questions-and-help

[urban pewter]

gotcha, ty so much for info

[frozen zodiac]

you can go in, but no loot will drop

[forest sage]

some loot will drop, it depends on how many ppl have cleared

[frozen zodiac]

minimum is 4 unleared

unless they changed it in the patch notes tomorrow and all my friend's prep work with their alts was for naught

[urban pewter]

so in theory if you just remake parties with people whov'e never cleared you could still loot stuff?

Or your character is loot locked?

[slate arrow]

!faq savageloot

[zinc orbit]

What floors of savage drop which items?

Per tier:
First floor: (Belt/Earring/Necklace/Bracelet/Ring) x3
Second floor: (Head/Gloves/Boots) x2 + Weapon Tomestone + Tomestone Accessory upgrade
Third floor: Head/Gloves/Boots + Legs + Tomestone Armor upgrade + Tomestone Weapon upgrade
Fourth floor: Weapon + Chest + Random single weapon + Mount + Minion

Loot Rules: Following each weekly reset, every player has a chance to obtain loot from the Savage encounters of the current raid tier. Upon clearing each floor, you will obtain 1 book specific to that fight (e.g. Book of Anamorphosis) and a chance to roll on the loot from that floor. Regardless of if you obtained loot from your weekly clear, you will be barred from rolling on loot from the same encounter until the next weekly reset.

Entering an encounter before clearing the previous floor(s) will relinquish all rewards from previously uncleared floors. (e.g. Entering E12S before clearing E9S for the week will relinquish loot from E9S, E10S, and E11S.) You will lose a chance to earn a book and your chance to roll on any loot that drops that week.

The number of players in your party that have cleared/skipped the encounter for the week will also affect the loot you will get after clearing the encounter.
0 players cleared: 2 chests
1-4 players cleared: 1 chest
5-8 players cleared: 0 chests

[frozen zodiac]

the way understand it is that the lootlocking is the drops at the clear. So 8 people who haven't cleared get 2 coffers, 4-7 people who haven't cleared get 1 coffer, and 3 or less people who haven't cleared get 0 coffers

[obsidian patio]

You only get to loot from your first clear per fight per week

[urban pewter]

ah okay

I haven't seen any parties for this at all in party finder

Is it just a diuty once you unlock?

[obsidian patio]

It’s not out yet

[urban pewter]

I seen a dude with 580 pants tho

Where do you get those at?

[modest igloo]

the normal raid

that came out two weeks ago

[true jolt]

savage drop ilvl600

[cursive ridge]

are the two boss super fates of EW visible on the map when up?

[urban pewter]

Ah okay, normal which is out now is 580

and savage is 600

[frozen zodiac]

yes?

[urban pewter]

Ohhhh... it is just a dity finder thing

[true jolt]

idk why you put "?" but incase you unsure i think he/she ask if the fate is like odin where you need to find it manually rather than opening map then check if its up like behemoth

[urban pewter]

Awesome

[frozen zodiac]

They only spawn every three days, I remember seeing dave fate and don't remember seeing the chi fate, memory is an imperfect thing

[true jolt]

keep in mind majority (i mean like almost all of people) wont use duty finder for savage. We use party finder instead

Exception is JP data center where people usually use DF after you clear it once

[urban pewter]

Gotcha, i assumed savage would be akin to heroic in wow, to where, there is no dity finder and it's only party finder.

However, tuesday, crafted 580 gear comes out?

[modest igloo]

yep

[urban pewter]

So i'd honestly be better off, just researching the fights, buying a full set of 580 and progressing that way?

[modest igloo]

that is one way to do it yeah

[frozen zodiac]

the crafted 580 gear is not uniformily bis for every class, please do your research on your stat priorities

[modest igloo]

well yeah, the 580 crafted wont ever be bis

[urban pewter]

Ahhh, due to the mainstat right?

[modest igloo]

bc its not gonna be ilvl 600 lol

[frozen zodiac]

sometimes it is, sometimes it even beats the savage gear

[modest igloo]

full crafted is what people who clear the tier first use

[true jolt]

mainstat (vitality, strength, dex, mind, int) on same ilvl is always same

but the substat like crit , dhit, det etc can be different thus resulting some gear is slightly better than other although same ilvl

so the normal raid gear can beat the crafted gear (same ilvl580) if the crafted gear is having "meh subtat" distribution

[modest igloo]

so its still pretty good

[modest igloo]

we dont talk about healer 5.4 bis ok

[frozen zodiac]

tank gear in the shiva tier of eden you say?

[modest igloo]

[true jolt]

what happened on 5.4 healer bis?

[modest igloo]

the crafted ring, which was ilvl 510, was better than the raid ring iirc

bc the substats were so garbage

like piety sps and you already had enough sps

from other gear

[true jolt]

oh wow ahaha. thanks for the info

[urban pewter]

WAit, so how's this wor? i did pande first floor and got a chest piece thing? What do i do with it?

[true jolt]

you collect numer of them then trade it at radz-at-han? (forgot how the spell lmao)

[modest igloo]

nah you got it right

[true jolt]

head, glove and shoes need only 2 token
chest and leg need 4 token
acc need 1 token per acc

[urban pewter]

ahhhh, i see i see

Tyvm

[true jolt]

keep in mind you only got 1 token per floor per week

[urban pewter]

so normal drops fragments of the gear, and savage drops the gear flat out?

[true jolt]

uhh, yes but savage drop more

[frozen zodiac]

savage drops all sorts of goodies

[urban pewter]

ahh okay

Right on

[modest igloo]

also a book as well that works as a token, but theres only a few pieces of gear per floor

[forest sage]

but savage loot isn't guaranteed unlike normal tokens besides the book, like every week you can get either 1body/leg or 2 helm/gloves/boots from normal, guaranteed, but savage you could be getting nothing several weeks in a row besides books, which still take 4-8weeks to buy gear with

[urban pewter]

Hmm, i should went for glove/shoe then if it onl;y need 2 tokens

Shit.

Coulda got 2 pieces instead of just 1 and a chest token

RiP

[forest sage]

you can get the rest next week

[true jolt]

gear strength wise, that 1 piece of chest give a lot of more stat than 1 piece of helmet

[forest sage]

which is tomorrow btw, weekly reset is tuesday

[urban pewter]

Right, so i gotta get theese clears done then

[frozen zodiac]

you can still get a ring and boots

[forest sage]

so basically today get like 2gloves 2 body, tomorrow get 2 body 2 helm 2 boots(just an example)

[true jolt]

keep in mind we have maintenance tomorrow, dont barge in and wondering why game offline lel

[urban pewter]

TRue actually, i should get ring and boots

if possible that is

[frozen zodiac]

look up the drop table for that

[forest sage]

!faq normalloot

[zinc orbit]

Pandaemonium Normal Raid Loot Table

Image URL: https://i.imgur.com/pkLRUiF.png

[frozen zodiac]

yaaas

[true jolt]

if you lose the roll just repear the fight. but it can be numbing

[frozen zodiac]

so you can get boots on 2 and 4 and a ring on 3

or gloves on 2 3 and a ring on 4

[forest sage]

yeah you don't have to loot stuff, pass on things you don't want, roll on things you want, if you don't win, you can run again

[frozen zodiac]

or helm on 2 3 and ring on 4

[frozen zodiac]

this is the way. many aphorisms

[true jolt]

i just set lootmaster PF, 5x is more than enough for me to quit that shitty rng :/

[true jolt]

also this is estimated gear progression if you need it!

