is there a macro to sort the armory on gear swap?
kind of annoying always having these gaps when checking in
@hot willow do you have any MMO class playstyle preferences in mind?
necromancer is what i usually play
you can try these macros, hol https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/1ta1jw/macros_to_make_auto_sorting_armouryinventory/
60 votes and 35 comments so far on Reddit
but any class with long range and high burst damage is what im looking for
There's no mass minion summoning class, but there's Summoner for DoT management and they have a pet
thanks
and a link for how to use /gearset for swapping jobs
thanks
@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
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

Is Ishgard restoration still a thing? Or do we have to wait for the next patch for events
yes, restoration is still a thing
the only thing that is not happening right now is the fates
And those will come back with 5.3?
yes
I see .. thx for the help
nvm it popped
well some level 60 just rushed it for us lmao
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
You mean the auto-advance thing? Spacebar is the default to turn it on/off
Yes, that thing. Thank you so much 
what are reasons in ffxiv to save up gil?
Teleports, buying a house or if you need crafted gear for a headstart into the next raid tier
alright, that gives me a rough understanding of how valuable gil is then
how much does a house cost?
varies
about 3.5mil minimum
but quite frankly, getting the gil to buy a house is not the hard part of getting a house
Does PLD, Sheltron block a fixed amount of damage?
Or just straight up blocks any damage for the duration.
what about me
Or is it a one hit absorption ?
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
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
@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
@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.
Wait, maybe it blocks everything for its duration
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.
@oak ice how
its block for duration
Sheltron changed on Shadowbringers launch fron the 1 guaranteed block to "block for the duration"
How come it doesn't tell me how much % is blocked?
The % blocked is based on the block strength of your shield
it'll be the same % as a normal chance-based block
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
for 32-41, can always just do potd instead unless you really don't want to do potd
otherwise, can do fates/hunting log but there's no really many other options
once you reach the last upgrade for relic can u choose between the old ones ?
Queue times aren't bad
5 minutes usually, and I'm utilising the time starting other jobs sorting Inv etc
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
No word on news letter yet?
like 200gil or something
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?
The shield gives them passive mitigation in RNG form
how do I see the rewards for frontline? it doesn't say on the duty finder
It also has a portion of the stats that other jobs habe on their weapons
you're missing a chunk of your stats from not wearing a shield
So yes, use a shield
Plus I'm curious why you would even consider not using it

If you don't like using shields you can get Emperor's New Shield from the gold saucer to turn it invisible
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?
Does sheltron not require you have one equipped anyway
no, I'm just curious on how it work
I have no idea cause I play PLD but never not had my shield lol
They would have less stats than the other tanks, so they'd probably die slightly before
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?
@pine bluff which rewards, because the frontline duty finder pages do show what you'll get when you complete a match
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
the roulette itself does not reward exp
Any exp you earn from pvp is from the match itself
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
yes
the duty finder does say reward already received, so I got something but I dont know what
if you're under 80, its just pvp xp and 1k wolf marks
ah ok
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
that sounds strange
are you talking about the 2nd boss specifically? the one that uses the motion tracker attack?
hi guys can i use retainer in dungeon or raid to go battle with me
Retainers can't ever go into a dungeon with you
no, retainers have no combat abilities
and cant even be summoned outside of the summoning bell
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
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
@proud willow it happen 3 times on the second boss and 2 times at the last fight
and always once aoe was starting
bot or miner, they're both fine to choose
what gathering type should i chose for gathering
retainer
When should I work on getting my own retainers?
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
Bc I don't really know the use for them
retainers are your bank/auctioneer
Oh, but you can have crafting/gathering retainers too?
with the ability to be sent out on missions to go out and collect items once you do the quest "an Ill-conceived venture"
Lv 50 unlocks a lot of content so i say you might as well beat the basegame msq at that point
then go to secondary thing like craft and gathering etc
@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
guys gold saucer is important for the game except some reward like mount and haircut
ah i see thats why it gets stuck
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
its an old max lvl dungeon
they don't give good exp in general, because they're not intended to be used for leveling
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)

