i don't give a fuck if the paint huffing dancer doesn't press technical on CD in my normal raid

#

but I sure do care to line up raid buffs during ults

umbral dune
#

still, you gotta believe other use their buff at the right time and dont misalign

green grail
#

should probably look through logs and discuss with your group then, if people are out of range doing mechanics you'll want to move the burst window

barren granite
#

is the 3.2.0 the ver. of launcher ?

green grail
#

probably

#

game version is top left on the title screen

barren granite
#

ok i see it tech is 2022.3.25.0000 but they shorten it to 3.2.0 w/ the year silent .. interesting

#
  • maybe the size in parenthesis in kb ?
vital ruin
#

which tank has the highest personal dps rn?

#

gnb?

plucky jewel
#

why this thing cannot die?

boreal storm
#

Kill it on the button

umbral dune
#

lure it to the glowing platform, must die on it

plucky jewel
#

i see

boreal storm
fresh jasper
barren granite
#

then why is it in the versioning ?

boreal storm
#

Because that’s when it was added

barren granite
#

so that a date it was added ? 3.25.22 ?

boreal storm
#

Even the patch files are structured that way

royal skiff
#

Well I’m sad

#

I did not know farming would be this crazy

#

I might as well buy the glowing one

umbral dune
barren granite
#

i know it has nothing to do w/ player. but i see it so im curious is all

#

and the number in paranthesis is not kb ... cuz the pather is not 7+ gb large

umbral dune
#

that one can mean several thing, usually checksum, to make sure the file you have is exactly the same as when they release it, any modify would alter the number, thus invalidating the program
but let not dwell further into this as it's not something related to tech or game aspect

barren granite
#

ok cool thanks

jolly helm
#

is this what max settings is supposed to look like:

sturdy rose
#

Eh ... got some question about getting lost fragment. I had been trying to get into every crit engagement but they don't really reward lost fragment. how do i farm more of them ?

boreal storm
#

You get them from fates/CEs and killing non magitek enemies

sturdy rose
#

ohh

solemn jewel
jolly helm
#

Yes, but this is from Shadowbringers

#

and it looks like Minecraft

boreal storm
#

And you’re also zooming in real hard, that isn’t helping

solemn jewel
#

It's still the same engine

jolly helm
#

I did not zoom in

#

I just took a partial screen shot so no spoilers

modest igloo
jolly helm
#

clearly an "engine" limitiation kappa

modest igloo
#

7.0 will improve it at least

barren granite
#

ya some textures are very topographical looking

jolly helm
#

it's just a low res texture

#

they could create an optional high resolution texture pack like countless other games do

#

I was just not sure if it was an issue on my end or working as intended

barren granite
#

ya they need better (what is it) pixel smoothiong ?

jolly helm
#

they literally just need a high resolution texture, this is like 480p

barren granite
#

some things seem high res, but certain texture layers need to be adjusted better ...

jolly helm
#

most of the game looks fine, that texture looked like it failed to load or something

barren granite
#

well noone sane Thrinking

warm snow
#

You have to run lower quality textures for an mmo in the first place, add in the development cycle for arr and the fact that it was made for ps3

naw I'm doing Endwalker 😄 but sometimes I like a break from walking back and forth between NPCs lol

#

GET ON MY LEVEL

#

Have fun

wooden laurel
#

tbh I want to be like that eventually, I did start making progress after I finished ShB

warm snow
#

It was ShB that made me do that, as maxing all combat jobs in ShB gets you an amaro

wooden laurel
warm snow
#

And after 5.3 I NEEDED an amaro

#

!whoami

zinc orbitBOT
wooden laurel
#

it's the DoH/DoL jobs that kill me

#

pure money sink

#

but I guess they are supposed to be levelled in unison :D

warm snow
#

It is the most efficient way yes

#

I got distracted for ages in arr doing the daily crafting turn ins, til I got past level 50 and then they all needed hw mats

wooden laurel
#

tbf I really enjoyed levelling crafting jobs

#

may have to get back on it

warm snow
#

It's a lot more efficient to go all at once since all the shared gear

wooden laurel
#

so do you do it in tiers, like, get them all to 10, then to 20, then to 30, etc.?

warm snow
#

That would work, I think I did til the next job quest

#

At least til sb then job quests went bye bye

wooden laurel
warm snow
#

Hw job quests are nasty tho

wooden laurel
#

well, thanks for the advice 😄 I think I should be alright for now

warm snow
#

Np, no need to rush, have fun

Oh and punch that old man back into shape, he's gotten lazy af

wooden laurel

will do

Is there a place that lists the total stuff you need to get all relic weapons that you can farm beforehand?

