the original FF VII

[modest igloo]

50 hours?

[ripe hound]

Right VPN

[tardy tangle]

just wanted a frame of reference

[jade quartz]

The error usually means MogStation’s anti fraud doesn’t like something about your device or network.

[warm snow]

Jrpgs tend to be pretty long

[ripe hound]

What is the ilv of the gear you can exchange with Hunt tokens again? 490?

[warm snow]

Depends on the tokens

[fiery pagoda]

which jobs use off hand besides paladin?

[modest igloo]

tokens for 530 gear

[jade quartz]

Crafters and gatherers

[warm snow]

Crafters and gatherers

[tardy tangle]

the longest I've spent with an RPG was I think 20 hours, and that was with Ikenfell

[ripe hound]

I mean the nuts one

[fiery pagoda]

oh

[jade quartz]

And BLM/WHM occasionally during 1–50

[modest igloo]

440, 470

[ripe hound]

I see

[warm snow]

You'd want to spend the nuts on augments for the tome gear

[ripe hound]

Is there a Gear ilv calculator?

[warm snow]

Old tome gear can also be bought with the nuts although that's pretty much exclusively for glamour

[warm snow]

Sum of item level / number of usable slots

[ripe hound]

I'm trying to see if I can do diamond EX with a 470 weapon lol

[warm snow]

It's an average

[modest igloo]

buy it off the MB cheapo /s

[little swift]

Ilvl is just average of all your items equipped

[ripe hound]

Nope

[little swift]

Weapon is worth 2

[jade quartz]

Note 2h weapons count for two slots

Yeah

[warm snow]

It counts all slots so if unequipping reduces your average

[little swift]

Yes

[warm snow]

I used that to force alex/omega on normal roulette when I was farming poetics

[little swift]

Thats how ilvl cheese works

[warm snow]

You can get a 485 weapon for 1000 poetics very easily

[ripe hound]

Yeah I was just trying to figure if there is a way to enter Diamond EX as PLD without spending my Diamond Totems...

[modest igloo]

a lot of farms are at 520 now

at least on crystal

[ripe hound]

Welp I'll just farm Diamond with other class I don't have Diamond weapon first lol

Yeah, at least I could make my own 510 diamond ex farm party

[modest igloo]

fair

[ripe hound]

In theory I could also just create a PF and enter to duty while being 505... But I think that's a bit way too rude

Dies to spread -> "Healers Adjust!"
/s

[warm snow]

Then your other gear will need to have a total ilevel of 4630

So 505+

[ripe hound]

Yeah

[oak ice]

The damage is so low in diamond anyway that you won't die in i500

[ripe hound]

lol

[warm snow]

510 is average over 10 gear slots

510*10 =5100 - 470 = 4630 /9 =514.333333

Sorry my mistake everything else needs to be at least 515

So 520

[ripe hound]

Yeah I think there are 11 slots not counting weapon

So 13 slots in total

[warm snow]

Too late to math

[ripe hound]

lol

[remote lintel]

ilvl is all gear pieces added divided by 13

[ripe hound]

I know! It's this thing dragging my ilv down!
/s

Removes -> Gets Nier Au[T]omata Ending

[warm snow]

Go eat a fish

[warm snow]

And it's more often removes -> forgets -> "why can't I equip my artifact gear?"

[ripe hound]

lol

[leaden ginkgo]

Is my lalafell a child?

[remote lintel]

no

[leaden ginkgo]

So its not a loli

[warm snow]

Is a person with dwarfism a child?

Same logic

[warped seal]

why the fuck are we on this topic

[warm snow]

FBI would like to know your location

[modest igloo]

say the line yen!

[remote lintel]

why did you call your character an it lol

[leaden ginkgo]

no i just ask

She*

😦

[jade quartz]

Not relevant to this channel, or this server frankly.

[leaden ginkgo]

Sorry the race was just a little confusing

I didnt know if they were small or children

[jade quartz]

They’re small.

[remote lintel]

theyre just naturally short

[open ember]

[warm snow]

Fantasy midget race, think dwarves or fae folk

[leaden ginkgo]

Alright thanks

[jade quartz]

But they have childlike features, so if you were thinking of being weird about them, don’t.

[warm snow]

[leaden ginkgo]

👀

[modest igloo]

classes, not jobs, can que into savage content right?

[open ember]

Let us... Just settle on the fact they're dwarves meaning little people. Moving on

[modest igloo]

with a preformed party

[jade quartz]

Yes.

