[storm sapphire]

What’s the proper way to pull in a dungeon as pld, magic first or melee first?

[modest igloo]

i tend to do trash with shield lob and bosses with holy spirit

[storm sapphire]

I mean once you gottem all grouped up, you slice em or holy circle em?

[slate arrow]

Magic does more up front burst damage and since you don't have dot uptime in most dungeon pulls you may as well

[modest igloo]

!action holy circle

[zinc orbit]

**Holy Circle** : lvl 72 PLD (2000 MP) (2.5 second cooldown)(1.5 second base cast time)

Deals unaspected damage with a potency of 130 to all nearby enemies.
Requiescat Potency: 300
Additional Effect: Restores own HP
Cure Potency: 400

[modest igloo]

holy cirlce twice does less than standerd aoe combo

[upper cove]

I typically use the magic phase first. Mobs die before or midway through your physical phase with a decent/average party.

[modest igloo]

ye

[upper cove]

Requi also comes up in time for the next pack unless your party is really pumping dps

[storm sapphire]

Ain’t holy circle 1000mp?

[slate arrow]

!action requiescat

[zinc orbit]

**Requiescat** : lvl 68 PLD (60.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Deals unaspected damage with a potency of 400.
Additional Effect: Grants 5 stacks of Requiescat
Requiescat Effect: Increases the potency of Holy Spirit and Holy Circle and spells will require no cast time
Duration: 30s
Additional Effect: Grants Blade of Faith Ready when the effect of Requiescat ends
Duration: 30s

※Confiteor changes to Blade of Faith while under the effect of Blade of Faith Ready.

I looked through my achievement tab and I saw this. Aren't I supposed to get a mount, not a title from that?

[slate arrow]

I believe you buy the mount from the Achievement Vendor, once you get the title?

[gritty oracle]

ah

[storm sapphire]

Its a quest iirc

[twilit arch]

yea, its a quest at the gold saucer

[hushed zealot]

What Is a Parse Run?

[green grail]

optimized kill of a boss, usually savage but extremes sometimes too, with the goal of getting a high percentile parse on fflogs

[warm snow]

A red flag /s

[frosty forge]

I know this is probably going to be dumb, but Im nearly certain i did the first botanist guild quest, but im level 40 and i still havent gotten any more to unlock

[warm snow]

You need to be botanist to check

And then it'll appear on your msq tracker while you're a botanisy

Then again some of the arr job quests have specific story checkpoints but idk, don't remember

[frosty forge]

My character page says botanist 1

[warm snow]

Your botanist is level 1

Level botanist

[wind zephyr]

does hunts and fates increase spirit bond?

[frosty forge]

so what do i do next

[warm snow]

All jobs have separate levels

[warm snow]

Botanist tasks, leves, gathering etc

[warm snow]

If they're high enough level although I don't think so on hunts

[wind zephyr]

ok

thx for the info

[vast ferry]

what is that stb dungeon that people use to level blu called

[frosty forge]

I've never seen anything to "gather"

[warm snow]

Imaginary

[warm snow]

Change to botanist, equip your hatchet, and do your first job quest

[warm snow]

Blu doesn't level in dungeons

You do overworld grind instead

[vast ferry]

i heard there was something that lets a blu level to 70 in 2 hours if they get a high level player to help them

[warm snow]

That's not a dungeon

[vast ferry]

and that it's unlocked in stb

[twilit arch]

That's being power leveled in the open world

[warm snow]

You go to the beach in kholisia

Tag enemies and get a big Boi to do the actual kill

[twilit arch]

by going to either kholusia beach or the area near mord sorq in amh araeng

tagging lvl 70 mobs and having the 90 kill them

[vast ferry]

so i need to reach shb then

[twilit arch]

I mean you can do it in stormblood, going to the lochs

[warm snow]

You can also just kill shit in ShB zones

And solo it

[twilit arch]

The principle doesnt change

[vast ferry]

not from level 17

[twilit arch]

find high lvl mobs that are relatively closely packed, you tag and the 90 murders

[warm snow]

Kill shit closer to your level then, work your way up

[vast ferry]

but that'll take forever

[warm snow]

No it wont

[gritty sky]

i'm stuck with an NA sub code if anyone interested in buying it half price

[warm snow]

Blu gets a massive multiplier on overworld mobs

[warm snow]

Definitely not that kind of questions and help channel

[vast ferry]

i went at it for like an hour while getting spells in a party and only got 4 levels

thats way slower

[gritty sky]

mb

[flint lance]

how do i start the up in arms arr quest?

[warm snow]

Oh jesus

That's arr relics

You progress your arr relic

Which requires high levels of self loathing

[twilit arch]

buy 3 thavnairian mists from the poetics vendor in mor dhona and then chuck the mist+ weapon into the forge behind drake in north shroud

[warm snow]

!faq zodiac

[zinc orbit]

Guide to the Zodiac Relic

Zodiac Relic Guide

[flint lance]

i cant see it after finishing the first stage

[warm snow]

That's how it works

[twilit arch]

the 2nd step has no "quest"

[warm snow]

Its just an unlock

Not a real quest

[twilit arch]

you need to do what i said

to get zenith

and then you'll be able to pick up "up in arms"

[vast ferry]

so yeah way slower if i ran a tank or healer in dungeons i'd get more levels at that point

[warm snow]

K

Do what you want

[faint flare]

You have a 10x multiplier on overworld mobs

[vast ferry]

which give like no xp

[faint flare]

If you have a friend just go to the highest level area you can

You'll be 70 within an hour or 2

[warm snow]

And if there's a massive level discrepancy in your party you don't get exp

You're not supposed to have your helper in your party

[storm sapphire]

The trick is to not have em in your party

You pull by throwing up fish on the enemy and have your friend (not in your party) kill it

[vast ferry]

whats the skill called

[faint flare]

Flying sardine is the popular one for tagging

[hushed zealot]

But any spell works

YOu just have to hit first

[vast ferry]

i was just gunna sleep them with acord bomb so they don't 1 shot me

[faint flare]

Any works but flying sardine is just instant cast

[wet cradle]

how can I copy character settings from another character?

[hushed zealot]

If you stand from far off
Hit them once
Then your friend comes in to smack em
You won't get hit

[faint flare]

That's why your help should be a tank or healer

So they can shield yo

[hushed zealot]

If you stand next to them
You are more likely to get 1 shot

[faint flare]

Or nuke it and take aggro before it hits you

Plus if you die they can just raise you and just continue

[storm sapphire]

If you don’t have access to shb, there are add packs in the lochs that blu’s used to use for powerleveling

[faint flare]

Any high level area works, just fastest at khlosuia cause it's dense with Lv70 mobs which is the fastest

[umbral dune]

are you playing on PC?

