@spring oasis yes
ty
Legacy just signifies a world that existed during 1.0, it means nothing to new players
ohk
is there a reason why I can't open my map for this?
Because the objective for it is completing the leve you have “Too Close to Home”
I try to change chat font size but my changes have no effect
Where should you change it? Maybe i do it wrong
If all the chat tabs are in one window, you have to change the font size of the lowest-numbered one.
Or separate them
Hm but for my general chat i set chat prompt font size to 16 but its still very small
No change
Ah
I found it
Hi. What does the Zodiac Glass say when my novus weapon has obtained enough light?
question abt game performance
my comp (msi laptop) normally runs the game perfectly fine, on max graphics
except every time i summon bahamut my screen freezes like half of the time
is there a way to calculate whether or not you're able to gather something without gathering it for collectables ;w;
what's the laptop model
@solid crypt when the glass says “bursting activity”

@unreal aspen "msi laptop" can mean an i3 with a GTX 1050 to an i7 with a 2080 super
You need to be more specific
Is it me or do DoL % chances plummet after 50?
Beforehand, as long as I updated my gear and popped Unearth/Leaf Turn II, I would be sitting at around 80-90% chance to gather with 45-50% chance for HQ
The step-ups in gear stats and node requirements per level after 50 are more severe.

later on are you able to get all jobs or how do jobs work
You can get all jobs at once. You unlock them either as their base class if they’re from the base game or as a job if they’re an expansion job.
once you hit lvl 15 and do the class quest for that i believe
You just need to complete their intro quest for them that unlocks the class/job
you can pick up the quest to unlock any other job at the respective guild
but astro/drk/rdm/blm/gnb/etc are dlc classes and you need to be at a certain level to grab them
and some are located in dlc cities so you'll have to do the main quest up until that point
@obsidian patio Thanks 
Hello
Im lvl 29,about to hit 30. Im lancer and going to become Dragoon. I was wondering if i get new skills as dragoon,or i must level the lancer skills to 50 first?Also,can i change to dragoon and level my lancer skills automatically?
How does it work?
Hey guys
Lancer upgrades to Dragoon
What r some of the best ways to obtain crystal sand from Udal?
Chearpest/fastes
t
Even as Dragoon, you gain Lancer exp
But your Dragoon is the same level as your lancer
ahh
it says "You donate resources to the Ishgardian restoration effort! (78 points)" what does that mean for me do I get something at certain points?
Do i get dragoon skills from 30-50?Or only the lancer skills?
Makes sure to equip the dragoon stone!
You get both techincally
Oh alright
Once you are a Dragoon, there is no reason to be Lancer anymore
Alright
(if the dev could, they would wipe all classes off the game and keep just the jobs)
Think of it like Pokémon
I have another question
:D
what do i have to do to qualify for further promotion in my GC? currently second storm lieutenant, but the personnel officer just says im not eligible for promotion
Do squadrons
ah
From games like ESO , i always "deconstructed" equipments that i didn't need anymore(to then get materials i could use in crafting) . I have a whole lot of stuff both in inventory and armory. What do i do with these items?
Spefically the lv20 and lv40 flagged missions
@leaden ginkgo crystal sands like for the anima weapon? If you have a crafter or gatherer past 55 you can do custom deliveries for the blue scrip tokens
@quaint gate Desynthesis is unlockable with a level 30 crafter.
You can desynth them if you have crafters at lv30
If not you can spam heavensward leves looking for coffers to open at a chance of getting the amber vile kins.
Or toss at grand company for seals when high enough rank
You can also convert them to materia if their spiritbond is full
From games like ESO , i always "deconstructed" equipments that i didn't need anymore(to then get materials i could use in crafting) . I have a whole lot of stuff both in inventory and armory. What do i do with these items?
@quaint gate either as hand-me-down for other jobs you want to play, sell to NPC for gils, or yeah desynth them
or turn them in for GC seals if they're not craftable gear.
That wouldn't get rid if the gear though lyon
Oh right that doesn't anymore
forget the materia one
Or vendor it
it says "You donate resources to the Ishgardian restoration effort! (78 points)" what does that mean for me do I get something at certain points?
@thick bolt @obsidian patio can you take this one?
Im only lvl 29 mind you,whats the best i should do with it right now?
what?
That’s for the giant bar for progressing through the phases
@obsidian patio I'm interested in the heavensward levels
So I do the dungeons and then open the treasure boxes?
And hope for a drop?
Im only lvl 29 mind you,whats the best i should do with it right now?
@quaint gate keep em for other jobs or sell them for gils
Basically, you start a leve, look for a coffer and open it, and then abandon and restart it.
Okay that sounds good
Anywhere within the green circles of the leve
Coffer = treasure box?
Yep
No
The leve "Show your work" lets you stand on a rock and see the whole area
Leves are basically repeatable mini quests
Leve quest are repeatable quests issued by <<Levemete>> NPC
Ah like beast tribes?