under the job icons
@trim cove enmity or aggro on the enemy you are currently targetting
Enemy targets the player with the highest enmity
ah, sometimes the bar is half filled or full with different colours, what about those?
example
That I have to say, I don't know
Sounds about right, Red is top, orange is close to top
This is similar to the aggro icons on the enemy list
are totems tradable?
@olive lintel no
Because so far I played just free version I want to ask you
- Will SE support this game with future expansions or they are planning a new game?
- 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
thanks!
they're always planning a new game. but FFXIV has a long future ahead
they're always planning a new game. but FFXIV has a long future ahead
ok thanks, š
They already got the next story arc planned once we wrap up the hyadelyn/zodiark arc so
Plenty more years of support
š¤·āāļø
traditionally the level cap in ff games is like 99? at least 2 more expansions?
hi, what/where is ShB Trial series like Warring Triad in HW and the Four Lords in SB?
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 š
and yeah, IIRC they have already said that after the current arc conclude we might be moving onto America New World and Australia Meracydia
I'm not able to clear lvl 54 samurai job quest
Get better gear
hi guys can i make retainer have pld job
I have i120
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
Once your retainer hits 30 you can advance it into a job
Changing it to a job doesn't do much...just allows them to equip job specific gear
ok got it just for gear to uncreas quantity for item from expdetion hunt etc
increase
item loot
Giving a retainer a job isn't needed at all..
Only if you really want to
i want mate how can this done
@fresh isle Iāve 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, youāll be sleeping through the peak times (evenings) when NA plays, so youāll end up being on your own more often than you think. But, itās doable.

Get the retainer to lv30 and it will tell you the item they require
So do level one characters now already start with 10000MP?
yes
huh, awkward. But I guess not weird if you never knew different
think about it like 100% mana instead
Myeah, that feels sensible.
Is there any crafters here that can help me craft low level gear that is not available in the market? I'm willing to pay.
Low level gear for what class?
Weaver
The advice I've seen is to level all crafters at the same time because then they can craft for each other
Trying to get high quality versions of some parts
tank materia uses direct hit as well?
on all the tanks except warrior its prioritized after crit yes
urgh

i play on the Japanese servers with about that much
what happens to the duty roulette if you start a duty before reset, but it finishes after reset
Is black mage the easiest and most tireless dps classes to play in this game?
Subjective
Itās 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.
red mage is the easiest probably when it comes to rotation
Not sure what you mean by tireless exactly
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.
Um
with /gpose is there a way to zoom in and out smoothly?
Honestly thatās just the base level of difficulty in this game
How much uptime do I lose if I'm doing no rotate ruby on melee?
depends on if you get a short edge or long edge
Long
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
I just don't know why I'm only hitting 5.5k dps on DRK
the checks are quite lenient
I just hit ogcds when they come off cd
you're probably dropping a lot harder than you think due to uptime
plug the log into xivanalysis
do you have a log?
!wl @crimson wind
Dark Knight: (6393/11664) [6982 DPS] [45 Historical] [7:24]
here's some big things to improve
more plunge usage
uptime is low
darkside off a lot
this is phase 1
those are just some basic things to work with
Hm
you were probably off the boss more than you think
since you likely played safer on mechanics
i think the biggest thing is keeping darkside up
even in your p2 logs its dropping a bit
i'm looking at it from this
I mean how long would it take me to get 3000 MP back
just a basic analysis
you're probably also not fitting enough gcds into blood weapon
so its a small mana loss
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
If you want to have more characters, what do they share and in which situations - different server, world?
Siphon is 600
@fresh isle curious to know why you even want multiple characters?
So maybe I shouldn't spam EoS
Only account mounts, Only vets rewards
@faint flare those are account bound?
@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
- more clothing options
@fresh isle I havenāt yet finished MSQ and gotten to the high end content. So itās manageable but it is noticeable and every time Iāve checked itās been a similar ping. I do know there are solutions (using VPN etc). If you find itās 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.

