would it be a good idea to try and level gatherers first before starting on crafters?
steel wedge
Just a theoretical question how many expansions should we be looking forward to in the future? Final Fantasy 11 is still going I believe so I’m just curious how much more stories left for 14 to tell you think?
zinc orbitBOT
hot dock
I believe so
strange coral
Only the cracked clusters are. Everything else can be farmed
obsidian wren
@steel wedge it's gonna get another year of support for shadowbringers and then it's basically guaranteed to get at least another 2 years of content for the next expansion
After that nobody knows but if the game keeps going strong we'll probably get another couple expansions after
junior yacht
They've said they have more stories to tell after the current major arc wraps up
how long will that last? who knows?
as long as it keeps making money, probably 
leaden ginkgo
ya if it's profitable it's gonna be updated
peak night
is there any place to ask for help to clear a eden savage raid (e4s) just for in this case. I was thinking of the recruitment tab here, but from what I have seen that is more for recruiting for static parties to do a bunch of content and I really just want the mount. I know about party finder but I have been in pf for like 3 hours.
obsidian wren
I'd say #retired-eu-datacentres but i don't think theres many active raiders in chat there
woven night
i have a geographic question, on top of what is ishgard built on?
lavish breach
ice..?
junior yacht
A mountain
whole wasp
based on the geography of the terrain, it seems like the region where ishgard is built on is a gigantic crater with an island in the middle where foundation is.
That explains why the steps of faith are so gigantic and long.
This means that the area where foundation is built on is either a volcanic caldera or it was built in the middle of a gigantic impact crater from some calamity.
Another theory is the ishgard is built on some nameless mountain part of the coerthas mountain range and the 100 year dragon attacks melted everything around the city leaving it a literal island

lavish vortex
to level from 70 to 80, whats faster as a DPS, dungeon with real people with queues, or TRUST system dungeons with npcs?
little swift
Dungeons with real people should be faster for the run itself. However if you find your queues take longer than that you can run trusts as they normalize the run at 30minutes more or less
So if your queue and your run together is more than 30minutes
Do trusts
lavish vortex
queues rright now are 25 mins aprox
little swift
Then trusts might be something to consider
lavish vortex
ill try that, and also try doing fates while waiting for duties... and see which one ends up being faster, thanks!

What elemental lv are you?
gritty oracle
1...8? 19? somewhere in that ballpark. Can't check atm.
twilit arch
technically, yeah you're close to being able to go to pagos
since you need lv 20
Though its kind of recommended to stay in anemos until closer to 25
its a bit safer to go into pagos later

And str grade 3 pot fof melee n int for casters?
frank ridge
yeah
half kraken
Uh this is really weird, I switched to GNB for a minute, then switched back to my monk set, but now my monk glamor doesn't work says it's due to equipment restrictions
The weapon glamor is still working but not the armor glamor
faint flare
Are you trying to glamour higher level items on low level gear
half kraken
No
lethal elk
Hi guys what's best for squadrons classes ?
river portal
So like, involving treasure maps; I know that you can only gather one per day but is that one per day of each kind or one per day period. i.e if I gather one zonureskin map, can I get a gazelle skin?
faint flare
1 map of any kind
little swift
No darky
half kraken
I'm not glamouring anything this was already glamored the only thing I did was change to a gnb set then back to monk
But when going back the glamour doesn't work
little swift
Did your job stone unequip by accident
frank ridge
Did you bind a plate to a set
half kraken
Job stone got unequipped! That's what went wrong, thank you
Ok next question I'm attacking this striking dummy as gnb and all my skills are missing?
What is going on
faint flare
You're against a higher level dummy
half kraken
Oh I didn't know level mattered like that

does levelling a gatherer get harder later on? it seems pretty easy, just time consuming
faint flare
Not really, how you level doesn't particularly change
proven bay
Leveling gatherers is super simple
Completing the class quests are tedious at worst
But you level up so quick it's insane
tidal yarrow
hey silver was that you this morning that was telling me about hard trials?
marble drift
Yes i belive it was
tidal yarrow
I asked but then I had to go off and couldn't read..
I did the quest with the dude but then on duties I have only the "normal" ones
while the other trial icon is unlocked and I believe it is the one of the hard trials
marble drift
Could I have a screenshot of your duty finder window please?

