well so far I haven't found a use for shirk yet xD
faint flare
Shirk is for Tank swapping
young fjord
Shirk is pretty much mandatory at higher levels
nova umbra
like level 80 stuff?
young fjord
You can play without it, but it's so much cleaner with it
faint flare
Tank swaps primarily show up in higher end content like extreme and savages
whole wasp
Pretty much most 8 man content has one.
sick zenith
So i use interject the same way as low blow?
faint flare
They do appear in normal modes but the vuln is generally not enough to warrant it
Bo
No
whole wasp
Since its the only tank mechanic you cant just eat the vuln stack and lol.
faint flare
Interject is only usable on cast bars with flashing cast bars
And cannot be resisted
sick zenith
I dont think ive seen that yet
faint flare
Whereas stun cab
You'll see it in magic casts primarily
Like on sprites or Chimeras
Their Voice skills can typically be interjected
faint flare
Cadt bar looks like that
Better quality
It pulsates and glows when it can be interjected
wintry chasm
The first time I can really think it shows up really obviously is the Tam Tara dungeon final boss
Where it's skill it spams, aqua, is interruptible

Yeah mind blast

Is there a way to get a carbuncle mount/pet without real $$?

and if the cast bar doesnt glow, throw a Low Blow/Leg Sweep. often it can be stunned (almost everything even bosses can be stunned ARR pre-50)

Ok this is helping me put together my crossbar in a way that makes sense
Aoe combo on one cross, single target combo on another, buffs on the d pads and interrupts on the right wxhb

1st hotbar stuff I use a lot and single target
2nd hotbar aoe and stuff I don't use as much
3rd hotbar tank stance or LB

Pretty much what i do
I have single target stuff on R2, aoe on L2...defensives on double tap R2/L2 and dps off globals and magic phase on r2+l2

hi all, Questions from someone looking to try this game.
I used to be a super hardcore PvE raider in WoW, but now i got wife and 2 kids so can't dedicate hours everyday to raid with 40 people.
I heard great things about FF14 and wonder if i can play this super casually and still get anywhere?
maybe i can only play several hours per week now.
also back in WoW, i always play tank because queueing as DPS takes 30-60 minutes and i just can't wait for that. is it the same here too? what's the fastest queue classes?
thinking of playing a healer, is it ok to do leveling as healer or should i level as dps/tank?
weary rapids
hey 🙂 do the fetch quests go away before the 1st expansion?
wintry chasm
Queuing as a DPS doesn't take nearly that long but it can take like, 20 give or take
open coral
This game is one that respects your time
wintry chasm
Tanks and healers have pretty much instant queue times for content
faint flare
You can be as casual as you want and do everything
Tanks have pretty quick ques, instant to a few minss
Healers level perfectly fine as healers do good damage
open coral
Doing casual “LFR” content at max level will allow you to obtain gear that is only a step behind the best raid gear
pale tartan
are healers instant queue as well?

does item quality while crafting mean anything other than determining if u can use certain skills?

ok cool. i might try leveling and see how it goes.
unreal aspen
like when it says good/excellent/poor etc
faint flare
Yes
forest laurel
yeah
they determine how much quality you're gonna get for the next touch action you use
faint flare
Using touch skills give more quality
Good is 1.5x, excellent is 2x
..poor is 0.5x

Use a skill to go.over the turn, like a buff or something

WAR and DRK are close to or tied below PLD and GNB
PLD gets uptime meme because of holy spirit and gunbreaker is gunbreaker

WAR kinda bridges between GNB and DRK, tbh

Paladin is stronger than warrior?

PLD/GNB battles the top, then WAR > DRK

its not worth it at low levels, but they're free, you should always extract as soon as you get 100% and sell or save for later (sidequest later allows to fuse materias to try to get a higher tier)

Messing with UI does "Focus target bar" count as the boss cast timers etc?
slate arrow
focus target is not your target
faint flare
The focus target does show casts
little swift
Focus target bar is for the target you focus
slate arrow
but it does show up to 5 status effects and cast bars
little swift
It leaves their hp bar up
Target action progress or something like that is the castbar specifically
solemn delta
Yeah I basically just want the bosses casts lower on my screen and bigger.
arctic gust
you have to manually set your focus target. i.e. a off tank can focus target MT and use macros to use mitigation tools on MT during tankbusters
faint flare
You can split the normal target bar
solemn delta
Cause i play on a 65" TV and miss a lot of casts cause of it
faint flare
To move the enemy cast bar

