oh wait

heavy knot
#

guys

#

which healer use shield+1h and heavy armor? like holy paladin in wow or restro shaman? i wanna be healer but with heavy armor+shield:D

kindred vale
#

Closest you'd get is FF14's own Paladin

#

Which is a tank

heavy knot
#

no i wanna tanky healer not tank 😄

kindred vale
#

There's no healer role that really uses heavy armor

#

Sorry

boreal storm
#

And white mage shields do not exist past lvl 50

alpine current
#

what dps class is pretty easy late game if there is any?

robust crow
#

summoner

boreal storm
#

All of them

visual sandal
#

summoner

fossil trench
#

Summoner

alpine current
#

was gonna try smn lol

fossil trench
#

Where's the picture 👀

visual sandal
#

you could like
sneeze on your kb

robust crow
#

definitely not "all of them"

visual sandal
#

and it'd work

robust crow
#

some jobs are absolutely harder than others

fossil trench
#

cough black mage

robust crow
#

and some jobs have a way lower skill floor than others

fossil trench
#

But yes, summoner

remote lintel
#

smn and rpr

robust crow
#

dancer is also pretty easy

#

red mage as well

alpine current
#

i did try dancer a few mins ago cause i unlocked it but i think im dumb or something

fossil trench
#

Rpr and rdm have to keep an eye on your gauge

remote lintel
#

dnc rotation is just pressing 1 2

#

until stuff lights up

alpine current
#

yeah i thought

remote lintel
#

then press the light up stuff

fossil trench
#

Summoner is summon bahamut/phoenix, use all 3 egis and their skills, repeat

alpine current
#

lol

fossil trench
#

The optimisation on summoner is knowing when to use which egi

#

But other than that it's pretty braindead

alpine current
#

oh and how do you get a class to 15 fast? can you do potd at like lvl 2 or no

fossil trench
#

Hunting logs

last knot
#

just do your hunting logs and job quests

fossil trench
#

Or getting a friend to power level you in amh ahreng ablobpeek

#

@robust crow knows all about that trick

obsidian patio
#

POTD isn’t too great at the super duper low levels, so better to do some side quests and hunting logs first before jumping in there

robust crow
#

are you on aether and how far into the story are you

alpine current
#

post arr

robust crow
#

I can get you from 1 to 15 in literally 5 minutes

fossil trench
#

Oh post arr, rip

alpine current
#

just beat ramuh

#

yeah

robust crow
#

ok maybe more like 15 minutes if you're only in ARR

fossil trench
#

Mor dhona?

robust crow
#

maybe 20

alpine current
#

xd

robust crow
#

mor dhona has the best arr spot I know of

#

there could be better ones

alpine current
#

hows ninja later on too

#

was gonna try it maybe also

fossil trench
#

Ninja is button heavy

remote lintel
#

ninjas fine

#

just high apm

robust crow
#

ninja presses very many buttons very quickly but is overall one of the easier melee

fossil trench
#

Honestly, just try all of the classes

#

Ninjas have one of the most satisfying jump animations with their weapons out

#

They do a back flip each time they jump

alpine current
#

i hate casters but i do love the fact of summoning things so it prob wont work out in the end lol

#

thats pretty cool

fossil trench
#

Summoner's are casters in name only

robust crow
#

summoner barely casts

#

at all

alpine current
#

o

robust crow
#

they are more like a physical ranged

#

only like 5 spells per minute have a cast time

fossil trench
#

4

#

More at lower levels

#

But only 4 at 90

obsidian patio
#

It depends on your spell speed

robust crow
#

I say 5 only because those spells are longer cast than your average GCD

#

slipstream is something like a 3 or 3.5s cast

obsidian patio
#

High SPS means you need more filler Ruin 3’s per cycle

alpine current
#

oh that delicious 97 hp

robust crow
#

and I only need one filler ruin 3

#

before summons are back up

fossil trench
#

Higher sps shouldn't affect your rotation, because bahamut/phoenix scales with sps too

robust crow
#

but you do end up doing more cycles because the baha/Phoenix summon is faster

#

like it's a 50ish second cycle instead of a 1 minute cycle

hearty stump
#

I've seen people take screenshots with their retainers but I don't know how to and Google isn't helping, can anyone tell me how it's done?

alpine current
#

also what gathering class would you suggest first?

