oh, those
@tulip plover your inventory
thats your inventory
namely what slots are currently used
shows you what spaces are full
blue means non-full stack, red is full stack, green is equiptment
The two rows left of the 4 grids is your current equipment btw
also pale red means broken equipment
@tulip plover i noticed that you have 99 gils, if you don't mind me being nosy, you can check your Challenge Log (weekly rewards) from your menu, and see if there's any Gil rewards you can easily claim for easy gils
Can I upgrade to all of the complete editions in mogstation for perks?
Can I upgrade to all of the complete editions in mogstation for perks?
@frail fulcrum you can upgrade, but I don't think there's any perk
Challenge log isnt available :(
are you onyl allowed to have 1 FC submersible?
it wont let me register a new one despite me havign all the parts
@warped nest I mean the bonus in game items?
Yeah... I don't think there are any.
Those are, AFAIK, preorder items
Collector Edition just give you cool looking stuff: mount, weapons, dresses, etc
You can have more (my FC has four), but there may be conditions to unlocking past the first. Someone who knows more about subs than I would have to go into more detail, though.
Thanks @warped nest
No problem
I can buy all right?
Yes you can
๐
Just know that it is all comestic stuff
๐
What's the default key for LB?
It is a combat action on your hotbar
I don't think there is a keyboard key or a controller key to do Limit Break directly
Not sure where to ask this, but is there a guide on how to make a char that doesn't look derpy?
nope
not that i've seen
generally the first face is always going to be decent, the other three ymmv
what was the name
oh geez totorak, yeah?
yeah that sounds about right
that one is kinda sticky bc if you don't know not to jump off the platform it kinda forces you into the fight
w the slide mechanic
ARR cutscenes are absolutely disgusting with their length
i have accidentally started that boss fight not knowing it'll hurl you in there if you jump down
and if they're using expansion jobs those do a busted amount of damage at low levels
noooo ๐ญ
the ARR cutscenes are long as hell and v frustrating in dungeon but it's always like
courtesy for the newbies pls
after my triple triad tournament 20 battles are over... where do i get the reward cards?
hey i'm new here i was stuck on something for few days whatever i go i can't find Command Missions to run my squadrons dungeon
i'm level is 70 and my squad leveled to 22 but i can't find the option Command Missions when i go to the barracks googled a lot T_T
You have to level them up and do the first flagged mission before you can take them on command missions
@raven sage what do you mean by first flagged mission i did finish the first mission but still refreshing
thank you for your kind answer

the tutorial mission or the flagged mission
@slate arrow where do i get the tutorial / flagged mission ?
the tutorial mission is the hour long mission you send them on when you first unlock squadrons
the flagged mission is a special 18 hour long mission which requires all 3 stats to be maxed
i finished it yesterday but it appeared again xD
looks like you failed it
Yes you have to succeed at the mission
finishing does not equal success
Raise your squad's stats or abuse training to get them past the stat gates needed
i feel so dumb.. how do i put wallpaper on my partitions..?
So i have defiance and provoke one boosts enmity and one puts you at the top of the enmity list whats the difference
Happy and starting fresh on a new character after finally getting together enough $$$ for a consistent sub and I've wrapped up ARR and am running around picking up some of the the fun bonus stuff I missed the first time I played. My first instinct now is to jump into the patch content to start wading through the slog towards HW, but I've seen some folks saying it's worth it to just mess around in base game until the next patch since all the filler is going to be slimmed down. What are y'all's opinions?
next patch wont be out for atleast a month
so
its up to you how much you wanna play
Tragically I'm on that controller plugged into PC life ๐
๐ฉ
@ancient rain i actually feel that a bit, as much as people rag on it it is still content and i kinda don't wanna miss it
i have HW/SB/SHB if that's the question! so technically i have still been levelling past 50
many blessings upon your grind ๐
if the patch really isn't coming for that long though, i think i'll just go for it and to hell with it
content is content and i'm not gonna stop enjoying the game
many thanks for input ๐
Hey probably an incredibly common question but I spent two hours googling and didn't really get any clear answer.
Is anyone able to recommend a server on the Chaos DataCenter?
yea patch is delayed cause of corona
gtk!
@hoary pulsar any of them with a star next to them
yep, i had it happen to me as well. just hang for a bit and jump back in when it respawns.
@tulip plover Defiance is your tank stance and should always be on when you're tanking so you establish and maintain enmity. Provoke is for when you don't have initial enmity on your target and you need to quickly take it from whoever has it

How to get the fat chocobo head?
@glacial holly its from the achievement vendor
Ty
Is there a physical card i can buy to extend my membership
If I enter a daily roulette that awards tomestones of allegory with a class that is not at lvl 80... will I still get the allegory tomestones?
If I enter a daily roulette that awards tomestones of allegory with a class that is not at lvl 80... will I still get the allegory tomestones?
@lavish vortex no, you can only earn allegory with a lvl80 job
Is there a physical card i can buy to extend my membership
@tulip plover you can buy timecards, but i'm not sure that they always carry physical copies
Thanks
here's a silly question that's probably something obvious i've overlooked
i see people have lil 'statuses' on their character profiles that you can scroll over and see, those tiny speech bubbles, but i have absolutely no idea how to do one myself
i'm probably not even calling it the right thing, bc googling ffxiv statuses gets you a lot of info but not what i'm looking for xD
Oh, on my way to bed but real quick before that. That's your search info. Right click your name in the party window and select "edit search info" or whatever
you get both don't you?
There are two separate job quests
@raw solstice thank you so much! that's been killing me for ages
One for each

