Free Company
Guilds basically
then the guildmaster or whoever the guildmaster empowers can craft an airship/submersible and send those on ventures.
sonic sapphire
oHHH
green grail
and you can craft airships/submarines as huuuge projects for the FC then send them to the zones you found, like sectors of sea of clouds
whole wasp
up to you really. the 3 gatherers are all ok.
tho early level fishing is alot of waiting
leaden ginkgo
Is samurai terribly difficult to pick up?
green grail
figure out the basics first then worry about stuff like 60s/120s cooldowns etc
stuff like mapping out your combos, how iaijutsu works
green grail
iaijutsu yeah
you have 3 combo finishers and each gives a different sen
then iaijutsu changes depending on the amount of sen, 1 sen is a 60s long dot, 2sen is an aoe cone, 3sen is a bigass hit
green grail
yeah, but keeping the dot up all the time is basically as important
green grail
basically yeah
leaden ginkgo
I'll see if I can wrap my head, around it in potd. Ty. 😀
oak ice
And always buff your Sen spenders with Kaiten
The ability you unlock at 76 does not spend Sen
leaden ginkgo
I just unlocked it. 😊
green grail
well yeah you unlock a lot of more complex skills as you level, and meikyo shisui at 50 already can be pretty complex, but the basics are more important for now
leaden ginkgo
Yea, it will take a bit getting the combos down
oak ice
I see. At 50 it's just keep dots up and rotate into the big hitters
leaden ginkgo
Mch is dead easy.. And I've been doing that for a while now.
Ty. I'll practice that.
sonic sapphire
@green grail to go try fishing for that fish I should first level my fishing to 50?

