ah i didnt know most ppl find statics on discord
personally i asy no because i wouldn't use cruise chaser over a flex mount, especially for 20 to 30 bucks

far eastern officer's attire does look pretty good imo but i wouldn't use it over stuff i'd get in-game either
but again that's entirely ur judgement call
In eorzea collection sometimes they use a certain single piece instead of a full set
is there any particular one that has a good single piece that i might overlook?
because the mogstation resolution seems like shit everything is kinda blurry on there
personally i don't think any one piece is worth 10 bucks when you can find alternatives for gearsets if you put in the work
which is usually not that hard
Bad Wolfy has videos of all the costume sets on different races if you want a better look
I like cute jpgs 
using tools like CM Tool or Amnemesis also help
ah right, those
ok, ill check it out on those
Apply the model on your char, run around a bit
personally I don't think most sets are worth it for the price they are since i usually replace them with stuff I end up liking better at the time

and see if you wanna buy in
i just kinda wanna spend money on the game
but usually i just scratch my head and dunno what to buy

i think it would be better to spend that money on other stuff if u truly had a gun to ur head and had to splurge
and the two man mount
yea they look very nice
I use the Songbirds ones all the time whenever I go into a duty and someone is watching a cutscene
if you want my honest to god recommendation if you had to buy something it'd be an emote set
maybe the summer set with the sunglasses
good bargain, funny gear
you dab with this one
yea this, songbirds, megaflare and play dead one is fun as heck
absolutely gonna buy those

why i cant take in for garuda awakening quest , it says i need bowl of embers hard, i do have it unlocked but i cant take the quest
did you beat bowl of embers hard
oh need to beat it first
ye
Is it still possible to get the beatus/saint of the firmament titles and the pteradactyl mount?
okie tyty
anyone know when we're scheduled to get the next story content?
including the next raid story?
Typically with the next major patch, the exact date of which we will most likely learn with the upcoming PLL this week.
foq
is Lightspeed on AST useful for anything except DPSing/healing on the move?
uptime baby, its all about the uptime
turning your single weave into double weave?
oh and you can double weave due to instacasts
thats pretty good too
i dont recall its a net dps gain for astros, but moving and casting is pretty yuge buff
Presence of Mind feels so much better as a healer cooldown
you become such a turret with it
aye well, astros werent known for their high personal dps

Didn't know there was a command for that. tyty
i missed a personal spoil chest in dalraida, can i go back and get it after we kill the boss?
what do you guys put on your side mouse buttons
yes
or you can just go back after you kill all bosses
no wait not in dalriada
How do I unlock sundry splendors in Ishgard?
Beat 3.0
you get access to shire gear when entering idyllshire
Thats the lvl 60 tomestone gear?
yes
there was a portal to go back and get it thanks tho!
Does the desynthesis system still have the thing where leveling one desynth harms the potential of other desynths?
nope, you can max them all out now
oh pog
finally I can desynth all these fish I have
What should souls of the crafters should I pick? Anything particularly useful?
does location that you haven't been to shows up as ???? or you could spoil the location
Depends on what you want to craft. They're not especially important
some locations that are especially spoilery yes
if you've been to that location it is no longer ???
for me personally, I could see the hunt location that's shared in hunt linkshell that I've been to, even when I just started EW MSQ
why is this?
like the last 2 maps, I could see them all
probably because it's a player linked thing
you cant see stuff in the map interface
like the entire map or just the name?
both
so it shows up in the chat, but it doesn't show up in the map?
no idea how location markers work with that, just saying how the map interface works
If you're still completing endwalker turn off all chat and set yourself to busy lol
people are spoilery these days
nah I just completed recently and there are few sprouts that say they could see the hunt link that one of the player shared 👀
but other sprouts said it displays as ????
however I personally could see the location when I was still doing MSQ, so I'm confused which is the correct one
it always showed the location name in chat if you linked a flag, even when i didnt own ew
I see, so if it's a link/flag it can't be censored, I got it
if it's typed manually, however it will censor
Why is VIII materia a higher stat than IX?
im not 100% sure but i think its just because you can meld multiple ix
I see, I guess I havent melded enough to notice it
Its for overmelding
You can only use even number materia for guaranteed slots + 1 overmeld
Subsequent melds require odd numbered materia

