So I'm confused. I am doing a level 10 quest called 'Too close to home' where Anoles are getting too close to Chocobos and I must kill them.
But the green area on the map where they should be, well they're not there.
It's a levequest too if that helps
blissful matrix
you must select the 'initiate'

Click that Initiate button in the journal

anyone got a idea on how to successfully get the touch pad working?
i tried alot!
wintry chasm
π€
It should just work
What are you exactly trying to do?
use it as a mouse or tap to quick select HUD?
frigid pelican
tap to selet hud:(
open coral
Touch pad on PS4 controller?
frigid pelican
ye
open coral
There should be a setting for that in the Controller settings.
frigid pelican
i have to use my share button instead, which is annoying
i have been trying stuff for 6 hrs
i been over these basic settings
wintry chasm
Oh are you trying to do this on PC?
open coral
OH

Messing with the steam overlay can probably allow you to use the touchpad for a few things
wintry chasm
^ probably
frigid pelican
been there, done that
slate arrow
but on PC by default share becomes select
slate arrow
did you enable PS4 support
frigid pelican
yes but even there it doesn't recognize my controller
it's frustrating
i tried ds4 windows too
slate arrow
Is it a version one or version two
slate arrow
Version two has the light bar glow through the touchpad
slate arrow
hm
frigid pelican
got the light bar glow

I'm afraid I can't help much then because FFXIV is wack

leaden ginkgo
"u cannot carry any more poetics"
how do I know
how much I have
and how can I increase the limit
raw solstice
you cannot increase the limit
you're capped at a total capacity of 2k
you can see it in the currency tab (default keybind on PC is control + c)
twilit arch
can also click on the gil icon to bring it up

I can undo glamour without destroying the glamour item, right?
mint shale
Anyone knows if you can actually use the DoH specific housing furnitures to craft?
is there animation for them?
yes @keen fable

where can I spend poetics
nvm I think I found it

open coral
!faq poetics
zinc orbitBOT
open coral
That should have all of the poetics vendor locations.
Auriana in Mor Dhona is your level 50 vendor. There are also corresponding vendors for level 60 and 70.

how do i get soot black dye? i went to the ixali vendor and hes not letting me purchase anything

when a DOT is like this (40 dmg and 60 seconds) does that mean 40dmg per second or 40dmg divided into 60 ticks?

yea thats the sam dot for you
hoary storm
always use kaiten btw
wintry chasm
not to mention it can get buffed by kaiten

and if it gets boosted with that other spell it's like 1200 dot
hoary storm
to make it 1200
wintry chasm
to store pieces of gear for glamour purposes and make outfits you can link to gearsets
keen fable
ok so if i stick it in there i wont lose it
wintry chasm
so when you swap to a gearset it'll automatically apply glamour to all the pieces
Correct Dark
keen fable
it's giving me a big ass warning
keen fable
gotcha. so i've put it in, can i assign it to all gear sets?
leaden ginkgo
oh I c, if I buy encrypted tomestone, it's like stacking poetics
encrypted tomestone is used for high lvl gear as well?
keen fable
and is there a way for the glamour to persist through gear changes
mint shale
glamour plate
tie the plate to your class
so each time you switch to SAM, for eg, it will apply the plate too (only in cities)
keen fable
i made the glamour plate, and i can access it through the menu
how do i put it on the class?
mint shale
go to your list of gears, right click and you should see a "link glam plate" or something
wintry chasm
just go to your gearset for that class and then link to glamour plate
keen fable
so i just have to apply it manually at that point
mint shale
you cant apply at all since plates cant be applied outside of the major cities

Can someone tell me again where i can earn Yellow Scrips. I did it once, but i forgot where it was...
unreal python
Quick question: in the trust system menu, right above the party selection area it shows an amount of exp. Thats the amount if exp the avatars get, right? Not your character?
supple plinth
is cross server play on the Light branch possible?
zinc orbitBOT
twilit arch
yeah thats how much the avatars get @unreal python
dusky nest
is cross server play on the Light branch possible?
@supple plinth you queue with people from the entire datacenter and you can visit other servers of the same datacenter
unreal python
Ty!
supple plinth
Thanks Rob, started out this week and i'm in doubt between settling on a preffered server or one with 1friend on. so it would be safe to assume i could play on the preffered server and still have acces to my friends server ?
twilit arch
yes

