mossy knoll
#

i didnt even level gld

tropic flame
#

its just a sidenote for PLD players

slate arrow
#

it says paladins

#

if you are not a paladin it does not apply

mossy knoll
#

how can i continue to make bravura if its asking me for a curtana wtf

tropic flame
#

that's just for PLD

jade quartz
#

Paladins must be equipped with Curtana

#

You are not a Paladin

#

Therefore it doesn’t concern you

#

The reason it’s there is because plds have both a sword and a shield relic

#

So it’s clarifying that for plds it’s the sword that needs to be equipped

mossy knoll
#

ok i get that but im a war and cant accept up in arms

#

is there a different place for me?

patent citrus
#

what's your quest at

mossy knoll
#

Up in arms

patent citrus
#

then just equip your zenith as your war

#

then takl again

mossy knoll
#

its locked

jade quartz
#

Do you have Bravura Zenith

#

Or just Bravura

#

Bravura must be upgraded to Bravura Zenith by infusing it with 3x Thavnairian Mist by interacting with the furnace behind Gerolt

#

Thavnairian Mist is purchased from Auriana in Mor Dhona (Tomestones of Poetics -> special arms)

hey guys is there any disadvantage to using a macro for multiple abilities where one requires a proc and without wait times?

zinc orbitBOT
#
Why you shouldn't macro your GCDs

Macroing GCDs adds up to lost casts overtime, significantly harming your potential.

Check this video for a striking dummy comparison:
https://youtu.be/VgpUCgExvbA

jade quartz
#

Having a macro at all adds a delay, and having multiple actions on one macro adds further delay and also will not work consistently

#

Macros are very limited by design.

#

They are not really viable in combat except for certain specific uses

viscid lake
#

Do seasonal Fates drop atma?

obsidian patio
#

I think so, since it only cares about the zone you’re in

#

Is there a way I can watch the opening cinematic for The Navel / Lord of Crags bit? I accidentally had my sound disabled so I decided to skip and try to rewatch later, was wondering if there's a recording of it on youtube or an npc i can talk to ingame to see the opening cinematic again

#

When I searched youtube all I could find was guide videos

patent citrus
#

It's in your setting

#

char config -> untick the skip previously vieweed scenario cutscenes

cosmic badge
#

And then requeue the dungeons to see it again?

patent citrus
#

yea

cosmic badge
#

Ah ok thanks

winter jetty
#

for p3s can we start moving as soon as we see the big ball or do we need to wait for it to fire?

dense pier
#

I need your guy's opinion.

My gatherers are 90 in white-scrip 80 gear. I am trying to level my crafter who are 80 (in 80-scrip gear) and I'm realizing that leveling it through collectibles seems like it'd be time consuming...

Should I forego leveling with collectibles and do something else till like 85, then make myself crafter gear at 85 so that I can then have a chance to make HQ 90 gatherer gear or something like that?

Can you have more than one deciphered treasure map at a time? (I have an 8 man open, wanted to open a solo map as well)

plain python
dense pier
#

but thank you though

#

and yeah, I thought about GC daily turn-in

#

but I will probably have to look to levequests

#

Was thinking of picking up bard, what should I expect?

#

Are there any stables for Chocobos you can use without Aparments houses or FCs?

patent citrus
#

nope

#

gotta own an apartment or in an fc that own a house at least

patent citrus
#

then press the procs

uncut quarry
#

What are the songs? and procs?

patent citrus
#

there are 3 songs, I don't quite remember how many secs each of song should be played

#

but the orders are Minuet -> Ballad -> Army

dense pier
#

Wait is ||Sharlayan|| the only place to do leve quests in Endwalker

patent citrus
zinc orbitBOT
patent citrus
#

join this discord, get ranged and BRD role

#

then look up a guide there

uncut quarry
#

ah kewl

jade quartz
dense pier
#

I guess this is better, then

#

Triple turn-ins give the most EXP right?

fluid ore
#

I assume they macro they used in the video casts the spell once?

jade quartz
delicate field
#

do ppl still do Baldesion Arsenal?

craggy tinsel
#

can I update my chat notifications to not display what my glamours change to?

jade quartz
#

Therefore actions further down the macro happen later even if the actions before it fail to go through due to requiring a proc

#

Also actions don’t queue

fluid ore
#

i do not know what that means so I will not take it into account

jade quartz
#

You can simulate queueing to some extent (still has the delay shown in the gif) but this is done by repeating the same spell line a bunch of times. There is limited ability to do this if you want to use multiple actions in one, which further worsens responsiveness

