idk if its gonna help in non-JP servers but enabling JP in mahjong made my queue much faster
like...nearly instant lol
Mahjong is a popular Asian past time
EU isn't that different since majority speaks English, but in JP you must enable them all
will probs hop onto a jp DC when I'll be grinding mahjong achievos.
Crit Hit into Direct Hit iirc
im not in this step yet but from what i heard you can re-do this step eventually, but for summoner your main stat is critical hit and then direct hit.
Basically just follow the meld priority
What is this thing? :0
Relic substats
You can custom relic stats?
depends on which
This channel is for new or returning players to ask questions about Final Fantasy XIV. As a reminder this channel is a troll free and an off-topic free zone. For general discussion please use #ffxiv-discussion or #novice-network. @New Player Mentor are available to help in this channel. Thank-You, Kupo!
for the level 80 one yes for the last two steps
Each relic let's you customise stats some way
you customize the stats but obviously it only matters in the most current relics
Stormblood is rng with stat changes
anima is direct stat allocation for some steps
How can i compare quest reward gear to my current one? Im on console
Press on the reward
Then item compare
Not sure what controller you have
So just test the 4 action buttons
xbox controller on ps4 
oh it was the square button. Thx
Are eden statics doing only 1 tier per group, like E9S-E12S, or they do all eden raids E1S-E12S?
I want to do the previous raids too, should I look for a static for them after?
you don't require to do a static to do those, but it would be easier.
though, you don't need a seperate static just for that
only if you were for example, doing e9s-e12s whilst doing ultimate progging
or if you really want to double-static e9s-e12s ??
if you think it would help yes
an e9 -e12 static may nott be interested in lower tiers
if so, if you think it'd help out finding one, no reason to not try
I'm not quite sure I understand the definition of static
static is a group you play with for an extended amount of time
possible weeks or months
you get other people to fill out a group / roles and commit to progressing and doing instances
instead of a pug where you play with randoms
So if I plan on E1S-E4S in like a week, that won't be a static? Even if I want the people to come consistently to the raid if they can daily?
it would technically be a static if you group gets together and does it all together
I have a bad-ish experience with casual groups
Its just semantics
We kept having to use party finder for bahamut / alexander and sometimes had to cancel
a static is just the idea of committing to a thing as a group and working to get it done even if difficulties come up
bahamut / alexander??
a static acn do stuff within the range of a week to a couple of months
Yes lol
we talking about ultimates or savage?
the static of course must agree on a time where people can get together / do stuff
Yes but I gave an example for a casual group experience i had
that doesn't answer's thaun question but i still get what u mean
if you were pf an ultimate, then no wonder.
otherwise you could just unsync the savage raids
but yeah statics usually:
- commit to a timeframe to get stuff done
- consistently have members commit to progressing even if people get stuck on stuff
- have members work with the group to try and improve and overcome fights
I did them synced, it's fun
But lets go back to the ultimates. So would E9S-E12S be enough to get into a group?
depends on what group but yes tpyically you need logs proving you're competent in e9s to e12s at the current timeframe
ie relatively good parses
FFLogs basically?
mhm
fflogs literally
If you're not consistent at mechanics you're going to struggle in ultimates
So complete it at first, then keep re-completing it until I get good at it?
Consistency is key
you basically just have to show you're good at mechanics and can consistently do well
emphasis on consistent
I see
and that is reflected through your performances in parses and number of clears
Any bob can get carried in savage but ultimates NEED consistency
So I've got around 2-3 weeks of progress to go through before I can start ultimates
I'm not sure if this is clear so I'll just say it for good measure: No savage raid that is not e9-e12 prepares you for ultimate. Reason being: unysnced you already super overgeared for older fights, synced you already have the best gear for older savage fights automatically.
Heck even doing e9-e12 rn is doing it with training wheels since now people can reach iLevel 530 without doing savage.
depends on how good you are
if you think you're a god gamer and can consistently get large amounts of progress in that timeframe then by all means yeah
also, you want to be bis when parsing, else you look worse compared to others that are bis
what's bis?
best in slot
best in slot
best in slot
ie, most powerful gear
I don't have iLvl 530
so that will also eat up some time if you want to commit to getting good parases
yeah
you get ilvl530 from e9-e12s
i wouldn't really set my eyes on ultimate until you just get really good at e9s - e12s anyway
so step by step just focus on getting savage done
for ult's and savage you should aim to get the best gear available to you
and then see what you can do with ultiamte when you're comfortable
Yes true but the problem is iLvl 530 isn't required for lvl 70 ultimates
Does fflogs take out directed dmg buffs like dancer in the parses ?
we can sit here and talk about what you need for ultimate all night but realistically you should just get savage done before even thinking about it
!faq fflogsdps
- RaidDPS (rDPS) is: Your TotalDPS minus the damage from buffs you received plus the damage from buffs you contributed
- Personal DPS (pDPS) is: Your TotalDPS without being adjusted for buffs.
