is there a faq entry on leveling from L61-L80?
!faq altlvlguide
should cover it
okay, so how do i start HOH from 21F?
Get to 20
Completing level 20 unlocks the option to start at 21 when starting a new HoH save
Do 
okay, thanks
Is there a Reddit or other resource to look for a FC?
!faq communityfinder
are vieras getting 2bs hair style
yes
and a couple others
new hairstyles are added semi regularly
they just specifically talked about viera because they can't use any of the unlockable hairstyles right now
oh
i can just use them all right? there's nothing that require those later?
The only purpose for them is to appraise into actions
thanks
And sell them
Anyone who can say something about the G600 logitech mouse
How has it been going for ya?
I don't use it much, but I know how it works, I used to own a Logitech G300 that lasted for 6+ years
I see a lot of people recommending it as well
what I mean is Logitech is pretty reliable, but maybe my anecdotal experience
Meh idk, I just need a new one. My current one is a logitech, but I kid you not, it came packaged with a windows XP PC back in 2005
It has been with with me all this time and worked flawlessly until last week it started to get issues
get it 👀 It's a QOL if you play MMO
Just kinda scared on transitioning to a gaming mouse. It costs so much and I'm scared it would feel like shit to me
mouse and keyboard in general is so weird to me lol
yeh, gamepad or mmo mouse
Generally I prefer controller, but with an MMO that's a no go
you can choose
I've been playing XIV for 400 hours with this mouse lol
controller is fine
Did you know you can actually click on your actions
ye
yeah I use controller as well, hence why I said "I don't use it much" 😂
the stuff you can get with the antique drops you get anyway at lvl 50 now correct?
yeah its the same as the lvl 50 job gear
I've finished Stormblood just by clicking on actions. It worked fine for me lol
ok
How much were the 2.x quests cut down? I’m nearly there in the MSQ and I’m struggling to motivate myself to keep going.
100 quests at first, 20 were cut
80 quests total in Post ARR afaik
2.x is kinda dope though.
Post ARR is good 😦
i had fun
can confirm ^ 
Post ARR tasty
what does the max number mean https://i.imgur.com/MVO5GNH.png
6 what
Points
Skill speed
ah ok
Say you have 100 skill speed. You would gain 6 points instead of the 8%
Basically how they make CUL useful otherwise lvl 1 food would be raid food
is it better to get +ch or +dh
What job are you
my main jobs rn are pld, drg, sch
drg wants crit > dh >det, not sure about the rest
prob dh for healers
You can’t direct hit heals
What level are you
if I want to spirit bond my eq, i should make HQ eq that is 10 lvl lower than the mob of the Dungeon i want to farm right?
CRIT, i meant crit
Basically everyone uses Smoked chicken
Which is crit/det
Unless you need extra speed
No. 10 item levels lower than Item level of the dungeon
oh i see
Is the Duty Finder Alliance Raids always level 50 or do I need to unlock the higher levels somehow?
so if the dungeon drop ilvl 49 then i should get 39 huh
Blue quests to unlock Alliance Raids for every expansion.
Ok thanks
That’s the minimum level to do that roulette, it’ll always be 50
You can play on the other platform
etc
you won't be able to log in on ps4 if you're in endwalker zones
But you won't log in if you're in a expansion level area you don't own
you would need to move your character to a non endwalker zone to log in
Just putting this out there, i39 gear in Aurum Vale will probably kill you
you'll be fine
entirely dependent on how much you pull and if your healer is awake
the only thing the expansion check does is allow you to go into expansion zones and level
so any items you've obtained, gear you've obtained, quests you have active or have completed, stay that way
Is this a scam mail?
No
no, read it
They don't charge for preorders until closer to releaae
Aka that date in the mail
Unless you hit Debit now, you actually haven't paid for endwalker yet

Hey ive a question avout mechanistic
Been using it for so l9ng
But only just notived attacks in hupercharge. Heatblast restores ten seconds off ricochet and guass rounds
It doesnt say anywhere that it does
How am i supoosed to use it
!action Heat Blast
Delivers an attack with a potency of 220.
Additional Effect: Reduces the recast time of both Gauss Round and Ricochet by 15s
Can only be executed when firearm is Overheated.
Recast timer cannot be affected by status effects or gear attributes.
