[feral trail]

can you only get tomb of aphorism when ur max lvl?

[boreal storm]

Yeah, it’s just like allegory

[storm cosmos]

are the ornate exarchic chestpieces from khloe worth it over the MGP?

[warped nest]

Nope

Not worth

[feral trail]

whats the best way to grind the new tombs?

[cursive ridge]

they're not tombs, they're tomes

do the daily roulettes

[maiden copper]

how useful is 5/6/7/8 for exp?

[cursive ridge]

not at all

[maiden copper]

or is it better just to use it for getting tomes

[obsidian patio]

Better for tomes

[boreal storm]

roulettes

[leaden ginkgo]

if new player bough endwakler now, do they get Menphina's Earring ?

[boreal storm]

No, can’t preorder something that’s already out

[naive ridge]

thats a preorder item

[leaden ginkgo]

I see

[modern sorrel]

Hi I was just wondering

If you buy an apartment for 500k gil does that mean you can't buy one from your FC house for 300k?

It doesn't let you have both does it

[cursive ridge]

can have both

[boreal storm]

One’s temporary, so I hope you like that FC

[modern sorrel]

Oh the FC house apartment doesn't get demolished if you don't play for a while? Just as long as the FC owner doesn't lose the plot

is that right?

[boreal storm]

If you leave/get kicked, the room’s gone

[modern sorrel]

But otherwise it doesn't get revoked right

[cursive ridge]

If no member enters the Free Company house in 45 days, the house will be automatically demolished.

[warm drift]

what are the good endwalker gathing foods btw, just hit 90 so guna start purple scrip farm for gear

[storm cosmos]

any point in upgrading exarchic gear anymore? might just get rid of mine

[cursive ridge]

glamour

[modern sorrel]

You can just buy 530 augmented gear for poetics

so exarchic is mostly cosmetic now

[storm cosmos]

I see, ty

[modern sorrel]

In eulmore

[formal depot]

When does the duty roulette restart

Nvm I found its midnight Japan time so 5pm

[warped nest]

!daily

[zinc orbit]

Tick, Tock, Kupo!

Time Until Daily Reset:

**<t:1639407600:F>

8 hours, 52 seconds**

[formal depot]

4pm

[warped nest]

Oh Damn this is impressive

[lethal mist]

So I heard something about using old materia at the gob dude? What exactly can you do with it?

[warped nest]

Does that change depending on your local time?

[leaden ginkgo]

How do you guys sort your mitigation your hotbars? Right now my hotbar is looking like this, but I just find that it feels a bit disorganized/doesn't follow any sort of system that I could translate to like paladin.

[warped nest]

@lethal mist RNG new materia

[formal depot]

Yeah it showed for my local time

[warped nest]

Occasionally, you might get a higher level materia (example, using all 3 and got a 4), and that will give you an achievement

[lethal mist]

Oh it gives me a random new materia? Any or always IX/X?

[formal depot]

Talking about hotbars do you guys click to use or do you only use the keyboard?

[warped nest]

The new materia will not match any of the one you put in

[lethal mist]

Too many to only use keyboard unless you're a piano player

[warped nest]

Regarding their level, it depends on what you used

[lethal mist]

I was thinking using my old VII/VIII

[cursive ridge]

that's why modifier keys exist

[formal depot]

Because I got the habit of clicking on my paladin and I can't stop it... I even got so much faster 😔

[leaden ginkgo]

I use exclusively my mmo mouse buttons. Never click on anything.

[warped nest]

Whatever is comfy for you

[formal depot]

How that works

Clicking is annoying I feel like I'm not playing how it's supposed to be

[warped nest]

I have seen some very good, and very very bad mouse click

[cursive ridge]

https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/614J0VriTRL._AC_SL1500_.jpg

[formal depot]

OOOHHHH I see

[leaden ginkgo]

It works good! Honestly a lot of people talk about a learning curve, but just use 3x4 hotbars and it makes the learning curve so much better.

[warped nest]

If you like controller

XIV works very well with controller too

[formal depot]

I feel like cheating when I don't use my keyboard and I don't even know why 😔

[leaden ginkgo]

So wait yeah, how do you guys sort your mitigation across tanks on your hotbar?

[warped nest]

Most of them do the same thing

[storm cosmos]

how do I unlock the last GC rank to buy the lootboxes?

[leaden ginkgo]

Do you have like a system or anything, like big mitigation tool here with rampart below it, aoe mitigation tool with rampart below it

[warped nest]

Something like that yeah

[formal depot]

No I only watch out for big attacks and use whatever

Paladin is op honestly

I would literally press random stuff when there's big attacks and I would tank the entire thing

At the start of endwalker I started timing the stuff better and not using everything like a dumbass

[warped nest]

!action shadow wall

[zinc orbit]

**Shadow Wall** : lvl 38 DRK (120.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

[cursive ridge]

am i just blind or do the crystalline mean fishing deliveries not tell you where to go to fish for stuff?

[warped nest]

So, for my PLD and DRK (and war and GNB)

These 120s 30 percent damage reduction skill are all On the same Spot

Rinse and repeat for other skills with same cooldown and effect

[leaden ginkgo]

Oh yee, Im looking at a infograph about like how each mitigation tool translates to other jobs. The main thing Im struggling with was just the actions mostly at the top.

Ill put it in

Since paladin and warrior have 2, but gunbreaker and dark knight have 1

[warped nest]

Simple solution would be put two the Blackest Night

And two heart of stone

[cursive ridge]

two copies of TBN might actually be useful

one for just self casting as normal, and one for the mouseover version

for when you want to cover your maintank while offtanking

[leaden ginkgo]

Oh, I didnt think about that, and honestly with how much you use heart of stone, its not that big of an issue to prob have two actions for it right?

[warped nest]

It is about making it easy for you to perform the skills

I have seen players with AOE hotbars

Exclusively used for dungeon mobs. It includes single target abilities too (still exist in their single target hotbar)

[leaden ginkgo]

oooh I see

altho with that infograph, should abyssal drain really be part of the mitigation part of the hotbar? I always looked at it more as a damaging move that also ends up healing.