[wet cradle]

yes and I just did it

thanks 🙂

[frosty badger]

is it possible to unlock new subaquatic sectors by deploying submarine on multi-destination route or does it have to be a singe destination?

[mental ruin]

https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Hallo_Halatali i want to unlock this dungeon but nedrick wont let me what am i missing? i did all msq's so i should be good no?

[umbral dune]

are you level 20 though?, this blue quest only require level to unlock

[mental ruin]

this is why i ask bc im max lvl and all msq done but i dont have the option to accept quest

[warm snow]

You sure you don't already have it?

[twilit arch]

are you certain you either 1. have it in your quest journal already or 2. unlocked it

the dungeon

[warm snow]

My dude

[mental ruin]

i will come back if i struggle with the hard one

[umbral dune]

you cant, believe me

[steep egret]

lol yea, hard dungeons aren't hard

they're just different

[warm snow]

Hard halatali is fun

[steep egret]

Hard doesn't mean much

[mental ruin]

i try to unlock every dungeon in the game and it gets confusing with all the travel

[warm snow]

They stop using hard after 3.0

[queen patio]

What resets? What do I need to spend or lose?

[warm snow]

Well. Mostly

[modest igloo]

nothing

[warm snow]

Weekly limited tome

You get 450 a week

[steep egret]

the one that says "this week"

[faint flare]

Weekly cap of astrometry

[steep egret]

thats all

and you only get those at level 90

[queen patio]

o

[steep egret]

you can only earn 450 a week

the other numbers, are the cap of the amount you can carry, they dont reset

[queen patio]

Phew

[umbral dune]

they should have said weekly limit reset, can't believe people still think they lose something cus of that wording

[queen patio]

I've been so worried, I asked in main and no one was very speficic

[warm snow]

Youve 0 aphorisms which says to me that you can't even get the astronomy yet

So you're probably fine

[steep egret]

ff14 has very little to Zero FOMO, so dont sweat it

[warm snow]

Especially compared to... The other game

[mental ruin]

i have to clear halatali once to unlock the hard version?

[twilit arch]

yes

[mental ruin]

this explains everything 😄

[warm snow]

That's the case for all 'hard' dungeons

[steep egret]

usually because there is story reasons, as to why you've gone back to the dungeon

[nova adder]

Can i join parties at level 15 or am i waaay to low

[faint flare]

There's no restrictions for partying

[steep egret]

i believe you can join at any level

[faint flare]

Other than the leader has to own the game

To Invite people

[nova adder]

Oh great, hopefully i can play with some of you lot at dome point.

Gsts a little boring by myself

Excuse the typos

[steep egret]

the more you progress the MSQ, the more content becomes available
basically everything is locked behind MSQ, there are a bunch of side activities, areas, procedurally generated dungeons, etc, you can play with others
there are massive zones which you can find others to team up with randomly

[sick light]

Uh, can someone give me a time stamp (those discord things that automatically convert to your timezones) for when the current housing lottery cycle will end?

I am really bad with timezones convertions

[still gate]

it ends with daily reset tomorrow

so a little over 25hrs

idk how to do the timestamp bit though

[jade quartz]

<t:1654009200:R>

@sick light mouse over that and I think it should show in your local time?

[still gate]

works here

[sick light]

Oooh thanks!

So around 26 more hours

i ask because i was told in the past that there was one particular minion in the gold shop that sells for millions

[jade quartz]

just these four items, really

check your current world prices for them, because the universalis app data displayed above isn't 100% up to date at all times

[boreal storm]

There aren’t any minions from gold certificates are there? Just the mounts

[jade quartz]

Just mounts yeah

[acoustic moth]

Hello, i got a question. I have been stupid enough to throw away my Blank Invitation for The Ceremony of Eternal Bonding. Is there a way to get it back? Does i have to buy again ?

[jade quartz]

I believe that basically means you've canceled your eternal bonding date and need to reschedule

[green grail]

i think you can pick it up from one of the npcs at the sanctum? maybe?

[jade quartz]

Try talking to Etoinelle at the Sanctum again with your partner online with you

and see if you can pick a date again

[acoustic moth]

OK, I will try that.

Thanks

[main ether]

hey will paying to transfer to a new home world cause me to lose progress?

No

Phew, thank you!

Does anyone know if there is a checklist of things that should be done before moving on to Heavensward?

outside of MSQ?

[leaden ginkgo]

Nothing

Only ARR had that

[faint flare]

Only mandatory things are hard mode primals and crystal tower

[main ether]

I did the coils raid last night, and thought I only found it by chance and the story elements I thought were pretty huge

I worry about missing something big like that

[faint flare]

You can't miss content

It's always going to be there

[leaden ginkgo]

Yes the coils are pretty much like that but also way too hard for synced so it's not mandatory

[faint flare]

Makes no real difference doing it now or later

[leaden ginkgo]

Yes

[faint flare]

They're nice for levelling alts

Quick xp

[sullen geode]

hey there
i dont know where else to ask some experts so i'll try my luck here.

i heard the free trial of ffxiv goes until lv 60 and the first 2 expansions

however when i try to log in my launcher on steam it says that i either dont have a license or my sub ran out.
but i never subbed, and im using the correct license?

i played the free trial once but i dont remember when until lv 16 and i wanted to hop on again since it doesnt have a time limit
but my mogry station says it ran out on 13th october 2020 but i never subbed or anything? can i just not play anymore or did i miss anything? (sorry that the screenshots are in german)

[faint flare]

Usually have mounts for rewards later in ranks

[leaden ginkgo]

They also give you access to some stuffs you can buy in bulk

[main ether]

did you download the trial version of the game?

[faint flare]

You own the game

You can't go back to trial

[sullen geode]

how do i own it

when i never payed?

[faint flare]

It says right there

[main ether]

is it wort

[faint flare]

You own it

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/287679207432257538/980840916128514129/unknown.png

This tells you what you own

[main ether]

is it worth doing the ARR beast quests still?

[sullen geode]

i thought that was the trial version

[leaden ginkgo]

Worth is subjective

For me it was

[faint flare]

It's the same content as trial but it's actual ownership and removes trial restrictions

[leaden ginkgo]

Because now we can vendor items from the beast tribes to build submarines and airships

[faint flare]

You, at some point, brought or claimed the starter edition (probably from twitch prime reward)

Thus now own the starter edition

And ineligible for trial on that account

[sullen geode]

Ok so I just cleared the latest alliance raid and it now says 2/3 for weekly rewards, will that last reward be the amor piece I rolled for and get or does it automatically fill the next time I enter the alliance?