- aDPS is: Your TotalDPS minus single target buffs applied to you (devilment, dragon sight, astro cards, etc)
no you do not need to farm any bis for ultimates except alexander
since your gear will be level synced to 70
and you can do just fine
yes anything over ilevel is fine
Except for Alexander
i am sure thaun_ meant bis for e9-12 for parsing
Due to how sync works
šŖ±
šŖ±
!faq ultsync
!faq ultimatesync
Many pieces of gear are BiS when synced down. The 'low' stat on the higher ilvl gear will reach the stat cap on the lower ilvl gear. This outweighs the melds you lose in some cases, and in others it is few points of stats behind.
UCoB: ilvl 418 and above will have both stats capped
UWU: ilvl 470 and above will have both stats capped
TEA: no available ilvl cap yet, syncing gear will not cap all substats and will ignore melding slots.
See the calculator below (WIP)
https://bit.ly/XIVGearSyncCalc
correct, cause there is a higher chance of rejection with probable lower numbers, cause i don't think there are many looking at xivanalysis only
first impressions
I know but my problem is that to get best parse in e9-12 I'd need 530 gear, but not for ultimates since it's level 70
but yeah back to my point, just do e9s - e12s in general to get good regarldess of which ultimate ur gonna do
that too.
the point was never about alex / 70 ult bis
It's the mechanical skill you need
the point was to get e9-12 done in order to prep your logs / 'resume'
and like vinyl said, git gud
honestly it doesnt matter if you clear e9-e12 with orange parses or greens. Important is that you clear it to begin with
not just prep your logs, but to prep your brain
you think too much about heading into ults then you'll be up at night thinking about it
and that might just burn urself out
enjoy savage for savage
not as a gateway to ult only
if you head straight into ultimate, you would be wondering why you are dying on the 2 first mecs of the fight
Yes I will but I'm really confused now
why
what's up
Prob a dumb question but Iām lvl 80 my friend is 20-ish and doing his first duty MSQ. I canāt run him through unsyncād can I?
You can
You can
duty or instance
You said I need iLvl 530 for good parsing in E9-12 before I get into ults, but then said it's not required for ucob so I'm confused if I should bother grinding for it now or leave it aside for the time being
you can, but unsync would completely take away the experience for them,
as you just oneshot everything
You're grinding for mechanical skill
Parses shouldnt really matter ?
Like if you wanna get into great groups i guess
- ilevel 530 is for parsing bis because it matters in level 80 content (e9 - e12) since it will put your numbers higher and thus demonstrate mechanic skill in a tangible recorded way
- it''s not required for level 70 ults stats-wise is what we meant
but you should still grind for ilevel 530 stuff for the logs because that is important to show for getting into an ult static
I mean, you'll instantly have aggro on all enemies when you heal them.
like, they'll just ignore 'em
They're a requirement tho for most groups
it'll be punchin bags
you mean like the solo stuff right
like the glowy stuff in the overworld whee it takes him in
or do u mean dungeons
dont join a group that wants your parse numbers it probably wont be an enjoyable time
you don't have to grind up gear, but you atleast want to be mechanically skilled
this is incorrect for ults, ult statics tpyically recruit with parse numbers in mind up to a standard
parse is just a flavour ontop
Ok:
BiS is required for good parses. Good parses are an indicator that you are performing well in fights with higher difficulty. If you parse fights undergeared that will lower your parse and skew with your actual performance. This is why a lot of people will say parses only matter if you are BiS.
However, this is not to say that just because you are not BiS you are allowed to parse absolute shite and play super bad. Cant just say "lol im not bis thats why I dont get any good parses"
some people sadly do this as well..
you can't really say 'well i am good at video games' without any logs showing such
^^^^^^
@proper bolt tbh going in as tank in regular duty finder is probably more enjoyable
because they don't want a rando grey andy wasting their time when they can't get past the first 2 living liquid mechanics
^^^^
Itās Sashtasha
They could get the log and put into XIVanalysis instead, there gear difference won't matter as much
it takes forever
they be "I'm a good WHM" then proceed to just cure 1 + regen spam :^)
xivanalysis can demonstrate doing ur rotation correctly but not necessarily reflects the actual output you put in
I dont think everyone wants to go through the effort and analyze each of your logs
it is also not entirely accruate for some fights
my friend does optimal multi-target GNB stuff in TEA
it yells at him for using multi-target in a 'single-target' instance
If it takes too long Iāll just start whacking things to speed up the process.
