guys, for someone who's ready to level an alt after being a DPS on all previous MMO's - which healer/tank would you recommend to start with? I've been told a healer is better cuz I can see who fails mechanics etc. for learning purposes and I'm leaning towards the healer more too but can't decide which one
obsidian patio
Conjurer/White Mage is very nice for learning the ropes of healing as later on they are very MP efficient and have powerful healing spells.
leaden ginkgo
Just wanted to ask, is it somehow possible to hide the MP bar as a monk for example? I don't really have any use for that, It's just getting in my way.
obsidian patio
Scholar requires a bit more finesse but helps teaches you how to rely more on using your abilities for healing instead of your GCD heals.
next wind
okay - astrologian not as good then?
obsidian patio
They're good, but have a lot of complexity and fast reacting with their card system.
cursive flame
any point in levelling my chocobo?
obsidian patio
You can have it learn role-specific stuff like healing spells or extra damage
though it isn't a major concern
@leaden ginkgo nope. :\

Small question - I'm at the MSQ "The Light of Inspiration"
Do i have to finish the level 80 role quest as well to progress through it?
obsidian patio
Yes.

thank you~
obsidian patio
Make sure to talk to Grenoldt after completing that quest, as he gives you a set of i430 gear.

Is anyone else on Coeurl having server disconnection trouble at hte moment?
agile laurel
hi - just hit level 50 BLM - I assume when people refer to Flare twice in a row, that's somewhat dependent on lining up server ticks to give you a mana regen asap after flare x1?
jade zinc
You can use your gain 30% mana ability to flare again I think?
Do hearts work on flare?
lyric palm
hi, im not too sure if this is the correct channel to be asking, but does anyone here happens to have directx 11 crashes?
for example
jade zinc
@agile laurel Not a server trick. You can definitely cast flare, manafont, flare.
jade zinc
And it is a fire spell, so I think umbral hearts work on it.
jade zinc
Says fire in the description.
agile laurel
oh i'm reading foul lmao
jade zinc
Enhanced Umbral Heart reduces Flare's MP cost by 1/3rd according to the description.
Level 68 trait though.

Could maybe do fates and pixie beast tribes in between if you got long queue times

Daily or weekly
obsidian wren
Penalty?
rough lance
Like afk then fail to rdy up
obsidian wren
Ah, 30 minutes
rough lance
I only know it's 3 times
obsidian wren
Ya after 3 times y gotta wait 30 mins
Or after leaving a dungeon with a full party before completing
rough lance
After 30mins i can fail to rdy up another 3 times?
obsidian wren
Dunno if its 3x or just once
rough lance
Or everytime i fail I'll get 30mins again
obsidian wren
I'd personally recommend just accepting the queue

Havent played in roughly a year and wanted to start again. Didnt refresh the subscription yet but was still able to login (lvl 51 so past testversion) and am still able to play. What kinda restriction do I have until I refresh the subscription?

none. there is still a login campaign with free 8 days of playtime for people who were inactive for some months
forest lark

To be specific, it reduces the channel and recast time of spells

@dusky nest Thank you!
balmy apex
hey guys is there a way to craft weapons without getting the blacksmith level?
dusky nest
depends on what weapon you want
staffs for whitemages for example can be done by a carpenter
opal shoal
books are all Alchemist
dusky nest
but if you want a sword or something that the blacksmith has to craft, then ofc you need to level the blacksmith so you can do it
obsidian wren
could ask someone to craft for you if you supply the mats i guess
balmy apex
thank you! its a katana but i havent levelled blacksmith at all so wondered if there was a way around it like trading the materials to someone
obsidian wren
can also just check the marketboard for that katana
twilit arch
can shout in a major city that you're looking for someone to craft it for you
and that you'll provide the mats
dusky nest
i wonder, is scamming people like that also punished by SE or do they also take the "you fault" approach to that?
obsidian wren
i believe they can get punished if you got the chatlogs to back you up
fresh lodge
As long as its legal, SE will enforce player agreements
dusky nest
nice
jade quartz
Yeah just make sure the agreement is clearly stated in chat
balmy apex
thank you guys, sorry if it was a silly question but im kinda new haha

