well i think is not possible i dont have over 800 SP to use these all.
Twelve's Bounty and Giving Land will be sufficient in that case. Stacking all of them at once isn't really necessary. There are other means as well such as Aetherial Reduction. Which is basically Desynthesis for MIN/BTN. But I don't know the specifics of which give wind crystals exactly.
i still leveling my low level crafter
if you can get Crystarium gears theres no need for Deepshadow gears right?
Nope, crystarium is higher lvl and therefore better
But its limited cause weekly cap
How many people do you need to run through the Coils of Bahamut? I know you can do it unsynced but is just having 1 person @80 enough to carry? Queues take forever otherwise 
Yep
1 lvl80 should be enough but with a few more its faster and if its your first time people join for the bonus should u make a pf
I've done the first one but not the other 4, the bonus applies for each one individually right?
yeah since each coil is another duty

What's E5S mean?
There are so many acronyms in this game it's hard to keep track
Is there a comprehensive resource for that stuff anywhere?
Eden's Gate/Verse, 5th trial, Savage difficulty
Ohh
i wonder do you have to stay in the trial for the loot before everyone rolls or you can just leave ?
Guessing that's a late-game thing?
and yes @cunning palm you need to wait until everyones rolled
or the timer runs out
Oh, got it. So it's Shadowbringers content?
@cunning palm If you want the loot yes, if not you can leave
yes
Yep
oh no x(
Alright, thank you!
and how do you know many tomestones you have earned from that trial?
It should tell you in the chat log
The specific amount per activity will also be listed in the duty finder
oh i see it thanks
building a submarine and saw that my sub only has 30 surveilance despite the stats of the parts
is it capped until a certain rank?
This may be a stupid question, but... uh... where do I buy the gatherer folklore tomes?
when does a ''week'' reset ? like doman donation , tomestones etc
!weekly
Every tuesday
tuesdays that time
@rough anchor Splendors Vendors. Eulmore for ShB ones, Rhalgar (and maybe Kugane) for SB ones, etc
And ARR and HW?
Guys am I bad at machinist or does it just do little to no dmg?
I feel like dragoon spoiled me
HW probably Idyllshire. Not sure about ARR, possibly Mor Dhona
they said endgame you need to be like bare min 14k dps rn?
i mean yea it's gonna be a little lower than drg so
but it's like the highest of all the physical ranged i thought???
bard was even lower than mch
I don't know I think I probably need to learn it then
I recently bought the game and started it but I remembered that I have zero friends
I was wondering where I can find beginners like me or if I can play the realm reborn and the 2 other expansion packs almost all alone
wdym exactly
because you can do the MSQ completely solo
and there's duty finder for any dungeons/trials/etc
Sorry, I phrased it weirdly. Can I play most of the game without other people?
I really have no idea how to make gil does anyone know of any groups or guides to help a totally inept person can learn how to make gil?
The quests yes, and the dungeons sort of to a point, they have AI for certain dungeons you can unlock. Otherwise trials etc will all need to have people from pf or df to complete
i cant buy the gatherers materia vii even though i have paniclusters, it shows i can buy the battle ones though :/ whys that
Because non combat materia uses a different token to buy

idk anything about specialization, can someone explain it for me? and is there like a list or something of specialist-exclusive stuff i can make?
how do i get the new "!!/!" thing for fishing?
tried looking in options but i must be missing it
not showing for me even though i didnt touch an option for it
how long is the wait between the supply bar filling and the start of the fate in the ishgard stuff?
does anyone know when mog station will be back up so i can buy FFxiv?
You don't buy FFXIV through the mogstation
What does it mean when a class name is purple-ish like Armorer pictured here?
it's purchased on PS4 store, Steam or the Square Enix Store @split barn
or Amazon if you're country has it
@high frigate I think that means you have their specialist stone
Oh neat yeah that's the only one I put it on so far thanks
also where do i put the referral code my friend gave me i dont see it anywhere on mogstation and the instructions are just tell me its on mogstation.
“Enter Recruitment Code” button in the Your Account section
how many pieces of the golden antiquity armor can you get in one week?
You can get one piece per instance per week
With the weapon token being a separate weekly piece
ah do i need to "transfer to regular service" first?
Yes
ah okay
so if i get one pair of golden antiquty chausses i cant get another until the next week?
Why do the new Savage raids require specific DPS but not the older ones?
Does that mean the next raids will lift these requirements?
uhhh they dont
What do you mean specific DPS?
They dont though
no savage raid has ever required a specific dps role
Like the role bonus for having different types?
if you mean individual jobs
some people prefer the faster lb fill up
which raid?
also premades bypass that requirement
That’s just for not pre-made parties
The current ones
Thats how raid finder has always worked
!faq edenloot
nobody realistically queues for savage
raid finder takes into account the limit break speed fill
however a full party bypasses those restrictions
as with any content
@polar cairn you can get another pants from the other Eden raids
I don't get why they enforce this for Raid Finder then...
to make it as comfy as possible
If you wanted you can get 4 chest tokens or 4 accessory tokens in a single week
if people choose to
and japan actually use it
you will never be realistically using the raid finder on your own
itll always be 8/8 which bypasses it
are there any things that require you to be a specialist to make?
Mostly just current patch glamour stuff if anything
glamours are my endgame
Which for now i believe is the shinryu weapons and ruby weapon orchestrion roll
do those require savage raids?
Extreme trials
that's what i thought 
With shinryu being a stormblood trial
TBH Ruby is probably one of the easiest extremes in a while
how do i get rid of screen "pulse" for skills? the !!/! for fishing only appears when animations for self are set to all, but i want the latter and not the former
example of what im talking about ^
When you press the skill on the button itself? Not sure if that can be removed
its really visually annoying to me, to the point of headaches after a while
i want the !!/! for fishing but if i have to put up with that ill just skip
!faq serverlock
... oh yeah kupo still derpy
You just have to wait for a quieter time of day
okay thats fine
Usually late at night or in the morning
More people playing than usual likely due to corona
huh I've actually never noticed the screen pulse when using Holy
I don't think it can be removed at all bc I just messed with the settings and nothing seems to affect it
Anyone know an easy collectable get materials to craft for white scripts?
why is there an extra quitari quest when i havent finished that rank yet?
Delving Deeper quest
There are two quests per rank up. The second determines the path the story will take and it's up to you to determine what the damaged stelas mean.
hmm, i just noticed the quest now soo
im not sure why it appeared
and not before
@lilac flume There's a text command to change the battle effect setting that you could include in a job change macro, or a macro of it's own. It's /bfx [self|party|other] [all|simple|off]. So you could do /bfx self all when switching to fisher and /bfx self off when switching to white mage.
nvm, i somehow got the reputation enough for it for some reason i forgot
@strange coral seems to work, thanks!
!! is heavy hookset and ! is precision, right?