fossil trench
#

All pikalul

#

Well miner and botanist

#

Since they feed into all crafters

#

Fishers are a whole different ball game

remote lintel
robust crow
#

except fisher

alpine current
#

XDD

robust crow
#

as mentioned

hearty stump
alpine current
#

which one would prob be best to do first from miner or botan

remote lintel
#

then it sounds like a 3rd party tool

robust crow
#

but I guess you could pick a crafter too

#

miners would help metalworking crafters more at first

fossil trench
#

Are you on free trial or paid sub actually?

robust crow
#

but in the end you need all of them anyway

fossil trench
#

Harder to level crafters on free trial

#

Because no marketboard accesa

last knot
#

pick botanist first because the harvesting sound is nice worry

alpine current
#

xd

dusk trail
#

what are the level requirements for the new jobs?

boreal storm
#

70, as the quests say

dusk trail
#

alright

#

got a level 70. Where do I grab the quests?

QQ: Does this mean I only have the remainder of today and tomorrow or does it mean, today plus 2 more days?

obsidian patio
#

2 days from right when you logged in at the start of the free trial

#

Down to the minute, basically.

halcyon garden
#

Oh. Awesome. Thanks!

atomic plume
#

If you decide to sub don't forget to grab a friend code

#

Gives you some free stuff

dusk trail
#

last time I played, dps queues were frequently 15+ min. Has this changed?

atomic plume
#

Nope. DPS always takes longer

dusk trail
#

alright

atomic plume
#

Some current content may be a little quicker tho

halcyon garden
dusk trail
#

damn, I guess I'm back at square 1 when I played last time and am still unable to pick a job to play

remote lintel
#

just pick whatever looks cool

dusk trail
#

they all do!!

#

that's the problem :(

remote lintel
#

then get all of them?

dusk trail
#

I have. I just spend so much time leveling tho

#

don't actually progress MSQ lol

atomic plume
#

Lol

#

Pick one you like the most and do msq with it

dusk trail
#

okay final question have they made AST fun again with this expac

remote lintel
#

fun is subjective

obsidian patio
#

IMO no

remote lintel
#

I don't like it either

#

it's a lot more rng

dusk trail
#

alas

obsidian patio
#

I don’t like the current iteration of Lord/Lady, and it forces you to use Lightspeed for your burst window to weave all the needed things.

#

And Astrodyne’s haste/damage boost feels very marginal and not rewarding enough due to the removal of Redraw charges and Sleeve Draw assuring you a seal you need

dusk trail
#

I really just want the old card mechanics back, I really enjoyed the decision making of storing/using cards

visual sandal
#

is anyone else giga lagging rn

#

I'm getting horrendous ping but my own internet is fine

dusk trail
#

but whatever, guess that's not coming back

sour badger
#

is the white lanner a low chance drop?

boreal storm
#

All ex mounts are

sour badger
#

ah okay, i must've had good luck for the first ones then

leaden ginkgo
#

so uh I've been using this opener/rotation for my black mage (lv 80). I can rarely get to the first despair before my astral fire timer runs out

raw solstice
#

you can (and probably should) use the Ley Lines after the first Fire IV instead of the second, but it won't save you that much time

#

the issue instead is you're likely not properly queueing spells, and instead have some delays between casts as you think about what you have to press

#

it's important to try to keep your GCD rolling as much as possible

remote lintel
#

4 instant cast f4s shouldnt take up 15s

raw solstice
#

well there's also the T3, and the triple is hard clipped

#

but still, should be a fair bit of leeway normally regardless, even if you end up at base sps

robust crow
#

because theoretically it's impossible to fail the opener

#

so you are doing something wrong

leaden ginkgo
#

hrm I seemed to struggle matching it in dungeones/fighting trash so I probably havent developed the muscle memory enough

#

back to the training dummies

raw solstice
#

almost guaranteed it's what I mentioned

remote lintel
#

you shouldn't be using single target in trash

leaden ginkgo
#

well a single target trash pull outside of a dungeon

robust crow
#

i'm assuming you mean bosses but yeah

#

completing the opener fire phase should be consistent

#

like you should be able to do it 100/100 times if you're doing it correctly

raw solstice
#

99.9% certain it's just not pressing buttons fast enough, that's pretty much universally the case when the question is asked. Not so much doing something wrong, just not pushing the buttons fast enough

