[leaden ginkgo]

I will try it though, see what I come up with

may be able to figure it out on my own now that I'm in the right direction

[open coral]

If you sit in a major city like Limsa Lominsa or Ul'dah long enough, you'll inevitably see people advertising their FCs in /shout (orange) chat.

Read what they have to say, and apply to any that look good based on those advertisements.

[leaden ginkgo]

nah yeah, other mmos are the same. but more often then not in those cases the FCs (or well, guilds) being advertised for are far from good options, either due to being insanely small, scammy, rude, etc. The more notable ones would usually post on forums or such, where feedback can be more easily posted. Not saying that's the case here, of course, just trying to explain my hesitation :P.

Whats the glamour in this picture and modern aestheric?

[leaden ginkgo]

Yeah, saw that too, so I"ll definetly look into that @blissful matrix . I guess I wanted to be sure I wasn't missing anything :p

thanks for the help!

[queen cove]

[faint flare]

Clear A12 normal first

[keen fable]

ye know, i've been putting my pet on steady thinking it would only attack when i did

yea turns out ive been missing a bit of damage

[faint flare]

Yeah you never really changw steady/guard

[knotty viper]

stupid question but how do i apply/join an fc?

[faint flare]

Shout for one

[knotty viper]

Is that really how it's done in this game lmao

[keen fable]

that's how its done in most games

[faint flare]

Yes, no Fc finder or anything

[knotty viper]

How do I even shout? I don't ever see anyone advertising fc's in chat either

No matter where I am

[keen fable]

/shout

[knotty viper]

Do I have a chat setting off or something?

[dusky nest]

@forest lark pretty sure the answer is: mods

[leaden ginkgo]

Yeah pretty much everything in that screenshot is modded

Lmao

[manic sentinel]

fastest way to lvl in eureka is by doing the challenge log? currently lvl 5

[mossy current]

Doing Notorious Monsters and challenge log

[manic sentinel]

Can I do the notorious ones at 5?

I saw some monster lvl 10+ along the way, idk if I can sneak past them

[mossy current]

NMs about 1 level higher than you can give you all the rewards, but sneaking by is fine. In my experience, people will be happy to rez you

[manic sentinel]

tyvm

[proud willow]

It takes some time to get used to, but enemies' aggro radius in Eureka is incredibly small. You can waltz right through a pack of enemies if you're careful

[manic sentinel]

Also have kind of an advantage as I'm a pld

[proud willow]

but some enemies aggro by sight and some do not

[robust magnet]

Is there a list of gatherer skills (including fishing) that aren't really ever used at lv80?

[hazy root]

any new players out here? literally downloading the game for the first time at the moment

[robust magnet]

If you got any questions feel free to ask

[keen fable]

so

i was given an msq "on to the drydocks"

i remember in the dialogue the npc mentioned a short way to get there

but i cant remember what it was

[remote lintel]

boat

talk to ferry skipper

[keen fable]

how do i know which ferry to go to

[remote lintel]

the name of the aetheryte there?

[fading frigate]

Is there a tool or site I can use to see what each race would look like with different gear? I know I could start a new character and see in the game menu but I was hoping to see more job specific looks

[keen fable]

oh

ok

lol

wait, the ferry isn't available until level 15

[obsidian patio]

@fading frigate this site is a bit barebones and doesn’t tell if the headpiece can’t be used on Hrothgar/Viera, but it gets the job done. https://ffxiv.dlunch.net/model.html

[fading frigate]

@obsidian patio thank you! I’m having a heard time deciding race 🙂

[keen fable]

i think the npc mentioned something about a chocobo

[remote lintel]

hi! question ab configurations. just switched to a new desktop and am trying to figure out how to transfer over my hotbars and gear sets (and all of the time-consuming good stuff). i uploaded my client data and then downloaded it on my new system but all of my character configs are missing :(((

[shut locust]

hi i'm looking to buy ff14 because it's on sale on ps4 rn, however i wonder if it's possible to start my 30 day trial later? i'm quite busy rn but the sale is so juicy :(

[remote lintel]

[shut locust]

where do i get the code? i'm looking to buy the digital version on ps store but haven't yet

[obsidian patio]

@shut locust not sure if you can delay digital PS4 registration :/

Since it’s applied automatically upon purchase

[remote lintel]

you can buy it for ps4 on the squeenix website

[shut locust]

so the trial doesn't start when i register for a ff14 account but upon purchase instead?

[obsidian patio]

Sorry I meant that you can’t buy the game on the PS4 store and “hold” onto it while you still play on the trial.

[shut locust]

ok i see

thanks for the replies

[remote lintel]

you can buy it on the square enix website for ps4 and then hold onto the code @shut locust

while you play your trial

[shut locust]

yea but it's on sale rn on digital store

[obsidian patio]

@modest ledge if you still have access to your previous computer you may be able to send the character specific files to your new one, which include stuff like macros, hud, and gearsets

[remote lintel]

it's on sale on the square enix website too

[obsidian patio]

https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/9xid13/how_do_i_transfer_character_settings_to_another/

Hi. On ps4 where can I locate cooldown bars so I monitor my cds while playing? I didn't think it was possible but I was told it was added ages ago

[crystal bluff]

[velvet reef]

well first you gotta unlock the Savage raid

[crystal bluff]

i know im not ready

[velvet reef]

[faint flare]

You can just be lucky

With it dropping

[obsidian patio]

It’s super easy unsynced

[velvet reef]

it doesn't drop

[faint flare]

And dont need the books

[obsidian patio]

You see no mechanics at all with a semi-full party of 4 at level 80

[faint flare]

It does

[velvet reef]

oh

[crystal bluff]

oh its a HW savage

[faint flare]

Otherwise you wouldn't he able to exchange it

[velvet reef]

makes sense

im going to sleep

[obsidian patio]

Just don’t mix the Nisi and you’re good

[faint flare]

Idk why i thought gordias was midas for a hot second

[crystal bluff]

[faint flare]

Turn on Undersized party in duty finder options

tryna save for a house

[obsidian patio]

You’d have to check your marketboard prices to answer that. :/

[lime sphinx]

kk cause i see granite selling kinda quick and for like 600-700 each

and its pretty low level

[keen fable]

why is there a level 50 mob in a level 12/13 zone

[obsidian patio]

Hunt monsters

ARR endgame thing

[keen fable]

i see

its dangeorus 'round these parts

[obsidian patio]

The ones with blue icons by their names are passive so just be sure not to accidentally hit them

Because they run faster than any mount.

