Yep
ima stop crying and find a static then
That's the spirit
i like to complain its my french side ๐ผ
you can mess with the values on one and the other is sort of weird and uncustomizeable
idk why but this statement reminded me of a joke, which is weird because it directly contradicts the statement itself lol

whats the joke
I assume alexander is the one you customize more, but they essentially do the same thing?
If electricity always follows the path of least resistance, why doesn't lightning only strike in France?
Complaints can be seen as resistance, hence the contradiction lol
French revolution says wutface
They dont complain they just kill the king
Gentlemen, this is questions a Wendy's
is there somewhere i can go look for a static
This discord
Party finder
Reddit ff14 recruitment
Balance
Idk if chaos has a specific recruitment discord
has emph nodes always been a thing?
How to Unlock Bozja? Went to Rag and then it said I needed another Quest, Hail to the Queen but then that's not there either lol
time to dm people thx for help ๐ผ
Post in PF
Just to check: do you need to do the Stormblood alliance raid series still, and have you finished Shadowbringers?
I did the MSQ, I didn't do return to Ivalice yet but I thought the Queen Quest started that
No, it requires that
No return to ivalice is separate
Return to ivalice is the hella old alliance raid from SB
Bozja didnt come out til ShB
Otherwise plot holes, like how crystal tower alliance raids are needed for ShB
So I need to do Return to Ivalice then that opens up the Queen, is this some sort of side quest chain that carries over from expansion
Yes
will the savage raids have the same ilvl requirements?
Its a blue quest
No
i hope its not gonna be 580
https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Dramatis_Personae
Does that start Ivalice
Thats only for DF though. You dont need ilvl requirements with 8 person group
fr?
yes
but the issue will be finding a static thats ok with me being lower ilvl
That person is also not there nor is the Quest, is there a previous Quest Line lol
since i already got refused by 3 who told me they dont take new people to savage
๐น
Yeah that's the hard part
5 accessories from extreme, 2 main bodies from normal mode you just need to farm 3 pieces from tomes
why do they think playing as npcs is fun, ugh. hate msq
I mean...what is your ilvl?
it is not hard to get like 575 ilvl right now
extreme? which one?
566
if you were below 570 and wanted to do savage I'd refuse you too
Have you completed the Stormblood campaign, and if so, is the quest already listed in your log of completed quests.
like at least put forward the minimum effort lol
Do you have your ex2 weapon and ex1 accessories
i can get 575
I suggest you do extreme before savage.
2nd extreme gives weapon, first gives accessories
the hell is that ๐จ
take that as a no
your weapon from the second Extreme trial and the accessories from the first Extreme trial
it's fairly literal
There are two extremes currently available in the game. The first one drops accessories, the second drops weapons.
oh i didnt unlock the extreme trials
so i didnt know what u were talking abt
so i can farm them
ok ima do that then
Yeah the parties might be bad rn tho
The "first" and "second" are for their MSQ order
The later you delay doing stuff the worst the players get
Because all the good players finish farming and dont touch it anymore
well i mean, not only that but like
if the goal is savage
the very minimum you can do is achieve a respectable ilvl for it
can you apply glamours at idyllishire?
like if you aren't able to get the i580 stuff from ex1 and ex2, what makes a static think you can clear p1s
Unless you are extreme high parser
1st floor usually is ok to be below ilvl
2nd floor is ehhh
3rd is when it starts to get dicey
That said not a lot of people aim to clear week 1
Any zone that has no chance of combat I believe is safe for glamour plates
They usually suppliment damage with slowly increasing ilvl won from lower floors and tome gear
Also you guys said savage is 580?
I might not even get there next week oof
I'm like 577 I think, still need head piece, body piece and replace tome ring
savage should be 575
i believe
i dont think it'd be 580, that'd make it impossible to enter day 1 without crafted
575 would be full extreme gear + 2 nm raid pieces
I feel like in general it's
skill speed to comfort > critical hit > direct hit > determination, someone correct me if I'm wrong
Savage day 1 min ilvl is all tome gear
we don't talk about tenacity
Oh so 570 then
Same as it was for e1s
I meld crit as primary and tenacity as secondary ๐
never meld tenacity
so its actually 570 or 580?๐ค
k thx
570
last two floors should require 580
Also. Is there a way to BLU cheese "What Dreams Are Made Of"? I'm assuming there is
Tome gear rn is 570
okay this makes more sense thank you
is there a FC cooldown?