hello, I need some help with a quest shadows uncast (maelstrom), the problem is there is no quest at all, its not even red or something, I am lvl 55 and I am second storm lieutenant rank so I dont understand why I cant get this quest
obsidian patio
Can you promote yourself further using the personnel officer?
open coral
Is the Maelstrom your grand company?
drifting bane
yes maelstrom
quiet crystal
Grind up your squadron to level 40
drifting bane
okay
drifting bane
ok then, thx for help
austere vale
Interesting how botanist guild does not have tools to purchase there :/
quiet crystal
They sell in market
next wind
to unlock storm captain mission, what do we need to do? command missions or regular squadron missions? and how many?
austere vale
So if I am trying to purchase a weathered hatchet off the market, why does it say I can't currently equip?
quiet crystal
What class are you buying it as
austere vale
white mage
quiet crystal
Thats why
obsidian patio
Did you complete the first quest for botanist to actually unlock the class?
quiet crystal
Because whm cant equip hatchet
open coral
Only BTN can equip a hatchet
obsidian patio
The “so you want to be a botanist” and the one after
austere vale
I think I completed quest. It says I have one skill in botany
quiet crystal
Do you not have a hatchet with you?
austere vale
no
open coral
That quest should have given you one
sturdy mason
The part of the HW Relic where you gotta do 3x leveling roulette: Can you do all 3 in one day?
open coral
Yes
austere vale
oh I found a tool supplier selling them for around 100g
open coral
Before you buy one, check your inventory
If your weapon armory is full, it would have gone there by default
austere vale
I don't have it on me. I may hold accidentally sold it months ago
ok so apparently i never did the my first hatchet quest. Says it locked since its a required class BTN. How do I switch to that class?
polar hound
Equip the hatchet
thorny jungle
If I start a new character as a dark knight would I have to do ARR content again?
quiet crystal
You cant
slate arrow
you can't start a new character as DRK
you must have an existing character at level 50 and completed ARR
then you do the job unlock quest and equip a greatsword
rough anchor
Can someone identify the gloves?
thorny jungle
Once I unlock that class can I make a new character as a DK or nah?
obsidian patio
Nope
slate arrow
you cannot make a new character as any expansion job
thorny jungle
Ahhhh okay
leaden ginkgo
Only way to unlock it is to level to 50 and do the quest, so may as well do that anyway even if that weren't the case :P
obsidian patio
The gloves look pretty plain to me, might be any of the dress gloves dyed black
thorny jungle
I have one at lvl 50 and Im doing the MSQ between 2.0 and 3.0
quiet crystal
You're almost there to the good part
thorny jungle
I wanna cry I’ve been doing these quest for 2 days and I’m only at 2.4
I just wanna play as a bunny girl that’s why lol
leaden ginkgo
They're streamlining it next uodate
quiet crystal
2.4 is where it starts to get good
leaden ginkgo
You should have a Fantasia as a quest reward already no?
thorny jungle
Yes
leaden ginkgo
That allows you to change without a new character
Unless you want both bunny and current :p
thorny jungle
Ah fuck sick
leaden ginkgo
Mind
The only way to get them at all easily is with real money
So be absolutely sure you want to use it
rough anchor
@obsidian patio i mean the one armored glove and one hand free
Or is that part of the armor
obsidian patio
Looks like it might be the chest piece
rough anchor
Hm
Yeah on second look it does look like the female neo-ish

I know Trust parties are slower but I'm a parent with a needy toddler; I like being able to AFK/drop a duty. If I'm a tank, which trust party will give the best DPS?

They’re all pretty close to each other

Hey, I bought a story skip. I was told I can go somewhere to get the MSQ mount and stuff. Where do I go?
arctic gust
as a tank in trust i prefer Alphinaud, Urianger stands in stuff all the time and if i dont have Alisea to rez him im screwed
best team for tank is Alphi, Alisea (ops times), Ryne (most constant dps)
tough wolf
Thanks Shey.
ruby willow
Anyone know?
arctic gust
try a Calamity Salvager or another recompense NPC (usually beside the Calamity guy)

pale tartan
hi all, which data center for California?
arctic gust
any US really
pale tartan
its all the same?
arctic gust
Aether, Primal, Crystal
pretty much
Crystal is the unofficial RP data center
Aether seems more endgame focused with raids and stuff
obsidian patio
Aether/primal are pretty equal in the endgame raiding scene
quiet crystal
I think people name Balmung and the one starting with M
arctic gust
Mateus?
quiet crystal
Yeah
pale tartan
interesting. thanks.
arctic gust
not sure, preferred sometimes can change fast 😛

