[mystic topaz]

if i am level 60 in Eureka do i need to wear the Kirin's Osode of Fending? or is my level going to be good enough?

[glossy flare]

Hard to gauge for me because I did all the steps as they came out. But I would say maybe 2 weeks for the whole thing if you really focus on it? (obviously depends on how much you play per day)

However the longest steps are one time, so your second weapon will be much faster

[unreal aspen]

does anybody have tips on how to heal dungeons on scholar? i do fine in trials/raids, but every time a tank pulls wall to will i end up desperately spamming adlo after burning all my cooldowns. whm/ast have always been fine for me, like even if a tank doesn't mitigate a lot I can generally get by with minimal gcd casting, but on scholar it just feels like I end up nearly letting the tank die every time I enter a dungeon

[patent citrus]

spamming adlo? o.O

[glossy flare]

First piece of advice: spamming adlo can be a huge waste of MP if you are overriding your own shields, especially since it's 1k MP cost

[patent citrus]

adlo doesn't stack, use physick

[unreal aspen]

adlo/physick sorry

though generally the shield is gone by the time one gcd has passed

[glossy flare]

which level are you on sch?

[patent citrus]

which dungeon?

[unreal aspen]

77

I'm fine in below 70 dungeons

but I'm having a lot of trouble in shb dungeons

like especially don mheg for some reason

[patent citrus]

is it the first pull?

[unreal aspen]

i just struggle intensely there and i'm not undergeared

[glossy flare]

Remember to use both emergency tactics and recitation to boost your heals

[unreal aspen]

yes

[glossy flare]

also excog is your friend

[unreal aspen]

yeah i use those

i use excog on cooldown too

[patent citrus]

the first pull, the tank need to know that you need to interrupt the tree casting

[unreal aspen]

yeah nobody ever does that LOL

[patent citrus]

that tank most likely doesn't know this and let it cast the damage boost

[unreal aspen]

at least in my last 5 runs

ahhh

[glossy flare]

also putting fey union on the tank during trash pulls is also a good idea

[patent citrus]

it's not your fault then, even if you are not SCH

they will probably died from it

[unreal aspen]

ahhh

makes sense actually

[patent citrus]

that tree guy cast damage boost

[unreal aspen]

bc when i ran qitana it felt pretty decent

[glossy flare]

it's the little frog people who cast that btw

but they cast it on the trees

[patent citrus]

oh yeah sorry

tell that guy to just pull 1 group at a time, clearly doesn't know what's going on

[glossy flare]

also check the gear of the tank

dohn mheg is kind of the breaking point where things get a bit rougher until people have better gear

[vestal nest]

for chocobo breeding should I breed with someone with alot of stars is that basically what to do?

[rich gazelle]

thanks!

[unreal aspen]

ok thank you! i def also forget fey union exists a lot, so using that more will probably help a lot lol

[little swift]

Whispering Dawn is super free as well

[leaden ginkgo]

Fair enough, thank you!

[proven wing]

Who's a good guide maker for savage and extreme?

[little swift]

You don't need a group @leaden ginkgo but recognize that pf will take longer for you to reach what you need

[patent citrus]

this might help 🤔

[unreal aspen]

I've always liked joonbobs videos, bc theyre very straight to the point and easy to understand

[little swift]

Joonbob, lyconadacheechee, mtqcapture, rainesama, mrhappy are all good examples that show how mechanics work

[leaden ginkgo]

Yea I'm just being realistic with myself, I don't really expect to be able to get the same stuff as those who can play many hours per day and can be part of a proper clan/guild, so it's all good, I'll aim for the best I can get as a solo/matchmaking player and deal with it! 🙂

[unreal aspen]

but afaik he generally takes a bit longer to come out with them

[little swift]

Yes because he waits until pf strats have settled

And he animates it all, not just game footage

[limpid glacier]

how do you shorten target hp bar?

[unreal aspen]

tbh even the mtqcapture seems to not have a super positive rep from what I've seen, her videos have actually been really useful for me in early prog. not so much in regards to strats, but they've definitely helped me understand how mechs work more

though the strats part is mostly bc I raid with a static, so we don't use the standard pf strats a lot

[stray plover]

Can someone please explain to me what do I need to buy cuz am kinda lost. If I purchase endwalker do I get shadowbringers/all the expansions with it and the only other thing I need to get is the base game ?

[little swift]

The thing about mizzteqs guides is that her groups strats tend not to be the best possible solution

So you really should only use it to see how some mechanics work

[unreal aspen]

purchasing endwalker wont give you access to shb until it releases, bc it's a preorder

[runic cairn]

preordering endwalker only allows you to play the previous expansions once endwalker releases

[unreal aspen]

so if you want access to shb now, then you'd want to buy shadowbringers (all other expacs are bundled in I think)

but if you'

oops pressed enter. if you're fine waiting until endwalker releases, it will save you money, since you won't have to buy it after already buying shb

[fossil echo]

ok i have a weird question, when you use modifiers like ctrl for keybinds, you can still move freely but if i use shift or alt, it makes my character stop moving. can i change that?

[little swift]

Change the keybinds alt s is default bound to /say

So it opens your chat

[heavy wadi]

Mizzteq is good for dungeon content, normal raids, trials and alliance raids but I wouldn't use her vids for high end content, go to happy or text guides instead.

[dry cairn]

how do you start an unsynced extreme?

[tropic flame]

duty finder(U) -> settings (cog button on the top left)

then press undersized party

[dry cairn]

i see. so does it just remove a dps or something?

[tropic flame]

you can just go in as 1 person

or less than 8

[dry cairn]

i don't think a dps could go in by themselves, but minus a dps wouldn't be so bad.

[unreal aspen]

it depends on the fight tbh

[tropic flame]

i mean you could

[unreal aspen]

arr fights you can definitely unsync as a dps in lvl 80 gear pretty easily

for heavensward, you can unsync some trials, but if you don't know the mechs it'll be pretty difficult on dps

[stray plover]

when does your acc stop bein eligible for free trial ? I would like to get endwalker for the 30% exp boost without the base game. Would I be able to still play without buying game time ? (I have dragoon at 51 got bored tryin out ninja atm so it will take a while till I get to 60)

[jade quartz]

When you register any purchased copy of the game to your account.

As far as I'm aware you can't register Endwalker on a free trial account, so what you're trying to do isn't possible

[hot eagle]

cant use the endwalker/preorder codes before you own the baste/starter game

[dry cairn]

i understand now. i'm only lvl 63 with shire gear. I was just trying to find a way to farm the mounts in a easier way.

[patent citrus]

continue msq and job quests 😂

till lv 70 at least

[stray plover]

So no xp bonus when I acually need it, sadge :/ thx guys

[patent citrus]

but tank are better for soloing content, especially PLD

afaik

[dry cairn]

You saying don't even attempt it until 70?

[patent citrus]

not sure if you can as lv 60 since I never tried it

but since you are looking for an easier and might be faster way

just continue till you are max'd level and decently geared before attempting one

[spring lintel]

when i press and hold x other people's names vanish - can i make it a toggle so that when i press x their names vanish and when i press it again they show up?

[verbal rune]

The earrings exp boost doesn't count in deep dungeon, right?