still thanks for the fix though 👌
better to ask crafting questions here or in crafting channel? returning player after like 2 years
What's the fastest way of getting my crafters from 10 to 20 (so I can do Ishgardian Restoration)
I've mostly just been doing crafting logs, cause that's the fastest way I could find
Any alternatives to leves 🤔
I'm thinking of saving those for DoL
Since Ishgard Restoration will already do most of the levelling for my crafters
Ixal beast tribe quests
and then other than all that's been said the last thing you can do is just continue making one of everything for the first time bonus but that really isn't as good as leves
So i'm having this wierd issue with Discord actually, its not detecting final fantasy xiv, so i cant add it as a game im currently playing. This started a few patches ago and googling doesnt help.. Anyone have any experience with this issue? 😐 Its just final fantasy xiv...
discord is up to date, both discord and ffxiv are being run as admin
You tried Options>Game activity and then add it manually?@fleet moth
And it's not one of the already added options?
nope, deleted it from the already added ones thinking it was bugged
That is weird, and unfortunately that's as far as my knowledge about that goes, sorry
its ok, thanks for trying 😛 I cant find anything else about it on google either. The only thing i found was something that said to run them both as admin but that did nothing so 😐 guess i give up lol
And you probably have tried restarting your computer
I got DC'ed while crafting. I guess all my mats are gone now, correct?
Yep
if i buy a whole set of neoishgardian gear
is there anything i can use my tomes of phant on/
so sorry @leaden ginkgo :(
hope it wasnt anything too expensive
You can buy Phanta materials to sell for Gil
How long does it take realtime for 12 in-game hours to pass?
i havent gotten far enough in shb msq to be able to spend :(
...really? I thought it would've been longer than that..
how do i straight up clear all the abilites on my hotbar
should i just buy the neoishg gear set or buy the tomestones one?
i can save a lot of money for my crafters if i save, but my fc leader has told me ill need 480 eventually too
Ehh, IMO it depends on your current ilvl and if you want to do high-end stuff right away like ruby extreme or Eden savage
For casual play you only need 455 currently
Could buy the weapon then to speed up over world stuff
Not before completing the base ShB story
oh right i meant assuming after i complete the shb story
if i dont buy the neoishg, what would be the gear progression?
Eden verse normal, which is on a weekly lockout
i430: starter job set + first 3 level 80 dungeon accessories
i440: ronkan stuff from clan nutsy
i445: Grand Cosmos dungeon set
i450: Eden’s Gate normal
i455: Anamnesis Anyder dungeon set
i460: Deepshadow tomestone set and YorHa alliance dungeon set
i470: Augmented Deepshadow
i480: Eden’s Verse normal and Neo-Ishgardian crafted set
i485: Ruby Extreme Weapon
i490: Allegory tomestone set
i500: Augmented Allegory and Eden’s Verse Savage set

