and yeah, technically any can but you don't want certain ones depending on job
90% of the time it's gonna be crit, det, or DH anyway though
discounting sks/sps or piety needs
The materia itself tells you the minimum item level needed to fit on the item
Grade 6 materia, for example, can only fit on i290 gear or higher
Anyone here familiar with HW relics I was wonder why their is a varying amount
60-80x Umbrite - 75 Poetics each, 4500-6000 total. This is the only way to get them.
Umbrite gains RNG bonus points past the first 40
Though more realistically, it’s like 70-80
instead of 3 points per sand, you now get between 3 and 6 points
so if you gamered and got 6 points for every single one, you'd only have to use 60
its rng you cna't control whether you get it or not
that makes sense
it can happen while you're offline
does anyone know how much xp the stormblood post msq gives in total?
is there a way to make a rez macro that only puts the text in chat if successfully cast? i have a bad habit of mashing the casts multiple times to make sure they while i run/stop
maybe put a wait before the text?
not an exact number but i was 72 by the end of it
a wait equal to the cast time
no cast times on verraise
ah
Am I able to reach the black Pegasus with random people that are in palace of the dead because I can’t find anyone with party finder
nope
if you hit a macro the whole thing plays out
gross
potd can be solo'd but it's gonna be challenging either way, solo or with a party
if you sit in pf long enough youll probably get a party eventually
Can I watch the Endwalker trailer after 5.0, or do I need to finish 5.5?
I cant load the launcher or go to lodestone or mogstation. Anyone know why?
After 5.5
Ok
Im a returning player at Aether - Gilgamesh since 2016, if i transfer to a world under ‘preferred’ would I get the Road to 70 buff?
No
Ah ok thanks
best leveling roulletes are still -> leveling - MSQ - Alliance?
Yes
hey so I'm looking for some help I'm doing a quest called losing One's tempered but I don't know how I'm supposed to use the sacred ash on the subdued tempered
Should be like any other "use" item quest. Weaken the specified enemy, then use the item before they die.
okay
10-15% HP is the approximate range where you can do so.
does anyone know what's the shortest level 70 dungeon for farming emotions ( last mission for resistance weapon)
Antitower.
i didn't know it was an item
Wait, that's 60
hell's lid
sweet thanks
It should appear as a small icon by the quest description, and also be in your key items.
Hello! i need help to finish Coil Of Bahamuth part 4, someone can help me to finish it? im at Primal server, famfrit

