[hardy basalt]

thats no fun 😦

[whole wasp]

ah, theres not much profit to be made until 80 tho. most likely you will lose money until you hit 80

[hardy basalt]

yeah i guess ur right, made a little bit of cash on BOT to 63, maybe i should finish that one up first

[whole wasp]

you can level gatherers in diadem to sell mats too

ohyes, gatherers can get gils well

[young fjord]

Gathers always make money, just not as much. But the time invested always return in profit

[whole wasp]

even doing something as simple as gathering shards since crafters always buy those

there are also opportunities with aetherial sand

[young fjord]

Even low level stuff, things people use to level crafters with. Like they don't want to go out and farm that so they just buy it

Like Alumen or Silver Ore for example

[hardy basalt]

Yeah, that was what i was thinking when starting out with BOT, but i realized i dont know what mats are used for leveling haha. So its a learning expereicen for sure

I dont really know what resources ppl use either when it comes to guides, so im not sure where to sneak a peek

[young fjord]

I suggest to just google a 1-80 [CRAFTER] guide. See what they recommend people do.

Based on that you know what to farm for those people

[hardy basalt]

Alright

[young fjord]

For Botany I know Flax is used a lot

But yeah, check marketboard prices first

[hardy basalt]

Aye Flax looks decent on the market, good quantites with decent prices

Thanks for the tips guys

[shut panther]

Adventurer in need is reasonable steady Gil if you've got a tank and healer

[hardy basalt]

im a dragoon 😦

[gloomy mortar]

What are Forgotten Fragments used for?

[shut panther]

Lost actions in bozja

[glossy flare]

They are basically loot boxes for lost actions

[shut panther]

They list the possible actions in the tooltip

[gloomy mortar]

I googled it and it only tells me when to farm to get these fragments. What are lost actions

[glossy flare]

special duty actions only available inside Bozja

[shut panther]

Special abilities that can only be used in save the Queen zones

[glossy flare]

(or anything related to bozja like zadnor or DR)

Very useful and damn powerful

Use them.

[gloomy mortar]

Someone put a bunch of fragments in the FC chest for the taking. Should I take them? Haven’t done bozja yet

[glossy flare]

It's not like they are hard to come by tbh

[shut panther]

Depends if you intend to do bozja

[glossy flare]

And just hoarding them without doing bozja serves no one

[whole wasp]

you can ask in your FC chat but usually people put them in the FC chest to share

when i did eureka, i dumped all my logograms into my FC chest since i was the only one who did eureka and the rest can get an easier start

if they decide to try in the future

[mental oracle]

what happens to your fc house if you disband the fc?

[glossy flare]

poof

[shut panther]

It fucking explodes

[hardy basalt]

[shut panther]

Seriously though, it gets demolished and timer to it being buyable plot starts

In fact you might actually have to demolish it yourself to disband the FC, but I can't confirm that

[vital ruin]

why doesn't people join ruby ex pf

[shut panther]

I need to do it at some point:(

Maybe in endwalker can't be bothered to learn it

[young fjord]

Old content, pretty much only there for mounts now, As the plate for housing/barding is pretty cheep

[vital ruin]

if ruby ex is old
what is new my guy

im also at 5.4 msq

[shut panther]

They'll probably add shiny weapon.. weapons at some point in endwalker

[gloomy mortar]

Diamond ex?

[shut panther]

Ruby > emerald > diamond

[young fjord]

Diamond Weapon is new'er than ruby with still usable weapons

[vital ruin]

but the mounts

i need the gweibers

its been like 15 minutes no ones joining

[glossy flare]

mount farming still happens from time to time

[vital ruin]

all the sb ex pfs already filled up

[young fjord]

"Loot in order of join"

[glossy flare]

most likely reason for no one joining your pf: no one wants to do ruby ex right now for no particular reason

[vital ruin]

i seriously need to change my dc

[young fjord]

If you are JP like me, just do duty finder

[vital ruin]

wutt

[gloomy mortar]

No one is join it because they said maintenance until 3am pst?

[vital ruin]

whyy

[glossy flare]

that is true, JP does use duty finder for extremes

[vital ruin]

wtf

[glossy flare]

but the expectation is you know your shit

[vital ruin]

they'll wreak havoc

[young fjord]

Becuase EX is faster in JP on duty finder becuase we don't have as bad players

[vital ruin]

but my first time

but i know mechanics

won't i get synced via df

[young fjord]

Now it is starting to sound like you just want a carry to mount

[vital ruin]

nah ima earn it

[shut panther]

If it's your first time you probably shouldn't DF it unless you want to end up on the blacklist.

[proud willow]

It's level 80 content, it is always synced

[vital ruin]

someone here told me ilvl isn't synced in ruby ex

they just have minimum ilvl, no max ilvl

[vital ruin]

o

[oak ice]

Some of it is

[glossy flare]

not ruby ex though

[oak ice]

They have the yellow box with a squiggly line

[shut panther]

I guess tea is

[oak ice]

Correct, trials currently are not

[vital ruin]

but i need to clear it once to farm but no ones joining pf
what do i do

[shut panther]

And I guess dungeons are.

[glossy flare]

wait

[oak ice]

You wait longer than 15 minutes

[proud willow]

you use #general-discussion or #rants to complain about it

[shut panther]

Try again on the weekend

[errant kettle]

Hello ! I was looking to do the Scholasticate Quests >> The Life and Lies of Father Saturnois .
I cannot find the NPC giving the quest. ( I'm in the Pillars and can't find him, Even looking over current yellow quests to see if the NPCs hold more than one quest )
I have completed the required quest " Letters From No One "
as I have both emote and glasses.

[vital ruin]

nah im looking for solutions not a discussion

[shut panther]

Rephrase your pf to make it more appealing

[proud willow]

You seem to very very frequently come to this channel to rant while posing it as a question

[vital ruin]

i usually ask questions in this channel

[glossy flare]

The solution is you keep waiting

there is absolutely nothing else you can do

[vital ruin]

will it be easier if i join an fc

[shut panther]

Probably.

[glossy flare]

maybe, if they have people willing to do that stuff

depends on the fc of course

[night oxide]

are there any good addons i should download? everythings very flashy and confusing sometimes, tbf im not that far into the game so i prob dont need em

[vital ruin]

i c

[gloomy mortar]

Yes; my FC does mount farming every Friday

[shut panther]

Generally having a community of people connected to you is a good way to get help, yeah.

[glossy flare]

No super essential addons, plus UI addons aren't really a thing in this game anyway

[shut panther]

I would recommend reducing party effects

[cosmic reef]

Does lost excellence work on Sav duel?

[glossy flare]

the major addon is ACT but that is mostly just for parsing

[night oxide]

no, I WANNA GO BLIND

whats parsing uwu

[proud willow]

Possible you have picked it up already and have it hidden?

[shut panther]

DPs meters.

[glossy flare]

dps meters for statistics and stuff

[night oxide]

ooooo

[errant kettle]

No, I dom't have it.
Just my relic weapon / Bozja quest.

[strong saddle]

Imagine using dps meters to check your own

[shut panther]

I would probably recommend quick launcher to everyone, and the add-on support it provides, but a lot of people are resistant to third party programs

[strong saddle]

Quick launcher!

?

[proud willow]

can you search for it in your completed quests?

[glossy flare]

quick launcher is just a better launcher with a few features like improved addon support

technically against tos if that bothers you, but it is genuinely better than the default launcher

[agile laurel]

no rsn why not

[proud willow]

the quest giver should be at (10.5, 9.9)

[ruby plover]

fastest way to get crystal sand for anima weapon? Any suggestions?

