my knowledge of specific tech questions is super surface level

#

so i doubt i'd be able to help with specific questions

green grail
#

you can also just ask your exact question instead of a vague "anyone help codes"

cinder hearth
#

Should I wait till the weekend to try out 'Labrynth of the Ancients'? It'd be my first time, or does it matter?

modest igloo
#

you can do it now blind

#

its pretty easy

#

don't stand in bad and read party chat or ask questions if you need help and you're golden

@modest igloo Thanks 🙂

so this might be a dumb question, but i am doing the quest for btn aromatic aspirations, and i have farmed over 100 sprigs of chamomile and not one has been counted for the quest am i doing something wrong ._.

old pecan
#

Do they have to be HQ?

shut panther
#

are you getting (HQ)

old pecan
#

You should have specific skills for boosting the HQ rate

boreal storm
#

After like 30ish, everything has to be HQ

full gust
#

oh ._.

lavish sierra
#

is it blaspheme to skip literally every time cut scene and dialog?

dark copper
old pecan
boreal storm
#

you do you

lavish sierra
#

im just trying to get to the cool stuff but i always hear people say pay attention the first time around but idk how much that eben matters

old pecan
#

This game is very much story focused, so if you want something less story driven this game might not be for you. That being said, the content is still fun without the story

outer star
#

Let me put it this way

#

Did you watch the original Star Wars trilogy?

lavish sierra
#

yes

boreal storm
#

If you don’t care about story, you can skip all you want

heavy wadi
#

Is there like, a central guide to HW and ARR relics somewhere? I'm considering starting em

outer star
#

It's like starting at Return of the Jedi

@heavy wadi ^

heavy wadi
#

pog thanks!

outer star
#

A New Hope may be tedious but it sets things up for future events

#

That's ARR

#

All that super awesome amazing cool stuff later on?

lavish sierra
#

yeah i couldnt give a single shit about what happened in ARR tbh, that was way too long to pay attention to. i looked up a lore video for all of that and will probably do that for the rest of the story as well

outer star
#

It's only that because it's built upon everything else

#

This isn't WoW where everything is discarded when a new expansion rolls in

heavy wadi
#

Each expac is another season of a tv show. Builds upon the last.

lavish sierra
#

ill probably pay attention from shadow bringers on

boreal storm
#

Hmm

lavish sierra
#

look up a video for the rest

heavy wadi
#

you'll probably be a bit lost even if you do that

outer star
#

I'm not sure that's the best way to experience the story

#

Very lost

heavy wadi
#

shb ties up a lot of threads across all the expansions.

outer star
#

A lot of things will be thrown at you and you'll have zero context

boreal storm
#

“What’s a primal, what’s tempering, who’s a crystal tower?”

old pecan
#

I think SHB itself can be experienced as a standalone story

#

But what comes after and its implications on the rest of the story will make 0 sense

outer star
#

Many story beats will leave you with more questions than answers

fresh lodge
#

Shadowbringers builds on a lot of story beats set up in previous expansions

#

But if you're really not liking ARR, you can just skip it and watch a video

scarlet arrow
#

I suppose it depends on what you mean by the "cool stuff"

heavy wadi
#

ARR you can probably safely skip, the other expacs... not so much

outer star
#

You can skim through most of ARR

fresh lodge
#

But I would at the very least pay attention to the Crystal Tower questline

heavy wadi
#

^^

outer star
#

Do not skip Heavensward

boreal storm
#

One ShB dungeon in particular involves the raids from the 3 previous expansions, it’s optional but still

outer star
#

The story beats drop nuclear bombs in the narrative

#

More so than Stormblood had

old pecan
#

I would honestly say don't skip.... I guess

fresh lodge
#

You can always replay the story in NG+

old pecan
#

Because it's worth it in the end lol

outer star
#

Albeit Stormblood does add some interesting topics to think about

old pecan
#

Just remember that ARR was probably made so tedius to deal with the extra dev work they needed due to the re-release / rework of 1.0

outer star
#

Not to mention introducing one of the best villains in the franchise

fresh lodge
#

Anyways, this is getting to be a bit more discussiony for this channel, best to move it to #beginner-lounge

scarlet arrow
#

@lavish sierra apologies if it seemed like we dumped on you a bit, but the heart of FFXIV is its story so if you come in saying that you're not really interested in it than you're going to get a lot of pushback

outer star
#

But yes in short, skim story beats to get the gist of things if you must, but I'd avoid skipping

lavish sierra
#

nah i dont mind at all lmao i would rather input from the fans of the game

#

i love the mechanics of it but i dont enjoy the story very much

outer star
#

I mean I get where you're coming from, I've played WoW from vanilla till Legion

heavy wadi
#

the story is ultimately the primary focus

#

it's a very narrative driven mmo

outer star
#

The transition can be jarring coming from that ultimately it's worth it

heavy wadi
#

and that's ultimately why shb is so praised

outer star
#

I didn't care much for the story either at first but it grows on you

heavy wadi
#

Another question, as for the Dungeon Master achievement does that include raids etc or specifically dungeons and trials?

