[lunar current]

Hello, does anyone know when does the EU live chat open? Support page says 11:00 UK time but already couple hours past that.

[alpine shadow]

did you make an inquiry from support.eu.square-enix.com?

aka, if it shows only email option

[lunar current]

Yeah I have a ticket number, but the part below it says chat service is currently unavailable

[stray mason]

How do I buy the emperors new earrings? Im at tthe NPC Tataroga and she only offers some kind of prism item exchange?

[alpine shadow]

weird

[stray mason]

is there supposed to be a buy option?

[restive sun]

skill speed also gcd or?

[faint flare]

Physical gcds yes

[halcyon tulip]

You need to level a crafter to purchase the emperors items iirc

[stray mason]

How do I go about doing that?

[agile laurel]

Well, you need the quest completed

[halcyon tulip]

You can also buy it from the marketboard if you aren't on free trial

[quaint bobcat]

New player here, just reached 18 and I still have no clue how to unlock crafting 😦

The NPC just says I need to finish my level 10 quest, which I have done a long time ago 😛

[faint flare]

Do the unlock quests at the respective guilds

[quaint bobcat]

They're locked for me still

[faint flare]

Your lv10 CLASS

Quest

From your trainee

[quaint bobcat]

Isn't that the quest where you fight the masked man? I'm playing as a Conjurer

[faint flare]

No that's the story

Same for everyone

[halcyon tulip]

The conjurer quest from the guild

[quaint bobcat]

🙃

[faint flare]

They're the quests from your guild

They're MANDATORY to do

Your current class quest is shown under the main scenario tracker top left

[rotund sable]

what's up with bozja fate spawns? been trying to get https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/More_Machine_Now_than_Man to spawn but it seems to not fancy it

unless the site is wrong and it's not 4th slashers i need to be bonking

[faint flare]

Just kill magitek mobs in zone 1

It had a 1 hour Cooldown

[rotund sable]

oh it's an hour?

[faint flare]

And no other CEs or CE spawning skirmish can be up

[rotund sable]

thats rough

alright thanks

[leaden ginkgo]

hi guys, i got locked out of my msq (requires 49). whats a fast way to level up without the msq?

i tried leveling but no [arties

[faint flare]

Daily roulettes then highest level dungeon

[open coral]

You shouldn't be too far behind level for the MSQ.

You can do your hunt log while you queue for dungeons.

[fading aurora]

Is a fully melded ilvl485 relic wep better than a fully melded 510 exarchic?

Ive noticed it had more materia slots

[shut panther]

no

[faint flare]

No

[open coral]

But uh... it is very early morning for NA right now. And a Monday. So obviously there will be fewer people queueing.

[shut panther]

weapon damage >>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> substats

[honest anvil]

that’s 25 ilv difference >.>

[faint flare]

And alot of weapon damage

[shut panther]

in most cases a 510 item with bad substats beats a 500 item with good ones, nevermind in a case with 25 ilvls and it being a weapon

[warm snow]

At most substats can compensate for about a 5 ilevel difference

[warm snow]

God no

[leaden ginkgo]

this is only once a day?

[modest igloo]

Yep

[leaden ginkgo]

oh snap

i only got the titan one and only 200k exp

anything else i can do

im a few quests from finishing a realm reborn

Leveling Guide for Alt jobs 🍻

Level 1 to 70 in five days (Stormblood)

[faint flare]

Highest level dungeon

aka aurum vale

[gusty island]

Is there a way to filter normal sidequests from showing on the map?
I'm currently only interested in MSQ and Feature Quests

[modest igloo]

Nope

[leaden ginkgo]

so duty finder?

i see

[gusty island]

rip, ty

[leaden ginkgo]

my highest one is stone vigil

[faint flare]

Go unlock aurum vale in vesper bay

[leaden ginkgo]

where can i find daily hunt?

[faint flare]

Hunts are a 50+ thing

[leaden ginkgo]

i see

so unlock aurum, got it thanks

[tidal yarrow]

the first of the father is A4 right?

[modest igloo]

A1

most are inspired, some are new

[warm snow]

Yes and no

Reaper and sage are brand new

Paladins and black mages have been around since ff1

[bold tulip]

are you suppose to use recruit a friend code before the 30 day free play period ends?

[warm snow]

Yes

[halcyon tulip]

Before you sub

[warm snow]

Once you buy game time you're not a recruit you're a convert

[tidal yarrow]

thank u

[leaden ginkgo]

why most people focusing on duels for bozja does it has something for weapon step ?

[warm snow]

Guaranteed field notes drop

Also achievements

All field noted = mount

[faint flare]

Alot of mettle

99 boxes

[bold tulip]

i haven't subscribed yet. my 30 day free play period ended yesterday. i'm trying to use a code now but it's not working for me. does that mean I'm too late?

[faint flare]

Mettle buff for an hour for everyone nearby

[warm snow]

Yrah

[faint flare]

And duels are fun

[leaden ginkgo]

field notes i have alot of this but dont know what to do with

[warm snow]

You use them

[faint flare]

Use them

[bold tulip]

oh ):

[leaden ginkgo]

i did and still

[warm snow]

And if you can't use them you trade them for coins/lootboxes

[faint flare]

Duplicates are traded at the historian

Which you are told about

[warm snow]

Duty > Collection > Field Records

[faint flare]

They specifically introduced each npc in bojza and said what they do

[warm snow]

To see which field notes you have

And read them

This was all explained to you at the start of bozja

[warm snow]

See everything we said above

[leaden ginkgo]

i mean after i use it it just showing me their story ?

[warm snow]

That's what they are

[faint flare]

Yes, they're lore bitd

[warm snow]

Lore notes for bozja

Collect them all and there's a mount from an achievement

[faint flare]

Getting them all is an achievement for a 2 seater mount

[leaden ginkgo]

o i see

how can i duel with one of them

i wanna try it

[faint flare]

Don't get any vuln stacks on the CE before it

[warm snow]

You get duel invites from ces

[faint flare]

And you NEED to read a guide

[warm snow]

Don't get a vuln stack in a ce for an invite

[leaden ginkgo]

a guide >_> ?

[faint flare]

Getting hit by ANYTHING kills you in a duel

And they have required lost actions

[leaden ginkgo]

do you mean im going to lose mettle ?

