@cold crescent You don't need all three to match the mission exactly. If two of them match or exceed, you'll be fine.
warped nest
Then ask questions here if you got em and we are more than happy to help
cold crescent
I have 2 that match now and the dude says my squadron isn't ready for the mission
leaden ginkgo
I think BLM is easy early on, but the game descriptions and tips can be... lacking and confusing
open coral
Their levels might be insufficient then.
Not their tactical levels.
But their actual levels.
cold crescent
open coral
Yeah, your healer is only levle 39
warped nest
Game has tooltips and what not, the dev expect the player to derive a basic rotation from there
open coral
That's your problem.
oak ice
BLM is "harder" at lower levels than higher ones since the rotation doesn't flow very well
faint flare
They require all 3
oak ice
Nope
leaden ginkgo
No
warped nest
Heck I don't even think the game tells you that dot damage is every 3s
bright badger
I appreciate BLM a little more now that I understand it
cold crescent
Yeah, that's why I'm trying to figure out how to get to 120/60/100
warped nest
Yeah, Cookie, do refer to the image I pull up just now
Do you need me to do it again?
faint flare
Usually people over level flag missions
leaden ginkgo
I could only do that level 40 mission with everyone at 45
open coral
Your squadron members also all need to meet the minimum level requirements.
faint flare
So just really get higher levels
open coral
You cannot do a level 40 mission with one member at 39
cold crescent
I'm not sure that's true, Astra
But it's been a long time since I did squadron on my main
leaden ginkgo
I strongly recommend doing Command Missions. Might be a bit of a chore but it's worth it
faint flare
The guy doesn't say the squad cant handle it if.someone is low level
An error messagw pops up instead
When trying to send them
leaden ginkgo
They give a fairly amount of exp and you need to complete 5 unique missions to get the last rank you can get
faint flare
He's saying they'll fail cause flagged missions require all 3 stats met
Tbh only real thing you can do is level them up higher and attempt to get a chemistry that boosts someone's strength
leaden ginkgo
Affinity helps too
faint flare
Or other stat so you can sack another
leaden ginkgo
Not sure if any applies there
faint flare
I think affinity only really boosts chemistry bonuses/success rates?
open coral
Someone remind me real quick, how many points does a single type training remove from the other two?
I'm trying to do some calculations here.
cold crescent
Best calculation I can do is 5 trainings
leaden ginkgo
I think affinity boosts stats too...
open coral
Affinity can boost stats, yes.
cold crescent
Strength -> Str/Tac -> Tac - Mind -> Str Mnd

I literraly couldnt use the key on steam, what a load of crap. Had to make a new account and everything 😦
lyric warren
what does these icons mean in the shared fate menu https://i.imgur.com/6hjSE4q.png
cold crescent
Basically how many fates you've done in that zone
open coral
Those indicate how many FATEs you've completed in the zone.
Each of the ones on top represents 10 completed FATEs
The smaller ones below indicate a single FATE each
So you've completed 52 FATEs in that zone.
Of 60 require to reach Rank 3 Shared Fate

I'm trying to upgrade my account and I can't figure out if I need to use the Mog Station or reinstall the whole game just to put the activation key for my complete edition in, cause I've been getting the i2501 error about 5 or 6 times at the point after I try confirming the frickin' 'transfer' to the full game.

@neat surge did you use trial on steam? I just had that issue. I downloaded the trial yesterday on steam and today decided to just buy full game as its on sale on the square website for 35 so I tried to transfer and it doesn work if downloaded from steam. I had to create a new account with email and register it that way.
neat surge
No
I bought it from the square site
and idk how my account is blocked if I was able to successfully buy the complete edition I'm trying to upgrade to
because that error code thing says my account is blocked
obsidian patio
Are you using a VPN?
obsidian patio
i2501 (when registering keys) is also a general case error and can sometimes be triggered by the mogstation be overloaded or an unstable connection
neat surge
oh
obsidian patio
If you keep getting it after 24 hours then contact SE support through the mogstation

okay

Has anyone ever experienced this crash and happen to know how to fix it?
Headphones disconnecting don't seem to be the cause as unplugging or reconnecting them doesn't cause it

So I did the Chocobo quest with my grand company, got my dude, named him... Activated the whistle..

