questions-and-help

[warm snow]

So yes

[wintry trellis]

Don’t you still have to DK for leaden fists?

In order to get the crit

[outer plank]

yes

formless fist is just what you get after a

[dire prawn]

Question

[outer plank]

perfect balance

lets you use any skill for free

[dire prawn]

What's the potency buff from Leaden Fist?

I don't see it as a trait when I have DK and Bootshine's tooltip doesn't display it

[outer plank]

you usually just end it with a boot shine because its optimal to end perfect balance on a dragon kick

[twilit arch]

310

[faint flare]

!action Bootshine

[zinc orbit]

**Bootshine** : lvl 1 PGL MNK (2.5 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Delivers an attack with a potency of 210 . Leaden Fist Potency: Opo-opo Form Bonus: Guarantees a critical hit
Additional Effect: Changes form to raptor
Duration: 30s

Powered by XIVAPI

[faint flare]

It's on this tooltiop

[verbal rune]

The other question is, should I always bootshine with shapeless fist (after perfect belance) or reset twin snake when it's down?

[dire prawn]

Leaden Fist Potency: Opo-opo Form Bonus:
It's not there

[wintry trellis]

TS shouldn’t be dropped iirc

[warm snow]

Resetting twin snakes is higher priority, it depends on how good you are at keeping up that rotation

[dire prawn]

If you have 1.94 GCD as MNK Twin Snakes should naturally refresh in your rotation with ~1s left on it

[outer plank]

honestly your better off going to the balance discord, for more specialized information on the monk rotation

[wintry trellis]

^

[outer plank]

@verbal rune

[dire prawn]

That's the answer I got from MNK lounge in Balance discord

[pine onyx]

Especially about monk rotation

[verbal rune]

Fair, my problem was figuring the pre lvl 90 rotation

And priority on some stuff

[dire prawn]

Fun fact

At 68 MNK your rotation is more or less the same all the way to 90

[wintry trellis]

TS buff and making sure your boot shines are buffed with leaden is like biggest prio

[dire prawn]

76 MNK is when your rotation becomes exactly the same as it is at 90

Because GL4

Everything past 76 MNK/GL4 is upgrades to things you already have

[verbal rune]

Ah

[warm snow]

Do they use six sided star yet? Lol

[golden monolith]

How come lvl 500 gatherer/crafter's gear don't have any melding slots? or I am missing something? ...

[dire prawn]

[lime pewter]

So DX9 mode

[verbal rune]

Didn't know that

[lime pewter]

Is it safe to run or--

[wintry trellis]

Don’t think so

[warm snow]

Scrip gear never has melding slots

[pine onyx]

Only crafted gear do

[golden monolith]

Does it mean crafted gear is better than gear for scrips?

[pine onyx]

I have graphical glitches with it

[warm snow]

Largely speaking hes

Current crafted gear beats current scrip gear with basic melds

[pine onyx]

Technically yes if pentamelded, but it's very, very expensive

[warm snow]

At present just basic melds beat scrip gear

[pine onyx]

Basic works too right now?

Cool

[warm snow]

Current scrip gear is the af stuff

[pine onyx]

Af?

[twilit arch]

artifact

its the job specific gear

[pine onyx]

Didn't know it had this name

[twilit arch]

so generally its not worth, unless you're either poor or not intended to do a lot of serious end-game crafting/gathering

[pine onyx]

It also takes a lot of space in your armory

If you have multiple sets

[warm snow]

Af gear for crafters and gatherers has been scrips since hw

[sacred apex]

Reaper question: How does the double triple enshroud happen with the early gluttony opener? Does it it just happen? When do I apply SoD with it?

[outer plank]

with the tiger heavensturn

does that make all the new years animals?

[lone bone]

what was the spammed dungeon at lvl 70, need 71 for Bozja

[twilit arch]

castrum abania

[lone bone]

thanks

[leaden granite]

is the "one time password" app the one i need to unlock the free destination teleport?

[wintry chasm]

Yeah that gives it

[warm snow]

It's your 2 factor authentication

[wintry chasm]

The actual companion app gives an extra favoured destination too and an emote

[craggy tinsel]

Wait what emote comes with the companion app

[wintry chasm]

The tomestone one

[craggy tinsel]

Oh

Neat

I didn't know that's how I got it lmao

[clever roost]

anyone know when ff14 support will be open again? i think it was jan 2 but im not sure..

[ornate moon]

does arr skip also skip the mandatory crystal tower quests before the end of post content?

[tight plinth]

Finally bought the EW expansion, so when (where and how) can I get my doggo mount?

[open coral]

At the end of 6.0

[twilit arch]

looks like we're missing goat? i think from my very quick look thru previous heavensturns

[obsidian patio]

Yes

[tight plinth]

i forgot im still in heavensward, and im only at 1%

[hardy token]

Hmmm now i wonder how i can name myself <letter>'name ingame going with miqo naming conventions because we are forced to pick a second name 🤔

[tall nest]

why does it sometimes say this when I summon my retainer

[twilit arch]

because when you interact with your retainer, the items listed on them are delisted from the market until you stop interacting with said retainer

[tall nest]

oh okay

[fossil bloom]

what's the reward for the starlight event right now?

[twilit arch]

2 minions

[fossil bloom]

does it involve fates?

[twilit arch]

no

[wintry chasm]

Miqo'te have second names

For example: Y'shtola Rhul

[hardy token]

thats not her second name

[wintry chasm]

It is

[hardy token]

thats the name of her clans breeding male

[wintry chasm]

Yes

[hardy token]

from naming conventions

[wintry chasm]

Which is her last name

That is what their last name is for sun catgirls

[outer plank]

thats fascinating and weird at the same time

[wintry chasm]

Tis

[twilit arch]

just wanna note its specifically her father, not necessarily the clan's nunh

[wintry chasm]

Right

[hardy token]

Huh?

i thought its supposed to be their clans nunh

[twilit arch]

no

its specifically their father

which, for the most part, will likely be the nunh

[wintry chasm]

Yeah

[twilit arch]

but 1. if he's dead she's not going to change her name

and 2. there can be multiple nunhs in a tribe

[wintry chasm]

also 3. her mother coulda just gotten with some other guy?

[delicate field]

What makes you lose the returner icon?

[outer plank]

i thought y'shtola was an orphan

[tight plinth]

What is the easiest kamuy mount to get?

[wintry chasm]

Nah, she just ||got sent to live and train with Matoya|| @outer plank

[hardy token]

Ah i think i got it... its just that her clans nunh might be her dad because he already had her with another, doens't mean she is doing it with her dad lol... it just sounded a bit weird there in the beginning

ok since there can be more nunh it makes sense

[open coral]

Subjective, but probably Reveling or Auspicious.

