[sleek needle]

It's your fc

[twilit arch]

its free company housing thing

[quiet acorn]

How do i switch my hot bar to the pvp one when im not in the wolfs den

[sleek needle]

Basically ventures but for the fc

[sick linden]

the % number that you see is your damage percentage, which is how much you've dealt relative to everyone else, so if you're above the tanks/healers you're pulling your weight easily

[twilit arch]

if you're not in a pvp instance or wolves' den, then you dont

[heavy wadi]

pvp skills are only usable in pvp.

[pulsar crater]

Fates better than hunting log for xp?

[shut panther]

no

[heavy wadi]

for early levels, no.

[shut panther]

hunting log is 100% the most efficient exp when it's available

[junior herald]

If you have the plugin does anything show on your screen or do you have to go check some file after the dungeon?

[agile laurel]

ACT has an additional Overlay Plugin which puts an element on your screen

[sick linden]

there's multiple plugins that will give you a graphical DPS meter UI

[agile laurel]

ACT on its own does not do that

[junior herald]

awesome thanks guys

[sturdy brook]

How does Miqo'te last name works? There's like a dozen Tia's who almost certantly aren't connected

[lethal mist]

Does the Moogle Tribe ever give more than 50 point quests? Like how Sylphs increased?

[sick linden]

yeah, you need to get the OverlayPlugin that'll show the graphical display, and then there's several customization options

[agile laurel]

Nuhn - indicates breeding male of tribe

Tia - indicates everyone else

[sick linden]

i use one called "kagerou" that i like quite a bit

[agile laurel]

Only applies for Seekers, mind you

Keepers have a different naming convention

[twilit arch]

no, expansion tribes give a flat amount of rep. it doesn't increase with higher ranks

[agile laurel]

Oh, and only males. Female Seekers typically take the name of the Nuhn but can't quire recall how that works specifically.

[faint flare]

There's a naming Convention thread on the forums

That explains them

[twilit arch]

yes, female seekers take their father's name

as their last name

so y'shtola rhul

[lethal mist]

Thanks, I guess I'll just accept all the quests then to get 3 more after the increase in rank.

[twilit arch]

y'rhul being her father

[sturdy brook]

Does the letter before ' pass around too?

[twilit arch]

Y indicates tribe

[agile laurel]

Y'shtola Rhul, in full, is telling you - Shtola, from the Y tribe, whose father was Y'rhul, aka Rhul from the Y tribe

[sturdy brook]

So G'raha is non-breeding Raha from tribe G?

[twilit arch]

ye

[agile laurel]

Bingo.

[sturdy brook]

Interesting

[sturdy brook]

Oh, so the FIRST name of the father becomes last name?

[twilit arch]

Yerp

[sturdy brook]

hah

[agile laurel]

The names are often shortened to omit the first letter and apostrophe in an informal setting

[twilit arch]

Nunh/Tia are specifically for male seekers

[agile laurel]

a close friend of Y'shtola would likely address her as Shtola

[twilit arch]

since its a title/indicates status

[sturdy brook]

What does "tribe breeding male" exactly means? Are they into harems?

[twilit arch]

can kind of think of seekers like lions

[agile laurel]

short answer, it means exactly as it says it is

however a Nuhn does not necessarily have a leadership position

[twilit arch]

in that you have a one to a few males, and a bunch of females

dont quite strictly follow the concept of a lion pride, but its the rough basis of it

[sturdy brook]

Does all races have gimmiks like this?

[agile laurel]

while the opposite is equally valid, it's possible for a tribe to have a Tia speaking for them, while the Nuhn just occupies, er, their role

Not really

[void lake]

Do you guys know what to do with old seasonal event quests in the journal? Do I just…. abandon them?

[twilit arch]

yes

[agile laurel]

There are naming conventions, but I don't think any as 'information-based' as miqo'te

[twilit arch]

can't complete old seasonals

[void lake]

okay thank you

[last sapphire]

au'ra kind of do

[twilit arch]

hmm, xaela au ra give a bit of information on each tribe

[last sapphire]

ye

[faint flare]

https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/63112

If you wanna read more

[agile laurel]

true but I was saying it isn't quite the same

[sturdy brook]

I noticed Roegadyn have telling names

but not all

for some reason

[last sapphire]

yea

[sturdy brook]

Like there are alot of Roegadyn with normal names

[agile laurel]

roegadyn convention varies heavily by tribe

[last sapphire]

there's seawolf and hellsguard

hellsguard usually have the adjective-noun names

[open coral]

Sea Wolves tend to be the ones with Welsh-looking names (lots of consonants)

[last sapphire]

yes

[twilit arch]

sea wolves actually work pretty similarly

its just they use the old roe language

[agile laurel]

Sea Wolf names are in ancient Roegadyn tongue, however let's call it Welsh

[last sapphire]

welsh + dutch kinda

[agile laurel]

there are some rules of thumb, like female sea wolves often have a specific word of a group in them, e.g sister/daughter/jewel/woman etc

[quiet acorn]

Bruh

[leaden ginkgo]

im currently a bit torn apart when it comes to tanking <60lvl dungeons
i usually have my own pace on pulling a pack or two and keep running further when they are almost dead

one dungeons my healer is bored running foward jumping and pulling
and other dungeons my dps flame me for running so much

i dont know.. i cant satisfy everyone, and especially the first type where people run forward and pull for me grind my gears

[civic garnet]

meanwhile i just took my screen name and the Russian word for "comrade" but i spelt it wrong

[agile laurel]

and their surnames are Syn/Wyn(father's name)

[quiet acorn]

Stop caring and do what you want

[last sapphire]

ignore them if they're being dicks about it

[faint flare]

You always pull minimum 2 packs, more if you/the healer is capable

Anyone else are dicks

[sturdy brook]

Ironic how many rules and ideas there is for all this, and then players just type "Big Booty" and it's done

[obtuse marsh]

Anyone here bought fantasia from the store? how much time did it took to arrive?

[open coral]

Melee dps (and caster dps, to an extent) are gonna get pissed off if you're running off when things are almost dead, because you'll be moving out of their attack range.

[leaden ginkgo]

my idea is that they have something left to do between the next pull, enemys only run so fast

[faint flare]

Chain pulling is bad

[leaden ginkgo]

guwss ill wait for enemys to die completely then

[faint flare]

People need that out of combat state

For Mp regen and stuff

Only pull when everything is dead

[open coral]

Nobody really minds not having anything to do for the few seconds it takes to get between pull 1 and pull 2.

It's often much more difficult (especially for caster dps) to keep hitting things while you're moving.

Because they literally can't

[faint flare]

Except with their few instants

[sturdy brook]

As a DPS, it's frustrating when you push cooldowns or placeble aoe, and THEN tank runs off to pull more

[civic garnet]

tank is the driver, healer is the gasoline, if ur not mindful of how much gas you got in the tank (where the healer is, like Line of Sight, how much MP they got, if they are being attacked by adds) your road trip (dungeon run) is gonna be a bad time

[twilit abyss]

What category is Delubrum Reginae typically in, in the Party Finder?

[civic garnet]

beyond that as a tank you shouldnt really be moving that much other than sidestepping to avoid cleaves and then back into origional position

[sturdy brook]

If you want to pull multiple packs don't stop after the first

[faint flare]

Adventure forays

The very last tab

[twilit abyss]

oh that's why i can't find it

thanks!

