@keen storm here's a budget (sorta) set to follow if you want some better statcaps
gloomy ice
@keen storm White scrip gear is good enough for IR turn ins, yeah. Might need food to boost your CP a bit but it's more than sufficient.
light lintel
yeah
little swift
restoration has some low requirements though so food should supplement just fine
light lintel
when standing still. perfect
Love every bit of the graphics for it
but once you move, disco time :D
leaden ginkgo
yeah, its mostly the grass, it has something do with the alpha textures or whatever
so turning off grass helps a lot, but then yeah, no grass so
keen storm
ok so many informations thanks 3: ~

ill check gridania how much it has changed.

you can also try downscaling if you have a beefy pc

also a bare minimums meldset @keen storm
light lintel
not sure what you mean with downscaling though
leaden ginkgo
you run it on a higher resolution then your monitor
it scales it up then scales it down so it kinda simulates better AA

is the goal of sam to build up to iaijutsu and also build kenki to use in one of the 3 attacks?
boreal gyro
cancel service acc means delete it?
warped nest
@boreal gyro should be
@remote lintel kenki is used to dish out additional offensive Ability and buff your iaijitsu
remote lintel
ah
warped nest
At lvl 52-62, you are not building kenki very fast, so it is primarily used for iaijitsu
62 onwards, you will generate kenki much faster
remote lintel
whats enhanced enpi

what egi should i mainly use as summoner btw

hello all, I actually bought the game quite a while ago but didn’t have to time to get into it, but now that I do I started a new charcater, and I have an idea on how combat works and mechanics and all that, but would appreciate maybe some tips and tricks type stuff?
remote lintel
we can help if you specify a class
royal loom
Thaumaturge
royal loom
Ah, I simply meant I didn’t have any particular questions, just more so things I can do to make things go along more smoothly?
Only level six, started about an hour ago
remote lintel
msq gives most of your exp
make sure you know that ice spells regen your mana and fire spells deplete it
royal loom
Msq?
warped nest
Yeah, do your Main Scenario Quest 
and your job quest. If you look at the top left of your screen
remote lintel
main story quest
royal loom
Ah gotcha, lots of acronyms
warped nest
There should be an UI with on it, it is used track your story and job quests
When you get a new skill, read their tooltips
royal loom
Well I did buy a shadowbringers upgrade pass or whatever apparently, because I do own a level 70 death knight I never remember having
I’m assuming I bought it after I originally bought the game
remote lintel
warped nest
And XIV is a game where skill at low level is still used at higher level, so don't remove skills off your hotbar
High level skills don't replace low level skills, so read your tooltips and work out what they do, if you are unsure with the skills, feel free to drop by and ask questions here
royal loom
I did try to play said level 70 character and had quite no idea what I was doing and figured It’d be easier to just start anew
royal loom
I got a basic understanding of the death knights abilities like grit and the two bars but I meant more story wise
remote lintel
did you story skip?
royal loom
Jumping into end game didn’t seem wise anyhow I couldn’t tell you why I bought it originally
Apparently
remote lintel
royal loom
I bought the collectors edition right after shadowbringers came out
terse oracle
my friend is having issues launching ffxiv, anyone know how to fix it? Like when they press "play" nothing happens
royal loom
Then I must’ve bought the story skip/jump to level 70 package
remote lintel
well you can replay the story using new game+ feature
which if you like a good story I recommend you do that
royal loom
Instead of using the new character?
royal loom
yeye
I mean at the same time it is an extra 50$ I spent on that other character so I don’t want them to just sit forever
remote lintel
alts can actually come in handy if you plan on doing endgame content
so they won't be totally useless
royal loom
Ah
I see
At the same time I do and don’t want to kinda do end game content like dungeons and the such
I want to expierence the story like it was “supposed to” but I also do want to do endgame content, but I would definitely need some tutelage when it comes to the death knight
remote lintel
there's like "regular" endgame content and then there's like hardcore endgame content
it's totally optional
you don't have to do any hardcore raiding or whatever if you don't want to
royal loom
Hm
Well I’m not interested in building the perfect character with the exact loot I need and such Yknow? I do just want to have fun. So mainly I’m wondering what would be more enjoyable? Finding a few people who can teach me and do end game content or to just ride out the main story content with the new character?
remote lintel
you should do the main story content first
because that leads up to the endgame stuff
and helps you take baby steps there
frozen cove
Anybody know if the shadowbringers song on the main menu cinematic is on spotify?
remote lintel
@frozen cove shadowbringers album isn't on spotify yet

