robust crow
#

first two bosses are relatively easy, 3rd boss is harder, 4th boss is hardest

void vigil
#

cool thanks so would you say the 4th boss of a current raid tier in savage mode is the hardest encounter of a patch?

boreal storm
#

6.2 is the next tier
6.4 will add the last

heavy wadi
robust crow
#

generally, yes

void vigil
#

is this tier called P1? (pandemonius one?)

ripe hound
heavy wadi
#

though in the case of asphodelos p3s may be more difficult...

void vigil
ripe hound
void vigil
boreal storm
#

Pandemonium is the raid series

heavy wadi
heavy wadi
void vigil
#

right

heavy wadi
#

yes

void vigil
#

got it ok

#

and can someone explain ultimate

ripe hound
void vigil
#

is it unlocked after savage?

ripe hound
#

So they remake some old fights and put them together into one big super hard fight

#

Yeah but not really

#

As in, each ultimate require clearing a specific savage boss to unlock

#

But it’s not really “unlocked” by the savage floor...

void vigil
#

is the best gear in the game dropped from Ultimates?

ripe hound
#

Nah

#

I mean yeah, the gear is good

heavy wadi
ripe hound
#

It’s slightly better than the savage gear

#

Like, extremely slightly

#

But generally no one go do it to use the weapon

#

They drop shiney weapon you show other people for street creds

#

But yeah, most people use the ultimate weapons for glamour

#

No one really seriously use them for farm parse... I think

boreal storm
#

Ultimate weapons get out classed like immediately

#

And with all the prog time it takes...

finite topaz
#

Ultimate weapons are better than the savage weapons when they are current, by a very small margin

#

But by the next tier(every 2 big patches) it stops being the strongest weapon

finite topaz
#

For example, to unlock TEA, you do E4S

#

There is an ultimate for O4S and then another one for O8S, IIRC

#

We currently only have 3 ultimates

boreal storm
#

We’re getting 2 more over the EW patches

finite topaz
#

Yes, that's the plan

last kayak
#

is bozja worth the exp after 80?

narrow jay
#

People absolutely used it to powerlevel to 90 after the expac drop, so, make of that knowledge what you will.

#

Mar 4th pll has no interpretor? Does that mean we wont understand their stream?

remote lintel
#

if theres no translator then yes it will be in japanese

#

the translators here will probably do it

narrow jay
#

Live Letter from the Producer (PLL)

#

it's a livestream where they talk about upcoming game information, overall plans, etc

remote lintel
#

and its 6.1 so its going to be spoilers

indigo cosmos
narrow jay
#

Given that it's scheduled for a normal time period in Japan, and therefore absolutely ass'o'clock in the morning NA time, it's likely they consider their potential English audience will be fairly low.

vestal needle
#

Really sad thats happening

remote lintel
#

thats normal for live letters

narrow jay
#

I mean ... welcome to an oblate-spherical planet with a day/night cycle.

#

Same thing happened with the winter Olympics this year.

#

It's a normal time of day for them, and we're asleep.

strong elbow
#

I’m having issues connecting to the server currently is this normal?

remote lintel
#

having someone translate all of them and taking time to repeat everything the devs said is also ass

hot eagle
rocky panther
#

there any way to teleport my char to a different area outside limsa on mogstation? stuck there due to maintenance

remote lintel
#

no

hot eagle
#

only thing you can do is wait

odd spoke
#

What time will free trial be available

boreal storm
#

(Time may vary)

hot eagle
#

we only know sometime today they didn't tell us a hour only that is comes back on the 22nd

rain flower
#

is there a way i can show the global cooldowns in a noticable way?

tropic flame
#

you can get mods for that

rain flower
#

yeah but all the mods i see adjust the appearance

Are manufactured/breach/puppet's coins used for anything anymore? (is it safe to toss them?)