#

Plus if your action has to wait for like 6 lines of another action to attempt execution before it goes off, that adds even more delay

jade quartz
#

You ought to ask for clarification instead

#

Queueing refers to input buffering

winter jetty
jade quartz
#

I.e. with normal actions there is a roughly .5s window towards the end of your gcd timer

mossy current
jade quartz
#

Where you can press your next action and it will be “queued”

#

I.e. it will automatically execute as soon as possible

#

Macros do not have this

#

A macro cannot register before the previous action has finished and the gcd has gone around fully

dense pier
jade quartz
#

As the system that registers when this happens depends on ping, this leads to the delay shown in the gif as well as the other problems I’ve mentioned

dense pier
#

I can easily do collectibles in 80-scrip gear without food or 2 macros

#

I'm just looking at how crazy the mat-list is looking

jade quartz
#

And if you have multiple actions on a macro and press it too early, the earlier actions in the macro will not execute

#

And it will skip to the later ones

#

That’s in addition to the delay still existing

dense pier
jade quartz
#

Basically there are all sorts of reasons not to macro

dense pier
#

That's just for 12 collectibles of each profession, too

mossy current
#

For leveling crafters, studium deliveries, GC turn ins, Deliveries, etc are good

winter jetty
#

oh yeah I guess if you're looking to save time, leves are the way to go

jade quartz
#

If you don’t understand it all then please just trust that fact

fluid ore
#

well no its generally not a good idea to just trust people

jade quartz
dense pier
#

Yeah. Fuck trusting people

jade quartz
#

I’ve given you the facts.

dense pier
jade quartz
#

It’s not necessarily required that you have the full understanding of all parts of the system in order to understand that it’s not viable

mossy current
#

But do you get it mona

fluid ore
#

no I don't

mossy current
#

Macros make you press buttons slower

#

So less damage

dense pier
#

Wait what's going on

#

Oh

#

The way you guys explain it is terrible

jade quartz
#

Then please just defer to the knowledge and experience of veteran players who concern themselves with optimisation

fluid ore
#

I feel it will only matter in stuff like savage content

mossy current
#

No

jade quartz
#

It will affect your play everywhere

fluid ore
#

ah well, its not a big deal in the long run

jade quartz
#

It kinda is

mossy current
#

In the long run is even worse

#

If adds up

jade quartz
#

Please don’t knowingly hinder your own performance in a multiplayer game

#

It’s extremely inconsiderate

fluid ore
#

thanks for your help, i'll make sure to make my own decision based on my experience and personal preference

jade quartz
#

The only good reason is if you have an actual disability or injury preventing you from playing without macros.

#

Personal preference is not a good reason, nor is laziness

winter jetty
dense pier
#

@fluid ore

When you macro a spell, it can't be queued up like normally. It's extremely noticeable.

Essentially, normally you can queue up an attack within 0.2(?) seconds before you are able to use it. Meaning that, as soon as your character is free to use an attack you immediately cast it. Essentially, 0 seconds of down-time.

Macros however, can not be queued/buffered. So, you have to hit your macro exactly when your character is free to do an action otherwise your macro will not go off. This means at best your spell gets delayed 0.5seconds, and at worst your spell never goes off because you thought you had been pressing it and moved on.

craggy tinsel
fluid ore
#

ok it is not 0.5 seconds

patent citrus
#

afaik that one is included in system message

fluid ore
#

that's a long time

dense pier
#

if you aren't spamming the macro

#

then it can be 0.5 seconds

#

If you are spamming it

#

at worst you'll probably get is 0.2 delay

jade quartz
#

If you’re spamming it you’ll interrupt it

winter jetty
#

honestly not sure since I've always had it on

jade quartz
#

If it’s a macro with multiple actions on it it will definitely self interrupt

#

If you keep spamming it will legit never go off

fluid ore
#

well, if that's all the info to be had on the subject, then that's that. I think I fully understand it now.

jade quartz
#

Don’t use them.

fluid ore
#

nothing more to say

jade quartz
#

Don’t use them.

