is arcanist viable with no specing into pets?
there are no specs
you'll get the class pets/egis as you level and do job/class quests
Is there an option to show only my dots/rebuffs on monsters?
questions abt which job to pick
i love summoner with all my heart
what other dps would i enjoy
you can adjust your hud layout settings @lavish raven
Thanks
@leaden ginkgo your other magic options include redmage (unlocked at lvl50) or blackmage (thaumaturge as the base class)
things i like the most are the gratification from doing my rotation perfectly + how satisfying the effects feel
yeah im not really into the whole staff thing
yeah!
i just wanna have magic in my hands.. idk if u understand
was playing rdm/dnc but the rotation didn't feel super satisfying
so for the one minute kinda rotation you can go for GNB (a tank) or SAM (a melee)
arcanist was really close
for a repeatable 11(?) GCD rotation try dragoon
oh
also Paladin has a 1minute rotation sorta
that bounces between magic and physical phases
i just wanna have magic in my hands.. idk if u understand
@leaden ginkgo i understand but i'm not sure that this game has what you really want
pretty much every caster is going to utilize their weapon as part of their spell casting, there's nothing really done with just your hands
ooo i think i'll try drg and gnb, dragoon spears hella cool
maybe monk? because everyone sorta memes that melees are muscle mages?
do you only get 1 fantasia the whole game for free?
yes
yes
wait so its not like where u buy the game and get up to the latest expansion for free?
I see thanks man I need moar
i wanna be a fkin red mage
how do i unlock white scrips? do i have to be lv 80 DOL/DOH first?
Yes you need to be lv80 to start earning white scrips
wait so its not like where u buy the game and get up to the latest expansion for free?
@leaden ginkgo you have to purchase the base game + the latest expansion (or the complete edition) to get everything
mmm
How can i get to Northwestern Pavilion?
do ninjas actually weave handsigns in the game?
yes
@rancid cloak that's inside diadem
cause thats kinda what im going for, full metal alchemist type thing
diadem is accessible from inside the Firmament which is in Ishgard
full metal alchemist doesn't have hand signs
i seen there was a fma event on this game actually
yes it does ;-;
transmutation signs
but the main character can just use hand signs which is really rare
doesn't he just clap his hands together every single time
I've also never heard of this fma event
@little swift how do i get there?
what takkun said
- can i go solo?
@rancid cloak yes
ninja uses Naruto hand signs
i looked up alchemist to see if it was anything like in fma and there was an event
but i think its just more for crafting
that's a transmog
yes, that gear is still obtainable
just someone being very clever with current in-game gear
they're basically just points of interest
This might be a weird question, but where do people.... talk? I just started and it seems like there are players but it feels like a ghost town
limsa
yeah but most of the chatter is going to be in private channels, like free company or linkshells
For me New Gridania is the Afk zone, but I talk in my FC
glamour question: apart from the quon/ao dai pants, are there other pants that resemble bell pants? especially ones that can be dyed
you might find some people using /shout or /say in a place like limsa
but generally, most people aren't going to be
yes
pretty much every caster is going to utilize their weapon as part of their spell casting, there's nothing really done with just your hands
yeah but i cant just use a sword?
no
so theres pre req for red mage?
AFAIK the only job that has an "invisible glamour" for their weapon is monk but they don't cast spells
be level 50
Yes lol
yes, the weapons are tied to the job
You switch jobs by switching weps
can i mine grade 2 skybuilders' rock salt as lvl 62 miner?
this sure aint skyrim boys
or do i need a higher lvl?
@gleaming isle yes
pick up the rapier, you're a red mage. pick up a katana, you're a samurai
@leaden ginkgo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3euww_EefYM
Red Mage doesn't give a ver-fuck. Thanks to my beautiful stream for the song idea!