[warped seal]

Yes? You're severely, and I mean severely, gimped if you do so.

[warm snow]

Can does not mean should

[modest igloo]

even high-end duties?

[faint flare]

Preformed parties removes all que requirements

[twilit arch]

premade parties ignore requirements

[faint flare]

Outside if needing it unlocked

[modest igloo]

ok all requirements

[warped seal]

I catch you on a class in anything above lvl 35 and I'm reaching for the kick button.

[modest igloo]

my next question; do you think an all class comp can beat E1S?

[warm snow]

People have done one of the ultimates with all tanks

[remote lintel]

no

[faint flare]

You're missing alot of mitigation

No shields

[warm snow]

All tanks, maybe, but I honestly doubt it

And I don't even know e1s

[modest igloo]

well you have holmgang as MAR

[cosmic parrot]

Is levehests this games version of dungeons?

[warm snow]

No

[remote lintel]

no

[faint flare]

No

[remote lintel]

dungeons are dungeons

levequests are repeatable quests

[warm snow]

Leves are repeatable quests

[jade quartz]

Levequests, guildhests

No levehests

[cosmic parrot]

Not the levequests. The hests in the duty finder

[warm snow]

Guildhests are tutorials

[remote lintel]

no

[warped seal]

It's not happening, let's just put it like that. There's no "what ifs" here. You're missing so much of your kit as a class vs job that you would be functionally worthless.

[warm snow]

Basically

[remote lintel]

guildhests are tutorials

[jade quartz]

No they’re like obsolete tutorial duties

[cosmic parrot]

Oh its guildhest. I thought it was levehests my b

[remote lintel]

dungeons exist in this game

[modest igloo]

but with BiS gear they can still do a lot of damage even with the crap kit esp with echo

[remote lintel]

theyre literally called dungeons

[jade quartz]

You’ll get your first dungeon at level 15 in the main story.

[cosmic parrot]

I havent unlocked them yet then. I got guidhests though

[warped seal]

The fact that you're suggesting this tells me you haven't played much.

[warm snow]

Maybe they could beat an Alex savage unsynced but that's not the point

[modest igloo]

the secrit to this convo is that i've asked on the balance and they said you could it would be hard tho

[jade quartz]

Classes do not do “a lot of damage”.

[warm snow]

And even then savages are far more mechanically demanding than I think you realise

[warped seal]

off the top of my head, as GLD, you are missing: Royal Authority, your entire magic combo, and a bunch of your personal mitigation skills.

[jade quartz]

That’s also what we told you.

[velvet bobcat]

As a relatively new player (level 30 msq 19) do I need to worry about what the new stuff from the Fan Fest tomorrow or naw?

[jade quartz]

It’s doable but it wouldn’t be very enjoyable

[warm snow]

Naw

[remote lintel]

@velvet bobcat it will be talking about endgame stuff so i wouldnt risk it

[modest igloo]

yeah thats true, i was speculating

[warm snow]

Only thing you need to worry about is belts being removed and that's not til fall

[slate arrow]

They will be revealing 6.0 content which will contain spoilers

[modest igloo]

tbf that's also not really in the scope of this chat

[slate arrow]

as well as 5.5 live letter on the second day

[velvet bobcat]

Ohh okay

[warm snow]

Watch the concert maybe to see how good the music gets but simultaneously high chance of spoils

[modest igloo]

1600 hours but ok man

[slate arrow]

shoo. out of my qna

[modest igloo]

i am done. im am ok

[velvet bobcat]

I’m guessing I have a long way to go before remotely end game stuff lol

[warm snow]

Very

But it's a fun journey

[remote lintel]

by endgame stuff i meant the end of the story which has spoilers

[slate arrow]

Enjoy the ride. FFXIV is a FF game, it has an excellent story

[warm snow]

Endgame is 3 soon to be 4 expansions away

And each expansion would be an entire games worth of content

Give or take

[velvet bobcat]

Oh dang

[trail mulch]

hey can I change my retainers name lol

[warm snow]

What did you do...

[slate arrow]

With a retainer fantasia, yes

[twilit arch]

yes, with a retainer fantasia

[jade quartz]

Yes with retainer fantasia, which is cheap on the marketboard

[trail mulch]

lmao nth big, just named it after my ex lol

[jade quartz]

Lets you edit appearance, name and personality

[trail mulch]

realized it only after I opened my retainer ytd cuz I’m always damn lazy to open my retainers

[warm snow]

...awkward... I'd buy you a retainer fantasia if I could but I'm on a different data center

[trail mulch]

XD yahuh it was awks to open retainer

was thinking of fantaing em

thx anyw I shall cop that retainer fanta

[tender topaz]

is tehre a reason my gear stays spiritbond at 1%?

