Opposed to next attack
Again, no definitive answer cause crit is all RNG and people dont like grinding out crit percentages
Who "crit more" is by and large a terrible metric to gauge if a class is better anyways
if we based it on consistency and frequency of them, WAR would therefore be the most consistent
but since crit =/= most damage (because of RNG) we know that's incorrect
Nm dw im just torn mch or dtg still

you say carpal tunnel can be a hindrance to your gameplay
so i'd suggest against machinist
!action hypercharge
!action heatblast
Delivers an attack with a potency of 220.
Additional Effect: Reduces the recast time of both Gauss Round and Ricochet by 15s
Can only be executed when firearm is Overheated.
Recast timer cannot be affected by status effects or gear attributes.
!action gauss round
!action ricochet
you have to weave a lot during hypercharge windows
fitting a gauss round or ricochet in between every heat blast
5 heat blasts in 6 seconds is what you're aiming for in every window
Nm i give uo csnt find singke damn class :( never gonba able to finish the expansion
Can you play on controller?
said they can't afford it
WHM had a low APM, what about that?
they don't like casters
they say that people complain when they click skills for drg and they don't want sam 
So how do I approach the Firmament restoration effort? When going in the diadem, all items seem to be sort of randomized, should I just be gathering everything I can and level all my crafters across the board at once?
Dancer doesn't have many buttons
Is there a way to put up all of the notes of the bard performance feature on my hotbars? instead of the keyboard UI on screen
No possible way to be like this?
no idea what that is
Basically the notes up to 3 octaves
in the keyboard UI you have to press either Ctrl for a lower octave, or shift for higher one
I want a whole octave in a hotbar to reduce the buttons needed to press
don't know about that
ok
i dont think you can macro performance note by note to do this
You used to be able to do that, but people made macros to autoplay so they removed it
Ohhh
but i think you can use a software to map it for you
It’s annoying to press ctrl / shift to play in a higher octave : /
That is against ToS however
As it's a program which makes button presses for you
Or rather, it traslates a MIDI file which then makes button presses for you
Question - is it possible to connect a MIDI keyboard and play through the game?
can be a simple autohotkey file that translate a F1 input into shift + 1 for example
not natively
63 votes and 22 comments so far on Reddit
wow, thank you so much
There is a reason why /r/ffxivperformances is just riddled with MIDI requests
Also a person who made one of the MIDI translators got hit by a cease and desist for the software, so he took it down
So saying that bard macro players are legal is a lie and false information
this is straight midi keyboard to keyboard button press
Yes MIDI keybord is fine
if you use a midi player, thats a whole different story yup
Automated software is not
However, it's pretty fun meme to ask someone about it and they all say they are using a MIDI keybaord, when asked which one for some reason 87% have the first google result

Also, even if you are using a MIDI keyboard you are still restricted to what the game allows you to do
Like you can not make full chords and you only can press one note at a time
fair enough
Like having a MIDI keyboard won't change that
Just want to use the keyboard for the comfort of freely sliding across the three octaves without pressing something
And it feels more natural as well (used to the layout and spacing compared to the actual PC keyboard)
Yea. I still find for the black keys with my fingers so i inow what key im pressing.
Before anything else I need to say I never played any mmo besides ffxiv so
How much is the dps influenced by using mouse and command bar instead of the shortcuts?
I wonder how I could improve my dps (of course I do my rotation but its not enough)
If you can do it with mouse clicking :+1:
If you cant, you're still gonna be okay for the easy contents but savage/ultimate would be tough. Some jobs have it rough too
Since they timing windows where they have to mash alot of buttons. Like Mechanist and Ninja.
NVM I read the question wrong
Thats an upgrade material i think for the old AF1 gear. Probably did it so you cant accidentally sell it.
oh
AF1 is the lvl 50 job-exclusive gear
Upgrading it makes it dyable.
If you dont care for the looks, can just discard it.
hmm ok
And yes I play machinist, I love how much buttons you have to smash 
Uff then I need to learn shorts / get used by using shorts 
hi guys, im having issues getting into heaven-on-high lvl 31. i cleared the sidequest and the npc told me to ask him to access lvl 31+, but when i try i dont even have the option to do so
you have to start at 21
@leaden ginkgo 
weird
Its pretty hard to hit 10 buttons in 6 seconds by clicking
Since hypercharge heatblast makes your gauss round/ricochet go zoom zoom
@whole wasp
Not quite, the upgrade material of the AF1 gear is something a Level 50 ALC makes.
Like this one: Healer's Attire Augmentation, for the AF1 healer gear.
You gotta mash those gauss rounds to take adbantage of heatblast
Oh shit you're right.
Custom made cuirass is the quest reward
guys i bought the completion edition so i have 30 days free so does 30 days start from the trial period ends (lvl 35) or it starts as soon as i start the game(from lvl 1)
If I use a fantasia and cancel edit
It starts from as soon as you register the game
will it still consumes it?
No
nice thanks
sometimes I see people having "thicker" hp bars of the boss than me (im not talking about the size that you can change via hud layout) does anyone know how they did thjat?
Maybe its an overlay?
Oh, dang
@mossy tartan That was the first iteration of the music playing system back in 2017. I loved it, was able to set things up as a sequencer and just use macros to change the bars to different songs
Dude, heck holy cedar lumber

