fiery trout
#

Ehhh

royal zinc
#

Has anyone ever found a resolution to this?

fiery trout
#

Probably not

fading helm
#

royal zinc
#

It's been a problem for over 6 years now

mossy current
#

They're all equal griz

#

But you might find better luck getting a house in the goblet

fiery trout
#

Y the goblet

mossy current
#

Less people wanna be there

wintry chasm
#

Wasn't that originally intended for ShB?

elder root
#

why don't people like the goblet?

remote lintel
#

its ugly

fiery trout
#

It's cool

elder root
#

oh?

#

think gridania's the ugliest

wintry chasm
#

Yeah it just doesn't have a lot going for it visually tbh. Gridania is great get outta here

remote lintel
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

fiery trout
#

Every place looks cool

leaden ginkgo
#

Not only is the Goblet a sandstone crapshoot its also a fucking maze of stairs and tunnels.

fading helm
#

i like the mist the most

mossy current
#

Regardless, lavender beds and mists are far more visually appealing to a lot of people

remote lintel
#

i like foresty areas so i like lavender beds

fiery trout
#

Don't @ me

leaden ginkgo
remote lintel
#

goblet has grown on me a bit because of the pool in the middle

fading helm
#

i wanna get an apartment

fiery trout
#

I like every part of the game

fading helm
#

remote lintel
#

depends how much you sell it for

fading helm
#

do i pick fat cat or apartment

#

like 400k

remote lintel
#

mossy current
#

Free company rooms are 300k

fading helm
#

There is nothing that I don't like about the game

fading helm
#

mossy current
#

Same size as an apartment

fading helm
#

remote lintel
#

same as an apartment

fading helm
#

remote lintel
#

mossy current
#

Near the back wall of your FC building, you'll see a door, and just follow the menus to buy a room

fading helm
#

wintry chasm
#

Sure

leaden ginkgo
#

just pray to god you don't get booted from that FC.

remote lintel
#

fading helm
#

remote lintel
#

yes

fading helm
#

i might just do that ig

As a mentor, if I try to join the NN but can't, it means it's full right?

rocky hollow
#

spare plinth
#

Treasure maps on the market board?

ripe hound
#

Yeah

raven sage
#

Maps are also gatherable

ripe hound
#

Usually they come randomly when you gather them

#

I just sell them immediately after gathering lol

#

Then buy some if I ever want to join a map farm party

random girder
spare plinth
#

Oh cause I’m curious about the crescent pajama set but one of the materials is from treasure hunt

random girder
#

its fine either way, i personally prefer the original (sounds sharper)

rocky hollow
#

oh nice, are mods safe to use?

random girder
#

stuff thats purely client-side like textures and reshade, yeah pretty much

gloomy mortar
#

Can you do level 50 dungeons unsync solo as a level 80 tank?

random girder
#

#

Rested Experience FAQ

'Why does my EXP bar have some blue or faded yellow in it?'

That's Rested Experience, which is an extra source of bonus experience shared between all of your classes. You gradually earn this while inside a sanctuary (town or area with a major aetheryte), regardless of whether you're online or not. Sanctuaries are also indicated with a crescent moon icon near your experience bar.

'How much of a boost is it?'

The most amount of rested experience you can have at once is one and a half levels of experience. That means that lower level jobs use up the rested experience faster than higher level jobs do.

celest coral
#

Ahhh

random girder
#

anything can do 50 unsynced at 80 but some 60 dungeons are tougher on dps, 70 is basically pld only

#

or rdm, maybe healer

celest coral
#

Hrm. I should probably prep a mug of tea ahead my next primal fight hehe

shut panther
#

Warriors can do quite a bit now with self targeting nascent

mint jungle
#

sry i am newbie here want to play the game, is the game must subcriptionevery month or only one subcription is enough?

celest coral
#

You can pause it whenever you want

#

Lot of folks play the base game + all the expacs, then unsub for a while and resub when new content drops every few months or when the next expac drops

leaden ginkgo
#

man iceheart is such a perfect character

coral ermine
#

You can pay upfront for 6 months

proud willow
#

Once you have bought the game, you can't log in unless you are subscribed

coral ermine
#

your subscription status must always be active in order to log in

celest coral
#

I will say Squeenix has been quite generous in letting you play through A Realm Reborn + Heavenward (1st expac) as part of teh trial

mint jungle
#

so if i subscribed in this month in next month non subscribed i cant log in right?

proud willow
#

Correct

mint jungle
#

okay thank you for anwsering my question hope god bless you all

drifting nymph
#

What's the best approach for outfitting an Airship once you reach rank 50? Do you just go with all rank 50 components or what's the best strat? My FC has a couple rank 50s that have been idle a minute and trying to get back to sending them out.

