how do i organize my stuff
@zenith geyser try #494379215420915712 or r/ffxivrecruitment or shout in limsa
@odd bobcat that's pretty vague but
toss out or vendor sell whatever you don't immediately need
desynth items if you can and sell those items as well on marketboard
sort things using your retainers and chocobo saddlebag
im assuming you weren't asking for right click sort
I was gonna say - right click sort is how to organize your stuff 😄
i knew you were gonna say that as soon as i saw you typing aura 
I aspire to inspire self-awareness in everyone ^_^
But seriously. Right click sort if you're just looking to quickly classify everything in the active inventory/armory/saddlebag/retainer space. Or if you're looking to get things even more organized, only deposit specific types of items onto certain retainers.
Like I have one retainer dedicated to low level gear, one to tomestone/raid gear, one to crafting materials, and one to ShB gear, materials, and materia.
hey guys any place where i can see useful macros for my job?
for example macroing 0GCDs into commonly used skills, like on warrior i forget to use raw intuition a lot i feel like
Which job?
so i guess warrior
Nascent is better than raw most of the time
ahh im still lvling warrior
But if you mean macro to automatically use it, don’t do that
when I say macro nascent flash i mean like
to assist targeting a friendly team mate
combat macros suck if you have to macro timers and everything due to both wait limits and macro limits
such as how macros cancel out other active macros
Yeah the only macros I feel comfortable to endorse are raise macros so you can tell the party who you are raising, ground based aoes like salted earth to cast it quicker, and probably something like weird astro card macro systems to put cards on people easier.
oh and crafting macros
Yeah most of my battle macros are ones around placing on the ground or party-member based
When is SHB gonna go on sale?
not for a while
maybe during the steam summer sale for a steam copy
otherwise
¯_(ツ)_/¯

@little swift i thought there were macros to insta organize my stuff
there are definitely macros to do that
57 votes and 35 comments so far on Reddit
stuff like this is available
/isort
do you use your chocobo saddlebag?
You can story the items you want there
dyes can be repurchased for the most part
or made with crafters
but the general purpose ones are a bit more rare
how the macro work ?
that specific code
and you execute it like any other button
yeah but it looks you create an ai to organize your itens
you can either create a macro that executes all of those at once
other macros makes more sense
yeah im using one , but the macros I saw were like pressing a butons in an order
this one looks more complex
thatr is why im asking
Daily roulettes ordered by most to least exp?
50/60/70 barely gives any xp
I know that alliance gives a ton but how about normal raids?
It’s more along the lines of MSQ > Leveling/alliance > trials > normal > 50/60/70 > guildhest
oh yeah raid mobs don't give exp
Would normal raids give as much as trial?
msq first
Already did msq, this is more about leveling alts
what are trials?
Trials are single boss fights not in a series.
Like Ramuh or Odin
As opposed to Normal Raids which are a series of 12 single boss fights connected by a storyline - specifically Alexander, Omega, and Eden.
@wintry chasm Can I get the salted earth macro? How should I go around creating 1 for it?
/micon "Salted Earth"
/ac "Salted Earth" <t>
If you don't want to use the "" around the action name, you can also use the auto translate function to insert it.
so basically it places salted earth onwhoever you're targeting. Got it
does it work if i target myself?
It does
thanks!
Because if you're targeting yourself, then you still have a valid target as defined by the system.
definitely a lot faster. I just unlocked salted earth and realised i have to place it down..unlike PAL's DoT aoe
You can use <me> to self-target yourself
You can also make it so that instead of placing it on your <t>arget, it gets placed on a specifically ordered party member.
Delay** compared to casting manually
By using <1> through <8> instead of <t>
i see. thanks! Could use that for certain buff or healer related skill i bet
If it's a single action, it shouldn't have any delay of cast.
ooh like sacred soil
It's only combination macros that should have a delay
Doesnt it get messed up if you double weave?
Pretty sure that's only if it has multiple actions.
I haven't seen any delays when using my "cooldown timer" macros, which are just /ac and then /wait until the cd is up to /echo a <se> at me
But I also only use those for healing cds
I don't generally use macros for dps actions.
Or dps jobs
just noticed how in the chat, it says "Your Culinarian desynthesis skill increases by X.XX" is there a seperate level for desynthesis?
yes
Yes
you can check it by hovering over the DoH names in your character sheet
what are some of the healing CDs you have on macro, Aura?
and i guess the only change is that i raise the odds of me getting more rare stuff when i break down items
I have cd /echo macros to tell me when Thin Air, Temperance, and Lucid Dreaming are off cd.
They're basically simple macros that look like this:
/micon Temperance
/ac Temperance
/wait 60
/wait 60
/echo Temperance is up <se. 1>
Because the /wait command only measures up to 60s, and Temperance has a 120s cd
ooh
If you do /wait 120 it will execute the final /echo command after 60s
thanks! very helpful
Lucid is easy because it only has a 60s cd
Yeah. I find them useful because it lets me put an audible cue (you don't have to use <se. 1>, there are something like 24 effects, and I use a different effect for each spell) so I don't have to keep monitoring my longer cds to know I have them available.
Can you get a dragon from Ruby Extreme?
Yes
Nice. Is it ruby colored? 😮
Naturally
Do you have a separate chat window just for Echoes? noticed people use echoes a lot
No. /echo only reports to you, so another chat window isn't really necessary.
Why are we limited to 4 chat windows and what are you going to do to increase that number?
🤷♂️
We’re not SE. we can’t say if/when they’ll add more chat windows
Is there a way to increase the number of quests shown in the duty list?
sadly no
Oh dang 😕
Yeah 5 is the limit
is it easier/better to clear custom deliveries for gathering scrip with fisher or BTN/MIN?
Easier with btn min
Btn/min is probably going to be easier
Fisher needs bait and some fish need weather and time on top of rng
Cos fisher is rng, even if you can swing it a bit in your favour using patience
If you want yellow scrip mainly than Voyage fishing is a ton of em

