can you solo lybrinth of ancients?
crafter question, what should I spend all my white scripts on? I have all the books and stuff
no
No
Undersized needs 3 people for alliance content
ah ok
@slate carbon materia to sell or use
And labyrinth needs 15 minimum to clear
materia either to stockpile for your own pentamelding needs or to sell
You can get IX for whites
Labyrinth of the ancient has a mechanic that requires 3 parties on 3 separate room
Yeah, 15 is the absolute minimum
should I just try and get a equal amount of control, craftmanship and cp meld or should I buy more of one
Craftmanship is the least important, compared to the other two
usually you want to cap CP everywhere
then get control, but crafts will have specific breakpoints which might or might not require some melds
thank you!
Example math: if you need 3x 100 synthesis to fill a 300 progress, slight increase of craftmanship will not reduce it to 2 synthesis (110 synthesis still takes 3 step to fill to 300)
like basically if some melds can get you one less synth, that's a huge save so sometimes you meld craft for that, sometimes you can get the full progress with a careful instead of something else and that saves CP, so it depends
can someone explain how boss prey attacks work?
They attack their prey
depends on the fight it's not a consistent mechanic
hmm
Prey = target
usually it's just shitting on the target so healers have to keep that target alive
Target for what mechanic, well you gotta figure that out for yourself
Once more mechanic markers get introduced as you go through arr patches and beyond prey is usually paired with a target reticle
does overhealing as a warrior give me aggro?
where do i buy level 80 gear with poetics?
Any healing generates aggro
how do i get my reaper ilvl up im only 426
And you are level...
80
Cryptlurker
Cryptlurker in crystarium/Eulmore
uhhh is there something wrong, ive been in queue 9 for like 10 minutes?
for the game or a dungeon?
So this Sylph in the MSQ wants me to /examineself. I've done the command a bunch of times in different positions near the sylph with myself targeted and without... and it's not advancing. Any suggestions?
it might? but that shouldnt even be an issue when you generate 6 time the aggro of anyone else as a tank
for the queue to get in
in the game or in a dungeon?
sometimes it just sits at one number for a while, I think it updates in big batches
the game
Is there a highlighted area to do the emote at?
ah finally in, what i was saying is that my queue had been sitting at position 9 for like 15 minutes and i was confused.
if I need help for an Endwalker mechanic with spoilers, where should I ask safely?
thank you
There is not, finally got it though. You have to target the sylph while doing the command. Counterintuitive, but whatever. Thanks!
so is this that square enix issue i saw on the news page
Im having the same issue as well
Just got kicked and from queue now this also.
Best thing to spend white crafter scrips on atm?
well they better give us another 7 days soon
why are we getting this
Got that error too just now after being kicked from queue. Spent 10 minutes or so at position 1.
Login server down, or overloaded

@neon hedge i was at 14 :/

@warm snow I didnt see anyone ranting? i saw people bringing up an issue

Looks like it

A technical error has occurred

i just got that
I got booted with an authentication issue
😔 what a way to end my 2 hours of progging
Just a question, is there any place that's good to meet people on your data centre? I was just thinking it could be nice to be able to get to know people cause in game chat is normally really quiet
This happened to everyone
Just got that error myself too
Or almost everyone
What is going on today
Maybe weird question, but I forgot my Square Enix ID, probably password and idk if i set questions good when I was registering, Is FFXIV Support good enought to help me gain acces to my account? What you think? :p