#

that aside, you won't normally be doing an opener in most situations anyways

#

in dungeons, between encounters you'll just be spamming umbral soul during downtime, and get to bosses with UI3 + 3 umbral hearts

robust crow
#

i was curious so I tested it just now after removing all my gear (2.49 GCD)

raw solstice
#

so you just T3 -> F3 and do your normal rotation

robust crow
#

i had 2 seconds left on AF3 at the first despair

raw solstice
#

I mentioned already that it's doable at base sps

#

and that they're almost certainly just pausing between spells

robust crow
#

yea but now there's the exact amount of leeway you get

leaden ginkgo
#

oof 2 seconds of leeway

raw solstice
#

it'll be different depending on a few factors, notably more leeway with a bit more sps, but yeah

fossil trench
#

That's the case with all classes

raw solstice
#

just gotta focus on mashing/queueing your F4 buttons and such, avoiding delays between casts

old willow
#

in guide it says "Soul without Life" you get the crystal in about 2 fates each. But I've been doing about ten to get 1 drop for each zones. Does the class that you choose matter? And does doing it with lv90 jobs will increase the chance?

fossil trench
#

You're meant to fire off things one after another, not delay as you think about what to press next

remote lintel
#

@old willow it's rng

remote lintel
#

it's always been rng

#

and it's def not a 50% chance

old willow
#

how about the class?

robust crow
#

out of curiosity i'm gonna see how much leeway you have at full sps

remote lintel
#

you have to do the fates as the class for the weapon iirc

old willow
#

ive heard somewhere forgot the source, if you did it with lv90 jobs, you get increased chance or something

robust crow
remote lintel
#

with the weapon equipped

old willow
#

lemme browse my youtube history

remote lintel
#

oh

twilit arch
#

you dont need job for Anima

remote lintel
#

I'm thinking of something else then

twilit arch
#

you just need the quest active

faint flare
#

Sounds like some fake news desperius stuff

twilit arch
#

its atma that requires the weapon

remote lintel
#

yea it was atma

robust crow
#

4 seconds of leeway with full SPS build btw

old willow
robust crow
#

i wonder if it might be because you didn't get leylines out while being at base sps

leaden ginkgo
#

changed my f4 so hoping I'll get to it faster

robust crow
#

this game promotes button mashing fwiw

#

so smash that f4 button

oblique skiff
#

you want your f4 in some really accessible spot
since it's a massive chunk of your rotation

raw solstice
#

well you don't need to mash really at all, can calmly queue it if you'd prefer

#

but it's more about not having to pause and think about what you need to hit

old willow
robust crow
#

but sir, mashing makes me feel like I do more dps

little swift
#

Desperius yenFear

#

Is that consolegameswiki?

#

Lmao

fossil trench
#

Console games wiki?

old willow
remote lintel
#

don't think consolegameswiki says that

fossil trench
#

Anyone can wrote stuff kekstar

little swift
#

That's not curated

faint flare
remote lintel
#

is that on the quest page specifically

#

or the general page

leaden ginkgo
#

woah

#

got it working

little swift
#

I could go in and write that the sahagin beast tribe at rank 12 unlocks dsr

leaden ginkgo
#

ok yeah I was slow playdead

robust crow
#

yea

dusk trail
#

I bought a vial of phantasia or whatever it's called, where can I find it?

obsidian patio
#

Mail

robust crow
#

now just practice it 100 more times and it will work every time like clockwork

dusk trail
obsidian patio
#

Character specific items are usually very fast, like within the hour

dusk trail
#

okay

remote lintel
fossil trench
#

Even if it's approximately 50% chance? Rng can still screw you over

robust crow
#

yeah everything on consolegameswiki needs to be taken with

robust crow
#

a bucket of salt

fossil trench
#

I mean, console games wiki has very clear steps for the relic weapons

robust crow
#

it has some good general info but fact checking will help

fossil trench
#

Never really looked at the odds before

little swift
#

We haven't received official drop rates for a lot of things we need to farm. So it's better to be mindful and just expect bad rng

heavy wadi
#

Ironically that drop rate did hold true for me and I got each crystal in 2 fates but. rng is rng

I'm currently experiencing some pretty nasty latency issues and was curious how to go about looking at network settings for the game. It's exclusive to FFXIV right now and I play on the standalone launcher so I assume Steam Summer Sale isn't causing it?

