questions-and-help

[hard aurora]

what does gift of eternity entail?

[solemn jewel]

You should have ironworks by now

[leaden ginkgo]

Get through sahagin base

Stop them from summoning leviathan

[hard aurora]

ah yea

[solemn jewel]

Please get the augmented ironworks monk set

[hard aurora]

ironworks will do the trick

[leaden ginkgo]

I read about that but I don’t have the materials, these Allagan things are impossible to get

[hard aurora]

from revneents tol

[leaden ginkgo]

Dungeons give like 12, you need 600 for a weapon

[solemn jewel]

You get a lot when doing roulettes

[leaden ginkgo]

What is that

[solemn jewel]

Otherwise your lvl 50 job gear

Just anything but aurum gear

[solemn jewel]

Open the dutyfinder, first page has the roulettes

[leaden ginkgo]

It says leveling and main scenario

22 minute wait time what the hell

[solemn jewel]

Ur a dps that's normal

[hard aurora]

perhaps i would ask what is currently overwhelming you in the quest

is it too many npc’s?

[leaden ginkgo]

Lol you saying if I played a healer it would be faster

[solemn jewel]

Yes

[leaden ginkgo]

Too many enemies pop up

[hard aurora]

no yes healers have like

instant queue or something

[leaden ginkgo]

Well I’m currently trying to level lancer

Should’ve gone healer instead lmao

[hard aurora]

@leaden ginkgo how has taking them on one at a time been like, instead of using your aoe?

arms length and bloodbath will help

[solemn jewel]

Tbf if they're using aurum vale gear in post arr a single sahagin could be too much

[leaden ginkgo]

I try, but the non msq enemies start attacking and more just spawn out of nowhere

I die too fast

[leaden ginkgo]

Yeah I think so too

So I just need to find better armour, but where is the question

[hard aurora]

hmm

can i see your character sheet

[leaden ginkgo]

Where’s the ironworks you were talking about

Oh sure

[hard aurora]

revenents tol

[solemn jewel]

Or any big city.

Like currently ur best bet is ironworks or at least ur monk artifact gear

[hard aurora]

oh yea

[cursive ridge]

hm, should i just give up trying to use MNK Thunderclap as a mouseover action when targeting players near enemies? it seems to always prioritize enemy hitboxes

[hard aurora]

do you have your monk artifact gear

[hard aurora]

@leaden ginkgo wheres your monk artifact armor

[cursive ridge]

you should have gotten a job quest coffer at level 50 with ilvl 90 gear

[hard aurora]

have you been doing your job quests?

[leaden ginkgo]

you mean the yellow clothes

[cursive ridge]

there's two versions of it

[leaden ginkgo]

yeah i got locked out of it after level 50

[cursive ridge]

you get the 90 ilvl in a coffer at job quest level 50

[leaden ginkgo]

yeah i got 2

both really weak tho

[hard aurora]

theyre better than arum vale

[cursive ridge]

why aren't you using it? isn't it better than what you're wearing?

[hard aurora]

what does recommeded loadout say

[leaden ginkgo]

nope

[cursive ridge]

that cannot be right

you're probably comparing it with the ilvl 50 version

[leaden ginkgo]

what does that mean

ilvl

[cursive ridge]

item level

[leaden ginkgo]

and yeah aurum gear is way stronger

defense dropped like 70 points

[cursive ridge]

press the recommended gear button, it will tell you to equip the job gear

[leaden ginkgo]

i just did here

[cursive ridge]

defense is irrelevant for you

[solemn jewel]

Defense isn't a stat monk needs

[leaden ginkgo]

what

[cursive ridge]

defense is a tank stat

[leaden ginkgo]

on god?

[solemn jewel]

You do not need defense. It won't help you.

[hard aurora]

higher ilevel is always better

[leaden ginkgo]

what than how do monks stay alive

[cursive ridge]

kill stuff before it kills them

[leaden ginkgo]

is it vitality

[solemn jewel]

They kill fast

[hard aurora]

@leaden ginkgo solo instances will buff you

in dungeons and raids, youre not supposed to get hit

[leaden ginkgo]

idk how any of this goes

never played an mmo before

[hard aurora]

its alright

but always use a higher ilevel item

[leaden ginkgo]

where doe sit show ilvl

[cursive ridge]

also since you completed the story dungeons of ARR

[leaden ginkgo]

on a piece of gear

[cursive ridge]

you should have enough Poetics tomestones to buy yourself a item level 130 weapon

[hard aurora]

that blue number above your character

thats ilevel

[hard aurora]

aka item level

[leaden ginkgo]

64

[hard aurora]

youre now at ilevel 84 and not ilevel 62

[leaden ginkgo]

oh i see

[cursive ridge]

you want to buy these bad boys in my screenshot

they will increase your damage DRAMATICALLY

[next pendant]

How many pages do raid weapons normally cost? Want to get onto savage this expansion

[thick surge]

Can anyone help answer my question regarding DRK anima

[hard aurora]

yes @thick surge

[leaden ginkgo]

yeah i remember seeing those, i gotta do some dungeons to get the funds thanks

[pine onyx]

7 totems for these raids weapon, available in next patch

[thick surge]

Im on the growth part of the quest and was wondering what stat should i focus on

[pine onyx]

You can get totems from p4n already

[hard aurora]

irrelevent @thick surge

[thick surge]

Really

[hard aurora]

its outdated due to endwalker

[thick surge]

Ok thabks

[hard aurora]

its been outdated since stormblood

it just looks really nice

[next pendant]

And do you get 1 per 4th floor or 1 per floor? And I mean savage, I know it’s not available yet, just want to know time commitment stuff

[cursive ridge]

if you look in your duty finder, you will find "Main Scenario" roulette, it gives you a shitton of poetics for a daily run, provided you haven't done it today already (200 for dungeon, +300 for roulette, +100 if it's somebody's first time there), so a single run of that roulette can get you that weapon, since it costs like 600 or something

[pine onyx]

Only in p4n so 4th floor, I don't believe there's a weekly cap on totems but I could be wrong

[cursive ridge]

they're asking a different thing, savage currency, not the normal currency

[next pendant]

Correct

[pine onyx]

Oh, mb

[obsidian patio]

!faq savageloot

[zinc orbit]

What floors of savage drop which items?

