ornate folio
#

o boi

wintry chasm
#

It looks more than it is

#

A lot of that is common sense

leaden ginkgo
#

Probably easier to find something to help if we know what exactly your looking for. leveling, gear, what to buy, what to play, what content to do....

pine bluff
#

@ornate folio I wouldn't try to 'read up' on the game like a manual, just experience it slowly at your pace

#

and then if you come across anything you don't understand, well that's what this channel is for

little swift
#

basically the most important ones are do your MSQ msq and do your class quests as you unlock them bluequest

wintry chasm
#

also not all bluequest are class quests

median locust
#

Game also has some short but informative pop ups when you get introduced to something new.

ornate folio
#

alright kk

little swift
#

also don't skip the active help green โ”

#

since tehy answer a lot of the questions you might end up asking :^)

wintry chasm
#

^ which is what Fissie mentioned

leaden ginkgo
#

^, I'll also add, some of them seem less important then they are.
If you want to be thorough, read through all of them and try to remember as much as you can.

If you don't feel like it that's fine too of course. But I would have wanted this advice given to me when I started, which is why I mention it.

safe niche

Guys, I'm a veteran Wow/Aion player that is starting fresh on FFXIV. Any tips referring to questing ? Do I stick to main quests only and not the side ones ? Thanks.

leaden ginkgo
#

@safe niche just read up a few posts I think

agile laurel
#

you can get the leveling you need solely via msq

#

check bluequest for sidequests that unlock something

leaden ginkgo
#

^

median locust
#

Main Story unlocks 99% of content and is mandatory. Side quests are usually poor in exp so they're not really worth doing.

agile laurel
#

could be a hat, could be a dungeon

median locust
#

And yes, do sidequests that unlock stuff with that icon

leaden ginkgo
#

Hello, anyone doing the Fox Lady quest? I did the three quests and now waiting the heron to see if the elder spawns.

safe niche
#

thanks a lot guys

agile laurel
#

@leaden ginkgo probs best to check your local hunts discord/linkshell, most cover achi/unlock FATEs

leaden ginkgo
#

is it here on this server?

agile laurel
#

uh

#

can't recall how i found the link for mine

leaden ginkgo
#

It's cool, can you invite me there, then?

agile laurel
leaden ginkgo
#

ok thanks

median locust
sand flame
#

location wise, any good suggestion for gpose shots for blm or drk?

median locust
#

I really like Mor Dhona, right behind where you unlock the Labyrinth of the Ancients, personally. Looks pretty with the Crystal Tower in the background

#

Especially at night

sand flame
#

hmm

#

wow

#

I really like this!

#

thank you!

median locust
#

No prob :p

nova umbra
median locust
#

Because they're not custom deliveries, they're effectively just job quests you do once and then you're done

nova umbra
#

oh :0

#

so they're not time gated

median locust
#

Nope!

nova umbra
#

neat, thanks :3

median locust
#

There's only one custom delivery client in Shadowbringers right now, you unlock him after beating the 5.1 MSQ

leaden ginkgo
#

Hi there, everyone ๐Ÿ™‚ a bit new here lol had a a dew questions if thats alright?

#

few lol

pine bluff
#

thats what this channel's for!

leaden ginkgo
#

I recent got the starter edition for free during the promo thing last month. does that mean I get to keep the whole base game for free or will I need to actually buy the complete edition if I wanna play after the free trail runs out?

median locust
#

You keep the whole base game for free, but you'll still have to pay a subscription once the free 30 days end to keep playing

leaden ginkgo
#

alright thanks! so if i wanted the expansions which are on sale I can just buy shadowbringer?

pine bluff
#

yep

median locust
#

Yep, Shadowbringers includes every expansion so buy Shadowbringers and you're set

mortal root
#

hey! should i get the gathering/crafting relics? my current gear has identical stats excluding the extra 6 cp i have

gritty oracle
#

If I want to contribute to spawning ghost currents and use baits instead of the vers lure, how much am I supposed to buy of each?

#

Also, does friendship circlet affect fishing xp?

median locust
#

According to consolegameswiki, it does, never tested it myself though

vocal venture
#

Does someone knows exactly by how much % the Road to 70 Buff is

median locust
#

100%

#

It's just double exp

vocal venture
#

oh woah nice

wintry chasm
#

yeah double xp and generally doubles any xp boosting effects

It does stack with the Aetherite Earring right?

wintry chasm
#

Yes

#

That would make the earrings +60%

#

instead of +30%

tulip plover
#

What the hell is up with this game and throwing random cool trailers at you

wintry chasm
#

It stacks with everything

vocal venture
#

Man i wish i could use that for DoL and DoH

wintry chasm
#

wdym Booty?

tulip plover
#

Like i put my gamw on sleep and turned it on and this cool trailer was playing showing off all thr cool classes and the fact you can change classes

wintry chasm
#

oh

#

a lot of games have that when you afk on a main screen

#

least they did back in the day

pine bluff
#

is there any gear I can get for level 60 sam at the very early parts of HW? I know shire stuff is much later

tulip plover
#

Now i cant wait till gunbreaker

#

But all the other classes look so cool too ๐Ÿ˜ซ

pine bluff
#

we all go through the struggle @tulip plover

median locust
#

Ishgard vendors sell iLv255 NQ gear for gil, I don't think that's MSQ locked as long as you can reach Ishgard

pine bluff
#

hmm ok, I guess that'll have to do for now

tulip plover
#

And the title screen song is cool as hell

pine bluff
#

btw @tulip plover just letting you know before admins get mad at you, this channel is very strictly for question + answer only

tulip plover
#

Ok

nova umbra
twilit arch
#

the shirt icon means you can glamour them

wintry chasm
#

You can put glamour on them at that point

twilit arch

it unlocks once you hit max rep with them

nova umbra

oh.. lol

vocal venture
#

Accross the 3 NA data Centers they population its balanced right? i just made a Character in Crystal and just wondering If it's not like dead or something

pine bluff
#

ive seen people talk about like '2.34' sks, where do you go to see what your sks is?

little swift
#

character profile

pine bluff
#

all I see for skill speed is '422' which seems different

forest laurel
little swift
#

2.34 is the GCD recast that is scaled to that sks tier

pine bluff
#

hmm so how do you calculate it?

little swift
#

!faq stats

zinc orbitBOT
little swift
#

!xivmath rpspeed 2.34

#

frick i did it wrong

twilit arch
#

you can also see what your gcd is when you mouse over a weaponskill/spell

#

Recast time is your gcd

pine bluff
#

ohh ok 'recast'?

dim ridge
#

question for a friend, there's no rar/torrent for patches for this game right? told him probs not but he's on hotspot internet atm and the patch isn't really going at a reasonable speed

pine bluff
#

right ok

twilit arch
#

!action true thrust

zinc orbitBOT

**True Thrust** : lvl 1 LNC DRG (2.5 second cooldown)

bah thats right it doesn't show recast

@dim ridge no afaik

ty

leaden ginkgo
#

got another quick question, which server should I go in to look for people to play with? I'd like to make some friends and start running through the game together ๐Ÿ™‚

tulip plover
#

Uh so i died and waited for someone to revive me but he wqlked past me how do i revive myself

#

On ps4 btw

pine bluff
#

there should be a popup you can bring back up to go back to town

#

look at the bottom right

faint flare
#

Press and hold the release/return button

pine bluff
#

what happened to my materia?

faint flare
#

Its doing nothing

#

You hit the stat cap on the gear

#

And extra determination via materia is lost

pine bluff
#

oh ok how can you tell that?

little swift
#

you can take it out

#

its ok

faint flare
#

It says om the meld window

pine bluff
#

as in how can you tell before melding it?

faint flare
#

At the bottom

twilit arch
#

!faq melding

zinc orbitBOT
#
Materia & Melding FAQ
Info

How do I unlock melding?