Hello guys, I have been playing the steam version since the begining. Let's imagine I want to play the non-steam version
If I login with my SQEX account I can keep playing with me progress, right?
obsidian wren
unless you're gonna play on PS4 or MacOS you can't do that
twilit arch
You could make a new service account under your mogstation account, but you'd basically be starting all over again
next wind
hey guys just levelling a healer class whats the minimum for potd? and dungeons its 16 right?
obsidian wren
you can directly boot the launcher without running it from steam if you'd like
twilit arch
once you've unlocked palace of the dead, you can start from lvl 1
and for dungeons, min level is 15
next wind
oh really
so I can unlock with my main class
and then join from low level as a healer?
twilit arch
mhm
obsidian wren
doing potd won't give you proper experience on how to play healer though
scarlet compass
@obsidian wren just to be sure if I play on windows I can keep my progress no matter if I play the steam version or the non-steam version
obsidian wren
and dungeon queues on healers are pretty fast so those are often faster xp
obsidian wren
you can't activate a non-steam windows key if you have already activated a steam windows key
dps tend to do potd since dps queues for dungeons are pretty long
twilit arch
Like I said, you add another service account to your mogstation account
obsidian wren
so thats why its often preferred for them
twilit arch
but you're starting all over again
because service accounts do not interact with each other
next wind
okay gotcha I haven't tried potd yet so will give it a go until lvl 16 and then continue with dungeons
thanks
scarlet compass
@twilit arch so I will always be able to keep my progress only if I play in a steam version, right?
obsidian wren
those are pretty fast xp too at low levels
twilit arch
yes, the only way to keep progress is to continue with your steam service account
scarlet compass
@twilit arch let's imagine I lose acess to my steam account
if I create another steam account and buy the game, I can keep play?
right?
next wind
yea I did them already
twilit arch
should? afaik, your mogstation account info is all that matters when it comes to actually logging in but you need to buy from steam to be able to play the expansions if you don't have them
since steam is just like all the other pc sellers, it gives you a cd key
scarlet compass
@twilit arch yes, Imagine I create another steam account and buy the game with the dlc's
in that case am I able to keep playing with my progress?
twilit arch
yes that should be fine

Its RDM's main stat, so just focus on getting a higher ilvl

same way you went to another world, you click on the aetheryte and select your home world

ShB relic weapon takes 0 time whatsoever
forest lark
Really?
leaden ginkgo
Mhm
wintry chasm
The grind there would be the crystarium gear since it's weekly capped tomestones
leaden ginkgo

Doing the quest for the first time gets you the weapon straight up, after that it's only 1000 poetics

And then you can just get subsequent ones for poetics without the grind

Basically, you bonk the node with your collectable rotation. Then you click the aetherial reduction button and it blends the collectable into some crystals/clusters/aethersands based on the collectability rating
sturdy glacier
Ah, right! Sand!
It's rough, course and gets everywhere. And is also useful for crafting.

You can hoard for ither classes/ sell to vendor/ turn it in for gc seals (dungeon gear) if you're high enough rank/ bin it/ desynthesis (if you have crafters levelled for it
Path of least resistance is to throw it all out

so out of those

gc seals or desynthesis is the most efficient?

tribal wave
any advice on improving slide-casting?
obsidian wren
It's pretty much just practise nemo
obsidian wren
You got ~1 second to slifecast without cancelling the cast, depending on latency
little swift
You practice and see how much you can get away with
You basically try as much as you can, if you clip or miss a cast/ cast late, dial it back a tad
sick zenith
For me its 0.50
tribal wave
and uh this is more of a smn-specific ask but do I just pop devotion on cooldown even if it's around 8-9s before burst phase?
sick zenith
Once i get to half a second left i can move and keep casting
tribal wave
just starting trying my hand at it lately and wanted to get some more tips
(time to adjust cast bar sizes then hehe)
faint flare
You generally keep it on cooldown
tribal wave
do you mean it's ok to keep it until burst?
faint flare
But if its like really close to a burst then you can hold it slightly
Holding it unnecessarily can lose uses in the fight
You use devotion on cooldown, most the time it is naturally lined up with other raid buffs due to its cooldown
tribal wave
gotcha gotcha
faint flare
If you know for sure you'll never get another use of it, say the final few minutes of a fight you can hold it for a big burst with pots and stuff but that goes into discussing with your group on raid buff alignments
tribal wave
ah, pots
my net worth is 15k atm so I probably should start looking into raw materials lmao
but thanks! I'll look into improving my opener and etc.
normal kelp
Ahoy my peeps, my girlfriend and I are playing this and she is playing Black Mage (now level 32) and its her first MMO. She finds the class a bit slow, does it pick up a bit? Or is there a class maybe thats better for starters with ranged DPS? I'm also new but played alot of MMOs and tanking
faint flare
Do keep in mind most/all fights this tier favour trance rushing opposed to the standard 2min cycles
Due to mechanics and forced downtimes
Black mage is the turret class with big boom booms. Most jobs are slow at the start due to lack of kit and all do pick up later. Black mage spefically gets Leylines to increase their spell speed for a time and triplecast to make their next few spells instant @normal kelp
Can always try out Red mage and Dancer at lv50 and 60 respectively as they start with majority of their kit
normal kelp
@faint flare ah okay interesting thanks for the info, she was just worried about it staying slow. Even in the MSQ she has trouble cause of constant interrupts and gets a little frustrated
Alright, I'll let her know about those
tribal wave
it's worth investing in a secondary job for msq usage since you'd mostly be dpsing in them
faint flare
Solo black mage can be slightly iffy but with keeping up gear you'll generally kill most stuff as it reaches you
little swift
Shes also welcome to switch classes if shes not enjoying jt
normal kelp
@little swift thats kind of why I was asking, wondering if maybe there was something else worth trying.
and thats true
the chocobo would help
little swift
Whatever is of interest
normal kelp
She likes ranged since shes new to PC gaming and what not, lets her not worry about positions up close as much
little swift
If she likes casters she can try arcanist/summoner first since thats currently available
Red mage later
normal kelp
Alright, think that'd be a good one to try then
normal kelp
yeah i getcha. whats a good way to level up newer classes w/o the msq?
Fates and Leves?

