[patent citrus]

just register

[jade quartz]

Becomes a resource you spend on attacks later. At first it just shows if you have tank stance on or not.

[tacit tide]

Hey guys, I just finished leveling /gearing my combat job and I want to jump into gathering. Any tips what should I focus on leveling? I'd like to make some gil, because I'm always broke (:

[tidal gull]

Oh right, after teaching my chocobo an attack, do I need to use it, or will it do it automatically? I can't tell whether it's using it or not.

[jade quartz]

Open the crafting log (N on keyboard), select a recipe, synthesise

[patent citrus]

auto, just make sure it has free stance buff

[jade quartz]

Then use crafting skills to fill the progress bar

And the quality bar to get hq

[leaden ginkgo]

So defiance = tank stance?

[jade quartz]

Yes

[faint flare]

!action Inner Beast

[zinc orbit]

**Inner Beast** : lvl 35 WAR (50 Beast Gauge) (2.5 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Delivers an attack with a potency of 350.
Beast Gauge Cost: 50

Powered by XIVAPI

[faint flare]

It expands when you get this

[tidal gull]

If it does, can it swap between stances and do both?

[patent citrus]

better to just leave it free stance

[tidal gull]

I noticed it keeps healing me

[patent citrus]

if you choose healer stance, your chocobo won't attack at all and only heal

[tidal gull]

and I want it to attack

[jade quartz]

Use free stance

[dusty shard]

all my squadron is at least lvl 45 or higher, why am I struggling with trying to complete lvl 40 squdron mission

[patent citrus]

yeah, it will heal you if you lose hps

[tidal gull]

Since I'm WHM, I can heal myself 😛

[jade quartz]

The chocobo will heal when needed

[dusty shard]

am I missing something ?

[patent citrus]

you better off focus dps-ing

[jade quartz]

And otherwise attack

[patent citrus]

and let your chocobo heal

[dusty shard]

some1 plz help

[patent citrus]

since your chocobo attack is worse than your attack

[tidal gull]

kk

[patent citrus]

but they can keep you alive

even as a healer

[jade quartz]

You need to meet the stat requirements for all three stats

[boreal storm]

Flagged missions require all 3 stats filled

[untold willow]

is there an NPC that sells crystals (crafting) or should i buy from mb?

[jade quartz]

There’s no NPC

Mb or gathering

[dusty shard]

i know, i'm asking why are my squadron stat so low despite being 5 lvl over the mission level

[untold willow]

sighhhh rip, i just dont want to farm crystals so it seems like mb it is

[heavy wadi]

you either gather them, get them from mb, from doh quests or from some beast tribe quests

[jade quartz]

Train them to allocate the stats required

[tidal gull]

What about the tank stance? Is it any good?

[dusty shard]

is there a way to unlock higher squadron attrivute ?

[tidal gull]

The choco one I mean

[heavy wadi]

do note that people sell them on the mb in massive stacks

[jade quartz]

No

[dusty shard]

is 280 the max ?

[boreal storm]

Yep

[jade quartz]

Chocobo will fail to take aggro

Tank chocobo is useless and nonfunctional

[tidal gull]

cheers

[patent citrus]

yeah just level healer skill tree

they are the most useful as a healer

[untold willow]

yeah im looking rn and i did not realize u could sell 1k quantites of stuff lmao

[heavy wadi]

yeah only crystals are like that

[devout lichen]

how much does an apartment cost if you buy it from fc house

[faint flare]

FC room is 300k

[jade quartz]

300k for fc private room

[faint flare]

Apartment is 500k

[dusty shard]

how the hell are my squadron too weak besipte having 5 level over the mission, even the squdron calculator say i'm too weak

[devout lichen]

can fc members enter my room

[faint flare]

Yes

[dusty shard]

hell i have 1 unit on lvl 50

[faint flare]

Unless you locked it

[dusty shard]

is there some sort of secret GC squadron mechanic i'm missing ?

[faint flare]

Good chemistries

To boost stats

[dusty shard]

holy fuck, i can;t even get all stat req for lvl 30 mission

how scuff is this mechanic

[patent citrus]

need to train them to fit the stats req

can't brute force it

[boreal storm]

Switch out the team members

[dusty shard]

i'm 15 level over the req

[boreal storm]

Different stat distributions

[dusty shard]

this is bullshut

[jade quartz]

You’re picking bad members

Do your math.

You should not have any trouble at that level

[boreal storm]

And then you reach the 50 flag mission

[prisma hill]

use the training

[dusty shard]

i tried the calculator

[jade quartz]

Pick the right squadron members

[prisma hill]

Are you sure you are training them ?

[dusty shard]

it just say my team is too weak

[jade quartz]

Use training to reallocate stats

[prisma hill]

the training increases the stats

[patent citrus]

There's a squadron calculator??

What are they for?

[boreal storm]

I didn’t need it

[prisma hill]

and you can relocate stats with training

[dusty shard]

https://schorny.github.io/ffxiv-squadron-optimizer/

[faint flare]

To see what training needed

[obsidian patio]

Finds out ideal trainings to do

[patent citrus]

ohhh

[dusty shard]

there is legit something wrong with my squad

[prisma hill]

The training boosts their stats

[dusty shard]

no shit sherlock

[boreal storm]

Just change the members

[jade quartz]

Train them and use them intelligently

[boreal storm]

Have different classes

[prisma hill]

Calculate what the mission needs

[boreal storm]

Something

[jade quartz]

Just. Do the math

[prisma hill]

and pick the right guys then

relocate stats via training, profit.

[dusty shard]

i literally use a calculator design to do the calculation for me and it just say my squad is too weak

[prisma hill]

maybe try recruting people with different classes, they have different stat alocation

[tepid stag]

anyway to turn down the chatter when theres many players are around without completely disabling ambient

[prisma hill]

to fit the holes

[jade quartz]

Then you probably used the calculator wrong

Or you have a ridiculously unbalanced set of classes somehow

[boreal storm]

Send a pic of your members

[prisma hill]

I kept all the 3 defult npcs in my squadron through the whole thing.

4*

[jade quartz]

3

[prisma hill]

You need 4 npcs to do missions.

There had to be 4

[jade quartz]

There are 3

You have to recruit a fourth

[radiant viper]

@dusty shard something that happened to me occasionally when I started was that the calculator readings would be wrong because I forgot to update my squads xp because you have to manually do that. Because of that sometimes I'd be one or two trainings off of the calculator deal.