Complete Forging the Spirit (materia extract/npc melding) and Waking the Spirit (player melding) in Central Thanalan.

How can I get my gear melded?

To meld visible Materia slots a NPC melder in any major city will do (marked with a Blue Materia icon on the map). To overmeld gear you'll need to request another player to meld your gear or to do it yourself.

Why can't I meld this Materia to my stuff?

Every Tier of Materia has a minimum item level requirement that gear must meet to allow melding of that Tier. Tier 6 Materia requires an item level of 290 while Tiers 7 and 8 require an item level of 420.

Why is my meld giving +0 stats?

Every item has a maximum amount of stats that can be given through melding and the natural stats found on the gear. This can be seen at the bottom of the Materia Melding menu, as seen in the picture below.

The secondary stat with a higher number is already at the cap and cannot be further melded.

pine bluff
#

right.. I should read before melding huh, haha

little swift
#

it'll say xstat/ystat

spice stratus
#

@leaden ginkgo Your answer highly depends on whether you're looking to play on an NA, EU or even JP server! If you're EU and looking for a high-pop server, I can recommend Odin or Shiva.

tulip plover
#

Do skills level by themselves?

median locust
#

Can you elaborate on that? Skills don't level.

tulip plover
#

Oh ok you answered it

little swift
#

population of a specific server isn't too important in the grand scheme of things. all instanced content is matched across the entire data center

#

if you don't have any requirements like joining friends' worlds you can join a preferred world for the sweet double exp gained from all sources on all jobs/classes under level 70

spice stratus
#

^ what they said

tulip plover
#

Is there a section on here to find other new players or people with newer characters to play with

spice stratus
#

I don't think so? You can check people's discord roles to have a vague idea of where they play and what they play, but i don't think anything indicates their veteran status

#

except maybe the Mentor status

tulip plover
#

Ah ok

little swift
#

if you know your datacenter

#

and other similar channels

#

see if there are otehr new players around

tulip plover
#

Ok

leaden ginkgo
#

I'm a new player as well. I'm playing on ps4 so I think it's on a NA server. double ex for everything sounds awesome! which server doesn't matter to much as long as I got a group to play with ๐Ÿ™‚

magic light
#

for sophia

#

do i go to the side with 1 ball or 2 balls

#

i'm guessing 1 ball

little swift
#

you can play on any server you want @leaden ginkgo

#

!faq datacenterip

Datacenter IP Addresses
Info

List of IP Addresses for each Datacenter

Aether: 204.2.229.9
Primal: 204.2.229.10
Crystal: 204.2.229.11
Chaos: 195.82.50.9

Mana: 124.150.157.156
Gaia: 124.150.157.157
Elemental: 124.150.157.158

how do I ping the IP?

Windows: Open Command Prompt and type ping *insert IP Address here*
Mac: Open Terminal and type ping *insert IP Address here*

median locust
#

Away from the side with the most balls

little swift
#

check your ping from there

#

and then you can decide

#

look for a preferred server

spice stratus
#

@magic light Are you talking about Sofia NM or EX ?

little swift
#

you can use the !preferred command in #kupo-bot-spam to check it out

magic light
#

nm

spice stratus
#

@magic light The balls (blue ones that is) have a weight of 1 in NM (this changes in EX), so the side with the most of them will be the heavier side, which will tilt in that direction.

crimson wind
#

So which floors can i get the HoH hairstyle from? I've looked and haven't found any definitive answers

median locust
#

Any floor as far as I know, but it's extremely rare

twilit arch

silver sack drop from accursed hoard from floor 1-29

tulip plover
#

How can you tell what part of the map leads to what on thr mini map

spice stratus
#

I don't quite understand your question ?

slate arrow
#

@tulip plover there's no auto-pathing, it's mostly just trial and error

tulip plover
#

Wow

#

So if i wanna heas to lower la noscea i just gotta find it

spice stratus
#

Um

#

You can press M to open the map, and see which entrance/exit leads to where on the maps

faint flare
#

If you're close enough/open up the zone map it tells you what leads where

remote lintel
#

can you report someone for being afk

#

not vote dismiss

#

are there like actual consequences for leeching

spice stratus
#

Yes, you can.

remote lintel
#

how?

spice stratus
#

Support Desk

#

i assume

strange coral
#

If you mean AFK in a dungeon, like praetorium, you can bring up the party member window with O on keyboard or Party -> Party Members menu, right click and vote kick, choose AFK reason

Hey, just hit level 60 and am wrapping up the 3.0 content after taking a multi-year break. Should I be spending my poetics on Shire gear? Anything for me to keep in mind?

spice stratus
#

You can also buy Shire gear upgrades to 270 with the selfsame poetics

lime shuttle
#

Ok got it, a lot has changed in a few years ๐Ÿ™‚

spice stratus
#

One thing to keep in mind : the NPC that sells Shire gear ALSO sells Primal Gear which is the same price but 30 ilvls lower than Shire so don't mix them up and spend your poetics on the wrong set.

lime shuttle
#

Yeah about that....

#

Lesson learned!

spice stratus
#

.... too late ?

little swift
#

!faq poetics

zinc orbitBOT
spice stratus

little swift
#

all the poetics info is in here

lime shuttle
#

Too late but like whatevs

#

Oh awesome, thank you!

patent tusk
#

Do the side quests in the waking sands reward you with anything important?

spice stratus
#

Define "important" ?

remote lintel
#

if it's blue yes

spice stratus
#

If it's got a Blue + on it it unlocks a HM or EX trial

faint flare
#

You're required to do the quest line that starts with "a Recurring problem"

#

For story

#

Otherwise you'll get locked

#

At some point

#

It has ifirit, garuda and titan hard mode

crimson wind
#

Wtf

#

This person just gave me the hairstyle

#

For free

strong sphinx
#

I now have my first 80 job, should continue doing my duty roulette with that 80 job or start leveling another job?

