It can be helpful. And it's needed if you want to use the dps meter

shut panther
#

it moves way too fast to be of any use in real time, but it can be helpful to figure out wtf has happened

Anyone know the answer to my question uwucarby

shut panther
#

boxes that sell for 2mil?

celest inlet
#

What's the main reason that people buy the retainers level boost? for less click on them?

shut panther
#

the lootboxes?

oak ice
#

Which box sells for 2 mil?

round crag
#

the runner's boxes thingies?

#

that you use to upgrade bozja gear perhaps?

fading aurora
#

There are bozja boxes on mb that sell for like 2-3m on my server

round crag
#

or are you talking about things that drop from lootboxes

shut panther
#

those come from CLL

round crag
#

oh

faint flare
#

The Augments

#

Those are rare drops from castrum or 999 bojzan coins

shut panther
#

and/or are purchased with bozjan coins

fading aurora
#

How long does it take to go from resistance wep 485 ilvl to 535?

oblique lintel
#

do they ever do sales on world transfers?

faint flare
#

Not that long really... Only real slow step is the DR/potd step

shut panther
fading aurora
#

First

#

Is the upgraded resistance the version of the enchuffla the one that shines? I think thats how h spell the dancer wep name

faint flare
#

Recollection glows

#

Which is 2 quests after getting it

#

I500

fading aurora
#

Are those 2 long?

faint flare
#

Not really

modest igloo
#

only took me about an evening for the first 3 steps with BLU

#

after that...

#

the REAL grind starts

shut panther
#

60 hw fates (or bozja drops), followed by 6 level 60 dungeons (or bozja drops), followed by 3 CLL runs, 18 each hw/sb alliance raids, followed by 15 DR runs, followed by 180 normal raids (or bozja drops, followed by 15 (1x from 70 dungeon, 2x from DR, 3x from dalriada) drops

fading aurora
#

I would use BLU to farm fates and stuff but nobody wants to help me level it soooo

#

Im just using my main

shut panther
#

that's to do one weapon

#

for later weapons you can do several of those steps in parallel and several don't need to be done again

fading aurora
#

For right now i only really wana do the dancer one

#

Iโ€™ll focus on the rest later

flat yew
#

does an empty line at the start of a macro stop it from working?

north venture
#

My skills don't switch with the switching of my job, any idea why ?

proud willow
#

Each hotbar can be set to shared or not shared

#

Any bars that you want to change when you change jobs, keep them set to not shared

north venture
#

ok thank you

shut panther

if you change your mind and decide to do another.. you will be thankful it was active while you're in bozja

How does 1 start the first step of Resistance wep? NPC in Kugane?

leaden ginkgo
#

I'm looking for a recruit a friend pal, maybe even a FC! The recruitment discord sent me here. I don't know where to go.

shut panther
#

did you finish stormblood alliance series

#

because that's part 1

hollow briar
#

That and have 5.0 finished

#

Tryin to unlock Bozja

faint flare

5.1 is needed

shut panther
#

the quest you're looking for then is

hollow briar
#

Ty!

plain python
#

fate contribution is threat-based?

shut panther
#

correct

#

based on the threat of your entire party if you're in one

plain python
#

so if I join a fate boss late as a tank, I will have more chance to get gold compared to other classes

shut panther
#

correct

#

throw up tank stance and spam ranged if you're really just trying to rapidly catch up on contribution

plain python
#

does provoke works on Fate boss that way?

shut panther
#

I don't think so, but I can't confirm

oblique lintel
#

Can anyone explain the veteran rewards for me please? I was looking to buy a 180 day subscription, rewards says I will get "You'll receive the following rewards: 150 day(s) , 240 day(s)". Does that mean on the milestone days i get a reward?

leaden ginkgo
#

Yep.