outer star
#

Dungeon Master?

fresh lodge
#

Pretty sure its any instance content

#

You can farm Ifrit normal for it

heavy wadi
boreal storm
#

Dungeon raid or trials

outer star
#

They forgot a comma

heavy wadi
#

and I'm currently at 837 with a number of classes left to max so I can definitely hit it by just playing, was just wondering because the wording was super weird

outer star
#

This is soloable??

heavy wadi
#

yes

#

and hoh

outer star
#

Oh god I didn't even realise

brisk crypt
#

Just be prepared for it to take a WHILE.

faint flare
#

It's one of the more hardest achievements

boreal storm
#

It’s very difficult without maxed stats

#

And even with them, it’s a hassle

outer star
#

I've done feast of famine, I don't mind a pain in the ass

lavish sierra
#

also when i hit 80 does everything just open up to me? like will i just be able to do whatever i want?

#

for that class at least

boreal storm
#

No still gotta finish story

#

So you can get their job quests, and get the rest of their skills

faint flare
#

Level means fuck all here

#

Story is everything

#

Quite literally

outer star
#

^

lavish sierra
#

makes sense

faint flare
#

In all manners of the word

outer star
#

It's why we insist on following the story rofl

#

Going through MSQ alone gets you to 80

#

Any level grinds are relegated to your other jobs

hollow saddle
#

Emm am I doing something wrong with crafting quests? I started the weaver quest for HW and it requires so much higher crafting skill than I do. Like I need to make HQ holy rainbow gloves and it's like 5000 quality required :/

#

The gear I'm using is from the GC.

outer star
#

Yeah

#

The gear you're using is severely underlevelled for HW crafts most likely

hollow saddle
#

I mean, it seemed to be the best stuff to get from ARR

#

And this is the first quest for weaver.

outer star
#

The GC stuff was intended for early ARR endgame I believe

hollow saddle
#

Mm okay what should I be using?

outer star
#

What's your level?

#

Crafting gear after ARR is in odd level requirements

hollow saddle
#

The GC stuff is level 50. Well due to GC provisions, i'm weaver level 58, lol. But I need to do the quests themselves.

outer star
#

i.e. 51, 53, 55, etc.

#

Oh definitely get replacement gear in that case haha

#

There's a vast stat jump

faint flare
#

Preferably HQ lv58 gear

hollow saddle
#

Well I figured what I'm using now would be okay considering this is the first quest.

#

What would I be using if I started the crafting quests at the beginning of HW.

outer star
#

HW crafting was.. interesting

hollow saddle
#

I'm only 58 due to GC supply things.

boreal storm
#

HW yellow Scrip gear is also 58, you probably can’t get it tho not sure if you made it to idyllshire

faint flare
#

Make sure you're always finishing with a great strikes byregots

outer star
#

Unlike combat crafting is very heavily reliant on your gear

#

The slightest upgrade can be enormous

hollow saddle
#

Mm, okay I will get level 58 gear 🤷‍♀️

#

I just figured this would be fine, since the quest is level 53 😄

outer star
#

If HQ gear is too expensive regular stuff can suffice

faint flare
#

That's like 2 gear upgrades at 53

hollow saddle
#

Oh I see, I'm not sure why they would expect you to upgrade gear like twice in 3 levels, though.

outer star
#

You'd be surprised

hollow saddle
#

Considering how quickly the levels go by with leves and GC stuff.

#

I've caught under 20 fish and I'm fisher level 50 something :D!

civic flare
#

Thanks! But how does simply grinding the highest level dungeon available fit into these 4? For example, should I do leveling/alliance/msq, then do highest level dungeons available with my remaining time over other roulettes like 50/60/70, raid, trial etc?

outer star
#

Well you have to consider exp gains would be scaled up after an expansion or two

hollow saddle
#

Oh I see, I didn't know they did that.

outer star
#

They'd have to

hollow saddle
#

Well, thank you! At least I understand where I'm going wrong. I'll get gear level appropriate then.

outer star
#

Sure thing!