[frozen zodiac]

ninja looting is heresy and you don't want to know what we do to heretics

[true jolt]

whats a ninja looting?

[frozen zodiac]

ninjalooting is when you set lootmaster and just take the loot you want without fair rolls or assent of the group

[barren granite]

loot n scoot

[true jolt]

thats when i create the pf is (just need x , passing the other). so i claim that token for myself and set all to greed only

[frozen zodiac]

loot n scoot is different

still rude, completely different reasons tho

[barren granite]

well in this game it is ya

in a farm and jsut get youyr ride and leave group

[true jolt]

they join knowing the rule soo 🤷

[frozen zodiac]

then that is not ninja looting

which is good

[frozen zodiac]

I got my ruby gwiber on my 3rd ever run and stuck around to help the group leader farm the last totems they needed, cause otherwise that would have been rude

[barren granite]

rude but technically w/ in your right

but ya

[flat yew]

Do we know at what time the patch will happen tomorrow?

[neon sentinel]

why on collectables in mining i dont get 85-90 collectables

[hot eagle]

https://eu.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/news/detail/b020fd8dd218867b9190844a8b3c374744ea6b47

[frozen zodiac]

we know maintenance times, and generally patch is available for download betwee 1-2 am pacfific

[flat yew]

Awesome thanks

[green grail]

because your level's too low

[neon sentinel]

i got 90 lvl

lol

[frozen zodiac]

alternatively, mining/quarrying have a different set of collectables and you're looking at the wrong one

[neon sentinel]

so quarrying is the 85-90 ?

[frozen zodiac]

I remember helping somebody with a similar problem, so maybe? whats your gathering log say?

[green grail]

did you re-open the collectables window since you got to 90

81-90 is one section but it updates when you reopen the window

[neon sentinel]

ok one more question what are ephemeral nodes

[frozen zodiac]

they are additional nodes that spawn pseudocollectables that can be aetherally reduced via aetherial reduction, these yeild aethersands and shards/crystals/clusters

[green grail]

timed nodes that you can spam, and you gather collectables from them for aetherial reduction into aethersands

[neon sentinel]

but somehow they didnt show to me

[green grail]

they spawn at specific times in specific zones

[neon sentinel]

ok i didnt unlock it

XD

so i unlocked aethernal reduction and now i should see the nodes right ?

[frozen zodiac]

if you're in the right zone at the right time

[urban pewter]

Holy shit actually, floor 3 of duty ffinder pandae is kinda wild

[frozen zodiac]

thats the one with the many headed horse?

[neon sentinel]

wait what is regional folklore ?

[tall mountain]

Books you get from tokens you buy with White Gatherer's Scrips

You need them to see Legendary Nodes

[leaden ginkgo]

why is this game unplayable like literally

[leaden ginkgo]

i downloaded the ps5 ver.

can’t find the ps4 ver. on store

[barren granite]

create an account on site ?

[leaden ginkgo]

i did

i logged in

[leaden ginkgo]

and that popped out

[barren granite]

oh you trying to buy it now ?

it isnt available for purchse due to congestion

[warped nest]

Massive congestion

[rain tree]

are the studium quests repeatable?

or if ive done it with one job from the group, i cant do it with other jobs anymore?

[warped nest]

Non repeatable

[rain tree]

ouch

[warped nest]

My recommendation is to use it to level jobs that are falling behind

[rain tree]

i already have all crafters. too bad miner and botanist are in the same group

[warped nest]

You can make or gather the required items with one of your better jobs

[rain tree]

so much work 😦

[warped nest]

Then used another job to complete the quests

[frozen zodiac]

miner and botanist are pretty easy to level without quests, and there are plenty of other ways to get scrips

[strange knoll]

Do tanks have to face everything they tank like in WoW? Do they take more damage or cannot block of something from the back?

[warm snow]

No

But using any abilities will face you towards the boss anyways

[frozen zodiac]

though it is polite to try to gather mobs up in a dungeon so the dps can aoe them down

[strange knoll]

Alright, legacy control is safe then thanks

[warm snow]

There are gaze mechanics where your character has to be facing away from the boss

So be aware of that

[leaden ginkgo]

i’m not buying it

trying to play the trial ver

[warm snow]

If you're new

[tall mountain]

you can't start playing the trial atm either

[warm snow]

Too bad

Trials closed

[leaden ginkgo]

when are they gonna open

[tall mountain]

no idea

[tall mountain]

wish we knew

[frozen zodiac]

not nice

[leaden ginkgo]

i hope this studio seeks the help it needs

[warm snow]

They literally can't get new hardware

[tall mountain]

they are very much trying, my friend

[warm snow]

That's the unfortunate situation that they're in

[frozen zodiac]

to your question, servers are basically all full, and so full that they can't even sell more of the game, and with the chip shortage we're looking at the end of this month before we'll more more about when specifically

[tall mountain]

you think a studio wants to stop people throwing money at them when they're hosting one of the most hyped up games on the market?

[gleaming sierra]

how do hunts work, do i need to accept the bills from the board or can i just follow a hunt train?

[warm snow]

A lesser studio would take the money and say fuck the user experience. They're choosing to do what they can for the customers they currently have so that when they reopen people aren't getting a sub par experience

[barren granite]

ya its a huge game right now and they cant even sell more games ...

[tall mountain]

for the lower ranked marks you can solo, you'd need to pick up the bills

the A and S ranks, you simply kill them

[gleaming sierra]

oh ok ty

[barren granite]

they p[robably are stock piling servers and such and wont open up for new accounts until they reach a certain thresh hold to fully build out new server farm

[sick osprey]

is physick ever worth using as SMN ? it heals so little

[warm snow]

No

[frozen zodiac]

Hopefully, in patch 6.05

[warm snow]

No it won't

[frozen zodiac]

Do you have patch notes that I don't?

[tall mountain]

they have precedent

[warm snow]

Know but I appear to have prior game knowledge that you don't

[tall mountain]

in that physick has always been this bad

and never received changes

[warm snow]

Physick is a remnant of the arr class system and scales on mind

Which was usable when you had stat customization even if it wasn't good

[solemn jewel]

And frankly, smn doesn't need it.
It's not a vital part of the kit
No need to buff it

[warm snow]

And is still usable in arr levelling where your gear has both mind and int

But is completely worthless past 50

[tall mountain]

well, vercure isn't a vital part of red mage, and theirs still works

[frozen zodiac]

I think it heals for about 500 at 90

[solemn jewel]

Cus rdm is a utility mage

[tall mountain]

might as well take res away from smn as well with that logic

[warm snow]

Only niche use I can think of is setting off the pld shield but it can DIY that now with Holy spirit

[frozen zodiac]

which is to say... either remove it or fix it at that point, and hopefully in 6.05

[warm snow]

And red mage also uses vercure to set up dual cast

[true jolt]

Smn physic is like ast undraw

Relic of old system but somehow survive the button culling

[hasty grove]

this might be a silly question but I have so much gear from levelling I never use. What am I meant to do with it?

