[naive nexus]

how long will that sale be out for?

[whole wasp]

also, steam version does get discounts just not right now

[whole wasp]

until June 9th

[naive nexus]

danm and im assuming thats on the whole game until shadow bringer

I want to finish the trial first but i dont think you can keep doing the trial if you buy it right?

[whole wasp]

nope, once you buy. you can never go back to trail

you can buy the game but dont use the code

[fathom crescent]

Long time lurker but I've googled this myself and cant find it for some reason? That or my Google is just not being very nice about it.
But as of recent, I used to have Expert Roulette Unlocked (Had Matoya's Relict Unlocked) But a couple days later a patch came out or something and my Expert Dungeons were locked again with "Requires Following: ?????" Anyone know what that one might be?

I have the Weapons all complete

[calm walrus]

the dungeon from 5.5

[untold moth]

There was a new dungeon released in 5.5

[whole wasp]

Current expert dungeons are:
Paglth'an
Matoya's Relict

you must have both unlocked to do expert

[little swift]

expert is typically the most recent 2 lv80 dungeons

any other older ones are moved to lv80 dungeons

[fathom crescent]

Paglth'an, Got it then, I'll definitely do a bit more of my Main Story and see if I cant get that one unlocked now (If it's similar to unlocking of Matoya)

[untold moth]

Yeah, you unlock it through MSQ

[little swift]

you need to have them both completed to do expert roulette

[fathom crescent]

Awesome then! Thanks for the help, Google did nothing to contribute

[whole wasp]

anyway, you can buy starter edition on sale now but dont input the code until you are ready or until endwalker launchs so you dont have to buy the expansion twice but that means you wont have access to stormblood onwards until novemeber.

[sage mirage]

Googling stuff about the game isn't very helpful in my experience since everything's outdated

[naive nexus]

oh wow thats cool

then i need to make sure to never lose that code

[fathom crescent]

Exactly my problem , I'm not the only one

[whole wasp]

you can buy the complete edition on sale now but you have to buy the endwalker expansion again in the future. this unlocks stormblood content earlier but you spend another 30-ish USD

[naive nexus]

or else i will really cry

[whole wasp]

it should come in your email iirc

just flag it and dont delete it

[naive nexus]

neat

thanks for the life hack

[random girder]

copy into a private discord maybe thats what i do

[sage mirage]

I'm not sure if the complete edition is gonna go on sale soon after the endwalker release

[untold moth]

wait, what code?

[random girder]

keep a ton of stuff in there

[untold moth]

Like, your pre-order code?

Oh wait nvm

[whole wasp]

nono, they are buying starter edition

or planning to

[whole wasp]

the last time a sale happened after an expansion launched was about a year

shadowbringers complete edition went on sale about a year after its official launch

iirc

[versed bison]

what tincture is used for a ninja when using the opening ?

[whole wasp]

dexterity

[humble arch]

can somebody help me and a friend be in the same party? we on trial, just starting.

[sage mirage]

Right, so waiting for the endwalker complete edition to save money isn't really viable compared to a 60% off sale right now

[whole wasp]

unfortunately the 60% for complete right now does not include endwalker

so you have to spend another 40USD in the future to play endwalker

[untold moth]

Right click your friend, then click "Invite To Party"

[sage mirage]

Also, the free trial has pretty much everything the starter edition has without spending $20

[untold moth]

Then your friend will need to accept the invite.

[whole wasp]

whereas if you just buy complete edition in the future, you get everything

[whole wasp]

free trial cannot invite into party

[untold moth]

WHAT?

bruh

[whole wasp]

they need another player to invite them into their party

[untold moth]

genuinely did not know that

[whole wasp]

Its because of those damn bots

[patent saddle]

Can someone help me do ex primals unsynced? I’ll use your recruit a friend code I j want to farm kirin before I sub

[whole wasp]

almost every restriction in free trial is because of bots

[sage mirage]

free trial has no FCs, no parties, and no market board

[untold moth]

That's so awful

[whole wasp]

no whispers/DM either

[untold moth]

did that change recently?

[whole wasp]

cannot /shout either iirc

no, it has always been this way

[sage mirage]

To prevent chat spam bots, makes sense

It was awkward when someone DMed me and I couldn't respond though

[whole wasp]

the only change was increasing the level cap from 30 to 60 and including access to HW

[untold moth]

i don't remember being that limited when i was on my free trial, but that was forever ago

[whole wasp]

yea unfortunate but if you can find them to ask them to add you to party, you can have a private chat

[atomic dock]

is it worth spending time getting the shadowbringers relic weapons? (returning player)

[untold moth]

Yes

The SHB relics are currently the highest ilvl in game. *if you're not savage raiding

[whole wasp]

its should eventually be the best weapons just before EW launches

[untold moth]

It's a massive grind, but that extra DPS is noice

[whole wasp]

but be warned, it will be a grind

[sage mirage]

Is there a point to keeping a relic weapon if I have a better weapon?

[whole wasp]

only for the looks

almost all the relic weapons glow

[untold moth]

If it's current tier, yes.

Otherwise it's just glam

[patent saddle]

Is a relic reborn needed to unlock other relic quests?

[random girder]

no

[untold moth]

No, you can ignore it unless you want the ARR relics.

[whole wasp]

no. none of the relics between expansions are related

[patent saddle]

Hehe lol i am now bsm 60

[whole wasp]

only exception is pinnacle ARR relic lets you skip one step for HW relic

nice

[atomic dock]

I'm a WHM so I was considering getting it but yes it does seem like a grind haha.

[whole wasp]

the other alternative is to get raid weapons

[patent saddle]

I farmed squadron and bsm to get arr relics war is first

[untold moth]

It's a massive grind but I managed to grind out 2 weapons so far, and am working on my 3rd, only playing a few hours a day

[whole wasp]

if you are a raider, you can get as good as weapons from doing savage. else relics are for mortals like us

[untold moth]

But then again, I've been doing most of my grinding with my FC, so it's been easy to find people

[atomic dock]

is there a guide for the SHB relics out currently?

[untold moth]

Like, what they look like, or how to get them?

[atomic dock]

how to get them!

[untold moth]

I believe so, but it's pretty easy sicne it's the same thing for all the different weapons.

[untold moth]

[atomic dock]

tysm 🙂

[gusty island]

I've read that regardless of starter area, the MSQs will eventually send you to the same dungeon and the stories connect.
What level story quest is that?

[untold moth]

Is what, the relic weapon quests?

[random girder]

level 15 you get to leave your starting citystate

the _ envoy

quest

[white junco]

hey guys i just came back and am only lv 50 paladin only have a Ilv of 80. what should i do to get better gear so i can continue my main quest

im out of my element right now

[sage mirage]

If you have tomestones, use the tomestone vendor to get ironworks gear

[whole wasp]

grab some poetics and get ironworks magitek gear from mor donuts

its the best lvl 50 gear and dirt cheap

[untold moth]

If you have no tomes, I would just buy some stuff off the MB Or have someone craft you something.

[whole wasp]

it should carry you until 55-ish

[random girder]

also just. do your job quests

it gives you gear

at 50

[gusty island]

That's where I'm at now, so this dungeon shouldn't be too far off now, right?

[random girder]

yes the dungeon is also 15

[gusty island]

Is it the call of the sea thing?

[random girder]

yep

[whole wasp]

yup

[gusty island]

Ah perfect

[white junco]

yea i dont have any tomes only 70

[gusty island]

Time to wait for my friend who accidentally started somewhere else 😆

[random girder]

do your job quests then. the 50 one gives you a coffer with 110 gear i think

[untold moth]

Yeah, just buy some stuff from the MB if you can afford it or have a friends craft you something/join a FC.

