[narrow jay]

Game also ends when a player goes negative iirc

[onyx kiln]

can one give up a game?

[narrow jay]

see that X button in the upper right?

[onyx kiln]

you mean for the window?

[narrow jay]

for the mahjong window, not the game window

[onyx kiln]

nope

[narrow jay]

Esc also works

[onyx kiln]

that simple huh

[frozen zodiac]

I died something like 9 times on that quest, so don't sweat it

[dire prawn]

That quest is just a dungeon and trial

[wintry trellis]

[dire prawn]

Chromatic is going to suffer though because they're all of 3 ilvl over the minimum ilvl requirement for both the dungeon and the trial

[frozen zodiac]

it was in the trial and it was day 2 of the expac and there was about a hundred news articles written about how difficult that trial was

which... mechanically it was a step up for normal trials

[boreal storm]

They might get gear from the 70 dungeon, might

[leaden ginkgo]

should i do coils of bahamut before progressing hw

[wintry trellis]

You can if you want.

[dire prawn]

You don't have to

You can if you want

[wintry trellis]

GL finding a party

[frozen zodiac]

coils is for alt gear

[boreal storm]

No, it’s not

[dire prawn]

Take

Why is everything you say a lie

Coils is side content for an epic story

[leaden ginkgo]

does nobody play it

[wintry trellis]

Not rn no

[boreal storm]

Nobody queues for it

[wintry trellis]

But it’s good for story and world building

[frozen zodiac]

people play it, just has a lot of cutscenes

[dire prawn]

Coils is also free poetics if you get a 80+ to take you through it

100 first time bonus

[boreal storm]

First timer PFs are a thing

[wintry trellis]

You can open a party finder for it tho. See if people will join

[frozen zodiac]

because you are not living in the true reality

[wintry trellis]

There’s a diff between blatant misinfo and reality

[boreal storm]

What did we just say about shitposting

[frozen zodiac]

saved me so many poetics

[leaden ginkgo]

if i remember correctly, before, i took these quests from urianger and abandoned them because nobody was queuing for it. Are these required to do the raid series

[wintry trellis]

If you wanna experience the side story it has to offer. Open a party finder. If you’re not that interested you can look it up. Regardless the cutscenes and worldbuilding is p good e rn now

[boreal storm]

Those are trials

[dire prawn]

Those are trials

They're not required for anything

[boreal storm]

And yes they’re optional

[leaden ginkgo]

ok good

[boreal storm]

Because EXs are endgame content

[wintry trellis]

is generally side content and not a need to do

[hallow grove]

at what point is it best to complete the EW role quests chronologically in the msq?

[boreal storm]

Whenever

[dire prawn]

The only thing they do is unlock the ability to dye your 89/90 AF gear

[wintry trellis]

Iirc you don’t get any choice this time regarding dialogue ? So it doesn’t matter

[dire prawn]

So whenever

They're not a requirement for the MSQ like the ShB job quests were

role*

[hallow grove]

alright thank you!

[leaden ginkgo]

how many database transfers can an character have?

only 1 or?

[frozen zodiac]

database transfers? you mean transfering datacenters?

[leaden ginkgo]

yes

[twilit arch]

There's no limit on how many times you can utilize world transfer. but there is a cooldown between transfers. for standard servers its 3 days

[leaden ginkgo]

like moving from crystal to chaos

[golden pendant]

how can I play ffiv without owning the starter edition do I have to wait for it to come back onto the store?

[frozen zodiac]

I believe those are paid transfers unless otherwise stated and I think there is a cooldown associated with them

[twilit arch]

you will have to wait

[golden pendant]

damnnn'

[boreal storm]

Trial, but those are also shut down

[frozen zodiac]

either find a physical copy or wait

[leaden ginkgo]

how would i do such a transfer? (from crystal to chaos)

[frozen zodiac]

I believe it is on mogstation

[twilit arch]

home world transfer is currently disabled for the time being

[golden pendant]

would me buying a realm reborn grant me access?

[frozen zodiac]

would be world transfer service and that is disabled until the aggressive server upgrades are complete

[noble orbit]

You can't buy the game now

[frozen zodiac]

yes but don't spend more than $20 on it rn

[wintry chasm]

That is the starter edition basically. You can't buy ARR only

[leaden ginkgo]

i see, will it return at the same time when full upgrade is possible?

[twilit arch]

we don't know

but most likely

[leaden ginkgo]

alright

thanks foe the help

[covert parcel]

is there any fast level way to do the mining from 50-60?

[frozen zodiac]

[boreal storm]

Leves

[covert parcel]

thanks

[frozen zodiac]

also, define fast cause took me about 2 hours

[covert parcel]

0-0 omg

[bright hatch]

Ehh just do leves

Lazy way

[frozen zodiac]

leves work but they are lazy and you might want your leves for other things

[bright hatch]

Thats why its lazy way. If u want 50-60 fast do ishgard large leve

[frozen zodiac]

those cost 10 leve allocations

[bright hatch]

lazy way

[frozen zodiac]

at least do something to get scrips so you get the survival manual and remember food

[bright hatch]

He could do custom for those. I mean.

Not like going hit 90 anytime soon anyway

[frozen zodiac]

He could hit 90 today

we don't know what content he has unlocked

[boreal storm]

They wanted to know methods, you told them. Convo over

[covert parcel]

there is no similar thing like the gacha for DoH?

[bright hatch]

Gacha?

There is like poor, normal, good, excellent while crafting if thats what u mean

[empty bloom]

to unlock melding for endgame gear I need max level crafter job of whatever sort or some special one? can be gatherer?

[bright hatch]

@empty bloom think it has to be crafter

[frozen zodiac]

has to be crafter

[bright hatch]

Any

[covert parcel]

these

[bright hatch]

Oh just follow them

[frozen zodiac]

uhhhh, there is diadem

[boreal storm]

That’s collectibles

[frozen zodiac]

but diadem is different

[bright hatch]

I would just buy mats on market board if cheap

Some are like 20 gil per

[frozen zodiac]

depending on server

[bright hatch]

Yuh

Having botanist will make getting part that isnt from diadem easy

[lone violet]

does doing the role quest give you good gear for level 90 ?

[boreal storm]

No it just lets you dye it

[bright hatch]

^

[boreal storm]

You get the gear from msq

[lone violet]

oh

so should I bother with the role quest then ?

