questions-and-help

[mint fjord]

since RDM is my main

[open rivet]

anything to spend Aphorism on other than gear yet?

[faint flare]

No

[leaden ginkgo]

should i just sell all of my crafting materials im out of bag space

[green grail]

probably any combat job, send it to farm gemstone mats if you're not spamming quick ventures

[green grail]

if you're not gonna use them, sure

[noble hatch]

Is it "a thing" to pay a tank to que up and run leveling dungeons with you to avoid que times?

[mint fjord]

people will do it for free

[green grail]

i've seen it in PF on like, stormblood launch, but I don't think people care enough

[mint fjord]

but you could pay them if you want one quickly i guess?

[primal ermine]

Don't need to pay really.

[noble hatch]

exp is just so strong in dungeons and dont want to wait for que times xD

[mint fjord]

just put a pf up for the dungeon you're farming

say you're farming it

[green grail]

do fates while waiting, level crafting/gathering

[leaden ginkgo]

when should i use arms length

[mint fjord]

maybe say how many runs you're doing so people can estimate the time commitment?

[feral trail]

is there a way to have no CD when practicing rotations on dummies?

[green grail]

as what role?

[leaden ginkgo]

tank

[faint flare]

As mitigation

It slows mobs

[errant mesa]

Where are shelfclaw reavers? Are they fate only?

[faint flare]

Making them attack slower

[mint fjord]

no, but you can unsync queue into something and then instantly leave and it'll reset your cooldowns. just unsync into ifrit or something, small arena = faster loading and stuff

[leaden ginkgo]

should i just use it on trash pulls

[green grail]

either as a trash pack cooldown, it applies slow, or as knockback immunity for some boss mechanics

[faint flare]

Yes you should

[green grail]

like the 83 dungeon final boss black hole mechanic for example, you can use arm's length/surecast to dodge your tether pulling you in to keep uptime on the boss

[errant mesa]

Arm's length works surprisingly often on mechanics

But it has a lengthy cooldown

[woeful hill]

anyway to feed a chocobo faster?

[errant mesa]

No

[plush hound]

The Ban/Suspension

[warm drift]

should you buy all poetic gear before going for ex, or should i use 560 dungeon accesories and buy poetic body bits and wep

[humble epoch]

https://i.imgur.com/n0iBdyx.jpeg why can't i find this item?

[patent citrus]

type hard leather

[faint flare]

Its just hard leather

[green grail]

the "quantifier" of an item is often not part of it

like "synthesize 3 cups of matcha" you're gonna want to craft 1 "matcha" recipe and so on

[humble epoch]

what does the circle mean?

[patent citrus]

a shape

rectangle, square

[green grail]

it's the quantifier, like a cup of noodles, but a circle of leather

[errant mesa]

You mean aphorism? You should get it if you can, but yoy might be forced to for raids

[humble epoch]

ooh lmao learn something new then

thanks

[warm drift]

first time doing non story raid content so wasnt sure if full poetic gear was required

[faint flare]

As long as you.meet the minimum ilvl required you're fine

[errant mesa]

It's aphorism, and it likely is for the min ilevel

You need 565 for the first four raids

[warm drift]

i meant for ex trails, wasnt sure if it was a waste of time/poetics buying the accesories when they drop from ex

[verbal rune]

btw can you buy materia from somewhere? (9-10)

[faint flare]

Materia vendors for those clusters

[green grail]

marketboard, materia exchange in radz

[faint flare]

At Radz-a-hans

[errant mesa]

Ex83 drops 580 accessories, ex87 drops 580 weapon

[noble orbit]

Yes, nuts and the vendor in radz

[verbal rune]

oh, yeah, meant with gils

[errant mesa]

Both ex trials require 560

[verbal rune]

ah, the other other things

[noble orbit]

With gil? Off the mb

[verbal rune]

does the adventure in needs bonus count if I register as the role needed, and then it switches to another? (say it needs tanks, i go in as a tank, and then it becomes 'healers' needed)

[faint flare]

Yes

[noble orbit]

If you queue while it's in need you'll get the rewards even if it later changes

[pure copper]

it takes the best outcome for you based on queue time, pop time, when u finish i hear

[verbal rune]

k

[astral cobalt]

so I need to do dozens of FATEs, are there any tips to speed up the process ? level is normalized so I can't play on that, but is it he same for ilvl ? are there classes better suited than others ?

[patent citrus]

blue usually

are you doing a relic quest?

[astral cobalt]

yes

[pulsar escarp]

any idea what triggers this?

[patent citrus]

yeah, blue mage

[pulsar escarp]

is it smth new in patch that I didn't read

[astral cobalt]

thanks, I'll look into it, I guess it needs a special ability loadout ?

[patent citrus]

or you can use MCH, RDM you can't speed up the process

Relic is a time sink, so prepare time for it

yeah

[astral cobalt]

I felt like some people were doing WAY more damage than they should

[boreal aurora]

yo do you lose your buffs from potion etc if u do world visit?

[pulsar escarp]

I'm only able to queue for duties for about 40 seconds before it shows me this message. I've only tested it on roulettes so far has anyone seen this before?

Every predicted queue shows up as more than 30m

[patent citrus]

hmm I'm not sure, I haven't experienced it

you don't have a penalty right?

[pulsar escarp]

I don't

it also queues me in normally

before suddenly taking me out of it

[restive gyro]

anyone have a bug where they cant buy ironworks shield because it says i have it when i dont. it says its in my saddlebag. but its not even in my saddlebag

[pulsar escarp]

with the error message

[patent citrus]

sort your saddle bag

easier to see that way

[ripe hound]

Right click and search shows it’s in saddle bag?

[patent citrus]

if the /itemsearch shows that it's in saddlebag, then it's in saddlebag

[restive gyro]

ya right click and search says its in the saddlebag. but im looking right at it. its not in the saddlebag lol

How much does it cost the "FINAL FANTASY XIV Online Complete Edition"? Why should I wait to buy after queues are available?

can someone tell me where to find the latest draggon rotation? i am lost as to how to set up the hot bars

[wintry trellis]

See if anything is of use to you, if no you can do ventures for your retainer, if no to that see if any mats or stuff sell, if you don’t wanna do that you can buy the lvling stuff for crafters/gatherers, if no level up more to buy the loot boxes

[limber creek]

like every new expansion lol

[limber creek]

thanks 🙂

[faint flare]

The rotation basically hasn't changed

[urban grotto]

I can't level up yet cause I can't do the level 40 thingamajig

[limber creek]

but there are 2 or new abilities t hat change existing ones right?

