make the proc 100% chance

[faint flare]

Yes a proc

[rancid gull]

didn't they promise this as a feature though

[warm snow]

!action fire

[zinc orbit]

**Fire** : lvl 2 THM BLM (800 MP) (2.5 second cooldown)(2.5 second base cast time)

Deals fire damage with a potency of 180.
Additional Effect: Grants Astral Fire or removes Umbral Ice
Duration: 15s
Additional Effect: 40% chance next Fire III will cost no MP and have no cast time
Duration: 30s

Powered by XIVAPI

[rancid gull]

before they released the expansion?

[warm snow]

@leaden ginkgo makes that 40% chance 100%

[faint flare]

Yes and it's been pushed back constantly

Due to server issues

[slate arrow]

And then the fire nation shadowlands happened

[leaden ginkgo]

does it force the "scathe ability" or the "fire" ability to proc?

[faint flare]

There was meant to be before endwalker even hit

[ivory grotto]

both and thunder also

[heavy wadi]

it isn't simply a switch they can flick

[warm snow]

All abilities that have random chances

Black mage has 3

[rancid gull]

I was just curious if it will be a feature

[warm snow]

!action sharpcast

[slate arrow]

Fire 1, Scathe, and Thunder will proc their special thing when sharpscast is active

[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

Powered by XIVAPI

[rancid gull]

seems like it won't be until a long while

[warm snow]

See it lists 3

[slate arrow]

Do you know server engineering and database management

[leaden ginkgo]

it says "trigger scathe aditional effect", i thought it only meant it would proc scathe specifically, but it also proc fire, ice etch?

[ivory grotto]

yeah it can be either

[warm snow]

Whatever ability you cast first

[rancid gull]

I don't need to know I'm asking a question seeing as they change this every few weeks

[faint flare]

That's literally what it says on the tooltip

[ivory grotto]

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

[leaden ginkgo]

ok thx

[warm snow]

It's been 6.18 as the latest date for months

This hasn't been changing every few weeks

[slate arrow]

Exactly. Be patient. Unless another dumpster fire happens, 6.18 should be the expected ETA for the first version of DC visit

[warm snow]

If you want to keep up to date, watch the lodestone

[rancid gull]

my question was about cross region

[warm snow]

And that doesn't have a date

[rancid gull]

I'm definitely patient I'm just asking

[warm snow]

And is potentially never

[slate arrow]

The main point is that the physical (same region servers are all basically on the same machine/same server hub or basically located right next to each other

[rancid gull]

gotcha

[heavy wadi]

1. that hasn't been the case.

2. they said in the 6.1 pll to expect it in 6.18.

3. shit happens. it's not predictable. this is a substantial feat for them that could very easily break. given the issues they had with housing it's easy to see why they would be careful about such a substantial change

[warm snow]

4. This is also an experiment. If communities don't react well to clashing cultures they might just not do cross regional dc travel

[slate arrow]

To show you the power of datacenter visit I sawed this game in half

(which could literally happen if done improperly)

[rancid gull]

see, this is a very valid reasoning

but I think you guys covered it for me

thank you

[faint flare]

Also: ping

Who the fuck knows how they'll do ping with cross region

[ivory grotto]

doubt they can do a thing

tbh

[slate arrow]

[rancid gull]

I raided in HW from NA ISP to Odin (EU) I think the game is generous on most classes

[ivory grotto]

just uhh

get used to it

[rancid gull]

with ping

[ivory grotto]

you can still clear high end content anyway

doub that it matters

[warm snow]

It's just annoying

[heavy wadi]

that is not true for every user in every region but sure

[rancid gull]

idk how my net mingles with AU but isn't this going off topic?

[heavy wadi]

speaking as someone who gets 90ms to na servers and lives in an urban area in na

[ivory grotto]

i mean

if u raid from asia to EU

as MCH

without any help of third party tool

2 word for you

get fucked

[leaden ginkgo]

Can the dark inside be skipped? I'm not a very good dps yet and I just want to clear the main scenario

[ivory grotto]

no

[faint flare]

SE branded vpn

[warm snow]

It's not a dps thing

[ivory grotto]

people can help you so should be fine

if you die you die

[warm snow]

More of a pay attention, hope your healers don't die thing

[boreal storm]

learn from your deaths

[slate arrow]

Don't stand in the telegraphed attack location

[ivory grotto]

is it your first time?

[warm snow]

There's no enrage so you could technically fight the boss for an hour straight if your groups dps is bad enough

[faint flare]

It's just like any other trial

[warm snow]

Afraid all we can say is "git gud" and hope you team does the same

[leaden ginkgo]

yeah I've had the game for about 3 days. It'll likely be frowned upon but I bought a scenario skip thing once I found out there's a ng+ and I just wanted to unlock late game areas for gathering

[heavy wadi]

msq is mandatory.

[warm snow]

This is a story based game more than anything, literally everything is locked behind main story progress.

[ivory grotto]

just say that this is your first time and try your best

[heavy wadi]

you should look up vids on how to play your job if you're having issues

[warm snow]

And boost only gets you to the current expansion

[boreal storm]

that fight doesn't even have an enrage to worry about iirc
so like just keep at it

[ivory grotto]

nope

[warm snow]

If you wanna gather, I mean you have 4 other expansions to gather in

Materials are still semi relevant

[faint flare]

Just dodge lol or get raised after and be carried

[warm snow]

And there's no gatherer boosts to begin with

Iirc

[faint flare]

You got 2 more trials after this to finish the story so hop to it

[leaden ginkgo]

I've got a botanist at 90 and I wanna use it lol. But I get what you're saying

[ivory grotto]

just to confirm

what class are you using?

[warm snow]

I know it's mean but head to the grindstone and git gud is about all we can offer

[leaden ginkgo]

BLM

[ivory grotto]

oh boi

owelp overall still should be ok

[warm snow]

If you need a job guide you can look up weskalber good ones for beginner

Blm is... Rough

[ivory grotto]

i mean

[faint flare]

Just abuse your triplecasts and xenoglossy for movement

[ivory grotto]

dps check at normal content doesnt exist

so should be good

[mighty escarp]

i'm thinking of transferring from hyperion to another server (maybe staying in primal, not sure yet)

looking for a change, and making new friends in ff

[warm snow]

If you have to stop casting to avoid the mechanics that's fine

[ivory grotto]

^

[mighty escarp]

cvan anyone suggest a good server in NA to transfer to?