Yeah
Sorta
I usually get around 20-30 amber vilekins per 100 allowances.
Thanks alot for help @everyone
Oh one more thing,whats the most action-packed healer?I need a challange
Astro
I preferred the Dance, Magic Dance one.
Astrologian
Nice,i liked astro from the looks anyways
I've never done a leve.. not sure what they look like
Ok so I go to Ishgard
And then find an issuer?
Should be near the MCH ‘guild’
Yes. He's.up the ramp from the aetheryte
Teleport to Ishgard, then walk north
In a smakl stall
Another option for Crystal Sands are the extreme primal materials.
The leve folks are east of Machinist guild and north of the big Aetheryte
ok
Has a grey card above his head
You can buy them off the marketboard and they can be easily soloed at level 70 and above
guys im brand new to the game, im in gridania and i need level 5 boots to advance the MQ, what shops sell lvl 5 boots here? i found black rabbit market stall but the only sold lvl 1 stuff
im looking everywhere
Go to Old Gridania and look around x14, y10
How long does it take to spam and get a good amount of amber?
And then search that entire building, can’t remember the exact spot of the battle armorer
If you are on Moggle billbear i can give you some gil,i started the game yesterday
100 leves takes maybe half an hour at most once you get good at finding the coffers
I see Dance Magic Dance btw
I see, they are random drops?
Random locations at green circles?
Yes, And 100 leves gets 20-30 ambers on average for me
Hmm and for crystal sands I will need like uh
Is the dragoon good for beating content and play solo?
You need 60-80 total sands.
Every job is good
Depending on luck for the points past the first 120/240
How do i get in u l dah from gridania?
I see, thanks a lot @obsidian patio
What's your
level?
Story takes you there if you haven’t gone there already.
So its find a coffer, hope for an amber, and if no amber, I abandon?
Abandon if you find an amber too, but yes
Yes story says i need to go there
Ok I see
Where Mionne is
But i dont know how
I think
Thank u so much!
South of the big aetheryte in New Gridania
The girl in the Tavern
The
Thanks
Carline Canopy on the map
Found it
What is a good way to get glamour outfits aside the market board?
I heard AST is a bit difficult
Isn't omegascape in the roulette? These queue times are brutal
my friends say you have to be really good at healing/tanking to play ast/gnb, i dont believe them are they correct
They are healer and tank...
yes O1-O12N are in the normal raids roulette, but please consider that it is lvl70 content so not everyone has completed it
I mean, I'm trying to finish it for the first time lol
@mossy tartan sacks from Palace of the Dead and Heaven-on-High have a few scattered sets in them
If the context is "you need to be very good at healing/tank to play AST/GNB competently"... That applies to all jobs, not just AST/GNB
@obsidian patio thank you, are they in storm blood, or end game content?
Palace of the dead is base game, heaven on high is Stormblood
Scholar and Astrologian has slightly higher skill floor than White Mage
!faq potd
Effective Levelling Method
The commonly accepted method for levelling in POTD is to start at floor 51 and clear to 60, then reset the save and start back at floor 51, though if you don’t have floor 51 unlocked, 1-10 is an acceptable alternative.
For HoH the principle is the same, instead you’ll be running floors 21-30 instead.
But nothing is out of reach with practice
POTD can be started as early as 17
Where can I join POTD?
After doing the initial quest in that link you queue up for it in quarrymill in south shroud
Perfect, thank you
Regarding GNB, in my personal opinion, it might be the easiest tank to learn and practice
I know this is a silly question to say... but is there a macro code to open up the macro menu?
No
XP
@leaden ginkgo the only valid argument on AST/GNB is "because they start at lvl 30 and lvl 60 when they are unlocked, it is very overwhelming for players unless they are already good at healing and tanking".
Even then nothing is out of reach with reading tooltips and practicing on striking dummy for a short bit
Also, is it possible to unlock more poses? hyur’s, to be specific
Idle poses, that is
Enjoy, it is a very fast class and pretty cool animation
Nope, those are all the available poses for them
Ah, sad
I just got the job quest for summoner/scholar. 1) Do I need to grab both, to level both? 2) Or can I just grab summoner, and it will level both classes, and I'd have to go back and just do the job quests for scholar?
2
Ok ty.
on jobs that have base classes, you gain base class exp, and the jobs are just extensions of the base class. In the case of summoner/scholar, they both share arcanist as the base class. When you get exp/levels, you get arcanist exp/levels, so that's why they share the same level
if you want to use them both... might as well do the job quests (roughly) simultaneously to get some extra exp 😄
Excuse me what is the name of the blue Quests that are like dailies?
