I thought it was 7
I was wondering how do I unlock Edenmore Promise Savage Content?
I finished the Edenmore Story Line (Last Quest was "Where I Belong") and "Lewry" doesn't give any unlockable content anymore. What am I missing?
which of these options
HIGH END DUTY tab in the duty finder
Thanku ❤️
I removed a main atack by mistake and now he isnt on the hotbar anymore how can I use him again?
it
Action and traits
For your skills
items carry over when you world transfer right? so technically i could buy stacks of a cheaper item in jp and then resell for the higher price in na after i transfer?
Yes
thank you
Does determination matter? Idk why im just thinking of this
Ah, alright
https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Guide:Shadowbringers_Progression_and_Level_Locked_Content
why arent nier raids included here? different expansion ?
expansion msq exp will always be just enough to get you through it without having to do side content to reach level requirements, right?
finish MSQ asap
what...that's not my question
They are
i ask to know if i should give rdm(60) some of the stormblood quest exp cause my war is already 62
oh
use msq exp for ur fav class
i already did that and i have a 76 blm when i started hw, i dont want to repeat that, that's why im spreading
so i need to complete those 2 quests under the raid's name ?
the question is if i spread will i still be reaching requirements
requirements for what
yeah
and you can fill in with daily roulettes anyways
thanks
@regal pawn "nier" is 2 raids or more a chain like eden
3 in a chain
3 alliance raids
so copied factory/puppet's bunker/??? which is the third
3 alliance, 12 normal split into 3 groups
Tower
alright ty both of you
Tower at Paradigm Breach
Yes
They tell a story
yeah
it's definitely Nier
and definitely a story, alright
Note: I will 100% not be able to explain wtf happens in the story so don't ask me. I don't know myself.
In gpose, is there a way to hide duty entrance/exit portal things?
Would the Starter Edition + Endwalker Pre order give me up to shb or should I get SHB complete edition
It will, in November
In November you’ll get access to SB and ShB
I think its the hide object options in the display settings @vernal urchin
So what's the better option rn cus i'm just gonna bite the bullet and buy xiv again on mac
!faq buy
Do you wanna spend 60 or 100 dollars
Yeah that's what i'm thinking rn
PLEASE HELP
I right clicked the left numbers on the skillbards and they all indented to the left....
That just seems like you made your hotbars into 3x4
You can change their layout
and move them around
./hudlayout
or through the menu
Always 12 slots
Personally I recommend turning off the numbers in character config
it worked! where are the numbers in the character config?
Hi, What's the best way to level up a tank 71-80?
how come my 4th hotbar saved as my dark knight skills...
got it ty
Dungeons or bojza/zandor
?

bozja
Question, does road to 70 apply to any new character made on any world or?
Depends, actually
only to new
It all depends on how good your queue times are
With good queue times, Dungeons can be miles faster
Cause you can stack armoury, the earring, FC buff/squadron scroll, food etc.
While Bozja only gets the Armoury bonus
it only applies to new characters made on a preferred world @fresh cairn
That's why I was wondering about a tank, I know as a solo dps Bozja might be better because of queue times
thank you, @regal pawn & @twilit arch 
Thanks
FATEs or raid, which is faster for this step? Thanks!
Do botu
whats the lvl 60 weapon for tomestone trading
augmented Shire
how copme i dont see it
Queue for raids and farm fates in hte meantime
in her shop
lady on the right
i only see armor
Thank you.
oh ty!
I personally find fates faster.
Does the raids drop more than 1 each run?
i need to write a ticket to support but the query i need to fill requires me to type a home world and area but i'm not sure what they mean with area
But you can do the fates and queue for raids at the same time
What zone are you in
Also, pro tip : queue with DPS for alliance raids. It's actually faster
how much gil does a full set of exarchic cost? typically
i see so the ingame zone
Your best bet is to search on universalis, but probably around 500k
Honestly I'd say if you get away with it for 500k you got a good deal
But I really don't see the point of exarchic
It's a quick ticket to current endgame
If you do the Eden raids you're gonna get the gear you need to progress
And they're fun
Depends on server too. You can get a full set on say, anything but jenova for half the price of jenova cause the market people here are scum
If you got the money to spend, it's easy
Exarchic is the shortcut
Money must be saved up to buy dodo mount
Know your priorities
I guess exarchic has some pretty swanky pieces
I see....