[warm snow]

You don't need to min max your damage in normal/casual content

[faint flare]

No point in paying to transfer if you're not moving data centres

[leaden ginkgo]

lolol my "rotation" right now is just blizzard 1, 4, transpose, fire 1, hopefully fire 3 procs, otherwise transpose and repeat. Til gloss procs

[faint flare]

Cause you can just world visit to another

[boreal storm]

literally doesn't matter

[mighty escarp]

well i'm being open minded in transferring to another DC

[faint flare]

Absolutely terrible

[mighty escarp]

i just resubbed, my FC is dead

lol

[warm snow]

.... MY EYES

[leaden ginkgo]

I know loool

[warm snow]

Find a new fc then

[faint flare]

THM/BLM Leveling Rotations

Image URL: https://i.imgur.com/rax8gpG.png

[faint flare]

This is your rotation

[heavy wadi]

just go to crystal if you want to meet more folks or something

[mighty escarp]

yea?

is crystal very social?

[faint flare]

It has the 2 main rp servers in it

[heavy wadi]

^

if you want a change of pace it'd probably be good to go to another dc

[boreal storm]

but then again all dcs are social enough

[faint flare]

Server choice doesn't change anything, only data centre changes anything

Due to world visit and cross server matching

[celest quartz]

tbh I never found BLM rotation that crazy to comprehend

[faint flare]

Cause it's not

[celest quartz]

isnt one of the changes just... adding in one of the skills you got? like xD

[boreal storm]

they bought a skip tho, so like

[warm snow]

#general-discussion territory tbf

[faint flare]

It's applying said rotation to fights that force you to move

[celest quartz]

I mean youd need to learn the rotation for any class at that point tho

[hollow inlet]

How do I unlock the quest, “A Self-Improving Man”? I’m trying to be able to make glamour prisms

[mighty escarp]

is there a server analysis like this?

https://doublexp.com/guides/best-servers-to-join-in-final-fantasy-xiv

[outer mural]

the base BLM gameplan is also far different from optimized BLM lines

[warm snow]

You don't want to do that

[celest quartz]

sorry to be clear I was talking about rotation changes

[warm snow]

!faq worldpick

[heavy wadi]

no

[outer mural]

no, these are usually gamer articles written by people who haven't played the game for more than a week

[zinc orbit]

Which world should I pick?

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

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

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

Notable worlds:

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

[heavy wadi]

none of them are accurate

[hollow inlet]

Why?

[warm snow]

Read the bottom sentence @mighty escarp

[boreal storm]

by doing the other glam quest before it

[warm snow]

Not worth it cuz you can buy them for 200 gc seals each which is nothing

[outer mural]

you can also get glamour prisms from your GC, which is far less tedious

[celest quartz]

^

Im DROWNING in them ever since I got through the GC to buy em

[warm snow]

I mean if you're going for some pure self sufficient challenger sure but imma roll My eyes that

[hollow inlet]

It is worth it when I spent all my GC seals on glamour prisms already

[leaden ginkgo]

To be clear, regarding that blm rotation for 72-89, transpose isnt used?

[warm snow]

It's stupid easy to get gc seals

[outer mural]

why are you making more, exactly?

[warm snow]

Yes

[celest quartz]

nope

it is not used

[leaden ginkgo]

thanks! doesn't look that hard

[hollow inlet]

I know it is. But I still want the ability to make them

[celest quartz]

but to be clear if you're running from pack to pack in a dungeon you can still use it to keep up the damage buff

!trait aspect mastery iii

[zinc orbit]

**Aspect Mastery III** : lvl 35 THM BLM

Allows the stacking of a third Astral Fire and Umbral Ice.
Casting Fire II or Blizzard II grants maximum stacks of Astral Fire or Umbral Ice respectively.
When maintaining three stacks of Astral Fire or Umbral Ice, the cast time of spells of the opposite element is halved.

Powered by XIVAPI

[outer mural]

if you already know where to get them then your question's been answered i think, but side-note being that making glamour prisms yourself to sell is not worth the effort if that is your intent

if not and you just want it to have it then pop off

[warm snow]

Wrong onr

[faint flare]

You only transpose if you're in fire phase when the boss goes away, so you can swap to ice and spam umbral soul

You don't actively use it when you can hit the boss

[celest quartz]

you're assuming they have umbral

[warm snow]

!trait aspect mastery

[zinc orbit]

**Aspect Mastery** : lvl 1 THM BLM

Casting of certain fire and ice spells will grant a stack of Astral Fire and Umbral Ice respectively.
Maximum Stacks: 1
Duration: 15s
While under the effect of either Astral Fire or Umbral Ice, casting a spell of the opposite element will consume no MP.
Effect does not apply to Flare.

[faint flare]

They're 83

[warm snow]

This negates the need

[faint flare]

Cause they're at the 83 trial

[celest quartz]

level sync is also a thing

[hollow inlet]

It’s not my intent, and I don’t want to pop off. But I don’t want to have to spend gil when on low on seals

[outer mural]

I mean pop off as 'yeah go for it' if you just want it to have it

[hollow inlet]

Then do you know how I unlock the quest?

[celest quartz]

just... run some dungeons? ?_?

they're free

cost no gil

[warm snow]

Levelling ones even give you a free piece of gear if your rolls are garbo

[outer mural]

oh, i thoguht this was answered
that quest got removed

[hollow inlet]

I guess since my question wasn’t answered I’ll just buy them off the mb

[outer mural]

i think you can just outright make glamour prisms

[warm snow]

You have to buy a book in vesper bay

To get the recipes

[outer mural]

but yeah i mean the general consensus is that making your own glamour prisms is never usually worth the effort

ah yeah right i forgot

[hollow inlet]

From what npc

[outer mural]

also yeah at higher levels like 90 or even 70 - 80, unsyncing like 50 - 60 dungeons gets gear quickly for selling for GCs

[warm snow]

Don't remember, but there's only like 3 shops

[outer mural]

The Vault has like 4 chests after the first boss

[manic valve]

why is the 2nd skill glowing?