If you got scrips laying around, it costs 800 of em

craggy tinsel
#

for the ARR beast tribes do you need to get the ixals to 6 or 7 before you do the allied quest?

boreal storm
#

7

craggy tinsel
#

(the one that affects all the tribes)

#

okay

proud mirage
#

if i don't pay my sub will items i'm selling on þe market board still be up?

jovial quarry
#

Items posted will stay on the MB for one week from the time you last interacted with the retainer who has the items posted.

proud mirage
#

ah, regardless of sub, john gotti, and þank you

#

sub is about to run out, and i intend to take a break, so was just asking

grand light
#

for crafter collectables, you can do a collectable one level higher than your job level right?

boreal storm
#

No, you can’t turn in any collectibles higher than your current lvl

lost grove
#

Is there anything similar to quan ?

cursive ridge
#

the itemlevel check for duty finder happens when you press 'queue up' right

#

as in, i can change my ilvl after that point and still get treated as the initial entry?

boreal storm
#

No, you can’t

cursive ridge
#

but how would the system know i changed my ilvl if i say swapped jobs while waiting

boreal storm
#

You have to swap back to the job you originally queued with

cursive ridge
#

but the choice of which duty i am eligible for already happened at that point did it not

boreal storm
#

And if you were able change your item level afterwards, people could lower it to below the requirements. Which would make 0 sense for the queue

cursive ridge
#

you can change gear inside a dungeon

boreal storm
#

That has nothing to do with what I’m saying, pretty sure you’re not allowed to lose item levels

cursive ridge
#

isn't that precisely how you get crystal tower in your alliance roulette

solemn jewel
#

No you wear bad gear before u q

boreal storm
#

^

solemn jewel
#

Then inside they swap their gear up again

cursive ridge
#

yes that's what i'm saying

boreal storm
#

No it’s not

solemn jewel
#

You have to be on the job and ilvl you qd with when initiating the dungeon

#

Inside u can do whatever

regal pawn
#

Weird wording

#

But yes

#

You can put on shit gear
Queue up
Then put your good gear back on

#

At least I think so

cursive ridge
#

i know that, i was only asking which is the point the game checks the itemlevel

regal pawn
#

On queue up

#

Afaik

boreal storm
#

When you queued

cursive ridge
#

what about player withdraws, does it recheck then?

boreal storm
#

You’re still queued so no

cursive ridge
#

makes sense

#

they really shouldnt have made crystal tower so important to relic weapons and spread it to all alliance raids. else it promotes degeneracy like this

regal pawn
#

No lol

#

The degeneracy is promoted by CT being braindead

boreal storm
#

People just want quick roulettes

cursive ridge
#

both are factors

boreal storm
#

Not really

regal pawn
#

Relic ain't got shit to do with it

#

Cause people queue for relic CT directly

#

No gear shit

wanton smelt
#

Is it still possible to get 15 days of playtime for reaching level 30 on oceania?

jovial quarry
#

Should be, as long as the servers are designated as New servers.

#

Which they are

autumn hedge
#

Where is the best place to level a lvl 87 healer?

boreal storm
#

The 87 dungeon/roulette

balmy gate
#

Do you guys know the best way to level a job?

solemn jewel
#

!faq altleveling

zinc orbitBOT
solemn jewel
balmy gate
#

Summoner/scholar are easy because they're tied to each other but my paladin leveling feels like a drag

solemn jewel
#

Oh just do dungeons on tank

balmy gate
#

I do hunting logs and the occasional duty finder if tank is the AIN

#

Hunting logs do get really boring though

jovial quarry
#

Main story progression. Barring that, run the highest level dungeon you can excluding dungeons for specifically levels 50, 60, 70, and 80.

balmy gate
#

I'm saving msq for summoner (main)

#

Just gotta tank aurum over and over then lol

boreal storm
#

It’s easier to just use scholar and dungeon it up

wind zephyr
#

Is there market board in ishgard restoration?

solemn jewel
#

Nope

#

Have to go to the Jewelled Crozier

wind zephyr
#

Noooooo

leaden ginkgo
#

is there any beginner guide you would recomend on youtube?

warped nest
#

Weskalber, for beginners guide on Jobs and combat basics

#

Currently they are working new guides accomodating the changes Jobs received in Endwalker

#

But their Shadowbringers Job guides are still decent to teach you the basics

#

(obviously go for Endwalker guides if they are available for your Jobs)

got a question if anyone's around, but I think I know the answer already. just want to confirm

#

I do not own endwalker yet as I am still playing through shadowbringers. however, I hit level 80 already and my exp gains stopped. is that only because I don't own endwalker?

oak lily

Yes

rain marlin

How do I separate them again?

warm snow

Well if you're already having issues with the base game on your "potato" a plugins not gonna help that

queen gulch
#

What time does the free trial come back?

