[shut panther]

what are the 3 rewards that's referring to, anyway

coin, armor, and..?

[glossy flare]

any piece of gear you win the roll for

[shut panther]

that's what I meant

by armor

[glossy flare]

oh wait you already said armor 😄

[crystal bluff]

Coin, equipment, cluster? I think?

[glossy flare]

then the materia thingy

the cluster

[shut panther]

oh, cluster

completely irrelevant item that I forgot even came from that xd

[glossy flare]

not like anyone lacks clusters

[gritty oracle]

Which beast tribes have Triple Triad fights that are unlocked by taking them to Bloodsworn?

[opaque fiber]

Nobody knows a fix to the sound issue? please

[glossy flare]

I once had no game sound but a restart fixed that

other than that I'm stumped

[opaque fiber]

ahh ok ty

I'll restart later, since talking with someone

[dire reef]

does moogle tomestones end at weekly reset?

[warm snow]

Yes

[dire reef]

so ive got 24 hours+ more, thats nice

[warm snow]

41

[faint flare]

Remember you can't exchange after the eve t

So spend prior

[warm snow]

Give or take

[dire reef]

oh we cant spend after?

[warm snow]

Not these ones

Cuz fan fest event

[dire reef]

what is limited other than ring of ronga?

[magic light]

fairly irrelevant, how do i increase squadron battle tactics

[warm snow]

The earrings are from old art contests so they likely won't be around again for a very long time

[faint flare]

Rng on dungeon completion

[dire reef]

earings are cheap so thats nice

[celest snow]

what materia is good for tanks?

[dire reef]

iirc its max out on crit then DH for most of them?

Can I get a second opinion?

[warm snow]

Anything that's meld able until end game

It really doesn't matter that much

[faint flare]

Sks to specific gcd tier > crit > dh (ignore if warrior) > det > everything else

[boreal storm]

Get Taoist moogle because like moogle minions are impossible to get for free

[celest snow]

i feel dumb for not understanding majority of that sentence

[shut panther]

sks to a specific gcd tier means

[faint flare]

It's the priority list

[shut panther]

there's certain gcd points

that work well for different classes rotations

because they line up cooldowns neatly, for example

[faint flare]

Tanks want a specific gcd to hit a specific number of hits under their respective buffs

Like 5 fell cleaves

Or 5 bloodspillers

[boreal storm]

Skill speed > crit > direct hit (non-WAR)> determination > the rest

[vital ruin]

i need to get the mog items before daily reset right?

[faint flare]

Weekly reset

[vital ruin]

ohhh

[faint flare]

7:59am on Monday pdt

[celest snow]

so as a tank i should prioritise skill speed?

[slate spindle]

Only to a particular build point, not full sks

[faint flare]

Only to a specific point

[vital ruin]

isn't that daily reset

[faint flare]

Usually around 2.4 or 2.38s

[vital ruin]

weekly is Tuesday

[faint flare]

Daily reset is much later

[celest snow]

so far i've mostly picked up materia that give determination from the msq.

[vital ruin]

for me that's 8:59 sunday so :/

[faint flare]

You'll get a ton of materia at 80 so

It's literally thrown at yoy

[celest snow]

ok, so i shouldn't have to worry about materia right now. currently lvl 60 almost

[faint flare]

Yes

It's useless until cap basically

[slate spindle]

It's generally a max level concern

[faint flare]

Cause it's turned off when synced

Which will happen often to you

[slate spindle]

There's some exceptions, but those won't matter when you're progressing through the story still

[celest snow]

ok, glad to hear.

[tough solar]

Hi! I just finished the ARR MSQ and am wondering if I'd like playing another job more. I'm lvl ~55 so I know I have a lot more to learn about the BLM job and the game, but is now a good opportunity to try another job out? Or is it generally recommended to stick it out til I finish the MSQs first?

[faint flare]

It doesn't really matter when you swap

[slate spindle]

All on your own goals and what you want to do

If you want to get to end game sooner, stick with the one job. If you want to take your time, see if you enjoy something more, dabble around some

[celest snow]

i swapped to dark knight after playing paladin for about 100 hours

[faint flare]

You're always gonna have armoury bonus to help you catch up

[celest snow]

and i was lvl 55 exactly

[slate spindle]

Armoury's a good incentive to focus max level sooner, yeah

[simple nymph]

so i'm doing the anima relic sht, arent blue scrips the easiest way to get crystal sand or is it something else?

[gritty oracle]

I'm on my way to unlock the qitary beats tribe, and I just got the ronka minion, but I see no blue quests on the map. How do I proceed?

[simple nymph]

i dont have my beast tribes levelled up so that one's not as easy for me

[honest anvil]

buy the primal stuff from mb

then exchange

they are decently cheap on my server at least

[tough solar]

thx!

[simple nymph]

@honest anvil you mean the inferno horn crag heart diamond tear stuff

[honest anvil]

yes

[twilit arch]

are you on a gatherer?

[simple nymph]

ty!

[gritty oracle]

Nope, but I just changed to fisher and found a blue quest. Thanks!

[boreal storm]

But blue scrips are extremely easy to do as a second option

[stray mason]

Whats the best way to level my dark knight to 50? Is just doing leveling roulettes a good way?

[faint flare]

!faq altlvlguide

[zinc orbit]

Leveling Guide for Alt jobs 🍻

Level 1 to 70 in five days (Stormblood)

[faint flare]

You don't spam roulettes

[boreal storm]

And the highest non-cap dungeon possible

[faint flare]

They're a daily thing

[leaden ginkgo]

Question for controller users, do you swap action palletes at all? Like your main bars? Or do you just use the 32 and the cross-bars? I'd like to continue using controller but if I need to switch mid combat it feels a tad clunk

[faint flare]

No

The expanded and wxhb hotbars mean you don't need to

That's like 40 abilities right there, 3 hotbars with easy access

[simple nymph]

i use the toggles on r and l triggers to pull up additional hotbars, i dont ever really run out of buttons to place things

there's 3 additional hotbars between those 2 and r+l makes a 3rd

so 4 x 16 buttons total in combat easy to use buttons

[violet grove]

Guys my mouse button 5 doesn't work and idk how to fix. I need it for a keybind

I literally have everything set up but that one button is annoying me

[leaden ginkgo]

and this is why I use my 1 - = number keys for abilities.
Don't we have a #technology-discussion channel?

[violet grove]

Oh thanks

I'm new here still

[topaz vine]

how do you check the glamour pieces on someone?

[leaden ginkgo]

Examine them as you usually would, hover over piece of gear, wait a sec.

[gritty oracle]

Examine and hover the piece. The tooltip will switch between the actual gear and the glam

[topaz vine]

oh ty

[stable grail]

does it matter in what order you penta meld?

