[twilit arch]

did try to do the aether current quests at the start, but like eventually just stopped and focused on msq after like 83 or so

and didnt hit a wall

[oak quarry]

starting endwalker msq at level 86 :)

[remote lintel]

[oak quarry]

jk i'll probably play my 80 RPR for most of it and switch back to WAR for dungeons/trials

[woeful raft]

how hard is savage compared to ex 2

maybe p4s vs ex 2

never done savage before but thinking about trying it out

[heavy wadi]

p4s is much more difficult in comparison.

which is why you can't really jump to the end of the tier.

[woeful raft]

how about the first three

[heavy wadi]

p1s... imo it's easier, p2s is more difficult and p3s a lot more difficult.

[woeful raft]

oh ok ty

[glossy flare]

In general the fights do get more difficult further down the tier, as is the case right now

[obsidian patio]

The first two savages of a tier are generally as hard or slightly harder than the average extreme fight

[glossy flare]

So jumping into p1s is a good way to get into savage

then work your way along the raid

[heavy wadi]

if you can do ex2 easily then you'll be fine in p1s

[woeful raft]

yeah thats why i was planning to do just was trying to gauge the difficulty of clearing the whole tier

thanks

[remote lintel]

i mean the last 2 floors spike in difficulty

[woeful raft]

and even the easiest ultimate which i heard is uwu? is way harder than p4s?

[remote lintel]

ofc

[woeful raft]

i got a long way to go

[remote lintel]

ultimates are the hardest content in the entire game

but you have 6 months to do savage so like

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[warm snow]

Launch EXs are piss easy

So they're bad comparisons

P3s seems to be regarded as the nastiest fight of the tier so far, I'm only on P4s p1 so I can't say for sure

[leaden ginkgo]

Why cant i join the voice channels

[remote lintel]

because theyre closed

[oak quarry]

locked because they can't moderate spoilers

[remote lintel]

is the first part not as hard?

i thought it would still be harder

[oak quarry]

there's a pin about it somewhere that i can't be arsed to find

[warm snow]

P4s P1 is more annoying than difficult compared to p3s

Our mt is a gnb and hates the fucker

[oak quarry]

jk i was arsed
#announcements message

[warm snow]

Scary thing is he basically does as much weaving as me, the bard

[remote lintel]

huh

well at least im not gnb

[regal pawn]

What would be the most annoying/difficult thing about P3S? 🤔

[warm snow]

Keeping everyone alivr

[ripe hound]

I think just lots of mechanics to learn?

[regal pawn]

my sage soul crystal felt that

[ripe hound]

Like every mechanic require 8 people alive or you die

[regal pawn]

We got past the adds in the 2h of prog we did today so there's that

[warm snow]

Some awkward af mechs to learn too even if we're invuln cheesing firestorms

[leaden ginkgo]

Ok the channels should have been opened in the 3rd

But they arent

[obsidian patio]

“No earlier than”

[heavy wadi]

Most of the vc regulars made their own discord

join that

[regal pawn]

will be closing voice chat for a minimum of one month from the start of Endwalker starting 12/3 at 1am PST and ending no earlier than 1/3/22.

[warm snow]

Sigh

[heavy wadi]

this server really doesn't benefit at all from having VC channels, it's just far too difficult to moderate.

[leaden ginkgo]

Lol ok

[obsidian patio]

#600335165134471181 message

For the start of discussion about it

[leaden ginkgo]

Oh ok

Thanks

So I think I've lost my Lucian prince set, any way I can get it back

[obsidian patio]

Did you try /isearch lucian

[heavy wadi]

if you did actually lose it and you did do the event you should be able to get it back from a calamity salvager

[fluid oracle]

why am i unable to meld a materia to a cloth item?

[regal pawn]

Does it have slots?

Is the item high enough item level for the materia?

[fluid oracle]

yes, materia has to match the item lvl or? the item is lvl 18 but the materia is lvl 30

[glossy flare]

Does the item have slots for materia?

Not every item does

[regal pawn]

the materia specifies an item level
and the item has to be at or above the item level specified

[obsidian patio]

You need grade 1 materia for items below item level 30

[fluid oracle]

brb will have to look up where to get those 😭

[regal pawn]

so this

won't go on this

Despite the jerkin having slots

Though

I would say just ignore materia

At those levels, the benefits are negligible

[fluid oracle]

hm? yes i know what it looks like but i need one for the weaver quest q_q

[regal pawn]

Ah

[half hare]

2 tenacity for a gatherer nice

the quest asks you grade 3 materia of w/e it is no more no less pop it in your item they asked for and bang ya done

[fluid oracle]

i already have grade 1 materia. you mean grade 2? is it dark matter?

[half hare]

as in rank 3 look at the SS goth sowed its battledance matiera II aka 2 you want w/e matiera they wanted at III

[regal pawn]

it's Materia Concerns

they just need 1 grade 1 materia

on a cotton acton

[half hare]

oh that the first materia quest

[regal pawn]

Any grade 1 materia will work for that

[fluid oracle]

ohhhh i have to look where to get I meteria then O_O

[regal pawn]

🤔 i assume this is a mistake?

[half hare]

you get it from extracting it from your gear thats 100% spiritbonded

[fluid oracle]

no i mean what i asked i just dont understand materias at all 😶

[regal pawn]

[type] Materia [grade]

[half hare]

dark matter dw about its just for repairs

[fluid oracle]

i havent spiritbonded anything, i might have kept putting them in my chest before that

[tepid stag]

is ilvl linear in scaling as it gets higher or are there certain points when it jumps in stats

[regal pawn]

lvl 50/60/70/80/90 is when stats will have a jump from previous levels

As there's multiple tiers at level caps

but other than that, it's fairly linear afaik

[fluid oracle]

for me? tyty

[gritty oracle]

If I NG+ an expansion, can I enter areas I haven't unlocked within the NG+ yet?

[obsidian patio]

Depends on the exact areas

[twilit arch]

Yes, ish

[obsidian patio]

If you mean overworld zones, then yes

But for instances like the waking sands, or stuff like that, then no

[twilit arch]

like for instance Yanxia, if you're trying to move between the moon gates before the appropriate msq you can't physically go thru them

but you can still teleport to the house of the fierce iirc

[gritty oracle]

And I'm guessing not yet unlocked zones are in their earliest possible state.

[twilit arch]

yes

[sudden dock]

is there an event scheduled after all saints wake?

[terse nymph]

I wonder will there ever be sub discount?

[manic crest]

any idea what time the game is back on sale on steam?

[tropic bear]

where exactly do I spend poetics for lvl 70 gear?

[faint flare]

Never ever

[boreal storm]

Kugane/Rhalgr after 4.0

[tropic bear]

do you know the name of the npc in rhaglr? I've been asking around and none of them sell it and the others won't talk to me

[faint flare]

Enna

Inside the building with 3 traders

[half hare]

have you done your SB msq?

[boreal storm]

They totally haven’t

[jagged tartan]

Hi! Soon to be new player. This is also my first time on Discord. For future reference and so I don’t irritate others, is this where I should be asking for tips/questions? 😊

[regal pawn]

here or #beginner-lounge works

here if you want a straight answer without much chit chat

[terse nymph]

Just be lalafell everyone will forgive your mistakes

[tropic bear]

shadowbringers or stormblood? I'm most of the way through stormblood I think

[half hare]

stormblood

[boreal storm]

4.0 is base stormblood

You have no reason to buy the poetics gear until you’ve beat it

[jagged tartan]

Noted haha

[jagged tartan]

Thank you!

