you can get ahead now if you want but story is the #1 goal atm
story is what unlocks pretty much everything in this game

if a listing is for 10 units you buy all 10 units

Having a tank and healer party is incredible 
@static yacht
I recently picked up tank, and my friend I play with a lot is a healer
We now get instant queues
Instead of waiting 4-5 minutes when I play my dps
If I solo dps it's a good 9-15 minutes queue

Can you make your mount faster?
faint flare
Yes
proven bay
Yes, through MSQ
faint flare
There's 2 tiers of speed
First is via msq
Second is brought by riding maps
Flying is automatically the fastest speed
proven bay
Well, technically 3 since you start off with no stars for your speed tier
But yeah, 2 tiers you can unlock
static yacht
Flying is only in content after ARR
so in ARR areas you SoL until the next patch releases

we have fc 1v1 tournament coming up, I did some practise today and seems I've got destroyed using mch against most other jobs, I know pvp balance is way off. Then I switched to drg and did way way better. So, the question - are there any pvp rotation guides for jobs etc? Can mch deliver if played well or it's just overall weaker?
static yacht
Normal raid roulette you unlock at 60 its not relevant :#
warped nest
Roulette will adjust the bonus exp to make it worthwhile even when you get very low level content
lilac mulch
so after that one its not worth spamming it
ooo lol
thats what im doing wrong then
warped nest
The total exp you get from roulette will always correlate to the expected time spend in clearing it
Yeah, it is good for the one time daily bonus
static yacht
make sure you eat food
when you do your dungeon spamming
and try to be in a FC
just for the exp buff
warped nest
Buy cheap food, it is a 3 percent gain
static yacht
you can always leave the FC once you're done anyways lol
lilac mulch

Ehh... The FC stuff is fine

FC only has exp buff if the high ranking members turns on a buff

it's the opening cinematic at the title screen iirc
twilit arch
No
twilit arch
that one is specifically in Final Coil of Bahamut
its a spoiler for the raid, essentially
gloomy ice
It’s the cutscene near the end of FCoB, yeah.
twilit arch
so i would not watch it unless you have no intention of doing coil at all
remote lintel
the one at the title screen is a cut version I think
twilit arch
flames of truth is more or less an extended version of the ARR trailer, yes
hot basin
well, we just finished ARR, but never got the opportunity to do the raid
hot basin
weird that it never suggests us to do the raid O.o

ACT technically is bannable, but its pretty unlikely they are going to be able to detect you're using it
so just dont talk about in-game, and you're fine
simple shore
ACT pretty much is handled in a dont ask dont tell manner by SE
proven bay
What's an ACT?
twilit arch
Advanced Combat Tracker, its a parser
proven bay
And why is it bannable?
simple shore
As long as you dont talk about it in-game (or on stream....) you're fine.
remote lintel
because it's against tos
twilit arch
because its a 3rd party program
proven bay
They're not allowed in FF?
twilit arch
and those are technically against ToS, same with mods
remote lintel
you're not allowed to mod ff14
technically
by mod I mean use 3rd party programs on it
proven bay
Wait so why do I keep seeing YouTube videos and Twitch streamers use it then 
twilit arch
but ultimately the devs don't care so long as you're not using things to give yourself an advantage or using it to harass people in-game
proven bay
Ah
remote lintel
you're just not supposed to tell people you're using it
twilit arch
like was mentioned earlier, its basically a "Don't ask, Don't Tell" policy
if you're using it for yourself, and not bothering people with it. you're fine
to mod anyway
twilit arch
the streamer who was banned for it was publicly using act to shame someone
simple shore
Yeah exactly. That's the behavior that gets you banned.