[shut panther]

Genuinely better than the base launcher, allows password saving and add-ons that to me, dramatically improve the experience

[shut panther]

Do you have a crafter

[ruby plover]

yes

[gloomy mortar]

@ruby plover Weeky script turn ins

[ruby plover]

oh havent been doing those lmao

weaver can do that rightr?

[quaint brook]

I bought a bunch of blue scrips and used those

[gloomy mortar]

Yeah, all crafter and gatherers

[ruby plover]

niceee ok thanks guys 😄

[gloomy mortar]

👍🍺

[vital ruin]

okay so ive been having communication issues in kujata and whenever i look up activities in pf its usually in japanese
i planned on going to tonberry but im pretty sure I'll have the same issue
do i juat go to chaos/light
my time zones is in GMT so

[wintry chasm]

Did you do the Hildibrand ARR questline?

[shut panther]

Yeah, buy blue crafters scrip and trade then

Them

Easiest by far

[wintry chasm]

If your timezone is GMT why the fuck are you in JP servers?

[shut panther]

Rather, Rowena tokens (blue crafters scrip)

[vital ruin]

GMT+6

[wintry chasm]

OH

[errant kettle]

Yeah, I've finished Hild, Assuming i'm all done because I have the final dance LOL.

[wintry sable]

Where i can see the hotfixes?

[vital ruin]

JP is GMT+9

[wintry chasm]

You just said GMT so I assumed...

[vital ruin]

EU is GMT+ 1/2 which is pretty bad

but no oceanic dc so idk what to do

both are bad

[glossy flare]

well... oceanic dc is coming soon at least

gotta suffer a while longer until that

[wintry chasm]

Well I'd just stick around and wait tbh. If you do go anywhere NA might be better ping

[vital ruin]

6.1

[wintry chasm]

Not soon

[vital ruin]

my ping rn is so shit

[glossy flare]

Half a year is soon compared to how long people have been asking for it

[wintry chasm]

This will be like, an entire year from now

[vital ruin]

its mot better in NA

[wintry sable]

.

[vital ruin]

not*

[errant kettle]

I finished the quest I guess.
Even though it didn't come up when i searched it.

Just visited Calamity Salvager and found it so Im big idiot 🥴

• wanted the coat

[wintry chasm]

Not half a year Cypher

[glossy flare]

rly, 6.1? I thought 6.0. TIL

[vital ruin]

but i wanna mount farm and do endgame stuffs but pf is filled with jp

so do i move to Tonberry or EU dc

[shut panther]

Data centre travel will help with that, in 558

What's your eu ping?

The game is perfectly playable up to like.. 200 ping

Although I think anyone over 100 or so should consider using Alexander if they're doing high end content

[vital ruin]

I can't calculate ping on the PS4

or idk how to

[shut panther]

It's not different on your PS4 than any device on the same network

[vital ruin]

in my charcter selection screen the connection is poor despite having good internet

[shut panther]

!datacenterip

I don't know the command rip

[coral ermine]

I think both tonberry & kujata are in elemental..? What would moving to tonberry accomplish?

[young fjord]

PF filled with JP on a JP server, ohh no. the horror

[vital ruin]

maybe help? if you can't don't bother picking a fight @young fjord

[vocal shell]

Can be your ISP's routing to the servers

[vital ruin]

i already know the issue can't fix it till 6.1

ping can wait
i just wanna fix this communication issues im having

[vocal shell]

what communication issue

[vital ruin]

im in jp cant speak or understand jp

there's no other dc close to GMT+6 other than JP

[vocal shell]

uh, you're in a JP data center so of course you'll encounter alot of JP players

can join EN/JP parties

or make your own

[strong saddle]

Isnt there an auto translate function?

[ionic peak]

Whats PC equivalent of cycling through npc/objects using D pad left and right?

[vital ruin]

idk man my pf is not filling up and im seeing a lot of pfs for the extremes I'm trying to do but theyre in jp

[young fjord]

Target with 5 on numpad, then either 4 or 6 on numpad

[strong saddle]

Wait why did u join a jp server anywa

Anyway

[vital ruin]

^

[strong saddle]

Ah

[ionic peak]

i dont have a numpad 😦

[plucky wigeon]

Hello lads, any1 knows the average wait-time currently for the European Support? Im losing my mind atm.

[vocal shell]

it's just the nature of the dc you're playing with

can't really do anything else about it

[ionic peak]

Wait i found

[vital ruin]

[ionic peak]

the keybind for it

[young fjord]

Depends on type of problem

[ionic peak]

Thanks!

[vital ruin]

so do i just transfer for to EU dc

[plucky wigeon]

They havent even replied to me but its Account related...

[vocal shell]

lmao it's up to you

[vital ruin]

I can't take anymore jp

[leaden ginkgo]

You either learn to read jp and use deepL
Or get out and move to different data center
Expect 100-200 ms ping
It isnt end of world

[vital ruin]

but chaos or light

[young fjord]

Do you prefer germans or french?

[vital ruin]

fuck

[whole wasp]

if you are in GMT +6, test your ping to NA, it might be better than EU

my ping to EU is 400+ but only 200+ to NA

[vital ruin]

all are connection: poor

[whole wasp]

unfortunate

[vital ruin]

idk how to calculate ping on the PS4

[vocal shell]

test it on a pc

[vital ruin]

but i need the ips

[lethal cape]

What mats is recommended to get with allegories? I have 1.8k and I do not want to overcap

[oak ice]

If you have upgraded your exarchic pieces to i520, then it's just dependent on your server's market what's more worth it

Spirit extract should be fairly profitable still, though

[zinc orbit]

Materia & Melding FAQ

How do I unlock melding?

Complete Forging the Spirit (materia extract/npc melding) and Waking the Spirit (player melding) in Central Thanalan.

How can I get my gear melded?

To meld visible Materia slots a NPC melder in any major city will do (marked with a Blue Materia icon on the map). To overmeld gear you'll need to request another player to meld your gear or to do it yourself.

Why can't I meld this Materia to my stuff?

Every Tier of Materia has a minimum item level requirement that gear must meet to allow melding of that Tier. Tier 6 Materia requires an item level of 290 while Tiers 7 and 8 require an item level of 420.

Why is my meld giving +0 stats?

Every item has a maximum amount of stats that can be given through melding and the natural stats found on the gear. This can be seen at the bottom of the Materia Melding menu, as seen in the picture below.

The secondary stat with a higher number is already at the cap and cannot be further melded.

Image URL: https://i.imgur.com/Be6dQaZ.png

[wintry chasm]

Overmelding and pentamelding is the same thing

Since that command doesn't quite say it uhh

Overmelding lets you put materia in gear past the guaranteed slots it will have to a maximum of 5 materia total

Having 5 materia being pentamelding

[leaden ginkgo]

I see

[young fjord]

In game they called it Advanced Melding in english client

[mental oracle]

What's the red buff icon that dancer put on me? It doesn't explain what it does

[young fjord]

It's basicly just a "target"

[quaint brook]

You have to dance with them

Ur their partner

[young fjord]

Person with redbuff get extra damage buffs from dancers other abilities

[obsidian patio]

it let's the dancer share specific buffs with you

[quaint brook]

U know the saying, it takes 2 to tango

[mental oracle]

So it's good to have a dancer in party

[obsidian patio]

You basically get a permanent 5% damage increase and then the crit/direct buff every 2 minutes

[young fjord]

Depends imo, as the damage is % based, it more beneficial for say a SAM or a BLM than a Bard

[obsidian patio]

Assuming equal skill/gear, of course.

