||THE WARDEN'S LIGHT BROKE FREE? No...||
Ahh I see
Other stuff as well but that's the closest one I remember
Where there some lines unvoiced?
I think the extra Ex lined weren't but I haven't done much ex to remember
All the ones from the normal mode are
Oh yeah that make sense
Even his intro cutscene
I see
The line about talking about tearing his mortal form as well
That's msq not the trial series
guys,best food to make my samurai SUPER strong?
Does SOSEx have any extra lines in EX?
Smoked chicken
Smoked chicken
I think no?
I think so
Because I remember every line was voiced in SOSEx
sos ex is just more mechanics, no additional ones
Make sense, MSQ is important
Trial series of ShB is sorrow of werlyt
thank you
extreme trials don't have any additional phases like how final step of savage has it
Only Quintuple cast is new but it's not really voiced or quoted
and thus no additional voice lines
Yeah, did the boss ever go ||No, I can’t falter, not like this|| or something in normal?
smoked chicken....what are the buffs that I will get with it?
yes
Ahh nice
Hades ex does but that's its own beast
uhh, what?
if i buy the fat cat
And those don't get new voice lines
can it be used as a companion with greens instead of chocobo?
are we talking about the ||spectral ancients part?||
Final phase is also different
hmm i would need to look at it again but neat
oh wait
shinryu also had a different final part for ex
The boss ||transforms again||
Yup
No
Chocobo is the only companion
Hades EX has a fucking cadabre of new shit between the two phases we know and love.
same with the singularity reactor now that i think about it 
sadge would be nice
Shall I explain the differences between Hades Normal and Hades Extreme?
i'm good i just watched a vid
What will cause SOSEx to invuln your LB again?
When you LB when he's not casting anything
If he's not casting while you're LB'ing.
I see
He does this in normal too btw, doesn't he?
No cuz spoils in questions chat
doesn't he counter too or am i conflating that with something else
Yes
I think so yeah
hm okay, i think i made up the part where he counters with a radiant desperado in my head from the last time i did it
That's just his LB
Yeah probably
ye ye
If I purchase a game time card successfully, is it automatically active? Or do I have to implement a code somewhere?
!item smoked chicken

does samurai benefit from str or dex?
That's more for tanks
Fending is for tanks
Cause of the tenacity
but it looks good for sam:/
Tenacity is a tank only stat
Accessories before shadowbringers are just dumb
i just had really bad bracelets
It does nothing for no one else
so i should feel bad for greeding it?
I mean if your bracelets are hot garbage it's fine but you should upgrade to ironworks slaying bracelets asap
No
Tank would have been able to need it
People don't care, it's junk/seals/desynth anyway
im on it i just miss something like 40
so i should spam until i get full ironworks, and after i level 60 i do same for the lvl 60 gear and 70 and 80 ye?
Get full ironworks then your daily roulettes will cap you out by the time you hit 60
And again at 70
alrighty 😄
Other way around
@ this statement
anyone got a moment about the subscription ?
sup domo
Guaranteed the poetics and bonus exp/gil depending on the roulette. Tank gets the adventurer in need bonuses
thanks
!faq subprice
i wanted to get the 180 days so i had to do the 1 euro thingy
did it and got an email that i got the 180 days for 0.00 euro

and ive send 2 euros to square enix
i think it's cuz u have game time left
happened the same to me
and now i have this https://prnt.sc/1575u3o
The 1 euro is a test to see if the card is real
and then they charged me after i finished my days
It will be refunded and proper money taken
so i can only buy it when my 24 free days are gone?
it will be purchased automaticalky
okay, i thought i messed smth up lol
should i cancel service acc/subscription and buy when my time finishes or should i leave it as it is?
Don't ever press cancel service account
sorry for the stupid questions, first time playing a monthly billed game
I just buy manually each month tbh
That basically deletes your account
good to know
Cancel subscription cancels any Recurring subscription
then imma leave it as it is and watch for any emails
thanks for the info! have a good day/night!
can i change my race in game later on ?
you can through an item called a potion of fantasia
you get one for free after beating the base game at level 50
yeah it is 10 dollars for additional fantasias
use it wisely if you're considering changing
damn
You can change your tattoos and hair including facial hair at the aesthetician for a gil
when can we expect the next moogle event or any event for mounts?
There might be another Kamuy mount added to moogle tomes but that's as good as you'll get to any sort of rewards for the next moogle event
Is there any benefit to making multiple characters instead of just having one character be all classes?
Also no memes or gifs here pls
They won't change what's available especially since the tome event ends monday
I'm talking about the next event
Moogle events are more just for filling gaps between updates/events than anything afaik

Some content has weekly locks so can make party finding easier for that
shouldnt there be more moogle event now since there wont be any significant patch till endwalker?
There is but it ends on Tuesday
the fanfest moogle event is still on going until tuesday
Possibly but we don't get a schedule for moogle events
if we do get another one, probably will be around 5.58
what Kat said, but generally it's a lot of work unless you care A LOT about bis on multiple classes you play getting completed ASAP
as it's mostly done for savage lockouts iirc
I wouldn't count on one till after Summer anyway
are there any preferred worlds on primal rn~?
