So 12345
Alliance is added on odd numbers
Raid and Savage Raid are on even, except for the first tier, I am told that they are added a few weeks after 0, so players can take their time to enjoy the story
Is there no way to get more than a single grade 3 [area] topsoil from a single node

@obsidian patio Thank you sir. Will look into them. I am basically making a macro for the animal healers who hot me when pulling mobs in a dungeon
😄
Ishgard restoratuon grants diff kinda scrips, yes?
yes
@green grail A primal, in general, like Ruby Weapon this patch.
Hades was the 5.1 EX trial
Is there an estimate as to how many turn ins do you need to get from one level to another?
in the pins #doh-dol-lounge
http://puu.sh/FeY97/7c836ed928.png what are the "allowances"? 100?
hey guys can you login via steam? i always get an error message when i try to start the launcher
hm, not entirely sure on that. hopefully @tender estuary isn't asleep but if he is, maybe someone else can help, sorry
man shouldnt have bought it on steam but i never had problems before :/
so completed my last alchemist quest in mor dhona where do i get my next set of class quests?
should be in ul'dah at the alchemist's guild
lol that's the only place i didn't check i thoguht since they sent me to mor dhona i wouldnt go back there
@wise nexus Under your MSQ guide, the game should always display the next class quest if it's available. Clicking on it will bring up the map of the pickup point, or the next objective if it's already accepted.
hm after i completed the last alchemist quest in mor dhona i didn't see anything 😦

Huh.
fair
dandy: try going back to alc guild (presumably for stormblood job quest start)
Does anyone here have an eu account but lives in SEA?
I'm registering my account with a German address but worried i wont be able to buy mog station stuff with my filthy sea mexican money
I live in SEA but i have an NA account playing in EU.
Whoah
My billing address is 123 beverly hills.
Whats the ping like
It worked when i bought shadowbringers tho.
Hmmm maybe i can just buy eu crysta cards.. do those exist
You can buy crystas using paypal
Ok that sounds good. Thank you
Crysta cards don't exist as far as I know.
Thanks SE for not acknowledging the existence of some countries too 🤷♂️
Wat
But not for shadowbringers.
Yea
SEA.finalfantasy
Its gone tho cant find it anymore.
I bought stormblood from there couple years ago.
It was in SGD too so kinda amazed.

Damn thats pretty wack
BiS food for SAM?
Either Stuffed Highland Cabbage (Crit/Det) or Sausage and Sauerkraut (Crit/SkS) depending on if you need Skill Speed
What about WAR?
same thing for them and the other tanks IIRC
The balance discord should have their 5.2 BiS links in the job resource channels
Would it be stupid to have more than 1 main job?
But, the grind for gear will be much longer...
focus one job first and gear up your second job with books or tomestone gear
Simultaneously?
with a static yes
Static?
term carried over from WoW afaik /shrug
Ah
You don't have more than 1 main job if its outside of the role
You could main BLM/SMN/RDN
I main as DRG
But you can't main BLM and DRG
Why
well you shouldn't is the key word
Inefficient?
Because they don't share gear
So you'll be wasting time splitting gear drops between the two
I was just thinking main one job from each role
1 dps 1 tank 1 healer
Also it goes against the definition of "main"

otherwise you're stretching your drops thin until the loot is unlocked in 5.3
Is this entire expansion gonna be Nier themed for the welfare raids?
I see
Yes
Thanks guys
think it's the spring set from fashion report boutique?
at least the bottoms
not sure about the top
so I tried out NIN and MNK to 80, and I like MNK because there are a lot of things to do all the time but I hate maintaining GL, which other job is similar to it?
no
all jobs are unique in terms of mechanics and playstyle
no other job has MNKs stance system
you might consider SAM, since it does have a similar fast playstyle
since it basically always has a SKS up buff
mnk is also the only one that really does a lot of positionals anymore
believe the other melee dps only got it in their combo finishers
MNK is the only job where all it's weaponskills have positionals
and drg in their 2 skills beyond the base finishers
NIN has 2 positionals, 3 if you count TA
SAM has 2
DRG only has 1, 3 if you count wheeling thrust and the other one
well you use those other 2 a lot
yeah fair enough but it's not bad since a lot of bosses have a solid targeting circle this expac anyways
ohyea
unrelated
but i'm thinking about leveling my mch soonish
he's 60 but i didn't touch him since stormblood
what do you need help with i mained MCH last raid tier
what are the main things i need to line up and worry about for 1v1 and aoe?
to get him to 80
single target: line up drill with reassemble, every 3 drills should get one reassemble
otherwise use everything on cooldown unless it'll clip Hot Shot (turns into Air Anchor) or drill
(namely, don't use hypercharge if it'll clip drill or air anchor)
and use your turret on 50 battery since there's not much of a reason to save it unless the boss is about to poof
ah okay
was wondering about battery management too
rook overload is the skill the turret uses as you use overdrive?
or automaitcally once timer ends
AoE: Spread Shot is your Filler, Replace Drill with Bioblaster at 72, you can ignore Wildfire if you're lazy, Flamethrower if it's on cooldown, Hypercharge into Auto Crossbow
Overload automatically triggers itself when the turret expires so you don't have to worry about it
only whenever the enemy is about to die anyway
yeah
do i reassemble bio?
no
So I have a dumb question
alright
I’m just coming back to the game and I don’t really remember what I should be running for gear. I’m level 70 and I’m at like 340ish for gear score.
Hi everyone!
