Blue mage dun or blue mage coils
Anyhow, you need at least one bulky enemies with two dots
Which dungeon would be the best?
For other enemies, one dot will do just fine
Whichever pops fastest for you
Hmm i see
Assuming your tanking is pulling two groups
For best results, queue for all 5
Coordinated groups will probably do Baelsar’s Wall with all blue Mages.
That usually means 6-8 enemies
If you want the lazy play route, just spam Castrum Meridanum and Praetorium
About how many min is Baelsar's wall because I have strong BLU. Amaurot takes 25+ min with inexperienced players, so I don't want to go there
And there's no stopping you from applying new dots on one or two enemy in the middle of it
Blue destroys dungeons in like 7mins
If they are that bulky, or a new group of enemies jump on your party
BLU has lots of tools to instakill most trash packs
Baelsar has a lot of adds, but you’re a BLU so...
yeah that's true. ty for help!
That's hard
Ala mhigo would be faster than bael no? Cause of the trash after first boss
No it’s not. >.>
I'm sick of watching cid movies now
Those two duties are easy as hell if you don’t want to min-max
That’s the price you pay
Yeah, but I frequently see wipes in Ala mhigo 3rd boss where you have to spread out
pick your poison ¯_(ツ)_/¯
People wipe in dungeons lol wut
3 praetorium or completing 1 beast quest. I wonder which one is better
Huh?
I’d say a bit longer on bosses since you don’t have more DPS tools than expected.
Oh right the soul thing would slow things down abit
I encountered Ala mhigo multiple times in mentor roulette, but we always die in 3rd boss, because people tend to cluster
But eh ala mhigo has a mount
Then stop stacking as 4 lol
Even being hit by 2 doesn't kill
That’s why you’d run the dungeons as a pre-made :p
People will probably want to spam Amaurot or the other ones in PF
Not necessary. People are pretty under geared in these dungeons
Even with just the job gear it doesn't really kill with 2
Hi, I was wondering how to manage my mp as a level 33 WHM? I see a lot of people saying to stop using Cure I and go for Cure II as soon as I get it, but Cure II is draining my mp. I'm also trying to contribute to dps. I don't have any oGCD heals yet. So do I just sit back to regen instead of trying to do my "ABCs"? I'm still running out even with Lucid Dreaming
Stop overhealing
Regen
Are you using Lucid when it’s available, or only when you hit very low MP?
I honestly can't imagine your MP becoming 0 with using Cure II instead of Cure I
I'm using it when 50% and below
Aim for higher
Oh wait regen is lvl 35 ain’t it
You generally don’t want to sit on your MP recovery skills
Alright
I use my first one around 70% and then the rest generally on cooldown
Only cure 2 like around half or so
Depending on damage intake
And let regen do it's thing
Also, you'll remember a lot of new abilities as you level up, so you rarely have to use cure1 or cure2 at around Lv60
I don't have regen yet, but I'll keep that in mind
That’s not helpful for them in the present.
Always have regen on tanks after you remember it. Tanks will seldom die with regens on them
Regen is lvl 35, so you’re basically there
Do you mean what items are good to get with yellow scripts?
yeah, since you can cap rather easily
bought the raincoat for my chocobo to clear space
Does anyone have a recommendation for what DoH white script items to buy?
I've been capped for a while
Have you finished collecting all Tome of Botanical Folklore, etc?
Those should be the No.1 priority, and need lots of yellow scripts.
Afterwards, get around 200 of Hi-Cordials.
level 80 with 400k whats the ideal way to make gil?
Baking cookies
i have no crafter/gather leveled
Then roulettes I suppose. It's not a bad idea to level up crafters btw
If anyone can carry me through final coils turn 2, gimme a shout!! need the dreadwyrm mail of maiming
@leaden ginkgo was looking to be a omni crafter how much gil would i need?
0 if you level gathering together with all crafters
wait really
You only spend gil I'd you're lazy
depends on how patient you are with gathering materials yourself haha
0 if you collect everything, but maybe 400-600k/job if you purchase everything. I'm just guessing.
culinarian was really cheap up to 50
before i do all of them together should i see which one complaints each other?

