@dry bobcat so basically everyone has a job quest to 70 with it unlocking a big important skill

New jobs introduced from ShB on get a 10 level job quest series that unlocks a big important skill

robust crow
#

not sure you really noticed anything, that's not exactly a trend

warm snow
#

Skills with damage fall off after the first target aren't uncommon

robust crow
#

"unaspected damage" simply means it's magic damage and not physical damage

warm snow
#

But that's just to balance shit in aoe

modest igloo
#

a lot of lvl cap skills for 90 are "big fucking attacks that are also aoe"

#

unless ur a healer

warm snow
#

Imagine dealing 1k pot to every target in an aoe

#

That would be absurd

modest igloo
#

then you get some boring healing stuff idk

cursive ridge
#

i think it's rather more to buff that skill singletarget

warm snow
#

we want this to be usable in aoe, but we also want it to be your big strong finisher

modest igloo
#

or does that have falloff too

warm snow
#

Double down

modest igloo
#

oh ye lmao

warm snow
#

Both steps have falloff

cursive ridge
#

no, finishes have a big reduction

#

#

All 3 rdm finishes

#

Full confiteor combo

#

War Big ass flip

#

Shadowbringer

#

You get the idea

robust crow
#

it varies pretty significantly

#

BLM gets an upgrade to a single target move

#

SMN gets their fat summons

modest igloo
#

are the summons not aoe?

robust crow
#

don't really think there's any kind of general "rule" to the level cap skills

modest igloo
glossy flare
warm snow
#

We're getting off topic but tl;Dr almost everyone has some sort finishers with fall off doesn't make them all the same

glossy flare
#

the big summons even have a "better" aoe pattern

#

smol titan uses a cone, big titan is just aoe around target

warm snow
#

Fucking smol ifrit

#

The optimization there is a pain

#

Also it's ifrit that's the cone

glossy flare
#

oh was it ifrit with the cone? may have confused it

warm snow
#

Smol titan is aoe centred on himself

modest igloo
#

today i learned ifirt aoe was a cone

glossy flare
#

well... marginally better

glossy flare
#

big lvl 90 ifrit does not

warm snow
#

Thiccfrit

#

I couldn't help myself

odd wraith
#

If there is 'Desynthetizable: 100" written in item's description that means that my Desynth needs to be 100 or equal to get full possible loot from item desynth, yes? Do I get any benefits from going even higher than that?

warm snow
#

That's just it's desynth level

odd wraith
#

So what's the desynth skill level for then

warm snow
#

Having a higher desynth level will get you better drops from desynthing

pseudo pewter
#

I'm level 32 I have completed the arcanist quest line but thubyrgeim has not given me the summoner quest line how do I start it? Thanks!

odd wraith
#

So the '100' in item description doesn't really mean anything?

warm snow
#

You only level desynth by desynthing items that are up to 50 levels below your desynth level

pastel parrot
#

Just upgraded to 12.3 and had this error - can’t log on at all. Has anyone had any experiences with this and what can I do?

odd wraith
#

Oh okie

pseudo pewter
#

Okay thanks!

warm snow
#

So if your desynth level is 150 you get no exp

warm snow
#

Cuz I'm pretty sure it don't

pseudo pewter
#

@warm snow so do I need my main story quest line higher? It's only at around level 20

warm snow
#

Yeah keep going

#

EVERYTHING is locked behind main story progress

pseudo pewter
#

Thanks kat!

odd wraith
#

Last question
If I want to farm item with 100 dsync level for its material what desync skill would you say I need?

warm snow
#

More is better

pastel parrot
#

Fuck

warm snow
#

It's still rng at the end of the day

pastel parrot
#

Thanks it doesn’t

warm snow
raw matrix
#

so i bought msq skip to shadowbringers a long time ago, now i wanna start ishgardian restoration but it seems to be already completed? is that part of the msq skip?