[bright hatch]

Only if u want to

[boreal storm]

Do you want to be fancy?

[frozen zodiac]

verifiably not worth it for pld gear, most other classes are pretty nice to dye with tho

[lone violet]

I already like the default black color for GNB

[bright hatch]

Rpr armor in hot pink is confirmed a power move

[lone violet]

I didn't know you can dye role quest gear

[boreal storm]

It’s not role quest gear

[lone violet]

wished I did that for my level 80 GNB outfit

[boreal storm]

Lvl 80 you get dyeable versions from memoria EX

[frozen zodiac]

which you can do unsynced

level 70 you have to slum it in eureka anemos for... ever

[lone violet]

ah ok

[frozen zodiac]

level 60 is poetics

[boreal storm]

No

[frozen zodiac]

no?

[boreal storm]

60 AF is from the job quest

[frozen zodiac]

dyable tho

[boreal storm]

And if you dumped it, you rebuy with centurio seals

[frozen zodiac]

unless they changed it, its poetics

[boreal storm]

The 60 job gear is dyeable by default now

[frozen zodiac]

sweet

level 50 is crafter

gotta craft augmentations and exchange in mor dhona

[hearty acorn]

so if my buddy bought only arr would he now have access to stormblood or is he screwed for the time being?

[lone violet]

So I will get this gear while doing the MSQ and if I want to dye I would have to do the role quest to get a dyable version right ?

[frozen zodiac]

You can upgrade if you have arr registers

just get the endwalker upgrade

[frozen zodiac]

correct

[lone violet]

ok good to know

[hearty acorn]

but you still need endwalker right

[lone violet]

how do you get other jobs level 90 armor from role quest ?

[frozen zodiac]

you register base game and expansion separately, endwalker will give you (heavensward) stormblood and shadowbringer

[boreal storm]

You don’t

All the gear is at the vendor

[frozen zodiac]

you get the armor as part of msq

you do the role quest to dye it

[lone violet]

what vendor ?

[frozen zodiac]

the vendor you unlock in msq

[boreal storm]

You meet them during the msq, at lvl 89

[lone violet]

ah ok

thank you

so role quest in order to dye

[bright hatch]

Yuh

[lone violet]

is it the same for SHB ?

[frozen zodiac]

no, trial for shb

[boreal storm]

.

[bright hatch]

Memoria T.T

[lone violet]

aw lame

[bright hatch]

Shb was how u got relic armor

[frozen zodiac]

somebody translate the latin, but I think its memory of misery

[boreal storm]

Scroll up, we just talked about all the ways to get them dyeable

[bright hatch]

From the role quest

[humble epoch]

Ishguardian restoration is the best method for leveling my crafters?

The higher grade i make the more xp i get?

[boreal storm]

It only works up to lvl 80

[bright hatch]

^ but thats more then enough

80-90 easy do like 30ish levequest or less

[golden jewel]

the magic word is collectibles

a shitload of scripts + very good xp

and not limited like leves

[frozen zodiac]

Just need to get good with ephemeral nodes for infinite crystals

[golden jewel]

theres a collectible exchange and script exchange next to the western marketboard in limsa

buy materials, craft, get xp and scripts when you turn in, profit and stonks

[delicate mirage]

I did the msq for job change and I'm lvl 30 how do I change my job?

[golden jewel]

equip another weapon of the job you want to do

[frozen zodiac]

lower right of your equipment screen

for the job stone

[frosty badger]

Do you need to be in the same world/server of an FC to join it?

[frozen zodiac]

same home world, yes

[delicate mirage]

the armoury chest?

or character menu?

[frozen zodiac]

you did the level 30 quest, then the other level 30 quest for the job stone?

[delicate mirage]

what

[frozen zodiac]

upper left to change class, lower right to equip job

[delicate mirage]

I need to do more quests??

[frozen zodiac]

if you're trying to go from say... conjurer to white mage

yes

[delicate mirage]

I'm already 10 levels behind in msq please don't make me do all of that D:

NOOOOO T-TTTTTTT

[frozen zodiac]

see the fancy rock?

you must obtain the fancy rock

[delicate mirage]

yea

from msq or a side quest?

[frozen zodiac]

class quest

[delicate mirage]

please say side quest

huh

I'm in the arcanist guild rn and there's no quest tho?

[frozen zodiac]

arcanist? should be two quests there after you do the level 30 class quest

you trying to unlock smn or scholar?

[delicate mirage]

summoner

[faint flare]

!faq job

[zinc orbit]

How do I unlock my job?

To unlock your class' job you need to be level 30, complete all of your class quests and the main scenario quest 'Sylph Management' (lvl 20 quest) to be able to pick up your job unlock quest. Once you've done the initial unlock quest, you will be given a soul crystal which you must equip to become your class' job.

[delicate mirage]

I can't see the lvl 30 class quest tho

[faint flare]

Do more story then

[delicate mirage]

I did sylph management

just now

[faint flare]

!faq msqtracker

[zinc orbit]

MSQ Tracker image guide

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

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

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

[faint flare]

Look at this

Click number 2

[delicate mirage]

so what's the unlock quest?

number 2 is my little chocobo..

[faint flare]

Do it

[delicate mirage]

but I need to craft a bunch of stuff for that D:

[faint flare]

No

[delicate mirage]

no?

[twilit arch]

you get the 300 seals you need from the msq

[delicate mirage]

oh

[faint flare]

You.were literally given the seals

[delicate mirage]

srry ;;

[faint flare]

After getting that quest which unlocked iy

[delicate mirage]

then where do I buy the chocobo issuance?

[twilit arch]

your grand company quartermaster

[frozen zodiac]

the command seat of your gc

[wraith turtle]

So is there a specific channel to ask about stat priorities, or would it be fine to ask that here?

[frozen zodiac]

!balancefaq

[faint flare]

!faq balance

[zinc orbit]

The Balance

Discord

[frozen zodiac]

yes, that, thank you

[wraith turtle]

Perfect, thanks

[mellow pike]

Hey, I accidentialy left my raid group without rolling for loot on EW spoiler: ||Asphodelus: Third Circle|| can I join a raidgroup again and clear that boss so I can roll on loot?

[frozen zodiac]

yea

[mellow pike]

Ah that's good, thank you!