!preferred primal
tysm!
they're full rn so it may take a minute to get in during character creation because of server population
all good~ i've been around for a minute and just randomly got the itch to make an alt lol
good luck then
ty! c:
yeah it may serve you to do it when people are asleep for an easier time
Usually when people say AST’s Noct Intersection, they mean using CI as Noct AST right?
Like, not the other way around
!action celestial intersection
Restores own or target party member's HP.
Cure Potency: 200
Diurnal Sect Effect: Erects a magicked barrier which nullifies damage equaling 200% of the amount of HP restored
Duration: 30s
Nocturnal Sect Effect: Regen
Cure Potency: 150
Duration: 15s
Effect cannot be stacked.
Can only be executed while under the effect of Diurnal Sect or Nocturnal Sect.
Because I think when Diur AST use CI, the buff is called Noct CI in game lol
It gives the opposite buff to your current aspect
If you're in regen mode it gives a shield, shield mode gives regen
That's the gimmick
But I’m fairly certain when guides say Noct CI is stonk, they mean the CI you use during Noct AST
The buff name is the opposite of your sect
As in, the regen you provide as a Noct AST can almost cover auto attack damage
Yeah, it’s just the balance guide says something like “The sects are much balanced now since Noct Intersection is really strong”
And I got confused
I think the author meant, due to Celestial Inrereection, Noct AST is a lot stronger now, so you don’t need to run WHM + Diur AST or something when progging e8s
Noct Intersection probably means Noct AST using CI lol
I just hit 80, next quest is Crown of the Immaculate. Is there better gear coming up as rewards or am I best buying whatever is top of the market board? I didn't see any gear as rewards for the quests coming up.
You'll get your artifact gear soon
you will get a set of ilevel 430 gear for free a bit after Crown
Provided you finished your role quests
You'll get class gear (weapon + left side) along the way to the level 80 dungeon.
though in the grand scheme of things, rn wouldn't be a bad idea to buy exarchic armor off the mb as you'll be doing that afater you beat the MSQ as a whole anyawy
Don’t worry, just do it, it’s an easy fight
but yes for the purposes of beating Crown, neither armor set is necessary
I would encourage purchasing the armor afterwards so you'll have it now instead of later
I mean, you can get away with not buying gear and just grab Crystarium and Eden and YorHa gear while you grind for Cryptlurker.
I'm cheap, so that's how I always do things.
Yeah, it’s definitely viable
mhm that too
Dungeon gear is now 505
oh is it? what's the min ilevel for pag again
So if you are like, have a spare 30 mil or something, go buy gear on MB
485? I think?
490
Otherwise not buying MB and just farming is totally viable
Nah I don't mean specifically for the fight, I'm not great at farming the high level dungeons for tomes or scrips or whatever it is now lol so I just want to get the best I can now so I can meld and/or glamour
yeah don't really sweat it
after some consideration, Aura's method is better in the grand scheme of things for saving gil
Yeah, then you can consider buying 510 gear on MB.
How much Gil do you have?
give buying stuff on the MB consideration afterwards though if you have the gil
3mil
Hmm... that’s just enough
My method is 100% the "I'm cheap, and willing to spend some time grinding the same instances" method.
yeah i would focus on finishing MSQ and then you can ask later about exploring avenues for getting armor after
Depends on their server, tbh.
And their class.
Elemental MB prices for gear is cheap lol
Also you still need allegory to upgrade to 520
also Materia market crashed at 5.4
JP server prices always tend to be lower than pretty much anywhere else.
I personally strongly recommend farming gear first, and then farm Allegory.
Then buy some exarich chest pieces or leg pieces, and combine that with allegory to get 520 gear
but yeah beat MSQ and then return here to ask questions on what to do for armor after the fact
So that's not really a good measure for how prices will look elsewhere in the world.
think we should consider one step at a time here as i'm sure there's a lot of info to take in rn
@ becky
I don't mind farming dungeons if I can do it but I remember farming stuff for anima and atmus rods I think it was, never got much further than that lol these high end dungeons and raids are a bit much for me lol
Yeah just keep doing MSQ
Also no, there won’t be anything like that grindy
Anima and Atmas are crazy grindy
The "Normal" raids aren't much harder than trials for the story, and if your luck is good you can get a full set or close to a full set of gear just from doing them on the unlocks.
What class are you playing?
Those are relics
I'm BLM
Actually, prices on Light for exarchic gear don't look too bad.
Mostly in the 120k range per piece.
Why do people tend to discourage running DR for mettle? I got an overwhelming amount of it even after dying a few times through it
Because people are fucking trash at mechanics and die all the time
Because Dr suuuuuuuuuuuucks
Also it takes really long for the mettle given
And Zadnor is way more efficient
On average
I got 168k
and I got 600k for 1 CE
That's like 1 Zadnor ce
that took 6 mins
What rank?
