Hi
I just reached Eden normal raids and was wondering if spamming them was the best way to get the "best" equipment (outside Savage and Copied Factory) ?

torn kindle
#

There's also upgrading the crafted gear and the Phantasmagoria stuff, but yes

steep epoch
#

About the Phantasmagoria, will they keep the weekly limit after the patch ?

supple sail
#

no, Phantasmagoria will be uncapped

#

and the new tomestone, Allegory, will have a weekly cap.

steep epoch
#

Ok, I see
Thanks for the information guys dab

manic current
#

what happened to the datamine channel ?

manic current
#

damn... that really sucks 😩

#

thanks for linking that!

woven nymph
#

what's your best sources for eden savage macros currently? I've got e1 and e2s but got told today that they're not the optimal ones

#

I tried to google them but they're kind of everywhere so thought would be worth a shot asking here

thorn bear
#

I think if you google amaya strat

#

you'll find macros for it

woven nymph
#

thanks for the pointer!

lyric summit

"casual player"

glossy ibex
#

lol casual

quick verge
#

wow

#

they really got spooked by casting during motion

foggy latch
#

and no brd buff

#

so those 2 will still remain shit it seems

turbid steppe
#

Alright who predicted the 20 potency on 2-3 skills for red mage earlier. Cookies for you blobnomcookie

glossy ibex
#

Yeah it's a very tiny buff :/ And they also buffed BLM in the process

#

And whm dps for some reason?

foggy latch
#

its more for aoeing

#

only matter in E1S like fight

heavy mist
#

what do u mean buff blm LOL

#

its a nerf for 2+ targets

foggy latch
#

foul not weakened that much in aoe

heavy mist
#

same for misery

foggy latch
#

when alot there

glossy ibex
#

wait, it's a nerf? let me reread

heavy mist
#

it was 90% for 2nd. 80% for 3rd 70% for 4th 60% for 5th and 50% for the rest

#

since foul says 10% less

foggy latch
#

will yea

#

its kinda a nerf

heavy mist
#

same for whm

foggy latch
#

but not that big

heavy mist
#

its same text

#

yeah its just for aoe

#

and 2+ targets

glossy ibex
#

The way I read it was that it never gets lower than 25% less

heavy mist
#

oh i guess

#

after 4

#

its buffed

#

was thinking about raids and like 2

#

targets like in tea

#

and the ifrit/garuda coming up

foggy latch
#

100 + 75 + 75 + 75 + 75 + 75= 475
100+90+80+70+60+50 = 450

#

its a nerf til 4

#

past 4 its a buff

heavy mist
#

nerf to blm in tea who aoe with foul

glossy ibex
#

And in dungeons more reason to pull big I guess

stable basin
#

idk why they gotta keep nerfing aoe like that

#

who cares if we blow up a dungeon pull with a couple dcrits

glossy ibex
#

None of the changes makes a lot of sense tbh

savage locked behind msq is confirmed

quick verge
#

is it confirmed how many quests there are before unlocking savage?

steady pebble
#

msq isn't required

#

happy's on the first msq for 5.2 and in e5s right now

sweet blade

According to Yen, just the optional quest after E4

oh

#

Hello

#

I need your help guys

#

Where can we unlock the umbrellas in game?

dusky root
#

Hi guys, I want to start playing this game, does the base game have Heavensward inside? I can only find the base game and Shadowbringers on steam. :x

steady pebble
#

heavensward and stormblood come with shadowbringers

dusky root
#

So if I buy the base game only, I can't play Dark Knight and Aura race? o.o

sweet blade
#

You can not

steady pebble
#

correct

#

you'd need to either buy shadowbringers, or just buy the complete edition to get everything

dusky root
#

Okay, ty! ^^

#

Does it matter if I buy it on Steam or externally?

steady pebble
#

if you buy on steam, you're locked into steam for future expansion purchases

#

so if you're a deal hunter, then that can be a bit annoying since steam doesn't go on sale very often

