questions-and-help

[amber portal]

Hello..I'm currently maining SCH. I'm enjoying it sure --- but since the live press, its been stated that the class didn't and still not improved despite the upcoming changes. Just wondering will I be left out by still using the class.

[hoary crypt]

Ok, so solo alot

[barren shard]

Make sure you have the mask on

[leaden ginkgo]

Kabuto #55 is on

[boreal storm]

Are you actually targeting the npc, is what I mean

[manic flare]

what i've noticed is that sometimes when people kills the gyre spumes fast enough, leviathan tends to use tidal wave right away when he disappears (so you're supposed to activate the elemental converter when he goes under).

but i've found that sometimes when people are slow to kill the gyre spumes, leviathan does a few more attacks (even after he disappears) before he casts the tidal wave, causing a party wipe because the elemental converter got activated when he initially disappears.

so i was wondering if there's a specific signal to know when exactly he will cast tidal wave

[hard aurora]

@leaden ginkgo show us your character screen

[umbral dune]

They barely introduce the actual changes in potency, skill, mostly the new stuff so it feels bad because your new toolkit look boring but we never truly know when we got the media tour and experience it ourselves

[boreal storm]

Hold up

Why are you still a conjurer

Equip that job stone

[leaden ginkgo]

oh I took it off in case THAT was the problem, I'll put it back heh

[hard aurora]

and yes equip your job stone

never take it off for whatever reason; nothing will cause a problem with it on

[quartz comet]

First thing i saw in that picture

Conjurer

[tidal badge]

hey all - I have miner at 67 and botanist at 72. I want to use gathering to make some gil. Is it better to rush leves to 80, or should I diadem my up to 80 and make money on the way? any thoughts?

[lone totem]

if leviathan falls below a specific hp threshold, he will automatically be pushed to do tidal wave

even if spumes are present

[barren shard]

Diadem

Sell skybuilder stuff

[tidal badge]

that's what I was thinking, ok cool thank you

[covert pumice]

so theres this side character from the containment bays trials. I was told i would see him again? Havent seen him once in ShB yet and I only unlocked the trials when i was done with msq so he was quite a surprise to me.

[lone totem]

your best bet (if you're doing this synced) is to specifically defeat the spumes and then let up on damage for a bit

[amber portal]

I understand. I do feel the same way too but i'm still new to this game so I dont really know how things pan in terms of what will be implemented vs what was announced. I will just have to lvl up my WHM just in case it does turn out disappointing. Thanks!

[lone totem]

to let the gauge charge

[boreal storm]

The only issues would be either not wearing the full uniform or not targeting the npc

[barren shard]

Ngl I would buy some with how much of a pain it is to grind lol

[twilit arch]

he's in shb side content, if you do all of the role quests

[quartz comet]

Remember back in sb

People was complaining sch was dead and whm strong

2 month after release sch is op as shit

And whm is dog shit

[leaden ginkgo]

is dogshit lmao

[lone totem]

people are literally just dumb

[upper cove]

I'd say don't be too hasty to make a judgement. The fairy already looks much more responsive which is a huge improvement. Trust yoshi p and the team to balance stuff

[amber portal]

but rn is sch dogshit? some people hating on it so badly

[twilit arch]

you're n ot weraing the full uniform

[quartz comet]

The pants

[quartz comet]

Wear the pant

[lone totem]

scholar didn't get something flashy in the live letter so everyone jokes that it is dead

[boreal storm]

5 pieces

[covert pumice]

Ok, still didnt get around to do the tank one so I guess that answers it

[amber portal]

agree agree

[leaden ginkgo]

jesus H lmao, fucking bless you

[quartz comet]

Sch in shb is busted

[lone totem]

but an aoe peleton that can be used in combat and that mitigates damage is super busted

[quartz comet]

Your soil give damage reduction and heal over time

[lone totem]

[upper cove]

@amber portal people like to meme in general. Just because sch didn't get many flashy looking stuff compared to other jobs doesn't mean its gonna be bad.

[near path]

Bit confused on the event Garuda fight. They do the big attack and I warp to the pillar and am immediately yanked back, warped, yanked, warp, yanked, until I'm dead.

[quartz comet]

You can give a contract to your tank thou shall not fall below 40% hp

Crit shield

100% guaranteed

[upper cove]

Oh yesssss. When you need to cover large distances. I'm interested to see how its gonna be used going ahead

[patent citrus]

yeah comparing ruins the fun always

[amber portal]

Yes I believe so too, would be nice if had flashy skills too tho lol. But as along as things work right, is okay by me

[upper cove]

Everyone can technically save a sprint if the sch speed boost is comparable

[quartz comet]

Its the usual job trailer and media toir meme

[patent citrus]

people still don't know what updates given to SCH

[quartz comet]

Every single expansion we have x is dead

Turn out that wasnt the case

[leaden ginkgo]

lord have mercy I also forgot to wear the boots. please let me stay a sprout forever

[umbral dune]

It deals 7k damage so try to stay above that threshold with the easiest option is playing a healer

[upper cove]

@amber portal don't worry man. I've only started playing this year, what amazes is how jobs are balanced. Everything is fun to play and everything is viable

[little loom]

just wait for them to make a savage boss with shit ton of movement that you need scholar

[upper cove]

[amber portal]

yup indeed

[twilit arch]

At the end of the day, people always jump the gun on how some jobs are going to be in the coming expac

just have to wait and see

[lone totem]

the only "bad" job in this game from my experience, was ninja

[upper cove]

I'm only starting to do e9s now. Movement is important

[lone totem]

before its rework of mudras

in early shadowbringers

[wispy shell]

Where's the setting that lets you rearrange your hotbar? I think I accidentally pressed a hotkey or something and can't more my skills now?

[upper cove]

I saw a version of machinist with cast bars

That seems bad to me tbh

[quartz comet]

The only bad job is cul

[twilit arch]

there's a lock next to hotbar 1

[narrow jay]

there should be a padlock icon to the right of the main skillbar

[lone totem]

like it was so bad that my raid team leader and many others would not accept ninjas lol

[upper cove]

Who else is gonna make you coffee biscuits and smoked chickens

[quartz comet]

Masochist

[upper cove]

What was it like?

[twilit arch]

conversation about good/bad, etc should go to #beginner-lounge or #general-discussion cos its no longer really appropriate for this channel

[upper cove]

Sorry

[wispy shell]

Ohhh they're on different bars and if I click on the teleport one it will overlay on top of the lock

[gleaming garnet]

I reached lv. 80 with the sole job I play early (WHM) but only care about the story and don't want to spend weeks getting another class to the point where the story isn't level locked. What is a very rough estimate of how long it would take me to level another job (lv. 30 AST) to my point in the story (lv. 77) so I can continue without wasting exp?

[quartz comet]

2 day

[twilit arch]

a couple of days of doing roulettes/dungeon spam

[quartz comet]

If you dungeon spam

[lone totem]

about 20 hours of play time if you don't do anything else

[quartz comet]

And have dungeon speed runner team

Stack all exp buff and speed run dungeon and you can reach lvl 50 within 45 min

[umbral moat]

Is the new HUD battle adjustments for Endwalker or something we can do now?

[quartz comet]

No

[lone totem]

pretty sure it will be in the first public build of endwalker that we get

[pallid bluff]

so for new game plus, do you have to actually do the tedius parts of the quests (duties, collecting, etc), or do you just look at the dialogue and cutscenes?