[cursive ridge]

somewhat outdated

[warped nest]

Do take note that the graphic is made for Shadowbringers

[cursive ridge]

drain is now exclusively for aoe

[leaden ginkgo]

oh ik, but still back then, I never thought of it as a mitigation tool

[warped nest]

!action Abyssal drain

[zinc orbit]

**Abyssal Drain** : lvl 56 DRK (60.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Deals unaspected damage with a potency of 150 to target and all enemies nearby it.
Additional Effect: Restores own HP
Cure Potency: 200
Additional Effect: Restores MP

[cursive ridge]

as it shares a cd with carve and spit

!action carve and spit

[zinc orbit]

**Carve and Spit** : lvl 60 DRK (60.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Delivers a threefold attack with a potency of 510.
Additional Effect: Restores MP

[cursive ridge]

is it stupid? yes

[warped nest]

(personally I think it is a dumb ass change)

[leaden ginkgo]

Oh yeah I heard about that, super dumb

[cursive ridge]

is it what we got? it is ours fate to suffer

[warped nest]

God damn it, roach, get out of my head

[cursive ridge]

do you mean... our head?

[leaden ginkgo]

I guess I could just put that category of moves at like the modified version of my aoe buttons, just in the mitigation section.

TY for the help btw! I didnt think about using two TDN, and two Hearts!

[warped nest]

But in the context of mitigating mobs

[cursive ridge]

the blackest, not the darkest

[warped nest]

Abyssal drain is still good

200 heal per enemy hit is very substantial

[leaden ginkgo]

mb

TBN

[cursive ridge]

looks at WAR with their 400 heal per enemy hit every 25 seconds

yes very substantial

[warped nest]

Stop

[leaden ginkgo]

ooh okie, yeah Ill put that in then, ty for help!

[warped nest]

Has DRK not suffer enough?

[cursive ridge]

(and WAR gets those heals three times per use)

[elder wasp]

Really weird question but i swear when i first played ff14 back in like 2013-2014 you used to have to get multiple base jobs to a certain level to get the better version, like i swear i had to level two jobs to a point to be able to get black mage. Am i just insane?

[cursive ridge]

no longer a thing

[warped nest]

Not insane

Lvl 30 primary class + lvl 15 secondary class

[elder wasp]

yeah but it was a thing right

[cursive ridge]

no longer is

[warm drift]

when did they add armoury bonus btw

[warped nest]

It was yes

A long time ago

[elder wasp]

glad im not crazy

[warped nest]

Possibly there from the very beginning

At the very least it is there in Stormblood

[formal depot]

What are all the xp bonuses I can get while leveling I know about food and the item u get from ur squads but is there anything else?

[cursive ridge]

https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Experience#Combat_Class_EXP_Table

[formal depot]

OK so now I got 2 questions

Why don't I have the road to 80?

When my main is 90?

Or is it main from the same class?

[elder wasp]

pretty sure thats only a thing if you roll on a low pop server

[cursive ridge]

road to... is for preferred servers

[formal depot]

Oohhh

So I can like do the thing where I switch servers and use that? Or is it exclusively for characters created there?

[cursive ridge]

for new characters created on preferred servers, pretty sure no servers are currently preferred

[formal depot]

Oh ok thanks

And what's the armory bonus

It gives a lot of xp but I never heard of it

[cursive ridge]

https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Experience#Armoury_Bonus

[formal depot]

Oh so that's why I was getting big xp bonuses

It goes down to +50% after 80... And here I thought 70 to 80 was a grind

[scarlet hinge]

How do u change the size of the summons?

[cursive ridge]

/petsize all small

macros -> text commands for syntax for other options

[warm snow]

It's always gonna be 50% for CURRENT expansion

[cursive ridge]

engineering/survival manuals for current expansion get introduced later on, right?

stormblood and shadowbringers alliance raids?

[narrow jay]

Ivalice/Nier and Weapons

[cursive ridge]

and shadowbringers trials?

[noble orbit]

check on the airship for ivalice, there's one more quest that people tend to miss

the ShB alliance raid requires the weekly quest chain to be done as well

there's a once-weekly quest near the other dwarven camp in kholusia that continues the storyline

yah, I forget if it's makin' bacon or wok on by that's required to finish the ivlaice chapter

[cursive ridge]

do we have the GC loot box contents list yet?

[leaden ginkgo]

Is it possible to hide SMN summons from other players? Removing effects doesn’t work

[boreal storm]

There is this
https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/r7c4h6/grand_company_loot_box_results_megathread/

[cursive ridge]

neat

[boreal storm]

ooh copycat bulb

[vivid bough]

Where is the vendor that would sell me gear for poetics in post ShB? I need iLvl 430 and am at 424

[solemn jewel]

Eulmore

[vivid bough]

ty

[lethal mist]

Can I safely add Materia to gear right now and then remove once gear gets better?

And is it as easy as just add/remove or do I have to do something specific?

[vivid bough]

it says it is suspended until fuirther notice

i guess there is a quest

[cursive ridge]

current expansion materia has a chance to break when removed from gear

80% for the lowest one and i dont remember the chance for highest one

chance of retrieval, not breakage

[lethal mist]

Hmm, So should I be melding my 560 gear or wait?

[hallow grove]

did the writers just discover what the word glean means

[cursive ridge]

it's just money and you probably have tons of it

[light delta]

How do you send a waymark on the map to a party member on a playstation controller

[lethal mist]

😐 I don't.... but I get your point, thanks mate.

Oh btw, can anything be penta melded? It's just RNG if you succeed after the slots are occupied?

[cursive ridge]

~~is there really no setting or dalamud plugin that autoclicks the "DO YOU REALLY WANT TO SAVE THIS FISH AS COLLECTIBLE" popup that defaults to no? this is so very annoying ~~ nevermind it defaults to yes

[cursive ridge]

usually just crafted gear, most other gear has 'advanced melding disabled' on it

[lethal mist]

Ok so if I can I keep going? I assume it just tells me "can't add more" or something then?

[cursive ridge]

yes

[little fulcrum]

After the ASt change, what does Lunar/Solar/Celes seals do ?

[lilac bolt]

Is the preorder bonuses for endwalker still possible to obtain ?

[solemn jewel]

No

[flint pollen]

[lilac bolt]

Alright Thanks !

[river oasis]

where is the level 90 tome gear exchanger?

[solemn jewel]

Radz at Han

[river oasis]

ah ok

[cursive ridge]

improve your astrodyne self buff

[leaden ginkgo]

server transfers allow for cross data center transfers right?

e.g. from an elemental world to NA

[cursive ridge]

i heard of people even transferring cross region but i might be mistaken

[hard quail]

A friend is trying to assisnt retainer a job, he has the voucher you buy for 40, but has no option to do it. Does he have to fire/re-hire the retainer? I thought he should just have a new line to 'assign class'

[boreal storm]

They have to be the lvl you start that job

30 for ARR & HW, 50 for SB etc

[dim quarry]

can you name a couple of youtubers I can watch for lore?

