thx for the answers.
another q, is there a way to see which of the things my retainer can 'hunt' for that is worth the most?
zinc orbitBOT
grizzled marsh
@regal pawn Oh thank god. The flowchart and guides I was looking at seemed to make it sound like 1 per raid.
Even 3 per raid is exhausting but 18 would have been actual torture on SE's part.
faint flare
It got buffed last patch
faint flare
You did fates while you wait
regal pawn
it has updated info
grizzled marsh
Literally kill me.
faint flare
Doing fates while queing cut down the amount you needed
grizzled marsh
Even still.
faint flare
36 alliance raid is tame by relic standards
regal pawn
so yeah
used to be
36 raids
or
144-ish fates (assuming 25% average drop rate)
and yeah
36 alliance raids is fuck all
ARR and HW relics are pain
grizzled marsh
The FATEs still have a godawful drop rate right?
grizzled marsh
Yeah back in ARR I didn't get all that far into the relic weapon for my PLD.
vernal urchin
You can undersize a majority of the ARR and HW these days at least
grizzled marsh
I think I got to the stage where you get the sword and shield to turn white and then get them to glow.
Like the white version of the base AF sword/shield + glow.
Whcihever stage that was.
vernal urchin
Can't undersize for many if any of the ShB one
faint flare
None for Shadowbringers
grizzled marsh
Well if FATEs have a good drop rate now is there even any point to doing the Alliance raids?
For that step I mean.
grizzled marsh
Right but if the queue pops wouldn't it just be faster to keep grinding the FATEs if they have a good drop rate now?
faint flare
It's still 3 per run
grizzled marsh
Like in the time you do 1 Alliance raid to get 3 memories you could get way more memories from FATEs.
faint flare
Which is worth the time
grizzled marsh
Or is it still nowhere close to 100% chance?
regal pawn
nowhere close
faint flare
Not close
modest igloo
Or is it still nowhere close to 100% chance?
its still like 25% iirc
grizzled marsh
Oh someone said it was higher chance than the 25% it was before now.
regal pawn
it was 25%
primal gull
Like... 36 fucking alliance raid runs?
There's a step that's still in the game and that hasn't been changed at all the requires 180 normal raid competitions
grizzled marsh
@primal gull Which expansion relic is that?

took me like 4 nights lol\

90 Zadnor Skirmishes and 45 CEs

zadnor is too stronk
regal pawn

you literally just do it
grizzled marsh
180 runs though? That's batshit crazy.

You do it via Zadnor for skirmishes

Thanks 😁
faint flare
Oh. Well why use the raid number as the example then?
Cause that's what all be dumb brains do
grizzled marsh
Still 90 skirmishes is a nutso number.
faint flare
They do old content opposed to doing new shit
grizzled marsh
Is it 90 skirmishes -and- 45 CEs, or one or the other?
regal pawn
both
faint flare
Where's you're actually broken
modest igloo
Is it 90 skirmishes -and- 45 CEs, or one or the other?
both
grizzled marsh
Ewwwwwwww
primal gull
Oh. Well why use the raid number as the example then?
Because it's easier to say "180 raids" than "30 skirmishes and 15 CEs in each zone of Zadnor"
grizzled marsh
That would take me weeks.
regal pawn
also it wouldn't take weeks lol
i did it in like 4-5 days total
though i did raids for hte pink gems
faint flare
You can just do it while ranking up in Zadnor to finish the story
grizzled marsh
Yeah but I can't grind stuff hard like that. I get bored and tab out every few CEs.
faint flare
You literally just multi task
modest igloo
when zadnor came out i barely noticed the grind bc i was doing other stuff
grizzled marsh
Then I get distracted or go take a nap or have to go get food or something, lol.
faint flare
Zadnor gives xp, mettle, relic stuff and you're insanely overpowered
regal pawn
or get cryptlurker instead and go for non-relic bis
grizzled marsh
I mean I'm -in- Zadnor in the storyline part and I don't feel overpowered there. Now obviously the Mettle gains are way higher.
I'm rank 19.
faint flare

I went to Bozja first to level an alt job.

grizzled marsh
Are they like consumables or just extra actions or like... where do they even go? Just on your action bar? Like the game introduces the NPCs to indentify the thingies and shows you the chest but never really explains what this shit IS exactly.
faint flare
Essenses are permanent buffs applied on use
When you pull them out of the chest they go into your holster
Potions and essences you just click to use and they apply
Actions you slot them into the duty action slots
And they DID explain it to you
As one of the blue quests
grizzled marsh
Wait so Essences are permanent? So you use them and you're forever buffed in Bozja?
faint flare
They got you to get a lost fragment and appraise it
As long as you don't swap jobs or leave
It sticks
It's removed when you leave
grizzled marsh
Oh so you have to re-do it every time you get into a new instance.
Are they consumable?