Thanks all
valid, gl. hope he has fun!
either way i am saying that logs are important and continuing to shimmy around the issue is not getting you into ults any faster

somehow finding sastasha fun will be a miracle in of itself, early arr dungeons are so dull
I could go syncās but Iād miss medica 2 too much lol
well, there is one other metric that people use, and that is them trialing you in a fight
Well, would it be reasonable to do it as iLvl 520? I'd grind for 530 on the way but prefer to focus on getting better rather than getting better gear. But on the other hand, don't want the gear to be the reason I wasn't able to join a group
hey guys im having a small issue
i cant seem to see any details about my actions and traits
duude but the early dungeons have so much character compared to the hallways of the hw+ dungeons >-<
exploring sastasha to find the slaves, or the tavern brawl is great the first time
you gain gear at the same time as you get better tho 
with ilevel 520 you are already slighty overgeared for e9 and well geared for e10
i can see the image, but when i hover over theres no detaisl
it is possible to do it at 520 for parsing, it will just be harder to get higher numbers as
- you are statistically dfoing less damage by 10 ilevels which is not great
- it is very late into the tier so that issue is worse than if you were earlier in the tier
Maybe just opening your own learning group is what you should do if you are that anxious
Iām 520. Bit of a grind but worth it. 535 however, bring forces to do high levels duties⦠no thanks. I canātā¦
How so?
like, if everyone got BiS it's gonna be super easy to get gear, unless they got alt jobs
unless you mean for getting savage done?
i mean
savage can be done at i510
we are severely overgearred in terms of entry level
i forget exactly where it is in settings, but there is a setting regarding that little popup window that shows up when you mouse over things. tho i remember it being for items, not sure if it applies on actions.
we are speaking getting bis for parsing
you will get gear from savage, reclear to practice and get good, as well as for getting parases
it's that simple
Yes but my question is could I still do good enough to join a group with iLvl 520?
for savage? yes of course
savage doesn't have any crazy entry level shit like ult does
i wont deny that, but at the same time, as a tank main, getting an ARR dungeon annoys me because its not a hallway and i can't remember the path. especailly that one dungeon thats just winding hallways where you have to pick up some stuff to open barriers or something.
Then I might get the iLvl 530 for another job
you mean the wanderer's palace?
530 was recommended for the class you would be playing to get parses for that
because I'd like to have each role with proper gear, currently I only have tank
no, i forget its name like, theres no boss other than the final one
For eden, or ultimate?
every wall just spawns a bunch of ads
if your primary goal is ults then gear up the class you're expecting to play savage and ults on
that's gonna take a long time to farm, if you want all gear for all jobs
if you don't wanna rush it, do whatevr you want
i looked it up, it's toto-rak. hate that place.
i am telling you
gear up the class you're going to be playing in savage for eden to get parses
start at i520, do savages to get good at it, get gear up to 530
thanks, that helped ā¤ļø
Ok
if ur logs aren't great without i530, it will become highly recommended to get i530 asap to increase ur log numbers
imo toto-rak is cool,
especially when you see people auto-pilot into that one dead-end w/ the 2 enemies while you turn left.
gets me a chuckle ever time :D
after u are comfortable/consistent, as well as having decent logs, u can head into ult whenever u feel like it
that's just my two cents
Well I'm convinced now but I still got one question, is it fine combining 520 exarchic gear and 520 relevations tomestone gear?
to each their own i suppose, i just dont like it cuz im expected to lead the way as a tank but i can never remember where all the pick ups are.
it is encouraged to mix and match sets for optimal stat targetting
yeah
we started at ilvl510 at launch
you want zero skill speed which can only be done via mixing and matching sets
Ok
or was it 500?
Isnt there something like itemlevel parses in ffxiv ?
generally no
And if I remember right, those can give me 2 530?
you can always ask the balance discord what gear is recommended for prog and what is BiS
btw
people always aggregate all item levels into one category
and i530 will be the ones that remain at the top
you can augment the ilvl 520 cryptlurker gear with those, yes
Ok ty
Lol thats stupid
which then becomes 530
What's the balance discord?
don't accidentally purchase a gear that is bad for your job
did you ever read the summoner job guide...?
well it's either that or have 3 different categories of 510/520/530 parases
use the "straight" way, there's 1 b4 the split, 2 on the way, and one at the gate
& 2nd pickups are drops from the plants, at 2nd gate, turn left for the last pickup.
and no one gives a shit about the 510/520 parses
I guess its a different mentality from wow
everyone uses a bis gear now, so everyone wants to parse that
wow players will parse waking up quicker if it means they can ego it
The one in ffxiv website?
mostly parses is a bit about crit rng, skill and stuff
I haven't read any guide lol
the akh morning one is honestly not great
Hey guys a bit of a more lighthearted question while y'all on parsing.
b4 finishing ARR, what's the highest IL one can reach w/o using marketboard?
