The dot's more of the cream topping on top of the kicking-your-arse-cake that's all of the autoattacks in that pull. The Dhara's, the Zu and the big Rock beast all occasionally stop to cast AoE's (or Stone II's in the Dhara's case) but those birds just keep pecking and winging you until they or you are dead.

When I was leveling warrior my rule was I'd only do a big pull there if the earlier pulls went flawlessly

I just did a big pull every time. That pull is right before the dodge-boss so there's no good reason to save your cooldowns and it isn't like anything else in the dungeon requires it. Popping Hallowed Ground or Holmgang there is basically ideal.

The real problem is DPS. If DPS is lovely you don't have enough cooldown for the whole pull

Lets say I would like to have a tank ready for heaven on high at 61, The best way to level there from 34 is just spamming The highest level dungeon? Or do you suppose it would Be better to run it with a lvl70 job first?

I think you want to do your daily roulettes, but other than that, yeah, spam the highest level dungeon. As a tank, you can get in pretty much instantly. Once you hit 50, remember that the MSQ gives a big chunk of XP to make up for the duration and tedium of it, so that's a source of XP I wouldn't blame you for skipping.

Leveling a tank is the easiest and fastest thing. Just spam the highest level dungeon. Post 51 you even get the fixed gear drops.

Or do you suppose it would Be better to run it with a lvl70 job first? Daily roulettes, followed by spamming the highest-level dungeon, will get you levels pretty quickly. That goes double for tanks, since Duty Finder queues are pretty much instant. As the tank, you can make dungeons go along even faster by going for big pulls, but it's kind of a thing you have to get a feel for. Grab too much for your healer and cooldowns to handle and you die, grab too little and nothing terrible happens but it'll take longer and any casters or monks in your party will hate you. Speaking of monks, I finally got it to 60! Monk's kinda fun and, much more importantly, has  artifact gear and poses. 10 more levels on it, and 9 more on WAR, and I can finally

Hello FF friends. Third Party Tools still active and healthy? I played through all of 2.x, Heavensward and part of Stormblood with them last year and had an amazing time (Sjan Sjet). Didn't finish Stormblood and life has kept me busy, but it's been on my mind lately, game good, so I was thinking about coming back and trying to finish most / all of it.

I kinda wish SE would backport the separation of tank stuff from DoW stuff into the original ARR stuff that doesn't have it, I keep seeing tanks wearing DoW items at lower levels and it's getting frustrating trying to heal someone in half outdated tank gear and half outdated DoW gear through the big pulls they keep doing even after I ask them not to in Stone Vigil.

Next crafting question, is there a point in crafter levels where sale prices take a huge leap? Or is it a pretty linear increase? Just wondering if theres a big opportunity cost selling HQ velveteen rather than powering up to 50.

Higher level crafting materials tend to drop from treasure maps, which moderates their prices more than middle-of-the-curve crafting materials that are sourced entirely from crafters or are beastman tribe (time)-gated.

I'm not hurting for money, but there's a lot to be said for being able to take a couple of crappy low-level fish or NQ Silver Ores, turning them into HQ Fish Glue or Silver Ingots, and then selling that for 5000 gil each. It literally requires clicking the synthesize button, then clicking a macro button, then waiting 30 seconds! Incidentally, the macro generator's handy if you haven't discovered it yet. Other than that, since I'm not sure where you are in leveling crafters, get CUL to 37 ASAP for Steady Hand II, which is mandatory, and then LTW to 15 for Waste Not so you can do those 40 durability crafts without going insane. Your Grand Company will sell some pretty solid crafter/gatherer outfits to use up to level 50. The actual job-specific gear you get at 50 is quite a bit worse than the GC stuff, though some of it looks fabulous. The inaccurately-named Alchemist's Trousers is the best skirt in the game and anyone who disagrees is wrong.   yes it's a thinly veiled excuse to post selfies, not that i've ever needed one

Yeah, beyond a certain point (other than buying a house) gil becomes obsolete if you can craft most of the stuff that actually costs money, other than maybe map stuff to get the most up to date glamours. I have been making desynth books and bacon broth as my main way of making money with bacon broth HQ selling for 50k ea (which you craft 3 per time with a easy macro) and the books (which do require some difficult mats) for 500k ea. It's really not difficult to do. Also as my thinly veiled excuse to post my character, can I say how nice the clothing for the new crafter/gatherer sets are, they are really well done and very understated pieces of gear. If only I could glamour them on to something else.

