Drg does give everyone in the entire party a crit rate buff for like 15seconds

#

Opposed to next attack

#

Again, no definitive answer cause crit is all RNG and people dont like grinding out crit percentages

little swift
#

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

#

you say carpal tunnel can be a hindrance to your gameplay

#

so i'd suggest against machinist

#

!action hypercharge

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Hypercharge** : lvl 30 MCH (50 None) (10.0 second cooldown)

Releases the energy building in your firearm, causing it to become Overheated, increasing the potency of single-target weaponskills by 20.
Duration: 8s
Heat Gauge Cost: 50

little swift
#

!action heatblast

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Heat Blast** : lvl 35 MCH (2.5 second cooldown)

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.

little swift
#

!action gauss round

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Gauss Round** : lvl 15 MCH (30.0 second cooldown)

Delivers an attack with a potency of 150.
Maximum Charges: 3

little swift
#

!action ricochet

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Ricochet** : lvl 50 MCH (30.0 second cooldown)

Deals damage to all nearby enemies with a potency of 150 for the first enemy, and 50% less for all remaining enemies.
Maximum Charges: 3

little swift
#

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

fresh lodge
#

Can you play on controller?

remote lintel
#

said they can't afford it

fresh lodge
#

WHM had a low APM, what about that?

remote lintel
#

they don't like casters

obsidian wren
#

Dragoon or samurai perhaps?

#

Dont believe they got a crazy high apm

remote lintel
#

they say that people complain when they click skills for drg and they don't want sam GWcmeisterPeepoShrug

jolly sorrel
#

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?

fresh lodge
#

Dancer doesn't have many buttons

mossy tartan
#

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

remote lintel
#

no?

#

it wouldn't make much difference anyway

mossy tartan
remote lintel
#

no idea what that is

mossy tartan
#

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

remote lintel
#

don't know about that

mossy tartan
#

ok

whole wasp
#

i dont think you can macro performance note by note to do this

young fjord
#

You used to be able to do that, but people made macros to autoplay so they removed it

mossy tartan
#

Ohhh

whole wasp
#

but i think you can use a software to map it for you

mossy tartan
#

It’s annoying to press ctrl / shift to play in a higher octave : /

young fjord
#

That is against ToS however

mossy tartan
#

I won’t risk

#

ty though

young fjord
#

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

mossy tartan
#

Question - is it possible to connect a MIDI keyboard and play through the game?

whole wasp
#

can be a simple autohotkey file that translate a F1 input into shift + 1 for example

#

not natively

mossy tartan
#

wow, thank you so much

young fjord
#

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

whole wasp
#

this is straight midi keyboard to keyboard button press

young fjord
#

Yes MIDI keybord is fine

whole wasp
#

if you use a midi player, thats a whole different story yup

young fjord
#

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

mossy tartan
#

fair enough

young fjord
#

Like having a MIDI keyboard won't change that

mossy tartan
#

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)

whole wasp
#

Yea. I still find for the black keys with my fingers so i inow what key im pressing.

leaden ginkgo
#

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)

whole wasp
#

Quite. The bare basics of ffxiv is the adage abc

#

!faq abc

zinc orbitBOT
#
Always Be Casting
whole wasp
#

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.

pine bluff
#

why can't I sell this?

#

hmm so I have to discard it

leaden ginkgo
#

NVM I read the question wrong

whole wasp
#

Thats an upgrade material i think for the old AF1 gear. Probably did it so you cant accidentally sell it.

pine bluff
#

oh

whole wasp
#

AF1 is the lvl 50 job-exclusive gear

#

Upgrading it makes it dyable.

#

If you dont care for the looks, can just discard it.

pine bluff
#

hmm ok

leaden ginkgo
#

And yes I play machinist, I love how much buttons you have to smash blobscree
Uff then I need to learn shorts / get used by using shorts edgeypaissa

green pagoda
#

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

dusty jungle
#

you have to start at 21

whole wasp
#

@leaden ginkgo deeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeerp

green pagoda
#

weird

whole wasp
#

Its pretty hard to hit 10 buttons in 6 seconds by clicking

#

Since hypercharge heatblast makes your gauss round/ricochet go zoom zoom

rich bay
#

@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.

whole wasp
#

You gotta mash those gauss rounds to take adbantage of heatblast

#

Oh shit you're right.

#

Custom made cuirass is the quest reward

whole lagoon
#

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)

loud wolf
#

If I use a fantasia and cancel edit

fresh lodge
#

It starts from as soon as you register the game

loud wolf
#

will it still consumes it?

fresh lodge
#

No

loud wolf
#

nice thanks

strong sphinx
#

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?

whole wasp
#

Maybe its an overlay?

junior wind
#

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

pine bluff
#

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

whole wasp
#

You get recruits over time.

pine bluff
whole wasp
#

Doing challenge logs triggers some recruits to appear.

pine bluff
#

also I dont understand how I've only completed 1 guildhest?

#

ive done shit tons

whole wasp
#

For example there is a recruit who only shows up if you do golden saucer challenge logs.

pine bluff
#

ah I see

whole wasp
#

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.

mint void
#

How does one go about purchasing housing?

whole wasp
#

Find an empty plot. Click the sign until you get it.