[outer mural]

combo

[celest quartz]

combo 😄

press it for moar damages

[outer mural]

that means you should use it next in your sequence, read ur tooltips

thanks a lot

[warm snow]

Always read the tool tips on new skills

[celest quartz]

arent some spells/attacks lit up like that even though they arent technically combos?

[warm snow]

Yes

[manic valve]

oops i guess i shouldnt have come this close

[boreal storm]

procs light up, because well you should use em immediately

[warm snow]

Lmao

[warm snow]

Yeahhhh

[manic valve]

im still trying to find this lost lamb for the way of the marauder quest

[warm snow]

Look in the orange areas on your map

[mighty escarp]

It is free to transfer to a preferred world, correct?

[open coral]

Yes

[slate arrow]

From a congested world

[warm snow]

Only if you're on a congested world

[boreal storm]

which there are none currently

[mighty escarp]

i have some extra crysta in my account i wanted to use

i did it for free basically

thanks anyhow

I'm returning from 6.0 start...i have yet to do the raid and 6.1 raid, and 6.1 story

which should i do first? 6.1 story?

then focus on raids?

[warm snow]

Everything is locked behind main story progress

[open coral]

You have to get to a certain point in the 6.1 story in order to unlock the Alliance raid anyways.

[warm snow]

Well normal raids aren't yet

[mighty escarp]

i have the first raid unlocked for asphodelos

[warm snow]

If you missed those

Then it's up to you

We don't pay your sub

[open coral]

I'd recommend getting through the Normal raids first and grabbing a full set of gear for there so you have the ilevel to do the dungeon and Alliance raid later.

[leaden ginkgo]

I renamed my FC a long time ago, recently I noticed the old name is still on the Shield on the outside and also in the windows to the room, is there a way to change that?

or am I stuck with the name?

[warm snow]

Rename your fc house

That's its own thing

[heavy wadi]

You have to turn them in to the npc.

[primal cradle]

is there a way to lock/unlock chat position? i think i locked it a long time ago and can't drag it around

[warm snow]

You just drag it by the first tab

You can't lock it to begin With

[devout crystal]

Can I do Eureka solo? I just want to know the whole story and quests. I don't wanna miss out on the story.

[warm snow]

Most of it

The last of the story is locked behind the 56 man raid

[devout crystal]

Dang

[faint flare]

If you get the kirin osode/vermilion cloak you'll be good to solo zones

[devout crystal]

No one is doing it I suppose?

[warm snow]

Plenty still do

[faint flare]

But it will be slow unless you catch fate trains

[devout crystal]

Cool

[warm snow]

At least on light

The raid gives the ozma mount

So it's always in demand

[devout crystal]

Any recommended job for a smooth run?

[warm snow]

The raids a joke post stats squish

So no

[faint flare]

Any job with good self healing or MCH for the insta burst and range

[devout crystal]

I have WAR and SAM and SMN. Which one should be better?

[faint flare]

War

[devout crystal]

Got it. Thx

[faint flare]

Especially when hitting pyros and get logos actions

[devout crystal]

Btw, so far there are only Eureka and Bozja, right? I mean those types of unique instant zone contents. And 2 deep dungeons. Right?

[faint flare]

Yes

[devout crystal]

Cool. Thx

[primal cradle]

so, it doesnt move

[warm snow]

???

You click and drag the first tab and that move the entire chat box

[little marsh]

I can't get this to drop :(

It is in my inventory

I tried equipping it just for the boss and that didn't work

[outer mural]

are you doing the hard variants

[little marsh]

yeah

unsynced though idk if that matters?

[outer mural]

it does not

[little marsh]

then idk wtf is the matter

[faint flare]

Is it equipped as you leave

[little marsh]

yes

Well the second time around

I even beat the boss with it just to be sure

[outer mural]

i know this is insane to ask but are you sure it's the right weapon

[faint flare]

Are you absolutely positive it's hard mode

[little marsh]

Yeah I have it and a replica both in my inventory

Ayup, 100% positive

[faint flare]

Replicas aren't needed

[little marsh]

with the jester boss guy

Oh I know I just wanted the non-shiny variant as a glam

[outer mural]

send a picture of the weapon in your equip slot with the name, and the name of the instance

just to be doubly sure

[faint flare]

I don't think any of the duties have a jester

Soool

[boreal storm]

Well there’s Ferdinand

[outer mural]

i know this sounds like i'm doubting your sanity but if you did everything right it should work

I can't believe I had to ask 🤭

[outer mural]

measure twice cut once

[boreal storm]

Not the channel for that

[clear monolith]

which channel is appropriate?

[outer mural]

not any unless the topic is prompted tbh, adverting friend codes isn't bad but it's not really called for unless someone asks

[boreal storm]

And even then we have a RAF faq

[clear monolith]

oh, ok! Deleting 🙂
Sorry about that!

[outer mural]

yeah no worries man you were just trying to help

[barren granite]

🙏🏼

[boreal storm]

Please don’t @ me for no reason, thank you

[barren granite]

i respect you, thanks dude

[distant hedge]

I bought endwalker on my ps4 but it's not showing up in my library, am i missing something here?

[boreal storm]

Did you buy the base game too?

[outer mural]

did you buy the base game in addition to endwalker

[distant hedge]

Yes

[jovial quarry]

Also you may need to close the game completely before it registers

[barren granite]

so the base game is present but EW ?

[jovial quarry]

If that doesn’t work, then a restart.

[distant hedge]

I already closed the game and restarted my console

[jovial quarry]

[barren granite]

Euro / US ?

[boreal storm]

Could you look at mogstation and see if it’s registered or not

Because if it is, you have no issue

[barren granite]

i rememrbr issue w/ us customers accidentally buying euro on us + vsvrsa

[distant hedge]

Let me check

[jovial quarry]

PSN handles that stuff in the backend. It should have a tick for every expansion when you check Mogstation.

[distant hedge]

Oh, I logged back into the game and the dlc showed up

[boreal storm]

There ya go

[barren granite]

sweet

[distant hedge]

Ty for your help

[hollow inlet]

Is there a fast way to level up to 50 from 44 without doing the dzmael darkhold and aurum vale? I’m leveling DRK and hate doing dzmael darkhold and aurum vale

[faint flare]

Suffer in potd but the dungeons would be faster

[midnight tinsel]

Frontlines ?

