Ah, okay.
thanks Wynne Smilebuki
and you too Smug.

regal chasm
#

So i'm finally getting around to playing this game. Both Black Mage and Summoner look interesting to me. Which in your opinion generally (1) does better soloing, and (2) has better looking casts/animations?

leaden ginkgo
#

So how hard is it to get Skybuilder Scrips

#

at lvl 60

dim ridge
#

that's gonna be real subjective @ both of you

#

what do you mean soloing, maelwro? cuz all jobs can do the main story n such

#

and vhy do you have a gatherer or two leveled? being able to get your own mats makes it a lot easier

leaden ginkgo
#

I do but i am wondering like

dim ridge
#

biggest deal is having your gear current/up to date on crafters

leaden ginkgo
#

whenever spending 800k gil, or working for 2,200 scrips

dim ridge
#

if you're undergeared you'll struggle

robust magnet
#

I personally think BLM has cooler vfx, because explosions.
But Thats kinda all BLM has, Summoner has more skills and variety to it's kit.

obsidian patio
#

in terms of scrip gain it's really only good at level 70/80

leaden ginkgo
#

and by then, how's the gain?

obsidian patio
#

for the level 70 craft it greatly depends on how much the prices of the materials and desired end product compares, though crafting it is vastly easier since you can just use Trained Eye and a bunch of progress skills.

#

the level 80 one requires a bit of melding and food, but usually has better profit margins

#

it's definitely something you'd have to look at the marketboard prices for

#

no real easy answer

leaden ginkgo
#

Mmh

languid kernel
#

how are you supposed to use two flares in a row?

#

on blm

obsidian patio
#

!trait Enhanced Umbral Hearts

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Enhanced Umbral Heart** : lvl 68 BLM

Reduces MP required to cast Flare by one-third while under the effect of Umbral Heart. Casting Flare completely removes the Umbral Heart status.

obsidian patio
#

This makes Flare not eat all your MP when you have Umbral Hearts

whole wasp
#

so you can flare twice with that normally

obsidian patio
#

It's also the level where you remove Fire 2 from your hotbar

whole wasp
#

if you are not at lvl 68, you can use the mana gain skill afterwards to flare again

unborn rain
#

Do the dungeons for the event change, or are they going to be the same until 5.3?

obsidian patio
#

This is the first time they changed

languid kernel
#

ohok im only 60 atm thanks

unborn rain
#

Ah okay, I just started playing again today. Bummer they are all low levels

obsidian patio
#

Before, the dungeons that give it were the first 3/4 dungeons and the level 50 24-man raids

lyric warren
#

have they made the "fools threshold" window shorter?

obsidian patio
#

Not that I'm aware of

lyric warren
#

but when i count the squares it equals out to the same but yet it seems to be smaller. cant wrap my head around it

#

hm nvm i think he has placed some type of beam there

upbeat storm
#

is there a way to try on multiple items at once?

obsidian patio
#

when you try on an item, click the paper icon at the bottom of the window that pops up

#

that saves all the items you're trying on

crude relic
#

^

#

Wynne always beats me to it :'c

steady pewter
#

whats like a guild in this game?

lyric warren
#

fc - free company

steady pewter
#

thank you

wary eagle
#

what would be most time efficient to farm yellow scripts? i have 80 cul and i finished the weekly deliv already. just wanna get some manuals to help level my alts

#

collectables?

unborn rain
#

Is there anywhere to repair at in eulmore? :0

whole wasp
#

there should be one near the summoning bell

unborn rain
#

ah yeah I found him

#

Ty

whole wasp
#

@wary eagle theres the facets quests too else its just turn-ins

unborn rain
#

Been a long time since I played

wary eagle
#

oh right i dont think i did the facets stuff completely yet, otherwise turn ins aka collectables right? is there a guide on which is most easy to spam. some of these recipes got me needing ridiculous amounts of stuff

whole wasp
#

just whichever is starred that week since you only have cul? leveled, theres no much choices

wary eagle
#

oh ok you meant daily turn ins right

#

i guess when i exhaust all that then its just collectables

whole wasp
#

yeah, to rowena's in the timer

wary eagle
#

alright thanks

bold mirage
#

are you able to trade gear you buy with tomestones?

obsidian patio
#

no

bold mirage
#

cool thanks

wanton crown
#

hi all so i recently bought the Steam DLC shadowbringers for the steam Final Fantasy 14 a realm reborn. noticing that the dlc is not loading up or even saying its registering under the mog station not sure what to do or if its even normal. im just level caped at 50

obsidian patio
#

Did you enter the code into the mogstation?

wanton crown
#

that what i was thinking so i copied it to the clipboard and went to registration code enter item code and says the key is invalid

crude relic
#

Is rampart still useful as a GNB even with the massive shit ton of other mitigation tools the job has in it's toolkit? Or can I swap it with something else? x.x

slate arrow
#

it's not an item code

#

you need to enter it as an expansion code

obsidian patio
#

Rampart is still a good skill

#

you can never have enough mitigation

slate arrow
#

all the skills should be on your hotbar regardless

obsidian patio
#

only "optional" tank skill is Shirk for content that doesn't require tank swaps

#

Mmk, probs gonna redo my layout then so one of my bars is nothing but mitigation.

wanton crown
#

Sweet in registered. thank you guys much for the help

smoky glade
#

is it easy to join groups for savage raids or are people picky w/ requirements? i just want some glamour

dim ridge
#

depends

obsidian patio
#

If you want glamour from old content then there's not much you really need to do besides maybe read up on the fight for any potential mechanics

dim ridge
#

like a12s still kills ya if you don't learn the fight mechs etc

#

but then like old coil stuff, ezpz

smoky glade
#

ohh okay thanks!

placid sleet
#

I don’t understand how PoTd works I thought the xp transfers outside too?

whole wasp
#

you get a lump sum of exp every 10 floors

warped nest
#

You gain exp by a fix amount once you clear a set of 10 floors

whole wasp
#

for whatever job you joined as

warped nest
#

It doesn't convert whatever you get inside

#

Think of POTD as a mini game with exp reward

bleak raptor
#

how do i not get wrecked in heavensward as a lvl 52/ilvl 112 bard?

#

like should I have higher item level? I just came back, only played heavensward for 2 levels when it came out. I feel like I'm dying super fast the moment even just 2 mobs are attacking me.

obsidian patio
#

overworld mobs are much tougher in the expansions relative to the base game

#

at equal level you pretty much need to 1v1 them or you'll probably die unless you're a tank/healer

#

If you have any spare tomestones of Poetics you can spend them at Mor Dhona for i120 gear

#

replacing your weakest slots should help a lot

bleak raptor
#

man i sure would rather be a tank, been trying to buy the 70 boost but the store just gives me errors

jade quartz
#

What does your gear look like?

cerulean wigeon
#

thinking of trying DoH/DoL after getting my first DoW to 53
any recommendations?

bleak raptor
#

Oh i logged out in DOH gear, woops

Hi guys! I hope you're all well. Can someone verify a few things for me? My account is currently locked; not banned or suspended, just locked. The message I get is "Based upon recent suspicious activity, we have identified that your account may potentially be at risk. For your protection, we have temporarily suspended login access to this account. Instructions for lifting this restriction have been sent to the email address registered to your Square Enix Account. For more information about the login restriction, please refer to the following page: http://support.na.square-enix.com/j/lbna"

