little swift
#

information like purchase history and pricing

#

is listed in the marketboard items themselves

leaden ginkgo
#

is arcanist viable with no specing into pets?

little swift
#

there are no specs

#

you'll get the class pets/egis as you level and do job/class quests

lavish raven
#

Is there an option to show only my dots/rebuffs on monsters?

leaden ginkgo
#

i just wanna have magic but not summon shit

#

is that possible in this game?

unreal aspen
#

questions abt which job to pick

#

i love summoner with all my heart

#

what other dps would i enjoy

little swift
#

you can adjust your hud layout settings @lavish raven

lavish raven
#

Thanks

little swift
#

@leaden ginkgo your other magic options include redmage (unlocked at lvl50) or blackmage (thaumaturge as the base class)

unreal aspen
#

things i like the most are the gratification from doing my rotation perfectly + how satisfying the effects feel

little swift
#

so you want a tight consistent cycle rotation sofi!

#

?

leaden ginkgo
#

yeah im not really into the whole staff thing

unreal aspen
#

yeah!

leaden ginkgo
#

i just wanna have magic in my hands.. idk if u understand

unreal aspen
#

was playing rdm/dnc but the rotation didn't feel super satisfying

little swift
#

so for the one minute kinda rotation you can go for GNB (a tank) or SAM (a melee)

leaden ginkgo
#

arcanist was really close

little swift
#

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

leaden ginkgo
#

ive grinded like 5 paladins in wow

#

looks like im going paladin

twilit arch
#

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

unreal aspen
#

ooo i think i'll try drg and gnb, dragoon spears hella cool

little swift
#

maybe monk? because everyone sorta memes that melees are muscle mages?

glossy sapphire
#

do you only get 1 fantasia the whole game for free?

twilit arch
#

yes

little swift
#

yes

leaden ginkgo
#

wait so its not like where u buy the game and get up to the latest expansion for free?

glossy sapphire
#

I see thanks man I need moar

leaden ginkgo
#

i wanna be a fkin red mage

#

how do i unlock white scrips? do i have to be lv 80 DOL/DOH first?

twilit arch
#

Yes you need to be lv80 to start earning white scrips

little swift
#

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

leaden ginkgo
#

mmm

rancid cloak
#

How can i get to Northwestern Pavilion?

leaden ginkgo
#

do ninjas actually weave handsigns in the game?

remote lintel
#

yes

little swift
#

@rancid cloak that's inside diadem

leaden ginkgo
#

cause thats kinda what im going for, full metal alchemist type thing

little swift
#

diadem is accessible from inside the Firmament which is in Ishgard

remote lintel
#

full metal alchemist doesn't have hand signs

leaden ginkgo
#

i seen there was a fma event on this game actually

#

yes it does ;-;

#

transmutation signs

remote lintel
#

that's different

leaden ginkgo
#

but the main character can just use hand signs which is really rare

static yacht
#

doesn't he just clap his hands together every single time

remote lintel
#

I've also never heard of this fma event

rancid cloak
#

@little swift how do i get there?

remote lintel
#

what takkun said

rancid cloak
#
  • can i go solo?
leaden ginkgo
#

its not like naruto hand signs

#

lol

static yacht
#

@rancid cloak yes

remote lintel
#

ninja uses Naruto hand signs

leaden ginkgo
#

i looked up alchemist to see if it was anything like in fma and there was an event

twilit arch
#

danHmm that's not an event

#

that's someone making a glamour

leaden ginkgo
#

but i think its just more for crafting

static yacht
#

that's a transmog

leaden ginkgo
#

is it still obtainable?

#

the little guys clothing

twilit arch
#

yes, that gear is still obtainable

remote lintel
#

that's not an event

#

it's just regular gear colored

twilit arch
#

just someone being very clever with current in-game gear

leaden ginkgo
#

oh

#

;-;

twilit arch
#

they're basically just points of interest

winged wagon
#

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

static yacht
#

limsa

twilit arch
#

yeah but most of the chatter is going to be in private channels, like free company or linkshells

raw zodiac
#

For me New Gridania is the Afk zone, but I talk in my FC

tribal wave
#

glamour question: apart from the quon/ao dai pants, are there other pants that resemble bell pants? especially ones that can be dyed

twilit arch
#

you might find some people using /shout or /say in a place like limsa

#

but generally, most people aren't going to be

raw zodiac
#

You could always try to strike a convo

#

That usual works

leaden ginkgo
#

mother f'er

#

do red mages need to use staves?