Oh yeah, job quest does give you gear too

[white junco]

ok thanks man ill look into it

[untold moth]

Always forget about that

[calm walrus]

job quests only give you ilvl90 gear i think

[random girder]

job quests are higher priority than msq

[calm walrus]

msq gives you 110

[random girder]

job quests give you 90 and a 110 coffer

use the 110

[sage mirage]

ilvl90 will be enough to progress through the MSQ

[random girder]

^

[white junco]

yes i need a ilv of 90 for the MSQ

[calm walrus]

also if he finished his job quests before the rework he can't get 'em anymore

[fading helm]

did anyone find out a way to get 80 pts yet for fashion report lol

[sage mirage]

If you have tomestones, get ironworks gear. If not, job quests. Those are your best options atm

[white junco]

ok ill look into my job Q

thanks guys much needed help

[random girder]

you should be doing those anyway

they give you skills

[halcyon light]

quick question how do i download the game?

[random girder]

!faq freetrial

[zinc orbit]

Free Trial Limitations

Limitation details
Download

[calm walrus]

in case job quests are out of the question, there's also the market board, you can buy i115 gear

[halcyon light]

no i mean the full game

[void cargo]

do you need to be in one of the major cities to apply dresser glamour outside of an inn room?

[halcyon light]

i bought it and it wont let me activate it

[whole wasp]

yes

[random girder]

which version did you buy.

[halcyon light]

nor upgrade my account

[random girder]

steam or non steam

[halcyon light]

complete version

non steam

[sage mirage]

Use the code you got on mogstation

[random girder]

^

[halcyon light]

it said it wont activate cause my account isnt on the same region and i cant change it

[sage mirage]

Weird. I'd say either contact support or make a new account and use the code.

[halcyon light]

yeah ill just make a new one since i got no other options

[calm walrus]

sounds like region issues

[halcyon light]

also on the instructions it gave me a download link to the launcher but it wont work either

[sage mirage]

if you have free trial progress you want to keep, then support is your best bet probably

[whole wasp]

https://www.finalfantasyxiv.com/playersdownload/na/

is the link for the full game launcher

[calm walrus]

maybe you bought an EU code while your trial account is US? (or vice versa)

[halcyon light]

yup vice versa

[upper flame]

hello, i have reached lv60 miner and wanted to get an upgrade -- but wonder if i should buy this or something else better

[whole wasp]

if your code and region dont match, your code is worthless to you. you can try exchanging it with someone else who bought the correct code but its a long shot

[whole wasp]

you can always level to 61 and get it straight from vendors. there are very little choices for lvl 60 gear

[halcyon light]

yeah but my account its on eu for some reason but i dont mind making a new one

[whole wasp]

ah, then go ahead

[upper flame]

oh no sorry, i forgot to mention i am on free trial

qwq

[calm walrus]

if you can farm for scrips, you can exchange those for better gear, i think

[whole wasp]

ah then theres not much choice. it should be good enough. if you dont mind spending a little more, gear is alot better

[fading helm]

ok cool i got 80 pts with the tafetta showl

[upper flame]

owo so this is the best i can get vendor wise?

[fading helm]

does anyone wanna buy it off me now since i dont need it LOL

so i can recoup some of my gil im broke

[whole wasp]

yea. but scrip gear is a good choice too

[calm walrus]

ps : fashion report binds the gear you use to you so you can't resell it

[whole wasp]

^

[fading helm]

cant trade either?

[upper flame]

scrip gear, is that via diadem vendors? or diadem crafting?

i leveled up my miners in diadem \qwq\

[whole wasp]

its from using gatherer's scrip in idyllshire

as in the vendor is in idyllshire

you get scrip from turning in collectables to the appraiser from rowena's house of splendor

[sage mirage]

!faq scrips

[whole wasp]

you have unlocked collectables right?

[zinc orbit]

Error!

No tag named scrips exists, Kupo!

[calm walrus]

nope

[upper flame]

ohhh a friend of mine suggested that before

is the NPC called geimlona?

[sage mirage]

What do I do to start getting collectibles?

[whole wasp]

yea. geimlona gives the quest to unlock collectables in HW iirc

[upper flame]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/843826301538140170/850400910688387112/unknown.png

[upper flame]

thank you, saving it

aaaaaa so many things to do

[calm walrus]

that's a good thing

[sage mirage]

ty

[upper flame]

you're a good thing

[worthy basin]

is nightbloom an aoe dot?

[calm walrus]

yes

[worthy basin]

oooooh thats cool

thank you

[calm walrus]

but it can and will be overwritten by your other dots (siren's and the loch monster thing)

[whole wasp]

yea 60 second dot like sam's higabanana

[calm walrus]

so you'll want to use those after nightbloom's dot expires

[worthy basin]

so i guess i need to get the 2 other dots you mentioned

[tawdry citrus]

i've recently hit CUL 62 and curious as to what they sell to make money? what makes them profitable

[whole wasp]

should get song of torment at the very least from pharous sirius. its useful.

[calm walrus]

there's not much demand for low level foods, unfortunately

[whole wasp]

food for raiding but its a very saturated market so expect marginal profits. also only for lvl 80

at low levels, you really have to research your server's marketboards

[sage mirage]

I've made a few thousand selling food required for the cooking job quests

[calm walrus]

other crafters can still make tiny profits from intermediate mats and/or leveling gears

oh right

quest items

[whole wasp]

quest items are not bad

[calm walrus]

only works until... HW quests i think?

[whole wasp]

yea but the HW items are notoriously annoying to get

because they need master recipes and timed nodes

[sage mirage]

Why does it not work in HW?

[calm walrus]

SB onward requires you to make your own quest items

[whole wasp]

it only works until HW

[sage mirage]

Ah

I just got to HW today

[whole wasp]

people who are rich and impatient will prob buy the quest items yup

[little swift]

Levequest items too i suppose

[calm walrus]

that too

[little swift]

Levekits are pretty big

Or were

[whole wasp]

i guess but restoration exists. i see less levekits nowadays

[little swift]

Before ishgard restoration

People don't realize how much more exp leves give

Ishgard is more convenient though

[sage mirage]

So what's the strategy for levequests? I tried one and it didn't seem to give me much xp. Is there a specific one I should be doing?

[little swift]

Not for combat jobs

They suck for combats

[tawdry citrus]

yeah i've leveled mostly through restoration, didn't know there was DoH/L levequests

[calm walrus]

they suck so much they removed DoW/M leves from SB onwards!

[little swift]

And typically you go for the ones where you can submit 3 items per leve

At high quality to get double exp 3 times

[whole wasp]

there is also the massive HW levequests

you can jump from lvl 59 to 61 in one shot

[sage mirage]

So do I just try to find the highest level levequest NPC I can do and do their levequests?

[little swift]

Large scale leves typically less worth because they cost 10x thr allowances for only like 3x the exp

[whole wasp]

yea, for DoH/DoL

[calm walrus]

that's usually the general idea

[sage mirage]

gotcha

[tawdry citrus]

so it sounds like i should go do those then

[sage mirage]

I'm stalled on DoH progress rn bc I need beast tribe materials to make the next things

[whole wasp]

just marketboard them... oh

[sage mirage]

I heard they're expensive on the marketboard

[whole wasp]

i guess but gil is for spending

[sage mirage]

no, gil is for hoarding

[whole wasp]

[calm walrus]

i mean you can hoard more if you spend 'em first to level up ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[keen aurora]

how do i find an active fc

i looked in the recruitment channel nothing for sargatanas

[random girder]

/shout in limsa

or any other city

[dire prawn]

By going to Limsa and using /shout to ask for a fc

[random girder]

i found my fc by just walking around in kugane when i got there in msq

[calm walrus]

many ways

[random girder]

they adopted me

[calm walrus]

you can use lodestone, or subreddit

[keen aurora]

someone adopted me but they never talk lol

[calm walrus]

ingame you can go to limsa, or

[dire prawn]

Or since you're on Sarg I can invite you to mine

[sage mirage]

is /shout just louder /yell?