It is an emergency, just not an emergency maint
are having issues
Ooooh. My hotmail accounts crapped out on my iphone about 30 minutes ago. Seemed like server things on their side as well. I wonder if servers are down somewhere due weather?
next free week when
Spamming the chat just means we're gonna get a 9th repost any second
Maybe a cross dimensional portal open up in Manhattan, and people from alternative timeline are invading ours
RIP login server lol
what is this error? https://i.imgur.com/IiOt7pd.jpeg
Everyone is getting fucked
Anyone getting error 7223? Seems new
Not just you
Everyone is getting it I think :[
Everyone is getting fucked, not just you
can you login the game and mogstation?
Small indie company lol
I checked the subreddit and it's being talked about from there too
Apparently it is not just SE
SE seems to be bugged
And there it is
oh, amybe something with the AWS crash earlier today? no idea if they use them lol
summary on current issue going on rn?
My theory: Maybe a cross dimensional portal open up in Manhattan, and people from alternative timeline are invading ours
And you know, they literally can't get more hardware and numbers are above what would have been projected 2 years from now
I thought my account is banned,so scaring
free week when
felt; i did the water bottle on keyboard trick earlier and i was like 
Everyone is getting fucked over, not just you
Yeah i don't buy that one.
Please no the queue in NA is already long enough not more people
Where can i get precision gordian bolts?
Good for you #rants is over there
problem is that ppl who runs ff14 and endwalker update and they knew it would be overloaded with ppl and if you have read before the early access they warned us this but never explained this type
what is happening?
6 hrs in que!
Use Garlandtools (website) to check
i get kicked :<
so they knew problem would have arise and did nothing and not even hold back and im very very annoyed
Everyone did
Didn't they said that they want to buy more server, but they can't?
They did everything they could, but there's limits. People. Literally can't get the hardware
Drop the subject.
what i mean hold back and they could have pushed back till they got more servers
Not they won't buy, but they can't buy
Anyone knows what happened?
Everyone getting fucked over
Login server broke
everybody just joined discord to ask the same thing xD
Ok cool I thought my launcher broke on ps5 bc the message is only in Japanese
h dang
nobody can loggin
@warped nest ty so much
Multi lingual, but probably only shown the Japanese portion on your end
?_<
fak I just got home from work and wanted to play
i been in que for 6hrs
@final geode I blame blizzard for not trying hard enough to pry players off XIV
So what's this, 12 times right
this happened before today?
Do I hear 13
Nah, people reposting the same image instead of actually checking the chat
they pried me off
I lost count, all I know is people don't even bothered to look up
Ey, Guess I'm here to add to the screenshots!? XD
I read getting this 3 times in a row can lock you out. Should I just wait before trying again? 2nd time now.
HELP
14
well that means once they are back up then a new larger que gee thx very much
15
lol I guess I'm not the only one
Lol, Kat
sorry but if im ranting but sorry folks
friend at least
#rants is for that
I just got that error and I was literally less than 50 away in the queue after waiting for over 2 hours in a 3k plus queue.......
Login server broke
We understand the frustration, we genuinely do
RIP servers
No, 6.1 which doesn't have a date
Ishgard is 6.1 IIRC
Ah, So they probably just shut them down for emergency maintenance
@warm snow aren't you on 17?
really? I thought - oh. uh, then wait what is the 6.1 on tuesday?
They announce that if that happens
Just now you counted 2 when 3 screenshot pop up
we don't have date for 6.1 yet
OHHHH. well ._. sigh long ways away but i'll take it I suppose.
Tuesday is raid release. The first raid tier is 6.0X
Normal raids specifically
They stagger the raid release to let everyone enjoy the story first
Stagger longer plz
High end won't be til January
And get used to the jobs
And give the balancing team more data
Can anyone else login, I keep getting this error " A technical issue has occurred please try login into the site again" happens on client and on the site
ty for letting me know! don't need to stress yet to get one- or attempt to get one.
you can stop counting now, kat
I keep trying to login but this keeps happening, any reason why?
Not your fault
cuz it broke
Sigh
Everyone is getting thaf
ahh ok
Ditto what I said just now
Quick make a bot have an auto reply
Server broke
Oh
got worried I was locked out
Not your fault, don't worry
Any chance we can disable images here temporarily to reduce spam?
Just got it too
Nah, people are just worried
-_-
Let them be
what's the tier list of Jobs atm
!faq meta
!faq ewbalance
We cannot meaningfully discuss or draw major conclusions about Endwalker job balance for a number of reasons:
-
The currently available gear is too limited/inconsistent, and future gear’s mainstat/substat distribution may affect balance.
-
Patch 6.05 will likely hold extensive job changes, just like 5.05 did (see: https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/topics/detail/b6083dbda4e9497698b64163ffc8cee52472b81a)
-
The current sample size of recorded runs and quality of data is not sufficient to eliminate variance in player skill, equipment, party composition, killtime and limited encounter design.
-
While basic rotations have been theorycrafted and simulated, optimal rotations are dependent on encounter design and party makeup. Some have yet to be discovered. These are all things that influence job balance, and can change with Savage even if current potencies remain.
-
Preliminary data is often misinterpreted and spread, causing more in harm than good.
Job balance is better left for approximately 1 month after Savage release, since there are more recorded runs, better gearing options + BiS sets, and fight designs are known.
Any current definite claims about job balance are at worst clickbait or pure speculation, and at best educated guesstimates that are subject to change as available information changes.
There isn't one, nor will there be one
there's none
Samurai is apparently very good
Tiers aren’t real
I was in the middle of que too
For now
And that's all that matters, thank you
@leaden ginkgo bruh no raid tier is out how do you expect a tier list . Extremes aren't parse worthy
https://gyazo.com/6074af2738c9a9d4d2f4ee0505a697b9 well this is new. Anyone know what to do if you get something like this?
Please take note that the jobs will get constant adjustments
Scroll up
Server down
Everyone has this, dw
For real?!?!?!
job fun tier? 🤔
Oh wow what's going on! 😮
Subjective
bard S tier imo
Fun is very subjective
Y'all broke the login servers
I'm IN!
I thought the same thing
Everyone has the same issue, not your fault, don't worry
Does Monk/Pugilist change a lot at certain level? im 36 and i don't enjoy the forms thing.
you logged in?
Feel free to copy that if needed
Oh. I got past the login screen. Errored out when trying to join server. 😛
ay is everyone else gettting that message
is mogstation down?
Man I was so close to finally logging on after a huge queue lol whyyyyy
@leaden ginkgo nope, high level jobs build on their low level skills
mog is down to
yeah i checked
@outer plank yeah
Thank you
!action demolish
Delivers an attack with a potency of 70 . 130 when executed from a target's rear.
Can only be executed when in coeurl form.
Additional Effect: Damage over time
Potency: 70
Duration: 18s
Additional Effect: Changes form to opo-opo
Duration: 30s
man i was 304 in q
Monk will get more toys, but it will still have forms and stances combos
Yeah you have the guts of your main combos by 36
Has there been any announcements on it?
the mog station will never go down, they make too much money XD
No perfect balance yet
It's been like 10 minutes of spam
Take note that monk gets Chakra super early now
Ye but perfect balance is its new main mech
Level 36 monk is pretty much, two thirds of monk
Mudra style combos
don't have dragon kick until 50 though
Perfect balance still build on the form, so if they don't like form
It is highly unlikely that they'd change their mind with perfect balance
I'll give it a chance until i finish heavensward Thanks for info.
That's a very good idea
yeah if you don't like MNK at 36, you won't like MNK at 90, cause it's more or less the same class all the way
Have fun
Guys im freaking out, I just got technical issued and now I cant login, did I get banned or something?
See above
What can i do?
Everyone is getting it, ur fine
I get in after waiting a couple hours in queue, finish one cutscene in the final area of EW and suddenly get disconnected
Okay good
Everyone is getting the same issue, not your fault, don't worry
Wait for the servers to come back
Anyone else keep getting this error? I've been trying for ages but to no avail 😦
Sorry for the spam
i clicked world then relogged. got to start menu then this error i got this time. so its authenication server down
servers down
it'll be ok.
Everyone is having the same issue, not your fault, don't worry
either way its authenication server which is down atm
Wish discord had a banner pin system where a message would be permanently visible at the top of a channel
help
That would be perfect for moments like this
So i must wait that the servers start
same
Not on top of the channel, on top of the text input
what happened? just got disconnected
I need to kill davadipa 😦
We're definitely over 20
Too bad
Everyone is having the same issue, not your fault, don't worry
The You’re not alone faq
authentication server down atm
oh
You can't do anything on your end now
Is this related to the news on the lodestone? It says that the issue is fixed though
i get 90002'd at least once every day for the past week now wtf
Is Mog Station down? o-o"
I saw that too, but that was at like 1am.
Yes
This started to happened like 15 minutes ago
Now I wish I didn't need to send an email to support lol... I shoulda checked here lol
Looks like they've taken lodestone down for maintenance too
so what do we do
Sit and wait
Go outside, touch grass
but it's hailing
i am still getting errors, how is it resolved?
Then wear a helmet while you embrace the plant life
i think we must wait
You don't do anything on your end
I can't log-in to the game to 
That was hours ago, different issue
my mom says I should wear a helmet too
You wait for them to fix it on their end first
it's on their end so we have to wait
we know
Everyone is getting this too, not your fault, don't worry
Yes.
Scroll up
Yeah. Glad I'm not alone
So yeah that was 14 hours ago five or take
ah man I just got it as well
Not sure if it applies here but I read of people getting locked out trying to login multiple times when it gives out that error. Best not to keep trying.
Most likely answer is the login server itself is down
Not your fault, don't worry
for proof it's also not just the launcher being Internet Explorer
I mean its normal new addon xD
This is most likely unrelated
And just a login server issue 
ayup does anyone know what to do 😦
Anyone else unable to log into their square enix account due to a technical error?
Server kek'd, not just you
server broke
omg lol
Not your fault, don't worry
me too
I got it too 😦
Yeah that's the one. I keep getting that, even at mogstation
Nothing to do but wait.
We gotta have nearly 30 of this image by mow
kek
welp
dont log out then kat
lucky I got kicked out my dungeon run when it happened
Anyone know what armor the Hrothgar is wearing?