I jsut unlocked squadrons and I go into the barracks but there's nothing to do?
enlistment paper is empty
do I have to complete challenge logs or something
You get recruits over time.
Doing challenge logs triggers some recruits to appear.
For example there is a recruit who only shows up if you do golden saucer challenge logs.
ah I see
You can also buy squadron enlistment paper i think from the gc vendor
It forces recruits to show up after doing a dungoen i think.
How does one go about purchasing housing?
Find an empty plot. Click the sign until you get it.
If you dont mind just having an apartment, theres plently of those.
assuming you even have empty plots on your server
Leviathan lmao
ishguard will bring a bunch of new plots but you have to be in HW for that
the quarinteen and no auto demolish pretty much made plots all gone even in the places no one likes (goblet)
directX11, maybe an update happened on ffxiv and it's no longer compatible?
Right, I'll see what I can do. Thanks!
Have just downloaded direct X from the microsoft website, see if that fixed it.
I know this is basic but have you restarted your PC
I will do. I'm still getting the error,.
Can happen randomly
How come squenix makes me pick a birthday but then tbey don't send a birthday letter

for the #716926893227507766, i live in the uk and i'm worried the EU giveaway will go live when i'm asleep - it goes dark in 2 hours and is midnight in 5
will it be put up at a reasonable time for europeans?
You have 24 hours once its put up to join in

What is the difference between the top and bottom bag?
Inventory vs saddlebag maybe?...I'd imagine if you hover over it, it'll say
Alas, nothing on hover
What's the context on that? Where are you seeing it?
retainer bag?
Ahaha, I don't know, that's why I'm asking you guys!
Doubt it as you wouldn't have access to it when crafting
guy's which server should i choose from india
Throw those scales in your saddlebag and try it out Tael 🤷♂️
How do I access that?
Main menu > character > chocobo saddlebag
Well what do you know. It's indeed the saddlebag

It locks when you que
What's better, Overmelded Neo-Ishgardian or Edencall armor pieces? Like, should I bother with Edencall?
@mint void @pine bluff @proper sonnet Looks like that did it, it's not crashed for ages, thanks!
Best get my dungeons done then!

In aoe
I've been playing on Adamantoise. Is it worth joining the Novice Network? I am a veteran FF fan but new to MMOs so I am still pretty green.
Yes, its a channel thats meant to help new players

@faint flare what's the easiest way to join NN? I understand u have to be invited
Shout in like limsa for a invite
Blue is side content
So do that. It's meant to be a side activity, not a main job
Get a friend for Blue Mage, its annoying by yourself
.... That's probably why they said "get a friend"
Thx. One other question- is the only way to get between city states at this point (level 22) to take the airship? Appears I can't use the ferry
@leaden ginkgo overmelded neoish would be better
Attune to their aetherytes and teleport
You can teleport to each city if you attuned
ALWAYS attunr to the big aetheryte anytime you enter a new zone
Oh yea. I did. But still costs gil right?
Yes
A trivial amount
K. Just making sure not missing something
how do i give commendations?
At the end of the dungeon
You get a notice saying you can
Same place as loot notices show
Click that to commend someone who hasn't left yet
Were you in a full premade party? You can't commend people that were in your party before you started the dungeon
no, duty roulette
sorry a bit of a weird question here but for anyones who play for quite some time is it recommended to play on a tkl or full size keyboard rather then my current 65% I love theyre form factor and recently few months ago made the change for wanting more space to freely move the mouse but accessing the second bar of actions is tedious on this, any reccomendations?
If you rebind all the other keys (Q, E, R, T, etc.) for hotbar stuff, you might be able to make a 65% work?
Could also use Shift+Num, Ctrl+Num, Alt+Num, Shift+Ctrl+Num, ... etc
i guess you could switch to an 84 layout
Just say you're in a GATE >_>
Yeah cause gates have scanaths floor from dun scaith
Only 1 place has that floor pattern 🤷♂️
@vagrant copper thats a really good idea might try it out tomorrow and @unique oasis both the keyboards u mention are 65% with anne pro 2 being wireless IIRC, and my more so issue is with my travel speed on the keys itself, how do you make yours work?
hmm how do you switch between the 3 tabs? I assume ctrl?
yep I see it
ah okay now that makes sense
so pretty much just getting used to shift and control
my only concern is the ctrl would require getting used to the pinky finger eh
shift is still finish I would say considering the size easier to know its actually being pressed
right mines a ducky one 2 sf I prolly have the toggle at the bottom as well
no software support yet
I could try that as well but uh I tried all the swap positions in the bottom
none for control changing
and your right it makes more sense to have control in caps I never use caps anyways just shift
for sure otherwise people like us would have to resort to buying a full size which most cant afford in terms of space for mouse movement per se
yea some do
for sure same here
plus the smaller form factor does help with travel speed
I guess its just about getting used to
travel speed as in how long it takes for my finger to reach a certain key
its the primary reason I went smaller
right now am not that far honestly but I do have trouble with my second top hotbar
gladatior almost 40ish