[patent citrus]

take the ss of your training board

[dusty shard]

the stat is on top right

[prisma hill]

I had 2 healers and 2 tanks

[jade quartz]

You only have one magic member

Should still be doable though

[neon holly]

i unlocked "the copied factory" alliance raid for shadowbringers. It says there's 2 more..... are the other two unlocked by doing the quest to do the copied factory raid?

[jade quartz]

Yes the questline is linear

[prisma hill]

need to finish first raid to unlock the second

follow the questline

[prisma hill]

What's the needed allocation?

[pale vessel]

How hard is Ruby ex compared to Miseria ex ?

[jade quartz]

Slightly easier I’d say

[zinc orbit]

[pale vessel]

Nice. Thanks

[prisma hill]

and you are missing points?

by how much?

[boreal storm]

So they’d need 235/225/240 in squad stats at the minimum with their training stats

[flat cloak]

learning how to tank. anyone know how to lvl faster? im lvling a dark knight ><

[prisma hill]

Dungeon spam

[ripe hound]

Does anyone know where I can find an Omni Healer BiS set with no Relic?

[prisma hill]

Join FC to get XP boost buff too

Other than that deep dungeon and beastribe quests.

[flat cloak]

sigh i was hoping it wouldnt be that

o well stone vigil all day today til 50 XD

[prisma hill]

though i prefer dungeons as deep dungeon kind of boring

[ocean herald]

hello guys, want to ask, how to reset chocobo color? mine is currently at royal blue, but want it to celeste green, is it cheaper to just reset if its available or change from current to desired color? thank you

[faint flare]

You don't do stone vigil all the way to 50

You do dzaemal at 44 and Aurum vale at 47

[heavy wadi]

at the least do dzemael, if you're trying to skip aurum.

[prisma hill]

yeah, unlock the l 44 and 47 dungeons

[raven sage]

It may take less fruit if you do it from the current color

[ocean herald]

hmm, alright thank you

[prisma hill]

https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Dzemael_Darkhold

[wanton niche]

does rathalos work unsynced?

[dusty shard]

how do people farm tons of grand company seal

[proud willow]

Sure does

[boreal storm]

Expert delivery

[dusty shard]

lvl 50 crafting need so many G seal

[prisma hill]

you can sell green gear for seals

[raven sage]

@ocean heraldIf it's not then just feed it a Han Lemon

That'll reset the color

[thick dove]

yo whats the fastest way to get to abalathia's spine I saw that there's an entrance in ishgard but I don't have it unlocked yet

[jade quartz]

Those are Heavensward areas

[heavy wadi]

you have to do msq

and it'll take you there

[jade quartz]

You must progress the MSQ to reach them

[warm snow]

EVERYTHING is locked behind main story progress

[thick dove]

yeah I'm on a main story quest that wants me to go there but idk how to

[heavy wadi]

it tells you where to go

or it should, at least

[jade quartz]

What quest, whereabouts, what entrance are you trying to use

[thick dove]

my cords are 29 20 in ishgard and I'm on a quest called meeting the neighbors

[boreal storm]

Just follow the quest

And you’ll go where you need to

[jade quartz]

That quest begins in the Sea of Clouds

You’ve already been there

Did you not attune to the aetheryte in Camp Cloudtop?

[rustic hornet]

I have seen people putting down waymarks during combat (on diabolos for gates for example), but when i am trying to put down waymarks from the Waymarks window during combat i am unable to, is there any more to it?

[thick dove]

wait I think I figured it out there may be a quest tied to the entrance

[jade quartz]

If not, speak to the airship ticketer in Ishgard, the pillars and seek passage to cloudtop

There’s not.

You should have attuned to the aetheryte

So you can teleport there

[proud willow]

You can't place Waymarks during combat but you can put Signs

[boreal storm]

Always attune

[granite dock]

Hey, can I DM to someone who can help me with ff14 steam purchase? I'm asking for DM because I tried a lot of things to fix it so I think I have to give a lot of information about the situation.

[jade quartz]

But if you forgot to do that you can speak to the airship ticketer at the airship landing, The Pillars, Ishgard

[fair blaze]

Hey does anyone know the name of the twinning remix song by soken?

[heavy wadi]

it's called a long fall

[opaque fiber]

How long do mog station purchases usually take to arrive in mog mail?

[prisma hill]

a few minutess for me

[opaque fiber]

my friend waited 30 mins, what should we do?

he didnt get it yet

[honest summit]

Where is the ironworks vendor in Gold Saucer? I cant find them

[granite dock]

Registering/downloading guide didn't solve my problem, what do I do?

[prisma hill]

The fantasia I ordered came within 10 minutes of me loging in.

[boreal storm]

There isn’t one?

[opaque fiber]

oh rip

[honest summit]

I read one was there and that I needed to talk to them to get the Regalia

[faint flare]

There isn't

[prisma hill]

yeah best check out in store how long it can take, if it passes the timer, report it to a GM

[faint flare]

Plus the regalia isn't back yet

[boreal storm]

15 collab hasn’t happened yet

[faint flare]

It's not September 13th yet

[honest summit]

Ok

[jade quartz]

At first before you unlock all the op spells, sure

[molten vale]

can you purchase an APARTTMENT for the Fc

[faint flare]

You need the good spells

[molten vale]

or only houses

[faint flare]

Aka primal spells, aetherical mimicry

Eruption, shock strike, phantom flurry, Nightbloom, j kick... Then bristle song of Torment... Tingle whistle triple trident... Nuke of choice... Magic hammer...devour pretty good...rose of destruction

Blue is more burst damage than sustain dps

[solar kindle]

so machnist supplies team support with movement buff?

[patent citrus]

only off-battle

Poloton

[twilit garnet]

can someone tell me where this is

[faint flare]

Oh I see a ton of useless and wasted slots

You only need 1 220 potency nuke

[warm snow]

Ice spikes is garbo

[warm snow]

Sos chirp, aqua breath and veil

[patent citrus]

what you want

so when do I get the endwalker code?

1 week before release?

[faint flare]

During early access

Be a lodestone post about it and everything

[patent citrus]

ok ty ty

[last brook]

If I do the in-game marriage thing, do I have to wait long, like a few days wait or something?