#

And you don't even need to be subb that many days in a row, you'll just resume progress fro mwhere you eft off before your break.

plain python
#

can I get them up front if I pay all at once?

shut panther
#

I think you get them immediately if you pay for the days in advance

#

but I cannot say that with certainty

oblique lintel
#

i last played in 2013 lol

#

I'm still deciding whether to play with my old character or create a new one

modest igloo
#

i'd say make a new one

they lowered some of the ARR timewasters

Yo

dusky nebula
#

ohh i haven't completed the quest yet my bad xD

plush kestrel
#

Where can i get the add ons for a cheap price ๐Ÿ˜

faint flare
#

There's basically no add ons here

shut panther
#

I think he means the expansion

#

s

plush kestrel
#

Yes

shut panther
#

you just missed the big sale

faint flare
#

Well there's no sales going on

#

So

shut panther
#

you might get a discount in the steam sale

dusky nebula
#

if you have the windows version you can buy it for cheaper from sites...

faint flare
#

You won't get it anywhere cheaper

dusky nebula
#

how are you so sure

faint flare
#

No trusted seller is selling it cheaper than retail price

dusky nebula
#

it is trusted

plush kestrel
dusky nebula
#

by me

faint flare
#

Newegg? Greenman?

dusky nebula
#

no

faint flare
#

Amazon?

dusky nebula
#

you can get complete editino for 20$

faint flare
#

From where

#

And before you say g2a, that's key reseller

dusky nebula
#

don't want to get banned because i haven't bought that particular product. but have bought other things

faint flare
#

If it's not one of the ones I've listed then they're not a trusted third party seller

dusky nebula
#

again i have bought like 8 games

faint flare
#

From where

dusky nebula
#

sorry i don't trust ppl infact 11 products i have bought from them

shut panther
#

there are definitely sus vendors where you can get things for cheaper, and they'll mostly be fine, right up until they're not

stray mason
#

Finished Heavensward MSQ, but still got post patch questlines to do. Should I activate my upgrade now or after I complete them since I'm capped at 60?

faint flare
#

Things like g2a and the likes are key resellers, which are how they sell shit so cheap

shut panther
#

for an offline game? worst case probably your key gets deactivated easy come easy go

#

for something like ffxiv, if they decide your key is stolen etc

#

goodbye account and possibly hundreds of hours

What are the current retainer breakpoints for max yield?

BTN/MIN: 2400 Gathering.
FSH: 1628 Gathering.
DoW/DoM: Item Level 428.

honest anvil
#

did that get updated recently?

#

it was for sure not 2400 ๐Ÿค”

faint flare
#

No? Looks normal

stable hinge
#

Thanks

faint flare
#

Maybe they upped the gathering for a more round number to not be ass to type I guess

stable hinge
#

they didn't update it with new patches?

faint flare
#

No

plush kestrel
#

Does anybody know when the next same is? In the summer?

faint flare
#

I personally doubt there will be another sale until endwalker

#

Maybe a steam sale to match the recent Se store one

plush kestrel
#

Ok when is endwalker coming out?

faint flare
#

But with the expansion coming I doubt there will be another regular sale

#

November

#

21s specifically. Early access on the 19th

plush kestrel

ye that got updated to 2400 from 2083

#

hey i need help with kupo bot, i saved my character on another disc account but forgot about it, discord account is deleted

#

and now i cant verify it

#

what can you do in this situation?

fair sun
#

Are any servers/datamcenters better or worse for any reason?

modest igloo
zinc orbitBOT
#
Which world should I pick?

You can play on any world on any datacenter within FFXIV. Aside from the languages spoken, the physical location of the servers, and the status of each world, there are no major differences. This also means population on a given server is quite meaningless.

The majority of content is cross-world, with the exception of Free Companies, Linkshells, and restrictions when visiting other worlds.

If you don't mind where you play, choose a world that is Preferred or New for character creation bonuses. Check world status by using !status <world name> or via the Lodestone. For information about the status types, use !faq worldtype.

