FFXIV Random Speculation/Question Thread XI: "How you liking that Beta Phase 5?"

[miokomioko]

Does anyone know the duration of any of the "Eluder" abilities (even from the betas)? Wavekin Eluder is looking nicer every day...

Another question about stalls

When the 24h is finish, what happens?

Your retainer is set back to a normal spot or is it just unsummoned?

[Creed]

Shit question. Shit user. Shit game.

Switched to a secondary battle class for the first time in a while.. and man. I have 715hp as a 24THM... and 550 as a 6CON. Leveled to 7, 570. 8, 593.

Pretty ridiculous scaling. Tearing through Thistletail cave at level 6 with ease despite everything being red.. not even counting cross-abilities either. Just good ol' dart spam+cure, with the occasional Damnation for good measure. Seems a bit overpowered.. pretty sure that's double what I was working with the first time through. Anybody with multiple battle jobs know when this levels out to normal levels?

I didn't have a problem with red coblyns as PUG 1~10, phys 1~10.

I think it won't be that easy after 10 anymore.

It hasn't changed much since OB, when I took both to 20+, so you'll be able to rip through things solo until at least 16-ish, when you move up to the next tier of mobs. Conj has the lowest HP out of any class in the game, though, so watch out for potential one-shots.

[Rammses]

How the fuck do you equip accessories with a macro? I've tried both the FFXI syntax and the FFXIV one listed on Lodestone. Nothing works.

[bercus]

I can´t find it anymore.... there was a link to some site with a chart in it, explaining/showing what crystals will drop where
depending on your elemental resistance blabla? Anyone knows what I mean with this explanation? >.<

[Cureslime]

If you pump an elemental stat way above your other elemental stats you'll only get that kind of shard while gathering. Everyone should be pumping wind.

[Aristio]

What rank do the tier 4 leves become available? I'm rank 22 miner, and no tier 4 leves yet in Uldah.

Seven ranks before the suggested rank, so 23.

[miokomioko]

Rank~20 Fieldcraft leves are not available until Rank-15. It looks like you only get 5 ranks of leeway for Disciples of the Land. I'd expect Rank-25 for Ul'dah's Rank~30 Miner leves.

[Kais]

sorry if this was asked before, but if I hold uncompleted local leves until the next reset, does it count towards the current number of leves I would have or the previous number?

[miokomioko]

Previous. You can hang on to 8 leves until reset, do them, get 8 new, do them too for a total of 16 in one day. It's a limit of 8 pickups per 36 hours, not leve attempts.

[Ratatapa]

Another stupid question.

How hard are lv30 leaves in LL? Would I be able to solo them at lv 21 conjurer or should I continue doing bloodshore and wait around 23 for lv 30 leaves

Not quite. I pump wind and a bit lightning and still get plenty fire shards mining. The majority are wind though. I don't complain, fire is very useful for me too.

[miokomioko]

Each gathering location has it's own elemental affinity towards usually two elements. You have to overcome those with your own in order to get a majority of something other than it's natural elemental allignent. When you can get 90~100 affinity, you'll get almost nothing but. Splitting it between two elements won't get enough to become exclusive.

[Sephiroth]

Hmm well I have;

Fire 16 (16)
Water 16 (16)
Lightning 61 (61)
Wind 113 (113)
Earth 15 (15)
Ice 13 (13)

And I got a load of fire last night. In Drybone area. I'd say 65% wind, 30% fire, 4% lightning, 1% other.

I've since gained a level so I'll take wind up to 120.

[miokomioko]

I've noticed most waters around Limsa Lominsa are heavy in Wind + Fire. Even when dumping all points into Lightning affinity I was maybe getting Lightning shards 25% of the time. Now, with Wind max'd out, I'm getting Wind shards 100% of the time.

Gridania's local waters seem to be heavy in Wind + Earth.

Question: are there any Grade-3 saltwater schools of fish in La Noscea? Bloodshore should have some, but Gulleye III detects nothing.