I have used the correct password and email/username. I am not sure why this is being flagged. Also, can you tell me if this link is an offical link to download the game app from? (If this is not, I will remove the link) https://www.finalfantasyxiv.com/playersdownload/na. Lastly, can you also tell me if this email is from an official email address from the game company?

cerulean wigeon
#

or links for tips/advice at least

bleak raptor
#

Most guides out there @cerulean wigeon seem to say that you should level them in specific orders, due to some having cross class skills. That's old stuff, so just pick whichever you like and go for it. I've been doing Leathworking, goldsmith, carpentry, and weaver alternating every few levels, as it means I can make my own gear as I go up

jade quartz
#

That is an official link and an official email address @leaden ginkgo

#

All legit

leaden ginkgo
#

Thanks. So all I would need to do is change my password in order to unlock my account?

jade quartz
#

I haven’t encountered the issue before but those links are legitimate so I would just follow whatever instructions they’ve provided.

leaden ginkgo
#

SS threshhold for SAM?

obsidian patio
quartz shale
#

@leaden ginkgo based on what you posted, you'd need to go read the email they sent you and follow those instructions

#

fwiw, i'd also change the password to the email you use for your SE/ff14 game account as well

leaden ginkgo
#

I just had to change my password and I was good to go! 😄 Thanks for all your help.

jade quartz
leaden ginkgo
#

If I decide to up upgrade from the starter edition, will I be able to do this via the account or do I have to pay for the game all over again?

crude relic
#

I need to clear floor 30 of HoH to be able to spam floor 21-30 right?

warped nest
#

Same account

leaden ginkgo
#

I paid for the $19.99 edition.

crude relic
#

Or do I need to clear floor 40?

warped nest
#

Just 21-30 and then talk to a NPC outside to unlock the option

#

19.99 is Starter Edition aka A Realm Reborn

leaden ginkgo
#

Yes.

#

I think.

warped nest
#

Shadowbringers is expansion

#

It includes Heavensward and Stormblood

leaden ginkgo
#

"FINAL FANTASY®️ XIV ONLINE STARTER EDITION [PC DOWNLOAD]" is what I bought.

warped nest
#

If and when you want to, just get Shadowbringers PC edition from Square Enix store

#

Don't get it from Steam. PC and Steam version can't cross

#

Expansion don't require you to play a new save file

leaden ginkgo
#

Yea, I think I own the steam version? But I prefer the client one better.

#

I am an ex-wow player, can you tell me if you guys have mages or hunters like in wow?

warped nest
#

I am not familiar with WoW

#

So I dunno the equivalent of Hunters in XIV

leaden ginkgo
#

I know the concepts are different in how they have them designed, but it helps me understand what each one may offer or do or maybe point me to a video to see a comparison?

warped nest
#

There are 3 Magic based DPS jobs

leaden ginkgo
#

Does the mage open portals and can make food and drinks?

crude relic
#

The short answer is toss everything you know about classes out the window for FFXIV and learn everything fresh. This game is nothing like WoW when it comes to classes or even raids.

dim ridge
#

no combat job can make food/drink for instance

warped nest
#

We have:
Black Mage cast Fire spell to damage, Ice spell to recover MP. Prefers to stay still

Summoner summon pets / dragon /Phoenix, uses Dot.

Red Mage dualcast spells to build mana, use mana to perform enchanted sword attacks.

leaden ginkgo
#

So you guys do not do tank, dps or heals?

warped nest
#

We have tanks, Dps, and healers

#

The trinity, yeah

whole wasp
#

Oh there are no specs either

#

Warrior is warrior

warped nest
#

No specs

whole wasp
#

No prot warrior/ fury warrior etc

warped nest
#

Ummm, rotation is built around 15-25 buttons, they are not hard to learn

leaden ginkgo
#

Okay! 🙂

warped nest
#

(I am told that wow has 4 buttons rotation)

whole wasp
#

Hunter had 1 button rotation lol

crude relic
#

But unlike wow each tank, DPS, and healer is entirely unique to itself with only SAM/NIN having similar yet still totally different mechanics to each other.

leaden ginkgo
#

Well to be fair, we did have a little more than 4, though some classes may had been a 4 step rotation. 😋

warped nest
#

Tank, healer, and DPS do share Role Action

leaden ginkgo
#

What class do you guys recommend a new player to start with? Anything but warriors, I cannot get into that type of play style. I enjoy casting and pets. Oh yes, the pets. 😄

dim ridge
#

there's one pet healer and one pet dps

crude relic
#

Arcanist/Summoner would be for you then.

dim ridge
#

and they both come from arcanist

leaden ginkgo
#

Awesome, I will start there.

#

Oops, I guess I should ask these questions in general?

obsidian patio
#

Here is fine.

warped nest
#

Here is fine

leaden ginkgo
#

Okay.

warped nest
#

Jinx?

leaden ginkgo
#

Guys, there client looks so awesome. I love the new design.

#

Okay, so Arcanist/Summoner will be one class.

#

Can you recommend a website so I can read up on this class?

warped nest
#

Ffxiv job guide

#

Google that

leaden ginkgo
#

Also, I saw the website had a app you can pay for, what is this for?

warped nest
#

Official page

obsidian patio
#

If you just want to look at their general skills there's this website https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/jobguide/battle/

FINAL FANTASY XIV

In FINAL FANTASY XIV, sufficient mastery of a class will open up the path to one or more related jobs and their respective actions. To learn more about job actions, traits, and the newly added job gauges, check out the section below.

warped nest
#

Companion app

#

It is very optional

obsidian patio
#

It's for retainer (player bank) and marketboard stuff

leaden ginkgo
#

Is that something I should look into or wait?

#

Okay, so nothing important?

obsidian patio
#

Just install it for a favored teleport (lets you choose a teleport location to get a 50% discount) and then uninstall if you want

leaden ginkgo
#

@obsidian patio This website is perfect, thanks.

wintry chasm
#

Yeah the app isn't very helpful for anything

#

except what Wynne said

leaden ginkgo
#

Okay. So nothing to worry about paying for now?

warped nest
#

It is entirely optional

wintry chasm
#

The app is free

warped nest
#

You can access those in-game as well

wintry chasm
#

With a subscription thing you can pay for on top

upbeat storm
#

how to leave fc?

wintry chasm
#

So just get the app

leaden ginkgo
#

Hummm I did not sub yet, I have the 30 days the game came with, does that not count for the app?

obsidian patio
#

should be in Free Company > Info

wintry chasm
#

^

#

Then the option is there

#

@leaden ginkgo the app subscription isn't game time subscription, it's something else and pretty worthless

warped nest
#

The app is free, but has its own premium model

wintry chasm
#

^

#

It's really not worth paying for

#

Just get the benefits of the free version

warped nest
#

I personally don't even think the app is necessary

wintry chasm
#

It's not necessary

#

but it's nice

#

and it takes 2 minutes of your time

#

It's not that it's necessary it's just "why would you not?"

leaden ginkgo
#

I guess I would have to add a sub as it is not showing free.

