The number of people that keep wet noodling 4v20 for bh they will most likely lose is staggering. The sooner your objective is down, the sooner you get half your team back to move in force. Simple as that. If you are not fighting in superior numbers, you are not at the right place on the map.
Thank you, it took me 2 hours to finish that challenge thanks to your video. I didn't have all the spells and had to choose other spells in order to still do some damage. I've resorted to use Goblin punch in order to do some damage while moving around Goldor more freely. I needed to stay close, but I could alternate with Fire Angon when I needed to be ranged. 😄
So it depends on the fight. I did actually test this an I was able to do ruby phase 1(only need phase 1 for the spell) without much difficulty, but something like titania I don't know if you can do solo
I think there's a few other conditions to learning spells as Blue Mage that I've noticed. I don't think you can learn spells while blinded or asleep, for instance. And if you're in a party, you can learn them from a distance if someone else in your party gets a spell, but I think you still have to be within a certain range before you just miss out on it entirely.
Unfortunately, you can't. However, you'll rarely see more than one or two curable debuffs inflicted at a time, and when they do happen, usually in the form of paralyzes, its a preventable punishment meaning someone missed something like a tower of an interrupt.
So all you have to do is tag the leech to mark it as tied to you. Sadly that does mean that mean your going to have to deal with misses; however, you can somewhat get around that by using things like sleep or addle.
Thank you for the videos! What gear do you use as blu mage to solo treasure maps? I'm using the 530 poetics gear (without materia) and even with tank mimicry and all the spells you suggested(mighty guard and predatory instincts) its a struggle to stay alive in the overworld but especially in the instanced part of the map.
Also healing with Tank mimicry i find it hard: -if i get low hp White Wind heals for very little -and Rehydration takes a long time to cast without swiftcast, so i try to cast that and die in the process if im lower hp
The tome gear is fine durability bis(best in slot) for the job is 530 so changing your gear will just increase damage. So when it comes to the overworld the general idea is you just don't let them do anything. There are three different spawn patter you'll see. The first pattern is 3 3 3 where you have to kill each wave individually. I usually ram's vibrate the first set, then for the last 2 I continue to freeze and dimensional shift until I can finish them off The second pattern is 1 3 3 for this one you can dimensional shift three times and all the waves will spawn letting you get rid of everything with ram's vibrate The last pattern is the 4 pattern that you can just ram's vibrate As for staying alive inside you just have to be very conscious of your health and plan out your healing, so if your about to drop below 50 or 60% then you going to want to look for an moment where you can do a full rehydration or if your not getting one use white wind. I save swiftcast almost exclusively for healing with rehydration. I'd recommend checking out this stream I did showing how to do solo maps/dungeons that way you can better see how I actually do certain things ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-6_TXEI-yAjM.html
Great video. the only, only thing i would poke at would be the audio mixing in the first part was uneven. We get the tempest theme ticking and it goes right into his voice lines, if you had given the section about a 4-7 second breath we could better acclimate to the incoming audio as it is very sudden. His voice lines to your audio is also very loud to quite. same with the card sound at 5:00, maybe bring that down by 30%. Since it's an accent and not a vital requirement.
Don't forget that you can use the 200GP ability to show hidden items when gathering. (Luck of the mountaineer and luck of the pioneer). This has saved me so much time going through nodes.
Generally, the group maps are going to be more profitable; however, as a more items are added to the maps(they get new items every patch of an expac) they push older things to the solo maps. For example, with the shadowbringer maps they moved the shell leather(rebel set) to the solo gilderskins and because people like the rebel set the leather sell pretty well(150k per). What I recommend is going here to see the reward for the different maps: ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Treasure_Hunt Then here to price check items if you looking to try and sell things: universalis.app/ Other things to consider is that you can also sell the normal crafting mats and/or the crystals/cluster you get.
@@TheNastyNamazu Yeah once I found that in a solo map and saw how much, ended up making an alright amount at the end before EW. I haven't see if anything was pushed to solo for EW.
