With Ramuh Extreme at Gridania
rough jolt
Is there a trade channel or seperate discord ?
@vagrant copper I lost it so hard when i heard how they pronounce "urianger" the first time HAHAHA
remote lintel
why
obsidian patio
Most people just use the marketboard or in-game party finder for trading
rough jolt
I want the Shark Warrior Pet. I cant find it on Market ^^
remote lintel
elezen have french names
obsidian patio
If you mean the Major-General it’s untradeable
rough jolt
@remote lintel I didnt know that
stuck oracle
it's just french

And comes from an achievement

can i sort shop items a to z ? or something
rough jolt
And can trade it?
midnight slate
I did it I made it to SHADOWBRINGERS
remote lintel
you get it from your achievements
ashen sorrel
Any way to see how the mog station stuff looks on my character?
obsidian patio
Achievement items can’t be traded.
twilit arch
you can try shouting in a major city if anyone has the gear, but outside of that no there's no way to try mogstation stuff on in-game @ashen sorrel
karmic minnow
So someone sent me a google doc about dragoon, and the how-to's etc. Does that exist for other classes as well? Mainly MNK and RDM?
blissful matrix
a lot of youtubers showcase mog-station items on different race/genders
buoyant monolith
So I can get a war axe by leveling from gladiators to paladin then what’s next after paladi?
blissful matrix
give that a search too if you want more looks
remote lintel
@buoyant monolith no, they don't use axes
warriors use axes
there's nothing after paladin
buoyant monolith
How do I get warriors?
twilit arch
yes, there are job guides to most jobs. just use the command !faq jobguide. I.e !faq mnkguide in #kupo-bot-spam or use !faq to browse thru the faqs until you find the one you're looking for @karmic minnow
remote lintel
Marauder's guild in limsa
obsidian patio
@karmic minnow yeah there’s a guide for each job but WHM. Just use the faq command in #kupo-bot-spam

Level 30 marauder and all class quests finished

you'll have to level it from lvl 1 @buoyant monolith

you have to gather it as a collectable

shell arch
that was my first time
twilit arch
and if you're wiping to that boss, it means your group needs to be better at dodging
shell arch
yeah, well we've got her to half hp
I think we were slightly slow to react to her stuff
twilit arch
the more you get hit by her aoes that you can avoid, the more runes light up
shell arch
ohhh
twilit arch
which means her unavoidable aoes are going to hurt a lot
quasi spire
just hit level 47, and for the first time i don't have quests to do
how should i level?
remote lintel
dungeons
quasi spire
duty roulette? or levequests
remote lintel
roulette
quasi spire

remote lintel
and dungeons
shell arch
@remote lintel primary roulette exp source is once per day only?
remote lintel
yep
shell arch
more than 1 time no point?
remote lintel
exactly
pliant cosmos
I have 150mbps DL speed, so why the fuck does the game keep lagging out? Any site to see if the servers are under high load?
shell arch
just do highest lvl dungeon you can?
remote lintel
yes
vagrant copper
It's not no point but there are more efficient methods
shell arch
what about dungeons vs potd for leveling?
quasi spire
when is reset btw
shell arch
my friend taught me of potd
zinc orbitBOT
Tick, Tock, Kupo!
pliant cosmos
whats node failure?
remote lintel
I think potd is better if you're dps
sinful breach
potd is faster under lvl 50
shell arch
yeah after 50 you go raid or smth I've been told
remote lintel
not raid
verbal obsidian
What's the command for the BLM leveling rotation?

