[rare comet]

gotcha

[fresh lodge]

Does it only happen when you try to log in to your character?

[rare comet]

yep

[fresh lodge]

So if you sit on the character select screen but don't load it its fine?

[rare comet]

also yep

at least, as far as I know

[fresh lodge]

Back up your character and system settings

[rare comet]

don't ever sit on characters select for too long

I'll give it a shot

[fresh lodge]

The cogs next to the New Character and your character Name to back your settings up to the server

Hmm

You've played on this computer before right?

[rare comet]

uh

and yeah, I have

used it for free trial

the other backup saved fine

not this one

[fresh lodge]

Alright

Hit Windows key + R

Then type DxDiag

[rare comet]

I ran the diag tool

currently uh

running

[fresh lodge]

Take a screenshot of the System tab and Display 1

[rare comet]

mind if I pm you it?

[fresh lodge]

Sure

[brittle umbra]

Can someone pls tell me how to get “no.2 type b boots”?

[obsidian patio]

You get it from the No.2 Type B Materiel Storage Crate from the Copied Factory, the first part of the Shadowbringers 24-man alliance raid

3 of them drop from the final boss and are rolled on by everyone

[mossy tartan]

Do I use standard finish after a big pull to damage the monsters instead of using the usual AoE rotation?

[obsidian patio]

Yes and no.

I think past like 7 or 8 targets you only use Standard Step to keep up the damage buff instead of the damage

lemme double check the balance for the exact number

[mossy tartan]

Ok

Just wanted to know if it’s more efficient to use it every time it’s off CD for the damage

[obsidian patio]

From what I'm reading, past 4 targets you only use Standard Step to refresh the damage buff.

though you could use it if one target has particularly more HP than the others

[desert ravine]

are the AI's in trust dungeons dumb? does it work like the duty finder where the tank guides us or i have to do everything myself as a dps

[mossy tartan]

I’m using it a lot on bosses, I like the burst but was afraid it would be less efficient than just doing the combos

thank you

[obsidian patio]

@desert ravine Thancred kinda follows you, but he's very good at picking up the enemies right away

but expect dungeons to generally take around 30 minutes or so using Trusts, as none of the NPCs besides Thancred uses AoE.

[desert ravine]

okay i'll take it, it's more than 30minutes of wait time or more in duty finder anyways

[obsidian patio]

depends on the item exactly.

if it was an item you bought off the marketboard you'll just have to buy another. :\

but depending on the exact legs/boots they were, it might be buyable from the calamity salvager

[frozen karma]

how do you set your glamour plate to not change if you switch your gear?

[obsidian patio]

Do you mean when you switch to a gearset? just don't link a plate to that gearset.

unless you mean when you equip new items, in which case you have to apply the plate again

[frozen karma]

yeah I'm in the story but I keep getting new armour all the time

[desert ravine]

okay we just wiped. what is this

[obsidian patio]

You can always do glamouring the old-fashioned way of right-clicking > Apply Glamour and carry a small stack of glamour prisms

[desert ravine]

healer bad

[obsidian patio]

Urianger sometimes acts a bit weird for some bosses, I heard people say Alphinaud is generally more consistent

[warped nest]

Glamour plate can be manually applied again and again in cities

If you don't want to spend glamour prism left and right

[frozen karma]

yeah I only have like 9

[warped nest]

I like to see new gears don't link glamour plate to gearset ever
I don't care, just want to see my glamour link glamour plate and equip gearset in cities to apply it
it depends on my mood manually apply glamour plate in cities

[obsidian patio]

You can buy more with grand company seals

and they're generally very cheap on the marketboard.

[warped nest]

I just want some armors to look like my glamour do it manually with prism (so you need to have prism and glamour in your inventory). Alternatively, you take off everything else and manually apply glamour plate (only works in cities)

[worn scaffold]

Hmm is there a macro out there that lets my party know when I manually activate a specific skill?

Want to let my party know when I activate living dead

[warped nest]

You just have the macro saying something to your party specifically for that skill

/p I have activated Living Dead

Macros are not meant to be smart

[real seal]

every time I use my living dead macro healers just continue to heal as usual

[warped nest]

To make it more obvious you can attach a <se.1> in the end of the line to play a sound

[real seal]

in rare cases they let me drop to 1 hp and then just don't heal to full lol

[jade quartz]

Mmmm

[warped nest]

Change 1 to other numbers for different sound

Some healer might not know how your invuln works

[deft raptor]

Hi all! I’m a recently returning player, so I have an understanding of most of the jobs, but I am returning as a PS4 player instead of PC. I’ve had a fairly easy time converting as DPS but I am seriously considering leveling a healing job. My questions is how do you (any ps4 player) find healing on controller? Are there some tricks to quickly switch between tanks and low hp dps? Seems like it might be kind of iffy just using up and down to target.

[warped nest]

That's a possibility you need to consider

[jade quartz]

I do feel that most healers who know how to properly deal with a tank using Living Dead also will notice the buff without needing a macro telling them

[warped nest]

Get used to dpad targetting

For controller, I think soft-targeting is on by default

[real seal]

I do feel that most healers who know how to properly deal with a tank using Living Dead also will notice the buff without needing a macro telling them
Indeed. Maybe I should add explanation of the skill to the macro

[warped nest]

So as long as you know how to handle that to your advantage

[jade quartz]

I kinda doubt that will have significant effect

[warped nest]

Soft-targetting is a thing that only targets your new target for 1 action, once you use a skill or ability, it will go back to your previous target

[worn scaffold]

I'm not familiar with macros so sorry about the lack of knowledge about them. @real seal Yeah I think I had a healer freak out recently when my hp dropped to 1 and living dead already procced walking dead so I'm not sure but I think my healer was just waiting for me to die since it was a lost cause lol

[deft raptor]

Yeah, soft target will def make getting back to the tank no biggie. My concern is more the “oh shit” heals on that BLM that stood in an ouch circle for too long and is a ways away in the target list

[jade quartz]

but can't hurt, if you can be bothered hitting it

[warped nest]

You are never more than 4 dpad input away from any party member if you loop around the list

If that's not fast enough, I don't have any other recommendations on how to improve that

TwT

[deft raptor]

What about in raid scenarios? I don’t remember exactly how many people are in raid/extremes

[jade quartz]

You are never more than 4 inputs away

the party list wraps around top->bottom when you press up

[warped nest]

8-players btw

[worn scaffold]

@warped nest so I just input that phrase on living dead in the macro section and im good to go?

[deft raptor]

It was only 8? Lol, I was off. I thought there were like 12 player content or something

[jade quartz]

There is 24-man content, but it is divided into 3 parties of 8

[warped nest]

There are 24 players content, but you don't take care of all of them

[jade quartz]

and as a healer in that content you only heal your own party

[deft raptor]

Oh, well then that’s no big deal. Thanks!

