questions-and-help

[wheat hazel]

Does it have any aoe heals?

[twilit arch]

yes

all healers can single target and aoe heal just fine

[agile laurel]

Yep. Succor GCD, indomitability aetherflow ogcd

And then Hot aoes etc etc

[fresh lodge]

SCH has a lot of AoE heals

[wheat hazel]

So in the scenario your team is all really low on hp sch shouldn’t have any issues dealing with that? Sorry for my ignorance 😂

[brazen hawk]

Stupid Question, but .. how do I leave a Group after a Activity? I dont find any button or menu point.

[agile laurel]

Press U, top option

And yeah, indomitability gets that sorted pretty easily

[fresh lodge]

You can just right click yourself in the party list and go leave party

[agile laurel]

Even just recit force-crit indomitability if really necessary

[magic light]

what level are you asking for?

[leaden ginkgo]

Hey all, new player currently playing through the expansion. Not sure if I'll end up subbing yet, but if I did would I get good gear for my levels just by playing through the MSQs for all the expansions? And then only start grinding for stuff once I complete the whole story?

[wheat hazel]

Its at 70 haven’t really touched it yet tho

[agile laurel]

quest gear will see you through the quests comfortably, if that's what you mean

[wheat hazel]

Ima give it a shot now though! Thanks got my hopes up

[magic light]

okay, here's what it should look like at that level

[fresh lodge]

The MSQ will keep you geared up nicely

[magic light]

everyone got hurt slightly? touch fey blessing and everyone should be topped off

[fresh lodge]

You can also pick up poetics geat at 50/60/70

[twilit arch]

yes, the main scenario quest keeps you pretty geared while you're leveling. Once you're at 80, thats when the game expects you to start grinding to gear up @leaden ginkgo

[magic light]

whispering dawn on cd? hit indom, no aetherflow? emergency tactics succor

[leaden ginkgo]

Thanks everyone. Will quest gear also mean you won't be a weak link for any multiplayer stuff you'll do at your current level before you're at 80?

[agile laurel]

And if its just your tank taking damage, aetherpact excog and then just start dpsing

Nah, you'll be fine

[robust crow]

if you can enter the dungeon at all then you won't hold back your party

[twilit arch]

ya, the gear you get is generally more than fine for dungeons

[wheat hazel]

@magic light thank youu what’s a good place to start practicing

[magic light]

idk, a dungeon

[agile laurel]

SCH does have a heckin ton of oGCDs that you should understand

[magic light]

deployment tactics is...

[leaden ginkgo]

thanks, it's reassuring to know I can just play through the gear and be properly geared out and not hold any teams back for a while. I was worried when I saw posts on reddit about people getting kicked off of raids and stuff for having bad gear lol

[wheat hazel]

Ya I still need to figure out this whole gcd and ogcd thing in general

[magic light]

you want to use adlo on someone or yourself, and use deployment tactics on the person with it

[robust crow]

that isn't a problem until literally endgame @leaden ginkgo

[agile laurel]

if you've never rescued someone with catalyze next to everyone else so you can use deployment

idk

[leaden ginkgo]

a problem for my future self then

time to enjoy the story and have a good time

[robust crow]

you can use the dungeon queue to queue for literally anything you need and have like a 90% chance of success even at level 80 raids

it's savage content (mythic raid bosses if you're from WoW) that you'll need a group for

[agile laurel]

(I'd equate savage to heroic personally but yeah about right)

[leaden ginkgo]

Makes sense. This is my first ever MMO so I'm excited to try out multiplayer dungeons for the first time

[robust crow]

well..

I've got some unfortunate news for you

the early dungeons, like all the way before 50, are very easy and quite braindead

good for learning though

I don't think dungeon mechanics pick up until heavensward

[agile laurel]

Mm-hm. They're meant to be done with minimal thinking/minimal gameskill

[leaden ginkgo]

yeah the game is not hard at all so far

oh well

[robust crow]

what class are you playing as?

[agile laurel]

It definitely picks up around Heavensward

[leaden ginkgo]

I was hoping for more a chill experience anyway. I decided to go with Tharma whatever

[agile laurel]

aka 'Ravana wants to know your location' mechanics spike

Thaumaturge?

[leaden ginkgo]

Which makes things even easier

yeah

[robust crow]

yeah, I think ravana was probably the first big wake up call

for actually doing mechanics

[agile laurel]

Ravana was about when I decided going in blind to heal was overrated

[solemn delta]

I've not done savage but it looks harder than heroic imo

[leaden ginkgo]

I'm trying to actually learn my class and the best rotation though

[solemn delta]

I've only watched the videos in preparation

[leaden ginkgo]

even though with my class it's mega easy lol

[agile laurel]

Thaum/Black mage rotation changes HEAVILY as you unlock spells

[robust crow]

thaumaturge (usually referred to as black mage) is a really easy rotation

[agile laurel]

Understand the basics but don't get attached

[robust crow]

it changes a lot but it's relatively simple

[agile laurel]

Yeah

[leaden ginkgo]

I've looked up some guides for how I'll upgrade my rotation as I get new spells

[robust crow]

thing about black mages is you have to go into all the hard fights basically knowing everything

[leaden ginkgo]

right now it's VERY simple lol

[twilit arch]

!faq blmleveling

[zinc orbit]

THM/BLM leveling rotations

[twilit arch]

i would suggest saving this image

[robust crow]

because you need to know where the best places to stand still are

[agile laurel]

Yeah, you'll find that moving is pain

[robust crow]

black mages and dragoons also get a bit of a bad rep

because they die a lot

[leaden ginkgo]

that's an awesome command, definitely saving that thanks

[robust crow]

BLMs because they hate moving and DRG because their jumps animation lock them

[arctic gust]

thats just goons for the bad rep 😛

[agile laurel]

Well dragoons it's because of animation lock, blm it's 'oh I can just get this one more fire IV before moving to safety'

[arctic gust]

we understand BLMs to love their ley lines 🤣

[twilit arch]

that said though blms have plenty of tools to deal with movement

and drg animation locks aren't as bad as they once were

[robust crow]

yeah, only bad black mages get made fun of

[raw moss]

how do you move the aetherflow gauge? i just unlocked it and its blocking part of my quests... its not letting me grab onto it and move it

