so my WoL is based on one of my books' characters, but twisted to fit 14's world

She is basically a doll possessed by her creator's soul. She is extremely curious and apathetic. She creates other dolls and puppets to both possess or do stuff that could help her gain some time (those would be my retainers stalalaLMAO)

She wishes to study the world and using different dolls (which could actually be explained as to why one is able to create alt characters) allows her to watch over all things.

Life is a series of questions for which she seeks answers, no matter the cost. In her apathetic nature, morals are non-existent. If she must lay waste to the entire universe to find one single answer, it will be done. Mentions of considering compressing time itself out of sheer curiosity are recorded in her papers.

#

Also, the Scions and other people in the msq accompanying her are just means to her ends; she does not really care if they're gone one day, as it would be no more than drops of water in the ocean to lose them. For one that has lived for a long time through the use of multiple bodies, letting go of worldly things and people has become very natural, and her apathy only compliments that learned stoicism. Only the satiety of her curiosity truly matters 🤔

jsut read this and im curious about the part of

one of my books characters

elfin pewter
#

I happen to be a writer yes stalalaLurk

#

nothing released yet, but a lot of writing nonetheless

#

as a consequence of that, I also have a lot more characters stalalaScary

i know there are mods for it but heh

you get into that niche and it's mostly nsfw stuff

#

if I can't have them in ff14

#

I'll have them all around my atelier

but damn man, this dollfie business is so expensive

#

Spend all my free time posing and taking pictures

elfin pewter
#

man.............

elfin pewter
#

that would be so peak

#

I just need to be stable and at peace with my future home and all

#

I don't spend a lot, so money accumulates, which leaves a lot of room for such hobbies

#

soon™

#

it's so funny tho, how many times dolls or puppets or even plushies have been mentioned in 14 recently

#

and still no puppetmaster job or anything like it

I have an entire twitter feed I can and will dump if you tempt me

it's original to this dungeon

If there aren't any shared models listed, then the answer is no.

|| as i already don't like her to begin with, i think this was even worse for her character, as instead of repaying for everything hse has done to the people she killed and/or were killed in her name, she just couldn't cope with the realization she was living a delusion and just took the "easy" way out ||

paper flower
#

100% they make the dungeon gear from DT dyable as leveling gear in evercold

elfin pewter
#

or future raid crafted gear

unreal prairie
#

||I thought her character fell hard when she found out about the truth and just took a huge backseat from the story but in my mind it at least made sense for her to just fade away. 'At least they'll bring her up when necessarry and follow up properly on what's next for her'. Is what I thought. Then boom, sudden sacrifice scene outta nowhere that IMO is more of a detriment to her buildup so far than an acceptable emotive moment. Oh well.||

#

||If anything it felt like she was going to be a foil to the WoL as a long-term character. Someone chosen by the same goddess that choose us but doesn't have the same luck, resolve, etc. so her course of events is different (more unfortunate, partially because of her own doing, etc.) but eventually develops out of that.||

#

Dawntrail minor spoilers: ||Yo did I just see a CUTE AU RA with a CUTE PLUSHIE she better be a major character||

lucid lichen
#

Nooooo Dawntrail spoilers: ||Shes an ascian, damn you, why all the cute ones gotta be the bad ones||

elfin pewter
#

||I mean, from that scene alone, she doesn't seem actively harmful, hell, she's clearly afraid of us||

celest nexus
lucid lichen
#

||She announces and clearly aligns herself with ascians, which means her goal is the unification of the fragments; aka a baddie, no?||

celest nexus
lucid lichen
#

I just started current patch, I believe

elfin pewter
autumn vault
#

||always locked in when the ascians show up. Need them to give us the entire convocation and then give me an hour long ulti with all of them||

elfin pewter
#

||Must be noted that the whereabouts of Pashtarot are still unknown to this day, and his role was that of the "preserver of discipline and order."||

lucid lichen
#

Atleast atm ||she seems to very clearly be sane of mind AND willingly aligns with ascian||

elfin pewter
lucid lichen
#

||She also is very clearly fine with humanity losing lives enmasse to a greater goal, as seen by her support of calyx and spreading the method of summoning primals.||

#

||Which is kinda part of the whole ascian thing.||

#

||She may become a frenemy like many ascians have, but she very clearly is a bad girl imo||

elfin pewter
#

||The question I had when she revealed herself was "why would she help someone whose goal is to make people eternal?" like, what is the end goal of that? For what reason?||

lucid lichen
#

||From the few lines at the start of current patch it, to me it seems she just is standing in MC's way for some reason.||