Always standard step on cooldown

how often do you guys use these skills when crafting?
smoky girder
Can I ask for help picking one of two characters to fantasia
faint flare
Prudent often, patient not much
little swift
focused touch/synth do have their uses if you're trying to do things like fish for excellent as well
patient is the one i'd see people using the least since its so inconsistent
half kraken
Alright so I just spent a bit of time reading all my gnb skills and assigning them to the action bar based on their use, here's what I'm thinking my rotations should be, please correct me if I'm wrong.
Keen edge combo to build up cartridges, generally followed with burst strike if gnashing fang is on cd. If gnashing fang is up, cast no mercy, do your gnashing fang combo while also using the three ogcds danger zone, sonic break, rough divide in between to optimize the use of no mercy. Once you're done with gnashing fang combo, back to the keen edge combo + burst strike rotation until gnashing fang is up again. Is this alright?
And ofc demon slice demon slaughter combo instead of keen edge combo for aoe
little swift
you pretty much use gnashing fang/continuation twice a minute
half kraken
I'm level 60
faint flare
Gnashing fang on cooldown, every other use is under no mercy
faint flare
Pool cartridges for no mercy (aka always have 1 and use the 2nd when you get it)
No
Never hold ogcds
little swift
your first use of it should be under no mercy anyways
half kraken
Oh ok cool
half kraken
So during no mercy I use gnashing fang combo followed by burst strike to use both cartridges asap right
tidal yarrow
@marble drift as soon as I'll be able to play I will and I'll tag you
half kraken
Oh keen edge combo isn't affected by ogcd usage?
faint flare
Usually you hit no mercy around the Keen edge/2nd step
tidal yarrow
I'll be home in an hour
marble drift
cannot promise I will be around to see it
faint flare
Gnashing doesn't break the combo
tidal yarrow
yeah no worries I don't pretend anything lol
faint flare
Or solid strike
little swift
ogcds don't cancel your combo chain
half kraken
How long do I have between each step of the keen edge combo before it runs out?
little swift
they're meant to be weaved
faint flare
Like 15s
tidal yarrow
but yeah I have the icon of the trials red with all the trials and the other icon is like grey as unlocked
faint flare
Iirc
little swift
you have about 10 seconds before you lose a combo
cobalt swift
Hey guys. Im doing the early game levequest where I have to type / soothe to soothe 4 Pyrite Coblyn's but every time I try to do it after having them targeted, they go into a frenzy still.
faint flare
You can do a gnashing and a Solid strike before you need to continue the combo
little swift
you're level 60 you don't have all your tools yet
faint flare
Sonic strike*
little swift
you also get a DoT and continuation
half kraken
The other skills I didn't mention are role skills like provoke, stun, interject, and my defensive skills
half kraken
Sonic break?
faint flare
The gcd dot
little swift
role actions have different use cases compared to your combos but but being able to weave them in between GCDs is good
half kraken
Yep that's sonic break
The one thing I'm not sure about is when to use my defensive skills, and which one to use
Do I just spam them all before a big hit?
little swift
no
faint flare
You cycle them
little swift
the mitigation isn't additive
faint flare
Especially on trash pulls
little swift
its multiplicative
faint flare
You rarely have 2 defensives up unless you flat out need it
Arns length and reprisal
As well
little swift
also heart of stone/ aurora
faint flare
Very good cooldown
little swift
arms legnth, reprisal
faint flare
Aurora on cooldown more or less
little swift
low blow is something to cycle in as well
half kraken
Arms length is only to deal with specific knockbacks or whatever isn't it?
little swift
stunning mobs = not getting hurt from them
little swift
it also applys attack speed slow
half kraken
Oh wow ok
smoky girder
I can't pick between lalafell or au ra. Both are pretty cute, and I feel bad for lalas, but also I'd like a non sack looking outfit
half kraken
Au'ra is best race after miqo'te purely objectively 
I'm good on the dps part since I've been playing Monk the whole game I'm just scared of not managing my defensive skills there's so many
faint flare
Cycle them one by one, usually starting with Nebula while there's more mobs
smoky girder
Tanking looks so hard, yeah
half kraken
Oh also will I ever want to use superbolide? Only if I'm like guaranteed to die if I don't?
half kraken
What about in random groups
little swift
its not just an oh shit button
smoky girder
Yeah, I work a lot with my tank
half kraken
Alrighty
faint flare
And use it when you're low
little swift
since you stop taking damage when you use it
faint flare
So the healer can dos through it
half kraken
Are there specific attacks it doesn't block
little swift
things that wipe the party won't be blocked by it
faint flare
Only Guaranteed wipe attacks like enrages of mechanic fails
half kraken
Like ecliptic meteor or ancient flare
faint flare
Yes
little swift
yes
faint flare
It will go through
half kraken
Man but tanking through one if those would be so cool
Anyway thanks for the help guys
Oh yeah shirk? Is that just when you're swapping the main tank role with another tank?