They all do
oh
All of them but Cul
To an extent
Cul does use all 3 of the gatherers though
Cul mostly use the gatherers
Basically doing everything simultaneously would be better, because all jobs can share gears
but it will take some time
My biggest investment was when I was getting enough white scrips with my first 80 job to get a full set of 500 gear haha
question about eureka, i want armor to glamour on my drk but wanna go into eureka as machinist, will i still be able to get armor and stuff for other jobs?
Yes
and even then, apparently scrip gear is catch up compared to crafted and melded gear
whats the estimate time it would take me to max it out
I would suggest that you at first try levelling up crafters by gathering items and creating them from scratch instead of purchasing them. If you find it to be boring, you are not a good fit in gathers/crafters.
At least 10-20 hours/job
Do people download the companion app just for the emote and then uninstall it?
I enjoyed gathering items and killing mobs to get items to create things that are required for quests and levelling purposes. If you don't enjoy doing those things, don't do crafters. It's a waste of time
It gets you a free tp location too so it's worth keeping
So all of the pre-order earrings are the same bonus, but the later ones will work until higher levels, right?
Tp location? As in you can teleport your character via app?
Do I still get poetics if I do things unsynced
Let's you set an in game location as free (no gil cost) to teleport to
So set something like crystarium or kugane as favorite place so it’s free because it cost 999 Gil to teleport?
Yes, I have eulmore set for example
Trying to learn Astrologian and wondering if Undraw is worth keeping in hotbar?
No
undraw is absolutely useless
Redraw is fine tonkeep though
you can take it off your bar
hey guys, super dumb question inc: how do i actually start a trial when i made a party via party finder? first time using it and ive heard u can solo lowlvl content stuff while unsynched. i think i set everything up correctly but idk how i actually start the encounter
You can just minor arcana cards you don't need
I'm trying to decide if I can still have fun in ff14 or not. I've played before through most of the paladin and dragoon stories on seperate characters. ( i know you can do every class on one character )
I guess I'm trying to findout as a returning player who doesnt care a lot about like, the " clothing end game" is there a reason to play the game again / do you think I would still enjoy playing. My thought are either play a new class so im playing a completely new story, so new stuff. or play through the classes I enjoyed and then afterward play the expansions that I ahven't played yet.
I'm trying to talk myself into playing as I dont have a game to play when I dont wanna play a competitive game.
Que into the duty
With duty finder
If it's not a fully group, turn on undersized party
What other types of games do you enjoy? Do you generally enjoy single player rpg stories?
Ive played through like GW2 and loved the game play hated the story. Played swtor loved the story but the gameplay was stale. I didnt enjoy WoW, I play games like skyrim and dragon age inquisition. Path of exile thje story was boring and couldnt hold my interest. Ive beaten diablo 3 several times, I like old games like baldurs gate. idk just random games lol
Hmm, sounds like you'd probably enjoy the ff14 story, but tab target combat may bore you a bit?
the thing i liked best last time i played was the ff14 world feels alive compared to other mmos, like, realistic. but like i said i did 1-60 ish on 2 classes, so im not sure whether iu should replay them and go to expansions or i should try a new classes story
im okay with tab target it doesnt really bother me
They're all in coerthas
As blue quests
Check your journal to see if you picked them up already
They're blue quests that open as you progress the story through the zone
Cough cough do msq
when i try that i get "Unable to execute command while using the Party Finder."
Close your party finder recruitment
Yes do that
i feel so dumb lmao
Close the party finder recruitment listing
oh
play the story, you'd probably enjoy it, only make a new character if you reallllllly want to do the 1-60 MSQ again otherwise just level an alt job on the same character
its going to be a new character no matter what as its a new account, i mean more the same class or a new class
did, still the same window
If you closed it proper it wouldn't show
is there a more propper closing than pressing the "X" ?
If I pre-order the digital collector edition, is it expected behavior that I show the early access tick in the Mogstation, but not the collector edition tick?
aaah i see
Yes
Cause the collectors code isn't out yet
It doesn't exist
👍
up to you, most jobs don't come in to their own until after 60 usually
one last question sorry for bothering you. is pugilist/monk going to make me want to quit the game before I hit 60, as a lot of googling says that leveling it up is "unfun" but the idea of a fighter class sounds fun.
Monk is basically complete at 50
Depending on what you read, it might’ve been written before their rework in patch 5.4
honestly monk is probably the most fun to level
Your gcd rotation is completed at 50
because it feels like actual progression
well I'll give it a shot then,
Monk gets their 3 button combo really fast
so it gets into it's current positional gameplay fast
and its usually best to level a main class up to get an exp bonus on alt classes right?
If you wanna, up to you
Im just asking questions while the game downloads
is allegory or revelation the current tomestones?
so revelations give best gear?
Yes
will poetics be gone once endwalker is out?
No
like "discontinued"
Revelation and allegory will go into poetics
Allegory at a 4:1 ratio and Revelation at a 2:1 ratio
Poetics is the "old expansions" tome
wait so revelation and allegory will go away?
so would the stuff currently being sold in exchange for revelationa/allegory just chane to poetics?
Yes
Prices wont match the exchange rate
So revelation tome gear won't go down by 50%
So it's more efficient to buy using revelation tomes
so if something right now costs 400 revelation
itl cost 1600 poetics when new expansion is out?
No
i mean 800
Accessories are like 290 or something
not 1600
so it will be cheaper later?
No
since youre getting 2:1 on revelations
so if something is 100 revelations now and you end up with 200 poetics but it wont cost 200 poetics
youre getting more poetics out of it
that's not how the exchange works
Any playstation players around?
You get 50 poetics
oh
So I just got WHM 80 in the middle of a dungeon and I couldn't read through what it told me I gained through level 80. was it the Temperance skill only, or was there something in addition to that? I can't find anything
Yes
temperance is what you get a 80 ye
so nothing passive in addition to that, got it
You can check passives by traits if any get added
when the expansion converts tomestones, are you able to go over cap, or is it highly recommended to spend poetics first?
can't ever go over cap
You can't pass the cap
How do people with a controller deal with classes that have alot of skills?
Ever
You have 48 slots
Like im a dragoon, they dont all fit
Without hotbar swapping
so if you're close to cap, you should spend poetics before converting
You have 0 issue
Use the expanded and wxhb hotbars
Double tap/hold both triggers
That's 48 slots right there
Ontop of the initial 16
I need to check this out
is the cryptlurker gear the easiest high level gear to obtain right now or is there something higher thats fairly easy to obtain? (like no random weapon coffers)
It's time locked due to the tome cap
Eden and nier are the easiest non capped gear to get from fresh 80
@faint flare nothing happens when i hold down both triggers
are eden and nier both raids or dungeons?
I actually played with a controller last time I played. Should i try to play with mouse and keyboard or use a controller like I did last time
if you've got gil can also buy exarchic
are they the ones you need to pre-party before doing or will party finder work for em
Use whatever you're comfortable with
you can use duty finder for eden normal and nier
if you do eden savage you will want to do party finder
@faint flare thanks, it works now, i have an extra 8 slots on the hotkey bar now
Turn on using dpad as well if yoy havent
You have 48 slots in total
Which is way more than any job needs
What was that comprehensive (?) ff14 discord server again?
Comprehensive? If you’re looking for job and fight guides then presumably you’re talking about the Balance
!faq balance
Ah yes that one, thanks!
gearing question...so I bought a full Exarchic set for healers (my main), but I'm starting to rack up Revelations/Allegory... do I start buying healer cryptlurker & convert my exarchic to another class's armor?
If I abandon the shb relic final step, does it remove the raw memories from my inventory?
No
For your main, yes, buy the 520 tome gear
Iirc some of the augmented exarchic gear is bis for healers
I'll double check my healer's bis
there's nothing else to do with Allegory tokens aside from exarchic upgrade is there?
when does the revelation allgans reset? is it same time as custom delieries
Weekly reset as usual
is there a way to get the previous versions of the resistance relic weapons for glamour?
!weekly
Regana sells replicas
Replicas
ah ok thanks
It's rng
When you open silver chests
You're meant to run it multiple times and pick up gear as you go
Don’t solo unless you’re maxed out, you’re gonna die
is there no marketboard in eulmore?
no
no
Will you accumulate rested exp if you're on a max level job?
Yes
Yo how long is it till endwalker? I know we got a command for it but I can't remember it
!expansion
after hitting rank 25 in bozja/zadnor, how do I start getting those persistent buffs?
@main yoke there will be an npc for you to turn in your mettle
20mil mettle = 3 proofs of mettle
You exchange those proofs for valors
Hp, atk, healing
you unlock it after completing dalradia for the first time
The cost of the valor increases as you level them
there will be a quest for it
Oh yeah forgot about the quest
Thanks doug
If my quick math is right, it takes about 30 proofs to fully max out a particular valor
Thats 200mil mettle
cool title doe
Nope
If I had started bozja earlier I'll probably go for it
weeklies give a bunch
TIL, even skirmishes scale to the number of people in an instance
I was left in a dead instance with like 10 people
The skirmishes became so easy 🤣
They also scale based on how many people are nearby it too
Really good to knoe
That's why people will relocate after one to a central area and then run to the next, not just for convenience
when is next producer letter live
I always reinstance when there's a dead one
Guess I'm gonna be staying from now
Me and 1 other just blew through the skirmishes
Most of your reinstancing will put you in the same lobby usually
Just use /sea to see how many people are there
I do
Sorry I meant locked ones
I had a party of 5, we all decided to stay in the locked instance since we were chatting
At the end it was 2 of us
lol i think its time to move back to #beginner-lounge
Right 🥶
is there a big difference between exarchic and crypt gear?
nov 5
okay
exarchic is 510 that can be augmented into 520
cryptlurker is 520 which can be augmented into 530
exarchic can be pricey so its easier to mix and match some pieces
biggest difference would be ilvl i suppose 
Cryptlurker is definitely going to be better, but if you're not parsing or anything, it doesn't really matter
does the 10 level item diff do much if i only really do msq and daily roulette
right now im using like level 450 gear so i just wanna upgrade and not sure if waiting weeks to get the tomes would be worth
But as you get your revelations, no harm getting the upgrade
If you wanna get into the rest of the content
Just get a set if exarchic
I personally think its worth it
Otherwise you're gonna be ilvl blocked
yeah doing your expert and 80 roulette will give you a bunch of revs
so might as well get some pieces while you're at it
Not spending time grinding for dungeon gear progressively was a huge time saving for me
doing the nier alliance raid will give you tokens to upgrade your crypt to 530
^
You'd need like ilvl 430 minimally iirc for the first dungeon in post shb
It increases as you go
Copied factory is 480?
and then you do savage and fall into gearing hell
you can only use revelations on gear right? no mats
435 actually