[obsidian patio]

yeah there's little reason to help the other parties in terms of healing unless their healers are dead.

[jade quartz]

unless the healers in another of the parties go down, in which case you manually go through the bother of targeting them and raising them.

[obsidian patio]

in which case, you can use L1+left/right to scroll through the other alliance parties

[deft raptor]

Could honestly probably use virtual mouse for that

[west swallow]

so to farm Allied seal the best way is from Weekly Hunt each expansion and from where?

I need a ton for ARR Travel Speed

[jade quartz]

A rank and S rank mobs

which do not require picking up any hunt bills.

[real seal]

masked carnivale is a lot of seals, too

[west swallow]

is there channel or website that can share that Rank mobs?

[jade quartz]

They are simply found in the overworld after respawning every x hours.

[obsidian patio]

https://discord.gg/dZTgnpv

[jade quartz]

Hunts are mostly tracked nowadays through datacentre-wide discord servers ^

[fervent silo]

is there a way to see which expansions i own in the mogstation or other related sites?

[obsidian patio]

most people probably don't keep track of ARR A-Ranks anymore because they die super fast with a level 80 job.

Log into your mogstation and go to the "Your Account" section

[west swallow]

ty for the discord link

[fervent silo]

ty

[west swallow]

so hunt and maybe Blue Mage quest

is there leveling guide for this class beside with group?

I read leveling this class is difficult

[obsidian patio]

kill stuff on the overworld equal to your level for the most part.

[real seal]

ask a high-level friend to kill stuff for you after you tag it 👀

[forest laurel]

blue mage?

[obsidian patio]

For the first 40 or so levels you can one-shot everything with 1,000 Needles learned from a mob near Little Ala Mhigo in Southern Thanalan.

[forest laurel]

go to azys lla with someone, hit stuff and let em kill it for you. you'll have to be not in a party

[obsidian patio]

Note that BLU scales a lot harder on the Intelligence stat compared to other casting classes as their weapon is cosmetic and doesn't give Weapon Damage.

[forest laurel]

around this area here

[obsidian patio]

so keeping your gear up to date is more vital for doing good damage once 1,000 Needles stops being good AKA stops killing enemies in one cast.

[forest laurel]

got my BLU up to 60 in like, what, 15-20min?

[west swallow]

go to azys lla with someone, hit stuff and let em kill it for you. you'll have to be not in a party
what do you mean not in party?, so they just standing beside me killing stuff
@forest laurel

[obsidian patio]

You attack the monster and then they one-shot it

[forest laurel]

ye

[obsidian patio]

you can't be in the same party as them because that would make the monsters not give any experience due to a large gap in level between players

[forest laurel]

highly suggest you get flying sardine tho, from apkallus near costa del sol.

instant cast, which means you can keep moving.

[west swallow]

For the first 40 or so levels you can one-shot everything with 1,000 Needles learned from a mob near Little Ala Mhigo in Southern Thanalan.
Do I need to take Hit for Monster Skill? I think I will probably die
@obsidian patio

[obsidian patio]

Nope

the skill just needs to be casted.

[marble drift]

you need to just see it, not get hit by it

[west swallow]

ok, I think Blue Mage is spell collecting is fine time wasting for 5.3

ty all for the answer

[real seal]

and another poor soul is set onto the path to morbol

[lime geode]

Does the general advice to spec your Chocobo as healer still hold true when you're a healer?

[proud willow]

It's fine to do so, so that it'll be useful while you're on other classes

healer chocobos still deal damage

[obsidian patio]

I'd go hybrid on healer/dps IMO

[lime geode]

And leave in free stance?

[obsidian patio]

yep

[gritty oracle]

I plan to go all the way until Choco Medica (not actually get ChMedica) and then continue in the DPS tree.

[obsidian patio]

maybe stop it in Healer at level 4 for Choco Cure or 6 for the increased crit rate, for what I did.

[lime geode]

ok - I only have one point so far

Took my lancer to 45 and then switched to conj to go WHM.

Two daily roulettes took me from 15-25, so now just trying to get to 30. Should I just do the hunting journal?

[proud willow]

the fastest XP as a healer is just queuing up for the highest available dungeon

[lime geode]

Yeah my last four queues were instant.

[proud willow]

at 24 that'd be Toto-Rak, at 28, Haukke Manor

[lime geode]

Thanks

[forest laurel]

hunting log is only good for like, levels 1-10 tbh

otherwise they're just good for achievements and some glam I guess

bc completing a hunting log for a class gives you a ring

[lime geode]

Hmm Haukke Manor isn't on my list - goes straight to temple of Qarn. Guess I'll go find it

Ah ok - reading through the advice online is hard since there's so much and a lot of it is out of date.

[forest laurel]

haukke manor is from

focus on and

[proud willow]

if you haven't done MSQ yet, MSQ is also lots of XP

[lime geode]

Yeah I went to 45 on lancer, now getting my WHM up to take over.

Although MSQ is only lvl 28 so guess I could jump in 🙂

[forest laurel]

don't do , and only do roulettes when you need em tbh

[proud willow]

Yeah, the level 28 MSQ is where you're going to get to Haukke

[lime geode]

Ah ic.

[mossy tartan]

Thank you

[median inlet]

Do I need to beat the main story in order to get the lvl 52+ Class quests?

[faint flare]

You need to get to heavensward

[median inlet]

How far into the story is that?

[faint flare]

100 quests after Ultimate weapon

[median inlet]

As in, story quests?

[faint flare]

Yes

Sounds great

Thanks

[solemn delta]

My map has gone fooked I can't target specific locations it omly follows the button?

Bottom

[grizzled mist]

What do you mean target locations?

Like place flags on the map...?

[solemn delta]

On ps4 I usually just use square and r1 to travel

Except a few like gangos

But it was like locked to the bottom of v the map

[grizzled mist]

Ah, controller stuff

Can't help ya there, so hopefully someone else comes lol

[solemn delta]

It seems to hsve fixed itself think it was a bug

[grizzled mist]

All in a day's work, no need to thank me 😎

[mossy sail]

Do collaboration events usually come back in FFXIV? Just saw the mount from the FFXV event quest which is currently unavailable

[solemn delta]

Cause i use world map 90% if the time

[vagrant copper]

Tough to say Niclas. Though there's a good chance it'll be available somehow in the future. Maybe as an expensive af mount through the mogstation

[onyx kiln]

so i bought some of the tomes needed to spot certain items in unspoiled node for the HW zones but did it when i was tired AF. and now i don't know if i bought 3 or 4 of the 9 there is. don't want to risk wasting my scripts so is there a clear way to see if you have them already before buying them?