Hey everyone, sorry I'm kinda' new to the server, I joined to ask if anyone has a soloution to a problem a friend has. Every time she trys to log in and play the game, once 'Log in' as been clicked and the game opens up, its crashes and shows the 6D Error. We have checked all other soloutions and none are currently working from what we find on Google, I dont mind going through previous soloutions, but I'd like to know if anyone has found a fix for this. If anyone has any ideas please dm or message here with my @ please ❤️

my beast tribe daily quest allowance has been like this for a week already and it hasn't reset to 12 again

push comes to shove, consider a complete reinstall of steam / 14 unless you have already done it'
twilit arch
do you have any dailies in your journal that you haven't completed/turned in @graceful lantern
warped nest
@graceful lantern you missed a quest or two
jaunty bear
we had reinstalled the game and downloaded manual and replaced files, however that failed as the game neesd to patch so @static yacht
I will check if steam is running as admin
graceful lantern
aw fucking hell, I see it in my journal now... What a fucking dumbass i was
static yacht
restart --> close steam ---> end any steam related process --> open up steam as admin --> open up 14
jaunty bear
im fairly steam opens with automatic admin privs anyway
remote lintel
it doesnt
static yacht
right click run as admin lol
jaunty bear
I swear it runs normally as admin
I'll try that though
do you have any other suggestions?
I just need to wait for her to come back
I'm just taking notes right now

alternatively you can set it to run as admin in the properties
so you dont have to right click every time

since the space is finally freed, i just wanted to ask if there's any noticable diffrence between chaos vs light datacenter? just to help me make the final decision
static yacht
none, certain servers are known as the french / DE servers

so basically free to choose, gochu, thanks!
static yacht
only thing Is I'd recommend you choose a preferred server
so you get the road to 70
cold steppe
that i know, i just wondered if there's any notcable diffrences between the two

allegedly light has a bigger german community, chaos a bigger french one
in terms of actual game mechanics 0

why not make a macro that automatically puts it on the enemy
karmic jolt
So I've just unlocked my Dragoon Soul Crystal and I'm reading the abilities to get an idea of what is going on, I have some questions about what is going on with the job.
steel wedge
Where is your limit Break?
faint flare
Actions and trait > general
karmic jolt
It looks like the whole job is built around Blood of the Dragon and keeping that buff active. There are 2 OGCDs that extend the duration, should I be weaving those in as often as possible to keep the buff up?
steel wedge
And if one parson used limit break then then no one else in the party can use it until the gauge recharge ya?
faint flare
They're not ogcds
idle ledge
Yeah, spyro, limit break is shared by the whole party.
left moth
There's a very small number of times <t> wont work with salted earth so would recommend it also target self as a backup
faint flare
But yes, dragoon is built around blood of the dragon and jump gives you access to mirage drive and after 2 uses, the next geirskogual puts you into Life of the Dragon to give you Access to Nastrond and Star diver
karmic jolt
So then I should just be using the Disembowel into Chaos Thrust to keep the buff of Disembowel and the DoT from Chaos up?
faint flare
You alternate between them
Chaos thrust lasts just long enough to get a full thrust combo off
ivory iris
does the aetheryte earring work from 70 to 71?
faint flare
I thinm prior to getting the combo extenders you can get 2 full thrusts in
karmic jolt
Ah, so 1-2-3 then 1-2-3-4-5.
faint flare
Chaos thrust also procs the combo extenders
faint flare
So you go 1-2-3-4-5 chaos thrust line > 1-2-3-4-5 full thrust line
At the.end
And you bounce between them
stable hinge
I kinda have an Idea what it is but whats uptime and downtime
left moth
drg: the general idea is your combos flow into each other by position, rear to side or vice versa. Weaving ogcds is a lot more jumps focused than it used to be
faint flare
Uptime - time you can hit things
Downtime - when you cant hit things
stable hinge

Uptime refers to amount of time using skills on things. Downtime is being forced to not engage something usually safety related or cutscene

Use legacy controls
robust crow
I heard switching to legacy mode lets you do it, but then I can't left-click drag my camera anymore
left moth
Can still move camera it just doesnt do amything character wise
robust crow
it forces your character to turn facing the camera
so I can't do things like line up dragoon backflip
not as easily, at least
wary jewel
Hey I’m a level 15 lancer but I want to play dark knight and don’t want to wait to get to level 50 before I can start that quest if I use a tale of adventure: dragoon on my lancer will it level my character up or do I have to have the dragoon job unlocked first?
robust crow
whereas on non-legacy you can left-click drag and your camera will turn, but your character keeps walking in the original direction