#

Nothing more to say than that.

leaden ginkgo
#

Stinky macro players

jade quartz
#

Don’t overestimate your own expertise either

dense pier
#

To be fair, macros honestly should be a much better system in this game

#

WoW's macro system is insane and beautiful and I miss it

#

but I just had to get used to it

jade quartz
#

How you feel you are performing is not necessarily reflective of objective reality

patent citrus
#

yeah makes people braindead

dense pier
#

???
How does macro make people braindead

patent citrus
#

it's already a braindead game with DBM telling people mechanic

jade quartz
#

WoW jobs already braindead enough

#

They’re like

patent citrus
#

and now people just can't remember their own rotation

jade quartz
#

All summoners haha

dense pier
#

Macro does not make you play the game dude, I think you are having a really bias take

patent citrus
#

what do you mean? you literally can macro your whole rotation

#

if you mean the gnome macro addon

fiery sail
#

Was wondering, how do you relink? For example someone relinked for hunts in chat and I wanted to share it to some group, how do I relink it?

jade quartz
#

Then just push enter

dense pier
#

I don't think I've ever heard of anyone actually macroing a whole rotationa nd performing 100% for WoW but then again I haven't played modern WoW.

I played classic, and from vanilla -> cataclysm. At no point have I ever heard of any serious player doing a macro to do everything for you

#

Instead, macros save hotbar space. a lot

winter jetty
#

question from before, but on p3s, can we start moving right when we see the big ball or do we need to wait for it to fire?

dense pier
#

The stuff you can do with macro is insane in WoW and it helps a lot

viscid sun
#

Macros were awesome in XI because you could use them to change gear really quickly to buff your attack stats then instantly switch back to tank gear. ❤️

delicate field
#

is Asphodelos: The First Circle normal very difficult?

modest igloo
#

its normal

mossy current
#

Macros in xi saves you from pain

modest igloo
#

could you use macros on the ps2 version of XI?

mossy current
#

I believe so?

viscid sun
#

Yeah I wish they were more useful in combat. I just started playing again recently but there is very clearly a consensus on their usefulness in battle. Other than some special exceptions, like say a "ac shirk <2>" macro, they shouldn't be used much.

#

Yeah they were amazing in XI.

#

I was a PS2 player

mossy current
#

I started a character today to start story

jade quartz
#

Macros were like mandatory in XI

#

Gear swap macros on every spell and shit

viscid sun
#

Hell yeah

warped nest
#

Macro in XIV are designed specifically to be not useful in combat

#

It is not an oversight

viscid sun
#

I think we get that, but I wish they were more useful. As a developer, that kind of thing is super fun to me.

modest igloo
#

and as a non developer i dont really like th idea of needing to copy paste a program to play my game for me

patent citrus
#

what macro has a thing to do with developer

#

grade schooler can do them now

viscid sun
#

Well you are certainly not required to use them. 🙂

dense pier
#

I just want to be able to macro mouseover in this game without hurting myself

warped nest
#

The decision is made and final

dense pier
#

I'm aware, and that sucks

#

I'm allowed to say it sucks

#

and I'm allowed to wish it was changed

warped nest
#

Yup

leaden ginkgo
dense pier
#

but there shouldn't have to be a plugin for it

patent citrus
#

I don't need any plugin

#

shit is easy

#

just practice

viscid sun
#

@warped nest We understand. Are you telling us we are not allowed to discuss it here?

warped nest
#

Technically no

dense pier
warped nest
#

Since this is question and help

dense pier
#

Someone brought up macro usage, and had questions about it and why it's bad

#

We answered

#

Convo continued about macro usage

#

and how it affects gameplay

#

and opinions

delicate field
#

is baldesion arsenal the hardest content in ff14?

warped nest
#

Fair point, but at some point we just have to put a plug on it otherwise it will never end

jade quartz
#

Not really if it becomes more of a discussion.

azure finch
#

Does anyone know which song is the 3:30 to 4:05 part of the endwalker trailer from?

cursive abyss
#

This makes no sense to me, why are they giving you level 90 gear for free?

warped nest
#

All of us have a lot of love and opinions for XIV

jade quartz
dense pier
#

Isn't there something harder than Ultimate?

jade quartz
#

Savage and Extreme are also mechanically much harder than Baldesion

jade quartz
#

unless you count PotD 200 solo because of the luck and time involved

jade quartz
warped nest
#

Or grinding thaf flying dinosaur mount

jade quartz
#

it's your artifact gear

#

starter level 90 gear

warped nest
#

The pteranadon thingy?

delicate field
#

it's level 89, not 90

warped nest
#

I believe that requires you to grind each and every single one of your crafters

#

And blah blah blah, and it will take 2-3 months

#

Or something

#

That can be considered difficult too

cursive abyss
signal veldt
#

i noticed in my FC estate there are alot of houses but i cant find the npc that shows me whether some houses are up for sale or not
is this a permission thingy for my rank?