So, I have a question
My sub is about to run out in like 3 or 4 days, my question is, do I get any added bonuses for resubbing before it runs out? Or it doesn't matter if I only resub in 2 weeks, for example?
doesn't matter
veteran rewards apply for total days subbed
try and get tomestone gear if you can
Thank you!
not consecutive days subbed
Should I just be gearing up to run alphascape with my FC?
you can use poetics on 390 gear
nah just buy yourself the 390 scaevan gear from the poetic tomestone vendor
heyheyhey spoilers m8
the ehm
I’m just into the end of stormblood.
once you finish the quest Stormblood
haul your ass to Rhalgr's Reach, go to the vendors near the aetheryte, far left one on the wall
So I’m about where I should be?
make sure you pick DoW/DoM II for Scaevan gear
Or am I pretty far behind at this point
did you beat the base stormblood msq yet?
are you in the third Gyr Abania zone?
I have like 6-7 quests left
just work on the MSQ then
I don't think the tomestone vendors are MSQ unlocked at this point in time anyways
340 is way more than enough, the 70 job quest gives a set of 290
if you're really afraid of being undergeared just ask a friend to make you some 380 crafted gear
(unless you don't have any crafter friends)
(feelsbadman)
So there isn’t a point to running alphascape on savage? I should just move onto shadowbringers
not really
most people who run it nowdays do it unsynced since even at level 80 it's still hard as balls
Ah
unless you want to as a personal goal i'd just skip it for now
also i think alphascape savage is in the weird useless gear zone at the moment since due to Ultimate stat syncs so you can't use it effectively in ultimate anyways
(unless you really want the savage pieces for the glam)
is BRD still the go-to for raid buffs/utility?
!faq meta
hey guys, is there a macro that lets you auto target the next mob in sight without having to button press anything or click, when my original target is dead?
bard had some party use restored but voice doesn't do much for party dps. dancer has more usable utility
no
is that "no" to my question?
yes
nuuuu
i mean when the trash i have targeted has died, i dont want to button press to target another mob
yes (there's no auto targeting the next hostile thing. best thing would be reduce the targeting filer so it doesn't point at non monster objects while weapon is out)
i recommend rebinding tab to target nearest hostile mob and just getting in the habit of mashing it when something is almost dead
ty, i am new to FFXIV so just gotta get used to things
im trying to level my mining but im new to this. i read that i should do levequests, so im trying to and its putting these green circles on my map to mine in, but when i go to those spots, there is nothing to mine
you have to initiate the levequest through your journal
Is the Shire/Aug Shire set the best set of Heavensward?
Yes, that you can feasibly get now
Best of the best includes pieces from the savage raid
But that's a lot of work for how soon you'll exchange it
Okies, it’s a shame it’s so... unspectacular :/
The Hellfire set looks nice though, is it hard to get?
Poetics then? Yeah but it’s nice glamour 😛
Awesome, thanks!
Think the msq gives you hellfire as well as some gear to tide you over in the post patch stuff
I remember getting the hellfire accessories at least
Does the current welfare raid still have an item lockout?
Copied factory? No
All right hanks.
I’m pretty new to the game and play SCH. Can someone explain how DRK Living Dead works? At what point in time do you start healing them?
when their living dead buff turns into walking dead/black and white icon
except walking dead is the 10s invuln, which disappears once they recieve healing equal to their max hp
so if you heal them too early and they want to like, invuln a longer mechanic then you can get rid of their invuln and kill them
Ok I’m apparently blind and/or illiterate lol. Was super confused because I didn’t realize there were two separate things (Living Dead and Walking Dead)
Thanks for breaking it down
does all beat tribes quest give exp for battlecraft? ( i start unlock now someone for level my 2nd and 3rd class)
Not all of them, ixal, moogle are crafters, namazu are crafters and gatherers and qitiri are gatherers
I have a living dead macro that lets the healer know in chat but it can be kind of funny sometimes lol
Do you guys have macros for invuln skills?
I have yet to not die after popping it
Only DRK’s
And even then I’m considering scrapping it
Because it hasn’t actually made a difference to me
usually just ends up as chat spam
Tbh, I've not been in a situation where I've been successfully saved from living dead.
cause who presses their invuln just once
I usually splat
Yeah I haven’t been saved from living dead yet in my time leveling DRK
Somewhat frustrating
I dont recall ever being saved out of it
But when I do pop it it’s usually in a situation where I either have a bad healer or I’m being a bad tank so it’s kind of inevitable I guess
Yeah I kept screwing up because I started healing once Living Dead was up, not once Walking Dead was triggered. I now see why all the DRK were frustrated
Problem is no healer is going to read a macro that has more explicit instructions lol
are any of the green fishes from ocean fishing worth anything? or can i just vendor them?
None of them are
thanks!
Desynth, throw it or whatever
Only reason to keep them is to put them on your wall in your house
About gaze, is pressing S to look back enough to avoid it?
Or I need to turn the camera away too

just so your character isn't facing it
It's character position not camera position
Do I need to stop attacking?
I have a question about an encounter but it could be a spoiler so idk where I'd post that
Nope, just face away when the cast goes off
Seems like just pressing S is enough then...
Put it in spoiler tags
^
You can do || on both sides of text to spoiler tag
2 on each side so like
||hi
hi||
So in ||E8N|| how do you deal with the part where she casts ||Redress|| while the ground is covered in ice? Do you just eat the stun?
so dps targeting in the game works as with hard targeting with tab (mainly on boss and add) and then soft targeting any low health trash etc? is this all i should be concerned with targeting as dps?
She doesn't stun when casting that
The stun can be really nasty Grein, just turn around just a second before the eye is cast and keep attacking after
No but I can't turn around otherwise I fly off the platform
She casts Redress and then uses a "don't look at me" mechanic right after
lmao
Is this with ice?