vital ruin
#

in the balance SAM rotation when should i do the 2 filler

outer star
#

Also prioritise left side gear over the right, especially the main parts that increase your craftsmanship

faint flare
#

Sometime after Meikyo and before you need to reapply Higabana

Above does it after 2 midare but can be done sooner if needed

warped meadow
#

Are all the quests after defeating Ultima supposed to level 50 for a while or am I doing something wrong? I'm level 56 but the last 30+ quests have been level 50

faint flare
#

Yes there's 80 of then

#

In total

#

They're the post patch quests added during the wait to heavensward

warped meadow
#

oh so these were 'max level' quests?

faint flare
#

Yes

warped meadow
faint flare
#

There's always post patch stuff after the levelling story

warped meadow
#

ty for the responses

faint flare
#

Thankfully not ad long as arr

warped meadow
#

i just discovered Shiva boss music L_airpod catJam R_airpod would you say i am more than half way?

outer star
#

As is tradition, post-game patches tend to be assorted with epilogue and aftermath quests (x.1-x.3) and the lead-in to the next expansion (x.4-x.55)

#

Yes

faint flare
#

Shiva is 2.4 iirc

#

So just over half

#

Remember to do the crystal tower and hard mode primals

outer star
#

It's the second to last trial of the ARR postgame

faint flare
#

You'll be story blocked if you haven't

outer star
#

Isn't CT part of the MSQ now?

dry solstice
#

ravanas got some bumpin music too

faint flare
#

Still a blue quest

outer star
#

Oh

vital ruin
#

do u burst phase after opener

#

or after cooldown

faint flare
#

Burst is basically your opener again when you loop back to the 60s

vital ruin
#

what's loop back to the 60s

faint flare
#

When you need to redo Higabana

#

And Tsumbae is coming off Cooldown

#

Getting back to your 60s Cooldowns

vital ruin
#

ohh

humble epoch
#

"A Dream Fulfilled" i dont quite understand what to do, could someone help me?

vital ruin
#

my gcd is 2.11 which filler do i go for

#

u need to get crystal sand and umbrite
umbrite u can just buy with poetics you need approx 80 umbrite for a weapon
crystal sand you can exchange for a bunch of stuffs like blue crafters scripts you buy with yellow scripts, amd more
there are bunch of guides online showing best ways to get crystal sand

#

@humble epoch

stray mason
#

I want to bind F for abilities, but it replaces Face Target? What is that exactly and is it useful to have?

broken cairn
#

It makes your character face who they are targeting

humble epoch
#

ah i see

#

how much do i have to upgrade it

#

to complete the quest?

faint flare
#

You gotta fill the bar at the top to full. Average like 60-80 sets

#

!faq anima

zinc orbitBOT
faint flare
#

Guide for anima

humble epoch
#

ah yeah

#

read through that just as u linked

#

but crystal sand

#

what's the best way to obtain that

faint flare
#

If you got crafters levelled then the blue scrip stuff. Otherwise farming heavensward leves and getting the chests that randomly spawn for the vilekin

haughty wasp

Ex wow player I've been playing FFXIV for awhile now and have been using red mage since I've been told it's the easiest class to use starting out. Is this true at the highest lvl because I personally always like using the classes with high skill ceilings so I might end up swapping if there skill ceiling is low

faint flare
#

Yes, it's the second easiest job in the game

warm snow
#

!faq meta

zinc orbitBOT
#
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.

haughty wasp
#

Out of curiosity what is the easiest class

warm snow
#

Rdm has a higher skill ceiling than the other one imho

faint flare
#

There's not that much you really juggle and nothing super changes at cap

warm snow
#

Dnc

faint flare
#

Dancer

#

Literally "press glowy button" job

haughty wasp
#

Ok so I've been debating between monk ninja and dragoon because normally I use melee dps. Is there one class that's just harder than the others between them? I'm going to continue red mage for abit until I fully adjust to the games rotations since mine is already 73 but I'm definitely not going to main it

elder root
#

Dancer pace is really nice tho

#

When you get all your procs and you gotta weave in all the combos

faint flare
#

Monk probably due to the fast pace and constant positionals

glossy flare
#

Monks rotation is very simple though, it's just the speed

#

Ninja may need another braincell or two because Mudra combinations

#

Dragoon is honestly pretty easy

faint flare
#

Simple but it's fast and doing positionals during mechanics

modest igloo
#

DRG has animation lock, MNK has positionals, NIN has fast burst, SAM has punishing uptime

elder root
#

Frankly I’d recommend samurai, it feels really clean and rewarding to play

haughty wasp
#

I dont wanna use Sam because I hear there extremely popular and I have a weird thing with that 🤣