[pine onyx]

Reveling probably

[hardy token]

but wouldn't all miqos not have the names of their fathers? or do they rename themselves when going with a nunh finally

[twilit arch]

females would have their father's name as their last name

[hardy token]

And Shtola never did

[twilit arch]

males have their title

and y'shtola does have her father's name as her "last name"

Y'rhul is her father

[wintry chasm]

Y'rhul Tia or Nunh

who knows what his status is

Like, I really really don't think sun cat tribal organisation is as consistent as one might think especially given miqo'te who might have integrated into other societies and stuff

[hardy token]

Its just something i want to wrap my head around because i'd like to rename my character based on it

and since square forces us to have a second name lol

[twilit arch]

if you're going female seeker, its just for the first name <clan letter>'<name> and for the last name <father's name>

[kind burrow]

Do trials in leveling roulette give less EXP?

[lost grove]

Best dungeon to farm for cryptlurker gear?

[rotund venture]

Is the Pandemonium already available to unlock or only later on?

[tall mountain]

any idea when drops from the extremes will become desynthable? 6.0.5?

[twilit arch]

yea cos its a single boss

[pine onyx]

Yes in old sharlayan

[rotund venture]

Ok thanks!

[lost grove]

Any answer to my question?

[open coral]

Don't farm dungeons.

[pine onyx]

If you really want to do it in dungeons then I guess paglth'an

[lost grove]

Oh how else am I supposed to get the gear then

[pine onyx]

Roulette

You don't have to get all your sets in a day

[rich jacinth]

Im gonna start with Eruka Anemos relic weapon where do I look for ppl to do this with nowdays?

[pine onyx]

If you're in a hurry hunts and eureka are a good way to get tomes

!faq poetics

[zinc orbit]

What should I spend my Poetics on? How do I get more?

Text guide on what to spend Tomestones of Poetics on

Video guide on how to get more Tomestones of Poetics

[open coral]

Daily roulettes, then hunt trains.

[inland pasture]

Do the EX trials have the same drops?

[faint flare]

No

[inland pasture]

What does he drop?

[faint flare]

EX1 drops accessories

[pine onyx]

Who's "he"

[open coral]

Just from roulettes you can get a minimum of 1100 poetics per day.

[faint flare]

Ex2 weapon

[open coral]

More if you get a first time player.

[inland pasture]

||Zodiark||

[pine onyx]

As vinyl said then

[lost grove]

What if I don't do hunts lol

[open coral]

Then daily roulettes. You can cap every two resets easily.

[lost grove]

Ok

[open coral]

And fully gear in about three.

[lost grove]

Kk

[open coral]

You can also get a very small quantity of poetics from beast tribes.

[pine onyx]

Yeah very small

Think 200 a day at most

[open coral]

Not even.

[pine onyx]

15 per quest x 12

180 total

[open coral]

I'm pretty sure you only get 5 per day from the ARR tribes.

I could be wrong.

[pine onyx]

Could be right, I tend to avoid arr tribes

[open coral]

Yeah, it's only 5 per day from ARR tribes.

[lost grove]

Oh

[open coral]

Now? The mogstation

[lost grove]

Is the book still good?

Think wt lol

[pure copper]

for retainers, does only ilvl matter?

[open coral]

WT? Yeah, you can still get some tomestones from that too.

[pure copper]

ppl whove done the event previously have access to it i think, since ive seen a few ppl just handing em out

[boreal storm]

It gives half a level’s worth of exp, might as well

[queen yoke]

Hi I have a few questions about crafter and gatherer gear throughout the new expansion can anyone answer them?

[pulsar kayak]

i can pretty much throw this away right?

not really anyuse for these anymore right?

[twilit arch]

yeah can toss the nier coins

they have no use

[sand steppe]

As an RDM, should I still burn Acceleate/Swiftcast if I've got both procs still running, or wait for one to fall?

[warm snow]

Wrong

[sand steppe]

Just burn Swiftcast, maybe?

[warm snow]

It's from the first Christmas event but it's sellable on mb and people do so around this time of year when the Christmas vendor comes back

[warm snow]

That's correct, mb is also pretty cheap

[fast talon]

is SSS scaled for tanks?

[tight plinth]

any rdm mains here, what is the most easiest rotations for new rdm players?

A question

[warm snow]

!faq rdm50

[zinc orbit]

Level 50 Beginner Infographic

[dire prawn]

Right now my 25 PGL and 31 DRG are sharing a couple pieces of gear but I want to have separate glams on them

Can I have separate glams on the same gear?

[queen yoke]

you can link gearsets to a specific glamour plate

[tight plinth]

tysm

[pulsar kayak]

how XD

[lost sable]

why is my sprout icon gone if i didnt start the EW msq?

[warm snow]

Yes

[dire prawn]

how

[warm snow]

It goes away after finish arr msq and enough hours

[sand steppe]

Wow, I didn't know that was a command, but, like, I'm also impressed with how fast that was updated

[warm snow]

Right click

[lost sable]

how many?

[crimson gale]

hey guys, can anybody help me by explaining how the new normal raid gear works? like how is it capped? as in the items i can get/need from a run or how many pieces of gear i can exchange per week?

[hidden cypress]

how much crysta do i need for 10.99€ subscription

[dire prawn]

Oh

wtf

[warm snow]

That's from when sb came out

[dire prawn]

oh

[open coral]

1 piece per fight per week

[warm snow]

One coffer item per fight per week

[twilit arch]

some people are getting it from people handing it out or the marketboard, but not all

so no, its not entirely wrong

[dire prawn]

Question

[crimson gale]

@warm snow @open coral so if a chest piece needs 4 of the smaller chest pieces does that mean it takes 4 weeks just to get 1 chest piece?

[dire prawn]

When I have a gearset linked to a glamour plate does that mean any new gear I get automatically has the glamour applied?

[hidden cypress]

how much crysta do i need for 10.99€ subscription?

[warm snow]

You can get 1 chest piece from each fight

[remote lintel]

@dire prawn when you switch to that gearset it applies the plate

[dire prawn]

pog

[warm snow]

This only happens in areas where glamour plates can be applied

Ie cities

[twilit arch]

1099 crysta

[hidden cypress]

thx

[fluid oracle]

Which server region should i play on?
How long are European queues?
Im American EST and i normally get 4k queues on American servers in the afternoon and almost no queue early mornings. I'm lvl 26 but I'm tempted to switch to Euro servers but I don't know how morning and afternoon queues are and I wouldn't want to start over.