[obsidian patio]

Oh yeah that’s an angry crab

[wintry chasm]

Well...

I'd /shout the monsters location and someone is probably going to go and kill it for the rewards

[obsidian patio]

You want Nahn of him

[blissful matrix]

best way to level fishing between job quests?

[obsidian patio]

Leves

[blissful matrix]

oh didnt know they had leves for fishing

[obsidian patio]

Ocean fishing too if that’s up

[blissful matrix]

pog

[restive willow]

guys is scholar a meme? the class just seems kinda nonsensical and contradictory in its principle

there's a shit ton of long-cooldown buttons complicating your mechanics for AoEs but then you have Fey Blessing which attaches your fairy to one person, so like what? it's like it's trying to be everything or something but it just seems like it has a bunch of extensions to its healing that are unecessary and complicated while clogging up your hotbar

[keen fable]

no

its meant to shield

and dps

[mossy current]

Is this a question or a rant

[keen fable]

preemptive play to prevent damage rather than heal it back up

[restive willow]

but like it just seems like a shit healer?

take succor for example

[mossy current]

But yeah, SCH is a great healer

[keen fable]

its not meant to heal primarily

[restive willow]

why would you want half the heal of an AoE to be a shield

oh not primarily ?

[keen fable]

i just said why

[restive willow]

sorry go on?

[little swift]

succor isn't your aoe burst heal

[mossy current]

Indom is

[little swift]

indom is

[mossy current]

Even then

[little swift]

scholar is designed around aetherflow/ fairy management

[restive willow]

@little swift looking through my skill list, indom does not exist

[little swift]

you're not supposed to rely on GCD healing

indomitability

is the full name of the spell

[restive willow]

lol

[little swift]

!ac indomitability

[restive willow]

im dumb

yeah i got it

[keen fable]

it's more about using your shields to prevent damage rather than wait for damage to occur and then heal it back up

[obsidian patio]

You also have emergency tactics to make succor 100% heal

[restive willow]

but uh, i could see scholar being viable in a raid group but it seems otherwise like the weakest option

[wintry chasm]

Not really?

[mossy current]

It's great in dungeons

[little swift]

thats absolutely not true

[mossy current]

As is any healer

[wintry chasm]

I'm not sure why you think that

[restive willow]

because healing > shields

[faint flare]

Scholar is one of the strongest healers

Shields PREVENT damage so you never have to heal that damage

[wintry chasm]

Shields is basically better health for all intents and purposes

[restive willow]

one of well there's only three

[wintry chasm]

Shields are better than health because they aren't limited by the max HP of the target

[faint flare]

Scholar's plethora of off global heals makes it thr king of off globald

[restive willow]

@faint flare shield is not valuable on DPS since they might not take damage in that time

[faint flare]

Thats why

[wintry chasm]

Shields last a good while

[faint flare]

You shield before damage they're going to take

[little swift]

damage in this game is very easy to see coming as well

[faint flare]

Like aoe

Also ^

[little swift]

you can time the shielding around it

[restive willow]

yeah i try to do that

[faint flare]

Damage is scripted out the ass

[dry tree]

when's a good time to cast "surecast"?

[mossy current]

What job?

[dry tree]

when im reviving?

[faint flare]

When knockbacks happen

[proud willow]

This idea that "SCH = shields" is kinda fake too

[dry tree]

whm

[proud willow]

a huge amount of SCH healing is not shields

[wintry chasm]

also if they aren't going to take damage for a while you could just use one or your ogcd aetherflow skills or just like the fairy heal the DPS

[faint flare]

Surecast is anti knockback

[restive willow]

i just dont see why i would want to play scholar over other mages if im not planning to raid

[nimble cedar]

Hey guys, just wondering if there is a way to program a macro to do what a macro is doing already? I essentially want this macro to activate parts of my UI. I don’t have enough space from the 15 lines given and want more space so What I want would use a second macro to activate the first one and then I still have another 14 lines to work with

Is this possible ?

[faint flare]

Because its off global skills are extremely strong

[halcyon rune]

In endgame content, there's a lot of damage that would 100% to 0% any party member with a vuln stack. The extra funcional hp from shields can save lives.

[proud willow]

because your AOE has no cast time unlike WHM or AST, meaning you have unlimited access to oGCDs up the wazoo while nuking a giant pack

[restive willow]

so its a good burster? @faint flare

[faint flare]

Its good for planning

Which goes into all raids

Every savage tier has a healing cooldown sheet

[restive willow]

yeah but excluding raids

[wintry chasm]

@restive willow not sure why you are separating raids like that. They work like every single piece of content. If you can see why you'd use it in a raid then you see why you'd want to play it in every piece of content

[halcyon rune]

Scholar is preemptive, White Mage is reactive. Astro can do both.

[wintry chasm]

You want to chain macros together FOG?