#

upside is that you can use steam wallet to pay for sub/optional items

dusky root
#

Sub/Optional items? 😮

steady pebble
#

this is a subscription based game

dusky root
#

Does the region matter? Let say if I buy the EU version of the game but play in Japan servers

steady pebble
#

you need to make sure that the region you're buying for is the same as your mogstation account

#

but it doesn't matter for the servers themselves

#

can play on EU while being in NA if you want (Tho the ping will probably be terrible)

dusky root
#

mogstation account...?

steady pebble
#

!faq mogstation

storm frostBOT
vale dagger
#

Be funny if Savage is cleared before noon

steady pebble
#

its the account you'll use to play the game with

dusky root
sweet blade
#

Sure but I wouldn't trust G2A

dusky root
#

Does this include the base game or is it just a standalone expansion?

#

Best female aura voice?

dull radish
#

this isn't a general questions channel, it's tailored for endgame. You'd be better off asking questions over in #questions-and-help , or for more opinion-based stuff like that you can ask in #general-discussion

dry lynx
#

One message removed from a suspended account.

dull radish
#

like if you really want the umbrella one isn't too far off (but I still wouldn't consider it best suited for this channel). But asking about purchasing the game/choosing a voice is definitely better off elsewhere

knotty pebble
#

Where do you exchange Goetia?

dull radish
#

revenant's toll, that's where it always is for exchanging tomes like that

knotty pebble
#

Yeah, I just got situated in endgame this expansion so I had no idea. lol

dull radish
#

yeah no worries haha. It'll be like that for 5.4 as well when phanta tomes get pushed out like goetia did for 5.2

So how hard is ruby extreme compared to Hades?

foggy latch
#

about same difficulty

#

from my experience

#

checkpoint possible the reason they ramped up its difficulty

Someone finally got to the cutscene phase in e8s

but method's stream lagged and blacked out, so we never almost got to see it

twin thistle
#

are there any strategies you guys have on remembering what mechanics are going on in savage raids?
remembering the order, when its gonna happen, what to do, etc.
repetition?
i heard someone saying something about an act plugin
they said that 'a lot of player use it'
can i get your opinions of this?

strong timber
#

You remember them by repetitively doing it haha

loud cave

Keep dying to mechanics until you don't die > repeat

guide to e5s

vale dagger
#

Is E8S way harder than E4S?

quick verge
#

idk ask the people who are on e8s

vale dagger
#

Thats why I'm asking here lol curious how hard it is compared to titan savage

heavy mist
#

we dunno

umbral oyster
#

wtf do you do in cinder drift normal phase 2. Cant get past the enrage

smoky veldt
#

do dmg?

#

btw, is it me, or does anyone else thing they dumbed down on this new extreme and made it much much easier?

#

like its super recoverable on min-ilvl

foggy latch
#

thats EXs in general

#

but mechanics wise its still challenging to a degree

#

took me a while to figure out the rotating claws safespot at the start

heavy mist
#

yeh same

loud cave
#

you dps the meteors in p2 normal

glossy musk
#

Wait...normal? Just...DPS

#

Don't stand in AOE

#

stack for stack markers

#

that's it

stable basin
#

mmmmm do I go for the 2.42 set that sims 200 dps higher but will definitely make me drop some blood weapon hits or 2.38 that's comfier but lower dps ponder

foggy latch
#

meanwhile i didnt bother looking at my bis to this day

#

i just know what to get as i480

prisma patio
#

Am I right in thinking for E6N, in the final phase when they're merged the two tanks should be next to each other pretty much all times to get ready for the stacking mechanic? Wiped so many times because one of the DPS couldn't run to me in time

nova socket
#

e6n?

#

stacking mechanic?

quick verge
#

the enumerations

nova socket
#

oh enumerations

#

idk just do e2s spread lul

#

You don't fail if you overstack in enumerations in normal anyways I think

#

Also how does a dps fail to get to you when you should all be next to each other anyways 🤔

prisma patio
#

There was a lot of running and flailing around going on yesterday

#

For my part, I've never done savage so that's why I wasn't aware of that mechanic at first

dapper pike
#

Hm E8S says you gotta be 480 to enter. How will people break the ilvl ?

