questions-and-help

[modest igloo]

its decent in aoe

gets worse at 82 but still is a small gain on 3+ targets

[nova umbra]

what does TPS stand for?

[modest igloo]

ticks per second

flamethrower isnt a normal dot

most tick once every 3s

FT does it every second

[autumn hedge]

How do you get the lean emote?

[nova umbra]

so it's safe to refresh a dot when there's < 3 seconds remaining, or will that result in a loss of a tick?

[solemn jewel]

either with skybuilders scrips or from the marketboard

[autumn hedge]

Thanks!

[modest igloo]

most of the time yes

sometimes the server says "no fuck u" but thats kinda out of your control and a pretty minor loss

[normal sand]

:(?

[solemn jewel]

check ur journal, if u have a leve u never finished in there

[normal sand]

I gotta do them?

cringe

[solemn jewel]

or abandon them

[vast hinge]

depends on the job

[normal sand]

It doesn't let me abandon

[vast hinge]

some jobs naturally refresh their dot if you just do their rotation

and clip into said dot refresh

[solemn jewel]

then do the leve

[vast hinge]

e.g. DRG

with jobs that have a choice, such as SAM

you want to hit a GCD, and you want to then see 3s on your higabana timer

if you refresh then it will basically re-apply near perfectly

[pulsar escarp]

Regardless they’re roughly right about 3s ish refresh

When you enter the realm of 3s that’s only one more gcd at most before you have to refresh anyway

[vast hinge]

yeah but 0 is better than 1

[rough vault]

Is ishgard restoration still a thing even doe its done?

[leaden ginkgo]

is the WoL trial bugged when its unsynched?
we tried it yesterday as 6 cause someone still needed him for story and we always died at the start of P2 cause my Tank3 Limitbreak didnt protect us, it was very weird, and yeah i 'think' i know the timing after doing it a couple of times synched already

[modest igloo]

yep

[vast hinge]

I might be dumb here, can you even LB3 with 6?

[gritty oracle]

What's the min ilvl where both substats cap when synced to 375?

[pulsar escarp]

Was pretty sure LB3 is only available as a full party

[gritty oracle]

Nope, need a full party.

[pulsar escarp]

so yeah an LB2 won’t be saving you

[gritty oracle]

Even if you have a full party but there's an offline, you lose the third bar

[vast hinge]

yeah so uh... that's probably why I don't know

[leaden ginkgo]

could swear we had 3 bars, maybe im halucinating

[pulsar escarp]

You were probably hallucinating

[gritty oracle]

does anyone know a gear item that's i375?

[rough vault]

why everybody talk about alexander? 🤔
Its just HW stuff, right?

[gritty oracle]

Also a level 80 ultimate fight.

[pulsar escarp]

Is the ryumaku stuff 375? I’m thinking off the top of my head

[umbral dune]

would unsync even generate the bar though?

[modest igloo]

ghimlet dark gear

[pulsar escarp]

It also has a part in regards to story

[gritty oracle]

oh ty!

[solemn jewel]

Depends on the context. Alex is very important in lore, its got an ultimate and its used for light farm

[rough vault]

Light farm?

[pulsar escarp]

I’m fairly sure the trial makes sure of it via a mechanic that fills LB

[solemn jewel]

for i think hw relic

[pulsar escarp]

Yep

People commonly speedrun A9S unsynced

[rough vault]

Whats the point of relics if u got the other expansions doe

[solemn jewel]

glam

[pulsar escarp]

Cosmetics

[gritty oracle]

Does this mean that a gear piece is good for UWU if the lower substat is over 82?

[pulsar escarp]

It’s a good burn, HW relic specifically for tomes you aren’t necessarily using

[lone notch]

Hi is it possible to farm atma crystals using an atma weapon?

[modest igloo]

its alright but worse than any 530+ gear

[gritty oracle]

You can only get atma crystals if you complete a fate with bronze or higher (I think?) with your relic equipped.

[modest igloo]

no, zenith only

[rough vault]

I might need the tomes for ilevel 270 dungeons of post HW doe

[lone notch]

But they can stack right?

[pulsar escarp]

Then hold off on it

It’s easier to run unsynced at a high level anyway

[gritty oracle]

Doing relics is recommended after you way outlevel the content, to make farming various content easier.

[pulsar escarp]

You’d only go to the amount of trouble doing it at current level when it was relevant - or if you’re a very desperate free trial player

[lone notch]

Can u get more than one atma crystal?

[umbral dune]

took me a week to get PLD anima as free trial with like 10-12h each day

[gritty oracle]

In a single fate, no, but I think you can get multiple after multiple fates. The game doesn't track your crystals by your quest.

[jovial quarry]

You need one of each of the twelve types but you can get as many as you want while the quest is active.

[rough vault]

The most farming i did is lvl 50 tome gear for healer

Anything i can do with 500k gils?

[solemn jewel]

save more gil

[rough vault]

[umbral dune]

you would need like several million

[solemn jewel]

500k is very little in the grand scheme of things, its an apartment

[rough vault]

Already have one

[solemn jewel]

then save gil

[rough vault]

That im barely using

[lone notch]

I mean like u can get more than one atma of the crab, atma of the scorpion, etc?

[umbral dune]

there is 2 mounts that cost like 25m and 50m, you could aim for that if housing is not a thing

[rough vault]

What are they

[tiny lintel]

when should i be doing all the blue quests i missed?

[jovial quarry]

Yeah as long as you have the quest for it, you can get as many as you want. Just note that they'll only ever drop one at a time.

[rough vault]

As soon as possible

[azure finch]

I'll looking for ideas for a smart looking outfit for a friend's EB, does anyone have suggestions?

[solemn jewel]

you can also save gil for glamours, thats like, millions

[tiny lintel]

ah alright, thank you

[solemn jewel]

get the bridesmaid or best man suits

[rough vault]

Drip is tgat pricey?

[solemn jewel]

ye

again 500k is nothing lmao

theres minions that are worth more

[rough vault]

The most drip i got so far is that one sailor bikini and the spriggan outfit

Really couldnt pass on the spriggan

[lone notch]

Ok thank u

[pearl mesa]

I am now in possession of three (3) Moonward Bracelets of Healing, thanks to my retainers. I have better healing gear for myself, my WHM retainer is wearing one, is there anything I can do with the remaining two other than hold onto them until 6.2 drops and I can desynth or turn in for GC seals?

[modest igloo]

nope

god i wish there was but alas

[pearl mesa]

Woo. Thanks.

[sudden dock]

do these intermittent patches like 6.11 have their own set of patch notes or not really since they only add in the ultimate

[obsidian patio]

Yes

[modest igloo]

they will have their own notes

[obsidian patio]

patch updates always get patch notes

Though only major patches typically get preliminary notes

[fierce karma]

do you get bonus exp for completing a dungeon for the first time per class or is that only guildhests?

[narrow jay]

First time per character iirc

i.e. as part of the MSQ

so that doesn't include any x0 dungeons

[fierce karma]

thanks

[slender sphinx]

Sometimes when I play, animations and sound will stop for me. There are no signs of lag as i'm able to play normally just without ability visuals and sound. Then the animations that didn't play will suddenly all play out like 10 seconds later like letting go of a rubberband

Any ideas as to what causes this?

