Casually playing in my case is logging in for 2-3 hours and do the highest ranking 1-hour venture, then I send them out for the 18-hour Venture when I know I won't be playing for the next 12-18 hours

warped nest
leaden ginkgo
Yeah but i just wanna know like the range of what u can earn
remote lintel
1 to 99999999999
warped nest
Cerberus, please dont
leaden ginkgo
Cuz a very bad and inaccurate picture is better than no picture at all
@remote lintel next time u try to troll im getting a mod
warped nest
I would say 1 hour venture (not quick venture) yield around anything between 0.25 - 0.6 of a bar of exp
leaden ginkgo
is to speak to u
remote lintel
well stop
leaden ginkgo
@warped nest no i meant like
zinc orbitBOT
remote lintel
you send them out to get specific mats
remote lintel
you can
warped nest
I made more by processing them
hot eagle
it's all rng ppl can't rly give you an estimate for it
warped nest
So I can't give you numbers on unprocessed materials
leaden ginkgo
U get a $50 mat
remote lintel
what chibi said
leaden ginkgo
And u can sell it for $250 after crafting?
remote lintel
what
leaden ginkgo
Ah ok
warped nest
So yeah, some will pay for raw materials
leaden ginkgo
But if i aint got any crafter
warped nest
Some will pay for processed material
leaden ginkgo
Then i just sell the mats for 50 50
warped nest
Yup
warped nest
Lvl 1 retainer cannot farm higher level items in your standard Venture
And they have very bad selection in the RNG based Quick Venture
leaden ginkgo
I see
But the boosts dont seem to come with any gear for retainer
So is it still worth it?
oh nvm
i can give her mine
warped nest
Retainer, fortunately, don't need high quality gear
vagrant copper
Basic gear for a retainer would be really cheap
warped nest
If you are missing gears, just give them your leftover or buy cheap one from NPC
leaden ginkgo
yeah i got high end gear for level 70 that i dont need at all
ok thaks guys
imma get it
And do they bring back like
3-5 mats
Or just 1?
obsidian patio
10 at a time for most combat stuff
leaden ginkgo
ah
potent tapir
It depends on what you're asking them to bring back. But, as Wynne said, usually 10.
Pineapple Seeds are 1, as an example.
The menu will indicate how much of a given item will be brought back though.
unreal aspen
is there a guide to crafting hq stuff at lower levels?
leaden ginkgo
@obsidian patio btw uh
unreal aspen
i can find a lot of lvl 80 stuff but i cant figure out how to like finish my lvl 40-50 quests
leaden ginkgo
i normally only have 20k in my pocket
Would retainer make a big diff in my income?
remote lintel
better than 20k
leaden ginkgo
Like just better or way better?
would it change my life?
like lets say Im a poor hungry man
remote lintel
depends how you define "way better"?
leaden ginkgo
i have 1 slice of bread
potent tapir
It depends on the level of the retainer and what you're asking them to bring back
leaden ginkgo
Would retainer level 70 ventures daily, give me some sauce on my bread
remote lintel
yes?
potent tapir
Certain items can be passively collected that sell fairly well and often, as an example
leaden ginkgo
Or give me a steak?
remote lintel
it can give both
potent tapir
It's like getting butter for your toast
leaden ginkgo
ah ok
potent tapir
It's not a major difference but it's noticeable
leaden ginkgo
Yeah I see
what are other really easy ways to get gil?
cuz man i be poor af i cant afford all my classes
potent tapir
Actively farming mats via gathering, crafting, farming crafted drops from Extremes, Treasure Maps
potent tapir
There's Crafted Gear
remote lintel
the better lvl 80 gear doesnt cost gil
leaden ginkgo
Im getting neo ishgard for everyone
ember goblet
so where are the namazu quests?
leaden ginkgo
Cuz i aint got much time to play
ember goblet
where they start aagain
potent tapir
Most of your limitations are determined by:
[1] Time
[2] Preexisting Levels
leaden ginkgo
i mean i am going to try to get time soon tho
so just curious
easy ways to make gil
without grinding
twilit arch
unlock quest is in azim steppes @ember goblet
potent tapir
So depending on what you fall into between those two...
remote lintel