#

I found a post for anima, now I’m lookin for the other expansions relic stuff

A lot of that stuff doesn't become buyable til you've progressed the relic enough

bitter herald

it is a difference but in normal content it's meh if you do

fresh jasper
#

Get used to it anyway

bitter herald
#

good thing to use if it's up but if you forget it isn't a big deal

frosty forge
#

So at what point (character level) could you expect to start teaming up with friends to do quests

twilit arch
#

you can start at lvl 1

frosty forge
#

Jesus

bitter herald
#

you can technically party up whenever, but the first instanced content you can do together is at level 15 with sastasha

twilit arch
#

provided you're in the same starting city

modest igloo
#

at least post msq is when you start doing more content that isnt solo focused

twilit arch
#

solo duties for the most part aren't that common in the msq

modest igloo
#

still, cant really "do" msq with other friends, at least not in a party sense. can do it side by side but ehhhh

twilit arch
#

you can

#

it just get a bit tedious at times because you have to leave party at times to do the solo duties

#

but ultimately can very much do the msq with each other in a party

modest igloo
#

bigger issue is if someone plays more than the other lol

#

but ye

#

no dedicated system for it

Question. I play on PlayStation but want to switch to PC and try it out.
Is there a free launcher for FFXIV on PC or do I have to buy the game again to switch to PC?

warm snow
#

Free trial locks you to that platform

bitter herald
#

you would need to buy the pc license in order to have your account on pc

warm snow
#

You can don't have to buy the full game on that platform

bitter herald
#

but you can use the free trial on pc to see how you like it and then decide later to make the buy

warm snow
#

If you have the game, just buy a pc license

Hello all, do I need to contact a mentor to get added to a novice network?

onyx mist
#

Do I look here to find someone to level with, or post elsewhere?

hot eagle
#

yes a menter needs to invite you to it, only need to use shout in any of the 3 starter cities and you should get one

patent storm
#

Is skybuilders ash log is available or not? One wiki says it is and another that it is not

hot eagle
modest igloo
#

grade 4 is just the basic version of it now

patent storm
#

So Ishgard restoration 1-3 recipes are no longer doable?

modest igloo
#

ye

#

not that it matters too much

#

was there to prevent players from farming for the next seasonal match before it came out for the crafting rankings

twilit arch
#

you can still do the expert recipes from previous stages

#

but the normal recipes, no, unless you buy the mats from the marketboard assuming there are any left

#

wouldn't recommend, both due to their likely expensiveness and the fact the recipes don't give as good exp as the grade 4 ones

leaden ginkgo
#

what does a leve mean? o.o

twilit arch
#

leves are basically repeatable quests that require an allowance to do

leaden ginkgo
#

for context im talking in terms of crafting..? I'm not really sure what this guide is asking me to do

twilit arch
#

there are various levemete npcs around the world that offer them

#

for crafting specifically, they're usually quests that ask you to craft x item and turn it into a particular npc

leaden ginkgo
#

I see. Wasn't really sure what it was asking me to do when it said to make walnut bread for leves but I guess that answers some questions

smoky ivy
#

why is gridania's ground speed for chocobo faster than when am in mor dhona mooglethink

faint flare
#

Have you got the speed up in mor dhona

smoky ivy
#

the wha, where

faint flare
#

The msq increases your mount speed as you complete it

smoky ivy
#

yes it does

faint flare
#

For that area

smoky ivy
#

oh its like that

#

that explains why only gridania

faint flare
#

Travel > mount speed to see the zones you have upgraded speed

queen vortex
#

hi i have a quick question

smoky ivy
faint flare
#

Only the first star

smoky ivy
#

oh oki

queen vortex
#

so i've been told by pretty much everyone that i shouldn't worry about levels and just do msq

faint flare
#

Second star is brought and is a waste of time getting

queen vortex
#

but now i've hit a point in the msq chain where the lv requirement is 49 and im only lv46

warped nest
#

Do dungeons

queen vortex
#

any dungeons or quests i can do to reach there?

warped nest
#

!faq contentunlock

faint flare
#

Daily levelling roulette then highest level dungeon spam

warped nest
#

Grab the level 40s optional dungeons

faint flare
#

Which would be aurum vale unlocked in vesper bay

queen vortex
#

awesome thnx

warped nest
#

Remember to do your job quests too

smoky ivy
#

do I unlock the tome related rewards and gear as soon as I hit lvl50? or is there some msq or sidequest requirement for it as well?

warped nest
#

When you hit lvl 50, doing certain optional activities do reward you with Poetic tomestone

smoky ivy
#

so all the 50 level daily roulletes?