#

I*

crimson wind
#

no

#

No point in it

remote lintel
#

if you want to get better gear you need to get tomestones

spice stratus
#

If you're looking to gear up the lvl80 job, you should try and get endgame currencies (tomestones of Allegory etc) from the roulettes I think .

remote lintel
#

lvl 80 roulettes give tomestones

crimson wind
#

Just buy Neo Ish imo

patent tusk
#

@spice stratus well what I mean is, if I skip out on them will I be missing out on anything that's like exclusive to those quests

strong sphinx
#

there is still this thought of not being sure if dragoon is really the one i want to stick with haha (thats the job i got 80 on first)

remote lintel
#

neo ishgardian is good for baby steps

#

but there's better gear

spice stratus
#

its not cheap depending on where you live but Neo Ishgardian is an option (crafted 480 gear)

crimson wind
#

Neo Ish will do you good for a while

#

In my opinion

remote lintel
#

but you still need to do roulettes for allegory

crimson wind
#

Because getting Crystarium gear will take a really long time

strong sphinx
#

will check that out

remote lintel
#

or do savage raids

#

if you want

#

or EX trials

spice stratus
#

@patent tusk they're the only way to unlock the Hard Mode & Extreme versions of the ARR lv50 primals so, yeah, if you want to go through the story further (requires HM mode primals) or even just get the EX mounts, you might want to do them.

strong sphinx
#

Im still playing through pre-ShB msq as well

remote lintel
#

pre or post?

strong sphinx
#

tho I will definitely continue playing the msq on a different job

#

to gain the exp

#

pre

remote lintel
#

oh

#

then yeah prob level another job

#

to get the msq exp

spice stratus
#

If you're not at Shadowbringers yet then yeah, Neo Ish gear for the 80 job + level another job through MSQ is probabyl the sensible option

remote lintel
#

he doesn't need 480 ilvl if he's not done with shb

#

there's no content that requires it then

strong sphinx
#

I must say I breezing through msq very quickly, basically started on 12th may to play ffxiv

spice stratus
#

It might ease his transition from 430 (Shb end of msq) to the endgame treadmill (450-80-90 etc)

remote lintel
#

ยฏ_(ใƒ„)_/ยฏ

spice stratus
#

and like you said, the Neo ish stuff will last him long enough until he either gets better (allegory) or 5.4 drops.

strong sphinx
#

should i look into neo ish right now?

spice stratus
#

But yeah the "cheap" option is just to keep playing MSQ and then worry about gearing up later.

remote lintel
#

if you can get it cheap sure

#

otherwise a waste of money imo when you can get decent gear for 0 gil

strong sphinx
#

alright, i will check it out the next few days but thx this cleared up a lot!

wooden sierra
#

sorry guys.. but why no one is chatting on chat in ffxiv? ๐Ÿ˜„ is everyone so busy?

twilit arch
#

most people don't use /say

#

they're either chatting in their free company chat or private linkshell channels

spice stratus
#

people usually use /tell to strike a conversation to a stranger

#

not /say

twilit arch
#

that said, if you're a new player I would suggest /shouting (if not in trial, use say if you are), in one of the starting cities (limsa is popular place) for an invite to the novice network

#

novice network being a channel similar in idea to this one, but a lot of servers also use it as a bit of a global chat channel when things are quiet

remote lintel
#

people don't usually have public conversations

#

they talk in private

wooden sierra
#

Oh.. in fact, i was curious why there is so quietly for hours..

spice stratus
#

Yep. In theory, NN is the "newbie help & social" chat

#

the /shout chat is the global map chat if you want to try letting everyone know you want to chat but you might be surprised by the answers :'>

wooden sierra
#

thanks for anwsers ๐Ÿ˜„

desert hawk
#

hello i just joined a fc and i was curious on what the fc tag does? :0

spice stratus
#

It lets everyone know whose FC you're in

#

when you visit another server your fc tag automatically gets replaced by <<Wanderer>> so there's no confusion with the existing FCs on the server

desert hawk
#

ooh i see thank you!

lilac mulch

From your heavensward job quests

#

If youโ€™re still doing the patch story for the base game you canโ€™t access them yet.

lilac mulch
#

ah yup still doing that

rich bay
#

(Like the game says it to you when you finish the L50 job/class quests)

lilac mulch
#

patch 2.4

rich bay
#

You are close to msq Before the Dawn then, that is the final 2.55 MSQ. (Coming to Ishgard is the one after that and that is 3.0)

should i just buy the level skipping thing?

#

faint flare
#

Noooo

#

Would be a waste

youre right at the point where skipping would fuck over your understanding of what happens when HW starts

is there any way to dye lvl 60 alliance raid gear

twilit arch
#

not that gear specifically no, but there is crafted gear that shares models with it

#

void ark shares models with Nightsteel/Slothskin/True Linen

#

Facet is a mixed bag

kind burrow

thanks a lot! im looking specifically at diabolic helm of fending

ruby willow
#

What level should you stop using POD to level?

kind burrow
#

depends what floors you use

twilit arch
#

Fending/Aiming/Striking are Weeping City. Healing/Casting/Maiming/Scouting are Dun Scaith

#

you should stop using potd to level at 60

ruby willow
#

Okay

#

Then do you switch to heaven on high?

twilit arch
#

use roulettes/beast tribe dailies/hunts to hit 61 and then switch to heaven on high

ruby willow
#

Mkay

#

Why not start heaven at 60?

twilit arch
#

Because heaven on high requires lvl 61 to enter

ruby willow
#

Ah okay

twilit arch
#

you can use potd to continue to 61 but the exp doesn't scale like previously

ruby willow
#

Yeah.

median locust
#

@kind burrow A useful tool to know if something has dyeable versions is http://www.garlandtools.org/db/. Look up the piece you want then click "Shared Models" and you'll get a list of pieces with the same model, that might be dyeable

How does people copy a map link?
And how does people link their skills?
(Im using pc)

median locust
#

Ctrl + Click to put down a flag on the map. <flag> in chat to post said flag's location. <pos> to post your own location

leaden ginkgo
#

That I know but during the hunt, i see people copy the location

#

I'm not sure how to explain it but i know that ctrl+ right click = mark the map, i just dont know how people copy the flag link

faint flare
#

They click the link to place the flag on their mao

#

Then use <flag>

#

In chat

#

Which puts the coordinates of wherever the flag is on your map

gritty oracle
#

Do "glamour weapons" (aka fancy weapons you can equip at lv1) exist?

faint flare
#

When you control+ right click to mark the map yourself, it should automatically put <flag> in chat for you

median locust
#

Not super shiny ones, but yes

gritty oracle
#

also they don't link their skills. They begin typing it and then press Tab, which will bring up the auto-translate function and put the name of the skill into auto-translate

median locust
#

Check the market board, select something like "Thaumaturge Arms" then go all the way to the bottom. There might also be some on Mogstation like Edda's Scythe

gritty oracle
#

auto-translate means that people with different language clients can read it as if it was their own language

leaden ginkgo
#

Okay thank you

gritty oracle
#

also you can quickly link your own location with <pos>

You could do a wild one and just try using it on a mob without having any LB

#

ok so, i've got a question. what is the best (solo) way (except a the materia money sink method) to grind out the sands for the anima weapons? i hear moonstones, but its 20k for 2 stones, i hear crafting materials and the leve method for the amber crystals

gritty oracle
#

maybe arr ex primals?

mossy tartan
#

Why canโ€™t I meld materia from the vendor to the staff โ€œmadmanโ€™s whispering rodโ€?