Per tier:
First floor: (Belt/Earring/Necklace/Bracelet/Ring) x3
Second floor: (Head/Gloves/Boots) x2 + Weapon Tomestone + Tomestone Accessory upgrade
Third floor: Head/Gloves/Boots + Legs + Tomestone Armor upgrade + Tomestone Weapon upgrade
Fourth floor: Weapon + Chest + Random single weapon + Mount + Minion

Loot Rules: Following each weekly reset, every player has a chance to obtain loot from the Savage encounters of the current raid tier. Upon clearing each floor, you will obtain 1 book specific to that fight (e.g. Book of Anamorphosis) and a chance to roll on the loot from that floor. Regardless of if you obtained loot from your weekly clear, you will be barred from rolling on loot from the same encounter until the next weekly reset.

Entering an encounter before clearing the previous floor(s) will relinquish all rewards from previously uncleared floors. (e.g. Entering E12S before clearing E9S for the week will relinquish loot from E9S, E10S, and E11S.) You will lose a chance to earn a book and your chance to roll on any loot that drops that week.

The number of players in your party that have cleared/skipped the encounter for the week will also affect the loot you will get after clearing the encounter.
0 players cleared: 2 chests
1-4 players cleared: 1 chest
5-8 players cleared: 0 chests

[obsidian patio]

Assuming they don’t change how things work

[pine onyx]

Savage loot system is so bad

I hope they change it

[warped nest]

Speaking of, I watched a video of someone soloing A12S and they got a weapon coffer

I assume this is a changed made in Endwalker?

[pine onyx]

It is

[next pendant]

So how many books of anamorphis did the weapon cost last savage?

[warped nest]

And which old raids received this change? All of them?

Do older ex trials got this too?

[cursive ridge]

all ex trials got a coffer, even current ones

dunno about raids

[warped nest]

Even ARR?

[cursive ridge]

yes, even arr

[warped nest]

That's nice

[pine onyx]

Nvm I can't read

[next pendant]

8 books, just found it in the wiki.

[next pendant]

So to be clear, tomestone gear coming in 6.05 will be 580 (probably) and can be upgraded with materials from the raid. You can also get rain specific loot. Does that mean normal raid loot is just a way to be 580 on day one?

Well, closer to 580

[forest sage]

590 tome

[cursive ridge]

590 is augmented astronomy?

[forest sage]

astronomy tome 590, savage 600, augmented astronomy also 600 but need savage drops

[cursive ridge]

ah

[forest sage]

savage weap 605

[cursive ridge]

and augmented astronomy upgrades will be available from a 24man raid in 6.1 i gather

[next pendant]

I see. So 6.05 makes all current endgame irrelevant?

[forest sage]

crafted 580 pentameldable, so normal raid is just entry for savage

[next pendant]

Other than mounts and story, oc

[forest sage]

well all current gear is entry gear for savage

but yeah it's all worthless when considering BiS after savage releases

the normal raid floor 4 token is still relevant for tome weapon though

you can get a stone from savage directly too, but if you don't get one, the tokens are a failsafe, you will get a stone in 7weeks regardless of your luck

[pine onyx]

When are alliance raids usually released? Do they wait for third tier of normal raids?

[cursive ridge]

.1 .3 .5

[forest sage]

the odds major patches, they're catchup content

[pine onyx]

And do they always give upgrade materials like nier?

[forest sage]

so 6.1 will have next one, and will have tome upgrade materials

[pine onyx]

Gotcha

[forest sage]

as well as from hunts

[ivory iris]

Is it still more efficient to do bozja to do 80-90 or did the dungeon buff change that

[forest sage]

no weapon upgrade until 6.15 though

[pine onyx]

So they alternate normal and alliance raids releases then?

[forest sage]

depends a bit, if you farm fates while waiting on queues, dungeons are probably as good/maybe better depending on what kind of DPS you have and the dungeon itself(some take longer cause elevators and shit) @ivory iris

if you want to braindead bozja it's still good and might be better in some cases, personally I hate the place so I just do dungeons

[forest sage]

yes, normal raid=new tier, alliance raid=catchup gear for that tier, then repeat 3 times

[pine onyx]

Alright

[azure ivy]

does squadron battle manual's +15% still work for dungeons?

[silver lintel]

is the fishing trip in like 2m or is it in an hour and 2m?

[forest sage]

yes

[pine onyx]

You get the xp bonus at the end of each boss

[forest sage]

1minute

[little juniper]

why cant i overmeld exarchic gear? i have lvl 90 doh and i have done the quest for overmeld

[forest sage]

is it normal exarchic gear or augmented exarchic?

augmented isn't overmeldable, says on the items

[dire prawn]

Why are you overmelding gear 60 ilvl below what's available?

[little juniper]

so normal exarchic gear can be overmelded? i just wanna test the overmelding see if it works

[forest sage]

yes normal can

augmented is a catch up mechanic and they remove the overmelding in favor of 10ilvl

but any piece of crafted white/green gear(including random white vendor gear) can be overmelded if you just want to test, doesn' thave to be exarchic

[little juniper]

ok thanks

[tight plinth]

Is the kirin mount easy to get?

[steel aspen]

what should i do if i'm capped on allagan tomestones of poetics, and i don't need any gear?