[warm snow]

If you die

[faint flare]

Yes

[warm snow]

*when you die

[leaden ginkgo]

bro

[faint flare]

If you're not prepared

[warm snow]

They're not easy

[faint flare]

They're a challenge

[leaden ginkgo]

heehe

[faint flare]

Theu test your mechanical knowledge

[warm snow]

Including bozja mechanics

[leaden ginkgo]

my brain is dead

[faint flare]

And thr ability to use lost actions accordingly

[warm snow]

For example one duel in Zadnor requires you to use light curtain

At least one

I haven't seen them all

[leaden ginkgo]

i havent unlock a lot of lost actions

i just have movement speed and hide

[faint flare]

Gabriel needs manawall, Lyon in bojza needs dispel and manawall, Pyro guy need manawall and 3 medikits

In BSF

[wispy basalt]

how can i unlock this quest

[halcyon tulip]

Level your squadrons

[faint flare]

Zadnor duels need Impetus (gap closer or Excellence for Left arm wave), Memeboy needs Light curtain and Manawall/excellence..
lyon in Zadnor needs 3 dispels

[wispy basalt]

is it like trust system ?

[leaden ginkgo]

ima leave duel for later

i cant even do arr raid mechanics

[halcyon tulip]

There is the option to do dungeon with them

[warm snow]

Think prototype trust

[wispy basalt]

how exacly to level them

[night oxide]

anyone know how close 'on the counteroffensive' is to hw, sorry im burning out a bit and need some motivation

[warm snow]

Do squadron missions

[halcyon tulip]

Send them to do missions

[faint flare]

Send them on missions

[wispy basalt]

from ?

[cunning loom]

what rank are you in your GC

[warm snow]

Almost at the end of the second last patch. Not counting crystal tower completion though as you'll need it

[wispy basalt]

second storm lie

[halcyon tulip]

Have you unlocked squadrons yet?

[wispy basalt]

yes

just now

[night oxide]

ah okie dokie ty, guess i still have a while to go, can i do crystal tower whenever i want or does the msq guide me to it?

[warm snow]

You'll be hit with a hard requirement in the next patch

[faint flare]

You need to do it before 2.5 cause you'll get blocked

[warm snow]

It's mandatory to do heavensward as it's actually become part of the main story

For reasons we won't get into cuz spoils

Game would have warned you about that though

[halcyon tulip]

Do you have squadron members? If not then do challenge logs to get them

[wispy basalt]

3 of them

are here

awesome sauce, thanks for the motivation!!!

[wispy basalt]

thanks

[errant ice]

I deleted my character but their retainer's name didn't get freed up after a few days

am I shit out of luck

[warm snow]

Probably, retainer names are honestly pretty pointless

[errant ice]

should have deleted my retainer before deleting my char

[halcyon tulip]

You could wait for couple weeks to see if it gets free

[inland pasture]

Who is the best healer for organized raids?

[warm snow]

Yes

[modest igloo]

all 3

[faint flare]

Yes

[warm snow]

!faq meta

[zinc orbit]

How FFXIV's Meta Works

All jobs are good and viable in all content. The difference between meta and non-meta is minor, to the point that player skill is a significantly more important factor. Play what you enjoy/what interests you most, and you can make it work.

[faint flare]

All healers need to plan their shit

[modest igloo]

WHM is the most reactive

[warm snow]

[pulsar escarp]

normally you'd have one on shield and one on pure healing though but it's not that critical

[modest igloo]

but SCH and AST heals great

[pulsar escarp]

to have one over the other

[inland pasture]

Which has the most impact on the speed of the raid?

[warm snow]

Yes

[faint flare]

Yes

[pulsar escarp]

once again yes

that's player skill

[warm snow]

We will keep meme answering cuz it's player skill that's way more important

[open coral]

We cannot emphasize enough that there is no meta for any role.

[faint flare]

Press your buttons idiots

And do your job

[warm snow]

The one played by the better player

[modest igloo]

if you're looking for a healer that is the most reactive to shit happening, then WHM would do great there

"oops my tank sucks and he took a TB with no cooldowns guess I'll help"

shadowbringers spoiler

[warm snow]

Spoils

We ain't getting into this rn

[modest igloo]

yes. more on that later in the MSQ.

[pulsar escarp]

as a general rule

don't check the wiki

if you're not done

[modest igloo]

no.

[warm snow]

No they're not

[heavy wadi]

They're not.

[warm snow]

Although they are based on them

[pulsar escarp]

that you can estabilish already that it's different

[heavy wadi]

Again, spoilers.

[pulsar escarp]

not really for the CGI trailer I think

[modest igloo]

you'll see why soon.

[pallid bluff]

do different materias explode differently?

[modest igloo]

no

[warm snow]

The trailer characters are you and your allies

[pulsar escarp]

yep

that's it

[warm snow]

The warriors are based on them but aren't them

[pulsar escarp]

trailer guy with the shaggy hair is you technically

these are different, that's all we can say

[heavy wadi]

Trailer characters are standins for you, yeah

[warm snow]

The allies stop showing up after the arr trailers anyways

[pulsar escarp]

LMAO yeah

[fierce fable]

Can I buy just the ShadowBringers CE, as that will include Stormblood, or do I need to get the complete edition?

[alpine shadow]

in the wiki you can see that the ||"meteor survivor" and "warrior of the darkness" are two different pages||

[warm snow]

Yes

[pulsar escarp]

ngl just don't wiki things

if you're not done don't even touch that shit because you might come across something accidentally

[warm snow]

Complete is base game + shb

ShB includes stormblood

[fierce fable]

Thank you very much, @warm snow

[astral bolt]

so to switch from the steam version free trial to full version, do I have to uninstall the whole thing and reinstall it?

[green grail]

then ask in #archived-lore-spoilers , this channel is full of new players who do care

[warm snow]

There's only ever 2 available purchases for ff14 base game and expansion purchase expansion purchase is for all currently available expansions.

This does not include preorders for upcoming expansions

[fierce fable]

Is there any reason to get the Steam version over the PC version?

[warm snow]

Steam sale at the time

That's about it

[pallid bluff]

i remember seeing a small explosion and a big explosion do you know what the difference is?

[astral bolt]

I mean they're sorta inter-changable right?

[warm snow]

For advanced melding the game will automatically attempt melds until it succeeds. All the failures will basically go off at once

[astral bolt]

like subscription wise

[jade quartz]

Yes. Steam players can use Steam Wallet.

[pallid bluff]

ah, okay

[jade quartz]

Apart from that they're the same

oh, if you mean can you play on both, the answer is no.