[fallen niche]

Can you re watch the cutscenes from the quest that starts ishgardian restoration? I'm not seeing them in the unending journey, nor in NG+

[faint flare]

You need to fight enemies equal level

[whole wasp]

spiritbound rises very slowly if you are not hitting approriate mobs or approriate crafts

if you hit lvl 15 with lvl 80 gear, it takes forever

[warm snow]

You'll only gain spirit bond in content on appropriately levelled content

[tender topaz]

ah that makes sense, thanks!

[warm snow]

Durability still gets used up tho

[elfin wagon]

whats the emote where u talk 2 the air i cannot rmbr

[whole wasp]

/converse ?

[fading aurora]

are there any legs like Faire Kohakama that u can buy?

[elfin wagon]

like it loops

[whole wasp]

idk any converse type emote thats persistent

[whole wasp]

the shisui kohakama set can be farmed from the shisui of the violet tides dungeon but you can't buy it unfortunately

[ripe hound]

Is Monk actually a decent choice for Dancer?
I just noticed Monk seems to do surprisingly lot of damage, and also personal damage too.

[fading aurora]

are there any similar legs that look close to it?

[whole wasp]

lvl 63 dungeon. nope. its pretty unique

[fading aurora]

that i dont need to farm? i spent the last 4 hrs trying to get a hood

[plain python]

what does mouse-over action mean?

[whole wasp]

mouse-over macro i assume

[plain python]

what does it do?.

[whole wasp]

technically you partner whoever has the highest DPS, its just in general you pick the BLM or SAM since they usually have the highest DPS. MNK is fine if the other DPSes are derps

[ripe hound]

Yeah I was thinking I remember like DNC like people who hit fast?

[whole wasp]

mouse-over macro is a macro that activates with the target being whatever your cursor is currently mousing over

[plain python]

so I point my mouse to party member to heal without having to click on him?

does it work with party list?

[whole wasp]

technically true for saber dance but they found out that its weighted so that those with lower recast/GCD times have a higher chance of giving espirit

[twilit arch]

yes

[whole wasp]

so it balances out

[twilit arch]

if you're going to use mouse over macros, should be using the party list anyway

[whole wasp]

also boosting the DNC's dps is not a significant concern

[ripe hound]

I see

[twilit arch]

though should keep in mind that macros aren't recommended for gcd skills

[ripe hound]

Wait are Macros for oGCD abilities usually fine?

Like, the lag is minimal enough?

[whole wasp]

yes but it might still be janky for double weave

single weave should be fine

[ripe hound]

I see

That explains why a lot of people like to macro AST cards

[whole wasp]

usually only use macros for ground placement AoE

[twilit arch]

like its still not recommended for combat in general

[whole wasp]

since that definitely saves one click

[twilit arch]

but ogcd macros aren't the worst offenders, and for some it can be a nice QoL

[ripe hound]

Yeah, I'm currently only macroing Sprint

[twilit arch]

like with salted earth

[whole wasp]

ohyea. sprint macro is a good one

i have a text macro for who im ressing too

pure text tho

[ripe hound]

It's like, WHY WOULD SPRINT NOT BE AN ABILITY!

[whole wasp]

Sprint is a spell apparently

[ripe hound]

Yeah, weird

[whole wasp]

it aggros sprites. shudder

[ripe hound]

RDM: DUALCAST SPRINT!

[fresh wing]

how to use technical step for dancer

lol

[random girder]

wait sprint macro is necessary? why lol

[plain python]

sprint macro sucks. They are not very responsive 😄

[twilit arch]

sprint macro isn't necessary

but it is a qol thing

macro makes it more reliable since iirc sprint itself doesn't naturally queue like other skills

[twilit arch]

its the same concept as standard step, just 2 extra steps before using the finisher

[fresh wing]

humm

[warm snow]

Do you know if shirk macros are common?

Cuz I was planning on setting one up cuz I play on controller

[whole wasp]

yea those are common but often it only includes the text

not the action

[warm snow]

???

