who can turn the mats into gear

remote gate
#

atl Provoke atr atl Shirk atr atl Do you have it? atr

zealous meteor
#

anyway, if you want 750 gear just get augmented ceremonial with gil and helio

loud nymph
#

yes they do

zealous meteor
#

cool

remote gate
#

whats easy ways to get a ton of money because getting crafters and gatherers put together has been expensive af

loud nymph
#

run maps and get very very very lucky

#

run eureka and get very very very lucky

#

run chaotic

remote gate
#

im assuming lucky bunny is what gives the good amount of cash in eureka

loud nymph
#

mostly for getting rare minions/mounts like copycat bulb or eldthurs horn

#

or getting blitzring

#

or cassie earring

#

etc

torn kindle
#

Farming fragments can be very good money both in eureka and bozja

zealous meteor
#

i made 2 mil off a furniture item from khloe's silver shop

torn kindle
#

Also there’s doing Pilgrim’s and getting very lucky

rain geode
torn kindle
#

Can also join mercenary parties for the Gil reward

dull drum
#

its basically a weekly and after a bit you can sell a mount for like 6 mil

#

0 effort

loud nymph
#

unreal definitely good just get your 0 effort clears in while you can

#

tsukuyomi is gonna be a lot harder in pf HAHAHA

zealous meteor
#

gulp

#

but yeah seiryu is literally free

#

and im saying this as a fucking idiot

loud nymph
#

the year is 2017, you are wiping to meteors in tsukuyomi ex

the year is 2021, you are wiping to meteors in tsukuyomi ex unsynced

the year is 2025, you are wiping to meteors in tsukuyomi unreal

zealous meteor
#

ackshually tsukuyomi ex released on 22 may 2018

#

not 2017

dull drum
#

you can also sell tome mats for money

#

forgot if that was alr said

dapper zealot
#

you can sell tome mats for money

rain geode
#

I've been doing unreals for the lols glad to hear they will eventually make me money

loud nymph
rain geode
#

Doing two exs a week isn't exactly a huge time commitment either tho people have been making it sound like the next unreal might take a bit more

loud nymph
#

yeah for seiryu it's literally like 20 minutes a week

zealous meteor
#

my tell this week took three tries pained
retell was one pull though

rain geode
#

My tell/retell was first pull

#

Which was nice

dull drum
#

it should be or the pts disbanded

#

like how do you wipe that fight

#

😭

loud nymph
dull drum
#

its funny how suzaku ex is ironically much harder

torn kindle
#

Because god forbid the melee DPS disengage from the boss to put a meteor north/south

loud nymph
#

melee DPS: take two GCDs of downtime or wipe the raid

#

"oh boy here I go wiping the raid again"

rain geode
zealous meteor
#

always a malera

rain geode
#

Seems to happens a lot less when I play tank tho strangely

torn kindle
#

SE needs to hate melee jobs more

#

“Yes, you do in fact need to disengage from the boss to not wipe, deal with it”

zealous meteor
#

over halfway done with my gummies now

loud nymph
#

then they buffed the melees

#

and turns out cruiserweight really didn't have that much downtime

#

so why did you buff the melees square enix

torn kindle
#

Isn’t p6s like 100% uptime

#

Well, 99% with the forced leaps

loud nymph
#

assuming you mean m6s but yeah it's full uptime except for the wingmarks

torn kindle
#

I hate these letters

loud nymph
#

and I guess maybe if you got bomb during cactus

zealous meteor
torn kindle
#

I guess the bomb mechanic DOES fit the wish I have

#

But you gotta give more DPS bombs

loud nymph
torn kindle
#

I wonder what the hell people are gonna do when they release a raid series where we can’t just use the first letter

#

We almost had that happen this expansion but then they titled each duty as a match

#

Almost a universe where we would’ve called these fights ARC#

loud nymph
#

I still say arcadion should have been R instead of M

versed kayak
#

worst case we just give it arbitrary letters that are left

torn kindle
#

“Why are we labelling the Four Lords Remake Raid Series as X#?”
“ran out of letters”
“Have you guys tried using more than one for a name”
“Last time we tried that we sacrificed a streamer”

versed kayak
#

just need SE to cooperate and give the series names that don't use existing letters

rain geode
#

Um what do you mean we sacrificed a streamer

torn kindle
#

Next raid series is entirely formatted in WingDings

torn kindle
#

He was kinda cool too

versed kayak
#

we can also just start using greek letters even if it'll be a little hard to type