[warm snow]

Whichever ones closest to your physical location

Depends on the time of day

[open coral]

I'm also American EST and haven't seen really excessive queues until late afternoon - after 5pm EST usually.

Although they do start climbing around 4pm

[remote lintel]

Eu servers arent going to be better

based on what ive heard theyre actually worse

considering they only have 2 DCs

NA has 3

[warm snow]

ALL servers are under heavy strain atm

It's a very very good thing that they didn't bring out dc travel as planned

[fluid oracle]

i mean will lag be that bad? i have pretty good internet..

[pure copper]

whats your definition of bad lag/ping

[remote lintel]

!faq datacenterip

[zinc orbit]

Datacenter IP Addresses

List of IP Addresses for each Datacenter

North America

how do I ping the IP?

Windows: Open Command Prompt and type ping *insert IP Address here*
Mac: Open Terminal and type ping *insert IP Address here*

[open coral]

If you're looking to avoid queues, switching to and EU or JP DC isn't going to make enough of a difference from that standpoint, and yes. The lag can be noticeable.

[fluid oracle]

Alright so it doesnt matter what server or region i pick...gotcha...

[pulsar kayak]

this is on MB?

i dont' see the stralight leggings

[warm snow]

Pretty much

Starlight is on store, dream is on mb

[pulsar kayak]

they look so different o-o

[warm snow]

Dream is the main one people use cuz people resell

[remote lintel]

the only region that doesnt have long queues is jp and i have no idea why

[ashen adder]

what does 'best %' mean on fflogs?

[open coral]

JP queues get bad during their peak hours. At least on the English-speaking servers.

[fluid oracle]

seems like its better to play in mornings tho...and i didnt have to wait long in order to play in EU...

[remote lintel]

of course its going to be better in off peak hours

and on weekdays during the day

@ashen adder the best record for that person iirc

[pulsar kayak]

well at least on Elemental Ramuh...

JP peak hour i get 50 queues at most

Lol....

it's ghost town here

most time it's like <5

[open coral]

Tonberry and Kujata are pretty much always closed to new character creation, even during off-peak JP hours.

[ashen adder]

i get it, but how is it in %, what is it comparing to

[remote lintel]

the percentile

theyre in the 73rd percentile

so theyre better than 73% of people who uploaded logs for that class for that fight

[pine onyx]

100 is the best recorded performance

[ashen adder]

ah I get it ty

and does the colors on the site on each performance mean something or ? i guess purple is the best

[open coral]

Pink is the best.

[remote lintel]

colors are rankings

[open coral]

Orange is second best.

[remote lintel]

purple is 4th

[pallid basin]

how do shields stack if at all? if i put a stronger shield does it replace it? and if someone has a shield from another healer what happens?

[remote lintel]

i thought it was the opposite aura

[open coral]

I'm pretty sure pink is 100?

[twilit arch]

pink is 100

er sorry no

100th percentile = gold
99th percentile = pink
95-98th percentile = orange
75-94th percentile = purple
50th-74th percentile = blue
25-50th percentile = green
sub 25th percentile = gray

[pine onyx]

They stack

[pallid basin]

even from same ability?

[twilit arch]

no

[twilit arch]

if you use adlo on the same target twice

the stronger of the two shields will take over

[pine onyx]

No, only from different skills

[outer lodge]

where can i get more level 70 survival manuals? or level 80 ones etc

[twilit arch]

and also not all shields stack

i.e adlo and eurekasian dignosis will not stack

[pallid basin]

but different abilities stack unless it says otherwise right?

[twilit arch]

mhm

[pine onyx]

I'm not sure if adlo says so

[twilit arch]

can have say tbn and divine benison on a target

or tbn and adlo

[pallid basin]

so haima, panhaima and one eukrasian can all be on same target

[remote lintel]

sch and sage shields dont stack

[twilit arch]

technically yes, but like you don't want to do something like that

esp with how haima and panhaima operate

[pallid basin]

yeah ik just wanted to understand how it works

[pine onyx]

On an small tangent, TBN seems to take prio over other shields

As soon as you lose 25% of your hp in shields it seems to proc

[remote lintel]

priority is based on duration iirc

and tbn is short

[twilit arch]

higher shield value means its prioritized higher

[faint flare]

Off global Shields will stack, gcd Shields dont

Generally

[echo violet]

how many party finder groups do you guys usually see during peak hours?

[remote lintel]

for what

[echo violet]

like just in general/total

[remote lintel]

a lot?

[echo violet]

every time i checked there seemed to only be 50 total for anything

[open coral]

50 is a lot

[remote lintel]

^

[echo violet]

oo gotcha

guess I just wasn't aware what's considered a lot/a little

[remote lintel]

people dont need pf outside of endgame duties and some niche stuff

[echo violet]

i c

[tight plinth]

can you sell poetic equipments for poetics?

[faint flare]

No

[tight plinth]

okie

[pulsar kayak]

wait wtf..... there is a problem with glamour... it own't let me glamor i520 over the i530 for some reason

[remote lintel]

its equip level not ilvl

[pulsar kayak]

um

ok

but i am lv 85...

i can wear the i520

i can wear the i530

[remote lintel]

whats the level of the item you have equipped and whats the lvl of the glamour

[pure copper]

the apperance has to be lower or equal equip level (not i level)

[pulsar kayak]

but i can't glam the i520 on the i530

i530 is lv 80, i520 is lv 81, i am lv 85

[remote lintel]

yeah so the glamour is higher level

so you cant glamour it

[fluid oracle]

so i was on Aether, Gilgamesh which gave me a 4k queue time
then i switched to Aether, Mephina which was a 42 queue time? Is all the new players just on gilgamesh or somethin???

[alpine shadow]

530 is shadowbringers savage gear, whilst the 520 is probably endwalker leveling gear

[pulsar kayak]

yea

[tall mountain]

yup, it's the weapon equip level that matters

[pure copper]

i think gilgamesh is always packed. im on sarg and i had a 45 q 2 hours ago

[tall mountain]

not its item level

[pulsar kayak]

wow

that's so werid

[alpine shadow]

just wear a higher lvl to make it glam

[tall mountain]

the i530 is level 80, so you can't glamour an ilvl 520 lvl 81 gear

[hollow inlet]

Any tips for beating Lakshmi in the solo duty?