oh ok! Thank you for letting me know otherwise I wouldve drove myself crazy

My BTN just hit 50 and up until now, I've just been updating its gear every 5 levels through vendor gear

do we know at all when itll release? 😮
royal loom
slightly unrelated there’s a gun blade class?
royal loom
Is it a dps or a tank?
faint flare
Tank
flint fulcrum
tank
faint flare
Comes at lv60
royal loom
oh
warped nest
!faq shbjobs
zinc orbitBOT
royal loom
Is it “good?”
faint flare
Yes
remote lintel
define "good"
twilit arch
@tropic summit thats perfectly fine to continue with. For lv50 there's not much that's easy to get except the forager hat and main hand from grand company seals. generally easier to just push to 51 and get the archaeoskin set. for 60 you can use yellow scrips to buy scrip gear or just push to 61 to get teh vendor gear, 70 same deal (though arguably the 70 scrip gear is probably better than buying vendor gear since it'll last you a while)
royal loom
that’s kinda what I meant
remote lintel
all classes are good
royal loom
I don’t really know what defines if a class is good or not
remote lintel
they all are
faint flare
Everything is good
warped nest
!faq meta
royal loom
Ah, it’s more so a knowing how to play them? Instead of some classes just being better then others?

mossy tartan
Is it possible to glamour a piece of equipped gear, to another piece of gear that belongs to a different job?
warped nest
There is no one job in XIV where everyone will yell at you for playing it
faint flare
Glamour is role lockrd
warped nest
If you can wear it then you can glamour it
mossy tartan
Ah, sad
royal loom
Main thing I was reading is that there’s a desperate need for tanks? Is that true?
quasi summit
amazing there is no meta jobs and then in blue click here for the best jobs in the game xD
warped nest
Some gears are marked as ALL Classes even when they are crafters, so these gears can be glamour
tropic summit
@twilit arch 👌👌👌 Thank you, I'll look into scrips (from Restoration, right?) but it's comforting to know vendoring all the way is viable
obsidian patio
@quasi summit click it
twilit arch
there are more dps players than there are tanks/healers
obsidian patio
:)))
remote lintel
@royal loom there are more dps classes than tank or healer classes in the game, so naturally there are more dps players. which means tanks and healers are in higher demand.
quasi summit
that trolling
royal loom
Ah I see
warped nest
New players lean to picking Dps because they think it is less responsibility, and there are more DPS classes to choose from
twilit arch
no not from restoration, i'm talking about yellow scrips for the house of splendors in mor dhona/idyllshire/rhaglr's reach/eulmore @tropic summit
warped nest
10 Dps vs 3 healer / 4 tanks
twilit arch
if you haven't yet, there should be a quest in mor dhona to unlock collectables and the mor dhona house of splendor
quasi summit
that picture using lightning magic yet there is no lightning element based class 😦
royal loom
I mean, in the other mmos ive dabbled in (which I’ve never fully “committed” to one) I usually would end up playing a tank or healer
warped nest
You are the outlier
remote lintel
why would you have a class based on only 1 element
quasi summit
why not 😛
remote lintel
because that's boring
warped nest
Elements in this game is flavor
remote lintel
and you can have more
warped nest
Don't expect Pokémon elemental advantage here