[wintry trellis]

Personally I just buy ventures

[limber creek]

i just noticed that mine doesnt look like the others from before

[faint flare]

You have 1 new one

Wyrmwind thrust

Which is just a free off global every other combo

That's it

[limber creek]

and the other stuff that changes should already automatically show up on that hotbar?

i think there are 3 new ones there

[faint flare]

Yes

[barren granite]

y7es

[faint flare]

You have raiden thrust but aoe

That upgrades doom spike

You only got 1 new proper button

is there any way I can get this quest after progressing past it in the MSQ?

[honest tusk]

heyho, does anyone know how long first clears usually take for savage?

[limber creek]

so the rotation above should be optimal for dps? i am not a savage player or anything, just want to not hold anyone back lol

[barren granite]

yes

[limber creek]

thank you kindly

[barren granite]

i added true north in som str pots in their, but the jist is the same

[errant mesa]

What does two !! Mean for damage

[wintry trellis]

Too many factors to consider

[errant mesa]

I thought ! Was a critical

[honest tusk]

i mean just generally, are it first day clears, does it take days, weeks?

[wintry trellis]

Are you referring to any specific savage ? This tier last tier, hw?

[honest tusk]

sure shadowbringers for example the last raidtier

[barren granite]

prolly not first day

[wintry trellis]

Likely won’t see a whole tier

First day

but we just don’t know

[honest tusk]

i see ty

[wintry trellis]

If you’re talking your average worlds first def in a week

[honest tusk]

ait

❤️ ty

[wintry trellis]

Your average orange parser with that plays with sticky notes of their rotation but can’t identify mechanics maybe longer

[faint flare]

World first will be within a Day or two

Savage goes fast

Especially the first tiers

[hidden cypress]

do i need to do anima weapons to get the next expansions cool weapon

[faint flare]

No

[hidden cypress]

ok sick

[leaden ginkgo]

does anyone know what bind does for mch

[faint flare]

Stops them moving but it's removed when they're hit

[leaden ginkgo]

ty

[faint flare]

So it's basically useless outside of potd

[wintry trellis]

^

[lament gust]

Won’t auto attack just break it straight away?

[wintry trellis]

Can remove from hotbar

Any dmg breaks it

[hidden cypress]

yeah and i loked there and theres nothin

[feral kernel]

anyone know how to glamour lvl90 egis into carbuncles? i already successfully able do this prior lvl90 but now it just appearing as normal egis.. not carbuncles.

[errant mesa]

Just buy unidentified ore and exchange it for soil

[hidden cypress]

the soils are like 1k for 150 poetics

[errant mesa]

Soil prices bad because housing bad

[patent citrus]

yeah sounds about right

then feel free to cap it and don't get anything

[hidden cypress]

ill just stay maxed till i need it

[errant mesa]

You don't have to sell the soik

[leaden ginkgo]

can you level crafting jobs while queuing

[hidden cypress]

yup

[leaden ginkgo]

hell yea

[hidden cypress]

just need to change job before accepting

[leaden ginkgo]

i read that somewhere and it made me switch back to dps

[patent citrus]

yeah time goes by really fast when you start crafting

feels like you are interrupted when the queue popped, lol

[leaden ginkgo]

my problem originally was that i had nothing to do while dps queueing

[feral kernel]

anyone know how to glamour lvl90 egis into carbuncles? i already successfully able do this prior lvl90 but now it just appearing as normal egis.. not carbuncles.

[narrow jay]

that is because they are no longer egis

[feral kernel]

confirmed/source?

[patent citrus]

oh wait that's an old guid

[feral kernel]

yeah those works for prior lvl80s.. now its new egi version on 90 and glamour doesnt work

[faint flare]

Cause they're not egis

They're pets

You can't glamour them

[narrow jay]

You're summoning Emerald Garuda now, not Garuda-Egi.

[feral kernel]

so cant be glamoured anyway? hopefully they fix it in next patch lol

[narrow jay]

egi-glamour will not work

Yeah, I suspect it may have been an oversight lol

[glossy eagle]

can someone tell me if there are some things i can remove from my hotbar? :/

[feral kernel]

bummer, they are eyesores

[narrow jay]

If they get a lot of people asking for the glamour to be returned, they probably will.

[boreal storm]

You can shrink em

[feral kernel]

thanks for answering, i was puzzled for a while and researched. etc.

they are shrunk already 🙂 still eyesore i will bear with it until patched

[primal relic]

Is Bahamut coil different from other 8man raid? I haven’t done em, since I heard a lot of terrible things about it. Only done HW and currently doing SB 8man raid.

[boreal storm]

It’s Savage level

[spiral inlet]

what the heck did they nerf dyes?

[boreal storm]

So if you want story, you Unsync it

[spiral inlet]

is it alot easier to obtain whites and blacks now?

[leaden ginkgo]

what do you guys think is the most useful crafting class if i want to level mch

[primal relic]

Oh it’s automatically savage? There’s no normal?

[faint flare]

Normal didn't exist then

There's only 1 difficultly

Normal was introduced with Alexander

[primal relic]

I see, is it something you can possibly solo?

[faint flare]

Yes

People did it at 80

Easy as fuck at 90

[primal relic]

I assume WAR or PLD?

[boreal storm]

Any job

[patent citrus]

for nael, might be easier on DPS

but all class can do them

[primal relic]

Alright I’ll give it a run. Thnx

[abstract plaza]

hey there! i came to the point where i need much gil. What disciple of the hand/land class is the best for money making?

[warm snow]

There's no one answer

It depends

And you'll need all of them since materials come from all crafters

And gatherers

[jagged island]

Do I need to have a crafting job to pentameld my own gear?

[boreal storm]

Yep

[jagged island]

So I need to get blacksmith to lvl 90 to craft the new 90 crafted gear...

For tank

[boreal storm]

IF blacksmith is the source of all the gear pieces

Which is unlikely

[glossy flare]

may also shift with future tiers and new crafted sets

in general there is no one crafter that caters to a specific role or job, they all work into each other

[jagged island]

Ok

Thanks

[queen fern]

Aside from a handful of annoying as hell fights like the last fight of the Second Coil, you should have no problems blasting through it.

[jagged island]

Is it doable leveling all crafters from 1 to 90 in 2 weeks?

[golden jewel]

yes, easily

[queen fern]

If you know what you're doing, sure.

[golden jewel]

i got all my crafters with collectibles (trader in lower limsa) in about a week from 1 to 80, and i did that while leveling my first char to 80 as well

[jagged island]

How much did it cost ya?