Why am I only getting 4k exp for msq?
not really what this channel is for, if you need help with coils you can always use party finder to see if anyone will do it with you unsynced
post expansion quests don't give a lot of exp because it was level capped at the time
you're not gonna need the exp anyway
Ah, alright
you'll start getting a lot more when you reach the next expansion
Ty ty
so is there a consensus on the fastest ways to get these? 
I did the fates method and got them fairly quickly
wasn't guaranteed each time ofc, but still better than running alliance raids imo
yeah that's what i was wondering
if I want to use the same item for glamor in two plates, but with different dye colors, do I need to buy 2 copies of item?
or is there a way to bind dye to a glamor plate?
right click the item once it's on the plate
you will still consume dye from your inventory but it'll be plate-specific
ooo thank you
Que while doing fates
No reason not to do both
good point! 
I have a question on "Iconoclasm" or Eden's normal raid where there are clouds with colors. Here, does the movement arrow correspond with the character's way of looking? I rotated my screen and the arrow changed direction, so I'm wondering.
direction of teleport is your character’s facing direction
And it's relative to your characters facing
If the arrow is pointing forward then, should I look backward to prevent me from falling?
It's literally like any forced movement mechanics
Thanks!
If the arrow is infront of you, it will always be infront of you regardless where you turn
It's just forced movement mechanics
Like in Sirensong
That's good to know! The arrow thing frequently changes direction, so I was always confused
Cause just liked forced movement, it's character based
I'm levelling PLD in squadron dungeons and I'm using all the tank CDs I can but I still end up wiping. Its infuriating because as far as I know I'm not doing anything wrong? Am I?
It's just visual showcasing
Are you popping them all at once, or one at a time?
how you do in a normal dungeon
like a sane tank
Which dungeon is it? It's very rare to die there
Brayflox
That should be a piece of cake
yeah I know but its not.
thats why I'm asking lol
I think you are being hit by dragon's attack all the time. Where do you die?
The npc healer can be abit dumb at times
Tanks don't have long queue, so why don't you just go to brayflow to get a human healer. If you still die, it's a big problem
if im leveling a class at 70 should i queue up for all the 70 dungeons or the 69 one?
hey guys i did the golden saucer quest a while back and i can't figure how to go back lol
69
Or do beast tribe quest, which is better than 1 dungeon run
have you checked out your squadron member settings? you can set them to defense, balance, offense. if they are unlocked
thanks
yeah...
I have a question about gaze attacks. Do they get activated right after the enchantment finishes? Or, do they get activated at the effect afterwards? When I instantly go back attacking after the enchantment, I sometimes get hit.
I'll try to mess around once I get out of here
Also, look at your gears. Your gears might be tremendously bad
I once went stone vigil with Lv30 gears, and it was a nightmare
Gear is good
For basically all gazes in the expansions, you can look back once the cast bar finishes
For 1-50 content, you either have to wait for the animation to fully finish or the game to tell you that it missed you
Not sure what I'm doing wrong
Thanks. I wonder why I get hit though
What gears are you wearing? You might be wearing gears for DPS
nah its about on par for what I'm doing
Does your gear specify the tank jobs?
yes
👌
I've played this game before I think I know how it works
Just get a human healer, and see how it goes. After you enter, just see what your HP is. If it's lower or about the same as DPS or healer's, your gears are in trouble
NPC healers are probably just being dumb
wait no
that
that was poor timing
sorry
Also, mitigation skills like rampart are used for usual mobs and you don't reserve them for boss. Getting attacks from 5-6 mobs is much stronger than boss attack.
so how do map parties go and work
not sure what the problem is but I'll take everything into account and mess around later
thanks
:)
It's pretty strange though. I never die in big pulls at aurum vale with npc healers
yeah
I'll report back later
once I know what the main issue is
or have a better grasp on it
usually what happens is you make a party of ideally 8 people, then everyone who has a map puts the coordinates in chat, then you go around to those areas and find them
whoever owns the map has to dig for it
you then kill all the mobs guarding the chest, and then go through the portal to do the stuff inside until you get to the end or you get kicked out
repeat until you run out of maps
does the other 7 people get anything form the owners map?
that's decided by the person who makes the party
usually yes
everyone gets money for doing it but sometimes people say those whoever owns the maps gets the stuff
but like golden says usually it's free for all
aighty thx :3
think it varies a lot by DC too, i see a lot of owner need/rest greed parties on primal
but worth noting you also get random drops directly into your inventory just for being in the party, like materia, and no one ever tries to lay a claim to those
I have a question, but is there a discord channel or some external place where I can see rare FATEs?
it's just telling you where to go to do the quest
I also wonder how you can gather people for those FATEs. I tried gathering people for Special Tarasque Force today and got around 5 people, but it was impossible to kill the turtle in 15 min.
try looking in #resources
Hunt tracker discords usually also track super FATEs.
can you sell equipment you already wore on the marketboard if you repair it?
No
i believe once you spiritbond it, it gets the
Repairing doesn't affect spirit bonds
if you put it on and take it right off, yes its still tradable
so if i used it once like crafted with it
Nope
Right so finally at the labyrith of the ancients,does doing them unsynced make you lose first completion bonus/loot?
You can unsync alliance raid?
Yes, but you still need the minimum number of people to clear mechanics
i just did an unsync dungeon and still got a wonderous tail seal for first time
Loot from chest, no
Labrynth requires at least 15, 4 per plate
Yeah, the three hallway mechanics
Also, unsync it when you reach it through doing msq?
Don't tell me that you are gonna unsync so you can play a lvl 54 job in a lvl 50 alliance raid
Anywau
Ignoring why would one unsync alliance raid
so min 3 players to go in, but realistically more
If you unsync a content, chest still works normally
You still get first time completion bonus