I liked the early pre Shb version of Warrior from larryzaurs video

Do I have to go to foundation to get the Hevensward items?
Because calamity guy didnt have the mounts
Wait no

midnight slate
Nascent flash was 30 second duration with a 25 second cooldown
So I could’ve literally have it on forever
Now it’s only 6 seconds
faint flare
No it couldn't
midnight slate
?
obsidian patio
Nascent Flash never had a 30 second duration
midnight slate
It was in the pretest
obsidian patio
Unless you’re looking at the media tour
obsidian patio
Yeah SE probably realized a permanent Bloodbath was absurdly broken
arctic gust
no clues what you saying.. they keep taking it away from us.. first bloodbath, then inner beast and Steel Cyclone
❓
bronze sorrel
^
arctic gust
inner beast & Steel Cyclone had a HP drain on % of dmg for a time and they took it away too
faint flare
Cause its in nascent flash now
bronze sorrel
yea
obsidian patio
And Nascent Flash works on much stronger skills
arctic gust
lol i know it is, just not as useful as it was
bronze sorrel
nah
outside of savage and ultimate you never used inner beast more than once every 30s
zinc orbitBOT
bronze sorrel
and actually just outside of harder content you just never used inner beast
tranquil shadow
Guys which Data Center should I pick? EU player here
arctic gust
im talking mostly about the use of steel cyclone to top your HP in large pulls
bronze sorrel
nah
tranquil shadow
Is there like a guide or something
bronze sorrel
just decimate to kill the group faster
obsidian patio
@tranquil shadow either Chaos or Light
bronze sorrel
idk i never used steel cyclone when pulling wall to wall lol
obsidian patio
Both are pretty equal in population to each other
So your main choice differences are if you prefer more French or German players, or preferred servers
bronze sorrel
additionally the on demand mitigation is much easier to use now, bc if u fucked up and went down to 0 gauge, and there was a tank buster coming in the next 10s
you were fucked if you planned an inner beast there
now u just press RI
obsidian patio
Both equal in English.
It’s more that each datacenter has a world that more German/French players go to.
lunar quail
a friend and i just bought ffxiv yesterday and picked different data centers, i tried switching data centers (from primal to crystal)
just to make sure, one of the pre requisites is that your account needs to be 3 days old?
obsidian patio
Moogle of Chaos has more French, and Shiva of Light has more German
tranquil shadow
I@obsidian patio well I don't mind either/or
obsidian patio
@lunar quail yes
tranquil shadow
Also pref servers are ones with the xp boosts?
obsidian patio
Yep
lunar quail
ah, that sucks.. can you play with people on different data centers or only the same data center but diff world?
obsidian patio
!faq worldstatus
zinc orbitBOT
forest laurel
when do priority missions refresh?
faint flare
Tuesday on weekly reset
lunar quail
i’m on behemoth and they’re on goblin.. strange how goblin is a preferred server but you can’t make a new account on it
faint flare
Its cause too many people are on
obsidian patio
!faq serverlock
zinc orbitBOT
tranquil shadow
I was thinking to wait till I can create a char on the full pop ones
Apparently you can do so when it's not like peak time
Ragnarok EU is what I'm looking at not sure if it's a good choice
lunar quail
but i still have the question if can you play with other people on different data centers, or only different servers
like can someone on primal play with someone on crystal
faint flare
No
obsidian patio
Datacenters are completely isolated from each other
You can never meet someone on Crystal if you’re on Primal
lunar quail
dang.. they probably should’ve emphasized that when you first picked your data center.... unless they did and i just missed it
sharp quail
Can you get enlistments from gold saucer challenge logs?
faint flare
Yes
lunar quail
the main reason i bought ffxiv was to play with friends but now i gotta wait 3 days and spend 18 dollars to switch to their server
faint flare
And some unique recruits come from those
obsidian patio
If it’s a new character you can just delete it and remake it on their server/datacenter
sharp quail
i literally need one more recruit so i can just dungeonspam to level up my job
cause i wanna go into HS with ninja
lunar quail
i really was considering that but-
i already spend half a day grinding and i could just spread it out but i wouldn’t want to bother losing the progress
bronze sorrel
u can also buy the squadron enlistment manual
that increases the chance of a member joining u
when u finish a challenge
sharp quail
i don't have a high enough rank in my GC
lunar quail
like with jobs and such.. already got to 20+ with carpenter, leatherworker, and botanist
bronze sorrel
ah ok
sharp quail
im just gonna do a bunch of gold saucer stuff and hope it gets me at least one enlistment
bronze sorrel
if you do leveling roulette every day
hoary storm
did you create the char on a preferred server tho, I dont think you can transfer from preferred before 90 days @lunar quail
lunar quail
no clue, behemoth right now is standard and when i started i don’t really think it told me what server i was sent to
hoary storm
Do you have a buff called road to 70?
lunar quail
do they appear like if i were to cast sprint, like have a timer under my health bar?
hoary storm
looks like this
lunar quail
uh.. that.. very zoomed in i have no clue on the screen where that would be
faint flare
On your buff bar
faint flare
Look at where your buff bar is
lunar quail
(i’m on console don’t bully me)
faint flare
The place where sprint shows up
lunar quail
yea there’s nothing under it
remote lintel
I thought road to 70 was on other status info
lunar quail
i don’t see so then
remote lintel
not enhnacements
lunar quail
where’s that
vagrant copper
Basically, if you can't transfer servers right now, no one knows why.