So there's nothing to do but wait then.
exarchic coat of fending
Yes
Server brokey
Too bad Square Enix's support number is closed for the day...
It's a shared model from the level 77 dungeon I believe
lmao im sure they know
Huh? That doesn't look like the Exarchic coat of fending
so guys
same model
yall im sure square is panicking rn
we are in the endgame now
how long till the servers are fixed?
itll be fixed soon
Yes™️
hopefully
the problem will be fixed when it's fixed
!iglam exarchic coat of fending
guys give them a break its a great game and a lot more players just started playing
Definitely the same model
it's dyed
it's just dyed black
disappointed cause i got home to play ffxiv ASAP since my schedule is so tight
the exodus from the unnamed game
Huh. crazy.
but yk this is fine im patient and ive got other things to do too
Cest la vie
Thisll be a while more than likely
just because you insinuated it I have to go back and farm a stupid item now
ihu
I'll run some extra fates just for you
Glad I transferred over to JP datacenter before Endwalker temporarily
Just want to do story I'll raid when queues are fixed
the final days are truly upon us
why must be that issue when davadipa is like 90%
Nothing on official twitter
when its 70 or 60% idk okay than i understand it but not at 80 90% 0.0
how long has this been happening
Bout 20 mins
Not too long
~20 mins
i had it since 10 minutes
According to twitter
Oh thats why i cant find any info on it
It's a starlight celebration miracle!
it just happened
also remember to not spam your login or you'll get locked out
Hello, I was tryng to log in Mogstation and I got this error, "A technical issue has occurred. Try accessing the site again. If the issue still has not been resolved, please contact the Square Enix Support Centre."
least 40mins or so
See above
were all like you
how long does that usually last? I'm not sure if I tried logging in 3+ times before I read that
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
forces you to reset your password in the worst case
I thought restarting would fix it oof 
OFFICIAL TWITTER SENT OUT A RESPONSE
which, good luck if you dont remember your account details
I tried resetting my pass
Check FFXIV_EN
Odds are any penalty will have expired by the time this is fixed
We're receiving reports of players being unable to log in, or failing to log in, using their Square Enix accounts. While we don't yet know the full scale of the issue, we are currently investigating it. #FFXIV
Yes!
Time to switch to spamming check the pins
Yeah we all are