slate arrow
this is final fantasy not elemental fantasy
slate arrow
warped nest
Some final fantasy games... Actually most of them has elemental advantage
But this game doesn't
royal loom
Well if I’m entirely honest I’m kinda wanting to see where I could go with the level 70. Maybe try to pick up gunbreaker since it seems more interesting then the dark knight to me
remote lintel
except in eureka
you can pick up gunbreaker on your dark knight character
since they're lvl 70
royal loom
I could just. Go through the story at my pace with the new character and kinda ease into actual co op and dungeons with the level 70?
warped nest
The lvl 70 job doesn't give you any advantages in dungeons
royal loom
Right. I just mean kinda jump between the two
remote lintel
ehhhhh
royal loom
Is that a bad idea?
warped nest
Your level will be synced down to the dungeon
little swift
also during solo instances
remote lintel
i'm biased to the story and jumping between your lvl 70 and low level will spoil some things so i'm kinda eh to it
but if you really want to
royal loom
I mean if I’m entirely honest I got spoiled on the story already
Of shadowbringers at least
flint fulcrum
wouldent she have to do the story anyway to unlock the dungeons?
remote lintel
she has 2 characters
leaden ginkgo
royal loom
^
leaden ginkgo
did her butt pop out like this for everyone or is it just me
shrewd relic
tbh i never watched any of the cutscenes
is there like a video where i can watch the story
not in game
cut scenes take too long
remote lintel
@royal loom being spoiled for shadowbringers doesn't spoil the entire story
royal loom
True
remote lintel
there's still way more to it
royal loom
I have heard the story is uh
remote lintel
like all the other expansions
royal loom
large
flint fulcrum
very
twilit arch
I mean, the youtube videos of the story are going to be long
royal loom
hm
Well would just doing endgame content on the level 70 ruin the story expierence for me?
shrewd relic
i just want a concise story lmao 😦
remote lintel
@royal loom depends on how much you've been spoiled for shb but i'd say yes
twilit arch
there's recaps of ARR and HW pinned in #archived-lore-spoilers but nothing for SB and Shb afaik
royal loom
That’s kind of what I meant by splitting them between main story and co op
Just kinda have a character that progresses through the story normally and a character for end game content
remote lintel
why not just work your way up to endgame content on your new character
royal loom
well I’ll be entirely honest I have time but not that much time
remote lintel
hmm
royal loom
I’m shipping out to the army here in a few weeks and I’m still working
So I have more free time then usual but, not enough for that
remote lintel
i supposed if you like
skipped all the cutscenes in the endgame content
then you won't really be spoiled
flint fulcrum
honestly your lvl 70 is going to be the more difficult of the two to get a hang of, msq story progression also allows you a pace to learn your class and how the game functions as a new player, cause it is very unforgicing at times when it comes to rotations and mechanics.
remote lintel
if thats what you want to do
royal loom
Hm
remote lintel
also what voca said
royal loom
I do have a general understanding of the mechanics but I’ve also not have played with anyone else and just been a solo player
remote lintel
the endgame content can take a lot of coordination, especially if youre a tank
it would be very difficult for a new player to just hop into
flint fulcrum
low level mechanics and higher level ones are two very different things.
royal loom
Like, I have basic understanding of the dark knight but I’m sure if I joined a random group for a dungeon I would get booted out for imcomptence
remote lintel
basic understanding isn't going to get you through endgame
leaden ginkgo
doesnt hurt to just watch a guide on that dungeon
remote lintel
yeah but watching a guide and then doing it as a new player will still be hard
royal loom
I mean, I realize the game is complicated but isn’t my job to just draw aggro and balance debuffs of the Enemy with personal buffs?
flint fulcrum
the advantage of doing msq and unlocking dungeons while you go is that the difficulty of those mechanics increased gradually and allows you a learning curve.
royal loom
Which is where things like Grit come into play,
leaden ginkgo
youre also supposed to make sure the boss in the right spot
little swift
grit is your tank stance
tropic summit
@twilit arch Ohh I see, I see. Thanks for that info
little swift
turn it on when tanking
remote lintel
@royal loom in the endgame dungeons a lot of the boss have tank-specific attacks, so the tank needs to position themselves in a way that doesn't get the rest of the group cleaved
little swift
profit
royal loom
Ah
remote lintel
it's not just a simple tank and spank
flint fulcrum
knowing what the tank buster is, knowing where to position, theres lots to it.
leaden ginkgo
for lower level dungeons just make sure the boss is not facing the group
remote lintel

what are different ways to obtain better gear while leveling up?
royal loom
Sorry for all the annoying questions, Im just eager to enjoy everything the game has to offer but also don’t really have the time to progress through it regularly
remote lintel
it's fine
royal loom
Not to shadowbringers at least
warped nest
Move the boss in such a way that upcoming mechanics can be handled comfortably etc
remote lintel
i just don't think immediately jumping into endgame content is feasible
flint fulcrum
i agree
leaden ginkgo
remote lintel
¯_(ツ)_/¯
shrewd relic
@leaden ginkgo amazing
remote lintel
soltie that's not what shes asking
obsidian patio
@static terrace if it’s your first time through the story it will give you more than enough gear
royal loom
No no I understand lol
warped nest
what are different ways to obtain better gear while leveling up?
@static terrace dungeon drop, getting it from your GC (below level 50), trading them with tomestone (lvl 50 and up), MSQ reward, buying from NPC
leaden ginkgo
oof youre right
warped nest
Dungeon, reward, NPC works all the way to max level