So are people really buying Ironworks equipment on MB for 100-200k?
brave loom
Hi everyone! One time I saw a really cool book for SMN or SCH, it had a butterfly of light in front of it but I can't find it! Do someone knows the book I am referring? :/
faint flare
Its probably the anima relic weapon
lunar quail
if it’s not there i guess that means i can switch data centers after 3 days?
hoary storm
if you dont have it means you can transfer, but just a heads up that buff doubles the exp you gain from all sources for 90 days so it helps a lot on the leveling process
left cedar
That seems unworth it considering you can buy them with poetics. I'm wondering if it may be worth to use some and sell for some quick money
faint flare
Or just a relic weapon
twilit arch
the crafted ironworks gear is for crafters and gatherers
scenic lichen
the level 50 Ironworks DoW/DoM gear is not tradeable, but the lv60 Ironworks DoH/DoL gear is.
twilit arch
its not the same as the ones bought for poetics, which is for combat jobs
two different sets of gear
brave loom
Hum, thanks! I think I found it: the Anemos Weapon! Even if I don't recall it being green (and the SMN version has bat-like-wings)
twilit arch
There's also fae grimoire/codex (also shares models with aurora/ethica)

Its more a yellowish green
austere vale
is lush vegetation the same as trees in botany?
quiet crystal
yes in method of gathering
you do need secondary tool
you unlock that in level 15 I think
austere vale
Yes I have scythe.
austere vale
but is the lush vegetation in trees?
quiet crystal
They just drop different things is all
no
it's bushes
tree = mature tree, bush = lush vegetation
they will be marked blue on the map
while trees will be marked yellow
austere vale
ah! ty so much 🙂
quiet crystal
If you're doing the quest
I think they're near that one cave part
you can always open your gathering log to find the general area though
Do try to complete the gathering log
Because retainers will only be able to bring items that you already gathered before
austere vale
gotcha, this helps a lot
zealous adder
hi, just registered to make an account with square enix and there's no link on the email to where i put the code?

Log into Mog Station, click Manage Service Options (or Your Account at the top if you're not on the main page), then select Enter Item Code under the Registration Codes section.
zealous adder
I don't have an account yet, i can't login to mogstation.
went through the free trial link
brave seal
how do i unlock high end duty?
faint flare
Then you make one and the code basically links it to your account
remote lintel
the free trial makes you create an account iirc
brave seal
im done with echoes of a fallen star
faint flare
@brave seal unlock eden verse Savage, Memoria misera Extreme or any of the ultimate encounters
High end duties consist of the current extreme mode trial, current Savage tier and ultimates

I've got an email from square enix with a code for temporary registartion already. can't go through to making an account through the regular square enix because it says they've already sent me an email XD
feel like an idiot lol

you don't need a code to play the free trial?

i need a code for a temporary account though

mind if i pm you?

me?