[glossy flare]

not really

chances are slim either way

[hoary citrus]

Does the Kugane Scaevan vendor unlock upon reaching 70, or upon completing 4.0 MSQ?

[glossy flare]

the latter

[hoary citrus]

Dang they really making noobs go fight Royal Menagerie in 290 still :/ KK thanks

[nocturne hinge]

ok so like data centers

im in cali where would that be for me

[leaden ginkgo]

Atleast you actually HAVE your Relic Gear unlike SO MANY PEOPLE.

[glossy flare]

you'd probably have the best connection in any of the NA data centers

[quick pawn]

is there any fc group finder or something?

[glossy flare]

there is no south american one sadly

[leaden ginkgo]

Hello all, very old FFXIV player coming back after not playin since realm reborn and not sure what server to pick I am in N.A on the east coast and enjoy RP as well as end game content. Can someone please lend a hand?

[glossy flare]

I think Balmung is the rp hub?

which would be on crystal

[leaden ginkgo]

Isn't it a very heavy server though?

[glossy flare]

From what I hear it is pretty well populated but that's not necessarily a bad thing

I'm just saying, afaik if you want rp you want Balmung

[leaden ginkgo]

Crystal is the DC you wanna be in for RP, but may I recommend Mateus or Balmung to get a community that focuses on that part of the game?

Just ignore all the brothels.

[oak arch]

I have a question, I accidentally destroyed all my BSM hammers and now am unsure of where to get another one im low level

[glossy flare]

buy one from a vendor, or from the market board

vendor would be cheaper

[oak arch]

grand ill have a look

[leaden ginkgo]

Rp is secondary for me.

[oak arch]

ahh dont mind price should be charged for being an idiot

[glossy flare]

in that case any of the NA worlds

[heavy wadi]

Crystal is generally the RP/casual DC, there's still a lot of raiding that goes on here

[glossy flare]

in terms of connection it doesn't matter, all NA data centers are in the same physical location

[leaden ginkgo]

okay, cool thanks for the help! 🙂

also played wow for a long time and its been very unsatisfying the past few years.

[nocturne hinge]

oh btw can you change the characters race and clan/ appearance later in the game or is it permanent and or a paid service

[patent citrus]

at the end of ARR, you will be given 1 pcs of Fantasia potion

[heavy wadi]

after that it's paid

[patent citrus]

it's a quest reward

[heavy wadi]

10 usd per

[nocturne hinge]

10 isnt bad

but yeah would like to race change later so

[heavy wadi]

you do get the option to change your hair, tattoos/face markings and other things in game though

[nocturne hinge]

at least its free

once

im guessing the starting stats dont really matter in the end

[patent citrus]

only aesthetic

[nocturne hinge]

like the other things whatnot

[glossy flare]

nothing except your starting class matters

and even that you can change later

what does the crown on top of sprouts mean?

[nocturne hinge]

what is the most fun class to start as, thinking between pugilist and lancer

[glossy flare]

returner status

[heavy wadi]

subjective

[glossy flare]

they stopped playing for a while and are back now

[leaden ginkgo]

Hi guys. Is there an updated guide for completion of the free trials? I saw one from reddit but it was over a year ago.

I am LOVING the game so far having played multiple offline titles. I plan to buy/sub but I hope to clear all the free stuff first. TIA

[fading aurora]

Just play what seems cooler to you and if you dont like it just change class later on

[still roost]

anyone willing to help me out havent played for a while the game and i m kinda confused "alot"

[fading aurora]

U will eventually level all of them sooo

Confused about what

[still roost]

i mean havent played for 2 years i had to go to the army and now i m like a total noob

[leaden ginkgo]

Thanks. I was hoping there was an updated list. The one on reddit is already but I would guess it is now outdated

Level 1 to 70 in five days (Stormblood)

[fading aurora]

Paragon out typing me again

Smh

[modest igloo]

MSQ first, leveling dungeons after that

[leaden ginkgo]

Btw how do you level other jobs once you exhaust the MSQ

[modest igloo]

.

[leaden ginkgo]

Does the MSQ reset when you change jobs on tje same cjaracyer?

[fading aurora]

Follow the level guide that paragon linked

[leaden ginkgo]

Stroke

[fading aurora]

It does not

[modest igloo]

MSQ is one and done

[leaden ginkgo]

Ahhh so leves

[modest igloo]

no

[leaden ginkgo]

And other stuff

[modest igloo]

i just linked that guide

[fading aurora]

Since you play all classes on one character you only have 1 msq the only way you would get the msq again is if you started a completely new character

[leaden ginkgo]

Yup. Thanks for the guide!!

Im really excited

Steam says 30 hours already lol

Ive been playing a lot

I just got to 42 today and got my behemoth mount

[fading aurora]

It gets easier to level tour alta because you get the armory buff which increases xp the further your main class is ahead in level than your alt

Your*

Auto correct messed up so many words

Oh wel

[leaden ginkgo]

Are there any sea players here

I know I still have a LOT to finish before buying

But the main game is still not on my steam

Not available in my regiob

I went to the website and theres an option to buy with credit card

[modest igloo]

i think you have to just make up an address for that

[leaden ginkgo]

$60 for the ehole package

[still roost]

is palace of the dead still good ?

[fading aurora]

If you were able to get the trial on steam the game should be there 2

[quick pawn]

for lvling at palace do u think i should go whit a group or can i go by my self?

[patent citrus]

would recommend facebook group around your area

[fading aurora]

The website and steam versions are 2 different ones and u cant mix and match them

[patent citrus]

since SEA area aren't supported, so have to ask people who live in your country

[leaden ginkgo]

I can launch the real game with the free trial launcher?

[modest igloo]

only if your dungeon ques are 15+ mins long

[modest igloo]

with a group

[patent citrus]

like which region did they register with etc

[leaden ginkgo]

Great tip. Thanks. Will try that. Cross the bridge when I get there

Is it considered rude to help people kill stuff? If you just come across someone attacking stuff in the open world should you not help them?

Idk if this is popular in the Philippines tho

[fading aurora]

Why would it be

[leaden ginkgo]

Ill just search

[fading aurora]

It helps them do msq faster

Most of the mobs they have spawned are from quests

[leaden ginkgo]

Idk does it take xp from them or something?

No

[fading aurora]

No

[leaden ginkgo]

Only first hitter gets everything

[quick pawn]

aww idk how ima find ppl for do that dun i has no friends

[shut panther]

neither rude nor expected

[leaden ginkgo]

I saw it from the pop up lol

Cause when I first started early last week I thought it to be bad form or "crashing"

[patent citrus]

https://www.facebook.com/groups/ffxivphilippines/ probably?