Hey if i buy endwalker on another ps4 account can i link it to another account thats also on my ps4

It's tied to your psn

So no

Is there a server issue in game? I keep getting like big freezing issues when trying to interact and do stuff and move around. It’s like a weird internet delay

Im teleporting around and other players are too

And my discord was like messing up earlier

Where is a place that a lvl 59 can go to lvl like fates ?

you should be doing dungeons to level

but if you're doing fates to level while waiting for queues, dravanian hinterlands is in your level range

the fringes as well

pure zenith
outer mural
#

you just run the dungeons again

pure zenith
#

your actual highest level dungeon

outer mural
#

yeah not roulettes

pure zenith
#

just keep doing em

outer mural
#

they give the most exp for your time

pure zenith
#

the roulette is only once daily and then you spam the highest level non 50/60/70/80/90 dungeon you have access to

fringe peak
flint pollen
#

I thought once you don’t them and you can’t get any more ?

pure zenith
#

are daily

#

que for the actual dungeon

#

like the specific dungeon that is level 59ish

outer mural
#

you would directly queue for Great Gubal Library in this case

flint pollen
#

Why does it not show exp when you check them ???

pure zenith
flint pollen
#

I meant goin to the specific dungeon ?

outer mural
#

it just doesn't

#

i will agree showing it would be very helpful

#

so you can just calculate/anticipate how many runs you need

#

but for rn it's just 'run the highest level dungeon after your roulettes'

#

never do 50/60/70/80 dungeons manually (NOT THE ROULETTE, THAT'S FINE) btw they give shit exp

flint pollen
#

Lol I’m doing that now lol

#

The guildheist is the worst

#

I don’t bother that one

That is for very low lvs

Everyone says DC and world doesnt matter. I want to raid but I also enjoy RP. My main MMOs before this have been swg/lotro/TSW/ESO. In the past I have found RP focused servers to be hard to find groups since I play late at night.
I hear crystal is the RP DC but I am leaning towards Primal Ultros.
I have heard some say Ultros can be a bit trollish. Is this still the case?

Which world should I pick?

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

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

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

Notable worlds:

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

ty

outer mural
#

tl;dr ultros is fine

#

you will not find it hard to find rp in any place tbh but crystal is abundant

#

but i would pick a dc with a better timezone that is best for you and prioritize that

#

ffxiv is a massively rp-centric community anyway, plus DC travel is coming in... 2 weeks or so?

they are literally in the same room sitting next to eachother

#

haha

#

ok

outer mural
#

but yeah if you're in hawaii anything's fine

#

go for crystal, think that's the best pick

#

DC travel is coming anyway so this issue won't matter

signal oracle
#

cool. prob for the standard $18?

outer mural
#

ya dc has no bearing on ur sub so that's up to u

if u dont' see urself making multiple characters then entry sub is the most money efficient

so many helpful people. was not expecting that haha

But I suggest you make a toon there before you transfer so you can get an idea

What's a fast way to lvl up miner? Currently lvl 43

#

To unlock the grand company squadron emotes, do you simply have to do 10 command missions on any dungeon, or do they need to be 10 unique dungeons?

twilit arch
#

any 10

#

stone vigil is pretty common choice for getting that done

whole ember
#

awesome. any idea if stone vigil is still quickest or is totorak better now?

twilit arch
#

Not sure on that

whole ember
#

eh either way its only 5 more runs

twilit arch
#

personally would do stone just cos its higher

#

more abilities to use

outer mural
#

stone vigil is quicker than before because they got rid of that dumb cannon gimmick after the second boss

whole ember
#

yeah absolutely

outer mural
#

if that helps your decision

whole ember
#

i never did it with squads during that and i imagine it was a pain

sour badger
#

Is the firebird mount grindy/hard to get?

outer mural

Hi
I recently purchased ffxiv starter edition on steam and tried linking it to my free trial square enix service account. My steam store region and the region registered on my service account are different so its not allowing me to register the CD key. Is it possible for me to change my service account region?

twilit arch
#

no, you can't change your service account region

#

you'd either need to make a new account or find someone to swap codes with

queen spruce
#

Unfortunate
I wouldve refunded but refunds arent allowed on the starter version

proud acorn
#

i've only been playing for a month, but is it common for healers to use rescue to yoink the tank across a map in the middle of a fight?

fossil trench
#

What's the context? Were you single pulling or positioning the boss wrongly?