[golden jewel]

about half of what i got from msq, because i didnt know the worth of stuff yet

in hindsight i could have just bought materia with the scripts and sold it for yuge profits

but you are not expected to know such things right off the bat

[jagged island]

Yea, never touched crafting

[golden jewel]

its kinda fun i guess

even gatherers are fun once you are max level, good money too (tho never as much as crafters)

[golden jewel]

also there are the daily company turn-ins in ul'dah where u basically turn in one specific item per crafter/gatherer, resulting in mostly one level per turn-in even for higher levels

[jagged island]

Wow thanks for the info

[obsidian patio]

At your grand company*

So if you’re Adders or Maelstrom, you do them in Gridania or Limsa

[golden jewel]

ah ye different for everybody depending on what you picked right

[leaden ginkgo]

does anyone know where the blacksmith guild is

[pseudo veldt]

Right next to the armorer's guild in Limsa upper decks

[faint flare]

Upper limsa

[leaden ginkgo]

tytyty

blacksmiths make guns right?

[queen fern]

Yes.

[tepid stag]

is there a way to only make people in my fc's name plate show up but not everyone elses?

[obsidian patio]

IIRC no

[pallid basin]

as sage, do you really use druochole often or is it generally rare?

[faint flare]

It's a lower priority for your stacks

As Kerachole is busted as fuck and Terachole is good

But it's your main off global burst heal

I only need to use if it people take damage they shouldnt and need the extra heal

[sullen vine]

are there any non-event/mogstation mounts that allow for multiple people?:o that're obtainable relatively around the end of ARR

[faint flare]

Not at your point

They're mainly in shadowbringers

One is from Eden savage, one from bojza

One for 2000 mentor roulettes which needs you to basically unlock every piece of content except savages

[raven sage]

you could get the draught chocobo probably at that section

[faint flare]

True

Raf mount

[raven sage]

I guess maybe not right now since people can't get the game

[storm cosmos]

how long after release do EX weapons get glowing variants? the EW EX2 weapons are pretty but I really want to see what they're gonna look like with fx

[faint flare]

Randomly

There's no pattern

Just whenever

Susanoo doesn't even has his weapons and hades really jumped ahead

Zurvan waited literal years

[storm cosmos]

oh I see, hopefully we won't have to wait quite so long

[wispy shell]

How long does it take to get full rested exp stockpiled?

[faint flare]

4 days

Codes don't expire

But mega old codes are likely sketch

None cause you can't buy it anywhere

All sales are suspended

[errant mesa]

Sources vary, but it seems like 3 days is the average

[faint flare]

No legal place is selling them

[inland pasture]

Can Seals and Nuts buy anything endgame relevant?

[tall mountain]

Nuts can buy IX and X combat materia

[errant mesa]

Shrug it's grey market stuff and even then the question remains if you'd even be able to open a new account to subscribe with

[faint flare]

As long as they got.ot from a legal seller it should be fine

[boreal aurora]

where is nut seller for combat x materia

[warm snow]

At the hunt board

[green grail]

[jade plover]

Were there any official statements by Yoship/SE stating why the 2nd shadowbringers artbook was missing content from the third Nier raid?

[obsidian patio]

Not that I heard of, maybe potential copyright issues?

[jade plover]

I see.

[urban grotto]

hey are there lootboxes in this game?

[craggy tinsel]

kind of, there are lockboxes tied to the Bozja/Zadnor areas you get from clearing things in them

[jade plover]

No (if you are thinking paid ones)

[urban grotto]

how do I get to bozja/zadnor

[jade plover]

Unlock and finish the Return to Ivalice questline which includes 3 Stormblood raids

[urban grotto]

are the stormblood raids hard?

[jade plover]

Nah

[urban grotto]

cool.

[craggy tinsel]

one fight is hard for people if they suck at math

[urban grotto]

man.

[craggy tinsel]

but it's very basic math

so when I say suck

I do mean like can't do basic addition or division

[urban grotto]

ah ok

[steel canopy]

Which is an overwhelming amount of the population no?

[craggy tinsel]

unfortunately

[steel canopy]

Lines picking back up, 500

[golden prairie]

hey yall, trying to return to smn. whats a good hotbar setup?

[steel canopy]

I can't wait to finish SB and see death by math

[craggy tinsel]

you aren't required to do the Return to Avalice questline to progress MSQ, just to access the Save the Queen storyline (which is where the relic weapon process for ShB takes place)

[steel canopy]

But I want my lore content D:
And Bozja D:
And Bozja Weapon D:

[tepid stag]

wait does marksman's mastery on mch only increase base dmg of my 123 or does it also increase combo dmg, cause the wording is wierd

[obsidian patio]

The combo potency is also affected

Since they’re like a flat amount added onto the base potency

[tall mountain]

Yeah, the wording is really odd, so think of it instead that it adds 10/20 potency to the actions

[sick iron]

I haven't played in a few years, and I got to stormblood I think but I legit skipped all dialogue and cutscenes, but I hear the story is pretty good. So, should I just start a new character and play through the story or get back on my original character and just watch some youtube videos on it?

[obsidian patio]

You can use new game plus to replay the story at your own pace.

Unlocked in vesper bay

It’s unlocked by the guy that looks like Old Man Xehanort from Kingdom hearts

[sick iron]

Alright. Thanks

[obsidian patio]

NG+ also has various other storylines, like the class/job quests, raid quest lines, and a few other story chains

[sick iron]

My hotbars didn't save from the last time i played so my Samurai's hotbar is just a confusing mess at this point. haha

[cosmic reef]

How long will captain rank take from fresh squadrons?

[open coral]

By fresh do you mean a new grand company having attained captain rank in a different company, or starting from zero?

If the former, you just have to unlock squadrons with your new company

[cosmic reef]

Started squadrons, learned higher ranks take messing around in squadrons. All squadron members are like level 10

[open coral]

Ah, in that case it will take you a few weeks at least

[cosmic reef]

Is there any 'reccomended' way to go about it?

Or just dick around until stuff works

[open coral]

Mostly just mess around

[boreal storm]

You don’t need light party comps

If the stats are fulfilled, you’re good

[open coral]

You have to complete two flagged missions in total, which will require that you have precise stat layouts to pass

[boreal storm]

3

[somber finch]

What type of armor does Pugilist use?

[open coral]

PUG uses DoW gear

[boreal storm]

Striking

[open coral]

MNK uses striking

[somber finch]

Uh, in basic, Wow terms? Like, light, heavy, cloth?

[open coral]

There’s no correlation

[south sparrow]

how do you use a .fea file to restore ui? I have one, I just have no idea how to use it

[zinc bramble]

If you mean visually, most looks light, some looks heavy.

[cosmic reef]

So just work on getting a team with a wide breadth of stats?

[somber finch]

So, any class can use any armor?

[cosmic reef]

I'm guessing doing training > missions?

[tall mountain]

At and after level 50, gear in FFXIV uses affixes to describe what class can equip what

Rather than categories like "cloth," "leather," "mail," or "plate"

So, monk gear will almost always be affixed with "of Striking"

[open coral]

No. Disciples of War can only use Disciple of War or class-specific gear

[tall mountain]

At lower levels, you'd just want to look for whatever gear gives you the most strength that you can equip

[silent island]

Do I need to unlock adventure squads? Or should I just focus on the MSQ at level 50?