#

If you dont mind just having an apartment, theres plently of those.

upbeat storm

assuming you even have empty plots on your server

mint void
#

Leviathan lmao

upbeat storm
#

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)

Just started today. I changed nothing.

mint void
#

directX11, maybe an update happened on ffxiv and it's no longer compatible?

untold tulip
#

Right, I'll see what I can do. Thanks!

#

Have just downloaded direct X from the microsoft website, see if that fixed it.

pine bluff
#

I know this is basic but have you restarted your PC

untold tulip
#

I will do. I'm still getting the error,.

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

sorry for the silly question

Inventory vs saddlebag maybe?...I'd imagine if you hover over it, it'll say

jolly sorrel
#

Alas, nothing on hover

vagrant copper

What's the context on that? Where are you seeing it?

Raw Materials list when crafting

dusky echo

retainer bag?

jolly sorrel
#

Ahaha, I don't know, that's why I'm asking you guys!

vagrant copper
#

Doubt it as you wouldn't have access to it when crafting

whole lagoon
#

guy's which server should i choose from india

vagrant copper
#

Throw those scales in your saddlebag and try it out Tael 🤷‍♂️

jolly sorrel
#

How do I access that?

faint flare
#

Main menu > character > chocobo saddlebag

jolly sorrel
#

Well what do you know. It's indeed the saddlebag

In aoe

faint cloud
#

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.

faint flare
#

Yes, its a channel thats meant to help new players

#

Even if most use it as pseudo world chat

crystal shoal
#

hey guys

#

can i main blu

#

like

#

MAIN blu

#

i can do raids under 70 tho right

faint flare
#

Only 60 and under

faint cloud
#

@faint flare what's the easiest way to join NN? I understand u have to be invited

silk summit
#

And it has to be premade groups

#

You can't duty finder

faint flare
#

Shout in like limsa for a invite

crystal shoal
#

:<

#

i really like the idea of collecting abilities tho

faint flare
#

Blue is side content

silk summit
#

So do that. It's meant to be a side activity, not a main job

faint flare
#

You cant even do normal quests as blue

#

Only your job quests

leaden ginkgo
#

Get a friend for Blue Mage, its annoying by yourself

vagrant copper
#

.... That's probably why they said "get a friend"

faint cloud
#

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

clever cave
#

@leaden ginkgo overmelded neoish would be better

leaden ginkgo
#

Attune to their aetherytes and teleport

faint flare
#

You can teleport to each city if you attuned

#

ALWAYS attunr to the big aetheryte anytime you enter a new zone

faint cloud
#

Oh yea. I did. But still costs gil right?

faint flare
#

Yes

silk summit
#

A trivial amount

faint flare
#

The cost is negligible

#

And only ever caps at 999

faint cloud
#

K. Just making sure not missing something

twilit abyss
#

how do i give commendations?

faint flare
#

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

twilit abyss
#

hmmm didn't see it

#

but i'll keep an eye out, thanks

silk summit
#

Were you in a full premade party? You can't commend people that were in your party before you started the dungeon

twilit abyss
#

no, duty roulette

lean quest
#

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?

vagrant copper
#

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

willow cipher
#

i guess you could switch to an 84 layout

vagrant copper
#

Just say you're in a GATE >_>

faint flare
#

Yeah cause gates have scanaths floor from dun scaith

#

Only 1 place has that floor pattern 🤷‍♂️

lean quest
#

@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

little swift
#

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

lean quest
#

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

little swift
#

i see how you're orienting stuff kawa

lean quest
#

alt would require me to use my left thumb thats kinda hard, shift and control in caps is doable id say

little swift
#

it really does have to do with what you find most comfortable

tender tulip
#

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?

little swift
#

keep doing msq

#

if you're on the quest where you have to equip gear, you can do some sidequest 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

tender tulip
#

Ah, I see. I’ve been leveling up a couple of classes and can’t keep up with MSQ lol Thank you! @little swift

little swift
#

whereas i just see it as i hit whatever is comfy

#

different preferences GWcmeisterPeepoShrug

#

this is more #protips-and-ui kinda discussion now though if we don't mind moving over there

lean quest
#

@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

little swift
#

i've never honestly played with a different keyboard, mostly always fullsize ones

lean quest
#

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

little swift
#

maybe consider placing your mouse in a different location to your keybaord

lean quest
#

I do have a long mouse mat the issue is reachability

#

that and I guess more accurate strokes where required

normal kraken
#

Making a character in NA first time. Does it matter which data center/server? Something about raids and RP I heard

white abyss
#

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?

little swift
#

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

leaden ginkgo
#

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

slate arrow
#

nope

#

I see

ionic rover
#

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?

normal kraken
#

If the data server is highlighted in Green, does that mean its the closest to me? guess im gonna have to RP

slate arrow
#

no, that just means it's your current DC

#

all DCs in the region are at the same physical location

ionic rover
#

Thats what I thought too and I did

#

its all up to date

slate arrow
#

Also, it could just be FFXIV shitting itself

#

some days looking at it wrong causes a DX error

ionic rover
#

ah yes I used that for modding ffVIII if I remember

#

works now thanks a lot

outer ember
#

hi everyone, is leveling experience similar as a white mage vs regular dps role? will i level faster as a dps role?