proud acorn
#

i was pulling crowds of trash mobs

twilit arch
#

sounds like the healer's silent way of telling you to pull more

#

not ideal, but generally should be pulling wall to wall, esp in higher dungeons

proud acorn
#

and healer yoinked me to "put me in a better spot to heal"

fossil trench
#

What dungeon

proud acorn
#

i was pulling the entirety of every room, plus more, healer could barely keep me alive

#

if i pulled more we would've wiped

#

aurum vale

fossil trench
#

Of course

#

Aurum Vale is one where you DON'T want more than 2 groups

#

It also has patrolling mobs, so you can accidentally aggro more packs if you're in their way

twilit arch
#

generally though, most healers aren't going to randomly rescue you

proud acorn
#

he was also running ahead and aggroing everything so it's probably a pattern of behaviour

#

bc i've never had a healer use that on me before

boreal storm
#

Also if the healer was having trouble keeping heals up, then take it down a notch

proud acorn
#

i mean after that i started pulling a bit slower but he kept running ahead, i had to pop CDs almost every trash pull it was wild

#

ok now im just complaining, ty for answer

fossil trench
#

Errr

fossil trench
#

Never save them for the boss

proud acorn
#

not at the rate i was

#

i had to have a cd up constantly

#

i've never had to do that

fossil trench
#

Yes?

#

That's how you tank

#

Pop defensive CDs at the start and keep one up

#

And other than the first room, you can wall pull the rest of aurum vale

#

It's just the first room that you have to be more cautious

proud acorn
#

im just not explaining it properly probably, it was much worse than any av run i've ever done

robust crow
#

is ninja currently the only job that uses scouting gear

#

can't remember atm

oblique skiff
#

yup

robust crow
#

so my hopes of a real bow/ranged class are possible

jade quartz
#

You can and should have a defensive cd up at almost all times during trash pulls

boreal storm
jade quartz
#

And if you were taking a lot of damage, but not dying, then the healer was doing an excellent job

#

And if they were running ahead and rescuing you they could clearly handle more

heavy wadi
#

And if you are pulling less than the healer knows they can heal then they're probably gonna pull more for you.

jade quartz
#

Don’t take the fact they are letting your hp drop very low as evidence they “can’t handle anymore”

#

That means they’re being very efficient with their heals

heavy wadi
#

W2W is the norm, as a tank you don't set the pace, but the group as a whole does.

jade quartz
#

And you can definitely pull more than two groups in Aurum Vale

fossil trench
#

Slight addendum to that

#

2 groups in the first room

#

Go Ham after first boss

jade quartz
#

Aurum first room was nerfed recently

fossil trench
#

Was it?

heavy wadi
#

In new aurum it isn't an issue.

fossil trench
#

Oooo

#

Maybe I haven't been thrown into aurum Vale since the change

#

That's good to hear though

proud acorn
#

there's is no way that's normal

jade quartz
#

Stacking cooldowns?

proud acorn
#

no

#

one after the other

jade quartz
#

That is fairly normal

proud acorn
#

usually storms path plus an early CD is fine

jade quartz
#

Means the pulls were taking a bit too long due to low dps

#

But that’s not an uncommon situation

proud acorn
#

ok

oblique skiff
#

casual playerbase after all kek

jade quartz
#

And since you don’t need any cds for bosses

#

It should be a manageable issue

#

Regardless sounds like a problem with the dps not the healers

#

Remember big pulls are a much bigger effort for the healer than they are for the tank

#

And if you weren’t dying despite pulls being large and taking too long, you had a good healer

#

Using rescue to make you come forward isn’t the most polite way of going about it but it can be understandable

wind zephyr
#

does food buffs and meds still gives stats boost at older raids like bahamut or alexander if we go in with synced max ilvl?

proud acorn
jade quartz
#

That has nothing to do with how good the healer is

jade quartz
#

Just means they were impatient

proud acorn
#

griefing makes a player bad imo

jade quartz
#

That’s not griefing

proud acorn
#

he was rescuing me into packs

heavy wadi
#

Good thing it's not griefing.