It's the gear piece you have yet to get

The other 2 items are the weekly coin and materia cluster that's automatically given

[lofty yew]

its kind of personal so id rather not

Only your desynth level does

No orango texto = no bonus

Is there a way to go back and read text from a quest I completed?

[remote lintel]

the gamerescape wiki probably

[frosty forge]

Can’t do it in game?

[remote lintel]

not for dialogue boxes

[faint flare]

In the event tab

If you didn't filter it out

[jovial quarry]

If it was recently within your current session, it appears in your event tab in the chat log

Otherwise yeah you’ll have to look up a wiki or something

[boreal storm]

Also if it’s in NG+ you can just redo the quest later

[fresh cairn]

oh my lord did housing bid end like two hours ago

[boreal storm]

is there some kind of resource to find aether crystals? since all websites/guides seem to be very inaccurate

[boreal storm]

Use your compass, do

[lyric pawn]

If I wanted to play on PS5, I would need to get Starter + Endwalker, correct?

[remote lintel]

yes or complete

theyre the same thing

[urban grotto]

Do we know what's coming in 6.15?

[narrow surge]

what is "my collection"

[remote lintel]

you would also need to buy endwalker on pc when you get to it

[boreal storm]

Duty > collection

[narrow jay]

It's a tab in your menu bars.

[lyric pawn]

thanks for your help!

[narrow jay]

The Aether Compass is no longer a game item because a) it doesn't need to be, it makes more sense as a skill; b) people kept throwing it away

[narrow surge]

Alright thanks : )

Those are static as well

is there turn ins for gatherers in ishgard? i only see crafters, no extra exp for gatherers?

!faq melding

[zinc orbit]

Materia & Melding FAQ

How do I unlock melding?

Complete Forging the Spirit (materia extract/npc melding) and Waking the Spirit (player melding) in Central Thanalan.

How can I get my gear melded?

To meld visible Materia slots a NPC melder in any major city will do (marked with a Blue Materia icon on the map). To overmeld gear you'll need to request another player to meld your gear or to do it yourself.

Why can't I meld this Materia to my stuff?

Every Tier of Materia has a minimum item level requirement that gear must meet to allow melding of that Tier. Tier 7 and 8 Materia require an item level of 420 while Tiers 9 and 10 require an item level of 560.

Why is my meld giving +0 stats?

Every item has a maximum amount of stats that can be given through melding and the natural stats found on the gear. This can be seen at the bottom of the Materia Melding menu, as seen in the picture below.

The secondary stat with a higher number is already at the cap and cannot be further melded.

[icy vault]

where do I buy furniture?

[outer mural]

marketboard, from the apartment lobby, or the outside vendor in each ward

most conveniently you can purchase a junkmonger permit and then put it down and it sells t he same furniture as the latter 2 options i mentioned

most fancy furniture is on the marketboard or crafted though

[icy vault]

where do you purchase a junkmonger permit?

[outer mural]

ironically from the latter 2 merchants in the apartment lobby or outside of each ward

you can locate them with the map, i think there's a bag icon

[icy vault]

nice, ty!

[outer mural]

err, clarification, it may be the 'material supplier' as well

i would buy both to be safe

they offer different things you may want

[icy vault]

I feel as though I'm missing where the "Housing" button or whatever is

[vast ferry]

Abiut what hp threshold shoukd I use bolide at

[agile laurel]

whichever

there isn't one

[vast ferry]

Bolide drops you to 1 hp tho isn’t it best to use it when yiur as low as you can get without dying

[remote lintel]

use it at least 2-3 seconds before you think you'll die

[outer mural]

yeah Superbolide responsiveness has been notorious

it's not great

Question all my casters are 70 or higher should I dump all my caster exclusive gear now

[outer mural]

below 70 yes

unless you want it explicitly for glam

[vast ferry]

My lowest level healer is 59 and I’m pretty sure gear becomes role exclusive after 50

[faint flare]

Toss it if you have no use for it or keep for glam

[outer mural]

that's correct

[icy vault]

pls where is the housing menu

[faint flare]

Social > housing

[icy vault]

you can also bind it for easy access

you could also have just clicked all the menus lol

[sacred apex]

Okay so I finally have an ILV of 590🎉 before attempting ||Endsinger|| Extreme, should I add materia to all my gear?

[remote lintel]

yes

you should always have materia and food for endgame content

even if the dps check isnt that tight

[sacred apex]

Well I was just wondering since I’m a warrior

[remote lintel]

doesnt matter what class you are

[faint flare]

It's free damage to meld

[outer mural]

materia's a 4% damage boost on average versus not melded

it's free damage and you'd b e griefing not engaging with it

[faint flare]

When doing high end content*

[outer mural]

ye, in places where DPS matters

[autumn anvil]

Even just adding materia VIII will be a decent boost but honestly X's shouldn't cost much.

[remote lintel]

crits do

[autumn anvil]

Now overmelding probably isn't worth it for most people.

[outer mural]

yeah definitely not

especially now of all times

[autumn anvil]

But at least don't leave your slots empty. Remember that VIIIs and lower can be safely retrieved so there's nothing to lose.

(unless you forget to)

[vocal venture]

EW has no beast tribes yet right? elephant people coming soon? do we know if they are going to be combat or doh/dol, im in the process of leveling so more combat experience would be niiice

[wraith vault]

does buying the game provide you bonus exp in some way?

[outer mural]

next 1 or 2patches, we don't know for sure which they'll be

[faint flare]

No

[outer mural]

there's always at least 1 combat one

[faint flare]

6.15 has the combat tribe

The elephants

[vocal venture]

yup, crafters seem to be always last, at least from the 2 past expansions i think

[outer mural]

oh so they were confirmed to be combat

[faint flare]

It's always combat first

[vocal venture]

from where do all stories converge if you start at different cities?

[remote lintel]

[outer mural]

it's when you first go to the waking sands

The X envoy quest

[jovial quarry]

The story will give you a tour of the other starting cities by airship. Once you finish that, all three starting stories converge and it’s the same from there onward.

[sick flint]

cant you backpaddle on legacy movement?

[outer mural]

yes

you just press S to walk backwards immediately

[vast ferry]

Is it just me but is dps punished the least for having less skilled party members when compared to other roles

[outer mural]

it depends on the content

in casual content where DPS doesn't matter technically since there's no enrage

yeah sure

but no one wants a 20 minute trial

[warm snow]

This is more #general-discussion regardless

Sir, this is a help desk

[remote lintel]

i mean tbh i think dps is the most punished for having less skilled party members

if you suck at your rotation you're much more likely to drag down the whole party's dps and not hit the check

and if you fuck up mechanics you're not tanky enough to take it and you'll die

which also fucks up party dps and makes you less likely to pass checks

[wispy mesa]

So do I need a subscription to play the game?

