obsidian patio

whenever it appears

wild terrace
#

cause when i do nothing happens

#

i killed them all 3 times

frigid sigil
#

is there a macro to sort the armory on gear swap?

#

kind of annoying always having these gaps when checking in

obsidian patio
#

@hot willow do you have any MMO class playstyle preferences in mind?

hot willow
#

necromancer is what i usually play

obsidian patio
hot willow
#

but any class with long range and high burst damage is what im looking for

obsidian patio
#

There's no mass minion summoning class, but there's Summoner for DoT management and they have a pet

frigid sigil
#

thanks

obsidian patio
#

and a link for how to use /gearset for swapping jobs

hot willow
#

thanks

wild terrace
#

@obsidian patio apparently you need to target the blade and not the one casting it but the text literally tells you to talk to the person casting

#

no wonder its annoying

solemn delta
#

Hi. I almost have my UI exactly how I want it but I can't for my life figure out how to make boss debuffs larger. I'm in Target info : Status and I've changed it to a higher % but its not showing Dots larger so I can track them

#

See I play on a big TV with a high resolution so need to make certain things larger to play effectively

#

Nvm. I got it I was in the right place

honest ocean
#

Is Ishgard restoration still a thing? Or do we have to wait for the next patch for events

twilit arch
#

yes, restoration is still a thing

#

the only thing that is not happening right now is the fates

honest ocean
#

And those will come back with 5.3?

twilit arch
#

yes

honest ocean
#

I see .. thx for the help

calm basin
#

nvm it popped

green grail
#

like a tutorial "dungeon"

#

in big air quotes

#

mostly a tutorial

calm basin
#

well some level 60 just rushed it for us lmao

proven bay
#

Does anyone know how I turn off the speech bubble timer? I was messing around with it yesterday and although I've put it at the lowest setting, I can't seem to revert it back to there not being a timer at all

raw solstice
#

You mean the auto-advance thing? Spacebar is the default to turn it on/off

proven bay
#

Yes, that thing. Thank you so much AYAYA

wispy basalt
#

can i refund the 30 days few

#

i pay it in tge wrong id

#

fee *

strong sphinx
#

what are reasons in ffxiv to save up gil?

oak ice
#

Teleports, buying a house or if you need crafted gear for a headstart into the next raid tier

strong sphinx
#

alright, that gives me a rough understanding of how valuable gil is then

#

how much does a house cost?

agile laurel
#

varies

#

about 3.5mil minimum

#

but quite frankly, getting the gil to buy a house is not the hard part of getting a house

mild ermine
#

Does PLD, Sheltron block a fixed amount of damage?

#

Or just straight up blocks any damage for the duration.

wispy basalt
#

angrymiqote what about me

mild ermine
#

Or is it a one hit absorption ?

agile laurel
#

block for duration

#

bear in mind block is a % negation, not a full negation of damage

#

block is a stat chance to negate roughly 15% of damage from an attack, sheltron simply raises your block chance to 100% for a spell

solemn delta
#

Question regarding the 32-41 gap in squadrons.

If leveling a dps class do you guys just spam Brayflox or do you just DF until 41?

#

I'm finding maybe DF and do other bits and bobs while I'm waiting but not sure

oak ice
#

@wispy basalt your best bet would be to contact support regarding billing issues

#

Sheltron is one guaranteed block, but block is dependent on your block strength and usually hovers round 15-20% less damage

open coral
#

@solemn delta I may not be the best person to answer this, since I tend to take a more relaxed approach to alt leveling, but I personally just do my daily leveling roulettes (and any relevant hunt logs for the level range I'm at), and leave it at that.

oak ice
#

Wait, maybe it blocks everything for its duration

open coral
#

If you're trying to speed level though, I think finding a tank or healer to queue with and spamming your highest level leveling dungeon is probably the most efficient.

wispy basalt
#

@oak ice how

twilit arch
#

its block for duration

faint flare
#

Sheltron changed on Shadowbringers launch fron the 1 guaranteed block to "block for the duration"

mild ermine
#

How come it doesn't tell me how much % is blocked?

proud willow
#

The % blocked is based on the block strength of your shield

#

it'll be the same % as a normal chance-based block

solemn delta
#

Yeah I'm going for full 70/80 all jobs mate

#

Goal is all jobs 70 and 9/10 80 by end of road to 70. Then focus end game content

twilit arch
#

for 32-41, can always just do potd instead unless you really don't want to do potd

solemn delta
#

I avoid it to prevent burning out mate

#

I'm gonna be leveling 3 months solid

twilit arch
#

otherwise, can do fates/hunting log but there's no really many other options

wispy basalt
#

once you reach the last upgrade for relic can u choose between the old ones ?

solemn delta
#

Queue times aren't bad

#

5 minutes usually, and I'm utilising the time starting other jobs sorting Inv etc

twilit arch
#

you can buy replicas of the previous stages, the zodiac is the only one that requires you specifically to finish the relic weapon to buy replicas

#

the other relics chains just require you to finish that step

solemn delta
#

No word on news letter yet?

wispy basalt
#

the replicas will be available after i reached it ?

#

also how much for the replicas

twilit arch
#

like 200gil or something

nimble rain
#

how much does PLD shield matter, how does it work? like if they go shieldless, would they be less tanky than other tanks, does she shield make them more tanky than other tanks?

solemn delta
#

It matters.

#

A lot.

wispy basalt
#

o ok

#

Thanks

oak ice
#

The shield gives them passive mitigation in RNG form

pine bluff
#

how do I see the rewards for frontline? it doesn't say on the duty finder

oak ice
#

It also has a portion of the stats that other jobs habe on their weapons

twilit arch
#

you're missing a chunk of your stats from not wearing a shield

oak ice
#

So yes, use a shield

solemn delta
#

Plus I'm curious why you would even consider not using it

oak ice
#

If you don't like using shields you can get Emperor's New Shield from the gold saucer to turn it invisible

nimble rain
#

let's say if all tank just stand there to be attacked with their weapon drawn and not using any skill, would PLD be the last one standing?

solemn delta
#

Does sheltron not require you have one equipped anyway

nimble rain
#

no, I'm just curious on how it work

solemn delta
#

I have no idea cause I play PLD but never not had my shield lol

oak ice
#

They would have less stats than the other tanks, so they'd probably die slightly before

nimble rain
#

I mean with the shield

#

standing to be hit with weapon drawn and not using any skill

solemn delta
#

RNG would play a factor also.