Okok ty
shell arch
wood wailer expeditionary captain - npc talk to him
native ingot
So until then POTD and then HOH
slate arrow
Oh, and you also need to have done floor 50 in palace of the Dead
native ingot
Also does the multiplyer from the level disparity between your highest class and the equipped class apply on PoTD and HOH too
nova umbra
uh if I interact with a unspoiled node and haven't done anything yet, can I leave the menu and go back to it?
I forgot to use a cordial >.<
stable hinge
I cant find limit break in actions
vagrant copper
Limit Break is in General
nova umbra
buoyant monolith
I like these purple gem earrings it’s nice
stable hinge
Ty
slate arrow
@native ingot PoTD and HOH have their own leveling systems so you'll be able to go up to level 60 in potd and 70 in hoh
and starting at 51 and 21 respectively automatically puts you at the level cap
native ingot
Yeah but
obsidian patio
@nova umbra exiting an unspoiled node makes it go poof
slate arrow
oh yes the armory bonus applies to exp gained from deep dungeons as well
obsidian patio
Even if all you did was open the menu for it
slate arrow
(outside of the deep dungeon exp)
native ingot
The exp is it multiplyed like normally from the bonus if the equipped class is a smaller level
Uuuuhhh is that a yes?
slate arrow
yes
shrewd hollow
Any suggestions for me before I have to just do a full re-install? Was working fine last night... Tried re-installing video card drivers and changing game graphic settings :/
slate arrow
@shrewd hollow it's just FFXIV being FFXIV
blissful matrix
I had that issue, unfortunately the only thing that fixed it for me was deleting the ffxiv folder in /user/mydocuments
slate arrow
all you can do is keep at it until it stops or wait for tomorrow
blissful matrix
but
keen fable
are there practice dummies in limsa?
slate arrow
FFXIV DX11 support is finicky. If the wind blows the barest wrong direction it'll crash sometimes
@keen fable summerford farms
blissful matrix
deleted only the ffxiv_boot.cfg first
before the whole folder
try that
back them up too if that doesnt fxi it for you
so you can restore
shrewd hollow
yeah I did a backup in preparation... just hoping to find a miraculous fix lol
stable hinge
just finished bowl of embers but apparently it didnt count towards my MSQ
clever cave

can someone remind me is there somekind of compact mode for limit break bar
I think I saw something but can't find it now
buoyant monolith
Is there Tarot cards in this game if I may ask?
blissful matrix
I think you can just change the transparency and size of the LB gauge
buoyant monolith
Ah, how do optain them?
shell arch
weird, I felt there is somekind of switch for it
faint flare
Just get astro
ashen sorrel
If I use the glamour system to change the appearance of one item... will the other item dissapear?
faint flare
They start with their card gimmick
No
Glamour is never consumed
It can be reused multiple times
ashen sorrel
oke thanks
keen fable
If i'm only at one mudra charge on ten how am i bunny casting
vagrant copper
It consumes a glamour crystal, not the item
obsidian patio
You either used the same mudra twice or used a GCD that wasn’t a mudra or the ninjutsu while using mudras
clever cave
o
keen fable
i can use another ten even if i ran out of charges?
clever cave
wrong combo mudra
slate arrow
you can cast as many mudra in a 6 second period you want
charges are only consumed upon letting ninjitsu expire or you press the ninjitsu button
buoyant monolith
Does the character has the ability to see people’s memory’s or see into the future?
slate arrow
yes, no
keen fable
oh, so its a global mudra charge, not a per-mudra charge
obsidian patio
Exact abilities of the Echo vary from person to person
buoyant monolith
Ok interesting a memory seeing ability
obsidian patio
Ours also acts as a universal translator
blissful matrix
also keeps you from being tempered by primals

achievement
namely, you need to exchange some achievement points
it's not tied to any specific achievement

Every 50 achievement points give 1 certificate.
buoyant monolith
Is there Easter eggs in XIV and where can I find them?
cold crescent
tyty
remote lintel
@buoyant monolith the Easter eggs are more like references to things
faint flare
Theres tons of references everywhere
gloomy ice
Of which there are too many to count.
buoyant monolith
Oh dear
vagrant copper
There were literal easter eggs though a few weeks ago >_>
obsidian patio
Lemme share a few FATE and achievement names that are pretty meme-powered
remote lintel
notorious biggs is one I won't forget
gloomy ice
I guess the closest thing to actual easter eggs would be the hidden moai statues in some areas.
obsidian patio
remote lintel
that last one is so good
blissful matrix
a lot of the quests are pop-culture references as well
obsidian patio
raw zodiac
Does the base starter edition contain Stormblood?
remote lintel
what is that???
faint flare
No
obsidian patio
That one is a seasonal achievement from 2017 or 2016 IIRC
faint flare
Base edition only gives ARR
blissful matrix
complete edition has everything
remote lintel
I'm guessing they have the base game already
blissful matrix
but if you already have base then yea just get shb
cold crescent
complete edition goes on sale constantly
i picked it up for 36 on psn
just be patient
keen fable
for a week a few weeks ago it went on sale for $35 on se
keen fable
why
raw zodiac
To use proton
keen fable
why not just virtual machine and run it on windows

