ex scares me

urban grotto
#

i missed up

outer mural
#

You should not do a level 70 extreme by yourself

#

I do not know what your intention for farming Rathalos Ex is, I was merely advising that if you want the mount since you want to farm it, do it Unsync

true jolt
outer mural
#

otherwise if you wanna just fight it legit, grab a group on PF and do it with no settings changed

urban grotto
#

wait do I need to do it to get the mount?

worn crag
#

its less the mechanics and the concept of fucking it up and us wiping

outer mural
#

you have to do it to get the mount yes

#

it's a rare drop from it

#

or you beat it 50 times if your luck's bad

true jolt
tropic flame
#

So far after getting 50 scales, not a single mount has droppes

#

So its p rare

outer mural
#

I also had to get 50 but I got yoinked about 3 times

#

good thank Rath Ex is dogshit easy unsync

Hello everyone! I was wondering if anyone has dealt with the 90002 error. I've done everything possible to fix it and as a last resort, I've reinstalled and still no luck...

worn crag
outer mural
# pure copper what

i picked up the quests on a class that didn't need th exp so i deleted the quests then picked them up again

twilit arch
royal venture
#

hmm.. ok. I've reset my router too but no luck either 😦

remote lintel
#

why is bozja giving 230k exp when it was giving 330k before Thonk

tropic flame
#

A VPN maybe? Where are you playing from?

#

since youre in NA dc

royal venture
little fulcrum
#

I would say system downscale, but I need to know what "before" means

pure copper
remote lintel
#

did they lower the exp

outer mural
tropic flame
# royal venture from NA

shouldnt have much of an issue then since i play in EU from SEA
i only had that error once on patch day

#

Everything else works fine right?
Like browser and stuff

twilit arch
#

hm don't recall them mentioning it in the patch notes but its possible they made an adjustment

pure copper
tropic flame
royal venture
tropic flame
#

thats weird then

#

are you using 5G? Instead of naybe 2.4

outer mural
tropic flame
#

Cuz my router has 2 settings

royal venture
#

yea 5g and got ethernet connection

twilit arch
#

Then its possible there is a node in the path your internet is taking to connect to ff14 servers is down or something to taht degree

royal venture
#

ahh ok

true jolt
#

That could be the case. My friend during 5.5 have crazy disconnetion rate and delay then he swap to using vpn its fixed

Question regarding loot for new raid:|| So after i beat 4th circle i can get a unsung blade token once a week from 4th circle. Can I just immediately do a run for one or do i have to wait for next week?||

vivid elm
#

# vivid elm ok ty

Oh dont forget to claim token from every floor cause its weekly locked too

vivid elm
#

yup. got the gear from 1-3 and abt to do 4, so was previously just wondering if i needed to do 2 runs of 4 for the week

what hair style is this?

heady bramble
#

What does everyone tend to do with the attire coffers you get from job quests? e.g. lvl 50, 60 (running out of invent space)

twilit arch
#

greath lengths, you can buy it with mgp from the gold saucer @vocal spruce

true jolt
#

Or is that the AF armor?

heady bramble
narrow jay
#

I don't believe those are sellable, since they're unique to the job.

true jolt
heady bramble
#

😮

narrow jay
#

If you like the appearance, toss them in your glamour dresser for later use. Otherwise should be safe to discard.

true jolt
#

You can get back AF armor for basixally free via calamity salvager EXCEPT the lvl60 ones, you need to use centurio seals which is pain to get

heady bramble
#

I'm thinking of putting them in the armoire, but man the space is very limited

leaden ginkgo

How do I get Sassho-seki Fragment. I wanna get the fox headband

Why can't I desynth the Expanse Codex? I'm lvl 66 ALC

how hard is the zodiark ex fight?

true jolt

#

question regarding Skysteel tools: How do I complete the first upgrade on Gathering Tools? Like there's a lot of materials to collect here but idk how much of each I need and what do I do afterwards?

leaden ginkgo
twilit arch
#

WT is luck based, and also weekly

#

if you go the fate route, would recommend joining a hunt discord or just farming the 2nd to last fate for the fragments needed

true jolt
leaden ginkgo
#

This game really hate fate farmers

twilit arch
#

Outfoxed spawns fairly frequently

#

so you can get it done in a day ish, would take 6 of those

#

if you can catch foxy lady, you'd be one in one fate

pulsar kayak
#

the weekly is 580 or 590 right now?

twilit arch

580

the crafted lv90 is next week?