It is more prevalent if i'm recording with obs

[bitter plaza]

I used to have this happen to me in Eureka on my old laptop

I think it's just that your device gets overloaded and needs time to get caught up

[cloud pendant]

what is the first quest for heavensward? And is it available on the trial version?

[solemn jewel]

It is available but i dont know the name rn

free trial goes to the last quest of heavensward

[bitter plaza]

first quest for Heavensward is called "Coming to Ishgard"

[slender sphinx]

My PC specs are more than enough for running the game though and this didn't happen in the past

[cloud pendant]

okay

[bitter plaza]

my old laptop also met the PC specs

but especially since you mention it happening when you are recording

[solemn jewel]

there might be a bottleneck when it mostly happens when u have obs on

[oak lily]

you get everything up to the very end of HW on trial

[cloud pendant]

nice

I'm in the void between ARR and HW and it's really boring

[oak lily]

its important

[cloud pendant]

oh ok

[modest igloo]

the calm before the storm

[oak lily]

plus, patches 2.1-2.55 went on for like 2 years

[narrow jay]

What you're going through now was spread out over two years, and was the writers rescuing a decent but paper-thin plot into something worth watching.

And has actually been trimmed down slightly from its prior version lol

[onyx kiln]

what fence is this house using?

[cloud pendant]

wow...

[hot eagle]

the item should be garden gate came out with 6.1

https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/playguide/db/item/2961115993f/?patch=

[bitter plaza]

the game was also thin on content during 2.X so the devs were just basically throwing everything at the wall they could to give players stuff to do

the whole 2.0-2.X section could use another pass tbh but they're trying to combine it with other changes as much as possible

like the 2.0 dungeons all getting an overhaul in 6.1 to coincide with the addition of NPC party members to all of them

[cloud pendant]

is there going to be a sale for the game anytime soon?

[modest igloo]

we dont know

[cloud pendant]

ah okay

well

[modest igloo]

se is pretty inconsistant about sales

[cloud pendant]

I've been waiting for 4 months to buy it and people have been telling me to wait for a sale

[bitter plaza]

honestly feels like we're long overdue for another sale

[modest igloo]

there hasnt been one since before EW

[bitter plaza]

they have probably been holding back because we got so many new players during Endwalker

you couldn't even buy the game at all for a few weeks

[hot eagle]

dont think we get a sale before endwalker is out for like a year

[cloud pendant]

yeah I know I was there it was really annoying but then I just decided to wait it out for a sale

[warped nest]

RDM PvP question

How is their cross shaped LB oriented

Is it oriented by you and your target?

[warm snow]

Idk, but there's dummys in the wolfs den you can probably test on

[regal pawn]

it's you

i'm pretty sure

[sturdy brook]

Do apartments in residential districts get auto-demolished like housing, or are they forever?

[modest igloo]

forever

[quartz vale]

Question: In regards to tales of adventure; If I do not have a class unlocked (ie: Samurai) and I buy the Tales of Adventure III: Samurai, will this unlock the Samurai job for me or will I still have to progress to unlock the job before being able to use the item?

[modest igloo]

it will unlock it

[warm snow]

@quartz vale you can ng+ the job quests, would highly recommend, especially from 50-60

[wet cradle]

what permission does a rank need to have so people will be able to use pots in our FC house?

[warm snow]

Pretty sure there's a specific permission for gardening

[wet cradle]

when I hear garden I think of the outside beds

[warm snow]

It's still gardening

[scarlet hinge]

When doing doing potd if u die do u need to completely restart?

[warm snow]

Only if you want to go past floor 100

[scarlet hinge]

so if u die on floor 151 then u need to start at 100 again?

[warm snow]

Nope

[scarlet hinge]

or 1

[warm snow]

If you're going for necromancer it's 1

If you want to clear with a group you can start at 50

A friend tried for necromancer and got the clear, but started at 50

Big Fs in chat that day

[scarlet hinge]

So if u started at 1 and died at 164 then u will have to start at 1 again is what u are saying

[warm snow]

Depends on your objective

Clear potd? Or necromancer title

[scarlet hinge]

for necromancer

[warm snow]

Then yeah back to 1

[scarlet hinge]

damn

[modest igloo]

and now you know why its so rare

[scarlet hinge]

Like the firecrest items are there something similar for hoh

[warm snow]

You get a token for accessories, as for what they do, check your items achievements

[scarlet hinge]

seems like there is nothing for hoh sadge

[warm snow]

[fierce karma]

could someone link the image showing which expansions are in which purchases?

[solemn jewel]

check the pinned posts

[raw granite]

How do you know when a GATE is going to spawn ? Is there a timer somewhere ?

[bitter plaza]

happens every 20 minutes on the clock

[raw granite]

Thanks !

[onyx kiln]

do all the three tier bosses in the Alexander Savage (A4S, A8S and A12S) raids have dps checks that will wipe you if you dont kill the boss in time?

[warm snow]

That's literally every savage boss

[onyx kiln]

okay

[warm snow]

And extremes

And ofc ultimates

Arr-hw extremes mostly have soft enrage where they get gradual dmg ups or some equivalent

Sb onwards all just nuke the party if enough time passes

[onyx kiln]

was thinking of playing through some of the older contents unsynced just to grind for gear but couldn't do A4S solo due to wiping near the end

[warm snow]

You can't solo a4s

You just can't

[onyx kiln]

learned that yesterday

[solemn jewel]

There are a4s solo videos

[onyx kiln]

prolly gonna do that as a PF thing

[warm snow]

Still realistically can't do it. It's reliant on getting a crit and killing two legs within about 10s of each other

Otherwise mechanics kill you

[solemn jewel]

Oh ye it's very specific setups but it's doable

[warm snow]

It's also rng reliant

[solemn jewel]

My point is rather it is possible but not feasible for most

[warm snow]

Semantics

Not possible for anyone just trying to braindead it here

[vital ruin]

how is drg in EW compared to ShB? I've been hearing it's far better

[upper cove]

The only way to get pagos crystals are from NMs right?

[night lotus]

Hey, I have a question regarding the impact of level synchronization (especially in dungeons) on offensive and defensive stats. Let's say I'm level 60 with the level 50 forge stuff. I'm doing a dungeon that syncs me to level 50: do I have better stats than a level 50 with his 50 forge stuff?

[upper cove]

While frosted protean crystals are kettle. And louhi is well... louhi

Also exchanged with pagos crystals

Because I'm in severe lack of pagos crystals

Compared to anemos progression

[obsidian patio]

Jumps are faster, you no longer lose eyes due to downtime as BOTD is now a trait, and Life surge/Spineshatter Dive got some QoL with a second Charge

[obsidian patio]

Only from NMs

[obsidian patio]

No

[upper cove]

Thanks wynne

[obsidian patio]

Level and item level syncs use the best possible stat values possible at that level or specified item level to determine the sync

So as an example, level 60 gear and above is just as good or even very slightly better than level 50 gear at the cap for that duty due to having both secondary stats maxed out.