[faint flare]

Yes

[wispy mesa]

Is it worth it?

[vast hinge]

uh... depends

[wispy mesa]

And how much per month

[vast hinge]

usually healer is punished the most

if your group is really bad

[faint flare]

I mean the game has 5 rpgs worth of content

[warm snow]

!faq subprice

[zinc orbit]

I mean I already paid $60 for the game

And constantly updated

[wispy mesa]

Now I need a subscription to play the game I payed for?

[faint flare]

It's a sub based game yes

[warm snow]

For constant update, online servers, multiplatform developments

Etc etc etc

[wispy mesa]

Do Yk how much the subscription is?

[warm snow]

I usually just pay a month at a time

'I can quit whenever I want'

[remote lintel]

subscription based mmos are nothing new

[wispy mesa]

True but in other mmo’s it’s optional to be a sub

[warm snow]

And you bought the game instead of playing the free trial

[remote lintel]

no im talking about "you need to pay monthly or you're locked out of the game"

[wispy mesa]

I actually did play the free trial

[remote lintel]

is nothing new

[warm snow]

And no it's not

Not all mmos

[wispy mesa]

The first part of the game is pretty boring but I heard it gets better

[remote lintel]

yes

[outer mural]

optional subs in other games don't end up being optional if you care about going midcore/hardocre consistently

[sacred apex]

Any suggestions on guides for ||Endsinger|| Extreme before attempting? Also I’m a bit lost, where do I go to be able to access the new PvP mode?

[leaden ginkgo]

does anybody know who actually draws the ffxiv art ?

[remote lintel]

which art

[leaden ginkgo]

like the patch cover art or the way they draw the jobs during the job skill videos

[remote lintel]

hector hectorson and wolves den to the east of the aetheryte

[remote lintel]

yusuke mogi is the lead art director

[outer mural]

mizzteq aka mtqguides is fine

mr happy, if he has one, is also reliable

i would also look to see if there are pug strats available as video guides so you can compare

if you're in a learning party always ask what the strat is for pugs so you can clarify

[sacred apex]

Pug strats, pugilist?

[remote lintel]

pick up group

[outer mural]

pug means 'public group' to me (someone correct me on original term)

but basically pug strat means party finder strat

common strategies used across all public party finders for consistency

[narrow jay]

The original term is, in fact, "pick-up group", which in this context, "pug strats" would be synonymous with "pf strats" since they function nearly identically.

[vast ferry]

Does level 5 death work on anything with a multiple of 5 for a level or is there an immunity

[faint flare]

There's an immunity

Most bosses past arr have immunity to instant death

[vast ferry]

Sorry death not doom

Well instant death is really op

[faint flare]

That's why blue is ridiculous in moogle tome events

[jovial quarry]

Death immunity applies to both normal Death and Doom

[faint flare]

Cause usually a dungeon or duty that can be deathed is In it

Like aurum or T2

[plain python]

Energy Drain no longer give MP?

[faint flare]

It does for sch

[vast ferry]

Why do arr bosses not have immunity wasnt blu not added till after arr

[faint flare]

Cause they just didn't have it when they were added and they didn't adjust immunities

[oblique skiff]

it doesn't in general

energy drain restores hp on sch now

[sick light]

Remind me, do house lotteries can still give a 0 or was that removed?

[plain python]

https://i.imgur.com/JXhbRfx.png I remember it did too D:

[faint flare]

That should be fixed

[dusky sleet]

With role selection, are the channels specific to your data center or only specific ones

[sick light]

Oh, so that's one less chance, gotta hope now

[faint flare]

It was a bug based on servers communicating information

That's why housing was disabled for so long

[vast ferry]

I like to think the ones that failed went to npcs

[narrow jay]

It did not. Also please do not clutter this channel with unhelpful commentary.

[remote lintel]

it's not one less chance cause people couldn't get 0 anyway

[vast ferry]

Sorry I thought I was in rants

[lime ore]

how do you turn off "you apply x glamour to y" messages?

so annoying how it fills chat box

[cursive abyss]

Why is BSJ a level 77 Duty and not 80?

[lime ore]

so annoying how it fills chat box

[cursive abyss]

Are there no Aetherytes marked on the map or do you have to discover them for yourself?

[obsidian patio]

Have to discover them

They’re at the sections that connect the zones together

And a last one sitting in the 3rd zone

[sacred apex]

What is a good warrior controller setup for PvP?

[cursive abyss]

Oh so its not like Euerka where you at least get given the locations of where the aetherytes are?

Does Bozja also have the annoying level requirement before you can attune to them?

[obsidian patio]

Honestly whatever you find works, it’s only 7 buttons not counting the 5 universal actions.

I just have all of my job-specific actions on the right half of the bar

[faint flare]

Yes cause you can't go to those areas until you get the rank

[obsidian patio]

And have LB in the same spot for all jobs, along with the “filler” GCD combo/attack

[narrow jay]

You do have to progress your rank in the zone to access each successive sub-section, yes.

[cursive abyss]

oof

[narrow jay]

It is, however, not difficult at all to progress rank until the much much higher ranks, as you will quickly notice.

[obsidian patio]

You can’t de rank once you rank up, so death isn’t as bad in bozja in terms of leveling up

And rank just decides the lost actions you can unlock and story progress, and isn’t directly tied to doing damage

[narrow jay]

WELL.

[cursive abyss]

So, if you die and cant get a healer to rez you in time, you are NOT punished for it?

[narrow jay]

Not until you hit max rank, anyway, at which point you can start turning in reputation for damage/healing/defense boosts.

[obsidian patio]

You do, but the penalty is pretty small

You do get a larger penalty for returning, though

[narrow jay]

You lose reputation, yes. But you can't de-rank from losing rep, so it's more a mild annoyance than anything.

[obsidian patio]

But a single skirmish usually recoups the loss

[narrow jay]

And if you hit up shout chat with "{coordinates} help pls res" or something, frequently someone will come out to snag you.

[cursive abyss]

the command to spew out your coords is /pos right?

[open coral]

You can tag your coordinates with <pos>

So "<pos> can anyone res" will work

[cursive abyss]

And IIRC, there is actually an achievement for rez in Bozja instead of Eureka, so there is incentive

at least a little bit

[open coral]

Yeah

Plus rezzing in Bozja also counts towards the "Samaritan" title for general non-party raises

[cursive abyss]

Man they really learned from their mistakes with Eureka, didnt they?