[tall mountain]

assuming you aren't planning on using it soon on leveling another job that uses the same gear, sell it

[warm snow]

It's basically broken since 3.0, 4.0 at best for it to be changed now when not even the smn rework didn't change anything, fat chance. They probably want to keep it to better tie scholar to arcanist

[frozen zodiac]

extract materia and desynth it or hand it in

[hasty grove]

I put some in my glam cabinet but I'm worried about that getting full 😦

[solemn jewel]

Trade em in for gc seals, sell em, keep em for glam, use it on other classes, desynthing

[frozen zodiac]

hope, as they say, springs eternal, however it appears to spring away from you

[tall mountain]

a lot of the gear you got while leveling is rather simple to get again, so there's no need to clog up your dresser

[tall mountain]

i mean in this case you'd've been hoping for what, 7 years?

[frozen zodiac]

Don't make this personal.

[warm snow]

No need for personal insults I'm just going off pattern recognition

[tall mountain]

lmao

you insulted the other dude and then claim i made it personal

[frozen zodiac]

That isn't an insult.

[tall mountain]

it's more of an insult than what i typed

[frozen zodiac]

This isn't the channel for discussion of this sort anyway.

[warm snow]

Based on 7 years of history physick isnt being changed, end of discussion

[copper vortex]

Hi! I'm entirely new and a lot of stuff is pretty overwhelming. I just did my first dungeon yesterday! I'm really enjoying the game. When is a good time to join Free Companies? Can people join me as I'm just doing main quests and such, or do people normally play together in end game stuff?

[warm snow]

It's just a guild

[barren granite]

you still inm free trial phase ?

[tall mountain]

people can absolutely join you for lower levelled dungeons, although you'd find most people would be more interested in the higher level content

[barren granite]

if you join a FC thats for new folks then im sure they'll help you out and u can join one anytime

[tall mountain]

free companies are typically social spaces

[frozen zodiac]

You find a free company with people you like to play with and join them, some duties are solo duties but dungeons, trials, raids, you can join your friend in

[true jolt]

Free companies is more like social group in xiv, so if you looking to having more friends to talk etc you can join fc

[copper vortex]

I don't have shadowbringers and Endwalker yet

[frozen zodiac]

That is fine

[tall mountain]

did you buy the base game, though?

you'll need to be off the free trial to join a free company

[barren granite]

^^

[copper vortex]

I registered for free trial before they closed, and found a loop hole by getting a disc with everything up until shadowbringers. Some kind of (old) complete edition

I'm no longer in the free game, no

[tall mountain]

excellent, then you'd be just fine to join one

[barren granite]

if you go to main hubs then FC advertise for folks to join

in shouts

[copper vortex]

Thanks for answering me. I'll just have to find a chill fc, then. I'm a single dad with little time to play, haha. I need a patient crew

[true jolt]

also check party finder on "other" category many promote their fc there too

[copper vortex]

Oh, thanks a lot

I found the community finder on the FF14 website as well. Is it good for finding fc?

[frozen zodiac]

It can be

[pliant quest]

is the dungeon exp buff makes it worth more than it was to gain level from it ?

[barren granite]

make sure to join a FC that has a guild house 🙂

not all of themn doi

[copper vortex]

@barren granite oh, what's that and what's its purpose?

[forest sage]

what?

[pliant quest]

what\

[frozen zodiac]

Yea, your sentence does not parse as natural language

[forest sage]

that doesn't make any sense sorry, could you reword the question

[barren granite]

it has a stable fopr your chocobo and gardens to grow. It is the residential district. Off of the main city hubs

[pliant quest]

SE buffed the exp gain from dungeon right ?

[frozen zodiac]

are you talking about the buff to dungeon xp buff for endwalker dungeons dooms?

[woven pollen]

81-90 is faster in dungeons if that's what your asking

[barren granite]

FC has to purchase them...so not all FC has houses.

[pliant quest]

they only buff EW dungeon only ?

[copper vortex]

@barren granite wow, cool. This game is really deep

[barren granite]

you dont even know 🙂

[copper vortex]

Haha

[frozen zodiac]

You have armory bonus in pre-endwalker dungeons, so... technically no?

[forest sage]

yeah by 50%, for EW dungeons only

[barren granite]

but ya, is very deep

[copper vortex]

I'm looking forward to it

[pliant quest]

i read somewhere.. its better to do dungeon 2x than wasting time on 40min Daily MSQ roulete

is it legit

[frozen zodiac]

for exp, yes

[pliant quest]

cos from that DR mSQ i got like 80-90% exp (40min-ish)

[frozen zodiac]

in order of speed of xp, leveling roulette > pvp roulette > highest dungeon available

[shrewd kiln]

when does patch drop / maintenance begin? or has it already begun

[frozen zodiac]

per minute spent

[pliant quest]

i get the same amount from just ie. spamming tower of zot ?

[frozen zodiac]

You can run 2.5 towers of zot in one msq roulette

[barren granite]

w/ trusts ?

[tall mountain]

got about 20 hours or so, dont think it's been announced yet? (aint checked lodestone)

[woven pollen]

Yeah prae is like 90% of a lvl but it's not very high in terms of exp to time efficiency but it's very effective in exp to effort

[tall mountain]

nvm yeah it has

[pliant quest]

how much exp per 1 EW dungeon btw

[tall mountain]

it starts in 17 hours

[pliant quest]

50% ?

[frozen zodiac]

about 50% yea

[barren granite]

you talking 2.5 w/ trusts ?

[pliant quest]

oh thats good

[green grail]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1E4PqswJsIhQolNk3sKdE4QMks3hTDPVrCoU0CC5TI2M/edit#gid=650864052

[frozen zodiac]

no, with people

[tall mountain]

nah, 2.5 player ones, prae takes about 50 mins, a normal dungeon takes about 20

(trust takes about 30)

[shrewd kiln]

I always try to throw in a trial roulette too since those take less than 10 min every time, unsure how efficient they are though

[tall mountain]

pretty bad for efficiency

especially if you get one you wipe on

[barren granite]

ah

[woven pollen]

Trials give bad exp but very good tombstones for effort 👌

[shrewd kiln]

I run them for the tomestones yeah, forgot this discussion was about exp

[tall mountain]

o yeah for tomestones they're good

xp, i wouldn't even touch them

[forest sage]

trials are usually fast the xp isn't that bad for the time unless you get a bad one

[shrewd kiln]

btw will new tomestones drop for 6.05? this is my first expansion launch

[pliant quest]

weekly tomestone yes

[frozen zodiac]

fate farming is ALMOST as efficient as dungeons tho, and you can make money doing those

new tomestones, yes, weekly cap of 450 is projected

[shrewd kiln]

right I forgot about capped tomestones

[woven pollen]

Even on high lvl trials your getting like 10% for 10-20 minutes of investment

[shrewd kiln]

I'm slacking tbh, still not even in full moonward

[frozen zodiac]

Honestly, just cap your aphorisms and flood the market with mats for the crafted gear

then go fate farm to get money to buy the crafted set

[shrewd kiln]

I hope the new crafted doesn't get too expensive day one, I have like 2.5m gil sitting rn

[silent island]

How do I buy only 1 of something off the market board?