#

or slap accents on them, À6S instead of M6S, it surely won't cause confusion

proper cave
#

Memes for the sigma floors are going to be extra stupid

zealous meteor
dreamy whale
#

Can I set up my party list in advance

versed kayak
#

You can change the default order based on the jobs

dreamy whale
#

Like tank at the top instead of me

versed kayak
#

but if you're in a CW party, no I don't think so

zealous meteor
#

...i don't think you'll ever be a slot other than 1?

dreamy whale
#

I see

#

Well thats ok

#

I have r3 set to target of target

#

Can swap to tank fast

torn kindle
#

You’ll have to manually adjust the party list or use macros for changing who’s at #1

#

(Trying to find that macro for moving party list slots)

#

You can do something like
/psort 1 2
/psort 2 3
/psort 3 4
And so on until you’re at the spot you want to be at

dreamy whale
#

Does sch have ogcd healing other than lustrate and indom at 60

versed kayak
#

probably your fairy regen

torn kindle
#

Whispering Dawn if that counts

dreamy whale
#

Forgot faerie spells

#

Should i be using lustrate over adlo if i have extra stacks of aethercharge

rain geode
#

Generally speaking you should prioritize oGCD heals over GCD heals

rapid whale
#

somebody drop the healer meme

#

mb

rain geode
rapid whale
#

the "i gcd heal everything" on the ends with the omg if i dont optimize etcetc in the middle

#

this one

#

the one i was thinking of was more refined tho with like xiv stuff on all the characters

rapid whale
#

there it is lmao

#

astro

dreamy whale
#

Astro is scary for me

#

Fear of messing up the super strict and fast burst

rain geode
#

Do they have a super fast and strict burst?

sick dirge
#

they have a lot of weaving to do but idk about a fast and strict burst

random needle
#

It's probably the most complex one of the healers for whatever it's worth, but it's still doable

#

It's mainly the targeting the specific DPS that I can understand getting antsy about

sick dirge
#

performing the opener despairge

dreamy whale
rain geode
#

That's only a few ogcds

dreamy whale
#

Its mostly the weaving

#

Selecting the right party member for each card within the weave timing is super stressful

dapper zealot
#

someone explain to me why card draw is 55 seconds

jolly flume
#

it was 60 before and if your gcd wasn't a perfect divisor of 60 then you'd microdrift it over time because your weave timings are limited on a job with castbars

#

for example if you had a gcd of 2.47 you'd cast 24.29 gcds per minute which means every time your draw comes up it's 0.7 seconds later in your gcd roll

#

which means you either hard clip or drift it even more into the next gcd's weave window

#

it was absolute cancer

dapper zealot
#

am I meant to be staggering my draw somewhere to align it with divination at 2m?

jolly flume
#

yeah you just dont draw off cd

#

hold your lord/balance deck into divination

#

the 55s is basically just drift mitigation it's intended to be used as if it was 60

dapper zealot
#

ahh

#

I was kinda half doing that

daring pine
#

chiyo

#

r u down for more climbing

jolly flume
#

im about to go make food

#

maybe after

#

idk

#

depends on how fast pt fills ig

daring pine
#

im turning u into food

wintry elbow
#

is there a heavyweight or is that not out yet?

dreamy whale
#

Savage will be in January

wintry elbow
#

i did them and didn't get a 2.0 tomestome for my weapon, did i do something wrong?

daring pine
#

you need to exchange 4 of the cruiserweight holosaber from m8n

wintry elbow
#

what is m8n?

daring pine
#

the 8th fight of the raid series

proper cave
#

Match 8 normal

daring pine
#

howling blade

#

the 2.0 tomestone also drops from M6S

#

aka sugar riot

wintry elbow
#

so the M4 cruiser?

daring pine
#

yes

#

cruiser m4

#

cruiser m2 savage drops it also

wintry elbow
#

i need to keep doing the cruiser m4 until i get 4 holosabers?

daring pine
#

yep

#

so just do it 4 times

#

you're also gonna need 500 tomes of mathematics

wintry elbow
#

that was a tuff fight, i just followed the other tank 😄

daring pine
#

@jolly flume gg

clear plume
#

Damn not invited

dreamy whale
#

What jobs have 9 or less weaves within 20 seconds

daring pine
loud nymph
#

that's an oddly specific request

clear plume
#

Most casters and healers not named ast

jolly flume
#

6 energy drains in chain be like

#

idk why weaves in 20 seconds is a metric you're going by though

loud nymph
#

BLM I guess would be one

clear plume
#

I take it as in like able to single weave opener for why he’s asking g

dreamy whale
#

Yeah

night anvil
#

hello; please forgive the silly question. I scrolled through the channels on the left hand side but couldn't quite find a quick answer to this - where's an appropriate place to post PF recruitment on this server?