[hard quail]

In his case he actually has no jobs. He isn't able to assign one. I found a quest on the WIki maybe he hasn't done

[dim quarry]

podcasters too

[boreal storm]

Class then, the class has to be those levels before you can upgrade

[hard quail]

Sorry, - What I mean is the Retainer is '-'. nothing assigned, and he doesn't have the option to assign them anything.

https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/An_Ill-conceived_Venture_(Gridania)
I think he's missing this quest.

Nice that seemed to be it
Awesome.

Hi I have 7 Retainers (1 Warrior, 3 Botanist and 3 Miner). Should I switch 2 retainers to Fisher ? or is Fisher not interesting ?

[leaden ginkgo]

Hello, I'm looking for a lvl 60 AST gear piece that is acquired from The Hands of Fate job quest. I'm currently a lvl 90 AST which I boosted back in ShB. Is there any way I can get the Welkin Hat from the lvl 60 set? I checked the calamity salvager and in the "Job specific gear" I have no lvl 60 gear

[bronze cove]

kk ty

[solemn jewel]

Might need to check at the centurio seal shop

[leaden ginkgo]

ohh I have to finish the archer job quest? I been ignoring it and came straight to the rogue guy lmao

I see a lot of team finder farming FATEs. What is the reason ?

[boreal tree]

XP

[solemn jewel]

Some relics require fates

[boreal tree]

cries in ANIMA

[solemn jewel]

plus u get certain currencies in SHB+ regions to buy stuff with

[lilac bolt]

Ok, thanks 🙂

[boreal tree]

I leveled my SMN in the new area - G - from 85 to 88 doing FATES; so go smack them.

[forest sage]

xp is pretty alright too but yeah largely the bicolor gemstones in ShB/EW fates

you can buy materials to sell, and now in EW you can even sell the gemstones directly kinda(can sell vouchers for 100gemstones that let you buy fancy new super expensive stuff)

so you get decent xp and good money, good reasons to do FATEs

[cedar lantern]

thanks! 🙂

materia extraction

[craggy tinsel]

I know gear gets progressively better over the course of an expansion, but I'm asking in case there's been a pattern: how long might this initial crafted gear stick around? I'm debating how far I want to go with materia on it

[obsidian patio]

6.1 for the next set of crafted crafting gear.

[craggy tinsel]

do we have a date for that yet?

[obsidian patio]

Nope

[craggy tinsel]

I'm thinking maybe just a few melds per piece then, not full pentameld

What's the best way to farm Aphorism atm outside Daily Roulettes?

[forest sage]

just spamming the dungeon, or doing hunt trains

[jade birch]

Hunt Trains? 🤔 Like those nuts thingy?

[forest sage]

A rank hunts

[slate arrow]

Yes

[jade birch]

I see I see. Haven't done any Hunt Trains so I have no idea how to do it. I'll prolly check out the PF later.

Do I need something in my inventory to get the Hunt Rewards or just the Nut Currency unlocked?

I remember these being a thing so I'm not really sure if I need a new set of these

[forest sage]

don't need anything, but won't find them in PF usually, it's more of a discord thing, not sure what your DC uses, a bunch use Faloop

[jade birch]

I'm Crystal, Brynhildr.

[slate arrow]

Hunt bills don't expire

And A and S ranks are elite marks

They always give rewards if you participate

[forest sage]

that's just normal hunt marks, A ranks is random 4-6hours spawns that require a party(or well at least multiple ppl usually), people find them in advance then organize a train that goes from one to the other killing them ina huge zerg

[simple pine]

can you only buy a skip for all at once? what if you have played everything except stormblood and just want to skip shb?

[ancient smelt]

im not sure if my problem or ff so im asking here if someone else have my same problem, sometimes randomly ff close alone with no error message freeze or something, i was playing and suddenly the game close

[wispy finch]

what error message is it

specifically what number

[cyan kelp]

They said with no error message

[cyan kelp]

Have you tried updating your drivers?

[fervent halo]

Is there a way to add more chat tabs? I got 3 and after adding a 4th the + sign is greyed out

[cyan kelp]

I've heard that the community launcher fixed some game crashes, not sure how true that is, but could also be worth a try

[crisp prawn]

Hi I just got into stormblood and im trying to unlock some aether currents in The Fringes. Im looking at this map and im going to the location of the Aether currents but there not showing up. do I need to do something before I start collecting Aether currents? Im currently looking at this map

[jade quartz]

Use your aether compass. Old expansions’ aether currents have been trimmed and relocated to be easier

[crisp prawn]

ooooooho ok thanks

[cyan kelp]

They are there, keep in mind it doesn't tell you how high up or down low they are

[jade quartz]

They’re all in super obvious places now tbh so looking up a guide is kind of worthless

[boreal storm]

There’s only 4 map currents

[jade quartz]

Like in the middle of towns and stuff

[cyan kelp]

They trimmed it that much?

[jade quartz]

Just hit that aether compass

[cyan kelp]

Worth noting Aether Compass has been moved under Collections

[boreal aurora]

how do u cancel fishing without losing buffs

[jade quartz]

Just don’t hook

Or hook early if you want to cancel before a bite happens

[blissful tinsel]

Does giving your retainer better gear raise the chances of rarer items to drop off of expeditions?

[jade quartz]

Yes

Dunno if our faq has the updated breakpoints for EW though

Let’s see

!faq retainerbp

[zinc orbit]

What are the current retainer breakpoints for max yield?

BTN/MIN: 2400 Gathering.
FSH: 1628 Gathering.
DoW/DoM: Item Level 428.

[jade quartz]

Nope that’s old

[blissful tinsel]

Okay, thank you.

[wispy finch]

This is outdated

There’s only 5 now

[umbral moat]

Why does materia 8 have higher stats than materia 9?

[wispy finch]

Yk

I dont know but its funky

[boreal storm]

One’s meant for overmelds, it’s not 8

[hollow crown]

getting MBP was quite easy 😄

[ancient smelt]

no error message

[ancient smelt]

all is update

[wispy finch]

Hmmm that’s weird

So theres no error message at all

[ancient smelt]

nop like you close an app

[wispy finch]

Can you try if your anti virus app is blocking it

or on quarantine

[long lintel]

Are there achievements for completing x amount of guildhests?

[wispy finch]

It happened to me

[jade quartz]

There are

[ancient smelt]

no my anti virus is disable

[jade quartz]

A title in fact

[long lintel]

Do you know where they are?