my placement involves use of ~ to 5, q, e, r, x, f, g
and alt shift and ctrl
i avoid 5/6 for abilities because its a little farther to the right compared to ~ and in relation to movement keys
i have broken bars
it bugs people OCD wise
but it works
thats what i mean
you see lots of gaps
theortically yes they are placed you could say in the same space in between the keys but some do have it different considering the size of the keys themselves for eg my right shift key is way smaller then the left only for the reason to accommodate the arrow keys
@little swift thats my exact point I wanted to make ahead of 5 is extremely slow for my travel speed which is why I struggle and want to rely on other buttons to switch up the tab
i see how you're orienting stuff kawa
alt would require me to use my left thumb thats kinda hard, shift and control in caps is doable id say
it really does have to do with what you find most comfortable
Hi! I’m relatively new. So, I’m wondering... where does someone go to buy gear? I find that the marketplace is really expensive. Is there an NPC I should talk to?
keep doing 
if you're on the quest where you have to equip gear, you can do some
that reward them, or buy them from a vendor NPC
@tender tulip
yeah i see how you're seeing your layout kawa
you see it as your keyboard space
literally
Ah, I see. I’ve been leveling up a couple of classes and can’t keep up with MSQ lol Thank you! @little swift
whereas i just see it as i hit whatever is comfy
different preferences 
this is more #protips-and-ui kinda discussion now though if we don't mind moving over there
@little swift honestly its more comfortable with a full size or tkl but id rather stick to this and try out the shift and ctrl more so, alt seems to hard to get hang of
i've never honestly played with a different keyboard, mostly always fullsize ones
they take up a lot of space honestly and for a setup like mine I will for sure struggle with mouse movement
and naturally its always pleasing for a little bit more headroom
maybe consider placing your mouse in a different location to your keybaord
I do have a long mouse mat the issue is reachability
that and I guess more accurate strokes where required
Making a character in NA first time. Does it matter which data center/server? Something about raids and RP I heard
Hey All, coming back after only a couple of months played in SB. I am between PLD and GNB, can anyone give me a summary of the play style differences?
People say Primal/Aether are the more raid-centric data centers
and Crystal is the RP one
that's not to say you can't find RP in Primal/Aether or raiding in Crystal
PLD and GNB are both tanks
pld alternates betweeen a physical dps phase and a magical dps phase, while gnb has windows of busyness twice a minute with its Gnashing Fang- Continuation combo
Is there anything mid-low level gatherers can do besides use Unearth/Leaf Turn/etc when they have the GP) to get HQ items? I cant get skills like Deep vigor to activate yet
nope
I see
hey just bought the last 2 expansions and installed the game to get back into ffxiv.
But I get this crash whenever I try to start the game, can someone help me?
If the data server is highlighted in Green, does that mean its the closest to me? guess im gonna have to RP
no, that just means it's your current DC
all DCs in the region are at the same physical location
Also, it could just be FFXIV shitting itself
some days looking at it wrong causes a DX error

hi everyone, is leveling experience similar as a white mage vs regular dps role? will i level faster as a dps role?
ah i see, i haven't gotten to dungeons yet
do you know what level i will be able to start queueing for dungeons?
Lv16 ish story quest
cool ty
If you're still going through the story then the level time will be the same
yeah i am. i just saw a lancer killing things much faster than i and i was thinking maybe it would be easier for me to be a dps instead
I have a question about the Storyline boost. If you've already completed Shadowbringers and up to 5.2, and you buy a Stormblood Completion manual (to unlock all the aether currents in HW and SB), does the storyline reset you back to the start of Shadowbringers 5.0?
Or will it not let you even buy it?
I don't think it will let you use it on a character that completed SB.
From the official page "This item cannot be used if you have already completed the main scenario quest "A Requiem for Heroes.""
ah, okay. Darn. Have to power my way through this then. haha.
if you're doing dol/doh levelling there's always the firmament
imagine the crystarium earrings give me the same net gain on stats than the crystarium belt, I still want the belt first because of the defense and magic defense gains right?
over neo-ishgardian
Hello can anyone help me? I'm thinking of buying the game and I'm watching some videos, but in steam there is a pack that includes starter pack and shadowbringers, but in instant gaming there is the complete edition with the shadowbringers, stormblood, heavensward and realm reborn, with one should I buy?
@leaden ginkgo yea get your left side first
Se bundles old expansions into the new one to save new players money
alright alright, ty
So if I buy the shadowbringers one with the starter edition, I get everything?
Yes
ty
Buying starter and Shadowbringers seperately is the same as buying the complete edition
And I guess this is a stupid question, but the game is it worth it? Is there a lot of active people?
Is it hard to get to endgame material?
There is a free trial you can try out before purchasing if you haven't already
But the game is very considerate of your time
And quite casual friendky
Like aril said, there's a trial if you want to try before buying
you can get into endgame on accident
I'm gonna try it out
you save your gil as you level, you'll have about 2 million
Lets you get uo to lv35 on every job
and there's a set at 80 which will get you into raids nbd

