[deft quiver]

and now im gonna have to get pld too bc its sick

[modern sorrel]

What does Endwalker Early Access mean?

For pre-ordering what does that get you?

[faint flare]

Let's you access the expansion content on the 19th

And the preorder xp earring

[obsidian patio]

Early Access is basically the full launch

[faint flare]

The 19th is the launch for all intents and purposes

[warped nest]

Quick literally access the game early

Not even access a beta build of XIV

[modern sorrel]

Oh so if you buy endwalker past the 19th you gotta wait to play it at a later date?

[brave prawn]

https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/playguide/db/item/0944b5bc88e/ I'm talking to auriana to buy this for my relic weapon and I cannot find it, am I looking in the wrong place?

[warped nest]

(which is the kind of bullshit other games do)

[brave prawn]

I've gone over like every page

[faint flare]

You can preorder endwalker until it launches

[twilit arch]

its in the special arms section

[faint flare]

Then it just becomes normally buying it on the 23rd

[warped nest]

Tldr: buy and play

[tall mountain]

think you've got to complete a quest to unlock more scrip vendor choices

[brave prawn]

I'm stoopid thank you

No I see it

[tall mountain]

ah ok

[modern sorrel]

Oh I get it now

Thanks VinylTails

[tall mountain]

it's not even scrips anyway it's tomestones so

[warm yacht]

What're the best levies I can do as a level 27 MRD

[warped nest]

For exp?

[warm yacht]

ye just trying to hit 30 so I can do potd

[warped nest]

You should consider doing dungeons

[deft quiver]

do dungeons ye

27 to 30 should be like 1 or 2 runs of your highest level one

[warped nest]

And we generally recommend doing dungeons to earn exp over doing potd

[obsidian patio]

It’s fine to do POTD as the class

[warped nest]

What Wynne said too

Combat leve is just not so good for exp

Unless you happen to need just a bit to level up

Even then you can just do FATEs

[frozen wind]

So I hit max rep on noodles but still can't buy or find wind up oldhee

Why can't I buy that dragon minion even with max rank moogle?

[twilit arch]

because you need to do the allied beast tribe quest to buy that one

[pure zenith]

which requires maxing out the other HW beast tribes

to get the quest chain

[frozen wind]

So I need ALL hw beast tribe reputation??/

[pure zenith]

yes

[frozen wind]

Yea nvm not worth jt

Last question

Does life surge effect the dot damage of chaos thrust?

Or only the I itia hit

[pure zenith]

!action life surge

[zinc orbit]

**Life Surge** : lvl 6 LNC DRG (45.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Ensures critical damage for first weaponskill used while Life Surge is active.
Duration: 5s
Effect cannot be applied to damage over time.
Additional Effect: Absorbs a portion of damage dealt as HP

Powered by XIVAPI

[pure zenith]

^effect cannot be applied to damage over time

[warped nest]

While it is not specified here

I believe that it doesn't work on AOE weaponskill either

[frozen wind]

What not even aoe sjills??

[warped nest]

Not last I checked

[frozen wind]

Okay so just only use ls on full thrust

[twilit arch]

it does work on aoe

[frozen wind]

I'm shocked that it doesn't work on aoe

Okay good

[warped nest]

Oh, it does?

Cool

[devout anvil]

Which ones are these 2

[warped nest]

ARR ex maybe?

[frozen wind]

Okay s I can use life surgery on ciethan torment then

[warped nest]

@devout anvil can you take screen shots of the extreme trial in your Duty finder?

Specifically the ARR and Heavensward sections

[pure zenith]

the other 2 containment exs most likely

sephirot and sophia

[warped nest]

Can you even unlock just Zurvan EX?

[pure zenith]

for some reason im assuming that the ones listed are ones theyve finished

[warped nest]

Fair assumption

[twilit arch]

dont need to do previous exs to unlock zurvan

[heavy wadi]

probably the two arr relic trials

either that or the hildibrand ones

[warped nest]

Are those included in the mentor roulette?

[twilit arch]

yes

[heavy wadi]

yes

[twilit arch]

they're trials so they're part of it

[warped nest]

Hildi is a very good guess too

So, just take screenshot of your trials and ex trials

In the ARR and HW section

[dire prawn]

Isn't Mentor Roulette like every instance in XIV

[faint flare]

Except savages and coils

Yes

[ripe hound]

Wait I need to do hildibrand to unlock Mentor Roulette?

Weird

[pearl mesa]

Is there a list somewhere of roulette EXP reward output?

I know it varies by roulette and level, and I need about 5mil more to hit 70 and want to know if it's worth doing the remaining roulettes.

[heavy wadi]

it's not weird. it has trials locked behind it

[faint flare]

50/60/70 and guildhests are terrible to for xp

Rest are fine to do

[golden siren]

is duty roulette a once daily thing? im lv26 and still finding the fastest way to level - do i just follow the arr msq?

[faint flare]

Yes

Story carries you to 80

And is MANDATORY

[pearl mesa]

Yeah, I'm dealing with roulettes because this is an alt class.

Roulettes refresh daily and give a good amount of EXP.

Unless they are Guildhest Roulette, which gives absolutely piddling experience unless you're under lv50.

[restive yarrow]

I've been seeing a lot of people wearing "The Howling Spirit" is that event currently active or are they buying it from the mog station?

[honest anvil]

mog station

Is this true? that once you got a ptmate that completed the arr atma stage. in increase the chances of atma being dropped?

[honest anvil]

no

but get party members anw cause that’ll kill fates faster

[dire prawn]

I have a question

[gray crescent]

i see

[dire prawn]

When continuing a PotD save file do I have to queue up as the job I'm running with

Or will it make me switch jobs if I'm on another one when it pops like queuing for anything normally

The answer is I have to switch oof

[fossil bloom]

yes and yes

[tiny crag]

Are there any easy to follow leveling guides for Disciplines of Hand/Land? Such as what items and areas to go to/gather at certain levels? I'm struggling to level up my alchemist and botanist, for example. 😅

[little swift]

can he download it at a different connection?

[queen fern]

https://ffxivguild.com/ffxiv-alc-alchemist-leveling-guide-ffxivarr/

I follow the guides on this site.

The terms and macros are outdated.

But the actual levequests and methods used still work.

[steel canopy]

PotD solo question, at what point should i start seriously avoiding mobs?

[obsidian patio]

150+ is when things start to get very spicy

But you ideally want to start getting used to it past like 120

[leaden ginkgo]

do you not get to customize their appearance?

[faint flare]

No

[leaden ginkgo]

is it randomized or is there a single preset for each race/gender

[faint flare]

Preset

[leaden ginkgo]

ah dangit

I assume theres no way to put a retainer inside a house? only in gardens?

[twilit arch]

only garden

[lost depot]

hihi

im new

and have a question

[hard badge]

Hey I bought a lvl skip for the dark knight. Is there a way for me to obtain the lvl 60 chaos set. I managed to find the lvl 70 gear from a vendor but not 60. Ping me! Ty

[lost depot]

im trying to download ff14 via the download link from the website

and im getting a popup saying unable to complete version check

[last mural]

Does the lvl skip also complete your job quests? IIRC, the lv 60 Chaos set comes from the lv 60 DRK job quest

[last mural]

Hi new, got a screenshot?