Guys what does the "Parse %" column means? if I have for example 60% on it

heres blue arrows
oh shit heres a red arrow!
wary jewel
Any suggestions on leveling to 30?
remote lintel
it's got multiple magic orange arrows, poison arrow rain, giant fuckin blue laser, etc
forest laurel
60% means you're better than 60% of the parses, or ppl that have logs of that fight with that job.
leaden ginkgo
ah, thanks
forest laurel
so like if I got a 40% parse as AST, that means I'm better than 40% of other ASTs.

typically if you have regen running + holy spamming
you can pop it after the 2nd holy

90 days from char creation

you can't repeat a specific quest
you can only select a chapter to start from
its 90 days from character creation, unless the server remains preferred in which case you will have the buff until it stops being preferred @signal rover

@noble ember no
signal rover
@white sinew find a good quality "lets play"?
twilit arch
he uses a lot of those skills in his fight in last sb dungeon
static yacht
@noble ember typically weaver gets to be able to craft clothing from the map drops so they tend to have a lot more specialty crafts than the other professions
twilit arch
could try soloing it to record them
static yacht
@noble ember its for that reason that weaver doesn't typically get anything that they can make from trial drops

What maps would those be?
noble ember

yes treasure maps
twilit arch

what does this mean for new players/alts?
they'll still have to do the chocobo quest in HS to unlock flying?

im actually waiting to do my ARR beast tribes til flying gets added in lmao, those are a pain sometimes
no they're removing that quest

nothing about expansion flying is changing

chocobo will be able to auto fly in ARR when you get 2.0 flying

how you unlock flying in expansion zones is going to be the same. still have to collect aether currents. ARR flying is the ONLY thing that is given to you straight from the msq

@sonic dew If you're not looking for a specific server, the only way to pick is the preferred stuff. Though, if it matters for you, Primal DC is more focused on end-game stuff while Crystal DC is more focused on RP stuff...? Not that such a thing really means end-game is dead on Crystal.
... Ramble. Basically, it's probably worth waiting to create a character on a preferred server. The XP bonus (and other things) is really nice.

when do the restrictions lift for toon creation?
terse grail
every server has a bit of everything, but youll find more ppl doing certain types of content. Aether has a lot of raiders, crystal has a lot of rpers, primal has a good mix of both

If I get a lvl 15 marauder and turn it to a dragoon and then level boost that dragoon to 70 will that let me go to Ishgard?

No.
You would also need to buy a story boost to be able to enter Ishgard right away
terse grail
no no and no lol. maurader turns into warrior. lancer turns into dragoon. ishgard is locked behind MSQ
obsidian patio
@wary jewel story.
terse grail
and you dont need to have a class unlocked to level boost, but highly NOT recommended you boost your first job. play through the story
obsidian patio
More precisely, after completing all of the ARR story
Yeah, boosting a job without buying a story boost is, IMO, a waste of money
terse grail
or vice versa lol
obsidian patio
Unless you really want to play an expansion job right away
terse grail
but even then, boosts are kind of a last resort "i hate the game but want to see what it feels like later" type deal

Can people see your commendations

@obsidian patio when I read about it it says if I pay to clear the first main story that I won’t be able to unlock Ishgard without a level 50 character