[grizzled mist]

If they're anything like the master recipes, you can't have more than one

Even if you've used the books already

[vagrant copper]

I don't know about those specifically but the game usually gives you a warning or prevents you from buying things you've already used

[onyx kiln]

so if i where to try buy another copy, it would just say i already have it?

[grizzled mist]

I can check for ya real quick, one sec

Yeah, it should give you this message

[onyx kiln]

okay, thats good to know

thanks for the help

[grizzled mist]

No problemo!

[onyx kiln]

also, is it usually better to go for a easy effort item or high end item if you want to earn a lot of crafters scripts?

[wintry chasm]

One of the highest items but the easiest to make/the item you have lots of materials for

Really nice when it's starred too

[grizzled mist]

Yeah, I usually just do whichever gives the most scrips (Bonus points if there's a star)

It's never really given me enough trouble for me to consider choosing an easier item

Though if the mats are too annoying, then I would consider picking something else with a slightly lower pay but easier mats

[wintry chasm]

A favourite amongst most people for level 80 I think are the potions

[onyx kiln]

my current levels for all DoH classes are somewhere between 57 to 61. with exception of WVR which is at 69. so mats will be rough to make for that one i think

[wintry chasm]

Well you wouldn't even have the option then

Tbh if this is just for books I wouldn't bother

Just use custom deliveries for that

[grizzled mist]

Ah, right, custom deliveries also have a pretty good payout for scrips

[wintry chasm]

And xp

[grizzled mist]

Yeah

Be sure to do them every week

[ivory latch]

Hello, a friend forgot his Square Enix password and doesn't receive any e-mail. He tried many times and waited for hours but it still doesn't work. Do you have any ideas of what he should do ? He remembers his old password but it doesn't work anymore. (I know he's dumb)

[wintry chasm]

Are you sure he is checking the right email/ checking spam or something?

[ivory latch]

He told me yes

[wintry chasm]

Right well, not much to do me thinks except call support

[obsidian patio]

90

[faint lantern]

If I put an aetherial item in my glamour dresser when I pull it out will it regain it's bonuses?

[wintry chasm]

Bonuses?

You just mean it's stats right? They'd stay

[gritty oracle]

Also, stats don't matter on non ShB relics right? Because it's only for glam.

[leaden ginkgo]

how do i unlock levequests?

[vagrant copper]

You should have a in the settlement outside your starting city that unlocks levequests in general. Then in each new area, there'd be another to unlock those.

[obsidian patio]

@gritty oracle correct

[grizzled mist]

Do the bonus scrips give an additional 116/127 here, or is that supposed to be the total you get for the specified collectability?

[green grail]

it's the totals

[grizzled mist]

Got it. Thanks!

[wintry chasm]

Um, hi

[faint lantern]

@wintry chasm Thanks!

[wintry chasm]

Oh nw

[forest laurel]

does anyone know the name of the clown-y song that plays in potd 51-60? I've never heard it anywhere else in the game which I find weird

[wintry chasm]

Song is random in PotD

[forest laurel]

yeah ik it's random, I hear it sometimes, I've heard the rest of the songs in there in other content, it's just the clown song that I've never heard anywhere else

[obsidian patio]

did it sound really intense and high-beat?

[forest laurel]

no

[obsidian patio]

This playlist should have all the random tracks that can happen in POTD
https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLWy37j557kNwAsChUwhc4vZ-2o02vjxKA

just ignore that last video at the very end of the list which is obviously not FF14

[grizzled mist]

You can also try and use Shazam the next time you hear it, but from my experience, the song title will be in Japanese, so you'd have to do some digging to find the english title and stuff

[forest laurel]

I looked through that playlist before, the song isn't there

[lean dragon]

Can you change the order of your linkshells?

[mossy tartan]

What’s the name of E7’s theme? and does it have an orchestrion?

[obsidian patio]

E7 is Force Your Way, the same as E1 and E2

and yes

[mossy tartan]

thank you

[lean dragon]

@obsidian patio How?

[obsidian patio]

sorry i meant yes for remilia of it having an orchestiron roll

[grizzled mist]

@forest laurel Is it maybe this one? It has Jester in the title
https://youtu.be/eOTLZHIkBRE

[obsidian patio]

I don't think there's a way to rearrange Linkshells

[forest laurel]

no that's not it

I've never heard that in potd

[grizzled mist]

Darn

[forest laurel]

trying to look thru potd videos to find it

[lean dragon]

Oh alright

[jade saddle]

newbie question: as a starting SMN (lvl mid 50's, mid ARR..) I'm wondering if there are lots of the "+" quests not worth my time, e.g. I started Beast Tribe quests, was looking at DoL/H, find myself googling each of these "+" quests individually. It'd be nice to clean them off the map, otoh not sure if it's worth sinking time into them. Are there a top few to target? Thank you

[obsidian patio]

in terms of ARR content, the only real important one (that will eventually become part of the MSQ) is the Crystal Tower series.

[wintry chasm]

If you can do the 8-man raid called coils with friends that might be worth it too

But that content is unique in that the normal version is actually pretty hard so no one queues for it and they use party finder and do it unsynced at a higher level to make it easier

[jade saddle]

ok thanks

[grizzled mist]

@forest laurel This one, maybe?
https://youtu.be/Mq9sktGjkkg

[forest laurel]

THAT'S THE BITCH

[grizzled mist]

LMAO

You're welcome :P

[obsidian patio]

yeah POTD can have some pretty random songs in it

like this one https://youtu.be/2yR6UkK6KIU

[grizzled mist]

I found a 51-60 video and Shazam'd it lol

Good opportunity to let some obscure niche music shine tbh

It'd be a shame if that theme was only used once for some random event and then forgotten lol

[leaden ginkgo]

Hi!

Is it possible for someone from aether to play with soemone from crystal data centre?

[obsidian patio]

Nope.

[leaden ginkgo]

Oh gosh

[obsidian patio]

Datacenters are completely isolated from each other.

You'd need to pay for a Home World transfer to a server on Crystal to play with people on Crystal.

[wintry chasm]

Or just make a new character on Crystal

[grizzled mist]

Are these gems valuable or useful? I feel like in the few FCs I've been in, I've always seen them in the 5th tab with deposit only

[fresh lodge]

Its for crafting recipes

[wintry chasm]

Not really valuable tbh

[grizzled mist]

Ah, maybe it was just coincidence that I always saw them there lol

Knew it was for crafting recipes, but they seemed easy to obtain, and the recipes were all pretty low level

[vagrant copper]

All of them?

[median locust]

Like on Discord? There isn't an official one afaik

You'll have to give more details I think

[left cape]

sorry, I mean the Discord server

[vagrant copper]

There is no official FFXIV discord

[median locust]

This is probably the most general purpose FFXIV Discord there is so it's the closest to an "official" Discord we'll have

[tidal yarrow]

what are the allagan tomestones of poetics? just finished a trial and it said I can't carry any more

[median locust]

They're currency used to purchase various things at old level caps

[tidal yarrow]

where can I go to spend em?