I've heard all BLU baelsar's wall. I'm gonna see how amaurot turns out. Also just do msq roulette once a day anyway
Ah thanks for the correction
You need more than one raid available
hey im new here. question, where can i go channel wise here to ask if someone has an item im lookng for?>
So have you done more than one Alexander raid?
do you need to beat shadowbringers to get the last of the master recipes (7 and 8)?
nowhere, but we can tell you where to get it
well im looking to get the cactuar earrings but they look tricky haha xD
no
There you go
ty
idk if anyone has them and is willing to trade or sell em
I’m not sure if the Itinerant moogle is still around but if so, look for them near the Limsa aetheryte
;-; damn
If they’re not around, then you can’t get them currently
Shame
Is it normal, as DRK that when I cast Blood Weapon and instantly use Hard Slash I do not gain any Blood Gauge? is it due to lag? because I have to wait for like 1 extra sec that kinda break the 5 gcds inside it
That's a bit strange... because I was doing same way 1month ago and it wasn't any problem but now xd
Alright, thanks ^^
Ping relevant
better not talk abt it xd
Yeah that's getting into sketchy territory with weaving
I am not even double weaving xd
It like I can just cast and spam hardslash, the damage goes but not gain any blood gauge
Yeah sounds like a ping issue
Press blood weapon about 2/3rds through the gcd cooldown period
do i have to turn in an un-binded exarchic for certificates or can i turn in ones i have used/equipped?
one question, is there any lfg places? or is it just PF and hope for the best.
You can turn on equipped ones
Just don't be dumb and turn it all in at once and be naked
there are a few places you can use to look for statics, like the recruitment channels here
but one-offs are generally reserved for PF
Oks, thanks :D
Is there a way to rewatch cutscenes and experience old battles from quests outside the main story?
you can redo those instances with new game +
If it's part of story or a raid/job quest/Hildibrand chain
For cutscenes you can use The Unending Journey book in any inn room, this works for all cutscenes in the game
But for story instances you'd have to do ng+ yeah
But you can't pick specific quests or encounters in ng+, it splits the story into chunks
So depending on what you wanted to replay, you'd have some work cut out for you