I only have the german name
they give you honour marks or so on
beast tribe quests, I assume are what you're talking about
they give you reputation with the specific beast tribe you complete the quests for
is sephiroth's weapon in the game?
beast tribe is also know as savage tribes or unruly tribes, if that helps you with your german name
No
Leve quest
Ok so yes Leve quests
If i go to a lvl 20 area ,for example
And im lvl 60
For example
Do i still get EXP and so on?
oh
to your level 60 exp bar
You’ll get experience fit for a level 20
nope
ah nice i assume there is only look alikes to the buster sword aswell
Alright thx
No buster blade lookalikes AFAIK
we have cloud glam, but not buster sword glam, iirc
What is a PotD run?
Running a floor set of palace of the dead
palace of the dead, it is a RNG dungeon
everytime you complete 10 floors
you get exp
ok
Roulette
"Random content finder"=roulette?
roulette randomly match make you with other players who needed teammates
you get bonus exp from it
Ahh
and the bonus exp scales to your level and the dungeon you get
I need to turn the game to english
Alright
To palace of the dead,can i access it already?

the link there will take you to the official page on how to get started
a lot of stuff here are in EN... so yeah... hopefully you don't mind
Thanksa lot ,yeah english is no problem
@past flame there's a sword that looks pretty similar to the buster sword imo
the short version is, when it comes to leveling alt jobs:
- Roulette MSQ, Leveling, and alliance give good exp, trials/raid roulette is decent
- highest level dungeon you can queue into, but not lvl 50/60/70 dungeons (they were the endgame dungeons of their respective expansions, so their exp is no good)
- POTD/HOH only if 1 and 2 has way worse queue time
@leaden ginkgo name?
yeah, that's fine too
Tagged you in the kupo bot channel @past flame
@quaint gate you can do FATEs too
Sounds good
hve fun
Someone said Bestiary aswell?
if you mean arondight it doesn't really look like the buster sword
yeah, your class Hunting Log, but they give one-off bonus
Is it possible to change the sitting position?
sitting posture?
You can /cpose while sitting
what Grein said
Indeed, this community is beautiful, one of the many reasons I’m still so incredibly in awe with this game, in only 3 weeks of playing
so when i switch classes outside of a big city i never see my aplied glamour, instead i see my shitty armor. is there something to do to avoid that?
monk lv 2 limit break looks like doing omnislash with buster sword o_o
glamour plate don't work outside of cities and settlement
Level 1 and 2 DPS limit breaks are based on FF7 limitbreaks iirc
oof ok, thanks for info!
@pseudo crescent did you link the glamour plate to the gear set?
Sometimes I see 2 limit break bars, when a limit break is used, are they both consumed and then empowered based on the role of the user?
what are the Aetherpool Arms/Armor strength requirements for Palace of the Dead Floor 71 and beyond?
Does anyone know how to get dualshock 4 controller to work through bluetooth? It works through usb cable but not bluetooth.
there is no way to use just 1 limit break bar
if you have 2 full or 3 full the limit break will automatically change
Okay
@leaden ginkgo since 51-60 wants around 15/15, 71-80 probably wants around 18/18-20/20 if I had to assume a linear growth
@mossy tartan there are 5 limit breaks in this game:
tank : defensive
healer: full heal + MP recovery (i think) + full res without res-weakness
magic DPS: circle AOE
melee DPS: single target
ranged DPS: line AOE
the number of bar determines the strength
Full res on all nearby targets?
the healer, only 3 bar limit break will full res
@obsidian patio so if I start a new save file will that reset my Aetherpool strength?
@mossy tartan yes
wow
All KO'd people in your party
@obsidian patio so I could delete both save files and still keep the strength?
You can use the second file to run 51-60 multiple times to get Aetherpool levels
Not misc people outside of the party
Yes
As a mercy player in overwatch - this sure brings back memories :>
i think healer LB3 has a range, but it is pretty big
30 yalms IIRC
Yeah
Hey guys
so yeah, there you go Remilia
Thank you : )
Hello folks, I’m new to FFXIV. I am downloading the game for the first time on 1000Mbps internet and it is downloading at .03-3.0MB/s for a couple days now. Are there any known tricks for faster downloads of the game client?
each class has its own artifact gear @leaden ginkgo
you get it by leveling up and doing class quest
There is a job-specific gear for every job, the number depends on the number of expansions it's been available in
So how would I run the same set of floors in PoTD if it's always kicking me up to the next set of floors?
how many a class has depends on the class
7 gear series for most cases:
fending: tanks
healing: healer
casting: mage
aiming: ranged physical
striking: samurai and monk
maining: dragoon
scouting: ninja
5 accessories
fending: ditto
healing: ditto
casting: ditto
slaying: dragoon, samurai, monk
aiming: ranged physical + ninja
Not during pandemic I think
Sorry not what I meant
Hm
I meant the ones only available to each job
Aren't there final fantasy 14 physical CDs at shops?