just keep in mind you cant, for example, join an FC that is located on a different server than yours
but you can totally play together
supple plinth

leaden ginkgo
if I buy encrypted tomestone, it's like stacking poetics?
encrypted tomestone is used for high lvl gear as well? 70, 80
?
raw solstice
nope
encrypted tomestone is solely used for ironworks weapon at level 50
at each level cap they have a new tomestone vendor with new gear, and a new "tomestone" to use for a weapon
dry tree
what's GP and Perception for again?
twilit arch
GP is basically MP for gatherers
and perception increases your chances of gathering high quality items
leaden ginkgo
can I equip two of the same rings
dry tree
ahh ok thank you
twilit arch
so long as they don't have the "Unique" tag, yes
twilit arch
thats why you augment one so you can have two
leaden ginkgo
?
twilit arch
buy a carboncoat from auriana and then talk to drake in hyrstmill in northshroud
raw solstice
^ that'll change the "ironworks ring of X" into "augmented ironworks ring of X" and upgrade the ilvl from 120 to 130
and since non-augmented vs augmented are two different pieces, you can buy a new unaugmented one, and use both
leaden ginkgo
hm
kinda a waste of poetics tho
my weapon is really low ilvl
do they not sell weapons
raw solstice
they sure do, just a bit more roundabout of a method
you have to purchase 10 rowena's tokens (poetics) and the encrypted tomestone, then exchange those with the other vendor there for a weapon
leaden ginkgo
what is antique armor for
rough jolt
Are Yellow Scrips the only way to get all recipes for Blacksmith?
raw solstice
can exchange those antique armor things for i90 gear elsewhere (it's somewhere in the building, I forget exactly where). But it's just left side stuff, and you should already have i90 for those slots from doing the job quests for that given job
it's just an alternate way to get those pieces if you end up losing or don't have them
twilit arch
its in mor dhona
open coral
First off, it's not a "waste" of poetics because it's improving your overall stats if you augment your poetics gear. Second, you can earn poetics from so many places. You can literally get around 900 poetics per day just by doing roulettes.
leaden ginkgo
or another class gear 
twilit arch
in the room to right when you walk into the big building
open coral
True
It's only 500 poetics for a new ring though
Er, weapon rather
And 100 to augment
finite ferry
how many levels do poetic equips last in 60/70
open coral
If you augment them, they're as good or better than anything you get until the X5 dungeon (55/65/75).
whole wasp
yea, unaugmented to 63/73. augmented to 65/75
leaden ginkgo
where do I start if I want to advance my rank in my GC?
open coral
Speak to the Quartermaster (second NPC from the right) at your GC headquarters and Request a Promotion.
clever cave
Gc hunting log
open coral
It will require some amount of GC seals, and at certain ranks will also require that you have completed a GC hunt log rank or a quest as well.
leaden ginkgo
um, which tab would that promotion thing be in?
open coral
When you talk to the Quartermaster he has a menu. It's the second option on the menu under the Supply and Provisioning missions.

Weird how?

should I save lvl 50 ilvl120 armor for future lvling of jobs
raw solstice
if you plan on leveling them eventually, absolutely worthwhile
leaden ginkgo
I'm guessing there's a requirement for the "Elite Hunt" GC stuff?
all it says is blah blah blah you're not qualified
raw solstice
@leaden ginkgo you wouldn't happen to have ACT running since that earlier time, would you? Also for dummies you have to click "include overkill" at the top right of the graph since once you "kill" them once it stops looking at the damage you deal
clever cave
@leaden ginkgo elite hunt you need to unlock through a simple questline starting at lvl 50