[faint flare]

There's leves everywhere

Combat leve stop exist in stormblood onwards

Cause they're fucking trash

[warm snow]

No

Just kill overworld mobs

[faint flare]

Overworld mobs give you 10x xp

[warm snow]

They have a stupid huge exp multiplier for blu

[twilit garnet]

can someone tell me where this is please?

[faint flare]

Looks like Isle of umbra, near where the magic pot is I think

[leaden ginkgo]

why are all my skin colors weird compared to the video im watching?? https://i.imgur.com/MU01UfH.png

[somber barn]

when playing rogue, should you turn into ninja asap or staying rogue is a valid option as well? should you always ''upgrade'' your class or not? ( sry im new)

[twilit garnet]

the 2 races u choose at the start

u are probably on the 2nd one

[faint flare]

You NEVER stay the class

Otherwise you're locked out of THE REST OF YOUR SKILLS

[near tiger]

Each race has 2 clans

[leaden ginkgo]

yeah got it thanks

can someone tell me how many up this is like from the bottom. im having trouble finding this specific one

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/287679207432257538/881650624951889980/unknown.png

[pearl thunder]

about the 8th or 9th up it looks like

[leaden ginkgo]

is this it?

or one higher

feels like shuold be higher

but idk

[jade quartz]

Put them side by side in paint or something

[leaden ginkgo]

i did bu ttheirs is a different scale

so didnt work

btw c an you use .dat files to import someones preset charactr

[jade quartz]

So select and shrink

[sweet leaf]

is there an updated list for Novus upgrade tasks anywhere?

[acoustic thorn]

how is levelling to 80 via bozja compared to dungeons?

[jade quartz]

So that they’re the same height

[jade quartz]

Bozja is generally much faster

[acoustic thorn]

What are the exp sources from bozja?

[jade quartz]

That is comprehensive

[sweet leaf]

it's inaccurate

[patent citrus]

how?

[acoustic thorn]

the resistance questline for the relics dont give me any exp, only mettle

[jade quartz]

How so

[sweet leaf]

i started doing Garuda EX and it's giving "Gentle"

[patent citrus]

CE, Skirmish, CLL, Dalriada

[jade quartz]

Skirmishes and CES of course

[acoustic thorn]

Thanks

[jade quartz]

Do Tam-Tara

[sweet leaf]

is it possible to solo Syrcus Tower?

[jade quartz]

Or Ifrit or Sastasha if they have the bonus window

[jade quartz]

No

[sweet leaf]

how do i know what the bonus window is

[jade quartz]

You run it once and check

[celest coral]

Curious. At the end of say MSQ or raid, if you already have a rare card in your inventory, is it possible to roll for a dupe?

[runic prawn]

i have my anemos weapon fully upgraded but gerolt wont talk to me on pagos. any idea? im done with anemos story too

[celest coral]

Or should I sell the ones already in my inventory first

[jade quartz]

Yes

[celest coral]

Ah okay. So I can hoard

[lunar nexus]

Don’t do CLL or Dal for EXP contrary to what the above person recommended, do FATES and CEs

[jade quartz]

Start the Pagos story

[lunar nexus]

CLL and Dal take a lot of time for the relatively small amount of EXP they give you

[outer lodge]

does anyone know of like a plate looking type of armor i can get for casters and healers?

[calm hull]

Is there a quick guide or a flow chart for the basics of white mage?

[lunar nexus]

Dal can take like 40m and gives you as much as a CE or two

not worth

[sweet leaf]

Alliance

at least Alliance arm pieces look armoured

not the body pieces

[storm cloak]

are you not allowed to add friends and party up with people when u're on the trial or is there's somrestriction to the firneds list

[wet grotto]

Nope

[faint flare]

You can if you own the game

[patent citrus]

yeah, that's the social restriction

[faint flare]

People who own the game can invite and friend trial people

Just not the other way around

[leaden ginkgo]

https://i.imgur.com/ZnkSzSw.png what race is this or can all races wear this hat

[patent citrus]

looks like hyur to me cause of the ears

[leaden ginkgo]

you can see the ears?

dufuq

[faint flare]

Nothing is race locked

[jade quartz]

That’s a Midlander Hyur but all races except Viera/Hrothgar can wear that hat

[faint flare]

Only viera and hrothgar can't see helmets

[leaden ginkgo]

false. some hats dont show up on some races

[surreal kettle]

is there anyway to make it to where my mouse moves my camera like in normal games?

[faint flare]

Yes but they can still equip it

[jade quartz]

Hold down either mouse button.

[faint flare]

It just doesn't show on viera or hrothgar for now

[surreal kettle]

so thats a no then i guess

[faint flare]

This isnt TERA

[jade quartz]

You can’t make it do it without holding down a mouse button

[faint flare]

So no

[surreal kettle]

rip

[jade quartz]

Because then how would you click menus and objects

[lunar nexus]

Most MMOs are like this

This isn’t game specific

[jade quartz]

That wouldn’t function

[surreal kettle]

i play ESO so its completely different

[lunar nexus]

🤷‍♂️

[faint flare]

Eso is first person

[surreal kettle]

its 3rd?

[sweet leaf]

wait it's not alliance, i need to check my glamour dresser

[jade quartz]

It’s first person/over the shoulder third

Not like this game

[surreal kettle]

oh well, guess i gotta deal with dated mechanics

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[jade quartz]

lol?

Different type of gameplay my guy

[faint flare]

Welcome to normal mmos

[jade quartz]

Not dated

[heavy wadi]

it's not dated, it's an entirely different game.

[jade quartz]

Tab target mmo not action

[heavy wadi]

welcome to tab target mmos.

[rancid onyx]

where can i find lvl 60 dummies?

[surreal kettle]

low first impressions

[jade quartz]

Ok

[heavy wadi]

[jade quartz]

Not necessary, you can use the level 1 ones at Summerford Farms

[weary jungle]

what is the sprint macro?

[heavy wadi]

!faq sprint

[jade quartz]

!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```

[patent citrus]

doesn't include bolt 👀

[heavy wadi]

wait, that works for bolt?

[rancid onyx]

where is that?