can just look at the previous savage's ilvl requirements
oh
It was 445
eden's gate was 440 > 445 > 450
440-445-450-450
On track for Bozja, ty everyone
wish i could justify joining a static but i can't reliably make any hours 
Our static has to run a very non-static schedule due to work conflicts with some members lmao
Just try to decide a few weeks in advance "okay this week we go Monday and Thursday, next week we do Tuesday and Thursday, the week after Saturday and Sunday"
using party finder is a viable way to do savage
i have friends who pug the whole tier
absolutely, which is exactly what i'm going to have to do 
you may or may not want to tear your hair out by the end of the tier
but it's doable
is there a good way to trck fates, im looking to do the odin and ixion ones
Join a discord like Centurio Hunts
thyanks
Any idea where can I find an outfield GC officer in La Noscea?
a what now
What are hunt trains and how do I join one ?
find your server's hunt discord or join an in-game linkshell
hunt trains are an event where a ton of people go around nuking all the A-ranks
for hunts
Cool how I do that and wats a linkshell
for this reason most people generally do not touch A-rank marks and instead let the hunt trains take over
are you level 90?
Yea I have half my jobs at 90
most of the time, people doing hunt trains are max level and doing it for materia/tomes
I need both those things lol
find your server's hunt discord
i'm sure someone from primal will link it any minute now
Can I Google that ?
maybe
you can try
you could also hang around in the EW zones and shout for an invite to a hunt linkshell
extreme trials are fun ๐ผ
what are the extreme trials i need to farm for 570 gear?
no exs drop 570 gear
oh
ofc
you should absolutely know what ex1 and ex2 refer to then
oh so its just the 1st and 2nd?
Best food for DPS/Monk?
will change next week when new food comes out
how do I know if a piece of gear is dyable or otherwise
current bis uses coconut cod chowder but again it will change next week
!faq dyeicons
thanks!
If I own the game on Ps4, can I buy a PC license or would I have to rebuy that and all the DLC packs too
Why did they design it that way
We say ex1 and ex2 cuz for obvious reasons the name and order of the fights are MASSIVE FUCKING SPOILERS
i.e. you need complete ed.
oh yeah i see
Does this also extend to the Ps5 edition when I upgrade? Or is that free
ps5 and ps4 edition is essentially the same
Maintaining all this shit across multiple platforms isn't exactly free
FF14 parse logs
Sure, but rebuying a game I already own on one platform and all the expansions is a bit extreme
oh so since i didnt do any savage fights i dont have any logs
Right
time to beg people ๐ผ
You can still see if anyone uploaded your logs
how
More importantly, are existing subscribers able to buy it on other platforms right now?
But I mean it's a very limited sample
If you click it you can see what details are and what fight it was
so i was 3rd dps
and the other reaper with me
had an entire million
over me
i am outclassed
๐
๐
It's the only one someone uploaded
how can i upload mine
Are you on pc
yeah
The website should have a FAQ for it
I mean while dps is important, being smart enough to actually learn new mechanics quickly is also important
yeah but people would rather have both
i don't mean to put you down or anything but
so ima just see if i can get better
right but it's also everyone else's first try these few weeks
and i wasnt used to the new level 90
Is there a reliable way to get white scripts as fisher via collectables?
It's also not indicative of your true ability
Since it isn't a collection of logs, just one-off, it's hard to gauge
especially if it's your first time clearing said content
yeah but i went in like a dumbass because i didnt know how the 90 skills of reaper works
and i was absolutely lost
with all the buttons
I just hit level 20 and finished my first dungeon, can i unlock a mount yet?