warm snow
#

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

#

We don't know

#

They just said various timea

queen gulch
#

Didnt they say theyd let us know

warm snow
#

Turning off the free trial is pretty unprecedented

covert marlin
#

any tip on catching olgoi khorkoi? I'm using HW bis gear, with sand leeches as bait in heatwave weather, everytime I mooch off Storm Rider, I either get Caravan Eel, Dune martha or fish escaped.

warm snow
#

Keep going for it

#

There's really nothing you can do

solemn jewel
#

This is all we got

covert marlin
#

It escaped 8 times already, hopefully I'm not missing anything

forest lark
#

One more question regarding optional item purchases. As I am currently not home, have no access to my ffxiv, but sub is active, if I buy items from mogstore online, how long will the items stay in mailbox in game

#

before they disappear or they stay until I claim then

forest lark
#

Thats plenty then, thanks

modest igloo
#

the bigger thing is that it takes a decent amount of time to actually get the mail itself

#

since mogstation is... slow at best

#

last item i ordered took me like 4 hours lol

forest lark
#

Yeah, I jist wanted to prepare some stuffs like name change and fantasia to have it ready, dont want it to disaappear if I dont claim it hh

#

Yeah, I rememver, I actually waited 6 hours for school uniform to arrive at the time of release

#

that was crazy times lol

#

Bought it at 7am and got it around 1pm xd

warm snow
warm snow
forest lark
#

Hm, I agree, but yeah I think that was the longest I waited for a costume to arrive, I was literally standing near mog mailbox for 6 hours and made some friends meanwhile xdd

#

I also dont remember exactly, but I think one of the items I ordered disappeared from mogmailbox when I didnt claim them, but it was less than 60 days donno what happened

#

thats why I asked here to make sure btw hh

#

Im sure I didnt claim it, I also ordered it when I was on a trio, got home, saw it in mailbox, but didnt take it for whatever reason, and then few weeks later it was no longer in mailbox

Little question here : I played the game a few months back in 2021. I bought the starter edition on steam for 10 bucks, which, to my understanding, had 30 days of subscription. Now, how could I subscribe again? I can't take the starter edition again, can I?

warm snow

Login to your account and buy game time @trail quartz

#

!faq subprice

#
Subscription Prices

90 days/3 months = $41.97
180 days/6 months = $77.94

warm snow
#

Most people use the entry sub

storm sapphire
#

So for the lottery system would I be able to place a bid for a personal house, and a bid for my FC, or do I only get 1 bid total?

warm snow
#

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

storm sapphire
#

Understandable, thank you

trail quartz
solemn jewel
#

Log in, there should be a big buttin called add subscription

trail quartz
#

I only have "Transfer to Full Game", my account status says I'm on free trial

#

But I can't be on free trial since I already bought a month-

solemn jewel
#

Are u sure u logged into the account that is connected to steam

trail quartz
#

I should be, but is there a way to check that? I couldn't find any way to check for connections via steam, maybe via the mog station?..

#

May have borked somewhere xd

full patrol
#

free trial is now live guys!

solemn jewel
#

Under the 2nd tab on the left should be a table that shows all the versions u bought

full patrol
#

atleast for my region.

solemn jewel
#

If steam isn't on there, then u might be on a wrong account

trail quartz
#

Yeah, there's nothing ticked in there, might be the problem

#

Thanks for the help, I'll check in later if I still couldn't fix the problem

warm snow
#

Steam purchase just gave you a code

solemn jewel
#

They played it back then tho

warm snow
#

Doesnt say he redeemed it

#

Could be a mix up

solemn jewel
#

But don't u have to redeem the code if u "played"

warm snow
#

/misunderstanding

#

He's on free trial

#

Probably kept playing on that without doing the actual redemption

trail quartz
#

Tried reedeming again, didn't work of course

warm snow
#

Was this on free trial tho?