stable hinge
I deliver a high quality item with materia and she says its bad and i dont know how the animal died etc. when i killed it myself
leaden ginkgo
@sage socket , maybe you logged it in thru the client before but didn't pushed the PLAY button, then you decided to log in again? because that's what happened on my friends account. He logged in just on the client but got lazy, so he decided to wait, then the free comeback event got off and was consumed because of that
stable hinge
Fair point
raw solstice
what message is it giving you when you try to log in?
leaden ginkgo
what's the last expansion you had?
sage socket
stormblood
raw solstice
"service account not registered" is a bit of a more concerning thing. When you stopped playing previously, you didn't cancel your account or anything, right?
sage socket
I don't think so. It's listed as inactive on mogstation.
slate arrow
Then you need to subscribe in order to start playing again
raw solstice
they're trying to take advantage of the free login campaign
sage socket
I reset my password, so those both check out
leaden ginkgo
Maybe you can try to contact SE support for this, this is very much a trial and error at this point
and Rika is right, that error message is very concerning
clever cave
But yea i would just send support ticket, they reply fast
leaden ginkgo
considering you had stormblood
sage socket
yeah I figured it was a long shot but thanks for trying. I tried support but they seem to not be taking tickets right now.
slate arrow
It's highly likely you cancelled your service account.
sage socket
oof. that was it. thank you
leaden ginkgo
What do you mean that was it?
sage socket
I had to reactivate my service account, I must have canceled it when I unsubbed.
spring swift
Where do i get the ring that gives 30% more exp to classes 30 and below

I thought 'reactivate service account' meant resubscribe

Only fight that was annoying is Ramuh. I couldnt ignore the mechanic of the electric balls things forever. So i'd have to take a break, pick a few of them up and resume]

clever cave
Indeed ramuh is a bit troublesome
spring lava
I remember leviathan was a bit of a headache back then
keen lantern
its admittedly slower cuz you have to kills the adds during those phases
where for most other extreme primals you can like... ignore all the mechanics
twilit arch
Only annoying part of levi now is having to wait for mechanics to go off since they made changes to the primals where they invul at certain phases
gaunt brook
yeah id suggest doing it solo mostly since then you dont have to worry about rolls being bad
twilit arch
so you can't completely mess yourself over if you push to much
keen lantern
Solo is def the way to go if you want kirin
1/5 is allot better than 1/5 * 1/4
as a bonus you could get the nightmare mount in addition to the other horses. It's not necessary for kirin, but I got it along the way anyways.
gaunt brook
its good if youre mount collecting
lime sphinx
so how do we go about solo-ing extreme trials for mounts ?
gotta get the the actual entrance, disable sync , undersized party?

You don't need to go to the entrance

how leveling roulette queue works?

It is strongly recommended that you be at least level 70 for the 50 trials.

I'm in queue of billions of dps players fighting over their healers and tanks?

you can do it as te bard easily

I agree. It gives a much better idea of where you're at in terms of the queue.

you'll also want to do those maps with a group since they have a chance a spawning portals to treasure dungeon

Is it still true that retainers can only be leveled up to where you are in that class?
lime sphinx
end game content is basically just go back to farm old mounts/transmogs if you dont like raiding every tuesday

Hello, during some MSQ duty, I was playing with another character in ShB, in the skill bar there were like 3 skills on 1 slot and the combo chain was triggered after each press, is that possible in general ?
gaunt brook
Sadly not as far as i know
open coral
It is, but the way to do it is with a macro, and that method is not really recommended.
The only other place where something like that occurs is in the PvP zone, and that's a special system mechanic which cannot be duplicated anywhere else in the game.
open coral
It's not recommended for a couple of reasons. First, macros are prone to messing up when you put more than a single action command into them.
zinc orbitBOT
open coral
Second, due to the way macros are structured, you have to put a /wait between each skill in full seconds, while the gcd is measured out to two decimal places, so it's quicker to press the skills manually than it is to put them sequentially into a macro.
leaden ginkgo
mounts can have emotes?
open coral
Some mounts have special actions attached to them, yes.

jade quartz
It's a unique multi-floor dungeon which is a good leveling option if you're playing a DPS class and have long queue times for regular dungeons.
It's rather boring and grindy though in my opinion

Boring in a game is bad, imo. Games are meant to be fun.

But for CNJ/WHM that's irrelevant.

I'll give PotD/HoH that they're a good way to see what your higher level skills will do long before you actually get them.
Since the leveling in there is accelerated.

I find HoH more tolerable
the addition of magicite

oh derp, my numbers are a bit off for aery
4600~ give or take but either way, decent numbers
but if you still need phanta/allegory i would personally do the lv80 dungeons instead
solemn delta
Yeah considering I'll do in 5 minutes on my SAM lol
twilit arch
soloing the aery would assure all loot to you, but 80 dungeons are going to turn in for a lot more
solemn delta
Hmm I could use phanta for my DRG
But i won't get 80 until next reset so with E5-8 and neo gear doubt I'll need it

What is this number at the character gear screen?