[leaden ginkgo]

why do people use a sprint macro whats the point, also is tere a way to come someones exact character

[patent citrus]

no it won't work for bolt

[faint flare]

Cause sprint can't be qued normally

Cause it's wacky

[jade quartz]

It’s near the top of your teleport list

[faint flare]

Macro makes it slightly bettee

Plus controllers do it so they can slap it onto L/R3

[jade quartz]

Macro simulates queueing a little bit

With the repeated lines

[patent citrus]

this is for bolt 👀

[lunar nexus]

autotranslate sprint in macro

[jade quartz]

[lunar nexus]

excuse me what the fuck

[faint flare]

Auto translate works in macros

[jade quartz]

Why would you try to combine them

Wtf

No

[sweet leaf]

what is bolt

[lunar nexus]

I know it just feels wrong

[leaden ginkgo]

is there a way to copy someones exact character as i see a really nice base character i would love to copy

[jade quartz]

Just make a separate bolt macro

PvP hotbars are separate anyway

[faint flare]

Pvp sprint

[lunar nexus]

No

[jade quartz]

You’re not doing yourself a favour with that lol

[patent citrus]

i use my left analog of sprint >.>

[lunar nexus]

They would have to give you the options they chose

[sweet leaf]

gotcha, ty. lol i don't play pvp

[jade quartz]

Oh for controller

[patent citrus]

i put this on my slot 98 macro

[jade quartz]

I guess

Still cursed af though

Will be unresponsive

[leaden ginkgo]

what should i do to attempt to copy it then

[lunar nexus]

#questions-and-help message

[patent citrus]

wait how is that unresponsive?

🤔 am I missing something?

[faint flare]

Cause it reads line by line

[leaden ginkgo]

idk the persons ign so that wouldnt be an option

[lunar nexus]

Then you can’t

[jade quartz]

Bolt will be delayed by 13 frames every time

[lunar nexus]

Talk with them or make a best guess

That’s your options

[solar kindle]

Whats the hardest range class to play?

[jade quartz]

Subjective

[solar kindle]

@jade quartz in your subjective opinion, what is it?

[leaden ginkgo]

they havent lpayed in 8months so cant talk to them

[jade quartz]

Probably bard

[heavy wadi]

subjective, do you find button spamming or managing dots harder

[sweet leaf]

i'm an idiot, it was the Alliance Armguards of Aiming that look armoured and i thought it was casting

[frigid path]

Bard I suppose

Even then Bard's not too complex

[lunar nexus]

Are you expecting us to be able to pull their character info out of our ass if you can’t talk to them and don’t know their ign

You’re not giving us anything to work with

[jade quartz]

Then too bad

[untold willow]

is there a way to turn off just FATE music and not all battle music?

[river scaffold]

hey all, can someone help me with a PS5 technical question?

[jade quartz]

Nope @untold willow

[leaden ginkgo]

i have a screenshot of the character from their https://ffxiv.eorzeacollection.com/glamour page but other than that idk

[jade quartz]

So make your best guess

[untold willow]

rip but ty

[untold willow]

u can probably copy them pretty exactly then if u have a screenshot, was it their outfit or appearance?

[leaden ginkgo]

sorry i dont understand the last bit

[leaden ginkgo]

face/hair etc

[untold willow]

[wanton niche]

buildin up some macros for changing classes, is there a way to get a alchemist icon somehow?

[prisma hill]

Chara files get saved, if the person can send you the file you should be able to copy it, i guess?

[fading cairn]

Afternoon! Why does my armor, sword and shield have the wedge and bigs logo on it? I just noticed its appeared

[leaden ginkgo]

yeah but like mentioned they havent played for 8 months so i dont have a way to contact them

[vernal urchin]

You're wearing armor made by Garland Ironworks!

[patent citrus]

add classjob at the end of the micon

like /micon alchemist classjob

[prisma hill]

Well, then just do it manualy, there aren't that many customasation options in reality, liek 4 faces to chose from lol

[wanton niche]

WOW, thanks m8

[jade quartz]

It’s literally called Ironworks armour 👀

That’s the ironworks logo

Cid Biggs and Wedge’s company

[river scaffold]

can anyone help with a PS5 technical issue? I'm just confused around some of the editions of the game

any help would be appreciated ^^

[patent citrus]

throw the question :/

[fading cairn]

aww gotcha. was confused since I never noticed it before until I finally got my full set

[sweet leaf]

https://ffxiv.eorzeacollection.com/glamour/49126/heavy-armor-healer
https://ffxiv.eorzeacollection.com/glamour/1663/armored-healer-set

[leaden ginkgo]

true but then their's hair skin color etc

eyes/ eye color

etc

[river scaffold]

I just got the PS5, and I want to play FFXIV on it. I know I have to repurchase the game, can I just buy the shadowbringers expansion and apply that to the free trial version of the game on PSN?

[faint flare]

No

[wanton niche]

@patent citrus do i need to use the "wait 2" for some safety or can i just let the macro close the 2 hotbars right after changing the class?

[patent citrus]

need complete edition

[idle flax]

why do you need to copy it exactly lol. just go for something close that you like

[faint flare]

You need complete to upgrade

[river scaffold]

damnit

[faint flare]

Shadowbringers is dlx

You cant use dlc for a game you don't own

[jade quartz]

You don’t need any wait command

[river scaffold]

well yeah I know, but I thought the trial included stormblood now

[faint flare]

Trial isn't ownership

[river scaffold]

well, its alright

[patent citrus]

yeah but have a habit of using micon at the last of the line, but I forgot for what

[faint flare]

And it only has heavensward and arr

[patent citrus]

you are using it on the first line

[jade quartz]

Micon goes at the end because it can

Putting it at the front delays the macro by a frame

[patent citrus]

oh right that

but is that how wait works

I thought you suppose to use like wait.3 or something

instead of wait 3

[jade quartz]

You can put a wait on the same line as another command

With <wait.3>

[patent citrus]

oooo ok ok

[jade quartz]

But for the purposes of the job switch macro being used

You don’t need a wait command at all

[sullen moth]

how can I get a macro for rarefied koppranickel planisphere?

[river scaffold]

another question @faint flare sorry to bother you, but can I play on my existing account using the starter edition?

I understand I won;t be able to access shadowbringers cotnent

[faint flare]

Yes

[river scaffold]

awesome!

[faint flare]

Just login with your mogstation account

And follow the prompts to link it all

[prisma hill]

I use this for crafting macros

https://ffxiv-beta.lokyst.net/#/solver

[jade quartz]

Oh

Don’t use that

Straight up doesn’t work.