Do I have to collect the same memories all over again if I want to make another relic weapon?
i jsut finished A Relic Reborn (Bravura), can i put it in the box so i can use that as glamour?
No
need to finish till zeta
if you want the bravura for glamour, you need to do it manually
not through glamour dresser
Haunting/vexing step is one time only
You skip it for repeats
Thank god
ahhh manual glam is okay for now
Raids are fun but that's 12 of them
Same with the quest after getting the artifacts (180 item steps)
I see...
The 180 item step needs to be redone or not?
Seems great to me.
So then the only problem is the 20 x 3 step after the first weapon...
Pretty much but cluster farming with that + bitter active makes it trivial
You can stock up on those can’t you
Yes
Hello how to do extreme old contents raids like shiva unsynced?
!faq unsync
In your duty finder window select the ⚙️ icon on the top left to open up the duty finder settings window.
Inside that window select the setting undersized party before confirming and entering the instances of your choice. NOTE: UNSYNC-ING AN INSTANCE WILL FORFEIT ALL OF YOUR EXP AND COMPLETION REWARDS. Poetics from a first time completion bonus and loots chests remain the same and will not be lost. You may not queue for daily roulettes using this method.
Toggle this
@tawny lion don't forget you can BLOAT yourself on XP with Bojza and zadnor while farming for your weapon
I see. But kinda do not want to level up any other class before new expansion :p
Argh
Level a class from 1 to 70 to optimize your farming
That's just like a 20 hours investment
To optimize a 10 hour process
Or memories and money
Not sure though. I want to play a healer since I have only played DPS.
With fragment ?
Or whatever from clusters
That's selling well
Mount, emotes or whatever is priced well
What’s that a lvl 70 healer? Coming in a month?
Sage
😹
How
All the actions I have hit like wet noodles
Gain power
Or seraph strike and Burst melt shit
I have to farm up DR for my frlic
And enjoy big ir number
What a coincidence I'm a war main
Warrior is busted as shit in bojza
Speaking of actions, what's the proc rate of lost assassinate or lost death ?
Cause banners and Slash line up with Inner release
WAR is the best everywhere
Will bozjan die after endwalker? I have never done any Eureka since I joined after shb, how is it now?
Bojza will always be good for levelling
Nah cause it's good for levelling
Damn
It's not terrible. Ordained helps out
I used a stack of both and never got a single proc
I still break equal when death farming Star mobs
Does it work on big FATEs mobs ? Like the magitek worker one, the big robot
Damn that's useless
Bosses are immune as standard
It's just for little world mobs ?
Star mob farming ?
Mobs with a star as their rank
Always wondered what that was about
They drop different fragments
Makes sense
They're the strongest in the zone
But you can death them
All except 1
Can you death "small" fate star mobs ?
But that's in zone 1 which has shit frags
The small trash ones yeah...can do it with Snakes in that one Zadnor ce
But not the seeq one with beasts I guess
But proper bosses are immune
hey, cant rly find an answer online, if i vacate my appartment, do i get the gil back ?
No
...
The squadron quest isn't showing up for me, even though I'm a second lieutenant and did all previous quests
I'tolwann is ill pleased with the carelessness of the Wench's customers.
I'Tolwann

I did
I completed it a while ago
It even shows up in my journal that I did
18
Something like that
when you go purchase a free plot of land, is the devaluation timer what indicates when it will be available for purchase?
no
you can't see the timer at all
you just have to keep clicking until it's available to be bought
whats the best way to get quick raw emotions if i dont plan on making another relic?

@smoky totem erm… as in just saving raw emotions?
