Not really

edgy sail
#

Well I'm a big Xenoblade fan and early levels felt similar to me

versed bison
#

I see because I thought it was similar like you auto attack and then you command the player to perform special moves that are positional at times

edgy sail
#

But after around level 50 the combat system blows way past

#

In terms of how active it is etc

modest igloo
#

There are similarities I agree

analog gate
#

e1n will be quicker if you kill it before add phase, 1 tank 1 healer 6 dps
it doesn't have ilvl sync and you have your full kit

spiral inlet
#

what is the BLM really supposed to be for

#

Blue mage*

#

LOl

open coral
#

BLU?

#

It's just for fun.

spiral inlet
#

ohhh

faint flare
#

Side content, best farmer job

spiral inlet
#

thats how you shorten it

#

KEK

open coral
#

It's also good for soloing farm content, yeah.

faint flare
#

It destroys dungeons and fates

#

For events

#

It has the best burst in the entire game

modest igloo
#

I use BLU a lot

open coral
#

A fully kitted BLU at 70 with the right stance will steamroll anything.

spiral inlet
#

you can't do duties with it right

faint flare
#

You can

#

You need premade for it

open coral
#

You can, but only in premade groups

faint flare
#

Blue mage nidhogg ex is one of the fastest ways for moogle tomes

#

Cause it blows him up

open coral
#

About half of BLU's spells come from duties.

spiral inlet
#

LOL

#

its capped at 70 atm?

open coral
#

Yes

modest igloo
#

Nightbloom is a 400 pot attack plus a 75 dot for 60 secs

faint flare
#

8 blues doing fully buffed moon flute openers rip at least 20% hp off a raid boss within 15s

spiral inlet
#

wow

faint flare
#

Their burst is unparalleled

open coral
#

BLU is ridiculously OP. That's why they're "limited"

spiral inlet
#

so they can actually use

#

'boss skills right?

faint flare
#

And they can do every roll

#

Yes

open coral
#

Yep

faint flare
#

Nightbloom from tsukoyomi

open coral
#

Some of their best abilities are from bosses.

faint flare
#

J kick from brute justice

#

Eruption from ifirit

#

Etc

#

All their primal spells are off global abilities

pallid bluff
#

is there a chart for the recommended color of rings/bracelets/etc for each type of class

open coral
#

color?

#

Just get the tomestone accessories appropriate for the class.

#

However if you're looking for endgame BiS gear lists

#

!faq balance

zinc orbitBOT
leaden ginkgo
#

its normal that my dungeon wait timer is 13 minutes right?

pallid bluff
#

yes

open coral
#

Are you dps?

crystal bluff
#

if youre a dps, yeah'

faint flare
#

For DPS yes

leaden ginkgo
#

yeah I am

open coral
#

Then yeah

#

10+ minutes is completely normal.

leaden ginkgo
#

im forced to do a dungeon through the msq

open coral
#

You'll be forced to do many dungeons and other instances.

leaden ginkgo
#

guess I'll be chilling for a while lol

faint flare
#

There's alot of them

open coral
#

The "average" wait time listed isn't necessarily how long you'll be waiting though.

#

Sometimes it will be quicker, sometimes longer.

little swift
#

On eu servers make sure you language settings are set to all languages too

#

⚙️ on the top left

open coral
#

Oh yeah, 100% make sure your Duty Finder language settings have all four languages selected.

weary burrow
#

Is crafting gear worth it/on par with endgame raid loot or what also what should I do if crafting is viable every goldsmith, alchemy ECT. or does it depend on what gear I'm trying to get for a specific class please try to answer this to me directly I'd rather here it from a player than a website those are kinda confusing

open coral
#

That will speed things up significantly.

faint flare
short jasper
faint flare
#

Highest crafted gear is 510 which gets you into all current content

empty kestrel
#

Still trying to buy this plot. Lol.

short jasper
#

Crafted gear competes with normal 8man stuff, but it's not capped behind weekly tokens, and it can be overmelded, which gives it advantages.

open coral
empty kestrel
#

I knew what I was getting into

open coral
#

Yeah, tell us that again when you're still trying to get the plot tomorrow.

empty kestrel
#

But this invisible timer system Is actually so backwards it’s ridiculous lol

twilit arch
#

actually don't because this channel isn't for it

open coral
#

Mmm, true.