the less time you spend confused about mechanics, the more dps you can do
my suggestion is start by parsing yourself on a training dummy
I had a couple uploaded during my ex1 farms uploaded as a ps4 player and it's just hard to ascertain which run that was, if I died, and how I can improve
well the thing is during the raid
you should at least be able to do a perfect rotation on a dummy
you would indeed want to work on improving this sort of stuff before looking at savage
time to farm some logs
it's significantly better to be confused about mechanics, than to be confused about both mechanics AND your rotation
if you're having to stop constantly to look at your abilities and go "hmm what do i need to press", it means you're doing less DPS and you're more likely to step in something
i wonder if reaper has an updated xivanalysis page
yeah my first parses in each of the lv90 duties were all greens or grays
improving gear, learning the fights, and just doing them over and over got them up to purples and oranges
i was doing that the whole fight
I mean considering my ex1 trials were grey, doing green in these also limited parses is an improvement
but now i learned the rotations so ima try again and get the logs
The most important thing is to never stop doing something
yes but i constantly stopped because i was lost about the new skills when u get into the posessed thing
Whether it's a ranged attack or your combo because you're utterly lost, doing something is always better than nothing
Exceptions apply ofc
well, here's my strong suggestion
be able to do a perfect rotation on a dummy
before you go and try to parse
I do agree that this should be the goal
with 0 mistakes
Do the training dummy areas matter at all
several times in a row
i sometimes do an aoe attack under the possesed thing but happends once every 5 times
that should be once every 0 times
when i learn new classes my goal is to be able to go 10 minutes on the dummy with 0 mistakes
if you make a mistake every 5 rotations, then think about how often that mistake happens during a savage
yeah, your fights are going to be lasting 8-10 minutes, if you can't do your rotation in a sterile environment for that long, you ain't gonna get amazing results trying to do it when you have relatively tough mechanics
when you're pulling the boss dozens of times before your clear
that one mistake every 5 rotations ends up being over 100 mistakes
for 20 pulls
also i don't think the dummies themselves matter
Yeah but how do you memorize a rotation ๐ค
by doing it
Would be nice if they had an ingame parse
i mean rotations for reaper isn't that hard to get
not every one
every positional, 0 downtime, everything used on CD
well if you can't hit every positional on a dummy, how are you gonna hit them all on a boss
cd is used 0 downtime but my positionals are trash
By having the bosses be omnidirectional 
just food for thought is all
if you're comfortable on a dummy then it's not a bad idea to just spam the normals and practice
the mechanics in normal are hints to what they'll be in savage after all
Yes, much worse
Also remember that you can't use fflog data to harass or bully players, no matter how bad they are
Bannable offense and such
well yeah i know
Just saying before you get all zealous in your quest for x parse
im not gonna flame when i just got a fucking 2 out of 100....
what materia can I meld?
๐
Not yet ๐
None of it, you need a crafter
no i thought i was ok at reaper and that 2 out of 100 just humbled me ๐
crafter?
Nah, the 2 is likely an outlier unless you were tanking the floor
well, deaths and mistakes contribute to that a lot
You need a DoH with a high enough level to meld
do wipes count?
the number means what percentile of all reapers in the past 2 weeks you compare to
wipes do not
I do have crafters at lvl 50+ and have melded before
so for that fight, for the past 2 weeks, you were in the bottom 2% of all reapers who cleared
and yeah of course deaths and stuff count
stop... it hurts to hear....
๐

but know that there are people out there who parse that low despite having no deaths
you certainly will not be that low if you do the whole fight, don't die, and just keep uptime on the boss
I mean, you should be able to select it and then your materia, but I think only tier 1 at that low equipment
@uncut quarry
dying means you lose all your resources, lose all the time you spent dead, and you have the 25% debuff the entire time
oh yeah i need to use materia too
it's a massive dps loss
And is 1 crit point really worth it?
the logs that really matter are the ones where you don't make any giant glaring mistakes (i.e. dying or taking damage downs)
And you put that on your resume and join a static
and also how often you have logs where you make giant mistakes
consistency is usually stronger than one high parse
right, ty
if you have 20 parses and 19 of them you die and parse gray but you have a 95 in that one fight
idk that's scratchy
Also you can look at your parse log and copy the link over to see exactly what you're doing wrong
but then if you've got 19 logs of you doing 75-80 and then one where you die and go gray
that looks really good
i checked, reaper isn't up to date
So what should I do to finish the quest? I tried talking to a materia melder aswell but can't seem to meld it
sadly
for that fight i already know what i did wrong i need to retry and see new logs
Buy the right materia and meld that
No, the analysis website actually breaks it down
which would that be? How do I tell?
well, right now it does not break it down
Like if you thought the percentile number here was bad
reaper isn't supported
Really? Sucks to not be a gunbreaker then
Oh
You can still run the analysis to get a gist
Gunbreaker isn't supported either kek
Oh nvm got it I can only meld tier I materia i think
Right lol, like I said
Is there a reliable way to get white scripts as fisher via collectables?
