Also obviously anything at endgame is going to look complicated
You have 80 levels to get used to your skills
It's a bit unfair looking at it now and going "it looks so haaard"
wild terrace
the sprout not the flower
blazing gull
I played discipline and holy priest in WoW so i immediately looked at what i would be doing endgame force of habit
remote lintel
you'll get used to it
open coral
There are varying levels of "complex" when it comes to endgame too. You get a lot of actions, but practically speaking you're not going to be using all of them all of the time.
Unlike WoW, FFXIV boss fights are very strictly choreographed dances.
And they're tuned for 8-man parties
wintry chasm
Also unlike WoW healers don't just spam heals

Healers do DPS and just heal as necessary
gritty oracle
is it true that syncing duties guarantees BLU spell drops?
open coral
I will say, however, that if you played Disc and Holy priest in WoW, you might find Astrologian right up your alley.
twilit arch
yes, vie
gritty oracle
huh
wild terrace
i cant do sht if people dont know the mechanics i just sit and heal if there is noone to heal i do buffs
blazing gull
Should i switch to Astro then?
wild terrace
ugh im having a nightmare with astro
wintry chasm
I have just been told that WoW healers DPS too, I apologise
open coral
If you're into Heavensward content, you should absolutely try it out. Otherwise you won't have access to it yet.
whole wasp
You dont have to. You can always play all 3 healers.
Astro has the advantage of starting at level 30 when you unlock it tho.
wintry chasm
Also can't swap to astro till you get to the first expansion story Mally
open coral
WHM is basically like Holy priest in WoW, in terms of being an AoE-focused, primary healer.
blazing gull
I have 3 chars right now trying out different jobs and leveling with other new friends so im not that far on any single char yet
wintry chasm
You realise you can be every job on one character right?
open coral
AST can select either a regen-oriented stance or a shield-oriented one as the situation demands.
blazing gull
I realised that a little late
wintry chasm
Well we can see that xD
open coral
😄
blazing gull
Well two of my chars on Diabolos and 1 on Goblin
wild terrace
pick the one you like from the start , move to the rest when you are bored
blazing gull
but all my friends are now on diabolos so i dont know what do pick
remote lintel
then abandon the one on goblin
open coral
To be fair, I have one character on each of the NA datacenters, as well as one each on JP and EU just for fun.
blazing gull
can i use them for storage or multi char sharing exploits?
remote lintel
nope
open coral
Not really.
remote lintel
they cant interact
blazing gull
heck
remote lintel
at all
wintry chasm
Well
If you get them in the same FC yes
But you kinda need to do that realistically?
remote lintel
yeah then you would need use of the chest
blazing gull
im the leader of my FC rn so i was thinking i could use them for that
wintry chasm
Right
remote lintel
the one on goblin can't do that tho
open coral
You can put your Diabolos characters in the same FC
But the Goblin one you'd need to server transfer
blazing gull
i can move my goblin char to dio right?
remote lintel
for 18 usd yes
blazing gull
is there any benefit?
remote lintel
no?
open coral
Not particularly
wintry chasm
MAYBE if they shuffle servers again for next expansion will get free transfers again and you could do it for free
open coral
In my personal opinion, if you're going to have multiple characters, it's more beneficial to have them on different datacenters.

i guess i thought i could use them for storage or easy transferring or dailies like guild wars

blazing gull
i might be trying too hard to min max in this game too early since ive played a lot of mmos >_<
little swift
Its fine to worry about that later
agile laurel
yeah, imho it's not worth overthinking it
remote lintel
min maxing isn't really a big deal
little swift
And even then its not super necessary
remote lintel
it's not a hardcore mmo
agile laurel
that too
in terms of bleeding edge endgame content, games like WoW have somewhat more
blazing gull
im really enjoying early game stuff more than any mmo ive played but i feel a lot of pressure as my FC leader to learn and help out the rest of my friends
agile laurel
just stay one lesson ahead of the rest of them. 
remote lintel