[mortal aurora]

Why cany my chocobo fly in heavensward

[regal pawn]

!faq flying

[zinc orbit]

Flying FAQ

'How can I unlock Flying?'

Flying is unlocked in A Realm Reborn zones simply by completing the level 50 story quest 'The Ultimate Weapon'.

Flying is further unlocked in the expansions through the collecting of a zone's Aether Currents, with every zone having ten 'green' Aether Currents found in the overworld and five 'yellow' Aether Currents obtained through the MSQ and side quests marked with a plus sign. Azys Lla is the only zone to not have any green Aether Currents. You must collect all Aether Currents in a zone to be able to fly.

'Where can I find the green Aether Currents?'

Upon obtaining the Story Quest 'Divine Intervention' you get the Aether Compass, which is a key item you can use to locate the nearest non-quest Aether Current. This can be set to your Hotbar for ease of use. Alternatively, you can use this website to show the location of all Aether Currents for a zone. http://heavenswhere.com/

[regal pawn]

2nd part of "how can i unlock flying"

[half hare]

dw theirs no 3 month+ wait for these

[regal pawn]

MSQ will give you a compass and remind you of that

you can find it here

[viscid lake]

Should I not be running ventures or take any other actions before doing the Datacentre move later today? Also, should/do I have to wait for the end of maintanence to do it?

[jade quartz]

Datacentre transfer isn't available until about 20 hours after the datacentre actually comes up

ventures should be fine though

[tough gulch]

If you are switching to the Oceania data centres do you have to disband/transfer over your fc?

[ruby tundra]

I got a Q! (Prevent EW spoilers pls)

Back when i Pre-ordered Endwalker
it said something about an ... idk Island paradise? (don't remember precisely)

It's still not out yet, right?
Is it known what it'll be?

[robust crow]

we know very little about it

[jade quartz]

Island Sanctuary yeah. It's coming in a future patch, maybe 6.1 but not confirmed

[robust crow]

it's not out until 6.1 or later

[fossil sentinel]

in YT videos I see that the glamour dresser/mirror shows quite a few pieces of gear available to deposit. The only pieces I'm seeing as available to deposit are my AF1 gear and lvl1 "story" armors, what's the deal? why can't I see the other pieces of gear to create glamour plates?

[robust crow]

wrong thing

that's the armoire

go to the glamour dresser

you need glamour prisms to deposit gear into the glamour dresser

[ruby tundra]

Oh so it's not known if it's housing or sth yet?

[pulsar kayak]

the more melds you have on an item, the faster you spirit bond right?

[jade quartz]

Here's what's been said about it:

-Minions can free-roam on the island
-There's some form of raising animals and crops
-You can "choose buildings" and there might be some degree of "furniture" placement (unclear if this means using the same furnishing we can use in houses)
-"No competitive elements" including gil-related stuff

oh and

-can visit each other's islands

It's not housing

But it could feel like a replacement for housing

[robust crow]

hopefully that also means you don't have to purchase limited plots of land

[jade quartz]

Yes that's confirmed

Everyone gets an island, it's instanced

No competition over limited plots

[ruby tundra]

Thx for the info :>

[cobalt pagoda]

so in how many hours will the 6.08 patch drop?

[tough gulch]

When you switch over to the new data centre you have to empty your plots of furniture and some other bits and pieces, do you have to disband your fc as well or does that follow you over to the new data centre?

[spice imp]

what am i doing wrong here? why is this guy saying theyre not ready? i had two of the red numbers blue earlier and he still said this

[rugged thicket]

do !maint in #kupo-bot-spam

[robust crow]

you need all 3 stats green for that mission

[spice imp]

do they all have to be blue?

[robust crow]

can't have any red

you prob won't be able to do it until level 45

[spice imp]

how do i do that? i had no idea green stats existed

[robust crow]

on every member

[cobalt pagoda]

@rugged thicket oh I thought it was normal maint not the patch drop :3 thanks

[rugged thicket]

it is patch

[faint flare]

It is a normal maintenance

[jade quartz]

I don't think you're forced to disband before transferring, but the FC will not follow you over

[boreal storm]

Look at the required stats to complete the mission

[robust crow]

green as in meets the minimum number

[faint flare]

We only have maintenance for patches

[merry merlin]

Train your squad and have them run lower level missions. Their stats increase when they level up

[robust crow]

on your screenshot you only have one number green

[spice imp]

OH you mean blue ok

[robust crow]

idk how that appears blue to you but ok

[tough gulch]

Ty so much! i was a bit confused since we are all moving over and had no idea how it worked

[regal pawn]

Screen calibration

[boreal storm]

Looked teal but yeah, red bad

[jade quartz]

that is blue

you must have bluelight filter on

[spice imp]

so they will all be blue if i level them up + train them

[boreal storm]

If their stats are right for the mission, if not switch up your team

[spice imp]

because i kept trying to train them and i could only get two numbers blue

[mortal aurora]

Paladin rotation at 54 is just Shield lob>fast blade>circle of scorn>Fight or flight>Riot blade>spirits within>goring blade>repeat combo

Right?

[faint flare]

FoF before CoS

So Cos is buffed

[mortal aurora]

Ahh right that's what I was missing

[robust crow]

you probably won't be able to get all 3 stats met until everyone is like 45 or higher

[faint flare]

You use rage of Halone when you don't need.to reapply goring blade

You do 2 combos inbetween gorings

[cobalt pagoda]

well F me it looks like the 6.08 will drop next month??? ughhhhhh I still can’t play this game because of the dumb audio issue they promis it will be fixed again with this patch!

[faint flare]

It's tonight

That's what the maint is for

[boreal storm]

Look at #lodestone-news-na

[robust crow]

6.08 is tomorrow lol

[cobalt pagoda]

eh? I’m getting mixed reply :/ I did look at lodestone and it said it’s maint for in preparation of 6.08 not that 6.08 will drop

do I read it right?

[faint flare]

That's what they mean when the patch is this maint

[heavy wadi]

That's what they say when the patch is dropping this maint.

There's no conflicting information or wording.

[faint flare]

Cause they need the bring the servers down to put a patch in and all...

[jade quartz]

6.08 drops at the end of the maintenance

hence why they say the maint itself is "in preparation for 6.08"

[regal pawn]

In order to implement Patch 6.08 and to open the new Oceanian Data Center, we will be performing maintenance on all Worlds at the time below, during which FINAL FANTASY XIV will be unavailable.

In order to implement Patch 6.08

[heavy wadi]

actually it says In order to implement Patch 6.08 and nothing about preparing to implement the patch.

[cobalt pagoda]

oh ok good that I read it wrong XD

[astral cairn]

any suggestions on reducing Duty Finder wait time? anything i can change on the settings?

[cobalt pagoda]

cuz I wanna play the damn game!!! T^T I swear if it wasn’t that I need moeny for something else I will had upgraded my pc so to hope the audio issues ain’t manifesting on brand new pc

[faint flare]

!faq dflanguages

[zinc orbit]

Why does it constantly take hours for my queue to pop

If you're on the EU or JP servers, it might be prudent to use the ⚙️ to change your duty finder settings to allow more players speaking different languages to be matched with you!

[faint flare]

Put these on if you're in EU/JP

[astral cairn]

ok thx 😄

[small sierra]

Weird, I received "Notice of Official Caution due to Violation of the FINAL FANTASY XIV User Agreement" email from Square enix

It says spam violation on 1-24-2022 but i never even logged in today

Anyone else received this?

