Gotta remember mudras though
ninja mudras make their opener kinda messy but after that its pretty easy. Easiest melee DPS is a tank lel
I would've thought lancer was the easiest but never got too high in it
My personal opinion is dragoon but that's highly biased
I do know dragoon. It is pretty easy.
It's just the same rotation that gets longer as you level up. Plenty of ogcds though
Every class is gonna have those
Of course
either dragoon or ninja imo as long as hes ok with memorizing ninja combos
Aight cool, thanks. I can probably help him if he goes lancer, then
ninja seems more mid ranged than melee to me. the mudras do magic damage i heard
just because it does magic damage doesnt mean its not melee
i wanted voice chat for the reason of being social than for actual requirement for FF its self
Yeah all my mates have moved from FFXIV to Halo MCC PC gutted no discord chat now lol
wild random wonder
I wanna do all the Shared 60 Fate Rank 3s
Should i do it on Summoner or White Mage? :,D
I ask cus its likely im leveling one of these jobs from 70 to 80 doing that alone
if its a boss you won't be able to solo it without heals
Points to Chocobo
but it's faster to do all the other ones as summoner just because of damage
yah, i feel
Tis mostly to get the Healer Role quest rolling
Summoner would give me caster too, sure, but, nyegh
you can get summoner to 72
then switch to scholar
and start the healer role quest
Summoner levels up scholar too
The MT shouldn't be killing adds yes?
for what fight
Just in general
On PLD I just spam my aoe
If the help is needed then yes
I know it depends from fight to fight
And do so without cleaving people
Depends some bosses dps can just take adds
It depends on the fight, there is no general answer
Faster adds die, faster people fet back to the boss
I usually don't because cleaves
if the ads are causing the healer to take damage you probably don't want to make the healer's job more difficult
healing a tank is easy
being chased by shit that takes 1/2 your hp is annoying
Yeah I generally just claim every add tbh
then again it also depends on what level you are like in qarn no one ever aggros the ads cause the boss dies too fast if the DPS are competant
And if I'm talking too much damage for my healer that's what my Cds are for
Is my quest bugged? I have the level 10 fishing quest "The Princess and the fish" - I have to go to Nym River to catch a "Princess Trout" - I have done so but quest does not update or anything when I catch it.
Is anyone a dragoon and on aether data center that can kind of help me.out with learning how to play dragoon. I just wanna make sure I'm doing things right
was it a high quality princess trout? @flint wasp
does it have to be? i just thought i had to catch one.
yes, it does
just left limsa lominsa for new gridania, is the a realm reborn main storyline basically going over the 3 main hubs?
For the most part, yes. Later on, it'll branch out a little
Do squadron members get any XP from killiing stuff in command missions or is it just the command mission XP itself?
(i.e., is it worth killing stuff to level them up?)
@twilit arch Thank you for the response, I shall keep fishing!
just the mission itself I believe
it's a good way to level up your low level DPS though
Anyone have link for full guide?
Or does the 72+ single target just refer to any guide?
!faq blmguide
is what its referring to
Darn read only can't save it lol
Hey so question... on PS4, with controller hotbars... can I “split” my left and right trigger bars so I can put my active-enemy screen between them?
No
Doh
I should use TBN at the start of a pull yes?
On bosses? Depends if the bosses autos Do enough to break it
then yes if you are mt
Yes
if you are ot you can use it on the mt before a tankbuster
should I be doing a lvl 59 dungeon or a lvl60 dungeon for a lvl 60 job to level up to 61?
never do lvl cap dungeons for exp
the exp is just tacked on so its meh compared to what you'd get from the leveling dungeon (47/59/69)
Does this game have crossplay with console?
Yes, PC and PS4 play on the same servers
Yes, PC and PS4 play on the same servers
@strange coral that's awesome, thanks
can you recruit a friend while you have the trial?
Probably not...? We had someone in here the other day who was on trial and didn't have the banner on their account page
i got the game a few hours ago, so still learning the basics lol
Managed that quest easy I did gain a level doing msq rouleete but with sleep and manAward it was a breeze lol
Dunno if a level would hsve made the difference
Hey! I’m having little issues with installing the game. So my question is that is it possible to change the download directory from launcher or somewhere, when i want to install the game?
You can install the launcher wherever you want and that's where the game will be downloaded. If you're using Steam, you might have some extra steps to make a new Steam library or something.
You can also move the launcher/game after installing it with seemingly no problem
Yeah, i’m using Steam...
From what I've gathered in my time here, there are benefits and detrimits to steam; I wouldn't worry about possibly picking the "wrong" one :p
When you do the initial install from Steam, you should have the option to choose a location to install too. I would think the launcher would install the rest there as well
Jeezo reading that blm guide at 59 has just blown my mind 😂
Clips this clips that don't even know what it means unless it's keeping a Dot up and not refreshing it early wasting dps
Hey guys, what are the Ancient Plundered gear (e.g. helmet, trousers) supposed to be used for? O:
Is there a way for me to send an item to a friend whos on another server?
I dropped a nidhogg scale and he needs them, so I figured he could have it but he doesnt appear on my mail list
@strange coral I can confirm that it doesn’t help. It will like somehow automatically install the game into the documents...