[cyan kelp]

Shout is for the map

[calm walrus]

wider yell

[keen aurora]

lets do it let me leave my old one

[cyan kelp]

Yell is for a large area around you

[dire prawn]

I'll get you tomorrow I'm on a plane rn

[calm walrus]

maybe take a walk around housing areas, see which fcs are active

[keen aurora]

ok

yeah i guess ill leave this one and see what happens

[cyan kelp]

Tsuya is a lovely person

You're in good hands ^^

[whole wasp]

/shout is map wide. /yell is local area. I have no idea how big.

[sage mirage]

kk, ty

[versed bison]

so gshade is only used when taking photos using gpose ?

[runic sage]

hey guys, i need to find a way to level up my 2nd job from 25 (current lvl) to 57 (msq lvl), ive been in queue for potd for 80 minutes but its not popping up so i need something else

[sage mirage]

Maybe try the leveling roulette?

[cyan kelp]

What job is it?

[patent citrus]

enable all duty finder language and queue highest dungeon and all roulettes (once a day)

[cyan kelp]

Actually it doesn't really matter, you can probably do palace solo

Takes a little longer, but at least you won't have to wait

[runic sage]

the only roulette i can do is leveling, already did that

you mean like going in without a party? lol

[cyan kelp]

Yeah

Other than that, you're only other option is dungeon spamming

[patent citrus]

weird

[tropic nymph]

Hey everyone, so me and my girlfriend got this game together and we kept hearing about theres a point in where we acutally meet up. were both around level 19-20. So what in particular is the like zone where we meet up

[patent citrus]

lv 57 msq level but havent unlocked msq and trial roulette?

that's sus

[calm walrus]

there's always the old school 'doing fates while you wait for your dungeon queue to pop'

[slim mango]

anyone have the latest Ishgard restoration EXP calculator?

[runic sage]

this is my 2nd job

[little swift]

how far are you into the main story, its roughly lv15 in the main story

!faq icons

[zinc orbit]

What do all these quest icons mean?

- These are how you reach the endgame and every other bit of content is locked behind it to some extent. MANDATORY
- These unlock a feature, instanced content, job actions, or a thing that is important for you to have. Do the ones related to your job/class and ones that unlock new content
- These usually have very little exp/gil as reward and are usually just part of the world/lore expansion. Mostly optional unless you are interested in doing them for the fluff
- These are quests you can do more than once, how often you can repeat it is up to the individual quest.

[patent citrus]

oh true sorry

[sage mirage]

MSQ level 15 is when you get access to all cities

[little swift]

the first icon

[patent citrus]

you aren't lv 50 yet

[runic sage]

alright ill try to do potd alone

[little swift]

your job level means realatively little

[runic sage]

thanks for the help guys, have a nice day

[little swift]

its the msq level that matters

[tropic nymph]

I just got La Noscea, she hasn't gotten the airship yet. We have this xp buff for being below level 70. I read the thing about level 15 but i dont know if im done with the main storey

[obsidian patio]

The story is a constant thing

It goes all the way to 80

[little swift]

open up your quest journal and you can see what level your main story level is

is that icon

msq sort of doesn't end, it just is split into chapters and arcs

[tropic nymph]

Ahh okay, yeah i still following those quest the quest level is 15

[earnest garnet]

soon

https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Main_Scenario_Quests#Levels_15-20

[sage mirage]

The quest that brings you to other cities is at level 15, yes

[earnest garnet]

starting from here is where you 2 can meet

and quest together

[tropic nymph]

Yeah I just finish that quest, alruight just gotta wait up then

Thanks everyone!

[jade willow]

what's the most important materia for warrior?

[cyan kelp]

Crit

Actually it depends are we talking endgame?

[jade willow]

i'm just about to finish heavensward so i guess not

[cyan kelp]

Oh materia doesn't really matter then

I wouldn't waste time on melding

You're going to be changing gear often anyway

[jade willow]

yeah just trying to choose quest rewards

dont matter?

[cyan kelp]

Not really

[quaint brook]

Whatever sells decent I'd say

Teleport change at the least lol

[cyan kelp]

I normally sell materia to a vendor

I'm lazy like that lol

[quaint brook]

Yea cuz mb would usually be lower than vendor price

On those smaller materias

[cyan kelp]

More to do with I don't need the gil, and effort to put them up to sell

You could save that materia and use it to make new materia though I don't use that, so I'm not sure if it's worth keeping low level materia

[leaden ginkgo]

Samurai Enpi any good?

[whole wasp]

No. you shouldn't use it unless you got no choice

[jade quartz]

Yaten + Enpi is a filler GCD option

But usually there's a better choice.

[ebon needle]

👀

[dire prawn]

I almost forgot this ability existed

I straight up don't have Enpi on my hotbar

[ebon needle]

So like. Umm I havent played since 2014 or so during ARR

Making a new character because I forgot absolutely everything. Any suggestions on class?

Previously had a level 38 white mage

[calm walrus]

people would usually say whichever looks the coolest to you

or if you have any preferred playstyle, follow it

[ebon needle]

Yeah fair.

I used to play a lot of Tera. I ran basically every character type. Lol

[calm walrus]

at least in 14 any jobs are viable endgame, so you really shouldn't have any problem there

[leaden ginkgo]

I started with arcane since it unlocks 2 jobs that shares exp, which is scholar and summoner.

[barren granite]

hmm it says my retainer reached max lvl. How do push him further ? better gear ?

[whole wasp]

your retainer cannot out lvl you

[celest coral]

Ok, so about rested XP. Just wanted to make sure I got it right. If I log out in a sanctuary, I'll get the booster when I log back in?

[barren granite]

im lv 57 it is lv 6 🙂

oh job wise

got it

[whole wasp]

yup

[whole wasp]

yes

anywhere theres a moon icon on your exp bar

[celest coral]

Ah yeah

[whole wasp]

your bonus exp is the blue shaded portion

it maxes out at around 1 and a half levels

[celest coral]

Ah

Seeing how imma probably play again in 12 hours, it'll def be a fraction of that. Wiki saying it takes 4 days to get 1.5

Good to know

[whole wasp]

its nice to have but its not super important

[ebon needle]

Are there race factors in ff14?

[whole wasp]

no. every race is viable

[ebon needle]

Tera had slight ones. Realistically it didn't make a difference among most players. But at maxed out content is did sometimes help certain classes with radials.

Alright cool

[whole wasp]

let me give you an example

[leaden ginkgo]

There's nothing like racial bonuses

[whole wasp]

the difference in stats is between 3 to 10 points

and lvl 80 current content. you have around 4000 points of stats

the difference is so minor, you cant tell without reverse engineering the damage formula

your normal crit variance has a larger effect than your race

[untold vine]

I have a question for people using controller,

[ebon needle]

Nice. Thanks

[plain python]

https://i.imgur.com/b0dvYcx.jpeg this white things appear everywhere and in many cutscenes. Anything I can do to remove it?

