Leveling Guide for Alt jobs 🍻

Level 1 to 70 in five days (Stormblood)

[old smelt]

No one, I just don't agree with doing a sub cause WoW did the same thing and look how it turned out.

[twilit arch]

Ok

[austere dagger]

Ohh thanks!

[twilit arch]

this isn't the place for you then

[heavy jewel]

yea this game is not cheap thats for sure

[twilit arch]

and this isn't the channel to vent about it

[rough patrol]

Hunting log and FATES, dungeons if you unlocked some

[knotty lily]

In general, FATEs, some guildhests, your hunting logs for sure! Then dungeons once 15+

[heavy jewel]

but for the amout of game time it gives your its not that bad

[desert saddle]

does my summoned pets get better? i'm level 10 and my pet is hitting for 2-3

[rough patrol]

Wait ff14 is a subscription game?

Whoa, I wish there was some sort of way to know that!!!!

[old smelt]

Yes.

[warm snow]

That's how all sub games work. You're paying for server upkeep and regular updates. It's how ff11 worked and it didn't go to absolute shit like wow

[heavy jewel]

sucks a lot though paying monthtly if you only have like an hour a day to play

[twilit arch]

This is not the channel for that conversation

kindly drop it

[heavy wadi]

#rants is over there

[knotty lily]

For sure, your pet levels with you and it will evolve into new, upgraded pets as you level up and get Summoner (Egis). And after that at endgame, even further beyond...!

Also note that Topaz carbucle is like a tank but not good for Damage iirc

[desert saddle]

does it take long to evolve?

[twilit arch]

its good for burst AoE

[desert saddle]

mine is a blue cat-like creature. Emerald

[rough patrol]

Is omega an 8 man savage raid?

[obsidian patio]

It’s normal and savage

[jade condor]

There are normal modes for omega

[rough patrol]

Nice

[heavy jewel]

am i doing something wrong my chocobo has only got 3 skill points total and i'm hw and got 3 lvl 70s...?

[rough patrol]

Is it too easy to do synced or should I try it min ilvl?

[heavy jewel]

i've had it out for everything

[cursive terrace]

how much does a guild house cost?

minimum

[carmine ore]

Omega is an 8 man raid. Has both normal and savage modes

[cursive terrace]

interesting

[knotty lily]

At level 30 is where you'll see the first one, starts looking real cool after that. Again, its for Summoner - Scholar doesnt have DPS pets but healing pets, Fairies

[obsidian patio]

Do note the hard part about FC housing is finding an open plot

[desert saddle]

ahh k

so its better to at least get to 30 to see how the class really plays?

[heavy jewel]

well 30 you have hardly any skills

better to watch a video

of 80 gameplay

[knotty lily]

30 is better, but it gets like, you know. Good at 50, better at 60, then 70... blah blah, as all classes do. 80 gameplay is kino for all jobs right now, yeah

[rough patrol]

Most jobs get their core skills at 50, some at 60 or even 70

[desert saddle]

60 is the max level for free trial right?

[knotty lily]

I wont spoil what happens to summoners at 70+ but if you like pet jobs, its worth the wait I promise

[last brook]

https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/ranking/deepdungeon/?solo_party=solo&dcgroup=Primal

I don't understand the rankings what do the numbers mean? 3086464??

[twilit arch]

those are the amount of points they scored at the end of their runs

[solemn hound]

what is the best way to powerlevel a lvl 71 DPS? I only need to get 1 level so i can turn in my lvl 72 MSQ

[desert saddle]

hmm alright. gonna keep that in mind. so far I'm enjoying Lancer, Monk, Rogue and the 2 caster DPS

didn't liked the healer nor the tanks

[leaden ginkgo]

Anyone have a guide for Battle of Castrum Lacus Litore? I'm so confused with shout chat saying "UP pt, a b c etc.. down pt"

[twilit arch]

if you have daily roulettes still available, would do those. otherwise can use trusts to rerun the lv 71 dungeon.

[soft pine]

Where can I find a place to run The Great Hunt Extreme?

@desert saddle https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k_vH-1WZQ3A this was a really fun and quick video to get a idea of the job types

No

[heavy jewel]

skill and ability spoilers

but thats it i believe

[desert saddle]

thanks

[snow falcon]

When i pull mobs in dungeons, am i supposed to lose Aggro on a mob or two while running to the next pack?

[cunning loom]

aoe them with tank stance on

[faint flare]

Not if you actually hit them

[cunning loom]

you won't lose them without heavy damage done to them

[faint flare]

Do 1 to 2 aoes per pack

[snow falcon]

I do

[twilit arch]

you do have your stance on right?

[snow falcon]

Usually pull first with ranged and hit em with aie

Aoe

Yes

[faint flare]

Either your gear is utter shit or.someone went super fucking ham

You basically can't lose aggro if you aoe mobs once or twice

[snow falcon]

Ironworks on the aery

[warm snow]

That's around when you should be replacing ironworks

[snow falcon]

Yeah i got bits and pieces from the aery

[warm snow]

Also if there's a rdm they have 2 burst ogcds that can usually pull aggro on one mob

!skill contre sixe

[zinc orbit]

**Contre Sixte** : lvl 56 RDM (45.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

[snow falcon]

Oh that explains it

Was happening with a rdm(?) i think

[sturdy mango]

Does mount have different speed ?

[crimson crystal]

all mounts go the same speed

but you might have different speeds in different areas (doesn;t matter once you can fly)

[undone current]

Msq upgrades it though per area

[sturdy mango]

and what's the speed bonus ?

[hot eagle]

doin msq unlocks faster mount speed on ground, or buying riding maps for allied/centurio seals

[sturdy mango]

Oh okok ty 😄 and mount can fly ?

[fickle compass]

Yeah every mount in the game has the ability to fly

[warm snow]

All mounts can fly

[jade condor]

All mounts are capable of flying once you have unlocked it

[warm snow]

Flight is a separate unlock

Flying FAQ

'How can I unlock Flying?'

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

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

'Where can I find the green Aether Currents?'

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

[fickle compass]

Just have to unlock it through msq

[heavy jewel]

does whm not have shields and scholar not have regen?

[obsidian patio]

Pretty much no.

White mage only has one shield but it’s pretty mediocre

[fresh gate]

Scholar has one regen ability and white mage has one shield ability

[obsidian patio]

!action divine benison

[fresh gate]

Scholar has a lot of instant heals though

[heavy jewel]

ah ok so as an astro do i go nocturnal when paired with whm and durnal when paired with scholar?

[obsidian patio]

You can do diurnal with white mage

If shields aren’t needed

[heavy jewel]

gotcha

[obsidian patio]

But yes always diurnal with scholar

[fresh gate]

The regens between diurnal AST and WHM stack together

So that’s one thing to consider

[heavy jewel]

oh nice that sounds strong

do we know what sage will be?

[fresh gate]

Shields

They call it a barrier healer so I just default to thinking it’s shield possibly

Could even be just straight out % mitigation or something

[heavy jewel]

interesting

[faint flare]

Barrier is shields

[fresh gate]

It’s expected to be a shield since AST is losing its nocturnal sect

[heavy jewel]

...

