Pull him to the edge of the arena, stay close to him, heal people with doom to full HP, drag him out of the glowy stuff except the ones that tether to him, kill adds.
Sorry for nub question
hello, I heard dragoon is easy. I was thinking play monk, yet wonder if it would be much harder.
By doing mech :)
Look away when he cast soul douse (else need full heal)
Drag boss out of non tetthered totem
Destroy tetthered totem an adds
and slowly circle him around the area when needed to avoid totems
The totems are soo tanky o.o
you only kill the ones that tether to the boss
Only the tetthered
ignore the ones that don't
Monk is a lot more intensive on both positionals and GCD speed compared to dragoon
Ty!
okie
I think with 4 stacks of Greased Lightning they sit around a 1.9 second GCD
and all of their single-target GCD moves have a positional, making it 6 total

can i dye the stockings instead of the bloomers for the housemaid bloomers?
what's the easiest cheapest cordial you can get for gathering points?
thta isn't too bad
You cannot pick dye regions.
You can get normal cordials with Grand company seals
Does anyone know why I cannot find Lord Hien's attire on the Mog Station? Do I have to complete Stormblood to unlock it or something? Or is it a seasonal thing? 
its on page two of the character section
OMG, I feel like an idiot now. Thanks @twilit arch

can't help ya sadly but just remember to tick all languages on if you're in a non-na server for maximum matchmaking range
thanks anyways but what you said, how do i turn on all languages i am new so i dont know that much yet
in the duty finder window, there's a cogwheel at the top of the window. Click on that and then at the bottom of that window there's language settings. click on the letter to enable/disable them
oh okay thank, when i get back on the game i will do that, hope i can progress more
i plan buying completed edition in a few weeks but waiting for ff7 remake. And a mate is also buying the game
how do you get the tamamo headband?
From tokens obtained from the fate Outfoxed and Foxy Lady in Yanxia
ohh yeah this looks too annoying to do
do I have to level up my retainer before he can use my old level 70 gear 
because I thought he could just use it right off the bat
yes they need to be the level needed to wear the equipment

I heard that if i buy shadowbringers i'll get all the other expansions, so if i buy shadowbringers from g2a, do i still get all the older expansions?
why would you buy anything from g2a
just buy it from the square enix store
and yes you do get all the other expansions
yes, shadowbringers comes with the previous expansions regardless of where you buy it. That said though g2a afaik isn't an authorized third party seller, so you might want to be careful buying from them
I play on steam, so it redirects me to steam where it's 35 eur
If you play on steam then you can only buy the expansion from steam
codes from other sites will not work
well, that's not entirely true
if its a steam code, then yes it will work but generally its not safe buying from secondary sites like that
i've bought from there a lot doe
you're still taking a risk buying from a site like g2a
SE has gone on record saying they'll ban anyone buying a steam key from anywhere that isn't Steam
Its not worth the risk, just get it through Steam
ok
Don't wanna get bend, i'll get it on steam, thx
Before i buy it i wanna ask what endgame is like in this game?, people who make yt vids about it usually makes the vids because they like it
but what is it really like?, pvp pve etc
@twilit arch @slate arrow Thanks for the help i managed to complete it 🙂
@proven cliff PVP doesnt have many players and its not an endgame activity. the majority of players either collects glamour items to make pics for their characters instagram account or goes raiding. there are also some that focus on crafting/gathering (moneymaking) or social stuff etc
be aware that it is a game with a big focus on story, so it will take quite some time before you reach the endgame
and everything is locked behind story
;_;
Been playing bdo for some years now, im used to getting in and just kinda grinding for hours on end in the same mob rotation to get to endgame
ah well both games are very different from each other
big advantage in ffxiv is just that you can do and learn everything on a single character, so you only have to do stuff once
there is casual raiding for the story and then there is savage raiding for the challenge. in general the raids are often praised because they can be real fun if you have a decent group
the "hard" raids are usually 8 players. there are also 24man raids, but they are also rather casual
how do they compare to mythic raids in wow?, (current tier)
Is it equally hard, or easier?
Savage raids are around heroic or early mythic bosses
Ultimate raids are usually around end of mythic difficulty
ahh ok
sorry for the stupid questions, just wanna make sure i spend my money right:P
definitely check out the trial if you havent done that already
because the combat system and early story is what makes most people quit, although it really does get better the further you progress
i bought the starter pack thing yersteday
got to lvl 12 before swapping job or whatever it's called, and got to 20 with that
played for about 13 hours straight, so it's ok fun so far, just the amount of run and talk quests
is a bit much
you arent doing every sidequest you see, are you?