[lone totem]

so 11/19

[lone totem]

you literally replay the whole MSQ

[quartz comet]

Ng+ is same

[lone totem]

even the overworld reflects it

[umbral moat]

Thank you

[lone totem]

so conditions in the overworld or gates that block access because of MSQ progression, will relock themselves if you use NG+

gives a rather authentic feeling

[pallid bluff]

oh wow

[quartz comet]

The only thing you camt replay is blue quest

Minus job quest

[pallid bluff]

what about the side questline ng+?

[rough kite]

Are extreme raid drops correlated to how many time you fail?

[pallid bluff]

you have to do the stuff there as well?

[twilit arch]

yes, ng+ is basically removing the "Completed" flag

from those quests

so you're effectively re-doing the quests as they are

if they ask you to complete x, you have to complete x

[quartz comet]

Ex raid drop rng

Same drop rate

[pallid bluff]

damn may as well just watch the cutscenes in the room

i ain't got time for that

[quartz comet]

Regardless how many time you failed

[fast talon]

Is there actually a thing called Raid Finder in this game or is that just what people call PF? I've seen more than one post about EW changes and people saying "Raid Finder" for like the healer role change and stuff.

[twilit arch]

raid finder = high end duty tab of the duty finder

[fast talon]

Oh okay

[twilit arch]

so where the current end-game extreme and savage is

[rough kite]

Weird, guess rng just not wanting to cooperate then. Did it on my first try the first time and dropped everything. Rest of the times we failed a couple times and only the ring dropped

[ripe hound]

It’s never used in NA so

I wonder does EU use it?

[fast talon]

wow ive never seen that lol, i just open duty finder with a hotkey

[fast talon]

its used more in EU and JP

[ripe hound]

Yeah I know JP use it

[pallid bluff]

it's a controller thing

[fast talon]

i was thinking it might be the high end duty tab but the window name doesnt change

[ripe hound]

Pretty sure this is wrong channel

[umbral moat]

Lmao damn quick yeah

[ripe hound]

Yeah in theory it should be this

[leaden ginkgo]

i don't know if i missed something that was said about the quest but i'm stuck at the start of born again anima to get the aettir and priwen. i'm a bit confused on what i'm exactly supposed to do with this step.

[quartz comet]

Jp use rf

Na and eu doesnt

You can queque savage in jp server

[pallid bluff]

damn jp hardcore

[patent citrus]

just different mentality

JP has an obsessive nature of playing it safe

[quartz comet]

Because jp use strat macro

[patent citrus]

that's why when you see the JP strat, they ignore melee uptime

but when you do PF in EU/NA you'll see Melee uptime as a default

and they want everything fast in dungeon

[gleaming nymph]

is Dataqi Chronicles Bugged? it's not showing the next one "Displacement" been 30 minutes

[near path]

Are there any known upcoming events I would need to prepare for like with Nocturne?

[quartz comet]

Seasonal event

Like halloween

Christmast

[near path]

How do you prep for them?

[pallid bluff]

release of endwalker

[quartz comet]

Some give outfit

[fast talon]

the dragon quest event is coming back right

[twilit arch]

Distress was completed successfully? @gleaming nymph

[quartz comet]

Some give mount

Oh yeah dragon quest

[raven sage]

You don't need to prepare for anything coming up

[quartz comet]

Get that jelly head

[raven sage]

Just show up

[ripe hound]

I do respect the JP choice of always going safe in pug environment without statics

[near path]

I don't need to stock on MGP or anything like that?

[gleaming nymph]

yes they are actually camped in here now

[raven sage]

no

[silk ridge]

Hello everyone just finished ifrit extreme but I'm not seeing the coils of bahamut quest pls help

[twilit arch]

then most likely there are too many fates up currently

so it doesn't have "room'

[silk ridge]

I think Urianger gives me the quest but no icon on him

[fast talon]

yep. its kinda funny that you'll actually see in PF for groups that are specifically trying to parse

since its not the default mentality

[raven sage]

Are you sure you didn't start it already? It has nothing to do with ifrit extreme

[silk ridge]

It's not showing up in my quests. I did all 3 primals on extreme and turned them into urianger

[raven sage]

you should check your journal one more time for Primal Awakening then

The extremes have nothing to do with it

You need the hard modes done not the extremes

[silk ridge]

Oh I had done the hard one already

hmmm

I'm only seeing primal nature in my completed

[raven sage]

exactly

[fast talon]

if primal nature is completed then you need to take the quest after that

but i dont remember where it is

[raven sage]

You did it already. Now you need to run the 5th turn

For the next to appear

[silk ridge]

I haven't done any of the coils though

I never accepted the quest

[raven sage]

you did though

[boreal storm]

Look in your raid tab

[split dust]

There is a command to change sound? Like /bgm

[raven sage]

You just said you have primal awakening in your completed

Primal Awakening is just an unlock quest, it doesn't make you do anything other than talk to Alisaie and then it's done

[silk ridge]

Oh got it. That makes sense.

ty

[raven sage]

You then run the turns you unlocked. Turn 5 specifically is what you need for the next quest

[dawn cove]

any guides on how to get the "lady of far waters" title?

[shell notch]

Im sure this was asked already but what are good ways go get GMP?

[leaden ginkgo]

for the light density gain do you have to use your relic in activities or nah?

[tidal badge]

for a level 67 miner, where should I get gear?

just from the fieldcraft supplier in Kugane or ? (going ot be in the diadem)

[river vortex]

firmament is for crafting/gathering leveling?

[tidal badge]

it is, yeah

[river vortex]

and should i just straight up buy gear on the mb and go from there? Ive been buying and handing in stuff for gc so my equips are all outdated by now

[fast talon]

if you can try to push it to 70, the scrip gear you can get from Reach is good enough for until 75-ish

if you cant push it, buying level appropriate market board gear is good too but might be more expensive

[fast talon]

60/70/80 have scrip gear you can use (though 60 is annoying since its job exclusive while 70 & 80 are job agnostic) but if your gear is too low level to even get scrips then MB is your best bet

[tidal badge]

ok, I think I will take it easy on the gear I buy and just push my way up to 70

then get the scrip gear, thank you

I've just spent 4m driving my crafts up to 71, so I'm trying to be gil smart 😄 so really appreciate it

[dusky whale]

can i dismantle gear for crafting mats?

[glacial isle]

what are the named mobs in Bozja/Zadnor for?

[river vortex]

what are scrips? Stuff you get from handing in diadem stuff?

[tidal badge]

you can, its desynth. Need to be level 30 in the relevant craft

[whole hinge]

Anyone know if the StB EX trials are soloable? And if so, what jobs?

[honest anvil]

only laskmi can be soloed with war iirc

rest cant be

[whole hinge]

Yikes okay

[dusky whale]

ty

[whole hinge]

Might wait for Endwalker then

[heavy wadi]

they drop more fragments and a lot of clusters, iirc

[whole hinge]

Then level my GNB and see where to go from there

[glacial isle]

thx

[honest anvil]

ew has stats crunch so i wont bank on it

[heavy wadi]

they're not easy though

they're basically minibosses

and will one shot most jobs

[whole hinge]

oh right... forgot about that lol

[mossy current]

Nah

[whole hinge]

In that case, I might see if my FC wants to farm mounts then

[mossy current]

It'll be normal

Remember we're getting "enhanced echo" option

[honest anvil]

farm pf fill fast; put one up

[whole hinge]

Any permissions I should put up for loot?

