#general-discussion btw friend š
eh. forgot whatt channel i was iin
can you still q as one job, the go as another to frontlines, but get xp on the first?
yay
exp goes to whatever you queue in as not what you play fro the match
is any healer particularly better for a newb to pvp?
like how sch cheats with fairy >.>
so the WAR AoE is basically Overpower -> Mythril Tempest, and then Decimate with Beast Gauge. nothing else?
Pretty much, though you do want to fit in a Stormās Eye combo early on to get the damage buff if it fell off.
I usually do it after the first/second combo
i'm just setting up my bars, but my experience is with Dark Knight, which has 4 aoe skills besides quietus,
I donāt really count abyssal drain as an AoE skill if you are. Pretty sure you just press it whenever itās off cooldown
so what does WAR use to deal with tankbusters, Vengeance? or the self-healing?
TBN is a crutch. a completely awesome, tricked-out crutch, but a crutch nonetheless.
Rampart, Vengeance, thrill of battle, Raw Intuition(though thereās math that usually makes Nascent Flash better)
Holmgang for the really big ones
oh, thrill of battle gives temporary HP
Also Reprisal can generally be used for every tank buster
Since itās a minute recast
true. i gguess I'm just too used to TBN ALWAYS being available lol

anyone having problems with discord overlays with the game? works fine for other games but refuses to work with xiv
How can I /micon emote icons into macros?
is there anything i can do with tomestone gear that i no longer need? like can i trade my shire greatsword back for the tokens?
trade it in for GC seals if you're high enough rank
doesnt seem like its worth it, is there anything good to buy with the seals? im second lieutenant
glam prisms, cordials, manuals, ventures, aetheryte tickets, dark matter, crafting mats to sell
all better than vendoring
@gritty oracle /micon "emote name" emote
Ah, thanks!
For the moogle event, is only the 100 tomestone item limited? The other items can be acquired through other means?
the mastery fireworks are also event specific
The fireworks seem to be a recurring item for each of the tomestone events so kinda not those
But the choker is definitely limited time going by the first two events and their 100-token items
Which havenāt been seen outside of their event
wat is the fastest way to gain venture seals around lvl 60 with only heavensward content?
havent gotten to the other expansinos yet
Buy them with grand company seals
any tips on targeting in pvp on controller? seems like a nightmare of āyeah that person is targeted but too far away to heal/attackā
What moogle event?
it just started today
Oh I misread it then
I assumed you exchanged tomes that you could already get and spend on other stuff
Nah these are different items using the names of previous tomestones
Philosophy/Mythology/Soldiery were tomestones for A Realm Reborn
Poetics too, but that one became the generic tomestone for non-80 sets
The new PVP frontline?
The rival wings "hidden gorge" thing
More of a MOBA than a battle royale
Ah

I see gotcha
But probably unlocking certain things with tomestomes probably less tedious than doing the actual way, huh?
For sure
Like that spotted fedora and suit, those come from a super fate in the dravanian forelands
Itās a 3-parter but the tokens to exchange for them only come from the 2nd and 3rd fate, IIRC
and each part has like a day or so between them
the ARR riding maps normally need allied seals IIRC
Yeah, those can be annoying to grind for since they only come from blue mage stuff and ARR hunts
Suit then riding maps
The orchestrion rolls that cost 50, besides Answers, also are annoying to get since they come from Aquapolis, the level 60 treasure map instance
Gotcha! Just wondering what I should prioritize if I end up farming a bit
How do you unlock 2B stuff?
Nier raid, which you can unlock after beating shadowbringers
if i go solo a low level dungeon will i get the drops from mobs or nah
I think so
No.
No, the only thing you will get from unsync is the chest drops
is it mob drops the ones that are disabled when unsync?
Yep
The Aetherochemical Research Facility gives a good amount
yes
if you get a good group
random question
from heavy swing to maim
I get a yellow border on skills
and after maim I get a yellow border for Storm's Path
but now, for some reason, I don't get it anymore
Because Stormās path is the end of the combo chain
The yellow border is showing you the next available options for a combo
it should light up if you did it right
it did when i first got the skill
are you synced into a lower level instance than being able to use it?
lemme try on a dummy again
@little swift oh wow
that might be the case
lemme see though
you prob got level synced then
yeah that might be the case
thanks y'all
I can still do the move though
hmm
maybe I'm trippin
you can do storm's path by itself yes
but you don't get the combo bonus if you do that
depends on what level the sync is
/\
The only abilities that ignore level sync are role actions
gotcha
yeah lookin at the journal
it was a level 20 ting
and the skill is level
26
makes sense
So you'd have it in like... Thousand Maws of Toto-rak onward since that syncs at 27
It's the name of the like... fourth main story dungeon and probably also one of the worst