no..
but in regards to mainstory quest: after 50 it drastically changes for the better
only main quests
i do:P
love the fact you can do everyone on one character in this game. i dont have much more in me than one character to create/maintain lol
yeah thats useful. you dont even need to create a new character if you want to experience the story again, due to the newgame+ feature now
though ive been slowly nursing the main story and it drags hard through ARR
heard good things about the expansions though, really good things
especially between 50 and 51 yes. but it really gets a lot better
i've never really cared about storys tbh, doesn't really interest me, but is the game as much running from a to b as it is now?
nah
the story starts to pick up in terms of a general storyline past 20 or so
i mean, of course you will still have such quests from time to time, but they kinda created ARR within a year and didnt really have the time to work on better quests, so they did as good as they could.
heavensward, the first expansion, had way more development time and it really shows
i skip all the cutscenes and dialogs:P
you should at least watch the voiced ones later on
if it isn't absolutely necessary im not really gonna get into it, story doesn't really interest me
there's a lot of story in this one
i tend to skim through the little quest dialog but sit back and enjoy the cutscenes
I just don't really enjoy storys:P
i guess you're enjoying the gameplay then?
probably one of the best MMO's ive played in regards to combat, just one casuals opinion. the focus on positioning and AoE dodging, and the ability to lock the camera on to enemies, is understated
played WoW for a few weeks and it felt very messy in comparison
bdo has amazing combat imo, you have to actually learn the combos, not just press a hotbar button, since they abbilities are smth like Shift+right click, and S+Right click, etc
i played bdo for like a day since its on xbox game pass, i liked the concept but i dunno if it was lag or the animations but it wasnt a very smooth experience
It really depends tho
On pc if you have a good pc, it feels quite smooth
Learning the abbilities is more important than people realize
my xbox one probably doesnt line up to a good pc 😄 it was a nice looking game but something was off about the combat. disjointed
most people get to 56 and think the class isn't "smooth enough", but you need to get to about lvl 60 in order to get all of the skills and flows, makes it smoother to play:P
but yeah, pc is a musthave because of the Iframes etc in bdo
It's a bit stupid ngl
depends on the exact class in terms of feeling "complete"
yeah, i dunno. i dont mean smooth as far as abilities or anything, i mean on a technical level
Ninja and sorc needs 60 to really feel smooth and good imo
Ahh ok
yeh that's cuz of xbox
hard to explain, i dont mean framerate either. like that rubberbanding feeling old games used to get from lag
Personally Ninja feels their first form of "complete" once you get Armor Crush because you no longer need to use Huton outside the first time.
which makes mudras a lot easier to think about
please keep the bdo talk to #video-games-general
true
Sorry kael
Now the question comes down to, what class am i gonna play, i'll boost a char to 70, my friend did and gotta play with him instead of playing alone;)
pretty much every class is viable so it doesn't really matter, they all can do MSQ just fine
Any specific class archetype you like?
there are some expansion-only jobs that can be unlocked
!faq meta
^ Usually surprise newcomer
I enjoy a speedy playstyle, I played a ton of ninja and sorc in bdo, so anything like that?:P
Ninja here is speedy too xD
The Melee DPS besides Lancer/Dragoon have a decently fast GCD
In terms of speed it's Monk > Ninja > Samurai IIRC
Was looking at Red Mage, that bard thing, or sam/ninja
Bard does a good amount of button mashing with their procs
Um, rdm is simple class (which is fine if you like it) and not busy
Sam rotation is nice and flowy
seems like dragoon doesnt have many AOE abilities/combos til later on. what DPS classes are more focused on AOE?
melee DPS in particular
if any
Eh, none?
They all have an AoE rotation, but AoE itself generally isn't a thing people worry about
really? feels like dancer at least would be a bit more spinny lol
a majority of fights are against one target, two at most rarely.
Red mage, bard, or sam, any of them which are bad in pvp/pve, or any of em which are etter than the other
I don't keep up with PVP meta at all. 🤷♂️
most dungeon pulls are 2+ from what ive seen
they are all okay but you cant start as red mage or sam
Rdm and bard are support dpses, while sam is selfish.....
yes, but dungeons are casual content
Eh, nobody "care" about dungeon
Any combination of classes will melt big pulls in less than a minute usually.
yup, dungeons are the lowest "tier" of group content
Its the people not the class
yup. pretty relaxed
So bard is a support class, but in what sense?, healer or just giving buffs while still dpsing?
buffs yup but its still a DPS first
it just has more support ablities than ~~most ~~ all of the other DPSes
only Healers can truly heal properly
ever other class with heals are for emergency or desperation
how should I be getting my gear, dungeons or buying
@dusk zenith not sure about most but Machinist is pretty up there with their Hypercharge windows, you need to use 1.5 second GCD moves while weaving in an oGCD to not overcap on charges
for pre-50 I do a mix of vendor and dungeon gear. Past 50 I stick to Tomestone and dungeon stuff unless the HQ crafted gear is super cheap
what is tomestone?
Types of currency obtained from level 50/60/70/80 content which can be spent on gear.
how often do fates reset? trying to get one for a daily allied hunt but it hasn't appeared in like 10-15 mins
also am I restricted to level 70 if I dont have shadow bringers or can I level to 80 and just cant do the content itself
Do you have stormblood registered?
btw how long does it take to level from 1 to 70?
Probably a week or two depending on your queue times, if you started on a preferred world, and if you’re watching cutscenes and reading dialogue.
In terms of your first time through the story
I do have stormblood registered

Then you can only level up to 70
ah
can't figure it out for the life of me
How the fuck do i get around?, i need to get from black shroud to La noscea,
No idea how tf i do that
Use the airships that the story showed you.
I can't remember where it is
Bottom floor of the adventurers guild for Gridania
it's not exactly because this game has a good map XD
Gridania guild hall basement floor
is the miniature aetheryte from GC a decoration or will it let me tp to my apartment?
Both
Apartment nu
But it can only be placed outside
You can teleport to your apartment by default
how
other than just going to the city state and using the aetheryte to get to the housing area
Through the teleport menu
oh shit
You can teleport directly to your apartment and any housing you’re part of that have that furniture in the yard
Btw stupid question, for the circle with indicator on how many needed to stand on it like oborne thunder boss and light rampant, what would happen if more people stand on it than necesarry?
do people teleport around in this game? or do people go to the airships every time?
ppl always teleport around
I've never seen ppl actually go for airships unless it's for MSQ
Depends on the exact mechanic
For TG Cid nothing happens if more people than needed stack
Hmmm how bout e8 normal?
Same thing for normal
Savage mixes it up with attacks during that phase giving stacks that make you explode the party if you get too many
oof