Just slide to the side with more area
Oh my bad
If you're south, slide north
You could slide through her and then back after she casts it
Yeah if you have to slide I'd just slide, it beats getting stunned any day
Oh that could work
where do you exchange your phantasmagoria and your allegory currency? i found where you can turn in just the phantasmagoria into the weird green rain potions
In normal you dont move that far
or you have to wait for the ice to disappear then turn
In Eulmore
^
i don't remember having issues with look away + ice
If you have any goetia tomestones they can be made into phanta tomestones in Mor Dhona
If you're on KBM, just right click and turn around
Maybe it's because we were slow so it was doubling up mechanics
Our healers weren't great so we had 2 dps dead for like 5 minutes
so you spend allegory on the little letters and the phantasma on the rain potion to get your weapon?
otherwise use allegory and phantasma getting your armor and accessories
For the allegory weapon, you need 1k allegory to buy the 10 tokens and 7 blades from e8n to buy the tome (or loot from e6s)
The rain potion is for upgrading the 450 crafred gear
Is there any better food than Matcha? that gives both CP and Control
so
should you just get decked out first in armor and accessories before stocking for weapon?
It takea about 3 weeks to get 1k allegory for the weapon (since you can only get 450 a week) so you can spend the first 4 weeks of allegory on other gear before saving to buy the weapon immediately week 7
(if you're not doing savage anyway)
what is savage lol
Harder versions of the fights
@leaden ginkgo right-click and drag works as well if you have that option in settings, it’ll drag your character around with the camera (as opposed to a left-drag which is just the camera)
With the strongest gear rewards and upgrades for allegory gear early
@quartz shale guessing that's only with standard controls? I'm on legacy
Probably
I don't remember it comboing both of those together
at least, a gaze version of that attack
It does, iirc
well the way you can usually mimic the right click and turn away with legacy is with using both strafe keys, but that usually incurs some slight movement when you press them first and it would slide you, in that case
the second best thing you can do is probably just move through boss
First cast is normal iirc, and the second or third has the slippery floor
hmm, really don't remember that, but whatever haha
can answer how you'd handle it whether it happens or not
Yea, if you cant camera-turn, next best is slide through when it’s iced over
I do want to mention that it's not a look-away mechanic every time that cast happens, though
I think they confused the look away redress with the ice redress
Because it never does that together
yeah that's what I'm thinking
E5s is it a problem if you have 1 stack of surge protection at non-fury knockback+ixiom charge?
i'm sorry i am not familiar with targeting in FFXIV since i just joined. As a dps, how do i deal with a boss and a add that spawns? Do i hard target the boss and soft target the add?
@ sobi if 1 boss 1 add, usually kill add, back to dpsing the boss
Its not, i always take an orb and am fine for weak knockback
but i would need to know the status effects and hp of boss. if i soft target, i wouldnt be able to see that?
on pc where is the option?
@fallen chasm There are a few ways depending on whether your solo or in a group. If you're solo, common understanding is to simply AoE the adds while trying to kill the boss faster than you die. If in group content, usually you'll want to switch to the adds and burn them down before returning to focusing the boss (AoE can also be used to make this process faster).
ARR dungeons follow very simple principles so you can probably get away with just a baseline "kill adds then go back to boss" mindset
It gets more complicated as you go along ofc
As for being able to see the boss HP when targeting another mob, at the left side of your screen (default) just under the party list, there will be a list of all adds with which you are currently in combat. This includes the boss.
What, other than internet issue which I'm hoping not cause its impossible to fix, could cause;
Pixel: stand before line for huge knockback with the group
Pixel: got knockbacked and character rolled on the ground, not the front most character
Pixel: just as about to go up, the ixion add charges and pixel got dragged all the way sideway and dies while the rest, including the one that roll in front, is safe
I'm confused. What's the issue you think you're having?
I cannot parse this at all
Thank you, i am from another MMO where combat is pretty simple so all of this was new to me.
@fallen chasm Combat in XIV is pretty straightfoward too. You'll pick up more nuance over time, as with any other game, but in its most basic form it shouldn't be significantly different than any other video game.
@rare sable It sounds like you experienced the mechanic in E5 exactly as it's meant to be experienced. Which is why I'm confused as to the problem you think you're having.
For the center knockback, everyone gets knocked back and rolls on the ground. For the add knockbacks, if you're in line with one of them, you get knocked off the platform.
did you stand still after the knockback?
I cant move even if I try cause animation lock
You can move between the end of the animation lock and the add charge though.
if you dash asap you get hit by the ixions i heard
yeah that's what I'm referring to
on one of the knockbacks
yeah
Basically, yeah
well, for the first one. For the second one make sure you move to the side to get in the correct lane
^
Ironically, I never die during 2nd charge.... but my death rate on first charge is like, 1 in 5, and I was like "thats BS!"
Stupid question---using either macros or key binds, could I make it so when I press a button, I instantly target the ally with the lowest HP?
no
Ok thanks. ^__^
I'll just stick to having "R" target "The target of my target" and Shift+R "Target Focus Target".
If you want to target an ally... just click on their name in the party list?
it is yeah, can change the keybind for it just fine though

guys i do now a google sheet table for take progress of my mount in extremme
does The Minstrel's Ballad: Ultima's Bane and Thornmarch (Extreme) give me mounts?
i see on wiki but i dont see nothing
Nope
and its normal The Howling Eye (Extreme)
The Navel (Extreme)
The Bowl of Embers (Extreme) had possibile to give me 2 possible mount?