#

gets unlocked

warped nest
#

But to start unlocking all the good sources of Poetic tomestone, you'd need to finish one of lvl 50 msq

smoky ivy
#

any examples of what specifically?

#

oh

#

good sources mooglethink

warped nest
#

I believe that if you participate in open world hunts (very uncommon in ARR map nowadays) as a lvl 50 job

#

You can earn poetics

#

Even without completing the msq mentioned above

#

!faq flying

zinc orbitBOT
#
Flying FAQ

'How can I unlock Flying?'

Flying is unlocked in A Realm Reborn zones simply by completing the level 50 story quest 'The Ultimate Weapon'.

Flying is further unlocked in the expansions through the collecting of a zone's Aether Currents, with every zone having ten 'green' Aether Currents found in the overworld and five 'yellow' Aether Currents obtained through the MSQ and side quests marked with a plus sign. Azys Lla is the only zone to not have any green Aether Currents. You must collect all Aether Currents in a zone to be able to fly.

'Where can I find the green Aether Currents?'

Upon obtaining the Story Quest 'Divine Intervention' you get the Aether Compass, which is a key item you can use to locate the nearest non-quest Aether Current. This can be set to your Hotbar for ease of use. Alternatively, you can use this website to show the location of all Aether Currents for a zone. http://heavenswhere.com/

smoky ivy
#

flying one ik

#

what about the daily roulletes

warped nest
#

That is also the quest that opens up the ARR endgame

smoky ivy
#

atleast I can get started on the tome farming early on?

#

from dailies

#

and get gear too ig from uh places that sell lvl50 gear

#

like mor dhona? shop

warped nest
#

You don't really have to focus that hard on farming if I have to be honest

#

Assuming you are still focusing on just one job

twilit arch
#

The only real ways to get poetics, before completing the main scenario quests that unlock castrum/prae, are A/S rank hunts and an optional side dungeon called wanderer's palace

#

its a lot easier to just continue with the msq and get to the end of ARR

#

before thinking about poetics

smoky ivy
#

am still only focusing BRD for now yes

warped nest
#

Completing your level 50 job quest will reward you with a coffer that contains item level 90 (power level) gear

twilit arch
#

Poetics are basically thrown at you, so there is no real reason to start farming them early on

warped nest
#

Which is good enough for the first half of ARR endgame

#

And what Kael said

smoky ivy
autumn anvil
#

Yep, and you'll get multiple full sets of accessories from the MSQ quests after that as well.

warped nest
#

If you grind hard, yes

#

But you don't really have to

twilit arch
#

yes, you can but there's no need to go out of your way to get a full set of ironworks

autumn anvil
#

So you could farm poetics and get a full set of 130 but you really shouldn't need to.

twilit arch
#

esp when you have msq to burn thru

#

as it gives you gear that is more than enough to continue

warped nest
#

The msq are giving them out generously

autumn anvil
#

Poetics are mainly a good way to get your alt jobs kitted out.

warped nest
#

Just so msq and you'd have enough for one job

smoky ivy
#

my msq is at like lvl23
and apparently the average item rating is lower than it should be compared to my lvl

warped nest
#

You need to focus on doing msq

smoky ivy
#

cause like average should be within 5 of bard level i think?

twilit arch
#

not for ARR

autumn anvil
#

Until you finish the ARR MSQ your item level will be low because accessories are pretty few and far between.

twilit arch
#

because the msq doesn't give you a lot of accessories and those are bringing your ilvl down

autumn anvil
#

But really, no need to worry about that until you get to 50 and complete ARR.

warped nest
#

Item level is relative power level of the gear

#

It has very thin relation to your job level

smoky ivy
#

oh

warped nest
#

For reference, the best gear in ARR is i130

smoky ivy
#

i did see those ones yes

warped nest
#

The number are fairly... Tame before you get to level 50 gears

smoky ivy
#

the stats are low? decent? if you are taking aurum vale required dmg as base?