whole wasp
Ah. Its a decade old game. You can alway ask us as well 
little swift
We have lots of resources too if you want to sink your teeth into it
remote lintel
you can ask us questions here and then tell them the info like you knew it all along 
lunar gale
as a FC leader you should focus on recruiting people who have the knowledge you don't while you're learning 🙂
then you'll have less pressure
blazing gull
our FC is only 5 of us who just started but im typically shot caller and i feel really awkward inviting random people to it
agile laurel
well if people you invite don't like the vibe, they can just turn around and leave
nobody loses anything
True
little swift
No need to invite people if that's not what you're after
remote lintel
FCs aren't necessarily for raiding and such, some FCs are casual or just to hang out with people
agile laurel
Don't be like that tank I saw once treating the entire party like bots (and not using tank stance)

idk, sometimes i feel like bots (trusts) are better than actual humans...
remote lintel
if you just want your FC to be a fun social place then you can do that
it doesn't have to be about being the best at the game
agile laurel
(we were, but my mans used tank LB on pull, ignored chat and never had stance on)
blazing gull
I was looking to really get serious in this game and have my FC become something really strong in the future
little swift
Fc strength doesn't really do much in this game though
That's not the purpose of them here
remote lintel
that too
little swift
There aren't any fc content
lavish breach
Anyone wanna run roulettes with me? (zalera)
Not sure if this is the right channel for this :c
little swift
You sort of have to make content for your fc
agile laurel
basically the only reward to having a popular FC is i guess being able to afk in limsa and photosynthesise clout
blazing gull
I think i just have to beat the old mmo me out
little swift
@lavish breach #recruitment-crystal or #retired-na-datacenters
agile laurel
i had to do that too
mostly just for the realisation that 'i am a bard. i will not out dps the black mage'
lunar gale
Hey I'm also a bard 😄
blazing gull
my friend is playing bard and i was trying to help him with rotations like buff dot dot dot dot buff heavy spam
but i guess he is only playing bard for the music lol
agile laurel
🤷♂️
lunar gale
my bard max crit start-> whatever song isnt on cooldown -> DoT spam -> Rain of Death spam -> Any skills until crit procs the RoD cooldown -> random other skills
and then play a trumpet
pure hamlet
not sure if is this the right place to ask but, are there discord servers that's similar to FFXIV housing market but caters towards the japanese servers?
agile laurel
brd rotation on trash kinda just depends what you didn't use before
blazing gull
i think i get my mentality from monster hunter more than any of the mmos i used to play
agile laurel
+6 targets = MB AP WM, under 6 = MB WM AP, under 3 = WM MB AP
lunar gale
bard rotation on trash -> is there 2+ mobs? -> dots->spam quick knock
agile laurel
in MB just dot everything, farm for soul voice, spam QN if enemies won't live out a dot
in not-MB, double dot everything if the pull's like 6 mobs, dot a couple for shadowbite/SV gauge and spam QN if more
and if you're walking just have a song up for gauge and work on double dotting
blazing gull
Lvl 34 Conjurer Goblin
Lvl 25 Archer Diabolos
Lvl 19 Thaum Diabolos
Which 2 do i abandon?
agile laurel
seeing as you can level any job on any character
i'd say whichever has more msq progress
bronze tundra
Where is the best place to get materials for carpentry? Is it all through marketboard?
agile laurel
botanist, so yes
blazing gull
the lvl 19 ive been playing like right beside a friend of mine and only when he is on
agile laurel
crp gets its mats from kinda a few, but mainly botanist
either buy on MB or level btn too
bronze tundra
I really want the Albino sheep mount but i don't know what is the easiest grind fo rit
blazing gull
im afraid if i stop playing that char with him he will lose interest in the game but i dont want all of those hours to go to waste
agile laurel
get to 80, get facet gear, get mats for like 130 beds, get the rotation to make beds, macro that, seeya in 4 hours
blazing gull
my lvl 25 has the mos msq progress
agile laurel
in theory
bronze tundra
So just grind Carpentry to level 80?
I just hit 20 for ishgard restoartration
sp?
lol
agile laurel
tbqh. you could probably do it from 70 but i'd say attempting to power grind scrips at any lower is a bad investment
It is a good way to level, but if you're going for the sheep then you probably just want to sit and power grind one thing for scrips and you probably don't want to do that at level 20
bronze tundra
So just focus on leveling my crafting first then grind out higher level stuff
remote lintel
@blazing gull why don't you just play the archer with him
bronze tundra
^this
agile laurel
source: me, i leveled crp to 80 kinda accidentally via restoration, decided i wanted the pegasus, bought materials to make 97 beds, made 97 beds over 2 hours
blazing gull
if i play the archer with him ill out level the other friend im playing with at lvl 25 >_<
blazing gull
i just dont want either of them to get lost
remote lintel
why would they
blazing gull
mmos are daunting for people who dont play them i feel
blazing gull
my lower level friend is a WoW vet so i dont want him to lose interest and my other friend hasnt played any mmos
remote lintel
this mmo is designed for people who have never played mmos

