1 to 3 are class specific

#

So if you set something there it goes away when you switch class

jade quartz
#

Non-shared hotbars change when you switch class. These are for your combat skills.

#

Shared hotbars are static across classes.

#

So non-combat-related stuff that you use regardless of your current class should go there.

sick zenith
#

So use a shared hotbar for things like gearsets, mounts, stuff youll use on any class

lavish vortex
#

So, everything like calling my mount or sprint should be in 4 or up, right?

jade quartz
#

Gearsets should go on a shared hotbar

sick zenith
#

Yep

#

4 or up

warped nest
#

Shared: general purpose

jade quartz
#

Sprint can go on a shared bar, or you can just make sure it's in the same place for every job in non-shared

warped nest
#

Not shared: job specific stuff

jade quartz
#

depending on how you like stuff laid out

lavish vortex
#

But gear sets are job specific, right? Why should they go on shared ones?

sick zenith
#

Tfw have double tap L2 crossbar w/ mount and teleport globally

warped nest
#

Changing gearset

sick zenith
#

Maximum convenience

slate arrow
jade quartz
#

@lavish vortex it's a button to switch jobs

#

so you have a bar with all your jobs lined up

slate arrow
lavish vortex
#

Ohhh! I see

#

Got it

sick zenith
#

Lets you line up all the gear for a class and equip it all with one press later

warped nest
#

@lavish vortex to future proof this, put your shared stuff in 8-10, and make the rest unshared

jade quartz
#

The grey/white buttons on the right-hand side

lavish vortex
#

That’s advanced stuff haha I’m still finishing my first play through with lance

jade quartz
#

in Industrial's screenshots

warped nest
#

It is easier to go from unshared to shared

jade quartz
#

those are the gear set buttons.

warped nest
#

If you right click or square on PS4, and open the context menu

dry ocean
#

ive purchased the game

warped nest
#

Most of the things allow you to make a hotbar button out of them

sick zenith
#

@dry ocean welcome

warped nest
#

This includes recipes, items, certain menu command, etc

dry ocean
#

it says my account needs to be the same region as the se acc

sick zenith
#

Ill make a hotbar button out of you Lchronos

lavish vortex
#

Nice, after I finish my first playthrough I’m gonna try conjured and keep all this in mind

#

Thank you so much guys

jade quartz

jade quartz
#

Playstation

dry ocean

slate arrow
#

#

nevermind i'm stupid

jade quartz
#

Then simple

#

dry ocean
#

jade quartz
#

What region is your SE account?

slate arrow
#

EU key must be used on an EU account

#

in this case EU refers to everywhere that is not NA or JP

#

which includes australia

sick zenith
#

Ha

#

Australian erasure

dry ocean
#

new account? or do I just need to change my region in my acc

slate arrow
#

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.

arctic oriole
#

may i ask can u raise the speed of ur mount? if yes where can i find it in gridania?

little swift
#

mount speed is earned through MSQ

#

for the first level

#

and then the 2nd level can be bought with allied seals

#

or the itinerant moogle

#

using the moogle tomestones

arctic oriole
#

but do i have to unlock it?

little swift
#

granted by 5.3 this will be largely useless since you will get flight in ARR areas

#

you have to unlock the first level via msq yes

arctic oriole
#

oh so i dont have to raise them anymore?

little swift
#

not much point since flight is faster

#

but its up to you

arctic oriole
#

any clue how i can fly?

#

i purchased Bennu

robust crow
#

you can't fly until heavenswards

arctic oriole
#

ahh

little swift
#

for now

robust crow
#

you also have to basically explore the whole zone to be able to fly in it

When can I start optiminizing my job
I see youtubers getting crits like 90% of the time and i wanna do that

cold scarab
#

How hard are the Alexander Savage Raids via duty finder? I've been able to with some work do many of the Extreme Trials from ARR and HW via Duty Finder, though not easy - I want to know how feasible it is so I have them done for completion sake - gotta get those check marks in duty finder

faint flare
#

Enjoy wiping over and over to farm crit rng

#

Very hard

#

No one ever uses duty finder for extremes, savage, ultimate, minsitral ballad or binding coils content

#

Cause theres actual mechanics that wipe people very easily

#

Savage is a step up from extremes

#

Just do them unsync with lv80s

midnight slate
#

When can I star melding my Gear?

#

With materia

faint flare
#

You can meld whenever, its just more a thing a cap

cold scarab
#

No one seems interested so far from my time in party finder, so no luck there but I won't count on duty finder then

#

I've been away from the game for more than 6 years. Back then FFXIV App was a thing. I noticed there hasn't been much mention of it lately. Is it now banned or is there a replacement?

#

I found the github and it seems still active

jade quartz
#

There is the Final Fantasy XIV Companion App

#

It's pretty much useless

eternal sable
#

Yeah I have the mobile app it's bad

jade quartz
#

Registering it to your FFXIV account gets you an emote and an extra favoured teleport destination slot though

That's the only reason I have it

Flying FAQ
Info

'How can I unlock Flying?'

Flying is unlocked through the collecting of a zone's Aether Currents, with every zone having ten 'green' Aether Currents found in the overworld and five 'yellow' Aether Currents obtained through the MSQ and side quests marked with a plus sign. Azys Lla is the only zone to not have any green Aether Currents. You must collect all Aether Currents in a zone to be able to fly.

'Where can I find the green Aether Currents?'