[faint flare]

That's weekly

For half a level

[boreal storm]

Leveling roulette is still a thing

[tiny crag]

Is it possible to buy wind/ice/etc shards, or can you only get them through crafting/gathering and related quests?

[faint flare]

You can

[twilit arch]

yes you can buy them on the marketboard

[tiny crag]

Sweet, thanks guys! I really wasn't looking forward to mining shards right now lol

[hollow inlet]

I guess I could spam roulettes. As well as hop into fates

[faint flare]

Spamming roulettes won't give you anything

Or basically give you nothing

[hollow inlet]

Damn. I already did my roulette today

[manic flare]

what happened today that there are so many people logging on?

[boreal storm]

It’s peak

[manic flare]

usually doesn't get up to this high though

even in peak times its <100

[leaden ginkgo]

for some reason I I can't use my gift card to buy EW expansion from SE website

any clues on what's happening? thanks

[slate arrow]

That is a question you should ask SE support for. If you can use PayPal, I'd recommend using that instead since they support a wider range of payment vendors.

[solar marten]

hello all i downloaded the game and played most the day. when i open the game i get offered two differnt versions one being endwalker. its asking me to download now again?

[leaden ginkgo]

um any oce users, which country did you choose when paying from EU website?

[boreal storm]

EndWalker is the expansion
Did you not input it

Before purchasing, you may wish to try out the game with the Free Trial, which allows you to experience the game up to level 60 with no limitations on playtime, albeit with some social and trade-related restrictions. See !faq freetrial for info.

Please be aware that FFXIV is a subscription-based game, and after purchasing the game you must pay for each month of play. There is no way to return to being a Free Trial player after you have registered a purchased copy of the game to your account; you must pay to log in and continue playing.

PC users: make sure to buy the game on your preferred store (Steam vs. Square Enix Store). Purchasing the game on Steam locks you into using Steam for all future expansion purchases, and similarly purchasing it via Square Enix Store or any other non-Steam retailer locks you out of ever using Steam to play FFXIV. After your game code has been registered to your FFXIV account, this decision can never be changed.

FINAL FANTASY XIV Online Starter Edition:
AKA the ''base game.'' Gives access to A Realm Reborn and Heavensward. This is the same content that you can play during the Free Trial, but with the Free Trial restrictions on social interactions, trading, PvP etc. lifted. Comes with 30 days of subscription time.

FINAL FANTASY XIV: Endwalker:
Gives access to Stormblood, Shadowbringers, and the latest expansion, Endwalker. Does not include any bonus subscription time.

FINAL FANTASY XIV Online Complete Edition:
Combines all of the above into a single purchase (including the 30 days of subscription time).

[solar marten]

i understand it is but its still making me do a 25 minute download

[boreal storm]

Because you’re downloading the rest of the game

That’s how it works

[solar marten]

okay perfect thank you

i assumed it downloaded the whole game when i did it my bad

[slate arrow]

That's how they keep you from glitching into the expansion zones anyways, you literally don't have the files downloaded

[solar marten]

so each time i open the game after download i get asked which version i want to run? im sorry in advance im new to this so im trying to understand

I have online starter edition and endwalker edition. will i start playing endwalker at at certain level

[strange coral]

There aren't different versions when you have the latest expansion. You just have everything at that point.

You will start Endwalker when you reach that point in the story. You play through the story of each expansion in order.

[solar marten]

Okay thank you so for now ill just keep playing the starter edition

[slate arrow]

There's only one version of the game. Your Mogstation simply determines how much you have access to

You can't access Endwalker early, except for Sage and Reaper, which you can access as soon as you complete Stormblood

[solar marten]

okay thanks sorry again!

[leaden ginkgo]

Ok, i've bought the EW expansion, where do I claim it?

[boreal storm]

Mogstation

[leaden ginkgo]

around where? thanks

new to SE payment thing

[boreal storm]

The box that says “ENTER EXPANSION CODE”

[barren granite]

so itll expand itself ? jsut need a code ?

[leaden ginkgo]

THANK YOU SO MUCH I FINALLY GOT EW LMAO..... Ex trial mounts here I come!

[barren granite]

• then hit Enter !!

[umbral dune]

It is an expansion so you need to enter the code at the right place

[leaden ginkgo]

apparently I can't use my local giftcard on SE but I can use it through paypal, kind dumb imo

[barren granite]

ya mounts are EX citing

aye paypal is dumb

[floral panther]

How do i play RDM? Do i spam ranged spells until i get enough mana to do melee combo, then repeat process?

[obsidian patio]

Pretty much, yes

[barren granite]

i ❤️ that name !!!

[obsidian patio]

Make sure you keep your black and white mana fairly close to each other or they’ll become too unbalanced and it becomes harder to generate the lower one

I think it’s when one is 25-30 points higher than the other

[floral panther]

oof

[narrow jay]

Also swap between your short and long casts as a general rule. Use your short casts to proc Dualcast, which makes your long casts instant.

So in single-target, Jolt first, then Verthunder/Veraero. In Aoe, reverse that; Verthunder2/Veraero2 into Scatter

[floral panther]

i don't find RDM fun to play outside of raids and trials do to how long the cast times for some of the range spells feel

[narrow jay]

thus Dualcast

[obsidian patio]

You’re never meant to cast Thunder/aero with their cast time

[faint flare]

Your casts are only 2.5s

[boreal storm]

You look at the cast time in the tool tip

And the ones that are 4+ seconds you dualcast

[faint flare]

You only hardcast thunder/Aero in prepull

could I pay for entry sub using paypal?

[boreal storm]

Yes, as you can use PayPal to buy crysta

[leaden ginkgo]

how do I buy crysta? thanks

[boreal storm]

Again mogstation

It’s one of the first things you see

[slate arrow]

*To be specific, it's under SE account management, which Mogstation is contained within

[leaden ginkgo]

once I got the crysta, how do I use it to pay for 30 entry sub? thanks

[floral panther]

Ahhh i see, i've been mistaking Scatter as a "Jolt 2"

[boreal storm]

^Crysta payment

[faint flare]

Scatter is aoe anyway

[narrow jay]

yeah you get Jolt 2 later as a better Jolt lol

[leaden ginkgo]

how much entry sub cost with crysta? thanks

[narrow jay]

but I agree that it's odd that they reversed the direction for AoE

[faint flare]

1 crystal is 1 cent

So

[boreal storm]

And the site tells you, are you actually looking at it

Like 1299 or whatever

[main yarrow]

Bozja memories of the dying aren't party wide drops are they? You can't for example pay someone to grind FATEs with you in the party while you sit there & do nothing, can you?