#

||The comment about how now that mc has won gotta prepare for shit to go down||

#

||I could also thereotically see the eternaling thing eventually leading to a levin issue with the spread of electrope, alltho im not leaning towards that being the reason||

elfin pewter
#

||Ah I think there is some lost nuance in English for that part but I already forgot||

#

||Well, the important parts leading to Evercold will be answered anyway, so it's whatever||

#

really curious to see what will be in the second part of 7.5's msq

lucid lichen
#

how long till then

#

I dont remember patch cycle timing

elfin pewter
#

I think it's in November

July 28

elfin pewter

msq happens on 7.56 with beastmaster

#

ye november was for the fan fest

idle wren
elfin pewter
#

I love her a whole lot

#

So far, she seems to have a writing that is very on par with what I like

idle wren
#

||I'm not convinced she's going to be a new big bad though. I wouldn't be surprised if there was a second shoe to drop and we find out she's actually trying to prevent some bigger catastrophe from occurring. That's kind of the vibe I got from our interactions with her anyways.||

elfin pewter
#

are you caught up with msq?

idle wren
#

Largely. Haven't played last patch.

elfin pewter
#

ye ok

#

I won't speak further then

idle wren
#

I watched some of it but don't really remember the story lol

#

Nah feel free to spoil. I couldn't care less about DT spoilers.

#

I know about ||the winterers though. And she gave us some cryptic warning on the moon that I'm forgetting the content of||

elfin pewter
#

||But yeah, that's the thing, there is no proper "villain" this time around, which I like quite a lot. It's more like everyone wants the same thing, but the means to reach a common ideal are different. Our own actions are questioned as they would undoubtedly bring an end to things, while the sacrifice of a few may yet allow life to prevail. Halmarut is very pragmatic about it, while we, so far, have been very idealistic and blinded by our heroics. I think it is a very interesting turn for 14 in general.||

idle wren
#

Yep, I would agree with that.

elfin pewter
#

can see a lot of parallels with ff7 and the lifestream with this

idle wren
#

Yeah, that's the bigger catastrophe. ||now that that forces that were holding things in place are both gone there are new problems||

#

An ff7 themed expansion has always been a "break glass in case of emergency situation" lol. And DT has certainly been a situation akin to that.

elfin pewter
#

||It's everyone struggling to survive now, and as we were told, even among the winterers, there are clashing opinions, which I presume we will learn about. I wonder if Pashtarot is part of the group. His role is pretty big on paper; someone that overseers "order" itself sounds very formidable||

elfin pewter
idle wren
#

||we'll see. But I have half a mind to think that she isn't going to be the villain we're used to the ascians being and that some tenuous middle ground might be found. Could also go the usual ascian route too, but I wouldn't be surprised if they decide to subvert that.||

elfin pewter
#

Thinking about it further, since ShB especially, the msq's writing have had a lot of philosophical references here and there. We've had directly Utopia by Thomas More, as well as takes on nihilism and such

#

Going forward from now, I think references to Camus and the absurd could very well fit the themes

idle wren

Sadly, it is late here and I must stalalaBedge for work tomorrow

it was a blue mage update

I don't engage with mismanaged content HMPH stalalaAngy

idle wren
# woven oasis If you think about it, Evercold is basically Heavensward 2

I actually really hope this is true. I've been saying since before DT that I want another Heavensward like expansion ||where the scions somehow get split up and we're left stranded with only a couple of them trying to reunite and solve whatever gets thrown our way for the majority of the expac||

#

That isn't really the vibe I get from Evercold. But I think it'd be a good change up of the formula.

wind jackal
#

hear me out: an expansion thats basicly roguelite mode but in the new zone

idle wren
#

How would roguelite work within the constraints of an mmo though

rancid iron
rancid iron
#

Or Beastmaster special content

#

or that one pixel dungeon thing that came out like HW or some shit

elfin pewter
#

What if they make a deep dungeon where the rogue elements are based on lost actions and phantom jobs

#

This way, each run until completion/wipe, you get fun builds and adjust to what you get, instead of just pomanders

#

Also why isn't there a unique deep dungeon category for blue mages man

#

That would be so funny

rancid iron
#

RIGHT? Blue mage would literally fit the format PERFECTLY

#

But fuckin no

#

No instead Beastmaster gets it

#

Dude I hate what they've...