And summon from there
Companion is summoning the birb to help fight
Which requires a different quest

Hi i played this game a few months ago and i got all the collectors editions and i played on the japanese data center but now i am moving back to europe and i am wondering can i still claim all my collectors edition rewards if i create a new char on a the european data center?
proud willow
Yep
Any new character you create on that account will have a bunch of mails in the mailbox once you enter the game
obsidian patio
Any reason why you don’t want to transfer your character over instead of making a new one?
rancid cradle
oh i can do that?
obsidian patio
Yep, through the Home World transfer on the mogstation in Additional services
Costs $18 unless you do it from a congested world to a preferred one
obsidian patio
As for servers, I think Ragnarok and Odin are the bigger servers for their EU datacenters, but EU as a whole is very even in population
With Louisoix and Spriggan being a bit smaller since they’re the newest servers being added in 5.0
rancid cradle
Is shadowbringers not released?
raw solstice
shadowbringers was released back in july of last year
leaden ginkgo
Might be a good idea to create on a less active world I'd say. Can prevent some queues and they're usually preferred, so buffs
You'll be matched with people all over the dc anyways

Well the reason is written down there...

SE store is backlogged due to covid and free stuff
also, scalefast is ironically scaleslow
rancid cradle
oh i thought the codes where auto generated
so basically i just need to wait for my key to be generated
rancid cradle
Ah i see thanks a lot 🙂
leaden ginkgo
Idk exactly why covid is a reason unless it implies on heavier server load, which could be unrelated 🤔
faint flare
Well with morw people home, more people joining the game, especially with the sale
So can be part of the whole increase server load

Okay, I'm feeling like a broken record here cause I've had this upgrade issue for hours now, but really. Since i can't seem to register my code for the complete edition of FFXIV on mog station, would doing it in a launcher/launched game or whatever work instead?

how far behind is fine for the msq to trail my class? about to start my third class because the other two are at 31 while msq is still at 24. Is that too far ahead?
obsidian patio
If you're on a preferred world then the MSQ will almost always trail behind, which isn't always a bad thing.
Just remember that most content is gated by story progression and not level.
unborn salmon
Alright cool. Just wasn't sure if being too far ahead made xp go down at some point or what
Thank ya
cunning palm
for alt classes lvl 70-80 do you just grind dungeons like before?
obsidian patio
pretty much, there's also Trusts as an option if dungeon queues are long
cunning palm
doesnt it usually take much longer to clear a dungeon with NPC?
obsidian patio
yes, which is why you generally only do it if you have a long queue
or if you want the achievement/title for leveling all the Trusts NPCs to 80.
I think the breakpoint for how long a queue can be before trusts become better is somewhere around 15-20 minutes
cunning palm
what about hte old trials that no one queues anymore?
obsidian patio
in terms of experience you don't queue for them specifically.
but trial roulette helps makes sure aren't too dead.
cunning palm
i see, cus they are stuck in my journal as a quest to clear
obsidian patio
Oh, do you mean the Extreme primals for ARR?
You can easily solo all of them at level 70 or higher.
obsidian patio
At level 80, Ravana should be doable as any class if you can do his mechanics right, Bismarck requires a class with good burst to quickly kill one of the snake adds, and the rest of the HW extreme trials are pretty much only doable as Paladin currently due to their good mix of damage, self-healing, and enough mitigation to cheese some mechanics.
leaden ginkgo
Can you get king thordans weapon
cunning palm
what about as two people? are they all doable with two
obsidian patio
2 people makes them much easier, but Sephirot may still require more people due to how his mechanics work.
@leaden ginkgo If you mean his giant sword then no, but he does have weapons themed after him that drop from his extreme fight.
Along with a set of crafted glowy versions that are buyable off the marketboard.

it's doable with less, it's just that people can (and probably will) die

Paladin can solo Sephirot if they get good RNG on their buff color (need Orange for both times) along with high mitigation for the tethers

They're just like any other piece of gear.

ah okay
cunning palm
ccan someone quickly explain thordan ex holy shield bash + spear of fury?
getting wiped all the time and im not quite sure about the mechanis
got wiped when the healer marked green on top of their head
what am i supposed to do as a healer?
obsidian patio
The spear is a line aoe that splits damage between everyone who gets hit, as the healer with the marker you need to be the last person hit, while the first person who gets hit takes more damage than the others.
If anyone dies from the spear it's an automatic wipe as the knight will do a super-high damaging AoE.
obsidian patio
anywhere in the middle between the tank getting the first hit and you/the marked healer.
cunning palm
got it ill try thanks