does Salted earth snapshot raid buff? or real time?
okay so I cannot access a lot of ffxiv web servers or have my patch launcher work
anyone have any remedies?
I believe it snapshots, if it even does
Snapshots player buffs on application, however it checks enemy debuffs in real-time for each tick.
Unlike a regular dot.
So like, if you put it up during trick attack, the whole duration won’t remain buffed by trick attack once the trick window ends
<understood> <thank you>
when you use hide can other players see you
like fc members or friends
am playing hide and seek with my FC
yes, they can, but also that's adorable
😛
Im at the quest "speak to quiverman to enter tamtara" but quiverman is nowhere to be seen. Im at the right msq mark
Can someone help
Do you mean this quest?
The npc should be nearby the entrance of where the dungeon is, but not always right beside it
Yep
And im right at the coordinate
Been looking around too
Maybe bug? Can relogin solve it?
@minor fulcrum
I would try relogging
And check that your character is a high enough level to do the quest too, you may have swapped to a lower level job
Open your duty finder
Oh that. Alrighty
You may have talked to them already and it's available, but the quest might have bad UI text
isn't tam-tara entrance underground? maybe you're just standing above it?
It is
Ah yes.. that's the issue 😭 i did that mistake repeatedly
Should be a lot of lvl 12 or so skeles
Thanks for helps
Quick question for blue spells do I need to have it actually hit me for me to learn it or do I just merely need to see it used
the minimap is usually good for that kind of thing, has arrow down/up for these situations
no
you do not need them to hit you
you just need the monster to finish their cast
Well apparently I made learning bad breath harder than it needed to be
(imagine them not asking this question and trying to learn tail screw)
I never knew about the arrow until I got into stb 
Just glad I didn't end up accidentally pressing the run/walk toggle and taking 10 years to go anywhere like one of my friends
They didn't update every older mission to have the height based quest marker arrow
Only shb stuff and some other stuff has it
what do you mean? i only recently got to shadowbringers, but every single mission i've done had an Y axis indicator
Its true so far i dont see that sort of arrow mentioning up and down yet however that may be because im not paying enough attention
Not everything prior to shb has it
Okay one more question besides 1,000 needles what spells are actually effective in combat. My current opening salvo is tongue whip followed by bad breath followed by 1000 needle everything else doesn't seem all that effective in combat
A lot of older quests haven't updated to reflect that
i've spent last two months doing pre-shb and i'm telling you, when something was sufficiently above/below, the minimap reflected that
Primal spells are good
1000 needles has a terrible cast time
1k needles is only good for a little while
And it will be outscaled by enemy stats
Again not every quest was updated to reflect altitude marking
Older sidequests for example
you can solo ifrit to get its spell, just grab mighty guard + basic instinct first and you can do ifrit synced
Would now be a good time to ask approximately 72.5 questions
I have ifrits
i've done a lot of sidequests, haven't seen one without an altitutde thing if it merited it
Yes ask away @vivid karma
Ok so I just finished the base game story I think
I saw the credits
How do I enter the base game raids?
I’m level 51
Pray return to the waking sands
8man? you will struggle to find a group for them
That’s reassuring
base game 8man raids are noticeably more difficult than normal 8mans in expansions
so not many people bother running them synced
Yeah I’m just so sick of doing the story
Don’t want to wait through like the next 3 expansions first
It gets better trust me
ARR is extremely slow because they have to build the entire world for you
You can try finding groups via discord to do the raids with you
you can go do the 24man raid, it's a quick easy romp
and it's required for MSQ progress anyway
But the duty finder isn't made to queue you for those higher end raids
Crystal tower is also required for shb so yeah
So part of the pre heavens ward story?
Lore is pretty good
there should be an Outlandish Man in Mor Dhona, he starts the 24man raid for ARR
it's not really connected to heavensward, it's more setting up lore for future stuff
but in timeline yes it is pre-hw
But it’s part of the chain you have to do to unlock it
yes
are savages included in mentor roulettes
No
2.1 to 2.3 wrap up the base game, 2.4 to 2.55 are the heavensward lead in
That pattern us followed for the rest of the expansions too
savages of any kind are not, extremes pre-shadowbringers are.
(note that when this game version number says 2.55, it means 2.5.5)
Ok I just did a dungeon with like an underground city and a big demon guy at the end so idk where that is
do the nier raids have a loot cap?
but you do have to clear the hildibrand sidequests, all guildhests, alliance raids, optional trials, and normal raids to unlock mentor roulette. it's a lot.
Oh yeah that’s my other question will the nier raids stop being current content when the dlc drops
yup
yeah, they're lvl 80
but people will still run them through alliance roulette and for glam
Ok so I have like 3 weeks
don't rush it
Not really
play at your own pace
it's 40 days, so more like 6 weeks.
I've read that friends are able to recruit each other before buying a sub, is that really possible? i can't find where to get my recruitment code in the mogstation
People will still do older raids thorough roulettes
Honestly I don’t really care much about the story I just want to do the raids/dungeons
^ just not older savage raids
yes it is, there's a personal code you get that you can have them input.
every month of playtime they subscribe for will give you rare rewards.
how often do you guys interact with other players in game? just wanted to gauge other people's experiences
wait, this isn't a singleplayer game? :O
where can i find it? i've only found the place where i would type my friend's code
we do every instance together 
90% of the time I only talk to other people in my FC or during duties
How do I exchange my yellow scripts to blue scrips at idyllshire
Scrip Exchange -> Others
I dont see other
Lv. 50
should the site look like that? i don't have that recruit a friend button, i'm guessing we had to do it before our free month expired?
if you click that button you should get a page with a code
it's easy to miss because it literally looks like a popup ad
yeah but the site its not showing it to me, i have the full game
wait i have ublock enabled could that be it?
probably tbh
i have ublock origin and i've seen that banner
Ok I have more questions
shouldn't have anything to do with your free month or anything, granted you can't enter someone else's code that late, but you can get yours to share at any time
The GC shop/promoting
it empty
ventures, glamour prisms, some specific crafting mats for later, some meh-class armors
To promote talk to the personnel officer
and a bunch of one-time unlocks like emotes and bardings
Should I try to spend them now so I don’t overflow and waste them
Ok thanks
Also I have almost 800 tomestones of poetics
What should I buy with these
get yourself a 130 weapon
augmented ironworks
blue bag vendors in 3 main cities near main aetherytes
or manually in mor dhona
Ok cool
Guys, which lv 70 dungeons is fast to run for Raw Emotion ?
i've heard someone before recommending hells' lid? not sure