[young fjord]

Yeah

[obsidian patio]

but as always it should generally go to whoever is doing the most damage.

[young fjord]

Bad players will be bad no matter how much you buff them

[worthy basin]

what's the level 70 dungeon that gives the most exp?

or is it the same for all of them?

[young fjord]

None does

[warm snow]

About the same

[quaint brook]

Same, i believe

[warm snow]

Which is to say they all give crap exp

[young fjord]

It's moer beneficial to do lvl 69 dungeons

[quaint brook]

Only leveling dungeons give more

[warm snow]

Level cap dungeons all give crap exp

Come Endwalker all the lv80 dungeons will give crap exp

[young fjord]

All 50/60/70 dungeons have exp reductions on them, so it's better to do the closest one below that

[warm snow]

I'm guessing he wants to multitask while doing the relics

[potent lava]

so during active time maneuvers, does mashing E also work?

Mashing anything works

Just press 5 buttons at onces

All buttons on a controller, so probably all keys on a keyboard, unless you're in the chat window

oh so literally turn into hackermann during those

[whole wasp]

mash both your mouse and keyboard

[warm snow]

For certain gear you can do what's called advanced melding which let's your force 5 materia into gesr

[lethal cape]

This?

[warm snow]

The last piece has a success rate of 5%

[whole wasp]

relics automatically have 5 slots

[warm snow]

No that weapon has 5 meld slots

[whole wasp]

the advanced melded materia should be red

[lethal cape]

Oh

[warm snow]

I once lost 200 lv7 materia to a pentameld

[lethal cape]

Ohh

[warm snow]

Determination on a crafter... Wtf

[whole wasp]

since you are forcing it in, there is a chance to break on entry

you can lose hundreds of materias and go broke very easily

if you just keep rolling dice

[whole wasp]

meme meld

[warm snow]

At least now it's automated...

[whole wasp]

i kinda miss it

sitting in limsa and listenining to the materias break amid the tears of crafters

[warm snow]

More time to grind relics, I'm up to 6/17

[eternal dome]

any reason to create an additional character? no, right? just if I want a new "look" or lore reasons

I suppose

[young fjord]

Just keep on pushing and it will fit eventually

[glossy flare]

pretty much, yeah

[whole wasp]

lots of people also have character per DC

[eternal dome]

good 🙂

[whole wasp]

so they can visit their friends

but its optional

[warm snow]

Some people do it so they can run weekly locked content multiple times

[eternal dome]

oh, so you cant travel to different servers? ah wait, DATA centers...

[whole wasp]

yea. one in NA, one in EU, one in JP usually

[eternal dome]

perfect, thanks 🙂

[warm snow]

The current raid tier gives loot depending on how many people haven't cleared it this week.

[eternal dome]

interesting

[warm snow]

So party finders want 8 people that haven't cleared yet

And some people mainly want to do the fights again for fun

A guy in my fc has an alt specifically for that

Anyways there's no reason for the majority of players to have an alt

[eternal dome]

thanks for the reply 🙂

Hey, is there a FFXIV discord server dedicated to Eureka?

[quasi mulch]

Oh that was fast, thank you very much >:)

[tepid flame]

I just finished all alexander normal raids, how do I unlock higher difficulty ones?

[green grail]

savage unlocks in mor dhona, but it's old high-end endgame content, so no one does it anymore pretty much

[boreal storm]

People do run A9S for Anima light farming though

[honest anvil]

Do you have to finish all alex normals to unlock tea? Or is it just e4s?

[warm snow]

Just e4s

[lethal cape]

Where to unlock Anamnesis Anyder

[green grail]

msq

[warm snow]

Amaurot

[lethal cape]

I finished all MSQ, still locked

[warm snow]

See above

[lethal cape]

This?

[green grail]

it's part of the 5.2 msq, you probably mean akadaemia anyder

[exotic flume]

Is there a reason "recommended items" wants my level 29 pally to wear no boots?

[lethal cape]

Ohhh, yes, sorry
Akadaemia

A guide says "Find the starter NPC, the Overwrought Ondo outside of Eulmore at the Southeast Derelicts location at X 12.8, Y 12.3."
But it's confusing me and I don't know where "outside of Eulmore" means

[warm snow]

The actual location in tempest

[green grail]

it's probably reccomending one of those big metal pants items that doesnt let you equip boots

[boreal storm]

Some tank legs don’t allow boots to be worn

[exotic flume]

O.O ty guys, that's nuts

[green grail]

some chestpieces remove headpieces too, its just one weird phase in low level tank gear

[warm snow]

Old arr shit

[green grail]

go to eulmore and use the aethernet to go outside, there's more to the town than the area around the aetheryte, if you recall from msq

[lethal cape]

Oh that's what it means ty

[green grail]

(if you attunded to the aethernets i guess, if you didn't then just walk)

[lethal cape]

Is there a list of daily/weekly activities that a person can do in order to progress?
(e.g. which raids to do weekly, which dungeons to run daily, what things to farm towards relics/better gear etc)

[versed bison]

is the rathalos fight easy or hard ?

like do I need prior rathalos fighting experience for ffxiv rathalos ?

[gloomy mortar]

Easy

[boreal storm]

The normal version should be fine

EX however

[crystal bluff]

I mean
No one is gonna be running it synced

[young fjord]

If you can beat Rathalos in another monster hunter game you can beat it here

[warm snow]

I've had plenty of unsynced wipes to rath ex

Cuz you only get 3 carts

[green grail]

cap your revelation through any roulette/dungeon/content you want, get a weekly coin from the third nier raid, clear savage for loot/books if you're doing high end content, that's basically it for worthwhile weekly stuff

[versed bison]

[zinc orbit]

How to do Group Instances by Yourself or Without Enough People

In your duty finder window select the ⚙️ icon on the top left to open up the duty finder settings window.
Inside that window select the setting undersized party before confirming and entering the instances of your choice. NOTE: UNSYNC-ING AN INSTANCE WILL FORFEIT ALL OF YOUR EXP AND COMPLETION REWARDS. Poetics from a first time completion bonus and loots chests remain the same and will not be lost. You may not queue for daily roulettes using this method.

[warm snow]

Oh, forgot this doesn't mention that it also disables level sync

[lethal cape]

Oh i see, thank you
Also, for the Nier raid, do I get all the other coins too if I run third nier raid or do I need to run each one individually for the weekly coins?

[green grail]

you have to run each one, but only the last one is weekly locked

[lethal cape]

Oh okay

So I can just run the other 2 constantly for coins, ty

[versed bison]

ex gives the mount ?

[wintry chasm]

Yes

[gloomy mortar]

@lethal cape join Hunt trains for easier farming of tomes. Each train takes 20 mins, get 120 revelation, 240 allegory, 480 nuts

[versed bison]

so mounts are obtained if we do trials at the most difficult stage of a trial ?

[wintry chasm]

Yea

[gloomy mortar]

Yea

[boreal storm]

They’ll occasionally drop

Not guaranteed

[feral nebula]

i think u can farm rathalos mount through normal mode tho if u gather the scales?

[lethal cape]

Tomes for what?