[median locust]

Most notably the best gear you can get at the end of each expansion

Mor Dhona has a counter where you can buy iLv120 Ironworks gear with them

[tidal yarrow]

mhh im level 56 so not sure if they will be available

but I'll check

[vagrant copper]

They're level 50 equipment

[median locust]

Yes, the item level isn't the equip level

[tidal yarrow]

ohh yeah ofc

[median locust]

It's just to know how good the gear is in relation to other pieces of gear that are also level 50

[tidal yarrow]

so I should but that armor

buy*

I'm kinda sad that I wasted some mats ugh

[median locust]

At lv60 after you reach Idyllshire you'll be able to buy lv60 iLv260 gear, and after you beat Stormblood, you'll be able to buy lv70 iLv390 gear with poetics

[tidal yarrow]

so maybe I should keep some tomestones for the lvl60 one?

[median locust]

Nah, they're not that hard to get

You get them from doing just about anything at old level caps

[forest laurel]

you can get poetics gear for alt jobs if you want to

[median locust]

lv50, 60, 70

[forest laurel]

augmented poetics gear will last until 55/65/75

and shire gear is the best poetics gear glamwise, don't @ me

[median locust]

it's scaevan but ok

[forest laurel]

wrong

are there any guides on doing potd solo? and how do you exactly get gelmorran potsherds? I barely get em whereas in hoh I get lots of em

[median locust]

You can also get a weapon (even though it doesn't show up at the vendor) by buying 10 "Rowena's Token (Poetics)" and one "Encrypted Tomestone", then talking to the vendor on the right and choosing "Ironworks Gear"

Not sure if that's what the vendor is called but it should be under Ironworks Gear

or Ironworks Gear Exchange

[oak ice]

I think you people mean Shire gear and not Ironworks?

[median locust]

Nope, Ironworks

[vagrant copper]

Given the person is level 56 still in ARR, no

[wintry chasm]

I'm losing track of this conversation

[tidal yarrow]

I don't know it says I don't have the mats. and they sell only weapons not armors so maybe I'm looking at the wrong thing

[oak ice]

Primal gear is i230 available in Idyllshire

[vagrant copper]

One person sells weapons. The other sells armor, accessories, and the materials you trade for the weapons.

[median locust]

They're not in HW

[wintry chasm]

Technically that's eikonic gear?

Primal gear would be more appropriately that one weapon set thing at 50

[median locust]

They probably said Primal Gear cause the vendor next to the tomestone vendor in Mor Dhona has an option that says Primal Gear

[tidal yarrow]

ohh I found what u guys talking about thanks

I honestly care more about glamour

any suggestion?^^'

[median locust]

👍

[woven night]

What is the easiest job to play in pvp?

[median locust]

Depends what you like in glamour

[tidal yarrow]

well there's not much I'll look at each one!

[wintry chasm]

I'd say "not melee" Fortune

[median locust]

You can browse https://ffxiv.eorzeacollection.com/ or /r/FFXIVGlamours if you need ideas

[tidal yarrow]

can I equip as glamour like a pgl piece in my paladin?

[median locust]

Nope, you have to be able to equip it in the first place

Well, if it says "Disciple of War" then yes

[wintry chasm]

Yeah have to be able to wear it and has to be the same level or lower than your equipped gear

[tidal yarrow]

okay I bought entire set of pld

doesn't look well on my cute little aura

glamour time

[wintry chasm]

You can get a weapon as well just fyi

I assume you didn't get it

[tidal yarrow]

the girl on the left sells the weapon

but it requires different materials

[vagrant copper]

The girl in the middle sells everything you need

Though you might be out of tomestones at this point 🤷‍♂️

[median locust]

There should be an option for "Tomestones of Poetics Exchange (Others)" where you can buy the items you need for the Ironworks weapons

[tidal yarrow]

ohh

[median locust]

10x Rowena's Token (Poetics) and 1x Encrypted Tomestone

or if you're PLD... I think you only need 7

and you buy the shield directly

[tidal yarrow]

yeah 7!

[median locust]

Then yeah you can buy these then exchange them at the other vendor

[hybrid owl]

whats a good way to farm poetics instead of daily roullete?

[tidal yarrow]

what does reflections orchestrion roll do?

[median locust]

Orchestrion Rolls are songs you can play at an Orchestrion

Which are in Inn rooms, but you can also have them in personal housing

Eureka is amazing to farm Poetics if you're lv70 and have some levels in there

MSQ Roulette is always amazing

[wintry chasm]

Yeah if you have a roll just use it

It saves on your person

[median locust]

Reflections is the song that plays at night in Mor Dhona btw

[tidal yarrow]

oh okay thank you!

one last thing.. why can't I apply glamour plates?

[barren flax]

what time does weekly resets happen?

[tidal yarrow]

it says unable to apply plates now

once I full equipped the armor

[vagrant copper]

You need to be in a large city like Limsa

[wintry chasm]

Can't do it in like, actual areas

[tidal yarrow]

oh..

[wintry chasm]

Yeah it's a bit lame

[median locust]

You can only apply Glamour Plates in cities. Mor Dhona doesn't count cause it's technically an overworld area

[tidal yarrow]

how can I have like an instrument?

I saw ppl playing them

and that's pretty damn cool ngl

[median locust]

Get Archer/Bard to level 30

Then the unlock quest is in front of the Amphitheater in Gridania

[barren flax]

Is there any point in buying Eden Verse gear when i have Neo Ishgardian set?

[tidal yarrow]

I see thx

[median locust]

Normal mode Eden Verse, no. Unless you like how they look :p

[barren flax]

so save those for other classes?

[median locust]

You can yeah

[barren flax]

ty

[empty sleet]

Hey guys, maximum in a party can have how many people who cleared that stage?

Like for e5s, if 2 out of 8 have cleared, do we still get 2 chests?

[open coral]

No

[empty sleet]

How does the game determine?

[open coral]

If even one person has cleared, you're automatically going to get fewer than 2 chests.

If two have cleared, you'll only get 1. I forget where the cutoff is below that, but there's a point where you'll get 0 if a certain number of players have cleared the tier for the week as well.

[empty sleet]

I see, thank you!

[marble crow]

How do you get a bloody lance head? Eorzea database isn't helping

[raw solstice]

wanderer's palace https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Bloody_Lance_Head

[marble crow]

Thanks!

[median locust]

0 people have already cleared = 2 chests
1-4 have already cleared = 1 chest
5+ have already cleared = 0 chest

[median locust]

Which tank?

[barren flax]

pld

[frail fulcrum]

Can i have gae bolg and longinus at the same time?

