#

But couldn't I just use Ruin once and get that full 30s of damage in 2.5s?

faint flare
#

A full duration Miasma does a total of 220 potency

ashen fossil
#

Or near enough

faint flare
#

You can use both

#

Miasma and bio do damage while you're doing other things

#

And do more damage than Ruin

robust crow
#

!skill ruin

heavy tiger
#

is the 30% earring really worth it?

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Ruin** : lvl 1 ACN SMN (200 MP) (2.5 second cooldown)(2.5 second base cast time)

Deals unaspected damage with a potency of 180.

heavy tiger
#

is levelling slow after 50?

faint flare
#

It's very important to keep your Dots up

#

Especially when you get Fester at 18

robust crow
#

ruin and miasma/bio cost the same amount of time to cast

#

which is one GCD

#

ruin is 180 damage for one GCD

#

miasma is 220 damage for one GCD

#

just spread out over 30 seconds

#

and yeah that's not counting fester, which does damage based on how many dots you have on your target

#

for the record, GCD stands for Global Cooldown

#

it's the 2.5s delay you run into after casting any spell

#

or weaponskill

#

not abilities

#

instant cast spells like bio incur the GCD, so even though it's "instant cast" you still can't cast another spell for 2.5 seconds

#

miasma happens to have exactly a 2.5 cast time, which is the same as your GCD, so as soon as you cast miasma you can cast another spell

placid fiber
#

Is there a way I can see what certain races would look like in gear if I don’t have one myself

faint flare
#

Make an alt or use a model viewer

naive shore
#

can you farm breach coins now from raid more than once a week? duty finder says reward already received

faint flare
#

Yes

#

That's for the materia cluster

heavy tiger
#

can the preorder 30% earrings be transffered to diff chracters?

#

nvm ignore that question

faint flare
#

It goes to all

heavy tiger
#

oooh

naive shore
#

can you farm breach coins now from raid more than once a week? duty finder says reward already received

faint flare
#

I answered you

faint flare
naive shore
#

oh okay. thank you. i was just hesitating to run it because it still says obtainable weekly on duty finder and reward already received.

faint flare
#

What it's for

leaden ginkgo
#

How do people make high item level gear? Saw gear that’s way higher than anything my quests have given me so far

faint flare
#

Tomes

#

At endgame

#

And raids, and crafted gear

leaden ginkgo
#

Ahh bet

#

What do I spend my tomes this early ?

#

I’m near capped n I don’t need any gear on any job rn

naive shore
faint flare
#

Ironworks gear at 50

grand ember
#

if you are in a FC and there is someone much higher level, they can craft you gear

robust crow
faint flare
#

Then shire at 60

#

Then scaevan at 70

robust crow
#

consider having close to 2k tomes banked for when you hit 60 in the MSQ to buy yourself gear right away

#

but most of the time you don't need to buy any additional gear off the marketboard

#

it's not necessary since you're locked behind MSQ progress to do anything higher level anyway

visual agate
#

does that mean i cant reach floor 50?

leaden ginkgo
#

oh I bought everything I needed from market board tbh lol

robust crow
#

it is a waste of gil to do so

#

but hey it ain't my money

grand ember
#

I ended up not having quite enough tomes at lvl 60 so ended up having to get a couple pieces from the marketboard

robust crow
#

in that case just wait and farm more tomes

leaden ginkgo
#

Wait what happens at 60 :/

robust crow
#

you don't need that level 60 gear right now

leaden ginkgo
#

Just gear for GNB & DNC?

robust crow
#

you'll be fine picking up a few pieces of gear here and there

#

60 is a story milestone that unlocks the next set of poetics gear

#

that's all

#

same at 70

leaden ginkgo
#

Oh bet

faint flare
robust crow
#

it doesn't help that marketboard gear in the 50-70 range is horribly overpriced

#

the "efficient" gearing strategy is to stick with your 130 ironworks gear until around level 55ish MSQ, where the dungeon drops start being better