[remote lintel]

well eureka was made to be a mindless grind

so its like licorice to people

[cursive abyss]

Bunny farming in hydatos to get rich off of selling mount drops is actually pretty chill tho

[remote lintel]

i personally despise it because of having to put in so much effort so it can become less effort

[cursive abyss]

seeing an actually cohesive story in an instanced content area is weird.

Eureka was just like "Here's the deets, here's a relic weapon, go have fun on this dangerous island for a few days to progress! Bye!"

Do I still need to be careful with mob aggro in Bozja?

[faint flare]

Yes

[cursive abyss]

OK, do we have Ice Dragons?

Frost Dragons, whatever those Pagos Dragons were called

[faint flare]

No

[steel canopy]

So mobs are marked from I to V, the higher the roman numeral the deadlier

[obsidian patio]

1-2 you can solo with any class, 3 you’ll want self-healing or be a tank, 4-5 want multiple people

[narrow jay]

I think the best thing for you to do honestly is just jump in and get your feet wet. The zone is pretty straightforward and will answer all your questions as you go, and isn't designed to punish you for not knowing beforehand.

[obsidian patio]

And Star-ranked ones basically want a full party, or to cheese with specific lost actions

[faint flare]

And undead mobs aggro by sound

[narrow jay]

except for the big massive fuckos

but that lesson you will only need to learn once

[warm snow]

We have star rank enemies that'll one shot non tanks, but they're easy to avoid

[cursive abyss]

I at least know about the red chocobos

[warm snow]

Lol no

No you dont

You think you do, but you don't

[cursive abyss]

I know that you have to pack reflect

[warm snow]

Reflect won't save you from the vuln stacks...

Without timers

So they stack and stack and stack

[faint flare]

Which disqualifies you from duels

[placid trellis]

is there a way to make my hotbar squares that aren't filled invisible?

[twilit arch]

https://img.finalfantasyxiv.com/lds/uiguide/eu/1c/c3668bfacd7e6be8e7193d7791986e8f1d74f0.jpg

[placid trellis]

ty so much

[gritty oracle]

Does syncing interact with food and pots in any way?

[faint flare]

Yes

[warm snow]

Yours buffing your synced stats not your real stats

[faint flare]

Cause it uses the sync stats

[warm snow]

So if a pot gives you +5% and your synced from 200 int down to 100 int you're only getting +5 int

[gritty oracle]

Hmm

Which is the best pot and food for uwu then?

[warm snow]

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[gritty oracle]

I have a stack of pumpkin potage so I’m likely going to continue using that, but I can probably save on the pots

[warm snow]

Just use that

[faint flare]

The percentage on food and pots are the same through the levels

You'll just get more stat caps on higher level food

So current stuff is fine

[feral oxide]

Is it possible to craft Pactmaker gear without first spending materia on your current crafter gear?

[warm snow]

Craft yes, craft adequately no

[plucky jewel]

Levequest is only 3 per day?

[twilit arch]

unmelded ar-caean doesnt have the stats for the recipes

so you need to meld some

[feral oxide]

What do you mean?
Can you get enough control to even attempt it?

[faint flare]

3 per 12 hours

[plucky jewel]

[feral oxide]

So not even with scrip gear?

[warm snow]

You're not gonna hit hq consistently if at all @feral oxide

[twilit arch]

you earn 3 every 12 hrs for a total of 6 every day but you can do as many as you want provided you've got the allowances for it.

[feral oxide]

But you can get enough control to start?

[warm snow]

idk ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[narrow jay]

The Balance has sections dedicated to BiS setups for ultimates. Recommend you check there.

[plucky jewel]

I have zero sadge

[feral oxide]

Well that was the question...

[warm snow]

You're not gonna be able to hq it, and nq is worse than scrip gear

[twilit arch]

you would need food and pots

and you would be just barely meeting the stats, if that

[plucky jewel]

Scrip gear is good, sadly i know about it kinda late, wasted a mil gil on nq from NPCs 💀

[twilit arch]

scrip gear is not that great

[warm snow]

Current scrip gear is especially bad

[plucky jewel]

For newbie it is at least

[boreal storm]

Vendor NQ gear is even worse

[plucky jewel]

For me

[twilit arch]

its ok if you have no interest in being a serious end-game crafter

[warm snow]

No not rn

Current scrip gear is af gear

[twilit arch]

but HQ AR-Caean with melds is better

[warm snow]

You'll need to buy a full set for each crafter

[feral oxide]

I just want to craft my own classic gear actually

[plucky jewel]

I can't instantly jump into end game without progressing step by step

[warm snow]

Scrip gear won't do that iirc

[twilit arch]

if all you want to do is meld your own stuff, you don't need any gear at all

[warm snow]

Also scrip gear has no accessories

[plucky jewel]

White scrip?

[feral oxide]

also I've noticed the crafted lvl 90 accessories aren't much better than the lvl 80 scrip accessories

[twilit arch]

white scrip gear doesn't have 90 accessories

[plucky jewel]

Just 80

[sacred apex]

Where can I find my PvP actions? For some reason all my actions say “unable to use in pvparea”

[warm snow]

Ahahaha no, white scrips are the poetics for craft/gatherer

[warm snow]

And they're bad 80 accessories

[plucky jewel]

Skybuilder scrip?

[boreal storm]

Irrelevant

[warm snow]

ShB only

[plucky jewel]

I have no choice

[warm snow]

So no

[feral oxide]

you need to go to the wolves den to set them up

[warm snow]

Make your own caean accessories

There's no pact maker accessories

Caean are bis for right side

[plucky jewel]

Materials are from EW?

[warm snow]

Gather them

[plucky jewel]

I'm still at 5.2

[sacred apex]

Do I need to talk to someone? Or is an area near the pier I need to go?

[warm snow]

Then you don't need level 90 gear at all

[twilit arch]

pvp actions are under the pvp profile menu

[boreal storm]

Then you just put them on your bar

[feral oxide]

Even with the set bonus from lvl 80 scrip gear?

[outer mural]

yes

[warm snow]

Still bad

[outer mural]

the substats even with the set bonus are still worse

you get more gp but you end up using more gp due to worse stats

[warm snow]

Some basic mid tier crafted gear from ew is better

Like level 83 or so

[plucky jewel]

Btw how to rank up on grand company? I stuck on the second private something, on the third section after clearing aurum vale

[warm snow]

Squadrons

[plucky jewel]

Play with them?

[cursive abyss]

Should I be in a party for Bozja?

[lucid cloak]

Yep, you gotta level them up (training, squadrons missions, command missions)

[jovial quarry]

To get 1st Lt, you need to get your squad to at least level 40 and then send them on a deployment that they must pass. To get Captain rank, your squad needs to be level 50 and you must accompany them through 5 unique dungeons.