Because Wine sucks

should paladins be outdpsing me as a ninja at level 31
open coral
That depends
nova copper
Is it to late to get the Rathalos Mount?
open coral
Are both of you actually level 31 and wearing level-appropriate gear? Or is the Paladin synced down?
keen fable
the paladin is synced down
wintry chasm
It's permanent content so no Psy
open coral
No @nova copper
little swift
Is it to late to get the Rathalos Mount?
@nova copper no rathalos is permanent
nova copper
Th-thank
open coral
Then yes @keen fable that’s not unexpected
keen fable
really? i thought level syncing was supposed to balance it
open coral
It does to an extent, but gear is synced down to “max ilevel”, so their effective stats will still allow them to out dps you
open coral
There’s also the possibility that you’re doing something wrong, but NIN at 30 is basically just your combo still
twilit arch
also if its during a trash pull, then he's got aoe and you don't
open coral
You don’t get Raiton/Katon until 35, iirc
twilit arch
so he's naturally going to do more than you during that
keen fable
well this is on single target
i'm beating the red mage but he's top dps in this on bosses
twilit arch
but all in all, don't worry about leveling dmg numbers
drifting burrow
hey what methods can i use to find out what items are popular on my server’s market board?
leaden ginkgo
for wreath of snakes extreme unsynced, how many tanks and healers do u need ?
drifting burrow
i ran 2 tanks, 2 heals for the mechanics
warped nest
2 tanks 1 healer, unless you can skip the tank buster mechanics
drifting burrow
it made it a little slower compared to having more dps, but it made it less confusing for everyone
dense cloud
Does gear affect in any way quick ventures?
leaden ginkgo
i see alright thank you
warped nest
Regarding the double beam, if you only have 1 healer, the beams will be aimed at a healer and a DPS, so instead of the THDD stacks for 2 healers, you do DPS on one side, TTH on the other
leaden ginkgo
tth?
drifting burrow
^
warped nest
Take note that if your DPS output is not that good, you are still better off running a standard team with EX Seiryu
Don't try to cheat it
leaden ginkgo
what's thdd
zinc orbitBOT
slate arrow
Certain mechanics target certain roles
warped nest
Tank healer Dps dps
leaden ginkgo
oh ok
keen fable
does red mage count as a caster or melee for lb
remote lintel
caster
warped nest
Caster
remote lintel
red mage is not melee
keen fable
alright
warped nest
Look at their role in the Class/Job tab in your character window
remote lintel
no
warped nest
Not really necessary
open coral
LB is not part of anyone’s rotation
remote lintel
lb is only for certain situations
keen fable
i read somewhere that people prefer melees using lb
remote lintel
yes
warped nest
Melee LB3 has the strongest single target potency
remote lintel
because big damage
twilit arch
in dungeons, caster/ranged lb is better on trash
especially if you're doing big pulls
warped nest
What Smug said
open coral
There are a few bosses where tank or ranged dps LB is also required or preferred
warped nest
hey what methods can i use to find out what items are popular on my server’s market board?
@drifting burrow basically guess work tbh
open coral
And times when healer lb3 becomes necessary
keen fable
i see
warped nest
There are 3rd party site that do these sort of analysis, but they ain't real time
keen fable
does LB stack faster at higher levels?
warped nest
No
keen fable
i don't think i've seen a LB go past 1 1/2 ever
open coral
Party composition does speed up the charge rate though
warped nest
You will see LB more in EX trials, Alliance raids, normal raid, or Savage raids
open coral
For 8 man content, at least
For dungeons, usually melee dps will be expected to LB when the final boss of the instance is around 10% hp
forest lark
O my god. I just completed duty ||playing as Alphinaud|| its so sick, will there be more similar duties in shb?

