I want to work up so I can run dungeons for leveling with them
ah then it doesn't really matter
kk, thx
the other reason you want to be choosy is if you want certain members
like an all lala squad or whatever
but otherwise its pretty irrelevant
kk basically I can just be choosey later and replace people later but first it's probably better to get 8 so this whole thing starts going?
im having a little bit of a crisis choosing what class to really play
how did any of you guys choose your main class?
Buy playing them all and picking what i felt comfortable with
@crimson edge I was leveling a pally, and got to the level where I unlocked red mage, needed a dps so I thought what the hell, tried it and stuck with red mage since
ive been trying to do that and leveling up the class to at least 60 but i haven't found a class that caught my attention yet
I thought vinyl said buy them all
look up videos of the classes
pick up the ones that look cool
Honestly sometimes you just won't know if you truly like a job until you're at level cap
does rested EXP bonus applies on all quests and dungeons?
Rested xp applies on kills
thanks!
is it possible to wear neo ishgardian gear even when im only at Heavensward but already level 80?
Yes
Only requirement is be 80
Though there's no reason to
If you can't access content that has a higher level requirement, then higher level gear is useless
it's okay. probably good for light farming hard dungeon
No
oh you mean you're unsyncing a relic?
Then I guess
that's really niche though
spacebar
Sitting down then jumping puts people in the idle state during Gpose
Or toggling the option that allows people in gpose to repeat their last action
where is that
Open the gpose menu with the autorun button (R by default)
You don't want to turn it off
it was on by default
Wait are you toggling the right thhing?
Then outside of gpose just sit and stand
that's what I did
Grrr im torn between SAM and DRG >.<
I know SAM has freestyle dps which pretty cool and less punishing than DRG but ...
I wouldn't call SAM freestyle
Nothing's really freestyle
Really like DRG ?
I don't recall drg having a strict rotation
Hi guys, talking about SAM, anyone knows how to get Hoshikiri ? 🤷♂️
DRG has a strict rotation.
Quick question
But like
Can you marry someone from another server?
not significantly stricter than any other
No jin
it's just that it has long combos.
Nooooo!!!! My free mount!!
Hi guys, talking about SAM, anyone knows how to get Hoshikiri ? 🤷♂️
Hoshikiri is the samurai relic
Ahem, thanks.
For level 80
So SAM is more relaxing than DRG ?
Uh
no
Uh
Oh erhh and i heard you get it from Eureka right ?
Neither of them are particularly relaxing
sam is one of the strictest rotations
or stressful
Not for me anyway
imo
80 relic isn't eureka
Its from the quest line that starts in kugane afyer doing the lv70 24mans
^
Hmm
Make sure to have done the ivalice raids
Awchhu right, i need to check on the lv70 24mans tysm guys
Oww uh, i need to see that on internet i dont remember exactly what are those ivalice raids
idk
like i just finished Shadowbringers part 1
The ilavice raids start in kugane
In the markets
They the rabanstre, ridorana and Orbonne monstery stuff
Oh okay yeah, they're all done
Then you'll have the relic quest in kugane
Look for blue plus
hail to the queen
Uhm roger that tysm guys teeehee 😭🙌
Back to the samurai thing
Freestyle samurai is a joke
For people who play samurai and don't follow the rotation
Jts just a lot of people play like that
Hence freestyle samurai

learning AST, if I'm the only healer like in a party of four, should I use shield or regen stance? or alternate?
Regen
Diurnal is flat out better
Is a lot easier to get used to
oh alright thanks
Or paired with another astro
Still torn though lol
at the very beginning of a dungeon you can use noct and put a shield on the tank
then switch back to diurnal
ok
Yeah, you can do that inbetween pulls before tank pulls
^
But most the time you are in Diurnal
The regen gives all your skills more healing potency than nocturnal
Hi everyone 🙂. I would like to craft glamour prisms. I finished the submission impossible quest but the neither the vendor in mor d’hona or vesper bay has the recipe books. I can’t figure out what I missing. Can anyone point me in the right direction?
then again SAM has no animation locking and rotation is super easy on SAM
to access eureka you always have to go to Kugane and speak with Rodney or is there also an option in like in the duty finder?
And SAM can ABC on the go
you have to speak with rodney yes
hello, I'm new to the game and would like to know what I'm supposed to spend my wolf marks on, thank you in advance
you spend your wolf marks on glamour
while there's some gear you can buy, they only go up to heavensward, and PvE gear quickly outranks it
so.. just gear for appearence and cosmetics right?
If i buy 2 more fresh accounts, and i use my refer code 2 times, i would have 10 feathers, right?
Yes
yes
cause its almost same price as the moogle mount, but i prefer the red chocobo
you could buy the wedding package if you found another person
i'm already married with someone
unless you plan to party up with people extremely often then I don't see why
Doing some FATES but i know i get gil on the right as a reward but whats the reward on the left? im looking it up and it says its GC coins? what is it used for and how can i see how much i have?
you mean seals?
Could mean XP?...
ya grand company seals it says here
What if i dont have a company? do i just save em up
what lvl are you
What level are you
8
then save them I guess
Hi everyone, I just got an item from a quest that says "sell price : 10k (restricted)", but I can't seem to find on google where to sell it for this price. Merchants only buy it for 300 gils or so. Any idea?