yes
is gnb the squishiest tank in comparison to the others?
in terms of overall mitigation kit?
Can I take on other quests during duty finder?
What do you mean @oblique yew .
Like while in the que? Of course
Yes
Just can't go into dungeons and suxh
Cool
is gnb the squishiest tank in comparison to the others?
@ember goblet not really
Gunbreaker's combo has built in heal and shield
i can see why you would feel that way though
At first glance, Gunbreaker might seems to have less
you lose the heal/shield on aoe
Because PLD has Clemency, DRK has TBN
But Gunbreaker can do just as fine of a job at tanking as other tanks
yeah its fine as other tanks but
in terms of comparison to others
like ranking them in terms of overall mitigation/survivability?
I totally forgot that WAR has a direct self heal
I don't even remember the skill name
Ummm...
Is there a way to prevent fantasia addiction?
!action equilibrium
Simple answer is yes its the squishiest
But it still has enough tools to handle any situation
Thrill of Battle is also basically a self heal
abyssal drain is also a lifesteal ability for drk as well
For BLM why is the AOE rotation under 50 to spam freeze instead of spamming fire 2 which does more damage? Is it not worth it with the # of fire 2 casts needed to get level 3 astral fire?
F2 costs a ton of mana
short answer: it costs a lot of mana
freeze goes off more quickly too
and you can get off more of them than you can f2s
Its cast time is longer than the GCD as well
I think PLD is the only tank without a lifesteal effect in their combo
Yeah I guess cast time is a big deal. Makes sense. I was just confused since i figured you just use freeze when your mana was low, thanks. Cast time will def make a big difference
You can stick to F2 if you want to
The lifesteals don't make that much of a difference since damage in ffxiv is burst
you can sneak in a swiftcast flare i guess when finishing a pull
If you don't want to remember what's the levels for what
!faq blmleveling
Other than daily roulette and the Praetorium, what quests gives me poetics?
I'm looking for the +side quests but none of them are rewarding poetics
Dungeons
Lvl 50 dungeons
Net
without the expansion, what's considered the easiest class?
Hey what is the best gathering gear for heavensward. Lvl 50?
Tank, White Mage... Maybe Bard/Dragoon
Just get to 51 and pick up that set
is this for easiest class without expansion?
is it still recommended to focus on one class?
Nah
i'm assuming people in ffxiv can adapt to any classes when needed
I don't think anyone have ever recommended that
Some players can
Some players don't play all of it
so it's player preference
You should focus on getting good with a single class before branching out
But since you're capped at 50 that doesn't really matter
But you don't need to commit to your starter class
If you want to try others, just try
I can say that Ninja is probably the flashiest at lvl 50
Among all the ARR jobs
If that piece of information is any use to you
is it possible to unlink a Steam account from an FFXIV account ?
No
Are you sure it isn't the ambient chatter when enough players are in the same area?
Oh, then it's the whistle sound the mount summoning makes, maybe
Maybe the other player mount whistle sound effect is corrupted or something
Will gathering nodes not appear if you are below their level?

i have a truly dumb question, because i encountered a tank in doma castle who didnt know what stack-up or tower markers were
whats the earliest mandatory point you see those
I believe so grain gotta do the final mission again
Stack marker is in a hw dungeon
Tower is almost definitely, Doman castle
The ||ixal|| one
I know Sephiroth has Tower, but that's optional trial
ok i felt like i was going crazy with the stack marker
How do I get materia out of items?
Right click, retrieve materia
I mean spiritbond things
Extract Materia
is things like nidhogg scale at a 100% drop rate on the dungeon?
no
stuff like that that's used for furnishing or other crafted stuff is usually a random chance