[regal pawn]

triple check the email

[heavy wadi]

if you didn't actually log in today your account may be compromised

either that or it's for an older offense.

[regal pawn]

change password
get 2fa if you don't ahve it yet

[small sierra]

I just did

[regal pawn]

better safe than sorry

[small sierra]

Thanks, I don't really talk that much in chat so it's just weird to me

I'll change password might as well

[astral cobalt]

unlocked "Delubrum Reginae", does my ilvl matters or is it synched ?

[faint flare]

Synced like bojza

[astral cobalt]

then I should be able to solo it as whichever job ?

[faint flare]

If you use pure essenses, strong dps actions

[regal pawn]

or just braindead it as a warrior

[polar badge]

cmiiw it takes forever solo because they haven't really scaled it well to how dead it has become

[faint flare]

The person who soloed with war took the entire lockout, used the best actions possible and barely met pieces enrage

[polar badge]

They just unlocked it..

[astral cobalt]

thanks, any recommended party size for a first "tranquil" clear ?

[regal pawn]

Ideally i'd say you at least get a light party to make it much easier

that would be 4, 1 tank, 1 healer, 2 deeps

though it's possible to just go 1 tank and 3 deeps

[astral cobalt]

ok thanks; I'll try tomorrow at a more reasonnable hour

[regal pawn]

and bring some kind of a cleansing action to cleanse the doom
or be warrior with big shield energy
DRK could also work cause TBN

[normal oasis]

if a friend wants my UI layout, is there a file I can send them? from my character folder or whatever

[regal pawn]

C:\Users\[username]\Documents\My Games\FINAL FANTASY XIV - A Realm Reborn\FFXIV_buncharandomshite
UISAVE.DAT iirc

[normal oasis]

ok cool, thanks

[regal pawn]

and keybind.dat if they want your keybinds too

for hotbars and stuff

[cosmic pilot]

Is there a reason why some people selling meals with 1-10 stack? I saw same people selling same item with small stack at the same price too

[faint flare]

Cause some people only want a small amount of food so selling in smaller stacks can move stuff faster

[cosmic pilot]

I see

[faint flare]

Not everyone wants to buy 99 of an item

[leaden ginkgo]

For unlocking old content (ARR EX Trials and Hard dungeons) do I have to clear them all? Or as soon as I unlock it will start showing in Duty Roulettes?

[grim hound]

new raiders may not want to commit to spending a whole lot of gil just to try out savage

[regal pawn]

once you unlock it, they'll show up

[twilit arch]

also generally don't need 99 stack of food

[faint flare]

Since food lasts 45mins with fc buff you don't need that much food

[regal pawn]

That means even just having the quest at "Use Duty Finder for X" is enough for it to show up

Source: I got a trial i didn't clear yet in trials roulette
Promptly got teleported to quest hand in location after it finished while doing dailies

[elder vault]

if you purchase the starter edition, can you also the purchase the complete edition later for the rest of the expacs, or do you have to buy all the expacs separately?

[faint flare]

You just buy endwalker

It gives you the rest

You physically can't buy the older expansions

[elder vault]

they're reopening sales in a couple days

[faint flare]

Yes

That doesn't affect expansions

[regal pawn]

Starter + Endwalker
Complete

These 2 will get you everything

[faint flare]

They remove older expansions when the new one comes ouy

[regal pawn]

So you can just buy Starter
And then buy Endwalker later once you finish Heavensward

[elder vault]

starter only goes up to heavensward though

[faint flare]

Cause the bundle them into the new one

[regal pawn]

Endwalker gives you stormblood and shadowbringers

[elder vault]

gotchuuu

[faint flare]

This is stated in the store pages

[regal pawn]

Starter - ARR + HW
Latest expansion - Everything after HW

[clever ice]

Can someone explain to me how world transferring works? I've never done it before but will need to once OCE comes out

[leaden ginkgo]

Are servers on maintance now?

[leaden ginkgo]

Today

[clever ice]

not yet

[regal pawn]

maint is in just under 3h

[clever ice]

Does anyone know how strict it'll be to get into a preferred world? will it be like a 30 minute thing or is it easy to get into one?

[boreal storm]

There aren’t any preferred worlds

[elder vault]

you have about 2 and a half hours before maintenance

[clever ice]

Oceania servers when they come up is what I mean, not any existing ones

I assume they all start as preferred

[boreal storm]

They’re new, so you get a little something extra for going over

[regal pawn]

New is basically preferred

[faint flare]

They won't change for a few months

[clever ice]

Is this for certain? I had plans right as maint ends but I don't wanna miss the double exp boost for 90 days if I go out and miss the preferred world status

[faint flare]

Yes

It's not a short thing

[twilit arch]

usually world transfer is instantaneous

[faint flare]

Literally 0 rush

[twilit arch]

and ye the new world have that status for several months generally

[clever ice]

hmm okay, if it's a long lasting thing then I won't stress over it thank you, I was worried it would be like first in first served

[warm snow]

World statuses don't usually change until a new major or semi major patch comes out.

Unless there's some serious ass imbalance

[twilit arch]

nah, SE aint that cold

[warm snow]

Iirc people fucking nuked cactuar following the bald man

I think it was cactuar

[clever ice]

Dope, and how will I know which ones are preferred? do I have to transfer through a website or in game?

[warm snow]

[faint flare]

All OCE will be

World status and restrictions

https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/worldstatus/

[warm snow]

!faq worldtype

[zinc orbit]

Types of Worlds

Standard: This World has an average amount of players. Standard Worlds have no bonuses or long-term restrictions active.

Preferred: This World has a lower than average amount of players. Marked with a star, Preferred Worlds grant new characters a +100% experience boost for every class to level 70 for at least 90 days, 10 Silver Chocobo Feathers to spend on gear at the Calamity Salvager, and a one-time deal of 15 days of free subscription for hitting level 30.

Congested: This World has an overabundance of players. Congested Worlds are completely locked off from new characters and Home World transfers.

New: This World has been recently added to the game and has a low amount of players. Along with the incentives that Preferred Worlds have, New Worlds will also give players who hit level 30 one million Gil once per datacenter. Home World Transfers to New Worlds are free of charge.

Legacy: This World has existed since 1.0. Legacy Worlds have no bonus of their own and can be Standard/Preferred/Congested.

[warm snow]

All oce will be new

[twilit arch]

but that said, the world status page indicates whether they're new/preferred/standard/congested

[clever ice]

ah okay, so i just look on there for one that's preferred

[warm snow]

That should cover everythibf

[boreal storm]

Any of the OCE will be

[warm snow]

New = preferred with extra benefits

[boreal storm]

Because they’re brand new

[warm snow]

If you end up wanting to go oce

[clever ice]

Ah okay so new is just as good as preferred and I'll still get the double exp boost?

[twilit arch]

yes

[clever ice]

Cool

[faint flare]

.

[clever ice]

So do I use that link listed before of the sites to transfer?

I'm not paid yet so I'm not getting any prompts but I'll be buying as soon as maint ends

[faint flare]

It's on mogstation

Home world transfer

[clever ice]

Ah okay, I can't view the page cause I'm not a paid member yet

[steep egret]

transfer to new worlds is free

[clever ice]

I assume as soon as I pay it'll pop up? there's no like week long cool down to use it?