Yo, so I have a question: If I purchased the game through steam, is it possible to get the collectors edition upgrade items still? Like I see the option on mogstation still, but despite having shadowbringers it also says I don't have any of the expansions on the same page of the mogstation so not sure if that would throw things off
warped nest
The 3 others are dead because they stood with the tank when the boss cleave
crimson wind
Don't. Buy. On. Steam.
flint fulcrum
^
warped nest
Please don't say that
obsidian patio
Buying on steam isn’t the end of the world.
cinder patio
@crimson wind Alas you are very right, but it's too late.
royal loom
oh I’m curious as to why
slate arrow
you can always buy the digital deluxe upgrade on Mogstation
Main screen upon logging in, right side of the table

thank you
vapid scarab
Newbie question here but can I visit a preferred server and get bonus exp there??
slate arrow
20 bucks per expansion/thing
warped nest
@cinder patio take a screenshot of your mogstation, the table with your expansions
remote lintel
@royal loom why you don't buy on steam?
warped nest
No, Delirium
royal loom
Mhm
twilit arch
@vapid scarab no
warped nest
Doesn't work that way
remote lintel
because steam doesn't have many sales
obsidian patio
The basic TL;DR: is that steam licenses and non-steam can’t mix, so if you buy on steam you have to buy the expansions on steam
agile turret
when do limit breaks become relevant? i see it in my general section but ive never used one yet
slate arrow
@vapid scarab you have to make a new character on a preferred server for the exp bonus
warped nest
Lvl 30+
slate arrow
@agile turret whenever you're in a 4 person or 8 person party
royal loom
Ah
flint fulcrum
in dungeons
remote lintel
@royal loom when you buy the game on steam you can ONLY buy further expansions on steam, which are often full price and don't go on sale
royal loom
I’m not on pc so I’m not worried about that, was just curious
remote lintel
thats more specific
warped nest
It is not like expansion comes out every 6 months
cinder patio
@warped nest
slate arrow
Steam isn't the end of the world. Do note local pricing can mean it tends to be cheaper than SE or other storefronts

navigating this layout on console was my biggest challenge for awhile

i like steam cause steam wallet
warped nest
Look up

that image doesn't show whether they have steam or not @warped nest
cinder patio
I purchased the game via steam and have used steam wallet a few times
obsidian patio
Upgrading to Collector’s is done in the “Additional Services” section
obsidian patio
cinder patio
@obsidian patio yeah just was wondering if they are compatible with steam or not. Like if they counted as an expansion (which must be purchased via steam) or just account items (which can be purchased on mogstation)
Didn't want to buy one of them only for it to not work
twilit arch
Afaik the digital upgrade on mogstation doesn't care whether you're steam, non steam or ps4
warped nest
It has nothing to do with steam
obsidian patio
Digital upgrading shouldn’t care about platform.
warped nest
It is an account thing
zinc orbitBOT
cinder patio
Ah, kk thanks!
twilit arch
its just flagging your account for collector
slate arrow
Also, you only have to buy collectors edition once and it applies to all platforms
warped nest
I bought Collectors on PS4 and Standard on Steam
Still see my collector stuff on Steam
royal loom
Wait, is the game cross play enabled?
cinder patio
noice, sounds good then
twilit arch
yes
warped nest
Yes
twilit arch
Everyone plays on the same servers
royal loom
Oh, nice
cinder patio
Yeah I play with a friend whose on PS4 quite regularly
slate arrow
all clients connect to the same servers and instances yes
warped nest
There is no PS4-Aether and PC-Aether
slate arrow
The only feature that's platform specific is seeing someone's PSN ID in game
warped nest
Just Aether data center
royal loom
it is bizzare to me aa it seems like on ps4 it’s more so like, just running the Pc client instead of like, its own game
If that makes sense
slate arrow
The PS4 is just a high end 2015 PC
I'm more impressed it ran on the PS3 for at least 3-4 years
royal loom
this game is that old huh
warped nest
They have PS4 specific stuff, on PS4, your TouchPad works like a mouse
Not very well
But it is occasionally useful
royal loom
I’ve noticed
obsidian patio
I don’t try to use it in the heat of combat
warped nest
For this game, it is good enough for questing
royal loom
I’ve owned a PS4 since launch and to this day I could not till you how the motion controls work
Either way I believe I’ve drifted off topic, I apologize
I’ll stick with the new character for now, but If I wanted to jump onto the high level character could I expect to get some assistance with at least attempting to learn how to be an endgame tank?