Where do i find the red mage starter quest ?
Ul’dah Steps of Thal, around x14, y11
is there a way to not make tootips show up when hovering over them?
or a way to put it on a 1 second delay
You can set a toggle key in the UI settings to hide the tooltip when hovering over an item
“Enable Help Text Toggling”
can anyone please show me their red mage hotbar ?? 😢
Is something like this good enough ?
Really incomplete one
Yeah, aint got all the skills yet
I'd say to move role skills to a diff hotbar
i'd say figure out how the job works before you start placing stuff on hotbars
cause you have aoe stuff on 2 3 5 and single target on 1 4 6 qe
and change your hotbar 4 to non-shared cause you have sam skills, and you'll have rdm skills on samurai there now too
Aight kinda figured it out now, does this work ?
and in general just put skills wherever it's comfortable for you to use, your hotbars are just for you and no one else so as long as they work for you they're good even if they look bad
(yeah its just so i got aoe, combos and single targets separated)
ty so much @green grail
Can I turn in stuff in Ishgard with another job so I can get double exp with RT70?
Or did they patch it
You could never turn in things for ishgard on the wrong class
btw how do i make hotbars non-shared ?
character config -> hotbar settings -> sharing
Oh nvm I see what you meant
The exp doesn't change so I don't think you would even need to do that
@hybrid hamlet how tf did you set you hotbar up like that
Hiding unused slots
@obsidian patio thanks!
ok
does anyone know if the controller has been acting up since the update?
I’ve been fine on PS4.
Besides my controller specific issues of it sticking sometimes
Sorry to specify - ps4 controller playing on pc
When will the next itinerant mohel event happen?
close to patch 5.3
they usually run it close to patches and end it on the patch day
to give people something to do in the last bit of downtime

so i didnt manage to do E1S-E4S, and managed to go straight to E5S, thing is id like to know is im able to do E4S to unlock alexander, if i havent done E1S-E3S
party finder
How can I select both "DPS" and "Tank" for this slot in the party? I want to accept either category.
manually select tank roles
oh really? Dang
i know. but the thing is idk if pple would do E4S, i havent seen a party for that ever since 5.2 came out lol
For the first few weeks, almost everyone would like to prog E5-E8S
Just have some patience
Alternatively, you can form a temporary static by recruiting people in reddit or in this discord's recruitment channel
How often do patches come out around?
Major patches are about every 3-4 months.
How do you go to/from a cross-world party?
with an existing party
for example if I am in cross-world party, with only people in my world, i want to downgrade it

Is there a timer for special events in firmament?
The fates? They apparently pop 30 minutes after the bars fills for the first one, and then 8 hours after if there’s a second fate
Is there a way to see what equipments are rare or only obtainable once?
My equipment pouch is full so I need to sell stuff, but I'm worried about selling something I can't get back if I wanted to lol
There’s very few equipment in the game that can only be obtained once.
You can use the garland tools website to see what sources of obtaining something an item has
Nothing you get outside of holiday events, refer a friend bonuses, and raids can be lost forever afaik. It should all be on the calamity salvager.
Maybe items from collectors editions and pre-order bonuses too.
I don't think those are on the salvager.
But most of those you can store in the armoire.
Or the game just doesn’t let you discard them
I've heard something about "primal" mounts
how do you get em ??
like mounts related to ifrit and leviathan and stuff
Kill the extreme mode primal, have a 10% of the mount dropping for old primals, about 1-2% for current primals.
New primals you can also collect 99 of their token and trade it for the mount (so 99 kills)
Each expansion also has their own “super primal” mount which is obtained from a quest once you have all the primal mounts for that expansion
!item Kirin Fife
ty so much ❤️
Does PoTD still give good ammounts of xp at level 50 through 60?
i heard that it is not worth using lilies just to grow the blood lily, because you actually gain more dps from casting glare during those lily GCDs than you get from having another blood lily. is that true?
Yed
Cause it takes 4 gcds to use a 900 pot skill
Anf 4 glares are 1200
Simple maths
Now if you had to heal, its a gain
But purely using lily heald for the sake of getting blood lily isn't worth it
gotcha
It can also be worth using lilies while moving
Best time is during downtime if you don’t need them for healing
And they’re worth burning ASAP once it can hit 2 targets
Yeah in aoe then the blood lily become .worth more
i suppose if you don't have to refresh dot or regen
lily is the next best thing to do
since whm has limited instant gcds
Well you still have holys potency.to consider
But yes, lilies are nice for weaving
Anytime Lilies save you from using a Cure 2, its a straight gain
Same with Medica 1
That to
does anyone know how to/where to fish for sweetflesh oysters, the coordinates on teamcraft are lies
nvm found it, its in the caves

Does someone know when i need the Expansion bacause im lv 50 and i do quests, do i get back these exp if i buy the Expansion ?
No, lost xp is lost forever
Once.you get the expansion. You'll.start getting xp again
So probably best get now since you're xp locked
Okey thx
I'm level 42, other than the MSQ/dungeon where can I get gear
Buy from market board, some NQ stuff from.some vendors...craft it
Some side quests give gear
Ty
guys whats the blue color on your exp gauge?
it means that you've got enough rested exp that it carries over into the next level
how do you get them
You gain rested exp whenever you're in a sanctuary (there'll be a crescent moon icon next to the exp bar)
what is rested xp?
oh i know that part but do you redeem this rested xp or it just kinda helps you by giving you slightly more xp when doing stuff?
It gives you more xp while you do stuff
oh alright bros
And slowly consumes the rested xp. Once consumed you wont have a bonus
thanks
Blue means you havr enough rested xp to level
ok thanks I am very new
/cd for short?
Is there a composition I should aim for with my squadron?
Thanks Wynne
There’s no real best for missions since you can use training and chemistries to cover any low spots in stats, but my squadron is currently Gladiator, Marauder, Conjurer, Archer, Pugilist, Rogue, Arcanist, and Thaumaturge
How hard is Ruby extreme vs the 8 eden raids
from my clear attempts, seems like it's going to be MUCH harder. not because of mechanics necessarily, but because your healers being slow for one particular mechanic i'm stuck on means you're all going to horribly die
repeatedly
Ruby weapon is zzzzzz
If you can do heliosclaw and first ravensflight, fight is dead
not that PF can do them