#

Do I pick standard for the sub?

obsidian patio
#

Standard just lets you have more than one character on a world and more characters total

#

!faq subprice

leaden ginkgo
#

This is for the game time renewal.

zinc orbitBOT
#
Subscription Prices
obsidian patio
#

You can do pretty much everything on one character

leaden ginkgo
#

Which one do you guys use?

wintry chasm
#

Not pretty much

#

EVERYTHING

leaden ginkgo
#

So the standard?

obsidian patio
#

I only use standard for some FC alts that have a bunch of gold feathers for rare dyes

wintry chasm
#

Just pick entry if you don't want to have like, 30 characters

leaden ginkgo
#

Okay.

upbeat storm
#

you can get more gold feathers from alts?

fresh lodge
#

You get gold feathers when transferring from a congested world to a preferred world

upbeat storm
#

how many

leaden ginkgo
#

What is a 'Retainer Service'?

obsidian patio
#

10

#

the gold feathers you get from recruiting people are account wide

#

I should've specified a bit

jade quartz
#

Hiring additional retainers on top of the two you have for free @leaden ginkgo

copper plaza
#

Hi Im new to the game, You probably had this question asked a hundred times but explain to me about expansions and their price

#

So to start I need a base game

#

Then I need to buy all 3 expansions?

jade quartz
#

It’s a small monthly fee for each additional retainer

leaden ginkgo
#

Can you help me understand what those are? Is that a bodyguard or what?

jade quartz
#

Item bank

obsidian patio
#

Retainers are the player banks

wintry chasm
#

The base game is the starter edition. You can then buy Shadowbringers, it's the lastest expansion and includes all previous for free.

#

OR

jade quartz
#

And marketboard selling access

wintry chasm
#

Buy the complete edition is both

leaden ginkgo
#

Okay, so do we call them out?

wintry chasm
#

Either or if you get those two things you got everything you need

leaden ginkgo
#

Or is that just bank slots?

jade quartz
#

And you can also send them on ventures to get items for you

#

Call them out?

wintry chasm
#

You have to go to a retainer bell to access them

copper plaza
#

Why buy complete edition then? if first two expansions are free with latest expansion?

wintry chasm
#

But they aren't like

#

bodyguards that fight with you yeah

jade quartz
#

You interact with a summoning bell in any major city’s marketboard

wintry chasm
#

@copper plaza complete edition is base game + expansions

leaden ginkgo
#

Okay, neat!

wintry chasm
#

Shadowbringers is expansions

#

Starter edition is base game

copper plaza
#

Oh

#

So I can just buy base game play until level cap and then buy expansion

wintry chasm
#

You could

copper plaza
#

Cool

#

Thanks

wintry chasm
#

You just wouldn't get the expansion races immediately

#

but that's all you wouldn't have

copper plaza
#

Yeah I read that

mint shale
#

And classes

wintry chasm
#

Nah

#

Since the first expansion jobs you can unlock is at level 50 which is the level cap you'd buy the expansions anyway

mint shale
#

True

leaden ginkgo
#

Also, can we pay to have our gamertag (Square ID) changed?

fresh lodge
#

Not that I know of

#

But there isn't really any point, its not public facing

leaden ginkgo
#

Ah okay.

#

So it is not the same as blizzard battle tag system?

whole wasp
#

Since most dont have alt characters. Their character is their id so theres no seperate battletag needed.

leaden ginkgo
#

I get you, okay! Thanks.

obsidian patio
#

Yeah the only "ID" people can see is your PS4 account if you play on it.

leaden ginkgo
#

Got ya!

#

And are the minions pets or do they fight beside you?

obsidian patio
#

pets

#

only summoner has combat summons

warped nest
#

For fun only

obsidian patio
#

Scholar has a healing fairy

upbeat storm
#

why is waking sands and the stones have an instance inside an instance

#

is there a reason for it

obsidian patio
#

I think due to cutscenes and stuff? 🤷‍♂️

wintry chasm
#

Yeah probably some wonky coding or something

leaden ginkgo
#

Any recommendations for a good server to start on?

upbeat storm
#

one that has preffered if you want faster leveling

#

theres 2 specific servers for rp which i cant remember the names for though

leaden ginkgo
#

Does any of the RP servers have preffered?

#

For North America.

dim ridge
#

both Balmung and Mateus are currently congested and thus you can't make new characters on them. That said, anything on Crystal will get you in the datacenter that's got the most RP, if that's what you're after

leaden ginkgo
#

RP server is good for me.

upbeat storm
#

then any preffered server on the crystal data center

#

since you can visit other servers on the same data center

#

just cant join the guilds (free companies) on servers other than your own

wintry chasm
#

and a few other things but they aren't that important

upbeat storm
#

well if your main method of making money is flipping items

#

you can only sell on your home server

#

can buy from others though

leaden ginkgo
#

How do I delete this old character I seem to have forgotten and start new?

wintry chasm
#

Right click them in the character select

#

Their name

#

and then the option is there

leaden ginkgo
#

Thank you!

#

So is Arcanist/Summoner the race/class?

#

I turned off hotbar sharing but whenever I change spells on my main cclass it still messes up every.other

#

What to do?

#

I do not see a Arcanist

obsidian patio
#

Arcanist is the class

#

Summoner is the DPS job version of arcanist

warped nest
#

I turned off hotbar sharing but whenever I change spells on my main cclass it still messes up every.other
@leaden ginkgo take a screenshot

#

Specifically your setting

leaden ginkgo
#

What screenshot? I checked it now, the hotbar sharing for first 3 hotness is off.

warped nest
#

Then which hotbar are you editing?

leaden ginkgo
#

Does the race really matter when picking a class?

obsidian patio
#

practically, no

warped nest
#

It matters for the first 5 level

obsidian patio
#

the small stat difference becomes insignificant the higher level you are

#

a difference of 4-5 points when you have over 3000-4000 means nothing

whole wasp
#

The points difference is like 5-6. But at lvl 80 you get 3-4k stats

wintry chasm
#

Yeah

warped nest
#

Basically, that difference can be made up with a Crit

wintry chasm
#

It really doesn't matter whatsoever

leaden ginkgo
#

Great! Thank you guys for all of your help. You have all been amazing. 🙂

wintry chasm
#

1/100th of a crit Chronos

warped nest
#

Lol, right?

#

Going back to hotbar question

#

Which hotbar or cross hotbar are shared in the setting?

#

Which hotbar or cross hotbar were you editing?

livid hearth
#

how do i unlock the healers in thisi game

obsidian patio
#

Conjurer is unlocked in Gridania and is the only healer you can directly start off as.

livid hearth
#

ok

obsidian patio
#

Arcanist at level 30 can become Scholar, and Astrologian can be unlocked when you enter Ishgard at the start of the heavensward story.

boreal monolith
#

Wynne are you a Lala?

obsidian patio
#

yep

upbeat storm
#

is the slav squat obtainable in game

#

or is it an npc only pose

obsidian patio
#

NPC only, though there is a squatting exercise emote from the grand company squadrons

cerulean wigeon
#

is ffxivmb a reliable site for checking the mb outside the game?

lyric warren
#

none of them are since the update time is crazy high, they're good for rough estimate

cerulean wigeon
#

okay thanks

quasi tendon
#

so i leveled up to 79 and did all my hunts and my daily what do you guys think is the best way to finish 79-80 gap

#

i know the 79 place dont give as much as the 69 did in sb

raw solstice
#

you would be best off farming the level 79 dungeon yeah

#

by daily I'm assuming you mean you've done your roulettes, the pixie beast tribe quests can be solid supplementary exp as well if you aren't including those in "daily" as well, by the way

quasi tendon
#

i see good to know thanks ^

leaden ginkgo
#

What software can i use to remap ctrl and alt keyboard keys to Q and E but only in FF XIV?

#

I found some on the internet but it involves scripting, I don't want to do that.

hoary storm
#

Why do you want to remap them?

leaden ginkgo
#

Whenever I try to connect Q and E with numbers (for spells), it doesn't let me.