[whole wasp]

like
/party Shirked to <t>

so they know you casted shirk and who you shirked to

without having to deal with all the complications of macroing an action

[warm snow]

Huh, so people don't have /action Shirk <2>?

[twilit arch]

some do

[whole wasp]

you can but macros can be annoying

[warm snow]

Any reason not to?

[twilit arch]

and like said earlier, ogcds are ok to macro

[whole wasp]

for me personally, macro tends to not fire at all but its probably because of my ping

[twilit arch]

just remember to do five billion lines of it to make sure it goes off

[warm snow]

I'll try it out on some diamond exs tomorrow

[warm snow]

Yeah I have that for salted earth

[whole wasp]

if you have the text and action in a the same macro. mashing the button also causes the text to fire many times

btw

[warm snow]

I know that, I just wasn't sure if people macroed shirk

[whole wasp]

yea they do. provoke too iirc

[latent prism]

Does anyone know good archives for 5.4 world race? most ppl i know of don't have vods :(

[plain python]

if there is not enough trash monsters to pop DRK's bubble anymore, should I just use a ogcd instead, since I don't really need bubble at that point?

[ripe hound]

Ye, like just use Flood of Shadow and hit a few mobs

You should also use Flood and Edge to uncap your mana too

[plain python]

is there an in-game way to know if an attack is physical or magic?

[ripe hound]

No I don't think so

Just guess

[plain python]

like if they swing their body part at you, it is physical. If it looks like a spell, it is magic?

[ripe hound]

Yeah something like that

It mostly only matters in High end content (Ex / Savage / Ultimate)

Where details guides says what each attack does

Then you remember

[shut panther]

Most TBs are physical, most raid wides magical

[ripe hound]

For example I still have no idea if the Lazer beam from Diamond Ex's Chest is Physical or Magical

[void cargo]

For DRG stats-wise is it better to meld all 3 crit rate, direct hit and determination or just crit rate and direct hit?

[shut panther]

Crit > DH > Det

[ripe hound]

But I'm pretty sure 60 Det is better than like 42 DH

So don't overmeld

[shut panther]

Basically, you meld the highest priority you can -- give or take tiering breakpoint shitfuckery that nobody should worry about outside of trying to parse

[ripe hound]

Or just copy BiS on the Balance. BiS is good.

[jade quartz]

Depends where either hits a breakpoint

[fervent prawn]

Is there anything actually worthwhile/exclusive from trading bicolor gemstones?

[jade quartz]

Use a gear calculator for best results

Riding maps, minions and barding and orchestrion roll stuff

[modest igloo]

there are some music rolls that sell for quite alot on the mb

[fervent prawn]

Oh nice

[zinc orbit]

[void venture]

what stats does samurai focus on?

crit hit ?

[sacred apex]

I want to go to using summoner but my resistance weapon is ilv 485, but I have completed Diamond weapon(the only extreme/savage Ive ever done) though I do need voice direction. What should I do, get my resistance weapon to 515 to be ready for the next upgrade, or do the Diamond weapon and aim to get that weapon and stick to it?

[analog gate]

enough sks to loop your rotation, then crit > dh > det

[jade quartz]

SkS to tier > DH=Crit > Det

[random girder]

resistance weapon next step is in like ~2 weeks or so and will be the best weapon of the expansion when it drops

if you need better gear now, buy the exarchic weapon off the market board

[shut panther]

Resistance weapon is a fairly painful grind though.

[random girder]

^

[shut panther]

If you're capable of farming diamond I'd just do that five times and buy the weapon with towns

Totems*

Then feel out if you like smn or not with that

And you can do resistance after if you like

[sacred apex]

Oh I know I almost lost all my sanity trying to complete the samurai weapon

[shut panther]

If you've already done one it's a bit less painful

You don't need to do the void ark/rabanastre raids again

[sacred apex]

Yes, but there’s still that step that I hate the most…delebrum

[leaden ginkgo]

So when does the MSQ level catch up in levels to the player? im like 15 levels ahead of it atm

[sacred apex]

Also would it be a good idea to set up a party finder in hopes other people would help me collect all 60?