Yes, nightmare + their normal mount
Nightmare has a super low drop rate though.
ok ty
e5s, moving after the charge should be fine as long as you're not on the adds' path right?
can someone explain how i can get this item: General-purpose Pure White Dye ?
send retainer on quick venture and hope for good rng
@rare sable if you mean after the knockback, yes, but if the add isn't tethered to you, you're immune to it
um, I mean during the tribunal summon > knockback > ixion adds charge (very sorry about this but it's just.... so weird)
I do not... get it... @ ___ @
has this only happened the one time or more than once
during chain lightning on e5s, do u need lightning stack to pass ?
around 1 in 5 or so
no you don't need stacks during chain lightning
it lowers damage a bit and doesn't hurt since there's free orbs around there but you don't need them
sometimes i see people instant dead after pass ? why ?
got too close?
too close right ?
yeah
i see
the pass happens to the closest party member, so there's no need to get super close to them
you just have to be closer to them than anyone else
people forget this and sometimes nearly stack with who it's being passed to and kill them
cause I am, so, confused
unless the log record is wrong, then the rdm is already moving before I do, but I died
x___x ????
replay isn't always 100% accurate either, for the record
so apparently my game code worked when i typed on diff computer that has a diff internet provider, but the question is, how to cancel my support ticket?
is there a fee for false complain?
support should just close the support ticket
nah you won't get a fee or anything
not sure if there's a way to reply and cancel it
they'd only really have issue if you kept making false ticket after false ticket, I'd assume
I dunno about cancelling myself either, unfortunately/fortunately I haven't had to deal with support really
You can ask them to close the ticket.
@open coral that takes waaaaayyyy too much time to click names on the list..
@rare sable I'd just say like, just try staying around longer anyways after the knockback and see if that just resolves it--don't worry about reading too much into it from logs. The only failure point for the mechanic is not getting knocked back the right amount/from the right spot, or moving too soon to get hit by the charge (technically also taking a vuln stack from not having an orb for big knockback is a failure too but it won't kill you)
thank you very much rika! (sorry for being difficult but I just... urgh >_<)
no worries, I know how it can be frustrating
hugs! thank you TT__TT
@magic perch ... it's faster than trying to target-of-target them... and ToT isn't always going to be the ally with the lowest HP...
just try to isolate it like that, and if you still get hit after making sure to not move for a while after the knockback, then it's probably something regarding latency or something else. But hopefully just standing there resolves it for you
I pray so too >_< ./ebow ./ebow ./grovel
@open coral Truth, truth, I mainly use the toggle between ToT's when I am off-tanking. Gotta get that juicy Heart of Stone just dripping with succulent Brutal Shell over to that MT to make them hard(ened to incoming damage).
lol
There actually is a way to write a macro that will do that for you, since unless you changed the default order, you will always be 1 on your list, and the other tank (if you're tanking) will always be 2.
Does anyone know a discord dedicated to hunts like Ixion, Fox lady etc?
I forget the precise macro elements required to define "second player on the party list" as the target though.
<2> (ex: /ac Shirk <2> )
Oh, okay, yeah I don't think I've ever changed the order, so you'd be right.
Not a bad idea......=O
Basically, if your goal is to execute a specific action on a specific target in your party (as long as its a tank or healer, and you're either a tank or healer yourself), there's a macro for that.
should i just max out det for eden's verse drg accessories?
they only have on slot for meld and +60 det fits perfectly

can you buy a mount with company seals or anything like that? or just glamour and gear/weapons?
So I'm about to get back into FFXIV tommorow becuase I get paid so I can finally buy the complete online edition with all the dlc and the full version of the game. But I wonder if there's a playlist of videos I can watch to catch up on all the DLC had brought to the game?
@leaden ginkgo There's some stuff like emotes and housing items you can buy, as well as various materiel for crafting, and I think there's also a chobobo barding and a minion you can buy.
anyone know ff14mog.com its trust?
I am fairly sure that's not allowed and can get you banned...
Yeah, gotta pay a fortune for some sets 
Please don't buy from third party just to save like 2 bucks
With the mogstation selling sets for $18 it's pretty tempting, not going to lie...
But it's likely a scam
Most probably a scam
The only third party sites I buy games from are Amazon and Humble Bundle
GMG is awesome too. Off-topic: they're selling REmake 3 for -27%
Umm... How can I sand fish?
I have the bait for the quest but I can't find the fishing spots
The spots are usually places like cliffs that the game won't let you walk/jump off in the desert
But there's "sand" below that you can cast in to
For the fisher quest, I think the place is in the southeast part of the map
Wish I could just buy the turn ins...
The level 50 ones are way cheaper for some reason
after you complete the heavensward relic and get all the replicas you want for the glamour, what does the relic have usage for? can i trade it in to some1 like i did with the ARR relic or its just filling up bank space?
but the arr relic couldnt be put in the glamour chest this 1 you can?
just making sure, but i have to finish all the msq until i can change my lvl30 thm to a blm?
When you fully upgrade the ARR relic, you can buy a replica that can be put in the glamour chest. I don't know about the HW relic though.
At level 30 THM, you should have a class quest that unlocks BLM.
iirc, the replica can be placed in glamour chest, the real Anima cannot
is this a S rank?
The only last quest that was available for me was the lvl30 "facing your demons" quest, and I don't think I have blm unlocked yet?
Grassman is A rank
oh ok ty.
There should be a quest called Taking the Black from an NPC at the THM guild
nvm im big dumb just now noticed it lmao

What's the name of the quest in which you receive a mount?
"My Little Chocobo" IIRC
Ty!
Level 20ish from your grand company
Grand companies are a main storyline thing right?
'When can I get my first mount?'