It does
So you can’t unsync any dungeons for SHB?
Ah.. nvm
Use a gauss/ricochet between heat blasts
correct
You can't unsync any current expansion content
Wildfire spam guass and rickhochet. Heatblast spam and then back to spamming gauss and richochet till widlfire pops?
You weave gauss or richohet
which food is this
Between each heatblast
Drag it on top of the other buttons
You CAN unsync the levelling dungeons afaik
oh smoked chicken is cul endgame
that should work
on top of general
Ohhh thank you
X
i drag on the + icon
Nope
Really
Undersized parties aren’t allowed in them either
you can't unsync any shb content
Once endwalker hits you can unsync shadowbringers but not unsync endwalker stuff
Current expansion content can never be unsynced
So then basically any dungeons I use party finder for we have to pretty much just run it synced?
For SHB*
where do i find food appropriate for my level?
Unless ur raiding u dont need to think about the stats, u eat food for the exp bonus
ok
Consume Egg
If you’re buying for stats go on the market board. But you really don’t need to unless you’re raiding
Egg

just buy eggs for the exp bonus.
Mineral water gang
i bought different foods for gathering, melee, tanking, healing 😂
Should I be lvl 42 or 43 to powerlevel with reflect in Pyros?
there are applicable targets for all the level ranges in Pyros
at your level you can do the volcano ones, top left of the map
Thank you.
Hello all, I am the 1,999,999,999 person to say/ask this:
Point me into the noob corner, please! I have questions!
Immediate Questions:
I just hit download on this game for the PS5.
- Will I also be able to play this on my PS4, then go back to PS5 and so on?
- Is it too late to start? This seems like it's been out forever, I was waiting on the 'next' ff online game, but seems they are just updating this one. Will PS5 spark that change?
- I played Neverwinter for years, I enjoyed everything but healing. Left NW as a Tank, tank seemed most enjoyable to me. Is Tank a bad starting character?
- Even as a NW player I would tell people to play what you want (if you were just starting NW), because the differences were minimal, but are there actually better classes to pick? Tank and DPS
- Anything I should know/read/learn before I actually create my first character, or will it be inevitable that I create a new one after a month of playing because I messed it up.
nothing you choose in the character creation screen will affect your character power
Sometimes those are really the best tbh
but seriously, your starting job doesn't matter
technically all races have different stats but it's like 1-3 stat difference when you have 3000
!faq meta
You won’t need to create a new character because one character has access to all the jobs/skills in the game
Is HQ rate of mining retainers dependent on their gathering gear value? Meaning, after I reach a gathering value necessary for level 80 gathering on retainers, is there any use in upgrading gear even further?
!faq retainerbp
I think my biggest question was switching between PS4 and PS5, cause I let my kids play on PS5 while they are awake. I figured it was all online so didn't matter.
Yes you’ll be able to play on both
Thank you
I'm trying to level up a bunch of DPS classes but I'm having trouble liking dragoon. I really loved 60 dragoon but now I'm not a fan of it and I really wish I was, is there something I'm missing?
the PS3/PS4/PS5 clients have been kinda regulated into just a generic "PlayStation" registration, so if you purchase the game on PS3-PS5, you can play them on PS3-PS5
though, of course, the PS3 version has been discontinued so you will be asked to upgrade
haha
but if you did at some point buy it, you can get the PS4 version
He said PS4/PS5 so he should be good
I've not purchased anything, gonna give the free trial to 60 a spin
for no additional charge as far as I am aware now
ah... free trial might be a little bit different
And ps4 to ps5 upgrade is free
I'm not entirely sure actually
if you're on free trial you might not be able to login on other clients
I have never tried
I mean there should be nothing stopping you
guess i will know soon enough, it's downloading now on PS5.
The free trial will lock you into one client
Or rather, one platform.
"PlayStation" might be generic enough to count as a single platform
It might work between PlayStations
ye
I will figure it out tonight i guess.
i say try doing it on a platform u feel comfortable with just incase
Got a question, square enix sent me an email that they'd charge me for the expansion on the 7th of nov, has that been postponed along with the expansion itself?