[leaden ginkgo]

Pop up tutorial

[patent citrus]

seems very active, open group

[leaden ginkgo]

But then I quickly got over it cause it just seemed like people wanted to help the noobie healer kill stuffs

[leaden ginkgo]

Fast. Nice. Will try that

[patent citrus]

join there and ask around how people in area register for the game

[leaden ginkgo]

Should someone mention that a SEA data center is coming soon?

[fading aurora]

When i did msq some guy helped me kill my monsters and i helped him kills his, people appreciate it when you help them lol

Makes things a lot faster

[patent citrus]

OCE, not SEA

[leaden ginkgo]

Oop

Okay mmy mistake.

Thanks guys. Im just really excited. Its been years since my last mmo. And i just got a gaming pc a while bacj

Ya I just helped someone earlier and he said please don't kill my mobs so made me think I did something wrong.

[modest igloo]

welcome! It's a fantastic time to join in, i hope you like iT!

[autumn acorn]

does region/server matter too much? idk anyone that plays yet

[patent citrus]

if he personally asked you to not do it, just don't do it

[autumn acorn]

can i swap easily or are characters server locked

[leaden ginkgo]

I am! Haha i played 10 hours today ,🤣

Though work tomorrow. Cant wait on weekends!!!

[modest igloo]

you can't swap between them, but all server are active and friendly to all types of players

since everything is done cross-DC

[autumn acorn]

i see

[fading aurora]

Are there any expensive mounts people farm apart from the night pegasus for 8 mil gil?

[modest igloo]

i think there's one in HOH, and back in 5.45 the Gabriel mark III was lik 15 mil, now down to 2-3

[fading aurora]

Ive seen a lot of mounts that were high in price and now they float around 150k-3m

Are they that common now

[copper hound]

are Fcs dataserver based or only per server?

[modest igloo]

server only

[modest igloo]

lots of people farmed them, so now theres more supply and less demand

[slate arrow]

no

[faint flare]

On 1 character

[autumn acorn]

oh that's nice, i tend to be very indecisive

[fading aurora]

As long as you’re not in combat or inside a instance u can swap when ever u want

[autumn acorn]

i'm kinda stuck between paladin, scholar and bard

and warrior

[slate arrow]

why not do all of them then

[fading aurora]

^

[autumn acorn]

damn that's nice

[modest igloo]

I'd say start a a bard and then just pick up what you want and level on the side

[fading aurora]

You listed 2 tanks a healer and a dps

[autumn acorn]

although i'm going go go out on a limb and guess queue times when you're DPS are longer

[modest igloo]

MSQ takes a job from 1-cap no problem

yeah, 10-15 mins

[fading aurora]

They are because more people play dps

Healers and tanks have almost instant ques

[topaz vine]

i have been nonstop queueing in dungeons while leveling a healer alt

[fading aurora]

In the late hours of the evening tanks might have to wait like 1 minute for que but healer always have instant ques no matter when u play

[autumn acorn]

nice, might go for healer then

i've never been a big fan of pure dps but the bard is always my go to in these games (mainly 5e)

[slate arrow]

What are you looking for out of a bard?

[modest igloo]

all DPS are more or less pure DPS characters

damage is important on every class

[slate arrow]

You won't be playing support 90% of the time

No job does that. Not even healers.

[autumn acorn]

i mean, in 5th edition they have a bunch of spells, anything from utility to buffs to damage so they can be pretty versatile

[modest igloo]

bard has a few of them, but it's still mostly DPS

[faint flare]

Every dps is pure damage

[slate arrow]

Bard does have a decent support kit, but it's all situational, especially with FFXIV's combat design.

[faint flare]

Some just have party buffs

[fading aurora]

Dps also depends on the player and how they do the dmg not your class, for example samurai is one of the best dps but a good bard or dancer can out dps them

It all depends on you

[autumn acorn]

hmm

[slate arrow]

Even dancer, which is the "support" DPS is still focused on damage

[autumn acorn]

do i have access to all classes out of the box?

[faint flare]

Not all

[fading aurora]

No

[slate arrow]

"no"

[faint flare]

On trial

[fading aurora]

Some are locked behind levela

[autumn acorn]

trial yea

[fading aurora]

Levels*

[modest igloo]

only 10 out of the 17

[faint flare]

You miss 4 jobs on trial

[autumn acorn]

i mean money not levels

[slate arrow]

The way classes work is that everything is character based

You don't unlock new classes and roll a new toon

You just do the unlock quest and equip the weapon and boom

new class

Expansion jobs start at 30, 50, and 60 respectively per expansion introduced

[fading aurora]

And next expansion we will have 2 starting at 70

[shut panther]

full version is required for red mage, samurai, gunbreaker and dancer

[fading aurora]

It goes on like that

[shut panther]

further you'll need endwalker for the upcoming sage and reaper

[slate arrow]

The 30 jobs are locked behind Story. Namely, after you start Heavensward. Which are Machinist, Astrolgian, and Dark Knight

[autumn acorn]

so if i'm getting this right you have an archetype like "mage" or smth, and then that splits off into something more specific as levels go higher

[slate arrow]

no

[faint flare]

Each class goes into its respective job

[shut panther]

that's.. sort of how it used to work, but at this point the distinction between class and job is completely meaningless

[faint flare]

And only that job

[shut panther]

marauders become warriors, full stop

[faint flare]

(arcanist goes into two cause special)

[slate arrow]

classes always advance into one job, except for Arcanist, which will forever be the only exception

[pine kindle]

SO um why cant i dune fish?

[slate arrow]

Do your fisher quests

[faint flare]

Do your job quests

[pine kindle]

thats wht im tying to do they want em to dune fish but game wont let me

[autumn acorn]

so if i wanted to play astrologian, i can do that? getting major wizard vibes

[faint flare]

Yes

[autumn acorn]

nice

[faint flare]

It's part of heavensward

[autumn acorn]

i think i'll go for that to negate q times

[pine kindle]

they want em to get a desert catfish

[slate arrow]

You just need any job at 50 + access to Ishgard from Heavensward

[shut panther]

you can't play astrologian from the start

[modest igloo]

AST unlocks about 60 hours in

[shut panther]

you need to complete arr first

[autumn acorn]

oh shit

[modest igloo]

after doing all MSQ from 2.0-2.56

[autumn acorn]

so what do i pick before that

[faint flare]

Any

[fading aurora]

What ever u like

[slate arrow]

/shrug

[autumn acorn]

ooooooooh

[fading aurora]

There is no base requirement

[autumn acorn]

i can play anything anything

[modest igloo]

conjuerer is the only healer you can start as

[slate arrow]

yes

[boreal storm]

And cnj is very simple

[slate arrow]

Expansion jobs have no prereqs besides any job at the level unlock

The class system is just a holdover from 1.0

[autumn acorn]

another thing

[pine kindle]

@slate arrow is there like a sertain spot i haver to go to dune fish?

