Oh that sounds super nice
So I'm trying to find the quest Elite and Dangerous, but I can't seem to anywhere. I checked my journal to see if I did the prereq quests and I have completed "Let the hunt Begin"
You have the option to mix weapons, armors, and even accessories glamours into a single plate
But I don't see any of the steps after that, and I don't see any quest I can pick up after that either
I'm super confused
Oh man I gotta check this new system out!
It used to be such a pain to do a whole gear set!

You can then choose to link the plate to gearset
And as long as you swap gearset inside cities, the plate will automatically apply the glamour onto your armors
This is nice for players that share gears but doesn't want to share glamour
@mild ermine there’s no
near the inn or the quest “Top Marks” in Idyllshire?
!myglamour war
!myglamour drk
Same armors, different glamour plate linked to my DRK and WAR gearset
Automatically applied when I swap inside cities
@obsidian patio Nope I can't find anything of the sorts.
I'm back tracking as much as possible.
Very cool, thanks for the info everyone!
What hunt bills does it show when you interact with the hunt board in Ishgard?
So according to the wiki, it says that "Let the Clan hunt begin" comes after "Let the hunt begin" I have the latter, but I can't find the former .
Very cool, thanks for the info everyone!
@vagrant scaffold last bit of info
Uh lemme see
Yeah?
Level 1,2,3, and Elite
Dyes can be applied to your fashion piece directly before you use them as glamour
But you can also dye them in the plate separately
Then you got all of the HW hunts if it lets you take them
However, the dye in the plate doesn't save to the fashion gear
What should I do next?
Because I still can't find "Elite and Dangerous" so I can do the hunts for ShB
SB hunts quests are in Kugane, with SHB in the Crystarium
Good to know, thanks! So if I do it beforehand it saves
Say I dyed a hat red. Now everytime I make a new plate with this hat, the plate will copy the red. However, if I dye one of the plate's hat with silver dye, then the silver only exists within the plate
So if you remove the plate, the silver dye is gone
Yes
Okay I found that!
pretty much everything in the moogle tome shop is obtainable by other means right
like the mounts
All except the necklace
the shiba necklace?
Yes
wb the qiqirn earrings?
FATE drop
So I need to buy glamour prisms somewhere? Is buying them on the marketboard a scam?
One of the larger scale fates from Heavensward IIRC
you can get them with grand company seals
Marketboard is pretty reasonable most of the time
are riding maps a good investment with moogle tomes? or can they be somehwat easily obtained elsewhere?
Nope
Riding maps are obsolete next patch for the most part
Those maps will be virtually useless in 5.3 when ARR zones gets flying
As they don’t boost flying speed
Unless you haven't finished 2.0 story yet
i'm almost through the msq right before heavensward i believe
What do the gear improvement and augmentation NPCs in Idyllshire do?\
so basically the shiba necklace for glamour and mounts are my best use of moogle tomes?
Necklace and explicitly the ixion mount are the recommended ones
The music rolls might sell for a lot if they haven’t crashed on your server
Then the bird and dogs i guess
So check those
Tomestone gear still traded for in Mor Dhona?
Yes
Is there a huge disparity with choosing a class that does not fit the race?
For level 50 gear, yes
Oh
the ixion, bird, and dog u speak of are the ones htat cost 50 tomes right
Thanks... Hrothgar RDM now you stay
are those recommended because they're harder to get than the other mounts offered?
Yeah
Oh but, put anything you can in the armory chest first before trying to put it in the dresser
@leaden ginkgo
Why this?
@warped nest actually if my friend (pc) can play on my steam?
Armoire they mean. But items in there can be accessed through the dresser
Without taking up slots in the dresser
@vagrant scaffold the armoire doesn't cost glamour prisms, and has more storage. But not everything can be put in there
Armoire
Yeah sorry
Keep missing that since that's what I can't stop calling it in my head xD
Lvl 50 AF, achievement items, and Seasonal items can go into armoire
@frail fulcrum I won't know if a PC player can login with a steam client
if i do msq roulette and get castrum meridianum or prae will i also get moogle tomes along with the roulette poetics?
ok great tyvm
Is there a cross world linkshell for Outfoxed on Aether?
if a queue pops while i'm in a cutscene will i be able to see and accept it
Yes
But putting things in glamour removes from inv yeah?
Into thw dresser yes, it stores the item
You can retrieve it later without Messing up plates
where do i get elm lumber? and how do i hire a retainer?
Is there a limit to how many things you can have glamoured?
Everything can be glamoured
@vagrant scaffold no, the glamour is saved on the item itself
So as many pieces of gear as you have.
The dresser itself stores 400 items
So I can only have 400 pieces of glamour at a time saved?
In the dresser
If I want a selection to choose from
The dresser is just a method for easily applying glamours to multiple items at once via glamour plates
as well as just a storage space
@faint flare can't you just out it on glamour plates?
However, there is no "cap" on how many pieces of gear you can have a glamour item applied to.
where do i get elm lumber? and how do i hire a retainer?