[gray crescent]

can i buy Sea Swallow Leather from Bicolor trader?

[gray crescent]

buy it with Anima Mats

[slate arrow]

you can buy Sea Swallow Skins

but you'll have to craft it into leather manually

[gray crescent]

what crafter is it?

leatherworker?

[slate arrow]

yes

[gray crescent]

dang

@slate arrowbtw, im just using it to turn in to lvl my armorer, do i need HQ ingredients for leves turn in? or normal will do?

[slate arrow]

HQ is double rewards

worth pursuing

[placid musk]

Curious how long is Shadowbringers MSQ 5.3-5.5? I'm so excited to get to Endwalker.

[modest igloo]

about 10 hours

7 of them being 5.3

[placid musk]

Oh man thats crazy, thank you!

[tacit venture]

sigh feels sad to say but might actually quit ff if I can't find a fix for this unusual random untarget bug

it's really destroying my mood

I removed all 3rd party programs and defaulted

[warped nest]

If you have a high level job, yes

Just solo all the ARR EX trials for 6 elemental horses

Garuda, Ifrit, Titan, Shiva, Ramuh, Leviathan

Garuda, Ifrit, and Titan can drop another horse mount called Nightmare aside from their respective elemental horses

That is not required for Kirin

Most lvl 70+ Job will be enough

Lvl 80+ will just wipe them clean

[wispy orbit]

you can't really do anything with old crafter scrip gear right?

Not turn in for gc seals or the such?

[modest igloo]

you can desynth

[tacit venture]

does anyone with an xbox/playstation controller have MCH with 2x reassemble to test on a dummy to see if it un-targets if you keep pressing re-assemble ?

I'm deducing it's def not a keyboard problem..

[robust crow]

why would any skill untarget your enemy

[forest sage]

does it untarget even when it's not the xbox button? thought you said it didn't

[tacit venture]

because that's the issue I've bene having right now since the past couple hours

[robust crow]

it's not an ff14 issue

more than likely a driver or input issue

[tacit venture]

hm I see

[robust crow]

do you have a macro running or some shit

maybe some keyboard macro you ran but forgot to turn off

[tacit venture]

true.. I'll def look into that ty

mbad guess it actually was solved a bit ago, just a bit slow but alls good now, I appreciate the patience one again, ty all

[formal condor]

can this macro work 😮

[analog dawn]

how do I pay for a sub using my credit card instead of the steam wallet?

[barren granite]

you may need pauses

or <wait>

[fringe bone]

Guys i got a little issue, im trying to change my name but the game is telling me i can't use that name. But when i create a new char the name is usable ? any idea why?

[barren granite]

/wait 5 is wait 5 sec

[honest anvil]

are the 2 recent ex trial gears locked out of desynth?

[fringe bone]

its letting me create it

i have the char in my world rn xD

But when i delete it and try to use that name on my other char(who i got the name change for) its telling me i cant use the name

[barren granite]

oh maybe it needs time to sync through system

db updates are not propigated quickly

[fringe bone]

But after i delete it and try to use it on my other char(the one where i got the name change) its not letting me use the name. So you think oh it needs time but then i make a new char again with the name i want and it works XD

[barren granite]

usually only at set intervals

[solemn jewel]

Is the one ur using the name on and the one u wanna use it on on the same world

[analog dawn]

how do I pay for a sub using my credit card instead of the steam wallet?

[fringe bone]

no not same world

[barren granite]

ya good point heh

[solemn jewel]

Ye names are per world

[potent lava]

hey how do I view the "Shared Models" of an item in garland tools? I cant seem to find this option

[fringe bone]

not server??

[outer mural]

select an item and when it’s in the list on the right, it should just be there

if it isn’t, that means it has no shared model or a shared model is dissimilar enough to not count

[analog dawn]

Anyone!? how do I pay for a sub using my credit card instead of the steam wallet?

[outer mural]

yeah you can have a John Johnson on every world in crystal

[barren granite]

im sure on mog station under subs ?

and payment options ?

[lusty palm]

Guys, is the ||Void Ark|| raid still popular? I mean, will I be able to find a group in duty finder? Or how do I go about doing it?

[analog dawn]

They only show steam wallet

[solemn jewel]

Ye it still pops

[outer mural]

you can duty find it fine, it’s not very popular but during peak hours it’s liable to pop

[lusty palm]

Thank you ❤️

[barren granite]

Mg station >Payments and Service Fees - register or update payment method

Register or update credit/debit card information to be used for payments on your service account.
Please make a selection.

[analog dawn]

Thank you. I did register my card but it didn’t show any selections to choose from

[barren granite]

it doesnt in that screen show this ?

[analog dawn]

Yeah it shows that and I put my card in

[barren granite]

ok go to list subscriptions

under the pyamnrs and service fee menu

[analog dawn]

It’s giving me an error now with trying to register my card

[barren granite]

ok you already did that tho right ?

[analog dawn]

Says no list of subscriptions. I un registered it

[barren granite]

oh so you want to re regsiter a new service account w/ the CC.

[analog dawn]

No I want to use this account I’m trying to use. Took my card off because I didn’t see it saved anywhere

Okay says register complete

Doesn’t show a list of subscriptions

[barren granite]

ok well once you re reg your card, then for try going into the list subscription section, then click 'Final Fantasy XIV' and it brings into another menu where it looks like can change it all

[analog dawn]

There isn’t anything under the list subscription

[patent frigate]

How can I attach an auto message to a skill

[analog dawn]

Says inactive but when I hit change nothing happened

[errant mesa]

Don't

Spare us the cringe

[topaz basin]

Does the damage of ex2 boss tank buster got thrown entirely to just 1 tank if the other use invuln? I use like 2 CD has 0 weakness and got 1 shotted at full health
Tho the other tank has like 3 stacks

[analog dawn]

Just brings me up to the steam wallet

[slate arrow]

sign into a incognito browser window

[analog dawn]

Okay

It worked

What the hell

[slate arrow]

eyup

[barren granite]

cookies ?