[plucky jewel]

[lucid cloak]

Normally squadrons will be fine with 2 stats green but the rank up missions require all stats green

[jovial quarry]

It's usually fine to solo. During Critical Engagements people might invite you to parties so might as well accept those. Although it isn't really necessary most of the time.

[lucid cloak]

As reze said eventually they make you run 5 command missions too

[plucky jewel]

I'm even further from continuing my msq because of these unlimited interesting stuffs

[lucid cloak]

My question for that actually, I'm considering switching grand companies. What do I have to redo for those

[feral oxide]

looks like if I need to spend materia to craft pactmaker with my AR gear I should just buy the pactmaker off the MB since they're like 90k a piece

[lucid cloak]

Can I just dump the piles of gear I get from expert roulette for seals for my new grand company and instantly hit max level (provided I have enough)?

[faint flare]

No

[feral oxide]

looks like if I need to spend materia to craft pactmaker with my AR gear I should just buy the pactmaker off the MB since they're like 90k a piece

[faint flare]

Cause you don't habe the rank for it when you start a new gc

[cursive abyss]

Do you get extra rewards for being in a party like eureka? There it was practically required

[faint flare]

It's for contribution

Lile fates

[lucid cloak]

Do I have to redo the command missions and such then?

[jovial quarry]

Expert delivery will be locked again. Early progression will be the same as your first. Once you unlock the barracks, however, your squad will reunlock and stay as they were when you transferred.

[plucky jewel]

If you switch gc, you start from the lowest rank?

[boreal storm]

Yes

[twilit arch]

yes

[jovial quarry]

But, yeah, you'll have to do the deployments again.

[lucid cloak]

Eh

[plucky jewel]

Can you go back to previous gc?

[twilit arch]

yes

[lucid cloak]

Maybe too much trouble for just getting more aetheryte tickets lol

[boreal storm]

With 20k Gil

[plucky jewel]

💀

[lucid cloak]

You can switch freely yes

[plucky jewel]

I see

[twilit arch]

its only free for the first time

[jovial quarry]

There's also a 15 day cooldown before you can transfer again

[twilit arch]

has gil cost for subsequent switches

[lucid cloak]

Though tbf in this game, 20k gil is almost nothing

[urban gazelle]

what do i do? im level 50 and so is it and its aggressive. everything else in the shroud is level 5 or 10

[plucky jewel]

Idk how i ended up on serpent, i start the game in uldah, i don't like yellow

[urban gazelle]

i have good gear if it matters

[jovial quarry]

50 ARC? First you should unlock Bard. Second, I don't think you can solo that at level 50. Avoid if possible.

[twilit arch]

its an A rank hunt mob, can use /shout in gridania to announce it but doesn't really matter.

[urban gazelle]

i have!

[twilit arch]

someone will probably be along to murder it shortly

[boreal storm]

Put your stone on, right now

[urban gazelle]

every time i quick equip it removes it. i need to fix that

[twilit arch]

make a gear set

the little paper icon at the top

[urban gazelle]

i will do that now haha. since it keeps unequiping my blues

[plucky jewel]

Yea gear set

[jovial quarry]

But yeah announce its position over shout chat and people should be along to help.

[sacred apex]

Is it best to do the new PvP with friends or can I do the duty with ransoms? Also is there no tank stance in PvP?

[urban gazelle]

gear set made!

[urban gazelle]

what do i say?

[plucky jewel]

And drag the set into hotbar for convenient switching jobs

[boreal storm]

Of course there’s no tank stance, it’s against players

[jovial quarry]

Can only do single queue in PvP for now. Tank stance isn't a thing but you do have defense options.

[faint flare]

Frontlines allows for party

[twilit arch]

"forenus spawn at <pos>"

[jovial quarry]

That you've found an A rank hunt and include your coordinates. You can do that by adding <pos> in your message.

[twilit arch]

<pos> will link the coordinates you're currently standing at

[lucid cloak]

A level 50 a rank is more than a lv50 char can handle those would be intended for a group of lv50s

[cursive abyss]

Lost Actions are just like Logos Actions from Eureka, right?

[lucid cloak]

A lv90 will probably fly by. Double take. Dismount and kill it in 10 seconds.

[light hearth]

What is this hair style called ?

[jovial quarry]

Yep. You can do some absurd things with them later too.

[twilit arch]

early to rise @light hearth

[urban gazelle]

haha i expect so. one of my friends is level 90 in all classes haha and im always shocked by what they can do

[boreal storm]

Also not to critique your hot bars or anything, but like why do you have so many potions on them

[urban gazelle]

when i started playing i didnt know how to upgrade my gear so i had level 1 gear equipped at level 40 and was potioning through level 20 stuff

[lucid cloak]

Hey. I can quit anytime I want

[urban gazelle]

was a bit of a mess.

[lucid cloak]

I just don't wanna

[crystal bluff]

[lucid cloak]

drinks spiritbonding potion

[plucky jewel]

[cursive abyss]

Can I start synthing new LAs or do I have to wait until Zadnor?

[boreal storm]

Not how that works

[faint flare]

It's based on fragments appraise

[jovial quarry]

It's dependent on rank. Also you don't have to combine them like you do in Eureka. They're single use unlocks.

Sort of like miniature lockboxes.

[urban gazelle]

so if anyone is on ravana this stupid boss is here haha. i know i cant do a thing.

[cursive abyss]

Oh so once I have them, I have them forever and dont have to combine more of them to make more?

[jovial quarry]

They're still consumable but the mixing part is gone.

Just submit more fragments for appraisal to get more.

[boreal storm]

You appraise, get actions, use actions, kill faster

[lucid cloak]

I believe your second line didn't get shouted

[urban gazelle]

whiles its on my mind. are these important?

[boreal storm]

Free money, sell em

[urban gazelle]

yeah not sure why

[jovial quarry]

Sell those to a vendor. They're free money.

[lucid cloak]

Nah have your retainers sell them

Or sell them to a vendor yourself

[cursive abyss]

Or, Doman Enclave

[urban gazelle]

[lucid cloak]

And by retainers i mean I just have retainers sell for gil once a day while I'm redoing my marketboard. Don't waste a marketboard sale slot on them

That will buy you one glam jacket

[urban gazelle]

i got the free million for the server i started on and my friend gave me 500k to get me started

[lucid cloak]

Urban/rebel coat was going for 1.5 mil on adamantoise last i checked

[buoyant monolith]

What event is going on in XIV this time sense I’m back at it again?

[boreal storm]

Nothing

[urban gazelle]

wow 😮

also sell right?