modest igloo
#

meh

faint flare
#

Eh

modest igloo
#

i dont see too many of them

warm snow
#

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

elder root
#

Whatever floats your boat

glossy flare
#

I see lots of people in Ironworks gear on SAM which makes me assume that lots of people indeed rush to unlock the job

haughty wasp
#

There also top1 dmg dealer from what I've heard aside from like top 0.0001% Black mage? Unless I'm wrong I'm still new

glossy flare
#

But I don't see that many at lvl 80

#

So probably not that many people stick with it

modest igloo
elder root
#

Top 1 damage dealer isn’t everything

glossy flare
modest igloo
#

i outdps most SAM's on MCH lol

glossy flare
#

player skill is a much more important factor

elder root
#

Samurai bring 0 raid utility, and raid utility is important

haughty wasp
modest igloo
glossy flare
haughty wasp
#

So essentially the only way samurai is even good to begin with is if your super optimal on your rotations

modest igloo
#

no

glossy flare
#

Nah

#

Samurai is low skill floor, high skill ceiling

modest igloo
#

SAM is easy to pick up hard to master

elder root
#

Very high skill ceiling at that

haughty wasp
#

I mean they have 0 utility tho from what you guys said so why use a basic SAM when a basic dragoon or something can do similar numbers with utility is what I'd say

elder root
#

You have a lot of resources to keep track of

glossy flare
#

I wouldn't say very high

#

I have more respect for great monks than for great sams 😄

minor ridge
#

Can you keep playing as if you had the demo if your sub runs out?

glossy flare
#

once subbed always gotta sub

#

no going back to the trial

haughty wasp
#

Do sam classes even have positionals?

elder root
#

They do

haughty wasp
#

Jobs sorry*

glossy flare
haughty wasp
#

Still adjusting to the word Jobs lol its weird

elder root
#

Nobody really cares

glossy flare
#

So even with the "no utility" factored in SAM still "wins"

elder root
#

I say classes all the time

haughty wasp
#

O ok not tryna get cooked within my first 5mins in the discord lol

glossy flare
#

point is, SAM is easy to pick up and a solid dps job

haughty wasp
#

Man u guys actually got me interested in SAM now

glossy flare
#

but you can't start as one anyway

#

gotta wait until lvl 50

haughty wasp
#

I already have red mage lvl 73

modest igloo
#

i think I'll pick up sam as my melee of choice

haughty wasp
#

And 67 dancer iirc

modest igloo
#

i just prefer MCH wayyyy too much

elder root
#

I picked up sam because it felt really nice to play

glossy flare
#

drill literally goes brr

#

I get you

elder root
#

Ultimately I think you should just go with feel

#

Try it out for 10 levels, see if you like the flow

modest igloo
#

i'm already using all 3 of my briancells learning savage fights

haughty wasp
#

I think I'll just get red mage to lvl80 and finish shadowbringers with it then move to either SAM Monk or Ninja

elder root
#

But I will say sam difficulty spikes pretty hard at 70-80

modest igloo
#

try them all out and see what flows with ya

haughty wasp
#

Does ninja have any high skill ceiling to it?

modest igloo
#

kinda?

glossy flare
#

Ninja is reasonably fast and dang fast during its burst phase

modest igloo
#

its hard to learn the mudras and burst window at 80

haughty wasp
#

Naturally that job definitely called to me because... it's a ninja 🤣 but I genuinely dont like easy classes

elder root
#

It’s like invoker from dota to me if you know

modest igloo
#

and then it's like 1-2-3 until the next TA

elder root
#

Ninja is definitely not easy

glossy flare
#

remembering the mudra combinations isn't hard

#

just takes practice

modest igloo
#

what doesn't take practice

open ember
#

To be fair all jobs aren't that hard

haughty wasp
#

Dancer

glossy flare
#

true

haughty wasp
#

🤣

open ember
#

You just have to learn them

gaunt turtle
#

Anyone want to get a recruiter bonus for recruiting me?

open ember
#

Then they become easy

#

Also difficulty is subjective

elder root
#

But frankly the class design in ff14 is amazing

haughty wasp
#

I feel like from what I've seen monk job in general definitely dosnt seem easy even if you learn it

open ember
#

Again, you practice how to play it

haughty wasp
#

Yeah even with practice the word easy is still abit much to me

humble epoch
#

any good guide to level weaver?

elder root
#

I don’t get your issue

#

You don’t like “easy” classes

#

We tell you the hard ones

haughty wasp
#

I dont have a issue I just wanted to know the high skill ceiling jobs which you guys have told me