Also, do you still need a party to do the workshop crafting?

short moon
#

uh, asked in the wrong channel, but:

What lost actions should I be running as nin?

dim bough
#

does anyone know what this symbol means on recent transactions of this item??? I don't believe I've ever seen it before and I can't find it on any other item.

young fjord
#

Does it mean that you already own it in glamour dresser?

dim bough
#

it can't be, I just looked at other items I know I have..

fierce cobalt
dim bough
#

ooooh!

fierce cobalt
#

Avoids tax that way

celest snow
#

irregular tomestones of pageantry, are they rare or should i not worry about spending them? currently only lvl 54 with my pal so extremely new.

dim bough
#

so spend them!

celest snow
#

oh damn

leaden ginkgo
#

Do BLM's use crit materia? or should i go for spell speed?

celest snow
#

not too long then

#

any recommendations on what to spend them on?

dim bough
celest snow
#

i have 88 only currently

dim bough
#

the earrings and that 1 tomestone moogle minion can't be got anywhere else, same with the 100 tomestone ring for glamour, the rest you can still eventually get without the event

#

i'd priortize the hairstyles since they'll probably eventually bounce back up in price once the event is over

#

but earrings and moogle minion first! they're cheap and only from the event!

celest snow
#

i dont see the moogle minion on the list. am i blind?

dim bough
#

Taoist Moogle

celest snow
#

oh there

#

ty!

dim bough
#

if you want to farm tomestones at your level, your best off doing frontline when your server has short pvp times(Normally in the afternoon/evening), or praetorium

#

yw!

celest snow
#

doesn't sound too bad. still haven't tried out pvp yet. can't see any reason not to try! thanks so much for the help!!!

dim bough
#

yw!

#

you may want to get the kamuy mounts too! they can be annoying to farm, and you won't be able to farm them until like stormblood expansion

#

they're basically glowly wolf mounts

stable herald
#

Getting some BLU skills for doing the relic farm. Are there any skills obtainable via solo that can help farm FATEs quickly?

granite reef
#

I just finished ARR's MQ, it seems like poetic is the best source of gear for me right now, but how do I farm those poetic tomestone? do I go to unlock dungeon/roulette or just do MQ roulette?

short jasper
#

First time bonus for dungeons and trials is a huge source too (and you don't even have to be the first timer)

ripe hound
#

But normal raid is unlocked at lv 60

shut panther
#

If you haven't finished msq yet, it is the best source of gear that is relevant to you

analog gate
stable herald
#

Yea... server p quiet atm

granite reef
#

What about doing Astral MSQ? does it give Poetic in the process?

analog gate
#

the quests themselves don't, but the instances do

granite reef
#

Ah, I see, Thanks for the help guys!

fading helm
#

it seems like this game has downtime every other week

analog gate
#

it's not the norm

#

we did just get 5.55

fading helm
#

will we be getting any more like big updates before end walker?>

boreal storm
#

5.57 and 5.58 but they aren’t “big”

shut panther
#

This is basically the longest downtime the game will have, pre expansion patch

#

There will be a few in game events, but no real new content until ew

spiral inlet
#

fading helm
#

#

random girder
#

yeah

boreal storm
shut panther
#

There's generally a short quest line

#

That does some interesting world and character building

#

Usually the rewards are about the same as Easter,a themed gear set or mount and some housing stuff

slender sphinx
#

Did they remove hippogryph skin from ventures?

potent lava
#

is this supposed to not move at all until the sub period runs out or w/e
i remember there used to be a countdown when I bought CE

shut panther
#

It's paid days, not elapsed

raven sage
#

If you have a recurring payment set up it won't list remaining days

jovial quarry
#

Yes

leaden ginkgo
#

😫

celest coral
#

Not sure how else to phrase this. But seeing how it's about 30 minutes before server goes into MT, should I prioritize questing or doing my daily roulette?

random girder
#

probably questing, daily roulette is not really necessary until later imo, but if you dont mind being overleved on msq then do that

celest coral
#

kk

pallid bluff
#

eos vs selene?

random girder
#

theyre the same

#

pick whichever is prettier

leaden ginkgo
#

is i420 matria max ?