[boreal aurora]

is the crafted ilvl580 gear gonna be better than the one we have now?

[frozen zodiac]

depends on your stat priority, but generally

[faint flare]

It's equal to normal mode raid

[boreal storm]

It can be overmelded so...

[frozen zodiac]

they should make normal raid gear capable of advanced melding

[errant mesa]

What ilevel is savage gear?

[frozen zodiac]

should be 600

[faint flare]

Then there would be no reason for crafted gear

[errant mesa]

600? Zoinks

[delicate mirage]

what do I do?

[faint flare]

Savage is 600, 605 weapon

[boreal storm]

Wrong quartermaster

[frozen zodiac]

take about 5 steps to the right

[pine ridge]

How does one start grinding for a relic weapon

[delicate mirage]

LMAO okay

[robust crow]

pick a relic first

there are 4 different relic questlines

[delicate mirage]

I found it tyyyyy

[pine ridge]

And all relic questlines have one for each respective class?

[boreal storm]

Some are more annoying than others

[boreal storm]

No

[robust crow]

the ARR line doesn't have relics for newer classes

[frozen zodiac]

no, goes by expac

[robust crow]

and so on

[open coral]

If the job didn't exist in that expansion, it doesn't have a relic.

[pine ridge]

So none in arr for rdm

[boreal storm]

If the job wasn’t around, it doesn’t have that relic

[robust crow]

correct

[pine ridge]

But hw will have relic weapon?

[boreal storm]

No

[pine ridge]

Is rdm a hw class

[robust crow]

RDM relics start with stormblood

[pine ridge]

Oh nvm

[faint flare]

All expansions do

[open coral]

Only SB and ShB have RDM relics.

[flint pollen]

sorry got distracted and i have gotten those before and i understand it does not clear MSQ and im all good with that

[boreal storm]

So what did you mean by this?

Because job skips are the only things that do that

[flint pollen]

i wanted to lvl some toon to 70s and that is the main thing i want to do

[frozen zodiac]

Tales of Adventure

[boreal storm]

You can’t buy the 70 skips anymore

It’s 80 now

[flint pollen]

there are 2 types one for the toos and the other for msq and they both have prices

[frozen zodiac]

same price

just 10 more levels

[flint pollen]

so where are they located on the mogstation ? because there is a lot of changes on the site

[frozen zodiac]

uhhh, left side

[boreal storm]

The online store

[pine ridge]

Most fun melee dps in yalls opinion?

[flint pollen]

ok thx

[frozen zodiac]

https://store.finalfantasyxiv.com/ffxivstore/en-us/category/7/2

right there

[open coral]

RPR is fun.

SAM is also fun.

Or it was last expansion.

idk about this expansion because I haven't leveled it yet.

[frozen zodiac]

DRG would be most fun if damage numbers weren't a thing

[boreal storm]

!faq meta

[zinc orbit]

How FFXIV's Meta Works

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

[frozen zodiac]

I enjoy BLM. I'm also terrible at it.

[rocky vine]

^HOW ARE YOU TERRIBLE AT BLM SMHHHH

[boreal storm]

Also next week we’re getting adjustments, because Savage

[frozen zodiac]

am too greedy and my wheel keeps stopping

I just need more spell speed, I swear

[robust crow]

BLM has a pretty low skill floor

lol

you're either great at it or awful at it

[rocky vine]

STOP BEING GREEDY

GREEDY IS BAD

DONT BE GREEDY

[frozen zodiac]

thank you, I misremembered

[open spire]

Hey team just confirming do the Stormblood 4.0 Boss Fate Foxy Lady still happen/spawn?

[frozen zodiac]

yes

[frozen zodiac]

check your corresponding datacenter hunt discord

[abstract plaza]

How do i get through there?

[merry merlin]

Story Progress

[boreal storm]

Do the msq

[humble epoch]

When crafting is the condition random?

[granite root]

Would there be any reason why a party member isn't getting a teleport request

Like... If they can also teleport there

[pure copper]

u ahve to be a similar proximity to the person who tp'd i think?

[granite root]

I'm getting requests from them when they teleport, no matter how far I am from them, but they aren't getting any when I do even when I'm next to them when I teleport

[frozen zodiac]

you may be teleporting somewhere they do not have unlocked

[granite root]

They have the location unlocked and manually teleported there when the request didn't show up

[errant mesa]

Are limbo blades tradeable

And will there be an upgrade to the 89 ex weapon

[frozen zodiac]

you mean the new raid blades?

[errant mesa]

Yes

[boreal storm]

Nope

[frozen zodiac]

no

also no to the first question

[errant mesa]

Tradeable in the sense that there is something to trade them in for

[heavy wadi]

not yet.

[boreal storm]

Of course it’s a raid drop

[granite root]

IIRC you can trade them to an NPC shopkeeper for a laughably low amount of money

That's it

[errant mesa]

Gil is gil

[frozen zodiac]

they're for the tomestone weapon that isn't out yet

[boreal storm]

89 ex weapon will get a crafted version eventually...when they feel like it

[errant mesa]

The particle version is what I want so

[frozen zodiac]

master book 11

[granite root]

But yeah any reason why I can get TP requests from anywhere to anywhere from my party member but my party member is getting none from me

[frozen zodiac]

they may have it turned off

[errant mesa]

So until savage drops i578 is the current max?

[granite root]

It is on

[frozen zodiac]

580

[errant mesa]

How is it 580

[boreal storm]

Raid gear is 580

[errant mesa]

All pieces are weighted the same no?

[boreal storm]

EX ring is 580

[errant mesa]

I'm talking overall ilevel

[frozen zodiac]

raid ring, ex2 weapon, ex1 ring and right side, raid left side

[boreal storm]

So if all gear is 580

[errant mesa]

You can't get all raid left side in the two weeks its been out

Hence my query about it being i578

[boreal storm]

You just asked about the max

And we told you what it is

[errant mesa]

Yes, with regard to overall ilevel

[twilit arch]

I mean...580 is max ilv currently

if you're talking specifically at week 2

that's different

[errant mesa]

Right

Is 578 the best max before savage drops

[twilit arch]

577 is max ilvl

[faint flare]

If.you maximise getting ilvl, basically not getting chest/legd

[twilit arch]

on week2

[faint flare]

I'm 577 but miss ring, head and chest

[errant mesa]

I skipped chest and legs for the other items

[warm snow]

I'm 577 with chest feet and all 580 accessories

[humble epoch]

As a crafter at what level can i usually be able to make 80+ collectability items?