Bolow posted:Selling some housing items that cost me a literal pittance to make for 200k plus and I can't loving even Again, it's a case of being lazy. There are people in PBC who years ago spent like 200m gil to gear up their crafters because they didn't want to craft the items themselves. When decorating their house and they want to take their time playing The Sims the last thing that person wants to do MB hunt for the materials to craft a piece of furniture, especially if it's a one-off thing they're finally attending to and they're gonna be placing items by the dozens/hundreds. If the prices were all like 100k, 200k, 100k, 50k, 200k, 500k, 200k times 100 they might give pause to plan it out, but when you're bulk buying poo poo to play barbie and it's 100 gil, 200 gil, 1k gil, 100k gil, 2k gil, 50 gil the jump may be jarring but you can just shrug it off as part of the expenses depending on your budget if that's the convenience price not to bother having to check. Also not everyone who's rich is a crafter and some people don't even want to look at the crafting screen with a ten-foot pole. This question keeps popping up from time to time so here's the answer: There's no gil dump in this game. There are people in WoW with mad surplus complaining about having nowhere to spend it and in WoW you can buy extremely expensive mounts, BoE heroic/mythic drops from raids that are rare and possibly BiS, or buy prestige stuff at the black market auction house for up to 1m gold. There's no equivalent in FFXIV, this game has no real gil dump. After a very low threshold there's no point in hoarding gil anymore and since as far as having money goes, glamour/housing is one of the endgames, so there's also no reason to be cautious with gil if it's not gonna break your bank. If you found an item that costs 5k to make and sells for 200k enjoy your money and your ride towards the realization there's nothing to do with it.

Yes, for early levels, Careful Synthesis I and II is a huge help which is from weaver level 15 and 50 respectively as well as Waste Not (Leatherworker 15). Steady Hand II (Culinarian 37) is also handy when you start needing to make things high quality, Comfort Zone (Culinarian 50) and Byregot's Blessing (50 Carpenter) are also really helpful.

For trying to craft seriously, I'd get everything to 15, then CUL to 37 for Steady Hand 2, CRP to 50 for Byregot's Blessing, WVR to 50 for Careful Synth 2 and then whatever. You can do 1-15 pretty quickly with normal recipes, then move to Ixal dailies + leves + GC turnins. Switch dailies to moogles at 50, then namazu at 60. If you have the gil to spare, you can do many of the GC turnins the lazy way by buying NQ gear from vendors (exceptions: jewelry, food, gatherer mats and fish after level 20). And to me, spending more on finished items that can be made cheaper is about deciding to spend my time on something else. I was just catching up on some crafting quests over the weekend, and sure I could make most of the stuff cheaply with enough patience and luck, by tracking down the lowest price base mats and hoping the RNG doesn't gently caress me over too much (I don't have gatherers over 40 or HQ/melded crafting gear to help with those parts). Or I spend what I realize is way too much gil in isolation, but it's basically a one-time fee and I don't have to HQ a bunch of intermediate 40 durability crafts. Mordiceius posted:There is literally no reason to ever run 50/60DR. Literally no reason. This is true if XP is the only metric someone's interested in, because the daily XP bonus sucks. Otherwise, 50/60 DR is cool for more poetics by running content that's not syncing your abilities too much, and it's largely painless because a lot of the dungeons can be finished in 10-15 minutes.

Mordiceius posted:There is literally no reason to ever run 50/60DR. Literally no reason.  - If you remember to get the daily quest for it, you can use it to work towards some HW relics on the side - It's the best and safest way to level a tank (and to a lesser extent healer) on the side, since you're guaranteed to get into a dungeon where your ironworks/shire gear is near top of the line - no landing in Bardam's with unaugmented shire tank gear and dying three times on the way to the first boss. No intermediate gearing up neccessary when leveling 50->70. - Good and inoffensive source of poetics when you've already exhausted your other roulettes and still need more Now, expert roulette on the other hand... It feels like months since i've queued for that. I can count the number of times i've been in Hell's Lid and Swallow's Compass combined on one hand, and i'm p. sure the number of times i've queued ExDR at all in Stormblood is still in the single digits. Literally no reason.