[steep egret]

well, as long as you own the game, so i guess its that

[faint flare]

You need to own the game to transfer yes

[steep egret]

free trial players can't transfer afaik

yea

[clever ice]

So if I buy it there's no cooldown to being able to transfer though? that's my only concern

[faint flare]

No

[steep egret]

id assume so, no reason to think there is one

[boreal storm]

You can’t transfer for 3 months after doing so but that’s a non-issue

[faint flare]

The Cooldown for THAT character starts when you transfer

[warm snow]

There is from preferred servers iirc, but idk how that goes for going to new servers

[clever ice]

You mean after I already transfer I can't for 3 months?

[steep egret]

i thought it was 3 days, not months

[faint flare]

That's for making a new character on a new/preferred server

[clever ice]

As long as I can transfer as soon as I pay then I dont mind lmao

[faint flare]

You will

[twilit arch]

its 3 days if you transfer to a standard world

90 days if you transfer to a new/preferred

[clever ice]

Awesome thank you. sorry for all the questions I'm just new to this and didn't wanna mess up

[warm snow]

The 3 months is to stop people transferring for the double exp and trying to fuck off

[clever ice]

That makes sense

i'm just excited to finally play with no lag, the double exp is just a nice boost

Especially since I'm trying to level all classes

[leaden ginkgo]

Digital collector's worth it?

[boreal storm]

Do you want the items

[twilit arch]

CE is entirely up to you to decide if its worth

its just cosmetic items (barring heavensward's technically, since that comes with a fantasia)

[boreal storm]

An account wide fanta, if you didn’t know

Server Transfer Information

Make sure to follow the steps in order to complete transfer service:
World Transfer Service

[wraith vapor]

Sorry! Gonna use that channel next time

[faint flare]

During maintenance as usual

[celest quartz]

Just, sometime during maintenance?

[faint flare]

Yes

[celest quartz]

I ask because I plan to go to bed around the start of maintenance. If the notes are up then Id stay up to read them.

[obsidian patio]

Probably within the first hour or so

[faint flare]

Not like they'll vanish from existence after maint is over or anything

[boreal storm]

It’s mostly just gonna be skill changes

[covert marlin]

what's the best way to get fieldcraft demimateria III? :O

I'm in post HW if that helps

[celest quartz]

yeah but Im impatient xD

[gaunt fable]

which of the duty roulettes is the one i want to spam ||to get aphorism and astronomy tomes?|| endgame spoiler

[twilit arch]

expert

[boreal storm]

The tome names aren’t a spoiler

[craggy tinsel]

all of them on a max level but especially expert

[gaunt fable]

oh i gotta go ||unlock the other 2 dungeons||

[obsidian patio]

Desynth Artisan gear from your grand company or check for any low-price glamour outfits on the MB

Those usually desynth into fieldcraft 3

[boreal storm]

You can also just buy it with scrips

[covert marlin]

thank you!

[obsidian patio]

Depending on prices, also consider the token turn-in method of getting Artisan gear in Mor Dhona from Talan

[amber echo]

for potd in wondrous tails do you just need to clear 1 floor or 10 floors

[obsidian patio]

10 floors

AKA a whole floor set or instance

[crystal otter]

I just got Yoshimitsu Novus blades, and got them soulglazed, what's the best sort of duty to level them up quick, and anyone know roughly how long it might take?

[glad cosmos]

What type of armor do samurai wear?

And red mages?

[twilit arch]

the ol' tried and true method was running tam tara or ifrit normal, but honestly anything that's ARR that you can solo quickly is fine

[faint flare]

Striking and casting respectively

[twilit arch]

brayflox hard mode is generally a fairly quick dungeon to run

or you can like double dip on things, and do ST while working on shadowbringers relic

[glad cosmos]

Can they use glamour with armor they can't wear?

[twilit arch]

no

you can only glamour what you can wear as that job

[pure zenith]

and the glamour has to be at or below the level of the gear its being glamed on

[clever ice]

Does anyone know if the double exp from moving to a new world counts for Crafting classes as well or just jobs?

[glad cosmos]

💀

[twilit arch]

counts for crafters/gatherers as well

[glad cosmos]

I want to plan a judge set but there's only the ones from laws order lmao

[clever ice]

Awesome thank you, that'll help a lot

[boreal storm]

Any exp source gets doubled

[clever ice]

Killer, sounds good

[covert marlin]

Stone Vigil is another very good dungeon due to the lack of wall if your gear is good enough

[warm snow]

There's a laws order set for every role

[crystal otter]

Okie, ty Kaelwyrn and Prisu ♥

[glad cosmos]

Yes but i don't wanna use a full set lmao

[warm snow]

Then get creative

[glad cosmos]

I should stop making dumb questions I haven't even started playing yet

[sudden dock]

do the tomestones of astronomy from wondrous tails fall under the weekly 450 limit?

[regal pawn]

Yes

[boreal storm]

450 period, no cheating

[regal pawn]

Which is why they're a bit of a meh pick

[mellow ocean]

Hey all, a friend is trying to pick up culinarian. But she's unable to pick up the level 1 quest, she's met all the prerequisite for it (Disciple of war/magic lvl 10+). Anyone have info on how to fix?

[boreal storm]

Lv 10 Job quest

[robust crow]

she needs to be level 10 on a combat job

and yeah job quest

[mellow ocean]

Yeah I think she's got a couple level 70 characters already

but the quest is reddened for her? o-o

[boreal storm]

Is it the “Do you want to be a- ” quest?

Or a culinarian quest

[mellow ocean]

I think so, the initial quest to unlock culinarian

[regal pawn]

Ask her if she already has a culinarian weapon in her armory chest

[mellow ocean]

mhm kay, lemme ask. And she said its the "My first skillet" quest

[regal pawn]

Yup.

She already has cul

Just has to equip the skillet

[mellow ocean]

ooo, ty

yup that solved it. Thanks, its been a while for me so idr ><

[mortal aurora]

so for pld at level 60 i just replace rage of halone with royal authority and never us RoH again?

[regal pawn]

Yup

[faint flare]

It literally upgrades into royal authority

The exact same button

You'll never have RA and RoH together at the same time

[cosmic pilot]

Is there a checklist site where I can log which contents I haven't unlocked and so on?

[boreal storm]

Give your trait menu a look if you haven’t

[plush hound]

Shouldn't have to. You get a trait that upgrades it automatically.

[craggy tinsel]

to unlock final coil of bahamut raids do you need to just beat second coil turn 4

[regal pawn]

Yeah

[craggy tinsel]

perfect, thanks

[pure copper]

if i bought the game via steam, can i still use time cards? or does it have to be steam pay sub time

[twilit arch]

you can use time cards, ye

sometimes though the mogstation site is a bit weird for steam accounts

try using an incognito or different browser if you aren't seeing the option for time cards

[boreal storm]

I usually see the time card option when I check mogstation on chrome

[silent raptor]

I have pc gaming gtx 1660 super gigabyte amd ryzen 5 3600 16 gb ram do you u have solution bosst fps

[pulsar kayak]

hey guys

i pinned a recipe to history

[pure copper]

also, is it possible to get the 90 day sub discount or whatnot if i pay via steam?

[pulsar kayak]

but where do i see the pin list?

[pure copper]

i noticed itheres a discount for 90 and 120 days, so was curious

[craggy tinsel]

favorites

[pulsar kayak]

ahhh okay

it's separated by craft type lol

[craggy tinsel]

ye

[twilit arch]

What do you mean by discount?