#

crafted gear?

lyric summit
#

that plus queueing as full party ignores ilvl req

dapper pike
#

oh right

nova socket
#

everyone whos on e8s has crafted gear

foggy latch
#

oh yes

#

there is that enumeration mech

#

i saw the rotating triangles

#

and just followed the guy going away

dapper pike
#

dude E7S must be a nightmare lol

#

reg one was fun

foggy latch
#

those with facing target with actions will like E7S

#

gl keeping that uptime going

#

when u need to teleport to your meteor

quick verge
#

i mean it's just a mech you have to get better at

#

does the direction you get teleported to change each time the mechanic goes out?

foggy latch
#

yes

#

u can get 1 out of 4

#

like E3S

#

and iirc u cant see where teleport take you

#

look at your debuff

#

and hope u know the distance

lyric summit
#

yeah you can

foggy latch
#

oh nvm

quick verge
#

if you couldn't guess where you tp, then the mech would be impossible

#

or see

foggy latch
#

debuff say

#

which direction u get teleported to

#

they added many new mechs in this tier

#

guess it will be best tier

7s feels cancer for now

did it improve to gavel now?

from hello world

It doesn’t display the thing on savage

lyric summit

5s and 6s seem pretty easy

strong timber
#

The teleport

#

Jesus fuck

lyric summit
#

yes it does

foggy latch
#

it does

smoky veldt
#

ah yes, the teleport, confusing af

lyric summit
#

spearya spreading misinformation for 900th time

foggy latch
#

i thought it doesnt

smoky veldt
#

you literally dont know where you are teleporting to when you are stacked together

foggy latch
#

i said iirc

#

read again

strong timber
#

Oh

#

That

#

That is kinda annoying

#

Like why is that a mechanic

#

It’s so hard to turn properly haha

foggy latch
#

its savage

uncut charm
#

its easy if you change to classic camera mode

foggy latch
#

its supposed to be hard

smoky veldt
#

thats why its called savage

strong timber
#

No but like

lyric summit
#

it's just forced march but you get teleported

strong timber
#

That’s a different kind of hard

lyric summit
#

nothing new

strong timber
#

It’s annoying hard

#

Not fun to do hard

#

But then yeah

#

It’s savage

#

It is what it is

smoky veldt
#

its also annoying since it stops your casting for like 5 seconds

foggy latch
#

dude

#

i hate remuh already

#

u cant arm length most his pushes

quick verge
#

aren't you ranged

foggy latch
#

and it give u 1- 2 secs stun

#

yes

quick verge
#

ok i will now proceed to gatekeep suffering because you play ranged

#

my MELEE uptime

stable basin
#

hey guys

quick verge
#

you won't understand the suffering i go through when that fuck jumps outside of the arena for that fourteen mechanic bullshit

nova socket
#

fuck fourteen

foggy latch
#

well

quick verge
#

i had to like, use piercing talon for the first time in my life yesterday

foggy latch
#

my group put me last on fourteen line

#

so i cant gcd him

#

or dance

#

gonna deal with it for 1st kill

#

but not later

nova socket
#

our first kill strats are big pepega as well but we still kill it kinda early so its ok

quick verge
#

i actually don't know when/what the enrage for ramuh is

#

but it's the first floor

nova socket
#

no idea either

quick verge
#

so the dps check being lenient is expected

foggy latch
#

its after 3rd fury fourteen

quick verge
#

esp with mechanics that fuck uptime

nova socket
#

theres a third fury fourteen?