[whole wasp]

NP. pick whatever you like

[fiery ginkgo]

before I lose sprout status... (finally in Shadowbringers)
Is there a way to regain sprout icon

[whole wasp]

no

you can at most get

[untold vine]

I just got my dragoon job and there's ALOT of skills and im not sure i can fit them all to my hotbar. I will need to use the R2+L2/L2+R2 hotbar. But the thing is, since i cant see them, i wont know when a skill is finished cooldown. How do you guys track them ?

[whole wasp]

but you get that for not logging in a month at least

[obsidian patio]

Sounds like a bug, I’ve never seen it before.

[obsidian patio]

Most controller players that I see, including me, put a PC hotbar below the crossbar and place the skills on there for easy tracking.

[whole wasp]

you can rejoin the novice network as a mentor if thats what you are concerned about but as for the icon itself, theres no way to get it back

[obsidian patio]

out of my 30 some duties only twice did I get to play summoner XD

[calm walrus]

that's where dummies come to play

[whole wasp]

its fine. you'll learn.

[untold vine]

Uhm i dont quite get it but, how would you click on a skill on a .. pc hotbar ? Im sorry for asking this

[whole wasp]

you dont have to do amazing, just adequate

[whole wasp]

the pc hotbar is just for you to see your skills cooling down. you use your normal hotabr

[obsidian patio]

You don’t, it’s simply there for watching it

[fiery ginkgo]

Usually Im choosing between remembering my rotation midfight and understanding the mechanics :^)

[whole wasp]

yea, thats pretty normal for a DPS job. when in doubt, do mechanics first

0 dps when you are dead

[fiery ginkgo]

^sadly true when I prematurely cast ruin IV instead of maximizing damage because "that looks like its gonna hurt if it hits me. Healer plz save me"

[untold vine]

Aahhh i see i see. So you still put them on the R2+L2 hotbar but another hotbar is for seeing the cooldowns ? Then im sorry for asking this but how do you turn those on ?

[whole wasp]

err. i dont use controllers. gotta ask Wynne

Wynne help

[calm walrus]

character config -> hotbars is where you can turn on hotbars and fiddle with their types

[fiery ginkgo]

on the other hand Ive gotten pretty good at SCH and DRK. I think having an okay grasp on all 3 roles will help me.

[calm walrus]

and then you can move them around on hud layout menu

[obsidian patio]

To make placing the skills on the hotbar easy, press L1+R3 to activate “Virtual Mouse” which lets you move the cursor with the right stick and emulate clicking with the triggers

[obsidian patio]

With holding L2 letting you drag an action to the bar

[barren granite]

who has the best slow ?

[jade quartz]

Slow's pretty irrelevant.

[obsidian patio]

Only tanks really have a slow debuff

[barren granite]

really ?

[obsidian patio]

And it only works on trash

[barren granite]

thats odd

[jade quartz]

All tanks share Arm's Length which slows all enemies that hit you, and it's a good defensive cooldown for trash

That's the only application of slow really

[barren granite]

so is useless on boss ?

[jade quartz]

Virtually all bosses are immune to CC effects

[barren granite]

cc ?

[whole wasp]

Crowd Control. so stun blind heavy etc etc

[jade quartz]

Crowd Control i.e. slow, heavy, bind

[barren granite]

ah good to know heh

how bout stats debuffs ?

[jade quartz]

Stuff like Feint and Addle affects everything yeah

and is valuable on endgame bosses

[barren granite]

ok cool

[jade quartz]

not particularly necessary against regular enemies and dungeon bosses but it's free to use so may as well

[ebon needle]

Do patrons help with anything?

[calm walrus]

nah

[ebon needle]

Cool

[calm walrus]

waaaaay back then it used to give you super minor difference in elemental resistances but they patched it out

[ebon needle]

Ahh fair. Thats probably what I remember

I played in ARR a little bit

[drifting atlas]

If i put my Lvl70 job quest weapon in glamour dresser to save it, can i get another one? That i can use for relic quest

[calm walrus]

i think you can buy them off npcs

calamity salvager, i think?

[little swift]

Yes can get them again if they're not in your inventory

Calamity salvager is correct

[echo solar]

Hello! I'm currently playing on the free trial version. If I buy the complete edition from steam then will my progress wipe over?

I haven't downloaded the free trial from steam but from the website itself. So I'm unsure

[flat yew]

farming revelations for my raid gear right now and I'm unsure if I should wait a week for the reset so I can afford the headpiece or just buy something like the belt or jewelry now. Does the order I get pieces matter?

[slim mango]

anyone have a working ishgard leveling calculator?

[honest anvil]

should be chest/ leg pieces first, then whatever pieces with the best 2ndary stats

[flat yew]

those two are edenmorn BiS so I don't think I'd want to get cryptlurker for that slot first

[honest anvil]

remember that aug exarch and nier pieces are decent i520 pieces too

[flat yew]

I'm full aug exarch right now

[honest anvil]

leg is from e11s, chest is e12s

depends on your prog

you might not get them for some time

[flat yew]

ah I see

[honest anvil]

not to mention there’s the luck factor of rolling against other people too

[flat yew]

I'd be running the savage raids mostly with a static so I guess it depends mostly on how the others want to distribute loot

[honest anvil]

also while better gears definitely help, full aug exarch is definitely enough for all dps checks

so dont stress over min max too much

[zinc orbit]

[calm walrus]

yeah, aug crafted gears are usually enough for literally all content (except ultimates)

[flat yew]

I'm not too worried about my damage but the amount I heal haha

had some clutch moments and I was hoping to maybe pad that out a bit

[honest anvil]

just tell your team to dont die

good luck ^^

[calm walrus]

good luck indeed

i always feel progressing savage as a healer is the hardest out of the three

[bold dirge]

Are the parts from Alexander raids somehow important?

[calm walrus]

you can exchange them for loots, which you can use for glamours

[bold dirge]

Oh nice

[calm walrus]

as far as actual stats though, by now you can usually get better stuff elsewhere

[shut panther]

If the rest of your party is doing their jobs, your really shouldn't be feeling healing stress

Unavoidable damage comes on an extremely predictable cadence

Of course, if you're learning a new fight or your party is inting it can be scary

[calm walrus]

if the rest of your party is doing their jobs
that's a big if!

[shut panther]

True, but upgrading your gear also won't help much there either

[calm walrus]

well, yeah

[stable herald]

How many floors of PoTD for ya need to do for Timeworn?

I assume 1 to 50

[shut panther]

It's random chance that increases with higher levels

[stable herald]

OH.

It's not guranteed?

[shut panther]

1-50 is more likely to yield zero than anything.

It's like.. ~10% at 51-60, increasing as you continue to rise

[stable herald]

Excuse my language but holy shit

[tawdry citrus]

Diadem is the best way to lvl gatherers right? i've gotten CUL to 62 by doing it but i just wanna make sure this is most efficient

[shut panther]

Yeah, the timeworn step fucking sucks.

[stable herald]

Does the canon also hit enemy mobs in Zadnor?

[calm walrus]

that's something i always want to try but never could get it right

[lethal cape]

Why do people love Astrologian so much saying it's a really good support/healer, yet so few people play it/there are barely any videos about it on Yt 😮
Even in the Balance Discord there aren't as many resources as there are for any other class in this game O.o
Same with FF logs, it ranks top out of every other healer, but has the fewest number or runs

Is there a reason to that?