The quest that allows you to use mounts, 'My Little Chocobo' is unlocked by completing the level 20 main story quest 'The Company You Keep'. The quest is located at the Grand Company base you chose and you'll need to buy the Chocobo Issuance from your Grand Company Quartermaster. You can get the 200 needed Grand Company seals by doing the main story quest that comes after 'The Company You Keep'.
'Are there any differences between mounts?'
Besides looks, all mounts are the same speed along with being able to fly in the expansion zones. Some mounts allow multiple people to ride at once.
'Can I make my mount faster?'
Zones have one or two ranks of mount speed that increase the ground speed of mounts. The first rank comes from completing specific quests in the main scenario quests, with the second rank coming from Riding Maps which are bought with either Allied Seals, Centurio Seals, or Bicolor Gemstones. Mount Speed Boosts do not increase the flying speed of mounts.
Thanks!
its good i decide boost lvl 70 my bart?
If it's your first class that high then I wouldn't recommend it
yes my first class
just level boosting without story skipping doesn't really do anything for you, is the issue
you level mostly by doing the main story anyway
$25 to avoid having to do a roulette every once in awhile to get past a level wall doesn't seem worth it to me
that and level skipping just drops a bunch of actions on your lap and you just have to spend a while actually working it out
Or you will be a burden to other players if you don't take that time
im lvl 45 i don't think 25 levels will fuck me i can learn game every day idk
ty also guys for your opinion ^_^
PotD is also a great place to learn
You start at level 1 and go all the way to 60 very quickly
Really nice to learn classes from the scratch
Hey everyone, I'm a brand new player (lvl 33 SCH) and I've been wondering how I should be going about my weaving job class
I've gotten it to lvl 30 so far and have been following a leveling guide
I'd highly recommend to wait till you get halfway through post-HW 😄
if i beat a figh on savage but get no loot i still get lock out of 2 chest?
Oh, why should I wait? :o
Massive and easy exp
You mine/log a few materials (but high quantity) or buy them off the MB
Then spam a macro and each turn in will net massive exp
Yeah when you do the patch 3.3 main story you unlock this crafting content that is good for leveling
I don't think it's all that necessary but it is a nice method
If you do just want to go for it leves are just as good but you just need more materials because different leves will ask you for different things
Ooo I see
You have limited leve allowances though... And they're either annoying if doing from the scratch or very expensive if buying everything
I wouldn't call them annoying at all
but the leve allowance is valid
to be fair in there though the leve allowance can get you really far
Yeah I've really just been focusing on weaving for myself to gear up and also took up leatherworking to help gear a bard friend
really far
I'd recommend saving the allowances for the gatherers.
If you want to do crafting you should really do all the crafters at once. They all use materials that all the other crafters make
You can't just pick one crafter and level that without having to spend loads on materials when you decide to make something
because if you'd want to make a leatherworker top for example and realise you'd need goldsmith metals, alchemist items, weaver stuff, etc etc

That's why Ishgard is so nice
You just need your gatherers or buy the mats on the MB
True but that issue still arises after the leveling of one class
All crafters can build the turn ins independently
Well, using a few leves to bring all them to level 25~ is super quick 😄
It's all well and good to level crafting the Ishgard way but if you still don't do them all at once then you can't really make anything without blowing a bunch of gil when the leveling is done
Yeah, I've been playing the game with 2 other friends (Marauder who took up Armourer + Miner & Bard who took up Alchemy + Botany) and we've been supplying each other with materials to help us all out, but I'm starting to need things my friends can't make ^^;
Yeah if you intend on using only one crafter than that's a real problem
Also, thank you both for all this info :D
who have 1 min to ask him in private somthing about the game please?
anyone who play alot the game
just ask here, you'll get more perspectives and people will correct each other if someone gives a wrong answer
Could you guys tell me with how much gil I'll most likely end up after the ARR Story? And is it relatively easy for a newb to obtain more gil?
I'm really into costumes and housing.
After arr... a 100k to a few more depends on how much extra you sell
Its easier to get gil once you're higher level
Alright, thank you!
how do I make my own triple triad deck? I bought some cards but can't use them?
Crafting is where the real gil is at. But it takes an investment
Oh! And treasure maps, mats that drop from those sell a lot on MB
@leaden ginkgo
Menu > (left most menu lost) > Gold(en) Saucer.
Oh I see thank you 😄
what are the card limits? it says "too many rare cards" how many 1/2/3 star cards can I have?
only 1 3 star or above card
What ends up being better on Dps casters mostly Direct hit or Determination and why?
until you get 60 plus cards total
then you can have as many 3 star or lower and then 1 4star and above
@leaden ginkgo
but it seems like it won't let me have a 3 star and multiple 2 stars?
Which caster though.... generally dh and dr are same-ish, with crit being the priority, and sps to tier
actually it won't even let me have 1 2 star if i have my 3 star in the deck
it depends on your current collection
if you have fewer than... 40 cards, i think? you can have one >1-star card and all the rest have to be 1-star.
oh okay
yes
once you get to 40, you can fill with 2-star, and 60 with 3-star
Ye, collect more cards to increase that limit
oh yeah i just saw that mb
a good way to boost your collection early on is to buy a bunch of the cheap booster packs from the gold saucer with MGP, then go beat up on the TT NPCs in the super low-level zones
direct hit on average will be a bit stronger than determination, between those two stats. But if you can hit multiple det tiers with a meld vs fewer dh tiers then det might be better. It's a bit of a complicated thing, and is why assigning a rough stat priority might be helpful but isn't always accurate in all cases @hushed girder
black brush station, bentbranch meadows, etc.