I can't find any article about it
if they didn't charge you, they will probably charge you in two weeks from that date instead
so the 21st
Aww, thats what I thought too
well i will have 100% uptime on ps4, but I am a nice parent, and let my kids play ps5 more than I do... even though it's technically mine.
even if the PS5 version isn't letting you login, you can always just use the PS4 version on the PS5
so i may go ps4 route if i have to choose 1
another earlier had a e-mail with the 15th november as date and infos about the release delay
I thought about that
ooo see, my email didn't have infos about the release day
hey yall i have a question
what happens to the items im selling on my retainers after my sub runs out?
do they stop selling or not
ill try to find the person who wrote it
Found it, thanks a lot guy. Was just curious about the date
guys*
They remain selling for 7 days since last you interacted with them
As usual
So alte roite (the mount) drops from Deltascape 4.0 Savage right? Whats the drop right like, is it like the horses/birds/dogs?
Guaranteed
Savage raid mounts are guaranteed
Savage mounts are guaranteed per run
ooh i see, tysm
ahh cool
this is only an issue when a raid tier is current
does it work unsynched?
Yes
since the chest drops are dependent on how many people have cleared this week
4-7 without clears = one chest
full party without clear = 2
and iirc the mount drops in the second chest
It's 50/50 which chest that spawns in 1 chest runs
wow, that sounds like a pain
do i need to do the hv msq to do my lvl 60 job quest?
yes
Typically Job Quests are contained within their expansions separately. If you have not reached the next expansion in
, you need to continue the main story quests until you reach the next expansion, denoted by giant letters naming said expansion.
i need to go to falcon nest but the path is closed
Yea just continue msq, it will get you there
from heavensward onwards all territories are locked behind progression
how did you do your Level 52 job quest?
He probably means 50-60
if you never went to the Coerthas Western Highlands?
or is 60
some jobs dont go there until later
i didn't need to go there until now
iirc whm takes a bit until u go to dravania
50 to 58 were in previous maps
what job are you playing?
depends on the job
how many leve allowances do i get in a day?
6
you get 3 every 12 hours
3 every 12 hours
summoner and scholar
ye they stay in eorzea for a while
sadge, no lord creator off coffee biscuits for me then
why is everything tied to the msq :(
cus its a story game
Because Final fantasy game first, mmo second
Because this game is Final Fantasy first, mmo second
u go to places cus the story wants u there
There is a promotion for story skips if you really want to avoid it all, but it's not recommended
the job quests generally expect you to be at the MSQ of that level
so if you're doing a Level 60 job quest, it expects you to have completed up to Level 60 MSQ
i'm basically at the very start of hv msq :(
do it then its a good story
then keep progressing it
afaik scholar in particular only visits the western highlands once
and then thats it
so thats not too bad actually
you won't be able to use your higher level skills til you're actually at that content
lucky you, the story for HW is fantastic, and you don't need anything in your lvl 60 kit until post 3.0
cuz level syncs
can I teleport with a friend before doing the msq?
no
you cannot enter places ur not supposed to be in yet
You will not be able to complete your job quest until the main scenario quest opens up that specific zone
you can cheat ahead in some areas, but most of them are locked away

it's just the way the hubs are designed
Kugane for example, there is literally no way to enter or leave Kugane on the overworld
same with Foundation
and now that i'm lvl 60 can i buy shire gear?
iirc the lvl 58 sch quest requires flying in the HW zone so you really can't access it until after the msq
not until you unlock idyllshire
and in Shadowbringers, the entire area cannot be visited until you are in Shadowbringers because of plot-related reasons
yeah you're considered over leveled right now
you literally can't get around doing msq. this is a story based game.
you can by paying money
you won't be able to actually use shire gear with its actual stats until the literal final quest of 3.0
but that is saying "no please i would like to skip 85% of this game to play the lesser 15%"
or you could stop worrying so much about progression
i capped poetics but i already have ironwork so
buy ironworks for something else
get ironworks for an alt job
honestly even if you got shire gear and all your job quests done, you can't do any lvl 60 raids or trials until after 3.0...
or it doesn't matter
cuz you won't get more poetics til that self same final quest of 3.0
you will get so many poetics you will not know what to do with them
unless you're doing roulettes instead of msq
I'm using them to level alc desynth
cuz I have absolutely no use for them lol
buy the lvl 50 gear for your smn
smn books? that's a bit pricey tho?
oh you mean low level desynth
usable til my alc desynth is 450
nah fam that's why you boost blm
already done and have a morbol
wow I just realized the next step for blue mage is the level we are at now
so I can just give blue mage my current rdm set
...
blu actually wants spell speed and det, sooooo spell speed blm gear will be better
not really, there are two different builds for blu
I mean, I have both anyways
crit/dh works too
I usually play healer blue mage
healer blu, now i'm imagining three full hotbars of just Pom Cure
strotram. gobskin and angel snack
it's still a shield
cactguard, no one uses
hm
Have to unlock a10 first and i'm at a5
how hard is Deltascape 4.0 savage at lvl 80?