#

I can use only ctrl, shift and alt for + commands

#

Ctrl + 1

#

Etc

#

I want it to be Q+1

little crane
#

whats the difference between red and pink

obsidian patio
#

I think Red means you attacked them first?

honest ocean
#

When blue mage first released .. chocobo leveling was absurd .. did they ever fix it or is it still crazy fast?

leaden ginkgo
#

Isn't it purple?

obsidian patio
#

chocobo leveling with BLU was fixed AFAIK

#

Can't say, pretty sure you can change the colors of those anyway and I've edited mine

raw solstice
#

yeah red = you're the one with the first direct aggro on it (attacked it first or aggroed it and healed/used an oGCD)

#

purple = someone else has that "red" aggro on it

lyric warren
raw solstice
#

then there's that dark yellow color that's basically "hey you aggroed something and you'd have that red aggro if you did anything but anyone else can still pick it up first and it'll be red for them, purple for you"

#

yeah, that's a bit more succinct haha

If I have a potted plant in my house that is glowing. Can I ignore it and just let it be pretty or will it wither if I don't tend it anymore?

dusk zenith
#

i accidently just sold an item from my retainers inventory

#

is there anyway to get it back :(

You put it up for sale, or someone actually bought it already?

dusk zenith
#

i think it jsut sold it to some npc

dry glade
#

If you sell to an npc, you can buyback until you close the window, then it is gone.

dusk zenith
#

i had an item in my retainers inventroy that i wanted to sell so i thought if i pressed "have retainer sell item" i would be able to just sell it from it to the market board

fresh lodge
#

You can sell stuff to a retainer like its an npc

dusk zenith
#

but it turns out it just sells it to some random npc

fresh lodge
#

If you already closed the retainer menu you can't get it back

dry glade
#

if you click have retainer sell item. The retainer acts like a normal npc. Same rules apply though, there is a warning box.

dusk zenith
#

:9

#

:(

#

all right thanks guys

leaden ginkgo
#

Okay, this game is going to be a blast! Can you guys help me upgrade my game version? I see collectors, but what does that cover?

jade quartz
#

Collector's Edition gives some ingame cosmetics.

#

Typically a mount, a minion, a goofy glamour weapon

leaden ginkgo
#

So it does not cover the new xpacks?

jade quartz
#

The base game and each expac has its own coll. edition

obsidian patio
#

You just need plain old Shadowbringers if you don't mind not getting the stuff in the shadowbringers collector's edition

#

same thing for the base game

jade quartz
#

You can "upgrade" to collector's edition for each expac/base game using the "upgrade" option on the mog station

#

so don't worry about missing out

leaden ginkgo
#

Can you link me to the page to buy that?

jade quartz
#

you can go back and pay for them later if you like the look of one of them

leaden ginkgo
#

That will be fine. I can wait and go back for those.

#

Right page?

jade quartz
#

yes

#

That's coll. edition though

#

only go for that one if you want the Grani mount, Wind-up Fran minion and Revolver gunblade glamour.

leaden ginkgo
#

Right, I am doing the standard. And you're sure I wont need the other ones?

#

Like I will have them with the xpack?

jade quartz
#

You only need the base game and Shadowbringers.

leaden ginkgo
#

Okay

jade quartz
#

That's FFXIV in its entirety.

leaden ginkgo
#

How do I add my code?

#

Never mind, I got. I am so blind. haha

sick idol
#

what lvl i can switch to blue mage ?
and also dancer class

obsidian patio
#

50 after completing the base game story.

fresh lodge
#

Once you complete the quest "The Ultimate Weapon"

#

DNC is whenever you're level 60

i don't really understand the light/medium/heavy tug. from my understanding, it's how the character do the tugs. but how does that help me choose either precision or power hookset? i still wouldn't know what fish was hooked.

green grail
#

specific fish in each hole do specific tugs, for the most part

gloomy ice
#

Small tugs almost always require precision set. Heavy pulls usually need powerful set. Depends on the fish but generally that works.

green grail
#

if it's a heavy tug then powerful hookset increases the chance you'll get it, same with light tug and precision

little crane
#

where do I go for 56 FATEs?

jade quartz
#

Only light tugs require precision hookset. Medium and heavy tugs require powerful.

#

It's distinguishing light and medium that's the trick.

obsidian patio
#

Northern half of Sea of Clouds and the northern part of Churning Mists should do

jade quartz
#

Heavy tugs are pretty unmistakable.

#

They're distinguished by the way the tip of the rod is pulled

#

how much + the distinct sound effect of it being tugged at

obsidian patio
#

You can use the action that puts a light on the tip of the pole to see the tugging types easier

jade quartz
#

Heavy tugs look and feel as if your rod is going to snap

#

Light is a tiny twitch

#

medium is a slightly more sustained twitch

#

You'll probably second-guess them for awhile before you're comfortable distinguishing them.

#

The upcoming patch 5.2 is slated to make the tug types easier to distinguish.

obsidian patio
#

If you play on controller you can go entirely by vibrations

#

one is light, two is medium, and a constant is heavy

timber fossil
#

so it's the little tug when a fish is hooked?

#

damn, i didn't even pay attention to them

#

i would have like a second to decide

long pier
#

Hey guys I am working on the step for anima weapons where I need a ton of umbrite. What is the fastest way to farm Poetics?

obsidian patio
#

daily roulettes and then spam either the Aetherochemical Research Facility or the other dungeons that give like 100 poetics

long pier
#

Ah yeah that's what I've been doing but it takes so long to duty find for Aetherochemical

obsidian patio
#

If you're willing, you can also level up Blue Mage to 50 and do the Masked Carnivale for the hoard of first time completion allied seals and poetics

#

These dungeons give 100 poetics per run:
Amdapor Keep (Hard)
The Wanderer's Palace (Hard)
Keeper of the Lake
Baelsar's Wall
The Ghimlyt Dark

#

Those last three are story dungeons which should give them a better queue.

long pier
#

Ah okay thanks!

#

This step is so painful lol

obsidian patio
#

yeah the Anima weapon wants tons of poetics

#

the next step right after will want more unless you want to do a daily and weekly quest for them

long pier
#

Yeah I looked ahead and damn the grind is rral

#

Rral

#

Real

marble drift
#

you can buy things ahead of times though. So if you have nothing else to grab and are capped on poetics. I generally grab anima stuff

obsidian patio
#

can't for your first weapon

marble drift
#

Oh. right

#

its been ages since my first.

long pier
#

Yeah I wish I would have amhad the foresight for that. I sat maxed for like 2 weeks

#

Have had*

marble drift
#

Anima weaponry is probably the least grindiest of the 3 though.

#

Eurekan and Zodiac weapons are probably more "bash your head on this brick wall for 40,000 hours" type

#

Anima is more....remember your dailies

sharp tapir
#

I needa get here

#

but

marble drift
#

Are you in aleport?

