mellow wagon
#

Is this automatic for everyone or bind to a button

#

dont feel good without saying anything

open coral
#

No, anything written in chat is either typed manually or sometimes macroed.

obsidian patio
#

If you mean at the start of the duty I think most people either type them out or use a macro to put it in

mellow wagon
#

im sure it's macroed

open coral
#

You can write a simple greeting macro or use the one in the Macros option in the System menu.

mellow wagon
#

these guys type it all on the same time

open coral
#

If it's just o/ then that takes all of two second to type

forest laurel
#

yeah I just personally write "hi o/" and that's it

mellow wagon
#

whats o/

open coral
#

I have an autotranslate greeting/farewell macro for my Japanese server toon, but everywhere else I just o/

forest laurel
#

it's a wave

open coral
#

o/ is like a person waving

#

Or alternately o7 is a salute

mellow wagon
#

ooh i get it

#

How do i macro stuff lol

open coral
#

Go into the System menu and down to the option "User Macros"

#

That will open up the Macro interface.

mellow wagon
#

yeah im setting up some messages

#

But dont know how to activate them later

open coral
#

Just put them on your action bars

oak ice
#

Drag them to a hotbar and click

open coral
#

And use them like any other action.

mellow wagon
#

ooh they can be put on action bar

#

alright thanks

ancient smelt
#

if i have the miner at 80 which gathering i should level (something efficient in cost for lvl/and earn at 80)

sinful breach
#

level up the rest of your gathering jobs, it doesn't take that much effort

ancient smelt
#

wait sorry

#

i mean which crafter i should level

#

sorry im stupid

wintry chasm
#

The thing with crafters is if you want to be efficient you want to do all of them

sinful breach
#

all of them lol its much more efficient since you will be sharing most of the gear if they're at the same level

wintry chasm
#

They all make materials that each crafter needs

#

For example of you want to make a robe as a weaver you might need some leathers from leatherworker, some goldsmith metals, and maybe some alchemist stuff to make some of the materials

#

You can't just do one crafter unless you use Ishgard restoration from level 25-80 and even then at level 80 you can't do anything with it without spending loads on materials you could have crafted if you got the others to max too

sinful breach
#

also leveling up crafters has been made much easier than before so yeah, go for all of them

ancient smelt
#

any tips for the start

#

or anyone is good?

forest laurel
#

wdym exactly

ancient smelt
#

wdym?

forest laurel
#

well what kind of tips are you looking for exactly

#

like which job to pick?

ancient smelt
#

wich crafter to pick for for level

wintry chasm
#

We just said

ancient smelt
#

i understand to be efficient 100% i will need all

wintry chasm
#

Then it doesn't matter then Black

#

Honestly I wouldn't do each crafter to 80 then move to the next one

#

I'd literally keep with them within the same level range

ancient smelt
#

but i dont think i will level all crafter,i think it will takes too long

wintry chasm
#

That way you can make better gear when you need to

#

Also it really isn't that long Black

#

Getting them all to level 50 only takes a few days

#

It's that quick

sinful breach
#

probably can get them in a day if you do leves and gc turn ins

oak ice
#

Yeah, it takes longer to get them to 50 than to 80, because you unlock so many sources of EXP along the way

wintry chasm
#

Mmmm

wintry chasm
#

Also if you want to do crafting, you really should level botanist too

#

Diadem is coming out soon which is probably going to be a really good leveling experience

ancient smelt
#

i have the miner at 80 do you think i need level BTN too?

wintry chasm
#

That is what I said yes

ancient smelt
#

ok

wintry chasm
#

Botanist is just as important as miner

#

It's just fisher that isn't really important since no one uses fish really outside certain culinarian recipes

leaden ginkgo
#

Ocean Fishing is fun though! 😄

dawn mountain
#

are the duty followers restricted to 70/80?

#

the ones i unlock in shadowbringers

onyx kiln
#

is every item that i can get through the DoL jobs in this list or is there some that are hidden untill you find them?

cursive sand
#

what's the hunt tracker site that everyone uses nowdays?

wintry chasm
#

@dawn mountain yes

#

@onyx kiln there are some books you get with scrips that unlock extra nodes but that is most of them yes

onyx kiln
#

do i need to find those hidden items to get the achivment "I Found That: Botanist VI"? it requires me to discover 280 items that can only be gatherd as a botanist

cursive sand
#

I think you need to complete the gathering log

#

so gather one thing once

wintry chasm
#

280....god I didn't even know there were that many items

#

But yeah probably

onyx kiln
#

not recipes, but induvidual items

wintry chasm
#

Yeah I corrected myself

onyx kiln
#

okay

#

but yeah, got a lot from the ARR areas but ignored a lot from the HW areas and forward as i only did levequests there and to where i am now

cursive sand
#

I leveled my mining from 30 to 70 just by turning in daily to the GC deliveries

onyx kiln
#

the only time i ever done those was if i ever happend to carry the needed item at the time

cursive sand
#

I just buy them from the market

#

get the HQ items and the reward doubles

onyx kiln
#

need to save money so that is not a option for me

cursive sand
#

it was really cheap

#

the road to 70 buff helped like mad

#

getting like 10 levels

#

in one go

onyx kiln
#

sadly i don't have that buff

cursive sand
#

then at 50 I also did the custom deliveries

#

and colectables

leaden ginkgo
#

can anyone advise on how we should proceed with the raids? my friend and i finished all the normal eden raids and we want to try savage. Do we just watch the youtube guide and then queue in?

#

we've been in resurrection queue for an hour though, is it just not popular?

tight grotto
#

try party finder @leaden ginkgo

#

oh do you mean E1S?

#

people are doing E5S now, the next tier

#

you'll have to ask around or PF if you want to try the first tier of savage fights

young fjord
#

"Correct" way to farm crystals is to just spam twelves bounty and giving land?

leaden ginkgo
#

i only see E1-4S

tight grotto
#

unlock E5N by doing the raid story

#

then finish that tier on normal and savage'll open up

#

you have to talk to an NPC in mord souq first and ask for ryne's report

#

it's the assistant guy

leaden ginkgo
#

i did that.

tight grotto
#

do you have E5N unlocked?

leaden ginkgo
tight grotto
#

you don't have to do E1-4S to unlock anything

leaden ginkgo
#

im not very clear on the numbers

#

but we did all the gates and verses

tight grotto
#

okay you have e1-8N

#

you need to

#

go to high-end duty

#

on the right

#

the current savage raid tier is there

leaden ginkgo
#

ohhh, i see

open coral
#

To clarify on the numbers: E1-4 are the Eden's Gate instances. E5-8 are the Verse instances, and E9-12 will be the last set.

leaden ginkgo
#

thank you!

tight grotto
#

so you want to do fulmination, kiss

#

either pf or df

#

good luck and have fun

odd bobcat
#

how do i unlock palace of the dead

oblique crown
#

do you not get 3 bonus daily quests when reaching sworn as opposed to other ranks? its vanu vanu tribe

open coral
#

@odd bobcat There is a bluequest in Quarrymill at level... 15 I think.