Speedrun DR or hells lid
They're only doing it once
Oh I thought they did the step already
They're asking the fastest way to get them for it
Raw emotions are quickest from running Hell's Lid
DR takes 30-40mins unless you've got a solid team
Yeah but DR is bomb XP
Dal is...slow as fuck too cause 1hr timegate between spawns
Not DR
DR doesnt, Bozja does
... huh
You physically can't que as a non 80
Basically Dal sucks, DR is OK if you're doing two relics at once because it's the fastest for the 5th step (run 5 of em), then run 5 Hell's Lid
DR speedruns are sub 20 min with a good team
not sure if it goes here, or in #glamour-discussion
but on the fashion contest in gold saucer, going by that fashion report, I just wear a hempen shepherd's tunic, and leather duckbills, and thats it?
I dont have to do anything more than that?
I remember an instantiated Bojza stuff that wasn't Castrul and have bomb XP
can you get them unsync?
If you can get a team yes
No
I think at least
aAAAAA
Bozja/zadnor is far better xp than running DR
put stuff in the other slots just to have them filled but yeah
you can clear probably 20 fates in one DR
I wouldn't go that far
Dr doesn't even give you xp
Z3 trains yes
Since it's 80 only
DR is lvl 80 only
I don't have Z3 yet
huh, all this time i thought that contest thing was more elaborate than that
Mettle gain slows down a lot once you get to zadnor. Paradoxically.
didn't mean dr, meant duty roulette
Not really
too many acronyms
Zadnor has significantly higher mettle gain
Yeah but you also need a whole lot more to rank up
Basically your prog is Bozja until CLL and then zadnor until you hit 25
Never go back to bozja unless on the 15 memory step cause 3 CLL is the fastest
You're better off going to zadnor ASAP, no ?
It's like 200 times more mettle gain
Like it's fucking nuts
I don't really understand why they'd make Bojza obsolete mettle wise
because it's meant to introduce you to the mechanics
Guess it's still better for XP because the CEs pop faster. Also Castrum waiting room
What mechanics ?
and you unlock zadnor at what...15?
Right after DR
Mettle mechanics, CLL
What's CLL
Castrum...
Never saw that acronym
Really?
Aint nobody typing "LFG castrium lactus licorice"
I'd still like for bozja to not litterally give hundred times less than zadnor
Which is why you get groups of 8 tanks
It's just very jarring
Zadnor was added later
It's just more incentive to play a new thing
Doesn't really matter though. Mechanics burst you open if you get hit no matter what.
It does matter
They should normalize stuff like that after a while methinks
24 tanks on top = the kill takes 3x longer than bottom
Good point
cause most parties are too scared to split
I thought essences were in DR only
Deep essences, yes
Not pure or normal
Nah, you just take actions in DR
Or was it pure
pure is dr only
One of them
You queue with your actions and essence in castrum
Essenses and actions are for all bojza content
Including stuff in your holster
So keep it stocked
Seems like a waste to use them in CLL unless you're overstocked
Lol?
If you wanna drag people down then go ahead
if you wanna slow down the run then ok
People like that are the reason shit takes forever
Do people do "optimized DE" in party finder ?
And get outdps by 3x the amount to a tank
they definitely help with clearing.
Most CLL runs have a lot of low level people anyway
Maybe you're more likely to wipe once or twice sure but that ain't never stopped anyone
one essence isnt going to help anyone tbh
It does
Damage is damage my dude
Well nobody's bitched at me for not using one so idk
as someone who has cleare DR over 120 times,
It absolutely does, 1000% make a difference. and it's not like you'd be the only person thinking "well one essenceless person doesn't hurt"
Think people just dont care as long as you're not being a bot
Cause we expect less and people still disappoint us
Then put a PF up and dont matchmake?