[remote lintel]

you cant use a lvl 80 glamour if youre wearing lvl 50 stuff thats weird

[fluid oracle]

WOW SO I SHOULDNT HAVE PICKED THAT AS MY HOME WORLD?!? WISH I KNEW THAT BEFORE I CHOSE IT GRRRRR

[remote lintel]

it has to be the same or higher

[pure copper]

did u just create a char? or is it one youve been playin ga while

[remote lintel]

i mean aether in general is just packed because of all the streamers there

[fluid oracle]

ive played for like a week and i dont have any close friends to tell me anything 😔

[pure copper]

honestly depending on how much youve played that week, could be worth just...mnaking a new toon

[runic marten]

Where is the bard lvl 60 quest I looked it up and it said it was I. Quarry bill but I don’t see the quest?

[fluid oracle]

i have no knowledge on what servers are for what

[open coral]

I would strongly recommend trying to make a new character on Primal DC.

Our queue times are way better.

[fluid oracle]

toon? im lvl 26, 12 in another and 10 in another class. i dont wanna lose that progress and progress on side quests too...😭

[open coral]

Toon = character

[remote lintel]

i hate that word

[cyan kelp]

You don't have to switch, the queue times are better than they were at launch, they'll steadily decline over time

[spiral mango]

Do infusions and tinctures share the same cooldown ?

[pure copper]

honestly, if youve already watched those cutscenes, u can just skip em on a new char too, which speeds up the early game a lot

plus you have your game knowledge that carries over, which helps speed things up

[covert pumice]

what does one get for doing all 3 parts of coeurlregina?

[pure copper]

is it possible to store unopened maps on my chocobo/retainers to have multiple of the same tier?

[remote lintel]

yes

[fluid oracle]

hmmm i think ill stay and prob change my home world. i dont wanna do all that WALKING again

[pure copper]

your call. i didnt wanna spend $18 for something i could do for fun lol

[cyan kelp]

Adamantoise has a relatively short queue at the moment

Plus I can help you with your dungeons if need be while you're here

[craggy tinsel]

Is world transferring disabled right now or nah?

[pure copper]

ive heard of 7 hour queue times

[remote lintel]

no i think they re enabled it recently

[craggy tinsel]

Oh nice

[rich jacinth]

I bought a mogstation mount but still havent recived it

Was like a few hours ago

[open coral]

Mail servers are just as congested as login servers

[rich jacinth]

i recieved 2 out of 3 items so far

[open coral]

Could take a couple of days.

[warm snow]

You were told to allow up to 10 working days

[rich jacinth]

Oh was I

I just clicked thro and was hyped

😄

[warm snow]

Give it a day before you complain especially given the current situation

10 working days is just legally covering their own asses

[fluid oracle]

Buying character items, does that transfer across other characters or just one?
can people from different home worlds play with each other?

[open coral]

Items on the mogstation will specifically say if they're Account Wide or Single Character. Most are Single Character.

You can play with people from any server on your datacenter, currently.

They have plans to introduce cross-datacenter play, but those are on hold with the server situation being what it is.

Probably not til post 6.1 at this rate

Hi, can someone help me with some questions on purchasing endwalker?

[open coral]

They're the same.

[astral cairn]

Hi quick question about the SE accounts, if I were to move to another region, can I eventually change my SE account region for better payment? Can I also pay via paypal? 😄

[velvet notch]

thanks, my friend is on a free trial acc if he purchases endwalker can he actually play the game? i don t think endwalker comes with a subscription

[warm snow]

He needs to buy the base game, which isn't for sale atm

[open coral]

No, you can't change your account's region once it's set. Yes you can pay via paypal by buying Crysta using paypal.

[hidden cypress]

how does new astrologian work

[astral cairn]

Thank you 😄

[fluid oracle]

its ok, i mean pubs have been pretty good. Midgardsormr queue was short
but how is adamantoise during the America EST morning

[velvet notch]

ok thanks, if he were to get a starter/complete edition somewhere else, his idea, would he be able to play then? Also i have the game can i renew sub to play?

If you played SHB, basically the same for the most part.
Shuffle can only be used once per card
Divination doesn’t use the seal system at all. Astrodyne uses the seal system now
Draw has two charges
AST is now treated as always in Diurnal Sect
Lord/Lady are now AoE Damage/Heal oGCDs with their own buttons

[warm snow]

Yes, but anywhere selling is incredibly questionable atm and yes

[open coral]

Verified retailers aren't currently selling the game at all, so the only way he could get a key elsewhere would be from a sketchy third-party site, which is not recommended.

[velvet notch]

ok tyvm ^^ to everyone

[graceful lantern]

i noticed there's a new sound option called "enable normal battle music" what does that do specifically in what fights/openworlds/dungeons?

[hidden cypress]

should i still be aiming for 3 different signs every time

[obsidian patio]

No

Well yes, but don’t delay astrodyne

[hidden cypress]

so still use off cd

oh..

[warm snow]

It has a 1s CD, you use it as soon as its full

[open coral]

It affects the battle music played during normal combat in the overworld. If you don't have that option on, you'll jsut hear the zone music when you're in combat except in FATEs, which will play the FATE combat music.

!faq melding

[zinc orbit]

Materia & Melding FAQ

How do I unlock melding?

Complete Forging the Spirit (materia extract/npc melding) and Waking the Spirit (player melding) in Central Thanalan.

How can I get my gear melded?

To meld visible Materia slots a NPC melder in any major city will do (marked with a Blue Materia icon on the map). To overmeld gear you'll need to request another player to meld your gear or to do it yourself.

Why can't I meld this Materia to my stuff?

Every Tier of Materia has a minimum item level requirement that gear must meet to allow melding of that Tier. Tier 6 Materia requires an item level of 290 while Tiers 7 and 8 require an item level of 420.

Why is my meld giving +0 stats?

Every item has a maximum amount of stats that can be given through melding and the natural stats found on the gear. This can be seen at the bottom of the Materia Melding menu, as seen in the picture below.

The secondary stat with a higher number is already at the cap and cannot be further melded.

Yes cause your job only uses 1 main stat

While the rest are useless

[tardy epoch]

they all give strength

[boreal storm]

But what job are you

[tardy epoch]

[open coral]

Yes

[faint flare]

Yes

[hidden cypress]

is it still fun

[faint flare]

Yes

[open coral]

Yes

[hidden cypress]

or should i do another dps class

ok

[sour rock]

its hard to say if its fun for you lol

[open coral]

Personally I think it's more satisfying now that old SMN was.

[sour rock]

the aesthetic and appeal is amazing, youre a bad ass summoner

summoning massive primals

but its very simple

[open coral]

Bahamut and Phoenix stances feel more impactful.

