#

so if you die repeatedly and try to blame the healer they can call you out

mossy tartan
#

got a tell from a player saying “Square Enix should not allow this update at a sensitive time, please vote against it before they ruin the game on the forums” what’s happening?

remote lintel
#

a scam

mossy tartan
#

ah

vagrant copper
#

Did they have a link to the forums?

mossy tartan
#

yep

vagrant copper
#

Scam

jade quartz
#

Report them for suspicious activity

little swift
#

Don't open the link

jade quartz
#

Scam been going around for about a month

little swift
#

Don't log im

mossy tartan
#

yep, I won’t

#

was just scared for a bit if something is happening to the game as I just started

remote lintel
#

nah

#

and if it were it wouldn't be spread around by mysterious pms with dodgy links

mossy tartan
#

true

jade quartz
#

Roulettes daily are the best leveling method at all levels

#

Leveling, Alliance, Main Scenario and Trials are the good exp roulettes

#

And PvP if you can get the queue to pop fast

#

But only once a day for each roulette of course.

#

After that you go to dungeon spam or PotD

remote lintel
#

trials
good exp

#

🤔

jade quartz
#

For the time taken yeah

brittle coral
#

Once you run out of Roulettes, you also have PotD and Squadrons. Or just Duty Finder if Healer/Tank.

gloomy mortar
#

Can you install the game on 2 computers and play your character on either ones? Spending the holidays at relatives and want to play some

remote lintel
#

yes

little swift
#

Yes

remote lintel
#

back up your ui and character settings

little swift
#

Just can't be logged into both

#

At the same time

gloomy mortar
#

Ah ok, thought they might consider it password sharing like Netflix, who’s trying to stop it

twilit arch
#

you'll probably have to reset your password at the new location

#

unless you have 2fa

gloomy mortar
#

How do you do 2fa? Is it easy?

twilit arch
#

you can either order a physical token or download the security app for your phone

Thanks ✌️

leaden ginkgo
#

what are some good NA servers with friendly people 🙂

gloomy ice
#

That's a tough question to answer directly. Not that any of them are bad per se. Rather, you can find good people in any of the three. So instead I can offer the following suggestion. Aether data center is generally more focused on end game raiding. Crystal data center has a couple roleplay focused servers and is seen as the RP hub, more or less. Primal data center is somewhere in between, having a fairly even split of both.

white ether
#

How do I use my limit break in dungeons

gloomy ice
#

As for specific servers within each data center, that I can't offer much insight on. Servers can matchmake/group up with any other server within their data center however. They can also travel between themselves as well. Data center has more bearing on your player pool than your home server.

brittle coral
#

@white ether There’s an action you can put on your bar to use it.

white ether
#

What’s the acton called

brittle coral
#

Limit Break

white ether
#

Where can I find the command

gloomy ice
#

@white ether In your Actions and Traits window, under the General section, you'll find the Limit Break skill. Assign that to a bar to access it more easily. When running dungeons/trials you hit the LB skill once your LB gauge is full to activate it. The LB bar is shared among the whole party however so make sure you're in the right party role to use it.

white ether
#

I’m on pc

gloomy ice
#

Oh in this instance, I'm saying LB as shorthand for Limit Break, not Left Bumper. 😅

little swift
#

Actions window is p on keyboard by default

white ether
#

Thanks

simple shore
#

All of these windows can be accessed from this section of buttons which you should see somewhere on your UI, if you dont know where something is in the future

#

and on PC, it will show the current keybind to go straight to that window

okay ty

dry ocean
#

is A10 allowable for Anima Density farming?

green grail
#

it gives density but it has more mechanics and more hp than a9s so there's kinda no benefit

dry ocean
#

well I saw some peps of PF farming glams @10 so why not join

#

anything heavensward related is ok right

pearl wharf
#

one thing has baffled me on the scale of ishgard

#

like im looking at this and thinking "where the hell is the firmament"

slate arrow
#

it's on the backside

gloomy mortar
#

Will there be another expansion patches or is this it?

slate crow
#

2 questions

  1. How many Hildibrand questlines are there? I’m currently on the second one, which takes place in Costa Del Sol.

  2. Is the quest Treasures and Tribulations in Wineport worth doing? It’s a blue ring quest, but want to be sure.

obsidian patio
#

There's no indication of Yoshi-P wanting to end FFXIV.

proud willow
#

the next expansion will be sometime next year, and we will have at least 3 large content patches between then and now

pearl wharf
#

@slate crow a lot of them in ARR

gloomy mortar
#

So how long can I let my subscription lapse before they delete my character?

proud willow
#

Treasure and Tribulations is a short quest to unlock the ability to obtain and open Treasure Maps

pearl wharf
#

and i think a total of 3-4 in each of heavensward and stormblood

obsidian patio
#

ARR Hildy is 21 quests

proud willow
#

Unless you delete your character, it never goes away

#

You can come back 5 years from now and it'll still be there

obsidian patio
#

HW Hildy is 8 and SB hildy is 9, but they are much more condensed compared to ARR hildy

pearl wharf
#

ah right

gloomy mortar
#

What about if I buy a room at a FC? Will it still be there?

slate crow
#

All I know is I just beat ||mandragoras who are apparently stealing vegetables or something||

obsidian patio
#

Depends on if the FC house is still there.

gloomy ice
#

If the FC still exists and you’re still in it when you return yeah it should be.

gloomy mortar
#

The FC owner can’t delete it?

long osprey
#

How fun is tanking in this game? I am thinking of trying out warrior but not sure is it engaging as NIN or SAM ?

rough anchor
#

can the anima luminous crystals drop anytime or only when you have an anima quest active?

warped nest
#

Quest

gritty oracle
#

But you can get multiple crystals while the quest is active. I did it with a friend and by the time they got their fire crystal, I had five.

rough anchor
#

well unfortunaltyely i long since finished my previous anima

is there a samurai guide link?

queen cove
#

kind of weird question but how do I make it cycle through my idle animation when Im idle?