faint flare
#

You'll level the same

#

Probably faster as healer due to instant dungeon ques

outer ember
#

ah i see, i haven't gotten to dungeons yet

#

do you know what level i will be able to start queueing for dungeons?

faint flare
#

Lv16 ish story quest

#

cool ty

fresh lodge
#

If you're still going through the story then the level time will be the same

outer ember
#

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

leaden ginkgo
#

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?

strange coral
#

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.""

leaden ginkgo
#

ah, okay. Darn. Have to power my way through this then. haha.

dusky echo
#

if you're doing dol/doh levelling there's always the firmament

leaden ginkgo
#

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

warped ridge
#

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?

faint flare
#

Shadowbringers gives you everything

#

Regardless how you get it

clever cave
#

@leaden ginkgo yea get your left side first

faint flare
#

Se bundles old expansions into the new one to save new players money

leaden ginkgo
#

alright alright, ty

warped ridge
#

So if I buy the shadowbringers one with the starter edition, I get everything?

faint flare
#

Yes

warped ridge
#

ty

faint flare
#

Buying starter and Shadowbringers seperately is the same as buying the complete edition

warped ridge
#

And I guess this is a stupid question, but the game is it worth it? Is there a lot of active people?

faint flare
#

Very active

#

Probably

#

Very high amount of players

warped ridge
#

Is it hard to get to endgame material?

faint flare
#

No

#

Endgame mostly just resolves around time locked stuff

strange coral
#

There is a free trial you can try out before purchasing if you haven't already

faint flare
#

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

dusky echo
#

you can get into endgame on accident

warped ridge
#

I'm gonna try it out

dusky echo
#

you save your gil as you level, you'll have about 2 million

faint flare
#

Lets you get uo to lv35 on every job

dusky echo
#

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?

obsidian patio
#

You can use new game+ to replay through it

next wind
#

how does that work?

obsidian patio
#

It has the raid and trial stories now

next wind
#

is it at the inn?

obsidian patio
#

NG+ basically lets you start it from the beginning again

next wind
#

okay

obsidian patio
#

It’s in the duty menu once you unlock it

faint flare
#

You unlock it at vesper bey

#

Then its added to duty main menu

next wind
#

okay gotcha, I do want to have savages unlocked though, can I keep them in my duty finder or progress will be reset?

obsidian patio
#

From Old Man Xehanort the whimsical fellow

shrewd nimbus
#

Would It be best to max my main job doing msq before branching out to the others?

obsidian patio
#

It won’t affect those

faint flare
#

You can pause and back out of NG+ when you want

next wind
#

okay cool so basically it resets the storyline but not the duty finder progress? That's excellent

faint flare
#

And resume whenever

next wind
#

ohh great!

that's awesome! is the story worth it? Seemed super cool 🙂

faint flare
#

If you like CHEESE and wibbly wobbly timey rhymy stuff

next wind
#

okay lol, I'll give it a go anyway, thanks!

round walrus
#

whats the best mount to get with the irregular tomestone of law difficulty-to-get-wise

obsidian patio
#

Ixion since it’s from a world boss

round walrus
#

oohh cool i wanted ixion anyway

#

are those maps worth it to get?

obsidian patio
#

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

round walrus
#

oh sweet cuz there are a lot of them

#

also people fly in this game?

obsidian patio
#

Yes

round walrus
#

wow thats great I cant wait for that

next wind
#

can all 50lvl ex be soled? I struggled with the Moogle king and Ramuh with my MCH, managed with PLD

faint flare
#

Yes

next wind
#

I mean I'm sure pld can but MCH? was I just not doing that well or it's actually hard with a dps?

vagrant scaffold
#

Did they take out allocating stat points?

strange coral
#

Yes

vagrant scaffold
#

What happened to the points I had allocated?

strange coral
#

OG classes have those built in as traits now

strong sphinx
#

how long does it take to get one relic weapon?

next wind
#

depends on the expansion but expect to be from days (no life) to weeks

lament wagon
#

just to get one isn't hard

strong sphinx
#

no life incoming

lament wagon
#

to upgrade it on the other hand...

next wind
#

well yea to complete, hence why I didn't bother yet xD

strong sphinx
#

i love grinding stuff like that

lament wagon
#

what relic weapon are you planning to get

strong sphinx
#

I think Dark Knight Anima the final stage

#

the red shiny one

next wind
#

ARR is the worst grind iirc

#

HW is tomestones heavy

lament wagon
#

didn't eureka suck too

next wind
#

yep that too

strong sphinx
obsidian patio
#

Group content, but the leveling itself can be done solo

strong sphinx
#

from what expansion are the Zodiac Weapons?

obsidian patio
#

ARR, the base game.