I have all the ShB relics at augmented laws order or complete I fucking hate dr
25
Mostly because DR is really painful and long
I'm nowhere near that
480k at 15
And it takes 20 min minimum
Skirmishes at rank 15 give like 150k
And a dal is 3.3 mill
that and fuck all the DR you have to do for the fucking relic
Yeah, people run DR, just not for mettle
15 runs PER
Since lots of relic steps require DR
255 timeworns
If people are housing DR speed runs definitely do it
Ahhhhhh
2
Yeah the timeless artifact collection is gonna hurt
no plz
Technically only 1
No please don’t remind us
I fucking did it
DR speedruns basically make you realise just how lazy/bad alot of people are
... mom pick me up im scared
What even is suffering anymore
alight im going off topic now
When you see the speed difference
One of the mentors has also done it,
People speedrun this?
Yeah
It's easy to speedrun if players are competent
I get annoyed just seeing more than one trinity cycle
of course they do, it's something you have to grind so people speed through it
People occasionally set up speedruns in PF
On average PF party can do about 25 min per run I think
Honestly if you know the mechanics Dr is a cakewalk
And will kick people who don't essence
But yeah, in PF it’s a bit...
Get like 20min runs
I mean if you're gonna go for every relic weapon you should probably speedrun
So I've been chilling, doing some botany, and I've hit 55.
What kinda logs are generally recommended for some gil making, since I'm kinda low?
Do I just go for the highest I can go for, or what?
I've done DR over 70 times, can confirm the mechs are easy as hell and I can just sleep through them.
The pieces do like 1 mechanic each
It does beat two hours in potd with 1 drop..
Before dying
research your mb
Like, even if you use ACT and kick people with low DPS, you will still just release leechers with worse leechers
Endgame materials are the only good way to make gil I'm afraid
Fair, yea
Not fully true, some logs/lumber early on are in high demand, because housing and other stuff
No, not really, as long as it’s a field with low supply
Sometimes lower level stuff is popular but consistently endgame more often than not
Look into the market, though some materials tend to be used later on too
Especially for furniture
Once a while there is a hole in the MB, and you get find some random gathered mat sells for like 1k a piece
stuff like dark chestnut logs sell high, in part because it requires a lot to make lumber
It will usually get filled in hours though lol
and used for housing in large amts
Yeah, that's what I'm getting rn
yeah gotta just do mb research
i also recommend collecting a map daily to sell
But yeah, at low level there aren’t much consistent ways to earn money
it's good passive income
Does gear affect my Quick venture xp?
no
And at high levels, in competitive markets, profits are razor thin
Since you can only compete with bots so much
you really gotta find a nichem and even then that niche will likely need a lot of work put into it
I mean I'm not looking to become a millionaire, just at least have a safety net or w/e
i sell cookie biscuits on the mb for people who want to do levequests for zer oeffort and profit very much from that
yeah maps are a solid safety net
at level 70 gazelleskins sell for 50k per, so 50k a day for free is 
What do you mean not a millionaire, everyone at least have 1 mil in ffxiv lol
think they mean just not uber omega rich

Ok
WHAT
That’s a minor problem
You should have at least 1mil floating by at that level
Do you have access to Market Board?
1.2k is like, pocket pennies in this game, you'll just make a shitton of gil just by playing
source: I have 8mil, by not doing much at all
I have 30 mil, most of it is from selling anything I could
roulettes by end game give you around 10k-30k gil each
It's not, though I don't recall which I don't play a lalafell
help me decide pls, gnb or war?
Fell cleave go brrrr
I bought a ton of gear for better stats, really, and kinda horde stuff
I've probably got money stashed away in stuff I can sell, I just tend not to be great at the economy side of things in MMO's in general
You don't need to buy gear with gil
Buy stuff first, worry about money later
Especially post 50
Running duties should set you up with gear
You can literally coast on tome gear
Do you not care too much about rotations?
Do you like big animations?
Do you like to not die despite all logic meaning you should?
Play war
Warrior is too angry to die
Can you get an appartement in Kugane and Ishgard?
Kugane yes
i'm in such a rough spot... really like the rotation side of gnb, but love the aesthetic of war
WAR is just an endless serious of how I am I not dying moments
Ishgard, no
Ishgard not yet
ishgard in 6.1, kugane now
yeah i've never seen this emote
when butterfingers accepts your receipt for the mount do they email you or do you just get the mount?
thnks
Dulia does the emote too and she has the lalafell rig
there are just very odd exclusive emotes that we don't get access to
You'll get a code emailed
/insist was an exclusive emote for ages
i had a question earlier for one that looks like the dababy pose from the thaumaturge quest
wedge does it alot
i'm sure we'll get it but we certainly don't havei t now
also side-note i follow u, very nice account
hold on actually let me grab the tweet with my question
tytytyty
is leveling scholar in dungeon faster than summoner in PoTD
i'm getting pretty fast queue times as healer
Yes
pretty sure this is exclusive, right?
Dungeons are more efficient
plus it probably helps other people out too
Queue times have always felt basically instant as healer
so im doing society a benefit
dungeons are faster yes
potd is an alternative way to do it though that is also subject to queues in of itself
potd is braindead and levels your aetherpool stuff + you get drops from the sacks tho
but yeah
dungeon grinding is good
ya i did potd to 30 and already sick of it lol
i just do it while watching a movie or documentary
same
If you mean if only NPCs have that emote, then I think so, yes.
yes that is what i meant, and ty
i figured but wanted to make sure
it was bugging the hell out of me
Daily
Don't forget the challenge log, which resets weekly
Dungeon grinding's cool, I get a little annoyed when I get dropped down to a super low level dungeon and can't do any of the cool stuff but I get why
you shouldn't be grinding in a roulette
you should be grinding at ur hight level after doing the roulette once to get the daily exp bonus
the lvl 80 exp boost for lower lvl jobs is something you get when hitting lvl 80 or do you have to unlock it?