Is it possible to clear e5s-e8s savage without doing their normal version?
Yeah thought so
I'm told there are other books besides the level 80 BTN/MIN/FSH books. Are there other Splendors Vendors I get those from? Do I even need them?
the other books are just for the lower max levels
You don't necessarily need them unless you want to go back and gather hw/sb legendary nodes
I haven't seen any lvl 80 recipes require those retroactively
I guess they are deprecated?
they're probably not as useful if you're only focusing on shb related crafts, yeah
For DNC in pvp, does anyone know which skill turns into "Pirouette" after casting Steps?
I can't seem to find it...
OH
NVM
LOL
carry on
I'm looking for the name of these armor pieces
Any clues?
Chest/gloves/boots only
chest is scion liberator's jacket, gloves and boots are replica/high allagan
Thank you very much!
hey everyone. i have a question.
i have ps4 version with 20 something days remaining.
i know i have to buy on pc to play it there.
if i buy a pc version NOW.
will i be able to play on both places?
and
will the days remaining 20 get added to the 30 i get from buying the pc version.?
basically are the subscrtipion days different for platforms?
thx
Subscription days are the same but you need a new license for the PC version
The subscription days may be added at the end of the 20 days but check the conditions for it.
you will get another 30 days for applying a brand new base version to pc
the subscription is account not platform based
if you're subbed on ps4 you're good to go on pc
you obviously just need to buy the game again on pc/mac
@random warren @willow marlin thx
but what im wondering. that i dont want to waste a 30 day subscription.
i.e. i hope they wont be parallel. and get added together.
because i will eventually shift to PC sure.
but what if i stick to ps4 for 25 days. i dont want to waste "25 pc days" coz of that
(and yea im just excited to buy it now instead of waiting ps4 subs to end)
you wont
if you bought a new pc license right now
the 30 days would be added on
so youd get 55 days
Aye
thx!!!
Weaver and alchemist for smn

Blacksmith and armorsmith for lancer/dragoon I believe
Dragoon weapons are Carpenter
Either way you’ll want to level up pretty much all 8 crafters besides maybe culinarian due to recipes using items made from other crafters
A chest piece made by Armorer could use stuff made from itself, Leatherworker, Goldsmith, and Alchemist
does anyone have a good swiftcast + raise macro?
While I don’t recommend them, the basics are something like this
/ac swiftcast
/wait 1
/ac raise
/p raising <t>
That's basically the macro I use
Generally not good to combine multiple actions in a single macro, due to the wait timer. If anything I’d just have raise in a macro by itself with a message saying who you’re raising
The trick with the /wait is to make sure to not cast anything else until you're certain its executed properly.
In 2-healer content, that's usually fine because the other healer can pick up the slack.
It can be a little sketchier in 1-healer content though, so you have to be careful about it.
so it would be a decent idea to just raise normally during light parties then
thats p fair and makes sense
Or manually hit Swiftcast then Raise
That's nominally more effective than macroing the two abilities together.
true, i'll keep that in mind
It was mentioned in discussion earlier that the best use of macros is 1.) on Raise to let people know who you're reviving, 2.) as a cooldown alert with /echo, or 3.) to cast a spell (particularly ground effects) on a specific target.
ah ok thats good to know, thanks!
can I get to floor 50 with random que in POTD? I was told I couldn't
do BLU not get more exp from mobs in dungeons? Is it ONLY in the overworld?
You can reach floor 50 with matched groups.
though the floor 50 boss is very punishing if you make mistakes
okay, thank you
There's a bit more than that. >.>
Oh yeah, hit it until boss is dead 🤣
...
question, wht should I be melding my Neo-ishgardian tank and healer gear with? Balance only lists the Eden verse gear afaik.
Basically, you want to make sure to not get hit by any AoEs the boss does or a rune on the ground will light up, which powers up one of her attacks.
If all enough runes are lit up then it will most likely kill everyone, with 3 usually being enough to kill people depending on aetherpool levels
@robust magnet Follow the meld priorities for your class. The general tank one is SkS to desired GCD tier if needed > Crit > DH if you don't play warrior > Det
Healers want Piety to comfort level > Spell Speed to desired GCD (I think Scholar wants like 2.42 or something) > Crit > Det or DH depending on how confident you feel in your healing
so Det if I do plan to play warrior, over DH?
Yeah I asked once in balance bout piety and the neo-ishgardian set. I got kinda laughed at when I asked if I should meld some more into it with already 2300 piety lol.
Yes, as Direct Hit as a meld is useless during Inner Release.
2300 is a lot of piety already
then ignore melding piety
yeah this tier has a lot of piety on gear
Like, every weapon in 5.2 for healers has piety on it.

