autumn anvil
If they every do fix the messed up scaling in CT to make it less of an absolute cakewalk, they'll have to think of something else for the newbies I guess.
autumn anvil
The part that's messed up is the ilvl that everyone else scales to.
patent citrus
you probably died from 1-2 hits if you accidently got hit twice by vuln stack + raidwide
same with HW, if you are sync'd down from lv 70 or same with lv 70
faint flare
That's how all alliance raid sync works
And sync in general
Unless it has the additional ilvl sync icon you go down to the highest ilvl of that era
autumn anvil
Yet Rabanastre is a complete clown fiesta while CT just rolls over. I'm sure there's a happy medium somewhere in between.
faint flare
Cause mechanics and dumb people
patent citrus
nowadays even lv 80 AR, you can get like 5 vuln stack, and doesn't die from raidwide..

did they say anything about changing the zodiac book stage of the ARR relic for 6.1?

Drops are of equivalent item level to unaugmented tome gear and once a week give you a coin that you can exchange for an upgrade material for the tome gear
twilit arch
works like normal mode raid lockouts, you can run as many times as you want but once you win a piece of loot
you're locked out for the week
faint flare
Gear drop.from chests
twilit arch
final boss drops a token you can exchange for the weekly capped tomestone augment items

Coins are auto given at the end
viscid moth
Is it the same materials you get from books out of the current savage raid?
faint flare
Yes
twilit arch
yes
viscid moth
ah alright

just an alt method for getting them, for ppl who don't do savage
faint flare
Armour and accessories upgrades
jovial quarry
Note that alliance raid gear can’t be augmented
faint flare
Weapon upgrade comes later
viscid moth
So I guess my savage BIS doesn't change
twilit arch
correct
faint flare
Never does
twilit arch
alliance raid doesn't change BiS, ever
faint flare
Odd patches are catch up
patent citrus
yeah savage bis will never change till next tier is released
twilit arch
there are some very niche times where new gear introduced in an odd patch (i.e gear from like relic series) can change a few things
but that is very very rare
verbal rune
So if I understand right, new ex weapons will be better than normal radiant weapon, and worse than pandemonium one, right?
boreal storm
I thought it was 590
patent citrus
oh right 590, upgraded is 600?
sick light
Question, with 6.1 almost here, should I bother getting the ILV 580 crafted gear? Or will there be possibly better gear avalible?
boreal storm
Make sure you got HQ tho
verbal rune
So it is 590 for radiant weapons, then 595 ex and then 600 for savage?
verbal rune
Kk, it is my first time around patch
twilit arch
600 for aug radiant
lapis sorrel
Can I still trade blue scrips for crystal sands or is it no longer available?
twilit arch
Can I still trade blue scrips for crystal sands or is it no longer available?
can still buy the blue scrip tokens for crystal sands, yes
lapis sorrel
can still buy the blue scrip tokens for crystal sands, yes
I need a level 80 crafter for that, right?
lapis sorrel
Ah nice, so i only need a level 60 crafter. Thats way cheaper then levelling to 80

rancid gull
I don't really like the housing in this game kek
u have to sub to not lose the items you paid or gathered ingame for in a housing plot including the plot itself

Question, can someone explain me, slowly, what does enchanced arcane circle does?
Aside from the attack buff I mean
ripe hound
!action arcane circle
zinc orbitBOT
Powered by XIVAPI
ripe hound
I think enhanced is the part where it makes you able to use your big boom boom move
heavy wadi
it does what it says, each stack of immortal sacrifice you get increases the damage of plentiful harvest
!action plentiful harvest
zinc orbitBOT
Powered by XIVAPI
ripe hound
So it gives everyone around you a buff, where if they basically do anything, you get a potency increase on your next Plentiful Harvest
And you can use Plentiful Harvest once per Arcane Circle
So if everyone around you did nothing, your Harvest does 520 damage
But if all 8 person did something, your attack does 800 damage
jade quartz
You buff your party, and by attacking while under the effect of the buff, your party members pay you back with stacks of another buff that powers up Plentiful Harvest.
ripe hound
The other people only get the damage buff tho, as in, this weird thing don’t really interact with them
heavy wadi
and then PH gives you 50 shroud gauge which lets you enshroud.
ripe hound
You won’t be increasing their Crit rate or make them regain TP or anything
sick light
Oooh, yeah, it was the buff to harvest that I wasn't really understanding, thanks
ripe hound
Yeah