I would paste your log data into the analysis and see what it's telling you
how do i dl the log
use fflogs uploader
wait ima set up the whole thing then use the website
this is the tool you use to upload logs
it's not the same tool as you'd use to parse
nice false positive windows defender ๐น
ye took me a sec to figure out xD
the mini parse is just a tiny window that just shows your raid's parse numbers
if you don't want the full parse window for some reason
idk i don't use it
ooohhh
it's extremely popular so people camp its spawn
iirc you need two clears to get the mount
Itโs per instance too, meaning itโs possible to get both clears in a like a day
Server hopping is still a crap shoot
Depending on how the timers lined up
i got it today lmao
it was my last zone
that i forgot to do
lucky me
how
that works
since there are 3 instances
if you are lucky
chi spawns in at least 2 of those 3 instances and you can just kill it twice
ok so i kill it and change instance asap
No
well, yes, but also the respawn is a few days
If the timers lined up
you may not see it spawn in the same day
Which they probably wonโt
is there a way to keep track of it?
Centurio hunts discord
use the training courses to tailor your squadron stats to match the mission requirements
can I get a ranking of all the extreme trials from shadowbringers by difficulty during release?
Sos >>>>>>>>> is everything else
the other trainings can be done as much as you want to fine tune your stats
yes it lowers other stats
which is why I said to fine tune
if you clearly have a surplus in one stat, redistribute it to cover your weaker stat
for the flagged missions, you have to meet all 3 stat requirements
is someone trying to yeet me out? im at the location of chi and someone keeps offering me teleportations offers
What is the name of the base game required to be bought to play the game? Is it Shadowbringers?
well you have 8 squadron slots
Starter edition
Or complete
if you're specifically looking to do a certain mission then you know exactly what stats you need to get to
Neither can be bought at the time
literally any time someone else teleports, you get that message
are you new to the game? these things are pretty basic
if you're in the same party as someone else, and they teleport, you're offered the same teleport for free
assuming you aren't currently busy

well the flagged missions are one-off missions
once you do them you don't have to worry about them anymore
yeah im kinda new
then you can just tailor your stats to the weekly missions that give books/scrolls and shit
It's a decent enough story
skipping story also means you have significantly less hours in this game compared to someone who didn't skip
so just be aware that most people at your level are going to be way more experienced
The story is good though. 
It's got a lot of valleys
they not that experienced
I mean that's your loss really
well, for most missions 2/3 stats is a 66% chance success rate
i just went throught it like a maniac skipping every cinematic as fast as i could
for the flagged missions you have to have all 3 stats or else it's 0%
personally I just eat the 66% on the endgame missions
i don't really spec anymore
Although I do wish they could give us the option of skipping the cutscenes in Praetorium.
i'm sure there's probably a way to get 100% on all the "good" endgame missions
like the ones that give MGP or GC seal buffs
or extends your food
but idk i'm fine with 66% and just rerunning if it fails
i mean i dont care about msq at all lol im not a story type of guy
just wanted to get where i am now the fastest
the raids and getting better is what i find fun
Well its added due people skipping it and make first timer locked cutscene after cutscene after cutscene or so i heard
Fair enough
Iirc Latest interview say Yoshi already planning to rework it. Maybe we can see trust CM and prae ig or duty(?)
i only got interested when it got to endwalker
but im too lazy to look for the entire context
Don't even wanna run my msq roulettes because of Praetorium.
i only watched the cutscenes that i found cool
isnt that the only one ?
There's supposedly one other one.
true
What is the best way to get lv 80+ accessories? I dont think I have the vendor for lv 90 tomestones unlocked yet. I need a bit more iLevel for the last EW quest
Dungeons
u dont really need ilvl since u get the free gear no?
Im wearing the lv88 items from free gear on left side, but my right side is lv 80 stuff
Also you can run leveling dungeons until you get accessories
Do you know what the set name is?
It's unique to every job
Its AF gear
It's artifact gear
You had an entire cutscene outside the shop
Tataru explicitly told you had gear for you
Some ppl skip them and don't know what's going on
y-yeah das me ๐
I don't think you can skip that one, but I'm not sure
You were also told this outside the cutscene
Some ppl also don't read dialogue and just click thru it lol
So I can get these items from a shop?