#

i see people do it but never actually figured it out myself

slate arrow
#

character settings

tidal yarrow
#

what is south shroud?

queen cove
#

I found it earlier, but there was no "Cycle through.." setting

#

Maybe Im missing something?

slate arrow
#

You can only cycle through the poses in order

fervent silo
#

how come it takes so long to find a trial as a dps? there are 15 slots for dps and only 4 slots each for tank and healer but when i search as healer the queue is instant

slate arrow
#

trial?

#

you mean alliance raid right

fervent silo
#

yeah my bad

slate arrow
#

in this case the DPS queue is just lopsided

#

Tank queues are better since Gunbreaker is out

#

but it's just the nature of healing

#

not many people want to be a healer

fervent silo
#

but why does it take so long to find as dps when there are more than double the slots to fill as tank and healer combined?

warped nest
#

4 tanks, 3 healer, 10 dps

slate arrow
#

are you queueing for level 60 or 70 content

warped nest
#

1 tank slot, 1 healer slot, 2 Dps slot

slate arrow
#

or 80

warped nest
#

This is before accounting for how many players don't play tank/healer

fervent silo
#

4 tanks 4 healer 15 dps

slate arrow
#

also it's like 3 am in California

#

we're entering the quiet hours for most of the servers

warped nest
#

Is that what you need for your duty

#

What duty needed 4 healer?

twilit arch
#

they're queueing for alliance raids

slate arrow
#

3 tanks, 6 healers, and 15 dps

fervent silo
#

sorry 3 tanks 6 healers 15 dps

twilit arch
#

which alliance r aid are you trying to queue for

warped nest
#

It is crap hour, plus not everyone unlocks these alliance raids, unfortunately

slate arrow
#

Anyways there's not much you can do besides wait

obsidian patio
#

yeah depending on your timezone it's either the dead of night or very early morning for NA

fervent silo
#

copied factory

twilit arch
#

its early morning so not many people are queueing

slate arrow
#

oh yeah of course copied factory is gonna be dead at this hour

twilit arch
#

and not many people are gonna need copied factory either

slate arrow
#

Most people spend their roulettes for leveling

#

And that's before you get into the item level cheesers

fervent silo
#

it's not just copied factory tho

obsidian patio
#

Again, it's the middle of the night for most of NA

fervent silo
#

any alliance raid takes like an hour to find

slate arrow
#

it's the middle of the night

obsidian patio
#

try in like 6 or so hours

slate arrow
#

most people are (unfortunately) going back to work now

fervent silo
#

i'm not on na

slate arrow
#

crystal is NA

fervent silo
#

that's my main

slate arrow
#

And/or unsubbed to FFXIV due to the delayed patch

obsidian patio
#

well then what datacenter are you playing on?

fervent silo
#

elemental

obsidian patio
#

ah in that case you're pretty much prime time.

#

Maybe check your duty finder settings to make sure you're searching for japanese players?

fervent silo
#

then u see my problem lol

slate arrow
#

what Wynne said

#

If you're only searching for ENG

#

Haha good luck

obsidian patio
#

Duty Finder > Cog at the top of the menu > click the J so it's on

fervent silo
#

it is

obsidian patio
slate arrow
#

then you're just getting unlucky then

obsidian patio
#

...No idea then. :X

alpine shadow
#

are you playing as dps?

slate arrow
#

yes they are

ocean pilot
#

hey quick question about lv52+ job quests, do i need to finish the story up to lvl 50 before i can accept those?

twilit arch
#

yes

fervent silo
#

i think it's just because there are too many dps classes maybe

twilit arch
#

you need to be on the heavensward msq before you can do heavensward job quests

slate arrow
#

I'm just running on the assumption that nowdays the playerbase is pretty diminished nowdays with not having a patch soon

twilit arch
#

alliance raids are generally the one queues dps win out on

#

because so many slots

#

but that said plenty of people are taking a break right now

#

so queues arent necessarily going to be that great

#

but just to comment on your point of their being too many dps jobs...it wouldnt matter if they added mroe tanks or healers

leaden ginkgo
#

hey i added crysta balance to my account but how do i use it to buy a monthly subscription?

twilit arch
#

dps would still be the majority

slate arrow
#

@leaden ginkgo go to buy a sub > select crysta as payment

leaden ginkgo
#

it only shows steam payment and paysafecard

#

on the website

#

but last month i also used crysta to buy a subscription

twilit arch
#

try a different browser or private browser

jolly sorrel
#

So I have a set of crafting tools I really like the looks of, could I use glamour plates to take on their looks? I never used those plates before..
Would it overwrite all my armor looks too? Would I need to use a slot per job?

azure kettle
#

Does anyone know what the cause for 90006 error on PS4 is about?

fervent silo
#

@jolly sorrel To use glamour plates you need to add the items to the glamour dresser which consumes them and makes then unequipable, but then you can use those items on as many gear sets for that class as you want.

jolly sorrel
#

How much of these 'glamour plates' can I have?

slate arrow
#

16, I think?

fervent silo
#

15

jolly sorrel
#

Okay, so to glamour my crafting tools I'd burn through over half of them.

#

Well, I guess I'm not using them for anything now anyway so

fervent silo
#

yep once you add an item to the glamour dresser you can't equip it again unless you remove it from the dress which would remove the glamour option

proud willow
#

If it's just the tools, you don't need a whole plate for them

#

You can apply the glamour one time with one glamour prism

#

and it'll stay until you eventually get a new tool someday

twilit arch
#

unless you're still leveling, you should just manually glamour the tool

proud willow
#

If you're still in the process of lev— yeah, what he said

jolly sorrel
#

I'm still leveling D:

fervent silo
#

yep glamour pirsims are really cheap so don't stress about burning through them

twilit arch
#

What gc rank are you

jolly sorrel
#

Oh, I could reserve 8 plates for leveling, and then remove the plates when I get to the current bis tools

#

Maxed, probably

twilit arch
#

cos if you can get prisms easily from gc

#

then just buy a 99 stack

jolly sorrel
#

But I'd need to keep carrying the tools I want to glamour with me too, right?

twilit arch
#

mhm

#

can just put those in the saddle bag unless thats already full

jolly sorrel
#

May as well. Alright, thanks

lime geode
#

Is Zodiac still worth doing or is it more of an antiquity from ARR?

twilit arch
#

only if you want it for glamour

lime geode
#

Nah, I did the first stage and just picked up the Zenith, but sounds like it's quite a grind.