alright I'll try to start melding those stats in. Is there such thing as "too low" of a skill/spell speed?
The tanks in general want around 2.35-2.40 depending on the job
Would anyone remember at what level does the novice hall gear get replaced?
I think the melee DPS don't really care?
I think drg wants a tiny bit?
Ranged don't care, while Dancer and I think Machinist want to try to avoid it for alignment purposes
SMN/RDM don't really want it, while BLM makes good use out of it because all of their damage is in GCD skills
well
more like smn/rdm aren't really interested in it but its not the end of the world
Quick anyone Black mage or Ninja GO!
Black mage
Done
EXPLOSIONS
thank you
okay but Naruto running
But big boom booms
gottem.
depends what you prefer to do, complicated combos or explosions.
Isn't BLM one of the most simple/ lowest APM classes?
If we're counting tanks/healers too, then WAR and WHM are pretty simple
Simple rotation but its complexity is positioning to do said rotation
but in terms of just dps then yeah, along with maybe Dragoon too
where does DRK and SCH fit on the spectrum for that?
Drk is super simple...considering you only have 1 combo
And you just need to press flood/edge every 30s
Well so long as you're not full mp it's fine
SCH is more complex cause aetherflow and fairy management
DRK's burst can be a bit spammy on buttons, but outside of that they're fairly simple
I see.
Also you said "GCD Tier" is there a list of what tiers that is? currently at 2.35
!faq stats
So I'm looking at the graph, but not sure what exactly im looking for.
For the Skill Speed/Spell Speed table, it shows how much of those changes the GCD for various skills
For example, this is what your GCDs for these will be if you have 2000 SkS/SpS
The 1620 is the amount that comes from gear and not the base 380 from being level 80.
sitting at 1852 atm skill speed, isn't the GCD my recast timer on skills like hard slash?
yep
hmm.
Can quick synthesis craft item in HQ?
yes
do note it's random
so if you need the item to be HQ it's better to do it yourself
Thank you!!
Another question, can you mail someone on your friend list but on a different server/world? Want to send my friend a gift but they're offline
is eulmore always this laggy?
fairly certain they have to be on your world
You can only mail people from your world yeah
Lots of people like to hang out/AFK there, and it's near the start of a new patch so there's a lot of people currently
Guys ive heard that crafting in this game is fun but despite playing on and off for 2 years, i never started. Now i dont even know how to begin??? I want to be able to meld/pentameld in the future for endgame gear
You can unlock the crafting classes in the starting city-states.
Limsa Lominsa has Blacksmith, Armorer, and Culinarian.
Gridania has Leatherworker and Carpenter.
Ul'dah has Goldsmith, Weaver, and Alchemist.
I see, should i worry about synergy ie mixing/matching wrong ones?
Crafters don't share skills anymore
However it's still recommended to level them up together so they can share equipment and craft materials for each other.

If you wait until Ishgard you'll be able to level each one separately 😄
Which I really recommend. Trying to level everything at the same time might be a pain, although easier if you do actual crafting or try to follow the quests
@leaden ginkgo im lvl 80 and one of the main reason i want to start crafting is to unlock Scripts for Enie at Ishgard
@leaden ginkgo Oh, you get these scrips with the Ishgard restoration
So basically you'll be leveling up and earning scrips at the same time
Ishgard fates would be back Soon
Its a must attend (cause free 75% exp + 1k scrip if they didnt nerf it)
tell your friend the ward number and have them teleport to the housing zone
Or just .... estate setting enable guess visit & teleportation
Then they can right click your name on friend list and estate tele
@.@
when can you swap to a new class (what level or quest?)
my friednd started as the wrong class -_-
you need to complete your lvl 10 class quest
@leaden ginkgo Crit > Det > DH if you think you got enough healing > SpS
You also have to travel to the city that has the guild for the class that you want, which is something you should ideally put off until the MSQ naturally takes you there at level 15
Anyone around 70 on aether wanna dungeon spam for leveling?
What does it mean when a fishing location on FF14Angler has a fish icon with a shiny bit on it like on here:
This thing:
https://en.ff14angler.com/img/i_spot2.png
I think that refers to fishing holes that need the Gulleye trait?
Well these are 2.0 fish pond, it could be fisheye but I still don't get what exactly fisheye is supposed to do?
yes, its a hole that requires a gulleye trait

What are the most important stats for culinarian?
Same as for all the other crafters
Control craftsmanship and crafting points
FF14Angler says that the Ceruleum Fishing Spot is here but I just visited there, can't cast my line at all.
https://en.ff14angler.com/img/ss/ss030501_00.jpg
....huh?
Oh, well Gamerescape says the fishing spot for Ceruleum fileds is at 16-20 but even though I have fished there several times, it won't come up in my fishing log
I'm trying to catch this:
https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Wootz_Knifefish
"Central Thanalan: The ClutchNorthern Thanalan: Ceruleum FieldSouthern Thanalan: Burnt Lizard Creek"
* This is a high priority issue that we plan to address in Patch 5.21.```'
Hrmm
Pfft
hi so now there is no need to travel for saving market tax anymore?
yes, you're taxed regardless of being in the same city as the seller
is neo-ishgardian gear worth buying from the MP?
if you want to hop straight into eden verse/savage without having to farm phanta
you might also want to find a crafter that wants to craft all the pieces for you, and to give them their phanta-materials to get them cheaper