half kraken
Final question how should I practice, start off with level 15 dungeons just to get the hang of the role?
little swift
so basically if you're not the main tank of a fight you turn your tank stance on after teh opener
and then switch if a mechanic calls for it
which is super rare in normal content
if that's how you're most comfortable playing, you can start that way squall
half kraken
Also I can just use lightning shot purely as a pseudo provoke during light party dungeons right?
faint flare
Its how you pull mainly
marble drift
Generally your threat eclipses other party members as long as you're active
make sure to tag everything and keep hitting it and you won't lose aggro
half kraken
Yeah so provoke isn't needed during 4 mans generally yeah
faint flare
Provided you have tank stance on
barren flax
will resistance weapon eventually turn glowey like anima / eureka weapons ?
faint flare
Yes
marble drift
maybe some overzealous dps single-targets a mob too hard when you're aoe-ing and pulls
and you can use provoke to rip it right back
faint flare
Its just how relics work
barren flax
ah ok
marble drift
yes the 3 other relic weapon chains
faint flare
We upgrade them each patch
half kraken
Oh I've stolen enmity during single target fights as a dps sometimes lol
marble drift
that all glowed like the sun
barren flax
but it'll be like 5.4/5.5?
faint flare
And they glow and change
marble drift
also: dying
barren flax
thanks 😄
half kraken
Oh yeah of course that's a good idea
marble drift
unlikely to happen. a dead tank is generally a wipe
little swift
provoke has a higher cast range than your ranged skill
marble drift
but...if you're quick
little swift
so you can use it to grab other things now
marble drift
and the rez is too
half kraken
Switching to a new class after only playing one is so daunting when you see the skill list haha
Especially one with a different role
zinc orbitBOT
little swift
that's only because you chose somethign that started at such a high level
if you chose say marauder or gladiator
you'd probably be a little bored
half kraken
Not having to level it is the main reason I picked it tbh
marble drift
yeah well the downside is literally what you just mentioned
you swapped to a new class with like 25 buttons
when you're used to getting them slowly over the course
half kraken
I'll take that tradeoff lol
mental garnet
yeah that's relateable
i like to do a little research on the rotations and stuff at the level the character starts at
makes it less daunting
half kraken
Ogcd damaging skills are great since they're just "press this when it's ready"
The job looks really fun because of the gnashing fang combo being something to always look forward to
faint flare
The ammo combi is great with continuation
half kraken
My issue with monk was a lot of skills were straight up useless
mental garnet
positionals really turn me off to a class
half kraken
Plus keeping up GL stacks in between fights is so annoying
mental garnet
so i'm not touching monk til last probably
faint flare
Well after form shift you shouldnt really lose GL
half kraken
Positionals are fine honestly, as long as the boss isn't a helicopter and your tank isn't a ballet dancer
marble drift
I have no experiance playing monk but I feel its definately a class for the perfectionist
half kraken
Yeah that's the thing, having to spam form shift while just running between trash mob packs is so annoying
Can't even relax out of combat lol
And if you do always keep GL stacks up with form shift then perfect balance isn't much use at all
little swift
black mages have to do the same
half kraken
And since form shift means you never run out of GL, tornado kick and 6SS don't have much use
little swift
perfect balance then becomes a means to get out more burst/ apply dots as needed
TK is for downtime
half kraken
Like the only time I can think in my experience of where you'd want to use TK instead of keeping your stacks up is like shiva freeze where you can't use form shift
strong sphinx
not sure if i got it correctly, if i want to play multiple classes and i want them to gear up, leveling crafting/gathering to craft that 480i lvl gear is a faster way to get gear than wait for raid drops?
little swift
!action tornado kick
zinc orbitBOT
Powered by XIVAPI
faint flare
TK is for when you know you can't keep GL in downtime or when you can Anatman the stacks back
half kraken
But that permanent form shift spam just gets so annoying, can't even chill outside of combat
little swift
you wouldn't be able to use tk anyways for shiva hm
faint flare
Well Cutscene shiva in Eden
half kraken
I only got monk to level 64 though, I just finished HW yesterday
little swift
not sure if i got it correctly, if i want to play multiple classes and i want them to gear up, leveling crafting/gathering to craft that 480i lvl gear is a faster way to get gear than wait for raid drops?
@strong sphinx not necessarily. you can gear them with phantasmagoria and allegory and eden drops as well, since crafting the neo-ishgardian yourself requires a higher statline. buying neo-ishgardian from the marketboard would be your quickest avenue though
strong sphinx
how much gil roughly would I need for a full set for lets say whm? i could check too if i knew how to find them on mb haha
achtually found them, they neo ishgardian in their name right?
faint flare
Yes