proud willow
#

It certainly is

#

Relic weapons are obsolete once a new expansion comes out, but you can still go back and get them for glamour purposes

lime geode
#

Each expansion has one?

green grail
#

yeah

lime geode
#

Ah, so something to grind for in order to get the most powerful weapon at the time.

green grail
#

yeah it's old endgame content

alpine shadow
#

Atm, the "most powerful weapon" is from the 4th run of the savage tier

tidal yarrow
#

what is south shroud?

alpine shadow
#

A location, south of shroud

twilit arch
#

the southern zone of the black shroud

tidal yarrow
#

is it on an expansion?

alpine shadow
#

No

lime geode
#

It's next door to where you start the game.

twilit arch
#

gridania is in the black shroud

tidal yarrow
#

oh yeah

hearty quail
#

Heyy everyone, I was wondering how can I know what Rank (A, B or S) is the hunt I just picked up is ... ?

green grail
#

the ones you pick up are only B ranks and normal mobs

#

there's no clan hunt board pickup things for A and S ranks

hearty quail
#

Alright, so how to I get Rank A and S hunts ?

slate arrow
#

you just do them

green grail
#

you get rewards from just killing them

#

A ranks spawn on set timers, S ranks spawn when secret conditions in the S rank's zone are met

leaden ginkgo
#

is following the class stories worth it? or can i just skip through them

@leaden ginkgo the 1-30 class story? most are pretty meh IMO

leaden ginkgo

i'm around lvl 60 on DRK now

obsidian patio
#

DRK easily has one of the best job stories out of the jobs

twilit arch
#

there can only be so many fates up at once so try clearing out other fates

obsidian patio
#

to put in context for their job story goodness: the person that wrote them wrote the story for most of (or maybe all of) shadowbringers

quartz karma
#

we did believe me we di d xD

twilit arch
#

but a lot of the fates for the books are only annoyingly long cds

#

so just have to stay in the zone

ooh interesting!

quartz karma

the problem is no matter what happens it just does not apear

leaden ginkgo

will keep me motivated to continue reading for sure, ty

#

i spent around 4 hours the last time waiting for it ...

twilit arch
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯ just have to keep clearing fates in the zone and hope it spawns

like i said, the fates for the books tend to have annoyingly long cds

seems like it xD

#

i just want glowy weapon 👀

@obsidian patio out of curiosity what do you think are the other good job stories

bc DRK was the only really good one out of all the ones I have maxed

IT SPAWNED

and I am a sucker for a good story

SB WHM was nice, I liked ARR BLM since we worked with beast tribes before their actual tribes were unlocked.

forest laurel
#

I forgot all about SB WHM tbh and ye ARR BLM was nice imo

obsidian patio

might be cheating, but I liked most of the GSM/CUL ones

#

I mean they're still jobs

but yeah, most of them were pretty average overall

with PLD and WAR being OMEGALUL

Heyy, quick question what is the best way to farm poetics after I'm done with my daily roulettes ?

What do you farm em for? I seem to have way too many.

hey guys, need a little help... I had started the WAR relic quest back in the day and did some steps, i came back recently and would now like to do another jobs relic. I abandoned the WAR quest but I cant see the WHM one pop up (im where its supposed to be). am I supposed to finish the WAR relic before I can take another?

#

I finished the 2.0 MSQ and all WHM job quests

obsidian patio

shouldn't need to finish it. namazuthink

And Gerolt has no quest at all?

you can gloss over 1.0

#

All the important info you need to know is explained in the MSQ

forest laurel
#

yeah pretty much
the most important bit imo is the Answers cutscene, the rest is explained ingame bc ARR is all about worldbuilding

Hey do I sell low level dog shit gear or do I disenchant it or something

obsidian patio

basically just how fast you can grind for poetics for the most part

#

@zealous bridge check if your gear is at 100% spiritbond and if so you can use the "Extract Materia" option to get materia from it which are basically stat gems

agile laurel
#

oh gee whiz. don't i recall you can also just buy the poetics gear now?

you can choose when you pay for sub if you want auto renewal or not

are primal and crystal two different servers? thank you! ^^

faint flare
#

Different data centres

#

Yes

heavy kettle
#

what's it mean if someone's yellow role on here is primal and the purple role is crystal?

faint flare
#

The colours are just a easy way to tell who is on what data centre

heavy kettle
#

._.

#

but whats it mean

#

which one is she on? she wanted me to join

faint flare
#

Ask her what data centre she's on

#

Data centres are clusters of servets

#

And you play with everyone on that data centre

open coral
#

The only real restriction between servers on a datacenter is that you can’t join someone’s FC on a different server

That’s it though

median locust
#

of playtime. But I started playing in late 2016

#

Can I login with their account on mine?

median locust
#

You need a licence for every platform you're going to play on

acoustic island
#

how do i level up black smith?

cosmic pilot
#

It's not possible then?

median locust
#

You have a PS4 and they have a PC, right? You need a PS4 licence to login on PS4 and a PC licence to login on PC

#

so it wouldn't work

orchid bone
#

oh is your account on pc not able to be used on a ps4 ? that sucks

#

It is, you just need to buy and register the game again

Hellooo

cosmic pilot

so it wouldn't work
@median locust Thanks for the info. I wanna re-sub FFXIV again but probably gonna play mostly with Remote play so I wanna check how good the quality it is first and Idk anyone else with an account that have ps4 license.