[autumn acorn]

i've never really played mmorpg like this before so you can guess my skill sucks in that regard

how worried do i have to be about getting gud

[modest igloo]

FFXIV is extremely noob friendly

[jade quartz]

Yes of course, you must go to the correct fishing spot like any other fishing.

[slate arrow]

Your fishing log should give you a good spot. It can be kinda finicky to get a hook location though

[modest igloo]

this game holds your hand for a good chunk of time

[boreal storm]

I think you have to fish over a cliff in the desert

[pine kindle]

thats what im looking for but no mater where i go nothing

[modest igloo]

you never have to do raiding stuff if you dont want to

[boreal storm]

Been a while since I did that quest

[fading aurora]

If u play the class from the start and dont boost you will learn it along the way , there are also YouTube videos made by weskalber where he explains every skill on every class in detail from 1-80

[autumn acorn]

every skill?

[fading aurora]

Yes

[autumn acorn]

on every level?

[leaden ginkgo]

Wesk is muh boi. His paladin video made me feel comfy enough to finally the game

[modest igloo]

yep

[slate arrow]

every major new button yes

[modest igloo]

every single one

[autumn acorn]

god damn

[modest igloo]

he's great, and super easy to understand

[boreal storm]

If you’re gonna do a guide, you better do it well

[leaden ginkgo]

He doesn't go into depth on role actions, but I believe he has a separate video for them?

[glossy flare]

he does, yes

[leaden ginkgo]

But for actual skills per job, yes

[modest igloo]

yeah most role actions are meh outside a few select ones

[slate arrow]

Role actions doesn't really fit into the job kit because they're role actions

[modest igloo]

or self-explanatory

[leaden ginkgo]

I know, haha

[glossy flare]

would be redundant to go over role actions for each job

though to be fair, some jobs may have unique interactions with them

[leaden ginkgo]

But yeah. Also, I forget if free trial players can use the chat, but it never hurts to say that you're new

[autumn acorn]

i think i'll go for healer first, and if i don't like that i'll stick to tank

[fading aurora]

Ye but that isn’t really the point of the guide i guess

[slate arrow]

Say, but that's about it

[fading aurora]

Its more to help people understand job skills

[boreal storm]

Like tanks getting a slightly better arms length

[slate arrow]

Oh, there is novice network and linkshells if you get invited

[fading aurora]

Can free trial players join the novice network?

[shut panther]

wait, how is tank arm's length better?

[slate arrow]

It isn't.

[glossy flare]

it's not

though the slow effect when getting hit is arguably way more useful on a tank

[autumn acorn]

i guess i'll see for myself when the game finishes downloading

[glossy flare]

but the skill is the same

[slate arrow]

It just has a decent sub use as a tank migitation cooldown for mob pulls due to the slow effect it applies

Yes

[autumn acorn]

is there some sort of practice area i can try everything out at my own pace? kinda like mhw

[fading aurora]

A target dummy

[slate arrow]

there's training dummies all over the place

[leaden ginkgo]

There are training dummies

[autumn acorn]

yea that

[fading aurora]

Most places have them

[modest igloo]

msq will give you more than enough time to mess around

[boreal storm]

I thought the slow effect was just for tanks, My bad

[shut panther]

trust me when I say this, the game is not high pressure

[slate arrow]

The first major outpost you'll go to from your city state will always have a few

[modest igloo]

most people aren't lvl 80 until like 100 hours into the game

[leaden ginkgo]

This so much

[autumn acorn]

the closest thing i've played to an mmorpg is mhw and i've taken my sweet old time with that, so yea i think i'll be right at home in that regard

[slate arrow]

For the most part the regular punishment for messing up in a fight is usually a death or a wipe. It happens all the time, so don't worry about dying too much

[shut panther]

you will be downright coddled for hours, and slightly less so for literal days of play time

[leaden ginkgo]

Also, you wanna try paladin? Bro. That was my first job, forever main. It's so great, even tho I wish some things were different

[modest igloo]

take your time, the game isn't going anywhere. have fun!

[fading aurora]

Since you are new and you said u wanted to play a healer make sure to tell the tank how comfortable u are with pulls because some tanks pull everything without asking which can be overwhelming for newer healers

[autumn acorn]

pull?

take the aggro i'm guessing

[glossy flare]

yup

[fading aurora]

Yes

[autumn acorn]

nice

[slate arrow]

aggro in this game is very simple

[leaden ginkgo]

Pretty sure Yoshi-P has even said that you can play the game at your own pace, leave for a bit if you wanna, then come back. Low pressure, plenty to do

[glossy flare]

pulling mobs as in pulling them all together in one place so they are easy to target

[slate arrow]

All tanks have a tank stance which multiplies aggro generation by like, 10 times

[leaden ginkgo]

Tanking is pretty easy, too

[autumn acorn]

nice, the last thing i want is the game to force me to play (especially considering the subscription if i do go down that route)

[slate arrow]

so don't worry about accidentally pulling aggro via overhealing or overdps

[split briar]

anyway to switch off jiggle animation for boobs in females in FFXIV?

[leaden ginkgo]

The free trial lets you play base game and 1st expansion (Heavensward). Can all availabale jobs up to that point to level 60. Plenty of content to do in that span

[split briar]

does it go away with armor?

[autumn acorn]

one last thing before i go: is the game podcast friendly? have something in the backround while i play

[fading aurora]

Oh yeh doesn’t regen produce agro?

[split briar]

it's extremely annoying and silly

[jade quartz]

Yes

[slate arrow]

Most content yes

[split briar]

heavy or light armor?

[warm snow]

Closest thing to that is housing timer, you need to enter your house every 45 days or bye bye

[boreal storm]

The last dungeon of 2.0 is very podcast friendly

[slate arrow]

Especially with crafting and gathering

[warm snow]

That is if you even get a house tho

[jade quartz]

Also there’s not much particularly noticeable jiggle unless you’re like a female Roegadyn

[primal ermine]

all healing produce aggro

[warm snow]

Iirc apartments don't have timers

[leaden ginkgo]

This

[autumn acorn]

i know housing in mmos is very late game and very expensive so i won't even bother

[slate arrow]

"basic" housing is pretty cheap

[split briar]

I am female human selected 40 bust size and sill silly looking

like they are made of jelly

[slate arrow]

now actually owning a plot is the hard part

[jade quartz]

Armour that has a solid plate that would realistically prevent it from happening.

[slate arrow]

But you will always have the ability to buy an apartment

[warm snow]

Just be a guy

[split briar]

what about artifact armor?

[warm snow]

Problem solved

[warm snow]

Depends on the armor

[glossy flare]

depends on the armor

[jade quartz]

.