[lunar nexus]

That’s the outdated version for one

[prisma hill]

Why not? Works fine for me lol

[jade quartz]

Can’t make efficient useable macros.

You need to be crazy overgeared for it to work

And it’s inefficient

There’s no good autosolve option for crafting rotations

[lunar nexus]

And even the updated version doesn’t work that well, completely disrespects the length limit and will continue optimizing for quality well over 100%

[prisma hill]

Works fine for me xD

[jade quartz]

It doesn’t work fine for anyone

[sullen moth]

how do I use this thing lol

[toxic ice]

what should i build my chocobo as? im a dragoon

[jade quartz]

Maybe at like level 20

[sullen moth]

i'll try

[prisma hill]

just don't use the first macro you get and test it out.

[faint flare]

Always healer

[toxic ice]

thanks

[sullen moth]

how do I increase the level?

like

[jade quartz]

Look in #doh-dol-lounge pins to find leveling rotation macros

Don’t try to use the bad tool

[round musk]

Hey all, quick question about the discord here. How do i stop the "recommended things to do" pop up from coming up every time i open discord?

[prisma hill]

Got better ones?

[jade quartz]

What

[lunar nexus]

no

[faint flare]

Teamcraft

[sweet leaf]

wrong reply

[prisma hill]

You can limit the macro to not go past a certain threshold

[jade quartz]

It doesn’t work effectively

[sullen moth]

cant see a channel like this

[jade quartz]

Period

[sullen moth]

no no I mean in the tool lol

[jade quartz]

Get the DoH role

[prisma hill]

It works for lazy people like me, didn't have a problem

[faint flare]

Get the DoL/h role

[sweet leaf]

wait i

[sweet leaf]

i read things wrong i'm a dummy, i thought you were the one talking about chocobo lol

[sullen moth]

alright

ill try out this tool once

[prisma hill]

If there is a better tool, it would be nice.

[faint flare]

Called teamcraft

[sullen moth]

as I can afford this

[faint flare]

Everyone uses it

[prisma hill]

link?

[jade quartz]

Dude

Please

Use the rotations in #doh-dol-lounge

That tool is inferior and will not work for most purposes especially as you level up

[faint flare]

https://ffxivteamcraft.com/ literally first Google link

To teamcraft

[prisma hill]

All my crafters are over l 70 and it worked fine xD

[fair thunder]

Hi all have a question. Im working on my novus weapon. I did the 75 materia into the sphere scroll but im not sure what to do next. no quest or anything after completing it. Any idea?

[prisma hill]

It's mostly fine for leveling.

[jade quartz]

I can assure you it would’ve been much worse than just fetching an actual intelligently made rotation

[sweet leaf]

Take it to Jalzhan and he'll put the scroll into your weapon. It will then become a Novus weapon. After that, unequip it and talk to him to Soulglaze your Novus relic, and then you need to complete duties to get light for it to become Nexus

[hexed sinew]

Is daily frontline worth it all the way to 80 exp wise? Or does it fade off like some others?

[faint flare]

Roulettes don't fade off

They're always worth doing

[prisma hill]

Of course but there are so many variants that sometimes the premades won't work.

[hexed sinew]

Alright thanks, part of me was wishing it did lmao

[prisma hill]

unless they accounted for everything?

[faint flare]

They do

[prisma hill]

or just go by cp?

[heavy wadi]

that tool seems awful

[faint flare]

With enough cp you can make anything

At minimum stats

At guaranteed HQ (though the exarchic stuff ideally wants some HQ mats)

[fair thunder]

I was not clicking the correct option. Got it. Thanks all.

[sweet leaf]

np, i'm trying to farm all this light so i had just done it recently

[devout lichen]

is the diadem the best way to make money while also leveling gathering jobs at the same time?

[sullen moth]

wait

in this crafting optimized

optimizer

I typed in my stats

but now how do I type in the item I want to craft?

oh nvm

found it

[leaden ginkgo]

mentor moment

[unreal badge]

for anoyne using the mouseover plugin, does setting the base ability to say ruin work for when I cast broil 3?

[sullen moth]

oh it doesnt have it

lol

[leaden ginkgo]

As a summoner, is there any difference between Garuda or Ifrit as a dps pet

[faint flare]

Yes

A clear difference

[sweet leaf]

Garuda for aoe, ifrit for single target

[faint flare]

Garuda is aoe

Ifirit single

You will be swapping pets

[sweet leaf]

so garuda for mob packs and adds, ifrit for just a single boss

[prisma hill]

well some of the crafting glams sell for a lot.

Think you level miner faster by turning in collectables

and earn yellow scripts while at it

[devout lichen]

yeah but does that make me money

[prisma hill]

For collectables nope, level faster and gear up

[graceful sail]

What is centeruda? I see a lot of weapons refrain ultimate saying that. Is it Garuda?

[devout lichen]

I will continue doing diadem then, it's fast enough

[prisma hill]

You can sell Diadem mats for some profit, but you'd also want them for yourself too lol

[faint flare]

Keeping garuda in the Centre for stuff

[devout lichen]

well I dont need them right now

I just need money while leveling miner

[prisma hill]

No idea which mats sell the best

[patent citrus]

lv 80 probably

used to farm kupo voucher

[devout lichen]

honestly, some level 10 ones sell for pretty decent money, like 300 per

[agile laurel]

while i haven't heard the strat, I imagine it's relating to Garuda's position for the double mistral song, instead of the tank yanking her to the edge of the safe inner circle. Might be more profitable for early wake? Unsure.

[prisma hill]

but I'd focus on faster leveling first over getting money and getting scripts and the free gear

[devout lichen]

my miner is level 28 and diadem seems to be around 1k per minute which is not bad

[prisma hill]

it will be easier to earn more money if you are max level

[patent citrus]

yeah, and you can ignore equipment till you reach lv 60*

[devout lichen]

yeah but that is gonna take a while

rather level up and make money doing it

[prisma hill]

you level up quickly with miner and botanist if you turn in collectables.

[patent citrus]

although I'm not sure if upgrading early will give you more yield

[devout lichen]

it's already fast enough

[patent citrus]

use that manual that you get from job quest as well

[prisma hill]

Can you 100% at diadem at l 28 ?

the nodes?