I've gotten 207 w/ pvp gear, or 278 with using silver chocobo feathers for 70 tome gear.
anything I missed?
in terms of like
random chime in but ... it sounds like you havent done savage, ever? and if thatās the case then just grab ez i520 gears then go in and try ... all the bis gearing up stuff can be dealt with later ...
showing waht ur supposed to do clearly
? You high?
maybe i'm just pepega but i cannot read that guide for shit
It's pretty clear and breaks down everything
i think silver choco to get scavean is as as high as youre gonna get
Here's each Phases and what our aims are
since you wont be able to do the SB raids to get the gear from there without getting out of trial
And why we do it
yeah ur not rdy for ult or savage if you have not read any guides on your class nor fight specific guides for your class
gonna be real here
hmm ok, so I can't increase my IL for a while on my alt then, kk
i just could not swallow any information from the guide but that's not exactly pertinent to the discussion
and i'm p sure it's just me being 
you need full extent knowledge of your class to bring out the most of the dps of the current ilvl you are on right now.
^
don't ask about ults if you're not even sure how to do your rotation properly
just being honest
and one way of knowing that you are doing good, and not missing anything, is parsing.
and different rotations to use during fights, like 110s vs 120s
or be like me and braindead rush every fight 
i'm not saying what i said to put you down
but don't sprint before you even crawl man
focus on what's ahead of you, not what's at the end
^
I know, but with all of that conversation I'm honestly just generally confused about what I should do next
i think itās good that you want to be prepared for harder content and all but youāre overthinking it
read your job guide, check the encounter specific channel for summoner on e9s, do some rotation practice and then start e9 prog
there you go
!faq smnguide
I live in Asia do I need VPN to create account in eu
yes
to start doing savage as a newb, just get ez i520 gears, watch fight guide, watch your job guide and just go in ĀÆ_(ć)_/ĀÆ
^ @opaque fiber do this
And the guide is in this balance discord, and they have for all other eden stuff?
practice rotation on a dummy, get the basics of a class, bring it to fights
then do savage
that's pretty much it
Wynne just linked it for you but yeah all resources are in the balance
Hmmm ok
Ok
So read the guides and then start eden prog if I understand right?
To create an account? No, shouldn't be. my account is US despite living in Asia and didnt use a VPN for creating it. Then once you get in-game you choose what data center to be in as well.
That's a part of read the guide lol
get tangibly competent wit hthe rotation after reading the guides
depends exactly where in asia
you won't be good by just reading the guide
yes
oh yeah another thing
you have to play the game and apply knowledge from the guide
I'm in japan and had no issues making an account on NA, personally
idk about europe
you can't just absorb knowledge then immediately know how to play
true, asia's a big place, so i guess your mileage may vary
if you're in china/korea the account process might try to force you to their clients
you can also look at the logs of other summonrs that parse well, throw those into analysis and use them as reference for what you need to do
I wrote it in a bad way, I meant that the practice was a part of the read the guide, not that reading the guide is practice.
just start playing
either way you understand my point is that you need to read the guide and play the game
and
So um, I play WHM and my DPS is around 10k on a dummy even with perfect rotation and uptime
How do other people hit 14.5k DPS constantly with basically the same gear as me? (I have 520, they have 530. Both have materia and stats are literally almost the same, the difference is around ~50 stat)
on dummy you don't have a bunch of bonuses you'd have in a party
Raid buffs and better weapon
really just get it going, man. nothing else to really say. bring it into normal fights once you get good with it on a dummy
first and foremost, there's the simple buff for having multiple roles, 5%?
just start gaming and if people complain about you underperforming tell them that they dont pay your sub /s
the weapon and stats do make a big difference
and yeah ropter 5%
second, the various damage buffs you'll get from other party members
Ohhh, it's from the raid buffs, right
food might be another one too
main stat is the biggest factor to damage
and third, weapon is a bigger chunk of your damage than that mere 15 item level might suggest
it's slept on often bc people think substats can outweigh them
fourth, you're probably not potting/fooding to hit a dummy
I forgot I don't get any dps increases as I parsed solo
while ther are exceptions, mainstat is better most of the time in ilevel increments of 10
Ty
where you live
~10k on a dummy is probably pretty correct at 520 on whm.
europe
Substats can only make up for base weapon difference at a difference of around 5 at most
but which one do i pick

90% of my blocked list is from Twintania :^) just saying
pick the ones from the faq i posted about for worldpick if they intrigue you
lol yall werent kidding they really are single increments of each other
otherwise pick any. recommended to have a preferred world. i'm on crystal, it's pretty chill
that's just good IT practice.