Hey soif I desynth I WILL NOT lose my items right?
you will.
Desynthesis = destroying the item to gain materials.
Oh

@late musk hire retainers by going to the retainer vocate in major cities
@late musk elm lumber is crafted, bought from other players on the marketboard, or purchased from material supplier vendors in housing districts.
@faint flare i cant hire one she says she wont hire me one
Are you on trial
@faint flare ?
Or not past a point in the main story
@late musk you must complete the level 17 quest "The Scions of the Seventh Dawn"
@jade quartz thats it then lol
who do i go to to craft elm lumber?
because its currently being sold on market for like 3000
And trial is the game trial @late musk . Basically, you need to have bought the game.
Craft elm lumber yourself with carpentry
You really shouldn't need, or want, to make money this early :P
@leaden ginkgo i bought game and expansion
Or find a crafter who will do it for you
It's a level 16 carpenter recipe
Like, you can of course. But I want to make sure there's a reason your want to
I'd recommend going to the housing district vendors I mentioned
they sell elm lumber for 78 gil each.
@leaden ginkgo just to buy materials to make more stuff. im more interested in the crafting in the game as of now
Oh I see
im lvl 12 mar. but 20 in black smith and 15 in armor
just trying to lvl up more
and want to sell stuff to do that
Very strongly recommend you prioritise your main combat job and doing the main questline.
So things like combo plugin's are no no right (puts PvE skills one button like PvP ones) ? (Sorry ill delete this if not allowed)
Better opportunities and resources for leveling your crafters are unlocked in this way.
@prime kite against the ToS yes
@prime kite If they wanted you to use them, they would have designed the macro system to allow you too, so yes.
Oh this would been a massive cure for people who has CTS/RSI
@jade quartz ok how do i get to housing district?
As you're only level 12, you haven't unlocked teleportation to them from main city aetheryte yet v_v
Accessibility is still a very new topic for a lot of developers
I think XIV have only added color blind supports (?) last year?
@jade quartz so the estate hall for my fc isnt it?
Primal Exampel for DPS in PvP would make easier for PVE (for those suffers from CTS/RSI)
is there a way to skip the quests post ultimate weapon and into heavensward?
@jade quartz got it thanks
What location is your FC house in?
There's a scenario skip potion on Mogstation
@jade quartz mist i think
Cool
I've just unlocked Heaven-on-High, I've done a bit of Palace of the Dead - is it essentially the same thing?
oh besides buying the scenario skip i have to actually run all of these?
Yes it is
Near the beach, at "Seagaze Markets" on the map, there are vendors
You want the material supplier.
HoH has a few differences but majority the same
@jade quartz thank you
@prime kite I have no idea about the extent, or symptoms, of that condition so forgive me if I'm overreaching. But would it be possible that a controller would be easier to use? I ask because that does require arguably less finger movement, which I assume is at least partly a factor.
Namely its much shorter (100 floors vs 200), slightly different pomanders and you have magicite to summon primals to wipe the floor
What if person don't own a controller or have USB Space ?
Are the rewards for HoH similarly cosmetic
Yes
The primary draw is the exp for leveling dps classes without long queues.
@prime kite I mean, that's kind of specific. USB space shouldn't be an issue- afaik any computer can easily expand USB space if need be.
As for owning a controller, idk, a lot of games are more easily played with them in general so may be a good investment anyway.
I'm not saying it's ideal, but if it were a solution to the problem you weren't aware of I thought I should point it out. Particularly because it was possible you assumed the controller setup for FF wasn't any good due to being an MMO (it is good).
Sorry, I didn't want to overreach or anything. Personally I just prefer to explore all possible options
And just in case; by "expand USB space" I don't neccesarily mean manually changeing the computer inside it's case- there are USB multi-adapters that should help that scenario, I've used one before.
(which I could understand not knowing exist)
If that person had money ofc
bleh setting up controller for drg gonna be hard for me (may consider putting up dono goal for it)
I own the SB collectors edition but I misplaced my Chicken Knife. Is there a way to get another one?
Is HW crafting considered the worst of all the expansions and should I just rush through it to 61 and buy SB gear?
So if a glamour is on a plate, does it stay there even if I get rid of the equipment?
Your glamour plate is like a template
You don't actually have it on
you are copying the glamour from the template
onto your current armor
Ahhh
Whose sick idea was it to have a mandatory dungeon in an area where you cannot do anything else REEEEE
So if I no longer have the glamour on top of the equipped item it won't work?
So you have
Chestguards of the Rhino
You take out your glameour plate
which is a template for how you want to look
you apply it
It applies the chest glamour from your template onto your Chestguards of the Rhino
It's permanently, on THAT piece
until dispelled
with a glamor dispel item
How much gil is required for Ceremony of eternal bonding?
Right so let's say on the plate I had some other chestguard for the glamour right? Then I sell or get rid of that chestguard I was using for the glamour. Can I then apply it still?
From the plate?
Ohhh
So i can have as many things to glamour as are available?