Without spoilers roughly how long is post stormblood
I just got some nice big treasure as a hint for where I’m at
obsidian patio
Stormblood patch story is 40 quests total

Oh wow that’s not too bad huh?

is there anything specific i should do with gear i outgrow? Weapons tab mostly, but all of them are getting a bit full of obsolete things that I don't want to get rid of when I should be doing something with them
obsidian patio
If they're at 100% spiritbond you can extract materia out of them and sell that on the marketboard with your retainer for a bit of gil.
But besides that, for weapons specifically, you really only have the option of holding onto it for glamour if you like the looks of it or selling it to an NPC vendor.
There's also desynthesizing it, but that requires leveling up your crafters and doesn't give much value back for the most part.
unborn salmon
oh yeah i always forget about the extraction
but alright cool, good to know it's safe to sell
thanks

Does SE do emote sales?
obsidian patio
Sales are very random, there's not much predicting to them besides general guesses like Black Friday or December holidays.
But I'm fairly sure some Emotes have gone on sale before.
unreal badge
where can I go kill some monsters around level 30-35 to finish off leveling to 30?
I don't feel liek doing a whole POTD run for 10k exp
obsidian patio
overworld monsters give terrible experience, you're better off completing fates if you don't want to queue for anything.
as for ones close to your level, Eastern La Noscea and Coerthas Central Highlands should be near your level.

So do I need to do feast of famine to unlock double hook

i am just starting the game and trying to level up on the quest the kindness of strangers it tells me to go to a destination and interact but there is a lvl 50 mob camping it and i am level 8
leaden ginkgo
Choosing my server atm it will get me a exp boost for choosing lamia. But I was wondering what the legacy servers werr
proud willow
is it aggressive? if there's a blue star by its name rather than a red star, it's safe to walk by
ocean granite
which server should i play in ffxiv
obsidian patio
Legacy just means its a server that was around during 1.0, it means nothing nowadays
hoary storm
Can you still get the fistbump emote by recruiting a friend?
gritty turret
i went over to it and it attacked me instantly it has red and gold next to its name
obsidian patio
yes
leaden ginkgo
Apply vaporub and kick its ass
obsidian patio
@ocean granite assuming your role tag is correct in terms of you living in NA, then I suggest any preferred server in Aether, Primal. or Crystal.
You get a +100% experience boost when doing pretty much everything which helps keeps you ahead of the curve for the story in level.
You also get 14 free days of subscription when you hit level 30, assuming you have the base game registered.
gritty turret
ok i got it had to sneak around
ocean granite
i am from austrila
gritty turret
mobs name is girtab
obsidian patio
Then it's a bit tricky. Your main options are either the JP datacenter Elemental or the aforementioned NA datacenters.
Elemental is closer to you which means better ping, but you'll have to play with JP players. Most english-speaking Oceanic players are on Elemental with the main servers of choice being Tonberry and Kujata