#

Or #rants if it gets bad enough

faint flare
#

Nah rants for when someone takes it via relocation

shut panther
#

are there any pets with the behaviour stationary besides the campfire?

faint flare
#

:)

twilit arch
#

the pillow thing

weary burrow
#

So could I be fine using crafted gear forever (very endgame) or is there better gear and if there is is it a noticable difference or slight difference

open grove
#

hey guys any tips on getting blacksmith from 20-80

#

its my first crafter

zinc pine
#

Hey, free trial here. Just wasted 4 hours on crafting, and it seems that I am out of armoury, can't change jobs. I know about retainers, but I can't access them. Should I throw away some of the gear? Sell it? Keep it in my actual inventory? There are so many jobs, and I am not sure if I need any of that.... (Weaver job)

twilit arch
#

@shut panther Plush Cushion is the actual name of it

shut panther
#

cheers

open coral
#

The low level crafted gear isn't worth much.

faint flare
modest igloo
#

Higher than 510 gear affects savage the most, but having high numbers is always fun

zinc pine
weary burrow
#

Ooh ok thanks

open coral
#

You'll also easily be able to farm gear with a higher level job for a lower level one in dungeons and stuff.

#

So crafted isn't really worth keeping at low levels.

zinc pine
#

Alright, thank you.

open coral
#

As mentioned above, you can use max-level crafted gear to go straight into endgame content at max level, but you're a long way from that.

clear shoal
#

A friend of mine is going to be playing this game, but i've been told our server is full (Hyperion), is there any way to get friends on a server with you, or do we have to wait until it's open again?

zinc pine
#

My hoarding instinct kicked in 😄 I was thinking in terms of collections.

clear shoal
#

Like, some kind of invite system for people already on a server to invite others maybe? Not sure if this game has that

viscid fossil
open coral
hearty mango
open coral
#

But if they want to make a character on the same server, then yes. They'll need to wait.

clear shoal
#

Can you still trade with people on other servers?

open coral
#

!status Hyperion

zinc orbitBOT
#
Information

Hyperion is currently Online
This server is currently: Standard
Creation of New Characters Available

open coral
#

Also, it appears that Hyperion is not full, and character creation is available, so I'm not sure why your friend would be having a problem.

spiral inlet
#

is it easier to level BLU as a group rather than solo?

open coral
#

Yes and no.

#

The easiest way to level BLU is to take a level 80 friend, not in a party, out to Kholusia (one of the ShB zones), then you tag enemies and your friend kills them.

onyx kiln
#

does the Optical hat boosts the chances of you getting gold chests from the bunnies in Eureka? saw some comment on a site saying it and the very first chest i find after getting the hat was a gold on. Something i don't think i have ever gotten

open coral
#

However failing that, the best way to level BLU is to party up with other BLU, and then murder things in progressively higher level zones (FATEs are good for this) until you can go out to The Lochs and get your last 7-10 levels from FATEs there.

mild ermine
#

Whats a good way to farm the vexatious memories?

crystal bluff
#

do any roulettes have a good exp/time ratio other than levelling and MSQ? or should i just dungeon spam

mild ermine
#

I've already got 18 of the haunting memories, I did that through void ark, and fates.

#

Is there any optimal, or best way to go about getting the vexatious memories? Like a specific alliance raid, or area of fates, or both?

crystal bluff
#

first SB alliance raid, and fates

strange coral
little swift
crystal bluff
#

thanks

mild ermine
#

Do I just pick any of those areas, or do I do all three?