guys, I skipped the entire story of the alexander due to doing FC event/training for the raids, now I kinda want to see what's it's like, my best bet is youtube or is there any other way?
You can use new game+ to replay through it
how does that work?
It has the raid and trial stories now
is it at the inn?
NG+ basically lets you start it from the beginning again
okay
It’s in the duty menu once you unlock it
okay gotcha, I do want to have savages unlocked though, can I keep them in my duty finder or progress will be reset?
From Old Man Xehanort the whimsical fellow
Would It be best to max my main job doing msq before branching out to the others?
It won’t affect those
You can pause and back out of NG+ when you want
okay cool so basically it resets the storyline but not the duty finder progress? That's excellent
And resume whenever
If you like CHEESE and wibbly wobbly timey rhymy stuff
okay lol, I'll give it a go anyway, thanks!
whats the best mount to get with the irregular tomestone of law difficulty-to-get-wise
Ixion since it’s from a world boss
Nah,
They’ll basically become useless once 5.3 arrives since ARR zones will get flying, which isn’t boosted by the mount speed maps
Yes
wow thats great I cant wait for that
can all 50lvl ex be soled? I struggled with the Moogle king and Ramuh with my MCH, managed with PLD
Yes
I mean I'm sure pld can but MCH? was I just not doing that well or it's actually hard with a dps?
Did they take out allocating stat points?
Yes
What happened to the points I had allocated?
OG classes have those built in as traits now
how long does it take to get one relic weapon?
depends on the expansion but expect to be from days (no life) to weeks
just to get one isn't hard
no life incoming
to upgrade it on the other hand...
well yea to complete, hence why I didn't bother yet xD
i love grinding stuff like that
what relic weapon are you planning to get
didn't eureka suck too
yep that too
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=AfbQMMVfFu4&t=915s 18:03 this one I meant
The promised presentation of all Relic Weapons for the Heavensward Relic
paired with a medley of our beloved Heavensward Soundtrack
And I finally returned to Livestreaming on Twitch, so join our Relic grind, Crafting, or Party Finder adventures:
https://www.twitch.tv/desperi...
Group content, but the leveling itself can be done solo
from what expansion are the Zodiac Weapons?
ARR, the base game.
Anima is Heavensward, Eureka is Stormblood, and Resistance is Shadowbringers.
A nice european server?
Recommended server
Both are pretty equal. Chaos has a bit more French people on Moogle and Light has a bit more Germans on Shiva.
You know about Spanish people maybe? Or english idc
Spanish on the EU datacenters? No idea
But English speakers are everywhere in the EU worlds
I'm in Spriggan so I'm biased but I would recommend that lol
Also gotta keep my eyes on the game just wiped in eden :Z
What are fellowships?
Basically a message board
are you able to get multiple relic weapons of one expansions, lets say for different jobs?
Im really lost on logograms
lol
I wanna get elemental armo
armor
but idk
how the logogram system works and how to get all the logos actions
Logograms are basically like crafting recipes
I use this for crafting the more complex ones and keeping track of what logograms I need to get all of them https://ffxiv-eureka.com/logograms
FFXIV Eureka NM pop time tracker
Yes
Per instance, yes.
Per fight
one item from each fight per week
okay thanks

I see a lot of tanks in dungeons pulling small groups of enemies towards another group of enemies farther down into the dungeon. Is this a common tactic to make it easier by putting a bunch of mobs in the same place?
Mass pulling is very common
And somewhat expected due to it speeding up the dungeon
And it saves healer mp
Does the races mather when ever I pick a class? Like can I be a Lalafel Marauder for example? Or does the races come with racial skills
Race doesn't matter
Anything apart from starting job doesn't matter at character creation
Itd all fluff
what is my friend supposed to do here? He can't unlock the dungeon
for the amdapor keep
Been trying to get ffxiv to download on gf's mac but it just stops downloading and freezes mac until she has to force restart. any ideas?
for the amdapor keep
@nova umbra I am fairly sure that it is a optional dungeon you need to unlock separately
Needing it in your Zodiac quest doesn't unlock it for you
Thanks, Aril
Your job gauge
You dont get rid of it
It holds important info later
It shows if you have iron will on or not currently
oh ya btw been meaning to ask about iron will. um it says that it like increases stuff
im not sure what that means
!action iron will
enmity generation?
When players attack enemy, they build enmity
aggro
Or aggro
OH
Player with the highest aggro get targeted by the enemy
wish they just put aggro instead of enemity since i didnt know what it ment
So as a tank you need a mean to build aggro faster than everyone else, this is where iron will comes in
Is anyone here able to help with technical issues with codes on the Ps4 ?
¯\_(ツ)_/¯ (this shrug is not for you Imking I was responding to the Paladin player)
can try looking it up first
@quiet magnet at higher level, you will be able to build resources into a gauge and this icon change its look to show you your gauge
And you will get an option called Simple Mode to make it less obtrusive
For the time being, you can just move it and make it smaller
HUD layout - bottom of the drop down list
THANK YOU
also another thing to note, all jobs come with some kind of gauge like that
They all have Simple Mode too
is it scummy to wait at the end of a raid to get the loot?
i just started playing like 5 days ago so. I try to look up what things are before asking
Alliance raid or just raid?
idk, the 24 man
Best healer? Conjurer or Scholar?