#

Crits from enemies etc

#

But for arguments sake, let's say they can't crit and all tanks have identical BiS gear, I believe PLD would be last one standing?

twilit arch
#

@pine bluff which rewards, because the frontline duty finder pages do show what you'll get when you complete a match

pine bluff
#

it does yeah, usually the reward is crap tons of exp

#

will I only get crap tons of exp once a day?

#

cause I'm not sure if those exp are the rewards from the roulette or jsut rewards from frontlines in general

twilit arch
#

the roulette itself does not reward exp

#

Any exp you earn from pvp is from the match itself

pine bluff
#

I see, hmm, it seems like such a good way to level. I went from lvl 41 to 45 in 1 frontline match

#

youre telling me I can just keep doing it? haha

twilit arch
#

yes

pine bluff
#

the duty finder does say reward already received, so I got something but I dont know what

twilit arch
#

if you're under 80, its just pvp xp and 1k wolf marks

pine bluff
#

ah ok

sudden wolf
#

Is pvp xp still in the game

#

It literally does nothing

twilit arch
#

its only purpose is basically for the achievements

#

for the pvp ranks

wild terrace
#

do dungeons work normally in this game ? i just did the ||llbert where he is masked || and every time a boss was starting an aoe i could not move i had to press the button again to keep moving

#

so you move and hit , boss starts attack you stop moving and have to press again to move

proud willow
#

that sounds strange

#

are you talking about the 2nd boss specifically? the one that uses the motion tracker attack?

turbid vale
#

hi guys can i use retainer in dungeon or raid to go battle with me

proud willow
#

Retainers can't ever go into a dungeon with you

twilit arch
#

no, retainers have no combat abilities

#

and cant even be summoned outside of the summoning bell

proud willow
#

you can get a squad of NPCs that you can do dungeons with though, when you get to a high rank in your Grand Company

turbid vale
#

ok that explain the video i see

#

ok first thing i have two retainer by default and best for it is go one battle type retainer and one for Gathering

#

what gathering type should i chose for gathering

#

retainer

wild terrace
#

@proud willow it happen 3 times on the second boss and 2 times at the last fight

#

and always once aoe was starting

twilit arch
#

bot or miner, they're both fine to choose

turbid vale
#

what gathering type should i chose for gathering
retainer

azure kettle
#

When should I work on getting my own retainers?

twilit arch
#

keep in mind that your retainer can only level as high as you are in that class/job

#

so if you don't have botanist or miner unlocked and leveled, then no point in making them a gatherer retainer

azure kettle
#

Bc I don't really know the use for them

twilit arch
#

retainers are your bank/auctioneer

azure kettle
#

Oh, but you can have crafting/gathering retainers too?

twilit arch
#

with the ability to be sent out on missions to go out and collect items once you do the quest "an Ill-conceived venture"

turbid vale
#

my lvl is pld 45 is good to go

#

first class BTW

#

or stic with MSQ

wild terrace
#

you have to do msq you will get stuck eventually

#

i mean content unlocks behind msq

obsidian wren
#

Lv 50 unlocks a lot of content so i say you might as well beat the basegame msq at that point

turbid vale
#

then go to secondary thing like craft and gathering etc

proud willow
#

@wild terrace The second boss uses a motion tracking debuff that knocks you up in the air and stuns you if you move before the debuff goes away. It sometimes does this just as it puts an AOE on you in order to trick you into moving early. The correct way to handle the mechanic is to wait for the debuff before exiting the AOE.

#

And the third boss has a look-away attack that stuns you if you fail to turn away. It could be that that's what was preventing you from moving.

#

Hard to say what if that's exactly what happened since I wasn't there to see it. But that's my theory

turbid vale
#

guys gold saucer is important for the game except some reward like mount and haircut

wild terrace
#

ah i see thats why it gets stuck

twilit arch
#

gold saucer is entirely optional content

#

its there as a side attraction

wild terrace
#

ok now i know , its not like i will ever ever ever do this dungeon again since the exp is horrible, 3k exp the dungeon 10 quests ago gave like 7000

#

at the same level

#

thanks

twilit arch
#

its an old max lvl dungeon

#

they don't give good exp in general, because they're not intended to be used for leveling

proud willow
#

yep, no need to run a 50, 60, or 70 dungeon for the XP. they give less than the next lowest dungeon (47, 59, 69)

are totems tradable?

#

mount totems

warped nest
#

under the job icons
@trim cove enmity or aggro on the enemy you are currently targetting

#

Enemy targets the player with the highest enmity

trim cove
#

ah, sometimes the bar is half filled or full with different colours, what about those?

warped nest
#

That I have to say, I don't know

trim cove
#

looks like it's relative aggro or something

#

the top 2 guys have the longeset bars

warped nest
#

Sounds about right, Red is top, orange is close to top

#

This is similar to the aggro icons on the enemy list

green grail
#

are totems tradable?
@olive lintel no

fresh isle
#

Because so far I played just free version I want to ask you

  1. Will SE support this game with future expansions or they are planning a new game?
  2. Is anyone familiar playing on US servers (Famfrit) when you are from other region? - EU in my case, playing with friend

Thanks for help, I know these questions are stupid, but I wanna be sure, before I fully jump in

olive lintel
#

thanks!

pine bluff
#

they're always planning a new game. but FFXIV has a long future ahead

fresh isle
#

they're always planning a new game. but FFXIV has a long future ahead
ok thanks, 😁

faint flare
#

They already got the next story arc planned once we wrap up the hyadelyn/zodiark arc so

#

Plenty more years of support

#

šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø

finite ferry
#

traditionally the level cap in ff games is like 99? at least 2 more expansions?

nimble rain
#

hi, what/where is ShB Trial series like Warring Triad in HW and the Four Lords in SB?