you would be there to help them

do you recommend playing by myself as well then?
remote lintel
if you want to yes
storm sequoia
I was wondering smth, do any of you guys know about a questing companion on FFXIV? Like if you've played Classic WoW, there are those widgets that make you take an optimized "speedrun" route, taking the MQS + side quests that are completed on the same route all well optimized
Someone must have done something like that right?
Or like "Joana's" hunter speedruns on WoW C
Does anyone knows about smth like this?
twilit arch
no, because its not really necessary
lavish breach
just dont play dps lol everyday i deal with 30+ minute queues
blazing gull
i think ill just not progress MSQ and explore do side quests and stuff by myself
lavish breach
also find it quite hard to find people to play with
twilit arch
main scenario quest is for one, mandatory and incredibly linear. and two, generally side quests that you want to do are 
(Though you can skip "leves of x" and "so you want to be x")
blazing gull
thanks for the advice guys ill definitely be in here frequently to ask more questions lol
twilit arch
i say "not necessary" because you're more or less shoehorned into one route
storm sequoia
Yes I get that, as a normal playthrough, but I mean it as a sport almost
twilit arch
its not like wow, where you have the option of choice with which zones you can do
storm sequoia
Well but still, you could have a widget to follow the MQS and the blue ones on a perfectly optimized way
That's true indeed
strange coral
The game basically already has that. MSQ tracker, and suggested side quests below it (usually job quests).
little swift
That's the thing though, it wouldn't optimize the routr for you since class/job quests for your specific job are mandatory and would take you away from the msq locations if you do them as they come up
daring turret
How do you do group poses?
storm sequoia
That's still not optimized Aril ^^
And @little swift I understand that, but take WoW C for example, there's an optimized route for each start, that's the thing
little swift
This isn't wow. That's the point in trying to make.
You could argue you save time starting as an arcanist in limsa because it has the shortest city questline
And leveling a dps/healer together would further optimize that
But in reality that optimization is irrelevant in this game
It serves no benefit here
feral ridge
I currently only own ARR. If I buy shadowbringers for 39.99, do I get heavensward and stormblood too? Or do I have to buy the 59.99 pack?
strange coral
Yes, Shadowbringers includes the past expansions.
feral ridge
What about future expansion?
strange coral
The $60 pack is basically just ARR+ShB. And the ShB includes the expansions
Future will have to be bought on its own
So next expansion will most likely include HW, SB, and ShB
feral ridge
Well honestly I almost quit the game because of the 59.99 price. 39 is much better.

Depends on which. For Zodiac or Anima, it’s the same as any other fate. Eureka however might be tricky. Unsure how populated those zones are and all in Eureka are boss fates, making them rather difficult to solo.

To answer your question you can't move things forward or backward like that

return your sen gauge to default position and redrag it

Fester is much stronger when both Bio and Miasma are applied btw. Definitely worth using.

even with it simplified it keeps going backwards
Tried defaulting and it still the same way
Looks like a priority problem
the kenki gauge stands in front of every other element
little swift
seems like it, since it seems to work otherwise for other people
wide forum
Only the system keeps in front of it
twilit arch
hmm unless they changed something with the HUD system, clicking on it should prioritize it to the forefront
little swift
maybe if you turn the gauge off and on it might reprioritize it?