No
item is not consumed
You can take out of the wardrobe
Putting an item into the wardrobe consumes ONE glamour shard thingy
removing it costs nothing
How do you start leveling delivery carrier? I want the postmoogle hat and cant find where to start that questline
naw, the glam chest can just be used as storage if you really want to
So if you take it out after it's on a plate, what happens?

It says you need delivery carrier 25 for it on this guide (the quest isnt there in Limsa for me as a whm)
"The little postmoogle that could" at least, but idk if there is a quest before it
Anyone have any idea why my hotbars got rearranged after a roullette?
Nvrm I fighured it out
Didn't have em locked and accidentally right clicked on the number
You can deactivate the numbers and the hotbar-switching buttons to ensure that doesn't happen
Ok so I unlocked Gunbreaker and I am just immediately overwhelmed with actions and such. How do y'all go about wrapping your head around this? I do a lot better when I start slower
look at the skills one at a time?
probably watch a short vid on the class
Since the second highest result had shown me you want some GNB refresher. Here it is in the compressed 5-minute version.
I hope you like it and if you want the comprehensive guide, check this out:

Can try starting with lower-level dungeons synced down
Or just hit a dummy
and take all your actions off your bar
then add them back on one at a time
Sorry for the long post
But it is a serious problem, we need to stop their harrassment
Hello everyone, So I just started playing this game a few days ago and I'm about to hit free trial cap (I'm lvl30). So before I invest money. I just want to know whether or not the "time cards" run while I am offline. Thanks
@tawny echo yes they run while you're offline
Hi @leaden ginkgo - while I appreciate your concerns this is not an appropriate outlet for it
hey do you know where i can find dps and healing overlays for dungeons
@sleek roost thanks, where should i post it?
@tawny echo it runs all the time, so if you pay for a month it lasts 30 days from when you buy it
This channel is for 14-related questions. I'll flick you a PM in a second
I havent seen much bulli here
It's unrelated to this Discord Mac. Taken care of so moving back on-topic please (:
@slate arrow @pliant cosmos I see, Thank you. I saw "time card" so I just assume it's for in-game related. I just needed clarifications, I'm going to buy it either way....thanks again.
@tawny echo have you bought the starter edition yet
no
@tawny echo just a quick thing, I suggest not getting time cards and instead paying on mog station with crysta
since A) its $2 cheaper (unless you want multiple characters, then just do the $15/month) and B) it wont boot your card as often
wait I need to buy the starter edition?
yes
and to get past level 50, you need to buy the expansions
Shadowbringers comes with all previous expansions so you can just buy that one
^ buying the game comes with a "free" month though
@tawny echo its 20% off on Newegg right now
so $48
for the complete edition, which is base game+all DLC so far
oh lol
So basically I already have the "full game" since I downloaded the launcher and everything. I just have to buy the "key"/shadowbringers to unlock the content correct?
Shadowbringers will have more downloading required.
Likely you only have the base game.
You do not have the content hiding locked on your hard-drive.
The Starter Edition gives you A Realm Reborn (the base game) and 30 days of sub time.
Shadowbringers purchase gives you all three expansions: Heavensward, Stormblood, and Shadowbringers.
The "Complete Edition" is effectively just Starter Edition and Shadowbringers combined into a single purchase.
I think they mean they have the trial and the starter edition unlocks everything
everything in ARR
and you will have to download everything from the expansions
Joining a preferred world is recommended
^
Don't expect them to have noticeably low populations.
if its preferred it wont be low pop for long
and if you dont like the server, you can switch ever 30is days iirc
Server transfers cost real money.
not anymore
Yes anymore.
theyre now free, just time limited according to mog station
That's not correct.
I'm confused between tonberry and typhon in Japan
You may be misinterpreting the free transfers that are offered to people moving from congested to preferred servers
no, also not true
Changing your home world costs money
Yes
it says it right there.
You can visit other servers on your datacentre with no limits
no time limit
no nothing
however, changing your home world
costs money
ah, thats where I was confused
regardless if you're moving to another world in your current DC, or moving DCs.
cause Ive used visiting
Your home world is the only place where you can own a house, be in a Free Company, be in world-limited linkshells, get married, sell things on the marketboard
than i think I'll use preferred server bounus after lvling enough will transfer with money
one or two other small things
I wouldnt worry about transfer, most things are instanced
@whole lagoon you will have no reason to transfer.
There is no drawback to a preferred server.
It is not low-population
and within one patch cycle will probably be higher-than-average population.
They are bursting with new players.
yeah with corona virus most people are playing on every server
naw, game is pretty much back to stable. at least for US servers
just in general.
the US is going back to work so its back to normal numbers
World populations constantly fluctuate around each other slightly.
Yes, and normal numbers are balanced.
When a world falls a tiny bit behind it becomes preferred.
oh ok didn't know that sorry from asia
And within 90 days or so it will be back to roughly equal.
And then other worlds will become preferred.
It's the unofficial English-language world on JP servers
ah
Many Australian, New Zealand and SEA-English players.
Kujata is the second one
Tonberry is so high-pop because it was established as this unofficial English server long before the population balancing incentives (preferred worlds etc.) were introduced.