Hi! Can someone please explain frontline to me? It’s a total cluterfuck and I have no idea wtf is going on. I’m level 55 BLM. Am I just too low level/new to be participating? I died 6x yesterday 🤦🏻♀️
is there jeweler vendor that sells 71-74 gatherer items? the one in crystarium only has combat rings and stuff
no
@hot eagle thanks! Is it mostly higher level players?
frontlines is equalized
so it doesn't matter what level you queue into it, everyone is same stats/lvl
your lvl and gear means nothing in pvp/frontline
Player Attributes (Job and Item Level)
When entering a PvP instance, all player attributes will be updated to their PvP counterparts.
It's been a while since I played frontline, but it has a few different objectives, like take over people's bases or kill nodes fastest. As blm keep your distance and look for your healers when you're hurt.
I reached top 100 for the Ranked Ishgard leaderboard but I dont know what the reward is

@jagged jungle u get an item per mail which u use to unlock the archivment/title
Probably a title
neat
Can someone tell me the name of this chocobo outfit? Thanks
@ember ferry awesome. Thanks!
how long does it take for a fate to reappear, bc I've been waiting for one for like 10-15min

@frosty badger https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Suzaku_Barding
how long does it take for a fate to reappear, bc I've been waiting for one for like 10-15min
@forest laurel best u can do to make it spawn faster is do other fates since in a region can only be specified numbers of fates active at the same time, so long nobody does them or they timeout no new one spawns
gotcha
also about how would I rank up beyond second lieutenant? do I need to do the squadron stuff?
Yes
Thanks @hot eagle
the flagged missions
no gunbreaker armor sets? Or how if there is one
What do you mean?
is it possible to buy standard edition on steam just for the play game time even tho i have an account with shadowbringers already ?
Don't know about the game time
Because steam sends you a key to activate through mogstation
So it probably won't work
thing is i got steam wallet money to waste cuz i have no use of it but i cant buy game time with steam wallet because i bought the game somewhere else
If you currently have it on PC, no. If you currently have it on PS4 or Mac, I think so.
yea i have it normally on pc not steam
fml idk what to use the steam wallet money on
rekt
if you rebuy a mac/ps4 base version for your account
youll get 30 days
you cant add a steam one though as you already a pc version registered to your account
with pc its pick one or the other basically Steam or Non Steam
basically i gotta find something esle to spend my steam wallet on lol
how do i levelup my alt class? potd?
yes potd till 51 i think?
Depends on the role and how efficient you want to be and what level
roulettes always to start with
what level can i start doing potd?
1
tanks and healers just want to spam highest level leveling dungeon after that
DPS like Deep Dungeons like Palace of the Dead and Heaven on High since dungeon queues are long. If you can queue with a friend dungeon spamming is better
Also it's PotD to level 60 then the 59 dungeon to 61 then Heaven on High to 70 then 69 dungeon to 71 then highest level dungeon spam
It is Seji
so just regular dungeon would do for leveling up then?
potd only beats out dungeons, generally, if your queues for dungeons are longer than 15 mins
Highest level dungeon thats not 50 60 70 then
well if dungeons are faster thats even nicer to hear for me lol
something new rather than boring potd spam over and over 😄
meh i purchased 30 days activated it and steam still says the account doesnt have game time lol

Is #603040765723148289 the appropriate place to recruit folks for my Eden Savage static party?
Or is it only for FC recruitment?
i see people recruiting for statics in chaos recruitment
Same for primal
Ok I'll assume it's OK then. Thanks!
when is next ishgard restoration ranking? i stared late on the first one, so could only end up at top 30
my guess is 5.3
if they antsipated bot and no lifers inflating their scores (so easiest fix is to have short, multiple seasons using new mats each time so can't hoard the gathered things)
ok thx
do you need paladin unlocked or can u just buy the boost from the mog station when u have a level 1 gladiator
don't even need to have gladiator unlocked to buy/use the boost
all that matters is if you have the appropriate expansion applied to your account
How does costumes and new apperances work in this game?
Is it some kind of transmogging?
"What is Glamour and how do I unlock it?"
Glamour is the process of changing an equipment's look into a different item with the use of Glamour Prisms. You can unlock the ability to glamour by doing the level 15 quests "If I Had a Glamour" in Vesper Bay, West Thanalan. Although not required to unlock Glamour, you can unlock the ability to dye gear with the nearby quest "Color Your World". You can get the Orange Juice needed by talking to the nearby Merchant & Mender and choosing "Purchase Items".
"How do I glamour? Where do I get more Prisms?"
Glamouring is done by right clicking (Square or X on controllers) on the equipment you want to have a different look and choosing the option "Cast Glamour". After clicking this you choose the item you want the appearance on the right half of the menu that opened up. You can get more Glamour Prisms by either crafting them after completing the quest "Absolutely Glamourous", buying them from your Grand Company Quartermaster, or by buying them from the marketboard.
thx
any recommendations for where to level from 50-60? on a dps job so im guessing dungeon spam can be difficult
If you can grab a healer/tank to abuse quick que times, do dungeon. Else Palace of the dead. Remember your Vath/Vanu beast tribes
whys materia tier VI gives more stats than VII?
because t6/t8 materia can only be overmelded once
t7 is used for mainly for overmelding, in general
What does "Suitable for printing on small canvases" mean?
so which tier i should be using for my deepshadow gears?
t6 or t8
you can get fish paintings now, they come in 4 sizes: small, medium, large, and extra large @weak flume
no, they go to 7
I mean, they technically cap out at 4, yes
But once you do the final quest, after maxing them all, they'll be at 7
but no slogging it from 4 to 7 yes?
you're put at 7 instantly once you complete the quest
phew thanks
Is it possible to hide this?
@twilit arch Oh, cool. How do you do that?
Thanks!
i've heard stuff about how i should be using lvl65 set instead of scaeven for tanking
why is that?
the level 65 dungeon gear is just when the gear starts to actually become better than scaevan
That's really it
75
whys eden verse savage so hard
numbers are hard
Q_Q
because savage isn't intended to be easy
Nooo
scaevan is lvl 70 gear
^
yeah i know, thats why iwas confused about using a lower lvl tanking set
they probably mean 75, not 65
neat. thanks!