#

take the ferry.

sharp tapir
marble drift
#

that 3rd option. notice on your map the place is called Isles of Umbra

sharp tapir
#

shieeet

#

I am blind

marble drift
#

Pharos Sirius is the name of the dungeon there

sharp tapir
#

sorry brother

marble drift
#

that denoted by the blue arch

#

it ALSO says Isle of Umbra docks

sharp tapir
#

yeah yeah

marble drift
#

just to rub a little salt in the wound 😛

sharp tapir
#

my ass was looking for aleport LOL

#

you deserve to LOL

#

my bad my bad

marble drift

whoops

sharp tapir
#

the blue name didn't help 💢

hey, i'm gonna get married, and we chose the platinum plan, when do we get the chocobo?

untold ermine
#

Is Holminster Switch a little more tricky to heal with an actual party(as opposed to Trust)or do I just need to get good?

static yacht
#

Depends on tank gear

#

Your gear

untold ermine
#

If it’s a “me” problem, then Thats fine, I’ll work on it.. i’m just curious..

static yacht
#

It definitely is harder

#

But thats cause of the

#

Level scaling

#

IE: in heavensward content a lustrate will heal for approximately 50-75% of a tanks health bar

marble drift
#

All non-drk tanks get rocked in Shadowbringers leveling dungeons

static yacht
#

In shadowbringers its more like a quarter

marble drift
#

and ALL tanks get rocked if they don't really know what they're doing

static yacht
#

Thats assuming you are going into it with scaeven gear too

whole wasp
#

And packs are larger too.

static yacht
#

Iirc level synced down makes it a lot easier

marble drift
#

If your tank doesn't rotate cooldowns in leveling dungeons

#

expect to be performing the cardinal sin of healers in FF

#

cast bar heals!

#

:OOOO

untold ermine
#

I’m currently wearing all 385 HQ crafted gear for Scholar(73). Replacing it with SHB dungeon drops as I get them. Is it worth me getting Scaevan gear at this point?

marble drift
#

nah you'll find at 75 its "on par"

#

and eclipsed by 77

#

just stick to your dungeon stuff

gloomy ice
#

Scaevan will alleviate some of the early gearing woes but, yeah, will need to be replaced.

static yacht
#

Tbh

#

Scholar has the roughest time for healrr

marble drift
#

if you just cant get that 1 piece

static yacht
#

For the 71 dungeon

marble drift
#

then maybe an augmented scaeven piece will suffice

untold ermine
#

Well I need one more Trust run to get Ryne to 73 so I can trust Dohn Mheg.

static yacht
#

They become rough til you get recitation and the HoT on sacred soil

untold ermine
#

I see

static yacht
#

@ 74 / 78

untold ermine
#

Cause Recitation lets me use Aeherflow heals, without Aetherflow, yeah?

lucid solar
#

fellas i wanna get a sub to play the next patch 5.2 . when is it gonna be out on a guess? like should i get a sub now or wait like a week or 2

static yacht
#

Yeah, and in general lustrate is not a strong oGCD heal, leaving you with only excog

#

@lucid solar feb 18

lucid solar
#

ah okay ty

gloomy ice
#

Feb 18th is only an estimate for now. Release date isn't official yet. Timing, however, would match up with previous live letters so it's a fair assumption.

lucid solar
#

yeah i just wanted an estimate

untold ermine
#

Finding that on Scholar I really kinda have to stay ahead of the damage, otherwise I screw myself and the healing gets hectic.

marble drift
#

keep your eyes to the lodestone news channel in up this discord

lucid solar
#

yeah i do

marble drift
#

well yeah Jay

untold ermine
#

Its a playstyle that appeals to me.

marble drift
#

Scholars are prevention

#

not cure

whole wasp
#

Yea you gotta manage your bag of tricks well

untold ermine
#

Proactive and preventative rather than reactive.

static yacht
#

Cast lucid dream on CD, it's a good habit to get into

untold ermine
#

I likey. I just gotta get the muscle memory and shit down

marble drift
#

I tend to cast it at about 7500 mp remaining the first time

#

and then just let it roll every time its off cd

#

going forward

whole wasp
#

Me too. Now i just mash it.

static yacht
#

Scholar definitely is a lot easier at 80 imo

marble drift
#

it gets way easier with a DRK that isnt bad I tell ya

#

TBN in dungeons actually reads:

#

Is immortal for 10 seconds

#

on a 30 second window

whole wasp
#

Fyi. You can adlo a tbn

#

And tbn will get eaten first

untold ermine
#

There is something really cool and badass about a shield landing just before groupwide damage hits. 😁😁😁

marble drift
#

did they finally fix that?

untold ermine
#

@marble drift oh ya, TBN is godly. It’s such a crutch, ngl it carried me to 80 on DRK.

whole wasp
#

Unless it helps saves a heal later, the shield doesnt really matter but its cool i agree.

marble drift
#

Lets be real it carried everyone to 80.

#

that skill is dumb as fuck. Its great

#

and the better gear you get the better it gets

#

as its scaled to your health.

untold ermine
#

@whole wasp finding if I time it right, the group ends up taking minimal damage and I’m back to Broiling.

#

Sometimes

whole wasp
#

Yup. Thats a great play then

marble drift
#

heh. broil

#

simmer your enemies on a slow heat

#

until well done

whole wasp
#

If you still gotta indom after and overheal a bunch thrn the shield didnt realy matter.

marble drift
#

aka: dead

whole wasp
#

The name for broil in jpn is dope as hell too.

untold ermine
#

What do the Shields scale with?

fresh lodge
#

For what job?

untold ermine
#

Scholar

fresh lodge
#

Mind ofc

obsidian patio
#

!action adloquium

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Adloquium** : lvl 30 SCH (1000 MP) (2.5 second cooldown)

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.

fresh lodge
#

Its based on how much you heal

obsidian patio
#

A critlo is over 1000 potency worth of effective healing if i did my math right. 👀

untold ermine
#

For Adlo, Crit = second shield. For Succor crit = bigger shield, right?

obsidian patio
#

succor doesn't get the crit shield

#

only adloquium does

untold ermine
#

Succor doesn’t crit?

whole wasp
#

But yes it would atill be bigger than a normal shield.

fresh lodge
#

No it can crit

marble drift
#

no succor doesnt have a different shield

obsidian patio
#

it can still crit, but it doesn't get a second shield

fresh lodge
#

It doesn't get Catalyst

untold ermine
#

Right.

marble drift
#

it rolls its crit into Galvanize

untold ermine
#

It just gets a bigger one

marble drift
#

yeh

#

Aldo gets a special treatment because with the new priority thing. you can just re-adlo for a shield once galv has been eaten

#

and not mess with Catalyze

warped nest
#

Crit Aldo gets an additional shield on top of the crit healing

marble drift
#

yeah the actual crit heal is rolled into both Galv and Cata

warped nest
#

So it is some seriously substantial mitigation

marble drift
#

you can see it with the new "see shields on hp bars" thing

#

they put in for ShB

#

a Critlo in leveling dungeons

#

is functionally HP bar #2 for dps

#

and at like 50% for tanks

untold ermine
#

From what I remember reading, they split the Crit Adlo Shield into a 2nd shield..because you used to be able to Deploy the Crit Shield and that was OP as fuck?

obsidian patio
#

yeah

marble drift
#

yes. you could

obsidian patio
#

it made some healing checks a pushover

untold ermine
#

I missed all the good shit lil

#

Lol

obsidian patio
#

because imagine giving everyone what was basically +50% of their HP as a shield (besides tanks)

polar hound
#

You could literally skip some mechanics in Savage with that lol

#

Or rather.. Just eat them

marble drift
#

and I mean. you can still "kinda" do that now too

#

get your entire group under soil, recit out a succor with Seraph out too

#

have her pop Consul and thats a fucking lot of shielding

#

it aint as good as it once was sure

#

but...its...so much

fresh lodge
#

Recitting a succor is a waste

marble drift
#

Fair.

fresh lodge
#

Its better to let the party take the damage and use it on Indom

untold ermine
#

Fairy heals scale in your Mind also?

fresh lodge
#

Yes but not 1:1

warped nest
#

Fairy is around 1/3rd?

marble drift
#

oh man could you imagine.

warped nest
#

Iirc

marble drift
#

they'd have to murder fairie potencies

#

to make up for it

#

or scholar would literally be 2 healers in 1 class

gloomy ice
#

They did. Fairies were pretty nuts in HW.

fresh lodge
gloomy ice
#

Agreed

untold ermine
#

Here is a stupid question. I’m not seriously considering this, but I am curious. They sell a Retainer Jump Potion on Mog Station. So suppose you use one of those and then assign your Retainer a Job. It then starts back at level 1, thus making the purchase useless, yeah?

gloomy ice
#

Assigning a job to your retainer does not reset its level as long as it's a job that their class can take.