@ember goblet perchance to hanami and courage the cowardly lupin
potent tapir
Without grinding?
twilit arch
dailies as well
remote lintel
no it isnt?
potent tapir
You need preexisting fat stacks of cash
remote lintel
like the very start
potent tapir
Crafting is the fastest way to way money but it requires money
ember goblet
ookay
twilit arch
i assume refia's not talking about the pre-req qusts
remote lintel
what level are your crafters/gatherers
leaden ginkgo
All 0 or 1
remote lintel
then you can't buy the boost
leaden ginkgo
there no boost for crafter at all
remote lintel
you need at least one lvl 70
potent tapir
Then you'll need to invest time which can mean Gathering, Farming Extreme Drops, or doing some other side content that has stuff to sell
remote lintel
your retainers can't surpass your own level
potent tapir
There's that too, of course
remote lintel
you should have told him that before
fallow fable
Is there any daily/weeklies checklist other than doing roulettes everyday
fallow fable
75
leaden ginkgo
i thought it just good with one of my fighting levels
remote lintel
you could do wonderous tails or hunts
leaden ginkgo
but so i need one of them crafting levels to be 70 to boost?
remote lintel
then they wont bring back the materials that gatherers bring back
potent tapir
@twilit arch, what's the hotkey to see the daily/weekly resets? For @fallow fable
leaden ginkgo
ahh right
twilit arch
its !reset
leaden ginkgo
the ventures are gatherers ig
potent tapir
In-game, Kael, sorry.
oak ice
Ctrl u
potent tapir
leaden ginkgo
bruhhh this game really dont want me to make no money
leaden ginkgo
bruh i be workin like a cow in real life
oak ice
You don't really need money outside of teleport costs and repairs
Only for buying glam and crafted gear at 80
potent tapir
Heresy. I need money for the sake of money, Platt.
leaden ginkgo
yeah for me i just need to get the neo ishgardian sets
oak ice
Okay, I will agree to that
leaden ginkgo
I only got 3 classes that are fit for high level shit
remote lintel
you should have been racking up tomestones just by doing stuff
leaden ginkgo
yeah well i have one class specifically for the tomestones tho
potent tapir
The weekly tomestones are i490...?
oak ice
Get to i470 and do the ex trial
potent tapir
So it can help a lot
oak ice
Ye, allegory is i490
leaden ginkgo
i only got 1 of them 490 atm haha
potent tapir
Yeah, no worries. It takes time but if you aren't investing too much time anyway, it'll feel faster.
It's more annoying if you're actively spending time in-game and not advancing.
leaden ginkgo
but yeah actually u right
i dont really play the other classes much anyway
it just feel like
ur missing something u know
potent tapir
You can also try squeezing into Eden Savage's fights (specifically the 5th floor) if you want a shot at some i500 gear that's...not suuuper bad to obtain.
leaden ginkgo
Am i able to with no team tho?
potent tapir
Although...I think reports are still mixed on Party Finder's ability to clear it
You would have to use Party Finder, most likely. Unless you already have people to run it with.
remote lintel
soloing eden savage fights??
potent tapir
But you cannot run it alone, no.
leaden ginkgo
no i meant with no static
potent tapir
Give it a few expansions.
leaden ginkgo
with randoms
remote lintel
maybe?
potent tapir
You can use Party Finder for a pick-up group.
remote lintel
you might get some really bad people if you run with randos
leaden ginkgo
i heard they be taking like 6 hours to beat
potent tapir
They can if people are really bad, yeah
leaden ginkgo
haha imma one of them too 😂
oak ice
They're 10 minute-ish fights, learning them is what takes time
potent tapir
But most PUG's follow preset strats/guides
leaden ginkgo
Ah i see @oak ice
potent tapir
And then the fight time reduces if you're able to execute them
leaden ginkgo
i thought they super long like bahamut and shit
potent tapir
As Platt noted
leaden ginkgo
yeah i see
remote lintel
did you unlock the regular eden trials?
potent tapir
You should unlock that
leaden ginkgo
wait nvm
remote lintel
you have to do the regular ones first
potent tapir
Good luck, Mister Smack