[tropic flame]

it does

[verbal rune]

So when it says 100% it accounts for the exp boosts?

[hot eagle]

only works on mob exp like in dungeons/overworld

[verbal rune]

Oh, gotcha

[fresh viper]

eh, what's the target time for the first requirement?

oh nvm, im like 50s away apparently

not sure how im gonna clear it faster lmao

[rich gazelle]

i'm leveling up summoner for the sake of role quests in ShB. initially i thought i can just level them to 70 and do the quests, turns out the final quest of each role requires level 80. what's the best way to level up nowadays? my SMN is currently at level 64. just repeat dungeons?

[solid fog]

To boost someone from 1-20 whats the best place to get max exp from mobs?

[tropic flame]

do your hunting log

[solid fog]

Nah i want boost

[tropic flame]

boost?

i mean

you can kill mobs higher level than you ig

tag the mob and get someone higher level to one shot it

[solid fog]

You go to a high level map and aggro the mob and someone kills it for you

[tropic flame]

it doesnt work if the mob level is too high

[hard aurora]

this is hardly an efficient method to levelling a friend

and there is no feasible method of boosting

[tropic flame]

yeah just do your hunting log

and do potd

[hard aurora]

the only thing available is quite literally, yes, hunting logs, challenge logs, potd, and of course your dungeons and daily roulettes

[solid fog]

Yeah i know the method just whats the best place , cuz for blue mage kholusia beach was the best cuz the mobs were level 70 but when i went to the tempest where th mobs were level 79 they yielded less exp than the level 70 mobs

[tropic flame]

thats onnly for blu

[hard aurora]

attempting to circumvent this via killing higher level mobs, or at least letting the lower level guy kill a higher level mob

does not work

and yes

[tropic flame]

it doesnt work for normal classes

[hard aurora]

this is only for blue mage, as doughnuts said

[ashen wasp]

for novus relic u only need 75 alexandrite right?

[hard aurora]

blue mage is different

@ashen wasp iirc yes

[zenith halo]

?

[solid fog]

ive done this method and its way faster than hunting logs...

[tropic flame]

because blu doesnt have levelling roulettes so thats why

[ashen wasp]

thanks

[zenith halo]

this is my gear

[hard aurora]

@zenith halo that is your stats

not your ilevel

[tropic flame]

ilvl is in your character box thingy

[zenith halo]

what do i do to get in?

[tropic flame]

what floor are yo utrying to get into?

if its 51-60 it may be an issue of your aetherpool gears and weapon level

[tropic flame]

you'll need to grind the lower levels

yes

you need to do the lower floors

[silent echo]

https://www.finalfantasyxiv.com/playersdownload/na/ is this legit download link?

[tropic flame]

grind up your aetherpool level to get to floors 51-60

the levels come from silver chesrs

[opal swan]

If i use the matte version of my resistance weapon do i lose the dye i used on it?

[zenith halo]

Srry im super confused rn. Idk how to do any of that xD

[tropic flame]

this

[zenith halo]

my sam is lvl 56 rn

[tropic flame]

your job level does not matter in POTD

[zenith halo]

Do i start all over again?

[tropic flame]

yes you'll need to grind from floor 1

[zenith halo]

oh

rip

[tropic flame]

can you start from your floor 30 save?

or does it say you dont meet the req

[zenith halo]

nope

is says this

[tropic flame]

yeah then you need to open a new save and start from floor 1

open silver chests for aetherpool levels

[zenith halo]

Ah ok

[tropic flame]

welcome to potd

[zenith halo]

rip

[hoary crypt]

Why do POTD?

[tropic flame]

levelling

[marble wave]

is there a quicker way to join a trial from the main quest line?

[tropic flame]

its an alternative to spaming dungeons

[hard aurora]

you queue harder @marble wave xd

[tropic flame]

you can make a PF for it if you're not on free trial

[zenith halo]

lvling SAM

[tropic flame]

this is especially encouraged if you're queueing for ex trials

for normal/hard ones, just wait in DF

[marble wave]

what happens if the normal ones (from the questline) take more than 30minutes through the DF?

is it recommended to try PF for a normal one?

[tropic flame]

i mean sure, but you also need to consider what time it is in your server atm

it may be the reason why its taking so long

[barren granite]

my hotbar focus changed to hotbar 2, is there a way to change it back to hotbar 1 ?

[tropic flame]

and also change your DF settings to all the languages

its gonna help with queue times

[tropic flame]

did you press on the side arrows?

[barren granite]

i do not have those displayed

[tropic flame]

oh wait you're on console

are you?

[boreal storm]

There is a button combination that forces something to be hotbar 1 apparently

[barren granite]

no PC, so i used to have hotbar 1 set to my number line keys, now when i press my numbers, they do hotbar 2

like the little white dots are on hotbar 2 now

upper left corner has the little white dots next to numbers

i assume that means it the hotkey focus

[boreal storm]

Show your hotbars

[barren granite]

k 1 mn takine SS

bottom row is hotbar 1 and used to be my focus

[boreal storm]

Shift + number is hotbar 2 stuff

[tropic flame]

eye of the dragon on 1

[barren granite]

no still activates hotbar 2

blood os dragon you mean ?

[tropic flame]

yeah im stupid

[barren granite]

ya i must of hit something thst switched it to hotbar 2 focus

[boreal storm]

Is caps lock on? Because shift keys and all

I don’t know if that actually affects it

Because I use crtl and alt

[tropic flame]

nah

[barren granite]

NO, I THINK IT HAS SOMETHING TO DO WITH THOSE LITTLE WHITE DOTS ON UPPER LEFT ?

oops caps lol

[boreal storm]

What white dots that’s an arrow pointing up

Meaning shift

[barren granite]

oh they look like dots

ill figure it out, thanks

hmm maybe was the caps, dam its working now

weird

[oak ice]

Elusive is on control, Geirskogul is on shift

[leaden ginkgo]

How do I unlock Bozja?

[barren granite]

correct

[boreal storm]

Do return to ivalice, bozja unlock

[barren granite]

but earlier blood of Dragon was shift

[leaden ginkgo]

Cheers

[barren granite]

was wired

wierd

weird .. morning !

[opal swan]

To augment my cryptlurker belt, do i buy twine or dusting 🤔

[faint flare]

Dusting

[random spoke]

Do you guys know if I’m able to use my wolf tokens on shadowbringer or stormblood stuff even though I’m only in ARR currently ?

[warm snow]

Yes

[dapper oyster]

Is it true that we have ffxiv sale atm?
If yes do you guys have the link for complete non collector eu version?

[lethal leaf]

How do I unlock the rest of these?

[nocturne wyvern]

Pretty sure it changes daily.

It was done to condense people to limit queues.

[lethal leaf]

Ah well I was in a group with my friends but they couldn’t Q in until I left the party

[boreal storm]

Those feast options are for parties

[nocturne wyvern]

Oh feast. Derp. That’s the team ranked pvp.

[boreal storm]

Astralogos is shut down because unfair advantages

[lethal leaf]

Yeah I tried to Q with friends but while I was in the party it kept getting denied

Idk if it’s because I haven’t met MSQ requirements or haven’t done a certain quest?

[boreal storm]

Ranked Feast needs a 4 person team right?