[devout lichen]

yeah

[prisma hill]

it would be good to not sell those mats so you can craft firmament stuff to level your crafters though

[devout lichen]

I dont really care about that currently

I'm really just doing diadem cuz I feel like leveling miner and it's 0 effort money

[prisma hill]

also be sure to do the firmament fates

you can get items that sell for a lot

I got pants that sold for 700k x3

[devout lichen]

I havent seen any fates yet

are they rare or what

[patent citrus]

fetes, it has timer

if you leave diadem

[prisma hill]

there should be a timer when you go there

telling you whent he next one is, after they finish it takes 2 days for the next batch

[devout lichen]

the 3 hour long timer?

[prisma hill]

they take about 30 minutes and you get 500 of dem scripts

[solar kindle]

How team support from ninja?

[devout lichen]

is there some external timer for it cuz I dont wanna log on

[patent citrus]

Regarding the Tomestones of Revelation when does it reset?

[patent citrus]

type !reset on #kupo-bot-spam

[faint flare]

Tuesday

All weekly is Tuesday

[leaden ginkgo]

why is the recommended gear option recommending lower level gear?

[strange knoll]

I just got to the refinement step of my relic, can I change it later?

[warm snow]

Weekly reset

[patent citrus]

your main stats

[hollow pelican]

Hey, I think a scammer PMed me. How do I tell the GMs?

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/880077080384110592/881664851808759849/unknown.png

[glossy flare]

probably because it has more of your main stat

[warm snow]

Right click, report for rmt

[glossy flare]

main stat is all that option cares about

as should you tbh

[gloomy bridge]

Does anyone know if the Exarchic set is craftable w/ materials that are all harvestable or does it require materials that drop from dungeons/trials/raids and stuff?

[faint flare]

All mats are harvestable but 1 is via tomes

[glossy flare]

doesn't require drops, no

[faint flare]

Raids and dungeons never drop crafting mats for gear

Trials give crafting mats for their glowy weapons

And some furniture/barding stuff

[gloomy bridge]

Ahhh I see, thanks for the info!!

[leaden ginkgo]

why is the gear on the right better?

[faint flare]

It isnt

[leaden ginkgo]

well that's what recommended gear option says

[patent citrus]

hmm impossible

[solar kindle]

Stats i guess

Wait

[faint flare]

Recommend only sees main stats

[glossy flare]

are you absolutely sure it suggests that?

[faint flare]

Nothing else

[glossy flare]

it shouldn't suggest it tbh

[patent citrus]

yeah impossiuble

[glossy flare]

if it really does that sounds like a bug

which I doubt

[prisma hill]

ye strange, left is better

[jade quartz]

left is better in every way

[leaden ginkgo]

ok i discarded the one on the right, now it's saying this one is better

(right again)

[jade quartz]

uh

[leaden ginkgo]

is it because it's HQ?

[jade quartz]

can you show the recommended gear window

[leaden ginkgo]

okay

does it impact anything when it comes to armour?
like idk if i go biggest will it do something weird to armour like the bust size i mean

[glossy flare]

Does what impact anything?

[jade quartz]

wack

must be the HQ

[leaden ginkgo]

if i go with the biggest bust size like will it change how my character wears armour or what

[glossy flare]

not in a major way, no

[prisma hill]

it has higher vit

[spare loom]

I can't find the quest to unlock Garuda extreme? The quest giver is in new gridania?

[glossy flare]

the one before didn't

[leaden ginkgo]

could you elaborate please?

[prisma hill]

higher DH too

[patent citrus]

the right one has higher vit

[prisma hill]

Could be that?

[glossy flare]

no

[leaden ginkgo]

should be in waking sands or whatever

[glossy flare]

that feature doesn't care about substats

it has to be the HQ

which is indeed wack

[patent citrus]

vit isn't substats :/

[glossy flare]

yeah but the one suggested before had less vit

so it can't be that

[spare loom]

Is that in mor dhona?

[faint flare]

Heavensward Jobs and How to Unlock Them

Heavensward Expansion Jobs: Dark Knight (DRK, Tank), Astrologian (AST, Healer), and Machinist (MCH, Ranged DPS). These jobs start at level 30 and require the completion of the level 50 main scenario quest "Before the Dawn".
Since the 5.3 update DRK, AST, and MCH are now included in the free trial/Starter edition of the game, though the unlock requirements are still the same.

Job Unlock Locations:
Dark Knight - Ishgardian Citizen at The Pillars (13,9), quest name is "Our End".
Astrologian - Jannequinard at The Pillars (15,10), quest name is "Stairway to the Heavens".
Machinist - Stephanivien at Foundation (8,10), quest name is "Savior of Skysteel".

[leaden ginkgo]

should be an npc in ishgard

[glossy flare]

depends on how you want stuff to look

[leaden ginkgo]

lemme give you a ss of what i wanna do

[glossy flare]

there's neither up nor downside to whatever bust size you choose

[regal pawn]

it's subjective

🤷‍♂️

[glossy flare]

What looks "good" is subjective 😄

[regal pawn]

some people like booba

some don't

[opaque heart]

so I just killed that white woman in a raid at lv50, how many story quests do I need to unlock dark knight?

[leaden ginkgo]

is the person in the screenshot's booba slide on lowest?

[glossy flare]

I have no idea tbh

[regal pawn]

you still got like 80 quests to do

[glossy flare]

because again, the bust slider doesn't affect stuff like that in any major way

[opaque heart]

80 quests is like how much work?

[patent citrus]

black outfit usually makes the wearer slimmer

[glossy flare]

go with what you think looks good

[upbeat shard]

how do i spend this warrior bar?

And are shaded when you dont

[upbeat shard]

im only lvl 33

do i already have it?

[jade quartz]

you're level 35

[upbeat shard]

35

[glossy flare]

about half of what you did already? kinda?

[upbeat shard]

xD

[glossy flare]

hard to say tbh

don't rush it though is my recommendation

[jade quartz]

it's a level 35 skill as you can see in the tooltip

[glossy flare]

that post-ARR content sets up future expansions and is important to the story

[slate arrow]

you need to be a warrior first

[jade quartz]

you wouldn't have the gauge if you didn't have the skill unlocked

[slate arrow]

and then you need to have done the relevant job quest

[opaque heart]

which boost will bring me from the end of vanilla story into finished dark knight?

[glossy flare]

Yeah, I just checked. The trait comes from the level but inner beast is from job quests

[upbeat shard]

so i dont have the ability now?