So I run to Crystal lol
faint flare
No
unreal aspen
hey for road to 70
warped nest
You can just leave after you beat the boss
twilit arch
open duty finder > leave
unreal aspen
if i get a class overlvl 70 i still have it right? it lasts for like however long it was initially meant to
warped nest
Oh, you mean that
unreal aspen
for all other under 70 classes
solemn delta
Thanks
faint flare
Yes
warped nest
Road to 70 remains active until the server is no longer preferred AND your character is older than 90 days
unreal aspen
ok ty!
so i have 90 days from when i made my character even if server is no longer pref before then?
warped nest
Yup
If you make it today, and by coincidence server is not preferred tomorrow, character still have it for 90 days
drifting burrow
oh are you able to swiftcast lb?
twilit arch
nope
warped nest
Nope
mental dragon
So, I'm a new player that just upgraded to the complete game from the free trial where I was lvl 35, is my best bet at finding a suitable FC here in #603040858782040095 ? Or are there better options?
proud willow
Most people doing recruiting on this discord or on reddit are looking for people specifically to do certain endgame raids
You're better off talking to people in-game to find an FC
pliant cosmos
get talking and make some friends

Alright, thanks! 😄

anything I should do ASAP after finishing the ShB MSQ?

all the blue quests that show up for one

is there a way to turn on an option to see all enemies that the party is fighting
even if you havent hit them
stuck oracle
the enemy list? you can turn it off from the HUD
warped nest
No
warped nest
You can see them without hitting them by healing a tank or whatev
Enemy list doesn't work the way you think it works
stuck oracle
all of em. they'll unlock EXs and raids
keen fable
thats lame
:v
its hard to target each of them to hit with bio unless im right on top of them
vagrant copper
You can use Tab to cycle through enemies
stuck oracle
^
crystal bluff
yup
keen fable
yea, but that has a habit of going to the same enemy twice, or going to an enemy in the distance
warped nest
its hard to target each of them to hit with bio unless im right on top of them
Do you have Bane yet?
stuck oracle
the tab target system is not perfect and sometimes targets the wrong ones... but it helps
if you adjust your camera so that the enemies in the distance are not visible it'll only cycle between the ones in view

warped nest
Don't bother until you get this...

oki
vagrant copper
In dungeons and what not, I just fire off a heal and that gets everything nearby on the enmity list. Which is easy enough to click to get some DPS in. Which is all you should really worry about.

clever cave
ya, playing a lot
nova umbra
It took me a very long time to get my crafters to 60 because I didn't unlock ishgardian restoration until my crafters and gatherers were already 60
warped nest
I generally just assume people have 4-6 hours to play, not half of the day
clever cave
ok then realistically, if you dont want to spend much gil either id give it 3-4 weeks
warped nest
Well.. There you go 1 week if you play from sun rise to sun set
keen fable
that's basically the entire day, 12 hours is lol
warped nest
Pace yourself, just do 5 levels across the board per week after you hit lvl 15
Don't need to rush
clever cave
yea, i guess if you do want to level them its best before the next patch
sonic wing
What is the best software to be able to play Bard Performance instruments with a MIDI keyboard?