forest laurel
#

isn't it in New Gridania? at level 17

open coral
#

Uh... maybe? I thought it actually started in Quarrymill.

wintry chasm
#

Starts as Seenoc said

#

Adventurer guild in New Gridania "The House that Death Built"

forest laurel
#

just double checked, it is
"The House That Death Built"
given by Nojiro Marujiro

mellow wagon
#

Haven't seen any jap people

#

or maybe they dont use jap names

forest laurel
#

could you not use j*p, that's a slur

mellow wagon
#

wait what

open coral
#

If you want to refer to Japanese players, please use either JP or JPN

forest laurel
#

j*p is a slur from WW2, that's all I'll say

open coral
#

^

mellow wagon
#

ooh alright sorry

forest laurel
#

no worries

mellow wagon
#

been calling jp people jap when im referring to them

#

I've seen a couple people on twitter use the term

open coral
#

There's a whole very negative history there that isn't taught because it's Negative American History.

forest laurel
#

but yeah I mean you're playing in an EU data centre so I don't see why there would be ppl using Japanese characters on their names

mellow wagon
#

and they look like they're ok people

forest laurel
#

wouldn't it only be possible in a JP data centre or in a JP version of the game?

mellow wagon
#

because in the chat during duty i always see japanese text

open coral
#

No. All names use the Roman alphabet.

forest laurel
#

Even in the JP version of the game?

mellow wagon
#

but their names are very western

forest laurel
#

that's weird

open coral
#

Yep

#

Player names are standardized

mellow wagon
#

so i first thought they're just bots

#

but i dont even know if they have bots in the game

open coral
#

Character names might be written in katakana for the JP client, but I don't know for sure.

mellow wagon
#

literally some guy named Sean Austin joined the duty and he typed something in japanese letters

open coral
#

But you can actually see it if you watch the Netflix show "Dad of Light". The gameplay footage was "filmed" using the Japanese game client.

mellow wagon
#

at the start od the duty

whole wasp
#

you can type japanese letters in the normal client by pressing ctrl+space

mellow wagon
#

But you can actually see it if you watch the Netflix show "Dad of Light". The gameplay footage was "filmed" using the Japanese game client.
@open coral wdym

open coral
#

The show "Dad of Light" on Netflix is based (loosely) on a blog by a Japanese player Maidy Maidy about how he got his father into FFXIV. The show is half live action, and half in-game XIV. The in-game parts were "filmed" with the actual players manipulating their characters in the game.

mellow wagon
#

you mean some show in netflix used a footage of the game in their show?

open coral
#

No, they made unique footage, not just gameplay.

mellow wagon
#

ooh alright

#

based of a real story or not

open coral
#

Based on a real story

#

Some liberties taken for drama purposes.

#

Like, the reason he actually got his dad into the game was not only because his dad was retiring and needed something to do with his newfound free time. It was actually because... he wanted the 2 player chocobo mount that was being introduced into the game.

mellow wagon
#

yeah dramatization are common

wintry chasm
#

Aura that is gameplay though not footage...unless you mean the unique camera angles? @open coral

open coral
#

It was in-game footage. They "filmed" using the actual game.

odd bobcat
#

what is progres bar?

open coral
#

What's the context?

wintry chasm
#

Crafting?

odd bobcat
#

hud

#

im looking into what hotbar is the one that show enemy cast

#

and what is cross hotbar

open coral
#

Cross hotbar is the controller default hotbars.

#

Instead of being lines, it's four crosses set up like ++ ++

onyx kiln
#

You don't get a item in your botanist log checked of if you buy them right? you have to find it in the wild?

oak ice
#

Correct

onyx kiln
#

do i need to do something to make it easeir to find hidden items like seeds or is that all RNG?

rare sable
#

There would be skill for it later

#

At lvl 55 though would need hq chain 2

onyx kiln
#

naturally is it the one skill i was about to get in the questline before taking a break from it

leaden ginkgo
#

So I've been thinking of mapping skills for my samurai class, stuff like the aoe's and using a macro for it, but how would I go about doing this on FFXIV? All i see is a textbox to enter /commands but i don't see a command for Fuga etc

faint flare
#
  1. dont ever macro GCD skills, its a terrible idea and massive dps lost

  2. /ac "Skill name"

leaden ginkgo
#

What do you mean DPS lost? I'm just trying to link the skills together so it takes only one space on the hotbar instead of two, and link them like they should be

#

I'm not linking the skills that give Ka, just the AOE's

faint flare
#

!faq marcos

zinc orbitBOT
#
Error!

No tag named marcos exists, Kupo!

faint flare
#

!faq macro

zinc orbitBOT
#
Information

Did you mean:

macrogcd
dsmacro
pldmacros
saltedmacro

faint flare
#

Bah

#

But anyway

#

Macroing skills means you cannoy que them

whole wasp
#

!faq macrogcd

zinc orbitBOT
faint flare
#

Thanks

#

Watch that

#

Macroing skills means you cant que them anymore, meaning it wont fire off the moment ots available

leaden ginkgo
#

So basically using the macro would make Fuga happen but it's second link skill won't happen?

whole wasp
#

what it does is makes it come out slower

faint flare
#

And waits only work in whole seconds, so you're losing 0.5seconds everytime you try to combo

#

Whixh adds up fast

whole wasp
#

imagine doing fuga, oka, fuga, mangetsu

#

macroing those 4, you could have already be casting goken if you pressed normally

leaden ginkgo
#

I understand now, it makes shit comes out slower, yeah cool

whole wasp
#

eventually that adds up

leaden ginkgo
#

Can't afford time waste as a sam

faint flare
#

Yep, especially as your job is to do dps

#

Trying to press less buttons wont ever make you do more dps

open coral
#

99% of the time you do not want to macro queue skills. Especially if you're dps.

faint flare
#

Only real acceptable macros are Raise macros to.call out who you're raising and occasional <t> macros for ground aoes

leaden ginkgo
#

ShB: solo or DF dungeons?

open coral
#

Either/or

faint flare
#

And targetting macros for stuff like Shirk and dragon sight

open coral
#

If you're tank/healer, then DF. If you're dps, then solo.

leaden ginkgo
#

That's a great system honestly

odd bobcat
#

what bar on hud shows

#

the enemy cast ?

#

time

faint flare
#

Target bar

#

If you have the target bar unsplit

#

Also focus target bar shows it as well if you focus target as well

#

Enemy lisy also shows casts

odd bobcat
#

i wanted only the boss on the enemy i was focusing

#

and what is progress bar

faint flare
#

Use focus target

#

Progress bar is your cast bar

odd bobcat
#

can i split focus target bar?

faint flare
#

Uhh not to my knowledge

gritty oracle
#

Can you do all SHB dungeons with trusts? I have bad lag and don't trust (heh) myself to play with real people.

odd bobcat
#

@faint flare so what you meant by unsplit target bva

whole wasp
#

yes you can, the MSQ ones. msq that is

faint flare
#

You can split the normal target

#

Into hp, their cast and buffs/debuffs

open coral
#

All of the dungeons for ShB are on Trust.

gritty oracle
#

Ah, thanks!

faint flare
#

Except twining and the other one

#

Iirc

#

Cause they're not msq

open coral
#

I'm pretty sure those are Trust-able as well. Although I don't recall if you can do them as such before you complete them normally

odd bobcat
#

@faint flare how

#

?

whole wasp
#

nope, not trust-able

faint flare
#

Hud layout > select the target bar > press the cog

whole wasp
#

they dont show up

open coral
#

I thought they'd been added.