Unless you are at the end of the thing and refuse to roll
Doesn't matter in the middle
ok thx
@silver ruin What kind of healers are there? Like area healers and single targets? Or in what are they different?
They all can do the same job
im like level 10 and i think i wont plan on going in parties so i dont think ironwill will help
sch is shield, ast is shield or regen, whm is regen
They just have different tools to get there
^
im like level 10 and i think i wont plan on going in parties so i dont think ironwill will help
@quiet magnet it will be non optional at lvl 15
you're forced to do dungeons for storyline
Because you will hit a dungeon at lvl 15 
So if ast has both isn't that the best option to go?
If you are questing alone on the open map, then it doesn't matter
ast is the hardest to master
ya but still i assime iron will is only good when yur in a party
requires a lot of micromanaging for card system
Astrologian cannot do both at the same time
You keep iron will on 24/7
aka regen
Is there any main for dungeons? Or can you go with any of the 3?
any
Ast is the most fashionable, and as we all know.. fashion is endgame
ast you cant unlock till heavensward anyway
is there a place in this discord where you ask for ppl who want to level?
Only time you turn it.off is when there's another tank...even then you turn it off briefly
So the whm is a good healer to start the game?
yea they're all fine
Yes it's the only option to start
yea sch doesnt get unlocked till lv 30 for acanist
In higher difficulty/level contents, you will be in party of 8 players, 2 tank, 2 healer, 4 DPS, so usually one of the tank will not use their aggro stance (I know it is not exactly that, but our player here is very new, so don't add too much info to this unnecessarily)
For a fledgling healer, I have this one tip: read tooltips and work out exactly how each healing spell works. This is crucial to not drain your MP.
Using your two earliest conjurer/white Mage spell, cure and regen
^
Regen heals more but it does it automatically slowly over time, cure heal less but you can keep casting it over and over again
Thanks
Can i playffxiv on steam using a different account, lets say an account with the pc version?
So depending on how dire you or your party member need their HP back, you should decide what to use when
also once you get lucid dreaming (mp regen) dont use it once your mp drops real low, 7k~ish is fine
cause its only 1 min cd
Can i playffxiv on steam using a different account, lets say an account with the pc version?
@frail fulcrum let me get the question straight (I don't think I can answer this though).
You are asking: if you have a PC/steam account, can you play on a friend's desktop with a steam ffxiv?
Question for PS4 players, does the Shadowbringers collector's edition come with the other DLC or only Shadowbringers? Trying to figure out if I need to purchase the complete edition or if I can just grab the Shadowbringers collector's edition
You need the base game either way
Shadowbringers Collector Edition comes with Shadowbringers collector, Heavensward standard, and Stormblood standard
Have the base game
sigh
Then the complete collection is pointless
Shadowbringers comes with Heavensward and Stormblood as a base
The Starter Edition counts as base game right
Yes
Shadowbringers Collector is Shadowbringers with a few extra goodies
Shadowbringers itself always include Heavensward and Stormblood
Hi! The best weapons for each class are relic weapons?
No
Ok, the info boxes ddint mention that for either of their store pages
not right now
Yes, but not right now
right now the best weapons are the ones from Savage
Relic used to be the endgame
It is the best at the very end of an expansion
the Relic will be slightly better right before the next expansion comes out
How so? Is it something relative or something that changes? Depending on what?
Savage weapons will be the best until the.end of the expansion
Relics upgrade slowly as patches.go on
Usually every X.X5 patch
Oh, I see, so relic are like upgradable?
Yes
It is a side content you can grind for
and it's not until the final patch(es) of the expansion that they overtake Savage weapons
Got it, and savage weapons are fixed? And as of right now, the most powerful?
Yes
Unless you count the weapons from Ultimate of the same tier
Due to the extra materia.slot
This tier has no ultimate so savage is best
Next tier should have a ultimate in theory
At some point
we hope anyways
Hmm, so I see it’s not like a definitive thing... thanks for clarifying
Just want to point out thay aside from Ultimates, none of the in game PvE contents required you to min-max to the absolute well.. Maximum
Otherwise it would become a catch-22 scenario
If relic weapon beats savage early on, then there is no reason to grind savage

Least punishing class would be drg ?
So they leave it until the end of the expansion where shit doesn't matter
In terms of easy damage rotation? Probably red mage.
Or forgiving with player mistake?
Easy in general would be White Mage
Yesh modt forgivinv
!faq blmleveling
I don’t play Triple Triad but I have the Diabolos Hollow and Argath Thadalfus cards. What should I do with them?
You can sell them for MGP if you want to
If I click use, what does that do?
@pallid eagle are we comparing it to all DPS?
It adds it to your TT card Collection
Or just melee dps?
Ranged/melee
Does that include mages?
@obsidian patio where do I go look to see the cards I have now? Is there a menu option or do I physically have to go somewhere?
Character > Gold Saucer > Triple Triad
If mage is included, then what Wynne said is correct, Red Mage is forgiving with player mistake.
No casters
@obsidian patio thank you! 👍
I’ll just add them to my deck then. I don’t even use the market board right now anyway.
Just don't make too many mistakes heh XD
Pwople saying drg snd bard ?
Bard is fine too
Dragoon rotation is not difficult to learn, but if you dropped your Life of a Dragon buff, it is a long way to get back to where you were
You use flare in aoe
!action flare
Because it will kill your MP
800 is the minimum
And it is not worth doing the extra steps needed to go back to Umbral Ice 3
Longer cast time
The cast time and fact it takes all mana makes ir not worth it in ST
Cast to.long and the wait for mana doesn't make the slight damage worth it
You delay your rotation too much
Yea, cauae its a fuck ton of damage
Cuz the potency is worth it
In aoe
um why those it do this when i pick my level 1 attack
It’s a combo
Even just hitting 3 enemies is close to 600 potency
!action riot blade
so use 4 when i got a combo
Dsmmit why do i keep doing this to myself making harder to finish shadowbringer :( can't decide yet want to play kinda on edge of jist giving up
The glowing skill do more damage
oh
Fast Blade - > Riot Blade
Doing fast blade into riot blade makes riot blade do more damage
300 potency if you combo it vs 100 potency if yoy use riot blade alone
!action fast blade
Was fast Blade not the correct command?
Kupo seems to be acting up a bit
insert the great googly moogly macro