[fresh gate]

So it’s 2 pure and 2 Shields

[heavy jewel]

good to know considering i was about to max astro

first

[faint flare]

They've already shown a few shield animations

[fresh gate]

Well, it will take a while before it's removed

like, 99 days ?

[heavy jewel]

thats kinda lame though they are changing astro that much so it won't be unique anymore

[twilit arch]

we dont know exactly what the AST changes are

beyond it becoming a pure healer

[fresh gate]

yeah

[twilit arch]

and most likely using noct sect

[heavy jewel]

so i will be kicked out of parties needing shield healer then... lovely

[twilit arch]

I mean unless you're joining pfs

probably not

since the only content that really needs shields is savage for the most part

[indigo mountain]

uh quick question

[fresh gate]

AST is very powerful as it is when it comes to healing too anyway

[indigo mountain]

why is Blue Mage called a limited job?

[queen gulch]

is there a way to hide the little gear icons on macros?

[fresh gate]

Because it was more of a side minigame added into the game, and it's too powerful to be an actual job

[twilit arch]

cards are honsetly always going to be welcomed

[indigo mountain]

ohhhh

ok

[twilit arch]

so its pretty likely that ast is still going to be wanted

[heavy jewel]

is that the biggest job change we know of in endwalker?

[little swift]

No

Summoner for all we know is getting its 5835th rework

[fresh gate]

they're maybe changing some things related to summoner

they don't like working with the pets much

[frail anvil]

oh when you said that i was hoping they were adding pets lol

[fresh viper]

summoners get to play a new job again

[left whale]

Oh do i got bad news for you

[twilit arch]

if you own absolutely nothing, you need to buy the complete edition

if you want to play as viera

[frail anvil]

oh no

[left whale]

Sadly preordering EW doesnt grant ya any of the previous expansion content until it comes out, so you’re shit outa luck for 3 months

[white sierra]

It's there a way to get back my chaos great? I accidentally got rid of it

[left whale]

Calamity salvager

[frail anvil]

Oh right, I'm aware of that, the link I gave actually links to the complete edition

[left whale]

Ive been bamboozled

[jade condor]

It shows the whole preorder page but yes complete edition is there and the current best "bang for your buck"

[heavy jewel]

lucky its on sale right now

[rich trench]

what do i need to do to unlock weapons/armor from Auriana?

[left whale]

The discord embed was not the complete edition

[heavy jewel]

it wasnt when i bought it

had to get from a third party website

[jade condor]

You need to beat the base ARR story

[rich trench]

ahh, up to patch 2.55 then?

[frail anvil]

yeah I used chrome's "copy link to highlighted text" magic but embeds dont recognize that stuff

[willow sparrow]

How do you make your character continously dance?

[twilit arch]

no, just 2.0 . aka clear castrum and praetorium

[obsidian patio]

Use a dance in the special section of emotes

[willow sparrow]

ahh

[obsidian patio]

The default dance doesn’t loop unless you use a macro that uses it every x seconds

[heavy jewel]

how do you get people to stop dancing?

[wheat plume]

I just noticed in Timers there is "Ehcatl Nine Delivery Quests", dunno what's that but google says it's similar to GC turns in. That made me think, Am I missing more stuff in Timers that I haven't unlocked yet? I have a list of 9 things inside Timers

[white sierra]

Chaos stuff isn't at calamity salvager

[obsidian patio]

By asking nicely. 🙂

[heavy jewel]

@obsidian patio ha ha

[wet grotto]

That is just for the Ixal beast tribes, you don’t need to worry about it unless you’re leveling them

[obsidian patio]

You need to rebuy the level 60 job sets from the clan centurio vendor in Ishgard

[wheat plume]

Only the ixal have their own stuff in Timers list? Or any other tribes too (besides beast tribes allowances)?

[hot eagle]

you mean the lvl60 drk jobgear? if yeah need to rebuy it with centurio seals in ishgard in the forgotten knight

[wet grotto]

Only Ixal. Other beast tribes don’t do the deliveries.

[queen gulch]

im trying to get the ability arm's length into a macro but for some reason it wont go off, is there something you need to do with ' perhaps?

[silver ruin]

donnt macro it? lol

[heavy jewel]

think alliance raids are more fun to to min ilvl the first time?

if i can get a pf group

[wheat plume]

nice, thxs. Just to be sure, Timers list is supossed to only have a list of 9 things, right? I really don't know if I'm missing unlocking anythig lol

[left whale]

… well thats some bs, im keeping me chaos ser i the glam dresser forever..

[round scarab]

Quick question: Im lvl 28 and just starting out still (day 4 or smthing) should I worry about joining a guild or is that not to worry about yet?

[silver ruin]

purely social

[heavy jewel]

or are alliance raids still easy on min ilvl?

[left whale]

FC buffs tho

[wet grotto]

You might unlock more along the way. There might be more but I don’t know the exact number at the top of my head lol

[round scarab]

Is there an interface or area to meetup and find guilds?

[silver ruin]

fc buffs can help, but they're not that strong and they might not be running the ones you want lol

[round scarab]

FCS i mean

[silver ruin]

just join at your own pace

[faint flare]

Still easy.. Min ilvl doesn't really change difficulty... Just means you don't skip mechanics and people take abit more damage. Mechanics are still braindead

[wheat plume]

oh, I'm already past 5.55, how do I know If I'm missing content to unlock?

[round scarab]

Awesome thanks for the advice ladies and gents take care

Re wxbar

[wheat plume]

Is it true I can mix low level materia to get high level materia (a friend told me but I don't know if he was joking)?

[faint flare]

Yes

It's a very small chance

[wheat plume]

How/Where?

[faint flare]

Mutamix

It's a small chance when transmuting

[wheat plume]

that's the npc who unlocked to use materia, right? Where was he?

[heavy jewel]

is there any reason to learn about materia before max lvl?\

[faint flare]

Black brush station

At the campfire

[obsidian patio]

Central Thanalan

[faint flare]

No cause it turns off when you sync

And you're always being synced until cap

[wheat plume]

I didn't know that. Is there a list with ALL the info abouth the game? I've been playing for 10 months and there is stuff I still don't know.

[heavy jewel]

would you all recommend raids and trials on min ilvl or just normal synced for the first time through? Is it still about the same with synced vs min ilvl?

[ruby turtle]

After completing the AAR MSQ is it worth unlocking all the dungeons for the astral era storyline??

[faint flare]

Just do it normally

[heavy jewel]

i don't want to feel like i cheated

[faint flare]

Min ilvl just means you see more mechanics

[outer mural]

min ilevel will just make your stats lower so it's harder

really up to you

[untold willow]

do ESC > character configuration > hotbar settings and then select which ones you want

[faint flare]

You see more mechanics, take longer and stuff hits abit harder

[heavy jewel]

like will you be skipping mechanics on normal synced? or just them not repeating as often?

[faint flare]

Depends on fight

[wet grotto]

I would do it just to have it and not go back later

[rain vapor]

is the grand company I pick relevant for pvp queuing times (so if I pick the most popular one I have to wait longer) or does it not matter for that?

[faint flare]

Nope

[outer mural]

depends on the fight entirely

[heavy jewel]

about what % less damage taken and recieved are you doing min ilvl vs synced?