unmend is ranged?

Yes

@clever cave thing is with that I’ll differently need at least one person to well, teach me what to do lmao

someone can teach you how to properly tank in 1 instance easily

yeah but you also have to learn each individual fight

I’m not denying that is I’ve just yet to see it

the game slowly amps up the difficulty
vapid scarab
Question: when I finish PoD level 60, do I need to logout or how do I leave so that I can farm these levels?
I just saw that my whole party disappeared after the boss was beat lol
little swift
a lot of the problems with early content come with the fact that many people greatly outscale content in ilvl so they do the maximum damage possible in a given instance
royal loom
And as previously mentioned I don’t have the 100 hours of free time to get there naturally

it ends up trivializing mechanics

btw guys, I've seen a lot of advice to stick with the highest level gear, but I noticed for me (mch) crit rate is very important, I currently wear all the gear which gives some crit rate and my dps is greatly increased
is it still worth to change to slightly higher level gear but without crit?
currently level 60
faint flare
Yes
mossy current
Don't worry about specific stats until level 80

okay
warped nest
Unless you measured it with a tool
Then your DPS increase is only based on your crit number being bigger

if i want to level a second job without main story i need to get first 1 job to 60? to get the exp buffs or 80?

You get the buff as long as you a leveling any dow/m that is not your highest level dow/m
If your highest is a Gladiator at lvl 15, then anything combat job below 15 will get the buff
timber urchin
so i have Redmage.. and i want to level up summoner and the other class

If you ended up with say a conjurer at lvl 20, now your lvl 15 Gladiator will get the buff

it should work?

I've got 3 retainers at level 30, I started them off as archer due to that being my main at the time, now my main is mch - should I reset retainers level and class and relevel them or it's okay to hit 55 level cap with them? In the long run what's the better decision?

So like Ul’Dah=doma Thanalan=yanxia and Eorzea=Othard?

Sure
Othard is the continent Yanxia is the region owned by Doma pretty much, Doma is the city-state

ul'dah is smaller than doma I'm p sure
wintry chasm
Oh idk about that Cerberus
stuck oracle
much smaller but it's a similar concept
remote lintel
yeah

Doma before the garlean invasion at least had enforcement similar to the yellow jackets/brass blades
at least in terms of reach

So Doma isn’t just the city itself but the region around the city too?

the real question is if yanxia is the equivalent of china why does everyone still have japanese names

by....doing achievements
midnight slate
How do I make a Shit load of money really fast
wintry chasm
each achievement has a point worth
and then those points get converted into the currency
nova copper
What’s the conversion rate
wintry chasm
treasure maps, getting into crafting/gathering can be profitable right away if you do it decently enough, (only hundreds of thousands to begin with though), roulettes, etc etc @midnight slate

50 points per certificate

What’s a good crafter to make money with?
slate arrow
all of them

Ideally you level them all
wintry chasm
^^^^
faint flare
To reduce the need to buy materials
slate arrow
they all make something that's needed either for other crafters or jobs
wintry chasm
They are very interconnected
slate arrow
except for maybe CUL but food is still important when raiding
wintry chasm
CUL is the only one you can really skip when leveling them all since it's materials aren't used for other crafters but it's still nice to do
faint flare
Crafting and gathering is kinda a big "all or nothing" if you wanna be self sufficient and make larger profits
wintry chasm
but really before you do crafting I'd level up gathering first
midnight slate
So I craft things to sell on the MB
That’s how crafters make their money?