#

Okay that probably means different account

trail quartz
#

Not to my knowledge

leaden ginkgo
#

how do i see what expansions i own on mogstation

warm snow
#

It's literally on the first page...

trail quartz
#

Yeah I must have linked my steam elsewhere somehow

leaden ginkgo
#

its literally not

solemn jewel
#

Service Account Status

#

Then scroll down

leaden ginkgo
#

thanks

warm snow
#

The ff14 page

solemn jewel
#

Mogstation opens on dashboard, the table with the expansions and CE's is under status

leaden ginkgo
#

Is the free trial still unavailable? I have 2 sites, 1 says its available other says no... Idk if 1 is a scam

solemn jewel
#

Check on the ffxiv website

#

It should be available sometime today

leaden ginkgo
#

its odd because both seem to be the site

green grail
#

it is the same site

leaden ginkgo
#

so weird how one says yes and other no

#

oh i see how it says GB in the first one, is that also a region? since i am eu

#

should be also eu right?

solemn jewel
#

Nah GB counts as EU

#

Just the site is different due to currency

green grail
#

i don't see either one saying it's unavailable so maybe you have some old version cached?

old prairie
#

To progress through the 8 man raids quests for each expansion do I need to also do the savage raids?

agile laurel
#

no

#

savage raids are always irrelevant to narrative

#

pretty much all of the unlock quests can be summarised as

'haha what if though'

'savage unlocked'

old prairie
#

But I mean for some quests like unlocking the hard version of dungeons you also need to complete it in order to finish the quest

solemn jewel
#

u just unlock the savage raids, no quest to actually do them

agile laurel
#

Oh i see what you mean, no

old prairie
#

Thanks

agile laurel
#

you don't even need to unlock them at any point

#

you can just ignore it

what button should i press to show "set 2" hotbar without having to scroll over with R1 + Rectangle, triangle, circle, and X. i tried that settings but i couldn't figure it out

probably this

you tap r2 and it cycles through those

only need 1 button for me

#

Where can you get lvl80 poetics weapons ?

sleek needle

Or Eulmore

agile laurel
#

eulmore, or more conveniently crystarium

#

rich gazelle
#

What's the fastest way to level 80-85?

sleek needle
#

Dungeons if your queue is decent (<15mins)

#

Bozja otherwise

raw granite
#

I didn't find them in Eulmore

green grail
#

did you finish 5.0 msq?

rich gazelle
#

80 poetics is the Crystarium I think. right by the aetherite

solemn jewel
sleek needle
#

Its not all in the same npc in eulmore

But yea you need to finish 5.0 first as vis said

im trying to play FFXIV

but steam says its unavailable in my country

which country?

sleek needle

Is the country available on the stand-alone version?

inner bane
#

nope

#

im from Malaysia

patent citrus
#

how do they deal with the region, cause I've seen people from MY playing in Tonberry/Kujata

inner bane
#

but idk

#

what region should i sign up on

#

the only downside of this is im missing recent expansions am i right?

rich gazelle
#

Do I recall correctly if the 79 dungeons give more xp than the 80?

patent citrus
#

registering correctly is important

#

ask people who play in your region how they do it

inner bane
#

i sont have anyone who is playing it

#

well

#

i will try

#

maybe i will register in EU

sleek needle
inner bane
#

my facebook it private

#

so i went here to ask about it

#

i just wanna experience FFXIV

sleek needle
#

From googling it looks like most people made a EU SE account, and selected UK as country. Just works with stand-alone it seems tho catto_shrug

patent citrus
#

It's literally in the headline, lol

inner bane
#

yeah

#

im doing that

#

but not gonna pay for the subscription

the free trial is supposed to be back but not for the steam version does anyone know how if they changed anything? or do the people who want a free trial just wait longer untill they bring it back

steam just takes longer

#

its not for me, but I would like to share it with my friends that do

the same thing happened when the game went back on sale

I see

So the bots caused the maintenance, ohh well

ARR relic weapons: Zodiac and Zeta

For someone who has had experience, what makes this expensive? I think I can craft some items

twilit arch
#

the materia and desynth items if you can't desynth

#

though iirc perfect items aren't as expensive nowadays

modest igloo
#

was about 90k a pop on brynhildr

obsidian patio
#

there's also 4 vendor items that cost 100k each that you need

#

with no other method of obtaining them

modest igloo
#

the books are also somewhat annoying to get too

#

since its not just scrips

obsidian patio
#

so using Paragon's example of 90k times 8 for the Perfect Items along with the 400k worth of vendor items, you need just over 1m gil per zodiac weapon, not counting the 75 materia used in the novus step or the initial weapon for the first step.