My equipment ► https://www.amazon.co...
this is what their weapon looks like
There are main hand equips and off hand equips depending on the job
when they cast spells they put the rapier part and the rotating crystal part together to turn it into a staff and cast
only PLD has main hand/off hand and even then its strictly sword and shield
thats not for me
yeah sword and board
probs what its gonna be
so i can't use offhand for spell casting as pally?
only tanking?
I thought conjurer did too or was that thamaturge
Shields for them are a dated thing that only exist in early ARR
only existed in ARR.
@raw zodiac conjurers and thaumaturges both had shield options early on but they no longer have those options in any content over 50
would go bard if i could use sword and board
Hi, I accidentally joined a Duty Roulette while a tutorial popped up. I wanted to check it out again, where can I find it again?
just tired of paladin
they stop existing entirely past patch 2.2
@leaden ginkgo no bards cannot use swords, the weapon is tied to the job
Oh that makes sense I just finish 2.0
@wind kindle do you remember which tutorial it is?
System > Active Help i think @wind kindle
I have to do the slog fest next
The Bard thingy.
there is one in the active help and there is another one in the ? sign under your actions and traits
Yeah, I typed BARD, no results.
Job gauge is the one in actions and traits
@wind kindle https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/jobguide/bard/
if you scroll down to job gauge it should be the same one
Oh! That! Thank you, @polar hound , @whole wasp and @static yacht
Appreciate it. thank you.
Quick question, does the buffs a dancer brings out weigh dps
no
hhmm, anyone know why I can't turn in these Ice Stalagmites? Haven't done a Land scrip thing yet?
because they're not collectables
which tank has the second best damage output?
You didn't collect them as Collectible
you have to gather them as collectables
So are there any guides that exist for gear after ARR for 50+ that doesn’t require tons of gill? Because my ilvl is 80 at lvl 51.
Tako, they're all fine
how do you do that?
!faq poetics
Fried spoon, read that
Ight thanks
oh nice good to know
But iirc PLD has second highest in savage tier?
@gentle marten at the highest level, I think it is either DRK or PLD
Damage difference between the tanks is minimal.
thanks, had no idea
But don't stress over doing more dps on a tank
We talking 2-3% variation from highest to lowest tank
Do your job right and you're good
ty!
and change percentile
i will, i'm trying to play drk right now
but realistically its like 2-3% difference only if you're within the 0.0001 percentile

The red scrip is obsolete, but the info in the video is solid, @blissful elk
is there like a document for macros
awesome thanks man
Nope.
How much of ARR does the free trial include?
I’m just now figuring out hunting log exist lmfao
Saw a video today talking about it
Free trail is till level 35
ARR is level gated to level 49 for the final part (I think)
ARR is gated to lvl 50
Then you hit 50 and do 2.0+
2.X are part of ARR
http://dimensionaldeath.com/index.php?page=huntinglogs @gleaming isle
Hunting Log Guide
I’m pretty sure I entered last dungeon at 49
the last two dungeons of ARR is 50
Oh ok so I'm doing the free trial right now and I'm assuming I should buy the game when I get to level 35 right?
Castrum Meridianum and Praetorium
Yes, if you want to commit
If you are still unsure, you are free to level other classes
I'm definitely sure, I've been hooked to the game the entire weekend
You can buy early if you don't want to deal with the social limitations on the Trial ver
just be advised that after buying the game, you cannot go back to free trial and exp gained after lvl 35 will not be given back to you
is it possible for PLD to solo Coil of Bahamut at lv60 with the best gear of HW?
Probably not, Kobito
D:
Oh ok. And would it make sense to buy the starter pack, finish ARR, and then but Shadowbringers? Or should I just but the complete edition?
@gleaming isle if you have all the aethernet shards in uldah you can just teleport into it
Either or, Darth
Kk thanks for answering my questions
You will find a stairs around north/east side of the inner ring in uldah
does duty difficulty really matter?
For dungeons, not exactly. Hard mode dungeon refers to the same ish dungeon but remix
For everything else yes
oh no i mean like for quests where you rp as someone
No
sweet
There is no difference in rewards etc.
alright