is it possible to dye the dragoon armor set
Yes, there’s different processes depending on the expansion
Do you get steam points when you buy game time from steam wallet?
i beleive so
leveling AST after leveling WHM a bit... do you just use your aoe cooldowns to help keep tank alive on big pulls even if it's only benefitting the tank?
maybe even going so far as to use aspected helios for basically single target?
Aspected Helios? I haven’t had to use that during W2W pulls. But yeah— use those AoE CD’s. They’ll come back anyways, and they’re great at keeping your tank alive.
yeah i think asp. helios is 700 potency total so basically the same as benefic2 anyway
!action aspected helios
that's 85+
!action aspected benefic
yeah just use aspected bene
^
no cast time + more hot
You can also use Neutral Sect prepull to prep a shield, if your tank is undergeared and/or terrible at popping CD’s.
my idea was that by pre-emptively adding on an extra hot from asp. helios i create more burst HPS during the time when tank cooldowns wane
nah, theres a decent chance by the time helios goes out the tank will be A. out of range when picking up trash or B. needs an actual heal
Dunno what level you’re at, but at some point (before you get good oGCD’s), AST needs to spam Benefic quite a bit to keep tanks alive.
really missing tetragrammaton leveling AST, hoping intersection fills that void
If I begin a roulette before weekly reset and end after it, can I get next week's capped tomes?
yep
Nice
You get ED!
ED is OP!
Essential Dignity is great
i know it's supposed to be stronger but somehow it feels weaker since i expect it to be basically benediction
ED isn’t Benediction.
I wouldn’t rely on it for the same purposes, tbh. Using just ED at low health could easily cause a wipe.
Gotta use that before resorting to Synastry + Benefic II
But yeah, missed the old one
wait, does synastry double dip?
To be fair, AST is much better than WHM now. Macrocosmos is killer.
Yeah it does
Yeah
Ya, pop Synastry if you’re planning to use Benefic.
oh dang that makes it much better
I'm just bad at new AST
Healing the same target you got Synastry on does 40% more healing
Just feel like don't have the energy to learn how to do a triple carding every 2 min
i kinda thought it was just a double target heal and was struggling to find a use in dungeons
only Benefic2, Asp. Benefic and i guess Benefic1 work with synastry, right?
Yeah
Yeah but don't use that
Benefic 1, I mean. Just ignore it
i know i know
another thing- is there ever any point where you would cast synastry on not a tank
I honestly never have had a situation where I use it on a DPS
So i've made an FC when i was with the Twin Adders, I'm thinking about changing to Flames, is there a point to changing the FCs GC as well? What are the benefits?
another interesting question - is it worth it refreshing Asp. Bene on the tank under Neutral Sect if the aspbene regen hasnt timed out yet?
nah FC GC is basically where you buy your buffs from
Oh damn, so it means nothing? haha
pretty much
considering they do for single player, i'm assuming yes
I dunno about other people but I only refresh Aspected Benefic when it runs out during Neutral Sect. I'd rather use ED or even Benefic 2 if it comes to it, those do more than the immediate heal+shield potency anyways. It's better to use that GCD for a Gravity or Malefic

Your rank should not, but your allegiance will slowly decay.
oh yeah, i thought they were asking about standing
when gearing up, i should prioritize weapon > top/bottom > others > accessories, correct?
Exactly
yes, but if any of your slots is exceptionally low item level, that will take priority (after weapon still probably)
Dancer question. When I do technical step I don't see any benefit ie damage etc. What does it do?
buffs the whole party plus does a buttload of damage with the finish
are you pressing the finish button
Yes
+5% damage for whole party with 4 steps
!action technical finish
Delivers an attack to all nearby enemies. Potency varies with number of successful steps, dealing full potency for the first enemy, and 75% less for all remaining enemies.
0 Steps: 350

3 Steps: 900
4 Steps: 1,080 Step Bonus: Grants Technical Finish and Esprit to self and party members Damage bonus of Technical Finish varies with number of successful steps.
1 Step: 1%
2 Steps: 2%
3 Steps: 3%
4 Steps: 5%
Duration: 20s
Additional Effect: Activates the Esprit Gauge Additional Effect: Grants Flourishing Finish

Triggers the cooldown of weaponskills, step actions, and finish actions upon execution. Cannot be executed during the cooldown of weaponskills, step actions, or finish actions.
※Action changes to Tillana upon execution.

and the esprit thingie for your saber dance
huh that bot seems to have wrong info, 4step is 1200 potency
What do u mean with "messing"?
next time just tell them ur not in the mood for chatting
Ye the last one was pre-endwalker launch iirc