Different jobs have different amounts
Or do you have a friend with fast internet?
you level up
I had the same problem with WoW,i downloaded Wow 3 weeks xD
Until 80
yes
@quaint gate think it’s me?
those jobs specific gears are called artifacts
Not a normal behavior for other folks?
I only got 2 artifact sets :/
they are only equipable by that specific job
What do you mean?
yeah, lvl 60, 70, 80 have them
yes
Ah there is also one for 80?
yes
I did not do the 80 ones yet because I thought it only gives title, haha:)
The super slow downloads... my internet is 1Gb/s but it’s going <1MB/s
the level 80 gear isn't from a class quest
Make sure you do your Role Quests once you reach the Crystarium
Where do u get the 80 ones?
did you finish the story?
Yep
then from the guy underwater
remember that human NPC south of The Tempest?
Ohh I remember
talk to him
Oh you have fast internet?
If you've finished MSQ, then you should remember
you have to do your role quest in the crystarium for that class @leaden ginkgo
i thought u have potato internet
before you can get it
Well then it may be a technical problem
So thats the final artifact set?
And most have at most 3?
I downloaded the game yesterday or 2 days ago,it was fine speed
calamity salvager
there are so many ways to get seals its not worth it.
Ok thank u
Items bought from the calamity salvager cannot be exchanged for seals
but you can sell the Sylphic belt from them on the marketboard.
Prolly gonna be dirt cheap then tho
lean emote item tradable?
probably no
wait, as in, "can you buy it from other players via the marketboard"?
or "can i get it in game with in-game currency"?
board or trade
Ballroom etiquette - Winsome Wallflower, IIRC
Yup
wow, TIL
thanks @obsidian patio
What is the easiest way to share items and gil with a alt that is not on your friends list that is on the same world?
send it in the mail?
The only convenient way to transfer tradeable items and Gil between alts is to use an FC chest
Which requires both to be in the same FC
you cannot send it the mail
are there any botanist main/off hands that can be dyed?
If i join the archer guild when I'm level 15 as Lancer, will I be able to change fast so I can be a lancer again? or do I have to go back to the lancer guild to switch?
Yes I had before they fix the exploit some of my alts added to my friends list which is not possible anymore but for any new alts I guess I wll have to find a FC with a house that dooesn't mind trading in a FC chest I guess
@vernal plover you just equip a different weapon
to change class
or create a gearset
and switch between those
@vernal plover create a gearset
Oh, they made it seem super committed or something, they asked me to make sure i wanted to be an archer
you should get into a habit of using gearset
@drifting burrow nothing come to mind tbh
heck
How do I create one?
oki thank u ;w;
main hand maybe... offhand very unlikely
suiren, open your character info
look at the top right of your character
there should be a gearset icon there
Gearsets are a easy way to switch back and foth and recommended way to switch so you dont have to search for all gear when switching
Can someone tell me how I can find a free company to join on diablos server
you can create a partyfinder 🤷
or one of the #recruitment channels in this server
Is there a recommended search parameters for finding a company?
adjust the filter to your need?
am i able to move the umbral ice/astral fire thing
Yes.
h o w
Hud Layout > should be at the very bottom of the drop down menu
You can also adjust the size and make it into a simpler form
for how many function it has, i personally don't recommend simple mode
thanks
but it is still personal preference
elemental gauge at high level (70 onward) tracks 5 things
- your AF/UI stack
- time remaining on your AF/UI
- your Umbral Heart amount
- how long you have keep up your Enochian
- how many Foul/Xeno you have built from Enochian
depends on how low your level is
if it is just a tad lower, then it should be fine
Meanwhile at level 30
hehe it go red
hehe it go blue
im at like level 7 and im probably just gonna end up going as a healer job
that's fine
just know that the job-specific gauges are always parked at the bottom of your HUD settings
how do i get the dried fish into my inventory
@white sinew technically both if you’re solo and others are there which makes it harder to get credit for yourself
EXp and medal are evaluated by the contributions you made
so if your level is way too low, you just won't be able to do enough to hit the needed threshold
@old dock is this for a quest? If so then it should be in your key items
okay yeah i just got confused
key items is the last tab
yeah i gotcha
are they are FCs or groups that use voice on discord for raiding/dungeon-ing/shooting the crap around here haha
you pay for subscription...?
No reason to rebuy the base game, if you want ot continue playing the game just pay for a monthly, 3 month or 6 month sub based on what you can afford
yeah
trial -> standard account
then you start paying subscription for standard
trial is free with lvl 35 cap and social limitations

Does not having certain raids/trials/unlocked increase que times? like I only have the first 3 alliance raids unlocked so when I roulette I can only get those.
not really
Roulettes typically throw you in whatever queue needs it the most
even if it does, it is barely noticable
I have all the 24-mans unlocked and I still get the ARR ones half the time
unfortunately most of the time with alliance roulette people purposefully try to sink their item level in order to only do the A Realm Reborn alliance raids
plus other factors like: players are still going through HW/SB and haven't unlocked their alliances/raid/trials, or people don't know they are there, etc etc
how many challenge logs on average do i have to do for an enlistment paper to show up
how do I start the fate for the beast tribe mission?