Upon obtaining the Black Chocobo mount you are also given an Aether Compass, which is a key item you can use to locate the nearest non-quest Aether Current. This can be set to your Hotbar for ease of use. Alternatively, you can use this website to show the location of all Aether Currents for a zone. http://heavenswhere.com/

'What zones can I fly in?'

Flying is only possible in the expansion zones.

jade quartz
#

@eternal sable just put your tells in another tab then

#

xivapp is defunct

#

There's not really much reasonable reason to need more than four chat tabs

eternal sable
#

Okay, thanks. That's what I was checking for. I think there is, personally. General, Battle, Tells, LS, FC, etc

Battle tab is not useful.

@pallid eagle you're missing Foul, which is used in both single targrt and aoe prior to xenoglossy

leaden ginkgo
#

Iirc there's 2 accounts @dry ocean , though I forget which is which and their functions, probably the issue

#

(we pretty much all agree it doesn't make sense, mind)

#

Unfortunately user interface on websites doesn't appear to be SEs forte

dry ocean
#

So i need to make 2 acc?

#

@leaden ginkgo

#

One for Se, one for account management

leaden ginkgo
#

Well, on the two different places I think. But I just pointed that out to say the possible issue, not the possible fix- I'm not an expert on this, and I last did it a while ago. I need someone elses advice on how to go about doing it for you xp

#

Sorry, I just didn't want to leave you without any information at all for too ling

dry ocean
#

Thanksssss

#

@pallid eagle I don’t see Ley Lines, Between the Lines, Freeze, or Thunder 2/4 on your bar either. I also suggest putting blizzard 1 and transpose on your bar for low level dungeons you may get through leveling roulette.

jade quartz
#

@pallid eagle You're really gonna need three hotbars.

#

Stuff doesn't just get taken off.

#

(BLM arguably has the most stuff that can just be taken off, but then you're going to want it back again when level synced down)

unkempt oasis
#

there is any program can use with game like addons in wow

#

?

jade quartz
#

ACT is the standard parser

faint flare
#

There's only 1 real addon

jade quartz
#

and there are various overlays to use with it.

faint flare
#

Which is that

jade quartz
#

This game does not have addons like WoW.

#

Fights are not designed around them like they are in WoW.

faint flare
#

cause we like playing our game

jade quartz
#

Also any third-party programs, even ACT, are strictly speaking against the ToS

#

So don't discuss them ingame

#

and definitely don't harrass random players over their low dps numbers.

What is up with the crystal tower strike in the golden saucer place? Seems random how much MGP it gives?

Hi, I want to level a lvl 50 Class and when you go to Duty Finder, it will always sync your level, yes? Question is- if I would go for Duty Roulette - 50/60/70 Dungeons instead of the DR - Levelling, am I going to get better experience from the former choice or the latter?

Mounts FAQ
Info

'When can I get my first mount?'

The quest that allows you to use mounts, 'My Little Chocobo' is unlocked by completing the level 20 main story quest 'The Company You Keep'. The quest is located at the Grand Company base you chose and you'll need to buy the Chocobo Issuance from your Grand Company Quartermaster. You can get the 200 needed Grand Company seals by doing the main story quest that comes after 'The Company You Keep'.

'Are there any differences between mounts?'

Besides looks, all mounts are the same speed along with being able to fly in the expansion zones. Some mounts allow multiple people to ride at once.

'Can I make my mount faster?'

Zones have one or two ranks of mount speed that increase the ground speed of mounts. The first rank comes from completing specific quests in the main scenario quests, with the second rank coming from Riding Maps which are bought with either Allied Seals, Centurio Seals, or Bicolor Gemstones. Mount Speed Boosts do not increase the flying speed of mounts.

#

I'm starting 8 man raids and I'm pretty sure im going to be off tanking

#

what is my role usually

frank chasm
#

How do I transfer money to an alt?

trail rivet
#

in a lot of cases, there isn't really a difference between main tank and off tank beyond who pulls the boss first

hot eagle
#

in some fight as ot you are only a blue dps, in other you need to tank adds and it changes from duty to duty

pallid eagle
#

If i can't do BLM would DRG be better choice or SAM ?

trail rivet
#

because there will be a tank swap at some point and the "off tank" will then start tanking the boss, and therefore become main tank

#

if you're the tank that is not currently tanking the boss, and there are no adds, you're basically just dpsing with tank stance off, waiting until a) your turn to provoke and tank, or b) for adds to show up

fluid tinsel
#

When tanking ADDs do i pull them to the side? or right on top with the MT

hot eagle
#

How do I transfer money to an alt?
@frank chasm u can use the market board for it or ask a friend to be the between

trail rivet
#

depends entirely on the fight

warped nest
#

When tanking ADDs do i pull them to the side? or right on top with the MT
@fluid tinsel depends on the fight

trail rivet
#

are you going to be going into the current eden savage?

warped nest
#

However, generally, If it is 1 big add, you pull it away

fluid tinsel
#

I'm going into castrum Meridianum and watching a guide on it right now

warped nest
#

Especially when the add has some sort of tether/link to the boss

trail rivet
#

Oh, so you are a newbie? Playing through the story, at level 50?

frank chasm
#

@hot eagle how do I use the market board?

fluid tinsel
#

yep!

warped nest
#

If that's the case, just let the other tank handle it

trail rivet
#

In that case, you are not going to be doing any end game raiding for a while

#

Castrum is not a raid, it is just an 8 man dungeon

fluid tinsel
#

ah

#

😂

#

got it

trail rivet
#

wait, castrum is the MSQ dungeon right?

