[fresh dagger]

jimmeny

[marble drift]

they are an eternal enemy.

[fresh dagger]

how long until we start getting their armor?

[faint flare]

You get their armour as part of one of the stormblood quests

For reasons

[marble drift]

Its a variation. Its not proper Imperial armor

but its still cool

you also get some infantry man armor in an ARR quest. but its kinda barebones imo

[novel wasp]

Idk if any ninja players can help me out. So I've been given that one extremely long ninja guide a read and I have the opener down now but I'm a bit confused about after that.

[faint flare]

Use things on cooldown

[novel wasp]

So it seems I want to try and line everything uo for trick windows

[faint flare]

Keep huton up

Dont hold anything cause you'll lose uses

[novel wasp]

Ok so use my mudras as they are about to cap

Into I assume raiton?

[faint flare]

Yes

[novel wasp]

And make surr I am ablut to cap goinf into a trick window?

For two raitons in trick?

[faint flare]

And a ice shurkiren via kassatsu

[marble drift]

Hyosho Ranryu or however its spelt

[novel wasp]

Okay so outaide of trixk just my regular 1 2 3 combo?

[marble drift]

yeh

[novel wasp]

And armor xrush for the buff?

[faint flare]

Thats actually how it's spelt

[marble drift]

oh real? i winged it.

Go me

armor crush apparently at less than 40 seconds on your huton

so sayeth

!faq balance

[zinc orbit]

The Balance

Info

Discord

[marble drift]

these bois

[novel wasp]

Also doea the order matter in the second trick window?

Or is it just fit everytging in there

[faint flare]

Your trick windows ate basically thr same

Everytime

[novel wasp]

Well some cds arent up so its the same minus what iant up?

[faint flare]

With the exception of 90sec cooldowns

So yeah

[novel wasp]

Ok thats pretty straight forward

[faint flare]

Openers align things up nicely so you can just press shit on cooldowns and it plays itself

[novel wasp]

Opener...1 2 3 with armor crush and a raiton to avoid cap...qhen trick is up use cds that are up similar to opener...repeat

That it more or less?

[marble drift]

right thats the vanilla variant

and now forget all that for savage. because hardly any fight lets you sit on a boss uninterupted for 90 seconds

aint no Patchwerk's in FFXIV.

[faint flare]

idol of darkness says hello

[marble drift]

I mean it literally goes untargetable twice

and stuns you at least 3 times

[novel wasp]

So you would peobably want to hols it till there is a 15 sec window?

I assume?

Or is it better to nust let it rip

On cd

[faint flare]

Depends on fight but you.can mostly get it out on cd

[marble drift]

its better to hold. if you let it rip then immediately have to bail

its a massive waste

but if you hold it for too long

its ALSO a waste.

[novel wasp]

My poor small brain

[marble drift]

its about finding that Balance

[novel wasp]

Lmao

[marble drift]

bah-dum-tish

[faint flare]

Forced downtimes

[novel wasp]

Okay well this has srill been helpful

[marble drift]

I feel ninjas are especially vunerable to that.

as Trick Attack is literally thier lifeblood

[novel wasp]

Also what dps range should I be shooting for as a 480 in crafted

Just so I know if I meed to improve something

It probably varies foght to fight

[marble drift]

it does

clear the training dummy for your fight and you're on the right track

otherwise. consult fflogs

[novel wasp]

Where would I find that?

The dummy

[marble drift]

Stone, Sky, Sea. right outside eulmore.

[faint flare]

Outside eulmore at gatetown

[novel wasp]

Ok cool! Thanks fellas!

[marble drift]

best of luck you giant weeb :3

[novel wasp]

:^)

[novel orbit]

I think I saw someone with the title principle dancer, how do i get that?

[leaden ginkgo]

How do you mechanically walk thru ice?

I mean, you'll slide but what's the correct way to maneuver?

[marble drift]

with the slippery floor things?

a single press forward

and be in the right position beforehand

[faint flare]

And have an idea where you want to go

[leaden ginkgo]

so i need to face the place i want to go then just press forward?

[faint flare]

Dont need to face

Just turn your camera and press forward

And you'll go that direction

[leaden ginkgo]

Oooh, that helps a lot. thanks!

[marble drift]

@novel orbit that title doesn't exist apparently

sure that wasn't just thier name

or at least google is comin' up empty

[fresh oasis]

can anyone give me gysahl green? i think i cant buy it rn but i need it for a quest

[marble drift]

you're in the Shroud right?

head back to Gridania.

very close to the main aetheryte there is a vendor for "Black Rabbit Traders"

they sell greens

[frozen karma]

some websites say 50 and some others 30 for dark knight quest, which one is which?

[marble drift]

50

[green grail]

you need to have a lvl 50 character and reached ishgard through lvl 50 msq to unlock DRK which starts at 30

so the first drk quest is probably lvl 30

[marble drift]

as the class starts at 30

[green grail]

but it's behind a lot of lvl 50 quests

[twilit arch]

no

The first quest for dark knight , aka the unlock is lvl 50

[west swallow]

when I play the last MSQ of Shadowbringer, other player get +-100k HP what armor set is this, and how do I get it?

[faint flare]

Tomestones, raids or buying neo ishgardian

They just have much higher ilvl than you

Since ilvl cap is i500 now

[west swallow]

allagan tomestone? or the new on e that I just get for this new raid/dungeon

[faint flare]

And the last trial of Shadowbringers you'll have like i430 gear and whstever accessories you have

[marble drift]

every xpac has new tomes.

[faint flare]

The new one, phastmagoria (i460) and allegory (i490)

!faq gearguide

[zinc orbit]

Gearing up by level

Info

Click on a link below to view the gear guides on consolegamewiki.

Level 50
Level 60
Level 70
Level 80

[faint flare]

Check the lv80 link

For all lv80 gear and how to acquire

Especially since you need higher ilvl for post Shadowbringers dungeons

[west swallow]

oh thank you for this link

[tropic summit]

If my priority is to farm Phantasmagoria tomestones, is it worth doing all the roulettes, still? Even MSQ?

[marble drift]

nah. 80 roulette will be fine

[agile laurel]

Why do people spam like morons to be invited to Eureka groups if there's no actual NMs up? Surely that doesn't achieve anything?