[mossy current]

No

Lootmaster is kinda weird with randoms

[honest anvil]

just say number of laps you’ll do; usually it’s “x5 ffa”

[mossy current]

Only need is nice if you wanna desynth

I mean only greed

Lootmaster parties are notorious for people getting what they want and just leaving

[honest anvil]

but look up their guides in advanced though; a few demand you respect certain mechs

[whole hinge]

Gotcha, thanks for all the advice y'all!

also I'm nervous about getting into Sage because I suck at healing as Scholar

[mossy current]

Don't worry

Ask questions and have common sense

Sage guides will probably be out soon enough after EW

[whole hinge]

Totally!

[mossy current]

Just trust reliable sources

[whole hinge]

Which would be like, the Balance Discord and that one Raid Guide website right?

[tropic flame]

And wesk alber

[mossy current]

Balance yeah, if you mean salted xiv, that's going away with EW release iirc

[whole hinge]

nooo

But ye, I wanna be the best healer I can be so I don't end up becoming That Guy in Duty Finder

[mossy current]

However that's second hand information, so take it as you will

It's all up to practice so

Just keep doing what you do

[fast talon]

lol i can imagine just how many messages hes gonna get when EW comes out. his guides were my go-to for learning new jobs

[near path]

Can I have multiple recruits awaiting enlistment? Or do I need to pick up each one as the ycome in?

[tropic flame]

Yes you can

[narrow jay]

You can have multiples, yes, but you have to review and accept or reject them in order.

[tropic flame]

You're gonna need to start from 51

[mossy current]

Leaving in the middle means that you never finished, so it starts you over

[random agate]

for the armour 45 quest line whats the best way to get 3-6 high quality items

[mossy current]

Gather/craft the items yourself or buy on market board

[random agate]

am new to the crafter gather line, is it just luck to make HQ items?

[fast talon]

gatherer, yes, crafter, no.

depending on your stats and level, it is possible to make the HQ chance for crafting 100%

[random agate]

im guessing gear, for crafting?

[last mural]

I just got a Wondrous Tails book, but the 3 line reward is 3 silver certs and not 1 gold?

[boreal storm]

You’re not a high enough level

[runic sundial]

what floors should i farm to get from 70-71 in HoH?

[twilit arch]

21-30

[dusky whale]

can i move item tooltips window so it stops covering half the inventory when i hover stuff, its very annoying

[lofty comet]

Hello 🙂 quick question, let's say no one is queueing dungeon atm. but they are queueing for leveling roulette lv16. is it worth for me to queue for Leveling even if i have done its roulette? like will the dungeon i enter still give me the regular exp as if i would have entered it the "regular" way?

im lv 42 rn BLM

oh wait xD there are other ways to level up haha

lol

[narrow jay]

You'll get the XP for that dungeon, but it may not be relevant to your current level. The bonus you get from the roulette is only once per day, so it's likely not worth your time.

[lofty comet]

okok ^^

leves are good yeah?

[narrow jay]

Not ... really after around 25/30

Mostly just dungeons, MSQ if you still have it around that level, or the daily roulette.

You also should still have two more tiers of Hunting Log to get through

if you're 42 then you should have access to the lv40 log

[lofty comet]

ah alright 🙂 im finished with ShB so no MSQ hehe ah yeah true i can do that 🙂

ty ^^

[bold grail]

When does roulette reset?

10am?

I walked away from the quest giver for the ffxv event quest and now I don't know where to go. I have the man in black completed in my quest log

[dusky whale]

is there a fast way to get to 30 carpentry using just what you can buy from guild?

[near path]

Is there any way to level Saucer chocobo faster than spamming Sagoli?

[warm yacht]

Saw a helmet that had glowing firehorns, is that the bonewicca whisperer's mask

?

[quartz comet]

Yes

From skalla dungeon

Caster headgear

[warm yacht]

are the horns the visor

[quartz comet]

No idea

[dusty shell]

Should I do expert delivery for obsolete aetherial items or is there another purpose?

[warm yacht]

pretty sure it's actually from swallow's compass

[quartz comet]

Oh wait

Its swallow compass

My bad

[gloomy bridge]

Can a party of 4 lvl 80s with full exarchic gear be able to do a lvl 80 treasure map that recommends a full party of lvl 80s?

[twilit arch]

yes

8man map is more of a suggestion, not a requirement

[gloomy bridge]

I see, thank you!!

[clever roost]

Is it possible to remove materia from a piece of gear?

[twilit arch]

right click > retrieve materia

[manic flare]

is there a reason why so many people choose nocturnal sect over diurnal sect

[clever roost]

Thank you

[elder spoke]

on the topic of materia, how do i start using them?

level 70 and haven't touched materia yet

[clever roost]

I need to know this too please

[twilit arch]

generally only worry about materia at max lvl

[narrow jay]

https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/In_the_Dark_of_Night

[elder spoke]

tysm

[twilit arch]

since while you're leveling your gear changes often enough its not worth it, or you'll be level sync'd down anyway

and materia is ignored when sync

[narrow jay]

Also yeah, materia won't be worth your time until you get to max level and closer to your final gear set.

[twilit arch]

so it'd be a moot point to meld it

[clever roost]

Even if I a miner?i

[warm yacht]

Can Swallow's Compass be solo unsynced at max Ilvl?

I'm only interested in helmet drops so I don't think I

would need to do the entire thing*

[narrow jay]

Also this question is sort of subjective. Currently Ast is flexible, so if you see a lot of Asts in content going Nocturnal, it's likely because the cohealer is a white mage, and it's nice to have the balance of shields and regens. But Whm regens and Ast regens do stack together, so it's really more down to the flavor people want.

[twilit arch]

usually can get by without melding as dol/doh, but if you feel like you need a bit of a stat boost then food is usually the easier choice

you can meld if you've got materia

[narrow jay]

I personally haven't seen more Nocts than Diurns, but we're likely operating on wildly different samples and sample sizes.

In Endwalker, it will no longer matter, because the choice between sects will no longer exist as an option, and most of the shield functionality will be removed.

[obsidian patio]

yes

though you might have trouble as a job that doesn't have self-healing

[warm yacht]

SAM

I have SMN also but only to iLvl 525 or so

[obsidian patio]

SMN will be more than enough

Titan-Egi shields and Phoenix is a lot of self-sustain

[warm yacht]

Would it be doable as SAM or pretty tough

Just gotta do up to boss #2

and then theres a coffer that also drops helmets

[obsidian patio]

liberal usage of Third Eye and Merciful Eye should give a good amount of self-sustain

and timing Bloodbath with big skills like Midare and Senei/Guren

[barren shard]

Anyone know some really cool armor sets for drk?

[patent citrus]

look it up yourself

https://ffxiv.eorzeacollection.com/glamours

[small atlas]

thats a long link

[plucky bone]

huh

its been a bit since its that way

[dusky whale]

i see that 20 times per day

[plucky bone]

damn

off to a good start

i wanted to give the game my 2nd try

seems a nope to me

[patent citrus]

idk why It direct me to that long link

either way fixed it 😂

[plucky bone]

how do i make my not working thingie to work then

[wicked hare]

when do the job changes typically get released? is it like a month before expansion?