[jade quartz]

Doesn’t take too many

Battle somewhere

[ancient smelt]

and tbh i play+ for hours sometimes its litterraly random

[cyan kelp]

Check event viewer, and check the details of why it crashed there

Should show up in there

[long lintel]

I found this website https://ffxivcollect.com/achievements/search?q[description_en_cont]=guildhest

I searched it it seems to fall under category quests

[ancient smelt]

ok ill try

[lean echo]

How to increase size of a hud element? There's a button for it I can't remember lol

[open rivet]

Is there somewhere one can read up on melding rules?
not stat distribution for classes, but like restrictions on materia grades etc

[open rivet]

right click on it's header -> scale

[lean echo]

That seems to just hide it

[umbral dune]

Hold down ctrl and middle mouse

[open rivet]

right clicking should bring up a context menu, weird that it closes it on your end

[faint flare]

Page up/down in the hud editor or press the cog when selecting it

[neon urchin]

why are they not aligned 😦

[lean echo]

ty all ^^^^

[twilit rampart]

Anyone familiar with reaper? Why is it that sometimes hellsgate doesn't allow teleport back? I can't figure out why it happens. I dodge something with it, but then I cant teleport back?

[faint flare]

Lv74 trait

For the port back

[twilit rampart]

Yeah, I'm lvl75

The point being that I can use it, but sometimes its unusable

[faint flare]

It also has a range if you move further away

[twilit rampart]

I tried that, but its like 1.5 times the distance it teleports until you cant use it to come back. What I mean is that immediately after teleporting its unusable

[boreal aurora]

is lvl570 gear enough to max out botanist retainer

[twilit rampart]

no time to move too far

hmmm... actually... since i'm grinding fates, it might be that fate scales my level below 74? I need to check this

[faint flare]

Probably is

[twilit rampart]

Yeah... simple answer i ddint realise 😄

[neon urchin]

anyway i can hide the hotbar lock icon ?

[umbral moat]

Thank you!

[green grail]

hide hotbar 1

[neon urchin]

Ty, i have another question. can i make like hotbar 2 work with like F9 + 1 instead of ctrl ?

[green grail]

no, the only supported modifiers are ctrl alt and shift

[neon urchin]

okay ty

[worn ice]

Hey guys, uh question regarding purchasing within FFXIV
This is my first time buying the starter pack, or well I have enough crystas to buy one-- it only lasts for a month, right? I've been playing free trial for nearly 3 months leveling my character to level 60 as a summoner.

[boreal storm]

You have to buy subs afterwards, correct

[worn ice]

Man... I don't know when I could buy the subs afterward- that's why I've been lingering on the free trial- so I could spend much time on ffxiv while I can.
Thank you for answering

[shrewd cradle]

guys does this mean I can queue for any 60-70 dungeon?

[green grail]

any level 60

[boreal storm]

It says lvl 60

[shrewd cradle]

alright

[neon urchin]

do you guys tend to use anything past number 5 or you stop at 5 and use other keys

[vast hinge]

I stop at 5

[shrewd cradle]

LOL

[boreal aurora]

is ilvl570 reaper weapon even better i dont understand it has lower stats than the ilvl560 i have

[boreal storm]

That’s not possible

You sure you’re looking at the main stat?

[boreal aurora]

whats the main stat

[vast hinge]

weapon damage

[neon urchin]

lmao

[boreal aurora]

||https://i.imgur.com/QDFTmqr.png https://i.imgur.com/RcYBmQG.png||

[boreal storm]

Strength, you’re a reaper

[boreal aurora]

all the bonuses are lower

[boreal storm]

They clearly aren’t

[vast hinge]

strength isn't, but even if it somehow was

the 2 weapon damage is already enough of a difference

[boreal aurora]

much lower crit

[boreal storm]

And Determination go up

[boreal aurora]

is that so fine i get the 570 one

[worn flume]

weapon damage and strength are much more important than the substats

[vast hinge]

weapon damage is by far the most important stat

[boreal storm]

If you want more crit, materia exists

[boreal aurora]

+2

weapon dmg

[worn flume]

+2 is a huge increase in damage done, yes

[boreal storm]

Strength goes up 10 points, that matters

[boreal aurora]

kk cool i bought it

[modest igloo]

!faq statsmeme

[zinc orbit]

Error!

No tag named statsmeme exists, Kupo!

urgh

basically always go for weapon damage

substats are cool but theres a reason they are called SUBstats

[boreal storm]

No, use them

[boreal aurora]

@round archdoes pretty good dmg and aoe too imo

[round arch]

Does anyone know what's wrong I can't complete it cause it's not lighted up.

[jade birch]

Ahh same iLvl and all? No need to buy a new copy?

[faint flare]

Do we have an estimate for when it might be

[faint flare]

6.1

[bronze sorrel]

Thank you

[sour pumice]

Why not try NG+ ?

[neon urchin]

holy shit doing like all the side quests is hard

lotta npcs with them lol

[undone gull]

Aint that just the cutscenes?

[faint flare]

No

[sour pumice]

Nope

[faint flare]

You redo everything

[undone gull]

Ohhhh

[faint flare]

Unending journey in the inn room is just cutscenes

[undone gull]

Thats pretty nice then

Thx will do ng+ then

Is the complete Shadowbringer STory in Ng+?

[warm drift]

is there a way to macro selecting 3rd item down in gathering

[faint flare]

No

[trim sedge]

anyway to get ||the robes the sharlayans are wearing|| (first endwalker area) ? i heard u can wear them only during one sidequest D: but is there a way to get it permanently

[faint flare]

They use the alchemist gear

[trim sedge]

wat alchemist gear?

[faint flare]

Their af gear iirc

[green grail]

if you mean the forum outfit then no you can't get it

[trim sedge]

i do. awh ):

[woeful onyx]

What's the fastest way to level for a newbie? Doing main quest? I'm level 18

[sick osprey]

is there a way to search for a specific achievement?

[faint flare]

Story is MANDATORY

[boreal storm]

Ff14 collect

[warm drift]

do main story, progress is gated behind main story and it will give enough exp

[boreal tree]

https://youtu.be/c2-aHPUjQU0

[woeful onyx]

Should I ignore side quests then?

For now

[faint flare]

Yes

[boreal storm]

good

[faint flare]

!faq questicons and

[zinc orbit]

What do all these quest icons mean?