warm snow
#

Nah it was a global server thing

#

Unlocking it you can do

glossy flare
#

you can still do all content associated with the restoration however

warm snow
#

And you can still use it for levelling crafters and gatherers to 80

faint flare
#

you still turn in stuff for xp

glossy flare
#

except for the leaderboards

warm snow
#

After 80 the exp becomes absolute shit

#

Like 1k exp per turn in

a question: how do other tanks deals with aggro in alliance raids?
context: ive been running dun scaith as drk and i noticed that very often ill steal the aggro from the mt even if i didn't mean to and shirked them before unless if my co-tanks are fellow drk(s). i tried turning off stance but its hard to pick up aggro when the mt died to tankbusters/provoke is off cooldown. any suggestions?

warm snow
#

If you take it, keep it

surreal bridge
#

(to be fair i feel like you can say i need to git gud™ but yeah... i like to hear others opinion thats not that at least)

warm snow
#

And don't turn off your stance

#

If you're that worried turn your stance on 10s ish into the fight

robust crow
#

alliance raids are casual content

strange coral
#

Shirk doesn't work on tanks in other parties iirc

warm snow
#

And if you take aggro again well then you're either out gearing or outperforming the other guy severely in which case you should be mt anyways

robust crow
#

in the end it doesn't really matter who has aggro

#

if you ripped aggro off the other beta tanks then keep it

#

if they really wanted aggro they'd do more damage

glossy flare
#

the most important thing is to not fight over the aggro tbh

#

if you have it, keep it, but if someone else vokes for whatever reason just let them

warm snow
#

If they end up provoke taking it back like a child you'll probably just rip it again

strange coral
#

Yea, just don't be spinning the boss if aggro is swapping

glossy flare
#

you'll just annoy people if the boss spins

robust crow
#

adversely, if you got aggro but didn't want it, just turn stance off

glossy flare
#

aside from that there aren't really any important tank mechanics in alliance raids anyway

#

I'm pretty sure most multi target tank busters automatically target the tanks regardless of aggro

#

(assuming they are alive)

surreal bridge
# warm snow If you take it, keep it

yeah usually id just pick it up but then i had runs where the mt just provoke the boss to which then i steal the aggro again, which makes the boss spins

robust crow
#

that's just the other tank trying to compensate

warm snow
#

Then sit on them and rip aggro to assert dominance

robust crow
#

but as stated

#

if they provoke and can't keep aggro

#

they succjust keep doing what you're doing and you'll get aggro back eventually anyway, or just turn stance off and continue on

surreal bridge
umbral dune
#

if they provoke and still lost it, there is no way they can maintain it, better to just keep it to avoid confusion to melee

robust crow
#

if they taunted off you

#

you're not the one annoying people

#

they are

warm snow
#

If you're outperforming them without using provoke you probably should be mt

#

Your gears probably better and that just makes it easier for healers

robust crow
#

chances are, if they can't DPS properly, they probably aren't mitigating properly either

warm snow
#

That guys shortcomings are not your problem

leaden ginkgo
#

looking to do a data transfer to the most populated NA server, any recommendations? thanks

umbral dune
#

you dont want to be mt, that is okay but you always need to be ready to become mt cus that is part of the job

warm snow
#

I know this sounds snarky or toxic or w/e but if you're taking aggro that way, you probably should be mt

robust crow
#

yea like either keep aggro or turn stance off, shouldn't be a big deal either way

leaden ginkgo
#

@solemn jewel@robust crowty, the reason i ask is because i wish to go to most populated NA server so i can find more things to craft and sell and find more friends

robust crow
regal pawn
#

most populated
more things to craft and sell
that would be very counter productive

heavy wadi
#

they're all pretty full

regal pawn
#

more people = more demand
but also more supply

so it'll either even out, or there'll just be a fuck ton of supply

surreal bridge
robust crow
#

they are synced down to your level anyway

fossil trench
#

Bold of you to assume levels = job knowledge 👀

robust crow
#

ilevel is irrelevant once you're past the sync

#

270 is definitely above (or extremely close to) dun scaith's sync

regal pawn
#

A) They just don't care about optimal play
B) The level you got synced to isn't that well balanced

robust crow
#

gear isn't going to make a difference unless they don't have it

regal pawn
#

Gunbreaker at 70 is a fucking fiend for example

#

and does low-end DPS numbers

#

compared to other tanks

#

it ain't always gonna be balanced before max, especially when they tweak jobs for expansions and shtuff

surreal bridge
#

i see, thanks for the feedback everyone! probably just have to stick near the mt so the boss doesn't have to spin if i rip aggro again (at the cost of getting cleaved in the face playdead )

sleek needle
#

Typically you stay 45° from MT so you don't take unnecessary dmg but also don't cleave the party if you do take aggro

robust crow
#

just be the alpha tank and rip aggro and keep it BlobCatShrug

How FFXIV's Meta Works

All jobs are good and viable in all content. The difference between meta and non-meta is minor, to the point that player skill is a significantly more important factor. Play what you enjoy/what interests you most, and you can make it work.