[faint flare]

You're permanently free lancer

[rain vapor]

Cool, thanks 🙂

[violet star]

how accurate is the aggro list when it comes to dps?

[faint flare]

Not much

[wooden plinth]

Is there any way to synthesize things instantly? Without rotation and etc

[violet star]

besides tanks

[outer mural]

accurate in a vacuum for DPS if zero DPS die

otherwise not really at all

[faint flare]

Or don't use self healing

As self healing Increases aggro

[outer mural]

quick synth but that is unlocked later on

[wheat plume]

It varies depending on the fight.
ARR primals extremes are a little hard even only sync, but the first 2 primals extreme from Heavensward only sync are a joke.

[wet grotto]

Quick synthesis, seems you haven’t unlocked it yet

[wooden plinth]

Thanks

[ashen kite]

do mounts drop if you do stuff unsynced

[heavy jewel]

@wheat plume oh really..interesting, i did the arr ones but only tried king in HW so far

[wet grotto]

Yes

[heavy jewel]

is high end in hw the same as extreme from arr?

[open ember]

Does the Yukinko Snowflake minion come from Moist Warped Lockboxes or normal lockboxes? Or is it bunny chests??

[smoky crest]

Any good tomestone of poetics sink? Im capped and i dont know what to spend them on

[wheat plume]

For example Ravana ex only sync, doesn't feel like the extremes from ARR, I needed to do that min ilvl to feel any acomplishment

[open ember]

No high end duty is current savages, ultimate and EXs

Old EX and savage are not high end duties

Rn the only high end duties is ultimate and current savage

[smoky crest]

ty!

[heavy jewel]

@open ember huh? i said in HW there is no ultimate in hw i thought?

[open ember]

Ultimates didn't show until Stormblood

So no you're right but Ultimates are high end duties anyway

Any old savage and EX you can unsync is not a high end duty

[heavy jewel]

like for example in HW thordands reign is under the high end trial tab but it doesnt say extreme next to it like the ARR trials

[deft monolith]

The big Catus disappeared from Limsa Upper Decks, what happened?

[heavy jewel]

so what difficult is it considered

[open ember]

Thordans Reign is not under high end duty

[faint flare]

Make it rain ended

[deft monolith]

Oh so it was an event?

[faint flare]

Yes

[deft monolith]

Ok thanks

[faint flare]

There's always decorations during events

[open ember]

You cannot access high end duty tab until lv80

[heavy jewel]

@open ember

[open ember]

That just tbe section for EXs for HW

[cunning loom]

minstrel's ballad is EX trial but for main story content

[wheat plume]

Yeah, some of them don't say "Extreme", but every fight under that High-end Trial is considered Extreme, BUT people are used to say "High-End" to the harder versions of fighths only from last patch, that's why people only refer to high-end to Eden Savage 9-12 and Ultimates

[heavy jewel]

ok so it is considered expert eventhough it doesnt say so

[cunning loom]

it's just an aesthetic naming choice

yes

[open ember]

Yep

You worded it better but yes

[remote lintel]

the high end duty tab is a whole other tab in the duty finder

[soft pine]

Can someone explain to me how party finder works?

[remote lintel]

youre on the regular tab

[open ember]

The high end duties I'm talking about are totally different

[heavy wadi]

you want the high end duties tab https://i.imgur.com/GpZ19rG.png

[wheat plume]

Also IIRC, Odin is also considered like that even if it isn't under that

[faint flare]

You post a listing, wait for people to join then que. Alternatively pick a party to join

[soft pine]

Does it just throw me in or is there a list if I join?

[cunning loom]

odin isn't expert but it's bordering on it

it isn't in trial roulette since it's harder than normal trials

but it doesn't drop a mount like arr ex trials

[heavy jewel]

i mean i don't want spoilers was just wondering since it wasn't labled..

[faint flare]

Party finder is just a place to post party recruitment

[remote lintel]

@heavy jewel "minstrel's ballad" means extreme

[faint flare]

You.que into duties normally once full

[heavy jewel]

is ballad the hardest extreme trial in hw?

[faint flare]

No

Same difficulty

[heavy jewel]

k its the one i started with lol

[remote lintel]

its the same as all the other extremes

[heavy wadi]

they're just a different name

[heavy jewel]

someone said the others were easy

[cunning loom]

min ilvl no echo will still need you to understand the mechanics

[open ember]

Unsync is what's easy. Min ilvl, no

[heavy jewel]

but not synced?

[wheat plume]

for expansions, every trial under High-end is the harder version, and any Raid under Savage is the harder version. But thing were a little different in ARR (Odin isnt under high-end but it's very hard, and Coils of Bahamut non-savage are as hard as savages). Also some high-end trials from expansions are hard only sync, and others needs to be done min ilvl to be hard

[heavy jewel]

i was doing thordan ex synced and people wiping all the time without understanding mechanics

[open ember]

Because he's actually hard

[cunning loom]

it probably needs the most knowledge of mechanics to do min ilvl

since it's a lot to remember relative to other hw ex trials

[open ember]

Yeah you still have to do mechs anytime you do old synced EXs

[wheat plume]

yeah, Thordan EX is one of the extremes that only with sync are very hard (in the other hand u have Ravana and Bismark, their fights extreme sync are very easy and u need to do them min ilvl to have a challenge)

[open ember]

Its why people just want the mount and rewards they don't really wanna do it for the challenge

[fluid tartan]

so I found all aether points but I cant fly yet, im guessing the top row of diamonds is aether points i get through questing?

then I can fly?

[cunning loom]

yes

[fluid tartan]

cool ty

[quick sage]

Hey guys, how many mounts is there in Alexander savage raids?

[cunning loom]

there are always 5 quests that grant you aether currents

[open ember]

2

[cunning loom]

sometimes a few of the 5 quests is an MSQ

[open ember]

a4s and a12s

[wheat plume]

per zone, 10 ather currents, finish the msq in the zone, and do 4 blue side quests that reward with aethercurrent, do all that and u unlock flying

[fluid tartan]

per zone, I have to do that for every zone from here on out?

[heavy jewel]

thats super lame when people do stuff unsynced the first time challenging fights are one of the biggest reasons to even play this game

[wheat plume]

yeah, each expansion has 6 zones

[quick sage]

@open ember how many mounts for stormblood savage?

[open ember]

3

[quick sage]

Delta v4, sigma v4, and alpha v4?

[open ember]

Yes

[quick sage]

And for shadowbringer savage?

[open ember]

3

[wheat plume]

It depends on every player, I think like you, but a lot of my friends don't care about challenge and prefer to do unsync to farm mounts.

[open ember]

Same idea

[wet grotto]

Meh. You don’t really want to spend more time than you already should be farming mounts

[quick sage]

Thanks

[open ember]

Np~

[fluid tartan]

I also heard if im lazy I can beat the game as usual then just buy a story skip that grants me all the aether, is that true? Cause honestly for 15 or so dollars thats not bad. I already did my flying gate keep in wow for years id love to skip it here

[heavy jewel]

@wheat plume so you were saying coils normal synced is about as hard as the expansions savage difficulty?