#

I can't even say done cuz it hasn't been

#

What they've not done with Blue Mage

nocturne frost
#

yeah. wasted potential is one of the top most annoying things in general and it really applies to blue mage.

rancid iron
#

That's why I look at Beastmaster and have to bite my tounge whenever people get hype

#

Cuz A I don't wanna ruin the mood and be a fuckin asshole

#

But B I see it and my Neurons are just flacid

#

Cuz I see it and I just see possibly wasted potential again

lunar citrus
#

i'm ngl

#

anything limited job does feel like wasted potential LOL

#

but i'm still kinda excited for beastmaster since it looked more fleshed out than blu to me

#

i didn't really like blu

elfin pewter
#

I'm thinking it could all be much better if they weren't short staffed

#

the amount of times they told something had to be "cut" to reallocate to something else

lunar citrus
#

blu is prob just the trial for limited jobs i guess

elfin pewter
#

like when they said "no new optional dungeons because we need to focus on this and that"

lunar citrus
#

and feedback was generally positive so maybe they allocate more this time

#

i cope

elfin pewter
#

mr ceo kiryu pls gib budget and staff

gleaming aurora
#

I wish they commited to the solo/overworld part of blue with carnival on the side for challenging content

#

BLU raiding is miserable, and BLU spell collecting out of patch can be miserable too to find a party for it

lunar citrus
#

i dislike the whole spell collecting shit

elfin pewter
#

I wish the overworld were more involved with the gameplay in general tbh

lunar citrus
#

which is kinda why i look forward to beastmaster bc this one seems to be more solo

elfin pewter
#

so far it's always been large empty maps that only conduct the msq and that's it

gleaming aurora
#

I don't mind the spell collecting, but I feels like 80% of the spell book is freaking wasted

elfin pewter
#

no sense of exploration, nothing to do

gleaming aurora
#

So it becomes a chore for completionism

#

this has me interesed in beastmaster

#

looking forward to it

#

yeah it feels pointless

same feeling as

noob question does the duty roulette go to lvl 60 at some point it's still at lvl 50 but i been unlocking lvl 60 dungeons now

rancid iron
#

It will randomly pick whichever ones you have unlocked so yes

celest nexus
#

leveling is any dungeon not at capstone levels so like 1-49, 51-59, etc

#

high level dungeons roulette is all dungeons at level caps like 50,60,70, etc

unreal prairie
#

oooh i see

#

but if a lvl 60 is choosen it'll delevel the party to 50 anyways?

#

if queueing through duty roulette

fierce snow
#

Delvel to 60

#

It matches dungeon max level

unreal prairie
#

i see

#

THANK GUYS

#

actually one last question

#

i was checking some shops that sell IL gear but ask for very specific currencies, do I get these currencies through specific methods or just by dungeonering?

#

something about primal gear and some other high IL gear

elfin pewter
#

poetics come from dungeons and roulettes mostly yeah

unreal prairie
#

im aware it's not endgame gear but it looks cool and I might want to get it for plates

elfin pewter
#

if you already have everything you need for progression, then yeah you can dump them on some of the glams you find nice

#

iirc, you should be around i270 at the end of Heavensward

#

well, by "end" I mean that these are unlocked once the 3.0 content is done, so you'd be doing the rest of 3.X with that gear into 4.0 content

#

and so on

#

but yeah

  • gather poetics by doing roulettes and dungeons
  • spend poetics on your gear for ilvl and stats
  • spend the overflowing amounts of poetics into whatever you like
nocturne frost
unreal prairie
#

etc.

#

some other shops ask for some other items

#

but not tomestones

gleaming aurora
#

Those are from EX trials

slim marlin
#

Oh, those tokens are referring to the extreme versions of the trials

unreal prairie
#

this girl asks for many different items too

gleaming aurora
#

Those are 8 man raids

celest nexus
#

those are from the "normal raids" you unlock them via blue quest

#

they arent msq but theyre pretty important to the whole game

slim marlin
#

If you didn’t do Bahamut, 8 man raids are an additional side story you can unlock and progress through the 12 fights available in that chain

celest nexus
#

every major expac has 3 alliance raids and 12 normal raids as blue quest to unlock

rancid iron
#

and starting from HW onward those 12 normal raids have a harder savage variant

#

ARR's unique in that they're already Savage its just that was literally the only version of that content we got at the time

celest nexus
#

i should also mention that those blue quest also unlocks more roulettes to do

rancid iron
#

EW guildhests

nocturne frost
#

also normal raids and alliance raids are easy to queue into. savage and extreme fights, even old ones, you usually use party finder.

celest nexus
#

expert, level cap, and mentor are only endgame roulettes, and guild heist are basically for 1-30 only

im assuming no one knows why?