#

(if anywhere)

jolly flume
#

dont you play on na now anyways

dreamy whale
#

I can usually double weave but sometimes I can’t so

clear plume
#

It’s a global server so they just don’t really have a channel for it

loud nymph
#

what are you PFing for?

dreamy whale
#

I might be getting slapped by animation lock

night anvil
#

we're pfing for p9s on a North American DC - and will follow up with p10s and p11s. working on some TOP criterion BiS farm.

dreamy whale
#

I probably just need to press my buttons a little slower

loud nymph
jolly flume
#

top bis in anabaseios?

clear plume
#

Top bis isn’t 9-11

night anvil
#

err; criterion BiS'

dreamy whale
#

Warrior
Fell cleave , Upheaval>Onslaught>Fell cleave

jolly flume
#

no

#

you press them fast

loud nymph
dreamy whale
#

Im pressing them shits like

clear plume
#

You’re overthinking what you need for criterion just sync current gear down and the 1% diff is fine honestly it’s not hard dps check even in savage and the extra hp helps (it syncs to 665 instead of 660 so it’s less bad)

dreamy whale
#

Literally frame 1

#

Kara canceling even

rain geode
jolly flume
#

hes playing on na from na

clear plume
#

The difference between gnb and pld is triple the difference between gnb in bis and gnb in synced gear (assuming ew relic still)

jolly flume
#

if you miss the queue window

loud nymph
#

the only animation lock you need to watch on WAR is on primal rend, can only single weave after that

jolly flume
#

thats MASSIVELY too early

night anvil
dreamy whale
#

Still 100ms

clear plume
#

You can play on double that without weave issues

jolly flume
#

that isn't enough to stop you from double weaving on a slow gcd job

dreamy whale
#

I must be pressing too fast then

dapper zealot
#

send a clip

dreamy whale
#

Im at work but I will when I get home

torn mesa
#

you are probably pressing it too fast, before the next queueing window opens

dreamy whale
#

Yea im literally like

rain geode
#

I had that problem real bad when I started playing VPR

dreamy whale
#

Thumbing over in a frame or two from onslaught to upheaval

#

Like actually kara cancelling it

loud nymph
#

yeah then you probably need to slow it down a little bit

jolly flume
#

this game runs at grandpa speed

loud nymph
#

think of it like a metronome

#

ONE two three FOUR five six

dreamy whale
#

Yeah when i wait like

#

Idk how to explain it my brain conceptualizes gcd as ticks

#

So i wait 2 ticks and press and i can double weave

loud nymph
#

you can practice on a dummy and time your weaves so they are at like 1/3 and 2/3 of the GCD spin animation

jolly flume
#

if you said the second skill never came out

#

that would've been an instant tell

dreamy whale
#

Yeah it never came out

jolly flume
#

but like

#

just mash the first button a few times then mash the second button a few times

#

this aint tekken

rain geode
#

I just do runescape timing and that seems to work

loud nymph
#

I don't know what a kara cancel is I assume it's some runescape shit

#

but you don't need to be giga fast on your weaves

rain geode
#

Kara cancel is a fighting game technique where you cancel the start up of a move with another move

loud nymph
#

oh so just animation cancelling with a different name

dreamy whale
#

Its a specific type

#

Where you hit one button and then another one within 2f

jolly flume
#

idk even intuitively with no knowledge of the game systems I don't think this feels like a game where anicancels exist lol

rain geode
dreamy whale
#

Lemme see if i can find the best example

loud nymph
#

I understand that is guilty gear

#

I don't know what I'm looking at aside from that

rain geode
#

And when I say "runescape timings" I just mean .6 seconds

#

Since that's how long a tick is in runescape

jolly flume
#

.6 is more or less your baseline here

dreamy whale
#

You use his dash and then cancel the startup into his command grab

jolly flume
#

technically it's like .58 or some shit but

rain geode
#

That's also a poor clip to explain kara canceling as it's far to fast

jolly flume
#

with the queue window and all it hardly matters when you press it as long as it's not like literally one time right as your gcd starts rolling

rain geode
loud nymph
#

Yeah this is not a game where you need to get far into the weeds of timing your ogcds

rain geode
#

It's also why I like 2.4 GCD I can go "oh it's 4 runescape ticks"

#

But this game (mostly) seems super lenient with abilities timings

loud nymph
#

It really is

dull radish
#

since the first oGCD just queues pretty comfortably and you can just kinda mash the second, double weaving is pretty forgiving/free in most cases

#

don't have to worry about nuanced timings or anything

loud nymph
#

generally the only thing you have to think about is "does one of these ogcds have a longer animation lock"

#

and there's very few that do

#

stardiver, for instance

#

or assassinate

#

and assassinate doesn't matter at max level because DWAD has usual lock

#

I guess you also have to think about "is this a GCD I can only single weave after" but again, these are pretty limited

#

primal rend, iaijutsu

distant knoll
#

primal rend my behated

slender lichen
#

if youre on pc just get noclippy

loud nymph
#

etc

loud nymph
rain geode
slender lichen
#

slightly cuts down the animation lock of ogcds so its easier to double weave

#

its how the vanilla game should be tbh

#

not this jank shit

rain geode
#

Isn't that kinda cheaty?