dense pier
#

what's the level 90 crafted gather gear called so I can look it up and see if I should buy some HQ pieces instead of doing this awful grind?

warped nest
#

Classical

#

Wait, no

#

My bad

jade quartz
#

ARR, HW and SB have the gear given by job quests

winter jetty
warped nest
#

I thought you meant lvl 90 crafted combat gears

jade quartz
#

ShB by Grenoldt during MSQ

warped nest
#

Sorry

jade quartz
#

and EW during MSQ.

leaden ginkgo
warped nest
#

Gameplay wise, it just means you will quickly get to finish off the story line

narrow jay
# delicate field it's level 89, not 90

It's a change to previous artifact-gear stuff. This is level 90 gear you can put on at 89, and while you're still 89 it will sync itself down ever so slightly stat-wise. Then if you want to be able to dye it, you can complete the role-quest for your class role (i.e. tank role quest for warrior/paladin/etc).

warped nest
#

Instead of getting side tracked for another 2 hour to grind gear just as you hit the climax of the msq

#

Which can be a big buzz kill

cursive abyss
#

and a 2 hour grind would just kill the pacing

jade quartz
cursive abyss
#

Is this the gear that the dude in the EW Cinematic was wearing?:

viscid sun
#

Actions that have a global cooldown are called GCD? Is that correct?

viscid sun
#

Thank you. Do any jobs have more than 1 GCD?

jade quartz
#

and the rest are called off-global cooldown, oGCD

jade quartz
cursive abyss
jade quartz
viscid sun
#

Sorry, what I mean to say is does any job have multiple sets of abilities with unique timers to each group

jade quartz
#

i.e. it's actually modeled as the back of a skirt

viscid sun
#

So in a sense mutliple GCD rotations

jade quartz
#

not multiple gcd rotations

#

but other actions that share cooldowns.

viscid sun
#

Yes that's what I mean

jade quartz
#

for example DRK's Abyssal Drain and Carve & Spit

#

they share the same cooldown

#

using one puts the other on cooldown

viscid sun
#

Okay so the nomenclature is that there is only one GCD, but other jobs may share a cooldown unrelated to GCD. Are those abilities still considered OGCD?

warped nest
#

There are some weaponskills (GCD) with their own cooldown

#

!action gnashing fang

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Gnashing Fang** : lvl 60 GNB (30.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Delivers an attack with a potency of 360. Additional Effect: Grants Ready to Rip
Duration: 10s
Cartridge Cost: 1
This weaponskill does not share a recast timer with any other actions.

jade quartz
#

yeah that's an additional cooldown on top of the GCD

remote lintel
#

no the GCD are any skills labeled "weaponskill" or "spell"

jade quartz
warped nest
#

GCD is basically your turn in a RPG

jade quartz
#

the one GCD

remote lintel
#

anything not on the GCD is called an oGCD

viscid sun
#

Damnit I'm sorry that's what I mean! lol

remote lintel
#

then yea

jade quartz
#

oGCDs are labeled "ability"

viscid sun
#

Okay what do I say if I'm referring to "All actions that are on the GCD"?

jade quartz
#

you say

warped nest
#

GCD

jade quartz
#

GCDs

remote lintel
#

GCDs

warped nest
#

GCD means both

viscid sun
#

Thank you, sorry for my dumbness.

ivory hull
#

guys uh if your static is consistently parsing green/grey in normal would that be good enough for p1s

jade quartz
#

GCd can refer to the concept of the shared timer, or just to any singular action that is itself on the GCD

warped nest
#

The actions that triggers GCD, and global cooldown itself

jade quartz
#

we call them GCD actions or just GCDs for short

warped nest
#

It's context sensitive

remote lintel
#

are you all new? @ivory hull

viscid sun
#

Got it. I will try to pay attention to the context. Thank you all for answering.

ivory hull
#

most people have been running weekly

#

i dont want to be an ass an leave but

uncut quarry
#

any performance difference b/w one handed and two handed staffs?

ivory hull
#

i have a feeling i'll be banging my head against the wall for a while

uncut quarry
jade quartz
#

like is it possible for them to clear with hard work and gradual improvement? of course

#

do you want to take part in that? up to you...