Is there a spot for lvl 70 FSH in diadem?
Yes
Could you tell me where please?
Hi everyone, I'm new to the game, currently playing on Trial edition but I noticed I have a Heavensward key not yet unlocked on my account, that I had gotten for free in the past. Does that Heavensward include ARR? I'm just trying to figure out the cheapest way to get all expansions, since Complete Edition is $60 right now
no, hw does not include arr
so there's no point in redeeming the key
well, its up to you
Does all food grant a 3% EXP bonus, or are there foods that grant more?
you could buy the base game and redeem the hw code, if you're not completely sold on the game yet
and wait for a sale to buy shadowbringers
@wanton fox Do you use the Steam or the standalone client?
Ah, that's true since the base game comes with 30 days game time right? I am 100% sold on it 🙂 I guess it just depends when shadowbringers would go on sale. @half pulsar I use the standalone cleitn
yes, it does
Is there a spot for lvl 70 FSH in diadem? If so, could you tell me the location?
ah, I see. I play on Steam and bought Shadowlands at 50% off a couple months ago
but I don't know if the standalone client was on sale at the same time
is there any downside to using the steam client to play rather than standalone?
you can't switch between the version
so if you got standalone now, you can't switch
without starting again at least
ah okay
well since you don't own the full game yet
you could go to steam full game, if you wanted
the main "problem" with steam is that you're locked into steam for any and all future purchases
but at the same time, you're also able to use steam wallet to pay for your sub/optional items
yeah, but that's not really a problem, and I think many steam users would prefer to have their payment method with Steam than with SE
same thing with mogstation tho
like for me Steam is slightly cheaper on expansions, cause they convert to my currency instead of Euro
it's also easier to have it alongside the rest of your collection if you play on Steam
but i can't go steam cuz i have everything on mog ;o;
But my HW key is SE, so it probably won't work in steam
I've only started playing the game today and I've just met all the requirements for the 'A Sheepish Request' mission, but it won't let me complete it, why is that?
@twilit arch Thank you for your help! I think I'll go the route of buying the base game then buying shadowbringers as I slowly work my way through the content
happy to help, hope you enjoy yourself
@feral crane it might be you have to turn them in. If you talk to the quest NPC, you should get a dialog where you can drag in the quest items
That's where I am at. The 'complete' option is faded and it won't let me select it
you got the dialog? And you dragged in the meat from your inventory?
Yes
Is there any news on lifted gender restrictions for glamour items? I know there was the wedding stuff that had lifted restrictions, but what of other sets like the butler/housemaid outfits?
Hang on, Blend, I'm gonna try to see if the quest works for me
Ok, thank you
Can you screenshot Blendini?
I think I know what might be the issue
Because that quest gives you optional rewards, as in, you have to select a reward before you can complete it
its something they said that they will be working on slowly over time @gritty quarry
OH
yeah, if it says options, you need to select one
@twilit arch Yeah, I completely get that. I was more so curious if they were items that were already out, or a list of planned items.
no, and its pretty unlikely they'll give us a list of planned items
There was a datamined list on Reddit as far as I'm aware, but it got deleted or something.
Ok, the quest completed. Thanks for the help
the only way we'll know for sure when those items are made gender neutral is with patch notes
Okay, that's fair enough. I appreciate the help.
The question was prompted by seeing a male Hyur with the housemaid items on but, that doesn't seem to be working for me so I assume that's not meant to happen yet.
Aside from hand-me down gear you can give them, is there any difference to what class/job you assign your retainer?
They only level to the same level as tou in that class
Ah, so you can pretty much just make them the same job you main?
Yup
If you want to craft having a miner or botanist helps a little to get pesky mats or shards
Since battle classes have them slay monsters for mats, does making them a DPS help or anything?
All combat retainers have thw same loot pool
Ah, got it. Thanks for the help, all!
You might get a fish or a wind shard regardless of their level or gear
what are the best weapons at lv 60 again?
I know its the Shire set for armor
but I don't see a weapon
Just get Augmented Shire for 600 poetics, finding a group to savage raid Alex is not worth it
you need to buy 10x Rowena's Tokens (Scripture) and 1x Micro Tomestone from the poetics vendor
and trade it to the girl next to her for the weapon
ah I see

um how do i unlock duty roulette level 80 dungeons and expert?
On Lodestone, is it possible to view someone's other classes besides the one that is presented?
(On the Profile tab that is, so I can see gear/stats)
lvl 80 roulette requires you to unlock Amourot (msq), The Twinning (unlock is in crystarium), and Akadaemia Anyder (unlock is in eulmore). Expert requires The Grand Cosmos and Anamnesis Anyder, both of which are msq
thanks!
no, no way to see their gear/stats for other jobs beyond the one that's currently showing
What determines what is currently showing? Is it whatever class/job they are playing at the current moment? How long will it take to update if they change to a different one?
If I boost a Dragoon, how do I get the Drachen armour level 45/50 quest rewards please?
whatever job they logged out on, or where on when the lodestone did the up date
from the calamity salvager in any of the 3 starting cities @glass eagle
@twilit arch Thankyou
hey guys, i used to play on america for my friend awhile back, i was just wondering if i can move my character from a data center over to a different one?
Hello, is this channel where I can ask for help with content ?
To do content I mean
@brave flame yes that should be possible if you purchase the world transfer service
@blissful lava you might have more luck in the datacenter specific channels or their recruiting channels
Oh wow, really!!! Thanks!!!!
Thank You @dusky nest
Which server would be considered 2nd best for aussie people? cause i heard tonberry is congested and we can't get in atm

which dungeon does the genta set drop from? none of the google searches actually tells me how to get it