Just do all low level recipe once for first time bonus
And buy materials from the guild people

like.. if you are leveling carpenter itll save you many gils if you had botanist leveled and such

@dry tree thats because you put your hotbars as shared

@dry tree you need to unshare your hotbars
warped nest
@dry tree your hotbar are shared

anyone know how glamour works? i bought a story skip so it gave me shire pankratist gear and im getting better gear from other sources but they're all really ugly. It's not too big of a difference so i can keep running the shire gear but id like to use the stronger gear obviously. Is there a restriction where u can only make 1 gear appear like something else once and the appearance gear gets consumed or is there a way to get it back

@agile turret

@wraith hawk take a peek at your market board and you can consider using the scrips to buy materials that sell well
otherwise there's materia and other/ revised survival manuals if you need those
or get the regional folklore tokens
for the books
agile turret
oh and speaking of gear, would it be a good idea to buy the lvl 70 allegan poetics gear when i reach there? (66 rn) or should i not waste them because I'm gonna buy shadowbringers after and there will probably be better gear from the shadowbringer story?
little swift
you'll keep getting gear as you go through msq
but the scaevan/shire/ironworks were some of the highest ilvl gear there was at the end of the expansion
its a good holdover as you move into the next expansion

ok cool

is there a way to just unequip my glamor plate

if its already applied to something you can use glamour dispellers to remove them off the equipment
why wouldn't you want to use hyosho
@keen fable you do use hyosho, you just don't use hyoton
keen fable
hyosho is a 1500 potency attack

glamour dispellers?

hyoton has the effect of BIND but that doesn't do much outside of overworld mobs
and its less potency than raiton

less potency than fuma xd

@cold crescent glamour dispellers remove glams
there's no way to mass remove glams

you can give commendations on free trial

separate window pops up to give a commendation
though if people leave right away you can't give them a commendation
so if everyone leaves asap before you can click to give it to them, you can't anymore
keen fable
then you cant give them one
raw solstice
yeah people usually don't linger too long
leaden ginkgo
I will keep it in mind

what does item spiritbond do?
raw solstice
especially if it's like your first time in the dungeon, there's usually a small cutscene at the end of each dungeon, and since people often don't care about the loot they'll toss out a comm and leave even before you are out of the cutscene
leaden ginkgo
That is exactly what happened
like the cutscene finished and they were already at the bosses door
I do not even know how that is possible
raw solstice
getting to 100% spiritbond gives you the option to "extract materia", where you can get a piece of materia from the piece of gear, and it then sets the spiritbond back to 1%
keen fable
does it provide any benefit to have 100% spiritbond
raw solstice
not at all other than being able to get that free piece of materia
warped nest
Nope
There is no stat bonus in a fully spirit bonded gear
If that's what you are looking for
keen fable
So I should be extracting materia each time my gear levels?
warped nest
It is free gils
raw solstice
doesn't hurt yeah
no reason not to
it used to destroy the piece of gear to do so as well, but they changed that now, so it is literally just free materia
random kindle
so i can extract all my old spiritbonded gear for materia?
warped nest
Yes
random kindle
ok cool
warped nest
They usually don't amount to much, but it is still freebie gils after all
Sometimes you might get lucky and get the materia needed for Zodiac relic, those might sell alright on the MB

So, afaik, normally MSQs are indicated by a flame wreathe around the quest marker. Or at least, I've only ever had one of those quests available.
After finishing the MSQ up to lvl 50, I have (at least) 2, both currently in Revenants toll. Mostly just want a basic explenation, as depending on what exactly the second quest entails I may not want to go poking around on a wiki and risk spoiling something :P
warped nest
leaden ginkgo
That yah
warped nest
It just means that you need to finish these 2-3 stuff at any order
Before you get the next big

ya you have 3 to do at once after lvl 50 and then they all combine into 1 again after those

So I'm really new to the game but come from playing a ton of MMOs, and my end goal is to get to end-game content efficiently (while still learning the game and my class lol). Anyone here willing to answer some questions regarding end-game play, specifically raiding? Guess my first question might be a strange one lol but which role (dps, tank, or healer) requires the least amount of investment (into gear) to be end-game/raid viable
remote lintel
@vapid scarab they all require the same investment
warped nest
If you want to make a all purpose gearset, then tank/healer
If we look at individual jobs, then what Cerberus said is accurate
No one job needs more or less gear investment
warped nest
When I said tank/healer is easier on making a general purpose gearset because they uses the same series of fending (tank) and healing gear.
DPS has 3 distinct sub categories, and uses 5 gear series (you can't mix and match)
There is no 1 size fit all gearset for the DPS
leaden ginkgo
For my own purposes, since I'm curious; does this mean getting "loot" isn't really much of a thing at endgame? Since that's pretty different then other MMOs, so it's unusual to me
warped nest
BiS (best in slot) uses combination of endgame currency gear and Savage difficulty raid gear
To be viable, you can just get endgame currency (referred as tomestone) gear, normal difficulty raid gears, and/or crafted gears