[random girder]

its normal to be overleveled, if youre in arr thats because they increased xp gain during arr recently. itll even out during the expansions but even then its normal to be ahead

[void venture]

where can i find my class quest for warrior

i cannot find in limsa'

[remote lintel]

click the quest below the msq tracker

[random girder]

^

[leaden ginkgo]

@random girderWhat can I do for gear in the mean time? Its outleveled as well

[remote lintel]

the msq gives you gear

[random girder]

dont worry about gear while leveling tbh

game gives you enough through msq and buying tome gear at 50 60 70

[leaden ginkgo]

What about for running the dungeons

[warm snow]

Msq, job quests and dungeon drops should keep you geared for anything you'll face until you finish 2.0

[remote lintel]

the msq gives you good enough gear to do dungeons

and leveling dungeons also give you gear

[cloud lake]

Having a hard time understanding sam rotation if anyone could help? I looked it up and I'm going off of this part https://ffxivrotations.com/2m0u and when I get to hissatu shinten I don't have enough kenki to do it so is there another rotation? I'm level 78 so I can do most of the rotation of the upper one

[remote lintel]

!faq samrotation

[zinc orbit]

Samurai Rotation Guide

Image URL: https://i.imgur.com/N52Dliz.png

[remote lintel]

use this

[cloud lake]

is there a site where I can zoom this in?

[remote lintel]

click the picture and click open original

also are you doing your positionals?

[unreal folio]

so quick question, decided to try out healer role and both focusing on WHM and SCH leveling at the moment. Curious if SCH is still on par on WHM in terms of end game raiding ?

prollly the question i am tryin to ask is it worth bringing a SCH to most end game raid content

[supple grail]

I need help, game crashes won't start

[remote lintel]

@unreal folio all jobs are fine in endgame

[slate arrow]

What crash are we talking about

[unreal folio]

simple enough. Thanks!

[supple grail]

I click play

then dark screen

then window closes

its my first time playing hadn't started lol

It sometimes read " An unexpected error has occured"

but that doesn't show up everytime

This is my log

Yeah I think that was a bit too personal Lol

If anyone want to see it just pm

[slate arrow]

What have you tried?

I'd assume a restart and reinstall or something :V

[supple grail]

Lol reinstall nah

It took like 6 hours

[slate arrow]

Sounds like broken drivers then

[finite topaz]

How old is yer PC?

[supple grail]

Nothing is wrong with my PC Lol

I play other stuff fine

haha

[finite topaz]

Running windows 10 right?

[supple grail]

Yeah

window 10

[finite topaz]

Hmmh...

Is there still an option to open game in Directx9?

[supple grail]

I play call of duty, valorant, etc just fine

gtav

[finite topaz]

I guess your PC is good enough then

[supple grail]

epic game, steam, etc

all fine

mx150

so yeah its perfectly fine

[finite topaz]

An unexpected error has occurred...

[supple grail]

yep

[finite topaz]

Are your graphics drivers up to date?

[supple grail]

Lol should be

[finite topaz]

I dont need that reee

Wont read it all

Is your windows up-to-date?

Have you tried reinstalling directx11 and directx9?

Modern games tend to use directx12, so maybe you'll be missing directx11

[supple grail]

hmm

how do I check my directx

[finite topaz]

Cant really check, just google for a download of that

[slate arrow]

Directx is automatically updated by windows update now

[finite topaz]

Download em, then install, then restart PC

[slate arrow]

You can't download the directx installer anymore, I think

[supple grail]

Yeah then I should be fine

[finite topaz]

You cant? Well fuck

[supple grail]

also wouldn't i need directx to play the other stuff

lol

[finite topaz]

Yeah, but most modern games use dx12

[supple grail]

other are fine

Hmm

So you are saying I might have directX12

Let me see

[slate arrow]

Ffxiv uses 11 but 12 comes with compatibility for all previous directx stuff

[supple grail]

well

idk how am i to check that anyways Lol

[finite topaz]

Well, no hurt in trying

[supple grail]

Well

I don't think directx is the issue

let me say why

I turn this off and on

both give same issue

so it isn't a matterof directx Lol

[slate arrow]

sounds like your Nvidia drivers might be fucked up them

[finite topaz]

Hmmh... wasnt there a launcher repair thingy?

[supple grail]

Yes

it doesn't work

[finite topaz]

Reinstall your nvidia drivers then

That may work

[silver lintel]

what are the best materia to weld on the aesthete's DoH set?

[supple grail]

A new issue

Lol what the

now its fine again

[slate arrow]

Depends on how much you want to spend, since you need a decent spread of all 3 stats to minimize HQ materials use

[finite topaz]

That happens when net slow

[supple grail]

Back on this page

[supple grail]

yeah probably temporary then

when I click play probably going to crash again

[finite topaz]

Did you try reinstalling Nvidia drivers?