#

Or should I be rotating maps?

little swift
#

Azim steppe is the recommended one

thin finch
#

Quick question about palace of the dead, i took a break after clearing floor 40 but when I try to click the entry point again it just wants me to go in alone this time. Do I have to exit and re-queue from the beginning?

mild ermine
#

Gotcha. sp Queue up Royal City, and do Azim Steppe fates?

mental oracle
#

Is there only ornate exarchic chest pieces?

leaden ginkgo
#

If the MSQ wants me to go to another region, is it normal I have to pay the flying fee?

modest igloo

tulip moss

twilit arch

modest igloo
twilit arch
thin finch
#

do i need to re-queue for PotD if I stop halfway through?

modest igloo
#

for a matched party yes

twilit arch
thin finch
#

I did matched party in the beginning but going from each set of floors my party wasn't the same

#

Is that normal

modest igloo
#

correct

thin finch
#

weird. Then why's it matter if I don't immediately start the next set of 10

twilit arch
#

matched means you're basically being thrown in with randoms

boreal storm
#

Fixed party is with 4 people in party finder

thin finch
#

Right. It's just odd cause I stepped away for like 5 minutes between 40 and 41 but now it wants me to go in alone

#

why can't it just put me with another crew of people going from 40 to 41

oblique yew
#

is there a way to see how an online store costume set would look on my char?

random girder
#

i think you can link items in chat and then try them on

leaden ginkgo
#

Whats the difference between a legacy world and a normal world?

faint flare
#

No

random girder
#

legacy are servers that were around in 1.0, doesnt mean anything really now

@thin finch you must have not clicked just matched group and now you are soloing PotD

your hotbar changes for the first fete

wild sluice
#

If I have a PC account with Shadowbringers can I buy the start edition on PS5 and still play on console?

mental oracle
#

oh

twilit arch

wild sluice
twilit arch
#

yeah

scarlet hinge
#

Am I able to wear some of the blm head pieces as viera?

wild sluice
#

Okay sweet thank y ou

twilit arch

Can buy endwalker later to get up to speed on ps5

wild sluice
#

leaden ginkgo
#

to where does the free trial take me?

strange coral
#

There's also new game plus to replay that stuff

leaden ginkgo
#

I will definitely sub when I have to, but I wonder until when can I play?

boreal storm
#

Heavensward lvl 60

strange coral
leaden ginkgo
#

I've noticed some things are disabled

#

like whispers etc

#

what else is disabled?

strange coral
#

Retainers, market board, party finder (not duty finder), FCs, party creation (but can be invited)

leaden ginkgo

@leaden ginkgo read that and you'll be better than 50% of the playerbase

glacial robin
#

Does red mage damage fall off?

leaden ginkgo
#

all right.

modest igloo
leaden ginkgo
#

I definitely want warrior to be one of my maxed out classes

#

love frontlining

#

and the large axes look great.

glacial robin
#

But other classes have big numbers or big support so others do big numbers

fleet moth
#

do we know what ilvl the final relic weapon will be?

glacial robin
#

Red mage has a raise for support

modest igloo
#

BiS

fleet moth
#

cool, thanks

modest igloo
#

all classes do good damage

leaden ginkgo
#

btw I've been hesitant in using my gil, if I can teleport to a quest, should I do it?

lavish bison
#

I started playing this game 3 days ago and started going ham with the fishing skill. Is it insanely hard to get the titanic sawfish? I've tried for so long now but I never get it

faint flare
lavish bison

Not sure if I do it correctly

thick grotto

@leaden ginkgo you will get plenty of gilt! Use it to travel.

scarlet arrow
leaden ginkgo
#

okay

#

I've been walking everywhere lol

austere hatch
#

What do I do with duplicate Triple Triad cards? Didn't see anything about them in tutorials or guides that the game gave me

leaden ginkgo
#

I've seen mounts as well, when do those come into play

glacial robin
#

Well doh classes are gil sinks too

gritty oracle
#

Where do I change text language from English to Japanese?

thick grotto

You use gil on gear and houses, but that's pretty much it

Mounts FAQ

'When can I get my first mount?'