[proper flower]

Hey guys, I've put together a static to clear older savage/ex trials/raids at the min. ilvl.
Should we gear for those particular places or would the "Min ilvl" Button on the duty finder do everything for us?

[median locust]

Meld to your preferred GCD tier, then DH, then Det

[barren flax]

oh so im not supposed to roll crit?

[median locust]

@frail fulcrum Once you finish the last step of your ARR relic you'll be able to buy replicas of the previous steps for a bit of gil

@barren flax This is after crit like you asked

[barren flax]

oh right

got it.

[open coral]

@proper flower Selecting "Minimum ilevel" in your duty finder options will sync your party down to the minimum ilevel for the instance.

[proper flower]

And that'll prevent us from steamrolling the content? 😄

[open coral]

Yes. Very much so. If you'd like to see an example, see if you can find a video of the "Yoshi P sanpo" from the second half of the most recent liveletter. He hosted min ilevel, level synced runs of the first two Crystal Tower raids (he didn't do the third at min ilevel simply because there wasn't enough time).

[proper flower]

Hah! awesome, thankyou Astra.

[tidal yarrow]

what am I messing up?

[open coral]

Just say Tataru

[raw solstice]

it's case sensitive

[open coral]

That too

[raw solstice]

needs to be Tataru, not tataru

past that you can put whatever in the message, just the name has to be capitalized

[tidal yarrow]

god are you serious

ffs

..thanks

[open coral]

The game gets really touchy about case sensitivity for those quests. There's one in ShB where the keyword is lowercase, and another where it's a whole phrase where if you even mess up a single space or punctuation mark, it won't accept it.

[median locust]

"O loveliest of branches, please grant me your succor!"

[agile laurel]

besides you having to capitalise your spoken words it's generally just best to copy it word for word

i think i had to have 5 go-arounds on that

[tidal yarrow]

what was the nearest aetheryte to waking sands?

[open coral]

Horizon

Or take the ferry from Limsa Lominsa to Vesper Bay

[tidal yarrow]

ty

[median locust]

Limsa's ferry will be faster if you have good load times, otherwise Horizon is fastest

[tidal yarrow]

damn long load time for me sadly

even if I'm this game they are quick anyway

[opaque sentinel]

what's the best way to find groups for the multi-person Treasure Maps? is there a discord server that's popular?

[median locust]

Party Finder usually

If you make a party, make sure to put your rules in the description (Free for All or Owner Needs or whatever else you want)

[opaque sentinel]

Is Free for All standard, etiquette-wise?

[open coral]

Not really

[median locust]

I've seen both so I wouldn't say there's a standard

[open coral]

Usually when you're making a group, the assumption is that everyone will come into it with at least one map of their own, so either format is acceptable.

[median locust]

I like FFA better cause you always have a chance at something versus "oh no none of my maps were portals guess I'm screwed"

But it's preference

[opaque sentinel]

okay, great! thanks for the info 🙂

[forest laurel]

me and my FC just do FFAs, we all carry like 3-4 maps or so

never really did "owner needs" bc we mainly just do it to get some dosh, the materials are a nice bonus

[pine bluff]

hey guys ive completed HW and ive got over 200 hours play time, shouldn't I no longer be a sprout now?

[median locust]

Those are the requirements from when Stormblood was current

[pine bluff]

oh ok

so I have to beat stormblood?

[median locust]

Now you need to finish SB and have 7 days of playtime

yes

Patches included

[pine bluff]

got it

[open coral]

You can always manually deactivate the new adventurer status. I believe the console command is /nastatus

[pine bluff]

oh really

ehh its ok, I wanna feel like I earned it

[gritty oracle]

If 6.0 launches without me bearing 5.5, will I get my sprout back or not?

Beating*

[sleek pagoda]

how do you exactly sell a house or plot here? if that's possible

[whole wasp]

make the house part of a Free company. invite buyer, transfer gil and fc leader position. seller gets kicked from fc by buyer. buyer now has FC house

im sure there are other ways but i see this most commonly

[sleek pagoda]

that sounds a tad complicated lol

[whole wasp]

i also heard of seller and buyer picking a discrete time to release and buy but this has the potential to get sniped...

[sleek pagoda]

well yeah, at least on my server, all plots in shirogane are taken

so i wouldn't be surprised if someone tried to snipe it

[green grail]

manually relinquished plots still get the random lockout timer so that's not really a viable method anymore

[sleek pagoda]

what's the timer?

[green grail]

like a hidden 6h-48h or something like that countdown until a plot is available for purchase after being auto demolished/manually relinquished

[sleek pagoda]

I see

but if I make the house part of FC, only the FC people can get it right

after i demolish it

[green grail]

no, if you buy it using the FC method like smug said then it's just an FC house, not a personal house, and if you demolish it it's just a normal free plot with a random timer that anyone can then buy as a personal or fc plot

[agile laurel]

2 5.3 checks - am I right in thinking it was going to bring new game+ for job quests, and that I should hold onto nuts cause crystarium augmentation is being added to the vendor?

[median locust]

If you demolish you don't own the plot anymore and it's up for grabs. Basically, what you trade is the FC that has the house.

[sleek pagoda]

I see

well i offered my FC if someone wants to buy the house, I'll be moving servers at the end of the week

but from what it sounds i think it's just better to demolish it and have anybody grab it

[median locust]

5.3 will almost surely make Crystarium Upgrade items buyable with nuts yes. Not sure about New Game+ though

[oak veldt]

If I change my look via Fantasia, I have the option to save this look. Is there any way to delete this list? Mine has gotten confusing over time. Or can I just overwrite the list? Play on PS4 if that's important.

[median locust]

(Not the weapon upgrade though, that comes later)

[agile laurel]

Figures. noted

Do they have NG+ for job quests on the table at all?

[median locust]

Don't remember if they mentionned it, but they should add them eventually

but that's from last october so maybe

[pallid adder]

could someone explain this?

why most of my exp is grayed out?

[forest laurel]

that's your rested xp

[pallid adder]

oh ;o

[forest laurel]

you get 50% bonus xp

[pallid adder]

sweet thanks didnt know that

[forest laurel]

when you're in a sanctuary, as shown by the moon icon 🌙 , you'll get rested xp slowly

[pallid adder]

nice

[forest laurel]

the maximum you can get is 1.5 levels of xp

[median locust]

Bar fills up overtime while you're logged off at a sanctuary, if the bar is full and blue that means you have more than a level of rested exp

or more than enough to get to the next level

[forest laurel]

it fills up even when you're logged in in a sanctuary

[simple nymph]

is there a place to buy dol accessories lv 60?

[median locust]

No way to know

If I use a dye on a piece in glamour plate creation, is it only applied to that plate or is it universal?