[faint flare]

It's an actual summoner not a janky fucking mess

[hidden cypress]

is there a dps class that someone who plays astro would like

[sour rock]

most of the dps classes are honestly fun

simple doesn't mean boring or bad, but hm i can't equate ast healing to be similar to any of the dps lol

i guess mini game? like bard?

[hidden cypress]

isnt bard kinda supportive

[sour rock]

yeah

[open coral]

BRD is really strong right now, actually.

[sour rock]

and it got a lot of love this patch, it's a machine gun class

[open coral]

It has support built in, but it's a really good ranged dps class.

[hidden cypress]

is it good in potd

[sour rock]

youre pretty engaged with it too, like there's things constantly happening

[open coral]

I'm sure it's fine in PotD

[sour rock]

id wager in the MB they're aoe gods compared to most people

[hidden cypress]

alright i might do archer stuff then

[sour rock]

the only warning i'd give for bard

is takes a while for it to actually turn into bard

[sacred apex]

What is a good ex 89 trial guide?

[hidden cypress]

do you just mean like level up 30 times

[open coral]

I think he means that he doesn't think it feels like a bard until higher levels.

I disagree.

But that's subjective.

[sour rock]

leveling bard personally was one of the worst things ive felt i've done in the game, but hte payoff was so worth it. lvl 90 bard has to be one of the most engaging classes

and fulfilling

[hidden cypress]

are dps queue times still rly high

[sour rock]

but yeah subjective

[open coral]

I mean, I've been queueing solo dps specific dungeons, and my queue are usually in the 15 minute range.

So... ish?

[hidden cypress]

ill probably do it i could play instruments too

[sweet terrace]

Out of archer, rogue, puglist and dragoon, which one of these is the most fun to play?

[hidden cypress]

what lv does the class need to be to start in potd

[open coral]

1

oh nice

[raven bolt]

do you guys think o11s is soloable at 90?

[obsidian patio]

Probably not purely due to the DPS check

Might need to wait until the 2nd or last tier of Endwalker gear for a chance at it.

[raven bolt]

Hmm ok, now question is, can you burn down o11s?

[errant mesa]

Those raids are pretty annoying solo and slow fights

[obsidian patio]

I’ve never done the fight so I can’t say.

[sacred apex]

I’m planning on doing 89 ex soon, though I am a bit nervous doing it not gonna lie since this’ll be my first ex trial. Any good guides for it?

[obsidian patio]

I like Joonbob and Yukizuri’s guides on it.

(YouTube)

[open coral]

Just find a blind prog learning group. Then nobody will know what they're doing.

[warped nest]

Maybe do 83 ex first to get your feet wet? It doesn't have any mechanic where one player mistake can take out half the party, but it still has the rhythm and pacing you'd get from EX trials

Would I be able to get my level 58 samurai to level 80 in about a week? Btw I don't have bozja

alt or main job @atomic jewel

[open coral]

Yes. Especially if you're willing/able to sit for 8+ hours per day just straight queueing leveling dungeons and doing roulettes.

You can also do beast tribes and daily hunt bills to supplement while you're queueing.

[astral cairn]

Quick question, it looks like this still sells keys https://www.newegg.ca/square-enix-final-fantasy-xiv-online-starter-edition/p/N82E16832166276?Item=N82E16832166276

If I were to buy it can I still buy expansion via paypal (since I need to make a NA SE account and I am based in EU :/)

[hard aurora]

@astral cairn dont buy it from a reseller.

but yes, to answer your question

[astral cairn]

Can i still add SE EU accounts as friends?

[hard aurora]

i dont believe so, no. only in your data centre

EG - america can only add america friends, etc

[open coral]

If your character is on an EU datacenter, you can add friends from that datacenter.

[hard aurora]

but in regards to the reseller, you risk -

1. buying a faulty key
2. having said key chargebacked from whoever purchased it first resulting in an account ban

[silver ruin]

uh

that looks like an SE account for new egg

has a bunch of their other products listed

and new egg is normlly safe

https://www.newegg.ca/SQUARE-ENIX-USA/BrandStore/ID-2003 is the store id for it

[primal relic]

Will I still be Q up with blacklisted ppl in DF/Rou even if they’re a mentor?

[silver ruin]

yes

[open coral]

Yes

[primal relic]

Dang that be awkward. Will they be invisible?

[silver ruin]

no

you just wont see what they say

[open coral]

Blacklist only makes it so they can't join your PF parties, DM you, and you can't see what they type.

[hidden cypress]

how do i get to this place in the ruby sea

[zinc bramble]

If you follow the directions in the quest you should find a cave that leads down

I think the entrance is near the pin

[hidden cypress]

yeah i probably did that but then i took a big ass break

so i dont remember

[blissful tinsel]

Do macro icons only work if it's an icon used by your current job? I tried using different icons, but they don't work.

[hidden cypress]

they should work all the time

[blissful tinsel]

So I have:
/ac "Closed Position" <c> /micon "Closed Position"
And I'm using this guide to try and change the "Closed Position" into something else:
https://imgur.com/a/Jufo0#yREAN3O

But nothing works.

[fast talon]

its in a cave

[hidden cypress]

where da cave at

[fast talon]

try exploring

[hidden cypress]

wym by trying to change it into something else

[tidal skiff]

Can someone help me? I accidentally removed a spell square when in cursor mode on console. Is there any eay to bring it back?

[blissful tinsel]

The list of macro icons I sent in the link.

[hidden cypress]

what are you changing it to

[blissful tinsel]

Literally anything else, but nothing works beyond the DNC moves.

[river lava]

iirc you need to name it as /micon "skillname" Job

[hidden cypress]

idk on my macros when i micon to astrologian i ahve to do /micon "Astrologian" classjob

so u probaly need like an id after it

[slow isle]

Dude, what the fuck? I don’t log in for like a week, and I get a whole message about my account being terminated? I haven’t even playing, just logging in.

[ripe hound]

Can you elaborate?

What did the message say?

[slow isle]

Hold on

[blissful tinsel]

Do you literally write "classjob" or do you put the name of your job there?

[hidden cypress]

classjob

[river lava]

name of job

[blissful tinsel]

I'm confused now. Do both work?

[river lava]

nvm i got confused, follow what biz said

[blissful tinsel]

Oh, okay. Let me see if that works.

[river lava]

thought you were talking about job actions for a sec

[slow isle]

“Your Square Enix account was terminated due user agreement violation, compromised account or other anonymous reason. If you have any questions, please contact the SQUARE ENIX Support Center”

Does this mean I lost my small house? Where’s the support contact?