whats the best way to transfer a lot of gil between alts in different servers? me and a friend are aiming to buy a house in a different server but we need to transfer tens of millions between us, is there any chance of getting banned if we trade such large amounts of gil?
remote lintel
put up random materials on the mb for 10 million gil and then buy it on your alt
fervent charm
we considered that but wouldnt the tax eat into it significantly at such a high price?
jade quartz
Yes.
It’s basically trade or use fc chest
There’s no rule against transferring gil in this way so you’ll probably be fine
Probably
fervent charm
we are aiming for a large so we are transferring up to 100m gil
i heard you can possibly get banned but im not sure how true it is which is why im asking
jade quartz
I’ve never heard of anyone getting hit by GMs for an RMT false positive like that
I should think you’d be all right
remote lintel
i mean if you earned the gil yourself i dont see how you would get banned for that
jade quartz
And even if it did happen it should be appealable

If you mean the image that shows the “grade” of each plot, I can get that.

Trying to change my retainer to fisher. Bought the modern vocation thing and I clicked on my retainer and pressed reset job then assign job and I’m only getting DOW/DOM jobs (I’m level 73 fisher atm) does anyone know how to fix this? Cause I can’t find the answers anywhere ;-;
raven willow
I pressed reset but it’s not doing anything ;-;
patent citrus
also you don't need modern vocation since fisher doesn't have jobs..
obsidian patio
What does it tell you when you try to reset?

It says your retainer has attained sufficient experiences to be assigned a job, would you like to do so? Then I say yes but it doesn’t reset

Crafting issue: for the items "Syrcus Shard", "Dimension Blade Fragment", and "Throne Gem", I'm not sure where they drop from.

i think the "upgrade" between those points is your summon augments

there's no upgrade to outburst until 74 when it turns into tri-disaster

the upgrade is like 30 pot

regal pawn
20 in the case of topaz and eme

and I don't quite remember how the job progress work since I used my SCH to level it ._.

the summons are an indertect upgrade is what i mean
regal pawn
ye
vast ferry
i mean even masshing the buttons as fast as i can i almost never cast it unaugmented after i get dreadwyrm trance
regal pawn
also painflare and baha/dreadstance
that's
you should have some downtime until 86
vast ferry
short of the first cast to start combat
regal pawn
i know for a fact you have to cast it unaugmented before 86 even at slowest sps cause the other primal thingies do the fill at 86+ 🤔

All relic lines you have to repeat every step all over again. Shadowbringers one is the only one that has 2 one time steps, which don't even progress the relic itself

hm. i only ask b/c i have macros for changing into jobs/applying glamours and titles and thought that maybe ffxiv had something similar for the duty finder xD

Those are chat commands
If you actually type out the lines in chat one by one

okee okee thank you 😅
faint flare
Fflogs
obsidian patio
You can see all possible macro commands in the macro menu by clicking “text commands”
Emotes clog up a good amount of the list, but still very useful
faint flare
Fflogs gives you a colour based on parse
Grey being the lowest, orange/pink the highest
Green low average, blue average, purple high average
obsidian patio
100th percentile = gold
99th percentile = pink
95-98th percentile = orange
75-94th percentile = purple
50th-74th percentile = blue
25-50th percentile = green
sub 25th percentile = gray
For exact numbers
vast ferry
i assume parse doesn't matter for anything but savage
ripe hound
Eh, you can look at big EX number and be like happy
If numbers make you happy
But parsing EX is like significantly easier than savage
Most serious parser don’t parse Ex that much probably
vast ferry
i'd just be curious to know the extent to which i suck at the game
pretty sure i'd be grey
faint flare
Grey typically means you're not using stuff on cooldown, not weaving properly, poor rotation, poor uptime on bosses, bad uptime on Any dots, dying often etc