is there a way for me to see if my retainer has successfully sold some items without being near a summoning bell and checking their inventory?
If you are at the screen it'll say x has sold for y money
which screen? im in the middle of nowhere rn and i rlly dont wanna go back near a summoning bell
oh so i have to be present at the exact moment it sells in order for me to know
not really cause it stays in the message box
Yes otherwise you need to go to the bell
i only have general battle and event
It'll show up under general
it's in general and event I'm pretty sure
@gleaming isle to check your equipment? your character profile
ah well no way in hell im finding it in event i just did like 20 msq there's so much dialogue
which merchant sells potions?
@gleaming isle if u rly want some check mb they are rly cheap
market board
Hey, I'm new to dancer and had a question about rotation at lvl 60 - should I be dancing off cooldown or less often since the buff from dancing lasts a minute?
Dance on cooldown
Damage increases from the dance buff is minimal compared to the damage you deal from the dance
^ both of your dances, standard and technical, are huge damage and aoe.
ok, thank you
Can you make good $$ from fishing?
depends on the market
though you can make good profits by focusing the current aethersand fish
you cannot use hide during combat
Hide in FF14 is weird
Later on you get a skill called suiton that lets you cast trick attack without hide
Consider it more like a Mudra Refresh, and Open World "Opener"
no
It is useful
it just has niche uses
refreshing mudra charges
I mean if he has no ninjutsu yet it is pretty useless lol
you use it before a battle
!action hide
You cannot cast trick attack without hide
Blend in with your surroundings, making it impossible for most enemies to detect you, but reducing movement speed by 50%. Has no effect on enemies 10 levels higher than your own, or certain enemies with special sight. Additional Effect: Restores 2 charges to all mudra Cannot be executed while in combat.
Effect ends upon use of any action other than Sprint, or upon reuse of Hide.
you need it for trick attack
Until you get suiton
I mean to be fair <=<
Hide Trick Attack just does not work
At all
Like it works open world, and only open world
“Restores two charges to all mudra”
wrong
Just leave it on your bar
You basically use huton to put it on, maybe doton if the boss can be pulled into it, and then use hide to get the charges back
For once you hit 45
trick attack can be used off cooldown during bossfights once you hit lvl45
Blend in with your surroundings, making it impossible for most enemies to detect you, but reducing movement speed by 50%. Has no effect on enemies 10 levels higher than your own, or certain enemies with special sight. Additional Effect: Restores 2 charges to all mudra Cannot be executed while in combat.

this one
It's not but if you're still a rogue then it won't feel useful right away
Ninja is where it's really important
It’s there for class flavor and some class quests
its used in the class quest too
Mini side wonder:
Should i throw or store my lvl 80 Relic Armor? <o<
If i dun need it for glamour
You can easily get it back from grenoldt
is A1s still the best for the anima weapon quest?
I do recall that in previous expansions, you could 'upgrade' the relic armor
Still likely or frankly uncertain?
A9S is the best for anima
the dyeable version for af4 is from the memoria misera EX trial
ShB the relic armor upgrade is a seperate item tied to the EX trial
Hades EX, roughly?
Pretty easy, I’d say about harder than ruby ex
Gimme a 1 to 5 of "Fresh 80"
An oof to me
You also need a minimum ilvl of 470 for it.
Relic armor
Hello guys I just bought a game code from a site for shadowbringers , where do I activate the product?
make sure you've finished your 70 alliance raids so you can start your 80 relic weapon
!faq mogstation
relic armor is a seperate drop
@maiden palm
you don't augment the existing armor
Right
So ill toss what i got, cus no need for glamour, and can re-obtain in that guy
Thanks. :O
you can equip it to your retainer!
@little swift I signed in but I can't find the tab where I can redeem my code..
Ok ty
I'm currently using the free 8 day trial thing, if I sub, does it get added to the 8 days?
You can trade commendations for other items
For example current crafted with 5 guaranteed materia slots, the "Ornate" versions
oh I see
mind you, what you can get depends on the type of commendation
Ya, you can check with Khloe
you can double check at khloe to see what each one gives
is there anything besides gear
materia
well not specifically materia but the clusters to trade for it
@naive trench your free days will be used up before your sub kicks in
Can my shadowbringers expansion code be used as a account upgrade from free trial or do I need to buy the game first
cheers @twilit arch
you need the base game first before you can make use of the expansion code @maiden palm
But doesn't shadowbringers comes with all the previous expansion and 30 days free?
no
yes
Hmmm
doesn't come with 30 days free
well. previous expacs
it doesn't come with the base game, which is required for the expansions
Is 2 OGCDs the limit before clipping starts to happen?
Generally yes
Depends on your GCD speed
shadowbringers is ONLY dlc, so you need the base game
!faq weaving
Oh hey thanks
So I need to sub and then use it
you can't even sub without the base game anyways
then use the shadowbringers code
Wait a sec I don't see anything on what that kupo bot posted Industrial
hm
https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/598630005999796233/600432765250568262/GCD_v._3.png this is the image for that faq
Ok ty ❤️
I have 46 cracked stella clusters and didnt know
the 30-days of gametime is part of the BASE game
how can I spend them wisely?
just buy whatever materia you like.
you can use them fro materia
you get crap tons of them over time
if you want you can sell those materia
things like crit/direct hit/det/spell speed/skill speed are always needed
yea. crit is usually in demand. check the marketboard btw
it says complete edition tho.