Shop selling price is what vendors sell the item for
^
“Sells for” is what you get for it
oh ok I get it, I thought there was a special someone wanting it for this price
i'm dumb
thanks :p
What's mch good at?
It has the most damage of the physical ranged DPS
and it has pretty high burst with Reassemble+Drill
!action reassemble
!action drill
nothing else? That's it's niche?
and less reliant on rng than dancer
Yeah they have 100% consistency in their rotation
Zero RNG
No RNG at all unlike Bard/Dancer
Everything is under your control
That does sound way nicer
Two side of the same coin
It being consistent might mean it is less exciting for players who are looking for more on the fly handling
Like
Gues stickin to drg
the deciding factor with jobs is usually more their gameplay flow
/\
As the differences in actual party functionality aren't huge
What do I do if someone hacked my account?
Final Steps of Faith was nice, but given it was a pug, there was no coordination between healers. From two AST picking the same stance, to wasting surecast on unneeded res. How do people normally coordinate heals in a full party?
Seems like you have the big picture.
well, I do see the need for coordination :D
look at which stance they picked?
but how do people solve it, voice chat?
and pick the opposite?
They coordinate by not being bad healers
stance's easy, wasted surecast is worse :D
There is also a chance that the AST couldn't swap
I probably do, yeah. :D
AST can't swap stance when they are in combat
You can have a macro to communicate who you're rezzing if need be
@hallow hatch contact SE support through the mogstation if possible
but it's not gonna be a huge deal in duty finder content
probably not; I'm asking what people normally do for full party - just voice, or is there something else that can be used here?
@obsidian patio I dont have access to my account
Not in duty finder.
they pay attention
Healer with regen drop the slow and potent healing and let everyone slowly gain back their HP
Static groups use voice comms.
Healer with shield will put up shield when a big one is coming
Try changing your password through the “forgot my password” option
But the problem in your case sounds like just players not paying attention
well, given that I can't change stance, if tank rushes ahead I just won't have time to do it :D
just pick a stance after combat starts then
for res, well, swiftcast is instant, so you can burn it easily anyway :)
it's duty finder content
if it matter that much to you
I feel like we're focusing on the wrong bit here :DDD
if a mistake happens, oh well.
if you wasted a swiftcast because the other healer rezzed then you'll eventually get the swiftcast back
assuming no one immediately dies
I was just curious whether there's some in-game way to coordinate this. Looks like there isn't, short of a macro. That's it, thank you :)
You want to know how people coordinate, our answer is "for most cases, it comes from paying attention and be competent. At higher level of play, they voice chat"
^
FWIW, that pug also had tanks without tanking stance on :D
You can type in the chat window yaknow
so it was a clown fiesta anyway :D
¯_(ツ)_/¯
that's a first.
you get some bad pugs
yeah, not terribly worried for this one, no
Which 3 crafting souls are your preference?
I was thinking going: BSM, WVR but unsure on last one between GSM, LTW, CRP

The only current specialist-only recipes are Ruby Barding and Furniture, the special-effect Shinryu glamour weapons, and one orchestrion roll.
In other words, apart from your already-chosen BSM, only Armourer, carpenter, goldsmith and alchemist currently have them.
The only other real purpose is to get the slight stat boost to the crafter that has the soul equipped.
You can change up to three specialists in a week, which is more often than you'll realistically need to.
In short
it doesn't really matter that much.
@obsidian patio I think they changed my email address cause I'm not getting an email
I guess im moreso interested in which do i want to give a stat-boost to
hello new here and need some help, about not being able to download the patch for shadowbringers and I just bought it too 😭
Check if you need to update internet explorer
The launcher uses that to download patches
Some European-based players have been reporting troubles with the launcher today
@hallow hatch try following this https://support.na.square-enix.com/faqarticle.php?id=5382&kid=68228
For DPS doing Trusts, what Setup of NPC's should i go?
They’re all pretty equal, but if you want to use the LB don’t pick Alisaie.
Because she’ll use it pretty much the instant it’s available.
Anyone got any advice or resources for what to do after hitting level 80 and finishing the msq? I searched around for some guides but the ones I found seemed out of date.
!faq contentunlock
the raids?
!faq gearguide
@remote lintel sort of. Not sure what stuff to do first
@obsidian patio the launcher is updated but i still can't get past 48mb before the error shows up
Do the ishgard restoration if you have access to that.
@obsidian patio talking to me?
Yes.
Iron ingots would probably be your best bet. The vendor at the guild should have iron ore to buy
i can make them but for some reason he doesnt have any ores to sell
Did you talk to both vendors? They’re a bit split on materials
@obsidian patio honestly i just now relised that there were 2 lol thanks he had em
New player here. Anyone here can help or guide me in game of what to do?
Free trial tho. 😅
!faq newplayertips
This has a lot of general tips and info about the game
how do you know which world is preferred?
It will say when you create your character.
When is the best time to sell food and potions?
If it is raid type stuffs, the beginning of the new patch when it it at it's highest.
Otherwise, just whenever. Raid food and potions are always needed. Crafter and gatherer too. All else are very limited in buying since it always gives the 30 minute EXP buff
That is a question for endgame discussion.