#

to be effective

static yacht
#

yes

leaden ginkgo
#

i just wanna have magic in one hand

#

MFRER

static yacht
#

All jobs require the weapon to be that job

#

you cannot unequip the weapon

twilit arch
#

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

leaden ginkgo
#

yeah but i cant just use a sword?

twilit arch
#

no

leaden ginkgo
#

so theres pre req for red mage?

static yacht
#

AFAIK the only job that has an "invisible glamour" for their weapon is monk but they don't cast spells

static pasture
#

be level 50

leaden ginkgo
#

so if i go red mage as a gladiator at level 50

#

i will need to use a stave?

raw zodiac
#

Yes lol

whole wasp
#

yes, the weapons are tied to the job

raw zodiac
#

You switch jobs by switching weps

rancid cloak
#

can i mine grade 2 skybuilders' rock salt as lvl 62 miner?

leaden ginkgo
#

this sure aint skyrim boys

rancid cloak
#

or do i need a higher lvl?

static yacht
#

@gleaming isle yes

whole wasp
#

pick up the rapier, you're a red mage. pick up a katana, you're a samurai

leaden ginkgo
#

rapier?

#

thats a sword wtf

#

so they use sowrds?

#

swords*

static yacht
#

this is what their weapon looks like

raw zodiac
#

There are main hand equips and off hand equips depending on the job

static yacht
#

when they cast spells they put the rapier part and the rotating crystal part together to turn it into a staff and cast

whole wasp
#

only PLD has main hand/off hand and even then its strictly sword and shield

leaden ginkgo
#

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?

raw zodiac
#

I thought conjurer did too or was that thamaturge

obsidian patio
#

Shields for them are a dated thing that only exist in early ARR

whole wasp
#

only existed in ARR.

static yacht
#

@raw zodiac conjurers and thaumaturges both had shield options early on but they no longer have those options in any content over 50

leaden ginkgo
#

would go bard if i could use sword and board

wind kindle
#

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?

leaden ginkgo
#

just tired of paladin

obsidian patio
#

they stop existing entirely past patch 2.2

static yacht
#

@leaden ginkgo no bards cannot use swords, the weapon is tied to the job

raw zodiac
#

Oh that makes sense I just finish 2.0

whole wasp
#

@wind kindle do you remember which tutorial it is?

static pasture
#

System > Active Help i think @wind kindle

raw zodiac
#

I have to do the slog fest next

wind kindle
#

The Bard thingy.

whole wasp
#

there is one in the active help and there is another one in the ? sign under your actions and traits

wind kindle
#

Yeah, I typed BARD, no results.

polar hound
#

Job gauge is the one in actions and traits

static yacht
#

if you scroll down to job gauge it should be the same one

polar hound
static pasture
wind kindle
#

Oh! That! Thank you, @polar hound , @whole wasp and @static yacht

#

Appreciate it. thank you.

raw zodiac
#

Quick question, does the buffs a dancer brings out weigh dps

static yacht
#

no

blissful elk
#

hhmm, anyone know why I can't turn in these Ice Stalagmites? Haven't done a Land scrip thing yet?

twilit arch
#

because they're not collectables

gentle marten
#

which tank has the second best damage output?

warped nest
#

You didn't collect them as Collectible

whole wasp
#

you have to gather them as collectables

raw zodiac
#

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.

mossy current
#

Tako, they're all fine

blissful elk
#

how do you do that?

warped nest
#

!faq poetics

zinc orbitBOT
warped nest
#

Fried spoon, read that

raw zodiac
#

Ight thanks

gentle marten
#

oh nice good to know

mossy current
#

But iirc PLD has second highest in savage tier?