[plucky bone]

[hard aurora]

@wicked hare when the expansion hits, so do the changes iirc

because that whole patch would be 6.0

between now and then, there wont be any

[boreal storm]

No that means you get kupo stamps

[amber portal]

I crafted 1 G4 Skybuilder stew but it wont trade in, is it the wrong quality?

[boreal storm]

Collectibility

[amber portal]

ohh

lol mine is 1.

[boreal storm]

So yeah it’s a quality check

[amber portal]

kk got it thanks!

Btw to just get the mounts and stuff, is this a better way to do it? or just manually gather the stuff from the diadem? I was wondering if crafting + trade in is faster?

[boreal storm]

You certainly get more from doing both

Fetes give up to 500 scrips a session

[amber portal]

noted, thank you!

[dapper cliff]

Hi got a question

Is it better to play ffxiv in steam or in se platform itself

[silver ruin]

doesnt matter, however se platform itself lets you buy from other vendors such as amazon or gog if they have sales

[dapper cliff]

oh okay

so, if i buy ffxiv complete package, it doesnt include the endwalker right

[raven bolt]

did they screw the BLU carnival 20 cheese with final sting giving brush with death now?

[umbral dune]

for now yes, but when EW release, it will include that as well

[honest anvil]

isnt using final sting part of an achievement there?

[fringe kiln]

does anyone have thok as thok for bard? midi file

[silver ruin]

idk if youre allowed to ask for those here

@twilit arch

[plucky bone]

now tha launcher wont even appear

now wut

[flint kernel]

hi , im trying to tranfer datacenter to aether , but when i click on the tab to choose , i didnt see any server frm aether in the list

[silver ruin]

cant transfer to aether

its congested

can only transfer off of aether

[obsidian patio]

in terms of doing it fast, yes.

[silver ruin]

you're pinging the wrong person

lol

i was telling the person who was asking

[umbral dune]

sorry

[warm yacht]

Would these be considered valuable?

And if so what's the easiest way to mass convert them into a sellable format

[near path]

Even after the stat squish, should Blue Mages be able to solo most content?

[umbral dune]

stat squish apply to both player and monster at the same rate

[near path]

Oh, I thought just players were getting squished

[umbral dune]

the only problem is that the different between 50 and 80 smaller mean higher level does not make it that much easier anymore

[slate arrow]

kinda sorta but materia is super cheap now so /shrug

[umbral dune]

so they make a bigger echo buff

[warm yacht]

Even with so many, huh? :/

I figured as much

[flint kernel]

hi , can i recover the birthday info , i got access to my account but dont remember the birthday info

[plucky bone]

i heard this is acommon issue , how do u guys fix it?

hello , anyone?

the failed to check version

[slate arrow]

!faq xivlauncher

use this

[zinc orbit]

Official Launcher Giving you Trouble on Updates?

Try this alternative 3rd party launcher

[obsidian patio]

You can probably go to Mutamix in central thanalan to convert all the grade 8 materia into grade 9 when EW comes out.

(assuming new materia tiers are added, which is a strong possibility)

and crafting/gathering materia generally sells higher than combat materia

[warm yacht]

Is that a strong possibility?

[obsidian patio]

so converting all the combat materia into crafting/materia can be a decent profit

[warm yacht]

If so then I would be stupid to try and sell it now\

[obsidian patio]

if you want to be extra greedy, stockpile and buy cheap grade 8 materia off the marketboard

Piety, Tenacity, Skill Speed, and probably Spell Speed too are generally the cheapest ones combat-wise

gatherer materia is also sometimes super cheap

[plucky bone]

that one works for the free trial right? i didnt payed for it yet

[warm yacht]

Don't I need crafters leveled to do this? I dont really understand how the materia conversion thing you mentioned works

[obsidian patio]

only to like level 20 or so to unlock the conversion option

30 at the very most

[slate arrow]

i have no idea

[plucky bone]

well only one way to find out

trying it now

[obsidian patio]

oops wrong quest, only need level 19 of any crafter.

"Marvelously Mutable Materia" from Kokomasu near Mutamix.

[warm yacht]

Is it entirely random?

The grade of materia you get, that is.

[obsidian patio]

it's based on what you feed it

if they're all the same grade, you never get a lower grade

so all grade 7 always gives a grade 7 back with a chance of grade 8

you also never get the exact same materia back

so feeding a piety 7 never gives back a piety 7

so ideally you want to feed 5 different materia of the same grade each time

to maximize chance of upgrading the grade of the materia

[warm yacht]

So I'd split my VIII materia into 5 equal shares

[vivid plaza]

How do you get the gc promos from squads?

[warm yacht]

And then take all my VII materia and upgrade those to VIII

[upper tree]

!action Intervention

[zinc orbit]

**Intervention** : lvl 62 PLD (50 Oath Gauge) (10.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Reduces target party member's damage taken by 10%.
Duration: 6s
Additional Effect: Increases damage reduction by another 50% of the effect of Rampart or Sentinel if either are active
Oath Gauge Cost: 50

Powered by XIVAPI

[upper tree]

How does this work? (additional effect)

[obsidian patio]

Complete the level 40 flagged mission and then do 5 different squadron dungeons, followed up by another flagged mission at 50.

[warm yacht]

Crit and DH materia will probably be the best

[vivid plaza]

@obsidian patio tyvm

[obsidian patio]

!faq pldmiti

[zinc orbit]

<:pld:803036604449030215> **Mitigation Cheatsheet**

[river vortex]

is 200 ping way too much for mch/nin?

[warm yacht]

So If I get all non-dh or crit materia VIII, and feed in 5 of them, I'm basically guaranteed to get IX crit and DH

[obsidian patio]

you can still get crafting and gathering materia

[celest coral]

Ok. Clan hunts. If I wanna join a train/get rewards for killing the monsters in question, do I have to grab the marks/notes thingies before I slay theM?

[warm yacht]

oh not limited to combat

I see

[obsidian patio]

but crafting/gathering materia early on in the expansion can sometimes sell for really good

[obsidian patio]

A/S ranks don't have hunt bills, you always get the reward if you contribute enough damage/healing

[celest coral]

Ah cool cool

[obsidian patio]

Probably. :\

[celest coral]

So in most cases when the Centurio Hunt server announces a train or posts in the linkshell feed that some A/S monster is up, I can just tag along?

[silver ruin]

yea you need probably sub 100 ping for mch and nin

friend was clipping at 105 ms

[celest coral]

Thank goodness I live in Cali haha

I've seen pings of 30ms

[obsidian patio]

make sure you're in a party, but yes.

being in a party makes it much easier to get max rewards

[warm yacht]

So then ideally I'd want an even mix of Piety/Spell Speed/Skill Speed/Tenacity/Determination materia, all grade VIII, to maximize my chances of profit? And beforehand I should convert all of my VII materia to said distribution as well

[celest coral]

Why party. So I get credit?

Ahhhhh

Sigh. That rewards calculator

[silver ruin]

probably not piety

tennacity is also useless

didnt they say they were reworking piety or something?

[warm yacht]

For conversion

[silver ruin]

you want crit/direct hit/det

[obsidian patio]

not that i heard of for Endwalker

[silver ruin]

oh

[obsidian patio]

but yeah, if you want to grind out those 450 grade 7 materia for conversion you can

no point on waiting for those

[warm yacht]

I don't really have any other use for them

[upper tree]

So you cast Intervention after you have Rampant and/or Sentinel and will shield more damage to the target?