Anybody know of a hat that looks somewhat similar to a detective's hat, like something a typical Sherlock Holmes would wear?
!iglam flat cap
Aha, that looks pretty decent.
theres no way to make money while doing firmanent for crafting right? someone told me you could but im not seeing any way except hte kupo rewards
yeah, scrips and kupo rewards
oh right you get scrips too forgot about that
Do the duty roulettes offer less exp when you get close to level cap? After I hit 75 things like dungeon and trial roulette are only offering about 160K, which given leveling requirements means they're basically useless.
i think so, once you are that high level only the leveling roulette and the msq one are worth doing i think
71+ receive less armoury exp
I forget everyone in teh same world can play with each other regardless of server correct?
Did you get daily bonus?
ah thank you
Not sure what that is.
Roulettes have a daily bonus
The big arrow next to the rewards on the right side when you click
Haven't done any Roulettes yet today
how does rested xp work? like how much gets saved
!faq restedxp
!faq restedexp
'Why does my EXP bar have some blue or faded yellow in it?'
That's Rested Experience, which is an extra source of bonus experience shared between all of your classes. You gradually earn this while inside a sanctuary (town or area with a major aetheryte), regardless of whether you're online or not. Sanctuaries are also indicated with a crescent moon icon near your experience bar.
'How much of a boost is it?'
The most amount of rested experience you can have at once is one and a half levels of experience. That means that lower level jobs use up the rested experience faster than higher level jobs do.
ty
so i dont think i have rested xp but im getting a fat boost in crafting the ishgard restoration items, any clue why?
Filling up the HQ/collectability bar
oh that gives more?
so /e end manually ends an encounter in act, is there a command to clear the ACT overlay? like get rid of all the bars and numbers
/e clear played the same sound as /e end but there wasn't anything that changed visually
is hq gonna be no longer a thing when endwalker hits?
hq mats
ok
although we don't know what is the full rework
thx
thinking whether i should lvl my fisher to 80
i already have btn and min on max lvl
As someone who went from level 5->80 just today
it took me maybe 2-3 hours and cost me probably 50k gil
ocean fishing and leves
sped through it lmao
wow ok
the triple turn in leves are insane for fisher
gonna do it after my cultinary
yea i lvl it to 50 half an hr
just need to spend gil
yea
unlike crafters you can do the same leve over and over
even if you are overleved
it'll still give the original xp
so what I did was find a leve with triple turn ins
do it until I hit another leve with triple that were cheap on mb
its crazy how fast fisher levels
yeah
I feel like miner or any of the crafters took me 100x longer
botanist too
way slower
nice damn
just leves
im real poor
rn
so may as well lvl some crafters gather to make some gil
hey so, I just learned about how Wondrous Tails works with the chances of getting multiple lines
ok
in case I don't get lucky, what are the best ways of quickly getting the MGP for the Mount event?
it was 200k, if I remember correctly
and your challenge log
mhm
Okay in the gold saucer at the main prize counter
there is "Mini cactpot broker"
you can do three plays of it a day
basically free mgp
And fashion report you get certain pieces of gear/dyes
!fr
just for having hempen shepards tunic and leather duckbills
free 60k mgp
you can buy both of those from a npc in ul'dah if you look at that chart
you'll see where he is
and do you have your challenge log unlocked already?
uh, I think I do, I forget
If you do then you'll be able to click challenge log
Also another way to earn mgp is every 20 minutes
there are minigames at the gold saucer
these give you on average 4-6k mgp but they are quick and kinda fun