Warrior as a whole is busted in Bojza cause Bloodsucker makes you literally immo...
bloodsucker + nascent flash 
grizzled marsh
The 1-shot mechanics just make stuff frustrating because you basically never have a chance to look down at your bars and with BRD you have just SO MANY BUTTONS you've having to look down at your bars all the time.
So it makes it hard to keep track of what's going on with mechanics.
faint flare
Rotation stuff usually just get muscle memory... For procs like bloodletter and stuff I just mindlessly mash it during mahe
Or just put your proc skills on a floating hotbar
And slap it somewhere visible
Or in general play safe as you learn the fight and once you learn the fight, then you can focus on rotation
Can't do shit when you're dead
grizzled marsh
Well there's a lot of abilities I have to click too just because BRD has so many abilities you run out of convenient keyboard buttons.
Like 1-2-3-4-5-6 and CTRL +1-2-3-4 or so.
That's about all I can reach easily.
faint flare
That's just a personal and comfort thing
grizzled marsh
And BRD has so many more abilities than that.
faint flare
Some people bind other skills and stuff
Like X, Z, c etc
Or whatever
Just binding stuff to where your hand restd
grizzled marsh
I feel like Z-X-C would be super awkward to reach with your fingers on WASD.

grizzled marsh
I guess you could use your thumb.
jade quartz
Are all good buttons
grizzled marsh
Q and E are strafe though.
patent citrus
buy MMO mouse or gamepad 😄
grizzled marsh
And R is autorun.
jade quartz
Q and E are strafe though.
You don’t need those
faint flare
Just experiment with stuff where your hand rests
jade quartz
Rebind strafe to A/D OR simply switch to legacy controls
QE strafe are wasted buttons plain and simple
grizzled marsh
Yeah I've thought about the MMO mouse thing but I have to use a vertical mouse for my wrist and they don't make MMO vertical mice. ;_;
jade quartz
I don’t know a single experienced player who keeps that nonsense
R is also way too useful to be used for something like auto run
Bind that elsewhere too
patent citrus
then try out controller 😄
grizzled marsh
R just feels so convenient for auto-run though.
faint flare
Yeah, buttons to just turn on the spot isnt that useful when you can just right click to spin
grizzled marsh
I actually used a controller back in 1.0 for what little I played back then. I can't remember -why- exactly because it was a long time ago, but for some reason controller was the way to go then so I bought an XBox controller for my PC.
jade quartz
So at least use QE
grizzled marsh
Once ARR came out I switched back to keyboard+mouse though.
jade quartz
They’re probably the best buttons imaginable for hotbars
regal pawn
put auto-run on middle mouse button
faint flare
Can always experiment with it again
regal pawn
if you got a scroll wheel
faint flare
Bard does fit pretty well on controller
jade quartz
My autorun is on something out of the way like \
grizzled marsh
Yeah I've got a scroll wheel. I've just always found that it's kind of hard to press the scroll wheel as a button because it's so easy for it to just spin instead.
jade quartz
Since you only use it when you’re gonna take your hand off the keyboard anyway
grizzled marsh
That said I could probably use the browser forward/back buttons on the mouse as something since they're right under my thumb.
regal pawn
I got sprint on
and auto run is on middle mouse button
but my middle mouse button is broken
so it's on the macro key to the left of escape
also
yeah
i used the forward/back buttons as well
for my black mage it's the 2 blizzard spells we use
and using shift + those is the movement to party member and to leylines
very handy
grizzled marsh
I like that Pitch Perfect and Apex Arrow have very obvious sounds when they're ready I just wish you didn't have to constantly watch Bloodletter while Ballad is playing to check for the cooldown refresh.
grizzled marsh
Yeah but you'd have to be mindlessly spamming it while doing the rest of your abilities to and I don't think I have the mental dexterity to do that, lol. Like patting your head and rubbing your stomach at the same time.
I can only ever really pay attention to 1 thing at a time.
A lot of times I find myself franctically just pressing a random button because I can't keep up with everything that's going on.
faint flare
Well if you have nothing else to weave during the gcd
grizzled marsh
Sometimes BRD's craziness makes me miss the days of ARR 3-button PLD.

That said I wish Paeon wasn't such a boring phase of BRD life.

Yup

Short highlanders

But they were in the game in 1.0 before Highlander models existed.

They continue to look like Midlanders.
Otherwise it'd be really weird if suddenly in 2.0 they got jacked and gained a foot in height.

Speaking of 1.0 characters the question I have is this... WHY DOES F'LHAMINN LOOK LIKE A GRANDMA?! She looked like... 18 or something in the 1.0 trailer with the monster rampaging through the streets of Ul'dah. And it's 5 years from 1.0 to 2.0. So why does she dress like she's 60 now?