whole wasp
#

you have to turn on collector's glove before gathering

#

!action collector's glove

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Collector's Glove** : lvl 50 MIN (0.0 second cooldown)

Utilize your expansive knowledge of mining to uncover collectables amongst regular items.

warped nest
#

@gentle marten at the highest level, I think it is either DRK or PLD

obsidian patio
#

Damage difference between the tanks is minimal.

blissful elk
#

thanks, had no idea

mossy current
#

But don't stress over doing more dps on a tank

obsidian patio
#

We talking 2-3% variation from highest to lowest tank

mossy current
#

Do your job right and you're good

static yacht
#

@gentle marten if you want to know

#

sort by fight

gentle marten
#

ty!

static yacht
#

and change percentile

gentle marten
#

i will, i'm trying to play drk right now

static yacht
#

but realistically its like 2-3% difference only if you're within the 0.0001 percentile

warped nest
#

The red scrip is obsolete, but the info in the video is solid, @blissful elk

jaunty matrix
#

is there like a document for macros

blissful elk
#

awesome thanks man

obsidian patio
#

Nope.

warped nest
#

For document on macro, there are official documentations available on lodestone

#

Yes

patent tusk
#

How much of ARR does the free trial include?

raw zodiac
#

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)

warped nest
#

ARR is gated to lvl 50

raw zodiac
#

Then you hit 50 and do 2.0+

warped nest
#

2.X are part of ARR

twilit arch
raw zodiac
#

I’m pretty sure I entered last dungeon at 49

twilit arch
#

the last two dungeons of ARR is 50

warped nest
#

It is still ARR

#

There's no gating of any sort at lvl 49

patent tusk
#

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?

twilit arch
#

Castrum Meridianum and Praetorium

warped nest
#

Yes, if you want to commit

#

If you are still unsure, you are free to level other classes

patent tusk
#

I'm definitely sure, I've been hooked to the game the entire weekend

warped nest
#

You can buy early if you don't want to deal with the social limitations on the Trial ver

whole wasp
#

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

warped nest
#

But yeah, lvl 35 story is the cutoff point

#

Upper floor

nimble rain
#

is it possible for PLD to solo Coil of Bahamut at lv60 with the best gear of HW?

warped nest
#

Probably not, Kobito

nimble rain
#

D:

patent tusk
#

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?

little swift
#

@gleaming isle if you have all the aethernet shards in uldah you can just teleport into it

warped nest
#

Either or, Darth

patent tusk
#

Kk thanks for answering my questions

warped nest
#

Aether net inside city cost nothing

#

Teleporting across cities and region does

little swift
#

Insude city stuff is free

#

Even teleporting to the gates outsude is free

warped nest
#

You will find a stairs around north/east side of the inner ring in uldah

leaden ginkgo
#

does duty difficulty really matter?

warped nest
#

For dungeons, not exactly. Hard mode dungeon refers to the same ish dungeon but remix

#

For everything else yes

leaden ginkgo
#

oh no i mean like for quests where you rp as someone

static yacht
#

No

leaden ginkgo
#

sweet

static yacht
#

There is no difference in rewards etc.

leaden ginkgo
#

alright

agile turret
#

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?

static yacht
#

If you are at the screen it'll say x has sold for y money

agile turret
#

which screen? im in the middle of nowhere rn and i rlly dont wanna go back near a summoning bell

remote lintel
#

in your chat box

#

also a big message flashes on your screen

agile turret
#

oh so i have to be present at the exact moment it sells in order for me to know

remote lintel
#

not really cause it stays in the message box

static yacht
#

Yes otherwise you need to go to the bell

agile turret
#

if it sold while i was afk im screwed and i have to go manually check

#

ahhhh

#

rip

remote lintel
#

it stays in your chat box @agile turret

#

which item

agile turret
#

i only have general battle and event

static yacht
#

It'll show up under general

remote lintel
#

it's in general and event I'm pretty sure

#

@gleaming isle to check your equipment? your character profile

agile turret
#

ah well no way in hell im finding it in event i just did like 20 msq there's so much dialogue

hot eagle
#

which merchant sells potions?
@gleaming isle if u rly want some check mb they are rly cheap

remote lintel
#

cold scarab
#

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?