[hot eagle]

you hope someone sells only 1

[silent island]

-_-

[true jolt]

buy the stacks and sell rest of them

no you cant only buy some from x number on sale

[frozen zodiac]

Basically the first week you're looking at about 800k per piece

[humble epoch]

Are the stickers you get in wonderous tails random?

[frozen zodiac]

yes

[true jolt]

son.... better wait 2-3 months before purcashing crafted gear if you dont want to bleed your wallet

[warm snow]

Lol

Day 1 it's always gonna be like a million a piece

[shrewd kiln]

I swear this wasn't so bad in 5.4, I got full exarchic pretty cheap

like slightly over a million gil

[frozen zodiac]

There are factors as play there

[shrewd kiln]

I am on the server with the most crafters tbh

[true jolt]

one of it afaik crafter already have bis from 5.3 so they can craft it pretty easily ig

with tomorrow however, crafting it going to be hard imo

[shrewd kiln]

I didn't think of that - I should prob level my crafters to understand the market better

[frozen zodiac]

like how difficult it is to craft, not a lot of pentamelded crafters in general and if thats the floor rather than the ceiling then few crafters can make it. Then you've got the materials it requires, which is always a crapshoot, then you've got demand

[tall mountain]

there's going to be incredibly high demand and only so much supply for the materials, and there's also the time taken to actually make the gear

[frozen zodiac]

but yea, my fc mate preordered a pentamelded set for 15 million gil

[tall mountain]

especially if it requires crafted HQ materials to get 100% HQ on the gear

[tall mountain]

15 mil already pentamelded is probably quite cheap

[frozen zodiac]

eh, maybe

[shrewd kiln]

Ok my new strategy is "buy crafted weapon day 1 and then stick to aphorism farm"

[woven pollen]

That's a steal fo sure

[winter jetty]

how effective is durability draught?

[frozen zodiac]

But then there is also the glam element

if its a cool glam then everybody is gonna want it

[woven pollen]

Your likely not gonna need to repair for the 3 hour duration it gives unless you die 1000 times in the 3 hours

[true jolt]

you know. even patch is always hard to get gear as casual player aka savage raiding. odd patch is where we can get higher gear easily via alliance raid and augmented crafted + crafter got new gear which tend to make crafting easier -> crafted gear price drop

but thats just my persona experience

[winter jetty]

how about crafting?

[visual sandal]

is there a reaper guide somewhere

this stuff is weird

[woven pollen]

I crafted 50 things and it takes my gear by 10%, just my personal use data no idea the exact numbers

[true jolt]

check the balance discord but if you have specific question i can try to help

[frozen zodiac]

swing scythe, gauge go up, spend gauge, second gauge go up, spend second gauge, damage go brrrrrrr

[shrewd kiln]

tbh I'm just trying to cope after finding out it's not going to be as easy as exarchic

[visual sandal]

i really don't want to go on balance discord again

I asked how to play monke and they gave me lvl 90 double solar openers and how to time riddle of wind

[winter jetty]

crafting normally seems to reduce my gear by 1% every 2-3 so that seems pretty nice

[frozen zodiac]

pass onto me that wisdom

[true jolt]

i mean.. whats "how to play monke mean" though lol

[visual sandal]

t'was at lvl 60 though

[true jolt]

maybe check guide from this legend https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DJQKqKWn8Zg

[shrewd kiln]

What ilvls will the new crafted / auged crafted / savage gear be?

[visual sandal]

and I had questions on perfect balance

[true jolt]

he literally breakdown every single skill to made you understand what each skill does

[frozen zodiac]

580/590/600/605

[warm snow]

He doesn't have new monk yet

[warm snow]

There's no aug crafted til maybe 6.1

I think

[frozen zodiac]

sounds correct

Boy am I getting egg on my face with all these questions Lol, I'm way more of a noob than I realized

[warm snow]

It's one of many catchup mechanics

[true jolt]

we start somewhere ❤️

[warm snow]

There'll be new limited tome gear tomorrow

That'll be 590

And augment to 600

But augments will only be available via savage til 6.1

[true jolt]

this is the gear progression for 6.0

[shrewd kiln]

thanks!

[true jolt]

6.1 will add alliance gear, aug crafted, new ex (for weap) and easier method to access augmented limited tomestone gear

[frozen zodiac]

and we get to oggle three, MAYBE four new weapons tomorrow

[warm snow]

Where are you getting 4 from

[frozen zodiac]

Primal weapons

[true jolt]

glam weap?

[frozen zodiac]

ye

[true jolt]

i think they added randomly when yoshi p feels like it lol

[warm snow]

IF we get new crafted primal weapons, theyre not new, just extreme drops with a glow

[last mural]

Which should i prepare for endgame crafting? Cunning or Commanding Craftman's Draught? (Control vs CP)

[frozen zodiac]

but maybe the glow is really cool

[warm snow]

Probably cp

[last mural]

Thanks

[eternal blade]

should i put spell speed+ or crit+ on my Sage?
I can see arguments for both. And yes, I'm putting Piety as well.

[finite topaz]

No, not piety, please

!faq ewbalance

[zinc orbit]

What does Endwalker job balance look like now?

We cannot meaningfully discuss or draw major conclusions about Endwalker job balance for a number of reasons:

1. The currently available gear is too limited/inconsistent, and future gear’s mainstat/substat distribution may affect balance.

2. Patch 6.05 will likely hold extensive job changes, just like 5.05 did (see: https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/topics/detail/b6083dbda4e9497698b64163ffc8cee52472b81a)

3. The current sample size of recorded runs and quality of data is not sufficient to eliminate variance in player skill, equipment, party composition, killtime and limited encounter design.

4. While basic rotations have been theorycrafted and simulated, optimal rotations are dependent on encounter design and party makeup. Some have yet to be discovered. These are all things that influence job balance, and can change with Savage even if current potencies remain.

5. Preliminary data is often misinterpreted and spread, causing more in harm than good.

Job balance is better left for approximately 1 month after Savage release, since there are more recorded runs, better gearing options + BiS sets, and fight designs are known.

Any current definite claims about job balance are at worst clickbait or pure speculation, and at best educated guesstimates that are subject to change as available information changes.

[finite topaz]

As for what to meld, the current best stats for healers are Crit and Det

[warm snow]

If you're playing casually it doesn't matter, if youre trying to min max see above

[eternal blade]

thats what i was thinking as well.

[finite topaz]

Also SGE gains a tad bit less from SpS compared to other healers because of Eukrasia being a fixed 1 second and eukrasian Dosis/diagnosis/prognosis being a fixed 1.5s, unaffected by SpS

[eternal blade]

oh I didn't think about that. And didn't know about the fixed rate.