[nocturne wyvern]

Yeah.

Plus I think it must have required roles.

[lethal leaf]

So it may just be better to Q in for one of the top ones

With randoms

[tranquil plinth]

any one looking to buy a shadowbringer dlc key ? (for pc mog station only) i fucked up

[tidal yarrow]

why would I want to donate at the doman enclave after having it max expanded? (i got the chest piece)

[cobalt burrow]

meows

[tidal yarrow]

what

[blazing oriole]

meow meow

[tranquil plinth]

meow is my trigger

[umbral skiff]

Hey! Cross save question: I assume I firstly need to buy The base game on my free trial platform, but then afterwards how do I make it so that I can also play on PS4? And also, how do expansions work? Thank you in advance!

[nocturne wyvern]

You have to buy the game again if you want to play on PS4.

Yes, really.

[umbral skiff]

Yeah, that makes sense, but when buying on PS4 do you get a mogstation key or how does that work exactly?

[nocturne wyvern]

Far as I know it’s all done through the PlayStation store. Then when you boot up the game on console it brings up a launcher.

Registers the game to your console/account iirc.

As for the expansions what do you mean? Can you clarify the question?

[umbral skiff]

Oh yeah sure, if I buy ShB on PC, Can I still access my account on PS4 (obviously, without The ShB content)

Or vice versa

[nocturne wyvern]

That I don’t know, sorry.

[umbral skiff]

Ah, gotcha!

Thank you for The Help anyway!

[hot eagle]

iirc should work so long you didnt logout in a shb/stornblood area or/and with a shb/stormblood job,since starter is only arr/hw

[umbral skiff]

Oooo, OK ty

[warped nest]

That

[umbral skiff]

Another question though, if I buy base game on PS4 and PC, do i Now have 60 free days or still 30

[warped nest]

Stormblood area and job are included in this restriction btw

As Stormblood is part of Shadowbringers

[hot eagle]

you get 30 days sub for each starter license you register on your account so 30 for your pc licence and another 30 from the ps4 one

could theoretically also get another 30 days if you add a mac license

[gusty pier]

I want to do POTD solo runs, what are the best potions to craft and use there?

[hot eagle]

https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Sustaining_Potion try to get these for your solo runs

[warped nest]

Just take note that you should buy Starter Edition on different platform only if you want to play there

[cobalt burrow]

waka waka waka waka

[gusty pier]

Yeah need to farm the shards for it, but in the meanwhile I will use other potions aswell. But what other potions should I use?

[warped nest]

Otherwise, just pay for subscription

[hot eagle]

max-potion high-quality they should be rly cheap on mb, and mch/rdm are good jobs for doin it solo

[gusty pier]

I see.. will check it on MB since universalis website is having problems atm and cant check cross worlds prices xd

[dry cairn]

can you lfg in this discord, or is there a place to?

[nocturne wyvern]

There is a recruitment section but I don’t know how effective it will be.

[nocturne wyvern]

You didn’t specify what you were looking for.

oh. groups for extremes. the arr ones.

excited to try out the game after years of not

any tips for a returning lv40 player?

[nocturne wyvern]

Check all your abilities.

[nocturne wyvern]

Oh people use the in game party finder for that.

[sour nymph]

helo

i got question

[dry cairn]

ah okay.

[sour nymph]

i want to buy gathering gear from rowena trader in girdania but i dont have the currency for it. where do i get

[nocturne wyvern]

Also since it’s really old content people go in at 80 and blow it up in moments.

[young blade]

can someone help me out real quick? problems with purchasing

[dry cairn]

that makes sense.

[nocturne wyvern]

So that’s scrip gear. Scrips require crafting collectables and turning them in.

There’s an npc called a collectable appraiser that tells you what you need to turn in.

[sour nymph]

wait

i only hav gardening leveled up. how do i earn it than

[nocturne wyvern]

Oh gathering gear. Sorry.

That requires gathering collectables and turning them in for scrips.

[sour nymph]

wher

[zinc orbit]

Error!

No tag named collectables exists, Kupo!

[nocturne wyvern]

The appraiser tells you what you need to turn in.

[sour nymph]

yes but where is the apraiser

[nocturne wyvern]

Should be nearby.

The vendor.

[nocturne wyvern]

Somewhere around here.

[young blade]

I was playing the free trial until now, on steam btw, I just bought the complete edition, BUT didn't do it through mogstation. Am I fucked-?

[nocturne wyvern]

They are separate.

[tame rivet]

im working on a transmog and idk how to get some of the peices i want, any websites i can use?

[nocturne wyvern]

[sour nymph]

wait where is that

[warped nest]

@young blade did you buy it from Steam or?

[sour nymph]

is that girdania ?

[young blade]

yeah I did

[nocturne wyvern]

Old gridania.

[young blade]

no offparty websites this time

[nocturne wyvern]

https://ffxiv.eorzeacollection.com

[sour nymph]

before the marketboard right ?

[warped nest]

Go to your FFXIV page in your steam library, look at the right side for DLC key or something

Click that, punch those into your mogstation

[nocturne wyvern]

I don’t have old gridania memorized. I only found that map.

[sour nymph]

there is one dude but if i click it she says rowena has reputation to lose and wont trade me. like why

[warped nest]

Missing a quest in Mor Dhona

[sour nymph]

ok

[warped nest]

Probably

[sour nymph]

i go there

i just hit lvl 50 maybe thats wahy

[nocturne wyvern]

Oh! You didn’t have collectables unlocked yet.

That’s why.

Collectables are unlocked once you reach Ishgard and do a side quest.

[sour nymph]

oh realy?

[nocturne wyvern]

They also have some msq requirements.

[sour nymph]

Sad

[nocturne wyvern]

Yeah.

Sorry. I didn’t realize you hadn’t gotten that far yet.

[warped nest]

I thought it is in Mor Dhona?

[sour nymph]

i did this

[nocturne wyvern]

Not according to the guide I found.

[sour nymph]

it says i can turn in tools

[nocturne wyvern]

Unless it’s out of date. 🤷🏻‍♂️

[sour nymph]

but not specifiyng what

in mor dona

[young blade]

dont have that Icon I think, I now have both the free trial on my library as well as a new just "ffxiv online"

[nocturne wyvern]

This is what the guide I found says.

[warped nest]

Fair

@young blade ffxiv online

Right side should have a DLC key or key thingy

Written in text

Clicking it should display you your key

[young blade]

can i dm you a screenshot?

[warped nest]

Which you can use to register your starter Edition in mogstation

Just put it here

The UI

Not the key

[sour nymph]

i found someone

who will sell me green gear for high quality mateirals

[nocturne wyvern]

That’s old obsolete gear.

Ignore it.

[young blade]

there u go

[sour nymph]

should i not get the rowena 55 gear and just keep level for higher levels gear ?

[warped nest]

@young blade both, first one is base game

[nocturne wyvern]

If you try and level gathering in non-hw and beyond areas it will take forever.

Just ignore it for now and do your msq.

[young blade]

which one do I copy I have 2

[sour nymph]

i just did the dark world crystal tower thing because i couldnt accept next msq

[regal pawn]

Yeah, it's recommended to wait for the Firmament unlock

[regal pawn]

Both
Put them into mogstation

[warped nest]

Do the first one first

[boreal storm]

Base before dlc

[nocturne wyvern]

That’s fine. Just take care of that and keep going. Msq is priority besides class quests and job quests.