#

Anima is Heavensward, Eureka is Stormblood, and Resistance is Shadowbringers.

warped ridge
#

A nice european server?

next wind
#

Recommended server

warped ridge
#

I'm new so I don't know wich one to pick

#

Light or Chaos

obsidian patio
#

Both are pretty equal. Chaos has a bit more French people on Moogle and Light has a bit more Germans on Shiva.

warped ridge
#

You know about Spanish people maybe? Or english idc

obsidian patio
#

Spanish on the EU datacenters? No idea

#

But English speakers are everywhere in the EU worlds

next wind
#

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

vagrant scaffold
#

What are fellowships?

faint flare
#

Basically a message board

strong sphinx
#

are you able to get multiple relic weapons of one expansions, lets say for different jobs?

faint flare
#

Yes

#

You can get them all

#

If you're crazy

remote sage
#

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

obsidian patio
#

Logograms are basically like crafting recipes

next wind
#

so just I get it right, from eden verse normal I can only get 1 part right?

#

per week?

faint flare
#

Yes

obsidian patio
#

Per instance, yes.

faint flare
#

Per fight

forest laurel
#

one item from each fight per week

okay thanks

leaden ginkgo
#

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?

faint flare
#

Mass pulling is very common

#

And somewhat expected due to it speeding up the dungeon

#

And it saves healer mp

warped ridge
#

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

faint flare
#

Race doesn't matter

#

Anything apart from starting job doesn't matter at character creation

#

Itd all fluff

nova umbra
#

what is my friend supposed to do here? He can't unlock the dungeon

#

for the amdapor keep

balmy rampart
#

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?

warped nest
#

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

strange coral
warped nest
#

Thanks, Aril

quiet magnet
#

what is the medle thing and how do i get it off the screen

faint flare
#

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

quiet magnet
#

oh ya btw been meaning to ask about iron will. um it says that it like increases stuff

#

im not sure what that means

warped nest
#

!action iron will

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Iron Will** : lvl 10 GLA PLD (10.0 second cooldown)

Significantly increases enmity generation.
Effect ends upon reuse.

quiet magnet
#

enmity generation?

warped nest
#

When players attack enemy, they build enmity

silver ruin
#

aggro

warped nest
#

Or aggro

quiet magnet
#

OH

warped nest
#

Player with the highest aggro get targeted by the enemy

quiet magnet
#

wish they just put aggro instead of enemity since i didnt know what it ment

warped nest
#

So as a tank you need a mean to build aggro faster than everyone else, this is where iron will comes in

iron python
#

Is anyone here able to help with technical issues with codes on the Ps4 ?

warped nest
#

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ (this shrug is not for you Imking I was responding to the Paladin player)

silver ruin
#

can try looking it up first

warped nest
#

@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

quiet magnet
#

THANK YOU

silver ruin
#

also another thing to note, all jobs come with some kind of gauge like that

warped nest
#

They all have Simple Mode too

misty talon
#

is it scummy to wait at the end of a raid to get the loot?

quiet magnet
#

i just started playing like 5 days ago so. I try to look up what things are before asking

silver ruin
#

like end of timer?

#

or you talking alliance raids?

warped nest
#

Alliance raid or just raid?

misty talon
#

idk, the 24 man

warped nest
#

Alliance then

#

It is not scummy

silver ruin
#

theres 3 healers, and they can all be good

#

really depends on skill level

warped nest
#

Unless you are at the end of the thing and refuse to roll

#

Doesn't matter in the middle

misty talon
#

ok thx

warped ridge
#

@silver ruin What kind of healers are there? Like area healers and single targets? Or in what are they different?

warped nest
#

They all can do the same job

quiet magnet
#

im like level 10 and i think i wont plan on going in parties so i dont think ironwill will help

silver ruin
#

sch is shield, ast is shield or regen, whm is regen

warped nest
#

They just have different tools to get there

silver ruin
#

^

warped nest
#

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

silver ruin
#

you're forced to do dungeons for storyline

warped nest
#

Because you will hit a dungeon at lvl 15 msq

warped ridge
#

So if ast has both isn't that the best option to go?

warped nest
#

If you are questing alone on the open map, then it doesn't matter

silver ruin
#

ast is the hardest to master

quiet magnet
#

ya but still i assime iron will is only good when yur in a party

silver ruin
#

requires a lot of micromanaging for card system

warped nest
#

Astrologian cannot do both at the same time

silver ruin
#

^

#

is one or hte other

#

even for ast diurnal is superior

faint flare
#

You keep iron will on 24/7

silver ruin
#

aka regen

quiet magnet
#

oh

#

welp

warped ridge
#

Is there any main for dungeons? Or can you go with any of the 3?

silver ruin
#

any

warped nest
#

Iron Will doesn't do anything aside from "give more aggro"

#

Personal preference

lean pivot
#

Ast is the most fashionable, and as we all know.. fashion is endgame

silver ruin
#

ast you cant unlock till heavensward anyway

balmy juniper
#

is there a place in this discord where you ask for ppl who want to level?

faint flare
#

Only time you turn it.off is when there's another tank...even then you turn it off briefly

warped ridge
#

So the whm is a good healer to start the game?