[blissful tinsel]

Didn't work :(

[fast talon]

did u bot or RMT?

[hard aurora]

is there something at qll that you might have done

[hidden cypress]

it works if u do a class icon idk about skill icons

[hard aurora]

if you remember at all itll be useful

how did you purchase the game?

reseller or official?

[ripe hound]

Yeah you will probably need to contact support.
If there isn’t anything suspicious you have done, then it probably means your account is compromised.

[blissful tinsel]

That's what I was asking before. If macro icons are only applicable to the current job you are.

[slow isle]

No. I’m on console, and all I’ve done is logged in, since my rp partner stopped writing with me.

[ripe hound]

Yeah, sounds like account stolen?

[obsidian patio]

It can be any job as long as it’s an action that still exists

[river lava]

nah, you can use icons from any class even if you didnt unlock it

[hard aurora]

its possible your account got jacked or somrtjing

[hidden cypress]

i got tons of jobs

[blissful tinsel]

Okay, this macro:
/ac "Closed Position" <c> /micon "Sic" classjob
Didn't work.

Icon went to default.

[hidden cypress]

https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/playguide/db/text_command/e6e219e1adc/

[obsidian patio]

Sic would be a petaction

[hidden cypress]

look at the category thing and choose what fits ur macro icons type

so /micon "Sic" pet

[obsidian patio]

Or I think it’s just “pet”

[hidden cypress]

didnt work for me

[obsidian patio]

Classjob is only for the icon of the class/job

[lyric warren]

can u buy the mount from zodiark with totems?

[slow isle]

It’ll suck if they can’t return my small plot.

[obsidian patio]

No

[blissful tinsel]

Didn't work.

[robust crow]

will there be a new crafted gear set for crafters too with savage release?

[ripe hound]

No, need to wait

[obsidian patio]

Crafters won’t get new gear until 6.1

[hidden cypress]

yeah that didnt work but i put an archer skill with category "action" and it worked

[robust crow]

also, are there recipe books to get right now

[raven sage]

not right now

[robust crow]

ok so just keep dumping white scrips into materia I guess

[blissful tinsel]

Tried companion, pet, classjob, none are displaying the icon.

[hidden cypress]

are u trying with sic as the icon

[blissful tinsel]

Yeah? I put the macro I'm using.
/ac "Closed Position" <c> /micon "Sic"

[obsidian patio]

Oh wait I know why now

Sic is gone

[hidden cypress]

yeah idk sic didnt work for me

oh

[obsidian patio]

So no icon for it

[river lava]

RIP

[hidden cypress]

i did /micon "Straight Shot" action | and it worked

[ripe hound]

What about Chocobo Sic?

The Chocobo Companion Sic?

[hidden cypress]

also where is the cave in ruby sea

[blissful tinsel]

What if I try "Free Stance"?

[obsidian patio]

That would be “Free Stance” or “Attacker Stance” if they work

[river lava]

west side you have to dive iirc

[blissful tinsel]

Nope, didn't work.

Wait.

[river lava]

if its the kojin hideout

I put companion after "Free Stance" and it worked. Finally.

[hidden cypress]

how do i dive

[blissful tinsel]

[river lava]

one of the biggest reasons why i hate the area

[last dock]

can you solo the Heavensward extremes now?

[glad robin]

Is there a server that is used to coordinate the ixion mount?

[outer mural]

you can solo bismarck, ravana, sophia, thordan and zurvan pretty reliably with most classes though healing on the latter two would be preferred for extra comfy

sephirot yes on a tank but it's RNG due to how the mechanic can pan out

niddhogg does a LOT of damage so i believe you need a tank as well

it's the same as before in ShB, maybe a bit easier

[outer mural]

https://discord.gg/S8fKQvh

[indigo mural]

Is corps a corps part of the rotation or do I keep it exclusively to get in for the melee combo?

[outer mural]

click on the FATE you want, ie ixion, then you should be good

[last dock]

Tried Thordan just now but can't beat the two guys that give each other the attack and defense buff

[outer mural]

keep it off cooldown to not overcap

[leaden ginkgo]

do I have to do crystal tower to progress the story

[outer mural]

otherwise if you can save it for gap-closing then yeah

you have two charges so always try to keep it on cd while saving 1

but usually you don't need it if you plan out movement or anticipate mechanics

[outer mural]

yes

[outer mural]

at level 90 with a DPS, yeah?

[last dock]

yeah, RPR

[leaden ginkgo]

how long does the raid take in total

[outer mural]

like 3 hours at worst if oyu do the entire questline start to finish

[outer mural]

yeah you may have to tank if the two tether dudes are giving you trouble then

if you genuinely need to farm it, set up a PF instead of trying to solo imo

[indigo mural]

Alright

[leaden ginkgo]

do i just use duty finder to complete labyrinth of the ancients because it says there is only a 5 min queue

[outer mural]

yes

you are intended to

[boreal storm]

Unless it’s an EX Savage etc, use duty finder

[leaden ginkgo]

wow insta q

[river vortex]

Finally got 90 on a crafter, i need to get the purple scrip gear now right? Ehats the best way to farm those?

[glad robin]

Thanks

[last dock]

managed to get past that, now I'm stuck at the part where you get stunned for like 20 seconds and take a shining spear to the face before Thordan one shots you

[glad robin]

Also how do you start faux hollow stuff? Like is there a menu where I can access it?

Cuz I did the quests that unlocked it

nvm its from gathering right

[pure copper]

[pulsar kayak]

can you do platoon duty without sync?

[open coral]

No

[leaden ginkgo]

Is the gear from special events only obtainable through that event

I saw a guy with noctis clothes and his car and he told me it was from an event a while ago

[open coral]

That particular gear was from the FFXV crossover event. We don't believe it will be coming back again, and we don't know whether it will end up on the cash shop later or not.

Typically, holiday event items end up on the mogstation after 12 months, but so far crossover event rewards do not.

[leaden ginkgo]

What about the NieR automata gear, that’s gone too? Like not even on the market board?

[open coral]

NieR gear comes from the level 80 Alliance raids.

It can't be bought or sold on the MB, but it's permanent content.

[leaden ginkgo]

Oh is it?

[open coral]

Yep

[leaden ginkgo]

Level 80, damn that’s far away tho

[glad robin]

So I am confused on where to go. Do I need to unlock zadnor in order to do delubrum? Or is that like something I can do before zadnor?

Am I supposed to upgrade a relic weapon or something all the way first?

[open coral]

You need to be rank 15 in Bozja in order to unlock DR.

[glad robin]

Ah okay gotcha

[open coral]

You shouldn't need to have done the relic weapons for that.