remote lintel
#

whenever you can

#

just do it

static yacht
#

Dance on cooldown

#

Damage increases from the dance buff is minimal compared to the damage you deal from the dance

polar hound
#

^ both of your dances, standard and technical, are huge damage and aoe.

cold scarab
#

ok, thank you

flint wasp
#

Can you make good $$ from fishing?

slate arrow
#

depends on the market

#

though you can make good profits by focusing the current aethersand fish

leaden ginkgo
#

So

#

What do you guys spend GC Seals on?

slate arrow
#

you cannot use hide during combat

leaden ginkgo
#

Hide in FF14 is weird

static yacht
#

Later on you get a skill called suiton that lets you cast trick attack without hide

leaden ginkgo
#

Consider it more like a Mudra Refresh, and Open World "Opener"

slate arrow
#

no

leaden ginkgo
#

It is useful

slate arrow
#

it just has niche uses

little swift
#

hide is used to reset your mudra cd

#

prepull

slate arrow
#

refreshing mudra charges

static yacht
#

I mean if he has no ninjutsu yet it is pretty useless lol

remote lintel
#

you use it before a battle

obsidian patio
#

!action hide

static yacht
#

You cannot cast trick attack without hide

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Hide** : lvl 10 ROG NIN (20.0 second cooldown)

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.

remote lintel
#

you need it for trick attack

static yacht
#

Until you get suiton

leaden ginkgo
#

I mean to be fair <=<

#

Hide Trick Attack just does not work

#

At all

#

Like it works open world, and only open world

obsidian patio
#

“Restores two charges to all mudra”

little swift
#

wrong

static yacht
#

Just leave it on your bar

obsidian patio
#

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

static yacht
#

For once you hit 45

little swift
#

trick attack can be used off cooldown during bossfights once you hit lvl45

leaden ginkgo
#

Its a strong refresher in dungeons

#

Its different but not useless

little swift
#

nope

#

!action hide

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Hide** : lvl 10 ROG NIN (20.0 second cooldown)

little swift
#

this one

raven sage
#

It's not but if you're still a rogue then it won't feel useful right away

little swift
raven sage
#

Ninja is where it's really important

leaden ginkgo
#

its gimmicky

#

Its Flavor

#

And Quest important

obsidian patio
#

It’s there for class flavor and some class quests

little swift
#

its used in the class quest too

leaden ginkgo
#

Mini side wonder:
Should i throw or store my lvl 80 Relic Armor? <o<

#

If i dun need it for glamour

obsidian patio
#

You can easily get it back from grenoldt

radiant brook
#

is A1s still the best for the anima weapon quest?

leaden ginkgo
#

I do recall that in previous expansions, you could 'upgrade' the relic armor

#

Still likely or frankly uncertain?

slate arrow
#

A9S is the best for anima

twilit arch
#

the dyeable version for af4 is from the memoria misera EX trial

slate arrow
#

ShB the relic armor upgrade is a seperate item tied to the EX trial

leaden ginkgo
#

Baller

#

How hard is Ex Trial?

slate arrow
#

Hades EX, roughly?

obsidian patio
#

Pretty easy, I’d say about harder than ruby ex

leaden ginkgo
#

Gimme a 1 to 5 of "Fresh 80"

slate arrow
#

a 4

#

it's not has hard and Shiva or Titan Savage

leaden ginkgo
#

An oof to me

slate arrow
#

but it's still execution heavy

#

thankfully the DPS check is low

obsidian patio
#

You also need a minimum ilvl of 470 for it.

little swift
#

the new ex is very lenient

#

for dps

leaden ginkgo
#

But nonetheless

#

Ill toss the Relics then

slate arrow
#

oh relics are free

#

1k poetics each

leaden ginkgo
#

Relic armor

maiden palm
#

Hello guys I just bought a game code from a site for shadowbringers , where do I activate the product?

little swift
#

make sure you've finished your 70 alliance raids so you can start your 80 relic weapon

