clear bronze
#

is it btn?

leaden ginkgo
#

Fisher

#

I think

raven sage
#

It uses both btn and min pretty consistently

#

fish is rarer

clear bronze
#

miner = min?

raven sage
#

yeah

leaden ginkgo
#

But yeah btn I think but cul is the only class that supports fisher. Technically you can reduce fish to aethersands so it can support some other classes

raven sage
#

salt and water

clear bronze
#

tbh i really just want it so i can make robe lettuce

twilit arch
#

Alc also uses FSH

leaden ginkgo
#

Ah okay

clear bronze
#

how long does it take to level up btn

#

"roughly"

#

is it as fast as doh classes

#

cul took me only like 3/4 days lol

#

once i could do the restoration/weekly stuff

stray saffron
#

gatherers are super super fast now

#

at least 1-50

clear bronze
#

wats the best way to go about that?

wintry chasm
#

Leves

gritty oracle
#

How long is the second cutscene marathon of 2.55?

lilac flume
#

where can i get lvl 50-60 doh accessories? ishgard has lvl 50 but i need higher, all my doh are 58 rn

languid kernel
#

if i have a piece of dungeon gear in the glamour dresser, can I get it again in the dungeon?

green grail
#

yes

#

unique is basically "one per inventory"

#

you can have one in inventory, each retainer, saddlebag, glamour dresser

leaden ginkgo
#

The cutscene at the end of 2.55 isnt that long at all, it's only the one in Ul'dah that takes a long time

oak spindle
#

would greed ever surpass need in loot? like what if the person who rolled need got 0? would the person who greeded get it?

green grail
#

no

twilit arch
#

need is always higher than greed

green grail
#

need always wins

twilit arch
#

and need can never roll 0

wintry chasm
#

@gritty oracle second?

#

There is only one 45 minute ish one no?

twilit arch
#

the worst rolls you can get with need/greed is 1

Wait, can you skip clams in sastasha? lol

green grail
#

yeah just keep running

glad pewter
#

oh thats awesome and wish I knew before

dusk zenith
#

is it better to go botanist or miner in terms of profitability?

wintry chasm
#

One isn't better than the other @dusk zenith

dusk zenith
#

ohh okay

#

are they both the same in terms of ease to leveling up also?

wintry chasm
#

I mean yeah, they play exactly the same

#

The only one that is different is fisher

dusk zenith
#

ohh thanks

open coral
#

You also don't have to choose one or the other.

#

You can level both.

peak harbor
#

Okay just gonna ask this here, since the main chat is busy discussing healers: does anyone have tips for mt corel

#

I can't even get up the first rock

#

I know this isn't very important but I just wasted 20 minutes of my live

gritty oracle
#

Does Fey Illumination work on oGCDs, fairy healing and whisper?

green grail
#

i think soooo but i'm not 100% sure

#

it says healing magic not healing actions so probably

#

nvm it only works on gcds

#

so doesn't affect whispering dawn either

gloomy ice
#

@full compass Late answer, I know, but there is a trick on controller that makes targeting infinitely easier. While you're holding L2 or R2 for skills, you can tap L1 or R1 to quickly cycle through all visible targets. Sounds unwieldy on paper but in practice it makes switching targets much faster.

gloomy scroll
#

can agree. Makes it so much easier to tag enemies with dots while on the run

crude relic
#

To add onto what Eton said, if you use a Elite controller or a controller with buttons on the bottom you should be able to change the input of those buttons to left or right on the D-pad and that also switches your target, usually for me if I'm in combat I do that cuz it changes to enemies 90% of the time I'm in combat and it targets allies the other 10% of the time. The L1 or R1 trick would work extremely well on an Elite controller.

proper junco
#

is 7.5mill enough for 5.2 new crafted gear?

twilit arch
#

that depends entirely on your data center

slate arrow
#

The prices are always going to be a xpensive the first week or so

twilit arch
#

but just from past experience, probably not

slate arrow
#

They stabilize by the third weekish

#

sometimes might take a month or more

obsidian patio
#

Yeah Day 1 prices for Gilgamesh is like 1-2m+ per piece

#

That’s day 1, of course

upbeat storm
#

do we have any info on the mats required for the new crafting

obsidian patio
#

Nope!

#

Most of it will probably be new stuff

upbeat storm
#

do the cluster prices go up or do most people have a full 9999 stock on them

#

also is it possible to store more than 9999 cyrstals

obsidian patio
#

Never payed close attention to cluster price for patch updates, and no 9999 is max

#

BUT

#

Retainers can store crystals

slate arrow
#

The max per character is 9999*10

gritty oracle
#

Is desynth important/worth doing?

slate arrow
#

9999 on player, 9999 on retainer

#

not really

#

It's an easier way to get expneisve/hard mats but almost everything but rare furniture can be bought/crafted

green grail
#

it can get you some well selling mats for basically free once you have it leveled

#

like free sublime solutions from current dungeon gear vs buying it at like 120 white scrips a piece

leaden ginkgo
#

Where can I buy a secondary weaver tool of level 50?

#

Except market

twilit arch
#

Craft it

leaden ginkgo
#

I remember one area in La Noscea, it had hot springs

#

I think, they were sold there

twilit arch
#

there is no purchaseable secondary tool for lvl 50

#

you either have to craft it or buy it from the marketboard

leaden ginkgo
#

Ohh

hazy whale
#

Almost done getting every healer and tank job to 50. Now want to do the same with dps but heard potd is better than dungeons because of queue time. But when I try to do potd, wait time for floors 1-10 and now 11-20 are 20 minutes. Am I doing something wrong? Is potd only better with a fixed party?

onyx kiln
#

so anyone else who happens to not only take a lot of screen shoots but also have the issue where some pictures doesn't show up right away and despite having it sorted by date, having some images being slightly jumbled?

modest lichen
#

I've never had the luxury of super long q times for dps in dungeons but potd is def better with a fixed party because lesser wait times.

slate arrow
#

no with potd people either only queue for 1-10 or 51-60

#

if you need to unlock 51-60 throw up a PF and hope to god people join

open coral
#

Honestly I've never found there to be a significant time advantage to doing PotD as dps over just queueing daily roulettes, no matter what people say.

#

IMO it's significantly less effort and headache to simply queue for the roulettes once per day, and read a book or play a game on my Switch while I wait. Even for dps queues, those rarely go beyond 20 minutes for any kind of content.

Plus, doing 5 roulette dungeons per week will potentially also clear three challenges - run 3 dungeon roulettes, run 5 dungeons, and commend 5 players, which will net you at least 1 additional full level in total (more at lower levels) for the week.

hazy whale
#

@slate arrow a PF?

slate arrow
#

party finder

#

it's your best friend for finding parties in niche content

hazy whale
#

How does one PF for potd?

proud willow
#

there's a Deep Dungeon category

#

and in a cross-server party, the party leader can still queue into PotD as long as every member is in Quarrymill on their respective server

rich bay
#

South Shroud is enough for PotD.

spark igloo
#

When purchasing something off the mogstation, will you be taxed?

sturdy mason
#

How is Dredge different from Unearth?