[shut panther]

It's arguably the hardest to play

[calm walrus]

it's more complex compared to the other two

[tawdry citrus]

AST is so fun, its my main

[calm walrus]

whm you just heal while weaving in some dps , sch you just mitigate while weaving in some dps

AST you either heal or mitigate while weaving in some dps AND play a card game all by yourself

it's a bit oversimplified, but sometimes it feels like that

[ebon knoll]

where can i find hunt LS for EU?

most hunt LS are dead

need active one

[lethal cape]

It's true it's not as straight forward as just DPSing -> weaving heals/shields, but AST has a lot of tools to help with cards and they seem to be so useful with all those buffs they give out 😮

Draw -> like the card? Play -> don't like the card? Redraw until you like the card -> play -> divination after 3 cards

Is the card system really the only thing drawing people away from this class? O.o

[shut panther]

I mean, it's not really utility these days

Just different color damage buffs

Which is better, don't get me wrong.

[calm walrus]

the cards itself isn't that hard to grasp, but it's still another layer to add to the complexity

[ebon knoll]

anyone from EU alive here

[calm walrus]

and some people just can't handle it (myself included)

[shut panther]

If I were to guess, I suspect making other people do more damage is also less popular than simply doing it yourself.

[tawdry citrus]

AST was the class i finished the game on for the first time so i had lots of time to get used to it luckily

[lethal cape]

Oh I see

[calm walrus]

whenever i play AST it always go something like
draw! -> not that one, redraw -> goddamnit not that one either redraw -> ffs redraw -> oh shit the tank is dead

[tawdry citrus]

sleeve draw OP

[shut panther]

Yes, AST has technically the highest rdps right now, but it does that while doing significantly less personal.

[calm walrus]

i guess i just suck ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[shut panther]

If I'm min maxing, and in a min maxing group, that's fine. If I'm in a DF, kind of sucks to not be white mage most of the time, honestly.

[lethal cape]

I was asking because I love AST and it seems fairly straight forward to me at least, but I was somewhat avoiding it because so few people were playing it I thought there's something wrong with it

lol

Ty for the answers though ^^

[tawdry citrus]

heck no, play that AST

[calm walrus]

nah, if you love the job you just go with it

your preference trumps all

[leaden ginkgo]

Some classes click easier for some more than others. It applies to other situations too. Just different brains at work

[shut panther]

Things are apt to shake up in endwalker, but there's certainly nothing wrong with AST as is

If it works for your brain then go forth

[versed bison]

So it's not possible to get a garlean mech like armor ?

[stable herald]

is the most efficient levelling for 71 - 80 for dps actually Bozja?

bozja kinda deserted so far. So was wondering about an alternative

[calm walrus]

find someone that will queue dungeons with you as a tank/healer

[stable herald]

I feel bad for putting them through my horrid dps

[versed bison]

Like the armors that Nero, Livia and baeslar wear

[shut panther]

The thing about bozja is it's also multitasking

I'm not sure I'd level there if I didn't want stuff from it

But I'm working on relics

[calm walrus]

that aside, i guess bozja with the occasional daily roulette/beast tribes

[shut panther]

I'm pretty sure Pixie quests are the most efficient exp/time

[calm walrus]

alternatively queue for dungeons as you do other shit

level DoH/L, FATEs, i dunno

[stable herald]

On timeworn stage

is pain

[shut panther]

Queue roulette -> do Pixies in queue

[calm walrus]

or as our lord Yoshi-P would suggest, work out while you wait

[stable herald]

Ya. i suppose. Last class to max

[shut panther]

Yeah, but you can grind DR to level and do timeworn at same time

Don't get me wrong, still nightmarishly boring

[stable herald]

DR has EXP?

[shut panther]

I believe so?

[stable herald]

i thought DR was lvl 80 restricted?

[versed bison]

So it's not possible to get magitek armor in game ?

[calm walrus]

no, not yet at least

[shut panther]

Is it? Fuck there goes my idea.

[stable herald]

THINK so?

[leaden ginkgo]

||You get one at the end of the ARR main quest||

[calm walrus]

i think jay was talking about humanoid armor like gaius's and livia's

[shut panther]

If he is, similar armor is from bozja

[versed bison]

Yeah I meant like similar to ones which Nero and Livia are wearing

[hazy dove]

So are Taffeta Shawls actually that expensive to make or is it just being priced extremely high for the sake of Fashion Report?

[calm walrus]

you'll visit garlemald on 6.0, so maaaybe you'll get some there but it's just a guess

oh right there's the law's order armors from Bozja

[leaden ginkgo]

Ah, yeah that. I see magitek armor, I go right for the term in FF6

[versed bison]

Oh yeah, garlemand is coming in 6.0

I hope we get some badass armor stuff

[shut panther]

Taffeta cloth is a little rare

Enough that fashion report demand could definitely spike it

[versed bison]

Even though garleans are as much as pieces of shit

[hazy dove]

ah, i just looked it up, can only get from ventures, okay i guess that makes sense lol

[green fossil]

I'm sorry just a quick question
""Accumulated subscription days" refers to the total number of days subscribed to your service account, rather than actual play time"
Does this mean I have to buy the 60 days subscription for example to get the rewards? Or do I still get it if I buy 30 and then 30 again after it expires?

[shut panther]

The latter

[green fossil]

Great thanks!

[wispy basalt]

[shut panther]

What that sentence is implying is that it's paidservice time, rather than the 30 free

we all been there. DW

[raven silo]

yeah I understand, this is stupid.

[calm walrus]

it is

[leaden ginkgo]

It should be renamed to copper jump rings, like they're called IRL

[calm walrus]

it's been there since ARR, after all these years i wonder why they haven't patched it, i dunno, change either of them

[raven silo]

if it wasnt for the nice ppl in this discord I swear I wouldve uninstalled the game XD

[whole wasp]

i would have called them copper ringlets but its most likely a translation thing

[wet grotto]

are market boards server locked? meaning, im in brynhildr so i only can buy and sell things from brynhildr

[calm walrus]

you can travel to another server and buy stuff there

provided said server is on the same DC, that is

[leaden ginkgo]

Or just lack of knowledge on the subject. Metalworkers/jewelers call them Jump rings for that exact reason

[calm walrus]

you can only however sell things on your home world

[wet grotto]

ah ok

[hazy dove]

how do you know if you can dye your equipment? is there an icon or an indicator?

[calm walrus]

if there's a circle on the top right, that means it's dyeable

otherwise you can't

[hazy dove]

ah sweet, thanks

[calm walrus]

these circles

[leaden ginkgo]

I was just a host for Hades mount farming party, and I don't know why, but I missed the tower thing around 2-3 times, and it was like a nightmare (I set it for 5 clears and we did actually cleared it). I became very cautious, but I panicked and missed several in a row and that's usually not the case. I'm wondering, but what would you do if you miss in a farming party?

[calm walrus]

short answer would be to apologize

[wet grotto]

do y'all have any tips for selling items on the market baord?

[calm walrus]

and try not to miss again

for what's it worth, the towers on hades is surprisingly fast. if you're not confident i really would just recommend you throw all your rotation to the window and just focus on it

with all the gears now the dps check is nonexistant anyway

[leaden ginkgo]

If I'm tank and we wiped because one of us had made a mistake, what should I do? I at first asked the other tank whether he missed it, but it might have been mine. I usually don't make mistakes though

[hazy dove]

jesus christ, a coliseum shawl on a lalafell looks illegal af

[leaden ginkgo]

I usually sprint just to be safe

[gritty oracle]

If it's on Nabriales, could be someone sniped a tank.