[lost depot]

[faint flare]

Centurio seals in the forgotten knight

[hard badge]

It complete the job quests but I didn’t get a gear coffer

[last mural]

A quick google search gave me this answer. Not sure if it'll work:
https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/6nzwkk/fix_unable_to_complete_version_check_error/

[hard badge]

I’ll try that

[lost depot]

it didnt work

[lost depot]

has anyone else ran into this problem before?

also thank you for the help @last mural

[naive kraken]

try clearing cache and cookies of your browsers, especially microsoft ones

and give your pc a reboot too

[strange folio]

returning player here, is bard still a decent/viable option for a dps focussed supporting class?

[faint flare]

Every job is viable

[strange folio]

i havent played since heavensward so idk what has changed

[faint flare]

Then everything is reworked

[strange folio]

oo i see

well shoot, guess i have to just re-try everything

[naive kraken]

the only time class really matters is if you're shooting for fast clear times or high parse

[strange folio]

oh i see

[boreal storm]

Just look at an up to date guide

[faint flare]

See pins for a video summary on job

[lost depot]

google cache correct?

[strange folio]

so there isnt much so to say discouraging words for specific classes?

[faint flare]

No

[naive kraken]

google, firefox if you have them, and especially internet explorer and microsoft edge

[strange folio]

oh good!

[faint flare]

[strange folio]

ty ty o7

[civic dirge]

Regarding the meta faq, and even tho lots say its fine, I also see a lot of negativity towards dragoon, and I wanted to ask, will I face harder to find parties for specific content etc cause I play it?

[faint flare]

No

Ignore fucking garbage tier trash

Aka people who say jobs are bas

[strange folio]

o:

well that makes me feel better already lmao

[naive kraken]

the only times it might be hard to find parties is if your data center has an overabundance of red mage, for example, solely because when they only one one job per party, you can't join if your red mage is geared and there's a red mage in the party already.

but that's very specific

and data center specific

[lost depot]

it still gives the same pop up

ty for the suggestion tho ):

[naive kraken]

did you give your pc a reboot?

[lost depot]

yes yes

[civic dirge]

Oh oki, also, even tho im super low lvl, is there a way to know if im doing okish dps in dungeons etc? I feel like the tanks do more damage than me with dps xD

[faint flare]

!faq act

[zinc orbit]

ACT/Parsing

Advanced Combat Tracker (ACT) can be used to view and record combat in real time to see player damage, healing, etc. ACT logs can then be uploaded to FFLogs to compare your performance with other players.

ACT/FFLogs Guide

Please note this software is technically against the FFXIV Terms of Service and should only be used for personal improvement. Mentioning ACT/Parsing in-game, particularly to harass other players, is likely to result in punishment against your Square Enix account.

[faint flare]

Only with this

[naive kraken]

low levels on dragoon kinda sucks in dungeons since they don't get decent AoE attacks until later

[civic dirge]

Oh not worth risking my account for that

[faint flare]

Everyone uses it

[boreal storm]

Just don’t mention it in game

And they won’t do anything to you

[naive kraken]

just dont use it and disparage people specifically because they are doing 5k less DPS than others

[boreal storm]

Yeah don’t be that guy

[naive kraken]

blur out their name and complain in #rants if you need to though XD

it upgrades at higher level under kassatsu?

😛

[twilit arch]

basically at higher levels, you generally aren't going to use fuma

[faint flare]

It doesn't

[naive kraken]

oh its just they upgrade the icon and give it different combo XD

that tells you how great of a ninja i am

[twilit arch]

fuma doesn't upgrade or change at all

[faint flare]

Hysho upgrades hyoton

[lost depot]

Has anyone ever run into this pop up?

[dire prawn]

Isn't the only time you ever use Fuma is Ten Chi Jin because it makes you?

[open coral]

No

Sometimes you use it when you need the range

[twilit arch]

no, ten chi jin would use fuma

[naive kraken]

try #technology-discussion or the FF14 forums

[twilit arch]

fuma > raiton > suiton is how'd it go for the opener and generally when you're using ten chi jin

[naive kraken]

or else delete and totally reinstall for the nuclear option

[twilit arch]

fuma is basically always the opener for ten chi jin, since its the only 1 mudra ninjutsu but there's no reason to use fuma outside of ten chi jin for the most part

[naive kraken]

the only time would be for extreme/savage/ultimate where you're in a ranged position essentially

for a mechanic. otherwise you can probably figure something out better

[lost depot]

thank you

[naive kraken]

even then it might be better to hold for a stronger action and use the dagger throw

[twilit arch]

unless you're outside of 15y, should be using raiton on ST

[sinful holly]

doesnt the Delubrum Reginae have a run cap? like i can only run it once a week?

[twilit arch]

no

[naive kraken]

only for the gold coin weekly quest

[twilit arch]

it never has

[naive kraken]

but that's the quest, not the run itself

kind of like clearing the crystal tower raids can get you something weekly

[sinful holly]

oh ok thank you.. just weighing the odds of doing PotD for the mats or the raid

[naive kraken]

if you take those weekly quests

[twilit arch]

potd is a low ish chance at lower floors

[naive kraken]

yeah isnt it like 150+ if you want best odds?

[twilit arch]

its not until well into the challenge floors that the drop rate is good

[sinful holly]

yea ive been running 51-60 lol time to do the raid

[dire prawn]

Are there any differences between PotD and HoH

Or are they functionally identical

[twilit arch]

functionally same, just some difference pomanders

noteable ones being the primal pomanders that can clear a non boss floor

or do a decent chunk of dmg to boss'

[dire prawn]

do these replace the pomanders of rage from PotD?

[boreal storm]

also HoH having half as many floors

[twilit arch]

yes basically

[toxic fiber]

how do i fix the boot error i tried everything

[sinful holly]

did you uninstall and reinstall?

[grave plover]

anyone knows when's the next brick by brick spawn at?

[boreal storm]

there's 3 possible places, just gotta wait

[trim sedge]

fastest way to unsync the limitless blue extreme? can it go below around 3:30 or is it always gonna b that slow

[dire prawn]

Always going to be that slow because of the way the fight is scripted

[leaden ginkgo]

?

[twilit arch]

a random dungeon that everyone in your party has unlocked

[lone totem]

well

that everyone has unlocked

and meets the minimum level requirement

[leaden ginkgo]

then why did we enter a lv 27 dungeon

[boreal storm]

It’s random

[lone totem]

so if you have unlocked all the ARR dungeons but you swap to a Level 15 job, you will only get Sastasha

[twilit arch]

because its random

[leaden ginkgo]

.............

[faint flare]

It's within 6 levels of the lowest and highest level person

That you meet the ilvl for

Your current gear is too low

[twilit arch]

only if you have the option on

[boreal storm]

Which you can’t do unless you’re in a pre-made party

[stiff fiber]

is there a timer/discord notification that can tell me when castrum is up?