silver ruin
#

yea they're all fine

lean pivot
#

Yes it's the only option to start

silver ruin
#

yea sch doesnt get unlocked till lv 30 for acanist

warped nest
#

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

silver ruin
#

^

warped nest
#

Regen heals more but it does it automatically slowly over time, cure heal less but you can keep casting it over and over again

warped ridge
#

Thanks

frail fulcrum
#

Can i playffxiv on steam using a different account, lets say an account with the pc version?

warped nest
#

So depending on how dire you or your party member need their HP back, you should decide what to use when

silver ruin
#

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

warped nest
#

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?

tawdry raft
#

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

fresh lodge
#

You need the base game either way

warped nest
#

Shadowbringers Collector Edition comes with Shadowbringers collector, Heavensward standard, and Stormblood standard

tawdry raft
#

Have the base game

pallid eagle
#

sigh

fresh lodge
#

Then the complete collection is pointless

#

Shadowbringers comes with Heavensward and Stormblood as a base

tawdry raft
#

The Starter Edition counts as base game right

fresh lodge
#

Yes

warped nest
#

Shadowbringers Collector is Shadowbringers with a few extra goodies

#

Shadowbringers itself always include Heavensward and Stormblood

lavish vortex
#

Hi! The best weapons for each class are relic weapons?

lean pivot
#

No

tawdry raft
#

Ok, the info boxes ddint mention that for either of their store pages

junior yacht
#

not right now

warped nest
#

Yes, but not right now

junior yacht
#

right now the best weapons are the ones from Savage

lean pivot
#

Relic used to be the endgame

warped nest
#

It is the best at the very end of an expansion

junior yacht
#

the Relic will be slightly better right before the next expansion comes out

lavish vortex
#

How so? Is it something relative or something that changes? Depending on what?

faint flare
#

Savage weapons will be the best until the.end of the expansion

#

Relics upgrade slowly as patches.go on

#

Usually every X.X5 patch

lavish vortex
#

Oh, I see, so relic are like upgradable?

faint flare
#

Yes

junior yacht
#

that is their distinguishing feature yes

#

but the upgrades are limited by patch

warped nest
#

It is a side content you can grind for

junior yacht
#

and it's not until the final patch(es) of the expansion that they overtake Savage weapons

lavish vortex
#

Got it, and savage weapons are fixed? And as of right now, the most powerful?

faint flare
#

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

lavish vortex
#

Hmm, so I see it’s not like a definitive thing... thanks for clarifying

warped nest
#

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

lavish vortex
#

And you get both of them as end content grinding?

#

By both I mean savage and relic

faint flare
#

Relic the casual endgame grind

#

Savage is the higher up endgame grind

warped nest
#

If relic weapon beats savage early on, then there is no reason to grind savage

faint flare
pallid eagle
#

Least punishing class would be drg ?

faint flare
#

So they leave it until the end of the expansion where shit doesn't matter

warped nest
#

What do you mean by punishing?

#

Intense rotation?

obsidian patio
#

In terms of easy damage rotation? Probably red mage.

warped nest
#

Or forgiving with player mistake?

obsidian patio
#

Easy in general would be White Mage

pallid eagle
#

Yesh modt forgivinv

warped nest
#

sick knot
#

I don’t play Triple Triad but I have the Diabolos Hollow and Argath Thadalfus cards. What should I do with them?

warped nest
#

You can sell them for MGP if you want to

sick knot
#

If I click use, what does that do?

warped nest
#

@pallid eagle are we comparing it to all DPS?

obsidian patio
#

It adds it to your TT card Collection

warped nest
#

Or just melee dps?

pallid eagle
#

Ranged/melee

warped nest
#

Does that include mages?

sick knot
#

@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?

obsidian patio
#

Character > Gold Saucer > Triple Triad

warped nest
#

If mage is included, then what Wynne said is correct, Red Mage is forgiving with player mistake.

pallid eagle
#

No casters

warped nest
#

I personally would put Dancer there too

#

Dancer then

sick knot
#

@obsidian patio thank you! 👍

#

I’ll just add them to my deck then. I don’t even use the market board right now anyway.

warped nest
#

Just don't make too many mistakes heh XD

pallid eagle
#

Pwople saying drg snd bard ?

warped nest
#

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

faint flare
#

You use flare in aoe

warped nest
#

!action flare

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Flare** : lvl 50 BLM (8 None) (2.5 second cooldown)

Deals fire damage to target and all enemies nearby it with a potency of 260 for the first enemy, and 40% less for all remaining enemies.
Additional Effect: Grants Astral Fire III and removes Umbral Ice
Duration: 15s

warped nest
#

Because it will kill your MP

faint flare
#

800 is the minimum

warped nest
#

And it is not worth doing the extra steps needed to go back to Umbral Ice 3

obsidian patio
#

Longer cast time

faint flare
#

The cast time and fact it takes all mana makes ir not worth it in ST

warped nest
#

No

#

You want to use B3 to convert

faint flare
#

Cast to.long and the wait for mana doesn't make the slight damage worth it

#

You delay your rotation too much

warped nest
#

Unless it is somehow the final sliver of health, then it is whatever

#

Yes

faint flare
#

Yea, cauae its a fuck ton of damage

warped nest
#

Cuz the potency is worth it

faint flare
#

In aoe

quiet magnet
#

um why those it do this when i pick my level 1 attack

obsidian patio
#

It’s a combo

warped nest
#

Even just hitting 3 enemies is close to 600 potency

obsidian patio
#

!action riot blade

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Riot Blade** : lvl 4 GLA PLD (2.5 second cooldown)