[leaden ginkgo]

´just saw bow

[wheat plume]

YES

[heavy jewel]

oh interesting

ty

[wet grotto]

If you don’t care about the story, then go for it

[wheat plume]

not the first 4, but after those, YES (mostly because the first big boss in coil is in 5)

[fluid tartan]

nah I mean after msq is done, can i buy a story skip for just the aether? I do care for story

[wet grotto]

It’d be kind of a waste of money

imo

[jade condor]

Getting flying is trivial in FF compared to WoW's abysmal rep grinds they had

[wheat plume]

Coils Normal are kinda Savage difficulty, they even have Savage only for 6-9, and they aren't in Normal Raid Roulette

[wet grotto]

If you do msq, you could just have a friend or a random take you around for the aether currents

[jade condor]

Especially with maps/guides that exist.

[heavy jewel]

is savage + the only content that drops mounts/minions/glamour?

[fluid tartan]

yeah yeah good point, let me see what the rest of msq is like before i start spouting waste of money ideas

thanks for the help everyone

[twilit arch]

you cant use an msq skip once you've completed the final msq for that expac

[heavy jewel]

@wheat plume is coils savage closer to ultimate then? since normal is already savage difficulty?

[twilit arch]

no

[wheat plume]

Dunno, I haven't done Coils Savage yet

[twilit arch]

coil savage isnt that much of a step up

[wheat plume]

is it closer to coils normal?

[twilit arch]

yes'

[obsidian patio]

Savage Coil basically shuffles some mechanics around and never got nerfed

[heavy jewel]

does savage ad new mechanics? or just increase/decrease damage and health?

[obsidian patio]

It was the “original” form of the fights before SE gave it some final adjustments, IIRC

Savage adds new mechanics and has a higher DPS check

[jade condor]

Coils had a lot of frontloaded mechanics when compared to HW and up fights right?

[fossil swift]

When should I join fc

[faint flare]

Whenever you want

[heavy jewel]

so hw raid is easier than coils? synced

[terse saffron]

Is there any difference between the Standard and Entry subscription other than the characters per world limit?

[faint flare]

Yes

[obsidian patio]

Cost if you’re not doing 6 months of sub as standard

[faint flare]

No

[obsidian patio]

If you mean HW savage to Coil, then I’d say harder

If you mean HW normal, then much easier

[heavy jewel]

no hw normal and arr normal

[sacred oracle]

hello do the quest give job armor if it's not my first job?

[obsidian patio]

Yes

[faint flare]

Arr has no normal raids

Coils Is classed as savage

[cunning loom]

arr raids were when SE was trying out difficulty levels

[sacred oracle]

it's lv50 right?

[cunning loom]

so it's all over the place in terms of difficulty

it's not really normal-level, not really savage-level

but i'd say it tends a little towards savage?

[heavy jewel]

i'm talking about game definition

[terse saffron]

I'm not sure if my maths are off or there are different prices per region but
6 month standard sub €65,94
6 month entry sub €10.99 x 6 = €65,94

[wheat plume]

HW raids normal are as hard as the primals during MSQ, easy fight to see the story

[obsidian patio]

Yes.

[heavy jewel]

strange you'd think things would get harder as you go

[terse saffron]

So other than the characters per world there would be no difference? 🙂

[twilit arch]

if you're doing standard at 1mo per, or 3 mo per then it would be more expenisve

the only time standard is the same cost is if you do 6mos

which is what wynne was saying

[terse saffron]

I get that but I would see no point having more than one character at all

[obsidian patio]

RP, playing on other datacenters, raid alts

[frail anvil]

Is there some problem with purchasing endwalker right now? I've with tried multiple working credit cards and they're all getting declined

[twilit arch]

only reason to do standard vs entry, is if you wanna do multiple months at a time

realistically

unless you're like wynne said, someone who wants multiple alts for rp/raiding/etc

[minor light]

hey all what content do you suggest farming after eden prayer and nier 3rd raid?

[dim marsh]

for cp foods that have a higher cap than the % they give, do I just keep using that food to stack? or do I have to use different foods? for example stone soup gives 10% cp and has a cap of 17% cp, can I just use two stone soups to cap?

[terse saffron]

Alright, I'll just take it a month at a time and see how it goes. Thanks for the help, both of you!

[cunning loom]

food doesn't stack

[dim marsh]

so how do I reach the higher cap?

[cunning loom]

the increase is based on your current CP

[dim marsh]

ohh

[waxen siren]

Are poetics relevant after shire gear?

[dim marsh]

so cap is the actual number

not %

thank you

[twilit arch]

yes, poetics are used for the 70 gear @waxen siren

[waxen siren]

Where can I get that?

[twilit arch]

rhalgr's reach/kugane, assuming you've completed the main scenario quest "Stormblood"

[waxen siren]

I have, thanks 🙏

[frail anvil]

If I made my FF account outside of steam is it still possible to login through the FF client downloaded via steam?

[winter pelican]

Any lvl 80’s wanna help me and my sis with the extreme primals using undersized party? We’ve been grinding these things for days to get the mounts we on primal Excalibur btw

[warm snow]

Not that kind of questions and help channel

[tranquil wolf]

how many retainers can you own

and why does it say "8"

[warm snow]

Looking for Marriage partner

[winter pelican]

Yea sry I didn’t know where to put it

[warm snow]

#recruitment-primal perhaps

Or a party finder

Or wait to come back to them when you're 80 yourself

Honestly a level 70 could solo the arr primals

[timber lily]

how do I add percentages to enemy hp bars? Is it possible?

[warm snow]

Power creep has not been kind

[warm snow]

It's a setting in character config

Idk where specifically but it shouldn't be hard to find

[manic flare]

how do you transfer items from character on one datacenter to a character on a different datacenter?

[obsidian patio]

You can also enable it through hud layout on the target UI settings

[warm snow]

You don't

[timber lily]

ok thank you ill find it im sure

[fluid tartan]

this game feels like such a different vibe when you leave ARR and go to HW, does the feeling change every expansion?

[manic flare]

does retainer gear item level affect retainer quick exploration venture exp (for combat job retainers)?

[warm snow]

Yes, but imo nothing quite as drastic as arr to hw

[twilit arch]

no

[tranquil wolf]

how do you get more than 2 retainers?

[twilit arch]

quick venture exp is not affected bit item level

[warm snow]

Since new va agency and the overall quality difference is massive

[timber lily]

found it if anyone else is interested its character config >ui settings > hud> last option

[warm snow]

Also every expansion has a "Quest accepted" Jingle

[twilit arch]

its additional service on the mogstation

[fluid tartan]

thanks @warm snow

[manic flare]

so i can just keep equipping my retainer with ilevel 1 gear until they hit level 80 if all i'm interested in is leveling them as fast as possible?

[twilit arch]

sure

[tranquil wolf]

nothing there

about retainer

[twilit arch]

its under your account, sorry

does everyone in an ultimte group get the cool drops/glamour or do you greed for it?

[leaden ginkgo]

is there still a recruit a friend campaign

[heavy wadi]

Yeah, you can access it via the mogstation

it looks like an ad so you may just read right past it

[leaden ginkgo]

Yeah i'm blind thanks

[sturdy mango]

I just reach my lvl 30, how can i be a dark mage now ? 😄

[heavy wadi]

it also counts as an ad so your adblocker may hide it

[heavy wadi]

black mage, and do your job quests

[dim roost]

are there any target dumbies to practice rotation on?

just picked up SAM

and i'm confused 🙂

[leaden ginkgo]

could someone tell me a good way to get crystals/shards im always running out i got alvl69 btn and a lvl58 miner what can i do?