[slate arrow]

A Realm Reborn skip, but there's no level 80 job skip item

[glossy flare]

msq skip of ARR

[slate arrow]

you will have to do the last 10 levels + current expansion regardless

[glossy flare]

Check your skills menu

[jade quartz]

complete your job quests

[glossy flare]

also check your top left

the thing you posted
they have modded items

[slate arrow]

no, you need to have finish the ARR MSQ in order to access the Dark Knight job trainer

[leaden ginkgo]

which items

[warm cliff]

In the FFXIV fishing scene, is there anything that is considered cheating, bad practice, noob mistake or a big no-no?

[leaden ginkgo]

not rly

just put hook in pull out

ezpz

[regal pawn]

I know for a fact their 2b bottoms are modded
And i'm not sure about the chestpiece, don't remember seeing anything like that in game

[warm cliff]

crap

[sweet leaf]

is 9 minutes for 96 points really the best option for this...

[warm cliff]

i need something for a practical joke

[leaden ginkgo]

https://i.imgur.com/3MB2qaE.png

this is what theyre wearing

[regal pawn]

[boreal storm]

Replicas go in dresser

[sweet leaf]

there are NieR raids in the game

[slate arrow]

well, botting, but that should be obvious. besides, most people chase fishing for the achievements anyways, because there's a lot of planning and RNG involved for the rare Big fish

[sweet leaf]

with NieR enemies, NieR minions, etc

[patent citrus]

ah yeah edengate casting boots looks like that

[jade quartz]

I dunno how you could be expected to cheat at fishing

except botting obviously

[fleet ember]

its a lux, and anyway i cant even in dresser

[boreal storm]

Replicas go in the dresser

[glossy flare]

you cant store the actual relic

you need to buy a replica

which can go in there

[patent citrus]

yeah, need to buy the replica from the npc

[warm cliff]

ye, this doesn't work, ill look for something about real fishing maybe

[fleet ember]

ooooooooo where?

same where you did the quest

thx

ok ty love you

i was in panic

[regal pawn]

huh
didn't realise those pants looks like that

The node that the quest pointed out

[patent citrus]

I think it's either gerolt/the allagan ball

[boreal storm]

And mentioned you could buy replicas from

[slate arrow]

unless you skipped the cutscenes the game tells out that gerolt has been working on a node which produces replicas

after the 3rd or 4th step

[leaden ginkgo]

so theyre not modded?

[regal pawn]

nope

[leaden ginkgo]

i dont want any modded shit on my characters

can you get all variants of relic weapons as replicas? ie Veil of Wiyu Nexus replica AND Apocalypse Zeta replica?

[river vortex]

is it worth it to get the crafter/gatherer gc gear?

or can i craft it easily/much better stuff easily?

[sweet leaf]

it will hold you until level 58 where you can swap to adepts gear

[boreal storm]

HW gear has a jump from ARR

[river vortex]

yeah, problem is that i can only consistently work with hw stuff when im allowed inside coerthas

[sweet leaf]

also there isn't really any gatherer gear from gc

only a hat

and a ring

[river vortex]

otherwise i have to wait for stuff on the market

[jade quartz]

If you mean the level 50 stuff

[river vortex]

yes the lvl 50 stuf

[jade quartz]

I’d say just skip it and buy level 51 vendor gear in Ishgard

[river vortex]

so finish ARR before continuing crafting?

[jade quartz]

Yeah

[river vortex]

ok

[sweet leaf]

yeah do the job quests for sure

[river vortex]

then idk what to spend gc lol

[sweet leaf]

prisms or cordials

sell on market for gil

[river vortex]

like, i hit the 50k cap in like 2 days

ohhh

[sweet leaf]

also yeah vendor gear or gear from HW crafting/gathering quests can be melded. i actually forgot you can't meld the gc gear or adept gear

[river vortex]

ah

so all around not a good investment

[sweet leaf]

adept gear is il130 equip level 58, but it's outpaced by il 100 level 55 gear that you can meld

[leaden ginkgo]

so what do i do to lvl a new job to lvl50
as idk what to do lel asking as someone said potd is best and others say its not

so im confused

im lvling dps atm

[boreal storm]

Then Potd

And dailies

[leaden ginkgo]

dailys?

[faint flare]

Roulettes, beast tribes etc

[leaden ginkgo]

idk if i haveany dailys unlocked other than these 6 https://i.imgur.com/tnSMtLp.png

is there a point to lvl up beast tribes because idk i do not see the point

[faint flare]

Mounts

And other rewards

[leaden ginkgo]

eh

idrc about mounts to much

[boreal storm]

Dyes from ARR

[faint flare]

Their shops expand as you rank up

[boreal storm]

Minions

Furniture

[leaden ginkgo]

i dont care about mounts or minions or furniture

[boreal storm]

HW guys give glam

[leaden ginkgo]

which beast tribes should i be doing then like which are for combat boys

[faint flare]

Emotes

[boreal storm]

And last but not least, lore

[faint flare]

Vaths and vanu for hw

Ananta and kojin for stormblood

[leaden ginkgo]

im lvl13 on my dragoon

so.. ARR?

[boreal storm]

ARR it’s everyone but ixal

[glossy flare]

Beast tribes are not for gear upgrades though, just fyi

[molten dome]

anyone know why I can't examine the destination to do this relic reborn quest?

[pure zenith]

and you only really use em for exp during stormblood and up

[leaden ginkgo]

laughs in random bs gear

[celest coral]

Ok. So now that I'm 80 and I got the i510 exarchic gear. Should I be throwing materia into my gear?

[boreal storm]

What the fuck

[leaden ginkgo]

[boreal storm]

Do your class quests

[patent citrus]

upgrade to 520

[leaden ginkgo]

NEVER

[patent citrus]

augmented exarchic

[celest coral]

I'll look into that

Is it expensive?

[leaden ginkgo]

but actually though where can i buy vendor lvl10 gear

im neked

[patent citrus]

basically just trade your exarchic stuff + some allegories to upgrade to augmented exarchic

[boreal storm]

Any of the starting cities

[celest coral]

I see

https://ff14-gatherer-and-crafter.com/how-to-get-augmented-exarchic-gears-il520/

And yeah, the job quests handed out some lvl VII materia

[patent citrus]

you can easily combine them with augmented cryptlurker + blade depends on the class you are playing

no need to spend a lot of gils on the gears

[celest coral]

... Esp with expac around corner, huh

I have too many jobs to get max gear for by expac release. I think I'll just focus on 2-3

Rest I'll just gear up with tombstone armor eventually post-expac release

[patent citrus]

yeah but not sure what you are planning to do

might be the best time to learn the best substats for your class

[celest coral]

Substats?