are minions just for fun or do they serve some other purpose
for the most part they're cosmetic. There is a mini game in the gold saucer that uses them, called the Lords of Verminion
does 600 accumulated points for fashion report mean it adds up all the points of the 4 tries in 1 week?
or does it take the highest from each week?
the highest from each week iirc
Yep. The accumulation is over the course of several weeks not singular ones
Great, thank you!
would it take long to gather the mats to craft the neo-ishgardian set by yourself?
Not that long, but for aethersand I recommend having/learning some rotations for good collectability score and using desynthesis on them
for timed nodes you can gather them yourself or buy them on the market, phantasmagoria mats are easy to get if you have some tomes, the problematic one could be sublime solutions if you dont have crafters leveled up
ohh okay
i guess im just trying to decide whether its worth the effort to make it myself
all my crafters are 60ish so far
if i get my crafters to 80, would i need good gear or master recipes to be able to craft it?
yes to be able to craft everything you need the master recipes for each crafter, just the last one
and to be able to craft it you can use the facet set with some melds, which takes a while to craft by yourself as well
guys can i ask here for help for e5s or there is some text-room where i should do it, sorry for bad english
right now probably theres more sets you can use to craft it, the problem is you need to reach a certain amount of crafting points or CP
You can use party finder Giacy, you can create your own party for learning or you could find learning parties
or also search in the recruitment channels here, I think you can use those for that as well
yeah coz it's 4 a.m here and i can't find 2 dps :C
How fast do servers open and close character addition? Lamia closed as gf was making character.
They can do it at any time temporarily since that's based on how many people are currently online
!faq serverlock
Standard, Preferred, and New Servers will dynamically open and close themselves from newly created characters depending on how many players are online. To ensure you're able to make a new character on your server try waiting or doing so at a less active time of day.
Congested Servers will not unlock for new players or transfers until Square Enix removes the Congested Status.
Changes like every minute or so from my experience refreshing the server status page
You don't want those
The only ones left are on the market board but they don't give much of a reward
you can't get phase 1 materials anymore, outside of what's listed on the marketboard
but p1 aren't worth much anymore
oh okay
So whats best to grind from 50 to 80?
I can only access diadem on lv 80, right?
You can go in at 10
The main reason why you go into the diadem at level 80 is because the scrips you make from level 80 materials are almost ludicrous in the amounts you can get
I'd say rn best grind is ishgard restoration and daily grand company turn ins
it's also more efficient per materia in comparison to regular gathering scrips as well
does anyone here know if viera can wear the form and function hairstyle?
all unlockable hairstyles currently do not work on viera as far as I know
(ditto with hrothgar but that's more obvious)
Does anyone know which viera hairstyle clips the least?
How do I get kupo vouchers?
Is it a weekly thing like jumbo cactpot? I turn items in and come back the other day to collect rewards?
You can hold up to 10 cards. you need 5 turn ins to get 1 card.
you talk to the girl next to the turn in npc to use them
They're going to clip with anything that's got a collar
everything clips a little
it's just a matter of how much are you willing to put up with it
is there a way to save HUD layouts per class
I have the bottom left and it clips through your character's shoulder in the character creator.
best you can do is keybind the hudlayout to quickly switch between them
Generally shorter hairstyles clip the least.
not that i'm aware of
that is not an option, unfortunately
how do you people heal 8 mans lol
i don't :V
just click on their name and hit the heal button?
Yea or use AoE heals.
you can also use the F# keys
fuck if I'm reaching for f8
🤷
i would have liked to bind all 8 members to my mouse
but I can't do 2x4 so that makes it slightly more obnoxious
mouse over heals?
Uh, I play on controller and in a certain sequence where I had a special cross hotbar instead of my normal one, I switched off of it and now can't get back to it and thus can't do anything. How do I fix this?

That worked, thanks. Does it say that anywhere?
Not sure
a lot of these are just habit to me now, I don't remember where/when I learnt this ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Is getting the 30 day sub from the complete edition considered free?
yes
Is it still free to transfer from a congested world?
So what's the go-to for Nexus light these days? Is Ifrit fast enough to overtake Tam-Tara, or something else now?
can I not level miner/botanist at ixali beast tribes? if not any other place I can?
no
You can do leves or GC turn ins
you can use the diadem once you finish the HW patch quests and are level 10
yeah I thought of leves
ifrit if you have good loading times, tam tara if you don't @worldly maple
otherwise just use leves
That too
not sure what that is industrial
but I have them unlocked I think?
Done blue quests there, and currently in stormblood MSQ wise
@dense kelp Only from congested to preferred
Any DRG mains here? How do you guys keep up positionals for bosses/encounters where its difficult to go to their rear??
any site to check what dungeon give bonus light ?
No one really keeps track of it anymore with how fast the step is nowadays
Yeah
Hey, i wanna add time to my account even tho i still have 30 days but when i click credit card/crysta payment it makes me subscribe rather then adding a amount of time to my account. How might i add 30 days to my account?
do i have to buy a game time card or is there another way?
game time cards add 30 days to my acc imidiately tho and thats what i need my question is is they any other way as i cant find a 30 day card
is there a discord server for eureka or do people not do it at all?
thanks