Sorry
We're under like
Heavy maintenance right
Now
Did he post again? Did you delete it?
???
@obsidian patio
Sorry guess my brsin can't decide to keep pushing drg (clicking skills for opener while 1234 for main rotation and wasd to move) no controllers though or find somethijg with lleast button pressing and not fast pased
i didn't delete any kupo messages lately
find somethijg with lleast button pressing and not fast pased
@pallid eagle Machinist, dancer, Bard, Samurai, or ninja
In this order
Also csrpwl tunnel
Machinist has very low button count and its rotation doesn't have any RNG on it
Ninja gets pretty button mashy during trick attack
Outside of trick its just doing combo and pressing shit om cooldown
Only busy in trick
but samurai is actually quite chill once you're out of the opener
Most jobs are busy every minute or so
Hmm seems mch prob interesting but dunno
Well... The criteria is button press and not fast pace... So ninja beat Dragoon/Monk on that
Dragoon is surprisingly busier that you imagine
I'm playing mch and it's great for learning harder fights as the rotation is fixed and forgiving
Ah really ?

Dancer is a lot of RNG, but its button count is the lowest, and the job isn't super fast pace in itself
Unless yoy do the high ping rotation i guess
It is only fast because you need to track and react to all the procs
carpal tunnel?
Which involves not weaving gauss and richo
oh that's another way of saying smashing buttons 😄
Hmm
i said this earlier regarding mch and i'll say it again, unless you forcibly ignore hypercharge windows it does have a lot of busyness for heatblast/gauss round/ricochet weaves
otherwise you don't really have many options
casters would be your best bet in terms of low need for cast weaving, drg is the slowest out of all the melees
you barely have a need to weave for drg, since you can single weave everything due to animation locks
its rotation is the most static
what concerns me the most here, is why you are so concerned about what other people think in regards to how you use your skills
if you need to click them
then click them
is it worth to eat on the msq roulette
no like