[faint flare]

They are

But only from mobd

Fates aren't party

Ad you need contribution to be ranked for rewards

That's why memory and cluster farm parties split up around the map

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/660527325158572044/892119913899106314/Bozjan_memories.png

As seen

[barren granite]

very very important

[main yarrow]

I miss the days when cluster/memory farms were going nonstop..

Made me first 100mil in Bozja doing that

I just wish they were poppin off like that for memories these days

[barren granite]

i havent even arrived in Bozja yewt

verwy vewy soon 😉

my brd wilol be dancing `round Bozja '

that spot will advance my bard goodly. Correct?

ok ok ... want to lvl my brd then .. so back to daily early mornin

does nastrond for dragoon not activate unless in a duty?

coming back to drg and using a dummy and it's just not activating lol

im lvl 77 and have done all quests up to 70

[faint flare]

You need to do.mirage dive twice

To get the two eyes for nastrond

[heavy wadi]

[grand light]

ohhh ty

its been a long minute lol

that sounds familiar now

[warped nest]

Read tooltip first

[faint flare]

It's your burst window

So 1min is standard

[warped nest]

Nastrond should be on the bottom of your action list

[remote lintel]

is steam being shitty with ff14 lately

[boreal storm]

In what way

[grand light]

i couldnt figure out which action gave the eyes so thats why i asked :)

[warped nest]

in we use Steam, is there anyway to xfer to reg ffxiv ? or are we stuck ?

you're locked to steam

If you’ve bought the game, you can’t swap anyway

[barren granite]

o_ok

On the upside, steam allows you to use regional pricing and the steam wallet to pay

no? i thought it did .. then have tio hit shft + Tab to dissapear it

[heavy wadi]

it's in ||alzadaal's||, go to akyaali and talk to matsya to get there

[gritty sand]

@heavy wadi Oo thank you!!

[heavy wadi]

at least, i think that's it, assuming that the internet is not lying to me

[barren granite]

i have to hit TAB + Shft to make it go away

[gritty sand]

i got to akyaali but Matsya isn’t here

[viscid lake]

Does the base rate of Protean crystal drops improve at all as you move to higher levels? This is going tot ake forever, even with the chain bonii.

[boreal storm]

!quest a brother’s grief

[zinc orbit]

Error!

Quest not found Kupo!

[strange coral]

That quest is MSQ. So do MSQ until you get it, or you already did it.

[obsidian patio]

Kinda, it’s based on the level of the enemies you kill in relation to you

[gritty sand]

@strange coral I just beat the last boss from msq

So I’m in post game now

[main yarrow]

Are Memories of The Dying guaranteed drops from FATEs?

[obsidian patio]

IIRC, best results come from chaining enemies 3-5 levels above you

If you get gold, yes

[main yarrow]

FATEs in Bozja*

[faint flare]

No

[obsidian patio]

Don’t think so, but very high drop rate with gold

[heavy wadi]

that quest is later in 6.1.

follow your msq tracker.

[gritty sand]

ohhhh @heavy wadi

I will keep doing the quests now

[dapper oyster]

How hard it is to get elemental armor?

[naive kraken]

have you done eureka at all yet? XD

[outer mural]

for perspective you need to

• Clear Anemos and Pagos to reach Pyros
• Progress your relic up to Pyros (I forget if it's start or end relic), which includes getting the requisite Anemos and Pagos crystals with the kettle
• Acquire 50 Logos actions from the MB or farming
• Buy the armor with Pyros crystals

it's pretty involved if you've not done Eureka and don't care for anything else besides the armor

[outer mural]

You get Protean crystals the fastest by converting Anemos crystals into them

which are acquired from NM completions

[dapper oyster]

Sounds like a very huge labour to do... I really need to find some good dragoon glamour without using elemental armor

[naive kraken]

personally i dont recommend it unless you bring in at least a light party if you haven't started it yet

[outer mural]

i use edenmorn, but edengate armor is also drippin

[dapper oyster]

Yeah i havent start it... Good thing you guys warned about it

[outer mural]

also eureka's a bit fun, i'd try it at least

if you like fate grinding and overworld stuff you may even find it fun

[naive kraken]

i preferred bozja though i still dont think i would call that fun XD

[dapper oyster]

Yeah... Perhaps not

I will try to look up on some eden stuff

Is the skallic dungeon soloable now?

[outer mural]

yes albeit a bit slow

[naive kraken]

though even now getting through bozja content is tough for CLL and Delubrum

[dapper oyster]

Ok i will also try skalla dungeon then, thanks

[spare marlin]

Hello, guys. I have a question, if I purchase the Starter Edition (19$), and then after, I want to upgrade to the Complete Edition (60$), do I still need to pay 60$? Wondering if there's discount and stuff if you bought the Starter Edition.

[naive kraken]

get the complete

there are zero discounts for having older expansions

[spare marlin]

I see, okay thanks

[jovial quarry]

Buying the Endwalker expansion standalone will add all of the expansions that the Starter does not have tbf. In the end it should be roughly the same price as buying the Complete Edition.

[naive kraken]

well yeah starter 20 endwalker 40

[spare marlin]

i see

[naive kraken]

equals the same as the complete

[spare marlin]

welp, time to wreck my wallet, thanks people

[naive kraken]

if you find any on sale and havent bought anything yet, that'd be about your only discount

[barren granite]

vewy vewy cwarefll

[naive kraken]

but the only one that'd probably discounted anytime soon might be the starter

[south tangle]

So I was thinking about playing black mage and then trying out astrologian when i get to heavensward. Is this a bad idea to switch from a soley DPS to a support. I was also thinking about trying to get scholar if I wanted to do support earlier, but it was way too tedious to level arcanist. Help

[naive kraken]

even then it probably wont be

[woven spoke]

question: Do I have to buy the DLC to finish the job after 52. I am stuck on level 52 and I cant find the next quest.

[faint flare]

You can start as Conjuer if you want to heal at the start

[narrow jay]

Nah, all classes are viable. The mindsets might be slightly different, but there's nothing "bad" about switching.