Is that what clipping is, reapplying something like TIII when there's still 10+ seconds left
Unless you get a T3p ofc
I cant meld a lvl 70 cause I have to be a lvl 70 DOH, is that any DOH? to do it
so like I can be a lvl 70 goldsmith
@shell sail Only other thing I know of is to let Steam download it. Then right click the game in Steam, go to Local Files, and use the Move Install Folder button. You might need to create a new library location in Steam settings first if you haven't already.
Assuming FF14 allows it. I don't have the Steam version, but have other games on Steam that allow that.
Steam doesn't install the game in anything like Documents. Unless you have Steam itself installed into Documents
Which would be silly
@uncut fiber the green token items from a couple level 50 ARR dungeons?
You can add Documents as a library folder I guess. Not good practice to do so though
I’m just running out of memory from the path where the launcher/steam wants me to install it. Anyways, i’ll take a closer look later, so thanks for the help.
@spring oasis yeah any DoH works
@solemn delta clipping has two different definitions, so it's a bit based on context
-
GCD clipping. oGCDs have their own animation lock, so if you try to put one between two full casts, you'll clip slightly into the second one, delaying it slightly. To counteract this, you generally want to try to "weave" oGCDs, using them after fast or instant casts where you'll be waiting on the GCD timer anyways, so you don't incur that slight delay. We have a handy BLM-specific bot command version to explain this if you're interested, it's !faq blmweaving
-
DoT clipping. Basically, refreshing your DoT while it's still applied on the target. For BLM, at higher levels you want to be a bit more specific with thunder and thundercloud proc usage. For proc you use it when the DoT is falling off, or the proc is about to expire. In the latter case, you might clip the DoT slightly to do so, depending on when you got the proc, but this is still reasonable. In the case of hardcast thunder, you want to cast it when the DoT completely falls off. You don't really want to be in a situation to be clipping your DoT with a hardcast thunder. Though, at 60 the lack of a second filler cast for UI (which you'll have at 70, and then a better version at 80 for single target) sometimes means that it's just something you have to do

I've just completed A real reborn and haven't done any of the post ARR stuff yet but every time I go into Castrum Meridianum as a tank I notice that I don't have that good of gear so my hp is only about 2000 while the other tank's is about 7000-9000. What can I do to make my hp larger? Sorry for the dumb question I'm still not completely used to mmo's yet
Question; how do I upgrade my poetics armor? Like my level 60 shire sets
hey all, what's the best way to level from 60 (DNC) to 80? I'm new
@idle heath buy the "-est" items and go to the forge area opposite the centre building
Theres a stall there who upgrades gear
@pure surge make sure you do your job quests. They'll reward some good upgrades for gear, if you haven't already gotten any of that yet. MSQ will also give you more gear along the way, and you can also spend tomestones of poetics in revenant's toll in mor dhona for some ironworks gear (item level i120, can be upgraded to i130). Better gear means more vitality, which means more HP. As well as helping you deal more damage and take less damage, too.
Prioritize weapon, for which you have to purchase 10 rowena's tokens (poetics) and an encrypted tomestone to exchange for a weapon. If you're on PLD you only need 7 tokens, and then the extra 120 poetics go for a direct purchase of a shield. Also look to replace anything that's a particularly lower item level
Yeah I'm on PLD
I've done the job quests up to level 50 and got an armor set but it doesn't seem to do much
what level were you when you finished arr? @pure surge
to make sure, you get two armor sets there. One comes in a coffer which is in your inventory
you can open that up for some ilvl 90 gear
just wondering cuz i havent finished it yet so id like to know where ill be when it end
I was 51 I'm pretty sure
ight
Wait really @raw solstice ?
There's another armor set that I had in my inventory that I didn't know about?
I had no idea about that
Use it, and armor will appear in your armory chest if it is not full
Thanks! The current armor I'm using was only i45/i50
Thanks @raw solstice screened that will have a look after my raid!
@normal oasis roulettes each day as a priority. Try to hit 61 so you can farm heaven on high to level up to 71. Or use dungeons if you're bored/would prefer, but queue times can be a bit slow as a dps. To note though, level 60 (and level 70) dungeons aren't especially good for leveling, they're meant more for tomes. So if you want to farm dungeons to help go over the hump of those levels there, you'll want to farm the level 59 and level 69 dungeons, respectively
Prioritize weapon, for which you have to purchase 10 rowena's tokens (poetics) and an encrypted tomestone to exchange for a weapon.

@raw solstice
How do I get these tokens by the way? I don't think I've heard about them yet
so, for tomestones of poetics themselves, you get them from roulettes and instances starting at level 50. As far as spending them, here's a link which has info on where to buy gear with them at each level cap, along with other information if you happen to have a surplus down the line:
!faq poetics
has locations of NPC, how to upgrade stuff, etc. Lots of good info
Does this kupo bot go down often?
not inherently better or worse, just different
we store all of our faqs and various other special commands on kupo
they have some crossover for what they can do
I must use it to look at pictures of myself
same
And sometimes this
Anyone's game randomly closing recently?