Something else I didn't touch upon is that they are also great for getting crystals/clusters for crafting. I think in the making of this video I got over 1,000 of each crystal/cluster element
Shadowbringers was easily one if if not the single best stories ive ever experienced, with Emet-Selch being such a defining factor of that story, its no wonder hes one of my favorite FF characters! yet alone ffxiv. Thanks for the vid, genuinely love his story and watching a reminder just before the new expac seems like great timing haha. Also, something i didnt notice till the end of the vid, but the white in emets hair is very likely symbolic! instead of growing white as he aged, it grew brown as he became more of a villain, in a sense... the lone streak we see on him in ShB is likely the last bit of his hopes of bringing back his fellow ancients or he last bit of hope for the current peoples of the source to inherit the star. Regardless, just makes me love him even more.
If you talking about learning it. The attack hits incredibly hard, so you'll just have to keep upgrading your gear/get higher lvl until you can survive it. Also make sure to use mighty guard.
@@TheNastyNamazu i was talking about using it and not dying, why de Blue Mage has a bunch of abilities that kill themselves( final sting, self destruct, transfusion)? Most of the content you do is solo, how can I make these spells work?
@@patrickarraes4422 Let's use the sunken temple of qarn as an example. If you wanted to do this dungeon solo/fast the best way to do so if to get the first boss(immune to death) to 50% then do a fully buffed final sting(moonflute + whistle) this will kill the boss then you respawn and take the short cut back to the boss arena. Another example is with the masked carnivale as long as you kill the enemy with the final sting you'll get the victory.
I recently got all mages to 90. I would swap between Red Mage and Black Mage on my goal to get all mages to 90. (Healers and DPS). Black Mage is by far the hardest DPS I have ever played, but when I did pull it off it did feel soooo good. I do recommend people to try it if they really want to play it. Just don't be surprised especially if its not your first DPS in ffxiv, to feel a sudden up-tick in difficulty.
Ok, so am a free trail player, who just finished ARR and at the beginning of Heavensworth. Just started blue mage and leveling it up and learning skills up to level 10 was ok. But when you need to learn 10 magics so that you can learn healing and defensice magic that is where it fucked for me. Because at level 10 I cant learn self distruct because well I die. The only other spell I can learn is 1000 needles or toad oil, but the enemy is at level 26, so I die. Then I have to learn Mind blast in a dungeon that I cant use nor duty finder or Duty support, cant summon my companion, and cant find anyone willing to help me on that dungeon. How can you do it?
First blue mage is a very grind heavy before your reach stormblood when you get the best level method for free trail, so you'll just have to keep grinding levels the old fashion way by killing normal enemies until get to a higher level to do things like tam-tara unsynced Two you just be in combat with the enemy and see the attack be cast you don't necessarily have to be hit by it, so for self-destruct just move away and let them finish themselves off. Also while not the easiest thing to do you can pull the cactuars with 1000 needles to the guards and have them kill the enemy to learn the spell, but again it's finnicky Three the most viewed video on the channels is my first solo blue mage leveling guide which is still the best way for free trial players
@@TheNastyNamazu i will check that out! Thank you, am heaving a real hard time trying to do the dungeon solo. I was able to read in a forum that you dont need to get hit by the attack, but thank you anyway! For the dungeon, is it possible to do it solo? Or do ai need a especific ability, I have 1000 needles but there is a part with 4 mobs that I cant handle it at all, btw I thought self destruct didn't kill you, but it does.... Also I thought you had do do the dungeon sync so that you can learn the spell, can you do a lvl 16 dungeon at level 30 and still learn the spell?
@@patrickarraes4422 So you can do any dungeon unsynced and learn the spell, however, it's only a chance that you learn the spell. Dungeons are pretty generous with the learn rate, trial and raids are where they get annoying. If you do a piece of content synced with blue then the spell is guaranteed to be learned as long as the conditions are met, moreover, any spell needed to progress the blue questline is also guaranteed to be learned. As for doing dungeons solo you'll need basic instinct(from the master couerl in upper la noscea), might guard(from the totem vendor), and white wind(totem better options later). I have a video & stream showing how to do the shadowbringers dungeons solo.