[warped nest]

Starter, then Shadowbringers

[onyx kiln]

what is the currently highest item level one can have?

[twilit arch]

530

[nocturne wyvern]

530 armor. 535 weapon.

[warped nest]

535 weapon, 530 armors and accessories

[onyx kiln]

what armour set gives that?

[nocturne wyvern]

Augmented crypt and savage gear.

[warped nest]

Relic weapon and Savage weapon is 535

[nocturne wyvern]

Edenmorn specifically.

Augmented crypt weapon is 530

[onyx kiln]

okay, thought it was the latest gear set, that one you get in Bozja

[sour nymph]

i got more question

[nocturne wyvern]

Nah. They’d never put bis gear in something like that.

[nocturne wyvern]

Go on.

[young blade]

ty you god damn hero

unnecessarily confusing buying method

[warped nest]

Enjoy the game and have fun

[queen gulch]

is there a reason why people skip entire rooms in deep dungeons?

i dont really understand

[warped nest]

@queen gulch you have killed enough enemies to unlock the teleporter

[twilit arch]

most people are there to just get exp, if they don't need chests then they only care about killing the required amount to open the portal to the next room

[sour nymph]

i did raid when i was 50 before tower and it was les than half what i heard it should be

[onyx kiln]

what are the odds you will need a full augmented set of crystarium gear for the first dungeon in EW? remember i had to get a almost full scaevan gear set for each job for holmeister switch

[buoyant adder]

you dont really gain much from some rooms, most of the time you want to be faster in getting to the next floor

[twilit arch]

so no reason to do every single room

[sour nymph]

how do i unlock rest of it

[queen gulch]

but dont people do this for those sacks?

dont you have more chances of finding those if you do all the rooms

[buoyant adder]

lol, i didnt know thats what its called in german

[sour nymph]

bahamut fingers

and wings

[warped nest]

@onyx kiln for reference, Endwalker lvl 83 dungeon will drop i530 as well

Different series, but 530

unless you have the pomander for the hoard up then sure go searching for it, but trying to find the hoard w/o pomander is going to be time consuming. Plus the lower floor stuff isn't that great so its not as big a priority for someone who's already ran potd ad nauseum

[nocturne wyvern]

To unlock the next set you have to clear 5.

[leaden ginkgo]

!faq black_mage

[boreal storm]

Dude

[nocturne wyvern]

For the set after that you have to clear 9.

[twilit arch]

@leaden ginkgo its !faq blmleveling and next time please use #kupo-bot-spam or just ask what the command is

[warped nest]

@young blade not sure

[buoyant adder]

did you clear the first coil yet?

[twilit arch]

Do not spam random commands here

[sour nymph]

but i have talked to alisai in some place and i unlocked the raid but after i have done all 5 i dont have the others

[leaden ginkgo]

thanks

[warped nest]

Commands are used here to ask or answer questions

[sour nymph]

or i dont know where to unlock rest

[nocturne wyvern]

Once you clear the fifth there’s a side quest that unlocks to get the rest.

[leaden ginkgo]

Would anyone like to come with me and level up gladiator. It’s level 3 :3

[nocturne wyvern]

Urianger.

[warped nest]

Do your

You have to go back to him.

[leaden ginkgo]

Done

[sour nymph]

oh i was in mor dona al time

[nocturne wyvern]

Uri can help you.

[warped nest]

Done as "OK, imma do that" or "I have finished my "

?

[sour nymph]

how to pronounce la noscea

[leaden ginkgo]

I finished msq. Did everyone including shadowbringers for whitemage

[nocturne wyvern]

Luh Noe-see-uh

why should i start with blizzard 3 on my single target rotation it doesn't do much dmg

[drifting burrow]

do all pvp duties reward wolf's marks?

[warped nest]

@leaden ginkgo faster cast time

[sour nymph]

i heard som said lah noshuh

[nocturne wyvern]

It gives you the most mp going in to your fire phase also.

[jade quartz]

It’s La NO-sha

[twilit arch]

should have full mp if you're starting your rotation on a boss fight

[boreal storm]

La no-sea-ah

[leaden ginkgo]

aah thanks

[jade quartz]

It’s pronounced in VA and has Japanese kana which are pronounced phonetically

[nocturne wyvern]

If you open with fire 3 it will cost more mp in your fire phase than casting B3 first and then F3.

[twilit arch]

main reason is what lc said, fire 3 will be faster cast if you are in blizzard stance first

[jade quartz]

No, NO-sha

[leaden ginkgo]

also for AoE isn't it better to spam fire 2 since the damage stacks

[sour nymph]

i said la noskeea but

heard like 4 dif versions

sometimes i make up name cus i dont know how to pronounce

[slate spindle]

BLM AoE very much depends on what level you are

[queen gulch]

but why do you want to be faster though? dont people do these for the sacks you get?

[nocturne wyvern]

Just say it however you want. Call it The Nose.

[leaden ginkgo]

I'm 49

[warped nest]

You need to build up your Astral Fire buff first

B3 into F3 give you Astral Fire 3

[slate spindle]

Cast Thunder 2 and keep the DoTs up, spam freeze until you hit 50

[buoyant adder]

they want to lvl faster, and most of the time you dont need all the items to clear the floors

[warped nest]

So you are basically on full power on the get on

[slate spindle]

Then look at AoE from https://www.akhmorning.com/jobs/blm/guide/levelling-up/#lv-50-59 onwards

[warped nest]

Instead of casting F2 thrice to get to Astral Fire 3

[nocturne wyvern]

People run potd for fast exp. Not loot.

[jade quartz]

ラノシア ranoshia

[queen gulch]

for the weapons you get there? or

[leaden ginkgo]

looks complicated

[buoyant adder]

pure exp nothing else matters in potd

[nocturne wyvern]

Nah they just want the exp you get at the end.

[buoyant adder]

most use it to lvl alt dd's

[queen gulch]

oh

[drifting burrow]

do "matches" refer to the 1v1/pvp area, not the duty queues?

[slate spindle]

It changes so much because of new spells and traits that affect things later

[nocturne wyvern]

Queues.

[drifting burrow]

ah..

[nocturne wyvern]

Wolves den is the small scale team pvp.

[drifting burrow]

ooh

[nocturne wyvern]

It also shares a name with the pvp zone so I get how it can be confusing.

[jade quartz]

Feast.

[hoary crypt]

Ok I asked this last night, then fell asleep. The quests in seventh heaven, are they required

[jade quartz]

The mode used to just be called the wolves’ den

[nocturne wyvern]

Required for what?

[jade quartz]

The blue quests ? They’re mostly optional dungeons.

[sour nymph]

i got story question

maybe not apropriate for eveyrone

spoilers maby

[jade quartz]

Use spoiler tags

[sour nymph]

how

[hoary crypt]

Ok, are they worth doing

[warped nest]

You can do this ||spoiler||

[nocturne wyvern]

Post it in the lore spoilers channel.

That’s as good a place as any.