twilit arch
#

don't worry about your stats

autumn anvil
#

Yep, item level makes a big jump when you get to 50 because you get access to 2 years worth of gear all of a sudden.

smoky ivy
twilit arch
#

so long as you are using the gear given to you from the msq

#

you're fine

smoky ivy
#

oki

twilit arch
#

like, carrying about stats is something that is end-game related

autumn anvil
#

And yeah, unless you're tanking stats really don't matter too much. Just keep your weapon somewhat up to date and you'll be fine.

warped nest
#

Completing your level 50 job quest will give you i90 armors

twilit arch
#

not while leveling

warped nest
#

That will hold up for a good while

limber sentinel
warped nest
#

Btw, if your msq is lvl 23 somehow

#

Focus on msq first

smoky ivy
#

guess that but damn do I not feel like sitting through story all in one go cause its not that gripping but I don't want to skip either

thin shard
#

was job artifacts always grindy to get if i skipped?

warped nest
#

Pick up another job and use it to do story?

#

Depending on which artifact weapons you refer to

#

ARR and HW is a hair easier if you are way over level

twilit arch
#

the only artifact gear that is relatively grindy to get is HW's, since it was not given via the job quests originally

autumn anvil
#

Take it a little bit at a time, do some MSQ then a dungeon or 2 on an alt job, then back to MSQ...

smoky ivy
warped nest
#

SB and ShB has their own thing, which can't be out level

smoky ivy
#

also been doing DoH classes on the side so as to get those high level recipes

#

since I don't have access to MB

twilit arch
#

it was tomestone gear, so its on centurio seals or you can buy the virtu set with crystal trophies from pvp since that set shared model but is higher quality textures

thin shard
warped nest
#

No

#

I believe some of the steps uses tradable materials

autumn anvil
warped nest
#

So those you can handle with gil

twilit arch
#

You're talking about the artifact armour yes?

warped nest
#

But the rest are hard work

twilit arch
#

and not the relic weapon

warped nest
#

And grind

warped nest
#

Then ignore what I said then, I was referring to weapons my bad

twilit arch
#

you can buy the lv45 set from the calamity salvager, but the recolour version requires you to do 3 ARR dungeons to get tokens to exchange for it

thin shard
#

im looking for the lvl 50 set for blm for now

autumn anvil
twilit arch
#

there's 2, technically, ARR stes

#

one that's given from the 45, with the chest being 50, and then one from the 50 questin a coffer

#

the original 45 +50 chest is from the calamity salvager

thin shard
twilit arch
#

the coffer set can be regotten via the antique tokens from snowcloak, qarn hard, sastasha hard

#

the only one thats a "grind" is the coffer set

thin shard
#

no gil can be used?

twilit arch
#

which is just recoloured version of the 45 set

steep egret
smoky ivy
twilit arch
#

the calamity salvager set is bought with gil

limber sentinel
thin shard
autumn anvil
#

You'll unlock those when you get further in the MSQ 😂

thin shard
#

ok

smoky ivy
#

oki lol

steep egret
#

EVERYTHING is locked behind msq in some way, so do it

twilit arch
#

calamity salvager is an npc

smoky ivy
#

but 2nd job hmm.. idk what to pick, am not that well versed in the game

#

and archer was recommended as a starter since its easy to get started on

#

and I only started playing like 1.5 weeks ago

steep egret
#

anything works, its really personal preference

#

nothing is bad

autumn anvil
#

When in doubt, I'd recommend a different role so you have some flexibility.

smoky ivy
#

oh

limber sentinel
#

@smoky ivy preferably pick one from the other groups, a tank or a healer

smoky ivy
#

yea that would be a good idea, will help with getting more gc seals as well

#

so thats something

autumn anvil
#

Arcanist or Marauder would be my main recommendations ignoring your personal preferences.

#

Marauder -> Warrior is a great entry level tank, and Arcanst gives you access to both Scholar and Summoner.

You never do level cap dungeons for xp ever

They're not designed for xp

it wasnt the best before?

they changed it?

No

so what i do after daily rouletess?