#

just use the dungeon drops from 55-60 until you unlock the 60 poetics vendor

#

buy a full set

#

rinse and repeat to level 65ish

visual agate
#

thx

robust crow
#

there is no need to outgear story anyway

leaden ginkgo
#

Is poetics gear the highest lvl item at that point

robust crow
#

it doesn't do you any favors to have level 70 gear on a level 70 character if you are only at story level 55

leaden ginkgo
#

Like is poetics at lvl80 the highest item level as well?

robust crow
#

no, poetics gear stops at level 70

#

level 80 uses a different tomestone

#

but yes, at levels 50, 60, and 70 poetics gear is the best gear you can get

leaden ginkgo
#

Bet

robust crow
#

and they last about halfway through to the next expansion, as previously mentioned

grand ember
#

I am sitting at *166 right now. level 62 BRD

robust crow
#

so ilevel 130, which is the level 50 poetics gear, will last until about level 55 MSQ, where your quest and dungeon rewards start being better

robust crow
#

as I mentioned before

faint flare
#

At 60 you're i270

#

When you get access to Idyllshire

robust crow
#

so if your MSQ is still level 50 then having 162 gear doesn't really do you anything

faint flare
#

For shire

robust crow
#

basically what I'm getting at is

#

don't buy gear off the marketboard

#

lol

grand ember
#

MSQ is not at 50.

#

I am in the 60s on MSQ

feral nebula
#

the only way of getting exarchic gear is through crafting or theres a npc to buy them?

robust crow
#

we're talking specifically MSQ level, not character level

faint flare
#

If you have access to Idyllshire then you can buy shire

grand ember
#

I am aware of that

faint flare
grand ember
#

I am in Heavensward

robust crow
#

but you probably are not at the end of heavensward

feral nebula
#

so what are tomestones of allegory/relevation for exactly?

faint flare
#

Gear

robust crow
#

which is when you unlock the level 60 poetics vendor

faint flare
#

Without spending gil

grand ember
#

Not at the end, no.

faint flare
#

Allegory can get i490 gear, upgrade Exarchic and buy mats to craft exarchic

#

Revelation is for 520 gear which can be upped to 530

grand ember
#

Most of my gear is ironworks

robust crow
leaden ginkgo
#

Since I already wasted my Gil and got my avg item level unnecessarily high , do I spend my tomes on gear to donate to GC ? Just enough to not be capped on tomes

grand ember
#

pretty sure I am past 55

robust crow
#

poetics are plentiful and can be spent with impunity

grand ember
#

nope, guess I misspoke... it's 53

robust crow
#

on that same note

#

don't sell off your poetics gear either

#

another class is going to use it

#

so if you bought a full set for, say, archer/bard

#

keep it for when you level machinist

grand ember
#

I am freaking stuck on 53 though

robust crow
#

else you're just gonna have to rebuy it back later

grand ember
#

got lost.

leaden ginkgo
#

I was wondering, can I use Class-specific gear, say the RDM sets as glam for say BLU?

#

I want that armor but blue

leaden ginkgo
#

:(

robust crow
#

if it's class restricted then you cannot use it on any other class

leaden ginkgo
#

is there a website for experimental glamours?

#

like you can put any armor on a model as a test

#

and dye it

grand ember
#

pretty sure if it is class restricted it won't even let you equip it to another class. it just won't go into the slot.

robust crow
#

yes, that's correct

leaden ginkgo
#

ah

robust crow
#

there is a site like that but I forget the name of it

#

someone linked it to me when I was asking for a way to preview glamours

#

it wasn't eorzeacollection

leaden ginkgo
#

What’s the highest GC rank rn?

robust crow
#

captain

rough lynx
#

how can i get glamour prisms?

robust crow
vagrant crescent
#

What can I buy as a free to play player? I almost reached 300,000 limit. That's why, lol XD

midnight yew
#

How do I raise my item level? I cant do the next part of a quest because my average item level is under 45

robust crow
#

other ways include crafting it (not recommended) or buying from marketboard

rough lynx
#

thx ^^

wind yarrow
#

is there a lot of endgame content/

rough lynx
#

i cant access market, im on free trial

vocal zenith
#

I keep getting my ass kicked in my lvl 60 rdm job quest by that douche Lambard. My rdm is lvl 60 but my gear is at 180. Am I too low for this?