Repeating the highest level dungeon you can do is viable but also tedious rofl
Sorry, yeah, didn't mean grinding lmao
There's no lv80 boost
!faq armouryexp
'How do I get the bonus experience from the Armoury?'
As long as you're playing a Disciple of War or a Disciple of Magic class that's a lower level than your highest level class then you're able to benefit from the bonus experience. You do not need to have a class at level 80 for the bonus to be active.
'How much is the bonus experience?'
You get +100% experience from levels 1 to 69, which then reduces to +50% for level 70 to 79. The difference in level between your current class and highest class does not change the amount of experience you get.
Armoury bonus is automatic for any job under your highest level job
You simply need to be on a class that’s not your highest.
do you mean:
- road to 70, the double exp boost?
- armory bonus, the exp for having a character lower than ur highest level char?
No tricks with the boost
yeah thats what i meant
who is better aoe, war or gnb?
Yes
If you're not too particular with whom you run with for your other jobs there's always the squadron
basically identical
is there a level at which you're asking this question for Rip Sauce
probably war cuz u can spam stuff in ur
because yeah they're basically the same, WAR has burst due to crits and IR, but GNB has consistently high aoe with its damage boost and higher potency aoe combo
Warrior is high burst but poor out of burst...gnb is consistent with a good burst
just play what looks cool
Part of why I chose Dragoon, also because I like long pokey weapons
fuck does Inner Release feel good tho
also depends on the length of the pull
if everything dies within WAR's burst then it's clearly better for that, but that doesn't usually ever happen with level 80 dungeon scaling
I enjoy feeling like a nuisance, just poking the enemies
anyone know how to stop the game from blurring things at a distance like this?
ok war it is i guess.. hard to beat using a weapon that's bigger than you are xD
there's fog
it's a weather condition
so the answer is no, you cannot
also war has a whole 80 levels worth of glamour while gunbreaker has like, 10-ish
my friend doesn't see the blur, same place
thats GShade DoF
i don't think ffxiv has any distance blurring like that by default at all
andd can I turn nthat off?
that or nvidia freestyle
where @ ?
press f2? (fact check me) to open the gshade menu
Shift + F3 to turn off your shader to see if it is that, yeah
yeah wizard's got it
does defiance stack with other abilities that give defiance too ?
okay ty, we good
defiance is the stance that gives additional aggro / emnity (emnity being the official term)
I do have another question though is it possible to get dps meters for personal dam
and i think it does multiply the emnity from stuff like tomahawk?
yes, it's called ACT
do not talk about it or mention in-game as it is considered taboo
well not taboo, it's bannable
not taboo, it's straight up against tos
think they mean the additional aggro multiplier on top of stuff that has increased aggro, such as tomahawk
yeah that is waht i meant, taboo was vague
you will only get banned if you harrass people with their DPS numbers
I gave it a try and it was a total pain to set up for me so I just gave up
Not something I really need anyways, was just curious but didn't care enough to fix it
I'm mainly just curious about DPS numbers in this game since I come from mythic raider in wow of 13 years exp lol
though it's just smarter and safer to not mention at all
!faq act
Advanced Combat Tracker (ACT) can be used to view and record combat in real time to see player damage, healing, etc. ACT logs can then be uploaded to FFLogs to compare your performance with other players.
Please note this software is technically against the FFXIV Terms of Service and should only be used for personal improvement. Mentioning ACT/Parsing in-game, particularly to harass other players, is likely to result in punishment against your Square Enix account.
For dps meter
official dps checking is called "stone sea and sky"
is it hard to install?
Fflogs is run by the same guy who does wow logs
eh? it's kind of annoying to set up but it's not really that bad in the grand scheme of things
the tutorial is thorough
in the link in the faq, that is
that has so many steps to install lol what the
dont use it then!
okay, thank you guys <3
it took me 15 minutes at most yeah, not really that bad
If you wanna do it, do it.
If not, don't. Simple as.
So, I changed literally nothing about my settings, and the game dropped from 60 fps to 50. Not sure why, but I kept playing like normal. Today, when I went to play it, it went down to 7. I have no idea why. Can anyone help?
its that complicated because its an unofficial addon that uses network or memory monitoring to calculate stuff
might get install it anyways
are you exploring new areas
no
were you in a populated area?
pc go brrr
which areas is this happening in? or is it seemingly just random as all hell regardless of where u were
Drivers up to date? Could be as simple as that
everywhere, regardless of population
double check drivers then
no, actually
I'll update and see if it works
G'luck

Which is better? Pentamelded Aesthete or 510-Skybuilders tool?