@twilit arch oh ty that's really useful 😀
leaden ginkgo
Yea that's definitely going to help a lot
sonic sapphire
or smth
leaden ginkgo
gah summoner has gotten me used to standing in one place
So what does greased lightning do?
fresh lodge
It lowers your GCD
twilit arch
makes you sonic
leaden ginkgo
oh sick
fresh lodge
So you attack more
whole wasp
gotta go fast
leaden ginkgo
I like the sound of that
this game feels so much snappier without channels LOL
granted with summoner it took 5 seconds to do a basic attack
twilit arch
smn gets a lot better once you get higher up
leaden ginkgo
yeah all the motivation I lost in playing this game as now come back thanks to monk
twilit arch
if you want to play a ranged class that's not immobile at early levels, i would suggest giving archer/bard a go
in general tho, low level jobs are pretty boring
leaden ginkgo
yeah I was debating between monk and bard but decided to try melee
my main issue with summoner was that it takes a minute just to kill anything and most of that is just spent waiting
feral marlin
is anyone aware of if square purges old characters after a certain amount of time?
faint flare
Tfw i was basically insta killing overworld mobs as smn cause egi assaults too stronk
feral marlin
just got back into my old account (last played 6 years ago) and i know im missing a conjuror and pugilist
junior yacht
as far as i'm aware no, they don't
stray saffron
no character purges, your characters are probably on a different datacenter
we have had server reshuffles in the last year or so
obsidian wren
maybe you logged out on a different class?
junior yacht
yeah, make sure the characters you're missing aren't actually the same character with levels in those classes
leaden ginkgo
hey guys im stuck at a quest which says present something inspirational to Grenoldt, ive done some reading and it says you have to complete a level 80 role quest
im level 80, but nothing tells me were the heck the role quest is, or what it even is
junior yacht
yes it did
obsidian wren
they start in the crystarium
obsidian wren
near the inn
junior yacht
there was a big old window that popped up and said "THIS IS WHERE ROLE QUEST LINES START MAKE SURE YOU DO THEM"
kind burrow
i still dont know how to recruit a friend, do i need to be on 45 day subscription by any chance so that i will have the code to recruit a friend?
cause right now im on entry
leaden ginkgo
@obsidian wren thanks heaps, i found it ❤️
leaden ginkgo
i think hide is a ninja ability isnt it? that you can put onto your action bar and use before a fight, then whenever you get in combat you are taken out of hide
twilit arch
you can hit hide again to unhide
languid kernel
doesnt work
hot eagle
try to sprint
leaden ginkgo
weird
languid kernel
sprinting keeps hide and wastes sprint lol
leaden ginkgo
so when u hide your stuck in hide?
languid kernel
ya i have to right click the status icon
raw solstice
you can use death blossom to break hide
raw solstice
any action that's not sprint breaks hide
that one's just handy since you don't have to initiate combat to use it or whatever else
languid kernel
ok i can unhide by clicking hide when the cooldown is done
leaden ginkgo
What should I be spending my poetics on if I have all my gear from ironworks?
hot eagle
@kind burrow https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/287679207432257538/676821731243196416/Screenshot_2020-02-11-16-07-51.jpg click in your account on recruit friend should give a code
fallow tundra
does anyone know if i have to finish every category in the books during animus weapon quest?
faint flare
@languid kernel just use death blossom after hide or use /statusoff Hidden (or whatever the hide buff is called) in a macro
hot eagle
if u cant get yet shiregear in idylshire i would get Unidentifiable_Ore these u can exchange for soils later which u can sell
@leaden ginkgo
languid kernel
alright thx
faint flare
Or just start precasting your mudra/suiton
hot eagle
the soils u can get in idyshire too, the ores u can get in mor
twilit arch
you can buy the unidentifiable items in idyllshire
hot eagle
so its better to get the ores before u waste poetics when u dont need more ironworks gear for another job
leaden ginkgo
Ty both^^
languid kernel
you know it would be really nice if they made hide not lower movespeed
leaden ginkgo
Can I get dark knight at the first HW msq?
oak ice
Yes
scarlet arrow
as soon as you make it to Ishgard proper
oak ice
As soon as you get to Ishgard
kind burrow
@hot eagle thanks a lot i seemed to have ignored it because it looked like an ad, XD
leaden ginkgo
Ok
oak ice
But it starts at 30 so you have to level it to 50 to keep doing MSQ
hot eagle
mch, ast and drk all 3 hw jobs start lvl30 so u will need to lvl them first
scarlet arrow
MCH probably, DRK and AST not so much since you can just spam dungeons
oak ice
Depends on how fervent you are, leveling roulette and dungeon spam and it's not that long
hot eagle
but should be easy with armoury bonus or should u have road its even easier
scarlet arrow
yeah if you have Road to 70 then getting any of those jobs to 50 wont be a problem
leaden ginkgo
What's road
oak ice
An EXP buff that is applied when you make a new character on a preferred server
It doubles every single exp you get
leaden ginkgo
How do I check if I have that?
faint flare
Orange background
oak ice
IIRC it's yellow and red and looks kinda like an explosion
leaden ginkgo
So I should still have it I've been playing since dec 25
One sec I'm in a cutscene rn I'll show you guys soon
faint flare
No
leaden ginkgo
How though? My character is still new
I haven't hit 90 days yet
So I should technically have it no?
oak ice
It just wasn't made on a preferred server, is all
zinc orbitBOT
oak ice
Leveling roulette and spam your highest unlocked dungeon, with food buff
faint flare
^
wintry chasm
Highest leveling dungeon
green grail
or just PotD
wintry chasm
Aka 1-49/51-59/61-69 etc
Do dungeons though
Gotta learn how to tank
PotD doesn't really do that
leaden ginkgo
Can I do level 50 dungeons while being at 30?
oak ice
No
fresh lodge
No
wintry chasm
^
scarlet arrow
you'll be doing Haukke manor at the beginning
oak ice
It will be Haukke until 32, then Brayflox until 35 etcetc