faint flare
#

The weapon series

#

Starting with Ruby Weapon

mossy parrot
#

As long as FFXIV continues to perform as well as it presently does, its very unlikely that Squenix will stop support any time soon. They are not going to throw away that kind of money šŸ™ƒ

nimble rain
#

and yeah, IIRC they have already said that after the current arc conclude we might be moving onto America New World and Australia Meracydia

Get better gear

turbid vale
#

hi guys can i make retainer have pld job

oblique yew
#

I have i120

faint flare
#

Yes you can

#

At 54 you can be i130

turbid vale
#

ok u mean i should have more lvl to do it i am now pld 45

#

need more lvl and msq complete to make it

faint flare
#

Once your retainer hits 30 you can advance it into a job

turbid vale
#

ok pick gld for now

#

then change it to pld

#

sry my english language bad

faint flare
#

Changing it to a job doesn't do much...just allows them to equip job specific gear

turbid vale
#

ok got it just for gear to uncreas quantity for item from expdetion hunt etc

#

increase

#

item loot

faint flare
#

Giving a retainer a job isn't needed at all..
Only if you really want to

turbid vale
#

i want mate how can this done

@fresh isle I’ve been playing from the UK on a US server, also cause a friend. Lag is a big problem for me, makes some dungeons/raids really hard. Also, you’ll be sleeping through the peak times (evenings) when NA plays, so you’ll end up being on your own more often than you think. But, it’s doable.

The advice I've seen is to level all crafters at the same time because then they can craft for each other

#

what happens to the duty roulette if you start a duty before reset, but it finishes after reset

leaden ginkgo
#

Is black mage the easiest and most tireless dps classes to play in this game?

jade quartz
#

Subjective

#

It’s comfy

#

Though the leveling process for it is unintuitive due to the rotation changing a fair bit as you level up and get significantly gamechanging skills.

pine bluff
#

red mage is the easiest probably when it comes to rotation

jade quartz
#

Not sure what you mean by tireless exactly

leaden ginkgo
#

Started as mar/war, then got drk and went to 80s, got neo-ishgardian, I love tanking but I think I got a bit tired of that, tried machinist, really good but want something else, too. Tried thaumaturge and currently lvl 15, they told me it's the highest dps but it feels tricky for me with the fire/ice, and now I have a white mage lvl 45 and already got tired of healing due to how tough dungeons becoming after 40s as a healer.

#

Something that won't tire me.

#

That doesn't require anxiety and warning literally every half of a second.

#

Like healer for example, or tanking.

jade quartz
#

Um

#

with /gpose is there a way to zoom in and out smoothly?

Honestly that’s just the base level of difficulty in this game

crimson wind
#

How much uptime do I lose if I'm doing no rotate ruby on melee?

little swift
#

depends on if you get a short edge or long edge

crimson wind
#

Long

little swift
#

if you get a long edge like 1-2 gcds

#

if you do it right

#

its not really a big deal to do no-rotate

crimson wind
#

I just don't know why I'm only hitting 5.5k dps on DRK

little swift
#

the checks are quite lenient

crimson wind
#

I just hit ogcds when they come off cd

little swift
#

you're probably dropping a lot harder than you think due to uptime

#

plug the log into xivanalysis

crimson wind
#

Maybe it's because i had all ranged that run

#

So no buffs

darkside off a lot

#

this is phase 1

crimson wind
#

my darkside was off?

#

I use EoS when I have the MP for it

#

Weird

little swift
#

those are just some basic things to work with

crimson wind
#

Hm

little swift
#

you were probably off the boss more than you think

#

since you likely played safer on mechanics

crimson wind
#

yes

#

considering I have like

#

3 clears

little swift
#

i think the biggest thing is keeping darkside up

#

even in your p2 logs its dropping a bit

crimson wind
#

wat

#

hm

little swift
#

i'm looking at it from this

crimson wind
#

I mean how long would it take me to get 3000 MP back

little swift
#

just a basic analysis

#

you're probably also not fitting enough gcds into blood weapon

#

so its a small mana loss

faint flare
#

Siphon strike is like 400 mp so thats like 8 combos

maybe we should take this into #endgame-lounge i think we're scaring some other people off from answering questions

fresh isle
#

If you want to have more characters, what do they share and in which situations - different server, world?

Siphon is 600

pine bluff
#

@fresh isle curious to know why you even want multiple characters?

crimson wind
#

So maybe I shouldn't spam EoS

fresh isle
#

Only account mounts, Only vets rewards
@faint flare those are account bound?

faint flare
#

Yes

#

All characters get vet rewards

#

@fresh isle curious to know why you even want multiple characters?
@pine bluff One for US server and if there are problems then one on EU, US would be mainly for playing with friend

@fresh isle I haven’t yet finished MSQ and gotten to the high end content. So it’s manageable but it is noticeable and every time I’ve checked it’s been a similar ping. I do know there are solutions (using VPN etc). If you find it’s a problem for you when you get into higher content you could look those up. I know a lot of people do play cross-server, just wanted to mention.

ahh i think i figured it out

Controller peeps! Anyone try using the Nintendo Switch Pro Controller with this game? :o

I've been wanting to give it a shot for a LONG while. However, in a small test that I did, the UI on the hotbar will stay in the normal Xbox controller layout, unlike how it looks on an Nintendo Pro Controller.

#

@mossy haven you can't really modify that without modding game files

mossy haven
#

Aww, really? well deng.

#

the game wasn't designed with Nintendo layout in mind

Only Dualshock and Xbox

But the guild materials are super cheap

#

no reason to gather them

calm basin
#

I'd rather gather them myself to level botany (free trial user currently)

gritty oracle
#

But honestly low level materials cost a pittance. I recommend just buying it

#

Oh, okay

slate arrow
#

It's like 7 gil a log or 5 minutes of work

gritty oracle
#

Yeah

#

I think if you want to gather them yourself, go for it!

calm basin
#

So should I switch to Botany, go start the level 1 quest from there?

gritty oracle
#

Yes

jade quartz
#

If you desire

calm basin
#

Okay thank you all~ Quick replies

gritty oracle
#

You always have to be on the correct class to do anything

calm basin
#

Yeah I understand that :p

#

Was just confused on how I was to get the logs

gritty oracle
#

How edgy is drk? I want to raise all Dow to 50 at least, but I can't stand excessive edge.

open coral
#

The story for DRK job quests from 30-50 is edgy af

whole wasp
#

nanometer point edge, sharpened by darkness and angst

open coral
#

It's literally powered by your dark side. That's... that's the entire point of DRK.

forest laurel
#

DRK is the edgiest class in the game but it has the best story out of all of the jobs

signal garnet
#

What are the mounts out that can carry two people?