probably the solution, ff14 really hates it when you have out of date drivers
aesthetite, pentamelded
could be any of 1 billion different things because everyone has their own unique pc with a ton of variables
It crashed like 4 times in a day and when I updated my drivers, fixed itself
aesthete's is more versatile in what it can be used for because of melding, but 510 skybuilders is practically the same, only with static stats
could be you have no HDD space, could be that windows is updating, could be that you have no RAM left, could be your GPU dying, could be your network
But checking drivers is a safe place to start
so, answer is just whichever one is more easy for you to get
ye
and meld ur aesthete gear around that depending on ur goal
My Sky builders tool is the 'recommended' item over aesthete, and the difference is the Skybuilders has +48 craftmanship, but 17 fewer Control, compared to Aesthete
Actually, that reminds me of a question I was gonna ask, is the 'Recommended gear' usually a good idea?
if it helps, I'm using a laptop (not the greatest quality, I know, but it ran on 60 fps on this laptop before, so ¯_(ツ)_/¯)
While levelling it's fine
generally, yes

What is CMS>?
craftsmanship, the crafter stat
Will there be an upgrade to relic tools to go along with the Endwalker push to level 90 gear?
If I'm doing dailies every day, how long does it take to level up Amal'ja?
I kinda left the beastmen quests for later, and now I've started to do them because I want that Drake mount
and new crafting/gathering gear in 6.0?
two and a half weeks if all your max allowances go to them go to them every day, for every rank
Yeah, they're pretty much the only ones I care for rn, because that mount is a need
Soon as I saw it, it was an instant want
new relic tools probably won't be in 6.0, tbf
there will be multiple new gear sets in 6.0 of course
What about gathering tools? 500 Resplendent vs 510 Skybuilders, which is better?
respledent is trivially better fully melded, but it means absolutely nothing
updating my drivers got me back up to 50! Thank you, everyone!
With new patches, do they usually make early relic tools easier? I remember reading some guides that said you need 30, and turns out I only needed 20, for ex
providing there's no changes to trained eye, the relics will be trivialized in 6.0
Looks about the same to me, maybe the supra step got a small nerf?
Hi, is there a way im missing to make chat font size larger? currently on 2560x1440
shb relics won't be "trivialized" in 6.0
is there a way or site that shows max melding stats? For example, resplendent might have 3 materia slots, but you can't meld 3 level 8 +GP materia to it because it maxes out the upgrade at 9
they'll be good until maybe level 86 or 87
I mean, their acquisition
Log details page
again, providing trained eye isn't changed
crafting the items needed for the relics will definitely be trivialized assuming trained eye works on experts
which is how the word trivalize works, really.
Is there a way to see what time it is in game? Eorzean time mean
omg why did i not clock it meant chat log.... ty dude
click on the clock to cycle the Eorzean time and real time
either click on the clock to rotate between them or go into the character config menu to enable more clocks
you can have up to 3, server/local/eorzea
Is the tether phase with Shiva in es12 an example of clock stop
Ohhh dope ty ^^
Question: Anyone need the bismarck mount? The Limitless Blue (Extreme) looking for addition players via party finder?
With the ice spears
Can you put the earrings from the irregular tomes into the armory or only the glamour chest?
all but the coblyn from the current tomestone can
🍡 thx
Oh darn it now I gotta get a Reaper glam.
Hi, Im a New player, só im wondering of there is any class with 1 second gcd insted of the 2 second
no
There's nothing that goes that fast
gcd is 2.5s for all classes
none until the late game
that's just how the game is balanced
😫
NIN and MNK eventually have a low base GCD but not 1 second
Is tether phase in es12 example of.clockstop
You'll have attacks that go between the GCDs on every class too, it doesn't stay slow forever
Yeah, eventually you'll get it lowered down at some point through gear, but at level 60~ it's still 2.34s
IT feels awfull when I try doting
At least for me
as you get more abilities it's less annoying
Fastest job is MNK which naturally sits at and below 2.00 depending on your skill speed
yeah, some don't work on the gcd
the combat is extremely slow until 50+, tbqh
most classes have very few ogcsd
ogcds*
monk probably has the fastest "typical" gcd, mch has phases with a 1.5s gcd
at 80 it feels really good tho
ninja also feels extremely fast due to its natural speed boost and various things to juggle for its burst windows
Hmm, if you mean clock spot, then no. Clock spot spread/ protean is e12s pt2 intermediate relativity, or e11s elemental break
ATM, as DRG, I have 3 offensive abilities I can use that aren't on GCD
Okay, thanks 👍
hello sorry how can i get a day in the life beyond the rift?
@honest anvil so for tether.phase how do u make it so ice shits don't hit each other?
Have fun and free for all it
Just get away from your tether then adjust
tysm!
Oh they can overlap?//@faint flare
No
Tethers are random so everyone has to be aware. From the moment tether appears til it resolves, there’s plenty of time to adjust :3
the tethers can cross each other; just no one can be hit by 2
You need to be far enough away form the icicle so the tether turns purple, but also not inline with another person
Yes samurai uses striking/Slaying gear
ok and are there ironwork accessories?
Yes in the accessory tabs
Yes...provided they're not in line with another to hit other people
o lmao didn't see there are tabs xD
And have enough shielding cause icicles hit like a fucking truck
Upgrade whatever is lowest ilvl
Is it worth it to just slap glamour on my helmet whenever I get a new one? Or should I leave the prisms for later?