[proud willow]

Normal only drops the normal scales, you need the + scales to eventually earn the mount

[green grail]

520/530 gear

[mortal ledge]

my friend keeps getting the i2501 error when creating an account any help? she's from SEA so any help would do

[versed bison]

ah shit... so I have to get real real real good in this game then

[lethal cape]

ohh

[boreal storm]

No just unsync it and be slightly competent

[tawdry citrus]

anyone know where you go to meld materia into the zodiac relic weapon? doesn't seem to work doing it the conventional way

[proud willow]

the EX fight can be done unsynced, it's pretty easy especially on 4 tanks

[leaden ginkgo]

is there a shared account system here
moving stuff from character to character

[warm snow]

You meld it to the scroll

[gloomy mortar]

@lethal cape revelation = 520 cryptlurker, allegory upgrades 510 exarchic to 520 exarchic, nuts upgrade 520 cryptlurker to 530 cryptlurker.

[versed bison]

But unsyncing does not allow rewards right ?

[boreal storm]

You still get chests

[proud willow]

you'll still get chests

[tawdry citrus]

would that be in your key items, or?

[warm snow]

It's in your inventory

Or you haven't gotten it yet

[versed bison]

@warm snow how are you so good at 2 games ?

[leaden ginkgo]

?

[green grail]

no

[leaden ginkgo]

ty

[warm snow]

???

[versed bison]

you are so good in mhw and ffxiv

[warm snow]

Mh is years of experience, ff14 is needing a lockdown distraction

[versed bison]

how long you've been hunting ?

[boreal storm]

Ahem #not-ffxiv-discussion

[graceful jetty]

If I reach LV 50 for profession X, and I choose a second profession, I will be LV 1, right? But I won't have gear at all except weapon. Won't the lack of armors be a problem?

[crystal bluff]

No

[warm snow]

Depends on the job

And when it was introduced

[hearty mango]

You can buy gear from vendors for early levels

[warm snow]

Arr jobs start at lv1
HW at 30
Sb at 50
Shb at 60

[boreal storm]

You get armor from job quests, or vendors

[warm snow]

Ew at 70

[crystal bluff]

Just buy level 1 armor
And use the armor you get job quests and dungeons, or buy vendor gear

[hearty mango]

also sb and shb jobs give you an armor set too

[boreal storm]

Dungeons at 15+

[gloomy mortar]

Lvl 1 Race specific armor is 👍

[tawdry citrus]

figured it out btw, realized i forgot to talk to said guy a second time to get the scrolls lol @warm snow

[tender ice]

Is there any particular reason for this happening?

[runic zephyr]

hey, i saw the 60% sale for ffxiv and wanted to upgrade from my free trial to the complete edition via the mog station, but for some reason the mog station doesn't have the lowered price. does someone know why/help me with that?

[green grail]

you don't buy the game on mogstation

that's just for account management/adding a code of the game

so buy it on SE store if you're a non-steam trial player

[tender ice]

Has anyone else had this error I posted? I just can't get on the game for some reason

[tawdry citrus]

i haven't seen it before, sorry :/

[green grail]

you could try updating through the quicklauncher, but i don't have any experience with errors

[barren granite]

hmm weird. i havent logged in for 2 days and my daily beast quests still have 0 daily allowances

[green grail]

they don't reset until you finish the ones you have in your journal

once you turn in or abandon the ones you have then you'll instantly get a days worth of allowances

[tender ice]

I seemed to have fixed it by deleting my dx11 file

I have no idea what happened

[cosmic reef]

How does lost boost effect flare star?

It says weaponskills. But it refreshes the GCD on spells and weaponskills

[barren granite]

thanks vis

[obsidian patio]

Flare Star is a spell, and therefor does not get buffed by Lost Boost

[rich bay]

That is Shirogane in Hingashi.

I can see it because there is a torch on the beach.

[proper bolt]

I am COMPLETELY stuck. Ok so I am a PS4/PS5 player. Havent played since Jan. Got a ps5, loaded it up and it autofills my ID. I try a password and it doesnt work so I use the password reset thing, it send a link, I reset, get the confirmation but I go back to the PS5 type in the new password and it doesnt work.

I go to my PC and go to Mogstation and type my ID.password and I log in fine

[scarlet widget]

Hi, I'm still wrapping my head around scrips, specifically yellow to begin with. I only have Zhloe at the moment - is it only 6 per npc but 12 custom deliveries in total? Are there any other ways to gain yellow scrips besides this? Thanks!

[proper bolt]

I have been trying for 2 hours to contact support and they said they open from 11am and it's almost 1:30pm now and nothing.

[quaint brook]

Yes 6 deliveries per NPC and 12 total for the week, while ur leveling it usually takes 3 turnins to level up and then it switched items, it goes in order until they r maxed then it becomes random

[green grail]

rowena's house of splendors or whatever is called, NPCs in a bunch of cities accept collectables, basically unlimited custom deliveries, just with smaller rewards and you have to gather the mats yourself

[fluid spear]

Is it best to just make a new account or play on old account not sure which gives more benefits? For exp buffs etc

[scarlet widget]

Oh I dont just have to stick with Zhloe, I can still hand in for more scrips but just get fewer? Thanks that's very useful to know! Now I can go try get more of the master craftsbooks...

[warm root]

So i just activated the game yday and played for a while, however today when i login after the maintance i keep getting 11000002 diretx error. Was there some issues with the maintance or am i alone w this ?

[green grail]

they're in each starting city, idyllshire, rhalgr's reach, crystarium

[quaint brook]

Depends on ur level, but ifnu have a high level crafter I'd recommend using that one to make the items then switch to the job u wanna level, if ur leveling, if it's just scrips then stay the high level class@scarlet widget

[wintry sable]

So.. can someone send me the link of the hotfixes?

Or tell me what they did?

[scarlet widget]

Yeah thanks, they are all roughly the same level and I'm just after scrips rather than level but I'll swap between them all to keep them balanced. Thanks so much!

[green grail]

depends on what you have on your account, like some exp boost items from preorders, friend referral or whatever

you can always just make a new character on the same account if you want to start over? no reason to make a new account if you have access to everything

[quaint brook]

If your old account has the helm of light or any preorder xp earrings, I'd use that one, you can also go to preferred world's for a XP boost

[wintry sable]

.

[quaint brook]

You could also preorder endwalker for those earrings if u wanna start a new account, u could do that for both tho. I'd say the old account so u don't start completely new

[wintry sable]

Sigh

[green grail]

it's on the lodestone, like everything else

bumping a message that's 3 lines above is cringe

it will show up in #lodestone-news-na soon probably

[wintry sable]

Yeah can't find it

[fluid spear]

Hmm I have a question do they ever give you acc. Info I don't recall anything from it sadly. Last played when bahamut was the end game boss beat it then quit. I found my character though online lol or is it a lost cause with support?

[wintry sable]

Nothing it says other than it will be a maintenance

But its already over so i want to see a list of the hotfixes

Nvm finally found it

[quaint brook]

Do you know the email u used?

U can get ur user id sent if u do

Same option for if u forgot ur pw when u try to log in on mogstation

[fluid spear]

Hmm I can't remember sadly

[quaint brook]

Oof, then idk sorry

Try all the emails u think ud use xD

[tender ice]

Was there a patch today?

[quaint brook]

Hotfix

[tender ice]

Like a small one or something

Yeah

Cheers

[lavish vortex]

Hi! Is there a good known method to farm for forgotten fragments of awakening? I tried googling without success

[glossy flare]

look up what mobs drop them and then kill a bunch

easier in a group ofc

The easiest way would probably be just buying the fragments on the mb if you have the gil

[lavish vortex]

I do have the Gil actually, thanks!!