[raven sage]

Doing things in a group is more efficient. You don't need nms to group up

[agile laurel]

huh. mkay

[thorny summit]

how does one add people from other worlds when I haven't seen them in chat at all

google doesn't help with this ussie at all "just click their name in chat "

[old flame]

UI Question: does the action bars allow shift modifers? like I have main action bar 1-12, hold shift; I get a second action bar I can use still with 1-12?

[tropic summit]

@marble drift Yeah? Just run 80roulette over and over?

[marble drift]

you can assign other buttons on different bars for shift actions

[thorny summit]

^

[upper orchid]

If I accept a duty during a cutscene, will it go back to the cutscene after the duty?

[thorny summit]

u can watch the cutscene again at ur inn if you don't

[marble drift]

you cannot accept during a cutscene

[raven sage]

@thorny summit if they're online, you can either meet up with them through world visit or visit the world they're from and search them

[thorny summit]

I don't even know how to world visit lol

been playing since HW and have never done it before

[raven sage]

Go to a main aetheryte in the first 3 cities

[thorny summit]

a'ight thanks

[leaden ginkgo]

Does anyone know of any dungeons that drop Garlean-looking equipment? Like plated armor?

[marble drift]

can you pinpoint a specific garlean you wanna look like?

[leaden ginkgo]

Something that kind of resembles more of the upper echelon's equipment.

[marble drift]

Like Nero? not really a thing

[velvet night]

i'm new to the new endgame. is there still a weekly cap on blade of early antiquity or can i get 4 in a row without having to wait for the resets?

[marble drift]

early? no cap. golden antiquity? theres a cap

[velvet night]

ok ty

[marble drift]

basically for the current set of raids theres a cap

[leaden ginkgo]

I'm amazed there's no garlean looking stuff on the Mogstation by now

[marble drift]

the absolute closest I can point you to is

[leaden ginkgo]

Will I still be able to participate in Ishgard Restoration even if my server has all of it built?

[marble drift]

yes

[leaden ginkgo]

someone said that it's shadowbringers content or something

and that I may not be able to level up my gathering/crafting professions

like it'll be locked in July

[twilit arch]

restoration starts at lvl 10 for gatherers and lvl 20 for crafters

[marble drift]

but you need access to it first. which requires a set amount of MSQ progression

[twilit arch]

the only thing not active right now for the restoration is the fates

[marble drift]

I don't believe there are plans to remove it

considering its closely tied to the new Diadem gathering

[leaden ginkgo]

what's Diadem Gathering?

[marble drift]

and it has rewards available from its unique currency

[faint flare]

Its where you gey mats for the restoration

[marble drift]

and by process, level them

[leaden ginkgo]

ok

[stable hinge]

I've only got the omega savage raids unlocked

Any idea where I can find other ones? I'd preferrably go after them in order of release

[faint flare]

Each savage requires their respective nornal mode done

They unlock basically the same way as omega

[marble drift]

Well in order of release they are: Binding Coil of Bahamut, Alexander, Omegascape and finally Eden.

[gritty oracle]

Hoiw do I have more than three favoured tp spots?

[faint flare]

Ie do Alexander normal for savage

[stable hinge]

Where do I find binding coil?

[gritty oracle]

aleport

[stable hinge]

Ty

[marble drift]

@gritty oracle did you get the little app thing?

gives you another one

[stable hinge]

anything I should have done beforehand before I can unlock the quest?

[gritty oracle]

the OTP should only be good for unlocking one free destination

[stable hinge]

im lv73

[gritty oracle]

not another favoured one

nope

[faint flare]

Only requirement for coils is base arr done

[stable hinge]

Thank you

what level is the raid btw? im assuming 50 but im kinda hoping its 70 so ill have TBN

[faint flare]

Yes

It starts in waking sands for coils

[frigid sigil]

when can I buy the lvl 60 poetics gear?

[faint flare]

Quest: Primal awaking

[stable hinge]

I think sharlayan

[faint flare]

When yoy get access to Idyllshire

[marble drift]

Idylshire @frigid sigil

[frigid sigil]

asking cause my samurai is close to 60 but I only just reached churning mist

[marble drift]

also Hikari in the order I listed

it goes 50,60,70,80

[frigid sigil]

how much longer until idylshire

[marble drift]

so Coil, Alex, Omega, Eden

[faint flare]

Much longer

[stable hinge]

Thanks

[frigid sigil]

oh ok

[agile laurel]

msq is horrifically overleveling atm

[faint flare]

Idyllshire is like lv57 ish msq

[stable hinge]

I really wanted to do omega for the omega mount but no one ever queues for it

[faint flare]

Because no one ques for any savage

[agile laurel]

savages are organised content

[faint flare]

Party finder is the way for any savage or extreme

[agile laurel]

doing them with randos from queue is suicide

[marble drift]

right no-one really gives a hoot bar some dedicated folks about doing old savage raiding

[frigid sigil]

maybe I'll try to split the exp on another class then

[stable hinge]

Fair point

[frigid sigil]

part of my leveling unintentionally though is also just doing the daily duties

[solemn delta]

Watched a video can you still power level BLU with an 80 friend if you get the spell that tags mobs?

[marble drift]

any spell works for that

[solemn delta]

Or did they fix it?

[marble drift]

but the best one is Flying Sardine

nope. still a thing

its only good as blue mage

cause they get a crazy amount of xp

[solemn delta]

Yeah that was in the video

[marble drift]

from random mobs

[solemn delta]

Yeah of course

[marble drift]

cause you can do on every class but the xp for regular classes is large trash

[solemn delta]

I'm getting every job to 70 and about 10 80s with road to 70 buff

Think i have 22 days left

But that's cool if I can level BLU super fast

Even without road to 70?

[marble drift]

without road to 70

you can be done in like a few hours

[solemn delta]

Still very fast

[marble drift]

with a buddy

so yeah no sweat

[solemn delta]

Yeah I'll do for him he does for me

I'll maybe do with road to 70 be twice as quick lol

[tardy lake]

How do i get a subscription

[solemn delta]

Mogststio

Uff

Mogstation

[fair lagoon]

I heard there is an update that improves the story progression in the works. Any idea when it's coming out? I'm just starting the game and wondering if I should just play it as is now or wait

[solemn delta]

Next month likely.