yeah idk why it says that on the site
it says complete edition but the guy didn't get the base game
-_-
¯_(ツ)_/¯
I mean that site looks shady as fuck
then don't
buy from square enix you doofus
buy it off newegg or something if you really want
The only sites I'd recommend are the SE store, Steam, Humble Bundle, Amazon, Newegg, or your local major retailer
The description says it includes ARR
where?
But I would avoid it cause its sketchy af
On the link that alex posted
He didnt post the entire description
oh
still tho
i mean if you trust the site go for it
if it can confuse us then it's probably not good
yea. still sketch AF. up to them.
there's no such thing as shadowbringers "complete edition"
Iv bought many times from that site but yeah the description confused me
to be fair SE doesn't exactly clarify the differences between complete editions
which is slightly annoying
i mean there's regular shb and shb collector's edition but no "complete edition"
because shb is already "complete"
Is what you want from squenix
^get that
not from the NA store though
oh yeah he's eu
Yeah not from NA lol
Ok ok
um
that's odd
I can't find the complete edition on the EU store
oh no wait there we go
that's starter
Here's the EU complete edition
Do u get any rewards or something the more time u sub
yes
Like recognition
recognition?
You get glamours
you get items
some cosmetics basically.
Oh sweet
does every server have a housing shortage? my server has 1 vacant plot being camped by multiple people
1 plot...among all 4 housing districts?
yep
it's not a shortage
big doubt
at least one of the guys camping it is running a bot
between what
only 1 plot for sale on the server but "This plot of land is not yet ready for purchase"
between vacant and frozen
normally people will get kicked out of their houses when they're inactive
but that's not happening right now
so open plots are hard to get
@tough patio depends entirely on the server population as well
so it's more difficult than usual to get land
Hey, I want to try FFXIV out, coming from WoW currently
or is SE intervening somehow
people don't have time to log into the game so square enix froze their houses for them
because they're busy dealing with life
!faq trial
SE has disabled the auto demolish timer due to the pandemic
!faq gotrial
i thought more people were playing and less busy since life is on halt
hey everyone! i'm new and my friend and i have been dungeon grinding as tank/heal. i've noticed from level 15-50 that there have been 99% physical drops. each dungeon we run sees him equipping a new set of gear, and i generally get no loot. is this incredibly bad RNG, or am i missing something?
interesting. so it's going to be impossible to get housing in ffxiv basically
Incredibly bad RNG
for now, robot
oof
well thanks for the info, guess i'll try again in 6.0
good thing i didn't sub yet lol
later on, in levelling dungeons you are guaranteed a piece of gear into your inventory on completion of the dungeon @fast jolt
I'd recommend hitting up the market board, or spending some Grand Company seals if you need upgrades but haven't been getting any from dungeons
@fast jolt bad rng, I believe starting... level 51? Dungeons you will 100% get an assured piece of loot by the time you finish the dungeon
thats correct takkun
oh okay. that's a nice addition
I've tried downloading the free trial and made an account and everything but it keeps saying my bday is invalid and I need a one time password
you don't need a one time password
thanks Takkun!
not sure how your birthday could be invalid though unless you're somehow entering it wrong
It's worth noting once you hit 50,60,70,80 dungeon gear becomes obselete