Thank you!! 
not sure if this is the right place but is there somewhere i can report in game harrassment? i have screenshots. sorry if this isnt the right place im newish
system -> support desk
ty
any change to ARR relic after 6.0 update ?
nope, it's already easier than it was current
but its still the worst relic to grind
then don't do it
Does any of the left side gear increase average item level more than the right side if both are of same level?
it's just cosmetic
still the worst
Just do anima itโs so much easier
Is it still possible to do Dalriada or am I out of luck
im learning so much stuff in a single day since i decided to raid on the current content
a lot of info
what is currently BIS for crafters
sorry if im just living under a rock but have there been any updates on the sales embargo?
no.
You only really need 2
90 crafted gear
You're kidding. no way
2 people can clear dal
1 is impossible but 2 is doable
Which reminds me I need to get around to soloing dr
Can someone tell me if there's a Shire aiming weapon similar to the Ironworks one, and if yes, where can I get it?
yes
Idyllshire
the NPC about 5 steps to the right of the gear vendor
in idyllshire
or ishgard's splendors NPC
one of the options should mention Shire Equipment
Anyone knows if Tamamo Gozen is up on any worlds in Crystal?
if it's not that NPC then check the one to the left
you can just use ishgard's splendor vendor in the future
that vendor sells all the poetics gear for HW
Ah, gotcha, I kind of forgot they exist
but while we are it, does the one in Kugane sell Scavean gear?
normally there are two NPCs, one for armor and one for weapons
yo, I have the exact same thing as kaiyoko's fashion report thingy for 80pts but I'm only getting 46 :/
any1 know why?
then it is not exact lol
Do DRG skills create enmity at all ?
its not exact, you don't have something equipped in every slot
all abilities that do damage create enmity but they don't get an enmity mulitplier like tanks do with tank stance on

is there aqny info on skills and enmity score? or are all considered equal ?
more damage = more enmity
thnx<3
all damaging and healing actions create enmity
tanks have increased enmity generated on their skills when they have tank stance on
you can sorta gauge DPS by looking at how much enmity each DPS has
higher enmity = higher dps
k
not really a good or accurate gauge
Enmity is purely based on damage dealt. The "tank stance" skill for each tank class multiplies that enmity by a factor of ten.
ya its only personal damage too
if a DPS is ripping enmity from a tank, then the tank is bad
that should noit happen
or heavily heavily undergeared
hopefully ๐
IE: in satasha, a red mage can rip enmity if they cast ver spells
cause thats 500+ potency
in like 2.5 seconds
also happened a lot @ level 90 in endwalker dungeons with summoner change
so huge bursts dps can spike enmity
if you bahamut ads
yep
k
but thats assuming tank has only hit each ad once
after 2-3 gcds, a tank shouldn't ever lose threat
Can someone clarify this to me. Excog duration is 45 seconds and during that, whenever the HP falls below 50%, it wil restore HP by 800 potency. Is this a reccuring effect that stays the whole 45 seconds or is a one time only and then wears off?
one time and wears off
oof
if gear has more materia on it the faster it spiritbonds??
yes
how do i put down a location marker on the map?
cntrl + right click and then it'll also paste the coords into chat
thx so much! <3
whats the difference between registered and free destination?
Most of my new Allegory gear won't seem to spiritbond, does it just take really long or does new gear do that?
free = 0 cost, favored = reduced cost
You only gain spiritbond if you do content that's the same level or higher than your current gear.
So if you're running roulettes and end up in Level 70 dungeons, you won't get spiritbond.
So I made a mistake and reset my 60 sch retainer thinking I could turn it into a dancer. What are correct steps to get a dancer retainer?
can a lvl 50 disciple of the hand mend for me
can i constantly change which one is free or favored
Have Dancer unlocked for your character.
I main dancer which is why I wanted to swap it.
yes, you can change them whenever you like
you didn't make a mistake, that's how you have to do it
you have to reset your retainer
your retainer starts at level 1 when you want to change classes
going from job to job requires a reset
the only way around that is to buy the retainer job skip for money
Oh I see. That's annoying but okay time to do it again
i would have just kept them scholar
it doesn't really matter what class the retainer is in the end
i guess you'd have to level scholar to keep up, that'd be all
but it's not hard to level two classes at once
unless you really care about your retainer's glam and want them to wear dancer gear
hey all, I was wondering if anyone would group up with me for a bit. I am currently a level 82 summoner but can play tank or healer if needed. Recently a group I was in kept telling me I am shit at tanking and healing and no wont even respond to me when I ask them to watch me as a summoner. I need an outside opinion on if I am capable or just shit as each role. I am on primal datacenter, exodus server.
so this is bizarre - I just unlokced my oath gauge and it isn't displaying. I can't even move it around unless I put it in simple mode and it doesn't display no matter what mode I Put it in or where on the screen I set it
has anyone seen this before?
what exp is Centurio Seal from?