#

I know about the car but I dont think I can get that one

faint flare
#

Skyslipper from Eden 4 Savage

And thr wedding chocobo

wedding chocobo,
draught chocobo from recruit a friend,
parade chocobo from mentor roulette
skyslipper eden raid

signal garnet
#

shit

#

theres the car as well as you said but unavaliable right now

faint flare
#

Other 2 seaters are on Mogstation

signal garnet
#

how hard is e4s?

whole wasp
#

those are the free options, there are others on mog yup

faint flare
#

Like fat moogle and whale

slate arrow
#

hard

#

rock hard

#

and unlikely you'll find anyone for it

#

since that's last tier content now

faint flare
#

With new gear checks are abit more lenient but you need to respect all mechanics

#

And do them properly

signal garnet
#

I thought that was e8s

faint flare
#

E8s os current tier

#

E4s was last tier

signal garnet
#

ohh ok

pine bluff
#

what are these 'E4s' 'E7s' etc?

#

I keep seeing people talk about them

signal garnet
#

eden savage

#

and the number is the tier

pine bluff
#

eden savage is a dungeon?

faint flare
#

E - eden

Number is the floor

S means savage

signal garnet
#

its a trial I think?

faint flare
#

Its a raid tier

signal garnet
#

ah

faint flare
#

8man raid tier for the expansion

weavers don't fight or do damage

inland scarab
#

hmmm... didn't know there's guide for grinding alt jobs. btw, while I agree to most of it, there's one content that's always never available to me: current beast tribes. Usually per expansion release, I already cap all jobs before hitting x.1 patches, which usually where 1st beast tribe made available.
This begs one question tho: Is it worth to do tribe quest from 1 expansion below?

#

@chilly fog popotoes. nuff said. lawl

wait

chilly fog

it dawned in my fucking stupid brain "HEY WHY DONT YOU GO DO THE WEAVERS FIRST QUEST! Maybe it will show you the tutorial!" i shall now go brb

@inland scarab i only did ananta beast tribe then i was lvl 60s to get shit out of it

do paladins get a charge/rush/gap closer ability

strange coral

There's cosmetic rewards to get from the beast tribes, and materia from some of them

@inland scarab you can do them for mounts etc.

signal garnet
#

Where do I fo to find my ip?

inland scarab
#

add -t at the end to run continuously. i always run this every time playing ff14

slate arrow
#

doesn't matter

#

just open your windows command prompt and ping <datacenter ip>

little swift
#

you're pinging one of those ips

#

not your own

inland scarab
#

open task manager, tab Performance, bottom window that says "Resource Monitor" to open it. On Network activity tab, look for ffxiv_dx11.exe (or ffxiv.exe for 32 bit) & beside it are ip address to your server.

signal garnet
inland scarab
#

wow. that's quite big latency there

strange coral
#

oof

inland scarab
#

150ms would be ideal

strange coral
#

If you play on Aether, yes

static yacht
#

Are you from NA?

pine bluff
#

150 is ideal but even 300 is fine. 500 is stretching it though..

signal garnet
#

Yeah, im just unable to play from home since im moving so im at a relatives place.

inland scarab
#

at 300ms, u need to preempt to dodge AOEs

pine bluff
#

ok so youre from NA but you're playing on a JP server?

#

woops nevermind

signal garnet
#

I pinged aether

static yacht
#

ye

inland scarab
#

& if running craft macro, 300 ms would sometimes fail steps

static yacht
#

iirc aether, primal, and crystal

#

all have their server locations

#

in sacramanto

pine bluff
#

huh, wonder why your ping is so high. out of curiosity try pinging the other NA servers?

static yacht
#

so it won't be make a difference which NA server they ping

#

^yeah could try

pine bluff
#

other NA servers are primal, crystal

slate arrow
#

also if you're not wired any interference will raise your latency significantly

pine bluff
#

Primal: 204.2.229.10
Crystal: 204.2.229.11

upbeat storm
#

Does anyone know any blu meld resources?

signal garnet
#

Im running on aethernet

inland scarab
#

maybe try finding your server IP instead, from what i told u earlier? maybe got better accurate latency

#

the one i circled on picture

static yacht
#

@upbeat storm check the balance

upbeat storm
#

they dont have

static yacht
#

it's under one of the pins iirc

slate arrow
#

the balance has 3 bis sets

#

there's no meld guide because the guide is

#

get to max level, use shire until you can get bis

inland scarab
#

BLU has special skill that can change role into either tank/healer/dps, hence different setup

#

On FFLogs can someone tell me what that "Best %" part refers to? I have 19% on Ramuh for example but 19% of what?

leaden ginkgo
#

ohhhh i get good ping to my server

inland scarab
#

now that's your average latencies

static yacht
#

@shut sigil your best percentile

slate arrow
#

@shut sigil you're in the 19th percentile

inland scarab
#

getting under 100ms would be super tho

slate arrow
#

You're better than 19% of all parses

leaden ginkgo
#

NA playing on JP server

static yacht
#

out of every run you had, you had one run that put you at the 19th percentile

leaden ginkgo
#

150 is great in my eyes lol

#

when i play another game Rust... i play on Korean servers and anything under 200 is ideal for me lol

shut sigil
#

@slate arrow @static yacht Ah I understand, thank you.

signal garnet
#

Wait so what do I show you?@inland scarab

inland scarab
#

i can get below 100ms on few occasion, depending on which connection I'm using

#

open task manager, tab Performance, bottom window that says "Resource Monitor" to open it. On Network activity tab, look for ffxiv_dx11.exe (or ffxiv.exe for 32 bit) & beside it are ip address to your server.
@inland scarab