faint flare
Cause they only come from wonderous tales
half kraken
Oh how do you decide who's MT and who's the side tank in 8 man content without actually saying anything lol
marble drift
the first person to cave and put on stance
half kraken
I'm assuming GNB is usually side tank since (I think) they don't have as many defensive options?
half kraken
Ok cool so it's just based on whether you wanna or not nice lol
half kraken
I'm guessing I don't need to worry about swapping MT/ST until harder content in ShB?
marble drift
I cannot think off the top of my head a normal fight that requires a tank swap
half kraken
Where is it usually required?
marble drift
You level the class not the job
half kraken
Yeah you're ultimately leveling arcanist the whole time
marble drift
Savage raiding/Extreme trials
wait no I think you still need to taunt for one of the old alex raids on normal?
half kraken
Going arc seems pretty cool since you can basically switch between dps/healer without having to level
twilit arch
If you look in the chat box whenever you level up any ARR job
marble drift
you're actually leveling gladiator
marble drift
^
twilit arch
Because you, while you have a job stone on, you do not stop being the class
half kraken
Yeah even when I'm monk I get pugilist exp
twilit arch
yes
half kraken
Does any class have 2 jobs other than arc?
marble drift
if you never got a summoner job stone

@cobalt pagoda Not really. It's all basic stuff. Face adds away and such. The only thing to keep in mind is during the last boss. When you see tiny black holes and a long cast bar on the boss, wait until it's almost full then touch a black hole to get shielded from the long cast.