#

It's always been like that

spare pebble
#

i spam random +50 dungeons?

faint flare
#

Highest level LEVELLING dungeon

#

Not 50/60/70/80 stuff that gives poetics

sleek needle
#

Don't do lvling roulette after your daily one, enter highest lvl dun that isnt a cap one

narrow jay
#

Leveling dungeons are any dungeon not ending in zero.

faint flare
#

If it gives poetics it'd shit for xp

narrow jay
#

Dungeons ending in zero give basically nothing for experience because those dungeons were designed assuming the player was at level cap at the time, and they are not retroactively updated in any meaningful capacity.

spare pebble

u mean that 0?

so wich are the leveling dungs?

Hey guys, quick question. Would it be against ToS for me to write a program with Tesseract and use OCR and a mouse move macro to take inventory of my uhhh, inventory and look up their values using readily available resources? This would not modify the game or interact with the window, short of moving my cursor over objects.

#

If something like this already exists, please let me know so I can save myself some time writing this.

open coral
#

Technically, yes. All third-party programs are against TOS.

#

That said, if you did so and said nothing, nobody would be able to report you for it.

#

And there's also probably already an addon that does that in Dalamud.

peak pasture
#

The tool you're mentioning is an interaction framework that modifies and captures/injects commands. What I'm suggesting is a program that just takes screenshots of the text on screen and looks the data up on existing marketboard trackers

You ALWAYS start with Scrutiny and Collector's Focus followed by the Brazen action?

narrow jay
#

a) it is against tos; b) no one actually cares as long as you don't run your mouth about it; c) it's highly likely someone's already done it

frosty badger
#

Or is there a more efficient starter?

narrow jay
#

but don't let that stop you from trying to make something better

vast ferry
#

is it just me or is meditate useless on sam

faint flare
#

Just you

#

It'd a downtime ability

crystal bluff
#

You use it during downtime

peak pasture
narrow jay
#

You know how you come in going "is it just me or is [skill] useless on [class]" and then we all tell you you're wrong? =P

faint flare
#

You use it during downtime to generate resources

vast ferry
#

requires you to do abosuletly nothing for it's duration

narrow jay
#

Correct.

crystal bluff
#

Yes

faint flare
#

And you're not doing anything during Downtime

narrow jay
#

Situations when the you are in combat and the boss is untargetable.

#

i.e. "downtime" like people have said

faint flare
#

There's many downtime only skills

vast ferry
#

i thought downtime was moving between spawns and the boss is typically thorwing out attavks with it's untargetable

faint flare
#

It's anytime you can't hit something while in combat

narrow jay
#

Well, now you know more than you did before. =)

vast ferry
#

you can't move during meditate

faint flare
#

And?

vast ferry
#

doesn't most downtime have you miving

narrow jay
#

No.

faint flare
#

You're not doing anything in downtime

#

No

#

Even if it does you just preposition

vast ferry
#

you said downtime was when you can't hit anything

faint flare
#

Yes

modest igloo
#

p3s has some mechs during downtime but you just run to ur spot then meditate

faint flare
#

So it's free

umbral dune
#

those downtime skill dont require target

vast ferry
#

but lots of bosses throw out attacks while they're untargetable

narrow jay
#

Lots also do not

faint flare
#

And those that do are quickly dodge before channelling it

#

Even 1 or 2 ticks is free resources

#

Especially when it gives shoha stacks

modest igloo
#

phase transitions are part of downtime, but not every downtime is a phase transition

narrow jay
#

It does require a small modicum of intelligence to know whether or not you can sit still and use it. You can't just slap it and expect everything to be always fine.

#

Think of it as a reward for actually understanding the fight.

modest igloo
#

same kinda thing with third eye

#

hard to use at first but once you know the fight it'll be more useful

vast ferry
#

should i use mangetsu to get the sen satcks even when dealing with less than 3 enemies

#

oh wair gekko gives it to missed that

modest igloo
#

ye looks like SAM aoe is 3+

vast ferry
#

i was told all aoe are 3+

twilit arch
#

no

faint flare
#

The vast majority is

umbral dune
#

nope, healer at 2+

twilit arch
#

the general rule of thumb is 3+

#

but there are several that are 2+

crystal bluff
#

Isn't bard 2+ as well

faint flare
#

Tanks are 2+

#

Healers are 2+ until whm gets glare 3 then whm is 3+

modest igloo
#

i think dnc is 2?

#

is there even a 2 pack in 90 dungeons lol

vast ferry
#

should i be using my hissatsu right away or save a certain amount for dashing

narrow jay
#

In what situation.

vast ferry
#

as a general rule of thumb

faint flare
#

Generally you save kenki for burst and to use Sensei on cooldown

#

As with most gauge jobs

narrow jay
#

As a general rule of thumb, follow the guide in the Balance. Gap closing will almost always be possible if needed unless you've utterly drained yourself of kenki, and using your Hissatsu under raid buffs is always the priority.