random girder
#

materia viii is max yes

pallid bluff
#

okay i'll pick the better bright glowing ball of color

leaden ginkgo
#

after apply a materia can i get it back

#

or it will only remove it

random girder
#

with a crafter yes you can extract materia but it isnt 100% i think

#

im not sure, not a crafter lol

leaden ginkgo
#

its ok

random girder
#

you can retrieve materia from spiritbonded gear

#

which is just free materia

#

and resets spiritbond

leaden ginkgo
#

im still lv 70 with i400 should i bother buying materia

random girder
#

no

#

materia is important at 80

leaden ginkgo
#

well done

rancid viper
#

just started this game a week ago. what is the endgame progression like? is it a gear grind, or is it a once and done after you learn and manage to clear dungeons? playing one class gets boring very quickly, but i dont want to invest into other roles if it takes too much time just to get them started.

random girder
#

i could play drg forever

#

or gnb

ripe hound
#

The recommended way to grab Timeworn Artifacts is just 15 runs of DR right?

random girder
#

yep haha

rancid viper
#

i just started heavensward on the free trial but gnb's one of the classes im gonna try after subbing 👀

leaden ginkgo
#

how to unlock it

jovial quarry
#

Materia grades 6 and lower can be removed safely 100% of the time. Removing grade 7 is I think 70% success rate? Grade 8 is 40% success rate. Failing means the materia breaks. You don't need a crafter leveled to remove materia. You do, however, need to have basic melding unlocked which is at the small goblin camp north of the aetheryte camp in Central Thanalan.

leaden ginkgo
#

i have to talk to master matria to apply one?

jovial quarry
#

If you don't have a crafter to level, then yes, you need a Materia Melder NPC to do it for you.

leaden ginkgo
#

also what matria monk needs

glass oxide
#

There are NPC who can meld materia but overmelding needs 70+ crafter

leaden ginkgo
#

i dont have a lv 70 crafter job

glass oxide
#

You can request from other players too

jovial quarry
#

Which kind you need depends on the gear piece. But for the most part you want Critical Hit or Direct Hit materia. Crit is much more important.

leaden ginkgo
#

all my gear has 2 matria slot

robust notch
#

If you're not level 80, you don't have to worry about materia

leaden ginkgo
#

im not a lv 80 yet

robust notch
#

Then don't bother.

leaden ginkgo
#

doesn't have diffrence ?

#

at low levels

remote lintel

ifrit hard, titan hard, and garuda hard

prisma star

ooh

#

i assume i don't get rewards if i enter that recruitment code after i purchase the subscription

manic rune
#

nope

#

you need to enter the code during the 30 free days

#

after buying the game

#

but before paying your first subscription

prisma star
#

30 free days? like, the ones that come with the game right?

manic rune
#

yeah

prisma star

because i haven't bought extra time just yet

#

alright

What type of hotfixes?

They don't often tell us what is getting fixed until afterwards but it's probably something in the Known Issues list from the previous patch notes.

Retainer level is my job level minus 5?

manic rune
#

no

robust notch
#

Should be up to your level

manic rune
#

you have to level it manually

devout crystal
#

Oh okay.

manic rune
#

and the cap is the same as your current job level

robust notch
#

If your bard is level 65,and your retainer is a bard, it can level up to 65

manic rune
#

you need to send your retainer out on ventures to gain exp

devout crystal
#

So it is wise to hire them when I am 80?

manic rune
#

no, they'll start at lvl 1

robust notch
#

No

#

Just level them as you level

devout crystal
#

Oh I see

robust notch
#

As you level up, their maximum level goes up as well

wintry chasm
#

^ they can't level past you in a particular class

devout crystal
#

I have no gathering or crafting job. Should I just hire 2 retainers with disciple of war?

wintry chasm
#

Retainers can't be crafters but yeah sure

devout crystal
#

Got it. Thx

#

Oh bummer! Server maintenance.

wooden plinth

Yo ppl. Have a few questions as a new player who just started playing:

  • Can i play as a Dark Knight with a trial version of the game?
  • Is there any difference between steam and launcher versions of the game? Like... I've downloaded a non-steam version with the launcher, but im thinking of moving onto the steam and probably buying the game there.
random girder
#

yes, and steam just has to handle everything through steam

#

so you cant take advantage of non-steam sales for example

#

like the one right now

devout crystal
#

Great chance to buy ff14. Big sale now.

random girder
#

60% discount only applies to windows launcher, not steam, i think

#

so if you want to save use windows launcher lol

devout crystal
#

FYI I bought 1 day before this sale. Don't be like me. 😭

wooden plinth
#

Okay. thanks guys.

devout crystal
#

Once you buy steam, you have to stick with steam in the future expansions and etc.

wooden plinth
#

But like... If i'll buy a non-steam version - will i be able to somehow play on steam?