The quest that allows you to use mounts, 'My Little Chocobo' is unlocked by completing the level 20 main story quest 'The Company You Keep'. The quest is located at the Grand Company base you chose and you'll need to buy the Chocobo Issuance from your Grand Company Quartermaster. You can get the 200 needed Grand Company seals by doing the main story quest that comes after 'The Company You Keep'.

'Are there any differences between mounts?'

Besides looks, all mounts are the same speed along with being able to fly. Some mounts allow multiple people to ride at once.

'Can I make my mount faster?'

Zones have one or two ranks of mount speed that increase the ground speed of mounts. The first rank comes from completing specific quests in the main scenario quests, with the second rank coming from Riding Maps which are bought with either Allied Seals, Centurio Seals, or Bicolor Gemstones. Mount Speed Boosts do not increase the flying speed of mounts.

austere hatch
#

Oh, Are they just at the counter?

gritty oracle
#

yep

leaden ginkgo
#

sorry for asking faq

#

modest igloo
thick grotto

grizzled wasp

#

kugane?

#

where is that?

twilit arch
#

they're not going to be able to buy scaevan

#

they're at the end of heavensward

open ember
#

You can't buy Scaevan until you finish Stormblood

thick grotto
#

@grizzled wasp ahhhhhh you haven't beat SB sorry

twilit arch
#

there's a button at the top of the quest journal that says "completed"

#

click on that and there is a section for class/job quests

grizzled wasp
#

heck

#

i got 2000/2000 toombstones

twilit arch
#

you can also buy shire gear in idyllshire

lavish bison
twilit arch
#

to boost your ilvl

modest igloo
#

@grizzled wasp there is 270 gear also available in ishgard near the aytherite

grizzled wasp
#

yeah i did the level 60 quest

thick grotto
#

@grizzled wasp damn if you beat SB then you can buy the best lvl 70 gear with tomes.

twilit arch
#

then you should have a coffer in your inventory

grizzled wasp
#

hmmm

twilit arch
#

actually what job are you

open ember
#

If you're lv60, you should be using shire gear anyway

grizzled wasp
#

ahhh pog i got it

#

i found it

#

i am 168 now

#

and i am white mage

strange coral
scarlet arrow
#

but if you're capped on poetics tomestones go to the vendor by the Ishgard aetheryte and buy the i270 Shire weapon

twilit arch
#

They need to buy it in idyllshire

#

they're on the last quest for heavensward so the sundry vendor isn't available to them yet

grizzled wasp
#

can i do that already?

twilit arch
#

yes

scarlet arrow
#

ah ok

grizzled wasp
#

is it worth it to spend my tomes on that?

twilit arch
#

yes

grizzled wasp
#

i mean i'm capped anyway i guess

open ember
#

Absolutely

grizzled wasp
#

ok so idyllshire it is

open ember
#

You should be spending your poetics on tome gear no matter what

#

It has the best stats for that expansion

leaden ginkgo
#

i just did the odin fate it was fire, is there a way to tell when major boss fates will spawn? i really wanna do bobemeth

lavish bison
grizzled wasp
#

i see, that's good to know

#

and after the idyllshire gear the next best i can get is with level 70 then?

open ember
#

Scaevan

#

When you completely finish base Stormblood then you can buy it

strange coral
lavish bison
grizzled wasp
#

okay cool, thanks for all the information, that was very helpful, i appreciate it!!

scarlet arrow
#

Shire gear will last you for the rest of HW content and about halfway through Stormblood content

and i just got dcd:(

#

How many times do I have to run ||Copied Factory|| to get ||"salvage"|| from it?

faint flare
#

0

#

You do the solo version

thick grotto
#

My quests says I need to get to bits of ||salvage|| from ||copied factory||. I should just do it solo?

modest igloo
#

theres a solo entrance

#

in the mines

pine onyx
#

assuming a 4 men party, it's better for 2 dancers to dance with each other right?

