its NQ
ohhhhh i have a cofferrrrr
yes
@molten spruce okay, so Hissatsu: Soten - that's a PVP action, which is probably why everyone was confused. However, you can still macro it to work the way you want, assuming that the way you want is "to dash to your current target". Here's how it would look :
/micon "Hissatsu: Soten" pvpaction
/macroerror off
/pvpac "Hissatsu: Soten" <t>
the <t> at the end tells it "your current target"
could put another line of /pvpac "hissatsu: soten" without the t so he can still pick a location
Since you're on controller it wouldnt be relevant to you, but oftentimes the tag <mo> is used for Mouseover. You can also use <f> for Focus Target
the only downside now is that i dont have the ability icon so idk when its available
i have to guide myself with hissatsu chiten
It will show up when you are in PvP
im in wolves den
Did you remove it by accident
no, i set it uo here
up
it shows up as the macro icons u get to choose from
so i dont know when it available for use since i use my charges for it
if you made the macro in the exact manner that i specified, it should show the icon for the spell as well as the relevant cooldown
Dont select an icon for it. Leave it on the M
Again - if you did it as specified, it should show up correctly. Your macro should look like this :
take the space out of "pvp action"
ok
dude i hate programming lol
im taking a class in college and i cheat the fukk out of it
noww its fixed
thankssss
What non-healers get rez? Summoner - any others?
Summoner and red mage

How many levels above MSQ does XP gains stop being decent? 5 levels?
but don't do like lvl 54 quests with a lvl 78
hullo like to know when i go to the char page, under classes and jobs for DOH. I see some class names in purple while others are in white. Why is there a diffeence in the colors?
Wdym by specialists, sorry not very clear
specialists are the crafter jobs you equipped with a soul of the crafter
it just gives them a small boost in stats and lets them use careful observation with crafter's delineations
Ahh and i can have specialist for all doh classes if i complete the quests?
Only 3
Got it very clear tks
i think its 3 swaps max a week
but you have to buy more souls from arden or whoever
costs yellow crafter's scrips
Hey, I am wondering what is the rule regarding mods for this game. Like is reshade allowed, or would using it risk me getting banned?
Reshade is completely fine
anything that doesn't mess with the game files is fine
if you touch the game files, you violate the ToS
Got it. So as long as I only use texture mods I should be good. Thanks!
What if you replace the texture file of a specific piece of gear? Would that count as modifying the game files or would that be fine still?
Hey guys hopefully this is the right place for this question but has anyone had success using the fruits to dye your chocobo black? I've used the calculator https://ffxivchocobo.com/en but every time I fed it the fruits, it ended up dark blue or green. Then attempting to feed it more to get to black, it just ends up in a color loop from brown to green to blue and around and around. Just wondering if there's a method I should utilize, or feeding order is wrong on the website.
I did but it was multiple days of looping
that's rng for you
make sure you follow the calculator EXACTLY
and if you don't get the message "your chocobo is growing new feathers" when you feed it, then you need to feed it that item again until you get the message
I have a question regarding GATEs. For a given timeslot there are 3 possible GATEs than can occur. Does it rotate between those GATEs, or is it completely random which one happens?
So if the feeding order is pear > berry > pear > berry, but it never pops the message... I just feed it the same one until the message DOES appear? Then I start counting fruits?
So 19 pears it says, but if the message doesn't pop i'd end up feeding it like 22
if you feed it pear and there's no "your chocobo is growing new feathers" then you feed it pear again
until you get it
then feed it berry
Yeah but does feeding it those pears count towards the 19?
Or does that 19 only count once the message pops?
it only counts if the messages pops
@mortal current iirc its randomly selected between those 3 possible gates
I wonder if that's what I was doing wrong then
Okay, thank you.
cause if the message didn't pop when you fed it then it effectively didn't do anything to your chocobo's color
Yeah, I remember having the 19 pears
And feeding it like 6 or 7 and then the message popping
Then not knowing how many more I needed to feed it
So I just fed it til I ran out and got extra confused.
the calculator assumes that the message popped for every item you fed it
so if it says you need 19 pears then get some extra
just in case
Okay, so I could actually end up feeding it a few more times later on and not getting a message
and potentially burning through extra beeries or apples
yes
np
also if you're trying to get soot black it will take several tries
it still has some rng
Prob won't go a week with looping the same colors though, if I feed it correctly
like might go a day or two before it lands
yeah took me maybe 2 or 3 days to get it
Yeah soot black failed like 4 times for me.
Yeah... it was literally every six hours for like 5 days
Green blue brown green blue brown.
Can someone explain CL Tri and Circle to me?
Don't see circle a lot but it's out there
Cast bars + timers are matched to realtime.
🔁 Right click the play button or video and select 'Loop' to Loop.
⚡️ This particular diagram shows Healer-Melee-Ranged, but the strat can be easily adjusted to be Healer-Ranged-Melee. Discuss the order you want to use with your par...