[analog dawn]

Yeah I think so

[forest sage]

was he close to you? if he's not in the aoe, he doesn't count, it's a stack mechanic. As for invulns, not sure, I assume it'd work fine if it's Living Dead or Holmgang, but maybe PLD/GNB invulns won't? I've mostly offtanked and since there's literally nothing else going on I just pop all my cds when it's the buster

[frosty kelp]

My friend wanted to try FF14 today, is it still impossible to get in unless you have already bought the game or could she buy the game and play tonight? thank you

[errant mesa]

Impossible right now

[errant mesa]

I would surmise it's shared damage that's killing you

So the 3 vuln stacks are amplifying the damage you both are taking

[forest sage]

the vuln aren't shared, whoever has the vulns will take more dmg but the other tank won't

[errant mesa]

I never had that problem with stacking, though I did notice I always took a greater % of the damage

So perhaps it's based on who has aggro and not an even 50-50 split

[urban grotto]

where do I find gathering clothes for current level?

[forest sage]

what current lvl

90?

[urban grotto]

41

[errant mesa]

ARR vendors

[forest sage]

vendors in limsa/grid/uldah

[urban grotto]

ok, thanks

[forest sage]

also in the lvl appropriate zones but those have everything

[errant mesa]

But market board may be cheaper

[urban grotto]

alright, thanks

[topaz basin]

I think the other tank is close to me yeah. That was the 1st time that happened ever and i did that trials like 30 times

[formal condor]

my purpose is let it automatically bond a selectable target.from 8 to 2 teammate

[unborn light]

With all the queues and everything going on, are Fantasia's working..?

[slate arrow]

yes, you just have to wait in queue twice minimum

[upper cove]

Theoreticslly should work provided ping is fine

[slate arrow]

first time to use the fantasia, log out, actually change things, and then signing back in

[unborn light]

Ah I see, thanks. I'll do it like 6am GMT to avoid bigger queues!

[forest sage]

well I'd assume they just weren't close enough when it happened, since it doesn't make much sense otherwise, the aoe isn't that big and if they moved out early/moved in late, they might miss it and then you took basically 2 tankbusters at the same time which would explain the death through cooldowns

[brittle blaze]

Mmm how can I go out of fight from a dummy?

[forest sage]

either run away far, or target it, then right click on target window and > reset enmity

[brittle blaze]

Ok thx cuz run away is annoying 😂

[forest sage]

yeah clicking is faster

although I always first click the dummy, then remember I have to click the window instead

[brittle blaze]

Ahahaha 😂 Thx really, I always run away like a dumb😂

[mild ermine]

What's the combo on SCH for the really big shield?

[odd knot]

as ninja do i get the move speed passive only with weapons out or with weapons sheathed too?

[forest sage]

Recitation for crit > Adlo > Deployment Tactics

if you want slightly bigger, use Fey Illumination first to increase healing potency

[mild ermine]

Is that the only way?

[forest sage]

what do you mean

[mild ermine]

Ohhhh no I get it. No sorry I meant that to send that before your second message.

[forest sage]

that's how you get big shields on everyone

[upper cove]

Never felt a difference either way

[odd knot]

ok

[forest sage]

works both ways

it's a small boost though yeah

but you can "see" it if you just autorun and switch class to ninja

you'll accelerate a little bit

[odd knot]

prob just feels faster with daggers out cuz naruto run

[slate arrow]

its a pssive so its always active

unless there's a conditional (passives usually dont) passives are always active in and out of combat

[urban grotto]

how do I get to this area?

it's in Orthard

[true jolt]

thats unlocked via beast tribe quest naturally

[urban grotto]

how do I unlock that?

[cursive ridge]

do blue quests in yanxia, then after you run out of them, do a blue quest in azim steppe

[true jolt]

^

[urban grotto]

alright, thanks!

[errant mesa]

Do triple triad cards drop better from ex or normal trials

[viscid lake]

Why make the Patrician's set when the various more specialized set unlock and are worn at the same level, and are only a bit harder to make?

[cursive ridge]

in almost all cases if you're running into a situation like this, the answer is probably "one was available earlier in the game's life than the other"

patch content makes getting better gear easier

[true jolt]

At how much lvl gap we stop getting exp from monster? 10+ lvl?

[cursive ridge]

pretty sure your level doesn't matter

you stop getting xp at level cap

[true jolt]

Oh i mean, when i kill low level mob i dont get exp anymore unless i'm syced so i wonder about that

[slate arrow]

its like

~5 levels?

ish?

the scaling gets really hard -/+3 levels though

well -3 levels

[gentle quarry]

Question for Studium Delivery - would I just need to level up with normal scrip collectables in between the delivery quest windows?

Sorry, never did deliveries when it's fresh

[slate arrow]

yes its only every other level

collectibles, leves, or ishgard(when updated)

[forest sage]

it's 80 83 85 87 90

[gentle quarry]

I levelled to 80 through Diadem so it was just macros all the way to the end lol

So basically the regular way of levelling is still normal scrip collectibles?

[forest sage]

if you have good 80 gear it's pretty easy to macro all the way to 90 too

[gentle quarry]

and Leves

[forest sage]

yeah

[gentle quarry]

yeah I got a mix of penta and saint

[forest sage]

or just raw crafting/quick synthing with xp manuals and FC/squad buffs, not fast but some ppl just like making materials

[gentle quarry]

I'll exhaust my leves first before doing collectibles ugh

[cursive ridge]

hm, just tested it and yeah you do not get exp from low level mobs. i just assumed it didn't care about that since it doesn't the other way around - low level player vs high level mob, but i guess it does

i guess it's so people don't spam low level zones for xp?