#

Because you were going slow.

jade quartz
#

It’s slightly impolite but no way is that griefing

proud acorn
#

and away from bosses

heavy wadi
#

?

oblique skiff
jade quartz
#

Away from bosses?

heavy wadi
#

There's no time they could rescue you away from a boss into packs of mobs.

proud acorn
#

twice in trash rooms, once in cyclops, once in the malboro at the end

#

not into mobs in the boss rooms, in the trash rooms

sleek needle
#

There aren't bosses in the trash rooms

proud acorn
#

sigh

heavy wadi
#

You have to beat the trash to get to bosses.... you can't skip them

proud acorn
#

ok

#

listen

#

in the trash rooms, I was pulled from one pack of 8 into another medium pack

#

in the boss rooms I was pulled away from the boss, out of melee range

oblique skiff
#

they mean that they were being pulled into packs and were getting pulled away from bosses
seperately, not both in one rescue

proud acorn
#

two separate instances of rescue being used, neither for good reason

sleek needle
#

Ah makes more sense

jade quartz
#

Trash rescue sounds understandable

#

The trash ones had a reason

proud acorn
#

except the healer had run ahead into the other pack he was pulling me into

jade quartz
#

Yes

#

That’s why orally understandable for a healer to do if they feel you’re too slow

#

More polite to ask you to pull more

proud acorn
#

except it was not slow

jade quartz
#

It was slow

proud acorn
#

I was pulling a ton and he could barely keep up

jade quartz
#

If the healer could handle more then you were too slow

heavy wadi
#

It is not griefing to rescue you into more trash.

#

Anyways, your question was answered.

jade quartz
#

Hey look, we’ve already been over this

proud acorn
#

sounds p griefy to me but idk

cold quarry
#

better spot to heal?

jade quartz
#

Again

#

Did you die

proud acorn
#

almost

oblique skiff
#

blur name but
their reason is awful

jade quartz
#

So no

#

So he could handle it

proud acorn
#

ok

heavy wadi
#

You didn't die. They were a good healer.

jade quartz
#

The only hp that matters is the last one

#

You were pulling too little for their liking

proud acorn
#

I've run that dungeon a ton, and never been yoinked and never gone lower than that

#

yet in the screen shot he complained about how much I was pulling

cold quarry
#

healing rule in this game is as long as it's not 0 it's all good

jade quartz
#

If your hp went super low, but you didn’t die, that’s how you know the healer was good

#

That’s how it works.

fossil trench
#

Bear in mind, that healers who cure 1 spam to keep you topped up all the time are bad

proud acorn
#

still the complaint about me pulling to much

jade quartz
#

The healer was healing efficiently.

oblique skiff
#

lyon
their reason wasnt tank being slow
their reason was out of range of heals

proud acorn
#

lmao

#

this is like banging my head against a wall

jade quartz
#

If the healer was running ahead and pulling more and then pulling you into it

proud acorn
#

take care everyone I'm going to do something else

jade quartz
#

It just sounds like poor communication of what they were doing

cold quarry
#

definitely could use communication ye mewpaissa

jade quartz
#

Because that’s quite clearly just pushing for bigger pulls

oblique skiff
#

yeah
im putting you in a better spot to heal

fossil trench
#

It's aurum vale

jade quartz
#

Just dumb way to explain it lol

fossil trench
#

Non drama, smooth aurum Vale runs are a rarity

boreal storm

Anyway question answered, let’s move along

#

just a quick question anyone, does having properly melded ilvl 600 gear make a difference on lower tier synced content?

boreal storm
#

Sync ignores materia

modest igloo
#

at least up to e7

unkempt idol
#

so, would an ilvl 580 perform the same as an ilvl 600 on say, a1s, since it's synced?

modest igloo
#

#

!faq ilvlsync

How item level syncing works

When gear is item level synced, melds are ignored and built-in stats are instead capped at the stat cap for the synced item level. For substats, this is the higher substat on an HQ, dungeon, tome, or raid gear piece of the same type at that item level.

For example, accessories at i475 naturally have 88 as the high substat, so any accessory above i475 will have both substats capped at 88 when synced to i475. Substats are NOT scaled up, only capped.

i600 synced to i475:
Substat A: 127 -> 88 (max 88)
Substat B: 89 -> 88 (max 88)

Note that in some cases this is slightly worse (for parsing purposes) than using a melded item from the same tier as the content was originally released, but the slots in which non-synced gear is still preferred will depend on the content, the job, and the gear.