lol I see
As a RDM should I wait till level 80 to try soloing all the HW Ex Trials? Or should the early 70s with dungeon gear from ShB be enough?
70-75 might be iffy
80 is no prob
for a few
oh HW ex's?
hmmm
i'd have to say now
no
i've soloed ravana ex
but bismark and thordan you need to separate adds
niddhogg i don't think so
you can do bismark solo
yes
So it's not like Garuda with Suparna and the other cone where you can kill the adds as they spawn so they don't get invuln?
Anything past Ravana/Bismarck will probably do too much damage for you to do
probably only tanks can do it
i think for now, atleast, the tanks are pretty much the only ones that can do thordan +
Mmk, so level my DRK to 80 and then get all the Birbs from HW?
pld is probably going to be the safest
Eh, I know DRK like the back of my hand. Don't really wanna learn what all the PLD buttons do xD
bismarck is a pain in the ass because of the adds
there will be things you can't do on dark knight
without the on-demand healing
if you want to do the bleeding-edge solos like the later HW extremes, pld is pretty much it for now
hallowed doesn't require you to be healed, you have on demand healing that's quite strong
all in all, pld is the much safer choice
how does GNB manage
you can try drk but there's likely going to be some that you're not going to be able to do
it can't keep up with self healing
So I recently saw someone on a Fenrir mount....how get? xD
1 million MGP points from gold saucer
Damn
!faq mgpguide
if i wanted to constantly change from dnc to mch do i have to change the materia every time?
I know I was supposed to switch out of my augmented shire gear at 65 but i dont know how to find the dungeons where I can get higher gear and im stuck at ilvl 270 at lvl 67. Do I just keep doing MSQs or is there a sidequest that im supposed to do to unlock the dungeons?
and that would be annoying
so you'd have to like stash one set and then go back and forth, right?
yes
Iām having trouble finding the serpent quest in rakātika
@near depot where are you in the msq
Stormblood, The Last Voyage.
that's only level 62
keep doing msq then
you'll be fine in aug shire until you get to the level 65 dungeon
so how do i participate in this moogle event?
you just run the stuff that gives you tomes
make sure it's synced and you don't join in progress
ah i found it in the duty finder
praetorium gives me the most but its also the longest
there'll be a little mog tome icon
What do you get out of the event?
you can buy mounts i think
if you hover over the icons, it lists the items descrption
What does a Garlean's third eye do?
it supposedly gives them enhanced spatial perception
outside of that, we don't know anything more
Thanks!
what do all the riding maps on that list do?
Increase your mount speed for that zone
i thought you got those through the story anyways
ohh
it's really only good for getting to hunts fast
in ARR zones
since you fly everywhere else
Beast tribe dailies too if you need the tokens for anima weapons
Or crafting materia in terms of the ixal
i dont think im anywhere close to flying mounts story wise lol
boutta make my character a pimp

Flying isn't strictly from main story
once you get far enough in main story in each area you get an aether current that goes towards flying in that area but you also have to do the
that give them and find a bunch in the area. The only exception being the area ||Azys Ila|| which is all main story
Basically there's 3-5
currents, 1
current, and usually 10 or so exploration currents
It's the same number per zone most of the time
Azys Ila being the exception
@crystal bluff
For the Spotted gear you can also try to catch Coeurlregina (as WB fate) in The Dravanian Forlands, but she is pretty elusive these days.
i didnt even know you could catch things
It is a World Boss fate, so you get tokens to trade.
And yes, the Spotted glamour is from those tokens.
ah
These crafting turn ins are getting frustrating. I have to craft a Holy Cedar Armillae (CRP) and on the craft page for it, it says recommended craftsmanship is 519. I'm at 244. To upgrade my gear, I'd like to craft it, but that means I need to level my other jobs. GC turn ins are supposed to help me level. So it seems like a catch 22
I'm getting high enough in DoH/DoL levels (~50) that I can't afford to spend 100-200k on MB for upgrades
If you can get to 50 your GC will have a set of gear
I don't know if it's the solution to your problem but it might be a start
mfw
i found gloves that were like 3x stronger than my augmented ironworks ones and they only cost like 1.5k
oh
the entire set is way better and super cheap
hell yeah
What set is this?
sky rat
i didnt think the difference would be so big for only 10 levels lol
Thatās two level caps man
oh
oh theres no waist item
If youāve completed the base Heavensward MSQ, you should buy augmented Shire gear with poetics in Idyllshire.
im not even done ARR yet lol
i think im halfway through the 2nd big arc
Oh yikes
lol
yeah i went from 129 to 203 of those star things
what should i do with the ironworks gear now? just trash it?
Unless you have better gear,just keep it
Might worth chucking it in a retainer for alts later on
When you start playing multiple jobs you will be
True story
I dont understand why there isnt more QoL stuff in the mog station
Honestly the only spots tight on space are weapons and rings
Give me the option to buy more space
You can buy another retainer š
Retainers are more inventory
I just level classes in waves that all use the same gear types
Does the mogstation cycle items out for seasonal stuff? Because it's really lacking for a game that's been out for 6 years
No items have been removed from the mogstation yet
And the seasonal stuff is just old event items
So right now on my RDM I'm getting two levels per 4 roulettes done. If I go to my level 50 SAM will that amount of levels increase or will it stay the same? I can only do Trials, Leveling, MSQ, and Level50/60/70 roulettes atm.
The increase in level should be around the same ballpark
Mmk, I'm guessing for SAM leveling Roulettes and then high floor PotD would be my best bet until I can go from PotD to HoH and Roulettes?