To use a faq as a visual example

!faq ultimatesync

[zinc orbit]

**Syncing Gear for Ultimates**

Sufficiently high item-level gear can cap both substats when synced down. Similarly, item-level 515 and 535 relics can have substats allocated so that fewer substats are lost to the sync (see !faq ilvlsync for more info on how gear syncing works).

See the calculator below:
https://bit.ly/XIVGearSyncCalc
Tanks can instead use their standard gear calculator, which supports syncing to both 70 and 80:
https://bit.ly/XIV-TANKDPSCALC-EW

[night lotus]

Ok thanks! I was feeling frustrated because my job is lvl 63 and I just gained access to my lvl 60 gear set while doing lvl 52 quests. I gain too much experience 🥲

[obsidian patio]

UCOB’s normal ilvl sync is 345, but with gear at and above 470, you get gear that’s generally just as good as melded 340/345 gear

[modest igloo]

red mage and samurei start at lvl 50 if you wanna use 2 jobs to be less overleveled

[night lotus]

Yes I’ll try the second one, looks fun to play

[dry bobcat]

Can i unsync hw extremes at 78

[modest igloo]

nope

maaybe ravana?

[autumn anvil]

It'll be a lot easier at 80 for sure, but you could probably do Ravana, yeah.

[dry bobcat]

:(

[dry bobcat]

Thanks

[autumn anvil]

Bismarck as well. Singularity Reactor definite no.

[night lotus]

I have another unrelated question. as a tank, do i have to generate agro on boss summons or do i let the dps kill them quickly without caring?

[twilit abyss]

is there an easy way to check in game tax for each market?

[modest igloo]

really depends on the boss itself, but most of the time you'll want aggro from them

[umbral dune]

usually people will lure the ads to the tank (esp the healer), but you should watch out for some mechanic

[night lotus]

Oki

[autumn anvil]

Yup, a lot more can go wrong if you don't tank something that should be, compared to tanking something that should be burned down.

Of course in trials that's what off-tanks are for. 🙂

[twilit abyss]

Rare case scenario: If the enmity icon for the mob is Red but it still attacks other players, don't bother trying to chase it.

[autumn anvil]

You can ask a retainer vocate about it, iirc.

[twilit abyss]

What tends to happen if you keep chasing it is you might end up moving and spinning the bigger boss around.

[vital ruin]

ooo nice :D
Is the Stardiver animation faster? @obsidian patio

also 6.2 will tweak DRG a bit right?

[obsidian patio]

All the jumps got faster in 6.1 I think

[umbral dune]

they dont mention stardiver

[obsidian patio]

And yeah AST/DRG are slated for bigger adjustments in 6.2

[gritty oracle]

Is it worth to set a gearset aside for uwu? Since being synced really messes with my sps and SCH likes specific tiers. Or does it not matter enough?

[modest igloo]

if you have the 515 relic im pretty sure you can hit a similar sps with it

and just use BiS

[gritty oracle]

My current i490 gear has 2.50 when synced down

a mix of radiant, augmented classical and a single alliance raid piece

[modest igloo]

ah so you only have melds

ye just grab some shb gear with sps on it and work on the shb relic

!faq ultisync

[zinc orbit]

**Syncing Gear for Ultimates**

Sufficiently high item-level gear can cap both substats when synced down. Similarly, item-level 515 and 535 relics can have substats allocated so that fewer substats are lost to the sync (see !faq ilvlsync for more info on how gear syncing works).

https://bit.ly/XIV-TANKDPSCALC-EW

[gritty oracle]

I have the 535 relic but yeah I'll try to assemble something that'll get me to 2.41

[last mural]

What Elemental level for Eureka should I be expecting before i can unlock ||Hydatos||?

[modest igloo]

50

[last mural]

ah....... damn...

[elfin plover]

Do i need to have the armor in my inventory or armoury chest to be able to cast glamour?

[last mural]

why do so many TT cards have to be locked behind Eureka...

[elfin plover]

Im running out of space to store all these armour and weapons

[faint flare]

Glamour dresser to store glam stuff

And use it for plates

[elfin plover]

Um, you need glamour prisms to store glam stuff?

[faint flare]

1 per item

But then it's free to use then

It's cheaper to use the dresser

[elfin plover]

Darn, if only i knew this

I already used like 40 of these prims and now i ran out of em

[faint flare]

They're piss easy to get

200 seals at the grand company once you rank up abit

[elfin plover]

Hmm, guess ill need to do fates while levelling and doing the MSQ

[faint flare]

Just do your company hunting log, it's mandatory to rank up anyway

[elfin plover]

Company hunting log? when do i get one?

[faint flare]

The moment you joined the grand company

[elfin plover]

Oh cool thanks!

[sand bluff]

i recognise this is late but if you go to the retainer vocate there is a market tax option

[leaden ginkgo]

I’m thinking of doing hades’ elegy. How hard is it exactly?

[modest igloo]

you'll still have to do p2 and p3 mechs, or at least the first few

universal manipulation can be pretty rough until people learn where thier spot it

p1 and p4 are pretty easy tho

[twilit abyss]

Can you desynth/gc trade in relic weapons? Specifically end of the line Bozja ones.

[modest igloo]

no

[vast ferry]

if you leave a dungeon before people finishing rolling on the boss chest do you not get the rewards you rolled for

[umbral dune]

Yes

[modest igloo]

correct, you dont get them

[faint flare]

You forfeit your roll

[steep egret]

you forefeit the rewards

[faint flare]

Can't receive items if you're not there

[warped nest]

It's like leaving McDonald's

Before your food is readied

[leaden ginkgo]

Oh ok. You know the drop chance of hades auracite?

[faint flare]

No

[vast ferry]

why mcdonalds specfically

[faint flare]

Drop rates for anything are impossible to know

[leaden ginkgo]

Ok

[modest igloo]

we dont know but its pretty low

[leaden ginkgo]

Damn guess I’ll have to find another gil farm

[vast ferry]

technically you could just find a datamining discord and they'd prob know

[warped nest]

McDonald's seems like the place that won't give a shit if you walked out without getting your food

[faint flare]

You can't datamine drop rates

Drop rates are server side

[warped nest]

It is determined on their end

[faint flare]

You have to physically hack the server to find that out

And extremely promptly get banhammered

[vast ferry]

and sued

[warped nest]

Any form of calculation are done on their end

(I'd assume)

[leaden ginkgo]

Third question: is the bozja cluster thing still a good gil farm?

[modest igloo]

not really

[jade quartz]

It’s not terrible but like eh

[vast ferry]

awhile back i did a normal raid roulette and it looked like it only gave me 18k xp am i wrong on that

i was like level 62 then

that seems way off

[modest igloo]

thats about normal

at least for me

[vast ferry]

so useless for xp got it

[leaden ginkgo]

Oh. So then what’s the new best gil farm?

[vast ferry]

i'll skip it from now on

[modest igloo]

thats the fun part, you'll have to find it out yourself

[leaden ginkgo]

💀

[jade quartz]

For casual gil making, maps are fine as always

Only drg received animation changes didn’t it?