otherwise you'd be spending a good amount on materials

Can someone explain how fate chains work? Do I need to complete all of them in order to fight the boss, or just the last one, or can I complete them out of order? Is there a way to track them (the shred fate screen doesn't make sense, I've done two of the tempest ones but nothing has change for that region)
I also just completed the final Tempest "low coral fiber" and the last one that should ahve the boss isn't showing up (i didn't think it would honestly, it can never just be that easy"
If I complete an older quest in the fate chain does that fuck me over and reset the whole thing?
tulip skiff
Red mage does not really follow a rotation? They just do whatever since some of there abilities are random?
open coral
The Shared FATEs simply track the number of FATEs you've completed for each zone. Completing certain numbers of them will unlock rewards from the Bicolor Gem vendors.
faint flare
Red mage is a priority system
ivory iris
yeah I knew that, I was hoping it could track the zone fate chain but I guess not
tulip skiff
Priority system?
open coral
FATE chains should spawn in order, and you can come in simply for the last one in a chain and participate to get credit.
tulip skiff
What does dat mean?
warped nest
red mage main thing is to maintain their black and white mana on their gauge to be within 30 of each other
tacit vector
Sorry if this is a bother, but would anyone mind enlightening me on how to complete the Relic Reborn quest?
warped nest
so if you have different proc (yellow line on certain skill) you need to work out how to do it best while maintaining your black/white mana within the 30 unit difference

Have you accepted the quest for the weapon you want to earn @tacit vector ?
If so, simply follow the instructions in the quest help.

You can, or you can go through the chain.

Bard a the same way also?
warped nest
you can, @leaden ginkgo but it is extremely inefficient
open coral
You can't make skill combo macros the way PvP has where the skills progress through the combos.
tacit vector
@open coral Yes. It says I need to get a materia enhanced madman's whispering rod. But I've looked everywhere and can't find a shop that sells one.
slate arrow
Macros are extremely dumb
warped nest
you can, people just don't
slate arrow
they cannot have conditionals
open coral
@tacit vector You'll need to look for a Madman's Whispering Rod with the appropriate materia fused on the Market Board.
It's a crafted item.
tacit vector
@open coral Oh I see. Well thank you! I'll have a look and see if I can't find one.
open coral
You can also purchase one without the materia, and acquire the materia separately to have an NPC fuse for you.
tacit vector
Thanks!

Is there a way to remove the skill names from showing up when using controller cross hotbar?

there is a macro function to replace your hotbar with other hotbar... so if you have another macro there.... you can technically make a "combo" THIS IS NOT A RECOMMENDATION anyone who happens to see this, don't take this as an advice

it is not a spam so a <se.1> is fine

My Raise macro says
/ac Raise
/p

the point of announcing raise macro is to make sure party numbers know you are doing it and who are you doing it to

Put a wait.1 after the res to avoid spamming chat

so if you press it multiple times in panic, the /p not repeat?

Or if you have to move before it's done casting.

open coral
I will note @vapid scarab that it is not advised to macro Swiftcast and Raise together.
vapid scarab
Why is that? 👀
open coral
The /wait can cause the macro to "hiccup" and the Raise to not go off appropriately
open coral
But it's necessary in order for the macro to function.

Ninja being shit personal heavy buffs

From what I read Samurai is slightly simpler but selfish and ninja gives some more support andutility

warped nest
afaict, no
inland scarab
awww.....
warped nest
@burnt wraith yeah, go find a striking dummy lower level or same level as you, remove all skills, add them back slowly, read tooltips and use them on the dummy
it should help you get the hang of the basics
there are no guides for Shadowbringers lvl 70 dragoons

also, are there ways to set certain song length time? there are songs that's just being cut too soon without having it properly finished it's entirety before playing next on list.

it is a pretty under-developed feature tbh

@stable hinge if you're working your way through the back end of ARR, do your daily roulettes for Poetics, trade them in at Mor Dhona for Ironworks gear. If you max out on Ironworks stuff before you get to HW, upgrade it to Augmented Ironworks @ Drake in (I think) North Shroud
That'll put you in ilvl 130 gear that outclasses a bunch of the early HW turn-ins
and gives ya something to do with poetics, anyway.