[open coral]

Disciples of Magic likewise can only use Disciple of Magic gear or class gear

[boreal storm]

If you want to max out your GC rank

[silent island]

I mean, do they give me any benefit really? I have no idea what maxing out GC does

[cosmic reef]

All classes use 'of [type]' armor

Fending: tank
Scouting: just ninja
Maiming: drg/rpr
Striking: every other melee dps
Casting: magic dps
Aiming: ranged physical dps
Healing: healers

[silent island]

Can I safely ignore it? I'm really only interested in gil/gear upgrades

[zinc bramble]

You get access to other things to spend seals on. Sometimes your rank is mentioned in quest text

[open coral]

Yeah, you can ignore it

[boreal storm]

Captains get the seal gacha

[cosmic reef]

That's why I'm intrested in ranking up XD

[silent island]

ty, i will ignore it lol

[cosmic reef]

A use for seals finally

Beyond infinite prisms

[true jolt]

Cant u use it to get anima weapon mats and sell it? XD

[somber finch]

Ok, i think i can get started with FFXIV now, just need to install it. How heavy is it and can i install it through steam or does it have its own launcher?

[open coral]

If you have the Steam version you have to use the Steam launcher

[cosmic reef]

I reccomend doing their launcher, not steam

But if you already did steam

You're stuck on steam

[true jolt]

Umm, which account you have? Steam count as different version

Anw wasnt account creation closed?

[tall mountain]

just to confirm, you signed up for the trial before they closed sign-ups right?

[somber finch]

Never touched FFXIV before

[open coral]

Then… you can’t play

[tall mountain]

you won't be able to play right now then, i'm afraid

[true jolt]

I think you cant sign up atm

[tall mountain]

due to the ridiculous congestion and server issues, all new sign-ups are closed

[cosmic reef]

If you don't have an account rn. All new account signups are closed

Cuz uhhh

[true jolt]

^

[cosmic reef]

Shits fucked

[open coral]

They’ve closed new purchases and free trial downloads indefinitely

[tall mountain]

no ETA on when signups return, either

[boreal storm]

Pool’s closed

[somber finch]

Oof. Ill wait then. More time to research the job i wanna pick first

[cosmic reef]

Too many people playing

[true jolt]

Suffering from success

[cosmic reef]

[open coral]

To meme it: “Eorzea is full. Please go away.”

[cosmic reef]

Imagine going up to your share holders and going: we gotta stop making money

[somber finch]

Feck off until we stretch the world further xd

[tall mountain]

pretty much the only thing you can do but don't overthink it too much, swapping jobs is very simple so it's better to just try and see if you like it when you can play

[true jolt]

Imo it can took atleast some few weeks fastest soo dont hyped yourself and take it ez for now :D

[open coral]

But yeah, this isn’t like WoW. You don’t have to start a whole new character for a new class. You can just pick up the new class and level it with a bonus to xp

[somber finch]

I mean, of all jobs i saw, pugilist seems the most fun for me rn

[cosmic reef]

PUG turns into MNK which got a big rework

MNK is a very fast class

With busy burst windows

[open coral]

Then that’s a good place to start. If you don’t like it, you’re not screwed over

[cosmic reef]

But less busy filler

But still VERY fast

1.80 gcd or lower iirc

[somber finch]

As a casual player, i should be free of any trap in terms of competetive stuff and errors

[boreal storm]

You say that

[true jolt]

I think itss too earrly to fed up this kind of info? XD

[little fulcrum]

1.80 is kinda nuts

[cosmic reef]

Well just saying expect to do ALOT OF FAST

And given he plays wow

He can get an idea from a GCD

[somber finch]

Played*

[little fulcrum]

F

[cosmic reef]

So saying the class is 1.8< GCD

Can give him an idea of what hes getting into

[jade quartz]

New players don’t need to have universal mmo terms dumbed down for them

[little fulcrum]

Is it even physically possible to get your GCD down to 1.8

[jade quartz]

If they say they’ve played other mmos

[true jolt]

Bozja

[somber finch]

I mean, tbh, i played but mostly to pass the time, never got a sub for it xd. Lvl 20 lock momemt

[true jolt]

Haste gear, 1,5 s gcd i heard is the min

[little fulcrum]

that's pog

[cosmic reef]

WoW gcd is 1.5 seconds. I can assume that carries over

[open coral]

With XIV you can literally just push the glowing buttons and you’ll do a halfway decent job

[little fulcrum]

I have never imagine in my life that things and get below 2.0

[somber finch]

Gw2, albeit different, exposed me alot more to mmos

[true jolt]

I mean if you play mch, dnc and smn you have a taste of it for short phase

But monk is permanent kek

[cosmic reef]

MNK GCD is akin to dagger combo on Ranger or other melee classes.

[white tapir]

theres no way currently to get Menphina Earring now right? Only was available with endwalker preorder?

[cosmic reef]

You're expected to hit buttons that often

[true jolt]

Unless you can find people who resell the key, no

(Its also risky)

[little fulcrum]

DNC? You mean the Dances?

Ok

[cosmic reef]

Yeah. But MNK isn't stressful exactly unless you make it

[little fulcrum]

and idk what MCH do but I assume it has a short GCD phase as well

[cosmic reef]

Or you're doing your burst

[cosmic reef]

Overheat phase

[little fulcrum]

how positional is new MNK

[cosmic reef]

Goes to 1.5 gcd

[cosmic reef]

2 positionals

[little fulcrum]

how much pot loss if we dont do positionals?

[cosmic reef]

Most of the stress on MNK is condensed into it's blitz

[hard aurora]

greetings

[somber finch]

I will proly need some sort of macro arent i? Seeing how end game gameplay shows like 3 bars each with 10 skills xd

[hard aurora]

you will not

[cosmic reef]

Absolutely not.

[little fulcrum]

No, bad, no

[hard aurora]

macro’s will impede your gameplay

especially, especially in high end content

[leaden ginkgo]

For monk? Not at all

[true jolt]

You dont need macro and you dont need any plugin/add on to be able to enjoy endgame raiding

[cosmic reef]

Monk has like 10 buttons they press regularly

[little fulcrum]

Macro will ignore if you are moving away from the thing or not, and will skip a button, and will mess up your whole thing

[cosmic reef]

But they press those buttons REALLY FAST

[leaden ginkgo]

Monk is easy to play now and i love, blitz its literally just sabin input from ff6

[cosmic reef]

Also

Monk has bunny

That's not bad

[jade quartz]

Macros for combat are not viable outside of some few specific applications

[little fulcrum]

Monk has the aesthetic that is pretty hot

[true jolt]

I have no fucking idea how to include PB in my rotation now lmfao.