winter jetty
#

my pf clear for p1s, so no it's not necessarily a fail

zealous agate
#

Is it possible to level from 80 to 90 without doing the MSQ if it's my first job to 90? I want a 90 Job so I can do a bit of end game stuff and interact with those systems when I get bored of the MSQ ARR grind on my main, but I don't want to spoil the story if avoidable. Thanks

remote lintel
#

oh

winter jetty
#

oh i'm blind ignore me

remote lintel
#

@zealous agate you cant do any endgame stuff without clearing the msq first

jade quartz
leaden ginkgo
ivory hull
#

i have afeeling PF might be better since i'm hearing so many ez clear stories

#

wel for p1s at least

zealous agate
#

Gotcha okay makes sense

remote lintel
#

its a mixed bag but i cleared easily enough for P1S

#

if you know your own skill then you can just join the more advanced PFs and clear easily enough

jade quartz
#

If you get a bad PF the turnaround is faster than trying to change statics

remote lintel
#

^

jade quartz
#

also lets you be flexible with your raid times rather than needing to stick to raid schedule

patent citrus
#

you should not jump to savage first if you are worried

#

start with extreme

jade quartz
#

PF has its plus sides

ivory hull
#

nah i have been doing extremes and getting purple parses on them

viscid sun
#

What is PF?

#

Party Finder

viscid sun
#

Thank you.

jade quartz
#

i.e. party recruitment ads

ivory hull
#

might sound a bit high and mighty of me but i dont want to be the best person in my static lol

patent citrus
#

if your group can purple parse extreme

#

you shouldn't worry at all about savage

#

that grey parse on normal probably they are messing around

jade quartz
leaden ginkgo
#

Then play a different job with your static and try to clear with your main in pf

timber gate
#

Someone Have macro for this difficulty ?

jade quartz
#

then I would probably suggest not going with that static

twilit patrol
#

i just bought endwalker for playstation but in mogstation in my account status it still says buy endwalker, will it go away once i log in?

viscid sun
#

Did you put in the code?

remote lintel
#

it might take a bit to update

#

PS doesnt have to put in a code

ivory hull
#

yeah im actually thinking about leveling an alt for them if i want to continue lol

Ah okay

jade quartz

use food and pots

jade quartz

A static where rates of progress between members are too wildly difficult is usually a recipe for frustration

timber gate

Gear Lvl 90 ^^

twilit patrol
#

well hope it works out somehow

remote lintel
#

is it melded and do you have food and pots?

#

otherwise use teamcraft

#

has anyone done p3s? is it a lot harder than the previous two?

timber gate
jade quartz
#

Floor 3 usually is.

remote lintel
#

im not a crafter that's just the basic stuff you should have for high end crafting

if it's a fresh and chill learning party everyone will have low expectations so don't worry

carmine shell
#

its not even that

#

idk if im up to the task LMFAO

viscid sun
#

Is learning party something I can do for new duties??

remote lintel
#

@timber gate get the crafting role and look in the crafting lounge pins

it looks BUSY

jade quartz
carmine shell

^ exaclty

#

LMFAO

remote lintel
#

@viscid sun no because the msq stuff is piss easy

jade quartz
#

that's what progression's all about

remote lintel
#

we're talking about endgame content

jade quartz
#

no one's gonna make or join a "learning party" for casual content

which ones

#

all that gets added in 6.1 is alliance gear

It's either 590 or 595

jade quartz
remote lintel
#

oh

viscid sun
#

Do you guys zoom all the way out for combat?

jade quartz
#

yes

remote lintel
#

you kinda need to lol

#

i mean not in the open world but in duties

viscid sun
#

I'm trying to get comfortable with where my hotbars are in combat. I don't want to ever look down to look at things like the GCD but I do and then I tend to miss things.

remote lintel
#

i always look down at my hotbars and ive just accepted ill never not do it

viscid sun
#

; ;

winter jetty
#

move the enemy cast bar next to your hotbars and that pretty much solves it for me

I have a plugin that shows the gcd in the middle of the screen

viscid sun
#

@winter jetty Which one is that? LOL sorry

remote lintel
#

target progress bar

viscid sun
#

Thank you

winter jetty
#

you need to separate the ui element first

viscid sun
#

"Target Info (Progress Bar)"?

remote lintel
#

yes

viscid sun
#

Is there a shortcut to center a selected element in the HUD layout menu?

remote lintel
#

probably not

Bit of a stupid question, but is it possible to not have to use a gcd heal while healing wall to walls in a dungeon? I find myself running out of ogcds if the pull is real big and the tank is constantly under damage

ive had the same experience and it probably wont get better until we get more ilvls

keen mantle
#

whats main point of hunt trains?

remote lintel
#

to get hunt currency and tomes

keen mantle
#

ya whats the main thing to spend those hunt currency?

jade quartz
#

if you and the tank are both well-geared, and the tank is mitigating effectively

keen mantle
#

if it seems like a regular thing people do

jade quartz
#

But they also give tomestones

#

which is what a lot of people are there for.