Notable worlds:

  • Balmung & Mateus (Role-playing)
  • Tonberry & Kujata (Large amount of Oceanic players)
  • Moogle (Large amount of French players)
  • Shiva (Large amount of German players)
    ANY CENSUSES OR WORLD STEREOTYPES BEYOND THIS IS INACCURATE BIAS AND SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY

Okay here's my other question. How many players fucking up does it take for a party to wipe?

twin loom
#

hey guys, is it "better" to level a dps or a tank class via main story class? I will level both, just wondering what would be the way to go regarding this Advice would be awesome ๐Ÿ™‚

frosty wave
#

ideally tank

#

for less queues

#

but I'm starting to find that even tanks can get screwed over when it comes to Q times

twin loom
#

so tank first and dps as second job or the other way around?

pine onyx
#

Is delubrum reginae savage hard?

#

I saw you could get a 4 seater mount from it

shut panther
#

a bit of an organizational clusterfuck

mechanics wise it's roughly ex

probably easier now with zadnor and honors

How likely am I to complete it with pf?

drowsy maple

when do I unlock mount? ^^

shut panther
#

extremely low.

faint flare

0%

#

DRs needs people to bring specific actions for various mechanics

shut panther

best bet is to find a eureka/bozja discord for your DC

leaden ginkgo
#

e9s e10s is completable via pf 100%

faint flare

And needs coordination between groups

pine onyx

I see

Is running e4s easier?

Hi all, I had a quick question. My wife and I started playing just now, but she chose Marauder and I chose Lancer, do the different jobs start in different cities? Wanted to know if we have to wait a while to play together?

With current gear, by far yes

I think I'm gonna learn e4s then

eh, level 15 isn't that far in

faint flare

pine onyx
#

Do people still join e4s parties?

modest igloo
faint flare
#

Only people doing ultimate tbh who need gear...maybe the occasional mount

twin loom
#

Sorry I might not have been clear on the matter. I was wondering about leveling convenience. Is it more convenient to level a dps job while you still have the story missions and tank as a secon job via sidequest etc or is it the other way around?

modest igloo
shut panther
modest igloo
#

yellow sidequests are awful xp

warm snow
shut panther
#

if you do msq on tanks, you'll have fast queues then and then have slow queues on your dps

if you do msq on dps you'll have slow queues then fast when you do the tank

Should I play Tank Dps or heal first character? whats more fun for new players and what is the diffrence between the roles. Im caster rn bcs it seems fun but idk

Free trial is the base game minus a few features mostly social and pvp so get the most out of that before actually spending any real money

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.

warm snow
modest igloo
faint flare
#

November 23rd

warm snow

Normally it would be out this summer but 2020

#

Nuff said

radiant onyx
#

oh yeah, is heal and tank harder than dps?

warm snow
#

Not really

faint flare
#

Not really

#

Once you understand the core of it it's very braindead

warm snow
#

Outside of high end content but everyone has to be decent for that so it evens out

faint flare
#

You dps 95% of the time

modest igloo
#

at first it make take a bit to understand but once you do it's easy to remember

radiant onyx
#

okay thanks

shut panther
#

warrior ungabunga

frank coyote

Soo i should be able to do a big part of this xpac content until Next comes out?

warm snow

people are doing raids from 2013

frank coyote
#

wow thats sound amazing tbh

warm snow
# radiant onyx okay thanks

Unlike wow there's not multiple ways to play a specific job, but instead all the jobs play differently and are all balanced

faint flare
#

You can basically do all current content before November

pine onyx
#

Does that mean R1 and R2 are on the tiles in front of titan?

#

or backrow

faint flare
#

Range 1

faint flare

And range 2

pine onyx
faint flare
#

People call their positions by calling their role

pine onyx
#

I know that

#

lol

modest igloo
#

oh and gearing is super easy

pine onyx
#

Why isn't m1 and m2 in front?