[warm yacht]

yeah

[upper tree]

I thought It increased my own shields 😄

[umbral void]

Doing my HW anime weapon quest. Now for the tokens, the craftable ones, am I able to just buy them off the market?

[obsidian patio]

yep, use it after using rampart and/or sentinel to better buff your target

[obsidian patio]

yes, they're also from your grand company at the 2nd lieutenant rank

though they're probably very cheap on the marketboard, only a couple thousand each from my experience

[umbral void]

Oh seems like market is better option considering I'd need to rank up company

Yes they are very cheap, thanks. was a little scared for a moment, thought I needed to level all crafters

[warm yacht]

And since I don't want to end up with Crit or DH materia I should probably convert most of my VII materia to those two so that I don't end up with VIII crit/DH

rather

[celest coral]

One more Hunt Q. First off, what's the point of the 3 other Hunt-related quests in ShB not unlocking anything 🤔

[warm yacht]

trade in most of my planiclusters for DH and crit materia

and then convert those to VIII hoping to get one of those 5 stats

[obsidian patio]

they do unlock the daily/weekly hunt bills, people just didn't label it right

[celest coral]

Ah okay haha

[umbral void]

What is the best method of obtaining the 1st set of tokens other than tombstones?

[warm yacht]

Poetics are really the best option if you don't want to do a ton of grindy beast tribe quests

[obsidian patio]

or spamming the first tier of the alexander raid

I think 3 or 5 clears per unid?

[dim marsh]

will scaeven gear be fine for my dps until 80? i can upgrade the weapon if ilvl is a lot better but idk how "necessary" it is to upgrade my armor/accessories

[umbral void]

oh lawd. Yeah I have the first sets of 2 tokens. Only need two more sets

[covert marlin]

what is the maximum number of shard/crystal

[umbral void]

god speed 😦

[obsidian patio]

9999

[covert marlin]

thank you

[lone bough]

Is there a way to mail myself something from an alt? For example I have my bags full with materials and don’t want to rush to maw to open a retainer. Anyway to have an alt hold my stuff

[obsidian patio]

you ideally want to upgrade at level 74/75, but unlike Heavensward/Stormblood leveling, there's no harsh/sudden stat jump

so you can be fine with scaevan to 80, but you should still try to get upgrades from dungeons

[obsidian patio]

nope

[dim marsh]

alright thank you

[lone bough]

So either vendor my supplies or rush my msq?

[obsidian patio]

the best alternative you can do is using a free company chest to transfer any tradable items

[umbral void]

Oh wait, looks like I can buy the treasure map off the market for the 3rd one. Are 100 allied seals easy to get?

[obsidian patio]

not really

unless you play blue mage

[lone bough]

Sadly I’m in a FC already

[umbral dune]

other than hunt bill, you can try your luck with some ARR rank A, they drop 40 each for max contribution

[shrewd kiln]

best place to cluster farm in bozja/zadnor?

[celest coral]

Do all the Hunt NPCs offer the same stuff?

[raven sage]

No

[warm yacht]

What's Rathlos/Rathalos EX like unsynced? Can either be done in a duo?

[raven sage]

The npcs are separated by expansion, so arr npcs won't sell what hw hunt npcs sell and so on

[dusky whale]

im level 30 carpentry where do i unlock desynthesis?

[opaque belfry]

im trying to play tripple triad with a friend, and get the message "<player> is unable to play at this time" is that because he is on the trial? I cant find the information anywhere on google. and I read the trial restrictions and see no mention of tripple triad either. does anyone have any clear information on this topic?

[umbral dune]

free trial can not pvp but they can still enter open tournament that actually a pvp, just not outside of that

[opaque belfry]

and that includes cards.... ok. i guess that makes sense

[obsidian patio]

duo is definitely doable

you might need to make use of the spare "Lives" to deal with the fire stacks from the stack marker

[warm yacht]

We might not either be a tank

[obsidian patio]

that's fine, the only unavoidable damage are from the adds

just gotta burst them down fast enough

and you have the potion duty action for healing

[warm yacht]

I just want the aug pants rn tbh

[barren shard]

How do you do eureka?

I don't understand what I need to do at all

I need to get crystals or something? And there's a weird wheel thing. I tried doing it by myself and died because stuff takes no damage. Do you need to be paired in like a squad before you go in?

[leaden ginkgo]

can eden's promise savages be viably grinded going in blind?

[robust light]

Where do you find platforms for housing

[barren shard]

Wdym like plots?

[leaden ginkgo]

like in terms of bosja raids difficulty and the eden's promise savages, how hard is eden?

[robust light]

Like those second floor things where people can climb to in chambers

[barren shard]

What

[sacred oracle]

Hello, i dont like DoH at all but i want to do it for moogle tribe, what's the less annoying class to craft? i dont care about profit 🙏

[barren shard]

I like miner

Super easy you just fly around to places marked on your minimap, and get tons of mats

[sacred oracle]

nooo that's gathering no?

[barren shard]

Oh true mb lol

[hot eagle]

probably alc or cul since they dont need as much stuff from the other crafters

[sacred oracle]

oh maybe can you do moogle tribe with gethering? or just crafting only?

[hot eagle]

moogle is crafting only

[sacred oracle]

i see, thanks

[hot eagle]

namazu are both and for shb crafter and gatherer got their own tribe

[keen swallow]

with this items i can give the stats of one of my armour piece to another armour?

[obsidian patio]

no

[keen swallow]

like make the lv 15 armour that looks cool have the stats of the lv27 armour that looks crap

[obsidian patio]

glamouring gives the appearance of an item to another

basically the reverse of what you said; making the level 27 armor look like the level 15 armor

[solemn jewel]

It's also impossible to glam the appearance of a higher lvl item on a lower lvl item

[gray crescent]

do i need to gear my retainer in low levels to get good venture?

cause i just give him level 1 weap, and proceed to venture, or is it all random?

[obsidian patio]

for non-quick ventures, yes.

[gray crescent]

i use quick ventures everytime

[keen swallow]

thats what i want to do hehe

how do i use it? ive been reading the description and trying to click on things but isnt working for me

[obsidian patio]

right click the item you want to use for the stats > cast glamour

then select the item you want the appearance of

[keen swallow]

it should be here right?

[leaden ginkgo]

First you need to unlock the glamour ability in Vesper Bay

[keen swallow]

oh i see

[leaden ginkgo]

But even then I recommend going further since by the time you get there you can also unlock glamour plates which are superior

[keen swallow]

alright ill just wait then

thanks for the help, to both

[leaden ginkgo]

No problem

[stiff fiber]

is there a way to make this smaller?

same with this text

[potent bane]

how do you zoom out your keybind options? playing on ps4 and Im not sure why my keybind is zoomed all the way in

Its looking like that

[leaden ginkgo]

I'd look into display

Seems like you got it upscaled

[heavy cedar]

Try to press R3 or L3 few times

[potent bane]

damn, that worked, thanks a lot

[frosty badger]

What are are some ideas to spend gil on?

I'm literally capped and had to divert extra to retainer

[spring lintel]

i understand that parses and logs are like my job cv, where do i make/train my parses for lvl 70 ultimates like uwu or ucob?

[obsidian patio]

1b gil???