If I have a level 60 MSQ do I benefit more from doing it on a level 60 job or a level 70 job, experience-wise?
Either
You get the same amount of experience
But if you do it on the level 70 job you might hit the level cap in the middle of story
Which is sad times since you won't get XP then
So to make sure you don't do that I'd probably do the 60 job
Hey, might be a dumb question but why i can't give him the items ? ._.
did u reach the needed collectability? if its to low u cant turn it in
^
Oh so i need 90 of those ?
No
You know how you use touch skills to add quality to an item to make it high quality?
Same thing but with collectability
Ahh gotcha
So you have to hit 90 collectability with touch skills at least

@glad fog they are pulled from a small set
Once you turn in leves for that level range, the game will pull another one from the deck
hey :D would you guys recommend to first clear all ARR EX Trials and then move on to HW and SB EX Trials?
level 71 fresh in shadowbringers now
If there is a leve that I like, but I don't have time to do it (should go to bed lol) should I just take it now?
@latent saddle completely up to you, extreme trials don't unlock anything extra when completed (besides a weekly quest for i90 weapons for Ifrit/Garuda/Titan)
don't they drop like rare mounts? was the only thing why i wanted to clear them
yeah they do, I just meant like in terms of completing the quest for them
okay :D cool thank you very much (:
hey so i reached lvl21 and got a quest to enter a dungeon using the Duty finder - i'm almost 8 minutes in que and nothing pops up and i have no other quests in the main story
what should i do?
Go do fates...side quests...maybe go level some crafters or something....just do what you like during que
also , is it matter if i buy the game now at lvl21 or i should wait to finish the trail and then buy?
Buying now only really lets you go up to like floor 40 in palace of the deaf
if i leave the area of the dungeon and go to a another place will i lose the que? or its gonna teleport me to the dungeon
cool
And you can swap jobs
so buying the game b4 the trail ends is pointless for me right?
Kinda...doesn't really do anything immediately until you hit 35...aside from removing the gil cap and chat limitations
And hiring retainers i guess
So in late night wonder
alright thanks
how much XP does HoH give?
should i use the duty finder or the (dont know whats it called exactly) group finder for extreme trials?
Not really
Only JP uses duty finder for extreme
Na and EU highly prefer party finder for extreme and up content
okay, thank you so much
Chances of clearing extreme and up content in DF is...not the best
okay hahaha i thought so
sorry for another question, but to my information heavensward mounts (the birds) there are 7 for me to collect in order to acquire the phoenix right?
Yes, just like for the kirin
Ravana, bismark, thordan, niddy, and the 3 warring triad
The optional trial questline
ohh okay
From the same guy who gives you the extremes for Bismark
And ravana
Iirc its called Gods of Eld
Yeah, inside the rising stones
în my story line alphinaud is "missing" in shadowbringers, can i still find him anywhere to unlock his hw ex trial quest?
Yeah, cause every quest in each expansion take place in its own bubble
He'll be in the place he is required to be
okay so he is chilling in either waking sands or rising stones with the rest of the gang
okay thank you so much
sorry for all the questions, just got back into FFXIV and a lot to remember
Alphinaud doesn't unlock any EX trials though IIRC 🤔
stupid question, e5s does the tetther add do anything to you if you hit him (but ur not the one tetthered)
oof
Then tethers to someone else
@wintry chasm maybe i got something mixed up, but that relieves me even more
more dodge work then, thanks
no I mean, if I'm not the one tetthered
cause OT runs everywhere with it and I was like "uh... is it ok to be on OT's path or should I do some dodgework"
thank you :3
Provided you dont have equal or more stacks then the OT, you can touch it
@fresh lodge
@dapper trail has been banned by ドクター Meara#0312 for the following reason:
go advertise somewhere else
Thanks
Say, how long is the Post Stormblood content
IIRC 42 quests
not as long as post ARR hahahha
That's like HW
Its not that long
i dun even remember how long i spent in post HW
How quick can you read @leaden ginkgo?
How fast are queues
Etc etc, I can't answer that
i just wonder if i could knock it all out in one night, 9 hours
Then i guess i won't
Being a night shifter, and staying up at night, makes me at times realize that figuring out what content to do is hard :,D
When you got from 9 PM to 9 AM of free time, you really gotta think
Should I use silver Chocobo feathers on Ironworks weapons for the two classes I main? I have 10, and they’re 5 each
So i just finished the first dungeon and it was a blast!
so impressed with this game 😮
is there any way to get a damage meter or something? since im playing a tank I think it would be interesting to see how relevant my damage is
You can by using a third party app
There'sno official dps meter, only the third party one called ACT
As long as you don't speak about it in game, you'll be fine
Ok, you dont have to judge me, but i bought this boost to lvl 70 Dragoon. Every Job-Quest is finished, but i got no Drachen-Armor. How can i get this now?
From the calamity salvager in the main city-states
Calamity salvager for lv50 job gear
thanks a lot
I mean if it isnt officially supported i will probably pass. btw, is 100% bonus xp the cap? when I switch to a job lower than my highest job I still only get 100% bonus xp from the road to 70 bonus
No it’s not the max
I think you can stack up to like 400% with all the exp items and bonuses?
Also Armoury bonus only works on killing monsters for the most part
While Road to 70 works on virtually all sources of experience.
ohh, i see, so leveling in instances is good for secondary jobs?
Yeah, spamming dungeons after doing your daily roulettes is generally the best form of experience after the story
btw are tomestones of poetics usefull for anything at max level? currently kinda stuck with 2000/2000 with nothing to spend them on
There’s a few options if you want Gil
how can i become a crafter?
im waiting in a que for a while and dont have new quests im lvl24
might do some crafts while im waiting to do the main s tory quests
Go to a crafter guild and take the blue quest there
yeah but which one? like the leatherworking ?
Leatherwork is in gridania
You'll want all of them eventually
armsmith and blacksmith are from limsa
would probably better to start with miner or botanist if u want to lvl your crafter and dont want to spend gil for it
And get at least one retainer on gathering too, esp crystals
Also if you just want to dabble in crafting, I recommend CUL. It only needs botanist for the majority of recipes and it's useful for leveling.
@obsidian patio depending on what you got you can go higher. I think I got to +5XX% xp