Welp I just got dismissed for not knowing which status effects Esuna can remove, is there a list somewhere?
!faq esuna
Guess I'm just stupid, back to DPS it is
You're not stupid, the game barely tells u about the white line thing
but now u know it so u can recognise it in the future
I guess, I just feel like I'm making too many mistakes
I'm probably just overreacting because it's my first time getting kicked from a duty
What duty was it, if i may ask
The Burn, I probably shouldn't've done my level of content until I know all I can about healer, but I was enticed by the short wait times
Hmm
Are there any doom mechanics in that dungeon
i dont remember anything that really needs to be esuna'd there.. lemme check
prolly dragon
the mist is a real bitch of a boss
Oh ye frostbite
anyone use anamnesis before? how do i reset my character outfit to the original one that im wearing?
Dont you only get afflicted by that if you attack the boss when youre not supposed to?
No i think the boss just gives frostbite as part of its attack pattern
Breath attack specifically
And that's undodgeable
Not to mention a cleave if your dps and healers are dumb
Or tank for that matter
I just reload the gearset in-game
what're the best classes to solo content such as FATEs in synced content at 50, 60, and 70 ranges
BLU
the only class i dont really have prepped, what do I need to make that work
most jobs should be fine, fates are scaled for the minimal available ilvl of that level while level sync syncs you to the maximum available ilvl
so you end up steamrolling them
theres a couple fates in several locations that kill me despite that fact, I tend to use the DPS classes for the faster clears
That is not readable
zooming in I cant read any of that lol
yeah thats still unlegible
gdi it just reposted it lol
I can see the some of the skill names, but its still unlegible
that makes it readable
still hella fuzzy, but a lil better
anywho, top right corner, blu academy, they got all the info
still hae to farm 3/4th of thoseskills
So not very sugoi, but it'll do
is Cutter's Cry soloable lol
why is cruise chase always among the best seller? The mount looks kinda ugly on paper tho?
2 seater
^^
also its a boss
at 70 yeah
Good music
and it wasnt on the best seller
Good music, popular boss, two seater
it also got teased for a long time
RNG is RNG then 
datamined in 5.5 released like 5.58 6 months later
at least its not old rng rate which was akin to current ex mount drop
Forward and back, and then forward and back, etc.

Hi there everyone, my question might be weird but it involves the subscription for this game
why cant i initiate my BT quests ?
You didn’t complete previous ones
Basically, I live in Egypt. And I play the game on the PlayStation 4, my account is American which makes my square account also American. Unfortunately I can't use my cc or anything else as its also Egyptian. The question i had was if I using PayPal is possible? Since it has its own servers and all. Like can I buy the codes from the American amazon or just straight up buy crystal with the PayPal?
Yes PayPal is an option
And the region on the PayPal account is fine?
Don’t see why it wouldn’t be
Will try it later then! Tysm
Do you guys usually join free roll or non free roll parties for p1s-p4s?
free roll
guys will 6.1 be at the end of feb?
Liveletter on the 18th
liveletter on the 19th will likely have a date but it's probably march-may
Lmao no
Live letters that give dates of major content patches don't usually end with "and its out next week"
true
If anything they exist to tide people over because its gonna be a while til the patch
Also, it's only week 7 since savage released. Waaaaaaaaay too soon for catchup mechs to be added
the usual gap between major patches is 3.5-4 months apart
X.1s take longer again iirc

does anyone have experience getting a switch pro controller to work on ffxiv standalone ?
I use it through steam input
i'm currently trying with x360ce because wiinupro didn't work
i'd like to avoid steam input if possible though
it's great but i don't wanna need to have steam open
Cba changing it at this point, ask #technology-discussion
alright
can we set auto replies ?
in settings ?
and what are visual alerts ?
in sys config > accessibility
oooh ara VA the little text that falls to ground ?
changing the size does nothing
it's some weird waveforms on the sides of the screen that react to sound
oooooh those
ya i thought it was the lil text floating to ground
ya i always had them on then .. cool TY
that's flying text or whatever its called
Hows bynhyldr's community compared to the other worlds in crystal? is it among the more populated ones? is it more raid-focus?
Basically the same as other crystal worlds
for raiding, it really doesnt matter what world u join, moreso what DC u join, Primal has a better focus in Crystal iirc from most forum posts
so cant set auto replies when /afk ?