[craggy tinsel]

reduced cost per month when bought in bulk

not really a discount, just a smart business practice tbh

[twilit arch]

cos 90 days is slightly more expensive than paying for entry, with the 120 days effectively being the same as paying for entry

but keep in mind you are paying for those days upfront

[boreal storm]

All months at once

[covert bolt]

Is there any easy way to make friends? I feel intimidated talking to people

[pure copper]

yea was just curious if steam also blocked that

[pulsar kayak]

quick question on spiritibonding

more materia = bond faster?

on the equip

[pure copper]

yes

[pulsar kayak]

thanks

[pure copper]

20% extra per meld

[vestal needle]

tomorrow's patch is just potency changes right?

[faint flare]

Yes

Just numbers

[boreal storm]

“Tonight’s”

[vestal needle]

P2S CLEAR TOMORROW THEN

[faint flare]

After you recleared p1s

[vestal needle]

oh right

[feral peak]

if a paladin and their covered target both get hit by the same aoe does the paladin still take the cover damage

[faint flare]

Yes

[regal pawn]

And the cover target will be safe
Assuming it's not one of those omnipotent aoes that just wrecks your shit and ignores cover

[leaden ginkgo]

is it generally true that arr relic weapons are more tedious to obtain compared to others? i just finished HW and am looking to grind for one

[faint flare]

Yes

[regal pawn]

Yes

[faint flare]

Books suck

[oblique yew]

Which patch are we currently on?

[faint flare]

6.05

6.08 after maint

[oblique yew]

Oh. Cool

[leaden ginkgo]

is it generally okay to put MSQ aside to get a relic wep or not worth? (im not in a rush, but just have no idea how long they generally take to get)

[boreal storm]

No

[faint flare]

No

[jovial quarry]

Definitely not worth

[faint flare]

By the time you're done you'll replace it immediately in the story

[boreal storm]

Just buying the poetics gear is good enough to progress, old relics are very optional

[leaden ginkgo]

oh i was just trying to get it for glam purposes

or whatever gets me a glowing wep

[lucid bone]

is retainer inv transferred with server change?

[faint flare]

They're much faster to do at cap

[jovial quarry]

Yes

[faint flare]

Due to able to unsync stuff easily

[lucid bone]

ah ok great, thanks

[leaden ginkgo]

ty

[gusty marlin]

If home world server transfers are being open on the 26th JST which is almost a whole half a days difference from us, Does that mean for us EST people we could be able to transfer as early as 2pm+ tomorrow?

[faint flare]

It's the same time globally

[gusty marlin]

So which time o, o?

They specified JST so that's why i asked.

[jovial quarry]

2 am pst, no?

[urban blade]

I thought the blog post said 10PM JST

on the 25th

[faint flare]

we'll be resuming the service on Wednesday, January 26, 2022 (JST).

[jovial quarry]

Ah my b

[gusty marlin]

Right which would be the 25th for the US

[sweet leaf]

I think i glitched fractal continuum, and i can't clear it

[faint flare]

Did you Interact with the 4 terminals

[twilit arch]

https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/topics/detail/c44ff5d66ab567cbf6ed562740c6fa303deacfdb

[sweet leaf]

you mean the 3 terminals? i did 2 of them, the one in my screenshot is bugged. i can't interact with it

[gusty marlin]

Ahh perfect

so 1am for us

Thank you so much for the help all!

[faint flare]

Only way you can't interact with it is mobs are alive...never heard of it before /shrug

[sweet leaf]

i died and wiped since i was stunned

I really hope they eventually rework, update, or expand squadron activities

it kinda sucks right now

[boreal storm]

They aren’t

[sweet leaf]

at least up to Stormblood, since we have Trusts for ShB/EW

[urban blade]

I have a question - does anyone have any idea about who is migrating to OCE or what any of the worlds are shaping up to look like? I'm gonna try to find a new FC when transfer is up but I don't wanna pick the wrong world :'( and end up somewhere gross.

[remote lintel]

there is no wrong world

[dapper oyster]

should i keep doing asphodelos normal?

[modest igloo]

Ye

[dapper oyster]

which reward should i take if i have full crafted equipment already?

[boreal storm]

Just Don’t take any, if you don’t wanna?

[faint flare]

Whatever you want for alt gear for alt jobs

[dapper oyster]

Uh... What if all my alt uses crafted as well?

[faint flare]

Then just do 4 for the blade

[dapper oyster]

Because i only use healer and caster so...

[faint flare]

Or trade pieces for pandemonium if they're better stats /Shrug

[dapper oyster]

Ah abot the blade

[knotty lily]

Time to level a Fending or Striking job, maybe?

[dapper oyster]

Whats the use of it?

[faint flare]

590 weapons

[remote lintel]

to upgrade the weapon?

[knotty lily]

7 blades + 500 Astros gets you a 590 weapon

[boreal storm]

7 = weapon

[sweet leaf]

7 of them gives you a tomestone you can trade in

[dapper oyster]

7 blades... It should be 7 afterthe reset right?

[boreal storm]

Either that or P2S

[sweet leaf]

most people have 5 right now

[knotty lily]

Six, after reset

[sweet leaf]

we get our 6th tomorrow

[faint flare]

It's 6 this week

[dapper oyster]

Nyeh -.-

[knotty lily]

Youll have to wait until February 1st and just have 500 Astronomy ready if you want a weapon

[dapper oyster]

i will just get the radiant shoes this week

[mortal aurora]

Whens maintenance PST? 8pm?

[remote lintel]

in 4 minutes

[faint flare]

!maint in #kupo-bot-spam

For times

For future reference

[mortal aurora]

Ahh cool. Gym time while they fix it

[limber hound]

Is it possible for WAR to solo a12s

[faint flare]

Yes

They did it last expansion

[limber hound]

How about any other tank

[sweet leaf]

holy crap how

[faint flare]

Doubt it

[remote lintel]

extreme self healing

[faint flare]

They don't have too much burst for the adds

[sweet leaf]

i remember trying and died to mechanics that require at least 2 players

[limber hound]

WAR is the only tank with enough self-sustain, huh

Maybe I'll give it a shot with GNB

[faint flare]

War just one hits the time gate adds with inner chaos etc

[mortal aurora]

so when i upgrade to a sub tonight whatre some of the things i should do first?

[boreal storm]

Msq

[faint flare]

Retainers

[mortal aurora]

how exactly do retainers work?

[remote lintel]

continue doing whatever you were doing?

[faint flare]

They're a bank

[remote lintel]

what

[faint flare]

First and foremost

[opal silo]

like magnets. no one knows

[sweet leaf]

so War can solo A12S but not A4S or A8S?

crazy

[craggy tinsel]

retainers are containers

[faint flare]

Those have mechanics that auto kill you

[mortal aurora]

ohhhhhh okay, is there a set limit? like in guild wars 2 the bank space is pretty small

[faint flare]

12s doesn't

[knotty lily]

Retainers hold your shit, and sell whatever you want to sell to other players on the marketboard. They can also passively gather combat/gathering materials for you

Each retainer has 175 slots and you get two of them for free

[sweet leaf]

i thought 12s does, weird

[faint flare]

You die instantly once Nisi comes out

And you can't kill 8s before gavel resolves

[knotty lily]

(Each retainer over #2 costs like two dollars a month or something)

[mortal aurora]

oh cool! i was getting tired of carrying all my crafting mats around

oh thats not bad

[naive ridge]

its whether or not you can resolve them yourself. some bosses have mechanics that you canr resolve yourself

[mortal aurora]

excited to finally be able to post cringe in liimsa shout chat lmao

[rare grail]

Can I make a new character on a data server that’s different from mine?