Delivers an attack with a potency of 100.
Combo Action: Fast Blade
Combo Potency: 300 Combo Bonus: Restores MP

quiet magnet
#

so use 4 when i got a combo

pallid eagle
#

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

faint flare
#

The glowing skill do more damage

quiet magnet
#

oh

warped nest
#

Fast Blade - > Riot Blade

faint flare
#

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

warped nest
#

!action fast blade

faint flare
#

Always follow through on your combos

#

Its rarely ever correct to break it

warped nest
#

Was fast Blade not the correct command?

obsidian patio
#

Kupo seems to be acting up a bit

faint flare
#

@obsidian patio

pallid eagle
#

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

obsidian patio
#

i didn't delete any kupo messages lately

warped nest
#

find somethijg with lleast button pressing and not fast pased
@pallid eagle Machinist, dancer, Bard, Samurai, or ninja

#

In this order

pallid eagle
#

Also csrpwl tunnel

warped nest
#

Machinist has very low button count and its rotation doesn't have any RNG on it

next wind
#

I thought nin was quiet hard to play?

#

& sam

obsidian patio
#

Ninja gets pretty button mashy during trick attack

faint flare
#

Outside of trick its just doing combo and pressing shit om cooldown

#

Only busy in trick

obsidian patio
#

but samurai is actually quite chill once you're out of the opener

faint flare
#

Most jobs are busy every minute or so

pallid eagle
#

Hmm seems mch prob interesting but dunno

warped nest
#

Well... The criteria is button press and not fast pace... So ninja beat Dragoon/Monk on that

#

Dragoon is surprisingly busier that you imagine

next wind
#

I'm playing mch and it's great for learning harder fights as the rotation is fixed and forgiving

pallid eagle
#

Ah really ?

faint flare
#

The issue is machinist is THE carpal tunnel inducing job

#

Due to Hypercharge

warped nest
#

Dancer is a lot of RNG, but its button count is the lowest, and the job isn't super fast pace in itself

faint flare
#

Unless yoy do the high ping rotation i guess

warped nest
#

It is only fast because you need to track and react to all the procs

next wind
#

carpal tunnel?

faint flare
#

Which involves not weaving gauss and richo

next wind
#

oh that's another way of saying smashing buttons 😄

pallid eagle
#

Hmm

little swift
#

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

signal garnet

if you're looking for stats though, that stuff is not super needed

just eat something cheap

Why nit

Not losing anything for it

pallid eagle
#

Well im only 72 still struggling

#

for drg

little swift
#

no one expects you to be a god at your job

leaden ginkgo
#

So for each savage run it drops just 1 coffer? for 8 players to roll for? twice a week?

slate arrow
#

depends on the floor

junior yacht
#

70 DRG rotation is: alternate combos

leaden ginkgo
#

for fulmination

jade quartz
#

There are some top-parsing players and speedclearers who click their skills.

faint flare
#

For 5s there's 3 coffers

junior yacht
#

for 8s, yes, there is one weapon coffer

orchid condor
#

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

leaden ginkgo
#

so its 2 books for sure for 8s (1 per run), and 2 coffers to roll for right? or are the books RNG?

jade quartz
#

@orchid condor you can only gain reputation with the GC your FC is registered with.

faint flare
#

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

orchid condor
#

@jade quartz Can i switch that? so we can get more exp

faint flare
#

faint flare
#

Otherwise its lost forever

jade quartz
#

doesn't matter what GC your members are in

leaden ginkgo
#

thanks a lot for the info

jade quartz
#

also the FC standing rank doesn't mean much anyway.

#

I wouldn't worry about it.

orchid condor
#

i more am wanting to level up the FC,and ive noticed that GC standing gives us exp

jade quartz
#

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.

orchid condor
#

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

jade quartz
#

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.

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

latent bloom
#

@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.

limpid lynx
#

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

latent bloom
#

First off, find a Novice Network

limpid lynx
#

oh, those work independently from FCs?