Scratch that. Apparently LTW ishgard can be essentially self sufficient
But whew. Quite a slog
im from sa
what is the time right now in na?
so i can measure the best timings to play
Depends on exact time zone but 4:30 to 7:30 for most of NA
9:30 righ now
so 2hours deficit
does most of the comunity is from 4:30 or 7:30 zone?
I’d say split between them for the most part
Since both coasts of the US are pretty populated
Yes. Do you mean kupo’s commands?
There’s a pin with all his commands in #kupo-bot-spam

hey i wonder do i get a fantasia potion free ingame?
Yes. When you complete the ARR MSQ you'll receive a fantasia potion as a quest reward.
It should be, yes.
ok what about getting a mount? when its possible?
you should of gotten one by lv 20
you get a free chocobo if you buy the permit with the seals you gotten for joining a grand company

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.
alright thanks i will look for that quests
@analog elk what server are you on?
ah
Is there any reason why I would want to take CNJ past 30? Or should I just switch to WHM at 30 and continue with that to 80?
ou should switch
All classes are pretty much replaced by the job later
the grand company base you chose - no idea which base 😮
i remember seeing that quest name for the mount but im not sure where it was
@steady zephyr pretty much once you get your job stone, theres no reason not to wear it
hmm maybe i got it wrong and my main story quest is only lvl 17 so far
you lose access to like 70% of your skills if you just reamain a conj
@analog elk yeah, you're not there
Thanks all
i was sure i already got there because i am lvl27 but that happened because my server got the "road to 70" buff
its a way to incentives new/returning/moving players to join the new data center @analog elk
yeah i will just keep pushing the main quest
the good news is that you'll never have to worry about being roadblocked by lack of levels
thats cool 🙂
i love how this game got voice acting and you actually enjoy doing quests compared to a game like WoW
we'll see how you feel about that soon enough 
cause you got about 400 quests before you're all caught up.
haha i imagine.. but i take it slowly and enjoy my time.. i already know i will buy this game. i just cant wait to become a samurai already o.O
samurai here, best class ever
its a very easy class, but very satisfying
im over here stuck between thinking about maining sam and maining monk
sam is so cool for having both gap close and disengage
monk is the "GOTTA GO FAST" class, its hectic as fuck, has alot of ogcds and the gl4 gcd reduction makes it really manic
atleast with sam i can just turn off my brain a little and go 1-2-3
monk is really stressing
are there servers where they "road to" buff still applies?
or is it any character on any new server?
or a specific data center?
you must look for the server that has a star on the side of it's name
does it apply for transfers as well? or only new character creation?
i am on EU Light-Zodiark and i got the road to 70 buff
it would be easier if monk didnt have so many god damn ogcd and useless ass skills. like wtf is even the purpose of six sidded stars and tornado kick
monk never was my thing... i was to wield a katana
i'm not sure if it applies for server transference
no, transfering to a new server does not give you the buff
you can see which servers are preferred here
thanks all
yes i do 😄
still cant decide on a race that i will play.. might be Au Ra/Miqote/Human 😮
I always pick the falafels
don't pick lalafells
they are at the bottom of the food chain
literally
their are so many fates that imply the monsters eat lalafells
Are FCs realm specific or can you have characters from different realms in the same data center?
fc's? free companies?
The guilds
free companies then no, they all have to be in the same world
you can have people in a linkshell be crossworld i believe
but the guilds aka free companies, no.
linkshells are pretty much like private group chats @steady zephyr
ok, thanks!
what the % for that "road to" buff? I'm not seeing it on the wiki or anywhere
@steady zephyr
The Road to x0 buff is a buff that doubles all experience earned.
It lasts for 45 90 days or when the server is no longer preferred/new, what comes last of the two.
90 days
appreciate it
What are fflogs?
A website that you can upload logs from ACT to, and it shows people's DPS on endgame bosses
Also some other nifty stats, like popularity among the different jobs