||I’m search for track of a woman singing, it’s the same riff as Eulmore theme “Pain in Pleassure”. I know exactly how it sounds in my head, but can’t find it in OST. I’ve heard it few times already, early Shadowbringers||

Whats the best job to use for killing? I was using mch but only had access to 3 movies and i didnt even know how to use one of them. I was just spamming my heated shots

heavy wadi
#

read your tooltips

regal pawn
#

the best job for killing is the one you're comfy on

#

go to Wolves' den and sort out your hotbar

noble pollen
#

Can i practice somewhere to see which job i want to use? Or do i always have to go in game to see the move sets?

heavy wadi
#

go to wolves den.

#

it'd be in system

#

i can hear other peoples characters making sounds

#

er

#

i mean like

#

vocal sounds

#

not sound effects from weapons

heavy wadi
#

you muted sound effects

#

double check your audio settings

or there's something wrong with your game install

celest spindle

#

they mean voice lines

#

like the shouts

which casters just

have you tried hitting a dummy for a bit to double check that you are certain your character isnt making any battle sounds?

have you adjusted your listening position

#

with a group ofc

#

but even then thats kind of w/e

celest spindle
#

is there a more efficient way of finding hunt targets than just scanning down the map like a printer

pure copper
#

ive found old reddit threads mentioning some plugins that will scan your game memory if youre ok with that

celest spindle
#

i would rather not

pure copper
#

otherwise no

#

i usually abuse the fact you can see hunt targets from pretty far away so i dont actually go to each exact coordinate, if that makes sense

faint flare

Msq and job quests

pure maple
faint flare
#

!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.

Mid-Stormblood small spolier below, it's a question
||People of Dotharl Tribe get named after a great warrior bearing the same name, right? What if one of them died before becoming a great warrior? Like if Mauci of the Seven Swords has never found his calling and died as a weakling, would his name be lost forever and thus line of Mauci's 'reincarnations' would end there?||

remote lintel

thats correct

#

also not really a spoiler

odd wraith
#

Better safe than sorry

#

Thank you, wanted to make sure

open coral
#

It's also not that they're "named after", but rather that the Dotharl believe in direct reincarnation.

#

As far as they're concerned, Mauci of the Seven Swords is the same person as the previous Mauci of the Seven Swords.

odd wraith
#

Yes I get that part

open coral
#

So it's not that dying without distinguishing themselves as warriors would end their name, but rather that they wouldn't expect to see that person reincarnated.

Seeing them as exactly the same person makes it easier to understand

remote lintel
#

a lot of the steppe tribes have lore that gets expanded upon in the next 2 expansions but people seem to sleep on them

#

and by that i mean their beliefs bring up topics that get expanded upon

open coral
#

Sadu kind of goes into it a little bit when you're introduced to her when she says "What, you think my name is a man's name? Well that's because I was a man in my previous life."

#

But she is Sadu because she always has been Sadu, from the Dothal perspective.

I love how much attention was paid to all three steppe tribes so far, or even four counting the mute ones in

#

Really makes the world feel more alive

open coral
#

They're very good at worldbuilding lore.

odd wraith
#

Like not everything revolving around ||Doma vs Empire||

open coral
#

There's a lot of it in the game alone, and then there's more in the Encylopedia Eorzea books.