Hoary Boulder not count?
last sapphire
Speaking of 1.0 characters the question I have is this... WHY DOES F'LHAMINN LOO...
Idk she aged fast.
It was like 10 years or something
grizzled marsh
2.0 started 5 years after the end of 1.0. Not sure how long 1.0 itself lasted timeline wise.
last sapphire
10 or 15 I can't remember.
grizzled marsh
Either way our girl F'lhaminn shouldn't be needing reading glasses already regardless.
jade quartz
Speaking of 1.0 characters the question I have is this... WHY DOES F'LHAMINN LOO...
Her model is actually identical
Her “older” appearance is just down to presentation
It really is just the glasses and frumpy robe that makes her seem older
grizzled marsh
@jade quartz Oh I know her model is the same.
But they're presenting her that way presumably because she's supposed to be old now.
Which makes no sense timeline-wise.

i doubt the answer will be yes, but is there a way to move all of the job gauges at once in the UI or would i have to swap to every job and move them one at a time?

Okay so Im trying to optimize my tanking a bit and I realized that I could pull the next pack once the first few were down to half, but I need a way to tell my healer that Im going to yeet over to the next pack and I need them to stay a bit closer so I can do it without immediately getting shafted at times. How do I make chat macros?

It's incredibly inefficient

I think “in theory” there are like extremely few scenarios where chainpulling could be an option
proven kayak
Ive had so many cases of big pulls going disastrously without chain so I'm going to disagree on the uselessness of it, its quickened some of the dungeon runs ive been on. NOW Ive also have had an extremely bad time with healers being not ready to do full pulls so like...
faint flare
Big pulls only go bad with trash healers or improper use of defensive
It's not the norm
And should never be the norm
ripe hound
Basically it’s recommended that if you can’t do big pulls, just do small pulls
proven kayak
About 90% of the healers ive been with have had issues doing more than two packs, and sometimes struggle with 1 so Im skeptical unfornately
ripe hound
Don’t chain pull because the other 3 person gets stressed out
faint flare
I give healers basically 2 chances before going to smalls
First is just for mistakes
Second then something is wrong
ripe hound
But yeah it still depends on the fight
Some dungeons are more “only try big pull once”
faint flare
Also just checking what gear people have and all
tiny valve
Dunno how running while being hit and not letting healer cast can help them tho

ARR dungeons can be pretty wack but in HW w2w is the standerd
mostly since theres like a wall preventing pulling everything

Some dungeons can be abit rough on larger pulls, bardaams and Holmestier have rough pulls

I think our situations are just very different as my healers are massively inconsistent, sometimes I can do a 4 pull and sometimes I can only pull one on the same mobs and this isnt really a gear thing from what I can tell so 🤷♂️ .

Started running old content on min ilv no echo, currently at T5 and pretty much anything cancels my cast (stuff I can't dodge)
It's really annoying as a BLM and I wondered if it was worth it trying get rid of it(I think there is a stat for that ?) or it was like that in the good ol' days (obviously I use surecast but it's far from enough)
little swift
get used to using slidecasting
and having a bit of spell speed to reduce your gcd cast time might help a bit
!faq slidecast
zinc orbitBOT
tiny valve
I can't dodge it, I know how to slide cast and I play SS build
little swift
are you talking about hits that hit too hard and interrupt?
tiny valve
Yes
Doesn't happen in current content but apparently it does in the old ones
(at least not on unavoidable stuff)
little swift
outside of like boss autos or being outright killed it doesn't happen much in later content
you might want to fiddle with your sps tiering then but do note that you'd have to do it on gear that isn't synced down if you're going to include melds
because melds are ignored when your ilvl is synced
tiny valve
I was thinking of using food, I'm sure I've seen a stat reducing the chances, piety or tenacity maybe but I don't see it anymore
In the description I mean
little swift
piety and tenacity don't apply to you
piety is for healers and tenacity is for tanks
spell speed reduces cast time
outer mural
piety is pointless in the first place due to how much ice phase gives
even if it did work
tiny valve
I know, but I'm sure I've seen a stat reducing chances of being interrupted

anything I can do to fix that?

not really, you need to adapt to paying attention and not relying entirely on something like faerie
you get a regen later on via aspected diurnal benefic

I don't see myself playing anything else, especially on raids

the fairy did the heavy lifting
outer mural
this is an opportunity to face adversity and a learning curve by trying to overcome it with practice
it's a good skill to look at player list in general
you should try to get used to paying attention. if it's hard, play on lower level dungeons like satasha so you get used to the very basics of not having a faerie

Then depending on mechanics and how well your Dps are at avoiding AOE, heal them only when necessary

yes but the only difference is that it gets melds

the default one does not have melds, upgrades you get from BLU questline gives you up to 2 meld slots

At max level, on top of supplying other crafters and gatherers, you can make gils by crafting entry raid gears