[autumn acorn]

nice, i'll probably be opting in and out of here a lot when the game is up

[fading aurora]

What if i want boobs on my guy

[split briar]

guys are ok but look silly AF in majority of caster gear

[autumn acorn]

thanks everyone for taking the time to answer questions

[leaden ginkgo]

Lower bust size. But don't worry, many tops cover boobs completely and hide jiggle physics

[warm snow]

I'm sure there's a mod for that

[split briar]

nice thanks

[leaden ginkgo]

Male Viera coming soon

[jade quartz]

Out of curiosity do you play with an uncapped framerate?

[fading aurora]

Oh no now im imagining a massive AU RA with a big package

[slate arrow]

[fading aurora]

What have u done kat

[warm snow]

Honestly character physics like hair etc. Feel super exaggerated in the character creator as opposed to actually in game

[split briar]

I play at 60

[jade quartz]

Framerate can affect the display of that a lot due to how the physics are created

Like, I’ve never experienced anything that’s as ridiculous as you’re describing in my game

[slate arrow]

Also, you can disable character physics iirc

[split briar]

I was wearing human racial armor, gonna tryout some WHM artifact armor

[warm snow]

Whm artifact armor is a cloak I doubt it has jiggle physics

[split briar]

yeah else being a guy is the only way lol

[warm snow]

Especially the arr artifact armor

[leaden ginkgo]

o/ Have fun. If you're playing with the intent to enjoy the story, be warned that it can be a slog in the beginning, but gets so much better. Folks meme the "CRITICALLY ACCLAIMED" and "award-winning" thing a lot, but the game really does become special

[glossy flare]

all of the whm sets are pretty modest in that regard

[warm snow]

Gear from arr and hw lacks good capes cuz they were building for ps3

[fading aurora]

Ive never really noticed my characters bust before because when u walk they face away from You

[heavy wadi]

just lower your bust size? ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[slate arrow]

*reused 1.0 assets

[fading aurora]

Do you walk backwards

[split briar]

still they jiggle

[fading aurora]

Or something

[heavy wadi]

not.... really?

all my charas are flat chested, don't notice any jiggle at all

[split briar]

I think I will go back to my guy and be a Paladin or something in Endwalker

[slate arrow]

It's only a problem if you get past 60fps which it sounds like you did

[leaden ginkgo]

If that works for you, go for it

[jade quartz]

This game doesn’t really support capes. Starting in Stormblood they started making some gear pieces that cheat in a cape by having it use animation bones that are usually used for the backs of skirts and robes, though it doesn’t really behave like you’d expect a cape to at all times (the top half is practically glued to your back)

[leaden ginkgo]

If you wanna be "pretty" without any boobs, then male Viera (the bunny race) is coming some time in the next expansion

[split briar]

when will we the benchmark release for EW?

and all artifact armor for EW?

[jade quartz]

I would say what “jiggle” there is is just a realistic depiction and not excessive or distasteful provided you’re not playing with high framerates that make the display go crazy

[rugged flicker]

What's the Cactpot deadline?

[slate arrow]

During September for the Bench, artifact armor will be revealed with the media tour

[split briar]

when is next media tour?

[slate arrow]

Anytime between now and release

(we don't know)

[jade quartz]

Sunday, speak to the Cactpot NPC to find what hour it is in your local time

[split briar]

I saw some concept in the earlier reveal of Sage

but they might be early concept

[faint flare]

There's only art and what we saw in the trialer

For sage

[split briar]

man i hope WHm doesn't make a wedding nun again

[hard parrot]

Pretty boys exist already. Some Hyur and catboy models fit the bill better than the Viera boys. That said, I get the boob jiggle complaint. It’s orz.

[jade quartz]

The sage af we have seen is what will be in the release.

[fading aurora]

For sage and reaper dis they say we needed level 80 or level 90?

Oki

[jade quartz]

70

[slate arrow]

I lied, 70

[rugged flicker]

What's the Cactpot deadline?

[fading aurora]

Wait so u need a level 70 class to unlock a level 70

[slate arrow]

!cactpot

[zinc orbit]

Tick, Tock, Kupo!

Jumbo Cactpot NA

6 days, 9 hours, 58 minutes, 19 seconds

Jumbo Cactpot EU

6 days, 3 hours, 58 minutes, 19 seconds

Jumbo Cactpot JP

5 days, 20 hours, 58 minutes, 19 seconds

[fading aurora]

That makes no sense

[jade quartz]

Uh

What about that makes no sense, exactly?

[slate arrow]

... you should have a job at level 70 already by then?

[split briar]

you will be level 80 when Endwalker comes

[jade quartz]

That’s how the Stormblood and Shadowbringers jobs also unlock

[faint flare]

That's literally how all non heavensward jobs work

[split briar]

without being 80 you can't play Endwalker

[fading aurora]

Every other job has like a 10 to 20 level requirement above the other job you can unlock

[split briar]

so you will automatically have level 70?

[slate arrow]

what

[faint flare]

No

[jade quartz]

That is incorrect

[rugged flicker]

I meant for last week. When is it too late to turn it in?

[faint flare]

Dancer requires lv60

[slate arrow]

no

[jade quartz]

Only applies to HW jobs

[faint flare]

And starts at 60

[slate arrow]

it runs the entire weekend I believe

[boreal storm]

20 below expansion lvl cap

[split briar]

because max level was 80

[modest igloo]

reaper and sage start at 70

[split briar]

every new class is 2 levels lower than current level cap

[primal ermine]

Here is what we've seen so far for whm

[obsidian timber]

For the jp opener why do you need 3600+ sps

[boreal storm]

Unless it’s HW job they’re funky

[obsidian timber]

What makes it so you need so much spell speef

[jade quartz]

You can redeem your ticket any time before the next drawing the following week

[slate arrow]

Speed to pull off that extra fire 4 cast

it's JP Because if you lag you'll lose enochain

[fading aurora]

I have 6 at 80 already it just felt weird untill i got reminded that dancer has the same thing

[faint flare]

The cast times to fit extra casts without refreshing AF

[split briar]

why add sleeveless to WHM robes?

[distant verge]

Does anyone know if CLL/Dalriada count towards Tank Clears?

[warm snow]

Why not

[warm snow]

No

[distant verge]

okay, i figured as much

thank you

[heavy wadi]

no because it's not technically an "instance" or raid on its own

same goes with DR

[split briar]

damn that BLM looks dope

DRK cape looks like it will be stuck to the ass as all other capes

[distant verge]

also i like that the BLM has a cat

[jade quartz]

Discussion of the EW AF sets isn’t really in this channel’s purview anymore, you can take it to #general-discussion

[fading aurora]

Do you guys think reaper will be top dps above samurai

I know we cant tell

[slate arrow]

[fading aurora]

Just wanted to know what everyone thought

[heavy wadi]

this is not a discussion channel

[obsidian timber]

@Industrial Revolutions#0466 but I'm.able to still do it without losing enochain and I don't have the sps

[slate arrow]

until we get the media tour we can't tell you jack shit

[jade quartz]

Not really a game question we can answer here, speculative stuff like that can also go to #general-discussion

[fading aurora]

How many days in advance do we get to test the new classes if we preordered the expansion

[jade quartz]

You don’t

[faint flare]

On the 19th

[slate arrow]

When early access opens

[jade quartz]

You get early access though

[faint flare]

When early access hits

[obsidian timber]

So I don't understand why you need so much sps if it still works confused af

[jade quartz]

Which is essentially the full release for all practical purposes

[fading aurora]

Thats what i meant by testing it earlier

[jade quartz]

Not really a “test”

[slate arrow]

You're better off asking #endgame-lounge or the Balance.