foggy latch
#

yes

nova socket
#

lul

foggy latch
#

we end up 2 at 26%

#

1st time they put long fight as 1st

#

it last around 12 mins

#

maybe 13

nova socket
#

all the fights are fucking long

quick verge
#

it is a long fight

#

it felt like my 3 mins came up 6 times

foggy latch
#

1st fight barely cross 10 mins line

nova socket
#

5 n 6 are actually really easy idk how did we struggle so much yday with them

lyric summit
#

6s is just tenstrike shaker spam

foggy latch
#

tanks almost dont have mechs in 5 at least

nova socket
#

wut

#

did you have dps handle the add?

foggy latch
#

outside the add and the dash

quick verge
#

add is like

#

the hardest mechanic in the game

#

unironically

#

ive never seen someone's spirit break more than with that mechanic

nova socket
#

wel yeh, but e5 has like no mechanics outside of the add and plague

#

and horse pushes

#

Also the boss does less damage then original trial ramuh LuL

foggy latch
#

we got good strat for chain

#

triange strat

#

tank range healer

#

and melee can wack with no issues

Quick question, which quest leads to that scene with Cid throwing up and that character from the Ivalice raids?

Oh no wonder I couldn't find it lmao

#

Thanks

sweet blade

Isn't it in the MSQ?

just wait for e6s where MT buster is an alien abduction

rose atlas

no the second buster he does

smoky veldt

just tell your static that you want to change to a dps

ah right yea

the one where nael comes down from the sky and hits you

but easily killable

rose atlas

god imagine doing ruby weapon and you just get hit by a fucking nael mechanic

smoky veldt

but in ex there are two

but the ex requires alot more dmg to kill the bombs

I have the same thing for Geir

holy shit E6S is busy

chains are final major mechanic there i guess?

after fire tornado the actual shitstorm happens

polar iron

wait the mount that drops is actually ramuh? LOL

vale dagger
#

What a mount drops this tier?

dull radish
#

yeah the E8S mount is indeed ramuh

vale dagger
#

Was their a mount in Sigmascape or is this something new SE is doing?

dull radish
#

dunno why you'd single out sigmascape but yes there's been a mount from the 4th fight for each tier since creator

#

would say every fight since gordias but midas was just a minion

vale dagger
#

I always assumed they skipped the 2nd tier

#

Thats probably why, because of midas lol

#

Least this mount is cooler

#

Titan Mount was a let down

foggy latch
#

imagine being stuck at E8S enrage for 8 hours because u didnt kill adds

rain gale
#

yup those lips are huge

stable basin
#

that enrage looks tight af regardless

#

tps has an absolutely stacked dps comp with incredibly good players and they killed at the very last second with no deaths

lyric summit
#

did they post any povs yet?

torn kindle
#

I watched Sfi's BLM POV

#

lemme grab the link

lyric summit
#

thx

foggy latch
#

hmm

#

they got her to 0.1%

#

but she didnt die still

#

or im missing something

#

remind me on nm ver

#

where she dont go to enrage phase til she finish her mechanic

stable basin
#

where didn't she die at 0.1

foggy latch
#

she stayed at 0.1% for few secs

lyric summit
#

what time in the vid

foggy latch
#

at very last secs

#

14 mins in

stable basin
#

she stays at 0.1% twice as long as 0.2% because 0.1% covers the range of 0.19% down to dead

foggy latch
#

green mirror do mech in 5 secs after boss

#

red do it after 10

foggy latch
#

hmm

#

last part of E6S isnt as cancer as i thought it is

#

but definitely harder than any mechs combination til sword phase

lyric summit
#

it's literally 2nd panto change my mind

#

run around the boss as tanks bait cleaves

foggy latch
#

im talking about

#

past panto2 like mechs

#

expected to see plumes more than once

#

but guess not

foggy latch
#

so how hard E7S compared to any mechs heavy fight?

lyric summit
#

thew black/white voidgates look the hardest really

#

then maybe add phase

#

there's a pretty easy teleport early into the fight where t/h to go set positions, dps go to correct corner depending on tether