Hi! I just got to level 80 on all my gathering and was wondering what the differences between folklore and ephemeral nodes are? I couldn't find much information on google on which to farm now.
obsidian patio
They won’t see the person that gave it to them, but they do see that they got a commendation
tulip plover
Ayyeeeee
Ima get a lot of them
Then i will become the most commendated tank in all of eorzea
obsidian patio
@wary jewel if you buy a story skip you shouldn’t be level gated from entering the expansion areas
terse grail
@wary jewel just play through the game normally, is the best advice ppl will give you
obsidian patio
Though you won’t be able to do much in them anyways
@viral moat folklore nodes are basically unspoiled nodes unlocked through an expansion’s folklore books bought with yellow gatherer scrips
tulip plover
And how do you equip chocobo armor
wary jewel
I just want to start my main which is dark knight
viral moat
oh should I worry about doing them? I'm not sure where to go from here now that gathering is maxed out other than gear and over melding
terse grail
just play through ARR on another tank job, then swap to DRK when you unlock it. I recommend warrior, as its pretty similar to DRK @wary jewel
@tulip plover character -> companion -> appearance
obsidian patio
Ephemeral nodes are special nodes that ‘unlock’ when you interact with nodes near them and their items can be collected to be reduced (basically desynthing) into elemental crystals/shards/clusters and crafting materials known as aethersand
You don’t need to worry about unlocking the folklore nodes right away, though the scrips earned from them for rowena’s house of splendors can eventually pay itself back
And sometimes the node items themselves can be worth a bit, but that requires look at each item
wary jewel
@terse grail there’s no reason to play a tank before dark knight because it doesn’t require a prerequisite class beforehand so I’ll just play through the story it’s crazy you gotta reach level 50 to unlock Ishgard to start a dark knight that starts out at lvl30
terse grail
playing a tank early can help you learn the basics, but yea if you want you can play whatever you want
viral moat
@obsidian patio ooh I see! thank you. so I'll just try and farm the ephemeral nodes then
terse grail
its because the HW job quests are located within the city itself, its not something they can change. and removing job quests to boost them to 50 is a bad idea as well. its a design decision that was made a long time ago, and as you can see they learned from it and changed it going forward @wary jewel
plush crane
Is there a way to invite people from other servers to your wedding?
terse grail
the stormblood and shadowbringers jobs dont have this restriction
faint flare
No @plush crane
wary jewel
Yeah I understand but I just hate having to wait to play the class I want
terse grail
i mean you could boost a drk right off the bat and start the story with a lvl70 job
but then youd be wasting a ton of XP from MSQ, as well as not knowing how to play said job
as well as skipping out on the DRK job quests, which are arguably the best job quests in the game
but if all you care about is playing drk, and you are willing to put in the research to learn the job, i guess you can do that
wouldn't reccomend tho
potent moth
And so how do you start Eurekan for SAM ?
terse grail
you start eureka like any other job :P the unlock quest is located in rhalgar's reach iirc. basically you go in, level up, and gather crystals. you use these crystals to upgrade your weapon and you do this throughout 4 zones
progressing through the zones require you to level up to the max of that zone
best way to level and gain crystals is to join NM trains
potent moth
But you're not supposed to do Anima and or Relic before Eurekan?
median inlet
Does fisherman actually become decent in terms of Gil gain? Or should I begin to go like, miner or smith or Botanist or something
median inlet
I like fishing in the game tbh
static yacht
So a lot of leve fish that is hq can go for like 20k
twilit arch
bot/miner are better for more consistent gil
median inlet
At what level and area can I start to see the high quality fish?
static yacht
Imo crafters tend to be better for making gil
A lot of the btn / min economy is overrun by botters
faint flare
Patience helps you get HQ fish
median inlet
The skill for a 40% decrease in efficiency?
potent moth
@terse grail Where can I find some NM trains ?
median inlet
But higher quality fish odds?
faint flare
You can get it without it but its its all RNG with stats
Yes
You counter tje efficency with the hooksets
median inlet
Gotcha'
potent moth
alright thanks
static yacht
Its a group of people running around and trying to pop nma
terse grail
yep, people will invite you to a group more than likely, and you just follow them around the zone killing stuff
static yacht
Nms*
median inlet
Right now I'm just running the basic possible fishing gear possible fishing and getting fish worth 2 - 3 gil
Level 20 fisher only, which seems more than fair
static yacht
Realistically a lot of low level stuff does not sell very much
median inlet
Is area important or can I keep fishing at the lower docks?
median inlet
I'd imagine that to be the case
obsidian patio
@median inlet the reduced efficiency only happens if you don’t use the correct skill, being Precision Hookset for catches with one !, or Powerful Hookset with 2 or 3 !
In place of hook
median inlet
Gotcha'
So what level and area can I start to see some decent gil gain? Like, in the hundreds
I love fishing in games so it's nice to hear that it can be viable
remote lintel
a lot of your fishing money comes from retainers fishing for you
median inlet
I only recently unlocked retainers. How do they work?
obsidian patio
Fish used in leves or that can go in the aquarium are good early money
remote lintel
basically if you have a fishing retainer you send them out and they catch stuff for you
midnight slate
What’s the equipment command?
little swift
i think its still in progress
not finished yet if you're asking for the bot command
median inlet
So are Fishing retainers recommended early game?
obsidian patio
Ehh
remote lintel
fishing retainers generally aren't recommended because they make the worst money
out of all gatherers
median inlet
Fair
steel wedge
What is this wolf mount called?
remote lintel
reveling kamuy
kindred nimbus
I dont get it with collectables, I am able to collect but the gear that I can buy is not that many, isnt it better to just buy some lvl 50 at jeweled crozier instead?
Im trying to gearing my crafters 🙂
median inlet
So should I consistently get the best bait, hook and clothes for fishing whenever I can?
obsidian patio
You can use versatile lure for pretty much all fish unless you’re trying to get something specific
As for gear, vendor NQ stuff works good enough for the most part
kindred nimbus
As for gear, vendor NQ stuff works good enough for the most part
@obsidian patio Right? Everybody sent me to "go do collectables" xD
median inlet
So versatile lure works well at lower levels?