fresh lodge
Just do your highest level dungeon
fresh lodge
Or PotD to 32 and spam Haukke then Brayflox
scarlet arrow
35-50 dungeons give you irregular tomestones for one more week, might as well take advantage of that
leaden ginkgo
Ok
scarlet arrow
make sure you have lvl 30 tank gear as well, you get a sword and nothing else at the beginning
leaden ginkgo
Hi, so I have a problem with buying the game. I'm trying to buy the digital download version of the game through the German product store, but it takes me to the general EU store, which doesn't list Germany in the billing country list.
What can I do?
Ok
proper lake
For farming Anima light solo, are there any other dungeons that are cleared as easily and fast as Haukke Manor (Hard) and Brayflox’s Longstop (Hard)?
wintry chasm
@leaden ginkgo Can you screenshot please?
I might know your issue
Balance patches are basically every X.X patch
don't tend to be X.XX
Depends on how much they have to deal with?
I stand by my comment
faint flare
Typically minor...balance is decent
wintry chasm
Game is pretty balanced though
faint flare
Every job is viable
zinc orbitBOT
leaden ginkgo
ffxiv is honestly more balanced than any other mmo ive played, even wow cant get it right at times and ffxiv is ahead of the game, the main reason - they listen to feedback at ffxiv
faint flare
More about skill than anything else
gloomy ice
Balance is relatively good yeah. Balance changes occur on major patches which are every 3-4 months, but they're not always necessary and sometimes even the major patches don't affect game balance.
faint flare
There really isnt a.point where a job is completely unviable
gloomy ice
Changes, when they do occur, are usually very minor. A skill gets 10 more attack damage or another gets a slightly longer cooldown. Big changes are pretty rare.
twilit arch
most jobs can fit all their actions onto 3 hotbars
stray saffron
24-36 buttons total, of which probably 8-12 or so are used all the time. you want them all bound though.
languid kernel
yes
save your abilities to unused hotbars, then make a macro that copies them to your main hotbars
when your click a key
leaden ginkgo
tho it would be nice if they setup a way to have an ability on your action bar, lets say , slot 1, which can rotate through a rotation by pressing 1, the ability changes to the next ability
appearently its in pvp ( i dont pvp ) but its not planned for pve content
stray saffron
it's not about animations, here, it's all about the GCD
leaden ginkgo
unless your a gunbreaker, then its about weaving 😄
stray saffron
weaving is about the GCD as well, since a successful weave keeps the global cooldown rolling seamlessly
languid kernel
Heres example that I use, when I want combat abilities, I have them copied over from hotbars 4 5 and 6
leaden ginkgo
yeah it still confuses me, im using the typical old QEDFTG binds and keyboards binds
i dont get that macro stuff
gloomy ice
GCD here is 2.5s but can be lowered with stats and certain skills. So typically you can get 1-2 off-GCD in between each weapon skill.
Playing on a controller is just as viable as playing on kb+m. This game is pretty well optimized for controllers.
faint flare
After playing on both kbm and controller for 14, i lowkey prefer controller...other than a few nitpicks
leaden ginkgo
i see a crapload of streamers who mix the KB and controller, they will have 1 hotbar dedicated to the keyboard for quick access to necessities
and then the rest on controller
chilly birch
How come i dont see more reward in the grand company as i rank into a new rank?
gloomy ice
Each rank should give something as far as I'm aware but sometimes a new rank will unlock only one or two new items.
wintry chasm
Yeah
ocean tusk
Can someone tell me how to get my mp back as a summoner?
twilit arch
use lucid dreaming
leaden ginkgo
So now I have a new problem. I'm not getting a confirmation email for my purchase of the game.
stray saffron
the automated emails run a little slow sometimes, but make sure and check your spam folder too
small trout
Anyone know if it's possible to skip cutscenes in the Praetorium if I run it undersized and unsynced?
lapis steppe
Hey, if i queued already for roulette trials, and i queue again, will i get the fc rep still?
Im not bothered about the exp, im just trying to get some more fc rep
wintry chasm
No @small trout
stray saffron
nope
wintry chasm
Just watch Netflix
stray saffron
the reason is because speedrunners were basically ruining the experience for new players when the cutscenes were skippable
small trout
Oh, that's the plan anyway :P, but still annoying to have to sit there for so long
Oh yea, I get that when it's a normal queue
I meant if I basically got a friend and we ran it as a pair with just 2 of us, could we skip scenes
oak ice
Nope
strong falcon
Okay, i've a mega Strange question. Is it possible, via a third program or something elle, to play a sound i would chose when i launch a Skill? Like putting Madara gouka mekkyaku or tsubame gaeshi from Fate anime ( weeb intensifiées)
wintry chasm
However
leaden ginkgo
You can't cast glamour on lower level items?
wintry chasm
If you do it undersized, disconnecting and reconnecting would let you bypass the cutscenes @small trout
You can't put the appearance of higher level gear on lower gear Hyoh
small trout
Oh, for real?! That's awesome
fresh lodge
You would have to hard quit out of the game using Task Manager
Though why are you running it unsynced?
oak ice
The equippable level of the glam has to be lower than what you're trying to glam it on
leaden ginkgo
But you can put the appearance of a lower level gear on a high level gear right?
oak ice
Yes
leaden ginkgo
Ok
fresh lodge
@small trout you're not running it unsynced for the Moogle tomes are you?
small trout
Though why are you running it unsynced?
@fresh lodge So that I can skip cutscenes 😛
wintry chasm
Wanted some way to skip the cutscenes since this is his second time through MSQ Meara
fresh lodge
Ahhh
small trout
So would I only be able to do that if I was running it completely solo?
fresh lodge
No but don't do it with randoms in the party
small trout
Oh yea, would be doing it unsynced with a friend