You're not funny
this is ff14 way to ask you to take a break lol
📌
What's easiest range/caster dps that have easy rotation and also easy on my hands (carpal tunnel syndrome) no burst (or require fast reaction) yet has mobility and good dps and able to solo well to 90 but also want to able to progress easy and forgiving (No DNC/MCH pls) ?
rdm
RDM
actually new summoner, kinda
It suits that quite well.
Rdm still has a good amount of weaving
didn't you ask that yesterday?
Not fan of weaving
more basic caster that that there isn't
Smn, i don't have at 90 so can't say for sure
RDM no contest
RDM is quite versatile too tho Drakeos
Blm, I don't play enough of
yah new summoner seems pretty easy now
SMN is way easier than RDM
smn doesn't has a easy rotation compared to rdm

any1 geting this error
Veraise and vercure comes in handy, and rotation is braindead.
Check the pins
Hmmm so SMN then
It’s gonna happen
goodbye
I am in
I've been here since it started, Wynne made me stop counting reposted images
SMN absolutely has an easy rotation? it's 2buttons, and every 30secs the 2 buttons are 2 other buttons for 10secs
speaking of SMN i just looove the drama in ff14 forum, people said now they kicking out smn from party because.... they weak? what? 
@ me if there's problems or if someone is in need of a mute
RIP EU
for DoH job quests, go i have to craft the items it asks between level 50-60? Cuz it specifically says "Synthesize" or "Craft", idk if it counts if i just buy it from MB
please use the role lounges for job discussion
and NA as well not only EU
and like, try not to spam this chat, i know it's turned into ffxiv disucssion 2 again
it was a question
They're the same thing
It's a general statement, not just a single person
So I’m trying out SMN but the game isn’t letting me assign Summon Phoenix to my hot bar, any help?
i know, but does it count if i buy if from mb?
Yes
phoenix replaces bahamut
dreadwyrm trance turns into bahamut turns into phoenix after bahamut
Oh
You notice the tool tip where it says it can't be assigned to your hotbar?
Its not on summon phoenix but its on the other skills
anything you can't assign to a hotbar is something that replaces something else
Is the login server still borked?
But I get it kinda
New Summoner has a lot of conditional skills
Summoner good?
define good
Peak
Aaron wants tier lists
every job is good from a technical standpoint

what?

We have one, one of the new ninja skills is meant to be an ogcd
the 2nd raijin?
What would be the best AoE dps? Bard? BLM?
It doesn't matter
I hear that dps is more crucial than ever now due to increased damage output from enemies, is that right?
its on ff4 dps role forum, people are complaining now smn got kicked out from party on "hard" raid or something, it has reach 10+ pages lmao
Oh wdym
aoe DPS is basically an irrelevant number, I don't think anyone tried to measure it, should be more or less about the same
I was about to ask
Ah
I see, ook
Aoe dps is suuuuper irrelevant
there's no M+ dungeon in XIV, so aoe is worthless

Which Scrip vendor has the highest ilvl botany gear?
Because its almost never used in any actual high end content
all of them
I'm capped and have 1 last Levequest to turn in :3
just the purple scrip exchange
oh, are they all the same?
as of 6.0 yes
oh nice, so there's no point in the 3 different houses or whatever?
anyone know how to fix the Japanese login error on ps4?
You have to go unlock the higher levels of purchases

heyo whats this?
Ffs
Thanks.
OH MY just @ me if there's problems
everyone's been getting it
i give up
Lmao
ah i see
I came in to ask, but I can look back in chat

like, unlock with just 1 house? does each house have different levels?
@slate arrow a fucking miracle happened
imute @warm snow 1s
are the servers do-