[twilit arch]

but they can still get you into trouble

[leaden ginkgo]

yeah I figured BLMs wouldn't be the coolest kids on the block, but I like explosions and big numbers. I can already see that knowing when to get the hell out of a spot is part of your strategy

[twilit arch]

in the hud layout, there's an option for the aetherflow gauge

[agile laurel]

Also in regard to BLM syntax, F1-4 = Fire 1-4, B for blizzard T for thunder

[robust crow]

if you like big boom then there's no better class than blm

[solemn delta]

Haha and I was complaining last night about threat meter. Must have been tired or something cause today I've been 2nd for everything lol

[agile laurel]

And stuff like F3P for fire III proc

[arctic gust]

@raw moss HUD layout

[raw moss]

ah ty

[leaden ginkgo]

thanks, screenshotting that tip @agile laurel

[agile laurel]

there's a reason every BLM meme in existence involves Megumin from konosuba in some way

[wheat hazel]

Do those rotations exist for all the jobs in here?

[leaden ginkgo]

exsusplooosion

[agile laurel]

yup

[robust crow]

not all jobs use a rotation

[solemn delta]

Some are far more complicated

[robust crow]

bard, for example, follows a priority list because they heavily rely on procs

[wheat hazel]

Ohh interesting

[agile laurel]

yeah brd and dnc both follow a prio list

[solemn delta]

Blm and DRG are very simple for example. Even SAM to a degree

[agile laurel]

Sam is simple if you know what you're doing

[solemn delta]

Just gotta manage kenki

[robust crow]

yeah, DRG wants to follow its rotation with 0 deviation

[agile laurel]

If you don't, and you try to learn, bruh

[robust crow]

in a target-dummy fight a DRG is literally going to do the same 20ish button sequence over and over again

[solemn delta]

But the kenki gauge can be a bit annoying at first

[leaden ginkgo]

I'll probably level either white mage/another healing class (scholar looks cool but I hear it's a hard class) or bard next. Ranged seems really fun to me so far. This is my first time playing a game with cooldowns/hotkeys so it's pretty interesting so far. Might need to give log horizon a rewatch

[arctic gust]

MNK is most challenging imo

[solemn delta]

I was letting it fill up constantly lol

Yeah I read the MNK guide fml

[robust crow]

i heavily suggest not leveling white mage through story

[agile laurel]

Scholar requires a bit more proactive thinking than the others

[solemn delta]

Never playing MNK ever

[robust crow]

white mage has exactly 2 damage skills

all the way until 45

at which they learn their AoE

[leaden ginkgo]

yeah sounds pretty ass for story content

[agile laurel]

And bear in mind if you level Summoner/Scholar, you will be leveling the other while you do

[robust crow]

then they have 3 damage skills (and assize) for the rest of the game

[agile laurel]

Because they get attributed the same xp

[robust crow]

well, blood lily at like 74

[leaden ginkgo]

Maybe I'll do a tank for the queue times, we'll see

[robust crow]

healers get faster queues than tanks

but tanks are also pretty quick

DPS get shafted on queues

[arctic gust]

healer/tank que times are about the same, often healer gets it faster too now

[leaden ginkgo]

because there's like twice as many of them lol

any good healer classes for the MSQs then?

[twilit arch]

they're all fine

[arctic gust]

SCH

[twilit arch]

msq is designed to be done by all jobs

[arctic gust]

but im biased to SCH

[robust crow]

summoner/scholar would be the most "fun" I would think

since you have summoner to do damage

[solemn delta]

My bro had a look at the MNK openers and went "fuck that Luke I'm just playing the way I want to play lol"

[leaden ginkgo]

and you can level them at the same time as Emu said?

[robust crow]

i'm not sure how AST fares, but WHM story is "spam 1 skill forever until the enemy dies"

[agile laurel]

Yeah, since you can, for example, level summoner from 30-36, find a dungeon queue, oop lemme just switch over to level 36 scholar

[solemn delta]

They just level simultaneously

[agile laurel]

Because both Summoner and Scholar have Arcanist as a base class

[twilit arch]

smn/sch are the only ones that level at the same time because they have the same base class, arcanist

[arctic oriole]

hey guys im a little bit confused about those jobs like miner, where can i see if i got the tool or not?

[lament wagon]

but you'll have to do the job quests for the class you didn't level

[agile laurel]

All exp gained is given to 'arcanist'

[leaden ginkgo]

ah yeah they have the same base class

[agile laurel]

So SMN/SCH have the same exp bar, basically

they're the only case of that

[leaden ginkgo]

pretty nice perk

[arctic gust]

MNK is technical to play. you gotta follow a strict rotation, while minding positionals and your placement (avoiding sht) think to weave chakra charges, etc,etc

[agile laurel]

plus SMN is stupidly fun imo

[robust crow]

in lategame SMN gets shafted really hard if they die

[agile laurel]

Oh for sure

[robust crow]

great if you don't die though

[solemn delta]

He plays it pretty well. Just doesn't wanna learn all the openers and other stuff.

[agile laurel]

in that respect BLM is one of the easiest classes to recover from a death

[robust crow]

plus you get to summon bahamut

as a pet

[agile laurel]

cause you kinda don't have a resource to manage, so if you die and get rezzed you can just restart the rotation

[arctic gust]

and pheonix

[agile laurel]

yeah but who cares about phoenix, akh morn my dudes

[solemn delta]

He's pretty confident he'll get through savage without learning every single thing about MNK

[lament wagon]

he will get through savage but his teams won't be very pleased

[agile laurel]

i leveled pgl for about 16 levels and decided nah chief, i can't figure how people say it requires less brain power than drg

[solemn delta]

Cause he could be doing better openers etc more dps overall?