Yup

true jolt
leaden ginkgo
#

if i wanted to start leveling a new class where can i go to buy their weapon/equipment? specifically asking for PLD

warped nest
#

When you do the quest, you will get a starter weapon

#

For gear, you have no choices at lvl 1, you can just wear nothing

#

After you fully unlocked the class, buy something cheap from NPC

leaden ginkgo
#

yeah, i tossed the weapon unfortunately so i was wondering what vendor can i find that sells

warped nest
#

Those are mostly lvl 5-10

#

Garlandtools (website)

#

There should be a few gearing shortcuts there

#

One of them is for leveling

#

Standard vendors in starting cities should sell most gears below lvl 50

digital marsh
#

My game keeps launching in black and white with zero color. It was fine earlier, but idk what happened since I got home. Happened to anyone else?

delicate field
#

realistically, could Eden's Gate: Sepulture (Savage) be doable with 4 level 90s unsync?

tropic flame
warped nest
#

@delicate field uncertain, but I'd say, not until we get 6.2 and have the second savage raid

delicate field
#

@warped nestwhy would that make a difference??

warped nest
#

Significantly better gear

delicate field
#

oh i see

warped nest
#

You are planning to cheese mechanics by killing shit faster, and having more bulk to soak up damages

leaden ginkgo
#

So i want to visit another person house on a separate world. I teleported to their world, but how do i go to their house from there?

warped nest
#

Both of them would be must easier with better gear

#

I'm not saying this with absolutely certainty

#

Maybe it is possible to clear E4S with 4 lvl 90s right now, or later next month with P1-P4 Savage gears

true jolt
delicate field
#

are those attacks like super strong raid wiping attacks? ive never done the raid

warped nest
#

But from what I know about the mechanics, probably not very likely with i600 (max ilvl once savage raid it out next week)

true jolt
#

entering using 90 + echo means you can cheese those mechanic

#

and eat the dmg without dying

warped nest
#

But still, there are some limits to what you can cheese

#

As it is all stat calculations

potent shale
#

Is it me or does Mogstation items are coming a bit slow right now in the game

leaden ginkgo
#

when using glamour, can it be for all classes or if the item restricts, even for Glamour i cannot use clothing for X class

warped nest
#

Not enough stat, means can't cheese

true jolt
warped nest
warped nest
#

So if the fashion piece is a lvl 50 tank gear

leaden ginkgo
#

Thanks

warped nest
#

Then the function piece must not be lower level, or not be a tank piece

How do I get the idealized bale set for DRK?

potent shale
celest snow
#

Guessing that's a trial or raid I have to do a quest to unlock

potent shale
#

Its tied to the ShB Relic Weapon Quest too 🙂

true jolt
celest snow
#

Is that how I get the lux relic weapon for DRK?!

true jolt
#

different

fluid oracle
#

where can i buy greens to summon my chocobo?

potent shale
#

ShB is the Resistance Weapons

celest snow
#

Where do I begin?

potent shale
twilit arch
#

no

#

the resistance weapon starts in kugane

potent shale
#

Oh yeah true

twilit arch
#

but you need to have completed the Return to Ivalice alliance raids in order to be able to pick it up

potent shale
#

I forgot and its been like a year since that I completed that

ionic hazel
#

Is there a way to turn off the unable to execute command error message

#

like Spamming the extract materia

celest snow
#

If I haven't started doing any of the relic weapons or armor related content, I should start by doing the Return to Ivalice alliance raids then?

hallow crypt
#

how do people get such small hud

#

i already have all mine at 60%

twilit arch
#

if your end-goal is to get the idealized bale gear, then yes

narrow jay
twilit arch
#

yuo need to do that quest chain to unlock what you need

true jolt
hallow crypt
#

so i can't get it that small unless i got 4K res

celest snow
#

ok, thanks for the help!!!

ionic hazel
#

its just a pov thing

#

There are.... ways to get around that restriction but I wont dive into the details

blissful tinsel
#

When submitting materials to the resource inspector at the Firmament, are you limited submitting only one stack of that item? I have spares in my inventory, but it's not allowing me to submit them.

delicate field
#

5 at a time

blissful tinsel
#

Oh, okay.

boreal storm
#

And you have 5 gathering attempts per node, crazy how that works out

stuck kayak
#

Is eureka a semi-efficent poetic grind?

ionic hazel
#

do hunts

modest igloo
#

tho i find it best when you're getting poetics alongside grinding eureka relics and stuff

stuck kayak
#

Im trying to get two HW relics so I just thought I would farm eureka for the DRK relic and poetics for the materials

modest igloo
#

yep

#

thats a great way to do it

tacit venture
#

hm , where's da NPC that sells the latest materia to meld new gear in exactly ?

buoyant monolith
#

Is my steam trial still active?

slate arrow
#

did they say anything about revoking trials

boreal storm
#

They did not

twilit arch
#

they simply stopped people from being able to sign up for the trial

#

if you already have a trial acct. you can still use it

buoyant monolith
narrow jay
#

*provided there isn't a queue to log in to your server

jade quartz
#

Though it will be essentially impossible for trial players to log in during peak times due to the congestion

boreal storm
#

Also it’s Christmas break so...