#

I was just saying I dont think saying every class is easy is true even with practice @elder root

modest igloo
#

that is true

elder root
#

Easiness is subjective

glossy flare
#

Summoner also has decent complexity

modest igloo
#

ive seen mnk players that parse pink and they go "bro i just hit the buttons in the good order"

heavy wadi
#

there aren't really any objectively hard jobs, difficulty is subjective

#

MNK and NIN are definitely high skill ceiling due to the speed that you go at

glossy flare
#

monk is just dang easy if you get the routine down

haughty wasp
#

I'm entirely open to using black mage but from what little I've heard the rotations of that class are actually crazy easy it's just the fact that you have to fully know every boss mechanics and your positioning is hard.. again I'm a noob so this could be wrong

#

Just what I've heard

modest igloo
#

thats kinda it

glossy flare
#

It's somewhat true, yeah

modest igloo
#

bosses are harder and have more shit going on

faint flare
#

Basically

glossy flare
#

black mage wants to minimize movement as much as possible

elder root
#

Anyway just pick a class, play with it for a bit

glossy flare
#

so knowing stuff in advance is what you need

elder root
#

If you don’t like it, just try something else

haughty wasp
#

Or I can whale out

#

Every class instat lvl 70

elder root
#

Please don’t

haughty wasp
#

🤣

elder root
#

There’s really no point

#

Leveling is so fast anyway

haughty wasp
#

Technically it does help the devs

heavy wadi
#

That would... not really be beneficial.

haughty wasp
#

But yeah I'm not doing that I enjoy the grind of lvling jobs

#

I think the lvling grind on here is much more enjoyable than WoW from my current experience

elder root
#

Wow omegalul

Heya! I've used one of the retainer's journey books to bump em' to 70, but I was wondering what sort of level 70 gear I could get easily/cheaply for retainers for the purposes of ilvl for doing ventures?

Scaevan

#

If combat

#

Or lv70 scrip gear if gathering

sturdy glacier

Yeah, they're arcanists, forgot to mention

Glamour FAQ

'What is Glamour and how do I unlock it?'

Glamour is the process of changing an equipment's look into a different item with the use of Glamour Prisms. You can unlock the ability to glamour by doing the level 15 quests 'If I Had a Glamour' in Vesper Bay, West Thanalan. Although not required, you can unlock the ability to dye gear with the nearby quest 'Color Your World'. You can get the Orange Juice needed by talking to the nearby Merchant & Mender. Items used for glamouring are not lost upon use.

'How do I glamour? Where do I get more Prisms?'

Glamouring is done by right-clicking (Square or X on controllers) on the equipment you want to glamour and choosing the option 'Cast Glamour'. After clicking this you choose the item you want the appearance on the right half of the menu that opened up. You can get more Glamour Prisms by either crafting them after completing the quest 'Absolutely Glamourous', buying them from your Grand Company Quartermaster, or buying them from the marketboard.

Tldr: this games transmog

In essence

haughty wasp
#

This community is definitely the best experience I've had

#

Aside from tanks playing spin the boss -_- 🤣

faint flare
#

Those are just shit tanks

#

Only times bosses should turn are when they force turn for mechanic

elder root
#

Sometimes I wonder if I should turn the boss back after I dodge a mechanic

faint flare
#

Even then good tanks can try to preposition for that pre enptively

#

Tbh if a boss turns for a Mechanic I don't bother turning it back. The melees have already adjusted to the rear

#

Unless the boss cleaves

#

Then I turn it back

haughty wasp
#

I'm actually going to try a tank class when I get lvl 80 this week. It seems really enjoyable honestly and every tank job seems fun

willow fern
#

As a tank, if your ping is decent enough, you can get back in the aoe once the spell cast is done with very minimal movement from the boss and no dmg taken.

elder root
#

Yeah that’s what I do too but wasnt sure if that’s how it should be

glossy flare
#

yeah don't bother turning the boss again if you already turned it for whatever reason (unless it cleaves)

willow fern
#

animation and spell cast are two different things, meaning the animation will "hit" you but you won't be damaged

elder root
#

But even if it cleaves, the dps should be standing behind the boss anyway right

modest igloo
#

the fact that all tanks are fun and balanced to a like 2% degree is insane

elder root
#

Since they’re dodging the mechanic too

faint flare
#

Yeah, it's just the ranged/healers

modest igloo
#

also fell cleave

faint flare
#

That probably need to move

elder root
#

Even ranged, but idk

faint flare
#

Depends on the mechanic it's turning for

elder root
#

When I’m playing ranged, I always run to the back of the boss

glossy flare
#

Then there is the one blm who refuses to move

#

you always get those 😄

sturdy glacier
#

you don't get a set of class gear at 70, do you?