[glad robin]

Oh wait nvm I see a side quest I got to do

The one where you have to meet Mikoto?

Cuz he’s saying go to find her and then continue. I completed the first raid part already

Yes, you need to do the main storyline in Gangos.

if i'm on book 9 of the atma relic (ARR) on PLD, can i start my BLM books? or will my PLD get reset

I didn't touch anything in the files as well

[patent citrus]

if the symbol says carpenter, then you need carpenter lv 30 to desynth the gear

[midnight tinsel]

were do you trade in ex totems ?

[ripe hound]

Which EX?

[last dock]

Ah so need Blacksmith and Armorer

gotcha

[midnight tinsel]

ex 1

[patent citrus]

system restore/your back up files messing up your my games file

[ripe hound]

EW EX are all in Raz at Han

[midnight tinsel]

kk thx

[patent citrus]

the macro is located on your my document -> my games -> ffxiv -> your character code

[patent citrus]

can't trade ex totem yet till later patch afaik

[jade birch]

How do I know my Character Code?

[midnight tinsel]

ah ok rip

[patent citrus]

you need to remember the creation date

[ripe hound]

Oh you can trade ex totem for gear

[patent citrus]

and sort the folder by the creation date

[ripe hound]

Just not mount

[midnight tinsel]

generally which patch is it ?

ah ok nice just want another accesory that hasnt dropped yet

thx

[ripe hound]

Likely 6.2 for mount

[faint flare]

2 patches since they were added

[ripe hound]

Yeah, just go trade equipment

[patent citrus]

oh right, didn't think of that, thought you want the mount trade

[ripe hound]

Equipment good

[patent citrus]

sry2

[jade birch]

@patent citrus I have two character folders and I think the other one is the character I deleted

[ripe hound]

Free ilv

[patent citrus]

then open the folder, when it's last updated

[midnight tinsel]

@jade birch?

[ripe hound]

What should Min ilv be for new savage?

[patent citrus]

if the last updated is recent, then that's the character you want

[ripe hound]

570?

[jade birch]

Sorry. Wrong Quote

[jade birch]

I found it. What should I do now?

[dry void]

Anybody know for sure if damage buffs/debuffs affect LB or not?

[patent citrus]

nope

[patent citrus]

hmm not sure, did you made a change on my games folder before?

[river vortex]

Finally got 90 on a crafter, i need to get the purple scrip gear now right? Whats the best way to farm those?

[patent citrus]

I'm just pointing, that's where your macro setting located

[craggy tinsel]

if you are willing to put any materia into it, HQ crafted is the better option for gear

[atomic jewel]

are beast tribe quests good for xp during dungeon roulettes?

[craggy tinsel]

especially since (iirc) the scrip gear isn't shared across jobs

[faint flare]

Player buffs/debuff doesn't affect it

[faint flare]

Yes

[jade birch]

Negative. It just yoinked it the moment I logged in today

[river vortex]

theres a single set of crafted gear across all crating jobs? And with melding its better than scrip?

[patent citrus]

maybe out of your knowledge?

[river vortex]

it isnt

[patent citrus]

how about your one drive setting?

https://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/msoffice/forum/all/how-do-i-stop-onedrive-from-syncing-my-games/1e9da7d2-233b-400d-b01f-b4bc20d94e68

[craggy tinsel]

yes and yes

[patent citrus]

one drive by default sync your my games folder

so if you don't disable it, it might change the my document folder a bit

[craggy tinsel]

tools are made by a mix of a few crafters (I think all but CUL/ALC); head/body/legs are made by WVR; hands/feet are made by LTW; accessories are made by CRP

[jade birch]

I disabled it before. I guess my Macros are gone for good. fml

[covert marlin]

is there no fps counter for ffxiv besides opening the menu?

xivlauncher used to have one, but it's no more :(

[river vortex]

whats the gearset name?

[craggy tinsel]

tools = Chondrite
head/body/legs = AR-Caean
hands/feet = Ophiotauroskin
accessories = Integral

[river vortex]

ah

[strange coral]

Nope, but you can use an overlay like msi afterburner/rivatuner, fraps, steam's fps overlay, etc.

[craggy tinsel]

if you would like me to DM you a full list of the item names, I can

[jade birch]

@patent citrus Thanks for the help. I guess I'll just redo my Macros.

[river vortex]

i thought there was a single name, wasnt it "aesthete" or something like that at lvl 80

[craggy tinsel]

We don't have this expansion's equivalent of Aesthete's yet

[river vortex]

ah no need i think i can just find the bottom-most gear from the crafting list

[craggy tinsel]

that will come later, I want to say someone said that Aesthete's came out with patch 5.3 so expect this expansion's equivalent around 6.3 I guess

to save you the time of rooting around for it, here's what crafters make what pieces for the current gear

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/917344568805064725/919951252169822228/unknown.png

[river vortex]

hmmm but still, lvl X materia you get with purple scrips right

[craggy tinsel]

yes

[strange coral]

iirc the first level 80 gear for dol/doh also had mixed names instead of being one named set

[craggy tinsel]

not that I was around for that, but I'd assume you're correct

aesthetes is an expert recipe if I'm not mistaken, so I'd assume when we start getting those we'll get our Aesthetes equivalent with EW

[river vortex]

gues ill still have to find a good collectible to farm purple scrips

[craggy tinsel]

I'm personally doing Rarefied Sykon Bavarois

Sykon are gathered in Zone 5 (not giving the name here)
Gelatin can be bought from a vendor in the Crystarium... forget his name, but he's at 9.0, 12.3
Ovibos Milk can be bought with bicolor gemstones in Zone 3 (again, not giving the name)
Palm Sugar can be made from Palm Syrup (6 Syrup -> 3 Sugar) in Zone 2

only one intermediate craft, and it uses crystals I had a relatively high amount of already with doing Coffee Biscuits with ShB

I say had because leveling the crafters up was a bit of a bitch lol

but one max collectability Bavarois is 144 purple scrip, and you need 500 for one X materia

[river vortex]

yeah, im almost bankrupt right now and i still havent maxed everyone

[craggy tinsel]

I'd focus on leveling them all up then, probably

[river vortex]

yeah, im doing that

i just only got cul to 90

[craggy tinsel]

If you're on Primal, I could help you with your gear, getting it to HQ

and you can work on materia from there

[river vortex]

im on hyperion

[craggy tinsel]

perfect

[last dock]

Is there a challenge where I can keep track of what Lanners I need to get for the Firebird?