Chaos has 2 preferred worlds, idk if light has any
That just means it's your current data centre
The xp world's are shown during character creation
Can you speak French?
zodiark is currently, not sure if others on light
Open a pf in game; join a pf game; or try a #recruitment channel for your dc; or try community finder
differences between worlds are minimal besides the ones in faqpick
communities will generally be the same levels of engaging/friendly or stoic/toxic regarldess of where u go
o/ toxic af player here.
welcome to the game
i can select another one and the star is still there
i am also toxic af so either way u lose regardless of what u pick
also @opaque fiber when looking for a static
so i'll go chaos ig
praise chaos
You need to confirm it
the star doesn't do anything since you need to confirm it
but
if you like chaos then yeahhhh chaos whooooo
oh you're right
ff origins would like that
according to lodestone chaos still has preferred servers while light doesnt.
NA and JP are more populated than EU's datacenters too iirc
In there š
neato
which is atually a tangible difference i should remember to bring up next time this is asked 
i'll just flip a coin then
Pick your favorite server name
pick it based on what kupobot will still recognize even if you typo it
press Ok
i haven't
Is it bad to suggest people to play in the server with lowest ping?
then you don't tick it
I saw noone asked where he's from, lol
ah ok i'm sorry
Lizard men
yoo

dragons but yeah
they do look cool
yeah a lot metal spiky hair selection as well
find a video and see if you don't mind it
well the females definitely are
male ones are pretty rare, at least where im at.
I see male auras frequently in my server
I think male are popular too
might just be a server bias
super popular choice for DRK
isn't Aura far east race? should be more popular in JP
JP has a lot of lalafells...
cause their bodies are huge
is it just me or does this guy look a little goofy
you can check out the luckybancho census I guess
not getting the big ogre vibes
Pick a race that speaks to u
also note that each race has two versions, like uh tribes i guess or subrace, i dont know the term
the other kind of roegadyn is a bit less goofy
The difference is mainly in skin tones and eyes for the cats and lalas
Auras have different color scales also
this is not the room for this
HOWEVER
we just added one for this kinda stuff, #beginner-lounge
i'll hop there then
Does anyone know a way to export your FC member list? Maybe from Lodestone..
according to the 2020 census about 3.3% of JP players are male aura. 14% are female aura.
23% are lalas lol
definitely no automated process, but you can look up your members on the lodestone & copy/paste them into a document

mmkay thanks
basically on daily reset as far as I can tell?
Which one should theoretically deal more dmg? š®
I seem to deal around 500 more dps with the Relic for some weird reason even though there's a clear stat difference
Is it because of the +477 CH on the relic that it deals more dmg?
how do i unlock eden savage
Exarchic by FAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAR
+10 weapon damage is EXTREMELY EXTREMELY EXTREMELY significant
But... I parsed 5 mins on both and Relic dealt more dmg for some reason O.o
Need at least 10-16+
Oh I see
complete the eden raids on normal via the questline then complete the
in Mord Souq
Thank you
after each tier (4 raids per tier) you can do a new quest for the corresponding savage tier
did you already start the questline for the normal raids?
nopes
Well first finish Base shadowbringers
You don't see any of the vendors so you haven't finish shadowbringers
Yes, 5.0 is a requirement
im at 5.4
alright, then go to the Crystarium
there will be a
called "In the Middle of Nowhere"
that starts the raid questline
wrong ss š seems I don't have it
Is edenmorn gear the same as augmented cryplurker in stats?
Not in substats
I keep posting wrong ss!!
Equal main stats, different substats

anyone got example for BIS for summoner?

i530 2.50 GCD Double Tome Ring
https://etro.gg/gearset/f5f87100-b428-49f3-b10d-4f11736d9a95
2.48 is preferred on all fights
2.50 is potentially better for farming crit runs on e9s/e10s as those are full uptime fights
alright
is there a simple introduction to macros, preferably specifically made for beginners?
never used any so i dont know the uses and such
like for the raids? or?
anything really
there are only a handful of macros that people use in combat
is there a way to show procs in the middle of the screen somehow?
Is there a place/resource I can read about these macros?
Put the proc skills in a seperate hotbar and have it floating nearby
And hide unused slots
to get a full set of cryptlurker would take about 10 or 11 weeks right now. But you don't need the full set for BiS anyway
Unless you want certain pieces for glam
that'd work, thanks
most magic dps cryptlurker are spell speeds as well and should be avoided by Summoner
hello, of all the skills WHM has, are there any I probably would/should never use?
not really
Cure gets replaced at some point
Fluid aura and repose
oh right repose as well
Cure 1 gets outdated but needed for when you're synced
how about rescue?
no, that's good
Useful in the right hands
you can correct other people's mistakes with it
I've saved many people with it
rescue is useful for helping others out
also for trolling people but do that only with friends
usually use it when someone is outside the asylum
and you just want them inside it
chances are they'll walk out again anyway š
Then they have chosen death
where can I attend grand company quests? the poeple in the company hall don't seem to have quests
may need to rank up first for certain quests
also what would proper usage of surecast be? only just finished Heavensward but I don't think i've ever used it
It's anti knockback
you can negate movement effects with it
the wording is just slightly different for casters to make it clear that cast times are also not interrupted
I love negating BOTH knockbacks from Nier last boss Pillar falls
but it essentially lets you cast more often
For craftings, do you need to fully craft the items on the lower level to unlock some recipes on the higher levels ?