[faint flare]

Get to heavensward story

[jovial quarry]

You need to reach the start of the Heavensward expansion to continue with job quests.

[south tangle]

If i switched now it would be to scholar. Conurger doesn't appeal to me

[faint flare]

You're not in heavensward if you're not getting the next nob quests

[barren granite]

usually when is vewy importAnt

[narrow jay]

Also if you level Arcanist you effectively get two classes in one, since you get Scholar and Summoner both using the Arcanist experience.

[barren granite]

that bnot random ... when to heal is very important.

[south tangle]

i think ill probably stick with black mage for now. As complex as it can be, its less stressful at the start when you only have to worry about your own dps than the entire parties hp

[barren granite]

nono im trying to assist..

[south tangle]

as much as i love being a support role

[faint flare]

Your comment is barely helpful

[barren granite]

and when to heaL IS important.

Especially when written in dumb uwu speak

[barren granite]

ok

thanks

[heavy wadi]

#memes-and-shitposting is over there.

[narrow jay]

For what it's worth, you get a lot more resources as you go along, and a majority of the outgoing damage in content is either avoidable or anticipatable. So things only get stressful on you when people are screwing up.

[barren granite]

i type fast so its fat fingerd ... ill try better

im not meme'ing

[south tangle]

fair

[barren granite]

trying to assist.

point taken, thanks much

uwu .. new word for me. Thanks you.

[south tangle]

well, I think ive decided I can chill as black mage for awhile, atleast for the MSQ, and if i want to try support later on Ill grab astro in heavensward when I get there. If I REALLY want to try support sooner than heavensward, I'll backtrack and go dungeoning with scholar.

does that sound like a solid plan?

[barren granite]

ya dungeoning is wicked awesome.

[covert parcel]

Anyone know the music in Gangos?

[narrow jay]

Also, ahead of time, you still want to spend as much time as possible doing damage on Healer classes.

[south tangle]

Yeah

[narrow jay]

That'll get easier with levels as well, given the extra resources you get, so you can keep spamming your damage without breaking stride.

[obsidian patio]

“Gangos”

[narrow jay]

If you really wanna play Support, though......

........Bard?

not that I'm biased or anything

[south tangle]

I like bards, but dislike bow

bards in general, not Bard job

[limber hound]

Also BRD doesn't have much of the "song" aspect as much as still throwing arrows around

[narrow jay]

correct

[barren granite]

are very fun to explore w/ bard, cuz can move faster

[narrow jay]

Which is a shame, sure, that there's no "real" Ranger and no "real" Bard, at least as they're classically considered, but it's easily my favorite class.

[vagrant scaffold]

Wait, the NPCs can break the rules of Triple Triad? That's kinda BS

[south tangle]

Yeah, Im ok with bows and rangers in fantasy, but the crazy high fantasy enormous rpg bows are kinda meh

[narrow jay]

valid opin ion, however, the bowskills are nice + they are huge tho.

It's fun, yeah, and gets way more fun at higher levels as well.

Whats the use of a grindstone in GSM, does it just add more to your craftsmanship alongside your hammer?

Yeah it has a great stats boost

You need both main and off hand

[viscid lake]

Do timed fates like for the Hunt count from the start of the fate, or when it completes?

[boreal storm]

Wdym? It just wants you to kill the listed enemy

[viscid lake]

I mean the timer that keeps them from reappearing for awhile after.

Like Eureka's NMs can only happen every two hours.

[boreal storm]

They’re fate enemies so they respawn when the fate spawns

[heavy wadi]

are you talking about hunt marks?

i believe it's from when they spawn, not when they're killed.

how do i fill the last 3 runes on my anima relic quest

thats it?
i thought that you have to do something special since they don't light up

[boreal storm]

You don’t have enough light, so they’re not glowing

[fathom glacier]

[patent citrus]

yeh just spam them A9S

you'll need another 6 run of A9S probably

[fathom glacier]

im to low to solo a9s and i don't have friends who can do a9s

[boreal storm]

oki

ty

[narrow jay]

Bear in mind that your character level does not matter for anything except being able to accept the next quest. The vast majority of your stats comes with your gear, and your gear access is determined by your MSQ progress by and large. So leveling up faster won't make you more powerful, necessarily. Progressing the MSQ will.

[plush mason]

but it will unlock more skills no?

[heavy wadi]

do your job quests.

[narrow jay]

Ish. Your job quests will do that, and those are also locked behind each expansion, respectively, up to about level 60, with one additional skill locked behind level 70.

I would advise against doing so, as that's the toggle for moving skills around your hotbars.

If it really bugs you, however, you can hide it behind another hotbar. Just remember you'll have to move that hotbar if you want to unlock your bars in the future.

Captain requires you to level your squadron up high enough to gain access to the third Flagged Mission, which also requires you to complete five Command Missions with them.

[sage mist]

ahhhh maybe I haven't done 5 different command missions

[narrow jay]

Once you do those five and your squadron is level 50, you'll be able to see it.

[sage mist]

Perfect! Thanks a lot

[narrow jay]

You won't necessarily be able to complete it immediately due to needing to meet all three minimum stat requirements; that process usually involves overleveling them a bit.

[sage mist]

It looks like i've only done 4 lol

I hate command missions

[narrow jay]

Yeah, I just knocked some of them out when I had to do them for the ARR relic book step where you have to do some dungeons.

two birds one stone and what

[south tangle]

When do you think I should buy the full game? After I complete the AAR msq? Im not asking when I should consider buying the game (Im ofc going to buy it), but when does F2P loose it's worth

[heavy wadi]

i mean

you still have a whole other expansion to go through

[jade quartz]

Very much up to you

Free trial contains all of HW

[heavy wadi]

if the social restrictions are annoying you already then buy it

else ride it out till hw is done

[south tangle]

Hm

[jade quartz]

Some people like to milk it further and level several jobs to 60

Others upgrade to full game as soon as they hit 60 on one job so as not to “waste exp” (though this really isn’t a big deal)

[leaden ginkgo]

random question im just playing off the free trial rn leveling a lancer im pretty sure im gonna subscribe and buy the dlc's all i need to buy tho is endwalker right?

