If you're raiding, you can use food to reach the GCD you want
From The Balance Discord.
Is DHR not even considered on tanks?
Ahh
Well very low on priority for war
For the other tanks it's below crit/SkS
Like Tier 6s
or can I just jam all of them in every slot
Goes into all guaranteed slots
It can only fit in visible slots and the first overmeld.
And the first overmeld
overmeld?
Overmelding is forcing extra materia into gear
Crafted gear can be melded past the visible melding slots with a chance of failure.
Only doable on crafred gear
Crafted gear can be stuffed with extra materia than what's shown
Max is 5
huh
Need a crafter of the level you're melding into or higher
Gotcha
Normal melders can't do it
So just build crit and then det
so I have a neo ishgardian set, which is a crafted set
You can overmeld that
That is crafted
Though success rate plummets hard after the first overmeld, with the 5th and final meld usually sitting at 7-8%
all pieces can have up to 5 materia?
Overmelding is pricy and RNG
Yea
Yes
I thought you can just use vendor to meld?
ah I see
Or can you not do that
Not for overmeld
Only for the visible slots
You need to meld it yourself or request another player for overmelds.
so Materia 8 can fit in any visible slot?
Gotcha
Yes.
If you wanted all 8s in all slots, the AF4 gear from the ex trial has 5 open visible slots
kk
And the first invisible slot
Also if a piece of gear says Advance Melding Forbidden, it can not be overmelded period.
You're not required to overmeld, its nice extra stats but not needed
Mostly tome gear and high end raid drops
Hi guyssss
Would you say the expansions are worth it? In terms of story and gameplay
The jump in quality from ARR to HW alone is incredible and then there's still SB and ShB to look forward to after those.
Oh, you think? 😁 ok I’ll buy them then
Oh and I think I asked this before but I don’t remember. Some of the cards I buy say ARR on them. I presume that it still subscribes my account throughout all the expansion
expacs are better than ARR
even Stormblood
Yes, subscription time applies to the entire game, even the expansions
Thank youuuu

A lot of people say this game is one of the better final fantasy’s 😬 I certainly trust I won’t be disappointed?
The base game's leveling story is a bit rocky at the start since it assume that it's most people's first MMO.
It's probably the best new final fantasy
imo
Not many other FFs these days work with jobs anyway
If I want jobs, I have to go to bravely series
Oh 😁 I am glad! So once you finish all of the expansions is there plenty to keep my occupied post game?
What's doing better endgame content right now for Samurai, Kenki or no Kenki?
Post shb
i mean there's technically jobs in FF13 - lightning returns
wdym kenki or no kenki
^
Kenki has always been important in the SAM moveset
if you aren't using kenki what the absolute fuck are you doing
Someone told me there are Sam's who use the Kenki gauge and others who just fill it and keep it filled for the buff
what buff
There is no buff from keeping the bar filled.
kaiten is a DPS loss on anything but midare
There's no buff to keeping the Kenki meter filled, yeah. Not using it is a huge loss in potential damage.
Higan too
if that's the buff you're asking about(?)
I'm brand new to the game lol, so I really have no idea, just repeating what I was told, trying to get some clarity xD
if it's not mentioned in the traits or the actions and help menu over job gauges it's probably not right
do note that kenki is a bit hard to get in heavensward content
but once you get to stormblood and beyond you get kenki out the wazoo
For HW stuff, doing the normal sen combos gives enough to Kaiten midare
Yeah, I'm leveling 76 atm
Lemme grab Sam rotation
sorry for sounding mean
Fill in the list what you can
Ignore what you don't have yet
SAM is all about going fast and how many times you can midare
While keeping up buffs and your DoT
Actually, that looks like exactly what I've been doing lol, but I've been going hakaze, yukikaze into the dot first
Is there a reason to go with shifu/kaza while building?
The first
It's slightly higher DPS
So I should always be using Yukikaze last before Midare?
In the opener?
And in regular rotation
Aye
15 kenki bonus
Can kaiten the midare
Since you do shinten before the yukikaze
In the opener, at least
After the opener, you gotta be smart on when to do kenki-spending attacks
Since they're oGCD
You generally want to prioritize your Kasha and Gekko combo
Because you want to keep up your Jinpu and Shifu buff
Then you can do Yukikaze
If you flop your rotation, at least keep the buffs up
floor tank meme comes from FF11 and the early days of 14, when dragoon's had lower magic resistance than other jobs and long animation locks so they died easily
Regarding whether to use it on opener, you are better off referring to the Balance
!faq balance
Im doomed
these days its not as accurate, but you still have some animation lock so it can be easy to get yourself killed if you're not careful
Ahhh i remember before they changed their mag resist
They have the math on different openers and you can figure out what works for you
Another thing I didn't see on the rotation list was tsubame-gaeshi
People kill themselves as RDM more often
Is it possible for my Squadron to succeed on the lv50 missions if they don't meet all 3 stats? They're lv60 and I can get 2/3 stats cleared no problem but my few attempts at the lv50 missions have all failed.