[errant mesa]

I'm 578, hence why I was curious

[frozen zodiac]

level 80+ or 80+ collectability?

[warm snow]

Collectability = quality for crafters

So git gud at crafting

[frozen zodiac]

Trial synthesis is good

[pure copper]

are the simulation websites better or worse than trial?

[frozen zodiac]

easier to make a macro on teamcraft but you have to put in your stats every time

but verify your macro via trial synth, sometimes you'll be really glad you did

[outer lodge]

whenever i launch from steam since the last few days now I get this popup before i can log in anybody know what it is?

[proud tide]

Yo any big ticket leves for some ez gil i got 100 burning a hole in my pocket

[tall mountain]

i know this is the most irrelevant thing ever, but how do crafters get more vitality? i've got more vitality than my friend who has the same gear and levels

[frozen zodiac]

whatever is cheap and gives lightning crystals

[tepid stag]

is there a lvl 90 mount like the amaro in endwalker

[faint flare]

No

[errant mesa]

How do you get the amaro

[frozen zodiac]

all jerbs level 80

[faint flare]

All jobs at 80

[errant mesa]

Yikes

[frozen zodiac]

for level 90 all you get is a hat

[errant mesa]

Is it the namono hat from studium

[frozen zodiac]

no

[errant mesa]

:(

[frozen zodiac]

its like a flapper girl hat

[sudden mango]

is this bannable if i report this guy ?

(begging for gil in pf)

[errant mesa]

Why do you care

[frozen zodiac]

Uhhhh, if it isn't explicitly against the updated tos I'd leave it alone

[sudden mango]

that doesnt answer my question

[errant mesa]

Neither does yours mine

[quiet condor]

so what do i do about gear in eureka, since i am playing reaper? there is no gear i can get with protean

[frozen zodiac]

Have you read the updated guideance from square enix on whats reportable?

[sudden mango]

alright will do, hoped to find a fast answer

[frozen zodiac]

Fund a job or relic you like

[tight plinth]

I mean he's just asking for help

[modest igloo]

you get the kirins osode for gear

das about it for gear in eureka for now

[quiet condor]

i do have the kirins, just wondering if i can upgrade myself more

[frozen zodiac]

He means what to do with all the stuff you get in eureka

[modest igloo]

not until the last zone

ah yeah

just save it

[quiet condor]

i see, just stick with kirins for now

[warm snow]

If you want the eureka armor you HAVE to do a eureka relic to at least the finished pagos stage. So you're gonna have to do it on a job from stormblood or before

[frozen zodiac]

Uhhh, was it pyros and hydatos crystals you needed for elemental set +2

[quiet condor]

my goal is just to get the mount

i dont really care about the armor or the weapons

[warm snow]

You'll want/need some of the armor towards that

[quiet condor]

damn i see

so i cant use reaper then

[frozen zodiac]

There are... 6 mounts in eureka so I'm gonna assume you mean the shiny spherical one

[raven sage]

if you only want the one from BA then you can get by with the osode

[quiet condor]

i guess i can use my machinist

[raven sage]

since the only other gear you would have as an upgrade wouldn't be an upgrade until after you've run BA once

which you wouldn't need to anymore

[quiet condor]

i just want the uh

well i want all the mounts tbh

thats the only thing i want from eureka

[raven sage]

There's nothing wrong with using reaper

[frozen zodiac]

ok, open lockboxes periodically and when you get a bunny use the carrot and follow the bunny

[errant mesa]

You must have a jamaican accent while playing though

[quiet condor]

but people said i need some of the elemental armor

to work towards the mount right

[frozen zodiac]

no

[raven sage]

That's after

you can get the mount without the gear

[quiet condor]

oh, ok

[frozen zodiac]

eureka is a grind

[quiet condor]

as long as i didnt waste my 400k on this maiming kirins osode

im fine

ill just keep using reaper then

[raven sage]

yeah that elemental gear is just if you want to be beefy for BA specifically

Not a full need by any means

[quiet condor]

gotcha

what is BA btw lol

[raven sage]

baldesion arsenal

[quiet condor]

thats what i need to do for that shapeshifting mount right

[frozen zodiac]

even then I think kirin's might outclass the elemental chest

[raven sage]

it's the big raid at the end that gives the achievment mount

[quiet condor]

i just have the kirins on and the rest is 80 poetics gear

[raven sage]

you're set then

[frozen zodiac]

basically you want to proceed with eureka until you have 5 elemental slot things, and then you can optionally go for other things like 6 and 7th slots, elemental armor, uhhhh, blitzring, the hat

I think there is one or two more peices

whats the hat called

[quiet condor]

right now, im just leveling slowly so i can progress through anemos and get the aetherytes

[errant mesa]

How high should I get elemental level to

[quiet condor]

still lvl 9

progress is slow i can see why this is a grind

[errant mesa]

Challenge log is your friend

[mint nest]

do someone got a free account that can actually play? trial is disabled and i wanna try the game so bad 😅

[faint flare]

No cause that's bannable and against tos

[frozen zodiac]

what region are you in adrian? na or eu?

[leaden ginkgo]

is there still a way to change summon size ? I tried /petsize "Garuda-Egi "large" but that doesn't do anything?

[faint flare]

It's not.for the egis

[frozen zodiac]

https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/playguide/db/text_command/ded8f6e43d6/

[faint flare]

[leaden ginkgo]

ah ok thanks

[frozen zodiac]

[frozen zodiac]

[hardy inlet]

wdym?

[outer lodge]

I did not no

[hardy inlet]

ah kk

ty ❤️

[frozen zodiac]

restart steam/computer?

[outer lodge]

I havent yet I was gonna when I get out of this chat with my internet provider

[sacred apex]

Apologies for the question, I’m in need of a Sage controller Hotbar setup for all the abilities, a bit overwhelmed by the abilities

[shut kelp]

whats the best thing to be spending white scrips on rn?

[frozen zodiac]

crafter is materia, gatherer is folklore books

if you have all the folklore books, materia

[shut kelp]

kk ty, thats what ive been doing, but was just wondering if there was something more valuable

[sweet topaz]

ive been playing ffxiv for quite a long time but i some how struggle to find long term friends. What do i need to do? ;-;

[frozen zodiac]

save some next maintenance for crafting books

[maiden copper]

what are the easiest/fastest command missions for getting to gc captain?