#

Other than, dredge only working on next hit instead of all hits and being the same cost

#

which seems to make Dredge completely pointless

slate arrow
#

depends on your region and how you purchase it

#

i haven't been taxed when buying stuff via crysta so

#

your mileage may vary

whole wasp
#

Dredge and unearth can stack together.

full compass
#

If I bought the complete edition but didn’t pay yet for sub, am I still eligible to be recruited?

#

Lvl50, if it makes any difference

gloomy ice
#

As long as you haven’t purchased game time yet, you can register for a referral, yes.

twilit arch
#

Yes, so long as you haven't paid for a subscription, you can still be recruited

full compass
#

awesome

#

And if I have a friend in the same condition, can we recruit eachother?

#

Or once you are recruited you can’t recruit?

pallid wharf
#

hey could someone help, I can't find the dungeons to start 2.5

twilit arch
#

Pretty sure you can recruit each other @full compass

full compass
#

thanks a lot for the help!

warped nest
#

hey could someone help, I can't find the dungeons to start 2.5

#

Have you check your duty list?

pallid wharf
#

Yeah I don't see it anywhere

#

i've been keeping an eye on the wiki to see what to do next but the quests just aren't there for me to start

twilit arch
#

What's your current msq?

pallid wharf
#

I'm trying to start Good Intentions, beginning of 2.5

twilit arch
#

oh and you've not done the hard mode trials for garuda/titan/ifrit?

pallid wharf
#

yeah those are what i'm having trouble finding

little swift
#

those are under trials its a red face thing icon

twilit arch
#

did you do the quest "A reoccuring problem" in vesper bay?

pallid wharf
#

yeah

#

I just can't continue the msq any further until I complete those 3 sidequests

twilit arch
#

does thancred have a quest for you in waking sands?

pallid wharf
#

he doesn't

sturdy mason
#

Can you craft for people without them having to trade you mats? Like a "Request Craft" feature or something?

wintry chasm
#

No

twilit arch
#

have you done ifrit hard?

pallid wharf
#

I haven't done any of the 3

#

I can't find the quests to unlock the dungeons

twilit arch
#

look in the trial section of the duty finder

#

they're not dungeons

slate arrow
#

they're trials

#

basically boss fights

pallid wharf
#

trials? I don't see that anywhere

slate arrow
#

it's the angry face in duty finder

little swift
#

dungeons are the blue cave icon

#

you look for the red angry face that industrial has stated

pallid wharf
#

I see the regular versions but no hard version

slate arrow
#

did you do the quests to unlock them

#

everything is locked behind quests

#

there's no direct unlocks

#

most of the time, anyways

pallid wharf
#

yeah thancred doesn't have any quests for me

#

which he supposedly gives me one

slate arrow
#

are you in the waking sands or the rising stones

wintry chasm
#

d-don't the hard mode trial quests move to the city-state GC HQs after you ||move to the Rising Stones|| in MSQ?

pallid wharf
#

waking sands

twilit arch
#

no

wintry chasm
#

You sure?

twilit arch
#

the EX trials are with the GCs

#

hard modes are in the waking sands

#

they don't move even after that msq

slate arrow
#

pretty sure you go talk to urianger for hard mode unless i'm remembering wrong

twilit arch
#

urianger starts the questline

#

but you talk to the respective scion for that area for the unlock quest itself

little swift
#

only gale-force warning is with the gc, o wake me up befor eyou ghomoro and ifrit bleeds are at waking sands

twilit arch
#

so thancred for ifrit, papalymo for garuda, and y'shtola for titan

pallid wharf
#

But thancred doesn't have any quests

twilit arch
#

can you screenshot the duty finder window for trials

pallid wharf
little swift
#

i see urianger has a quest there

leaden ginkgo
#

Btw is there anywhere official statement that SE wants the classes balanced based off on support Bc the meme from sam/blms support is their dmg HAS to come from somewhere

twilit arch
#

You're certain you've done the quest "A Recurring Problem"?

wintry chasm
#

They haven't

#

It's in the MSQ tracker

twilit arch
#

oh, well then you need to do that first so talk to Minfilla in the solar of the waking sands

wintry chasm
#

^

#

@leaden ginkgo are you saying "does Square Enix balance jobs around some buffing the party to make up for lower personal DPS and other jobs having higher personal DPS but no buffs to the party?"

leaden ginkgo
#

Yes

#

That

#

Exactly that

#

I cant find amy official statement on that, only a lot of people saying that its that way

wintry chasm
#

Hmmm, have they said anything official about that being the case? I feel like they must have at least suggested that is how it works but yeah they aren't wrong. It's basically the case

slate arrow
#

they basically said that with the last balance pass

#

BRD got some partywide song buffs in exchange for a minor potency loss, for example

rare sable
#

@Zar the numbers dont lie. If you look at fflogs ranking/chart, you'll see it

#

(Though sometimes they miscalculate and we end up with certain class too weak/too strong for it's utility)

leaden ginkgo
#

Is there a way to add a sound that would play when I sold something on the market?

#

Like when you get a tell

#

👄

slate arrow
#

no

ashen pewter
#

Is there a guide for crafting?

sturdy mason
#

When I hit 80 on miner, should I get the level 80 scrip exchange gear?

slate arrow
#

if you don't plan on melding yes otherwise HQ 430 is good enough

sturdy mason
#

So I have to craft that?

ashen pewter
#

ty

slate arrow
#

yeah but it's relatively easy to gather the materials for

sturdy mason
#

raw materials?

#

or intermediate?

slate arrow
#

also you do have to craft some since it's only left side gear

#

raw materials

sturdy mason
#

I was planning on getting my DoL up to 80 before I work on my DoH, they are only around level 50-60

slate arrow
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

sturdy mason
#

so I guess I'd have to have someone else craft it

near path

Is there a place to disable sound notices when I'm in cutscenes and similar?

no, /shout specifically does not stay

I just realized I forgot to attune to the Limsa Aetheryte when I first visited Limsa during the envoy quest. Will I have a chance to do that again, or will I need to run my way over?

#

Cool, ty

leaden ginkgo
#

Does it make any difference what class retainers have?

#

Is there any class that will get me more useful things when they are sent on ventures?

jade quartz
#

All combat classes function the same.

#

Gatherers are different.

#

There are effectively four retainer classes in terms of differences: combat, miner, botanist, fisher.

#

They get different items from ventures.

#

Having a combat retainer to fetch monster-dropped materials like skins is very handy

#

And miner is useful for gathering topsoils if you have a house with a garden patch.

#

Fisher isn’t very handy, but since fewer people use fisher retainers, the minions that drop rarely from 18 hour waterside exploration ventures sell for more then the equivalent minions from the other retainer classes.

#

That’s the only noteworthy advantage of a fisher retainer.

atomic echo
#

i’m in haukke manor hard

#

for the final boss, in the third time she summons the add, the boss absorbs the add super quick

#

so we don’t have time to kill it and we wipe

#

what can we do?

little swift
#

you can lb2 it

#

or use limit break to make it a bit easier

wintry chasm
#

Don't hurt the boss too much

gloomy ice
#

Otherwise, all you can do is to hold deeps until she summons each one then focus the adds.

wintry chasm
#

If you hurt her too much she eats fast

atomic echo
#

so basically

#

don’t hurt her too much meaning

#

don’t attack her as much?