Genta is basically a undyeable/easier set to get than genji, right?

i mean there is an recipe named
other master recipe
that's the demimateria books, you get them by trading 1x Fieldcrafte Demimateria 1 and 1x Battlecraft Demimateria 1 to Talan in Mor dhona
what na server has a strong population, has good raiding and hunting communities, and is also crafter/gatherer friendly?
datacenter is the term you are looking for
also i dont see how one server could be more friendly to gatherers than another
i was just looking at a server guide on reddit
seems like the servers are very different from one another
in terms of population they are fairly balanced
and content is done across the datacenter anyway
can i hop between worlds in 1 data center freely?
there might be a queue if a server has lots of people on them, but otherwise you can hop servers yeah
just remember that its not a permanent transfer
but rather a temporary visit to another server
dungeons, raids, trials, you queue across the entire datacenter for that stuff yeah
partyfinder is usually also across datacenter, unless you set it up to be server only
as for hunts, that should also work. at least i remember people jumping to different servers for S-Rank hunts
ahh alright
well currently im on crystal and thinking about switching to primal then
seems like its more active, has a higher raiding and hunting community as well
Do we have a rough date when 5.25 drops? e.e sorry if this was asked before
Ooh, ty 😄
Is Faerie good for a new casual player?

Cool beans. I've got Holy
Should I keep using it in mob packs?
I.e. spam it unless tank is dying?
Yes. Holy is basically a free tank cooldown in reducing the amount of damage they take for groups
In a small number of cases you want to use it even with no stun benefit as a basic aoe dps
Yes you have to get in bad breath range to use it unlike ast gravity
Pretty good although depends on view settings and where things are when you're casting (when the server is snapshotting what will be effected)
The tooltip has range so a lot of that is ballparking what a yalm means on screen
Aite.
Do i also get a better heal? My cure 1 at 45 is a bit meh
Cures.. i dunoe.. ballpark 15% -ish?
Usually i use it with regen but at tail end of fights, im not sure if i5's worth it
Its
Cure 2 is the next bread and butter single target heal followed by an ogcd which charges during fights and is free/fast (want to say at 56)
After that assize is your best friend until get to shadowbringers content with the aoe ogcd
I mean at what point is it more worthwhile to use cure 2 than 1
The moment you get it
Around end of arr and heavensward can delete cure 1 mentally amd use regen for low healing priority topoffs
I want to say stone vigil is the breaking point
You can especially delete it after getting lily heals
Well... im 45. So uh..
Lucid is enough mana
delete cure???
I think still a ways to go
Eww sync
Migjt want to keep it until youre sure wont be getting low level dungeon in roulette
I suppose. But its not a priority skill, yes?
Its the lowest priority
But cure 1 can trigger free cure?
Ogcds heals > Regen and Lily heals > Cure 2 > Cure
Free cure is a noob trap
Whm has basically infinite mana
Interesting
Lucid is enough mana for everything
Durr
till you die, and lucid is on cooldown
In theory yes but if really need cure 2 there's little point to fishing for a freebe unless it's dps in healing need and not the tank
I was wonderin if i was overhealing
Thin air is mich more useful as a panic button
Slap regen on the tank, holy away, cure 2 when they're like 50% or so then holy again
Anyway. Thanks guys!
Overhealing is for savage content. Dont worry as long as things are cleared and you can build the confidence in skills to contribute to group dps
Is it possible to change your character's race?
Aits
Use a fantasia @wanton fox
Oh cool, thank you
Retainers can only have one class right?
Yes
For some reason I remembered them being able to take 3 lol
Nope
They can swap jobs , but going from a job to a new class resets their level
Going from Class to job keeps leveld
Going from Class to job
As in GLD > PLD for example?
Yes
Your level will be retained if going fron gld to pld
Or Gld to Any expansion job
Ah, didn't know they could get jobs
But going from PLD or some other expansion job to a lower job will have them lose all EXP permanently?
not any expansion job
all jobs have their level independent from each other
However, all classes share EXP will their job
So like vinyl said, going from Gladiator to Paladin will have Paladin adopt the Gladitor's current level
And gladiator will always be the same level as paladin
Meanwhile, if you go pick up Red Mage, it starts at level 50 and will level up only red Mage if you're playing as red mage
So if you're a level 60 paladin and you pick up Red Mage, your red mage is level 50 and your paladin will not gain exp while you're playing red mage
I think I got most of that, but it's still somewhat more confusing than I thought it'd be, so I might look up a more detailed guide @_@
Thanks!
tl;dr all jobs gain EXP independent of each other, you can't "lose" exp in regular content
where do I get reshade? I wanna try it out for gposing
Google it
is there a way to see if I have an item in my glamour dresser? like before I buy something from a vendor
gee thanks
guess I'll just try to see how Espresso Glow from #ffxiv-screenshots works out
do i have to complete all the coils of bahamut to unlock the final turn ones?
You need to complete the final "turn" in each set to unlock the next set
So T5 unlocks 6-9
T9 unlocks 10-13
Also, if I'm trying to level up my squadron is it best to do it through training or missions?
@faint flare I'm a bit confused tbh, been trying to unlock final turn 2
A spectacle for the ages how do you avoid that death move?
You need to Turn 9 (second coil turn 4) to unlock finap coils
all ok tyty
Which requires clearing Turn 5 in binding coils to unlock
Oh you kill the swords
How does one go about getting umbrellas?
Ishgard restoration
Black is via scrips, blue is from the kupo cards
Or just buy off market board
@faint flare how hard is it to get into Ishgard Restoration when i just started a crafting job yesterday