#

Fastest way to cap tomestones for the week is to do a few hunt trains

remote lintel

and other random stuff from the hunt vendor

what's this Currency Exchange from Beast tribes?

is it outdated menus or could I unlock something to turn some of my extra Kojin currency into Sahagin currency?

you turn in beast tribe currency for items

Each beast tribes offers a variety of items

is this warning true?

The thing with BA is

#

You need a lot of folks to do it

#

What's the minimum

warped nest
#

And all of them needed to grind eureka all the way to the end

twilit patrol
delicate field
#

Does grinding eureka to the end take a while?

twilit patrol
#

i don't think u can pug it with randoms tho

warped nest
#

Yes

twilit patrol
#

took me about a week

warped nest
#

What silver said

#

You wanna join a discord dedicated for BA

twilit patrol
#

yeah the dungeon is brutal for sure

#

u need coordination for that

delicate field
#

I'm in a disc for DRS, joined a prog group. We got to the first boss lol

#

Is BA similarly hard to DRS?

warped nest
#

Just coordinating like what? 40 players to play together is pretty hard by itself

remote lintel
#

isnt it like 52

warped nest
#

I have no clue on the specifics tbh

#

I do know that it is more than 24

delicate field
#

Oh you haven't completed it before?

remote lintel
#

ive done neither BA or DRS but ive heard the mechanics themselves in BA arent hard

#

im not touching eureka lol

delicate field
#

Too grindy? Or no point?

#

I guess the only point is the relic and the mount

remote lintel
#

i tried it once and in like 9 hours i got maybe 10% of it completed total

delicate field
#

Oh damn lol

remote lintel
#

and it was boring the entire way

warped nest
#

People asked about it fairly often, so i have a some what rough understanding on what it is

remote lintel
#

you get a pretty cool mount from it tho

delicate field
#

Yeah Eureka seems very boring...

twilit patrol
#

is there a group where people group up for DR and castrum to farm?

delicate field
#

Nobody goes there either

warped nest
#

Hey, at least it is possible to solo most of the grind

remote lintel
#

in eureka??

delicate field
#

@twilit patrol yeah CEM. I've been running with them for a week

twilit patrol
#

eureka is boring? yeah gl with bozja then lol

#

CEM?

#

could u please give me a link

I did DR like 3 times with them so far

Hey so who gives me the starting quest to unlock dun scaith?

jade quartz
#

Koji Fox is localisation director

barren granite
#

you will need to complete the quest called Where Shadows Reign. This quest is available by talking to Stacia in The Sea of Clouds (X: 6 Y: 5).

jade quartz
#

But he does a lot of other stuff too

barren granite
#

ok, ya he seems like a prominent part of the games dev.

#

well maybe not Dev. but at least the dialogue. I also heard he writes some of the songs as well ?

glossy flare
#

he is involved in some music yeah

#

both writing and vocals

barren granite
#

ah cool

#

creative dude.

jade quartz
#

He is basically assistant loremaster and main lyricist

fluid cloak
#

Stacia is not there 🥲

#

I wonder what quest I haven't done lol I'm in shadowbringers right now lmao

glossy flare
#

since dun scaith is part of a questline you could be at any part of it

#

check your journal for your progress and compare with a list of the HW alliance raid quests

#

then you can jump back at whatever point you currently are

Does anyone know where I can get information on the best monk gear to equip at level 90?

(Out of the gear I have)

I'm currently doing the alexander story and unlocking it solo

general rule of thumb that always is applies is to go for higher ilvl

jade quartz
#

When you say the gear you have, what do you mean exactly

fluid cloak
#

Maybe I have to finish it first

glossy flare
#

when it comes to substats check with the balance

glossy flare
#

different questline entirely

jade quartz
#

If you’re doing savage then there are BiS sets on the Balance you can build towards with savage drops

#

If you’re not doing savage then you don’t really have options, you just go for highest ilevel

this is a list of all the quests related to the HW alliance raids

What's the meaning of 0/1/2 chests in pf?

mint lotus
#

So I'm trying to find the best gear for doing savage raids. I have a mix of Classical and Limbo gear.