materia doesnt apply if the ilvl of that melded gear is higher than the activity right (level sync)? if so would it be better to make a set of gear with materia on it for each max level? so like 50 60 70 80
regal pawn
materia doesnt apply if the ilvl of that melded gear is higher than the activity...
no lol
just use a max lvl set
it'll cap stats anyways
obsidian patio
You can check which of the Stormblood EX trial musics sell decently.
remote lintel
materia below max level doesnt matter
queen gulch
then i think i misunderstood how materia works with level sync
hollow inlet
You can check which of the Stormblood EX trial musics sell decently.
Gotcha. Thanks
regal pawn
it gets completely disabled
obsidian patio
When your gear is high enough above the level sync of the duty, it’s basically melded due to both secondary stats being fully capped
regal pawn
As a dumb example with no real numbers
queen gulch
oh like that
regal pawn
if your gear has
200 det
and you meld another 32 on it
you'll have 232
but the game will just disable it and sync you to the cap value anyways
which would be 150
queen gulch
because you would already have stats that are way higher anyway?
queen gulch
oh ok
regal pawn
so higher gear with disabled materia will have 150 det
while lower with enabled materia will have 136
at least that's how i understand it
obsidian patio
Lemme grab a visual example
queen gulch
so of how much use is materia then if it cant be used that much at the level cap?
or am i missing something?
remote lintel
the only use it has is at level cap
faint flare
With raids
regal pawn
and pretty much nowhere else
faint flare
At cap
faint flare
Where you're not synced
queen gulch
i think i understand
remote lintel
the only content where you would need an extra slight advantage is at endgame content
because thats what materia is
a slight advantage
which is basically useless for lower level casual content
obsidian patio
Lets say a dungeon syncs at i279, where the higher secondary stat of a chestpiece maxes out at 99.
You can max that out on both secondary stats with a chestpiece that’s i403 or higher, where the lower secondary stat is now at 99 or higher.
vast ferry
how does syncing typically work for equipment
faint flare
There's stat caps at each level gear is synced down to if it's over those caps
vast ferry
there dungeons which have gear sync in addition to level sync but i find it hard to believe that level sync has no effect on gear
faint flare
That's additional ilvl sync
Ontop of what level sync does
Level sync syncs gear down to the highest ilvl of that era
The additional ilvl sync brings it further down and is only seen on stuff that crosses into the old level.capd cause that's where the ilvl massively jumps
Ie lv50 sync brings you down to i130, which is why Castrum and praetorium melt
But dungeons like Wanderers palace have further ilvl sync that brings you Down to i110 so it's more balanced

Relative difficulty, from easy to hard:
- Dungeon, dungeon hard mode (it is more like remix, it is not a direct difficult bump)
- normal trial (8 players)
- alliance raid (24 players), normal raid (8 players)
most players would agree that the divider between normal and difficult content is about here
- ex trial: normal trial at higher difficulty and new mechanics
- savage raid: normal raid with higher difficulty and new mechanics
- ultimate: 8 players, 3-4 bosses back to back, no save point, the most challenging contents in game. This is the only content tuned with best-in-slot (optimized gear loadout) in mind

In Summoner's case as well, the oGCDs will end up sort of tangentially being affected, because the Titan oGCDs are granted by its GCDs, the Fester oGCDs are granted by Aetherflow, and you can only use the Bahamut/Phoenix oGCDs once per Trance.

you can solo/duo/trio farm them really easily; duoing takes around 2min per run, though some have annoying mechanics that may take longer (bismarck, sophia)

Hmm... depends. It's hard/inefficient to solo the trials. You're better off finding people in PF to duo/trio/full pt farm them
naturally the more people u have, the more mechanics u can skip and speed up the trial

no but the stb exes cannot be farmed like hvw ones; i tried today to do tsukuyomi with a friend and it didnt work (meteor phase). party finder the best way