Is there a way to check if im able to do Beast tribe quests again without me having to go there to check everytime?
Ahhhh
which one of these are good for tanks
the white one has crit hit and determ
while the other has determ and tena
Ty
id say crit
Well you can’t get either without doing Savage, so like
Hey, pretty new in ff14. i just made it to lvl90 armorer and was wondering if i can get any new recipes to craft stuff for level 90?
true, but its just a question once i get super far into the game
that wasn't what the guy was asking though
you can find best in slot lists on the balance
!faq balance
Master recipe books
How do I make Money because the market prices are criminal?
white one unless you're trying to do a very specific minmax
a couple of the pre-50 miner materials can be surprisingly decent for how easy they are to do.
Silver Ore, Mythril Ore, Cobalt Ore, Gold Ore, Darksteel Ore
Granite sometimes
alright thx
silver ingot through black smithing?
goldsmith
Not really?
Its usually for the best to level every crafter
so one path is not good
being self-sufficient helps a good amount with making money
and lets you be diverse in what you can make for gil
whats max crafting lvl? and I really want to be able to meld matria
90, as it is the cap for all jobs
so i need 90 on all DotH to be self efficient
For lvl 90 stuff sure
not as much for culinarian
But you’re quite far from that
since they only make food
had someone showed me this error, what would be the current uptodate solution
back then dns flush thing fixed my problem
check ur vpn?
or whatever firewall stuff is called
Also xivlauncher may help
also update internet explorer iirc
Self sufficient not efficient
It means you can handle everything yourself. You don't need to go find a friend who's level blacksmith or whatever
Which doesn't necessitate being level 90
Once your crafters are above lvl 15 or so, the crafting recipes starts to include materials crafted by other crafters
So uhh, they don't have off-hand and accessories for lv 90 gatherer and crafters?
Crafted
What's available with scrips is artifact gear. Main purpose being glamour
No right side
Ooh thanks! I thought I'm missing something
but melding materia required to be the same lvl as the gear?
Materia just needs one crafter at 90
so focus one DotH use others DotH to get items proceed in lvling the main?
needs any crafter at the same level or higher than the equip level of the item
Generally better to level them up together
to make efficient use of equipment and to not flood your armoury
Hello im a big fan of FFIV's Kain (check username lol)
I saw there was a Cecil armor im HW but i think is collectors only
Is there a Kain DRG armor?
I got that armor yeah but its not that similar sadly
iirc theres a kain minion
Its from the Heavensward Collectors Edition
I think the level 90 Moonward Maiming set is kinda close too
Ah great....
You can digitally upgrade

anyone know what the upcoming liveletter is going to discuss?
we can only guess
Can i disable Duty Finder on cutscenes
It makes me very anxious when im not in the job of the finder
don't uh.... queue for duty finder if you're in a cutscene?
sometimes it just happens
You can leave the queue before starting a cutscene.
Or be on the job you queued as before starting a cutscene.
There are no other options.
Because Duty Finder is active matchmaking - you join the queue and it starts looking until it finds a group for that content. You can't hang your place in the queue and jump back in after you're done with the cutscenes. That wouldn't be fair to everyone else.
Worst case scenario - you skip the cutscene and watch it later in the inn.
worst case you get a duty punishment
whaty happens if you reach 3 in 24 hours ?
Im on a duty finder for a raid that its 20min and im just gonna do nothing? Lol, i progress msq, level alts etc
Is anyone in Malaysia who uses Unifi ISP still having lags that u keep having request timeout every few minutes?
only happens to me in ff14 so far
i have confirm addition to firewall and exception in avast antivirus but not a sign of fixing
Sometimes leveling alts or msq i get a random cutscene
So you skip the cutscene and watch it later if you don't want to miss the queue.
The moonward set is based off of ff4 characters, such as cecil, rydia and Cain but they’re a lv 90 set. Other than that the artifact 1/2 gear you get at 50/60 is pretty close
how do you show your ping like that? and i do get lags everytime too
Damn, well thanks
There are Anny Problems with Log in ? Cant Log in there are No Button in Launcher
Thanks
it is a dalamud plugin, are u having players stopped then move fast in a sudden?
yeah
happens everytime in dungeons, im using vpn too
or maybe its just during peak time
Restart the launcher. If that doesn't help, just let the launcher sit active for a couple of minutes.
WOW the moonward one looks great
So i so all offf Them nothing happens
They’re pretty easy to get, not sure where you are in the story but you just need to beat endwalker and stock up on some aphorism tomestones
Which are easy to cap out on
Post hw
I dont have the expansions yet
Closest you can get will probably be the level 45/50 DRG artifact armors then.
I cant login at all or access the mogstation, is it just an issue with me ?
A friend of mine cant do it rn either
Alright cool then its from their end
may i know which area are u in?
I also get the same in the afternoon
it was not this heavy back when undersea cable issue is happening
i just get it every few minutes now
selangor
do people use duty roulettes for raids?
For ones that exist in them
i see
coils arent in duty roulette