Do people rarely do primal trials?
no its not this 1
while Extremees tend to be done via party finder
It's been 45mins and I've not found a part yet
yes i know what oyu mean
oh ok
are you queuing for an EX
i don't think there's a youtube link of that version
maybe i shld just tweet soken
What's EX?
extremeeeee
extreme
Is that after hard? I'm doing lvl 50 trials
yes what specifically are you queuing for
Bowl of embers one
which one, hard mode?
the exact name?
hard mode is in trial roulette
hmmm
shldnt take that long
i queue into bowl of embers hard in trials all the time
to the point i wish it wasnt bowl of embers
Sad
are you a dps?
Yes
what time is it in your DC region
Samurai
Its the early morning in Europe
Initially it said AVG wait time to be 6min, now it says more than 30min
Welp. Just found it.
also 15-30 minute queues as a dps are pretty normal
Average wait time is average of the people who were queueing recently
Is there a stat point system?
Ok
You don't assign stat point
Everything comes from your gear
And you can add stat to the gear
Your character don't have any assignable stats
When does making gear become important
For combat jobs, only at lvl 80 and only if you are doing endgame contentn on week 1
what are unspoiled nodes for gatherers I undersatnd they are like rare and they spawn at a certain time but does that mean only one person can get the node or how does it work exactly
For Crafter/Gatherer, you can/should craft your own stuff at lvl 40+ onwards, unless you power level them hard with Ishgard Restoration
It just spawn at a certain time
So much stuff at least they slowlynexplain it all
It doesn't have limitation on how many players can gather from it
ty!
A lot of mmorpg just habe tutorials fucking all at once
The whole game is just a long tutorial :D
Until you reach lvl 80 and get max gear :3 then your life is meaningless
why does materia VI give a bigger bonus than materia VII?
how can i unlock the coils of bahamut? I googled it and it said to talk to urianger in the waking sands but he's not there. I did all the prerequisite quests.
im using this website:
@torn bane grade 7 can go in overmeld slots past the first one, Grade 6 can only go in the first overmeld
i have no idea what those words mean
Some gears have 2 open slots and 3 hidden slots
when you hover over then and see the tooltip
The hidden slots are what we called the overmeld slots
oh
Gears without hidden slots are marked with Advanced Melding Forbidden
Aye. Most if not all crafted gear allows you to overmeld
oh ok
Pentameld is a piece of gear melded with 5 materia
This is a term you will hear about often at endgame combat, crafting, or gathering
This isn't super important for Combat gear, since you can get current tier matiera by the bucketloads if you're on daily
Melding in hidden slots can fail and the materia used will be lost
tl;Dr
-all gear has 5 slots, but only crafted gear can go past green slots
-hidden slots are % chance to fail
-older materia has a higher chance of overmeld success
-more important for crafter and gatherer gear where current materia can be stupid expensive
Hi! I'm new in FFXIV, played the free trial and want to buy the game, does it matter if I buy it whether on steam or the Square Enix store?
Like, do i have to start over if bought from steam or something like that?
Am I free to choose?
yes
steam must buy rest of the expansions on steam
while trial from the standalone can be converted to a steam account
Ohhh, that was my biggest concern
Hey everyone! I haven't played FF14 since years, but i want to get back into it. Is there any norwegian community/guild? I am learning the language and want to practice while playing.
overall though the only real negative on steam is that the game practically never goes on sale
but, in steam only appears Shadowbringers available to buy, does that includes all the previous expansions?
yes
Are people expected to bring maps into a map party?
Thanks :D, much aprecciate
at least one probably
hi guys, how proficient is fisher when making gils compared to making neo-gears or using btn/min.
I have level 80 btn and min and thinking about doing fsh solely for gil making
@mental surge entirely depends on the marketboard. Aether, you probably could get a decent chunk of money soley selling current tier aethersand since you need quite a bit for neo-ishgard
also, selling the current tier crit fish
(in the current tier crafted food)
Alternatively, you could sell Leve fish
What do I do for my second ring with poetics?
augment your first ring, buy a regular second ring
I see but if I where you, and you have all crafters and gatherers and you have free time to grind, which would you go for it priority? like craft>gather>fish
THanks
i don't want to spend a lot of time of something the other class would make better I guess
crafting has and always will be the biggest gil unless they change how crafting works
as I have a very limited number of retaainers as well XD
on reddit one person tracked their profits over a patch with two retainers
limited retainers doesn't limit your crafting options
can gazelleskin dungeons be done as 5 if we have a tank and a healer?
you can do 8-man maps with 3 people
and even with buying most of the materials they still ran a consistent profit
This does depend on your marketboard but at some point you start making profit on volume instead of cost
I see, I see, that's what I thought, I keep getting more gils selling neo-gears I don't have time gathering mats anymore, I came to seek info about fishing.
thank you for all the information
I see pirates slav squatting outside of HW Culinarian questgiver location, can I get that emote? I can't find anything online about it
I don't mean this https://i.imgur.com/Pmrrz25.jpg
@ancient rain upon completeing an instance a notification will appear, clicking that will allow you to select one person for a comm, but this only works before they leave, and you can't comm people you queued with
I mean this https://i.imgur.com/5F6rBPy.png?1
Don't think players can get that emote, unfortunately