jade quartz
#

Queue favours paying subscribers and will prevent free trials from joining altogether if queue is too long

autumn needle
#

So I'm leveling DRG to 50 with WHM at 55, still finishing ARR. My plan is to do the rest of MSQ with DRG and alt leveling WHM by spamming duty finder. That sound good or should I reverse?

narrow jay
#

All completely up to you, my friend.

boreal storm
#

Healers have faster queues

buoyant monolith
autumn needle
#

Abusing instaqueue was my basis for thinking this

jade quartz
#

Your method would be a logical one due to the queue time differences

buoyant monolith
#

I’m a patient guy

#

I can wait couple of hours or so

normal oasis

is there a christmas themed weapon for warrior? candy cane maybe?

theyre mad expensive

As in why are they mad expensive?

ionic hazel

theyre mostly used as the 4th or 5th pentameld materia so people break tons of them

To get atma for the relic weapon levelling thing, are the locations I need to grind fates the same every time? I am assuming they are, but thought I'd check...

Is the drop rate reduced?

#

Out of curiousity, if a healer is purposefully "playing bad" is it a valid reason to vote to dismiss them?

dude I dismiss healers if they let me die

such as a healer trying to cast cure 1 at 50+ content and not doing anything else despite the party asking otherwise

Ohhh okay! When I slot in skill speed materia the 2.5 will get lower?

Yes....not by a whole lot without crippling your damage though

and sometimes you want to keep it high depending on the class.

I'm using drk, at level 60

don't worry about melding skill speed yet

How can I tell if an item can be dyed?
leaden ginkgo

but I have good connection idk, slidecasting on BLM seems to be worth it but summoner is kinda meh atm

Every weapon that has the circle is dyeable

#

Also the marketboard is the place to buy stuff

vocal spruce
#

ty

cursive ridge
#

if you're super confident in your group ability to not die you can even use swiftcast for slipstream/ruby ruins

leaden ginkgo
#

though i'm also rather new myself so still die occasionally to mechanics i am not too familiair with

fiery pagoda
#

which is better gear, the current raid unsung gears or next new tier tomestone gears that will be ocming out in a few weeks

fiery pagoda
#

or are they bout the same

#

ah

modest igloo
#

but you can only get 450 tomes a week

#

so like 1 acc or weeks for a left side peice

leaden ginkgo

Is there a new tome gear on the way already?

modest igloo
#

ye

leaden ginkgo
#

Why are they rushing content so fast?

they arent

leaden ginkgo

this is how the patch cycle goes

midnight tinsel
cursive ridge
#

you dont have to rush and get everything

leaden ginkgo
#

I havent even started EW yet lmao

cosmic pilot
twilit arch
#

normal mode and savage are slightly staggered so people have time to work thru the new expac

#

you have roughly 3mos give or take to chew thru savage and collect astronomy

leaden ginkgo
midnight tinsel
cursive ridge
#

the only reason why pandemonium wasnt released day1 is that it would feel mega awful to feel rushed to complete the main story before the first weekly reset so you dont miss out on weekly raid lockouts

remote lintel
#

dungeon spam doesnt suck compared to bozja

twilit arch
#

Endwalker dungeons got an exp boost with 6.01

#

the weekly capped tomestone that comes with savage

remote lintel
#

theyre slightly better unless youre speedrunning fates in bozja

leaden ginkgo
#

Ah ok

leaden ginkgo
remote lintel
#

firstly healer queues are still slower bc of sage

#

secondly for EW 1 dungeon gives about half a bar in about 20 mins

twilit arch
#

healer queues haven't been that slow in my experience

#

atleast for endwalker dungeons

leaden ginkgo
#

70-80 EW dungeons OK bro

remote lintel
#

if 1 bozja fate gives you 330k exp then you would need to do about 20ish fates within an hour to be comparable to that

#

to get 1 level

leaden ginkgo
#

Not to mention that people who use 'firstly and secondly' I instantly see as massive dipshits because you're not saying anything revolutionary that I really feel like I need to listen to in the first place

pure copper
#

is the only gold saucer "daily" the 3 mini cactpot things?

remote lintel
#

don't spread misinformation if you don't know what youre talking about thanks

twilit arch
#

don't need to be rude, my dude

remote lintel
#

dungeons are comparable to bozja

#

they dont suck at all and theyve been the optimal way to level for a long time

midnight tinsel
#

Dungeons suck for leveling dps solo

leaden ginkgo
tawdry garnet
#

Can I discard these faded copy items from First raid dungeon?

remote lintel

outside of roulettes dungeons give the most exp

You can just buy the usable version on mb

Best source for 70 crafter gear? I have no scrips

robust crow
#

scrips

#

lol

#

at 70 all the gear gets standardized

#

do some custom deliveries if you don't have scrips

#

it's either that or buying NPC gear

errant mesa
#

Sad

robust crow
#

imo I don't think it's worth farming white scrips at that level

custom deliveries would be the best option

prob just wait till next Tuesday or something and work on another crafter

Yeah google will give you all of them

#

My Samurai still using the first weapon given by Musosai since lv50. Where do i get a new one im lv58

errant mesa
#

Like always, it's GC turn-ins, leves, studium, crystarium, beast tribe, and log

tawdry garnet
#

Buying in market?