What classes do I need for litany of peace
obsidian patio
It's a story quest, so any combat class will do.
leaden ginkgo
I’m trying to get the quest for ish restoration
obsidian patio
it's the midway point of the heavensward patch story
leaden ginkgo
I’m in Sb
obsidian patio
Then you should be able to unlock the Restoration, assuming you have a crafting or gathering class at 20.
obsidian patio
The quest should be by the Foundation Aetheryte
"Towards the Firmament"
It's a paper on a wall.
leaden ginkgo
Do I have to be equipped with that class
obsidian patio
I think so.
but looking at garland tools, it doesn't look like it since it's a level 60 quest.
snow meadow
i have a question i had to make a new account because my previous account wouldnt download my characters..
So i bought the collectors eddition on my new account but when i logg in on the new account it is saying 'This service account does not have a valid FINAL FANTASY XIV license for this platform or your subscription has expired. ' i got a 30 day free subscription and i entered the code in the mogstation site.. what am i doing wrong?
obsidian patio
Did you play the trial/base game on steam?
snow meadow
i played heavensward for a very long time on steam
obsidian patio
You can only use game license codes from steam, so if you bought the collector's edition elsewhere then it won't work for your account.
obsidian patio
It needs to be from steam if you play on steam.
snow meadow
okay then i will try it on the original launcher
obsidian patio
That won't work either, as your account is now tied to steam.
Steam accounts can't play on non-steam for PC
You'd have to make a new account entirely if you wish to use the collector's edition code.
obsidian patio
did you already register the base game for that account? collector's edition is only Shadowbringers.
obsidian patio
hmm, not sure what the issue would be then. Maybe try uninstalling and reinstalling the launcher?
obsidian patio
obsidian patio
Yeah I'm trying to look it up
most of the time that happens when you try to log on steam as non-steam and vice versa
snow meadow
and what should i do now then?
im downloading the original launcher and see if that works because the code i bought i didnt entered it in steam im not sure if that would make a difference?
obsidian patio
I'm currently searching. I play on PS4 so I never had to deal with PC-related launcher errors.
dusky nest
im downloading the original launcher and see if that works because the code i bought i didnt entered it in steam im not sure if that would make a difference?
wait, you mean you still launched it via steam until now?
obsidian patio
They made a new non-steam account
dusky nest
yes but that sentence sounds like they still tried to launch via steam
snow meadow
im downloading the original launcher and see if that works because the code i bought i didnt entered it in steam im not sure if that would make a difference?
wait, you mean you still launched it via steam until now?
@dusky nest yes
dusky nest
yeah then it wont work
dusky nest
should work then yes
snow meadow
both of the accounts or only the one i newly maked?
dusky nest
only the new non-steam account
snow meadow
okay then i have to wait till its doen with downloading and then try it out
dusky nest
steam licenses gotta play via steam, non-steam via non-steam
snow meadow
ooh okay then i know that 🙂 then i will wait and let you know if it worked
leaden ginkgo
I am only just finishing the first introductions to the game and I am so tired of the fkin dialogue reading shit might as well purchase the skip potion right?
I've never cared for story line n sgit anyways if I want to know about it I usually just read it on wiki
dusky nest
oh man, you are in for something if that already bothers you, even if you skip
because the game puts a huge focus on story and everything is locked behind story
leaden ginkgo
The skip potion skips the story right?
dusky nest
not entirely
obsidian patio
You still need to do the latest expansion's story.
leaden ginkgo
Better than what 2 expansions and the original story lol
little swift
there's a lot of tie in from previous expansions in the current story
leaden ginkgo
Wdym
little swift
so it may become super confusing to you should you skip it
but if thats what you want to do
go for it
leaden ginkgo
Like I previously stated idc for story usually if I do I can read wiki
little swift
we can't really tell you how to play a game
its just in this game in particular the story is one of the biggest draw-ins
you'd be paying to skip content
the story is pretty good too
despite its slow start
the playthrough and the wiki read aren't the same experience
but again, you do you
Just also consider if you do a story skip, it doesnt power level your character
You would either have to manually gear and level your character
Or buy a level skip as well @leaden ginkgo
zinc orbitBOT
obsidian patio
Job boost is also $25
and story skip scales depending on the content you want to skip, with ARR+HW+SB skip being $25
leaden ginkgo
How long does it take to separately lvl
little swift
Its not super long but can be tedious and repetitive
You took out one of the major sources of exp for your first class
By skipping the main story questlines
leaden ginkgo
Right.. I'll just slowly blow through the quest then
little swift
If its that annoying try some of the other things the game has
Gold saucer
Crafting
Hildibrand
Try another job/class

Hello. Any of you fine folk have any experience with this error message?
Happens every time I try to launch in directX11 and the game and launcher then completely crashes. So I can't play in DirectX11 mode. Runs fine in DirectX9 aside from bad framerate
obsidian patio
I had this problem. Rename the files that are named "dxgi" (.dll, .ini, .log) to "d3d11".
Try this?
harsh sparrow
Where would these files be located? 🙂
obsidian patio
I can't tell you exactly where, I play on PS4. but the search bar for your computer files should be able to find them
There's also this
Delete it (Reshade folder, dxgi.dll, dxgi.ini), reinstall it, select only ONE shader (e.g. Colourfulness) that isn't FXAA or SMAA.
If it works, then it's a shader breaking when it tries to compile (this issue happens to me with SMAA, my boyfriend's has it happen with FXAA). Reinstall it and select only things you think you'll be interested in, I was able to just deselect SMAA and install the rest but it differs.
Yeah I just did that, but there are a lot of them.
I don't use Reshade though
It has happened to me ever since installing for the first time
Without any addons or overlays
leaden ginkgo
Trying to get used to this games ui and map oof
vivid elm
Hi quick question, this means I own the content right? Bc I cant login in to the non-steam launcher which I bought this for as it says "This service account does not have a valid FINAL FANTASY XIV license for this platform or your subscription has expired." even tho I just bought gametime as well
obsidian patio
Collector's edition is only vanity stuff, you need to look at the boxes to the left of that.
...though you can't have the collector's stuff without the expansion, so yes?
But for the error, if you bought the game on steam you need to play through steam
vivid elm
I didnt buy it on steam
obsidian patio
Can you take a picture of this for your mogstation?
vivid elm
alpine shadow
You need to purchase the windows edition too ^
You dont need to purchase the collectors edition for the new versions either.
vivid elm
Ahh well I see then, thanks everyone