what does adding a mb item to wishlist do?
soo is it possible to change class for potd?i have a slot with my lvl10 rouge and wanna change it
you need to reset the save
so i will start from floor 1
if you have 51 onward you can start there
ah thats neat ill keep farming floors
yeah you'll just be missing abilities at a certain point
also do we get gear in potd or only exp?
since class change is at lvl 30 and potd is lvl 60
you can get the glowly weapons but im pretty sure thats just for glamour
yeah, you'll need to open silver chest to upgrade your gear
padjali weapon gives decent ilvl I guess, but mainly it's used for glamour
not upgrading gear i mean gear like weapons and armor for outside of potd

Retainers are technically a paid service, you just get 2 for free with a sub.

Tomestones? Mor Dhona and the three main cities
oh so the tooltip was referring to tomestones? bleh.
I assume so? Hmm.
Wait no
sounds like the repeatable quest that gives you Aether Oil, which can also be bought with poetics
The allagan catalysts that Sometimes drop, can u trade those in?
Or are they for crafting
crafting material
Ah yea
where are the fashion NPC and mini cactpot stuff in the Gold Saucer?
Ive never been here before -w-

It Could Happen to You
this quest unlocks the fashion report and takes you to the NPCs for it, marked by the "Quest Ends at" coordinates
okay, should I doo the weekly one too?
Does Rd to 70 buff impact crafting jobs ?
for the cactpot
the major cactpot is pretty decent weekly MGP income, yeah
and very good if you manage to get a number or two to match
Thank you!
Is 51-60 the fastest floors for leveling in POTD?
okay, I did the fashion report and Mini Cactpot, I have 73k now. Anything else I can do?
yes
Work on the challenge log and do GATEs as they pop up every 20 minutes
what are GATEs?
Alright thanks!
Gold saucer version of fates
you can also unlock Lord of Verminion, complete the first tutorial challenge, and then intentionally lose to the computer 5 times for a very easy 30k-ish MGP for that part of the challenge logg
you'll be notified when they pop up by pop-up text and by talking to the gold saucer attendents marked on the map with yellow circles
ah
hey may i ask why do people do bunnys in eureka still? these are people who completed everything in ffxiv. is there something secret?
Can other players see the /random action or is this guy getting mad at me trying to rip me off?
awesome!
Is it worth popping a Squadron Battle Manual for Frontlines?
I don’t think it’d even work
!item squadron battle menu
Yep, mob exp only
Do PVP kills yield any XP, then?
Nope
I’d work on chocobo racing for that helmet
This is not that kind of game
helmet?
PvP award exp upon completion
Ah the car, yeah vermillion challenges are your goto
what are those?
@steel canopy Ive heard them mentioned, but idk what the vermillion is
So on the bottom floor of the gold saucer there’s a game called lord of vermillion. Go to the counter and take up the quest, theyll teach you
More of playing it enough times for the challenge log
ah
Chocobo racing is on the same floor
If I am on free trial (HW) what is the best DoH/DoL gear I can get? I just leveled most of them to level 60