At least a month away

[faint flare]

Late july/early August if there's ni further delays

Since its so far away you'll be done with arr by the time it hits

[solemn delta]

We have limited info besides content atm

But a rough idea

So yeah, if you want to play the game for the sake of maybe half the quests after you complete the first expansion I wouldn't say its worth waiting.

[faint flare]

Ignore

[solemn delta]

Just a quick one about powerleveling BLU. Any recommendations on areas?

[faint flare]

Azy la

Tag 59 mobs

[solemn delta]

I have multiple 80s so I can go whatever

My friend has WHM and bard 80

Cool

Think every job to 70 is doable?

With a lot of grinding?

21 days left

My only issues are gonna be the dps queues

[upbeat storm]

force someone to party with you as healer or tank

[solemn delta]

yeah. Or I could potd but everyone knows how brain cell destroying that is

I don't mind HoH

61-70 in 4 hours

[upbeat storm]

just pay someone is also an option

[sleek pagoda]

uuuh, can anybody tell me how to exactly use sharpcast on BLM?

[solemn delta]

Nah mate look how much I've done in 65 odd days lol

Can't stop now!

[faint flare]

Use sharpcast on either thunder or fire. I believe it doesn't matter which

As long as its used

[solemn delta]

I'm in a savage static now to keep me sane but off topic.

[hollow pelican]

So, what are the most important melds for a DRK?

[gritty oracle]

Will I need more than 24 umbrite for an anima weapon?

[faint flare]

Comfy sks (2.38s gcd to 2.42) > crit > dh > det

[twilit arch]

you need between 60-80 umbrite and crystal sand

[vocal venture]

When i do Memoria Misera i see ppl is able to deploy the marks instantly, how do i do that?

[faint flare]

Saved waymarks

Open the waymark menu and press the arrow

[zinc orbit]

Flying FAQ

Info

'How can I unlock Flying?'

Flying is unlocked through the collecting of a zone's Aether Currents, with every zone having ten 'green' Aether Currents found in the overworld and five 'yellow' Aether Currents obtained through the MSQ and side quests marked with a plus sign. Azys Lla is the only zone to not have any green Aether Currents. You must collect all Aether Currents in a zone to be able to fly.

'Where can I find the green Aether Currents?'

Upon obtaining the Black Chocobo mount you are also given an Aether Compass, which is a key item you can use to locate the nearest non-quest Aether Current. This can be set to your Hotbar for ease of use. Alternatively, you can use this website to show the location of all Aether Currents for a zone. http://heavenswhere.com/

'What zones can I fly in?'

Flying is only possible in the expansion zones.

[mild ermine]

I just keep seeing conflicting arguments

[polar hound]

Every mount flies. Easiest is subjective. CNJ gets one for free, you can buy some on mogstation etc.

If you need to use something on something

[west swallow]

so I stuck in the first new MSQ dungeon after ShB ending
I need 430 ilevel average to open the dungeon

[faint flare]

Refer to the gear guide i posted earlier

[rotund spoke]

Sorry to interrupt but how active is the game on PS4?

[faint flare]

The same as pc

[west swallow]

yeah I need a ton of Tomestone

[faint flare]

Cause they play together

[tidal yarrow]

super active! and it's cross plat anyway

[faint flare]

Eden gate normal

Gives i450

[mild ermine]

Which sect should I be using on Astro

[faint flare]

And only.needs i425

Primarily Diurnal

[tranquil valve]

@mild ermine 90% of the time, Diurnal

[raw solstice]

generally diurnal, unless you're paired with another AST who's in diurnal, or paired with a WHM in a fight where you need shields

[west swallow]

ah thank you

[mild ermine]

Thank you.

[rotund spoke]

That means I could transfer my old character over from pc?

[faint flare]

Yes

Its shared

You just link your ps4 to your existing account

And rebuy everything and you get your character

[rotund spoke]

Sounds great thank you! I just did the trial there but still loved my archer haha.

[faint flare]

Data is saved to.your account so progress is saved between.pc and ps4

[rotund spoke]

Great! Thanks for the help

[tardy lake]

Can i dps as a dark knight

[marble drift]

I mean you have to hit the boss regardless

but if you mean like deal the same damage as a dps class

no.

not unless that dps class is REAL bad

[raven sage]

This game doesn't have specs so you'll be a tank all the time

[raw merlin]

hey guys

kind of a new player here, grinded out dailies and stuffs for poetics and using the ironworks set for my DRK. what would be the next set/weapon i grind for? currently lvl 56

[little swift]

when you can reach idyllshire in Heavensward, the next set of tome gear is the Shire set

otherwise, msq and dungeon gear will be able to hold you over

[raw merlin]

understood, thanks alot

[little swift]

if your ironworks is unaugmented, start replacing it by level53 in msq

if it is augment

55

[raw merlin]

so far the msq is just giving me stuff weaker

but i guess maybe because i just started heavensward

anyway, thanks alot

[mental garnet]

i'm on HW beast tribe quests at the moment

does this crap happen for later expansions' beast tribe quests too?

values that annoyingly barely don't fit

for multiples of the quest rep rewards

[faint flare]

Yes cause the rep numbers are the same

[mental garnet]

ugh

[little swift]

its really just heavensward that has uneven rep numbers

[mental garnet]

oh ok

that's good

conflicting info, but ok

[little swift]

later on, the other beast tribes divide a tad better

[mental garnet]

but yay

i'm fine as long as it's better

obviously perfect is too much to ask of the ones who decide the numbers 🙄

[tardy lake]

Is tanking hard? I really want to play dark knight but I dont wanna always have tank

[faint flare]

Not really no

[little swift]

its not super great on the division but its not like 50 going into 990

[faint flare]

Lowkey easiest job

[little swift]

the later tribes divide 60 rep/quest into like 1320 and stuff

[faint flare]

Keep tank stance on > hit mobs > rotate defensive cooldowns

[mental garnet]

noice

[raw merlin]

hey as a new player, i used to dps but after i switched to DRK i kinda do feel like the leader of the group, at first its a lot of responsibility but you get used to it fast and people are nice to you @tardy lake

[gritty oracle]

In lv70+ dungeons should I arrive to the boss with dreadwyrm treance ready, or with bahamut ready?