[forest sage]

I used the same basic macro for most of my crafting lvling with aestete+minimal melds, was like reflect manip waste not II innov prep touch a bunch then innov great stride byregot, then veneration groundwork to the end, specific stats needed depends on the lvl of the item and stuff so you have to adjust with teamcraft

[slate arrow]

you usually spam FATES

[errant mesa]

Outside of hunting log, the game is not very amenable to killing random mobs

[graceful apex]

Why can't I give this to collectable appraisers? it's max collectability

[cursive ridge]

yeah i know combat kill xp is dogshit but i'm trying to think why they even bothered to implement the thing of you stopping combat xp

you're likely not high enough level to see the turn-in

[graceful apex]

Ah makes sense, thanks

[forest sage]

need to be 90

[graceful apex]

Just a bit more then

[slate arrow]

Typical MMORPG Things™️

[errant ice]

I bought some Starlight Celebration 2020 items one week before the sale, would I be able to ask an reimbursement from square enix?

[slate arrow]

probably no, but worth asking

[errant ice]

I'll give it a try then

[sly field]

Anyone know if there has been an update on new players starting/buying the complete edition?

[slate arrow]

you cannot

#lodestone-news-na will have a post directly from the lodestone when the situation changes

[sly field]

Ok thank you, I shall be back in 3 days to ask again 💀

[forest sage]

it won't be solved quickly, you can likely forget about it until mid january

[astral field]

Anyone know if the snow man mount is available during this crimbo event?

[frosty kelp]

how does region locking work in this game? could my australian friend activat a service account with an NA product code

[true jolt]

Region lock is your XIV account vs the game version you buy

[true jolt]

Cant use EU key when you have NA acccount

Steam also count as separate version and can only buy via steam

[hexed marsh]

is running the leveling roulette the best way to get company seals?

[leaden ginkgo]

turn in green gear that you dont need gives more

[hexed marsh]

already did, got like 10k

[leaden ginkgo]

pray continue onward

[forest sage]

if you have expert delivery on the fastest way is to farm dungeons unsynced and turn in more gear generally speaking

that or farming fates, roulette is really bad seals for the time(it's very good xp though so might as well do it once a day)

well dungeons, or crafting gear to turn in, that works too if you have mats

[leaden ginkgo]

imo it passively stacks up anyways if you roll on gear while leveling an alt etc

im usually capped so im not actively farming seals

[forest sage]

it does but if they're asking it's cause they want to raise it now, for GC promotions and such

[leaden ginkgo]

yeah if they are in a rush then the stuff mentioned above helps

[hexed marsh]

running unsynced? and no, im not in a rush 😄

[forest sage]

in the DF, click the wheel for DF options

they changed the name to Unrestricted now, but basically you won't be synced to the lvl of the dungeon

so say you're 60, or 90, you can just run through lower lvl dungeons and get all the gear

[leaden ginkgo]

unsynced (and solo) allows you to play the dungeon at your current level and all the loot is yours

[astral cobalt]

what's the best way to find items to level desynthetize ?

[forest sage]

dungeons

[leaden ginkgo]

^

[forest sage]

and well fishing for CUL

[astral cobalt]

thx

[forest sage]

you can desynth anything regardless of your level

so really just desynth everything you loot

[astral cobalt]

what you can dez fishes ? ^^

[forest sage]

yeah fishes is for CUL desynth

[astral cobalt]

only DoH/DoL I didnt level yet

[leaden ginkgo]

yeah it levels your CUL desynth

[astral cobalt]

good to know

[leaden ginkgo]

you can just buy very cheap fish in market board

[forest sage]

it gives 99.99% of the time worthless sands, water crystals or low allagan coins though

[leaden ginkgo]

as long as the ilevel of the fish is "near" your desynth level ofc

[forest sage]

only a few fishes have actual desynth tables different from the standard

you don't really need near your lvl, you can buy endwalker fishes to just get +1 every desynth basically

[astral cobalt]

I'll be leveling FSH soon so I'll keep that in mind, and keep the fishes to dez

maybe I can also find very cheap stuff on vendors or marketboard to desynth for my other DoH ?

[leaden ginkgo]

well near or above your desynth level

[forest sage]

ARR vendor stuff can be cheap but past that it's expensive

you can also buy poetics gear to desynth and such

[astral cobalt]

I have quite a large gap between my des level and the recommended level for the gear I loot in dungeons

[forest sage]

doesn't matter unless you mean your desynth is much higher than what you loot

then yeah you won't get skillups

[astral cobalt]

much lower I meant

[forest sage]

then not a problem

desynth always works, regardless of your skill lvl, and you always get skill ups if you're lower

it used to be a pain in the ass cause you needed desynth close to the items due to it having a chance to fail and all that

but now it doesn't

you can desynth Endwalker dungeon gear with lvl 1 desynth and it'll always succeed

[astral cobalt]

ok, thanks for all these useful info

[forest sage]

hud layout options maybe? never seen that though

or there's some Hide during Duty settings in options somewhere too iirc

[feral nebula]

got it, ty

was a option there

[forest sage]

maybe char > UI

[feral nebula]

dont even remember removing that

[forest sage]

not ingame so can't check where exactly

[warm snow]

It's in character config under ui, kindly don't use slurs

[fiery pagoda]

when will endwalker relic weapons be available?