forest lark
So 2 weeks for ceystarium robe ..
Crystarium*
Anything else good to substitute crystarium robe?
clever cave
yup
obsidian patio
Idealized armor from Memoria Misera Extreme
Also the Eden Normal gear or the Neo-Ishgard crafted set.
forest lark
I do have currently ishgardian set
But I see everyone using crystarium
I guess I'll have full set in a month or so
twilit arch
yes
vestal jay
so no hevensward etc or anything
twilit arch
nope
vestal jay
ok how do i just get Heavensward
dusky nest
you dont
twilit arch
if you want the expansions, you either need to buy shadowbringers as well or buy complete edition, which is base game + expansion
vestal jay
so wait buying just shadowbringers for 40 gives me all the others?
twilit arch
yes
vestal jay
wow...
twilit arch
they roll the expansions into the current one
vestal jay
i wish i knew that
twilit arch
so if you already own the base game, you just need to buy the current expansion
you dont have to worry about buying each expansion individually
vestal jay
i was actually about to cut my loses cause someone said even if you buy SB you don't get the others
people should stop making dumb comments
i've been researching this like 2 days lol
twilit arch
just to be clear, shadowbringers only gives you the previous expansions (heavensward and stormblood). it won't give you the base game (a realm reborn)
potent tapir
The only time you have to worry about that is if you own the last expac (let's say ShB) and want to buy the new expac (uh, NE)
whole wasp
Fyi, SB is stormblood. We generally refer to shadowbringers as ShB.
potent tapir
Then you'll be paying the 40 or whatever USD and only getting that new expac (since you already have the preexisting expacs)
potent tapir
Then, yeah, there should be no other scenario where you should have to worry
deft hound
I was just curious, I am currently level 65 WHM, and if I wanted to try a new job, do I just complete all the new job quests then I am back to where my WHM is at?
bitter plaza
no, you'll also have to level the new job you unlock
some jobs start at higher levels though
and you get more xp if you level a job that's at a lower level than your current highest job
potent tapir
All of your classes/jobs are calculated separately
So you would be:
WHM 65
New Class n (where n is starting level)
You can switch back between classes as you please
deft hound
Oh, so if I start a Lancer to go to a dragoon, I will be level 1 and have to level up to 65 through the msq again?
potent tapir
No
crimson wind
If someone uses healer LB3 in an alliance raid, does everyone get raised?
potent tapir
You'll only have to do the Lancer and Dragoon quests if you want to unlock abilities
Only your alliance gets raised
twilit arch
@crimson wind only your party
potent tapir
So if you're in Alliance A, only A
crimson wind
Thats bs
deft hound
Ah so just do quests, fates, roulette, etc
twilit arch
that's how limit break and aoe beneficial spells work 
potent tapir
Yes
deft hound
Thanks for the help!
radiant brook
to get elemental armour for a class you want, do you have to do that specific class? or can you just go through the quest once and unlock it for all?

any class will do

the levelling roulette
frank anchor
ok so I'm currently a summoner, can I now become a scholar? queue times for dps are extremely long and I wanna finish the MSQ and get to 80 already.
potent tapir
Cause newbies need it done
humble birch
I should have gotten minimum 135k
potent tapir
And it's a light party
young canopy
I think I subbed at 1200 and by 1400 I had already gone down 1 day, but I might need additional confirmation
humble birch
instead of 6300k
faint flare
Its part of story and 4man
humble birch
6.3K*
potent tapir
Same reason for why MSQ roulette is separate since it's an 8 man

/playtime day? Im confused.
twilit arch
they're talking about for sub
whole wasp
Oh sub day
young canopy
like when does it start counting that 1 day had already gone through your game/sub time
potent tapir
For daily reset, I think
young canopy
I don't have much in the way of money and 1 day wasted/lost on gametime card usage feels bad
warped nest
Unless you are playing the full 30 days 24/7
whole wasp
I think its because 29 days and 20 hours is written down as 29 days
warped nest
Then you aren't losing time
whole wasp
So it ticks to 29 very quickly.
warped nest
Just play more next week end and what ev
young canopy
hmm, so it counts by hours and not by game-days?