#

cuz yea we get her to like half or 3/4 of her health down

jade quartz
#

Slow dps and kill adds asap

#

When she reaches a certain health threshold she will immediately eat the add

#

If DPS is bringing her down very fast, she may pass the thresholds for summoning the add and eating the add immediately after one another

#

Leaving you no time to kill it.

atomic echo
#

ok yea

#

we just finished it

#

lmao so we did have to kill her slowly

jade quartz
#

Yeah

atomic echo
#

ty guys sm

jade quartz
#

Jank early boss design which didn’t take future gear and balance buffs into account wearycarby

#

Some ARR extreme primals have similar problems when done unsynced.

atomic echo
#

yea we wiped like

#

four or five times

#

and were confused af

#

and we already got her to like half health in like 30 seconds

tacit palm
#

if I don't want to use materia 7s in my gear, do I just transmute all of them?

#

or are there other uses/ways to get materia 8 :V

obsidian patio
#

Depends on the price difference between T7 and T8 materia IMO

#

My general luck with transmuting into a higher grade is generally around 10% on a bad day so I would just sell your T7 materia if it isn’t like 8-10x cheaper than T8 stuff

tacit palm
#

😮 kk

#

ty

obsidian patio
#

You can get free T7/T8 combat materia tokens for running leveling roulette as the role in need, same for alliance roulette too

gloomy ice
#

They’re also rather common drops from A rank and S rank hunts.

obsidian patio
#

Shadowbringers A/S ranks, to be precise.

drowsy nova
#

Any idea what the ability names for PvP are for macros?

jade quartz
#

/pvpac

drowsy nova
#

awesome, thanks

#

hmm, any idea what the command is so that it'll show charges for abilities with charges?

jade quartz
#

What do you mean?

#

On the icon?

#

It does that automatically

#

You won't see it on the icon in the macro window, but when it's on your hotbar it will show the charges along with the timer etc.

sturdy mason
#

how can I level my botanist past 61? I am following the ffxivguild.com guide but I can't farm collectable nodes. I can't get the collectability high enough. My gear is pretty updated too

jade quartz
#

How updated?

#

I recommend leves

#

if you're not already using up your allowances leveling crafters that is

sturdy mason
#

level 61 gear for the most part

jade quartz
#

HQ?

sturdy mason
#

No because broke

jade quartz
#

that's why

sturdy mason
#

really it all has to be HQ?

jade quartz
#

leves are real good.

#

NQ/HQ is a big stat difference for crafters and gatherers especially, even when just leveling

#

but you'll be able to do leves fine

sturdy mason
#

is there level 60 scrip gear?

jade quartz
#

Yes

sturdy mason
#

should I get that instead?

#

the level 70 scrip gear was amazing

jade quartz
#

since you've already got the 61 nq gear I wouldn't bother

#

like it's good yeah

#

but

#

work v_v

#

I never used scrip gear

#

just leves

#

do your leves man

sturdy mason
#

Leves feel so slow though

jade quartz
#

It's like three leves per level!

sturdy mason
#

you don't consider that a lot?

little swift
#

not really

wintry chasm
#

Yeah that's pretty low

jade quartz
#

That's really fast.

sturdy mason
#

Well I guess I gotta stop being a whiny b***h at some point

#

Better than all the time I've spent wasted waiting on unspoiled nodes

#

I'm sorry, but are these escort quests a joke? They'll only follow to the location I beckon from and there's a short range on said beckon? What kind of nonsense . . .

Yeah no one likes those leves

dire prism
#

anyone know what im doing wrong with this sorting macro? It works for armoury and inventory but not woking for retainer

jade quartz
#

You can't sort your retainer's inventory without having the retainer inventory open.

dire prism
#

i see. i thought that but my hotbars go away when i have them open. i guess if i made a keyboard shortcut i might still be able to execute it

#

ty @jade quartz

jade quartz
#

can just right-click and sort

dire prism
#

i know but that gets annoying. thats the whole reason im making the macro

So don't answer if it's a spoiler, but why is this Starved Pup a fan of the legate? Man's Best Friend quest.

I like beckon quests, so speak for yourself >_>

@near path minion descriptions are usually tongue-in-cheek.

#

Well I figured it was a joke. I just don't get the joke. I've only seen the legatus once in a cutscene at this point.

@sturdy mason nope

Are there any other XP scrolls besides the Squadron ones anywhere?

The FC Actions that boost experience are basically those. There’s also bonus EXP items for crafters and gatherers from the grand company and scrip people

I see.

oh my god why does this stille xi s t

obsidian patio
#

@sturdy mason scrip exchange

slate arrow
#

but basically for positionals rear = the empty part of the circle behind, sides are always the lined parts

#

the only time this changes is when there's a full circle around the mob

#

this means that positional requirements are always fulfilled since you can't physically hit the boss's actual rear

near path

Not sure what you mean by a full circle around.

slate arrow
#

regular circle

obsidian patio
#

Flank goes a bit further than that towards the front, but yeah

upbeat storm
#

how do i que for potd

slate arrow
#

you need to unlock PoTD first

#

and then you go to quarrymill and talk to the captain

upbeat storm
#

is it dps only?

leaden ginkgo
#

flank is 90 degrees

obsidian patio
#

No degen, any role can queue for it

#

Mainly DPS do since it’s an alternate to waiting in a longer queue for dungeons

near path
#

How long should Satasha take? Trying to decide if it's something I can pound out before bed.

leaden ginkgo
slate arrow
#

all the dungeons take anywhere from 10-20 minutes depending on the party

near path
#

Nice diagram

#

OK, ty.

upbeat storm
#

can you enter potd as a party of 2 and have it filled?

slate arrow
#

yes if you queue as a matched party

sharp tapir
#

hmm everytime I open a coffer, it seems to be going to one person

#

anyways uh, how do I keep track

#

of enmity

fresh lodge
#

Some dungeon coffers just drop mats

sharp tapir
#

yeah, when it drops mats

#

it never goes to me D:

#

loool

#

doesn't matter

fresh lodge
#

You're not always going to get mats

sharp tapir
#

yeah

#

do I have to check my teammates health bars to see if they're gettin attacked

#

cause it gets hectic at times

obsidian patio
#

You can make the party UI bigger/move it closer to the center of the screen

fresh lodge
#

There should be the enmity list which shows all of the current mobs you have aggro on

#

Red means you're the main target of the enemy, so every enemy should be red on the list

sharp tapir
obsidian patio
#

Yep

sharp tapir
#

ai thanks

#

is there an exact time on how long it lasts

#

before I have to aoe again

obsidian patio
#

For groups bigger than 2 mobs AoE is your best damage

#

But two-three AoE combos is generally enough for two targets

#

Or just keep swapping your single target rotation between them

sharp tapir
#

got it, thanks

#

gotta say

untold ermine
#

Miner and botanist share all equipment except main/offhand , right?

obsidian patio
#

Yep

sharp tapir
#

the Luigi's Mansion Duty was pretty neat

#

nice setting

shrewd relic
#

If i buy a retainer level up off mog station will it come with gear?

near path
#

So went through Satasha. Party seemed to know how to already run it. Seemed like there were alternate ways through? Places we didn't go down and lots of notes about placed being closed off. Are there usually different ways to complete a dungeon like GW2?

obsidian patio
#

@shrewd relic from what I can tell, the boost gives no gear

#

Dungeons only have one way to complete them

near path
#

So were the places being closed off alternate objectives or . . .?

obsidian patio
#

Just extra stuff for the most part

#

Maybe an extra treasure coffer that usually just has potions or a housing item material

near path
#

Ah

jade quartz
#

"_____ is sealed off!" is just the message for a boss arena being sealed off.