#

Which are literally encyclopedias.

you can hide your character in base game but idk if it hides just the character or the weapon too

What class is the fastest for farming ARR atma fate?

oblique skiff
#

BLU

covert marlin
#

Need to equip zenith weapon for atma to drop tho 🥲

oblique skiff
#

oh right

#

do it on the job you need it for then

boreal storm
#

You have no other option

covert marlin
#

I'm planning to get it for every job so yeah, I can use any class for the atma

oblique skiff
#

I wouldn't know if you can do it with other zenith weapons equipped I did it on whm and never touched it again because of how horrid the books are omegalul

twilit arch
#

you can

covert marlin
#

Yeah you can since the atmas can be used for other zenith

boreal storm
#

I mean you can grind them so like why wouldn’t you

twilit arch
#

atma doesn't care which zenith you have equipped

#

so long as you have a zenith equipped

#

personally prefer phys ranged for lowbie fate grinding

covert marlin
#

Bard it is, thanks!

twilit arch

can also go with like one of the expac jobs since they tend to be fairly strong at low levels

the date will be revealed on the live letter on 4/1

It’s gotta be though right

robust crow
#

pretty strong guess, yes

but we don't know for sure until they reveal it

plush hound
#

It's sometime between now and the heat death of the universe.

limber creek
#

Is the heat death April 11?

robust crow
#

most likely april 12 or 19th

limber creek
#

Actually what is this heat death? An event in ff14?

heavy wadi
#

it's fairly easy to predict that it'll be the 12th

regal pawn
heavy wadi

the 2nd liveletter for a patch usually being like ~10 days before

limber creek

Unless it’s an April fools joke

robust crow

yea but anything could happen

it's between then and now

#

it'll probably be 12th

limber creek
#

Damn. Our entire universe is gonna die on the 12th. Crap

heavy wadi

they said on the last one they didn't want to reveal the pll date because the date for 6.1 would be easy to predict

I’m just glad we are getting an original story with this alliance raid series

#

No crossovers

robust crow
#

wdym we got an original story with crystal tower and void ark

#

and technically the nier raid was an original story

#

it pretty much had nothing to do with ffxiv though

regal pawn
#

Original to ff14 since those

#

No crossover
No past "was in past FF before"

plush hound
#

Eh, kind of. They were original stories but based off prior content. The new one coming up is totally 14.

surreal anvil
#

i didn't mind the cross over glamour options they gave us, though i do wish it was easier to get

heavy wadi
#

CT had a lot of references to ff1 and ff3 (?), mhach was the last ""original"" alliance raid

#

in that the only thing taken from other games was the bosses and a character

#

the twelve are unique to ffxiv though, so this will probably be the first truly original alliance raid, like asphodelos.

goldsmith, blacksmith, and armorer

some more than others

im planning on getting some of these DoH jobs to about lv 30, so just planning on which jobs to do one after the other

ill do armourer, blacksmith and goldsmith first then

my suggestion is to just get them to 20 and then do ishgard restoration

Hello, I stumbled upon a Reddit comment saying
'Note that if you don't exchange the zodiac relic for the nodes in the anima step, you have to bring the weapon to buy the replicas.

For ease of use, I recommend exchanging it.'

#

What does it really mean?

remote lintel
#

honestly dont know what that guy is talking about because ive never seen anyone trade the ARR relic for the HW step since its literally just doing fates

boreal storm
#

Exactly what it says

#

If you want to get ARR replicas you have to have the weapon on hand, unless you traded it in for the anima step

raven sage
#

Yeah if you don't turn it in you have to keep the arr relic for replicas

covert marlin
#

I almost complete my anima weapon without trading the old zeta in, is it fine to still trade it in now?

remote lintel
#

trading the ARR relic is for the crystal step on the HW relic

#

and that step only

raven sage
#

Yeah you're well past the point of it mattering

twilit arch
#

basically if you have a zeta, and you turn it in it makes buying replicas more convenient in the end

#

because you don't have to hold onto the zeta

#

if you don't turn it in, you have to keep the zetas if you ever want to buy replicas of previous steps

robust crow
#

less inventory clutter, for one

#

after you get the replicas, the weapon itself is useless

covert marlin
#

If I turn in my current zeta even though I almost finish my anima, I can still buy the replica the convenient way right?

twilit arch
#

well if you've almost finished your anima

#

turning it is useless unless you're doing another anima

#

since its only for the first step of anima

covert marlin
#

Yup yup I am planning to do them all

twilit arch
#

then ye you can turn in whatever zeta you have for any subsequent animas you make

covert marlin
#

Oke tyy

#

Anima weapon can't be put into glamour dresser too right?