[frozen zodiac]

well what strategies have you tried for making friends?

[frozen zodiac]

I think you need 5, so the first 5

[maiden copper]

gross

[sweet topaz]

well im not sure where to start. Ive tried fellowships, joining FCs, joining discord servers. I also tried being active in chats in raids and dungeons.

[golden jewel]

i have a very stupid beginner question, why does IX materia give less stats than VIII materia?

my impression,assumption and expectation was that it scales with higher numbers

[frozen zodiac]

ok, lets test this.

1:) tell me a joke.

2:) do you have any in depth conversations on any given topic with people in that time?

3:) what you've describe isn't really a strategy so much as an assortment of activities, have you read any literature on how to make friends?

[faint flare]

Cause it's for overmelding

also keep in mind that the entire (digital?) world is basically built around being skeptical and avoiding people rn, thank you scam economy

[sweet topaz]

come on man, im quite a charismatic and active person irl, 🤣

[faint flare]

9s aren't an upgrade of 8s, they're an upgrade of 7s

[golden jewel]

over malding

[frozen zodiac]

I'm not

[golden jewel]

i see, makes .. a tiny bit of sense

[frozen zodiac]

they wrote a book on how to make friends and influence people, specifically for people like me

[golden jewel]

but more than anything i can come up with, some twisted ilevel capped overmelding version

[sweet topaz]

I have lots of friends irl and i find it really easy. Its just that ffxiv is so different. I can make a friends on there but i dont end up speaking to them again. Im just wondering how people make close friends on there.

[leaden ginkgo]

Is world transferring still maintenance?

[slate arrow]

yes

[slate arrow]

FFXIV requires a different sort of friend group

Most of my FFXIV interaction comes with discussing things outside of the game more often than not

it's not like say Halo where you and your buddies can just party up and have a romp of a time

FFXIV is both multiplayer in it's design but also single player in it's story

[sweet topaz]

I see 🤔

[slate arrow]

It's less "let's do things" and more "a hangout space"

[leaden ginkgo]

@sweet topaz ffxiv is very social

[slate arrow]

Because there's such a variety of things you can do

Instead of "queue into quick play and shoot for a few hours"

[open coral]

I agree with the Robot formerly known as Industrial.

[slate arrow]

Beep boop.

[open coral]

I have a lot of friend groups that I'm part of for XIV

[leaden ginkgo]

me and my FC fish all day and watch anime

I'm seeing so many reapers nowadays, but is it the strongest melee? I'm wondering why it is so popular

[open coral]

But I wouldn't say I have any really "close" friends

[sweet topaz]

why does this feel like a blue quest 😅

[leaden ginkgo]

@leaden ginkgo newest dps, not strongest

[slate arrow]

At the moment it's one of the top DPS. Expect potency nerfs with the Savage patch in a week.

But also yeah it's the newest one

And the most stylish

[sweet topaz]

😮 that sounds like fun

[leaden ginkgo]

In terms of roulette contents (not savages, etc), which job has the highest DPS? During ShB, I think it was NIN, MCH and RDM, as they had good dps during the lower level

[slate arrow]

Leveling roulette the point is moot

Expansion jobs scale significantly better

[open coral]

^ consistently this.

[slate arrow]

because they're just better by default while ARR jobs usually get traits and skills removed

[open coral]

Last expansion GNB and DNC were insane in synced content.

Even now, DNC performs very well in low level dungeons simply by virtue of having an AoE rotation

[slate arrow]

literally no ARR job had a 1000 potency nuke every 30 seconds while dancer got that shit for free

[sweet topaz]

I switched from SAM to RPR and its so smooth. I love reaper more in every way

[leaden ginkgo]

Then are reapers the strongest in synced content? I'm considering to level up 1 job to use it to gain totems in synced roulette content in the future

[slate arrow]

oh then BLU mage

BLU mage breaks everything

It's the strongest

[golden jewel]

does anyone know if ex1 really requires a tankswap after tankbuster? ive watched 3 videos now and dont see any debuffs or the likes of that

[slate arrow]

assuming you can get the required spells

[warm snow]

It does

[warm snow]

It really doesn't matter

You alone isn't gonna balance out a bad party

[raven bolt]

is it possible to burst down ifrit extreme before he phases?

[warm snow]

Yes

[sweet topaz]

if you like satisfying sounds and flashy effects then reaper is for you

[warm snow]

Even synced

[leaden ginkgo]

I find WAR to be one of those jobs, because even if healers are really bad and I have 2 DPS who have lower dps than healers, WAR can survive

[warm snow]

!faq meta

[zinc orbit]

How FFXIV's Meta Works

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

[warm snow]

Still applies

Just play what you want

[leaden ginkgo]

I really like those flashy effects. RDM effects is pretty good in my opinion.

[sweet topaz]

then you have the transformation (shroud) 🥴

[leaden ginkgo]

Honestly, Resolution, Verthunder III, Veraero III have good effects and they also have a nice looking icons

[frozen zodiac]

is there anywhere in the game you can both be upside down and change classes?

[mint nest]

eu

[frozen zodiac]

don't know where to direct you to get an eu key

[gaunt fable]

will i lose my company seals if I change factions?

[slate arrow]

No, however you will not be able to earn more

[frozen zodiac]

no(t exactly)

[gaunt fable]

👀

[gaunt fable]

a

[frozen zodiac]

still gottem

[gaunt fable]

i see, thanks

[leaden ginkgo]

I also have one more question, but do I need to buy new gears and do materia melding to go to savages? It's really expensive, so I'm wondering if it is sufficient to get extreme gears on left and weapon, and get normal raids gear in the left

[slate arrow]

Buying gear is the fastest way to skip the grind

[frozen zodiac]

the strategy is push to enrage deathless and then evaluate from there

[slate arrow]

As normal raid gear requires like... 4 weeks?

[leaden ginkgo]

But buying gears take around 100k/gear in the first month, right? I'm pretty short of gil right now.

[slate arrow]

of course

That's just the markets

[ashen ginkgo]

How do I cast glamour on a weapon slot with an item in the Armoire?