[little fulcrum]

You can macro for something like living dead and have your text says "hey, heal me :(("

[jade quartz]

Those being support party-targeting oGCDs such as dragon sight or shirk

[leaden ginkgo]

Really? Iam the opposite, thanks to new pb system now i love monk lol

[cosmic reef]

Or raise macros

[jade quartz]

Nah

[little fulcrum]

I find text macros useful

[cosmic reef]

(Which have gotten less useful after the target cast bar)

[little fulcrum]

why Raise macro :))

[jade quartz]

Most experienced players have never found raise macros useful or beneficial

[leaden ginkgo]

My mindset is now pb is the main hitter while the combo 1 and 2 is the filler now

[little fulcrum]

I'm not experience, but I also don't find Raise macros useful

like why

it's like salt in the wound more than anything

[cosmic reef]

Avoid double raises

[little fulcrum]

ok, make sense

[jade quartz]

Raise macros often just don’t go off

[true jolt]

I only play monk for short while (1 month pre EW) though so maybe thats the reason

RPR just click in me more after i tried it XD

[little fulcrum]

Just Swiftcast tho

[jade quartz]

If healers pay attention double raises don’t happen

[leaden ginkgo]

Twin snake buff - pb 1-1-1 - blitz - pb 1-2-3 - blitz, filler combo - pb any input - voila tornado kick - filler combo until pb start again

[warped nest]

Yeah, I recall seeing a target arrow

[jade quartz]

It’s honestly such a niche problem and the macro introduces inherent delay and jank

[leaden ginkgo]

Couple with weaving and you are set

[warped nest]

If I see a target arrow coming from another healer going toward a party member

[true jolt]

That TS buff is ended up with demolish before PB?

[warped nest]

Then I just raise someone else, or proceed with Dps or healing

[leaden ginkgo]

Depend, my friend usually do the full twin snake combo, for me i just go form shift and twin snake only

And with riddle fire in case for tornado kick

For mobbing, riddle wind, i just play it simple lol

And during pb 1-1-1 input, i always do the opo opo punch because its guaraante crit and that mean chakra can proc easy too

The only thing i dont get from monk is the six sided star, i get the movement speed bonus but what for

The thunderclap do it 10 times better lol

[zinc bramble]

For the last hit before moving out of aoe (does more damage than any other GCD (other than blitz)

[leaden ginkgo]

Yeah i think thats the purpose, but majority people i saw when they really large aoe, their first instinct is just to bailt out as fast as they can lol

I only see few mnk doing the sss before bailing

[zinc bramble]

It is an option that most will not use or not use well. It is a tool for reaching the upper ceiling of mastery. It isn't always the best option either.

[leaden ginkgo]

Me? I just thunderclap that range class, they already out of aoe anyway lol

[zinc bramble]

You can do both

[leaden ginkgo]

Yep

I need to get used to it i guess

I mean the potency is no joke, 550, thats quite extra damage there

[merry hatch]

anyone know if there will be anymore hunt rewards? 🙂

[zinc bramble]

Usually more are added in various patches

[silent island]

How do you do the hunts @merry hatch

[merry hatch]

understandable, ty

[leaden ginkgo]

We should get more in future patch

We havent even got ew beast tribe too

[merry hatch]

also pandas you have to unlock them through a short questline after completing MSQ, and preferably get flying in every zone of EW

[silent island]

ahhh

not there yet ty

[boreal storm]

A/S ranks you just find and kill

[merry hatch]

& you can also join hunt discords that host regular hunt trains, where they go around and kill various A/S ranks in order

[boreal storm]

With a group, don’t be a dick

[fringe bone]

When do you get the glowing red eyes with warrior what level?

[merry hatch]

best way to farm hunt currency imo

[zinc bramble]

The trains are definitely the way to go

[merry hatch]

they also give you

a really decent amount of new currency(?) + poetics

[zinc bramble]

And tokens for materia

[merry hatch]

^

[boreal storm]

Isn’t that just defiance

[merry hatch]

made quite some bank selling the bis materia i got from trading the clusters in

that you get quite a lot of from hunts yes

[fringe bone]

if it was i wouldnt have asked xD

[leaden ginkgo]

Ugh i love gnb playstyle but i cant stand that “hit” sound effect, why it so awful

[fringe bone]

maybe it is though but you get it at a later level

thats why im asking what level :p

[woeful prawn]

I'm doing the main quest and krile won't give me the next quest (in the main hall), is there something I'm missing?

[hard aurora]

elaborate

[silent island]

how do I know if I'm playing against an NPC or a player in open triple triad tournaments? lol

[zinc bramble]

What does the next listed MSQ in the top corner say? There are certain points where the quest splits in two paths or has a separate requirement.

[vast hinge]

it literally just tells you the next MSQ to do, the branch is irrelevant in terms of what order you do them in

for every case that MSQ branches

[leaden ginkgo]

Your level maybe?

[heavy wadi]

read the quest text/objective

[celest quartz]

can I get rid of the numbers next to hotbars?

[vast hinge]

should be able to

[celest quartz]

how?

[woeful prawn]

I finished estate visitor and am trying to do in the dark of the tower, I got to lv81 but krile isn't showing me the msq icon

[vast hinge]

I don't have numbers on mine, but it was long ago that I did it

not sure if it's an ingame setting, or was from a plugin

let me check

[leaden ginkgo]

Hmm dark of the tower? Which one is that

[fringe bone]

When do you get the glowing red eyes with warrior what level?

[leaden ginkgo]

And level 81? So it still early i guess?

[jade quartz]

Yes it’s an ingame setting in character config > hotbar settings

[heavy wadi]

did you finish the thavnair quests as well?

[celest quartz]

thank you!

[heavy wadi]

you have to finish "Estate Visitor" and "The Satrap of Radz-at-Han" to continue.

[leaden ginkgo]

Oh that 2 msq in the estate? Yeah you have to finish both of it

[woeful prawn]

I thought it was a branching and only needed 1

Ok

[zinc bramble]

Branching is always both

[heavy wadi]

you have to do both.

[hoary citrus]

I got 72GB free on my PS4, does anyone know how much more do I need to clear for 6.0 patch download off the PlayStation store?

[leaden ginkgo]

Btw is there a way to target… say… closest enemy when press “tab”

Sometime when mobs happen and i press “tab” it just target like the enemy which is not even pulled by tank instead of the one in front of me

Any way to fix that?

[vast hinge]

there's a hotkey for that under targeting

that you can bind whatever you fancy

[leaden ginkgo]

Allright

[fringe bone]

When do you get the glowing red eyes with warrior what level?

[errant mesa]

Nani

[boreal storm]

You keep asking but nobody has an answer

[zinc bramble]

Google says Inner Release at level 70. Don't know if it is accurate.