#

Does it need a max level weaver?

rare musk
#

hmm, i've never done them solo tbh

gritty oracle
#

Materia melders can meld anything that the gear can accept, as long as it's in a "legal" slot

#

aka the little green circles

#

wait

#

hmm

#

misread the question

#

no idea

uncut girder
#

Is self repair better than npc repair? I see i have 195% durability now.

mossy tartan
#

Ah, figured out that materia have levels and so do items

#

I got the correct materia level for the itemโ€™s needs

gritty oracle
#

yeah

#

Do different city-states have different hall of the novice arenas?

fluid escarp
#

What level do I unlock the pvp feature

gritty oracle
#

30

fluid escarp
#

Iโ€™m lv 32 tho

#

So where do I go

gritty oracle
#

to your gc

fluid escarp
#

Gc?

gritty oracle
#

fluid escarp
#

Oh

gritty oracle
#

immortal flames, adders or maelstrom

fluid escarp
#

Yh then what

#

Is it like I have to do a quest to unlock pvp?

#

At your grand company

#

fluid escarp
#

Oh ok thx

#

What do u get after beating ppl in pvp do u get cool looking outfits?

faint flare
#

You get wolf marks to buy glamour, emotes, minions etc

#

Woah thatโ€™s so cool

#

Thx for the help

Is cloud's hair in game?

#

Ah nvm it was an art context reward

#

Queue for amdapor or amdapor hard? (WHM relic ARR)

#

To fight the hydra

do you use neutral sect basically every time it comes up

scenic solstice
#

I got an extra retainer a few nights ago and today it says contract suspended 0-0

#

I am confused ;-;

faint flare
#

Did your sub run over (aka running in the next 30 days)

white isle
#

I have 100k on my other Player, where is the bank?

faint flare
#

When getting another retainer, their contract goes until your next sub pay

white isle
#

So I can transfer it

#

Over

#

Does anyone know?

faint flare
#

There's no storage shared between characters

oak ice
#

You would need a middle man or an FC chest

faint flare
#

Retainers are basically banks but don't work cross character

white isle
#

Someone told me that if I had a lot of gil, I can just store it in a bank

oak ice
#

That's the retainer, it can hold a lot of gil

faint flare
#

You can put it on your retainer

white isle
#

But you said it won't go between players

faint flare
#

But those are character dependant

white isle
#

Does anyone wanna middle man for me? It's only 100k

faint flare
#

NOTHING is cross character

oak ice
#

The retainer is basically an NPC you own

white isle
#

Thank you, I appreciate the info

#

Would anyone be willing to hold it for me and let my other Player get it

#

If not it's fine, it's only 100k

oak ice
#

Not on Aether so can't help

remote lintel
#

you could use your fc chest if you have one

faint flare
#

But you need permissions in your fc to access it

oak ice
#

Assuming they let people take out money

white isle
#

I only have fc for one of my players

#

Is anyone in aether

sinful breach
#

you could also put somethint up for sale for 100k and buy it with the character the money is on, the only downside is that there will be a 5% tax

white isle
#

Ahh I see

#

Thank you everyone

is there an in-game company recruitment tool? or is it mainly done through the forum?

leaden ginkgo

Hello, I need to ask something because I don't understand. I did the Eden runs and unlocked the savage ones, supposedly, but when I go to do them only the first one Ramuh I think, is available for me to do, and even then as a DRK, I am waiting hours and hours to no end to find people to que, is the game dead or people don't like to do eden savage anymore? Because if either is the case, I am screwed, I won't be able to get any piece of eden..

static yacht
#

never queue for eden savage in duty finder

leaden ginkgo
#

oh...

#

I am screwed then.

static yacht
#

only use party finder

#

in order to unlock the next eden savage you need to clear the one before

leaden ginkgo
#

Makes sense.

static yacht
#

there are tons of people who do eden savage still but they do party finder parties

strong sphinx
#

can I check ingame how for example a relic weapon would look on my character?

leaden ginkgo
#

I doubt anyone would want to play with me though...

#

Amendment, from what I know, never que for Savage period in duty finder.
Likewise for Extremes I think, iirc

static yacht
#

anything extreme / savage is always done via party finder

#

just find a party that says "learning party"

#

and join it

#

learn the fight

#

and then join a "clear party"

leaden ginkgo
#

Will I still get an eden gear piece or since it's learning I won't be eligible?

static yacht
#

there are tons of people who are still learning, trying to clear etc.

#

you have to beat the fight in order to get gear

#

and its random like in normal where you roll for everything

leaden ginkgo
#

Learning is what people call the party, not a definition of what it is

#

No, I mean, if i join a learning run, will it still yield drops?

static yacht
#

it depends

#

if you actually clear it

#

there's a very good chance you just repeat a mechanic over and over again

leaden ginkgo
#

I memorized some of their mechanics, some others are still hard for me to understand them and I already start to feel useless in this game..

#

Takkun, I think agios is asking if "learning" is an actual party type.
Like alliance, or light party

static yacht
#

and never actually clear it

leaden ginkgo
#

No, say we clear it, completely.

static yacht
#

then yes, you'll get loot

#

the caveat being that

#

if someone has already cleared

#

it reduces the amount of chests you get

#

typically you'll get 3 drops and everyone rolls

leaden ginkgo
#

hmm..

static yacht
#

If someone has already cleared for the week

#

it reduces the amount of items

#

anything > 5 people have cleared

#

means you get 0 drops

leaden ginkgo
#

Learning parties are functionally identical to normal parties.
They're just called learning parties so that people know players who are "learning" are playing it

static yacht
#

this resets every week on tuesday

leaden ginkgo
#

I just find it extremely tiring and limiting to have such a limitation on a sub game, if it was f2p then yeah, I would agreed with that logic.

#

I guess they really want players to be invested.

static yacht
#

They typically

#

remove the weekly lock out

#

the patch after the content comes out

#

so in 5.3, the weekly lock out will be gone

#

(for the 5.2 content)

#

5.0 content is already unlocked

leaden ginkgo
#

Oh wait, really? I read the new patch upcoming now will just remove some MSQs from the starting game, didn't know it will remove the limits, too. That changes things.

static yacht
#

yes, odd number patches are typically the "catch up patches"

leaden ginkgo
#

Main reason for the loot lockout, from what I understand, is to try to prolong the period before a person solves the fight perfectly.

It isn't to retain at time, neccesarily

#

Hmmm, then the question of mine wouldn't be "how am i gonna get all of the gear each week?" anymore, instead it will be "will people still want to play with a bad tank like me?" lmao

static yacht
#

I mean technically, you can still run it until you do the fight perfectly

#

it's just you get no drops

leaden ginkgo
#

Yeah IK

static yacht
#

dw about it and just learn the fight and improve

leaden ginkgo
#

Another option is always finding a static I suppose, but idk how possible that is

#

I am just worried about the community, had so much drama yesterday on Mt.Gulg. For no reason, and on another dungeon. People really like to tilt each other in this game.

#

(for a new person I mean)

#

In all games @leaden ginkgo

#

It's demotivating.

#

I know, it still is.

#

FF is arguably better then other MMOs generally :p

#

Especially when everyone just keeps pushing you.