And it's equivalents
Without going crazy doing chocobo racing and triple triad. Heres what I did passively for about 2 months +? Before I got my sabotender.
- Weekly challenge log. Easiest ones and least time investments are
- win 3 minigame and 100mgp from mini games. Go to minion Square, do the logging or mining game.
- verminion. Unlock stage 4 and you kill the gobbue easily. My fastest time was 1min4sec. 5 wins nets you 25k mgp
- enter battle Hall and beat wyra green hands 10 times. Easiest npc
- do GATEs and the triple triad open tourney when you come across them
- weekly fashion report 80pts for 60k. Even if you cant get the 80, participating gives you 10k
Blue scrip gear is sufficient. You can't get the full crafted iron works gear
In idyllshire once you unlock yellow scrips you can use them to buy blue scrips so that you can buy fiend stuff from the splendor vendor nearby
okay
Personally, during free trial, I only had like 1 set of blue scrip gear, every other crafter was just using adept
how hard is the next week's fashion report likely to be?
Oh right i just remembered i need to head to the saucer for the weekly lottery
It depends. Recently it has been pretty easy to get 80pts
okay, phew
Prolly cause of the car mount
If you're not free trial, you could buy stuff off the market board. Although prices for the easy 80 pts are inflated during thr week
Some weeks are just not possible for free trial players for example
You basically two of duckbills, a tunic, or brand new gloves for this week
And those are really cheap from stores/ stupid easy to get
I do the special deliveries to get the yellow scripts right?
yep, already did the one this weke
will there be 1 more report before the event ends?
That and collectible hand ins
On Tuesday iirc
@tawdry venture should be in time
At the collectible appraiser
Event ends on the 18th?
hhh that makes me nervous
I honestly only got the mount cus i had 2 lines in wondrous tails and decided imma use that 130k mgp
Hate gold saucer
;w; my plan was to use the wondrous tails
but
I didnt know about the 9 sticker limit
Oh
I thought I'd get 3 lines guaranteed as long as I kept doing duties
Oh ye don't bank on tails
Even if you know what you're doing
now I know
Rng just shits on you and you end up with no lines xD
Do em anyway but don't pin ur hopes on it
so, how do I do this verminion stuff
Iirc i read somewhere. The overall chance for a 3 line is less than 1%
Minion square
im there, just not sure what to do
Its like playing a dumbed down RTS with your minions
There should be a simple walk through when you get started
it's important for me to know
is there any guide for yellow script farming and collectables?

i think some of the further tutorial stages can be completed faster than the first one
level 78 collectable of whichever crafting class looks the cheapest for you to make
or the highest one you can do that's not 80.
For DoH it's mostly just doing all 12 custom deliveries and then whatever the cheapest lvl 70-76 turn in you like.
DoL you basically go around and spam the collectables in norvrandt
Crafting Collectables is the exact same as going for HQ items, you raise the quality bar as much as possible and, at the absolute minimum, make sure it meets the minimum requirement to be turned in
if it doesn't meet the minimum needed, it's a wasted craft.
If you dont care for the extra scrips, can also do lvl 70 collectables with that skill that maxes quality
Makes the rotation pretty fast
I see, that makes a lot of sense. I just hope I get enough to get some gear for my DoL
It's very easy
Personally I use this rotation for gathering. Have my class change macros use the sensing abilities of the other 2 DoL
This is mostly white scrips but you can just make a list and go with it
Yes automatic
I would recommend xiv clock but some people prefer garlond
I will try both. Tbh I just leveled my DoH and DoL to level 60 just with job quests, GC turn ins and some leves. I had no idea yellow scripts even existed
5.3
a tank just left the dungeon i was in after killing one boss, what's that all about? lvl 73 dungeon
is there somewhere to see if holy rainbow gear hq version drop from leve rewards?
nobody died, everything was fine
maybe he had to go? or internet went out or maybe hes groudned or wanted to play a different game or maybe he queued wrong dungeon
life got in the way ig
google the item name
It's prolly more merciful to just leave than keep ppl stuck in a dungeon while u do rl stuff
i googled it but it doesnt tell me if hq version is in leves
... doing mahjong was a bad idea
one more mahjong victim
yep
oikay
so
im at 100k rn
and if I can safely assume that next week's fashion report is in the bag
I need 40k more
uhh, is there any way to braindead Verminion
Whats the best way to get into Delubrum Reginae? I'm in a queue for it manually right now but its not looking like its going to fillu p any time soon. It also doesn't show up under ShB Raids in duty finder..
only can queue normally
so all you can do is to wait
recommended to do it during peak time
since it need a lot of people
just make sure you have your offensive essence ready
You only should beat the tutorial
Then on the second level spawn your minions then just walk away from your computer
o
Let the otherside win
thats better?
Easy way to finish your challenge log
ohhh
in order to get trust into the next leveling dungeons, i need to do the dungeon with them 3 times? like 3 holminster switches
what do I do after I finish my challenge logs?
how long does that take?
i usually just win that stage in about 1 minute
for golden saucer?
yeah
wait for gates i guess
Not too long tbh but winning is shorter
the guy who does fashion report does it every thursday
event ends on trhe 15th so
on the 14th make sure to do it