!faq drkopener
I can't say I've had any issues with the game closing lately, myself
oh and regarding that command not working, kupo's server was just manually rebooted on the back end haha

Well I should see a damage difference from 107 to 260 right? Lol
yeah that might just be fairly significant, perhaps~
HP, defense, and damage will all be quite improved haha
Yeah hitting like 3000+ regular fires instead of 900 😂
Still unsure about sharp cast though
so, sharpcast is an ability that forces a proc from fire, from any thunder cast, and also technically from scathe (please don't sharp scathe)
No I read the whole guide says only ever use scathe if your running and boss is like 1% lol
fair enough haha
so basically outside of that you'll generally just want to use it roughly on cd when you can weave it next, on either fire or thunder. Thunder's a bit stronger, but you don't want to have to refresh your DoT early or anything just to catch sharpcast before it falls off. Or if you have to do anything to compromise your rotation just to sharp thunder in a specific situation
Yeah got ya. So always fire unless your thunder is gonna drop
well, not quite that, either
the buff from sharpcast lasts 15s so there's a good bit of leeway in time to use it. At level 60+ you're only casting one fire each AF cycle as well
Yeah I'm just unlocking F4 and B4
Enochian seems simple enough. Keep AF or UI up and you have access to your most powerful single target spells (for now)
yep, pretty much
Is there anyone here good at gardening that can answer a question about crossbreeding?
Do we have any heels like this in game?
@dawn tinsel what’s the question?
I've been reading tons of crossbreeding guides. And many examples never say anything about harvesting slots 1, 3, 5 and 7. Only to harvest 2, 4, 6, and 8 and replant.
Won't the locked corner plants die?
@hoary storm try #glamour-discussion channel if no one answer it for you here
Oh really? what happened to purple smoke? that doesn't happen anymore?
Not for fully grown plants
ahh
Has the harvest sparkles? It’s immortal
I did not know that. awesome, thanks for that key piece of information.
Can i still get the black moogle mask somehow
Mogstation if it’s on there
don't think so
ooh okay ty
also are mount speed maps for ARR useless now that flying is being introduced next patch?
gonna farm moogletomes and dont wanna waste it on them if theyre not gonna be worth anything
i wouldnt bother using moogle tomes on them, yeah
Ay yall
Me and my rl wife of 17 years and a half are saving money in the game to get married
We also have a son of 15 years old who started playing the game
Can we have him registered as a son in our family?
Fantasy family
cute
Family doesn’t really exist per se
Eternal bonding is only the spouses.
^
Since it’s not exactly a marriage
o really
A family-based FC is an option if you have a friend help found it
You are free to start a FC
Can you skip Prae cutscenes if you go unsync?
Nope
Ah I see
Yh i see what chu mean

Thank u yall

Wait do I need to do Alexander savage mode to get Illuminati tautest gobtwine to upgrade my shire gear to ilvl 270?
phew
I have this question for ages now , while leveling my job , do all level 50,60,70 dungeons give the same exp?I can't choose which one to do
There's like 9 level 70 dungeons
Which one do i pick to level up 70-71 then ?
Lvl 69
When you do lvl 50 and lvl 60 jobs, you want Aurum Vale (lvl... 47?) and Great Gubal Library (lvl 59)
I see.. never knew thanks
im trying to log onto my girlfriends account(the game was bought through the website) but I have the steam client version of the game does that make it so i cant log in?
for some reason it gives me an error that the account cant be accessed through this version or something
is there a skybuilder guide for efficiency
Ishgard Restoration and relic guideBy I’nanghal Shikhu(Shikhu#3190) and The Balance discord: https://discord.gg/thebalanceffxiv Updated to 5.25 OverviewCraftingExpert CraftingGatheringRankingsKupo FortuneMacros for the Restoration Skysteel tools(Relic) Ishgard Restor...
this the guide restoration 20-80
@fluid tinsel yeah
Steam is not the same the standalone (which is what you get from buying directly from SE)
unluckers rubber duckers
What channel should I use to find leveling buddies?
thanks
@sleek rapids you can try asking in #retired-na-datacenters
Ok ty
Quests for aether currents should be pretty obvious, right? I'd assume a
on the map somewhere
Figured it would be something like that. Back to the MSQ!
How do I get Lalai’s clothes
I need that outfit yesterday
is the tempest a big questing area?
In terms of story? Yeah
i shall get all the aether locations then!
is bard and/or red mage harder to play than samurai?
um little question, my server is on the last phase of the restoration, can i still do turn ins for scripts and xp when it is complete?
yes
hey guys, yesterday on FF logs I had stumbled on a page that showed the 'most' played classes that were logged.. does anyone know where I can find that page? Everything was listed in %
I have a question, I made a new character but it says that my world is not accepting new characters at the moment. Can I save the character I made so I can pick up where I left off later?
@valid idol red mage, not really. bard has more things to keep track of but i wouldn't consider it that much harder
@brazen edge best time to circumvent that is make a character at night, like between 2-4 AM
https://www.fflogs.com/zone/statistics/33 i think this is that page nick
nah that wasn't it unfortunately
Okay, will my character be saved though? I would I have to start from scratch
it gives you the option to save appearance when you're done creating your character's look

@brazen edge yes, if you are making a new toon you'll be level 1 with no MSQ made
o wait thats only one raid or something idk
@brazen edge but you can transfer your current character to a new server, and it will retain the levels etc
Oh alright, I would have to transfer from the Mogstation right?
yeah, you buy a transfer token or w/e, I think it's 15 or 20$
Ohh alright, thanks
once i hit lvl 80 is it a case of get MSQ up to date then unlock everything? or is there more to it
get msq caught up, because there are Primals/dungeons that are locked behind it
Still need to do MSQ to unlock endgame stuff
You can start collecting the endgame tomestones from roulettes though iirc
oh sick ill carry on then!