#

The party finder is in the game, correct?

proud willow
#

If... everyone seems to take issue, it would be good to triple-check that you aren't doing something wrong

leaden ginkgo
#

Yes

proud willow
#

because people are pretty amazingly chill around here most of the time

#

famously so

oak ice
#

Not necessarily chill, but they don't usually call people out for doing poorly

proud willow
#

Unprovoked bad incidents still happen but they're quite far from the norm, in my experience

leaden ginkgo
#

Hiten, the issue was that I was hard pulling after a warning, we all died because dps and healer were either new or just jerking their meats together. Then I started pulling less so we can all survive, and the dps started harassing me like "zzzzz" and all that. Then we died after one big pull I did for them to get the to stop it, and the healer was complaining about the big pulls. It was like a double edged sword.

#

That is arguably different depending on server network. But shouldn't be by a huge amount

#

Don't know what to do in that situation.

#

That was one dungeon though :p

proud willow
#

oof

leaden ginkgo
#

I know healers having it the hardest and then the tanks, but I don't see much respect for either in this game, no matter what everyone says, kind of reminds me of TERA days.

proud willow
#

I would struggle in that situation too

stuck kayak
#

Eh I think it depends

leaden ginkgo
#

ikr

stuck kayak
#

Like I've ran into parties that are extremely nice

leaden ginkgo
#

^

#

same

stuck kayak
#

If it's my first run though something, Or the healer is new, everyone compensates and its a clean run

#

That said you'll always run into jerks

leaden ginkgo
#

I'm just following a logic of my own like an evangelion or something. I am always like "new here" or "want hard pulls?" I am always trying to communicate with my team.

stuck kayak
#

Yeah that's generally what I do and about 80-90% of the time it works out great

leaden ginkgo
#

It isn't this game that's the problem, is the point.
I just hate when ppl say things like that due to anecdotal evidence xp

#

^

#

If it's working great for you 80% of the time

#

There isn't an issue

stuck kayak
#

I mean, Part of it is I'm a tank and I generally run the rules "If you pull faster than the rest of the party can deal with, then you can tank the mobs"

leaden ginkgo
#

20% of people being bad doesn't mean "not much respect in the game" lol

#

If anything it means the opposite

stuck kayak
#

If bobo the clown doesn't want to wait up for the other 75% of the party who all agreed on a speed, good for him, that being said I'm not humoring him.

leaden ginkgo
#

Personally, after having 250+ hrs in this game - I know, I know, not much, hear me out - I think the game on its own, overall is just decent. I have some very mixed feelings about it, both good and bad, but maybe because I am also old and can't seem to accept it/appreciate it completely. I think the community is another part which of course we have to deal with since it's an mmorpg, it still can be demotivating if you have some jerks in your party. Unless someone has such a thick skin and don't give a rat's ass.

#

It can totally be demotivating to have jerks. That's true of every game in existence.
But don't blame the entire community for those few people, is my point

polar cairn
#

Oh boy this is interesting for a change

leaden ginkgo
#

I am blaming that specific part of the community based on my own personal experience. For someone else it might be better or worse, everyone has their own experience and logic. I think what I am trying to achieve here is make my case being heard, although this is not a question thread anymore, sorry.

warped nest
leaden ginkgo
#

Yeah that could work.

oak ice
#

This is starting to be less of a question and more of a discussion

polar cairn
#

And here come the good bois messing it up

leaden ginkgo
#

Yeah, which is why I feel bad and apologized. lol

stuck kayak
#

So semi-legitimate question, What do DPS jobs do to level

#

Generally I play tank or healer, so I just Duty spam

polar cairn
#

Dungeons

stuck kayak
#

But that's not really effective on DPS where queues are extremely long

leaden ginkgo
#

Isn't it like Dungeons/FATEs/Leves?

oak ice
#

Roulettes, dungeons/palace of the dead, beast tribes

Potd sucked for me I just waited the queue for dungeons near or at my level and leveled up every two to three dungeons

stuck kayak
#

I got a few classes to 60 with PotD

#

Easy to just chill out with some music and grind

oak ice
#

The exp it gives stops scaling at 60, so at 61 heaven on high takes over

warped nest
#

Roulette: msq, leveling, Alliance are your best 3. Trial and raid is good too

Dungeon: highest level dungeon, but not lvl 50, 60, 70

Potd/Hoh (up to lvl 70): only if roulette and dungeon has significantly worse queue time

Supplement exp:
Weekly challenge log, Fate, beast tribe, hunts bill

stuck kayak

Yeah, I was thinking about just HoH spamming

leaden ginkgo
#

Ah, I wanted to ask : Do we know when will the 5.3 will come out? Guesstimating is good, too.

warped nest
#

No clue

remote lintel
#

at least jluy

#

july

warped nest
#

Guess? Late July by earliest

oak ice
#

Estimated mid July but corona delays everything

leaden ginkgo
#

Then, possibly around Autumn I bet.

#

Worst case.

remote lintel
#

they said it was delayed to at least July so dunno

oak ice
#

It was mid June until the first delay

remote lintel
#

I don't think it would be that late

leaden ginkgo
#

Alrighty, thanks. In the meantime, I am still gonna try to grab any Eden gear I can..

oak ice
#

Gear won't be "upgraded" until 5.4, so you have a few months

leaden ginkgo
#

Excellent.

remote lintel
#

Eden gear look cool tho

leaden ginkgo
#

^^^^^^

narrow arch
#

I just hit lvl 70 DRG. I dont really understand how to change my dragon form to life of the dragon

oak ice
#

Every time you use Jump, you get the ability to use Mirage Dive

tulip plover
#

Does anyone have that weird problem where your with other people or npc but your lockon keeps clicking them instead of the enemy

oak ice
#

2 uses of Mirage Dive causes your next Geirskogul to change you into Life of the Dragon

narrow arch
#

Do I need to use dragon sight? The description says something about gaining a right eye

oak ice
#

It's a damage buff to you and the person you use it on, not a requirement for LotD

narrow arch
#

Oh, I didnโ€™t know if gaining a right eye meant I gained one half of the glowing eye bar thingy

oak ice
#

No, the glowing eye on your job gauge is from Mirage Dive

warped nest
#

The eye in your Dragon Sight is just flavor text

#

Your tooltips are usually very explicit on what they buff

#

!action Mirage Dive

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Mirage Dive** : lvl 68 DRG (1.0 second cooldown)

Delivers an attack with a potency of 300. Additional Effect: Strengthens the gaze of your Dragon Gauge by 1 if under the effect of Blood of the Dragon or Life of the Dragon Can only be executed when Dive Ready.

oak ice
#

@tulip plover I assume you use a controller, so can't help, sorry

leaden ginkgo
#

Sorry, last thing, which option should I pick from all of those? The yellow ones. I am lost and anxious about which one to pick or not.

narrow arch
#

And once Iโ€™m in life of the dragon I should try to use nastrond as much as possible?

oak ice
#

Yes

faint flare
#

Dont que for savage

slate arrow
#

you can use nastrond up to 3 times every life

faint flare
#

You'll never get in

jade quartz
#

You are unlikely to get a group that way @leaden ginkgo

remote lintel
#

use party finder @leaden ginkgo

and if you do get one, you are unlikely to clear.

leaden ginkgo
#

Ah yeah, they told me to use party finder, how do I do that?

remote lintel
#

#

@leaden ginkgo use party finder for savage, only JP servers really use duty finder seriously

oak ice
#

#

#

using controller, I'll find it.