[calm walrus]

there's that too

[hazy dove]

So i know gear and stuff changes once you hit 50, there's no wall or anything once i hit 50 is there? I just level through it like normal?

[leaden ginkgo]

If there are only 2 tanks alive, it means that one of us made a mistake right?

[calm walrus]

yep

[quaint brook]

Yea the story will gear u

[calm walrus]

someone didn't get in the circles in time

if someone sniped a tank, the tank would die first

[glossy flare]

Your leveling progress will likely slow down a bit because the patch story quests reward way less xp

[gritty oracle]

DPS have tethers that can't hit the tank, so if a DPS messes up and hits a tank, it's a wipe. So DPS could also be to blame

[glossy flare]

But it's all for lvl 50 anyway

[hazy dove]

oh i'm way higher level than my story atm, i'm just experiencing what this game has to offer atm >.>

[glossy flare]

Once you hit HW things will pick up again

Do get some ironworks gear once you can though

it's pretty much the best gear you can get at lvl 50 and will last you until 55 or so

(msq level 55 that is)

[quaint brook]

The only wall you'd experience is doing crystal tower raids because u need it for shadowbringers

[leaden ginkgo]

If there are only 2 tanks alive at the end, shall I just apologize, even though it might be the other tank's fault? There is 50% chance that it's my fault

[calm walrus]

weeell if you're not sure, i guess? i'd probably just say 'one of us probably missed the towers, sorry'

[tawdry citrus]

or just disregard it, figuring out who's to blame doesn't seem very productive

just hit it with a solid "damn rip"

[quaint brook]

If no1 is complaining just start fresh and move on

[oak ice]

Or don't say anything, a wipe is a wipe

[hazy dove]

So I haven't bought shadowbringers yet, is that gonna limit me in any way?

[tawdry citrus]

not until you get to SHB

[gritty oracle]

You can't unlock gnb or dnc

[quaint brook]

No, only when u have shadowbringers

[hazy dove]

guys talk to me like a child, idk what any of those acronyms are, I'm 5 days in lol

[gritty oracle]

Also iirc they made it so CT is needed to finish 2.5 iirc

[tawdry citrus]

SHB=Shadowbringers

[quaint brook]

Ur on the free trial?

[gritty oracle]

You cannot unlock the two jobs that were introduced in Shadowbringers, Dancer and Gunbreaker

[leaden ginkgo]

Thanks! I feel bad if there are some people saying '?' in chat. I might just say 'Tank made a mistake. Sorry'

[tawdry citrus]

or just say "it happens, lets go again"

[quaint brook]

I get ya, just no need to stress ur mind if no1 is really outright asking what happened

[hazy dove]

nah I bought the game, so trial issues won't be a problem for me

[hazy dove]

That won't be an issue then, since I'm so new I'm literally just working on one main class atm lol

[quaint brook]

Ah okay, I'd recommend doing crystal tower anyways for if u do decide om getting shb and for the experience

[calm walrus]

just do your best not to miss again, and if you're still wiping, at least you know it's not your fault

[leaden ginkgo]

Just out of curiosity, is wiping at the first tower a relatively common thing to happen in mount farming parties as well? It's a usual thing in practice parties

[gritty oracle]

Make sure to pick up a Refer a Friend code! It'll give both you and your referrer free stuff.

[hazy dove]

Are those different from normal raids? I'm only level 49 atm so almost to 50

[tawdry citrus]

only thing that will limit you by not having shadowbringers is that when you beat stormblood+patch quests you can't progress MSQ

[quaint brook]

They r ff14s big raids

[hazy dove]

Where do i get that?

[quaint brook]

24man raids

[oak ice]

Which fight?

[leaden ginkgo]

Extreme hades

[tawdry citrus]

mog station

[calm walrus]

it happens, especially with overzealous tanks that try to squeeze dps but end up missing the first tower

[hazy dove]

that'll be fine, gives me time to fool around and do all the misc stuff, there's a ton of content still lol

[gritty oracle]

Either ask here if someone has a code for you, or visit r/ffxivraf

[oak ice]

I guess, it's reliant on the dps not blasting the tanks with AoEs

[calm walrus]

the timing between lahabrea's spawn and the tower is surprisingly tight

wait, was it nabriales?

[oak ice]

Nabby

[calm walrus]

nabby then

[hazy dove]

so wait, am I typing in a code saying this guy referred me? Or am I giving someone else a code to type in?

[gritty oracle]

You mean Nabriales, and nah. I have time to do a goring blade combo and use requiescat and don't even have to pop sprint.

[leaden ginkgo]

Thanks! I was really stressed at that party, because I could hear people saying that I should go back to a practice party. I might just do DPS in Hades

[gritty oracle]

!faq raf

[tawdry citrus]

https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxivraf

[leaden ginkgo]

I usually forget about the one in middle, stay in south (or north) and sprint to get them

[gritty oracle]

Middle tower???

[robust light]

How do you get no.2 type B boots?

[calm walrus]

i'm a pld main and i know you can squeeze goring+req, yeah, but i always think it's surprisingly tight for ex content (and judging from the amount of wipes i see while playing other roles there's probably some truth to that)

[oak ice]

Beat Copied Factory, win the coffer at the end, open

[tawdry citrus]

Copied factory

[robust light]

?

[calm walrus]

(i guess there's also a possibility that i play on suboptimal ping)

[tawdry citrus]

its an alliance raid in shadowbringers

[robust light]

oh damn, around lvl 80 then

[tawdry citrus]

yep yep

[gritty oracle]

Yeah, it's kinda tight, but it's still 5-6 seconds between boss becoming targetable and first tower going off. Imo it's insanely generous. Also you should check your ping.

[leaden ginkgo]

Just wondering, but out of the 7 extremes, is Hades the only one that has wipes because of 1 person? I might just avoid doing tank in those next

[gritty oracle]

I think one person mistakes can cause wipes in all ex. F.e in SoS, you can't mess up brimstone earth in drk phase, although missed meteors don't wipe the party anymore.

[versed bison]

When to use gshade

[gritty oracle]

In cpose

Also lb3 can also wipe the party if you fuck up

[calm walrus]

yeah, for ex i think there's always a 'one person fuck up we wipe' gimmick

[agile laurel]

whenever you like

wdym 'when'?

[calm walrus]

and hey, if you play tank usually if you fuck up you'll wipe the party anyway 🤪

[versed bison]

Someone told me that people use gshade only for photos

[gritty oracle]

Old extremes are recoverable though. For example, if you miss a phoenix in Suzaku ex, it used to mean a wipe, but now you can burst the buffed phoenixes down and a single blast is even survivable

[versed bison]

Because it is a heavy stuff

[agile laurel]

it really isnt

[gritty oracle]

Depends on the filter used.

[leaden ginkgo]

In Innocence there isn't (though a party can half collapse), and there are no wipes in titania unless 2 can't go in the second puddle

[versed bison]

How much fps do I lose when I use gshade ?