#

!faq mogstation

zinc orbitBOT
slate arrow
#

relic armor is a seperate drop

little swift
#

@maiden palm

slate arrow
#

you don't augment the existing armor

leaden ginkgo
#

Right

#

So ill toss what i got, cus no need for glamour, and can re-obtain in that guy

#

Thanks. :O

little swift
#

you can equip it to your retainer!

leaden ginkgo
#

Got a different job, so

#

soon :,D

maiden palm
#

@little swift I signed in but I can't find the tab where I can redeem my code..

little swift
maiden palm
#

Ok ty

naive trench
#

I'm currently using the free 8 day trial thing, if I sub, does it get added to the 8 days?

remote lintel
#

what do you use the khloe commendations for

#

@naive trench pretty sure it doesnt

oak ice
#

You can trade commendations for other items

#

For example current crafted with 5 guaranteed materia slots, the "Ornate" versions

remote lintel
#

oh I see

twilit arch
#

mind you, what you can get depends on the type of commendation

oak ice
#

Ya, you can check with Khloe

twilit arch
#

you can double check at khloe to see what each one gives

remote lintel
#

is there anything besides gear

twilit arch
#

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

maiden palm
naive trench
#

cheers @twilit arch

twilit arch
#

you need the base game first before you can make use of the expansion code @maiden palm

maiden palm
#

But doesn't shadowbringers comes with all the previous expansion and 30 days free?

twilit arch
#

no

marble drift
#

yes

maiden palm
#

Hmmm

twilit arch
#

doesn't come with 30 days free

marble drift
#

well. previous expacs

twilit arch
#

it doesn't come with the base game, which is required for the expansions

sleek rapids
#

Is 2 OGCDs the limit before clipping starts to happen?

oak ice
#

Generally yes

static yacht
#

Depends on your GCD speed

remote lintel
#

shadowbringers is ONLY dlc, so you need the base game

slate arrow
#

!faq weaving

zinc orbitBOT
#
Quick guide to weaving/clipping
Info

Click the image, then 'Open original'

sleek rapids
#

Oh hey thanks

maiden palm
#

So I need to sub and then use it

remote lintel
#

no

#

you need to buy the base game

#

which comes with 30 days

slate arrow
#

you can't even sub without the base game anyways

remote lintel
#

then use the shadowbringers code

sleek rapids
#

Wait a sec I don't see anything on what that kupo bot posted Industrial

twilit arch
#

hm

sleek rapids
#

Ok ty ❤️

maiden palm
#

I thought I could get everything with this package

leaden ginkgo
#

I have 46 cracked stella clusters and didnt know

little swift
#

the 30-days of gametime is part of the BASE game

leaden ginkgo
#

how can I spend them wisely?

whole wasp
#

just buy whatever materia you like.

little swift
#

you can use them fro materia

whole wasp
#

you get crap tons of them over time

little swift
#

if you want you can sell those materia

#

things like crit/direct hit/det/spell speed/skill speed are always needed

leaden ginkgo
#

Sweet

#

46 should let me make a decent amount of gil if I buy crit 8 materia, yeah?

remote lintel
#

@maiden palm that's shadowbringers, not the base game

#

base game is a realm reborn

whole wasp
#

yea. crit is usually in demand. check the marketboard btw

#

it says complete edition tho.

remote lintel
#

yeah idk why it says that on the site

slate arrow
#

@remote lintel that's also complete edition

#

hold up one second

remote lintel
#

it says complete edition but the guy didn't get the base game

maiden palm
#

-_-

remote lintel
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

slate arrow
#

welp

#

you got scammed buddy

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

marble drift
#

I mean that site looks shady as fuck

maiden palm
#

I haven't bought it yet

#

Just wanna make sure

remote lintel
#

then don't

marble drift
#

buy from square enix you doofus

remote lintel
#

buy it off newegg or something if you really want

slate arrow
#

The only sites I'd recommend are the SE store, Steam, Humble Bundle, Amazon, Newegg, or your local major retailer

static yacht
#

The description says it includes ARR

remote lintel
#

where?