[sturdy mango]

Okok and i got new spell ? or nothing change ?

[heavy wadi]

you'll get new spells, yes

[sturdy mango]

ty 😄

[heavy wadi]

always do your job quests

they gate skills

and free gear

[rich idol]

is there a minimum/maximum CP for Crafters right now?

level 80

[leaden ginkgo]

might be a stupid question but im like 250 hours into this game, part way through shadowbringers, and ive never done a raid (other than the mandatory alliance ones in the msq), am I able to raid rn? always wanted to try it

[heavy wadi]

You could do the omega raids (sb) or the alexander raids (hw)

you could also do each expacs alliance series

[heavy wadi]

i'd do them at the least to add a bit more to your roulettes

[errant oyster]

is there any personal bank system?

[leaden ginkgo]

yeah, good call

[rich idol]

or do we have any guide for stats we need as disciple of hand?

[knotty lily]

Yes, try going to Summerford Farms for some low level dummies to test on. If you arent in a guild and they dont have one at a house they own!

[faint flare]

Everyone gets a totem in their inventory on clear

[hot eagle]

if you have a miner retainer and leveled them you can send them out for shards/crystals or you buy them from the mb they aren't so expensive

[turbid canyon]

hey i have a question
so 2 of my friends are getting married in behemoth, and im in ultros
apparently i cant attend since my home world isnt behemoth
why is that??

[knotty lily]

Yes, Retainers. They hold your items and sell things on the Market Board for you, every player can get 2 Retainers for free at a certain point

[faint flare]

Cause weddings aren't cross server yet

[knotty lily]

You hit the nail on the head already, because your home world isnt behemoth!

[turbid canyon]

are there any plans to make it cross server?

[knotty lily]

!faq retainer

[turbid canyon]

cause i cant make an alt there since its full, so i cant attend the wedding

[zinc orbit]

Retainer Guide

What is a retainer?
A retainer is a private NPC that will act as a personal bank for the player, holding up to 175 different items, that can be summoned to any of the Summoning Bells around the world. Retainers also act as your means to sell on the Market Board.

How to unlock a retainer
First, you must complete the quest The Scions of the Seventh Dawn then go to speak to any of the Retainer Vocates located in the market district of any of the major cities.

What are Retainer Ventures?
Ventures are the means to send out your retainers on missions to bring back items for you and can be unlocked by completing the quest 'An Ill-conceived Venture' (Ul’Dahn), (Gridania), (Limsa Lominsa)

[faint flare]

They said they wanted to waaaaaaaay back when they were adding it

But obviously it's like very low priority

[turbid canyon]

damn, that sucks

[errant oyster]

thanks

much appreciated

[ivory badge]

What does this symbol actually mean? Aren't all duties syncing item level by default?

[leaden ginkgo]

just looking through the unlocks for different expansions, theres a LOT of raids and you only mentioned a couple, should I first go for the ones you mentioned or just do em all

[dreamy reef]

i have a question how do u get to be the gun slinger which job do u need to start with

[knotty lily]

It means that they sync your -item level- on top of your level. At level 50, the item level sync for say

Sastasha Hard is 130

But for Copperbell* hard, it goes even further below to 110, see:

[leaden ginkgo]

https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/playguide/db/quest/e3f6c6209c3/

[ivory badge]

Doesn't matter what job. Just reach lvl60 and do an unlock quest

[heavy wadi]

do whichever sound cool to you! personally I'd do the alliance raid series first, then alexander and omega. if you want to do the shb relics you have to finish the sb alliance raids anyways

[sturdy mango]

Anyone know why lucid dream dont work as thaumaturge

[leaden ginkgo]

okay cool :) thank you

[wheat pulsar]

is there a way to compare the actual stats attached to an item? I can only see comparisons for armor/defence

like 4 dex vs 2 dex etc, without having C panel open

[ivory badge]

Oh so if there's no symbol then the duty essentially allows me to do it with max item lvl?

[knotty lily]

Its kinda, "it just doesnt". Something to do with Astral Fire , unfortunately. Works properly on Red Mage and Summoner tho.

[sturdy mango]

So the spell dont work on black mage ?

[dreamy reef]

ok its level 60

[knotty lily]

Yeah the numbers change for each level cap, but its to prevent the dungeon from being "too easy". If you queue into Copperbell Hard, it will always put you to i110, but if you queue into Sastasha Hard you'll always be synced down to "i130".

[knotty lily]

Correct, Lucid also doesnt work for BLM

[mortal current]

While in astral fire your mp regeneration is disabled, and lucid dreaming is considered regeneration.

[ivory badge]

I see. Thanks

[ruby turtle]

Do I do the trial urths mount from the duty finder or the party finder??

[tranquil wolf]

does the fishing boat timer starts irl time or ingame time

[warm snow]

Realistically you'll need a preformed party through the party finder

[ivory badge]

If it's not extreme then duty finder is fine. I wiped only once in that one

[warm snow]

It's an extreme in all but name so its not on any normal roulettes

[ruby turtle]

Oh shit?

[warm snow]

You can queue for it using duty finder

But it'll probably take quite a while

[ruby turtle]

Im level 54, should I even be attemoting this?

[knotty lily]

Here its Secure - you can always go to the PVP tab and see which one isn't locked for a dead giveaway, though

[sturdy mango]

Sad //

[warm snow]

I mean lucid is waaaaay weaker than your ice phase regen

Also you have manafont

And lucid doesn't work during fire phase

[ivory badge]

Do it. If you don't get too many first timers you can clear it just fine. Just remember to go big dick once he drops to 15% hp. I was around that lvl when I cleared it

[knotty lily]

Yeah the key is that BLM just doesnt need Lucid, between Umbral and Manafont

[warm snow]

It's been power crept super bad so if you're in ironworks gear you'll probably be fine, but an incompetent party will wipe

[ruby turtle]

I've been party finder for 40 mins

[dense estuary]

Would anyone be able to help me craft some 80 crafter gear? I can get mats

[ruby turtle]

yeah I have all ironworks gear atm

[warm snow]

Not that kind of questions and help channel

[faint flare]

!faq job

[zinc orbit]

How do I unlock my job?

To unlock your class' job you need to be level 30, complete all of your class quests and the main scenario quest 'Sylph Management' (lvl 20 quest) to be able to pick up your job unlock quest. Once you've done the initial unlock quest, you will be given a soul crystal which you must equip to become your class' job.

[warm snow]

Remember kids, EVERYTHING is locked behind main story progress

[lapis sorrel]

So, what's the fastest way to gain crystal sand for my anima relic?

[neon fog]

Any way to customize floating text at all? like move where numbers/buffs and debuffs roll

[warm snow]

Crafter scrips

[warm snow]

Not really no

[lapis sorrel]

Yea, I don't have any crafter XD

Is there any other method?