Anyway it’s noticeable

Doesn’t change rotation

Just QoL

You could always double weave jumps with good enough ping (or using noclippy)

So this just makes it a bit easier

Ah yeah none of them really change the rotation

It’s QoL

You don’t uh

Do that

Why would you want to backstep while doing melee combo

???????

!action engagement

[zinc orbit]

**Engagement** : lvl 40 RDM (35.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Delivers an attack with a potency of 180 .
Maximum Charges: 2
Shares a recast timer with Displacement.

Powered by XIVAPI

[faint flare]

Use engagement lol

Literally 0 reason to use displacement

When engagement exists

[jade quartz]

Corps-a-corps has always been weavable during melee

[modest igloo]

not in melee combo

[jade quartz]

You can’t double weave ANYTHING during melee

What?

[modest igloo]

always was

not sure why you'd do it tho

[jade quartz]

[faint flare]

You can only double weave gap closers if you're close and have good ping

Otherwise the distance travelled stops you double weaving

[jade quartz]

Displacement is never used unless the backstep is actually needed to dodge mechanic.

Engagement is used instead.

Corps-a-corps has always been double-weavable alongside a non-displacement skill during normal play

[modest igloo]

those were improved in 5.1

in 2019

[jade quartz]

As I’ve told you it’s all QoL

[warm snow]

Or to style on the boss

Yes that was a recent change

Not on stardiver tho

Ah, thanks

[vale inlet]

I use to play some 2s in wow. I just learned that ff has some pvp too. But I’m new to pvp , is it beginner friendly? Or do you need to have a good solid foundation of all jobs lol

[warm snow]

Pve skill does not equate to pvp skill

AT ALL

[jade quartz]

pvp kits are totally separated

easy for beginner to start

the new pvp is brand-new anyway

[warm snow]

All stats are normalised, kits completely different and you only have like 8 buttons

[vale inlet]

Ok sweet that’s good to hear

[warm snow]

So you'll need a good foundation of the new kit

[vale inlet]

I’ll give it a try this weekend

[warm snow]

But like no one has that yet

[naive sigil]

I've a sound effect when i launch a spell in cooldown, can i desactivate them ?

[warm snow]

??

What do you mean?

Like a sound effect when a skill acticates

[boreal storm]

All skills have sound effects

[warm snow]

Or you have a plugin tracking cooldowns?

[heavy wadi]

guessing it's the "spell is not ready yet" sound

[umbral dune]

but i dont think those 2 massages play a sound when they appear

[jade quartz]

they do

turning them both off will fix.

[umbral dune]

hmm, guess i have already done that

[calm sphinx]

Is there BiS for every Ultimate 🤔

[naive sigil]

When i launch a spell but the spell is on cooldown again, so that's not launch you know there's a sound

[green grail]

yes, because they have different ilvl syncs

like bis for the new one will be 605 when more of that gear gets added in a 6.4 dungeon or something

[raven burrow]

sam still the hardest hitting dps ? or is it monk now

[boreal storm]

!faq metameme

Is it possible to dress up like the main character from Endwalker trailer?

[jade quartz]

yes, level 89/90 paladin job gear

[elfin plover]

Thanks!

[maiden basin]

Does anybody have tips for the fight in the Worthy of His Back quest? The part with the orbs doesn't feel balanced for a solo instance at all. >.<

[jade quartz]

take the orbs down fast

it's balanced fine

if you're having too much trouble you can lower the instance difficulty

[maiden basin]

I know that I can reduce the difficulty, but I'm trying my best to power through normal.

Was having a bit of trouble getting through the orbs with Red Mage's kit, the casting combo gets rid of the red orbs fine but takes some time on blue.

[calm sphinx]

is the reason why drk deals so much damage bc of darkside and since u keep it as always u just wait for ur cooldowns to comeback and burst🤔

[faint flare]

You have a Ton of off global damage that syncs nicely with raid buffs

Your 2min burst is a ton of potency

[dapper oyster]

how to check the pvp season, rank thing?

[green grail]

character > pvp profile

crystal conflict ranked matches/stars are in the crystal conflict tab, and series exp comes from all pvp so it's the blue bar at the top

[dapper oyster]

thank you

[hollow junco]

Is the classical gear good enough to start doing some savages?

[green grail]

should be, depends on what ilvl people lock party finders to nowadays

[dapper oyster]

we managed to clear p1s and p2s so yes

[green grail]

stat-wise it's fine, but upgrading it to 590 doesn't take that much effort so you should probably do that too

[hollow junco]

Alright, thanks!

[crisp pelican]

Yeah getting augumented won't hurt but considering people did it when it came out just fine you will be good just make sure to meld stuff aswell and get food

[modest igloo]

people cleared the tier in them when it came out, but yeah more gear the more wiggle room you have

[warm snow]

Also pf groups will generally expect 590 average or higher this late in the tier

[sterile stone]

I thought things like are banned?

[boreal storm]

They are, so go ahead and report

[umbral dune]

just report them

[visual sandal]

do ranged jobs just bring out char voices more

and can I somehow turn down the frequency

[sterile stone]

report them last week and it's still up there, that's why I was wondering

[jade quartz]

New account

Report again

[gloomy imp]

So i'm trying out polyglot on my BLM on a dummy and well i've waited for over 30 seconds while in umbral ice and i got no polyglot. why?

lvl 82

[umbral dune]

have you done lvl 70 job quest?

[gloomy imp]

ah

so i need to get to stormblood

and yeah i'm lvl 82 and still in heavensward lol

[umbral dune]

holy

[faint flare]

You've been doing way too many roulettes

[gloomy imp]

i really have

i;m addicted

[faint flare]

Your level is meaningless without story completion

[gloomy imp]

believe me i know

i just find it really fun

so why not

[visual sandal]

stuff up to 70 is usually behind job quests

after that, auto-get

[gloomy imp]

but to be fair it lets me solo some things on unsynced, that's about the only pro i've had

[gloomy imp]

i see i see

[visual sandal]

Though for Sage/Reaper iirc it's at 80, at they start at 70

[robust crow]

pick up other jobs

don't just dump all your roulette exp into 1 job

you're going to run into the issue one of my friends had

[warm snow]

It'll be 90 and 80 next expac, since I don't see them stopping job quests on new jobs

[robust crow]

they were level 80 (max level in ShB) before finishing HW on their main

so they didn't get to play the rest of the game on their main

[visual sandal]

and please learn to play every job you level at a mediocre level

[robust crow]

they ended up maining a different job by the time they finally finished MSQ

[visual sandal]

SO NINJAS
CAN STOP USING DOTON ON SINGLE TARGET

[patent frigate]

Do I lose anything if I change my Grand Company?

[jade quartz]

You just have to rank up again in the new gc

Which isn’t too hard

You won’t be able to access e.g. your squadron until you’ve ranked up enough again

[patent frigate]

Tyty

[jade quartz]

Btw your rank and seals in the old gc are saved in case you ever change back

[green grail]

does squadron transfer? i thought you have a different one in each gc

[jade quartz]

It does transfer

But you do have to rank up again by doing the two priority missions

But your guys will all be there, same classes and levels and stuff

[celest quartz]

Which job has the highest consistent amount of single oGCD weaving?