So, If I've heard right, EW is the final expansion for part 1 of the story, so there would be more expansions and content afterwards correct? FFXIV going for 10s of years like WOW and RS
Its the final of the first arc
Not the end of the game
6.1, the first update around christmas, starts the new story
Yeah, Arc's the word
so theres gonna be way more 
theres honestly a lot that can come after EW tbh
For instance, other stars might become more relevant
Khloe is not gonna believe the stuff we tell her frim like 7.0
Also there are two whole continents left to explore
"Did I tell you about the time we killed this timetraveling multidimensional god?"
"Yes grandpa, lets go get your meds"
Meracydia-australia and new wirld-america
Oh, Btw, Is "Eorzea" the name of the planet they are located, or the continent?
Continent
Hydaelyn is the planet name
oh ye vylbrand
i really like the machinist goggles. is there anything similar for all classes?
all of this
Oh, There's a ton of places to go then 
1.0 preorder reward is cid goggles
lemme just go back in time 10 years rq kekw
cobalt goggles. Level 41 DoH/DoL gear
nice thanks
Not hard...you.kill exdeath before he disappears and Neo exdeath dies before Grand cross.omega (provided you don't constantly die). You need to loosely do Grand cross alpha and delta but otherwise easy
how do i get on this island again? been swimming around it for 20 minutes now
tyty
where did they say that?
you'll have to check the live letters leading up to EW's announcement
both Yoshi and Square CEO are committed to a new story arc for 7.0
It was in one of the interviews, can't remember which but it was an offhand comment.
oh just an offhand comment
about how squenix was committed to supporting the game for "another 10 years"
How do i find a static?
We're also know just from previous expansions that the dev is typically working on story stuff two expansions ahead of the current one
whats this icon supposed to mean? is that a special reward?
EndWalker is the final story for the Hydy/Zodi arc
Can glamour them
basically means you can dress the npc up
oh my god
I don't get it fully
unexpected reward but nice
So when I pre-ordered Endwalker, I got Mephina and stuff
dress your grandpa as funky as you would like
well at least even if they, due to some circumstances, only decide to make 1 expac after EW, then I guess they'll at least keep the servers alive for 10 more years
but now it's not charged yet?
So they give those items even if they didn't charge you
the steam sku doesn't work that way iirc right
Steam and console pay now
yeah that's my pref
but Vinyl, I even see there's an activation key
you can't use it yet
You get the preorder code
^
Expansion codes get given and used when endwalker actually comes
Don't forget 11 is still up
And still updating
how long is heavensward?
I'm really not used to this way of purchasing things
I would've preferred them to charge me
About 75% of a jrpg
longer than arr? same time?
wait servers are still online for that?
Shorter than arr
Yes
Yup
11 is still getting updates, for their 20th anniversary
thats cool
but the way it works now, they will take the money off my paypal near the release?
Yes
Alright
A handful of places do that
Some game stores
Why pay for something that's not out yet
sqex profits when endwalker launches gonna be through the roof
psn and eshop does that as well
im hoping i can get to endwalker before release but i kinda doubt it
im only 3 quests into heavensward
They delayed it just for you
so that you don't need to worry about the release
first try 😎
took me like 2 and a half weeks to beat arr
yeah thats arr tho
oh yeah true i don’t have to worry about levelling nearly as much anymore
I paid for the expansion at fanfest and just now popped a 90 day sub, it feels better to not have to worry about my sub status looming over my head
at least to me
also what is there to do once you finish the msq?
I manually resub every month lmao
like what do people do who have like 2000 hours in ff14
harder content. extreme trials and savage raids
Theres also crafting and gathering
Raids, Extreme Trials, crafter and gather content, mount farming, pvp
not to mention the other 16 classes that you didnt level
You can also level up your Grand Company rank to get an apartment and unlock the real endgame
Housing
Its not the endgame
how long in rough hours is, like, sb?