[sturdy mango]

Oh okok, i'm way behind in term of main quest that's why :/

[neon fog]

Thanks, I hate it

[sturdy mango]

Oh no i'm at lvl 23 quest

[warm snow]

Every other one, but that's the fastest

[fossil swift]

How important is having DoH leveled to your main class level

[lapis sorrel]

Whats the 2nd fastest if you don't mind me asking

oh thats a pretty good skill

[heavy jewel]

does duty finder allow duplicate jobs?

[warm snow]

Yes

Ish

[faint flare]

In Normal content yes

[heavy jewel]

so it can choose 2 whm or two sch

?

[warm snow]

It won't give you 2 tanks in a 4 man dungeon for example

[faint flare]

In the raid finder/high end duty tab it won't let double jobs

[warm snow]

But in 8 man content yes it can give you matching healers

There's a party finder setting for one of each job

[heavy jewel]

oh thats good cause it only matter in high end anyway

[warm snow]

But for anything you wouldn't be using party finder for it really doesn't matter

[sturdy mango]

I just look and i've done all my job quest + sylph management quest, but i dont know how to find the soul crystal

[faint flare]

It's the last slot

In the armoury chest

Bottom right

[warm snow]

Technically completely unimportant, it's also very difficult to level doh past your current msq level as expansion areas are gated by msq

[faint flare]

Under rings

[sturdy mango]

I've nothing

[dim marsh]

for squadron missions do you need all 3 stats to be green for success? i thought 2/3 green stats was 67% success but i've failed 5 in a row, am I just unlucky or did I misunderstand how it worked? and this isn't the rank up mission

[faint flare]

Then you have 1.more quest to do

[warm snow]

Then you probably haven't done the blm unlock quest

[faint flare]

Only for flagged missions

so normal missions it's just increments of 33% right? and i've just been unlucky so far?

[sturdy mango]

sorry ahah

[faint flare]

Yes

[sturdy mango]

i was thinking that i've only one lvl 30 job quest

but nop sorry

[warm snow]

Technically you do

But you also have a level 30 class quest

[sturdy mango]

Okok that's why 😄 i find the quest with the soul crystal, i gonna do that

Have fun

[astral cedar]

bruh like what was the pointof the 2nd phase of quests for arr?

[west fox]

Hi, if I buy the starter edition and Endwalker preorder on ps4, am I able to play on PC with the same account? Or would I need to buy the game on PC as well?

[neon fog]

buy again

[west fox]

Do I need to buy both the starter and expansion? Or just the starter?

[twilit arch]

both starter and expansion

[neon fog]

I believe all purchases are seperate per platform

[faint flare]

Wraps up arr stuff, and sets up for heavensward and later

[west fox]

Lol omg really, ok thanks for the info!

[neon fog]

yeah its rough

[astral cedar]

doesnt even give decent exp i wanna be done with this

[warm snow]

It's not supposed to give good exp

[faint flare]

That so you don't overlevel

It didn't even GIVE xp before

[warm snow]

This is all the patches of content released over the 2 years between arr and hw

It's ALL level 50 contenr

You don't need the exp

[astral cedar]

its torture

[vague wedge]

where to report?
in Gold Saucer event Cliffhanger,
the bombs are visually missing,
but the bomb still explode with sound and pushed me off the platform.
3 times already now.

[warm snow]

It gets better around 2.4 the stuff before that is rough

[faint flare]

That's just how snapshotting in the game workds

[waxen siren]

Quick question, how do patches work in this game? Is the expansion released with the post story or do you have to wait for it?

[warm snow]

I still really enjoyed the ct

[heavy wadi]

that's not a bug, it's just how snapshotting/aoes work

[warm snow]

Expansion releases that's x.0

[faint flare]

Post story Is the patches after expansion lauches

Which come, on average every 3 months

[warm snow]

Then we get patches every 2-3 months with more content for 2 years

[heavy wadi]

would also suspect a bit of latency, as well

[waxen siren]

So within the next few years?

Ah okay 👌

[vague wedge]

it take 2-3min to load back to the platform everytime.

wasted time

[warm snow]

These act as an epilogue for the xpansion and the prologue for the next expansion

[faint flare]

6.1 would be like

February

[warm snow]

We're currently in 5.58

[faint flare]

Or something

[warm snow]

The last patch of shb

With Endwalker arriving as 6.0 in November

[heavy wadi]

6.1 is probably late jan/early feb

[warm snow]

Normally it would be out by now but <CURRENT YEAR>

[cold river]

i made it too floor 61 in POTD, if i reset my save I can start at floor 51 right?

[heavy wadi]

first raids, presumably, dropping in december

[faint flare]

Yes

21st for savage

[warm snow]

They confirmed december

[waxen siren]

And would there be raid gear that slowly increases ilvl? I noticed in Kugane that I could get something called sigma gear that was lower ilvl than the scaevan gear

[warm snow]

Cuz Christmas tier again...

[heavy wadi]

perfect, I can get into savage this tier

[faint flare]

Ilvl goes up every major even patch

[warm snow]

Poetics gear is the best tome gear of OLD expansions

[faint flare]

So X.0, X.2 and X.4

[warm snow]

It's available for old expansions to make clearing the patch content easier

400 was the final item level cap in stormblood

[waxen siren]

So the current gear will be available with poetics after ew release?

[faint flare]

Yes

[runic cairn]

yes

[warm snow]

Yes

[faint flare]

Cryptlurker will be poetics

[waxen siren]

How would I get them before then?

[warm snow]

It'll also get a reaper and sage weapon added

[faint flare]

Revelation tomes

[warm snow]

Weekly tomes

And/or savage raids

Also you have to augment the gear separately using coins from alliance raids or again savage raids

[waxen siren]

Got it, was a bit confused because I saw so many options for level 70 gear

[warm snow]

It would have been the same in hw

[faint flare]

Those are all the different tiers that were added

First tier of tome gear goes to hunts

[warm snow]

Shire was the best gear at the end of hw

[faint flare]

Second tier is the lowest poetic gear

[waxen siren]

Ah ok, I’ll prob work on them slowly for glamour reasons then

[faint flare]

Third tier is the highest poetics

[leaden ginkgo]

how can I make max collectability for grade 4 skybuilders' hatchet

[warm snow]

You'll need to do the savage ones for dyable versions

[warm snow]

Gathering collectables have their own ui, it's very straightforward

[leaden ginkgo]

it's for crafting

[rough patrol]

Is there something specific I can farm in Omega raids in Stb, or is it just a very cool fight?

[chrome island]

Correct me if I’m wrong, but there’s no reason or benefit to craft something in HQ if it’s not being worn for the stats (ie fashion report or glamour), right?

[paper pollen]

roughly how long does it take for SE to answer a ticket? I bought SHB in wrong region and made a ticket to have it changed

[dawn gazelle]

is this

good for my sch weapon atm

[runic cairn]

right. it'll look the same either way

[queen fern]

I just unlocked the Ishgardian Restoration.

How do you gather the starred materials?

I have the entire Trailblazer Set + a Titanium Pickaxe.

But my gathering rate is still 0%.