errant mesa
#

Yes

#

Npc or market board

tawdry garnet
#

Thanks. I thought an MSQ will give a new one or something

errant mesa
#

Shire probably, but I don't recall

boreal storm
#

I would say do a dungeon but nah, 57 gonna end you

narrow jay
errant mesa
#

I only buy gear every ten

#

Gear only really matters for the last one or two quests of an expansion before shadowbringers

cursive ridge
#

for solo content, you can ignore all gear except poetics gear

errant mesa
#

Specifically, job quest instances

cursive ridge
#

it's only for group play people will be slightly annoyed if you don't use better drops inbetween

#

but if you're doign group play, you probably have a bunch of dungeon drops anyway

errant mesa
#

I find it becomes very difficult depending on the duty to clear job quest enemies if you're too underleveled

narrow jay
#

If I'm not doing anything with a class other than leveling/MSQ roulette/WTs to level, then yeah, I also only get tomestone gear every 10 levels. But if I'm doing other stuff with it, then level [x]3 dungeons are about where dungeon gear outpaces tomestone gear from the previous expansion, and [x]4 for HQ/[x]6 for normal quality white gear.

cursive ridge
#

never had any problems with just poetics ¯_(ツ)_/¯

errant mesa
#

Not like it'll put you in roulette content you're too weak for anyway

narrow jay
#

Also, most of your stats come from your gear, so being overleveled is only really beneficial so you can be over-geared—at which point you'll be synced down to a capped level/stat bonus anyway. So if you're being punished by a solo duty, either you aren't paying attention to the mechanics it's asking you to do, or you're egregiously undergeared.

#

the first Extreme trial from this expansion

errant mesa
#

The 83 trial

#

Abbreviated to Ex1 to avoid spoilers

cursive ridge
#

is

/ac Hide```
a macro basically every ninja makes for dungeons?
lilac bolt
#

Ok so it's from the current expansion, thanks I wasn't sure !

cursive ridge
#

so clunky to recharge mudras without it

boreal storm
#

Yeah the names are real spoilery

errant mesa
#

I just hide manually, it's not very hard

cursive ridge
#

annoying to right click the buff away

leaden ginkgo
#

Hey can someone explain how the xp boost for lvling alt classes work?

#

Like the farther away your first class is, the more the boost is?

cursive ridge
#

no, it's static

errant mesa
#

You get a bonus if your server has one, otherwise it's a flat bonus until it hits 80

cursive ridge
#

+100% xp if your alt below your main until 80

errant mesa
#

Assuming your highest is above that

cursive ridge
#

after 80 it's +50%

leaden ginkgo
#

I ran monk this whole time, it’s lvl 52, and I just started heavansward

#

I was thinking of switching to dragoon for msq from here on, mine is lvl 40

#

I could just run dungeons until I get to 50?

cursive ridge
#

yes

errant mesa
#

Pick two classes and run them through msq

boreal storm
#

Preferably not the same role

#

Because like

leaden ginkgo
#

Yeah that’s what I was thinking, but I also wanted to do the new shit

#

Like I’m told dark knight is in heavansward, and I’m a huge berserk fan

errant mesa
#

Drk is lame

leaden ginkgo
#

Is it

cursive ridge
#

if you're in ishgard you can start drk

boreal storm
#

Subjective

cursive ridge
#

drk is fine

errant mesa
#

And drk starts at 30

leaden ginkgo
#

Oh it starts higher, I guess to make things easier right

errant mesa
#

Of all the tanks it is probably the squishiest

#

A bit

queen halo
#

How do you lfg on here?

cursive ridge
#

all tanks are fine in all content

leaden ginkgo
errant mesa
#

After HW they made all new classes start -10 below the MSQ start

leaden ginkgo
#

What’s the other new job in heavansward

errant mesa
#

Machinist and Astrologian

cursive ridge
#

machinist and astrologian

boreal storm
leaden ginkgo
cursive ridge
#

ranged physical and healer

leaden ginkgo
#

Ah

errant mesa
#

HW classes start 30, SB start 50, SHB start 60, and EW start 70

boreal storm
#

No machinist is the funny gun job

cursive ridge
#

a dude with a gun and a dude with tarot card deck

leaden ginkgo
#

Oh shit there’s a gun class

#

Fuck yeah I want a gun

cursive ridge
#

yeah and it's pretty cool

errant mesa
#

Rip monk class

cursive ridge
#

you get a fucking PUMP ACTION SHOTGUN at 82

leaden ginkgo
#

I want to shoot a dragon with a magnum

leaden ginkgo
#

this is the best game I’ve ever played

errant mesa
#

Ehh...

leaden ginkgo
#

What about the classes from quests

queen halo
#

I don’t see a recruitment thing anywhere

errant mesa
#

?

cursive ridge
#

all classes are from quests

errant mesa
#

After ARR there are no more job crystal quests

#

Just straight job quests

boreal storm
#

It’s below the role lounge section

leaden ginkgo
# errant mesa ?