[agile laurel]

literally cannot answer that

idk your pc setup

idk what shader you're going to use

there is no such thing as 'gshade', its a pack of shaders optimised for FF

[leaden ginkgo]

Basically just SoS and Hades, and for others can recover? I think even in diamond, a party can half collapse but not entirely from 1 mistake

[versed bison]

I have a laptop

16 GB ram
I7 10th gen laptop
Rtx 2060 graphics 6 GB

[calm walrus]

okay maybe not wipe but a good chance of more than half people dying (in titania/innocence's case, thunder, orbs, puddles, etc)

[glossy flare]

Still impossible to answer with an exact number. Just try it out, there's no harm

[gritty oracle]

In Suzaku, people messing up phoenixes used to wipe the group. In Seiryu, the meteors in P2 come to mind (most unsync groups never see it). Titania, if a puddle is not soaked and roots rotate wrong, I think that's also a wipe

Or used to be

[calm walrus]

and in diamond's case, a dice/tower screwup followed by the dual tankbusters usually will kill anyone but tanks unless you use tank LB

[gritty oracle]

In Ruby, it has to be intentional, but in liquefaction you can absolutely blow up the group with placing a mine in the centre, or starting a chain reaction

[calm walrus]

i always think ex is a lot of 'not outright wipe, but unless your healer/tank is very competent, very hard to recover' stuff

[leaden ginkgo]

With Ruby, I'm still confused with where I can go after the machine floats with it's arm. Do you have any advice?

[calm walrus]

which makes playing tank/healer fun to a degree

[leaden ginkgo]

I really admire healer who can recover a half broken party

[gritty oracle]

I think that's Emerald you're talking about

[calm walrus]

maybe it's the dash around with claw thing? forgot the name

[leaden ginkgo]

No, the Ruby part when it moves around with the claw

[calm walrus]

afraid i can't help with that, it's been ages since i went to ruby ex (:3」∠)

[oak ice]

You mean Ravensflight?

[gritty oracle]

Ravenclaw? Check which side the claws are, and then kind of "rotate" the boss in your mind to the final arrow pointing inward, to get a picture of where the safe spot is. Or just follow the group and pray they did the math correctly.

[leaden ginkgo]

Honestly, I can't do the mental imagination in less than a second

[calm walrus]

it's all about practice

[gritty oracle]

Then just do what people have done since content existed and "go where everyone else goes"

[leaden ginkgo]

Thanks!

[oak ice]

If it's Ravensflight, you move behind the first arrow, run mid, check which claw he pulls up, run to the safe spot and then go to either north or south by yeeting across

There's plenty of time to move

[calm walrus]

or if you're a tank, pop a cooldown and just tank it like a boss! (please don't do this)

[devout lichen]

where do I get gear for leveling new classes

[calm walrus]

market board or npc vendor

[jade willow]

how can i go about getting a craftable armor piece for glamour? e.g. https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/playguide/db/item/3ead997bd5c

[oak ice]

That drops in Dzemael Darkhold

[jade willow]

oh bad example

[calm walrus]

that's not craftable, unless you mean the other galerus

[jade willow]

lol

[gritty oracle]

Craft it or buy it from the market board. Also some ARR stuff drops from dungeons

[jade willow]

oh you can search specific item on market board?

[calm walrus]

yes you can

[oak ice]

Yes

[jade willow]

thx

[calm walrus]

there's a search bar on the top left

[oak ice]

If you tick the "partial match" button, you don't have to worry about the extremely anal spelling

[devout lichen]

which npc vendor

[calm walrus]

well it depends on your job/level

[modern sorrel]

Hey

I've been having this really annoying issue

when my friend and I get the Duty Pop

we get the options to click commence wait and withdraw

[devout lichen]

just level 30 mch

[modern sorrel]

Every time I click commence It seems to fuck me over and give us a penalty

For no reason

[coarse meadow]

Anyone have a good controller layout for sam?

[modern sorrel]

Is this a bug? why does this happen

[fast talon]

Does it not give any error in the chat box?

Its usually in red text

[modern sorrel]

Yeah it does it says "You cannot use the duty finder, as you have incurred a penalty for abandoning duties."

We get a 30 minute lock out of duty finder

after waiting that time we go back to duty finder and it pops up again

It asks us Commence Wait or Withdraw

I click commence it gives me another penalty for 30 minutes

[fast talon]

Does this also happen when you're alone?

[modern sorrel]

I haven't had it happen solo

[fast talon]

Are you sure your friend is clicking commence in time

[modern sorrel]

Yes

She's not sabotaging it in any way I know for sure

It's just so odd

At times

I click commence and it works fine

but others like just now it gives me a penalty for no reason

[whole wasp]

Penalties are applied to the whole party if they queue together. thats our only guess as to why it happening to you. you also confirmed that you didnt get this solo.

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[modern sorrel]

So it's not a known issue as to why penalties are given for commencing a duty

I know that if you're using a different class all you need to do is switch back to the one you Q'd up with to commence

Is there any situation where the Duty pops and it automatically withdraws you

[calm walrus]

i dunno, it may not be intentional but maybe your friend accidentally clicked withdraw?

[whole wasp]

i cant think of any. there is only one occurance where your queue can pop while you are in the black loading screen

and the loading screen can prevent you from pressing commence

[modern sorrel]

I guess I'll have to try and figure it out... I'm just going to wait until there's 20 seconds to commence and click it

Maybe it doesn't withdraw me instead if everyone else is ready

[whole wasp]

if all else fails, try letting someone else be party leader.

maybe theres some weird things going on

[modern sorrel]

Yeah I'll try that actually thanks

[tidal yarrow]

Xaela is black and raen white scales?

[gritty oracle]

Yes

[tidal yarrow]

what is rava?

[calm walrus]

rava?

[glossy flare]

those are for Viera

[gritty oracle]

It's a Viera subrace

[tidal yarrow]

clan/gender rava

[glossy flare]

not for Aura

[calm walrus]

ooohh

was thinking about ravana lol

[tidal yarrow]

nono lol

[glossy flare]

Rava are the blondes, Veena are the dark haired iirc

[calm walrus]

guess i just kinda forgot viera's (and hrothgar's) subraces

[fair cypress]

i just got the game and i already have problems

also hi

[calm walrus]

hi

[whole wasp]

hi. what problems do you have?

[worthy basin]

what is the common/strongest single target skill for blue?

[calm walrus]

we're talking GCDs?

[worthy basin]

yes

[devout lichen]

you can't glamour higher level stuff if you arent that level?

[calm walrus]

for the one you spam it's probably the 220s or Choco Meteor for field contents

[honest anvil]

ye you cant glam what u cant equip

[devout lichen]

damn, that's unfortunate

[glossy flare]

you also can't glam a higher level item on a lower level one

[honest anvil]

broad question but how do the the 3 ultimates rank in terms of difficulty?

[faint flare]

Usually it's like Ucob = >Tea > uwu

[honest anvil]

any highlights of why ucob might be harder than TEA?

[faint flare]

It's length primarily

Length and fatigue is a big factor

And doing nael quotes without act is kinda ass

Otherwise Tea and Ucob are mostly interchangeable

[agile laurel]

late reply but other way around

[glossy flare]

my bad, not a bunny expert

[honest anvil]

thank you. i’ll make sure to save ucob for last xD

[ruby plover]

Hey guys. The quest "Inscrutable tastes" isnt showing up for me.

any reasons why?

[glossy flare]

You have both the msq progress and the required crafter/gatherer level to start it?

[fresh torrent]

What should I feed my chocobo, everything is permanent right?

[ruby plover]

lvl 80 weaver, halfway through shb

[glossy flare]

then I have no idea tbh, those should be the only 2 requirements

[ruby plover]

hmmm ill do some more research

thanks for the help anyways 😄

[faint flare]

Check to see if you've done It already in completed

As always

[ruby plover]

pretty sure ii havent

[faint flare]

Never hurts to check

[ruby plover]

alright

[lethal cape]

potd or dungeon spam as healer for faster leveling?