#

I want to create a macro to alert a fellow astrologian in the group that I’ll be casting divination at a specific time, I have zero experience with macros, any tips?

cosmic pilot
#

Iirc, it's pretty straight forward. Have you tried it?

faint flare
#

/p using divination

#

Thats it

mossy tartan
#

I want to make the noise as well, more often than not simply saying that doesn’t work

#

Doesn’t even help I get french astros in my English queues

#

That speak 0 English

faint flare
#

Add <se.NUMBER>

#

And use auto translate

#

In the message

mossy tartan
#

ok, thank you

faint flare
#

<se.NUMBER> goes up to 16

mossy tartan
#

what does the number indicate?

faint flare
#

The sound effect

mossy tartan
#

I don’t want to make it too loud or distorting, which one do you advise?

faint flare
#

I have no preference Other than danger bongos on 6 you can test then out in /echo

#

And take your pick

mossy tartan
#

alright

lean yarrow
#

What's the window like to not cancel your cast on moving? 75%?

void saddle
#

Cant find this quest

#

Any1 knows where this bannock guy is?

lean yarrow
#

bannock is an area not a person, and it's in a different map, I think

void saddle
#

Ooh

#

Idk where that is

#

I started the game 5min ago

agile laurel
#

Bannock is in central shroud

#

Do any of the titles on the map have a quest emblem next to them? click that to change the map you're looking at

agile laurel
#

Walk out the gate of gridania and basically walk dead forward til you fall off a small cliff

void saddle
#

@agile laurel tyvm

agile laurel
#

it falls into the category of 'settlement real close to the city that doesn't actually have an aetheryte' so it can be awkward to navigate to

#

before you just figure 'it's right outside'

Slidecast Timing

• Slidecasting is the ability to
move at the end of the cast as the game registers your cast to be complete.
• Mistiming it too early will cause an interruption and moving late will cause your next queued hardcast to get interrupted. (ping relevant)
• Here is a visual (courtesy of Cecilia Atwood) of the estimated time the game snaps the cast to be complete:

median locust
#

@lean yarrow

#

It's around 0.5s and varies on ping

mossy tartan
#

In hells’ kier normal mode, the east set of symbols always shoots out first, right?

lean yarrow
#

@median locust Awesome, thanks

wintry chasm
#

@void saddle you can click on the MSQ tracker to show the NPC location

median locust
#

You'll have to check where the bird goes around the arena, I think

wintry chasm
#

Also on any quest in your journal

mossy tartan
#

I know it’s clockwise or counter clockwise

agile laurel
#

Conflicting info - for the second stage of anima weapon, does the weapon need to be equipped as the final boss of the instance dies, or as you leave the instance?

tidal yarrow
#

is there any blue side quests I should do? I always skipped them

#

but now I wanna do some

wintry chasm
#

Raids

mossy tartan
#

if clockwise, the symbols detonate clockwise, etc

wintry chasm
#

Job quests

mossy tartan
#

but I want to know which set shoots out first - as there are one on the east and west

wintry chasm
#

The one that is in the Fortemps Manor when you best Heavenswt

#

Hildibrand questline

acoustic island
#

is there an addon or something to make gathering nodes show on map

wintry chasm
#

Those are the big ones

median locust
#

@agile laurel As you leave for the 2nd stage. As the boss dies for the light farming part that comes later

tidal yarrow
#

okay thx!

wintry chasm
#

They show up anyway Ultimate

#

What level are you?

acoustic island
#

only on the mini map

wintry chasm
#

Oh I see

median locust
#

@acoustic island This game doesn't really have add-ons.

wintry chasm
#

Not officially

#

But still I haven't heard of one like that

median locust
#

@mossy tartan Pretty sure it's random but I could be wrong. Better to just watch the bird

lean yarrow
#

Leveling an alt: Leves, FATES, finder, grinding

Any other options?

fresh lodge
#

PotD

median locust
#

Lv15 and up, dungeons will always be better than those options (if by grinding you don't already mean dungeons)

wintry chasm
#

Also early levels hunting log

median locust
#

Beast tribes and hunting bills are also good while you're in queue

wintry chasm
#

Also adventurer squadron in your gc

lean yarrow
#

Oh really? so just chain dungeons I was hoping for something a little different but if it ain't broke, I guess

tidal yarrow
#

is holminster switch a long dungeon?

wintry chasm
#

It's a normal dungeon

#

A dungeon is a dungeon

#

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

agile laurel
#

it has some fairly enforced walls

#

it's just a dungeon, really

wintry chasm
#

Not sure what you're expecting, another Prae?

median locust
#

Palace of the Dead floors 51-60 from lv15-59 is more efficient for DPS if you have bad queues. 61-69 you'll wanna spam Heaven on High floors 21-30.

tidal yarrow
#

yeah was just wondering if it was very long

#

cause I've not much time

median locust
#

Dungeons will be the more efficient option (aside from roulettes) as long as your queues are good

wintry chasm
#

It's normal dungeon size

mossy tartan
#

To use the auto translate feature for a macro, what do I do?

wintry chasm
#

All dungeons are normal dungeon size except Prae and Castrum and I guess ARF

tidal yarrow
#

ohh alright

#

second wind restores 500 hp it says

#

isn't it useless since I have 23k?

You lose the sprout when you finish Stormblood + Patches and have 7 days of playtime

don't know where to ask this, but does anyone have a preset for their bard Bome Midi Translator Classic? - I am european and my keyboard layout may differ from american. since I also have the scandinavian letters æøå instead of [ ] = ; etc on those spots.

  • would highly appreciate it as I just got bard and wanted to play songs on my piano into the game.
jolly sorrel
#

I've a ring that I want glamoured as a Master Carpenters Ring as a CRP, and a Master Blacksmiths Ring as a BSM, etc.

#

How would I approach it? My gear set just changes it to the last glamour plate I applied and calls it a day

faint flare
#

Glamour plate for all crafters, which is alot

agile laurel
#

or hold the rings and just glam them manually, which is barely worth the effort

jolly sorrel
#

I have that, a plate for all crafters, but when selecting a job it'll just ignore that entirely

#

I would have to manually re-select the glamour plate any time I switch jobs?

faint flare
#

You need to swap in a town for thr plates to applu

jolly sorrel
#

I last applied the culinarian plate, saved it to a gearset, and then switched to carpenter- it just keeps the ring glamoured as the CUL ring and then says 'restricted class, cant show'

little swift
#

You can link glamour plates to a gearset to alleviate the manual switching

jolly sorrel
#

Aha, I see

#

Perfect

#

Yes, works exactly like I want it to. Thanks

leaden ginkgo
#

highest ilvl doesn’t mean best damage for that class right ?

median locust
#

Highest iLv will give you more potential damage but it's still up to the player to reach it

faint flare
#

^

#

You always take the highest ilvl gear, the player needs to make use of said gear

little swift
#

Higher ilvl will also provide more mainstats which are how you get more damage scaling anyways until you need to minmax substats with melds