#

Oh okay

random girder
#

no, cant switch to steam if you do non steam

#

steam just launches the launcher so imo an unnecessary middleman

#

but its preference

devout crystal
#

Only benefits steam has over none-steam is payment options I think.

manic rune
#

steam sales are very unpredictable so it's why we generally recommend players to stick to the windows launcher if you're new

wooden plinth
#

So it doesn't really matter what version you'll choose and everyone just plays on one that they bought on sale, right?

#

Okay. got it. thanks.

manic rune
#

yeah, steam's benefit is that you can pay in your own currency if it's not supported by square enix

#

everyone plays together yes

#

ffxiv is cross platform

devout crystal
#

Even ps4,5 users play with PC USERS

manic rune
#

i'm not sure if it'll work if you started on steam free trial and purchase complete edition from the square enix store on sale

#

anyone can confirm?

devout crystal
#

That I am curious to know too.

wooden plinth
# manic rune ffxiv is cross platform

Nah, I meant some sort of an issues people might have if they are playing on "bad" platform and it's way better to stick on the right one from the very beginning. Well, seems like there is none.

manic rune
#

if you own the base game on pc you definitely cannot purchase new expansions on steam, and vice versa

#

the only real draw-back is that steam doesn't put ffxiv on sale often

devout crystal
#

^

manic rune
#

and if you have to move abroad at some point, you may be locked out of your account

#

since your steam region needs to match your square enix account region

devout crystal
#

I was told non-steam version goes on sale a lot more often

random girder
#

it does

manic rune
#

i prefer to only stick to windows version since you still have to do all account management through square enix's website

devout crystal
#

But again with steam you can use steam wallet for payment.

manic rune
#

mogstation

pure zenith
#

the steam version is basically playing the windows version but with extra steps

manic rune
#

yeah, if you already use steam and steam wallet for other games, it may be more convenient for you

pure zenith
#

^ I say the windows is still better than steam simply because you dont have to deal with the 2 accounts for one game

viscid fossil
#

You can always add Steam version if you want (just wasting money) lol.

pure zenith
#

or at least two account management platforms for one game

wooden plinth
#

So now then im thinking about it... As you guys said, i can go and play dark knight even on the trial version of the game. So how exactly does it work? I'll have to complete some sort of a quest when i'll be a proper level and play with a 2h-sword to be a different class?

manic rune
#

drk is locked behind story progression

viscid fossil
#

You can buy Mac, PS, Steam, Windows all 4 platforms if you want. If you have the money lol

manic rune
#

you need to finish the base game and reach the first city in the next expansion

#

the drk unlock quest is lvl 50, but the class starts at lvl 30

wanton skiff
#

Prolly been asked like 100 times already but

#

how long?

viscid fossil
#

3am PDT

manic rune
#

there are no prerequisites for picking up drk except msq progression and your current lvl

manic rune
pure zenith
wanton skiff
#

Ty bby

wooden plinth
manic rune
#

dungeons and your daily roulette

wooden plinth
#

Ok, thank you.

shut panther
#

Fates are terrible exp and basically shouldn't be done without very specific reasons

manic rune
#

your class is tied to your current weapon

#

so you switch classes by switching weapons

#

and your level/stats/everything switches to that class

shut panther
#

Keep in mind that any combat class below your highest' level receives a 100% exp bonus

wooden plinth
#

Yeah, I already know that, but never thought about playing something else besides DRK, rn im a paladin for obvious reasons.

viscid fossil
#

Spam couple of dungeon, eat foods, get FC exp buff, wear the exp ring if you have one.

shut panther
#

Which basically results in doing each dungeon like.. 2-3 times to level

manic rune
#

because drk starts at lvl 30, you'll need to grind a little bit to catch the level up to the story quest level, if you intend to play the msq with it

#

it won't take too long if you're on a preferred server with the road to 70 exp buff

shut panther
#

You can bang out 30-50 in a few hours.

#

Especially on a tank

#

Where dungeons are less a queue and more a "press this button to activate the enter dungeon button"

pure zenith
#

except they have their own levels

shut panther
#

Drk 30-50 is goddamn boring though, I will admit.