[supple grail]

So this pops up like normal

but it just disappears

[slate arrow]

Sounds like fucked up drivers or a fucked up install

[night locust]

guys i need hunting Linkshell

[slate arrow]

One or the other. Can't really determine anything else at this point

[night locust]

or discord

[slate arrow]

#resources

[supple grail]

well idk

Is it possible mcafree antivirus might had interupt files being download

Lol

[finite topaz]

Might be

[supple grail]

well it might be anything

lol

[finite topaz]

Also, unrelated but mcafee is bad

Try reinstalling drivers

If that dont work, then reinstall game

[supple grail]

Yeah download speed took forever because mcafree taking up disk

100% like consistently

[finite topaz]

Ok... get rid of McAfee and reinstall game

[silver lintel]

@slate arrow assuming cost wasn't a factor?

[supple grail]

Not even sure if that is normal tbh

[silver lintel]

like assuming i could just pick any materia whatsoever, what'd be a good setup?

[supple grail]

Lol Im not ridding of my antivirus

[finite topaz]

I dont use antivirus, im fine, just dont download shady shit

But disable it, then reinstall game

[silver lintel]

windows defender is actually pretty good these days tbh

[finite topaz]

I also disable that

Your game isnt launching boi, so try the methods told

If u dont try anything, you aint gonna get it fixed magically

[twilit arch]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/e/2PACX-1vTnXbCjEBvNCX5u9fno-hdIL0C0ciC3nMChB2DhaWTd-v_uc5UH0TC5W9Ytgy7rWeAeIk_PPlOMSmiA/pubhtml @silver lintel pick one of the gear sets you want to aim for

[slate arrow]

Beat me to the punch :p

[silver lintel]

i have aesthete's

or most of it, gonna work on the rest

[silver lintel]

lemme see what this has

[finite topaz]

[twilit arch]

all of these meld sets assume aetheste, barring a few with relic which is noted

[slate arrow]

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[supple grail]

So not driver

[finite topaz]

That's a laptop 1050

Reinstall game then

[slate arrow]

Sounds like you need a reinstall.

[finite topaz]

Disable antivirus, disable firewall

Reinstall game, then enable all that shit back if you want to

[supple grail]

well how exactly am I to disable antivirus Lol

It practically took over my pv

pc LOl

[slate arrow]

Windows defender > disable

[supple grail]

isn't that easy

Lol

[slate arrow]

They semi sorta yell at you for turning it off which is enough of a deterrent for the uninformed

[supple grail]

Lol like I could change anything

[silver lintel]

i think it also tends to auto re-enable itself tbh without doing some internal editing

[supple grail]

and Mcafree won't let me touch them either

[slate arrow]

Well your first problem is using mcafee

[silver lintel]

agreed lol

[slate arrow]

anyways it's too late for me to deal with antivirus and I've forgotten how to troubleshoot antivirus so uh

Good luck?

[supple grail]

Lol really helpful

Is there a guide on how to use Xiv Launcher?

XIV Launcher is the third party launcher that can launch FFxiv with mods right?

[remote lintel]

no

the quicklauncher doesnt deal with mods

[ripe hound]

Oh

Also this is the Quick launcher right?
https://github.com/goatcorp/FFXIVQuickLauncher

[void venture]

im playing on steam but can i buy sub and shadowbinger from Square Enix and use their official launcher ?

[remote lintel]

yes

all platforms buy sub through mogstation

[ripe hound]

Cool, are there small plugins by default that comes with the Launcher?

[remote lintel]

no you cant use the windows launcher

@ripe hound it says plugins are community created so no

[ripe hound]

I saw this post on Reddit and decided I should probably start considering launcher
https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxivdiscussion/comments/na9s8j/what_do_you_think_of_xivlauncher_and_xivalexander/

It seems like I still need to manually find those plugins right?

[remote lintel]

yes

it links a site on the page

[ripe hound]

Oh cool, this one right?
https://goatcorp.github.io/DalamudPlugins/plugins

Thank you so much Cerberus!

[remote lintel]

[ripe hound]

Thanks!

[half scarab]

[void venture]

guys i bought the complete game idk what to do

[twilit arch]

in mor dhona, or the three starting cities if you've completed the main scenario quest "the ultimate weapon"

[manic rune]

for plugins, all you need to do is go i to the launcher settings and check an option to enable it. you don’t need to download anything extra

[void venture]

theres two

now

[ripe hound]

Oh nice, so FFXIVQuickLauncher already includes all those plugins by default? I just have to toggle them on?