#

This macro is weird

warm snow
#

Monster hunter stuff is still around and that's what, 3 years old at this point?

faint flare
#

Cause positionals

modest igloo
frank coyote
#

tho am most scared that combat system will be rather slow for some time atleast coming from wow haha, but i played it like 6 months ago so idk haha. i guess it will be fine

faint flare
#

They want to be behind titan

pine onyx
#

Makes sense

faint flare

It'd slow when you have LITERALLY NO SKILLS

But it's fine at higher levals

warm snow
#

It will be, but it's not out yet

modest igloo
#

EW won't matter til you beat ShB anyways

warm snow
#

Endwalker comes out in November

modest igloo
#

you can't skip expacs, you do them in order

#

since the story is linear

warm snow
#

Also this is a linear final fantasy game first mmo second

#

So you'll have to play through all the previous story content to get to endwalker

modest igloo
#

i did most of the game solo when i started

warm snow
#

Think of it as 4 jrpgs duct taped together wrapped up in an mmo

frank coyote
#

i have plenty time to spend, and i have no games to play haha:D so its finee

faint flare
#

Featuring the nier sequel /s

warm snow
#

Or a game and it's multiple sequels all on one platform that happens to be an mmo

#

And your progress carries over between games

frank coyote
#

i always felt that wow's early game is boring (atleast in new xpacs), so that earlygame will be meaningful in some kind of way or atleast interesting sounds alot of fun for me:)

#

and that i can play at my own pace and no need to rush i guess

warm snow
#

The base game arr, is a bit slow as its largely world building but the first expansion is amazing and hey all of that is included in the free trial

dumb question incoming. i've just started trying out mining, the problem is, i can't find where to mine. i'm outside of the city, i've activated prospect and i'm looking at the map constantly but i can't find any mining spot. what am i doing wrong?

#
Mounts FAQ

'When can I get my first mount?'

The quest that allows you to use mounts, 'My Little Chocobo' is unlocked by completing the level 20 main story quest 'The Company You Keep'. The quest is located at the Grand Company base you chose and you'll need to buy the Chocobo Issuance from your Grand Company Quartermaster. You can get the 200 needed Grand Company seals by doing the main story quest that comes after 'The Company You Keep'.

'Are there any differences between mounts?'

Besides looks, all mounts are the same speed along with being able to fly. Some mounts allow multiple people to ride at once.

'Can I make my mount faster?'

Zones have one or two ranks of mount speed that increase the ground speed of mounts. The first rank comes from completing specific quests in the main scenario quests, with the second rank coming from Riding Maps which are bought with either Allied Seals, Centurio Seals, or Bicolor Gemstones. Mount Speed Boosts do not increase the flying speed of mounts.

!faq flying

zinc orbitBOT
#
Flying FAQ

'How can I unlock Flying?'

Flying is unlocked through the collecting of a zone's Aether Currents, with every zone having ten 'green' Aether Currents found in the overworld and five 'yellow' Aether Currents obtained through the MSQ and side quests marked with a plus sign. Azys Lla is the only zone to not have any green Aether Currents. You must collect all Aether Currents in a zone to be able to fly.

Flying is unlocked in A Realm Reborn zones simply by completing the level 50 story quest 'The Ultimate Weapon'.

'Where can I find the green Aether Currents?'

Upon obtaining the Story Quest 'Divine Intervention' you get the Aether Compass, which is a key item you can use to locate the nearest non-quest Aether Current. This can be set to your Hotbar for ease of use. Alternatively, you can use this website to show the location of all Aether Currents for a zone. http://heavenswhere.com/

For substats, generally critical hit is the next most important. But at that level, yeah, substats can be ignored for the most part. Youโ€™ll be cycling through gear so quickly that jamming in materia doesnโ€™t really help.

when you remove it from your inventory while glamoured, the glam stays in tact?