vagrant crescent
faint flare
#

Yeah pretty low

#

Go buy some shire

robust crow
#

whatever dyes

vagrant crescent
#

Is X-Potion only part of a Expansion?

robust crow
#

i don't remember what level X-Potions are but they're pretty useless

#

like, 99% of the time

#

certainly not worth gil dumping

slate arrow
#

!item x-potion

zinc orbitBOT
# slate arrow !item x-potion
**X-Potion** **:** Medicine : ilvl 70

This powerful concoction instantly restores a sizable amount of HP.

vagrant crescent
#

What potion I should buy as a free to play player than?

slate arrow
#

but yeah potions in general kinda trash

#

none

robust crow
#

none

slate arrow
#

You don't need them

robust crow
#

i suggested buying the crafting gear sets for a reason

vagrant crescent
#

Not even MP Potion? LolXD

faint flare
#

No

robust crow
#

it's because they will make your leveling process a lot easier when you do get into crafting

faint flare
#

If it's not a stat increasing Potion it's shit

robust crow
#

super ether has uses in endgame raid prog

#

otherwise nah it sucks

#

no other MP potion is worth considering

vagrant crescent
#

How? Isn't it hard to manage MP?

Or do MP go up fast even during combat?

robust crow
#

no MP is a joke

#

every class that uses MP has a way to manage it easily

faint flare
#

You only run out of MP if you like die or chain raise people

robust crow
#

healers have lucid dreaming and their assorted individual tools

#

RDM and SMN don't use enough MP to care

faint flare
#

Or just forget to ever press lucid dreaming ever

slate arrow
#

**Lucid Dreaming** : lvl 24 CNJ THM ACN WHM BLM SMN SCH AST RDM BLU (60.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Stuff like this

vagrant crescent
#

What stat increase potion I should get as a free to play player than?

slate arrow
#

none

robust crow
#

none

vagrant crescent
#

None for that either? LolXD

faint flare
#

Nothing you can buy from vendors

robust crow
#

i keep telling you the answer but it doesn't seem likeyou want it

#

lmao

dreamy reef
#

can anyone help me with this

robust crow
#

either dump your gil on crafting gear or buy a bunch of dyes you like

faint flare
#

Stat pots can only gotten via crafting

verbal rune
#

So...

#

I need help with chancing my pvp hotbar

#

Can I modify them only on the island?

slate arrow
#

Yes

robust crow
faint flare
#

Only on wolves den yes

slate arrow
#

Only in the den

verbal rune
#

Second thing is, where do I grab skills from to put em in the second hotbar?

hasty turtle
#

so after lv50 the only way to get new gear is through dungeon drops right?

#

since i'm way behind on the story

vagrant crescent
robust crow
#

you would be buying

#

almost every piece

robust crow
#

from the NPC

#

at least the level 20 and 40 sets

verbal rune
#

Ah, I see

robust crow
#

along with a tool for every crafter

#

and an off-tool

verbal rune
#

I'm blind as a bat

dreamy reef
#

ok let me try that ty renaulte

wind yarrow
#

should i be doing DoH and stuff like that

#

i havent done any

slate arrow
#

You don't have to

wind yarrow
#

also where do i buy new gear? i am 51 WAR doing astral

#

with the allagan tomes?

slate arrow
#

!faq poetics

wind yarrow
#

!faq tomes

slate arrow
zinc orbitBOT
wind yarrow
#

!faq allagan tomes

zinc orbitBOT
wind yarrow
#

ok

faint flare
#

!faq poetics

zinc orbitBOT
faint flare
#

It's this

wind yarrow
#

tyty

vagrant crescent
# robust crow along with a tool for every crafter

Well my hand and land isn't high level, so the gears I buy for them shouldn't cost much gil.

I'm only leveling them up through the daily stuff, and just do story for the rest so not high level yet.