[warped nest]

Two on the front, two on the back

[jade quartz]

Post it here but use spoiler tags

[sour nymph]

[tulip zephyr]

are there no hand/land quests past 70?

[twilit arch]

the facet quests

[nocturne wyvern]

They’re in the crystarium.

[warped nest]

They are replaced with facet quests in crystarium

[sour nymph]

||I finished the Crystal Tower. Catboi said he wants to close tower cus his blood may thin and he cant control it in time. He said he will sleep like Xande did. Does time freeze in there? How he survive in tower? Is it explained?||

[warped nest]

Kinda like role quest, but for doh/l

[tulip zephyr]

oh ok, i've just arrived there and wondered where the crafting be

ty

[jade quartz]

||He goes into stasis, like Xande and the rest of the tower’s inhabitants were before the Calamity woke them up.||

[warped nest]

North of the main aetheryte, upper floor

[jade quartz]

That’s not later expansions

[sour nymph]

||Ok cool. thank much||

[nocturne wyvern]

It gets explained.

[jade quartz]

It has already been explained

[nocturne wyvern]

Though it’s not one set of quests for each crafter.

[jade quartz]

By the point they are up to.

[nocturne wyvern]

It’s kind of bundled.

[sharp goblet]

Hey there

I'm having issues with subscription - is this the right channel?

[jade quartz]

Yep

[nocturne wyvern]

Feel free to ask, if we can answer we will.

[buoyant adder]

always here to answer

[sharp goblet]

So I've dealt with this last year but now I don't remember how...
No matter which browser I use, cookies cleaned etc.
Mogstation only offers me to pay using Steam Wallet 😦

I'm trying to use a credit card... any ideas?

[jade quartz]

That should only be the case if you select “steam payment”

Instead select “add game time”

[sharp goblet]

Ohhhh 😮
I didn't try that

[jade quartz]

Or is it “add subscription”

It’s the upper option anyway

[sharp goblet]

I remembered something about using a different browser,
or the international vs Japanese mogstation...

I'll try that now 😄 thank you
got really frustrated there for a minute lol
I did click "renew here" so

Oh there is is

thank you very much 🙂

[onyx kiln]

do you have to pay to change your characters name?

[nocturne wyvern]

Yes.

[vague agate]

Hellohello is there a way for me to find a group to speed level 71 to 80?

As in I don't know where to look

[nocturne wyvern]

Here? Probably not.

[vague agate]

Should I use the in-game group finder?

[buoyant adder]

yea

[vague agate]

Alright, thanks!

[nocturne wyvern]

Or do your msq and unlock the 71/73/75/77/79 dungeons.

That’s my preferred method of leveling.

[buoyant adder]

you should always do msq

best way to lvl

[onyx kiln]

how much is it for a name change?

[vague agate]

Yeah did my MSQ to 79 but not feelin like tanking at all

So swapped to dps and currently lvl 71 :/

[buoyant adder]

well you can always run dungeons on your lvl

they do give decent exp

[vague agate]

Yeah, just wanted to form a party to power level is all

[hot eagle]

£5.75/€7.00/10usd

[buoyant adder]

yea, you should use the party finder for that

maybe someone wants to do the same

[onyx kiln]

ouch, all i want is change 1 letter in my name

[nocturne wyvern]

Most people don’t do that.

You’d be better off just queueing the dungeons.

[warm snow]

Yeah no

Overworld mobs give deliberately GARBAGE exp

[boreal storm]

Only BLUs can do that

[vague agate]

I would assume cause most people goo to bozja right?

[twilit arch]

they're not talking about powerleveling thru open world

they are talking about powerleveling thru dungeons

[buoyant adder]

thats true, most people do that with friends not with randoms or just straigt up do it solo

[warm snow]

Most people don't do that for dungeons, I mean you can, but if you make a party finder for it you likely won't get anyone

[vague agate]

Yeah figured, as much just wasn't sure.

[twilit arch]

You could try putting up a pf and see if people join, but its not much of a thing outside of expac launch tbh

[buoyant adder]

i would help, but we cant jump Data centers

[vague agate]

I appreciate the thought ♥

[gusty island]

if i have a recipe in my crafting log, but am one or two levels below it... i should NOT be able to craft it, right?
but im pretty sure i did just that with mythril ingots.

am i being stupid or are levels meaningless

[vague agate]

I can just wait for my group to get on and we can powerlevel, they're also leveling alts, just figured I can get a headstart

[warm snow]

Levels lock sections of your log but if its there you can probably craft it

[twilit arch]

levels aren't quite meaningless

[mighty robin]

they unlock in ranges

[twilit arch]

but if you can see it in your book, you can probably craft it

[warm snow]

Hitting hq is probably another matter tho

[gusty island]

i remember i ran into the opposite thing in the past where i had the recipe in the log but was unable to craft it due to insufficient level

[warm snow]

It won't be insufficient level

[boreal storm]

You can craft 5 lvls above your current

[warm snow]

It'll be insufficient craftmanship/control

[mighty robin]

which is a gear issue

the levels are also there to limit what gear you can equip

[gusty island]

so you need a minimum control/craftsmanship stat to even get into the crafting minigame, basically?

or can you just not finish it

[nocturne wyvern]

Higher level recipes are a little tougher to finish yeah. But it shouldn’t be impossible.

[dim quarry]

wwis there a hotkey to press OK?

[fickle plume]

When an enemy is casting an attack with an area mark, in order to dodge the damage you gotta move out of the area mark before it disappears and the cast finishes right?
Does this also apply for mitigation effects, or is mitigation taken into account when the actual damage is inflicted?

[nocturne wyvern]

Not if your gear is reasonably up to date.

[gusty island]

weird. i seem to recall it straight up blocked me from even trying

[mighty robin]

i believe you just cant start it without the stats. but getting the stats is really easy

[nocturne wyvern]

I believe it snapshots when the cast finishes.

[gusty island]

maybe im just misremembering. memory is pretty fickle

[mighty robin]

confirm/cancel in keybinds
and arrows i think?

[wintry trellis]

Is there an equivalent of cunning craftsman tea for gatherers ?

[stray plover]

Could you guys give me some job recommendations? Am looking for complex DPS, something that's considered hard to execute, reactive rotacion / high APM would be a also a big +. Thanks ^^.

[nocturne wyvern]

Dragoon or Mnk I’d say.

[twilit arch]

nope, just food

[nocturne wyvern]

Constant movement and adjustment to nail your positional attacks correctly.

[last sapphire]

DPS, black mage, ninja

machinist

[wintry trellis]

ty fren

[last sapphire]

summoner also

[nocturne wyvern]

Mnk is also fast so it has the high apm you want.

[lone bobcat]

For savage/ultimate raids, is it more common to have 2 melee 2 ranged/caster or 1 melee 3 ranged/caster

[umbral skiff]

Does The steam version have access to cross save with ps4? Or only The SE Version?

[twilit arch]

savage, its generally 1 ranged/1caster/1melee with 4 slot being free to be w/e the group wants/needs

[twilit arch]

yes, steam/SE fill in the pc slot

you owning on steam for pc doesn't affect whether you can play on ps4 on that acct

[umbral skiff]

Yeah, ty

The Last sentence just made me raise my eyebrows

[mighty robin]

it's still the windows version, just has to be started through steam. i get the ps4/5 licence option too

[twilit arch]

yeah you can only use free trial on one platform

you can't double dip as a trial user

[lone bobcat]

So if my wife and I are both playing melee will it make it harder for us to make it into groups doing savage?