I think I need to find a good location for fishing, too
median inlet
So it's hugely RNG?
If I get garbage or something good?
Does the rod matter as much?
obsidian patio
Mainland is just stats
steel wedge
@remote lintel this is the mount itself? I don’t need anything else other then tomes?
remote lintel
yes
steel wedge
Ok ty
midnight slate
Can I level Arcanist to lvl 80 alone and then do the quests to get my job crystal for both summoner and scholar
remote lintel
@midnight slate technically but that's like impossible
because you would have lvl 30 skills
in a lvl 79 dungeon
obsidian patio
You want to upgrade to your job ASAP
faint flare
The role quests add a additional option in 5.2
With the cutscene at the pendants
You can basically choice whos at the door
And they say different stuff
Dont believe so
median inlet
Where is a good early game fishing spot? On my first character I'm lvl 32 and I just got a chocobo, now on my fisherman I think I'm lvl 17
obsidian patio
@median inlet normal bait would still be very random in what you get, the versatile lure just saves on inventory space from not carrying multiple types of bait for different types of waters/expansions areas
median inlet
Oh, fair
I just want to get to the point where I can catch stuff that isn't valued at 2 - 3 gil
Like, I'd like to eventually start getting 50 - 100 gil per catch
remote lintel
selling to NPCs or the MB?
median inlet
I don't think NPCs will be forgiving in prices, will they?
obsidian patio
Highest I see vendor prices for some fish is like 20-40
median inlet
That's what I thought
I'm not good at all with the player market stuff
I barely know how Grand Companies work hah
remote lintel
you use retainers to sell fish on the mb
it will show you a list of what other people are selling for
median inlet
Why would fish sell decently?
leaden ginkgo
is one of the perks of marriage being able to teleport to your partner?
faint flare
Yes
remote lintel
for use in crafting other stuff
leaden ginkgo
HAHA YEET
faint flare
You port to them with the ring
median inlet
Fair enough
So if fisher might not work out, any recommendation for another gil gain method early on? Miner / Smith ?
tulip plover
When i use interject the boss still attacks why
zinc orbitBOT
faint flare
The cast bar flash/pulsates
raw solstice
!faq interrupt
zinc orbitBOT
tulip plover
So before the yellow bar above health fills?
faint flare
No, the cast bar is visibly different
obsidian patio
It’ll be pulsating
faint flare
For skills you can interupt
tulip plover
Oh so when the yellow bar is pulsating
faint flare
Yes
tulip plover
So not all of them pulsate?
mossy current
wrong channel, my bad
faint flare
Because the skills it does work on are usually very important to interupt
At least in terms of raids
hoary storm
Not interrupting in some fights can result in wipe
faint flare
It basically goes from "not really needed" to "Basically near mandatory" real quick
tulip plover
I mean i get how it being able to interrupt everything is broken but when you actually get to the point when you need it you about to get cussed out
By everyone cuz you never used it until that point
faint flare
Both tanks and Ranged dps cam do it and it does show up now and then in dungeons
While it's required to do it in dungeons it Helps
tulip plover
Welp ive been using it this whole time confused af
tulip plover
Wowwww
Well i guess its cool that dps can do it to
So your not the sole person needed for it
faint flare
Yeah
And bosses cant build resistance to it so, provided you use it on skills it works on, they'll always be interupted
Unlike stun
Which most bosses after ARR are resistant to
tulip plover
Cuz i use stun for mobs cuz bosses resist
So im guessing some skills you just dont use
When your higher lvl
faint flare
You use most, some have less uses but they have their time now and then
Low blow falls out a fair bit, especially if you're with a white mage
As holy is a aoe stun
tulip plover
Welp
faint flare
And good white mages spam it
tulip plover
Goodbye lowblow
faint flare
There's one use for it currently during one of the rest raids to stun a tanky add
So people kill it intime
zinc orbitBOT
faint flare
But thats its only real use in recent memory, outside of solo stuff
tulip plover
Well im lvl 36 so im a ways off
clever cave
after i rent a retainer, when can i hire him? -- nvm just had to relog
faint flare
Every skill has its time and place, except Undraw on Astro
tulip plover
Also when does gear start looking cool
faint flare
50+ for normal gear
tulip plover
Cuz i was planning at lvl 40 or 50 to lvl my othee classes
faint flare
You get your job gear and access to a ton more options
Since 50 was a old level cap
So there's a large number of gears there
Even ironworks itself.looks nice if you like mechanical stuff
tulip plover
So thats when you can start building less streamlined gear?
faint flare
The weapons have unsheathe/sheathe animations
tulip plover
:0
faint flare
Well at the old level caps you pretty much just buy the poetic gear since its the highest ilvl gear of that time and lasts a long time
tulip plover
Ah ok
faint flare
It isn't really until cap you pick and choose gear
Cause you'll be at a ilvl cap and then picking for your substats
faint flare
Yes, at lv50/60/70, you can buy better gear with the special currency you start receiving for a big leap
That lasts you 3-5 levels
tulip plover
What special currency?
simple shore
Not necessarily....at 50/60/70 is a very good idea to jump your gear ahead, either by buying with poetics, or buying from MB.
faint flare
Poetics
tulip plover
Where so you get these?
faint flare
Which you get whenever you do lv50/60/70 content
And some roulettes after 50 give them
simple shore
You also get them any time you complete MSQ Roulette and 50/60/70 Roulette, which you'll get when you get to 50
and once you get far enough in MSQ
faint flare
Plus whenever you complete a side dungeons at the old level cap, you get extra poetics to help out
simple shore
Poetics are pretty much flung at you constantly by doing those, so there's no need to be shy about spending them
faint flare
And people love those who bring bonus
faint flare
You dont necessarily need to farm but just doing content gets you them
Poetics are almost literally thrown at you
tulip plover
Ok
Sounds good to me
Im just running through msq i just beat the manor woman
How much longer till heavans ward
simple shore
"longer" depends on you
but
At 50, 60, and 70......there's ALOT of MSQ to get through
tulip plover
:l
tulip plover
And i thought o was far 😩
simple shore
because you basically have to get through 3 major patches worth of content plus whatever the initial release was
since at those levels, those were caps at the time
faint flare
5 patches
faint flare
Which is good
faint flare
Mogstation does sub stuff
tulip plover
Is it easier just to get on a computer and do it?
faint flare
I think if you do it via the ps4 link on the launcher you can pay with psn wallet
tulip plover
Ok
winged steppe
What materia do i prioritise for rdm?
faint flare
Crit > dh > det