nope, just entering my legit bday and it keeps saying it's invalid for whatever reason
you might be putting in mm/dd instead of dd/mm, or vice versa
ok?
unhelpful cerb
it was sarcastic
Hi. is there a discord for hunts?
@gleaming isle I advise against putting your combos and stuff on a macro. The macro system is antiquated and can not do decimal points for time. Meaning all of your skills will come out slower. On top of that it doesn’t queue those skills properly either. Reducing your overall effectiveness by a noticeable degree.
yes
!faq macrogcd
@gleaming isle one button combos do not exist
i can link you it
no
??
they never existed for regular content
PVP has them but it's also PVP
and no, you can't use PVP commands in PVE and vice versa
then dont play and eat
click your keys then
dps
this is very odd
bard does not heal
so I figured the birthday out
problem is, now I can't reset my ID
they have supporting skills, but they are dps
I can reset my pass just fine and change it, but whenever I change it and enter the correct password, it doesnt let me login due to incorrect ID or pass
are you entering your username or email
are you trying to login with an email
yes, there's a difference
did you do "forget username or password"
SE store or SE account
I don't remember and I did, but all that does is ask me to change password
yes, there's a difference
my char is still doing 2.x quest, I have all the expansions, is there any way for me to get in Ishgard to buy things from NPC shops there?
Trial launcher or full launcher
do the msq @nimble rain
Trial launcher
@nimble rain short of actually doing the MSQ no
not without progressing the msq far enough to unlock ishgard
are there any servers with open plots or is every server full on housing
@tough patio JP and EU servers probably have some plots
yea, might be because it's a trial launcher, all I was trying to do was test the game out before I bought it
possible to transfer from NA to EU?
@tough patio 18 dollars and +100 ping but yes
@slate arrow tyvm
magic please stop
thats not the issue magic
thats not the issue
id recommend against watching tutorials on youtube, actually
a vast majority of yt videos contain inaccurate/outdated information
because that's not related to the issue at all
Yea, so background info, I got the trial launcher a couple months ago to try and see what it was like for myself and whether I liked the controls and whatnot, made my username and pass then. Was not able to get in at the time so said forget it But left the trial launcher installed on my comp. So now I have my password reset so I know that, but I just can't recall my username i used and it doesn't seem there is a way to reset it
Steam
Is there any comprehensive guide for gathering and crafting? All youtube videos are mostly 4-5 yrs ago and the rest are just powerleveling them
is your mogstation account tied to your steam account
@gleaming isle please stop thanks
I don't even have a mogstation account I dont think unless that was the account I created unless it was the one I made on the trial launcher
okay so first
<@&100464652139368448> dude being unhelpful in chat
yea i saw it
sweet I got it and got in
yea I know the email
its not that he can't remember
I logged in on mogstation
he knows his username
and see my free trial thing
does it say (Steam) anywhere
it just says account type and then free trial
@gleaming isle stop. talking.
<@&100464652139368448> can we get a mute here?
I havent even made a toon yet
do you remember if you used steam when you tried it out the last time?
he did
I havent purchased the game yet lol, and yes I see that Industrial
ok. multiple peopl have asked you to stop.
Magic, silence so others can handle it, or i will silence you.
!mute 271142537337503746 3600