[faint flare]

At some point

[modest igloo]

shb was 5.25, so maybe 6.25

[fiery pagoda]

i see

[leaden ginkgo]

how am i supposed to use 'Salted Earth' from the DRK?
from what i read it only affects enemies that enter the zone, so you can at most damage like 1 mob pack while wall to wall pulling, and even that only once
or am i supposed to kite the mobs in and out and make every single melee on the planet hate my guts

[cursive ridge]

it keeps doing damage periodically

[worn flume]

it does damage over time to all enemies within it, not just when they enter it

[hot eagle]

it's dot so long the mobs are on it

[leaden ginkgo]

mmh i clearly suck at reading

[cursive ridge]

no you're alright, it doesnt say that it's a persistent effect

[true jolt]

atm there is no best use on combat materia 9 right? tier 8 is better if you dont have 10

[cursive ridge]

cant overmeld with 8 beyond first slot

[true jolt]

well overmeld only relevant on upcoming crafted gear right?

tome/raid gear will never use it afaik

[modest igloo]

ye

[true jolt]

alright $$$ time

[hexed marsh]

what is the general priority of stats i should go for as warrior? i guess str, vit and probably tentacity and the "of fending" gear?

[narrow jay]

Strength and Vitality will always correlate directly to item level, so item level is your priority, since it also encompasses damage or defense rating.

[hexed marsh]

hm, my il is 84 rn i think

[last dock]

Any guides for lvl 60 BLM?

[warm snow]

!action salted earth

[zinc orbit]

**Salted Earth** : lvl 52 DRK (90.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Creates a patch of salted earth at your feet, dealing unaspected damage with a potency of 50 to any enemies who enter.

[fiery pagoda]

@last dock https://www.akhmorning.com/jobs/blm/

[warm snow]

No

[leaden ginkgo]

i mean, yeah, it clearly says 'to any enemies who ENTER' it doesnt sayshit about being a dot in its own

[fiery pagoda]

@warm snow oh shit, didnt realize it changed. prob since endwalker release because of the changes

[warm snow]

Yeah they're all useless atm

!faq ewbalance

[zinc orbit]

What does Endwalker job balance look like now?

We cannot meaningfully discuss or draw major conclusions about Endwalker job balance for a number of reasons:

1. The currently available gear is too limited/inconsistent, and future gear’s mainstat/substat distribution may affect balance.

2. Patch 6.05 will likely hold extensive job changes, just like 5.05 did (see: https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/topics/detail/b6083dbda4e9497698b64163ffc8cee52472b81a)

3. 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.

4. 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.

5. 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.

[warm snow]

For 60 the old weskalber guide should work

Since I believe that was the question

[last dock]

Haven't touched BLM in years and just left it at 60. Was thinking of playing it again but remember nothing about how to play it or how it is with the changes now.

Aaahhhh right

[warm snow]

It's kinda shit...

[nimble harbor]

the instant I initially took it off my bar, I got copperbell in a roulette

[warm snow]

Surprisingly accurate

[lean sphinx]

Is there new materia each tier? Or will X be the max for the whole expansion?

[warm snow]

Expansion

New materia each tier would be insane

We've had 13 raid tiers to date

Including the current tuer

[tall mountain]

it would be hilarious to try and wrap your head around though

[warm snow]

It would be annoying and grindy af, what do you think this is!? Wow!?

[hexed marsh]

Archeage*, wow is nothing compared to AA grind 😛

[tall mountain]

i like annoying, i love grindy, and i adore making money because most people hate the former two

[warm snow]

Then go to eureka, it's both and potentially incredibly lucrative

[fast talon]

I have a really dumb question

since I havent seen anyone else do it

If you jump and do a 360, do other players see it

[neat drift]

Lol yes ofc, why wouldn't they?

[fast talon]

im not sure if the servers update that fast or not

[hexed marsh]

it should be able to handle it so yeah 🙂

[worn flume]

depends how quickly you do it

[fast talon]

uhh mid air flick idk

[hexed marsh]

but i guess if you're laggy enough..

[fast talon]

so you travel in a straight line, jump 360 and attempt to keep going the same direction from before you jumped lol

[worn flume]

the game doesnt really copy the movement of other players 1:1 and more just interpolates it based on server updates, if you do it quick enough it'll look to others like you didn't turn at all

[fast talon]

ahh

The advanced version is to 180, delay, and then 180 back for a "hangtime" effect

I saw people at chi spinning so it definitely does care, just hard to tell how fast

do you know the game's tickrate?

It doesnt have to be high since its an MMO, and it seems to have decent lag protection

[warm snow]

Once every 3 seconds

For dots anyways

[tall mountain]

think they mean server tickrate

[warm snow]

No idea

[fast talon]

I noticed that even if you're lagging you can pull off your rotation but it REALLY does not like you moving around while lagging and trying to use melee instants

It will like.. think you used your melee ability but then roll it back and not use it instead if you're lagging which is weird to me

[worn flume]

packet loss does that, yeah

[cedar dune]

How come sometimes I do leveling/alliance roulette as lvl 90, but I don't get the cracked cluster rewards?

[fiery pagoda]

when are they removing The Feast?

[warm snow]

That's from adventurer in need

[warm snow]

6.1

Is the current plan

Could get pushed back

Cuz yknow worlds on fire

[fiery pagoda]

idk if i want to farm 200 wins for the mount before it is removed

[warm snow]

90 gives you 90 tomes, adventurer in needs gives clusters

[warm snow]

Those achievements will be converted over to the new pvp mode, as for whether or not progress carries over

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Yoshi p does not like fomo

[mild mountain]

Anyone has a list of all blm skills? And why i rarely see ppl use one? Isnt blm kinda op?

[warm snow]

Well in order, just Google the job guide, not everyone likes blm, and

!faq meta

[zinc orbit]

How FFXIV's Meta Works

All jobs are good and viable in all content. The difference between meta and non-meta is minor, to the point that player skill is a significantly more important factor. Play what you enjoy/what interests you most, and you can make it work.