So I just unlocked gunbreaker. It says that some of the skills don't share a recast timer, but when I use other skills they still go on a timer?
They're on GCD cooldowns
for the most part you just stuff them in a no mercy and you'll be good
"Weaponskill" implies two things: the cooldown is equal to your GCD, and it puts all your other Weaponskills on cooldown
The skill you're looking at does put your other Weaponskills on cooldown, but does not have the same cooldown as your GCD
It's fixed at 30s or whatever
Okay, just a confusing tip, then.
I think I got it. It's a weaponskill, so it still obeys GCD, but this one just also has an extra timer after being used, but other weaponskills just get hit with normal GCD instead
Hi, kind of a newbie question but when playing tank in the nier raid, if you're running as an OT do you still use tank stance the entire run or only when you get the split 3 group adds?
just for adds
If the main tank dies you can just quickly slap on the tank stance and use provoke
Are airships and subs worth getting?
Though something I should feel like saying based on my experience, but make sure to tank the Small Bipeds after the first boss, they have an aggro table.
Airships not as much anymore, but Submarines can get some high-selling furniture and minions/music rolls if you're willing to put in the effort to make submarine parts and level them up.
ah thats what i thought, thank you so much :)
Making submarine is.... work though...
Yeah they can be expensive to make, but that's what makes the rewards so good if you're willing to do it
Mmmm kamachite ore are $$$$
Do i need to be in game for my allowances to refill?
Nope

Is it possible to send money to a person if they're not online?
you can through moogle mail if they're on your friend's list and on your server
Does it work if they're in my FC but not on my friend's list?
No
You could put the money into the FC chest but then it's at the mercy of whoever decides to take it out
Hm, that's a good idea, actually.
Well.. Might be.
Thanks for the suggestion!
I'll probably do that
http://puu.sh/FlUAl/b3e63be03e.jpg is this a typo?

Does waste not 2 use capital "i"s or lowercase "L"s?
i's
tyty
not sure if I asked before, but easy way to get myself lvl 50 doh/l gear? just hit 50 on my last one and would be useful
crafters have a set of gear at the grand company
as for gatherers, they only have a hat and tools there, so your best bet for them is to tough it out until 51 for that set of gear
for DoW/DoM, how big is the difference between having overmelded gear vs non-overmelded gear in terms of dps?
the vendor gear you mean for 51?
probably like 1-2% DPS at the most, assuming those overmelds aren't used to reach a key GCD for your rotation
yes
okay thanks
ohh okay thanks
Am I missing much by not doing beast tribe quests?
not particularly if you don't mind the loss of various minions/mounts/furniture
Though the dailies are pretty decent for experience while waiting in a queue

they all have neat storylines
they're kinda grindy but you're capped at 12 quests per day and most tribes only offer 3 per day
the crafter/gatherer tribes are wonderful for levelling crafters and gatherers
Can anyone guide me to a BLM guide please?
leveling or lvl 80?
!faq blmleveling
Nope
not sure why its not showing, but here https://i.imgur.com/jc3P3WQ.png
!faq blmleveling
fixed
Ty soo much!
Ty ty!
Ask your questions here
Right now, I suggest teleporting to Summerford Farm in La Noscea
Slightly south of that point are striking dummy you can hit
To practice your BLM
Ooo, nice+
You can only fly in Expansion Area
Summon a mount, then just hold Jump
Areas with enemies at Lvl 51 and up are expansion areas
I see
i see
As you practice your rotation, do rearrange the position of the actions on your hotbar, actions you press often should take you the least effort to reach.
the default arrangement (by chronological order) will kill your fingers
is there nail glam other than the beast nails like normal nails that you can color?
The B hunts are soloable
only needs like rank 4 or 5 and you start at 3
aa is it a crafting tribe or can u do normal dailies ?
combat beast tribe
sweet thanks man
Also I think there are mogstation nails but I'm not sure they're available now?
The ones that come with demon horns
Succubus horns even
the demonic set? lemme see
just looks like long gloves to me unless it's named something else
Claws of the Beast? they already mentioned those and wanted to know of other nail gloves
...I think one of the PVP sets does something kinda related to the nails. not too sure
!iglam Republican Signifier's Fingerless Gloves
Yeah my reading comprehension is of a bread
Oh those look nice
yeah those add long nails and nice tattoos, but only for casters
Besides those 3 items I can't immediately recall any other gloves that mess with fingernails
Which dps class currently has highest dps o.o?
Black Mage, Samurai, and Summoner are all very close to the top for personal damage
Can you change text size of conversations without altering UI size?
via right clicking the text box
Ok thanks
The difference in damage between top and bottom DPS isn't that major assuming equal skill, only about 10-13%
!iglam Republican Signifier's Fingerless Gloves
@obsidian patio
are those the same nails as the claws of the beast?
looks like it
10% is a lot no?
Not really, damage checks aren't too tight
only if you're right at the minimum item level needed for the fight for the most part
Also, simply playing as a Melee DPS, Ranged DPS, or Caster DPS adds +1% main stats to everyone in the party through the role bonus
So even if the top 3 DPS for selfish damage are 2 casters and a melee, having a ranged around for their 1% boost is pretty decent.
Oooo
Tldr: the difference is there, but not enough to stop you from playing what you enjoy
Only thing people really try to avoid are having duplicate jobs in the party
Yeah
but even then it's not major, assuming LB isn't downright required and you need natural generation for it
So, Don't freak out when you get match made into a party with 2 same tank, 2 same healer, and 2 types of DPS
I recommend queueing through the low level dungeons and slowly go up in level to get the hang of things
as if you were naturally leveling
So I have recently gotten into doing the anima weapon quests and am currently on the A Dream Fulfilled one, so anyone know a good and efficient way to get crystal sand?
If you have a crafter or gatherer leveled up then the blue scrip tokens is the best way to go about it.
If not, then spamming Heavensward Leves searching for coffers to get the Amber vilekins is another alternative.
If you're level 70-80 or don't mind spending gil, you can try one of the two Extreme Primal material turn-ins (Inferno Horn+Crag Heart+Diamond Tear, or Vortex Feather+Barb of the Whorl+Large Levin Orb)