Mount farming, minions
its just a hobby for masochists
Treasure maps
wait is sb shadowbringers or stormblood
ah yes maps
sb = stormblood, shb = shadowbringers
i have 80 currently which i think is about the common amount to have started hw?
wait or was it 80 hours
shb for shadowbringer sb for stormblood or stb
Depends on what you've been doing
thank you richard d james sir
This is a theme park mmo
last night my map static did extra prog outside of our usual hours and got a gambler's lure on a hedgehoglet chest
Tons of different shit to do
I wouldn't sweat playtime
ive leveled up 3 diff classes
just know the msq will take a while
thaum to 30, bard to 50, and dark to 50
or if you're the creator of FF, like a week
as long as you're having fun zero reason to stress about playtime.
I have done the MSQ, but I can't find this quest anywhere? I'm trying to unlock Hab for the triple triad card https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Can't_Do_It_without_U
i have like mega hype for the nier raid and im kinda sad its so far away
im just glad its permanent so i dont have to rush
also is the pod minion from the raid?
There's 2
and like helping 2b and 9s or whatever
6 minions total from nier
It's more of a Yoko Taro story than an addition to Nier lore
2b,2p,9s,stubby,042,153
2b 2p 9s stubby and 2 pod minions
9s my beloved
nines 
yeah you get to beat up 9s, hes the final boss of the first raid
i played with japanese audio and ||did not catch for a while that 2b started calling him nines||
NineS
just don't expect like, lore dumps on the same level as the external stageplays
Is there a way to repair the launcher/game ?
heya guys whats the best way to find good crossworld linkshells? i have tried applying online but cannot find any
Would recommend a replay in English, Kyle Macauley fucking killed it
im gonna replay the whole franchise in english
Yes
my only issue is i dont wanna take a lot of time out of ff14
Bow down to the queen
Kyle my beloved
replicant is literally one of the best games ever
Content doesn't go away in 14 outside of seasonal stuff like Halloween and Christmas
true but i also kinda wanna catch up to endwalker
my impression of nier, having never played the game is:
2b thigh highs
become as gods
what part of the story are you?
FF14 is a MMO that respects your time, the only gated content is promo events
you can reasonably get to endwalker in a month from ARR if you read fast + have a lot of time
i have 8 classes so my free time is like mid
Where is the best place to learn tanking . Hall of novice will show the basics but for more advance learning should I stick with leveling dungeons or with end level dungeons that allows access to high end gear or maybe alliance raids .
You got squadrons unlocked?
i’d just go into dungeons and play
most people will help you at least a little
thats how i learned to tank

guys is talking about crossworld linkshells a taboo subject?
Why would it be?
ive been trying to ask almost every day and got no answers xD was just wondering
Most people just don't use them
Watcha asking about CWLS?
just want to know if there is a better way to find them other than community finder...cause i have tried there and im getting no luck
unfortunately most groups just use discord
Or FC chat
ff14 was the first community that heavily embraced discord, it's even on discord's website
so my impression of CWLS is that let's say you want to do some treasure hunts, you join like a "treasure hunt linkshell" which consists of others who like doing the same, is that how it works?
yup yup
Linkshells are just private chat rooms basically
ah ok gota ya
Need to shout and look around for them
got ya*
im in a great FC, it's just i am kind of new and would like to experience all the different things the game has to offer, but i think all the members of my FC have done pretty much everything and are just waiting for the next exp...
That's basically everyone at this point
so i was thinking the CWLS is the next option for me
Outside of new people
i see there is another thing called "fellowships"
is this pretty much the same as CWLS?
Lol no
No
They're literally just message boards with no chat rooms
psst stay away from fellowship finder rn it's a mess
Many people forget that they even exist
iirc fellowships are a 1.0 hold over
No
ah ok
It's this expansion
Would I lie to you?
yea they're quite niche but helpful of keeping track of people interested in raiding
for my community at least
Message boards are so 2000 tech
actually cracked wth
its like a stopgap between recent contact, and friendslist but dont deserve on either list for when you look for them
thanks all
so, why are nearly all of the items you get from Quick Explorations untradeable/sellable?