[jade quartz]

It’s for the best if you just think of the 19th as being the release date of the expansion

On the 19th, Endwalker will be live for all players who have purchased it.

That it’s termed “early access” isn’t really meaningful from a player’s point of view, practically speaking.

[faint flare]

For all intents and purposes might as well be the full release

[slate arrow]

*the Endwalker version of the game will be the version everyone is playing

Free trial, full game, or Endwalker owner

[jade quartz]

Yes, it’s not like a test realm

[fading aurora]

Why tf would they label it as early access then

…

[leaden ginkgo]

Seby this isn't WoW.

[faint flare]

PR

[slate arrow]

for sale purposes, and regulations

Also to tell people "hey last chance for preorder bonuses"

[heavy wadi]

because it's early access?

[faint flare]

And a extra Incentive to buy the game now

[heavy wadi]

you get it 4 days early, thus early access.

[slate arrow]

Also also to let people play the game before they ship out Endwalker codes

[boreal storm]

Early access, you access it earlier

[fading aurora]

This is getting so confusing

[shy pier]

Hey guys, I'm pretty new to tanking and I wanted to ask here before jumping into 8 man stuff. What's the standard protocol for deciding who main tanks and who off tanks?

[leaden ginkgo]

HOW?

[slate arrow]

As they don't charge for expansions until it's proper release

[fading aurora]

One person says everyone gets it at the same time while another says 4 days eary

Early*

[modest igloo]

whoever puts on their stance first

[jade quartz]

You don’t get it earlier than anyone else because the preorder option will be live all the way up to release.

[slate arrow]

Because everyone does get it at the same time.

Which is 4 days earlier than release

[leaden ginkgo]

Seby, listen.
EW, in a sense, releases when EA starts, but those who preordered- therefore EA access- gets to play its MSQ and classes 4 days before everyone else.

[slate arrow]

All the job changes, new classes, and new content is live at the same time

[jade quartz]

No this isn’t really accurate either.

[leaden ginkgo]

Then correct me.

[jade quartz]

Because there’s no “everyone else”

[slate arrow]

The main reason for Early Access is due to how preorders work.

[spiral inlet]

How do you retrieve this

[shy pier]

Do off tanks not keep stance on? I thought that's what you used Shirk for

[fading aurora]

I regret asking now because everyone is disagreeing with each other

[spiral inlet]

when making a new character

[jade quartz]

The game becomes available for all those who have purchased it.

[jade quartz]

Please just listen to Industrial

[slate arrow]

@spiral inlet you need to save a character data in a save slot

[heavy wadi]

no you keep it off, generally.

[jade quartz]

These other additions are muddying the answer

[heavy wadi]

you only really need shirk and stuff for harder content

[modest igloo]

2nd tank turns on stance after 30 secs for attacks that go on the 2nd highest aggro

[slate arrow]

@fading aurora

TL;DR Early Access is to let physical and digital pre orders play at the same time to account for shipping times

[shy pier]

Gotcha thank you

[fading aurora]

👍

[leaden ginkgo]

So wait wtf was wrong with my answer? Is there not a difference between the game updating to have EW content and those who pre-order getting to play it on the 19th compared to the 23rd?

[slate arrow]

nope

Literally same version of the game for everyone

[faint flare]

The game is fully updated on Early access day

[slate arrow]

Just you can't access Endwalker without an early access code

[faint flare]

For everyone

All the class changes and all

[slate arrow]

There is no "version difference" just "content access locks"

[leaden ginkgo]

Great, now i'm confused, but this is what I get for wanting clarification.

[faint flare]

Basically

[leaden ginkgo]

That is literally what I thought I was saying.

[faint flare]

Its like if you don't own shadowbringers now

[heavy wadi]

don't need to be so hostile, dude

[jade quartz]

Just goes back to the original answer

[faint flare]

You got the changes shadowbringers brought to all jobs just can't do the expansion Content

[leaden ginkgo]

Which is?

[jade quartz]

“Early access” is the release of the expansion for all practical purposes.

[leaden ginkgo]

Again, I thought what was what I was saying.

[slate arrow]

Everyone stop

Eleos, you were correct, but the wording was confusing and the chat was going pretty fast, which meant that most only skimmed it

[leaden ginkgo]

Then once again I bitch and moana bout me being the ONLY ONE that takes the time to READ.

It never ends, but fine, I got my answer.

[jade quartz]

This is not the place to bitch and moan.

[leaden ginkgo]

So.

Anyway.

How would one go about levelling RPR when the time comes?

[jade quartz]

With roulettes and dungeons

[modest igloo]

bozja and trusts after roulette

[leaden ginkgo]

Cause i'm realizing my original plan of doing MSQ as DRK would have more issues than goodness.

[jade quartz]

Possibly Bozja if that’s still relevant and working

[faint flare]

Bojza will be flooded

[heavy wadi]

given it's the main way to level 71-80 overall, it'll be very relevant

so yeah probably bozja

[leaden ginkgo]

The days where I wish we had a deep dungeon and not Eureka 1.5.

[heavy wadi]

well, zadnor, specifically

[jade quartz]

Exp values for dungeons could be adjusted, making them more efficient.

[faint flare]

Be like 5 hours to cap in bojza

[modest igloo]

was HOH flooded with GNB and DNC in ShB?

[heavy wadi]

yes, still is

[modest igloo]

ah

[leaden ginkgo]

GNBs not so much but holy fuck were DNC's plentiful.

[heavy wadi]

when leveling DNC kept getting into full dnc runs

[leaden ginkgo]

I say, being one of the GNBs that levelled through HoH cause fuck that.

[fading aurora]

Whats wrong with leveling with all dancers at least it felt like a real party

[topaz vine]

when i roll duty roulettes, is everyone i match with also rolling roulette?

or are some just going through normal duty finder

[jade quartz]

Some are going though duty finder

[topaz vine]

kk ty

[jade quartz]

One of the main functions of the roulette is to populate older content so that players going through it for the first time get party members to match with.