[warm snow]

Honestly, not really 485 is a pretty low item level considering the starting item level for Endwalker is 500

[regal pawn]

Also

[stray carbon]

you can get the diamond ex wep for 525 il

[regal pawn]

Crit over DH

[warm snow]

I'd recommend doing more of the relic quests to upgrade it

[stray carbon]

and the augmented exarchic for the 520

and finish relic

[warm snow]

Also yeah, dhit isn't very good for healers

[stray carbon]

for 535

following the bis plan for sch is best

in balance

[warm snow]

Direct hit only effects attacks, whereas determination or crit benefit both healing and attacks

[hollow igloo]

I just bought a mount in mogstation and havent received it.. ( its been 5 hours ) I received the other stuff I bought but not the mount.. where do I report?

[forest owl]

does anyone know a good delubrum savage discord for primal im having a hard one finding one on reddit

[warm snow]

Did you get a key/horn?

[brittle umbra]

how many days does it take to lvl from 70-80 by just doing the daily roulettes?

[dawn gazelle]

it has maxed crit already

[left whale]

Iunno, like 8 days maybe?

[warm snow]

Mogstation items can take up to a few days to show up, especially on aether where the server strain is some of the heaviest

[hollow igloo]

I bought the fire bird and didn't receive anything

[dawn gazelle]

im planning on doing that eventually im just saying for now

its crit-DH-Det for sch i heard

[hollow igloo]

yea but I received the clothes I bought from there but no mount

[stray carbon]

atm its best if you got a wep thats 520 at least

[warm snow]

The mogstation would have said allow up to x days

[stray carbon]

485 is pretty low il by present standards

[hollow igloo]

I understand that, but I received the other items I purchased

but not the mount

[warm snow]

Separate items, separate deliveries

[hollow igloo]

even though it was bought at the same time?

[warm snow]

[warm snow]

It's in one of the menus

[hollow igloo]

i think thats for reporting players right?

[warm snow]

No

That's for reporting. Period

[hollow igloo]

the options are report players or leave a suggestion

or report bug abuse

[last sapphire]

is seraph and the associated ability seperate or do they overwrite existing abilities like on summoner with phoenix/firebird trance?

[chrome island]

You didn’t get a whistle or anything on any of your characters (if you have alts)

[regal pawn]

Seraph and ability are seperate, sadly

[hollow igloo]

I just saw the bill and one item set was sent to my account the other was sent to Final Fantasy XIV

did I just accidentally gift someone a mount?

[wheat plume]

max level materia for crafter and gatherer is also 8 ?

[last sapphire]

rip this is my bar https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/871380820512866314/875157457876434955/unknown.png

[regal pawn]

mine rn

[little swift]

They overwrite things though

[regal pawn]

Does it?

[last sapphire]

1 slot, 2 abilities lol

[little swift]

Whispering Dawn gets an icon change

[regal pawn]

I might be stupid but i never noticed t hat

[little swift]

Basically all the fey abilities are "stronger"

[last sapphire]

yea but the two level 80 abilities i mean

[regal pawn]

ah wait yeah

[last sapphire]

i need to bind seraph and constellation

[little swift]

Consolation is its own button

[jade quartz]

Those abilities are additional, they do not replace the regular faerie skills

[last sapphire]

tbh i can throw sleep in the bin

[jade quartz]

You can use all of them

[leaden ginkgo]

is brightlinen better than hand king crafter set?

[robust flume]

I am completely stuck... can anyone help on this one?

[regal pawn]

you can more sprint and mount to a different hotbar

And use a different key for them

[last sapphire]

it feels weird though

[regal pawn]

Teleport and return can be moved to a seperate hotbar and left unbound

Same with the summon fairy spell

sprint
mount Shift + \

granted i have a uk keyboard so there's a button there

[little swift]

Sprint being bound and macroed is better

Sprint sucks on its own

[regal pawn]

sprint macro, what?

explain pls

[little swift]

!faq sprintmacro

[zinc orbit]

Sprint is nice when macro'd

Sprint won't queue like most standard actions. Give this macro a try for slightly better responsiveness:

/ac Sprint
/ac Sprint
/ac Sprint
/ac Sprint
/ac Sprint
/ac Sprint
/ac Sprint
/ac Sprint
/ac Sprint
/ac Sprint
/ac Sprint
/ac Sprint
/ac Sprint
/micon Sprint```

[regal pawn]

ah

[little swift]

Tldr sprint doesn't queue and acts like a one line version of the macro

[regal pawn]

yeah, i never had an issue so far but good to know

Also, quick question regarding macros

[last sapphire]

sure cast doesn't seem that necessary either tbh

[little swift]

It is

[regal pawn]

wtf is the difference between individual and shared????

[last sapphire]

most of your healing is oGCD for scholar anyway

[little swift]

Shared goes across characters

[regal pawn]

oh
so useless for most people without alts

[little swift]

Its more macro space if you use that much 🤷‍♀️

[regal pawn]

well

i'm sure there's 198 duties in the game so 198 explanations it is

[spark frost]

which ones should i prioritize

its for drk

[primal gull]

Doesn't really matter

[little swift]

Doesn't matter, heavensward relic is for glam now

[primal gull]

You aren't going to be using that weapon for its stats

[little swift]

If you really wanted though you could tier out how much skill speed needed for 5 gcds in blood weapon then go crit > dhit > det

[spark frost]

fair, was gonna use it for glamour ye, have activated acc so most likely the first SB weapon will be better

[regal pawn]

Pretty much

The only relic that matters is the most recent one

[primal gull]

You need a total of 240 stats allocated to finish that step, I normally just pick 3 random ones and give them 80 each

[desert ravine]

is there a way to find out how many ppl are in my current map/instance?

[wheat plume]

how many hours to do everything needed to get ShB relic weapon at max ?

[carmine ore]

i believe yours is at "G"

[desert ravine]

barely any ppl joining critical engagements

[cobalt willow]

which of the DPS classes has the fewest abilities in their rotations?

I'm struggling to make sense of the rotation guides since I'm pretty new

[inner imp]

Hey hey, how well do you need to know the mechanics to do unsynced tsukuyomi extreme?

[primal gull]

MCH or DNC, most likely

[regal pawn]

Not sure about hours but
If you include the ivalice raids, you can easily knock out your 1st relic in a week

[robust flume]

Yeah I found it, but thank you! None of the sites I looked up had those locations...

[regal pawn]

All the relics after that are 3-4 days if you really want to put your head to it

[cobalt willow]

hmm. I've read that MCH is pretty garbage if you've got high ping

[little swift]

Have to do the selenomancy phase correctly once if you have a full 8 people

[fossil swift]

how difficult are collectables to craft

[vague wedge]

how do i store item onto storage on trial edition ?

[inner imp]

Thank you :D!

[primal gull]

Yes, MCH should be avoided if you have very high ping

[carmine ore]

correct, there is part of the rotation that reduces the GCD and you have to spam abilities quickly

[cobalt willow]

how's RDM in terms of button complexity?

[carmine ore]

but DNC is super fun

[wintry chasm]

You don't. Best you got is you can put gear in the glamour dresser basically in innrooms

[primal gull]

RDM is one of the easier jobs in the game, it has a decent number of buttons but is very easy to pick up and play at a basic level

[spiral inlet]

How

do I play thjios

[hollow igloo]

what section of uldah is the inn loacted that contains the dresser?