[ruby plover]

ahhhhhhh my bbro mustve done it on my acc

lmaooooo

[faint flare]

Dungeons

[glossy flare]

dungeon spam

[ruby plover]

or my memory si trash

[lethal cape]

ty

[glossy flare]

potd is only faster if you have long queues

which healers do not

[faint flare]

Potd is for when ques are like 15mins+

[ruby plover]

thanks vinyl tails!

[faint flare]

Told ya so

[warped nest]

Don't forget that if you failed potd

[ruby plover]

😆 thanks

[warped nest]

You get no exp

[flat yew]

would I get striking or scouting gear for my summoner?

or something else entirely?

[rigid dove]

If im normally playing on pc and swap to my playstation for convenience and flex sometimes, do my settings change when i alter them on my ps and go back to pc?

[glossy flare]

you want casting

striking is for monk and samurai, scouting for ninja

[faint flare]

No. Settings are client side

[flat yew]

ohh, forgot casting was a thing

guess I didn't unlock the recipes for that

[rigid dove]

So i can freely adjust stuff without altering the ones on either side

?

[calm walrus]

yes

[faint flare]

Yes

[rigid dove]

Nice, thanks!

[faint flare]

Everything is client side

[calm walrus]

alternatively if you do want to sync them you can upload your pc settings to the cloud and download them to your ps4/5, or vice versa

[tender ice]

Is it still possible to get the Summer's Flame Top?

[humble nexus]

i'm thinking of buying the game but a bit lost which should i buy or is it worth it to pre-order the expansion ( i played the free trial long time ago when it was limited to lvl 20) can anyone pm me to help me a bit

[flat yew]

erm, do I need an arcanist weapon to go back and unlock summoner if I initially picked scholar?

[faint flare]

If you're on trial then you need complete edition for everything.... OR starter edition + shadowbringers which is the same thing bur In separate packages

[calm walrus]

not yet i think? it was the reward for last year's summer event, so usually they'll put it up for purchase (with real money) on mogstation next summer

[obsidian patio]

yes

[calm walrus]

if you're above level 50, yes. post 50 SMN and SCH have different weapons

[flat yew]

yeah I'm 80 as scholar and wanted to prep at least one dps haha

[tender ice]

ty

[nocturne wasp]

This is more just confusion, but does anyone know why the game is recommending these two rings when I see no reaosn why they'd help at level 53?

[faint flare]

You're a caster

And using fending accessories

They're literally useless to you

The fending accessories are giving you Basically no stats

You don't use strength

So it's literally useless

[nocturne wasp]

Oh the board recommended them woops

[calm walrus]

the game probably thinks 'this dude's a caster, so these rings that gives +1 int are better than the one than gives +0!'

[faint flare]

The board just shows stuff you can equip

It's not recommending anything

[nocturne wasp]

Ouch, I wasted money then-

My bad

[faint flare]

You want Casting accessories

Go buy ironworks with poetics

In the starting cities with sundry splendors

[nocturne wasp]

Thank you

[light monolith]

Can you like spam the castrum raid in Bozja without entering it once after reaching rank 10?

or is it once a day?

[faint flare]

You can only run it when it spawns inside BSF

There's no limit

[light monolith]

alrighty!

[stable grail]

Hello, where can I get lvl35 set for gathering? "Velveteen Doublet Vest of Gathering Set"

or vendor gear for gathering?

[tender ice]

How do I change a Mog Station male item into the female version? It says on the Calamity Savager, but which option is it?

[vocal star]

is there diffrence between HQ and NQ antidote?

[honest anvil]

Should be an “armorer” or a “fieldcraft trader” in any big market

[honest anvil]

Recast time

[quiet acorn]

Is the item level on the character screen an actual average of every equipped item. I'm doing the math and its not matching it

[proud willow]

your weapon counts twice

unless you're Gladiator/Paladin

[wintry chasm]

^ which has an off-hand weap

Or crafters and gatherers really

[quiet acorn]

Thanks

[faint flare]

Add all slots (weapon counts double for non paladin/crafters) then divide by 13

Is the maths

[plain python]

do we have the soldier salute emote from the First?

[stable grail]

When gathering, you mainly recover GP with potions/time?

[faint flare]

Yes

Cordials and waiting

[robust light]

When switching classes, is there a way to save the hud layout? Cause it gets really annoying to redo all the layout again

[faint flare]

You can have 4 different hud layouts

[stable grail]

interesting, that quite much makes alchemy even more important aspect of mp

[faint flare]

You can just buy cordials with company seals

[calm walrus]

alternatively, buy hi-cordials with yellow scrips

[stable grail]

you dont make them from crafting?

[faint flare]

You can

[umbral nest]

guys does the kupo bot have the option to view dungeons and their loot

[faint flare]

But you can get them elsewhere

[late venture]

Howdy yall, what NA server data center would yall suggest for someone looking to do raiding/end game content?

[stable grail]

i see

[faint flare]

Any

Kinda doesn't really matter

[late venture]

whys that?

[faint flare]

Cause they're basically the same

Crystal is very so slightly more Rp but you can still raid on it

[stable grail]

is it normal to get about 4-6k exp per piece of the node while gathering? rn 49botanist

[calm walrus]

the population is pretty balanced and the matching is data center wide

[stable grail]

in diadem ofc

[calm walrus]

so unless you plan to do bleeding edge raiding like aiming for world firsts, any data center should work fine

[late venture]

I'm a transfer from wow (was in a top 100 raiding guild) so just looking for something in the same vejn :) thanks for the information

[tidal yarrow]

can i save the appearance of one of my characters?
when i made the character and it asked i said "no"

but now i would like to

[faint flare]

Right click the character

During character selection

In the character list

[tidal yarrow]

thank you

[stable grail]

is gathering 50-80/60-80 mainly leves and not diadem?
while 1-50/60 is diadem grind?

[faint flare]

Leves are better in general but diadem is braindead and gets two birds in one stone

[rancid pelican]

Hello there everyone. I've decided to apply for a world transfer but I'm not sure about two specific points:

• How long does it take for the transfer to be completed?

[faint flare]

Usually not long

[stable grail]

but in diadem u get like 6k exp per item

[rancid pelican]

• Can it be done while the subscription is inactive?

[faint flare]

Don't think so

[faint flare]

Use food and survival manuals to boost it

Then just brain off

[stable grail]

they are active

thats the thing

xd

so its normal to get that much exp

since i noticed trying to gather lvl60 node, it gave same exp per item piece

[calm walrus]

i dunno about doing it without subscription, but last time i did it it was practically instant

[rancid pelican]

Oh,I see, that's good to hear.

That would negate the second part of my question if that's the case. Thanks

[leaden ginkgo]

uh
so anyone can explain
what is short vs long cast in RDM

and how you do level 50 basic rotation

i am watching weskalber vid

[faint flare]

Short cast is spells that are 2.5s cast

[leaden ginkgo]

but having difficulity understanding it

[faint flare]

Long casts are spells with longer casts

!faq 50rdm

[zinc orbit]

'I just unlocked this' 5.x guide

Image URL: https://i.imgur.com/2FTx31t.jpg

[glossy flare]

You try to avoid hardcasting the long cast spells

[leaden ginkgo]

i see

so i need to use scatter first

[obsidian patio]

no

[glossy flare]

By utilizing your dual cast trait which makes every other spell you cast instant

[faint flare]

Scatter is 5s cast

[leaden ginkgo]

oh

[obsidian patio]

shortcast = Jolt, VerFire/VerStone, VerThunder 2/VerAero 2
Longcast = VerThunder/VerAero, Scatter/Impact

[faint flare]

Look at the cast time of your spells in the tooltip

[glossy flare]

For single target you would use jolt into veraero or verthunder