@faint flare I've been playing the free trial on ps4 rn. but if I decide to continue to play I'd have to buy the steam version as well because the montly fee is cheaper there. any right/wrong way to do it? and if I buy the starter version both on steam and ps4 do I get 2 months? 
indigo orbit
and proto-ultima ring of slaying(?)
twilit arch
if you're gearing for dragoon, just buy pankratiast accessories
they are meant for melee jobs
indigo orbit
All I remember is the proto-ultima stuff is i270 so it's comparable to augmented shire
rustic dome
@twilit arch ok ty 🙂
indigo orbit
you can only get one a week tho
twilit arch
they are, but its more effort than its worth to get them
since it requires you to have dun scaith unlocked, and the queues for shadows of mhach raid series are usually not that quick
rustic dome
Im doing HW quests but am lvl 70 atm
indigo orbit
I get those raids plenty often in alliance roulette
But individual queues yeah probably not
rustic dome
so i guess I just keep doing msq and get SB poetics gear when I get there?
twilit arch
mhm
indigo orbit
yeah more or less
rustic dome
Ty all :)=
indigo orbit
You'll get the i295 set from your lv70 job quest
And from there you can run stuff for poetics to get that gear
rustic dome
problem is I am doing lvl 59 msq quest atm, so it's going to be a while before I get to the point where I can do those job quests
gloomy ice
The post HW/pre SB quests are much fewer in number than ARR/HW.
indigo orbit
oh
Well then rather than farming poetics before you get to stormblood you can probably just keep doing MSQ and you'll get free gear that'll be at least good enough for the start of SB
marble drift
augment your shire gear and it'll last well into Stormblood

you can either check the marketboard for them, or raise a crafter to lvl 15 to do the quest to unlock them

indigo orbit
It's not really a toggle per se as glamours will alter the look of your gear until you change them

Im guessing getting gear first and the accessories

left side stuff is generally more weighty than right side yeah

So I can play with my character but I have to rebuy all the other expansion shit

like Egiglamour "Ifrit-Egi" "Emerald Carbuncle"

/egiglamour “Garuda-Egi”Emerald Carbuncle should be correct yes?
I could swear I’m doing that but it isn’t working hmmmm

Is it just impossible to clear e6s with a party of 480s? We did a run in which we didn't die once, yet we were only doing something like 75k Total DPS accourding to one of them. I know there are min-max things we can do like, getting a perfect party composition, using potions, exploiting uptime strats to the limit etc. but for an almost "perfect run" untill we died near enrage, and to be that far off from the DPS check, makes me thing the recomended iLV for e6s is leaning moreso towards 485 iLV?
faint flare
Yes you can, people need to actually know their rotations and stuff
People cleared it week 1 with the gear
indigo orbit
The minimum ilv I'm guessing is set when the dev teams run it themselves
Because if they can clear it at that item level then you should be able to as well

hey, just reinstalled ff14 due to windows reinstall, previously copied the whole sqenix folder and basically installed fresh ff14 game, then removed new files and replaced with all. loaded up perfectly, but all the settings are gone including HUD etc.
is there any way to recover custom keybinds, hud layout etc?

Your previous grand company's rank/seals are frozen when you switch. So whatever rank you were is what you will be when you switch back. No, you cannot use glamour/barding from another grand company if you're not part of that grand company

Best way might just be to follow the trains and do the daily and weekly logs.

latent bloom
Vote abandon

Or get kicked

I would hope the latter doesnt happen

But ya, it's in the tab where you would select dungeons and roulettes
graceful mountain
I knew there was an option to do so as a full party I just wasn't sure what
graceful mountain
Yup we're queuing as a light party, thanks!
twilit arch
just going to give a caveat, in that even with a full party you will receive penalty for the first person if you queued for roulette
probably because its kind of shitty to have a 30minute penalty if you get kicked by people being jerks