[fringe bone]

ah oki

ty

[sinful mesa]

Would yall say its harder to level a DPS post MSQ compared to a tank/healer? Im trying to choose a class rn and im torn between White Mage/Black Mage/Paladin/Dragoon. I know I can try all but still.

[hard aurora]

!action inner release

Powered by XIVAPI

[uneven dune]

Queues do tend to be slower for dps so in that sense yes

[fringe bone]

thats where you get glowing red eyes yes?

[hard aurora]

@sinful mesa tanks and healers have the benefit of almost instant dungeon queues

dps do not

[errant mesa]

It's easier to do dps for msq

[hard aurora]

is it harder? its not that much harder

just a bit brain dead

[errant mesa]

Tanks and healers can benefit from roulette xp and fast queues

[last mural]

Packets: Sent = 50, Received = 50, Lost = 0 (0% loss)```
Ooooh, does that mean the undersea cable issue for SEA players is finally fixed?

[sinful mesa]

I was thinking of doign MSQ as Dragoon, then post MSQ leveling White Mage because Healing does interest me

[errant mesa]

You can do both

Get grinding

[hoary citrus]

Nothing stopping you from playing whatever you please, the differences in MSQ between jobs are miniscule, especially with friends or a helpful FC to assist with queue times

[opal silo]

I've avoided being a tank for so.. many.. years (in other mmos). FFXIV is the first time I've been tempted to actually try it

[zinc bramble]

It is just easy dps that doesn't have to wait for anyone else (only sort of kidding).

[errant mesa]

It's fun

[opal silo]

My big issue is awareness

and memorizing all the maps

[errant mesa]

Huh? Who cares about the maps

[zinc bramble]

In 70+ content the maps are linear without branching paths

[errant mesa]

95% of dungeons are hallways

[zinc bramble]

And tank busters are giant red markers

[opal silo]

oh. Well... that's good to know

[hoary citrus]

99% of FFXIV duty maps are either a square or circle or a hallway

[errant mesa]

You crush 2-4 groups of enemies then fight boss

[opal silo]

This is sounding more doable then

[errant mesa]

Yeah tanking is like slightly more brain dead stuff than it sounds

[jade quartz]

Only early ARR dungeons have weird optional paths

They get rid of that quickly because it sucks

[zinc bramble]

The only real pressure is racing eager dps to the pull

[jade quartz]

Tankbusters in dungeons usually have names you can figure out without memorising

[errant mesa]

People complained and didn't do it anyway because the xp it gave wasn't worth it

[jade quartz]

And don’t even need to be mitigated to survive anyway

They hit for like less than half hp

[errant mesa]

Now that xp for mobs are gone, only side chests are worth going there, and even then rarely

[opal silo]

If I do try, it'd be warrior which can apparently self-heal to victory right now anyway

[leaden ginkgo]

Dps maybe…. Faster? If you use trust instead

[queen flame]

is there a site/thread where i can see actual pictures of all squadron recruits?

[errant mesa]

They can all heal more or less

[zinc bramble]

Trust is very slow (only useful for lore or if queues are obscene)

[errant mesa]

Warrior-Paladin-GNB-DRK I believe in terms of healability

[leaden ginkgo]

True but dps queueing is also deeadful

[leaden ginkgo]

Outside duty roulette that is

[queen flame]

Thank you, Thancred

[errant mesa]

I'm shocked that it exists

Clearly Ascian magic

[jade quartz]

Trusts basically works out faster if your queues are over 15min, which is often for dps

They’re pretty great for dps leveling

[leaden ginkgo]

Trust is damn slow yeah but if you are dps it could be faster

[zinc bramble]

If you don't do anything while in queue. FATEs are decent xp as well. Do both 🙂

[leaden ginkgo]

Or be like me, doing trust as dps but i just afk and let the ai handle the mobs, only “play” during boss fight lmao

[opal silo]

when do trusts unlock?

[zinc bramble]

71?

[leaden ginkgo]

Starting shadowbringer should be

[opal silo]

oh, hah. k

[zinc bramble]

You can do similar with squadrons 60 and below

[leaden ginkgo]

If you are below 70, beast tribe, fate and leves while waiting for queue seems the best way

[thorn thicket]

Currently there’s no better crafted set than ophiotauroskin/chondrite/ar-caean, right?

[sinful mesa]

I know I want to play Machinist when I unlock it so Im thinking of going Warrior and then leveling WHM and Machinist down the line

then I get to try all 3 roles

[leaden ginkgo]

Oh and dont forget that earring? Or is it ring? That give you 50% nore exp when you below level 70

[zinc bramble]

Earring is a preorder bonus, I believe. The ring is for 30 and below.

[errant mesa]

Earring is glorious 80 and below

[leaden ginkgo]

You sure? I never preorder any ff14 related and i have that acc that give me exp boost below level 70

[woeful prawn]

Ok i realized I had to go to the confluence and have the woman teleport me to thavnair

That's why the msq wasn't showing anything

[leaden ginkgo]

Enjoy the funny cutscene

[weak copper]

any reason to use gear coffer given by msq or can i delete them

[boreal storm]

Alts

[zinc bramble]

Money, desynth

[twilit arch]

can also sell most of the gear given from those coffer

[leaden ginkgo]

Yep

[patent citrus]

what's the current nice way to farm white scrips?

[zinc bramble]

weekly deliveries and one-time deliveries are a great start. Other collectables if you need more.

[patent citrus]

making craftsman's syrup is ok?

ok

yeah after custom deliveries

[zinc bramble]

Have you done Crystaruim/Studium delieviries?

[obsidian patio]

You generally want to make the highest level collectable you can for whichever crafter it’s cheapest for.

I think BSM/GSM for their last white scrip collectable don’t use monster materials

Might be thinking of their purple scrip item though

[twilit arch]

that's purple ye

[patent citrus]

oh ok, I'll check the npc, ty ty

I just forgot the name, only know it's beside the scrips exchange npc usually

[twilit arch]

rarefied draught is pretty decent imo though it requires a mob drop

can use combat retainer to farm the berkanan sap tho

[potent lava]

can I ask (post-EW) ||where the line where Zenos supposedly uses dynamis to send us back as his "last" act is found? I keep hearing about it||

[twilit arch]

crp is also a pretty decent choice for white scrip spam. it just needs integral lumber+ar-caean velvet

[plush hound]

||Fan-fiction. There's nothing definitive in the game.||

[zinc bramble]

||Last scene where you talk to all of the characters before the credits. I think it is Urianger after you talk to him the first time. It is only speculation.||

[potent lava]

yeah this sounds right, felt like i missed it on the rounds, thanks

[errant mesa]

We will find out soon enough maybe

[dire prawn]

Stupid question but is there a stretching emote

[twilit arch]

yes, its a default emote

[runic marten]

where is the ather compas?