Is there anyone on ps4?
snow meadow
so the game is downloaded but now it is saying unable to create character config data
and this happend me before what do i need to do to not get that?
green grail
try launching as admin
jaunty crescent
any way to know what completions would get you which seal in your journals?
this is it currently
can I do a specific one to get that bottle for 2 lines?
forest laurel
what kind of content is shown for !wl, bc when I did it after uploading a log for a dungeon it didn't show up
green grail
savage and ultimates
twilit arch
its for the current end-game savage content
forest laurel
ah
so what about dungeons then
bc I'm not capable of doing e#s stuff yet lmao
twilit arch
there's nothing for dungeons because they're really not that...important?
forest laurel
aight
odd axle
Quick (and tricky) question for anyone doing Diadem/Ishgard stuff.
Had anyone still been able to pick up any of the achievement stuff despite the season being over?
grave thicket
Can someone help me fix this?
odd bobcat
does dark knight spells is magic or physical demage?
leaden ginkgo
Can you transfer items between characters’???!
grave thicket
I get this error every time I launch the game
grave thicket
I can play ONCE, at every start up/restart of my Computer, and it run normally. Then, if I close the game ( Regularly, i'd have to close it multiple times a day, when I go eat, start working, etc ), and try to open it back again, I get the error message "An Unexpected Error Has Occurred. Exiting Final Fantasy Xiv.(6d)" right when I click start game, still on Launcher, after putting in my login credentials, the client don't even show up, it just close the launcher automatically with the error message and no client starts.
leaden ginkgo
Have you tried reinstalling
grave thicket
Yes.
You have no idea of how many different things i've already tried, but i'm still up for suggestions for more possible fixes
even though i'm quite sure the issue is a problem on the launcher itself since there's more people reporting the same error
and finding only makeshift solutions, which sadly none worked for me
leaden ginkgo
I’ve never had this issue so I’m not sure
zinc orbitBOT
odd bobcat
does dark knight spells is magic or physical demage?
where do i buy weapons on linsa?
warped nest
where do i buy weapons on linsa?
Check out the NPC in the hallway west of the big Aetheryte in Limsa Lominsa
does dark knight spells is magic or physical demage?
Not sure. Are you asking out of curiosity?
obsidian wren
Some are magical, unleash for example has the spell tag and deals unaspected damage
odd bobcat
unleash is magic demage sop?
obsidian wren
I believe so yeah
odd bobcat
and how can i check mobs dungeon type of demage?
obsidian wren
That comes with experience for the most part
warped nest
If you are hitting multiple mobs, you use AOE skills
obsidian wren
Enemies that are magical typically have magicy animations
obsidian wren
I think it only really matters for the rdm buff
That boosts party physical damage
But even then you wouldn't adjust your rotation
odd bobcat
is because i use darknight
and he has dark mind
so is good to know which mobs does magic demage
warped nest
Then the answer is "any enemy that looks like they are hurling magical orbs"
Or "spewing elemental breath attack"
twilit arch
pretty sure it can
forest laurel
yeah it can
warped nest
Cuz tank busters and stuff
Imma gonna be a bit forward here and just say thay you are overthinking it for now
Unless you pull the whole room
ocean tusk
Is anyone on ps4 by chance not looking for group look for someone to help me with a controller based hotbar question.
warped nest
You shouldn't be too worried about checking damage type done by mobs in a dungeon
Just drop your questions here
fathom flint
How can I unlock different dungeons
warped nest
Do 
fathom flint
That's it?
warped nest
Most of the dungeons come from progressing your story
fathom flint
Thx
warped nest
A few handful are from 
odd bobcat
@forest laurel how do i check that?
warped nest
From 15 to 80, every 3 levels or so, you will get a new dungeon usually from . Occasionally a few will come from
At lvl 50/60/70/80, you will have more / dungeons because they are/were endgame dungeons
forest laurel
no wait I might have mistaken it for something else
FFLogs lets you check enemies at least
odd bobcat
ff logs?
forest laurel
a website that lets you upload logs from ACT
warped nest
It is a site people upload their ACT data to for analysis and comparisons with other users
forest laurel