[faint flare]

Even in normal dungeons, jts.off.globals carry

[nimble cedar]

Yea essentially @wintry chasm

[faint flare]

It.has a ton of.free healing

[nimble cedar]

Like using one macro inside of another

[wintry chasm]

Nope no can do Fog

[little swift]

you can't chain macros

[nimble cedar]

Ah I see, so only 15 likes max

[halcyon rune]

SCH has a lot of insta ogcd heals, WHM has the biggest GCD heals.

[faint flare]

Nope cause botting

[wintry chasm]

That's a purposeful design choice

[restive willow]

@wintry chasm no, there's only three healers so ofc you wanna have a healer that can shield if another cant, there's a very clear separation since dung meta is not the same as raid meta

[little swift]

are you doing crafting macros?

[nimble cedar]

No it’s a UI macro

[little swift]

telos there is no meta

what do you mean

[obsidian patio]

Dungeons have no meta

[keen fable]

I have an idea, what if people wanted to play scholar because it's fun

[obsidian patio]

They’re casual content

[nimble cedar]

I just want the macro to toggle stuff on and off but I don’t have enough room

I need like 3 more lines

[halcyon rune]

There used to be on Stromblood, now all classes are pretty even.

[wintry chasm]

But there is nothing wrong about just having one scholar and no other healer

[restive willow]

right, i could play with a scholar in a dung

it doesnt matter

but also why should i

[faint flare]

Because

You.like it

?

[wintry chasm]

Why should you play any job?

[proud willow]

!ac Art of War

[halcyon rune]

I have all 3 on cap. I alternate between all 3.

[halcyon rune]

Also Recitation + Adloquium is one sexy beast of a shield.

[nimble cedar]

Thanks for help guys, I see why it probably isn’t a good idea to have it

Wish we had another 5 lines to work with tho

[restive willow]

@halcyon rune you mean it stacks?

[wintry chasm]

Just make another macro FOG

[halcyon rune]

If you crit an Adloquium, it's shield is 4x.

Recitation guarantees a crit.

[restive willow]

are you sure?

[nimble cedar]

I am doing that rn but it’s a bit unfortunate since I want everything from 1 macro to be copied over into the next one

[halcyon rune]

Reci -> Adlo -> Deployment is a BIG partywise shield.

[faint flare]

Yes

[warped seal]

that's... not how criticals work in FFXIV

[nimble cedar]

So the new one won’t work

[restive willow]

am i just missing the description or is that not mentioned

[halcyon rune]

It does for Adlo

[faint flare]

Crit adlo gives the target catayzlise

[wintry chasm]

^

[restive willow]

ohoooo

okok

[faint flare]

Which is basically another shield ontop of the galivaise

[wintry chasm]

Which is why they are saying 4x probably

[restive willow]

but i still have one more question regarding scholar

which is they fey union

[faint flare]

Its a stronger embrace

So

Just toss it on the tank to heal them. Up

[wintry chasm]

Nice for a massive dungeon pull or sustained damage tbh

[halcyon rune]

Reci + Adlo is half my hp worth of shield

[restive willow]

it seems counter-productive since right now (im not capped yet btw) the fairy is a lot of extra help when it comes to AoE healing, making sure those who didnt get healed to full do so, so fey union kinda neglects that

[faint flare]

Again

Fey union

Is a strongwr embrace

!action fey union

[zinc orbit]

**Fey Union** : lvl 70 SCH (0.0 second cooldown)

Gradually restores HP of party member with which faerie has a Fey Union.
Cure Potency: 400
Faerie Gauge is depleted while HP is restored. Fey Union effect fades upon execution of other faerie actions. Party member must be within 15 yalms.

※This action cannot be assigned to a hotbar.

Powered by XIVAPI

[restive willow]

but at the cost of your fairy, basically

[halcyon rune]

Rather, a lazer-pointed embrace.

[obsidian patio]

You generally use it when only one or two people are taking damage

[proud willow]

That is a huge misconception. by and large, you can ignore what the fairy does for party members other than the tank

[faint flare]

^

[wintry chasm]

Except early dungeons

[faint flare]

You want your fairy.on the tank primarily

[restive willow]

but i dont igno- yeah Calisae just answered it

[faint flare]

And use whispering dawn to heal others

Later fey blessing gives you.the aoe healing gauge spender

[restive willow]

thats nice, so when i use fey union i whisp dawn?

[faint flare]

Whispering dawn then fey union

[obsidian patio]

Before, but yeah if you need to.

[halcyon rune]

No, it will cancel it. Whister then Union.

[restive willow]

ah

yeah okay

i think its clear i just dont understand this class lmao

and thought it looked kinda bad on paper

[halcyon rune]

Imagine like the Medic from TF2 or Mercy from overwatch applying their heal beam on someone. That's Fey Union.

[faint flare]

Like i said, just treat union as a stronger embrace

[halcyon rune]

I cap the meter then Union the tank and kinda focus on damage for a while, save for aoes.

[restive willow]

one more question actually, while i have the chance

chain stratagem

the description for it is so weird

[faint flare]

Use on cooldown

[restive willow]

is it an enemy debuff to increase ally crits

or what

[faint flare]

It increases the groups crit on vs that mob

[restive willow]

but how does it calculate

like say if my BLM has 50% crate

and i add 10%

is that 55?

how does it work

[obsidian patio]

No idea. Balance discord probably knows

!faq balance

[zinc orbit]

The Balance

Discord

[restive willow]

ah okay

[timber urchin]

Best method to level from 50 to 60 easly + rulettes.