#

#

Please read the party description before you join them, don't join a "farm" or "1 chest" party when it is your first time

#

You will get yelled at

leaden ginkgo
#

this one right?

#

Ye

leaden ginkgo
#

Nice.

faint flare
#

Yes, find learning parties for Fulmination

oak ice
#

The purple mean face is high end duties like Savage

leaden ginkgo
#

faint flare
#

Yes

warped nest
#

Yes

leaden ginkgo
#

ok, sorry, guys.

#

Thanks.

warped nest
#

We also recommend watching a video guide

leaden ginkgo
#

I think I might...

#

This is what I did for Titania.

#

The ONLY dungeon that gave me trouble.

faint flare
#

Going blind for savage isnt recommended unless you clearly advertise it and get people together for it

warped nest
#

What Vinyl said

nimble holly
#

are airships/subs worth investing in? what kind of loot do you get from them?

faint flare
#

Savage is basically the point you SHOULD know what you're doing job wise

leaden ginkgo
#

I am a weird mechanical player myself, usually I learn and memorize by experiencing it, but I think a video will seriously help me.

faint flare
#

And just learn mechanics through learning pulls

leaden ginkgo
#

Hmm..

patent tusk
#

I'm a tank and I just got to the first 8 player trial but I have no clue how trials with 2 tanks work. I know what tank swapping is but I don't know when I should do it

leaden ginkgo
#

That would be tough though, since I am also the tank, if I fail this then everyone will get mad at me.

warped nest
#

On Savage difficulty, watching a guide doesn't give you a clear automatically

#

Savage is very punishing

faint flare
#

People get mad at anyone who fails

leaden ginkgo
#

True, that's why it's called savage hahaha

#

ah....

#

yep.

warped nest
#

I'm a tank and I just got to the first 8 player trial but I have no clue how trials with 2 tanks work. I know what tank swapping is but I don't know when I should do it
@patent tusk if any attack hits a tank super hard, and give that tank a debuff

faint flare
#

Videos will give you the basic understanding in how shit works

warped nest
#

That's your signal to swap, usually this comes with experience

leaden ginkgo
#

Okay, that's enough about my queries, I have to focus on learning the savage runs now, hopefully I can understand them.

faint flare
#

After that its down to memorization and getting shit into your muscle memory

warped nest
#

For lower level/difficulty 8-players content, tank swap is not very common

remote lintel
#

heavy use of signs and waymarks helps

faint flare
#

And occasional macros

patent tusk
#

Oh ok thanks

leaden ginkgo
#

Thank you for your advice, everyone. I am going now before I keep talking and make this question thread a discussion thread, again. lol see you later.

warped nest
#

If you are not certain, just let the other tank play as MT (main tank)

#

You can be the off tank (make sure your aggro isn't higher than MT) and give some defensive support for your MT

patent tusk
#

So like how do I know if im supposed to be the off tank or main tank?

#

Like when the trial starts

warped nest
#

It is done by calling dibs

faint flare
#

Whoever has their tank stance on/pulls is MT

patent tusk
#

Oh ok makes sense

warped nest
#

If you don't want to main tank, just politely say "XYZ, you can MT if you wanna"

#

Off tank also serves as a backup MT, in case the MT dies or DC

#

So make sure you are ready for that

patent tusk
#

Ok thanks for the help!

is there a minimum amount of time you need to play before the referral code option becomes available? I've been on maybe 4 hours but I can't find it in the Mog Station

twilit arch
#

you have an active sub right?

tulip plover
#

What is enmity

faint flare
#

Aggro

#

Its what makes things hit you

#

Tanks want it

tall gale
#

no, no active sub yet

tulip plover
#

Ah ok so use it in dungeons

faint flare
#

Tank stance is basically on 24/7

twilit arch

then thats why, you need an active sub to generate a RAF code

tall gale
#

ah, sorry I spoke incorrectly. I can't find the spot to put my friend's referral code ๐Ÿ™ƒ

twilit arch

ah

#

do you have the full game or are you still on trial?

#

and if you've got the full game, have you already subbed once

tall gale
#

I'm still on the trial atm. I'm gonna sub as soon as I can get my friend his free items tho

warped nest
#

it only works if you are on starter Edition and have recurring subscription

tall gale
#

The only Account Service Option available in the Mog Station is to upgrade to Regular Service

So buy the base game, then do the referral, then pay for monthly? ๐Ÿ˜…

Why tf did they put the enmity bar in such a weird place

agile turret
#

is there a way to effectively clean out your armory chest without accidentally ruining some gear sets? I'm starting to level a lot of DoH now and I just have tons of random tools and shit I crafted and I don't remember which ones are currently equipped. They're trash items so i dont want them in my retainer storage, and no one wants to buy them on the MP nor would they sell for any decent amount regardless, so I was thinking of selling them to vendors just in case I need to buyback because discard could ruin gear sets. But even when I sell to vendors it's a pain in the ass checking every single set.

Is there something like supply and provisioning for grand company where you can hide all items currently in a gear set?

obsidian patio
#

items that are on a gearset have a paper icon on them in the armoury

#

and yes, you can hide items that are in a gear set for expert delivery by clicking the dropdown menu above all the displayed items

agile turret
#

sry mb

#

i meant is there an option similar to that with vendors?

obsidian patio
#

nope :\

warped nest
#

Move your gear from armor chest to investory

#

Then sell from inventory

#

That's the best you can do

roulette rewards are a 1/day bonus but doing level 50/60/70 content for the first time will award you with bonus poetics

#

as well as attending them with someone else who is new

#

also completing the content itself outside of a roulette can give poetics as well

#

namely dungeons

oblique yew
#

Ok. Will check out

faint flare
#

Theyve changed the colour of the name/hp bar

#

Its a setting in character config

#

In like name display stuff iirc

#

Yes

little swift
#

yes

faint flare
#

Yes

#

Claimed at mobs you hit first

little swift
#

claimed enemies are ones you have pulled

#

mostly in overworld

faint flare
#

Engaged are mobs you're in combat with

#

But someone else aggro

obsidian patio
faint flare
#

That

tulip plover
#

Ok im stumped how tf how can i move the enmity thingy

obsidian patio
#

The list that shows all enemies you're currently in combat with?

tulip plover
#

Nah the on screen thingy

#

That thing

little swift
#

that's your job gauge

tulip plover
#

I just unlocked enmity and they put it in such a wierd location

obsidian patio
#

it should be called beast gauge and it's at the bottom of the dropdown menu for hud layout

crimson crystal
#

Waaaait. Does riviera, glade, and oasis == Limsa, gridania, and ul'dah

obsidian patio
#

yes

crimson crystal
#

Wow just made that deduction lmao

worldly garden
#

Hey folks - I've got a question about the paladin quests that I'm following. I'm level 54 currently, and I think doing the Heavensward quests now. However, I cannot do the relevant quest to unlock Goring Blade, even though after just dinging, it mentioned another class quest being unlocked.