Like in ul dah there’s a quest from some npc to become a samurai, and in Limsa a blue mage

cursive ridge
#

those are just new jobs

errant mesa
#

What is the question

leaden ginkgo
#

And you can’t do certain dungeons with them

cursive ridge
#

samurai starts at 50

boreal storm
#

That’s just blu mage

errant mesa
#

If you own the content you can unlock it

cursive ridge
#

blue mage is a special funny job that spits on the gameplay mechanics

boreal storm
#

It’s special

leaden ginkgo
#

You can’t do duty roulette with them

#

Why

cursive ridge
#

oneshotting the boss with a death attack? yup

errant mesa
#

Uhh

#

Where you seeing that?

cursive ridge
#

blue mage are very very broken in terms of game balance

boreal storm
#

That’s only blu mage

leaden ginkgo
#

Yeah

modest igloo
#

!action final sting

errant mesa
#

Blue mage is a diversionary class that isn't balanced

cursive ridge
#

it's a separate game basically, for fun

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Final Sting** : lvl 1 BLU (2.5 second cooldown)(2.0 second base cast time)

Deals physical damage with a potency of 2,000 while incapacitating self.
Additional Effect: Inflicts Brush with Death on self
Duration: 600s
Effect will not be removed upon revival or further incapacitation.
Cannot be executed while under the effect of Brush with Death.

Blue Magic

A desperate mage's last resort, this technique converts all of the user's life force to an aetherial poison that is then injected into a single adversary. Suffice it to say that, as with the physical sting of the wespe, it should not be relied upon in but the most dire of circumstances.

Obtained

Killer Wespe / Middle La Noscea (15, 15)

Blue Magic

Type: Physical
Aspect: Piercing
Rank: 2

narrow jay
#

Because Blue Mage is viewed as a meme job. It doesn't function with any of the other class mechanics, it's whole gimmick is "I use the spells you used against me", and can get super broken.

modest igloo
#

!action lvl 5 death

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Level 5 Death** : lvl 1 BLU (1500 MP) (180.0 second cooldown)(2.0 second base cast time)

KOs all nearby enemies.
Chance of successful attack is low.
Enemy level must be a multiple of 5. Has no effect on enemies whose level is higher than your own.
Shares a recast timer with certain blue magic spells.

Blue Magic

One of several voidsent curses that rely upon the hubris that living creatures fall prey to upon reaching certain growth malmstones, this spell twists its way into a victim's mind, causing such acute distress that the body's organs are forced to shut down.

Obtained

Page 64 (No Tether) / The Great Gubal Library

Blue Magic

Type: Magic
Aspect: None
Rank: 4

modest igloo
#

stuff like this

boreal storm
#

Dungeons aren’t even the way to level it

narrow jay
#

So it's always capped at a minimum of 10 levels behind all other classes, and can't queue into current-tier stuff.

narrow jay
#

It's legit just a job for fun.

cursive ridge
#

you cant do MSQ or duty finder content with BLU

ripe hound
#

Yeah it’s basically a job to do old content in another way

leaden ginkgo
errant mesa
#

There's a lot of achievements for it

cursive ridge
#

but blue mage get a x20 or so modifier on combat xp from outdoor mobs

leaden ginkgo
#

Is it like in ff9

modest igloo
errant mesa
#

Basically clearing old content with 8 blue mages synced

leaden ginkgo
#

Ff9 is the only ff game I’ve played before this

#

Like quina eating, is it like that

boreal storm
#

It’s a blu mage, you learn monster spells by seeing em

modest igloo
#

quina is blue mage

errant mesa
#

More like getting hit by them

leaden ginkgo
#

So you weaken enemies than use a special command and learn their skills?

boreal storm
#

No

#

No

#

You just see the spell, kill the enemy and learn

forest sage
errant mesa
#

There's a whole tutorial for it @leaden ginkgo

leaden ginkgo
#

Lol

boreal storm
#

If you had to get hit, lvl 5 death wouldn’t be possible to get solo

errant mesa
#

But as we said it's not a main job

leaden ginkgo
#

Oh by the way, is there a triple triad discord

#

That shit fun

errant mesa
#

You say that now, but wait until you have to grind the last 80 duty-specific cards

#

Not so fun

leaden ginkgo
#

Lol

forest sage
#

there might be a TT discord, there's discords for about everything, although it'd probably be small since TT is kinda specific

errant mesa
#

More likely to find a TT LS tbh

forest sage
#

there is a triple triad website with strats and stuff though, google should find it