#

rather than healer or tank

modest igloo
#

ye

strange coral
pine onyx
#

I assume it's better to not stack their dances?

modest igloo
#

try not to

pine onyx
#

the technical one anyway

#

the other is longer than cd

faint flare
#

One dancer should delay technical and devilment

#

As they don't stack

thick grotto
faint flare
#

It's the solo version

#

The place you explore

modest igloo
#

you do not que for it

strange coral
#

It's not running the raid. There's a version of it without enemies that you can explore

#

The quests have you do it after you run the raid the first time

#

And you can return there

boreal storm
#

You went to it earlier

twilit arch
#

you don't have to spoiler tag the name by the by

thick grotto
pine onyx
#

Does any dancer buff stack btw?

#

someone told me standard did

open ember
#

Copied Factory isn't really a spoiler

faint flare
#

Standard step does

strange coral
#

Well at least you've got some coins stocked up I guess

agile laurel
#

standard does

#

nothing else does

faint flare
#

Cause the giving and receiving buff is different

thick grotto
faint flare
#

So it stacks

agile laurel
#

standard stacks so as to not invalidate 2 dnc's in a dungeon

pine onyx
twilit arch
pine onyx
#

but yeah I get you

agile laurel
#

same as, uh, any other job with raid buffs

pine onyx
#

I said that in relation to invalidate each other

#

Two dancers can spread their devilment on a longer duration

modest igloo
#

by spreading it out it drifts

#

so thats an issue in harder content

wispy basalt
#

how can i hide other minion names

pine onyx
#

drifts?

faint flare
#

In harder content you're not running dup jobs

twilit arch
#

character config > display names. iirc its in npcs section @wispy basalt

young vector
#

how many times can i get drops from the second nier raid weekly?

faint flare
#

Unlimited

#

Only tower is weekly locked for gear

young vector
#

I see, 1 per week right?

faint flare
#

In Tower, for gear, yes

strange coral
#

Gear, coin, and clusters

young vector
#

thanks bruh

thick grotto
#

I have a question. As RDM how do healers feel about me using swift-res? There have been a lot of deaths in higher level dungeons lately (therefore I find myself swift/dualcast res often). What is the appropriate flow for RDM and healers in higher dungeons?

faint flare
#

Red mage is the worst job for raising

thick grotto
#

what!?!

faint flare
#

But they're the best at chain raising

thick grotto
#

it works so well for res

modest igloo
#

RDM's are DPS

faint flare
#

Red mages lose so much for having to raise

thick grotto
#

I only swift/dual raise

#

and MP never seems to be a problem

faint flare
#

You lose the mana, the potency. The proc chance and white/black mana

#

Everytime you raise someone

boreal storm
#

That’s still a swift you could’ve used to hit enemies

modest igloo
#

if both healers are down then yes its good to raise

faint flare
#

Red mage loses the most dps for having to raise

modest igloo
#

otherwise DPS should be the focus

faint flare
#

If healers are capable of raising, let them do it

#

Your swifts/dual is far better used in Thunder/aero

modest igloo
#

PLD has the same thing with clemency

faint flare
#

It's so much more dps

thick grotto
#

it doesn't seem to slow me down much (when resing).... I also used to be a healer, so it's hard to let it go 😄

Which is again, why I find it funny that red mage is called the Res mage..
When they lose the most for having to raise

#

Red mage gcds are very valuable to them

thick grotto
#

I mean, yes I miss an attack or two, but isn't getting the other DPS more of a damage increase?

#

DPS up*

faint flare
#

If other people are capable of raising, like the healers

#

They do it

#

You're the last resort

modest igloo
#

You are not a healer

thick grotto
#

yes yes, healers first, then ME! 🙂

raw solstice
#

well, in a prog sense you're not the last resort

thick grotto
#

I know I'm not a healer, but I want to be!

faint flare
#

Well yeah prog is different

raw solstice
#

the situation is a bit important

thick grotto
#

and do dps damage

vernal urchin
#

unless your healers in a general duty are green dps and won't stop casting glare/broil, then leave it to them lol

#

though even then they might be waiting for swift

heavy wadi
#

If you want to be a healer, then heal, your priority is to do damage.

thick grotto
faint flare
#

They're waiting for swift

heavy wadi
#

Or they have low mp and can't cast it yet. Or they know it's not a good time to rez... etc.

thick grotto
#

okay, what if I know they are waiting for swift (because I just saw them use it), then can I res?