Another thing I didn't see on the rotation list was tsubame-gaeshi
@pastel crow do you see Kaeshi Midare?
for non priority mission, yeah they can pass the 50 missions with only 2/3
The sam rotation is built around tsubame on CD
for priority missions they have to meet all 3
We had a drg main in arr static
!action Kaeshi: Midare Setsugekka
Fun times
I only have Midare Setsugekka
!action Tsubame-gaeshi
Repeats the previously executed iaijutsu with increased potency.
Can only be executed immediately following Iaijutsu.
Triggers the cooldown of weaponskills upon execution. Cannot be executed during the cooldown of weaponskills.
It transform automatically after you use an iaijutsu
^
you have tsubeme gaeshi at 76 which allows you to repeat your last iaijutsu for increased potency once per minute
Cheers @twilit arch I'll continue trying to get sufficient perks to push them over the requirements.
The same potency as if you Kaiten'd it
actually more
Same for the dot
So how do I geet Kaeshi? I'm missing something lol
Are you lvl 76
Are you level 76 yet?
Yeah
I don't play SAM what is Kaiten
Put it on hotbar
your actions and traits menu
And do midare
!action Kaiten
Deals fire damage with a potency of 500 to target and all enemies nearby it.
Mudra Combination: Chi→Ten or Jin→Ten
Triggers the cooldown of weaponskills, mudra, and Ninjutsu upon execution.
※This action cannot be assigned to a hotbar.
fucking
It is Hissatsu Kaiten
!action Hissatsu: Kaiten
Oh, so Kaiten turns it into Kaeshi?
No
No
Doh -_-
Open your Action and Trait window
It's a separate skill
It's a different action
Right, I see it at level 76 but it's not letting me drag it to my action bars
you're too far down
Not the 3 variation
Repeats the previously executed iaijutsu with increased potency.
Can only be executed immediately following Iaijutsu.
Triggers the cooldown of weaponskills upon execution. Cannot be executed during the cooldown of weaponskills.
Tsubame gaeshi is the one you put on your hotbar
Oh, yeeah, I have that on my bars
It's like how you put iaijutsu on your hotbar
Tsubame gaeshi turns into kaeshi: midare
What level do you get the Hissatsu Kaiten skill at
OHHHH okay
Then it will automatically transform, after you use any iaijitsu
52
Kaiten is at 52, same level you unlock the Kenki Gauge
Ok
Go find a striking dummy and practice
Also at 52 Gekko and Kasha gain positional bonuses. Gekko gets a rear positional, and Kasha gets a Flank Positional.
What level does SAM start at I forget
50
Both giving Kenki from hitting their positional
50
At lvl 62, you get this new trait
I haven't played in months
!trait Kenki Mastery II
This massively increase your kenki generation
5 added to every weapon skill
This is my first month back
Welcome back
And I accidentally cancelled my sub
So a normal Yukikaze combo now gives 20 kenki
Oops
A huge difference from the 10 kenki before
So, can tsubame be buffed with kaiten as well?
No
Nopr
Yep
Okay, so I kaiten, midare, tsubame basically
Yes
That would be awesome
Tsubeme is an action, not a weaponskill
Ability
Oh okay,I see it now
Kaiten, Tenka, Gaeshi Tenka
What's the exact difference between Action Weaponskill, and Skill in this game, that sounds confusing
Action is all of them
Weaponskill/spell is gcd
Weaponskill: most abilities on the GCD without a cooldown
Ability is oGCD
your main rotation consists of these
Majority of the time
I also don't see stuff like bloodbath, seian, meditate, and hagakure on the list, i assume those are just situation dependent?
Ok
most abilities are not on the GCD, which you use to weave
Ability can be used in between Weaponskill/Spells
some abilities are on the GCD, but they have a cooldown
seigan*
!action drill
as an example
Seigen you use via proccing third eye
Seigan is dependent on Third Eye
I also don't see stuff like bloodbath, seian, meditate, and hagakure on the list, i assume those are just situation dependent?