- These are how you reach the endgame and every other bit of content is locked behind it to some extent. MANDATORY
- These unlock a feature, instanced content, job actions, or a thing that is important for you to have. Do the ones related to your job/class and ones that unlock new content
- These usually have very little exp/gil as reward and are usually just part of the world/lore expansion. Mostly optional unless you are interested in doing them for the fluff
- These are quests you can do more than once, how often you can repeat it is up to the individual quest.

[barren flax]

is crit still the best meld or has that changed?

[woeful onyx]

Gotcha, thanks heaps

[boreal storm]

Still figuring out stuff

[barren flax]

so prob best to just temp meld VIIIs right?

[faint flare]

Yes

[barren flax]

[boreal tree]

Just don't forget the Chocobo Sidequest; whatever you do.

[green grail]

you can do some around your starting city for free ilvl 5 gear that's needed early in the story, and low level msq tends to skip a few levels too, but after you're like level 6-7 in the story don't bother with normal sidequests

[neon urchin]

but for my peace of mind i cant see quest icons on the map

so i need to do them

[sacred apex]

I need help finding a rotation for reaper, I looked on the balance but only found an opener, any suggestions for an opener?

[hard aurora]

@sacred apex youre what level?

[green grail]

apply/keep up the debuff, spend your charges to get stacks, spend stacks to build the second gauge, enshroud when you can

more or less plays itself

[craggy tinsel]

the best option would be to do them after MSQ - that will always take priority

if you can't see very well on the map, you can always zoom in to spread icons out

[mellow dawn]

is there any beginner class guides anywhere yet for endwalker?

[opaque fiber]

Is crafters scrips gear going to be enough to craft raid gear?

[craggy tinsel]

we won't know until we get there I think

[opaque fiber]

hmm i see

[craggy tinsel]

I assume the gear you want to make isn't available now

because there's accessories/weapons from the two extreme trials and there's the aphorism gear

[opaque fiber]

Yeah it isn't

[silver ruin]

🤔 whats it mean when you cant enter a house cause its too congested? too many people are in their houses or the server is too congested?

[craggy tinsel]

too many in the house

[opaque fiber]

Will be available when raids released. I remember in Shb, the augmented exarchic gear you had to use pentamelded gear for HQ, but since this is the first set of out 3 then I'm not sure

[silver ruin]

goddamit ok thanks, levi has been like that for 3 damn days now

[craggy tinsel]

wait, is it not just one house you're trying to get into?

[silver ruin]

nope

[craggy tinsel]

I joined in late ShB so I wouldn't really know how the gear progression across an expansion goes, but I guess we play it by ear for now

[silver ruin]

tried 3, all 3 cant be entered due to congestion

all in diff housing wards

[craggy tinsel]

hmm..

[twilit arch]

no it means the servers are congested

[opaque fiber]

Hmm I did the same. Well I guess I'll just grind as much as I can for the scrips gear and gather materials just incase

[sacred apex]

Almost 90

[twilit arch]

if you want to assure being able to craft the new crafted gear, you should be in pentamelded gear

[craggy tinsel]

I personally didn't even go for the scrip gear - I just went for crafted HQ

[silver ruin]

scrip gear is garbage, its class locked

[opaque fiber]

It's better?

[twilit arch]

Yes

crafted dol/doh gear is always better than scrip gear even if you lightly meld it

[craggy tinsel]

just one materia added makes it better, with room for more materia ofc

[silver ruin]

ok thanks, can see why they turned off auto demo 🙃

[opaque fiber]

Oh awwww. You guys got any names then please? Also I have all at 80 except LTW, should I get him to 80 first or get others to 90 before him?

[silver ruin]

you should get ltw to 80 then do all to 90

you cant see the recipes till then anyway (around 85 i think)

[opaque fiber]

Hmm I see, ty. And last question, should I bother leveling my gatherer? He's like 60 and it's a big grind so I'll only do it if it's really profitable

[craggy tinsel]

yes

[twilit arch]

unless you want to pay for crafting materials yourself

yes

[craggy tinsel]

it's profitable because you don't have to spend money on your own materials

[faint flare]

It makes you money by saving you money

[copper aurora]

So question, with the Shadowbringers Story Skip, does that skip to end of shb, or start of shb?

[twilit arch]

end of shb

[copper aurora]

ty!

[twilit arch]

it puts you at the start of endwalker

[opaque fiber]

Ok so just wanna make sure, crafted gear for raids is better than the tomestomes gear right? Cuz I don't have enough time for both sadly

[faint flare]

Not capped tomes

[opaque fiber]

Wdym

[twilit arch]

savage will release with capped tomestones

[craggy tinsel]

in terms of recipes, @opaque fiber:

LTW is needed for, crafter/gatherer hands/feet and gatherer accessories

WVR is needed for crafter/gatherer head/body/legs

CRP is needed for crafter accessories

BSM, ARM, GSM, CRP are needed for the tools (varies based on crafter/gatherer)

[faint flare]

Crafted gear is always 10 ilvl under capped tomes

[twilit arch]

like revelations

[opaque fiber]

Ohh I see, but those will take more than a week to get right? In Shb it took like 1 month

[faint flare]

450 per week

As usual

[opaque fiber]

Ok ty, then since they only release with the raids I should be able to have enough time

[warped nest]

Do we know which patch will include ultimate?

[twilit arch]

6.1 assuming no more delays

[wet pendant]

I'm not sure if this would be where I should ask this kind of question but, by any chance does anyone know if SE would put up the game for sale this month? Since I've seen them doing it for the past year, unsure if it'll be the same this year since EW just launched

[warped nest]

No

Probably not

[faint flare]

Don't expect one for another 6 months

[hoary storm]

are lv 80 dungeons bad for exp?

[faint flare]

Cause the expansion launch

[green raft]

is there any way to see the collectable window without having to talk to an appraiser npc

[opaque fiber]

Usually games dont have sales after expac releases

[warped nest]

Yes

[faint flare]

Yes just like any other level cap dungeon

[warped nest]

They were the endgame Dungeon and was never designed for exp

[twilit arch]

no, because the list is static now

[warped nest]

If a dungeon reward tomestone, then it is crap for exp

[twilit arch]

that said, collectables are in their own section in both gathering and crafting log

[opaque fiber]

Btw is it known when we're getting an extreme of the last trial?

[faint flare]

6.1

[twilit arch]

6.1

[faint flare]

As standard

The forumla for content releases doesn't change

[warped nest]

That's how it works so far for all Expansion

[patent frigate]

Is the alexander raid easy un synced?

[wintry trellis]

Yes

Prior to end walker you could get away with 4-6 lvl 80 players

Not sure about the new epic echo system but I imagine it’d still play similar

[patent frigate]

How many players should I get from pf?