Each unlocks different stuff for each level cap
!faq scripunlock
Unlocking scrips (Foundation x10, y10.)
Unlocking Idyllshire's House of Splendors (Mor Dhona 22, y6)
Unlocking Rhalgr's Reach House of Splendors (Rhalgr's Reach x10, y12)
Unlocking Eulmore's House of Splendors (Eulmore at x11, y10, on the top floor)
Every expac has a scrip vendor unlock
Missing the Radz-at-Han one, but that’s near their aetheryte
I did all those, so I unlocked all of it?
Yep
If you also did the radz one
https://i.imgur.com/qDd1AWY.png this says I'm 2k/2k, but the Scrip Exchange vendor says 0? D:
oh it's a diff icon, where do I exchange them
you click on gatherer scrips
ohhh wrong thing lmao my bad
launcher is up for some people
Question about name changing: i've been trying for days using the link on the mog station, and every time, it says its unavailbale due to site maintenance. any clue when it becomes available again?
Disabled for now due to server congestion
Does Radz give 90 scrip gear?
I see. Thanks!
you can buy 90 scrip gear from any of the house of splendors once you've unlocked the radz-at-hans' one
Scrips seem pretty ez to get - is it worth buying lvl 80 Scrip gear for Botany if I'm just gonna replace it at 90?
90 scrip gear is purple scrips, white scrips is only old expansion+materias/materials etc
oh okay, so use all my white ones, 90 is a diff currency
Totally unrelated question to what everyone else is asking - if you don't pick the first map you gather, can you reroll for a new one? I'm trying for the expensive HW ones and don't want the Wyv ones
also yeah you'd want to buy it to lvl to 90 anyway
yes can go to different nodes to try and get the map you want
I'm doubting that's viable now tbh
cooldown only starts when you gather one, just keep opening nodes to find the map you want(you don't have to gather anything either, just open, no map, close and go next, faster that way unless you need the mats)
Are there any crafting/gathering jobs that aren't really worth doing?
No
Thanks!
Well fish is a bit independent
Culinarian is very isolated from the rest too
But it's also the best gatherer and is still needed for cul and some alc
Fisher you can literally ignore and just go ocean fishing for a few days
Ye but cul is arguably still used by all jobs
Okay, apparently some of the login servers are back up
where do i make a new retainer?
Try your luck and try not to break anything
Retainer npc
and does it matter which city i make it in?
No
ty
Actually what does fishing give? I dunno much about it
Fish
fish?
Billing Question, does this mean it'll just automatically deduct Crysta from my account if my sub ends?
Fish is usually vendor junk, with some as crafting materials
I can't seem to just buy 30 days immediately now from Mog Station 🤔
Yes
Oh lmfao so it's just fish. Alright, I just didn't think lol
So if I have 1499 Crystal, that means I'm good and not at risk of getting randomly kicked out in the game, right?@obsidian patio
Yep
Some other fish desynth into weird fucking shit
Ok. Thankyou. I was wondering if something bad happened.
One of the ShB fish desynth into a tianbrozne raising hammer ffs
How big is a full stack? 999?
yep
Yes
Yes
question about smn (still new at smn), so when i press aether charge, the carbuncle icon on my trance gauge lit up and give 15 seconds
15 seconds to what exactly? does it do something?
One HW fish turns into the crafted Thordan WHM weapon