@pastel crow Hagakure should be in
Always use it when yoy can
Bloodbath is used when you need the healing
Hagakure is in there
drill's a weaponskill
Hagakure is situational but generally used after your one filler combo
Hagakure is for burning sen in downtime
Hagakure is part of the filler GCDs
Oh, nevermind, it is Chronos lol
Sorry for the noob questions, like I said I haven't played in months maybe a year
And Meditate is used for downtime when you can't hit the boss
Np
Bloodbath for personal healing
oh whoops
Hagakure is used to adjust your Sen generation
Hagakure is for your filler or if you need need to reset your sen for reopeners
You don't want to expire your Higanbana Dot with 2-3 sens
It's tradeable, if you're willing to buy it off the marketboard
So if my dot is about to expire and I only have 2 sens, it's better to hagacure and then reapply the dot?
If i'm not capping kenki
You shouldn't be in that situation
You should pocket 1 sen right before Higanbana is almost up
The SAM flowchart is 100% consistent assuming you use the appropriate "Filler Rotation" for your GCD
If you follow the loop and theres no downtime you should have the right sen
So what's best class for Eureka rn
So when does teh filler phase happen?
You can do the filler at any point
It doesnt matter as long as you do it once per 60s
I feel that we are going into too much theoretical here
Is SAM good for Eureka
Just practice and you will get the hang of it
If so I'm boosting
I just feel like I'd never want to use Hagakure but would rather build to a Midare lol, there's just a lot I guess
Any class can do solo Eureka fine for killing random mobs.
Ok
The reason why you use hagakure for your filler is so that your tsubame does not drift
So no SAM basically
That's the only reason
SAM is still good
Your Higanbana is the most damaging weaponskill you have
You can always use the Eureka Potions bought inside to have a potent heal on yourself.
!action Eurekan Potion
oops
!item Eurekan Potion
Oops
Just kill your enemy before they can kill you
RDM is great in eureka
Had a location set and everything
Just so you don't need to run around while constantly trying to keep up your buff
So what job would you recommend for a noobie?
Being absolutely honest? Paladin
I was supposed to meet her in Foundation at Noon Server time or whatever the game calls it
Or Red Mage
I'm dead
Actually any tank is fine
Dead like a BLU using a Self-Destruct Macro
Cuz you got the Eureka potion
I'll have to look into them, thank you!
Idk why I even have that macro on my hotbar lol
hm my discord follows the #translations-and-liveletters but it seems we never get any updates or translations. is it a bug or do i need permission?
tl;dr translations take place exclusively in the discord
#translations-and-liveletters only pushes out a notice when the LL is happening
they only push the annoucement that a live letter is occuring soon
Macros are just like actions, so you just unbind them or replace it with another action
System > Macro > right-click the macro
Delete from hotbar is Just drag it off and release it on empty space on the UI
can we get the emote where we get on our knees and bow in shame

azys lla i think
Azyz lla has the replicas. Maybe try the calamnity salvager too?
how do i test my ping in game
New 80 here
Got myself a full neo-ishgard set
Is everything below i480 now weaker?
As in, wait till I get into eden savage for i490?
there's no way to test it in-game, you'll need to do an external source like command prompt @finite ferry
List of IP Addresses for each Datacenter
Aether: 204.2.229.9
Primal: 204.2.229.10
Crystal: 204.2.229.11
Chaos: 195.82.50.9
Light: 195.82.50.10
Mana: 124.150.157.156
Gaia: 124.150.157.157
Elemental: 124.150.157.158
how do I ping the IP?
Windows: Open Command Prompt and type ping *insert IP Address here*
Mac: Open Terminal and type ping *insert IP Address here*
o ima save primal ip address and test later
You can always press the command again in #kupo-bot-spam.
will a fishing retainer be useful if i've never actually done fishing. assume that i lvled up my fishing job through buying fishes on the MB and have never touched a fishing rod
fish is pretty cheap and i just buy them for easy grand company seals
generally don't recommend a fishing retainer
mining retainer seems more useful, for some reason mining stuff's more expensive than botany stuff
what does the priority seal allowance item apply to
the fish they can get aren't usually that useful. there are a few minions that are specific to fish retainer but it'd probably be easier to just buy them from the marketboard
miners can farm crystal shards which is a bother to travel and farm i heard
Is songbird skirt tradeable
I can’t get it till next little ladies
i see, thanks for the input
no, and the only way to get it now is to buy from the mogstation @midnight slate
Songbird clothing is mogstation only
when is the summer event
Few months
moonfire faire is generally in august
Let’s see the pricing
Gold Saucer event is probably first
i wanna start on the free trial but im having problems downloading the setup
@fringe inlet pretty much. You can start the Shadowbringers relic for a free i485 weapon with 5 slots
If you haven't already, complete the Stormblood 24-man series, as that's required for the shadowbringers relic.