So uh, guys. I've never enabled a OTP in my SE account
And my first time opening the launcher for XIV
It's asking me to input a OTP
I didn't get any password in the email or nothing
stray saffron
leave blank
stray saffron
then you mistyped your regular password.
if you haven't specifically set up a physical authenticator or gone out of your way to add the phone app to your account, you just leave OTP blank
make sure there isn't an extra space or something in the username field
wintry chasm
^
leaden ginkgo
Tried again
wintry chasm
If you don't have OTP you just leave that bit blank
leaden ginkgo
Not working
wintry chasm
Screenshot
stray saffron
you're mistyping then, that's literally the only possibility lol
you know your service account and your SE store account are separate
make sure you're typing the right password
stray saffron
yes
leaden ginkgo
And isn't the password for that the same?
If so
I'm typing the exact same password
stray saffron
the username you use to log into mog station
stray saffron
do you even have a service account?
wintry chasm
^
leaden ginkgo
This is my first account on the square Enix store
stray saffron
because you have to make one before you can log in
junior yacht
oh dear
wintry chasm
Not square enix store account
stray saffron
you know your service account and your SE store account are separate
leaden ginkgo
Welp
I see the problem
Do I just go back from the launcher and create new account through it?
leaden ginkgo
Thank you!
unkempt marsh
Hey--- is there any job by lv80 that would want more than 3 hotbars for combat? In other words, a job with more than 36 job-specific actions + role actions. I'm asking because I've got a wildly inefficient hotbar setup and would like to use Hotbar #4 elsewhere 👀
unkempt marsh
I've got different binds for them, that's not the issue
but it would become a problem if I got a 37th skill on anything, because then there would be nowhere to put it
unkempt marsh
Sweet, thanks
leaden ginkgo
Will hitting lvl 70 on warrior remove road to 70 buff in other classes?
twilit arch
nope
so long as you're within your 90 day window/your server is still preferred, the buff will reappear when you switch to a lower level job
leaden ginkgo
Nice :) ty!
is it a thing that you get fantasia for free as new person when u play character at some point? xD I keep hearing that in videos lol
gloomy ice
Once you clear the second level 50 dungeon in the main story, you get one for free upon turning in the quest.
leaden ginkgo
thank u veri mush
dusky nebula
i have two questions, 1. the best world to play in? and 2. now i did the quest "Close to home" and to do the next quest i need to be lvl 4. but i don't really know anything, since i just started.
i found the answer to my first question-
gloomy ice
For new players, a server with preferred status is probably best. "Best" overall is highly subjective. Now that you need to hit level 4, pick up a few of the side quests around town and also go out into the field and kill some mobs.
dusky nebula
so only the second question is to be answered
but which side quests there are so many NPC
gloomy ice
Any will do. They're all really simple.
green grail
any really
dusky nebula
ok, thank you guys
stray saffron
little late on this, paladin and gunbreaker both have 3 full bars
zinc orbitBOT
vernal orchid
with the patch not far off, should i hoard as many Phantasmagoria as possible, or burn through them before the patch?
raven sage
There's not much reason to hoarde
stray saffron
it doesn't matter - the prices should be the same before and after
raven sage
They'll be uncapped so getting more won't anywhere near as annoying
stray saffron
what you might want to consider is capping your goetia real quick before patch day - 2000 goetia will equal a free 500 phanta
raw solstice
the only consideration towards possibly saving phanta tomes, is if you might want to purchase tome mats in 5.2, to sell or to put towards some crafted gear
vernal orchid
thanks for the tips!
rough anchor
Am I right in guessing that “a litany of piece” is something at the tail end of heavensward? I need to have it completed to get my next GNB quest to eventually get continuation
little swift
Litany of peace is patch 3.3 iirc
Somewhere about halfway through the post expac release quests
raw solstice
yeah looks like it's 3.3, indeed
harsh moat
i just got lvl 30 on glad how can i become a dark knight?
golden agate
You have to finish the vanilla MSQ first for dark knight, but you can become a paladin now
dusky nebula
so what is the difference between FFXIV Complete edition and FFXIV shadowbringers
tawny canopy
complete is everything
raw solstice
complete edition includes both the base game (A Realm Reborn, often shortened ARR) and the most recent expansion (shadowbringers, which includes the other expansion as well)
raw solstice
if you don't already have the base game, you need the base game
golden agate
So you either buy ARR + shadowbringers, or get the complete edition
dusky nebula
so do i buy the Shadowbringers or the complete edition
raw solstice
if you don't have ARR, complete edition
golden agate
Do you own the base game?
raw solstice
if you have ARR, then just shadowbringers
tawny canopy
if you don't know just go with the free trial first to see if you like it
if you want to go all in then get the complete edition
dusky nebula
no i mean like, they offer different things right? so that means if you don't get everything you can't play the other content? or how does it work
raw solstice
yeah, start with the free trial to begin with, it has various restrictions including a level cap of 35.
After this is the base game, A Realm Reborn, which removes various restrictions and gives you up to level 50 content (and caps you at 50)
Following this is Stormblood, which includes all other expansions and raises the level cap to 80, along with a bunch of additional MSQ and such added in previous expansions (Heavensward, Stormblood)
if you only have ARR, you're capped at level 50 and can't do any expansion stuff past that
dusky nebula
so i do have to get stormblood then
raw solstice
on the other hand, up to that point you don't really gain any benefit from having shadowbringers
gloomy ice
Well, Shadowbringers includes Heavensward and Stormblood. No need for a separate purchase.
raw solstice
you cannot play shadowbringers (or other expansions) standalone, either to note. Any purchase of the game requires ARR at least
tawny canopy
if you want to be able to be other races than the default ones
you'll need the expansions
raw solstice
whether it be separate, then you buy shadowbringers. Or you just get the complete edition