hey everyone, i logged in today and my interface changed.. looks like a controller settings however i am using keyboard. does anyone know why this randomly happened and how can i turn it off?
ahh i think i figured it out
apparently i accidentally clicked the mouse switch 
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
Aww, really? well deng.
That's fair...wished it was supported at least.
Gaming is forever cursed by Microsoft having designed their face buttons like that.
dnc's at lvl 72, what's flourish for
does it go into devilment or is it too short because of tech step
!action flourish
free dps
Activates all procs
You use it on cooldown
Preferably when you have no procs
Then you use all the procs
guh, well oh well. I'll probably just, make the layout on Steam to the Xbox layout on the Pro Controller. :P
It lines up naturally with Techincal and devilment
and just get used to it
Okay I need some serious help
How do I do carpentry? He wants a Maple Lumber, how do I go about getting one?
Open your crafting log
You'll see the recipe
Left click on it
Click "Synthesis"
Open your crafting log with N (default)
Make sure you have the required materials in your inventory
Yeah I need to get the required materials, which is what I am confused with
Also make sure you're a carpenter when you try to synth
the vendor has the logs
Buy them from the vendor in the carpenterās guild
Is there a way I can get the logs myself?
look for a guild vendor person
You should see a NPC called "Guild Supplier"
yes with botany
Okay!
Gathered by botanist
I'd rather gather them myself to level botany (free trial user currently)
But honestly low level materials cost a pittance. I recommend just buying it
Oh, okay
It's like 7 gil a log or 5 minutes of work
So should I switch to Botany, go start the level 1 quest from there?
Yes
If you desire
Okay thank you all~ Quick replies
You always have to be on the correct class to do anything
How edgy is drk? I want to raise all Dow to 50 at least, but I can't stand excessive edge.
The story for DRK job quests from 30-50 is edgy af
nanometer point edge, sharpened by darkness and angst
It's literally powered by your dark side. That's... that's the entire point of DRK.
DRK is the edgiest class in the game but it has the best story out of all of the jobs
What are the mounts out that can carry two people?
I know about the car but I dont think I can get that one
wedding chocobo,
draught chocobo from recruit a friend,
parade chocobo from mentor roulette
skyslipper eden raid
shit
theres the car as well as you said but unavaliable right now
Other 2 seaters are on Mogstation
how hard is e4s?
those are the free options, there are others on mog yup
Like fat moogle and whale
hard
rock hard
and unlikely you'll find anyone for it
since that's last tier content now
With new gear checks are abit more lenient but you need to respect all mechanics
And do them properly
I thought that was e8s
ohh ok
eden savage is a dungeon?
E - eden
Number is the floor
S means savage
its a trial I think?
Its a raid tier
ah

just joined three random guilds like the weavers guild. do i just like fight with the weapons they gave me like the needle?
wdym?
weavers don't fight or do damage
but typically yes, if the guild is a DoW / DoM you'll typically fight with the weapon you use
Crafters make stuff for xp
Gatherers gather stuff for xp
Neither fight
Cause they'll die immediately
Gotta get those 30 damage pokes

why do some people look for lalas to sacrifice?
make stuff? how the hell do i make stuff with the neddle
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
what lol
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
but basically not theyre kinda useless
wait there is no tutorial
haha thought so. thx anyways š
do paladins get a charge/rush/gap closer ability
There's cosmetic rewards to get from the beast tribes, and materia from some of them
Yes
most people only do them for that little extra exp but mount reward over time
ah cool
looked to the wikiand stuff thanks based wiki
@quiet magnet Open your crafting log (N key if using keyboard) to see your recipes and synthesize (craft) items.

Mac: Open Terminal and type ping *insert IP Address here*
Where do I fo to find my ip?
add -t at the end to run continuously. i always run this every time playing ff14
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.
so this?
wow. that's quite big latency there
oof
150ms would be ideal
If you play on Aether, yes
Are you from NA?
150 is ideal but even 300 is fine. 500 is stretching it though..
Yeah, im just unable to play from home since im moving so im at a relatives place.
at 300ms, u need to preempt to dodge AOEs
I pinged aether
ye
& if running craft macro, 300 ms would sometimes fail steps
huh, wonder why your ping is so high. out of curiosity try pinging the other NA servers?
other NA servers are primal, crystal
also if you're not wired any interference will raise your latency significantly
Primal: 204.2.229.10
Crystal: 204.2.229.11
Does anyone know any blu meld resources?
Im running on aethernet
maybe try finding your server IP instead, from what i told u earlier? maybe got better accurate latency
the one i circled on picture
@upbeat storm check the balance
they dont have
it's under one of the pins iirc
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
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?
ohhhh i get good ping to my server
now that's your average latencies
@shut sigil your best percentile
@shut sigil you're in the 19th percentile
getting under 100ms would be super tho
You're better than 19% of all parses
NA playing on JP server
out of every run you had, you had one run that put you at the 19th percentile
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
@slate arrow @static yacht Ah I understand, thank you.
Wait so what do I show you?@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
also this was from primal
o-o
if i was always pinging 500+... i would say change servers
this @signal garnet
might just be a poor wifi router being shite
Im running on Ethernet
what kind of connection do you have at home