Make sure you've done the "Return to Ivalice" questline
Rabanastre
Close enuf
kk
Anything else worth working on?
Or is that just endgame now
Since poetics seems to end up being better than relic
Are they going to remove the weekly cap on shbr tomes?
Takes a few weeks to get though
1000 allegory tomes and 4 of the drops from e8
Eventually
But allegory won't see uncap until 5.4
Which will have better crafted by then
Ultimate stuff probably
Is that something I should worry about
That only matters for Ultimate Raids.
So don't worry
And thats post eden?
Harder than, but it's after e4
I want to do an ultimate, but my lack of skill won't cut it
A "standard" progression is about 100 hours
Not sure, I've never done one. But they are the hardest challenge in the game
One single fight
Progression as in learning how the fight works
What do they drop
You make "progress" as you get further in the fight
Cool weapons
Tokens to trade for weapons
Usually BiS at the time they come out
They drop very flashy weapons to show off with and a title.
Im guessing this is where I have to start tryharding and using pots/food?
and work on fflogs
You should be doing that normally in savage if you want to try ultimate later
Ultimates are the end-all hardest fights in the game.
But if you want to start with savage content, try your best with pugs (pick up groups) and join a static (occasional meetup group for content) at around the same place in the tier you are
tier?
"Floors" of the raid series
i.e Eden 1 savage, 2 savage, etc
why does this take so long?
O4S and O8S had UCOB and UWU respectively last expac
You forgot to unplug the potato
XIV stuff just takes forever from my experience
27mb tho
but its just 26.9 mb
When you become a summoner do the carbuncles go away forever D:
Not forever
You can get egi glam
Turn egi into Ruby, tobaz and emerald carbuncles
Quest at 50
Oh ok good 😁 thank you
tried rebooting my pc, i could download a 200mb video in few seconds
but not the setup
Whats a good way to lvl my crafters 70-80 without touching the Ishguard stuff?
can i recruit a friend if i dont have subscription?
Reformed, do leves/crystarium quests that involve your crafters
Collectables are fine if you can manage them to
Ah, there are 70-80 leves are there?good
I cant stand the collectable mechanic
so I avoid it entirely
Need it for some end game stuf
I just want the crafters at 80 to finish the bars and make the character sheet look pretty
but isn't it just making high quality items?
I’m new to the game are there any videos I should watch as like a beginners guide
then i can ignore them till they need to be 90
what's so bad about collectables 🤔
I have 0 intention of doing any end game crafting or gathering, just want the character sheet
to be finished 😛
Its massively complex at overwhealming for me, so I dont even want to look at it. When something has too many various interlocked systems it overwhelames me and I move on
k
But if there are levequests I'll just buy the items form the AH
and spam them
so that solves that
thanks
Yea
Gil has no real use.How would I make a profit buying things for levequests? lol
Oh, I dont intend to actually crafgt anything.
Those don't need crafting though
So id just buy the levequetst items, get the crafter to 80, then forget it exists till the bar needs to go to 90 lol
You can buy stuff on Market Board
You get housing items from doing levequests?
Ah,right. Well, it doesnt really. Just buying cosmetic stuff for my house, which is fine.
But I've never had any shortage of gill.
To each their own I suppose
Decorating my house is why i play the game dont get me wrong
(and haveing everything at 80 and the MSQ)
but I dont consider that a real use haha
only I ever see my house
tbh I only use my fc house
Ah Im not in a FC
Put namazus everywhere for April 1st
been playing solo for the last 17 months
Do you have your own or something?
I do
I just do the MSQ roulette every day for the last year for the lvling part for battle jobs
all at 70+ 6 more to get to 80
Its easy for me, I just study during cutscenes
Thats true
Well, if anyone ever had some sort of guide to how exactly what buttons to use for the collectable stuff I could give it a go.
But the game doesnt tellme anything thats not confusing
Are you caught up in job quests?
I dont know what any of the crafting butons do, ive never actually crafted anything
For crafters/
I havent done a single one lol
for battle clases...half are done
When I get time I try and do a few here and there.
Are there any good guides for how crafting works now?
Thres so many buttons its very confusing
Could Google it. Not sure if there is a kupo bot thing on crafting
Okay.
nothing too up to date from what I know.
Thanks for chatting, it has been helpful.
Thats my issue I found He-Man
All the guides were very out of date
Remember, it's important to have fun above all else
So I got overwehlamed and confused and disprited. Sorry sometimes that happens to me
Stop looking at whats confused and start looking at where to begin
all crafting classes are the exact same now
you generally try to build inner quiet stacks
then blow them up with byregots
then finish your craft
!action Inner Quiet
with synthesis actions
Whats an inner quit stack? An ability?