You need to have the quest "Soul without Life" active

okay cool thanks!!
frank anchor
so I unequipped my soul crystal from being a summoner and now says I'm an arcanist, but I can't equip the scholar stone, the error it gives me is "to equip the soul of the scholar you must first change your class to arcanist".
twilit arch
you need a scholar book most likely
frank anchor
potent tapir
You need a Scholar compatible book
twilit arch
there should be a vendor in market area that sells some low level books that sch can use as well

Sch books are usually called codex.

JP voice cutscenes is slightly faster.
twilit arch
Unless you're in a group with a bunch of sprouts
not much can really kill you in prae
oak ice
You can't be damaged in cutscenes
And unless they're using the exploit to skip cutscenes, there's not that much difference
crystal bluff
If they started combat without a healer and get killed, that's their fault
Praetorium is a lot more linear than castrum

Is Ompagne in the SB DRK artifact armor?

do you get 1 soul crystal per job, or is it like different rarities and ilvl?

1 per job
frank anchor
oh cool

It's not weighted towards the average

Yup. The ilvl on the crystals dont affect your overall ilvl.

Anyone else got an issue where sometimes their alt+number keybinds don’t work? Even restarting the game doesn’t help

i've never tried alt+numbers, does it work to register them in the keybind settings?

could be a numlock problem?
alt+numbers is usually used for special characters as well

Hey yall im having a super weird problem rn
So basically i unlocked the arcanist skills energy drain fester swiftcast etc
And whenever i use these skills specifically my game drops from 60 fps to 18~ fps and my screen gets a yellowish hue that doesnt go away until i restart my pc
obsidian patio
👀
clever cave
... pc specs?
obsidian wren
that is very unusual
obsidian patio
yeah that sounds like subpar PC parts and/or missing files
obsidian wren
could maybe try to click repair in the launcher
hollow nimbus
I have a i7 something something and a rtx 2060 my spec arent the problem @clever cave
obsidian wren
or backup your settings in the client and do a reinstall
hollow nimbus
Im gonna try the repair thing first
clever cave
Possible outdated drivers and the usual stuff, settings in config maybe
obsidian wren
are you using any shaders?
clever cave
Are u using custom settings or default high/low
hollow nimbus
Honestly i was super scared when it happened last night i thought i played too much and fried my pc loll
Custom
frank anchor
ok so swapping from summoner to scholar, they appear to be the same level atm, both are 53, wasn't I supposed to restart from level 1 or somehting?
obsidian patio
nope
clever cave
Sch and smn share level
obsidian wren
no, both classes use the base job of arcanist
clever cave
Do not be alarmed
obsidian wren
so they share experience
theyre basically arcanist with an extra item equipped to turn them into sch or smn
frank anchor
oh, so what other jobs share the same experience too? where can I find that :D
obsidian wren
only those 2
obsidian patio
only them
obsidian wren
you'll still be needing equipment for both of them though
hollow nimbus
I tried once and put standard-laptop settings
I gained like 30 fps no more
Also the yellow hue was still there
Just to be clear the yellow hue isnt just in the game it was on my screen overall even after closing the game
Btw where’s the repair thing on the launcher? Cant see it

Only from ff14?

every time
and i couldnt figure out why
hollow nimbus
ohhh maybe
my fester is bound to the ctrl + x hotbar
so it might trigger something in the background