No
crafting is only ever locked behind player level and master recipes
Ahh i see, thank you !
thank you, just redoing my hotbars and keybinds and hoping i have everything i need somewhere on them
I have done many attempt at scraping lodestone for member information, but there is alot to remove to get it to the members name & their rank, then thats for each page cuz lodestone displays 50 names at a time.

I am in the progress of creating my account and about to start the free trial game. Does it make sense to primarily play Thamaturge but also level up Conjurer if parties need a healer or is it not something I should worry about until I get further into the game?
If you want to play BLM it's perfectly fine to only play BLM, parties will always need healers anyway
Having a healer on hand is great
Healer basically gets instant invites
While dps sometimes wait 10 minutes
If your on a preferred server its even easier
What are the preferred servers? (Playing in Europe)
!preferred chaos
!preferred light
How do you farm Bozjan Clusters?
Do you just run around and do fates/engagements or...?
I'm trying to gain Mettle and farm some memory of the dying at the same time and people recommended Cluster Farms but I'm not really sure what that is
how do u negate both
surecast early enough
you have to be SO close to the first pillar fall
like, you'd think that you're too late, but you need to anti kb so close to the first pillar falling
Clusters come from magitek mobs, doesn't really gel with a mettle farm but its great for the memories. You literally just group them up and kill.
Can get fancy and do all 3 zones at once with coordinating groups
are they not the same as the entire rest of the set?
Scaevan gloves
!iglam scaevan gloves of maiming
Ok. I just canāt check right now
Maiming, stupid bot
Arms length at the EXACT end of the cast bar
the drops from normal eden gate raid worth getting?
It's pretty precise
!iglam scaevan gauntlets of maiming
there you go
Gate and verse are outdated, just glamour now
ah i see
how people farmed 1m mgp in 4 days

thanks
Whatās the deadline for the fashion report again? Tonight?
Weekly reset
Hey guys, newbie question there, I'm struggling to unlock my first Dungeon for the Duty Finder, there's simply no quest, and my story line is leading me to another zone already, what am I missing? Thanks in advance
you grind it

are the blue quests important
the botany/mining minigames are pretty decent MGP if you get really good at them
But people probably took advantage of the moogle tomestone event since one of the turn-in options is 50k MGP for 60 tomes
@faint flare ahh so I keep playing despite the travelling to other zones, thanks!
difference between #questions-and-help and #beginner-lounge
just noticed there's a new channel below this one

You can fuck around and meme on the other
wait when did the new channel happen?
today
While we slept
Is Shb relic as long as eureka relic?
No
Ranking in bojza is much faster than elemental levels
And you only "need" rank 10 to get all the relic steps, which is like 8 hours
Only real time consuming step is the DR step cause people are dumb and don't use dps increasing stuff
Rest aren't that bad
What's DR?
Delerum
Ok ty
iirc the chaos DC has a nice discord for this stuff
Not sure if they do this one tho
to get edenmorn gear do i need to get edenmete gear first?
edenmorn is savage loot
you need to clear all floors of eden's promise savage to get a full edenmorn gearset
Saw it on reddit earlier
Ok ty!
!weekly
Thanks
question does me doing the main quest will get me to lvl50 ?
is that the efficient way
@lethal cape how were you testing your dps between the two weapons?
oh that was awhile ago
Question - What exactly does TPS mean in E12S runs? Is it some kinda strat? Because I haven't found much info about it.
Thoughts per second strat
Does aether or primal have a bigger population then crystal?
TPS was one of the world first raid groups
And it's using the strat they used for basic relativity
TPS cleared it early so everyone uses their strat bc it works
Any guide explaining what it is?
I need to check what it is
Is there a way to close chat again in a cutscene when you've opened it?