#

ahh I forgot about looking at their MP

faint flare
#

Does the person need to be up NOW?

#

For mechanics?

#

Then get them up

thick grotto
agile laurel
#

attitude should be 'oh yeah, i have a raise'

#

not 'my greatest tool, o verraise'

faint flare
#

You focus keeping yourself and the group alive before raising

#

And doing the oncoming mechanics

heavy wadi
#

If that means keeping someone on the floor for a bit, then fine

thick grotto
modest igloo
#

You’ll get there

raw solstice
#

if it's a dps on the floor and they'll be on the floor for a while if healers are unable to, you still get them up though

modest igloo
#

Play other DPS that might help

raw solstice
#

it's not a black and white thing, but yeah. You have a good tool, but it's not a priority. You do it when it's important to, not just when you can

I've played DRG, SAM and SMN, but took a break and leveled all healers to 80. Now I'm stuck in healer mode. I thought RDM would be a good step down, but now I think I am doing myself a disservice.

Anyone know what race has the most hairstyles? I heard some are locked depending on what race your char is

twilit arch
#

each race has its own set of racial hairstyles, usually the first two rows or so are it, though for some 3rd/4th rows are also racial hairstyles

#

the ones that can be unlocked are not race based

#

!faq hairstyles

zinc orbitBOT
twilit arch
#

for the unlockable ones, there are a few that are gender locked tho

stuck bay

Oh the ones you can unlock in-game aren't locked in race? Ok thats the answer I'm looking for. I was Viera for a while but was planning on changing

twilit arch
#

the thing with viera/hrothgar tho

misty wagon
#

no hat

twilit arch
#

is they currently can't use any of the unlockable hairstyles

And does they update fast the site with servers : if you can create or not a character on it ? To see when i can try to connect

stuck bay
#

Yeah no hat/hairstyles is kinda why I wanna change lol

proven lynx
#

What does it mean to do maps

twilit arch
#

so i guess..its not entirely correct to say its not based on race, but viera/hrothgar are kind of exceptions tot his

pseudo pulsar
#

Ok thanks, so i'll just check ^^ 75% are red atm ahah, i'll have to wait some hours i think

misty wagon
# proven lynx What does it mean to do maps

There are in the game actual treasure maps that can be obtained usually from gathering. This lead to resource challenges that give rewards. Some even have mini dungeons that give rewards based on your completion and success.
Nodes of higher levels give higher level maps.

will tomestone gear always be better than other gear?

misty wagon
strange coral
true verge
#

wat gear should i try to get at lvl 80?

faint flare
#

Outside of Savage raids, you'll be using cap tome gear and 24man gear as you slowly get augments for tome gear

#

And a relic weapon

misty wagon
#

At endgame there really is a scale up. But eventually you should aim for ilvl cap which I believe is currently 520 or 525. Someone else may need to check that.

faint flare
#

530

#

Is the cap

misty wagon
#

ooooh 530.

faint flare
#

With 535 weapons

misty wagon
#

right yeah. And the wep is- ye.

true verge
#

dam tome stuff is mad confusing cuz they have extra stuff to that u need besides the tomes and im just like wat is this

#

wat tome gear should i be getting

#

idek wat a relic weapon is

faint flare
#

Revelation is the highest

#

But the tomes are weekly capped

true verge
#

okay so go for revelation

pine onyx
#

Augmented exarchic hq = non improved cryptlurker right?

faint flare
#

You supplement it with weekly gear from Tower

faint flare
thick grotto
#

It's probably easiest if you buy the Exarch gear and then upgrade to Augmented Exarch (520ilvl) using tomes of allegory (because there is no cap)

pine onyx
#

And you need coins from savage raids to improve cryptlurker?

faint flare
#

Savage drops the items straight up

thick grotto
#

Exarch gear from MB if you have about 2 mil gil

faint flare
#

Nier raids drop the coins to buy the upgrades or hunt currency

pine onyx
#

Gotcha

modest igloo

I bought my set for 800k

So play the MB

Where do you spend nier coins?