[faint flare]

Only that plate

[daring turret]

New 24 man raid?

[faint flare]

If you dye the plate

Yes, next nier raid

Puppets bunker

[daring turret]

If im not mistaken, currently is 8 man right?

[faint flare]

No

There's 8man and 24man

Eden is 8man, nier is 24man

[little swift]

24man raids are alliance raids

[faint flare]

Odd patches always Bring 24mab

[median locust]

You can dye a piece in the glamour dresser while it's not in a plate, then it'll apply the dye to every place you use the piece on

[little swift]

There are 3 of those every expansion

[lofty pulsar]

oh ty

[little swift]

The 8man raids we get 12 of in the series as well as a set of trials

[daring turret]

Shit thats cool, though it was 8 man max, ill check all the info 😅

[little swift]

24 man is basically just 3 sets of 8man partys

[agile laurel]

yeah, to call 24man raids like WoW's standard raids is not dead right

[median locust]

Higher-end raids are all 8-man, 24-man has a more "casual" difficulty

[agile laurel]

it's just an 8 man raid but there happens to be 3 groups there

[median locust]

8-man have Normal and Savage mode, while 24-man only have one mode

[little swift]

As well as extreme trials

Which are 8man

[daring turret]

Got it! Sounds good enough, 3 of us just joined we were wondering that

[woven night]

where can i find how much exp each roulette give?

[strong sphinx]

do all levequest npcs offer the same leve quests no matter where i talk to them?

[faint flare]

They have different level ranges

[little swift]

different levequest npcs offer leves at different level ranges

and they do not offer the same things

[daring turret]

How active is the pvp playerbase in the game? Ive seen the wolves den and frontline quest, and frontline sounded awesome

[little swift]

where can i find how much exp each roulette give?
@woven night the exp given is scaled to your leve

and is different based on your roulette

[woven night]

ik but whats the percentage?

[little swift]

How active is the pvp playerbase in the game? Ive seen the wolves den and frontline quest, and frontline sounded awesome
@daring turret pvp isn't a main focus of this game. Frontlines tends to be more active during non-moogle tome event times (but even then its mostly just peak server hours where you'll be more likely to find a match). Rival Wings tends to be more active duringmoogle tome event times

feast ranked is likely a crapshoot unless its the start of a ranked season

@woven night this is what i found i am not sure the validity of this

[woven night]

im looking for the percentage of a lvl the diffrent roulettes give

should've done the glamour command tbh

[faint cloud]

So I am currently playing the free Steam trial and am at level 30, just got BLM. At this point I plan to subscribe and switch to the PS4 version (which i recently got free) soon so I can keep playing beyond level 35. I am on Adamantoise but have an FC I could join on Brynhilder. But would I be forfeiting an EXP boost to switch servers? Any advice on what to do/when?

[median locust]

If you started on a Preferred server, you can't transfer at all until 90 days after character creation

[little swift]

@woven night i am aware, and here is another unproven image. i'm not certain people have calculated the specific roulette percentages

that is at lv75 according to them

[median locust]

If you transfer (after 90 days) you'll most likely lose the Road to 70 buff, yeah

[woven night]

alright ty for the help

[faint cloud]

I am definitely over 90 days out. Is joining an FC worth it over the exp boost?

[little swift]

if you still have the road to 70 buff

its more worth than the 15% FC buff

since it applies to literally everything

[median locust]

For the social aspect, I'd say yeah. If you're not going to socialize, the exp buff from FC's isn't nearly as good

[shadow wasp]

When do alchemy leve quests unlock? I tried to speak the quest giver but he told me to step outside to gain some exp first

[little swift]

you go back to your starting city and you have to do the general leve unlock quest

[shadow wasp]

Ohh I see! Thank you 😄

[little swift]

and then after that a given area needs you to complete a levequest called "Leves of X" for you to unlock leves in that area

[shadow wasp]

ahhhh perfect!

Thank you! 😄

[real seal]

so, you need to first finish pagos weapon to unlock elemental armor, right? It doesn't have to be specific weapon, like rdm rapier unlocks only DoM armor?

[median locust]

Nope, any Pagos weapon is good

[real seal]

thought so, thanks

[pastel sparrow]

is elemental armour the endgame set for everyone?

[median locust]

It's only glamour now, so no

You can get gear just as good with Poetics at lv70

current level cap is 80

[pastel sparrow]

ye I started in allegory

although I don't know if there is a better set? like do people do raids for gear better than allegory?

[median locust]

From Savage, you'll get upgrade items to get Augmented Crystarium gear which is iLv500

It also drops coffers which give iLv500 Edenchoir gear

iLv505 for the weapon

[pastel sparrow]

is there a reason to pick Edenchoir over crystarium? or do people just wear either/or

[median locust]

Edenchoir is 10 item levels over Crystarium, but between Augmented Crystarium and Edenchoir, it depends

You mix and match with both sets to get the substats you need

[pastel sparrow]

ooh.. I see.. thank you ^^

[rare comet]

I got some help, but nothing managed to quite work out - final fantasy XIV closes upon login with the error 16a

I tried reinstallation, switching to directx, installing new intel drivers, restarting my computer, tried backups but the character backup gives the same error

gonna try reinstalling nvidia too

;-;

[median locust]

Like when you launch the game or when you click "Login"?

There's a difference between the game crashing and the launcher crashing

[rare comet]

login

[median locust]

oh, wrong login

have you tried creating another character and see if that works?

Preferably not one that starts in Limsa

[rare comet]

I'll give it a shot, sure

this one was on the free trial

[median locust]

cause if it crashes when you select your character, it's usually corrupted game files

[oblique bane]

how to unlock normal raid roulette? do i just basically unlock other raids and i end up getting it?

[median locust]

If you're able to login to a different city, then that's the problem

but you did say you already reinstalled so that would be weird

[rare comet]

fuck

so

tried one of my other characters

it worked

and yeah, I reinstalled but that character is apparently fucked

which sucks, given all stats are level 35

[little swift]

how to unlock normal raid roulette? do i just basically unlock other raids and i end up getting it?
@oblique bane you hvae to unlock 2 instances within a roulette to unlock it. Either this means getting 2 of Alexander/Omega or Eden or a mix of them

[rare comet]

:(

er, jobs available on the free trial

[median locust]

Doubt it'll be the character

[oblique bane]

kk, alexander is lvl 70 content right?

[rare comet]

I mean, a different character worked, so at this point idk

[real seal]

Alexander is lvl60

[median locust]

I'd try reinstalling on another hard drive if you can

[agile laurel]

does WHM enhanced asylum apply to all healing actions or only your own?

[rare comet]

aw crap

issue is, this is steam

reinstalling on a different hard drive would necesstate another steam library folder in that other hard drive

[median locust]

or... this COULD be your settings file being corrupted.