robust crow
#

the replicas can

#

i can't remember if the OG weapon can

twilit arch
#

The first few steps can be (animated and awoken) but once you get it to anima and beyond it can't be. other than those, it has to be replicas

What do people do with their completed anima weapon then? Just store in retainer?

twilit arch
#

toss

#

or store on retainer

covert marlin
#

Rip

warm snow
#

Relics end up with custom sub stats so they're not compatible with the glamour dresser

twilit arch
#

since you don't have to worry about holding onto anima like zeta

covert marlin
#

What about subsequent relics from the other expansions, do they work the same way?

robust crow
#

i have a section on one retainer just dedicated to anima weapons

#

can't bring myself to toss em

covert marlin
#

Grind to the final step, get replica, toss

twilit arch
#

yep, completed eureka/resistance/etc can be tossed freely on the final step

#

replicas are easily purchaseable

its only the ARR relic that's awkward

as replicas were not a thing for it until HW

You may want to keep Eureka weapon for if you ever want to do Eureka or BA farming.

they include extra eureka stats

so no, rested exp is not used up

jade quartz

Physeos eureka weapon (fully upgraded + BA materials used to upgrade it optionally further) has elemental bonus to let you crush enemies in eureka even harder

warm snow

Well final form does

jade quartz

It’s great if you play eureka a lot

warm snow

The previous form which is identical glam wise doesn't iirc

jade quartz

It’s like the final form+

Totally optional and doesn’t even give an achievement

So it’s for eureka fiends

theres no way to work aorund taht so it "doesnt" always do that?

# calm sphinx Yea about gunbreaker after burst strike do u run out of no mercy 🤔

A common complaint with GNB currently is that fitting all potential cartridge uses (including extra ones from Bloodfest) and the full Gnashing Fang combo is essentially impossible. Iirc the GNB guide has your burst leave one or two GCDs outside of it, with the precise one left out changing depending on which minute you happen to be on at the time.

they are dyable but i dont know what part dyes

Some people level in zadnor zone 3 so they can get honors onto of it

is one better for grinding the weaps?

Bojza cause zadnor is only used for 1 set of one time only quests

Hmm, so no simple money making that's just enough to pay back my raiding needs. It can be a problem at some point.

Yeah, astromony is so easy to cap that I don't have to do anything for the rest of the week. That's why I don't do roulettes. So I get no tomes.

Some of the other ARR EX materials can be decent money for how fast you kill them, but they’re pretty volatile

leaden ginkgo
#

does endwalker ever go on sale

faint flare
#

Eventually

leaden ginkgo
#

so not yet, and probably not soon

faint flare
#

It's still only like 3 months and abit old

#

I wouldn't expect an expansion to go on sale within the first 6 months of its life

leaden ginkgo
#

yeah i forgor it came out recently, in my head stormblood is the most recent and endwalker is just floating in the void

#

So I am hearing conflicting reports, some people tell me melding poetics gear is a good extra source of damage/stats while now in novice network people are telling me I shouldn't ask stupid questions like "what melds do I use while levelling for SAM"

boreal storm
#

You don’t need to meld pre level cap

faint flare
#

Melds while levelling barely does anything cause you swap gear too often

#

And substats are tiny

I mean I'm getting insulted now in novice network that I'm asking stupid questions lol..

#

Just for asking this

tulip chasm
#

yeah, dont refer to that place for questions

#

go to here instead lol

twilit arch
#

sadly NN is a mixed bag v_v

#

since it requires self moderation by mentors

tulip chasm

NN can either be a decently chill place, or just a place for mentors to flex their burger king crown

The game also explains as you go

tulip chasm
#

oh god

#

also yes what pratai said, you dont need to refer to the guide for as long as you just read as you go along