[leaden ginkgo]

Realistically speaking if you were a WAR you could go most of the way on normal solo. As for Savage yea 4-6 max players can easily beat things into submission even when cap was 80 and pre-super echo.

[patent frigate]

So I should get 3 people for normal mode

[faint flare]

Just que for it

[patent frigate]

that takes wayyyy too looong

[vernal urchin]

it could take longer to find the people to unsync it lol

[faint flare]

PF will probably take the sane amount cause lol who pfs normal mode

[patent frigate]

idk I've been finding players easily

everyone is bored and wants to help lol

[wintry trellis]

Some people are still actively going through bozja line, if they want the relic they have to do Alexander as an alternative to bozja for parts. Should be relatively healthy still

[leaden ginkgo]

I would offer to help you honestly If i were on your DC. I wish you luck on clearing the raids in a semi-decent time

[wintry trellis]

Speaking of which. Bozja seems more likely to be an alternative to dungeon spam to 90.

[craggy tinsel]

depends mostly on your queues

probably as a DPS it would be more efficient to run Bozja/Zadnor if I had to guess

healers I'm not so sure, and tanks would almost certainly be dungeons

[leaden ginkgo]

Depends on if you have flying in EW zones. Those fate farming parties are nearly as fast as boz exp with flight, and can get some of the new items / passive gil income for you as well.

[pallid eagle]

What are the easlest range dps class to play to 90 with simple rotation and easy to manage

[solemn jewel]

Dancer

[leaden ginkgo]

^

Press button -> Another button light up? press it. Repeat.Use dance on cooldown, and use closed position on a dps. thats about it.

[wintry trellis]

Tank qs are really the only instant one but even then, 350k per fate, assuming you can get through them every 2 minutes and another is spawned that’s roughly 5.2mil over 30 minutes. People have began to learn the route for z3, and it seems the scaling was fixed for the most part. Though dungeons like for shb, will likely be better assuming you can get speedruns

[boreal storm]

“Ever played Simon says?” the job

[leaden ginkgo]

^ Yea basically. Its If button shiny -> press. and keep your damage buff up. lol

[fleet steppe]

dnc opener is like 4 skills and the rotation can be literally 2 buttons if you're unlucky

[worn flume]

your opener is wrong then

[fleet steppe]

at level 80*

It's more at 90.

I have no clue if you count conditionals as part of the opener

[worn flume]

flourish is a part of your opener, those aren't conditional

[tardy epoch]

my game is very squish :l LOL

my charcter became very tall

[sleek needle]

So that's how elezans are made but go into settings and change resolution?

[daring thunder]

how do i find aether currents now that we can no longer use the compass?

[faint flare]

It's in the Duty > collection menu

As stated In The tooltips

[daring thunder]

ohhh i didnt know that

thank you <3

[olive heath]

is it true that you get a alternate ending in shadowbringers for completing all the role quests?

[twilit arch]

Not an alternate ending no

you get an additional quest to do

[wintry trellis]

You get to choose who comes to your door on a given night. assuming you’re not past it

[olive heath]

O.O

oh that's pretty cool

[faint flare]

And an additional lore side quest chain

[olive heath]

thanks :)

[boreal aurora]

where do i get lvl70 bluemage gear?

[kind minnow]

im trying to do my fiesty little chocobo and i have it brought out but it says my companion skill level is too low, it says its level 52 and the ziz is lvl 30 am i doing something wrong

[wintry trellis]

Like job gear or gear in general?

Iirc you get it for progressing your spellbook and the circus thing job gear for actual gear just go to Rhalgrs Reach and purchase tomestone gear

[tall mountain]

and if you just want gear for stats, tomestones

[fallen elk]

did dungeon mobs stop giving xp or they do stop at some point?

[tall mountain]

the XP mobs gave has now been rolled fully into the bosses

you get the same overall XP for clearing the duty but now you don't have to kill optional mobs

[olive heath]

how would I know if i'm past it?

[wintry trellis]

Dungeon exp comes majority from bosses now, so instead of seeing it steadily increase it comes in burst after a boss is killed

[fallen elk]

Got it, thanks

[cold moat]

Where can I find a machinist rotation guide? I can only find outdated ones

[wintry trellis]

I can’t remember specifically the quest it was. I just know that it happens during an inn cutscene and is relevant to your progression on role quests. I don’t know about dialogue being the same but it’s different people

[twilit arch]

it happens in post shb

[wintry trellis]

!faq thebalance

[zinc orbit]

The Balance

Discord

[twilit arch]

so if you haven't completed the main scenario quest "Shadowbringers", you're not past it

[olive heath]

PHEW I'm safe

thanks so much for the help :)

[wintry trellis]

It’s kind of the same, I think peoples main debate is popping queen ASAP for the dmg.

[cold moat]

Thank you!

[boreal aurora]

one of this rare moments where i dont have poetics to buy bluegear is there a way to farm poetics quick?

[wintry trellis]

I do believe AA is full priority over drill now. Just because basic combo, CS, and AA is 50 battery. You’ll also have more overall queen drops, just remember to not cap on gauss/ricochet and don’t cap on heat

Other than that we mainly had 6 openers in SHB, and probably the same this time around after queen, and stat testing is done

[leaden ginkgo]

Is reaper essentially just keep its death debuff up, use avatar skills on cd (and the stuff that that activates) and try to do that on loop as much as i can (pre 80)?

[wintry trellis]

It’s farming simulator 2022

[faint flare]

Yes basically

You can pool gauge for raid buffs

[glad pewter]

Back to the game after almost 2 years, where can I trade my discontinued allegory tomestones?

[wintry trellis]

Mor dhona middle lady

[glad pewter]

Thanks

[leaden ginkgo]

Aighty. I haven't played a melee dps in a bit and for some reason reaper feels alot easier than the others. So I asked just in case I was missing something by smooth braining.

[wintry trellis]

That’s the general idea more or less. Just farm, press pretty buttons to farm more, rinse and repeat. more or less thebalance has resources more available on RPR than some jobs atm

[leaden ginkgo]

I'm guessing post 80 what changes is you have a "burst window" skill of sorts in enshroud, and I pair that with arcane circle?

[glad pewter]

Is phoenix's everlasting flight automatic?