can I complete the rest of the shb role quests after I finish 5.0?
yeah
1 tank, 1 healer, 1 physical dps and 1 magical dps
and then there's a quest finisher by the barmaid
You can do them whenever
sounds good thank you, yeah I have one completed but I kinda wanna finish MSQ asap and get to the other ones eventually
perfect

what are gcds and off gcds
is there a big difference in their roles?
It's a GCD affects most of your skills, and u can only cast them 1 at a time
OGCD has its own cooldown, and can be used inbetween GCDs (also called weaving)
It gives you something to do while waiting for the gcd to come back
oh, so like THM's scathe is an off gcd, but fire or thunder is a gcd?
No
oof
Transpose for Thaumaturge is a off global
Generally to optimize your rotation, you'll want to usually keep your GCDs on cooldown while weaving your OCDs inbetween them without disturbing your cooldowns or rotations
For example
Yes
Yes
Every job has a number of each
if you mean the shb one, Alexander 2 and 4, Omega 1 and 3, Eden 1 and 3

I can't even remember what alex 4 was
was it the shitty fight
Manipulator
I remember one of the alex being a real shitty fight
Leg boy
Oh the shitty fight
Alright thanks
I guess I gotta do it 30 times like the good ol' days
if you havent reached rank 25 in zadnor I'd recommend to do them there instead
You can still do it on Zadnor
And farm mettle for honours
For when you go back into delubrum
plus boxes
Hmmm but I was told zadnor is slower
No
z3 is far faster
For the skirmish items it's faster
for z1 and 2, 100% do raids
For all 3 zones
Because z1 and z2 are fucking dead
Do skirmishes
Ah ok
You can easily solo with essences and actions
zone 3 is fairly populated even in the Japanese servers
Zone 3 is what most people do cause most mettle
Is there a guide on how to setup the essences and actions
I've been using garbage like lost protect
Lol
If not: it's shit
I guess I can do that
Thanks
2 more DR runs for my lost relics
Then I can go for the real grind
Beast is a OK ish alternative for solo DPS sustain
But use Assassination with it for permanent Font of Power uptime
I said I'd youre solo, aka without healer
Else just Skirmisher
Or Ordained I guess if you're a caster..That's okish
I went in with gnb and it was pretty boring
Warrior is broken as fuck