But they both have the same sub costs and account management

[warm snow]

Sorry not sub wise, you're locked to buying expansions on steam or from se though

[jade quartz]

it's just a question of where you wanna buy future expansions and launch the game from.

[vital ruin]

anyone has pagos mob location ss?

[jade quartz]

!faq pagosmap

[zinc orbit]

!faq eurekapagos

[zinc orbit]

[warm snow]

[vital ruin]

[astral bolt]

can I convert characters from steam to PC version then? :/

[warm snow]

Nope

Your account is PERMANENTLY steam or pc

[jade quartz]

!faq addalias eurekapagos pagosmap

[zinc orbit]

Success!

New command alias added: pagosmap to eurekapagos, Kupo!

[astral bolt]

ehh... honestly I don't see what the big deal is lol

[pulsar escarp]

less discounts, I think

[jade quartz]

As it's a permanent choice it's important to be aware of it.

But neither version is inherently superior or inferior.

[astral bolt]

I've long been playing the free trial on steam so shrug

you guys just said I can't convert them to PC version

technically they're both on PC

[mild ermine]

standalone version then

[warm snow]

We usually say square Enix or steam version

To avoid confusion

[jade quartz]

Steam and non-Steam PC versions are separate licenses and cannot both be registered to the same account.

All versions of the game are Square Enix versions.

[warm snow]

Yeah but ones buying direct from se

[jade quartz]

That just adds confusion.

The non-steam version can be bought from vendors other than SE.

[astral bolt]

at least there isn't an Epic Game Store version 😏

[warm snow]

Afaik egs doesn't have much presence in japan

[shut panther]

fortnite is pretty big with the younger lot here hoenstly

though admittedly

probably not much on pc

[astral bolt]

doesn't Kingdom Hearts belong to Disney?

[warm snow]

Yup

Pc is also not a popular gaming platform in jp

Outside

Ehem visual novels

[astral bolt]

I can't fathom playing MMO on console o.o

it's like playing an RTS on console. so many buttons needed

[warm snow]

Ff14 plays fine on controller

I play controller on pc but that's getting into #general-discussion

[astral bolt]

yeah but what about macros?

[cunning loom]

yeah FFXIV is surprisingly good on console

[astral bolt]

or typing chat?

[warm snow]

What about them?

[mild ermine]

It actually plays just fine on controller. But just an FYI you can use keyboard and mouse on console.

[warm snow]

Macros are just assigned to a button

[pulsar escarp]

typing you can just wire up a keyboard normally but some just avoid it if they can't

[mild ermine]

You can use the playstation app on your phone to type.

[pulsar escarp]

not necessary

[mild ermine]

ReShade isnt needed to play

just a luxury

[warm snow]

I shall inform the national guard of this war crime

Anyways

Questions channel

[astral bolt]

okok actual question. can people moniter my dps in dungeons?

[dusky nebula]

ifi have a card game time for 60 days will it work if i redeem the code in Mogstation even if i own the game on Steam?

[warm snow]

Yes with third party software

[cunning loom]

if they mention your dps at any time they could get reported for it

[warm snow]

That type of third part software is against tos

[cunning loom]

but people tend to use ACT which parses the team's DPS

[pulsar escarp]

it's mostly used to monitor damage in higher tier content, however.

[warm snow]

And they're likely to ban those that use them to be dicks

Mentioning it in chat will probably get you in trouble

[astral bolt]

I worry people flame me to dps when I'm learning to play healer

[open coral]

That would be bannable

[pulsar escarp]

,...? Squeenix knows it exists and still recognise the players who clear high tier content with it, but it's against tos to flame your dps with an ACT

[open coral]

So they won't.

[pulsar escarp]

however, though it won't be clear if you're a healer, people can still notice the dps is subpar if a dungeon takes longer than it should

[pallid bluff]

although you should still be dpsing as healer

[pulsar escarp]

so you shouldn't and can't immediately accuse someone complaining about dps for using an ACT

[pallid bluff]

i know i wait until the last moment to use essential dignity

[astral bolt]

umm... what's an ACT?

[pallid bluff]

advanced combat tracker

3rd party program

[pulsar escarp]

basically the dps measuring third party thing

[open coral]

Advanced Combat Tracker, it's an addon that measures combat numbers (dps, healing, damage taken, etc.)

It's the only game in town

[astral bolt]

actually, how do I dps as white mate (lv 39)? seems like all the enemies are near dead by the time I finish applying Aero on every enemy

[pulsar escarp]

ah.

[open coral]

Dotting things with Aero is fine.

You can use Stone, too

[pallid bluff]

spam stone

[untold surge]

Just do what you can for now, till you unlock Holy.

[pallid bluff]

aero 1 really isn't that good unless it does all of the damage

[open coral]

Learning to dot mobs with Aero is fine.

[untold surge]

It's a skill, alright. Timely precise targeting is important for healers.

[open coral]

In a group it's not going to matter if the WHM is spamming Stone or dotting things with Aero as long as everything dies.

[little swift]

Dot while the pull is happening, not when the tank has stopped moving

Let's you chip away at mobs

[warm snow]

Dotting everything is fine until you get Holy at 45

[little swift]

And then you can stone/holy away after

[strong sphinx]

i know that they didnt lifted the weekly lock in Savage regarding the chests, but are you able to atleast farm the books without having to wait a week?

[shut panther]

no

[strong sphinx]

aww sad okay

thanks

[pallid bluff]

is the "lalafell panic animation" an emote?

i've only seen it from npcs

[warm snow]

Probably /aback

[open rivet]

you're already doing more than other WHMs at that level (or if you're taking my experience w/ DF healers, even at higher level).
at 45 you'll get your flashbang that'll get some use out of you.
but you're on the right track already.

[shut panther]

holy is love. holy is light.

[modest igloo]

holy fuck is holy bright

[astral bolt]

the holy light will lead us

[finite hare]

what if i change class (job), can i just straight up continue doing campaign (im around level 20 campaign quests now)? what is the best way to level alts if that is not available?

[open rivet]

I didn't call it flashbang for nothing

[open coral]

Only lalafels get that version of it, but yes. It's a thing.

[shut panther]

you'll have to catch up to that level on your new job, generally at the lowest level that means hunting logs

[cunning loom]

as long as your other job meets the level of the msq, yes you can continue it

[shut panther]

I recommend getting a mount at least before you change jobs

[open rivet]

doing your Hunt Log, Challenge Log, Fates & Levequests is a good way to start your classes until they're at least level 15 to join dungeons.