#

Although I'd agree that it should probably just be in the game

slender lichen
#

no because people who have lower ping already experience this

dull radish
#

it's a pretty gray area, but regardless in most cases other than especially higher ping or trying to triple weave/double weave stuff with higher animation lock you can do it pretty fine and reliably without noclippy

#

just makes it a bit more responsive/feels a bit better. But not like, needed to be anywhere near successful in anything

rain geode
#

I know ping affected the delay of actions switching but it affects the animation lock itself?

slender lichen
#

no

#

when you have lower ping it's easier to double weave

loud nymph
#

No, it doesn't directly cut down your animation locks

slender lichen
#

since you cant lower ping artificially

#

the next best thing is to just cut down the animation lock

#

so the end result is similar

#

albeit it won't help you with dodging aoes or whatever

loud nymph
#

as I understand it, it basically simulates lower ping so you aren't waiting for the animation lock longer than you should

dreamy whale
#

Okok

#

I was just worried

jolly flume
#

it tells the game to let you weave at a time it calculates based on the RTT of a combat packet

#

instead of waiting for the server to tell your game the same

dreamy whale
#

I wasnt sure if i was getting clapped by fps extending the “first possible gameplay frame” out of the buffer window

rain geode
#

So it simulates what the length of your Ani lock would be with better ping and lowers the lock of the animation to accommodate.

slender lichen
#

yes

#

moreso it simulates the lack of delay but sure

dreamy whale
#

Im probably gonna get the steam machine in 2026 so i can get noclippy and simulate 60 ping

dull radish
#

if you have especially low fps it has the potential to be a bit problematic as far as input frames are concerned (or for particularly higher end/tighter opti in general it can be a consideration) but it's pretty hard to like, GCD -> oGCD too fast and have the oGCD not queue properly

rain geode
#

That is very grey

loud nymph
#

not sure if this is still true but you used to be able to use xivalexander and noclippy to simulate negative ping and that most certainly was abuse

slender lichen
#

if you think so

daring pine
#

@jolly flume i dont think the dragons like me

loud nymph
#

but if you're just using it to accomodate for square enix's shitty godawful netcode

#

it's something that should be in the game by default

dull radish
#

I think it's a definitive gray area but something that's pretty broadly considered reasonable regardless under regular use cases

dreamy whale
#

Yeah im just gonna use it to get down to like 60-70

dull radish
#

like, it's definitely a bit sketch in how it works and how it can be abused, but if it's used more normally to even the playing field it's like, generally fine

slender lichen
#

you can't decide how much to lower it

dull radish
#

well you "can" but realistically just leave things at default and vibe

#

don't open pandora's box

rain geode
#

Yeah I think it's a bit to far over the line for me to want to use it but certainly not far enough that I'm gonna complain if others do.

slender lichen
#

i'd say it's only really a concern if you already have low ping and want even lower ping for whatever reason

#

then youre going to do weird things like quadruple weave

rain geode
#

Tho hopefully if your being that egregious someone in one of your games would notice in a parse and call you out

loud nymph
#

FFLogs will definitely notice if you pull that shit and invalidate your parse.

slender lichen
#

the game itself would know

jolly flume
#

fflogs has automated flagging for criminally low animation locks

#

lol

dull radish
#

and even on edge cases that aren't automatically flagged, if you're getting like top ranks people are looking thoroughly at those logs for potential abuse

loud nymph
#

People take top parses very seriously nodders

jolly flume

it's not like it's hard to tell

Hey, I just came back to this game after i don't know, a year and a half break. I'm at the final trial in DT but it requires 670 gear and the MSQ didn't give me that. I'm at 665 or something. Where is the gear acquired?

jolly flume
#

the msq should've had you stop by a vendor in tuliyollal that gives you 690 artifact gear I'm pretty sure

dreamy whale
#

So would it be better to refresh aspected benefic under mantra at 1s remaining or wait until mantra is almost out to cast aspected benefic at all

austere jay
dull radish
#

depends on when you need healing, you generally won't need to have full upkeep of HoTs

dreamy whale
#

Okok

dull radish
#

snapshotting them under buffs can be a nice situational consideration but in many cases won't make much of a difference, and if you have the luxury to be that flexible with the timing of it you probably didn't need the first (and/or possibly second) in the first place

dreamy whale
#

And im playing scholar so it it ok to keep my tank around 50% because i get scared and stressed bc i know adlo shields get eaten pretty quick