How does dyeing glamour work using the dresser. Do I have to dye the piece of gear before putting it in, or dye it after I place it in a preset.
twilit arch
The item will retain any dye it has on it when you put it in
gloomy ice
If you dye it before putting it in the dresser, it'll hold the color.
twilit arch
and will be dyed that colour when you place it on the plate
gloomy ice
If you dye the preset, it'll hold only on that preset
twilit arch
so its generally recommend if you want to use an expensive dye, to put it on the item itself
rather than dyeing the plate
noble ember
Perfect. Cause I have gloves I want pure white didny wanna mess it up
latent bloom
@woven night Each tank has their own strengths and weaknesses. There is no one tank that is the best. The "easiest" might be Paladin.
twilit arch
you can also dye it item inside of the dresser itself
for the same affect as dying it before putting it in

twilit arch
you only get 1 free fantasia in-game (from the main scernario quest "The Ultimate Weapon" which is lvl 50). Rest will have to be bought from mogstation @median inlet
latent bloom
Mix of three tanks
crimson wind
oh
median inlet
Perfect, thanks!
latent bloom
Jack of all Trades kinda thing
crimson wind
Actually id say GNB is the most unique of the tanks
nova umbra
huh well that sucks... I thought my level 80 skill on dancer would be something cool :/
crimson wind
since the cartridge system may not be too different fron the gauges, but it's different enough to be unique
latent bloom
Regardless, if PLD isnt of your interest, GNB is also a good one to start on
If you can get to 60
crimson wind
GNB starts at 60 too
latent bloom
or buy it
crimson wind
don't buy it

I mean, you have to reach 60 to unlock it

One exclamation mark is a crit, multiple is a direct hit crit

If the text is bigger, but no exclamation, then it is a direct hit
Direct hit are like mini crit

mini crit? so stronger than normal attack but not as good as a crit?
twin stream
Encrypted Tomestone?
warped nest
Yeah
twin stream
Thanks very much! 🙂 Will do so now then.
warped nest
If you have more direct hit in your stat, it means direct hit happen more frequently
If you have more crit in your stat, it means that crit happen more frequently and the crit damage increase is higher
Direct and crit can stack, if anyone else here aren't aware of that

warped nest
Yoshi-P himself (the game's producer) recommended Gladiator (tank), Conjurer (Healer), Lancer (DPS) in one of the recent Producer Live Letter (offcial Stream covering various topics)
I personally recommend tanks (Gladiator or marauder), tanks have simpler damage skill rotation, this allows you to pay more attention to the dungeons and their mechanics
gloomy mortar
Edda was a healer
cosmic juniper
Hm ok. Is gladiator a more defense type? Because I like DPS
warped nest
Gladiator is a tank
warped nest
This game has predefined roles
gloomy mortar
Gladiator has a shield, Marauders don’t
warped nest
You cannot make a DPS becomes a tank
cosmic juniper
Well I meant which class does the higher damage between glad and marauder
warped nest
They are both tanks, and they are like 1-2% away from each other
This game is very close to being perfectly balanced
You will hear "pick what you like", "up to you", "this is optional" over and over again
cosmic juniper
So like a Dps will always have higher numbers compared to a tank? Even though the tank has way better gear
faint flare
Yes
warped nest
A lvl 80 tank will beat a lvl 1 Dps
faint flare
Unless the gear difference is big
warped nest
So I dunno what kind of difference you are thinking

Say a lv80 tank vs lv80 DPS. Lv80 tank has end game gear, while DPS is wearing complete trash gear like beginner stuff
warped nest
All your stats come from gear

How do you change the personality of your retainers? Mine is pretty rude

Naked level 80 character is only slightly better than a geared low level Character only because naked lvl 80 character have access to higher potency skill

stats don't scale with level basically
i mean i guess theres stuff about crit but not much
warped nest
Your character level determines what you are allowed to equipped, and hence affect your stat
Btw, while we are at stats, leveling any roles will not build your stat for your character
So, leveling a Mage for a long time will not make your character less optimal in being a Samurai