exp food
i mean i don't see why not
With how cheap it is, why not
boiled eggs are cheap
if you're looking for stats though, that stuff is not super needed
just eat something cheap
I just meant like for exp
since it doesnt seem to give too much from mobs at least
Still free extra xp ar the end of the day
And food is cheao
So
Why nit
Not losing anything for it
True
Hmmm
Can anyone point me to a guide on level 70 dragoon rotation?
Look at 80 and remove stardiver and change raiden thrust to true thrust
Boom, lv70 rotation
Drg rotation barely changes after 70
no one expects you to be a god at your job
So for each savage run it drops just 1 coffer? for 8 players to roll for? twice a week?
depends on the floor
70 DRG rotation is: alternate combos
for fulmination
There are some top-parsing players and speedclearers who click their skills.
For 5s there's 3 coffers
for 8s, yes, there is one weapon coffer
are my guild mates able to rank this up if they're turning in stuff to their GC? or how does this work exactly? cause a guildy says hes Malestrom and has turned in stuff, but we're getting no exp towards it
so its 2 books for sure for 8s (1 per run), and 2 coffers to roll for right? or are the books RNG?
@orchid condor you can only gain reputation with the GC your FC is registered with.
5s drops 3 accessories/belt coffers
6s is 2 hand/feet/hands coffers with tomestone and accessory upgrade
7s is hand/feet/boot coffer with pant coffer, weapon and left aide upgrade
8s is weapon coffer, raw weapon, chwst coffer, mount and minion
@jade quartz Can i switch that? so we can get more exp
1 page is automatically given on clear directly into your inventory
Provided you have space
📝
Otherwise its lost forever
doesn't matter what GC your members are in
thanks a lot for the info
i more am wanting to level up the FC,and ive noticed that GC standing gives us exp
No, that's a different meter
Your FC rank goes up by people earning company credits.
Company credits are earned by members:
Inviting New Members
Crafting anything High Quality
Gathering anything High Quality
Undertaking supply and provisioning missions with your Grand Company
Completing FATEs
Completing Duties
Completing Quests
Earning Achievements
What Grand company a player does this stuff with doesn't matter.
oh, so company standing has nothing to do with the FC rank, its literally just been because ive turned in tons of gear for Company Credits
The only things I know of that the "standing" affects
Are reducing the price of buying FC actions with company seals
and at some level it grants members of the company very slightly reduced teleport fees to the territory associated with that GC.
So for you, Thanalan.
The max level for FC-GC standing is 8.
You'll just get there naturally in a little time
doesn't really matter at all.
OH wow https://imgur.com/a/H0VlKvi this acually true for DRG ?
so, my friend fell for the phishing scam where he got sent a link to a "forum post" about the "current political climate" and typed in his password and two-factor auth password. how screwed is he? he's currently locked out of his account and still can't log in after trying to change the password?
already has a ticket with SE support
eureka question: what logogram would work well with spirit of the remembered?
drakeos thats based on e6s runs
this is savage related
you're nowhere close to have reached a point in msq where you can run those
don't even worry about that
@sweet crane Honestly, it's your standard phishing thing. If you submitted the ticket as soon as the account locking happening, there will be minimum damage. Otherwise, it could be bad
As in, credit card information, location of residence and so on if they REALLY know what they are doing.
hi all, am ridiculously new to ff14 and mmos in general. Some friends got me into the game and invited me to their FC, but with them being level 80 to my 7 our interactions are currently...limited.
I've been finding the game way more fun with other people from the brief moments of stumbling into someone else's fate, though. Is there any way I can find other newbies to play with at my stage?
Or do I just have to grind up to the dungeons?
Since I know those scale to individual player level
First off, find a Novice Network
oh, those work independently from FCs?
I suppose I could also briefly leave theirs until I'm leveled enough
Yes. They are "supposed" to be focused on newbie players.
^
oh, nice
...remind me how to get into those? I go to the main hub and type in a command?
Depending on the server some can be trash fires of drama and unhelpfulness though
Mentor invites you to one
Shout in a main hub for someone to invite you
You'll be fine. It's what Mentors are supposed to do
@limpid lynx also just so you know, in this game, Dungeons auto scale players down levels to match with the dungeons, i believe your first dungeon is around lvl 15? so if your friends join you on those dungeons (and dont unsync it and run through it normal) it will feel like you're playing with people around your level as well
It is 15. Satasha
also
ALL of your friends classes are at lvl 80? cause they can freely change to come down to your level on a class they dont have leveled up high and play with you around the open world stuff D:
Nope. Tam Tara is 16
Yes, higher-levels sync down to 16
i remember last time i played, if you bought something from the marketboard that matched the city you were in, there wouldn't be tax
is that not a thing anymore?
actually that might be 18
@mental garnet nope, now there is at least some tax anywhere v_v
gotcha
ah, makes sense
i'm just buying a set of level 80 gear
since i'm woefully behind on msq
still mid-SB
I wouldn't really recommend buying level 80 gear now
mid sb but lvl 80
?
since there's no content where it will be useful to you
^
i've done all my dailies on one class
for a month or so
@latent bloom going back to this, can they still get in even if he has two-factor auth set up? like, wouldn't it change by they time they tried to log back in? or do the bots log straight in to the account after he hit enter, meaning the two-factor auth code might still be valid? not that you'd know specifically lol
I have no idea mate. That is very good question. Phishing is only a basic scammer thing. Once they get under the hood, there is no telling what happens next
if you have like 600k you can buy a set of lvl 80 gear from the board i think...well maybe that depends on server
can server hop for cheaper prices in your data center
if you REALLY wanna go that route
wow, had no idea you could do that, is there someplace that shows prices of items per Data Center?
yeah i'm doing it because i have the gil
and i'm just manually world hopping
to check the prices
ffxivmb has that feature but i find it's often not updated
i'm used to it anyway since i do it for GC turn-in daily
yeah Zephyr, if you have the gil i guess you could buy a set of HQ Neo-Ishgardian gear o3o
It looks nice at least
i'm still rocking augmented shire since i'm not through stormblood yet --> no scaevan

ye this is what i have
so.
it's not like i went out of my way to avoid dungeons or whatever
oh i guess i forgot about getting the paladin quest gear
i290
ye, i agree
it's just i'd rather have the i480 stuff earlier just in case it's useful when i do unsync stuff
rather than wait to save like 600k gil
It's not gonna be that important for unsyncing stuff
Interact with a gathering location underwater.
Do You have truth of oceans on

Look for the fish markers underwater

If I use a black dye on a chest piece, then use a pink dye, do I need to buy a black dye to go back to the original color?
Do you have fathom on? @fossil basin
A friend and fellow free company's member got tricked by a fake log in screen, he lost his character and before we realized our company chest got looted. We reported cheating to the support desk. What are the chances he gets his character back and gil back?
Is there anything else he can do?