#

That and weapon damage

#

Which scale with ilvl

median locust
#

Within 40 iLvl the better player will most likely have the better damage. But if they're 100 iLv apart then unless the highest iLv player is absolutely horrible, then they will do more damage

#

So iLv really does matter but within a few iLv, it doesn't as much

okay I'm fine then

270 if you upgrade the shire

The lv60 version of ironworks

You can get it immediately upon reaching Idyllshire

#

what materia should tanks generally go for? determination and direct hit?

marble drift
#

Tanks generally have a stat priority for melding endgame gear

faint flare
#

Comfy sks > crit > dh > dey

#

If warrior, drop the dh

marble drift
#

for all tanks bar warrior. its ^

#

reversed position on DH and DET for warriors

median locust
#

Meld Tenacity before DH even

faint flare
#

Tanks usually have around 2.4s gcd

sleek pagoda
#

I'm not sure what do you mean "stat priority" or "comfy sks"

median locust
#

What tank are you playing?

marble drift
#

Are you even 80 yasu?

sleek pagoda
#

yes

median locust
#

Comfy SkS depends on the tank you're playing

marble drift
#

are you progressing Savage raids or EX trials

sleek pagoda
#

dunno dude, I generally main healer

marble drift
#

No like progressing as in attempting to clear them

#

either with a group or with pugs

twin sable
#

Hey how do I revive if I die?

sleek pagoda
#

i mean i did most of them as healer lol

twin sable
#

I have no options nothing

marble drift
#

savage?

#

it'll say savage or extreme on the duty. the current tier of raids is Eden's Verse. If you're not looking to do those in the hardest difficulty

#

then your melds don't matter

sleek pagoda
#

I have 2 tanks lvl 80

faint flare
#

Stat priotry is similar to how you meld healers

#

Healers typically have comfy piety > crit > dh or det

#

Tanks are similar, just swapping the piety for skill speed

sleek pagoda
#

I still don't know what this comfy thing means

#

comfortable?

faint flare
#

Yes

median locust
#

I asked you which tank you play because it depends on your job.

sleek pagoda
#

I still don't get how that applies

faint flare
#

Its the required skill speed to fit all your gcd under buffs

#

Take warrior

marble drift
#

Every tank needs X skill speed

#

based on your latency

#

to get enough gcds inside thier buff window

sleek pagoda
#

I like drk the most

marble drift
#

every tank has these buffs windows

sleek pagoda
#

yeah my gcd is 2.39

faint flare
#

You need like at least 2.38-2.4s gcd to hit 5 gcds under inner release

#

Same for dark

median locust
#

For DRK:
-1015 for 2.43 GCD - Tight af
-1117 for 2.42 GCD
-1218 for 2.41 GCD
-1320 for 2.40 GCD
-1421 for 2.39 GCD
-1523 for 2.38 GCD - Lenient

#

copied from the balance

#

you wanna reach your preferred amount of skill speed from those numbers

faint flare
#

So you can fit 5 Bloodspillers under delirium

#

If you can't hit that, then you need more speed

median locust
#

^ If you can't, you need to meld till you reach the next Skillspeed tier then try again

faint flare
#

If you can, then you have enough speed

#

Then you meld the next stat in your priority lisy

#

Which would be crit

sleek pagoda
#

i've been told it's either determination or direct hit

faint flare
#

And if you cant meld crit cause its capped on your gear, you move down the list

#

Follow the stat priotry

sleek pagoda
#

oooh I think i know what you mean now

faint flare
#

There isnt a straight answer of "just meld this"

#

You meld to your stat priorties

median locust
#

You meld to hit one of the skill speed tiers above. Then you meld the next stats unless you can't get the full stats from the materia. Then you meld the next thing, etc

#

That's why they're > layered > like > this

sleek pagoda
faint flare
#

Those arw stat caps

#

On that piece of gear

median locust
#

Yes, if it hits the cap and you would lose stats, don't meld it

faint flare
#

You cant meld more crit on that gear cause its capped

#

But you can meld direct hit

#

Since it has none

sleek pagoda
#

ye that i know

median locust
#

But yeah for priority, DRK is Comfy SkS > Crit > DH > Det.
Meld to reach the tier of skill speed you want.
Then meld crit.
If you can't meld crit, meld DH.
If you can't meld DH, meld Det.

#

That's how stat priorities read

lean yarrow
#

does speed affect gcd?

faint flare
#

Yes

median locust
#

That's its entire purpose yeah

faint flare
#

Thats the point of speed

lean yarrow
#

oh shit I thought it was cast speed

faint flare
#

Its both

sleek pagoda
#

what's the difference between determination and direct hit though

#

the explanation in game doesn't make much sense to me

median locust
#

Spell Speed is cast speel. Skill Speed is weaponskill recast.

faint flare
#

Direct hits are mini crits

marble drift
#

det is flat damage

sleek pagoda
#

oooh

faint flare
#

Whenever you direct hitz you deal 25% more damage

#

Getting more DH increases the rate

#

You can crit and direct hit in the same attack

marble drift
#

unlike crit. getting more DH doesn't increase the % in which you DH

faint flare
#

For a critical direct hit

median locust
#

Direct Hit is a chance at dealing 25% more damage. More DH = higher chance to get a DH.
Crit is a chance at dealing X% more damage. More crit = higher chance to get a Crit AND higher damage from crits.
Det is just a general % increase to your damage and healing output.

lean yarrow
#

Okay but what's "uncomfy" speed? Why wouldnt everyone want to max that stat to cap?

faint flare
#

Allaganstudies has a full breakdown of stats and how each tier affects it

median locust
#

Because other stats are better

faint flare
#

Because you're sacrificing a ton of other, better stats

marble drift
#

everyones "comfy" is different based on timings as latency

faint flare
#

Each tier of speed only reduces the gcd by 0.01s

median locust
#

You only need enough speed to hit that many more hits. If more skill speed doesn't make you get more hits under the buff window, then it's useless

sleek pagoda
#

i can do 5 bloodspillers under delirium

faint flare
#

Then you have enough speed

sleek pagoda
#

i guess that's a gucci start

lean yarrow
#

oh wow 0.01...wait are you saying it affects ticks on dots too? jeez

faint flare
#

Noy entirely, only its damage

median locust
#

If you get 1500 skill speed you can hit 5 bloodspillers under Delirium. Getting 3000 skill speed won't make you hit more of them so that's 1500 wasted stats.