If only you could PF castrum proper
They don't care enough to complain but everyone likes it when things are expedient
It's not an argument
You have tools to speed up the run
Use them
Not really a good mentality. Putting on an essence doesn't take any effort. Just press the button and get 50% more damage, that's free
there's literally zero reason to hoard essences
Shits easy as hell to farm so it's no excuse
Speaking of essence, is the "get less HP, do more damage, take more damage" essence worth the risk on a tank ? In DR I guess you die in two hits anyway but for the rest ?
at this point in content it's just griefing to not use one.
Cluster farmzzzzz
it's mostly worthless in base content
Only if you know what you're doing
DR is easy enough that you wont be dying unless you fall asleep or havent done it yet
So it makes you that much more squishy huh
Irregular runs literally mean "use mitigation on EVERY raid wide or die"
that's just factually wrong. like not even a matter of opinion.
DR is not easy I'd say. Done it only once yet but it's very rogue at some points
Dying in two hits from EVERYTHING sucks
But irregular runs are very fun to do
And casually rip aggro off the tank without trying
I just don't find it difficult unless i'm not paying attention to the queen's 2nd orders or the 4 seasons
Imagine that
Irregular + Banner + Slash
That's like
1mil
Under raid buffs
That's gonna fucking rip aggro
I suppose there's a guide for optimal essence + actions somewhere ?
It's mostly just dps essence + Font + banner for the generic set up
which items in the event shop will be event exclusive?
Jacket
Should be a eureka/bozja discord somewhere with all the number crunchers and kiddos with 500 clears of everything
Forget what the link is
Tanks usually good Bloodsucker + Font + Blood rage Or Banner. Warrior drops Font for Lost slash
Healers are typically Seraph strike + Chainspell or Font of Magic
I've seen people complain about how much life steal people take in bojza
Cause the lifesteal is fucking strong
Beast is OK but only if you have lost Assassination for the font of Power buff
It's not like you're gonna die from dmg in DR anyway
Otherwise it's bleh
You die to doom
how tf does plus rule work in triple triad
did the judging period for the fashion report end already?
hasn't started for this week yet
i see thanks
Btw does anyone know why DR needs you being 80 ?
It's just how they made it
Because it just does
So no reason ?
Why do level 80 dungeons require you to be level 80?
can you buy fully charged aetheral wheels/ conversely are the fully charged ones tradable?
Bojza content is leveling content
is it possible to get 200,000 MGP before the regalia goes away?
Easily
Not exactly and not all bozja content
of course
Do fashion report for a quick 80
60k with FR this week, and then just making sure you do challenge log plus GATES when they're up
Well all except DR. And maybe the last instance but I haven't unlocked it yet
Last instance behaves same as Southern front
It's relic content. It's not leveling content.
You have to finish the shb msq to even unlock StQ.
Except that you don't get exp from dr
Yeah, which is a little weird
Living up to the name I see
that's just how they decided to go with things
Yeah like castrum
no
Which is inside the instance of shit
castrum is a special CE
Castrum is a raid, you get a fuckton of xp from it
Castrum is just a big ce
but its still a CE
Castrum is a raid by a different name, come on
Its not a raid
you only need to clear Delubrum once in order to continue the story, and in order to even unlock the Southern Front you need a job at Level 80
Also you can’t do it unless you’re lvl 80
even if you could do Delubrum at Level 71+, it wouldn't reward any EXP since they don't want it to take away people out of the instances
Castrum is not a raid. And ultimately you're arguing with us about something that the devs just decided and isn't within our control
Out of curiosity
and what are GATEs exactly?
Fates in the saucer
they're basically just FATES with a different name
Basically
I never meant to argue anything I just wondered if there was a reason. Curiosity, y'know
in the gold saucer
Mini games that happen every 20 mins in the saucer
i see
!faq gateschedule
Not the first time I just wonder about something and it turns into an argument for no real reason, it's weird
there is ascian-like gear in the 5.3 dungeon
slice is a waste of time
Oh, yeah, saw that one, I meant something else
Slice has achievements I want
Not a fan on how those ones look
If you can win the slice rng
You're goated
Also, even participating in gates is part of the challenge log, so none of them are a waste of time
Might as well try your luck
Wind RNG
rng is rng
make a blood sacrifice to rngesus
dunno, only just started
You'll be here for awhile
my friend is getting them on 2nd or 3rd try
Pull up a chair
so he's getting ungodly lucky
I think I got to 96
and not me whos getting unlucky

Had like 30 copies of the 1 star card he drops
like, what's the average for a card, and do some have lower droprates than others?