#

In other words it's safe 😛

obsidian patio
#

I think it only 'resets' for the expansion jobs?

#

can't remember

untold ermine
#

I see.

fresh lodge
#

No since you need to meet the level requirements to make it an expansion job

untold ermine
#

So if I level my Retainer as an ACN, then I can switch then to SMN or SCH without its level resetting?

fresh lodge
#

Yes

#

Or any of the expansion jobs

gloomy ice
#

From my understanding, you're unable to change it again after assigning it once.

fresh lodge
#

Yep

gloomy ice
#

Meaning a reset is necessary if you want to go from SMN to SCH

untold ermine
#

Gotcha.

sick idol
fresh lodge
#

Nope

boreal lynx
#

A bit confused on how housing works. Can we transfer houses or is it whenever u want a house, u have to wait until 1 is free then buy?

sick idol
#

😦

boreal lynx
#

Are u in the novice Network? People would normally be fine with helping u clear it. Otherwise i assume you are a dps class right?

gloomy ice
#

Once you own a plot of land, you are able to skip the timers on other plots should you choose to relocate.

As for transferring ownership, that isn't possible in the current system unless it's owned by an FC and FC leadership changes.

#

Although the latter case doesn't really count since it's still owned by the FC

leaden ginkgo
#

what is the fastest way to get the sand for the aniomas reconditioned phase

obsidian patio
#

crafting and gathering scrips

#

HW leves are one of the better options if you don't have a crafter or gatherer leveled up

gloomy ice
#

I'm not sure if it's the fastest per se but one of the preferred methods for non-crafters is to spam HW levequests

obsidian patio
#

There's also the ARR Extreme trial materials which you could solo farm for at 80 or buy off of the marketboard

gritty oracle
#

Is there a macro to auto-target, interact and confirm teleportation? I have lag and can't teleport reliably on the first teleporter in Prae, and can't use the other at all because it gets canceled before I could even confirm teleportation.

warped nest
#

Macro is sent from client's end

obsidian wren
#

Can't interact with menus using ingame macros

#

You could use your numpad to try and speed things up

#

Numpad 0 is confirm and 4 & 6 are left & right

#

As a tank sometimes you just cant make it through the teleporter

#

You can respawn and use the shortcut near the spawn

obsidian patio
#

yeah I have to spam it hard to sometimes make it through as a tank

obsidian wren
#

The other tank can always do the next pull if you die so it's not a huge loss

rough anchor
#

uh, is there a way to make a hotbar with no job-specific abilities still change when swapping jobs?

you can choose which hotbars are shared between all jobs and job-specific

rough anchor
#

thanks

untold ermine

Retainers can wear Tome Gear right

#

?

obsidian patio

little crane
#

Anything I can spend these on so I dont reach 2000?

#

Or can I increase the total amount I can hold maybe

jade quartz
#

Gear for alt classes, augments for current gear if you need it/haven't already

little crane
#

what's augments?

jade quartz
#

2000 is max, not increasable

little crane
#

those gems that you put in?

jade quartz
#

No, those are materia

#

Tomestone gear can be "augmented", increasing the ilvl by 10 levels (and making it dyeable)

#

Requires buying an item and trading the gear piece and item to an augmenting NPC.

#

For example, to augment Ironworks gear from i120 to i130, you purchase with Poetics in Mor Dhona one Carbontwine for each piece of body armour + weapon, and one Carboncoat for each accessory

#

and then take them to Drake in Hyrstmill in the North Shroud to have your Ironworks gear augmented with them.

little crane
#

ah

#

cool

#

Where do I buy level 80 tomestone gear?

jade quartz
#

||Eulmore||

#

Must have first finished the base Shadowbringers main story

little crane
#

ye done that

leaden ginkgo
#

so like.. do i have to do each of those books for the relic weapons?

#

like theres 4 for the sword and 2 for my shield

jade quartz
#

Yes

leaden ginkgo
#

ouch

jade quartz
#

You’ve reached possibly the most infamous step

#

The books are rough going.

leaden ginkgo
#

yeah? the other relic weapons as fun as this one too?

jade quartz
#

You’re at what’s probably the worst step in any of them nowadays.

#

The concept behind all types of relic weapons is that they’re a grind though

#

Since they’re in some ways the alternative to savage raid weapons during the expansion that they’re current.

little crane
#

Im level 57, how can I get 115 ilvl to pass requirement to queue dungeons?

jade quartz
#

Oh no cog 😰

little crane
#

I got full lvl 50 gear

jade quartz
#

You should have been far past that level long ago

little crane
#

Huh

jade quartz
#

The best 50 gear—the augmented ironworks stuff I mentioned—is outdated by level 55

little crane
jade quartz
#

Also the MSQ should have provided you with lots of HQ gear if this is your first job

little crane
#

I bought this from Mor Dono at 50

jade quartz
#

Oh no

little crane
#

Oh it's not my first job

#

I got a level 80 job

jade quartz
#

That’s extremely low

#

That stuff also uh isn’t sold in Mor Dhona

little crane
#

I think I bought it here...

#

Idk maybe not Im confused

jade quartz
#

Okay for now, take all those tomestones of poetics you showed me and talk to Auriana in Mor Dhona

#

Who is the easternmost of those vendors in that minimap pic

#

And buy ironworks gear

#

Uh firstly the weapon

#

Which is a bit confusing

#

In Auriana’s “Allagan Tomestones of Poetics (Other)” section, buy 10x “Rowena’s Token (Poetics)” and 1x “Encrypted Tomestone”

#

Then talk to Aelina next to her and go to her “Ironworks Magitek Weapons” section

#

And trade those items for a weapon for your job.

little crane
#

ooo I've been here

#

I went here to buy accessories like 2 hours ago

#

Just didnt buy main gear

jade quartz
#

Then go back to Auriana and buy—yeah the left side gear

#

Fill as many slots as you can afford with Ironworks gear.

#

Now that should get you high enough to enter the dungeon at least, but it’s still low gear for your level

#

Don’t you have some dungeon drops?

#

51–59 dungeons are guaranteed to drop an item for your current job straight into your inventory upon completion

little crane
#

oh........

#

oh no....

jade quartz
#

😰

little crane
#

Lucky I just got enough

placid lava
#

ffxiv is crossplat right?

obsidian patio
#

yes

placid lava
#

ok thanks

little crane
#

ok got ilvl to 108

#

ah frick my weapon is 45

#

ok this is epic

jade quartz
#

That’s why I said do weapon first sad

#

Weapon counts for two slots of ilvl calculation

little crane
#

ohhhhhhhhhh

#

fffffffffu

jade quartz
#

And is just overall the most important stat wise

#

But do you not have any dungeon drops from leveling 51–57?