unkempt idol

oh coolio, thanks much ^^

flint pollen

any one can help me with this

boreal storm

Would help to know with what

flint pollen

the " Lonely Giant" sightseeing log and i am in the correct spot and weather but i can see the giant but i cant seems to hit the spot that would say i have vista

i have been pacing back and forth in the area to find it

according to the cheat link i got from the web said it should be easy

flint pollen
#

i just did it and i was pacing to find the spot

#

reason i pace carefully so i can find the correct spot

but i did find one thing that was different from the picture on another location and i am thinking the spot may differ on the console when it was done on pc

boreal storm

Again use the guides from gamerscape, as they know what they’re doing

flint pollen

im using that oo

#

no luck but im going to keep trying till i hit the spot correctly

boreal storm

Dude, the page has exact coordinates. If the vista isn’t there, the conditions aren’t being met and you gotta try again later

flint pollen

i had it but now i got to find it again

it's basically over paissaowo

You could also try and teach them their classes

is reaper good at lvl 50 though? i feels like he lacked core mechanics at lvl50 but i saw someone says his stats are busted at low level

Right so I've gotten to the point in the game where all I have to do is grind for BIS. I've got 600 hours in the game, and every single second of it has been on WAR. I don't really feel like grinding for BIS as a new one will probably appear anyway in a couple of months here, so I'd like something alternative to do. Here's a few ideas I've come up with.

  • Hunt all Elite Marks
  • Become an Omni-Crafter
  • Level a different class

Any other ideas of what I should do? Any recommendations or votes out of the current choices?

boreal storm
#

Do what you want

pure zenith
craggy radish
#

I don't know what I want that's the problem

boreal storm
#

So just do things then. Anything

cold quarry

pick one at random paissaowo

craggy radish
#

Available on WAR at least

cold quarry

tbh I'd say to level another role

I think that'd be a fresh experience

am i right or starting zones change by classes right not by race?

cold quarry

by classes yes

topaz veldt
#

Yep by classes

heavy knot
#

hmm nice

How long do you guys think it would take to max level all DoH/DoL jobs?

topaz veldt

if you don't grind to death I'd say like 2-3 weeks

midnight tinsel

Or pvp

craggy radish
cold quarry
#

that's pretty fair paissaowo

I'd rather do something more productive than try and beat one raid for 1 or 2 pieces of equipment that I may or may not get and will no longer be BIS in a few months.

speed of DoL/DoH levelling is really just a matter of how much money you're willing to dump into it

I think either doh/dol or level another job

jovial quarry

we dont have any stats other than that though

also isn't that like jobs with most parse and not how many parse with it

anyway game's balanced so everyone play everything

#

it comes down to preferences

obsidian patio

There’s less healer and tank jobs compared to DPS

So while WHM may be very popular, there’s simply less choices compared to choosing a DPS class

It's the only house in the server and will probably have 100 people trying for it so unlikely

#

How long do you guys recon it'll take me to fully level a BLM vs a Botanist

umbral dune
#

botanist should be way faster

#

the moment you can do collectables, it's just getting faster and faster, not to mention we have leves

midnight tinsel
#

But why those 2 ?

craggy radish
#

Regarding glamours, let's say you are wearing gear for a botanist but want to look like a BLM. Is that possible? To glamour BLM gear over botanist gear?

craggy radish
midnight tinsel
#

One i combat

#

One is gatherer

craggy radish
#

retainers

midnight tinsel
#

Ah

obsidian patio
#

the pre-50 caster gear is all-class, so you can use some of that stuff

umbral dune
obsidian patio
#

but that's it, basically.

autumn anvil
#

You would need to find job-agnostic gear that looks fitting for a BLM.

craggy radish
#

Damn, the Bonewicca Whisperer's Mask would look badass on my retainer

#

Too bad both of em cant have it

#

oh well

#

Don't mind my seemingly random train of thought here

#

In your opinion, who would you rather play? Who would you rather see in your team? Scholar vs Astrologian?

obsidian patio
#

You're comparing a shield healer to a regen/throughput healer, so it's not a totally fair comparison in that aspect.

#

Personally I don't mind either in my extreme trial farm parties, but I generally like Astrologian due to stronger party buffs.

midnight tinsel
#

Depends on the raid

#

Astro can cheese stuff

#

Scholar has expedient

obsidian patio
#

Yeah, Expedient is a godsend when the whole party needs to move fast for mechanics, like the quadruple planet explosion thing in the 6.1 Extreme trial

It is different, yes. Please don't clutter the help desk channel with general commentary, though.

jade quartz
#

run level 87 dungeon

#

or do roulette if you haven't today

#

or do daily arkosodara quests

bitter herald
#

ktisis or waiting for daily reset yeah

#

solid fog
#

What does "activate linkshell" mean ?