#

o-o

leaden ginkgo
#

if i was always pinging 500+... i would say change servers

inland scarab
slate arrow
#

is this wired Ethernet or wifi

#

If you're on wifi, try again with wired Ethernet

signal garnet
slate arrow
#

might just be a poor wifi router being shite

signal garnet
#

Im running on Ethernet

pine bluff
#

what kind of connection do you have at home

slate arrow
inland scarab
#

yea, ping that ip address

#

204.2.229.89

leaden ginkgo
#

Costanze where do you live ?

signal garnet
pine bluff
#

im all the way in australia, and pinging aether I'm getting 153ms

inland scarab
#

lol even worse

#

guess changing DC i guess šŸ˜…

pine bluff
#

@signal garnet try pinging the other servers, including EU and JP ones

slate arrow
#

If you're living in NA it looks like someone is using Netflix on the same network

pine bluff
#

see if you get different results

signal garnet
#

My ping is low because im not on my normal router. I just wanted to see if it was somehow playable

#

er, not low

leaden ginkgo
#

you in North America ?

signal garnet
#

Yes

leaden ginkgo
#

so just horrible internet at moment

slate arrow
#

It looks like someone is using a streaming service because I've had this issue before when my family is watching shit on Netflix

#

Netflix net-fuckoff

inland scarab
#

yea, best bet check pings on other DC

pine bluff
#

it is possible that could be an issue yes, is anyone else using the internet at home @signal garnet

#

you can try doing the pings again very late at night when you know everyone's asleep

signal garnet
#

No clue. I dont know how fast my connection is without any interference, so i wanted to see if it was playable how it is.

pine bluff
#

but I don't think a bad router can really spike your ping that badly

signal garnet
#

I don't think anyone is streaming anything at the moment

pine bluff
#

I mean it's playable...

#

you'll have trouble dodging attacks

#

but it'll be 'playable'

signal garnet
#

my relatives computer is on, but theyre not in and they mostly use it for work/checking emails

inland scarab
#

another thing u could try by tethering to your phone net plan & see if u got improved latency. if it's way better then prolly someone else sucked your bandwith

static yacht
#

tethering to your phone sounds expensive

pine bluff
#

do you know if maybe your internet connection to your ISP is wireless?

#

like it's one of those mobile networks but for home type?

inland scarab
#

mine cost like 10$ & getting like 15gb monthly.

pine bluff
#

3G/4G connection at home if that makes more sense. I dont know what you call it in NA

inland scarab
#

15gb internet quota

static yacht
#

JPN internet 😦

#

and phone plans

#

in Canada / USA

#

there are phone monopolys

#

so the phone plans tend to cost a lot more

#

I pay $80.00 CAD for 10 gbs

inland scarab
#

anyways, it's just for checking for comparison if your home internet being drained on other uses or not

static yacht
#

and that was a one time promotional offer

inland scarab
#

oooo 80$?

#

no comment then... šŸ˜…

#

there's phone monopoly here as well. for example, my data plan won't allow access to netflix, while other service provider allows em. šŸ˜…

#

well... not without using vpn that is...

fresh lodge
inland scarab
#

sorry. anyhoo... like i said, try using other net provider like your phone tethers to check if still has latency issues

signal garnet
#

oh wow

#

i got 70ms minimum and 107 max from my phone

inland scarab
#

🤣

static yacht
#

it might be an internet speed issue then

signal garnet
#

rip

inland scarab
#

there's ur answer: ur home net got hogged. lawl

signal garnet
#

ill only have to bear with it for a few weeks thankfully

inland scarab
#

that's some fishy emailing there

dense pier
#

Ah yess

#

AMERRRRRICA, not even FFXIV is safe

pine bluff
#

it's not a speed issue

inland scarab
#

if on wifi router, maybe could set up bandwith limit for other access than yours

pine bluff
#

speed and latency are unrelated

#

the next step in the troubleshooting process is probably a tracert

#

do this: tracert 204.2.229.9

inland scarab
#

that can be a bit technical though

pine bluff
#

nah it's just that 1 command, then paste us the results

inland scarab
#

ah yea, that works. can be a bit lengthy tho.

pine bluff
#

if it's lengthy, then there's the problem haha

#

mine was 12 steps. from australia to NA

inland scarab
#

šŸ˜…

pine bluff
#

I suspect @signal garnet's ISP is routing his internet traffic all the way across the world and then back again

#

If you're having internet problems right now, it probably isn't isolated to you

#

I am literally the only one who uses my internet where I live, and it's not an apartment/shared complex

#

It's just American internet, and COVID-19 made it far more apparent how bad it is

inland scarab
#

yea, it's also happening over ff11 as well from what i heard, mostly for NA/EU

#

nah... some DDoS attacks

dense pier
#

No, it's not FF

#

Just entire internet cutting off

#

Which has been the norm in the US for a while

inland scarab
#

oh...

dense pier
#

It's not an issue with the connections to the services

It's the service providers who are at fault

sometimes huge annoying rubberbanding on hunts

do your class quests for your starting job

you have to finish up to the lvl10 one

class quests are not optional

what are class quests? are they different from MSQ

kinda, specific class/job sklills are locked behind them

how valued is bard in raid groups?

leaden ginkgo

then the problem is: i just arrived in Limsa but the class quest is back in Gridania, should i go back and finish it before doing MSQ in Limsa?

static yacht
#

@signal garnet they're all the same

faint flare
#

Bards are valued for their raid buffs

strange coral
#

Yes, if there is anything in that spot on the tracker, you should be doing it asap

static yacht
#

you literally just want one ranged physical dps

#

team comp doesn't matter as long as you don't have dupes

signal garnet
#

ah ok

static yacht
#

and ideally you have 1 melee, 1 caster, 1 physical ranged

faint flare
#

Be comfy with double ranged and caster worryComfy

signal garnet
#

is bard a commonly seen class then?

static yacht
#

as much as any other class

tranquil valve

I would focus on which Job you enjoy playing instead of which Job is more desirable, since the difference is minimal.

Do Ehcatl Smithing Gloves count as Ehcatl Wristgloves for the Ixal recipes or did I just waste 10 of the most worthless Crafter Tribe currency?

used to be great back in 2.0, crap glamour now

crimson wind
#

How do glamour plates work?