But the short of it, hard to very hard depending on previous experience.
its actually not super challenging since all the mechanics are visible via the cast bar
and the enmity list
only fortius may serve a bit confusing
Hi I'm looking to find the track name used in this quest https://youtu.be/r0Qh3TA9Qvw?t=96
FFXIV Unlock Aether Current - Words Are Very Unnecessary - Stormblood
Aether Current Locations The Azim Steppe https://youtu.be/0SPR2LeXvWo
📌 PLAYLIST The Azim Steppe Sidequests: https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLHvDMLVx54gpcfr1-sUwPQLYJgWCbBtfj
#FF14 #FFXIV #Okamoza
It's a song from 1.0 called Supply and Demand, it's on the Before Meteor OST
There doesn't appear to be an orchestrion roll for it
Is the quest, "A Home in the Firmament" a prereq for anything or is it just a useless optional quest?
At the end of that line of quests you get an achievement, I think that's all
it could conceivably become a prereq for later Ishgardian Restoration stuff
is there a carpenters power leveling guide that tells u everything to buy and what to craft for leves and such?
I'm pretty sure there's a few Teamcraft lists that might be helpfull for this. If there's a spreadsheet I am not sure, but their discord might have one
can you unsync battle on the bridge and have it count
Will Innocence Normal Snyc me down to 79
Unsyncing never affects quest progress
it does not @midnight slate
Good
when I go to adjust the HUD, the menu just doesnt appear. Has anyone seen this or know how to fix it? On PS4
I can find some of the options with the directional buttons and click them
What's a good way to get Titanium Ore, need the nuggets. No, i don't have the beast tribe up.
Am I just relying on luck? Cause 5:1 ratio kinda sucks
You have that ability that massively increases HQ chances
How to I get a aetheryte earring?
You cannot, it was a preorder for Shadowbringers item
Oh ok
where do i go if I am lfg?
@restive maple here, or in game? In game there's the Duty Finder and Party finders. Both can be found in the menue list (line of orange buttons, on the lower right if the screen unless you move it)
I'd give a picture, but not sure how I'd find one easily and not online atm xp

If your not max level yet though, you probably don't need the party finder
As basically all leveling content can be done through the duty finder
what would be a basic rotation for a thm at level 30?
!faq blmleveling
ty
At lvl 30, you should focus on upgrading THM into a BLM
I actually came by to ask, what would be the best way to keep a tanks gear up to date? I'm levelling DRK, except im having gear troubles. I'm level 42 and much of my gear is falling behind. Mostly accessories. I can't make my own gear and am not in a FC to ask. I have trouble keeping my health up in Stone Vigil, even.
Is my best option to buy? Because gear is awfully pricey.
You can get gear from lower level dungeons
Or your GC
At 50, you can just hop onto Ironworks
You shouldn't really have an issue, tho, not as long as you continually use the gear from MSQ
definitely didnt forget GCs existed
Oh wait
Don't worry about accessories until 50, they're not more than at most 6 stat points at that level
Unless you mean as an alternative job
Your accessories don't contribute much to your bulk pre lvl 50
I've been wondering, as a high-level if I see a low-level fighting out in the wild is it safe to help them kill their target by 1-shotting it or am i stealing/preventing credit or something?
GC gear
So just spend poetics on augmented ironworks
The only thing is that they dont get EXP I think
They do
Is that only in party then?
That's exactly how people cheese BLU leveling
Hello, what is the fastest way to get more Scrips for the Crafter and Gatherer stuff from Idyllshire? Or should i just save the scrips I gather for lvl 70~80?
Assuming I understand right, yes it's only in party that the exp gain would be less due to a level difference @tacit ruin - it's for this reason that when power leveling a blue mage the blue mage can't be in the party of the people killing things
have they announced when the next live letter is going to be?
Soon
what do each of the icons mean?
i can understand the one with the star
but what about the "i" or the yellow ones
or yellow ones with an i
is POTD still a fast way to level?
gotcha but i'd miss out on all the main quests right?
gotcha ty
its good for the 1-61 range
but mind-numbing since you have to commit to repeated rounds
you're better off doing levequests for leveling crafters/gatherers if you can
up to 60 is okay now
here's a decent numbers chart on how much exp you get
at lv59 its still like 20% exp
of your entire exp bar
you need about 3.8mil exp to get from 59-60
and each run is about 800k
I'm level 55. Is there a CP amount I want to be aiming for before I start socketing for control/craftsmanship?
Please don't respond with "It's not worth it."
you can check the pins in #doh-dol-lounge for crafting rotations at your level and see what minimum stats you need
post mortem and teh crafting people did a great job on those
Hello, how can I advance in the Grand Company rank? The administrator said that they don't have any more promotion for me?
And I'm only Second Storm Lieutenant.
Gotta do the squadrons
I see. Thanks.
They can be a pain but if you tough through it you can get up to the Captain rank
Haven't done a single one of those so I really don't know if it is any worth the time or effort.
once you get rank 2 squadrons you can run dungeons with them
its like a shitty version of trusts
it works
That was a nightmare for me in all honesty

I took the slow route of just sending them on missions which is the equivalent of retainer ventures
I see. I guess I'll give it a go or two, eh? Maybe in a tad bit, I shall?