obsidian patio
#

What's your current story quest called?

worldly garden
#

Coming to Terms.

little swift
#

you're still in teh post ARR patch quests

obsidian patio
#

close to the end of the patch story, though

worldly garden
#

Ahh really? Sucks.

little swift
#

you'll know when you're in Heavensward
LARGE LETTERS TELLING YOU HEAVENSWARD

worldly garden
#

Big giveaway then huh?

little swift
#

yeah

#

you'll also enter ishgard

twilit arch
#

yep, every expac will have a title screen

worldly garden
#

Ah, okay. ๐Ÿ™‚ First time through the story, so a bit confused as to when I start the content. I thought that when levelling past the ARR cap, I'm in the next expansion -.-

little swift
#

nah, every expansion has a main story

#

and then a set of post patch quests

#

about x.3 is where that wraps up

tulip plover
#

Is it okay just to get rid of the beast gauge

faint flare
#

No

little swift
#

and x.4 onwards is where it leads into the next expansion

tulip plover
#

Cuz i cant move it

faint flare
#

Its important later

worldly garden
#

Also wondered why I was getting bugger all XP from the quests too. ๐Ÿ™‚

#

Thanks all!

faint flare
#

Go into your hud editor

#

And its at the bottom

little swift
#

yeah post patch quests weren't designed to give exp

faint flare
#

Of the drop down list

tulip plover
#

All it lets me do is make it smaller or larger

faint flare
#

You can move it

tulip plover
#

How tho im on ps4

faint flare
#

Use the drop down list

#

To select beast gauge

leaden hamlet
#

excuse me, i'm trying to set up my follow macros

#

but /follow <t> doesn't seem to work

faint flare
#

And move it with the right stick

leaden hamlet
#

despite me selecting someonei

warped nest
#

Then move your joysticks, one of them is going to move the UI around

leaden hamlet
#

can someone confirm the correct script?

warped nest
#

Clicking your joysticks will cycle the beast gauge size too

faint flare
#

You can also click the cog to turn it into Simple mode to make it cleaner

warped nest
#

Can you go simple at lvl 30?

faint flare
#

But the beast gauge expands at 35 to show additional information

#

When you acquire Inner beast

#

Job gauges in general are decently important to keep an eye on

tulip plover
#

Ok i moved it to the bottom right

leaden hamlet
#

WHELP im dumb

#

i put it as name

#

not as command

#

LOL

warped nest
#

Don't move it too far away

#

Later you will build resources with your attacks

wooden sierra
warped nest
#

And it will be shown on the beast gauge

#

Those are your hotbars

faint flare
#

Just turn on more hotbars via character config or hud editor

wooden sierra
#

That photo is from a video, so I was curious why I don't have one it

#

I will check it

faint flare
#

Character config > hotbars

#

You can have up to 10

#

Hotbars

#

And you can change how they look, from stuff like 12x1 or 6x2 etc

#

Do remember to hide unassign slots for cleanness by toggling the option as well

wooden sierra
#

Omg! It looks now good, thanks you!

sick zenith
#

I always stop and tweak my hud every few days

#

Seems like theres always a way to make it better

#

Id recommend visiting the hud options often

faint flare
#

UI customization is always the secret endgame

warped nest
#

If you are very confident, you can even tuck your combat hotbar to a corner

#

And just open up more space to see the combat

sick zenith
#

As a matter of fact its time to tweak my hud now

tired estuary
#

How do "statics" work exactly?

faint flare
#

Same group of people that schedule times to play together and run specific content, usually savage and ultimates

#

Rules vary from group to group

#

And how often they go

steady pewter
#

How to tell what stage of the game i'm at? like, "E8S" or something like that, i'm currently post-ARR and on my way to Heavensward

faint flare
#

E8S is the Eden 8 Savage

#

The current final fight of the high end raid

warped nest
#

Raids have nothing to do with your story progression

faint flare
#

Its nothing for you to concern youself at this point

#

Not until you're 80 with decent gear

warped nest
#

If you want to tell other players where you are at in your story, just tell them your msq level

faint flare
#

And/or the name of the quest

warped nest
#

"my MSQ have hit lvl 53 and I finished the lvl 53 dungeon"

#

They will know where you at

steady pewter
#

Thank you so much bros

tired estuary
#

Is there a specific way to post in the recruitment channel?

obsidian patio
#

I can't remember the main rules but at the bare minimum you need to state your server for Free Companies

tired estuary
#

Ah. Thanks! For answering all my questions.

worldly garden
#

I may have another question, though should be relatively easy. I notice when I join duties that some party members have greetings surrounded by red/green arrows. Is this some sort of macro/functionality that I can enable?

faint flare
#

Thats auto translate

#

press tab while typing to bring it up

#

If you're already typing something it can basically auto complete it with stuff thats in the auto translate dictionary

worldly garden
#

Ahhh, I see.

#

So it isn't an automatic greeting sent when joining duties.

faint flare
#

Nope

#

Though you can make a chat macro for it

#

And press it whenever you load in

#

To send whatever message you put in the macro for you

worldly garden
#

Hmmm, does sound useful.

faint flare
#

ie a chat macro of

/p Hello

Will automatically say "hello" in party chat when pressed

worldly garden
#

Where are these set?

faint flare
#

System > macro editor

worldly garden
#

Thank you very much. ๐Ÿ™‚

#

How do I start the relic reborn quest for DRK?

#

just finished it with the NIN/Yoshimitsu but its not giving me the option

raven sage
#

There isn't one for dark knight

#

Since it's a Heavensward job

stable hinge
#

Rip

#

how do I get the relic for DRK?

raven sage
#

Do "An Unexpected Proposal" if you haven't already from Rowena in Idyllshire

#

And then follow the questline through for the anima weapon

stable hinge
#

Thanks

tulip plover
#

Where can i find people recruiting for guilds on ps4

oblique yew
#

I plan on redoing Praetorium quest, do I tell people to not force DC to skip the cutscene?

leaden ginkgo
#

that shouldn't be a factor unless your in a premade party

obsidian patio
#

I rarely ever see people do the cutscene skips

strange coral
#

DCing is not the norm. The people that DC do it because they don't care

oblique yew
obsidian patio
#

usually some people just change their client's spoken language to get through cutscenes slightly faster, but that isn't that big of a deal.

#

@oblique yew only the rewards directly below "Adventurer in Need" are from adventurer in need

#

the poetics are given regardless of what role you are

oblique yew
#

Ahh

#

Ok

#

Ty

foggy fiber
#

Is there anyway to fix my ping in ff14? I get like 140+ and the only way ik is to hook my pc up to ethernet.

jade quartz
#

140+ is fine

#

If you want faster you could consider a vpn for more efficient routing

#

and of course ethernet will always be a slight improvement over wifi

#

But 140+ is perfectly fine and average

foggy fiber
#

then is it the server that's lagging me bc I would craft and every skill is like 3 sec delayed

jade quartz
#

Crafting skills have an animation lock of a bit under 3 seconds

#

but it sounds like what you're talking about is packet loss

#

Which is not on the servers' end, but likely due to some node on the route between you and the servers crumbling under heavy traffic or something.