[leaden ginkgo]

kk i see, i am rightly to get flamed by my dps then

thanks

[open coral]

There are also "expected" pulls in most dungeons - either w2w or specific groups of mobs that you pull together and then stop with for various reasons.

So if you start doing something unexpected people are going to get annoyed.

[primal ermine]

Just do wall 2 wall and if the healer struggles cool it down. Struggling is rare tho imo.

[civic garnet]

meanwhile i just puill half the dungeon and go fellcleave

[open coral]

Depending on the dungeon, that might be expected.

[civic garnet]

ive been doing dps ques, its been..interesting sitting back and watching other people lead the way

[open coral]

Personally I'm not a confident tank, so I stick to 2-pack pulls, only going to standard pulls if I feel like the healer can keep up through my incompetence with cd utilization.

[sick linden]

speaking as a healer, the most important thing for me from a tank is consistency, tbh

[hardy scroll]

are there like resources i can find for using stuff like gshade to make the game look better while not tanking my fps

[sick linden]

a tank who does single/double pulls or goes completely HAM and pulls everything is fine, but tanks who do like, a single pull several times in a row and then run ahead to pull everything drive me nuts

[shut panther]

exactly, the solution is to always be ham

find the wall and sprint to it

[leaden ginkgo]

How hard of a grind is it to get the Law And Order's Armor from Bozja? Currently rank 10. Just curious how many days it would take

[shut panther]

you want dyeable/

?

if you don't mind waiting irl time it's not a massive grind because there's a weekly quest that gives you a bunch of the currency

if you're in a hurry it's a lot of running of a painfully slow feeling raid

[faint flare]

The normal armour itself doesn't take too long

[shut panther]

dyeable is a bit painful

[patent storm]

Best doh/dol gear made by players right?

[faint flare]

Crafted yes

[primal ermine]

How fast is a DRS run?

[faint flare]

Depends how smooth it goes

And how many deaths per boss to raise people

Average is probably 40mins or more

Since you got an additional boss to kill

[tender spade]

Tales of Adventure: One Paladin's Journey II If i buy this it will just boost my char NOT skip msq right? i dont wanna miss out on the MSQ

[queen fern]

Is it faster to rush to a dungeon's end to level or kill everything along the way?

[faint flare]

Right

[tender spade]

thanks ❤️

[regal pawn]

Remember to watch a guide

[tender spade]

yeah i will run lower dungeons too to practice on it 😄 tbh its mainly because i got some skins i want to use on it

[regal pawn]

Once you leave after killing hte boss, you're granted a loot sack

You take the loot sack to hte nearby bishop and you get cool loot

[vagrant crescent]

Oh ok. Thank you :D

[eager skiff]

the coin you get a the end of paradigm is once a week right ?

[vagrant crescent]

Where's my loot sack? Is it in my currency? Cause I don't see it, or is it in my inventory, or do I not see it til I talk to bishop?

[sick linden]

it's unlimited now

[faint flare]

Inventory after you leave

[eager skiff]

is it ? nice

[latent moon]

is there some macro you can make to put down waymarks at coordinates, or are those people just using some external thing?

[sick linden]

unless i'm misremembering, yeah

they always ease up on alliance raid restrictions at the end of expacs so people can get caught up on gear for going into the next expac

[latent moon]

also yeah, the weekly lockout is now only on the tomestone reward

[agile laurel]

You can save waymarker sets and place them out of combat

[vagrant crescent]

Well. I throw out all the sack looking thing without knowing, lol XD

Is the stuff you get from Bishop good?

[agile laurel]

It's in the same menu as placing markers

[agile laurel]

it's broadly, toys, trash, glamours

MOSTLY stuff also obtainable from other sources

[vagrant crescent]

I see, lol XD

Where is the bishop? Or is it in many different location?

[faint flare]

By the entrance

[boreal storm]

Right next to you

[latent moon]

i see, but are there only 6 save slots? i see people with 3 or 4 saves just for a fight like E9S

[agile laurel]

there's only 6 yes

[vagrant crescent]

I got the achievement for getting 100, yet I have 0 cause I threw them all away. Me sad, lol XD

[willow sparrow]

Can I make a macro that automatically casts Salted Earth at my character location?

[vagrant crescent]

Well ok. Thank you :3

[faint flare]

Yes

/ac "Salted earth" <me>

Repeat the line 14 times

[willow sparrow]

14 times? why

[regal pawn]

simulate queueing

[faint flare]

Cause macros don't skill que

[regal pawn]

Macros can't be queued up like normal skills

[latent moon]

i do mo -> t -> me for salted earth

just bc i find its nicer to have the options

[obtuse marsh]

i bought fantasia and sent it to the wrong character anyone had this issue b4?

[willow sparrow]

Can't I make macro use the spell icon?

[faint flare]

Add /micon "skill name" to it

Usually at the bottom so it doesn't delay the macro

[willow sparrow]

okay, thanks

[faint flare]

As macros work by reading it line by line, frame by frame

[willow sparrow]

It works, thank you

[hoary crypt]

So I just got to Ishgard, I have my character in a full lvl 130 set. Should I go ahead and purchase the 255 gear at the vendor? Or is the Tomestone people close?

[silver ruin]

tomestone is at the end of the expansion, so no its not close

if you're gonna purchase gear, get it off the market board, no quality gear from vendors inn terms of combat classes is like 20-30 ilvs lower than actually stated so you're kinda getting scammed

[hoary crypt]

Oh ok! That makes sense, they sell lvl 60 gear?

[silver ruin]

yea

[hoary crypt]

Since I am over leveled I can by stormvlood stuff then.

[silver ruin]

think ironworks is fine for the first two or so heavensward dungeons

[hoary crypt]

Ok 👌. Thanks!

[latent moon]

just curious- if you happen to have a BRD and WAR in the same party, is it worth delaying inner release or battle voice so they dont overlap?

[faint flare]

No

You never delay buffs

Unless it's the final use of the skill in a fight to line up with raid buffs for a bigger final burst

[latent moon]

got it

i suppose the best solution is to just not have a brd and war in the same party lol

[silver ruin]

uh

[faint flare]

No

[silver ruin]

that doesnt really matter

[faint flare]

It literally doesn't fucking matter

[pulsar escarp]

it's just worth doig your rotation properly so other shit aligns for more important phases

or rather with literally everyone else who benefits from it

[warm snow]

Wtf no

[covert pumice]

Does Deployment Tactics actually extend Catalyze too or only the usual Galvanize?

[faint flare]

Only galvanise

!action Deployment tactics

[zinc orbit]

**Deployment Tactics** : lvl 56 SCH (120.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Extends Galvanize effect cast on self or target to nearby party members.
Duration: Time remaining on original effect
No effect when target is not under the effect of Galvanize.

Powered by XIVAPI

[covert pumice]

So no big shields for everyone

[faint flare]

A critlo is still a bigger shield by default

It's just not ridiculously OP

Like it was in stormblood

[covert pumice]

So Galvanize is also larger when you crit

[faint flare]

Naturally

Cause you heal more

When you crit

Thus a bigger shield

Cause it's a percentage of what you heal

[flat basalt]

What do I do in the Isghard Firmament?
I check the Skybuilders board and it says everything is complete. There's a single yellow quest there.

Should I ignore the place or what is it for?

[faint flare]

It's for levelling crafters and gatherers

[boreal storm]

Leveling crafters

[faint flare]

You make the receipes

And turn in to potkin after raising their collectiblity

[jolly sorrel]

Of note, it's great to level those with.