Costanze where do you live ?
im all the way in australia, and pinging aether I'm getting 153ms
@signal garnet try pinging the other servers, including EU and JP ones
If you're living in NA it looks like someone is using Netflix on the same network
see if you get different results
My ping is low because im not on my normal router. I just wanted to see if it was somehow playable
er, not low
you in North America ?
Yes
so just horrible internet at moment
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
yea, best bet check pings on other DC
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
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.
but I don't think a bad router can really spike your ping that badly
I don't think anyone is streaming anything at the moment
I mean it's playable...
you'll have trouble dodging attacks
but it'll be 'playable'
my relatives computer is on, but theyre not in and they mostly use it for work/checking emails
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
tethering to your phone sounds expensive
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?
mine cost like 10$ & getting like 15gb monthly.
3G/4G connection at home if that makes more sense. I dont know what you call it in NA
15gb internet quota
JPN internet š¦
and phone plans
in Canada / USA
there are phone monopolys
so the phone plans tend to cost a lot more
I pay $80.00 CAD for 10 gbs
anyways, it's just for checking for comparison if your home internet being drained on other uses or not
and that was a one time promotional offer
oooo 80$?
no comment then... š
there's phone monopoly here as well. for example, my data plan won't allow access to netflix, while other service provider allows em. š
well... not without using vpn that is...
This could probably be moved to #not-ffxiv-discussion
sorry. anyhoo... like i said, try using other net provider like your phone tethers to check if still has latency issues
š¤£
it might be an internet speed issue then
rip
there's ur answer: ur home net got hogged. lawl
ill only have to bear with it for a few weeks thankfully
that's some fishy emailing there
it's not a speed issue
if on wifi router, maybe could set up bandwith limit for other access than yours
speed and latency are unrelated
the next step in the troubleshooting process is probably a tracert
do this: tracert 204.2.229.9
that can be a bit technical though
nah it's just that 1 command, then paste us the results
ah yea, that works. can be a bit lengthy tho.
if it's lengthy, then there's the problem haha
mine was 12 steps. from australia to NA
š
I suspect @signal garnet's ISP is routing his internet traffic all the way across the world and then back again