Seemed to have worked during one but can't do it in the one I'm watching rn

Oh it's the braindead Basic strat
Basically blizzard dps takes first set of mirrors, Healers move to the side of where the group is stacked for the knockback then tanks do last while final debuff resolves

Hey guys, im currently saving my screenshot as PNG file but the quality is still really bad. Does it come out grainy always :(? Are there any ways i can save high quality screenshots
screenshots are dependent on your game resolution iirc
i want to redeem the referral code of a friend. i'm currently on a free trial account and don't have the option. do i need to first buy the game to enter the code? i read somewhere that you can't redeem the code once you're subscribed.
you need to buy the game yes
once you buy the game you get 30 free days
after that you need to subscribe
so you would enter the code during those 30 days
ok, ty
Oh hmm, let me try to up the resolution
ugh what a pain .. had it hidden in the HUD
thanks š
Hmm dang, its still horrible resolution after upping to 1440p in game resolution š¦
is your monitor 1440p?
which level quest are you looking for and where are you in the MSQ
And if its the quest past a level cap you need to actually hit the next expansion
Im in heavensward
and im looking to start the Heavenward bard class quest
Your next job quest is under the main scenario tracker
Just click the quest below your msq hud element
It will literally show you the exact location on a map
there's nothing
Then you're up to date
Then you don't meet the requirements for the next
What level quest are you looking for?
Hit a dummy
The first one from sanson
LEVEL
52
And you have access to Ishgard?
And how do you know you're in heavensward, have you actually entered ishgard?
Cuz just finishing base arr isn't starting heavensward
You have to go through allllll the arr patch content first
what's the best lvl 50 crafter gear
Which is 80 quests after Ultimate weapon
gc gear?
....so I'm trying to figure this out but
Nope
yea,Im not sure why he isnt appearing
You only did one of the level 50 quests
are the Beast tribe quests meant for when you've finished MSQ and other content and have time to spare?
where
you have your MSQ tracker in the top left
You can do them alongside. They're just daily quests
is there no smaller quest underneath it?
because I'm not sure if it's worth it to keep travelling to the far off areas everyday tbh
They take like 2 mins to do
it costs money/time to get there so
That's what we were talking about
you should probably do that then
]I'm so fucking dumb
Yeah we mentioned that earlier
Your job quests show under the main scenario tracker
clicking them gives you a general idea of where the quest giver is
Is a timeworn leather map worth using or selling? It's on market for 50k but I'm not sure if there are crafting mats locked behind it like the zonurskins were
Ok,thanks for the help.I cant believe I didnt see it
Up to you, I'd just do it for the lols since they're not bought that often
Who knows you might get a rare drop like the mist beard mask
Idk if that's actually in the leather map loot pool ĀÆ\_(ć)_/ĀÆ
The same one for both?

Does Skybuilder's Yew Log not exist in the Diadem or something?
Not anymore
Wh-
It's fucking old
Noooooooooooooooo
We've moved on to the grade 4 materials
I know there's just the cannon now right
Yeah
Why do you need them?
So then what level can I start spamming ishgard for levels?
20
can i finish the gilding the bilious quest
aurum vale duty finder unsync
You do grade 4 receipes
Look at the grade 4 recipes
Oh am I doing it wrong?
Grade is a bit misleading, they're not better, they're just newer
You're looking at the wrong receipes
Click phase/grade 4
Those are the ones you can make
As we were rebuilding the firmament we went through multiple phases
Ohhh okay thank you, I knew I must have been doing something wrong. Guess I'm just brain melting from this stuff.
We're done now so the final phase: using grade 4 materials is just staying now
The old recipes exist to confuse new players burn old materials
?
Yeah it confused the heck out of me
!quest gilding the billious
Unless specified you can do quests unsynced
Are there any recommendations on what specialist crafters to pick?
I have everything at 80 now.
Leveling a job 30 to 50. Whatās a good zones to do side quests in while waiting for leveling roulette
Whatever you want. It'd primarily a stat boost
Side quest exp is garbage no matter what, so it doesn't really matter
3 times a week
Also you should only do leveling roulette once a day
Scroll lock to hide your hud

Find the equivalent keybind if you're on console
Tf is that
a screenshot program
Your program probably has cropping tools idk
Yeah it is š¦
I cant use Any screenshots programs inside the game
Theres always gpose
hmm i'm not sure why you get low quality screencaps
Then look up how your screenshot program works
!faq blmleveling
And why it's not working with ff14
prnt sc
Thanks! @manic rune
Then I got nothing
are tome items lost after this event
why is my glamour plate doing this for my weapon? wont let me glamour it
thanks
What was it i needed to buy once i got a new plot of land
are my layouts and keybinds saved serverside? or do i need to redo them, when i play on another pc?
are you using the same job as for this glamour ?
You can't make weak weapons look better than they are
And you have to match job restrictiobs
Correct job and equip level?