So 1 piece per each set is not much, plus I've already got some of the current level gear for alot of them too.

robust crow
#

it will easily cost you upwards of 100k to buy 2 sets of crafting gear and tools

wind yarrow
#

should i be buying gear with poetics at level 50? or save for later

robust crow
#

and again I said this is for the future

faint flare
#

Poetics grow on trees

slate arrow
#

Heavensward's stat curve is absolutely murder

wind yarrow
#

okok i gotta farm em

slate arrow
#

You want to be i130

faint flare
#

You'll be capped by the time you get to 60

wind yarrow
#

ohhhh yeah i forgot doing hw when i get there

high owl
#

hey does anybody know where you get the samurai armor shown in the stormblood/shadowbringers cinematics?

dreamy reef
#

ok renaulte where do u put a name in to find it sorry for asking dumb questions but don't use discord that much so still learning

leaden ginkgo
#

where do i go to get like mount speed for these places i feel so slow

robust crow
faint flare
#

Bicolour gemstone traderd

robust crow
#

it's the 4th tab

high owl
faint flare
#

But flying is faster

leaden ginkgo
#

but doesnt fly speed get controlled by that too?

faint flare
#

No

#

That's ground speed only

rustic flare
#

How does my miner gear look?

leaden ginkgo
#

oh shit pog

robust crow
faint flare
#

It's why we say riding maps are basically useless

robust crow
#

level 80 gear is around ilevel 500

leaden ginkgo
#

so i suppose i need to farm/get all the aethers in my area then

#

kek

hardy scroll
#

Hey, anyone mind logging on and adding a friend and I to a party?

faint flare
#

You naturally pass by all the currents as you do the story

hardy scroll
#

Bet

faint flare
#

Just use the compass now and then

vagrant crescent
# robust crow and again I said this is for the future

Well I can't. If I wait for the future than my gil would surpass the limit, and if I just buy all the gears that I can't use for the future then my inventory will run out. My inventory has alot of items already, just didn't sold them yet cause I don't know which is useful and which isn't useful.

That's why I'm trying to like get a few items that I can buy multiple of, like 600. Lol XD

feral nebula
robust crow
#

then, again, go buy like 100 of a dye you like

dull lotus
#

Hey I have a very quick question about subscriptions: If I'm a steam player, do I have to pay for my subscription through the Steam payment, or can I just charge my card directly?

feral nebula
#

You'll end up unlocking flying while never going totally out of ur path

robust crow
#

the truth is, you are limited in what you can spend gil on as a free trial player

robust crow
#

so really just go find ways to dump money

faint flare
#

It's an option when picking sub payment

robust crow
#

buy a bunch of cheap food so you can maintain your EXP buff

#

or buy like 1000 gysahl greens

#

because lord knows you'll eventually use it all

dull lotus

How do I get machinist

robust crow
#

or go buy a stack of 200 of a dye color you like

feral nebula
#

finish ARR and do the quest in Ishgard @hardy scroll

hasty turtle
robust crow
#

lots of vendors

vagrant crescent
#

Why don't people use stat increasing potion either? Like Vit, Strength, etc..

robust crow
#

the one I always go to is either in your FC house or the one right next to the aetheryte in limsa

robust crow
candid tiger
#

How long can I wait after buying the game to use the activation key?

robust crow
#

or completely unnecessary

hardy scroll
#

What are all the jobs I can get while still in ARR?

vagrant crescent
robust crow
vagrant crescent
#

So only bad for free to play player than cause the stats isn't as high, lol XD

late coyote
#

so i just picked up astroligan and watched a quikc video and they didint mention the car symbols and names just the fatc that blue background is melee and pink is casters and the tiny icons on the top does the names of the cards and icons not matter?

faint flare
feral nebula
robust crow
#

free trial or not

faint flare
#

Just look at the boarder and the seal it gives

#

Blue boarder goes to melee

#

Purple to range

#

All you need to know

robust crow
vagrant crescent
robust crow
#

you need 3 unique icons to get the most out of divination

#

so when you reroll you're generally rerolling for a different seal

late coyote
feral nebula
faint flare
#

You get the seal icons at 50

vagrant crescent
#

I thought it was useful cause I noticed he had 2 potions.