Rough day in LA
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
yea, it's also happening over ff11 as well from what i heard, mostly for NA/EU
nah... some DDoS attacks
No, it's not FF
Just entire internet cutting off
Which has been the norm in the US for a while
oh...
It's not an issue with the connections to the services
It's the service providers who are at fault
guess i could relate. my latencies literally just doubles up mostly since covid-19 became widespread... v.v
sometimes huge annoying rubberbanding on hunts
ah... that reminds me: are there ways to check your bandwith charts whenever there's huge activities like hunts happening & rubberbanding stuff?
i only got that error occasionally if playing on 32 bit version tho
i am trying to become a rogue in limsa lominsa, but the quest is red. what does this mean and how can i become a rogue?
Reach level 10 first
im level 18
Are you doing the main quests ?
MSQ till it let's u take alt jobs
yes I have been doing them until i arrived in limsa
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
Quests from your class's guild. With the
icon
thanks š
Should also be under your main scenario tracker
how valued is bard in raid groups?
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?
@signal garnet they're all the same
Bards are valued for their raid buffs
Yes, if there is anything in that spot on the tracker, you should be doing it asap
you literally just want one ranged physical dps
team comp doesn't matter as long as you don't have dupes
ah ok
and ideally you have 1 melee, 1 caster, 1 physical ranged
Be comfy with double ranged and caster 
is bard a commonly seen class then?
as much as any other class
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?
nope. it's really worthless
I went from dps to tank, but I want a dps thats pretty easy to manage while being wanted
used to be great back in 2.0, crap glamour now
You make a plate using glamour in your dresser then you can freely swap to it while in a city
they save multiple items into one glamour template that can be applied all at once
Yes
All DPS are thrown into the same queue so just play whatever DPS class you like most.
Fuck yeah
You can easily apply the plate to anything for no cost
Provided you follow standard glamour rules
but only one glam per item slot though
And you can link plates to gear.sets
so can't have two weapon glam in the weapon slot per plate
So each job has a different glamour
ill just play black mage then
Despite sharing gear
That's great
Except the first time you apply a glamour to an item, that costs one Glamour Prism.
So maybe my idealised gear won't go to waste
they do look nice for glamour
No
Other than just the normal quest to unlock glamour
You just go to the inn/squadron barracks to access the dresser
Glamour Dressers are in Inn Rooms and the Barracks.
as if I haven't already unlocked glam
Armoires too for your super special stuff like event items and the like.
wat is the best materia to DRK?
Tenacity>Determination I assume.
iam using critical n direct hit
According to Balance: Comfy SkS > Crit > DH > Det
Huh, no Tenacity on a tank?
any reason to save fan feathers?
Tenacity is bad
i think you want at least 2.42 gcd for DRK, then follow the above guidance
To use them during the maximum damage buffs @desert ravine
Damage is predictable (tankbusters, raid-wide damage, etc) so healers tend to know when to get ready to cover them
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
@strange coral u can show me ur gear? iam really confuse now
Skill speed until you have a gcd of 2.38-2.42, you need to fit 5 GCDs into blood weapon and delirium
for drk
how much difference is .03 seconds really?
noticeable
enough to make you miss a gcd
It adds up
helps you align your ogcds as well
but isnt this assuming the person never makes any sort of mistake
Tenacity isn't just Tank only Determination that also give DR?
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
so how i can see my gcd speed?
yeah assuming the person plays pefectly and has 0.00 seconds of delay
would the starter edition be enough to play the game meaningfully
mouse over any of your weaponskills
you can mouse over your gcd skills
the trial is enough to start playing chris
The damage mitigation from tenacity literally changes nothing and gives less damage than determination
Its poor man determination at best
like wouldnt you have to go to .1 second reduction for an average player to make any difference?
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
2.41 gcd
Wow, that does suck then. They should buff Tenacity to be equivalent to Determination but with a little bit of DR added on.
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
yeah i get that
but in practice for an average person does it make a difference since thats assuming 0 delays and mistakes?
yes it still does
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
in the time it takes 2.5gcd to get 25gcds in, you get 26gcds at 2.49
thats extra damage
which allows you to use an extra tbn or edge
but yes, if the player is having issue with uptime
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
the best way they can improve the dps is to get better with uptime
for warriors, its the difference between being able to properly align your number of GCDs/upheaval usage and inner release
It's not gonna matter for people who run around until astral fire runs out
I just came back to the game... have they removed skills like protes?
yes protect got removed
thanks
and everyone got a defensive increase
so I guess the skills with the red bar have been removed from the game?
The reduced GCd time helps get all the required amount of GCDs under stuff like Blood weapon and delirium
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
yes ikea
thanks š
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
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?
Yes
you dump it on the last 0.7 seconds of your gcd recast timer
so that you can fit 5 FC
guys, is it possible to use a button on a hotbar which when clicked would open/close another hotbar?
Again, it matters alot for stuff like Delirium and inner release
yes
bruce check out some of the pins in #protips-and-ui
i got destroyed by a level 62 monster as a level 60 DNC. is that normal
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?
i just started using DNC, so the starter gear is 100%
So can someone explain rotate strat on Ruby?
up until what height do aoe abilities affect? e.g. paladin's total eclipse?
Your accessories need improving
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
ohhh right. it's a level 50 accessory yikes
and it's an easy threshold to meet
Rotate strat for ruby is everyone rotates one Lime clockwise if the Melees end up on a long line
Does anyone know what is the name of this beautiful mount ?
Ok thanks
Thats the mount from Ramuh extreme
thats the ramuh ex primal horse
Didn't want to put up a farm party w/o knowing what rotate strat is
is it for a specific class or eligible for all classes ?
All
^^
its a mount you can use it on any class
It can be used on any
Lol, cant wait to put my hands on this thing
oh snap I completely forgot mounts play music š
is there a list of mounts that have different music?
Some Duty reward mounts and some mogstation mounts have music
Mostly mounts from extreme trials do and savage mounts
And beast tribe mounts have their own music iirc