[restive willow]

and does it matter whether i summon Selene or Eos?

or are they both the same

[little swift]

same now

no difference

[restive willow]

yeah figured just wanted to make sure

[little swift]

just choose the one you like more visually

[solemn delta]

I've put a horizontal bar above my main bars for my cooldowns on ps4 but it's numbered like I'm trying to use mouse and keyboard. Can I change the stuff on it cause I'm pressing my keyboard and it's just going straight to my chat

[obsidian patio]

You have to disable the “Enable Direct Chat” option in Control settings to use the keyboard for more than just typing

[solemn delta]

Then it should technically be usable for in game. I don't want to use it but I'll change my hud then change it back

Cause that's all I use it for typing to party and fc

[obsidian patio]

With that option disabled you start typing by pressing enter first

Just to avoid accidental keybind stuff

[solemn delta]

Right let's see if this works thanks I'll try

[flat summit]

Hey guys

Im at level 79 msq but level 80 now, Im not sure if I should focus my time getting the relic wep Im going for or keep doing the msq

What would u recommend?

[solemn delta]

And can I get rid of the names of abilities popping up when I'm holding R buttons down omg I never even noticed before but it's so annoying and gets in the way so much

[remote lintel]

since u don't care about the msq u can do the relic weapon

but you'll have to do the ivalice side quests

[flat summit]

Ivalice?

[obsidian patio]

Level 70 24-man raid series

[remote lintel]

https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Return_to_Ivalice_Quests

[solemn delta]

70 alliance raid quests

Takes a little time

[remote lintel]

not that long

[solemn delta]

Depends my queues we're nasty

[obsidian patio]

Also note you need to complete shadowbringers base story to start shadowbringers relic

[remote lintel]

oh right

forgot about that

[solemn delta]

Yeah that's a pre req

[remote lintel]

guess ur doing the msq

[solemn delta]

Just as well getting it done anyway

Tbf I was searching for orbonne at 2am lol on an EU server

No wonder I gave up after 90 minutes

Next day 10 min queue at 11am

[remote lintel]

[flat summit]

Oh ok

[remote lintel]

I guess people don't have jobs to do

[solemn delta]

Right now a LOT don't no!

Not with what's going on

[flat summit]

I have jobs to do

But Im a lazy procrastinating bastard

Who does shit at the last min xD

[solemn delta]

2m off 2nd 80 gonna try figure out this keyboard thanks

How can i get the Aetherpool arms?

[solemn delta]

But i can't edit it!

Whaaat

[obsidian patio]

Edit what exactly?

[solemn delta]

[obsidian patio]

@crimson wind exchange Aetherpool levels (10/10) to E-Una-Kotr

That's bound to my keyboard

[crimson wind]

Who is E-Una-Kotr

[obsidian patio]

Right by the entrance to palace of the dead

[crimson wind]

And I have to get the weapon to +10 to obtain it?

[obsidian patio]

You need multiple grips to get a weapon

[solemn delta]

There's a pic

[obsidian patio]

30/30 total levels for a Padjali weapon, 90/90 for a Kinna weapon

[faint flare]

Drag stuff

Using the virtual mouse or touch pad

[solemn delta]

I'm trying to basically make that vertical bar my CD watcher

[obsidian patio]

Padjali being the white weapons, and Kinna being the black/red weapons

[remote lintel]

you mean horizontal

[obsidian patio]

Use Virtual Mouse to move skills to/from there

[solemn delta]

I'm tired yeah lol haha

[obsidian patio]

Press L1+R3

Then use L2/R2 as left/right click to drag stuff to it

[remote lintel]

how are you supposed to use those with a controller

[obsidian patio]

Short answer you don’t. You use them as a visual aid to see the cooldown of stuff

[remote lintel]

ohhhhhhh

I get it

[solemn delta]

I'm not using the horizontal bar to do anything besides watch cds

Cds on my 2nd/3rd bar that I'm only hitting every 60/90 seconds etc

Thank you sir

[narrow arch]

What’s the point of the loading screens between a city and a small room/space? Like could the game not load this small area as well?

Like sometimes you have to talk to a guard or something just to enter one room

[faint flare]

Cause they're probably elsewhere on the map/game

[obsidian patio]

Or instanced

[remote lintel]

they exist in a vacuum

[potent tapir]

Most of them are instanced, right?

[narrow arch]

Like the waking sands for example. You load all of thanalan but not the room?

[potent tapir]

If I remember correctly, that used to be a non-instanced zone back during 2.x

[remote lintel]

waking sands differs based on story

[potent tapir]

Which wound up with people not being able to see NPC's

Or load in a timely manner

So they fixed it by making it a fully instanced area

If I remember correctly, anyway

[daring hinge]

I finally got on 35 level but there's red on my exp, it means I cannot go any higher than level 35 right? I just made my account for free trial btw.

[narrow arch]

Or in Ishgard there’s a few areas like the manor that has a loading screen despite only being one small room

[remote lintel]

@daring hinge yes

[daring hinge]

So do I need to buy it to continue?

[warped nest]

Yes

[agile laurel]

I can only imagine it's a case of small areas with very heavy phasing

[remote lintel]

@narrow arch probably because it has to figure out which NPCs to load

[potent tapir]

Yeah, free trial is capped at 35

[daring hinge]

Okay, thanks.

[agile laurel]

mm. since there's probably near-50 different npc renditions of Waking Sands, Rising Stones and Fortemps Manor each

[warped nest]

Most if not all of these rooms have many happening there

[remote lintel]

^

[potent tapir]

I think most NPC comps are just visible/not visible to whatever your quest flags are though

[warped nest]

Making them instanced allows the players to be distributed into different instances to avoid loading 200 players on the same rooms

[daring hinge]

I always get guest when I completed a lot of guest.

[agile laurel]

the only one that throws me for a loop is Ruby Bazaar cause sure it has msq in it but only 5 appearances

or so

[potent tapir]

But most of it is just because they want to avoid too many players

[narrow arch]

That’s the one I’m in now

[blissful matrix]

stopping the fishing session resets what you throw back when fishing right?