Not much else you can really do
Where do we get Ronkan gear now? Can we even?
Hunt currency
@faint flare You mean the seals?
To help/assist the other tank
Or maybe save someones life
GNB has a mitigation button that can be used on self or party member: Heart of Stone
For PLD the sort of equivalent part of the toolkit is two buttons
Sheltron for self, Intervention for party member
GNB has a lot of buttons
PLD's rotation goes
Location Question:
Is the Ghimlyt Dark located in the southwesternmost area of the Garlean Empire or the southeasternmost?
Goring Blade combo to put up DoT (with Fight or Flight) -> Royal Authority combo to give three sword oath stacks -> 3x Atonement to spend those Sword Oath stacks -> Re-up Goring Blade DoT combo
and then
@mild ermine ronkan is via sacks of nuts
Requiescat -> Holy Spirit, Holy Spirit, Holy Spirit, Holy Spirit, Confiteor
@faint flare I .. don't know what that is honestly lol
I don't know why I'm thinking The Burn for some odd reason. They need a more indepth map.
I don't think I've ever seen that
Shadowbringers hunt currency
I think even the base GCD can fit in 5
My problem with the Black Mage is AOE rotation. I have the single rotation down really good
But the AOE one, I just can't keep up with the numbers.
In my res macro, how do you do the little green/red arrows in the chat message?
it becomes a lot simpler once you hit 72
@faint flare There's a hunt board for that too right? Like specifically in shadow bringers, like there is one for Stormblood and Heavensward ?
Funny enough I'm only 71 xD
Yed
then it becomes Freeze > T4 > sometimes F3 > Flare > Flare > repeat
Where?
Crystarium
Ah, okay.
And eulmore
Oki ty so much
@sturdy mason that's the auto-translate dictionary: start typing a term and then hit tab to search the auto-translate dictionary for it.
Why Fire 3 on an AOE target though, @obsidian patio ?
Astral Fire potency boost
To give make flare do more
Terms within the
arrows
will display in the reader's client language.
it's more worthwhile when you have triple cast to use on the flares
Though with alot of targets, skipping the fire 3 is optimal
is there a simple guide on Sam?
!faq samrotation
Fire 3 puts you into Astral Fire 3, which makes your first Flare be buffed by Astral Fire 3
You start with the opener and then you do a loop of Cooldown > Filler > burst
What song is being played in this house???
Going straight into Flare from ice phase means your first flare will not be buffed by AF3
ah ok.
recently obtained Samurai and didn't expect to get almost all the skills at 50 so trying to get used to it
@nova umbra Voice of No Return, from the YorHa alliance raid story
Hai I was wondering why are streamers using addons like pasers arnt they against TOS ?
Parsers, along with other mods, are in a grey area.
As long as you don't use them to harass or openly tell random people you're using it on them you're 100% fine.
Strictly speaking yes, they are against the ToS
but realistically SE knows a majority of raiders use them
And if they banned the raiders, game is ded
SE has never banned anyone using them in the WF race even if they're visible
SE officially acknowledges players who get world-first clears on new raids
even though those players have ACT clearly visible running on their streams.
They care more about stopping things like Cactbot which shows stuff that players shouldn't see
like show AoE markers for stuff that don't have them
Basically play nicely with your toys and daddy SE wont have to take them away
And dont cheat naturally
What about combat plug in that like PvP (putting skills into one command?)
Because there isn't any reasonable risk of being punished for having ACT visible on your stream.
I'm not aware of any plugin that does that
I've seen gifs of it
And, if they wanted you to be able to do that, they wouldn't have made the macro system like they did
nah they're definitely in PVE areas
I don't think SE would approve of those, but they generally don't call out specific mods/addons
Like, if it isn't possible in the current macro system, there's probably a good reason :p
Yeah I seen people suggesting this but knowing it's against TOS
Pixies and spam dungeons
Thanks @unique oasis . I don't think it's really like, amazing tho if you'll allow the self deprivation :P. The instant I heard "3 second delay on skills used with macros". I was like, "oh, to prevent macros for skill chains". xD

If I outlevel an armor piece, is there any reason to keep it??
I'm out of armoury room
Do you have better
ANd I simply can't remember what my options are since I haven't played in a while
Or plans to level jobs that will use that gear
Hmm maybe? I dunno.
If not, get rid of it
No plans atm I suppose
You get re get everything more or less
Ah ok
is there a guide on the moogle tome stuff?
I guess since I am not going to use them anymore, I should desynth them? THey have full spiritbond. Is that still a thing?
Spend them on stuff at the interate moogle
whre do i spend them and is there only 1 shop?
THey are kind of taking up inv space
In major cities
Spiritbond has changed to where extracting the materia from the equipment no longer destroys it
Yes, it resets to 1% after extracting
@vagrant scaffold put them in a glamour chest if you like the look of them, otherwise prolly sell them I'd guess. Though remember your retainer and chocobo practically triple your inv space
Maybe even quadruple
Idk the math
Once I used a booster for a job, can i still get to play through the job quest for the job story?
Glamour chest?
No
Hmm I'm going to have to look this one up
Yes, your cosmetic things
They mean the glamour dresser
Skip pots explicitly state you skip the job quests
Haven't used it in a while
Hi, I’ve picked up final fantasy last week and I just hit lvl 50 yesterday and I’m kind of overwhelmed by the amount of content unlock u suddenly get. Should I finish all these content unlock quest first or just keep doing msq?
The only one I’d worry about is the crystal tower questline as that will eventually become part of the story in 5.3
^
This glamour stuff seems a lot more complicated than I remember. Really cool though!
Okay ty!
@vagrant scaffold depending on when you last played, it's simpler
Does glamouring destroy the item?
There's a single glamour prism, for example
No
Basically the only thing you need for glamour are prisms, and those are like a dime a dozen
I think last I played you used a glamour prism of a certain level and I think it was a one time thing....maybe around 2.2 or so?
Oh but, put anything you can in the armory chest first before trying to put it in the dresser
The prism creates an illusion over the item, if I need to make an analog
It was a nightmare managing 35 different types of prisms
Also, could someone explain Glamour plates too him? They're definitely important, but idk if I could do a sufficient job
I think they had different based on gear type as well maybe? Still a thing or truly just one proism to rule them all?