I'd love a slav squat emote
Can someone do the command for how to spend poetics please
!faq poetics
hi guys what party commendation do in duty finder what the aim for it
it has achievements related to it the more you get
and is one of the requirements for becoming a mentor in game
it is basically one of those things you do when you want to commend another player
whether that be because they were super nice/performed well/communicated
the achievements/cosmetic rewards are just for hitting milestones of commendations on top of that
ok thx
Commending 5 people every week gives a bit of experience if you've unlocked the challenge log
nice
guys my lvl 20 how i can telport between major city with big crystal
it required some item
Is it worth doing anima weapon?
@turbid vale whats your most recent main story quest
Just finished HW story
Every aetheryte you have to attune to and the 3 major cities you travel to after a point in the main story
@sick zenith sry forget what i say but thx i try to google it
@vagrant scaffold which class are you + already no because it's a very long grind
because you're only going to want them for a glamor, and not every class's anima is very great ๐ฆ
I am now no longer interested in getting my anima weapon haha
But WHM since you asked
@ancient rain leveling roulette as adventurer in need gives a lot
the WHM one isn't awful, but it does take a while
something like 18k tomestones of poetics + a lot of grinding
And it's not tied to he roulette bonus so you can just spam it
It gives a couple thousand so it shouldn't be that many runs, though it could be level dependent
dont fates give them as well
Yeah, but far fewer
truth
yes
About 5 minutes instead of 10-15 as a DPS (during peak times)
during off hours though it's generally always healers who control the queue
@ancient rain for the extra seals you need to be the role is says it needs though
And generally when you queue as an adventurer in need its instant
scholar is pretty goofy
early on your fairy does all the work and you just nuke
then your fairy is mostly there as a regen/cd battery
then suddenly you get all these heal cds and are just a dps
tbf they're really 80% dps 20% healing
probably more 90/10
the difference is that you arent hitting huge numbers, but you're vital to the group
Just swap to Summoner?
gotta do the class quest first, but that too
Btw, Arcanist is unique in that it is the only class that can become two jobs
Even then we don't call them spec
- some madlads play arcanist to 80
You need to find the Summoner job quest, remember to take off your Scholar stone
You can't initiate the Summoner quest as a Scholar
is the ruby gwiber trumpet available for trade
the 99 totems?
I don't see it at mor dhona
Not yet
:'(
It will be on 5.3 or 5.35
ok thanks
I don't suppose theres a way to glamour one of my nin headpieces on my DRK
Has there been word on the chocobo carriage mount that was shown last October.ish?
Hello, question about dsynthing. Can you max level in three professions for desynthing or can you only max out in one job for dsynth?
Absolute traesh
trash
You can max them all for desynth nos
take it off my bar?
yes
Just play lord or lady if the card is bad after rerolling
Ye, free slot
Ye, you can max out all desynths
And I have not personally heard anything about the chocobo carriage
Reason I ask about the dsynth is because I saw a guide on reddit 1 year old and didn't know if dsynth was only allowed for one profession
If I had to choose between the tank and the healer to partner with as dnc, which one should I choose?
If I had to choose between the tank and the healer to partner with as dnc, which one should I choose?
@gritty oracle tank probably
Overlevelling doesnt really have a consequence in this game
Its fine to
Just keep up on job quests
The only thing worth mentioning is if you do quests with max level job, you don't get to keep those exp, that's all
If you have all the expansions you can keep leveling to 80
You just cant complete more job quests past 50 until you reach the relevant expa sions
Dont stress about being overleveled
Everything syncs you anyways
And youre ahead of the curve so you dont have to play catch up later to get to do content your underlevelled for
Later on xp goes a lot less far
So being several levels ahead now is nothing
Its not like exp is a finite resource too
Just get the expac before 50

they're required for sending your retainer out on ventures, which are like missions you can send them on
max cap is 65k
nice i see now ok i google about retainer
hi guys, i want to powerlvl my bluemage, does the powerlvling-cheese/abuse/trick still work?
u have to of them but if u want more u buy 2 per month
and is it possible without a grp? only me and a lvl 80 friend without forming a groupe?
yes, powerleveling with a friend still works
but every video i watched was a grp and a outsider
does it work without me (the bluemage) beeing in a group
ty ๐
you just need to tag the mobs
y, saw that, with flying sardine i.e.
Ideally your friend need to have skills that can kill quickly
well, its a lvl 80 whitemage, so no fast kill, but it will go i guess ^^
A properly geared white mage will 1-shot anything in Asyz Lla
what happened here? all those at 1g are the same 2 people buying it
People are attempting to crash and manipulate the market
If they fill the sell histort with the 1g purchase
They might be able to trick someone into listing those items at 1g
And then once they buy out all of them they can relist them at a proper price to make money
Just browsing through my BRD skills, do I see correctly that past level 64 Sidewinder can be thrown off of my hotbars?
oooh
no...
thanks for the explanation
sidewinder is the single target version of shadowbite
there's is absolutely no reason why you would not use it
It seems to only work on Venomous Bite or Wind Bite, does it changes its own description when I reach level 64?
yes
because caustic/stormbite are just upgraded venomous/wind bite
Yeah, hence my confusion. But if the description changes it all makes sense
i want a skillbar thats useable across all characters, i imagined it beeing "crossbar", but i cant seem to put any actions in there
can any1 point me in the right direction?
A 'crossbar' is the name of the skillbar for controllers. You're looking for a 'shared bar'
crossbar is the controller hotbar
make one of your hotbars "shared" if you want it to be the same across all jobs
"Character Config" => "Hotbars" => "sharing" tab
how do i set a bar to shared? when i go into the setting i can change the form or transparency but not shared
ah...lol
go into character config like tael said
ty
is there somewhere i can see a ps4 hot bar of BLM level 70 ?
also the rotation at that level by any chance ? this is an extremely confusing class
!faq blmleveling
love this discord thanks
BLM's levelling process is particularly unintuitive because of how often new skills or traits completely change your rotation
but at max level it's very smooth and comfy
Just sucks being level-synced down again...
hello, can i ask for help? i need to clear crown of the immac for msq... TT
1-50 is the most painful, 60 onwards doesn't change too much thankfully
@solar mist cant you use the duty finder for this one?
Ouch yeah
If you let us know what datacentre you're on, someone might be able to join you
oki, currently on aether^^
sarg!
Aether
full now, thank u ^^
\o/
gl!
@leaden ginkgo okay, this is how I have my BLM bar set up. 2nd picture is the hold crossbar.
I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong
did the crafting channel disappear or am i blind
I've been trying to join up via duty finder for The Striking Tree Extreme for several days, and it never pops
same for Binding Coil 3
you need the dol/doh role to see it @leaden ginkgo
so go into #612757637813239808 and select it
oh thx
NA/EU do not usually do extremes, binding coil, or savage via duty finder
especially not older ones like striking tree
better to make a party finder to go thru those, or wait until you're higher lvl and just unsync/solo it yourself
And most mentors aren't very happy to get extreme trials in roulette in fairness
they're tough when done on level
I guess I'm fortunate to have been able to run ifrit/garuda/titan extremes this way then
@obsidian patio for the two years i have played i never thought to customize the hot bar so how do you have the bar under and the two extra layers ?
Those are normal keyboard hotbars
You can activate them in character config > hotbars or Hud Layout
As for the "duplicate" set of the crossbar, that's WXHB and is accessed by double-tapping R2 or L2. Basically easier way to press more buttons
I generally only put lesser-used skills on WXHB since I usually found myself clipping my GCD if I don't do it super fast.
Most jobs require 2 crossbars at level 80 since there's always a few skills which just never go used
only jobs i struggle fitting all my main skills in one crossbar+ one Hold is mainly AST/GNB/SCH
role actions for the most part get shunted to WXHB depending on the exact ones, along with niche skills or skills you use only once like Monk Stances, AST Sects, and SMN/SCH Summon actions