hollow nimbus
the bind to turn on meeting and theater mode are ctrl + é key

Dragon Center?
hollow nimbus
its an msi thing

Oh
hollow nimbus
its basically a hud where you can see ur performance temperature fan speed etc
and change the way ur pc works
next wind
hey guys, been thinking to try out melee and deciding between dragoon or samurai, what's everyone's opinion? Dragoon looks more flashy/fun and samurai is the highest dps. So I'm in two minds
hollow nimbus
so if it prioritize performance or economy etc
potent tapir
Oh, that!
hollow nimbus
and there are "preset" pc settings that arent meant for gaming but are bound to certain keys
so whenever i used ctrl+ something in ff14 it switched to another preset and dropped me fps
potent tapir
Oof
My laptop has something similar to that but it's a bunch of physical buttons
(it's nice cause it's separate from the other buttons)
hollow nimbus
i kept restarting my laptop i thought i killed it for playing ff14 too much
potent tapir
hollow nimbus
really relieved to know it was that
potent tapir
Yeah, that's good to know
next wind
ff14 is not that resource heavy tho isn't it?
next wind
I guess bigg cities and alliance raids can slow down on older pcs
sleek roost
Uses a bit of CPU but that's about it
hollow nimbus
yes but the preset modes were those "meetings" and "theaters" modes that literally changed ur screen color and slowed ur fans @next wind
next wind
oh i see
sleek roost
Turning off player effects is a major frame rate (and sanity) gain for 24-mans anyway
next wind
haha yea when I run my fans at max I'm good
potent tapir
I know I get a weird slowdown in very specific parts of E8S
I'm not sure why though
next wind
but at lower level I get 90+ temps lol
next wind
so anyone played dragoon and samurai? Which one is more fun for a beginner melee in ff14? I play mch currently
potent tapir
Uh, people seem to have more fun with SAM since it's less prone to killing itself
next wind
haha okay
sleek roost
How dare you watch my Dragoon play
potent tapir
Dragoon has a reputation for dying because of...how it works
next wind
dragoon looks more flashy and therefore more fun, but I guess being jump locked and killed due to boss aoe sucks
sleek roost
But it's all personal preference anyway. No harm in leveling both

i thought it was impossible but i just want to make sure, you cannot dye the level 50 relic armour set right? not the one you get over time with the job quests but the one you get from a coffer at lvl 50

The coffer one?

it might be called "elemental"?

materia have different grades which gear must meet the minimum for

Although I personally don't think there's much point in slotting materia in leveling gear anyway. You level too fast for it to matter
gritty oracle
Is it possible to DM yourself in game? (I'm not at home rn so can't test)

Like /echo?
obsidian patio
Pretty sure not, but you can use /echo to send messages to a chat channel only you can see.
dim ridge
did they fix that "friend your alt" glitch or did people find a new one?
obsidian patio
Pretty sure it's fixed or vastly harder to do now.
raw moss
hey so im new to the game and want to heal,, would arcanist be better or conjurer?
twilit arch
arcanist starts out as a dps, so you'd have to wait until you're lvl 30 and can pick up the scholar job before you're able to heal

is it not possible to set max value for /random?

how much money would 480ilvl be to craft ?
next wind
just hit level 70 as mch and flamethrower is still 'not learned' but there's no class quest option? how can I learn this skill?
or is it because I'm well above my msq which is still at lv60?
leaden ginkgo
Class quest
Your level 70 skill comes from class quest
If you havent started stormblood MSQ
You wont be able to unlock it
simple nymph
hi, i'm new; i want to play dark knight. Do i have to play through to 50 and beat do a quest before i can become one?
or is it just available at lv 30
rough anchor
Need to have gotten to heavensward DLC
forest laurel
you have to get to heavensward
forest laurel
you need to get to the DLC, not just have it.
rough anchor
Get to heavensward
simple nymph
so does that mean progressing in the story to a certain point
forest laurel
ye
simple nymph
so if i'm making my first character and i want it to be a dark knight
forest laurel
you can't.
simple nymph
do i need to make a 2nd account to get to that part
and then go back on this one after it's unlocked
gray mortar
its not like wow
forest laurel
so if I made an alt, I'd need to get to Heavensward if I wanted to become a dark knight.
simple nymph
that's weird
forest laurel
Fortunately Heavensward is the only expansion that does this bc Stormblood and Shadowbringers jobs all start in base game areas.
like Dancer starting in Limsa Lominsa
simple nymph
i've seen info that says i need to finish the our end quest at lv 50 and then it unlocks dark knight at lv 30
gray mortar
oh I never knew that
simple nymph
which is very confusing information to reconcile
and i'm wondering if something fchanged that i'm not understanding
mystic yew
yup, after you get to the city of ishgard you can unlock drk, ast and mch
mystic yew
you get to the city of ishgard after doing all the level 50 msq quests
forest laurel
completing the 
Before the Dawn will put you in Heavensward
forest laurel
Because that's the level that DRK starts at.
mystic yew
bc when you unlock the job, you start at level 30 again
cobalt quest
Hi all. So I’m at the deep end of the ShB MSQ where I played Thancred. The GNB 1-2-3 combos are keybinded to one key. How can I do that to my keybinds? I looked everywhere!