Question for a debate. Does Melee Limit Break do more damage than Range/Caster Limit Break on a single target?
yes
!faq limitbreak
Resources by Allagan Studies
Limit Break Explained
Shadowbringers Limit Break Video
ranged/caster is more dmg on 2+ targets
Full info here
how do i check how many bicolored gems i have?
is this even the right channel to ask for help with seeing if I am any good at a role?
in the shared fate menu
under the travel section iirc
Are you keeping aggro and using mitigation as a tank?
thx!
yeah I am
Then youโre good
I like to think I am but i am CONSTEANTLY being told I am shit
Did they change how summoner's work? I'm reading the skills and not quite understanding, I can only summon carbuncle now? And then I get some charge to summon the other summons?
Can I still reskin them then? Like skin ifrit to ruby carbuncle etc?
Aethercharge
I dont know if its just them being an asshole and treating me like shit, or if I really AM bad at it.
Can someone that plays on PS4 or PS5 please DM me Iโm struggling with the download
Can I still reskin/resize the carbuncle?
yes that's roughly how it works, only base carbuncle is your summon, and you temporarily summon other summons to do big attacks and change some buttons for you, and yes you can glamour egis and base carbuncle into other carbuncle or egis
Summoner is more fluid now and easier to play, you almost ALWAYS have a summoned beast out
You canโt buy the game right now
type /? with /petglamour and with /petsize to find the arguments and stuff
Thank you. was just about to ask
petsize doesn't work on carbuncle though, only on the demis and the new full primal forms
it never worked on carbuncles/egis
in here or in game? i tried /? in game and says invalid argument
you use it like /? /petsize
ohhh
and it'll list all the /petsize option
Seems like emerald carbuncle glam doesn't change the carbuncle color? Still stays blue
the carbuncle you have summoned all the time is an unattuned carbie
when you summon Garuda-Egi, you will instead summon Emerald Carbuncle
that is what that means
eventhough i did /petglamour "carbuncle" "emerald carbuncle"?
it change the base carbuncle to red and yellow when i did "ruby" and "topaz" though
emerald just shows up the regular blue
any fellow omni crafters here rn that can dm me? have questions that i donโt wanna spam chat with, thanks!
Because you glammed emerald as the normal one?
Can i get my job gear back? like lv 60 or 50 if i discarded it?
Is it? maybe i'm color blind. lololol
I can see how you might think it would be blue
Mind to explain how?
50, 70 calamity salvager
60 clan centurio in Ishgard
80,90 the original vendors
when savage drops, there will be new gear right? How does it work, you buy the recipes with white scrips? Any clue which materials will be needed, or are all of them new materials that will drop at the same time?
kk thanks
aether compass is gone too?
Duty > collection

It's a skill now instead of an item, because people kept throwing it away.
any way to know if a FATE is soloable or not (without having to engage the mmob and possibly die) ?
if you have a healing chocobo, it's likely soloable
only the big fates aren't, and those have a special music
oh the music cue right ! thx for reminding me
like Cancer in eastern la noscea or the Manticore in North than for the old ones
aaand fuck it has boss music : o
which FATE is it?
oh yeah
yeah also if it has an achievement
it's a big fate
you can try asking in novice chat and such for help, usually they're doable with 3-4ppl if not scaled up
probably 2 is enough if the timer isn't too low
will the new gear sets be craftable by full penta melded Aesthete's gear?
thx pyros, didnt manage to motivate a single soul though... better luck next time ^^
what's your stats?
I don't remmeber aestete stats but iirc it's pretty far off
actually found a full party, it's on ! new year's miracle
Does radiant finale stack with the active song buff ?
yeah iโm thinking it wonโt be enough
do you have 3000 control?