I've got a friend who bought FFXIV to come play with me but sadly I'm on a congested world. Anyone know if there's a good time when the world is generally open for new chars/transfers?
or a way to figure that out other than randomly checking?
Try making the char during off peak times?
Congested worlds cannot be transferred to until such time as SE lifts the congested status
World congestion/preferred statuses are updated with patches.
The time of day will have no effect.
However, you can transfer off the congested world for free.
Can I throw away any of these highlighted items?
Oh figures
You can throw all of those away probably.
Pretty much yes, void
Sands of time
Yeah
yeah they're all š¤
I run an FC so that's not an option sadly. I'll just have to hope i guess :/
All of it is pretty much junk
I think this is all garbage dropped in my inventory from doing roulettes
Your friend can join the same datacentre and world visit you though
Though the Protean crystals are somewhat useful in Eureka
You'll be able to do most things that way but they won't be able to join your FC.
Precision items from alexander raids can be used for anima weapon iirc
To exchange for one of the mats
Yeah, the lack of them joining the FC is kinda a huge problem for us shug but thanks
Its 4 per unid iirc
One or two of them aren't useful though.
just pray to the 12 that it gets i lifted somehow xD
And not worth keeping in your inventory for an age just for that purpose if you aren't doing it right now.
Yeah
r@ebon sphinx Just have them join the same data center, then they can at least visit your congested world.
Is it possible for 2nd boss of Stone Vigil Hard to be unsync solo'd? Tried with a level 70 and failed.
any reason to keep the Early Antiquity items if my ilvl is 458?
The turtle dragon with cannons mechanic
which one is better to do? Desynth or seals?
Hard to say, desynth if they give unique things
I'd say desynth. Seals are easy to get from dungeon loots
Eh, I would say seal
Depends on your needs i guess
Desynth would probably just give you random ore thats like, 3k gil
Oh I'm sorry, I miscommunicated what I meant. Not the actual gear but the trade-in items
@slim zenith They'd be out all the benefits of the FC, chat exp boosts, estate, etcetc.
Discard? Unless you want the exchanged items :p
but thanks s again
@slim zenith Other option is they don't play till the next patch/expansion?
Oh that, just use it for 2nd class
Well I've been gearing Deepshadow so I'm not sure if I still need to use it
What are Hive Totem / Expanse Totem for?
Ravana Weapons & Bird / Bismarck Weapons & Bird
The primal themed chocobo bardings also use one of the totem items too as crafting materials
Yea, I know remember Thordan Ex uses the ātotemā but couldnāt remember what else did as well
?___? Um.... pretty sure, no? Crafting mats are loots, it cant be bought with totems...
You canāt buy the material drop with totems
Correct, Round Table Barding is the exception as itās bought straight with the totems instead of crafted
The totems are not used to craft any bardings either.
Yep
Round Table (Thordan) Barding is the only barding that uses totem-like items (in this case, helm fragment) in any way.
Ravana's Forewing is not the totem
Isn't that the totem?
it's the rare drop crafting mat
Ahh
!item Hive Totem
how do I find the ishgardian restoration recipes in the Crafting Log?
You unlock them after talking to an npc there
Talk to potkin after talking to everyone else with a quest marker in the firmament
I did and he shows me a turn-in window but no recipes
Same section of the log as the beast tribe recipes
Thereās no eureka-type thing for heavensward
Diadem?
There isn't one @little walrus
Formerly the Diadem existed, and it could be considered a precursor to Eureka in a way
It's currently removed from the game.
oh shit rly?
But it was largely regarded a failed piece of content and has been removed.
well rip me never having done it
They are reworking it
All the rewards which could be attained from it are now accessible elsewhere.
like what? i just wante dto check it out lol
It is making a "return" as gatherer-focused content as part of Ishgardian Reconstruction
@obsidian patio This is all I see
There are prob old youtube videos showing it
Go to your crafting log and click the button near the level brackets
Ishgardian Reconstruction Skybuilders' Scrips are exchangeable for most of the rewards formerly from Diadem.
e.g. Pegasus mount and some minions
Not sure how to best describe it, not currently online
The materials previously obtainable from Diadem are now purchasable with yellow gatherer's scrips.
Same area where master recipes, beast tribe recipes are
@obsidian patio I don't see any button?
Above the 1-5
The bag with star icon
Near the highlighted steps icon
Does it matter that Potkin says all work is completed?
No, that's referring to the server's overall progress in rebuilding the area
Which is currently halted until the next update.
Atm work is completed for the mendicant court
Has no impact on your ability to turn stuff in and get the rewards.
How do I go about getting materials for these? Just normal locations that it shows me in gathering log?
Yep, the locations will now be accessible to you.
The materials are also all marketboard tradable.
So is it rare for people to go through the trouble of getting all the raw mats?
vs just buy them
Will they be good way to level 60 something DoH?
Nah plenty of people do both
Depends on how much you value your money
oh you can't quick synth them? hmm
someone was saying you can get 20-30 levels in 5 minutes or something, I'm not seeing it
They are crafted as collectibles i think so no quick synthing them
You use macros, void
I haven't messed with macros yet. I remember asking here if there were some posted somewhere I could use and I think the general response was "no, it depends on level, gear, stats, etc"
Hang on
Ishgard Restoration guideBy Iānanghal Shikhu(Shikhu#3190) and The Balance discord: https://discord.gg/thebalanceffxiv OverviewConcerted WorksCraftingGatheringMacrosIshgard Restoration is a new piece of content added in 5.11 that allows you to craft collectables for...
This has macros for making the turnins at all level ranges
enjoy ez mode crafter leveling
Advise paying some attention to what the macros are actually doing though
so you don't fall into the pit of hitting level cap and finding you have no idea how to manually craft anything because you automated it all
what lvl does ur class need to be, to be used in eureka?
/ac means what? usually commands are acronyms
"Requires 104, 117, 253 and stone soup" means what?
Your crafting stats, craftsmanship, control and cp
Those are the base stats you need alongside using stone soup
Craftsmanship/Control/CP for that order though
The guide doesn't mention what to craft. Is the expectation I craft the highest level recipe I can with those stats? In my case it's Skybuilder Rivets (lv40) my ARM is level 44
and the stats I need are under Lv40 in the guide (180, 190, 260)?
That's because the items are different for each crafter.
"Level 40" "Level 50" refers to the items.
So yes
ok ty