[arctic gust]

nah MNK is probably the most technical job to play

[rancid vector]

looking for a guide to help me set up my dark knight bars

[agile laurel]

however the people i know who say that are mnk mains so there may be a slight bias

[solemn delta]

Rather than quote him "get 4 stacks of grease lightning and go HAM" lol

[agile laurel]

yikers

[echo tapir]

i think it's because monk is so ... unchanging as a rotation and it's not like priority system

that it just slips into your muscle memory kinda fast

because once you do something enough it really will be braindead. it just wasn't actually that in the beginning

dragoon felt like that for bf too and he quit cause it just got boring

[solemn delta]

Tbh be beats my SAM with the same gear and I play SAM with pretty good precision

[echo tapir]

also if you're a good monk you're gonna feel pretty braindead if the rest of your team is messing up and you're just over here doing your rotation endlessly, like a drone

night after night

like if that doesnt batter it into your senses, i dont know what would

[arctic gust]

@solemn delta if you talk about sustained DPS. yes MNK will always beat any SAM... MNK always had the best sustain DPS in game.. SAM is a burst DPS in comparison. you may out dps him on a longer timeframe.. but you need alot more time to setup your bursts.. while MNK is just a constant flow

[solemn delta]

I see

[unreal aspen]

at lvl 70 on all crafters/gatherers whats my best bet for making gil?

except for fishing

[lament wagon]

check the market boards see what sells

you can always just farm a shitton of ore and sell those

[forest laurel]

does the squadron battle manual stack with food and fc xp buff?

[twilit arch]

it doesn't stack with fc

because its essentially a rank 3 free company buff

[leaden ginkgo]

This endgame BLM rotation guide is slightly different from the one from the bot since it adds spells like Enochian, Swiftcast, and Leylines. Does the bot command rotation list just include the main DPS stuff and you can choose where to work in those other spells? https://www.gameskinny.com/djsyv/definitive-final-fantasy-xiv-blm-rotations-for-level-80

[forest laurel]

ah ok

so no real point in grinding out those manuals

[twilit arch]

spells like that you're usually using them on cd

though enochain you're using once and then maintaining the buff by switching between your stances

[leaden ginkgo]

so you just need to have enochian up for the 30 seconds so you can get the polygot by the end of your rotation? (this is way beyond my level but I like to look ahead for games lol)

[solemn delta]

I was reading about BLM purposely dropping enochian but it didn't explain why, purposely dropping then reapplying but I thought that's either crap or level 80

[raw solstice]

There's some incorrect/misleading stuff in that link you posted, by the way

You don't purposely drop Eno, no

[leaden ginkgo]

good to know thanks, just a link I found through google yesterday

[warped nest]

If it is written before July 2019, ignore it

[raw solstice]

And yeah you just look to always keep eno up, and then every 30s you'll have a poly stack for Foul (later, xeno)

[warped nest]

Heck... Even stuff written in late 2019 might be obsolete by now

[mystic yew]

due to a skill you get at level 76(?), you should never ever drop enochian in combat

[raw solstice]

No, it's not just out of date

[warped nest]

Nah

[raw solstice]

It's just flat out wrong on some things

[warped nest]

You just need transpose to maint enochian

[sleek roost]

!faq blmguide

[zinc orbit]

5.X BLM Guide

Info

click here

[leaden ginkgo]

thanks I'll look at the guide

[warped nest]

Your lvl 76 Umbral Soul skill make it easy to restart with Umbral Ice III

[leaden ginkgo]

I guess transpose would be an easy way to keep eno up

[raw solstice]

Umbral soul (and transpose) are only a means to keep eno up during downtime, at higher levels

[leaden ginkgo]

makes sense

[warped nest]

And it is a better tool than transpose

[raw solstice]

When you can activity hit something you use neither

[warped nest]

What Rika said

[leaden ginkgo]

I assume all of this is touched on in the guide, I'll save it for later and when I get to the requistite levels I'll reference it to make sure i'm using spells like enochian right

[warped nest]

So at high level, hit stuff hit stuff, now you (lower than 76) keep using transpose or (higher or equal to 76) get to Umbral Ice with transpose if you aren't in UI already then press Umbral Soul to maintain it

[agile laurel]

enochian is something you set at the start of the fight then aim to drop never

you basically lose enochian if you time out an astral fire/umbral ice

which you shouldn't if you didn't need to move or die

[raw solstice]

Yeah, it should be pretty covered in the guide. If there's anything you're unsure of, feel free to ask

[leaden ginkgo]

nice and straightforward!

thanks @raw solstice

[agile laurel]

leylines increases your spell speed (and damage?)

[fresh lodge]

Just cast time and recast time

[raw solstice]

It doesn't increase your spellspeed

[agile laurel]

and swiftcast is a role action that makes your next thing instacast

[raw solstice]

Cast, recast, and auto attack delay

[agile laurel]

helps for spamming flare

Right, forgot

i confuse the passive effects of enochian and leylines a lot lmao

[warped nest]

!action leyline

[zinc orbit]

**Ley Lines** : lvl 52 BLM (90.0 second cooldown)

Connects naturally occurring ley lines to create a circle of power which, while standing within it, reduces spell cast time and recast time, and auto-attack delay by 15%.
Duration: 30s

Powered by XIVAPI

[leaden ginkgo]

so swiftcast can be used when you want to spam spells near the end of your rotation?

[agile laurel]

yup

[leaden ginkgo]

noice

[raw solstice]

Well, that's not quite the right way to word it I guess?

[agile laurel]

or if you direly need to phase switch and you've screwed up and not left yourself long enough, for blm specifically

ah that was what I meant

[raw solstice]

You should aim to use swift as a means to make spells that are longer than GCD faster. So it has value on things like Flare, F4/B4, Despair

[mystic yew]

i actually had some questions about gcd clipping on whm: there's so little skills with instant cast time, how do you keep using your cd's all the time?

[raw solstice]

Ideally with swift weaved after an instant or fast F3/B3 instead of clipped

[leaden ginkgo]

I'm like the spongebob WRITE THAT DOWN meme rn with all these great tips, thanks

[raw solstice]

Secondarily you also can use it to just get a cast out when you're moving

[fresh lodge]

Your lily skills and Dia are all instant cast, so you can weave it there

[agile laurel]

step on your right foot, don't forget it

[fresh lodge]

Also all the Cures are shorter than the GCD

[mystic yew]

ew who uses cures in this economy

[fresh lodge]

Cure 3 is very good in specific situations

Plus you're probably be using Cure 2 during prog when you haven't got the fight mapped out

[solemn delta]

Damn I love sycrus Tower cause its so fast for roulette but being stuck with F1 again 😂

[vestal jay]

so i got cloud costume reward thingy and wondering... why does this count as armor?..

does this game have something like...uh transmog?