Just won't be able to spend them until you finish the 5.0 msq at least
i getcha, im on lvl 79 quests
Ah you're almost done then
yeah i was same lvl as quests all of ShB
way ahead during ARR and HW
also, is there any way i can get this quest exp on another class?
like 800k exp going down the drain each quest
only if you've got another lv 79 job
Do any of the stormblood beast tribes give decent combat xp
ananta and kojin are good for 60-70
can do them a bit into the 70s though they're not going to be as good as pixies
Pixies are wild such crazy xp for the time it takes, thanks for the info!
What is the highest damage potential dps in the game rn?
Fight-dependent.
bleh i dont have anothr 79 😦
Isnt summoner AOE focused?
Ok, how do I get iron and silver ingots?
all jobs have aoe
Not really, but it has better damage if it can keep their dots up against multiple monsters.
It’s not like some jobs are only good for AoE
@urban torrent craft them or buy them from the marketboard.
What job?
ARM/BSM for iron ingot, GSM for silver.
hi does anyone know if I buy an EU key can i use it on my NA account
or will it not work
Won’t work
Ooookay time to join those two things
materials for crafting iron ingot can be bought in tradecraft suppliers in major cities
Silver ores needs to be mined near that one no-aetheryte town next to the quarrymill
or MB
iron ores, if you don't want to buy them, can be mined near that low level mine dungeon entrance
Guys if I dye my boots and then change my glamour plate, will my boots loose the dye?
because there are cases in which my armor just takes the look of another armor piece that I used as a glamour (idk why) and I lose the original look unless I "Cast Glamour"
if I cast it, will my boots still have the dye I used on them?
Dye your boots on the glamour plate
And it will stay that colour
But if your boots arent on said glamour plate
Then it will change
The problem is that my boots are the actual ones I use for battle (Neo-Ishgardian
yes its not the best design but if u dont want to lose your dyes , use them in glamour plates
so i cant just make it a glamour
Then dont glamour over them
I guess my answer would be to buy a new pair for plating?
Just dont glamour over them
Make sure the boot slot of your glamour plate is empty
No cause hes using the boots
Wait
Im gonna change boots soon, as soon as I get another Eden boot anyway
Huh
Just withdraw after
Withdrawing doesn't affect plates
my brain hurts
Doesnt need to stay in the dresser
Put boots in > Put boots on plate with the dye > save > withdraw boots
thats big brain
Items dont need to stay in the dresser once saved on a plate
Uhhh maybe
Yes
Tbh
IRS like
50k for the boots
it has x2 +40 Crit materias, but its nothing too expensive
the boots themself go for like 70k here in goblin
I'll do the dresser -> save thing
You can also try to retrieve the materia first
I tho you cant recover materias
oh, id need spiritbond 100% right?
No
Oh here's a question
Thats for making materia
Is there a way I can make it so my ui changes in battle
just "retrieve materia" then?
Yes
Like I dont need the duty list when I'm in a trial or something
Not without using a macro to change hud layout
There's a setting to hide the duty list during instances
Character config -> UI -> HUD

hey guys
im trying to unlock eden verse refulgace Savage
I completed the required quest and I didn't get it unlocked?
literally just finished that quest
I think you need to go to Ahm mrang and talk to the minstrel there
ah I got it had to speak to lewry
what is the best rotation to maximize quantity from an unspoiled node? just King's Yield?
What quest is before The city of lost angels? tryna start my relic quest but i cant find this side quest in kugane
Welcome To Their Jungle is the quest immediately before it
Sorry to bother, but what options do I have for speed leveling my botanist? Currently level 56 with 7 allowances left
if you haven't done any of the Rabanastre raid quests yet, the first one is Dramatis Personae in Kugane
I still have custom deliveries but that's at level 60
do Ishgard Restoration
Gather in diadem with survival manual and food
so i have my whole game installed but the launcher keeps trying to reinstall the entire thing
you sure it's not installing patches?
it says it's ~31,000 mb in total
Any changes to your account recently? Buying the game, expansions, etc.?
ok yes that would be weird
booted up the ol pooter and now it is mandating i reinstall this entire thing even though the folder is still there
taking up the 40-somethin gigs
30 GB is about the size of the base game. Let me guess, Steam install?
yeeeep
I got nothing. Might just be best to let it go.
lovely 9 hours of downloading
has this happened once or multiple times?