[raw merlin]

i think this one time i didnt pull a mob off my healer and they died and she had a few choice words XD but other than people were nice lol

[faint flare]

Ideally both are used in trash for deathflare and akh morn cleaves but otherwise arrivr with bahamut and enter it with a swiftcast ruin 3 to keep 4 ruin stacks

In the end it doesn't matter

Blow everything on trash

[crimson crystal]

I'm learning drk now, first time tanking. I enjoy it, just a lot for me to learn. People are sometimes salty (during stuff like guildhests 🙄) but it's fun to learn something new

I also "practice" with my squadron too

[raw merlin]

i think sometimes people get a little salty because they dont know you're new to tanking

but after i tell them they're nice xd

[novel orbit]

Can someone help me, i need to get from Limsa to the archer starting area

[faint flare]

The story takes you there

You cant go to other cities from limsa until that point

Its like lv15 story called Limsa Envoy

Then you'll take airships to go to other cities

Remember to attune when you get there

[novel orbit]

Im on an account thats past there and i dont remember how to get back and didnt attune

I havent been on it in a while

[faint flare]

Go to elevator by the inn and use it to go.to the airship platform

To travel to other cities

[novel orbit]

Thank you

[vague sail]

I’m getting used to tanking with drk too and it’s mainly the thought of being the leader that makes me anxious. I usually just mention that I’m new to tanking and that helps

[pastel marsh]

Is there a leveling guide for BLU?

[vague sail]

Doing GC command missions helped to with tanking mechanics

[meager tendon]

i'm planning on leveling all of my tanks to at least 70 while the buff lasts. I got them all to 30 atm, which should I start with, or should I do them all at the same time?

I want to start with DRK because the storyline is really well regarded , but I want to learn tanking fundamentals and not develop any bad habits in case DRK functions way differently compared to the rest

[faint flare]

All tanks are fundamentally the same/very similar

So doesn't really matter

Drk is probably the easiest to start with cause you only one combo, an aoe and some cooldowns

[midnight slate]

I heard Elezen have weird walk cycles?

[faint flare]

Then irs unique thing of floods for a damage buff you press occasionally

[agile laurel]

Are Square usually good on following up on harassment reports?

[faint flare]

They do take it very seriously

So yes

[midnight slate]

Yeah I reported a guy and he got banned Immediately

[agile laurel]

How're you meant to know?

[midnight slate]

The support website

[young rune]

was FFXIV: Shadowbringers on sale a few days ago?

[faint flare]

It was somewhat recently iirc

[young rune]

I can't find it

wasn't it supposed to end on the 17th?

[agile laurel]

well that's good to hear at any rate. had to report some idiots and would be happy to know they're dealt with

[jolly sorrel]

Is there any kind of plant I can't get in an apartment with a flower pot? I know theres crossbreeding, but looking at the AH I can also just straight up buy glazenut seeds and jute seeds and such, so...

[agile laurel]

pretty sure indoor planters can't cross

it's exclusively an estate thing

[slate arrow]

Anything you can grow in a plot you can grow in a pot

you just can't crossbreed yep

[young rune]

what happened to the FFXIV: Shadowbringers sale that was supposed to end on the 17th?

[jolly sorrel]

I know I can't cross indoors. So the question is... is there -anything- that is purely cross exclusive?

[faint flare]

Its going on on newegg

[slate arrow]

Steam, Standalone, or PSN?

[faint flare]

It might have ended for NA

Na and eu sales usually have different start and end dates

[young rune]

standalone

[faint flare]

https://www.newegg.com/square-enix-final-fantasy-xiv-shadowbringers-standard-edition-pc/p/N82E16832166356

[agile laurel]

Yes, most plants are cross exclusive

[young rune]

i recalled it being $24

[jolly sorrel]

Is there maybe a list somewhere of things that are cross exclusive?

[agile laurel]

sec.

https://www.ffxivgardening.com/seed-list

@jolly sorrel

[jolly sorrel]

I found that list, but it lists Glazenut and Jute as crossbreed only. But then I found Glazenut Seeds and Jute Seeds on the MB

which confused me, and I came straight here with the first question

[faint flare]

Cause you get them

From crossbreeding only

[agile laurel]

crossbreeding successfully gives you seeds

[faint flare]

When you crossbreed, you get the seeda

Then you grow them

Or sell

[jolly sorrel]

I think I'm misunderstanding something.

[agile laurel]

or grow then sell

[faint flare]

You crossbreed 2 different plants and when successful, you get a new seed

[agile laurel]

Worth noting flowerpot planting is somewhat of a subdivision of estate planting

[jolly sorrel]

Ohhh

I can grow every plant in my apartment, theres nothing that won't work inside

its just that the -seeds- need to be gotten from elsewhere

[agile laurel]

yeah, that's probably about right

you can plant, but you can't crossbreed

[tardy lake]

If i buy a mount can i use it now at lvl 10

[jolly sorrel]

Alright, thanks

[faint flare]

If you haven't acquired your chocobo mount yet, no you cant

[tardy lake]

Darn

[young rune]

ok so i have an update on the shadowbringers sale: it was the PS4 version

[faint flare]

You can register it in the mount guide but it will error you when trying to summon

[serene jungle]

Hey! Just some question of PotD - how far can you relevel your jobs with?

[faint flare]

It caps at 60

[serene jungle]

And HoH?

[faint flare]

61-70

[serene jungle]

Key :x Good to know, thanks? Which other methods have I? Especially 75-80?

[young rune]

how do i use the shadowbringers digital download

[faint flare]

Dungeon spam. Daily roulettes, daily pixies

Fates while waiting

[shrewd nimbus]

@young rune input the code in the store like you would a psn card. And when you boot up the game it'll install Shadowbringers and all the previous expansions.

Thats if you already have the game installed though

[faint flare]

No shlomo

Story josh

You get access to that way later

[raw merlin]

ohh i thought the story was telling me to go through here

[slate arrow]

it is

[faint flare]

The first time you go there an npc takes you

[slate arrow]

you have to talk to the soldier next to it

because you need to take an airship

[twilit arch]

no

you talk to the chocobo keep to get to falcon's nest

and that way unlocks once you've unlocked flying in coerthas western highlands

[slate arrow]

oh right

sorry its been forever gah

[quiet magnet]

so right now my main quest is The Ul'dahn Envoy when do i get to do the The Scions of the Seventh Dawn? since i need to get a retainer

[ancient nexus]

Does spamming one duty many times affect the aetheric density drop? I've been spamming Brayflox's Longstop (Hard) and keep getting sturdy for the first two runs but then I keep getting robust for the rest

[faint flare]

The bonus window was probably on brayflox

Then it just ended

And put it back to normal

The answer is no it doesn't

[twilit arch]

to go a bit more, the bonus window changes every 2 hr

So during that 2hr window, various instances have their light values boosted to the one above them

if they start at bright, they'll be raised to brilliant for the duration of the window

[midnight slate]

Are 6 materia better than 7 materia?