So you can't make a smn book look like a sch book
yeah im playing summoner
Can't glamour low level items with higher level gear
You have to be applying that to a smn book of item level 95 or higher
oooh i see
Basically go get your ironworks weapon
ok tyvm
Can I somehow move or fade pop-up description window when I hover the cursor over something? It blocks the item that I target and I can't see anymore where to move the cursor next up or down the list
Like this
I can't see the list under the pop-up
yes, should be in UI settings as "pop-up help"
you can change it to fixed in bottom left or bottom right corner
Ok then whatās the go to way to level around the 30 range?
"Position" here
Highest level dungeon you have access to
!faq altlvlguide
But what Kat said is pretty much it
Yeah, same dummy
Probably crit hit difference or something
which one is more worth to buy for irregular tomestone of pageantry, the MGP Platinum Card which grants you 50 000 mgp or the Disembodied Head Resonator mount?
should i start my relic weapon quests at 50?
Honestly no
Just buy an augmented ironworks weapon asap
where do i do that
Relics are grindy weapons that end up being the best weapon of a given expansion. But they're, again, really grindy. The arr relics being probably THE WORST in this game so far
but i have to start the level 50 relic quest line to get the best relic end game?
Mor dhona for poetics tomes. You get poetics tomes for doing level cap content (50/60/70)
It won't be good until the very very end
And even then only a little bit better than augmented ironworks
Relic weapons are for good looks, not for stats.
i see i see
Hell arr relics are also a pain to even make good since they use materia to customize their stats and 1-4 materia are a pain to get
b o o k s
so how do you get the best end game gear currently
by far the most painful relic step
Poetics tomes are use to buy the best gear of older expansions
Does Puglist get fun?
So the augmented ironworks gear I told you about is pretty much the best gear you can get in arr
"Fun" is subjective.
Compare is to mystic out of bdo
I like fast engaging combat
I never played BDO, so I can't make a comparison there.
Well it's got the fastest gcd eventually iirc
But I don't know if I, personally, would call MNK's playstyle "fast" or "engaging".
It's got the most positionals of any melee dps.
But you'll never truly be rid of the 2.5s gcd if that's what's bothering you
But it's still largely a 1-2-3 combo class.
Yeah I was gonna ask can you make the gcd lower with stats
A little, but not much.
Yeah but at best you'll cap out at around 2s
And often you don't want to for the sake of weaves.
The level 50 relic quest line isn't required to do the level 60, 70, or 80 relics. They're separate from each other
yeah I might
oh i thought it was a continued relic thast you keep upgrading kind of
No, relics are self-contained within each expansion.
nope, each expansion has their own set of shiny relics
Once the expansion is over, the relic is just really time-intensive glamour.
Is WHM easier to play that AST? I leveled my AST to 80 and loved it
oh i see
Yes. WHM is broadly considered the easiest healer in the game.
Yes, WHM is a lot more streamlined overall.
Is their dps ok? Cost ast dps is so bad lol
Yes. WHM dps is fine.
Is there a way to hide equipped earrings?
also I am the highest level on my Puglist if I were to level a class now as I go through MSQ will that be a waste of xp since you get more the higher your main one is?
Nice ill give it a go thr ARR relics look nice for WhM
you can glamour them into the Emperor's New Earring
glamour over emperor's new earrings
which has no visible model
WHM's arr relic is great
What do you mean?
You're level 80 as a PUG?
Ast dps is low cuz card buffs to other players make up for it so yeah the other 2 healers have better individual dps
PGL is just their highest level char i'm guessing
but if I were to change to a different job would that be a waste of time to do so now
Ahh ok @warm snow trying kill stuff in shb MSQ was torture on it lol though gravity and regen helped alot
Oh. PUG is your highest level class? That's normal. If you're on a preferred server, it's recommended to pick up a second class to level on the side so you don't end up wasting xp towards the end of the MSQ.
What level is your MSQ at, and what level are you as PUG?
I am level 26 atm on Pug MSQ I just did the lord of Inferno
I mean, that's gonna be a thing for all healers in general. You can't just pull huge packs and expect to burn them down as fast as a dps class could.
are you on a preferred server with road to 70
How do I check?
Oh no buffs
That's actually not too bad. Lord of the Inferno is around level 20 or so, right?
should be 24?
So you're only 6 levels ahead of MSQ.
or was that the second one, i forget
Lord of the Inferno is before you join a GC. You join a GC at 20 MSQ
ah
I think so
so.. i see classes like the dancers and rdm etc etc
seem to get class gear from their story
do dark knights and machinists not get that stuff?
it doesn't seem like it'd be a problem levelling up a second job then
I have picked up all the jobs I could just incaser
They do.
with brand-new ring from hall of the novice and armoury bonus from having a higher levle character, you can get it levelled up relatively quickly
You get a chest with class gear upon completing the 50/60/70 job quests.
For non ARR jobs.
remember receiving that, i do not hmm
my drk still dressed like a hobo
I do like that yellow outfit PUG/MNK get