[rare comet]

hm

[median locust]

In Documents/My Games/Final Fantasy XIV, there should be a folder for each character

I'd try moving the folder for your character somewhere else (while the game isn't running) then trying to login

If it works, it was the settings and you'll have to redo your hotbars

[rare comet]

alright

...now I just need to figure out which folder is the character lmao

[median locust]

wish I could tell you exactly which one but I'm not on my FFXIV PC lol

[modern sorrel]

Do they give the same amount of scrips or does one give more than another?

well, it's loading

so still gotta see

alright, time to fix all my hotbars...for pve and pvp

regardless, ty again :O

[magic light]

confession but with a bonus if actually done like confession?...

[median locust]

Using it gives a buff to all nearby allies. Use it again to give them a heal. If they get hit by Helios/Aspected Helios before you use it again, the heal is stronger

[magic light]

so... confession but better?

[median locust]

So it's a way to get more value out of your aspected helios

[remote lintel]

!action confession

[zinc orbit]

Error!

Action not found, Kupo!

[remote lintel]

[faint flare]

Plenary

[agile laurel]

[faint flare]

Its a worse plenary

Since plenary procs on all heals in the duration

[agile laurel]

the card part is written fluff

[remote lintel]

that one is auto

horoscope is whenever

[median locust]

There's no cards in horoscope, it's only does what I said.

Using it gives a buff to all nearby allies. Use it again to give them a heal. If they get hit by Helios/Aspected Helios before you use it again, the heal is stronger.

[little swift]

plenary is better

the card part is flavour text

[remote lintel]

confession has worse pot

[magic light]

wat

[little swift]

it applies to ALL heals during the duration

[remote lintel]

ah

[magic light]

horoscope seems to be... at the very last of if I need to heal a group

[remote lintel]

yes?

horoscope is an aoe

[magic light]

eh, sure

[faint flare]

You can pre cast horoscope before bosses for a free heal

Within 30s

[remote lintel]

or you pop horoscope before a raid wide

[median locust]

It's good if you want more value out of the mana and the GCD you use to cast a Helios.

[remote lintel]

then heal

then can he again

heal*

[magic light]

so... what's the 10s part of horoscope

[faint flare]

Like with most of astros kit, need to plan ahead

10s is the duration if you dont use helios

[remote lintel]

that's the duration you have to cast Helios or ahelios

[little swift]

it will detonate on its own in 10s

[remote lintel]

it doesn't detonate

[faint flare]

Well expire

[median locust]

It doesn't detonate on its own

[remote lintel]

it just disappears

[little swift]

expire*

[remote lintel]

so like

[median locust]

Had it expire on me cause I forgot about it too often

[remote lintel]

you pop horoscope, it will then have 10s on it where you need to cast one of the heals

you cast the heal

it's now 30s for the free 400 potency heal

[magic light]

so... i start with a aoe gcd heal?

i'm too used to healing with just ogcd

[remote lintel]

you start with horoscope then either helios or ahelios

it's a set up move

[faint flare]

Like with all of asts kit, you need to think ahead

[magic light]

oh, so after i get whacked by something, i hit the button again and trigger another heal??

[remote lintel]

yes

assuming you used one Helios thing

[faint flare]

If you know you're doing a helios soon, hit horoscope prior to helios to buff horoscope then hit horoscope again to release the heal

Horoscope > helios > horoscope

[remote lintel]

you don't have to detonate the upgraded horoscope right away

you can use it as an ogcd heal when it's upgraded

for 30s

[loud wolf]

are there any act guide?

[rare comet]

is there any way to keybind multiple keys(e.g. mouse button 5 and 1 instead of crtl+1)?

[magic light]

next would be blm in lvl 80 dungeons, do i use scathe in pullings

[median locust]

Can only do that with modifier keys as far as I know

[rare comet]

damn

[remote lintel]

tbh I never use scathe

[median locust]

Scathe is useless, only use it when the boss is about to go away and there's nothing else you can cast

[magic light]

in dungeons

[median locust]

same thing

[remote lintel]

yes

[median locust]

Don't even use it for moving, it's worse than just walking because its mana cost might make you lose a Fire IV

[left cape]

what is DPS?

[faint flare]

Damage per second

Aka how much damage you're doing

[left cape]

but I see people mentioning DPS as a job or role

[faint flare]

Dps role is a damage dealer role

Aka the melee, ranged and casters

The non tanks/healers

[left cape]

but everyone does damage, still don't understand

except healer

[vagrant copper]

A DPS character normally does like 2x or 3x the damage the tank does

[faint flare]

The dps primary job is to do damage, nothing else

Non tanks and healers focus in doing as much damage per second

As physically possible

No

More if you win

[left cape]

healers do damage?

[remote lintel]

yes

[faint flare]

Yes

Everyone is expected do

A fair amount more

Healers dps until they're required to heal

Not the other way around

[left cape]

ok I get it tks dudes

[remote lintel]

the dps job is to kill the boss as fast as possible, the tank's job is to distract the boss so it doesnt attack the dps, the healers job is to heal the tank and keep the party alive

and they all help the dps do damage

that's how mmo roles work

[oblique flint]

I've seen people have rich presence on Discord for FFXIV. Anyone have resources for how to install that / which program to use?

[median locust]

It's one of the features from https://github.com/goatcorp/FFXIVQuickLauncher

[faint flare]

I think win/lost only...haven't done much frontlines only rival wings

[halcyon rune]

If you catch a high wave of players, pvp is pretty good for levelling. You get 5%-10% per match. And they are shorter than trials.

[faint flare]

Que for it in the pvp menu in the duty finder

Right at the bottom

hidden gorge

[mossy tartan]

Do S-ranks show up in the map?

[faint flare]

No, you do see them from further away though

[mossy tartan]

okay, thank you

[little swift]

when you load into the map you'll also see the chat message " You sense the presence of a powerful mark"

[remote lintel]

we have charts for dps damage numbers during raids but do we have something for healers?

[left cape]

is it true that every world has a different main quest storyline?

[remote lintel]

no

only the starting cities have different msq

up to 15

[little swift]

there is an HPS category in FFLogs

[left cape]

Level 15 you mean

[remote lintel]

yeah level 15

[wintry chasm]

And starting city is based off of starting class and not world

[remote lintel]

what's the general range for healers during raids?

[little swift]

something between 15-30 yalms?

the circle aoes have an 8 yalm radius from what i see

[remote lintel]

lol I didn't mean physical range

like

the numbers

[stark sleet]

For damage, or healing?

[remote lintel]

healing

[stark sleet]

For healing, it's tough to say because it's so different on the fight, and it depends a lot on how well your teammates play. Higher numbers don't always mean you're a better healer, it usually means your team messed up more and needed extra healing, or didn't mitigate boss attacks as much

[little swift]

potency numbers? or like HPS

HPS factors in overheal % as well

[remote lintel]

both?