#

Maybe not though.

gritty oracle
#

why is Thancred the only tank

open coral
#

I haven't touched trusts in awhile.

faint flare
#

Cause he is the only tank

open coral
#

Because everyone else is either a healer or dps

#

He's a pretty good tank though

faint flare
#

Robe boy is only temporary as you do it the first time

#

For.holmensiter and cosmos

open coral
#

Just make sure to keep Ryne also in the Trust too, or else Thancred won't use any of his mana-bullet abilities.

odd bobcat
#

why i canot sent messages to other peoplke?

open coral
#

Are you on the free trial?

odd bobcat
#

nowpe

#

Message to Foxy RinoaCactuar could not be sent.

#

but i only have the base game @open coral

whole wasp
#

If they are in a duty or in another server, you cannot message them

faint flare
#

Reply with like alt +r

gritty oracle
#

I think they're offline. Idt you can DM to offline people

leaden ginkgo
#

question

faint flare
#

Or shift r

gritty oracle
#

wait you can't pm people who are in a duty?

open coral
#

Nope

faint flare
#

Nope

whole wasp
#

Nope

odd bobcat
#

what

faint flare
#

Cause code

open coral
#

You can't use a majority of social features while in a duty either.

odd bobcat
#

does not make any sense

whole wasp
#

they can still see FC chat etc but /tell dont work

open coral
#

Like you can't access your friends list or FC interface.

leaden ginkgo
#

In stormblood ||Susano's|| fight there's a marker which has four directional pad like arrows that focus on you, do you have to stack every player inside that gigantic marker or something

#

a player typed XD in the chat rather then be helpful

open coral
#

Yes.

faint flare
#

Probably cause the instance server is different than normal servers

leaden ginkgo
#

cool thanks

open coral
#

Stack for inward arrows.

#

It splits damage

whole wasp
#

That mechanic first shows up when you fight nidhogg

odd bobcat
#

so i canot talk with people from other servers?

leaden ginkgo
#

I didn't notice it

open coral
#

You can

faint flare
#

You can from other servers, just not if they're in an instance

odd bobcat
#

i canot even send friend request

#

what is instance

leaden ginkgo
#

like nidhogg fucking died before i saw a mechanic like that, i didn't even unsync for that fight either

whole wasp
#

you have to world visit them to friend request iirc

open coral
#

You can't send a friend request to someone who is currently on a different world than you.

whole wasp
#

instance means inside a dungeon/raid or solo duty

faint flare
#

He does it with Akh morn

leaden ginkgo
#

but im glad i know that mechanic now, thanks

#

that was a great primal fight

faint flare
#

And akh.morn is the first thing he does after entering the final phase

odd bobcat
#

so how do i know there servers?

open coral
#

And then everyone moves after the first Akh Morn hit

#

And everyone dies

whole wasp
#

if you know their name, you can look them up in lodestone

open coral
#

You can tell a person's server by what comes after the * in their name.

#

So the person you were trying to message is on Cactuar server.

leaden ginkgo
#

Name (Twitania) in the brackets is the server for example

gritty oracle
#

I first saw stack mechanics on the level 60 RDM solo instance. I was wondering wtf it was and had to be told by X'rhun to haul my ass inside.

open coral
#

You'll see names as (for example): Aura Astra * Excalibur

#

Every expansion introduces at least one new type of mechanic

#

ShB has so far introduced at least two.

oak ice
#

Which two?

whole wasp
#

the arrow outwards like a star

open coral
#

"Follow" arrow and the red tankbuster arrow.

oak ice
#

Titty's vines are from mist dragon, and the spinny arrow was in O12S, I think

open coral
#

What

oak ice
#

Oh, wait, you mean that one

open coral
#

I'm talking about the one from Engels

#

And E8

oak ice
#

It's the same mechanic as on CoD, you just get to see it following you

open coral
#

Yeah, I guess "new unique mechanic markers" would be a better way to put it

#

Was the red tankbuster arrow (also first noticed on Engels) really in O12S?

oak ice
#

I meant the spinny arrow that is on the second boss in Malikah's, for example

#

I misread what you meant with the following arrow

open coral
#

Yeah, not that one. We've seen that one a few times before.

#

Shows up in the warfront dungeon which name escapes me right now

#

Ghymlyt Dark

thick bolt
#

is their like a place I can go to to see what I should buy to level my DoH leveling?

can i move hotbars with keybinds to make more precise?

lyric warren
#

what lvl are the beast tribe dailies (what job lvl to use for lvling while also doing the dailies) ?

whole wasp
#

if you click character -> reputation. you can see all the beast tribes

#

ARR 41->50, HW 50-60, SB 60-70, ShB 70-80

lyric warren
#

do all of the quest scale?

whole wasp
#

HW,SB and ShB do but ARR do not

wintry chasm
#

The ARR Ixal beast tribe does crafting and they start at basically level 1 for crafting but the quests where there are combat sections have you fighting level 40~ enemies

#

It's a bit weird

whole wasp
#

ARR Ixal beast tribes also require combat even though they are crafter quests

wintry chasm
#

mmm

jaunty jay
#

I dont recall combat for those. I could just use stealth on my miner/botanist to get to the node back then

wintry chasm
#

One of them for example has you fighting an Opo-Opo

dawn mountain
#

Can you somehow make your trust group members do more aoe? they are fine and all but pulling 2 at a time and they dont seem to be doing much aoe

wintry chasm
#

No

leaden ginkgo
#

Nah they just only aoe since they don't have standard job rotations

whole wasp
#

trusts go by a timer system

leaden ginkgo
#

Urianger although will occasionally delete a low health enemy tho

whole wasp
#

if they are going too fast, they slow down DPS, if they are going too slow, they use big spells

#

the goal seems to be 20 minute runs

leaden ginkgo
#

I would imagine it's like that so as to not make Duty Finder leveling to be completely barren

dawn mountain
#

I took Alphinaud because he is a cutie blobscree

leaden ginkgo
#

But that's off topic soo

undone nova
#

What’s the best time to do trials? Been sitting around trying to get whorleater done but seems like I might be trying at a quiet time

rough anchor
forest laurel
#

that's a sightseeing location iirc

hybrid hamlet
#

approach it and do /pray or /lookout

whole wasp
#

the one in Kugane is tough

lyric warren
#

can u buy a entry lvl 80 wep with phantasmagoria

whole wasp
#

yes but you still need the item from doing e4n 4 times

leaden ginkgo
#

Yes but you need 4 tomestones from Eden: Sepulture

oak ice
#

You would have to do E4N 4 times to get that weapon

leaden ginkgo
#

As well as the tomestone of Phantasmagoria

lyric warren
#

ah

leaden ginkgo
#

So you WILL have to do content with either a crafted Marketboard weapon or stick with your Artifact weapon till then

rose rose
#

Do you get a DF penalty if you leave while someone is disconnected?