[mystic yew]

it's just so dumb when i've reaplied dia 10 seconds ago and one assize will be enough, but i hate having to clip it in between glare casts

[gritty oracle]

It does

[twilit arch]

[zinc orbit]

Glamour FAQ

Info

'What is Glamour and how do I unlock it?'

Glamour is the process of changing an equipment's look into a different item with the use of Glamour Prisms. You can unlock the ability to glamour by doing the level 15 quests 'If I Had a Glamour' in Vesper Bay, West Thanalan. Although not required, you can unlock the ability to dye gear with the nearby quest 'Color Your World'. You can get the Orange Juice needed by talking to the nearby Merchant & Mender. Items used for glamouring are not lost upon use.

'How do I glamour? Where do I get more Prisms?'

Glamouring is done by right-clicking (Square or X on controllers) on the equipment you want to glamour and choosing the option 'Cast Glamour'. After clicking this you choose the item you want the appearance on the right half of the menu that opened up. You can get more Glamour Prisms by either crafting them after completing the quest 'Absolutely Glamourous', buying them from your Grand Company Quartermaster, or buying them from the marketboard.

[solemn delta]

Glamour yes

Can anyone confirm if you get a spell for your 70 blm quest? I'm on the 68 one but in a rush to get the roulettes done lol

Seen foul on actions.

[fresh lodge]

You get Foul

[solemn delta]

But wasn't sure if it was tied to the 70 quest

[agile laurel]

it's foul, yes

[solemn delta]

Uff better get it done

[fresh lodge]

All the level 70 quests have a spell tied to it

[agile laurel]

and enhanced eno

[solemn delta]

Msq will take 20+ minutes anyway

To get into

Thanks

Totally off topic but I can't wait until the day we can just fly out of Drybone instead of going up that stupid ramp and turning round. Roll on next patch lol

[vestal jay]

so like im level 15 but that quest seems a ways off

i don't think im near vesper bay

[simple nymph]

question, is there a way to make it so that the tooltips/descriptions on everything don't come up immediately every time i hover something? it's really annoying to not see some of my skills while i'm using them or items

it would be much nicer if i could make it delay or just not show up at all

[twilit arch]

you can disable tooltips in the character config menu

should be in the hud section iirc

[solemn delta]

Do you think they will ever upgrade the exp from regular alliance raid roulette?

It's abysmal

[bold carbon]

Should i start leveling doh or dol ?

[gritty oracle]

Dol. DoH requires materials gathered by dol.

[bold carbon]

Ok thank u

[agile laurel]

So I'm cool with enhanced manafication meaning you use manafication on CD and go straight into melee combo, but now it doesn't line up with embolden, where does embolden go?

[fresh lodge]

Probably not

Alliance gives other rewards which is why its useful

[gritty oracle]

Also, are there accessories, hats and belts with gathering on them? I'm really having trouble with getting my gathering retainer (level 61) geared for botany missions. (I'm also having trouble getting Gathering me geared but that's neither here nor there.)

[agile laurel]

Or should I try to delay manafication

You have to finish the ones from yesterday

These are from yesterday

I picked them up just before reset

Is it maybe cause they are synced to 80?

And im 71 and would get flattened

[raw solstice]

You can only do them on the job you picked them up on

[leaden ginkgo]

I heard those filler quests between ARR and the first expansion are getting streamlined soon? Or just ARR in general?

also roughly 100-200 hours to get to shadowbringers I suppose?

if you do your msqs and guild quests

[fresh lodge]

ARR in general is getting streamlined in a couple of months

[leaden ginkgo]

oof, I guess I'll pace myself

[solemn delta]

@raw solstice I'm doing one right now I picked up on SAM

but the other two are red. Weird

Never mind got to quest and it said change job /face-palm and kinda annoying lol

[brave loom]

Hi everyone! I've got an Expeditioner's Tabard (only F), I thought I could exchange at the calamity salvager but it doesn't seems so... What should I do? Discard it? lol

[gritty oracle]

Is M'zhet Tia's hairstyle obtainable? Garland Tools doesn't seem to be able to tell me.

@brave loom If you can't glamour it yourself, you could still yeet it to the glam dresser in case you want your retainer to glam it. If it's not untradable, you can also MB it.

[leaden ginkgo]

About palace of the dead. I started it on level 15 and went up to floor 10 with a party. It gave me around 35k’ish? Exp (a level and a bit more). Untill which level do I stay here? Also do I get more levels by doing the entire palace or just floors 1-10 on repeat? Because it’s really hard to get a random party to stay for more floors unless it’s a premade party

And I guess 1 level every 5 minutes or so isn’t bad but I don’t think the exp scales with levels

[agile laurel]

the best efficiency of PotD is 51-60 @leaden ginkgo

[leaden ginkgo]

Oh so it scales with floors

How long does post ARR content take without skipping story and sprinting between objectives?

[proper sonnet]

As long as you want it to, there's so much additional lv50 content available at that point

[wintry chasm]

Yeah

You're going to end up doing some optional stuff

I'm not entirely sure if any estimate is that reasonable

[proper sonnet]

And you're going to want to do msq in short bursts, because doing it all at once can get monotonous

[wintry chasm]

If I had to guess raw run time of the main story if you just did that 6 hours but that still greatly matters on just how fast you are

but yeah I would take your time with it

If you're in a bit of a slow section go do things like the 24-man raid and stuff

It's good stuff

[leaden ginkgo]

Can I ask about Savage raid here?