But I dont waste my low amount of brain power unless absolutely necessary
So i just let the ai win
I already did the fashion rport
it changes weekly
so you can squeeze 1 more out
ahh
I'm reading this thing
I think in practice, Collective Unconscious always last at least 3 seconds, to a maximum of 6 seconds if you flash it while moving?
Yeah I think the temporary buff for CU cannot last less then 3 seconds?
It’s one level per dungeon now.
ok thats sounds significantly less painful
i figure i wont be able to do endwalker trust if i dont have to level to 80
since level 80 dungeons arent eligible for access
where can i get better gear?
when gunbreaker uses their death save, do they set their max hp at 1 too? or can they be healed up?
They’ll probably boost them.
It sets current hp to 1.
cool
are the challenge logs weekly or daily?
Weekly.
weekly
fug
I mean i probably havee ennough with the fashion report
but doing that makes me so skittishhh
waiting till the last moment
how does aoe skills work cuz i find my fire 2 is super bad at damage
Hey, anyone here has a EU region account but is living outside of EU at the moment able to purchase/pre-order endwalker? Anyone can tell me how to bypass the restriction on SQEX EU store? Back in the release of shadowbringers i was able to put in fake address and bill my card just fine. Currently it just don't accept my card anymore.
fire 2 is unfortunately just a pretty mediocre spell
that's just black mage. their whole kit is pretty funky
it's still worth it at lower level
!faq blmleveling
in general though, AoE is basically as you'd expect--for fire 2 the tooltip is "deals fire damage with a potency of 80 to target and all enemies near it", and it does exactly that--the 80 potency doesn't get divided by the enemies it hits or anything like that. It does get the damage bonus from astral fire stacks though, but it's still a lot of MP with a longer cast time with relatively low potency, which just generally feels pretty lukewarm to use
Question about mnk six sided star
Balance suggests we use it when we need to disengage. Is the reason because it breaks combos?
Because its not part of the rotation
I don't have a ton of MGP for the FF15 items. Once I finish the FF15 event, can I buy the FF15 items anytime I want outside the event?
Aw sheet. So I need to do the quest and grind MGP before the event ends?!
Yep
... And what would be the recommended ezpz ways to grind up MGP?
It puts your gcds on a long cooldown.
they never nerf the preorder items after the fact, right? i can safely turn in all my other combat job earrings?
So it’s only worth using if you have to disengage from the boss for that long
!faq mgpguide
Nope they don’t.
But the preorder earring is inferior to other level 80 earrings
Ahhhh that explains it. Thanks lyon
hmm, are the memories of the dying tied to the class you picked the quest up on?
Cause I am trying to change my mind on which weapon to work on next but it's not recognizing the memories in my bag
I believe thats part of the shb relic right? You have to have the relic in your armory chest to complete the steps for some reason
whats after the book part for atma relic. Isn't it alexandrites?
It cant be equipped otherwise the game wont let you progress, so just equip some random other weapon
is there anything in game item or armor that increases hq drops from mobs
nope
can you not get hq wyvern skin drops atm? been farming for 10-15 mins and gotten like 30+ regular version but 0 hq
it's random
oh just got one finally lmao
Yeah, have to unequip, that is such a silly silly silly engine mechanic haha

In Eureka, does socketed materia affect my stats, in particular in Eurekan gear: https://rhap.city/i/8nXL9.png
yes, said materia will work in eureka
just for that piece tho
I'm assuming materia not in eurekan gear won't work since it's scaled?
gotcha
it's the same with TEA and other forced sync content
For anima weapons, is it worth completing the zeta weapons to skip the initial step?
How much time will I be saving by doing so.
what's the walk toggle for controller?
oh god no
zeta weapons can take 40+ hours
the first step for the anima takes 2 hours tops for the fates
do leves reset on there own? like if i have 3 options but i dont like the rewards if i leave the area and comeback will they change?
If u do one of them it will change
Idk if theres any daily reset tho
do i have to complete it or can i take one and abandon?
out of the easy to obtain chocobo snacks, it's probably the best to make him have the favorite food be +healing, right?
of course ideally you would want +EXP, but it's crossbreeding and therefore absurd prices