#

And if i use lustrate too much i lose out on sacred soil

dull radish
#

your goal is to keep people alive, to keep them safe

jolly flume
#

if you're at a lower level range sure

dreamy whale
#

Im at 61

jolly flume
#

at 80+ your tank's hp shouldn't really be dropping that hard anyways

loud nymph
dull radish
#

you're not beholden to keep people at max as much as possible, but just at a comfortable range that you know you can keep them up without struggling

#

depending on gear/level/etc that threshold may change

#

but it's excessively rare to need that % to be 100%

jolly flume
#

at 61 you don't even have the core preventative tools anyways

#

you're just a shittier regen healer at that stage

#

so you more or less just play it like one

#

you start getting the good stuff at 70 and up

rain geode
#

As long as your not over healing your probably fine it's not like casual content has an enrage that will screw you over if you used a gcd heal or 2

dreamy whale
#

At first i went in like “i wanna play summoner so I’ll just level with scholar and drop it” but im really liking sch

jolly flume
#

even if it's overhealing

#

as long as you're not literally pressing adlo every gcd

#

who cares if you cast a few extra shields out of caution

rain geode
#

SCH is fun especially when you get to the point where you actually have some good buttons

dreamy whale
#

No i usually spam broil and then im like “oops tank is at half”

rain geode
#

I'm considering bringing it to the next tier

jolly flume
#

you get excog at 62 which is your first "I don't need to pay attention to you for a while" button

#

after that you just get more and more

dapper zealot
#

I find it funny healing at 100 is so much easier than lower levels

dull radish
#

in part due to having more tools but also generally most people just like, generally overgearing content they'll run into

rain geode
#

It's on a weird curve

jolly flume
#

consequence of job design over the years and level sync not working as you'd expect

zealous meteor
#

excog is a mitigation, right? neofox_angel

rain geode
#

Excog is a heal...

dapper zealot
#

Smh, sch main btw

jolly flume
#

it's a mitigation if they don't get one shot

#

shrug

zealous meteor
#

i'm well aware that it's not a heal dw

rain geode
#

All healing is mitigation for death

jolly flume
#

if it heals back 30% of the damage they took

#

that's equivalent to them taking 30% less damage

#

just don't get one shot!

dull radish
#

everything can be mitigation in the right frame of reference

#

np

dapper zealot
#

Not running the duty is 100% mitigation

jolly flume
#

that's my usual strat

rain geode
#

Disconnection is mit

jolly flume
#

if I see a duty lower than level 80 you bet your ass I'm using my 100% mitigation

dull radish
#

it's so funny in a raid when you have someone targetted by like a major mechanic but they are DCing

#

so like, you don't have to deal with it at all

#

doesn't always work that way, but when it does

4 am 2 seocnds away from passing out lets do fru

neon wadi
#

does nobody run Chrysalis or is this a bad time of the day

pale blade
neon wadi
#

I gotta get thru ARR somehow tho

pale blade
#

I think it would benefit SE if they turned it into a solo instance

trim frost
#

hop on furcon

trim frost
pale blade
neon wadi
#

You literally walk into it solo

#

as part of story

pale blade
#

that is not what we mean

neon wadi
#

I was saying that, per story, it would make sense to have a solo instance yea?

pale blade
#

Not really story but the trial is genuinely a headache, especially when brainlets are involved

trim frost
#

based on how they treat story these days it would make more sense for it to be a solo instance over an 8-man trial too

pale blade
#

yarp

trim frost
#

cuz we gotta whip out the azem pen every time we go somewhere normal people shouldn't be able to

thin tartan
#

er

#

go

#

uh

#

this is spoiler mines for you

pale blade
#

That too

#

But also Chrysalis gameplay-wise fucking sucks

#

Changing it to a solo instance would not only benefit the game but would also lower barriers in MSQ; further it would save many players the headache of having to run through it

#

When people pop into Chrysalis, nine times out of ten at least one of the seven others are audibly groaning

#

Getting rid of Chrysalis as a trial would not be a loss

#

Unless you’re a FFXIV boomer desperately clinging to old glories and unable to let go

trim frost
#

post-arr bottlenecks at the trials because it's a lot of new people's first time needing to queue with other people for stuff

#

so trimming the fat where possible can only be an improvement

#

and hey while they're at it maybe nuke the relic reborn trials and at least two of the hildibrand trials

tired egret
#

or just solo instance

#

works either way

trim frost
#

it's so far removed from current fight design that it really has no reason to exist as a trial

#

and like

#

if you asked players today if they knew that buffs get extended 10x before getting sucked into the white room i'd wager the majority of them would say no

tired egret
#

....