Throw it into the glamour dresser to save prisms
Ahh
And make a glamour plate to link to your gear set
Free glamouring....provided you use it in a city
those 2 have unskippable cutscenes that take together like 20 mins, is there a way to bypass the scenes :x? or they exist only during roulette
Nope
No way at all
Did they annouce which armor type the reaper will be using?
Permanently unskippable
Maiming
Just gotta hope you don't get Praetorium
same as dragoon
That god damn Gaius speech... Ugh
i did in my roulette, ill just queue into castrum if it's shorter
can i do it few times over to get those 200 juicy poetics?
Just do any other lv50 dungeon for tomes
i need like 1.2k
More time efficient
You wanna do it during the roulette, for the extra bonuses
it's only 50 tomes
It also takes significantly less tkme
are the hairstyles in the irregulars rare?
compared to 200 from castrum
oh ok fair enough ill try ty
aight
TY for the glamour advice, I got my goggles now
so daily roullette for dungeons and then i procceed to spam 70 50 poetics one until i get my desired amount?
one of them was extremely expensive before hand, a rare eureka drop, the other was a bit of a hoh grind
Pretty much, at least until 60 for ARF which gives 150 tomes
so the question is if i should grind those poetics or just keep doing msqs and lvl up to 60
MSQ, you'll get armour as you level
As long as you have a weapon and a good amount of ironworks you can go
if you get bored of dungeons, beast tribes give 15x3 poetics I believe
i dont have it ulocked yet
i got a weapon chest legs and an earring
I was dumb and just bought the best gear I could, which while it does work, cost quite a lot.
So if you see a miqo'te in Ishgard, holding a cup with gil in it, spare a few lmao
You.goy the important pieces
ok so ill just keep with msq
ty
btw what are beast tribes haha
is it stormblood?
What floors are you supposed to spam in HoH to go from level 60 to 70?
@gloomy mortar
Beast tribes are like the Slyphs, and Amal'ja
i got sylphs unlocked
I went with the Amal because they have a super cool mount that I want
21 - 30
There are 14 different beast tribes @oblique glacier
You get access to the others as you play
Heavensward unlocks some, some as the others
5 in AAR, 3 in Heavensward, 3 in Stormblood, and 3 in Shadowbringers
i see that edit
yeah but you basically do errands for them every day to gain trust with them
they unlock stuff you can buy, or give exclusive rewrads like emotes or mounts
I don't think they're really a requirement, right?
Nope
The folklore tomes are only in idyllshire, the reach and eulmore?
They are side content that give neat rewards
They're just a thing you can do if you want
They don't give anything really special, aside from mounts and stuff
So you don't have to worry about cosying up with Slyphs, whether or not you do doesn't matter in the game's story
yes iirc
once you complete the appropriate .0 msq (I.e "heavensward", "Stormblood" etc) there are sundry vendors in the major cities
barring the shadowbringers zones currently, but there will be one come 6.0
er derp
folklore, not tomestones
this also applies tho to folklore tomes
since those vendors also sell scrip gear
the tomes (also that word is ruined by the currency swear to god) are bought with scrips as well right?
Does melee limit break have a range aoe like range dps?
i don't remember
yes
no, it's purely single target
if you're buying from the exchanges in rhalgr's/reach/eulmore you need to buy the tokens to exchange for them
it's the same range to cast as ur regular melee range iirc
if you're buying from the sundry reps, they're a straight scrip buy
So I have to be up close or I can lb 1 target from afar?
up close
I rarely see people use limit break, at least not in the dungeons I've been in. If they haven't used it I'll just use it at the final boss, at least it makes things quicker.
up close
melee LB is still a melee attack
ranged / magic lb is a gain on adds in dungeons more than anything so don't feel afraid to use it
Thanks ^-^
Yeah, I just figure if it's not been popped by the final boss, might as well use it rather than not.
Exactly, and if I as a DPS use it, it's helping kill him quicker
Is there a way to see sorta good rotations for classes?
I'd use the wiki, but it's honestly garbage for a lot of stuff, like some of the pages haven't been updated in a few years.
Do !faq whmguide in #kupo-bot-spam
Just substitute WHM for the job’s shorthand term
Ooh, sweeeeeeeeeet
Weskabler on youtube is also a great place for learning jobs
1-80 guides on every one
Yeah, I noticed a few YouTube vids pop up, but if you're fairly new to the whole YouTube side of the game, it's hard to tell who's actually good
also check out The Balance for an end-game assement of what a class's rotation should look like
it's link is in #resources
Definitely gonna be checking these out, but I'm gonna head off for the night
Much thanks for the help

is green loot better than bluie?
other way around
but it generally goes by ilvl, not quality
Assuming equal item level and if the items are High-Quality, they’ll have the exact same amount of stats.
Color basically only tells the kind of content it’s from

Ultimate Weapons are Purple rarity right?
just started the game, but how do classes work? are you able to kinda change to whatever one but it starts out at level 1?
Im trying to get the Kamuy of the Nine Tails, i need to get all the kamuys mounts or the mount item?