I suppose I could also briefly leave theirs until I'm leveled enough

latent bloom
#

Yes. They are "supposed" to be focused on newbie players.

jade quartz
#

The Novice Network is a server-wide chat channel

#

nothing to do with FCs

latent bloom

limpid lynx
#

oh, nice

#

...remind me how to get into those? I go to the main hub and type in a command?

jade quartz
#

Depending on the server some can be trash fires of drama and unhelpfulness though

latent bloom
#

Mentor invites you to one

jade quartz
#

Shout in a main hub for someone to invite you

limpid lynx
#

gotcha

#

I'm on primal lamia...hopefully it will be alright!

latent bloom
#

You'll be fine. It's what Mentors are supposed to do

orchid condor
#

@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

latent bloom
#

It is 15. Satasha

orchid condor
#

also think 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:

latent bloom
#

Nope. Tam Tara is 16

orchid condor
jade quartz
#

Yes, higher-levels sync down to 16

mental garnet
#

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?

jade quartz
#

actually that might be 18

#

@mental garnet nope, now there is at least some tax anywhere v_v

mental garnet
#

gotcha

jade quartz
#

Now for extremely expensive items people prefer to trade through PF

#

avoid all taxes

mental garnet
#

ah, makes sense

#

i'm just buying a set of level 80 gear

#

since i'm woefully behind on msq

#

still mid-SB

jade quartz
#

I wouldn't really recommend buying level 80 gear now

orchid condor
#

mid sb but lvl 80 think ?

jade quartz
#

since there's no content where it will be useful to you

orchid condor
#

^

mental garnet
#

i've done all my dailies on one class

orchid condor
#

its just gonna level you down for your dungeons and story stuff

#

story instances*

mental garnet
#

for a month or so

sweet crane
#

@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

mental garnet
#

yeah but i want to do unsync stuff

#

like WT and anima

latent bloom
#

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

orchid condor
#

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

silver ruin
#

can server hop for cheaper prices in your data center

orchid condor
#

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?

mental garnet
#

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

orchid condor
#

yeah Zephyr, if you have the gil i guess you could buy a set of HQ Neo-Ishgardian gear o3o

latent bloom
#

It looks nice at least

mental garnet
#

i'm still rocking augmented shire since i'm not through stormblood yet --> no scaevan

little swift
#

Should be swapping it with dungeon and msq gear now

#

By like lv65

mental garnet
#

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

little swift
#

That's fairuse what you can

#

290 is fine

#

Until you can get better

mental garnet
#

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

jade quartz
#

It's not gonna be that important for unsyncing stuff

#

Interact with a gathering location underwater.

little swift
#

Do You have truth of oceans on

sonic wing
#

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?

little swift
#

Use terebinth

#

Oh to return to black yes

Do you have fathom on? @fossil basin

zealous token
#

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?

faint flare
#

Submit a ticket and learn to never click shady ass links from random people while you wait for a response

#

Not much else you can really do

mild ermine
#

Where do we get Ronkan gear now? Can we even?

faint flare
#

Hunt currency

jade quartz
#

PLD is extremely simple

#

What are you confused about?

mild ermine
#

@faint flare You mean the seals?

#

To help/assist the other tank

#

Or maybe save someones life

jade quartz
#

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

leaden ginkgo
#

Location Question:

Is the Ghimlyt Dark located in the southwesternmost area of the Garlean Empire or the southeasternmost?

jade quartz
#

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

faint flare
#

@mild ermine ronkan is via sacks of nuts

jade quartz
#

Requiescat -> Holy Spirit, Holy Spirit, Holy Spirit, Holy Spirit, Confiteor

mild ermine
#

@faint flare I .. don't know what that is honestly lol

leaden ginkgo
#

I don't know why I'm thinking The Burn for some odd reason. They need a more indepth map.

mild ermine
#

I don't think I've ever seen that

faint flare
#

Shadowbringers hunt currency

jade quartz
#

uh

#

you don't need to do anything special

#

Requiescat covers five GCDs

obsidian patio
#

I think even the base GCD can fit in 5

jade quartz
#

yeah

#

it's just your rotation

#

it's not like you're racing

leaden ginkgo
#

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.

sturdy mason
#

In my res macro, how do you do the little green/red arrows in the chat message?

obsidian patio
#

it becomes a lot simpler once you hit 72

mild ermine
#

@faint flare There's a hunt board for that too right? Like specifically in shadow bringers, like there is one for Stormblood and Heavensward ?

leaden ginkgo
#

Funny enough I'm only 71 xD

faint flare
#

Yed

obsidian patio
#

then it becomes Freeze > T4 > sometimes F3 > Flare > Flare > repeat

mild ermine
#

Where?

faint flare
#

Crystarium

leaden ginkgo
#

Ah, okay.

faint flare
#

And eulmore

mild ermine
#

Oki ty so much

jade quartz
#

@sturdy mason that's the auto-translate dictionary: start typing a term and then hit tab to search the auto-translate dictionary for it.

leaden ginkgo
#

Why Fire 3 on an AOE target though, @obsidian patio ?

obsidian patio
#

Astral Fire potency boost

faint flare
#

To give make flare do more

jade quartz
#

Terms within the atlarrowsatrwill display in the reader's client language.

obsidian patio
#

it's more worthwhile when you have triple cast to use on the flares

faint flare
#

Though with alot of targets, skipping the fire 3 is optimal

safe compass
#

is there a simple guide on Sam?

obsidian patio

!faq samrotation

#
Samurai Rotation Guide
jade quartz
#

Fire 3 puts you into Astral Fire 3, which makes your first Flare be buffed by Astral Fire 3

obsidian patio
#

You start with the opener and then you do a loop of Cooldown > Filler > burst

nova umbra
jade quartz
#

Going straight into Flare from ice phase means your first flare will not be buffed by AF3

leaden ginkgo
#

ah ok.