[spice imp]

where do i get lvl 50+ craftmanship gear for doh?

[twilit arch]

duty > collection @runic marten

[spice imp]

i hit level 50 in carpenter now what

[runic marten]

thank you!!

[warm snow]

I'm doing crp for white, bsm for purple

[zinc bramble]

Honestly, the easiest 50 doh gear might be the grand company gear. Otherwise, wait until HW gear vendor.

[leaden ginkgo]

is smn really that bad now? the amount of thread in the ff14 forum complaining about smn is ridiculous, 8 thread in 1 page lol

[naive ridge]

kind of low dps and lacking utility compared to rdm

very mobile though

[leaden ginkgo]

o wow really? i get the lacking of utility but dps too? and here i though summoning all that primal sound so awesome

[zinc bramble]

It isn't a big deal and balance changes will be coming soon.

[naive ridge]

depends on if they buff smn when savage drops

probably will

[lavish flume]

Hi I'm new to the game and this discord and I'm trying to get the Reaper rotation down by doing the Stone, Sky, Sea - The Final Day solo instance and I'm getting OH SO CLOSE to the kill when the time runs out. I don't want to waste what I'm sure is expensive Tincture of Strength just for the win. I'm more interested in the longer term stats benefit of materia but have never done more than to unlock materia so an NPC can add it for me. My question is (thank you for reading this far by the way) what materia should I put in my full set of moonward gear? Thank you for your time.

[patent citrus]

I don't think you are suppose to use tincture for SSS

crit > det

[lavish flume]

Thank you for the quick answer

[fast talon]

What is the deal with the raid blade tokens? Why 7? is the ilvl really so big they need to make you wait 2 months?

[patent citrus]

you only use tincture if you are 1. hardcore parser , 2. you solved the mechanic, reached enrage and need that tiny bit of dps

other than these 2, tincture aren't that necessary

[lavish flume]

Good to know, thank you

[fast talon]

I dont think they're tuned for potting, not sure about food

u can summon your chocobo too if you want to cheese SSS a little

[naive ridge]

they are used to purchase the tome weapon that releases when savage drops

[twilit arch]

if you're not raiding savage then you realistically don't need the tomestone weapon quickly

[fast talon]

is it a savage tier weapon, like ilvl 600?

[twilit arch]

if you are raiding savage, then you'll get the tomestone weapon more quickly than a non-savage raider

[naive ridge]

its 10 ilvls higher than normal raid tier but lower than savage

[fast talon]

even just 2WD is huge

[twilit arch]

yes but you aren't doing content that you need that 2wd for

[fast talon]

What are the odds of pug savage

[twilit arch]

casual players are always going to lag behind savage raiders in terms of ilvl

plenty of people clear the raid tier via pugging

[fast talon]

what are the odds of week 1 pug savage 😎

[naive ridge]

almost zero

[twilit arch]

a full clear, pretty low

probably can clear floor 1 and 2

3 can be dicey, depending on its difficulty

[naive ridge]

unless you have a pug group that you know, but thats basically a static

[twilit arch]

and 4 is...generally not going to be clearable week 1 with pugs

[naive ridge]

because everyone needs melded crafted gear

[twilit arch]

probably be a week 2/3 with pugs

[naive ridge]

and most pugs wont have that

[fast talon]

[zinc bramble]

I know statics that don't clear full clear for months. Depends who you end up with.

[fast talon]

Ok so the blade is uh.. delayed powerspike for people that weren't able to clear savage and get the real weap?

[zinc bramble]

Or who have no interest in savage

[twilit arch]

yes

[fast talon]

Cool thank u

[naive ridge]

of course, its just even less likely with a pug

[fast talon]

I think I understand, its just a weird way of tiering from what im used to

[patent citrus]

wait, the tiering is different before EW?

I thought it's the same

[zinc bramble]

Other games

[mild marsh]

if i do /nastatus to put my sprout back on will the timer reset?

[zinc bramble]

Not as far as I am aware. It doesn't change your timer or qualifications just toggles if it is shown (if you still qualify).

[frozen zodiac]

I'm trying to figure out whats wrong with my glamour plate. it is only applying the weapon

[zinc bramble]

Do you meet the job and level requirements for the gear on the plate?

[frozen zodiac]

Yes

[faint flare]

Your gear needs to be higher level

[frozen zodiac]

o

[faint flare]

Can't glamour high level stuff on low level gear

[frozen zodiac]

it is a higher ilvl but lower level required

[twilit arch]

ilvl is irrelevant for glam

equip level is all that matters

if what you're wearing is level 50 required to equip and the item you want to glamour requires 53, it won't glam

[frozen zodiac]

this is grumpifying

[leaden ginkgo]

is there a chocobo leveling guide anywhere?

[autumn hedge]

Say I want to change my retainer from a lancer to a bard. What item is it that I need to do that?

[frozen zodiac]

Use gyshal greens and join a fate party. When it hits level 10 use a thavnairian onion.

You just go to the retainer vocate rabid

[autumn hedge]

Thanks 😄

[last mural]

... i didn't know this was a thing... i had just assumed that the Companion's max lvl was 10...

how much xp did i waste not knowing abt this...

[frozen zodiac]

yes

also not much, the current fate parties leveled mine from 19-20 in about an hour, also onions are spendy

[last mural]

i mean my chocobo was at lv 10 for a long time already... could've gotten a ton of xp in the mean time...

so we need 10 of them... and... that's 4m...

ooof...

[viscid lake]

Is there a list of the levels of MSQ that unlock things?

[frozen zodiac]

maximum oof

[bronze pebble]

What's the fastest way to get Tortured, Sorrowful and Harrowing memories of dying?

[frozen zodiac]

things or dungeons/trials/rewards?

[faint flare]

Mob farming in bojza with a party, fates if solo

[last mural]

Why are they so pricey though? Can't they be grown?

[faint flare]

It's a long process

[twilit arch]

you can get 2 free though

[viscid lake]

Either. Like how there's the beast tribes at 41, I'm reading.

[faint flare]

Like 3? Cross breeds

[naive ridge]

Cluster farm with a full party in bozja > HW fates

[modest igloo]

Need a house and a spare month

[bronze pebble]

I see I see thank you

[twilit arch]

https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Thavnairian_Onion

has the 2 side quests that give em

[fierce glacier]

Dang, 4 million

[frozen zodiac]

Ok, so you need to start with some other plants and arrange them in a pattern and then water them religiously and then harvest them and maybe get the seeds and then plant the seeds and water them

[last mural]

...

[fierce glacier]

That does sound rough

[last mural]

okay... i see now...