coil is the 8 man raid for a realm reborn (lv50)
they're not in any roulette as they do not have a normal mode version and are effectively savage raids
so only coil dont have roulette
yeah
all other 8 man raids are in normal roulette, since they have a normal mode and savage
do people do arr raids now? or everyone only doing the newest expansion one
hmmm mine's seemed stable so far
Coils people usually just put up a party finder and go in unsynced.
why do people do that? farming certain item?
For glamour, or just to experience it.
Not sure about other servers, but aether have coils MINE on Party finder from times
I know Coils alone is basically savage
hey guys. how many hours you get in lvl 80? the main character
but how hard is Turn 9 Savage
turn 9 savage is just turn 9
are you asking sync or unsync
Sync
there is no savage coils
yes there is
2nd coil has a savage version
what
it was an experiement
to see if players were willing to do content for basically no reward, except a title
talk to the bartender in the Rising Stones
is the fight just t9 but with more dmg or is there more mecchanics
Depends on whether you're grinding straight there or following MSQ, and depends on if you're following the story or skipping everything.
can't honestly answer how hard t9s sync is cos never personally done it
do know that doing it unsync is infinitely easier than t9 because you can cheese the enrage X)
if you're soloing t9s unsync you push her as fast as you can into her enrage
so you skip heavensfall etc
and just deal with her enrage because it hits like a wet noodle
If you sync it the gear powercreep also will make the fight easier
Then you taste how it fresh comes out, in which i haven't try yet
What would be the point, though? You can't recreate the kits that were there at the time, which is what they were designed around.
if i leave potd after the 10 floors at that place that gives you an exit does it save progress?
Yes
oki ty
can i grind eureka weapon right away once i unlock pagos?
when do i get ew af set
oof okay still a long way to go, thanks
89 MSQ
aight ty
btw where do i get the quest for this, at anemos or pagos?
If you hallowed ground and cover someone taking a TB, neither of you take any damage, right?
Gerolt in pagos
You still do
As I recall, Cover damage goes through Hallowed Ground.
covered damage goes through hallowed
Hallowed doesn't count for cover
How about mitigation? Does that take some of the damage off?
Oh Ty!

My statics pld is thrilled
guys i want to change my healing char. I am currently scholar but it seems not my type. I want a healer that cooling with costume and weapon. I am confused between astrologian and conjurer.
You can use it for heart stake instead of provoking back and forth since the bleed debuff doesn't stack
You only need 1 voke
Or you can just tank the bleed and let healers deal with it
It's more fun to cover it imo
you can pick up conjurer in gridania
turns into whm at lvl 30
yeah i already go to isharg
What's confusing between them?
i saw that some people say WHM is not a good healer end game
It is
!faq metameme
The only "bad" thing is it's current Mp management but that's not a major thing
just use lucid on cd :3
MP management is only a problem for WHM if you build at absolute bare minimum Piety.
or just meld more piety
Even with lucid on cd whm runs out of mana in like 5mins with current bis
It gets better when factoring lilies
Anywhere around 900 Piety and judicious use of Lucid, Assize, and lilies and you should be fine.
idk what the current BiS gear has for Piety
oh thanks. How about astrologian?
Better MP management
Will i get banned for using the bard music thing on the google i found, that autoplay the music?
But also very strong in endgame.
I see like 479 piety for speedkills, about 600 for normal low piety and about 720 for mid piety
its pretty good in endgame, as with all the other healers
dont upload it to youtube and you gucchi
ok thank you, guys. I will try astrologian first
AST is pretty good but is very busy
you basically have to use a movment cooldown jsut to have enough weave slots in burst
yeah you're gonna weave a bunch bc of cards
Don't upload, don't talk about it and probably don't loop the same song for 8 hrs straight
That low??? No wonder people have been saying WHM has bad MP management. What are the other healers running?
you mean it hard to play astrologian?
Sch has between 0 piety (390 Base) and 590
main thing is just that its a lot going on while mechanics and healing is happening
WTF. What even are healer builds anymore.
dps build? :D
crit, det/dh as it always has been?
Broiler build
In the healer simulations at bis, all healers run out of Mp at like 30mins+...except whm
Healer builds piety? I think it should be determination
depends
piety is a comfort stat
piety til comfort
you only meld as much as you need
I never meld Piety
But like
I also wouldn't want to run any healer with less than 900 Piety.
That seems counterintuitive.
Damn. I actually have more MP issues as SGE at 1000 Piety than I do as WHM at the same.
I'm probably not making as good use of Ixo/Duo/Kera as I should
But that's beside the point.
its just using the stacks. kinda kerachole on cd kinda
det isnt bad but healers prefer crit for damage and piety for extra mp
i think they still prefer DH tho right? save ast with sps
and for astro i see like 0 piety across the board for bis list. then again they have the best mp economy5
dh and det are fairly even
astrodyne is wack
is there any job that doesnt like det?
Det was buffed in the expansion so pretty good overall
cos its flat dmg boost
and only sps blm hates crit right
ah ok
how do i remove the confirmation menu for the teleport? and if possible for using a key too thanks

For the 300 runs achievements, yes. It would fall under the lv 61+ dungeons criteria.
Awesome ty
hey does anyone know how to find mining spots in the minimap ??
Turn on prospect and they show on the minimap in the corner
Not the big map with m
Use Lay of the land to point to the nearest node
ahhhh jeez
i think i disabled the minimap and im only using the big one
thanks ❤️
Yeah you'll want that regardless
is there a way to check how many shards i have ?
Inventory > key items and crystals
guys i got the starter edition with ARR and Heavensward recently and now i wanna play a Viera so I can buy shadowbringers directly or do i need stormblood in between?=
You buy endwalker
You physically can't buy stormblood or shadowbringers anymore
Cause it's in endwalker
hmm there is a site selling the gamecode for shadowbringers and its half the price of endwalker
Very high chance it's a key reseller
And can threaten your account
You're trading the gear in
So.yes it's gone
Remove it first
A shot in the dark, but i need some help upgrading our FC's submarines, we already have max surveillance (220) and we are not discovering many new districts, the sup should be rank 90 after this trip and I'm not sure what to do to, any advice is appreciated (already unlocked the modified schematics too)
hey guys is it worth to penta meld battle gear to get faster spirit bonding? (cheap melds i mean)
if its free yeah sure why not
well i do kinda need to invest a bit , nothing crazy