Noct set comes from the Allied seal vendor at your grand company. You need a rank of Second Lieutenant or higher.
You can force it to spawn by doing other fates kn the area
What level does sastasha sync at?
there's a crafted set that similar to noct set, the Adamantite fending set for lvl 60
18
i think it synced to 18
Ty!
Is there a fast way to get Allied Seals (for second mount speed upgrade). Daily hunts only give like 8-20 and the weekly only gives 250. Just wondering since now there's flying too so wanted to know if this has been sped up any? Thanks.
find a hunt linkshell that calls out A/S ranks for ARR and do those
or level blu mage and do masked carnival/blu log
Okay thanks, also how do I find hunt linkshells. Never used them before
@void glen since youre on aether I recommend just joining the aether hunts discord
okay, thanks

what category under achievements would "I Made That (Worth Collecting)" fall under?
items > collectables
should dps die in steps of faith? other than me not running fast enough to an certain spot, i get wiped quick
you need to make sure you're not standing under his legs
Vishap can and will step on you. Does a lot of damage. Avoid his feets
if he steps on you, you take a lot of dmg
so make sure you're standing directly under his body to dps if you're melee
but that said, if you do die you can just release and run back
tanks do also need to pick up the adds (ideally pulling them to the front of the boss so they can be nuked by the cannons with the same shots that hit the boss), sometimes someone else will hit them and tanks just won't notice/pick them up haha
yeh, i die towards the end
and its either i dont run fast enough and get wiped or i get hit by something and die when im near him
realistically, as a dps there isn't much that you should be taking dmg from
especially if you're directly under his body
so its ok to die for that trial?
its not that big of deal but unless the tanks are being dumb, you shouldn't be dying
things that can kill you are 100% avoidable
well for that second part im pretty sure that it wasnt me getting stepped on or atleast i didnt see it
but i would normally be around half health and basically i can die to anything
What's the best Egi? I've heard people say Garuda is better than Ifrit
if you're really far back for some reason you might be outranging healing, and there's a few raidwide damage hits that might end up getting you. Otherwise if nobody uses the snares on the dragon he'll just kinda wipe the party, too
garuda is for AoE, ifrit is for single target, titan is for surviability/burst aoe
its not the healing because i would mostly be near them and nidhogg but whenever he attacks i would be half health and when hes fighting other ppl there might be a really quick aoe that hits around him
and wipe me
@silver iris dodge them
you should watch what he's casting and then you'll know where to go
it's not so much a dodging thing for regular steps of faith
@silver iris Are you doing Steps of faith or Final steps of faith
because they are two different instances
uh
i think its the normal one
nidhogg?
What boss are you fighting
nidhogg is not in the normal
Did the fight have cannons and a walking dragon or did you have a dragon turn into a guy
because Vishap is Steps of Faith, Nidhogg is Final Steps of Faith
dragon into guy
that's final
Thats final steps
o
oh, very different thing then
Yeah there's more thing to dodge there
watch what he's casting
it was my first so i didnt know what to look out for
This guy is level 50
a powerful monster
It means there is a hunt mob nearby
Should I fight him if I'm at the same level as him?
Specifically S rank i think
If its your first time doing final steps, then yeah its fine that you're going to potentially mess up because it has a lot of things going on
no
i dodged almost everything but the two problems were: me not reaching the circle fast enough which was my fault and the other one when im close to him and he does something and i die
the second thing is probably akh morn since that one gets a lot players because you have to stack, and stay stacked for awhile
because it repeats several times
What do these allied seals do?
there's also those fire orb things which I forget the name of, which get people sometimes
Buy things from the hunt quartermaster
i kill the fire orbs and everything else
The fire orbs explode
aery they're called scarlet price, idk if they're the same in final
And aren't targetting
Sable price i believe
but after he does all his attacks when hes flying he goes back on the ground normally the tanks fight him and im attacking but all of a sudden i die out of nowhere
sable price is the bind where ya gotta kill it before it kills the person
is there like a giant beam of light coming down when you die
no
is it a dot?
im not sure
is he flying in his dragon form or human form?
its after his human form
well, either way the main things to look out for are dodging scarlet price orbs, avoiding hot tail/wings, spreading when you get the red/purple arrow markers, and stacking and staying stacked for akh morn
when he turns orange/red
I just did the hunt and everyone's at the servant of splendors. Is there a reason
if you're hit by something it would show the name of the move you got hit by
as well as the damage
so if you could see that then you would know what's killing you
does it tell me in chat?
in your battle chat yeah but also as a floating message
It tells you on the flying text you have on your character
Where it shows your healing you're getting
And stuff
Is it the stack marker?