stats are ultimately a bit confusing
luckily they don't really matter all that much, outside of going for higher ilvl/main stat
well, that's not quite an accurate tldr no
(5+1)x2 is not higher than 5x2x2
det + dh can indeed be stronger than crit + dh too, depending on how much you have of each
Yeah but assuming we're talking about maxed stats
looking at stats in a vacuum is a bit of a fallacy and can lead to some incorrect conclusions
I don't know what you mean by maxed stats

you mean max crit, max dh vs max dh max det? Sure, but that's not a thing you can do
Level 80 full gear with stats optimized tonmeet tiers
To meet substat tiers**
500 ilvl
it doesn't quite work that way especially when itemization comes into play
not for every job, and there's a good bit of leeway in that
He was talking about casters tho
yes, which also includes BLM which is very different
and even if it's just RDM/SMN it's not max dh max crit
Well yeah, you cant go over the substat meld
not just going over cap on gear
but optimizing for tiers and for damage overall
maximizing both dh and crit can easily not be the best outcome
Yeah but like I said thats assuming that you can even reach the next sub stat tier
every single meld can reach multiple tiers, if you're talking about dh vs det
There becomes a certain break off point where the substat tier for det will be greater than
The potential increase of DH
Ie: 10% DET damage increase vs 0.05% dh increase
there's not a breakoff point really
Thats how math works tho..
I dunno this is going way too far into it anyways
You find the intersecting point to maximize
there's not a magic intersecting point
Thats literally derivative maximizong
just leave it be, there's nothing really to be done here and we've gone far away from the original point. On average dh will be stronger than det. But it's a bit more complicated than that, but it barely matters (and at endgame people do the math to get the best sets available anyways, and you can just go with those)
that's all that I said and all that is needed to address their question haha
guys i got disconnect random (say connection lost but in discord i ping normally)
I wouldn't worry too much about it if it's just a one-off thing. Can you log back on fine?
Make sure you can log in fine
all you can really do is reconnect
@ancient smelt just bear in mind that just because discord, or anything else on the internet “works fine” it’s doesn’t necessarily equate “the game has a problem”
ok it for say, i dont think it a connection problem
i close ff and after i connect back without problem
A bad network node/hop is the internet’s equivalent to a 40 car pileup on the highway
And iirc, 14 is a little zealous about it’s handling of laggy clients
no this is patrick
@delicate elk traffic analogies are the easiest way I’ve found to explain internet routing issues ¯_(ツ)_/¯
how to check if i did a quest or not?
hit j on keyboard to open your quest journal and there's a button on the top right of the left window that says "complete"
click that and you can filter through what kind of quest you want to look for
you can also search the quest name
ty
What positioning do Scholars (or healers in general) usually take in dungeons? Do I stay behind everyone or stay beside the tank? I've seen some healers stay near the tank and I've seen some stand behind me when I was still an Arcanist
im still unsure how i unlock the ShB srip exchange attendents. Got the ones from HW and SB but can't see any quest icons for it in the crystarium
try to stay in a spot where you can hit everyone with your AoE spells
other than that, just don't get hit by stuff
Ok 👍 thank you guys
which beast tribe is for gathering
namuzi or kojin
Hey guys, I'm on the light farming part of my anima wep quest line, what would u say is the fastest way to get it done?
yes sorry i wrote ananta for namazu
ok :V
Is there a reason why people tend to sell in odd bulk numbers on market board? Like, why would someone list 94 clear glass lens?
And why doesn't the game allow you to buy a certain quantity
😦
@ancient smelt Namazu are actually for crafters. Qitari is for gathering
Namazu take gatherers as well
Really 😮 Oh okay then, sorry
also qitari is for 70+
which is not helpful for someone still in 60 content
People sell in weird stacks because they're too lazy to break tehm up into smaller groups
When will yoshi p be interviewed?

Are Crystarium deliveries just custom deliveries but ya cant buy the mats via npc?
@leaden ginkgo He won't, SE pulled out of Pax
Are the quests repeatable, btw?
No
Ik but didn't they reschedule?
Not that we know
F
So the crystarium deliveries are just... i dunoe, a one shot quest line?
But the mats are gathered/bought frlm MB
no
Yeah
they're untradeable
You have to get them yourself
How decent is the exp? From doin my prev class quests, most of my DoHs are 73++, whereas my DoLs are 76+
for the gathering, at least
Erm, crafted?
Though for crafting they just use regular mats
Oh. Ok. Are the exp rewards decent enough?
can 2 male chars marry?
Oh. I cant switch?
Do chocobo bardings affect chocobo skin color?
nod nods
So if i want a color to go along with idk, suzaku barding
i have to feed my chocobo till i achieve it
then give the barding?
yes
Once you give your chocobo a barding you lose it?
no
or it's an item you can equip and unequip
its an item that you can equip and unequip at your leisure
I hope my handking gears can see me through ;_;
whych level do i unlock dayle duty?
After unlocking 2 levelling dungeons
which is story-based
the second dungeon is level 16, but you'll probably be higher than that when you get there
My character stops moving when I hold shift, any idea how to fix this?
I use shift for push to talk on discord
don't hold shift :V
I need it for discord 😦
Do you have Shift +W/A/S/D bound to something else?
iirc shift + A is the quick command for alliance chat, there areprobably related binds like that that prevent you from moving since they open up chat
what key bind target filter does?
quick question, i have a friend that just bought the base game, not the complete edition, so if he buys shadowbringers, does he get the other expansions?
thx
Is Enchanted Reprise ever worth using instead of Verholy/flare and Scorch?
Instead of? Absolutely not
But you do want to use it for mobility and managing your mana
Any MNK mains around willing to answer a few questions in DM so we don't flood the chat?