ok! thanks again snael

hasty timber
#

Sorry in advance for the long post and cross posting!
I'm a former player that left for a really long time, but recent news has gotten me interested in returning. I never got far (just started HW I think), but I remember I was always playing alone so it got really lonely and hard to continue. I didn't know how to make friends since the only time I saw people was through random people during instances and they'd leave right after. On top of that, the one friend who invited me to play was way ahead of me so she never quested with me, then she secretly switched servers and left me behind, which made me feel awful.
I also had trouble getting into the game bc I'd always feel so overwhelmed trying to keep up with mechanics. I'd be so focused on trying to press my skills in the right order I'd miss the boss moves on my screen, or just be too slow to react. I knew this game was heavy on cooperation, so I always felt super guilty for not knowing what I was doing, and I guess I gave myself too much pressure to be able to enjoy the game properly. Like I'd look up guides to every instance before I entered, but I'd never be able to memorize everything, then panicked when I went in like it was some exam. Even by the time I left I still didn't feel confident playing and often felt confused.
That being said, is now a good time to come back? Any advice on how to get better/get back into things without making a new account to start over? I'd say I'm kind of a pseudo-newbie, so I'd really appreciate any kind of help or support.
Also I might consider transferring servers, any idea which ones are populated and friendly?
(Looks like I just missed a big sale too, which is unfortunate. Wish I came back just a bit sooner now!)

slate arrow
#

basically applies to everything mechanic wise

#

you can slap a dummy for a few hours to learn your rotation but

#

new mechanics will always be introduced

hasty timber
#

Also I played a BLM which ppl say is the easiest dps or something so learning I sucked at the easiest one was ouch

slate arrow
#

and in later expansions a lot of tells aren't as obvious or have an indicator, or the indicator appears later

slate arrow
woven token
#

Skill ceiling on BLM is sky high.

ripe hound
#

Yeah, BLM is definitely not so easy

slate arrow
#

you have very few instant casts so being the best BLM requires planning out your instant cast cooldowns

hard aurora
#

The beginning levels, BLM is quite easy.

#

When you get up there, it's not anymore.

its satisfying

Farewell 150k despairs

but isn't lay of the land 1 useless then?

slate arrow
#

no

faint flare
slate arrow
#

sometimes you just want the closest node

twilit arch
slate arrow
#

especailly in expansion zones which can have multiple levels of nodes

mental oracle
slate arrow
#

for example, Stormblood zones have level 80 nodes even though the level cap is 70

#

As the relic quest materials are there

twilit arch
#

Bertana in Idyllshire

celest snow
#

huh, so it does have a use but just not so much in my level

If you're looking for material A in the Lochs and its in this specific area, not the highest level thing in the zone and you just wanna know where it is, suddenly 1 isn't useless.

Ok

unkempt oasis
#

what fastest way to level up miner?

heavy wadi
#

diadem, probably

twilit arch
#

leves would be faster

faint flare
#

Leves or diadem

twilit arch
#

diadem lets you be lazy

faint flare
#

And two birds in 1 stone

heavy wadi
#

if you're not on free trial you can also make decent ish money from diadem

agile laurel
#

Diadem is slower and tedious but zero effort, endless and reliable

unkempt oasis
#

so leves better to level up but its slow on money and diadem is opposite of that?

twilit arch
#

well not necessarily slow on money, as you do get gil from completing leves

#

but the thing with leves is that you're limited by your allowances, and getting the higher scores on them can get harder as you'll need to keep somewhat geared

#

so its potentially more expensive since you want to have decent gear, whereas diadem doesn't really have as high of gathering requirements

#

so you can go longer without upgrading

#

diadem lets you potentially get more gil since you can sell the materials gathered from it on the marketboard, whereas leves is just strictly gil given from the leve itself, you can't sell the leve items

rugged solar
#

Hello, I am new to the game. About level 68 summoner and was wondering, what jobs should I focus on as a summoner? As you say in WoW professions.