manic oasis
Doesn’t the base game have the previous expansions?
raw solstice
no
manic oasis
Except ShB
raw solstice
expansions are grouped in the most recent expansion
tawny canopy
if you want to experience being other classes like samurai/redmage/dancer/gunbreaker you'll need the expasions
manic oasis
Ohh ok
raw solstice
so you have ARR on its own. Then you have ShB which has HW and SB
dusky nebula
okay so basically i need to have the base game, and ARR and from there i either buy stormblood or shadowbringers or just buy them both?
raw solstice
you cannot buy stormblood
tawny canopy
you can't buy stormblood
raw solstice
stormblood comes with shadowbringers
manic oasis
U cannot buy stormblood
raw solstice
and ARR is the base game
tawny canopy
we're assuming you don't have anything right?
dusky nebula
no i don't
tawny canopy
if you don't have anything then just get the complete edition
manic oasis
Yeee
dusky nebula
i am playing the free trial
manic oasis
It gives u free 30 days after u buy it too
raw solstice
complete edition if you want all the expansions, ARR if you just want the game to see first (then you later buy shadowbringers if you want the other expansions)
tawny canopy
ok then yeah if you want to continue and you like it just get complete
gloomy ice
Starter Edition = base game = ARR/A Realm Reborn/2.0. Shadowbringers = all three expansions. Complete Edition = everything.
manic oasis
Is dragoon getting a nerf in 5.2
dusky nebula
okay so basically you buy the base game. and then shadowbringers that includes all three expansions. but if i want to i can just buy the complete edition.
tawny canopy
we won't know any specific job adjustments until the patch notes
manic oasis
Oh okay
golden agate
Get the free trial. If you like the game once you reach level 35 buy the complete edition. that’s it.
manic oasis
Yeap
dusky nebula
sounds easy lmao
manic oasis
Cheque Jericho use the free trial till 35 then buy the game, so u can use the trial to its max
dusky nebula
ye
golden agate
You can trial every class on one character, too
dusky nebula
oh so the jobs are they expansion locked?
manic oasis
Except the ones that get unlocked later
golden agate
6 of the jobs are expansion locked, the rest are available
manic oasis
Yes some jobs are locked behind expansions
dusky nebula
okay i will play the Free Trial and will see from there
golden agate
You’ll have plenty of options to try without the expansion classes, and the expansion classes start out at a minimum level of 30
So you don’t have to redo 1-30
(Some classes start at 50 or even 60)
gloomy ice
Dark Knight, Astrologian, and Machinist require story progress to unlock. Samurai, Red Mage, Gunbreaker, and Dancer require only that you meet the level requirement.
dusky nebula
Samurai is the reason why i want to play the game
raw solstice
then you might be interested in hopping in on getting the complete edition when you feel like moving on past the free trial
dusky nebula
okay so one last question. on steam you can buy the game with Shadowbringers, lets say i do that. what do i miss
the other expansions right?
but in terms of content
like
junior yacht
no
junior yacht
the most recent expac comes bundled with previous expacs
raw solstice
you have the base game (ARR), and you have shadowbringers (which includes heavensward and stormblood)
and complete edition is just ARR + ShB (aka base game and all expansions)
dusky nebula
ok
golden agate
You can never skip expansions, they follow a linear progression
dusky nebula
it is actually cheaper on steam lmao
dusky nebula
what cons does that bring
junior yacht
if Steam ever dies, you'll have to buy the game again
tawny canopy
in the past they didn't make any physical limited editions of the expansions for steam users
dusky nebula
Steam won't die lmao
but the game can be removed
is the physical limited edition that good?
tawny canopy
depends if you like the goodies included
dusky nebula
collectors editions right?
tawny canopy
thing is if you want to switch from steam to the regular pc edition you will not be able to use the same square enix account
and that means you can't use the same character anymore
dusky nebula
even if they are connected?
tawny canopy
you would have to start over
you can only have one or the other
either you get steam version or you get pc version
dusky nebula
by the way how does the subscription work, can i cancel it?
tawny canopy
you can cancel a sub at any time
you don't get a prorated money back or anything like that tho
dusky nebula
but they still take money right
tawny canopy
yes you still have to pay
raw solstice
you can buy sub time in 30 day chunks (or 90, or 180 days). You can cancel a sub, but the bought time just keeps running down, you can't pause the timer
it just stops from re-upping when your sub would run out, when you cancel a sub
dusky nebula
its because in the summer i won't be able to play
so i have to cancel it if i ever purchase it
raw solstice
yeah just go month to month and cancel your subscription for summer months
then you can start it back up after the summer
make sure to cancel subscription, not service account. Since the latter just wipes your character and everything entirely
mortal root
in the last copied factory fight with 9s, when he goes into his aerial bombing thing whats the sequence/directions he goes in?
dusky nebula
okay so i want it to be canceled before june, like in May, when should i cancel it
dusky nebula
do i cancel it in April?
mortal root
i see her the first time but the next time he goes into the form i dont see where she jumps to
dusky nebula
and 30 days cost 10$ right?
tawny canopy
you should just buy time cards and just enter them as you need them
that's why you should mark her with a triangle or something
raw solstice
!faq subprice
zinc orbitBOT
dusky nebula
thank you, i will buy it from steam
stray saffron
@mortal root target her or put a marker on her head
also, if you stand at the 1/3 and 2/3 marks, you can just take a step back or forth to avoid the bombs
it shows you the order the bombs will fall right before they start
as long as you're not way out in the middle of nowhere or right next to where the carpet bombs start from, you have tons of time to step out and back in
leaden ginkgo
Hey, does anyone know what this kind of targeting is called in the options? I play with a PS4 controller on PC and I keep accidentally targeting like this when I push my left joystick in :C
gloomy ice
Target lock. You can remap your stick press to prevent that from happening.
leaden ginkgo
Thank you! Didn't know the name of it.