Mobility?
Being able to move while still using a GCD
And you have to do a full melee combo.for
And aren't readily available
While enchanted reprise is
Nope
there is one thing i cant understand, how can i "earn" materia (not buy it farm it earn it or something like that i dont have idea)
From spiritbonding...when you get to higher level content, you can get cracked crystals/stellacrystals which can be traded for materia from a variety of content like treasure maps, 24man (weekly) and so on
hey guys so im torn between two classes. ive basically decided i want to tank but i dislike paladin. right now im between warrior and dark knight. i tend to lean towards warrior type classes in games however DRK does seem really cool
so im not sure
Lv70 and 80 dungeons also straight drop materia as well
ok ty @faint flare
how does fire shard and white shard is used to craf cook?
@leaden ginkgo they're not mutually exclusive because of the armory system. pick one and try it and see how you like it. at higher levels dark knight and warrior are pretty similar playstyle-wise
who do i go to trade in my manufactured coins?
eulmore
you trade the coins at the third npc from the left of 4
tab is glorious gewgaws
its the long table with the 4 npcs in one row
this one is token exchange? iirc
How fire shard and water shard are used in cooking?
🤔
i dunno man, how do you use fire and water in cooking?
because i use it to, y'know
cook
how does marry work?
this is the official site, it explains p much everything
the only thing i would say that's not clear from this site is that both partners have to purchase the same level of plan
so does the platinum one give the gold stuff too?
no
iirc you get the plan you pay for
@iron oracle, yes the platinum one also gives the gold stuff, because it is a higher grade. (The highest and the most expensive one.)
@junior yacht I mean , it cost xshards to craft something? Cause i thought i only need shards to cook egg but it looks like i need water
yes, every crafting recipe needs some kind of shard, crystal or cluster
the crystals you need are specified in the recipe
i've been corrected thanks dreamy
I'm pretty sure the fees page for marriage states exactly what you get with each
crystals are a catalyst to your crafting that you use to put the materials together
don't think too hard on the logic of why certain crystals are needed
Is there a way to transfer ownership of a CWLS?
I mean gold is also a fancy tier too technically
It depends on if you want what gold or plat give
does the reward of logs is auto pilot?
you can get married for free if you want
How much is a high quality neo ishgardian chest piece?
Is it possible to dye stuff similar to the Skirt Of Light? I assumed it'd be pure white but compared to my other pure white pieces it's slightly pink/peach colored, I can't seem to replicate it
there are also like 8 different neo-ishgardian chestpieces lol
how do I travel to western la noscea
@iron oracle
Platinum gives more ceremony options, extra prisms and also a fancier wedding dress/costume. (You get the glam that is given with the gold plan too.)
But for the rest the "rewards" are the same for Gold and Platinum.
@rich bay ok thanks do I need to be in same home world? Like malboro?
Also only the paid versions of the wedding outfits are dyeable
The standard version is undyeable
@iron oracle, yes. And the guests also need to have to be from the same home world as you. (About the prism items, platinum gives 2 types, gold only gives 1 type afaik.)
@leaden ginkgo yes?
@leaden ginkgo try a different white dye, some dyes you need to buy from mog station
is elavequest worth it doing?
Levequests aren't worth it for combat classes imo
what place in eorzea that doesnt ask for tax when buying stuff from mb unlike limsa?
@odd bobcat all exits to and from zones are listed on the map. leves are for leveling crafters and gatherers
All of them do now
you pay tax at all marketboards now
;/

@stray saffron ohh
is it worth to blow all my money on Dalmascan Draped Top? need opinions
If you want
It depends do you like it?
i like it, but itll cost my whole gil
I think it looks too plain but thats just me
The price we pay for fashion
I mean that's entirely a you decision tbh
I’d wait a bit the price is already low
Wait till it hits that 2 mil
It’s dropping faster then rebel lol
it is?
Yeah rebel is just now hitting 3mil, the top is at 3 almost 2 mil
Rebel has been 6 mil for so long and it’s now dropping vs this piece
It’s also really cute to me but it’s worth waiting imo if you really like it and don’t want to give someone more Gil then needed lol
@leaden ginkgo,
Check the Wolves Den NPC's.
I don't know if there is a 100% copy of it for Ninja's, but i think the vendors there will have something like that.
hmmm oki, ty
Yeah np!
@proper junco, do some Zonureskin treasure hunts and hope you get the materials?
im pretty unlucky, i havent got a single good thing ever since indigo cloth came out
mood
Is it free to transfer from Malboro to brynhildr
I don't believe Crystal worlds count as new anymore so it wouldn't be
ah
Hey guys im new in the game im lvl80 DRK and yesterday i bought a house it was small for me and my friends is there any way to make it bigger Note my house is Small I want like M or L
You'd have to find a Medium or Large plot that's for sale and relocate to it
And that tends to be a very difficult task unfortunately since everyone ever wants them too
so i cant make it bigger right ?
You can't expand your house no, you have to move to an entirely different, larger plot
could anyone give me a tldr of what has been added since a month after xpac release?
Were you not in your home world when you logged off @iron oracle ?
prob
Supposedly it won't let you transfer if you're not currently logged off in your home world
It used to be that there was a limit of 10mil gil that could go with you when you transfered
Pretty sure it's 999,999,999 now though so
@narrow parcel @iron oracle
No, the limit is 10mil, anything more then that is lost. Retainers can also hold a certain amount. So that is why it is smart to buy Allagan Pieces from the MB. Those are not limited and can replace the money you can't transfer.
Only if you transfer to a new world or from Congested to Preferred the cap is removed.