[slate arrow]

also why I'm an advocate for leveling your own crafters

[frozen zodiac]

the trick is to sell your tomestones

[warm snow]

If you have to ask you're probably still new enough that the answer is yes

[frozen zodiac]

and your bicolor gems

and your gc seals

[warm snow]

Side note 100k is a pittance at the endgame

[errant mesa]

What are the tournament rules for this bi weekly tournament in triple triad?

[warm snow]

Take it out and cast the old fashioned way, or put it in a glamour plate

[frozen zodiac]

no

[leaden ginkgo]

No for me. I've been playing this game for around a year, but I never try to gain gil, so I only have around 10M at the moment.

[warm snow]

For armoire, yes

[frozen zodiac]

there is an armorie button on the glamour dresser

[warm snow]

Yes but that doesn't let you apply glam

[open coral]

Yes it does.

[leaden ginkgo]

Even if I were to buy the gear, is materia melding required in savages?

[open coral]

If the item you want to use as glamour is in the armoire, you can use it to cast a glamour

From the glamour dresser

[warm snow]

No, but it's expected and if you have to ask you're probably inexperienced enough that you'll want it

[frozen zodiac]

push to enrage deathless, then evaluate. We don't know if you're just that good. But yea, extract materia from your stuff and do the leveling roulette with adventurer in need bonus for infinite a lot of materia

[warm snow]

Technically you can do savages with unmelded full 580 gear from normal raids

But that's only if you're entire group is playing at a week 1-2 clear lebel

[frozen zodiac]

also, notice I said extract, not retrieve

[warm snow]

And if you're coming here to ask this, it's probably not the case

If you want to clear savage, you want every little bit of extra damage you can get

[frozen zodiac]

Right, the more damage you can pile on the better

[warm snow]

At minimum that'll mean all 580 gear with at least basic melds

[reef quiver]

Which endwalker zone has battle leves?

[leaden ginkgo]

Generally, if people have 580 gears, do you think it would be possible to see enrage in 1st/2nd floors with no death? I only started doing savages at the end of 5.5, so there were no enrage if there were no dead people, as everyone was doing it with 530 gears.

[frozen zodiac]

that way if you(r group) messes up its easier to recover

[faint flare]

None

[warm snow]

Battle leves were removed/discontinued in stormblood

[frozen zodiac]

they're called fate groups and they're in party finder

[warm snow]

On party finder for the first two weeks, we can't say for sure but if your experience is that low, we'll it's equally low

[frozen zodiac]

mechanically, yes, almost every class has a 2 minute group mitigation now

[leaden ginkgo]

Thanks! I might then try doing savage 1st floor with normal raids + extreme gear, and if I find it to be difficult, I will wait until 6.1 release, so that I can easily get 590 or 600 gears

[viscid moth]

Any ideas what the fastest gc sqaudrons dungeons are to get the last rank?

[frozen zodiac]

you can get 590 with 6.05 release, that is the new tomestone

[faint flare]

Gear won't stop you from failing mechanics

[warm snow]

590 gear comes on savage release

Your gear won't do shit against actual mechanics

600 will be the new ilevel cap with 6.05

[frozen zodiac]

satasha, thousand maws, hakke, brayflox, stone vigil

[viscid moth]

do they need to be unique still?

[frozen zodiac]

5 separate ones, yes

[boreal aurora]

how much will a 6.05 master book cost

[warm snow]

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Probably a few thousand white scrips

[regal pawn]

1.2k

[frozen zodiac]

there will be two books per prof

[regal pawn]

probs

[boreal aurora]

why two

[regal pawn]

Master 8s costed 1.2k white scrips

[warm snow]

Upside, custom deliveries will be reset on the day

[boreal aurora]

its 1 book per prof

[frozen zodiac]

should be total of 2000 per prof

[faint flare]

10s come later

[boreal aurora]

8s and 10s what does it mean

[faint flare]

Master book

[frozen zodiac]

the last tier of master book cost 1200 when it came out

[regal pawn]

They're each gonna be 1.2k, if we go by SHB value
Since 7 and 8 dropped to 800

[frozen zodiac]

but 7 &8 came out the same day

so is there a liveletter thing that says we're not getting 10 next week?

[slate arrow]

FFXIV patches have been fomulatic since HW

sure there's some QoL and changes every expansion

but they don't change things most of the time

[frozen zodiac]

thus my question

[slate arrow]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

they haven't said anything so it's easy to assume the latter

but who knows

[warm snow]

Except for craftable primal weapons

[regal pawn]

We don't talk about those

[frozen zodiac]

we're getting em all eventually except for lakshmi and innocence weapons

[boreal aurora]

are this the good looking weapons

[frozen zodiac]

the shiny ones

[warm snow]

The ones with a unique glow

[warm snow]

We got zurvan in 5.3 and we still don't have craftable susano weapons

[small siren]

Where can I buy level 60 tomestone equipment for Stormblood? Level 56 msq and almost at the cap so I wanna prepare.

[frozen zodiac]

gonna double check the susano weapons, cause I saw 6/6 for stormblood

[warm snow]

In idyllshire, stormblood is 70

[small siren]

Oh an area I'm not in yet

[frozen zodiac]

you are correct, no susano weapons

why do I remember those

[warm snow]

If you can't buy them yet, you don't need them yet

Go buy ironworks gear for an alt

[sacred apex]

Apologies for the question, I’m in need of a Sage controller Hotbar setup for all the abilities, a bit overwhelmed by the abilities

[warm snow]

We don't do that here

[small siren]

Pass lol

Leveling 3 magic classes rn

[warm snow]

Just run through the skills and think about it, find what works for you, tweak as needs be etc

[open coral]

#protips-and-ui might have some ideas for you.

[warm snow]

Use a previous healer hotbar setup as a template even

[open coral]

But I personally agree with Kat

Hotbar setups should be what feels most comfortable for you.

[faint flare]

Copy your scholar hotbars

[open coral]

And that means playing around with spell locations

[warm snow]

Copying an older player might not work since they could have muscle memory from long lost arr skills they no longer have and shit like that

[warped nest]

Simple rule of thumbs

Skills you used often, you want to make them easier to press

This includes your dosis, eukrasia, your short cooldown ability, or addergall/sting spenders etc

[reef quiver]

How much exp does endwalker dungeons give per run?

[faint flare]

About 40%

[warped nest]

So, about 6 runs to get 2 level, then?