Something something using hostile or aggressive language with ffxiv copyrighted material present on stream

Ah thats a uh

#

Touchy topic

slim marlin
#

He also got plucked into GM jail mid raid

fickle talon
#

Im surprised its not the mod

idle wren
#

Oh did he get banned on stream?

clever galleon
#

yeah

#

he was streaming m11s, gm pulled him out of the duty and jailed him

idle wren
#

I'm not a xeno viewer. But I may have to check the vod. Never seen gm jail before.

elfin pewter
#

it's a bit cramped in there, but you can see another cell and move around while you talk to the gm

celest nexus
#

i thought streaming with mods was a major nono since Yoshi P would consistently hint more towards "you can do it just dont show people" but the fact thats not what he was suspended for is pretty funny

fickle talon
#

Yeah; but the matter he was suspended for is kind of insanely touchy.

I can only think it has to be what happened recently

Was just looking for a timer but

#

I realize

#

I cant even hear the vod LOL

#

Cause phone mute at work

idle wren
#

I turned him on very briefly to hear him talk about it. Basically he has no idea what he did and they just said that he violated ToS specifically with something he did on stream during a stream, which is interesting, but were not allowed to provide further details.

He's a fairly divisive personality so I'm not surprised at the ban. Am surprised they took the angle of something specifically relating to Twitch.

fierce snow
#

Honestly theres like 3 things it could be all equally bannable so

elfin pewter
#

it's always the same, you may ask them specifically what you did wrong, but they will always say they can't

fierce snow
#

Harassment, mods, etc

#

Well

#

Harassment might be the wrong term

#

Whatever u wanna call all the twitter shit

#

Could be any one of the things really

idle wren
#

You talking about the Happy beef?

fierce snow
#

Yeah

#

Im sure there were flags that were ban worthy in that rant

#

Idk

#

Didnt watch

elfin pewter
#

if that's the reason, that would be pretty crazy since it's not related to the game

clever galleon
#

the gm said it was a moment where he said or took "aggressive language or actions" while having copyrighted content up on stream

clever galleon
#

so any logo, music, w/e has the ff14 copyright

fierce snow
#

Or the game itself

clever galleon
#

it's gonna be really hard to pinpoint unless someone really loyal scrubs thorugh this freaking 20 hr vods

#

lmfao

idle wren
clever galleon
#

we dont' even know if ffbot counts towards that "copyright"

#

the gm couldn't specify lmao

#

and that shit is now up 24/7 so

idle wren
#

Most of what the man does is rant to my knowledge, it is what he is known for. Being rager XQC style personality. So I'm sure he has lots of bannable stuff.

fierce snow
clever galleon
#

surprised it wasn't the mods lmaoo

#

it is what it is

idle wren
#

Like it was probably just a matter of time lol

clever galleon
#

TFW Happy literally tried to be a friend and got called that for his trouble

#

I swear Xeno is just trying to be asmon at this point and that's a TERRIBLE person to model after IMO

#

Doesn't help his chat keeps enabling him

#

But like ya say Keld shove your arm into the fire don't be surprised you get burnt

idle wren
#

I agree, but it depends on your goal I guess. People like Asmon and XQC do get lots of attention and thus make lots of money.

rancid iron
#

So do others and they don't have to be asmon or XQC to do it

#

Ya know?

Like I said, I agree with you.

# idle wren I turned him on very briefly to hear him talk about it. Basically he has no idea...

That's typical because they don't want you to try and find the guy who reported you. It's a snitch safety thing. Happened to me when a group of mentors had their whole fc report me for telling them how to frontline (after kicking me) back in 3.5. They mounted up like bots every time the enemy came by. I knew exactly what the incident was, but yeah....no appeals. Like....the appeal is after the sentence is carried out

rancid iron
#

Plus I suspect the way XIV handles its moderation is they get word take notes and then wait till a more egregious offense is done and then use both in conjunction

#

Like "oh uh-huh ACT mmhmm, ah I see mods mmk" scribble scribble and then just wait for a more egregious offense that then magnifies the punishment applied

elfin pewter
#

unjustified mass reports can get you banned, even if the reason for the ban is false

#

said reports can also overlook proper context and get someone banned in some cases

#

reports are barely reviewed sometimes it seems, but there is a possibility that "sometimes" might be an understatement

#

you get a bit of everything, really

#

sometimes the sentences are totally justified, some other times there is missing context and turns it all into a joke