[faint flare]

Yes

[midnight slate]

Why would they do that

[faint flare]

6 have more stats than 7s

Because 7s are thr same as tier 5s

They're for overmelding

[midnight slate]

Well where can I get 6 materia

[faint flare]

Lv70 stuff gives them

[ancient nexus]

Alright, thanks for the answers

[midnight slate]

There’s no vendor like in Eulmore?

[pearl wharf]

i think i have a broken map...

[faint flare]

Yes, rhalgars reach has a vendor to trade cracked clusters

For 6s

[twilit arch]

its up near where the aery is

Monsterie

[midnight slate]

How do I get Cracked clusters

[pearl wharf]

oh now i see it

i was looking on here and i think its outdated https://ffxivmaps.online/the-churning-mists/

[twilit arch]

no

those are for the 8 man maps

[pearl wharf]

oooh

pneumite...

anima weapons

huh

15?!

[leaden ginkgo]

how do i unlock stormblood hunts

[crimson wind]

What's the DNC icon supposed to be

Apparently GNBs is a slashed crosshair?

[tranquil valve]

Gunnreacer?

[crimson wind]

I meant Gunbreaker

[tranquil valve]

I believe they're fans. At least, it's the same shape as the fan proc icons on the Dancer's job gauge.

[twilit arch]

from what i know, its suppose to be a heart

similar to the dnc crest thats shown in the job artwork

also on the icon for closed position

[tidal yarrow]

there is those 2 dudes with magic weapons there since days and days

are they actually there afk or how do they do it?

and also the afk chair symbol doesn't show up to them

[faint flare]

You can turn the option off to have the afk chair

[tidal yarrow]

ohh! now I see

[twilit arch]

The game also don't have an auto kick enabled outside of expac launch, so you can afk for days if you want

[tidal yarrow]

so don't they play then? :(

I see..

[faint flare]

Probably do and just que for things

[tidal yarrow]

I think that the girl dancing on their right is there since 2-3 weeks lol

[vocal star]

someone got macro for a alert to renew bard dots on 5 seconds?

[idle ledge]

I think it's possible (I'm not sure if what I'm thinking of would work), but it definitely wouldn't be recommended because you'd have to deal with the usual things that make macros near-unusable for gcd skills (lack of queuing, actions possibly getting lost, etc).

And if I recall correctly, the dots have different durations depending on level, and there's no way to have a macro adjust itself based on what level you're synced to.

[ember briar]

you also can't have two running at once

[vocal star]

the macro is for iron jaws

[ember briar]

you could have a /echo <se> to remind you to refresh the 1st dot but I wouldn't do it myself

most people have the target HP and debuffs from you near the centre of the screen so you can see the countdown

[vocal star]

i've got this macro

but its not letting me use it and every time i use this is what happen

[ember briar]

/ac "Iron Jaws"

[noble ember]

So question, is there a way to copy and paste a HUD/UI layout to another #. Like I set up HUD Layout #1 perfectly for my scholor, and want to keep it that way but tweak it for my white mage under HUD Layout #2

Way to copy and paste or I have to reposition everything again (I'm on ps4)

[ember briar]

yeah, the gear to the right of the layout number

can copy from a base slot to target slot then fiddle with it

(the gear is tiny)

[tardy lake]

Will i be able to talk to teammates in dungeons and raids with a mic or do i have to use the chatbox

[faint flare]

Chatbox

No ingame voice

[tardy lake]

Thats lame

[vocal star]

now its working

[noble ember]

yeah, the gear to the right of the layout number
@ember briar thank you!

[ember briar]

np

[quiet magnet]

hmmm but ya trying to see about the retainer thing

dont know who to get it

[faint flare]

Retainer vocates in major cities to hire one

[quiet magnet]

vocates?

[faint flare]

Yes

[quiet magnet]

no i mean im not allowed to hire any yet

[faint flare]

Then keep doing story

[tidal yarrow]

I don't get how the wedding works..

someone today gifted my a flawless band

I think it has to do with it right?

[forest laurel]

yeah and now you have to set a time for the wedding iirc

at the sanctum of the twelve in east shroud

[tidal yarrow]

so the flawless band is the key item to do it right?

[forest laurel]

https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/The_Ties_That_Bind

you'll have to do this quest with the person that gave you the ring

`※To make a reservation for your ceremony, you and your partner must have completed all previous objectives. Moreover, you must form a party of two with your partner, and you must both equip yourselves with promise wristlets.

※Registration opens each Friday at :00 p.m. for ceremonies to be held during the week-long period beginning the next Friday at :00 p.m. Please note that registration opens at different times depending on the service plan (platinum, gold, or standard) as denoted by your wristlet. For further details, please check the Lodestone.

※Upon making a reservation, you will receive a blank invitation, which you may use to create invitations which may be given to friends in the same manner as an ordinary item.

※During the ceremony, you and your partner will receive eternity rings in exchange for your promise wristlets. On the day, please ensure that you have your blank invitation, your wristlet, and one free slot in your inventory.

※Within 20 minutes (Earth time) of doors opening, you and your partner must finalize your ceremony plans, after which the guests will be ushered to the ceremony hall. The ceremony will automatically commence 20 minutes (Earth time) from this point. Please be advised that failure to finalize ceremony plans will result in the ceremony's cancellation.`

[noble ember]

Last question, I have two class set ups white mage / scholor. My scholor uses only 4 skills for my WXHB crossbar so I have it set as such, but my mage uses 8 so I have it set as such. When I macro swap my class/hud layout between the two do i need to manually go into character configuration and select enable 4/8 for the wxhb bar or can I macro that to change as well

If that made sense.. if not I can try and explain more detailed.

Cause if I have enable 4 buttons for wxhb it only shows 4, but since my whitemage has 8 if I swap to that, 4 are missing due to being hidden

[real crow]

Just googled the robe’s name. Seems I need wolf marks, how do I unlock daily roulette for frontlines?