[faint flare]

No

[amber kayak]

oh, i forgot that part

[faint flare]

Cause castrum spawn timer can be speed up

You can't track it anymore

[stiff fiber]

ah

[leaden ginkgo]

19 days until ew ?

[faint flare]

!expansion

[zinc orbit]

Tick, Tock, Kupo!

Time Until Endwalker:

18 days, 4 hours, 47 minutes, 27 seconds

[leaden ginkgo]

thats early.

access

[boreal storm]

Yes

[lone totem]

yes, that is early access

[twilit arch]

which is effectively release

[boreal storm]

Because that’s when the 6.0 update happens

[lone totem]

....

wow, it really is 6.0

[hard aurora]

tes

[twilit arch]

yes

[hard aurora]

yes

[lone totem]

damn I am old

[hard aurora]

wtf its in 18 days

[leaden ginkgo]

people who didn't buy it will get an update to download ?

[faint flare]

Everyone does

Cause it's a patch

[leaden ginkgo]

heavy.

[faint flare]

And changes to the Base game

[boreal storm]

Yeah, even trial players still had to update during ShB

[leaden ginkgo]

in general how many trials/raids etc do they release on expansion patch

[faint flare]

2 extremes

[boreal storm]

3 story trials

[twilit arch]

8 man raid is delay 2/4 weeks from launch

[faint flare]

Normal mode 2 weeks later

Savage another 2 weeks after that

[leaden ginkgo]

allaince raid ?

[faint flare]

That's 6.1

As standard

[leaden ginkgo]

dungeons.

[faint flare]

Alliance raids are always major odd patches

Stand amount of levelling dungeons

81,83,85,87,89

Then probably 3 90 dungeons for accessories

And to fill expert roulette

[leaden ginkgo]

^^ thanks

so allaince raid and ew relics start 6,1 ?

[deft quiver]

where can i see if my fc has a house, and if it does, where it is

[lone totem]

you should be able to /teleport to it

[boreal storm]

If it has a house, it’ll be the first warp on your teleport menu

[lone totem]

assuming they actually placed an aetheryte

[twilit arch]

relics are a bit debateable on which patch we'll get them

since both sb/shb were slightly delayed

[leaden ginkgo]

In what channel should I post something that I'm looking for and is not selleble at the MB?

[deft quiver]

ah ye i see it, thanks

[lone totem]

if it is not sellable on the market board, it most likely is untradable

what are you trying to get?

[leaden ginkgo]

Is not

IS tradable

[lone totem]

okay, what is it?

[leaden ginkgo]

Empty Cluster

[twilit arch]

there's not really a place here for in-game trades

[leaden ginkgo]

I need 8

[faint flare]

Probably airship/sub parts

[leaden ginkgo]

Yeap

Airship

Need 8 more for tier 3 buffs

can pay anything

[boreal storm]

It’s from voyages

[lone totem]

huh, they didn't add those to the mb yet?

[leaden ginkgo]

No is so stupid righ?

Some FCs have surplus of hundreds

[faint flare]

Then go ask them

[shrewd cradle]

the ones on the left are never coming back?

[faint flare]

Trade channels dont exist

[twilit arch]

correct

[faint flare]

No

[leaden ginkgo]

I did, only found a few

[twilit arch]

pagentry is not returning

[faint flare]

Old event currency NEVER comes back

[leaden ginkgo]

And the Mansion next to my house were super mean

[shrewd cradle]

lame

thanks

[boreal storm]

They specifically mentioned that pagentry will be worthless after that moogle tome event

[shrewd cradle]

yeah I remember, just wanted to be sure

[grave plover]

whats the spawn times for brick by brick

[faint flare]

15-20mins

[grave plover]

is that for all spawn locations

[leaden ginkgo]

its sooo Weird i havent seen a single person selling stuff in pf what happen

[boreal storm]

Read #lodestone-news-na

[faint flare]

Tos changes

[shrewd cradle]

a week ago or so

[leaden ginkgo]

lmao

[grave plover]

@faint flare is that for all locations

[leaden ginkgo]

good to know

[faint flare]

Yes

[wispy basalt]

so what is the next il cap

[honest anvil]

• 70 from 530 so 600

[wispy basalt]

600 as patch 6.0

[last mural]

It's still fine to post in PF saying you'll pay someone for a (non-rmt) service though apparently

[wispy basalt]

it will increase each patch (maybe)

[leaden ginkgo]

Is there any Halloween event in FFXIV?

[boreal storm]

All saints wake

[leaden ginkgo]

Where is that?

[boreal storm]

It’s happening next month

[leaden ginkgo]

Ok thanks

[last mural]

endwalker is coming in 20 days... but i feel like i'm not prepared

[wispy basalt]

19 *

[last mural]

still have alot of things to do. getting my first shb relic, completing omega/cob/alexander questlines, lvling as many classes to 80 as possible

[wispy basalt]

you dont need all of that

[last mural]

It's something i want to do before EW

[wispy basalt]

just take it easy

[last mural]

it's the goal i set

[wispy basalt]

its just a matter of time

[last mural]

Honestly my first setback is my ShB relic... That definitely needs to be completed before EW, and before Bozja/Zadnor becomes empty

but that 2nd one-time quest is... really killer

[wispy basalt]

bozja/zadnor will be flooded in ew

[boreal storm]

Lol empty bozja

[faint flare]

That doesn't matter

[last mural]

180 items...

[faint flare]

You can solo bojza

It's already solo proof

Except for delubrum

[wispy basalt]

im afraid of eureka

[boreal storm]

People are gonna level reaper

So many people

[last mural]

honestly i would've ignored reaper had there not been a melee role quest in EW

[wispy basalt]

bozja you can solo that content but eureka..

[faint flare]

It's rougher to solo eureka but doable

But slower

[honest anvil]

i solo-ed eureka

[wispy basalt]

u

[faint flare]

Once you hit pyros for actions you're good

Cause bloodbath is broken

[wispy basalt]

im in the hell stage rn

20*

[sharp forge]

The SHB regular trials are fine to queue up through df if no one is doing one in pf or should I create a party?

[pearl mesa]

Regular trials are fine to do through DF.

[wispy basalt]

you can q on DF

[sharp forge]

tyvm <3

[faint flare]

All normal mode stuff is easily DFable

[grave plover]

no spawn yet of brick...

does it spawn in all locations?

or just one

[boreal storm]

Just wait

[flint lance]

What level can I start making my shadow bringer relic weapon?

[faint flare]

80

[flint lance]

Sigh...

This will take forever

[boreal storm]

You also have to beat 5.1 to continue the process

[faint flare]

To upgrade it past the start

[flint lance]

I have its just that I have been levelling my white mage for the last few days spamming dung runs

Kinda getting tired now

Lvl 68 or something rn

Guess I have to keep doing it

[lethal ivy]

I feel your pain, I too had to spam level my WHM to 70 through dungeons and it took me roughly a week

[flint lance]

Having the earrings helps I guess

[naive kraken]

idk what the experience is but spamming fates and doing pvp with the fast queues now may be decent for a break from dungeons

[patent citrus]

what holster to use in Eureka as a WAR?