[warm snow]

Nin last I checked

[jade quartz]

Uhh so the most weaves without double weaving?

[shrewd cradle]

🤔 🤔 🤔 🤔

[faint flare]

Collectiblity > 1

[jade quartz]

I guess NIN or MNK with their fast gcds, or like

A healer

[warm snow]

Collectability has min thresholds

[faint flare]

It doesn't meet the requirements

[warm snow]

And you meet none of em

[jade quartz]

Healers can mostly only single weave

[shrewd cradle]

darn

[warm snow]

Hell those thresholds are show during the craft

[umbral dune]

what about MCH?

[jade quartz]

It’s a weird question to answer because for the most part of you have a lot of weaves it’s going to be preferable to double weave them

[warm snow]

Its high apm isn't ogcds

[jade quartz]

MCH…are you asking this question because you have high ping making it hard to double weave?

Because if so MCH isn’t good

[warm snow]

Different person asked about high weaving jobs

I just said nin cuz it's one of the highest apms that's not mch

[jade quartz]

It has a high speed gcd phase where single weaving is both required and tight and is impossible if ping too high

[warm snow]

Then again ninjutsu isn't ogcds so eh

[jade quartz]

NIN has mudras which aren’t exactly weaving because it’s kind of a fast gcd

[warm snow]

Otherwise I guess maybe mnk

Then again that's also cuz low gcd

Ehhh

[jade quartz]

But might feel like what this person is asking about when they say double weaving

[jade quartz]

Basically this question feels kinda impossible to answer

[warm snow]

I mean mnk is all single weaves

Out of necessity

[jade quartz]

Unless you just say “any healer”

[warm snow]

I'd probably say ast to be specific there

[jade quartz]

Yeah

Although actually

Light speed

AST has a double weaving phase

Managing that with only single weaves is kinda impossible

[warm snow]

True but even ignoring that, has so much weaving

[quiet acorn]

So I'm trying to renew my sub , it expired in January. Suddenly the site is completely new, but everytime I try to update my subscription it keeps trying to do a test transaction

[boreal storm]

Did you wait for it to go through? Because they’re making sure the bank/card info is legit

[quiet acorn]

The test transaction shows up on my bank account

[sand steppe]

How does Aetherial Mimicry work, do some enemies have stances to take, or can you keep one from before you entered a duty?

[faint flare]

You target players

It's retained until you swap jobs or use it again

[sand steppe]

Ah okay, so that's how full BLU parties have stances

[verbal rune]

speaking of blu

anyone has the link to the blu discord?

I kinda want to go for the blue titles/achievments

[umbral dune]

https://discord.gg/eeF5mdk

[main yarrow]

Whens the new Ultimate drop? Tomorrow?

[heavy wadi]

yes.

[verbal rune]

thanks

[celest quartz]

I was asking because I feel like no weaving is too slow for me and double weaving is too fast for my tastes

To give an example with tanks, Warrior feels slow since it didn't weave much outside of mitigation, and Gunbreaker weaves like crazy lol

[remote lintel]

then play monk

[verbal rune]

also If I understand it right, for the blue achievment you need to do all last tier fights with minilvl/synched?

[faint flare]

Synced, no echo

[fleet steppe]

Yeah I don't think min IL is a requirement.

[boreal storm]

Go to the barracks

[floral panther]

Random question, Where can Y’shtola be found after finishing the 6.1 MSQs?

[verbal rune]

btw is war the one with the most simple rotation?

[outer mural]

most people will argue WAR has the simplest rotation between tanks and all classes yeah

[leaden ginkgo]

Question, if you have an Ishgard house will it be safe from auto-demolition as well? Since demolition is still disabled.

[boreal storm]

All houses are

[leaden ginkgo]

Alright, thanks.

[verbal rune]

oh, yeah, I meant among tanks

for war

but thanks

[oblique skiff]

it's not even an argument

[quiet acorn]

Update I'm a dumbass, don't use your phone on their site. Didn't see the full page

[fleet steppe]

All classes? Well healers have the easiest dps rotation but then you have your heal rotation as well which is fight specific... so really a matter of what we are talking about in a "rotation"

Most cursed shit I've even seen is a warrior using vengeance on CD in 2m burst to buff like 220 potency

[regal pawn]

yes

[fleet steppe]

WAR needs more buttons right? why dont they split vengeance and the 30% mit /j

[proud barn]

Anyone want to mentor a new player

[little swift]

Just ask your questions here

[proud barn]

Im talking bout the system for mwntors in tbe game

[faint flare]

Ask in game for an invite to novice network for the novice chat

[fleet steppe]

Ah yes well mentors you see, are more like experienced players. They wouldn't know everything and aren't required to, even the basics.

[proud barn]

I juat want the fast xp i guess

[atomic jewel]

Where do I buy maps?

[warm snow]

That's not how this works

[fleet steppe]

Oh you'll be fine for exp

[warm snow]

Marketboard

[faint flare]

The xp buff isn't that useful

[atomic jewel]

Tysm

[fleet steppe]

you get more than enough by doing the MSQ

[fleet steppe]

also if you want a good exp buff, look for a prefered world on the server status page on the lodestone, those worlds give a "road to 80" buff that doubles your exp earned until one of your classes hits 80, its much more than a mentor buff gives

[upper cove]

Are we expecting savage restrictions lifted 6.1 or later? Was told by a fc mate it lifts tmr

[boreal storm]

Like 6.18

[upper cove]

Yea that's what I was told here awhile ago

Just wanted to confirm cause I didn't see any news about it

[twilit arch]

this is assuming they follow shb

which probably will

[upper cove]

Understood

[boreal storm]

6.18 is months away, and they don’t really mention stuff like that so far in advance

[upper cove]

Yea I figured. Just wanted to confirm since someone I trust mentioned

[viscid moth]

Can I xp boost a level 1 friend somehow? (his alt)

[boreal storm]

Yeah but not really a point, they can easily hit lvl 15 on their own

[proud barn]

Server is too full

[gritty oracle]

Will travelers be able to join CWLSs of their visited DC?

[remote lintel]

yes

[flat yew]

do you get astronomy tomestones from hunts?

[twilit arch]

yes

[twilit abyss]

whoops, sorry wrong channel

[flat yew]

those hunt marks posted on the hunt board or just from wild b/a/s tiers?

[boreal storm]

Elites are b ranks
Everything else is just a mob

[flat yew]

just checked, looks like elites still only reward gil and nuts?

[twilit arch]

a/s ranks are the ones that reward tomestones

[flat yew]

ahh, okay

might as well just run a current raid then, because I am only lacking 5 tomestones

[boreal storm]

Just do CC

[flat yew]

CC?

[boreal storm]

Crystal conflict

[flat yew]

I have no idea what that is haha

[boreal storm]

The new PvP mode they just added

[flat yew]

ohhh

[jovial quarry]

PvP. It’s a short five minute game type.