If I were to spam diadem from 56-70, how long would that ideal take?
first time
might be corrupted files or something i dunno
doin a little readin and i think its just steam doing the funny thing where it ""verifies"" files and just ruins the whole thing
prob it
Never attempt to repair through steam if you have it
Yeah
Steam only has ARR, so it resets you back if you try to verify the game files
Hey does anyone know if theres a guild recruitment tab?
i'm trying to join a clan/guild thats newb friendly
There's the lodestone, that's primarily what ppl use for that
There isn't one in-game though, no
There's also the #494379215420915712
I have a 1tb hard drive so I always dupplicate ffxiv in case it does that
(course, that name will differ on server but your main hub server is aether too)
would i be able to just launch the game without steam ever again
so this wont reoccur
That would require buying it outside of steam afaik XP. Maybe try manually starting the exe? Idk if that'll work tho
Thank you
i can start the launcher but i get This service account does not have a valid FINAL FANTASY XIV license for this platform or your subscription has expired.
when attempting to log in or sumn
Ah yeah, probably won't work then xp
What does the letter next to enemies names mean?
it marks identical enemies
Oh
its not specifically identical enemies, its all enemies you aggro gain a letter
its not really used that much, but its just a quick way of being able to tell someone 'hey attack enemy A" or whatever

Where do bone chips spawn
nodes should be like near the steps of nald or thal
Yes, I am there, I have never seen any bone chips
If you look on your map, it should say Spineless Basin somewhere in Central Thanalan
are you on miner?
Yes
and did you use prospect?
Yes.
IIRC, they're closer to the Sultantree than the city
And now I found some. Fucking wonderful.
Boy that Monster Hunter crossover sure was impactful
has anyone gotten reshade to work
So I'm playing on my gf's account and i want to switch her key binds cause it went back to default. Does the binds save on a cloud or on per computer
On the computer
is there a way to import export
There's something on the title screen that can backup and restore settings iirc. I never messed with it.
You can also copy the settings files
Thanks!
Ah, not the title screen, but the character select screen. Right click the character name on the right
And files are in %USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\FINAL FANTASY XIV - A Realm Reborn\
My friends are new and jus finished the my little chocobo quest but can't mount their chocobos n mount guide is grayed out
did they use the whistle
They should have a whistle in their inventory that they need to use
I'm not in a game right now, so does anyone know the price for Form and Function modern aesthetic on market?
Is this a possibile glitch
Also a relevant question for @white bronze - is your friend attempting to mount their chocobo inside of an instance city (Limsa Lominsa, New Gridania, or Ul'dah)?
My friends are new and jus finished the my little chocobo quest but can't mount their chocobos n mount guide is grayed out
Is this a possibile glitch
No. They need to use the Chocobo whistle in their inventory.
Thank u
Does “Shout” mean all players in this area can see the message?
Yes. Any player within the instanced area will see it.
Okay. Thank you

where do I go to unlock astro? Ishgard?
Yep
does the forge you unlock at lvl 80 just give you base lvl 80 gear?
or does it give better gear over time
just the i430 leftside gear and weapon
ok thankyou!
nobody is answering
wheres the lore nerd when you need him
@wintry chasm
hey lore nerd
Is he not in the tower?
not in there
Clearly hiding from you then
this chocobo coloring is confusing me
if it says the plumage will change in 6 hours but there's no "your chocobo is growing new feathers" did it work??
@ember goblet He's ||resting and inaccessible. One of the last scenes in 5.2 MSQ is you telling him to get some rest already.||
if you didn't get the message that your chocobo is growing new feathers, then you didn't feed it enough to cause a change @remote lintel
is there like a maximum amount of times you can change their color in a day
no
oh ok
Is there no way to get regalia now?
right now nope.
Damn
regalia is expected to return in the mogstation
eventually
most event items come back in the mogstation a year after their first introduction
is there a setting that keeps the launcher open when you press play?
if i'm at my home computer i'd rather not use my OTP every time
So basically the mounts are free and if u miss the event period then u gotta pay for it
yep
Just don't log out, Zephyr
so i just started playing for a couple weeks and trying to look into glamour stuff- are the cool looking ones supposed to be giga expensive on market?
or maybe im just poor af idk
usually the latest/newest ones are giga expensive
the older ones calm down over time (similar to irl)
im looking them up for eorzea collection and everything people posted there are either mogstation vanity/giga expensive like 300k a piece
oof
yep.
you can try looking at #glamour-discussion
what does this mean? It has to be the finishing blow, or the attack right before the finishing blow?
also, you can wander limsa and just check out people with interesting glams!!
yeah i've noticed! ppl there and ishgard has super cool looking ones
@nova umbra iirc, its the finishing blow or about 2 to 3 seconds before the mob dies
anyway, its mostly for flavour. its too unpredictable and the bonus too little to aim for it.
Situational and it depends on You
It... can... be useful
sure. people can troll with it but it can also save groups.
Is there rumor of a new job coming in the next patch
you mean limited jobs?
I just imagine pulling a tank out of a AOE thats unavoidable
I don't think so.. I would love that kind or rumour though@pastel knoll
It is worth cuz first of all u can kill ppl who are mean to you and second you can save your buddy :^)
but then i also imagine pulling a tank out of a fight and getting everyone killed
XD
there is some talks about beastmaster or puppermaster as a new limited job but its kinda far-fetched right now
Oh No... not limited jobs...