[jade quartz]

If it were me, I’d just upgrade once I finished all the free trial MSQ as Sen said

[solemn jewel]

You need complete edition

[jade quartz]

No, you need base game too

Which is starter edition, or also included in complete edition

[south tangle]

I feel like personally, if I've not lost interest by the end of AAR, I'll probably buy the game so I can experience the rest of it without any restrictions and get the full experience

[leaden ginkgo]

im playing on console- so i think i technically have the base game cuz my one account that didnt have it bought couldnt even open the game so i think i already have it idk

[jade quartz]

If you’re on free trial you do not have base game

[narrow jay]

If you want to buy the full game from the Free Trial, when you get there you want the Complete Edition. If you buy Endwalker alone, you will not get the base game.

[umbral dune]

Oh the post-arr is a bit tedious, but when you grab yourself out of it, HW gonna be awesome

[narrow jay]

The Starter edition and the Free Trial overlap on content—both give you access through Heavensward—but the Starter contains the actual license to play the game, and requires a subscription once you own it.

[jade quartz]

Note the free 30 days of sub that you get from buying the game are not the same as the freetrial

[narrow jay]

The Complete edition contains all of that.

[robust crow]

which omega raids are the fastest for finishing off my shb relic

i guess o5 is pretty good

[obsidian patio]

o1 and o3

o5 has the intermission which adds time

[leaden ginkgo]

oh okay huh

cuz all ik is that my main ps4 acc has the game so i downloaded it and i switched to my alt cuz i usually play all my mmo's and rpgs on that one

[vagrant scaffold]

Can anyone tell me why I just turned from a returner into a sprout?

[obsidian patio]

O1 is basically a glorified target dummy and O3 can potentially skip the intermission with really good damage

[umbral dune]

It overrides the status for a while so if you have not reached EW, you are reverted back to a sprout

[leaden ginkgo]

i thought there was a free download of the free trial version on ps4 but im assuming i have the base game theres probably a way to check so ima go look rn now

[vagrant scaffold]

I was a returner until a few minutes ago though haha

[jade quartz]

Returner status only lasts 72 hours

Is it just like a "hit shiny button" type of thing? Lol

[solemn jewel]

Mostly

Theres some gauge management

[leaden ginkgo]

🤮

[slate arrow]

It's not like PLD where you have two different burst phases but

it's significantly simpler

You only have one ogcd cooldown to worry about and it's on a 30 second CD, and the other one just lets you press fell cleave for free three times

otherwise it's keep your personal damage buff up which only needs to be done once every 30 seconds

I do have a complaint about the level 90 capstone skill (I hate having dedicated buttons for conditional skills) but it by far has the smalled hotbar size of all 4 tank jobs

[leaden ginkgo]

Does it have as many CDs as PLD? AKA like... 5? Lol

[slate arrow]

yes every tank has almost the same number of defensives

PLD technically has more but not really with intervention/shelltron (I consider them the same button since I believe they also share a cooldown)

[umbral dune]

And they cost 50 oath gauge, you cant spam those

[weak trail]

My friend cleared his cache, changed his browser, and went into incognito mode. He is still getting a i2501 error when he tries to redeem the complete edition game.

What else can he do?

[slate arrow]

use phone browser

phone?

[slate arrow]

yes your smartphone

[weak trail]

ok I told him to try it

[solemn jewel]

maybe a vpn is wortha try too

[weak trail]

It gives my friend the same error even on a phone

VPN?

hmm..

How much do positional affect damage?

[pure zenith]

quite a bit

[sage mist]

Is there a percentage or something?

[fossil trench]

Depends on the class

But a lot

[pure zenith]

you can see the potency on the ability

theres usually about 30-50 potency difference for normal and positional

ahhh gotcha. I didn't realize it says in the description

[obsidian patio]

positional bonuses are usually around 40-60 depending on the skill

[sage turret]

whats the best way to turn tomestones of poetics into gil?

[obsidian patio]

which for most is more than 10-20% of the skill's total damage

[obsidian patio]

if you want to do it the lazy way, just buy Cryptlurker accessories and turn them into GC seals to then turn into things like Glamour Prisms/Dispellers or Cordials

[sage turret]

makes sense

[turbid crescent]

Is there a FFXIV discord for housing and/or art commissions?

[obsidian patio]

Demicrystals might still be okay gil at the moment, but you'll have to compare things like poetics efficiency and how good/fast items sell for

[sage turret]

could also use cryptlurker to desynth and level that up

Thanks for reminding me ^^

[obsidian patio]

none that I know on-hand. in terms of art commissions, I recommend checking out twitter in general for people that offer commissions

#art channel might be good for finding artists to follow and see if they do commissions

[tiny crag]

Are mats you get from Free Company Airship voyages ONLY able to be gotten through that, or are there other ways?

[obsidian patio]

only from Airship/Submarine voyages, unless you buy from the marketboard

If you mean the items used to unlock the prototypes, those can't be sold on the marketboard but CAN be traded directly with other players.

[tiny crag]

I'm trying to get Scintillant and Platinum mats for example, but it says you can only get them through voyages. That's accurate, right?

[obsidian patio]

oh those are just normal materials

Scintillant is level 60 stuff, and Platinum is level 50

So you'll need mastercraft books 2 and 4 for those.

and the HW folklore books

[tiny crag]

Oh, okay, so long as I can acquire them without FC housing, that's great. I'll look up mastercraft books and folklore books now, thanks so much! 🙂

[obsidian patio]

Mastercraft 4 and folklore are just white scrips.

Mastercraft 2 is earned in Mor Dhona from Talan by crafting untradable HQ items from the Mastercraft 1 book

[tiny crag]

Oh! I was just about to ask where to find them because googling didn't get me very far. lol I'm sending this post to myself so I can do it tomorrow, thanks so much! 🙂

[bronze pebble]

Best materia for WHM?

[wind zephyr]

After finishing endwalker i wanna complete my gear, is the best option the new alliance raid?

[obsidian patio]

If you can spare the gil, you can also buy Classical gear from the marketboard

[wind zephyr]

Its only 580 right?

[obsidian patio]

most pieces, at least on Aether, hover around 50-60k per piece

you can upgrade it to 590 with tomestones of Aphorism

#questions-and-help message

[wind zephyr]

Owhh i see

If i wanna get bis its only from pandemonium right?

The savage one?