Cuz they're dungeon gear
most of the items from quick explorations are sellable or tradeable (it's a massive pool of potential rewards) so you're getting hit with a lot of rng
but yeah probably dungeon gear
can turn it in to your gc for seals or desynth it and sell the mats on the mb
What time are daily resets?
Ah, thank you so much
in #kupo-bot-spam
Which tomestone that i should gather before endwalker arrives again?
Is it poetics?
Looking for a fishing discord, is there one anyone knows of have a question about predator status.
all of them will be tradable for poetics
All tomes
You can enter endwalker with basically 3500
If you cap allegory and Revelation
How about yellow and white script?
Alright thanks!
i used a tome of folklore and it says a new page was added, but i dont see the new page anywhere, is it a new tab in my gathering log or something else?
gathering log, click the tab icon for folklore items
not every gathering method will have a folklore entry at certain places
the tab icon?
there's a button on your gathering log ui
yes
does level matter?i might be underleveled and its not showing up
If you used the book, it’d be there
shouldnt let you learn the book if you're underlevel i think
you're loking at botany, have you learned mining book? switch
cause my miners 20 something
and i used the ishgard books without issue
i bought all the blue token ones and used them all
since it let me
dunno why it let you learn them since those nodes are like level 60
maybe it'll show up once im 60
it should
i know that master books for crafting definitely dont let you learn them until you become that level, weird that folklore books dont follow the same rules
yeah i was confused
i thought it'd show up and just say the level
but its just not there
so i assume it'll pop up eventually
trying to get coffee beans i'm in the right area but I can't see the nodes is it kuz i'm not high enough level?
Is there a setting that shows the aoe of attacks or abilities you use on screen? (not the tooltip or description of the text)
No
so an ability says 30y, how do I figure out how much that is exactly on screen, other than badly guessing
Target something like a dummy and see when it greys out as you back away
^
For offensive skills at least
also that's something you jut kinda... learn with time and playing more
hmm so I'd have to grab something that goes 15y, and then use twice that
Aoe are just...feeling it
there aren't really any scenarios where you need to know the specific distance away
just the Feel
I don't really work with feels
a lot of this game will involve working with feels
especially considering the, what feels like a lack of feedback on abilities, 'learning' it just by going is really awful
Hey, do i really need to run cristal tower in order to continue my main quest ?
Yes
its story relevant
Damn ._. Que for it takes freaking long
are u qing as tank?
No dps
Syrcus tower?
Then it shouldn't be that long
You're on EU right. Have you enabled all languages?
Crystal Tower rarely takes more than 5 mins for dps 
Sitting now at 45 min xd
You can enable multiple languages?
Aye, in the dutyfinder options
!faq dflanguages
its especially important if u play on the jpn servers or EU
Japanese
J= Japanese, D is German, F is French
Gotcha
French
I suppose that’d be good if you didnt need to talk to the group
it allows you to be matched with someone who has only enabled french for example
If you see one of the letter was underlined, it is the player’s current client language they’re playing
you dont need to talk outside of actual hard content tbh
True
Didn´t know about it, thank you !
Doesn't matter in eu, Noone speaks anything but English cause they don't know who they've been parties with basically
Also yea, you basically only do o/
And gg ty
ive had a lot of people who only spoke french tbh

Oh really? Never happened to me
trying to explain mechs in ridorana with my basic ass french
"rouge= allez a bleuuuu"
Imagine orbonne
i would've cried
my alliance was mostly french and we were the wipe alliance
i was sweating over that keyboard trying to make a sentence
What should I do with extra HQ and NQAnimal droppings and Animal trace after finishing the quest at the crystialium? Are they used for anything else?
Yeet them
Seems like such a waste:/

Is there a particular discord/server or something that’s recommended for looking for Synched Extremes?
Free Trial so kinda limited rn
Mainly just wanna do em for the experience
Er, literal experience I mean lol
the sync or bust discord in #resources for aether exists for that kind of thing
Looking for someone to help me with a character creation question based on an in game picture I took. If you think you can help me with that, please send me a message!