Damn im a warrior level 58 lol
want to make sure I read it right, you have to find all the aether currents in that area to fly?
And Banners line up very well with inner release
yes
And warrior can abuse Blood rage to go infinite
yeh, just put the compass on your hotbar and spam them while questing
For permanent 23s inner release Cooldown
At least until you run out of blood rages anyway
and do all blue quest and MSQ, you'll fly in no time
Plus you're literally immortal as a warrior with bloodsucker on

I'm guessing Bard is not a good starting Job for PvP?
Oh really?
It's all equalised
I thought you'd level up and get more abilities in PvP
You get all your tools in the PvP hotbars
You can nose through here for some pvp resources
Q: I completed a Beast Tribe quest and it is giving me a warning that I won't receive Rep when I turn it in. I haven't hit my limit or anything, this is the first I have done in awhile.
It means you won't receive all of it cause some of the reputation will put you at cap while the rest is lost
I havent done any beast tribes in weeks,...how can one quest put me over? lol
oh,..maybe I am at a level up point?
ok,..I'll just do it,.see what happens.
ah I see,..thanks,...it reads 150/150 neutral,...but wont doing more make me friend? or something?
You're at the reputation cap
you need to do a quest to increase your cap

Found it, thanks for the help
If an item is found on the na store, is it safe to assume it'll never appear in a repeat event again?
generally the assumption yeah
Yep
Ah dammit...
Collab quest items that aren’t there, maybe probably will come back eventually
If I've lost any of my "Brand New" gear, where will it be?
Just redo the hall of novice training
I really like fast paced jobs and black mage seems fun with all the explosions n stuff. Also wizards are cool, is trying it a good idea
RIP shantotto colalb
If you want to then sure
If you don’t like it, just use a different job
Need to level it at some point if you want it
@boreal storm Thanks!
Black mage might be the opposite of 'fast paced' though depending on how you define it.
BLMs are the definition of a fixed artillery. They try not to move at all as they bombard their enemies. Easy to learn, hard to master
At later levels, you even start learning how to take advantage of our small hitbox to even stand on the edge of enemy AoEs to continue blasting spells unabated
If you want a more mobile mage however, you can consider the Red Mage.
Might not be as explosive as the BLM, but certainly more mobile with additional utility such as a heal and a raise (tho they're preferably better off not used if u can help it)
should i exchange poetics (maxed out just now), allegory, and relevation for anything before EW starts or save them?
If you're content with your current gear (exarchic, augmented crypt?) then save if you want
okay, thank you!!
yeah I heard BLM has a lot of wholes until 80

BLM is pretty solid once you get into the 60’s
Triplecast and Between the Lines add a lot of mobility
Does gear matter in PvP?
No