[remote lintel]

yes

[faint flare]

Yes

[mortal aurora]

ye

[sweet leaf]

what i discovered yesterday is O11N requires at least 3 people

[knotty lily]

Have to switch data centers on the title screen before you enter your own DC is all

[boreal storm]

Why wouldn’t you just DF it?

[sweet leaf]

because

[white bobcat]

I was soloing a dungeon when I disconnected because of maintenance,will the progress be saved?

[remote lintel]

prob not

[naive ridge]

no

[faint flare]

It's an instance so no

[naive ridge]

even if it kept you in the dungeon you will be kicked out by then

as the instance timer would keep running

[sweet leaf]

the 2 of us died to Delta Attack because we couldn't use the Omega Jammer fast enough

[remote lintel]

that didnt answer the question tho

[full surge]

For that data center travel thing. Does this mean now duty finder will now pull from all data centers you have access to or just that you can use their duty finder when on their data center?

[heavy wadi]

dc travel isnt coming yet.

[faint flare]

Use their data centre

[celest quartz]

Is there a resource somewhere that lists jobs based on APM / frequent weaving?

[jovial quarry]

Data centers will still match only within the same data center, as far as we can tell? But yeah it's not coming quite yet and there are a few things about its functions that we can't confirm until later.

[craggy tinsel]

They said it was a 6.1x patch, right?

[boreal storm]

Ye

[remote lintel]

6.1

[faint flare]

6.1x

[remote lintel]

[boreal storm]

It’s not 6.1 or 6.2

It’s planned for sometime between

[faint flare]

. It is now being planned for a 6.1x patch

[craggy tinsel]

Kinda like how the patch tonight is a 6.0x patch (6.08), the DC travel is for a 6.1x patch^

[spiral inlet]

will balance notes come out soon

or after maint

[craggy tinsel]

Should be during

[faint flare]

During maintenance as usual

[boreal storm]

Patience

[spiral inlet]

[craggy tinsel]

Speaking of, when it's inevitably spammed in this server can someone ping me for it

because I won't be watching lodestone

[ivory fossil]

The opening it's gonna be at 10 or 12 am?

[knotty lily]

This might be for you?

[celest quartz]

CPM? Makes me think of clicks per minute

[knotty lily]

Casts, I believe

[craggy tinsel]

^it's Casts per Minute

[celest quartz]

where is this from?

[knotty lily]

I just looked up APM in the discord search and picked the first one that had a picture tbh

[craggy tinsel]

Lol

[knotty lily]

I've had it before but it was for ShB, so I had to find a new one

BLM on bottom and NIN on top though, some things never change

[faint flare]

I believe there was a recent reddit thread for cpm in savage

https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/sasegz/busyness_no_of_button_presses_data_from/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share

[sly vessel]

what's the eta of maint for gmt+8 people

[narrow jay]

Now.

[jovial quarry]

Three hours and 44 minutes until it ends

[sly vessel]

oh ok ty ty

[celest quartz]

Essentially I find that I get bored when I dont press many buttons, but I also understand that some jobs press a lot of buttons in a short time span while others press buttons more often generally

[pure oar]

I find it interesting how with the exception of Dancer, the least busy classes perform the best.

[remote lintel]

not necessarily true

rpr is top melee dmg right now i believe

and that shits fast

[knotty lily]

MNK is pretty high CPM but performs exceptionally

[robust crow]

how long does it take before patch notes show up

[twilit arch]

🤷‍♂️

[pure oar]

The link above you has RPR and MNK as least busy melee.

[twilit arch]

when they decide to release them

[knotty lily]

X number of hours, please look forward to it tonight

[remote lintel]

what is "busy" then

ogcds?

[pure oar]

Button presses per minute.

[velvet nymph]

When is patch notes?

[narrow jay]

↑

[velvet nymph]

oof

[knotty lily]

🤷🏾‍♂️

[jovial quarry]

Could be a minute. Could be an hour. No way to know.

[velvet nymph]

Could be never?

[remote lintel]

so its ogcds then

[boreal storm]

It’ll be out when it’s out

[remote lintel]

so ninja will win bc of its mudra

[twilit arch]

they'll be released

we just don't know when

[velvet nymph]

K

[knotty lily]

"Busy" can be a feel thing though, some people think RPR is "busy" because of the fast burst phase in Enshroud, depends on who you ask
Obvioulsy NIN has objectively the most button presses, like MCH etc.

[celest quartz]

the thing is some jobs (like Monk to my understanding) press buttons consistently fast (2.0 sec GCD) with few OGCDs, while other classes press a lot of buttons in a burst window (I believe Reaper falls under this?) but are less active outside of said window

[remote lintel]

also all of those melees have more ogcds in their burst or faster gcd than rpr

[tropic timber]

What is the highest level possible?

[boreal storm]

90

[faint flare]

90

[jovial quarry]

90 job level. 600 item level.

[tropic timber]

How hard is it to get to it?

[remote lintel]

you just do the story

[tropic timber]

Oh damn

[remote lintel]

story levels you

[knotty lily]

Just do the story, thats all thats needed to get there on your first job

Its leveling Alt jobs on your character that takes more work, is all. Its still not hard, though.

[celest quartz]

If you want reference as a new player, Im at ~200 hours, mostly focused on the Main Story, and Im currently at Shadowbringers, to give you an idea (Level 72ish)

[tropic timber]

What if you already did the msq

[faint flare]

Levelling is never an issue

[tropic timber]

Coolio

[remote lintel]

rpr doesnt really press a lot of buttons in its burst it just presses them fast

[faint flare]

Tldr spam dungeons

[remote lintel]

thats rpr burst

its like nothing

[pure oar]

Dps is confused…

[faint flare]

Well their burst is double Communio

[remote lintel]

yeah but they have like no ogcds

[celest quartz]

thats what potd and hoh are for from 1-70 😄

[pure oar]

They sound boring though.

[remote lintel]

dungeons give more exp than potd or hoh

[boreal storm]

Roulettes still exist, as do squadrons

[celest quartz]

I lose more sanity waiting in queue then I do repeating potd or hoh but meh

[remote lintel]

dps queues arent even that bad right now tho

[celest quartz]

at least Im doing something in potd/hoh instead of waiting around / finding something else to fill that time

[fossil bloom]

is it true that the current "classical" gear will be able to be upgraded to i590?

[faint flare]

Yes

In 6.1

With aphorism tomes

[fossil bloom]

nice, thanks

iirc this was also a thing with shb's "facet" gear, right?

[remote lintel]

and neo ishgardian

[faint flare]

Next crafted gear yes

[fossil bloom]

hmm

is it reasonable to expect them (i590) to last until maybe the patch that introduces myths 2/second ew alliance raid?

[faint flare]

The next alliance will need like 600

As first alliance should required 570

[sweet leaf]

second alliance raid?

[faint flare]

Yes

There's always 3

[fossil bloom]

oh

[sweet leaf]

yeah i know

but we're still waiting for the first one

right?

[faint flare]

Yes

[fossil bloom]

yeah

i'm just trying to plan ahead

[faint flare]

590 won't get you into it

[fossil bloom]

seeing as i will not be able to get i600 gear anytime soon, if at all

[faint flare]

You will

Cause the 24man gives tokens to upgrade radiant

To 600

Plus pandemonium second tier normal will give 610

[leaden ginkgo]

did the patch notes drop?