[tender ice]

Does the launcher have any sort of 'verify game files' option anywhere?

[green grail]

don't think so

[runic prawn]

Whats a fair price to buy fisher levekits from 50 to 70?

[quaint forge]

In order to get to better parsing color rank, so all you gotta do is keep participating with top DPS to high end duties, yes?

[glossy flare]

Deal more dmg -> higher rank

[green grail]

rank is just personal best i think?

[quaint forge]

Close enough.

[glossy flare]

weren't they referring to the colour of the parse?

[green grail]

there's ranks on fflogs character profile too

[glossy flare]

true

well... pick whatever answer matters to you 😄

[quaint forge]

I totally forgot FFlog recorded my ancient parse (which is grey L0L)

[exotic flume]

Is there a nice list to rush and crush hunting logs?

(With coords)

[glossy flare]

https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Hunting_Log

This has coordinates, but honestly, just hovering over each entry tells you the map and the part of the map to look in. Which is usually more than enough to do it.

[exotic flume]

I wasn't able to find Bombs in Horizon by myself T_T

Don't want that to happen again.

I was even flying.

[open coral]

By Copperbell Mines

[runic prawn]

How do u guys level crafter pre moogle beat tribe?

[exotic flume]

Ty. A pro showed me the way after asking a group mid-fate.

[open coral]

Honestly though, some of the enemies are easier to find if you're not flying.

[exotic flume]

Yeh, just not bombs haha (i think).

[warped nest]

Leve

[open coral]

Ixal beast tribe, Ishgard, and levequests.

[exotic flume]

Grand companies+leve?

[warped nest]

Tbh, moogle beast tribes are just okay for exp

Leve gives a lot of exp

Especially when you turn in HQ items

[runic prawn]

Isnt the ishgard thing over?

[open coral]

No

[warped nest]

Yes and no

[open coral]

You can still do Ishgard.

[warped nest]

The big group effort thing is done

But you can still turn in stuff for exp

[exotic flume]

Apologies, I fail to see the coords.

[runic prawn]

Is ishgard better than leve?

[open coral]

Significantly

[glossy flare]

select whichever hunting log you need first

[runic prawn]

Ok ill try that. Last time i tried itbi couldnt afford to buy the crafting mats and kinda gave up

[glossy flare]

are you viewing that on mobile? this is how it looks for me

[rancid gull]

when do I unlock the passive system just hit 25 on Zodnor

[warped nest]

What's a zodnor

[rancid gull]

new bozja area

[warm snow]

Clear dalriada

[rancid gull]

thank ya, does it spawn often?

[warped nest]

Btw, regarding hunting log enemies

They should have a wavey line icons on them

[exotic flume]

Can i have that link to see the url difference please? I'm on chrome desktop.

[glossy flare]

https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Hunting_Log#Gladiator

[warped nest]

Just look around the sub area for them

[rancid gull]

how much exp do you need per passive trait?

for the 25* system

[exotic flume]

Was looking at a different webpage like an idiot, ty. ❤️

[grim bolt]

So, what's the easiest class to make gil with?

[green grail]

it's like 20mil mettle for 3 proofs iirc, but then the price per buff stack increases every couple purchases

[exotic flume]

Crafter?

[grim bolt]

Because I don't understand the player market :')

Just...crafter's in general? Fair enough

[agile laurel]

there is no 'understand' or 'easiest', you have to look to see what's selling that you have the capacity to make

leveling crafters might help, because it shows you what's needed

if something was easy to make gil with, logically it wouldn't work would it

[versed bison]

do good players play even at 275ms ping ?

[modest igloo]

Some do

[agile laurel]

275 is a bit steep but i know folks who did savage on 200+

...before switching to a vpn

...and never going back

[modest igloo]

Yeah most use a VPN

Mudfish is pretty cheap and easy

[versed bison]

I see, because I might also move to New Zealand and the ping between nz and frankfurt is pretty high

[modest igloo]

Yeah good point

[versed bison]

it depends on where I get accepted lol

[rancid gull]

@versed bison couple months from now there's gonna be a ocean based server

[modest igloo]

OCE servers will be in 6.1 IIRC

So gonna be a bit

[rancid gull]

I think they mentioned a little bit after release of end walker

[grim bolt]

That's...yeah you're gonna be at 300+ ping man

But I'm pretty sure FFXIV is server meshed I think

[rancid gull]

because they had staff that couldn't even visit locally and had to setup via remote

[stable tangle]

so idk much about the pricing, i have a 60 days card i didnt redeem yet and a 0 days left standard account with a lvl 16 character, do i create a new account, level it up as a trial account and then buy the game again, or do i use the code on my current account?

[versed bison]

I am just worried about losing my FC because I built a good rapport with them

[rancid gull]

thing is, with the new system you can just play on ocean and remain wherever you are

[grim bolt]

You'll still be able to play

[rancid gull]

yea

you can choose where your ping is at

mudfish is a good option too until all of this happens

u load it with like 2-3 euros you'll have enough bandwidth for years

it doesn't decay neither

had my mudfish loaded since HW expansion release

only put 4 euros on it

[humble epoch]

how hard is the epic of alexander ultimate?

[glossy flare]

pretty challenging, like all the ultimates

[green grail]

basically the hardest content in the game

[versed bison]

wait... with all the vpn talk, square enix does not ban you for using vpn ?

[rancid gull]

they don't

[frosty badger]

How many of the oddly mats you need for the first 3 stages is skytool?

[rancid gull]

and it only works for the game you're selected using mudfish

unless you choose a universal config

they're not valve, unless you try to purchase something for cheaper

you won't get punished

[green grail]

they may lock your account as a precaution if they detect a significant ip change or something, but you just click a link in an email to unlock it, but i've never really heard it to be an issue with vpns

[vital dew]

DR or diariada better for relic quest?

[alpine shadow]

iirc, registering a 2fa code will most likely prevent a lockout

[frosty badger]

20+30+18+??

[alpine shadow]

low-security accounts probably get locked out cause of 'suspicious behaviour' as if it thinks someone stole your account

[rancid gull]

never been locked out, use email authication on my end

this is with mudfish, and it auto selecting the best path

you could get fancy with it, but it might make ACT or other things harder to use unless you config deeper

[exotic flume]

Using mobile after a residential isp registration can get you locked out and suggested to put up OTP or repeat the problem indefinitely.

[hazy flint]

does joining halfway in progress of main scenario roulette net much exp or is the bonus for starting at the beginning. Like is it a smaller bonus now?

[leaden ginkgo]

Hello i cant find anything on the internet about the Airship pilot in the doman enclave and i dont see the pilot standing there help

[glossy flare]

The bonus will be the same since it's awarded at the end of the instance

[agile laurel]

have you actually done the quests unlocking gangos?

[glossy flare]

You will just lack whatever xp is awarded by killing stuff

[grim bolt]

Yo how can I get the cryptlurker set because uh, that's some drip

[leaden ginkgo]

I dont know where to pick it up i've been googling the whole time i did finish the whole quest line

[glossy flare]

tomestones of revelation

[glossy flare]

^

[agile laurel]

so you've done all of the ivalice quests?