Is there a buyable version of this? I'm sick of Mt gulg
https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/playguide/db/item/40ed3b75b76
yes
You forget, the head of localisation literally named one of the gods Thal so the swear "Thals balls" could be part of the game
True Griffin Hat of Casting
that said tho, mt gulg should realistically only take like 11? or so run
assuming you are running as a caster, and keep the items
There's a sharknado joke on one of the fish
And need all the casting drops to boost your chance

do golden saucer achievements give MGP?
is there online website for all triad cards and how rare they are?
not sure if this is the right spot, but i have a friend trying to get into the game and he cant load into the free trial properly, its asking him for a registration code so i had him change the startupcompleted in the boot file, and its saying he needs an active service account. he just made the account today and is playing it through steam
All cards yes, how rare no
Sounds like he's not using the free trial launcher
where did he buy it?
hes launching it through the free trial on steam
can't load into the free trial properly
so what would he do if its still through the free trial on steam? is that considered the normal launcher
i remember when i got into the game, i did it through that too and didnt have issues
hey guys when gathering in the diadem are you limit to level 10,60,80 items only

There's also the 80*,,* items
Sigh, asterisks acting fucky
Stars
Where do you even go to do guildhests anyway
I think I did the sprout guy ones and then ???
i had him download the free trial client and its saying the same thing
@warm snow got 40 with my botanist and was wondering why there was no 20-30 item levels to gather
Duty finder in the tab that looks like a paper
I have a shit memory but I don't see it on screenshots of the DF
What's the fastest way to pick up Revelation tomestones at the moment? Hunt trains?
what's the most appealing thing about this game
I'm new, just want to see why everyones quitting wow for final fantasy
this is entirely subjective, but things include:
- very good story
- well tuned fights, few bugs
- no real balancing problems
- you can play all jobs on one character, and only need to play the main story once
And no content is removed
seems nice
The game respects your time

<@&473626701947994134> can anyone help me out to finish the Dying Gasp? been waiting on q for long but no one is doing it T.T
What's a quick way to level from 50 to 60 on DPS?
to get the elemental armor (specifically the ranged one) from eureka, do you have absolutely have to start on your 70 weapon first?
Teleport button
You can bind "Teleport" to a skill button
ah great thanks, good thing im still in pagos
Be prepared for an auxillary grind for the logograms though, you need almost all of them for the armor
Either that or just chuck a mil at the market board to buy the problem
It's in the next area so but it's also a massive pain
It'll be a few mill for the more expensive ones
Please don't ping us for duty finder problems, we don't have characters across all Datacenters. If you're having issues, I'd recommend using Party Finder and advertising a First Time Clear.
I lucked out and only spend 1.2 mil for all the ones I needed
But I was grinding there for a loooong while beforehand
Are lvls locked behind the expansion purchases
yes
you're capped at the level cap of the highest expansion you own
Ah darn
if i relinquish my house then where does all my stuff go so i can go get it? caretaker?
or does it go straight to my inventory
Caretaker will have it
Though I think for relinquishing, you need to manually remove all the furniture yourself
how do i go to summerford farms?
its in middle la noscea
Exit from Limsa Lominsa Lower Decks to the east
thanks a lot guys
Hmm trying to solo ifrit extreme as a dragoon I get him to last phase but then I get overwhlem by the debuff
any idea?
The fight is very damage-intensive due to the debuffs.