[finite hare]

thanks guys, what about the mount? it unlocks by following the story line? or is there a de-tour somewhere?

[open coral]

MSQ

If you're at the level 20 MSQ you're very close.

[shut panther]

yeah, you'll get it very soon via the msq

[finite hare]

alrighty, much appreciated 🙂

[pallid bluff]

you get flying at 50

[modest igloo]

some of them

[shut panther]

some are what I want to say is russian

but there's definitely some icelandic?

And I guess that also brings up another question. Since my SE account is linked to my PSN...Do we know if changing PSN names effect anything with FFXIV?

I'm doing the second mining quest, and i was asked to gather bone chips. I searched online and it said it can be mined from level 5 mineral deposits from central Thanalan, but when attempting to mine such deposit, i don't see it there

if you click on bone chips it'll show you a map where you can gather it

[gleaming sail]

oooh, nice, it shows a region

thanks

[shut panther]

followed by fates, guildhest roulette and dungeon after.. 14?

[pallid bluff]

if the class quest "unlocked new ability" animations are different in heavensward, are they also different in SB and SHB?

[leaden ginkgo]

I should've checked when I capped GNB, sorry fam.

[fallen coyote]

Dungeons. Do i lead the group to treasure coffers or is it common to just skip them? Do they help newer players (like me)?

[shut panther]

it's common to skip them

but not required and you shouldn't feel bad about getting them

[fallen coyote]

Yeah i assumed. I just love to do stuff 100% but i dont wanna be a burden to the skilled/fast players.

[heavy wadi]

In some dungeons people don't skip chests because the dungeon has good looking sets

[fallen coyote]

So each dungeon has a set with its own style?

[glossy flare]

yup

[shut panther]

some are shared

but yeah

[fallen coyote]

Hm, cool to know thanks.

[glossy flare]

technically different sets but styles have some degree of repetition

still kinda distinct though, even if only in colour

or the ability to dye them

[fallen coyote]

I mean i can just ask the group what they want, coffers jay or nay, but i am in the early game dungeons and people dont seem to talk to much over the duty finder

[warm snow]

Ish

[vestal cobalt]

Ui problem.

I currently have 4 hotbars set for skills, but when I change jobs the first three auto change to another set. While the 4th remains the same and has to be manually rearranged.

Cant seem to find a toggle for this in the options menu

[warm snow]

Shared hotvars

Is the toggle you're looking for

[glossy flare]

go into your hotbar settings and check which hotbars should be shared or not

[vestal cobalt]

Ok will do… thanks

[glossy flare]

can assign that property for each one

[warm snow]

Also

[glossy flare]

so in your case you'd want to turn no. 4 off

[somber veldt]

Hey, short question. I am leveling my first character (WoW-Refugee) and want to look into the other classes/jobs. I see people running around with "highly increased XP to lvl 70", but i dont want to wait til 70 or higher until i can look into the others. Do i get a XP-increase on lower levels as long as i have a higher class or is there a special way to do it?

[warm snow]

To copy your hotbars from classes to jobs

[vestal cobalt]

Thanks

[glossy flare]

Yes, you do get the armoury bonus for any job below your highest one

[warm snow]

You can play with jobs whenever but also

[glossy flare]

Which is an okay bonus but not a huge deal

[warm snow]

!faq armouryexp

[zinc orbit]

Armoury EXP bonus FAQ

'How do I get the bonus experience from the Armoury?'

As long as you're playing a Disciple of War or a Disciple of Magic class that's a lower level than your highest level class then you're able to benefit from the bonus experience. You do not need to have a class at level 80 for the bonus to be active.

'How much is the bonus experience?'

You get +100% experience from levels 1 to 69, which then reduces to +50% for level 70 to 79. The difference in level between your current class and highest class does not change the amount of experience you get.

[warm snow]

Your road to 70 buff will also stick a round for 90 days

The buff you see on people is because you are on a preferred server and newly created characters get that for 90 days

So if you yourself don't have it you probably missed it

[untold surge]

Wait, we get armoury bonuses from 70 to 79 too? Is this new, or have i slept on it all this time?

[warm snow]

Always had it

[glossy flare]

You get it too, but it's less

[stable grail]

Hello, is there a way to update retainers gil shown without opening each of them individually? Or there is s bug on my end that its always should be updated?

[warm snow]

It's just nerfed for those last 10

[glossy flare]

only 50% instead of 100%

[warm snow]

No

[shut panther]

it doesn't process the sales on your end until you open them

afaik

[hearty mango]

armory bonus applies for every class below your highest level class

[stray mason]

Just curious, is FFXIV lore related in any way to other final fantasy games?

[stable grail]

I see well thats a pain

[shut panther]

directly? no. but there's infinite references and call backs

[leaden ginkgo]

they will remove poetics ?

[shut panther]

no, they'll move the current tomes onto poetics

[untold surge]

Well, thanks. I might have more motivation now to get a DPS class to 80.

[leaden ginkgo]

like ?

[shut panther]

what do you mean, like? allegory and revelation will be poetics.

[untold surge]

Yes.

[shut panther]

oh I'm dumb don't mind me.

[warm snow]

There's an alternate dalmasca where the events of ff12 went differently but that's about the deepest it's gotten

[heavy wadi]

Ff14 often references and takes characters/bosses/locations from other games, but its not directly connected to any of them, no.

[untold surge]

Look at the Scaeven set from StB for example. It's Poetics now.

[leaden ginkgo]

[warm snow]

Everything else is just references

We have a crystal tower like ff3, we have a biggs, a wedge, a cid

[glossy flare]

point is you can play xiv without any prior ff knowledge

no harm in that

[warm snow]

I could go on for hours but you don't need any prior ff knowledge

It's like hearing the Stephen strange name drop in captain America winter soldier, means nothing if you don't know, cool if you do

[leaden ginkgo]

cid from ff3 ?

[glossy flare]

there is a cid

[latent nebula]

Is there any website where I can find all the items and cosmetics of the game?

[glossy flare]

but not that cid

[leaden ginkgo]

our cid is original then ?

[glossy flare]

yes, though obviously kinda similar

mechanics named cid are an ff staple is all

[leaden ginkgo]

bjust a white beard

[warm snow]

ORIGINAL CHARACTER DNT STEAL

[leaden ginkgo]

to late

[warm snow]

I mean its the same cid from 1.0 who didn't have a beard back then if you wanna be snarky

[gleaming sail]

is there a benefit to an item being spiritbound, or should i always just extract the materia from it?