@near path There's only one route in FFXIV whereas you have multiple paths in GW2

#

is there any augmented variants of the Stormblood Job gear set?

jade quartz
#

Yes, obtained via Eureka.

onyx kiln
#

please tell me you mean that like there is a store at the start and not as in i have to actully do the eureka content

jade quartz
#

Must farm protean crystals and Anemos crystals from FATEs and mob chains in Eureka Anemos, then exchange them at Port Surgate within Eurea Anemos.

#

You need to do the content.

onyx kiln
#

😭

jade quartz
#

it's super easy at this point

onyx kiln
#

got wrecked just outside the gates last and first time i tried it

obsidian patio
#

You probably accidentally went north into the level 9 wolves

onyx kiln
#

possibly, did try both north and east

blissful lava
#

Hello, I'm not sure if this is the right place but... I'm thinking about transferring servers for a long time but... no idea which server is good for me

#

Any advice?

rare sable
#

what qualities are you looking for in a server?

strange prism
#

What's the profiest thing to gather rn? i don't have any crafter but have MIn and BTN at 80 full geared.

blissful lava
#

Well... I'm in the middle east so, time is important, English speakers are preferred, a crowded server.. hmm... I dont mind any kind of activity tbh since I'm looking for an active server, also I'm on Light, Phoenix Currently

alpine shadow
#

well, most people speak english in the eu, so i dont think its much of a problem?

#

but there are fr/german focused servers

blissful lava
#

Uhuh

#

Phoenix is German I think

#

Not sure about the time difference though

#

The reason I joined Phoenix was.. because i love what the Phoenix represents 😳

alpine shadow
#

isnt middle east like 2h away from the gmt timezone?

blissful lava
#

And.. my region/account is EU

#

@alpine shadow eh? Uh... not sure l

#

I'll check

alpine shadow
#

nvm, 3.5h around so

blissful lava
#

4hours ahead of GMT

alpine shadow
#

depends on where on middle east

#

oh

blissful lava
#

Phoenix is ?

alpine shadow
#

well, in EU its pretty much the same timezone

#

GMT time

#

since fr and german is just 1h away

blissful lava
#

Hmm... the server merge benefited US better..

alpine shadow
#

server merge?

blissful lava
#

Well... EU servers were once on one data centre I think

alpine shadow
#

yeah they were split

#

and 2 more servers were added, one on each dc

blissful lava
#

Yes thus my comment about US servers

#

They benefited more imo

#

Is it wise for an EU player to play on a US server or JPN server ? In terms of connectivity

alpine shadow
#

not really

sinful breach
#

unless you want to do hc raiding no

alpine shadow
#

(saying chaos does not raid)

sinful breach
#

enjoy that sweet sweet packet loss and high ping

alpine shadow
#

and that timezone difference

#

you might be playing when everyone is not

#

in the eu, the timezone differ from yours arent that bad

#

and you are more likely to find eu players +gmt than -gmt

#

unless they play from america

sinful breach
#

its really in the middle of eu and jp dc tho, albeit i'd recommend staying in the eu since people actually speak english

blissful lava
#

Oh

#

Okay

#

I need to look harder then ❤️

alpine shadow
#

well, if you have a specific community to join, for example finding other players at the same timezone.

#

then dc matters

blissful lava
#

Not really.. I'm an introvert so.. 😳

alpine shadow
#

i think that will go fine either way, as long as you are able to find where you belong

vague juniper
#

Is there any way I can see my stat of how many times I've cleared palace?

alpine shadow
#

how many times cleared upto 200?

vague juniper
#

I was just curious how many times I've done it in general.

#

If there's any way I can see that.

alpine shadow
#

atm, there isnt anyway to see any achievement for potd for how many clears in total

blissful lava
#

Is there a server population/statistics/information guide around?

sinful breach
#

googles your best friend here, iirc there arent any official numbers on the server population statistics

alpine shadow
#

You shouldnt worry too much about population

blissful lava
#

I'm thinking more of.. what kind of server is this?

#

More ppl is better imo

frank wigeon
#

i got locked out when i used anothre computer to log in in the same room, what can i do to fix this please?

blissful lava
#

I'm excited sorry... I will renew my sub soon you see for the Events ❤️

alpine shadow
#

locked out, what exactly do you mean?

onyx kiln
#

so how does Eureka work? do i get to keep all the levels and progress after i leave the island or do i have to grind that up again anew each time?

alpine shadow
#

Keep level

rare sable
#

You keep the level, no need for saves

#

You would be driven mad if you need to re-grind every time....

frank wigeon
#

due to a change in your connection settings or athe direction of suspicious access to your account log in has been restricted

alpine shadow
#

ah, then you probably need to contact support then

onyx kiln
#

that is one of the reasons i thought people disliked eureka

rare sable
#

Its allllrighttt ish in a party

onyx kiln
#

is it doable solo?

rare sable
#

But solo eureka is too brain melting

#

You can

sinful breach
#

people just dislike eureka because of how grindy it was, but you can do it solo now with the 150% echo

alpine shadow
#

it was the light grind

#

i think

rare sable
#

But it'll be painfully slow

sinful breach
#

150% echo tho and its much easier to do your logs so its not that slow anymore

rare sable
#

And pretty sure you need to join party to get full reward on a train

onyx kiln
#

is there a lot of stuff in Eureka that is only available there. like relics, mounts and such

rare sable
#

Yes

alpine shadow
#

and BA

#

its endgame eureka stuff

languid kernel
#

is there info on the new crafted gear in 5.2?

alpine shadow
#

no

languid kernel
#

how do we know that new crafted gear is being added?

obsidian patio
#

They've always added a new set of crafted combat gear with raid tiers in the even patches

jade quartz
#

It's a new raid tier, therefore new gear tiers.

#

There's no reasonable doubt.

languid kernel
#

i see thanks

leaden ginkgo
#

How many MSQ mounts are there after Yol?

green grail
#

like one and a half expansions

#

oh mounts I read quests

leaden ginkgo
#

Lol

obsidian patio
#

Looks like the Yol is the most recent MSQ mount

leaden ginkgo
#

You dont get one from ShB MSQs?

obsidian patio
#

Looks like it, according to the mount tracker I'm looking at.

light drift
#

Hey, I'm a brand new player. Should I ignore side Quests and just go for the main quests?

#

Im on a double exp world

whole wasp
#

go for msq , you can safely ignore sidequest , you should consider doing bluequest except so "you want to be XXX" untill you are ready

#

bluequest unlocks alot of stuff like glamour, dye, optional dungeons etc so consider doing them.

agile gorge
#

I would so the level 15 novice questline for gear and a ring that boosts exp until level 30

#

I started about a week ago, the beginner guide helped a lot

#

!faq newplayertips

zinc orbitBOT
light drift
#

Thanks for your help guys! Where can I find the novice quest line? Is it marked somehow?