[topaz vine]

ya makes sense

[chrome relic]

guys when i log in it says i dont have a subscription

but i check i do have one idk whats going on

[slate arrow]

How did you buy the game?

[agile rock]

Hi new here is there a place in the server where I can find ppl doing more difficult content, trying to get into doing ex stuff

[slate arrow]

party finder is generally enough for that

*in game

[leaden ginkgo]

What version of the game.

[slate arrow]

@chrome relic are you launching it via Steam?

[chrome relic]

steam

[leaden ginkgo]

Oof.

[sullen galleon]

Is there a way to try one multiple peices of gear at a time to see what a set of armor would look like on you?

[agile rock]

I checked no one doing what content I'm trying to do

[chrome relic]

been launching it via steam since i got membership

[ocean bloom]

Uh anyone that has finished with Squadrons?

got a question about it

[slate arrow]

@sullen galleon the paper button at the bottom of the preview window. That's the "save outfit button"

[leaden ginkgo]

See the middle button on the preview window, one of which shows what you currently got equipped? Press the one beside it.

[ocean bloom]

How do i get Offensive Battle Tactics for my dps and how to lvl the tactics? for Squadrons

[slate arrow]

@chrome relic /shrug dunno what's wrong then

@ocean bloom do command missions, do command missions

[ocean bloom]

oof

[slate arrow]

as for which tactic levels it's random

[ocean bloom]

gotcha

[sullen galleon]

ty!

[ocean bloom]

guess its time to lvl up my THM to BLM with squadrons

here goes nothing

[leaden ginkgo]

God help you.

[agile rock]

So I guess there is none?

[slate arrow]

Then make your own :d

[ocean bloom]

God wont help me

[slate arrow]

It's called party finder not party joiner

[agile rock]

You know what whatever

No, not just your PC's internet, your router as well

[vestal cobalt]

Is it best to level in the msq as a dps?

Finally finished heavensward but due to taking it slow / doing daily roulettes my main (gnb) is 70 before starting the stormblood quests.

Would it be worth levelling a dps to 60 so that the msq exp wont be wasted?

[slate arrow]

entirely depends up to you.

It's not required, and most people aren't concerned with efficiency

It's not like it's a permanent loss.

[jade quartz]

If it matters to you then it’s a totally valid option.

It’s whatevs

so when do i get to actually become scholar?

[faint flare]

[limpid glacier]

got it, thanks

[alpine shadow]

use a different network

like a mobile network

[dapper thunder]

thank you

[leaden ginkgo]

should i use VPN

[alpine shadow]

you could try

but a mobile network fixes for most people

you just need it for if you are going to sub/payment, think you only get it on mogstaion, no other place.

[gritty oracle]

In SoS Ex, at the LB4 after add phase, does additional mitigation than the tank LB3 even matter? Like Troubadour, Fey Illu etc

[alpine shadow]

would be better, cause some can still die even with tank lb3

you do want them full health too.

[gritty oracle]

Is that so? I thought tank lb3 would prevent anyone dying and was more of a scripted formality than an actual damage vs mitigation event

[alpine shadow]

it does not prevent 100% damage

only 80%

[boreal storm]

From what I heard tank lb3 is 80%

[glossy flare]

Impossible to know for sure but it's a reasonable estimate

[alpine shadow]

lack of gear could also contribute to less hp which further increases death rates

[opaque heart]

how can I redye

my gear

[alpine shadow]

right click item, press dye option

[limpid glacier]

what`s the leveling route everyone's talking about?

[leaden ginkgo]

anyone mind creating an EU account for me

[alpine shadow]

leveling roulette? it is the part you see first when opening the duty finder.

[faint flare]

Roulettes are literally the first thing you see when opening duty finder

On the first page

[opaque heart]

I dont see such option

[alpine shadow]

how do you see your total fashion report points?

[leaden zinc]

how does a vpn help with managing high latency issues? have heard that some use vpns to help smoothen latency

[gritty oracle]

in Japan is melee uptime not considered when making macros/strats, or are melees expected to take D1-D2 and ranked D3-D4?

[jade quartz]

Kinda yes to both questions

My understanding is that consistent clearing is heavily prioritised over optimisation

But D1-D2 are typically the melee slots.

[regal musk]

so, I need... plot price + house price at minimum, and then about gazillion gil to furnish it the way I want? :D

[warm snow]

Ye

Or you can commission someone to decorate for you

I know a guy who takes gil commissions for housing

A VPN can route your Internet traffic along a different route than your ISP does, potentially avoiding nodes that are congested with traffic and ensuring a more stable, fast connection. It can help with latency but your mileage may vary depending on your location and situation. Try one and see if it helps you.

[regal musk]

two gazillions then. :>

or should it be gilzillions?

[jade quartz]

If it’s the one where you need to get 18 of each, then FATEs I’d say. If you choose to do the raids instead, then do Void Ark and Rabanastre.

FATEs in the Azem Steppe and the Lochs.

[stray mason]

If im on Chaos and friends are on Light do I have to pay for a transfer?

[faint flare]

Yes

[proper shore]

If i wanna have to press Ctrl+1 , Ctrl+2 etc , to use my spell how do i put both key in the key attribution ? i can't figure out how ++

[jade quartz]

You simply press ctrl+1 when prompted to set the keybind

[proper shore]

after pressing ctrl it say instantly " ctrl is already attribute to ... "

[jade quartz]

Press them together like you would when pressing the actual hotbar button.

Hold ctrl and press 1

noice

thx aniway

[leaden zinc]

am i doing it right if i live in asia but play in leviathan and connect the vpn to somewhere in america?

[hallow wolf]

Hiya everyone! New to the game here. I've been looking to get into the game as a Tank initially, then move to down the line DPS and finally Healer. Is there a recommended class route to take in easing into the roles, or is it mostly just a "do what feels comfortable" kinda thing? Starting with Marauder, thinking of going to Warrior next

(free trial currently btw)

[jade quartz]

Whatever you like. Marauder and warrior are the same class however

[modest igloo]

do whatever looks cool

play what you like

[jade quartz]

Warrior is simply what it upgrades to at level 30. Continuation of the class under a new name.

[hallow wolf]

Ah, didn't realize Warrior was just a straight advancement of Marauder classic FF style

Is there a consensus on difficulty in getting into roles? Healer seems a bit daunting

[proper shore]

it actually work only with ctrl and alt -_-

[modest igloo]

yeah, once you get warrior you never go back to MRD

[jade quartz]

Folks in #technology-discussion might be able to help you with the best settings to set one up

[primal ermine]

The game goes out of its way to make healing undaunting

[modest igloo]

for healer, people recommend conjurer and playing it safe your first few runs

[jade quartz]

Ctrl alt and shift. You can just set your mouse buttons to those inputs and they’ll work.

[modest igloo]

say you're new and people will adjust

they did for me when i started and it helped a ton

[hallow wolf]

Alrighty, thanks!