Based on the dungeons that will give out Irregular Tomestones for the upcoming event; what's the most efficient way to farm them? I'm guessing Praetoreum, but it has all those cutscenes
BLU runs
Level 60/70 dungeons with blue mages
Or PVP
Castrum/Praetorium are you best choices for minimal effort needed
Wasnt the dark trial in shadowbringers a good way to get tomestones?
Not chosen this time around
The eligible duties change every time besides basically PVP and Castrum/Praetorium
And crystal tower
Gotta let trial players have a shot at getting tomestones, ya know
That's basically always there
All relic weapon from past expansion are still available to be farmed?
Probably Red Mage for the damage+self sustain
So people probably have it already
Yes
first relic weapon is from a realm reborn ?
Yes
oh god ok
Just know that jobs don’t get relics for expansions before them
Each expansion gets a relic
So all the expansion jobs don’t have ARR relics
Yep
when do SCH use Energy Drain? I feel like it's in a weird spot, if you're doing hard content, you kinda want to spend aether resource on actual healing, if you're doing easy content, you don't really need the extra MP... what is it for?
Only current relics matter for stats
The others are glam
To spend extra aetherflow on damage before it’s up again
To avoid waste
so easy content then
do you guys could suggest me a website, to see what i can collect easily, i like to do collection mount / title etc
lol
another noob heal question- why are damaging spells so expensive to cast? even the basic damage ability is 400 MP, when the same basic ability for SMN is 200 MP (which lets it stay mana-neutral while spamming it)
SMN is a dps, so more attacks
sure but you would think they'd encourage heals to do damage by making their DPS abilities cost less
extreme example, but the spammable damage abilities for healers in wow cost no mana at all
This isn’t WoW tho
T2 coil + missiles I guess?
that's why it's an extreme example
If you need to heal, you heal. If you don’t, you attack.
healers have zero-MP ogcd, so most of the time they use MP to DPS or rez
@obsidian patio @plain python Thank you both.
Based on what I have unlocked, I think spamming Praetorium and Consotrium are my best bets.
Idk about other classes, but for WHM, we rarely ever run out of MP. We have a 1min cd 30s duration MP regen action, as well as an action that allows us to cast spells without using MP for a duration.
Unless i'm spamming high cost actions like Medica, WHM shouldn't have to worry so much about our MP
I recommend go into them as MSQ for extra tome. Also Crystal tower raid series is easy to do.
granted i haven't actually did any healing here, just trying to understand the kit first
Boi
How quickly do you have to send a report on a player when playing with them? Just had a pretty bad Delubrum Reginae run where the tank in our party aggro'd every fight immediately
SCH and AST have extra MP recovery from their kits outside general Lucid Dream. WHM will have Thin Air for zero-MP cost and Assize for extra MP recovery
just kick them
they rarely run out of MP if the group dont take unnecessary damage
WHMs generally balance keeping our tanks alive (and DPSers as well i suppose... whatever) with our heals, stuns (Holy), and squeeze in our stone/aero/glare if we have some leeway
As soon as our MP reaches near the halfway point, we use Lucid Dreaming to start recovering MP over time. We will get more MP than we use provided we're not spamming high cost spells (i.e. 1000 MP Medica)
Don’t stand in bad and all that jazz
I didn't realize that was an option, but I'll keep that in mind for next time
especially for WHM. In a content where a DPS boost buff takes 5,000 MP, they do it just fine thanks to Thin Air that makes it cost zero.
Worse is that I guess they had a lost essence/ability to remove doom so they never really died
WHMs also has Thin Air which reduces cost of our spells to 0 for 12s. I typically forget to use it though, as i rarely run out of MP
I think Medkit works too?
I guess it was through a bard then
Our party had no healer and only one red mage for rezzing
It was bad
tank takes Reraise is also a solution, lol
But it would show the animation of them dying right
I don't remember seeing it with that tank
The few times i do run out of MP is due to the entire party taking so much unnecessary damage. But after a few wipes they usually understand the trial and our workload is reduced
What’s a really good DPS class
They are all good
good is subjective
It depends on what you want to experience
Do you like to go fast and furious
Or make big numbers on the screen
I got dancer to 72 but at the same time I wanna stop because it got kinda boring. I mainly just want a fun class
Melee dps
fun is subjective as well
fun is also subjective
Melee dps has more things to juggle and keep track of
So maybe that will offer a different experience than dancer

BLU is best dps because it isn’t one
BLU is best dps because it's also a tank and a healer
"Reality can be whatever I want." - Thanos some random Blue Mage
I actually seen someone playing blue mage when I was doing rathlos farm for the whistle and it was a lot of damage tbh

It’s too busted to have rights
When running DR as a healer, what is a good second skill to run with seraph strike?

Especially on whm
Font of Magic if you want higher damage number
But bring like a fuck ton of ether kitd
And Inject them into your veins
is weather cycle fixed in this game? ignoring stuff like FATE specific weather?
Newer player Q.. I have all of the "immediately available" DoW/DoM jobs to 30+, main is in the 40s. Do I have a use for lower level gear (besides the retainer)? I'm reading when I unlock like DRK it starts around 30 anyways(?)
ok so there's no sudden job I get that starts at like 1
only base game classes start at 1
expansion jobs start at 30, 50, 60 and in a month, 70
ok cool
Can you replay the SHB dungeons via Trust after the initial clear?
OK, thank you
are you referring to cruise chaser? it's from mogstation https://ffxivcollect.com/mounts/247
Does anyone know of or have a list of all crafting materials broken down by tier? Especially if it's for below 50 crafting. Im trying to figure out my mats storage situation and what i can keep or get rid of and theres no in game indication of the tiers of crafting mats
right click it - search by recipes using this
tf
will give you a good indication what levels it is used for
That's kind hard to say because some higher lvl recipes also use lower level items
its 100% drop mount btw?
From A12S?
Iirc yes but you also need to fight like 7 other people for it
sorry if asking a stupid question but when exactly is the nda for media tour?
yikes
in like 7 hours
ok ty
What are sprites in eureaka?