[obsidian patio]

Should unlock automatically when you unlock PVP at your grand company

If not, it should be a quest at the wolves’ den, which the first PvP quest takes you to.

[next steppe]

sorry, but does anyone else get this error recently? I don't think I'm doing anything special, and it only pops up on a loading screen, and at no other time. It's happened every session for the last week or so, though it doesn't actually exit the game, so I can just drag that window to the side and ignore it until I'm done. still just slightly annoying though

[twilit arch]

frontlines roulette is unlocked via a side quest called "Like Civilized Men and Women"

its at your grand company head quarters

requires you to do "A pup no longer" which unlocks feast, which is also at your gc hq

[deft quiver]

i asked about this a few times, but im about to buy the steam version of the game and i wanna transfer my trial progress to it

how do i go about doing it?

transferring on the site doesnt show the steam stuff

What's happening? I can't find my character?

[twilit arch]

click on the windows one, and proceed thru that process. its essentially the same. it'll ask for a registration code which you can get from your steam library

can i use a referral code after i bought the game?

or is it just when i buy it?

cause a friend told me about it but hes not on rn

[twilit arch]

you can use it once you've bought the game but before you've subbed

[thorny spruce]

Minimum = 29ms, Maximum = 31ms, Average = 30ms?

ok?

[twilit arch]

so since the starter/complete edition gives you 30 days free

[deft quiver]

alright

[twilit arch]

you've got 30 days

[deft quiver]

so if i wanna buy more time i use his code?

say 30 more days or whatever

no

that's a completely different storyline

the wreath of snakes is from the four lords questline

my bad, I meant Kugane Ohashi

[forest laurel]

then yeah

damn okay

thx

[rain wing]

what's more efficient for leveling 50-80, main scenario roulette or dungeons?

Dungeons

You only ever do roulettes once a day

After that its basically pointless to do it

You basically never spam roulettes

[rain wing]

ok thx

[wild terrace]

i dont get whats wrong with these dungeons lvl 61 dungeon 30k exp per mob, lvl 66 27k per mob, lvl 70 only 3k exp per mob

[twilit arch]

50/60/70 are not intended for leveling

[faint flare]

I470 gear, mats to upgrade phasmorgia gear and the mount from E4S which is a 4 seater

Also unlocks Alexander ultimate

[wooden umbra]

hi

[green grail]

it's an old raid tier so the gear is not relevant

[faint flare]

Its the skyslipper you use to get to the empty

That car

[obsidian patio]

470 when upgraded

[faint flare]

I460 and upgraded to i470

The empty is where Eden takes place

Could you maybe not ping all of our mentors when they don't answer your question immediately @leaden ginkgo? Especially when one is already visibly in the channel?

[young yarrow]

Sometimes the Mentors are busy answering someone else, if they don't respond in like 10m feel free to ask again, just don't ping them please

[hoary storm]

And here we go

[fresh lodge]

I'm sorry to hear that but don't ping the mentor role when you're not immediately given an answer

Next time wait more than a single minute

Inappropriate use of role pings will lead to further action

[ember briar]

[fresh lodge]

Don't use the role ping again

There was already a mentor in the channel, they would have answered your question if you had waited more than a minute

[novel orbit]

So samurai is fairly hard right?

[faint flare]

Not particularly.

The skill floor is low

[green grail]

nin and mnk are harder imo, but it's quite subjective

[novel orbit]

Is the ceiling pretty high?

[faint flare]

Not too high

[green grail]

it's a one minute loop rotation where you basically press stuff on cooldown

[novel orbit]

Whats would you say are the easiest and hardest job

[trail sphinx]

Anyone wanna be my friend on ff14? Im a noob

[faint flare]

Easiest: Red mage and dancer

Hardest: Summoner, maybe ninja and mnk (subjective)

[little swift]

@trail sphinx try #494379215420915712 or #retired-na-datacenters in this discord in particular. but if you have questions we're more than happy to help!

Thats sad, dancer is my favorite but I hate playing the easiest job lol

[nova umbra]

what's bad about playing the easiest job o.o;

as long as it's fun for you

[trail sphinx]

yes i have a bunch! what's the best way to level up?

[oblique delta]

Can you apply 2 glamours to the same armour piece ? I have some gear that I share between SMN and BLM but I can't use BLM glamour on both

[little swift]

play the main scenario quest

[faint flare]

It does have some optimization stuff in terms of using feathers and saber dance usage. Its.skill floor is the lowest of most

[little swift]

everything is locked behind it anyways in some way or another

[nova umbra]

yes you can share

[little swift]

@oblique delta make a glamour plate

Once for blm, one for Summoner

And link tjem to their gear sets

[nova umbra]

but I think there's an issue where if you try to glamour out of a city, the armor takes on the base appearance instead of either glamour

[faint flare]

Your glamour will change whenever you swap to those.jobs

[novel orbit]

I just like to feel like im consistently improving so i dont like to play a job with fairly low skill ceilings

[faint flare]

Provided you're in a city

[oblique delta]

Ok let me try that

[nova umbra]

at least, that's an issue I had when I shared my equipment set between all my crafters and they each had their own glamours

[faint flare]

Its mainly cause you cant use plates outside cities so it doesn't apply the new glamour and keeps the old glamour

[novel orbit]

I like scholar too which I have heard is fairly hard

[clever cave]

Worry less about hard/easy

[faint flare]

It does have a fair amount of resource management

[clever cave]

Play whats fun and thats it

You can play the “easiest” class but still do challenging content and have a hard time

[novel orbit]

Im just scared that if I feel my skill level on a job is stagnant I may get bored if that makes sense.