Pretty easy to get in to

[flat yew]

heh, all my actions in the pvp area are gone

[boreal storm]

PvP profile add the new ones

[jovial quarry]

They’ve reworked all of the PvP actions yeah

[flat yew]

where do I find the pvp profile?

[umbral dune]

character menu > pvp profile

[boreal storm]

The button should also still be on the hotbar

[umbral dune]

but i reckon it already on your hotbar (the number 1)

[proud barn]

Whats the bestgear for a pug?

[boreal storm]

The gear you have on you?
Oh they mean pugilist

[faint flare]

Gear with strength on it

Everything else is useless

[proud barn]

Ok thanks

[iron yarrow]

anyone know which roulettes give more xp than current level dungeon? leveling, msq, what about 50/60/70/80 dungeon roulette?

[robust crow]

i wouldn't look at it as "more exp"

it's better to look at it as "time efficiency"

[iron yarrow]

good point

[robust crow]

leveling, trials, ally raid, MSQ are very time efficient

as is frontlines

[iron yarrow]

maybe it's relevant that im leveling healer

dungeon queues instapop

[robust crow]

it's pretty much always going to be better to do the roulette first

for the daily bonus

before spamming dungeons

[compact gull]

What expansion would I need if I would need to get gunblade

[faint flare]

Endwalker

Cause you can't buy the other expansions on their own

[robust crow]

you need to own endwalker and then have a level 60 job

[faint flare]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/287679207432257538/936004894412910612/Untitled.png

From pins

[compact gull]

So get endwalker and I get everything

[faint flare]

If you own starter then yes

[compact gull]

Thank God it was available last year when I got a ps4

Also what is the most easiest class

[boreal storm]

Subjective

[calm sphinx]

Define easy

[boreal storm]

There’s simple jobs, but if you don’t know what you’re doing…gonna have a hard time

[compact gull]

0 brain cells

[faint flare]

Smn and dnc are considered the easiest jobs

Just press glowy button and use shit on cooldown

[compact gull]

Ahh ok

[iron yarrow]

if you want healer, white mage is probably the easiest

[boreal storm]

War go unga bunga, and press big number buttons

[iron yarrow]

for what it's worth, even if dancer is considered easy, it's a super busy job once you hit level 80-90 ish. so fun

[compact gull]

Whats the hardest class that makes the brain give up on life

[boreal storm]

Still subjective

[faint flare]

Heavily subjective more so

Based on what you consider hard

[compact gull]

Press buttons that have more meaning than the other

Wait that actually sounds like all the classes

[boreal storm]

Yeah…that is

[faint flare]

Every job has stuff to juggle and upkeep

[compact gull]

Umm classes that need more effort to operate

[boreal storm]

That’s all of them?

[faint flare]

None really, just do your combos and keep up any dots

Using shit on cooldown

[compact gull]

Dose any class make the game feel harder or nah?

[faint flare]

No

[compact gull]

Hm

[boreal storm]

Unless you’re bad at that job specifically, and that doesn’t matter because there’s 18 others to try

[ember goblet]

Blm tbh

Depending on content and skill level

[compact gull]

What is considered the harder job in the community

[lost sable]

what is the map allowance? where do i go to aquire it?

[regal pawn]

personally
SAM due to the need to loop and that's really easy to fuck up
BLM due to Movement

[ember goblet]

Blm can make the game harder

[regal pawn]

be gatherer

slap a node

[lost sable]

ah cool, thx!

[boreal storm]

That’s not a question we can answer
Because again REALLY SUBJECTIVE

[iron yarrow]

ninja you need to remember ninjutsu combos

[regal pawn]

ok but that's braindead

[lost sable]

tbh not that difficult as someone who plays nin

[iron yarrow]

[compact gull]

In ur opinion pesificly

[iron yarrow]

true

[regal pawn]

remembering jutsu is just remembering rotation

SAM and BLM

[lost sable]

i hear monk is hard to keep track of where you are in the rotation, but i havent played it myself

[regal pawn]

nah

[keen cedar]

Do we know when the new Ultimate drops?

[regal pawn]

tomorrow iirc?

[keen cedar]

Oh for real? Dang

[regal pawn]

ye

[lost sable]

with patch 6.11 in 16 hours

but theres maintenance so maybe later

[faint flare]

That's what the maint is for

[compact gull]

Wtf is a blue mage

[regal pawn]

Joke Mage

not even a joke

[boreal storm]

It’s unique

[regal pawn]

straight up just

funny mage

104 different spells

[boreal storm]

Many of which are Busted beyond belief

[regal pawn]

Oh what's that?

Trick attack is now personal and mug is the bufF?

not for BLU

Let's take cover
FLip it

[boreal storm]

May I introduce you to the longest damage over time in the game?

[regal pawn]

All those frozen enemies?

delete them

[compact gull]

So can it go into raids or is it just that funny class

[regal pawn]

Smile

[compact gull]

Damn that time

[regal pawn]

It can go in premades

[regal pawn]

1,900 pot total

flat

[compact gull]

How do I get it

[boreal storm]

And yes it stacks with other BLUs

[regal pawn]

limsa

[oak lily]

you need to beat ARR

[regal pawn]

2,850 potency cause boost from bristle

[compact gull]

So if it a job then why is it a joke class

[oak lily]

because it is

[regal pawn]

This is why

[boreal storm]

It can’t do anything past it’s lvl

[regal pawn]

hello boss

bye boss

[boreal storm]

We’re at 90 cap
Blu just got lvl 70 a couple patches ago

[compact gull]

Hm

Well damn

[boreal storm]

You straight up aren’t allowed to use it for the story period

[compact gull]

Bruuh

I see why but damn

[regal pawn]

lvl 70 dungeon boss

dead in 25s

health go brrrrrrr

but ye

BLU is basically side content

[boreal storm]

Also this:

The apkallu, in the wild, violently regurgitates its latest pescatarian meal at predators as a defense mechanism In blue magic trials, Flying Sardine has proven to be an equally effective deterrent even when the sardine in question is not entirely physical, reliably shocking adversaries into silence.

[regal pawn]

hey

don't forget the first part

[boreal storm]

You can throw up fish

[regal pawn]

where you straight up vomit an aetheric fish

[oak lily]

https://tenor.com/view/cramorant-swallow-pikachu-shiny-gif-22990576

[hasty socket]

but in order to get it you have to let an apkallu vomit a fish on you (or get a buddy to take the vomit)

[boreal storm]

You have to see one vomit a fish

[compact gull]

So yoshi made a class that can 1 shot enemy's,but can't be used in story...

That hilarious

[boreal hemlock]

If I buy a Makai set and grab the title there, will the wins still count if I'm playing another class?