[obsidian patio]

as in essence?

or just a general action set-up?

[patent citrus]

ah yeah, sorry, that's what I mean

essence and action set-up

I just reached lv 50 and in pyros

doing the quest, what could I do differently after unlocking these logo actions?

[patent citrus]

can diversify it with hoh, and if you burned out better just take a break

[obsidian patio]

not much really, for tanks I generally go for Martialist and maybe Bloodbath or Catastrophe paired with tank immunity

[patent citrus]

ok nice, i'll do that ty

[patent citrus]

wait my action is gone after i left the instance? 👀

so Eureka is like DR

[obsidian patio]

yep

[fickle tree]

which of these is faster/least annoying?

[patent citrus]

ok ty ty, I'm wondering why I got 3 uses of martialist wisdom

so I thought it isn't the case

[obsidian patio]

Probably ARF or Ghimlyt depending on queue times

[fickle tree]

Ghimlyt is the one where you face the twins at the end?

[pearl mesa]

Yes.

[fickle tree]

I like that one

[pearl mesa]

I like it a lot (just got out of my third run today for Raw Emotion), but that's not universal.

[fickle tree]

is there a lot of difference between normal queue vs blue mage runs?

for Ghimlyt

[cunning raft]

heyo what do you guys recommend, wait endwalker to renew my membership or should i try to finish the other dlcs before it comes out?

[obsidian patio]

Blue Mages kill trash super fast due to Ram's Voice + Ultravibration, but bosses can sometimes take longer

tbh I usually recommend a regular tank with 3 BLUs so they take less damage

[fickle tree]

Depends if you really want to play right now. I would pick up the game whenever I have the time, just run through some main scenario quests or level some jobs you wanna try when the next expansion is released.

[willow sparrow]

does ultravibration combo with rams voice?

[obsidian patio]

yep

Ultravibration instant kills frozen targets

[willow sparrow]

oh, thought it was only petrify

[obsidian patio]

and Ram's Voice freezes

[fickle tree]

In my case, I'm playing right now, because I might not have enough time to play when Endwalker is released (mostly due to some projects I have to attend)

[willow sparrow]

does anyone know which blue colour the magus set uses if its avilable as dye?

[cunning raft]

thats fair ik ill be slammed with work and trying to bounce inbetween this and other releases so why not spend sometime while i can now

[mild mountain]

If i upgrade to full ver for a month but doesnt go beyond the free trial content, can i still play that free trial account?

[twilit arch]

no

once you upgrade tot he full game

you cant go back to the trial

[mild mountain]

So if i wanna play a new free trial account i need to create ffxiv account and a new steam account?

[boreal storm]

On steam yeah

[jade quartz]

You can just download the non-Steam client and make a new account for that

[stable tangle]

game is crashing on aesthician after confirming my new look, what should i do?

[flint lance]

This

[hard aurora]

verify files if youre on steam

[stable tangle]

im not on steam

[flint lance]

Directx crash?

[stable tangle]

how can i tell?

[flint lance]

It usually will pop with an error message

[stable tangle]

oh no popups

[flint lance]

Oh

Never had that issue before is your client just closing?

[stable tangle]

ye, the entire game closing

[flint lance]

Try running in compatibility mode

[floral flicker]

Is FFXIV on Xbox?

[flint lance]

When game client opens, go to task manager and get file location of client, right click it, properties and select run on windows 7/8 compatability

[flint lance]

No

[floral flicker]

Man

[patent citrus]

I see the wisdom is gone when you died

that's why I got 3 charges, lol

learned it the hward way

[kind tree]

what can I do with certain gear that I can't sell on the MB and can't use and can't desynth?

[flint lance]

Discard or keep for glam

Look it up on the Web and see what you can use it for as well

[fickle tree]

are chocobos best used for healing? (leveling BLU solo)

or casters in general

[boreal storm]

It helps

[patent citrus]

yeah

[fickle tree]

you can reset the skills later, right?

[boreal storm]

Yeah but don’t

[patent citrus]

yeah, but healer is the best tree

and you can get all the skills

you max that tree first

[boreal storm]

Just leave tank tree for last

[fickle tree]

is there a drawback?

[patent citrus]

then dps > tank

[fickle tree]

ok

[patent citrus]

healer > dps > tank

[fickle tree]

gotcha, thanks

[patent citrus]

first you use free stance, but if you still died, change to healer stance so he can focus on healing

[jade quartz]

Free stance is sufficient 99% of the time

[patent citrus]

yeah

[cursive ridge]

healer stance is for when you're trying to solo boss FATEs, especially if you're a DPS

[fickle tree]

does it still heal while on free stance?

[cursive ridge]

yes, but less frequently

[fickle tree]

what's the point then?

saving cooldowns?

[cursive ridge]

since it also spends GCDs on attack moves

[hushed zealot]

Weird question
What is something you can do in FFXIV... that is semi hands off

[cursive ridge]

in free stance it does some damage

[hushed zealot]

Like content wise "Semi AFK"

[leaden ginkgo]

msq roulette?

[cursive ridge]

retainer ventures?

[flint lance]

Fishing?

[patent citrus]

crafting usually

doh/dol

gold saucer

[fickle tree]

Gold Saucer

[patent citrus]

you can run dungeon with trust/squadron

[hushed zealot]

Fishing is the one angle i got so far

[patent citrus]

to level your alt if that's your thing

[stable tangle]

IT WORKED thank you!

[hushed zealot]

Like the key here is to do something where I can like, say
Write stuff as i do it :,D

[flint lance]

Np

[hushed zealot]

DoH and DoL isn't... quite AFK allowing for it

[fickle tree]

even raiders are semi afk, so whatever

see logs, some people are barely hitting buttons

game is hella friendly, you can play in chill mode almost anything

[hushed zealot]

mrrrh

Wouldn't quite agree but i see

[icy charm]

Can you place the recipe along with the macro in the macro so you don't have to open up your crafting log everytime?

[umbral dune]

No

Manually pressing synthesis then macro

[icy charm]

oh alright

[patent citrus]

crafting log doesn't close after you finished crafting

you just need to press synthesis button before doing the macro

[fickle tree]

yeah, I don't quite agree either, because I like focusing on tasks. However, I think by semi-afk they mean activities they can pause and resume by just standing up and leaving your desk. Thing about DoH and DoL is that they might end up wasting food (if they need the buffs/stats to craft)

[hushed zealot]

...I mean i was the one i asked, fyii

[leaden ginkgo]

Why hasn’t my world transfer been here. It’s been 8 days and I sent a support ticket thing

[flint lance]

??

[jade moat]

Quick question... How can I get quest armor sets for glamour reasons if I hadn't chosen them when I did the quest?

[jade quartz]

World transfers only take a few minutes. What steps exactly did you take and what's the problem?