how much raw material should I gather?
not sure how many turn ins I need
if it's like 40 turn ins or something
that's 40*4 electrum ore
You can try using this EXP chart to math it out. https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Experience_Points
does BGM not play in open areas at night?
is there an eyepatch that covers the right eye? all the ones ive found so far cover the left
!iglam picaroonās eyepatch of striking
ty
Only one I immediately see on garland tools based on item picture
If I run ifrit unsynced as blue mage, can I still get the spell?
Gryphonskin eyepatch too
Yes but it will have a low learn rate
Probably like 5-10% from personal experience
Yes, you cam get eruption from fighting ifrit unsynced as blu
Do people usually run stuff synced for 100% chance or just yolo?
So.....you canāt use Nascent Flash when Solo? You HAVE to have a targetted party member to use it?
@jade quartz This is the output of the Lv40 macro I ran
is the collectability too low?
So uh Iām level 68 and the only dungeon I have unlocked is The Sirensong which is lvl lvl 61. Should I have more dungeons unlocked at my level or is that normal?
The next one is a level 63 one Rey.
(Shishui of the Violet Tides, it is an optional dungeon. But you need it to fly in the Ruby Sea.)
Progress the MSQ.
The Next MSQ one after Sirensong is Bardam's Mettle. (Level 65)
Yeah if you're behind in msq then even with the optional one you still won't see any for a bit
@sturdy mason no that's good, turnin requires minimum 90 collectability.
how do i get more of the power up things?
Progress the story within Eureka.
When you've leveled up enough there will be another mini-quest objective from Krile.

ah, im lvl 12 atm
then you should have several more available
You may be partway through one of the quests without realising it.
Go speak with Krile and see what she says
they arent in quest log?
Nope
is all i have
Hello good morning! I have a quick question. So currently i have ffxiv on Ps4 and planning to get it for my laptop, should i buy it in steam or their website or does it matter?
Speak with Krile in Eureka
Up to you Neko, Steam and non-Steam PC versions are not compatible however
So once you pick one, you're locked in to that platform for your PC purchases.
Steam lets you pay with Steam wallet, but non-Steam may be more likely to have sales.
It doesn't really matter much.
Awesome thank you!
Near the bottom of the page has the location for the quest objectives
Head to each one thatās below/at your level until you see a glowy thing you can interact with
ty
Does Eureka give decent XP for Job leveling, or is XP in Eureka totally separate?
does doing unsyn still give you tomestones
@untold ermine eureka gives 0 outside experience
Blah. Ok
Looks like Ghimlyt Dark then. Just wanna get WAR from 70 to 71 so I can run Trusts
whats the best tome dungeon to do then
In terms of poetics probably the Aetherochemical Research Facility or the Ghimlyt Dark
Doing main scenario, 50/60/70, and alliance raid roulette daily are also pretty decent
If you mean the moogle tomes, then praetorium/Castrum for tanks/healers and probably Dun Scaith/Weeping City of Mhach for DPS.
Aurum Vale can be done pretty fast as a party of blue mages if you coordinate
So on my RDM I'm now lvl 66 and I'm just getting to Kugane. Around what level should I be by the end of the 4.0 MSQ if I do every optional dungeon I can?
The last 4.0 quests are L70 so you'll need to be there at least
You're probably on pace to finish 4.0 quests around L71ish?
Depends how many roulettes and whatnot you do in the meantime
I do the 4 roulettes I have access to every day on RDM which nets me 2 levels so far š
Youāll probably hit level 80 before entering shadowbringers
does crystal and primal have around the same population?
Hard to accurately say, unofficial censuses arenāt perfect in how they measure active character
But from trends Iāve seen, Crystal is a bit smaller than Aether/Primal
i see

So...I have gotten far to accustomed to having The Blackest Night always ready for pretty much everything. Playing Warrior now and Iām having a little bit of trouble timing my defensive cooldowns .
Maybe its just that I not used to having major cooldowns that heal instead of mitigating?
are there any of the 10x leves at levels 60-70 or 70-80?
Nope, those only existed for heavensward
cool, ty
@untold ermine Raw Intuition/Nascent Flash are basically your TBN for Warrior in the context of āshort but strong cooldown you can use oftenā
And Nascent Flash is stupidly strong in big pulls when paired with Chaos Cyclone or Inner Release+Decimate
Equilibrium is also basically a free Cure 2 for yourself
Ehh, people donāt really do hunt trains for the ARR zones anymore
If you have BLU levelled then probably through that
Best bet is with Blue Mage and the Masked Carnivale and the Blue Mage Log
Yep
Marketboard. You can gather them too with a DoL class.
You can also send your retainer out for them, or get them through Aetherial Reduction
A what?