#

Hope you like pressing your single AOE button seven million times.

manic rune
#

yeah, early game combat is always a little slow and boring

viscid fossil
#

Also you can't level like WoW, carry low level through high level dungeon for boosting exp. Everything is sync, just take your time.

manic rune
#

that's to be expected

shut panther
#

It's less of a slog on your first class because it's constantly broken up by msq

wooden plinth
shut panther
#

Classes themselves are basically just deprecated content

wooden plinth
#

And I was expecting gladiator to be something like DPS class with a sword in both hands or something.

manic rune
#

the class -> job system is outdated now

shut panther
#

One should only really consider Jobs

manic rune
#

in the early days of the game, they decided that there should be a degree of customisation for classes, so players had to level other classes to pick up cross-class skills for their job

reef stone
#

What does DH and Det stands for?

manic rune
#

the execution wasn't too good though, so they've basically ditched that concept

manic rune
reef stone
cosmic furnace
#

if i re-buy the game on steam can I move my account over still ? I read somewhere that you no longer can ?

pure zenith
manic rune
viscid fossil
#

Healers are the green dps.

pure zenith
#

tanks are just blue dps anyways

#

but with responsibilities and ways to not die

austere igloo
#

Sorry to interrupt but I need some help figuring out how to deal with alliance raids as a new player starting out as a PLD!
Got to up to WoD with more experienced guys MTing all the hard stuff, but aaagh now I'm kinda stuck. Some people are telling me to keep tank stance off and to not just aggro the bosses while other people will tell me to do the opposite. So, uh, what do we do here..

cosmic furnace
#

@manic rune I bought the game direct from Square ..... so I really cant buy it again from steam and load my account?

wooden plinth
#

Btw, the reason i decided to play the game is the video I saw not so long ago where a bunch of people lined up in one of the cities after Kentaro Miura passed away. So they had a glowing weapons, is that some sort of an item quality or?..

remote lintel
#

no

#

item quality has nothing to do with glow

#

specific weapons just glow on their own

manic rune
wooden plinth
#

Oh I see, thanks.

manic rune
#

some glowing weapons are crafted, some are relics that require a long grind, and some are exclusive raid drops

cosmic furnace
#

ok thanks 😦 @manic rune

shut panther
#

Everyone is DPS. some classes just have a side role.

viscid fossil
manic rune
#

if there are 3 sets of mobs on the arena, that usually means you should have stance on and divide mobs among the three tanks

remote lintel
#

or if the alliances are divided

manic rune
#

same goes for if you're on a separate platform with only your party there

manic rune
#

if at the beginning of a fight nobody has stance on, you should take initiative and turn on your stance + provoke

austere igloo
#

thank you so much!!

viscid fossil
manic rune
remote lintel
#

which boss

manic rune
#

tower final boss sends aoe tankbusters on highest enmity per alliance

#

i think it defaults to tank unless the tank is dead? could be wrong

viscid fossil
#

is it?

remote lintel
#

it targets the tank specifically, not highest enmity

#

ive tanked tower and never had my stance on

#

and it always targeted me

#

same with cid in orbonne

manic rune
#

it's good practice to have stance on in case mt dies, anyway

cosmic furnace
#

@manic rune is it possible to move account from PC to Mac ?

austere igloo
#

what should one do if other tanks keep pulling the boss to the wrong spot / force it to face the wrong direction? i mean the answer is to just provoke it to the right position, but like, is fighting over who is MT just something that happens

manic rune
manic rune
remote lintel
#

@austere igloo better to just let the boss be in a weird spot than fight over aggro

stable herald
#

Are the memories for relic not guaranteed drops from the SB FATES?

remote lintel
#

youll give all the melees and even the healers an aneurysm if you keep switching aggro

#

@stable herald no theyr enot

golden knot
#

Is leveling from 71-80 in Zadnor faster than grinding the highest level dungeon?

manic rune
#

if another tank continuously provokes the boss from you, just let them have it bc it inconveniences the rest of the alliance if the boss keeps turning to face new targets

stable herald
remote lintel
#

no idea

#

i think its kinda high tho

stable herald
#

alright. Im just debating if it's worth it since I seem to be dying p fast as BLU

manic rune
#

with a healer chocobo?

stable herald
#

Cant tank many hits and my one trick is freeze and ultra vibe, that or meteor spam

#

Had it on tank stance, but he's squishy

#

I

manic rune
#

i think for fates in the lochs it's better to go with regular dps bc you'll be synced over 70

#

blu doesn't have that luxury

#

especially if you're lacking in primal spells

stable herald
#

Ok.

austere igloo
stable herald
#

im on steppe now

#

so thought i'd clear it now

manic rune
#

tank chocobo is almost never worth it

#

healer is your best bet

stable herald
#

But it's quite hard "doing adequate damage"

#

You cant basic instinct right?

manic rune
#

no

#

basic instinct only works in synced dungeons

stable herald
#

So my only dps is meteor?