[jade moat]

I'm doing "Causes and Costs" and all 4 sets look amazing that I can get, but only 1 can be chosen, as usual

[jade quartz]

ah

That gear can be bought in Idyllshire with poetics

Hellfire/Slipstream/Torrent etc. sets

[jade moat]

Those, yes

I thought only the 270 and the Alexander sets are there, I'll have to look then, thanks for the info! <3

[jade quartz]

it's under tomestones of poetics 1

[jade moat]

Thanks, kisses/hugs/highfives!

[boreal storm]

Not for stats

[leaden ginkgo]

Went to mog station, went through the process of blah blah blah, you can’t do this during world transfer and that. I even paid for it but I never got a email if it transferred. i never fully logged into my character only to see if it was transferred and it wasn’t . It couldn’t go on any other character because I only have 1

[boreal storm]

Yep, because glamour is the true endgame

[jade moat]

@leaden ginkgo I'm going for Bravura too, yet I'm in Heavensward endgame. Yes, most people do it for the looksies

[obsidian patio]

It's more that the ARR relic is weaker than the augmented ironworks weapon

You need to upgrade it the entire way for it to be a minor increase over the augmented ironworks

[boreal storm]

Also it’s really grindy

[obsidian patio]

400k gil at the extreme minimum

a lot of monster grinding/leves, fate farming, grinding instances, GC seals and crafted items, and a lot of materia

[patent citrus]

yeah, all relics are timesink, if it's past expansion don't get it unless you like the glamour

and it's easier to get it later when you reach max level

[fathom haven]

Could any super sleuths help me find the name of the song that plays in this video? Also if its available as an Orchestrion Roll? It brings me so much joy and I'd love to know. https://youtu.be/mwwt5RYSP-I?t=175
It starts at 2:50 incase the video's starttime didn't work 😮

[obsidian patio]

Pretty sure it doesn't have an orchestrion roll.

lemme double check the track name of it in the OST album

[warm yacht]

Just hit level 30 on WAR, what's my best choice for leveling?

POTD?

[obsidian patio]

dungeons

!faq altlvlguide

[zinc orbit]

Leveling Guide for alt jobs

https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/wiki/leveling

[jade moat]

Only 25 Dragonsong quests remain, yaaay

[warm yacht]

So potd is only really helpful early on then?

[obsidian patio]

yes, or for DPS

[normal oasis]

is this a typo? it's part 5 of ARR

[jade quartz]

no

[normal oasis]

oh, curse this olden english spelling and speaking

[jade quartz]

that's not olden english

it's not archaic

[normal oasis]

hm

[jade quartz]

dalliance = fancy word for a fling

[normal oasis]

[jade quartz]

or a rendezvous

or like a casual sorta interaction

[obsidian patio]

I couldn't find it on the OST album from my quick cursory listen through it, so I might've missed it

[twilit arch]

believe its victory or death

since that's the instrumental version of revolutions

which can be bought from the junkmonger in the enclave

[fallen niche]

Fates like "the big bagoly theory" spawn once every 15-20 minutes after being completed/failed right

[restive yarrow]

I can't find the "Bird in Hand" quest that unlocks chocobo raising even though according to the meeting I should meet all the requirements

[obsidian patio]

can be longer, depends on how many other fates in the zone are up

[patent citrus]

oh yeah it's victory or death, nice ost

there's an orchestrion roll for it

it has a wild arms and old RPG instruments vibe

[woeful hill]

does fey illumination increase the healing potency of whispering dawn?

[obsidian patio]

!faq healingup

[zinc orbit]

Healing Up Buffs

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)

[obsidian patio]

nope

Fey Illumination buffs GCD heals like Succor and Adloquium

[woeful hill]

oh ok, thanks for the awnser

[woeful hill]

so its means lustrate dosen't get the buff right? since its a oGCD

[obsidian patio]

correct

[woeful hill]

alright thank you

wanted to nake sure before i do dumb decision

[jade quartz]

The game tooltips don’t really teach you what means what so this faq is helpful

[woeful hill]

yee but he posted it already if you scroll up a bit lmao

[patent citrus]

based on my understanding, I can just ignore the aether crystal upgrade in pyros and can straight upgrade it to Eureka weapo right?

[obsidian patio]

if you mean the kettle crystals, yes

they're only for rolling stats on the weapon

[patent citrus]

ok ty ty, I thought it's like Pagos

[obsidian patio]

you might need to do like one roll to continue the relic? Can't remember for sure.

but that's only 2 crystals if so

[patent citrus]

champion lance is dropped from lv 50 dungeons from one of the chest

[hot eagle]

craft and meld it or buy it from mrketboard

[twilit arch]

champion lance is not a drop

[patent citrus]

oh sorry, yeah the ingredients is

bloody lance head

[twilit arch]

its a crafted item, so either make it yourself/ask someone to or buy from the marketboard

[patent citrus]

that's the ARR quest, I remember since NIN has different materials from DRG

[leaden ginkgo]

do all beast tribe's give the same exp

[obsidian patio]

they're each for a different leveling range

ARR tribes are for 40-ish to 50, with Ixal being for 1-50 crafters
HW tribes are for 50-60
SB are for 60-70
SHB are for 70-80

[leaden ginkgo]

thanks ^^

[mild mountain]

Is there any list of important side quest dungeon that i need to priotize?

[patent citrus]

side quest = blue quest?

just optional leveling dungeon probably

!faq altlvlguide

[zinc orbit]

Leveling Guide for alt jobs

https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/wiki/leveling

[patent citrus]

but all blue quests are kinda important

[minor fulcrum]

Do all blues

Even if they seem pointless like giving gate access it's a perma unlock

[cursive ridge]

you can skip some of them, like level 60 and 70 cap dungeons

[craggy tinsel]

(unless they're a levequest you don't want to do)

(because I think those are repeatable, correct me if I'm wrong)

[cursive ridge]

nah the blue unlock levequest quests are single time

[craggy tinsel]

oh they are, okay noted

[minor fulcrum]

Levequests are single and pretty helpful for doh and dol

[craggy tinsel]

I knew they were helpful for those, I didn't realize that quests like "Levequests of [location]" were one-time, I figured they were repeated

[cursive ridge]

i've leveled doh and dol by just doing job quests and occasionally rarely doing GC deliveries

[minor fulcrum]

I leveled all 3 dol to 80 in 4 days

[cursive ridge]

i've been leveling them for 800 hours and they're still not all at 80 :>

[craggy tinsel]

I only ever did any levequests in Kugane and the Crystarium, the rest was Firmament

[minor fulcrum]

Lmfao

[ripe hound]

How do you level DoL?

Just gather random stuff?