[frosty badger]

More

1.1

[obsidian patio]

buy minions/mounts/other collectable stuff off the marketboard

spend 75m on the golden mounts

[frosty badger]

I did

[heavy cedar]

Share with us 😏

[obsidian patio]

buy stupidly overpriced 1.0 items

[frosty badger]

Lol

[hot eagle]

buy more 75m mounts and gift them xD

[rugged thicket]

red onion helm

[frosty badger]

Wow really.. actually thought of that but

Have no friends lol

[heavy cedar]

You have a fc?

[frosty badger]

Mean like close ones

I change fcs from time to time

[snow carbon]

if i change my class at lv 30 how do i change back to original class?

[heavy cedar]

Create yours & fill the bank deposit

[frosty badger]

What's the cap there?

[heavy cedar]

@snow carbon just by changing weapon

[snow carbon]

just change the weapon?

i see

[heavy cedar]

Dunno @frosty badger

[frosty badger]

I think I should look into starting my own fc

Can it be done in a day?

[heavy cedar]

Yes

[frosty badger]

Never tried before

[heavy cedar]

You just need some people with you to register

Can be 1 friend with 3 characters

[frosty badger]

Do they need to stay with my fc after it's established?

[heavy cedar]

Nah they can leave

[frosty badger]

So basically I can stay in my fc with just myself ?

[heavy cedar]

Yes

That's what I plan to do

[frosty badger]

Haha^^

[heavy cedar]

So I can have 2 big houses 🙂

[frosty badger]

Ooh right I forgot about that..

[sacred oracle]

how do u cap gil plz share secret 👀

[frosty badger]

I want a big house too

[obsidian patio]

be a monster on the marketboard

also take advantage of patch days

[heavy cedar]

@sacred oracle instead go to work IRL you go to work IG 😏

[obsidian patio]

when there's new stuff

[frosty badger]

Market board is the real endgame

[obsidian patio]

making new gear or furniture in the first day or two can be killer money

Back in Patch 4.4 or so, I made over 10m gil in a week JUST by reselling materia I stockpiled over the course of patch 4.3

[frosty badger]

I go to work too

[obsidian patio]

I could've made double-triple that if i actually crafted endgame gear to sell

[frosty badger]

Lol one example is selling fashion week garments and such

[heavy cedar]

Every update check on the new items then you can sell the raw matetial + semi crafted material + end craft stuff

Can make few millions per day

[silver ruin]

since nobody answered this, currennt savage teier

tier**

they ask for logs that were current

aka, not old content

[snow carbon]

can marauder wear shiled at lv 1?

[obsidian patio]

no

marauder doesn't use a shield at all

[snow carbon]

when can i start wearing shield?

i mean paladin

[obsidian patio]

1

[snow carbon]

just buy shield from shops?

[obsidian patio]

yep

[snow carbon]

who's better at tank? PLD or WAR>

?

[heavy cedar]

None, just play the one you prefer 🙂

[obsidian patio]

Tanks are super well balanced

[heavy cedar]

It's all up to you

[sacred oracle]

pld in endwalker kinda sus

[obsidian patio]

It's too early to judge the classes without seeing all the tooltips

[honest anvil]

even with tooltips it’s kinda hard to judge …

[obsidian patio]

tooltips let people theorycraft out openers/rotations to get a sense of flow and "when to use this"

[thorny nest]

Is it possible to defeat Titan on (hard) difficulty with a level 60 blue mage?

[wintry sable]

Can someone explains whats the difference between early-access to EW and the launch day?

[obsidian patio]

Early Access for all intents and purposes is the official launch of endwalker

[wintry sable]

Aka jobs and male vieras only? Like a WoW prepatch?

[obsidian patio]

Launch day is when store-related stuff, like licenses and what to buy, get updated.

all of endwalker patch 6.0 is available on the first day of early access

[wintry sable]

Why not everything in the same day?

This sound more complicated than it should be

[obsidian patio]

incentive for pre-ordering, and to give physical collector's edition buyers the ability to play if they didn't get the package yet due to delays

since early access code and actual game code are different things

[wintry sable]

I see

[spring lintel]

thats weird since lvl 70 content cant use lvl 80 abilities but i rest my case

[honest anvil]

i’m guessing everything same day is rough on server and infrastructures too >.>

[obsidian patio]

oh the servers are definitely going to burn to the ground

expect queues above 1k for the bigger servers on day 1

[honest anvil]

ye might consider not logging out at all once you’re in 1st week or so …

i think stormblood had a rollback around release time cause server problems …

[obsidian patio]

I don't remember a rollback happening

BUT

some players got locked out of the game because they queue'd into a duty while sitting in a chair/seat

[cobalt pagoda]

does any one know an VIDEO guide for soloing POTD? I know there is an writen guide but the amount of writen info is stagering :/

[obsidian patio]

in terms of detailed ones, not really. :\

[cobalt pagoda]

well I will take the video ones any way, there is tooo much info

[uneven wedge]

is there a site where I can look up which vendor sells which dye? I'm on trial so I can't use the market board, and the wikis I can find only list crafting details for each dye, not the vendors

[obsidian patio]

garland tools

[uneven wedge]

thank you!

[obsidian patio]

lets you look up items and see what vendors sell them if any

[dull heron]

Hi, I have been thinking about buying the game as I enjoy the trial, do the official site have some time periods which will likely to be on sales like the steam version? or the sales time are all random??

[uneven wedge]

as an example, I guess this means no vendors sell this specific dye, right?

[obsidian patio]

correct

[obsidian patio]

sale times are basically random

[dull heron]

So...there are no way to tell when will the next sale come?

[obsidian patio]

besides assumptions and guesses from the last time a sale happened, pretty much

[dull heron]

okok, thank you for answering!

[leaden ginkgo]

Is there any way I can skip a quest, one story quest has me going into a dungeon and I can’t get the players for it

[keen swallow]

about the jobs, i cant ever becoome samurai if my class is archer right?

u can change job always u want but only if its ranged dps in my case?

[agile turret]

when looking at armor items as I level a class
should I worry about stats as much early on
or can I just focus on the defenses
and worry about the stat bonuses later on at higher levels?

[leaden ginkgo]

hi, does anyone recall where you can get hailstorm of casting gear + augmented version of it ?

[prisma hill]

nope gotta finish all msq dungeons.

[sacred oracle]

yes for early just look at ilevel and color Blue>green>white basically

[hot eagle]

idylshire npc should sell it iirc

[warm yacht]

Can rath ex unsynced be done blind with 4 people?

[patent storm]

How to enable other hotbars? I have only 3 active. I want one vertical bar

[obsidian patio]

character config > hotbar settings

[cobalt pagoda]

what? were did you got that idea? sam can be unlock as long as you have SB bought and any job at lvl 50 (combat job)

[patent storm]

Oh that is how. I was in HUD layout

Thank you

[obsidian patio]

hud layout can do it too, but it's a bit more involved

[leaden ginkgo]

thank you sir

[sacred oracle]

you can right click on hotbar in hud to enable it

[leaden ginkgo]

where can I augment it? (shire gear)?

[umbral dune]

the middle for armor, right for weapon

[agile turret]

gotcha
I wasn't even looking that closely at the item level, much less the stats for vitality/strength/etc.
mostly the defense/magic defense scores
I'm only lvl 30 right now on a new character
so I feel like I have a while before I need to worry about specific gear pieces and stats

[umbral dune]

shire is the II category

[keen swallow]

sb is the expansion?