[twilit arch]

yes

[midnight frigate]

So lately i have been DC in dungeons with no Error reading at all, now i have tried all the fixes that the support copy and paste in a email as well as what people on Reddit and the forums say, im not sure what is going on

can someone please help me?

im now at a SB dungeon to continue with the story and i cant insta DC as soon as i start

[warped nest]

How can you DC with no error?

The game just close?

Or you are out of the dungeon?

[midnight frigate]

yes the game just cloeses

the moment i go in the dungeon it just closes

[obsidian patio]

From what I remember, that may be related to damaged/corrupted files

[warped nest]

Loading bug?

Yeah

[midnight frigate]

how do i fix it?

just redowload?

[warped nest]

Reinstall

[midnight frigate]

alright i will try that

[unreal aspen]

is there like a basic guide to leveling crafting/gathering through ishgard restoration? when i google it i just find macros and like exp calculators, but i'm very confused by how im supposed to do it efficiently and i can't find a basic guide

like when i go to the diadem i feel like i just end up flying around endlessly and finding like 2 nodes every 4-5 minutes - is it supposed to take that long, or am i doing something wrong?

[remote lintel]

u mean u don't know your rotation or you just dont know what to do?

[unreal aspen]

what to do, mostly with the gathering part

the crafting makes sense fortunately

i just feel like i fly around constantly and find zero nodes

[faint flare]

Spam your location skill

Like constantly

[unreal aspen]

oh! i was just activating it and leaving it on, does turning it on/off make a difference?

[faint flare]

Nodes spawn in a track so just keep spamming it

Not truth of mountains

Or forests

Arbor call

And the miner variants

[burnt wraith]

How do I add a friend? Cause I click social then player search and can't find my friend... Do we have to be in the same world/ server?

[unreal aspen]

aaaaaaaaaaah

thank u

[faint flare]

Spam it

[twilit arch]

the diadem nodes are basically one giant circle

[faint flare]

They point you to nodes

[twilit arch]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/570487167680249877/687520082901073935/DIADEM_MAP_BTN.png

[unreal aspen]

that makes much more sense thank u so much LOL

[twilit arch]

miner route is essentially the same

[remote lintel]

@burnt wraith are you on the same data center

[solemn delta]

Does anyone know where the option is to hide ability names when I'm holding down L2/R2

[burnt wraith]

@remote lintel yes we're both in NA data center

[solemn delta]

It's just a nuisance and I know every ability lol

[remote lintel]

just plan to meet up somewhere and add them in person

[faint flare]

Character config > hotbar > cross > turn off display hotbar help

[solemn delta]

Thanks mate

Much better.

[burnt wraith]

so even if we are on different servers if we meet up at the same spot we can see each other?

[remote lintel]

yes, but you have to be on the same world

[faint flare]

You world visit

[twilit arch]

one of you will need to world visit

[faint flare]

And then you can meet up

[twilit arch]

you can do so by clicking on the big crystal in the major city

[burnt wraith]

I see it Ty 😊

[solemn delta]

it's actually brilliant for multiple purposes I've saved millions on the MB server hopping lol

350k on twintania, 70 on odin? Great.

[burnt wraith]

What if they r in a different server? Cause she isn't on any of the worlds listed but she's on one of the other NA servers

[remote lintel]

then you can't

[solemn delta]

Then you can't

Yep

[burnt wraith]

that's dumb

[solemn delta]

Not really

[remote lintel]

would be too crowded

[faint flare]

Has to be on the same data centre

[solemn delta]

They've got a great system in place imo

You can transfer if you really wanna play with your friend.

But that costs mulah

[burnt wraith]

How much?

[remote lintel]

"NA" isn't the data center

the data centers are aether, primal, and crystal

[solemn delta]

12 Bucks uk

[narrow glacier]

It's $10 USD

[burnt wraith]

Oh 😂 @remote lintel

[solemn delta]

Whhhhaaaatttt

[narrow glacier]

Except if you go from congested to preferred server

[burnt wraith]

I'm in primal

[solemn delta]

Like half price for Americans!?

[narrow glacier]

wait... that's name change maybe

[remote lintel]

that's name change

[solemn delta]

Its 12 UK pounds I think that's at least 15 dollars

[remote lintel]

its 18$ for transfer

[twilit arch]

its 18$ for transfer

[solemn delta]

There you go

[remote lintel]

so more expensive

[narrow glacier]

There's also restrictions around name servers

and you can go from one DC to another but there's a bit of prep work involved before hand

[solemn delta]

Like I joined the same data centre as my friends but they are on Odin. I joined Twintania cause its preferred and I caught up and overtook them cause of road to 70, we can still play together np

It's great tbh

Anyway, thanks for HUD help guys. Off to eat and sleep have a good one

[zinc tundra]

hey guys! hope you're well. my question's a bit more account-oriented than game related, but I thought I'd ask anyways

I started the free trial through steam, but purchased the game through the SE store. is there anyway to migrate that account or am I just kind of screwed

[remote lintel]

you're screwed

[twilit arch]

you'd have to make a new service account under your current mogstation account, but you're effectively starting over

[noble plank]

What should I know if I'm trying pvp for the first time?

[zinc tundra]

that's lovely

[narrow arch]

Every time I finish a raid I get a notification that my second chance points have been added to the journal 9/9. I have no idea what that means

[remote lintel]

starting over doesn't take that long

[warped nest]

PvP has different actions than your normal PvE actions

you should go to the Wolves Den (PvP prep area)

[narrow arch]

Sorry not a raid a trial

[warped nest]

your hotbar will change there to your PvP hotbar

[narrow arch]

Could be for a raid too idk. I just see it after my trials I do

[twilit arch]

its for the wondrous tails book

[warped nest]

find a striking dummy there (top of the ship) and practice your PvP skills first

[remote lintel]

you're doing a trial for the first time?

ifrit?