The concept is bad imo
I hope they reconsider the limited Job aspect 💔
@fluid tinsel a couple of examples,
(1) a boss fight has the arena split into two with a death zone in the middle. rescue anybodying over from left side to right side or vice versa will kill them
(2) party member gets hit by debuff that makes them walk uncontrollably, they are about to walk off the arena, you rescue them and they dont die
rescue also helpful for uptime tricks.
wait so if they split the arena and i rescue it assumes the ally passes through the death zone?
melee DPS has a mechanic they have to go far far away from the boss. mechanic ends, you rescue them to the boss so they can hit it again
they comm you ❤️
yes, rescue can kill people if you pull them over death zones
or pull them out of platforms
unluckers rubber duckers
i remember a healer very committed to homicide, they jump off the platform and rescue someone while jumping to kill them 
Network latency and how the server calculates movement makes Rescue really unreliable a lot of the times. It's unfortunate
It has its Uses, Like I said, It depends on the User and The Situation
are positionals not a thing in potd?
iirc potd mobs are all circles?
yeah looks like it when they're selected it's only a circle
Oh, yeah, that's a thing
anyway, if its a circle no positionals required
so I don't get the bonus, or I always get the bonus?
Only MNK uses Positionals Right?
Rogue has one or two
@nova umbra always get the bonus with circles
oh cool thanks
I know about MNK & Previous DRG but not the other Two
Its a hassle imo these positional are 😓
does Hide have any use against bosses?
not really. most bosses have true sight.
if you are lucky, you might get in a trick attack at low levels before the boss spots you.
Yup @twilit arch
could you explain the reset mudras thing?
I didn't know about that either
!action 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.
so when you become a ninja, you'll get mudras
ten, chi, jin
you have 2 charges of them
once you get high enough in level to get huton
You use your mudras to get huton and then hide to reset them back to 2
Ehhh??? You can charge Mudras using Hide? What if you just used them in Battle and then Hide during battle.. oh
Is there a glamour that represents the greeks’ toga?
You can't use hide during battle
Every melee has positionals
Never mind, Yeah silly Me@twilit arch
Positionals should be reconsidered imo, kinda useless
Ehh...
It's also not exactly hard
My opinion I guess
It's a pretty decent mechanic
does the reset thing only work for huton?
so anything that can be used before you get in combat I'm guessing
so maybe that AOE you drop since it has a cast time?
the hide reset is specifically for your mudras, ten/chi/jin

like if you zone into a trial fight you use jin > chi > ten to put up huton because its your buff you want to keep up always
Where can I find the none-scrapped gear?
and then use hide so your mudras are reset back to 2 so you can use ten > chi > jin to use suiton to trick attack and then be able to use ten > chi to raiton
as a new player, should i get the shadowbringers now? or wait till im at late game?
@mossy tartan you can't get the makai gear anymore. but the republican stuff is bought with wolf's marks in the wolves' den, pvp
I think it’s better to wait, and see if the game is to your liking
@mossy tartan you can't get the makai gear anymore. but the republican stuff is bought with wolf's marks in the wolves' den, pvp
@twilit arch ah.... pvp :/ thank you though
Okay thanks
Frontline
They're relatively cheap
Just do the daily frontline for a guaranteed 1500 to 2000 and you'll be able to get the 3 in
3? 4 fays
Do we have a crafters discord?
It's a roulette for frontline pvp
Do we have a crafters discord?
@olive lintel there’s a craft section for DoH/DoL here
It gives a ton of exp and guaranteed 1000 Mark's on top of how much get for playing
there is also teamcraft and balance has a doh/dol section too
Thanks
I think you should first assign a crafting role to view that section
It gives a ton of exp and guaranteed 1000 Mark's on top of how much get for playing
@leaden ginkgo where can I read about that frontline?
"Like civilised men and women"
Can I farm for E4 for the weapon drops? Or is it still 1drop per week
You can
eden's gate is no longer weekly locked
what does this exactly mean? I use it and it puts my weapon skills on gcd
shadow fang is on the GCD
but it also has its own cd
if you look at spinning edge, or any of your weaponskills besides shadowfang they say something like "recast 2.5s"
the #s might be slightly different depending on how much skill speed you have, but the 2.5s your global cooldown
shadow fang on the other hand, has a recast of 67.27s
so simply put, basically it just means it has a cd of 67.27 seconds
yes
okay lol it's that simple, thanks
Hey guys, new to this and I'm struggling with installation
everytime I try installing it says that it cannot install around 10% in
and when I try redeeming my shadowbringers code on mog it redirects me to a steam page that's flagged as unsafe
@ me if you can help
Hey all. Anyone have any good resources (websites, videos, etc) on making macros?
i really want the fist bump emote, anyone here not bought a sub yet ?
@fervent oar https://ffxivteamcraft.com/profile for crafting
Hey, thanks!
What's an easy way to know which astro cards go on melee or ranged DPS?
I thought having them light up on a hotbar would work but I can't drag them
They have different color borders for melee and ranged
@lime sphinx When you use that i-faq (no dash) command, exactly what FAQ is being searched?
I think purple is for ranged, but I forgot exactly
Special area accessible from the Doman Enclave
u know from where in demon enclave to access?
ya purple for ranged, blue for melee
You can use the aethyrites to go there if you've been before, or take the boat at the harbor
Mister, are you still here?
Is there a good way to distinguish between ranged & melee DPS in party list without relying on the job icons (which I find unintuitive and have not memorized them all)? Like maybe a different color than red? A macro of some kind? I've already gone into party sort and moved all melee DPS to the top and ranged DPS to the bottom of their category, but this can be unevenly distributed in full parties
No, you'll have to memorise the job icons.
I'm learning AST and I haven't had to care before as a WHM, so I'm trying to see how I can make it easier to know what to click & throw a card at without thinking about it too hard
Once you've been doing it long enough, identifying job icons will be second nature and you won't really have to think about it.