[cobalt pagoda]

yeah stormblood

[keen swallow]

and being bard lv 50 i can accept the sam quest and just like that?

[obsidian patio]

Shire gear is already augmented

[outer mural]

you can change to any job regardless

[obsidian patio]

Old tomestone gear is already upgraded when you buy it, to make it easier to gear up for the older levels

[outer mural]

you just can’t swap to samurai because you need to buy shadowbringers to unlock stormblood

[warm yacht]

Can rath ex unsynced be done blind for the first time with 4 people?

[outer mural]

yeah it’s dogshit easy

just annoying with the stuns

[warm yacht]

im familiar with all the normal mechanics

[obsidian patio]

extreme is basically the same as normal but the stack mechanic repeats 3 times per occurance and leaves puddles

and higher damage overall

[leaden ginkgo]

how many eden raids are there?

[keen swallow]

cool!

[obsidian patio]

12

[leaden ginkgo]

arent there supposed to be 12?

[outer mural]

yes 12

[leaden ginkgo]

i unlocked 4 and i just unlocked the savage

[umbral dune]

is he happen to be a SCH cus he can just lvl SMN to 80 and have a duo job at that level as well without any knowledge whatsoever

[leaden ginkgo]

idk where to find the other 8

[obsidian patio]

keep doing the normal mode story

[sick osprey]

in the new live letter devs said that party finder will now distinguish between pure healer and barrier healer. does SCH count as pure or barrier ?

[obsidian patio]

the next quest should be in mord souq

[obsidian patio]

barrier

[outer mural]

barrier

it means it’s a mitigation focused healer

[leaden ginkgo]

i checked google and there are only 4?

[obsidian patio]

AST is being remade as a pure healer and is now diurnal by default

[sick osprey]

does that mean white mage will be a mandatory job since its the only pure healer then ?

[outer mural]

that’s eden’s gate

eden’s verse is the next four

[leaden ginkgo]

oooh

thanks

i got it now

[outer mural]

astrologIan is a pure healer in EW

[sick osprey]

oh ok ty

[outer mural]

it’ll also only be a category for barrier/healer for party finder afaik

so double pure / double barrier is fine

[leaden ginkgo]

im excited for this raid, are they bringing back life in the empty lol

[obsidian patio]

[outer mural]

trying to

no spoilies tho

[leaden ginkgo]

queues are instant too, i guess people still queue for this

[cursive ridge]

is there a way to generate LB solo on a training dummy or something? I want to check out the animations

[leaden ginkgo]

alright lol thanks! got my answers

[obsidian patio]

nope, but Explorer mode lets you enter level 70 dungeons and SHB dungeons

and lets you place a dummy and freely use LB attacks

[outer mural]

can even swap classes inside

[cursive ridge]

don't know why i didn't think of this sooner, i can just youtube them

[umbral dune]

there have not any maint this month right?

[obsidian patio]

[umbral dune]

maint happen monthly or there is some skip in between?

[obsidian patio]

when needed, basically.

They don't really do them without a reason

[leaden ginkgo]

It's just me or the game lags a lot when you are playing with the squadron? Everywhere else seems fine

Got dced twice already and my internet seems to be fine

[umbral dune]

dont aggro too much with squadron

[raven bolt]

Any NIN experts explain what that secondary effect from Hakke was inside of Doton during the 6.0 trailer?

[umbral dune]

you die because you take too much damage at one

[obsidian patio]

unknown, probably just extra damage

[tribal anvil]

Is gliderskin maps lvl 80?

[obsidian patio]

we'll have to wait for the media tour to see the tooltips

[obsidian patio]

yes

[tribal anvil]

So why is zouraskin maps better?

[clear cove]

was there any word on viera and hats during the dev letter?

[arctic fossil]

Do you have to unlock the challenges for Gold Saucer?

[dim marsh]

do people still run beast tribes after everything is maxed? if so which ones typically?

[clear cove]

crafting ones probably

[umbral dune]

play each minigame one to unlock correspond challenge log

[light lion]

Do you still get loot from running dungeons with squadron/Trust?

[twilit arch]

yes

[obsidian patio]

Zonureskin can spawn a portal to a treasure dungeon with more valuable stuff and tons of gil from the coffers inside

[arctic fossil]

Oh okay thanks! :)

[obsidian patio]

a full run gives like over 150k in pure gil if you're lucky enough

[dim marsh]

i see thanks

[tribal anvil]

But gliderskin cant I assume

[obsidian patio]

correct

[tribal anvil]

Ok thank you

[obsidian patio]

zonureskin does need a party to successfully do, but a party of three or four is more than enough

with a tank and healer, of course

[tribal anvil]

Yeah I just didn't understand why some maps are better than others

[silver ruin]

its not about usable abilities based on lv, its about proving you can do well on savage based content when its current lol (and proving you know your class), cause ults are harder than savage, and unsynced savage is a lot easier to do, hence parses while it was current

[runic cairn]

one's designed to solo, one's designed for a party

[tribal anvil]

Ok thanks!

[vernal urchin]

You get them from doing either leveling or level 60 dungeons

No matter what you get in leveling, if you beat it you'll get the memory

Most people ran antitower 6 times lol

[lethal mist]

On the Character menu you can scroll to zoom in on your character, but it's always centered so I only see the stomach/groin area zoomed in. How do I pan? I wanna check out my earrings or something. Can't drag it or use directionals?

[vernal urchin]

Right click and drag

[leaden ginkgo]

[rare kettle]

@leaden ginkgo if you have the means to get it, i think yes

[obsidian patio]

yeah it's the easiest/fastest way to immediately get to endgame content if you are willing to pay the gil for it

just make sure to only buy HQ stuff

aka stuff with

[leaden ginkgo]

[obsidian patio]

no slots needed

[dusty shard]

do I have to store the extra barding in my inventory

[obsidian patio]

when you consume a barding, it gets stored in the companion menu

[dusty shard]

oh ok

[obsidian patio]

and you pick and set what to wear for the chocobo to use

[dusty shard]

thx

[shrewd kiln]

what's the point of the armoire? isn't putting things in the dresser almost always a better idea?

[umbral dune]

dresser is limit to 400 in total

[twilit arch]

armoire is free space

if an item can go into the armoire, you should put it int he armoire

[obsidian patio]

only exception being if you want to keep an expensive dye on the item

[shrewd kiln]

but then you've to glam manually every time, right?

[twilit arch]

Since its limited to the lvl 50 artifact gear, achievement items and seasonal stuff

no

you can use armoire items for plates

[obsidian patio]

there's an option on the dresser to pick items from the armoire

when making a plate

[gleaming nymph]

[gleaming nymph]

i see thank you

[honest anvil]

does the ffxv event have different scenes based on your answer at camp?

[obsidian patio]

Noctis just mentions a different Chocobro/friend of his from his party/group

[umbral dune]

!faq poetics

[zinc orbit]

What should I spend my Poetics on? How do I get more?

Text guide on what to spend Tomestones of Poetics on

Video guide on how to get more Tomestones of Poetics

[umbral dune]

the above link @clear cove

[obsidian patio]

yep

for the different dialogues

[heady knot]

wow thank god delubrum savage is not as punishing as few months back

[obsidian patio]

still pretty intense, but much more lenient on the DPS checks

[cursive ridge]

do we know numerical values of Astral Fire potency increases?