What stat determines collectability of fish
Collectability for fish is based on their size
HQ makes the fish bigger, so perception

Is FFXIV considered "Family Friendly" for twitch?
I would say no due to violence at the very least, along with all the people who can run around in bikinis and shit.
its definitely not rate E for everyone
I have a bit of a tech question for PC, anyone around who might be good at that sort of thing?
#technology-discussion < try asking here
Oh, my bad, didn't even notice that channel. Thank you!

how do i report my elite mark after i killed it ?
Itās automatically done, if you mean the hunt bills
oh
it's not done
maybe my fc member kill it too fast that i didn't have a chance to attack it
I canāt find the unsynced party option in my duty finder
Am I looking in the wrong places?
Did you click the cog on the top left of the DF window
For me it doesnāt show a cog
Unless Iām just blind
But I tried looking before and I couldnāt find the cog
Gimme a minute Iāll check
Yeah Iām just really blind
Lol
I found it
Didnāt notice the BLANTANTLY OBVIOUS yellow strip
Thanks for the help
How do you unlock all them roulettes D: THINK OF ALL THE LEVELS I COULD GET! XD
how do Iget the dyable version of antiquated channeler's halfslops? gamerescape says Geralt but neither geralt or the guy next to him, or the furnace show the option
It is from Gerolt---the instance of Gerolt that's in Eureka.

You must exchange Anemos crystals/Protean crystals with Gerolt in Eureka Anemos.
The crystals are earned from grinding FATEs or regular mob chains in Eureka Anemos.
You have to upgrade them all the way to Channeler's Halfslops Anemos for them to become dyeable.
Thank you. I don't remember seeing Eureka anywhere. Is that at the end of Shadowbringers?
It's level 70 content--Stormblood
wierd, I passed it then.
Unlocks from Galiena in Rhalgr's Reach--becomes accessible from Pier #1 in Kugane.
Unlock quest is called "And We Shall Call It Eureka".
thank you.
I am new player on ps4 can someone partner me to end game?
That's not how it works, as the endgame is literally locked behind the story.
I'm trying to register my friend to the free trial and this message keeps popping up. is there another way? or is this the only way?
Did you download the trial launcher or the full launcher
!faq gotrial
He hasn't downloaded anything yet. So not sure
@fervent bloom Check if he is using a vpn, and try an another browser, clear cache etc
Can your subscription end in the middle of playing?
not exactly sure how long, but you can definetly resub before you boot off i think
i dont think you get an ingame warning
so you would want to check your emails if your payment fails
Ok
if you are confident that you wont be able to pay for the subscription the last day, i dont reccommend doing anything end-game content (savage/ultimate)
I just hit 80 and completed msq. What should I do for gear?
Well, you can either grind for phantasmogia gear (deepshadow)
or do trial content which should boost you a bit more too
once you get high enough ilvl you could try to get savage gear
there is also goetia that you can trade for if you have some left
yep
and there will be a new set of allagan's
and new raid tier
and relic
Just to note, once you have finished the lvl80 job quest, you can get free ilvl430 gear. if you havent gotten it yet
yeah
Can I redo the whole story later on? I kinda skipped all the cutscenes and just made rushed the main quests right from the start.
Yes, after completing the base heavensward story you can unlock New Game+ in Vesper Bay which lets you replay the story
The base game currently isn't in NG+ as SE is planning to rework it in 5.3
Oh I see. I didnāt really miss any important detail in realm reborn right?
depending on how much you skipped you probably skipped the set-up for heavensward and some small starting pieces for stormblood and some lore tidbits
There's pins in #archived-lore-spoilers that have the story for the base game and heavensward
Oh okay thatāll be much easier for me. Ty.
the 2nd most recent one, mainly

Whatās this armor?
Looks mostly like the level 60 dragoon set.
you get it from the level 60 job quest and the centurio vendor in the forgotten knight in ishgard
Thanks
I don't think so. pretty sure you can't interact with it
it is kinda glowy, though
and pretty big
yeah glowy is what im all about rn
yeah it is enormous though... where do i put it....
How do I use oGCDs on SCH if I have to spam Adlo to keep the tank alive? I prefer to save Swift for if I don't succeed and have to ress the tank.
sounds like you or the tank are very undergeared if you feel like you need to spam adlo on the tank
Is there anything that looks like the hemiskin brais of maiming but isnāt restricted by a lvl60 requirement?
@rough anchor unfortunately no
The tanks tend to pull too much.
Idk something about being healed by a SCH makes them go apeshit with pulls.
what level are you currently?
53
Is there way to skip game asking for confirmation? Stuff like using teleporters and such.
I have full Daystar/Ironworks gear
Upgrade your ironworks weapon if you haven't already, that'll help a bit.
You can upgrade it with a Carbontwine by talking to Drake in North Shroud at Hyrstmill
As for healing, spamming Adloquium generally means that you're wasting the actual heal part of the spell unless the tank is taking enough damage to benefit from that too.
And don't be afraid to use Whispering Dawn as a tool to heal just the tank
I only spam Adlo if the tank will deplete the whield by the time next cast finishes
which is depressingly often
If you only consider the shield part of adloquium, you're wasting nearly half the effective healing from it
!action adloquium
Restores target's HP.
Cure Potency: 300
Additional Effect: Grants Galvanize to target, nullifying damage equaling 125% of the amount of HP restored. When critical HP is restored, also grants Catalyze, nullifying damage equaling 125% the amount of HP restored.
Duration: 30s
Effect cannot be stacked with astrologian's Nocturnal Field.
yeah, tank must be severely under-geared if your adlo shield is gone in 1 gcd
I know how Adlo works. When I spam Adlo, it means the tank will benefit from 100% of both the shields and healing.
and usually also means that if I stop spamming adlo, the tank will die
Lustrate is only slightly weaker than Adloquium in terms of potency (600vs 675) so you can generally replace an adloquium with a lustrate if you don't consider lucky critlos
again, something about SCH makes tanks go apeshit with pulling.
Anyways
So should I weave Physick+Lustrates inbetween Adlos? Or just spam Adlo and let Lustrate clip?
and the damage reduc thing
and whisper+fey illu
whichever is needed
i mean its not specific to sch at all, most people are going to pull big
Just remember to not always keep the tank at 100% so your fairy can help chip in
unless they see you're undergeared or you wipe.
Pulling at least two groups of mobs at a time is standard operating procedure for most players.
I never had a problem with tanks overpulling while I was playing AST
Thereās seldom any such thing as āoverpullingā
Hey Im trying to do second coil turn 3. I dont know what to do. I cant find the boss š
Yeah I think so
From the starting area you go forward twice and then go forward-right
Also, in most cases is dumping fairy under the boss optimal (unless it's a big room and/or there's lost of movement)?
Oh right thereās the weird corridor
pretty much, yeah
you went forward an extra time, though you should be able to use that corridor you're facing
Ah nvm lol. Im stupid. Forgot how to turn the pads