Clan hunts reset everyday?
Only the daily
While waiting for duties to actually trigger (queue times this early suck), can I do something for EXP? Maybe FATE's?
so sprites in eureka only spawns when the weather matches? like ashkin for night?
Yesh fates good
if I do New Game+ for ARR, will I get only MSQ, or also all the sidequests unlocked during 2.0 ?
Yep
for the Irresistable relic quest, we need to be synched if we choose to do the level 70 dungeons right?
Is there a list of FATEs to know where each level is? Like if I'm 38 or 50 or 61 etc.
Only the story
Yes
):
If I wanna read again all sidequest from 2.0, is the only way to create an alt and start again?
Yes
what's the world most heavy in RP between all US datacenters?
Not really needed to know that, you can only do fates (if over the level limit) if you have level sync on
Balmung/Mateus
thxs
Yeah but syncing down to a level 10 FATE when you're 54 instead of doing a level 50+ FATE surely has different EXP outcomes?
Dang, Mateus' fame goes far and wide
Not sure
Fate experience does not scale
Lower lvl fates give lower exp
I searched in google for fate lists by level, pretty useful for under lvl 50 when I wanna fasl lvl up DPS, for lvl 50-80 it's in the zone where the msq for that level happened
Go to Garland Tools > click on databases > fates
And look at the different level ranges and make note of the zones they pop in
what's more powerful for dumping heals into a tank that's getting hammered (for example, pulled like half the dungeon) - Dissipation or Aetherpact?
Aether pact is more overall
But dissipation is more immediately
Assuming full gauge for aetherpact
so probably start with aetherpact and then if shit's really bad, go dissipation?
Dissipation removes your Fairy, hmm, no I’d keep Aetherpact on the tank
it also gives you a full aether stack so you can oh shit heal your tank
!action dissipation
Orders your faerie away while granting you a full Aetherflow stack. Also increases healing magic potency by 20%.
Duration: 30s
Current faerie will return once the effect expires.
Summon Eos or Summon Selene cannot be executed while under the effect of Dissipation.
Can only be executed while in combat.
Hope you have the normal Aetherflow stack, drop a Sacred soil on em, Excog, Emergency Tact+Recitation Adlo
You also buff your healing spells by 20 percent for 30s
ugh, annoying distinction
Doesn’t that not include the Aetherflow OGCD’s?
i get what you mean, abilities not affected
Nope
Yeah that wording only boosts GCD heals
!faq healingbuff
Ummm
!action mantra
i've read it yesterday
My move would still be Aetherpact the tank for the big HOT
!faq healingup
There's two notable types of healing up buffs in the game. The most common for healers to have is written as "increases healing magic potency." Skills with this phrasing buff the outgoing healing done from GCD heals only by the person(s) with this buff applied, and it does not affect oGCD heals.
Healer actions with this effect:
• Neutral Sect (AST)
• Fey / Seraphic Illumination (SCH | applies to the whole party)
• Dissipation (SCH)
• Temperance (WHM)
The other type is written as "HP recovery via healing actions." Skills with this phrasing increase the amount of incoming heals on the target with this buff and the increase is applied to ALL heals, including oGCDs. With the exception of Asylum, these skills come from non-healer roles, so it's helpful to know how they function.
Actions with this effect:
• Asylum (WHM | Players must be inside the bubble to receive buff)
• Mantra (MNK | AOE buff)
• Nature's Minne (BRD)
• Thrill of Battle (WAR)
• Improvisation (DNC | AOE buff)
Not pop dissipation until Aetherpact runs out
are there situations in the game where you would aetherpact somebody other than the tank?
if the tank is asleep or something?
Just to keep yourself alive so you can heal everyone else in bad situations
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Yeah, most of the time, main tank for sure
I thought the raids for Alexander would be long and have like 24 people
24 man for heavensward is dun scaith series
Normal raids and alliance raids are different
alliance raids are mostly a mindless zerg romp
Can you sell mounts?
Can I assume lilies counts as gcd heals? That's almost all I've been using temperance
Oh ok but why cant I see mounts section in the market board
Because you buy the mount summoning items, not the mounts itself
Yes
Ty!
Ohh what section is that in
Miscellany
Thanks
The first one is the zu
So look up keys, whistles, or horns
Alright
How long until the embargo lifts?
like 6 hours
So guys, im level 14 in eureka right now, whats the fastest to reach lvl 18? im having a hard time completing sprite in the logs
just Fates and grind mobs?
anyone know a good place to find macros looking for a collectable macro for gatherer
http://ffxivmacro.com/ i guess?
Final Fantasy XIV macro sharing
i@tropic flameis the like eureaka riding map i can buy
I don't think so
I searched up those and theres nothing and I've checked miscellany
Partial match
Alright let me check it out
so is "The Blackest Night" for DRK in most cases basically an equivalent of other tanks' self heals, if used correctly?
Ok found it thanks
how come everything on blue gives me like 10k exp per kill
that's their superpower
can be a round my level, way higher level, it's always 10k
the monsters are their teachers
it will become bigger on higher levels
by the end of heavensward you'll be getting 100k xp per mob
You get exp from learning spells too
what range should you kill enemies in
about 4-6 levels above you is good
Make sure you fill out that spell book
yeah learn some hard control spells that nullify their attacks
yeah eventually
so you can pull like 5 of them and just aoe them down while they do nothing
well I use thousand needles so that wont aoe down 5 enemies
That falls off at some point
learn any of the aoe spells, they're all basically the same to a point
the 220 potency ones
there's an upgrade in heavensward with choco meteor at 300
but other than that that's your best spammable aoe
yeah I just need to get there first