#

Check your inventory

little crane
#

no

jade quartz
#

How recently did you level 51–57?

little crane
#

Just now

jade quartz
#

Through regular dungeons?

little crane
#

Roulette and POTD

jade quartz
#

Oh

#

Then that’s why

#

Run the level 55 dungeon I guess sadcarby

little crane
#

can do a 53

#

max

jade quartz
#

Or buy marketboard gear

#

Might have to buy marketboard gear to fill slots if you don’t wanna grind out more poetics.

little crane
#

Idk how to grind them

jade quartz
#

Doing level 50 content

#

Or 60/70

#

On other jobs

hot eagle
#

running msq roulette helps for poetics

jade quartz
#

^

little crane
#

That's only once a day though right

gloomy ice
#

You’ll still get 200-300 even without the roulette bonus

south plank
#

So my plan was to create a character on a preferred world on crystal , then transfer to balmung once the patch dropped. But now I’m reading and it seems like you can only transfer after 90 days if you made a character on a preferred world

#

So did I just screw myself over?

jade quartz
#

Err yes

#

But also

#

There are no guarantees Balmung would have opened up anyway.

#

And you can just world visit if you want to RP there

south plank
#

Not really an rp thing, just like lived in servers. And Itd be cool to join a free company or whatever

#

Guess Ill have to wait till 5.3

jade quartz
#

All servers are lived in.

#

I always hear that Balmung is a bit stagnant now actually, what with there being no new players joining it

knotty spindle
#

Balmung has always been stagnant because it was filled to the brim with role players and everyone in the roleplayer’s network.

bleak fulcrum

Hey there, just wanted to ask about custom deliveries. Is it 6 per week per person (Zhloe, M'naago etc.) or can I do all 3 in a week, since on Timers it shows an allowance of 12? Or am I limited to doing 2 lots of 6 per week?

strong falcon
#

Quick question about addon UI : i've seen some video with addon, like dps meter, skill used showed at the top of the screen, some things like this. How does that work? i mean is it okay to used them?

obsidian patio
#

@bleak fulcrum 12 total per week, 6 per person

#

ACT, the damage meter used for the game, falls into a grey area. As long as you don’t use it to harass others or publicly tell random people in-game that you are using it then it’s completely fine to use.

#

As for the skill used thing, I don’t know what that would be exactly but it would fall under the same guidelines if I had to imagine

strong falcon
#

hm, i'll probably stay like that, don't wanna take the risk

bleak fulcrum
#

Thank you

Has there been precedent to a Tia having a kid in the tribe? What happened?

jade quartz
#

It’s not something that’s been explored.

junior hull
#

hi, anyone know why when i try on the padjali weapon it doesnt glow?

green grail
#

cause try on window has different shaders and stuff

junior hull
#

so if i equip it, it will be normal?

green grail
#

yes

junior hull
#

alright thanks!

livid hearth
#

why do my guy have alot of mp when im lvl 1

shut panther
#

because mp is normalized

#

everyone has 10k

livid hearth
#

ok

#

thanks

shut panther
#

as for why it's not just a %.. your guess is good as mine really

vocal canyon
#

Paying a sub with a card vs paying with crysta, is it basically the same price?

serene elbow
#

i been doing Shinryu so many times but i still can't figure out 1move that wind push to the cliff and died.. i notice only me that get get push but other teammate still standing at same spot. what should i do ?

green grail
#

press surecast/arm's length

#

or look where the water spout is when he casts tidal wave and get close to it, that's where the pushback is from

serene elbow
#

so he push players to water circle ?

#

but also can be prevent using arm length ?

#

got it

green grail
#

no, there's like a geyser of water on left or right edge or behind

#

and the geyser pushes you

#

if it's like
water | arena | nothing
then knockback is this way
---------------->

serene elbow
#

geyser water ? that water circle ?

green grail
#

no, giant water spout outside the arena

#

just watch a guide peepoShrugger

Tho it's nice to to the bills if you need centurio, there minions / furniture and a mount locked behind those

#

The old HW wyvern mount need like 6 book you buy with centurio

brave notch
#

How come even though I've set my game to standard laptop settings, I'm getting 30fps?

#

I've got a gtx960 and 16gb of ram.. so wtf

leaden ginkgo
#

is there any way to farm poetics to speed up my anima?

stray saffron
#

@brave notch could be CPU bottleneck tbh. tends to be an issue with laptops

#

@leaden ginkgo most efficient is just do all the roulettes that give poetics 1/day and then walk away. if you really want to farm, you could spam ARF or castrum meridianum

junior elk
#

@leaden ginkgo or find bonus runs for ppl needing to unlock all of Alexander or all of Delta if you got into stormblood

nimble gate
#

Hey, can someone help me with queue for A relic reborn : Chimera?

little needle
#

I recently unlocked the anima weapon missions. Are they worth it? What sort of effort is involved here? Priority on aesthetics

brave notch
#

@stray saffron I'm on a self-built desktop though.. I only used laptop quality as a reference for how odd it was

#

with a intel i4770 cpu

@brave notch Try putting it in fullscreen

#

Not fullscreen windowed

potent umbra
#

how do i download the game with the intent of playing the free trial?

green grail
#

from the trial site

junior elk
#

Pc or ps4

potent umbra
#

pc

junior elk
potent umbra
#

yeah i found it just now

smoky glade
#

do trusts give less xp? i've had 3 hard stops now from not being at the right level

twilit arch
#

no

#

the only difference between trust dungeons and player ran dungeons is the amount of loot inside the chests and the fact that trust dungeons will generally be 30~mins+

smoky glade
#

oh so not getting enough xp to level up to proceed with msq is totally normal?

twilit arch
#

if all you're doing is msq, yes

potent umbra
#

what are the major differences between the tank classes?

smoky glade
#

oh alright thank you

green grail
#

pld has a static looping rotation, warrior has a builder/spender rotation with keeping a buff up, drk is a gauge and mana management with a strong personal shield that when broken makes your next mp attack free and gunbreaker is the most complex one rotation-wise with 30s, 60s and 90s cooldowns constantly realligning in different burst windows

potent umbra
#

whats a "builder/spender rotation"?

green grail
#

you do your combo and you build gauge to spend on big hits

warped nest
#

Afaict, GNB only has 1 90s ability

strong falcon
#

is it me or scholar is like, dps and heal with ogcd ? just watch a guide from desperius, and he just kinda said "all the castable heal cost too much mp and aren't good enough" O,O

warped nest
#

Everything else should tuck nicely into a 30/60s rotation

#

You should prioritize using your oGCD heals

whole wasp
#

@strong falcon more or less. Your oGCDs are very powerful. But if you have to reach deep into your bag of tricks to survive, healers gotta heal.

warped nest
#

But when you run out....

green grail
#

desperius is pretty bad so i generally would reccomend avoiding the guides @rugged ginkgo

warped nest
#

!faq balance

zinc orbitBOT
warped nest
#

Just read this

#

Or watch people who advice you to read from this

rugged ginkgo

#

Lol, vis, I think you @ the wrong player

green grail
#

came up when i started typing the @ peepoShrugger

rugged ginkgo
#

I was really confused. peepowut

green grail
fallow tundra
#

what is best way to level an alt dps? i wanna level a level 25 drg. and queue times for dps is super long. also, is it better to queue leveling roulette or highest level dungeon?