sorry if im noob but what is savage?
halcyon rune
430 is the baseline for Lv 80.
junior yacht
ilvl always makes a big jump once you get access to current tome gear
leaden ginkgo
ah ok, and do i need to level my crafting or anything to get this gear?
tribal wave
well not crafting per se
battle ilvl and stats are usually what you have to increase for savage
tribal wave
the entry level gear for savage currently are either the neo-ishgardian sets which can be crafted or bought from MB, or the ruby extreme weapons +memoria misera extreme armor sets which are trial only
that's for e5-8s anyway, augmented deepshadow are enough for e1-4s iirc
little swift
By far easiest to obtain is the memoria misera weapon
little swift
Its free the first one
tribal wave
ah heck I already forgot about that haha

Is it worth to buy neo-ishgardian set at lvl 80?

wintry chasm
||Matoya Cave sidequests||
Other than that I can't think of any missing outside of Shadowbringers stuff
gaunt raptor
Im in the middle of stormblood rn, is it possible for me to finish shadowbringer before the next patch drop?
wintry chasm
Easy

Oh 2 months?

If not more
iron hornet
im lvl 70 now and i have 2k allagan tomestone of poetics. Should i spend them on some decent lvl 70 gear or should i keep them or buy something else
plucky mason
Spend them
Theyre so easy to get
Im constantly capped
Get lvl 70 gear and then get augmented gear
I mean
Actually no
Thats too much work
dense meadow
@iron hornet get yourself some scaven gear. augementing it will last you till the 3rd ShB dungeon where that gear is upgrade from that.
iron hornet
cool ok thanks! i shall do that :9
gaunt raptor
Any mmo mouse recommendations? Rn now using only keyboard, and its like an Olympic sport just reaching all the different buttons lmfao
dense meadow
Ps4 controller. Better keyboard layout. Corsair MMO mouse (I use that, 12 buttons on the side)
leaden ginkgo
also, Shift/control + keyboard button
Judging from the way you phrased that, I'm not sure you're doing that ^ @gaunt raptor
vapid scarab
Youtube it, there's a good video on MMO mouse recommendations for people playing FFXIV
🙂
I think the razer naga is the top rec
gaunt raptor
O ic
lament citrus
@iron hornet with 2k poetics u can get i390 gear but for weapon u need to clear O12N to get item needed for weapon
dense meadow
with Corsair MMO mouse. I can hit 12 buttons with my right thumb and hitting shift/alt/ctrl with my left pinky allows for 48 buttons to access.
@lament citrus incorrect you can just buy it with poetics in other tab
clever cave
Too many buttons
dense meadow
you have to trade it in to get the weapon tome
lament citrus
No need to do clear alphascape v4? That's great
dense meadow
yeah
little swift
@lament citrus its 500 poetics for the 390 now
dense meadow
then another 100 to augement
little swift
400 for the "rowena's token (genesis)"
100 for military grade tomestone
100 for scaevan ester or whatever its called
no clears required
lament citrus
I really need to check everything after patches
@little swift pre 5.0 u have to clear alphascape 4.0 for weapon
little swift
yes that was correct
its how e8n works for the crystarium weapon currently
or e6s
leaden ginkgo
can i block people so i dont get matched with them?
keep getting matches with the same trolling idiot in potd
lament citrus
Yes
sturdy glacier
I was talkign with a cool person in the Diadem, and once I left I can't seem to send them a message or a friend request (says it can't find a character of that name) - anyone know why? :(
lament citrus
U both need to be same server@sturdy glacier
dense meadow
@leaden ginkgo social -> contacts -> right click on said name and blacklist from there
leaden ginkgo

lament citrus
So u will need to go to their server
little swift
keep in mind you can't stop them from joining party finders that you join
it just stops them from showing up in your roulettes
lament citrus

little swift
you can add people who aren't on your server
they have to be online

so the same server tactic works best

lament citrus
@gloomy condor if u finish 90 days even in preferred world it will be gone

Sorry for going back to a prior question, but the last I was aware, blacklisting did not block DF matching. Did that change at some point?