#

I dont want to miss it

obsidian patio
#

it's right when you unlock the first dungeon Sastasha

gloomy ice
#

The main quests will guide you to it but you can take the training course the minute you hit level 15. You can find it in Western La Noscea or in any of the Adventurers Guilds.

wintry chasm
#

It's not exactly a questline though but what Wynne said

#

On your way to your first dungeon you'll pass a building close to the dungeon that's called "Hall of the Novice"

gloomy ice
#

Usually situated right outside the inn

#

The NPCs labeled Smiths, that have a golden badge above their head with the sprout icon in the center, offer the novice training courses.

fleet rock
#

sry for a stupid question, but how do i undo transformation after transforming into a succubus in PotD?

gloomy ice
#

It expires on its own after a minute or so but you can cancel it by right clicking the icon in your status bar.

#

okay thanks a lot

drifting mural
#

hey guys i am back with a store related question. i wrote to support but got kind of a vague answer. my account region is rest of europe. which store do i use to get the digital bundle?

green grail
#

europe

fossil girder
#

Umm hey guys, do you know untill what date current event with tombstones gonna end ?

drifting mural
#

but do i use any european store?

green grail
drifting mural
#

European Union store? my country is not listed as a choice, on the store menu, there is EU and some countries....

green grail
#

also your account region is decided when you buy the base game i'm pretty sure

#

SE account is different than your ffxiv account

drifting mural
#

i am still on the free trial

#

SE account? like the server i play on?

green grail
#

until the patch on the 18th feb (or 11th but that's very unlikely) @fossil girder

#

the account you use to log into mogstation, you need to match the region of that

#

but i don't think it matters during the trial

fossil girder
#

yeah they said mid february so I was wonder if it's 11th or 18th

#

thank you Vis

green grail
#

the liveletter is on 6th so it's super unlikely the patch will be on 11th

drifting mural
#

thank you @green grail i just logged on and i am double checking

#

oops

#

mog station account says region Americas

#

but when i log on the store my region is rest of europe?

#

i am lost :(

green grail
#

the store account doesn't matter

#

only the mogstation account is your ff account

drifting mural
#

oh no

#

but wait, on enix website, when i log on

#

hmm it says my country which is in europe on my account page

green grail
#

square enix website doesn't matter either

#

only mogstation

drifting mural
#

but mog says The Americas

#

oh no

#

thank you

#

what do i do?

alpine shadow
#

buy america

drifting mural
#

i live in europe, my billing address is european

alpine shadow
#

are you purchasing a physical product?

drifting mural
#

i mistakenly thought that to play on a NA server i had to pick America as my region

#

nope, the digital all in one bundle

green grail
#

or buy EU and just see if your progress transfers

alpine shadow
#

wut

green grail
#

and if not then just start over, trial takes like a day to get through

drifting mural
#

hmm

#

thank you

alpine shadow
#

well, if you are just purchasing keys, then you dont need to worry about billing address

drifting mural
#

just keys yes

#

thank you

#

:)

So, i finally decided to dedicate time to ffxiv, i finally bought the complete edition, (ma character on the trial was lvl 14) and i intend to skip the story, to get fast in raid and dungeon of the last expansion. i'm more a tank player, but what do you think would be a good class to start with? (i mean in terma of dps or tank, im really not into healing) as i've to do the shadowbringers story, should i get a tank or dps? (im more into paladin or gunbreaker, but i guess i can't get a job boost for gunbreaker right?)

obsidian patio
#

Gunbreaker does not have a job boost, yes.
As for job choice, any of them are fine to do the story with, though a tank will help you get through it faster since you won't need to wait nearly as long to get into dungeons and trials.
IMO, I find Marauder/Warrior to be a very easy starting tank, though Gladiator/Paladin does start off easy and gradually picks up in their rotation difficulty/complexity in the later levels

strong falcon
#

i see. im clearly a tank guy, i heard tank class has dps and tank stances, so it seems fine. i think im going for the paladin or the warrior, don't know yet, i guess i'll spend 1 hour or two to watch some video on youtube xD

obsidian patio
#

dps stances aren't a thing anymore

strong falcon
#

but btw, once i buy the story skip book and the job boost, i receive it in mail, and just... activate it? o,o

obsidian patio
#

tank stances no longer reduce damage done and are simply enmity boosters

#

correct

strong falcon
#

as my character was lvl 14, im somwhere, i don't know where, will i be teleported to the shadowbringers extension?

obsidian patio
#

Pretty sure your character doesn't get moved

strong falcon
#

Oh, enmity, is like aggro right?

obsidian patio
#

yeah

strong falcon
#

hm, sry to harass you with question, but if it doesn't get moved, how do i do the new quests? xD

#

does it unlock teleportation location?

obsidian patio
#

you get all the Aetheryte locations with the story boost

strong falcon
#

i see

obsidian patio
green grail
#

expansion quests start in a base game location too

strong falcon
#

and last question, which tank class has the lowest GCD? i heard about monk and ninjas having lowert gcd but for the tanks?

obsidian patio
#

this lists all the things the story boost unlocks

#

All the tanks sit at roughly the same speed of 2.3-2.4-ish due to their rotation

#

in terms of optimal damage

green grail
#

they all have the same base gcd but gnb has the highest cpm, then drk, war, pld

strong falcon
#

is it hard to unlock the gunbreaker?

obsidian patio
#

You simply need a job at level 60 and have shadowbringers installed

honest ocean
#

Is there such a thing as a general linkshell/CWLS that’s just for general stuff and helping each other with random stuff .. something like novice network but for non-novice

oak ice
#

There probably is, but you need to be invited by linkshell owners

whole wasp
#

Yea. Have to look for them yourselves.

green grail
#

probably, but there's no "popular linkshells" since they can only have 120ish members

strong falcon
#

@obsidian patio i see, as i was interested in paladin and gunbreaker, i guess i'll boost a paladin and unlock the gunbreaker soon after that

honest ocean
#

I see

candid cloak
jade quartz
#

Linkshells are limited to 128 members to be precise

#

and cross-world linkshells to 64

sinful breach
#

@candid cloak it should work, I did it to a buddy of mine this patch

#

what part of it doesn't work for you?

mint shale
#

What's the best way to macro to inform your team that you are ressing? macro quick cast? or just separate the macro to just a message before i quick cast?

oak ice
#

Just don't put a macro and send the res on someone

#

No one reads chat during fights anyway and notification sounds will just make people hate you while still not reading

mint shale
#

hmm so just pray the other healer(s) wont waste their quick cast too?

green grail
#

pretty much

mint shale
#

then again, i guess if it's hard content we should be in a VC or something

#

fair point

green grail
#

if it's a good healer they'll keep an eye out for your swiftcast buff and a hardcast, if it's a bad healer your macro won't stop them from wasting theirs anyways

lilac void
#

hey guys i am in my first playthrough. i am lvl 46 and the next msq is for lvl 49. should i just level in random dungeons or the highest available dungeon for me as a white mage?

green grail
#

highest available, or the leveling roulette if you haven't done it for the day yet

lilac void
#

done it already. okay so ill spam some dungeons :D

#

thx!