I checked with mine and it doesn't shift either
But I can't think of any reason why it doesn't for me other than maybe a ps4 thing which is still kind iffy

the current best are crafted gathering accessories?
twilit arch
dyeing the plate itself only dyes it that colour for that plate. If you dye it before you put it in or thru the dresser itself, the item will take on that dye so that whenever you use it on any plate it will be that colour
currently no there are no white scrip accessories. Crafted dwarven/lignum accessories are the BiS

do the more recent weekly custom delivery npcs give more scrips, or is it more dependent on the heart level?

its slightly dependent on heart level, but in general the most recent delivery npc is going to give the most

Its the mentor crown

But you need 1500 commends

Wtf you have to do all dat?

yep
can't really be a mentor

No

You need to do ifirit, titan and garuda hard for the story anyway

@molten spruce if you don’t have a house in the lavender beds, look for the quest “Where the Heart is” in Central Shroud.
After you complete that quest you can easily access the lavender beds through the new Gridania Aetheryte

Hi! I’m farming blade of golden antiquity, I finished Eden refulgence twice but didn’t see the blade in the treasure chests... is the appearance random? Should I keep trying? Or Am I doing the wrong fight?
slate arrow
@next wind are they in the same server as you are
obsidian patio
@next wind if they’re on a different world you need to use world visit to go to their world

@tulip plover they're a seperate listing under trials

They also need to be online and maybe not in a duty instance
leaden ginkgo
When do you use limit break in a boss fight ?
agile laurel
depends
leaden ginkgo
Ravana for example
agile laurel
if it's not in a trial, and healers aren't like to need it, whenever it hits 3 and melee dps
if it's not gonna hit 3, whenever it hits 2
if it's in a dungeon, melee dps whenever it hits 1
tank LB is niche, healer LB is useless beside LB3
static yacht
@lavish vortex you get one per week
and it goes into your inventory automatically
Eden's gate sepulchre is not weekly locked
but eden's verse refulgence IS
next wind
@slate arrow they used my friend code so should be on the same server
but not showing up when searching

@next wind rrcuitment codes don't do that

They're still free to play on whatever server they wish

how do i change data centers?
i have a friend that wants to change to my data center and world but we dont know hoy to

@molten spruce you'll need to make a new character for that
You swap datacenters on the main menu

Should I activate Starter first for finish ARR or do both for Shadowbringers?

@quaint forge if you want to start off as an expansion race you should also register shadowbringers before you make a character

otherwise you can wait until you hit level 50

The other 2 races will immediately unlock once I activate Shadowbringers?

Ah yeah right I was just referring to that type of buff in general

That’ll also unlock: Heavensward and Stormblood, yes?