Ty
twilit arch
tenacity is a tank stat, it increase dmg done by you, decrease dmg taken, and increase hp restored
faint flare
The damage increase.from it is worse than determination and the mitigation doesn't change anything
faint flare
Fully stacked its like 8% or so mitigation
twilit arch
but ultimately its not really a stat you want to go for
tulip plover
Cuz i know tanks are vitality and strength
But if you have skill speed you can do combos faster and keep aggro
faint flare
No one will really notice if you fully stack tenacity
faint flare
It doesn't change how you or healers use cooldowns
Most tanks build similar to.DPS to do as much damage as possible
tulip plover
Then all this time....perfecting and practicing my tank skills so i can be pro.... all a waste 
faint flare
As damage itself is a form of mitigation
obsidian patio
The only way you’re losing aggro at this point is by not having your stance active
Or just not hitting buttons at all
faint flare
Tanks do want some.skill speed to hit thresholds to get certain number of skills under respective buffs
tulip plover
So you telling me learning all those cool tank moves was a waste
faint flare
I think most want around 2.4s gcd.
obsidian patio
Anywhere from 2.37 to 2.45 depending on the job
faint flare
Yeah, around 2.4
faint flare
Give or take
lilac dock
how do i get rid of the chat cause im in GPose and i wanna get rid of it
remote lintel
right click > hide window
obsidian patio
Re-entering gpose should hide it again
lilac dock