But ill just keep scholar in my back pocket and play the crap out of dancer lol

Thanks again guys

[next wind]

it all depends, for example if you're trying to learn eden savage clear, the easier it is to play the better time you will have learning the mechanics

[novel orbit]

I also feel like learning boss abilities on a dps will help me transition into a proactive healer better

[faint flare]

Plus every fight has job specific optimisation you can work on

[vague sail]

I started with monk and regretted it because dragoon attracted me more but I got afraid of all the memes about it dying and thought it was hard

[faint flare]

Due to the amount of forced downtime this tier

So jobs have to work around it

Which adds a level of thinking

[vague sail]

I agree with choosing what looks fun

[next wind]

100% fun job always wins

all the jobs will get hard and frustrating at times clearing some content

btw drg memes are pre ShB lol

[vague sail]

I left monk for dancer and haven’t looked back, lol. It’s such a fun job

[novel orbit]

Ngl i think this is because i come from a game where i picked the class i liked the best and got made fun of for playing the “braindead” class constantly

[vague sail]

And now I’m leveling up drg. Already jumped my way to death lol

[clever cave]

Doesnt happen in ffxiv

[novel orbit]

Okay thank you

[next wind]

don't compare other mmos, meta doesn't matter here

[faint flare]

^

Like we meme.and shit for every job

But never make fun of people

[clever cave]

You compare yourself to others in the same class, not with other classes usually.. thats also why if you play a class with low skill ceiling, there is also more competition

[vague sail]

Yeah that’s one thing I’ve noticed with this game, the people are super nice!! Wasn’t expecting it from a mmo game

[clever cave]

It balances out

[novel orbit]

Yeah me and another dancer have already memed by bonding to each other lol

[faint flare]

Always gotta.have your dance partner for the 2 step

[nova umbra]

how do you see how much shield you have if you're solo?

[faint flare]

Turn the party list on when solo

Not many do, only like Arr beast tribes do iirc

Just remember the quest name.i guess

[nova umbra]

the arr beast tribe stuff should be soloable

well, it might be difficult if you're a dps

and you're not overgeared

[little swift]

use your chocobo to help you out as well

you can summon your chocobo as an extra warm body to assist you

[nova umbra]

yeah it'll be difficult at level 44

[little swift]

it might be rougher if you're on the bottom end of the level sync, since your ilvl is not a powerfull

and pre-50 gear is a mess either way

[faint flare]

Make chocobo a healer

The tank needs.waaay too much investment to start even holding aggro

[little swift]

healer chocobo is the best

[silver ruin]

gotta trainit

it'll get skill points you can spend in teh companion menu as you level it

healing stance will only use healer tree skills, etc

Ah that makes sense

[fresh oasis]

is on a paladin shield block strength or block rate more important?

[wintry chasm]

Keep going and stick right Kitten

There should be a path going down

[faint flare]

Item level is more important Kalista

The strength or block rate doesn't matter much

[fresh oasis]

where is the difference?

[faint flare]

Difference is minor, a few percent

[fresh oasis]

its the same but differenct stats

or just swapped stats

[faint flare]

If its same ilvl then take whatever has better substats

[faint flare]

Middlish

[mossy tartan]

ok

[wintry chasm]

Yeahh

[faint flare]

Be in range to heal people

[mossy tartan]

my very first time in pvp in any game, appreciate the help 😄

[faint flare]

Healers are the strongest role and they dont really doe

Normal damage isnt much

[wintry chasm]

and remember you can basically win any solo fight as healer unless they LB3 as melee

[faint flare]

Unless you're CCd to oblivion

You have alot of healing tools to help others and yourself

[mossy tartan]

Do CC durations get reduced there like normal PvE?

[faint flare]

You get immunity

[mossy tartan]

With every successful cast^

[faint flare]

After it wears off

[mossy tartan]

Ok

[little swift]

yes you get immunity after it wears off for liek 30 seconds

[faint flare]

For short timr

You basically have to be chained stunned, slept and silenced and pulled back

And bursted down

Otherwise you'll go like "lol" and heal back up

[mossy tartan]

I’ll put my faith in the latter ;D

here goes, thank you all

[little swift]

its likely the rest of the people playing won't really know what to do anyways

so you'll be fine

[faint flare]

Make sure to set your hotbars prior

And read the skills as they work differently than pve

[mossy tartan]

queue failed, so I have one last question

would it be better if I wore a crafter’s armor for deceit? I don’t want to get noticed being a healer : D

[foggy fiber]

Do people do A9S farming often on crystal? Or do I have to make the party through party finder

[lilac mulch]

how do i get over here @ the tempest

[faint flare]

Doesn't really matter, your name turns to "White Mage" for the enemy

[mossy tartan]

[faint flare]

So they know what you are

[mossy tartan]

Wow, the potency of healing spells

2k for assize?

isn’t that a one-shot heal ?

[twilit arch]

no

[faint flare]

Potency in pvp is kinda basically 1-1

[twilit arch]

because its basically a 1:1

[mossy tartan]

Ah

[lilac mulch]

i do swim, but i get locked here at land and i cant dive either

[mossy tartan]

What is this “adrenaline gauge” I understand from context that it seems like LB, but is it shared?

[faint flare]

Solo LB

[mossy tartan]

nice

[faint flare]

Everyome gets their own personal LB

And healers are pretty strong

[obsidian patio]

PVP healer LB is basically an instant cast lb2 that also removes CC?

I can’t remember if it also gave a short period of CC immunity

[lilac mulch]

im missing 1 aether is there a way to know which one

[faint flare]

Use the aether compass

Its one you missed in the field

[lilac mulch]

hm whats that

[slate arrow]

@white sinew it's tied to the trials questline of stormblood

[faint flare]

Its a key item

You use to find aether currents

[gusty spear]

https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Aether_Currents#Aether_Compass

[obsidian patio]

@lilac mulch For that spot on the map go across the little lake of water to the entrance at x8.5, y14.4

That’ll take you out of there

[lilac mulch]

the one on top?

[slate arrow]

no

probably

[grim sable]

Hey has anyone had this problem? I can't play ;w;
https://gyazo.com/bc5a6b000b104407a0012fd22772118d

[slate arrow]

listen there's so much in this game trying to get out small details like that is really hard but I'm fairly sure this proposition isn't related to the other one in any way since it's just you, tataru, and soroban going after a rumor together

@grim sable restart your PC and try DX11

[grim sable]

My PC was just started up, how do I switch to DX11?

[slate arrow]

Press the red "switch to dx11" button or press the settings button in the top right

[gloomy ice]

I don't believe it is different iirc. I did the side quest stuff first back when it was new. @white sinew

[slate arrow]

If that doesn't work, try updating directx

if that still don't work, you might have to reinstall ffxiv

[jade quartz]

Can’t find any alternate text flags in the dialogue there @white sinew so it doesn’t seem to change depending on Four Lords progress.