If you’re doing it at 70 or so it’s hard to stay alive without self-sustain
I am lvl 80 dragoon but I dont have any healing stuff though
my dmg is good I get him to last phase in like 10 secs
but then all go downhill there
Save Bloodbath for the last phase, also save Life Surge to use for healing instead of damage on Ifrit
And pop Second Wind when it won’t overheal you
Also remember that most mods break whenever maintenance happens
i dont get what that means
As long as you don’t tell people you’re using it, you won’t get in trouble.
and even more with patching? u mean server maint. ?
first rule of fight club is you dont talk about fight club
Any maintenance in general, really
true
apply that to mods in game
Thanks I will try now
As long as it doesn’t provide a direct gameplay advantage that people would normally be unable to use, such as a certain plug-in that makes it possible to triple-weave without clipping your GCD, it’s fine
such a thing exists?
@obsidian patio sorry for the silly question but I dont see any second wind ability in my skills haha
Role actions
oh nvm man thanks a lot
Yes. The intended purpose of the plug-in is to let people with bad ping to double-weave without clipping, but it can be easily abused/adjusted to allow impossible things to happen like the example I gave.
There’s another plug-in that does the same thing, but without the possibility of abuse.
are elemental sets locked to the class in which you started your weapon in? so for ex: will I be able get the ranged elemental set if i started on a mnk weapon?
Elemental sets are not related to the relics you’ve done for eureka
All you need is to have any relic fully completed up to the Pagos stages
what you see is what you get
ah alright thats a relief, thanks!
Your gloves are hiding some of the spikes
If i remove an item from my Glamour Dresser does that affect any plates it may be on?
no
Thank you
is there anything valuable to do with materia that doesn't sell on the market?
or should I just vend it
take it to mutix (the guy that teaches you to use it) and give him 5 to get a random 1 back
personlly, unless you're just really out of market slots, Id just leave it listed
materia will start selling again once people start regearing in the expac
Is there a way to convert other tomestones to poetics
not atm
Do people really put the vampiric buff (i forgot the name, bloodbath?) and second wind on hotbar?
Or its only useful on low level?
Is ||Orbonne a retelling of FF Tactics||? Never played that game.
Free healing is free healing
Ok, thank you
I see
Only when a new expansion releases
Its just i imagined that... Most savage or extreme has 1 - 2 hit mech, i dont think its that good
In savage the only hit point that matters is the last one
That too
there are plenty of spots, even in savage where using bloodbath/second wind can help
I've used second wind to survive icicles on e12s and similar
not every thing in savage/extreme are 1hit kos
The job of an healer is keeping you alive, not fulled
An example are raid wide aoes
On extremes it can assist recovery when/if you fuck up and get a vuln stack
Sometimes they don't hit that hard
How hard is it to get to floor 200 in PotD, and 100 in HoH?
If i recall, the... "Story" finish of PotD is 100, yeah?
Yeah
PotD goes to 100???
goes to 200 even
Does it break ToS to trade item codes for gil?
probably
Sadness
I want a house but there's no good way to make money rn cuz all the craftables are old 😭
potd can make you gil with luck
Sadness ;-;
nightmare pegasus mount can get you 10mil
Black Pegasus, the mount with the badly named whistle
I'd need to get 2 of them cuz I'd use the first XD
can try treasure maps, extreme materials. eureka for gil
I suppose extreme materials
Or I could sell Zodiac craftables :3
There's noone selling those on my server
good luck o/

Do they ever make glowy weapon after a patch? Like they might make diamon weapon to become glowy on endwalker?
The weapon from the EX no
5.5 added hades and byakko weapons
But there will likely be a crafted version that does glow
yeah to be clear they implement crafted versions with glow
that is add either in endwalker or a later expansion
they do not retroactively make the existing versions glow
it is also arbitrary. we only very recently finished off heavensward glows, and stormblood ones are missing ones for Susano still
Yeah the time it takes for trial weapons to have crafted versions is very inconsistent
shadowbringers ones will likely not be done until late into 6.x, if at all
Like we got crafted Hades Weapons in this expansion
are we missing any from HW or Stormblood still besides Susano?
kinda doubting myself rn

yeah so I would expect Susano to be done in EW, and Shadowbringers to only be finished off in the expansion after EW
but this is a relative guess so it may be faster or slower 
or is it just me?