So a lot of players have just always been there.
I would like to stress however that those charts there are not fully accurate info and come with a lot of caveats
yeah that's the thing many reddit threads i have read said other server mostly have Japanese population most of them do not use translate
eh
Elemental datacentre in general has a lot of non-Japanese players
apart from Tonberry and Kujata for English-speakers, there are servers where Singaporean, Malaysian, Thai, Korean etc. players congregate I believe

What do rogue do for large dungeon pulls before lv38?
is there a good resource for returning (well basically new, I leveled to 50 when the game came out and never realllly knew what i was doing to begin with) or a way to replay the tutorial
you may be able to replay the "brand new" quests
@autumn pumice I would just do some low level dungeons
I’m 25 now
yeah low levels you just single target and cry as NIN
its like that for most melees
Ill try that, I sorta want to try to complete the main quest and go samurai and just learn from there
you can do that too, if you are at 50 you are right at the end
but I feel like it might be hard to complete the main quest when i literally have no idea what my abilities do
im at like a level 46 main quest rn
The smith gave excellent training quest
Does legacy movement still exist? cant find it in config
Data Center
ooo
basically, same server
i dont wanna like, take all of anyones time or anything, but i appreciate it, itd be cool to add you though, I could definitely use a new friend in the game!
Until now I thought DC was disconnected
naw, its no problem. I like helping others
fair warning though, i only play WHM
(white mage, sorry)
@regal mirage its that too
I am a engineer, we use the same acronyms and letters for 30 different things, it translates into my daily life...
no need to warn me lol i wouldnt know if that's a bad thing or a good thing anyway lol!
I just wont be able to help with rotations for other classes
all I know is the heal
go ahead and add me if you need some help, ill be around for another hr or 2 tonight
that goes for anyone on primal
How exactly do i add you lol?
Names are useless without the server but the thought is appreciated
Im trying to navigate this player search thing
Player Search only searches your current server iirc
Does legacy movement still exist? cant find it in config
@normal kraken yes it does. its under character config > general
ah, so thats what character config is for
are you in ultros by chance? if not idk how to do cross world searching
nah im on leviathan
one sec I am trying to set up a party finder thingy
I wish you could reset the main quest =/
alright, go to party finder and look for a Sastasha dungeon party
pass is 2222
party finder is here btw
Okay I feel like I like I'm crazy
But I cannot find Angler Canvases
The Wiki says scrip exchange for 500 yellow gatherers
But I cannot find it in any of the exchange vendors under an menu
are you looking at the right vendorb
Am I just... really dumb?
Why do the MSQ gear rewards suck so much
@regal mirage under level 50 or over level 50
Gives lv 10 gear then you are 24
you're probably overrleveled then
@ivory hare Scrip exchange -> Gatherer's Scrip Exchange (Level 70) -> items -> other
I'm at the guy in Ralgr's reach who supposedly sells them
And he only has White Scrip options
Look for the quest “Reach Long and Prosper”
Does Hw extreme primals gives you mount?
Got them now. Thank you so much
is there anything useful i can spend my phantasmagorias on? besides crafting mats
i dont need any gear but im about to cap out
@dry ocean yes, birds (lanners)
HW extreme primals give the bird mounts
SB primals drop the doggos
Collecting all doggos gives the Kamuy of the Nine Tails
just as collecting all HW lanners gives the firebird
Storm blood or shadow bringers?
Theyre both Sb
ShB = Shadowbringers.
Oh kekeek
Shadowbringers primals drop gwibers--magic cute dragons.
Ayt this will keep me going
You spoiled it but thanks anyway
that is art
There is not yet a special mount for collecting all the Gwibers, as there are future trials to come out which will have more gwibers.
Seven
You get krin gwiber
Six in ARR
Ohh okok
Seven in the expansions
What is the kirin equivalent of every expansion?
I uh
just went over em
:S
ARR = Kirin
HW = Firebird
SB = Kamuy of the Nine Tails
ShB = doesn't exist yet
There are still patches
Yes
Thankssss
Three more major patches to come, which will contain three more EX trials which drop gwibers
5.3 when?
We don't know
It has been delayed due to the COVID-19 lockdown in Japan
I see
Likely at least a month away from now.
Im not rushing since im still post Hw
Can someone tell me the basic Monk aoe rotation for someone around level 56?
My friend picked up Monk despite what I told her, and it's her very first class. I was checking her damage to check her progression, and it was extremely low. I don't know how to play Monk myself, so if someone could give me the Monk rotation, that would help.
!faq mnkguide
take the rotation here, remove what you don't have, level 56 rotation
She isn't accustomed to playing mmos, or games in general, so I kind of advised against it, but she's stubborn.
And thank you.
If I transfer servers after an Eternal Bond, will the ring function if I or my partner meet with World Visit?
Ok so I'm trying to switch to a DPS from a healer and I find pretty much my whole right side to be unacceptably low ilvl. I'm level 60 (trying to go to DNC) - what's the best way to quickly get up to date on that side? Quests? Marketboard?