static yacht
#

But I would avoid it cause its sketchy af

#

On the link that alex posted

#

He didnt post the entire description

remote lintel
#

oh

whole wasp
remote lintel
#

still tho

slate arrow
#

i mean if you trust the site go for it

remote lintel
#

if it can confuse us then it's probably not good

whole wasp
#

yea. still sketch AF. up to them.

slate arrow
#

release date 20 june 2017

remote lintel
#

there's no such thing as shadowbringers "complete edition"

maiden palm
#

Iv bought many times from that site but yeah the description confused me

remote lintel
#

i wouldn't do it

#

the title is already misleading

slate arrow
#

to be fair SE doesn't exactly clarify the differences between complete editions

#

which is slightly annoying

remote lintel
#

i mean there's regular shb and shb collector's edition but no "complete edition"

#

because shb is already "complete"

static yacht
#

Is what you want from squenix

Oh sweet

does every server have a housing shortage? my server has 1 vacant plot being camped by multiple people

marble drift
#

1 plot...among all 4 housing districts?

tough patio
#

correct

#

1 small plot

remote lintel
#

sounds about right

#

let them fistfight for it

marble drift
#

so you've been to the goblet, lavender beds, shirogane and mist

#

and theres 1 plot

tough patio
#

yep

remote lintel
#

it's not a shortage

marble drift
#

big doubt

tough patio
#

at least one of the guys camping it is running a bot

remote lintel
#

theyre just all frozen

#

houses arent being vacated

tough patio
#

ahh

#

what's the difference?

remote lintel
#

between what

tough patio
#

only 1 plot for sale on the server but "This plot of land is not yet ready for purchase"

#

between vacant and frozen

remote lintel
#

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

static yacht
#

@tough patio depends entirely on the server population as well

tough patio
#

so it's more difficult than usual to get land

remote lintel
#

yes

#

because of the virus

tough patio
#

ahh

#

because fewer players are inactive?

rich field
#

Hey, I want to try FFXIV out, coming from WoW currently

tough patio
#

or is SE intervening somehow

remote lintel

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?

remote lintel
#

well some people have to figure out how to get jobs now

#

and all that

tough patio
#

interesting. so it's going to be impossible to get housing in ffxiv basically

proud willow
#

Incredibly bad RNG

remote lintel
#

for now, robot

fast jolt
#

oof

tough patio
#

well thanks for the info, guess i'll try again in 6.0

#

good thing i didn't sub yet lol

little swift
#

later on, in levelling dungeons you are guaranteed a piece of gear into your inventory on completion of the dungeon @fast jolt

proud willow
#

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

static yacht
#

@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

little swift
#

thats correct takkun

fast jolt
#

oh okay. that's a nice addition

rich field

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!

twilit arch

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

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.

remote lintel
#

yes

this is very odd

remote lintel

bard does not heal

so I figured the birthday out

slate arrow

bard is always a DPS

support DPS is still DPS

rich field
#

problem is, now I can't reset my ID

remote lintel
#

they have supporting skills, but they are dps

slate arrow
#

there is no support DPS role

#

if you want to be support you play healer

rich field
#

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

slate arrow

are you entering your username or email

remote lintel

are you trying to login with an email

slate arrow

yes, there's a difference

just username

the username I think I created

remote lintel

did you do "forget username or password"

yes, there's a difference

I'm using the launcher on my comp rn

are there any servers with open plots or is every server full on housing

slate arrow

@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

no

remote lintel
bronze sorrel

a vast majority of yt videos contain inaccurate/outdated information

remote lintel

because that's not related to the issue at all

rich field
#

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

slate arrow

Steam or Mogstation

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

#

you can't use the steam trial with a regular account

remote lintel
#

so you don't have steam linked

rich field
#

nope, my first time using mogstation

slate arrow
#

either link your steam with mogstation (irreversible) or download the regular FFXIV trial client

remote lintel
#

recommend going with regular windows version

marble drift
#

Depending on what version you wish to purchase

#

I also reccomend base windows version and not steam

bronze sorrel
#

yea, the base version goes on sale more often

#

!faq gotrial

rich field
#

so should I delete the launcher stuff from my comp just to get clear of everything?