@obsidian patio ok i figured out the settings but how do you use spells on the bottom hot bar
there are numbers ?
Those are there purely to see their cooldown timer
not for actual use.
Helpful to keep track of your cooldowns like tank mitigation or damage buffs
You can make unfilled slots invisible in hotbar settings.
Also for the bigger hotbar that intersects the crossbar, I generally put one skill on one side or each side that have important buffs or cooldowns that I use often, like Sharpcast.
iโm sorry but the only thing thatโs confusing me getting skills off the bottom hotbar
Activate virtual mouse by pressing L1+R3, and then you can move the right stick to move the mouse and use L2/R2 to left/right-click and drag actions on and off of it
So between rdm and dnc would dnc have more easier time than RDM ?
In terms of general gameplay Dancer would probably have it a bit easier if you can stay on top of the layers of procs that their skills have.
though things can get hectic during their technical step burst windows where they generate a lot of gauge for one of their actions
Red Mage is more consistent proc RNG with the skill Accelerate giving 3 100% chance procs every minute
kinda
Red Mage looks like they have a lot of free movement with Dualcasting, but it's somewhat restrictive because you're relying on being able to cast your spell to set up dual-casting
in terms of movement options Outside of dualcast RDM only has Swiftcast, which is usually used as a damage gain due to skipping a Jolt, and Reprise, which cuts into your manas which can your melee combo if used too much.
Ahh
so RDM has good movement if it's a bunch of smaller movement, but not if it's one long period of constant moving
Well have 76 dancer so could simply get to 80 and main him instead of RDM
Why can't I meld this?
guys, I have a ton of spare gear from levelling alts and want to desynch it, is it viable to any crafting class to 30 and I can do it on all level items or I would need to level more for say 70+ items?
level 30 is enough to use desynth on everything, regardless of the level of the items
and success rate is gonna be good? not like bad %?
always 100%
do note that you need the relevant crafting classes leveled up to desynth their stuff
so you need a level 30 GSM to desynth items that GSM makes
oh okay, so if I have a large pool of items I would probably need all crafting classes?
that sounds like too much work xD Will just get gc and ventures I guess
getting to level 30 is super quick for the most part
1-15 and maybe a bit more can be done entirely with materials bought at their crafting guilds
and leves give boatloads of experience and can be done with vendor-bought items
oh really, so it would not take me days to finish that?
you can do it in a day or so if you devote yourself to it.
so far I only have battle jobs levelling experience so no idea how crafting works
@young fjord do you have any crafter at 80
Yeah, I just put in the crit materia no problem