[warm snow]

Just extract

[glossy flare]

gamerscape does have all the items, usually with previews. However there is also eorzea collection which is more glamour focused

[warm snow]

Back in the day extracting materia destroyed the piece of gear

But that was pre shadowbringers and that's thankfully gone

[wispy basalt]

wait what

thats painful lol

[gleaming sail]

that does sound like a pain in the ass

[warm snow]

Would I lie to you seth?

[glossy flare]

I dunno, you're kinda sus

[wispy basalt]

im happy that i started ff after shb released

[latent nebula]

That's what I needed, thanks a lot!

[warm snow]

The correct answer is yes

[wispy basalt]

respect to all vet players

[leaden ginkgo]

[warm snow]

Eorzea collection is still missing a crap ton of glamour sets though

[glossy flare]

that's why I listed both

[warm snow]

Specifically dungeon sets which is annoying

[glossy flare]

eorzea collection is just nice for some glamour inspiration and, imho, prettier previews

[mystic merlin]

is there an item you can use to temporarily boost Craftsmanship and control?

[faint flare]

Food generally

[warm snow]

Syrup and tea

[faint flare]

And craftsmanship teas for 1 stats

[warm snow]

There's also an fc boost

And finally you can meld your gear

[leaden ginkgo]

is it normal that the aurum set is better than the dragoon blue set?

[warm snow]

Yeah

Most of that gear is for level 45

[leaden ginkgo]

awww i really wanted to wear the blue set

[warm snow]

Just use glamour

Hell you can throw the initial set in the armoire so it's free glam

[leaden ginkgo]

how do you get the free glam

i wasted my prisms already XD

[warm snow]

Well first: STRIP

The level 45 stuff and the chest piece you get from your level 50 quest can be stored in the armoire which doesn't require glamour prisms

They will need to be fully repaired though

[leaden ginkgo]

oooh i didnt know that!!!

[warm snow]

After that you can go to glamour dresser and access the armoire, apply those pieces of gear to a glamour plate and then apply that plate to yourself

[warm snow]

ONLY THIS SPECIFIC SET of job gear can go in the armoire

Any other sets you get from here cannot

[leaden ginkgo]

ahhh so limited to the blues

[glossy flare]

no

there are other blue items that can't go in there

[warm snow]

No

Just that specific set of gear you get from arr job quests

[leaden ginkgo]

its kinda sad. i wish the blueones were more special

[glossy flare]

they usually are

best gear in the game is blue

[warm snow]

It's purple gear that's the special stuff

[glossy flare]

but yeah, purple is for relics and whatnot

[leaden ginkgo]

should i try the aurum dungeon again. i missed the headgear

[warm snow]

There's no real rhyme or reasons for what's blue or green

[leaden ginkgo]

how do i get the relics?

[warm snow]

Except for relics which are purple

Relics are super grindy flashy weapons that are the best weapon of a given expansion.

Each expansion has its own relics

[leaden ginkgo]

ooh i meant the clothes

are there relic clothes

armor

im duty finder for darth vader dungeon now

so exciting

[glossy flare]

there are sets that are referred to as such, usually tied to a given relic weapon questline

[leaden ginkgo]

its almost 11 i should sleep haha

[glossy flare]

Though they are not quite the same, also not the best set of armour for a given expansion

still fashionable though

[leaden ginkgo]

oooh

so i have to finish theweapon FIRST

[warm snow]

No

[leaden ginkgo]

then i get the flashy relic armors

[modest igloo]

no

[glossy flare]

no, they run alongside the weapon

they are its own thing

[warm snow]

There's only relic armor in stormblood and shadowbringers anyways

[glossy flare]

you just interact with a lot of the same systems you do for the weapon

[modest igloo]

if they locked content behind a relic weapon people would NEVER do them

[glossy flare]

which is why people call it relic armour in the first place

[leaden ginkgo]

sorry noob here, a bit confused

[modest igloo]

what's the average time for an ARR relic, 30-40 hours?

[leaden ginkgo]

is there a way for free trial to get the relic armors?

[glossy flare]

no

[warm snow]

Maybe if you're not counting fate waiting

[leaden ginkgo]

right

[glossy flare]

since only stormblood and shadowbringers have them

and trial only goes up to Heavensward

[modest igloo]

fuck that's right, so 50?

[warm snow]

There's still artifact armor

Which is job exclusive gear

[leaden ginkgo]

whats the artifact armor?

[modest igloo]

job quest gear

[warm snow]

Stuff that can only be equipped by a specific job

[leaden ginkgo]

i think i did it

the blue ones

[warm snow]

They usually look pretty good

[modest igloo]

blue is not exclusive to those armors

[leaden ginkgo]

the aurum set is stronger XD

[modest igloo]

its just that is the first blue set

[leaden ginkgo]

name is drachen

is that the artifact armour?

[glossy flare]

yup

[warm snow]

They get blue icons but there's tons of gear with blue icons that isn't artifact armor

[modest igloo]

poetic and raid gear is also blue

[leaden ginkgo]

oh no im confused

are there more armours than drachen

[modest igloo]

there's soooo many sets

[leaden ginkgo]

its very pretty but aurum is way stronger

i meant armour for dragoon exclusively?

[glossy flare]

there is an artifact set for each expansion, which you automatically get by completing your job quests

[modest igloo]

also, glam over the stronger armour with the gear you like

[leaden ginkgo]

wish me luck darth vader time

[modest igloo]

so you get the stats and looks you want

[leaden ginkgo]

i need to sleep after this haha

[warm snow]

That's what artifact gear is

[ocean bloom]

shit wrong discord lol

FFXIV is messing with my brain

[glossy flare]

[leaden ginkgo]

Quick question
can I join a FC if its on the same DC but a different Homeworld than myself?

[modest igloo]

nope

world only

[leaden ginkgo]

I see, thanks ^^

[stable knot]

Does anyone know what this item called? thanks!

[agile laurel]

#glamour-discussion, tbh

[leaden ginkgo]

where did you even see that?

[stable knot]

oh right, i was trying to sent it there but the bot did not allow me..

[stable knot]

someone wore it, but i forgot to note the name

[lethal cape]

Both RDM and WHM use mind tincture?

[faint flare]

No

[leaden ginkgo]

Not RDM, no.

[lethal cape]

RDM det?

[faint flare]

Rdm doesn't use mind

They use int

[modest igloo]

RDM INT

[faint flare]

Like any other caster

[leaden ginkgo]

RDM and all the other casters use Int.