faint flare
#

By a non noticeable amount

marble drift
#

can you get 5 weaponskills under blood weapon?

sleek pagoda
#

i have like 1431 skill speed atm

median locust
#

That's fine

#

If you can get 5 Bloodspillers reliably, you can safely start melding other things now

sleek pagoda
#

I'm not sure I understand @marble drift

marble drift
#

during your blood weapon buff

#

you want to be able to get 5 weaponskills inside it

faint flare
#

You need to fit 5 gcds under blood weapon as well

#

Otherwise its a lost of mana

#

And therefore lost of dps

sleek pagoda
#

yeah i can barely do 5 skills with blood weapon

faint flare
#

As long as you can do it you have enough

#

Fissie posted the recommended list of speed

#

For DRK:
-1015 for 2.43 GCD - Tight af
-1117 for 2.42 GCD
-1218 for 2.41 GCD
-1320 for 2.40 GCD
-1421 for 2.39 GCD
-1523 for 2.38 GCD - Lenient

spice shell
#

what is a legacy server, and is there anything I should know beforehand? thinking about transfering to aether/sargatanas

#

seems like it meant more around 2.0 and new servers getting added

median locust
#

Legacy servers are just servers that 1.0 players started on when 2.0 launched. That's it.

#

Nothing special about them

spice shell
#

ok, i like the clear rates and slightly lower pop than other aether servers lol, so im eyeing it up. wish server transfers didnt cost money

whole lagoon
#

buddy in my opinion always join new servers to level up fast that's what i did because you can play on any server later but on new you will get 2x exp boost

spice shell
#

feel like I gotta get it right

sleek pagoda
#

how long does a character/server take? I'll be moving data centers

median locust
#

You can't get the exp boost if you transfer to a preferred server

faint flare
#

Transfers are generally pretty quick

median locust
#

Only if you create a new character

whole lagoon
#

oh is that so

spice shell
#

yeah im not worried about leveling anyways, just looking for a home outside of crystal lol

faint flare
#

There's no wrong answer for servers, the data centre is more important

wintry chasm
#

ok, i like the clear rates and slightly lower pop than other aether servers lol, so im eyeing it up. wish server transfers didnt cost money
Clears are across the data center. There isn't (or at least shouldn't) be a reason to really look at server clears. It's a statistic which means nothing whatsoever

spice shell
#

i mean, the answer to which data center/server is typically "just pick one", so ill take whatever sliver I can to direct me

#

but thanks

#

i guess

wintry chasm
#

Sure but don't pick a completely useless sliver

spice shell
#

then point me to a less useless one

faint flare
#

Take whatever data centre is closee to you, if you're NA Go NA

wintry chasm
#

Already been mentioned

#

Preferred servers

spice shell
#

ok, not a factor

wintry chasm
#

If you make a new character

#

Otherwise uhh

spice shell
#

im already leveled, im transferring

median locust
#

Datacenter somewhat matters but server doesn't

wintry chasm
#

Alright I got nothing but still

faint flare
#

Unless there's a specific FC you want to join

spice shell
#

server would for housing and FC's to a point

faint flare
#

Or friends on that server

wintry chasm
#

Right Dreakon

faint flare
#

Housing is dead/full at the moment so

#

Aint getting anything there

spice shell
#

smaller pops probably mean more availability, for what little there is id think

faint flare
#

No matter where you go

wintry chasm
#

Not on all the servers Vinyl

#

Well

faint flare
#

I'll be surprised if there's plot still

#

With the freeze

wintry chasm
#

Maybe all the servers on aether

raven sage
#

I will put out there that if you're considering sargatanas then it definitely has no housing right now

faint flare
#

Even on small pops

wintry chasm
#

But on other data centers there should be space

spice shell
#

housing isnt an immediate concern 🙂

#

but its a factor, server wise

wintry chasm
#

IIRC Twin and Spriggan have slots for example on the EU ones (not like Dreakon would go there but hey)

spice shell
#

anywho, im just going with the tools i got. while clear rates by server are unreliable and pretty meaningless with cross world parties and matchmaking, its probably not too farfetched that a legacy server would house a less casual crowd

#

which has some significance on FC's there id imagine

raven sage
#

Most FCs don't really raid together at least on Sargatanas

#

Like I can think of a handful off the top of my head and that's not significant

spice shell
#

odd, wouldnt that be the point for FC's focusing on that kinda stuff?

raven sage
#

Most people use discord and linkshells

spice shell
#

what do FC's do lol

raven sage
#

So they can spread themselves out more

#

FCs are more for friends and the buffs

spice shell
#

interesting

raven sage
#

But again there are some raiding FCs

#

It's just emphasis on the some

spice shell
#

fair enough

raven sage
#

You really can't go too wrong with any aether server but Sarg isn't a bad option if you're really set

Job quests are mandatory

#

hi i am currently a level 10 fisherman and I was wondering if there is an effective/efficient way to level this job or do I just have to go to different areas and catch fish until the next job quest?

Is it hard to get the Kirin mount?

faint flare
#

No

#

The ponies are easily gotten

#

Cause ARR primals are easily soloed

wintry chasm
#

^ EX fights easy when you unsync it with people who are level 80 and stuff

#

Like, 30 second fights

nova umbra
#

how often do you guys use regen at level 80 stuff?

slate arrow
#

depends on the content

nova umbra
#

expert trials and savage content for example

slate arrow
#

assuming you're with players who only take mechanic damage? Probably only once or twice, if you know damage isn't coming up and it's only 1-2 players who aren't the tanks

#

Depends on the exact piece of content however

#

See the healing timelines in The Balance

Rofl I was afraid to pick the wrong flag

#

What're the rules for the #603040697884475393 channel? Am I allowed to post my recruitment for my FC there? is it tied to the subreddit at all to where if I posted on the reddit I shouldn't post here too? >.>

junior yacht
#

Yes you are allowed to post FC recruitment messages.