outer mural
#

there are no specific crafting/gathering jobs taht correlate with summoner

#

crafting is optional and the only worthwhile armor to craft is at 80

#

you shouldn't really worry about that at the moment as the MSQ / dungeons / poetics will give you the necessary gear

rugged solar
#

So I would like to do armor I would do it in leatherworking?

dire prawn
#

new to the game
about 68 Summoner
Something doesn't add up here

outer mural
#

it's never restricted to one class

#

leatherworker can make, like, boots or something for casters

rugged solar
#

I have played for like two weeks, I would say "new"

outer mural
#

but then you would need goldsmith for a circlet of casting right

leaden ginkgo
#

Are uroliths rare in the diadem? Trying to find one for mythrite sand

dire prawn
#

And armor crafting is a mix of the different crafter jobs

worldly eagle
#

68 is kinda new still, not end game yet lol

outer mural
#

it's never 'oh this one job for crafting is for x class'

worldly eagle
#

I'm level 55 and still struggle with a lot of stuff to know

outer mural
#

it's many crafting jobs at once for every class

dire prawn
#

Different pieces for different jobs require different crafters

outer mural
#

and again, i would suggest not really worrying about it until you get to 80 / endgame

obsidian patio
#

Caster armor is usually a mix of goldsmith, Leatherworker, Weaver, and the occasional armorer

boreal storm
#

Alchemist makes SUM books iirc

obsidian patio
#

With their weapon being alchemist

outer mural
#

mhm

rugged solar
#

Ok Jim, but if I would like to do that sort of jobs, which one should I do first and "focus"?

outer mural
#

if you want to craft for the sake of crafting, fine, but if ur goal is to make armor for summoner, i would not bother

outer mural
#

if you want to level up your gathers and crafters, it is always recommended to do them all at once

obsidian patio
#

All at once, as they share materials pretty often

dire prawn
#

All of the crafters require crafted items and materials from the other crafters

obsidian patio
#

Only exception is culinarian since they only make food

rugged solar
#

As botanist, mining and fishing?

outer mural
#

this will

  1. share materials and let you craft stuff between different crafters to save yourself money
  2. you share all the same gear so you r inventory is not clogged to shit
glossy flare
#

If you don't care about the very much recommended efficiency of leveling them all at once then the answer becomes: Any you like

dire prawn
#

So if you're going to do crafting you should pick up all of them

dreamy fjord
#

is this EU Chaos server only? i've marked the Chaos reaction

glossy flare
#

it's either or

outer mural
#

both gatherers and crafters yes

glossy flare
rugged solar
#

Ok, thanks mate

outer mural
#

you could get away with levelling all the gatherers together beforehand, mainly botanist and miner

#

fishing is usually independent and mainly used for cooking

dire prawn
outer mural
#

but can be avoided since there plenty of non-seafood recipes

#

but it's always best to just do it all at once steadily

Or do you just want to deformed

Not sure what's happening but I've been getting a lot of commendations as DRG for the last couple of days

#

Any reason why?

twilit arch
#

veterans pity comming a sprout ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

#

A premade comming the one random in the group

civic hamlet
#

I'm not a sprout though

#

Lol

twilit arch
#

some people also just com dps instead of tanks/healers

civic hamlet
#

Out of spite?

twilit arch
#

cos they know most people don't com them, or they just notice you're doing good ๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ

civic hamlet
#

Lol

twilit arch
#

no way for us it say for certain why people are comming you

civic hamlet
#

Well I didn't die, was dancing in the MSQ daily

#

Honestly been acting kinda daft

#

So gd dmg don't die that's about it

#

Still prefer tanking though

while doing a W2W pull, how do i manage threat on enemies that get aggroed by party members

slate arrow
#

They come to you, 99% of the time

#

If they keep running away that's their fault

#

Otherwise just mash aoe

topaz vine
#

well its an issue when they're behind me

slate arrow
#

just mash aoe

warm snow
#

You have to actually hit them to properly take aggro in the first place

topaz vine
warm snow
#

Just having them aggro by being the first target in range isn't enough

daring jay
topaz vine
#

im saying i lose aggro while running

warm snow
#

Then hit them to keep it

slate arrow
#

use ranged attack

#

Don't use sprint while w2w pulling

slate arrow
#

Gear isn't complex, your rotation determines your DPS 99% of the time

#

of course, having better gear increases your DPS

#

But there's no set bonus or anything like that mostly

topaz vine
daring jay
#

So no one grinds for specific items?