#

like how to beat the annoying NPCs and what not

errant mesa
#

Main strat is to go for corner 8-8s, and have a good 5 star card

#

Ascension/descension decks should be built too, but those are rare

narrow jay
#

there's also Mahjong

#

like, not the "match the pairs together" mahjong

errant mesa
#

And chocobo racing

#

Mahjong is the very hard science

narrow jay
#

the "you just got your ass kicked by an 84 year old shriveled up grandmother with a cane" Mahjong

leaden ginkgo
#

I’ve played yakuza I think I can handle some final fantasy mahjong thank you very much

narrow jay
#

pff

#

pfff

errant mesa
#

It has 27 pages of a tutorial

leaden ginkgo
#

I’ve got time

errant mesa
#

But I will say Yakuza 0 mahjong is the same

leaden ginkgo
#

It’s the holidays baybeee

#

So I have an edge

errant mesa
#

Not really, since it's player v player only

#

I just do the two games a week for the challenge log and never look back

leaden ginkgo
#

Lol

errant mesa
#

13k mgp for a game I know a bit about through painful xp is fine with me

Can you report players for rp walking in a dungeon?

Purposefully taking one’s time and walking rather running in a dungeon. Walking to each mob. Walking to each boss

Oh I would lmao

I don't know if it works, but go to My Documents\My Games\FFXIV, then find the correct character, and copy the files inside to the new one

Should I go with CP or GP jewelry for gathering classes? And what about crafting classes?

twin bobcat
vestal smelt
#

Thanks!

narrow jay
# leaden ginkgo my dancer dmg is not good

If you're wanting to level DPS in Bozja, I recommend using /shout chat to look for a group to join. Participation is calculated by aggro generated, so if you're not a tank, your individual contribution will typically be pretty low. But as a party, the whole party's aggro gen is added together to calculate each individual's contribution.

#

Also, with trusts currently, queue times for dungeons shouldn't be an issue. You'll run each dungeon at a pretty static pace since the Trust members' DPS output will balance up or down depending on your personal output, so there isn't a way to speedrun anything with trusts—aside from how confident you are at pulling a whole hallway's mobs to your trust tank such that the trust healer can still keep them alive—but you also aren't at the mercy of DPS queues.

ember magnet
#

what do they mean by this I don't really understand, is it ilv560 until I reach level 90, then it changes to something else?

narrow jay
#

Then again, long queues can be beneficial if you have multitasking you want/need to do, such as any mobile/gacha games you play, or household chores you want to take care of.

slate arrow
narrow jay
slate arrow
#

its like, ilvl 550 or so

#

what ilvl gear does the 89 dungeon drop

ember magnet
#

that's pretty weird design choice to sync for a single level

narrow jay
#

It's so you can get it one level early.

#

Previously, artifact gear has been restricted to max level for the expansion. The EW artifact gear is just ... giving you a bonus.

ember magnet
#

artifact gear?

narrow jay
#

That's what this gear is referred to as, yeah.

ember magnet
#

what's the purpose of this gear?

narrow jay
#

Same as the Weathered or the Antiquated gear from previous expansions.

ember magnet
#

i literally started this expac so i don't really have a point of reference

narrow jay
#

To give you some endgame-appropriate equipment so you can do the last trial and start working on the extremes.

#

*last trial and last two dungeons

ember magnet
#

so this is the gear that i'm expected to attempt extremes with?

#

what about accessories?

narrow jay
#

Accessories are dropped from the level 90 dungeons

slate arrow
#

given via the 90 dungeons

narrow jay
#

And Aphorism tomestone gear can start to replace it fairly quickly, as you do daily stuff.

#

which has everything

#

The artifact gear is also a fun, unique look for your class. Once you complete the line of role quests for your class/role, you can dye the gear as well.

ember magnet
#

ok, i kind of get it now

ye, after that though its p much just a job specific glam item

What do I need to do to get the highest maelstrom rank? The lala tells me there is a hard mission but nothing is marked what i need to do?
Is it a send squadron or a "follow squadron" mission?

When you talk to your lieutenant and get the menu, there should be an option for Command Missions.

#

Do five different ones of those.

urban grotto
#

are trusts reliable?

#

i wanted to test one out

fast talon
#

in my experience the 81->90 trusts are a bit faster but I cant tell if my personal (aoe) damage was just higher

urban grotto
#

well I'm in my 70's so I'd rather go for speed

fast talon
#

I like 71->80 ||alphinaud|| since he can give you a damage buff

#

The multiclasser(s) are good for obvious reasons

vocal spruce
forest sage
#

aoeing or not doesn't really matter for trusts tbh, even when they "aoe" they do lesser dmg and the runs still take 25mins

narrow jay
#

Right. The trade-off with trusts is that, as a DPS, you're not locked into half an hour queues, but you can't speed-run dungeons like you can with humans.

fast talon
#

when Im single cleaving the entire double pull to under 50% as the tank before the trust kills anything its kinda lame

narrow jay
#

Yeah, that's .... what their skills are programmed to do.