fresh lodge
#

Yes

leaden ginkgo
#

where is the golden saucer? i did the quest but i dont remember where to go

wintry chasm
#

If you didn't attune to the aetheryte in the gold saucer you can get to it via airship travel in Ul'dah.

leaden ginkgo
#

OH ty cali

lyric warren
#

are all quests in norvrandt that isnt locked at 80 scale from 70-80?

you won't get any more allegory if you're at your cap

random warren

plague doctors is from the patch 3.1 dungeons

saint mociannes arboretum

#

and pharos sirius Hard

thorn yoke
#

3.1 so after heavensward main quest?

twilit arch
#

you can unlock them once you complete the main scenario quest "Heavensward", 3.1 is just when they came out

<@&473626701947994134> Alrighty, I played as a Lalafell Pugilist up to around level 16 last summer with the free trial. This upcoming spring I really want to actual pay for the subscription service, buy Shadowbringers, and start entirely over from square 1.
You probably get this question a lot, but what's the best piece of advice you can give for someone who's fresh to FF14 and MMOs as a whole?

little swift
#

focus on msq and bluequest

#

and take your time

#

bluequest mainly for your class/job quests and new dungeon stuff

#

but side unlocks like glamour as well come from there

#

so why are you not continuing your trial?

#

oh and also if you do plan to start from scratch choose a world with a ⭐ next to the name of it

solid wadi
#

I can use the trial again?

little swift
#

double exp from all sources up to lvl70 on a all classes

#

trial doesn't expire

#

it just limits you to lvl 35

solid wadi
#

PogU I didnt know, that's dope

little swift
#

and base game only on classes/jobs

wintry chasm
#

Well

#

If you buy the game and start over again the trial doesn't continue

little swift
#

im assuming they haven't bought yet

#

but yes

wintry chasm
#

But they said they wanted to buy the game and start from scratch?

little swift
#

im reading that as wanted but haven't yet 🤷

solid wadi
#

Nope, I havent bought the game yet, but I'd be able to buy it and start over right?

little swift
#

yes

wintry chasm
#

mmmm

solid wadi
#

Nice nice, that's what I want to do

little swift
#

but you can make use of your trial still if you want because you haven't registered a game code to your account

solid wadi
#

Oh, alrighty, I'll do that first

wintry chasm
#

Why do you want to start from scratch anyway?

solid wadi
#

Also, do I have to complete Shadowbringers to play as a Hrothgar? I wanna play as the great value Ronso

wintry chasm
#

No

#

You just need to own it

solid wadi
#

Im still hazy on the starting from scratch part. I didnt know you can use the trial up to level 35

#

What content does that cover? Is base FF14 up to level 35?

wintry chasm
#

Base game is up to level 50

#

So level 35 just about gets you a good way into the base basegame story and you get your job at level 30

#

Just FYI the free trial lets you get all the classes to level 35

#

Not just the one you start with

solid wadi
#

Im still a little confused on how classes/jobs work. Do you just change your equipment and that changes your class/job as well?

little swift
#

your class is based on what weapon you have equipped

#

and job stones give it the job

#

lots of gear is shared between classes based on role

solid wadi
#

So it's only based on the weapon you have equipped?

little swift
#

and job stone

#

for example your pugilist will become the monk job

#

with its job stone equipped

solid wadi
#

Interesting, and all you do to get a new class/job is just go to whatever guild is giving it out and initiate the quests to get them?

wintry chasm
#

Yes

#

Basically

dreamy frost
#

Do I need to be a particular race to jion a particular Free company?

wintry chasm
#

No

solid wadi
#

Like, I think Pugilist is cool, but I saw Gunbreaker stuff recently and that looks amazing

wintry chasm
#

Free Companies are just player guilds

#

Expansion jobs you just need to meet the requirements. They are standalone so you don't actually need to level up any specific class to unlock them @solid wadi

dreamy frost
#

No, horde vs alliance

#

then

wintry chasm
#

No

#

This isn't WoW

dreamy frost
#

awesome!

wintry chasm
#

@solid wadi So for Gunbreaker you just need to own Shadowbringers and hit level 60 and you can unlock it in Gridania and it starts at level 60 too

solid wadi
#

Alrighty, im gonna use the trial and play up to the 35 cap, and THEN I'll get the actual game

#

Tyty for the advice

ionic venture
#

First of all thanks for all that helpful info! Just got my free trial and just wondering if all classes are easily viable solo? I haven’t found a whole lot of info but Paladin or white mage are the better options? With starting out aswell

wintry chasm
#

They are all fine

pine snow
#

can you select someone who you are not in a party with to heal?

wintry chasm
#

DPS get much longer dungeon queues though since more people play that than the other roles

silk summit
#

Any class will be fine, tanks and healers get faster dungeon queues, that's all.

forest laurel
#

@pine snow yeah I've done that many times

wintry chasm
#

^

pine snow
#

how so?

silk summit
#

You can heal people not in your party, but there's some skills that will only work on players in your party

wintry chasm
#

What control scheme?

pine snow
#

im literally like level 7

wintry chasm
#

Also what Kalim said

pine snow
#

contoller

#

so I may not have a non party heal

wintry chasm
#

Cure would do

pine snow
#

I have cure

#

then I dont know how to select others

silk summit
#

Dpad should do it.

wintry chasm
#

I forget how the targeting on controller works by default since I have mine on custom but I know you can target non player characters when your weapon isn't out. L1+dpad might work but I'm not sure.

leaden ginkgo
#

hey guys , am lvl warrior and was wondering since im very close to finishing story (about 20 quests away) what gear am i suppose to get? i started buying neo ishgardian on marketplace but what happens after? should i stop and invest in future gear(thats not neo ish) im interested in best gear? etc

forest laurel
#

never played with controller, but I think this might be of help @pine snow

proud willow
#

No need to buy crafted to jump into endgame gearing, unless you want to speed it up

slate arrow
#

Crafted gear is basically "are you lazy" and "do you have gil"

leaden ginkgo
#

so dumb question but what am i exactly looking for in terms of gear? does it drop in raids?

#

Neo Ishgardian is just to speed up for gear to 480 ilvl the stuff you usually want is a mix of neo ishgardian and eden verse raid loot for ilvl 480 and allegory tome upgrades for ilvl 490 and that's about as far as you can go if you don't plan to do any current content Extreme Trials or Savage raids

wintry chasm
#

You're looking for higher ilvl and yes raids, dungeons, etc give you them

#

Also you can spend your level 80 phantasmagoria and allegory tomestones for gear too

leaden ginkgo
#

and if i want to do extreme and savge what do i need

#

lmao

#

ty so much for answering u two

#

well 4* XP

wintry chasm
#

Depends on the fight

#

The game will tell if you have enough

#

It won't let you in otherwise

#

So I'd just go through the game and actually have a look when you're done

silk summit
#

Speaking of dumb questions, does anyone know if you can remove the free teleport location if you have to remove the security token from your account? My phone bit the dust and I really don't want to see the "you much have a security token registered to have a free teleport" every time I go to Eulmore.

leaden ginkgo
#

ok ty cali!