[hexed marsh]

why do i have a feeling that you know all the bots commands Kat? 🙂

[warm snow]

I don't, but I know a lot

Meta and ewbalance get used a lot

Especially meta

[mild mountain]

But like, even if the difference is minor, i expect ppl to still use the strongest class

[honest anvil]

blm also is harder to play well imo

[mild mountain]

like how everyones using reaper rn

[warm snow]

Not reallt

[honest anvil]

especially in pug settings

[obsidian patio]

Everyone’s playing reaper because it’s new

[solemn jewel]

People use reaper cus it's cool n shiny n new

[warm snow]

They're not playing reaper cuz it's good, they're playing reaper cuz it's new

[obsidian patio]

And want to try it out

[warm snow]

And people like being edgy

And honestly it's pretty fun

[mild mountain]

Oki 👍 i love how ffxiv community is always open minded. In other mmo its always meta toxicity

[warm snow]

Tbh, we kinda preach against meta here, just play what you want. That's more fun

That and at top level everything's within 1-2% of each other for their roles

[fiery pagoda]

preach against is a soft phrase from my experience lol

[mild mountain]

So anyways, how many skills do blm have? Because each website states different numbers

[warm snow]

Wouldn't be able to tell you offhand

Since lots of skills are straight upgrades of others on your hotbar

And some stuff is basically aoe only for trash pulls in dungeons

[fiery pagoda]

@mild mountain 31 actions, not including role skills

[lean sphinx]

Is it important to do all of the crafter quests for every crafter?

[warm snow]

But all jobs except astro can fit reasonably on a controller hotbar

[warm snow]

Yes

[steep egret]

all jobs can fit on 3 hotbars

[hexed marsh]

free equipment and exp, whats there not to like

[lean sphinx]

Aren't the action rewards the same for some of them?

[warm snow]

You're forgetting manipulation

[mild mountain]

I play astro pretty well on controller. If anything, gnb is giving me the most issue

[warm snow]

Yes but you still have to unlock them on each job

[mild mountain]

But it seems like its mot just me in that gnb topic

[leaden ginkgo]

they also give really good exp

[warm snow]

I'm suffering from button bloat at 90

[lean sphinx]

Oh I see

Ok thanks

[leaden ginkgo]

got my WVR from 81 to 84 starting with lv1 job quest until lv70

[warm snow]

Manipulation unlock on cul only gives it on cul

Etc etc

Manipulation is arguably the best crafter skill

[warped nest]

Slightly technical question: what's the map size of potd and hoh

[warm snow]

Random

[warped nest]

Not in yalm

[warm snow]

It's procedurally generated

[warped nest]

I mean the room shapes and such

There's has to be some sort of limits right

[obsidian patio]

Biggest I’ve seen a floor is 4 or 5 rooms in either direction

[warped nest]

Like, no 6 room forming a straight line

[warm snow]

Not counting large rooms

[obsidian patio]

As for a room number limit, can’t say.

[warped nest]

Any ballpark figures?

Like most potd and hoh floors can fit in a X by Y grid

is there a wiki/guide where I can see what the shade of the color looks like for my chocobo ingame? the wiki doesn't have any but just the formula for the color

[steep egret]

its either 5x5 or 6x6 im fairly sure

[patent storm]

Does ARR fates give more chocobo rank exp?

[obsidian patio]

No

[warped nest]

Oh, another quick one, i assume that if two rooms are side by side, they don't always connect with each other right? Like you can have 4 rooms making a U or n, instead of O

[hexed marsh]

correct, i saw this yesterday in my run

[obsidian patio]

You want to do the highest level stuff you can with your chocobo out for the most experience.

[steep egret]

chocobo exp is a % of exp you earn

[swift pasture]

thank you

[warped nest]

You don't need to cater to your rank 1 chocobo and bring it to do lvl 1 contents

blm doesnt have a combat rez also you have to hardcast a lot so most people might not like it

[fast talon]

its not "just better" damage, its like.. really good once you optimize all the movement so you can hardcast more which is not easy!

[slate arrow]

because it has the highest amount of spells which require a cast time, and all of it's good instant casts are limited by cooldowns or timers

nope its a surface book 2

[slate arrow]

I need to hear a recording

because there's currently like 5 different audio issues occuring

(Most of them can be tracked to a certain windows audio driver, there's a PS audio issue, there's something going on with the scuffed Surround Sound implementation, and more I can't remember off the top of my head)

[near rover]

Is there a solution to the windows audio driver one?

Cause that sure feels like its similiar to mine

[slate arrow]

you might have a better chance on the bug report forums

[near rover]

Alright

[slate arrow]

the only one i have details of currently is the AMD CPU one

which is related to windows drivers

[near rover]

:L mine's a nvdia tho w intel

[lost grove]

Does sage have a bozja relic or no?

[faint flare]

No

[lost grove]

Welp I have him at lvl 72 but idk where to lvl since I don't have bozja unlock on this character

[warm snow]

Relics are only for jobs that existed during that expansion

[faint flare]

Dungeons

[cinder owl]

I'm leveling my miner right now, and it's now at 71. Should I do Crystarium Leves to level 80, or is it best if I do firmament until level 80 and then use my leve allowances for 80-90?

[warm snow]

All of those are fine

[lost grove]

Ok

[warm snow]

Ew relics aren't out yet, we don't know when they'll start

[cursive ridge]

considering there's no cookie leve in endwalker, you can spend you leve allowances on whatever you want

[warm snow]

But probably not til post 6.1

[cursive ridge]

it really doesn't matter, you probably will not spend them all

[cinder owl]

i see, ty for the help

[cursive ridge]

was DNC basic combo changed in endwalker? i remember the flow diagram on the job guide page looking different

[warm snow]

Not hugely

[near rover]

[frosty badger]

Ok, leveling or alliance raid?