#

and after that a tunami-ish thing but everyone gets the same thing every time

#

then it's adds which you need to drag around the arena cause one of them walks cw/ccw on its own while there's in/out aoes and a teleport+2 stacks, and they need to die at the same time

torn kindle
#

Savage portals absolutely boggle my head because both color portals are on both sides of the arena

#

when i watch videos

lyric summit
#

they only come out of the right ones, that's all you need to look at really

torn kindle
#

ahh.

lyric summit
#

and if it's going to same or opposite portals

#

if it's opposite portals on left and right then the safespot switches

#

it's similar on the black/white but more thinking cause you want the opposite portal each time, so same portals mean a switch

#

kinda double negative

polar iron
#

e7s is not bad at all, you just have to figure out the patterns really

#

After you get past figuring out the portals its similar difficulty as e6s imo

nova socket
#

after u figure out how the portals work its a pretty simple fight

delicate oracle
#

I can't even get past e5s, all my pf runs have been unlucky so far

foggy latch
#

well

#

E5S supposed to be harder than E2S

#

so its expected

#

What can I use grand company seals for except glamour prisms?

foggy latch

this is endgame channel

flat roost
#

Is there anything that'd benefit me in endgame, like for selling in the market or?

delicate oracle
#

Maybe, I gave up on it and now im trying to look for a static instead

foggy latch
#

static would work better

#

gc stuff are easy to get and obtainable by many other means

#

Yeah, gonna have to try to join one if I wanna continue doing these raids on savage

it's like day 3, savage with a pug is gonna take a while

quick verge
#

first floor usually goes down easily in pugs

#

but this is like

#

the hardest first floor in

a long while

dull radish
#

at least it balances out with how lenient the dps check is

lyric summit
#

well, with it still being week 1 it's still quite hard to prog and carry gray parsers with i469 paissapeek

quick verge
#

respecting content prog

nova socket
#

You can have like hard grey dps it doesnt matter cus the dps check is so low

as long as people know mechanics its should be super easy

i'm only a level 64 samurai so i haven't touched endgame content but i was wondering how difficult are the harder raids? can anyone learn them or are only the the best players going to be able to beat them? when i see streams on twitch i get scared and anxious about learning all these new raid mechanics / strategies.

anyone can learn them, you'll beat it if you can put in the effort to learn

So what's the safe ilvl range for E5-8? I just barely scraped by E6 today. I tried E7 and we couldn't pass the dps check

455 is enough for all of E5-8 normal

Then I guess the party just sucks... Felt like it took so long just to do E6. More time was spent rezzing everyone over damage.

For me it was TBN, Rampart, and Dark Mind. That is what I had available to use at the time.

Popped in to ask a quick question, but is there a way to figure out which stat one should meld on a combat class? I hear it's DH on PLD, but I'd like to know, or see if I myself can figure out the reasoning on that. Like is there such a thing as too much DH? Little crit can't hurt, no?

unkempt flame
#

There's no obvious in-game way, mostly just people doing the math. As far as I know, crit is the strongest stat for tanks, followed by dh for everything but WAR, and det for war

#

skillspeed if you need to hit a specific tier

foggy latch
#

crit>dh=det

Interesting, I'll need to see if I can find some numbers on PLD for 5.2

Just incase anyone is interested, I put together a quick guide the way my static handled things in e5s might be an interesting strat for people.

undone breach
#

Im not triple, but can anoyone explain the mirrors in E8? Doesnt even need to be savage but i have been hit every time

lyric summit
#

on normal they just repeat the mechanics the boss does

#

so a donut on the boss gets repeated as donut on each mirror, so standing right near a mirror will be safe

#

or it it's axe kick/huge aoe on the boss then mirrors will repeat the huge aoe on cardinals and middle of the arena will be safe

#

didn't study savage povs for it yet so dunno how it works in savage, there's like different mirrors that go in different order depending on the border/size or something

undone breach
#

I knew it reflected but couldnt figure out where the safe zones were. Like when she does the pizza minus a slice, is it the area between the mirrors or the far corner.