#

so many castrums

fluid tinsel
#

yessir

trail rivet
#

ok, yeah

#

that is very old content, from 6 years ago, so everyone will be very overgeared

#

you don't have to worry about that very much

warped nest
#

Yeah... Castrum are sorta kinda the prefix for garlean related stuff

hot eagle
#

@hot eagle how do I use the market board?
@frank chasm set a item to sell like an iron ore for 1000000 from the the char u want to move the money on and buy it from the char that has the money

frank chasm
#

😮

trail rivet
#

in leveling content (casual content), there is never any need for tank swaps. so if the other tank agrees to be main tank, you as off tank just leave tank stance off and DPS

frank chasm
#

You are a super genius

trail rivet
#

you'll start encountering 8-man trials soon after these 8-man story dungeons

frank chasm
#

But isn’t there a fee?

trail rivet
#

in those cases, there can still be adds sometimes and you can usually grab them and bring them anywhere

forest pilot
#

the story a realm reborn ends around at lvl 50 right?

trail rivet
#

yes

#

there are many level 50 quests though

wind kindle
#

Yellow, in terms of DPS, how does Red Mage fares?

trail rivet
#

the story will end with a few lv50 quests after you finish the lv49 quests, but then there's 100 quests from the 2 years between expansions, all level 50 as well

forest pilot
#

ok

hot eagle
#

But isn’t there a fee?
@frank chasm yes but its not too much but its better as to give the gil to some random to move it

dense pier
#

What vendor sells bronze plates?

forest pilot
#

well i just got lvl locked by item lvl anyways so

frank chasm
#

Is the fee like 20k or 80k?

forest pilot
#

ill figure that out

fluid tinsel
#

Ty @trail rivet !

frank chasm
#

Because I was going to transfer like 5m

trail rivet
#

actually kyaeror, one correction. if someone else agrees to main tank an 8-man fight, leave tank stance off and DPS. BUT. if the main tank dies, be ready to turn it on and provoke the boss right away!

dense pier
#

Who sells bronze plates?

probably more 20-80k since its 5% or 10% since buyer and seller need to pay a tax but its the safest option, only other way would be fc chest if both are in the same fc and got the rights for it or a friend/random that is inbetween @frank chasm

What's the easiest way to grind levels?

pallid eagle
#

Fates/Roulettes/Hunts/Beast Tribes

#

And challenge logs

#

And if all done just dungeon spam xD

hot eagle
#

or leves, jobquests and ishgard if u ask for doh/dol also daily gc turn-in

pine bluff
#

hey guys what does interject do?

hot eagle
#

also potd/hoh for dps

pine bluff
#

how's it different to.. like stunning the target?

twilit arch
#

interject interrupts certain casts

#

and not all casts can be stunned

#

when the cast bar is flashing/pulsing, it means you can interrupt it with interject

forest pilot

@forest pilot do your jobquests the lvl50 jobquests gives u a coffer with ilvl90 gear

forest pilot

oh yea my job quest. i forgot to do that

is it worth levelling hand/land classes early on

or is it better to leave them til im high level

How profitable is Mining alone?

dense pier
#

Wait until you got a mount and a bunch of aether teleport spots at the least

#

Mounts help a lot

pine bluff
#

ah ok

dense pier
#

especially once you finish a lot of the MSQ

#

you get extra mount speed

#

so you're even faster

#

Leveling gathering/crafting is super easy today anyways. Even ignoring grand company turn-ins and ixali beast tribe (50 only), you can just use well-researched Leve gather/craft quests and just bounce from tier to tier

#

Like I literally zoomed my way from 1 to 50 mining

#

just buy vendor gather gear to fill the levels

forest pilot
#

doesnt that require a load of money

#

how would you generate that

dense pier
#

I mean, if you wait till you get later level you have that money

#

I did it

#

and I did just fine

hybrid rapids
#

Helloo I’m making a character would anyone know what world to choose for the best multiplayer experience?

dense pier
#

I still do it even

wind kindle
#

What do you mean by well-researched Levegather/craft quests? Should I incorporate usage of the thingy in Ishgard?

pine bluff
#

@hybrid rapids it depends on where you live

#

google for the best servers at your location

dense pier
#

@wind kindle
Google ffxiv leveling guides for a job

hybrid rapids
#

Ahh alright alright ty

dense pier
#

it will tell you which leves to use

#

base on easiness and price

wind kindle
#

Oh literally, alright. Thanks.

#

While my GSM is still low

#

This is what im using

wind kindle
#

I guess Ill go there and try it myself for the other Gatherer and Crafter classes.

oblique yew
#

What do I do? I didn't take on the duty finder tutorial and now in MSQ I've to use duty finder

dense pier
#

Yeah, it makes a huge difference

#

Like, you level so fast that trying to raft your own gear is kind of pointless since two or 3 levequests and you are already at the next tier of gear and job quest

#

@wind kindle
Also, if you never found out. You have a "Gathering Log" which literally shows you where every single item in the world is to gather

#

and will even open your map to the location too

little swift
#

What do I do? I didn't take on the duty finder tutorial and now in MSQ I've to use duty finder
@oblique yew your duty finder can be accessed with the keyboard key "u" by default

Alright, copy. I'll guess I'll go get most of the Gatherer and Crafter classes instead of just Miner alone.