[umbral skiff]

Alright, gotcha!

[twilit arch]

not necessarily

[faint flare]

No

The 4th dps can be whatever people want

1 melee, 1 physical range and 1 caster... The 4th is whatever you want

[last sapphire]

I'm level 21 weaver atm. What should I be crafting for Ishgardian restoration? I can make grade 4 stuff. Does it make a difference what grade?

[faint flare]

You physically can't get the mats for old grades

They're gone

[last sapphire]

ah ok

[faint flare]

You can only get mats for grade 4 stuff

(and old expert receipes for achievements)

[last sapphire]

What about the other stuff from outside the diadem, do I need to buy that from the market or is there a vendor in the firmament?

[faint flare]

Gather it yourself

Or market board

[nocturne wyvern]

It shouldn’t but different groups have different loadouts. My static has two melee two ranged, my friend’s static is one melee three ranged.

[last sapphire]

what are the fetes also?

[regal pawn]

FATEs in the firmament

[faint flare]

Fates for crafters and gatherers

[regal pawn]

you get little boxes when you complete them and they give you rewards

[last sapphire]

ah ok

[faint flare]

And a chunk of Xp and scrips

[regal pawn]

If they're up, might as well do them
You can get some expensive stuff from it

[halcyon wigeon]

my gf is a gladiator tank, what would be a good class for me to go? i don't mind healing or dps just want to destroy & have a good time

[nocturne wyvern]

Anything besides marauder should be fine.

[faint flare]

Whatever you want that's not also a tank

[nocturne wyvern]

(And later don’t do drk or gnb either)

Though I’d probably say melee. Would make life easier when you need to do a positional and the boss is in the wrong spot. Then rather than typing it you just yell at her across the room to move it. XD

[halcyon wigeon]

Haha good point

I'm thinking of Lancer

[regal pawn]

mmmm

Edgy Spears

Fun to play
you get to jump in combat

[buoyant adder]

edgy backflip too

[regal pawn]

Yeah

Edgy backflip off the cliff

[buoyant adder]

totally my style

[nocturne wyvern]

And the best thing of all, animation lock

[faint flare]

Ultimately it doesn't matter

[regal pawn]

Pick whatever you think is cool and isn't a tank

And you're golden

[halcyon wigeon]

Yeah lancer looks so cool

It's either that, or Bard

Samurai & Red Mage cool but I think they come later on?

[nocturne wyvern]

Can’t get until 50.

[buoyant adder]

lvl 50

[nocturne wyvern]

Unless you buy a boost which bypasses it. But I don’t recommend that first time through.

[cobalt burrow]

im only like lv 19, is there any point taking up weaving etc?

[fringe bone]

anyone know when the ff15 colab might be returning?

[faint flare]

[twilit arch]

check the pins for the schedule

[nocturne wyvern]

I would say avoid crafting for a while.

[cobalt burrow]

ok ty

[nocturne wyvern]

Crafting and gathering without flying is kind of a pain.

Summer event and ARR anniversary.

[fringe bone]

anything cool to lookout for during these or ?

[nocturne wyvern]

It’s always different.

[faint flare]

Mount for moonfire this year

[fringe bone]

ah cool

[nocturne wyvern]

They usually announce the rewards ahead of time. This year the summer event reward is a polar bear mount.

[river oasis]

is random queue find to finish potd 21 to 50?

[nocturne wyvern]

That’s the most common way to do it.

[river oasis]

what about 51-60

heard the dd stage continues tomb tara

[twilit arch]

51-60 is the most common run sets of floors

since once you clear floor 50, you unlock the checkpoint to start at 51

[nocturne wyvern]

Premades are only required for floor 101+ and beyond. But if you’re running it to just level you’ll just be spamming 51-100

[twilit arch]

realistically won't be going past 60 unless you wanna unlock the challenge floors

[river oasis]

i just wanna follow the story

[twilit arch]

The story for tam tara hard only requires you to clear floor 50

and then you can pick up the "final" quest for it

[river oasis]

ah ok

guess queuing as healer help in climbing

[jade quartz]

The story of PotD itself continues to floor 100 before wrapping up, though

[river oasis]

aight thanks for the answers

o

must get all lore

[jade quartz]

But the part that’s directly related to Edda and the Tam Tara story finishes at 50

[eternal lance]

What levels are the mobs in potd? I haven't done it just wondering

[twilit arch]

1-60

depending on the set of floors you do

[jade quartz]

PotD has a separate leveling system where you start off as a level 1 version of your job but quickly level up over the course of the floors

[drifting burrow]

hi, i boost pld but i can't seem to find the level 60 job gear... though the npc has the 50 and 70 gear; how can i fix this? (creed set)

[jade quartz]

The 60 gear is bought in Foundation with Centurio Seals which are hunt currency

[leaden ginkgo]

Best place to help lvl my friend's BLU from 65-70?

And which mobs specifically?

[twilit arch]

kholusia beach/amh araeng where there are lvl 70 mobs

[leaden ginkgo]

Cheers!

is running Delubrum better than Dalriada. for Raw Emotion

compare the time clear

[faint flare]

15min speedruns for 2

• artifacts

[nocturne wyvern]

Depends on the group.

[leaden ginkgo]

random

[nocturne wyvern]

I’ve gotten faster raw emotions spamming hells lid.

[leaden ginkgo]

what is that

the dungeon

[nocturne wyvern]

easy level 70 dungeon.

Raw emotions are available from 70 dungeons also.

[leaden ginkgo]

can i get boh artifacts and raw emotion while running delubrum

[faint flare]

Yes

As I said

[leaden ginkgo]

Thanks

[faint flare]

Do look for speedruns in party finder

Makes it significantly faster

15mins vs 1 hour runs

[finite cedar]

So what’s the deal with hairstyles on viera? Are the base ones the only usable ones or do any of the unlockable ones work?

[twilit arch]

currently none of the unlockable hairstyles work on them

[finite cedar]

:/

[twilit arch]

they only have access to their racial hairstyles

but with endwalker that appears to be changing

[finite cedar]

Good

[twilit arch]

yoshi-p specifically mentioned lightning's hair in the LL, and they showed off a picture with a viera with the ponytail hairstyle

[finite cedar]

So with endwalker we will be able to use them or just the new ones that will be added

?

[wintry chasm]

Sorry just really quick, did they say that's coming in 6.0 specifically?

[finite cedar]

Same deal with hats

[faint flare]

They said they're reworking how they do the heads to allow hair and stuff

[finite cedar]

finally

[uneven dune]

The code in this game must be some real spaghetti

[warped depot]

How does this location effect works? I know how >, < works but i still confuse about how the effect works so if my gathering stats is higher than 221, The effect will turn on?

[nocturne wyvern]

Yes.

[fast talon]

for zodiac weapon stuff, is it possible to force a fate to spawn just by clearing other fates in the area?

[finite cedar]

They decide to not completely drop two of the coolest races In The game because reasons

[warped depot]

Oh alright

[finite cedar]

It’s being reworked so they will be usable in 6.0?