@@TheNastyNamazu so I faced ifrit last night, I tried unsync for a couple of times and I could not get eruption, so I thought that the only way to gain the ability is by sync. I was level 23 or something, and I got those 3 spell, I had to use bad breath + toad oil so that he could miss as much as possible for me to use 1000 needle, pray so that he didn't push me mid cast. Then at half health he uses his wipe mechanic, I have to destroy the relic asap while he continues to do dmg on me + push me. Toke me some tries, but I got it. It was a bit of disappointing because it doesn't do much dmg. What I notice from your videos is that Blue mage is very op at level 50+ but my journey to there has been very, lets say complicated. Even thought I have a bunch of spells that are for lvl 40 below, I dont have vibration or ram, final sting kills me, dont have whisper etc. Do you know any early game combo that I could use besides 1000 needles?
@@patrickarraes4422 Unfortunately, blue mage doesn't really start to pick up until after lvl 50 as you noticed. This because it's when your able to get things like the remaining primal spells, missile, moonflute, ect. and because of this 1000 needles is going to be your best option until you can start doing more damage with your spam spells(around 400ish because of faster cast speed) That being said technically the best damage combo you'll have access to under lvl 50 is ram's voice(freezes) + dragon's voice(double damage to frozen); however, this requires somewhat awkward movement since ram's is a point blank and dragon's is a donut.
Around level 20 when the main story has you join your grand company. What I recommend is as you go through the 3 main cities for the story you pick up all the jobs then when you join the grand company you do the daily turn-ins to passively level. As for the job quest you can do them in waves. When you start to feel that you crafting gear is getting outdated, and its getting to hard to make the daily turn-ins you can then put aside some time to do the quests and upgrade your gear.
I remember when i first did this dungeon years ago I saw these bosses and said in party chat "oh are those the creatures from the shadowbringers trailer" and thr other players in the party said no and were very nice players overall. Idk why but i remember this interaction very vividly, when i was still but a small sprout
If your on the free trial your unable to play pvp, and if your in na and on Dynamis you might be better off using the dc travel function for faster queue times.
Actually: Based on what the Crystal Exarch says in the beginning of SHB, there's a time dilation effect between the First and the Source. The Flood occurred during the time of Ardbert and his companions 100 years before we arrive in the First, which is some unstated time after the Exarch arrived with the Crystal Tower, as the Crystarium was already up and running when we arrived, and the city was created in response to those displaced by The Flood. With that said, the War of the Magi ended with The Great Flood, AKA the Sixth Umbral Calamity 1,505 (resources refer to the intervening time between then and now as 15 centuries, +5 years since the Seventh Umbral Calamity) years prior to the start of our journey. And if you go even further: After completing The Twinning dungeon there's an unvoiced cutscene where an audio recording is played explaining how G'raha is the world's only hope of forestalling the Eigth Umbral calamity, and the recording was made by Biggs the Third. If you're generous and assume 100 years between each generation, account for the fact that Biggs the First (the one we know and work with in-game) has his while life ahead of him you'd get something close to 300 years. I point that out because it took the teams of the post-Eigth Umbral Calamity world roughly 300 years to figure out time travel and sending/calling objects to/from the Source. So, it took the researchers a generous 3 centuries to figure out time travel and planar travel to the First, and were able to send G'raha back to a roughly equivalent point on the First which is after the Flood, but not before the War of the Magi.
The quote from the second volume of the encyclopedia Eorzea "Created by Amdapori Magi to protect their city, this winged golem is animated by gems infused with the power of white magic. To better contend with voidsent, it is said to have been made in the image of transcendent beings from yet another plane."