Yes

Kk thanks!
halcyon rune
I created a PS4 account and got Starter Edition for Free a while ago bc I heard that linking my MogS account to it would give me the free 30 days of sub from the PS4 version of the game (already have it on PC). I could not do it bc I needed a PS4 to get the game key (DUH), so I just forgot about it.
...now I remember I did that and... am I getting charged a sub anywhere on that PS4 account? It ain't linked to anything but it still has my email.
slate arrow
no
quaint forge
My Steam is stuck at preparing files
Should I uninstall FFXIV trial (PC) then “reinstall” as Steam?
halcyon rune
It does but it's so minuscule it's unnoticeable if the content is super low.
Ah good, I didn't want a surprise $100+ fee from nowhere.
@quaint forge PC and "Steam" are technically different versions of the game. Weird, I know. People try to avoid Steam as it just adds extra steps but sometimes you have no other options.
I can't remember if it would let you use the same account. Free trials work a bit weird. It should let you use it for all intents and purposes.
Also If you purchase the base game on one platform, you must purchase the expansions on the same, otherwise they won't count.
remote lintel
you could try copying the files from the trial into the steam folder @quaint forge
molten spruce
how do i become a dark knight? what class do i need to pick?
slate arrow
none
just any of them
get it to level 50
finish the 2.x MSQ and get to ishgard
then you can pick up dark knight
molten spruce
and can i be a black mage if i start as a marauder?
slate arrow
well, you'll have to level thamaturge to level 30 but yes
molten spruce
and how do i pick up thaumature?
halcyon rune
Just go to the guild for each class and accept the quest to become one.
In Ul'Dah. At lv 15 the game will grant you access to all 3 main cities.
slate arrow
For Black Magd, you'll need to go to Ul'dah and go pick up the in the Thaumaturge's guild, and the do all the class quests up to level 30
and important skills will be behind your class and job quests so please do them
strong sphinx
So I heard that there will be a catch up mechanic to gear up as soon as 5.3 hits, how exactly does that work?
slate arrow
More places to get gear from
In this case, you can augment crafted gear with a slightly convoluted upgrade system
and get 490 gear from the NiER raid
halcyon rune
Limsa: Marauder (Warrior) , Arcanist (Summoner/Scholar)
Uldah: Gladiator (Paladin), Thaumaturge (Black Mage), Pugilist (Monk)
Gridania: Conjurer (White Mage), Lancer (Dragoon), Archer (Bard)
the rest are expansion classes unlocked from lv50 onwards.
slate arrow
as well as augment Crystarium gear with tokens you can buy with Sacks of Nuts and NiER coins
strong sphinx
Ohhh okay! I cant wait for that patch to hit then
leaden ginkgo
Is limit break per individual or for all party ? Like does every player have their own LB
slate arrow
Per party
The only place where LB is not shared is in PvP where it's replaced by a per player Adrenaline bar
halcyon rune
The gauge is shared.
leaden ginkgo
Thanks :3
halcyon rune
And its effect varies from role to role.
leaden ginkgo
Like who should typically use LB in a full party ?
halcyon rune
Tank: partywide damage reduction
Healer: party heal (a party Raise at lv3)
Melee: single-target damage
Ranged: Line aoe
Caster: circle aoe
Usually melee for finishing off bosses.
halcyon rune
Healers use lb3 as a "oh sh*t everyone's dead" move
Some extreme and savage fights require Tank LB to survive a boss mechanic.
Ranged and caster LBs can be used on dungeons for big pulls.
twilit arch
ranged/caster lb is good for trash pulls
little swift
i would say in dungeons, there's more value to a caster/ranged lb on a big trash pull
melees tend to lb too late and its a bit of a waste

If my friend was already married in the past (the most expensive marriage/has all the marriage items+mount), and we wanted to get married so I can get the mount/items, would they need to purchase the biggest marriage pack, or can I just purchase it for myself and they do the free version

@steel anvil nope
@dense pier maybe? I’m not too familiar with the cooldowns of the chocobo moves so I don’t know if those skills are constantly used or if there’s a small cooldown to them to where having both would help
slate arrow
It's mostly RNG if they use those moves
all I know is that if you don't want them using specific moves you should set their stance to attacker, healer, or tank
speaking of which, don't ever use tank stance, it sucks.

yeah I know
My PLD just hit 21 in Eureka, should I still keep trying to level her or should I level my 61 RDM to 70 and start leveling her in Eureka?

@rough jolt the botanist/miner mini game near the lords of verminion/chocobo racing are good for mgp if you're good at those. chocobo racing, though it requires a bit of time investment

Flare (Lvl 50 job skill) using up all MP even when you are full (ignoring Umbral hearts buff) is probably where people draw similarity between BLM and Megumin

Other than whatever few options character creation gives you

The least useful skill by comparison would be the dash because there's no mechanic that is designed around it

If you buy MSQ skip you don’t get free Fantasia at 50 either

All MSQ-exclusive items are either in the calamity salvager or mailed to you IIRC

So in short yeah buying MSQ skip without level skip is shouting yourself in the foot because you’re missing out on all that exp

gcd healing should not be a spamming option
you'll run out of manning trying to heal unnecessarily
that said, if you're low level, cure ii would be the heal you would use more as soon as its available
cure i is less potency per GCD
if you're higher level up and have more tools you would use your ogcds like tetragrammaton/benediction > lily heals
cure 1/2 casts are something you should try to minimize usage of later
medica ii/medica/cure iii all still have their uses