Ok
!action Byregot's Blessing
Kupo bot is outdated
CRP
Hey everyone I want to get back into playing xiv after finishing the msq for shadowbringers and maxing out my first job dragoon. I want to come back but want to pick up gunbreaker. Will it be possible to level up fast enough to do the post msq stuff to unlock more stuff or should I still stick to my dragoon ?
Nothing's rushing you
you can do that just fine pepper if tahts what you want
We got a break between now and 5.3
pepper, my undertanding is things are delayed now due to CV-19.So theres literally no rush, even if you want to do end game raiding things.
So I'd chill and lvl what you find fun
Just do your expert everyday, get your special currency
And save it up
Rest is whatever floats ypour boat
leveling tank should be faster as a dps anyway, also u get the armory bonus exp for it also since your drg is a higher lvl allrdy
Ok thanks guys. I think the reason I got burnt out was cause I was playing dragoon since arr 😂
Tank can also spam dungeons over and over.
If you enjoy dungeon tanking
(which i do)
Tanking is fine
take your time pepper you this game doesn't penalize oyu for it
DPS is much more fun
It's only fun when you make the healer panic
It's also fun to heal to make the tank panic
Alright can't wait to get back in FFXIV 😊
I do that cause I cant avoid the brooms in academy and always get like, 5 stacks.
I call it hard mode.
Stand in the corner with the less number of brooms on that side and slowly follow one , is what I do
Hell for melee, but it works
I know that the GC Squadron can do duties with you up to 60, and Trust works after 70, but is there a group-type for 61-70?
Sounds good

Daily roulettes, dungeons is what I did
60-70 mostly
I qued as dps for dungeons and did crafting or other side content while I waited
or found someone lvling tank/healer in discord
Whats troubling you friend?
Block rate or block strength for paladin?
and i got a quest that asks me to go somewhere but there's a closed gate that i can't seem to get past
I don't mind doing roulettes and duties, but I was learning tanking and had hoped there was a way to practice in a group setting without punishing group members 🙂 That said, it's not that bad overall so I could probably stick with roulettes and duties
Open your quest log, click on the quest, then on 'map
and irt will show you where to go.
I believe 🙂
i did that, i'm standing at the place that appears to be the connecting area
Now if you are in gridania?
but there's a gate that won't open
@olive lintel doesn’t really matter iirc since every shield after 50 has equal strength/rate
There arw two ways into a zone.
@serene crescent There is probably a different way to go, if the gate is locked for you but you could accept the quest then it likely is not the correct way to go.........but yeah what @night canyon said 🙂
One is a high lvl half, the other is low lvl half
Youre using the wrong gate
So have a look for the other entrance gate
i'm in uhh the port city i didn't memorize the name yet
Ah the port city has the same.
There is a zone split in half between high and low lvl.
limza something, and i have to get to lower la noscea or something like that
You just need to find the other entrance to the zone.
It can be confusing, I was stuck on something similiar as well
i'll get the names eventually, literally have only been playing for 30 minutes and half of those have been staring at this gate trying to get past it
So what i recommend is open the map, look for another gate that leads to that zone
so i need to find another entrance?
ok, will try that, the maps have been confusing me a bit
Most likely. The other possibility is you need to speak to the gate guard, but thats less likely
Then id say thats an entrance that opens later in the story
And is closed so you dont walk out into lvl 40 mobs
that makes sense don't want my first experience against any kind of monster to be getting oneshot
There are a couple monsters in the starting area that outlevel you by a pretty large margin, but luckily they're passive. Won't attack you unless you attack first.
Not worth attacking them at all, frankly
Better time spent in FATEs and especially MSQ
what does the priority seal allowance item apply to
I think that only applies to roulette bonuses, FATEs, and Grand Company Leves? Can't remember if it works on Crafter/Gatherer turn-ins or Expert Delivery
What crafting gear is there from 71-80? from 61-70 I could use yellow scripts
that doesnt seem to be the case anymore?
Does the free login period start immediate when I log in the launcher to update the game?
You can use the level 70 Handking set for pretty much all of 70-80, with maybe replacing the tools after 75
Yes.
FML
Hrm its just reallytedious pressing like so many buttons with the handking stuff
guess i have to start now
are the anima weapons the first weapons for the heavensward jobs?
yeah i meant relic weapons
Expansion jobs don't retroactively get previous expansion relics.
hella, thank you
What level does dark knight start at
30
rip
Road to 70 server?
And the quest can be found in Ishgard, correct?
Yeh
Thank you thank you

Thx so much 😁 and does this mark the beginning of the Heavensward expansion?
yep, entering ishgard is the start of heavensward
Hope I’m in for sum good 😁
Grats!