Go to System > System Config > Gamepad Settings > Button Config to remap it.

Is it possible to try out some classes at higher levels before deciding on a class? I'm between bard and summoner and I want to figure out which class would be easier to play and would do more damage before I start leveling them
Kind of like the WoW class trials

in potd u can test them out at lvl60 on floor51+
slate arrow
@final phoenix you can try the level 60 version of the class/job in Palace of the Dead

Most collaboration events are eventually re-ran sometimes

@zell that should be a weekly quest

So as a new player ; how would it work if I wanted to level up a class to like a high level; could I then go back and level a different class at the starting area again?
gloomy ice
You simply unlock the new class on your current character. You then just switch weapons and you're back at level one with that weapon.
hot eagle
u can lvl all classes/jobs on 1 character so no problems with it
robust osprey
But to level up I mean - could I go back to a lower level area?
open coral
You would have to
robust osprey
Or would I be too strong for it?
hot eagle
u aren't locked out of low lvl areas
open coral
Each new job from the original ARR jobs (plus ROG) starts at level 1
So you have to start from low level areas regardless of the level of any other jobs you have
robust osprey
And is health, etc reset back to a low level? Effectively I wanted to level up as one class with a friend, and one on my own solo wise
And is it a different starting area or always the same?
open coral
Everything is set to the level of your current job and gear
gloomy ice
Class stats are tracked separately, yeah.
open coral
You won't be able to do the MSQ stuff, but anything involving killing mobs or doing dungeons you could do at the same level as your friend
robust osprey
What about side quests?
open coral
Keep in mind also that dungeons will sync your level down to the maximum level for that instance unless you specifically tell the game not to do that.
stray saffron
the levels of your high-level jobs have no effect on the levels of your low-level job; you don't get a power boost for having another job leveled
open coral
Any side quest you haven't completed, you'll obviously be able to do with any job you want.
robust osprey
Can I complete the same side quest on different classes?
open coral
No
stray saffron
if you're on a job that's level 1, your character is, for all purposes, level 1 until you swap to a different job
open coral
Quests are one-off unless specifically marked as repeatable 
stray saffron
you don't really want to level with side quests anyway. there are tons of better and more repeatable leveling methods
robust osprey
Okay; so what would be the best way to have one class solo and with a friend. A different character? Just grinding mobs?
stray saffron
1-15 you do the hunting log and same-level fates in low level zones
robust osprey
Or is there enough quests; sorry I come from Wow so this all somewhat confusing 😛
open coral
Hunt logs and leve quests to level 16, then dungeon spam afterwards
stray saffron
you don't level with side quests in this game. they are Garbage in an xp/hr sense
open coral
In terms of quests, it's no different than WoW
obsidian patio
(Mob grinding is also one of the worst forms of experience)
robust osprey
Okay; I guess I'll just have to play around with it some. Can you do main quests together as well?
If you are on the same line as them
stray saffron
you can do them side-by-side, but there's not really anything you can do together
open coral
Some of them, yes. However there are some that you have to be solo for.
There are a few mob killing or objective clearing quests, but you'll each have to get credit for the objective clears separately
stray saffron
go here; kill this; talk to this person. that's most of what you do in the MSQ. you'll also be partying up and down a lot because there are instances you have to do solo, like WoW's scenarios
robust osprey
Mmm got it; okay. I'm just used to questing with a person in wow and like killing X mobs, etc.
stray saffron
the best way to do it is to jump in voice or whatever with the person and do things separately side by side
there's vastly, vastly less of that "go to this enemy camp, kill 50 things, pick up 12 things" kind of thing in this game vs. WoW
open coral
While there are some quests like that, FFXIV is much more story-oriented than WoW.
The focus is on telling a comprehensive story with us as the central character than just being a murderhobo.
robust osprey
So most of the group play is in the form of dungeons?
gloomy ice
Dungeons and raids, yeah.
stray saffron
yeah, there is quite a bit of group content