zinc orbitBOT
marble drift
#

Theres also no real upside to hooking it into your steam account

bronze sorrel
#

then you can download the trial from this link

slate arrow
#

no you should keep it

#

i think you can just direct the install to the same directory

bronze sorrel
#

oh wait

slate arrow
#

so you don't have to redownload everything again

bronze sorrel
#

you can open the ffxiv_boot directly

#

that should work

rich field

actually, I'm sorry... totally misunderstand u. I never downloaded the game from steam

all I have is the base trial version from windows

@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

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

Any general questions about FFXIV in general before you first dive in?

rich field
#

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?

slate arrow
#

I'll say this first, though. This is a Final Fantasy game first, and MMO second.

granite bluff
rich field
#

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

obsidian patio
#

Outside of story dungeons/trials, The story is designed to be done as a solo player.

frank anchor
#

is it bad that this is my first FF game blobsweat

slate arrow
#

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

obsidian patio
#

This was my first FF too

granite bluff
#

Like almost all players can do their job on roulette and in a way carry the dung since its old content

rich field
#

so the general "questing" can't be done in a group besides urself?

granite bluff
#

might struggle a bit on the 1st dungeons

slate arrow
#

Speaking of which, the MSQ: msq is the Main Scenario Quest, which is mandatory since nearly everything is locked behind it.

granite bluff
#

pick a melee and a tank? so healer and either ranged or melee dps on queues can help you better

bitter plaza
#

WoW and FFXIV players kind of seem to fluctuate back and forth right now

rich field
#

my dad loves to heal, played hpriest in WoW for forever

granite bluff
#

never went back to wow ChickenCluck

bitter plaza
#

which makes sense because the games release expansions in alternating years

slate arrow
#

Currently, there's 3 healers in FFXIV, but only one allows you to start as a healer.

rich field
#

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

frank anchor
#

what are the queue timers like for dungeons and stuff while leveling?

granite bluff
#

theres roulette so we autofill

slate arrow
#

Near instant for healers, 5 minutes for tanks, whenever a healer queues for DPS

granite bluff
#

like any content

bitter plaza
#

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

slate arrow
#

Slow down for the new guy lmao

granite bluff
#

dw about that I was thinkin on some other things like healer with no gear being able to heal the 1st dungeons thonk

slate arrow
#

We're just bombarding them with terms

granite bluff
#

but hard capped healer should be able to handle that

slate arrow
#

slow down for a hard second

frank anchor
#

any damage meter? :D

slate arrow
#

officially, no

rich field
#

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

slate arrow
#

It's a mix of both.

granite bluff
#

mix yeh

slate arrow
#

The MSQ is mostly solo, but dungeons have to be tackled with other players.

rich field
#

So besides from dungeons and world events, most of the game is solo?

slate arrow
#

yes

atomic jetty
#

If gil and gc seals are not a problem for me, is it still 20k poetics for an animal weapon?

obsidian patio
#

Depending on how you get the Crystal sands, yes

atomic jetty
#

Damn

rich field
#

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

granite bluff
#

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

slate arrow
#

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.

frank anchor
#

Arcanist is the one that becomes a Summoner, correct?

slate arrow
#

yes

granite bluff
#

yeh

rich field
#

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

whole wasp
#

you can always buy the expac later.

#

theres no rush

static yacht
#

The only benefit to buying xpac before you even start the game

whole wasp
#

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

rich field
#

so class limits and race limits pretty much?

whole wasp
#

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

twilit arch
#

honestly, i wouldn't really go by that indicator

whole wasp
#

only astro. the other two healers are avaliable in the base game

Q: How do i check my ping to the servers?
Info
  1. Open CMD (Windows key + R, Type CMD and hit enter)
  2. Type: ping -n 20 [Datacenter ip address] without the brackets
  3. Press enter
    PD: To check your Datacenter IP adress go to https://arrstatus.com/
twilit arch
#

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

whole wasp
#

you can try pinging the datacenters ip to get a number

little swift
#

use that

#

to ping the servers

oh thank you this makes it a lot easier

granite bluff
#

you have it on mog now

#

I feel like a real boomer now

rich field
#

Gotcha, will have to talk to him about it. I appreciate the help everyone. I will update you all tomorrow!