HW is amazing
first tearjerk I had in a while
Been hearing that shbr is better but havent really felt it yet
Does it shoot up in quality near the end?
yep
Are leves worth it for any reason? I haven't done any at all, despite being in HW now.
Aah
They low key acknowledge this by not even adding new combat leves past HW
Gotcha. I haven't talked to the levemetes in HW but I saw they were still around so it made me wonder lol
Thanks!
hi, is it possible to change the field/battle music?
id love to have terra theme as field music and different FF-battle themes as battle music
Nope.
😦
ty anyway

for terras theme

You should get Scaevan gear from Rhalgr's Reach
ok thank you
Hey guys
how do I report a player.. ?
First time for me to see a bot.
And a 'group' :/ that teleports instantly to different enemies it needed to kill.
System > Support Desk
Which bonuses are most important for a samurai build?
Just finished end credits for ARR but have a dungeon that lvl 50 but item lvl 45 how do I get better gear? thru crafting or can I buy gear with any of the currencies I have
do your jobquests
complete your level 50 job quest
that gives a set of gear and your level 50 action
Does anyone recognize the chest item on the maid here? https://twitter.com/HalcyonEmber/status/1084455425964236800
I thought it was the Loyal Housemaid's Uniform but its something else entirely being used as a maids dress
Can one of ye plz answer my question? I have never really known which bonuses are most helpfu
helpful*
@jagged crow If you're not level 80 just wear whatever is the highest item level.
Once you are level 80 you can meld your gear according to this:
SKS [to tier*] >> DH = CRT > DET
SKS = Skill Speed, DH = Direct Hit, CRT = Critical Hit Rate, DET = Determination
mainly asking because I just beat the main campaign and I have the options of 3 earrings and idk which will be most helpful to a sam build
You'll also start seeing class-locked gear soon, in which case you'll want Striking and Slaying stuff.
Don't worry about exact secondary stats before 80.
@little needle Looks like it may be a modded version of the housemaid dress. That's the only top that looks similar to it from my peering through garland tools.
Yeah, likely a mod, considering that the hyur has elezen ears.
oh, didn't notice that either
Is there any good way to get allied seals? I've only seen maybe 5-6 S ranks in the last year.
blue mage
Does that involve Azulmagia or anything like it?
Allied seals from BLU, yeah. Yep. You get seals from new clears in Carnivale or filling the weekly challenges
I straight up gave up on BLU when I hit that
¯_(ツ)_/¯
Failed about 15 times and cut my losses there
it's the only easy way to get a lot of allied seals nowdays
since nobody's keeping track of level 50 hunt mobs nowdays
Hmm quite different from the house maid dress https://i.imgur.com/BTCFGq7.jpg
yeah they modded on black sleeves on top of the white ones
but i dont doubt its modded tho
they even clip in the picture
I guess the weekly hunt board is the only realistic option then?
There's also the daily hunts, the non-fate monsters can be done super quick
and if you have a level 70+ job you can roam the ARR zones looking for A ranks to solo
since they spawn every... 2-4 hours?
I have tried that but never really came across anything
I'll just stick to the weeklies since BLU is a massive troll
I can't find a Scaevan weapon at Rhalgr's reach, what weapon should I get ?
I should probably know this by now but anyone know what this visual effect is caused by or indicating? WAR 51. Goes away when I log out or leave an instanced area. Comes back at some point when fighting.
it means you have beast gauge
Hmm. That would make sense but it seems to stay there even if I deplete it.
Oh, no... went away that time.
What did I do differently?
Thanks though
I think it start to glow when you are above 50 gauge
It starts for me if I have any. Which can be annoying as I don't have a way to get rid of it at low values lol
Just running around all glowy like
how far am I from getting the retainer and mount? omw to Waking Sands for the first time now
been quite a few years since I did this 😄 since heavensward
should literally be the next quest or two for the retainer
Question: I want to play with some friends on one world. But they are on one that is not Preferred. Is it worth it for me to start on another then transfer to their world later?
thanks!
as for mounts, that's after joining a grand company at level 20 in the story.
cool, already 23, so time to continue the story quests
If you mean starting on a preferred world, be aware that you can't transfer off of a preferred world until 90 days pass from character creation.
Did they nerf Azulmagia or something? I just did it on a whim and beat it
Not to my knowledge. 
though if they did it probably happened when BLU's level cap went to 60.
you just got good
But I haven't even played BLU since lol
the blue mage content isn't hard it's just annoying
90 days ouch. Exactly how much of a handicap is -100% xp gain? Apparently they still get it even tho it's not listed as preferred for me..