did you talk to a materia melder for that
Naa I did it myself
@next wind you can take a look in #doh-dol-lounge for pins relating to early leveling macros for crafting
Unlike combat classes, crafters can take 100% advantage of macros in making their lives easier
okay thanks!
but the general gist of crafting items is you try to maximize your quality bar (which decides %chance of the result becoming High-Quality, along with boosting experience gain) while making sure to fill up the Progress bar to finish the craft
It's possible to even semi-idle craft if you have a controller
Is there any way to influence which target an AoE spell affects first?
@agile laurel depends on the spell
attacks like flare are centered on the target you're currently targeting
If it's based on you like DNC's dances, then it's the target closest to you.
Relogged, was now able to put it in
Cause it's a little thing in concept but I've seen in events where my Earthly Star hits 10 enemies and the tank, the tank is the last thing to get healed and usually means it's about 2 seconds from activation to heal
and that's meant a death a couple of times
cause the effects don't all go off at once, they go off in sequence
I never quite figured out Earthly Star's healing priority, might just be server ticks like Ind says
F. guess i just shouldn't rely on it when there's 12 adds
on the topic of earthly star, is there any way to make a macro that only fires on its deployment, but not its activation?
(cause they're the same ability)
macros are dumb
ah well
ok i got the hotbar stuff finished and have been in summer ford farms for about 20 minutes ... could you sum up the importance of the purple thing under the elemental gauge and also there are combos that put fire and ice ticks one the gauge at the same time
I mean that quite literally, they're quite literally basic programming instructions
i think i have an idea but still donโt really get it
is this for black mage?
Purple gauge is for foul and Xenoglossy
yes
yeah purple gauge is how long til your next polyglot gain, assuming you've kept Enochian up
!action Xenoglossy
Xenoglossy is instant cast
You get one polyglot every 30 seconds of enochian
it only ticks along when Enochian's active (which it always should be, unless you've had some catastrophic failure)
!action umbral soul
Grants Umbral Ice and 1 Umbral Heart.
Umbral Heart Bonus: Nullifies Astral Fire's MP cost increase for Fire spells and reduces MP cost for Flare by one-third
Can only be executed while under the effects of both Enochian and Umbral Ice.
i see ... i keep enochian up by using the element i started with ?
keep enochian active in ice phase with blizzard III, but you shouldn't really need to
and an umbral heart makes fire cost less ?
you keep up enochian with umbral soul or transpose before 76
keep enochian active in fire phase with Fire I
in downtime, use umbral soul or transpose to not drop enochian
!faq blmleveling
if you're lost, just follow this guide for your relevant level bracket
so basically your fire spamming phase needs to look like fire IV until you're in danger of losing enochian, fire I to refresh the timer, fire IV til drained
iโm understanding
If your latency or server ticks are shite you should fire1 generally when you have 5 seconds left on the timer
i can't speak too much on the gauge cause I set that to simple appearance instantly
ok and swift cast is a good way to open ?
yep
I think my rule of thumb was 3 Fire IVs if you don't have triplecast or leylines, 4 fire IVs if you do
triple*
before your fire I
You generally want to save Triplecast for your Fire 4's and Despairs
lol wow i canโt wait to master this there are a lot of rules
yeah, I tend to use swift to either cram in another fire, save my enochian if I've made a rotation error, or flare
BLM optimization goes to an absurd degree
but when it goes right it goes oh so right
black mage will have a rotation you can learn, then just do
so once you know it, you know it and it's simple
!action aetherial manipulation
zoom
haha blm go swoosh
I use swift on fire 1 WAY too often to save enochian x.x
is that for when i canโt out run a heavy attack
Good usage of Ley Lines and Aetherial Manipulation gives you very fast movement
it's the best movement ability in the game*
i can count on the fingers of one foot the amount of times I've actually used aetherial manipulation successfully to save myself
*provided your party is in the right position
oh yeah and should i pop leylines immediately or after i get into fire ?
I use aetherial manip all the time, it's mega useful
if you want to see the different openers
generally try to keep cooldowns of the same CD time synced up with each other
from memory, isn't it 2 triplecasts for every leyline usage?
or are they the same CD?
!action leylines
!action triplecast
neither, then
3 tcasts every 2 leylines
yeah
i don't confess to being too well up on blm, i kinda just boosted it learned a rotation and fire IV go brr
i leveled every job except DRG from scratch
you wouldnโt believe me if i told you i damn near beat Storm blood without knowing any of this
nah i'd believe you
Guys, at what level i can ride a chocobo ?
'When can I get my first mount?'
The quest that allows you to use mounts, 'My Little Chocobo' is unlocked by completing the level 20 main story quest 'The Company You Keep'. The quest is located at the Grand Company base you chose and you'll need to buy the Chocobo Issuance from your Grand Company Quartermaster. You can get the 200 needed Grand Company seals by doing the main story quest that comes after 'The Company You Keep'.
'Are there any differences between mounts?'
Besides looks, all mounts are the same speed along with being able to fly in the expansion zones. Some mounts allow multiple people to ride at once.
'Can I make my mount faster?'
Zones have one or two ranks of mount speed that increase the ground speed of mounts. The first rank comes from completing specific quests in the main scenario quests, with the second rank coming from Riding Maps which are bought with either Allied Seals, Centurio Seals, or Bicolor Gemstones. Mount Speed Boosts do not increase the flying speed of mounts.
black mage feels kinda janky until you hit 70, like it doesn't settle. But the 70/80 rotation is very tightly designed
black mage's amusingly like samurai also in the respect you can just ad lib and freestyle the whole rotation, but you probably would benefit from knowing a rotation
one you learn like the 60 rotation itโs pretty fluid but then it just goes down hill
when you finish the MSQ quest "The Company You Keep"
i donโt know how they can make these classes stronger by next expansion seriously b/c itโs starting to get crazy lol imagine a level 100 rotation
Totally! there's one thing learning a max dps rotation, but most of the fun is in learning fight mechanics and using all your tools to try and keep your dps going, I live for the freestyle
The only two things you can do with 'used' gear, is to Turn in on GC, or Desynthesis, right?
ShB is really only QoL for most jobs
like i canโt believe triple cast is such a fast recast
RDM and SAM for example didn't really change
itโs like after one full fire/ice cycle itโs back
RDM is virtually unchanged
@leaden ginkgo for the most part, yeah
we don't have many ogcds, so you can use it for movement mechanics
Anything else?
Technically 'lending down' to your Retainer is an option on thought, but past that?
does the doman enclave accept them?
yes
but selling gear is worthless
p sure some of the stuff you could sell from the GC sells for more
since they'll be considered different items it works
ok one last question
how do I augment
At Drake in North Shroud
you need one bottle of carboncoat
kk
and then what wynne said
well two* 1.) if you make it to foul does that basically mean your doing alright ? and 2.) letโs say i barely made it to foul and have like 2 seconds left, would transpose be smart ?
Don't worry about forcefully fitting Foul/Xeno in your rotation
just make sure to not overcap on your Polyglot (the pink jewel)
i only hit foul when i hear the noise
if you have to, use it when you're in ice
you generally have more time to do other actions while in ice compared to fire
over cap ? you can get more than one purple thing ?
yes and no
at 80 you can get/store two polyglot
ok
when the bar fills up and you're already at the max crystals you lose out on a cast of Foul/Xeno
ok that makes sense so even if i switch to ice to keep it going ( enochian ) i can still use foul/zeno
xeno *
ok this has been super helpful now to die in a million savage runs before i get good
You only lose out on the timer if you drop your fire/ice completely
ok perfect
stacks you charged up stay until you use them or die
Think
So i just read from something, that Ranking up your FC works by Expert Delivery?
yep
it's the most efficient/time way yes
Even if i am from a different GC, that the FC is on?
yes
how important is it to get my gear to ilevel 130? can I just skip that step and just let heavensward gear me up?
thanks all
the braindead method that people used to do is crafting Militia Bracelets and turning those in for seals
since they only require one crafting material
@frigid sigil I'd say weapon at a minimum is recommended due to it being the biggest gain in damage which makes things go by faster.
I see thanks
Well i think i now know what to do with gear
Those bracelets require 2 materials Wynne.
Basilsk Whetstone and a Rose Gold Nugget.
I swear there was something people made that only needed one item