I imagine picking up Scaevan gear at Rhalgrs Reach
DNC comes with some pretty good gear tho
Lvl 60 though. That's lvl 70
oh yeah
Didn't come with any accessories :/
Shire then
All of mine are suited for healing
Idylshire
Couldnt remember the name. Shire gear is your best bet
And is that from quests or...?
Shire gear is at idyllshire
Tomes
you have to be quite a ways into heavensward
can be traded for tomestones of poetics at hismena
Itll be your best gear roughly to 65
I can trade tomes at Idyllshire? Cool, I'll look around for it, thanks
its inside the center building
Idyllshire has a lot of useful things including that. Give it a good check and you'll have a lot of fun stuff to do
Thanks everyone!
pet Goblin lover Ya, when in doubt about what to use tomes on, just check in with her.
At least until the Reach
Gah I accidentally bought the ilvl 230 gear instead of 260 orz
Are you out of tomes?
Essentially. I was going to try to get some new gear for my healer as well
Emergency tomes can be gotten from roulettes. Itll say with blank in need
Haha oh well I'll have to deal with it later. I have no clue how long I've been at 2000. I forgot there was a cap
Well thanks for the help!
any reason to do the ARR Chronicles of a New Era before starting Heavensward, or can I put those off for a bit
The 24 man ARR will be required from 5.3 forward so get that done. Other than that, they are just really fun content
for gear progression from 50-60 should i just wait till i can equip shire armor at lvl 60?
no
thanks
use the quest armor
oh so dont even use shire armor?
ye, use whatever has higher item level
which, the 2nd set you get from the MSQ gives you iirc
No. You get it from lvl 60 class quest.
ye
But point still stands. Best lvl gear
just click that "use sugested armor" untill you reach 80 (or thats what ive been told)
get the best ilvl stuff
Moreorless if you arent going for endgame.
the only issue with use suggested gear is it doesn't
- check your inventory, only your armoury chest
- can equip you with ALL CLASSES stuff
long way to go before endgame for me
which is not always the right thing you should be using
in that case what should i use my poetics on?
!faq poetics
if you have access to shire gear
oh dam
its better than class gear
I knew it!
shire lasted me to 65
class gear is always the "i just hit the end of the expansion/jobquests" kinda thing
Got a GTX 1660 Super. Always getting <60 FPS when not in cinematic. Exactly the same whether at max or lowest settings. Is that normal?
correction, macguffin, AUGMENTED shire should last you to about 65
unaugmented you should replace bits by 63
^^
thats right
I was using unaugment , but forgot when it changed
are you in super busy areas?
there is never a reason to just sit on tome gear if the game hands you better stuff
hw and sb punish that a bit on tanks
by like lv65 in stormblood, defense on those items almsot double but your ilvl goes up like 10
there is a huge jump in SB
Capped at 72 fps. Ryzen 2600X. 4.0 GHz @little swift Alone. Just me and enemies
yeah i wasnt really sure if they were gonna give better ilvl gear later on in between level caps but that makes sense
What can you do in Ishgardian Restoration without crafters and gatherers?
so i unlocked all the alexander raids but there to unlock alexander savage
its at mor dhona IIRC
What can you do in Ishgardian Restoration without crafters and gatherers?
@crimson wind you can do the sidequest chain if your server is finished up to the most recent level of restoration
mmk
can you have 2 wondrous trails
pic for hearshot
If you mean the wondrous tails books you can only have 1 at a time
What’s the fastest way to farm the Gladiator class?
Hunt log to 16, then spam dungeons
!faq altlvlguide
I recommend putting your longer cooldown moves on your second set
Put your bread and butter combo on the face button
Your frequest GCDs should be on your first set
facebutton ?
Move your AOE to your 2nd cross hotbar
Single target combo on RT and LT's face button
Sorry this confusing me 😦 first timer
Face buttons are the XYAB or Cross circle Tri square
Seriously, you don't want your bread and butter combo on the dpad
you want to be able to move and shoot stab the boss at the same time
unless you have back paddles your primary GCDs should be on the face buttons
grrr nm acually give up this controller isn't cooperating with me
You just don't know what you are doing
OK, remove everything
Start from scratch
One sec, let me check the combo firsy
True Thrust, Disembowel, chaos, Wheeling Thrust on one side, face buttons
AOE is Doom Spike > Sonic Thrust > Torment
True Thrust, Vorpal, I forgot, fang and Claw on the other side's face button
i don't think you need to put aoe combo on your first main cross hotbar
you don't use it that much
Then you put your life of Dragoon, nastrod, star dive, jump etc on all the dpads
for first one ?
true vorpal full/ true disembowel chaos/ fang&claw wheeling raiden
those things need to be on first bar
Don't put that on the dpad
Use your face buttons
You don't want to move and use weaponskill at the same time
don't use DPAD unless you really have to
Your left thumb to move, right thumb for bread and butter combo
Then on dpads, you put skills you use frequently
unless you play with some sort of absurd claw grip for your sanity you really should put your combo actions on ABXY/face buttons
Do many people play pvp? I want some gloves for a glamour so I need to play a few matches but I was in an hour long queue before I gave up. I'm only level 35 so that might be the problem?
when i press 2-3 keeps rotationg my damn screen not actavting the buttons
It depends on what PvP content you are queueing for
all of them
GRR sorry this really casuing me to stress
currently, rival wings is where most of the population is right now
except being a minimum of level 30 and finished the job unlock quest
due to the tomestone event running
when i press 2-3 keeps rotationg my damn screen not actavting the buttons
@pallid eagle what did you pressed?