elder root
#

Some do

heavy wadi

you do

Most actually

except for gnb/dnc

sturdy glacier
#

olafsearch maybe I should check the uh

#

salvager guy

faint flare
#

Job gear yes

elder root
#

You should do your job quest

#

That’s where they come from

sturdy glacier
#

I mean, this was ages ago that I was a level 70 arcanist

glossy flare
#

everyone but dnc and gnb get job gear at 70 via their job quest, yeah

heavy wadi
#

you get a coffer

sturdy glacier
#

ah, but not gear that I can reclaim from the salvager?

elder root
#

Check your bags

#

If not check salvager yeah

Whenever they want to do them after this expansion

#

There's not a real pattern with crafted primal weapons

slim mango
#

I'm craftin Aesthete's gear and the Tools are WORSE than Handsain'ts even after the recommended meld.... why would they still be in guides then

#

806 Craft + 441 Control vs. 830 Craft + 455 Control

#

is it cuz of CP

true jolt
#

Crafted gear is better over scrip gear cause they can be pentamelded

slim mango
#

it dodesn't say to pentameld weapons

#

just gear

I posted this yesterday but had no response. Hopefully someone can help me with this.

Hey guys Idk if this is the place for this question but i'm stuck with my UI / general settings
I haven't played in over a year, just came back and all my settings/keybinds have all reset
My settings are definitely still there, but the game isn't using them

true jolt
# slim mango it dodesn't say to pentameld weapons

I'm not expert in crafting and BiS but i think that specific build is designed to reach certain tier to be able to macro some recipes with 100% thud making extra stat is wasted if you can 100% with non penta meld (penta meld is expesinve so if you can get away without it, why not?)

If you penta meld the weap, it'll surpass the handsaint

faint flare
#

And CP in general is just extremely important

#

You don't really need more control/craftsmanship if you meet the minimum requirements

Grand Company FAQ

Which Grand Company should I choose?

The only differences between the three Grand Companies are the looks of the equipment and where they're located. The story doesn't change in regards to the Grand Company you choose beside the quest that comes after "The Company You Keep". Here is a link leading to sample sets from each of the Grand Companies:

Grand Company Gear

How do I get Grand Company Seals?

You can get more seals mainly by completing your Grand Company Hunting Log (Go to the Hunting Log and click on the GC icon), completing FATEs, and turning in crafted/gathered items to the Personnel Officer if you have crafting or gathering classes unlocked. Once you are Sergeant 2nd Class you can turn in Pink/Green/Blue-rarity gear in exchange for more seals.

who has the most tank Mitigation for supporting their team

heavy wadi
#

the answer is Yes

glossy flare
#

Every tank has one big group mitigation

#

then there's a few tiny other ones

warm snow
#

As well as reprisal and the single target mitigation that they all have

#

Etc etc

Dark Knight probably wins just because tbn can be cast on others, but I wouldn't put it on a pedestal because of that

you can do it w/ up to 4 ppl

everything is of equal difficulty whether you're in a full party, running solo or duo

you have to talk to all the NPCs that sort of "show you around" the area. the first one is right next to the board in the center, it's a quest chain

talk to that one and it'll take you from one to the next until you've done them all then you can talk to the diadem guy and he'll give you the option

Hey guys I’m new to FF, I’m currently playing a summoner and I’m having a hard time with my hot bar can any one help me out😅

random girder
#

sure i can help

#

what exactly do you need help with

leaden ginkgo
#

So I just unlocked a pet ability and I’m trying to equip it to a hot bar but it’s not allowing me to equip it to anything

random girder
#

that is your egi assault

#

its a separate thing because summoner gets 3 summons that use egi assaults, so depending on the summon thats out it uses a different attack

leaden ginkgo
#

The ability I’m trying to equip is called flaming crush which is under the pet tab

glossy flare
#

you cant put those on a hotbar

random girder
#

yeah that is your egi assault I

glossy flare
#

you have egi assault for that

when you summon ifrit, egi assault I is flaming crush

which will change into a pet ability depending on what pet is out

Oh man I got it now, so I don’t even need flaming crush on my hot bar. I’m using ifrit rn so it goes like this Egi Assault > Assault crimson cyclone > flaming crush

cunning loom

yeah

#

egi assaults will just tell your pet to execute the skill

scarlet arrow

egi assaults I and II will dynamically change into whatever the appropriate skill is for the egi you have out

Egi assault IS flaming crush and Crimson cyclobe

always to jumpstart your melee combo

so 40/40 is best

the second you get 40/40 or higher pop it

exactly

And it gives a magic buff later to buff the combo

outer mural
#

anywhere between 40 - 60

optimally 50 since you get the most mana

but that promotes bad habits later on

using manafication at 40 generates the same amount of mana if you do it at 60

hiya, so I'm working on getting a treasure map (70/80 maps) group setup with my FC, and I was curious what group comp is usually used for that? 2 heal / 2 tank / 4 dps or something different?
Most of us aren't geared perfect, roughly ~400-450 for most of our avg. ilvl, since a few of us are just finishing ShB now and haven't gotten any higher gear.