What the fuuuuuck
It’s called the Archbishop 
Why was thordan sticking his rod in a fucking fish
It’s a saintly fish
Or wait it would have been that prick on the top of the vault
Sickness must be purged
anyone?
what effect?
Read aethercharge
15 seconds of carby stance, it's more important later on when you get access to stuff like bahamut and phoenix since you have moves you can only execute in carby stance
Grants Aethercharge, increasing the potency of Ruin, Ruin II, and Ruin III by 50, and Outburst by 20.
Duration: 15s
Additional Effect: Grants Ruby Arcanum, Topaz Arcanum, and Emerald Arcanum Can only be executed in combat and while Carbuncle is summoned.
So how does SMN get aether charges if the aether charge move just turns to summon Baha/Phoenix, and form what I’m seeing they don’t give me aether charges?
my smn still at level 19, so that 15s duration is for later level?
Then what does aether charge say now?
do you mean aetherflow? energy drain as before
it gives 15secs of 50potency to ruin and 20potency to outburst
only grant aethercharge and increase potency of ruin and ruin 2 by 50, outburst by 20, thats it
What kind of materia is good for astrologian from order of most useful to least?
is there a way to move the duty action button/window?
It's more important when it becomes Dreadwyrm Trance/Summon Bahamut
OOOOH whoops my bad lol
For 15s the same duration as the bar
Spell Speed/Piety to desired/preferred amounts > crit > Det
so basically during that 15s duration my ruin skill potency is increase by 50?
Also you're skipping job quests if you don't have at least one more effect
Sorry to ask but since coming back just days before EW early access dropped, I've only just realised they removed exp from trash mobs in dungeons...Are dungeons still worth it to run for exp up to 61 for my alts before I go to HoH to 70 and SHB fates -> EW fates after?
All the trash mob exp is on the bosses now
All dungeon EXP is now backloaded into boss mobs
How do you define "preferred" exactly?
the GCD or MP Regen you want
Piety is basically a “if you find yourself running out of MP” stat
Meld the minimum needed for you to not feel like it’s always too low
Are ALL the monsters in the dungeon loaded onto bosses? Like if I'm talking about certain skippable trash mobs - does skipping them then result in lesser boss exp?
Ah right, sorry I just also realised I made my question into 2 contradictory parts. Gotcha clearly! Thanks, back to dungeon grinding it shall be 
Are the servers back up?
Gotcha I wonder how long imma have to wait again I was in a 3k queue wait and there was less than 50 and it crashed 😅
so thats it? aethercharge active = 15 second to... "lockdown" the ruby topaz and emerald? so basically after aethercharge active the game give me another 15s waiting before i can use the 3 gem icon?
15s burst then your actual summons
Like I said, it's more important later on when you get Bahamut
That's how summoner works
oh its for later level then?
It's the same, it just gets stronger
iam sitll at level 19, so right now, it didnt do anything
The basic rotation is the aame
Right now it's a "grant you ruby, topaz and emerald" carbuncle Legos
It's a 15s damage buff
That gives you your summons
damage buff, you mean the ruin potenty increase by 50 etc etc
Ye
how do i find out percentages for my stats? any guide ive looked at in the balance disc mentions them but the character menu doesnt show any of that as far as im aware
More potency = more damage
ooh ok, i though that potential increase is like 1 skill usage only
That's how the game works
Then why would it need to last 15 seconds
Look at your stats and find x percent of that number...?
The technical issue is resolved. See you all online!
because when i active the aethercharge my ruin tooltip potency is still at 270, thats why i though it didnt do anything
That's a tooltip
Those are static
there's an alt job lvl guide here, detailing which floors of dungeon is best for farming. So i leave the dungeon after i leave these floors or what
Updating them for every little damage change from any buff would be a massive waste of time
Okay maybe Im dumb, but how do you unlock the epic of alexander and whatever it is that you get the glowy sword in omega ?
If you mean deep dungeon, the 51-60 or 21-30
If you mean actual dungeons, you run the whole thing
Deep dungeons
Ditching midway is just being a dick to the other 3 people
How are the questions in crystal now? (balmung)P
No
What do you mean?
The glowing omega sword I assume youre talking about is an emote from a physical statue
Alexander is unlocked by beating titan savage in Eden raid zeries
Im thinking of the DRK one that is light blue and has similar aura of TEA? So is that from a statue?
Thats the one 
That's from uwu
This is from uwu, a different ultimate from beating the 8th omega savage raid
Sorry, meds make me forget stuff really easily so names arent my stuff
can we not use reaper enshroud in bozja unless ur reaper is 80 outside of it?
You have to unlock it from job quests
Gotcha ty, how do you unlock that?
Literally in the message you replied to
!faq contentunlock
Oj
Need to do job quest to get it
Omega is stormblood content
I didnt understand what you meant haha
Excuse me lmao, its 3am
But thanks, much appreciated 
#kupo-bot-spam aaron
@faint flare fudge, thank
anyone knwo where to exchange cracked anthrocluster?
Is there a good spot to buy right side high ilvl Botany gear?
Or am I fine with just left side scrip gear? I'm 80 and like 1700 gathering so I feel like it should last me to 90 lol
Near the Materia melders in Sharlayan and Radz-at-Han
thanks!
Hi, i cant remove actions from my bars
Cant make my lil lock appear
Can someone help me find my lock?
I don't think you can hide it? it's next to your bar 1 though not on every bar
@pallid pawnIf you have enough allowance you can just power level your way through to 90.
allowance?
You were right, I had it hidden.
Thanks!
just use white scrip gear
including right side
is there scrip gear for right side? I only found left side D:
grrrr let me look harder
you're not looking at the right gear
check the i500 ones
its in your journal, if you have enough you can kinda power level your way easy with leve quest. got to 90 from 80 without buying any gear from 80
scrip gear is basically free though and it's enough stats to do collectables to 90 without the tedium of leves, although ymmv I guess
leves are fun! They just take forever if you are undergeared :D and missing out on a lot of bonus xp
Allo is login still fked
it's less than 2000scrips for a full i500 set at 80 and it'll let you gather everything in EW easily besides the folklore 1star stuff
sheesh even with just left side I had 100% chance at level 80 stuff xD ( i just hit 80 )
looks like i'll save scrips stuff for other profs :3
the gathering/perception lvl affects the chance to get it r ight?
and gatherer's boon and stuff is based on area or something?
Idk, why don't you check
when raids come out next week, which gear will be outdated (tome gear, ex1, ex2)?
Tome
Works for me
But barely
all of it? normal drops 580 i think right?
ah yeah tome is 570, ex is 580
ahh
So if you've been doing EXs, only armor is obsolete
what is the rate then you would say per week for gear if capped
like id only get 1-2 gear per week for left side
Tf are you on about, rate?
it takes more than 1 token per piece of gear tho
Assuming they do it like Eden in SHB, then loot tables might look like this
ye idk how many tokens gear costs so
!faq edenloot
body/legs is 4, other left is 2, accs 1
thanks
so you get 1 body/leg per week, or 2 boots/helm/gloves
shouldn't bother with accs since EX 1 drops them