remote lintel
your tank mentality should be more of "a dps that can take more damage"
tulip plover
Honestly i just pulled the whole group to me keep comboing for aggro if anything leaves me o taunt it back and keep overpower going
simple shore
That's already incorrect then.
remote lintel
I only use provoke in emergency circumstances
simple shore
If there's multiple targets you should just repeatedly spam overpower
tulip plover
Oh yea i do that
obsidian patio
I sometimes use provoke as a longer ranged pull
leaden ginkgo
How do i add more than 2 hotkey bars?
shrewd owl
yeah with around 3 or more enemies jsut keep spamming aoe
if anyone runs off just use the ranged attack
obsidian patio
Well you want to do the whole AoE combo if you have it, not just overpower
tulip plover
Then if one leaves i either tomohawk or taunt
faint flare
Stuff usually shouldnt leave with constant aoe but yeah, conal aoes 🤷♂️
lilac dock
HUD layout makes it a bit easier to move em around but yeah that works
faint flare
Need to get that aiming
tulip plover
To think i learned all those fancy tank tricks >:(
simple shore
I mean you keep typing that
remote lintel
i mean you should learn your rotation
simple shore
and i dont think you know what you're saying
shrewd owl
what do you even mean by "a waste"
simple shore
because there's no such thing as "fancy tank tricks". They have the same DPS combos as everyone else, they just have survival cooldowns on top of that.
lilac dock
tricks are niche, pulling balls to the wall and hoping that my negations are enough is my style
bash and wack your way to victory
tulip plover
Hmm? I mean i learned all those agro tacts from the tutoring thing but all i have to do is keep my aura and spam overpower
lilac dock
Granted im a paladin so what can i say
tulip plover
The novice classes
shrewd owl
dont forget your mitigation abilities
simple shore
if you think "do your 1-2-3 combo" is a "fancy tank trick"....i got bad news for you. that's every melee job.
remote lintel
turn tank stance on
aoe 2 or 3 times
you now have basically permanent aggro
lilac dock
I mean i started with the thing so i might as well use it
shrewd owl
the only way ur gonna lose aggro is if ur not smacking the enemy and just let the dps nuke the thing for a few seconds
tulip plover
Well when i mean fancy tricks i mean using tomahawk to grab everything and get everything in a nice pile
lilac dock
gunbreaker is all damage, but DRK is way more fun than PLD afaik
faint flare
That is what you're meant to do
lilac dock
cause like even lvl 80 paladin is boring as shit
tulip plover
Awwww :(
faint flare
You've been learning your job
remote lintel
pretty much all tanks use a ranged attack and keep running
remote lintel
cause tanks are listed at the top iirc 
tulip plover
Top for what?
faint flare
Its like tanks and heals
remote lintel
of the commendation list
so people just give it to whoever is at the top
and leave
faint flare
Or whoever sticks around
tulip plover
Man i thought i was doing good
lilac dock
i throw it on a healer always
remote lintel
i mean some people do genuinely commend
lilac dock
tankings tougher than DPS but healers have it the worst
faint flare
Others do it for their challenge log
tulip plover
Well no one lost health on my watch so i guess im doing well
oak nacelle
Does anybody else's gladiator iron will perk take a few clicks to register?
faint flare
Maybe lag or something
oak nacelle
Sometimes I have to hit it 2 or 3 times for it to register
remote lintel
is it on a macro?
lilac dock
is it bound to a key or do you click it
vagrant copper
Doing anything wierd with macros?
jaunty bear
I asked a question about the 6D error, just wanted to say I solved the issue by making a new user and running the game that way from that user. I'm currently finding why this is the case, I'll keep you guys updated
oak nacelle
Its bound to a key
warped nest
Does it work better in a different key or with mouse click?
If yes then it is a keyboard issue
oak nacelle
I'll try a different key and go from there
tulip plover
Why are there so many dps classes in the game
warped nest
Easier to design Dps jobs
tulip plover
True
warped nest
Most FF jobs are DPS esque
tulip plover
Maybe the next expansion will bring a healer
vagrant copper
And people like DPS. A lot of people don't like the responsibility of being a tank or healer
tulip plover
I love tanking honestly
warped nest
If you look beyond XIV, most games with defined roles do have more DPS
tulip plover
Dont know why but taking the jobs no body wants is satisfying
fickle sluice
any tanks willing to queue up to do some primal extreme (The Naval)? I have a black mage and Summoner in my party and I'm a white mage.