[raw solstice]

sure that's fine, here or #endgame-lounge would be appropriate. Latter if it's going to be a bit longer of a thing, but it's not a big deal

[leaden ginkgo]

Okie thank you ^^ I will go ask there instead

base game gives 30days gametime but shadowbringer doesnt right

correct

@mild ermine you can tab through them. You can also just generally navigate through the menus with just pressing tab and numbers. But most people just use it as a sort of auto-complete

its damn impossible to navigate the sea of clouds on foot

[leaden ginkgo]

Well

First you get all 10 aether currents

Second you get all 5 quest currents

[stable hinge]

[leaden ginkgo]

If you have just started HW you wont be able to unlock flying in sea of clouds for

[stable hinge]

I have no Idea what either of those things are

[leaden ginkgo]

6? Levelsn

Continue the msq

[stable hinge]

im lv58

[leaden ginkgo]

[mossy current]

Continue in story and you'll get an aether compass iirc

[leaden ginkgo]

[stable hinge]

Ty

[mossy current]

Use that to find currents

[leaden ginkgo]

I meant level 56 msq

[mild ermine]

@raw solstice Thanks

[leaden ginkgo]

Not when you're 56

[stable hinge]

my next class quest is somewhere in ishgard I have no idea how to get there or where it is

[mossy current]

Any in the area of HW are important as well

[stable hinge]

Ty

[leaden ginkgo]

Yeah should probably do msq

[deft anvil]

Do multiple instances of the same healer DR Bubble stack? Like 2 SCH sacred grounds? And do different DR bubbles stack, like 1 AST CU and 1 Sacred Ground?

[arctic gust]

flight in HW i think you got the first entry is a Lv 52 or 54 sidequest in western coerthas

[leaden ginkgo]

2 sacred grounds do not stack

1 CU and 1 sacred ground

I believe

These two stack because

CU gives you a buff

For the secondary

Though I could easily be wrong

[deft anvil]

Cool, thank you.

[rough lance]

do i need to grind lvl if i start msq at lvl 70 for shadowbringers to lvl 80?

[forest laurel]

you might need to

I had to do roulettes and dungeons a few times just to continue my MSQ

[rough lance]

oh

ok thanks

[leaden ginkgo]

hey guys

Hello

is there something l like a smokebomb you can throw and it smoke?

idk how to google

thx mate

[solemn delta]

I'm doing the 70 BLM quest and at one part it says "Speak to Vidofnir" I'm right on the marker and there's nobody here...

It's inside beside the aetheryte the marker

But there's nothing apart from a random npc

Yeah, it's upstairs

[next wind]

new tank here, how do you guys figure out how many mobs to pull? I want to pull as many as possible and occasionally end up dying

[arctic gust]

the way i pull in dungeon as a tank main is i stop every groups, if it goes too well, i start grabbing 2nd otherwise i wait til only 1 mob is left and "chain pull" instead of doing massive pulls

[next wind]

okay that's a good strategy

I hate to be slow and it's way more fun to pull, but wiping out is not fun xD

probably also makes the healer hate me xD

[junior yacht]

no, chain pulling is a terrible straegy

don't do that

[arctic gust]

personally, im old school EQ player, im more used and comfy with chain pulls than wall to wall

[junior yacht]

that's how you burn off everyone's MP

[arctic gust]

nah not necessarily

[next wind]

so how would you approach?

[junior yacht]

and then you die because they didn't have a chance to recover

i just ask the healer if they're ok with big pulls

[arctic gust]

then they mis-manage their MP and Lucid uses

[junior yacht]

no

[next wind]

okay that's true, speaking with the healer is a good idea

I noticed it really depends if they're paying attention or not

so what's wall to wall strategy? like taking 1 group at the time?

[junior yacht]

"wall to wall" means pulling everything you can

[next wind]

oh okay

[junior yacht]

you go until you hit a wall

[next wind]

haha okay that makes sense

[junior yacht]

it's a lot less than it sounds like

[next wind]

but I do end up dying ocassionally cuz I can't tank as much

I'm still low level, below 50

[junior yacht]

in most later dungeons there are doors that only open affter all the mobs are dead

and there's only about two or three groups of mobs in between

[next wind]

I think I need at least ironworks before this will be efficient

[leaden ginkgo]

Is it possible to change facial hair in the game without using a fantasia to change your entire character?

[next wind]

yes

it's lv15 quest I think

[arctic gust]

Lv 15 sidequest in Limsa, unlocks the aethetician bell in your inn room

[leaden ginkgo]

Cool, thank you!

[agile laurel]

Is the delay on Rescue client-side or based on latency?

Cause if I need to rescue someone with like, a second's notice it doesn't seem to ever go off in time

[open coral]

It’s server side delay

[mild ermine]

Go to materia for Summoner?

[faint flare]

Crit dh det

[mild ermine]

ty

Wait

Really? I've used those same stats on other things lol

[faint flare]

Yes

[open coral]

All dps have basically the same materia recommendations

Although a few benefit also from skill or spell speed if you’re going for Savage raiding BiS

[silver vessel]

How long does it take to get a basic relic to Nexus?

[solemn delta]

Is the blm shb quest important ie tied to any spells like despair

Or just story

[meager tendon]

jk found it

[raw solstice]

job quests in general are replaced by role quests in shb, which are required to progress through MSQ and also give you some gear when you finish a line

[oak ice]

You have to complete the role quest to complete ShB

[solemn delta]

Yeah that's fine 4th job

Just wanted to make sure I wasn't missing out any spells

Or traits just got enhanced enochian looks OP

Think that's the first trait I've seen from a quest?

[strange coral]

For ShB, your level 70+ actions and traits come from just leveling. None come from quests

[solemn delta]

It's likely because it ties directly into using Foul?

That's cool

Cause on SAM DRG PLD didn't get a single trait from a quest, im 90% sure

[gritty oracle]

If I have the bridesmoogle and the demon box and I get it again, can I actually do anything with it or should I toss?

[strong sphinx]

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AySyvEvpGGs&t=225s In this video it seems he has a different looking UI than from how mine looks, is there a setting for that? I couldnt find it

for example, the chat tabs

[strange coral]

Looks like the material UI mod maybe

[tame notch]

Hi, what is the emote where your character hit his fist with his palm during the msq cutscene?

I think is the one to show you are pump up for something

Important

[gritty oracle]

I would also like to know

[strange coral]

I vaguely remember hearing that animation isn't available as an emote. Some one was complaining about it a few weeks ago

I might be wrong though

[arctic gust]

the emote may change depending on each race, i could be wrong but i think its the midlander's /psyche without a target

[raven sage]

It isn't an emote we can use, no

Also no midlander's psyche isn't even close to that

[arctic gust]

could also be an unique one made just for the CS

and idk im not hyur

[onyx kiln]

what purpose does Hissatsu: Seigan serve for SAM?