#

However, you should also note that Ikishoten inside or just before burst is also the priority, which will give you twice what you need for either Hissatsu.

vast ferry
#

what levek is kenki i'm prob just being blind but i don't see it in my skill list

narrow jay
#

Trait.

faint flare
#

It's what your resource is killed

#

To use hissatsus

narrow jay
vast ferry
#

ah i see

modest igloo
#

i just tend to not overcap my kenki for most content until i learn the ins and outs of it

#

10 kenki is pretty easy to get since like every weaponskill give like 10 lol

#

outside of haka

vast ferry
#

so just hold for burst and senei but make sure not to overcap

faint flare
#

That's the rule of all gauge jobs in the game

modest igloo
#

you dont even need to hold for senei, iko gives you 50 and is 2 min cd

#

so it literally lines itself up

vast ferry
#

so then hold for burst don't overcap

narrow jay
#

Just like almost everything else.

#

"Almost" because Bard will overcap to hold for burst if they hit full Repertoire stacks before ending AP, due to the progressive nature of the gauge and how it's spent.

vast ferry
#

if i get 3 sen stacks should i use midare imedately

narrow jay
#

That's the basic rotation, yes.

#

Left branch, right branch, center branch (in whatever order), Midare.

vast ferry
#

what about the other 2 sens

narrow jay
#

What about them.

faint flare
#

You keep higabana up 100% of the time

#

Tenka is only aoe

vast ferry
#

should i use the other 2 sens

narrow jay
#

Have you read your Samurai job guide yet?

vast ferry
#

no

narrow jay
#

Do so.

#

Every question you're asking is answered there.

vast ferry
#

don't those guides only consider level 90

narrow jay
#

The principles remain the same.

faint flare
#

Samurai core basics don't change

narrow jay
#

"Basic rotation" does not change.

stable dirge
#

Higanbana is 1 Sen.
Midare is 3 Sens.

faint flare
#

Keep higabana up, cycle sens, spend kenki in burst

narrow jay
#

And also, the Higenbana/Tenka Goken/Midare Setsugekka skills are Iaijutsu

#

not Sen

#

Sen are your stickers.

stable dirge
#

2 Sens is Tenka and you only really use it for AoEing trash mobs.

What's the fastest way to get Memories of the Dying for ShB Relics nowadays..? Are cluster farming parties still even a thing in Bozja anymore, or is it just faster and more reliable to just go straight to HW FATE soloing..?

#

Seemed to me like ever since Zadnor released people just went there for the better exp rates to get jobs leveled quickly and Southern Front kinda died a bit..

limber hound
#

xp gain is actually the same between the two, but Zadnor gives waaay more mettle

#

Tag there right

frosty forge
#

im really dumb]

#

sorry

jovial quarry
#

Also go to the green circle on your map first before initiating

pseudo verge
#

do dots 'snapshot' damage buffs?
for example on gnb if I use sonic break and then no mercy right after, will the remaining ticks of sonic break be damage boosted still?

cosmic fern
#

Yes, buffs snapshot..

faint flare
#

Everything snapshots

umbral dune
#

not right after, before applying the dot

pure copper
#

if you have no mercy while you actually take sonic break on cd, it'll be boosted by NM the netire time

jovial quarry
#

Using your dot before your damage buff means the rest of the dot ticks won’t be buffed.

pure copper
#

thats why GNB burst is fitting all your dots and such in NM windows

limber hound
#

also about cluster farms: personally I find that cluster farms would be in BSF rather than Zadnor, because the area is smaller and more densely packed

pseudo verge

shrewd cradle
#

what's the easiest way to get white scrips with bad gear so I can buy good gear?

twilit arch
#

do weekly custom deliveries

#

and then craft whatever you can make easily to turn in

shrewd cradle
#

what's the name of those?

#

oh these?

umbral dune
#

find the one with weekly bonus

shrewd cradle
#

i don't need great gear for that? awesome

cosmic fern
#

Caveat: if you don't have all of them at Rank 5 yet, do the ones that aren't Rank 5.. You can't get Bonus requests on them until they're maxed, so maxing them all out means more rolls for Bonus requests in the future..

shrewd cradle
#

maybe I should just vendor the gear, isn't that expensive

cosmic fern
#

What level are your crafters..?

shrewd cradle
#

which also sucks, because all my crafters are at various stage

cosmic fern
#

And/or Gatherers..

shrewd cradle
#

and my gear is lv50 LOL

cosmic fern
#

Oof..