[warm snow]

Levelling

[frosty badger]

Thanks

[warm snow]

After that I cba to care cuz they're all pretty shit

[warped nest]

Frontline is decent, but it is PvP

[frosty badger]

Saaame

[warped nest]

Trial and raid are okay, useful if you needed just one sixth of a bar to level up

Usually very painless

[frosty badger]

Usually

[near rover]

Dont do it if you're level 90

[warped nest]

As if leveling is always daisy

[smoky crystal]

does bozja exp sync past lv80?

[warm snow]

No

It's static past 80

[frosty badger]

Do what

[near rover]

What skill lets warriors heal now?

[warm snow]

Yes

Lol

[smoky crystal]

Ahhhh gotcha, thanks for that

But is it still the best way to grind or are dungeons worth it?

Asking as a DPS 😛 Haha

[warm snow]

Dungeons are still better past 80

Fates are also fantastic in ew areas

300k exp ish per

[smoky crystal]

Ah I see! So queue and fates it is

[warped nest]

Equilibrium, a self heal you learnt early on, also gain a regen effect at high level

[frosty badger]

Holy.. is that an essay or description

[warped nest]

They do a lot of shit

At the same time

Nascent Flash gives away 4 buffs

[gray wharf]

Is it worth getting the purple scrip gear for crafters right now or will a new set be coming within a month?

[frosty badger]

There is only like body gear at this point

[warped nest]

Nascent flash: 400 potency self heal per hit
Nascent glint: damage reduction + copies nascent flash heals when it happens
Stem the flow: more damage reduction
Stem the tide: a shield

[near rover]

New set coming on 4th jan i heard

[twilit arch]

no

jan 4 is crafted combat gear

[warped nest]

New crafter gear is 6.1

[near rover]

oh

[warped nest]

Which is March April, around there

[near rover]

Anyways, pentamelded normal level 90 gear is better than scrip gear

[warped nest]

Even cheap melds will beat scrip

[warm snow]

Well get a new craftable set of crafting gear before we get a new set of purple scrip gear

[frosty badger]

Makes you wonder what's the real point of scrip gear

[near rover]

Fashion

[twilit arch]

poor man/catch up gear

[warped nest]

Transition gear

[warm snow]

Catchup and cheap

[frosty badger]

Poor in terms of gil I take it

[warped nest]

Oops

[twilit arch]

yeah

[modest igloo]

targets that are invlun

[warm snow]

Probably means it won't work on invincible targets

[patent citrus]

scrips gear are nice

[warped nest]

It is just flavor text

[near rover]

Should I put my IX and X materia on a 90 set to min-max then?

[patent citrus]

quite convenient, no need to craft everything yourself to level up

[near rover]

If the next craft set is like 3 months from now

[neat drift]

Ah, good to know
Thx guys

[warped nest]

That sometimes does more harm than good

[patent citrus]

especially starting from 70-80

[frosty badger]

No, it for super lazy people who don't want to meld

[warm snow]

Won't hurt, at least do the basic non advaned melds on the re used gear

[near rover]

yeah i already have pentameld, but i put garabge on for spiritbonding

[warm snow]

Armor and accessories

[twilit arch]

are you intending to craft combat gear with 6.05?

[near rover]

Ye

[twilit arch]

then you need to put in better melds

[patent citrus]

yeah if you are super casual in terms of crafting, just get scrips gear

no need to race to pentameld and try to make a profit out of people who can't access pentamelded when it's available

[frosty badger]

But most of us are nerds anyway

[sacred apex]

Pandemonium gear wise, which should I focus on obtaining first?

[warped nest]

Chest

[patent citrus]

accessories

[warm snow]

Depends on your job and current gear

[near rover]

You'll get em all eventually I guess

[twilit arch]

should give the balance a lot, several of the jobs put out normal mode decisions

[patent citrus]

but yeah, look up your substats

[warm snow]

Same ilevel as ex1 stuff, so accessories are low priority

[warped nest]

!faq balance

[zinc orbit]

The Balance

Discord

[warm snow]

Balance has very very little for most jobs atm

[twilit arch]

as i said, several jobs have already posted what should be gotten for normal mode week 1/2

[patent citrus]

if the substats is good, get it 😹

but I guess chest is a solid piece to get

[frosty badger]

Is the new normal raid already out?

[twilit arch]

yes

was released tues

[frosty badger]

IL requirement?

[patent citrus]

but probably you have to spam the raid until you are sick, since other people would want it too

[twilit arch]

565

[near rover]

Do I want craftsmanship or control when melding

[frosty badger]

Is it hard?

[sacred apex]

Reaper, I currently have all the tomestone accessories and weapon but not the armor

[warped nest]

Craftmanship to specific tiers

[patent citrus]

Normal Raid, Just DF it

[warped nest]

Control have as many as you can

[twilit arch]

https://guides.ffxivteamcraft.com/guide/crafting-melding-guide

[warped nest]

Small Increase in craftmanship doesn't matter unless it save a step of synthesis in your crafting rotation

[twilit arch]

we don't have the stat requirements for the recipes so its hard to say what exact tiers are needed, but the teamcraft guide gives several meld sets

depending how much you want to spend

[frosty badger]

And with gathering, the trend now is gathering stat priority, yes?

[near rover]

Uh atm milestone to hit are 3.4k perception, 3.2k gathering, 900 GP

[warped nest]

Unless they changed how gathering affect your gather chance, gathering stat should still be tier based

[near rover]

Owh u mean while leveling

[warped nest]

Oh, while leveling, yeah, gathering all the way

[near rover]

Yeah perception became kinda not very important for leveling since u can fill it in with "working harder"

There's tactics.