So I have a question. If a friend and I unsync ourselves for an extreme boss, can we still get the mount?
Thank you ā¤ļø
Youāll notice āfarm partiesā for ex trials in the party finder quite often.
These are unsynced runs for the mount
(Unless theyāre for level 80 content that canāt be unsynced, of course)
How do I unlock guildhests? I know someone answered this yesterday but I forgot lmfao
do the quest "Simply the Hest" in central shroud/western thanalan/western la noscea
but you need to have unlocked that area's levemete first (bentbranch/horizon/quarterstone)
the exact area depending on what city you started in
And then will unlocking hests unlock the roulette or do I need to do other stuff? The wiki thing linked earlier didn't really say more than unlock guildhests.
You need to have unlocked/completed two of the guildhests to get the roulette
though the roulette itself isn't really rewarding enough to do
relic weps are probably not worth to do while leveling right
it gives low experience compared to the rest of the roulettes and drops off after 50.
never played the game just thought it was cool
yeah, they're a definite grind and you can get weapons nearly equivalent to the last stage in stats for only a couple hundred tomestones (level cap currency)
Mor Dhona for level 50 gear
Idyllshire for level 60 gear
Rhalgr's Reach for level 70 gear
Eulmore for level 80 gear
More XP for me is enough honestly, I'm trying to get SAM to 70 cuz I wanna swap to SAM soon. Other than PotD what should I do for quick levels if I already did my roulettes? X.X cuz PotD ain't gonna be active enough this time of morning. I just waited in queue for 80 minutes and didn't get anything since I haven't unlocked floor 51-100 yet >.<
highest level dungeon you can run that isn't level 50/60/70
old level cap dungeons give low experience compared to the leveling dungeon before them
Soooo Amdapor Keep?
no
amdapor is a lv50 dungeon
aurum vale is the 49 dungeon, and you should run that
You'd run Aurum Vale or Dzemael Darkhold instead of the level 50 dungeons
Well, atleast I'll get moggle tomes for the mounts I want x.x Also the Warring Lanner is what Ex's mount? It's able to be gotten via moogle tomes and I wanna know the boss so I can check it off the list of shit I have to do.
sephirot's
Awesomesauce.
can i ask a dumb question? what exactly are these moogle tomes?
They're tomestones for the special event currently happening
i should probably read the patch notes once in a while D:
You can use them at the Itinerant Moogle vendors located in the three ARR main cities to purchase event exclusive glamour, or a variety of other items which are available in the game through other content.
ohhhh, thank you all so much

Why does the armor in the pic not have shoulder spikes while the ones on google do?
(Also how are the ornaments on that version black)
because the arms they're using removes it
Oh thatās good to know
(Though darn, the gloves I had my eyes on wouldnāt hide them)
And the ornaments on the gear isn't black, its gold.
screenshot is a bit dark, is all
What does riding maps do?
they give the 2nd tier speed for that map
Nice, tks
did the blue mage class swap glitch get patched? i cant seem to do it
the most current way to do it is to do something with a long cast that will one-shot a mob--Flare can sometimes work from BLM, but generally just hardcast veraero/verthunder from RDM is the method you have to use. If this has been very recently patched out though, I don't know, but things that don't have that long cast haven't worked for a while now. Though, the fastest option either way is still just to tag mobs and have someone not in your party kill them for you
damn i dont have blm or rdm leveled,cant get it with smn and sch
you very specifically need that long cast time so no other jobs will work for it other than those jobs with those spells
can't even be any GCD-length cast
ill try grabbing rdm,thanks

rdm still works,ty
What is the highest dps job between melee dps? Was looking into dragoon and am impressed by the potencies of their actions
samurai
SAM. It's a bit unreliable to use potencies to compare across jobs
since they don't really translate directly across, especially after factoring in traits and buffs and such
but even without those traits/buffs, jobs don't all share the same potency scaling (especially comparing physical jobs to caster jobs)
That makes sense
Like with ranged, bard has a bit less dps but more utility than others right
less dps than machinist but more than dancer
DNC has the least dps among ranged?
oh, titan numbers show dnc having slightly more
believe brd got nerfed a bit too hard with them getting more support last patch
I been maining bard until now and changed to DNC to play through stormblood and been feeling it so powerful
dnc has some very strong single hit attacks in their dances
that might help with that feeling
they're still very close to brd
Probably that
yeah, more DoT based jobs can often naturally feel a bit less directly impactful compared to doing something and knocking off a huge chunk of HP from the target
yeah the burst damage from dnc is very different than what I was used to while playing as brd
is SMN linda like brd while BLM kinda like DNC in this aspect as well?
Since SMN has important DoTs
While BLM being focused in burst damage
Not familiar with casters yet tbh, still gotta level up them
well, BLM isn't especially burst, but big sustain. You have slower, bigger hits. SMN has a good portion of their damage coming from their DoTs, egi, and also from oGCD, so lots of little hits, with some parts of your cycle where you peak a bit in damage
I have two lore questions.
- Has there been a precedent of non-Garleans receiving a third eye?
- Can third eyes be removed?
it can take a bit of getting used to at higher levels but it's pretty structured and you have various elements of leeway when you get some practice in