Am i more than halfway through stormblood if I did the Doma castle instance?
thats the lv 67 dungeon right?
Yes
a bit more than half way, yeah
Then yes
you're quite off, like heavensward and arr. you still got patches 4.1-4.5
so your almost done with patch 4.0
Should i do daily roulette while questing?
Up to you
leveling roulette offers really good exp, do it on another class your not going through the msq with
ok
unless you're severely over leveled, yeah
he is
The main story quest for 4.1-4.5 is negligible
hes on one of those preferred servers so hes getting alot of exp from the msq @twilit arch
@silent harbor yeah but its still like 7-10 msq quests per patch right?
and a dungeon
Give or take yeah
Compared to the rest of the expansion he’s more than half way done
mhm, post patches for the expacs go by fairly quickly
Yeah
I say that because I have 12 alts and I’ve done the story on all of them
But you do you, I suppose
Have two other characters that I skipped to stormblood
why would you have 12 alts ?
Why wouldn't you?
RP reasons/playing on different data centers mostly

Sorry missed the message while I was getting into work. I have 12 alts from before cross world party finder was a thing.
So I have characters to play with all of my friends who were on different worlds
As a streamer I try to have an 80 on every single EU and NA data center so I can help people with content mostly now a days
Right now the only worlds that I still need to level up are Light and Primal. Those are both at 70
How should e7(normal) idolatry(s) be killed? Each pub party I got into have their own idea (split/stack ; burst 1 first/both same time) and whats the trigger for it casting aoe wipe?
they're purely timer-based for enrage
you will want to stack them
it makes it much easier to do the mechanics if you do, and lets people use cleave to kill them faster
similarly, it's more efficient to kill them a bit more evenly to better take advantage of cleave
stacking them also makes it easier to avoid the AoE
yeah that's what I meant by mechanics haha
when do I get the quest to unlock Sephirot?
The warring triad questline?
oh it's a questline of its own?
Its a series of side quests yes
oh I thought to look in the Rising Stones first for some reason
Rising Stones is correct
Not entirely
You might need Gold of Eld from the pillars first though. I think the guy is next to Fortemps Manor
To start the questline you have to accept Gods of Eld from The Pillars
THEN the rest is in Rising Stones
gotcha
what is the secret of getting the companion app to let me log in 😦
The app was having maintenance this morning
It was mentioned in #lodestone-news-na
anyone has e6s macro can pm me ?
said it was for the 9th i thought
Oop you are right.
My guess it might just be having technical difficulties.
Or did you by chance misplace your password?
naw, i can login fine ingame and on the site, i get to the OTP part and put it in, then it puts me on a page saying a technial error has occouried, and thats it no other codes or such.
can anyone tell me what these "penalty-points" are?
Hmm yeah my guess would be that it's just having technical issues Giz. Has this been going on for a few days? Or just today
in what context @dark grove
uh
pretty much every time ive tried it
in general, what happens when u get too much of them etc
Where are you getting them?
is there any site for that? cause google doesnt help weirdly
I have no clue what you're referring to so I'm asking lol
Deny 3 times and you can't queue for 30 minutes
it's just a 30 minute duty finder lockout after leaving a dungeon or not accepting the queue yeah
they don't accumulate in any way
just 30 minute lockout from queues
oh okay, ty

so uhm all eden verse are the same difficulty? they all require same ilv so i was wondering
No they are different
Every fight has different mechanics.
Shiva is more difficult then Ramuh, and more people have a hard time with Iconoclasm then most.
only cause they're small iq on the easiest fight
Same raid tier
It's always been that way.
The iLvl req is literally just a gate so you don't get low gear noobies trying to do harder fights
since I know e7n has something of a dps check
They're all equal ish difficulty but their various mechanics make some fights harder for others and easier for some people
I cant wrap my head around b/w + portal (oof)
For normal just watch which portal the bird spinny orbs go into first.
hey all has anyone had the "an unexpected error has occurred. exiting FINAL FANTASY XIV. (6d)" error before? asking for a friend if anyone knows a fix would be nice to know cheers
They will either go into Red or Blue first.
Thats easy
I go "????"
Check what light goes into it
Just be in the opposite line.

so fulmination is the easiest?
There isn't really an easiest.
They all are vastly different mechanics
So easy will be subjective for some people
So if you are purple you'll stand in the white line if your white you'll stand in the purple line and the portals will be just the same as the first set.
@rare sable check what portal light goes into. If you know light is red and you're black, you go to red portal...if you know light is red and you're white, you go to blue
Very simple
The portals at the back always spawn in the same arrangement, red on left, blue on right
squints
loading....
If;
- w debuff - stand on black path (take note of portal color)
- debuff becomes b - stand on opposite up portal color (cause its going to spat w stream)
?__?
basically. For normal I just kind of think of it like:
- I'm starting with white, let me get hit with black
- I'll need white after, which portal is white going into?
Where can i see how many bicolor gemstones i have?
Travel menu > Shared FATE
Or also you can check the vendors if you're lazy
Hey everyone, could someone tell me how to add a third hotbar please ?
thanks, i was looking in currency
Go to the HUD menu, click on the hotbar 3 (right click I believe and it will activate the bar for you to see
thanks !