[mortal current]

It's an ability with higher potency per kenki than shinten.

[onyx kiln]

thanks for telling me that, mainly because i had no idea what Shinten was, which was explained by the fact that i didn't even have it in my hotbar

[vestal current]

In order to obtain certain action for a specific job you need to succesfully finish quests
For example this one: https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/playguide/db/quest/309e3e7e609/

But how on earth can you find out where this quests starts in game ?

[onyx kiln]

doesn't it say in the corner at the next quest window?

[leaden ginkgo]

^

[raven sage]

Your next job quest will always be right under your main scenario tracker

When it's available

[leaden ginkgo]

It is will say in the corner your next qyest when it's unlocked

[onyx kiln]

this one

[raven sage]

All you have to do is click it and the map will open for it

[vestal current]

@onyx kiln ooh thanks

I thought it only mentioned the main quest

[onyx kiln]

it will pop up a small icon under it once you reach the level for it

[fast sapphire]

Hey all 🙂 I am a new player from the UK just starting. I have downloaded and I'm making a character now. I want to play a healer (Bard then Astro at 50) and I've got plenty of free time at the moment so I was wondering if anyone wants to level together also I won't say no to any help. I've played WoW for years but I've heard such great things about ff14 Shadowbringers I really want to give it a good try. Hope your all doing alright at the moment in this epidemic

[mild ermine]

Is it weird to use POTD to learn the very basics of a class? For example, I've leveled up my summoner, which comes with scholar. But I don't know how to play it very I don't think so anyway. So I've been going to PoTD to start at level 1, and ease myself into the skills.

[faint flare]

Potd is terrible for learning new jobs

Cause shit doesn't live long

To do a proper form of rotation

Unless you're solo then maybe

Slightly better

[mild ermine]

Yeah solo. I just had a bunch of skills thrown at me so it was a bit overwhelming.

[faint flare]

Remove everything

Go to a dummy

And put stuff down one by one

@quiet crystal do they fetch high prices? More importantly how often do they sell

[quiet crystal]

Dunno about high prices but its part of the endgame crafting set

[native ingot]

Ok

Anything else?

[quiet crystal]

Dunno tbh. I think the moneymaking crafters are ALC/CUL

[native ingot]

Is selling shinryu weapons etc a good idea

[faint flare]

They can be

The market has no definitive answer as it changes regularly

[native ingot]

Okk

[quiet crystal]

Oh or HQ mats

Tier 1 mats

[little swift]

Hq dwarven is currently part of the bis crafters set

[quiet crystal]

Lazy ppl buy them all the time

[little swift]

Due to lack of other alternatived

[native ingot]

I tried selling some but underbidding is aggressive and often

[lament wagon]

alc mats are pretty expensive compared to others

[little swift]

Same with lignum vitae for gatherers

[faint flare]

The staples are current gear sets like HQ neo ishgardian and dwarven stuff but with alot of people making them the prices fluctuate

[quiet crystal]

Alc mats usually requires mob drop so

[lament wagon]

at least when I leveled crafters some of the glues were 10-20k

[quiet crystal]

Scale glue is expensive

[sturdy mason]

Is it just me or is music volume extremely low? I have BGM maxed in settings, and it's not a speaker issue AFAIK because everything else on my system plays at a much higher volume

[quiet crystal]

Because it needs like 3 different dragon scales

[little swift]

Check your system mixer volume

Is that low for the game?

[sturdy mason]

Oh... RIP

[quiet crystal]

Also punish the underbidders by crashing the market

Have people underbid that

[sturdy mason]

Thanks @little swift

[quiet crystal]

Buy all the cheap ones and resell

[native ingot]

Hahahaha

[quiet crystal]

It does have risks but when it works its satisfying

[native ingot]

But then I won't make gil

[quiet crystal]

You'll make gils in long term

[native ingot]

@quiet crystal I don't think you get that that requires gil

I guess it does need some amount

[native ingot]

I'm on 700k

Its an investment of time a resourced

Theres no easy quick way to makr money

Does the market rebound from crashes?

2 years later

I made 5 gil

[onyx kiln]

is Hagakure ever viable for SAM? for me it feels more logical to keep the Sen marks instead of gaining just 30 kenki at best

[native ingot]

I made 5 gil

[fresh lodge]

You use it when you want to clear your sen before a fight

[quiet crystal]

You could also learn leve quest requirements

And sell those

[solemn delta]

Questions for the BLMs (again lol). How on earth do you manage to keep up a solid rotation on a boss like.... Damn I forget name but it's the big white winged one in the 71 Dungeon Holminster Switch. Constantly puts AoE all over the ground with one safe spot and a blue line it charges after?

[quiet crystal]

People buy things for leve all the time

[solemn delta]

I could barely get off a rotation because of that

[fresh lodge]

Are you using triple cast?

[solemn delta]

On and off not straight off CD every time

[quiet crystal]

don't move and have healer adjust

[solemn delta]

That ground aoe will one shot me haha

I think that fight is just a bastard for casters no?

The other 2 were fine.

[lilac thicket]

How do I turn off Target HP bar, but only keep target name displayed?

I've been fiddeling with settings for 10 minutes now and I can't seem to find it

[solemn delta]

Also it doesn't mention foul in the AoE rotation I'm guessing it's just common sense to use it whenever its up on aoe?

Or is it a dps loss over flare spam?

No it's way stronger

But it's not mentioned in the AoE

[fresh lodge]

Because it doesn't have a set spot in the rotation, just use it when you have it

[leaden ginkgo]

Can I turn off the messages in the general chat box that say "gained so-and-so exp"?

I feel like that's not really necessary info and it really clutters the chat box

[arctic gust]

click the gear icon on your chatbox, it allows in depths customization

[solemn delta]

60-71 "Foul whenever"but I guess we gotta thank these guys that write these guides and use common sense. Not nitpick they missed a tiny comment that's obvious

[leaden ginkgo]

Yeah, but which one do I need to disable for the exp messages to go away?