I guess you'd get around that melded but that's barely enough to make orchestrion rolls which aren't even 1 star
and then you'd likely need a high craftsmanship too and old melds were usually pretty low on that
unmelded 90 is 3100+ so you'd likely need 3200 craftsmanship or so
Craftsmanship: 2821 Control: 2738 so probably not
iโll just meld the new current BiS
yeah no you can't even make the orchestrion rolls currently available
so there's no way you're making the 1star stuff
So
unmelded 90 is 3100 2950 or so, and it's gonna require at least some melds to reach the needed stats
Yes
So I'm looking at Pearl White Dye, and I have 1'602 skybuilders' scrips. How did I go about getting that a year ago, is it from turning in Ishgard Restoration collectibles? Is 500 scrips a lot for a single dye?
if you do fetes, four tokens = one dye
hmmmm
much cheaper that way imo
it's not that many but still a fair bit, and yes you can get them from collectibles, and also fetes when they're up
Special fates that spawn in the Firmament every so often
they'll have a special timer on the duty info part of your UI when you're in the Firmament
fetes are like every 3 days, series of fates every 2hours for a day that give a bunch of scrips and some tickets to buy some stuff
displaying when they occur
well 3days or 2days I forgot
I think they go every 2 hours for a day, then are gone for 2.5 days
so the fetes sequence occurs 24 times a week, in chunks of 12 spread across a day
well there's not much to it besides that, you just go there, do a few minigames and collect your free stuff
^^
just need to be up
Spoilersish early shadowbringers: ||I'm currently in eulmore the first time, and I'm trying to level a tank while I wait for the people I msq with. If I leave to do beast tribe quests how do I get back in?||
||Kholusia entrance you took to originally get in||
Any fireworks in ff at 12? :o
I guess more specifically, to give you a ping with a consolidated answer:
Every two hours, the special Firmament Fates - named "fรชtes" in game - last for half an hour, and contain a small sequence of minigames with rewards. This happens twelve times, over the span of a day. The fรชtes then don't appear for 60 hours (2.5 days), and then the cycle repeats. These minigames can be anything from delivering presents to interacting with animals to mirroring emotes... super simple stuff.
Hopefully that's as simple an answer as possible for you to see when you get back from your dungeon. ^-^
does anyone know how the healer's set can be obtained? i got a lot of pieces but i have no idea how lmao
its not a quest reward
that's a very broad question... the healers set for/from what?
is it risky to use simple tweaks or is it on the same level as ACT?
the level 45 set?
yes
You got it from your job quest then
It's fine
the 45 robe is obtained as a reward from the 50 quest... for some reason
it is a quest reward, because its gotten from the quest
ok thanks :)
is there a guide for powerleveling fisher? I have 100 leves to burn on it if needed
just do fishing boat and you'll be fine tbh
is it a drop??
no
it's gained when interacting with something during the quest
you do the lvl 45 white mage job quest
each piece from a different interaction
head, hands, legs, feet
body for that set comes from 50 quest, alongside the 50 gear
(feels useless to do, but whatever)
the lv50 coffer was not originally part of the reward
it was added later to make ARR smoother for new players
makes sense
||lmao am i wearing a towa cants clothes||
im doing my best trying to dps but i can't even reach 6k on a striking dummy even though i dont miss anything
is there something im missing?
possibly food
Food potions
whats the regular dps without all of that?
that's what we call a blended meal
Dummy dps will never meet raid dps
whats like a "good" dps on a dummy then
unless your entire group just says "fuck that dummy in particular"
best i got is a 5,9k and from what i see in analysis i didnt miss a single thing
Dummies are best used to practice the rotation itself, not necessarily monitor damage
oh i thought they good for damage too
they assume no need to follow mechanics
so to see damage i need to go in raid directly?
which automatically will skew results
if you wanna monitor your damage, at least for right now, go run the normals a few times each
see where you average
Hey guys so I just got done with ARR. Should I use my poetics or save them up?
that 2 out of 100 killed my confidence ๐
use them if u got too much or if u need gear
there is absolutely no need to save poetics
and if u got too much get gear for a job ur maybe gonna level later
its given out like candy
very good candy
so use it to buy ironworks
Alright thank you
if you wanna experience content without inflated stats from picking up gear that was BiS for a given expansion, buy the gear that's helpful for a different job and save it for a rainy day
otherwise, grab the poetics gear - in this case, Augmented Ironworks
it'll last you until roughly halfway through Heavensward
what do the blue arrows mean?
admittedly don't know what we're looking at so I couldn't tell you
its from the analytics
and i didnt find how to screenshoot only 1 screen out of the 2
๐น
I don't really know what "the analytics" means as whatever this is I've never used
but sure
for the third time, I have no idea what this is
so asking that question seems moot
hum ok mb just someone told me i could use it so i thought it was common
I mean, that may still be true
it's just that I specifically do not know what it is lol
Probably the timings of them?
thats what i thought at the start maybe
Whatโs this weeks fashion report?