@spring swift your average item level
Below 50, you should try to keep it as close to your level as you can

@nova umbra where is that from?

@jovial oxide by socialising
Really I'd say join FCs and look around but you can't do that on the free trial
leaden ginkgo
Oh. I must not have reached the location it's at yet.
faint flare
Its in Idyllshire
leaden ginkgo
Oh yeah. I'm still doing the sohm al dungeon quest
clever cave
Free trial is pretty limited to leveling on your own to feel out the game, there is not much interaction outside of duty finder (queued instances) @jovial oxide
Of course you can ask questions to people you see running around tho

Is there a way to increase hq percentage on gathering nodes?

Higher perception + use of skills (requires a good bit of gp)
leaden ginkgo
Does thsi mean the server is currently in a queue and I can't transfer until there is no queue?
faint flare
It means you prob have a character their already and are on entry
leaden ginkgo
no i'm on standard
faint flare
How many characters on that world
leaden ginkgo
1

Queues shouldnt really affect transfer

Nope, why would you want to do that?

Yes?

I could do that, I guess.

Is there not Fashion week report on reddit for this week?
gilded delta
well i'm enjoying the game a lot but i was wondering if any of you had tips for how to tank better?
leaden ginkgo
I think they're waiting for evaluation
clever cave
Takes a few days for fashion report of the week
wintry chasm
keep tank stance on, aoe mobs a couple times to ensure aggro, you can pull more than one group of mobs but do just be careful
also yeah don't pop all your defensive cooldowns at once
you kinda want to rotate them around
leaden ginkgo
Fashion report just posted on discord

is it possible to transfer to a world where my charackter name is already taken and if yes will the game give me the ability to rename or will it simple deny the transfer?
wintry chasm
You can and it'll demand you change your name
Naturally it'll let you do that name change for free
leaden ginkgo
ah I see sweet thank you

which job leveled at the same time summoner did again?

all expansion jobs start higher than1
faint flare
Heavensward start at 30, stormblood at 50 and Shadowbringers jobs start at 60

Note that while Heavensward jobs start at 30 you need to reach Heavensward story first so you can't actually unlock it at level 30

@pine onyx It'll be based on total amount logged in at once so theoretically yes you could wait and get in. If you dont want to wait you could try Kujata too. Both of those are unofficial english servers
lilac fox
And I can't refund xD
pine onyx
I'll stick till 2 a.m., no luck and I'll probably give up and go on Kujata lol
alpine shadow
there was a free trial in this game
spring swift
Guys, on tanking jobs, are there specific abilities giving more aggro or is the only thing deciding how much extra ''threat%'' abilities/skills have the tank stance
wintry chasm
Well you have your tank stance that gives a bunch a bunch of extra aggro to all your skills
but generally aggro is based on damage
but I'm not 100% sure on the math of it all
leaden ginkgo
How do we earn yellow scripts? I unlocked the collectable quest but I still don't know how it works. I think that's the right quest for yellow scripts unlock.
strange coral
There are some tanks actions that generate a bit more aggro. They usually say "increased enmity" in their descriptions. I know GNB and PLD have ranged attacks that do. Others probably have an equivalent. But generally just having tank stance on and doing damage is more than enough.
sturdy mason
On E7S, right before enrage sometimes the boss does 2 aoes or 3, I've even seen the 3rd AOE get interrupted and it immediately starts casting the enrage spell. Can anyone explain this behavior? I'm not sure what controls how many AOEs the boss casts before enrage
wintry chasm
You can go to Mor Dhona and look at the collectable appraiser and see what items you can trade for that day and for how much XP/scrips and then you can make the item
boom done
You can also check the item list in the menu under timers
faint flare
@sturdy mason that is intended
wintry chasm
Just a hard timer on when the enrage goes off
faint flare
Its due to push timing with adds
wintry chasm
^
faint flare
The boss is set to do enrage at a specific time
sturdy mason
I don't get it, what do you mean push timing with adds?
faint flare
If you kill then quicker
wintry chasm
Right so let's say the boss is set to always do the enrage at the 18 minute mark
wintry chasm
^ does mechanics quicker
sturdy mason
So enrage is set to an absolute time?
faint flare
Before the hard timer for enrage hits
Yes
Its a byproduct of them fixing fast and slow instances
sturdy mason
Ok that's interesting, unlike E6S/E5S where it's scripted in a certain order?
wintry chasm
and it's just it casting the aoe and then the enrage timer happens and it's like "oh never mind enrage now"
faint flare
Enrages are a absolute time and mechanics can be interupted for it
sturdy mason
It doesn't seem that way with E5S for example, it feels scripted
Like it's supposed to happen at a certain point after certain casts
wintry chasm
^
sturdy mason
I never have seen Ramuh interrupt a spell to cast enrage
wintry chasm
The other fights don't have phases dependant on the players
faint flare
Because you kill him faster than enrage
wintry chasm
so they can't be slower or faster
faint flare
Adds are the variable factor
sturdy mason
Ah ok
faint flare
Kill the adds faster, boss does more mechs
Kill them slower. It does less
If other fights had variable adds, we would see the same thing
spring swift
this is beeing asked if i try and want to be a gladiator, is this actually another word for i want to learn the paladin job on the side too? (or gladiator, the one before it)