[twilit arch]

You can pick up the book from Khloe in idyllshire, which basically has you do several different instances to collect stickers

[narrow arch]

Do I like cash that in somewhere it says 9/9 so I assume I’m done?

[twilit arch]

and when you get 9 stickers, you can turn the book into her

[remote lintel]

oh i read wrong

[twilit arch]

second chance points let you reset objectives or shuffle the sticker board if you're between 3-7 stickers

to try and get lines

since the whole point of the book is to make 3 lines to get best rewards

[narrow arch]

Where do I go to check my book? I vaguely remember doing a quest about her book

[twilit arch]

if you picked up a book from her, it'll be in your key items section

[flat summit]

Hey guys

[twilit arch]

you get second chance points regardless of whether you've got a book in your position or not, so long as you've unlocked the feature

[narrow arch]

It says my time has expired when I click on the book

[twilit arch]

you get second chance points from doing instances with a new person

[flat summit]

For white common gears, they dont become bound to u even if u equip and wear them?

[twilit arch]

the books expire every 2 weeks

you can pick up a new book every week tho

you have to earn exp or glamour with it to bind it to you @flat summit

[flat summit]

Earn xp how?

Just wearing and fighting with them?

[narrow arch]

Is there a point to the book or is it old content?

[burnt wraith]

I'm so confused on this shit. Its not letting me select a different world to transfer to

[twilit arch]

yes, earn exp by murdering something

you can get pretty decent rewards, like 1mil mgp card. can also get poetics/phanta/allegory potentially from it

[flat summit]

So it will become bound to me once I go do a dungeon

[burnt wraith]

I'm trying to transfer my character from Primal to Aether but its being dumb

[flat summit]

Btw theres no benefits for having a vear bind to u right? Only thing is u cant sell it?

[remote lintel]

@burnt wraith "there are no eligible characters for home world transfer"

[twilit arch]

you confirmed your home world, right?

[flat summit]

To players

[burnt wraith]

@twilit arch wym by confirm?

[coral venture]

https://www.playerauctions.com/ffxiv-items/149962749i!tales-of-adventure-stormblood/ is this website legit?

[remote lintel]

@coral venture don't buy things from players

[twilit arch]

cerberus is correct tho, you're getting a warning that you cannot transfer with any character on that home world

[jade quartz]

Gear binds to you whenever you use it in combat or crafting/gathering.

[remote lintel]

i'm pretty sure that's against tos

[coral venture]

tos?

[jade quartz]

Just means you can't resell gear after using it for anything.

[remote lintel]

terms of service

[twilit arch]

@coral venture no that site is not legit

If its not mogstation for mogstation items, its not safe to buy from

[burnt wraith]

🤦 so basically I gotta make a brand new character just so I can play with my friends

[remote lintel]

did you look up the prerequisites for transferring characters?

and are you sure your character meets them?

[burnt wraith]

Even tho we are in the North American data center

I'm new to this so no

[remote lintel]

https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/playguide/option_service/world_transfer_service/

[burnt wraith]

I just started playing a few days ago.

[remote lintel]

you need to wait 90 days

[burnt wraith]

For what

[remote lintel]

to be eligible to transfer

[warped nest]

you cannot just make a fresh character and transfer immediately

[burnt wraith]

💆🏻

[remote lintel]

what chronos said

[zinc tundra]

hey kaelwryn, you mentioned making a new service account under my current mogstation account. how would I go about doing that?

[burnt wraith]

Okay well ty

[rain pendant]

Hey!Could anyone give me a quick overview on the mage classes? Ive been looking at video but most of them are fairly old, so i dont know if things changed
im looking for something mobile / high APM if possible out of the mage classes

[twilit arch]

@zinc tundra click on "add new service account"

[remote lintel]

@rain pendant all mage classes or certain roles?

[tight spoke]

What's the HW raid that's on a massive black ship called

[twilit arch]

hrm

[rain pendant]

DPS, if thats what ur asking

[twilit arch]

oh, you're on trial so i think you might not have the option x|

@tight spoke void ark

[zinc tundra]

hm

so is this whole account just locked to steam lol

[keen fable]

I was on trial when I added mine

[warped nest]

mobile / high APM: either Summoner or Red Mage

[remote lintel]

black mage has really high dps but no support skills and can be confusing to use, red mage is easy to use and uses both white and black magic but has a little less dps than others, summoner has bahamut @rain pendant

[tight spoke]

Ah ty

[keen fable]

Contact support? @zinc tundra

[rain pendant]

what about like Global cooldowns / mobility on those classes?

[zinc tundra]

my trial is through steam, was yours?

[keen fable]

i had a steam account that had no subscription and i added one through mogstation

[zinc tundra]

hm

[remote lintel]

@rain pendant the mobility on black mage depends on how good you are with your movement skills and predicting boss attacks, red mage is probably the most mobile out of all of them due to their dual cast skill which lets them cast a 2nd spell instantly (and thus they can move), not too sure about summoner as i haven't played

[rain pendant]

Aight ill prolly look into black mage then^^

[twilit arch]

smn is honestly the more mobile of them

[rain pendant]

Ty

[twilit arch]

red mage still has to cast every other ability

[jade quartz]

They all have limited mobility. Black mage has long been famed for its immobility and "turret" caster style, but nowadays at level cap you have several mobility options. Just takes the experience to use them effectively.

[remote lintel]

^

also red mage has backflips

[keen fable]

so does bard pog

[remote lintel]

what skill?