twilit arch
#

2 chest indicates no one has cleared and you'll get full chest. 1 chest means between 1-4 players have cleared, 0 chest means 5-8 have cleared

jagged island
#

Oh ok

mint lotus
#

So higher ilvl is better even if the crit stat is lower?

jagged island
#

Thanks

zinc orbitBOT
glossy flare
#

this discord has both entry level and BiS lists

twilit arch
#

your main stat is generally strong than sub stats

glossy flare
#

both tentative for now however since it's still early

twilit arch
#

so higher ilvl is, by rule of thumb, going to be better than desired sub stats

#

There are very few niche situations where lower ilvl is desirable

mint lotus
#

OK, ty

#

What is BiS?

twilit arch
#

best in slot

glossy flare
#

best in slot

#

aka the best gear you could have

jade quartz
#

The best gear piece in every gear slot

glossy flare
#

that is something you work towards though, not something you worry about before entering a new raid

mint lotus
#

Interesting, it's saying all Classical gear is best

#

But I have some other lvl 580 gear which has higher crit

zinc orbitBOT
#
Materia & Melding FAQ

How do I unlock melding?

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

How can I get my gear melded?

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

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

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

Why is my meld giving +0 stats?

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

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

modest igloo
#

see how that gear only has 2 slots?

#

crafted gear can go up to 5

mint lotus
#

Yeah, I was told I need to level gather/crafting to be able to meld more

modest igloo
#

last two slots can only use the IX's tho

#

ye

#

either that or pay someone to do it for you

mint lotus
#

That would require direct interaction with a player, right?

modest igloo
#

yep

mint lotus
#

I don't have any friends who can do it

#

So I was working on gathering/crafting

modest igloo
#

sounds like a job for PF

mint lotus
#

Oh, I didn't know people used PF for that

modest igloo
#

yeahm you can advertise or just find an omnicrafter and pay them to meld for you

mint lotus
#

Is it a lot of work to level up myself?

modest igloo
#

it can be

#

if you have gil and leves to burn its ez pz

#

if not it can take a while

mint lotus
#

I have 10 million gil

#

I don't mind spending a bunch of it. I mostly got it from selling Materia X

modest igloo
#

i find alchemist pretty good for leves since a lot of their mats were super cheap

mint lotus
#

I already started woodworking and botany

#

I heard they were cheap

modest igloo
#

at least on crystal, woodworking was the expensive one

#

but thats marketboard PVP for ya

mint lotus
#

Hm

#

So is the fastest way to just disregard quests and craft stuff from materials I buy?

modest igloo
#

buying HQ leves mats and just giving them to the quest person was my "fast" way of leveling up

#

esp the triple turn-ins

mint lotus
#

Do I only need lvl 90 crafting to pentameld, not gathering too?

modest igloo
#

i'd imagine theres prolly a guide for leveling in the #resources channel?

modest igloo
mint lotus
#

Oh

#

yes i use a pan to meld my gun

This is an unrelated question, but I play on a Japanese server and I'm in a Discord where lately everyone is talking crap about the ppl in their party and how bad they are. The negative conversation just really made me not enjoy being on voice. Does this happen on English servers often too? I started playing FF for the social aspect rather than the gaming aspect. I didn't to encounter as many competitive people like with eSports games

modest igloo
#

yeah theres a reason where voice is not longer on this server

#

but also that there hasnt been any big raiding content since 2020

#

with 5.4

twilit arch
#

the reason why VC is not enabled is cos endwalker released

how do you unlock leves in old sharlayan

#

I definitely noticed a change in mood on the Discord server I'm in. Everyone is so serious and trash talking their party members and even people from certain countries

#

crafting and gathering only, iirc

#

you talk with the leve NPC, maybe, I don't even remember if you need to unlock them

leaden ginkgo
#

you need to unlock it but only Disciples of the H/Land and lvl 80 at it

forest sage
#

I feel they were just unlocked from the start once you reached the city? but otherwise it'd just be a quest on top of the leve NPC

twilit arch
#

its a quest to unlock it

#

any sense in farming the normal pande raids if you have access to crafted gear other than glam?

open rivet
vestal cobalt
#

oh is the weapon higher than 580? Thanks

regal pawn
#

it's 590
600 when augmented

vestal cobalt
#

ok nice, just p4n for weekly chores then. Thanks again!