[cobalt willow]

I definitely have my eye on DNC, but I've heard that it's not great if you've got another DNC in the group

[carmine ore]

RDM is like 5 main buttons

[spiral inlet]

can I scratch

all 4 pieces?

[primal gull]

No you only get to pick 1

[twilit arch]

no, you select one spot

[spiral inlet]

oh

[carmine ore]

multiple DNC is just fun

[cobalt willow]

oh yeah?

excellent, thanks gang

[carmine ore]

you just dancer partner the other dps

and your buffs dont overlap unless you have the same partner

[primal gull]

yeah, multiple dancers is fine, as long as one of you isn't partnering the other dancer

[wintry chasm]

Steps of Nald, all innrooms are at the adventurer guild/bar

[carmine ore]

so just make sure you partner someone else (hell, even the tank sometimes)

[primal gull]

(and as long as you're not overlapping technical step buffs, iirc those don't stack)

[carmine ore]

DNC mitigation cooldowns dont stack (shield samba), but also dont stack with MCH (tactitican) so no real problem there either

[carmine ore]

and yes you are correct, you cant stack DNC buffs with another DNC either

<--- DNC main 😛

[faint flare]

You can partner the other dancer

Standard step stacks

As the giving and receiving buff is different

So in a 4man. Yes partner the other dancer

Not the tank or healer

[hollow anvil]

Can you guys remind me what Spiritbond does?

[faint flare]

Let's you make materia

When it's full

[hollow anvil]

Like, I can break it down into materia?

[cunning loom]

it's free

doesn't destroy the item anymore

[hollow anvil]

oh, interesting

[cunning loom]

you just pull out a free materia at max spiritbond with the materia extraction action

[hollow anvil]

so use Materia Melder and choose item and just get a certain amount?

[cunning loom]

materia melder is a separate mechanic entirely

[hollow anvil]

gotcha

extraction, got it

does it reduce Spiritbond back to 0, and I have to work it back up again?

[cunning loom]

yes

[hollow anvil]

cool, thanks

[cunning loom]

rule of thumb is that higher level gear needs more spiritbond

but tbh i wouldn't worry about it

think of it as a freebie

[untold willow]

how do you check your gathering rating? i need 290 or above for my fishing quest

[faint flare]

In your stat page

[untold willow]

ah ty

[hushed zealot]

ohyah, weird wonder

Does Bozja provide gear

[faint flare]

Yes

[leaden ginkgo]

im in adamanoise and a fc i wanna join is in cauctaur, is that not possible unless i switch to it? they are both in aether

[hushed zealot]

Good gear? or oudated ish?

[faint flare]

Zadnor has the good gear

Gear from Cll is outdated

[heavy wadi]

you can get ilvl 525 gear from zadnor

[faint flare]

Delubrum gear is decent

[hushed zealot]

i been out for a while so

[faint flare]

Castrum is 495, delubrum is 510 and Zadnor is 525

[hushed zealot]

I know that weekly tomestones, crafted/Market gear and Zadnor

[faint flare]

Fcs are server locked

[hushed zealot]

Which would you suggest?

[faint flare]

Zadnor if you progressed far enough for it

Otherwise yoy can farm Eden promise or nier raids

Promise is 510 and last nier raid is 520

[deep dove]

Hey guys, i reached level 50 and finished msq before 2.1 patch, should I buy ironworks gear?

[carmine ore]

weekly tombstones and upgrade with Nier raid coins for 530, then fill with Zadnor 525 while waiting on the weekly tombstones

[faint flare]

Yes

At least get a weapon, chest and legs

[hushed zealot]

Whats the limit of Zadnor gear?

[faint flare]

You get enough poetics from your first castrum and praeotirum to get a weapon immediately

[hushed zealot]

Like is it farmable or not quite?

[carmine ore]

ironworks is solid, yes

[carmine ore]

very farmable

[faint flare]

It's farmable

[deep dove]

Yeah i had enough poetics for weapon so bought it

[faint flare]

Just no accessories

[carmine ore]

just run Dal over and over

[hushed zealot]

mmmmh

Gotchas

[carmine ore]

and yes no accessories so buy those first with your tombstones

[safe fjord]

why is it when i put my password into the launcher it says it is wrong but as soon as i put the same password and my one-time password it works?

[deep dove]

for poetic farming just do roulette right?

[carmine ore]

and hunt trains...

[faint flare]

And side lv50 content

You get bonus poetics on first clear

[heavy wadi]

because your otp is 2fa, if you enable it you need to use it each time you log in

[faint flare]

If you have a one time password you must enter it everytime

[shy heron]

having trouble desynthing armor, it's always greyed out regardless of level. any ideas on why that might be? I can desynth fine as blacksmith

[safe fjord]

but it says it is optional

[deep dove]

as in side quest dungeons?

[faint flare]

It's optional to set up

Once you have it you must enter it

[safe fjord]

oh alright ill try it out

thank you

[faint flare]

Yes those extra dungeons

[safe fjord]

kisses you softly on the forhead

[raven sage]

You need to be at least level 30

[carmine ore]

requires different crafters to desynth different items. you unlocked all crafters?

[deep dove]

Thanks, appreciate it

[astral cedar]

is there anything worth using gil for in game?

[carmine ore]

market board minions and mounts

and houses

[faint flare]

Being lazy

[astral cedar]

._. oh

[heavy wadi]

and housing

[faint flare]

Gil is the lazy many way to get thigs

[shy heron]

oh duh i think i was trying to desynth leatherworker and weaver equips nvm

[heavy wadi]

if you're into it

[faint flare]

And houses

[carmine ore]

and leveling crafting

[astral cedar]

rip free trial life

[leaden moth]

how do you pronounce levemete

[astral cedar]

yea i want a house

[upper frigate]

like levemete

[leaden moth]

im saying leh veh met

[carmine ore]

i have always said lev-mate cause its sounds like its your friend

[heavy wadi]

leave-met-teh

[leaden moth]

that also almost sounds like love mate

[carmine ore]

there are channels for that too

[astral cedar]

do all mounts have the same move spd or no?

[faint flare]

Yes

[narrow jay]

lehv' - meet

[faint flare]

At the end of the day they're the same

[carmine ore]

all mounts same speed

[narrow jay]

Mounts all have identical movement speed, but individual players may have faster movement speeds unlocked through things like quest progress or riding maps for specific zones

[astral cedar]

ok might as well use chocobo then

[jade quartz]

Leave-meet

[carmine ore]

you sure you dont want a Lunar whale?

[astral cedar]

i aint got $50 to use on a mount

[carmine ore]

psssssh it only cost me $35

[chrome island]

Are the Alexander raids something that should be done unsynced, or?

[jade quartz]

Leve is an archaic spelling of “leave” in the sense of permission—you’re being given leave to do this task on behalf of the adventurers’ guild

And to mete something out means to dole it out, to hand it out

A levemete metes out leves—they hand out permission notices authorising you to do a job.

[carmine ore]

most people do them unsynced these days

[faint flare]

Normal mode can be duty finders

Savage is party finder unsynced

[carmine ore]

^ this

[astral cedar]

42 now

[carmine ore]

well damn. guess EW got some serious hype about lunar things

but i still recommend one

did you know that lunar whales eat houses?

[modest light]

[chrome island]

Aethernet

[carmine ore]