[gusty island]

how long is the endwalker MSQ right now?
roughly as long as 5.0?

[warm snow]

Longer imo

Idk

[tall mountain]

phlegma also sadly doesn't get SpS'd either

[frozen zodiac]

one of these days square enix might patch it so healers look at piety and make a sound like an angry snake "Bisssssss"

[finite topaz]

As for piety, avoid like the plague, SGE doesnt has MP issues, with Lucid Dreaming and 700 MP per Addersgall used its good

[finite topaz]

Phlegma does

[warm snow]

!action phlegma

[zinc orbit]

**Phlegma** : lvl 26 SGE (400 MP) (45.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Deals unaspected damage to target and all enemies nearby it with a potency of 400 for the first enemy, and 30% less for all remaining enemies.
Additional Effect: Restores HP to targets under the effect of Kardion granted by you
Cure Potency: 170 Maximum Charges: 2
This action does not share a recast timer with any other actions.

[tall mountain]

it does?

[finite topaz]

wait no

[tall mountain]

[warm snow]

The gcd cooldown is effected

[finite topaz]

LMAO my bad, confused with Toxikon with the recast time

[warm snow]

But it won't effect the recharge

[true jolt]

with roughly 30% more custscene i say its longer

took me 6 days of like 6-8 hour playing and last day took 18h

this is me watching all cutscene

SpS is almost never actually good on healers, only up to some specific tiers and even then rarely

[warm snow]

#kupo-bot-spam

[sick osprey]

oops sry

[gusty island]

on a different note - did WAR level 80 rotation change at all?
i dont have a wesk alber video to guide me. seems like all the abilities are still there, at least

[slate arrow]

it did not

[eternal blade]

ok that makes more sense. But you raised a point that I didn't think about: the main healing of Sage comes from oGCDs so spell speed would be less worth it on sage... right?

[warm snow]

Basically no

[gusty island]

ok nice 😄
so i dont have to learn anything new for msq purposes!

[warm snow]

Inner release just has a lower cooldown and only effects 3 gcds

[forest sage]

well IR is 1min cd now, but no effective difference, just press when it's up

also press charge/punch when up cause no rage cost

[finite topaz]

Ehh...kind of yeah, your GCD is 99% of the time used on offensive actions

the other 1% is on downtime healing

[forest sage]

well charges you can pool for burst window

[true jolt]

i think the only change for WAR is less fell cleave in single IR window but you do IR more often

[gusty island]

that sounds like an ok tradeoff and not too hard to work around

just gotta get all the muscle memory back, havent played in quite some time

[warm snow]

Your gauge spenders are only the gcds now too

So you don't have to hold upheaval or whatever it was to use it under ir

[eternal blade]

fair

[gusty island]

oh neat

[finite topaz]

the alignment is much better now, that's for sure, but it takes some runs to get used to only 3 Fell Cleaves per IRs

[woven pollen]

Yeah upheaval is free now which is pretty big

[true jolt]

gotta miss the 5 fell cleave dopamine rush

[woven pollen]

Now you can get 7 and rend at the end

@forest sage will i use crafter or gatherer in end game?

[warm snow]

And generally a bit of experience with other roles will make you a better player overall

[forest sage]

yes/no, it's not necessary, but it can be useful to make money/craft gear for new tiers/craft food/pots, repair anywhere etc

[mental ruin]

ok sounds good

[shrewd kiln]

Do normal raids have to be cleared in order weekly?

[forest sage]

no

you can queue all 4 and then do whatever pops

[eternal blade]

honestly, I would try out other classes/roles, or do raiding. If you don't want to both too much with mechanics then do alliance raids. You can pretty much bumble around and follow the crowd and win.

[true jolt]

you can clear in any order. savage however need to do in order

[rocky stag]

Hello ppl..i think either i misunderstood or got wrong informations about the free trial of ffxiv

[mental ruin]

@eternal blade i can try the raids

[rocky stag]

ppl told me i can continue until the last quest of Lv60..which is "faith of token" but game asking me to buy stormblood to continue after the quest "beyond the great wall" WHY?

[finite topaz]

Beyond the great wall is part of the Stormblood MSQ

[rocky stag]

yes it is

so am i stuck now?

[green grail]

heavensward 3.5 ends at level 60 and the next expansion, which isn't part of the trial, also starts at 60

[finite topaz]

yes, Token of Faith is also a quest of Stormblood, using Stormblood zones

[rocky stag]

alright thanks

[weak thistle]

Hello is it possible to buy expansion and start game or its also locked ? My friend wants to start from zero but he cant as i can see

[true jolt]

expansion without starter/base game is useless

so if your friend havent have starter edition atm no way they can play it unless risking themself on finding key at grey market

[weak thistle]

i see but i got all game untill last expansion i can just buy active my acc and play as i understand

[true jolt]

sorry can you rephrase it? i dont quite understand what you mean?

[rugged thicket]

but he has the base game and endwalker so he can sub

i think?

[true jolt]

so is this for him or his friend @_@

[warped nest]

They are making comparison

Their friend can't play

But they can

[weak thistle]

Sorry trying to explain too my friend same time i coudlnt write properly. I have base game and all expansion untill endwalker . I asked if i buy endwalker and active my account can i play ( becuase they said new sub also cant play ) . My friend is kinda imposibleto play because he cant buy from steam or ps store need to find third party key probably

[obsidian patio]

You already have the base game registered, so you can play.

the sale of endwalker itself isn't restricted in any way.

[warm snow]

All licensed sellers have pulled key sales so anywhere still selling is gonna be questionable

what's this symbol next to the name?

on gamescape its called "sharing duty"

but usually it means you are in instanced content but dont have party yet

[covert marlin]

what's a good single target spell for BLU till HW?

[flat yew]

are there always two ephemeral nodes per spawn?

[midnight grotto]

thank you ! yeah was soloing

[green grail]

there's a few at once but they keep respawning

you can keep spamming them during the spawn window

[obsidian patio]

basically any 220 potency spell that you like using. I preferred Glower

[flat yew]

oh

[covert marlin]

oke ty! any reason to use sonic boom?

[flat yew]

how am I supposed to sustain my GP during that window hahaha

[obsidian patio]

Movement

or to weave in abilities

[tall mountain]

cordials

[covert marlin]

oke!

[flat yew]

are there any above hi-cordials?

[tall mountain]

nope

[green grail]

cordials but yeah "spam them" as far as GP allows, like 3-5 gathers per spawn window

[tall mountain]

and also, don't be scared to keep gathering even when you aren't at full

[flat yew]

do I even get any sand from reduction if it isn't at a full 1k?

[obsidian patio]

yes

it's just a lower chance

[flat yew]

hrm

that makes so much more sense

I was wondering how people get a lot of sand with only one or two nodes per window

[fringe bone]

Hey guys i had a question, so i turn on limited leveling roulette im a lvl 57 RDM but im still getting dungeons like copper mines. Im solo

anyone know why?