@oblique yew basically every interface in the game can be found in the lower right (assuming you haven't moved it).

forest pilot
#

@hot eagle so i did the class quest and it only raised it up by avg of one level (currently lvl 39)

#

would i just buy more gear

#

oh nvm for some reason the recommended gear put in a lvl 5 ring

#

and i glossed over it many times

leaden ginkgo
#

You really shouldn't have any ilevel troubles at that point as long as your taking your classes gear for quest rewards

#

Like, I never got close to worrying about that

forest pilot
#

it put in a lvl 5 ring

#

and i never noticed

#

it really brought the average down

leaden ginkgo
#

Idk why it would do that really, I'd need more info. But it shouldn't I don't think

Did you pick the correct ring for quest rewards?

Because even if you get a higher ilevel ring if it boosts wrong stat game will pick lower level ring over it

Hey, my friend is trying to get into Mateus

anyone know a solid time they might open for new characters?

twilit arch

probably try in like 2-3 hours

forest pilot

i guess thats what happen

#

it just autopicks the ring thats fits me rather than just item lvl

twilit arch
#

The recommended gear values both ilvl and main stat

#

and iirc to a smaller degree the secondaries

#

but ilvl and main stat are both weighted much more heavily, so yeah it'll pick a lower ilvl item because it has your role's main stat on it if you don't have a high ilvl item with your main stat on it

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.

primal relic
#

So do I lose the optional items when I do it?

slate arrow
#

no

primal relic
#

Hmmm ok

nova umbra
#

can you refer a friend after they already made their account but they're still on free trial?

frank anchor
#

I've been looking for my allied seals and can't seem to find them, are they the same as the company seals? kina confused

subtle shore
#

the gear is tied to you once you use it as a glamour, so you can't resell it or anything like that

nova umbra
#

oh wait, can you not refer a friend anymore?

twilit arch
#

You can only refer people who have bought the game but not yet paid for a sub

#

And yes you can still recruit

#

but you need an active sub to do so

nova umbra
#

where do I find my referal code?

twilit arch
#

there's a recruit a friend banner on the account page

#

click on that

nova umbra
#

ah I see it, thank you

#

so they just use the code when they convert from free trial to buying the game right?

twilit arch
#

ya

nova umbra
#

can you not use the code after they've been subscribed? I have another friend who's been playing for over a month and I didn't know about this referral system

warped nest
#

Too bad

twilit arch
#

nope, if they've paid for a sub then they are ineligible to be recruited

primal relic
#

Do I need to own it to glamour it onto something else?

twilit arch
#

yes

Thnx

earnest copper
#

Can someone help with how to get rogue class unlock (new players)

twilit arch
#

you need to get a class to lvl 10 and complete their lvl 10 class quest, then head to the rogue's guild in limsa to pick up their starting quest. its recommended to start as marauder or arcanist as they start in limsa, if you started as another class you'll need to wait until around lvl 15 in the main scenario quest when it takes you to the other city stats and unlocks the airship travel to be able to unlock it

earnest copper
#

Ok I have unlock the area but the mission says it locked and doesn't say why

slate arrow
#

Did you do your level 10 class quest

earnest copper
#

I believe so ...but how do you check just to make sure

sick zenith
#

@pine bluff seeing your ping just now, ty!

limber hamlet
#

buying shadowblood gets me any other expacs i havent bought, yea?

shell dagger
#

^ yes

#

and it's shadowbringers

#

@earnest copper - once you've switched over to your class, there should be another quest name under the MSQ quest in your top left corner of the screen

#

if there isn't, there aren't any new job quests to do because you don't qualify for them. if there is, then it'll give you the name of that job quest, and you can click it to see where you need to go to do it

limber hamlet
#

@shell dagger
Ok so just to make sure, I only had ARR and stormblood
But since i got shadowbringer standard, i got heavensword to?

shell dagger
#

if you bought stormblood you should have gotten heavensward

oblique yew
#

If I do only MSQ, what level will it take me to?

shell dagger
#

i think it'll depend on if you've got the road to 70 buff imho. if you've got that, you'll level up fairly quickly if you do MSQ + your daily duty roulettes

magic light
#

possibly slightly under the next req for next msq without the buff

#

a few roulettes should fix that

oblique yew
#

How do I access roulettes?

magic light
#

U button

little swift
#

you will unlock a roulette once you have unlocked 2 duties that are part of the roulette

#

so unlocking the first 2 dungeons of the game will unlock Duty Roulette: Levelling

obsidian patio
#

you need to stay subscribed to keep the premium in-game benefits of the companion app.

dense pier
#

That's lame, thank you

obsidian patio
#

IMO It's not really worth it unless you'll make good usage out of the app or if you really need the extra chocobo bag storage

dense pier
#

The extra retainer on top of chocobo bag feels pretty big together

#

I like having my base crafting mats available on demand

#

Instead of going back to a city, to market, summon, then go back to wherever it is I need to turn something in

twilit arch
#

2 extra retainers would probably be more value than companion sub

#

if you're looking strictly at bag space

#

but if you make a lot of use of the chocobo bag then that's fair

dense pier
#

That's a lot of exploration field mats

#

Is there a hard cap on how many retainers you can have?

twilit arch
#

its like 9 or 10?