You can't.
mystic yew
you can't
cobalt quest

Gotta deal with the ol 123
mystic yew
they do it for you in pvp too, but in pve it's impossible

(or it's very bad and just not worth it via macros)
gray mortar
Sorry to bump my question but how much would you pay a crafter to craft 480 gear ?
I am returning player and I am at a wall in 5.2 msq
magic light
I remember a talk about macros, but I'm not sure if I remembered it right.
Can a macro activate another macro?
you can buy it from marketboard
magic light
i remember a talk on how to get pass 15 lines
sleek roost
Although there are plenty of crafters in Party Finder who will be willing to craft a full set to order for less than the marketboard price @gray mortar
dim ridge
@gray mortar tomestone gear is likely to be easier
forest laurel
also you don't really need 480 gear to complete the MSQ, tho it will help
sleek roost
How much gil that ends up being is entirely server-dependent. You'd need to go look on the marketboard
simple nymph
so if i want to be a dark knight, should i start one of the other tank classes like paladin or warrior until i unlock dark knight? or do i just stay as gladiator
forest laurel
@simple nymph starting as a tank will help you understand how the role works better
so go for gladiator/paladin or marauder/warrior.
mystic yew
gladiator is a tank class
sleek roost
You should be getting free gear from the MSQ. Worst case just grind some dungeons and buy a couple tome pieces if you're really struggling
mystic yew
what level are you xerofile?
sleek roost
480 crafted isn't worth it if your net worth is 1mil
simple nymph
i am still in the intro dialogue on the carriage lol
mystic yew
oh ok! yeah just remember to always do msq and blue quests
simple nymph
ok
gray mortar
True they have done it for me before but I dont like leeching off them
mystic yew
don't do side quests ever, and try to not burn yourself out over the level 50 quests, there's a. lot. of them
young yarrow
I just give them the stuff they need
forest laurel
focus on MSQ and blue quests 
gray mortar
I should just not be lazy and grind tomes I guess
sleek roost
We're so far into this patch now that any friendly crafter is probably drowning in mats. The only thing I make my FC members give me is the tome mats
But yeah basic tome gear will also get the job done
vague nimbus
hi, i was planning to do the anima relic quest for my blm because i love how the lunaris rod looks as glamour. at what point in the anima quest does the weapon not evolve to look different? or would i have to fully complete the entire anima saga to be happy with how it looks/glows?
leaden ginkgo
Eh
Well after this it awakens and then you get a new form after that
This is the final version

i thought the kaladanda was a eureka weapon
faint flare
Nah
obsidian wren
Eureka does have a staff with an eye as well iirc
vague nimbus
i just want it to stay as the moon looking thing
vague nimbus
ilvl wise isn’t it pointless to do the full quest though
leaden ginkgo
Since you're not using it for stats just glamour
You're only doing the quest if you want the glamour
obsidian wren
Eh, if you want ilvl you can just buy a shire
vague nimbus
i just want to stop once the lunaris rod glows
leaden ginkgo
If you're happy with what it is now then stop
vague nimbus
@obsidian wren already did.
leaden ginkgo
Then stop after the quest "toughening up"
That's when you get
!itemglam lunaris rod awoken

vague nimbus
got it! i’m guessing after that the lunaris changes from glowing lunaris to something else?

Yes

You can open a ticket to report cheating from the help menu, but you'd have to type their names
misty talon
my character is not appearing on my character selection screen, can someone help?
jade quartz
System Menu -> Support Desk -> Contact Us -> search for the "report cheating" ticket
unfortunately it's a very clunky process
@misty talon are you on the correct datacentre?
jade quartz
Your current server.
misty talon
@jade quartz yes

Oh does it mean like that aite

Can you show a screenshot?