[flat yew]

limited is only for full pre-made parties iirc

[fringe bone]

Ah

Thats why

Thank you

[flat yew]

is this respawning the same or similar for folklore nodes or is the only way to get more of that to drop all my GP on a single node?

[tall mountain]

legendary nodes are once per their window

once you mine them, you need to wait 12 hours for the next one

ephemeral are the only timed nodes that respawn during their window

[flat yew]

bummer

[forest sage]

that's 12 ingame hours btw, not real hours

[flat yew]

ye

thanks

[opaque fiber]

What's a good way to use Manipulation (the crafter skill)? Just unlocked it

[obsidian patio]

You use it before using touches/synthesis

it basically replaces Master's Mend for most scenarios

Do note that if the action would take the craft to 0 durability, then Manipulation won't work and the craft will break.

[opaque fiber]

I see

Would it be good to use it before Waste Not II?

[obsidian patio]

yes, but that can be overkill

[opaque fiber]

Hmm so when do I decide which of those to use?

[gusty island]

hmmm so i wanna upheaval any chance i get now, right

[faint flare]

Yes

You did that anyway

[obsidian patio]

Manipulation is usually a bit better, but Waste Not shines more when you use actions that eat up more Durability, like Preparatory Touch and Groundwork.

One main advantage Manipulation has is that it works even if you're not using an action that takes away durability, which Waste Not doesn't.

[opaque fiber]

I see, because those take more durability but Manipulation restores even if you use stuff like Veneration

[obsidian patio]

So it doesn't lose value when you use buff actions like Veneration and Innovation

[opaque fiber]

Ok ty!

[gusty island]

so would i be correct thinking the opener (for level 80) is now something like

storms eye combo (with upheaval after heavy swing) -> infuriate -> fell cleave -> infuriate -> fell cleave -> inner release -> fell cleave x3

[opaque fiber]

Also another crafter topic, is it making sense that my CP dropped from like 507 to around 495 when switching the Shb scrips gear to the current BiS ( not materia yet)

[obsidian patio]

upheaval after you get the Eye buff, and you use infuriate right after heavy swing to get the gauge amount and inner chaos proc sooner

[gusty island]

oh right for future uses, "shorter" cooldown

or rather getting it on cooldown asap

makes sense

inner release after both infuriates then eh

[obsidian patio]

So your opener looks something like this:
Tomahawk + Infuriate > Heavy Swing > Maim > Storm's Eye + Upheaval > Inner Chaos + Inner Release > Fell Cleave + Onslaught x3

[gusty island]

oh wow onslaught is free too now

[obsidian patio]

yep

and you get a third charge later on

[gusty island]

nice

yeah the rotation you posted feels good to use

especially once the third charge comes in

[obsidian patio]

Primal Rend at 90 fits in there somewhere. You can hold onto it for a good while, but it should get boosted by party buffs

best to check the balance discord and their WAR info

[gusty island]

right, good call. i'll see if they have leveling rotations

[shrewd kiln]

Does bozja have a min ilvl? I'm wondering whether to spend poetics for scaevan gear on reaper or use bozja as a means to skip getting that gear

besides the bozja-specific gear with the haste stat on it

Do you need eureka missions active to farm stuff for eureka weapons?

[modest igloo]

nope

you need to unlock the stuff first tho

but after that its just currency that you obtain via doing stuff

[true jolt]

2nd area (pagos) you need to reach lvl25 mission to be able to grind light although you can access pago start from lvl 20

[steel canopy]

actually lemme rephrase, do I need to have the eureka weapon quest running?

oh ah. that's really great

no you dont need

the currency is crystal you get from fates/NM

[steel canopy]

how far in is the light farming?

pagos after the first step there, IIRC

2nd area, lvl25.. took hours ngl. 1 fate give like 1/3 or half bar? you need around 30 bar worth

@wheat plumei mean cos i picked it up when i wasnt lvl 80, my 3 lines reward is either 1m mgp or 3 silver certificates :(

[warm snow]

You have to hand it in as a level 90 for a gold cert

[wheat plume]

if u can enter freely, then the only way is walking from the left side of the map

[gleaming sierra]

i think its based on what u picked it up as cos it says 3 silvers :(

[wheat plume]

use a lvl 90 job to turn it in

[gleaming sierra]

i am haha

still says 3 silvers tho qq

Wondrous Tails

Wondrous Tails are unlocked by speaking to the Unctuous Adventurer for the quest Keeping Up with the Aliapohs in Idyllshire upon reaching level 60 with at least one combat class.

Speaking with Khloe Aliapoh afterwards will give you a journal that has a series of random combat challenges to be completed which award you with a sticker that appears on the right-hand side of the journal. This journal can be accessed from the key items section of your inventory.

Your goal is to try and collect 9 stickers from completing those challenges. The stickers will appear in a random location on the 4x4 grid, but can occasionally align and form a straight line of 4, which can award you with additional rewards. Multiple line orientations are possible, with 3 lines being the most difficult to accomplish. Here is an image that shows how your stickers can be lined up so you can have the highest chance of 3 lines. Use the 'second chance' points you earn from completing content with new players to shuffle your 4x4 board around to try for 3 lines! To view what the possible rewards are for the Wondrous Tails or to see when they reset, use the !wt in #kupo-bot-spam Good luck!

Quick question - I'm trying to get my ilvl high enough to do the Pandaemonium raids. do certain equipment slots affect ilvl more than others?

[boreal storm]

Weapon

[shrewd kiln]

What are some poetic farms other than roulettes and masked carnivale?

[faint flare]

[steel canopy]

So what gear coffers does post sb reward you with?

[modest igloo]

crafted gear basically

[tall mountain]

nope, your item level is a simple average of all of your gear

[modest igloo]

well weapon counts as 2

[tall mountain]

(waiting for someone to kick the door down and tell me that's wrong)

lmao ofc

[modest igloo]

dude honestly i feel that

but yeah since sword and shield are separate weapons for other jobs count as 2

[open coral]

weapon counts as one

[faint flare]

Weapon counts double for non paladin/crafters/gathering

Aka people who don't use off hand

[slate arrow]

I believe post expansion quests give you a set of the second tomestone gear most of the time.

[faint flare]

Cause it covers the off hand slot

[open coral]

in the case of PLD or where you have a MH/OH, it takes the average of those two separately before putting that average into the formula.

[slate arrow]

HW gives you the Hellfire set, I can't tell you for Stormblood or Shadowbringers but I'm fairly sure it's the 370 and 500 tomestone gear respectively

[modest igloo]

is that why reaper and sage got augmented crystarium sets? the ilvl 500 stuff

[open coral]

So it calculates as: AVG (AVG (MH + OH) all other gear slots)

[fast talon]

what if you take off your shield

[slate arrow]

Pardon? If you mean the job gear it's just the 70 quest gear at 430 so you're not locked out of the level 80 dungeon before trial 3

Since item level restrictions did not exist until Shadowbringers

[open coral]

Then your shield isn't being calculated into the formula and it defaults to the 1H weapon formula.