#

Can i essentially have multiple glams on one set?

faint flare
#

You make a plate using glamour in your dresser then you can freely swap to it while in a city

sage plaza
#

they save multiple items into one glamour template that can be applied all at once

faint flare
#

Yes

wary forge
#

All DPS are thrown into the same queue so just play whatever DPS class you like most.

crimson wind
#

Fuck yeah

faint flare
#

You can easily apply the plate to anything for no cost

#

Provided you follow standard glamour rules

sage plaza
#

but only one glam per item slot though

faint flare
#

And you can link plates to gear.sets

sage plaza
#

so can't have two weapon glam in the weapon slot per plate

faint flare
#

So each job has a different glamour

signal garnet
#

ill just play black mage then

faint flare
#

Despite sharing gear

crimson wind
#

That's great

wary forge
#

Except the first time you apply a glamour to an item, that costs one Glamour Prism.

crimson wind
#

So maybe my idealised gear won't go to waste

sage plaza
#

they do look nice for glamour

crimson wind
#

Yes, can dye my Bale shit pink

#

Do i have to do a bluequest to unlock em?

faint flare
#

No

#

Other than just the normal quest to unlock glamour

#

You just go to the inn/squadron barracks to access the dresser

wary forge
#

Glamour Dressers are in Inn Rooms and the Barracks.

crimson wind
#

as if I haven't already unlocked glam

wary forge
#

Armoires too for your super special stuff like event items and the like.

nocturne crane
#

wat is the best materia to DRK?

wary forge
#

Tenacity>Determination I assume.

nocturne crane
#

iam using critical n direct hit

#

According to Balance: Comfy SkS > Crit > DH > Det

wary forge
#

Huh, no Tenacity on a tank?

desert ravine
#

any reason to save fan feathers?

faint flare
#

Tenacity is bad

sage plaza
#

i think you want at least 2.42 gcd for DRK, then follow the above guidance

wary forge
#

To use them during the maximum damage buffs @desert ravine

strange coral
#

Damage is predictable (tankbusters, raid-wide damage, etc) so healers tend to know when to get ready to cover them

open solstice
#

from lv55 onwards is MSQ enough to carry my main to 80? or there will be a lv gap in between so I have to do DR for her

nocturne crane
#

@strange coral u can show me ur gear? iam really confuse now

strange coral
#

I don't have DRK, just looking at info from the Balance discord.

#

!faq balance

zinc orbitBOT
little swift
oak ice
#

Skill speed until you have a gcd of 2.38-2.42, you need to fit 5 GCDs into blood weapon and delirium

little swift
#

for drk

oak ice
#

Then crit>DH>det

#

Tenacity is bad because you need so much of it to be noticeable

upbeat storm
#

how much difference is .03 seconds really?

little swift
#

noticeable

sage plaza
#

enough to make you miss a gcd

oak ice
#

It adds up

little swift
#

helps you align your ogcds as well

upbeat storm
#

but isnt this assuming the person never makes any sort of mistake

wary forge
#

Tenacity isn't just Tank only Determination that also give DR?

little swift
#

think about it this was, compare 2.5 to 2.49

#

every 25 gcds in 2.49

#

you can get 1 more gcd in

#

compared to 2.5

nocturne crane
#

so how i can see my gcd speed?

upbeat storm
#

yeah assuming the person plays pefectly and has 0.00 seconds of delay

muted halo
#

would the starter edition be enough to play the game meaningfully

little swift
#

mouse over any of your weaponskills

sage plaza
#

you can mouse over your gcd skills

little swift
#

the trial is enough to start playing chris

faint flare
#

The damage mitigation from tenacity literally changes nothing and gives less damage than determination

#

Its poor man determination at best

upbeat storm
#

like wouldnt you have to go to .1 second reduction for an average player to make any difference?

little swift
#

starter edition gets you all of a realm reborn, which is still substantial content

#

you should be rolling your gcd non-stop barring mechanics that take you off your target anyways @upbeat storm

nocturne crane
#

2.41 gcd

wary forge
#

Wow, that does suck then. They should buff Tenacity to be equivalent to Determination but with a little bit of DR added on.

sage plaza
#

like wouldnt you have to go to .1 second reduction for an average player to make any difference?
@upbeat storm that there exists latency and mistakes makes the small diff actually more prominent

#

it allows some headroom to still meet a crucial gcd breakpoint

upbeat storm
#

yeah i get that
but in practice for an average person does it make a difference since thats assuming 0 delays and mistakes?

little swift
#

yes it still does

sage plaza
#

some people talk about 25 gcd with +1 gcd

#

i like to talk about a the opener, where you really want that 5th blood weapon

little swift
#

in the time it takes 2.5gcd to get 25gcds in, you get 26gcds at 2.49

#

thats extra damage

sage plaza
#

which allows you to use an extra tbn or edge

#

but yes, if the player is having issue with uptime

upbeat storm
#

if its like that tight then shouldnt people be cutting movement down to absolutes as well? like moving your hit box out of aoe .01 second before aoe goes off if it allows you to get 1 more gcd

sage plaza
#

the best way they can improve the dps is to get better with uptime

little swift
#

for warriors, its the difference between being able to properly align your number of GCDs/upheaval usage and inner release

oak ice
#

It's not gonna matter for people who run around until astral fire runs out

wet cradle
#

I just came back to the game... have they removed skills like protes?

little swift
#

yes protect got removed

wet cradle
#

thanks

little swift
#

and everyone got a defensive increase

wet cradle
faint flare
#

The reduced GCd time helps get all the required amount of GCDs under stuff like Blood weapon and delirium

sage plaza
#

if its like that tight then shouldnt people be cutting movement down to absolutes as well? like moving your hit box out of aoe .01 second before aoe goes off if it allows you to get 1 more gcd
@upbeat storm for blood weapon it's really not about movement, but latency and the fact that bloodweapon lasts 10sec and starts at 10sec

little swift
#

yes ikea

wet cradle
#

thanks šŸ™‚

little swift
#

you can take those off your bar if you want

#

or keep them as a memory

#

its the same idea for inner release on warriors as well

upbeat storm
#

i understand that this is under perfect conditions and it makes a difference.
but for an average player where they can make .5-1 second mistakes does it help?