I guess I will just stop at Nexus

100k is pennies in the ff14 economy

#

Big ask for free trial tho admittedly

#

Why hello Great CUL

leaden ginkgo
#

if i buy the game on steam do i get to finish it?

#

like full version

#

If you play it all in 30 days

#

Games still sub based

#

Also depends what you buy

the 10 euros on steam

I will do the Zodiac and Zeta passively, saving monies for 6.1

I mean I did not get a second shiny Skysteel tool because that costs 80k

The remaining 3 expansions are part of the Endwalker dlc

@leaden ginkgo the complete edition is base game + dlc so thats an option too

juiceboxsweat talk to the guy who refused to make a new account and had to pay sub so he can use his Steam still

So basically, I wasted my free trial

The free trial that just resumed is the equivalent of the starter edition with restrictions if you want to try it out

Had to buy base and subbed to start MSQ

A friend of mine bought the base game years ago and now wants to know if she does have free access to heavensward, since it is included in free trial, or if she needs to buy the expansions in order to play heavensward

If you type in the item name and go to stat and under shared model, click on it

Idk I would try them all out cuz im not even sure if they dye the same way either

Some of them might due different cuz fabric or it dyed weird, who knows until they try it out in game

#

Sometimes you think the shirt dyed, but nope it’s actually the random piece of leather that you can barely see that dyed haha

#

Garland tool at least would tell you where and what to look and from there you have to find it in game or some screenshot and see how it dyed on your own. But it’s a great tool

'Which world should I pick?'

You can play on any world on any datacenter within FFXIV. Aside from the languages spoken, the physical location of the servers, and the status of each world, there are no major differences. This also means population on a given server is quite meaningless.

The majority of content is cross-world, with the exception of Free Companies, Linkshells, and restrictions when visiting other worlds.

If you don't mind where you play, choose a world that is Preferred or New for character creation bonuses. Check world status by using !status <world name> or via the Lodestone. For information about the status types, use !faq worldtype in #kupo-bot-spam.

Notable worlds:

  • Balmung & Mateus (Role-playing)
  • Tonberry & Kujata (Large amount of Oceanic players)
  • Moogle (Large amount of French players)
  • Shiva (Large amount of German players)
    ANY CENSUSES OR WORLD STEREOTYPES BEYOND THIS IS INACCURATE BIAS AND SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY

Deep Dungeon Info

Deep Dungeon Play Guide

Effective Levelling Method
The commonly accepted method for levelling in POTD is to start at floor 51 and clear to 60, then reset the save and start back at floor 51, though if you don’t have floor 51 unlocked, 1-10 is an acceptable alternative.

For HoH the principle is the same, instead you’ll be running floors 21-30 instead.

but yes, currently the intention for datacenter travel is within that region

expanding it to other regions is still a bit of a question

Attributing a few instances of toxicity as proof that an entire datacenter, comprised of eight independent servers and tens of thousands of players, is inherently "toxic" is a sweeping generalisation of gross magnitude; and a few people saying so online, who are more than likely simply bitter about something or other, are not qualified to speak on the topic as a whole, and should not be listened to.

No it ain't

Why are you being like this

Rarely used aoe outside of dungeons
Maybe when group fate farming or something

pulsar escarp
#

please move on when it’s pretty irrelevant either way as well as incorrect

jade quartz

AoE is used primarily in dungeons and in FATE grinds

and FATE grinds aren't mainstream content

AoE = When exist more than 1 mob ( Used in Trials, Dungeons and open World like FATES)

sidequest are worthless

#

Do msq

jade quartz
#

!faq questicons

zinc orbitBOT
#
What do all these quest icons mean?

msq - These are how you reach the endgame and every other bit of content is locked behind it to some extent. MANDATORY
bluequest - These unlock a feature, instanced content, job actions, or a thing that is important for you to have. Do the ones related to your job/class and ones that unlock new content
sidequest - These usually have very little exp/gil as reward and are usually just part of the world/lore expansion. Mostly optional unless you are interested in doing them for the fluff
repeatquest - These are quests you can do more than once, how often you can repeat it is up to the individual quest.

jade quartz
#

do your main story and your class quests.

molten pond
#

nice

molten pond
modest igloo
#

so its more to focus on yellow sidequests for later

open coral
#

MSQ are "but thou must" content.

jade quartz
#

You can save them for never unless you want to do them for the fluff.