Sweet

[void venture]

shd i delete my free trail

and downlaod the main game

i jsut bought the complete game

[void cargo]

anybody have a recruitment code?

[manic rune]

there’s a menu that you can install plugins from once you get into the game, but yes you won’t need to go to github and put files into a folder, though that is an option

[void venture]

i ma just download both to see

im so confused fuck steam

[worthy basin]

ohhhh so there is a discussion about xiva 🤔

[manic rune]

if you bought the game, you should be able to use the full game launcher from steam

[leaden ginkgo]

How much is it for them ,-,

[worthy basin]

type "xlplugins" when you enter the game using the launcher 😄

[manic rune]

you have to trade in crafted gear + items bought with allegory tomes

[worthy basin]

you can add remove update the plugins there

[fading aurora]

how much is what

the 520 gear?

[leaden ginkgo]

490

[manic rune]

don’t get the 490 gear anymore

it’s outdated

[fading aurora]

im not sure i closed the game lol but if u farm the roulletes u can get a lot of points

to get the gear

[worthy basin]

so you wanna get 510 hq exarchic to get the 520 aug exarchic unless you're talking about cryptlurker stuff

[manic rune]

hq exarchic gear can be crafted or bought off the marketboard

[leaden ginkgo]

I see

[manic rune]

you can’t get gear directly from those npcs

without owning the unaugmented versions

[supple grail]

Literally 12 mcafree stuff

[leaden ginkgo]

[fading aurora]

is viera the only one that gets a bandana over their eyes with the yohra hoodie>?

[twilit arch]

no, its part of the hood

can be en/disabled with /visor

[leaden ginkgo]

oh cool, thanks Kael :)

[fading aurora]

im looking on the glamour website at a miqote and it does not have the bandana over the eyes wearing the hoodie

[twilit arch]

yeah because they disabled it with /visor

[fading aurora]

i need to learn commands theres so many

[twilit arch]

its also one of the buttons on the character sheet

at the bottom

[fading aurora]

ive never used it before lol

[frozen wind]

how excatly does rook overdrive work?

Do I have to put the machine near adds and forget about it

or do I ahve to manually detonate the turret for it to do damage using rook overdrive?

[twilit arch]

toss it and forget

it will automatically detonate at the end of its timer

[fading aurora]

is there a way to dress a character on eorzeacollection to see how it looks? i want to switch race but want to see how my items would look

[twilit arch]

only reason to manually detonate is if fights about to end before it will, or the boss is going invul

[frozen wind]

should I deploy it near the enemies?

or does the cannon not matter where I place it for detonation

[twilit arch]

doesn't matter where you deploy it

[frozen wind]

So I can set it anywhere i want and the rook overdrive explosion will hit all enemies?

[twilit arch]

basically its range is the same as yours, and it'll do its dmg appropriately

no way to view it on eorzeacollect, but can use https://ffxiv.dlunch.net/model?language=2 to see how gear would look on other races

[frozen wind]

Rook overdrive is a ST skill right?

in that it does no aoe

[twilit arch]

though keep in mind the modelviewer is kind of...eh

yes its single target

[fading aurora]

does anyone know if u can dress your character with another race to see how it would look before u use a fantasia

is there like a mirror in game or soemthing

[twilit arch]

you can use retainers

[fading aurora]

can i fire one and remake it?

[twilit arch]

don't need to fire it

just use a retainer fantasia

[fading aurora]

where do i get 1

[twilit arch]

quick ventures or buy form marketboard

they're usually fairly cheap

[quaint sky]

Do you have to clear 1-8s to unlock 9s?

[leaden ginkgo]

does Sam have any positional?

[fading aurora]

yes

[twilit arch]

yes sam has positionals

[twilit arch]

no, you just need to clear normal mode

[fading aurora]

i think all melee do

[quaint sky]

oh fantastic

[twilit arch]

yes they do

[fading aurora]

@twilit arch u can equip gear on retainers?

[twilit arch]

yes, assuming you've done the quest an 'ill conceived venture' and given them a class

do keep in mind, that they need to be the appropriate class/job if you intend to give job specific gear

[fading aurora]

can i give them lvl 80 gear right away? lol i just wana see how my glam would look on a miqote

[twilit arch]

no, you'd have to lvl them up first since lvl requirements on gear apply to them

[fading aurora]

thats too much work i thought i could preview it on them somehow

T.T

[jade sonnet]

will getting the pteranodon leave anytime soon? or are we still able to work for it till next year?