[flat basalt]

Oh do you supply the ingredients/reagents as well?
What professions, could alchemy and cooking work?

[faint flare]

Everything

All crafters have their own receipes

[boreal storm]

All crafters have recipes

[flat basalt]

Ok, do I supply the reagents myself or do they have them for me?

[faint flare]

Gather shit in the diadem > approve the mats at the npc next to the diadem entrance > craft the receipe and raise collectiblity > hand to potkin

[boreal storm]

You enter a instance called diadem and gather

[faint flare]

Rinse repeat to cap

[flat basalt]

Sarcasm or are you saying using the Isghard Firmament is a good way to get levels?

[faint flare]

It's the best way to level crafters

Next to leves

[flat basalt]

Ah ok, so you don't have to go out to the world and collect reagents and stuff?

[spring lintel]

Is there a reddit post or compilation of questions yoshi p answered of the game?

[faint flare]

There's 1 mat that's outside the diadem

[boreal storm]

There’s one non diadem ingredient

But they’re easy to grab

You also get lottery tickets for your troubles

[silver ruin]

no cause the game has been running for 8 years that'd be way too many questions tbh

theres forum posts of q &as but i dont know of a compilation of all of them

[spring lintel]

the most recent ones maybe?

like 3 months ago or something

[silver ruin]

theres a section on na forums for that, hang on

[uncut dome]

is the leveling roulette still worth it on an alt when my main is 80? feels kind of bad missing out on tomes

[lone totem]

depends

if you still need tomes, then yes

if you don't need tomes, you should be doing it as an alt job

[silver ruin]

yea ok i cant find it, google is your best bet tbh

[faint flare]

Tomes are easy to get regardless from other means

[lone totem]

(the xp reward outweighs the tomes personally)

but hey some people really wanna get geared

[latent moon]

as long as youre doing 80 content aside from just roulettes, youll pretty much always be able to cap or at least get close on tomes for the week

[uncut dome]

gotcha, yeah i was wondering what people'

s takes were

[leaden ginkgo]

you can get tomes easier from hunt trains than roulette 😄

[lone totem]

depends on how new the content is

[faint flare]

Takes: I don't do any roulettes except expert

[uncut dome]

plus with exarchic stuff, i don't need tomes that badly right

[lone totem]

when a new tier comes out and people need to cap out tomes as soon as possible people will run all roulettes at max level to get as many as possible

[latent moon]

in general i always do normal raids on an 80 because the tomes are way better than the xp, but the rest are a toss-up depending on whichever you want more

[silver ruin]

not really

[uncut dome]

@silver ruin as in i would still need tomes?

[silver ruin]

no, you dont need tomes

510 is fine

unless you plan on doing savage

[uncut dome]

right, thats kind of what i was thinking

[lone totem]

by tomes I was thinking more like you were a fresh 80

[uncut dome]

i am

[latent moon]

exarchic is only 510, so if you want to do high-end duties you need tomes but everything else is p much fine

[lone totem]

like still in your artifact gear from the tempest

lol

[uncut dome]

im a fresh 80, but i bought 510 gear

bc im lazy lol

[lone totem]

ye, so you skipped needing tomes

... for now

[silver ruin]

yea

if you dont plan on doing savage 510 is fine

[lone totem]

tome gear can eventually upgrade to 530 if you're doing the non-savage path

from doing the nier raids

[uncut dome]

i probably will once i finish post ShB

[silver ruin]

you're gonna need tomes then

[lone totem]

so you will need to buy a full set eventually

[uncut dome]

But by then ill probably have enough for crypt stuff

[ripe hound]

If you want to do savage you just use allegory to upgrade the 510 gear

[lone totem]

a possible solution sure

but as far as I am aware, there is no 520 gear that is best in slot

for any job

(from crafted)

[ripe hound]

But yeah just remember don’t throw away your Exarchic gear after you upgrade

[ripe hound]

I think RDM and some Healer actually does?

But anyway, 520 is good starter gear for beginning savage

[uncut dome]

right bc i can convert it right

is 520 enough for savage?

[silver ruin]

yea

[faint flare]

More than enough

510 is bare minimum

[uncut dome]

so i prettty much wont need to tough cryptwalker

if i have exarchic

[rancid onyx]

any tips for not filling my inventory with trash? whenever i clean it and in like 2 days of doing stuff is filled again

[tall comet]

Gonna have to second this question ^

[outer mural]

clean it when you see it happen, not after yo ulet it pile up

there's no mystery setting that disables junk or autotrashes stuff

you'll just need to consistnetly clean it out when you see there's a chance

[alpine bobcat]

is there a vendor to upgrade old poetics gear? i have old shire and scaeven sets from before they added the vendors in each major city, just trying to save some poetics.

[faint flare]

Calamity salvager does it

[ripe hound]

I sell every single thing I can sell on MB

[uncut dome]

so if i have 510 exarchic, i can skip tome gear and just try to gear up with eden?

[ripe hound]

Imagine money is just an authorization token to use MB as storage

[ripe hound]

You will ideally want a mix of Revelation gear and Eden savage gear

But you can skip the lesser tome gear

[uncut dome]

@ripe hound thats because it's slow to get Eden gear, im assuming?

And not because one is superior to the other

[ripe hound]

However the lesser tome can upgrade your 510 to 520, research augmented Exarchic gear

[uncut dome]

Yeah i read up on that

[ripe hound]

Nah, it’s just because there is an extremely tiny difference in performance

[uncut dome]

So then my next question is, is it still possible to "convert" augmented exarchic?

[ripe hound]

As in, the pieces are both 530, but have different sub stats

[ripe hound]

?

[uncut dome]

so you know you in order to upgrade exarchic, you need to change it into a token first

which allows it to be upgraded into gear for any class

[ripe hound]

A piece of Augmented Exarchic can’t be traded for anything

Yeah

[uncut dome]

is that still possible after augmenting?

ah

[ripe hound]

Augmented is pretty useless once you don’t need them

[uncut dome]

because my thought was i could use it for my alt

[ripe hound]

I just dyshinth them lol

Nope lol

[uncut dome]

whats desynth

[ripe hound]

A crafter magic thing

[uncut dome]

but if i keep it non-augmented, i can convert it

[ripe hound]

Yes

[uncut dome]

so it could make sense to just jump from 510->520/530

Without upgrading, so i can keep exarchic for an alt

[ripe hound]

Yeah, in general most of us just grab the 520 Augmented Exarchic at end game

[uncut dome]

But then again, once endwalker comes out, 530 will be attainable via poetics right

[ripe hound]

Then put in random rev gear and Eden gear

Yeah

[ripe hound]

But yeah, it do make sense

However if you plan to do extreme or savage, the 520 augmented gear is worth it

The 10 ilv difference is still quite a lot

[uncut dome]

well im a fresh 80 atm

[jolly sorrel]

How does Blades gear compare to all that?

[uncut dome]

So i just started post ShB

[ripe hound]

Cool, you can use 510 now

In fact, if you don’t do savage or extreme, you don’t actually have any use for gear above 510...

[uncut dome]

right, someone was telling me that earlier

[ripe hound]

Yeah... like... it makes you run dungeons slightly faster...?

[wet grotto]

Blades can be good for mix and matching while you’re working on your BiS. It’s 525 so if you need the ilvl boost as well.

[civic garnet]

anyone got a good keybind/hotkey guide? Just looking for ideas since im trying different classes

[rancid onyx]

im on trial so rip

[junior herald]

Controller players: is there a way to quickly select the party frame and cycle through party members with my dpad?