[patent citrus]

since you reached 80 and all

things you've been ignoring lv <80

[agile laurel]

crit,direct hit, determination, sks/sps

ilvl does not quite mean anything

[modest drift]

can i buy any other lvl 70 gear then the poetics ones?

[patent citrus]

but best is poetics

[agile laurel]

if you have the currency for them, yes, but remember - the kugane vendor simply exists to make it easy to see every single level 70 gear exchange

It will include gear from raids and such

[sweet leaf]

hunting log

[pallid parrot]

Can I do the main quest with 1 other friend the whole time?

[modest drift]

ye! I just want a normal gear to have enough ilvl for a dungeon

and don't have enough poetics

[patent citrus]

can't MSQ is solo stuff mostly

you'll get instanced

[sweet leaf]

most duties you may want to run from duty finder but if you both know what you're doing, you can duo most dungeons up to 50

[agile laurel]

the msq is generally solo quests, interspersed with solo instance battles, interspersed with dungeons

and your friend won't be able to help you

[agile laurel]

for everything that isn't a solo instance battle, you could certainly go around with a friend, but there wouldn't actually be any difference besides 'you're both just doing the msq in the same place at the same time'

[sweet leaf]

all of the solo instances are easy enough, except that first fight in swiftperch, screw that one

it's really easy to fail because the duty info doesn't say anything about keeping specific npcs alive

so new players often fail that one because they either didn't heal him or take aggro from him

[pallid parrot]

So in reality I cannot level with a friend? And if we do a dungeon grab 2 more?

[sweet leaf]

you can definitely level with a friend

[patent citrus]

You can, but not the "whole time" like what you said

[sweet leaf]

there are infrequent solo instances but you will be able to reparty afterwards

[agile laurel]

Basically. While you could go around with a friend, there would be no difference or benefit other than 'they're just there'.

Won't appear in your cutscenes and you won't really give any benefits to another

I like playing classes that also offer team support. Right now I am looking at summoner,machnist,ninja,dragoon. Which is better at that?

[sweet leaf]

and if you do a dungeon, you can either queue to find two more random party members or you can duo the dungeons if you play smart

[agile laurel]

Summoner or ninja, but honestly if you want support disregard all of that and go dancer

[faint flare]

!faq utility

[agile laurel]

Dancer is support incarnate

[sweet leaf]

ninja has a debuff for the whole team to use and dragoon has a buff for a single teammate

[patent citrus]

if you want DPS from each role

[leaden ginkgo]

DRG has a group wide buff

[patent citrus]

Ninja, Dancer and RDM

[sweet leaf]

dancer is solid dps support

summoner doesn't get anything that buffs allies until 72

and that's just some regen for 15 seconds

[faint flare]

Devotion

[sweet leaf]

scholar gets a nice group crit buff

[faint flare]

At 64

[sweet leaf]

oh right

[faint flare]

Or something

[sweet leaf]

i forgot that

[patent citrus]

Melee, Ranged and Magic DPS

[sweet leaf]

yep

[faint flare]

Phoenix regen is meh

[solar kindle]

But machnist loses the support race from my options, huh?

[sweet leaf]

Bard is excellent support, and frequent

[faint flare]

Just refer to the utility sheet above

[patent citrus]

devotion is like weaker trick attack and it's every 180 secs instead of 60 secs

but they have res

[sweet leaf]

oh yeah, summoner and rez mage can res allies to help healer focus on healing more

rdm only at 56 tho

[patent citrus]

but RDM is better

[sweet leaf]

yes

[cosmic abyss]

where can i buy low level weapons

[sweet leaf]

if only you carry super ethers

vendors sell them in the market stalls, battlecraft i think is their title?

[agile laurel]

machinist has nothing besides the standard role-action party damage mitigation

it's the samurai equivalent of ranged physical, it trades everything off for higher damage output

[cosmic abyss]

i have looked at a battlecraft vendor but there are no weapons

[solar kindle]

Ty for responses

[inland sage]

hey everyone!

[sweet leaf]

i'm going to have a look and check which vendor it is

[cosmic abyss]

i am in limsa and the battlecraft vendor only has armor

[inland sage]

i'm trying to get discord to detect ffxiv online, but i can't add it? do i have to run one or both as admin for this to work?

[cosmic abyss]

do i need to go to another city

[sweet leaf]

there should be one in each city

i'll have a look, one sec

[slate arrow]

Sometimes it just doesn't work

I find using Xivlauncher usally fixes that

!faq xivlauncher

[zinc orbit]

Official Launcher Giving you Trouble on Updates?

Try this alternative 3rd party launcher

[sweet leaf]

i can't even find a vendor in gridania that sells armour, the battlecraft vendor only sells weapons there. i'm checking limsa now

[slate arrow]

Check the clothier

[sweet leaf]

Faezghim at 6.5, 12.0 in Limsa sells weapons

[marsh cosmos]

Not sure if this allowed but does anybody know someone who is selling a small house in Hyperion?

[cosmic abyss]

thank you

[slate arrow]

Xivlauncher, aka Quicklauncher

I linked it above

[rustic badge]

this squadon training is throwing me off. I can't balance it out to even do any missions. raise one, another goes down,..etc,.. is it all just about see sawing stats every single time in order to do missions?

[patent citrus]

only for flagged mission

for other missions, don't need to fulfil all 3

[rustic badge]

hmm,.I thought I tried it,..ok,..I will try once done training,.ty

[stiff fiber]

for the Manipulation skill, do I have to do the crafter quest for each different crafting class to unlock it for each class

[obsidian patio]

Yes

[stiff fiber]

thinking about skipping the story but are the crafting quest storylines any good?

[slate arrow]

I'd say they are

[stiff fiber]

what say are the best ones, ill give it a read

[heavy wadi]

it's pretty subjective tbh

i'd just do them all and the ones that really bore you you can skip

all of them are pretty interesting tho imo

some are comedic, others are murder mysteries

[obsidian patio]

I liked CUL/GSM as a whole

[patent citrus]

You can buy DoH/DoL skip now?

I never knew

[obsidian patio]

Nah