open coral
#

If you don't do MSQ, you can't go anywhere else.

jade quartz
#

sidequest are not very good for exp

open coral
#

Doing all of the sidequest in the game is not quite enough xp to level a single class.

molten pond
#

what is msq?

open coral
#

Main Scenario Quests

molten pond
#

lol thats alot

#

800 xD

open coral
#

They're the main storyline of the game, and take you through the entire adventure from level 1 to level 90 (currently)

#

It's literally 5 entire standalone games-worth of content.

molten pond
#

Nice so i dont have to do side quest to do a main story quest?

open coral
#

Nope

molten pond
#

i mean i get enough exp to lvl up

#

alright

#

thats nice

modest igloo
#

well a few times ye

open coral
#

Yeah, more than enough xp from MSQ to just go through straight.

modest igloo
#

theres a few 24 man raids and hard trials

#

but otherwise you can interact with as much as you want

open coral
#

You may hit a wall at a couple of points in the late ARR (first story arc) content where you need to do a couple of dungeons to level up and do the next MSQ, but for the most part you can go through with no issues.

#

!faq msqtracker

zinc orbitBOT
#
MSQ Tracker image guide
  1. Your current or next Main Scenario Quest. These unlock a majority of content in the game and MUST be done.

  2. An important Side Quest. This can be your Class and Job Quests, Side quests that unlock big features, or Side Quests that are REQUIRED to continue the MSQ. Look here if you can't continue your MSQ due to needing to complete a duty or sidequest.

By default the MSQ Tracker is located at the top-left of your screen.

open coral
#

Just do the quests indicated in the tracker ^ and you'll be good.

molten pond
#

And those extra expansions is that just extra side quest?

#

and level cap?

jade quartz
#

no

#

it's an expansion

limber hound
#

Direct continuation of the story

jade quartz
#

Another full length addition to the game

#

the size of a standalone game

#

with linear continuation of the main story

#

and a very large amount of content

open coral
#

Each expansion has its own story arc.

#

New zones. New story.

sleek needle
#

Starter is only the first 2 "books" , you have to buy endwalker to get the next 3 "books" frogeshrug

molten pond
#

is it with the same evil guy or another new story?

open coral
#

Yes and no.

sleek needle
#

It's all the same story that's connected but not always fighting the same thing/having the same themes

open coral
#

From 2.0 (A Realm Reborn) through Endwalker (6.0), we've had the same major villains running things behind the scenes. But each expansion also tends to have arc villains.

#

Think of it as a complete series of books. Each book has its own self-contained conflicts, but the series is also being driven by a main villain behind the scenes, who only makes an appearance at the climax of the final book.

#

As you go through the story, you're given hints (sometimes hints that you don't even know are hints) about the motives and endgame of that main villain, but mostly you're too distracted by the more immediate threats of war, invasion, and summoned gods that you have to kill.

#

The ilvl requirement for 87 isn’t high so you must be severely undergeared

#

Do you have pieces lower than i530?

faint flare
#

It's 515 so it means you aren't in cryptlurker

heavy wadi
jade quartz
#

Yep

remote lintel
jade quartz
#

Your gear is insanely low and I’m surprised you can even get through MSQ duties

remote lintel
#

holy shit it is

#

what happened to your cryptlurker gear

fresh gate
#

Buy cryptlurker and go to the marketboard to buy whatever high ilvl stuff you’re missing since it’s cheap

heavy wadi
#

how have you been able to do msq even, jfc

jade quartz
#

Buy level 80 cryptlurker gear with poetics in Eulmore for any slots that are currently lower than i530.

heavy wadi
#

your poor healers pensivewobble

fresh gate
#

Cutoff point for 515 is like 85 dungeon no ?