[boreal storm]

#lodestone-news-na no

[fossil bloom]

so i have until P5-P8 drops to work up my will to unlock and do pandemonium

[remote lintel]

normal or savage?

cause the gear from normal content isnt that big of a deal anyway

[fossil bloom]

normal

savage will forever be beyond me'

[sweet leaf]

same

[remote lintel]

then idk wym "i have until p5-8"

its not like the first 4 will be irrelevant

[cursive ridge]

you can go do normal pandemonium wherever you want

there will always be ways of getting catch-up gear

[celest quartz]

Assuming we see potency changes in the patch notes, will we be able to determine how significant a given change is without needing to use fflogs?

[naive kraken]

if anything you'll see pandaemonium more since it will be in raid roulette

[faint flare]

Yes

[forest wharf]

Maths.

[obsidian patio]

If it’s purely just potency changes then yes

[faint flare]

People do potency per second calculations

[obsidian patio]

And not changing how a skill works

[sweet leaf]

the only savage i've done is old content unsynced as a duo

[forest wharf]

And how frequently you use the skill that is raised in potency.

If it's 10 potency, then it depends on how frequently that skill with 10 potency increase, is used.

[sweet leaf]

maybe in 2 years when level cap goes up to 100, i'll do some ShB ex trials

[fossil bloom]

yeah. the only savage i want to do personally is just O4S and O8S unsynced

[forest wharf]

If, per minute, that skill is used up to 5 or 6, then it's a 50 to 60 increase per minute.

[fossil bloom]

and that's only because i get to fight neo exdeath and god kefka

[sweet leaf]

i've done those 2 in a duo but i doubt they can be done solo

maybe 8 can

idk i think both can but i haven't tried

[dapper oyster]

No patch note so far?

Where to check it again?

[faint flare]

#lodestone-news-na

[dapper oyster]

I love u, thanks

U always here to answer my dumb questions

[sweet leaf]

one day we're gonna attempt a CLL duo but it's awkward just waiting for it to launch in an instance where no one else joins

i need to find more lost flare stars before i do tho lmao

[cursive ridge]

do we have a rough dps comparison between all jobs on aoe? all raid bosses are single target, but i'm interested to see how tanks fare compared to dps in aoe situations

[remote lintel]

not really because aoe doesnt matter?

[sweet leaf]

pretty sure BRD is the strongest there?

[cursive ridge]

wasn't asking if it mattered, was asking if we have it

[remote lintel]

not really

albeit i havent looked into it much but people dont really parse dungeons

[narrow jay]

I mean ... they do, but less for parses and more to check their rotation practice during bosses.

[sweet leaf]

when i check ACT while doing raids, i usually see MCH higher than anything, so maybe it's them, but it's hard to tell

I can't figure out how to get it to track trash packs

[narrow jay]

But yeah, it's not uncommon to see tanks/healers initially high on the trash DPS in ACT because their windups typically take less time.

which, again, really doesn't matter

it being trash

Like, you might as well parse Camp Westwind.

You'd get equally useful results.

[boreal storm]

Ifrit normal parse

[sweet leaf]

i'd say it's useful for people who just spend all day in Bozja or Zadnor and want to find out what clears huge packs fastest

[boreal storm]

Nah

[narrow jay]

yeah, nah

People.

[remote lintel]

that matters even less in bozja since you can just get steroids lmao

for any role

[narrow jay]

People is the strongest carry, and also those buffs are just stupid strong.

[boreal storm]

Also there’s more than 4 people

[narrow jay]

Especially the healer DPS buff.

[obsidian patio]

Yeah there’s lost actions in bozja that do insane AoE damage

!action lost rampage

[obsidian patio]

Best aoe for all jobs in bozja content

If you can spare the slot

[cursive ridge]

i found this https://www.fflogs.com/zone/statistics/41/#aggregate=amount&metric=dps&class=Any
but i cant seem to find any way to remove the bosses from that stat

[sweet leaf]

i've never used those lol

[narrow jay]

Not with the way FFlogs reads ACT files, no.

[boreal storm]

Then you aren’t bozja-ing right

[narrow jay]

You'd have to individually split out each section of a dungeon run.

[remote lintel]

like i said people dont parse trash

[cursive ridge]

bummer

[sweet leaf]

I think i'm bozja-ing just fine, i just haven't needed thos

[narrow jay]

And looking at aoe damage numbers isn't really useful for any purpose, whether it be player-skill improvement or bragging rights.

[faint flare]

It's free triple dps in bojza

[cursive ridge]

i want to know.

[sweet leaf]

Lost Slash used to be ridiculous on WAR before Inner Release was changed

[lime ore]

Okay so something confusing me about parses - when it shows your rdps does it not count buffs you got, right? So if you're a class like Black Mage or Dark Knight, how do you focus getting high numbers?

[faint flare]

!faq fflogsdps

[zinc orbit]

What is the difference between nDPS, rDPS, pDPS and aDPS on FFLogs?

• neutral DPS (nDPS) is: Your TotalDPS minus the damage from buffs you received
• RaidDPS (rDPS) is: Your TotalDPS minus the damage from buffs you received plus the damage from buffs you contributed
• Personal DPS (pDPS) is: Your TotalDPS without being adjusted for buffs.
• adjusted DPS (aDPS) is: Your TotalDPS minus single target buffs applied to you (devilment, dragon sight, astro cards, etc)

[remote lintel]

blm will have high adps

and lower rdps

[crystal otter]

Do I lose anything if I transfer my character to another server?

[boreal storm]

Dancer has lower adps, higher rdps

[narrow jay]

*relatively lower with respect to itself, but it'll still ideally be higher up

[lime ore]

I don't mean to compare to other classes but within your own class

[cursive ridge]

player housing, your free company

[crystal otter]

Ok cool, I have neither of those

[faint flare]

Using your buffs correctly during everyone's burst

Aka no Selfish emboldens

[remote lintel]

but blm doesnt have buffs anyway

[sweet leaf]

i would probably use lost rampage or lost burst if i had 3 lost actions i could use, but it doesn't fit into what i use normally

[faint flare]

Jobs without buffs do it by aligning their burst with raid buffs

DRK burst is 1min. With strongest at 2min with double shadowbringers

[lime ore]

So a Redmage would get higher rdps by using embolden when the rest of the team benefits most, but how would a more selfish one like Blm get higher? Just doing their rotation perfect? So external buffs from your party are not shown in logs?

[remote lintel]

if youre asking why other people have higher parses than you its because they have better gear

[faint flare]

Doing your rotation better is naturally going to give you higher parse

And aligning with burst

[cursive ridge]

for serious content, you want every person in the group to get their 'when benefits most' in the same window

[faint flare]

Faster kills = more dps

[leaden ginkgo]

how much gil do u get refunded back if u had a house on ur old server?

[lime ore]

I'm just confused by the "minus damage from buffs you received part" so how does lining up your cds help you as a blm since things like embolden and drg buff aren't counted, or am I just misunderstanding

[leaden ginkgo]

i heard u get a refund

[cursive ridge]

stacking buffs together gives you more damage than spreading them out

[boreal storm]

30%

[leaden ginkgo]

i see

[faint flare]

Cause you kill the boss faster overall

Remember dps is damage per second

[remote lintel]

it subtracts outside buffs to your damage and counts buffs you gave the party

[faint flare]

If time is shorter, damage is higher

[lime ore]

So that means BLM say gains nothing by having like a personal dancer/astro buffs for their parses?

Like I used to play wow where best parse would have a lot of buffs funneled to you, but lining up buffs is just useful in making overall kill quicker?