#

just make the buffs get ignored by the extension

thin tartan
distant knoll
#

#

now everyone* (*mostly the tanks tho) has to do the aetherial tear bit normally

#

though yeah just nuking chrysalis would not be that bad

#

the only notable things in the fight are the towers in aetherial tear phase when a dps wastes lb early and like, triple tb on the clueless df tanks

You want to be capped on maths when 7.4 comes out right?

visual geyser
#

That’s the one with no weekly limit

#

If so yes

#

So you can sell the tomes to gear nerds for a couple mil

rain geode
#

Maths is the current weekly capped helio is the uncapped

cerulean crown
#

yeah, be as capped as you can on all of them

rain geode
#

So if I'm currently capped on maths how many can I afford to spend and stay capped?

valid solar
rain geode
#

So 450×however many weeks until 7.4

#

Which I think is 4?

random needle
#

Patch drops on Dec. 16, so working backwards, you have the weeks of Dec. 9, Dec. 2, Nov. 25, Nov. 18

#

And if you haven't already hit 450 this week, technically also the week of Nov 12

#

So about 1800 tomes of leeway, assuming you cap every week

loud nymph
#

I was doing this math earlier today I was able to spend down to about 400

#

and still if I cap everything in the next weeks

#

will be capped going into 7.4

rain geode
#

I capped this week and am at the 2k cap so I can in theory spend down to 200 and as long as I cap every week I'll be good.

#

Sweet good to know

(I wanted to buy some 750 gear for the ex)

#

How does normal raid drops work when they're limited?

proper cave
#

You get only one token from the chest pool. One per floor. You can run as often as needed until you get it.

rain geode
#

So you get up to 4 tokens per week.

loud nymph
#

Yes

#

And the exchange rate works the same way as when the drops are unlimited, so 4 tokens = 1 chest or legs, 2 = head/gloves/boots, 1 = accessory

#

so if you get a chestpiece that's all you get for the week

random needle
loud nymph
#

The blade token from m12s will also be weekly locked, and it takes 7 blades to exchange for the savage drop - so 7 weeks for a weapon if you don't get the weapon token from m10s

rain geode
#

And it's 3 weeks until savage? So youd be able to get about 3-6ish 770 pieces from normal raide before the tier on top of a few 780 pieces from current tomes then you fill the reset with 770 crafted gear

loud nymph
#

Granted you'll be halfway there by the time savage drops, but still

#

Yeah, savage is delayed by 3 weeks, so it doesn't go live until Jan 6th

#

Which means you have potentially 1800 limited tomes before you even step foot into savage

rain geode
#

Wouldn't it be 1350 or am I missing something

loud nymph
#

you're forgetting the extra 450 from the week when savage drops.

rain geode
#

Right it doesn't take that long so you can grind it out before your start

loud nymph
#

so you can buy a tome chest/legs, head/glove/boot, and an accessory

#

before even stepping foot into savage

rain geode
#

Like you can buy one from each of those categories or do you actually get all that?

clear plume
#

That counts the week of unlocks tomes as well so if you’re alarm clocking you need to cut one out but one of each category

rain geode
#

So you get a chest or a leg, head or glove or boot, and an acc for 3 780 pieces total

loud nymph
#

yes

#

one from each category

#

which is a ridiculous amount of tome pieces to have going into savage

#

especially when you consider usually your best in slot is like, 5 or maybe 6 tome pieces

dreamy whale
#

Does alexander have any body checks in normal or can i desync it

loud nymph
#

you can unsync it

rain geode
#

Do I have any options for 770 weapon or is it just crafted?

loud nymph
#

775 from ex

#

You'll have 775 relic too, though it hasn't been announced whether that'll be in 7.41 or 7.45

#

But with 3 weeks with nothing to do but ex, plenty of opportunity to farm train

rain geode
#

Gotcha so make sure I farm whatever the ex in 7.4 is as well

loud nymph
#

train

#

but yes 🙂

rapid whale
#

since you can only overmeld crafted gear

rain geode
#

I should probably learn how overmelding works as well huh

loud nymph
#

it's really not hella necessary if you're not going for w1 clears

rain geode
#

Can't hurt to know how it works regardless

loud nymph
#

it's only for crafted gear
you put 12s in the main slots
you put 11s in the rest
it can only be done by a player