lol
Welp okay
Hi Mea
Lmfao
i didn't do shit.
oh boy
Shiva readies Double Slap.
@rich field I'm asking because I need to know if you have a regular trial or Steam trial
Hey guys I have some useful advice
yes, there's a difference
Smug is cute
Oi
thank you very cool
nothing for me?
Cleave is cute
Hi guys anyone knows where to activate skills visual effects ?
If you guys run into any more problems then let us know
they disappeared 😦
@leaden pond character settings, I think?
if he used steam the last time, he should be on the steam trial, no?
control settings
character config > general > character
under char settings
Cleave is cute
I will check that asap ! tysm guys
so you don't have steam linked
nope, my first time using mogstation
either link your steam with mogstation (irreversible) or download the regular FFXIV trial client
recommend going with regular windows version
Depending on what version you wish to purchase
I also reccomend base windows version and not steam
so should I delete the launcher stuff from my comp just to get clear of everything?
Theres also no real upside to hooking it into your steam account
then you can download the trial from this link
oh wait
so you don't have to redownload everything again
actually, I'm sorry... totally misunderstand u. I never downloaded the game from steam
all I have is the base trial version from windows
ah.
that site

Are you entering your Email or your SE username
password is correct since I just reset it
SE username, I cant enter email it won't let me since it's 2 long
its the same as ur mogstation account details
Reason: Rule 1 Violation. Further harassment will be reported to T&S and you will be removed.
you used email to get into mogstation?
yea it let me do that
huh
did you just got the game?
you can

no bueno.
How many poetics do I need for a animal weapon?
Anima
a shit ton, not including stuff you can get without tomestones
close to 20k, give or take
!faq anima
is ruby wep ex difficult compared to memoria misera?
dont wanna give my actual email away obviously
you can try contacting support or just make a whole new account since you have nothing on that account anyway @rich field
nope
I can't tell.
@slate arrow damn 20k?
you can use email to log into mogstation
ah, wait, now it worked for me.
at this point i think making a new account would be easier than fixing it
lel
dammit SE
xDDD
I heard grinding arf is the best way
wait what
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1bsHZM-0sSdaajAwILUPbUSOsMzDiCP7o4DGb3-gQTog/edit#gid=0 @atomic jetty breaks down how much poetics you need for the steps that uses them
I would try making a whole new acc but it won't let me tie it to my email that was used to make this one
I mean I guess I could create another email and make one with that, but I'd prolly forget to check it every so often
go to account information
they already said they tried resetting their info?
@leaden ginkgo IMO they’re pretty equal in difficulty
With ruby being a bit easier
I wanna give ex ruby a shot after clearing memoria misera
double check your SE account page
You should see your account ID on the mogstation page
For glamor purposes how do you make youe gloves invisible or hidden?
Emperor's New Gloves
in the upper right hand corner where it shows crysta balance
requires either a level 15 crafter or just buying it off the marketboard

Oh ty
the one next to log out?
yeah
no idea why it's those random numberds
its a trial account so no character is created yet
dang did u ban that guy?
Yes
yea, they blew up in my DM
you're fine
didn't mean to cause anything
you're fine
Not your fault nutcases can't act like adults
no worries. they cant follow instructions. its bound to happen.

just focus on your free trial. ❤️
oh by the way you should delete that image @rich field
your username should be considered sensitive information
get the client from steam if you want to use it from steam also
cuz keys are also there in case u buy it later
I got in and got it I did
have fun with the trial!
I assume there's no way to change that Username unless u contact SE support?
yep
the mog name has nothing to do with account tough
game name can be changed lot of times later
*SE ID
No i mean in case he asking if ID has to do with the game name
which ventures are the most profitable after retainers are maxed out?
I was aking myslef that back then
oh jeez it's gonna take like 2 hrs to download, guess it'll have to wait till tomorrow xD
@hoary storm what ventures are profitable depends on what sells well on your marketboard. If you don't want to bother with that, then can just send them out on quick ventures and hope for decent stuff or send them out on 18hr ventures and sell the pieces to vendors and marketboard whatever else they bring back

After watching the video in the pins, I want to play a ninja, but from the starting classes, I can't find the ninja so kinda confused me a bit. Can anyone direct me to what gets me to that job?
unfortunately you can't start out as rogue which is the base class for ninja
pick either arcanist or maruader as they both start in limsa, which is where rogue is
and then get to lvl 10, complete their lvl 10 class quest and then switch to rogue


That's just pathetic lol
@fresh lodge
🍿
yes I did @jade crater
just gotta wait to actually play since download it 3 hrs long
Apologies, I'll stop.
xDD keep getting deleted
Are all the market boards of chaos connected?
is anyone coming from WoW to this game? I currently play WoW but was just curious what the thoughts were on the two games
@jade crater has been banned by Meara#0312 for the following reason:
ban evasion
@mossy tartan no
No, server basis
@rich field there's a lot of WoW players actually.
probs a lot of players back on 2.0 but no so sure now @rich field
since we got vanilla

There used to be relatively good guides for new WoW players but those have become outdated as of 5.0
Had a lot of WoW refugees since BfA's... mild reception
well, relatively. Probably confusing to most new players nowdays
@rich field I just came from wow myself
yea I still play WoW but wanted to branch out and try new games
only thing I like about the game is raiding
raid has nothing to do with wow man just staigh up
raid here is more fun imo yes you cant solo things but meh
Any general questions about FFXIV in general before you first dive in?
I guess a question I might have is, what is the best way to go about it if I were to play co-op lvling with my dad?
I'll say this first, though. This is a Final Fantasy game first, and MMO second.