Mechanical or glamour specific?
not glamour, appearance for character creation, speficially for female midlander
ic
#glamour-discussion may help you out depending on the question
It’s not just gear, they sometimes help with body aesthetics. If it’s a “how does something work” question it can be asked here
Ayy JoCat
I have no played WHM in a while, and I forgot I have insta queue lmao
Anyone have any quick low effort ways to gear up retainers? Specifically at level 50 and 60
Cba to craft the gear myself, and can't find any vendors. Is marketboard only other quick option?
Your old gear?
HW vendors
bite me: how far am i from zandor if i'm only rank 1 in bozja now?
I keep my armory chest very clean, so that's all gone
i'm expecting the answer to be very unpleasant in terms of how much i have to endure bozja proper
poetics gear
if your retainers are combat-based
I thought they only had 51-59 gear, which is too high for the level 50 ones, and not good enough for the 60 ones. But I'll check it out anyway!
Only two of them are, the rest are DoL, unfortunately. Farming poetics also isn't very quick 🤔
Okay, just checked, HW vendors are perfect. Thanks!
What weapon is best to buy on marketboard for blm
how long is ultimate alex raid ?
The fight lasts about 16 mins
Back to the start
the raid is level 60 right ?
Lol no
80
people play it unsynceed
No
Vruh
is selling eureka gear a good way to get gil?
the highest ilvl weapon for BLM available on the MB is the exarchic rod
Ultimates can't be unsynce
Wow that's amazing
Ever
Every single thing that you just said
oh
Is wrong
Ultimates are very different from Normal raids
i was asking tho
Thankss
my bad forgot the "?"
Ultimates were introduced in stormblood anyways
no, ultimates cannot be unsynced
they are meant to be extremely challenging
If you want those glowy weapons, you’re playing how the devs want
more difficult than savage raids.
For the top end players
i just check most of the savage raids, they dont seem that hard, but the rewards are meh
thats why am thinking of ultimate as my end goal
Uh, huh. Have you done them?
no
People say that then wipe to tiles for 3 hours
Light rampant
You need to clear savage before you can even unlock ultimates
Looking at a guide where people do it perfectly is completely different
Talk is cheap, takes money to buy bacon
Than actually doing it
IK man
Do you?
the guide for TEA is 70 pages long.
am just saying they dont seem even close to how hard ultimate is
Clear e12s without the echo before you even consider ultimates
all of them are actually really doable
Well. Obviously ultimates are harder than savage
Ultimates are purposely designed for the Devs to go all out
yes hard, will wipe, but not that hard
No holds barr
But you're coming off as very cocky
They WILL kill you and everyone if you look at it wrong
good god
Most ultimate statics won't take you without a clear on the current tier
am sorry you took offense
and good parses as well
savage isnt that hard, yes i will wipe alot
Bis for tea is from e1-4s anyways
but not as hard as people told me
Actually clear savage, then come back to us
“Isn’t that hard”
why are you so annoyed that i said savage isnt that hard ?
Just stand here :)
yes i 100% know people will wipe alot when they do it
Savage isn't THAT hard no, but you need to know how to play your class and contribute accordingly before you can judge content
By that logic ultimates aren't hard either
You need to actually DO savage to have an opinion
yes
this is what i mean
I didn't say they were easy
cough cough
what worries me is being mechanically good, not being good at my class
You need both
those are the same thing
because you can practice alot solo
And often the two intertwine
but mechanics will need you to wipe alot
No
Oh no
Anyone can muscle memory a rotation
You can't practice solo
You need to be able to do your job WHILE doing mechanics
I can do a perfect BLM rotation on a dummy now
i mean your rotation
I enter a fight and my brain stops
Cant say content is easy unless youve done it yourself
Actually doing your job well during mechanics makes you a good player
And you need to do your rotation while doing mechanics
this is what makes ultimate really hard
And knowing how to adjust it
This is what makes savage hard
I fail to understand what's the real argument here
As do EXs
Savage and extremes do it
Before ultimates are even a factor
doing your rotation and resolving mechanics at the same time is what makes savage difficult. knowing your rotation alone will not make savages easy for you.
Each fight you need to adjust
On an unrelated note... do you think the opinion that "The more legend titles a person have, the more likely this person is a bit toxic" is a valid opinion if you haven't cleared any ultimates?
Ultimates just have more mechanics and vastly overlapping mechanics
And rapid execution
I'm in the UK what is the best buy option for the game?