#

Could consider a VPN.

foggy fiber
#

Do u have a vpn that u can recommend that's free?

oblique yew
#

So there's a waiting list inside a waiting list?

jade quartz
#

Mudfish is basically a few cents a month as long as you correctly set it up so that it only handles FFXIV-related traffic

#

I don't know what other newer options are available recently

oblique yew
#

Is there a way to bring the client on screen when it finds the match/party?

jade quartz
#

No, but you can have the sound cue play when the game window is inactive

clear pier
#

Hi

#

So I just bought the game on ps4 and need help

#

Downloading now

#

Just need help with a class and that

jade quartz
#

In System config -> Sound, ensure that an option for playing a system sound when duty finder matches is enabled (by default it is)

#

And then under sounds to play when client is inactive, ensure "system sound" has its box ticked.

wise portal
#

I feel like a complete idiotโ€”where/how do I add cross class crafter skills to my hotbars? Iโ€™m following the Bro Jobs guide on Jenova but donโ€™t have the โ€œadditionalโ€ tab on my actions and traits menu.

jade quartz
#

@clear pier what do you need help with exactly?

#

@wise portal crafter crossclass no longer exists. You're reading something outdated.

#

then you'll be able to access #doh-dol-lounge where we have up-to-date resources in the pinned messages.

wise portal
#

Dooooooh. Thanks

jade quartz
#

@clear pier Any class is fine to start with. Gladiator and Marauder are tanks, Conjurer is healer, the rest of the starting classes are dps.

clear pier
#

Thank you

jade quartz
#

You can play all classes on a single character, and switch them at the press of a button

clear pier
#

Basically I want to start off and get ready for raid and such

#

Because I want to use it as a main

#

Always want to be a wizard or something idk why

jade quartz
#

Thaumaturge, which later advances to become Black Mage, is the standard "Wizard" class. Big fire explosions.

warped nest
#

In my honest opinion, don't worry about raid from the beginning

#

It is very easy to level a new job to be raid ready, if you will

jade quartz
#

Arcanist is also a caster dps, which later branches out into both Summoner (dps) and Scholar (healer)

warped nest
#

Plus you have 4 expansion worth of content to go through before you can raid current contents

#

Do listen to Lyon's recommendation on Mages

clear pier
#

I'm excited because I may be getting house arrest next week and want to do a lot

#

And I shall ^_^

jade quartz
#

Yeah your priority at first will be going through the main story

jade quartz
#

It's the main core of the game, and goes all the way to cap.

clear pier
#

Thank you

#

I'll try not get side tracked by side missions

#

Hopefully itll be easy to get main missions done

jade quartz
#

So just make sure to follow the main story, do your class quests which you are notified about every 5 levels (mandatory), and also keep an eye out for blue quests bluequest as they unlock features and content.

#

Regular yellow sidequests sidequest are totally optional, only really offer a bit of story and area lore.

#

You're in it for the long haul on the main story, by the way.

warped nest
#

Playstyle overview

THM/BLM: you spend MP to deal damage with your fire spell (elemental damage in XIV doesn't work like Pokรฉmon, fire spell is not stronger against tree nor it is weaker against a water enemy), then you build MP back with ice spell. High level BLM controls and maintains their Astral Fire buff (more damage) and their Umbral Ice buff (faster MP recovery), doing so let them build toward very powerful spells.

ACN/SMN (ignoring SCH): you inflict poison on enemies (damage over time, DOT) and you can give orders to your pets to attack your enemies. High level SMN get to control one of three standard pets, and can special summon 2 special pets once you built certain resources in combat.

#

Two reminder: Arcanist is unique in that it is the only class that can branch into two jobs (Summoner and Scholar, DPS and healer respectively). Jobs have a predetermined role, so a healer job cannot be spec to be a DPS job.

#

Apart from Black Mage and Summoner, there are two more Mages: Red Mage and Blue Mage. Red Mage is an expansion job, which you can only unlock at higher level. Blue Mage is a limited job, as in it plays more like a side content, and it cannot participate in any current content.

clear pier
#

Thank you so much

You should be doing them

#

They give you important skills

Alright thanks

#

I am not able to find a party

#

Even though my waiting list number is 1

obsidian patio
#

That means itโ€™s reserving an instance for your party or it still needs other people to fill the rest of the slots

robust crow
#

how do you turn off auto lock on for PS4 controls?

#

it's difficult to look away from bosses or avoid backpedaling when everything auto locks on

system > character config

#

thank you

slate arrow

they're all in seperate zones unfortunately

#

gridania is the closest foot travel wise

#

ul'dah is the shortest if you consider aetheryte travel

but no marketboard is in the same zone as an inn or squadron room

robust crow
#

yeah, foot travel

slate arrow
#

then gridania, probably

#

Hey guys I just started trying out tank in duty, currently failing at it, but I just got a skill call interject. At first I assumed it disrupt some mobs special attack/aoe like how stun does, but doesnโ€™t seem to be it.

slate arrow
#

was the cast bar flashing

proud willow
#

Only skills with a flashing red cast bar can be interrupted with Interject

primal relic
#

Is that a thing?

slate arrow
#

one second

proud willow
#

Interrupting attacks somehow never really became a core mechanic so you will not see a whole lot of them

slate arrow
proud willow
#

and some that you do see are just S-E trying to be consistent even when that makes it more confusing

slate arrow
#

that kind of cast bar

proud willow
#

like elemental sprites having "interruptable" attacks with a 0.5 second cast bar, just because *shrug* seems like a spell cast so we might as well give it the Interruptable tag

primal relic
#

Oh I never noticed that bar huh

slate arrow
#

i recommend you split the enemy UI element and dragging the enemy cast bar somewhere near the middle of your screen

#

that has saved my ass multiple times in extremes and savages

primal relic
#

How do you split it?

#

I see enemy list and target info

slate arrow
#

system > hud layout > target status and healthbar/ target info

#

press the gear with that element selected

#

you'll see an option to split the elements

#

select that, and you can drag each element around individually

primal relic
#

Oh **** wow it does

#

Does it also apply w/stun also? For the bar to flash? I just kick w/e I see anything AoE like sometime it works sometime it doesnโ€™t.

slate arrow
#

no

#

it's a unique status

twilit arch
#

no, the pulsing bar is specifically for interject

slate arrow
#

stun is stun

#

interrupt is interrupt

#

(though, interrupt does cause the mob to freeze for a few seconds, which is a 'stun' for casts but ymmv)

#

(see: eden 1 savage add phase)

primal relic
#

Is that another game?

slate arrow
#

no it's a raid

primal relic
#

Oh

pliant cosmos
#

dont worry about raids rn, you have plenty of time before them

#

but yes, split that element. seeing when the boss is doing something fucky is good

#

What are those dots at the bottom of the screen

pliant cosmos
#

the menu?