me and my dad just finished FFVII the other month and are currently almost done with Lost Odyssey, we both love JRPG's so I was looking to get into a good one I could play with him
Outside of story dungeons/trials, The story is designed to be done as a solo player.
is it bad that this is my first FF game 
Anyways for that, hm. You can always tackle open world stuff (such as FATES (open world events)) together. Dungeons don't unlock until you get to level 15 in the MSQ
Nope
This was my first FF too
Like almost all players can do their job on roulette and in a way carry the dung since its old content
so the general "questing" can't be done in a group besides urself?
might struggle a bit on the 1st dungeons
Speaking of which, the MSQ:
is the Main Scenario Quest, which is mandatory since nearly everything is locked behind it.
pick a melee and a tank? so healer and either ranged or melee dps on queues can help you better
WoW and FFXIV players kind of seem to fluctuate back and forth right now
my dad loves to heal, played hpriest in WoW for forever
never went back to wow 
which makes sense because the games release expansions in alternating years
Currently, there's 3 healers in FFXIV, but only one allows you to start as a healer.
I'm thinking about tank just for dungeon queues but I'm not sure if u queue for dungeons or actually have to go to them with ur group
what are the queue timers like for dungeons and stuff while leveling?
theres roulette so we autofill
Near instant for healers, 5 minutes for tanks, whenever a healer queues for DPS
like any content
you will be taken up to the dungeon's doorstep when you unlock it, but once it's unlocked, it is added to your "Duty Finder", which is the tool you use to queue up for dungeons
Slow down for the new guy lmao
dw about that I was thinkin on some other things like healer with no gear being able to heal the 1st dungeons 
We're just bombarding them with terms
but hard capped healer should be able to handle that
slow down for a hard second
any damage meter? :D
officially, no
I gotcha, I was just curious if this game is more to be handled like a single player JRPG at first or more like an MMO to play with my dad sort of co-op
It's a mix of both.
mix yeh
The MSQ is mostly solo, but dungeons have to be tackled with other players.
So besides from dungeons and world events, most of the game is solo?
yes
If gil and gc seals are not a problem for me, is it still 20k poetics for an animal weapon?
Depending on how you get the Crystal sands, yes
Damn
I'll have to talk with him and see how we wanna play the game, either co-op or just watch me and him take turns on one big screen
no most of game is duable with some other person only thing cut scenes are solo and some instances which are rooms where you progress on the main story are solo places
but you are fine walking with your dad to any place imo

I mean unless you plan on blitzing ahead in the MSQ it's perfectly fine to try and COOP it as much as you can
It's more fun when you play together, that's for sure.
Arcanist is the one that becomes a Summoner, correct?
yes
yeh
I mean i love story immersion and all that stuff, I'd probably take it slow for a while. Should me and my dad just buy the vanilla game if we want to co-op or get the xpacs too?
Both can be enjoyed coop
The only benefit to buying xpac before you even start the game
all it limits for now are the expansion jobs as well as not being able to start as au ra, hrothgar and viera
^
if you dont care for those, you can get it later when you reach the end of the base game
so class limits and race limits pretty much?
yup
Ok so one thing I'm confused about is the Home world. I live closer to Europe and should have better ping connecting to EU servers, but it shows "Connection: Good" when selecting any of the EU servers.
BUT, when I connect to NA servers (goblin for instance) I get "Excellent" which doesn't make sense to me :x
are any of those class limits healers? My dad loves playing healers and not sure if that would hinder any choice or not
honestly, i wouldn't really go by that indicator
only astro. the other two healers are avaliable in the base game
!faq checkping
- Open CMD (Windows key + R, Type CMD and hit enter)
- Type: ping -n 20 [Datacenter ip address] without the brackets
- Press enter
PD: To check your Datacenter IP adress go to https://arrstatus.com/
i don't exactly recall how its decided but if you want to double check how good your ping is, its best to use cmd to ping the servers your self
you can try pinging the datacenters ip to get a number
!faq datacenterip
List of IP Addresses for each Datacenter
Aether: 204.2.229.9
Primal: 204.2.229.10
Crystal: 204.2.229.11
Chaos: 195.82.50.9
Light: 195.82.50.10
Mana: 124.150.157.156
Gaia: 124.150.157.157
Elemental: 124.150.157.158
how do I ping the IP?
Windows: Open Command Prompt and type ping *insert IP Address here*
Mac: Open Terminal and type ping *insert IP Address here*
and ping the datacenter you are interested in