Only difference is the DOOM soundtrack playing
not that drastic, you just need to do your daily roulettes or a few extra dungeon runs every now and then.
thanks

waiting for that random time in the early morning where dps is the advanturers in need 🙌
Don't bother, the bonus is piddly
what do I need to unlock the gemstone trader in eulmore?
Max rank in all zones, I think
Yup
So I'm having issues 😔 for some reason when I use an Xbox controller sometimes my character will keep moving even after I stopped pressing the controller or won't move when I do it is the same for manipulating the menus and whatnot any advice?
Is leveling roulette still worth doing even when im done with daily first try?
Im trying to grind levels
no.
Roulettes should only be done once a day
After you do leveling roulette queue up for the highest level dungeons you can do that aren't level 50/60/70.
Does retainer gear matter much?
yea to reach ilvl requirmeents
Yes, after level 10 or so gear is required to do the hunting and 18-hour ventures
it also improves the loot gained from quick ventures.
Combat retainers only care about item level, and gathering retainers only care about gathering
Hmm. Good to know. Yet another thing to spend money on. Oh well
When I was leveling I'd just throw my retainer my old gear
exploring ventures for gathering retainers still require ilvl
I just dumped all my old gear before remembering retainers could do more than store stuff. =/
Eh, I'll figure out how to make gil some day. Back to MSQ grinding...
How do people change chat channel with ps4 controller?
I just use a USB keyboard for typing and use the chat commands to switch channels.
but for a non-keyboard option, I think pressing the touch pad once and then pressing left puts your cursor on the button that lets you choose what your want your current default chat channel to be.
might need to press the touch pad twice for it to go to the chat window
I thought it is a touch pad click
gonna re ask is there any help i can get in regards to my issue with my xb1 controller acting buggy
Acting buggy how?
steam overlay or native
sometimes my toon will keep moving when i let go of the stick or not move when i do and to the steam or native not sure. how do i check that
how often are these gathering skills used?
i had had a 360 controller that had been doing the same thinking it was the controller but when i replaced it the new controller did the same

I'm not very well versed in the technical stuff, but unless the controllers are getting worn down it could be a sensitivity issue
it sounds like either a windows or steam overlay issue
how often are these gathering skills used?
@nova umbra can you type out their names?
it didnt used to happen but then started happening all the time..
so how do i acces the steam overlay to see if its the issue
um, Clear Vision, Bountiful Yield, Solid Reason, Deep Vigor @warped nest
!action Clear Vision
This is slightly useful at endgame rotation
Which JP server should a new player go to that has a good amount of English-speakers?
tonberry or kujata
otherwise, any preferred server on the datacenter with tonberry
and just world visit tonberry
Can't make a new character now.
until the end of time
When you are gathering high difficulty legendary nodes with 6 attempts (by default), if you manage to mine items from it 5 times consecutively, you can active a Deep Vigoe Ability, which make sure the rest of your attempts will yield High quality items
!status tonberry
!action Solid Reason
Tonberry is under Elemental. If I join a server under Elemental, can I change to other servers within Elemental?
@nova umbra clear vision, no. Bountiful Yield, solid reason, and deep vigor are essential in increasing High Quality yield from Legendary Nodes.
For more info
!faq Balance
They have documents for advanced gatherers there
!faq worldvisit
The World Visit System allows players to visit other worlds on the same data center. After hopping to another world, you are then able to do almost everything you are normally able to such as partying up to take on duties. Click the link below to find out how it works, and what restrictions there are.
@latent haven
You can also pay for server changed
what does deep vigor actually mean? It says it increases the chance of obtaining regular or HQ items, so it's random?
no
Ahh ok.
you use it to guarentee item yield
best used with levequests
so you spam 100% low level item, deep vigor, get a high quality item, profit for maximum points without rng
ooh neat, thanks
did they change grand company? or is there still no difference between some armor looks?
the only difference is cosmetic and it's just a color reskin i think
!action Deep Vigoe
@nova umbra legendary nodes has 6 gathering attempts
Unlike normal nodes, which usually has 4
So, if you manage to mine into a chain of 4, you can pop Deep Vigor
And the remaining mining attempt will yield HQ. Clear vision here will give you more attempts, and Bountiful Yield will increase the amount you get?
Good starter samurai ability rotation setups ? Just switched over from ninja and wanna try it out
Lvl 50?
Yeah also I’m controller
tl;dr speed buff > sen, damage buff > Iajitsu > sen, spam midare (all 3 sen) until DoT (one sen) is almost up, repeat
That's the boss opener
Any screenshots I can see for PS4 player ?