yoo i am a free trial player, soomeone told me i dont need to buy the complete editon to get all the dlc, should just buy starter edition+endwalker and would get all the dlcs that way, is that true?
Either way works. Complete is the same as starter+endwalker.
The latest expansion always comes with the previous expansions that aren't included in starter.
Complete Is just everything on one package
i see thanks!
I need help with a hotbar thing because there was no explanation of it in the video . On the right side of the hotbar, how is he able to put savage claw, and wicked talon on there but when I try to put it on there it just says “this action cannot be assigned to a hotbar”
The video itself is from ShB by the looks of the exp bar
Yea there wasn’t really any endwalker videos
Anyway, those actions are one button now. You have a new one, Double Down, that you could put in one of those spots
Are they all on burst strike or another action
Is what on burst strike
Hey everyone! This might be a stupid question but;
Is the best gear only attainable from extreme or savage raids? Or can u get it from normal difficulty raids also.
Best best gear is a mix of upgraded tomestone gear and savage raid gear.
Jugular rip, and savage claw
The combo starts with Gnashing Fang. That's the one you put on your hotbar. It will change to Savage Claw and Wicked Talon as you go through the combo. Burst Strike is separate.
That's on gnashing
But chipping away at tomestone gear is good enough for most content
!action Savage claw
Ohhh ok thank you
combo action Gnashing
Continuation is the ability button for weaving the followup ogcds between the gcds.
Ok. Thanks. I'm new and got a ways to go before I can even attempt any of that lol. I'm still in stormblood. I'm rocking the shore set as of now. Is that the best I'll get pretty much besides savage raiding?
Until lv65 dungeons
Oh ok. What's upgraded tombstone gear? The shire set I'm using?
Yeah
Shire is already upgraded for QoL
Oh cuz I'm level 70 now lol
Oh ok
is the Alexandria set the best from rowena? Or shire? I'm a dragoon if that matters
Ah ok
You don’t need to have gear higher than 60 when you can’t access content higher than 60.
Regardless of what your job level is.
When comparing two sets with equal ilvl you take whatever has better substats for your job
Only a thing at endgame
Shire is best, Alexandrian gear from Alex savage is equal ilvl and not worth getting for gearing purposes
Yah I know I'm basically just wondering if the best is locked behind savage raids. Wich it is. Makes sense. I play destiny 2 alot and usually the best stuff is locked behind gm nightfalls and trials of Osiris. If anyone plays destiny 2 you know what I mean lol
Shire is your gear to have from level 60 to 65ish.
Ah ok! Thanks!
Only at current endgame is the best gear locked behind savage.
Ok so the current best gear is locked behind the savage raid(s) in endwalker?
Yes
At endgame there are two max ilvl sets which you mix and match to get your BiS substat distribution.
One set is the savage drops, the other set is tomestone gear augmented with materials which are also savage drops
So if I want the second best it's locked behind savage stormblood raid(s). Wich are still pretty bard I assume
What do you mean
Ah ok
Old savages are pointless
Shadowbringers I meant not stormblood
The augmented tomestone gear becomes accessible to people who don’t do savage via catchup mechanics when the savage tier is no longer new
Old expansion just has no relation to endgame
I guess yah that's true. But it still is technically the second best
No
The current expansion is Endwalker
Not remotely???
It's literally 10 fucking levels behind
The 85 dungeon gear is better than shadowbringers savage stuff
You'll habe to excuse me I'm still trying to wrap my head around all this. MMO's are basically new to me.
Ah ok.
Past expansion BiS is outclassed by leveling gear in the following expansion
It’s a vertical treadmill
Old expansions have no interaction with current expansion stuff
guys is there a ramen shop in kugane/shirogane?
how do you progress past second lieutenant with you gc? they just say there's no promotions at this time
no but jimmy dean is there, 😄
You have to level up your GC squadron
you do the flagged mission
ahh ok thanks
Complete the level 40 squadron flagged mission for 1st Lieutenant, complete 5 different dungeon command missions for Captain