also you get a weapon token for the last floor once a week, and you'll need... a certain amount for the tome weapon, used to be 7 but not sure if it'll still be 7
7
Reduction doesn't come til much later
And tome weapons still cost 1k
Which is 3 weeks of tomes
but they said bla bla bla weapons costs etc
I'm almost level 40 and haven't really sold any materials or equipment from my inventory. Should I be vendoring everything, or is there something better to do with the stuff from ARR?
Nah tome weapons will be 500 now
The new limited tome weapons?
yeah that's why I'm not sure it'll be 7 still, and not just 4 right away, but we'll see
Everyone told me normal side quests are not worth doing (boring design,small rewards), is this true?
Mostly
Some outliers
what's the emote that's like converse but it loops?
As a general tip, if the item has a Shop Selling Price less than 200, it’s probably worthless on the marketboard.
Yellow quests are more fun after msq
every area from SB on has 2 questlines where the quests have pictures on them, and these have a somewhat relevant story, and often are required for beast tribe unlocks later on if there's one in the zone
Are there level 80+ Leve quests? I don't see anything new in Radz outside of the Scrip shop
But since there’s over 800 MSQ quests now…
I use them for leveling up alt DPS jobs between queues, it's not the best way but when you find one of the chains they normally tell a very good story. Outside of that they typically won't worth doing unless you just like removing the markers from the world.
leves are in sharlayan
pog
I do but seems like lost game time to me, thanks
Is there a condition to unlock the level 40 and 50 routine missions for squadrons? I only got up to lvl35
For 50, you need to have done 5 different dungeons with your squadron
I've already done 5 dungeons with them
were they all different dungeons? Or the same one 5 times?
Oh, I don't remember how many, so it needs to be different ones then
i did the sleeping princess sidequest because i wanted to see the end of it but thats it really
Wait you said routine missions
yep, 5 unique dungeons
Yeah, those
It’s just the 40 and 50 flagged mission
And I get those by doing 5 different dungeons with squadrons?
It looks like you’ve already done the first one, seeing how you have more than 50k seals
You sure you’re not a GC captain?
if you finish a wondrous tail but forget to turn it in that week, does that impact your ability to get another one on weekly reset?
I believe so
No, you can still get that week’s WT
you can? But I've turned in on Tuesday before and she didn't give me a new one
Was that a previous week’s?
yes
Issues my Que since Dec 10 been from 9-10k
Are Guildhests ever worth doing or are they completely useless
also, is there an easy way to tell if you already have an orchestration roll from a dungeon before u roll on it?
Nope

look at your orchestrion list
Unless it’s unique, because then you wouldn’t be able to roll
guildhests seems like a nice roulette for some additional leveling xp
They aren’t
do u not get a daily roulette bonus for em?
Like 1000 exp
oh rip
People use it to farm commends
so theyre basically just for the 1st time completion?
your Orchestrion list is in your logs. Ctrl+o is the default shortcut to open it. There's a search feature from there
ahhh i see
Is there no market board in Radz-at-Han?
is there a site that gives optimal materia/any other augments at max level for a class?
Is there a survival manual for 80+ and how do I get it? (for botany)
no, end game hubs never have marketboards
old sharlayan is the city with the marketboard for endwalker
lore wise that's kinda backwards...the MAJOR TRADING CITY has no marketboard while the isolationist island nation does...
Yeah it can be weird
welcome to MMO's :D - blizzard does the smae thing
no auction house in Shatt in TBC, no auction house in Oribos in SL..
blizzard doesn't care as much about lore
I do wish they add some in Radz, Idleshire, etc.
lore wise, rowena probably wouldn't have as easy of a time selling her tomestone trade in sharlayan
but game play wise its done intentionally to spread out the player base
Yeah
Like how in EW, the lv 80 quest line is super super long
Because it's split in two parts, done the same way in ShB
Since if all the players swarm to a single zone it hurts the servers
anyone can recommend a "slow" dps class? another friend of mine decide to try this game but he's kinda slow on reflex, so something like MNK and NIN is probably out of question
summoner
DRG?
BLM
smn most braindead easy class now
BLM is super slow, but super gigabrain
You don't need to be fast on BLM, but your brain need to be able to quickly calculate complicated math stuff on the fly
BLM slow in terms of casts but requires a lot of knowledge of the fights and mechanics etc to not lose uptime because of how long casts are
blm do play like turret... that work i guess, how about mele?