Hey so I am playing AST and I'm noticing that the cards are slightly different than they use to be from when I played AST? Now they don't seem to give atkspd or inc dmg or dmg reduction they all just give more damage. Is that right or am I like stuck in some old version of AST somehow?
Yes that is correct
they changed how AST works in ShB timeline.
They all are now range or melee cards.
Balance, Spear, and Arrow are melee cards, and Bole, Spire, and I can't think of the last one are ranged cards
Is there some FFLogs expert that can help me?
You can give cards to anyone, but if you give a ranged card to a melee the increase is just less.
So it is ideal to give them their cards based on their role.
Ahh ok I understand now. So no more raid wide dmg buffs everyeon
Correct
I'm dissapointed in the change personally. I switched to WHM because of it.
Only raid wide damage buff astro has is divination
Yeah
But the amount is based on the seals, so you'd need a lunar, solar, and celestial seal to get the max damange increase for Divination
Which you'll very easily get by the time it's up again...unless rng extremely hates you or you accidentally over ride seals
Only the divination where the.fight start might have less than ideal seals
I just hit level 35 as Marauder and the game is telling me that I can take the next class quest. But it's not at the Marauder's guild. Where is it?
Costa del sol
Kk. Ty
Woth curious gorge as your warrior tutor
Probably with curious George in hidden falls
Your scenario tracker should also be displaying your job quest
I don't see the quest on my scenario tracker (only the next main story quest) and there aren't any quests in costa del sol 😦
Have you equipped your soul crystal
The thing your lv30 quest gave you
Cause yoy aint a marauder anymore after 30
I didn't get a soul crystal
Did you even do your lv30 job quest
Yes. I beat the mountain or whatever
Then you have it
Check your soul crystal tab in the armoury chest
It's empty
Are Factory Coin an automatic drop for everyone after doing the Factory raid or is it something u need to roll for??
I haven't done much of the main story if that's a factor in this
Automatic
If you completed the slyph management main story, which is lv25 ish then you should have a quest somewhere
@faint flare i cant seem to find it in my inventory, weird
Oh, okay. Haven't done that then
If you dont have a slot open in your inventory you'll lose the coin
Thanks 🙂
yeah you also need msq level 25
Once you've done slyph management job quests open up
And you can get your warrior kit
is there a channel on this discord where i can look for a group for some EX trials?
we have recruitment channels
okay cool, thank you :D
Lore question. Among conjurers, how "common" the spell Esuna is?
Do I need to be a crafter to overmeld my gear?

you need to have a crafter leveled but you don't need to be on the crafting job to overmeld
If you dont level crafters, you need to ask someone who has to overmeld for you via request meld
Yo, does it matter which grand company i choose?
For cosmetic reasons only I think
any place online i can see the benefits of each GC?
Answer: none
How do you go into picture mode
Or... Glamour
I forgot
There is a way
But these idiots in-game are saying just use screenshot
When there is a picture mode
it’s driving me insane
Does anyone know?
@leaden ginkgo /gpose
@forest laurel Thank you, and different poses?
./cpose
changes your pose when idle and when sitting (on chairs and on ground)
for example I always have this pose when I'm idle
and don't forget, /gpose uses the last action you did. i.e. if you're a WHM and you cast Cure before g-posing, then the repeated animation will be Cure's.
if you wanna reset it to the idle one, make sure you sit before you gpose
who is this Jade Corele person lol
shes always in limsa lominsa
in the same spot
is this an NPC?
not sure who you're talking about, but I assume it's just a player
If their name is green then they're are
Some people just have particular spots like afkibg
yeah
like this is a multiboxer i figured but shes ALWAYS here. i play a lot and dungeon grind alt jobs and shes here all day
never moving
like vinyl said, if it's green, it's NPC
if it's blue, it's a player
Some people have weird afk habits
There's some servers that have a guy in ridiculous glamour dancing 24/7 everyday without fail
And other silly dumb studd
Just limsa being limsa
If you change your FC's GC allegiance, does the npc you talk to to manage it change places, too?