[boreal storm]

Gathering greater than or equal to 221 gives 10% more hq rate

[nocturne wyvern]

Not sure how many more hairstyles they’ll add for the Viera and such but we’ll see.

[thick zodiac]

summoner or bard for dps

[finite cedar]

As well as previous hats and hairstyles?

[uneven dune]

Not really. You can increase the likelihood of FATEs spawning in general by clearing existing FATEs because there's a maximum amount of FATEs allowed in an area at once but spawning a specific FATE isn't really something that works

[nocturne wyvern]

Both are fine tbh.

[fast talon]

damn, alright. god the leves/fates part is the worst part of the books

not only is it tedious but its rng based

[gloomy bridge]

Is there a good measure for what materials to keep and what to trash (besides the "selling price" tag that I can see which ones I can just repurchase from NPCs)?

[twilit arch]

wasn't mentioned that it'll be 6.0 specifically

[finite cedar]

I assume we will but if someone could clarify that would be nice

[nocturne wyvern]

Yeah. They intended for the relics to be a painful grind. :/

[gloomy bridge]

I have so much clogging up all my inventories + single HQ items I feel like I should keep

[uneven dune]

Yeah I actually just finished that part a couple weeks ago...waiting for the FATES to spawn is horrible, I usually just check for FATE -> queue for dungeon -> repeat

[nocturne wyvern]

@thick zodiac But if you really care that much, at the highest level of gear in the savage mode raids smn tends to parse higher.

[finite cedar]

It’s honestly kinda pathetic but if it’s getting changed soon then I don’t really care

[nocturne wyvern]

But in Endwalker the job balance will be shifting again.

[leaden ginkgo]

In y’all’s opinion , think tanking’s more difficult than healing? I been healing but lowkey wanna try tanking.

Seems nerve wracking highkey lol

[modest igloo]

i find tanking easy

turn on stance

aoe

use defensive cooldowns

thats it

[finite cedar]

Then die and blame the healers

[leaden ginkgo]

Do they like follow a rotation or like healers how they got a rotation n opener but most stuff are situational

[abstract parcel]

when you queue for roulette as a role in need but that role changes while you are in queue do you still get the bonus? alternatively, if you queue as a role not in need but it changes while you are in queue should you drop and requeue to get bonus or

[uneven dune]

Tanking is the easiest role in the game imo

[leaden ginkgo]

Is that the same for tanking or is it a set rotation

[abstract parcel]

or is bonus not really that big in the first place

[nocturne wyvern]

There’s not really any fight that’s hard to tank in the current content.

Some of it is a little annoying.

[twilit arch]

the bonus locks in when you queue, so you will still get it even if it changes while you're waiting. That said AiN is not that big to queue specifically for

[finite cedar]

What

Dps. By a mile

[leaden ginkgo]

Ye I thought ranged DPSes had it the easiest

[abstract parcel]

okay awesome ty !!!

[finite cedar]

No mitigations to juggle no specific role mechanics

Just

Hit button don’t die

Easy

Tf you mean tank is easier

[fiery cairn]

I'm a wow refugee / lowbie/ sprout but tanking seems pretty easy in this game

The hardest part is knowing where to go

[finite cedar]

It gets more complicated

[nocturne wyvern]

If I had to name a fight that’s annoying to tank it would be the second phase of 12s. The snap shotting for certain mechanics is a little janky sometimes.

[modest igloo]

still too hard died to avoidable AOE blamed healer

[uneven dune]

At least with DPS you have to do a rotation

[leaden ginkgo]

Same I never picked up tanking on FF so I’m thinking WoW tanking lol

[uneven dune]

Ranged DPS might be easier than tank

BLM for instance is much harder than tanking imo

[finite cedar]

Tanks have those too. Ya heard of gnb?

[fiery cairn]

It's easier than wow tanking so far enmity generation is a lot more forgiving here.

[regal pawn]

you have a 20x modifier on enmity with tank stance, so yeah

[nocturne wyvern]

Deciding which role/job is easier or harder should have to be done on a fight by fight basis.

[leaden ginkgo]

Dam

[finite cedar]

Blm is a piss easy job.

[regal pawn]

sure

[nocturne wyvern]

Because performance in boss fights is what matters most and most of them are easy.

[regal pawn]

As someone playing both
I'd rather tank than play BLM

[finite cedar]

I do the same

[twilit arch]

This is getting to be a bit more discussion-y

so either take this to #general-discussion or #beginner-lounge thanks

[uneven dune]

Kaelwyrn is my hero

(Is that a question? Idk)

[leaden ginkgo]

Yeah sorry I asked cause if it is difficult then idk if I could put in the time and practice. Currently healing taking up all my practice hours lol

Didn’t mean to start a debate

[regal pawn]

Tanking is braindead, give it a shot

[leaden ginkgo]

Any particular job that’d be good to start with?

[uneven dune]

Regardless, it's definitely valuable to be able to play all 3 roles at a passable level imo

[regal pawn]

Warrior is kinda fun
You get to have a pocket bene at much later levels

[uneven dune]

GNB starts highest level sooo

[twilit arch]

if you're not really sure of yourself, going with marauder/gladiator and starting at 1 can be nice

since its a slow introduction

dark starts at 30, so if you're feeling a bit more confident can start with that instead

gunbreaker starting at 60 means its a bit more intimidating since you have a lot of skills thrown at you at once, but you can always queue for lower level dungeons and work up to get more comfortable with it

[leaden ginkgo]

Ok so as a healer. Sometimes I’d run a dunegon wit a DRK that legit needed me to heal 24/7 I couldn’t sneak in any AOEs

Other times I’d run the same dungeon wit a GNB who needed no heals whatsoever

Just a regen

[regal pawn]

DRK could've been not using mitigations on big pulls

[twilit arch]

most likely not a good player

[stray carbon]

couldve simply been bad

[regal pawn]

yah

[twilit arch]

hard to say without being there

[modest igloo]

i swear i have seen everyone call a tank squishy

[leaden ginkgo]

Yeah that’s why I’m like

[twilit arch]

that said drk can feel a bit squisher under 70 without tbn

[modest igloo]

save WAR lmao

[regal pawn]

They can be if you don't use your mitigations

[twilit arch]

but ultimately its really not

so long as you're using your mitagation tools properly

[leaden ginkgo]

oh yeah it was a lvl50 dungeon

[robust musk]

So I'm lvl 50 BTN and idk what stuff to do any advice or whatever

[stray carbon]

drk has the least mitigations

but the best one

but that best one is at 70

[regal pawn]

25% of your health as a shield + a free attack if it pops

[leaden ginkgo]

I’m not callin them bad but like seeing that difference makes it seem like a difficult role lol

[regal pawn]

It's not that bad

[stray carbon]

drk is pretty easy

[regal pawn]

I've had DRKs who i could just afk heal with my fairy while i spam AoEs

[stray carbon]

its just you dont get your big nut moment till 70

[zenith rover]

Guys you maybe know where the weltensalon is I can’t find it anywhere

[stray carbon]

other classes get said moment earlier

most of the time

other then smn

im looking at you firebirb

[twilit arch]

the battlehall is accessed via the duty finder. there's a section for gold saucer

[leaden ginkgo]

Yeah I forgot that’s a factor too

Like when a job gets good n stuff

[stray carbon]

gnb is more or less complete out of the package at 60

only big thing missing is continuation

[leaden ginkgo]

Qued up as SAM wit my squadron once , had no AOEs : ) them adds were going down one by one

[zenith rover]

Ok thanks a lot 🙏

[uneven dune]

Being a SMN main is an exercise in self hatred

[stray carbon]

smn doesnt exist till 80

it is dead to me till 80

[uneven dune]

It's dead to me at 80 too

[weary jolt]

Is there any other ways to get daily ARR beast tribe rep aside from the 3 quests that net 30 reputation in total each day?