Does doing the Ishgardian restoration crafting missions level my crafter job fast?
also when should i watch the Stormblood trailer so I won't get spoiled? AFter or before the Dragonsong?
Need to meld lots of materia for my gear, still weaver level 30
also when should i watch the Stormblood trailer so I won't get spoiled? AFter or before the Dragonsong?
@wind kindle I’ll watch it for you now and determine if it has spoilers, a moment
Id say go after watch it after you clear the dungeon Baelsars Wall
@mossy tartan , wow thanks. really appreciate it.
I haven't been there yet...
cause im really cautious.i value the story really well
It's the last main story dungeon of heavensward
Okay, finished it - the trailer itself covers a brief outline of stormblood, that’s all I could discern
^^
uynderstood
if you consider that a spoiler
That would be best since that was around the time we got the trailer
don’t know if it works for you, but I always prefer to watch an expansion’s trailer only after I finished its story, somehow I like it this way
Does the main scenario skips get cheaper if you have the previous one? Like if I buy the AAR one and want the heavenward one a week later
Nope
nope
UNderstood. Thank you for all you're outputs.
Cause the heavensward one comes with arr skip built into it...
im enjoying a lot of the games content that isn't story but just wasn't sure if heavensward would be more enjoyable
Heavensward story is majestic and tragic, to say the least
It’s bitter sweet and I assure you, you will like it
Heavensward and the lead up into it is really when the stiry starts picking up
But is that only because of the previous ARR story or standalone?
Each expansion builds on the previous story
The only story in this game that's "standalone" is the 1.0 story and even ARR builds off that to a certain extent
Well, technically not standalone but the events of 1.0 are more lore than they are part of the current story
So I noticed in the #doh-dol-lounge , there weren't sockets(melds) for +control
is it because +craftsmanship helps with scrips or something?
this bit tbh
okay
it factors in the fact that you'll be on a budget
if you're struggling you can play around with it yourself
I'll try out one of the rotations on there. Idk if it'll get me HQ with no HQ mats but NQ is better than some of the jewelry I got now
Oh
I got quite a bit of money imo, i've been selling quite well on the marketplace
but I'm hesitant to buy stuff because I like to make it myself, and I don't like giving other people my money

figure out what you need and you can pump a bit of materia into that
Ye
but leveling you outpace that gear so quick i don't really think its worth the effort of applying the melds
There is literally
zero effort
Open menu, meld
No effort
and I'm tired of carrying around a level 43 secondary for some of my crafters
Hello, I need some output. How significant is DNC's DPS Output late-game? or how significant is a DNC in general?
so their DPS output late-game is not really that significant?
I see. I just want to keep on maining a class that will actually contribute overall significantly
!faq meta
Whether a job is contributing relies more on you playing well
This is how close the jobs are in terms of balance
That's why we always recommend play what you feel is cool
I see. I mean I can easily do rotations, like in SAM, I've been playing it awhile and I'm confident enough that I could actually say that I'm decent with the rotation and with RDM, too.
Or what you enjoy
I'm just asking 'cause I got flamed earlier in a dungeon. Apparently I was not "delivering maximum potential" output of the class.
on SAM?
DNC's rotation is actually fairly easy. I was flamed when I was on GNB. He/she said that I wasn't doing the maximum damage that a GNB can do.
anyway, Cast Light is for people who dont have sound on. This is before the !!! exists so its hard to tell if you hit a fish
What are the 2 possible attacks from the mirrors that ||eden shiva|| can do? I only would like to know the safe spots. For all I know she has a safe zone in her hit box for the first attack (scythe kick) while the other attack would be to move to the edges. What happens when the mirrors use either?
Anyways, thank you all.
I meant the 4 mirrors part
Does she have a long wind up time on either skills? Don’t think I can discern fast enough which one is which and then move away
So should I stay in the zone between her and the edges to give myself an upper edge?
To react fast enough, I mean
Okay, great
thank you!
noted
A small handful of AOE are channel attack
That deals damage over time
But what was said is true, the VFX are no good indication of whether you get hit or not

Once the cast finish, it is already determined, if you know for sure you are safe, you can even walk back in
Btw, the player's hitbox is a very small dot
oooo
glad to know I have my kindred here
Once the cast finish, it is already determined, if you know for sure you are safe, you can even walk back in
@warped nest interesting, thank you! Just learned this one
This is for 1 hit AOE
For channel AOE it is a different thing
Just want to be clear on this topic
Looking back to to malikah’s well’s last boss, it kind of seemed intuitive about knowing that when the AoE marker is gone, it damages whoever was outside it, before the animation actually happens, I’m surprised it passed by me : (
Yep
Like the adds in the steppe dungeon? (2nd boss)
And innocence?
oh wait, I think innocence’s one is different, my bad
my first alliance raid will be within a couple of hours, I’m nervous : D
Basically continuous donuts aoe
Sometimes comes in the variation of a slice of a full circle
Wiping city spooder is the same basic idea (staggered donut aoe going outwards from a point), inno just adds safe zones
Copied factory 2nd boss is also donuts but from outside to middle
Segmented in all variations used
Tank fight after 2nd shows on ground almost at same time but is time delayed
wish you were on my DC i'd invite you to play but alas
@unique oasis ahh you’re too kind : )
The alliance raid is called “the royal city of rabanastre” any advice for a healer before going in?
there are some mechanics you can mess up but it'll be fine regardless
in general, remember that the alliance sometimes has to split 3 ways to each handle a mechanic as their own group. by convention, A should go on the left side of the arena and C should go on the right, while B goes in the middle
Got it, thank you!