Yeeee you guys knew I’d be back lol.
What’s the difference between a weaver and leather worker ?
ok ty wynne
weaver makes cloth items, leatherworker makes leather items
I don’t do savage so I can’t say
Ooo Okee thanks. Is weaving for the magic people ?
Okay guys I got@steam up ready to instal but there is more different games. I’m assuming choose install at the top but the very next sentence says shadowbringers will install with it and there’s a hyperlink to manage dlc
Not always. Casting/Healing gear sometimes uses leather worker and rarely even armorer
does macros allow for key modifiers?
i.e. press ctrl or alt to make the macro do something different
Nope
pfft, alright, thank you!
This one!
@crimson wind what was your question about CL
Tyler, any questions about that?
My account is currently suspended (probaly due to phishing) since my friend told me he received private message from my character. I cant log in right now. Is there anyway to get this resolved faster, or I have to wait for GM to get back through ticket support? Does anyone know?
Yeah the game and all it’s expansions are under one game tab in steam. I’m pretty sure the pic I sent is the instal I want but all the dlc is there
@remote lintel basically, I've seen a strat where there are 4 markers on east and west for cl, in the shape trapezoid
I’m just making sure I do it correct
That's so sad. But thanks
healers and ranged stay on far back markers, melee pop TN and stay at markers closer to mid
uh i dont know about trapezoid shaped markers
healer passes to dps, dps to tank ranged grabs tanks chain then passes to healer
So every expansion I go through steam and install when it’s time?
Yes Tyler
No the markers are arranged to look like a trapezoid
Thank you corska
Was wondering if strat was viable
Well, in truth @topaz hornet , they'll all be downloaded when you install the launcher and log in. It's pretty difficult to screw anything up right now
nah the strat I was talking about
the triangle one yes?
Eh forget it
you mean if you had tanks in the triangle strat?
Basically
i wouldnt recommend it
I’m guessing use the top sequence
I thought it was trash, was just wondering why they used it
my dude
@topaz hornet you put those into mog station
You'll need both CD Keys when the time comes. For now, just hit play
bruh
don't post codes
^
And code probably stolen by others

Also... rofl
whomst
<@&100464652139368448> Save Tyler from himself please 👆
Oh no I have to pay another 30$ are you all poor?
you could have tagged a mentor
i mean if you want to lose money go ahead
I see
Be careful not to post uncensored codes
Or a mute idk
I'd be more concerned about having to make another Steam account to buy them
^
Even the most seemingly trustworthy folks can be thieves
My steam games@worth only@500
Maybe to you
Thanks
So I’m trying to purchase a collectors edition upgrade, but it says I cannot use this function? What’s that about? I recently bought the complete edition

Do you get any kind of error code david?
I’m excited to play but I haven’t played mmos in forever. When I get better than almost all of@you and you ask for my help I shall remember
Cant wait to see the grey parses 
Yes I get error code i2501 after pressing proceed to payment
Telepsychiatry is a wonderful thing
tyler your question was answered
have fun with grey parses
Yeah in an asshole way
So is the hole I'm going to throw you into if you keep trying to pick a fight in this channel. Shoo. This isn't a discussion channel.
just don't post uncensored codes
@celest herald i2501 is a generic "payment failed" kind of thing. Could be fraud protection, could be SE payment problems, could be you having a different IP address than before, could be you using a VPN... It's really just a "try again" kind of thing. Different browsers or using privacy mode might help
we didn't answer like assholes we answered like people who care about money
wol just leave it
I had literally never seen them before and had no clue what to do with them
Dude
It’s my money and my mistake
Chill

Its just some friendly advice
@vagrant copper I bought the complete edition today so I don’t think it’s a payment error? My bank hasn’t contacted me for fraud either and I’ve been trying for the last 5 hours
I didn't mean a bank payment failure. Just... SE isn't letting you buy it. I ran into the same thing. Bought stuff on the station. Tried buying more stuff 5 minutes later and it failed. 
Okay will do
Maybe even on mobile too
Switched to Firefox and then it worked
Once
Switched to my laptop and then it worked
Once

Who is the best pvp player here
Gooooood evening! Looking for some helpful tips~
So Im lvl 20, should I just level to max before looking for a FC?
Perks like exp gains?
There is no ganking here like wow right?
Yes
No
or just the chance I can play with helpful ppl
There isnt
No open world PvP
@frosty granite both
No wpvp
Only BGs and Arena?
So I am leveling as lancer atm, that becomes a Dragoon correct?
I’ve gonna take Vyvanse all week long and learn all I need to know to get an arena team started in about 10 days. I will be top
Well
@frosty granite yes
Yes tony
good luck bud
what's the safest site to buy gametime aside from mogstation and square-enix official?
is it a bad idea to do sigmascape savage with dungeon finder
You can get to max level in uh
With the expacs, is there anything after that?
Look up the Druid from wow Faril
Maybe 200 hours or so
Yes blank
Amazon has time cards
Cause no one ques for savage
I think GameStop too if they still exist
@obsidian patio they are sent digitally?
And whatever major retailers for your area
fk so gotta use party finder
they should @wary rapids
Unsynced in party finder rolls over it quickly
I realize arena is a bit different here so if some guys can show me the ropes when it’s time I’ll return the love
the 48 man pvp is basically like a watered down LoL
If you seriously want to do all the pvp things, there’s a community for that in our #resources channel - PvPaissa
I’m sure they will be happy to assist you
Oh I won’t to do both
is post arr fillers?
No
I’ll form my pvp squad alone on my own time if it’s no ones jam here