Ah, it was the Militia Wristlets, not the bracelet

(It does require 2 materials total, because the material needed itself needs 2. Gold ore and Copper ore. Gold ore is unspoiled material ofc.)
Can only healers revive?
Okay
And there are items that also can revive, but only put of battle.
(And a action Raise L for Eureka Pyros/Hydatos.)
what do you think the best mount for a BLM is
Black mounts? ๐
!mount Witch's Broom
Once an ordinary household cleaning tool, relegated to such menial tasks as sweeping and...sweeping, this broom's life changed upon being enchanted by the ogre pumpkinhead. Now the skies are its dusty floors.
Mog Station (Premium)
Sweeping The Meadows (Event)
pretty nice if you want a classic witch aesthetic, though it's only on the mogstation
Ifrit EX/Ramuh EX mounts can also be fitting for the Fire/Thunder look
Or the Bomb Palanquin from Kobold Beast Tribe/Moogle Tomestone event if you want a swinging chair lifted by the voidsent bomb enemies
Good one Wynne.
Do tanks drag all the enemies to one point?
that is one of the things a tank can do
which sets up the team to be able to spam aoe
That's usually the idea, yes
For certain fights two tanks may have to pull enemies apart
But I had this tank that was speed running, and dragged all the enemies with him
With not the intention to fight, but to get to the next cutscene
yup
because it's much faster that way
but they do this because they know they can
i.e. they know they can survive the onslaught of attacks
sounds like Castrum Meridianum or Praetorium, which is pretty much the only time that is good to do.
for your average dungeon run, you shouldn't really do that for more than a few mobs at a time
Tanks do massive pulls there because the fight is tuned for very low level gear (i45 IIRC) which is vastly beaten by the endgame level 50 stuff
lol i queued for the last dungeon in SB so i could practice a bit more and this might be the longest i have ever been waiting ๐
how long does a person have to be away before he absolves FC leadership
Guys, what type of quests are these? and are they mandatory? Because I'm only doing the main ones and the ones with a 'Plus' sign next to it.,
they are not mandatory
plus sign ones just unlock the area for those
Levequests are basically repeatable miniquests
they're much better experience for crafting and gathering classes, though.
ohh ok, so do i stick to main ones atm ?
it's an 'ok' way to level. not the best, but not bad
the experience for combat classes isn't that great
yes, stick to main scenario quests in general, they're way more fun, and reward more exp
alright, thanks man
Do higher level items get damaged easily?
nope

Does AST healing require a different mindset vs WHM?
just did an alliance raid as noct aspect, and I think my poor co-AST hard carried
What's a good way of making money that doesn't involve crafting or gathering
i mean if you're doing noct sect AST, then you can't play like a whm
you need to play more like a scholar
So, sticking to the main story quests and not doing the quests with the plus sign next to it is not that of a big deal right?
since noct IS the shield sect
is it risky to download addons that don't ruin the game like damage meter and life quality ones?
How about if diurnal?
Diurnal is whm basically, but not quite as potent
since you don't have for one as many ogcds as they do, nor quite the raw healing power
I mean, thats a tough question to answer, downloading random stuff from sites you don't know always has a certain risk to it
so you need to be a bit more mindful of how you're using your ogcds and such
earthly star is very potent heal when you let it set up
@safe niche its pretty strongly recommend to do
along side your main scenario quests since they unlock additional content. Though you can skip over "So you want to be X" or "levemets of X" since the first just unlocks other classes, and the second isn't really that important for combat classes
@safe niche there are some
that are very important, mainly the chocobo quest and your class/job quests
once you get to expansion content,
will also have aether currents which are required to collect to fly in that zone
so easier to do it while you're in the area already than to come back later to do them
buy whatever you want, there's nothing you "have" to use gil on, expect mundane things like repairing if you've not got crafters leveled
what's the bait for southern strait of merithor?
krill for procing spectrals, plump worm for intuition buff
krill for day, ragworm for sunset, and plump worm for night when spectral is up
So I have a supply mission for carpenter which is to supply a birch rod and I donโt have that under my list of crafting log. Am I being blind?
For samurai, there's a gap in the enemy circle
what level is your carpenter @hazy flint