So I was shocked to learn it wasn't useful afterall, lol XD

late coyote
# feral nebula yes correct

ah ok nice was scaed it was gonna be overly complecated but aht ezpz also any easy gear i can get on astro rn? i only have the robe and pants they gave me :d

feral nebula
#

Doing ur class quests should give you some gear, also dungeon drops

late coyote
#

i did all the class quests avalible for my lvl when i got the dancer and gunbreaker i got a full set but here i only got like 2 pices of random gray robe

faint flare
#

And basic vendor gear in ishgard or main cities

#

HW jobs only give you chest and legs and weapon

#

The pain of being the first expansion jobs

late coyote
#

wher are these vendors?

faint flare
#

Battlecraft merchants in cities

#

At the markets

fast hull
#

Markets in main cities

robust crow
#

you can server visit at any time

fast hull
#

Is the 12 dollar thing repeatable?

robust crow
#

to transfer to another server then you have to pay money

#

but just visiting can be done at any time with no cost

leaden ginkgo
#

if you have 2 characters on the same world while being on the entry sub you will only have access to your oldest character

fast hull
feral nebula
#

if any is preferred i'd go for that one

#

other than that, nope

verbal rune
#

2 retainers is the max you get for free, right?

vagrant crescent
#

So stat boost potion is useless til you reach level 80 endgame.

Is HP and MP Potion like that too? Become more useful after reaching level 80 endgame, or is it completely useless the entire time?

cunning loom
#

the latter

#

it has some super niche use in deep dungeons

languid creek
#

Is there a place I can go to augment old ironworks gear?

vagrant crescent
cunning loom
#

but most content won't ever need hp/mp potions

#

although you do have some advocates for mp potions in the circumstance where you're a char that can rez and just got rezzed

robust crow
slim drum
#

Ok so I have a question about glamour. So I understand that you put an appearance of one set onto another, but why not just wear the set you think looks better?

cunning loom
#

you can pop an mp pop to get enough mana without waiting for ticks, but again that's niche

robust crow
#

if you're BLM you can super ether for a 4th flare in your AoE rotation

#

during dungeons

slim drum
#

Also, if you are wearing a piece of armor that fits your class, and have a piece of armor that you can't wear due to your class, can you use glamour to make yourself wear that armor?

faint flare
#

No

slim drum
#

Damn

cunning loom
#

if only

vagrant crescent
#

What's a good place to get potions you think as a free to play player?

Maybe won't need it later down the line, but at the moment I doesn't have much health so I keep using whatever potions I get from the quest when my health is low

cunning loom
faint flare
#

Glamour puts a copy of a gears look onto another piece of gear

#

So you don't lose stats

cunning loom
#

i wouldn't bother spending actual gil on it

slim drum
#

Do glamours bind

leaden ginkgo
#

ok.. but where

#

there is just water

cunning loom
#

no, you can change glamour easily

slim drum
#

Ok thank you

cunning loom
#

either with glamour prisms or glamour plates

faint flare
#

It's on the island

vagrant crescent
faint flare
#

You go there later

faint flare

There's a fucking flying island

how do i get there xD

faint flare
#

You go there later for the story

cunning loom
leaden ginkgo
#

But i wanna fly );

upper wren
#

Ctrl. Space.

cunning loom
#

you don't get the final current until you finish the msq in the area

faint flare
#

You can't fly without finishing the story

upper wren
#

Oh you want current

feral nebula
#

you wont unlock flying until almost at the end of the Main quests in the map anyway

faint flare
#

In the zone

leaden ginkgo
#

dufuq you mean control space @upper wren

feral nebula
#

doesnt matteri f you get all aether currents in the map

robust crow
#

control space is the hotkey to dive

warm snow
#

It's not even a flying island

leaden ginkgo
#

What’s better for solo: bard or ninja

What’s better for raids. Bard or nin

feral nebula
robust crow
#

but the current isn't in the water

upper wren
#

Just make a friend and have them fly you around

robust crow
warm snow
#

You can go to it now if you just read your map

robust crow
#

play what you find more fun

#

if you care at all about soloing then WAR, PLD, RDM have an edge over the other classes