So the Prism thingys, how many times can i use a single item and how does it work?, kinda confused
Or a lv10 gatherer to gather mats in diadem for wxrips
Diadem? What's that?
Ah...
Has all the restoration mats in there
I really should try my hand in that
I've just been spending time fishing in god knows where
Go there via the missiom command guy inside the firmament
And i need a new prism every time i want to apply the look to an item?
If you do it manually and not via glamour plates
If you use glamour plates, you only pay to put the item in the glamour dresser...using the plate to apply the glamour costs nothing
Glamour plates are basically premade templates you create and can apply whenever you're in a city
Technically, there's advantages and disadvantages to both sides.
Just plates have most of the advantages
you can access the glamoru dresser in any inn room btw
Or squadron barracks
The only real disadvantages to plates are:
1)You can only set in cities/edit in inns
2)The limit of slots in your dresser
That's about it
i left squad out because he is still new and i dont think he has them already
Shush, that too
Yeaaah
Admittedly, what I want now is bigger apartments, or give me an outdoor balconey
please, I want to use my outdoor furnitures
also let me place a glamour dresser in housing too
is there a way to see if I have an item in my glamour dresser? like before I buy something from a vendor
Sorry if I missed a response earlier
rightclick on the item and hit that search button
it will then search your char and tell you if its somewhere
pretty sure it doesn't show for your glamour dresser though
!faq blmleveling
what can i do as a collectable rotation with 700gp
im short on stats to properly make a collectable at 470 to turn in scrips
tl;dr discirning eye -> impulsive -> if discirning eye pops, use single mind, else discirning eye again -> impulsive -> discirning eye/single mind -> methodical or impulsive, depending on how lucky you feel
yeah that's what i've been doing
then just keep doing that
i suppose its really my stats that crippling my collectability
probably
Is there a live database somewhere that lists what things are priced at on the MB by server? Like if I wanted to check the public value of MIN gathered stuff on Leviathan?
Ooh neat
if i don't remember my security question password, that means the account is gone for good ?
You could contact customer support
If you can prove your identity I'm sure they can do something
But they don't do weekends
Customer Support is offline for CV safety
Is it?
Yep, it’s on the launcher
o-oh
Hmm rip xD
Find another game til they come back I guess.. 😅
Or really think about what your security question is xD
Just be careful you don’t lock it down :p
i'm gunna keep trying untill it broke
Lmao good luck
Mmmn, new question. I'm looking up Manasilver Nuggets, and I'm not sure I'm understanding their source correctly via GamerEscape's listing; it's saying they come from Gliderskin maps deciphered from Timeworn Gazelleskin maps?
So they can't be mined or anything?
You make the nuggets as goldsmith
Using manasilver sand and silver ore @hidden lotus