You don't want that
Samurai gets a lot of skills from 50-80, they uses close to 32 slots, and what's comfy for me might not work for you.
My current advice
Go find a striking dummy, same level or lower level than you
Remove ALL skills off your hotbar
Open your Action and Trait window
Read your trait from lvl 1-50
Then slowly add skills to your hotbar, read their tooltips, then use them on the striking dummy
This simulate leveling up a samurai from lvl 1
Imo, same ish
How can i floating this furnishing set to place on wooden loft ? i trying this but it not work for this https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LOLbnswqTBA
@stable elk
Additional info on the bottom
Take note that Samurai has 2 kenki traits that allow them to generate kenki from doing basic combos, these two traits are lvl 52 and 62 respectively
Seeing that you are level 50 for now, you can ignore them in any text for the time being
Anyone know the minimum and maximum range for hidden housing timer? Or at least the community consensus on what it is?
it's completely random
some people have reported waiting up to 3-5 days, maybe more
so basically you either idle or you hope you get lucky
How much content is there in just the base game? I haven't bought the expansions yet.
Like, how many hours can I pour into from the game?
a lot
@candid cloak sorry that my answers have buried your question
Do you mind posting it again
Define 'a lot'. 10 hours? 100 hours? Till death?
So others can see it?
well
Very hard to estimate
the MSQ will take you anywhere from 10 to 30 hours depending on cutscenes
Because people don't stay in base game
additional endgame content (level 50 junk) is 10-20 hours
leveling all the jobs to 50 is limitless
doing crafting and gathering will take 10-20 hours
Probably around 5-7 days per DOW/M?
Same goes for DoH/L
Assuming playing 8-12 hours
So in short, I can expect a lot of playtime in just the base game. Sweet.
oh and the endless number of patch quests before heavensward
Patch quests?
the game introduces new story quests in between expansions
Don't forget multiple hours and breaches of sanity doing the relics
which are bundled with the current expansion
Yeah, you don't want to do relic
(for instance, we're currently on 5.2 for Shadowbringers)
That's very bad for mental health
between launch and the first expansion Heavensward, there was a lot of content added in patches
Story yes, but also lots of additional dungeons and sidequests and activities
Story quests are nice. More story for me.
I read that you can change your classes. That is nice to me. I don't like sticking to one class cuz I don't to start from scratch just to try out a new class.
!whoclasses @slate arrow
Btw, if you enjoy comedy
:^)
FFXIV has a very well received questline
Hildibrand
It is about the comedic adventurer of a gentleman detective
It starts at
I don't remember, does it start at... 50?
It is 👌 and 
Do I need to be 'endgame level' if I want to start the expansions or are they playable from the start?
expansions continue the story so on top of having to hit level cap
you need to do all the patch quests
this isn't WoW or your other typical MMO
here the story is the main content
you can't skip the story or leveling (without paying)
So I need to finish the base game before I can do the expansions. Got it.
The expansion is consecutive too bte
You can't skip to Shadowbringers directly after you finished ARR
(unless you pay for story skip)

is there any reason to run content from arr or prior expansions (raids)?
do people still do those, like as a new player would I be able to experience them?
sweet
Will you be able to experience them? Very hard
was gonna be sad
Most players do these without level sync
so they just blast through it?
You can still find people or guilds who would like to do these synced
Take note that I am referring to EX trials and Savage raids
Normal trials, Alliance raids, and Normal raid are all doable with Duty Finder with level sync
oh okay, so all in all I should easily be able to at least experience them visually/narrative-wise
good stuff
umm it seems I can only pick up 2 other classes in the starting town? and then a few gathering/crafting ones?
if so where can I get the others?
in the other cities
you will unlock airships as part of the
that allows you to go to the others. once you have your class quests on lvl 10 complete, you can unlock others
yea unlocking airship is like level 15 onward
oh 😦 damn only caster is conjurer here ugh
We generally don't recommend maintaining so many classes at the same time
It will severely slow you down with your 
my what?
At the very least, you may want to stick to one class until you hit the level 20 Main Scenario Quest, so that you can unlock mount riding
sadly archer seems fairly clunky 😦
Anyone got an easy to follow dragoon rotation?
10 yeah the attacks don't fire very well
What level, Kraniel?
50
At low level, the game just focus on teaching you how to navigate, do quests, interact etc etc
Lvl 50
Umm one sec
Ty
idk why but it feels like as an archer i'm basically a caster and theres no ability queueing and it almost feels like there are no auto attacks and as if the attacks aren't coming from the bow lol idk how to describe it
You do your True Thrust, Disembowel, Chaos Thrust
Then you do the other combo twice
Then you go back to Chaos Thrust Combo again
Thanks.