#

the game teaches you slowly

warm snow
#

Read your tool tips, read the active help

#

Do your msq

#

Shouldn't have any problems

boreal storm

Press buttons, don’t die

if you need any clarification or questions specifically, you can go here

Do everything on and under the msq tracker

Well I added 3 mentors to blacklist.. wow.. legit insulting me for asking a question, think I'll just log off for tonight, goodnight all thanks for the help anyway

boreal storm

You can also just leave NN

#

I want to help people, but these are the people I'm being put in a chat with

But yeah you're right

jade stratus
#

Ok am I a bad tank for dying from 1 mob pull? In a level 71 dungeon?

faint flare
#

Are you using mitigation

boreal storm
#

Were you geared?

jade stratus
faint flare
#

If so then healer was shit

flat torrent
jade stratus

Healer was literally afk

They're fine

boreal storm
#

Nah

faint flare
#

Sage can easily keep people from barely losing hp

#

That healer you had were literally afk and not pressing buttons

jade stratus
#

I feel like I hve to try to pull 3 ads at a time or the sage couldn’t handle it

faint flare
#

They were shit

jade stratus
#

Granted I was a pld too

faint flare
#

Again

#

They were shit

jade stratus
#

I was trying to heal myself and mitigating

faint flare
#

Literally just press any button and you would be fine

#

They were basically afk

#

Sage cooldowns are very strong

jade stratus
#

I think they were dpsing

faint flare
#

Ah so the "I only heal with kardia" shitter

jade stratus
#

Ye

flat torrent
#

@jade stratus I may be wrong in this mindset, but usually as a tank, your job is to keep threat and delay death as long as you can if you still die after mitigation and such, its usually not your fault (unless you stood in everything) but I've had times where I was like "oh I made a mistake" and turns out the healer said "sorry I wasn't paying attention"

faint flare
#

Even at 70 between physis, hamias, terachole, kerachole, soteria etc they heal perfectly fine

jade stratus
jade stratus
faint flare
#

It's extremely similar to scholar

#

There's many parells

jade stratus
faint flare
#

The fairy is basically Kardia but you have control over kardia

jade stratus
faint flare
#

Applying Kardia is a ogcd with a 10s cooldown

jade stratus
#

I see

faint flare
#

So a smart sage will switch it off the tank to top off other people if needed before swapping back

boreal storm
#

It’s just like dancer yeah, but healing

jade stratus
#

I love dancer can’t wait to pick that one up after I level my pld

robust crow
#

the sage guide from the balance has a section that's literally "here's the scholar equivalent of this skill"

#

and it's like 20 skills long

jade stratus
#

Wow

faint flare
#

Addergall is basically Aetherflow

#

In Basically every sense, it's just automatically generated

#

1 per 20s vs 3 instantly every minute

jade stratus
#

Is sage preferred over a scholar in raids?

faint flare
#

They're equal

#

Scholar has raid buff, sage has abit more damage

jade stratus
#

The thing is for scholar I don’t think I barely ever used the speed ability much

#

In raids

faint flare
#

Expedient is very good

#

It's free mitigation

jade stratus
#

I think I’d prefer if it was another aoe heal instead would have been more helpful for me

faint flare
#

Scholar has a literal fuck ton of aoe heals

#

Way too many

robust crow
#

the movement speed bonus is actually really really good

faint flare
#

Tbh

robust crow
#

it helps deal with a lot of mechanics

old willow
#

after finishing daily roulette, which one should i spam if I want to cap out on aphorism

faint flare

Lv90 dungeons directly

boreal storm

Don’t spam roulettes

oic

robust crow
#

damn balance updated their sage guide

#

i can't find that ole google doc they used to have

#

with the 20 skills long scholar comparison

faint flare
#

I think momo has a chart comparing them in healer discussion video during media tour days iirc

robust crow
#

oh

#

i found a screencap of it that I took

#

here you go, lol

#

i don't think it was a "this is a 1-to-1 equivalent"

#

it was more of "this skill is similar to what you'd use in the same situation on scholar"

Hello. I have a question regarding the eureka elemental armor grind. Do I have to go through the weapon grind first? Like get the final eureka relic weapon piece before the elemental armor?

faint flare
#

Yes

#

You need a pagos weapon to get the elemental armour

lone notch
#

I see

#

I thought i could just go through the armor first

faint flare
#

Nope

upper cove
#

Whats the max elemental level gap in eureka between you and your party to not incur exp loss?

faint flare
#

Like 7 or 8

upper cove
#

Ah thats pretty ok. Thanks vinyl

robust crow
#

ideally you want to be as close together in levels as possible though

#

so you can be farming the same mobs

Thanks for the help. I just finished SB MSQ last night.