faint flare
#

Yes

little swift
#

you dump it on the last 0.7 seconds of your gcd recast timer

#

so that you can fit 5 FC

next wind
#

guys, is it possible to use a button on a hotbar which when clicked would open/close another hotbar?

faint flare
#

Again, it matters alot for stuff like Delirium and inner release

little swift
#

yes

You flat out wont fit 5 gcds under those buffs

#

At 2.5

little swift
next wind
#

okay thans

#

thanks

desert ravine
#

i got destroyed by a level 62 monster as a level 60 DNC. is that normal

upbeat storm
#

look i understand that in theory it fits well and matters
but what im asking is how much it matters to an average player who with a small mistake on timing will negate it all?
or am i just that bad if i think that a half second mistake in a 25 second rotation is acceptable?

faint flare
#

Is your gear up to date

#

Or broken

desert ravine
#

i just started using DNC, so the starter gear is 100%

crimson wind
#

So can someone explain rotate strat on Ruby?

quasi spire
#

up until what height do aoe abilities affect? e.g. paladin's total eclipse?

faint flare
#

Your accessories need improving

sage plaza
#

look at it this way, if they're at 2.5 then there's no way they can make that 5th gcd, so even with mistake being at the right skill speed allows them to sometime hit that 5th gcd anyways

#

so some improvement is better than no possibility of improvement

desert ravine
#

ohhh right. it's a level 50 accessory yikes

sage plaza
#

and it's an easy threshold to meet

faint flare
#

Rotate strat for ruby is everyone rotates one Lime clockwise if the Melees end up on a long line

safe niche
crimson wind
#

Ok thanks

faint flare
#

Thats the mount from Ramuh extreme

little swift
#

thats the ramuh ex primal horse

crimson wind
#

Didn't want to put up a farm party w/o knowing what rotate strat is

safe niche
#

is it for a specific class or eligible for all classes ?

faint flare
#

All

safe niche
#

^^

little swift
#

its a mount you can use it on any class

faint flare
#

Only the unicorn is soft class locked

#

But once unlocked

little swift
#

once you've unlocked the mount

#

and mounts in general

faint flare
#

It can be used on any

safe niche
#

Lol, cant wait to put my hands on this thing

faint flare
#

It plays ramuh theme as well

#

When summoned

tropic summit
#

oh snap I completely forgot mounts play music šŸ‘€

#

is there a list of mounts that have different music?

crimson wind
#

Some Duty reward mounts and some mogstation mounts have music

faint flare
#

Mostly mounts from extreme trials do and savage mounts

#

And beast tribe mounts have their own music iirc

crimson wind
#

Also Amaro

#

Does Chocobo have the chocobo music?

Hello I'm trying to figure out something in regards to expansions. If I buy the latest expansion will I get access to all previous expansions?

faint flare
#

Yes

glass kiln
#

Thank you

faint flare

SE always bundles old expansions into the new one to save new players money

Good to confirm

Hey Guys - a question about the Palace of dead: I am atuck on the ground 31 level 48 rogue. It tells me I can not proceed because my Padjal gear is to low - what to do in this case? how to upgrade the gear?

faint flare
#

Go back to previous floors on different saves

#

And farm silver chests

#

You will delete saves often to rerun floors

dapper echo
#

ohh thats how it works

#

if i delete saves - it will not delete all the progress?

faint flare
#

No

dapper echo
#

What are the saves then for at all?

faint flare
#

Your aetherpool is saved

#

Your floor location is deleted

#

You do have 2 different saves

dapper echo
#

I see

#

Should I always keep 1 save or actually doesnt matter?

#

1 highest save

faint flare
#

Doesn't really matter

dapper echo
#

ok

faint flare
#

You can get back there whenever

dapper echo
#

ok good, thanx mate

#

Is palace of the dead really a good leveling tool for my rogue outside of it?

faint flare
#

If que times for dungeons are long, yes

#

Also if you're past lv30 you definitely should be a ninja now

dapper echo
#

ahh right

#

Need to find out where ti become nin first

faint flare
#

Do your class quests

slate arrow
#

have you been doing your class quests

faint flare
#

They're not optional

slate arrow
#

all of your skills are behind them

dapper echo
#

ok gonna check it out in the guild

#

thanx

wet cradle
#

have they added a 3 sec GDC?

#

it feels new

faint flare
#

No

slate arrow
#

no it's always been 2.5

faint flare
#

Still 2.5

wet cradle
#

huh

#

thanks

teal isle
#

this is more of a idle curiosity question than anything critically important - but what are some of the emotes that are behind non-MSQ quests? other than the lower level dance emotes you get in all the cities šŸ¤”

leaden ginkgo
#

Guys, since I am too stupid to keep my mouth shut when I am dealing with harassing/toxic people, how/when can I tell if I am banned?

faint flare
#

You'll get sent to GM jail and a GM will tell you

leaden ginkgo
#

Oh ok

open coral
#

@dapper echo As a rule of thumb, you should always go back to your trainer for class quests every 5 levels until level 50. After that, it drops to every 2-3 levels, and you'll need to keep going back when you get the "you have a new job quest available" text upon leveling up until level 70.

leaden ginkgo
#

@faint flare Is there ANY chance, for the GM to listen to reason or the player who is reported, hearing their story?

open coral
#

Yes

#

They'll explain why you're in jail and you'll have a chance to ask them questions as well.

faint flare
#

Yes but they do have the logs of the chat

leaden ginkgo
#

Ah okay, so they will definitely see what happened. But I assume the logs of EVERYONE, not just what you said, right?

faint flare
#

Yes

leaden ginkgo
#

Perfect, thank you, both of you.

open coral
#

They'll have logs associated with the report, which would include all text sent by all parties involved.

faint flare
#

They see everything that is typed in the chat

leaden ginkgo
#

Yeah, that's good, if it's something like League that would be a problem, but since they can see what happened in the whole chat, that's great.

#

^I know, I know, I shouldn't bring this as an example here, but it was just what popped in my mind, since that was a problem.