How does every one get so many elements crystals and shards
Gathering...desynthesis....Aetherical reduction...hell shooting corrupted sprites in diadem if you want
You can also grow shards
Hey. I’m doing BLM relic reborn (stardust rod) I need a sanguine scepter melded with Materia etc etc. If I buy a scepter off the MB it’s 100k. Then I would need to find someone to meld it. Is this worth it or should I just pass?😬
its really just a glamour weapon, so you can also just stop for now and come back later
Or, also, you can send Retainers out for them
Do younlike the look of the relic at any particular step?
Plus you can just use materia melders to meld things
Wasnt there something in the patches about anyone being able to meld materia now?
Not particularly? I’ve never had anything melded so far. And I’m currently using a LV 46 Water Brand. The only appeal of the relic was the higher level
Let's say i want to buy an item for Glamour, it's disciple of magic, can i use that on my disciple of war items?
I remember seeing a list somewhere of what each mob in the Diadem dropped what, but I can't remember where I found it. Does anyone happen to have it saved or linked somewhere?
the relics used to be endgame weapons, however now that you can quickly catch up gearwise and even outlevel it, they lost all their worth and are only used for glamour now
so its not worth grinding them to get a higher ilvl
Ah ok. Thank you!
Let's say i want to buy an item for Glamour, it's disciple of magic, can i use that on my disciple of war items?
nah, can only fit the appropriate classes unless the item says its useable on all
@little swift can i crwate a macro?
Alsoo
Do i need to use glamour everytime i change one part of the gear or am i doing something wrong?
yes you have to reglam
^
If you just make a glamour plate and link it to your gearset it basically applies the glamours automatically whenever you equip the gearset which makes stuff like that a lot faster
How much money is considered a lot of money?, is 1m a lot?, and how long does it take to make that etc
since the game economy is inflated a lot usually starts around 50 to 100 million
1 mil isn't too hard to make but depends a lot on what sort of content you can do or what you can sell on market board
if you can't drop 3mil and not blink you're not rich
server hop, maybe you can get it for half as much or even lower
what you mean?
@wintry chasm can you explain glamour plate?
No idea how all that works, i just make a new char or smth?
pfft oh God Shida
Pfft?
how do you get achievement certificates cause it seems that when I complete achievements i still dont get them
But does this glamour plate cost new glamour pieces?
from a main aetheryte (gridania, uldah, limsa etc . . . )
you can switch what server you're currently on to another one
the mb are separated
so prices may vary
so each city has thier own price?
well world
Wdym @odd bobcat
world visit
when im at my char screen=?
say you're on chaos - spriggan world, you can go to chaos - cerberus world
@odd bobcat Your points get converted to cerificates as you talk to Jonathas. I...want to say the conversion rate was something like 10 points to one certificate but I don't remember
You can visit different servers on youe data centre and buy from their market boards
The world visit option is at the main aetheryte in the major cities
@wintry chasm ?
Im asking if glamour plate cost glamour prism everytime i change an iten
think he meant to tag me shida
I need to have it read to me like a childrens book
there's picture in that thar link
But does this glamour plate cost new glamour pieces?
@odd bobcat
It costs prisms to put items into the dresser but putting gear into plates and applying the plates don't cost anything
No plates dont cost anything
like a picture book
Only cost to put stuff in
with numbered steps 😛
shida: no, once something is converted to the dresser it costs nothig to apply
You click on "visit another world server" @proven cliff
@odd bobcat you can do something like /countdown 20 in your macro
What the dark glamour prism does?
Remove glamour
Dispellers remove the glamour and reverts the item back to its original look
Whats the song playing here called?
@hoary stormdoes i get my glamour back?
Dragonsong
The theme of Heavensward
||yes||
Whats the next dlc?
I jusr finished ramuh does it will take too much to get to heavens ward? I want to main dafk knight
You're on patch 2.3 of 2.5 Shida
Im excited for that
@Calfirma#838 how do i see that?
Everything past that is all basically Heavensward set up
Dont know
You don't see it
Ohh
I just know it
@noble pollen You still have some patches to go bear in mind
oh if you decide to look at that @odd bobcat be careful since obviously some quest names are spoilers
so if i want to remove a glamour of an iten i need those black stuff?
Yes, you need dispellers if you want to remove a glamour completely
how do i see how it was originaly?
If you just want to apply another glamour you dont need to remove btw
i cast a wrong glamour
I tried the game, kinda enjoyed it, bought it, got bored but fucking hell im loving it rn
Use a dispeller to get it back to its original look
Right click the item > cast glamour > Remove
there are two different rocks, a glamour prism and a glamour dispeller
prism adds, dispeller removes
You need glamour dispeller this is where you can buy them
the dispeller is the darker-colored one
What's the right topic if I'm looking for help with finding items for a glamour?
Er right channel
does #endgame-discussion count or is that too much of a meme w
Feels like not what the people there would be expecting
Glamour is endgame so....
Noooo
see?
So I'm trying to make an outfit that looks somewhat like this
I'm thinking the crafted Ramuh sword, but no idea on the coat
Yeah I can't think of a coat that'd have all those features but it does kinda feel like some of the Heavensward gear
¯_(ツ)_/¯
You can get these items called "Emperor's New XXXXX" and they are invisible
and you just glamour them on
That's Snow's coat, Reyes?
iirc they're in Horizon in Western Thanalan?
Bohemian's Coat
Vesper Bay after you do a
you need crafters a certain level for @forest laurel
what is the clear prism?
You can use those to make glamour prisms and stuff Shida
The Emperor stuff?
Mhor Dhona
Oh, didn't know it was sold there
here
dumb question, if i do the zodiac -> anima upgrade, can i go back and buy the zodiac if i wanted?
I'm just trying to remember the
name that you need to do before you can buy it
Anyone wanna help with light farm? we dont have a tank 😦
You need to do this THEN you can buy the emperor stuff from the vendor
You don't want to get crafting to level 15 then you can buy it on the marketboard for what is most likely going to be an inflated price
@leaden ginkgo You...should be able to buy a replica
IIRC
should be able to get a replica per major step
just the replicas? so you can't have a real zeta and a real lux at the same time if you do the upgrade? rip
i like 2 gilgamesh
is POTD a viable option for a tank to level? never done it before and it's getting tiring waiting for ppl to show up for Stone Vigil
Sure you can Spy
check drake in north shroud before turning in to skip crystal step
though i guess gilgamesh collects shoddy replicas anyway
Just do the the relic quest line for ARR again /s
nooooo
or just don't do the upgrade thing. It doesn't save a lot of time anyway
It saves you...what? A few hours?
yeah i'm just gonna do it normally
can have both you just have to do the first anima stage normally