[uncut dome]

i mean it'll take a while to even get a full set of base cryptlurker gear huh

[jolly sorrel]

Thank you

[wet grotto]

4 weeks or more I’d say

[uncut dome]

with a weekly cap of 900, i wont be able to finish even a base set for about a month

[fringe plaza]

is there a website for popular demand item on the market? like one that can tell you what you should buy with tokens/seals and sell them on market board?

[sick linden]

the keys i have bound to the hotbar are: QERFGCVXZ, 12345, spacebar, and my side mouse button. i then have shift and ctrl as modifier buttons for each of those buttons

[wet grotto]

Not really. You just have to find out on your own.

[sick linden]

those base keybinds along with the shift modified keybinds will give you more than enough buttons for almost every job in the game. i think PLD is the only one i have to use ctrl modifiers for consistently

[fringe plaza]

sad

[wet grotto]

Universalis is good for checking prices though

[faint flare]

Up/down dpad cycles through party members

[wet grotto]

Not real time, but it can be helpful

[sick linden]

here's what my keybinds look for WHM, for example:

[fringe plaza]

apperciated

[junior herald]

https://youtu.be/sHIuHvlD__E

[civic garnet]

thats not really what i was looking for, more like what most people run with/examples of UI's, was using the 3x4 hotbar layout with QERT for my aoe combo, and its just things like role skills vs class skills being alt vs cntrl binds etc

[junior herald]

this isn't ff14 specific but it's great general hotkey advice

[sick linden]

ah, okay, mb then

[civic garnet]

tank keybinds are easy, rest of the dps classes are a mindfield

[sick linden]

for DPS jobs and the like, i generally try to think about what actions i'm going to be hitting the most and ordering them in terms of frequency

and then put the most frequently used actions on the keybinds that are easiest to hit

[civic garnet]

yea im trying to identify the mainline "combo" and set that up as 1-4/5 and my AOE combo is QER and after that is where things get...iffy

[sick linden]

so my typical combo button for something like DRG is spacebar -> E - > Q, since it's very easy to hit without moving my hands away from WASD in case i need to move quickly

i personally save 1-5 for buffs or other actions that i use infrequently, just because reaching up to hit them constantly and then moving them back down to WASD puts strain on my hand

[civic garnet]

oh i got a mmo mouse so 1-6 is high traffic stuff+easy for me

[leaden ginkgo]

When is the next holiday and what is it?

[sick linden]

ahhh, okay, that simplifies things a lot then

[civic garnet]

probably why i was so confused by ur setup

[sick linden]

i have a steelseries rival 300 which just has two side buttons, so i've just rebound heavily around WASD to compensate

[wet grotto]

I’m assuming you mean event in the game, but next event should be next week and it’s called A Nocturne For Heroes

[cobalt badge]

whats the strat for getting geared for level 50 DoL? i have this blue armor for 50 ALCH i got from god knows where. but all i got from quests for FSH is a rod. Or is it the usual expansion thing and just get expac vendor whites

[civic garnet]

my setup, its really just keybinds for class skills vs role skills that seem to be problematic

[leaden ginkgo]

That is what I meant. Thank you! Can you tell me a bit more on what this is?

[civic garnet]

also the sidebar is a dropdown/hideaway menu macro

[wet grotto]

It’s a crossover event between FFXV and FFXIV

[faint flare]

For a event guide

For 15 event

[leaden ginkgo]

Thanks, I looked it over, seems I am missing it. But that is fine. I'll wait I guess.

[untold willow]

if i have already turned in the Near Eastern Antique can i make another one and turn it in again?

[faint flare]

Yes

You turn in enough to fill the bar

Then it changes

[untold willow]

ohh okay

ty

[junior herald]

For the gold saucer fashion challenges can i just buy everything I need every week from the market board? Or will I have to grind content for certain drops?

[faint flare]

Yes

[boreal storm]

Both

[faint flare]

They don't care where it comes from

Just get it

Not everything is tradeable

[junior herald]

okay cool thanks

[cobalt badge]

whats the strat for getting geared for level 50 DoL? i have this blue armor for 50 ALCH i got from god knows where. but the only blues i got from quests for FSH is a rod. Or is it the usual expansion thing and just get expac vendor whites. mainly asking about accessories though

[vagrant crescent]

Is Max Potion the best Health potion in the game for Trial users?

[fathom wasp]

How do you find out how many days left are on your Sub, seems hard to find, it shows me a bunch of irrelevant information like how long I paid, 90 Days which is obvious, I chose that but there's no Countdown?

[sick linden]

on the character select screen in the client, look in the bottom right corner

it should display how many days you have remaining there

[leaden ginkgo]

i just have subbed for 30 days there

[fathom wasp]

Nope, it doesn't

[wet grotto]

I had to craft or buy my own gear while leveling it up until I could just scrip gear. I used some gear they gave from the quests, though.

[leaden ginkgo]

but on mogstation front page:

[sick linden]

hmm, that's odd, it's definitely done it on mine before

[faint flare]

Recurring

[sick linden]

the recurring thing might be the difference

[fathom wasp]

Total Days Subbed 90 Days Until Next Rank 60, is all it says lol

[faint flare]

Once the time runs out it will take the money and give the time

[sick linden]

i have mine set up as a one-time payment

[leaden ginkgo]

yeah probably why

[vagrant crescent]

How do I add high quality item as a Macro Icon?

[fathom wasp]

So if you are on Auto Payment it doesn't show the Countdown? Interesting

[cobalt badge]

oof, i see thanks

[vagrant crescent]

Like High Quality Max-Potion for example

[narrow jay]

Alternatively, you can view it in the Mogstation. Go into the Square Enix Account Settings drop-down, click Account Information, go through the authentication. In the Payment And Service Fees drop-down on the new page, hit List Subscriptions, and it'll tell you when your sub end date is.

[ripe hound]

If I'm only trying to make a single item, are there any recommended crafter websites?

Like Teamcraft

I feel like Teamcraft if often a bit too convoluted when making a single item

[random notch]

Anyone have a clue to why I can't start the recollection step of shb relic? i've finished the memories but new quest isnt popping up

[still phoenix]

what happens when you finish all the hunting logs

[noble orbit]

what rank are you?

[boreal storm]

You get a useless ring, immediately put it in the armoire

[wet grotto]

Might have to do some side quests or reach resistance rank 10

[civic spoke]

What should I do with approved skybuikder mats?

[boreal storm]

Craft

[still phoenix]

how nad is it

bad*

[faint flare]

It still has old, removed stats on it

[boreal storm]

You have 0 reasons to use it

So don’t

[random notch]

i'm rank 17 already and in zadnor

maybe more quests

but wiki doesnt have any needed quests for it

[faint flare]

Do you already have the recollection step active for another job

[random notch]

nop this is my first relic

[faint flare]

Then it's all at zlatan

[random notch]

i have the augmented relic but zlatan is ghosting me :/

[heavy wadi]

there are multiple quests he offers

make sure you're picking the right one

alternatively, you may have it active already

[worthy raven]

(free trial user who's only level 25) should i try all classes or focus on the main story? i like unlocking the jobs because theyre pretty fun and chill but having to play with like 8 different attack classes and do all their quests seems daunting

[faint flare]

Do whatever you want

Story is top priority

[rotund trail]

Do you still get an additional 30 days if your purchase game for other platforms?