#

No, posting on the sub doesn't prevent you from posting here as well.

hot temple
#

One more question, am I allowed to have links to other discords in my post, or should I remove that? >.>

#

Thanks for answering btw ;3

topaz hornet
#

Does this app have voice communication for when y’all raid? It’s like the ventrilo

junior yacht
#

I don't know about linking to other discos, sorry

#

"this app" as in Discord?

misty pelican
#

If I glamour the Eternity Ring will I still be able to use it somehow to teleport to my spouse?

little swift
#

@hot temple generally people tend to just ask for potential recruitment candidates to dm them and they provide the discord name and #tag

hot temple
#

Thanks :3

trail ravine
#

Is it worth it to level the trusts? It seems really grindy to level everyone

little swift
#

@topaz hornet yes it has voice chat. You can re-react to the role in #612757637813239808 to remove it

raven sage
#

@misty pelican As long as you have the ring itself on you then you can use it

little swift
#

It is if you value the achievement/ability to do dungeons for exp without using duty finder @trail ravine

misty pelican
#

@raven sage Thank you!

little swift
#

Also you can sorta glamour the trusts

trail ravine
#

Tyvm

raven sage
#

@misty pelican Actually I should clarify better. As long as it's in your armoury or inventory you can use it

gritty oracle
#

How fast do trusts level?

trail ravine
#

Mine are still at 71/72, took 3 runs of Holminster to lvl from 71-72

#

Takes longer bc i don't think the npcs use aoes

little swift
#

The runs are a fixed 30 minutes

opal bough
#

What's the respawn time for the brick event

little swift
#

The npcs adjust their damage based on how quick you go

I keep showing up but nothing's there

little swift
#

It takes a while. Like 30ish minutes? At least from what I noticed

trail ravine
#

30min is my avg

leaden ginkgo
#

so I finally unlocked Ishguard Restoration and it's like...kind of overwhelming

#

what do most folks use it for nowadays since it's old content?

open coral
#

It's not old content?

#

But it's great for leveling DoH/DoL

leaden ginkgo
#

yeah most of my DoL stuff is above 70 atm, do I just do gathering turn ins then?

open coral
#

Yep. You can use it all the way up to 80 for leveling.

leaden ginkgo
#

I'm really unsure of where to start

#

oooh cool cool

open coral
#

Then do the usual scrip turn ins and whatever.

leaden ginkgo
#

and crafting is just...collectible turn ins then?

open coral
#

Yeah, right now.

leaden ginkgo
#

I just learned about those yesterday, collectibles in general

#

did a few collectible turn ins in Idyllshire with Rowena at first

open coral
#

When they release the next stage there will also be FATEs that show up at certain timings (based on server progress).

faint flare
#

Collectibles are just the same as HQing things, except you need a minimum amount to turn in and get rewarded based on collectiblity

leaden ginkgo
#

so mostly Ishguard Resto is for grinding stuff up to 80 and picking through the rewards in the Skyscrip vendor?

open coral
#

Between construction phases like we are right now, yes.

leaden ginkgo
#

yeah I'm on Balmung and I think all of our construction stuff is finished

gentle knoll
#

is there no "global chat" in this game? I never see anyone talking to eachother.

faint flare
#

No

leaden ginkgo
#

so this is stuff that they'll keep updating then with new projects?

faint flare
#

Yes

gentle knoll
#

so how do you interact with people?

leaden ginkgo
#

okay cool cool, so when I do get my DoL stuff up to 80....beyond the minions and stuff in the vendor....I can basically ignore it if I don't want to level up crafting stuff then?

faint flare
#

Shouting, going to populated zones, talking while waiting in party finder, socialising in free companies

open coral
#

Pretty much, yeah @leaden ginkgo

leaden ginkgo
#

I'm just trying to prioritize if I really really need to do this right now or if I can put it off until later that's all

open coral
#

Oh, you can totally put it off.

leaden ginkgo
#

I finished Heavensward FINALLY and now I'm going back to look at my DoL stuff and DoH stuff

#

and it's like fuck me this is a lot

open coral
#

It will still be around several expansions down the road, much like you can still do the Doman Restoration (Stormblood's version).

gentle knoll
#

I don't understand. If I go to populated zones I don't see anyone chatting. @faint flare

faint flare
#

Cause they're in Linkshells

#

Occasionally you see people in say.and shout

leaden ginkgo
#

ooooh there's a doman resto too? Cool cool

faint flare
#

Depends on server

gentle knoll
#

how do I see/join linkshells

faint flare
#

You get invited

median locust
#

Doman Restoration isn't the same thing at all, it's more similar to a beast tribe than anything else

leaden ginkgo
#

okay okay I've done a handful of those beast tribe things, only have my eyes set on one particular one though out of all of them

median locust
#

You sell stuff to them every week to get new stuff from them

gentle knoll
#

as a new player I don't know how I'm meant to socialize with other players. How do I get invited to a linkshell? how do I know how many there are/which to join?

#

this game seems to discourage socializing

faint flare
#

Join free companies, talk to people when you party up for stuff

#

Sit in limsa

leaden ginkgo
#

@median locust so it's kind of like Zhloe's Orphanage in Idyllshire?

gentle knoll
#

what does sitting in limsa do? I never see anyone say anything there

faint flare
#

Its where most people hang out and you occasionally see people talk

#

Server depending as always

median locust
#

Doman Resto isn't crafting related

gentle knoll
#

I'm on zalera crystal. Very populated and the game still feels extremely empty

#

large open cities with no one around

median locust
#

You sell stuff to them like a regular vendor and they give you more gil than you usually would

#

And there's a cap on it that you have to meet

#

and you have to try and meet the cap every week

open coral
#

You've sat in Limsa on Zalera and never seen anyone talking? Every time I go there I always walk into the middle of at least five different conversations in the vicinity of the main aetheryte.

gentle knoll
#

correct

#

am I missing something? do I have to enable some chat setting?

leaden ginkgo
#

@median locust so it's basically "here's a bunch of my junk" from a weekly basis and as each week moves past and as you sell more, the Reconstruction advances?

median locust
#

Yes, there's also quests to do to advance it

leaden ginkgo
#

aye saw those in the wiki

wintry chasm
#

You have a few different filters by default when you start the game. This is only theoretical but some of them do just cut out chat like the event and battle filters sooo

#

Lemon

leaden ginkgo
#

do many people do Doman Reconstruction at all? because I'm trying to find the rewards for doing it

#

and all I can see are a few offerings from the Junkmonger

wintry chasm
#

Title, few furnishings, the top, and all the money you get from doing it

gentle knoll
#

I have everything enabled. I don't see anything that would indicate any filtering

wintry chasm
#

also it's just really wholesome to do tbh

open coral
#

@gentle knoll You might just need to find a good, active FC to join then?

wintry chasm
#

The bottom bits are filters just fyi

#

and the yellow dot tells you which one you have on

leaden ginkgo
#

cool cool thanks!

wintry chasm
#

in case it was set to one different

gentle knoll
open coral
#

No

#

Just like Alisaie said, check the filters at the bottom of your chat window to see which one is currently active.