[lucid cloak]

You don't really need gil for story reasons. But if you get into side stuff then you can drain it easily

[twilit arch]

make it rain will be starting soon but currently nothing is running @buoyant monolith

[buoyant monolith]

Sweet

[urban gazelle]

i have so much junk and idk what i should be keeping or selling haha

[lucid cloak]

Want to speed level your crafters/gatherers? Housing? Glamor? Those add up real fast. Large house costs ~50 million assuming you can even win the auction

[sacred apex]

Is the limit Beak gauge shared in the new PvP or does each person have their own bar?

[boreal storm]

Individual as per usual

[urban gazelle]

WOW

[barren bison]

hey so i’ve been playing the Square Enix free trial version and I’m thinking about switching over to the steam version, is it possible to do while also preserving my data??

[boreal storm]

Yes

[urban gazelle]

i did. i got the game+endwalker after doing the trial for about 6 hours. was a bit bumpy but worked out fine.

[barren bison]

oh alright thanks

[lucid cloak]

There really isn't anything in the game that demands gil, but it sure make some things faster and easier

[urban gazelle]

ive spent about 150k on teleports 😢 i didnt read it costs money till i was broke and wondering why i couldnt teleport haha

but all good now

i have spent 3 painful hours hunting a stupid bird with no luck

[lucid cloak]

Speaking of teleports its good to set up your home point and favorite points

[lucid cloak]

Home point = return, 0 gil but 10 min cooldown
Favorite point = half gil cost for teleport

[urban gazelle]

is the bird i can not for the life of me find.

[lucid cloak]

You're level 50 right?

[twilit arch]

they're at naked rock @urban gazelle

[lucid cloak]

That's not a lot of exp unless you're doing it for completion sake

[urban gazelle]

so it is. dumb bird lol.

[urban gazelle]

yeah just doing it for completion. ive had 9 of 10 for a while

[boreal storm]

There’s 5 tiers for the log
3 for GC

[twilit arch]

they're lizards but eh

[outer mural]

[solemn jewel]

Sell the gold bags, that's their only use. Sell all the leather, blood, wings etc. Keep the food for the exp bonus,plus the glam prisms and thr envelopes

[cursive abyss]

Why do I not have a Duty Action UI Element like I did with Eureka?

[urban gazelle]

also im not far in the story at all. i was doing everything but the msq and now im fighting like level 10 stuff at level 50+

so thats fun.

[solemn jewel]

Oof

Might be worth picking up a 2nd job?

[faint flare]

Cause you haven't got an action assigned yet

[urban gazelle]

yeah i got conj so i can do white mage now

[faint flare]

Go to the cache, add an action to the Holster...open the holster and assign the action

[boreal storm]

They have job restrictions btw

[cursive abyss]

TY

[patent citrus]

bidding phase ends with weekly reset?

or with daily reset?

[faint flare]

Daily

[patent citrus]

ok ty ty

[faint flare]

As that's when 8am pdt

[wraith vault]

Is warrior a str or vit job?

[umbral dune]

Str

[boreal storm]

Yes, both of those

[sacred apex]

As a warrior, what should I be doing during PvP, just played pvp for the first time and I feel like even though I was attacking I was not doing as well as my other members

[remote lintel]

CC the team and annoy them

burst with your dps members

[boreal storm]

Did you read all your actions beforehand

[remote lintel]

you have a stun and a pull so you should be using that when people are bursting or someone is getting away

stay on the crystal if you can and keep yourself alive

[lucid cloak]

Warriors don't really have great kill potential on their own

[remote lintel]

though in way higher ranks you can go and chase but thats another thing

[craggy remnant]

!status behemot

[zinc orbit]

Information

Behemoth is currently Online
This server is currently: Standard
Creation of New Characters Available

[lucid cloak]

They can only really secure a kill if they catch someone out on low health and no purify

Warriors have a good amount of self healing so your goal is to disrupt the enemy team as much as you can then disengage if your defensives are exhausted

[sacred apex]

So my goal is to basically stun and pull enemies while making sure they also really can’t do anything

[lucid cloak]

If you see a juicy target for a stun. Like someone on really low health, or 3-4 grouped up with no shield. Beyblade beyblade let it rip

[craggy remnant]

Any tips to level up fast With my first lancer on Guadiana

[remote lintel]

and burst

you need to burst when the dps do

you cant stun and pull randomly

[lucid cloak]

The biggest offensive contribution from the warrior is their LB

[remote lintel]

do msq

[boreal storm]

#kupo-bot-spam we told you about this already

[lucid cloak]

Land it on an enemy team right before the turbulence on cloud nine for hilarious results

[craggy remnant]

Msq?Then how didy friend who started with me our twice my level😭

[boreal storm]

Preferred world, and doing the story

[lucid cloak]

Maybe hunting log too

[sturdy rose]

Hmm when cross server thing become live, will cross world linkshell be upgraded to cross server as well ?

[remote lintel]

no

[jovial quarry]

Cross world linkshells will not function across data centers but you can join other CWLS while traveling and they'll stay for the next time you go to that DC.

[cursive abyss]

Huh, despite Bozja being more for 71-80 jobs, 80-90 still gets some mileage out of it

Interesting.

[viscid moth]

Wasn't there a website that tracked S-rank respawns?

[robust crow]

it's around 300k exp for fates and 700k exp for CEs

it's decent all the way up to 90

roulettes or dungeon spam is better

but if you were going to get bozja achievements or relic progress or whatever, you may as well level a job too

even if that job is 80+

i decided that 85 would be my cap in bozja so I got a lot of DPS jobs to 85 and then switched

[cursive abyss]

I didnt do Bozja after binging Eureka and stuck to MSQ after that, so now that I finished 6.1, might as well go clean up Bozja and get my Cerberus Mount, too

gives me something to do until 6.2

[remote lintel]

crystal conflict gives a little more than bozja fates but may also take a little longer than bozja

so if you dont want to farm bozja thats an option

[cursive abyss]

I also dont have a relic weapon glam for PLD yet so might as well

[half canopy]

??

[cursive abyss]

Does Bozja have a lockbox mount?

[robust crow]

i'm not 100% sure but i'm pretty sure the gabriel mount can come from lockboxes

[faint flare]

Yes

[cursive abyss]

Is that mount sellable on the MB?

[faint flare]

Red scrips don't exist anymore

Yes it is

[cursive abyss]

I think there was also a gold version of gabriel?

[faint flare]

Yes

From delubrum

Very rare

got it 3rd run

[sacred apex]

I’ve been thinking about trying summoner again, is it now considered more complex or a bit more simple? Haven’t played since SHB

[cursive abyss]

How much does that fetch on the MB?

[faint flare]

It the easiest job now

[half canopy]

damn..then what’s the easiest way to get blue crafter scrip tokens?