[faint flare]

Mind is a healer stat

[lethal cape]

Ohhhhhh okay

Thank you

[modest igloo]

the only funky class is NIN with DEX, since all other melees use STR

[lethal cape]

I only played WHM until now and I wanted to swap to RDM and I wasn't sure if my potions would work on RDM

[leaden ginkgo]

They sure the fuck won't.

Anyway welcome to the RDM brotherhood.

[modest igloo]

i mean they will on vercure

[lethal cape]

Healing RDM?

[leaden ginkgo]

For fucks sake is Vercure seriously on scaled to Mind?

[agile laurel]

no, it isn't

[modest igloo]

oh no rip

thats SMN

[agile laurel]

physick is scaled to mind

[modest igloo]

mb

[agile laurel]

you can see the difference

[leaden ginkgo]

slap.

[modest igloo]

I'm ververy verbad

[warm snow]

[leaden ginkgo]

What race to play for thicc DRK

[modest igloo]

Roe

femroe for thicc. male roe for THICK

[leaden ginkgo]

If you wanna be a special person, go Hrothgar for thick with fur.

[leaden ginkgo]

But is that ideal DRK body type

[modest igloo]

i think the ideal body type is Hyur

but DRK lalas are great

[leaden ginkgo]

Hyur highlander?

[modest igloo]

both tbh

[leaden ginkgo]

N o

[faint flare]

Fight the power, go female lizzer

[glossy flare]

may I suggest the new and fresh #beginner-lounge ?

but also

where do I get 'Approved Grade 2 Skybuilders' Hemp?

[faint flare]

You dont

You get grade 4 items

You can't make any grade 1-3 receipes

[kind tree]

where do I get the grade 4 items?

[faint flare]

The diadem

Which is in the firmament

[kind tree]

do I need to be level 80 for that?

[crystal bluff]

no

level 20 on a crafter

[faint flare]

Lv10 for diadem

As a gatherer

[kind tree]

how do I access diadem?

[faint flare]

The stall on the left of the skybuilder board

[kind tree]

.> thank you. I've been doing the Francel purple quest thinking that would give me access

[compact timber]

are we able to get event items if we have tomes still or no?

No

[willow path]

How do I go about reporting someone for being an asshole

I'm guessing the answer will be no, but is there anything like wow's trade skill master in ff14?

[faint flare]

No

[west parrot]

@willow path System -> Support Desk -> Contact Us -> Report Harassment

[leaden ginkgo]

sorry for my noobiness... but is there a better exclusive armour for dragoon than this?

[exotic flume]

Dang, i just noticed it. Will the tomes be of any use in the future?

[leaden ginkgo]

the aurum set is way stronger and this set is from the dragoon npc

[green grail]

that's called artifact gear, there's a set at each level cap so 50, 60, 70, 80 etc

[modest igloo]

yes, from the lvl 50 job quest

ilvl 90

[leaden ginkgo]

whats the name of the 50 quest

[modest igloo]

underneath your MSQ tracker

[leaden ginkgo]

i just finished the quest for the armour

[modest igloo]

oh, then open your coffer you got

[leaden ginkgo]

i have the complete drachen set now

[slim mango]

I've never done beast quests before and I'm leveling and alt - is there any that would be best to start with?

[modest igloo]

look at some of the mounts you want from their first

or whatever beast tribes that help you level what you wnana level

pixie beast tribe helps a ton from lvl 70-80

[faint flare]

No

[leaden ginkgo]

how blu leveled

how to level blue mage

[faint flare]

Kill overworld mobs

[boreal storm]

“Killing overworld enemies” ie: get a high leveled friend to one shot things you aggroed

[leaden ginkgo]

overworld mobs ?

is there a proper diadem mining guide, which is not a big mess? I’m looking for an explanation about the routes and different weather nodes

[faint flare]

Yes

[exotic flume]

Open areas

[leaden ginkgo]

what

[boreal storm]

Not dungeons etc

[faint flare]

Mobs in the overworld, aka not dungeons

[leaden ginkgo]

does blue takes a lot of grinding

[faint flare]

Not really

[tiny crag]

I just did my first materia melding, and I put spell speed +4 on my leggings. However, it shows in red "spellspeed +0" next to each materia. Am I only allowed a certain amount of stat gain?

[faint flare]

Can cap in a day

[leaden ginkgo]

excuse me ?

[faint flare]

Yes, gear has stat caps

[exotic flume]

What's blue good for? Just fun?

[boreal storm]

If use this handy strategy

[faint flare]

Blue gets like 10x the mob xp

[leaden ginkgo]

ay thats why

[faint flare]

So if you do like Full said

And kill lv70 mobs

[leaden ginkgo]

so how's the route and which araas i should be

[faint flare]

You get like 8 levels per

Khlosuia beach

For lv70 mobs

[leaden ginkgo]

i needed a friend

[faint flare]

Make sure you're not in a party with your leveller

Oh. Well damn. 😦 Thanks!

[daring jay]

Just got the game last week had 2 play session going for Marauder.. My question is about "aggro" Whenever I attack an enemy there's an arrow that goes from enemy to me is that the UI telling me where the enemy is focused on?

[leaden ginkgo]

is there a solo route

since you know ||no friends||

[faint flare]

Yes, it tells you who the mob is targetting

[warm snow]

Yeah

[boreal storm]

Just ask someone ingame to help you

[warm snow]

Also applies to players

[daring jay]

Thank you

[daring jay]

Thank you

[leaden ginkgo]

sigh

ok Thanks

[leaden ginkgo]

Do you not see all these bees, goblins, kobolds, bandits, voidsent, cactaur, giant frogs, or anything else roaming the world around you?

[graceful kestrel]

Empty in FFXIV folder! :/

[alpine shadow]

yeah, annoyingly happens alot

try

Try this alternative 3rd party launcher

[graceful kestrel]

I tried to solve this problem but not work :/

[stray mason]

As lvl 45 DK how many mobs should I be pulling in dungeons? With some healers I can pull way more but with others it doesn't work out

[leaden ginkgo]

ive added the drachen set to the armoire

how do i use them for glamour?

[slate arrow]

Go to your Glamour dresser, and there should be an Open Armoire option somewhere

[graceful kestrel]

I downloaded it and then ?

[leaden ginkgo]

Will I still need prisms?