[fierce glacier]

I’m in the same boat as you queuingway, my baby’s been at 10 for as long as I can remember

[last mural]

so not only do we need an initial investment (and tons of luck) in getting a house, u also need a garden to plant various seeds and pray to RNGesus u get an onion seed, then plant it to harvest it in 10 days?

[potent shard]

Is there a list of rotations for gathering for Scrips?

[zinc bramble]

Or just buy the onions

[leaden ginkgo]

is doing castrum llacusis the only way to get access to open the law order armor set?

[frozen zodiac]

white scrips or purple scips

[leaden ginkgo]

this is my first time doing it and nobody doing that castrum lol

[potent shard]

i guess both, since i need the tokens for folklore

[leaden ginkgo]

it just me and another person 2/48

[modest igloo]

Yep

[leaden ginkgo]

o god

[frozen zodiac]

depends on if you have the stormbloom fishing folklore nodes or not

[leaden ginkgo]

nobody want to do CLL

[potent shard]

ahh i dont have any since EW is my first expac

[sage mist]

Is there a way to get a face scar on a LaLa?

[modest igloo]

Echo used to be really strong but with the stat squish it’s harder now

[sage mist]

Like with the an Aesthetician ?

[leaden ginkgo]

oh well hope SE make it easy with future patch

i really want that set, it look so cool

[fierce glacier]

It does

[modest igloo]

They did the same with eureka

[frozen zodiac]

no, they did not do the same with eureka

[modest igloo]

So it’ll get nerfed and more popular

Later

[frozen zodiac]

eureka only had one instanced boss and people were farming that anyway so it didn't need nerfs.

[fierce glacier]

Hey, so I’ve never done savage before, but I’ve gotten the two EXs down with PF. I heard that it’s harder to get clears without a static, but how much harder would it be than PF EX you think?

[frozen zodiac]

moderately more difficult because you might need to reteach the mechanics every single time

[sick bay]

What should i spend my gatherer's white scrips on ? (I'm leveling miner and botanist from 80 to 90 rn)

[frozen zodiac]

folklore tokens

C for the new nodes specifically

[sick bay]

How can i use those ?

[cold moat]

What's the fastest level 50 dungeon? Trying to do my wondrous tails as fast as possible

[hard aurora]

brayflox hard maybe?

[frozen zodiac]

I like pharos sirius but snowcloak is pretty quick too

[fierce glacier]

Next question, how have EXs compared to Savages in the past difficulty-wise? Savage way more challenging or pretty close?

[naive ridge]

the first two EXs are always easier

[fierce glacier]

Good to know!

[naive ridge]

current two EXs are pretty easy

[last mural]

Folklore token C? Spend them at Raaz, 16 per book, 9 books total (3 BTN books, 3 MIN books, 3 FSH books)

[naive ridge]

Expect the next few EXs to be a little closer to the 1st tier of a savage raid

[last mural]

Is... is that so? I struggled so much trying to learn P2EX... you're telling me that was ez? Oh boy... can't wait for the next 2...

[frozen zodiac]

Like in terms of DPS check I'd say that EX2 is pretty difficult compared to something like say... sophia ex

[topaz basin]

Does anyone have nascent flash macro?

[faint flare]

Ex2 is only tight if people don't have weapons

Or constantly dying

[naive ridge]

the dps requirements are pretty low,

[worn flume]

ex2 dps check is super low

[faint flare]

Launch EXs are purposely loosely tuned to give people time to learn new rotations

[naive ridge]

unless you have a lot of deaths you should be able it if you are doing mechanics

[fierce glacier]

If it’s worth anything, I’ve seen enrage on ex1 many times and I’ve never seen it on ex2 haha

[naive ridge]

a good group can clear ex2 much earlier

[last mural]

eh? i found ex1 to be much easier though

[faint flare]

Cause it is

[naive ridge]

ex1 is easier in than everyone can follow 1 person who knows what they are doing

[faint flare]

Braindead as fuck

Literally a striking dummy

[naive ridge]

ex2 requires everyone to know mechanics

but the mechanics arent especially hard

[faint flare]

Just shit you expect to see in a ex

Nothing super new

[naive ridge]

its just in, out, stacks, group stacks, spread mostly

[fierce glacier]

I’m excited to see savage mechanics then

Assuming they’re more exciting

[worn flume]

ye, a good group kills it soon after the part with ||the crystals and lightwaves||

[faint flare]

They'll have new ones

But you can hazard pretty good guesses from normal

[frozen zodiac]

well thanks for making me feel like crap

[fierce glacier]

Right

[faint flare]

Obviously standard no telegraphs

And combining mechanics

[naive ridge]

or more of the same mechanic

[faint flare]

Or a twist on a existing mechanic

[fierce glacier]

FFXIV is an EASY GAME

[faint flare]

I can see them doing more with the Anti role thing in p4

[naive ridge]

there are brand new mechanics too, especially on the 3rd and 4th tiers

[faint flare]

I didn't see anything new except thr anti role

Then again that's pretty close to O3

Just opposite

[naive ridge]

i meant new as in compared to the normals

[frozen zodiac]

I don't think that is accurate, I think that the difficult mechanics can be handled incrementally tho and that is much better than wow where people implode after a single failure

[modest igloo]

its easy game for babies

me click drill

me do damage

[covert marlin]

Is tenacity the worst stat in game?

[worn flume]

a single failure does pretty much implode you in savage/ult tho

[fierce glacier]

Honestly on paper it sounds easy, but execution is a different story. And that’s with most things in life I think

[faint flare]

Tenacity is pretty low value since everything else is better

[naive ridge]

in savage? it depends on the mechanic

[faint flare]

Poor man's det basically

[naive ridge]

some can wipe you but most are salvagable

[worn flume]

yeah?

[faint flare]

You can argue piety being worst cause doesn't directly increase damage but that goes for how well your mana management is

[naive ridge]

or spellspeed depending on the job

[frozen zodiac]

imagine piety scaling your damage

[autumn hedge]

Where can you buy lvl 70 gear (not with tomes)

[fierce glacier]

Kugane right

[frozen zodiac]

Alphascape : Savage has what you're looking for

[covert marlin]

Hmm don't whm has mana issue, I'm still in HW

[frozen zodiac]

also crystarium

and marketboard

and sidequests

[autumn hedge]

I'm just looking to gear my retainer lol

[faint flare]

Whm is abit hurting for mana with thin air changes

[fierce glacier]

Wait yeah, crystarium then

[frozen zodiac]

also quests in ahm areng

[covert marlin]

Is Crit>DH>Det the order of priority for all classes?

For substats

[frozen zodiac]

no

[worn flume]

varies from job to job

[covert marlin]

Is there a place where I can see all of them?

[frozen zodiac]

Youtube

also google docs

[worn flume]

balance discord

[faint flare]