I still want the other system messages

[arctic gust]

you have an option the check/uncheck all the msg display, one should say player - exp gain, etc..

just customize what you want to be displayed in a set channel

you can create a new channel and decide to display only chats

like party, say, fc, linkshells

[leaden ginkgo]

None of them say player exp gain

But one says player progression

So that might be it

I tried disabling it

[arctic gust]

maybe

[leaden ginkgo]

Thanks : )

[arctic gust]

im not ingame atm so i cant verify 😛

[solemn delta]

Yeah I could only find player progression with a level up on it

ok so since I'm done with the MSQ up until shadowbringers (haven't started SB yet), I wanted to level a Dark knight to 70 before going forward. Since I can't redo the MSQ, how will I get enough xp to level up from 30 to 70? just grind?

Then highest level dungeon spam but not the 50/60/70 dungeons

47/59/69 are your best bet for exp

like 59 instead of 60s

cause 50/60/70 were tome farming dungeons and so dont give much exp

compared to leveling dungeons

can treasure hunting be done with people all over the database who are only on one server? or do the members of the party specifically have to be from your server?

Why is it that sometimes when I switch to BTN I'm at full GP but other times I start off at 100?

you used up all your GP as BTN then switched back before it refilled?

[thick bolt]

no

I was doing trials and leveling haven't been on BTN all day

[sage plaza]

keep track of the time it happens

I don't think GP regenerates when you're in trials/dungeons, so might also be a factor

[lilac flume]

whats something easy i can sell for the doman restoration? i dont have any allagan coffers

[humble maple]

so i just found out that you can do extreme trials etc as undersized parties and still get the rewards. Does that apply for mounts etc as well?

[raven sage]

Yes

That's typically how people farm old mounts

[humble maple]

okay :D thanks for confirming

@lilac flume you can sell allagam silver pieces earned from 18 hour retainer ventures

If you have poetics lying around demicrystals are ok too

Thats what the allagan silver pieces are

can you buy the pieces?

so I’m doing hunting for centruio seals, how do I see the list of the mobs that I need to hunt

[next wind]

you need to join a discord

for hunt trains

and follow their updates, it's not as simple as hunt from your GC

[little swift]

The daily ones have a small icon over their head indicating they're your target

B ranks have the passive icon and are usually somewhere on the map

You get a text message when you are heading in the right direction towards them

A and S ranks harder to spot

Those are the train ones

When the regen can't tick fast enough to heal up

Also if you have free time and can afford to conserve mana like when boss goes untargetable and you just wanna top people up.

Hello I'd like to have a private word with a mentor or an old player about personnal game related stuff, can I ask someone to dm me for that please ? edit : i'll delete as soon as I get someone to hear me out

[arctic oriole]

guys how can i lvl up my gathering class for the carpenter?

[faint flare]

Leves primarily

Do your daily grand company.turn ins as well for big xp

[sturdy mason]

I'm 48 and don't want to grind Aurum Vale to 50. I also am not up to a reasonable floor in potd so that one is out. As an astrologian, would it be reasonable to do fates to get exp to 50?

If Aurum is the best option I may suck it up

[next wind]

44 lv dung? I had 45min aurum vale 2h ago

cuz my healer had no idea what he was doing

gotta be careful

it can really suck your life out if people are not familiar xD

[sturdy mason]

Yeah that's why I want to avoid it

[next wind]

often you need to explain all the mechanics and learn by dying..

[ripe oriole]

Can blue mage do duties?

[faint flare]

Yes but not traditionallu

[ripe oriole]

What's that mean?

[arctic gust]

not roulettes

[faint flare]

You need to make your own party to go in

[arctic gust]

only pre-formed parties

[faint flare]

You cant que for stuff

[ripe oriole]

Full party only?

[slate arrow]

Only undersized and premades

[faint flare]

A full premade

[arctic gust]

4 for dungeon, 8 for trials

[faint flare]

Or unsized yea

[ripe oriole]

Dang okay

What other classes are like that?

[faint flare]

None

Only blue

[ripe oriole]

Wow lame

[slate arrow]

Only blue

[arctic gust]

only blu so far

[faint flare]

Because its a limited job

[arctic gust]

more "limited jobs" maybe later

[ripe oriole]

Ty for the answers all

[leaden ginkgo]

[ripe oriole]

Hey so I’m having a lot of crashing issues when running the game in DX11 i hear it’s a common issue can anyone help

[arctic gust]

might get better answer for that in #technology-discussion

[quiet crystal]

for jumbo cactpots

do you get consolation prize per ticket?

[little swift]

Yes

Depending on your chosen numbers

It also reads from right to left to check your numbers

[quiet crystal]

ah

is triple triad easy to learn?

because I should unlock it just for cards

[solemn delta]

Quick question about fates as conjurer/whm. If there's multiple others and I'm struggling to even get a stone off can I just spam heal on myself at full hp to get gold?

Was one I did I couldn't even get one cast off only aeros

[little swift]

Triple triad can be confusing

[quiet crystal]

spam medica I think

[little swift]

But its fun once you get it

[quiet crystal]

healing gets you enmity

[little swift]

Enmity gain is important for fates

Healing is one way to go aboutit

[solemn delta]

Yeah. I won't be bothering with them once I'm 15 but that was just so annoying couldn't get a stone off lol

have you been doing your hunting logs?

[indigo orbit]

I usually do leves to bridge the 10-15 gap before you can do dungeons

[onyx kiln]

is there away to see timestamp when some chat messages where sent?

[solemn delta]

Yeah I'm 14 almost there

[raven sage]

Turn them on in the chat settings

You have to do it for each tab you have though

[onyx kiln]

okay, thanks

[prisma flume]

Can someone help me out here. I’m looking in party finder and says I have a locked duty but I swear I have everything unlocked. Idk

[raven sage]

Have you unlocked any ultimates?

That's usually what's left

[prisma flume]

Ohh I don’t think I have any ultimates

Maybe that’s it then

[sick zenith]

Where do i go to start lords of verminion

And how often do gates happen

[raven sage]

Every 20 minutes

[little swift]

Gates ar e every 20 min

[raven sage]

And you have to take the ferry from that main blue room

[little swift]

Go to 2md floor to unlock verminion

[raven sage]

To go upstairs

[sick zenith]

The lift?