Yeah, some starts at lv 1, you can change to any job you unlocked
ahh thats dope! super indecisive so glad i can try stuff out haha
Yeah, no worry, some like me are still indecisive at end game
Is there anywhere I may find the drops for Zadnor Lockboxes?
So we change jobs every day lol
for Wonderous Tails is there a way to know what sticker is what objective
They’re blue.
Only relics are purple
https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Zadnor_Lockbox @left cypress probably not entirely complete but decent list of the items available
also its indigo star all the way down anyway
if its from akhmorning, no that opener is fine
Does it really change if u do that or blizzard 3/4 starter
the differences in the openers is basically based on what your spell speed is at
Ouch
the top of the article even lists the recommended openers for the various spell speed levels
No I read that
JP opener is if you have godlike ping and very high SPS
But most operns I seen always did blizzard 3/4
But all their openers basically perform the same
use the opener with the spell speed with you have and do your standard rotation from there
Just gotta make sure to not pick one above your SPS
the issue doing an opener starting with blizzard 3, is that you require a polyglot stack to be available in UI after your opener, for a second filler spell. At higher spellspeed, this becomes impossible without waiting
so instead of doing that, you can go with the mod JP or JP opener, depending on your sps
which instead uses the thundercloud proc as the second filler cast
How the fk do u get 3000 spell speed bis I'm assuming?
correct
bis gears towards it while maximizing other stats
3600 I'm saying
same with 3600
game still downloading so im back with soem more questions
though that's more of getting gear with a bunch of sps + melding sps to it on top of it
bis just happens to be the most optimized stats that also happens to have 3600 sps
you could sacrifice a few stats for sps but that is also why the other openers exist
what does end game look like, becuase theres no stats or gear grinding for anything other than stats what do you do in end game, im mostly a pvp type of guy but is pve interesting or fun
Welp 2500 sps it is for now
2500 sps is plenty fine, you're in the range of doing mod JP for an opener
Endgame fights are basically a giant dance to memorize and adjust to.
another thing is i mean it seems like sometimes the game focuses a lot on story, i mean is the story fun enough to be satisfying on its own. i feel like as long as the story feels really good i wont mind other stuff not to be of my liking,
i mean thats like every raid boss isnt it?
Pretty much, yes. Most have a few degrees of randomness but nothing drastic.
So fights are pretty easily charted out on a timetable.
i mean tbh my idea of an mmo everyone hates
but the way ff does things for story seems better than most mmos
And yeah the story holds up pretty well on its own past the early story that’s somewhat acts more like an MMO tutorial
the complexity of the game comes from mastering your job and adapting to different fights
you're given a tool and you're supposed to get really good at using it
tho again everyone hates that idea in their mmo
again, more of a pvp guy just wanted to know what pve looks like
pvp is not a focus of this game
ik
majority of content is pve
but its there
wow doesnt focus pvp
but its there
i mean is the que times bad?
Ye, there's a niche crowd that enjoys PvP. You may as well look into it.
i mean as long as it doesnt take 3 mins for a que with a full team, pvp is good
Queues are pretty bad outside of prime time, for the most part
Events, evening times when folks are on, etc.
and is it hard to team up with randos for pvp
or is it like wow where everyone is a baby when it comes to team building
I haven't played much PvP, but I assume 10m+ is on the good end of queue times..?
and you sit there for 5 horus apply for one game
i mean how long does one pvp match take
if a pvp match can be over in 5 mins
or below
and it takes 10 mins
thats bad
Usually around 10-15 minutes unless it’s a landslide
hm ok
They’re large-scale games of 24v24v24 for the main mode that most people play
oh
There's also 4v4 PvP.
But newbies get crushed in those.
frankly, pvp is really no more than a side activity, it shouldn't be something you come in and expect to exclusively play
especially since ranked pvp is being put on the backburner for a long while
how bad are those que times
pretty meh
i like arenas a lot in wow 4v4 seems like that, 24 seems like fun but not all the time
even at prime time you're likely going to be waiting quite a bit
the 4v4 mode is shit but it has good cosmetics
Basically a case of “play at prime time or suffer”
the prime time for that mode is just the week after a new season drops
and then everyone stops once they get into the top 100
The #archived-player-vs-player channel has a bunch of PVP dedicated discords with players running “revival” events to keep the queue healthy for some of the less popular modes.
ill have to go there then
party finder
So I’m trying to create a character on a server to play with friends and I’m getting the “characters cannot be created on this server at this time” message. Should I just keep trying for awhile or Is this a permanent lock for right now?