^
machinist is the most braindead job to pick up, hence why i main it, but a machinist that doesn't know how to handle tiles on e9s will be throwing until they learn it
!faq buy
Talking about ultimates before you've even done savage is like talking about a marathon before you can even do 100m
not really. the majority of triple legends i've seen are cool with mistakes and aren't very toxic. that's not a fair generalization.
idk, but from what i have seen, savage seems hard but, not as hard as people make it sound like, ultimate on the other hand,, oof
Not really. But saying ultimates are "easy" and you haven't even attempted any yourself is an unreliable opinion
You haven’t played them
Seeing and doing are very different
You don’t know
I don't judge a person from mentor crown / titles or whatever the hell until I actually speak to them
good god i get it
I mean, expect that response if you go 'idk man...' rigbht before your statement
and they're correct too
You can watch a savage fight and then say "boom" its easy
Savage prog takes anywhere between a day or two to a few hundred hours depending on the group
Do it first, then come back with an opinion
idk how you guys make me sound like someone saying savage is EZ
Savage is hard
You literally said "it wasn't that hard"
yes
You don't get to say it isn't when you haven't even done it
I think what we are trying to say is, we don't think you actually understand how hard Savage is
I personally don't think its THAT hard because I myself have done them
But that's MY opinion
I dont make opinions for others
It is true that it isn't THAT hard, but we still think you are clearly underestimating it
Real question is how in hell fc buffs work. Someone said you have to craft them or spend fc points and i dont understand :c. Can only the fc leader buy them?
people made savage sound like 90% of what ultimate is
hmm where do they buy them?
from their affiliated gc
and that its almost not doable for most people
ah okay
Instead of talking about it here, go do it for yourself
Basically FC admins buy buffs items, store them in an inventory, then people with access can activate them, and grant the buff for 18H or something
It's a take I agree with where Savage isn't nearly as bad as ultimate, but do not underplay how hard Savage is for most people
everytime i want to work on a savage raid i get answered with " huh, good luck with that"
Well, grant the buff to the whole FC
It's not, but you're looking at a full week's of practice to learn the fight from scratch. Especially if you've never done savage before
you will eat your words when you pug tiles prog and then it's suddenly brambles prog again
Hmm how expensive are they?
full week isnt that much
what are you on about
Cheap, like really cheap, brought with FC currency tho
am expecting ultimate to take me atleast 3 months
Like a functional FC will not be able to run out of points to buy buffs I think
ah tyvm
24 * 7 hours split throughout several weeks
unless you have an IV drip and live in a porta-potty
ha ha
Ultimates usually take a minimum of a few hundred pulls, my triple legend friend had at least 600 on his lowest clear
Are there craftable ones? Someone in my fc kept talking about craftable fc buffs
This isn't even a question at this point
you just buy them
This is turning into a discussion
Coolio :D
go to #endgame-lounge if you want to argue about savage difficulty more
Yeah, basically you can buy level 2 ones (like 10% exp boost), and can manually craft lv 3 ones (15% exp boost)
There's level 3 buffs that are their own beast. But that's a whole other thing
Oh you can buy them on MB? didn't know that
Probably a silly question but squadron battle manuals stack with heat of the battle correct? Ngl someone told me to use my squadron for battle manuals and now I have like 80 and no clue what to do with them lmao
no, as in points for FC stuff
No
No
Sad
They're the same buff
actually no, it's the one that's higher iirc
They're the same buff the manual is just the equivalent of a level 3 buff
Squadron is Tier 3 Fc buff
lmao why did I do this
anything else worthwhile to get from weekly squadron missions?
I wish in EW you can get the squadron run longer in city buff
You will
anything your FC don't provide
Other buffs, I usually grab the food or mgp ones
Cause Back on your feet will change
gold saucer tickets are nice
Except I'm done with mgp now lol
So that scroll should
it scales the weekly fashion report
Because I'm still salty you can't get Squadron Back on your feet
honestly not really for the number of seals you may have to put in
tp tickets are arguably the most valuable thing if you really care / don't wanna spend your seals
hmmm
Squadrons give tickets that are a 2h version of a level 3 fc buff
squadrons give consumables that grant buffs
Give solo tier 3 Fc buffs
Yeah you get one stack of buffs every week
oh, yeah, i see
mind you its not all fc buffs