[neon fog]

Can I only get 1 of the 3 cards from Lewena in gold saucer?

[leaden ginkgo]

where is the best area for fates to get Haunting Memories of the Dying

[faint flare]

But you can level other jobs whenever

[opaque heart]

is there a bot command which shows me where certain monster is?

[faint flare]

Yes

[worthy raven]

got it, i wont stress it out too much then :)

[rotund trail]

@faint flare so I add say ps4 or Mac to mt account I can play on windows with the time?

[faint flare]

Yes

[rotund trail]

@faint flare ight cool thx.

[devout lichen]

game was like, hidden items can only be gathered once, but then I gathered 3 of them?

[patent storm]

Cape Westwind trial is sort of like raid right? It reqquires 8 people

[boreal storm]

No

Trials are just 8 man from here on out

[plush pebble]

is anything being done by SE to stem the bot problem? I'm a new crafter and it's a little disheartening when im gathering and the three other people on my node are clearly botting

[faint flare]

And how can you tell

Gathering is braindead as hell and just click the auto gather button and click

[plush pebble]

there is a rock between nodes to stop players using autolock. If you watch them bots will back up a tiny bit, mount their chocobo for 3seconds and then reposition. I watched them do this in sync for 45minutes

to put it bluntly it's kinda obvious

[faint flare]

Bots do get banned in waves but they always come back

[supple pebble]

If Im playing the game as trial, and then i buy a 30 day membership; After the membership runs out, can I still log in or would i be completely locked?

[faint flare]

Locked out completely

You can't go back to the trial after buying

[supple pebble]

Thank you. :)

[desert ravine]

first time seeing this in Crystal Goblin, did anything big happened?

[plush pebble]

crystal is getting rammed right now

all our servers are preferred

[faint flare]

All the new players are joining crystal now

And the transfers

[hot eagle]

with aether closed for new chars and crystal bein preferred I would say it's normal

[devout lichen]

do regular leves stop at level 50?

[faint flare]

And expected

[plush pebble]

SE needs to add more servers

[desert ravine]

i see, my first time seeing this more than 50+ queue in two years. why would anyone want to be in crystal anyways (assuming they like end game)

[faint flare]

They literally can't right now

[devout lichen]

because

[faint flare]

Crystal is fine for endgame

[boreal storm]

Combat leves stop after 60

[plush pebble]

literally can't?

[faint flare]

Yes

See pins

For their various responses

[plush pebble]

why did AWS go out of business?

[devout lichen]

oh right, I should have specified fieldcraft

[faint flare]

Tldr: semiconductor shortage

[plush pebble]

that is a bs reponse

[faint flare]

You literally can't buy servers at market price

Cause of the shortage

[desert ravine]

i actually want to move to aether if possibe, so i can see more than 7 lobbbies in raids lol

[plush pebble]

it's 2021

you don't host things on hardware anymore

[faint flare]

Well we do

So suck it up

[plush pebble]

they could literally spin up a AWS server to triage

[boreal storm]

Aether is congested, so that ain’t happening for a bit

[devout lichen]

if it only it was that easy

anyway, fieldcraft leves

where they went

[faint flare]

Ishgard

[devout lichen]

yeah I'm here

[plush pebble]

it is that easy.. that's how servers work

[craggy crown]

Where do the VMs / containers run?!

[knotty tundra]

So, about the endwalker early access, do players on it get to keep their progress once it releases to everyone or is it reset?

[plush pebble]

on amazons hardware which isn't in shortage

[faint flare]

And our servers are infamously bad and it's not so easy to move shit across

So suck it up

[faint flare]

Early access is literally the game launch

[craggy crown]

So we don't host things on hardware anymore, we host things on hardware?

[plush pebble]

if any environment can run a ff14 server then anything on aws can run it

[devout lichen]

there are battlecraft leves here but no fieldcraft or tradecraft

[plush pebble]

I get you are being overly pedantic but it's called cloud based for a reason, they are nnot literally clouds, you know this right?

[faint flare]

And we don't use cloud

[knotty tundra]

I'm asking bc another RPGMMO I play lets people try out an expansion early access but resets once it becomes available to the public. Thanks for the answer tho

[outer mural]

Early Access is quite literal
I can see where you 're coming from because it sounds like Steam Early Access ie it's testing but that is not the case

[heavy wadi]

#rants

you're not achieving anything by arguing here

[faint flare]

The game gets fully updated on the 19th

[marble pecan]

Whats the best way to find hunt trains? I'm currently playing in Primal DC

[heavy wadi]

this isn't an official server nor can we manifest new server hardware out of thin air

[faint flare]

Centurio hunts discord

[craggy crown]

I don't think it's being overly pedantic. Saying it doesn't run on hardware is just weird. As more services are on boarded to any cloud environment, there is a point where the provider needs to expand their physical footprint to keep up :)

more importantly: Is there a recommended guide for explaining how multiple jobs and exp and what not all works out? I kind of want to explore some of the crafting stuff, but I don't want to end up "spending" exp on "not paladin".

Might not even be an issue? Just no idea how the multi job stuff works

[marble pecan]

great, i'll try to find a link somewhere. many thanks

[faint flare]

#resources

[outer mural]

Not an issue and yeah check resources

[craggy crown]

thanks!

[outer mural]

the worst case scenario is that you spend rested exp on a class you did not intend to

[plush pebble]

when code is executed on a virtual machine that code isn't running on a physical machine

[outer mural]

but that is really hard to do

[manic hare]

JIM is moogle supreme the discord owner

[devout lichen]

alright well, I'm lost

[zealous harbor]

Soooo... i just reached 80 with all my gatherers and crafters got them saint gear and all master recipes do u guys have a hint for me on how to make gil now?

[faint flare]

Look at the market

[heavy wadi]

research your marketboard.

[faint flare]

See what's in demand

Make and sell

[heavy wadi]

^

[outer mural]

Target a market that sells on your server
I sell cookies because they sell constantly on mine

[faint flare]

As always

[outer mural]

you could get away with lignum vitae lumber spam

mythril file spam

[heavy wadi]

jim,

[faint flare]

Or smoothbrain cookie leve spam

[outer mural]

what's up

yeah cookie leve spam at a minimum is still pretty good

[heavy wadi]

don't give away niches

[outer mural]

they cannot outproduce me

[manic hare]

is moogle supreme the discord owner

[outer mural]

I have no idea who taht person is

[manic hare]

i need to know if i run away for my life

or not

[outer mural]

The server owner probably turned off the crown

[zealous harbor]

wow cant say anything else ill lose gil xD ty jim

[heavy wadi]

Eanae is the server owner.

[manic hare]

ok phew

thanks

[outer mural]

Not sure why you need to be worried unless you 're doing some jive shit but there u go

[manic hare]

i get muted alot

[zealous harbor]

idk why ppl are like that well...

[manic hare]

wht can i say

oh btw if you wanna make gold look at desperius videos

pepelaugh

[faint flare]

[outer mural]

don't joke about that because people might take it seriously

I do not recommend desperius as a generally reliable guide for anything

[heavy wadi]

don't.

desperius' guides are shit

[gloomy seal]

dont spam ligma logs plz

[heavy wadi]

and his gil making guides crash the market.