slate arrow
#

unless it's a relic weapon, no

warm snow
#

Cuz you'll outrun the mobs and they'll lag behind instead of being hit by your aoes

slate arrow
#

or glamour

topaz vine
#

hmm

daring jay
#

Oh well that simplifies things a lot

slate arrow
#

There's no grinding for gear, just grinding for item level

daring jay
#

Interesting

warm snow
#

And if you start combat before everyone pops sprint they only get 10s of it

#

!skill sprint

# daring jay Interesting

tl;Dr due to how job kits are designed, "set bonus" effects in other games are already integrated into a core part of your kit, so they can't really do unique effects besides "faster GCD speed"

So I queued for a dungeon nobody queues for.. After 300 minutes it popped and someone withdrawed from the queue. After that the whole party was gone

#

what happened there?

#

shouldn't there be still 7 people that didn't withdraw?

slate arrow
#

premade who collectively decided they didn't want to do that dungeon and ate the penalty

halcyon tulip
#

Was it an Extreme fight?

mental oracle
#

yea

slate arrow
#

yep that would do it

mental oracle
#

why queue for it?

slate arrow
#

because it's in mentor roulette

faint flare
#

Probably mentor roulette or sprouts

slate arrow
#

but it has mechanics that would require a lot of explanation in some cases

#

like clock positions into stack into run around the arena to avoid a certain AoE

#

It's... Kinda ass to do without a premade in PF

#

Not impossible but

#

Requires a lot of patience

boreal storm
#

Tank swap, donโ€™t grab X amount of orbs etc

ripe hound
#

Yeah, itโ€™s not recommended to try to complete it in queue

boreal storm
#

Make sure enemy 1 and 2 are far enough apart

ripe hound
#

All ARR EXs can be done solo now right?

slate arrow
#

with a level 80 job yes

ripe hound
#

kk

dire prawn
#

ARR and HW EX trials can be done solo by a 80 job

mental oracle
#

it seems weird that a premade withdrew because the party was almost full before the withdraw

outer mural
#

HW EX with greater difficulty and some nuance but yes

mental oracle
#

and then party went poof

outer mural
#

sophia EX my nemesis

dire prawn
#

Some of the HW trials though you need to be PLD or WAR because their self-sustain is beyond bullshit

slate arrow
#

It's not a premade

#

It was mentors

#

Since mentor roulette is solo only for backfill reasons

#

It's just again

#

Extremes are ass with a duty finder group

hi i'm very confused i've done the "Into the Dragon's Maw" quest and I can't seem to find my next class quest, i'm a lvl 55 dragoon

mental oracle
#

I'm only missing sohpia and zurvan with pugs then I can move on to stormblood ex

slate arrow
#

just use party finder

leaden ginkgo
#

In HW, quests went by 2's.

#

In SB, they're... a bit weird?

outer mural
#

SB is also in 2's

dire prawn
#

SB is weird yes

outer mural
#

iirc

dire prawn
#

It isn't

#

63 65 68 70

slate arrow
#

It's unlikely you will get another queue anytime soon for extremes

outer mural
#

really? remember it something like taht but i'll check

dire prawn
outer mural
#

oh no shit my memory has wiped all traces of that

#

that is very strange

#

i stand corrected noted

dire prawn

With 70 being the only one that unlocks a skill

#

Or tomes if you don't want to spend gil

slate arrow
#

Unless you mean the cheapest, in which case you can grind out normal raids

sinful comet
#

outer mural
#

crystarium gear would be fine for it from eulmore