Oh okay thanks. Where do I do that? I heard about frontline roulette but didn't know what it was. I haven't PVPed before though, and only two were available for me which were training/ranked.
idk seriously
Did you press Left/Right Trigger + whatever button on your controller?
Or did you press something else?
Did you hold any trigger or bumper when you did it?
did you hold down a trigger
Can you take a screenshot?
Yeah and doesn't work well
Oh okay thanks. Where do I do that? I heard about frontline roulette but didn't know what it was. I haven't PVPed before though, and only two were available for me which were training/ranked.
@wet compass Roulette is on the first page of your Duty finder
@wet compass the quest needed to unlock. go to your specific grand company to get the
for it
if oyu don't already have it
There is a chance that XIV just works like crap with offbrand controller
Yeah that what seems to be problem
when is the next xpac expected to be released?
Summer 2021
ok thx
Given that that's when most expansions release
So what controller works well then ?
don't own a PS4 or xbox
Xbox and Dual Shock
eh maybe give or take 10 bucks
dualshock 4 and Xbox One controllers are the best ones
Last time I saw a dualshock price it was 89
everything else is a crapshoot
For PC gaming, I personally recommend Xbox controller
you can get a cheaper logitech xbox controller for like 30 bucks on amazing last i checked
Alternatively, Power-A Switch controllers are pretty alright if you can get Steam Overly to work with them nicely
just anything that's not officially licensed tends to be a crapshoot
Can anyone here help with installing act I'm just stuck at this and it doesnt install
Anyone that can help me with "Emanation"que? I'm 2 hours in que now and just want to proceed :P
is this Emanation normal?
if so you're a bit past peak online hours
it is in trial roulette so maybe you'll haev some more luck tomorrow
or you can put up a party finder
if you're super eager to progress
I can queue up with you if you are on the same server
you have both aether and primal
4 years sold
i just found it hiding behind a shelf
So can someone show me example for hotbar setup
What time server time does daily roulettes reset?
!reset
0 Days, 8 Hours, 38 Minutes, 51 Seconds
0 Days, 13 Hours, 38 Minutes, 51 Seconds
6 Days, 1 Hours, 38 Minutes, 51 Seconds
2 Days, 1 Hours, 38 Minutes, 51 Seconds
3 Days, 19 Hours, 38 Minutes, 51 Seconds
3 Days, 12 Hours, 38 Minutes, 51 Seconds
3 Days, 5 Hours, 38 Minutes, 51 Seconds
aye thanks
drakeos try #protips-and-ui
ctrl+U will show timers
kupobot usually pings the channels when reset happens too
is it possible to undersize burden of the father savage
yet to do any savage content but a friend and i want to run it for a weapon or two
is road to 70 both stacked with fc heart of battle ?
something like this ?
Yes @leaden ginkgo
I can't think of xp buffs that don't stack apart from the items which specifically state they don't stack (that you get from gc squadrons)
Around how much health does a maxed out tank have?
depends on gear
cant warrior almost get to 200k
with a temporary buff
@warped nest check up
Oh ok that’s still insane
well.
highly geared melee dps have 120k
and ranged physical*
its the damage they take that is the real clincher
for instance. I literally sit in an aoe on Eden 6 Savage
for more uptime
on my dark knight
any other class would drop dead
*non tank class
Unless you want to use your left thumb to move and left index to press dpad
Ah so both L2>R2 Dpad uses the combos ?
can i get help with alexander raid? just want to get alexandrian gear for weapon
From left to right, cross hotbar is
LT Dpad
LT Face
RT Dpad
RT Face
you need to assign yourself a data center friendo
Find a striking dummy and test out your crosshotbar control
Make sure you move around as you use the combos
I'm doing the XI collab event
I know we get her armor but where can I get her weapon?
alot of the harder to solo content is done with a paladin. But I mean each fight has its demons
Also I don't believe you can get her weapon @steep heron
i was just asking because i plan on unlocking gnb soon and there is a lot of 50/60 content i lack
so i thought level 80 gnb is good
But its so nice looking D:
but in that case i guess any tank is good when it’s level 80 doing 50/60 unsync
PLD Clemency lets it get away with a lot of stuff. Aurora and 123 combo are nice but not AS nice
yeah if its just a dungeon. Doesn't matter
if its a raid? well. thats gonna require more thought
is there any tank with a similar skill like the blackest knight ? i gotta say that skill is like super cheesy
also I just confirmed. You can't get Iroha's weapon @steep heron For any time you wanna know what an NPC is using. use garlandtools.org
a lovely little database of all things FFXIV
TBN? no.