what does this post mean by classes in regards to housing?https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/705ggv/plot_prices_by_size_and_class/
basically a grade attached to housing plots based on not fully known factors.
so there are some factors that is known then?
General assumptions for how it works are location, view, and if it's crowded by other houses
Like how the beach front houses for the Mist and Shirogane are all grade 1 or 2
since they got a very excellent view
can you build any size of house on any plot or is it just some specific ones that can hold the medium and/or large sizes?
Only the same size of the plot
smalls can only have smalls, and larges can only have larges
are the prices on that post still about the same or how does that look?
yeah those are still accurate
okay.
went and looked and really want at least a medium sized house. small i should be able to afford if i keep it up at this rate but its to small for my taste
large seems almost excessively large
IMO Large houses still don't have enough furniture slots to fully kit out if you want it to look good.
You generally have to neglect the top floor or basement if you want the other two to look well-decorated and not have a bunch of empty space, unless you're very good at using large furniture to decorate with
Small houses can be extremely cozy, almost crowded, with their furniture limit, and mediums hit a nice balance
it just botherd me how small sized houses are pretty much 2 rooms unless you add some walls inside yourself. but in the end, it is what you make of it so you no doubt make a great small house with the right stuff.
Are leve quests worth doing?
Yep, smalls can be amazing
With the platform, you can make it a 4 "floor" house
While still leveling
Doh?.
Battle ones aren't really worth it, but for crafters and gatherers
Disciples of Hand - crafters
Disciples of Land - gatherers
Ah thanks
A bit late but thanks Wynne for answering my question
Are you able to get timecards in Game?
nope
The closest thing is a one-time free 14 days of subscription by leveling up a character to level 30 on a Preferred Server.
Damn. That's my local game store and it's literally 2 towns away -_-
Where would I go about acquiring centurio seals?
HW and SB and I assume ShB A- and S rank hunts
Do those come from Hunter-Scholars?
No. they just tell you the ranked hunts of the zone
Have you reached 2nd Lieutenant in your grand company?
Oh, yeah, you can do the hunt billboard, as well

I’m still a Corporal in Flames.
You'll need to reach 2nd Lieutenant to unlock the daily and weekly bills to make getting centurio seals much easier.
Also to be able to spend them, of course
Ah alright, thanks
I think I’ve been neglecting my hunting log for the company but I have max seals
Will work on ranking up
oh wow I didnt know this, thanks for the info! But what is the seals good for?
You can buy stuff like minions and glam
They're also used to buy old gear sets, one of the sets being the level 60 job gear
oh oh! Thats great, are there different type of seals?
Allied Seals for ARR hunts, Centurio Seals for HW/SB, and Sacks of Nuts for ShB
yes they are literal sacks of nuts
Hey anyone know the best equipment or matria for the samurai
!faq sambis
Thanks bro
Allied Seals for ARR hunts, Centurio Seals for HW/SB, and Sacks of Nuts for ShB
@obsidian patio Thanks! 🙂
hello, someone can help me for 50 stage of palace of death ? im on moogle
You need to try #retired-eu-datacentres @maiden spindle
Maybe someone will help but I'm not sure
ok ty
Some people don't play but maybe you'll find someone who may try to help you
But be warned that it requires people to be on 40th floor
anyone know a good farm for poetics?
@stable herald msq dungeons combo it with netflix xD
daily roulettes and the aetherochemical research facility also check pf for bonus like coils/alex @stable herald
but thats just for roulete, no?
there are so many dailies and special bonuses to get poetics that by the time you burn through them all you might have enough already
if you know people who haven't cleared the coil yet, the first time bonuses in there are good
and unsynced you can solo the entire coil pretty much
cool. Thanks!
hi, if i'm an inactive player who wants to prevent their fc house from being demolished, im guessing the only way to do this is if i re-subscribe for 1 month and step into the fc house?
is there any other way?
For FC houses, as long as someone in the FC enters the house regularly it will remain exempt from the auto-demolition. It does not have to be the FC leader (unless you're the only one in your FC).
thanks! there's only two of us and we're both inactive at the moment
it's not possible to be part of multiple FCs in this game yea?
Correct. Each character can only be in one FC at a time.
If I want my ffxiv duty find sound to sound even if minimized I just need that, right?:
Yes
oh, it's character bound. do you know if people offer, i guess, house sitting services?
You'll hear the chime as well as thr ticking countdown
I want it to stop hurting my ears.
noice