#

that's basically all there is to it

random needle
#

Also you have to gamble

#

When putting Materia in normal slots, it's guaranteed to fit

loud nymph
#

yeah I left the part out where you burn 50 materia and fail to attach it

rain geode
#

So if gear has 2 slots I put 12s in there and I cant put 12 in the "overmeld" slots so I do 11s instead simply enough

loud nymph
#

right

random needle
#

I think the first overmeld is 20% odds? Something like that?

dreamy whale
#

Do waymarkers carry over between characters

loud nymph
#

it goes down to about 5%

dreamy whale
#

Tragic

rain geode
#

So you burn a lot of 11s if you bother with it

loud nymph
#

yeah

loud nymph
#

if you're, y'know, not on console

dreamy whale
#

Alas PS5

loud nymph
#

tragic

rain geode
#

Maybe I'll just use the 11s I have since I already have a stack but not waste Gil on more

dreamy whale
#

Im gonna get the steam machine tho

loud nymph
rain geode
dreamy whale
#

Should i have a crafter at 100 for pentamelds

loud nymph
#

you need one to pentameld, so yes

#

npcs can't do overmelds

#

so either you do it yourself or you beg/bribe/bully another player into doing it for you

rain geode
#

How much is the new crafted set usually at, I assume it won't be that bad given all the extra loot you can get but I wanna make sure I likely have enough gill to buy the pieces I need

loud nymph
#

I don't imagine it will be giga expensive what with the long wait for savage

#

couple million probably

rain geode
#

So 6m should be plenty to get my hands on it?

loud nymph
#

I would think so unless you're looking for it day one

#

the price will plummet real fast

#

supply is going to massively outpace demand

sinful brook
#

you're also going to need fewer crafted pieces off rip though i think

#

compared to previously

rain geode
#

Yeah that's why I'm assuming it won't be that bad

loud nymph
#

this is true too thanks to the long wait

sinful brook
#

i mean thats assuming your bis list doesn't say

#

tome chest/legs

#

because thats all your budget at once

loud nymph
#

I don't think I've ever seen a bis list where you want both

sinful brook
#

first time for everything

loud nymph
#

true, true

sinful brook
#

though that said i think even then your move would be one of those two and a head/hands/foot + acc

#

this is vibes based no math involved lol

#

so grain of salt

rain geode
#

Ok hopefully last loot question I only get 1 shot at loot per week but I can role on everything right? I know statics will funnel gear but in pf you can kinda just free for all and can roll on everything right?

loud nymph
#

yes

rain geode
sinful brook
#

yes you can roll

loud nymph
#

you only get one chance per week, but you can win everything

sinful brook
#

assuming you clear

#

and statics do different things depending on the group

loud nymph
#

and with PF you should assume everyone else is needing on everything

rain geode
#

Obviously you don't get loot for not doing the content

loud nymph
#

you get your clear, you get a book. that is your guaranteed loot

#

everything else is up for grabs

#

even if you win none of the coffers, you got your book

sinful brook
#

statics that aren't week 1 have less purpose in funneling gear to dps

#

not that they can't/don't but if you clear week 8 that extra dps gear doesn't make a difference lol

dreamy whale
#

Hey how come sometimes when i use adlo on someone who’s low health it goes crazy and gives them an insane shield

Crits

daring pine
#

eukrasian diagnosis can also crit fwiw

craggy marsh
#

Always keep your crafter happy

dreamy whale
#

Rinon was talking about raiders doing like a weird strat where they would heal only at super low hp to get more limit break so i thought it was a clutch heal mechanic

loud nymph
#

nah, just means you got a crit haha

#

the "heal at low health for more LB" thing is a super niche speedrun thing

daring pine
#

yeah that's just a speedrun strat to get more lbs out

loud nymph
#

like that m6s speedrun I saw a while back that killed the boss immediately after adds

rain geode
#

I would focus on the fundamentals before worrying about wonky specific thi gs like that

loud nymph
#

unless you're speedrunning it's not something you need to think about ever

dreamy whale
#

Oh ok

loud nymph
#

you can see their HP dipping up and down at the start because they're putting low ilvl gearsets on

#

by doing this they have LB2 after the first raidwide

#

they also hyper mit the TB and have everyone stack in it

#

for the same reason

#

for comparison's sake in normal play you might have LB2 around the start of adds

#

4 1/2 minutes into the fight

rapid whale
#

the game is wildly diff at the highest levels

#

you know how hard uwu is now that you've tried a few lock outs? @dreamy whale there are people here who've intentionally cleared it in challenge modes like 6 man (2 ppl instantly wall) etc

stop asking me to flex to melee!!!!

#

stop it!