[keen fable]

i cant remember i just saw it in a video

[remote lintel]

🤔

[twilit arch]

repelling shot

[keen fable]

person said "do not use this, its not good"

[jade quartz]

Red mage gets to instant-cast every second spell. SMN has instant-cast options at certain points of its rotation, and also some extra ones which lower dps

Black mage is the most mobile, but the least often. Red mage is the least mobile, but the most often. SMN is in the middle.

[remote lintel]

@rain pendant if you want to see them in action i suggest watching Desperius's "power level test" videos on the classes

they're pretty recent

[rain pendant]

great thank you

[zinc tundra]

hey so I think I'll have to cancel my whole account and just reregister to activate (I'm going to have to start over anyways so it's whatever really). but before I do that, my purchase on the SE store shouldn't be affected if I do that correct

[twilit arch]

nope

you should be a ok to make a new account without having to worry about your se store purchase

[zinc tundra]

okay great

thank you for your help

If you decide afterwards that you would like to use a service again, you will need register a new account, but you cannot use the same e-mail address or Square Enix ID.

haha

[obsidian patio]

When virtual mouse is on the cursor is always there, turn it off when you don’t need it.

[earnest sierra]

I toggle it on or off with the 2 buttons yes however either way it is always still there moving around whenever i move the left analog stick

[obsidian patio]

it shouldn’t be doing that. And I don’t see a controller setting that would make it do that.

Maybe report it in the Support Desk as a bug?

[earnest sierra]

It did work once and then i changed window and it starts again

[open coral]

@earnest sierra Do you have the “use touch pad as mouse” box ticked?

[earnest sierra]

I've restarted the client and that seems to of fixed it.. hopefully it stays this way as that thing was ruining it for me lol,

Nono this is on an xbox controller, but as i say all seems to be well now. I'll hold on and see if it changes

And its happening again..

[remote lintel]

why do you need it on

[earnest sierra]

If i have it turned off the mouse is still there, anything i do it wont dissapear or stop moving

[remote lintel]

even if you uncheck the box?

[earnest sierra]

Yes

[remote lintel]

[earnest sierra]

And when i target something With 'A'like an Npc you normally double press and you start communicating however that wont work because my mouse is on the screen, i then have to go to my mouse and right click to start the conversation as nothing on the controller will work

[dry tree]

how high does spell speed have to be to start feeling a difference?

[open coral]

Humor me and see if that check box I mentioned is present in your settings @earnest sierra

I know you’re on an Xbox controller, but I don’t know if that would actually change the menu options

your game crashes

those are two very different problems

[midnight frigate]

im guessing? but its random dungeons

[crimson wind]

Do i have to do A Realm Awoken to get to HW?

[keen fable]

which dungeons does it happen in

[proud willow]

It's important to say exactly what's going wrong. If the client closes, that's not the same thing as a disconnection

[midnight frigate]

it happened when i was trying to get the extreme trials for stormblood

[faint flare]

No

[twilit arch]

@leaden ginkgo for the NA sale

[midnight frigate]

my bad but either way how do i fix this?

[keen fable]

does it happen everytime you go into extreme trials

or when you're trying to get them*

[midnight frigate]

its random, it happened one time in a dungeon durring a quest and now its happening on this dungeon for my MSQ

[keen fable]

everytime you enter the dungeon for the msq?

[leaden ginkgo]

Okay at least the square enix store does it until the end of the day

[midnight frigate]

no

just this one

[keen fable]

so everytime you enter this dungeon, it happens

[midnight frigate]

and one that was a quest line for stormblood that was extreme but i couldnt finish it

[leaden ginkgo]

The 8 am on ps4 ending is whack af

[midnight frigate]

yes

2 dungeons it will do it without fail

[leaden ginkgo]

@twilit arch ty

[slate arrow]

If you constantly crash in one dungeon, even after a restart, it sounds like you have corrupted files

[wide niche]

Is this a good place to ask about trading items?

[keen fable]

okay so that's probably why support hasnt been help, you've been telling them you've been disconnecting. while i don't know of a specific fix, you could try uninstalling and reinstalling

[midnight frigate]

i did that 45 mins ago

but it didnt help

[keen fable]

then, barring any other ideas these other lads have, i would contact support again

and tell them that you are crashing at the beginning of two SPECIFIC dungeons

don't tell them you're disconnecting, tell them your game is crashing

[midnight frigate]

i would but everytime i try to make it a ticket it says an error occurred during the verification process

[slate arrow]

Technology is a fickle thing

[proud willow]

what?

[keen fable]

just use an already existing ticket, i assume you can just reply to a ticket, why make a new one?

[slate arrow]

Try on your phone or a different computer

[midnight frigate]

oh i guess that is true

youve been really helpful thank you

[keen fable]

of course. when you contact helpdesks in the future, make sure you describe exactly what's going on. thats why they havent been helpful, because you didn't explain it right

[nova umbra]

what level of ixal friendliness do I need to buy materia?

[jagged crow]

what bonuses are needed for doth

like gathering etc

[proud willow]

DoH uses Craftsmanship, Control, and CP

DoL uses Gathering, Perception, and GP

[jagged crow]

okay ty

[little swift]

@nova umbra Respected

[flat summit]

Btw I skipped the story so that might be the reason I dont understand this but

How tf we can breathe underwater?

[little swift]

story bit

[remote lintel]

blessing from a god

[little swift]

you missed it

[flat summit]

Poseidon?

[twilit arch]

you're given a blessing from the kojin

[remote lintel]

lmao no

[faint flare]

Turtle guy blessed us

[flat summit]

ohh

[little swift]

kojin blessing in sstormblood

[keen fable]

poseidon

[flat summit]

Final fantasy poseidon

[little swift]

no

[remote lintel]

no

[little swift]

turtle peoples

[remote lintel]

it's an Asian god

[keen fable]

greek gods in 2020

[flat summit]

Ok I see

Did we bless them too?