yeah
remote lintel
dunno how much help i can be but sure
pallid eagle
Which more easier on the hands RDM or Dancer and easier to play to 80+
bronze sorrel
theyre both pretty easy to play at 80 imo
faint flare
Just engagement lul
bronze sorrel
i think rdm dies more often to the backflip
pallid eagle
Thinkin of boosting rdm to 70 and ditch my 74 Dancer
quiet crystal
I think I've been doing dash-in, melee combo, and jump-out
I haven't tried dungeon or anything yet
bronze sorrel
ideally you just use the dashes on cooldown
faint flare
Yeah
twilit arch
rdm is probably more likely to die with theirs than a dnc is
bronze sorrel
dash in- melee - dash out is a noob trap
unique geyser
I just finished the Darkscale 3-FATE chain, but "Vedrfolnir Devoteth" isn't starting, did I do something wrong?
twilit arch
cos you use your dashs on cd basically
faint flare
Engagement exists for when backflip kills you
twilit arch
dnc's en avant is strictly for movement so you choose when you need/want to use it
sturdy mason
Is there a macro to show/hide the Healing Gauge in the HUD?
faint flare
Cant hide job gauges
Other than like dragging it away to the side
And hiding it under stuff
Then swap to a hud with it in its proper spot
mental garnet
is there any point to doing ARR daily hunts?
faint flare
Allied seals
mental garnet
the amount is so small though
faint flare
Buy stacks on stacks of aetheryte ticks to never pay for a port
It adds up and decently quick
mental garnet
hmm ok
do i need to do anything to unlock S rank hunts?
or do i just go and kill em
mental garnet
cool
faint flare
Just go out and spawn them
twilit arch
dont need to unlock hunts in general to do S ranks
faint flare
And kill
mental garnet
cuz i noticed like low tier hunts have the hunt billboard
twilit arch
literally just have to show up and tag
zinc orbitBOT
quiet crystal
Seals also used for mount speed
mental garnet
ye i mean
quiet crystal
Although its gon be outdated by 5.3
mental garnet
i was just wondering if the low tier daily hunts from the billboard are worth it
like if i just go kill S ranks
wouldn't the amount be insane?
austere vale
for ingredients, what does it mean when one has a yellow glow and the other does not? Same exact item, but different sell price
mental garnet
compared to the daily ones
twilit arch
personally, i don't bother with teh daily bill
faint flare
They're high quality
twilit arch
since it wants you to do fates, i just do the weekly B rank and that's it for ARR hunts
austere vale
high quality? ok ty
mental garnet
waiting for fates sucks
pallid eagle
So i should boost my rdm to 70 and drop dancer and play rdm to 80 ?
quiet crystal
Play both
pallid eagle
IDK if i wanna play both i prefer to focus on one for Main storyline but kinda want strong dps class able to solo well without struggle
*Ranged

If i buy lvl 70 boost on Machinist and apply it to a non Machinist toon, will the toons job change to Machinist and become lvl 70?
midnight slate
So the lvl 80 training dummies
Are their health scaled to mob enemies or bosses
pale tartan
is there any difference of buying the game from steam vs website?
midnight slate
is there any difference of buying the game from steam vs website?
@pale tartan You can use your steam wallet to buy stuff if you get it on steam
twilit arch
steam will lock you into steam for any and all future purchases
so if you're someone who prefers to hunt for deals, steam doesn't go on sale all that often
but if you're someone who makes use of steam wallet, then you've got that for optional purchases
steam also does regional pricing, so it can be a bit cheaper, and also a bit more straight forward if you're in a region like SEA or something
midnight slate
So I can’t get sales because I bought it on steam
finite gorge
If i buy a character boost, does the boos HAVE TO be used on the same job as the character is, or will it change the characters job?
bronze sorrel
you can level more than one job and swap freely between them
so like lets say you started as a lancer
and ur level 10
it will boost your machinist to level 70, but when you swap back to lancer, youll go back to level 10
u can think of it like having a seperate exp bar for each job
finite gorge
So if i boost the lancer it becomes Machinist, and i can switch freely between them
dense pier
Do you get first clear bonuses when you switch to other jobs?
twilit arch
You can be all jobs on one character
bronze sorrel
so youll have a level 10 lancer and a level 70 machinist
and you can swap between them
twilit arch
no, first time bonus is tied to character, not job. Except for guildhests @dense pier
finite gorge
Okay. Thanks
dense pier
Kk
pallid eagle
Bleh hard to decide between rdm or dancer
knotty tartan
Does anybody play mouse and keyboard on the ps4
remote lintel
just do both
arctic gust
@pallid eagle if you want ease to go through the solo parts of MSQ. RDM
remote lintel
both of them can go through the msq easy
pallid eagle
Not really rdm has heals (better than dancers) and res for parties dungeons
arctic gust
both can, but RDM is simplier, imo
remote lintel
you dont really heal yourself
remote lintel
so does RDM?
arctic gust
RDM does too, but less reliant on it
remote lintel
pale tartan
i'm on crystal and some server says "NA Legacy" while others dont. why?
pallid eagle
That what i meant less reliant on procs for rdm
remote lintel
@pale tartan because they were around since 1.0
obsidian patio
No.
twilit arch
No it doesnt mean anything for new players
arctic gust
Legacy servers were the servers kept from 1.0
twilit arch
its just there for people who played in 1.0 as their character from 1.0 might be on that server
remote lintel
dancer procs doesnt make the class worse
pale tartan
ok cool. i'll create new char on balmung then
bronze sorrel
dnc has a second layer of procs
but ur fishing for procs every other gcd on rdm
its about the same tbh
remote lintel
also doesnt RDM have like the worst damage
bronze sorrel
nah
faint flare
Of casters
bronze sorrel
dnc has lowest rdps rn