Multiple steps for different jobs

#

But they have to be different steps

finite trout
#

I see, thanks 🙂

pine onyx
misty wagon
#

Otherwise you turn in for one and gotta restart for the other. You can avoid this by farming up all the items you need before you turn it in so you can just turn it in on another job when you get to that step.

#

Next to the tome guy

pine onyx

thanks

#

It seems actually pretty cheap to improve cryptlurker

#

getting them in the first place is the most time consuming part

faint flare
#

Because it's after the major odd patch

thick grotto
modest igloo
#

530 has been out for 6 months

faint flare

Major odd patches are catch up for non raiders

So it’s easier now

Before 5.5 hit, you could only get the augments via savage

For doing MSQ dungeons and raids easily, is it better to play as a tank/healer for your 1st job or queue time is correct for dps ?

modest igloo

oh my god

the generic music for housing district is the same

thick grotto

no i was verifying that the housing ward music is referencing different motifs from the citystate's music

#

but uh, i guess that's something only i find interesting

misty wagon
#

Ye it does do that. It's a blend at different sections.

pseudo pulsar
#

Ok thanks, i will maybe up tank +/- dps then. Is it possible to do MSQ as dps for example, and dungeons as tanks ? Or you'll be under level ?

twilit arch
#

probably wanna run a couple of extra dungeons on the tank assuming you're not on a preferred server

glossy flare
#

If you are on a preferred server leveling 2 jobs via msq is definitely possible

twilit arch
#

but yeah you could do it

glossy flare
#

if not you may need to run some extra roulettes

You save gearsets to different classes

So you keep tabs on what you’re using

Retainer Guide

What is a retainer?
A retainer is a private NPC that will act as a personal bank for the player, holding up to 175 different items, that can be summoned to any of the Summoning Bells around the world. Retainers also act as your means to sell on the Market Board.

How to unlock a retainer
First, you must complete the quest The Scions of the Seventh Dawn then go to speak to any of the Retainer Vocates located in the market district of any of the major cities.

What are Retainer Ventures?
Ventures are the means to send out your retainers on missions to bring back items for you and can be unlocked by completing the quest 'An Ill-conceived Venture' (Ul’Dahn), (Gridania), (Limsa Lominsa)

I have no idea what Braindead Sunders mean because I've only saw one way to handle Sunders lol

faint flare
#

Braindead Sundered Sky is stacking on 1 spot after tethers resolve to bait aoes then go to wall and anti knockback

last escarp
#

Was there any class changes talked about at the fan fest?

faint flare
#

No

#

Way to far away for that

last escarp
#

I keep seeing people talk like some class changes were announced. Someone said one of the sects for ast was going away and such

faint flare
#

They told us that ast would be reworked when sage was revealed

#

No specific details

#

Outside it being a pure healer like white mage

ripe hound
#

It's unknown if AST's card system will be reworked again right?

#

It's probably unlikely I think

faint flare
#

No

ripe hound
#

Yeah, since the current card system don't really feels bad

obsidian patio
#

One of the few things we know is Summoner getting a rework since they basically hit a design limit with their rotation

ripe hound
#

Intreasting

faint flare
#

But that came from an interview

ripe hound
#

I do hope in the future they differentiate less between Regen Healers and Shield Healers

agile laurel
#

they'll differentiate more

#

they said as much

ripe hound
#

I see

agile laurel
#

they mean to nuke noct. ast and make a logical difference between ast+whm and sch+sge

ripe hound
#

I just feel like making AST+WHM and SCH+SGE combos nonviable would be a bad idea

faint flare
#

They'll be viable just ALOOOOOT harder

#

Probably

ripe hound
#

Yeah, so I wish Shield Healer's shields stack

faint flare
#

Cause you know, Shields in e12s are kinda a thing

ripe hound
#

Is there any significant problem if shields stack?