#

I use this example a lot with this topic, but could you imagine playing a healer with a friend, use Rescue on them as a joke, and someone else that has nothing to do with you, decides for the both of you that they should report you for "griefing" your friend and gets you suspended for 14 days?

ok im a bit lost from reading guides so might as well ask 😅

how do i lvl DoH

#

want something to do ingame inbetween queues

gleaming aurora
#

you go to a npc vendor on major cities and buy mats to craft low level recipes

#

You can also spam leves

#

if free trials can even do those, but those are limited to 6/day but you can let them pile up up to 100

gleaming aurora
#

You need to be on the job

#

press N to open the crafting log

#

then if you have the materials

#

You can press craft on it

unreal prairie
#

the fking crafting log man

#

that's the part that i wasmissing

after crafting the first item, you can just quick synthesis for leveling all the way to 20

unreal prairie
#

hell yeah

#

is it worth to start completing the crafting log?

#

as in crafting one copy of everything

gleaming aurora
#

Na'

#

You can do it, and you get a Master Ring for ARR and the crafter relics for HW and StB

#

But it's not worth it

#

And you can just do it when you are max level

nocturne frost
#

If you eventually go insane and start going for achievements. Easier done later tho.

gleaming aurora
#

it's like an extra for when you have nothing else to do now days

#

i don't even know if the HW and StB one count as relics since they don't have a quest, I call them relics because they are unique and such

crude fog
#

very cute

idle wren
#

I don't have max level crafters on account but when I was levelling I did beast tribes allied societies for crafting/gathering too. I remember those being a decent chunk of xp for not a ton of effort.

question

#

what stats does DoH want

#

and DoL too

elfin pewter
#

anything that appears on their respective roles' gear

  • DoH: Craftsmanship+control+CP
  • DoL: Gathering+perception+GP
unreal prairie
#

THANK

elfin pewter
#

generally, every piece of gear will be "something something of Gathering/Crafting"

#

the only exceptions are the blue rarity gear pieces that you get with scrips (scrips are basically the equivalent of tomestones but for crafters and gatherers)

#

these usually have unique names

#

but you can't really go wrong either way, because they appear in the classes tabs when you go to trade said scrips

crude fog
#

I use this site to plan my equipment

#

you can view essentially what lvl and what gear you should use

#

but I suggest you just use gear from lvl 21 and doing the Firmament at Isgard until you level 50 on and just buy gear using GC seal

been having fun crafting but i feel like without market (free trial) it's a bit more tedious cuz the npc shops don't sell materials up to a certain point unless u are in higher expansions (was noticing that StB shops sell materials for lvl +20 crafts but I'm still in late HW) phonge

#

gonna just park all at lvl 26 and retake later

gleaming aurora
#

Good

celest nexus
#

yea crafting gets a lot of its benefits from the mb so w/o it, its not really worth it

elfin pewter
#

everything gets much easier if you level your gatherer as you do your crafters

#

however

#

your inventory

#

good luck with that

#

once you're up to date, it gets better, but the road to current max level is a test of space

rancid iron
#

Yeah so what I recommend if you're going the MB-less route

#

Keep things connected within a boundry

#

Or a theme

#

Like smithing get miner if you're gonna level blacksmith and/or armorer

#

That way the gatherer is related to what you're levelling

#

and don't destroy yourself levelling EVERYTHING at once

#

Peacemeal it ya know?

#

Cuz I tried that everything at once shit and I wanted to throw myself off the nearest building it was soooo tedious

it's not like you're statistically losing much

elfin pewter

nah not much

#

if you're already planning on mass producing, it doesn't change anything

Yeah but to get to the point of mass producing is much effort.

Most mechanics that place a number 1 to 8 on players are called limit cut

low night
# lucid lichen whats a limitcut

It's any mechanic that has to do with numbers in xiv. Players love to name some stuff after the name of the first cast ever coming to the game about it

gleaming aurora
#

Because the first mechanic or the most notable mechanic that did that for the first time was called Limit Cut

rancid iron
#

or chariot and dynamo

slim marlin
#

The real G’s know there was prio before snakes got involved

rancid iron

Limit Cut specifically refers to a mechanic where people get marked 1 to 8 and have to place themselves to avoid smacking the same person or people twice with the same dash attack

#

or beam

#

But usually its a dash

tranquil nexus
elfin pewter
#

nah

also, limit cut just gives cruise chased a damage up. the actual dash mechanic is "Alpha Sword" and "Blassty Charge"