#

If you have the "Event" or "Battle" filter active instead of the "General" one, you won't see any conversations at all.

gentle knoll
#

it is on general. I've never seen anyone chat ever.

open coral
#

Just unlucky then, maybe.

gentle knoll
#

I'm lvl 72 on my first job and I just feel like I'm playing a single player game. Only player interaction I have is in duty finder parties

open coral
#

As we've noted, people tend to keep the bulk of their socialization within FC chat or linkshells.

#

I know of at least one very active, social FC on Zalera (which I'm a part of - thus how I know), but I'm sure there are others.

#

You can ask in /shout chat in any of the three major cities if there are social FCs recruiting.

gentle knoll
#

I'm in an FC with friends already

#

idk this game just feels so sterile and lifeless at times. Not like an MMO

open coral
#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

gentle knoll
#

go to a big city and everyone is just standing still and no one chatting

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

finite socket
#

Hey im relatively new, and im having issues choosing which class/role/job to go for, as my first. Can anyone recommend a video or anything of the sort, that can explain the different choices in detail?

#

What to expect etc

median locust
#

Check the first pin

#

Should give you a basic look at every job

finite socket
#

Yeah im not looking for a basic thats the thing

open coral
#

I don't think there's any really "in depth" comprehensive videos.

wintry chasm
#

Honestly that Larry one is the best you're going to get tbh

#

I haven't watched it admittedly but his stormblood one was good

open coral
#

There might be ones for individual jobs, but those would be more aimed at people who have already selected a role they'd prefer to play.

#

I mean, we could break it down for you here and try to help you choose.

#

Or you could just try every job out on your own, since you can do all the things on one character.

sullen pulsar
#

Main just finished ARR but at one point of the final quest where you have to climb into a robot, I could not and the team was not helpful in telling me what to do so I miss the next segment. I later found the Magitek summon thing in my inventory. Is that what I have to use?

open coral
#

No

#

You're talking about in Praetorium?

faint flare
#

You interact with the console prior to the elevator

open coral
#

There's a pedestal before you go up to where the armour hangar is that you have to interact with first.

faint flare
#

Then you're allowed to ride the magitek armour at the top

wintry chasm
#

^

sullen pulsar
#

yea, ok so you have to interact before riding up

open coral
#

Yes

sullen pulsar
#

ok thanks

median locust
#

Everyone has to interact with it individually

open coral
#

Otherwise you won't have the required "authorization" to pilot a magitek armour

leaden ginkgo
#

For levelling retainers, should I be doing hunting ventures or quick ventures?

sullen pulsar
#

That's what happened then

#

thanks all

open coral
#

Both. Quick ventures when you're online, then send them on a Hunt venture before you log off for the day.

leaden ginkgo
#

It feels like quick ventures aren't worth it since the exp is entirely randomised

open coral
#

They have a shorter turnaround though, so it's more efficient to keep sending them every hour.

leaden ginkgo
#

The hunting ventures are an hour too though

sullen pulsar
#

Also, does common vendor now a thing of the past after lvl 50, you have to get you higher gears thru new vendors quests and market

open coral
#

Hunting ventures are 18 hours.

median locust
#

MSQ will give you gear every once in a while, normally shouldn't have to buy vendor gear

#

You mean Field Ventures I think

leaden ginkgo
#

I'm not talking about the field exploration ventures @open coral

median locust
#

or uh

open coral
#

Ohh

median locust
#

going for a specific item

open coral
#

Got it

#

I think Quick ventures are still the better option? idk now. I'm lazy so I just send my retainers out on 18 hour ones when I remember they exist.

leaden ginkgo
#

but yeah, so I'm asking if it's better to do the one hour quick ventures, where the exp gain is random, or the hunting ventures where the exp gain is fixed - they both take an hour

sullen pulsar
#

Keep hearing about poetics stuff

wintry chasm
#

yes

open coral
#

@sullen pulsar Yes. You got a special currency called Tomestones of Poetics from completing Castrum Meridianum and Praetorium. That currency can be exchanged for level 50 gear (and 60 and 70, but those aren't your concern yet) - the Ironworks set, which is the basically the best gear you can get at level 50.

stray dawn
#

is there an auto sort for inventory?

wintry chasm
#

rightclick and press sort

leaden ginkgo
#

So I'm guessing no one knows lol

#

rip

wintry chasm
#

also poetics aren't just from those two dungeons, it's just the first ones that give it. It's given from all level 50+ content from now on basically @sullen pulsar

open coral
#

^

wintry chasm
#

Quick ventures are too RNG I'm pretty sure it's not the best @leaden ginkgo

#

IIRC

#

It's the hunting one most of the time and then set it for the field exploration ones when you go to sleep?

#

is most efficient?

open coral
#

Alisaie is smart and knows many things.

leaden ginkgo
#

That sounds about right - looks like the quick ventures are only worth doing once your retainers are geared enough to bring back decent stuff since that gives more exp

wintry chasm
#

mine keeps giving me malm kelp 😢

leaden ginkgo
#

Love that for you tbh

median locust
#

It doesn't make the rewards better, it just adds more stuff to the loot pool. So you can still get lv5 fish as much as you get gear from the lv79 dungeon or extreme primal drops for some reason

#

Pretty sure hunting ventures are better in the long run (for exp)

orchid bone
#

How many characters do you have

#

Like normally