When in doubt just follow your tank
does anyone know if there's any kinda of website out there to check item prices on the market boards faster?
There's mogboard but I don't know if it's functional
Well I just unlock duties?dungeon? Recently and it’s taking long to start up. I’m assuming like overwatch everyone wants to play dps?
^yes lol
If you're a DPS, queues will be long, yes
I should work on my tank/support then to get queue faster thnxs
Jebus the moment I switch to support I got in right away....
also i just checked out mogboard and they havent been updated since July 2019 
mogboard is no longer functional
universalis is teh next best thing we got
but its player updated so not always the most accurate
Yeah, I heard something about an API change, but couldn't remember
ooo i'll have a look, thank you 😄
ah yeah... its... also not really updated hahahahah
dang it
is there a way to turn off reccuring payment
How do I change my settings so it stops locking onto allies
Does anyone know if you have two of same tank classes in one group, does it matter
Was it necessary to log-in on the PS4 version during the sale the other day to actually get the Starter Edition added to your account or did you just have to add the right thing to your PSN account?
Makes no difference at all @dim veldt
Hey I have a kind of odd question, in-game right now my game seems to be locked to chatting, IE whenever I press any key/number it starts typing in game instead of using the hotkey, regardless of if I hit enter/escape to close the chat text thing, this has never happened before, relogging didn't fix it so I think I must have accidently hit a setting somewhere
Do you have a controller connected? @quasi hollow
Not at the moment
Well, there goes my assumption for what caused it.
yeah its super super weird, like I was alt-tabbed for a little while and came back and even closing/reopening the game
(On PS4 it does that by default so I thought it was just a side effect of it being auto-swapped to controller mode)
So I did some fast googling and it seems i might have turned on something called "Direct Chat" I just need to find where in the options it is now lol
Found it and thats what happened yeah
Is there chance enhancing in this mmo?
What would chance enhancing be? Tldr
Like in other mmo mostly KR you would get mats and smash it on your gear to upg to +1

As you progress the chance decreases
Some particular relics have that, and overmelding works kinda like that, but in general no
Oh, closest to that would be overmelding.
Only the materia is lost
And just in general none of those toxic kmmo mechanics
If you fail you just lose the materia you were trying to put in.
Then your spend irl to buy gem that disable blowing up if fail
No way
None of that
No pay to win here
Oh good I have terrible rng and don’t wanna prem cash shop good to keep my equip safe and on par w/ meta
(Class level skips should require you reach the appropriate level with that class on at least one character.)
Not in a million years will you see that bs
The cash shop is only fashion, mounts, minions and other aesthetica
That’s even better.
Is it possible to lose reputation with the beast tribes?
No
It is not
Thnx guys
Don't forget the auto-suck books Platt.
The cash shop also has hardly anything on it
@wary forge someone buying a job skip has little bearing on how competent a player they are. Please don’t spread that stuff, especially in this channel
(I ran into a PLD who didn't even know how to turn on tank stance in Baelsar's Wall the other day)
Now just unlocked Life of the Dragon and Nastford (w/e it called)
Players who want to learn will learn just fine without the leveling process, which doesn’t necessarily teach you how to be good anyway. Conversely, someone who doesn’t care about improving themselves probably won’t be aided by the leveling process.
People who refuse to improve will find just pressing two buttons tedious
People who want to learn will watch 3 video guides just to make sure they don't miss a thing
Do you get anything worthwhile from the coils of Bahamut?
You get some cool weapons
poetics
Like item rewards? No, but the story is major
And materials to make cool gears
Btw how does tanking work on duty finder? I just did a run and our tank kept leaving.
Ability to unlock the super-hard version from Stormblood.
If you like dragon themed armors, you can get stuff from coil to make them
For what classes are the weapons?
Where can I get skybuilders’ hemp? I’m a level 17 botanist at the moment
@primal relic tanks queue up like anyone else... not sure what you mean?
For what classes are the weapons?
@rare karma all except Dancer and Gunbreaker
No, like in duty play? If that makes sense
Oof ok
????
Duty finder just put you into dungeon
@mossy tartan Use the duty action on some plant monsters and you'll get some at some point.
Same as everywhere else, gather mobs, make sure people can hit whatever positionals they need to hit
Do you automatically get aggro? Or do you toggle a skill? Cuz our tank would leave to fight other mobs.
No, like in duty play? If that makes sense
@primal relic sometimes players leave when they dislike a certain dungeon, that could be the reason why they leave
For tanking with random party members, you just grab what you and your healer can handle
!item skybuilder's hemp
And make sure your DPS uses AOE if they have them
@mossy tartan Use the duty action on some plant monsters and you'll get some at some point.
@wary forge plant monsters?
And the mob wouldn’t follow him and attack me.
Enter the diadem for he skybuilder's materials
Then he wasn't using tank stance and lost aggro
Or was not AoEing possibly
Did you regen the tank before they pull?