austere igloo
#

thank you for the advice everyone!!

stable herald
#

well, my "optimal" dps

manic rune
#

if your only dps skill is meteor then you'd probably do more damage on a regular combat class

cosmic furnace
#

@manic rune is it also possible to change name on the account?

stable herald
#

I spam primal skills

viscid fossil
#

mmhh maybe I might have misunderstood and assumed the tank bust targets highest enmity. I wonder last time I saw it lands on healer because the tank died.

stable herald
#

but I was wondering about solo-ing Enkidu for missle

remote lintel
#

if the tank is dead then it targets the highest enmity

manic rune
stable herald
#

a lotta people tell me to get missle.

manic rune
#

character name can be changed for 10 usd iirc, as for account name you'll need to contact square enix support

cosmic furnace
#

@manic rune not sure....Im thinking to give my wife my account on Mac and I buy again on PC...so maybe both?

manic rune
#

if you want to play together, you need two separate service accounts

cosmic furnace
#

yep

remote lintel
#

mac and windows cant be registered to the same account iirc

manic rune
#

it can

remote lintel
#

oh

manic rune
#

it's only windows and steam that has that restriction

proud willow
#

they can, but you won't be able to log into both characters as the same time

viscid fossil
#

oh

#

That is some dirty Steam. lol

cosmic furnace
#

Ill giuve her my service account...but she will want her name

manic rune
#

why not let her make her own service account?

#

that way nothing needs to be changed

cosmic furnace
#

cause she wont do the leveling and quests lmao

proud willow
#

As far as I know, S-E doesn't like changing who owns an account. It'd be different if you changed your legal name and just needed to update that

remote lintel
viscid fossil
#

If that service account is on mac for your wife. Yourself would need another new service account + PC license.

cosmic furnace
#

Yep..ill start again

manic rune
#

square enix really doesn't like changing account names

#
  • The registered name on an account cannot be changed to a different person, even if the person is part of your immediate family.
  • Square Enix will not assist in cases of fabricated registrations.
  • Requests must be made by the account holder.
  • A copy of official documentation confirming your identity will be required before we can look into your request.
  • If your name has changed, we will also need a copy of official documentation proving the name change.
cosmic furnace
#

maakes me good husband? lol

viscid fossil
#

They will never change account names.

#

I tried.

cosmic furnace
#

so she will be stuck with my in game name?

viscid fossil
#

Yes

#

Wait

manic rune
#

no, that can be changed

viscid fossil
#

In game name?

#

Character? That you can change.

manic rune
#

character name =/= account name

cosmic furnace
#

well the name everyone sees

manic rune
#

that you can change

#

is she playing for endgame raiding? or

cosmic furnace
#

eventually

manic rune
#

for new players we recommend not skipping any levels or quests

viscid fossil
#

Yeah scary, learning curve is deep if you just start at lvl80 fresh never played FFXIV

manic rune
#

it makes for a smoother experience starting from level 1

cosmic furnace
#

due to not learning the game ?

manic rune
#

yes

#

even if you have MMO experience, there's still a learning curve

viscid fossil
#

It's not genshin impact... with couple of combo buttons

cosmic furnace
#

does the DLC unlocks you can buy unlock all side quests too?

manic rune
#

the main story is also central to the game experience, so unless she's really sure she doesn't care about plot, skipping large portions of the story will make it very hard to understand the rest of the plot

viscid fossil
#

DLC?

cosmic furnace
#

expansions

remote lintel
#

yes expansions come with side quests

#

for that expansion

manic rune
#

you can buy story and level skips associated with each expansion

#

but the bulk of the expansion's content is more story quests

cosmic furnace
#

and it makes the sidequests complete too?

manic rune
#

no

#

only main story quests

#

sidequests are optional

dense kraken
#

skipping the story is pretty wasteful tbh

viscid fossil
#

If you're just jumping to endgame... game may not be really for her. Sorry to say.

manic rune
#

we're not supposed to make judgements here, only to give info

cosmic furnace
#

yeah i know not good..but need to consider options .. time hard too

manic rune
#

an MMO is a big time investment after all

#

you can still play together even if you're not both at endgame

#

you can take her through dungeons and fight stuff on the overworld

cosmic furnace
#

she been on trial 2mths and just got her choco lmao

Too much glam in my retainers

manic rune

that's been a common request, but we don't have any confirmation as for glam dresser expansions

quaint brook
#

One can only hope

manic rune
#

it's possible that they will consider adding more slots and glam plates, but we don't know at this point

exotic flume
#

So "i can't keep up with the space" isn't uncommon... alright.