#

Because 83 gives you 520 gear

faint flare
#

515 is for 87

last kayak
#

isn't the lvl 80 stuff you can buy from Sharlayan better than the poetics stuff?

faint flare
#

85 is 510 required

jade quartz
#

No

boreal storm
#

Lol no

fresh gate
#

Till 87 it’s worse

last kayak
#

ah

remote lintel
#

vendor gear is NQ

boreal storm
#

Cryptlurker is the best 80 gear in the game period

fresh gate
#

But you carry cryptlurker up to 89 (considering you didn’t fuck up and not get the 89/90 gear for free)

leaden ginkgo
#

holy fuck kek yall are so fucking mean its insane. im not gonna explain to you everything about how I play the game so you can understand why I have this gear and not that other gear. I was just wondering if there was something I was missing

heavy wadi
#

we told you what you're missing

jade quartz
#

No one was mean.

heavy wadi
#

you are absurdly undergeared.

remote lintel
#

youre missing the whole cryptlurler set of gear that you buy with poetics at lvl 80 after you finish shb

#

which is i530

faint flare
#

530

boreal storm
#

530

remote lintel
#

which you do for every expansion until level cap

You are playing the game in a way that is not viable and is detrimental to others

#

Please buy cryptlurker

leaden ginkgo
#

it is completely viable and fine

boreal storm
#

No

jade quartz
#

That is incorrect.

faint flare
#

Your healers have hated you

remote lintel
#

if it was viable you would be able to do the dungeon lmao

faint flare
#

And been struggling

fresh gate
#

It’s not when you’re actively using worse gear than what you should have at a lower level

jade quartz
#

You have inflicted horror on your healers

heavy wadi
fresh gate
#

Your gear is worse than even crafted 80 gear

faint flare
#

Being at the bare minimum means everyone else has to pick up the slack and carry

heavy wadi
#

Unless you've been doing trusts you've been giving your healers constant heart attacks.

remote lintel
#

please don't try to tell people who have been playing the game longer than you what you think is viable

boreal storm

Making people carry your baggage is a dick move

my sage on the last dungeon barely used anything that wasnt kardia, I have been using the accesories from the free crystarium set that you get, the stats on that gear is the same as other gear with just a lower ilvl

#

I didnt wanna waste my poetics on the gear that raised ilvl

#

cause I know Im gonna want them later

remote lintel
#

.....kardia is a status you set and leave on

fresh gate
#

You do realize that higher lvl means better stats overall

jade quartz
#

ilvl is a measurement of stat scaling

leaden ginkgo
jade quartz
#

Higher ilvl gear has better stats

remote lintel
#

it heals people VERY LITTLE

fresh gate
#

Just because 80 gear is 80 gear doesn’t mean it’s “good enough” compared to cryptlurker

boreal storm
#

“I don’t wanna waste poetics on better gear”

jade quartz
#

Have you been single pulling dungeons

faint flare
#

Literally the first few quests give stuff higher than crystarium

fresh gate
#

It’s a complementary heal

heavy wadi
#

even single pulling.... that would fucking hurt

remote lintel
#

you're telling me your sage went through the entire dungeon without using a healing spell on you, thats simply impossible, especially with your low gear

faint flare
#

Clemency

fresh gate
#

I’m sure your sage had to use rhizomata in under 15s

faint flare
remote lintel
#

also saving poetics is unnecessary since the game throws them at you

fresh gate
#

But yeah the minimum ilvl is there to stop people with obnoxiously low ILVL of joining dungeons before you should hit you also shouldn’t be scrapping barely past the minimum requirement when there’s cheap to near free options on better gear

jade quartz
#

The stats on Crystarium are much lower than cryptlurker. Moreover even cryptlurker is low ish for 87 but it’s better than what you’ve got and will at least let you in the dungeon.

remote lintel
#

youre MEANT to spend them on the poetics gear at the end of each expac

#

thats the whole point

jade quartz
#

You may think a sage healed you last time with little more than Kardia, but this is unrealistic and you likely did not realise they were doing much more.

boreal storm
jade quartz
#

Poetics are handed out like candy and you don’t need to be frugal with them.

#

Go get your cryptlurker pieces

faint flare
#

Don't need to use much to heal if you single pull

heavy wadi
#

As a sage, if i got you as a tank I would leave

sandbag and wait for votekick availability, to prove a point.