@gritty oracle oh man, i want to make a third eye blind joke, but i can imagine they could be removed, though that sounds super ouchie
Hmm
#archived-lore-spoilers might be a good place to get answers for this, but for now I'll ping responsible <@&587224778088120331> folks since it's far from my forte
@gritty oracle ||She does||
And for your other questions ||From what i've heard from Rommy, only pure blooded Garleans have the third eye, and it can be hypothetically removed||
All good
Though Cal will probably be the next lore expert online, so i'd double check with them
š

- No, only pureblood Garleans have a third eye.
- No, it's an organ, and fairly hard, it'd probably be painful and difficult to remove it.
Especially since it's right up against their pineal gland.
idk about the reliability of the fandom wiki but it says ||She wears a narrow headband that covers the "third-eye" pure-blooded Garleans are known for. ||
for lucia specifically
Wait third eyes are an organ??? I thought it was some kind of object inserted to them as kids or something
nope, its something they're born with
After 6 weeks on doman enclave i unlocked junkmonger but she doesn't sell the yanxia merchant's haori x_x what is happening
Its a quest reward
Buying it from the vendor is just there to replace it if something happens
hey my friend is new and wants to buy the job skip for samurai (Tales of Adventure: One Samurai's Journey I & II), he owns all the expansions but hasn't unlocked samurai yet
how does this work? will he not be able to play the class until it's unlocked?
no, the skip unlocks and completes all job quests up to lv 70
so If he wants to buy a main story skip and job skip, he should choose a base game class?
nah he can do SAM just fine
even if he's not a stormblood content yet?
like Kael mentioned it unlocks the job and completes the quests for you, you can jump right in as SAM like that if you really want to
the skips don't care whether you have the job unlocked or not, it only cares that you have the appropriate expansion tied to your account
ok dope. thanks for your guys help
sam doesn't have msq requirements anyway
There's any way to make teleports cheaper?
There is an FC buff you can use, or if you have squadrons unlocked you can get manuals from there that do the same thing
And FC stands for what? š¤
Free Companys are the Guilds in FFXIV
Once you played a bit teleport costs wont matter at all anyway.
^
you get enough gil just by playing the game to afford traveling where you need to

Idk how much late game stuff gonna cost so, I'd rather save any gil I can.
The amount you'll spend on teleports is insignificant
Ah, I have plenty Gil already, around 38k
And it saves so much time when doing MSQ
Make sure to set your Return Point for a free teleport to that point every 30 mins. You can set favorites which give you a 50% discount to your favorite teleport points
you won't need Gil in endgame since you buy gear with tomestones
items that cost a significant amount of gil tend to be vanity items like pets, housing furnishings, glamor outfits, etc.
Gil is effectively only used for Glamour
But all I've been doing lately is teleport and ship from place to place to fufill quests so I was curious If I can't make this even a minor expense
Hmm.. I see.
The only thing I've bought for gil was a level 60 armor set
And that only cost me 10k
Are you playing tank, heal or dps?
Ah don't worry about teleport costs then
Tank and Heal often get bonus gil & exp when doing roulettes ("adventure in need" bonus")
how long will it take to grind out a Lemegeton Anemos in Eureka?
I heard it's complete shit if u dont have an entire server running around spawning FATEs
top-end crafted weapons and armor at the endgame can theoretically be BiS (best in slot) with enough materia and those can get expensive, but ultimately aren't really necessary
Only really neccessary if you are raiding
and raiding the hardest content
And most people who raid have a crafter in their group who give you a discount/make it for only mats costs
crafted weapons are never BiS and crafted gear is very rarely BiS. It is good for early prog for a new raid tier though
in short: don't worry about Gil š
but unless it's like high end prog most folks don't really bother with it at all
Heyo! So I've only been playing for about 2-3 months now and only recently began levelling a botanist. Last night I discovered a map (my third ever) but it says I need 8 people 60+? Also, the location looks like it's above an area I can't reach by foot. Is a group necessary or can I solo (I haven't made any actual friends yet in game) and do I need to unlock flight to reach this area (on top of a large rock)
flight will be helpful. If you are level 80, it should be soloable though bringing friends is always great.
Yeah, friends are great q.q so I hear. Lol srsly though, ty. I'll start working on unlocking flight then. Thank you!
Np. Have fun!
how long will it take to grind out a Lemegeton Anemos in Eureka?
thats the summoner relic i think. It really depends on how much you grind at it and if there are other players inside Anemos to take down NMs with you
so any estimates like how many hours solo or with a few people?
A week minimum if you only do eureka
hard to say and it also depends on your elemental level
from lvl 1, yea a week would be a conservative estimate
impossible to say because it depends on instance activity in your datacenter when you go in
We can't give an accurate number
Its based on how many players are in the instance, and how hard you grind
i just finished msq roulette cm with a level 54 job needing 1.8mil to level... and only got a 372k daily bonus. that seems... really low/wrong...?
thatās only 20% of a level...
Yeah that's about right
geez. thought it gave more than that.
sum total was about 70% of a level with partial rest
Only praetorium gives a dumb amount of EXP due to the sheer time needed just for cutscenes
castrum is usually around 20%, prae is like 60%? or something
ah. didnāt realize the difference was that stark.
yea, prae is like an 50 minute - an hour run
castrum is usually like 30mins~, maybe a bit shorter
prae is 45-50
longer run means it gives more
i know it gave more... just didnāt realize it was THAT different.
yeah all i get is cm. sucks.
So my friend who invited me said he messaged me in the game, and all I see is (General) (Battle) (Event) in the chat. Where do you go to see the friends chat?
It'll come up as a pink message under the general tab
So it's long gone rip
cause It was a couple days ago
and I've been looking for it