viscid fossil
#

I had to get rid of the least fav glam to make spaces lately.

glossy flare
#

From SE's point of view it's a data storage issue. 15 glamour plates for millions of players adds up quick in terms of information to be stored on the servers

manic rune
#

get rid of glam pieces that you can get easily/you aren't currently using

viscid fossil
#

You can take out the glam and store it elsewhere after you registered it to your glam plate.

manic rune
#

for example i've gotten rid of some pieces that i thought could fit a theme for a halloween party or something

exotic flume
#

Can we mail items to our own chars? :v

Some pieces can be store in armoires

i think pagos starts at 21 for snow queen. for nm's that drop something dont think there's as much a level cap for the drop as much as for xp reward. for loui yeah lv34+ for ice to drop

i can just get into pagos at 34 right? im probably 27 atm

or should i go in earlier

how long till maintenance would be over approx?

I think I still have a level 1 monk weapon on a level 60 retainer

from quick exploration or the one where you pick?

jovial quarry
#

Both

#

oh ok

#

Yes

jovial quarry
#

Higher ilvl makes their hunting ventures shorter and gives more items, gives access to higher level expedition ventures, and tremendously expands the pool of items for quick ventures.

Any high value items other than dyes from quickventure?

Hard to say. The pool is gigantic.

Yeah idk but logic says it's fine

When opening fete presents, will it not give you, for example a peacelovers coffer, if you already have one in your inventory?

Thank you.

For positional do you need to be near the circle or can you sortve hug the model to move less?

mental oracle
#

If you have a friend on another server can you teleport to his house?

remote lintel
#

positionals dont account for distance

#

as long as you can hit

leaden ginkgo
#

Cool. Thank you.

remote lintel
#

@mental oracle when you visit their world yes

mental oracle
#

oh

leaden ginkgo
#

I'm gonna keep at it. I love the theme of monk to much.

remote lintel
#

i also suggest making your buffs and the target buffs/debuffs bigger

obsidian patio
#

the positional also goes all the way to the center of the hitbox of the monster

#

so if it's an especially big enemy you can stand inside a bit if needed/possible

leaden ginkgo
#

How do you do that? Keeping track of the ability that applies a dot is annoying in raids. I just apply it every second rotation.

remote lintel
#

in hud layout

obsidian patio
#

You can separate the enemy debuff list from the target UI to put it in a more readable position

remote lintel
#

you should be applying demolish every 3rd combo

obsidian patio
#

I think all the things it breaks down into are HP/target, cast, and buffs/debuffs

leaden ginkgo
#

Is there a chart or something for the combos? Maybe I dont have enough skill speed or im messing up. Demolish if its the dot is 15 seconds right? Or am I confusing that with the damage buff.

remote lintel
#

its 18s

obsidian patio
#

MNK's rotation basically boils down to this loop:
Flank>Flank>Rear
Rear>Rear>Flank
Flank>Flank>Flank
Rear>Rear>Rear
Flank>Flank>Flank
Rear>Rear>Flank

leaden ginkgo
#

What is the rearx3?

obsidian patio
#

Bootshine>True>Demolish

remote lintel
#

bootshine true strike demolish

leaden ginkgo
#

I've just been doing

Dragon kick > twin > demolish
Boosting > true strike > snap

And repeating that

remote lintel
#

then youre overwriting your buff and dot

#

and losing potency

#

and damage

leaden ginkgo
#

Dang.

#

So its okay to let the buff/debuff fall off?

#

I just don't think I could cycle my abilites quick enough to reapply them as they fall off.

green grail
#

better to let it fall off for like 1s than overwrite it when it's at 6s

remote lintel
#

^

green grail
#

and lose like 1/3rd of its damage

remote lintel
#

at higher levels they shouldnt fall off or if they do, only for a very short time

leaden ginkgo
#

Cool. So just try to learn the rotation now even if its not optimal? I'm only level 53-54 with like 400 skill speed.

remote lintel
#

you should be getting the muscle memory

#

thats the lvl 80 opener

#

just remove what you dont have

leaden ginkgo
#

Thats really helpful thank you. So they use the shoulder tackle even if they don't need to move for damage? I didn't think of that lol

remote lintel
#

its free damage

#

at higher levels you get 2 charges so you might as well use it

leaden ginkgo
#

Nice!