robust osprey
But during the leveling experience; its mostly seperate?
stray saffron
correct
robust osprey
Sorry I don't mean to be confusing 😦
open coral
Nah, we're used to it 😄
stray saffron
the first dungeon is at level 15, then you get about a dungeon every 2-4 levels from there basically clear through to level 80. most things in between, main story-wise, are solo only.
robust osprey
Lots of different things ; even compared to Wow, BDO, Archeage, etc. Has my head in a wobble lol
open coral
Think of it as a single player game that has incidental MMO content.
gloomy ice
Dungeons are the best source of exp outside of the main story though and those can be grouped
open coral
XIV is still a Final Fantasy franchise game at heart.
robust osprey
I see; I'm just used to MMOs being like group based I guess; at least with Wow and Archeage
Thanks for the help 🙂
stray saffron
is that the room with the two stone heads?
you have to kill them on top of the buttons
stray saffron
stand on a glowing button when you get doom
remote lintel
what do you mean get down
zinc orbitBOT
remote lintel
????
open coral
The boss will do a room-wide ability and a black-and-purple debuff (Doom) will appear on all players.
Everyone has to go to whichever plate has the orange glow in order to clear their debuff.
Just as a caution, the glowing plate will sometimes change as you step onto it, so make sure your debuff is cleared before you go back to killing the boss as usual.
rough anchor
As a healer, should I have offensive spells on normal numbers and healing on shift+numbers, or the other way around?
timber fossil
i would say attack on normal numbers
open coral
You should have healing spells in your most accessible locations.
timber fossil
you'll be casting attack spells more often
open coral
Since your primary job as a healer is to heal.
rough anchor
timber fossil
lol
open coral
You could also set up two different bind sets - one to use in instances/party situations, and one to use when you're soloing
timber fossil
my rational is i don't want to get arthritis by constantly casting with modifier
open coral
I mean, I play WHM on PS4, so I use the crossbar setup... and I only actually have like, 3 main use offensive spells
But I still put the majority of my healing in my easiest to use bind slots
timber fossil
basically, i personally put the spells i used the most often on the most accessible hotkeys
open coral
So @rough anchor the answer is effectively "Do what feels most comfortable to you"
timber fossil
and healer only has 1 spammable attack and 1 dot to be used every 30 seconds
rough anchor
There are less damage than healing spells for healers, right? Then guess I’ll put healing in the normal slots and longer CD buffs in shift 2-6
timber fossil
you'll have plenty of spaces
open coral
There's not actually a "right" or "wrong" way to set up your bars, as long as you know which spells are where, and can use them at appropriate times.
WHM has a grand total of for offensive spells.
Dia, Glare, Afflatus Misery, and Holy
obsidian patio
5 if you count assize
rough anchor
Well I picked AST first since it starts at lvl non-1
open coral
I count Assize as a heal
rough anchor
And I’m a lazy bum
slate arrow
AST only has 3 offensive attacks
obsidian patio
I almost always use Assize for the damage and MP rather than the heal unless you can make it do both healing and damage without holding onto it
timber fossil
Assize should be casted on CD, but that's a 45 second CD. no need to put that on a accessible place
open coral
AST has... what, Broil, Gravity, and... the star thing, what's it called...
slate arrow
malefic, combust, and gravity
timber fossil
Broil is SCH
slate arrow
broil is SCH
open coral
I played AST and SCH long enough to get them to 80
I don't know what their spells are lol
rough anchor
How many heal abilities does ast have
open coral
Doesn't AST also have uh, heavy planet or something?
I don't remember the actual name
The one that explodes in a field of stars and does healing/damage?
obsidian patio
!action earthly star
slate arrow
earthly star
zinc orbitBOT
Powered by XIVAPI
open coral
That's the one
timber fossil
@rough anchor it's kinda hard to classify. some abilities have multiple usage.
obsidian patio
timber fossil
some amplifies your heal, some also do damage,
obsidian patio
If you want to take a look at all the job actions
rough anchor
Oh well, guess I’ll just rearrange my bars as I go
open coral
Yeah, like we were just discussing the WHM ability Assize, which does damage, but is also a high-potency AoE heal
Like I said, just make sure your bar setup is comfortable for you
We can give suggestions, but ultimately you're the one playing with the setup
flat aspen