high frigate
#

I use a combination of levequests and company missions

#

Those missions where you take NPCs to the dungeons instead

proud willow
#

Run levelling roulette once per day, do Fates while in queue. After that, do PotD 51-60 over and over if you don't have a healer friend you can queue with

high frigate
#

POTD seems to have long queues lately

#

at least for early levels... I haven't gone past floor 20 or so befre

hot eagle
#

roulettes only give a 1 time bonus per day so after it u should run your highest possible dungeon

proud willow
#

early floors will have longer queues, yeah

hot eagle
#

for potd most people only spam 51-60 to lvl the rest of the floors is often dead

whole wasp
#

Most people run floors 51-60 repeatedly too.

little crane
#

does the xp you get from beast tribe quests scale with your level or is it a set amount?

proud willow
#

for ARR tribes, it is set. for all the expansion tribes, it scales (but no higher than the max level of that expansion, I believe)

little crane
#

ah

fallow tundra
#

thank you so much guys for all your help, very informative ❤️

warm raft
#

I just made a new character can I give her my mount and items? same dataserver

green grail
#

mounts are character specific so no, items only through a friend or a company chest by being in the same FC

#

you can't use mail because you can only friend other online characters, and you can't be online on 2 characters of 1 account at once

warm raft
#

uhum so only company chest?

green grail
#

pretty much

open coral
#

Unless you have cash or special event mounts (like the Regalia from the FFXV crossover event), any mount you have on one character can be pretty easily obtained or farmed on another.

timid haven
#

Hello im a new FFxiv player (wow refugee), anyone can point me in a site where i can read some beginner stuff what classes/jobs(dunno exactly even what those are)/roles are more in depths but with small words for a nab like myself?

open coral
#

Welcome fellow WoW refugee! Honestly if you're looking for a site like wowhead or icy-veins that spells things out, there isn't really anything like that for FFXIV.

timid haven
#

aw, too bad :/ cheers thou!

whole wasp
#

Its abit of a wall but here you go

#

!faq newplayertips

zinc orbitBOT
timid haven
#

oh ,shiny! thanks @whole wasp

open coral
#

One thing I'll say up front is that, unlike WoW, a single character is not locked into a single job. So if you pick something you don't like, but don't want to start the game over, you don't have to.

timid haven
#

thats pretty neat, need to make one all-in-one awesome looking char thou.. the pressure is on for transmog glory

open coral
#

Just reach level 10 with your first job, and complete the job quest, and you'll be able to change to any other job in the game (provided you meet the prerequisites).

#

FFXIV is a huge xmog (we call it glamour here) game.

#

There are icy-veins/wowhead-type sites devoted to glamour.

#

That's how big it is.

timid haven
#

like, fashionframe big endgame?

#

oh dang

open coral
#

There's a lot of versatility in appearances over here. Gear is restricted by job rather than armor type, and certain pieces are completely unrestricted, so you can use them with any job.

#

You can get somewhat of an idea of the kinds of things people do down in #art

#

Just beware location spoilers.

lyric warren
oak ice
#

Pretty sure someone already lives there, is what it means

gritty oracle
#

Does the quest Let The Hunt Begin have a requirement quest or something? It shows up as a red bluequest on the minimap, but not on the screen, and when I talk to the guy, he just says "Talk to the storm flyer at the airship landin'. She'll take ye where ye need to go."
Does that mean I have to PvP to unlock hunts?

open coral
#

No, you don't need to PvP to unlock hunts.

little crane
#

are you second lieutenant?

gritty oracle
#

I'm like one step below max

#

I'm Chief Storm Sergeant

open coral
#

You need to be Second Lieutenant

gritty oracle
#

Better get on with my hunting log then in guess.

crude relic
#

That's like halfway to max rank in a GC lol you've got to do some more promotions to get to 2nd LT.

little crane
#

just one more I think actually

open coral
#

Yep, Chief Sergeant is the rank before Second Lieutenant

little crane
#

wait wrong

#

ok not wrong

gritty oracle
#

Ah, my bad

#

Why can't it say so tho

whole wasp
#

Could also run some dungeons and turn in all the pink/green gear.

little crane
#

What does it say when you click on him?

open coral
#

Did you accept the quest to unlock the Wolf's Den but not actually go out there?

#

That's the only thing I can think of that might cause that particular dialogue.

gritty oracle
#

I guess

little crane
#

I literally just did this quest, all you do is get rank 2 in maelstrom hunting log and do the quest the commander gives you

#

but I was confused as well so

#

(to get second lieutenant)

topaz scroll
#

I'm about to upgrade from free trial to regular

#

where should I upgrade from? Mog station or Square enix store?

open coral
#

Mog station will redirect you to the SE store

#

You can't actually purchase the expansion on the mog station.

topaz scroll
#

oh the upgrade via mog station upgrade will direct me to SE store?

little crane
#

ye

open coral
#

The purchase will redirect to the SE store. Once you've purchased the upgrade, you'll get a code which you'll need to enter on the mog station to activate it.

topaz scroll
#

Gotcha thanks guys!

Is there a better way to contact support than their website? Tried 3 times with a case sensitive email issue and all I get are auto replies.

little crane
#

I'm level 61 on my alt job now, do I just spam HoH?

open coral
#

Or max level dungeons

#

I prefer dungeons, personally

marble drift
#

ok so. Housing question. the Grade 1,2 and 3 paintings are tied to the Joyous Painter over in Idylshire correct? anything he sells goes in those?

raven sage
#

yes

marble drift
#

ok then follow up. Does the paintings he sells just go in any of the frames? and they just scale to size?

raven sage
#

They scale yes

marble drift
#

ok! final question. Why are alot of the painters options empty. Are they tied to like...sightseeing logs?

raven sage
#

Yep

marble drift
#

ok actual final question. are his paintings the things you see after discovering a sightseeing log? like the same as the journal?

raven sage
#

Not as confident on this one but they should be recreations of what you saw

junior elk
#

Some special one are offered in colors

#

Not many tho

frosty badger
#

how do i aoe when i got foul and umbral soul?

marble drift
#

do not all sightseeing logs have a painting?

junior elk
#

But yeah getting more is all tie to sightseeing achievement, there a lot more color painting for Shadowbringers

twilit arch
#

the image you see in the sightseeing log when you've completed it, is the image the painter will have

junior elk
#

There achievement for ARR, one for HW one for stormblood and one for Shadowbringers for the painting

marble drift
#

ah hell. you need to do em all eh? its not 1 by 1?

twilit arch
#

there's 2 per actually

#

well, one for shb right now

junior elk
#

But only the last one give painting

twilit arch
#

No

#

you need to get the appropriate achievement to unlock that section of paintings

#

so 1-45 needs the 1-45 achievement

junior elk
#

Something like that yeah but gotta do each expension

twilit arch
marble drift
#

ah ok so you don't get any until you get the acheivement which gives you ALL of them.

#

you literally picked the one I wanted

twilit arch
#

for that section, yes

marble drift
#

😦

frosty badger
#

bummer

marble drift
#

I wanted that and the one of Aynx Trine. 😦

twilit arch
#

so you need to complete HW sightseeing logs 1-45 if that's the one you want

junior elk
#

HW vistas are in the easiest

raven sage
#

Alternatively, you can ask someone who has them unlocked to buy the painting for you or check the market board

#

But they might be absurdly priced

marble drift
#

oh real? that sounds way easier

raven sage
#

Entirely up to you though

twilit arch
#

the only really annoying ones are ARR

junior elk
#

I have HW SB and SHB fines, not ARR

twilit arch
#

expansion vistas are incredibly easy

raven sage
#

ARR is sadness

twilit arch
#

and with the link i posted, they tell you what emote