[faint flare]

Gold one on Light is 6mil

Regular is 350k

[sacred apex]

Really, is it due to the new eggi systems with the Ifrit golem and Tiamat?

[faint flare]

Yes

[green vapor]

How do you get bootlets/boots of eternal passion?

[faint flare]

The flow is greatly simplified

[faint flare]

Wedding

[green vapor]

ic. Thanks!

[cursive abyss]

Not bad

on Marlboro

I imagine Eureka mounts are worth more because no sane person wants to invest 50-60 hours of their life to get to Eureka Hydatos and Pyros.

[faint flare]

And because bojza lockboxes are infinitely easier to get

Each duel is 99 when you win

[dim silo]

Hi um, I need to beat Thornmarch but duty finder isn't finding anyone, would 6 of you want to join in?

[faint flare]

Not the channel for it

[boreal storm]

Just be patient

[faint flare]

Especially when we're all different data centres

[dim silo]

Oh there is one! I'm sorry

[cursive abyss]

What usually happens to mount prices when new expeditionary content gets added? Seems like that won't happen again until 7.X, but its very interesting.

[boreal storm]

Rare mounts will still be rare, and be expensive on mb

[faint flare]

Bojza ones will probably won't go up cause it's a levelling area

[half canopy]

what’s the easiest way to get blue crafter scrip tokens?

[faint flare]

Just do your collectibles and trade the white scrips

[boreal storm]

That’s literally the only way to do it

[lucid cloak]

Is this for lv60 gear?

Really wish they retired that system

Uh, idyllshire

Scrips vendor

[boreal storm]

Blue tokens are for anima, they’re still the fastest source for sand

[lucid cloak]

Iirc the lv60 crafter/gatherer gear required them at some point

Not sure if they got rid of that, but hopefully yes

[half canopy]

is it 60 x sand required for anima?

[faint flare]

Minimum

[boreal storm]

60 period, and we told you this yesterday

[placid trellis]

So I did my first pvp match and I had no idea it would throw different skills at me... so I felt like I did nothing the whole round. How can I set up my PVP hot bar ahead of time?

[faint flare]

Go to thr wolves den

They even provide striking dummies

[placid trellis]

not sure... how?

I'll google it

[boreal storm]

PvP profile, put on skills

[placid trellis]

I see this on the profile and I see the skills I can put on my hotbar but like... when I went in it replaced my hotbar

can I replace my hotbar like that?

hard to explain...

[fossil bloom]

what do i need to get a kinna weapon?

[jovial quarry]

Go to the Wolves Den so you can assign the stuff ahead of time. All of the Wolves Den counts as a PvP area. If you assign the stuff outside of that zone, it won't stick.

[boreal storm]

90/90 aether pool turned into 9 grips

[placid trellis]

k, I'll google ho wto get there then

ty

[boreal storm]

I just told you how

[pulsar hawk]

Hey ppl, why is Tank LB3 asked to be used at 4 seconds? where can I find more info on this or why is that?

[placid trellis]

pvp profile but on skills doesn't really tell me much

[remote lintel]

4 seconds on what

[fossil bloom]

just that? no potsherds needed?

[pulsar hawk]

before the boss hits , like in ||the last day||

[faint flare]

Go to the wolves den by teleporting

[remote lintel]

bc in some fights you die without it

[boreal storm]

So the reduction buff goes through

[pulsar hawk]

I know but why 4 sconds

[remote lintel]

because cast time

[pulsar hawk]

cant it be casted before? how long does it lasts?

[remote lintel]

lasts 8 seconds iirc

[pulsar hawk]

Like it tells you, 10 seconds before the attack, so it doesnt matter if the tank casts it at 5 o 6 secs left, not specifically 4 then?

[fossil bloom]

oh, it needs 6 instead of 9

[pulsar hawk]

its just that some people get so salty when the LB3 is not used at exact 4 seconds , so i was wondering about that lol

[boreal storm]

And what does the padjal weapon need? 3 grips

[jovial quarry]

You also need to turn in the previous version so it’ll cost 9 in the end anyway.

[narrow jay]

The buff only lasts a small length of time, which means you need to make sure that it's still on the party when the damage snapshots. The damage animations are usually quite long, and the actual snapshot doesn't happen until well into them.

If you use it too early, it falls off before the damage is applied

and everyone dies anyway

[fossil bloom]

....oh

[pulsar hawk]

Oh it falls off, okay then!

thank you 👍🏻

[fossil bloom]

i forgot the part where it needed a padjal weapon turn in

orz

time to grind aetherpool i guess

[remote lintel]

yes the damage mitigation lasts 8 seconds and takes a couple seconds to apply

[fossil bloom]

is 51-60 the fastest way to do it?

[narrow jay]

Basically, if everyone is telling you to do a specific thing at a very specific time, it's typically because they know what they're talking about.

[pulsar hawk]

i know but theres nothing wrong wanting to know why

[boreal storm]

It’s the same principle as any mitigation

Do it too early and you waste it

[narrow jay]

And in the cases where Tank LB3 is needed, wasting it by using it too early or too late means everyone dies and you have to do the entire fight to that point all over again.

But I do agree that knowing why is important to doing things correctly.

=)

[boreal storm]

Open the PvP profile, Put your PvP skills on the PvP hotbar that is automatically on in PvP zones

[fossil bloom]

mmm...unrelated to POTD - what's the name of the emote that makes you, uh, cower/scared? i remember the animation being used if you fail the tightrope mechanic on the final fight of dohn mheg

[solar anvil]

so if i buy the game can i log into it if i have it already installed on steam?

i'm trying to and its showing me this

[boreal storm]

Buy the game on what

[solar anvil]

i bought it on the website

[boreal storm]

Nope

[solar anvil]

got a code and punched it in

i have to redownload it?

[boreal storm]

Site even tells you steam and SE don’t work together

[solar anvil]

;-;

ogei thx

[cold quarry]

suffering o3o

[sick vine]

then which is better

just asking

[narrow jay]

Neither.

[boreal storm]

There’s no better one

[cold quarry]

doesn't really matter except payment method

[narrow jay]

They take up the same license slot.

If you buy the game on Steam, that license goes in the PC slot, and you can't then buy the PC license.

[worn lantern]

is there a website to like see how glamors would look?

[boreal storm]

Eorzea collection

[worn lantern]

oh im on it is there a thing i could like select each piece of armor?

[boreal storm]

No

[worn lantern]

oh i remember there was a website you could like make a glamor set to see how it would look

like dress up your character

[obsidian patio]

https://ffxiv.dlunch.net/model.html?language=2

Note that you need to know the name of the items

[worn lantern]

YES thank you