hi there, I have the game on steam, I'd like to move it from my HDD to my SSD, but the usual option in the game's properties isn't there, do I just move the folder to my SSD and steam / the ffxiv launcher will just ask me to locate it ?
slate arrow
probably
cause the steam launcher is just that a launcher
the game installs like the regular PC version otherwise
timber fossil
had a guy on here that the launcher just re-downloaded the whole game after moving the folder.
not sure what exactly what he did

Has anyone tried fighting ADS in BCoB Turn 2 by killing all the sub nodes first before facing off with ADS? Does he still summon the Quarantine Node which causes Allagan Rot?
obsidian patio
IIRC, ADS learns the abilities of the nodes you kill.
And throughout the fight he eventually grabs the abilities of the ones you don’t kill.
Also for each one you kill he gained a resistance buff to a damage type, like piercing, slashing, and magical.

L2 Face Button: Hyper Charge, Heatblast, Ricochet, Gauss Round
L2 Dpad: AOE stuff
Additonal: Turret stuff
DRK I won't share because my setup is kinda awkward, and tbh I am not too happy about it
Only setup recommendations I have for DRK are:
Main combo + Blood spiller should be on Face Button.
Delirium, Blood Weapon, The Blackest Night, Flood/Edge of Shadow (upgraded Flood/Edge of Darkness) should be very easy to press, either they should go on Face Button or Dpad is up to you
Then adjust everything else around them
That's it, @nocturne jetty i hoped that you get good references from my setup
warped nest
The underlying principle are still valid though
nocturne jetty
yeah i getcha
warped nest
Main combo should be accessible while moving
So stuff you press very very often goes on Face Button, unless you want to claw it
Another recommendation I'd like to make: use a standard hotbar, and place your important cooldown skills there and use it as a cooldown tracking hud (there is an display option to hide unused hotbar slots)

One question about the Subscription Cards. If i buy a 60 days subscription card. and then the 60 days are over and the subscription runs out, they won’t take any money from me after right? if I want to keep playing I will need to buy a new card or something like that.

pretty sure not, unless you have a recurring subscription set up
dusky nebula
So basically the best way is to purchase the cards from the website or retailers
if you want to cancel it. But ofc if you can pay 15€. A month shouldn’t be a problem
Even if you are not playing

You can also pay for Crysta on the square enix account store. you can use that to pay for subscription and optional items and they'll only use it up for sub if you have enough banked up

im a returning player, is there a HoH equivalent for leveling from 70 - 80 ;_;

not yet
you can use Trusts for leveling up, which is running the dungeons with NPCs from the story
@rugged flicker I think the breeding licenses you can buy can have different colors? Pretty sure you can't manually adjust their colors so it's pretty much up to chance

Anyone have a theory for what it might be in 5.0?
Thinking it might be something in Amaurot.

My only real guess for it would be something related to Ronka, nothing else really screams "super big unexplored place"

I play PS4 so idk
...though I guess there is going to the PS4 menu, but i never do that

ahh ok, i noticed if i stayed in cutscenes, i load faster than most players, if i alt tab out, i load the slowest.. was wondering if it was a settings issue :/

so I set up macros to give me sound notifications using the /echo command but for some reason when I'm in the middle of combat it sometimes doesn't go off
obsidian patio
what's the macro as a whole?
fierce cedar
/macroicon "air anchor"
/action "air anchor"
/wait 40.0
/echo Air Anchor Ready! <se.3>
obsidian patio
take out the .0 it does nothing
fierce cedar
got rid of it

Also I do not recommend putting GCD abilities in macros