no
Nah he said it wasn't a beam of light
so the general order of mechanics that happen in that phase is like:
- he lands (minor damage)
- akh morn (party stacks to split damage, several big hits)
- fire orbs underneath him spawn, then AoEs under players that you have to move out of
- after you dodge out of the AoEs, then the fire orbs go off in a cross pattern
- he then does hot tail/wing where his sides or a line underneath him are safe
to sort of give you an idea of what's going on/timeline to figure out what you got hit by
And he cleaves the tank with a wide ass cleave occasionally
Ofc never really stand infront
- he then does hot tail/wing where his sides or a line underneath him are safe
yeah are you standing near the tanks kizu?
other than when everyone stacks for akh morn, of course
i think it might be that
- he then does hot tail/wing where his sides or a line underneath him are safe
those are very visible AoEs
the only thing not visible are the line AoEs from the fire orbs
yeah those are glowing orange fiery aoes
you'd probably know if you got hit by hot tail/wing
Though i guess with the general colour of the area they partly blend in but still pretty visible
And accompanied by a cast bar
wait hold on that was about in the air right?
oh nvm its not that
are you standing near the tanks or near his head?
its like sometimes when he fights the tank or whatever i would get hit with other people
no i stand at the tail

the cleave doesn't go off for a while in normal
if the tank turned him around then you would be near his head
it's like after the hot tail/wing
no it would be the tanks fault
Its been while since I've done nidhogg normal 
the cleave happens after all those mechanics I listed
Its the only thing to me that makes sense because its not a stomp, fire ball thingy
and it sounded like the death happened before those?
the death happens when he lands and we start attacking him again
he really doesn't cleave much in normal
if it's right after he first lands then it's akh morn
where he should be facing the party
But overall its a general good idea to pay attention to the flying text you receive as it will say "XXX attack: damage value" then you csn say what you died to
and everyone stacked together
you have to stay with the party for a fair bit when he does akh morn, because its a repeated attack
if enough people are not stacked together, especially if they run off, it increases damage done to everyone getting hit
its like 3-4 hits after the initial one
and is often fatal
the blast from the sky?
yes
then you have to be dying to the landing dmg
because there's nothing that happens right after he lands that will kill you outside of akh morn
And its basically impossible for tanks to lose aggro for it to be an auto attack...
Unless they die ofc..
I was alive when he landed but when he was fighting the tank
?
there aren't any
are you at full health and then dying or are you already at low hp?
before the akh morn
but i don't recall that happening right after the land
Already at low hp
it's literally touchdown -> few tank autos -> akh morn
when that happened
it might be a cleave
what do you guys think of hall of novice quest chain
no mechanic other than autos between landing and akh morn
should i skip it?
you should absolutely do it
you should do it
or is it worth the exp
it gives you good gear, teaches you some fundamentals, and gives you an exp bonus ring with solid stats that will last a long time
glad i asked, ok i'll do it then
If what rika said is true then it could be that a tank died and got hit because there was a few times nidhogg keeps turning or a cleave
there is not a cleave there
I even went back and watched a video of the fight to confirm
there is a akh morn that won't stop until it hits enough times
cleave happens much later after that string of mechanics, for normal
yes, we've been over this
so if people are spread around
he said he died before then
if you really and truly died before the akh morn started hitting, but didn't die to him landing, then the only other damage there is auto attacks. Which yeah, it's possible both tanks had managed to die during the transition and got raised, and you had top aggro at that point
auto from bad aggro management... maybe?
no
it would not be from bad aggro management
that's not realistically a thing anymore outside of deaths
keeping enmity is a trivial thing even if you barely press buttons haha
so the conclusion is not my fault
the boss don't need to face you to start auto-attack you
^
Do Gerolt's masterworks become relic weapons?
if you died before the akh morn, and did not get hit by the cauterize before he landed, then no there's nothing you could have done
you could check the in-game combat chat log to see what did you
but it scrolls by super fast
so not easy to find what happened
there's no other option for him dying
there is nothing else between the boss landing and the akh morn other than autos
yeah
@crimson wind nope
hello! just wanted to jump in really quick to ask for help regarding my game. i downloaded ffxiv on my imac using a windows bootcamp and while im playing the game suddenly crashes 30 minutes in. is there a way to fix this? 
Is ingrimm a relic weapon?
i often get crashes just for "internet" issues
Yes. InGrimm is the shadowbringers relic for WHM
@tender estuary can you help kitcat?