[obsidian patio]

40%, 60%, 80%

for one/two/three stacks

[cursive ridge]

interesting, thanks

[white sierra]

How do you do this where you have abilities floating above the hotbar? I need it for black mage since I can never tell when I have thundercloud procs

[cursive ridge]

do you mean the extra hotbars? you can enable them in the hud layout and move them wherever you want

[obsidian patio]

yep, enable the PC hotbars and place them where you want them

and then you drag skills onto them with virtual mouse, which is turned on with L2+R3 IIRC

[cursive ridge]

also, in endwalker, the 'procs' like thundercloud will be a separate UI element, separated from generic buffs

so you can move and enlarge specifically procs wherever you wish

[obsidian patio]

^

[white sierra]

I got that part, but all the empty squares for skills get in the way too, is there a way to make them transparent but still see the skills?

[cursive ridge]

yes

[obsidian patio]

option in hotbar settings to hide empty slots

[cursive ridge]

hotbars section

[white sierra]

Ah ok thank you.

[faint dust]

hi guys, my account is registered under UK region, Im trying to get the Shadowbringers DLC and if I change the store region to UK, there's no DLC item available in the store, it seems that I could only get the DLC from EU store, but will it be the same if I purchase from EU region ? Seriously need some help as I just recently returned to the game after several years.

[cursive ridge]

pretty sure europe region includes uk?

[umbral dune]

it just need to match your account region

in which it is EU in your pic

[faint dust]

hmm ok, so which means the items from EU store should match to my account ?

[umbral dune]

so buying from EU store is the right place

[faint dust]

I had no issue when buying the collector's edition for Heavensward but this DLC confuses me lol

sure many thanks @umbral dune @cursive ridge

[inland pasture]

Does anyone know what that potion is?

[hasty turtle]

does bozja give anything in place for exp if you do it at lv80?

[obsidian patio]

strength potion

[cursive ridge]

looks like a potion of strength

[spring lintel]

Why do people do party finders for completion unsynced? is there some sort of reward for completing them?

[obsidian patio]

tomestones of revelation

you still get first time bonus for doing the duty unsynced

so it can be fast poetics

[spring lintel]

what challenge is there for unsynced content

[cursive ridge]

it's the opposite of challenge

[umbral dune]

my bad

[obsidian patio]

none, it's specifically to do old content easier

[white sierra]

Is there a way to make the little lock symbol not show up?

[cursive ridge]

for lore, for glamours, for fun

[hasty turtle]

oh that's nice, do you get to weekly cap fast doing bozja or is still pretty slow?

[umbral dune]

put your job gauge over it cus there is no way

[cursive ridge]

The lock icon is only on hotbar 1. So if you replace it with another numbered hotbar and then hide hotbar 1 in the HUD setup you won't see it anymore.

but i wouldn't recommend it

[fluid quartz]

is it a good idea to quick synth when crafting?

[jagged holly]

well it depends what

[cursive ridge]

some stuff in the game changes your hotbar1 into other actions and i'm not sure it would work correctly if you do that

[jagged holly]

if you quick synth a material for another recipy you know you will HQ anyway then yes absolutly

[obsidian patio]

not that fast IMO, but still decent if you need to do bozja for relic or mettle grinding

[umbral dune]

it changes to pet hotbar so keep that bar nearby and it fine

[fluid quartz]

is there a way i can know if it will hq ?

[umbral dune]

no

[fluid quartz]

or does quck synth reduyce the chance of it being hq?

[jagged holly]

in quick synth? i dont think so

[cursive ridge]

i just learned to ignore the lock icon, doesn't bother me much

[umbral dune]

all quick synthesis are 1% HQ

[cursive ridge]

quick synth has a cap on the HQ chance no matter your stats it will never be 100%

[jagged holly]

Items created via Quick Synthesis have a chance to fail unless they are trivial in level compared to the crafter. There is a minimal chance of producing a high-quality item using Quick Synthesis regardless of whether you use HQ or Normal materials.

[cursive ridge]

i don't think it's 1%, feels much higher

[jagged holly]

lemme check that

i will craft as my lvl 80 crafter iron bars(lvl 1 item) with quick synth

[hasty turtle]

i see, thx

[obsidian patio]

feels like 15-20% for when i quick synth a ton of stuff

[hasty turtle]

on that topic, what's the fastest way to cap on weekly revelation?

[jagged holly]

but yeah use quick synth if HQ doesnt matter is the general rule of thumb

[cursive ridge]

that sounds about what i encountered too

[umbral dune]

you are using statistic which it precision heavily rely on sample size so unless you craft 1 million, the number is not that reliable

[jagged holly]

so i am not saying what i will get will be absolut conclusiv
but it gives a feeling in what area it could be

[leaden ginkgo]

is you want to know if it's 15,00 or 14,99% no, but 1000 is plenty to be accurate to 1% xD

[cursive ridge]

when you quick synth 100 items and like 20 of them become HQ it's highly unlikely the chance is 1%

[jagged holly]

^

[obsidian patio]

do Expert Roulette each day and if you can, join in on your server's hunt train whenever it pops up

https://discord.gg/dZTgnpv

[jagged holly]

but we know that when you use quick synth on a item close too your crafting lvl
the hq chance is basicly 1%
so assume that you wont get hq items

[hasty turtle]

i'm gonna look into hunt trains

thx again

[umbral dune]

our purposes are the speed so it becomes HQ or not is quite irrelevant

[jagged holly]

well but the question was "is there a way too know if it will be hq"

[umbral dune]

but i still dont know the purpose of removing perception?

[cursive ridge]

i stopped because i dont want to ruin my gear condition more

8/50 = 0.16

[umbral dune]

i think the % when you manually crafting and gathering are the most precise

[cursive ridge]

well yeah because the game tells you

[peak garnet]

Which class will have an easy time soloing t9 unsynced?

[obsidian patio]

any job with a ton of burst, like Samurai/Warrior/Summoner

[peak garnet]

Ugh will gnb work

[solid fog]

Why does "Engagement" exist for RDM? displacement already does more potency

[obsidian patio]

for when displacement will kill you

[jade quartz]

Also for double weaving

[obsidian patio]

also Engagement has no animation lock

[obsidian patio]

Maybe? I never tried the fight as GNB but they look like they got decent burst

[peak garnet]

Hmm ok

[hasty turtle]

the warring triad questline and trials' counterparts in stormblood and shadowbringers are the amaritama and the prototype weapons respectively, correct? (i don't know the official names for the latter two)

[obsidian patio]

The Four Lords (SB) and The Sorrow of Werlyt (SHB)

[final badge]

how do i know if bought endwalker already?

[solid fog]

What about reprise and moulinet

When do you use those ?

[hasty turtle]

thanks

[obsidian patio]

Moulinet is your aoe gauge spender

you use that instead of the melee gauge combo at 3 or more targets

And Reprise is for if you need to move for extended periods of time and can't stop to cast a spell for dual cast

and to adjust your mana as needed for manafication to avoid overcapping too much

You also spam it at the end of a fight if you won't be able to get another melee combo in

[jagged holly]

if you have a circle for endwalker early access you sued the code on this account and have it

[final badge]

ok so no? xD

you dont buy it on mogstation?

its only on se store?

[obsidian patio]

mogstation directly links to the SE store

[final badge]

imma buy something and hope for the best lol