[gloomy seal]

u will hurt urself

[manic hare]

"I do recommend desperius as a generally reliable guide for anything" wow jim how could you

[heavy wadi]

because people don't like sharing their profitable niches. also it can cause big market crashes in certain things if too many people catch on

[outer mural]

and that goes to show your reading comprehension

[gloomy seal]

look at the things u can gather and find a gatherable item that sells decently

[manic hare]

im doing a cnn

[outer mural]

the thing about gatherable stuff is that it will never sell more for an item you craft as well

[native belfry]

What are the items that I should have for example when I level a 2nd job?

[outer mural]

just food and the gear necessary

[manic hare]

the earring

[outer mural]

pre-order earrings if you have them too yeah

brand-new ring and the friendship circlet as well

[hasty bear]

Yo. I could really use some help. Any veterans or end game players think they can help me about a bit? Whisper me if u can.

[manic hare]

dont bother buying food this week

just get that 30% xp buff

[outer mural]

?

food is cheap and quite free exp

[heavy wadi]

with what? just ask here.

[outer mural]

idk why one wouldn't buy it

[manic hare]

i meant irl

[heavy wadi]

?? just buy boiled eggs.

[boreal storm]

Eggs are like a Gil each

[manic hare]

idk where u live where eggs are a cent

[gloomy seal]

im so confused

are u sure ur in the right channel?

[outer mural]

please stop joking in the questions channel when people are asking genuine questions

your joke was construed as saying 'don't buy in-game food'

[manic hare]

no it wasnt

it was buy the preorder instead of food

[outer mural]

I am aware

and I am telling you stop joking

[heavy wadi]

don't joke in this channel.

this is a place to help people with genuine questions.

[boreal storm]

Especially not about stuff like that

[hasty bear]

@heavy wadi just picked up the game this week. Having a lot of fun tbh. Been non stop grinding. I currently level 36 bard, however I feel like my gear is pretty underwhelming. Should I Grind dungeons for better gear, or just keep continuing MSQ?

[faint flare]

Story

[heavy wadi]

keep doing msq

[faint flare]

Story and job quests gear your first job

[boreal storm]

Msq gives gear

[manic hare]

[outer mural]

MSQ will give you gear and dungeon gear from subsequent dungeons will be okay enough

[hasty bear]

I’ve been knocking out MSQ and job quest constantly so at least i know I’m doing that right.

[heavy wadi]

you don't need to worry about "farming" gear when leveling

[outer mural]

[hasty bear]

@heavy wadi thanks for that

[heavy wadi]

and ye you're on the right track.

no prob

[faint flare]

Your ilvl will never be equal to your level

[hasty bear]

Ok. I just feel like I’m grinding too much of one thing and ignoring so many other stuff

[gloomy seal]

also hit the daily roulettes to help with leveling if thats an issue

[outer mural]

the game is meant for you to explore its systems so don't stress about getting distracted unless you have a distinct goal in mind

if you 're just vibing then that's fine

[plush pebble]

you could do palace of the dead then you dont even need to worry about gear

[heavy wadi]

n

no

[faint flare]

Which is pointless on the first job

[heavy wadi]

they're new.

[plush pebble]

Why is that pointless?

[outer mural]

Palace is meant for alternative levelling and they were asking aobut progression and MSQ

[faint flare]

Cause your level means fuck all

[potent talon]

Where is the level 70 vendor that you can trade tomestones for gear? Is it in Stormblood? I haven’t made it there yet

[faint flare]

Story locks EVERYTHING

[heavy wadi]

because msq is the best way to level your first job.

[faint flare]

Yes

[heavy wadi]

in sb, yes.

[craggy crown]

Alecio it's one of the "downsides" to this exp bonus IMO. I've just been doing and the occasional and have stuggled to keep MSQ up with my levels

[potent talon]

Ah okay I figured. Thanks!

[hasty bear]

Exactly. Been vibing the whole time. I’ve been trying to figure things out on my own but it’s all overwhelming rn so I’m just sticking to what I know which is MSQ and job quests.

[craggy crown]

I got over it pretty quickly though ;p

[faint flare]

There's 0 point to rush level while story needs to be done

[outer mural]

Palace of the Dead is also extremely overrated as an alternate levelling experience because it's only marginally better if your queues are REALLY bad

[devout lichen]

turns out I didn't realize that 49 is not 50 and that's why there were no fieldcraft leves there

[plush pebble]

doing palace to get a couple of levels is a good idea if you are below msq levels and worrying about gear

[craggy crown]

Not like we can't go back and do the other quests whenever we want :)

[faint flare]

You're basically never below the story level

[heavy wadi]

aye. at this point it's a repetitive slog.

[devout lichen]

aren't you below the story level around 46?

[potent talon]

Yeah, I’ve just been running dungeons to get my relic weapon for glamour and it’s just been shooting me up in levels xD I think at this point I’ll hit 80 before I start Stormblood

[devout lichen]

but just that once for some reason

[hasty bear]

I’ve been grinding leves whenever there available, doing the blue symbol quests and MSQ. So just continue doing this for leveling?

And gear will just naturally come my way?

[outer mural]

If one is below the story level then running a dungeon or doing a roulette is a far more preferable recommendation than running PotD tbh

[faint flare]

Depends how much roulettes you did in the lead up

[uncut igloo]

What's stronger? Samurai + Samurai or Dancer + Samurai?

[heavy wadi]

do dungeons to play catchup, not leves

[devout lichen]

I personally did none so I was under

[plush pebble]

leves are for some weird reason the worst way to get exp outside of just grinding mobs

[hasty bear]

Hmm really

[faint flare]

Doing daily roulettes keeps you faaaar ahead of the xp curve

[hasty bear]

That’s good to know

[craggy crown]

A friend told me that the hunting log was good for filling exp gaps too, but I haven't had an exp gap in that direction yet :p

[devout lichen]

leves are bad except for dol and doh

[hasty bear]

So I should stop doing leves and replace it with dungeon duties?

[faint flare]

If you really need xp yes

[vernal girder]

Where to gather rock salt and spring water for Skybuilders’s uncooked pasta?

[faint flare]

Also daily levelling roulette

[outer mural]

samurai / samurai for raw numbers in a vacuum but in a full party dancer / samurai is

[faint flare]

Everything is in the diadem

Ignore phase 1-3 receipes

[hasty bear]

@faint flare what exactly is that. I think the only roulette I have is something from level 16

[outer mural]

the scenario of 'samurai / samurai' is not going to be happening in a situation where it actually matters

[faint flare]

Yes that's levelling roulette

[hasty bear]

Ok

[faint flare]

Mass amount of xp daily

[uncut igloo]

Well like, happen chance when two friends are just grinding out Fates and other various content

[plush pebble]

but you only get the bonus once

[outer mural]

dancer / samurai is stronger because dancer's output is best done when there's a full party to buff, and it brings the 1% ranged DPS boost

[faint flare]

In exchange for being thrown into a random ass dungeon

[uncut igloo]

What would we bring to the table in that perspective

[vernal girder]

Ah ok ty, why was i on phase 1? Am dumb

[plush pebble]

if you are not at your msq level then that means you had an alt or this is an alt?

[outer mural]

depends on what level fates

[hasty bear]

Wow. Thanks for the help. I was just unsure about if what I was doing was right, which is grinding MSQ etc so i thought I might ask some others who know the game better than I do. Thanks everyone.

[outer mural]

but if you were fate grinding anything not in norvradnt

[native belfry]

How do I get Aetheryte Earring or Armoury Bonus for when I level a second job?