Where do I start relic weapon quest for shb?
my game isn't really laggy and i also turned all my graphics settings down or off bc i thought that was the problem
@terse edge I'll need more information than that
In kugane after doing all lv70 24man and finishing the quest line

yeah it does. everytime i close it and boot it back up it crashes 30 mins in

i was able to play a lil bit longer than 30 mins once i downloaded the directx 9 but it crashed still
do you think installing a mac fan control might help?
yeah I would monitor the temps
usually random driver issues happen pretty much instantly
PM me or ping me back if it happens again once you remedy the possible temperature issue
okay will do. thank you!!
np
Is there a way to have different action bar setups depending on which job i'm playing?
set hotbars to not shared
If you mean hud, you can set hud layout and gearset at the same time with macros
/micon "Gunbreaker" classjob
/gearset change 10
/hudlayout 4
i want to make the big hotbar in the bottom smaller / move it when i play another job
you can have up to 4 hud layouts
but you'll have to do what aril'thae said, and make a macro or keybind for it
oh, so I have to start a new hud layout from zero
?
well you can copy the layout into the other hud layout
Or copy the layout using the ... whichever button
and go from there
Gear to the right of the 1 2 3 4
Ah yes perfect! Thanks y'all!
in regards to my smn rotation if i fuck up a cooldown is it better for me to wait until it lines up in the point im supposed to use it according to the 2minute cycle
or should i just hit it once it comes up?
How long is the FFXIV MSQ to get to shadowbringers?
at a fast but still slow enough to enjoy the story pace, about a month
not including extra content
Ahh ok is there a rough hours estimate?
depends on if you start on a preferred server
since you'll have to run dungeons a few times for EXP if you're on a standard server
i'd say in the ballpark of 30-50 hours
How can you tell the difference between preferred and standard?
when picking a server there will be a star next to preferred servers
if you don't see any you'll have to change datacenters
so, i just came back from a long break and found out about the 8 days free login campaign
but when i logged in, it showed only 2 days?
did you grab that last week?
last week?
what's the best way to farm collectibles as a botanist?
i logged in yesterday😅
76
and you needed the collectible for?
yeah, that was wat i was thinking
yellow scrips
but i only got 2 on the login screen so...
let me call a <@&473626701947994134> here to help you on the free login stuff
alright, are you looking for most cost-efficient collectible to grab?
or optimal skill rotation to get good collectible?
optimal skill rotation
one sec
i'm still not sure how to balance out my gp ;w;
How much GP do you have?
721
It's typically discerning eye, impulsive appraisal, keep applying discerning eye as needed
there is a chart on this
Yep
but i dunno which command it is to grab it XD
I'll go get it off Reddit one sec
Can I post pics here?
Looks like I can do here
do i have to wait for my gp to regenerate?
I know it's 4.0 but it's basically the same
you can use cordial to restore them
is that the only other way
yup
The entire rotation is 600gp
leves
fastest is to buy levekit from other players and do leve
Yep
GC turn in is good daily bonus
oh that's also true
crafting leve and ishgard restoration (available once you hit Heavensward region) are your best choice
crafting beast tribe are decent daily bonus too
I leveled all my crafter's to about 65 via ishgard because I genuinely enjoy it
about that picture you sent about gathering rotations, does it matter which one i do? top/bottom?
whats the quickest way to lvl up around lvl 60-70
Top is if discerning eye stays on, bottom is if it falls off
O
it is a flow chart
discerning eye has proc
if it does, go green arrow
if it doesn't, red arrow
(did i made a DC joke?)
Kinda?
so best case scenario about my gp, i wait 3 minutes per potion?
Discerning Eye improves your Appraisal, a proc gives you a free Discerning Eye, so when you procs, you use Single Mind so you get one more collectible at the end
how do you guys handle your keys on the keyboard
Yep, also make sure to do your job quests because it increases your GP regen
im trying to figure out the most optimal binds
if Discerning eye doesn't proc to give you a free one, you apply Discerning eye manually, because getting high value collectible is better than getting more collectible
:o
Kizu, MSQ should keep you on track for levels, always make sure to do your daily duty roulettes too
ok
I leveled all my crafter's to about 65 via ishgard because I genuinely enjoy it
@full turret ?
so best case scenario about my gp, i wait 3 minutes per potion?
your GP will naturally recover too
Also Kate, if you go on https://www.ffxiv-gathering.com/ it has all the collectibles on it and when they spawn
A Final Fantasy XIV Gathering Clock for tracking available node locations.
but yeah, around that ballpark
Eye, for ishgard restoration you can turn in collectibles and it gives you crafter exp, I spent a bunch of time doing that
is there a release date for 5.3?
What do I do to fix the direct x 10000002 issue
Eye, for ishgard restoration you can turn in collectibles and it gives you crafter exp, I spent a bunch of time doing that
@full turret where
Eye, after you finish the heavensward main scenario there will be a quest in foundation to unlock it
you have to do the quest in ishgard
umm, so do i submit a ticket?
it's on a recruitment paper, blue quest
If you have a problem with subscription stuff, submitting a ticket sounds like the right thing to do @fast locust 🤷♂️
👍
Fun times
Hey guys
What r best way to level up alts besides dailies and fairy beast quest from 74?