#

^^

wintry chasm
#

Good question....

#

Have you tried selecting the option at the aetheryte and see what happens?

silk summit
#

Yeah it just says the same thing, there's no options to just remove it.

#

I can deal with it and I'll get it back once I get a new phone, it's just annoying.

wintry chasm
#

Honestly? ¯_(ツ)_/¯

leaden ginkgo
#

How do I get to Ishgard again

wintry chasm
#

You can just go to the gate in Coerthas Central Highlands

leaden ginkgo
#

Is it better to level all jobs and crafting/gathering on one char ?

hybrid hamlet
#

Where do i get the augmented version of hw's poetics gear?

twilit arch
#

Seika, in idyllshire, will augment the gear

#

located at (X:6.7 Y:7.4)

silk summit
#

It's a good idea to level your gatherers and crafters together, yeah. They share gear so it'll be less clutter.

hybrid hamlet
#

Thank you!

leaden ginkgo
#

Ty !!

twilit arch
#

make sure you buy the est versions of the illuminati stuff, if youre augmenting shire

gritty oracle
#

What does the third icon mean on items beside "can be put in armoire" and "can be put in glam dresser"?

#

Also, can all armoire items be used from the glam dresser?

twilit arch
gritty oracle
#

Thanks!

twilit arch
#

yes, armoire items can be used from the glamour dresser

#

there's a button under the window when you're making a plate that should say something like 'open armoire'

gritty oracle
#

Thanks!

tight grotto
#

what do you mean by rounded @tough wolf

tough wolf
#

Well, to compare, I've been told DRK isn't great at aoe

tight grotto
#

oh, you mean if it can do aoe and single target just as well

#

do you mean for savage raids or dungeons

tough wolf
#

erm

#

"idk". I'm not looking for what's viable, I know everything is viable. More about playstyle

quaint vessel
#

I just started this weekend and playing a scholar, I was told there is flying mounts in this game and I have (could be wrong) 2 of them but how do I fly out in the world?

twilit arch
#

flying is only available in expansion zones

hot eagle
#

only from hw onwards can u unlock flying

twilit arch
#

and requires you to collect the aether currents for that zone, before you can fly

rare spoke
#

Got a macro related question, been using a handful of them for healing and I'm wondering if there's a way of getting tooltips to show for them.

tight grotto
#

@tough wolf well if you know everything's viable... lol
every class has a serviceable AoE for use in dungeons, NIN is no exception. it can aoe. there's nothing about playstyle wrt aoe. either you use it when it's needed or you don't.

as for ST damage it's not the greatest solo but contributes nicely to the team with trick attack
if you want big dick solo deeps as melee play SAM

twilit arch
#

no @rare spoke

rare spoke
#

rip

#

Rather disappointing that something as simple as that isn't available

tough wolf
#

@tight grotto so is NIN on par with BLM for aoe?

tight grotto
#

that's a really oddly specific question. IMO it really does not matter, you shouldn't care about aoe performance when picking a class. Off the top of my head I know NIN has more variety/cooldowns when it comes to aoe, so I think it would do more damage in a mobbing scenario

twilit arch
#

that's not the case

tough wolf
#

It's why I'm asking about the playstyle; I'm conscious BLM has several options for AoE to incorporate when doing a wall to wall pull. I'm wondering if as NIN it would be pulling off an AoE combo or spamming the same ability again and again.

twilit arch
#

you have to keep in mind that blm has higher potencies in general than nin

#

every job has AoE combos

tight grotto
#

oh, thanks for the correction then

#

NIN has an aoe combo and it has some AoE spells as well

twilit arch
#

er well, an AoE rotation

tight grotto
#

that you invoke with the mudras

#

one of them is a pulsing aoe on the ground so you can only put it down once the tank stops running

rough anchor
#

How do I unlock the poetics tomestone exchange in rhalrg’s reach

tough wolf
#

I've got an 80 SCH/SMN and GNB at 74. I wanted a physical DPS and I've read (on Reddit, so with a pinch of salt) that BRD and NIN are good classes to bring to groups. I play with 3 RL friends regularly. I like rounded classes that bring stuff to the party hence why I'm enquiring. I guess I could go and read the spell list and read about rotations but I was just looking for feedback.

twilit arch
#

you need to complete the main scenario quest "Stormblood"

tough wolf
#

Thank you @twilit arch and @tight grotto

rough anchor
#

The whole thing before I can exchange them for the gear there? Ugh

hot eagle
#

How do I unlock the poetics tomestone exchange in rhalrg’s reach
@rough anchor after u completed base stormblood 4.0

silk summit
#

That's actually the standard, Heavensward just spoiled us

tight grotto
#

most classes are rounded classes that bring stuff to the party actually
you can assume that for all classes with some exceptions:
sam, mch, blm are 'selfish' dpses afaik

glass eagle
#

Does anyone know how many grips you need for a Aetherpool weapon from POTD?

twilit arch
#

3 for pajdali, 6 for kinna

hot eagle
#

padjali weapons (3 grips), and another 6 for kinna

#

so u would need 9 for the kinna weapon

glass eagle
#

Ahh ok thankyou all 🙂

leaden ginkgo
#

When is the matinence happening? AM or PM? It's not specified

tight grotto
#

in 8 hours and 43 minutes

leaden ginkgo
#

Oh slick, that doesn't interrupt any playtime then since I'm asleep then, thanks

tight grotto
#

the format in the announcement is 24h time, not 12

leaden ginkgo
#

I see, thanks again

tight grotto
#

tl;dr it's dungeons and rouls from 15-70 lol

hot eagle
#

should work but if its something u like to do i cant say, mostly u can say as tank/heal run your daily roulettes then your highest possible dungeon and as dps its run daily roulette and highest dungeon too or if the que time sucks u can go spam potd floor 51-60 till lvl60/61 and hoh floor 21-30 for lvl61-70/71

#

or if your gc squad is levelled u can use them to run dungeons and grind exp

#

also u can do your challenge log for extra exp

tired glen
#

Where do I go to buy the furniture from the event?

thick bolt
#

is their like a place I can go to to see what I should buy to level my DoH leveling?

pine hamlet
#

Is shirogane still the most demanded housing district? I got lucky and snatched a medium at 19m and thinking of flipping it but i know its a bannable offense but probably in the grey area

strange coral
#

@tired glen The vendor is in Uldah where you started the event quests iirc. Kinda between the adventurer's guild and main aetherite.

hot eagle
#

is their like a place I can go to to see what I should buy to level my DoH leveling?
@thick bolt like a list for leves and needed items? or something else?

thick bolt
#

like if I wanted to buy my way to 70, what would I need?

hot eagle
#
leaden ginkgo
#

Lodestone online has a shop where you can just buy your way to 70 with any specific class

hot eagle
#

we talk about crafter/doh they dont sell lvl jumps for these in mogstation

tight grotto
#

thanks @hot eagle

surreal rapids
#

how can i purchase makai moon gear?