[frozen zodiac]

yea, about 5 runs per 2 level

[open coral]

Give or take a bit, yeah.

[frozen zodiac]

so 2/5th of a level

[faint flare]

5 and some fates

[frozen zodiac]

errr, wait

[sage mist]

Any Idea what the gear reqs will be for Savages next week?

[frozen zodiac]

575

[faint flare]

570-570

[warm snow]

580 for the final fights

[faint flare]

570-580

[warm snow]

Based on e1-4s

[reef quiver]

Damn, so which woild be the quickest one to run?

[obsidian patio]

570-575-580-580 probably

[open coral]

For leveling?

Your highest level dungeon.

Period

[warped nest]

The highest level dungeon you can get in

[open coral]

It's not like the level 81 dungeon will give 40% of your xp bar if you're level 89.

[sage mist]

Thanks all

[warm snow]

Quick is pointless, you do the highest level levelling dungeon

[open coral]

It scales, but not entirely.

[warped nest]

It scales?

[warm snow]

Otherwise people would just run the low level ones and that would be pointless

[warped nest]

Not flat exp?

[open coral]

No

[warm snow]

It is flat

But you'll get roughly 40% of a level for the expected levels of a levelling dungeon

[open coral]

It scales slightly as long as you're within the actual level range for the dungeon

It doesn't scale past that level though.

[warped nest]

I don't think that's how it works

But yeah, don't think about being fast with your dungeon run time

Saving a minute in a lower level dungeon won't beat clearing a dungeon matching your level

[frozen zodiac]

however, you can stop and farm glams

[warped nest]

If we are in a game where you need to clear 50+ of the same dungeon to earn reward, then those time save matters

[frozen zodiac]

like the stuff in the ilvl 81 dungeon

or the stuff in the ilvl 87 dungeon

or the weapons from the ilvl 83 dungeon

[warped nest]

Item level refers to the power level of a gear

[viscid moth]

Can i swap my retainers to expansion jobs like redmage/drk?

[void saddle]

Hi all, i have never played the game before, but considering buying it because of good reviews, is it too late to start playing this, would it be overwhelming joining the mmo this late?

[steep egret]

game isn't for sale at the moment, due to server overpopulation

[faint flare]

You can't buy it currently

[steep egret]

you also can't even register for the free trial

[faint flare]

It's too popular

[steep egret]

soooo come back another time

[faint flare]

Server can't handle it

[void saddle]

lol! they planned the release well then

[viscid moth]

no one could know that the competition would commit sudoku

[slate arrow]

less planned it and more "they ran out of ShB patch content to stretch and people really wanted EW"

[steep egret]

dont get us started on it,
they planned the release as well as they could, they literally couldn't buy new servers due to worldwide shortages, they literally tried to throw money at the problem and failed

[tall mountain]

they knew this was going to happen 7-8 months before the release

literally nothing they could do about it

[slate arrow]

just a extremely unfortunate domino effect

[steep egret]

they were planning to upgrade servers as far back as June, and couldn't get the hardware

[viscid moth]

There is very little fomo design here so once the trial is up again you should try it with no worrys.

[wintry chasm]

Endwalker question: ||does anyone know what that male vocal song is called in Endwalker? It plays when you are walking with the twins near the end of the game. If it doesn't have a name is there at least a YouTube video I can listen to it with?||

[slate arrow]

||Close in the Distance||

[wintry chasm]

Thank you so much.

[slate arrow]

||I hope you're ready to cry||

[regal pawn]

||You can get it from the bicolor man when you get 66 fates done||

[wintry chasm]

Seriously

[slate arrow]

the fate farm

it never ends....

[steep egret]

in terms of joining now
the game removes little to no content, so basically 99% of whats been released since ARR (2013) is in game still
when you do get in, take your time, have fun, level and enjoy the story
you have a couple of years between expansions, plenty of time to go through everything eventually,
the game is also designed to make catching up, at least in terms of gear, fairly simple

[void saddle]

nice. shame about the servers, was looking forward to the story elements to the game

[frozen zodiac]

They have some "aggressive server upgrades" for late january. please look forward to it.

[rugged flicker]

What does it mean when there's a padlock symbol over a glamour cross icon?

[slate arrow]

dye locked

finish the role quest to unlock it

[rugged flicker]

They are locking dyes behind role quests?

[slate arrow]

you can't dye it until you finish the role quest

you can still glamour and dye the glamoured pieces as normal

its only for job gear

[rugged flicker]

Oh so.

Dying is no longer locked behind augmenttation?

[slate arrow]

or completely seperate gear drops yep

[leaden ginkgo]

how long does it usually take to release the post-exp patches? so 6.5?

[slate arrow]

6.5 is the last one

6.1 will be in about 3-4 months

[leaden ginkgo]

oh okay

[faint flare]

Major patches are usually 3-4 months apart

With expansions every 2 years (baring covid delays)

[visual sandal]

how long does it take to get 120 centurio seals

[sage mist]

When is the next level gear we'll need Alphorism tomes gonna drop?

[slate arrow]

depends on what you do to get said seals

[slate arrow]

the next tier of gear will be using a new tomestone

however you can buy materials to craft 580 gear with alphorism

*when the savage patch drops

[visual sandal]

i dont even know how you get the seals

or what it is

[slate arrow]

!faq hunts

[golden jewel]

you mean you get the materials in savage and can craft 580 gear with those via master recipes?

[sage mist]

ahhh so the Savage gear wont need tomes to get if you get it as a drop. But you can craft it if you use tomes?

[slate arrow]

no

[pulsar kiln]

Are we able to visit other data centers now with the endwalker dlc?

[sage mist]

lol oops i'm wrong

[slate arrow]

no, delayed until after 6.1

[visual sandal]

ok but assuming i do the usual stuff

how long would it take for 120 seals

[pulsar kiln]

Reeeee, thank you

[slate arrow]

just hunt bills is like 100 a week + 20 a day

[golden jewel]

[slate arrow]

[hollow flicker]

Sorry I know this is probably asked a lot but I didn't see it pinned anywhere, my friends are wanting to get into the game rn but didnt own the base game previously, just had free trials, and its saying they can't buy the base game at all, their only option on steam is to buy endwalker, but if they do that will they be allowed to play the game? Even though they've never pruchased realm reborn?