[alpine shadow]

run it, and try to update it from there, make sure steam mode is enabled

[faint flare]

No, edit glamour plates

Select the slots then open Armourie

[gusty island]

Whats the quickest way to a training dummy?

[alpine shadow]

it should mostly be configured for you

[leaden ginkgo]

It's not showing up....

[faint flare]

Summerford farms

[gusty island]

Where is that?

[alpine shadow]

that is not the glamour dresser

that is the gear you throw away stuff

[raven sage]

You want the gear, you're under the main hand menu

[faint flare]

It is, he's in the plates

[alpine shadow]

ah really?

[raven sage]

Select another piece

[gusty island]

Ah found it

Thanks

[kind tree]

How do I get to use my items that i gathered from the diadem? I turned them in for inspection and they've disappeared from my inventory.

oh. nvm. found them.

[gusty island]

Follow-up question to the target dummies:
Any way to reset cooldowns so I don't have to wait 2 minutes between each attempt at my new rotation? 😝

[graceful kestrel]

@alpine shadow

so it's installing FFXIV

[alpine shadow]

👍

gonna take it's time

[graceful kestrel]

so why steam force to show CD keys after hit Play :/

[alpine shadow]

does not force you, just reminds you

there is a checkbox where you can say "do not show up anymore"

[graceful kestrel]

ok

[alpine shadow]

like https://img.thaun.dev/frvsz.png

[graceful kestrel]

yeah

[alpine shadow]

also, did you redeem your keys already?

[graceful kestrel]

already

[alpine shadow]

good, cause those were in plain sight

[graceful kestrel]

so it will be fixed after installing

?

[alpine shadow]

you can just check off the box if it shows up again

https://img.thaun.dev/zvvfz.png

steam does this to every game that has a cd key

[graceful kestrel]

yeah

[faint flare]

Go into any instance unsynced then leave immediately

[alpine shadow]

unless you are asking if the updates gets fixed when installing? well, you would able to launch it, but idk if updating the newer patches would, depends on the launcher's mood.

[worldly sandal]

is it better to do fates in far east or grind whatever raid?

[alpine shadow]

for leveling?

Do both

No reason to pick one or the other

[fringe vortex]

Is there a pre-req for unlocking the frontline PVP quests? I've done a Pup No Longer but the Flyer is not giving me the Frontline quest "Like Civilized Men and Women".

[leaden ginkgo]

does queing daily roul lv16 with high job level worth doing ?

[faint flare]

Yes

Roulettes give xp based on your level

[boreal storm]

Yes it gives more exp to compensate the level differences

[leaden ginkgo]

ok thanks

[leaden ginkgo]

Isn't "Like Civilized Men and Women" available from the GC commanders?

[charred cobalt]

Question does anyone know why my card suddenly became this and then crashed my game?

[leaden ginkgo]

is there a server recruiting people to level them from 1 to 16

[agile laurel]

that is extremely special to say the least

to go offtopic slightly, if you haven't found a bug you've at least started a creepypasta

did it fix with restart?

[charred cobalt]

Yeah its gone and didnt come back

[fringe vortex]

Yeah you're right! I found it. Thanks!

[heavy wadi]

Weird

[charred cobalt]

poor ysayle got turned into a primal hyur

[heavy wadi]

Do you have any mods or stuff on your game? Sometimes they can do weird stuff like this

[charred cobalt]

Act nothing else

Had gshade before but uninstalled so idk

[heavy wadi]

Weird

[charred cobalt]

only found one similar thing when i googled

and it was just a pitchblack card with all 0

[heavy wadi]

My other thought is that your graphics drivers could be out of date? Or it could just be a plain old-fashioned bug

[charred cobalt]

Might be tried to recreate the bug but it didnt work so might just be that i got an error at the same time or something

Anyway just was curious what caused it lmao

[dire reef]

Is there any way to practice rotations with 0 cd?

[open coral]

No

[heavy wadi]

a 0 sec gcd is very impractical so

[open coral]

You can reset cds by going into an instance, but what would be the point of practicing your rotation without cds?

[dire reef]

I meant not having to wait for 2 mins for some skills

[snow meadow]

so i was wondering i am going to do a server transfer from NA to EU server.. but the CWLS i maked will that also be gone?
or will that stay?

[open coral]

Again, what would be the point of that?

[dire reef]

want to practice some openers and get the muscle memory

[open coral]

Having to work with the long cds on skills is part of the rotation.

[dire reef]

I mean being able to restart if I fk up and not wait 2 mins

[open coral]

As I said, you can reset cd timers by going into an instance (just set your DF to "undersized party" then leave immediately after getting in).

[dire reef]

thx, ill be able to save some time compared to waiting at a striking dummy

[exotic flume]

Can we do annything with the weathered clothing besides discard/glam?

Apparently i can't desynth them.

[open coral]

Nope, that's all.

[leaden ginkgo]

quick question for DRG's mouse over macro for tether
do i need to click the target or just hover?

[glossy flare]

just hover if you use <mo>

but it's also more prone to failure that way

[tropic flame]

can you add <mo>
and <t> at the same time? :<

[open coral]

You can, but that could cause problems.

[glossy flare]

it would be redundant

but tbh I have no idea what would happen

[open coral]

It wouldn't be redundant if the mo target was different from the target.

I think it would try to go for whichever appeared first. What I don't know is if it would then try to go for the second term if the first was unavailalb.e

[glossy flare]

hm, either way I wouldn't recommend it

[open coral]

So like if it were set up with:

<mo>
<t>

It would theoretically try to find a mo target first, and if you didn't have one, then try for your current target.

[raw solstice]

macros will just execute line by line regardless of success or failure

[open coral]

But I feel like that would just glitch out more than anything.

[raw solstice]

so yeah you can do something like that and if you don't have a valid <mo> target it'll go for <t>

it won't glitch or anything

you'll probably want to repeat the <mo> lines a bunch though

[leaden ginkgo]

the one from Balance has the mixed one with <2>
dunno how it works though i havent try it

[raw solstice]

2 (or any other number you have there) defaults to trying to use it on whoever's in that slot in your party list

[golden sundial]

Is the event over? can't you trade after the event ended? rip tokens?

[modest igloo]

the event ended yeah, and since its fanfest you can't trade them after they are gone

you can still get almost everything from other content tho

[golden sundial]

I was sure I'd be able to trade after the event ended, rip my 50 tokens. Thanks for the answer.

[modest igloo]

yeah, for other events they do that.

but fanfest is special

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[open coral]

Damn, power failure last night screwed up my chance at getting Dancing Mad 3 then.