[craggy tinsel]

don't think there's a specific thing in-game, but I can just give you the list of all seven if you need it

MSQ Tracker image guide

1. Your current or next Main Scenario Quest. These unlock a majority of content in the game and MUST be done.

2. An important Side Quest. This can be your Class and Job Quests, Side quests that unlock big features, or Side Quests that are REQUIRED to continue the MSQ. Look here if you can't continue your MSQ due to needing to complete a duty or sidequest.

By default the MSQ Tracker is located at the top-left of your screen.

no, just the effect is gone

So I'm trying to track ways to make money. Checking out poetics the best one I could find is trading for Grade 3 Thanalan top soil (on my server) to make about 28k for 2k poetics. Does anyone else have any other good ideas?

Does the red mark on an apartment building mean its full?

[leaden ginkgo]

ty

[little fulcrum]

wait why does I remember it being 1k? Is it nerfed or something?

[narrow jay]

a) you could be remembering potencies before the stat adjustment; the melee/magic damage calculations behind the scenes were adjusted, so quite a few of the potencies changed as well

b) you could be thinking of Tech Step

[little fulcrum]

I see

When does 1 expansion usually last for?

[narrow jay]

Quite a few melee listed potencies got reduced. Samurai's Guren and Senei skills, for example, used to be 800/1100 potency respectively, and are now 500/800.

Two years, typically.

[little fulcrum]

Debating whether I should wait till next one to buy complete or just buy EW right now
I have SB and below atm

[hard aurora]

@little fulcrum rephrase the question?

oh

[vocal spruce]

i finish arr but i dont think i got the fantasia

[hard aurora]

when do expansions normally come out?

[vocal spruce]

is it a side quest or something?

[hard aurora]

every 2 years ish

@vocal spruce main scenario quest

impossible to miss

[little fulcrum]

Ok this is the answer I was seeking, thanks

[hard aurora]

np

[little fulcrum]

I'm at Stb atm, should I get EW now?

[hard aurora]

completly up to you

im assuming you have the older complete edition?

[little fulcrum]

yeah yeah

I'm only missing EW atm

[hard aurora]

yea its up to you

there wont be sales for a while anyways

[unborn lagoon]

Anyone been getting this error when launching?
https://i.imgur.com/wnvuYg3.png

[celest snow]

Is the nier automata raid limited or is it still available? If so, where do I go to start it?

[knotty sky]

not limited, its a dwarf-given questline that starts in kholusia

[celest snow]

is completing SHB 5.0 enough to try it?

[knotty sky]

need to be lvl 80 and have completed 5.0 MSQ also

[celest snow]

ok haha

ty!

[queen fern]

How much bait should I bring on an Ocean Fishing trip?

[urban grotto]

how much harder is The Great Hunt (Extreme) then its predessesor?

[tacit venture]

math Ilvl question assist: I have, Ilevel 570 weapon, ilevel 560 left side, ilevel 560 right side, ilevel 570 ring.

I have 380 tomes left and currently at 562 ilvl. What's the most optimal purchase to get me to 565 quickly ? (am mch)

[vivid dagger]

Does Delubrum Reginae give XP for classes under 90?

[knotty sky]

mechanically doesn't change that much, but:
-light party instead of full party, so 1 tank, 1 healer and 2 dps by default
-if you get downed thrice total then it automatically wipes you

also higher iLvl so yea it hits harder lol

[tacit venture]

forget my question, i'm so dumb

literally accessories are cheapest, gives same ilevel, so they're obvious choice for limited amt of tomestones

[narrow jay]

It's a pure average question, lol, so yeah accessories.

[tacit venture]

lolll ty ty

me @ level 564 ilvel with no more tomes

[obtuse crescent]

yes idk what to do

[delicate field]

when crafting, you can "Add to favorites". how do you access the favorites?

[delicate field]

wow it was too obvious to notice lol

[unborn lagoon]

I've only seen people bandaid fixing it by using "restore game data" on the launcher but I have no idea what would actually fix it

Or playing in dx9

But everytime I crash I end up getting those errors again anyways (on dx11)

[obtuse crescent]

no idea what dx means

resetting my pc seemed to fix it

[narrow jay]

"dx11" refers to DirectX 11, which is basically a program suite that interprets the stuff XIV is telling it into a language your computer can understand.

[celest snow]

is the nier automata raid really hard? or in other words, is it advised to watch a video before going in?

[unborn lagoon]

Which you can also find in the same settings on the launcher

[narrow jay]

I mean ... you can. It's harder than casual content, but not harder than, say, 9-12 level raids.

[celest snow]

so what you're saying is that I shouldn't worry

[outer mural]

1. no
2. it is recommended since it isn't necessarily hard but it has some mechanics you should understand
   bonus: it doesn't really matter but if you don't wanna risk dying or going in blind, watch, otherwise who cares

puppet's bunker has some spooky tells on the last boss for example

[celest snow]

ok, ty. I've always been really afraid of doing any raid related stuff since I'm really afraid of letting people down and making them mad.

[outer mural]

nah

[patent citrus]

for alliance raid, just wing it on DF

[urban grotto]

is The Great Hunt (Extreme) really hard?

[outer mural]

not really

[celest knoll]

Okay, so am I brain dead or is Reaper combo Slice -> Waxing Slice -> Infernap Slice

While the main aoe is just Spinning Scythe -> Nightmare Scythe?

[outer mural]

it's a 4-man and it's more punishing since there are fail conditions but it's not, like, mechanically challenging

[outer mural]

that is correct

[patent citrus]

if they are offensive to first timer, report and blacklist like usual

[outer mural]

if you wanna farm great hunt ex just get 4 dudes, unsync, and wreck house

[patent citrus]

we are full, tell them to play wow

[celest knoll]

Good, now all I need to do is figure out where to put the other skills on this controller hotbar.

[urban grotto]

wdym?

[outer mural]

do be aware about gibbet, gallows, and guillotine

[narrow jay]

Also, if people get mad at other players in casual content for simple mistakes then that's a problem with the mad player's attitude, and not you. Normal-level content isn't meant to be Ultimates; you can make loads of mistakes and still clear.

And most decent players can tell the difference between someone genuinely trying their best and messing up, and someone who's intentionally trying to fuck up runs.

[celest snow]

yeah, you're right. I should try to relax for a bit haha

[patent citrus]

don't let this kind of people get away with impunity, lol

[outer mural]

i was saying that if you want to farm The Great Hunt Extreme for the mount, you can set your party to unrestricted so you can go in at levle 90 or something, then kill it rather easily

[celest knoll]

Already for those on there

[celest snow]

thanks for the encouragement!