#

generally just 1 tank 1 healer's fine

#

rest being DPS is better

the ilevel is scaled down too for 80 maps iirc so it's not the world's biggest deal

hey can i confirm my math here?
at level 25 and below, 2 overpower is the same potency against 2 targets as heavy swing+maim against 1 target (520)
at level 26+, 3 overpowers is only stronger against 3+ targets (1170+) since heavy swing+maim+storm's path is stronger on 1 target (920) than 3 overpowers on 2 targets (740)

Newb Central here. I have no click and can't seem to figure out how to throw a Firesand stick at a the Rock of Rancor. Please send help lol

green grail
#

probably use it in your key items and you'll get a ground placement thingy on your cursor

oak ice
#

In your quest list to the right you have the item icon, if you click on it it becomes a ground aoe that follows your cursor

fast hull

^Oh someone already answered

#

I don't know how controllers do the thingies though

What's the most efficient way of using GC Seals?

glossy flare
#

First of all ranking up, so you can unlock the gear turn in (for even more seals)

#
  • squadrons which is nice I suppose
fading aurora
#

which version of the hyur is the skinny one that fits the 2b model?

glossy flare
#

Once you have that you can just convert the seals into glamour prisms and some mats

fading aurora
#

i know one is thicker than the other

glossy flare
#

nothing super fancy tbh

tulip salmon
#

is the lucian gear still available/a way to obtain it?

faint flare
#

No

glossy flare
faint flare

Coming back September

glossy flare

highlander is too beefy

tulip salmon
#

oh well I will keep questing until then

fading aurora
#

trying to fantaisa for like the 20th time now lmao

#

i change race like every week

glossy flare
#

ah, a fantasia addict

fading aurora
#

i have the i cant decide syndrome

mental oracle
#

Are healers the best damage dealers in pyros?

twilit abyss
#

what's the best use for Barrage on a BRD?

thorn pine
#

are the nier raids only at lvl 80 or are there previous ones (like one in stormblood or smthn)

faint flare
#

Refulgant arrow/straight shot

#

It literally gives you the proc for it

#

On use

heavy wadi
twilit abyss
young steppe
#

In ShB does the path matters?

faint flare
#

You do them both

young steppe
#

Simultaneously?

heavy wadi
#

you go to the other after you finish the first

faint flare
#

You need to do them both

young steppe
#

Oh okay

faint flare
#

To progress

fast hull
#

Excuse me is there like a skill that increases fire starter ( like more crit or dex)... something along those lines or just random

young steppe
#

I thought there's a different mount but cool

#

Thanks

twilit abyss
#

it doesn't seem to happen

!action Barrage

zinc orbitBOT

**Barrage** : lvl 38 ARC BRD (80.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

"additional effect: grants straight shot ready"

midnight tinsel
#

is there any job that gives me extra text in stormblood like dragoon for heavensward ?

faint flare
#

Healer

#

Gives you like

glossy flare
#

not even close to that extent, but yeah ^

faint flare
#

3 words

midnight tinsel
#

same for shadowbringers ?

slate spindle
#

I think you get more flavour text just for having completed coil before in sb than most jobs/roles

glossy flare
#

I think Shadowbringers msq has no unique lines for any job

midnight tinsel
#

ok thx

young steppe
#

What does the downwards logo mean for quests?

faint flare
#

Quest sync

#

It syncs to your level

heavy wadi
#

means the quest is scaled down to your level

faint flare
#

Like Beast tribes do

sweet leaf
#

should i be using tomahawk at all?

#

i usually used ranged attacks on my tanks to initiate

open coral
#

It's your ranged pull

#

So yes.

fast hull
#

I use it to pull mobs in dungeons

young steppe
#

Cool, thanks

open coral
#

Good way to grab a pack of linked enemies really quick so your rdps can start doing their thing.

sweet leaf
#

but i shouldn't use stuff like piercing talon or throwing dagger?

open coral
#

You can use those too.

glossy flare
#

only if there is absolutely no other option

open coral
#

I think Tomahawk has more range?