[leaden ginkgo]

i dont think so i just followed the main quest line

[glossy flare]

gotta do that first

[agile laurel]

then you've done none of it

gotta do that

[glossy flare]

all the Stormblood alliance raids

[leaden ginkgo]

Oh rip where can i pick it up

[glossy flare]

Kugane

remember the npc, the same NPC will start the whole bozja stuff once you are done with it

[humble epoch]

On astrologian if my gear can't be put in with more CH what is my next stat to prio?

[gritty oracle]

Where can I find class gauge explanations in the active help menu?

[modest igloo]

Dhit/Det

[gritty oracle]

searching for "gauge" brought up only LB

[tender ice]

Will reinstalling the game reset my UI and keybinds etc?

[gusty pier]

Where can I get master books 1 and 2? I can only find 3 and up

[gritty oracle]

Ys. But you can back them up to the server, allowing you to redownload every setting when you're done!

[leaden ginkgo]

I Currently have a PC and PS4 license for the game, but i want to play it through steam, if i pre order endwalker on steam will i be able to log in with my Square enix account or do i have to buy the complete edition

[tender ice]

Can't get on the game atm

[gritty oracle]

For those, you have to hand specific items to a NPC in Mor Dhona

[tender ice]

Thats why I need to reinstall, maaan this is annoying asf.

[gusty pier]

I see. So its a quest or just talk to an npc and trade items for the book?

[gritty oracle]

No, it's a simple trade. The NPC is Guiding Star, master of hand and land I think.

[tender ice]

I've not been able to log onto the game since the hotfix

[gusty pier]

Thanks o/

[tender ice]

Nothing I have tried has worked

[gritty oracle]

Okay so you want to look for a folder in your FFXIV menu. Let me look up the path

[tender ice]

thanks

[green grail]

it shouldn't, that's stored locally yeah

[tender ice]

So it does or it doesn't

[green grail]

like, in a separate folder than the install path

C:\Users\admin\Documents\My Games\FINAL FANTASY XIV - A Realm Reborn

basically back that up

but just uninstalling the game doesn't delete it afaik

[tender ice]

Is my UI and keybinds in there

[green grail]

yes

[gritty oracle]

more specifically, back up the folders that are named something like "FFXIV_CHR004000174BAC365E"

Eachb such folder is one of your characters

[tender ice]

okay, thanks. i do not want to do all my stuff again and the hotfix has broken my game so I cannot log in

[leaden ginkgo]

is fending for samurai ?

[warm snow]

No

Fending is tank gear

[gritty oracle]

But there's also the possibility that your config is breaking your game, so I'd try removing them from the FFXIV folder to mimic deleting it, and try to launch the game

[leaden ginkgo]

slayer ?

[gritty oracle]

Striking is samurai iirc

[green grail]

striking/slaying yeah

[elder root]

fending is for tanks

[green grail]

slaying is just general STR dps

gear

[leaden ginkgo]

what should i go with

[green grail]

striking or slaying, whatever's the higher ilvl

[gritty oracle]

Striking left side, and slaying accessories

[green grail]

and yeah^

[leaden ginkgo]

thanks !

[karmic cove]

what questline is this?

[humble epoch]

can i loot e9s-e12s over and over for loot?

[glossy flare]

those are the ARR alliance raids

[modest igloo]

!faq savageloot

[zinc orbit]

What floors of savage drop which items?

Per tier:
First floor: (Belt/Earring/Necklace/Bracelet/Ring) x3
Second floor: (Head/Gloves/Boots) x2 + Weapon Tomestone + Glaze
Third floor: Head/Gloves/Boots + Legs + Twine + Solvent
Fourth floor: Weapon + Chest + Random single weapon + Mount + Minion

Loot Rules: Following each weekly reset, every player has a chance to obtain loot from the Savage encounters of the current raid tier. Upon clearing each floor, you will obtain 1 book specific to that fight (e.g. Book of Anamorphosis) and a chance to roll on the loot from that floor. Regardless of if you obtained loot from your weekly clear, you will be barred from rolling on loot from the same encounter until the next weekly reset.

Entering an encounter before clearing the previous floor(s) will relinquish all rewards from previously uncleared floors. (e.g. Entering E12S before clearing E9S for the week will relinquish loot from E9S, E10S, and E11S.) You will lose a chance to earn a book and your chance to roll on any loot that drops that week.

The number of players in your party that have cleared/skipped the encounter for the week will also affect the loot you will get after clearing the encounter.
0 players cleared: 2 chests
1-4 players cleared: 1 chest
5-8 players cleared: 0 chests

[modest igloo]

in short, no

[glossy flare]

you basically run each floor once per week

preferably with ppl who also haven't done it this week

[humble epoch]

oh i see

so if i skip to umbra i lose all the loot

from previous?

[glossy flare]

yes

[modest igloo]

that is what it says

[humble epoch]

alright

but in party finder there are none that do umbra or less

umbra litany and anamorph

are the only ones listed

[glossy flare]

make your own pf then

[humble epoch]

don't people bother with the rest?

I haven't done savage before xD

just got my materia done

[leaden ginkgo]

Is it possible to make members of my free company have different colored names, like how friends do?

[humble epoch]

planning on trying tonight

[modest igloo]

the tier has been out for a while

[gritty oracle]

I've started unlocking Count Whatshisface as custom delivery. I handed in the first quest, then everyone disappeared. Where's the next quest?

[leaden ginkgo]

Hello.
Question regarding materia.
Is there an npc trader who sells lvl3 materia like piety, battledance etc

Im a free trial player

[modest igloo]

the marketboard does

[gritty oracle]

I think you can buy some for GC seals

[modest igloo]

yeah and seals

[leaden ginkgo]

O.O

Omg thank you!!!!!!!

[modest igloo]

uh i think there's a new questline? been a bit, to unlock him you gotta travel around

[gusty pier]

Why are some items names a bit fade out compared to others?

[quaint brook]

U need to make the crafter a specialist@gusty pier

[gusty pier]

I see.. I have yet to tackle that

[leaden ginkgo]

Umm, I just checked wiki. GCs do NOT offer materia. Personally checked too.

*ingame, I mean

[modest igloo]

then the marketboard is your best bet

[leaden ginkgo]

:(

[modest igloo]

you're doing lvl 50 relics right?

[leaden ginkgo]

Yup.

[modest igloo]

welcome to hell enjoy your stay

[leaden ginkgo]

T.T T.T T.T

[quaint brook]

Once you decide to do HW relic : welcome to the dark dimension

[modest igloo]

HW isn't that bad, just it sucks if you want it fast

but relics are meant to be grindy

[quaint brook]

I'd appreciate a discount on the amount of poetics they make me gather up

[modest igloo]

iirc its still 17k poetics for an anima weapon

more if you don't min max the other options

[modern horizon]

leveling paladin and know the quickest way is to spam highest dungeon, but should I still do duty roulettes? Specifically is it beneficial to do leveling roulette once per day or should I just stick with the highest dungeon I can do.

[faint flare]

Yes

[whole wasp]

yes do roulette

[quaint brook]

Clear all ur roulettes everyday for max xp

After that's done spam the dungys

Don't forget XP gear if u have that

[modern horizon]

perfect, thanks

[leaden ginkgo]

uhh where do you get crafting recipe for one star difficulity (level 50)

[modest igloo]

eh i do Lvling PVP and maybe alliance raid, then highesy lvl dungeon

[whole wasp]

master recipe 1 books, get them from vendor in mor donuts

[quaint brook]

U gotta do that the old fashion way@leaden ginkgo , craft a certain item then hand it in

[modest igloo]

other roulettes dont give more for xp and time invested

[whole wasp]

guy's name is something like friend of the land and hand

[leaden ginkgo]

Is that the one that need to exchange collectable?