#

i wanna say 10 if you've got companion app sub

sick zenith

Is Cape westwind ok to run blind

Theres the brand new ring and the friendship circlet

twilit arch
#

the aetheryte earrings, no. but there's the brand new ring from completing the hall of novice excerises, it gives exp boost til 30

#

friendship circlet is from recruit a friend and boosts exp til 20

pine bluff

nothing else past 30?

mm ok

outside of eating food for 3% buff

Armoury bonus exp

pine bluff

and preferred world bonus yeah

#

oh isn't there a grand company boost or something

twilit arch
#

the squadron manual?

#

those are essentially free company rank 3 buffs

pine bluff
#

that's the one

#

how much bonus is that

twilit arch
#

15% iirc

pine bluff
#

but it looks like brand new ring and preferred world boost doesn't stack 😦

twilit arch
#

they do

pine bluff
#

I've got the brand new ring already and am on a preferred world, but I only get +100%

twilit arch
#

quest exp or kill exp

pine bluff
#

quest

twilit arch
#

road to 70 is the only thing that affects quest xp

pine bluff

so on kill exp I should get 130?

all other exp buffs only affect kill, for combat jobs

hmm ok

Hi, I'm a new player and I've been doing light raids quite comfortably. What's it like doing larger dungeons etc, because I'm slightly nervous as a healer tbh. Thanks :)

robust crow
#

you're doing fine

#

by "light raid" i assume you mean 8 mans

#

8 mans are the endgame

solar cliff
#

4 atm

#

Haven't done an 8 yet

oak ice
#

Light party dungeons are standard

#

There are only 2 8 man dungeons in the game

robust crow
#

in an 8 man, you'll have another healer to help

mystic yew
#

so i just started miner, now level 22, i heard you can level real quick using ishgard restoration, how do you do that?

robust crow
#

go to the diadem

mystic yew
#

just go around in the diadem and mine?

robust crow
#

it's part of ishgard restoration

#

yes

#

and pop an xp bonus if you have one

mystic yew
#

?

#

like food?

robust crow
#

food and company XP boost

#

if you've ranked up with your grand company

solar cliff
#

So there's a co-healer? Nice. Thank you Renaulte.

robust crow
#

24 mans are generally pretty easy

mystic yew
#

ok, so that's really all there is to it, thanks!

robust crow
#

they're less mechanically taxing than the endgame 8 man raids

solar cliff
#

24 😳 oh god

robust crow
#

each group has 2 healers in a 24 man

mystic yew
#

uh excuse you renaulte, i still cannot do basic math

robust crow
#

so there's 6 total

#

3 groups of 8

#

you're mainly just responsible for your 8man

#

healing the other 16 is optional

mystic yew
#

you really only rez a healer in another group if they're all dead

solar cliff
#

I tend to panic heal absolutely everything currently, but I'm learning to throw in dps when I can

robust crow
#

but if shit goes bad in group A and you're comfortable in group C, of course feel free to toss a rez or something for them

mystic yew
#

what level are you now?

solar cliff
#

32, just been doing a lot of side stuff

robust crow
#

generally speaking, you won't need to panic heal all that much

mystic yew
#

as you get higher levels, you get off-gcd heals that are quite strog

robust crow
#

if you're excessively panic healing then your tank's got a superiority complex

mystic yew
#

so you can use your gcd's for damage

robust crow
#

or your DPS couldn't dodge a parked car

solar cliff
#

If I see the health bar go down slightly I instantly attend to it

#

Idk why

robust crow
#

generally speaking, damage comes out slower in FF14 compared to other mmorpgs

#

topping off is fine but you can comfortably wait until like 40-60% to start healing

solar cliff
#

Oh okay

robust crow
#

most of the time

mystic yew
#

unless your tank is doing wall to wall pulls the damage should be very ok

obsidian patio
#

I recommend taking note of how much your spells heal for, so you can avoid overhealing whenever possible

robust crow
#

if you're a white mage

#

regen by itself heals a lot

#

you can get by a whole dungeon on pretty much only regen on the DPS

#

at those levels

solar cliff
#

Really? Oh okay that's a relief then

mystic yew
#

and if they die, they'll learn to dodge the aoe's next time ^^

solar cliff
#

This is my first MMO so I'm still learning the ropes, thanks for all the advice btw

warped nest
#

You need to remember the function of each spell

#

Regen: need to heal a lot but don't need to happen right away

#

Cure: need to heal a decent chunk right now
Cure II: need to heal a bigger chunk than Cure right now

#

And employ them accordingly

solar cliff
#

Cure and Medica are my go to's currently, but I'll take all of what you said into consideration, thank you 😊

warped nest
#

Medica and Medica II is the AOE equivalent of Cure and Regen in terms of function

#

Medica II heal more, but it doesn't happen right away, while Medica can be used multiple times consecutively

#

Good luck

solar cliff
#

@warped nest appreciate it man, thank you 😊

robust crow
#

don't spam medica II

#

one medica II is fine

#

if you need more aoe healing past that then use medica

#

heals more immediately and costs less MP

Hello

#

Since it’s Friday can someone tell me how to do the fashion report?

robust crow
#

google "fashion report this week"

#

go to kaiyoko star's twitter

#

pull up the image for the necessary items this week

#

do you want the 100 pts or the 80 pts?

frank chasm
#

Whatever I can do

#

I’m only level 27

robust crow
#

the 100 pts and the 80 pts reward the same amount of MGP

#

the 100 pts gives you an achievement and a title though

frank chasm
#

That’s it?