Especially if you try playing them all.
is this the channel to get help on UI layout/spell layout?
ty!
here is fine
ok ill get a snip of my spell bar 1 sec
You mean how useful?
looking at feedback on maybe placement of spells, gauges, just general criticism really
yea should i hot bar it?
It's only useful when a fight needs it.
Surecast is situational use only
Some savage raids or ultimates, effective strategy hinges on it.
But otherwise it's useless.
So hotbar it somewhere out of the way.
I usually keep it on a secondary bar so it's out of the way, but available when I need it.
Somewhere you won't fatfinger it, but won't have trouble reaching it in a pinch
@fluid tinsel it has uses for against knockback mechanics
@static pasture take a look at the pinned guide in #protips-and-ui so that you can see how to use macros to create a menu/hide some of your ui elements when you don't need them
@static pasture Placement of spells on your bars is going to be a pretty personal thing. As long as there's logic for you, then it's fine. The primary objective when arranging your bars is to make it so you can easily utilize your abilities when they're needed.
tyty
otherwise i'd probably just move the aether compass off your main combat bars
since oyu don't need it after you get all the currents
its not something you need to hit super often
but if its something that works for you go for it
Aside from that, as Channy said, check out some of the hide-UI macros in the ui channel. I know there's a really slick nested one that I keep meaning to set up for myself that will allow you to effectively keep all of your gear sets under a single main button.

Say, is there a channel to test things so as to not disturb other channels? I'm trying to figure out what the ! faq command does, but I dont' want to do it here.
Okay, thanks much.
How do I turn off emote text in chat? Like "(X person) slaps (X person)" or "(X) gently pats (X)" I have it off on my alt but idr where it is to turn it off
click the gear under the chat window and look for Filters or something like that
Character Settings > Log Window Settings > General > Log Filters
There are "standard emotes" and "custom emotes" settings you can turn off for each log
Aye ty lots~
Okay, guys, I need some good resources on how to learn advanced Discord use. I just found out about the ! faq commands, and I still have little understanding about using bots or understanding them. Where can I get some good information on learning this stuff? Thanks.
The only generic advice I can give is that most bots have a help function to describe the commands they can do. Everything else is going to be really specific to the bot, server, and commands you're trying to use.
!help
Jeez that's a big command list (thank you mysterious mod)
Okay, Goblin, the help function for a bot, where would that be located?
Hek, I don't even understand how these bots work!
Go type !help in #kupo-bot-spam and you'll see it
All the bot really does is read chat messages and respond to them. This bot is programmed to look for messasges that start with an exclamation mark.
Well, I'll start there. I'll have to search the Web, too, to find additional info. (Man, it never ends, does it!)
basically, discord user-made bots like kupo automatically does stuff like another user.
for example, there is a common question and a user could save the answer in their notepad and copy paste it into chat everytime it comes up
we program kupo to automate this for us so we dont have to look for the answer to copy paste
I see. That's pretty crazy. Thanks!
when do you get that dragon icon thing as a summoner? :P
been looking forward to it
which dragon icon
oh you mean the job gauge
the first stage unlocks at level 60 when you get bahamut trance
if that's what it's called yes :D
didn't know it's name lol
at level 70 it shows how long demi-bahamut is activev
oh that's cool I'm close at 53 atm
level 80 it does the same for demi-phoenix
How do you get the gear design contest winner gear?
which one
The ranged dps
5.2 crafted set
do u have mouse buttons
Neo-ishgard
i put sprint and auto run on my mouse buttons
Look up teamcraft
in team craft i have to put the skills i want to use
i was wondering if he can pick me the best rotation or smthn
there are some lists of submitted rotations but most of them wont work now
just make the rotations yourself and train lol
kk
you can look at https://ffxivteamcraft.com/community-rotations
and look at other people's rotations for ideas
or just copy them
What does the RP symbol mean next to one name?
it just means the player character has indicated they are open to RP
Ah
that being said consent is still important
not a game functionality thingy. just a notification
its not recommended to randomly walk up to someone and rp them
Erp?
It may or may not mean ERP

In Primal, are all FCs in famfrit?
is it genuinely true that some of you sit at practice dummies for like multiple hours straight grinding out your rotations? or is that just meme talk
@unique oasis rotations are supposed to become muscle memory so that oyu can apply them in all fights
so yes slapping a dummy long enough is one way to learn them
No, not all FCs are going to be in one server of a datacenter. That doesn't even make sense.
you can only join the FC on your world anyways
I mean like generally. More popular. Lol
thats not a statistic that is easily determined
likely not the case either
Famfrit just happens to currently be a Preferred world
so it might have a larger of population/ larger group of recruiters
potd. if i cleared floor 50 already (save slot #1), then i can delete this slot right?
the progress is saved anyway
so that i can start from 51
yes
cant delete the first slot - Saved data from personal groups cannot be converted.