#

i'm ignoring the second guy this is an adds cleanup pf idc if you're on millenial decay man

loud nymph
#

"millenial decay cleanup" really just means they got through it once and then died to the tracking tremors

#

I am an expert in translating PFese

#

anyway add phase is pretty fuckin chill you got this

daring pine
#

yeah it really doesn't seem that bad, i just need to hope i get people that don't have shit for brains

#

mostly the healers

#

if i get shitty healers then goodbye prog lol, welcome millenial decay

#

honestly most of the mechs in p1 dont seem that bad but i'll hold my tongue until i get to enrage

#

oh hey 2 dps joined

loud nymph
#

so TR is not bad but it's fast

#

beckon moonlight is spooky because you cram everyone into one quadrant

#

and it's also fast

daring pine
#

yeah i can definitely see people getting clipped during beckon

raw sand
loud nymph
#

but on the plus side

#

phase 2 is very chill

raw sand
#

phase 2 is basically an extreme

loud nymph
#

once you get to the point where you've cleaned up beckon moonlight you're 80% of the way there

raw sand
#

in terms of the mechanics pacing

loud nymph
#

the only part of phase 2 that's a little monkaSTEER is UV4

#

b/c you're going into it right after heroes blow 2 which is right after LWL

#

and if people don't book it to the starting platforms it gets dicey fast

#

but

#

the actual mechs leading up to that point are chill af

#

circuit looks spooky at first until you realize you have 8 trillion years to read it and just need to remember the order

#

twofold is easy

#

lament is easy

raw sand
#

circuit order never changes either, its just either cw or ccw

#

so u kinda just memorize it sooner or later

daring pine
loud nymph
#

really the biggest hurdle to clearing p2 is cleaning up the end of p1

daring pine
#

yeah quad doesn't look that bad actually

loud nymph
#

once you've done that it's not gonna be long

loud nymph
daring pine
#

unless a melee clips me

#

smile

loud nymph
#

because there should not be a C marker there

raw sand
#

I think most fails I see for reclear happened in TR, at least for my static

loud nymph
#

so sometimes the person on south gets clipped

#

because they misjudge the cleave

raw sand
#

Moonlight was cleaning up shakies during prog but reclear it wasnt too bad

sinful brook
#

My group had done small issues with quad moon because my mt would walk hella goofy

loud nymph
#

the biggest hurdle for me to moonlight was actually reading the safe spots fast enough

sinful brook
#

And clip me

loud nymph
#

my melee partner also tended to give me 0 room so I'd literally be at the wall and they'd still clip me

#

but once you clean that up

#

yeah you're like 80% done with the fight

wicked delta
#

this mentor shit easy

loud nymph
#

for the sake of providing numbers my very casual static raids 2x a week 3 hours a session, we got to TR in mid august and cleared about a month later

#

p1 is definitely the hurdle in that fight

rapid whale
#

yea p2 is p much shakey/study check

loud nymph
#

the one thing that's harder about p2 is it's harder to recover from fuckups

#

p1 is harder to execute but if you fuck up it's not necessarily a wipe

daring pine
#

just need to pray people actually join this

#

fucking pf

loud nymph
#

p2 if someone fucks up it can spiral fast

daring pine
#

a sam/dnc couple joined but left

thank god

drooling

loud nymph
#

if I wasn't about to jump into some bg3 with friends I'd be ur phys range

or melee I guess I haven't done it as melee but I have NIN bis and could probably flex to it

wicked delta

nevermind

#

thrown into dungeon instead

i'll put the melee combo somewhere else

how far r u now

just need 2 clean up adds

atm

#

pf is 6/8

rapid whale
#

as in you've gotten past it a few times but not consistently type shi?

daring pine
#

nah i havent gotten past it yet (hence the cleanup) because ppl keep griefing

#

although i can already tell somebody is going to cleanse too early and wipe the party

loud nymph
#

tbf I was so worries about adds b/c p12s is my only other savage add phase experience and p12s adds was pain

#

but m8s adds is so fucking easy

daring pine
#

dude

#

kinger

#

this ast was like

#

"i have a phys range coming" (there are already 2 ranged)

#

what the fuck is going on

loud nymph
#

I mean that's late patch savage post unlock

#

shit gets weird

daring pine
#

i mean it's doable i guess since we have a pct

#

but the pct wants to r1

#

and i'm assuming the prange also wants to

tulip wraith
#

oops, all prange

daring pine
#

there's only one prange silly

tulip wraith
#

wait FaunaPain

daring pine
#

rdm pct dnc

#

ok the lack of a party response is concerning @loud nymph

#

i dont think this ast was looking at chat when me and pct were discussing roles lol

#

ok we solved it, the dancer is going to fake melee which is interesting

loud nymph
#

that is odd

daring pine
#

it

#

is very odd

#

i've only ever seen casters fake melee