what is the bar called that shows the targets moves being casted ?
i need it to be bigge

is there like a bank where I can store stuff
leaden ginkgo
in savage it’s too confusing
urban frost
so when I heal with an instant my character kinda wants to go to the target...is there any way to disable that?
twilit arch
its part of the target bar, though you can seperate it into 3 different elements so you can resize the target info (progress bar)
remote lintel
@olive sequoia retainers
twilit arch
and to disable others' effects it is in the character config menu. control settings > character. I would recommend turning party to limited so you can still see the ground AoEs
olive sequoia
where do I find a retainer
twilit arch
@urban frost character config > control settings > target. Untick "automatically face target when using actionn"
remote lintel
go to the marketplace in the main cities and talk to the retainer vocate
make your retainer
summon them with the bell in the marketplace
urban frost
@twilit arch thank you!
vagrant copper
You also need to be decently far in the MSQ to have access to retainers
remote lintel
eh like after you choose your GC
twilit arch
its before that
remote lintel
that's not far
vagrant copper
Not far in the scheme of things but far for a new person 🤷♂️
twilit arch
heck its not even 19. its lvl 17 msq

Is the furniture floating glitch supposed to work with all furniture?
I tried using it on a bed and a (glade) floor lamp side by side, and only the bed rose up
oak ice
Should be right after Copperhell
tulip plover
Yea
remote lintel
you're supposed to kill the bomb if you didn't know
oak ice
Destroying the rock should end the instance as a win
remote lintel
yea
he puts a bomb next to you and if it goes off you die and fail
so you probably killed the rock faster ¯_(ツ)_/¯
tulip plover
Huh mines didnt go off tho
shrewd owl
you can take out the bomb?
remote lintel
yes
remote lintel
probably killed it before it went off
tulip plover
Oh ok
I guess my dps was too B E E F Y
So what is the damage diff between dps and tanks
And ranged dps
remote lintel
tanks do the least, then ranged physical, then melee
then casters
except red mage lmao
tulip plover
Red mage doo doo or something?
simple shore
At the top end of play, tanks will do anywhere from -50% to -85% or so of the DPS jobs.
slate arrow
tulip plover
Ok so doo doo
minor crypt
I have a question and I'm hoping y'all can help
remote lintel
it's not but ok
simple shore
Its less "red mage is bad" and more "summoner is fucking broken right now"
remote lintel
the only other casters are summoner and black mage
both of which have some of the highest dps
tulip plover
Ok so its still good but not top tier
simple shore
realistically most raid groups are only going to have one or two casters. so with RDM being so far behind the other two, its effectively "bad". because you could have been playing one of those other two in that slot instead.
tulip plover
Huh you think the name bard would be for a healing class