[outer mural]

the answer is to bring blue mage instead

[uncut igloo]

I just started playing Saturday

[hasty bear]

Ill come back with more questions if they pop up

[uncut igloo]

So Im very new conceptually to everything lol

[outer mural]

@native belfry bonus exp earrings are from pre-order
armory bonus is automatic for any class below your highest

[boreal storm]

Armoury bonus is automatic,

[native belfry]

Copy that, thanks

[plush pebble]

I would see this game as a single player experience until you finish MSQ and would say outside of doing your roulette each day just focus 100% on doing msq

[outer mural]

if you want my honest advice, don't really worry about it

that and

fates are one of the things that don't really need class optimization in the slightest

besides either being Blue Mage or not being Blue Mage

[boreal storm]

No you still have multiplayer stuff doin msq

[plush pebble]

of course

the multiplayer stuff is like 1% of msq though

[uncut igloo]

I was just kinda curious considering one is a big dmg smacker, the other is a big dmg buffer

I wanted to see if the raw numbers led up as well to those buffs

[outer mural]

if we're being technical i would agree the msq is mostly singleplayer outside of the instnaces you must progress through which may throw some people off

[hasty bear]

@plush pebble awesome thanks

[reef plank]

how do I maximize the amount of people I can see ? i'm at crowded place but people who's 10 meter away they disappear

[outer mural]

most numbers are in raid boss fights

check out fflogs for numbers

[winged oyster]

just hit 80 dragoon, should I just roll my face in lvl 80 alliance raid paradigm and just get all 520 gear their?

[lunar quail]

Is it possible to glamour a weapon to an old relic weapon stage ?

[faint flare]

That's just how the game handles mass crowds

It culls people when there's too many

[leaden ginkgo]

what is faster for leveling 30 to 60? POTD or dungeon spam?

[outer mural]

yes

[heavy wadi]

dungeon spam probably

[faint flare]

Dungeons. Potd is if ques are 15mins plus

[outer mural]

dungeon spam unless your queues are like 30 minutes per

[winged oyster]

Roulettes first then POTD

[outer mural]

the priority is
roulettes > dungeons > potd (if dungeon queues suck)

[faint flare]

(and beast tribes while waiting for ques)

[leaden ginkgo]

alr thanks

[opaque heart]

when do deliveries reset?

[boreal storm]

Weekly reset

[faint flare]

!weekly

[zinc orbit]

Tick, Tock, Kupo!

Time Until Weekly Reset:

3 days, 11 hours, 21 minutes, 43 seconds

[spring lintel]

So, coffers right? i just got "dai ryumyaku weapon coffer" from MSQ. If i want this coffer for my other classes, how can i get it again? calamity salvager?

[boreal storm]

No

There’s some place to buy it

[faint flare]

It's the other poetic gear

For stormblood

Aka not Scaevan

[boreal storm]

So unless you want it for glam

[opaque heart]

what are guildhests?

[spring lintel]

aight

[faint flare]

Outdated as fuck tutorial instances

[boreal storm]

Dead content ignore em

[spring lintel]

What about scion's attire? I mean i know i can buy it but my question is, is it 4.x reward?

[opaque heart]

for challenge log

[boreal storm]

Dead content ignore em

[native belfry]

Hey @outer mural one quick question again, I just start a new 2nd job, right? Which gear am I supposed to go for

At least first 20ish levels, until I get dungeons

[outer mural]

brand new gear from hall of the novice will help you out

it also grabs you Brand New Ring if you don't already havei t for some nice bonus exp

[native belfry]

Cheers

[uneven dune]

Are dungeons faster or slower than potd for leveling tank (assuming roulettes are already done)?

[knotty lily]

Faster, generally. Highest non-cap dungeon you have access to

[native belfry]

hmmm... on level 15, right?

[gloomy seal]

can u explain what non-cap dungeon means?

[uneven dune]

Nifty

[boreal storm]

Not 50/60/70/80

[knotty lily]

Yeah, level 15-49, level 51-59, etc.
The straight up 50 or 60 etc. dungeons give basically zero exp

[gloomy seal]

oh so castrum abania gives better exp than ghimlyt?

[knotty lily]

Correct!

[river tusk]

my game keeps crashing every time i boot into the world. no error messages at all
i last remember going into the main plaza of ul'dah and then my game crashed
now it keeps crashing
what do i do???

[outer mural]

yes
it's because 50/60/70 dungeons did not give exp when they were current content and their adjusted exp values after the fact give very little exp

Why cant I meld Savage Aim Marteria VI into my augmented shire rod?

"Cannot be meldet onto a piece of equipment past the first advanced materia melding slot" What does that mean?

[boreal storm]

Exactly as it says

[outer mural]

is your computer perhaps running out of memory

what does it say when it crashes

just nothing?

[tall bridge]

Well thanks for ur immense help. You really helped me there

Some people speak different languages and just started the game

[boreal storm]

If it has 2 slots, you can’t meld it on 4-5

[outer mural]

You can't meld more than 2 on shire yeah

[rotund trail]

Does turning dx 11 off actually help fps?

[river tusk]

nothing shows up. the only thing using that much memory is the game. i have 8gb of ram

[boreal storm]

Also no advance melding shire

[tall bridge]

So I can only use low lvl Materia in my shire ?

[boreal storm]

No

[faint flare]

Tier 6 and under

Read the ilvl requirement on the materia

[outer mural]

you can use tier 6 and under but you can't meld more than 2 of any materia at 6 and below onto the shire

[river vortex]

does the leveling roulette scale above lvl 50?

[tall bridge]

Man that confused me even more. I havent used any of the slots in my shire and my Materia is Savage Aim VI (6) so why doesnt it work?

[zinc orbit]

Materia & Melding FAQ

How do I unlock melding?

Complete Forging the Spirit (materia extract/npc melding) and Waking the Spirit (player melding) in Central Thanalan.

How can I get my gear melded?

To meld visible Materia slots a NPC melder in any major city will do (marked with a Blue Materia icon on the map). To overmeld gear you'll need to request another player to meld your gear or to do it yourself.

Why can't I meld this Materia to my stuff?

Every Tier of Materia has a minimum item level requirement that gear must meet to allow melding of that Tier. Tier 6 Materia requires an item level of 290 while Tiers 7 and 8 require an item level of 420.

Why is my meld giving +0 stats?

Every item has a maximum amount of stats that can be given through melding and the natural stats found on the gear. This can be seen at the bottom of the Materia Melding menu, as seen in the picture below.

The secondary stat with a higher number is already at the cap and cannot be further melded.

[faint flare]

See the bottom half

That stat is probably capped

Thus cant hold more of it

[frank ridge]

Wait Tier 6 is 290 and more

Augmented Shire is 270 no?

[topaz estuary]

how can i pin point their location ?

[boreal storm]

Talk to khloe

[autumn hedge]

I forgot where I'm supposed to go to buy new master craft books

[faint flare]

Scrip people

[opaque heart]

[boreal storm]

If you haven’t unlocked it, go to idyllshire

[opaque heart]

I got it

[faint flare]

It's in your key items

She gives you the journal

For that week

[opaque heart]

ok

I see it

[hasty turtle]

what do i do with these?

[boreal storm]

Materia exchange

[sleek mountain]

getting a strange issue where once i finish talking to npcs the map pops up with an old flag in a different map, closing the map and reopening it moves to back to where i am, but its a pain, have tried creating new flags removing the old one but keeps happening

[opaque heart]

I got 4/9

[latent moon]

go to materia vendors in cities, you can trade them for materia VIII which is the best in the game atm

[opaque heart]

for 9/9 I get max rewards?