I can't find the tab, have I missed something?
so after doing a good amount of leveling roulette as healer, I really do feel like a healer's priority should be healing
is this wrong? cuz a lot of info online says its dps
scholar btw
Priority in what sense?
i.e. if i'm not spamming heal of cd my undergerared tank is gonna die LOL
If nothing is in immediate need of healing to not die, then dps
You should heal if someone needs healing, but you should always be hitting your damage spells in the meantime
the priority is to keep people alive. But the strength of heals, especially when leveling, is a lot stronger in comparison to the lower damage that people are taking
Unless the tank is really undergeared there shouldn't be a situation where they will die without heals being spammed on them
you end up not needing to heal much, and can focus more on dps with the occasional heal. It's pretty rare to be in a situation that you need to spam heal
well in lower level content (30-40) it seems like they take a lot of damage
it happens during peak hours when a lot of people are logged on, try making a character early in the morning/late at night
Stone Vigil (41) is a bit of an outlier as far as damage from trash is concerned
Especially as a scholar, since the fairy is extremely powerful until when you get Aetherflow
that's about the range where you can feel it a bit more if gear isn't up to par, both on your end as healer and the tank end, and if they're not using cooldowns
still shouldn't get to the point of having to spam heals (you don't have to keep them topped off, just alive)
but yeah
@heavy wadi thanks! Guess I’m not gonna get to start tonight or at least any time soon then
but the other 30-40 dungeons? usually not a ton of damage going out
sch is pretty powerful, especially with the fairy since it's a persistent regen effect
ya my heals are pretty decent but its the tanks that are taking a lot of dmg during big pulls
Check if they're using mitigation
And play hot and cold with their HP
Give them a pulse, but don't let them die
usually when i see "first time" ive got my finger on the heal ready lol
it can also just kinda take a bit of practice to get used to things, how much damage people can safely take, when you need to step in for more healing, etc
i have no issue when the tanks are clearly vets
it doesn't hurt to lean a bit more into healing if you're not feeling as comfortable/confident, but it's definitely still more of the norm when you're in the swing of things to still focus dps more in majority of situations
better to keep people alive than not, but don't get stuck in that full heal mindset either, kind of thing
ya im trying to dps as much as i can
Question from a new player, I want to eventually play the Samuari class, What prerequisites do i need to meet?
own shadowbringers and be lvl 50
Don't develop bad habits where you start healing an extra time "just because"
i think once i get some spell speed too it should be better?
get to level 50, own shb
casting ruin 1 feels bad lol
secondary stats won't really make much of a difference especially when leveling
it's really all on main stat and weapon damage
secondary stats are rather minor in comparison
if i prepurchase endwalkers do i get all dlc assiociated? or i have to do both?
you get all when endwalker releases
i need help
i can't find the samurai instructor
:((((((((((
i did the first quest
and now im at the lvl for the 2nd one
but i can't find the guy anywhere
I'm making a text meme for my FC, how the fuck do you spell roegadyn
roegadyn is correct
Nice.
is there no quest indicated under the main scenario quest tracker?
what kind of rewards does eureka give
cosmetics entirely at this point, along with potential stuff to sell gil
Stormblood relic, some minions, some mounts, some glam, a hairstyle, all kinds of stuff
it has the relic quests, unique emotes / hairs / valuables / minions, and the blessed ORB

Is there a free chocobo stable that i can use to rank up my birdy? Or do i need to own one
FC house may have one too
do u think i would be able to find a party
never
or is it a waste of time and i should go to sleep
moogle mog out of ur reach
It's 4 am in EU, so the wait might be a bit ehh
it's pretty off-hours for EU currently
ill give it 10 more mins
thanks
anyone willing to help? or must i use duty finder for it to complete the msq
Should fill in 10 more min
You can do it unsync
if it goes past 30 then yeah skip
Maybe, but how do people help, just queue?
Oh yeah! People can help by unsynced it lol
it removes the level downsync
Basically lv 80 player faceroll it for you
Without the level being dropped to 50
ie level 80 people will be level 80 instead of 50 in level 50 stuff
make my dream come true
No one in the chat currently is on Chaos
im on light
You have the chaos role, but same deal for light
definitely would give it 10 more minutes, else turn ur sights to something else
maybe side stuff, level up a class
could just do that while waiting
Musosai can be found in the Quicksand... after you best his trial in the Gladiator's Guild.
ye i found it
ye that's what im doing
we need 2 tanks 2 healers and 2 dps
ye it full party
Full parties are 2/2/4 but then I saw the pic.
Does Sylkis Bud permanently increase Chocobo attack?
no, don't remember if its for the duration of the summon or if it has its own timer
but you have to feed it everytime you summon your chocobo
relic is budget
it's a huge time investment for literally bis
don't have to spend a single cent in bozja even if it's suboptimal
literally the most budget u can get
Yeah... it's mostly the time investment for relic don't feel budget...
I'm more thinking about budget in time investment
oh if you consider time then yes
diamond weapon is the highest you can get, like, quickly
Yeah, 530 weapon is Rev, which is totally not worth it
you can't get the 530 weapon upgrade material w/o savage anyway
Another "budget" option is e12s weapon... which is, assuming you can farm it consistently and win rolls lol
Ahh
yeah i was gonna meme and say e12s would be the quickest budget if you're just godly at the game with a static and just clear it asap
and yeah, obviously e12s is free if you can do it.
lol
but that's not exactly realistic if you're asking the question as is
Yeah, I'm thinking about how to gear up my GNB
outside of savage content, which is what one would rapidly gear for..
diamond weapon's the way to go
Since in PF, Tanks are super previliged
520 exarchic or 525 diamond if you have the gear for taht
It's already 520 GNB... so I guess not much else I can do
Just invest more rel and eden loot to gear up
are you pfing for savage? if so 520 should be fine
Yeah