[leaden ginkgo]

y? Lots of ppl tellin me to avoid pet jobs

[boreal storm]

The Quests added at each rank up give more rep, so until then

[leaden ginkgo]

Scholar lowkey looking hot wit that sacred soil at 50

[worthy drift]

I am a SMN main and I don't get it. Why?

[stray carbon]

theyre very buggy jobs

[knotty lily]

[faint flare]

Cause of pet jank

[stray carbon]

pet ghosting esp for smn is

hmm

[regal pawn]

doesn't get great until 62

[stray carbon]

im gearing smn with bis rn and i have to tiptoe around all the jank

[regal pawn]

That's when you get Excog, aka the good good shit

[stray carbon]

important part of playing smn

[faint flare]

Soil isn't useful until 78 or whatever the trait is

[leaden ginkgo]

Oh how come I always hear how BLM n SMN always been like really good DPSes ok FF

[regal pawn]

yah

regen from soil at 78

[stray carbon]

cuz they are good

buggy doesnt mean theyre bad

blm isnt buggy at all

[regal pawn]

SMN is good
when it's not janky

[twilit arch]

smn just has some jank you have to deal with

that's all

[leaden ginkgo]

Buggy in like some instances ?

[stray carbon]

its one of the most refined classes in the game(blm)

[leaden ginkgo]

!daily

[zinc orbit]

Tick, Tock, Kupo!

Time Until Daily Reset:

53 minutes, 16 seconds

[faint flare]

The pet ai is just bad

[stray carbon]

and smn, while having jank, is still really strong

[faint flare]

And poorly done

[worthy drift]

The pet ai is utter rubbish, yeah.

[faint flare]

Which leads to ghosting abilities

[stray carbon]

smn is getting another rework in endwalker

[faint flare]

And the rotation is built around trying to avoid ot

[stray carbon]

so hopefully it fixes some stuff

[faint flare]

Even then it's not fully 100% ghost proof

[worthy drift]

Another issue is the future carpal tunnel I will be getting if I keep playing that class.

[leaden ginkgo]

Welp

[stray carbon]

imo they should fuse dwt and bahamut together

like firebird and its trance

[leaden ginkgo]

I’m just now leveling a SCH to like better understand my co healers yk

[regal pawn]

3rd trance for a 3 minute rotation

[leaden ginkgo]

I’m AST main

[stray carbon]

and they should let your normal egi stay during demi egi phase

thats my two cents

[worthy drift]

They should definitely merge a number of abilities, because the bloat is real.

[stray carbon]

the fact that theres two seperate enkindles

when it couldve been one button

[twilit arch]

not a place to vent

[stray carbon]

hmm

[leaden ginkgo]

Lmfao

[worthy drift]

Which brings me to my question then!

I have a stupid question. I bought like 3k crysta on mogstation, and I regret it a lot. Is it possible to get a refund? I honestly don't know what got in my head to decide to buy this much. I am a true dumbass sometimes...

[leaden ginkgo]

Oh btw any other jobs changing in 6.0? I know about AST stances n stuff but nothing else

[twilit arch]

best would be to contact support

but doubt they will

[stray carbon]

i think smn and mnk are getting big reworks

[faint flare]

All jobs will change somewhat in expansion

[stray carbon]

thats all ik

[faint flare]

But smn is confirmed for a rework

[twilit arch]

mnk most likely isn't getting anything

mnk already got its rework

[stray carbon]

every class gets new stuff every expansion

[leaden ginkgo]

Ayeee

Let’s go

[stray carbon]

we already know lots of new stuff

[worthy drift]

Eh, I won't bother then. Let's hope I play all three months of gametime then.

[stray carbon]

like drg expanded full thrust? to summoners having a gap closer

etc

for his neutral special, mch wields a shotgun

[gloomy bridge]

should I desynth unique items I don't want, or trade them in for seals?

[faint flare]

We've only seen animations for 1 skill for each jon

[worthy drift]

Now that is a great question I would love to know the answer to as well.

[uneven dune]

Depends if you play crafters/need seals for anything...not really a uniform answer

[boreal storm]

If you need seals

[worthy drift]

I guess seals would make more gill though, ye?

[stray carbon]

how long would it take to level desynth on armorer to 520?

[boreal storm]

No?

[wet grotto]

I usually desynth items like weapons from Stormblood EX trials just in case it drops a mat for me

Otherwise into seals they become

[worthy drift]

This is taken from the FFXIV reddit wiki "Scaevan > Shire > Ironworks shield + accessories to trade for GC seals (to then spend on various things to use or sell; Cordials or Glamour Prisms are a good option)"

Oh wait, never mind.

[hallow sequoia]

Does anyone know if i can farm heavensward fates for luminous crystals and memories of undying at the same time?

[wet grotto]

Yes

[hallow sequoia]

then my luck sucks haha

did 10 fates only memories

[wet grotto]

Hm is your HW quest active?

[hallow sequoia]

yeah warrior quest and playing on my warrior

[twilit arch]

luminous are still subjected to rng

[wet grotto]

Yep, just sucky RNG

[hallow sequoia]

il just keep farming, thanks for the answer 🙂

[blazing oriole]

Hi, new player here, just removed the carbuncle's skills from my bar but now I can't seem to put them back, what's happening?

[faint flare]

Egi assaults

In action and traits

Those turn into pet skills

[blazing oriole]

I have two skills now, downburst and glittering topaz

How can I select which one will the guy use?

[spring lintel]

How to mark someone in pvp

[faint flare]

Glittering is it's auto

[spring lintel]

So that he has "1" above his head

[faint flare]

And downburst is via egi assaults

[spring lintel]

Not onyl in pvp actually but in raids or w/e

[uneven dune]

@blazing oriole To specify, you can't use pet skills directly. If you read the tooltips for your Egi Assaults carefully you can see which assault triggers what skills

[blazing oriole]

Oh so it depends on which carbuncle I summon

[faint flare]

Topaz has different skills than emerald

[tropic flame]

click on them then click on the one you want to mark them with

[faint flare]

Topaz uses Gouge as it's auto and earthern shield

[spring lintel]

does it work for alliance or just for the party?

[blazing oriole]

Isn't topaz stronger?

[faint flare]

In single target yes

Emerald is aoe

[tropic flame]

you can mark anyone

[boreal storm]

Emerald is aoe

[blazing oriole]

oh okay

[tropic flame]

but only people in your party willl see it

[faint flare]

Alliance members see marks

[tropic flame]

ah

yeah