#

Yea, vendor gear should get you most of the way there..

shrewd cradle
#

crystarium ilv330?

robust magnet
#

Is there a setting to stop my character from turning around when I type sometimes? This is already off, but I think this is for something else anyway

umbral dune
#

you can buy lvl 70 scrip gear, universal set so all 8 DoH can use it

shrewd cradle
#

but i don't have any scrips

umbral dune
#

do the lvl 50-60 scrip receipt then

twilit arch
#

you can just do lower level recipes if you can't easily craft the 70/80 ones

#

it'll take longer sure, but its still getting scrips

shrewd cradle
#

dang

umbral dune
#

should only focus on one DoH first, he will farm scrip for all other

cosmic fern
#

You can also do the Crystarium Deliveries quests if you've not done them already.. Shouldn't be too hard, and it'll give you more than enough scrips to get the level 70 gear.. Downside is that they aren't repeatable, and they're grouped into having 2-3 DoH/L jobs per Facet, so you have to choose between dumping all the exp into just about a third of your jobs or spreading it out and taking longer to get something leveled enough to do the next quest in each Facet..

shrewd cradle
#

i can use the culinarian and alchemist to get white scrips

#

for gear for lower ones

cosmic fern
#

Yes..

shrewd cradle
#

so many options and paths, overwhelming.. haha

#

it's not as straight forward as combat

umbral dune
#

well, you dont leveling these job the normal way (i guess you just GC turn in) so gotta fill out the missing progress

cosmic fern
#

Luckily it gets a lot less overwhelming once you're done leveling..

shrewd cradle
#

yea turnins

#

dang

cosmic fern
#

All the crafting jobs just use one set (minus their job-specific tools), and you can just focus on the highest yield crafts for scrip farming..

umbral dune
#

you get higher efficient skill so it helps

anyone got a picture of current job sorted by CPM?

narrow jay
#

That sounds more like a question for the Google search bar honestly, since that's how I'd go about answering it.

barren granite
#

cpm ?

narrow jay
#

casts per minute; weird way of saying actions per minute since not every class uses casts

#

also an oddball metric to use to describe classes

barren granite
#

ya i get it tho, im lazy .. gimme the least APM / CPM there is 😄

warm snow
#

Iirc mnk and brd are topping apm

#

Or is it mnk and nin

boreal storm
#

Nin usually is at the top so probably the latter

narrow jay
#

Bard I think ends up somewhere north of middle, actually. We do have some heavy weaving periods but that tends to smooth out in the latter half of the two-minute cycle, and we tend to like to roll maybe a tenth of a second faster than Dragoon

barren granite
#

so as a drg, would i want a BRD in group to max out my DPS ? or is there another class thats is better for that ?

narrow jay
#

Strictly from a personal DPS standpoint, Dancer is probably stronger. But Ninja is a higher partner priority. Also none of this matters except for parse parties.

crystal bluff
#

A drg would probably not give a bard dragons sight unless it was 4 man content anyways

barren granite
#

ya i usually hit DNC w/ that

#

or NIN

narrow jay
#

The target of Dragon Sight will not affect Dragoon's personal output at all, which was the question. Especially now that it's changed to not even actually need a partner.

#

rDPS will be affected, of course, but that's a different discussion.

crystal bluff
#

Oh I read the original question wrong
Disregard

And if there's a dnc you're low on the pecking order

No

Thx

Very similar with Ast cards as well, except that DRK is up there with NIN depending on the window.

#

and no, that was not a typo, that K was intentional

crystal bluff
#

DRK burst phase do be stronk

narrow jay
#

DRK opener is terrifying.

barren granite
#
  • can tank 🤔
narrow jay
#

Anyway, as you can see Dragoon is very low on the general priorities list. It only jumps up to priority (for AST) if it's in a 1 or 5 minute window and it's got potions up, otherwise Samurai still beats it out. It's dead last for the melee in all other burst windows.

narrow jay
#

So tbh the best way to maximise your personal DPS output is simply to play better, as meme as that sounds.

barren granite
#

for bursts yes, but the longer a fight goes, seems DRG does avg out pretty decent .. or amiwrong ?