granite bluff
#

enjoy the game

#

is it too soon to talk about chaos memes? kek

frank anchor
#

you guys are awesome tyvm, did not expect people to be this friendly and helpful, quite a nice surprise

slate arrow
#

We're only rude to people who don't listen yaycarby

whole wasp
#

try not to meme in this channel in case newbies get confused. angrymiqote

granite bluff
remote lintel
#

no memes allowed :(

twilit arch
#

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

quartz shale
#

13/60 fates to reach max rank, higher ranks allow you to buy different things from bicolor gem merchants

twilit arch
#

its just a means of quick visual of the amount of fates you've got done

#

ya

quartz shale
#

do 60, rather

rotund jackal
#

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?

twilit arch
#

66 technically since you need 6 to get to rank 2

#

eulmore needs all zones completed

#

to rank 3

obsidian patio
#

if that's what you want to do, yeah.

whole wasp
#

sounds like a plan yup

quartz shale
#

crystarium does too iirc

twilit arch
#

yes both crystarium and eulmore unlock once you've completed all zones to rank 3

quartz shale
#

@rotund jackal THM/BLM might be a little better since they're both caster classes

whole wasp
#

yup. 60 FATE from rank 2 to rank 3

quartz shale
#

less of a transition "shock" going from a tank to caster that way

rotund jackal
#

I don't care much about minmaxing dps etc, for me it's the fun of the job what counts 🙂

radiant brook
#

is A4s good enough for the anima weapon quest?

alpine shadow
#

@rotund jackal rdm is kinda fun, simple rotation, and easy and fun, and you have a nice backflip too.

twilit arch
#

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

rotund jackal
#

thx @alpine shadow

quartz shale
#

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

alpine shadow
#

as long as you do your normal rotation in rdm, you dont have to think about minmaxing as much

quartz shale
#

it can help depending on how much you get 'stuck' in routines

whole wasp
#

Anyway. Just a suggestion. Play whatever you like.

quartz shale

@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.

radiant brook
#

so you get more done in A1s than if you were to do A4s?

obsidian patio
#

you get the same light, but it dies faster.

radiant brook
#

oh alright, thanks

obsidian patio
#

A9S gives more light and dies only a bit slower.

rotund jackal
#

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

quartz shale
#

you dont, actually

#

BLM has a lot of movement tools later on

alpine shadow
#

though BLM requires much more planning if you want to minmax it

radiant brook
#

how long does it usually take to get all runes lit up?

quartz shale
#

plus once you know fights enough, moving starts becoming optional because you're already in the better places to stand haha

little swift
#

if oyu have a full group, a9s runs will take about 30-40 minutes

#

at about 2-3minutes a run

radiant brook
#

a lot shorter than i thought

obsidian patio
#

light gain has been buffed a lot

I think their current values are 8 or 16x the original amount

quartz shale
#

i hear the 'before times' were absolute murdergrinds

radiant brook
#

so with A1s it would be about maybe 2 hours?

sleek rapids

Do any duties require jumping during battle? I don't remember any.

wintry chasm
#

Uhh not as far as I remember either

#

||Shinryu|| jumping would be handy to get from section to section though

oak ice
#

No duties require jumping

obsidian patio
#

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.

sleek rapids
#

Ok great. I'm gonna rebind my spacebar to something more useful since my thumb is always on it.

quartz shale
#

🤔 fighting hraesvelgr, but that's only technically jumping

Bismarck?

quartz shale
#

real men walk on air smug

#

(and greed those gcds)

I never dared to not jump so idk. haha

...same

so a solid maybe on bismarck

fringe finch

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

wintry chasm
#

Just remember to bind jump somewhere @sleek rapids

quartz shale
#

jump if it hasnt smacked against the island yet, but you can just run onto him otherwise

little swift
#

i've walked on by accident but jumping feels like you get on a tad earlier

warped nest
#

@fringe finch open your settings

#

Check which of your hotbar is shared