#

Speaking of eureka. Any tips or tricks about the grind? I’m gonna start doing it this weekend

faint flare
#

Buy the kirin osode/vermilion cloak if you're gonna be there for awhile

#

The extra stats go a long way to keep you tanky

Why is there no trait saying anything about the effect that enables use of Primal Rend - i.e. some trait to upgrade Inner Release, which Primal Rend says is the source of the Primal Rend Ready buff - on WAR?

faint flare
#

Cause it doesn't

craggy tinsel
#

Like I assume the text is added in at 90, but... why is there no trait, like EVERYTHING else, that reflects that change?

lone notch
faint flare
#

Any skill that props off another skills you already own just gets the abit added with no trait

Ok I’ll remember that

why do i fly really slow when i first summon my mount sometimes? i can fix it by slamming my camera up and down. its like the game doesnt realise im off the ground and is using my ground speed until i remind it im in the air by moving my z axis

calm sphinx
#

How does arms length work as mitigation 🤔

boreal storm
#

It slows people

oak lily
#

Slow

faint flare
#

It makes them attack slower

narrow jay
#

can't spell "less damage per unit time" without "less damage"

faint flare
#

No unless you.make it extremely obvious

covert marlin
#

does unsyncing or leaving and returning to a FATE remembers your progress before you unsync/leave?

faint flare
#

Progress is saved until you completely leave the zone

covert marlin
#

zone as in the whole area like "North Shroud"? what about switching zone and back?

faint flare
#

The whole entire zone

#

Aka the map

#

Leaving the zone deletes your contribution

covert marlin
#

Alright thanks!!

Do I have to finish the MSQ before I can get my mount to fly? I saw a level 24 sprout flying with his chocobo

boreal storm
#

In ARR you have to beat 2.0

As for the sprout

#

Maybe they are on another job

If you have something unlocked, it doesn’t just disappear if you have a lower lvl alt

Mounts FAQ

When can I get my first mount?
The quest that allows you to use mounts, bluequest''My Little Chocobo'', is unlocked by completing the level 20 main story quest msq''The Company You Keep''. The quest is located at the Grand Company base you chose, and you'll need to buy a Chocobo Issuance from your Grand Company Quartermaster. You can get the 200 required Grand Company seals by doing the main story quest that comes immediately after ''The Company You Keep''.

Are there any differences between mounts?
Some mounts allow multiple people (2/4/8) to ride at once, with all mounts having the same movement speed. A partial exception to this rule is the SDS Fenrir, a mount from the Mog Station. The SDS Fenrir acts as if you have the first mount speed boost obtained from completing specific quests in the story, making it a bit faster than other mounts, but only until completing the relevant story quests for that zone.

Can I make my mount faster?
Zones have one or two ranks of mount speed that increase the ground speed of mounts. The first rank comes from completing specific quests in the main scenario quests, with the second rank coming from Riding Maps which are bought with either Allied Seals, Centurio Seals, or Bicolor Gemstones. Mount Speed Boosts do not increase the flying speed of mounts.

bluequests are your friend

Are you chances of getting a primal's spell on a BLU greater if you do Extreme rather than Hard?

#

(unsynched)

boreal storm
#

It depends on the spell rank

cursive ridge
#

synced is 100%, unsynced only depends on spell's rank

autumn hedge
#

This one is for Titan

#

I'm not sure what the rank is

boreal storm
#

primal spells are rank 5

boreal storm
#

Meaning you could be there for a while

cursive ridge
#

you can solo titan normal synced

#

use basic instinct and the defense thingie

#

mighty guard

faint flare
#

Titan needs hard or higher to get mountain buster

#

He doesn't use it on normal

cursive ridge
#

good call, when i was doing it i just followed that table, so i didn't know about that

faint flare
#

Only ifirit uses the learnable spell in normal

#

And Garuda and shiva are the two extreme exclusive spells

#

you can still solo the (hard) version then, i remember soloing him synced