As long as you’re good at the job

whenever i try to install the game it doesn't let me choose the folder and forces me to download in documents, wich i cannot do

#

how to fix?

barren granite
#

Steam or non ?

oh thanks didn't knew there was for steam

#

thanks

devout crystal
#

Between Ninja and DRG, which job is more visually satisfying?

remote lintel
#

go look at the animations

oak lily
#

do you like dragons or bunny's with black mage hats

pure zenith
#

thats tough on one hand you get pole dancing and dragons
and ninja you get frog

crystal bluff
#

Look at the endwalker job animations video an decide for yourself

devout crystal
#

Which one is easier to master?

remote lintel
#

subjective

#

nin has a busier burst

#

but i find it pretty braindead

narrow jay
#

Yeah, neither of those questions has an objective answer, lol.

remote lintel
#

i havent played drg at 90 but im pretty sure its just flipping between 2 combos

narrow jay
#

It is, yes, and then doing your dragoon jumpy weaving every minute

devout crystal
#

So i guess SAM is pretty unique compared to other melee?

warm snow
#

Drg basically hasn't changed from 80 to 90

remote lintel
#

every melee is unique

boreal storm
#

Define unique

narrow jay
#

All melee are "unique" compared to each other melee.

remote lintel
#

they all play differently

warm snow
#

They're all different

narrow jay
#

And all melee are functionally identical in that you have a set rotation that you follow through a 2 minute cycle.

#

So just mess around with them and find out which one(s) you personally enjoy.

devout crystal
#

Ok

narrow jay
#

There's no wrong answer, and there's no single answer either because you can have all of them on one character.

warm snow
#

Unless you're obsessed with playing "the best" tm job

#

Cuz that's not how the game is designed

narrow jay
#

in which case you should play Dancer

devout crystal
#

No i am just looking for some cool and not too braindead.

boreal storm
#

That’s very subjective

tender widget
#

you should play as a botanist

remote lintel
#

i mean what you think is braindead is gonna be different than what other people think is braindead

tender widget
#

really awesome level 90 rotation

regal pawn
#

All jobs are braindead sleepyaissa

#

because all of their rotations are easily doable in 100% uptime fight

narrow jay
#

Everything becomes "braindead" if you have enough practice at it. I find the term a useless descriptor in general because everything requires some knowledge and practice, albeit in varying amounts—and because people who are actually in a vegetative state can't fucking play the game in the first place.

barren granite
#

yes we stare @ a screen and hit buttons ... epidemy of brain death :>

remote lintel
#

tbh the only melee i would say is braindead upon pickup is reaper

devout crystal
#

I agreed.

remote lintel
#

straightforward, low apm and not much weaving

tender widget
#

drg is "easy" like every other job but because I don't care to change button layouts and use ctrl, shift, and alt with keys 1-0 im making it harder for myself because I have to destroy my fingers getting the right combination

patent citrus
#

this one is incorrect?

regal pawn
#

seems out-dated cause no 7.0 jobs

#

but it's "accurate"

devout crystal
#

My first 90 character is reaper. I loved it but it kinda gets boring fast.

regal pawn
#

you unlock their gimmick

#

fuck around

#

and it just gets boring

#

Play everything and switch it up CinnaShrug

boreal storm
#

Which is why you play other jobs

remote lintel

drk is always fun smadge

you level your first job up to level 90, then proceed to spend the rest of your time in game becoming a triple triad champion

#

So my desynth skill is separate than crafting level, but I need level 30 crafter to desynth that kind of item?

patent citrus
#

yeah, either climb up the duty's difficulty you are running or try another class

remote lintel
#

yes del

amber holly
#

and it seems important to get desynth skills up right

my brain imploded on myself and somehow I thought that stormblood was 7.0

#

I think its the association with 2017

patent citrus

that's 6.0 cpm

regal pawn
patent citrus
#

oh you are right,

#

I saw someone posted here in Jan, I assume it's 6.0 🤦‍♂️

#

so it's this one

barren granite
#

so DRG has 40 CPM ? i dont get it

devout crystal
#

Ninja is high cpm because of the mudra right?

faint flare
#

Yes

#

And huton

patent citrus
#

yeah NIN and MCH are up there, but just my opinion they are pretty simple

barren granite
#

i dont do 40 actions per min.

patent citrus

BRD/SAM/GNB prob a bit tricky