Scrip ones?

[quaint brook]

No

[leaden ginkgo]

Uhh what then

[whole wasp]

nono. hes in a tent inside the marketplace

[leaden ginkgo]

What is the price

[quaint brook]

The old man and roe to the left by the mender in the market area

[quaint brook]

[leaden ginkgo]

I see

[unreal token]

Hi, all. I'm just getting back into the game after having taken a huge break due to work as my fiance wants me to join. I've done the story/job skips to get close to her level and was wondering if anyone has any advice for astrologian hotbar setup. I have my white mage done and am working on dragoon, but the astrologian isn't clicking as much in terms of speel rotation and hotbar setup. Sorry if this sounds silly and thanks in advance

[whole wasp]

you can try #protips-and-ui

are you on kbnm or controller?

[green grail]

whm and ast have a lot of (basically) the same spells, so most of your keybinds should also be similar

like cure = benefic, medica = helios

[unreal token]

So it's basically just renames of the same-ish affect? I'ma go through my stuff and try and "line up" my bars then

[green grail]

not all of it, but most gcd spells yeah

[runic prawn]

Is there. Linkshell or discord for clearing old ex primals?

[quick sage]

Hey guys for trade mentor

Do I have to turn in collectibles?

For the gather/catch requirement

[whole wasp]

no, you just have to make/gather them

[quick sage]

Okay, thank you

[modest igloo]

party finder works just fine for unsynching them

[whole wasp]

you can try looking in #resources

although not specifically for old ex primals, there are some doing old fights at minilvl for fun

or look for your world server and ask them for help

[runic prawn]

Idk any mechanics though. Or does it not matter when unsynced?

[leaden ginkgo]

Question, what is brass spoils exchange?

[whole wasp]

if you go unsync, you can usually do it blind

[modest igloo]

for 60 and below as long as you're lvl 80 and ilvl 510 you're be fine

[leaden ginkgo]

I looked up piety3 materia on garlandtools, it says I can get it there.

[whole wasp]

brass spoils was for old diadem iirc

[quaint brook]

That's from the diadem iirc

[green grail]

you can get from free company airship too? maybe? basically the either removed or the hardest possible way of getting a materia3 lol

[leaden ginkgo]

So materia3 is unobtainable except via grinding or the marketboard

[green grail]

it's extracted from some low level gear, kinda rng yeah

[quaint brook]

Up

Gear has to be 100%spiritbond

Then u can get a random materia based on the gear lvl

[green grail]

it has quite niche uses so also equally few sources

[leaden ginkgo]

Which gear level drps lvl3 materia?

[young fjord]

Have square ever said anything on the RTM in party finder?

[leaden ginkgo]

Last question, whats the fastest way to fully spiritbound gear?

[quaint brook]

I wanna say lvl40 to 50 range?

[green grail]

ilvl 45-70, judging by the tooltip

[leaden ginkgo]

@quaint brook @green grail Thank you

[quaint brook]

Kill things, alot of things

[green grail]

why are you looking to grind it in the first place? it's pretty cheap on mb, 6k gil for 31 of them on my server

[faint flare]

Trial

[quaint brook]

They r on free trial

[green grail]

oh rip

[leaden ginkgo]

Im a free trial player in a third world countrt. Even on discount, the expansions + subsiption is bloody costly.

Still saving up for them.

[open coral]

You mean RMT? RMT in general is against TOS, and bannable. If it gets reported, the offenders are likely dealt with in the regular ban waves.

[green grail]

https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Crazy_about_Crystals this quest gives one too apparently

[leaden ginkgo]

Already did that one, took the Megapotion :(

[verbal swallow]

The Sale from SE ends June 9, does anyone know what time in the US?

[onyx kiln]

how do you get a firecrest item? i know it is related to the PotD but have never really done a lot of that

[green grail]

it's the reward for clearing floor 200

[onyx kiln]

is that doable solo?

[leaden ginkgo]

in what i can spend grand company seals after promotions?

[green grail]

with 100-200 being the challenge floors for fixed parties only, with many mobs that can oneshot you, and a wipe means start over from 50

[green grail]

it's doable but extremely hard and takes ages, basically a one-man ultimate difficulty dungeon

[honest anvil]

solo floor 100+ is a tough lifestyle

[green grail]

you need to know how to handle every single mob, which ones are gonna end your run right as they spot you, know all the boss mechanics etc plus pump out enough selfhealing to survive

[green grail]

glamour prisms or other stuff to sell on MB, check what sells well and play the marketboard

[graceful jetty]

any way to sell with one click (maybe + 1 key?) ? I want to sell all the equipment I do not use

[honest anvil]

also cordial, or the anima weapon stuff

[leaden ginkgo]

ty, any market close to new gridania?

[patent citrus]

can i buy diamond dragon with totem now?

[faint flare]

No

[patent citrus]

ty ty

[green grail]

right of the leatherworker guild aethernet

[green grail]

no, right click item, left click sell, 2 clicks in the same spot so close enough

[graceful jetty]

I am at a Market Board. What Food should I buy for leveling buff (I play a healer) ?

[crystal bluff]

Go to a culinarian vendor npc
Buy the cheapest food they have

[twilit arch]

just go buy some cheap food like boiled egg from the npc vendor

[green grail]

it's all +3% exp, the secondaries don't matter

[fading aurora]

Secondaries probably only matter late game

[graceful jetty]

Ah thanks, I did not know there was such a vendor 🙂

[fading aurora]

When u need crit buff etc

[humble epoch]

how do i unlock edens promise resurrection savage mode?

[vapid spoke]

How do you guys feel about character Lv boosts ?

[quaint brook]

Nice for alts, but damn expensive

[whole wasp]

in amh areang after clearing normal mode

[crystal bluff]

As long as you aren't boosting your first job, I dont see a problem

[humble epoch]

Do you know the name of it?

[jade quartz]

As long as you have basic desire to play well and learn your class after boosting it

who cares

ain't anyone else's business

[quaint brook]

Agreed

[whole wasp]

i dont think the quest has a name. you just talk to Lewrey in Amh Arang

[humble epoch]

he has nothing for me

want to make a group for it but i can't choose it

[green grail]

it's not a high end duty anymore

[humble epoch]

oh

[green grail]

it's in raids 2

[humble epoch]

oooh

so sorry smugbase

[whole wasp]

no worries

glad you found it

[humble epoch]

i assume not many do it anymore?

resurrection that is

[modest igloo]

since the loot is ilvl 470 not so much

only really done by TEA players looking to grab some more substats

[young fjord]

Is the 515 weapon from 15DM runs?

[patent citrus]

yeah

[modest igloo]

yes, you'll need to get 15 timeworn artifacts

PotD is faster if you have a group

if not, time to suffer!

[patent citrus]

do it often enough, it will feel like running praetorium

turn on your series on 2nd monitor and enjoy 😂

[karmic cove]

any alternatives to this?

[green grail]

uh well there's a lot of gloves and pants, if you're missing pieces for a glam then look through other pieces available to you and get what you like as replacement

there's no items with the same model, since it's a seasonal event into a cash shop exclusive

[karmic cove]

ah, that helps ^^ thanks!

[inland zenith]

How much of a difficulty increase it is to go from healing in dungeons to healing in normal and alliance raids?

I'm familiar with raids as DPS only

[whole wasp]

honestly i think its easier in alliance

5 other healers to keep people alive

normal raid wise can be a little more hectic but you still got the safety net of having a cohealer

[robust ibex]

Alliance healing isn’t something to be afraid of.