robust crow
#

yeah

#

so you only need to do the 100 pts once

#

then you can just aim for the 80 pts every week after that

frank chasm
#

Ok

#

I went to Kiyoko stars twitter

#

Ok I think I get it

twilit arch
#

we also have the command here for it

#

!fr

zinc orbitBOT
#
Fashion Report for the week of 5/19-5/25

Resets in 2 Days, 23 Hours, 2 Minutes, 57 Seconds

frank chasm
#

So I see where it says easy 100 pts and easy 80

#

But what is the other stuff above all that

robust crow
#

the stuff above it is just all the possible gear options

frank chasm
#

Like it says vegabond and

twilit arch
#

the items listed above are all possible gold star point items

robust crow
#

that are "correct"

#

but if you just follow the bottom 2 pics then you'll have the 100 pts

frank chasm
#

Does it make a difference if I get 100?

warped nest
#

Btw, if you don't have spare gils to do this, just participating with all gear will give you passing scores and yield some decent MGP

robust crow
#

yeah I explained earlier

twilit arch
#

So like you don't have to use the stablehand hat if you don't have it, if you have say the angler's hat instead

robust crow
#

difference between 100 and 80 is just an achievement and a title

warped nest
#

So don't bust your wallet doing it perfectly

robust crow
#

so you only need 100 once and then you can go for 80 every week after that

frank chasm
#

Oh

#

Ok

#

What do I dye?

robust crow
#

and make sure you have something equipped in every slot

#

when it's judging

frank chasm
#

I have my stuff glamoured

#

I don’t have a soul stone or shield

twilit arch
#

dont need a soul stone or shield

frank chasm
#

Do I dye the stuff

#

I’m wearing?

robust crow
#

glamour works too

warped nest
#

If you needed more points, yes

robust crow
#

if your glamour is dyed then you can use that

frank chasm
#

So I can just dye it and glamour it back after

twilit arch
#

just make sure the appropriate slots are dyed the colours specified in the image

frank chasm
#

Ok

robust crow
#

or you can do what I do

#

craft/buy some level 1 piece of gear

#

dye that

frank chasm
#

?

robust crow
#

then discard when you're done

#

don't have to worry about dying it back

frank chasm
#

I have my glamours set on the color dyes already

robust crow
#

that's why you have the new level 1 piece of gear

#

equip it and don't apply your glamour plate

frank chasm
#

So do I just check all the summer breeze hats and get the cheapest l?

robust crow
#

that'd work yes

#

but be advised

#

people jack up the prices on the items

frank chasm
#

😦

robust crow
#

i guarantee you'll find the price varying wildly over the weekend

#

while people fight to undercut each other

twilit arch
#

kaiyoko does also list the vendors who sell the gear, provided they're vendor gear

obsidian patio
#

stablemaid's hat is a vendor item

#

don't bother with the marketboard

robust crow
#

yep

#

lots of the gears on the list are vendor items

frank chasm
#

It was 2k only

#

2.5k

robust crow
#

people who buy it from marketboard are just lazy

frank chasm
#

Yeah, that’s me haha

#

And dumb

#

How do I find the vendors?

robust crow
#

google is your best bet

warped nest
#

It is written there in the pic too

Just sniff around the area

It’s high level gear

robust crow
#

get 100 another week

#

just go for 80

oblique yew
#

Is it just jumping like a madman?

robust crow
#

dodge what exactly

oblique yew
#

Aoe

robust crow
#

avoid bad circles

#

run out of them

warped nest
#

You walk out of the way

#

This game doesn't do dodging i-frame

frank chasm
#

Awesome

warped nest
#

Btw, your character hitbox is actually a very small dot

frank chasm
#

I only spend like 4k or 5k

oblique yew
#

As soon as I see the aoe circle or cone, I just walk away from it?

warped nest
#

Yes

oblique yew
#

Even as a tank

warped nest
#

Yes

robust crow
#

you should aim to dodge anything you can

oblique yew
#

Okie

robust crow
#

but if you are tanking

#

be wary not to face the boss toward the raid/party if you dodge something

#

bosses like to hit things in front of them

warped nest
#

This is not absolute either

robust crow
#

generally speaking, yeah

oak ice
#

Generally speaking, you should develop the habit of walking out of any visible cones or circles. When you need to stand in them is based on fights

robust crow
#

if you go into a fight blind, which I imagine you will probably do most of the time

#

you can safely default to "face the boss away from the raid"

#

until you learn what that boss does

warped nest
#

There are even attacks you want to eat

#

Some attacks will target a party member and a few of the players need to stack with them to split the damage

#

Or you have a debuff and to cleanse it, you need to get hit by a certain attack

frank chasm
#

Got 80

#

How does kiyoko figure it out?

oblique yew
#

The problem that I've had so far was that my party just marches on forward while I want to explore

robust crow
#

she makes a reddit thread at the beginning of the week

#

and a couple players get together and trial-and-error it out

obsidian patio
#

The themes for each item slot are also set in stone and don't change

frank chasm
#

Oh I see

#

So there’s recurring themes

obsidian patio
#

An example theme is "Coiled Finally" which means Dreadwyrm equipment from the third tier of coil.

frank chasm
#

Hmm guess I should keep some items than

obsidian patio
#

So a chestpiece with the "Coiled Finally" theme wants a Dreadwyrm chestpiece

warped nest
#

Not really necessary to be honest

robust crow
#

the easy 80 is simple enough that you can usually buy/vendor most of it every week

oblique yew
#

Is block rate important?