Have to complete it unfortunately
I mean if u are overleveled its just took a few min
So... what's the best lvl 50 gathering gear i can get my hands on?
the best lvl 50 gathering would be a major pain in the butt to craft
if you can get to level 52, there are craftable pieces that are crafted from starting HW mats
can you no longer make skybuilder's charcoal ?
yes, 2.78% is a pretty high chance
Thanks
i think it's the best chance you can ever get with 7 marks
Oh?
you're exactly 2 marks away from 3 lines, and since the chance of it appearing in any location is the same, that's the best you're going to get
And immediately failed 😦
welcome to the lottery
what happens if you dont cancel your subscription but remove your payment method
to where it says "no payment method registered"
i somehow turned on somesort of cinematic mode on PS4 and now i can't access anything how do i turn it off?
Does the last stage of your shadow bringer relic wep stay glowing?
I'll just close app
Even if I have it station on my back and sword to the side
Thought I seen it before nvm then 😅
nvm figured it out
i feel like crafting lvl 40 skybuilder stuff for scrip is wasting my time

L1+track pad click
where do you turn in bozjan coins, none of the npcs seem to take them
can you buy lockboxes with it
no
oh I thought you could because this
the npc is empty for me so idk
oh you exchange field notes for coins
not the other way around
you exchange fieldnotes for lockboxes as well
If you're grinding for the gear I guess it's a few extra, too few to make much of a difference tho
I dont think I will ever get the bozja gear
I might grab some just because of the haste, since I'm planning to lvl quite a lot of classes
they dont look very good so I have no reason to get them
how far do you have to progress in your resistance weapon for zadnor
that says that
I saw newegg has a digital code for endwalker on sale with a coupon code, does anyone know if that ships the code now so I can register the game? or will they send it later?
Which professions is the best to begin with?

any that appeals to you, really
Really? :0
yes
I did do relic wep so don't know but seems weird if it required relic weapon
If i want to make some gil should i go for carpenter?
they can all solo instances pretty well
like that? :0
yeye crafters and gathering
crafters are sort of an all or nothing deal
Plus u save gear
And best to have gatherers a few lvls above crafters
(can skip fsh)
really? :0
It's for culinarian only
fisher is fuuuuun
level fisher for when you want to chill ingame
its a very chill job
unless you want to get all the fishes
Some sell for weirdly high too
i see :c
For gc turn in and job quests I suppose
as a newbie and at level 14, is it recommended i start picking up those armorer, culinarian, etc kind of quests?
ty ❤️ i'm going to do that
It's purely optional content
Is there anything I must buy in Bozjan with clusters other than mount speed?
I need some input, should I not bother with lvl 20-60 ishgard scrip crafting?
Most wait until you get ishgard restoration to pick them up for easy lvling
i reccommend trying those at maybe lvl 50-80 bc its easier to travel and get materials
but its up to you
ok thanks
Either do firmament or leves to lvl, up to you which
everything else is optional tbh
they're just extra stuff like mounts and minions and carsd
so after the speed mount I can just buy the 180 cluster mount?
yeah go ahead
fuck yeah
I have some leftover material from completing my crafting log, but the scrip gain from lvl 20-60 collectable is really small
So I wonder if I'm wasting my time with them
Too bad I'm on free trail
twas bout to say that opportunity cost is a lesson well learnt this day but.. riiiip
Welp time to get rid of all those material and fill my bag with bait cause its time tocomplete my fishing log
if you have 900 hours
Do ppl really do legendary fishing with versitilw bait?
Btw does those bait use in ARR still uses in later expansion ?
how do i hide something with a spoiler tag?
||text||
Yep
But will be the whole message too
Can do just ||a few words|| with the symbols
do the symbols need to be without spaces?
Yea without space
ah i see, it changes before you even send it
Do a test one before writing a spoiler if you want to be sure
👏

Question about relic weapons, if I go ahead and upgrade the weapons to final stages can I Purchase replicas of previous stages ?
yes
Oh good, thank you
what are these quests about ? unlocking raids ?
raids and trials, yeah
does those fishing bait use in ARR still uses in later expansion ?
why does ShB have a second part of post ShB quests while previous expansions don't ?
can you be more specific?
You refereing 5,3?
5.3 and onwards to setup EW
jesus
why is the grade 4 skybuilder leather sack have so much quality point
why grade 4 skybuilder leather sack have 15k quality point ?
do i need better crafting gear ?
but i already have the lvl 60 crafting scrip gear on
it will likely be merged so it fits with the structure of the other expansions when EW is here
Normally I would say EW will follow the same structure, a category for base EW, a category for up to 6.3 where it wraps up the 6.0 story and another category for up to 6.5 where they set up the next expansion
But they already said that 6.0 will wrap up all of the EW storyline.
So who knows
you mean EW will be the last expansion ?
No
6.1+ is a new story ark
EW will wrap up the story arc that was started in ARR