#

which isn't really relevant FYI

signal violet
#

Hey 👋. Is there a list of what the beast tribe vendors sell?

robust crow
#

there isn't really much content you want to solo

#

aside from like, story

warm snow
#

And well job quest instances

robust crow
#

which falls under story i guess

rustic flare
#

Anyway. The gear I just shown you all is when I used Yellow Gatherer's Scrips. And I say it's way better than what I had on previously. It may not be the best the game has to offer, but it does get the job done.

am I doing something wrong or are craftable item drop rates from mobs extremely low? I've killed like 50 Golden Fleece and gotten 4 baskets of snurble tufts

Hey all. I have the steam version of the game, and I am launching through Steam. I can also confirm in Mog Station it shows a Steam account. But, it's showing a message that my server account does not have a valid license.

Weird thing is, I just played like a week ago. Same PC, same Steam, but I uninstalled + reinstalled through steam. Any ideas?

Well, except cul

you'll never run out of mana just DPSing

arcanist is also scholar though

but scholar has tools to manage mana

New to the game here, got multiple people from different worlds and data crystals. Two from Aether (Gilgamesh and Siren) and one from Crystal (Balmung). Any advice on managing between these worlds without killing the experience?

which neir raid or content was it again that gives me currenct yot buy 530 crpytlurker weapons?

I dont want to do savge

tranquil wolf

You need 1 of each coin

#

Or buy them with sacks of nuts

frozen wind
#

where do i exchange them ?

#

or get sack of nuts

faint flare
#

Eulmore

#

At fathard

#

For the coins

#

Nuts are via shadowbringers hunts

frozen wind
#

how do i participate in a hunt and where are hunt targets?

#

and does it take a while to get enough nuts to buy weapons?

#

or is it all rng

faint flare
#

The hunt board has your daily hunts

#

And people conduct hunt trains regularly for A and S ranks. Join centurio hunts discord in #resources

frozen wind

gotcha but are nuts guanrateed to drop

leaden ginkgo

What class is easy to play on a laptop ?

frozen wind
#

and costs alot to buy

faint flare
#

Yes

#

And yes they cost alot

robust crow
#

like, a laptop still has a full keyboard

#

same as a computer

#

no class is easier or harder

#

and if you're limited to a trackpad, well good luck

warm snow
#

Yes

#

Since you can always use controller

leaden ginkgo
robust crow
#

easiest classes in the game are generally agreed upon to be RDM, DNC, and WHM

#

that's red mage, dancer, and white mage specifically

leaden ginkgo
#

Ty for the help

feral nebula
#

easiest classes imo at least as a first timer is any of the healers

#

you'll press 1 heal button on the tank every now and then

#

and just spam 1 button for dmg

robust crow
#

well the only healer you can start as is white mage (conjurer)

#

astrologian doesn't get unlocked until like 60 hours of playtime

#

and scholar requires level 30 arcanist, which is a DPS

rustic flare
#

But wait until after hitting level 60 though. Where you have to spam your heals like crazy.

#

Believe me. I know.

they were a mechanist

what about puppet coins?

Now if it were low level dungeons, ie, level 30 or below, by all means use tier 1 heals, anything above level 30, tier 1 heals are useless.

they might be levelling through bozja or dailies

but crpytlurkers is already 520

i am confused

shut panther

yes, it upgrades to 530

faint flare

It upgrades to 530

shut panther

but you need the 520 piece to begin with

frozen wind
#

okay i already have it

shut panther
#

yeah that's fine then

frozen wind
#

i have the puppet coin and manufactured coin

#

is that all I need?

warm snow
#

The 530 gear you're thinking of is called AUGMENTED Cryptlurker gear

leaden ginkgo

so i should upgrade my gear?

You need a break coin

you need the third coin as well

dang

Like always

Also dungeon drops

shut panther
frozen wind

is 520 crptlurker gear better than 520 exarch gear?

shut panther

depends on substats/class

leaden ginkgo

this is the only gear ive been getting from my msq's @warm snow

its lvl72 395

because i have the full 520 crpytlurker armour set now