glossy flare
#

it's better than doing nothing

faint flare
#

Only if it doesn't break combos as well

sweet leaf
#

a few weeks ago i was told piercing talon should NEVER be used by people in this channel

little swift
#

No all the ranged gcd pulls are 15 yalms

#

You use it if you're going to be away from the boss long enough that your combo bonis will be gone

faint flare
#

Basically don't use ranged skills on melees if it breaks combos or if the Downtime is like really short

glossy flare
#

I mean in 99% of situations you shouldn't use piercing talon

little swift
#

Away from the boss for 15 yards of distance for more than 15s almost never happens

glossy flare
#

it breaks combos and is abysmal dmg

#

But sometimes you don't have a combo going and have no other option whatsoever

little swift
#

If it is happening, figure out why, and don't do it again

glossy flare
#

in which case you might as well use it

slate spindle
#

If and only if you absolutely have to

sweet leaf
#

i also wish i knew how far a yalm actually was while in the middle of combat. like i kinda wish it had a hud element like in STO where it showed the distance to your current target

slate spindle
#

Should never be used as a crutch in lieu of doing things better

regal locust
#

I can't use '^' (the up arrow) and '~' ingame, when i do the up arrow it fills in a blank and says; 'this command does not exist'. I'm a massive fan of saying Hello ^~^ so its very frustrating. If anyone knows what the problem could be let me know 🥺

slate spindle
#

enmity plugin used to show your range vs your target, but that hasn't worked in a very long time

#

It's easy enough to get it by feel, since you know when actions will change colour to be usable

sweet leaf
#

it just feels a bit unintuitive to have to guage the distance based on memory alone

open coral
#

Oh, I just realized you asked about a tank ranged pull ability use vs. two dps ranged abilities.

#

There's no point using the dps ones.

#

For all the reasons mentioned above.

slate spindle
#

It has its uses in deep dungeon content

sweet leaf
#

yeah i've been told i can cover 15y by walking normally faster than a 2.5s GCD

slate spindle
#

Whether it's single pulling from a pack or kiting to do some damage

little swift
#

Its the same concept when you're in combat with a tank tbh you don't want to break the combo

sweet leaf
#

which i didn't believe, but i guess i have to trust lol

little swift
#

Even facepulling with aoe is often a better choice for mobbing trash

sweet leaf
#

i don't really know a character's walking/sprinting speed, or mount speeds

outer mural
little swift
#

Since you hit every target rather than the 1 you ranged pull

outer mural
#

there's zero world where you'd actually use it because dragoon's combos are so long and using it will be a severe loss

#

there's no 1% where you'd actually want to use it

sweet leaf
#

if i did use it, i would never be in the middle of combo

outer mural
#

it's just a dead skill

slate spindle
#

Which is why it's worth mentioning the exception

little swift
#

Thats true

outer mural
#

it also cancels raiden thrust at later levels i think

#

so even out of combo it's just

little swift
#

But deep dungeon has slightly different rules anyways

sweet leaf
#

i'm not even high enough lvl drg to know what raiden thrust is lol

glossy flare
#

yeah fair point, since drg loops their combo piercing talon becomes even jankier than on the other melees

little swift
#

You don't go gung-ho willy nilly w2w

glossy flare
sweet leaf
#

ive got every job to at least 50 but there's some i hardly touch at all

glossy flare
#

your combo essentially becomes infinite

#

you just loop over and over again

little swift
#

!action Raiden thrust

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Raiden Thrust** : lvl 76 DRG (2.5 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Delivers an attack with a potency of 330.
Can only be executed when Raiden Thrust Ready.

※This action cannot be assigned to a hotbar.

sweet leaf
#

ah, 76

little swift
#

It replaces the first step of your combo

sweet leaf
#

i have 4 jobs above 70

glossy flare
#

oh sorry yeah it replaces True Thrust, not Full Thrust

#

my mistake

#

(so many thrusts)

little swift
#

Assuming you do your positionals correctly on fang and claw/wheeling thrust

flint dove

where can I see how many bicolor gemstone do i have?

hello im new, is there any links on guide toward certain classes for pve open world?

#

im trying samurai, its hard....died instantly

crystal bluff

All classes are viable

glossy flare

!faq samrotation

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Samurai Rotation Guide:**
glossy flare
#

use that and just ignore all abilities you do not have yet

#

the rotation stays roughly the same, just more stuff that gets added on

crystal bluff
#

Unless you're fighting stuff way over your level or like
Soloing a fate boss
I csnt think of anything that killed you instantly in open world

sweet leaf
#

i think an important question is what you're trying to fight and how many are you trying to fight?

glossy flare
#

also important to note that the starting gear for sam is kinda... shit? 😅

outer mural
#

is there a command that mutes the entire game

glossy flare
#

you should get some ironworks

sweet leaf
#

yeah, i'd replace all the new jobs with ironworks/shire instantly