@@TheNastyNamazu Interesting! But that doesn't lineup with the timeline of events from the First to that far back in the Source though. If anything just based on the time travel between when G'raha was sent to the First from the post Eight Umbral Calamity Source. Unless Roegadyn are significantly longer-lived than humans and my 300 years estimate was just completely wrong. We know G'raha arrived sometime after The Flood but before we arrived because he had time to set up the Crystarium, and the Flood to the present has only been 100 years. Working out the math there, and assuming my 300 years estimate is still accurate, you'd have a 300 Source-years jump back to the present, and then you'd go even further back to put G'raha in the past of the First, but still post-Flood. Based on what G'raha says when you first meet him in the First, the time dilation effect peters out and time runs more or less concurrently after your arrival in the First, so anything beyond the present would be the same in both worlds. But even if we said G'raha arrived the first day after the Flood so we'd basically get a full 100 First-years, that wouldn't make up for the 1500+ year gap between the start of our journey and the END of the War of the Magi, not even accounting for the years the war raged after the Amdapori discovered the method to create golems. Either way it makes my head hurt to think about, but if the books say that's what it is then that's what it is, even if it doesn't make sense XD
@@Gatescholar So an important thing to keep in mind is that it doesn't specifically say that they looked to the first, but even if they did we also don't know what they saw, so for all we know one of the Amdapori had an echo that let them look to the future where they saw the sineaters of the first. It's also important to note that sineaters aren't technically exclusive to the first as it just requires someone to be completely consumed by light(basically a super tempering), so maybe one of the other shards that we don't know about had something similar to sineaters
@@TheNastyNamazu That's an interesting theory, but of more concern to me would be the implication that another shard was tipped close to Light and/or saw a powerful Light-based Primal on it that was in existence long enough to alter their tempered minions into Sin Eater-esque creatures. Because for comparison: (Spoilers of EW ahead) The Imperials we see in the Tower of Babil dungeon have only been tempered for a few months and they're just slightly altered tentacle monsters, which leads me to believe that more time has to pass for a primal to convert someone to being a Sin Eater (or equivalent creature).
HATE the story ... wouldnt be so bad if it wasnt play 5 seconds for 5 minutes cutscene, play 5 seconds for 5 minutes cutscene, play 5 second for 10 minutes UNSKIPPABLE cutscene ... paid for a game not an interactive spirits within/advent children(both of which have waaaaay better voice acting/ voice sound quality) .. dont get me wrong .. the game (when it lets me play) i love .. nearly 4 years now ... just cant stand being FORCED into the story just to be able to play ... "14 doesnt waste your time" ... have you never done Castrum ?
I don't think I've ever seen the Borderlands Ruins map EVER when I've been doing Frontlines. I've been doing it every day for the past week or so to get to 25 before Dawntrail and not once have I seen that map.
Rolling my eyes that yet another male-dominated narrative is obsessed with male progeny and the woman that loved him and went through all of the agony of labor and childbirth is discarded in the narrative and not even named and not even important and everyone is celebrating this man for having basic empathy towards another male child as if that isn't like the entire problem. And everybody who's going to comment on this thread I'm not going to see it but I know that I've triggered a bunch of guys by just pointing this out because it's in every narrative The woman dies in childbirth or the mother's not important It's always the father and the child we have so many narratives about fathers and childs and the woman is just not there. No wonder there's men on TikTok right now saying that biology is basically what the kings of England in the dark ages believed.
The sound effects for the pop ups are quite annoying and distracting please consider removing them for new content especially for people who are just listening with headphones and not watching
New player here I got the game 3 days ago on PS5 after watching someone stream ARR on RU-vid and in short…. I have been having a absolute blast I’m on Dynamis with the exp buff still in the middle of ARR and it’s just amazing the story, the people you encounter and play with, the combat everything has been amazing. It’s my first final fantasy game and one of my first large scale mmo games. Definitely a learning experience but very very much so worth it
I think you kill him too fast for it to make a difference. The power of mortal flame is the fact that it's infinite and so it generates more value the longer the fight. However, the opposite is true as well where it is less valuable the shorter the fight