[grim sable]

I already tried reinstalling, its still crashing with DX11

[slate arrow]

might need to reinstall ffxiv then

[grim sable]

I already tried that

[slate arrow]

sounds like something in the install went kaput

@tender estuary help

[grim sable]

[heavy tiger]

hey guys, when talking in ff14, does it not show on top of your character? (i'm new)

[grim sable]

I dunno what that is so I dont think so lol

[slate arrow]

chat bubbles do not exist

[grim sable]

I dont have any add ons

[slate arrow]

for players

[heavy tiger]

@slate arrow do you mean for new players?

[slate arrow]

no

[jade quartz]

For any players

[grim sable]

I have to go AFK for a sec, please if you think of anything @ me or PM

[slate arrow]

chat bubbles do not exist for players

[heavy tiger]

oh

[slate arrow]

only NPCs who can't be interacted with

[heavy tiger]

ah okay ty

[tender estuary]

@grim sable might be a windows issue or some program running in the background thats causing it to crash at start up

what programs do you have open

firewalls, antivirus, things like that anything that can attach itself to XIV close them

[azure kettle]

Whm or sch for healer? From what I've seen sch seems really good but everyone seems to use whm

[frozen karma]

How exactly do you obtain grand company armour? Is it just glamour or is it also actual armour?

[gloomy ice]

GC armor is purchased with seals earned from GC levequests or FATEs. It is functional armor and decent while leveling but its usefulness is cutoff past level 50. Anything higher is specifically glamour, yes.

[mossy tartan]

Ah, pvp is too hard.... I got destroyed : D

I only gain 1000 wolf marks per roulette only once a day, correct?

[twilit arch]

yes, the roulette itself only gives 1000 per day

[silver ruin]

can spamrival wings

[twilit arch]

Frontlines itself tho gives a varying amount based on your team's position

1k for first, 750 for 2nd, 500 for 3rd

[mossy tartan]

Separate from the roulette’s reward?

[twilit arch]

yes

[gloomy ice]

@azure kettle It's personal preference, really. WHM is really easy to use since it's all about straight heals with very little frills. SCH has a bit of a learning curve as it's more about preventing damage than it is recovering from it.

[twilit arch]

so at minimum, you will get 1.5k a day

[sick knot]

Trying to diagnose my FFXIV crashing all the time. When the game dies, it’s usually in group content like a dungeon. The GPU 3D graph in task manager fluctuates from 95-99%. Does anyone know if this is normal for a GeForce 980 ti when my graphics settings are at high?

[frigid sigil]

are riding maps worth it?

specifically the ones for tomestone of law already got the necklace, the 3 top mounts, earrings for glamour not sure what to get next

[little swift]

riding maps for the ARR areas will be largely less useful/useless by 5.3 when they allow flying in those zones

[jolly sorrel]

BLM60, I need a quick primer on how to play this job post 5.x before I jump into dungeons.
I can manage fire3, fire3, transpose, blizz1, thunder, repeat. I don't know how/when to properly do Eno or Sharpcast

[little swift]

otherwise ymmv and you can get them if you want.

[faint flare]

!faq blmleveling

[zinc orbit]

THM/BLM leveling rotations

[faint flare]

^ @jolly sorrel

[hoary storm]

I went for MGP cards, since you can only get about 150k mgp a week and all the mounts from the gold saucer cost over 4m MGP, so might be worth it if you want said mounts

[faint flare]

You never spam fire 3

[jolly sorrel]

Perfect, thanks a ton Tails

[faint flare]

Fire 3 and bliz 3 are for swapping stances

[lilac mulch]

is there any afk activity ingame?

[obsidian patio]

@lilac mulch not really. You can make macros for crafting stuff but that’s pretty much it.

[crimson crystal]

Are dungeon drops the same when running with a squadron?

[obsidian patio]

Yep

[jolly sorrel]

Okay. So at level 60, I do Ice 3 to get into ice mode (+eno at start of battle), Ice 4 to get the hearts, get thunder going, then fire 3 to get into fire mode, then fire 4 three times, fire 1 to refresh timer, fire 4 as long as MP lasts, and repeat

So far so good.

When do I sharpcast, is there a use for manafont?

Also does it make sense to transpose before casting b3?

[crimson crystal]

@white sinew if you teleport, look under the Far East tab and it's the last one

[fervent silo]

can anyone direct me to a good gil making guide? most of the videos on youtube are either out of date or dependent on level/jobs.

[jolly sorrel]

to get that mp regen going a bit earlier?

[raw solstice]

sharpcast roughly on cd at the next available weaving window, used on whatever comes next between thunder or fire. Up until 72 you can usually have it around the same point in your rotation and it'll stay there roughly, after 72 it'll naturally drift a bit more

[crimson crystal]

The one that's the kugane logo

[raw solstice]

you certainly don't want to transpose before B3. The B3 is cheaper and fast cast because you're in AF3

manafont is good to use in your AF cycle, ideally weaved, for an extra two F4. At level 72+ you'll weave it in after a Despair, for another F4 + Despair

[jolly sorrel]

Ohhh, huh, good to know. So transpose is more the 'fights over and im still in fire' button?

[raw solstice]

it's particularly good on AoE for an extra Flare cast, as well

yep basically

[crimson crystal]

Purple spiral thing lol

[raw solstice]

though you'll want to get used to using it between pulls to keep AF/UI going so you don't drop enochian. It's a minor thing for now, but once you get to 70 and get polyglot (which enables you to use Foul) keeping eno active becomes more important even over downtime

[crimson crystal]

Teleport menu is way easier

[jolly sorrel]

Hmkay, that makes sense. I think that covers most of my questions

Is there also an AoE faq like the rotation Tails just linked?

[raw solstice]

the faq has both single target and AoE

[faint flare]

Its In the.same.thing

[jolly sorrel]

wait

its

yyy--yeah. Oops.

As for AoE thunder, do I just keep it up on one target, or do I hit everyone with it before starting the Freeze Flare combo?

[faint flare]

Thunder 2/4 is aoe

So target the mob.in the centre and thunder of them

[jolly sorrel]

Oh, I only had T3 on my bars, didnt realize it wasnt an overwrite

[raw solstice]

didn't always used to be, to be fair. But yeah

at 2 targets you'll still want to use single target thunder on both (generally sharp T3 one -> T3 proc on the other), at 3+ you just go with T2 (later T4)

[jolly sorrel]

Loud and clear. Thanks for the help, all

[mossy tartan]

Is there a head glamour that resembles a crown of leaves?

Or any variation of it