Yeah... BLM is probably the job that requires the most amount of high speed thinking to play
Probably DRG
yeah was thinking that too, aside from the weaving, drg is pretty much straightforward
MNK may give it a run for its money
isnt monk kinda fast? with all that gcd trait
BLM is movement control, MNK is high speed rotation control with its gcd optimization with perfect balance
I see, I didn't know that
it also depends entirely on person to person. a person who finds BLM easy as hell may find MNK imposslbe to play and vice-versa
I always thought MNK was just that funky melee job
do i get something if i encounter/reported a bug ?
his mmo experience is wow and bdo, and he tend to just spam 2 or 3 skill over and over, forgetting that he has other skill lol
Hmmm.... Try healer?
isnt that kinda bad? he's going to have bad time when going with random party lol
Not really
i mean, sure he can try i guess
Normal aka Casual healing is pretty chill
It's mostly the thought that "If you mess up everyone dies" that's there
Also if you mess up everyone will notice
Wait can I do leves multiple times??
Yes, they are designed to be spamed
yes
oh what the fuck i've been levelling manually after lmfao jesus
thats the point of leves lol
okay so this is bis bis bis for levelling to 90 huh
No, first flame lieutenant
Allowances are only used for levels right?
But yeah, as a DPS, even if you mess up people generally don't notice, like a BLM dropping Enochain repeatedly, people ain't even gonna notice unless they parse
Even parsers often don't notice
But as a healer... when you mess up and half the party dies... everyone notices
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1N9xuu58vLTMyfMgucL7dWGZYcIPlET6nBw3msVg9wdg/edit#gid=781415745 not sure if rietty's going to update for 6.0 changes but should largely still be useful
Home
Rietty's Leve Guide & Resource Sheet
Shadowbringers (Patch 5.3): Level 70 to 80 DoH/DoL. (UNDER CONSTRUCTION FOR 6.0 UPDATE)
Hi! This is a quick sheet for the leve items needed for getting the various DoH/DoL from 70 to 80, including easier leves, facet quests and collectible information. ...
eh i just suggest him blm then, i mean spamming fire 4 and blizz 4 should be "at home" for him
Yeah, minor problem is that BLM kinda don't function unless you use most of the toolkit
when i finish Heavensward, max lvl (60, im on free trial). To not waste my sub time i thought to max lvl (60) every job, so i would spend less sub time on grinding them, is this a stupid idea?
But should be fine
if you wanna like.. min max.. i guess? but you're probably only gonna play a few
Not really...? It's your time, just do what you think it's fun
is GNB still the highest dps tank?
yeah ^ if you value that htne go for it, but I would jump off a bridge doing the same content on 20 chars before doing new content with end game waiting ^^
No, DRK currently is for 6.00
this is for crafting class right? for combat class i mean, kidna bored with spamming dungeon
Subject to change on Dec 21
combat leves dont exist for 70+
I also thought about that...thanks
aw
what does htne mean?
use fates or bozja if you have that unlocked to level
fate give decent exp now? i though it was kinda bad
then*
Is login up yet?
just a really really cursed "then"
fates have been decent exp, with the bonus fates and forlon/maiden they're fairly more decent
for me, it works
Then you need to do the command missions
Kk
Alright thanks, I'll do that someday to reach captain
Which one of these is Summoner? heard people talk about summoner here.
arcanist
Thanks!
so what would be 1st 2nd 3rd 4th tank dps?
DRK, GNB, WAR, PLD
is the 50/60/70/80 dungeon roulette worth doing for exp?
i am rank 2 in the area, but i don't have map to increase map speed?
it's pretty terrible xp so no, only for poetics
thought so, thanks
are you trying to purchase from the vendor in that zone?
wrong area
it needs to be in zone?
yes
yes
ok
what roulettes are worth doing for exp other than leveling and main scenario, or is it just those 2
frontlines and alliance roulette
How do I get Survival Manuals for Botany for lvl 80+?
alliance/frontlines, and trial/raid are usually ok-ish since they go fast although not much xp
trials is also ok to do, since its quick and easy usually
there's no new manuals, use the 80 ones
cool thanks
What exp buffs can I use in zadnor? Food, fc, earrings, etc. ?
best way to level 46-49