warped nest
#

You can keep the rare piece if you want to

obsidian patio
#

yeah, if all you want is the MGP then you can generally just rely on vendor gear

oak ice
#

Block is passive RNG mitigation

obsidian patio
#

@oblique yew ehh. you mostly ignore it since shields eventually just have an even amount of both block rate and block strength

warped nest
#

Is block rate important?
@oblique yew it is, but you can't do much to it

frank chasm
#

I got 60k mgp

oblique yew
#

I got this shield that give +50 block strength but-50 rate

oak ice
#

You will get it naturally by getting better shields

robust crow
#

don't worry much about stats at your level

warped nest
#

It happens at lower level

robust crow
#

just look for your main stat

frank chasm
#

I’m swimming in MGP

obsidian patio
#

shields having high rate and low strength and vice versa stops happening about halfway through heavensward.

oak ice
#

When the scutums stop being their own thing

robust crow
#

fenrir mount costs 1m MGP

frank chasm
#

What can I use mgp for?

robust crow
#

so most people aim for that

obsidian patio
#

cosmetic minions/mounts/glamour weapons+equipment/music rolls/TT cards

frank chasm
#

Is it at the place by the card place?

obsidian patio
#

In the end it's all cosmetic/vanity stuff.

warped nest
#

Wynne, you typed so fast lol

oak ice
#

He's an olympic speed typer

warped nest
#

Other easy source of MGP are the daily mini cactpot and the weekly cactpot

frank chasm
#

Ok

#

So I check the weekly cacpot saturday?

warped nest
#

You want to buy yours before the result is out

robust crow
#

you can see the vendors in the main lobby area

#

there's "prize exchange"

#

lots of glamours to get too

#

like the sexy bunny glamour

warped nest
#

Or pimpin' glitter tuxedo

#

Or cactus glowing casino themed weapons

frank chasm
#

Cool

#

I don’t see the cactus weapons flow

#

Glow

warped nest
#

It is very subtle

obsidian patio
#

I think those weapons also have a custom/unique auto-attack sound

mortal root
#

does anyone have experience using kill ping? if so did it improve much

silver vessel
#

When I hit 80 is it worth it just to buy a full set of Neo-Ishgard?

robust crow
#

it's pretty cheap now, but don't do it if you're not swimming in gil

#

getting to ilevel 480 doesn't take long

silver vessel
#

Whats the definition of swimming? 😛

robust crow
#

if spending 400-800k is nothing to you

magic light
#

is rookturret only meant for 1 target or can it swap targets if the first target dies?

robust crow
#

if it's half your wallet then don't do it

silver vessel
#

hmm ok

zenith robin
#

get someone nice in your FC to craft it for you

robust crow
#

i'd pick up a few pieces just to hit the ilevel requirements for nier/eden 5-8

obsidian patio
#

@magic light I don't think rook can swap targets :\

silver vessel
#

Are the mats cheap @zenith robin ?

magic light
#

can rookover drive swap targets?

hybrid rapids
#

Hi! On an average, how long does it take for SE to accept paypal payments for Crysta?

zenith robin
#

They're not too expensive. Might have to do some server hopping to find some deals.

obsidian patio
#

IIRC, yes grain

zenith robin
#

You can also do E5-8 normal raids and pick up 480 gear that way.

silver vessel
#

Whats the minimum req for those?

obsidian patio
#

i455.

#

!faq gearguide

zinc orbitBOT
obsidian patio
#

Spam level 80 dungeons for tomestones of phantasmagoria to spend on i460 gear along with whatever the dungeons drop

silver vessel
#

ahh ok

zenith robin
#

use your allegory tomestones as well so they dont cap, for 490 gear

silver vessel
#

ty

frank anchor
#

@hybrid rapids was always instant for me, except one time where I got 20k it took 5minutes or something before it was refilled

oblique yew
#

How to do dressed to deceive quest?

#

It's red coloured for me

#

Even though my lvl is higher

obsidian patio
#

Make sure you have the Weathered Shepherd stuff equipped

dense pier
#

oh?

#

mgp for vanity gear?

marble drift
#

yep thats its core reason

dense pier
#

So would it be a good idea to use those tomes to buy the mgp $$ thing

#

cause I don't feel like playing their minigames

marble drift
#

well the minigames are a poor way to earn mgp anyway. the best way is other things like lottery tickets every week and wondrous tails

dense pier
#

wonderous tails?

marble drift
#

a thing you unlock post 50 (iirc) that lets you do some older content to get these stickers to put in your book that may or may not give rewards because the position of the stickers is random on your grid

#

basically a reason to do older stuff

obsidian patio
#

60

dense pier
#

ah

marble drift
#

dense pier
#

Looks like i still have a ways to go then

#

until I can get more cosmetic armor

#

since im stuck in ARR msq chain atm

marble drift
#

oh mgp only has a specific selection of vanity items

#

there are plenty you can get outside that

dense pier
#

Up until now, I've just been using tomes that i get for mount maps

#

Which have proven very useful yes

marble drift
#

wait tomes as in poetics?

dense pier
#

no

#

the moogle thing

marble drift
#

oh. right the moogle event

#

yes thats hella side content

#

all the stuff available from those (bar the vanity necklace thing)

#

is available in other ways

dense pier
#

the moogle event lets you buy some redeem ticket that adds 50,000 MGP to your account

marble drift
#

its just shortcutted here

#

right. I wouldnt focus on that stuff. Its all extra

#

and they come back semi-regularly now.