If I start Soul Without Life, collect some crystals, then abandon the quest and start it anew for another class, will I be able to turn in the crystals for the new class?

the lv60 anima weapon quest

yes

also you can do the fates on any job

you can get the crystals as long as you have the quest active for no matter what job

There’s no way to get the noctis clothes / hair now, is there?

wintry chasm
#

The event could come back one day

#

Or the items go up on Mogstation after some time

#

But yeah for now no

visual flame
#

quick question - i know the topic of leveling/MSQ/etc has been talked to death but i have read guides and i just need some clarification

#

ive heard of the big lull finishing ARR

#

i bought complete edition so i have all expansions - i wont hit a level cap, right?

#

i can finish the first section of ARR MSQ and then continue to level up while knocking out the big chunk between level 50 > heaven

wintry chasm
#

Yes

twilit arch
#

yes, so long as you've applied your codes to your account you should be good

wintry chasm
#

^

visual flame
#

ok

#

im just very overleveled already

wintry chasm
#

Preferred server?

visual flame
#

its gonna get out of hand - im gonna have to split 2 jobs

#

yeah pref

wintry chasm
#

Yeah...

#

That'll be why

visual flame
#

its super nice

#

but as a new players its almost disorienting

wintry chasm
#

For the 50/60 patch stuff I would actually recommend unlocking the SB and ShB jobs and you could do some of that patch stuff as them to soak up some XP so you don't hit level 80 so fast on your main job

#

But that's my two cents

visual flame
#

well im a little lalafell magic dude

#

main WHM but i want to level smn/sch/blm

#

so i may bring those along

#

that being said

#

the temptation of leveling everything is strong lol

#

not sure how much ill want to raid anyway - i dont know how much endgame there is if you dont raid

open coral
#

Take a look at the profiles of people with the mentor crown next to their names sometimes.

#

Every job at 80

#

Or close to

#

No reason you can't do that in good time.

mint shale
#

take your time and enjoy the story (if you love the story). Yes, there's a lull post ARR, some annoying fetch quests. But I found it all worth it in the end. I just got to HW too

#

and I have most classes at lvl60+. except Blue Mage, 3 HW jobs and 3 base jobs. So I understand the temptation haha

#

though personally I just ran the roulette with the jobs , didn't particularly "grinded"

visual flame
#

to be honest, i was planning on skipping most story until HW

#

i know ill be missing some context, etc

open coral
#

Some of the ARR story is worth sitting around for

#

Mostly it's the stuff that builds up to HW

#

But there are some quests that introduce you to NPCs and concepts that are useful to know about later.

#

Just for context.

visual flame
#

yeah, im hoping someone has made a "so you just skipped ARR" guie

open coral
#

Eventually you'll be able to NG+ all of that

#

For now it's only HW through ShB, but once they do the ARR story squish, they'll probably add that to NG+ as well

slow crypt
#

you can read a plot summary of arr

#

but it's better experienced first hand

visual flame
#

well i just hit 50 on WHM but im still on lvl 35ish MSQ

#

so its very tempting to button mash the skip button

open coral
#

Did roulettes on the regular, huh?

slow crypt
#

just focus on the MSQ I guess.

visual flame
#

i didnt even do that many! just exp buff on the server

open coral
#

Ooh, yeah, that'll do it

visual flame
#

i also have 34 smn/sch

#

the exp is ridiculous

little swift
#

I took advantage of it on the trial and got everything to 35 before upgrading

#

Its a strong buff

open coral
#

I have never leveled a character on an xp buff server past 20

visual flame
#

yeah channy, i kinda regret not doing that

#

i was sitting on a complete edition cd key so it was hard to wait

#

especially since you basically get 45 days of game time with it

little swift
#

No no upgrading is worth

#

You dont have to wait

#

I just felt like I wamted to make full use of it

#

Its not like you wont end up having it after you hit 80

visual flame
#

yeah

#

honestly, i need to calm down. i am coming from wow and the openness and freedom of this game is stressing me out lo

#

im constantly thinking of whether or not i should be doing something else. i gotta just chill

gloomy ice
#

Doing too much too quickly does lead to burn out, yeah. Lots to do but you've all the time in the world to do it.

little swift
#

Take your time and enjoy the game that's the biggest bit of advice. There's literal years of content ahead of you

mint shale
#

Yep what Channy said.Told myself to take it slow and it's okay that I can't join my FC mates for maps or anything yet. But better to experience everything than to skip and get lost. But I am a lore buff and i love delving into everything

light drift
#

Hey, as a beginner with my first job, Should I just focus on the Main quest or should I also do Roulette and Hunts etc?

rare sable
#

msq so this
bluequest do most of this (except for leves of xxx & do you want to be a xxx)
sidequest just skip

mint shale
#

Haha we just talked about it above. Depends on your goal I guess. Focusing on MSQ is always good. I personally did a bit of everything to mix things up

wintry chasm
#

I mean...

#

There are some nice sidequest but yes they aren't important

light drift
#

Sorry, I should have read first 😄

#

Thanks!

#

Another question: I startet on Lich (EU) because of double exp, but the server seems really empty. Is it possible to switch servers later on?

#

It really seems like a ghost town

wintry chasm
#

With $$$

#

You can visit other servers in your datacenters for free but there are restrictions

light drift
#

Okay

#

Because I cant find a group for a Guild Job, and Im Tank

Find a group...?

#

Guildleve?

#

If you mean guildleves they just aren't popular since the rewards suck

#

My client is in german, I dont know the english Word for it 😄

#

Not really strange

light drift
#

Probably

#

You unlock them at level 10

Yeah sounds about right to be guildleves

#

Not a popular thing

#

i always wondered, what does lodestone fc rankings do... are there rewards and stuff

green grail
#

no

#

just glory and fame and stuff

except no one checks them

now we have a use for them: identify potential active FCs that you can try to join. haha

are healers high demand in ff14 or no? <@&473626701947994134>
which job has the most end-game benefits/future proof? I've been looking at culinarian and alchemist since i always liked those skills but hoping they're.. useful?
context is that i used to play rs a lot and fishing/cooking was my jam but food slowly got replaced by just using potions to heal .. which i barely leveled herblore so.. yeah

sinful breach
#

cul and alc are one of the more useful jobs when it comes to raiding since a lot of people uses foods and pots to raise their stats

fresh lodge
#

Yes, healers are in high demand

#

All combat jobs are viable in end game combat

sinful breach
#

i'd say healers are in demand, but i wouldn't worry too much about how playing/not playing healer will affect your game experience

#

at the moment whm are the most popular healers in the game because they have a lower skill floor, but its really up to you which class you enjoy the most

frail jewel
#

can you transfer gear to other characters on your account? cause while i like healing/support classes.. experience says when it comes to content/solo leveling, its one of those "bruh" moments

sinful breach
#

and as meara said, all combat roles are viable in endgame

gloomy ice
#

You don't need multiple characters to play multiple jobs. Rather, one character can unlock every job.