[faint flare]

Yes

[leaden ginkgo]

can someone explain the last one

[glad pewter]

Nice

[leaden ginkgo]

what is advanced meld in bulk

[wintry trellis]

I would reference thebalance more for these wuestion

[leaden ginkgo]

It will attempt all 3 materia if checked

[faint flare]

Auto melds until it succeeds or you run out

[leaden ginkgo]

its a 1 click success or all gone button basically. you roll the dice in bulk

[tall mountain]

You have a (significant) chance for the materia to be destroyed instead of melding. Ticking that box will make it keep melding until it succeeds, destroying as many materia as it needs to in the process

[leaden ginkgo]

i see Thanks

[leaden ginkgo]

Gotcha. I just... Balance isnt my favorite place because I dont like to min-max, just want to play the class well enough not to be deadweight. I'll take the questions there tho.

[wintry trellis]

Yeah that’s valid but they also do explanations and guides for general purpose. Not just minmaxing

[west idol]

is it normal for trust dungeons to lag really badly? doing normal stuff with randoms works fine

[wintry trellis]

Are you testing this in the same environment and enough for it to be consistent?

[west idol]

not really, i was leveling warrior then swapped to main job to continue msq with a dungeon using trust

[wintry trellis]

It could be your internet just dropping packets during that run and nothing else.

[west idol]

internet was fine though, did a couple ping tests and opened a stream to check and everything worked fine

well idk, not a big issue, was just asking maybe it's normal with servers congested

[sour rock]

what is a shared fate rank 2? someone said i need to do those to get riding maps

[strange coral]

Shared fate is a ranking system in each zone for ShB and EW. You complete fates with a gold rating to rank up. Ranking up unlocks more stuff at the gemstone vendors.

[hollow brook]

Does anyone know how long it takes to receive the code for endawalker, just bought it and didn't receive an email and its not even under orders in my account.

[sour rock]

when you say you complete fates with a gold rating, how do you find gold rated fates.
and keener, should be relatively immediate

[strange coral]

The rating is what you get at the end of the fate based on how much you contributed

[sour rock]

oh neat okay. the chi mount do you need to have it unlocked at the gemstone person or can you just get half of the progress for simplyi completing it at gold rank

[flat yew]

In the last zone of EW right now on my lvl 90 botanist and mobs seem to be attacking me, disabling my sneak? is that supposed to happen?

[wintry trellis]

Potentially. I personally have noticed my packets are being dropped when I’m in instances regardless. This was not the case until EW launched. But I’m dropping 1-3 packets per every 50 pings. Then after congestion dies randomly I get perfect ping and no loss. So that’s potentially the case

[verbal rune]

I have a question, what difference is there between a synched and a no synched dungeon?

[faint flare]

Shared fates aren't needed

[sour rock]

nice

[river vortex]

the diadem turn ins give yellow scrips right? Can it buy gear?

[wintry trellis]

Exp and level. Synced gives full exp and will put you at the min or max level for that instance. Unsynced is usually used to glam farm dungeons or gear

[gritty oracle]

It gives white now, which works like yellow scrips used to work.

[river vortex]

ah

[sour rock]

unsynced means you likely are higher than originally intended level and therefore its easier to beat

[river vortex]

and it can buy gear anyway?

[reef quiver]

Is there no lvl 90 retainer field exploration quest?

[twilit arch]

diadem doesn't give white scrips

it gives restoration scrips

[sour rock]

if its a lvl 80 trial and its synced it means your gear and level is scaled down for the original intended values, unsynced means you should hit a lot harder and kill it faster

[river vortex]

huh

[twilit arch]

two different types of scrips and no, restoration scrips can't be used for useable gear

[wintry trellis]

^

[river vortex]

hmmm

[wintry trellis]

You do get like 6 mounts from them though so that’s pog

[river vortex]

how do you get gear then? good ol' crafting?

[verbal rune]

so right now, if I want to farm tombstones, is the lvl 90 final dungeon, the same as the other 2 dungeons?

[twilit arch]

yes

[sour rock]

or you could do hunt trains

[wintry trellis]

Crafting, marketboard, npc vendors, scrips

[sour rock]

and the daily roulettes

[boreal aurora]

is lvl70 bluegear craftable

[twilit arch]

you can buy gear with white/purple scrips

[boreal aurora]

blue one?

[wintry trellis]

Lvl 70 blu gear is more than likely from completing your spell book and the blue circus thing

[boreal aurora]

no i saw it in rhalgr reach but i dont have poetics atm

[wintry trellis]

You can use regular mage gear.

[modest igloo]

poetic gear is the standard unless you're one of those nerds like me that did eureka

[boreal aurora]

no i just want to get lvl70 gear to make carnevale easier

[river vortex]

so, i get white scrips from turning in collectables below lvl 80?

[craggy tinsel]

either the level 70 caster set or caster augmented scaevan gear would be your best bet

[twilit arch]

below 90

[craggy tinsel]

white scrips are the new yellow scrips

and purple are the new white

[river vortex]

what about the purple ones?

[twilit arch]

purple are 90

[river vortex]

ahh got it

[craggy tinsel]

purple only comes from max level, anything below is white; just as with ShB where white only comes from max, and anything below is yellow

[boreal aurora]

poetics has ilvl400 blue

[river vortex]

and the scrips are essentially tomestones of poetics for DoL/DoH?

[twilit arch]

essentially

[craggy tinsel]

if you want to look at it that way, sure

[craggy tinsel]

which would be better than the 385 crafted, yes

[boreal aurora]

yea so i just get peotics then

[leaden zinc]

hw relic quest. i did the duty roulette for leveling but didn't get the reward nor an option to turn the quest in. why would that be?

[bronze cove]

why does my ff14 say im first in que

but not change

[ionic estuary]

Can anyone share macro for second extreme?

[craggy tinsel]

did you already complete your roulette for today? they haven't reset yet - they do so in a few minutes

[twilit arch]

you need to do it 3 times

[bronze cove]

i've been waiting 10 minutes

[leaden zinc]

ah, 3 times, alright thanks

[twilit arch]

whether you've gotten your daily bonus for the day is irrelelvant

[faint flare]

You did, check your key items

You got volume 1. You need 2 and 3

[boreal tree]

Good luck freeennn. Don't give up. I just got my shiny book last weekend.

[mossy delta]

i just saw a whole cortege of characters with random default names and the same weapon right in front of castrum oriens. there were about 6 or 7 but they started teleporting away as i was taking the screenshot
what's up with them ? usually when I see something like that it's rmt ad bots but these were in a lv60 zone, why would they be there?

[wintry trellis]

Probably farming bots or hunt bots

[vivid elm]

how does fflogs work? i simply linked my character and found one of my clears for new EX1 logged there already. I thought I had to personally upload them?