[minor fulcrum]

You do leves

[cursive ridge]

it's a joke, most of that time was not spent on doh/dol

[craggy tinsel]

Diadem is the best way to do it probably

[twilit arch]

not really

[cursive ridge]

diadem is not the fastest but is the most braindead way

[minor fulcrum]

I did basic class stuff til 20, diadem to 60, then leves til crystarium

[twilit arch]

diadem is good if you're double dipping, gathering mats to level crafters

[cursive ridge]

you just click on shiny while watching a movie on second monitor

[twilit arch]

but for exp leves/collectables are much better

[craggy tinsel]

if you're being impatient and wanting to level a gatherer, you're leveling the wrong job

Diadem isn't that much slower overall

[cursive ridge]

i've never had to intentionally level up DoL, they've passively kept up their level by me just getting stuff for DoH quests and stuff

[minor fulcrum]

Diadem is very slow if you dont have manuals

[twilit arch]

diadem's exp gain isn't that good compared to leves/collectables

because you're just getting exp from the gather

[minor fulcrum]

Leves give next to nothing for the gathering act, just the completion

[twilit arch]

whereas leves/collectables you're getting exp from gathering plus the turn in of the leves/collectable

[minor fulcrum]

No

[twilit arch]

and the exp from the turn ins is much better than the gathering exp itself

[minor fulcrum]

It says ampamdor keep

[twilit arch]

!quest one night in amdapor

[minor fulcrum]

Ah

[ripe hound]

Yeah

Granted I did one too

[minor fulcrum]

All things you run once and never again until you want to bash your head against the wall cause it's your roulette

[ripe hound]

Strongly recommended

[craggy tinsel]

don't delay MSQ for an outdated relic

[cursive ridge]

@leaden ginkgo if you ever have another question like that, you can just search the name of the dungeon on the wiki https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Amdapor_Keep
and look in the Req. quest row in the infobox

[boreal storm]

It’s also a lot easier to do relics at max level

[lyric prairie]

Is it more worth to keep selling ruby red dye for easy money or to just sell the broom emote? Technically broom emote is more bang for your buck but potentially causes the sales tax to cut into profits too much for it to be worth?

[obsidian patio]

check the demand of both items and see which one sells more often

and compare the relative price of them in terms of scrip cost

[patent citrus]

in ARR, it was his body double

[twilit arch]

all but 3 characters have their voices change with heavensward, for the english cast

they changed VA studios

[patent citrus]

HW Alphi is the real one

[grim sable]

i cant see other player's minions when theres too many players around, any idea why it may be?

other players can see my minion just fine

[patent citrus]

switch to maximum

instead of minimum

[grim sable]

ty

[leaden ginkgo]

is bozja worth getting into this late in the expansion or should i just pass on relic, wasnt able to get any mettle outside the first 2 quests kept failing critical engagemnts

[minor fulcrum]

Bozja is still the fastest leveling from 71-80

I would at a bare minimum finish bozja story and buy the riding map

[leaden ginkgo]

just didnt seem to be a lot of people and i dont have a clue as to what im doing there just getting gobsamcked by the critical engagemtns

no one bozja seemed to want to give any guidance as to what i need to do as a first timer there

[minor fulcrum]

Basically join fates, join ces

[honest egret]

22 mins in alpha scape v3

[minor fulcrum]

Your main goal is to gain mettle and rank up

[leaden ginkgo]

i mean when the 3 i joined all failed im not seeing the point

[minor fulcrum]

Dont be afraid to ask in chat for a group

Failed as in the entire lobby failed the CE?

[leaden ginkgo]

yeah we had maybe 10 people in each ce that popped and you just cant do that when you get 1 shot by everything

[patent citrus]

Bozjan suppose to be popular

[minor fulcrum]

Mm...then the instance may be dead due to CLL

[patent citrus]

are you playing during peak time?

[minor fulcrum]

Basic rule od thumb when queueing for CEs is to look if the amount of people is at least over 20

[patent citrus]

type /sea if you notice not many people currently in the instance, leave and re-enter

ask for party everytime you enter CE

[leaden ginkgo]

i mainly want to try and get relic but i think its not enough time before ew

[sturdy brook]

Question. If I boost a class, do I loose the ability to see the job quests completely? I can't replay them or rewatch them?

[twilit arch]

you can replay them with ng+

[tropic flame]

if you want the relic for glam reasons, then you have all the time in the world

its not going away or anything

[minor fulcrum]

Well, getting to recollection will be difficult as nobody will be doing CLL

[sturdy brook]

Is it a full replay or just watching a cutscene?

[minor fulcrum]

Bozja will turn into leveling simulator hardcore mode come endwalker

[leaden ginkgo]

i figured as much becuase it will die off after expansion

[tropic flame]

people will still do it

[jade moat]

What would you lovely lot say, how long does "The Final Steps of Faith" trial take on average?

[tropic flame]

just maybe not as actively

[minor fulcrum]

It'll be active

Just not cll

[twilit arch]

you go thru the quests as they are, just no rewards

[craggy tinsel]

How do I know what minions can sit on my shoulder?

[boreal storm]

Someone’s made a list of them

[obsidian patio]

in terms of the duty itself, probably like 5-8 minutes depending on how geared everyone is

assuming no wipes

[sturdy brook]

Thanks

[patent citrus]

I think heart of darkness also sit on your shoulder

on your head if you are popoto

[boreal storm]

Puff of darkness

[jade quartz]

all shoulder minions sit on the head if you're a Lala

[minor fulcrum]

Nanamo minion, puff, tiny version dragon

[boreal storm]

Wind up Succubus

[boreal storm]

Most you can /beckon, others just do it on their own

[covert marlin]

must I mine everything from a node before moving on to find treasure map?

[obsidian patio]

nope

you can just open the window up and exit

[covert marlin]

I can open back the same node?

[obsidian patio]

you still need to cycle through the nodes to refresh them

[covert marlin]

oh so I click through all the nodes

and it should refresh?

[obsidian patio]

yep

[minor fulcrum]

If you dont get a map usually just mine the crystals

[obsidian patio]

walk to 1 > open/close window > walk to 2 > repeat for all the nodes in that area/level

[jade quartz]

Opo-opo, Bluebird/Doman Magpie/Road Sparrow, Gaelikitten and variations, Lesser Panda, Nutkin, Tight-lipped parrot, Hunting hawk, Scarlet peacock, White whittret, Bacon bits, Succubus/Puff of Darkness, Morpho, Middy, Owlet, Nanamo, Windup Dragonet, Koala

and more

[covert marlin]

oh you can do 1->2->1->2? don't need go through all nodes in the area?

oh haha okayy

[craggy tinsel]

dang, quite a few, nice

[covert marlin]

ye that's what I'm doing currently, takes a bit of time

[jade quartz]

You have to access two other nodes to reset a node I think

so it would have to be 1>2>3 if you wanted to do a loop of the same three

[covert marlin]

alright thank you!

[boreal storm]

The koala immediately latches onto you after being brought out, for obvious reasons

[patent citrus]

these drop bears

[covert marlin]

does the penguin minion have special action?

[jade quartz]

no but Shalloweye sits on shoulder

the other verminion achievement minion

Penguin minion is goated though

[covert marlin]

but no shoulder sitting :(

[wispy shell]

Are job boosts per character?

[jade quartz]

yeah

[wispy shell]

So if you wanted it on an alt you gotta buy again?

[jade quartz]

yep

[patent citrus]

https://youtu.be/MHJaw4Yznc0?t=22 @covert marlin

[jade moat]

Am I stupid, or "The Final Steps of Faith" had like 14 minutes of cinematics before unlocking?