didnt think I'd have to give full context but wtvr. I was doing msq on my AST, it hit 90 around the level 85 quests cause I had it over leveled. So I switched do doing the quests on my PLD just to get more practice with the job and to not waste the xp. the coffers you get pre 85 were all dropped on my AST cause its my main job and I wanted the gear on it. When switching to my PLD all I had was a lvl 80 crystarium set that I got ages ago, I popped all the coffers I got from that point forward but none of it was enough fr me to hit the ilvl requirement for the lvl 87 dungeon

boreal storm
#

Doesn’t matter

#

Gear up

leaden ginkgo
#

theres your context

remote lintel
#

buy cryptlurker

jade quartz
#

So buy your cryptlurker

warm snow
#

If you have poetics, get cryptlurker

fresh gate
#

Did you know

#

Cryptlurker is meant for ALT jobs

warm snow
#

500 ilevel is the min requirement for the first ew dungeon, so you need better gear to level it

fresh gate
#

And just to get the best gear for patch content

remote lintel
#

cryptlurker lasts til 85 but its enough to get you into all the dungeons

warm snow
fresh gate
#

I’m not wrong because it’s easy to buy so you can get it on alt jobs also

leaden ginkgo
#

why would you waste 2000+ poetics on an alt job lmao

fresh gate
last kayak
fresh gate
boreal storm
#

“Waste”

last kayak
jade quartz
remote lintel

because poetics are literally thrown at you and youre meant to spend them on the best gear in the game for that level?

warm snow
faint flare
#

What the fuck else is there to spend it on

leaden ginkgo
#

anima KEKW

faint flare
#

Literally been capped on poetics for months

remote lintel
#

you realize that cryptluker is better than all the gear msq gives you until 85

leaden ginkgo
#

Do old savage raids, 60/70/80, still have gear lockout restrictions?

jade quartz
#

And because you literally need it to progress because, as the game is informing you, your gear is literally too low

#

Buy cryptlurker

jade quartz
#

End of discussion

boreal storm
#

Progress > Glam

warm snow
#

I also fail to see how anything you've said is contributing to the conversation coward

leaden ginkgo
#

Thank you!

jade quartz
#

That’s the solution to your problem and is what your expected to do

last kayak
#

spending down poetics is one of the most tedious things you can do in the game. They keep re-capping and for some reason YoshiP has decided that giving you a 10k poetic bank is too technologically difficult

jade quartz
#

You should buy poetics gear at every expansion level cap

fresh gate
jade quartz
#

Poetics are not scarce

#

It is in fact the ideal use of them

remote lintel
#

you realize that cryptluker is better than all the gear msq gives you until 85
and this is true of all poetics gear in old expansions, because thats how gearing in this game works

jade quartz
#

Their prime function

warm snow
#

Tower of zott min ilevel is 500, just the crystarium gear you got from msq won't get you there fully

boreal storm
#

Talking about the 87 dungeon Kat

jade quartz
#

In case you think you need to save them for 90, you can’t buy 90 gear with them

#

There are separate tomestones for endgame.

remote lintel
#

^

last kayak
#

You can, you just have to wait for another expansion.

remote lintel
#

poetics are specifically for gear that isnt max level

#

max lvl always uses different tomes

jade quartz
#

Poetics are literally designed for what we are telling you to do.

fresh gate
#

Another source is again, also just go to the market board and buy one of the thousands of cheap HQ vendor gear that’s there

#

If you don’t want to waste your tomestones for the exact same purposes

jade quartz
#

Anyway you have received the solution to your problem

#

I’m gonna say let’s move on

remote lintel
#

i need to make a gearing flowchart like now facepalm

jade quartz
#

Spending gil instead of poetics would be inadvisable

fresh gate
#

The gear is CHEAP cheap, and you can’t buy all of the pieces of tomestone gear in one go

#

Also again, marketboard, it’s lower than vendor and HQ

jade quartz
#

Unless it’s really cheap

robust crow
#

i mean, there's nothing at level 90 to use poetics on anyway lol

jade quartz
#

But on my server that stuff goes for a chunk

robust crow
#

may as well just buy gear that immediately helps you

jade quartz
#

But as I said

#

Let’s move on please

heavy wadi
#

Poetics are very easy to get and theres no reason to hoard them since they have no relevance in current endgame

fresh gate
#

On light, crystal and Aether they’ve been lower than vendor and pretty cheap

heavy wadi
#

And yeah

heavy wadi
#

I'll stop.

robust crow
#

you're joking right

#

lol

leaden ginkgo
#

some of its pretty damn cheap. The point of confusion for me was that the base stats like block or just the damage stat on a weapon were lower on the higher ilvl gear

jade quartz
#

You need to buy hq only

remote lintel
#

dont buy NQ

#

it sucks

jade quartz
#

Nq stats are much lower

#

Also don’t look at block