#

They also will balance down their DPS output if your DPS is good.

@forest sage after trying it i can confirm it worked , but seemingly only for menu settings . Hotbar and Hud layout settings does not work .

I got DNC to 70+ and have BRD and MCH at 90 so I can now throw away all left side gear for 60 (Augmented tomestone). Question is, the right side says "All classes" but wondering if I can chuck those too or which other classes can make use of those specific right sided ones? I have all augmented 60 gear anyway just wondering which I should keep.

narrow jay
#

Ninja benefits from Dexterity.

#

So I'd keep them for if you want to level Ninja.

midnight tinsel
#

yeah ninja also uses right side

narrow jay
#

it's a weird melee class like that lol

rapid radish
#

I just finished 5.3 should I do the last part of eden now or after 5.4

midnight tinsel
#

do it before

slate arrow
#

Personally I'd do 5.4 and then Eden but it's up to you

midnight tinsel
#

probably fits better pacing wise

#

end of 5.4 basically is the start of endwalker

forest sage
# fast talon ehhh I did 71->90 as tank and it would've been nice if they put any aoe down

I don't know they still do the same dmg regardless, hell they don't really aoe even in EW, they have like some aoes but the mobs still die one by one cause it's mostly single target, ultimately runs still take 25mins regardless, hell they take like 35mins even if you don't DPS at all cause they do more damage that way, just the way trusts are designed to cap dmg

rapid radish
#

3 different answers monkaGiga

forest sage
#

the last part of eden requires 5.4 story anyway doesn't it? cause it was released in 5.4?

No, just 5.3

ah I see, then yeah do whenever

#

Because ||thancread and urianger are gone now||

meager sigil
#

Anyone here familiar with ACT? Why are encounters split into parts? For example, when I do a trial, the parses are split into phases, is it possible to see the aggregate of all of those phases, essentially see the analysis of an entire encounter?

forest sage
#

there's a timer you can set for when it splits encounters

warm snow
#

It splits during downtime after whatever setting

meager sigil
#

How do I modify these settings?

warm snow
#

And for certain encounters you don't really want them all at once, like Ruby weapon which has 2 completely separate phases

forest sage
#

options > main table/encounters > general > number of seconds to wait before split

narrow jay
#

Also, the heading at the top of each fight segment should show you that same aggregate data readout, with the individual segments listed below it as children.

forest sage
#

but yeah ACT will do weird shit when there's long breaks in fights, you either manually adjust the timer to that, or just forget about it and then upload to fflogs which will merge the logs into a proper fight

forest sage
#

you'd want to move carbuncle center to buff everyone

faint flare

After doing the above

forest sage
#

place is really the only pet skill you'd use, and not using it wouldn't even be THAT bad, just it has some niche uses

warped nest
#

I need a reminder, which one is E9S again?

faint flare
#

cloud

#

Tile pvp

warped nest
#

Ahhh

forest sage
#

yeah during tiles you'd be too far from like 3ppl or so if you're on far corner(which as range you'd be)

#

cleaves are irrelevant

#

pets can't die

fast talon
#

tell that to my puppy 😦

narrow jay
#

I think Bread was saying if the pet auto attacks cleave. But it's also irrelevant because the Summoner pet no longer auto-attacks. Summons just show up, drop their sicnasty rhyme (charging the target if scripted to), and bounce. About the only positioning needed to worry about is where regular Carby is so Searing Light has the maximum effect.

#

actually, pre- big version of summons, ifrit attack is frontal cone cleave

#

so it can easily miss nearby targets if you select the wrong target

#

and the titan targeting circle for its attack is a bit weird and i found that i needed to target the furthest enemy in the group for the center of the attack to hit the whole group

#

this is all fixed with the big versions of the summons though

narrow jay
#

Yes, but that is an issue with bad targeting, not pet placement.

cursive ridge
#

kinda the same thing no

narrow jay
#

Kind of not.

#

I mean, I see what you're driving at, but

cursive ridge
#

since the placement affects how the cones will be drawn

narrow jay
#

The main issue with pet placement pre-EW was that, if the pet wasn't pre-placed, you'd lose some early autos as it closed the gap to the target.

#

Currently, it does this itself, so it's going to be a consistent timing regardless of the distance.

cursive ridge
#

i never actually checked, do pre-big versions of summon spawn at player location or carbuncle location?

leaden ginkgo
#

I'm doing my WT rn and one of the duties is Fist of the Son

#

Can I do that solo?

forest sage
#

maybe, but usually not worth versus just resetting an ARR primal

narrow jay
#

Depends on your level, but yes.

cursive ridge
#

i think you can do all alexander solo now

leaden ginkgo
#

Lvl 80

#

Tank

narrow jay
cursive ridge
#

it does matter, since if it's carbuncle location, you can control that to make the conal attacks not suck and go from a different angle

#

fist of the son specifically has a very annoying attack that is programmed to take out 100% of your health regardless of your mitigation @leaden ginkgo