[regal pawn]

yes

any title works

on any class

[boreal storm]

As long as the title’s on

[regal pawn]

not only that

The job starts off as a scam

[boreal hemlock]

great, my SAM isn't 60 yet so I didn't wanna have to do Palace to grab a title

[compact gull]

XD

[regal pawn]

it's straight up the best fucking thing ever made

[regal pawn]

pvp is from 30

and level doesn't matter past that

[boreal hemlock]

you need to be 60 to equip the set

for title

[regal pawn]

oh

[compact gull]

Astrologen looks like a fun class to get or do I need endwalker

[regal pawn]

got there in the end

[compact gull]

Gonna continue playing as a smn and switch to astrologen

I can't wait to play like a yugioh Character

Ok let's say i delete a charater and I unlocked astrologen would i still have it when picking a class

[regal pawn]

no lol

[compact gull]

Bruuh

[faint flare]

Everything is character locked

[robust crow]

astrologian gets compared to yugioh a lot, rightly because cards, but it plays a bit differently than the other healers

they have the most buttons to press

[faint flare]

Basically nothing except account mounts and vet rewards are shared

[compact gull]

So it wouldn't appear in class section in character creation

[compact gull]

Thats nice

[faint flare]

It's not a starting class

[regal pawn]

why make the alt in the first place

you'll have to go through the entire story again

[compact gull]

Yea ik

I usually like starting over with a different class

[robust crow]

you don't need to do this in ffxiv

because one character can be every job

in fact, it's lore friendly that your character can do everything

[compact gull]

Oh thats really cool

[robust crow]

in the shadowbringers trailer, your character is seen changing jobs on the fly

[glad dirge]

I’m trying to understand the Additional Service Account thing on PS4

My understanding is that, yea it registers another SE account to the PSN account. Does that mean like, if I have a Free Trial account and plan on upgrading it, and my PSN is already tied to another account. I could just buy the Additional Service and link that psn to the new account?

[pure zenith]

also once you beat a section of the story, you unlock new game + typically so you can restart the story on a separate class without a new character

[compact gull]

YOOOOOO is it harder too

[faint flare]

No

[compact gull]

Aww

[faint flare]

It's literally just the same with no rewards

[compact gull]

Still can't wait to do that

[faint flare]

It's purely just for redoing story for whatever reason you want

[oblique skiff]

wait ogcds get boosted by bristle?

[fleet steppe]

!action bristle

[zinc orbit]

**Bristle** : lvl 1 BLU (200 MP) (2.5 second cooldown)(1.0 second base cast time)

Increases the potency of the next spell cast by 50%.
Duration: 30s
Effect cannot be stacked with Harmonized.

Blue Magic

Instinctive to beastkin, Bristle channels sheer animalistic rage into heightened spiritual and physical power. The blue mage will find that she can adapt this technique to increase her spells' potency.

Wild Boar / East Shroud (18, 24)

[fleet steppe]

Spell cast, so presumably... no?

[faint flare]

It doesn't

[fleet steppe]

I think the potency comes from Moon Flute

[faint flare]

Final sting is gcd

[fleet steppe]

Yeah ik. They were talking about nightbloom tho

[glad dirge]

Yeah never mind, I made a new PSN account instead for my Free Trial

The thing seems more trouble than what it is worth

[robust crow]

not sure if anyone actually answered your question

but the licensing is separate, meaning if you start free trial on PSN

if you ever play on PC you have to buy the game twice

if you only own PSN license but not PC, you get leveled down to 60 while on PC client despite paying the same sub

[glad dirge]

I already started Free Trial on my PC, so that means I can’t cross play?

[robust crow]

if they are separate accounts then you are fucked

they have to be on the same service account

[storm notch]

so what plots can I actually bid on now, as a solo player. Visited several Limsa plots but all locked to FC

[glad dirge]

Ah so make a new PSN

[robust crow]

just add your PSN account to your existing service account

you have to link the two services iirc

[glad dirge]

But it already is added to an old service account

[raven sage]

None right now as bidding is closed and the whole thing is suspended for now. When it opens again you can do it in wards 19-24

[glad dirge]

One that I do not want to renew

[robust crow]

oh yea you're probably fucked I think

[storm notch]

oh.....dang

[robust crow]

best to contact support

[glad dirge]

Yeah that’s fine

[storm notch]

ok I saw the 19-24 thing, but yeah it being suspended makes sense

[glad dirge]

I’m just making a new account ecosystem for it anyways then, just wanted to see if I could preserve my main PSN for that

But it’s honestly no big deal for me

[storm notch]

so its 19-24 in every district right?

[raven sage]

yep

[storm notch]

ok

[raven sage]

just have to wait for them to sort out the bug so keep an eye on #lodestone-news-na

[simple crown]

so i just unlocked gold saucer.what do i do here apart from gambling

[faint flare]

The gates and other mini games

Chocobo racing is downstairs

[celest quartz]

Which tank is the middle ground in terms of weaving? So like No weaving - Single Weaving - Double Weaving - Piano Fingers.

I'm looking for something along the lines of single weaving

[fresh jasper]

DRK?

[faint flare]

DRK is piano

[outer mural]

DRK is most definitely piano

[faint flare]

There's no in-between for tanks

[outer mural]

there's really no single-weaving yeah

[faint flare]

Gnb and DRK double weave alot

[outer mural]

PLD and WAR have few weaves

[faint flare]

Pld and war only have a few

[outer mural]

though PLD has more than WAR marginally

so that's probably your best bet

[fresh jasper]

There's not many weaves for PLD but compare to WAR, there is an actual rotation

[devout crystal]

Relic weapons cannot be stored in a glamour dresser?

[heavy wadi]

no

replicas can

[fresh jasper]

Replicas can

[faint flare]

Not after getting custom stats

[outer mural]

also depends on which relic weapon, some of the shadowbringers one can

[faint flare]

Custom stats block it

[outer mural]

everything before that you do need replicas for sure

[faint flare]

As it can't store the custom stat info

[devout crystal]

I just want the look of it. How can I do that? Just use the glam prism?

[faint flare]

Get replicas

[boreal storm]

put them in dresser

[faint flare]

Which unlock at various points depending on relic

[outer mural]

depending on which relic you're doing, you'll get access to a level 1 version called 'x relic replica' and then you just store it normally

[devout crystal]

No I am not even done with the relic weapons. Just the middle stages

[faint flare]

Some unlock midway

[fleet steppe]

You're gonna double weave at many points as a tank regardless when u need to pop mitigation during burst etc.

[faint flare]

Depends on relic series

[devout crystal]

Once you get the replica, then just dispose the originals?

[boreal storm]

not if you're not finished

[faint flare]

If you are finished/don't want to continue I guess

[devout crystal]

I see

Thx

[fresh jasper]

yeah but can I still get replica if I turned-in/discarded zeta relics?

[atomic jewel]

When am I gonna wanna use neutral sect?

[faint flare]

When you need the extra mitigation and heal boost from it

It's your super heal cooldown

[atomic jewel]

So at the start of a pull, or end

[twilit arch]

only if you turn it in for the first step of anima, if you didn't then you need the zeta to buy the replicas

[atomic jewel]

Cuz it seems like an oh shit cd

[faint flare]

Varies but usually more at the start

[gloomy imp]

as a dancer, how can i use Honing Ovation in PVP?

[faint flare]

It's not

[atomic jewel]

Tysm

[fresh jasper]

Hmmm.