[faint flare]

Someone else uploaded a log with you in it

[vivid elm]

a h

[wintry trellis]

If someone uploads a log and you’re in there with your name linked you get the log as well

[vivid elm]

that makes sense

[halcyon radish]

Why is the Augmented Deepshadow Shield not listed with the other deepshadow weapons in Eulmore?
I wanted it for glam but it's just not there, and I don't know how to get the base versions and augment them to get it either.

it's not at any of the other vendors as far as I can see

[twilit arch]

cos shield is on the armour tomestone vendor

[slate arrow]

Because it's counted as armour

[halcyon radish]

he only has crystarium and cryptlurker though

[twilit arch]

sorry deepshadow would be nuts

[halcyon radish]

fuck

I haven't messed with the hunt nuts or w/e at all

I just wanted to spend my poetics on some glamour

[proper junco]

how do i see other ppl dots on boss status?

i only see myself

[halcyon radish]

Where is said nut vendor

[twilit arch]

The one in eulmore is in the mainstay

[halcyon radish]

That's so weird, I usually never have to leave the lounging area in eulmore cus it's designed where everything is clustered in there lmao

Well I just need 40 nut sacks then.

[ionic estuary]

Can anyone share macro for second extreme?

[wintry trellis]

You mean like for a quick paste of what to do?

[ionic estuary]

yeah

quick past

[wintry trellis]

I don’t recall there being one out yet that I’ve been able to find. Most people just make their own as needed until one comes out that’s the “go-to”

[ionic estuary]

sadge

[craggy tinsel]

The current crafted gear probably won't be the strongest crafting gear for the expansion, right? Like the 560 crafter/gatherer gear won't be Endwalker's Aesthetes?

[worn flume]

no, new crafter gear comes in a few months

[twilit arch]

correct, there will be additional sets added later

[craggy tinsel]

so I assume it probably isn't worth pentamelding now then, even if I'd be using T8 materia instead of the T10 max we have rn?

[twilit arch]

we likely aren't getting new crafter gear until 6.1

[craggy tinsel]

What patch brought Aesthetes to ShB?

[slate arrow]

The one with the dwarves

[twilit arch]

if you intend to craft the gear that comes with 6.05 you should ideally be pentamelded crafted set

[slate arrow]

5.3?

[heavy wadi]

aesthetite was much later

[faint flare]

5.3 for aesthe

[craggy tinsel]

kk

so I should expect it to come around 6.3

[twilit arch]

yes

[craggy tinsel]

oh, noted, guess I'll penta anyway

does it need to be penta'd with X materia, or would VIII suffice?

I had a lot of excess white crafter scrip from leveling

[slate arrow]

honey......

[twilit arch]

its hard to say with certanity since we dont know the stats required

[slate arrow]

you're going to need a lot more than you think

[twilit arch]

but decent chance you can make do with a cheaper meld setup

[slate arrow]

also you can't Penta 8s or 10s

You got to have 7s or 9s

[craggy tinsel]

oh, I didn't know that

[twilit arch]

and yeah...can only overmeld 8/10s once

[craggy tinsel]

I've only been playing since late ShB so I don't know these things 😔

[slate arrow]

prepare to have a materia dust addiction

[craggy tinsel]

brilliant

[slate arrow]

https://youtu.be/1BuJ921s-rw

[wintry trellis]

Wise man once said, better to ask for directions, than to wander around lost

[slate arrow]

Slightly shitposty but it's true

[wintry trellis]

Valid

[craggy tinsel]

I still have two more crafters to level so if anything I'm not really upset by having spent like... 43k scrip on VIIIs lol

[noble pollen]

What totems for?

[faint flare]

Buy stuff from.tbat trial

[noble pollen]

What kind of stuff? just gear?

[faint flare]

What it drops

[twilit arch]

the totems are basically your pity assurance

[noble pollen]

Can i buy a mount?

[open coral]

Gear, and later if you collect 99 of them without ever winning the roll, the mount.

[twilit arch]

Not yet

[faint flare]

It's the pity system

[twilit arch]

mount gets added to the totems later

(assuming you're talking about current ex mount)

[olive heath]

is it possible to bind a skill to a button? or does it have to be a hotkey?

[open coral]

In what context?

Like, a mouse button?

[noble pollen]

Im not, ive done hells kier probably 200 times. My last stupid dog

[twilit arch]

Then yeah

you can buy the doggo with totems

[olive heath]

like either a mouse button or a button on the keyboard :o

[open coral]

If you've got at least 99 totems, you can buy the mount

[jade quartz]

That’s what a hotkey is

[noble pollen]

Im checking now i have 88

[open coral]

Keybinds are on the keyboard. Mouse buttons you have to map to keys on your keyboard though.

[jade quartz]

You can configure all the hotkeys on your bars to your preference

[noble pollen]

Almost there i guess:/

[jade quartz]

No you can use mouse buttons without mapping software

[hearty geode]

just quick question, how long is endwalker? i heard before it came out it was longer than shadowbringers which is around 50+ hrs so

[jade quartz]

You only need mapping software if you want to use them as modifiers like shift/ctrl/alt

[olive heath]

ok thanks

[sleek needle]

Probably around 50h too I'd say, there's probably some info about it somewhere

[compact prism]

im lvl 61 is running heaven on high faster leveling than the msq? i want to get to 70 fast

[pure copper]

thoughts on GNB vs PLD for PotD? or are they equiv basically

[hearty geode]

alr, i just didnt wanna go into the ew chats and ask cause spoilers n all

[faint flare]

Pld significantly better cause clemency

[sleek needle]

You have to do msq to progress so you might as well do msq

[modest igloo]

Equal for potd, but GNB is really good for hoh

[hearty geode]

or you can buy a skip

[pure copper]

sounds good...also, is there a potion i can bring into PotD to deal with the stupid frog/silence/physical bind traps? or do i just wait em out

[compact prism]

i mean i guess but if its slower id rather do heaven on high and Msq later, i gotta catch up to a friend

[sleek needle]

You'll still need to do msq to catch up tho, just being lv 70 doesn't mean much

[hearty geode]

i mean even if you were to level up all content would still be at your msq level so

[nimble swift]

What is the default installation path for FF14? When I attempted to download it didn't ask me for some reason.

[hearty geode]

plus i mean if you just skip your way through all text and cutscenes it doesnt take nearly as long

[compact prism]

oh thats weird okay, i'll just msq then. thank you

[sick osprey]

does direct hit affect heals ?

[sleek needle]

I wouldn't recommend skipping, unless you have 0 interest in story

[hearty geode]

yw