Captain is the max available rank
So, assume I suck and can't do savage raids. I should be getting dungeon stuff in each expansion ?
Savage is a completely optional part of the game
And it’s something you don’t do until level cap
The leveling process to reach endgame is simply doing the MSQ
It’s casual
Hello how do I unlock these? It doesnt say how when I hover them
Old savages’ rewards are only useful as cosmetics
Ok thanks.
the best gear in the game is always from the current expansion. savages from older expansions dont matter because you can unsync them
Those are collectible actions, you need to unlock collectibles in Mor Dhona
the 2nd best gear in the game would be the tome gear from the current expansion iirc
Ah thanks Lyon
Yes endgame gear progression takes place at endgame and does not involve previous expansions
So like when you reach level 90, for starters you get your free ilvl 560 job gear given to you
Ah ok. I get it now I think lol
What's the range of a shout? will a shout from Limsa Lower decks reach Upper decks?
gearing is just > get to 50 > poetics gear > 55 > msq/dungeon gear > 60 > poetics > repeat until max level
Entirety of your current zone. Upper and lower decks are separate zones so no
Oh thanks
Ok thank you
AtMa drops really are RNG. HALF day only had two drop, just need 4 more.
Anyone had nightmares of this? Zodiac weapons.
thats not even the bad step
Hahaha cheers Cerb and hello
I am trying this one after Anima, it is a breeze now for me
Then you can get 570 gear from uncapped Aphorism tomestones, 580 gear from normal mode raids or crafted, 590 gear from capped Astronomy Tomestones, then 600 (BiS) is from savage drops and augmented Astronomy tomestone gear (augmentation also requires savage until catchup mechanics are introduced in later patches)
The books eh?
Atma wasn't too bad for me, took about 2-3h or so
1h was in 1 zone tho
So if you got shit rng it can take ages
I be working from home this week, so we will see.
Alternating between level 10 fates and 30-40s
Atma drop rate is ballpark 20% now, shouldn’t be too bad unless the heavens curse you
Thanks guys, will push through. I mean, first Anima was a nightmare but now I have 4. So okay we give Zodiac a try.
what does yellow and red aether current mean?
Is fine now.
is there a duty that gives you like 20 astronomy tomestones ?
Five currents from quests
, four found in the zone with aether compass (ten in Endwalker)
All 90 dungeons give 50 astro and pandemonium normal gives 10 astro
i know green and white stands for the ones on map but what does yellow and red means?
There's no yellow and red
Alright I think I understand a little better. And that formula stays the same in every expansion?
should i just do 2 raids instead of a dungeon ?
They're probably about the same time depending on the group
Yep. Gear progression happens at endgame, from level cap sources
hmm
Should probably. Would help people like me alot. Lol. I'm sorry for being such a sprout lol :p hahah
Dungeons about 15-20, 2 raids probably just about the same
ill do a dungeon then w/e xdd
Alright. And by capped astronomy tombstones u mean capped I inventory like poetics (2k) or capped as in u can only get so many per day?
It’s so formulaic we already know what ilvls and types of duties we’ll see this expac
You can only get 450 a week
450 per week
Ah ok. And the set is how much? Like 3k tombstones prob altogether. So a few weeks it would take to get the set?
question, how many level up jewels are there?
Yes, but you won’t get the full set
whats a level up jewel
i have seeing one thats lets you gain xp faster up to level 80, is there others like that or
BiS is a mix of raid gear and tomestone gear
Yeah if you raid then you’ll be mix and matching savage drops with tomestone gear
menphinas earring?
chest and legs are 825, arms/head/etc are 495, accessories are 375, weapon is 1k
each
WHAT
yes, i know i can't get it as its a preorder bonus, but is there others jewels like that?
Ah ok.
Makes it much better to buy for prog
They said that in the 6.0 patch notes lol
They said this during the live letter prior to Endwalker
Yes but if I don't I'd need the full tombstone set I guess
theres one for each expansion as preorder bonus, then theres some items that increase xp up to lv 30 and stuff like that but not higher