[jade quartz]

Use your mouse’s built in macro software if it comes with one, or else a third party one

[leaden zinc]

thanks, ill check it out later

[proper shore]

okay thx i'll try to find how to do that

[twin loom]

Quick question guys warrior or paladin easier for a beginner?

[modest igloo]

i'd say WAR

but both start easy

[twin loom]

I am not the best with mega strict rotations

[jade quartz]

WAR is very straightforward

PLD is too but its rotation at higher levels is a slight bit more complex

[regal musk]

hehehe, there's exactly one plot left on my serwer in the area of my choice, and it's currently being sniped

[jade quartz]

War is very unga bunga

[modest igloo]

WAR was press 1-2-3 for a lot of the earlygame

it eases you in

[regal musk]

can't a millenial even have a pixel house? T_T

[modest igloo]

and unless you're doing savage raids you don't need to super hard do your rotation, you'll learn it as you level

[twin loom]

Okay, thanks guys, I'll have to make a new char now :)

[modest igloo]

what's wrong with your main?

[twin loom]

Well I started as gladi and I'm just level 10

[agile laurel]

you're literally at the required level to switch

[modest igloo]

you can just swap to MRD when you get to limsa lomisa

[agile laurel]

do your class quests

[jade quartz]

You can play all classes on one character

No need to reroll

[twin loom]

I have no Idea how to get to limsa

[jade quartz]

Continue the main story

[twilit arch]

the main scenario quest will take you there

like unless you really want to start over, then i would just continue with the msq for now

and when you get to limsa, pick up marauder

won't take you long to get back to msq's lvl to continue

[twin loom]

But would it not be faster to just reroll and level to 10 again? Especially if I wanna go WAR first?

[jade quartz]

The difference would be inconsequential

Do either

[twilit arch]

it won't be long either way tbh

plus who knows maybe you want to go back to pld later/

you've already got it unlocked

well glad in this case but

[twin loom]

I'll see what I will do, thanks guys

[warm snow]

You unlock limsa at level 15 msq and 1-15 is basically just class quests and hunting log so don't worry about it

[leaden ginkgo]

where can i find the price difference between eu and na

[jade quartz]

!faq subprice

[zinc orbit]

Subscription Prices

Image URL: https://i.imgur.com/iPm8PE2.png

[warm snow]

What price difference?

[jade quartz]

!faq subpriceeu

[zinc orbit]

Subscription Prices

[leaden ginkgo]

Is it possible I change my account to EU if I contact support

[south kestrel]

What does erp mean? I understand rp ofc but I've seen erp before and could t quite get what the e stood for.

[jade quartz]

Erotic roleplay.

[viral ravine]

Hey, I'm just finishing the BLM's relic but. What stats do I give it ? Do I need spell speed ?

[south kestrel]

Oh

[jade quartz]

Basically sexting ingame.

[south kestrel]

Yeah nvm

But thanks for answering 😅

[viral ravine]

Do I just max DHR and CRIT with the rest either in DET or spell speed ? For BLM

[jade quartz]

Level 80 relic?

[viral ravine]

yeah

or max crit and spell speed ?

[jade quartz]

Check the blm resources channel in the balance

[twilit arch]

A:  If you’re using a high SpS set you will likely want to use more SpS + DH with some Det. High-crit set will generally lean towards a stat spread closer to Crit + SpS + DH/Det. You can min-max using the 5.X relative gear comparison sheet if desired.```

[jade quartz]

They have two BiS options including the relic

One for high crit build, one for high SpS build.

[viral ravine]

I have no idea, I'm new to BLM. Is it a big mistake if I go crit/sps ?

[twilit arch]

not really

[jade quartz]

Personal preference how fast you like to go.

[twilit arch]

blm works at several sps tiers

whats important is finding a speed that's comfortable for you

[jade quartz]

If you like a faster gcd go SpS build, if you like a slower gcd go crit build.

[viral ravine]

I like fast yeah

[jade quartz]

Both perform similarly

[viral ravine]

Rest in DHT or DET ?

DHR*

[languid creek]

How do I gain the ability to craft glamour prisms

[warm snow]

Dhit and crit probably

[warm snow]

Unlock glamour

Also you really don't want to craft glamour prisms

[viral ravine]

ty

[warm snow]

It's stupid inefficient

[jade quartz]

Have a level 15 crafter and accept blue quest available in Vesper Bay or Mor Dhona.

[warm snow]

You can buy glamour prisms for 200 gc seals each

[twilit arch]

if you do the glamour unlock quest in vesper bay, need to do the follow up quest to unlock crafting prisms in vesper bay as well

[agile laurel]

Why does KB at the end of basic sometimes just do lethal damage?

[warm snow]

The first 2 players hit take tank buster level damage

[agile laurel]

the kb?

[warm snow]

Yeah

[faint flare]

Yes

[warm snow]

Thats why tanks have to be closest to the yellow thing

[faint flare]

It's a wild charge/neo exdeath type pushback

[agile laurel]

that makes sense

right

[warm snow]

Either your healers need to work on their positioning or a dps is be dumb

[agile laurel]

yeah that'd be me

[odd radish]

guys how can I change grand company?? I am in the second rank and I can't join another one :c

[jade quartz]

Rank up to 2nd Lieutenant first.

Then you can change

[spiral inlet]

what level can you do hall of novice

[jade quartz]

15

[jovial quarry]

You need to be Second Lieutenant rank. Then you just talk to the personnel officer at the GC you want to transfer to. First time is free. There's a gil fee to transfer afterwards.

[slender sphinx]

Is there any place outside of party finder I can find groups for extreme trials?
Been trying to get a learning/first timer group for Cinder Drift Extreme for an hour and haven't had more than 4 people join before party died.

it's also peak hours on my server basically

[heavy wadi]

it’s not peak hours, peak hours are later

[odd radish]

I have already ranked up

but it doesn't work

[heavy wadi]

and yes, if you’re learning probably pf is your best bet

[slender sphinx]

Still, 2:30pm on a Sunday. Shouldn't be this hard

[heavy wadi]

most have done ruby ex already so it’s going to take time to make a group for it

[slim mango]

I entered my friends recuirtment code a while back and I just bought 30 days of sub outside the free trial that comes with the complete edition but I didn't get any mogmail with rewards

[leaden ginkgo]

Its probably delayed. Give it a bit.

Worst case scenario, re-log.

[slim mango]

OK!

[nocturne hinge]

how do i play with friends or when do i get to

[slim mango]

Is the fact that I paid with Crysta screwing it up? I think I need a Time Card

[leaden ginkgo]

I have no clue, never redeemed a friend code. Did you input the friend code BEFORE or AFTER subbing?

[slim mango]

before for sure

100%

it's been a month