Is Omega your home server?

solemn delta
Been practicing my 60 blm rotation after getting B4 and F4 and I wondered why is F4 in my aoe rotation?
jade quartz
If you're not sure of your home server/world, then the fastest solution is probably just using the drop-down menu and checking each server.
zinc orbitBOT
solemn delta
Yeah I've got both guides just wondered why F4 in an AoE rotation that's all but I think you've explained
Only use F2 if a lot of mobs
misty talon
@jade quartz I'm on the free trail, does that make a difference?
jade quartz
something like five or six plus mobs for F2
fresh lodge
No it shouldn't
jade quartz
@misty talon shouldn't make a difference. Have you checked each server from the drop-down list to see if your character is there?
Sorry, should note "World" and "Server" are synonymous
Check each world from the "World" drop-down menu
misty talon
I've checked light and chaos and neither of those works
tender plover
There's this discord server, raidSTARS, that I liked the sound of but all invites seem to be expired. Does anybody know what happened with the server?

So Omega is correct then.... Have you tried closing the game and logging back in?
simple nymph
question
so there are quest markers that are like
gray in the background
and some that are light blue right
not counting the like bright blue but a very subtle blue
that's the difference between main quest and sidequest right
arctic gust
blue quests with a + sign are sidequests that unlocks content & features