#

o.0

jade quartz
#

set that linkshell to your default chat

leaden ginkgo
#

Which roulette? Any? I never do them so they're all ready

jade quartz
#

same effect as typing /l1 in chat

leaden ginkgo
#

Hoping trial will suffice

jade quartz
#

You should be doing your roulettes daily for huge exp

bitter herald
#

yea levelling will be best

solid fog
#

It does not change my chat though

jade quartz
#

the good exp roulettes are Leveling, Alliance Raid, Main Scenario, and Frontline

solid fog
#

when im activating a LS with right clicking option, my chat still stays "say"

jade quartz
#

Trial roulette is ok for the shorter amount of time it takes

jade quartz
solid fog
#

Also noticed you cannot change the number order of Linkshells but you can on cross world linkshells

leaden ginkgo
#

I only want that 1/3 of the bar to continue msq

jade quartz
#

somewhat useless function

leaden ginkgo
#

I never do roulettes bc I am still on my first job

jade quartz
midnight tinsel
#

#

vocal basin
#

Where do I get lvl 80 tomes gear

cold quarry
outer mural
#

oh wait the campaign or the temporary status?

#

returner status:

Players who have not played the game in 45 days or more, and have at least one class or job at level 50 or above, will now receive the Returner status icon1.png Returner status.

Players who receive the Returner status are eligible to accept the Returner's Bounty, which consists of the following:

Access to the Novice Network.
An EXP bonus when partying with a Mentor up to level 20.
The Returner online status icon.

Player search can now be used to find players who have set their online status to Returner.

#

the campaign needs you to manually invite a friend who's been out for 90 days, whenever it happens

#

not sure if it's up rn

dry bobcat
#

Up to level 20 lol

#

All my Jobs are 30+

inland marsh
#

faint flare
#

Savage no

inland marsh
#

i guess the mechanics makes it a hassle

faint flare
#

And you don't have the dps

inland marsh
#

ic ic

#

thanks for answering ^^

alpine spade
#

I am confused. The crafting tutorial said something about how a touch option always decreases condition to poor but it... doesn't? It just fluctuates and that's it.

#

did I not understand something?

faint flare
#

Using any action decreases durability

#

Condition will only go to poor after an Excellent

#

And you can't have 2 special conditions back to back

frosty forge
#

whats the difference between the hunting boards at the grand company and in ishgard?

heavy wadi
#

the one in ishgard is for hw.

glossy flare
#

each expac has its own board, catering to the zones of that expac

sturdy rose
#

Eh ... Life of a dragon only had 20 second soo i am guessing we are only expected to get to do two Nastrond ? At lvl 74 dragoon atm

cold quarry
#

that's 78

glossy flare
#

oh sorry yeah

modest igloo
#

wait life is only 20s at 70?

glossy flare
#

at that level only 2, yes

modest igloo
#

i thought that was shb

#

oh wow

alpine spade
#

If I understood stuff correctly, Craftsmanship increases the amount of progress gained and control increases the quality points gained?

#

or am I confusing something?

faint flare
#

Correct

stone plank
#

I was told you could buy Crysta with prepaid/gift cards but it won't process my order. Is it worth going to support or are they likely to just send me in circles between them and visa?

alpine spade
#

Is there a stat that increases CP or does that happen with leveling up?

faint flare
#

The CP stat

#

Gear just has it on it

alpine spade
#

Is it just called CP?

faint flare
#

Yes

alpine spade
#

also do tools influence it or armor or both?

cold quarry
#

I think you have to increase CP with accessories

alpine spade
#

oh, I see

cold quarry
#

tools have their own stats

faint flare
#

Typically accessories have the large brunt of it

cold quarry
#

yeah you'd rely on it for CP

faint flare
#

And you meld CP into other pieces

alpine spade
#

What accessories have cp for example?

faint flare
#

Any crafter accessories

alpine spade
#

Also what do you mean "meld cp into other pieces"? Is there a materia for that, and if so how do I obtain it?

modest igloo
#

and the best way to get them is primarily scrips, which is unlocked later

alpine spade
#

ah

alpine spade
modest igloo
#

same as combat accs

alpine spade
#

what are combat accs lol?