i.e. to pay gil for them to log into the fc house from time to time
I'm sure you could find someone who would be willing to do that for a fee.
I don't know that that's something people normally consider.
great. best way to do that would be to put up a notice on the PF yeah?
Probably?
does the character have to be in the same world to join my fc? or can they be visiting from a different world?
Yes, they must be on your world
okay, thanks!
Just remember that it's "buyer beware" when dealing with people on the internet. If you pay them up front, they can just take the money and run, leaving your house to be auto demolished.

how should I best try soloing shiva extreme at level 70 to farm her mount? I have a lvl 70 BLM, SCH, WHM, DRK, DNC, and SMN w/the NQ i385 gear.
I've gotten pretty far as SCH (which I've used for all the other primals to pretty good results), but I always die because she knocks me on the edge and freezes me
Any tank or healer should be able to at 70, I believe
After phase 1 ends, stand right next to the ice wall so that she spawns back in there
and then you can put your back to the center of the arena so that her knockback will not put you into a wall
shield should be strong enough even at 70 to be able to avoid the knockback, no?
Akh Afah Amphitheatre (Extreme) completion time: 13:18.
and somehow right after I got all that helpful advice I had a run where she didn't use knockback once
regardless, thanks. that advice got me the furthest I'd ever gotten in the run right before that
Do i have to complete every binding coil to unlock the second coil raids?
just need to complete turn 5
can i turn shards into crystals?
No

Me and a buddy started a palace of the dead run and now a third wants to join, is there a way to add him so we don't have to start over?
not if you're using a fixed party
How to know which mobs drop which items in Diadem?
Look at this
Ty!
for S5 (fulmination) am i suppose to just keep doing practice until we clear it? All non-practice parties require duty completion
If you've seen enrage, set up/join a Clear Party finder to attempt to get your clear. Dont worry about number of chests when you go to clear, getting the first clear is farrrrr more important then getting 2 chests on the clear
thanks, is a clear party finder ones without restrictions?
Typically yes, cause Clear groups are primarily for getting first clears. Weekly clears are different
ive reached the third 14 a few times but we never clear the dps check
i see, thanks!
Third fury 14 is enrage
are s6-8 as hard as s5?
Personally this tier difficultly wise
7 > 5 ≥ 6 >> 8
7s is a giant snooze fest once you know the strat for portals
is this considered end game? ive always been playing catchup until now i think
Pretty much
Savage is the (2nd) highest tier of content. Only content higher is ultimate which is primarily for the top 1% and pretty much for bragging rights and ultra shiny weapons and title
okay, thanks! Ill try to find a clear party ^^
songbird?
Hum?
Does this mean if I queue as healer I get 12600 exp bonus?
Yes
That's like. Jack shit really. Queue speed is incentive, of course, but it's not a big bonus.
you can only have up to four chat channels
those earrings look like they have the same stats, yes.

i finished the HW main quest line, is it worth for me to start the current event "rebuild ishgard" ? Most of my Class/Job quest are at 10.
you need to have finished patch 3.3 of HW
and you can start the ishgard restoration then, your crafting classes should be about lvl20 for easier crafting
Fyi ishgard restoration isn't an event...its permanent content
Good for levelling crafters
ah thought is only for 2 days
uff thanks thought i had to rush it
Restoration has been a thing since like 5.1
season 1 of the leadeboards ends then the crafting /restoration goes on
Is there any solid resource for dragoon BIS gear / melding / stat priority anywhere thats updated?
thought about finishing the hole main story and than start the crafting part
!faq Balance
thx
As a new player coming i wonder what job will fit me. I did some research on google but it seems there were some recent changes to the jobs. First i dont like tanks so their are out. I mostly player dps and like range and melee equally. I like these classes that work around dots/bleeds and i dont mind playing a more support oriented job? Can u recommend me sth?
Bard
^
Ranged job with dots and support
dnc is fun also
Alternatively summoner also has Dots, can raise, has raid buffs and solid dps. Is a caster
u can lvl play all jobs on 1 character so try them out and play what u like the most
I know that but id like to focus on one job first since it seems to take a while to level them to max level but thx
Do i find groups easy as bard/dancer?
As long as you're competent, yes
As usual, dps ques in duty finder are longer but that goes for a majority of mmos
Yeah i know that
So it will be bard and then i reevaluate at 60 if i change to dancer
Thx for your help guys
To use shirk properly I provoke then shirk?
one tank provokes, the other tank shirks
The off tank provokes then you/MT shirk
the tank that wants the boss provokes, the tank that's giving the boss away shirks