solemn delta
In my aoe rotation I have 4300mp left when casting flare... But it says save 800? Where am I going wrong cause I'm following it to a T on a dummy.
next wind
lol Shey was faster haha
arctic gust
barely 🤣
fresh lodge
Its saying you need at least 800mp before casting Flare
solemn delta
But if your following rotation you have over 4000 every time?
leaden ginkgo
@solemn delta b it will use all of your
MP
But you need 800 to use it minimum
Twinning and akadameia ayner@pine carbon
strange coral
Akademia Anyder and The Twinning. One is unlocked from Crystarium, the other from the lowest level of Eulmore
solemn delta
Yeah then you transpose and restart
misty talon
@jade quartz @strange coral @fresh lodge k so came to the conclusion i made 2 free trial acoounts and logged in on the wrong one🥴 , appreciate the help!!
pine carbon
oh
leaden ginkgo
What level are you
leaden ginkgo
I meant ripe
solemn delta
I just don't understand the importance is mentioning you need 800mp for flare when you have over 4000 if your following rotation.
I guess only thing I can think off is if there's tons of mobs and your using F2
leaden ginkgo
Because
They didnt create the skill with the rotation in mind
They're just telling you, you need atleast 800 mp
solemn delta
60
leaden ginkgo
To use this skill
arctic gust
@solemn delta it just mention the minimum you need to execute the command
solemn delta
Right. Just confused me when I was left with 4000 lol
leaden ginkgo
!faq blmleveling
zinc orbitBOT
solemn delta
Yep following 60-67 now
leaden ginkgo
I was trying to remember the rotation
raw solstice
depending on MP tick timing and sps, you might be in a weird situation with MP
solemn delta
But yeah on aoe your left with 4300 before flare
raw solstice
so just listing the "hey if the next cast won't leave you with enough MP for Flare, just Flare"
arctic gust
as Albert said, they didnt make the skill with the rotation in mind, as the rotation often changes.. whether its by level sync or new balance adjustments and what not, so it only tells you what minimum you need for the command to execute so that you can plan where to weave it in your own rotation
solemn delta
Yeah. Knowing the 800 could come in handy fighting 6+ mobs and using F2
leaden ginkgo
Ubb
solemn delta
Especially considering the cost of F2
leaden ginkgo
If I remember correctly
You only use your aoe rotation at 60
If there's 5+ enemies
raw solstice
that's what's listed, yes
leaden ginkgo
Yeah it does
But I remember reading on the guide thats it's better to just use your single target
solemn delta
Yeah F4 damage is nice
raw solstice
well, I guess just to state it a bit more for clarity haha
you use the listed "AoE rotation" for that span of levels at 3-4 mob count. Which is basically a single target rotation with Flare/Freeze at the ends
solemn delta
Yeah yeah
raw solstice
and then at 5+ you go to the full AoE rotation, for what's listed in the previous category
yeah just making sure since it sounded like you both agreed but didn't at the same time haha
little different wordings, but you both get it, I think
solemn delta
I keep forgetting sharp cast need to put on main bar lol
Aww bloody hell just sat for 30 minutes learning rotations and now I gotta enter a 59 dungeon cause 60s are awful exp lol
raw moss
so im an arcanist, is there a way to bind ruin to right click? since auto attack does nothing
raw solstice
auto attack still has an effect (you just have to be in melee range to get in the book smacks). It's not super notable particularly at higher levels but just in general, no you won't be able to put a separate keybind on right click, as far as I'm aware
raw moss
yeahh by "nothing" i just meant the damage was bad, but i figured out that it smacks for little damage
zinc orbitBOT
raw solstice
it actually adds up to be a decent bit at lower levels
but still not super worthwhile worrying about, either
quiet crystal
!faq smnleveling
zinc orbitBOT
raw solstice
only BLM has the leveling command, since the rotation changes so much along the way. Also, for trying random bot commands it's preferable to use #kupo-bot-spam . You can also browse through faq items with !faq
lofty pulsar
I installed the DLC, does the lvl cap automatically get removed or do I have to reach heavensward first?
strange coral
It's automatic. You can start leveling past 50 long before you reach HW
lofty pulsar
Alright, do I just not get xp for monsters when I'm a certain level then? even like 1 xp? 😂
misty talon
quick question, what is the disciple of war?
fresh lodge
Any physical class
young yarrow
So Tanks and Melee
misty talon
ok thanks
leaden ginkgo
And ranged
strange coral
Lower level monsters might not give XP if you're much higher than them I think. Also some quest monsters don't give XP if they spawn only for that quest
fresh lodge
And physical ranged
young yarrow
Ranged is Ranged Physical technically but yes
smoky cave
obs and ffxiv still getting issues or am i doing something wrong?
fresh lodge
What kind of issues?
smoky cave
not hooking ffxiv , on fullscreen mode
fresh lodge
Which input type are you using?
smoky cave
do u mean the "game capture"?
smoky cave
will try that
game capture with specified window , doesnt work , so i dont think window capture will work xD
next wind
speaking of fullscreen, is it possible to not lose the sound of the game when clicking to other apps like chrome on the other screen or discord?
It's quiet annoying during cutscenes if I'm googling something I can't hear the sound anymore and need to click back into the game each time, which sometimes results in skipping dialogue
smoky cave
it has an option for that i think
fresh lodge
Yeah there should be an option under audio to enable background sound
smoky cave
i use it when i am on queue searching for duty
smoky cave
not working , when i alt tab or smth it shows , but when i go to the game , blackscreen xD
modest gust
Guys i am not getting any exp after killing any target .. why?
strange coral
You want the "Play sounds when window is not active" settings in System config @next wind
next wind
alright that's useful 🙂 thank you
smoky cave
any tip @fresh lodge ? XD
fresh lodge
Are you running the game i borderless?
strange coral
In my experience OBS is finicky with fullscreen games, so I would always run in borderless if possible
smoky cave
i run all the games in fullscreen and has no trouble
but if i put this on borderless , the performance difference is high..
it works , but i dont want to play like that
strange coral
Have you set a hotkey to enable game capture? You'd have to hit it everytime you switch back to the game after alt-tabbing out.
muted sun
@modest gust the mob comes in ffxiv is low, are you many levels higher than the monster? It will make a difference
smoky cave
yep , trying that right now @strange coral and not working with game capture xD
leaden ginkgo
is there a way to set ground targeting to cast on release of button or second press of button?
for kbm
modest gust
@muted sun I am lvl 51 and the monster 40
muted sun
You won’t get any cup for that as you outlevel the monster
Sorry autocorrect I meant xp

u can cast something below u with a macro @leaden ginkgo
like Salted Earth on you (drk area)

On PS4, can you guys change gamma correction in-game? Seems to have no effect and kinda hard to see at (in-game) night. Do I have to change on the PS4 system itself?

@strange cedar there is an option in the system config, however i never seen much a diff from it and ended up tuning it on my screen
but you do have the option in System Config > Display Settings
strange cedar
@arctic gust yes, I did try adjusting it there but it doesn't seem to make any difference. Thanks for the feedback!