#

i think i have the matching chest, but i cant remember how i got it

hot eagle
#

can't anymore garo event stopped with shb 5.0 or was it 5.1

#

was pvp/frontline gear

surreal rapids
#

there's such a severe lack of shorts

#

it's basically just spring shorts and nothing else

#

which take a minimum of 6 weeks to get

surreal rapids
#

strange, i have the chest and i didnt play 5.0

#

i had it in SB

quasi heath
#

Can I get rid of the error text popups?

hot eagle
#

it started sometime in heavensward

quasi heath
#

Like when using a skill that isnt ready yet.

hot eagle
#

not ingame atm but should be somewhere in the system/char settings

surreal rapids
#

but thank you

#

i'll try to find more options for shorts!

can you log out in the ishgard firmrament? cuz that might be a good idea for tonight

obsidian patio
#

Yes you can

alpine shadow
obsidian patio
#

Does it say the same thing in the keybind menu?

alpine shadow
#

let me check

#

ill check it later

#

yea

nimble holly
#

is rank 7 the highest rank for beast triebs in SHB?

raven sage
#

8 is the highest you can get right now

nimble holly
#

there any new rewards at 8?

raven sage
#

The 9th will probably come around when they add in the allied stuff

nimble holly
#

ohh ok

#

ty

raven sage
#

There should be some more yeah

zealous minnow
#

Sorry, m an absolute noob to the game and I took a short break. So are leves basically just extra quests for experience

open coral
#

Leves are sort of side quests. They're not worth really great xp for combat classes, but they do represent a pretty good way to level crafting and gathering.

alpine shadow
#

extra repeatable quests

#

but has not much worth, and has no story

#

good for crafsters

zealous minnow
#

Cool, thanks. Yeah, I've just been leveling through the story. I figured I'd use those to level up crafting jobs

royal basin
#

Hi there! Can you play dark knight without any expansion?

alpine shadow
#

no

strange coral
#

No, Heavensward is required

open coral
#

No. DRK requires access to Ishgard, which means you need at least Heavensward.

royal basin
#

Thanks!

#

And maybe any tips for this prob,
Rn im leveling a second class on my same char. But since ive done all my main quests on my first class its kind of hard to level my second quest.. any tips?

open coral
#

Dungeons, challenge logs, and hunts.

wintry chasm
#

^

maiden tulip
#

as a new player what are some nice low level glamours for scholar that i could get?

open coral
#

Also Palace of the Dead if you like that kind of thing.

wintry chasm
#

Hunts for low levels, roulettes and dungeon spam, particularly for tanks and healers

maiden tulip
#

I just like seeing my char progress while being dressed nicely

wintry chasm
#

Palace of the Dead/Heaven on High is a good option for DPS past roulettes

open coral
#

Depends on what you're looking for in terms of appearances @maiden tulip

#

What sorts of appearances do you consider "nice"?

royal basin
#

Ugh anyone has the same problem that they cant stay to one class haha

open coral
#

I just level everything. ¯_(ツ)_/¯

royal basin
#

Im new to ffxiv and every quest looks too good...

#

Class*

#

Not quest*

#

Jobb* not class oops

leaden ginkgo
#

How do I use midgardsormr?

open coral
#

I've been playing for... 4 years? And I still haven't gotten all of my jobs to max level.

royal basin
#

Ninja or bard smhhhhhh

maiden tulip
#

@open coral hm my char is a viera so not too sure. any well fitted set will do tbh i dont really like the nun look i have now

open coral
#

@maiden tulip I was thinking more about what kinds of appearances you might be looking for. Most healer gear consists of long robes of some sort, or robe-like jackets.

#

Personally, I like the "Brand New" gear sets. They have a clean appearance, even if they're grey and undyeable.

maiden tulip
#

idk you cant really go wrong with something edgy for female chars tbh

open coral
#

But you can get dyeable versions out of the first three dungeons.

maiden tulip
#

oh Id also like sth basic as long as it doesnt look like rags

#

so ill take a look at those

open coral
#

The "Brand New" gear is level 15, so if you're over that you can equip or glamour it.

#

Under 15... there's not really a lot of good looking caster gear in general.

#

Our best appearances don't really start showing up until higher levels.

maiden tulip
#

i started like 2 hours ago or so i just hit 16

#

so i can probs get them

open coral
#

Oh, definitely get the Brand New gear then. The MSQ will lead you to it before your first dungeon.

#

Just do all of the tutorial instances, and you'll get a set of four left-side pieces and a ring that gives you an xp boost under level 30.

maiden tulip
#

oh boy

#

yeah im at its probably pirates now

open coral
#

Yep. Right before that dungeon there's a big building just outside of Aleport.

#

Just do all of the instances that the NPC inside wants you to (I think it's 5 or 6 for healing jobs).

#

They're boring, but relatively quick.

maiden tulip
#

ok

#

yeah im doing it rn

open coral
#

You'll know you've done the last one when you get the "Brand New Ring" as the reward.

leaden ginkgo
#

If I use artifact gear as glamour would I be able to dye it or still have to augment it

wintry chasm
#

augment then glam

leaden ginkgo
#

Ok

stone mango
#

My friend doesn’t want to spend the time/effort leveling up the Rogue/Ninja, and was wondering if they can still get the Artifact Armor set if they buy the level 70 boost.

wintry chasm
#

Yeah you'd just need to buy it from the calamity salvager/Ishgard bar depending the artifact gear in question

#

it skips the job quests though

stone mango
#

In Ishgard?

twilit arch
#

the lvl 60 set requires you to buy it with centurio seals in ishgard

#

50/70 is on the calamity salvager

stone mango
#

What about the baseline sets you’re supposed to get that are level 45?

twilit arch
#

that's the 50 set

stone mango
#

So he can still get that set even if he buys the boosts?

twilit arch
#

yes

#

there's a calamity salvager in all 3 starting cities, they're located near the mail moogles usually (ul'dah being an except, the salvager is near the weaver's guild)

stone mango
#

What about in Kugane?

oak nebula
twilit arch
#

there's no calamity salvager in ishgard/kugane/crystarium

#

It is one of the default options (except for hrothgar/viera) @oak nebula

stone mango
#

Alright. Thank you for the info. Google wasn’t telling me anything useful other than “you get it from hitting level 50 and Main Story progression”.

leaden ginkgo
open coral
#

Isn't that the DRK relic armor?

leaden ginkgo
#

Idk is it?

wintry chasm
#

That looks like the level 80 DRK job gear yes

#

But I think the model viewer is making it look cooler than it actually is

#

er not model viewer

#

but whatever that is anyway

open coral
#

Level 80 DRK and finish the tanking role quests then.

twilit arch
#

yeah its the Bale armor, you can buy it from grendolt once you've hit 80 and completed the tank role quests

dusky nest
#

that seems to be a fan re-make of that armor

leaden ginkgo
#

If ffxiv had good graphics

twilit arch
#

the only thing missing is helm/darker black

open coral
#

Helms are largely overrated anyways.

oak nebula
#

It is! I must've overlooked it, thank you @twilit arch

leaden ginkgo
#

I think it looks cool because it's dyed in black

#

The default color of the bale armor is like grayish blue right

wintry chasm
#

I would have called it purple

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

leaden ginkgo
#

🤔🤔🤔

open coral
#

That looks black to me...

leaden ginkgo
#

Yeah lmaooo

#

And cool too

pearl elm
#

could anyone help me with trying to get a controller to work on xiv?

open coral
#

For PC or PS4?