[remote lintel]

does transpose give mp?

[flat summit]

With ability to breathe on land?

[remote lintel]

no

[flat summit]

oh dang

So we just straight up stole their blessing

[faint flare]

Transpose doesn't give mp directly

[little swift]

they breathe just fine on land

[flat summit]

gave nothing back?

[twilit arch]

transpose just switches you to the opposite stance

[little swift]

we didn't steal it either

[twilit arch]

i,e if youre in astral fire, it will switch you to umbral ice

[remote lintel]

why does the blm 61-70 for aoe say do flare twice then transpose?

I won't have mp?

[twilit arch]

Because flare uses all your mp

[faint flare]

Because it puts you in Ice

[nova umbra]

is there any vendor that gives materia besides the 1/2/3 from the ixal vendor?

[faint flare]

Which regens you

[remote lintel]

oh ok

[twilit arch]

so it will put you in ice to regen mana

[little swift]

transpose doesn't cost anything

[proud willow]

Flare does not take all of your MP if you have an Umbral Heart

[twilit arch]

the second flare will

[faint flare]

After 68

But yeah

2nd flare will

[twilit arch]

thats why you transpose after 2nd flare

[cold crescent]

quick question about glamour plates

the game told me that itll only be seen in towns but im in the middle of south shroud and my character still has the cloud strife gear being shown

how exactly does it work?

[twilit arch]

no you can only apply plates in towns

[faint flare]

You can only APPLY

In towns

Glamour is seen anywhere

[twilit arch]

so if you try to apply the plate while out in the field, it won't allow you

[cold crescent]

so it just stays on everywhere i go until i change it?

[faint flare]

Yes

Or remove gear

[cold crescent]

so why would i cast glamor instead of using these plates? just curious

[faint flare]

Because you might want to change 1 thing

[twilit arch]

manually casting can be done anywhere

[cold crescent]

since the plates are equipped all at once without costing prisms

oh

[faint flare]

And that

[cold crescent]

just for the sake of being inconvenient lol

ty square enix

[proud willow]

Prisms used to be your only option

Plates were added later

[cold crescent]

got it

ty fellas

[nova umbra]

how often do you use the paladin heal Clemency?

[junior yacht]

usually it's for emergencies

[slate arrow]

ideally, never.

[restive willow]

hey uh... what stats do i want on a healer?

[nova umbra]

so you don't try to use it for divine veil, and just rely on the healers?

[restive willow]

piety and determination?

[junior yacht]

the stats provided by healer gear

[proud willow]

Up until the level cap, you want to just go by item level (and Wisdom, which will always be higher in high ilvl gear)

[slate arrow]

As long as you have comfy piety for MP Regen you can do practically whatever

[restive willow]

okay im asking not cuz of gear but food

i thought i'd grab some bonus stats while keeping up the exp buff lol

[faint flare]

Namely crit

[keen fable]

i started a new character today, and am reading the story, i will say, even though i'm only level 15, it's more enjoyable when paying attention to the story

i'm the coolest envoy in the room 😎

[faint flare]

The story is pretty good, even if its abit slow at points

[proud willow]

for extra enjoyment, talk to nearby NPCs

[keen fable]

it's making leveling a lot better. even if its not a super arc, it's coolio

[proud willow]

there is often dialogue that goes away forever once you progress the quest

[restive willow]

yeah i like some of the plot points or some of the duties that are like having you sneak and stuff

[faint flare]

Yeah. Some side NpCs near the turn in for the quest have some nice stuff

[restive willow]

they're not extravagant but they get the idea across and its nice

[leaden ginkgo]

I was enjoying the story until last night it wanted me to watch 3 cutscenes and i knew i was getting close to my own Chocobo and skipped them but i watched and read everything so far before that lol

[keen fable]

i think it's doing a good job of breaking up the monotony of the combat early on, especially because i'm only spamming ruin lol

i want to heal really bad but the story is distracting me from it

do arcanist and summoner just switch job stones since they can't switch weapons?

[restive willow]

i just get tired of the ''we're friends and the power of friendship always wins'' kinda narrative lmao, but its pretty decent for being an MMO narrative

and especially one that's so long

@marble torrent you can switch weps later on, SCH and SMN get their own cuz they use different stats

im a SCH right now and theres SCH-exclusive weps

[slate arrow]

2.0 was made in about two years, give or take a few months

[keen fable]

oh ok

[flat summit]

Hey guys

[restive willow]

get ready to spam ruin 2 if you wanna heal btw

[flat summit]

How many more maps are there after Tempest?

[faint flare]

Thats it

[junior yacht]

that's the last one

[keen fable]

i'm a good scholar i dont heal i just shield at the perfect time

[flat summit]

oh wtf

[faint flare]

Tempest is the final zone

[restive willow]

haha

its my first time healing and its so fun to me

[flat summit]

My partner said its awesome that I will love it and should check out

But its so empty

[faint flare]

Oh it

[flat summit]

Anything cool somewhere in map?

[slate arrow]

keep doing the MSQ

[faint flare]

Gets filled

With something

[flat summit]

Oh ok

haha alright then

[remote lintel]

tempest kinda boring honestly

[opaque pewter]

Where do I download the game? Fresh new rig so I gotta redownload it.

[remote lintel]

where did you buy it?

[keen fable]

either steam or the square enix website/finalfantasyxiv.com

whichever place you bought it from

[opaque pewter]

I had a physical copy.

had

[faint flare]

Then SE should work

[keen fable]

then finalfantasyxiv.com

should take you to a place to download it

[flat summit]

Btw after tempest gets filled with something, is it still underwater though?

[faint flare]

Yes

[flat summit]

ah ok