[tulip plover]

Uh so i im lvl 48 and thr story quest is 49 how do i get a quick level i already did my roullete :x

[remote lintel]

could do your highest lvl dungeon

[little swift]

do your highest level leveling dungeon @tulip plover this would be Aurum Vale

[median locust]

Not really sure what you want @remote lintel there are HPS rankings but like... you just need to heal as much as possible to get a good percentile on those so it doesn't mean anything

[tulip plover]

Is that the stone vigil or?

[median locust]

Normally you want to heal as little as possible so you can DPS as much as possible

[little swift]

^

[median locust]

Here are the raid DPS numbers for healers on E5S though

[remote lintel]

i see

wow ast does more

[median locust]

But as you can see from parses, is least played

[little swift]

this is dps not hps

[median locust]

Because it's harder

[remote lintel]

yeah i know

our raid leader said i got 14-15k sustained healing(?) i was just wondering what the general range was i guess

[tulip plover]

What are tomestone of law

[remote lintel]

those are the event currency

[tulip plover]

Are they useful?

[median locust]

There are moogle vendors in each city that will take them

You can buy stuff like mounts from them

[vagrant copper]

More info: https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/special/mogmog-collection/202005/

[median locust]

^

[tulip plover]

And will garuda give good exp?

[median locust]

No

[remote lintel]

no

trials don't give good exp

[tulip plover]

So i have to do stone vigil

[little swift]

do aurum vale

[median locust]

If you're lv48, you need to do Aurum Vale, not Stone Vigil.

[tulip plover]

Where the hell is that 😩

[wintry chasm]

Optional dungeon

[little swift]

unlcoked by

[wintry chasm]

In... Vesper's Bay

[remote lintel]

"going for gold"

[wintry chasm]

Yeah

There is another way to unlock it but it's more of a pain

[twilit arch]

i mean, the other way of unlocking is ranking up your grand company

since aurum vale is required for the 2nd LT promotion

[tulip plover]

k heading there now

[vagrant copper]

Have fun with that one

[tulip plover]

😐

[wintry chasm]

Worth mentioning at this point that doing level 50/60/70 dungeons don't give a lot of XP since they were old level caps and it doesn't give a lot so you don't get disgustingly over leveled so if you need to level up and that is your highest dungeon just do the the highest level dungeon that isn't level X0

[median locust]

@remote lintel There is another metric for healers and it's combined DPS. This is a thing because you can technically heal the entire raid solo, then let your cohealer spam Glare the entire time for a good parse. This puts both healers' damage together for their parse so both healers have to play as "optimally" as possible.

Could look at that if you're wondering if you're underperforming or healing too much/too little

[tulip plover]

So can i do this till im 50?

[median locust]

Here's what it looks like on E5S

[remote lintel]

oh cool

ty

[twilit arch]

ya

generally if you're leveling alt jobs you'll want to either save your roulettes for 50-51/60-61/70-71 humps

or do the 47/59/69 dungeon

[tulip plover]

Ok

Queinv up for it wish me luck😩

[remote lintel]

aurum vale is easy

[median locust]

First room can be annoying if you don't know how to handle it, and the 2nd boss is, if I remember correctly, the first boss with attacks that don't have yellow AoE markers. People definitely make it seem harder than it actually is though. (this is more #general-discussion though so I'll shut up)

[mental garnet]

is there a big difference between the three SB beast tribes? i need to pick one of them to start with since i'll have 3 extra daily allowances today

[viscid wraith]

I have a question are all quest gonna restrict your level or at some point they just let u stay where u at. I love my massive explosions and the level lowering stops my explosions

[remote lintel]

solo instances and dungeons sync you

[median locust]

Kojin and Ananta are for battle classes. Namazu are for Crafters and gatherers.

Their rewards are also different of course

[whole wasp]

Ananta has 1 extra mount than all other beast tribes. Thats about it.

Oh kojin has the pillow minion.

[remote lintel]

pillow minion

[median locust]

Pillow needs all three maxed out but yeah

[mental garnet]

@median locust gotcha, thank you! i'll start on namazu for doh/dol then because before long i'll get to 80 on all of them with daily turnins and if i can find a good guide for and start ishgard restoration

[median locust]

Namazu are good exp for 61-70 crafters, not amazing but it's nice

[mental garnet]

yep, i like what i've been getting with moogle dailies

[whole wasp]

For 61-70 gatherer too.

[mental garnet]

so i assume it'll be on par for namazu, just 10 levels higher

[whole wasp]

Only beast tribe that supports both. Well other than ixatl weirdness.

[mental garnet]

my gatherers are already >70 thanks to starting turnins with them earlier

i was surprised how fast turnins are for levels

[median locust]

Zephyrous Zabuton

It is well documented that Hingans shun chairs, preferring instead to sit upon the floor. What is less known, however, is that when a speaker utters something deemed clever, she is rewarded with cushions that she may sit in a position elevated above her peers.

cute purple pillow with a design on it

[remote lintel]

oh it's stationary

boo

[median locust]

Means you can sit on it

and it squishes down when you walk/sit over it

It's nice for when you don't feel like sitting on concrete for once

[little swift]

its literally just a portable pillow you can summon wherever

its great

[tulip plover]

Pfffttt this dungeons easy only wiped out 7 times

[remote lintel]

did you eat the fruit

[tulip plover]

Wah?

[remote lintel]

yep

that's why

[twilit arch]

on the first and third boss, there are fruits that spawn around the room

you use them to cleanse the debuff

[remote lintel]

when you get 3 stacks of the debuff you eat the fruit

[median locust]

First and third*, second is Coincounter the cyclops

[twilit arch]

generally eat after you have 3 stacks on the first boss, 2 on the third

[left cape]

FFXIV has like a stash/safe
in what kind of situation would I lose my gil

a brief answer is OK

[remote lintel]

you wouldn't just lose gil

[wintry chasm]

^

[remote lintel]

and you can store it with retainers

along with items

[wintry chasm]

You just don't unless you spend it

[tulip plover]

We abandoned 😫

[left cape]

like it's for management? like keeping stuff clean in the interface to place the gil in the stash?

[wintry chasm]

Also there is a Gil cap on your person which is like...999 million?

[remote lintel]

I mean gil doesn't really clutter your interface?

[median locust]

Some like to keep most of their gil stashed so they don't spend all their money on a whim

[left cape]

yeah it doesn't

[median locust]

And they have time to rethink their purchase while grabbing it from a retainer

[left cape]

ah OK I get it

[remote lintel]

if you have items you don't need but want to keep you can store them in retainers

[tulip plover]

Dis dungeon sucks

I like it