[slate arrow]

no you gotta buy starter to redeem endwalker

you literally cannot transfer to full service on steam rn

[hollow flicker]

Any news on when it'll be up?

I know this unprecedented but its unfortunate they want to try it because of the expansion but can't, lmao

[faint flare]

No

[glad pewter]

For low level whm, do I want to keep using cure after I get cure II? Freecure seems like a trap

[frozen zodiac]

"aggressive server upgrades" planned for late January.

[warped nest]

You are not wrong

[faint flare]

No, freecure is a trap

[golden jewel]

queues are a lot better already tho

[visual sandal]

how are wolf marks obtained

[warped nest]

PvP

[faint flare]

Pvp

[slate arrow]

doing PVP

[frozen zodiac]

They should move the feast to the guildhest queue and make a queue for rival wings.

[warped nest]

Cure II, while requiring more MP, and is not as heal/MP efficient as Cure, is your bread and butter heal spell now

[visual sandal]

uhhh

[warped nest]

As it is more heal per spell cast

[visual sandal]

how do you do pvp stuff then

[frozen zodiac]

unlock your job at level 30 and proceed to the wolves den pier via limsa lominsa

[warped nest]

Which means you can deal more damage spell

[slate arrow]

queue for it in duty finder after you unlock it at your grand company i believe

[warped nest]

The free cure trait, as you have noticed, is not very good

[boreal storm]

What’s the faq for pande drops?

[warped nest]

And becoming worse as you level up and gain even more healing spells and abilities

[visual sandal]

where tf is wolves den

[dire prawn]

If you haven't unlocked it at all but you do have your job stone there's a quest at your GC called 'A Pup No Longer' that unlocks the PvP area

[visual sandal]

ive already beaten EW i dont remember where that is

[dire prawn]

Then in Wolves' Den you can unlock the PvP modes and the Frontlines roulette

The entrance is in Moraby Drydocks

Lower La Noscea

[faint flare]

The teleport is under limsa section if you attuned

[dire prawn]

That too

[visual sandal]

uhhh

[fossil sentinel]

When Yoshi-P and the devs had server congestion issues in the summer similar to what’s going on now, did they just wait to let it subside or did they add new servers?

[topaz falcon]

Is there a Ideal time that a trial player can play? on CST

[visual sandal]

ok is 1k seals a lot?

[faint flare]

They upgraded the servers 3 times

[boreal storm]

Thx

[faint flare]

There's like 11 posts on this

On the lodestone since july

[dire prawn]

Alright

[narrow jay]

Probably from like two or three am to just shortly after noon I suspect.

[dire prawn]

I have questions about materia and melding

Firstly where do I go to trade Cracked Anthocluster for Materia X

[winged oyster]

Is there a way to stop your camera jerking when you cast on someone?

[faint flare]

Radz-a-hans materia vendor

Near the melder

[dire prawn]

Second question

[narrow jay]

Radz-at-Han, from the central aetheryte plaza, head up the merchant stalls on the right hallway, all the way to the end on the right

[dire prawn]

Is the higher substat on a piece of gear already capped?

[narrow jay]

yes

[faint flare]

Yes

[dire prawn]

So try and meld more of the second substat or meld a third stat?

[faint flare]

Yes

[golden jewel]

i was thinking to meld crit only on my warrior, is that a good idea at all

[faint flare]

You can't cause stat caps

You have to meld other stuff at points cause gear can only have so much

[golden jewel]

you mean for overmelding or in total?

[faint flare]

Total

!faq melding

[zinc orbit]

Materia & Melding FAQ

How do I unlock melding?

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

How can I get my gear melded?

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

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

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

Why is my meld giving +0 stats?

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

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

[golden jewel]

[terse kindle]

Hey, how are the queues on europe? Are they lower now?

[faint flare]

Still high

[golden jewel]

[terse kindle]

Want to rejoin the game but um afraid the queues are still bas

[faint flare]

Only abit lower due to Christmas

[terse kindle]

Bad

[dire prawn]

New question time

[golden jewel]

i got out around 8pm/20:00 yesterday and the queue was at 650 when i got back in, took 5 minutes

[terse kindle]

Whats high? How many players around 4pm for example?

[faint flare]

1.4k

At 5pm

[orchid forum]

Christmas day was bliss. Insta queue

[dire prawn]

If I'm 10 substat away from capping is it better to slap an IX materia and lose out on two stat or do I meld a different stat entirely

My Limbo Gloves of Aiming have 144 Det but can go to 154

[sudden mango]

Hey in 1hour of bozja doing fates non stop i only got 1 memory for my resistance weapon. is this normal ? is there something i can do to have a better drop rate (in bozja, i dont want to do HW fates)

[faint flare]

Meld something else

You want 10s/8s in all

[frozen zodiac]

yes

[visual sandal]

is there a way to get into a solo pvp instance w/ a training dummy or smth

[faint flare]

Wolves den has dummies

[vernal girder]

Hello! Is there a way to back up my ps4 hot bar layout and upload it to the pc version?

[dire prawn]

So slap a Heaven's Eye Materia X in for +36 DH instead of going for +8 Det because I assume I can't meld the IX version that's +12 since it'd overcap

[sudden mango]

so i need to farm ~60 hours for 1 step of resistance weapon ?

[faint flare]

Yes

[faint flare]

Cluster farm in bojza

Much better

Bojza fates aren't good for memories

[sudden mango]

sorry for the dumb question but i forgot what a cluster is

[faint flare]

What magitek drop

Bojzan clusters

[sudden mango]

i can buy memory with those ?

[limber hound]

no

But they randomly drop I guess

[faint flare]

Yes

[limber hound]

I'm not quite sure, I grinded HW area FATEs for that step

[faint flare]

EVERYTHING has a chance to.drop memories in bojza

And you can kill vastly more mobs at once in a party

Like 100 mobs in 5 seconds across the map

[limber hound]

speaking of which

Is there a list of must-have lost actions around

[faint flare]

Anything that increases your damage

[limber hound]

I'm still running around with lost cure 2 and some banner thing

[sudden mango]

oh right i will see if i can create a party for it

thanks a lot !

[faint flare]

Generic is Banner of Sacrifice/Noble ends and Font of Power/Magic

[limber hound]

I'm at the step where I get the memories from either CLL or crystal tower raids

so uh, 15 syrcuses it is