[faint flare]

Damage gained from cards/partner will be given to their jobs respectively as Rdps

[remote lintel]

that's why blm has lower rdps and higher personal dps

[narrow jay]

Because technically people could cheese higher parses by getting a team comp solely focused on buffing that person. It reads more as a function of your skill level relative to the gear you have (since remember, better gear also means higher DPS stats), and less as a function of how well your party is buffing you at all the right moments.

[lime ore]

I like that cheesing buffs doesn't really matter I'm just confused a bit. My friend wants me to bring buff classes to help his parses, but would that just not help? Since me giving him dancer or bard buff etc only increases my own rdps and doesn't touch his (even if he looks better on damage meters)

[outer lodge]

so is that 2002 error ever gonna go away? it's a huge issue for my shit ass internet and incredibly frustrating

[remote lintel]

classes with party wide buffs count

individual buffs do not

[narrow jay]

Sounds like your friend is also focused on the wrong thing lol

[remote lintel]

so you cant have 7 people all buffing you individually

@outer lodge the 2002 error is because of your shit internet

[lime ore]

So me giving buffs on like the normal raid (where it's easy enough to just cheese) doesn't help his parses then right, he just needs to get perfect uptime right?

[remote lintel]

classes with party wide buffs count

[outer lodge]

keep talking shit

[remote lintel]

you said your internet was shit

[outer lodge]

literally have no issue in any game but xiv

[lime ore]

that counts to their dps though right not the one getting buffed?

[outer lodge]

super fucking gay

[narrow jay]

Recommend you calm it down.

[remote lintel]

@lime ore it counts for both like the faq says

bard songs will count towards a blm's adps

astro cards will not

[lime ore]

Okay so they would just have to brag about adps instead of rdps then?

[remote lintel]

yes because theyre a blm i'm assuming

[lime ore]

They're drk

[remote lintel]

they have no buffs to give

[leaden ginkgo]

"bard songs will count towards a blm's adps
astro cards will not" because ast is rng and brd is not?

[remote lintel]

drk doesnt have buffs either

@leaden ginkgo because brd is party wide and ast cards arent

[leaden ginkgo]

yeah thats what I meant

[lime ore]

So a high drk parse is mostly just personal play and gear for rdps and for adps that + getting party buffs

[leaden ginkgo]

is divination counted?

[remote lintel]

divination is party wide so yes

[leaden ginkgo]

yeah

oki

[remote lintel]

@lime ore basically

and doing their rotation correctly

[lime ore]

is there any easy way to look at logs and see ONLY how much buffs you're giving that would count toward adps? I assume bard is the highest for that?

[remote lintel]

all classes are balanced

[steel canopy]

I'd assume it's more likely DNC

[remote lintel]

they all bring something except a select few jobs

[steel canopy]

Bards buffs are always on but it like 1-3%?

[remote lintel]

yes

[lime ore]

Well isn't part of dancer's bonus the personal buff which doesn't count toward adps? Bard brings the constant buff plus 2 big cd buffs, so I imagine that would be most

[steel canopy]

RE: BLM, SAM, am I missing something?

[remote lintel]

i dont think mch has any but i havent checked since EW launched

@lime ore yes but dnc has technical finish

which is a larger buff than brd but also a larger cd

[lime ore]

dancer has the 5% damage and 20% crit/direct and bard has the constant song plus 6% from new one plus 20% direct, I wonder if that'd be more

[faint flare]

Well tech is the equiliant of Radiant finale

[steel canopy]

Yeah, unless you count Tactician.

As a MCH player I am emarassed I forgot that.

[warped nest]

MCH has no offensive buff

[narrow jay]

If you look at the readout on the FFlogs site for the general party Damage Done page, you should see a column on the far right in the lower bar graph segment titled rDPS. If you hover over that number, it'll show you the outgoing damage you gave and the incoming damage you benefited from.

[warped nest]

Yeah, only tactician, and I think one of the range physical role skill can interrupt

But both Bard and Dancer has tactician equivalents

[narrow jay]

Here I'm hovering over the 6,633.3 figure

[warped nest]

And obviously ranged physical role skills

[remote lintel]

crit has more weight than dh but i havent really looked at the new brd skills

[narrow jay]

The skills are color-coded to the party member's color in the Name column.

So you can see both what buffs are going out, and who provided them, in the case you have duplicates (such as in roulettes or Alliance content).

[lime ore]

Oh that's interesting, I'd never seen that

[cursive ridge]

is there a point using aoe LB in expert roulette? the trash pulls usually die within 20 seconds, 15 of which is spent in my demi-bahamut phase and there's no way i'm using LB during that

[remote lintel]

consider this

they die faster if you lb

[cursive ridge]

by like maybe one second

[faint flare]

Faster is faster

[remote lintel]

im pretty sure lb2 does more than that

[faint flare]

Lb on multiple mobs > lb on bosses

[narrow jay]

Also, your LB bar resets when you gain the third bar—so right as you aggro the last boss—meaning that any LB you gained during the rest of the dungeon is immediately lost.

[cursive ridge]

i get that, it's just that by the time my demi-bahamut runs out the mobs are usually at like 10-15% health

[faint flare]

Then use it on the pack after that while Demi is on cd

[cursive ridge]

it's never on cd for trash

[narrow jay]

Those two statements are in direct conflict unless you are literally RP walking between packs.

[cursive ridge]

there's time needed to run and collect both packs

[narrow jay]

Not that much.

[cursive ridge]

during that time, your demi cooldown refreshes

it's only a 57 second cooldown

[narrow jay]

idk what to tell you, my guy, if you're looking for reasons to avoid using it, simply do not use it

no one here can force you to

[lime ore]

Maybe just lb for style since the summoner one looks OP

[cursive ridge]

all caster ones in dungeons will be the same since you cant lb3

[covert berry]

is ff at maintance amt?

[faint flare]

Yes

[open ember]

Its kinda recommended to use caster lb2 for dunegons for mobs. Since you will never reach lb3 (more like you can't) in dunegons

[covert berry]

till when?

[open ember]

Then melee lb2 on final boss to kill it

But no one ever does caster lb in dunegons so shrugs

[jovial quarry]

Four hours and 42 minutes-ish.

[covert berry]

oh ok

[faint flare]

No one ever lbs in dungeons in general*

[open ember]

Basically

[cursive ridge]

i'll try using caster lb1 twice in expert roulette next time

maybe if i do it before demi it will feel less shit

[faint flare]

You'll only get one off for trash

If you use it asap

Then last boss rebuilds lb1

[cursive ridge]

hmmm, not possible to get two for trash?

okay

[faint flare]

Nope

[open ember]

Pretty sure you can get lb2 and save for 2nd pack IF you don't use it on bosses

[faint flare]

usually it charges just before the second boss on that last trash pull

You don't get lb2 for trash

Only 1

[open ember]

Oh

Well its still damage sooo

[faint flare]

2 is for last boss only

[open ember]

I play healer all the time so brain is shut off

[faint flare]

Around the second boss is when it's charged, tiny bit faster if there's been low hp healing

[vocal spruce]

is there a maintenance rn ?

[open ember]

Yes there is

Check kupo bot

With ! maint

Take the space out

#kupo-bot-spam

[vocal spruce]

tysm

[verbal rune]

When are patch notes btw?

[jovial quarry]

No idea

[boreal storm]

When they’re done

[fast talon]

i know game maintenance is still for like four more hours, but how long is lodestone maitenance? just to get an estimate for when patch notes should be available

[jovial quarry]

Can't even field a guess as it's always different.

[fast talon]

for real? alright, guess I'll just keep an eye out.

[jade quartz]

Patch notes go up during maint

So within the next few hours