raw solstice
#

you can't transfer gear between characters, and yeah generally most people just have the one character and level everything on it

#

you can do anything and everything on any job

green grail
#

and solo leveling as healers is usually the easiest too cause you can just heal yourself instead of relying on dumb npc ai

frail jewel
#

wait what? so changing is that easy?

raw solstice
#

you do a very short quest to unlock a different job, then to swap between jobs you just equip the weapon for the other job

frail jewel
#

oh wow

raw solstice
#

and that's it, you're playing on the other job

#

can save separate gearsets too in order to help swapping between them, nice and easy

frail jewel
#

well sh*t say no more fam i'm sold on this already

sinful breach
#

yeah you just need to accept a quest that says "so you want to be xxxx" bluequest

frail jewel
#

is there like a promo code or something? like a referral bonus

#

i know there's the full package with 3 DLC + main game for like $60

#

so we all benefit

green grail
#

there's a friend referral system, you can message someone from r/ffxivraf to use their code and they offer free gil/gear/help etc in exchange

frail jewel
#

aye cheers mate

robust magnet
#

Can I make custom delievery items on a lv80 (trained eye) and then hand in on a lower lv?

yes

robust magnet
#

ah nice ^^

Just curious would recruitment channel be for me to look for people to recruit for some runs of something unsynced? Or is it more for just static teams

Doesn't hurt to make a post

i would think you can recruit for anything in a recruitment channel, but there's no guarantee you'd get more or faster responses than just posting a listing in PF

Is the inundation bgm just a singer saying Leviathun Leviathun or is it something different

Mounts FAQ
Info

'When can I get my first mount?'

The quest that allows you to use mounts, 'My Little Chocobo' is unlocked by completing the level 20 main story quest 'The Company You Keep'. The quest is located at the Grand Company base you chose and you'll need to buy the Chocobo Issuance from your Grand Company Quartermaster. You can get the 200 needed Grand Company seals by doing the main story quest that comes after 'The Company You Keep'.

'Are there any differences between mounts?'

Besides looks, all mounts are the same speed along with being able to fly in the expansion zones. Some mounts allow multiple people to ride at once.

'Can I make my mount faster?'

Zones have one or two ranks of mount speed that increase the ground speed of mounts. The first rank comes from completing specific quests in the main scenario quests, with the second rank coming from Riding Maps which are bought with either Allied Seals, Centurio Seals, or Bicolor Gemstones. Mount Speed Boosts do not increase the flying speed of mounts.

gloomy ice
#

That, yeah. lol

ember goblet
#

Thanks

slow crypt
#

you can also outfit your chocobo to change its appearance

light drift
#

Thank you, I didnt know about the faq

#

And being on free trial makes no difference?

open coral
#

Free trial mostly just limits your max level and social stuff.

#

Otherwise you basically have the whole game.

light drift
#

Was it a mistake to start with Gladiator? I feel like killing enemies is really slow 😄

#

Should I have started with DD?

scarlet arrow
#

it's a tank job, you won't kill things quite as fast

#

but it's also much easier to do dungeons since tanks are always in demand

#

also every class is slow in the beginning

slow crypt
#

just hurry up to level 15 and do dungeons from there

#

you can do hunting logs

light drift
#

But I need to do the Main quest anyway right?

scarlet arrow
#

yes

fresh lodge
#

No it isn't a mistake to start as a tank, the slower time to kill mobs will be offset by faster queue times

junior yacht
#

and you spend way more time in queues than fighting mobs in the overworld

leaden ginkgo
#

Is there any real difference between getting the game directly v. Steam?

gloomy ice
#

Steam gets a little screwy with CEs and preorders plus their sales don't match up but other than that it's mostly identical. Steam version has to launch from Steam launcher though.

scarlet arrow
#

and you can't combine purchases between the two platforms. once you buy the game on one of them you are locked-in to buying further content on that platform

leaden ginkgo
#

Good deal. I was leaning towards buying it directly. I saw in one of the beginner's guides that you were locked in to one or the other.

stray saffron
#

recently learned the reason for that is because Steam takes a cut of your sub if that's where you bought the game

#

ppl I know who play on steam report that sales on expansions happen less often on steam, but you're only buying one of those every two years, so it's not a huge deal except while you're catching up

#

and you can also pay your sub with your steam wallet, which is convenient if you do a lot of steam marketplace stuff

leaden ginkgo
#

I figured they took a cut somewhere. I've only ever used Steam for like two games anyway.

forest stratus
#

I'm a lvl 52 BLM near the end of the core ARR story and I'm thinking of picking up a 2nd class/job. Is ACN -> SCH good or should I go for CNJ -> WHM? A healer role w/rotation similar in difficulty to BLM is what I'm looking for.

gloomy ice
#

WHM is the easiest heals to pick up. SCH has a bit of a learning curve but it's still not as involved as BLM.

forest stratus
#

oh both sound pretty good then. SCH is kinda tempting b/c I'd get SMN alongside it, which I think could be fun. how are the questlines for both? I really liked the THM quests, but the BLM quests were kinda meh

stray saffron
#

quick extra retainer billing question on behalf of a friend, if folks don't mind:

If you add retainers, and then the sub charges, does it charge for the extra retainers twice?

gloomy ice
#

WHM gives a lot of lore and backstory for Gridania and the Shroud as a whole. But in HW you have the taint to deal with. It's kind of a meme. SCH is entirely about the fallen Nymian civilization. ACN quests are unrelated but they deal with some of Limsa's underground.

twilit arch
#

uh it shouldn't

stray saffron
#

so say my next subscription billing cycle is one week from today. If I go in right now and add an extra retainer, do I pay the extra $2 or whatever once now and then again when my sub runs?

forest stratus
#

thanks! I think I'll try ACN -> SCH then b/c limsa is a pretty cool place.

fresh lodge
#

@stray saffron you only pay for the extra retainer for the time you have left

#

So it won't cost the full $2 initially

stray saffron
#

gotcha, so it charges you like a fraction of the full fee if it's in the middle of a cycle

fresh lodge
#

Ye

stray saffron
#

cool, tyvm

fresh lodge
#

Then it'll be full price on your sub billing cycle

vague juniper
#

Why do PVP queues vary so wildly compared to other queues?

slate arrow
#

Because it requires 72 people but no role restrictions

#

so you don't need healers and you could have like 72 DPS

#

in exchange you need 72 people which is hard during off hours

open coral
#

@forest stratus Regarding your healing class question: You're not going to find a healer with any kind of really complex rotation per se. For dps purposes, healers basically have a DoT, a single target attack, and an AoE attack. For healing purposes, there really isn't a set rotation. The difficulty of healing any party is largely dependent on the competence of the rest of the group.

peak night
#

did they change the /isearch command or does it not work for me for some reason?

silk summit
#

What would the macro to target your focus target be? Also, is the lock on function ever actually useful? Just realized I can just replace it on my controller.

gloomy ice
#

Item Search text command is still in. Double check spelling maybe? 😅

visual flame
gloomy ice
#

And focus target shortcut is <f>

green grail
#

<ft> is for targeting macro'd stuff to focus target, but if you mean a macro for changing targets then that's not a thing

gloomy ice
#

Target lock doesn't do much. Safe to replace. Although funny to use during Ozma in Weeping City.