[boreal storm]

No

You’d have get 3 lines

[lament quarry]

hey yall how do i actually start to craft as a carpenter. Im missing something super obvious lol

[faint flare]

If you want max

9 stickers is the minimum rewards

[hasty turtle]

found it thanks

[faint flare]

Open the crafting log

Pick receipe

Click start

[rotund trail]

Does disabling direct x 11 help with fps?

[frank ridge]

Depends on your system but for those that supports it generally no

[opaque heart]

so I only get stickers for completing the duty?

[rotund trail]

@frank ridge ah yeah I have a ryzen 5 3500, vega 8 8gb ram

[opaque heart]

what is second chance for?

[boreal storm]

Redo an objective/ shuffle

It tells you this

[frank ridge]

I wouldn't know though. You can try it. Or google to see if your VGA supports DX11

[rotund trail]

@frank ridge alright thx I guess I'll try

[inner berry]

Has anyone done the weekly fashion and golden saucer and got a 80+?

[opaque heart]

and at the end of the week I just get the rewards automatically?

[boreal storm]

No, you have to give it to khloe

[opaque heart]

or can I turn it in earlier

[obsidian patio]

You can turn in as soon as you get 9 stickers placed or a line formed

[rotund trail]

@frank ridge yesh it supports dx12 apparently

[obsidian patio]

Though you should always wait until 9 stickers to get more rewards

[hasty turtle]

are materias lost forever once you embed them into a piece of gear?

[boreal storm]

No

[hasty turtle]

or can you recycle

[willow sparrow]

there's no hildibrand quests for shadowbringer right?

[obsidian patio]

Grades 1-6 have 100% retrieval rate

7 at 80%, 8 at 40%

For taking them out of the gear

[obsidian patio]

Correct

[hasty turtle]

ok, so still best to wait until i have the proper gear

[willow sparrow]

dang

[boreal storm]

Don’t meld period until lvl 80, because you don’t need to

[hasty turtle]

i'm almost done with post shb

i was wondering if i should use them on exarchic

or wait until cryptlurker

[high owl]

Hey for the fashion report do you just need 80 points to get the max mgp

[river vortex]

for leveling dol/doh, can i just buy gear from an npc or should i be gathering and crafting all my gear?

basically because idk how often i'd have to switch gears

[ripe hound]

Does it usually matter if I drift my 60s rotation slightly?

As in, dirft it to 60.5s, 61s, etc.

[still phoenix]

so is there anything being removed in endwalekr

[tiny valve]

Belts

[still phoenix]

is that the waist slot or (am new

[faint flare]

Yes

[tiny valve]

Yep

[still phoenix]

also i heard something about pets

[tiny valve]

I wonder if they'll compensate by making other gear more expensive

[faint flare]

Summoner is getting reworked to some extent

[warm snow]

It'll add up

[faint flare]

Combat changes will be shown on the 17th/18th

[ripe hound]

Is this just automatically assumed now?

[faint flare]

No Yoshi straight said it

In an interview with Mr happy

[ripe hound]

Like, “yeah Summoner will probably get a rework in the expansion after EW”

[ripe hound]

Oh fancy

[hasty turtle]

it's not like they're downpowering everyone, they're just removing a useless gearslot, so yes they'll bring up the stats of everything else to make up for the difference

[runic cairn]

they said more expensive, not more powerful

[ripe hound]

I see, I guess it’s all just practice

[runic cairn]

they kind of are depowering everyone given stat squish though

[ripe hound]

Practice more until I know how to play

[warm snow]

In previous interviews they'd admitted that they had reached a logical conclusion to summoner and couldn't add to it

[tiny valve]

Yeah but it still means it's one piece less to farm, so they can leave it like that or make it as long as before by fixing prices

[warm snow]

When they announced the removal of belts they said the missing stats would be spread to the rest of the gear

Back during the Endwalker announcement

[hasty turtle]

yeah they may scale up prices to make up for it

[runic cairn]

yeah but that's..... irrelevant to what was asked

[hasty turtle]

but droprate wise it will probably just be a buff for all the rest of the gear

this game isn't stingy with drops

[tiny valve]

Yeah, it'll mostly impact tomestones gear

[still phoenix]

is there any other changed

[gentle arrow]

Is bard bad

[last sapphire]

no

[tiny valve]

Isn't the monk going to have some changes too ?

[full wagon]

No class is bad lol

[hasty turtle]

what gave you that impression?

[faint flare]

We'll know all combat changes in the upcoming live letter next week

[potent talon]

So I’m 2 levels away from level 60 fisher. Is that enough to try and attempt ocean fishing for the shake mount or should I get to 70 first?

[last sapphire]

just do ocean fishing anyway

[leaden ginkgo]

hey how do you remove the emotes bar from your hud during combat for controller players?

[last sapphire]

there's no reason not to do it

[leaden ginkgo]

does anyone know where can i get this?

[faint flare]

Puppets bunker

Second nier raid

[last sapphire]

nier raids, 2nd one

[frank ridge]

You can also click that Sources and Uses tab

[boreal storm]

Eww reading

[potent talon]

Ohh there’s a nier raid? In which expansion?

[last sapphire]

shadowbringers

[leaden ginkgo]

ye i did that it didnt really tell me anything

anyway thx

[frank ridge]

Hmm weird. You'd think GT would have them listed

[boreal storm]

It also has a link to gamerscape

Which tells where to get it

[ocean shuttle]

is there any way to hide the gearset numbers on macros, ?

[leaden ginkgo]

Is the Bozjan gear worth getting still if my ilvl is already 520?

[frank ridge]

I don't think there is unfortunately

[faint flare]

The Zadnor gear is 525

[frank ridge]

Depends on how far you wanna go

[faint flare]

The rest is glamour

[leaden ginkgo]

Oh okay, nice. Just more Bozjan Coins I assume?

[deep oak]

I don’t have those. So yes. But I never had them in the first place. Might be in settings?

Are you using the gearset icon or did you make a separate macro? Mine are their own macros and have no numbers.

[leaden ginkgo]

hey how do you remove the emotes bar from your hud during combat for controller players? the red hud bar more or less

[faint flare]

Platinum coins

[river vortex]

for leveling dol/doh, can i just buy gear from an npc or should i be gathering and crafting all my gear?
basically because idk how often i'd have to switch gears

[leaden ginkgo]

Cheers for the answers

[last sapphire]

yes as you get bonuses in those areas when you augment them

the gear is scaled to 430 anyway

[leaden ginkgo]

What does 'haste' do?

I see some of these bonuses are +1 Haste

[last sapphire]

makes everything faster

[leaden ginkgo]

Like GCD?

[last sapphire]

so cast time, recast time ye

[leaden ginkgo]

Oh nice

[faint flare]

Reduces your gcd by 0.02 per point

[last sapphire]

outside of bozja it's not worth it, inside it is

you don't have much else to spend the gold on really

[leaden ginkgo]

anyone on the hud question?

it's just when I switch across combat actions the emote bar is there and it wastes extra time

i don’t do much dps as Bard is that normal

my BLM in my group does like 50% more

[outer mural]

what level

[last sapphire]

you trade damage for mobility with ranged dps

[outer mural]

well

[last sapphire]

but it's not that big

[outer mural]

even with that 50% more is not acucrate to how much they should be doing yeah

ur not incorrect but 50% is

[sleek mountain]

for most fights it should not be that far around BLM does alot better in a fight with little to no aoe they need to move out of