stable basin
#

Mirrors in savage fire off at different times

#

blue instant, green after short delay, red after long delay

lyric summit
#

if she does a pizza slice then the mirrors do a pizza slice too, so any edge should be fine

cause they do like a

so i guess the side not opposite of both mirrors

Alrighty. Hopefully next week i can manage to not get hit at least once. I did learn the hard way that the final ice block takes up to much space to disengage by like 1 inch lol. Foot hit and slid off

#

Also is Titania and Innocence mount drop rates maxed now? Or does it increase over the whole expansion?

torn kindle
#

It’ll probably increase one-two more times based on Stormblood

undone breach
#

Alrighty thank you

pastel cobalt
#

@undone breach For the "Pizza minus a slice" thing, the mirrors basically just do a giant circle aoe, so you run far away from them after avoiding the attack from Shiva. When you see 4 mirrors you can be sure it's either Axe Kick or Scythe Kick, and when you see just 2 mirrors, you know it's the cones (run toward mirrors), or pizza missing a slice.

4 people are chained and can't go too close (and too far[?]) to each other
4 other people get orbs that eventually shrink
3 sets of towers, 4 then 2 then 1
2 proteans, just after the first 2 sets of towers
you start with 0-2 stacks of a debuff that you can't let hit 5 and get 1 stack every time you get hit

#

The way we're doing it is
Chain people take first tower while orbs kite out to the edge
Chain people stay put and take protean while orb people take second towers
Second protean on chain people
Whoever has three stacks goes in to take the last tower

not too hard, or shouldn't be

might be funny coming from me but, during the latest dungeon on the cyclops boss during the squares mechanic, is the "proper" way to do the mechanic to go on the last spawning set and go in the first set that explodes after it explodes or is there a "proper" way?

steady pebble

if he drops hammers first, hammers is going to explode first

#

if he drops swords first, it'll be swords

So stand on the one that will explode 2nd, and move into the first set's square once it does

Question about Ruby Weapon Extreme. For the first dodging of the claw, how can you tell whether to go north or south. Example, claw is right go north, claw is left go south. Thanks in advance

uncut gate
#

depends on if the final dash starts left or right the first claw

#

(or was it whether he first dashes left or right?)

tall flint
#

Dashes left or right. I know I've been told in the past that the direction that he has the claw out (left or right) depends if you go north or south

stable basin
#

Basically

#

You look at it when it puts its claw out and dodge left or right

#

then you look at the last arrow and dodge in the same direction

uncut gate
#

based on a rough paint drawing - if he dashes west (left), right claw you go south, left claw you go north

#

except i don't think about it in terms of n/s, i just go from the safe spot into diagonal of the first claw path and the last path

lyric summit
#

you stand in front of it when he takes out a claw, and you see that you go left, then he dashes through you, along the wall, and you go left of that next wall pos too

uncut gate
#

it's hard to visualize from text, and a top down diagram is also confusing since you won't be seeing it from that perspective

lyric summit
#

don't need 4d chess about his claws being there on this dash or that dash or anything

uncut gate

i'd suggest just look up several clears with several versions until you get used to predicting the correct spot

if you dodge claw left then you go in front of him then dodge left

So... is it recommended to just skip phantasmagoria gear for allegory and Eden Verse gear? Takes a bit longer, but you don’t have to deal with immediately replacing any of the gear until extreme content or next patch

torn kindle

Allegory and Eden Verse are both on weekly lockout/caps, so you'll still need some amount of Phanta gear while you wait for the lockouts.

Or you can go the Gil route and Buy the i480 Neo-Ishgardian crafted set.

Currently sitting at like 465. Can do all content that requires weekly farming. Well, all but extreme of course. So I’m not entirely sure I need any of the Phanta gear. It feels like a waste. Sure, it would make the content I’m doing a bit easier, but I can already clear the content I’m at with the gear I have....

To clarify, I do have a few pieces of aug deep shadow gear and the weapon of course, but anything else feels a bit like a waste of time now lol