Since a dead support is no support.
Or that. Most likely he messed up either way
If the mob chases you, run to your tank
Everyone was topped off
Tank definitely wasn't in stance.
Sounds like the tank wasn’t using their tank stance yeah.
He just left during pirate cabin and fought a separate mob bunch on his own
Were they new?
Were they level synced?

Yes
What's the dungeon?
Did he have one of those
I was busy healing our tanking pugilist to notice
Pirate cabin makes me assume sastasha.
Sounds like Sastasha.
Since they started arguing
Probably a casher that bought the level skip but not the story skip.
About him not tanking properly
Well he ended up dying and the party was telling me not to res.
You were just grouped with a dummy.
Well I gave him benefit of doubt, and raised. But made me curious is tanking play difficult in duty?
Which class were they?
Some axe class
!action defiance
Definitely wasn't using that
He would run in atk mobs kill some leave the rest to us and attack another bunch on his own.
He was using that sometimes
He turned it on and off a lot?
Like the mob wouldn’t follow him and after he left they would aggro me
Tanking is easy. Your tank was just either brand new and clueless, or just an idiot and clueless.
Some people seem to treat it as a cooldown
Tanking is arguably the easiest job.
If he was in tank stance and properly pulling the groups with him that's normal. In my experience it's the healer's comfort that matters on whether or not you do big pulls.
You had bad luck with a tank, it will happen more and it sucks
I have tried dps/healer so it got me nervous for tank believing it might be really hard lol
It's really a non-argument to decide what's easier, different people click with different things
I have done multiple pull. This one tank was doing amazing
Healer is definitely best on a controller due to the ease of targeting allies with a controller.
That is entirely subjective Onyx.
I just click on names from party list.
Since I tend to check hp/status and switch between my tank target and his hp
Up/down on d-pad to cycle allies.
I can play it all on a controller
None of the jobs are handicapped by controller or keyboard/mouse
guys i just got my game complete edition but it's from uk so do i have to make an uk square enix ac im from asia
Not UK
You need to make a EU mogstation account
Just “Europe and Other Regions”
UK, EU, same thing really.
That’s exactly what it is
However I know that some areas in SEA get retailed NA copies of the game
I assume so
It is, now and forever@unique oasis
However I know that some areas in SEA get retailed NA copies of the game
@jade quartz video games is messy here in regards to game region
I think we can get NA, but sometimes Asia-English
The patch is adapted for the Korean and Chinese versions after it is released elsewhere
there used to be a SEA version but it was discontinued and absorbed by the NA version
Do the turns on binding coil of bahamut each give different rewards? Or do they all give the same?
Management is outsourced to Korean- and Chinese-based teams
Oh ok how do I unlock 6-9 and 10-13
Each tier has the same iLVL, each section has different slots.
You can't choose Korean server
That’s what most serious Korean players do as I understand.
Finish the first "Wing" and you can unlock the second one.
Ok makes sense
guys i have two keys one is game key and one is like square enix memebers product registration key
Make sure you go back to Mor Dhona to do the quest line and it should unlock 6-9 and 10-13 for you
Square Enix store is not mogstation
Different topic how do I see the percentage of health for a boss or enemy is it a setting or is it only for certain enemies
Where is it if you don’t mind explaining? I couldn’t find it earlier so I thought it was the latter
Google this?
Character Configuration -> UI Settings -> HUD -> Display target's remaining HP percentage.
I feel that this is a Google away
are aetherpool grips from potd only awarded for completing floor 50? so if i start at 51 i won't get more?
No
Found it thanks
Grips are from you converting your aetherpool strength
Grips
You can always get more aetherpool from potd
i remember getting one for completing floor 50 months ago but i threw it away lol
Tokens which are then exchanged for weapons
padjali
???
Grips comes from you spending your aetherpool. Aetherpool can be recollected by doing more potd.
Take note that aetherpool is capped at 99, but you cannot farm low number floors to hit the maximum 99
The old mechanism was changed to introduce the grips
Now instead of having to lose a whole 30 or 60 aetherpool stat at once and weaken your strength inside PotD
You can just spend 10 at a time
And save up the grip tokens in your inventory
OK, so 10/10 per grip
Are patch changes massive or minor changes?
Depending on their decimals
Err
Depends on the patch
And what kind of changes you’re talking about
What they call “hotfixes” are actually server downtime
True hotfixes in this game are rare
oh okay thanks @warped nest
Point one, point two etc are the really big one
Point one five, or point whatever five are usually a medium size stuff
It will balance jobs
Or if it’s minuscule bug fixes
Usually they prefer to buff weaker jobs
Stronger jobs are only nerfed if it’s extreme
When does 5.3 come out anyway
5.3 will include significant new content
If it was delayed by a month then
July?
It is not minor bugfixes.
It won't be a new job
Maybe he’s tired
What I meant was, no matter the changes, it won't be like getting a new job
The biggest change we had so far within expansion, is Ninja
No need to get snippy
Class changes are generally in X.0s
Haven’t we gotten a job in patches before?
Only Ninja and Blue Mage
Sometimes in X.55s (AKA pre-expansion patch)
Isn’t Ninja just a lvl 30 upgrade
It is Rogue + Ninja
Oh I thought it was added with 2.0
Nope
2.4
2.4?