#

so you'll need a shield over your health to survive

dim hull
#

I'm about to start the Ala Mhigo Dungeon quest ("Stormblood"), is there going to be a cinematic after this? If so approximately how long, does anyone know?

fringe bone
cursive ridge
#

well i dont think it's 100%, but it's like 95% and he keeps swinging

fringe bone
#

how do you get this

cursive ridge

fringe bone
#

Thanks 😄

cursive ridge
#

@narrow jay i'm talking the difference about conal attack hitting all mobs

narrow jay
#

Okay, just downleveled and checked, and not even the elemental carbuncles spawn on the Carbuncle pet's location. So any "cleave positioning" you need to do is on you as the player to position yourself correctly.

#

Carbuncle placement is irrelevant.

warm snow
#

Not your pet

warm snow
narrow jay
warm snow
#

Of the egi one

cursive ridge
#

so you need to stand in the right place and select the correct mob for it to hit everything

warm snow
#

I thought you had posted the new smn effect under ifrit

narrow jay
#

You're probably thinking of the Astral Flow Ifrit variant

cursive ridge
#

the pre-big titan aoe also hits like this if the middle is your target, which is just jank

narrow jay
#

yeah, 5 yalms is kinda monka

#

however, if any of those hitboxes are inside that circle, it'll count

cursive ridge
#

luckily don't have bother with any of that at 90

narrow jay
#

Enemy hitbox: big.
Player hitbox: one pixel

forest sage
#

I mean realistically if you miss 2mobs with your aoe it won't have any actual impact on anything, hell a lot of classes miss aoes

#

like you try to aoe large packs as a melee, you're gonna be missing some cause you have to move out of aoes or cause some of the melee stuff is stupid lines or cones or whatever and it's a pain to keep everything constantly in all aoes

sacred apex
#

Though I was same to beat pandemonium 3, some of its moves are extremely hard to tell how to dodge and I keep getting vuln stacks, any advice on how to tell what he is about to do?

narrow jay
#

Yeah, at the end of the day, if you're worrying about optimising damage in dungeon runs ... you may need to touch grass lol

true jolt
#

Speaking of hitboxes, while player hitbox is jut smal dot on our center mass

Monster hitbox is their full circle radius right? Positional also works even if you hitting inside hitbox as long you are in correct sides?

warm snow
#

Most of the bosses have visual indicators

narrow jay
#

yes

#

@true jolt

warm snow
#

For example, one orb vs several orbs when an attack is cast

forest sage
#

the visual indicators in that fight are kinda shit though, granted

cursive ridge
#

why would you not want to optimize your playstyle in dungeons? isn't it the whole point of the game, to self-improve?

sacred apex
forest sage
#

orange markers on orange ground with orange fog and orange animations playing at the same time is... well not great

warm snow
warm snow
cursive ridge
#

still feels nice to improve

warm snow
#

Also because they're inconsistent af

forest sage
#

yeah I know just it makes sense some ppl have issues seeing the aoes, but once you learn the fight you know what to expect pretty much

narrow jay
cursive ridge
#

why are you telling me how i should treat content? i want to improve so i will be doing what i want

narrow jay
#

Damage optimisation matters somewhat in savage/extreme, and matters a lot in Ultimates. Otherwise it's just practice.

true jolt
#

Also i think improving aoe rotation is not really "important" cause almost all hardcore content is on single target rotation

#

Like, if you can hit all enemy by positioning yourself in the middle of pack is good but dont go malding just for perfecting that

gritty oracle
#

Story content is meant to be easy because it's not the focal point of the game, the story is.

true jolt
#

Does using materia 8 instead 10 matters a lot if I only play Extreme trials and not savage?

forest sage
#

no

#

although you'll eventually get enough Xs there's not much reason not to use them once they become cheap enough

narrow jay
#

At any rate, the talking point was over how Summoner pet functions, and whether or not pet placement is important. The answer is that, with the exception of Searing Light, the only placement that matters is the Summoner's own placement.

true jolt
#

I see. For now time to cash inn $$$$

narrow jay
#

I have no interest in argumentative bait outside of that.

forest sage
#

but the current EX are dumb easy so there's no need to meld X, or arguably even meld anything at all(but VIII is virtually free so why not), same for food, pots, tome gear and so on, it's all fairly optional for these besides parsing, obviously

narrow jay
#

nod

warped nest
#

EX 83 has no group mechanics

#

Aside from a stack

#

Everything else requires no coordination, just don't get hit by AOEs

true jolt
#

EX83 is like EX79 XD

warped nest
#

EX 79 has line baits, and place your AOE away

leaden granite
#

is the amount of whitescrips i get from ocean fishing tied to my score? aka higher score = more scrips?

warped nest
#

83 is just all variation of don't get hit by AOE

will clearing the 4th level of the new raid multiple times get you more of the blade tokens?