but yeah I think when you click on "All" on the dungeon/trial/whatever, you can see the enemies' logs
warped nest
I still think it is overkilling to learn when to use Dark Mind
As you play more and more
You can more or less tell what kind of mobs do what type of damages
odd bobcat
im just curious
warped nest
That's fine
Usually enemies that look like normal soldiers or standard creatures (big bird or giant crab) do physical with their auto attacks
Elemental Spirits usually does magical with their auto attacks
Btw, Parry is for physical only
I believe one of the tank role action increases parry rate
Which is kinda is the physical counterpart of your Dark Mind
twilit arch
no, parry has effectively been removed from the game
twilit arch
Even tho gnb does have a defensive skill with parry
twilit arch
it still exists as a mechanic but its not something you can realistically affect anymore
odd bobcat
ok but where is the option to read enemy demage on act
twilit arch
@green grail you know where damage type is shown in ACT?
warped nest
What was the name of the role action that increases your parry rate?
twilit arch
it was anticipation
odd bobcat
somebody knows?
warped nest
it was anticipation
@twilit arch ahhh tq
raw solstice
You have to select the person/mob, select outgoing damage (or something like that), then I think you have to select whatever ability you want to check. It's a little weird/annoying and fflogs is easier since it just color codes it and it's much more visible/easy to see
Usually you can get by with "that's probably a magical/physical attack, huh" and be right with it
raw solstice
Yeah, damage taken, select a person, and it'll show a list of things they were hit by, with color coding to show magical/physical/other
Few other ways to go about it but that's fine enough
raw solstice
What does your plugin listing tab look like?
Do you have the specific version of overlayplugin for cactbot? I don't really know much about cactbot, mainly just base ACT/adding an overlay
zinc orbitBOT
whole wasp
you need to click new and make a new tab
and link it to cactboyt
for example
@odd bobcat
odd bobcat
@raw solstice i dont know what you mean
@whole wasp yeah i did that
like I said under new there is no cactbot
whole wasp
its not a cactbot tab
its a new miniparseoverlay
then in the url, link it to cactbot
odd bobcat
link to what part of cactbot?
got it
@whole wasp link the entire file?
or just one file
whole wasp
should be one file
odd bobcat
what is the name of the file?
whole wasp
lemme check
whole wasp
you got it? nice
odd bobcat
what show overlay and the 2 above means?
whole wasp
show overlay turns the overlay on or off
odd bobcat
why is off for you?
odd bobcat
enable clicktru and lock what it does?
im using a 2018 video soo...
maybe somethings has changed
whole wasp
if you check enable clicktru
you wont be able to select the box or resize it or anything
lock overlay disables you from moving the box
ok, first things first. you need to add cactbot in the plugin listing
lyric warren
can u bind target markings directly to a hotkey
so i can free up space on hotbars?
raw solstice
Is that the correct overlayplugin, too? That's a part of why I was asking earlier too
Since doesn't it have to be a specific version of it, not the standard one
whole wasp
yes but the old one was discontinued
if he got it recently, it should be the correct one
select browse. navigate to your cactbotoverlay.dll
select it. then click add/enable plugin
whole wasp
i see. now you gotta get in game to test then
whole wasp
go hit a target dummy
raw solstice
@lyric warren best way I can think of is put it on an new hotbar, add a keybinding for that slot on that hotbar, then you can hide the new hotbar again if you'd like
whole wasp
okay. you are trying to get cactbot to work? or just the dps meter?
lyric warren
is cactbot like deadly boss mods in wow*?
didnt knew there was raiding tools like that in ffxiv
whole wasp
close but it only tells you what attack is coming next. sort of like a timeline
i use cactbot for fishing
whole wasp
since it automatically counts how long since you cast the line
raw solstice
@lyric warren that's a lot of hotbars you need. You know you can add more than the initial 2 that you have on your UI, and that you can toggle sharing hotbars on/off so you can have some that change based on job or some that stay the same
I can't imagine actually using up every hotbar on any given job haha
whole wasp
different fish hooks different time so you know what fish you getting
raw solstice
Would run out of things to put in the slots