I see
Ye
but it was intended to be release in 2.0
This is also why you can't start a new character as Rogue
At this point that's more because they're too lazy to fix the character creation options than because it wasn't in 2.0.
Job adjustments within expansion are only done to keep it inline. Summoner almost always get changes to 2-3 ability to tune the playstyle
But nothing significant to convert your current job into something you don't recognize
When you say changes
Like nerfs and buffs
Do they ever straight up remove skills
They adjusted skill's function and behavior
Shadowflare
generally the only time they remove skills is during expansion release
not in patches after it
Full reworks are always in .55 or .0 patches.
I still don’t know what Heavy thrust was
I don't think I have seen full reworks in. 55
!action Heavy Thrust
Also wtf was Blood4Blood
Pretty sure it was 3.55 that released the change from cross-class to role actions.
Delivers an attack with a potency of 150.
190 when executed from a target's flank.
Additional Effect: Increases damage dealt by 10%
Duration: 30s
!action dismemberment
Uh
Wait
no role actions were 4.0
Blood 4 Blood is increases the damage you deal and the damage you take
^
Ew glad that’s gone
It is just increased damage now
!action disembowl
That's heavy thrust
Huh, thought it was the pre-patch. Oh well.
Where can I find level 20 mature trees?
Check your gathering log. It'll tell you @mossy tartan
So heavy thrust was just disembowel but minus the damage buff and I had to use postsitonals
Man I picked the best time to play Dragoon
Dragoon now feels so good
It is clear that after a few expansion, smaller buff that should be up at all time should be included in your natural combo,
Furthermore, in between expansion, the devs tries to reduce button bloat with jobs
Should I use medica II —> assize —-> afflatus rapture to top a raid off after a big AoE? Or should I use medica instead of rapture to save lilies for later?
it depends, do you need everyone immediately topped off?
Medica II is "I need to heal a lot but I don't mind letting it happen slowly over time"
if not, then just use med2 and let the regen work
if you do, afflatus rapture+assize is generally enough
okay
Medica, Rapture, or Cure III is "I need to heal a whole lot and I need to do them right now"
I’m still having a hard time in timing my plenary indulgence, is it best used for continuous AoE blasts as well?
Just think of it as a buff to your Medica
Yeah so SE said release is Mid June
But it could be an extra 2 weeks they don’t know
Medica, Rapture, or Cure III is "I need to heal a whole lot and I need to do them right now"
@warped nest I don’t get to use Cure III a lot except on mark-up mechanics, the raid is too far most of the time
I am just including it to be inclusive :D
What the... My discord just move me back 15 minutes
plenary is used as a buff to your aoeing. so if you need everyone topped off immediately
!action Plenary Indulgence
Grants Confession to self and nearby party members.
Upon receiving HP recovery via Medica, Medica II, Cure III, or Afflatus Rapture cast by self, Confession triggers an additional healing effect.
Cure Potency: 200
Duration: 10s
its good to use in conjunction with your aoe heals
a good place to use plenary is ultima in orbonne, her phase change
It helped me a lot vs Innocence’s continuous AoE blasts pre-transformation phase, I loved the spell
that phase change is also a good place for cure 3
Do retainers have expiration?
I see, thank you both for the invaluable tips!
Good Morning - any news on the Launcher Problem thing ?
How much is a Retainer?
Your first two are free
2/ month per
Is the Firmament aetherite ticket permanent or do i have to keep buying it ?
after the first 2
Uh I'm trying to upgrade my free trial account to the complete version i have the code but it only shows an error when i try to click continue
They're one time use items @solid fog
Hmm why is my inner self screaming to main sam to 80
so if you want to repeatedly teleport to the firmament with them, you're going to need a stack
.<
@twilit arch OH i see. not worth it then
yeah
If you have nothing better to spend on...
There's always materia to spend
Or buy the glam and sell them 
There's always something better than the overpriced, consumable tickets.
It is just a matter of cutoff point, but I digress
(The things are priced at a point that makes you think they're re-usable but aren't. Especially the grand company ones that require the maximum rank to buy AND are like half of your cap at the second highest level to buy.)
It's only accessible from the aetheryte itself and it's separate from the aethernet submenu.
When is the next liveletter

I still can’t find skybuilders’ hemp even though my weaver is 28 and botanist is 20
the stage 1 stuff is no longer in game
also no point in crafting the stage 1 tuff either
go gather in diadem
Ok, the 2nd stage says I need to get an approved grade 2 skybuilders’ hemp
In order to craft the grade 2 rope
^ that’s the 2nd restoration phase
yes, which you gather grade 2 stuff in diadem, then talk to the npc near the one who lets you enter diadem
he will approve items in a stack of 10
Where can find the place?
perfect, thank you
Wow. A day and half later and it still shows this, is it domething on my end cuz anything else works just fine
Gonna give SAM a go since brought SAM 70 weapon and upgrade some gear
what skills shud i be using on arcanist while lvling
@alpine fossil maintains your bio and Miasma, then use your ruin
@alpine fossil all of them except Physick
Use your pet attacks too
theres no way to choose which pet model is summoned after its replaced is there?