green grail
#

or <f>I'm not sure

silent pike
#

@light drift Bit late but I'm currently at the end of HW as a tank and even though you kill things slower alone your queues are way faster so you may overall get through content faster

#

Because DPS can get stuck in queues for long periods of time

#

You can also take some time to do optional queued content as well since you don't need to wait as long

#

Also tanks are balanced in FFXIV to be sufficient damage dealers in their own right. Some MMOs don't allow tanks to have that strong offensive stats compared to this game

silk summit
#

Looks like /target <f> does what I wanted. Too bad L1 can't be changed to anything useful since I don't use autorun.

gloomy ice
#

L1 is useful in its own right since you can use it to switch targets quickly when holding a trigger for your skills.

silk summit
#

Yeah, pretty sure it does that regardless of what you map the button itself to though.

silent pike
#

If there is a more interesting thing to map L1 to I'd like to know as well

silk summit
#

There isn't sadly, the only options it gives you is auto run, change hotbar set, and highlight cross hotbar

leaden ginkgo
#

@silent pike Just curious...what are queue times like for healers compared to tanks? I imagine they probably kill things even slower, but do they spend more time waiting than tanks?

visual flame
#

i am on Crystal and ive always had instant que as healer

#

maybe320 seconds once or twice

#

30*

gritty oracle
#

On DoH, is doing crafting log the fastest way to level to 20?

green grail
#

or just spamming a cheap lvl 5/10/15 craft

gritty oracle
#

Can confirm, Crystal is incredibly comfy on healers. Once I had a whole minute queue time to leveling roulette and I was so offended. Literally never happened to me before.

silent pike
#

@leaden ginkgo I’ve never played healer but I would imagine they aren’t much longer. But I would definitely say that playing one of the more in-demand roles will lead to a better experience when leveling your first combat class through the story

#

Rather than a DPS

visual flame
#

SMN/SCH is a great way to level i think

silent pike
#

I’m doing the story as PLD

visual flame
#

im just saying you can keep smn/sch leveled on the side and youll have all 3 job types leveled up

#

(i am also new and my advice isnt worth much, im just bored at work so im participating here lol)

gloomy ice
#

In other words, healers and tanks are basically always in demand as they're roles required for content with comparably fewer people willing to play them.

leaden ginkgo
#

Good deal. I'm not planning on having just a ton of time for playing, so I'm trying to make the most out of it. Plus I prefer non-DPS roles anyway.

#

The only MMORPG I've played is FFXI years ago, and from what I've seen so far, this is a very different game.

slate arrow
#

it is yes

#

all the jobs are much more locked down in their roles

#

BLU isn't a main job

#

DNC can't heal

gritty oracle
#

I would say play whatever you like. Shorter queues are not worth doing something you don't love.

leaden ginkgo
#

Well, the job I REALLY love is RDM, but it'll be a while before I unlock it.

#

And I'm sure it plays much differently than what I've played before.

#

Also, I'll wanna grab a code from r/ffxivraf when I'm setting up my account, right?

gloomy ice
#

As long as you get a code before buying sub time, yeah.

leaden ginkgo
#

Awesome, thanks.

frail jewel
#

Wait so since you can basically job change easily with weapon change, a healer can both dps and heal pretty much right? If they're quick enough

#

I.e. do dps class for fighting and swap to healer to self hewl

green grail
#

no, you can't change in combat

#

or in duties (dungeons raids trials etc)

#

you decide what you want to play and you queue for the content you want to do

frail jewel
#

Damn ok, I guess healer it is

elfin cloud
#

cant change classes/jobs after you chose it for the run

green grail
#

but it's basically expected of healers to optimize their damage while keeping everyone alive

drifting mural
#

guys, me again.
my account was region - the americas, so i have made a new account.

#

i live in serbia

frail jewel

Yeah, cant just be one dimensional

elfin cloud
#

weird, they had no problem taking my money lol

drifting mural
#

lol why is this happening

green grail
#

servers aren't connected to account region in any way either

drifting mural
#

yeah

#

it says 404

#

when i do that

elfin cloud
#

servers are great, i get no lag

drifting mural
#

the store has following options - for europe - EU, france, germany, UK

if im on preffered server is it better to just do the easy levequests to 50 or go to the beast tribe for crafters

delicate island

is scholar damage now spam broil, bio on cooldown and energy drain whenever?

winged shuttle
#

best 1v1 pvp class? :3

timber fossil
#

hasn't it always been like that?

delicate island
#

well, there was 2 bios, 2 ruins, miasma, bane, etc

slow crypt
#

bio doesn't have a cooldown

#

but yeah you want to refresh bio as it runs out unless the boss becomes invulnerable

#

don't forget to use your Chain Stratagem

#

use Ruin II on the move or squeeze it if you cant full cast broil before the boss leaves or becomes invuln

timber fossil
#

@delicate island i thought you were comparing shadowbringer's scholar among patches. but yeah, as far as i know, just broil and refresh bio, energy drain to use up soon-to-be-wasted aetherflow. ruin II when you can't cast.

crude relic
#

So for Summoner what's better? Ruin or Ruin II?

gloomy ice
#

Ruin II has no cast time but costs more. Although you’ll end up using both depending on the situation. And at higher levels they’re both incorporated into your rotation anyway.

fresh lodge
#

Well at higher levels you use Ruin 4

#

You ideally never want to use Ruin 2

twilit arch
#

ruin is your main filler spell (eventually upgrades to ruin III), ruin II is for weaving/movement (though you'll eventually use ruin IV more)

gloomy ice
#

Right right. They eventually upgrade to Ruin 3 and 4.

fresh lodge
#

No

#

Oh I see what you mean

#

Yeah Ruin > Ruin 3, Ruin 2 > Ruin 4

crude relic
#

I gotcha, also for DRG what actually procs the two abilities that add time to my blood of the dragon? Is it just doing the two combos or what? xD I'm trying to get the hang of it as I do PotD to level to 60 but it's kind of confusing since I just started learning DRG.

slow crypt
#

reading the tooltips makes it easier to know how things work together

crude relic
#

Honestly I did but I didn't see anything in the tooltip that says exactly how it procs, like there isn't a combo attached to it since it seems to start a combo in the tooltip so I wanna know if I'm right in doing a thrust combo then using the BotD extenders or if I should be doing stuff differently for getting certain procs, not exactly a good up to date guide for below level 80 rotations and what to use in what situation.

gloomy ice
#

Wheeling Thrust will always proc after Chaos Thrust and Fang and Claw will always proc after Full Thrust.

#

As long as you have BotD active that is.

#

BotD turns their three hit combos into four hits, in other words.

#

Just alternate the combos and you’ll be fine.

crude relic
#

Mmk that's what I thought but I wasn't sure since I'm still tinkering around with DRG and trying to get my crossbars set up for easy combos. thanks Eton.

timber fossil
#

you're not seeing rotation guide for early levels because they mostly become obsolete so quickly that people don't generally bother to optimize.

#

actually, low level rotations are more like just a shorter/easier version of the lv80 rotations.

#

with an exception of BLM.

#

where their rotation changes quite a bit in different levels.