Around when do dragoon and samurai start picking up more ogcds. Both feel so slow to play in the 50s
is the halloween event here? i cant find any info
it wont be happening until nov
hi im a returning player
its just for this year
I played the first time when Shadowbringers came out
because there's been delays due to covid and whatnot
so it got pushed back a bit
that's all
but i did skip on everything then quit
I want to give it a try again but doing it right
there's a patching going on right?
is there a guide on how should I do it?
follow msq and do the 
no
huh weird -_-
most likely servers just being shitty at the moment
but my character probably has done all the msq already
you can do newgame+
ok, apparently it was my VPN, np
start way back in ARR
I turned off my VPN and it went back to normal 😹
duty -> new game +
then choose which part you want to play
i dont wanna make a new character because I dont wanna lose the name
NG+ is only available once you’ve cleared content on a per character basis
You wouldn’t be able to do it on a new character
yeah i remember playing it when shadowbringers came out and rushed all the msq
so I think it should be fine
apart from that any suggestions on how should I get to know the game?
I honestly cant remember anything
Pick up a new job and level it?
NG+ will be you r best way
you do not need to make a new char for NG+
that or just watch the cutscenes again on youtube to kinda get it
all i remember is that I played paladin black knight red mage and samurai
if you wanna get back into playing the game then yeah level a new class or practice on a dummy to get a rotation down
then bring it into content
I see thx
I'm doing the roaille quest, and Everytime I get the boss to literally 0 hp she doesn't die, defeated all the other enemies and she still doesn't die. Is this some kind of bug?
she doesnt die
protect ilberd instead
and any other npc
How should I lvl up alts

i win
2 fast

says i won
but yes check out that guide
Alright
so, i did the first Shadowbringers dungeon with the trust system, and it went pretty slowly. Are trusts just not very good?
Does the interview asmon and rich did with yoshi-p have any spoilers?
they are for fast ques, but pretty much always take 30 mins to run
none
Bots are always less useful than real players... usually....
However, Trusts have shorter queues (0 seconds lol), and the NPCs actually have commentary as you're running the dungeon. So it might be pretty immersive if you bring a specific NPC into a dungeon they're likely to have some interesting dialogs (e.g. The first ShB dungeon with Alisaie)
also, do note that trusts take 30 mins regardless of how much damage you do
meaning if you afk they start casting death lmao
someone's compiled all of the dungeon dialogue somewhere but it's nice to experience it yourself if you're leveling a dps
well around that
I like trusts
but yeah after a certain point they start doin crazy damage
I like trusts because of all the programmed behavior they have for the A.I of each character
It's very detailed
Yeah, an example is Thancred unable to use the cartridge mechanic of the gunblade if ||Minfilia|| isn't in your party
Fun fact alisae is the most aggressive A.I character in trusts, with ||Ryne|| close behind after ||she sheds her minfilia persona||. Yes, certain A.I have differing aggression levels depending on dungeon
Will I be able to get legend titles when EW releases?
Really? Even if you have a mage with you?
Alisaie is basically a sack of angry cats in a meat suit
Also, you get a title if u complete all the Trust dungeons iirc
Ah, right, that was it
what title
why wouldn't you?
In other words, we got friendzoned by all of our closest comrades...
Welp, back to Aymeric or some other person who's clearly interested in us...
Can one make progress on a resistance weapon for a different class while in Zadnor?
yes
||Well, we already got friendzoned hard by Y'stola with the whole Runar thing||
Ok, thx.
||Urianger is probably still mourning after Moenbryda. Thancred is Thancred.||
What's the fastest way of increasing resistance rank?