Expensive but it's something to grind for
If you don’t wanna raid sure
i could have just bought the weapon 
Yes . Thanks :)
Then that would cost like 5635 tomestones
oh god..........
And you don't need to go buy some dumb rowen tokens either...just bring the tomes + tomestone
But ultimately not that important if you’re not doing savage
i mean in dungeons you get synced to like 570 ? iirc
No
also in 6.1 youll be able to augment tome gear from casual content iirc
You don’t get synced in endgame dungeons…
unless they change that too
Yea lol over 12 weeks to get the full set hahah
I think the msq 90 one is or was synced, but I don’t have proof of that
Yeah 6.1 should add augmentation items for gear and accessories to alliance raid token exchange and hunt currency
It’s not
By like 6.4 it probably will be
Red aren't completed, yellow is completed
ahhh i see
Yellow comes from quests
thx for the answer
They’re yellow and green. Only empty slots are reddish
The top row (yellow) is for the quests, bottom (green) for the currents
Green from map
in smileton and stigma scape you actually don't get synced, it's true just checked but on dead ends you do
😠 how dare ye /s
the upgrade token from alliance raid gets you to 590 ?
oh no wait tomes are 590 then it gets you to 600 ?
if it follows previous patch cycles yes

regular radiant is 590
I see
yes, alliance raid tokens will allow you to augment the 590 tomestone gear to 600
barring the weapon until later
barring the weapon? I see
weapon is added later, around same time as savage unlock
i finish heavensward and now reach post haevensward. should i now get all aether current first before continue doing quest or later?
because its like 20+ quest
for aether current
I would recommend getting all Aether currents during MSQ
but some are side quests that we need to do independently
That shouldn’t be a problem
They are all conveniently placed to be accessible during MSQ
They take a few minutes each
All the blue quests for them take place in the same areas you're doing the story
Like a 2min side treck
is the heavenswhere website not updated?
there are 15 aether current per map
it only indicates 9 on my map
Outdated yeah
they haven't updated the older expacs
so they still show the original amount of currents required
Aether currents are so few that I don’t think it’s worth seeking a guide
is there any updated websites?
Simply do bluequests on your map and use your aether compass
Just spam the compass and do the blue quests
i miss some collecting ones
Use the compass
and the maps are not fully shown yet
Use your aether compass
so the quests arent fully discoverable either
Use your aether compass
They show regardless
in expac zones generally are the ones that have aether currents
Usually 1 in the main city, one blue current quest should be at the pillars
a few exceptions for the ones that unlock beast tribes, but a fair few of those are aether current quests to begin with, they just are longer than the initial aether current quest
Looks like a realm remapped is updated, but yea just compass is enough
Yep one in the pillars, the rest all in their respective zones
Just do the blue quests
If a blue quest doesn’t show a current as one of its rewards then skip it
Or do it anyway, cause blue quest 
You have the power, a guide is completely unnecessary
Uh, my mailbox is kinda full when I purchase from ffxiv online store. Will the item be sent again after I clear some space in my mailbox?
Yes, you can press the Send delivery request to try and help push it along and tell the server you're ready basically
So just hit it and wait
wait, where's that request button again?
In the mail
Little circle button at the top of mailbox window
Still might take a long time after you’ve pressed it
Oh! I'll try that! Thank you!
what are the typical/common ways statics allocate savage loot (coffers/upgrade mats) ?
Anyone has any idea on when will tonberry open some character creation slots?
Feed jobs in order of highest personal dps
so adps not rdps ?
Yeah
I see
anyone got really good party list layout setup
Because gear doesn’t make a dancer’s raid buffs buff more.
Could ask around or browse UI screenshots in #protips-and-ui
so this is an objective solution to allocate loot, are there any other ways to do it ?
That’s basically the way if you care about efficient allocation at all
Otherwise just roll
so in that way you check fflogs to check who has the highest aDPS or look at like really high percentiles/max percentiles and choose based on that ?
You don’t need FFLogs
Personal dps right there on act window is fine
But it’s just like common sense
Give to the blm and/or sam first
Then down the list to the ranged last
Then probably the tanks then the healers
act updates every 0.5 secs or so is it really accurate ?
Only if the piece is actually in that players BiS of course
Where do you think the numbers on FFLogs come from
Act is the parser for this game.
no i mean looking in game is inaccurate, uploading it gives you the overall, like total amount of dps + not sure but you could check average adps even
The jobs that do the most personal dps get first dibs on gear
promotion
yeah that makes sense
There’s not really any more qualifications that need to be added
Rank-ups
alright makes sense that way
ohhh how do i do that
Speak to gc personnel officer, apply for promotion
Increased seal cap and more stuff in the shop
ahhh i see~
so i should just aim to hit the highest rank first?
Yep
ooo okiez!! thank youu
i rmb there was something that i could only do 3 times in a day or something
but cant rmb what it was
Beast tribe quests
ahh yess~ where do i get those at 😮
When melding spell speed, looking at akhmorning's chart am I just ensuring I can reach the next row, or are only certain rows on the chart worthwhile? (every 3 or 5 or something?)
Consult the balance to find the optimal skill speed tiers for your job if applicable. Use one of their BiS sets.
!faq balance
That's where I was was directed to use the akhmorning page from.
Be very careful about blindly melding Spell Speed. Unfortunately, this is one of the most dangerous stats to have prioritized, as it has the largest tiers. You can easily go upwards of 50+ almost entirely wasted stats (Almost two whole X materia!) that do quite literally, basically nothing. I would always reference either Akhmorning's Spell Speed stat tiers or etro.gg's built-in tier identification when melding.
On what job
AST. My sps was sitting at 778, I can reach the 824 row on the table if I pentameld a piece or two. Reaching 883 should be possible but only if I sac my crit materias for it so I wasn't planning to do that