[raven sage]

Yeah

[sick zenith]

Ty

[quiet crystal]

for Triple Triads, can I win against NPCs in battlehall even with starter pack?

[sturdy mason]

When I play this card I don't get the 3rd sun symbol thing. Why not?

[raven sage]

Are you in combat

[sturdy mason]

yea

well I should be

[indigo orbit]

You cast it before you were in combat

[raven sage]

The only reason you wouldn't get a seal is not being in combat

You have to have an aggro bar

[indigo orbit]

Usually I throw out a combust and then play the card

[raven sage]

Yeah depending on the fight it won't force you in combat if someone else initiates it

[indigo orbit]

For trash that's usually the case

[sturdy mason]

You know what, you guys are right, because I'm in POTD and it's easy to not be in combat

I hit the mob and now it works

TY!

[little swift]

for Triple Triads, can I win against NPCs in battlehall even with starter pack?
@quiet crystal winnable but harder

Getting better cards are you prioritu

[sick zenith]

Easiest way to get more cards? Ive just been trying to win them and buying some occasionally

[indigo orbit]

Do dungeons/raids

[little swift]

Dungeons/raids drip stuff

[sick zenith]

Really?

[little swift]

Yup

[sick zenith]

Is that past a certain level or..?

[raven sage]

Nope

[sick zenith]

I havent seen cards in any dungeons yet

[vagrant copper]

You don't get card drops until you unlock tt

[sick zenith]

I do have tt

[raven sage]

You can get cards as early as sastasha

So it's just bad rng for you

[vagrant copper]

Did you have it when you were running the dungeons?

[sick zenith]

Do they come as normal loot drops?

[vagrant copper]

No

[raven sage]

They just drop in your pockets

[sick zenith]

Hmm ok. Probably mix of bad rng and already having thw card

[left cedar]

I need some help. I was playing scholar, and you know how it has a hotbar specifically dedicated to the pet? (I'm on controller)
Well, I was switching between hotbars and I guess I must've pressed something because it disappeared

[raven sage]

The alliance raid ones are rolled on though

[left cedar]

And now it's not on any of the eight spots

[quiet crystal]

time to run unsynched dungeon

[sick zenith]

Is your summon out

[left cedar]

yes

[indigo orbit]

To be fair there's not much use for the pet bar these days outside of Heel and Place

[raven sage]

Press R1?

I think it's R1 anyway

[sick zenith]

You have to tap r1

Not hold it

[raven sage]

Yeah sorry I mean tap

[sick zenith]

From hotbar 1 tap r1

[glacial sluice]

Hey guys, noob question. What's player-owned-housing used for in this game? I guess I'm asking, what's the point of it?

[raven sage]

For fun mostly

[sick zenith]

Clout and end game gil sink

[raven sage]

It has no technical function so it's purely optional

[sick zenith]

Apartments are available after arr and much cheaper

[left cedar]

Oh.. That explains it.

Thanks!

[arctic gust]

its also often a quick & cheap teleport to a market board, retainer bell, aesthetician, etc..

[sick zenith]

Yw

[vagrant copper]

You can garden with a house which might be a good way to make gil...?

[arctic gust]

also some items can only be obtained through gardening and you need a house (or your FC) for that

[next wind]

but you can get all those benefits Shey said through FC

[left cedar]

One more question. My Carbuncle's Assault 1 skill is really weak. It does like 2 or 3 damage, whereas my ruin does 35-ish. Is that normal..?

[next wind]

if you find a good FC

[onyx kiln]

if i wear the Stridder boots and glam over them, do keep the extra sprint time added?

[raven sage]

If you're a lower level then yes

[glacial sluice]

Gotcha, thanks guys!

[raven sage]

You'll get stronger as you level up

[left cedar]

I'm level 10

[arctic gust]

house are rather expensives, but a room in your FC house is 300k and appartment is 500k

[left cedar]

So it's basically not worth using yet then

[vagrant copper]

@onyx kiln Glams are purely visual. They don't change mechanics.

[raven sage]

No you should use them

It's better to get used to it now

[boreal aurora]

can you activate shadowbringers if u have trial account or you need to have base game first ?

[raven sage]

Need the base game

[boreal aurora]

kk

[arctic gust]

base game before any expac

[quiet crystal]

for TT card drop, it's one card per dungeon right

not multiple

[vagrant copper]

AFAIK, yes. Can't think of any duties that have multiple cards

[meager tendon]

I'm 77 with 76gear at the end of stormblood with full poetics. Is there anything worth buying, or should I just keep em until the end of SHB?

[arctic gust]

some duties like 24-man raids drop many

[raven sage]

You don't need poetics for 80 classes

[arctic gust]

yes you do 😛

[quiet crystal]

extra relic weapon is 1000 poetics right

[next wind]

http://redd.it/ccyuod

[raven sage]

Oh shoot you're right

[arctic gust]

1000k poetic to buy the new Lv 80 relic weapon

[next wind]

spend it if you're maxed out

[quiet crystal]

1000k O.O

[raven sage]

I keep forgetting that step is so ludicrously easy

[arctic gust]

1k +

xD

[raven sage]

Yeah

If you're not going to level anything else right away you can hold them for that

[next wind]

so you can get more than one? 😮

for just 1k+ poetics?

[arctic gust]

distracted and thinking to type 1000 or 1k xD

[raven sage]

no

One weapon is 1k

[quiet crystal]

different class relic

[arctic gust]

1k poetics each

[next wind]

oh okay but diff job can get 1 new relic right?

[raven sage]

Yep

[arctic gust]

yup

[onyx kiln]

who moves faster, a Ninja with its fleet of foot trait or a Ranged DPS with Peloton active?

[faint flare]

Peleton

[little swift]

on that note

sprint is faster

and sprint overrides peloton

[onyx kiln]

it does?

[little swift]

combining them does nothing

[faint flare]

https://youtu.be/-cKDs20USxk

[fresh lodge]

Yes

[little swift]

it just feels like it

[fresh lodge]

Speed buffs don't stack

[faint flare]

See vid

Or the thumbnail

[onyx kiln]

so Fleet of foot + sprint is better than peloton

[little swift]

no its the same as sprint normally

[tough patio]