[fast talon]

o i just tested, specifically paladin weapon only counts for half

[warm snow]

Post stormblood gives you an old tome set

[slate arrow]

The 500 set specifically comes from a MSQ reward coffer

[open coral]

Yes, because a PLD "weapon" is actually two parts.

[modest igloo]

does post SHB have gear coffers now? to accomdate like post HW and SB

[slate arrow]

it should, but I'll need to double check.

[warm snow]

They didn't get shit.

That stuff is healing/maiming gear it's not specific to reaper and sage

[modest igloo]

no they got ilvl 500 weapons too

thats what i should have said

not sets mb

[slate arrow]

yeah

[warm snow]

Crystarium weapons?

[modest igloo]

ye

[slate arrow]

yeah they have crystarium weaps

[warm snow]

Huh neat

I should look into them

Do they look any good?

[modest igloo]

bad wolfy put out a video on all the sge/rpr weapons

[slate arrow]

the sage one is a recycled model

[thin adder]

Okay so increasing my weapon ilvl won't be any better than increasing the ilvl of other gear?

[slate arrow]

well they're both recycled models

[slate arrow]

you get the biggest DPS benefit from weapon upgrades

[warm snow]

In terms of purely your average ilevel no, in terms of increased damage output yes

[warm snow]

I'm assuming from the starter gear?

[thin adder]

I mean i just wanna play the raids

[boreal storm]

Yes

I just scrolled through and Fraying Threads gives Crystarium coffers

[signal veldt]

for new starters looking to do endgame, should i level max one gathering class then another one, then only focus on the crafting ones?

[warm snow]

Sb gave dai ryukyu

[warm snow]

Up to you

It's easier to level them at the same time due to the shared gear

This applies moreso to crafters since there's 8 of them

[leaden ginkgo]

Hey guys, I accidentally traded my gear for seals on the expert delivery thing. Is there a way to undo it ? :c

[slate arrow]

no

[warm snow]

Nope

There's an option in expert delivery to hide items in gearsets

So turn that on asap

So this isn't repeated

[leaden ginkgo]

I will /: It was an item I got from the character boost. Is there a similar weapon to it ??

[warm snow]

Pretty sure that's just poetics gear

[slate arrow]

it's literally just poetics gear

[gleaming sierra]

is there any point me farming ex for weapon and accessories when new tome gear is tomorrow?

[faint flare]

Yew

[modest igloo]

different substats, dont cost gil to get

[open coral]

If you want to go into Savage right away.

[slate arrow]

they'll be time limited so it's still in your best interest to use EX gear

[warm snow]

It takes 7 of normal raids to get new tome weapon

[gleaming sierra]

oh dang, didnt know that

[leaden ginkgo]

Thanks !

450 a week

Enough for like

1 accessory and some change

[rough cairn]

all good now! apparently the quest "Reach Long and Prosper" is already a deleted/removed quest. Finishing "None Forgotten, None Forsaken" unlocked the Chocobo Raincoat in the Scrip Exchange NPC 🙂

[faint flare]

Ex gear is the best available that's not weekly locked or cost a fuck ton of gil

[slate arrow]

or behind the crafting and gathering grind

[warm snow]

Ex weapon is also equal item level with the crafted weapon

[silent cove]

yo is there any news on when the game will be put back on sale >

[warm snow]

No

[faint flare]

No

[warm snow]

Just wait, this is big enough that it'll be in most gaming news when it's back

[silent cove]

i hope it will be back soon

[warm snow]

We aren't even getting news on that til later this month

If at all

So Feb or later is most likely

[silent cove]

are the queue times getting better ?

[open coral]

Marginally

But not a lot

They're still pretty bad for most servers at peak hours.

[warm snow]

And tomorrow's gonna be really bad too

[silent cove]

they have to invest into more servers

[robust iron]

Yeah logging on beyond 5pm EST is like 2k queue for me

[boreal storm]

They’re trying to, read the news

[faint flare]

They are lol

[warm snow]

Wow why didn't anyone think of that!?

[silent cove]

oh

[warm snow]

[faint flare]

Give this guy a job for such groundbreaking thinking

[open coral]

Literally the problem is there are no servers to invest in

[warm snow]

I know you don't mean it maliciously but maaaaan we've heard that a lot and they literally can't buy servers

[open coral]

Like, literally do not exist.

[silent cove]

no like they create more

i think thats possible

[slate arrow]

lmao

[boreal storm]

Nope

[faint flare]

Idk if you heard of this thing called

[warm snow]

The physical hardware to create servers is not available

[faint flare]

Semiconductor shortage

That's useful to make them

[slate arrow]

they have literally tried to pay over market price

[boreal storm]

Again please read the news they’ve given us

[open coral]

They have tried everything.

[silent cove]

where can i read the news

[warm snow]

Pins

[open coral]

On the lodestone

[silent cove]

aight

[open coral]

On basically any gaming news site, tbh

[warm snow]

Anyone bitching about not getting a ps5

[robust iron]

It sucks because I'm wanting to have my friends join FFXIV, but they can't buy the game lol

[open coral]

It's been big news for the past... 5 months, at least for XIV alone.

[slate arrow]

They don't use typical cloud server infrastructure they actually run and own the hardware this game runs on

So they can't just poke a cloud service provider either

[open coral]

And the last year, year and a half for everyone else that uses computing hardware in any capacity.

[warm snow]

Anyone bitching about not being able to get a gpu too

[robust iron]

Game consoles are a thing of the past for me now, being able to find a ps5/Xbox is ridiculous. Even more, FB marketplace douchers are selling them way overpriced

Ended up just buying a laptop

[near rover]

When do i use anataman as a monk?

[warm snow]

I actually built my pc(first one too) at the start of this mess with cancelled holiday funds but that's getting into #not-ffxiv-discussion discussion so let's stop

!qction anataman

!action anatman

[zinc orbit]

**Anatman** : lvl 78 MNK (60.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Extends the duration of Disciplined Fist and your present form to maximum and halts their expiration.

[robust iron]

Anyone know where I can find deets on the upcoming patches/releases?

[near rover]

Closer to release, it'll be on lodestone

[warm snow]

Like 83 trial do a lap of the arena for a big attack

[warm snow]

Patch notes come during maintenance

Most of what we know about upcoming patches is pattern recognition and stuff from live letters

[crisp shadow]

Hi , i wanna know what i have to buy if i want get the game actually , just Endwalker and i got the game or something else ?

[robust iron]

ty ty

[warm snow]

If you own the base game, just Endwalker.

If you own nothing either base game or complete edition

[crisp shadow]

these edition are on steam ?

[warm snow]

Depends how much you want to buy up front

[open coral]

The Starter Edition and Complete Edition are not currently for sale.

[warm snow]

Not right now

[slate arrow]

you literally cannot buy the base game on steam

[fast talon]

these arent even on my list, what are these

[warm snow]

Base game is currently not for sale

[crisp shadow]

so i have to wait

[warm snow]

Maps

[slate arrow]

treasure map dungeons

[boreal storm]

Map dungeons

[crisp shadow]

until base game come back

on steam ?