Chat log is saved in My Documents

yeah no ffxiv is terrible for communication
where do I go to see My Documents or do you mean you actually save it in your "My documents" folder in your pc
and @slate arrow yea I'm trying to message him back
how can I do that
1: don't, just use discord

@fresh lodge wait you can look up logs like that?
Yeah but it isn't great
I wouldn't have thought so
so I never really played tank before, is Gunbreaker a good introduction class?
yes but no
Tanking itself is relatively simple
Just turn on tank stance and make sure every mob is targeting you
The main difficulty with tanks is knowing when and where to use your cooldowns
personally, I wouldn't recommend gunbreaker to learn as it's personal migitation is quite less in comparison to the other jobs
So you don't have a lot of "fuck up" room if any
(in dungeons, that is.)
(trials/normal raids as long as the healer isn't literally asleep you have to actually try to die)
I see, thanks
About to finish ARR, is there any non MSQ stuff I should do before starting heavensward story?
level dragoon if you want some Easter eggs but otherwise nah
CT?
ah crystal tower, the 24man raid for ARR
Ohh
its unlocked in mor dhona
Will do
Is level skipping worth it for a new player?
No IMO
You level up really fast with the double exp under level 70 anyways
I got to 60 just doing main story in like a week and a bit
Its also basically useless if you don't pair it with a story skip
^

Ive seen somewhere long ago retainer ventures can go down to 40 min instead of 1h is this true?
is there a way to make a macro where if I have summon 1 active, pressing it will use summon 3, and vice versa
Well yes but I wouldn't recommend it
It involves using hotbar clone and replace commands
What they're listed as is the length they'll be
they do, actually
Checking on my alt who's retainer is 50, their 41-49 hunting missions are 1h vs my main's which is 80, and those are 40mins
so higher level means that previous hunting/gathering missions do go down, to a point
61-70 are 50m with a max lvl retainer, 71-80 is an hr, and everything below that is 40mins
time adjustments are only for hunting/gathering missions.
@hoary storm
@crystal bluff while it is likely not possible to do this anymore, at least read the story for the Bahamut dungeons. They arenāt in DF queues and they are super difficult but (allegedly) the story is engaging and affects 3.0 at least a tiny tiny bit
Ok
I havenāt done it yet thatās why I say allegedly lol
I havenāt seen that story
You'd probably be able to find PF groups for it
especially if you say first timer bonus but don't expect people to run it sync
I think the only thing it affects in MSQ is some dialogue in HW
and its doesn't specifically affect 3.0's story
Thatās about all I know
is affects a character's dialogue in the patch msq
yeah its a small handful of lines that just acknowledge you did the questline since it'd be relevant to the story. since dragoon, the job, is a job that came from ishgard
how they greet you is affected by it
What's the best way to level combat classes? Im thinking of starting with dps (since i know how to do that already) then migrate to different roles
MSQ > roulettes > dungeons > deep dungeons (Palace of The Dead/Heaven on High)
general recommended leveling is: 1-15= hunting log/fates/palace of the dead.
15+ daily leveling roulette (+alliance/msq 50+)
tanks/healers: highest level dungeon (except 50/60/70, do 49/59/69 dungeons instead)
dps: palace of the dead (51-60 floor spam)/heaven on high at 61 (21-30 floors)
that said if you don't want to do potd/hoh, do fates/beast tribes/hunt bills while waiting in queue for a dungeon
As DPS you're going to have a lot of free time waiting for duties, so I suggest you do hunting logs/levequests/fates at low level while waiting (unless you have a healer/tank friend, then it won't take long on the queue)
the egi glamour command isn't working im typing /egiglamour "Titan-Egi" "Ruby Carbuncle"
ah thank you
Is it worth skipping the SB expansion? after 8 days and 8 hours playtime I'm only at msq lvl 64 and it feels like such a grind
no
I want to start SHB and join my FC, but there's so many quests
just enjoy the story, thats all gonna be there when you get to it
This is a FF game first and MMO second

new player here - just transitioned from free trial and im very excited. since i wanted to explore a bit before moving on, i am overleveled. i JUST finished my level 20 quest to unlock subclass and im already 36.... i looked at the MSQ list and its massive. since the exp gain is so fast (preferred server) i am considering playing multiple characters through the main story at the same time
thoughts?
multiple characters or multiple jobs?
i heard MSQ is a good source of xp and it feels like such a waste on the overleveled job
jobs** thank you
yeah, i figured you'd still be in ARR content at that point though
and then you have to grind all the way up to your MSQ to start being productive again
no 70 is past arr, somwhere in late heavensward

hmm