I thought the event ended tomorrow at reset.

I only needed 4 more tomes!

[heavy wadi]

Yeah, they plastered it everywhere that you wouldn't be able to trade with them once the event ended.

note the last line

[dire reef]

is the tomestone exchange over?

[open coral]

Yes

[faint flare]

Yes

[heavy wadi]

yes

[open coral]

That's what we were just talking about.

[dire reef]

Someone told me it was tmr at reset

FK

[crystal ingot]

what can you do with the augmented exarchic gear after you out-ilevel it with augmented cryptlurker gear?

[heavy wadi]

use it for glamour?

[faint flare]

Throw at retainers if you want

[glossy flare]

nothing

[open coral]

Desynth it

[glossy flare]

retainers technically cap out at a lower ilvl but yeah, no harm in going higher if you have it lying around

[south kestrel]

I'm getting closer and closer to the end of arr and to the beginning of heavensward, now my question is do I have to buy from heavensward on, or not? And do I buy the dlcs separate?

[open coral]

You already have HW

[south kestrel]

oh thats great

[open coral]

Base game/free trial includes HW

If you're on the free trial and want to get the rest of the game after that, you'll need to buy (right now), the base game + Shadowbringers, which includes Stormblood (all included in the Complete Edition), and Endwalker. If you wait until November when Endwalker releases, you should only need to purchase Endwalker.

If you already own the base game, then you only need to do the second part of that.

[south kestrel]

I got the game a long time ago, just never played it, and now started playing, so I think I got heavensward included. Also, steam version, so no sale sadly

oh so shadowbringers has stormblood included, thats great

[open coral]

So you own the base game, which means you'll only need to buy Shadowbringers to go past the end of HW, and Endwalker if you want to keep going in November.

[glossy flare]

they decided to include HW with the trial a while ago and when they did that they also included HW in the base game

so that may be why you're confused, back when you bought it it probably mattered to have HW included

Just doesn't anymore 😅

[glossy flare]

afaik you're out of luck

but just waiting those 4 hourse should fix your issue

[fading aurora]

Didnt know it would refresh like that, bow i need to wait 8 hrs to give 2 guys the code smh

Now*

[glossy flare]

just a thing that exists to prevent people from handing them out like candy, sadly

How do I swap the keyboard binds for camera movement (default is mouse left click) and which direction the character is facing (default is mouse right click) ?

[open coral]

You should be able to do that in the keybinds settings.

If you can't, you may need to go into your mouse's software (if you have a gaming mouse) and flip the inputs.

[normal vortex]

Would it be the 'Steer' command under movement in the keybind settings?

[open coral]

Off the top of my head, I'm not sure.

[normal vortex]

I can't bind left click to 'steer' it just selects and deselects the option

Yo, my dumbass bought the Endwalker expansion for PC Download but i needed to buy it through Steam.
So if anyone wants to buy the code for PC Download (not Steam, dont make the same mistake as me lol) for 25€ (yes, 10€ less) pm me, i can send you the receipt or sth for verification. European Account.

[leaden ginkgo]

Can you stack “the heat of battle” active action 1 and 2?

[open coral]

No

Only one buff of each type can be active at the same time.

If both are active, only the higher one will take effect

[leaden ginkgo]

Thank you 🙏

[fading aurora]

Ye all games have that thing when they come to steam because steam has to take a cut so they have to be separated if they have the game on a website already

Thats not just final fantasy every single mmorpg ive played had that thing

[alpine shadow]

if you bought it from square enix store, then you haven't been charged yet

and you could just cancel it

and nobody gets the actual expansion code till release

so the code you are giving right now is just the pre-order code

[gritty oracle]

Do all three lv80 alliance raids have exactly one card needed for the mount?

[quasi tiger]

Ok i didn't see that option, i just saw the "this product cant be cancelled after you unlock the key", imma try to cancel it through the button in this picture, thanks.

[alpine shadow]

ah yeah, its just a common message for all keys you redeem in-store

it should not count for that preorder code

[twilit arch]

yes, each nier raid only has 1 TT card

[heavy wadi]

[modest igloo]

[heavy wadi]

clicking bad

most use hotkeys

[stone spear]

i was hoping ok i see

[modest igloo]

i only click when my pinky hurt to click control

[stone spear]

i was in here thinking like damn pc players are a different breed

[modest igloo]

i've seen a few clickers in endgame raiding

they do decent

[stone spear]

what about movement, directional buttons? if so is it 3d still or what

[pulsar escarp]

I click shit like interrupt because it's so rarely used I don't want to take up a keybind with it

wasd

normally

[modest igloo]

i use WASD and rightclick to change my camera

[stone spear]

[gritty oracle]

[faint flare]

Remember to back up your settings to the games server via character select so you can transfer stuff over

[harsh torrent]

what is RDPS and ADPS

[faint flare]

!faq fflogsdps

[zinc orbit]

What is the difference between rDPS, pDPS and aDPS on FFLogs?

• 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)

[gritty oracle]

Is this still true? From the 2.51 patch notes
"Regional Rules Regional rules vary by location, and are reset daily at 3:00 p.m. (GMT). Up to two regional rules are in effect at any given time, and certain preferences may be observed in each region. It is worth noting, however, that certain NPCs will not adhere to regional rules."

[harsh torrent]

thank

[slate arrow]

yes, for the most part

[oblique glacier]

which is better for me (sam)

[slate arrow]

gloam

item level = main stat = more damage

[faint flare]

Much higher strength

[modest igloo]

higher ilvl almost always wins

[oblique glacier]

oh i dont need crit rate?

[modest igloo]

STR is more important

[oblique glacier]

alrighty

[faint flare]

Substats are tiny compared to main stat strength

[slate arrow]

Strength gives more damage than crit

[oblique glacier]

ty

[twilit arch]

your secondary stats are not important while leveling

its only when you're at lvl cap and comparing gear of similar ilvl do you care about them

[oblique glacier]

oph i understand

btw

is there a quick way to repair items?

i always find myself tping to gridania

[open coral]

Speak to an NPC mender > Repair All

There are menders in all towns.

And some outposts.

[oblique glacier]

oh rly

thanks

[slate arrow]

You can also repair stuff yourself with a leveled crafter

[twilit arch]

basically look for a little hammer icon

[slate arrow]

but that's side content bonus

[open coral]

Just look for the little hammer icon.

The NPCs will usually be called "Independent Mender" or "Merchant and Mender"