[twilit arch]

still going to be able to work on it

restoration isn't going anywhere

[jade sonnet]

so it's never going to leave?

[twilit arch]

no reason to believe it is

[void venture]

i play on steam but can i go mogstation and buy extra 30days sub there?

[ripe hound]

Thanks for the tip!

[fading aurora]

if i make another character will my glamour wardrobe be unlocked on the alt ?

[twilit arch]

no

[unique jolt]

Should i buy augmented ironworks items with poetics my ilvl is 110 rn

[fading aurora]

damn why did they make viewing gear on another race so hard

[twilit arch]

yes, there's no reason to hold onto poetics. they're basically given out like candy

[remote lintel]

@void venture all platforms buy sub on mogstation

[twilit arch]

prioritize the weapon first though, can buy it from aelina

[unique jolt]

i found an npc that sells all of them on the middle of limsa Rowena

[jovial tide]

When will coins be obsolete for augmenting cryptlurker?

[twilit arch]

[jovial tide]

Oh, still a long way off then

[twilit arch]

mhm

[leaden ginkgo]

[twilit arch]

[leaden ginkgo]

[jovial tide]

Is there a 'proper' way to use essence of the irregular?

[fading aurora]

i need a miqote that has been playing for years that has all the gear to show me how it would look like lol

i wana know so bad

[jovial tide]

As in certain lost actions that help mitigate your own squishiness

[twilit arch]

i mean i do have a miqo'te alt, but unless its something i can try on via the marketboard kind of sol

[fading aurora]

i would try it via marketboard aswell but u can only see one piece at a time 😦

i wana see the whole glamour set i made

[twilit arch]

no you can try on multiple pieces at a time

[jovial tide]

You can use save/delete outfit

[leaden ginkgo]

does that mean they just recive the ticket and didn't respone right ?

[fading aurora]

yes but problem is, only like 2 items are on market, yohras hood etc arent on there

so if i make an alt its usless

either way

[twilit arch]

you could also just shout in a major city like limsa

for people to link it

[manic rune]

what outfit do you want to preview and what race

[twilit arch]

ye

[leaden ginkgo]

o thanks

[manic rune]

i'll help you in #glamour-discussion

[leaden ginkgo]

[fading aurora]

where can i get samurai?

[half kraken]

Ul'dah

Near the aetheryte

[jade quartz]

Ul’dah; provided you own the expansion

[twilit arch]

!faq sbjobs

[half kraken]

If you own stormblood

[zinc orbit]

Stormblood Jobs and How to Unlock Them

Stormblood Expansion Jobs: Red Mage (Caster DPS) and Samurai (Melee DPS). These jobs start at level 50 and require ownership of the Stormblood Expansion and a disciple of war or magic job at level 50.

Job Unlock Locations:
Red Mage - Distraught Lass at Ul'dah - Steps of Thal (14,12), quest name is "Taking the Red".
Samurai - Ul'dahn Citizen at Ul'dah - Steps of Nald (9,9), quest name is "The Way of the Samurai".

[void venture]

uldah fck me im new to the map

hold on

[half kraken]

Desert city

Lalafell plague

[jade quartz]

As a level 50 you should have been there hundreds of times

[void venture]

okay found it

[jade quartz]

You don’t need to use the map, just open the teleport list

T by default on keyboard

[mental oracle]

What's the name of the BLU spell that increase damage in solo?

[faint flare]

Basic Instinct

[mental oracle]

Ty

[sleek spoke]

should i do leves whenever i can?

[faint flare]

They're not that good for combat jobs

Much bettee for crafters and gatherings

[vernal urchin]

if you desperately need a bit of xp and you dont want to run a dungeon, doing a couple leves is ok

but the msq should give you enough xp to not need to do them on your main job

[sleek spoke]

ok ty

is there a max number of crafting and gathering jobs one can have

whats best for arcanist?

[faint flare]

All of them

[vernal urchin]

nah, you can have all of them

[faint flare]

And you need/want them all

[vernal urchin]

and all crafters generally need materials made by other crafters

the main one for arcanist would be alchemist, but you'd also probably need materials from carpenter and goldsmith and others

[sleek spoke]

ok

[jade quartz]

That’s just for the books though.

For the gear, you’d also need basically all the others.