how do i dye armor?...
You unlock dyeing in Vesper Bay in Western Thanalan
Have to do the quest "Colour your World" in Vesper Bay and then yeah you can right click and dye
But bear in mind not all gear is dyeable
Dyeable items have a circle in the top-right of their icon
gotchu, thx
where do people get that giant thunder horse mount
The big furry looking one? It's from a special stormblood fate in The Lochs
Can anyone explain what "housing glitches" are? My friend said he wants to get an actual "designer" to decorate the house because of glitches. But it makes no sense to me.
is it guaranteed drop or you have exchange stuff for it?
You need to do it enough to get enough of the ixion horn rewards to trade in for the mount in Rhalgr's Reach
ohhh
Thres another giant thunder horse mount in the block 
Not much to really explain. Glitching furniture to go where they aren't meant to or fit in ways they aren't meant to to make the house look way cooler @sturdy mason
eg make items float to make staircases
Glitching is a feature or an abuse of bugs? That part is unclear to me
Bug abuse technically, but SE won’t go after people unless they use it to get out of bounds of their house
^
I see. How does one find a "designer" for this?
Doesn't really hurt or anything
For other lv50 jobs that share that piece of gear
Ironworks gets beaten out after lv53, 55 if upgraded
kk
@sturdy mason you have to make housing friends/ask around/network, and join housing discords basically for the fastest way
or you get good at it
glitching furniture is needed to make stuff float where it doesn't usually behave like that. e.g. stairs cannot be rotated so most of us will shove it on a partition and do a trick to make it float. another e.g. is that lofts do not hold anything up there, theyre totally useless unless you glitch items to snap to the "floor"
and if you do it wrong, it'll all fall back down and you have to redo it. also it's very hard to do these things on controller lol
you can go there for ideas too
japanese also figured out crazy shit like making a glitch elevator on the outside of the house
What EU world would you recommend to start your very first adventure ?
The preferred worlds give a big experience boost (+100% for all classes until level 70) along with 14 days of free subscription when you hit level 30.
If you don’t mind leveling up a bit slower then you can go with Ragnarok or Odin which have a somewhat bigger population
If I want to stock up on materia to meld my 5.3 gatherer set, what's the most efficient thing to farm atm? Obviously materia extract will just happen passively but should I be doing yellow scrips, diadem gathering, or something else?

I selected Moogle I don't mind leveling up a bit slower. Is that any good moogle ?
How do i put points on the map
I’m not sure for KBM but controller does L1+R1
How do I llevel in eureka?
@silver plinth I’d say yellow scrips would get you the most
Kill monsters equal or one above your level and complete the challenge log
Stock up on eureka potions from the vendor to help stay alive
- find a party and/or nm train
- weekly challenge log
Eureka is technically soloable
But your progress (when solo) is like, god awful (compare to partied)
dang i wish i knew about preferred worlds sooner
It’s where you make the stormblood relic

For PvP, are there any items or gear pieces I should be bringing in?
Nope, stats and level are standardized in PVP
Does FF14 go on sale often in Steam?
is there a discord server for people that want to clear outdated savage content?
What's good XP per time for levelling a healer alt 60-70?
is it possible for a trial player to join a wedding?
So I'm a brand new player, never played before. Is it worth waiting for off-peak to create a character in the preferred world, or just start on a different one? Worried that the bonus xp from preferred will hurt the new player experience
@thick leaf not particularly. Maybe like once every 2-3 months
@deft anvil dungeons after doing your daily roulettes
I don’t think so, beast
how do you get those eagle mounts?
Preferred bonus makes it so you pretty much only need to do the story and important side quests when playing. Without it you’ll have to do some extra stuff like some daily roulettes or dungeon runs
i see a lot of people using them
From the Heavensward extreme primals
Hello, just redownloaded after 2.5 years or so of not playing. Feel like I've never even seen any of this!
Alright, cheers. Thanks for the help 🙂
so bismarck EX?
Though the bonus is super valuable for gatherers and more so for crafters
for example
Yep
Not all classes can, but yeah you should be able to solo it
It drops in the coffer
The main thing you need for Bismarck EX is a lot of burst to quickly kill one of the snake adds since they tether when close
which emote is the one that goes like "x fails to understand y"
How exactly do i use glamour plates to apply two different visuals to the same shared gear?
/huh
Link glamour plates to gear sets
thanks
@odd bobcat open map (m) , then ctrl + right click
Is there a pub agreement for picking up adds @titania ex?
Like MT pick Puck, OT pick Pease (or the reverse?)
I'm not aware of one (aside from just plain pick the 2 up and kill in minimap east to west order)
guide says OT picks up Puck
Ok thx
do you get a special mount for having all of the heavensward EX mounts
Any use for the low level Diadem stuff once your up in crafting abit
A phoenix mount
oh shit, that's where the firebird is from?
The mats that is
Jonah: not really since the materials market is nonexistant at the moment (for lower level mats)
Yeah each expansion has a collect these mounts get this mount
Stormblood has a super cool doggo
Kirin ; not!phoenix ; ninetails

ninetails would make a fantastic land mount 
ah fuck I guess that's what I'll be going for tonight
HW only has 4 mounts for firebird right?
I believe its higher now
Probably like 10% or so at this point
is it also 10% or so for stormblood?
Rng is a b- though, sometimes you get several in a row, then you can go 10 runs w/o a single dropping
It should be the same rate, but no one knows what it is
in theory 10% chance per run. in practice your soul will die before it drops unless you're lucky
Its not rare to see people trading 99 totem (even now)
thinks about healing for suziku runs last night and curls up in a corner
The only primal I ever had to buy the pity mount for was Sophia, though this was with groups and rolling against others
Hey, what's in your opinion a fun healer class to play? I never played healer in a mmo before so I wanted to give it a try.
I've gotten really close to that with eggnog ex and looking like I will for sukazu (at 30 tomes without enough drop luck for a good roll)
I personally like White Mage and Scholar currently. I used to be in love with Astrologian but with the 5.0 card changes they can feel a bit clumsy to use on controller while trying to also optimize damage
each healer plays differently. white mage is most straight forward and annoying to max out personal dps.
astrogian requires inventing profanity at the card system (still) and if really dependent on its role to buff other people in the party.
scholar is an old raid fave although not as popular because it requires pre-planning when to use fairy skills (regens), when to use preemptive healing (excog), and when to use reactive healing. it's main thing is shielding to avoid taking damage although ast can do this also to a certain degree
unlock wise they are a mixed bag. ast starts at 30 (requires foundation available) which is the same as the other 2 but they have starting classes so if are learning healing from scratch that's a little extra time
(to level the class from lv 1)