raw solstice
yes, they can
silk yew
i have no more eden quests in mord souq and i don't have eden verse savage on my list
i went to the empty and the core and nothing was there
raw solstice
to note, that's actually a setting you can change, for movement in general. What you're on right now is the default, "standard" where it's tank controls, right click rotates your character and camera, pressing S makes you backwalk. You can also swap to legacy, which decouples your camera and character facing (pressing S has you run straight back instead of backwalking, holding right click and moving camera is just like holding left click)

If anyone is playing dancer with a controller, can you put up what your hot bars look like?
twilit arch
oh for crafting, my bad
then yeah facet is worth. its currently BiS
but that said white scrip gear is also fine if you don't want to meld
mossy current
twilit arch
because to get the most out of facet, you want to meld it
twilit arch
like if you're not going to be doing a lot of end-game crafting (the master recipes) white scrip gear is more than fine, even if you do want to get into end-game
you can use white scrip as a stepping stone
for materia, you can either farm yellow scrips or restoration
restoration has 7/8, yellow scrips can buy 4-8
warped nest
Tldr on my controller dancer setup:
R2 Face button: single target combo
R2 dpad: standard step, technical, flourish, devilment
L2 face: feather stuff + saber
L2 dpad: AOE combo
Role Action, healing waltz, dance partner, dash, etc are on my secondary
drifting burrow
but it's worth if you want to craft neo-ish sets right?
twilit arch
it'll make crafting neo-ishgardian a lot easier, yeah
because with overmelds, you won't necessarily need food
drifting burrow
if i eat food before crafting with white scrip gear, would it be similar to having penta melded facet?
warped nest
Close
twilit arch
no, but it'll be somewhat close in stats
warped nest
It will be close
Penta melded is for making HQ product with no HQ materials at all
The more HQ materials you can invest, the less stat you need to meld
keen fable
wouldnt penta melding make crafting exceedingly cheaper then?
twilit arch
yes, but the thing is that pentamelding is a quite a gil investment
drifting burrow
yea
twilit arch
you are going to lose a lot of materia
warped nest
Meld can fail if you meld it in the hidden slots
twilit arch
last slot goes down it like 2-5% or smthing

Yeah

I don't think Facet is our last crafting gear for ShB either

wraith hawk
are skysteel tools worth the investment? i dont mind a grind but if they overtaken by a new tool next patch id feel silly
warped nest
If I may, General rule for cross hotbar @quick zenith, actions you press very often and on the move, you put them on your face buttons
twilit arch
keybind > system > "cycle through hotbars" is the option
warped nest
Actions you press often (but not as often as the face button stuff) you put on dpad
Then you organize based on combo, or pairing
warped nest
I just make 1 very large keyboard hotbar and put my key cooldown there
Usually near my job gauge

its mostly about mana management, to make sure you're not overcapping early and so that you can save and edge of shadow for your burst phase @remote lintel

you can set them to be visible in the hud layout

having things like your status bar invisable during a battle seems kinda counter productive

it should be visible by default?

Arranging them before saving should give you an idea of how it should look

Should I level up one class for right now or level up another one?

Within datacentres, individual worlds don't really matter. Almost all important content is cross-world.
Server populations for most servers are fairly balanced, and fluctuate up and down relative to one another thanks to world population balancing incentives.

Pick Zodiark or Lich if you're creating a new character. They both have the "preferred" status meaning that you will get a hefty exp bonus as an incentive to create your character there.

Best dungeon for 70-71 is Castrum Abania.