i need the 2nd saved slot (floor 21-30) in order to farm padjal, as you can see i cant progress from floor 51 (+14/12 only)
im trying to "drop the current grp"
if i reset the progress then both slots are gone i assume
Reset is what you want. Reset = delete
ah got it
Why does the collectables appraiser for goldsmith not accept my items
I crafted them normally and made them hq
Is there something else needed as well
Actually it also shows a box thing next to the name what is that
I haven't done much with crafting stuff but is that how you typically make "collectable" stuff? I thought there was some special process or what not
you need to craft them with collectable synthesis on
you need to turn on the collectable synthesis on
Bruuuh
Ty
Are the abilities the same with collectable synthesis
Or do they change like in mining
Ok ty
and using your skills as normal, but you don't need to max out the collectability bar to get max rewards
What can I do with stuff that monsters drop? If I sell them to a merchant, it has nearly no value. Same for low level equipment. If I got a better weapon for example, what can I do with my old one?
just sell it
if you dont plan on using it for glam
same with parts that u arent going to sell on the mb or use for crafting
ok so I'm trying to progress in the main quest and I'm level 52
it's telling me to finish those 2 but I don't have them in the duty finder
at least not the hard part
no, theyre in the waking sands
Was it Urianger
You also need to complete the previous trial in order to unlock the quest for the next one. So you need to have completed The Bowl of Embers (hard) to pick up the Howling Eye (hard) unlock
and then complete howling eye to pick up the navel's unlock

Pray return to the Waking Sands is usually good advice whenever you're stuck in ARR tbh
@remote lintel What is the meaning of "glam" and "mb"?
glamour and market board
glamour? Never heard of that.
I play the french version so maybe the localisation is different.
Glamour makes your equipment look like other equipment
Oh! Like transmogrification then?
Exactly
i doubt its called that in french
OK, I'll keep that in mind then. Thanks.
No, it's in Diablo and Monster hunter.^^
OK, I've already seen that kind of item. Thank you for the picture.
What about symbiosis of equipment? What is the purpose of this?
symbiosis?
Well, it's in french. When you keep using an equipment, it ultimately gets to 100% "symbiose".
oh
spiritbonding
spiritbond
thats for making materia
the gems you put in equipment to boost stats
you can extract materia (gems basically) from gear you've 100% spiritbonded
though at lower levels its not too terribly important
Can you do that on low level?
yeah, just need to complete the quest "Forging the Spirit" to learn the extract command
some of the low level materia can sell decently since people need it for the a realm reborn relic weapon
"Forging the Spirit" is a
in central thanalan, near the bonfire
yoo, just coming back to the game, whats the fastest way to level an alt without msq, only at 27 rn
Does that mean you skipped the MSQ or you still don't have it unlocked?
msq skip only for ARR
!faq altlvlguide
ty ty
Basically, it's somewhat of a toss-up between spamming the highest level dungeons you can or spamming POTD floors 50-60.
POTD typically wins out for DPS due to queue times
Hi, I have a question regarding the game time in FF14, 30 days game time, does it mean i can play 30 days worth of game or just it runs out after 30 days whether i play it or not?
its your sub, 30 days play it or not
After 30 days regardless of how much you play in those days
Ah okay, thank you for the clarifications.
Are unspoiled nodes based on server time?
no, they're based on eorzea time
yup
So I could totally find some cheap item and just spam it
for the crafting collectables, sure
just make sure you're crafting it with the collector's synthesis on
For gathering is it the same?
you could spam one of the non timed node items, but make sure you've got a lot of cordials on you
And the next few messages below it
kinda confused, says I'm level 52 almost 53, but I'm level 53 summoner? :P
when I open the (O) menu
says 53, but my xp bar shows 52
If I do <pos> in one place then copy the message from history will it have the same position?
I think so? POS basically puts a flag at your position so it grabs the flag again
Kk
@frank anchor never heard of that before, can you take a screenshot?
i think they are looking at the ilvl?
Oh, might be that too
what they can bring back
Oh dang
I am thinking to get retainer boost to make gil
If they 70 then how much would the thangs they bright back sell for?
that's going to depend on what your server's market is like
Same answer
again, its going to depend entirely on your server's market
https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Retainer_Ventures has various links to what can be brought back from the specific 1 hour and 18hr ventures, can take a look at the times and look them up on your marketboard
It depends on which job it has
do people queue up for e5s on duty finder lol
it depends what they bring back and then the value of that depends on how much it goes for on your server
but something to keep in mind is that your retainers can only go so high as you personally are in that job
@polar wave no
and for the gathering retainers, can only bring back items you personally have gathered atleast once
@warped nest whats the best way for me to find a party then
NA/EU use party finder for extreme/savage
party finder
Yeah uh
ah okay tank you
Do your homework and watch videos
Im just wondering if it would make a big difference if I get level boost for retainer
"big difference" by saving you time sure
It does
Oh the ventures take less time?
Just that we cannot give you an exact number
Higher level retainer get better pool
no i mean you won't be leveling it yourself
Even if not accurate at all
Lvl 1 retainer get crap item pool in Quick Venture
yes
does anyone know whether me and my partner both have to buy the platinum eternal bond, or can one person do it?
It take long tho?
Im 80 in all my classes
That I have
yes
Dang
Around a month of casually playing
@leaden ginkgo both
you both will need plat bands if you want a plat wedding
Then you shouldn't worry about making Gil with retainer
that said, one person can buy both bands and give the 2nd one to the partner
if you ping me that again i'm getting a mod
So like lets say I send my retainer out for venture at level 70 twice a day
but all that matters is you both have plat bands