Just do the tag and bag strat
that needs someone
you can level solo no problem, i did it
it will take you longer but you can go at your own pace
So get someone, ain’t that hard
nah
plus it's 9 in the morning
is there a discord bot that i can invite to my personal discord for fates?
special fates
why not just use centurio hunts discord and subscribe to their pings
i think i prefer not having a lot of servers
when does the current gear get changed so we can buy it for poetics? at launch of endwalker or some later patch? i am about to hit 80 and i am wondering if i should just buy crafted gear or wait till endwalker launch and buy gear for poetics?
Endwalker launch
speaking of, revelations will be moved to poetics, but what about allegory gear? will they move it to uh... sacks of nuts?
or also poetics
Poetics too
Wow EXP in this game is horrendous unless doing dailies or quests... Also many FATEs in Coerthas are bosses that can't be soloed anyway.
I've only ever used this server for help, but is there a channel to ask something akin to "Hey anyone wanna team up and farm FATEs" or something?
Or bozja
Fates give very little unless ur Blu
Yeah but waiting for a dungeon to pop up takes ages and while waiting I can only really do FATEs
In queue, what else can I do
actually you can solo most FATEs, you just have to level up your chocobo to be a healer
I've done every quest there is except job quests for the ones I've not yet finished
Didn't like map looking like shit
the only hard FATEs to solo are the ones with the special extra intense music, those bosses have 5 times the health of other boss fates
And those are scattered around here so can't really do them solo
those are very rare and have 30 min timers
most u can solo with a chocobo on ur side
in the duty roullete: levelling description, it says bonus exp/gil based on the level discrepency between character and duty levels. what does this exactly mean?
my character is lv33 and i have only unlocked up til the lv24 dungeon from the MSQ
chocobo healer is a gamechanger for solo outdoor content
39 MCH, queueing for Cutter's Cry (38 dungeon) and whilst doing that I would like to actually gain more tha 0.01% per enemy kill ;_;
The bonus exp scales
being lv33, i will recieve exp relevant to a lv33 character?
Do I have to complete a quest to be able to fly on my mount, or is there a for I have to press?
!faq flight
'How can I unlock Flying?'
Flying is unlocked in A Realm Reborn zones simply by completing the level 50 story quest 'The Ultimate Weapon'.
Flying is further unlocked in the expansions through the collecting of a zone's Aether Currents, with every zone having ten 'green' Aether Currents found in the overworld and five 'yellow' Aether Currents obtained through the MSQ and side quests marked with a plus sign. Azys Lla is the only zone to not have any green Aether Currents. You must collect all Aether Currents in a zone to be able to fly.
'Where can I find the green Aether Currents?'
Upon obtaining the Story Quest 'Divine Intervention' you get the Aether Compass, which is a key item you can use to locate the nearest non-quest Aether Current. This can be set to your Hotbar for ease of use. Alternatively, you can use this website to show the location of all Aether Currents for a zone. http://heavenswhere.com/
Thanks
it basically goes at the end of the dungeon: oh you just completed a level 15 dungeon as level 59 and got piss poor exp... here's an extra amount of exp so it's like you've done a level 59 dungeon instead
but that's only once a day
Why cant I fly with my mount
have you completed the quest The Ultimate Weapon?
did you read the faq posted
no
no..
then that
ok ok
Is it better to use midare-first opener to get tsubame-gaeshi more in an encounter? Or higanbana first, always?
iirc dot/higanbana first always
i doubt that the 7 seconds you spend doing a higanbana is going to lead you to get more tsubame-gaeshis
ty
is spamming 1000 needles really the best skill until 50
no
get yourself an aoe skill, like the groundpound something from southern thanalan
Plaincracker
those deal no damage because no gear
...get gear?
I guess I will continue spamming thousand needles until 50
vendor whites are very cheap at that level
You’re gonna die
Normal spells become better in the 40’s when using gear
1k needles has a slow cast
1k needles bores you to death IRL
yeah it has a long cast time but you can just use one of your very long hard ccs
Do you even have eruption
nah
Ifrit normal drops it
yeah I know
So get it
it's still gonna take forever to kill
No it won’t, it’s a lvl 20 fight