Not in any patch notes i seen. It still only blocks PF afaik.

Where is a good place to hunt for a FFXIV guild/clan that doesn't require a application as if I am applying for a job.

Thanks, just wanted to make sure I hadn't missed anything.
mystic veldt
Just hang around in any big City and random people will start inviting you to their guilds. Mind you they're probably crappy guilds
onyx kiln
also, my cursor is gone in game
or not? what is going on here?
one second it was gone, now it s back.
lament citrus
R u using controller?
onyx kiln

The white/black mana thingy gets confusing at the start but once you get the hang of it it's quite easy at least at lvl 50
Have fun jumping up and down
desert osprey
so far i've played just as a white mage
mystic veldt
I played only PLD up to lvl 50 then I grabbed RDM, SAM and BLU. So far RDM is my fave

olive lintel
Guys, what is eureka?
marble drift
I thought you were asking it would give like a duplicate copy
A pain in the ass.
but...really
a special set of zones in which different combat rules apply
and levels.
it was how you obtained the relic weapon for Stormblood
fair tangle
what is the point of Eureka? Is there rewards that are worth going there for or something?
marble drift
also how you get a fancy mount (literally a circle)
it used to offer raid comparable gear
it now only offers glam.
fair tangle
AH ok.
marble drift
You can get lucky and make some money with drops of course for the people who still farm it
but mostly just superficial stuff.
and I wasn't lying btw. the fancy hard to get mount
is a ball
that is sometimes a cube
fair tangle
hahah.
marble drift
I personally think its real dumb
fair tangle
Thanks for the info!
marble drift
👍🏻
fair tangle
Always wondered about it...never got around to trying it
marble drift
If you have a bunch of free time it'll definately be something to do.
to get said Ball/Cube mount you'll need a party however.
not soloable. need a whole bunch of people

During gpose is their a way to play an emote and change facial expression?

How do you craft the replica ones.. i can't seem to find Replica Sky Pirate's stuff
marble drift
those are purchased with Skybuilder's Scrips iirc?
obsidian patio
Yeah the replica sky pirate recipes are unlocked from Ishgard restoration and should be with the turn-in recipes
marble drift
real talk tho isnt the base skypirate stuff cheap as shit? whats the difference? the real stuff was always dyable
obsidian patio
Replica is All-class and level 1
marble drift
ah. makes more sense.
obsidian patio
But yeah, the normal version is much cheaper if you’re using it for the same role

Can I spam Dun Scaith to get diabolic gear?
marble drift
Yes
remote lintel
there's no weekly limit on that

After a raid no longer starts giving out gear that is at least comparable to basic tome stuff its lockout gets removed
maybe a bit sooner.
sand flame
I really want the casting hat and chest
marble drift
so any raids from old expansions are all just infinite loot per week
sand flame
Thank god lol

Yo, returning player here - whats the best way to find an FC?

We have recruiting channels here for your data center.

Trust me. Thats not how it works down in the JP Datacenters

are the eden verse drops once a week?
marble drift
for the moment yes
They will be lifted in a future patch
do what I did and join the biggest FC on your server. Generally people will call out that stuff in FC chat 😛

do u get a visible buff for another class ? (when u have a lvl 70 class )
or do u just get it
like does it show up with other buffs like road to 70
hope this makes sense

@leaden ginkgo r u talking bout armory buff?
leaden ginkgo
um not sure its called that
like for a secondary class?
like war pala
ast
that type
lament citrus
Yeah it's hidden
leaden ginkgo
ty 🙂
lament citrus
It's called armory buff
lament citrus
Ur will work if u use any battle job as long as it's not highest level job u have
twilit arch
its not hidden per se
as when you gain experience it tells you in the chat log "You have gained X experience (%%)"
so while there's no visible buff on your bar, when you're on a job below your highest it'll be shown in that percent portion
leaden ginkgo
makes sense ty 🙂
twilit arch
so if you're like on a lv30 and you see "You have gained X experience (100%)", that's the armoury bonus (also assuming no other bonus is affecting you)

@fluid tinsel so long as you have them on your friends list, you can give them permissions to your house. But when it comes to the 45 auto demolish (which is currently turned off), the person who owns the house has to enter to reset it. I would also say that right now it's probably not going to be easy to find an open plot to buy because the auto demolish feature is turned off