Im a pretty new healer (although I do main it) and while it’s intimidating from a numbers standpoint, you aren’t healing alone or handling the alliance alone.

[inland zenith]

Those are great points which I did not consider. I got afraid of those contents, cause there's more people involved. Mistakes seemed heavier.

[faint flare]

You can literally just throw bodies at the boss in 24mans

And clear

[whole wasp]

nah, its lighter in alliance for sure. you can keep dying until you clear

[inland zenith]

thanks for the comments, I was anxious about trying these content. I'm a little relieved now.

haha

[whole wasp]

NP. goodluck

lemme give you some advice

[inland zenith]

Thanks!

[faint flare]

Plus it's not like 24mans or 8mans really do any damage

[whole wasp]

take care of your party first in alliance

[inland zenith]

I'd love to hear them

[faint flare]

Just slap some off globals and youre full healed

[whole wasp]

dont get overwhelmed trying to heal everybody

thats their healer's job

only heal the others if you are free and their healers need help

[robust ibex]

I’m super intimidated by this content as well so I understand 100% xD I make my friend hold my hands and have never queued alone. (Not the first run anyways)

[whole wasp]

also alot of your AoE heal spells only work on your own party

so be mindful of that

[faint flare]

And the usual people don't need to be topped

Let any regens do their work

[inland zenith]

I get it. lol

[inland zenith]

good to know

[leaden ginkgo]

Except WoD
Prepare your quick cast to rez people that fail mechanic ,-,

[whole wasp]

Oh and lookout for the main tank. Sometimes the healers in the main tanks party derps out.

You can help a little

[inland zenith]

I usually can't rest if I see the arrow showing the hp is not full. Even if it's just a bit of damage.

[primal ermine]

Don't let people's death get you down as well, some players are attracted to aoes that or new to the instance

[robust ibex]

^ that

[faint flare]

Overhealing is just a massive waste of time and mana

[inland zenith]

alright, I developed some awareness cause I used RDM as way of transitioning to heels. hehe

[whole wasp]

:+1:

[robust ibex]

I’m slowly learning Sam and love pvp!

[inland zenith]

I'll keep in mind, being a healer feels like a huge burden of responsibility, dps have to kill fast, healers have to keep people alive. It is so different.

[faint flare]

It's not only the healers job to keep people alive

[robust ibex]

Nah fam, if they die they die! XD and this is coming from a whm main

[inland zenith]

haha

[primal ermine]

Healers job is to do dps as much as they can

[faint flare]

It's people only responsiblity to not be braindead as shit

[robust ibex]

Shit happens lol

[faint flare]

And take avoidable damage

You heal unavoidable damage

You don't help stupid

[inland zenith]

ooh, that's something too.

[robust ibex]

Only when you want too, and some players are new and don’t know, some are just dumb, like my wife xD they know what happens if they run off and I’m not there lol

[faint flare]

If people constantly take avoidable damage then they're gonna die

[robust ibex]

^ sometimes.

[inland zenith]

totally, healers usually run in the backstage. haha

[robust ibex]

As a healer prioritize who you feel is important (like the tank) everyone else is cannon fodder

[primal ermine]

A dead boss can't hurt you.

[faint flare]

Damage is the best healing

[inland zenith]

I guess I got anxious about cause I was leveling in Zadnor, and my first large scale instance was Dalriada, and that was pure chaos.

[faint flare]

There's damage in Dalriada?

[ember trail]

Some dungeons/fights have mechanics that make healing more intense as well.

[inland zenith]

I got to use LB3, what felt awesome, but all the rest was a huge pain.

haha, I guess there were lots of new people there.

Last boss has some nasty tricks.

[faint flare]

It's only diabolic gate

That's it

[untold vine]

When will lancer get an aoe skills ?

[faint flare]

!action doom spike

[zinc orbit]

**Doom Spike** : lvl 40 DRG (2.5 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Delivers an attack with a potency of 170 to all enemies in a straight line before you.

Powered by XIVAPI

[faint flare]

At 40

[modest igloo]

lvl 40 and doesn't keep up disembowl

[untold vine]

Well thats a long way to go. Thank you !

[faint flare]

God I hope they change that in the expansion

[untold vine]

Im still new so i dont really get this. Disembowl is the attack up buff right ?

[faint flare]

Yes

[robust ibex]

My first alliance raid had people yelling at me because my graphics were too high for my system (it was fine before but it can’t handle the number of players in an alliance)

And I was 100% useless xD

Thankfully my wife was my cohealer so they took care of everything and defended me/explained what happened while my computer hypothetically caught fire. (I couldn’t handle all the flashy moves and could barely load any sprites)

Worst things have happened and it’s okay lol

[modest igloo]

correct, always try to keep it up

even during trash pulls

[faint flare]

Dragoon is the only melee job who can't extend their damage buff via aoe

[untold vine]

So what do you mean it doesnt keep up disembowl ?

[modest igloo]

MNK aoe keeps up its dps buff, twin snakes

[faint flare]

Dragoons aoe combo doesn't extend disembowels timer

[inland zenith]

First experiences. lol. I'm queueing solo, so I thought it would be good to at least get some notion of how it feels.

[modest igloo]

DRG's aoe doesnt

[faint flare]

All other melee jobs have aoes which extends their natural damage buff

[modest igloo]

so every 30 secs you have to switch to single target

[whole wasp]

as in dont let the attack up buff go away

[faint flare]

Dragoon has two aoes that extends blood of the dragon for some reason which is massive overkill

[untold vine]

Aaahh alright alright. Im sorry for the dumb questions, so i just need to make sure the disembowl buff is always up

Thanks a bunch ! I always try to keep it up when in a fight

[abstract bluff]

what is an alliance raid?

[tacit terrace]

if i do a challenge log entry with one job, do all the other ones get passive exp from it

that i have unlocked?

[faint flare]

24man dungeons basically

[faint flare]

No

[tacit terrace]

Thank you. You are always answering questions here, you're awesome!

[modest igloo]

DRG's damage is all about managing several different buffs to make it's attacks hit hard, but thankfully later on you get skills and traits that make it easier

[open current]

the garlean syntehtic fabric, for that one quest in gangos: can it drop from zadnor or only southern front

[faint flare]

It can yes

[open current]

ty!!!

[modest sorrel]

can anyone link me to a video of the cutscene that plays when you hand in the final quest in arr in ||the waking sands after the post credits cinematic||

[open current]

the "just hit lvl 50" quest or the post patch quest

those are different

[modest sorrel]

the very end of ||the ultimate weapon||

pre patch

[open current]

have you done the quest? you might be able to, in game

[modest sorrel]

yes i have

[manic rune]

you can view cutscenes in the inn

[open current]

go to an inn room, use the journal

[modest sorrel]

but the unending journey only shows up through ||the post credits scene where the ascians are doing shit||

not the part after that where you go back to ||vesper bay to see minfilia||

[manic rune]

if it's an actual cutscene, it'll be there

[modest sorrel]

it is not there

i get that it's probably just like, a little bit of dialogue kind of summing up the situation going into the patches

but i cannot for my life find it anywhere

skipped it by mistake when i got there

[empty kestrel]

Does the game have its weekly maintenance on Tuesday or Wednesday?

[manic rune]

there isn't weekly maintenance

maintenance happens irregularly when there's issues that need fixing urgently so we can't predict them