dense pier
#

muh vanity...

marble drift
#

and like I said everything availble bar a single little vanity item is obtainable in other ways

dry ocean
#

Does the code bought on se store expires?

marble drift
#

for the game? no. not to my knowledge

#

Im curious as to why you would wait however

flat hearth
#

is it possible to use skills from other classes?

marble drift
#

Not anymore. That used to be a thing

#

but every role now has default actions

#

role actions they're called

flat hearth
#

ah im glad im not going crazy. i thought it was something you used to be able to do

marble drift
#

yeah you also had to get levels in another class

#

to get certain jobs

flat hearth
#

has that gone as well now?

marble drift
#

yes

flat hearth
#

damn a lot has changed (havent really played since before the first expansion

obsidian patio
#

only the gathering classes have cross-class skills now, but even then it's only for the skills that let you see other class's nodes (you still need to be on the correct class to grab them)

dry ocean
#

Finish free trial then enter the code

#

Lmao- am I doing it rwrong?

flat hearth
#

wouldnt it be better to use the code before hitting 30? i got given 15 free days for hitting 30, but my friend who levelled to 30 using free trial didnt get it when they used their code

marble drift
#

oh thats a fair point crow

#

I can see why you want to

#

get 35 and do all that you can right?

dry ocean
#

Yess exactly

marble drift
#

ok yeah. game codes shouldnt expire

dry ocean
#

I like spending time on the saucer

wintry chasm
#

Tbh not getting the 15 days is a non-issue since you can just make an alt character on another preferred server and get the 15 days and it'd take like, an afternoon

flat hearth
#

ah didnt know you could do it again as the email said it was for the first level 30

dry ocean
#

15days?

wintry chasm
#

You only get the free game time once Zidey

dry ocean
#

Am i missing something

marble drift
#

calisae is talking to zidey

obsidian patio
#

getting to level 30 on a preferred server gets you 15 days of free sub once per account if you have the base game registered

flat hearth
#

ill have to tell my friend to do it again on another server

dry ocean
#

Ohh- then what about the free 30 sub? Does it stack wth that?

obsidian patio
#

yes

dry ocean
#

Niceee

#

Thanksssss

magic light
#

how should rook auto turret be used?

rough lance
#

how do crafter after lvl 15 lvls

#

do levequests?

#

or complete receipe

magic light
#

i'd think levequest

leaden ginkgo
#

i think levequests or beast tribes

#

i play with a friend and right now we can finish Eden 7S by like wednesday, and kinda bored the rest of the week. E8S looks a bit intimidating so we haven't started but other than that, is there other content we can try? Doesn't have to be for gear, something kinda fun or different.

marble drift
#

is it just you two? are you pugging eden savage?

#

or do you have a static?

leaden ginkgo
#

just party finder / pug

marble drift
#

right I can see your hesitation about e8s then.

#

as for other content. Have you cleared the latest EX trial? Memoria Misera? (or however thats spelt)

leaden ginkgo
#

oo i dont think so

marble drift
#

right well get on that. if you're at savage level the gear is pointless but its basically recoloured class gear

#

its also NOT pointless you are certain tanking classes

#

as the helm is Best in Slot.

#

specifically paladin and possibly warrior? dunno about that 2nd one

leaden ginkgo
#

im a healer, but sounds interesting anyways, so we'll give it a try!

#

thanks

jagged rune
#

Do I have to keep re-applying glamour every time I unlock new gear and equip it?

marble drift
#

yes. BUT you can save glamour to plates

#

and just apply the whole plate at a simple press

#

this will require you to put the glamour piece in your glamour dresser (available through inn rooms)

jagged rune
#

Dumb question but what item should I stockpile on to be able to keep overspending on glamour like this

rough lance
#

that's y i didn't glamour at all til lvl 80 =x

marble drift
#

if you want to apply glamours outside of citys you'll just need prisms

twilit arch
#

if you have a particular glamour you want to have on your gear, its best to put them in the dresser and make a plate

#

and just go back to a city to reapply the plate

marble drift
#

also: it retains default dye

#

so if you want to maximize your value with expensive metallic dyes

jagged rune
#

it's free in cities?

if you want to apply glamours outside of citys you'll just need prisms
@marble drift

marble drift
#

apply it to the item FIRST

twilit arch
#

since you're going to end up using a lot of prisms if you're manually glamouring every time you get new gear

marble drift
#

applying plates is free in cities

#

because its the only place they can be appied

#

they require prisms to "set" the plate but after that

#

applying to gear is free

jagged rune
#

this will require you to put the glamour piece in your glamour dresser (available through inn rooms)
so where are these inn rooms

marble drift
#

cities

twilit arch
#

there's an inn room at the major cities, they're indicated by a bed icon

jagged rune
#

thanks guys, ill do that

rough shoal
#

Hey I just heard that I, a PC player with every expansion but no current active sub can get 30 days for free if I link my PS4 account to my PC account, is that true? How would I go about doing it step by step?

hot dock
#

what's best way to find people to teach me how to do extreme shb trials?

marble drift
#

YouTube @hot dock

forest laurel
#

there's lots of guides out there on youtube for shb extremes, mostly by MTQcapture

#

she has guides for pretty much every bit of content in the game excluding ultimates

marble drift
#

^ she's real paitent and covers everything well

#

including diagrams for those that prefer

hot dock
#

what about finding ppl