[slate arrow]

yes

[open coral]

Yes

And no, we don't know when that will be.

[warm snow]

It's not for sale ANYWHERE officially

Not just steam

[crisp shadow]

kk thx

[open coral]

Best guess would be late February at the earliest.

[warm snow]

Any official partner is a no no

[open coral]

But we're more likely looking at April or later.

[warm snow]

Dc travel is a fucking pipe dream at this point

[sweet leaf]

What's a decent encDPS for SMN? been using a striking dummy and i wanna compare

[tawdry yacht]

hi guys, whats being added on this maintenance or is just for bug fixes??

[boreal storm]

Savage

[warm snow]

Savage raids, new crafted combat gear, master crafting tomes

[faint flare]

Savage, treasure map dungeons balance changes, crafted gear

[open coral]

New tomestones

[warm snow]

Tons of combat adjustments

[faint flare]

Food and pots

Tomes

[tawdry yacht]

oh nice, well thats a lot lmao thanks

[open coral]

Yeah. They'll have patch notes up sometime tonight.

[warm snow]

During the maint itself

I wonder how the new gear will look

[woeful prawn]

Stupid question but how do I lock hotbars? I see the lock on my crossbars but the hotbars have no lock

[warm snow]

It's on hotbar 1

Or the middle of crosshotbar

[woeful prawn]

The middle of the cross hotbar has one but that only locks the crossbars, not hot bars

[warm snow]

Then use the lock on hotbar 1

If you've disabled hotbar 1 or moved it way over to the left you've hidden the lock

[woeful prawn]

Oh hotbar 1 has the lock

[lofty sequoia]

hey everyone, would like to ask a question about buying the game on steam

[woeful prawn]

It worked thanks

[lofty sequoia]

if I buy this, is it also have the base game?

[warm snow]

No

[lofty sequoia]

does this include everything I need?

[warm snow]

That's dlc

[lofty sequoia]

ah, ok

[warm snow]

You're buying dlc for a game you dont/can't own

[boreal storm]

You can’t buy starter or complete

[warm snow]

Cuz it's not for sale

[faint flare]

It literally says right there

In the screensho

[lofty sequoia]

I understand, so just not able to play

[warm snow]

Fraid so

[faint flare]

That sales for the Base game and trial is suspended

[lofty sequoia]

no problem! I appreciate the help

[warm snow]

Shits too popular

[boreal storm]

Do you not have a trial account?

[lofty sequoia]

haha 😂

true

[lofty sequoia]

I might from long ago, i’ll definitely check

[warm snow]

If its pre 5.3 then it'll have expired tho

And free trial can't use the queue so if there's a queue you get das boot

[arctic fern]

When I get endwaker does it come with a separate 30d sub that will add to what I already have or it's just the expansion ?

[warm snow]

No

30 days of game time only comes with base game purchases

[arctic fern]

Oh alright makes sense

[warm snow]

If you end up double dipping for other platforms you get 30 days for that

[fickle locust]

in case anyone hasnt noticed, if you're level 90, the roulette gives you aphorism tomestones. Someone was complaining about grinding them in expert. You can get them another way.

[warm snow]

Any level 90 content

Roulettes are just the most effective eay

[fickle locust]

ah okay, I thought i just had to grind the expert dungeons, but nope, totally easy to get them

I almost did all my roulettes with a lower class until I realized

[warm snow]

Don't do your roulettes today

If you do them after maint you'll get the new limited tomes from them too

[fickle locust]

limited tomes?

[tall mountain]

the new tomestones of astronomy will release tomorrow

they're capped to 450 a week

[fickle locust]

what time is maint

[tall mountain]

13 and a half hours from now

[fickle locust]

how long does it last

idk if I can do them tomorrow morning

[tall mountain]

5 hours

[warm snow]

It won't end early

[fickle locust]

I think I'll just go ahead, because it will get me enough to do the raid

[warm snow]

Because its savage release

[limpid mulch]

I have a question about squadrons. You can only do each mission once a week, but when does it count towards that week? When you deploy them, or when they come back? If I deploy them right now and then have them come back after maintenance, will that mission be locked out or not?

[tall mountain]

<t:1641272400>

^ this time

is when it starts

[warm snow]

You do realise that's your timezone and the dude is on crystal

[tall mountain]

dumas

it's a timecode thingy

it will convert to their timezone on their pc

[fickle locust]

its midnight for me then

[warm snow]

Oh

[fickle locust]

but I cant stay up until 5am, and I don't know if I can do it before 10am tomorrow, so I will do roulettes before maint

[lofty sequoia]

I was able to login to my account from 2013 that has a expired trial, from the dashboard website I should be able to transfter to full game?

[boreal storm]

No, because you can’t buy it

[signal veldt]

first time trying to do unsync trial for my stamp, where do i find the entrance for binding coil of bahamut turn 1? dont think it's listed on the wiki page

[lofty sequoia]

darn

[warm snow]

You would, if they were selling upgrades. Which they're not

[lofty sequoia]

ah ok

[green grail]

duty finder, raid tab 1, a realm reborn

[signal veldt]

if i enter from duty finder then it would be synced right?

[fickle locust]

trials are in trial tab

[faint flare]

!faq unsync

[signal veldt]

someone adviced to unsynced and solo it, so im trying to find the entrance

[zinc orbit]

How to do Group Instances by Yourself or Without Enough People

In your duty finder window select the ⚙️ icon on the top left to open up the duty finder settings window.
Inside that window select the setting undersized party before confirming and entering the instances of your choice. NOTE: UNSYNC-ING AN INSTANCE WILL FORFEIT ALL OF YOUR EXP AND COMPLETION REWARDS. Poetics from a first time completion bonus and loots chests remain the same and will not be lost. You may not queue for daily roulettes using this method.

[warm snow]

That's a raid

[fickle locust]

they said trial lol so I didnt think

[green grail]

(it's renamed to unrestricted party now, or something like that)

[fickle locust]

raids are in raid tab

[faint flare]

The entrance just opens duty finder

[fickle locust]

I google the level of the dungeon/raid/trial and thats how I find it easier

If you dont have the quest, you have to find the NPC to give it to you

[boreal storm]

Dude there’s only so many, it’s not hard to find them

[fickle locust]

Dungeons its hard to find them

[tall mountain]

just memorize the whole game smh

ain’t hard

[fickle locust]

is there a materia melder in ||radz-at-han||

[green grail]

yes

[tall mountain]

think they are right down the end of the crafting alley

they’re down the end of one of them

[fickle locust]

oh found em

[warm snow]

Imagine not melding your own gear

[humble epoch]

Where do i unlock savage of the trails from stormblood?

[warm snow]

There are no savage trials

[humble epoch]

oh extreme then

[boreal storm]

Extreme you mean

And in Kugane

[fickle locust]

I don't have disciple level high enough

[serene holly]

hey people, can I get banned for texture mods? I wanted to make the game look a bit better but im not sure if its ok to do so

[warm snow]

You only need 10 levels below

[humble epoch]

Any idea of quest name?

[warm snow]

That's client side they can't detect it

[faint flare]

Well yes but actually no