or is this of any importance besides i want to learn to have a gladiator class on the side i can swap between

Gladiator is the base class of paladin

spring swift
Thx a lot for the help lately here guys, appreciate it a lot.. really new. Hope i'm not bothering too much
faint flare
You can swap freely out of combat
leaden ginkgo
The only thing that determines your class is the weapon or tool you're currently using
spring swift
as i'm further in that then lvl 10
spring swift
isn't that lvl 30 o.O?
jade quartz
You should return to your class guild every five levels to do your class quests.
jade quartz
You receive a popup message on the screen and in the chatbox when they become available
leaden ginkgo
Lvl up your archer to 10 first
spring swift
it's lvl 20
leaden ginkgo
Then you can switch classes
faint flare
Its the quests from your guild
jade quartz
Then you're behind on class quests.
faint flare
You SHOULD be doing them as they give skills
wintry chasm
and armour
faint flare
At points
wintry chasm
and goodies
jade quartz
These are not optional as they unlock skills.
wintry chasm
You're sort of screwing yourself by not doing them
jade quartz
And ultimately are required for MSQ progression by the time you're at level cap
faint flare
Your current class quest is shown on your main scenario tracker
spring swift
are those the quests with the dark blue indicator?
faint flare
Yes
wintry chasm
They can be that yes
jade quartz
You should consider them mandatory.
spring swift
OOOOH then i've seen it but ignored it
faint flare
Your current class quest is shown on your main scenario tracker
wintry chasm
Not all are class quests but all class quests are
spring swift
thought it was something else
faint flare
Or very very high priority
wintry chasm
You should generally do all the you see that don't unlock other classes and leves (unless you want to unlock those)
jade quartz
In fairness, the game really does give you a lot of prompting to do them, using language that tries to impress upon you how important they are.
leaden ginkgo
High priority. You can lvl up without them but your skills will be limited
wintry chasm
Since are quests that unlock things, those things being really important half the time
faint flare
Basically shotting yourself in the foot
jade quartz
As I said, you should consider class quests mandatory for all intents and purposes.
wintry chasm
You're not giving it enough credit by saying you can level without them
leaden ginkgo
Fair enough
wintry chasm
You....really need them to level
or else you'll get yelled at by literally every single player you'll meet ever
and you'll struggle in content

Oh thanks!
gloomy ice
@crimson wind All four sets of artifact armor have different means of upgrading them to become dyeable. AF1 requires varying amounts of Augmentation items that are crafted. AF2 requires an upgrade material like poetics gear. AF3 requires leveling up in Eureka. AF4 are technically separate drops from the current Extreme.
strange coral
iirc, you can buy the upgrade mats in Mor Dhona for poetics. Kakalan does the upgrades
crimson wind
Kage is AF2?

The level 50 armor needs a crafted item
You can craft them yourself or buy them from the market board

You don't get penalized for disconnecting mid-duty though. That counts you as still being "in" the instance until or unless you're vote kicked.

you're only penalized if you are the first person to leave the duty
disconnecting means you can still reconnecting

As for seeing how many you have, I'm not so sure. Not finding any documentation about it. If you're locked out, the duty window will tell you immediately at least.