TBN is dark knight's 1 claim to fame
Not every skill has a clone for the other tanks
thanks silver I chcked there first but figured Id ask anyway
Paladins have good ranged dps, Warriors have innate crits, Gunbreakers have self-regen and tons of tools
For soloing stuff pld would be best
Dark Knights have The Blackest Night
They got the best self sustain when solo
the only reason i’m iffy on just picking paladin is because i have to start from one but the self healing is the most popular thing i hear
Like if its lv 50 content u can solo it on all classes
Lv 60 can be a bit iffy and depends on the fight if you can even solo it
So far the only job I've soloed all HW EX on is PLD
You'll lose out on a bit of dps with pld cuz you'd be using mana on heals, but being able to use it more often will keep you alive much better
ok well then i guess PLD is the winner but how can i level it ? every time i start a new class it’s already super hard ( dps main )
Likewise, You can do more mitigation with GNB by just doing Keen Edge + Brutal Shell combo
guess who does?
You have much shorter queues for dungeons on tanks
!faq altlvlguide
thats right! tank mains!
sooo a friend tried entering a RAF code (they registered a retail copy of the game) but i didnt get a confirmation email saying they used the code, and the code enter screen is no longer on their account, is there something we can do to double check it worked? cause i didnt get the chocobo feathers either, but tanother friend did the same thing and it worked right
Instead of doing the whole combo
Yeah this pad thing confuses me more sorry
idk im just stuck and stemped 😦 j
@silver ruin did your friend already sub?
Have you play action games with a controller before?
you lose the ability to get RAF'd if you've already subbed
no
they started playing less than 2 weeks ago they're onthe included 30 days
OK, then I have nothing
and it was 2 diff codes
The idea is, with controller, we are trying to let both our hand do different jobs
So, when your left thumb moves your character
Your right thumb will press skills
That's why skill you press often always go on your right thumb
that reddit link is golden ^ thank you so much
Like how you move with WASD with your left hand, and use mouse click with your right hand to shoot people in their face
Real quick. Sorta not being paying this conversation a ton of attention. Any reason you're not just swapping over to Keyboard and mouse controls?
Yes
No im going from kb+m > controller
yes
Yes
why are you going to controller may I ask?
I did it for my Dragoon, because it feels more natural
Yeah, we do that too, @ancient rain
It will work
If you're used to kb+m. Why not just stay the course?
Again. trying really hard to just offer suggestions without sounding like an asshole
If you don't know this already, you can enable an option to hide unassigned slots, no comp
Should make your cooldown tracking hotbar cleaner
You can craft
yeah it should be around forever
The progression toward the World's restoration is done, but you can still craft
there is grid snapping
when moving hotbars
should be an option. give it a hunt
No.
all ishguard resto stuff is automatic
sorry i should give up on this controller idea too hard for me
I don't personally understand why you're moving to controller
if you're used to keyboard is all
its 20
I can't do keybinding's
you mean you can't press 1,2,3,4,5 and such?
cause mosly been doing this https://www.twitch.tv/drakeosvr/clip/TemperedFitDiscUncleNox?filter=clips&range=7d&sort=time clicking skills as well as 1,2,3,4,5
idk
right well you need to break that habit
you're occupying your fingers with irrelevant movement
that you could be using on your skills
I recommend using keys around WASD for buttons
Yea i can't do that
haw?
Anyone on ps4 wanna link up and run some trials
ok well if you can't do that. And you can't get the hang of a controller
platform doesn't matter here
How do I set it so it stops auto targeting my allies
thats fine. But you aren't going to be able to perform very well
everyone plays on the same servers
Ohhh
I've always wondered about that
which if thats ok with you then thats also fine. But if you wanted to move into more challenging content
I always play with people from different data centers. what are the data centers even for
your only option is to break your habitual moving
Anyone wanna run some trials then
Data centers are physical different machines
you can't play with people from different datacenters
Eventually, maybe. For now, nope.
Prob cause i was being warey of mechanics and TRYING not to die/get hit hence why i was moving alot
datacenter cannot interact with each other, best you can do is play with people on different servers within your datacenter
Data Center is collection of World
one thing you could try is using or buying a mouse with buttons on its side, a lot of players, including me who has motor problems with my left hand, uses a mouse like that
ok well. your other option I can think of
is an mmo mouse with just a ridiculous amount of buttons
and bind everything to that
my bad thats what I meant
yeah razer naga is one popular one since you can physically change the sidebutton layouts
Costs like 120 AUD yeah don't have that money
you could look up some budget ones
how do I set it so it stops targeting allies when i press x or the left and right d pad
are you aware that clicking both mouse buttons moves your character in the direction of your camera Drak?
If you really have no hope and you're not willing to spend money you could always just take typing lessons for a month
that also may be an idea.