Spam highest level dungeon
roulette then highest level dungeon
Ah how much it give?
Fair amount
highest level dungeon is 1/4th of a bar give or take
More than side quests?
Is heaven on high still good for it?
Wow that's dope
Everything gives more xp than quests
Fair
Thank u
HoH xp dies at 70
Hey all, is there a guide/resource I can use for gearing up an alt job?
!faq poetics
Ty!!
lvl 50-54, 60-64, 70-74
so I just got my first job (white mage), when do I get a cool white mage robe? 🤔
Roll on everything and keep it for the inbetween levels
in between you are free to get some dungeon gear if you want to
At 50 with your job gear
ty :_)
lvl 45 class quest give some of your job gear (item level 50, i think), lvl 50 class quest give you the rest of your i50 + a box with upgraded version (same model, but at item level 90, so more powerful)
I don't want to be wearing these ugly brown robes forever
I'm way ahead of levels for my MSQ should I wait until I can't get any further with the MSQ then start my subscription or am I wasting too much XP?
when you hit 50 you never have to wear anything you don't want to ever again
I'm currently lvl 34 doing lvl 24 MSQ
because you unlock Glamour Prisms then
I have 3 classes (whm, dancer, paladin) that can't keep up with the story level with just the roulettes. What's the best way for me to keep up? (currently level 65'ish)
but where I can get a chocobo issuance?
you buy it from your grand company quartermaster
where can i get voidrake from?
you can buy the seeds from your grand company to grow them in flower pots/garden if you have an apartment/house, or buy off the marketboard
I want to focus crafting towards WVR/LTW-- which DoL class should I make my retainer for materials?
okay thanks
I guess I should focus on leveling to 50 first before thinking about MB stuff?
at least 50, yes
personally i'd say even wait until you've caught up on the MSQ completely
how do I level DoL faster tho, I don't have that much free time to be running between nodes across the map and jumping to different areas for first-harvest bonuses

You could probably spend a lot of gil on stuff for levequests?
Do glamour plates make it so that when you find a better chest piece and equip it you don't have to transmog it again?
At 80
What should I be working towards
I have enough to just flat out buy neo ishgard but my friends told me not to do that
Do more MSQ is probably your top priority
I see
@silver vessel You'd have to reapply the glamour plate whenever you get new equipment.
Does that cost anything?
You can just do more MSQ, earn Phantasma Tomestone, and get gears that way, don't need to dump your gils into Neo Ishgardian
Do glamour plates make it so that when you find a better chest piece and equip it you don't have to transmog it again?
@silver vessel glamour plates are sets you can link to gearsets which will reapply when you change to the gearset
Glamour plate has one off cost from putting the gear into your glamour dresser
Using the plate has no cost
@warped nest right thanks alot
Ahh cool
But your original idea is correct
Plate will apply the look even when you change gear
Gears that are shared with different jobs can look different too thanks to glamour plate
So... why don't my glamour plates work that way?
Did you link the plate to the gearset?
And did you change gear inside cities or settlement
No and no
These two condition must be fulfilled for shared gears to automatically change look when you swap job
best way to level alt?
!faq altlvlguide
the short version is, when it comes to leveling alt jobs:
- Roulette: MSQ, Leveling, and alliance give good exp, trials/raid roulette is decent
- highest level dungeon you can queue into, but not lvl 50/60/70 dungeons (they were the endgame dungeons of their respective expansions, so their exp is no good)
- POTD/HOH, only if 1 and 2 has way worse queue time
For lvl 1-15 just do FATEs and what not
Does Lodestone account is standalone account from MOG station?
Like, it's exactly same adress on login?
your lodestone account is the same as your mogstation account
wtf then? why i can't log in D:
I depend too much on remember email function of browser and since site have exactly same adress, it's uses same stuff to fill it >_>
Same thing with me friend
For what it's worth, I had trouble with that too for a while. I do think it's a little confusing, but not quite enough that the community would be bothered enough to ask for streamlining
Maybe a little tooltip reminder on the login page
Not even just the email thing either, but remembering the username and such as well. If you've forgotten the username for example it can be difficult to find it again in my experience (or more difficult then it should be imo, anyway)
Don't even start me with this
There is so much stuff that would be "QoL" changes if SE would learn from other games 
Like, 1 account for shop, MOG station and Lodestone - but you use either email everywhere or ID
But as I said, a minor enough issue that it isn't a major problem
^ that's probably it yeah

is it true that monks never use tornado kick
not "never"
unless you're forced to lose your stacks by an extended stun, or the end of a fight, you can keep your stacks going and it's better to keep them
but it is very situational
mid-uptime, there's no reason to use it any longer like you used to
Been meaning to ask. Do ninja dotons (AOE DOT) stack? If they don't stack from the same ninja, do they stack for other ninjas?