[boreal storm]

It’s a pretty big part of the story so...

[covert marlin]

omggg thank youu

[jade moat]

Yeah, I know/guessed so, but aren't the many/big cinematics usually afterwards?

[jade quartz]

both

[patent citrus]

if you got a warning beforehand

[jade moat]

@jade quartz Touché

[patent citrus]

"there will be continuous cinematic, please prepare enough time, bla bla"

it usually like that long

msq roulette will also give you cinematic that long

[jade moat]

@patent citrus Yeah, I was really suprised when I finished ARR and it was like 50-65 minutes of cinematics. I was prepared for like 30-35 at most, haha

[boreal storm]

That one’s the exception and not the rule

[limber hound]

"Upon [certain trigger], several cutscenes will play in sequence."

[jade quartz]

none of the other big chunks are ever quite as long as the end of ARR

usually like 30mins

[limber hound]

That's the fair warning

Every time you see it, strap in

[jade quartz]

MGS4 moment

[jade moat]

I see. Well, now I feel much more prepared for finishing expansions/patch cycles. Gotta run to work though, kisses loves! <3

is this the only place to trade these items from alexander? all the items i can get are all lower gear score and weaker than what i have equipped

[warped nest]

Yes

[native skiff]

damn

what should i do with them then?

[warped nest]

If you are running with augmented shire

[native skiff]

i am

[warped nest]

Then only the last four savage Alexander raid will drop items matching augmented shire ilvl

[patent citrus]

you can desynthesis or hand them in to gc

they give pretty nice seals

[warped nest]

The others are obsolete in terms of stats

What vielen said

[native skiff]

ya guess ill give it to gc

[warped nest]

Alternatively, you can pick gears for fashion

That's about it

[native skiff]

cool thanks guys

[boreal storm]

The Savage versions are dyeable

[last mural]

Alexander gear are basically outdated, since they were made for lv 60 cap. Only reason to get them is purely for glamour purposes, or if u're Free Trial user and want to use something besides augmented shire gear

[mortal forge]

Hello i just got Allagan tomestones of poetry for the first time. It says on the currency section that the allagan tomestones will "redet in 24h 33m".

Does that mean that after that time passes, the ones I have will be gone?

[obsidian patio]

No. that timer is for Tomestones of Revelation and marks how long you need to wait before you can get another 900

since you can only earn a max of 900 revelation tomestones every week

[mortal forge]

oh ok, thank you!

[obsidian patio]

(normally it's 450, but it gets doubled near the end of an expansion to help with preparing for the next expansion)

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-oyvpOjxZ0A&ab_channel=ChloeWolves how do I get this yelling to stop? I tried reloading, logging out, teleporting away and teleporting back and nothing..

[jade quartz]

continue the MSQ

it's there because of your current point in the story

[vestal needle]

Reformat my comp. Have no idea how to download the game again

[Role Quest ShB lvl 79/80 spoiler] ||Can I finish the other role quests until after ShB main? There's no detriment to doing them later?||

[obsidian patio]

you miss out on some dialogue options/choices near patch 5.3 MSQ, AKA after Anamnesis Anyder

[cedar dune]

ahhh ok so I'll do them before 5.3 to be safe. Thanks!

Technically the final quest of 5.2 is also affected by your role quests

If u see a quest titled ||Echoes of a Fallen Star||, that's the one your role quests affects

Oohh ic ic ok thanks for the info! :)

[craggy tinsel]

What's shorter, ||Ala Mhigo|| or ||The Ghimlyt Dark||? I want to get moogle tomestones but also get enough xp to push me over to 71, I think one more run of either would do it but idk which is shorter

[spice pulsar]

Hello. Newbie here. I’ve picked up a few Orchestrion Rolls in my travels. Are these used for anything or safe to discard?

[obsidian patio]

Probably Ghimlyt due to not having a lower item level sync

[last mural]

lv 50/60/70/80 dungeons typically give shit xp though. You're better off running a non-level cap dungeon to lvl up, then spam T2 (as even without BLUs, it's still one of the most efficient ways of farming tomestones)

[boreal storm]

Use non-faded rolls immediately

[craggy tinsel]

oh, so running Abania might've been better then

also the priority was never the tomestones, it's just a nice plus

[last mural]

Yeah, running the lv 69 Abania gives more xp than lv 70 dungeons

[digital lake]

Huh, did not know this. Would it be better to spam Abania to get Reaper and sage out of 70 when endwalker releases then?

[modest igloo]

as a last resort yeah

[last mural]

Uh... u probably won't have to?

Just keep your daily roulettes for when the jobs are about to be released

[modest igloo]

but there's other options that can get you there faster

beast tribes and WT, pvp and leveling roulette

[last mural]

i'd say a MSQ roulette and a few other dailies will get your reaper/sage to lv 71

[craggy tinsel]

huh, noted - thanks!

[digital lake]

Yeah ig, still nice to keep in mind

[obsidian patio]

you can stockpile the wondrous tail book on the week 6.0 early access starts

that's 50% of a level in experience

and you can set-up the challenge log for experience from that

both of those might be enough to immediately go to 71 for SHB dungeons/bozja

[last mural]

That's a good idea

basically next week's (from the 9th) wonderous tails don't submit, fulfill the requirements, than submit when the new classes comes out

A little nervous about the week after's wonderous tails not having enough 2nd chance to reset for 3 lines, but if exp is the priority, then it doesn't matter

[obsidian patio]

(next week as in the 9th)

[limber hound]

I didn't know you can have more than one copy of tails at a time

I thought it was similar to maps

[obsidian patio]

you can't, but a book lasts for 2 weeks

so you can grab the book from the november 9th weekly reset, complete it but NOT turn in, wait for the 19th and use on RPR/SGE, and then grab the book for that week.

[limber hound]

I see

[last mural]

Basically u can keep next week (9th Nov) book completed, but unsubmitted. When the week after (16th Nov) comes around, Wonderous tails will have reset, but u can submit the 9th Nov's book on the 19th when new classes comes out, then collect 16th Nov's book

[leaden ginkgo]

There any kind of up to date beginner guides for FC airships/subs? Like where to go mission wise first to unlock items for upgrades and locations to unlock more ships?

[cursive ridge]

while we're on the topic, are airships/subs something that can be done solo? I know you would have to create a FC and get a house for that FC, which is already a super big task, but can you actually do the things solo? also would you want to? what do they give?

[last mural]

I think the only thing i remember i want from it are Dusk Leathers

but honestly i'd just buy them from MB

[leaden ginkgo]

I just made an airship and my sub is almost done so yeah. Just takes a bit. @cursive ridge

[craggy tinsel]

It can be done with one person, yes

[obsidian patio]

http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/245872-Airship-Guide

This is what I use for all my Airship info

[cursive ridge]

so if i'm playing mostly solo, should i create a FC for myself on the off chance if i'm getting a house (lol) i assign it to my FC and not myself?