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?
Yes
Thank you
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?
Go back to previous floors on different saves
And farm silver chests
You will delete saves often to rerun floors
No
What are the saves then for at all?
Your aetherpool is saved
Your floor location is deleted
You do have 2 different saves
Doesn't really matter
ok
You can get back there whenever
ok good, thanx mate
Is palace of the dead really a good leveling tool for my rogue outside of it?
If que times for dungeons are long, yes
Also if you're past lv30 you definitely should be a ninja now
Do your class quests
have you been doing your class quests
They're not optional
all of your skills are behind them
No
no it's always been 2.5
Still 2.5
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 š¤
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?
You'll get sent to GM jail and a GM will tell you
Oh ok
@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.
@faint flare Is there ANY chance, for the GM to listen to reason or the player who is reported, hearing their story?
Yes
They'll explain why you're in jail and you'll have a chance to ask them questions as well.
Yes but they do have the logs of the chat
Ah okay, so they will definitely see what happened. But I assume the logs of EVERYONE, not just what you said, right?
Yes
Perfect, thank you, both of you.
They'll have logs associated with the report, which would include all text sent by all parties involved.
They see everything that is typed in the chat
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.
@teal isle These are all the emotes from quests https://ffxivcollect.com/emotes?q[sources_type_id_eq]=13
awesome, thank you! š
A minor note on that list: some of those are rewards from
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.
Okay good stuff I appreciate the info
can you have multiple different layouts?
For your UI? Yes.
You can have up to 4 saved UI layouts, iirc.
What would the best melee class be? Currently level 40 black mate but fancy a melee
The one thats playing better than others
Pick whatever melee you want, balance actually exists in this game
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)
If I change my class, it wonāt reset the story line right?
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?
Macros dont do conditionals
Is there a <self> then?
Me
If you wipe in potd do you keep all the aethetpool upgrades and accursed hordes you received?
Even then, macroing GCD skills are baf
You lose everything to did after the last checkpoints
Imma cry
Ie if you wipe.on 26. You lose everything from 21-26
Been stuck on 41-50
Well, I can't heal without mouse-over
so who was like, oh hell yeah lets put the delivery moogles in the worst spot possible
Team keeps wiping on edda
It's ingrained into me
Edda is just stand in bad
Dont stand*
Otherwise it increases the strength of her roomwide
Itās pretty much turn away when she casts the eye above her head and stay out of aoes right?
Both queues just wiped anyways smh
Basically dont get hit
Failing mechanics increase damage of her.room wide and eventually wipes
Remember pomanders of steel, strength and lust
And all
Had some guy just pop it off right when he got in then just stood there saying heās gonna relook up the fight
Dies first
Smh
Should i use OGCDs on
or save them for adds
i delay burst phase until adds since we wall when p2 starts appear but its up to you
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?
No
The free days are from the registering of ARR
I dont think you would be able to use the code from complete edition
I used to be a trial couple of days ago, I bought the complete edition which includes a 30 day gametime.
Is there any way to remedy this?
https://clips.twitch.tv/IncredulousBigMushroomPJSugar
Click registration for me is a huge problem with this game, with collision (I believe) being the biggest cause of it.
Watch 3ybx's clip titled "FFXIV Click Registration (collision issue on this one)"
Cause you registered Arr
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.
No
@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
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
will 5.3 have new crafted/tome DOW/M gear? or is taht 5.4 for the next tier
š
5.3 is new crafted gear
New tome/crafted combat only comes in with even major patches
When ilvl increases
Yes
How does that work? Everyone gets the same rewards from every map?

Thats the main point of 8man maps
So if I change class I have to level that class up back to where I was to continue my story quest?
The random loot is passed out randomly
And everyone gets the same gil
Does it work for all maps?
@leaden ginkgo Yes
Is there a quick way of getting back to the level that I was?
I haven't seen anything about rule sets
!faq altlvlguide
How do you decide that?
Because you declare them
Oh, it's not an in-game thing
Either Map owner needs or Free for all
Are the main commom rules
So to make my retainer a RDM, i need to get him to 50 with any other DOW/M class ?
Yes
what does doma castle in auto translate mean again?
okay thanks !
Why do I have access to Diurnal Sect(?) if I don't have abilities that it affects yet?
can a lvl 80 unsync a lvl 70 dungeon fairly quickly
Hell undraw still exists
not quite cerberus
:(
which one?
swallows compass
yea i think not
okay, what does it mean for jpn datacenters when doma castle is auto translated?
I remember it has a meaning
but I forgot about it
google says dirt
context is a positive one-ish kind i think
well, i say positive because I was laughing my ass off while I run towards spawn with a horde
i remember seeing it before and got an answer, but I've forgotten about it after not seeing it for a long time
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
No
no
Does anyone have an updated chocobo colour calculator?
I used this one
https://ffxivchocobo.com/en
and it got my colour wrong twice
ok, thank you
Characters are safe forever
thats a weight off my mind, tysm!
The calculator has never been perfect
And depending on the color it will almost always be wrong
best way to level dps is potd til 60?
yes if you're alone
if you have a healer / tank friend its dungeon spam
make sure you do roulettes first
sweet thanks