Do plots/houses that are scheduled to be demolished get demolished at daily reset, or at any point during the day? Trying to gauge the usefulness of checking for empty plots several times a day vs. one time a day.
id say thats a moot point when you consider the cooldown timer
yeah
the time a plot becomes available is delayed by a randomized timer
in theory plots that have been empty longer are more likely to become available soon
but there's no good way to track that
once a day is probably fine if you want to keep tabs on open plots. theres either a mega low chance or none at all that it'll be gone within like a day
best way to track is probably to check the timer on the placard
and also consider the price
If you already have a house and are looking to upgrade or move though you can relocate and skip the timer
and... the rank of the price... or whatever
But yeah if you don't already have a house you're fine just checking once a day at any time because of the timers
someone know the name of the sets of shiva glamour in e8?
can i materia meld hp onto armor as white mage? i rmemeber i did it back with titan as i was dyeing ofte but now i can pnly put piety?
everything that gets to 10% others one shot me in trials and raid is unfair
is there a trade-in NPC for the mainstat materia?
Cause you're meant to be using raid mitigation
to my knowledge the only way to get rid of it is by selling it or using it in fusion
so i dhield only myself?
@junior yacht im sorry, fusion?
uh
Transmation
yeah that
Transmutation
keep in mind there will never be any new main stat materia
You can combine 5 materia into a new one and sometimes get a higher grade materia
some people might pay a large amount of gil just for the novelty of it
meh
they're collector's items now :V
yeah, i might just hang on to them...
Just sell them
why the hell not. just like those totems from 1.0 so you could fight primals
They're literally useless
no u 
i like JET's far more impractical notion of value
everything is worth exactly what people are willing to pay for it 
@faint flare ok so to increas emy hp i either keep upgraidng gear or shield myself suck it up
cause often when im jsut at minium ilevel for a new encounter everythign is one shot mechanic almost
espectially after i die once with debuff
In raids everyone should be using raid mitigation to reduce aoe damage
Nothing should one shot you
Unless you fail a mechanic
Then thats on you
Using food gives you abit of extra hp
oh that might help some
Might give you a few thousand more hp
which one? is there any inexpensive or vendor one
Highest food you can get
Vendor food is pretty much since its normal quality and kinda low food
i jsut feel abit bad i died 11 times on ruby weapon still we made it
i am just ilevel 455
When you learn the mechanics and dont get vulns you wont die
Normal modes dont really do any threatening damage
Unless you fail mechanics and get vulns
i first died on that stand-in the sand thign i almost made it and thne i had debuff and later most those aoe hit me for alot
Weakness/Near Death only reduce the damage/healing you do, it doesn’t make you take more damage
^
Thank god it doesn't anymore
Hated old weakness
(it gave you less hp but basically somewhat similar)
How do i get totems for hw's primal gear?
By beating the extreme version of the fight
Guaranteed drop?
yes you always receive a totem when you kill
just need to make sure your inventory is clear since it automatically drops into it
Hey, i am on Lich / light / Looking for Hunt Link Shells. Please Let me know if you know any. Ingame Name Laikora Bliceheart

whats some beast tribe with nice/funny rewrds? i just got my flyning elephtn and wonder what to do next
but have no hand discipline leveled so i cant do all right
noc rafting either
You can do the Pixies if you are into Shadowbringers.
sunlift/moondrop dances from HW tribes count as funny i guess?
The Qitari beast tribe (also in ShB) have the
mount, I think.
which is gathering
and they said they don't have it leveled (as i assume they meant land since they say no crafting either)
Oh, I missed that part.
Hello friends, I need help. First time playing FFxiv, when I play a mmo the first time I go thro everything. Anyway everything I looked up stated I could get a mount at lvl 20, (btw lvl 22 Ul dah), cant get the quest for the whistle. Do i need to join a guild or w/e its called in ff, I cant get the quest from Swift?! Need help thanks!!
You need to do the lvl 20 main scenario quest that has you join a grand company
You need to do the MSQ
through the point where you select a Grand Company to join, then complete the
My Little Chocobo
so while your level may be 20, if you're not far enough along in the msq then you'll just have to continue with that
gotcha gotcha thanks all!!!
So Glamour plates, they seem to be resetting. I click on [Glamour plate1] Then I apply and update on the job/class I want to save my glamour to!
But then I go to do the same thing on another job/class for [Glamour plate 2] and apply and update it does keep the glamour however it won't once I've swapped back to the other job/class I've got [Glamour plate 1] on.
And no, before you say "can you even use this glamour or is it the right level etc" Yes I have checked. Because all the glamours work for all job/classes they just don't save
I will go back and check it out, I know where it might be.
If the jobs are in the same gear category (e.g. Scholar and White Mage), and you have the same equipped gear saved to both sets, you're overwriting the glamours by doing that.
To be sure, can you explain a little better what your problem is though? Are the glamour plate sets not saving or are you not seeing the plates applied correctly?
We figured out! You can do it by overriding it's called "Linking glamour plates to classes" button.
Ty though
Hey everyone, I created a new char on a new server so I bought the ARR story skip to not redo it, i'm leveling my char and am currently level 44 but I have terrible gear
Is there a place where I can buy some cheap ?
cause I've got like level 15 gear, level 1 rings etc
Main-city marketplaces have level 1-49 gear
You can try taking a look on the marketboard and see if there’s any generous listings of equipment there
alright, thanks !
following back up on the question i asked a while ago: i do have a house, and i am relocating, and that totally explains why i haven't seen a hidden timer on any of the houses even though i've seen people standing there 😛
so it might actually make sense for me to check more often than one day
Autodemolish is its own timer AFAIK
meaning it could happen at any point?
Yep
not an important question... but just curious... why are some names red and some names green in the residential listings?
That shows which house is open to visitors or not iirc
gotcha
Can someone help me? i cant access my level 52 ninja skill. currently 56
Have you done the job quest
oboro wont give me it
yeah being in heavensward is important
To get thw quest
i just finished realm reborn
You need to have started the heavensward story to unlock the level 50-60 job quests
Then you got a looooooong way to go
lol damn really
OOF
Not all good
5.3 is gonna cut the length down but that's a long way to go
since iirc it's coming out in June
ah ok. so just keep pushing msq. got it. thanks!
yeah

does hiring a second retainer give me a second set of inventory for them like the first? Or is that space tied to both of them
any use for clear demimateria III besides just selling?
And each have their own 20 slots to post on the market board
Clear demimateria is purely vendor fodder
yay money
No more GC leves after Mor Dhona?
I assume you're doing it while you wait for dungeons or something?
is there a command to dismount
i’m on one of the stormblood duties and it won’t let me off my mount that it starts me on
i’ve restarted it two or three times
there's a dedicated dismount button on the pet hotbar if it's a quest mount