#

I cant remember if its on global cd or not.

remote lintel
#

its not

polar flame
#

hmm the game is running smoothly at 60 fps everywhere except in really crowded areas where it usually drops to like 50-55. Kinda annoying. Is there anything I can do about it? My GPU is fine and my CPU is only at like 40%

leaden ginkgo
#

Thats really spiffy thank you. I have one last question when do you use true North and the ability that lets you use six abilities without need positionals?

remote lintel
#

perfect balance is in the opener and you use it to spam dragon kick > bootshine

#

true north for when you cant reach positionals for whatever reason

mental oracle
#

Can you transform a personal house into a fc house or are there some specific plots you have to buy?

left moth
leaden ginkgo
#

Alright handy. So my burst phase is using perfect balance then spamming dragon kick and boots Hine.

#

Just use it when its up?

remote lintel
#

you should use perfect balance with riddle of fire and brotherhood so yeah basically

#

theyre all 90s cooldowns so they should line up

leaden ginkgo
#

Thanks alot I really appreciate the tips.

wispy basalt
#

im kindaa lost when i start shb lore
||after the crystal guy summoned me what does he wants from me and with the scions||

remote lintel
#

||he wants you to save the first||

wispy basalt
remote lintel
#

did you already get to the crystarium?

wispy basalt
#

yes

#

you can talk freely dont worry

remote lintel
#

then you know what shards are ||and he explained what the first is||

remote lintel
#

||the shards are the "alternate worlds" split off from the source, which is where we live||

#

||you're on the first shard||

wispy basalt
#

what about the others

polar flame
remote lintel
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

wispy basalt
#

😆

remote lintel
#

we just know the 13th was consumed by darkness

#

||and the first is being threatened to be consumed by light||

gloomy mortar
#

Others are for future expansions I guess lol

wispy basalt
#

oho

remote lintel
#

the crystal tower raids take place in the 13th shard

#

the world of darkness

wispy basalt
#

havent played it yet

#

thanks for helping

agile laurel
#

if you haven't done the crystal tower raids, I would heavily recommend stopping everything and doing them

green grail
#

you need to have done crystal tower to start ShB so you probably have concernedfroge

gloomy mortar
#

If it was consumed, how are you on it?

split briar
#

anyone can pls explain me WTF is Bozja, everyone is saying do Bozjja to level up to 80, Where the heck can I find Bozja? I went to Gangos and its a closed area.

remote lintel
#

it wasnt like deleted from existence

#

it was overrun

agile laurel
#

If you've somehow not done them, then you were lucky enough to avoid the point where it was forced for msq

wispy basalt
#

when i finished sb it said to me that you have to complete crystal tower raid before shb

jade quartz
#

It's forced again at the beginning of ShB.

#

If you missed both of those then it's forced at patch 5.3.

agile laurel
#

Short-form, if you haven't done Crystal Tower then a lot of shadowbringers is flat not going to make sense

jade quartz
#

You can't get there without doing Crystal Tower.

remote lintel
#

i wouldnt say a lot

#

just like 5.3 onwards

#

actually like near the end of shb

jade quartz
#

And 5.3 again forces you to do it if you managed to avoid the other two forced points by getting past them before the mandatory requirements were added.

hardy basalt
#

which is the most profitable profession this late in to the expansion?

whole wasp
#

i guess ALC or CUL since pots and foods are always in demand but its a saturated market

vital ruin
#

in my pf for ruby ex should i specify ilvl
don't want people under i520 joining

whole wasp
#

you might find a niche if you go CRP/WVR etc for furniture,glam pieces, minions etc

young fjord
#

Just invest everything in carpenter and hope new housing/island update make you rich

whole wasp
#

you gotta research your own marketboard to figure out whats profitable

#

also remember that every serious crafter is also an omnicrafter

#

so they can and will dig into any profits they can find. the pot and food makers can still enter the furniture market

hardy basalt
#

Aye, just hit 80 on my first combat class and im starting on my real intreset in the game which is money making, so ill level all of them eventually. But i was thinking id start out with something that can generate some income whilst i do that

whole wasp
#

hmm... you could go for some niche content for combat and earn some good gil that way

#

for example, POTD hairstyles/nightmare pegasus

#

eureka glams/emotes/mounts etc

#

all sell well

young fjord
#

imo best legal way to make money with combat is just spam treasure maps

whole wasp
#

ohright, you can also gather maps everyday with your gatherers and earn easy gil everyday if you dont run the maps

hardy basalt
#

oh i like the crafting aspect, just finished combat to 80 so i dont get hindered by not having done MSQ etc

#

i want to lvl the preofessions

young fjord
#

Or you can just open up a partyfinder and ask people to contact you on discord, that seems legal aswell