faint flare
#

Yes

obsidian patio
#

Shields stacking too high can invalidate mechanics

faint flare
#

Cause you then just ignore mechanics

#

Forever

ripe hound
#

I mean we do have Twice / Trice come ruin now lol

faint flare
#

It would be E10s dog uptime for EVERY MECHANIC

tribal anvil
#

Odd question but is there any way I can change my Square Enix ID?

crystal bluff
ripe hound
#

But the new ruin mechanic do feel like it invalidates healers a bit...

faint flare
#

If you take 0 damage you get no debuffs

agile laurel
crystal bluff
#

oh
neat

faint flare
#

It's why dog uptime works

ripe hound
#

I mean they can just change it, give ruin stacks if you do mechanics incorrectly

faint flare
#

If you take 0 damage from attacks, most additional effects will not apply

agile laurel
#

Umbral orbs applies damage down by checking if you took too much damage, thus weren't stacked in 3s. So, you can invalidate that entirely by just standing on the boss and kitchen sinking it

ripe hound
#

But yeah... doing this do feel like it might even futhur invalidates Shield Healers...

agile laurel
#

Cleaves do no damage

last escarp
#

I think a work around could be having shields cap at a certain percentage of max health say, 15%, so say healer 1 with better gear can generate 10% and healer 2 could generate 5%

ripe hound
#

Yeah I think that's also viable?

faint flare
#

That would destroy scholar with crit los

ripe hound
#

Oh lol

#

Welp, at least when out of the 6 combinations of 4 healers, 4 combinations are viable is fine I guess

faint flare
#

Oh.and tank party Shields like veil and shake

ripe hound
#

Maybe 5 if AST+WHM is viable

last escarp
#

I was just using that as an example. They could also always add in that crit heals wouldn't add additional shielding. Just to make balancing double shield healers a little bit easier

agile laurel
#

crit heals wouldn't add additional shielding
thus murdering one of scholar's main gimmicks and rendering adloquium near useless

faint flare
#

Shields are fine atm

#

what are some of the worst things about final fantasy?

#

what would make people pick other mmo's over this one?

wintry chasm
#

While I personally enjoy this element I think what might be the most divisive is just how long the story is that you have to do to hit endgame raiding

#

some people just really don't care for plots

leaden ginkgo
#

I'd see the story is for most mmo players a big part of the game, so I think that's still somewhat positive

#

I know the devs have a good rep

#

my friend is debating if he should play another mmo like blade and soul instead, the monthly sub scares him off

wintry chasm
#

Did you tell him half the game is part of the free trial?

leaden ginkgo
#

He said something about the endgame combat being lackluster, is that true in any capacity?

#

I did yeah, he knows about that

faint flare
#

You get 4 fights for 6 months

heavy wadi
#

the only thing really lackluster about endgame content is timegating

leaden ginkgo
#

what does that mean?

faint flare
#

All high end raids are weekly locked

#

Once you done your weekly clears, you're basically done for the week

#

That's your content for the week, see you again Tuesday

modest igloo
#

lots of great fights

#

and the ultimates are damn hard but tons of fun if you're into the hardcore of raiding

leaden ginkgo
#

I'm convinced I'll be playing it a while

#

but i'm not sure about him

modest igloo
#

ill admit this game is expensive

#

but the free trial is pretty good at giving you a taste

#

so let him play for free, see if he likes it

vocal venture
#

Roulettes + Beast Tribes, how much would it be? around 2 levels a day or so?, wanna Level AST as passively as i possible can

modest igloo
#

if not? no money wasted

remote lintel
#

the game is the same price as a regular triple A game

modest igloo
#

its the sub that makes it a lot

boreal storm
#

Sub price at the lowest is like 43 cents a day