safe compass
#

recently obtained Samurai and didn't expect to get almost all the skills at 50 so trying to get used to it

obsidian patio
#

@nova umbra Voice of No Return, from the YorHa alliance raid story

prime kite
#

Hai I was wondering why are streamers using addons like pasers arnt they against TOS ?

obsidian patio
#

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.

faint flare
#

As long as you aint a dick and harass with them, se doesn't mind

#

Personal use is ok

jade quartz
#

Strictly speaking yes, they are against the ToS

#

but realistically SE knows a majority of raiders use them

faint flare
#

And if they banned the raiders, game is ded

obsidian patio
#

SE has never banned anyone using them in the WF race even if they're visible

jade quartz
#

SE officially acknowledges players who get world-first clears on new raids

#

even though those players have ACT clearly visible running on their streams.

obsidian patio
#

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

faint flare
#

Basically play nicely with your toys and daddy SE wont have to take them away

#

And dont cheat naturally

prime kite
#

What about combat plug in that like PvP (putting skills into one command?)

jade quartz
#

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

obsidian patio
#

I've seen gifs of it

leaden ginkgo
#

And, if they wanted you to be able to do that, they wouldn't have made the macro system like they did

obsidian patio
#

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

leaden ginkgo
#

Like, if it isn't possible in the current macro system, there's probably a good reason :p

prime kite
#

Yeah I seen people suggesting this but knowing it's against TOS

faint flare
#

Pixies and spam dungeons

leaden ginkgo
#

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

faint flare
#

Beg a healer to give insta ques

leaden ginkgo
#

Honestly, for some ques. Begging random healers for help may well take less time 😂

Anyone can trade eye of wind to me? Hopefully this isn't against the rules :(

#

If I outlevel an armor piece, is there any reason to keep it??

#

I'm out of armoury room

faint flare
#

Do you have better

vagrant scaffold
#

ANd I simply can't remember what my options are since I haven't played in a while

faint flare
#

Or plans to level jobs that will use that gear

vagrant scaffold
#

Hmm maybe? I dunno.

faint flare
#

If not, get rid of it

vagrant scaffold
#

No plans atm I suppose

faint flare
#

You get re get everything more or less

vagrant scaffold
#

Ah ok

jovial sierra
#

is there a guide on the moogle tome stuff?

faint flare
#

You run dungeons with the moogle sign

#

Get tomes

vagrant scaffold
#

I guess since I am not going to use them anymore, I should desynth them? THey have full spiritbond. Is that still a thing?

faint flare
#

Spend them on stuff at the interate moogle

jovial sierra
#

whre do i spend them and is there only 1 shop?

vagrant scaffold
#

THey are kind of taking up inv space

faint flare
#

In major cities

obsidian patio
#

Spiritbond has changed to where extracting the materia from the equipment no longer destroys it

vagrant scaffold
#

What!

#

Wow

#

So you can just get materia out of gear over and over or?

obsidian patio
#

Yes, it resets to 1% after extracting

leaden ginkgo
#

@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

strong sphinx
#

Once I used a booster for a job, can i still get to play through the job quest for the job story?

vagrant scaffold
#

Glamour chest?

faint flare
#

No

vagrant scaffold
#

Hmm I'm going to have to look this one up

leaden ginkgo
#

Yes, your cosmetic things

obsidian patio
#

They mean the glamour dresser

leaden ginkgo
#

Oh that

#

Right duh

faint flare
#

Skip pots explicitly state you skip the job quests

leaden ginkgo
#

Haven't used it in a while

ornate creek
#

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?

faint flare
#

Msq is top priority

#

Most the content is extra dungeons

obsidian patio
#

The only one I’d worry about is the crystal tower questline as that will eventually become part of the story in 5.3

faint flare
#

^

vagrant scaffold
#

This glamour stuff seems a lot more complicated than I remember. Really cool though!

ornate creek
#

Okay ty!

leaden ginkgo
#

@vagrant scaffold depending on when you last played, it's simpler

vagrant scaffold
#

Does glamouring destroy the item?

leaden ginkgo
#

There's a single glamour prism, for example

faint flare
#

No

leaden ginkgo
#

Basically the only thing you need for glamour are prisms, and those are like a dime a dozen

vagrant scaffold
#

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?

leaden ginkgo
#

Oh but, put anything you can in the armory chest first before trying to put it in the dresser

warped nest
#

The prism creates an illusion over the item, if I need to make an analog

leaden ginkgo
#

Yeah, there aren't levels anymore @vagrant scaffold

#

(for prisms)

warped nest
#

Prisms had levels and type

#

Now it is just 1 universal prism

obsidian patio
#

It was a nightmare managing 35 different types of prisms

leaden ginkgo
#

Also, could someone explain Glamour plates too him? They're definitely important, but idk if I could do a sufficient job

vagrant scaffold
#

I think they had different based on gear type as well maybe? Still a thing or truly just one proism to rule them all?

obsidian patio
#

One for everything

#

No more crafter-specific or ilvl-specific prisms