No i was usinG WASD to move while clicking skills (combo rotation for dots + wheel)
right well as a step to full movement
practice dropping WASD in favor of double click and mouse-turn
I'm going to suggest this conversation be moved to #general-discussion because this conversation has happened multiple times
and using 12345
They'd just shitpost and go "haha nerd"
This conversation goes nowhere, with multiple different classes, controller, mmo mouse being suggested
Drak is going to post 1 thing and get a million Omegalul pogchamps attached his to comment in 2 seconds flat
the suggestions are either dismissed because it is too expensive or they don't want to play x class
we've provided many suggestions and answers to the problem by now, i don't know what else to suggest than actually trying to learn to use the tools that you have
there is clearly nothing we can do to help
at this point i feel like its a you problem rather than the game problem
and this conversation just fills this chat
Maybe go to #protips-and-ui?
To put it bluntly though, unless you're willing to spend money or put in effort, you're not going to be playing your job well. We can't help you out if you're not willing to learn.
at this point i feel like its a you problem rather than the game problem
The issue is accessibility is just a very new thing and XIV has limits on what it can do to help players who needed this (without affecting their gameplay performance)
Best advice we will end up with are either MMO mouses and Controller, unfortunately
I can't personally think of an MMO that would accompany the playstyle
Either way, I'm saying to drop this conversation
I agreed
Give him some slack prob has some disabilities preventing him to do things well even I read carpal tunnel and he trying controllers but confusing him to set it up since he never uses controllers
again, this conversation has repeated multiple times
I am gonna suggest using #protips-and-ui, in case #general-discussion is too crowded
But ill stop
I've been watching the whole time and the only thing I can really add is the XIV UI is verrry customizable. You can feasibly spend hours fine tuning it to suit you and your input method.
Hello does anybody knows how to fix Error Code: i2501 ? I have it for a few days now and I can't proceed payments what can I do to fix it ?
do you use a vpn?
i2501 is unfortunately a broad error so it can be a bit hard to diagnose. main suggestions are turn off any vpn you are using, try a different browser, try mobile data
How do I set it so i stop auto targeting allies in dungeons
are you using targeting filters
where do I find targeting filters?
havent really changed any settings and cant find any related to targeting
are you pressing up or down on your DPAD then
when your weapon isn't holstered it targets AI by default when pressing left or right
as well as pressing A/X
I press up and down when I want to target allies
I use left and right or press x for enemies but most of the time it just targets one of my allies instead
and I have to de target and retarget multiple times to get an enemy
definitely mess with your target filter settings instead
where do I find target filters?
sounds like you messed with them or they're locked to the wrong target filter by mistake
Guys WRONG section of discord
its probably in character config
this is questions and help
you're in the wrong section I'm trying to help him with target filters
enough about that
should be under character config somewhere
Might be control but I don't play with controller
should be character config > general > filters
my bad I was looking in system config this whole time
Hello does anybody knows how to fix Error Code: i2501 ? I have it for a few days now and I can't proceed payments what can I do to fix it ?
@quartz grovehad that as well for some time, from time to time it stopped but yeah, it was very annoying, from what i understand it also relates to the european client problem?
thats what mine is set to
hey Kael
default
i see
its something triggering their payment system
remember what i mentioned a few minutes ago?
mhm
when you're making the service account, right?

ok
Is the levelling daily dungeon based off of 24 hours from when you did it or does it actually reset at a certain time every day
times each day
Anyway of finding that out
I forget the bot command. is !faq reset or just !reset
!daily
that also works
Thank you! 🙂
I think if his country isn't on the list he can choose a country, just make sure he remembers what country he puts in. I wanna say that's what tsun had to do but i'm not 100% sure. since I remember tsun talking about choosing an EU country because euro is cheaper for him than dollar
Is there a link to all the text commands in game?
Like the <t> <pos> type commands they use for relays
the macros menu has a list
<t> <pos> <tt> are the ones i remember off the bat
Ooh really? Does it list them all out?
I googled. you should google too
some people prefer to talk to others when it comes to stuff
@marble drift thank you for the attitude lol. Why are you even in this chat if you’re not wanting to help willingly
I’m asking in this section cause I’m going on hunt trains and want help on people’s expertise
hate me all you want.
do remember... there is a moderator watching.
I forgot my account/email that had arr, stormblood and shb, will contacting square enix do me any good?
probably
i'd recommend it
hm ok, will do then
I belive they are still delayed because of the pandemic
So the response is probably going to be delayed
ohhhh ok
send one anyway. They'll get to it
For placeholders like <pos> and others with < >, there's this page in particular https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/playguide/db/text_command/placeholder/
ima send them a ticket then try and check through my millions of emails lol, tysm guys
@jade quartz thank you! Exactly what I was looking for 🙂
Didn’t know what they were called exactly
I should ding 50 tomorrow should i save my daily roulette for once i hit 50?
uhh why?
it's daily, you'll get another reward the next day
do it once everyday
you can't 'save up' your daily
I have used my one for today. I was just wondering if it was worth to do it prior or after hitting 50
Due to getting poetics
if you're talking about leveling roulette, you won't get poetics from it
so for that one it doesn't matter
Duty roulette