twilit arch
#

if you're doing savage, you can get the tomestone for that weapon from it instead

boreal storm
#

From P2s

vestal cobalt
#

cant commit to savage rn due to no static / being active during dead hours. So the ex2 weapon will have to suffice till the p4n weapon i guess

twilit arch
#

not really accurate to call it p4n weapon

green pagoda
#

@hot eagleredmage still the best climber for solo potd?

twilit arch
#

its just an alt path to getting the astronomy weapon

Btw am I the only one who gets a little confused when extracting materia? like why the window shows the item has materia in it, makes me think I am extracting the materia already inside the gear (yes I know it doesn't do that but can't help wonder if people get confused like this too)

boreal storm
#

Well when you extract

#

It mentions the spiritbond resetting

leaden ginkgo
#

that's fair and all but tell a newbie this and they ask "what's a spiritbond?" if they even ask it

open rivet
#

most classes can clear solo nowadays tho, even tho you'll be bashing your head against a wall

Can u get token if u join savage you cleared?

Nope

uncut quarry

open rivet

#

Can i do diffrent relics from diffrent DLC (HW, ARR) at the same time or do i have to choose 1

faint flare
#

Yes you can

open rivet
boreal storm
brittle valve
faint flare
#

Yes

#

That's how you learn literally anything

#

A good player has failed and died way more than a bad player

#

You need to know the limits and you learn that by doing and failing

#

You WILL die and wipe alot during prog

twilit patrol
#

is there a way to share my macro that are under shared tab on my console?

mint lotus
#

I bought all the Classical gear for monk, but my DPS isn't high enough to beat the dummy. I guess I need to pentameld. Not sure if my rotation is that bad

open rivet
mint lotus
#

I'm just trying to do the first circle savage

faint flare
#

Your rotation is shit

#

Also

#

!faq sss

zinc orbitBOT
#
Why Stone, Sky, Sea is a bad metric to measure DPS
  1. SSS does not account for a job’s RDPS contribution via skills like Battle Voice
  2. SSS is a 3 minute burst window where you adjust your rotation to fit in that period and does not reflect a realistic raid scenario
  3. Different jobs will be in peaks and troughs of their burst windows
  4. Different jobs have different SSS dps requirements
  5. SSS is not accurately tuned for the jobs they are supposed to represent in most cases
  6. 3 minutes is short enough to be able to be affected by lucky DH Crit bursts
  7. Certain jobs gain dps by having additional party members like Dancer/Monk
mint lotus
#

Oh, it's true I get more DPS with other party members, but I think I should be able to beat the dummy

#

I don't like you calling my rotation "shit". Is that even allowed?

#

I don't take offense to being bad, just the language

warm snow
#

We all curse here

#

But yeah if you can't even beat the dummy as a dps your rotation is pretty bad

#

It's scaled for min ilevel

open rivet
mint lotus
#

OK, ty

#

The truth is it's not just the language I think, it's being criticized in such a harsh way

#

I know it's not personal

open rivet
#

feel free to take it up with a manager moderator

mint lotus
#

It's OK

#

Any advice for how I can check my rotation? I did read a guide and I thought I was following it properly

#

I still don't know how to do the opening, just the normal rotation

boreal storm
#

Look at 7 on the kupo thing

faint flare
#

Openers are very important

#

As they set up your rotation

lone violet
#

Hey what does phases mean when people are talking about raids ?

faint flare
#

Sections of the fight

lone violet
#

So when people say learning phase 2 means they are good up to phase 2 ?

faint flare
#

Usually after add spawns or a part where the boss jumps away

boreal storm
#

They have transitions and everything

faint flare
#

Yes they know phase 1

lone violet
#

Ahhhh ok

#

Me as an trial, I noticed its oddly quiet, even in the big cities.
I know that I cant use /shout but I am curious if I also cant see other people use /shout

faint flare
#

No

boreal storm
#

Most people talk to FC members if anything

faint flare
#

Or linkshells

boreal storm
#

Or shout when it’s something actually important happening

south wadi
#

FC = Free Company?
What are linkshells?

faint flare
#

Private chat rooms for things

warm snow
#

People talk in public around limsa and gridania aetheryte plazas but not much otherwsie

#

How do I exchange mettle for attack buffs in Zadnor?

warm snow
#

Finish Zadnor story first

faint flare
#

Finish Dalriada then talk to the commander in Zadnor

warm snow
#

Then it will be explained to you

faint flare
#

Or commissioner guy whatever

lavish vortex
#

Already did, came back to the game after a long time and I forgot lol

#

I cannot find the guy

#

Guy in Zadnor camp