I was pretty sure that was change hmm 
The lodestone page implies the 999mil at least still
Only when there is a special transfer initiative.
Only mentions of the 10mil cap I've found are from 2 years ago ¯_(ツ)_/¯
only gil is like that right? all the stuff in your inventory is stillt here?
I had a feeling
Thanks @narrow parcel
@iron oracle, yes.
The gil is indeed uncapped since 4.57.
You basically keep everything that isn't tied to the world you're in
So you'd lose housing, your FC, scores, etc
They remind you anyway if you try to
wow they've barely added anything since release, usually there are at least a couple updates. oh well
@lone siren, the next one is 5.21 over a few days? With Ishgard Restoration updates?
Both had a lot of content on their own
That is normal, because you can transfer datacentres too.
@lone siren assuming you meant new content since after ShB's release, then:
https://eu.finalfantasyxiv.com/shadowbringers/patch_5_1/
https://eu.finalfantasyxiv.com/shadowbringers/patch_5_2/
Where can I change chat size (the overall size, not just the text window) without changing all UI components? My chat text size is so small I can barely read it, but changing font size just makes it ugly.
how do i know when the transfer si done?
You'll be able to log in :p
@gritty oracle
You can expand it just by dragging the border of the chat window. (Just like a program window in Windows/MacOS/Linux.)
Think they're asking how to expand it overall including the font
In which case I think the HUD editor might have an option to adjust its scale like other HUD elements?
although chat window actually isn't included there is it
There is an option to make the font of the chat window text bigger in the player options. (You can set it per chat tab too!)
And yes, the chat window is not included in the HUD settings.
@gritty oracle 
Yeah you'd just have to increase the chat font size and drag the window to make it bigger, no setting that does both at once equally
I also did it, because my screen is really large. (4K- 43 inch.)
Thanks! Is there any way to make the "write box" (the area where you actually type) also bigger m
?*
Yes!
its not giving me option LeGinger (Bryn) so should i contact support?
There is also an option to make that font bigger too. (In chat settings) @gritty oracle
I'd say relog mogstation after logging into FFXIV if the transfer finished to make sure it all updates
i relogged but nothing happened
lodestone takes longer to update than the character list ingame
IIRC like every 4 or 6 hours
they say don't buy any mogstation items on a fresh character transfer for like 24 hours to be safe
so i would wait and buy your wedding plan tomorrow
from the lodestone perspective, your character is still in limbo right now. that's why they aren't showing up in the list
I think it's a 3 hour update cycle for Lodestone Sade
whats the highest level doh gear set?
@topaz sequoia are you trying to upgrade from a free trial?
yep!
okay so what you wanna do is click the link that says "buy physical" or whatever which will take you to the Square Enix official store. make an account for that store and sync it with your FF14 account, buy the game download from that store
you have to buy the game first then you have to pay monthly to play
i mean there was the sale full edition for $25

sorry, kinda new to the game
buying the base game gives you 1 month for free
i also got another 15 days free for hitting level 30
is it this start edition thing?
You only get the 15 days if you start on a Preferred world
@granite wolf you mean the blue gear?
There is script gear that was just added in 5.2 at 80
There is level 70 script gear as well
It's the highest ilvl and base stats but not the best when melding is taken into consideration yeah
At level 80 its fine to have it if you have no gear before but eventually you will want to upgrade to facet gear with melds for BiS
@topaz sequoia that's the starter edition which goes through level 50. if you want the expansions which get you up to level 80 there's the complete edition
ill definitely start with the beginner for now, thanks!
if you buy the starter now you dont need the complete later, only the latest expansion
Ishgard restoration will have an ultimate end date, right? It’s not something that’d always be there?
flying mounts are fasteR?
Flying in general since all mounts can fly but yes
flight has the same ground speed when not flying
!faq mounts
'When can I get my first mount?'
The quest that allows you to use mounts, 'My Little Chocobo' is unlocked by completing the level 20 main story quest 'The Company You Keep'. The quest is located at the Grand Company base you chose and you'll need to buy the Chocobo Issuance from your Grand Company Quartermaster. You can get the 200 needed Grand Company seals by doing the main story quest that comes after 'The Company You Keep'.
'Are there any differences between mounts?'
Besides looks, all mounts are the same speed along with being able to fly in the expansion zones. Some mounts allow multiple people to ride at once.
'Can I make my mount faster?'
Zones have one or two ranks of mount speed that increase the ground speed of mounts. The first rank comes from completing specific quests in the main scenario quests, with the second rank coming from Riding Maps which are bought with either Allied Seals, Centurio Seals, or Bicolor Gemstones. Mount Speed Boosts do not increase the flying speed of mounts.
So even the almighty chochocobo can fly
And what is the reason ( lore wise ) for leave quest?
Not sure if there even is one other than "hey we need you to do small thing thanks"
Anyone can tell me if this weapon can be sold through the marketplace? https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Inferno_Katana
It can be afaik
Would say 'Market Prohibited' next to its name otherwise
Oh yeah it's a crafted on too so definitely, wasn't even paying attention
Fenrir can fly?
Every mount
How a wolf fly
¯_(ツ)_/¯
I mean he got wings?
They've said to just not ask how some of the mounts can fly xP
Or he just run on air
The gist of it is 'magic'
Noo im not asking by "ohh wolfs do not fly bs" im asking if they make they nagic fly or there nuances to it
@narrow parcel Gotcha! Thanks! ^^
freaking flying whales
Don't forget the flying bed
Are all wolf mounts gotten through PvP or can some of them be acquired another way?
and the flying behemoth lol
@odd bobcat It depends on the mount. Mounts like the wolves just run on the air.
Depends on what 'wolf' mount you mean