can someone tell me wth is that sway to music emote ( not the songbird with the glowstick one), your character basically just sway their head and arms left and right . It's killing me that no one can tell me what it is and where to get it
nevermind, found it. it's the Hum emote
for grade 2 crafting turn-ins at the firmament
does the collectability matter after 50?
i can't really get past 90 collectability or so
Based on your collectiblity
Ishgard Restoration guideBy I’nanghal Shikhu(Shikhu#3190) and The Balance discord: https://discord.gg/thebalanceffxiv Updated to 5.21 OverviewCraftingExpert CraftingGatheringRankingsKupo FortuneMacrosIshgard Restoration is a new piece of content added in 5.11 that a...
This has rotations for each level
Provided you hit the minimum stats listed
http://puu.sh/Fm3uQ/559b6f8187.jpg why can't I hand it in? I have all the materials
pick an option
Oh I didn't click a gem yeah I'm dumb dumb
^
so I'm looking at the next level of stats
what's the best way to get the gear for those stats
for example, the level 40 tier
gear's kinda 'whatever' until you hit level 50. using the "recommended gear" button will give you the best gear to be wearing at that time
before level 50 vendor crafting gear is fine
i'm not really gonna be able to get the level 40 diadem nodes until my botany is 40, right
my weaver is pretty far ahead of botany now

usually you can start getting nodes once they're within about two or three levels of yourself
assuming you have reasonable gear
but my weaver has way outleveled botany
so do I just stick to level 30 botany mats?
or maybe start on another profession?
Trying to pick up my first Anima weapon on AST. I've got one of each crystal from FATEs, but the quest is still locked and doesn't give me info. Do I have to do something else with these first?
go to mor dhona
second floor npc named Sydony or something like that
trade the crystals for astral and umbral nodes
then turn those in
@lucid orchid
Okay, gotcha. Thanks!
Quest text got a bit backward. Thought it was nodes or crystals, not Zodiac or crystals for nodes.
Where do i get fieldcraft demimateria III?
It would be more beneficial overall to do so, yeah
how much should i save up if i gonna buy a medium sized house?
that's a large
a medium house plot has a list price of 15-18 mil
however, start off smaller (literally) by buying a small house first
once a medium plot opens up, you can relocate immediately instead of hoping you manage to be the first one to win the click race before someone relocates into the open plot
Is that how it works? You don't have to compete with bots if you're relocating?
can you increasse the size of the house if you relocate it to a larger plot?
Yeah, basically what happens is if you own a plot already, you can skip the countdown timer to transfer to the new plot.
And yes, your old house will go away and you'll be able to construct a house matching the size of your new plot.
Good to know. Does that work for FC housing too? My FC wants to get a larger plot eventually
Yes, it does also work for FC houses.
how does it work money wise? I take it i still have to pay for a medium house in the end
I believe (but don't take my word on this as I have yet to even manage to nab a small plot), you pay the difference between what you paid for your old plot and the cost of the new one.
But then you have to pay to build the new house in its entirety.
Keep in mind that plot and house are paid separately.
that i am aware of
think i have enough for either a house or a plot but not sure which. have about 4 mil saved up ATM
You should have enough for a small plot IF you can find one.
If the wiki I'm looking at is accurate then when you relocate the new plot is discounted by 30% of the minimum value of your current plot
So not a lot but it's something
Plots on the market devalue every 12 hours or so until they are purchased, including the time spent waiting for the rng timer.
any word on if the firmament will be fixed for the next patch or is there more restoration after this?
Ishgard housing has been in the works for... awhile. There is currently no official confirmation on when that will become available.
By the way, is there any functional difference between 1st-class, etc, plots, or is it just because of location or something that their classified as such
Speculation puts it sometime after the Restoration of Ishgard is finished.
There is no functional difference between plots other than size, no.

Is there an easy way to switch from my gathering clothes to my regular set
you can save sets
how do you do that?
go to the character menu and then above your character portrait there is a button that looks like a piece of paper with writing on it
Click that and you can press the + to yeah register sets
and then you can put those sets on a hotbar or something for quick swapping
If you use the glamour dresser you can link glamour plates on the gearsets so you can swap glamours too
So if your warrior and dark knight are using the same gear but different glamours just swapping the gearsets would apply different plates so you can have. different glamours for different jobs that use the same gear
wow thanks
if that makes sense
the glamour stuff doesn't but the rest is great
b-basically you can have glamour outfits for each of your jobs you can swap between even if some jobs use the same exact gear
I'm not sure how I can put it simply tbh xD
yeah got it
you mean like you can drag the plate onto the hotbar?
As in you can link the plate to your gearset so when you equip the gearset it also applies glamours
ohhh yeah I see that option now
wow these crafting professions are well thought out!
can you make things that make good gil?
I mean my botanists skills are really cool
For the most part you can if you can find a niche that's generally unfulfilled but the real profit is getting into the cutting edge stuff as soon as it's released. Certain crafting materials that are out of the way or are otherwise a pain to get generally sell well relatively speaking.
I’m at Stormblood and it says to use smokebombs etc to escape; but I’m using a PS4 controller and I’ve tried everything, any idea how to use them?
While holding the trigger to use skills, click in your analog stick. Either one works I believe.
is there a site that has maps so if I want to search for a place on the map I can find it?
heavenswhere
This is likely a stupid question, but what's this little '?' bag icon indicate on the botany gathering panel?
It's not registered in your gathering log yet
aaah! thank you
(overall not important unless you're going for one of the log achievements)
contrary to the crafting ones, where it lets you quick synth?
Oh, your retainer also can't gather anything you haven't collected