[obsidian patio]

And this one for submarines http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/357591-Submersible-Information-Thread

[native belfry]

I am in a need of 400 poetics XD

Is there any way

Without roulette

Because I've already done it

[obsidian patio]

https://discord.gg/kUWXPrT this discord has a ton of general info too. (Includes airships)

[cursive ridge]

prae/meridianum give 200 per run

[icy charm]

Do you need 2 Zodiac weapons to skip the first Anima weapon part?

[native belfry]

They do? Can I choose or

[cursive ridge]

you can queue for them

[leaden ginkgo]

Oh god, the fact there's a reddit for subs makes me think this is gonna be a pain.

[obsidian patio]

no. one zodiac per anima

[icy charm]

oh neat! thanks

[obsidian patio]

it's a discord, not a subreddit.

[native belfry]

Wait, do I queue for Main Scenario or for them as dungeons

[cursive ridge]

it's a permanent reward of 200 per completion, plus if there's a newbie in your group you get 100 extra

[native belfry]

Mhm, I see, I suppose I cannot skip, right-

[obsidian patio]

I do NOT suggest getting a zodiac purely for skipping the first step, if that's what you're thinking of. You waste more time and resources than what you save.

[cursive ridge]

no

[native belfry]

Alright, but 200 per Castrum is really good

And 100 if I'm lucky

Thanks

[icy charm]

Oh, no, I already have 1. I was looking up the walkthrough text of anima quests and I wasn't sure if I was misreading the first part.

[obsidian patio]

👌

[leaden ginkgo]

@obsidian patio I'm guessing the big play is to explore the areas that unlock the new ships, and worry about getting parts for upgrades along the way? Will you usually get the research parts as you push for unlocks?

[obsidian patio]

I mainly focused on unlocking sectors first, and then backtrack as needed for materials/prototypes

getting better ship parts make getting items easier/faster

[leaden ginkgo]

@obsidian patio How long of a process is it to get everything unlocked? Month? Few months?

[obsidian patio]

definitely months if you want to unlock everything

the trips take a day at the minimum

and get longer as you add more sectors to visit

[leaden ginkgo]

Alright that's no worries, just wanted to set my expectations for it lol, do you find the aetherial wheel thing worth it? Buffs don't seem that great

[obsidian patio]

getting the materials to make all the ship parts is also a grind in itself

[cursive ridge]

so what do you actually get from those

[obsidian patio]

grade 3 wheels are nice, but a bit annoying to stockpile

[cursive ridge]

that you cannot get otherwise

[obsidian patio]

a bunch of different minions/furniture, for the most part

[leaden ginkgo]

Fancy house buildings

[obsidian patio]

a couple orchestrion rolls, a few glamour materials

And some of the submarine sectors have items that sell for a lot of direct gil

so it can be a direct gil generator with the right build/sector choice

[leaden ginkgo]

I feel like it's one of those things that might not be important now but if they ever touch up on it in the future people who didn't bother will probably be kicking themselves with how long of a build up it is

[cursive ridge]

if they touch it up, there will deffo be a catch-up

[leaden ginkgo]

Feel like a majority of people don't even bother lol

[cursive ridge]

or it will be different progression

[river oasis]

is there a payment delay if you buy the pre order with pay pal?

[leaden ginkgo]

To be fair though it use to be harder I think? You needed 4 crafters so it put a lot of people off and I don't think most people ever really paid attention when that got lifted

[obsidian patio]

the people who focused on the content definitely noticed

it was very annoying to have to recruit people or have people in my FC sit in the work area while I fed materials to make a bunch of aetherial wheels

!item extravagant Salvaged Necklace

**Extravagant Salvaged Necklace** **:** Miscellany : ilvl 1

Powered by XIVAPI

[obsidian patio]

this vendor sells for 34k

varies from 9k-34k depending on the exact item

[leaden ginkgo]

Did you upgrade your stuff as you could or only really when you could build a new ship?

[cursive ridge]

i've heard that if you preorder from square they dont charge you until the game is out, or something of that nature, might apply to you?

i definitely had to pay for it on steam

[obsidian patio]

For Airships I basically directly upgraded pieces as I was able to with the higher sets

Submarine parts are more sidegrades than direct upgrades for the most part, so you have to pay more attention to what stats you want more/less of

But in the end I do suggest looking at BiS builds for both types to get the most out of them

[river oasis]

o that the case huh?

[obsidian patio]

and to reduce needing to make excess/unused parts

[river oasis]

i thought i was commiting a crime or something

[native belfry]

Once I get Scalepowder for the second relic, where do I exchange it for an actual weapon?

[modest igloo]

same place you got the first relic

[leaden ginkgo]

Doesn't seem worth it to feed in HQ parts for a chance to make the next step cost less resources, feels like you can gather and auto the mats faster than you can HQ them lol

[native belfry]

Zlatan? I don't remember

[modest igloo]

ye

[native belfry]

[obsidian patio]

pretty much my thoughts, yeah

though it can be helpful for the steps of the recipes that use materials exclusively from the voyages

unless you're fine with buying those from the MB or have a lot of them

[leaden ginkgo]

yeah maybe the higher stuff but these first few ranks of ships probably aren't worth it, think i've tired to HQ every 2nd stage and only like twice got the really good procs, the one outstanding one that does 2 hand ins of mats was nice but

even if it's only 2 buttons to make HQ stuff it still makes it feel bad lol

[leaden ginkgo]

appreciate the help and advice, thank you

[obsidian patio]

[leaden granite]

bit of a silly question, but do tanks generally not use mana a lot? i just had a lvl 74 dungeon playing SCH (still new to it) and i was struggling rlly RLLY hard to keep my tank alive. i was basically running oom and going threw my ogcd heals on CD non stop, while the tank was at full mana all the time

is that how it goes or is that an indicator that he didnt play well?

[regal pawn]

Warrior and Gunbreaker don't have mana using skills

[leaden granite]

dont wanna find blame, just curios

[narrow jay]

Depends on the tank.

[regal pawn]

Paladin only uses them for Holy Spirit/Circle

Dark Knight uses it constantly for attacks

Not all jobs use mana fyi

despite having it

[leaden granite]

yea he was gunbreaker

[regal pawn]

yeah, no mana skills

[leaden granite]

ah okay

[narrow jay]

Every class has a mana bar. Not every class uses it.

[leaden granite]

i see

[regal pawn]

That's what I said

[hasty musk]

thank you for removing tp SE

[leaden ginkgo]

Tanking is mostly gear and defensive usage, there's a chance your tank had SB gear or something kinda bad at that level

[regal pawn]

yeah

I'm assuming this was Dohn Mehg

[narrow jay]

Also you'll get better as you go along.

[regal pawn]

And if they didn't interrupt the little fish guy's cast

Yikes

[narrow jay]

oh yep

[regal pawn]

If they didn't use mitigations for the big pulls

yikes

[narrow jay]

The first pull of Dohn Mheg, and the last pull a bit, can get fairly spicy.

[leaden granite]

it was dohn mheg, maybe thats a rippy dungeon for tanks?

[regal pawn]

a bit

[narrow jay]

It just requires some brain power.