#

And work in what way?

pearl elm
#

for pc

#

and uh.. its detecting a ps4 controller as a 360 controller. which is w/e. but it wont detect any inputs. ive already tried using ds4 windows for it too

wintry chasm
#

Character config and then click the top left option where it shows the mouse and controller to swap control scheme?

pearl elm
#

i have to log in. one sec. ill try that

#

i was trying to calibrate it from main menu

#

nope

#

it just switches the ui to a controller mode. no inputs detected still

forest sage
#

does it work with other games?

wintry chasm
#

^

#

I want to say it's not the game then

pearl elm
#

yes. i have no issues using my controller with anything else

gloomy ice
#

I don't remember the exact setting but I do know there was a thing I had to do in steam before it read my ds4

pearl elm
#

i tried googling and people said that the ds4 had full compatability starting on heavensward

gray urchin
#

so it works for other games on your pc?

pearl elm
#

yea

if it's working for other games I see no reason why it wouldn't work for ffxiv

fresh lodge
#

Do you have Steam open?

forest sage
#

that's weird then cause mine works by default on win10, and works fine for XIV

gray urchin
#

was it turned on before you started the game

forest sage
#

you could try with steam gamepad support stuff too

#

like you launch steam, configure the pad and then it should work with everything like this

pearl elm
#

ok. i made some progress. i plugged it in. was able to calibrate it

#

and use it

#

but i guess i cant use it wireless?

gray urchin
#

do you have a bluetooth receiver for your pc

forest sage
#

oh no you can't, unless you install a special dongle for it and configure it properly

#

at least last time I checked it didn't work without a proper setup unplugged, you can google that you'll see how to make it works unplugged

#

I always have mine plugged in so don't really know how it works nowadays

#

Hey y'all - new arrival to the discord server, longtime player since middle of HW, blah blah blah i'm not important

#

but QUESTION

#

is there a channel in this server to offer myself up as a healer/tank/dps who knows the raids for folks who haven't gone into them but want to?

#

kind of like a destiny2 sherpa sign-up thingy?

wintry chasm
#

Sounds like you want to stalk the recruitment channels and find a group that is looking for someone or...something

#

Most appropriate place I can think of anyway outside of The Balance discord (but I don't think they do that stuff anyway)

nocturne lichen
#

oooh, i saw those and thought that was for like.. FCs. that's what i get for not actually investigating

wintry chasm
#

In your defence it's used for both

lunar nexus
#

Is there any way to quickly check the status of quests to see whether you completed them or not? I want to see what blue quests I still need to complete.

I know WoW has a command you can use to check if a quest is complete. I don't suppose XIV has something similar, or some website alternative?

quartz shale
#

@lunar nexus go into your quest journal and click “completed”

wintry chasm
#

You'd have to open up your journal and change it to "completed" and see if your quest comes up in the appropriate filter

nocturne lichen
#

it's hidden away but there IS a 'completed quests' button

quartz shale
#

It’ll switch from active to finished quests

nocturne lichen
#

It's usually in the top right corner of the quest log if i'm not mistaken

lunar nexus
#

neato, that'll work fine I think

#

thanks

open coral
#

You'll need to pick the appropriate quest category as well.

#

Those are the icons across the top of the quest log.

lunar nexus
#

Any idea if a spreadsheet like that already exists so I don't have to make it myself?

nocturne lichen
#

So when you say 'blue' quest I assume you mean things like optional dungeon unlocks?

lunar nexus
#

In general I'm looking for stuff like that, and quests that unlock emotes and such (although that's obviously not always a 'blue' quest)

nocturne lichen
#

That should be on the FFXIV wikis, but I don't know if theres any way to just plug in your account info and have it tell you what you've done versus what you haven't.

lunar nexus
#

My main issue at this point isn't really plugging it in to find out, it's more just to set up all of the quests I need (mainly their name and location)

glad fog
#

So me and my gf are still in the trial and have not paid for a subscription. Can we still recruit a friend each other for the mount?

#

And can only one of us do it

pearl elm
#

pretty sure no

nocturne lichen
#

There should be an option on the MogStation to add a RAF code before you buy the final version

strange coral
nocturne lichen
#

If you can't, well... hate to say it but at least you were only in the trial version so nuking the account and starting over with a RAF code won't lose TOO much progress

lunar nexus
#

I'll give that a look and start making a checklist of that myself, guess there's no real way around it

#

I found one with a lot of quests but it's not filtered the way I want it unfortunately, and hasn't been updated for Shadowbringers

thick bolt
#

Does new game plus give you the xp for those missions?

nocturne lichen
#

Nope!

#

Which begs the question: why is it there

forest laurel
#

what even is the point of NG+ other than just replaying the quests Thonk

thick bolt
#

solid question

nocturne lichen
#

(I'm being a prat. The answer is 'so you can relive the story quests in sequence without skipping parts in the Unending Journey journal)

#

there are in-field dialogues and whatnot that aren't part of the unending journey

twilit arch
#

being able to replay thru the main scenario quest without having to make a new character has been a pretty highly requested feature

nocturne lichen
#

Stuff like Yugiri complimenting you on your stealthy attire when reconnittuering (only spelled properly) and you're staring at her in the Violet Tide bikini armor

twilit arch
#

plenty of things that aren't in the unending journey that people would like to be able to see

Im using ps4. I loved wow and ff11. But have two kids. Is this game still fun to play? Debating picking up the $59.99 game plus expandions

#

Did a month trial years ago.

nocturne lichen
#

The latest expansion, by itself, has been lauded as one of the best games of 2019.

forest laurel
#

$60? Thonk It's like $40 if my conversions are right

nocturne lichen
#

Just the expansion. The rest of the game is just as good, but the Shadowbringers storyline - if you're interested in Final Fantasy style stories - is phenomenal

icy finch
#

$59.99 on ps4 in usa

forest sage
#

also it's not 60 + expansions, 60 is the game with all expansions

nocturne lichen
#

(only spelled correctly)

thick bolt
#

I gotta say

#

Crystal Tower story line and raid itself as a FF3 lover was nuts

forest laurel
#

hm, I paid £35 for the game + all expansions

forest sage
#

complete edition=starter+all expansions, otherwise you can buy just the starter(10-20$ depending on sales) and then buy shadowbringers which contain all past expansions too

nocturne lichen
#

Also! In regards to having two kids and limited time

forest sage
#

but basically until next expansion all you're paying at most is 60$ for all content, assuming no sale

nocturne lichen
#

YoshiP, the head developer, is on record saying he DOESN'T want people and players to feel obligated to log in every day to stay relevant.