[obsidian patio]

Mix of Savage gear and upgraded Astronomy gear

with the ability to upgrade Astronomy gear from the weekly coin from Aglaia, sacks of nuts from hunts, and doing savage.

[bronze pebble]

Can I get some help with what materia I should be using in WHM?

[wind zephyr]

So to get those i need to get 580 from mb > upgrade and meld it > attempt pandemonium savage > meld gear right?

[obsidian patio]

yep

[boreal storm]

!faq balance

[wind zephyr]

Should i pentameld my 580 before going? Is it trolling if i just normal meld?

[obsidian patio]

just normal melds

pentamelds aren't worth at this point

[wind zephyr]

Owh so i should only pentameld the bis?

Or even the bis arent worthed?

[obsidian patio]

melding the 580/590 classical gear is still good since they're 100% chance of success on the open slots

[wind zephyr]

Then about the alliance raid, whats the purpose of doing it if ppl can get those gear from mb?

Just a broke option?

[obsidian patio]

possibly better secondary stats than their equivalent Augmented Classical piece

[wind zephyr]

But we still need to get 580 before going in that new alliance raid right?

[obsidian patio]

Aglaia only needs 565

[wind zephyr]

Owhh i see

Just one option is faster but slightly weaker, the other one is slower but slightly stronger

Thx for the help wynne!

[boreal storm]

Aglaia only gives left side gear anyway, no weapon either

[wind zephyr]

Ohh that makes sense too, thx for the info!

[narrow jay]

Is there a setting to increase/decrease the size of your Armoury Chest window specifically?

oh shit there is

Ctrl+Home

with the desired window selected

[green grail]

or just right click it at the top where you grab it and change window size

[steep egret]

Like every other window in the game

Even those which don't have an obvious topbar, like the triple triad board

Can be resized by just right clicking near the top of the window

[nova umbra]

when people say Titan AM for UwU, do they mean the Trigonometry plugin?

[green grail]

automarker so yeah, or i think cactbot has it too maybe

[sudden dock]

is there a way to tell if a plot up for sale is for fc or individual besides going to the placard? in the non-ishgard areas

[viscid lake]

So you get have to grind out 1300-2100 Protean crystals for the first bit of StB's relic? And there's no way to speed this up beyond being faster at killing or hitting stuff a level up from you own?

[steel wigeon]

you read it right

although you may want some people in your party in order to make the process faster

get a tank with full resist of an element, and a healer/DPS with full damage of an element
enjoy the shenanigans

[alpine shadow]

i think for crystals you want to farm fates?

rather than single mobs

[warm snow]

Both works

The fates drop big crystals you reduce to the proteans

They're also used to finish augmenting af armor

[hearty granite]

is it possible to disable the nameplate on yourself?

[umbral dune]

ward 1-18 are fc only, 19-24 is private only

[hearty granite]

nevermind I found it

[leaden lodge]

Is there any beneficial professions for me as a bard? or just go with what ever? 🙂

[umbral dune]

there is zero downside to become BRD from an archer perspective

if you ask about comparison between BRD and other dps, namely range category then they still viable in all level of content

[leaden lodge]

I mean uhm like Alchemist, armorer etc if there is any of these job that would be beneficial for me as a bard 🙂

[solemn jewel]

all, pretty much

[leaden lodge]

nice!

[solemn jewel]

sure you'd use carpenter to make a bow, but high chance is you need stuff from the other crafters

[narrow jay]

All crafters essentially feed into each other concurrently.

[solemn jewel]

so just level em all

[leaden lodge]

Haha thats nice, thanks!

[umbral dune]

unless this is endgame, the crafter dont do much

[autumn anvil]

Or start with a few, at the very least miner/botanist to gather your own stuff.

[leaden lodge]

will do!

[autumn anvil]

But what Imperator said is also true - crafting mostly just feeds into more crafting. 😄

[warm snow]

Outside of glamour(transmog) you won't be crafting any gear til endgame. That said, getting all crafters to 80 let's you repair your own shit which is a massive benefit

and has allowed me to be a smug raider in the current ultimate

[leaden lodge]

[icy vault]

Struggling to clear the central crossing on Castrum Meridianum

Tips?

[umbral dune]

are you the tank or the healer cus if you die to pull, better to pull less or using cd better

[icy vault]

Healer

[umbral dune]

what job?

[icy vault]

WHM

[umbral dune]

did you holy?

[icy vault]

Evangelically, yes

[umbral dune]

did the tank use the stance and cd?

[icy vault]

The tank is an AI

[autumn anvil]

This is with duty support I assume, yeah. 🙂

[stone marsh]

ah

[umbral dune]

pull less bro, cant wall to wall with AI

[steel wigeon]

except if you're a WAR

[stone marsh]

Duty support is a bit hit and miss because the dps do very little damage in aoe big pulls

[icy vault]

What does Pull mean

[steel wigeon]

pull = get the mobs on you

you pull them on you

grabbing the enmity

[icy vault]

Oh believe me I don't pull a damn thing, that's his job and I'm healing like there's no tomorrow

[autumn anvil]

Hm, I'd have to give that a try with duty support and poor gear to get a gauge.

[stone marsh]

so a pull can be one pack of enemies or multiple

[umbral dune]

it was the tank to aggro mob but you're playing with AI and they are very bad at doing so

[icy vault]

Unfortunately i run outta mana and then I die so

[stone marsh]

what is your gear item level?

have you done your lvl50 job quest?

[icy vault]

Rounded up to 60, courtesy of the quest last I checked

[solemn jewel]

So the tank takes mobs and then stops right? And u stop as well?

[icy vault]

And ye

[solemn jewel]

Are u using lucid dreaming etc

[icy vault]

Always

[umbral dune]

so most of the time, the mob attack you, the healer cus you healing and the more you heal, the more enmity you generate, exactly a vicious circle

[icy vault]

Or as often as allowed, really

[steel wigeon]

if you're on WHM, do you use stuff like medica II & regen?

...and not cure III

[stone marsh]

what skill(s) are you using to heal? Are you using cure or cure II

[icy vault]

. . .

Cure III

[steel wigeon]

we got the culprit

[solemn jewel]

Oh

[stone marsh]

ah

[solemn jewel]

[stone marsh]

the higher number is not always better

[autumn anvil]

Ah yeah, Cure III is very mana intensive.

[solemn jewel]

Cure 2 if u need to use cure