Should I attack there
@oblique yew that gap indicates 'rear'
I see birch lumber and some birch stuff but not that

Hi! I just finished the main shadowbringers story (until โshadowbringersโ quest). What side quests should I do before I begin 5.1 MSQ to unlock all the post game dungeons/ duties?
By the Time You Hear This in The Crystarium at (9, 11) and Akadaemia Anyder in Eulmore - The Buttress (13, 12)
those are the two lvl 80 dungeons that are side quests
You are awesome! Thanks!!
In the Middle of Nowhere in The Crystarium (10, 12) starts the Eden quest line (8 man raid series)
And Word About Korma in Torma starts the nier line
Word about Korma Kholusia (13, 9) starts the Nier questline (24man raid series)
Going to definitely need to start getting higher ilvl to que for content from now on
When do I unlock Rowena's token exchange?
Iโm getting item lvl460 with tomestones of phantasmagoria until I get the crystarium gear
Crystarium gear should be tha Max tier gear right?
hey guys how do I start the I believe I can fly quest?
I finished the Divine Intervention msq
but im looking at Arnoulain the quest giver but he has no quests to give
ohh I also need to complete 'where the chocobos roam'?
Yes Arvz
Have to do Where the Chocobos Roam
Also My Feisty Chocobo if you missed it in Bentbranch Meadows which lets you summon your chocobo to fight
how much does 2 magic dmg equate to? im not sure if it's worth me getting ilvl490 over 485:
@pine bluff
The max tier gear is from Eden's verse savage (i500).
The new 24-man raid brings the upgrade tokens for the Allegory gear to the mid-tier. (i490 > i500)
so i should definitely aim for i490?
Technically it depends on what is best in slot for black mage
im playing pretty casually with friends, so i dont think i'll do savage raids
the last "hardest" content i did was titania EX when ShB released
Then get the 490 rod
The i485 relic with Damage melds is just as good as the tome weapon.
Is there a summary all the way up to heavensward including the 100 quest slog between arr and heavensward
Also just checked I'm 90% sure the savage raid weapon is best in slot due to spell speed
But yes, if you don't do savage grab tome weapon.
okies thanks for the advice.
patches aren't a slog though
That summary was written by Rommy IIRC who is a big lore person
will the resistance weapon get more upgrades in the future?
@wintry chasm ty
Yup, next upgrade will be i495 i think.
(It will be the best weapon in 5.5x @ i535 most likely, but that does get replaced fast then.)

is there any point in me doing nier raid since it only augments deepshadow gear into ilv470?
the coin that drops from copied factory will most likely be required to buy the items to augment crystarium gear
oh? i looked at the NPC it shows drops from savage eden
so if you're not doing savage, then yeah you're going to need to do it in addition to the puppet's bunker
what's puppet's bunker sorry?
puppet's bunker is the next nier raid
no, it'll be released with 5.3
thank you ^^
guys i used the msq skip pot and the class job skip pot, do i now just cont the last msq as im 70
yup, u can do that
is there a quick way to get to Ok' Zundu
from ishgard
the airship seems to only take you to cloudtop
There should be another airship that takes you near Ok'Zundu provided you got far enough in main story
hmm ok
umbral soul replaces transpose ?
x14.2, y11 apparently Arvz
yes, but no
In Ishgard Pillars
so is coerthas western highlands the only area I can fly in after getting aether currents
Aether currents is a per area thing
If you get all the aether currents in Western Highlands you can fly there
Once you get them all for Sea of Clouds you can fly there
etc etc
yea but what areas can I actually explore and just unlock currents by running around? since some are locked behind quest progression
If I understand your question right there isn't an area where you can just run and find all the currents. There will always be at least one locked behind main story and others locked by side quests
ah ok, any idea which ones I can actually do right after unlocking it?
not locked by msq later on I meant
all of them have 5 which are
and 1 locked behind almost the last msq in the area
Issue is a number of
are locked by MSQ anyway
ah yep
any1 wanna help me powerlvl my BLU? ill powerlvl you as well. Cerberus
How many quest is alexander?
15
mnhhhhhh
That shouldn't be including the savage version unlocks
Level 50 Ironwork Accessories for WAR slaying or Fending ?
even at low level okay
Can you disable the skill effects of other players?
yes

@jade quartz thank you
works too by typing it into the chat
Don't recommend setting it to none as you still need to see stuff like healer bubbles
Within your party.
since its a text command, you can make it a macro to put it onto your hotbar
yea, what lyon said
Limited turns off all the explosions that will obscure the screen/reduce your framerate.