#

Thank you, again.

strange coral
teal isle
#

awesome, thank you! šŸ’™

open coral
#

A minor note on that list: some of those are rewards from bluequest which unlock other content (raids, mostly) so you'll typically obtain them as a matter of course if you're doing all of those.

#

And the /embrace emote quest is the wedding quest, so you'll need to get married in game.

teal isle
#

Okay good stuff I appreciate the info

wet cradle
#

can you have multiple different layouts?

open coral
#

For your UI? Yes.

wet cradle
#

oh great

#

yeah I meant layouts

open coral
#

You can have up to 4 saved UI layouts, iirc.

leaden ginkgo
#

What would the best melee class be? Currently level 40 black mate but fancy a melee

faint flare
#

The one thats playing better than others

#

Pick whatever melee you want, balance actually exists in this game

teal isle
#

I've got a bias for ninja, it's great fun to play and the class quests NPCs for both NIN and rogue are endearing (at least imo)

leaden ginkgo
#

If I change my class, it won’t reset the story line right?

faint flare
#

No

#

Once the story is done, its done

dense pier
#

This is my macro right now

/merror
/ac "Benefic II" <mo>
/ac "Benefic II" <t>```
How do I make ti so that, if neither of those exist I cast on myself? Or better yet, holding **ALT** makes it cast on myself?
faint flare
#

Macros dont do conditionals

dense pier
#

Is there a <self> then?

faint flare
#

Me

shrewd relic
#

If you wipe in potd do you keep all the aethetpool upgrades and accursed hordes you received?

faint flare
#

Even then, macroing GCD skills are baf

#

You lose everything to did after the last checkpoints

shrewd relic
#

Imma cry

faint flare
#

Ie if you wipe.on 26. You lose everything from 21-26

shrewd relic
#

Been stuck on 41-50

dense pier
#

Well, I can't heal without mouse-over

lime sphinx
#

so who was like, oh hell yeah lets put the delivery moogles in the worst spot possible

shrewd relic
#

Team keeps wiping on edda

dense pier
#

It's ingrained into me

faint flare
#

Edda is just stand in bad

#

Dont stand*

#

Otherwise it increases the strength of her roomwide

shrewd relic
#

It’s pretty much turn away when she casts the eye above her head and stay out of aoes right?

faint flare
#

Yes

#

Look away from gaze and dont stand in bad

shrewd relic
#

Both queues just wiped anyways smh

faint flare
#

Basically dont get hit

#

Failing mechanics increase damage of her.room wide and eventually wipes

#

Remember pomanders of steel, strength and lust

#

And all

shrewd relic
#

Had some guy just pop it off right when he got in then just stood there saying he’s gonna relook up the fight

#

Dies first

#

Smh

clever cave
#

Edda is look away + in and out aoes

#

Simple even as solo

crimson wind
#

Should i use OGCDs on snael or save them for adds

faint flare
#

Use some to not overcap resources but save most burst for adds

#

Iirc

little swift
#

i delay burst phase until adds since we wall when p2 starts appear but its up to you

leaden ginkgo
#

I curently have only the base game ARR starter edition. If I buy the complete edition, do I get a free 30 day sub or do I have to pay for one on top of it?

faint flare
#

No

#

The free days are from the registering of ARR

#

I dont think you would be able to use the code from complete edition

safe niche
#

I used to be a trial couple of days ago, I bought the complete edition which includes a 30 day gametime.

dense pier
faint flare
#

Cause you registered Arr

leaden ginkgo
#

Ohh, okii thanks

#

If I delete character saved appearance, will that also affect my current made character in the game? I know I can replace them with new ones, but I did so many it's kind of tiring to pick and check pick and check, even with memos.

faint flare
#

No

strange coral
#

@dense pier That looks to me like the collision of the arch extends lower than what's visible so you can't click "through" it

dense pier
#

Yeah, that's what I put in the title of it

#

but there are other times I run into where I don't think it's collision, but maybe it is since I'm so zoomed out

#

and I just can NOT click a enemy

#

This is especially apparently in PvP

#

Where everyone's rolling around at the speed of sound

nimble holly
#

will 5.3 have new crafted/tome DOW/M gear? or is taht 5.4 for the next tier

faint flare
#

5.4

#

For new combat

nimble holly
#

šŸ‘

faint flare
#

5.3 is new crafted gear

#

New tome/crafted combat only comes in with even major patches

#

When ilvl increases

Can you do treasure maps together?

faint flare
#

Thats the main point of 8man maps

leaden ginkgo
#

So if I change class I have to level that class up back to where I was to continue my story quest?

faint flare
#

The random loot is passed out randomly

left cedar
#

Even if one person has the map?

#

Ooh

faint flare
#

And everyone gets the same gil

left cedar
#

Does it work for all maps?

faint flare
#

The mats you roll on depends om the rule set you declare

#

Yes

strange coral
#

@leaden ginkgo Yes

leaden ginkgo
#

Is there a quick way of getting back to the level that I was?

left cedar
#

I haven't seen anything about rule sets

faint flare
#

!faq altlvlguide

zinc orbitBOT
left cedar
#

How do you decide that?

faint flare
#

Because you declare them

left cedar
#

Oh, it's not an in-game thing

faint flare
#

Either Map owner needs or Free for all

left cedar
#

Okay

#

Alright

faint flare
#

lime sphinx
#

faint flare
#

#

Lv67

Most dungeons are in the auto translate dictionary

dense pier
#

Why do I have access to Diurnal Sect(?) if I don't have abilities that it affects yet?

faint flare
#

Because SE weird skill curves

Does the game delete your characters if your subscription runs out before you pay it again?
Sorry if it sounds stupid, just something a friend told me

faint flare

No

no

tropic summit

Does anyone have an updated chocobo colour calculator?
I used this one
https://ffxivchocobo.com/en
and it got my colour wrong twice

south elk
#

ok, thank you

faint flare
#

Characters are safe forever

south elk
#

thats a weight off my mind, tysm!

raven sage
#

The calculator has never been perfect

#

And depending on the color it will almost always be wrong

tropic summit

uncut dome

best way to level dps is potd til 60?