like trying to get the carbuncle back instead of titan egi
LF FC on Excalibur
@warped nest thx
You have access to who glamours once you hit lv50 on summoner
Lets you glamour over the egis into carbuncles if you wish
hmm so I'm creating my character using eu because it is cheaper. if i register mogstation in SEA region would i be banned?
don't wanna fake my address but .....
it's EU and other regions so you're fine
as long as you're not in Korea or China you should be fine
ah yea not there
yeah you should be good for global servers then
don't think i can make an account in korea because they need the id number
hahaha
yea played quite abit in free trial
for 1/2 year
almost
most my char is lv 30 with exception of tank and crafting
cause......
crafting is soooo boriung
I have 2 “grade 2 skybuilders’ rope” in my bag, but I can’t turn them in to the collectible appraiser?
multiples of 10
is the problem with logging in from europe still not fixed?
when turning in certain collectibles. can i only turn them in to certain locations
or do they have some sort of weekly reset thing
where i can turn them in one week but not the other?
/timers
has a full list of everything that resets
Rowena and GCs reset midday instead of at daily reset
the only things that are specific to a location are custom deliveries and restoration collectables
Im guessing you can only get one Savage book per week? i.e one Book of Fulmination?
well...
im looking at this website https://www.ffxivclock.com/#/
An in game Clock and Alerts for Final Fantasy XIV World, Eorzea. Helps with gathering nodes for fishing, botany, mining and other game events.
and im trying to figure out why abalathian rock salt cannot be turned in to the collectable appraiser
Will ||eden shiva’s|| twin attack always attack the group first, then the tank?
is it being requested?

house of splendors requests rotate every day
well is there a way for me to know what gets rotated in and what gets rotated out?
no way to predict when an item will be requested
fuq
They will be pulled from a known pool
the timers menu shows when request is going to change
you can also view what's being requested for the day from it
so always check what items are being requested before you go and gather or craft
i mostly do gathering
Hiya, I'm trying to register an account for ffxiv, but the loadstone, mog-station and the free trial page are constantly disconnecting or failing to load.
EU?
There is some sort of connection problem in parts of the EU. Not sure what the problem is exactly but I know before when something similar happened it was because some internet node thintymajig broke between the regions and the SE servers so yeah
Might be that
@leaden ginkgo, yes, 1 savage book per floor of the current tier, until it's unlocked a couple weeks before the next tier
Hmm, thanks Calisae, I guess I should just wait a day or two and try again then?
maybe?
Could try to get around with a VPN too probably
just make sure you select the right country and stuff on the account details
I actually live in the ME, so regardless, my IP will be out of EU after the registration.
so if youre unlucky it can literally take half a year to actually ger proper pieces
Hello everyone! How does one add "class flairs" on reddit ffxiv?
New reddit, desktop version
you can select flairs from a submenu
ah, I don't think picture flairs work on new reddit. I might be mistakened
? But I see plenty of people with their ":healer2:" icons just next to their names...
I might be using the wrong terminology, sorry, Reddit is a mystery to me 😄
Emphasis on why I might be mistakened. There should be a submenu next to your name on the right side which allows you to select flairs
new reddit has stripped a lot of features away unfortunately
for the sake of modern social media uniformity
so i bought FFXIV on steam, if i purchase the Shadowbringers DLC i get all the other one included right? or can you redeem a steam key for a specific DLC
shadowbringers comes with previous expansions, yes
Starter Edition + Shadowbringers = you have everything.
The other expansions are no longer separately retailed
so i can't redeem a key for heavensword for example? i have to buy shadowbringers
i would be very surprised if you could find a digital code for heavensward at this point
Some retail copies of Heavensward could potentially still exist in the world
unless you got it during the time they were giving it away free before shb reelase
They would be a waste of your money
i'm just asking
Didn't each expansion cost as much as every single one combined does right now?
so official ones don't have them, hmm i think i know where to find them 🙂
Yeah, it was 40 bucks for Heavensward+Stormblood as well :P
...????
There's pretty much no point in not getting them all.
Why are...
realistically there is no reason to buy heavensward specifically
shadowbringers gives you the previous two expansions, so you'd just end up paying more for no real good reason
Also codes from non-official sites are
yes there is none,but its good to know if you are capable to do it or not
@dusky nebula It is possible but through sites that aren't officially supported in any way.
any heavensward or stormblood codes are either old or going to be from shady sites
Very often paths to getting your account banned
so its not recommend at all to buy those
Because these codes are traced.
well i just bought the starter edition for now, lets see how the game is first
Just want to put in a reminder that, yes, you will save money if you buy just HW from 3rd party... But it is not worth it no matter how you see it
Do mounts have different speed?
Buying from 3rd party sites is like having a blind man shoot at you. Yes, the chances are he'll miss but why take the risk?
SDS fenrir comes with the first tier of movement speed automatically, whether you've gotten that yet or not. However once you've earned that (which comes mostly from the main scenario quest), its the same movement speed as all other mounts @primal relic
Idk I’m currently at priest kidnapping. Feels very slow I gotta run back and forth
Larger mounts may feel slower because you’re higher off the ground
But the actual speed is identical.
I don’t even have a mount. So I’ve been just walking from area to area using sprint when it’s off CD
!faq mount