Just running around doing as many FATES as possible?
fates til CE's, then do CE's
ooof...
||if it makes you feel better she pretty much friendzoned runar too
||
guys
get to zadnor as quick as possible though, the mettle gains there are hundreds of thousands compared to southern fronts several thousands.
please keep that stuff to appropriate channels, which this is not
I assume that's another zone? I've only unlocked up to the 2nd zone
tbh we should probably just have a channel dedicated to Y'shtola. It only makes sense.
bozjan southern front = first zone, zadnor = second zone
zadnor is a whole other instance separate from the southern front
I thought that's what #archived-lore-spoilers was.
Oh...
So... in other words... i'm still in the first zone, but unlocked the 2nd area only?
Pretty much
yep
Better get to grindin
both bozja and zadnor have 3 sections
Story will give you access to zadnor once you progress more
and are unlocked at specific levels
ooof... gonna take awhile... need to hit rank 10 asap to start working on my resistance weapons...
can someone send me the real link to the ffxiv launcher the one on steam is super laggy
if I need 1000 poetics fast, but have already run all my roulettes - whats a good route?
!faq download
Uuuh, run low level trials/dungeons on the DF.
Hope you get a new player bonus.
!faq poetics
tysm
iirc the fastest way is farming Aetherochemical Research Facility
ah nvm, I'll just start on the resistance weapon tomorrow :T
Also, is it me, or is the rate of getting memories from Bozja FATEs really low?
Would it be better to forego doing them once i hit rank 10 and do regular fates in HW?
as far as what? exp?
huh?
would it be better..
to which end would it be better that you are asking?
the drop rate from the fates is pretty low, if you're going for memories in bozja you do cluster farm
not skirmishes
For getting memories
they said so in their sentence, Lore
I guess I dont understand the context of "getting memories"
I always just did HW fates since those had 100% drop rates
So... killing mobs has better rate than skirmishes?
if you dont have to wear the weapon in order to get those, you could double up and do HW fates for Lux weapon stuff
yes
doing cluster farm is also more productive because you can get the other zone memories
without being there as the party is broken up into 3 groups
one in zone 1, one in zone 2 and one in zone 3
uh... huh?
u mean a party of 8 splits into 3 different groups to farm in different zones?
yes
And party members from a different zone will get memories but no xp?
enemies dont give much if any exp
Oh right
main source of leveling in bozja is skirmishes/ces
I assume enemies dead in a different zone also gives clusters to us even if we're far away?
ya
yes
I see, thanks
I get clusters all the time when I'm at the homebase
How is this method in terms of mettle farming?
Since i need to also get to rank 10 asap
I see...
predominately from skirmishes/ces
for the tomestone moogle event do we still get tomes if we do some of the duties unsynced? for example the heavensward trials
Then comparing this method to doing fates in HW, which is better/faster?
no
generally cluster farm is going to be faster
ah ty!
Alright, thanks
so i should aim to reach rank 10, and unlock Zandor first, before doing the cluster farming method
Oh? So people farm clusters on the first map?
yes
I see
efficiently farming clusters is far more efficient than hw fates
The key words is "efficiently" though
the materials that drop from zadnor are for a different step

That means a group in all 3 zones doing beeg pulls
If you don't have that (and especially if you have Blu) hw fates are better
My BLU is only lv 50 sadly 😦
Are there any minions that sit on your shoulder like this but are darker color or more "edgy"
midgardsormr
Nanamo
edgy nanamo? 
hunting hawk works too
shit you guys are using pots?
oki
is it X-potion?
I use Hi potions
ty 😄
make sure to get the HQ ones
can use the nq as practice
sweet
didnt know if it was like WoW
you can only use 1 pot per fight cause it doesnt go on CD during combat
normally you pot in your opener
yea that's what ima be doing
then 2nd pot in the appropriate burst window after its cd
3rd pot and more only happens in 3 fights in the whole game psure
everytime i try and download the game it says unable to download patch files
any fix?
uninstall the launcher completely and redownload it
Platform doesn't really matter
okay
It's corrupted files in the launcher
ill try it out hopefully it works
I've had that issue on the free trial from SE, steam version normally and SE normal version lol