#

It's 100% different then Destiny 2, fuck that FOMO game

#

glad I quit it for FF14

nocturne lichen
#

There are plenty of people who let their subs lapse once they hit endgame and only resub for new raid tiers, or the pre-patch content leading up to the next expansion, etc

forest sage
#

I only resub every few patches

#

I played whm in ff11 and it was miserable

nocturne lichen
#

In regards to FFXIV being worth the time

#

The Main Story Quests are esentially single-player Final Fantasy games

icy finch
#

Ff11 my whm would get one shotted

nocturne lichen

interspersed with group content for the dungeons and raids

twilit arch

the main scenario quest is designed to be completable by all roles

what drops/loot do hunt trains give?

icy finch
#

Ps4 controller limit the game much?

thick bolt
#

man who pissed in your coffee

twilit arch
#

so you shouldn't have too much worry about being able to do it, if you decide to main whm

forest sage
#

the game is somewhat slower to accomodate for pad gameplay, you can do all content with a pad though including the top endgame stuff

nocturne lichen
#

yeah, even as the lowest-dps healer class (Astrologian) i can still march right along in good time

forest sage
#

it's been done by a lot of people

I main WHM myself, I have very little trouble with MSQ

Voice chat

there's no ingame voice chat, so not directly

#

can use discord or whatever else though

nocturne lichen
#

Speaking of playing on a controller - my wife is a graphic designer and is unfortunately developing carpal tunnel syndrome. She however has had GREAT success using a PS4 controller!

#

she also PLAYS on a PS4 while i play on PC because her computer is a Mac, lol

icy finch
#

Looks like i should cancel ff7 then

nocturne lichen
#

she has currently set herself up as Red Mage and Monk for controller layouts and has had no issues whatsoever

twilit arch
#

for healer or any role in general, leo?

nocturne lichen
#

She mains Summoner but is left handed so yes, we made LOTS of SMN/Carpal Tunnel jokes

dusk zenith
#

are hunt trains a worth while thing to do for gil?

#

or are treasure maps generally better

obsidian patio
#

Treasure maps very easily beat hunt trains once a rare material drops

#

And even if it doesnt, you get a lot of pure Gil from them

forest sage
#

treasure maps have a cost, take quite a while, require a group but yeah they're more profitable

lyric warren

where do u get ryne minion?

silk summit
#

Probably monk

obsidian patio
#

Mord Souq

forest sage
#

least popular overall is probably astrologian, least popular DPS is monk

twilit arch
#

hmm, couple of suggestions are alliance coat of healing, farlander's acton of healing, skallic jacket, ala mhigan gown, whisperfine woolen coat, rebel/urban coat. @leaden ginkgo

final raptor
#

some good way for healer targeting in large raids? i have hotkeys 1-8 but over this size it start to be difficult. Can i target the lowest hp in my front? or some another ways?

forest sage
#

generally people expect their own group healers to heal them

#

only people you should bother cross healing at main tank(maybe), or if you see someone in front of you at low hp(if you're using a mouse, with a pad no idea if you can target that easily)

obsidian patio
#

You can use the alliance UI to target the other people in the alliance

#

Controller uses L1+left/right to target alliance members

#

But yeah, I rarely if ever heal outside of my party, but I will raise if needed

forest sage
#

but damage in 24man is scaled in a way that's it's easy to heal with only your 2 healers, even the main tank can be easily kept up by just the 2 healers in his group

final raptor
#

in pvp its bit trouble to heal ...

twilit arch

you need to be lvl 50 and 2nd LT in your grand company to unlock the hunt board

oh thanks

so when we said blue mage log above we meant unlocking their actions, right?

no

rich flume
#

Hey, is it possible to equip two of the same rings ? Or do they have to be unique

#

casue i wanna buy another one with the tomestones

wintry chasm
#

two of the same unique rings can't be worn at the same time

nocturne lichen
#

You can theoretically augment one and leave the other unaugmented though.

wintry chasm
#

^

twilit arch
#

Blu Mage log is unlock at lvl 60, from the quest "Blue Scream of Death"

wintry chasm
#

But that's it

rich flume
#

so say I already have the ironworks of fending, I can buy an ironworks ring of slaying then ?

twilit arch
#

basically has you go do old dungeons/raids with other blu mages

nocturne lichen
#

Oh you could do that, yes

rich flume
#

ok thanks

wintry chasm
#

You could do that but you you're better off augmenting the fending ring and then buying another fending ring

nocturne lichen
#

The Ironworks rings can be augmented but unlike the Shire and Scaevan gear...

wintry chasm
#

so you'd have one augmented fending ring and one non-augmented

nocturne lichen
#

... it's a bit of a pain in the butt to augment the Ironworks stuff cuz you gotta hike from Mor Dhona out to see Gerolt.

wintry chasm
#

since augmentation is another item technically

unreal badge
#

oh ok

wintry chasm
#

@unreal badge You have to be second lieutenant in your grand company and you can unlock the ARR hunts in your grand company. You can then unlock the hunts in the expansion areas in order

#

Do you still need that camera question whoever that was?

glad fog
#

I'm seeing a lot of complaints about the companion app from a couple years ago. Has it gotten better?

The reason why people don't like it is because it's pretty useless

glad fog

Neat

nimble holly

will there be new tome mats to buy when the new crafter gear comes out later?

Hey I'm new to FF and was curious if there might be any tips to choosing a class to play?

wintry chasm

Any idea of what kind of playstyle you are looking for?

leaden ginkgo
#

I like ranged classes. I've healed in other mmorpgs but also really like dps.

wintry chasm
#

Well if you go arcanist you can unlock Scholar and Summoner which is a pet based healer and pet based caster

#

Not sure how all other MMOs work but healing in this game isn't so much you casting heals every second but just healing when you have to and DPSing when you aren't (though your DPS isn't going to be that high anyway)

They can reach similar numbers
I woiuld say SAM is much easier

nocturne lichen
#

AST is the fill-a-niche healer. If you want to use shields, you put yourself in Nocturnal Sect. If you want regens, Diurnal Sect. This is also so you can avoid doubling up with a WHM or SCH in a trial or raid, since double shields used to be incredibly subpar. ... and by subpar I mean oh god help us please we're dying these shields aren't lasting long

twilit arch
#

nothing wrong with double regens, in non savage content

nocturne lichen
#

As a primarily-AST healer main, I feel like Noct Sect is fairly weak. Diurnal Sect will make you feel like a healing god, though not as potent of a god as WHM.

#

Nocturnal Sect used to expressly say 'does not stack with Galvanize' but thank god they changed it so it can so TECHNICALLY a SCH/Noct AST isn't going to make health-bar-whackamole an exersize in high blood pressure stress activities

twilit arch
#

no

#

it still doesn't stack with sch shield

All the myriad ways that Diurnal Sect can apply a regen get their own unique buff so you don't have to worry about overwriting your own Heal Over Time spells OR a WHMs