oh thank you this makes it a lot easier
Gotcha, will have to talk to him about it. I appreciate the help everyone. I will update you all tomorrow!
you guys are awesome tyvm, did not expect people to be this friendly and helpful, quite a nice surprise
We're only rude to people who don't listen 
try not to meme in this channel in case newbies get confused. 

no memes allowed :(
so the check mark one equals 10
and the ones below are 1
so like it says in the corner, you've got 13 completed
13/60 fates to reach max rank, higher ranks allow you to buy different things from bicolor gem merchants
do 60, rather
Hi guys, I'm new to FXIV. So anyway my plan is to level PLD to 50 and then switch to RDM cause from some sources I heard that RDM plays nicely and is much fun all in all. Good?
66 technically since you need 6 to get to rank 2
eulmore needs all zones completed
to rank 3
if that's what you want to do, yeah.
sounds like a plan yup
crystarium does too iirc
yes both crystarium and eulmore unlock once you've completed all zones to rank 3
@rotund jackal THM/BLM might be a little better since they're both caster classes
yup. 60 FATE from rank 2 to rank 3
less of a transition "shock" going from a tank to caster that way
I don't care much about minmaxing dps etc, for me it's the fun of the job what counts 🙂
is A4s good enough for the anima weapon quest?
@rotund jackal rdm is kinda fun, simple rotation, and easy and fun, and you have a nice backflip too.
if you're not going to do/able find a group for a9s, you should do a1s instead
unless you really want to do a4s for glamour or something while you're farming light
thx @alpine shadow
it's less about minmaxing aurelia, moreso about the playstyles being more similar
as you're going from caster to caster, vs tank to caster
as long as you do your normal rotation in rdm, you dont have to think about minmaxing as much
it can help depending on how much you get 'stuck' in routines
Anyway. Just a suggestion. Play whatever you like.
^
@radiant brook for light grinding? most groups opt for A9S or A1S due to their speed and lack of mechanics to worry about. you can also solo grind most level 50 dungeons with Brayflox Hard being one of the faster ones.
so you get more done in A1s than if you were to do A4s?
you get the same light, but it dies faster.
oh alright, thanks
A9S gives more light and dies only a bit slower.
the thing is, i don't have the time to try out every job on max lvl so I have to rely on your opinion 🙂 if the job has clunky rotations it's not for me, I like fluid gameplay. also i heard as a blm you have to stand still most of the time, so it's not for me
though BLM requires much more planning if you want to minmax it
how long does it usually take to get all runes lit up?
plus once you know fights enough, moving starts becoming optional because you're already in the better places to stand 
if oyu have a full group, a9s runs will take about 30-40 minutes
at about 2-3minutes a run
a lot shorter than i thought
light gain has been buffed a lot

I think their current values are 8 or 16x the original amount
i hear the 'before times' were absolute murdergrinds
so with A1s it would be about maybe 2 hours?
Do any duties require jumping during battle? I don't remember any.
Uhh not as far as I remember either
||Shinryu|| jumping would be handy to get from section to section though
No duties require jumping
Turn 1 of the binding coil kinda needs jump to properly do a mechanic due to the layout of the boss arena.
I can't recall another fight right away.
Ok great. I'm gonna rebind my spacebar to something more useful since my thumb is always on it.
🤔 fighting hraesvelgr, but that's only technically jumping
Bismarck?
I never dared to not jump so idk. 
hey all, new to the game. quick question: is there any way to set a "universal hotbar". one that will be the exact same across all my jobs? or an easy way to copy them? trying to set one up as a class changing hotbar
Just remember to bind jump somewhere @sleek rapids
jump if it hasnt smacked against the island yet, but you can just run onto him otherwise
i've walked on by accident but jumping feels like you get on a tad earlier