[faint flare]

Channel honing and hit things

[gloomy imp]

ah honing dance

[twilit arch]

its a bit annoying but unfortunately its a product of ARR relic not being made with replicas in mind

[faint flare]

You get 1 stack per tick of you hitting stuff

[gloomy imp]

got it

thanks

[halcyon shard]

Why is it taking forever to load into a zone... I'm running 5800x 6700xt (I just came back to the game)

[oak lily]

What zone?

[green grail]

depends more on your ssd/hard drive, afaik

[regal pawn]

that ain't gonna help your load times lmao

if you got a shit drive

[halcyon shard]

I got 2 m.2

[regal pawn]

also define "forever"

and what zone

[halcyon shard]

All zones 45secs plus

[regal pawn]

idk what to tell you, sounds like something is fucked up on your end

[gloomy imp]

if i have the makai title of one class and use another class with it, does it still count for achiecvements?

[oak lily]

Yes

[fleet steppe]

How full is the drive that has 14 on it?

[gloomy imp]

cool cause i'm changing my char gender soon and don't wanna buy the gear yet...

[halcyon shard]

Pretty empty maybe 5 %

[fleet steppe]

Huh. Might be a bad install. Could also be cpu/gpu/ram limitations, but I doubt it

Google likely has more answers than anyone could offer here, searching like "ffxiv long load times on ssd" or something

[halcyon shard]

5800x clocked to 4.75 all core
6700xt oc 2700mhz
16gb of 3600 xmp 16 16 19 36
2x m.2 barely full
B550 gaming f wifi
Corsair aio

[fleet steppe]

I mean my friend runs final off an hdd with an i5-5th gen and a 1050ti and her load times are like

20-30s

Yeah it makes no sense to me why a normal install of the game would take that long to load.

[viscid moth]

How does the pvp limit break charge up work?

What influences it?

[fleet steppe]

Different classes charge faster, Bard LB fills it gradually, and I believe (am not sure of this really) healing/dealing damage also boosts it a bit

[oblique skiff]

I'm pretty sure it's just kills time and buffs that specifically boost lb

[pure copper]

1st time doing the EW alli raid...so i only get 1 gear piece for the week? and a token

[remote ice]

what is a good gear set level to start savage raiding?

and yes @pure copper

[proud barn]

Queation can gladiaters use the fist weapons

[remote ice]

no

only monks

[pure copper]

weapons are class/job locked

[oblique skiff]

just full 590 augmented crafted/aglaia

[remote ice]

okay

[oblique skiff]

full 590 is standard now so like

it's expected

much like 580 was expected on tier drop

[remote ice]

im at 580 so i was just wondering

ty

[pure copper]

for tanks, is there a particular priority on AR pieces?

lookin at the stats on etro and the chestpiece looks the best with the crit/det

[oblique skiff]

well are you using the gear for actual gear or glam

if actual gear, chest piece > legs seems like the play

I think sks from aug crafted boots is more worth than the det for almost every build

[open ember]

I still have 560 on some class cuz I'm lazy

😂

[small geode]

Do I go determination or direct hit rate for Reaper?

[outer mural]

CRIT > DH=DET is the meld priority.

This means meld CRIT first, unless you will overcap on the stat. If you cannot meld more CRIT, meld DET or DH. DET = DH and DH = DET mean the same thing. They are virtually identical in the meld priority, but please consult the Gear Comparison Tool if you want to know which one you should meld in a specific spot.

[small geode]

ty

[outer mural]

If you can't decide between which or don't want to calculate, meld what you have lower of between DH and DET

[oblique skiff]

just meld dh so you can't overcap

[devout crystal]

Other than a warrior, which tank is the easiest to master? I suppose GNB is the hardest of all tanks. What is the 2nd easiest? DRK? PLD?

[fresh jasper]

PLD

[devout crystal]

I see

[fresh jasper]

DRK, GNB are sir Weaves'lot tanks

sory

[crimson moon]

I don't know exactly where to go with this, but there's a weird model bug happening with, at least, Sage and Reaper, in what appears to be just instanced areas, like Frontline, Trials, e.t.c.. The model for sage's weapons lingers, so there's a static copy of the model sheathed on the back, and the model used in animations existing at the same time, and even when I swapped jobs (in frontline), the weapon models persisted on the back of the new job, but after I left frontline, the issue disappeared completely.

Then when I entered into a trial as reaper, the sage's weapons were still there until I used a skill involving the reaper's voidsent animation, in which case the voidsent model paused and never left where it was used until I used another skill that used the voidsent model.

[faint flare]

You havent seen the silly posts on reddit about this?

[crimson moon]

No... orz

It's not just me then at least. XD

I was running around in frontline as a sage with the voidsent model over me and was completely confused.

My friend is trying to download the free trial via steam.
When they log into the trial launcher with their squeenix account they get an error saying their account doesn't have a valid license.

[remote lintel]

try closing and relaunching the launcher until it lets you in

also check their mogstation to make sure they dont already own the game

[crystal bluff]

I did
Says they're on free trial

[alpine shadow]

make sure they launch the game trough steam

and that it is actually a free trial version they downloaded

[crystal bluff]

It's the "demo" download on the regular games steam store page, right?

[alpine shadow]

yep

if it still doesn't work, double check on mogstation if their account type is set to "free trial"

!faq mogstation

[zinc orbit]

FFXIV Mog Station

FFXIV Mog Station link

[remote lintel]

the steam trial has issues like that

the only solution i remember is to keep relaunching it

[crystal bluff]

Hm
Alright I'll see if that works

[vast ferry]

is it okay to clip swiftcast and triplecast for movement

[alpine shadow]

if they downloaded the wrong version of ffxiv, aka the standard edition (not demo version), then they won't be able to use the free trial

[alpine shadow]

"it's ok", but not optimal

[vast ferry]

i mean at my current level i don't have e much of an option

besudes swift and triple cast instants are rng

[alpine shadow]

if you can use it when you are unable to do dps, then yeah it is better to clip it

[regal pawn]

F3 procs

Also yeah

You CAN use scathe

[vast ferry]

rng

[regal pawn]

!action sharpcast

[faint flare]

Sharpcast

[zinc orbit]

**Sharpcast** : lvl 54 BLM (60.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Ensures the next Scathe, Fire, Paradox, or Thunder spell cast will, for the first hit, trigger Scathe's additional effect, Firestarter, or Thundercloud.
Duration: 30s
Maximum Charges: 2

[vast ferry]

i always forget that exists

[regal pawn]

And if you think you'll have to move soon

Keep the f3

[vast ferry]

which is an ogcd so either way i'd clip something

[faint flare]

No

Weave with fire 3

[regal pawn]

Weave it after you first f3

[faint flare]

When you swap

[regal pawn]

To get the proc in

[outer mural]

In case of emergency to prevent deaths (using Addle/Manaward/panic Aetherial Manipulation) or to keep uptime where it otherwise would not be possible, it situationally can still be good to use oGCD abilities even without weaving them. However, it is recommended to later figure out a better way to deal with the situation without relying on clipping oGCD abilities.

[faint flare]

Fire/blizzard 3 let you weave 1 thing when swapping stances