Use the command
Questions:
Where is the Firmament? I've completely forgotten what or where that is. Obviously it's in Heavensward.
Is there a timer or something somewhere that lets me know when the fate-chains are going to start happening? Like, how do I know if they're happening today, or they will happen tomorrow, ect.
other than hunt trains, how can I farm X materias? (or the clusters that can be exchanged for them)
main aetheryte in ishgard will have an option
Go to foundation, interact with aetheryte, warp there
Ty.
I take it, it's in the gathering area not the crafting area, right?
Diadem is gathering
Firmament is the crafting area; Diadem is the gathering area
Theyโre the same place tho
basically, yes
there's way to do roulettes or dungeons with soulbound gear but i don't know this method exactly
There's an npc in a stall to enter the diadem
You could technically just farm the current EXs in melded gear and extract every so often once it caps out
Else: run leveling/alliance as adventurer in need (it's pretty much permanently tank so far)
Leveling and alliance roulettes give clusters
Okay, thank you.
The last question, is there any way to know if the fate chain is occurring today/tomorrow/following day ect? how do I know when it's on cooldown.
Also, does it involve crafting? I have yet to relearn all the crafting stuff since I've been gone over a year
That doesn't help. How do I know the fates are going to occur on that day in the firmament?
I now know WHERE they are
You can see the timer once inside the firmament
wait how does that work? do I get random materias in my gear (if its not full) if its spiritbond in EXs?
Itโs spiribond, get to 100% get a random materia in your inventory
Itโs been done since like 5.5
Ah
should i go for purple script crafter and gatherer gear or is the lvl90 HQ stuff just better with overmelds etc? 
Also, these Fetes do they require crafting?
No
ok
melded gear is always better
You can go with lv 1 dol/doh
no, fetes are basically like mini fates of sorts
Neat
I'll have to touch on these then, in 1 hour it seems
they're a mix of "simon says" and "deliver x to y"
is fishing worth it if you want to desynthsize fish for getting gold pieces
like is it reasonably worth the effort. i want money fast, you see
No
You get fine sand like 99.9% of the time
yeah and the gold is always just 100g
i think i got a materia sometimes tho with really high level fishies
you'd probably make more money selling the fish to people cheating on GC dailies
or even just to an NPC tbh

Do you need to repeat the quest to collect memory of the dying if you want to get the relic weapon for different job?
after EW credits, is the only way to have ilvl 560 accesories to farm lvl 90 dungeons?
Yes
Thank you
Any higher is tomes or ex
tomes and ex, which ilvl give?
570 and 580 respectively
do we know what's gonna be the ilvl to enter savages, and which ilvl gear will they drop?
i think they drop 600 gear and guessing 570/575 as for the ilvl requirement (not sure on that)
570-580
Also followup: For how long will that IL 600 be relevant, so to speak? Cause 570/580 really went by fast so to speak
Ah cool, that's nice then.
580 is the loot ilvl?
Expansion launch is the only time they delay savage
Savage drops 600
With 605 weapons
ah okay knew that right then
if ilvl to enter savage is more than 570, the only way to get it will be to clear extremes before?
No
IIRC crafted gear will be higher? But unsure
Tome gear, crafted gear, normal mode weekly lock gear, 590 capped.tome
you can clear normal raids for 580 gear
isn't tome gear 570 ilvl?
what is capped tomes?
those will be capped to 450/week right?
Yes
It's literally revelation tomes
basically limited gain per week
From shadowbringers
Disregarding specifics, what's the least annoying way of going about it? Like for someone that doesn't play every day and min/maxes? Let's say you log in once a week for a while, you'd have like no way of farming certain stuff. Some go for certain types of left/right side gear, no? For minimal headache.
is another currency?
Yes
It's the capped tomes
like revelations
Like we always have
yes
I've been little time in endgame, dont quite know how end-game stuff gets during patches
It works all the same everytime