@remote lintel @obsidian patio how do i know if this is US or EU?
Its one of the longer parts since its 100 quests total
There are exactly 100 between 2.1 and the end of 2.55b
@wary rapids looking at the comments that one is only for NA accounts. :/
I need EU 😭
Maybe a EU retail site?
doens't amazon have a separate EU website?
🤷♂️
maybe the UK amazon will have it for EU?
Might try the EU datacenters channel
could try newegg but idk if they do EU
im level 32
nvm i dont think they do
what lvl is your msq
msq?
You also need to have done the quest "Slyph Management" in the MSQ
main story
im at a proper burial

Gotta catch up with story
how can I reset the position of all windows?
Story locks EVERYTHING
You're getting close to the real game Dainichi 😛
"close"
Well, depends on what you call the real game lol
i just wanna play with people
Having mounts does help a bit
getting real boring doing everything solo
you play with people in dungeons and trials
thanks
Are the “special instances battles” like the lurkers in the grotto completed by your self or you can find homies ?
If theres a glowing light around a npc and a message saying its a instance then its a solo instances
The story has alot of solo instances
But you do do some dungeons for the story
Guys will dragoon gonna have aoe spells later cuz i reached lvl 26 and not even 1 spell aoe..
First is lv40 sadly
Dammmn
Dragoon gets theirs the latest
Dragoon and ninja get the short stick for How late they learn their AoE
But you do get a 3 step aoe combo
Ooo thank you vinyl
I want give up on dragoon but i bought realm reborn msq boost
But yeah
Ill keep on going
if you don't like it then switch
Hi guys, new to the game, level 20 right now. I mostly play WoW but wanted to try something else. Right now I'm still too new to tell how the game will look like at the end, but does someone with experience know how endgame is like, and how I would like it considering my interest in WoW? For example in WoW, I do like Mythics progression and ilvl gear progression, and love farming transmogs. How is FFXIV like?
what does the cross hotbar section do?
That’s the hotbar that controller players use
alright, thx
@leaden ginkgo you do harder endgame content to get better gear
best gear comes from savage
also there's weekly lockouts on the tokens you trade for better gear
and you will like it better than WoW because theres no meta
It says I unlocked roles where might I find this
you might have gotten your first Role Action, those are in the Actions & Traits menu
sorry if question may not be in the right place, anyone here trusts g2a for ffxiv gametime?
it probably put it on your hotbar automatically though
g2a products generally work but their company is shady as hell
No. G2A has been known as a key reseller site and is not reliable or recommended.
damn
you might have gotten your first Role Action, those are in the Actions & Traits menu
@proud willow yesss thats actually what happened lol thank you
Every purchase on g2a is a gamble. I will say I haven't won the lottery, but minimizing your chances is probably for the best. I would never recommend a reseller of controversial credibility to consistently buy from
what is true north ? like the raid tactic i guess
i see it in e5 description all the time
Any orientation will be done with north if the arena as where you off from
Instead of orientating from the boss position
ok
so you would start from the north and go down for positions ?
yes
sorry if I'm interrupting but can we expect a 5.3 trailer in the next 2 weeks?
we don't know rift
(true north is the far inferior strat cause of melee uptime)
You still need to orientate yourself regardless of the strat
ok
Spear 6 in True north and spear 6 in boss relative will change
Depending where ramuh jumps
is there a command for the pagos map for the kupo bot?
Alright fed my chocobo all the fruit again but paid attention to the messages + used the checklist on the calculator. Let's hope it's soot black this time.
we do, yes its !faq eurekapagos @lyric warren
Can I change from disciple of magic to war ?
Once you finish the level 10 class quest, you can switch to any class you want
You can be literally every job in the game
Will it explain how to go from magic to war ? Am I at a disadvantage because I chose a character w more magic stats
No
your stats change with your class
Ooooo!!!! Yeeeeeessss thanks again guys
There is no "character stats" or level, its all job based
how do i unlock blue mage?
In limsa
Yee
post arr completion?
Just Arr base done
If I buy shadowbringer on Ps4 and PC can i play my toon on both platform?
oof niceeee

yes
Provided yoy have the base game on both
If I was KOd where do you fix your gear or do you fix it yourself ?
as long as u use the same square enix acc
yes
You need everything again
oh shb
i think everything agqin
People are saying 2 different things lol
hello where can I find FATE "Brick by Brick" ?
since its license of 2 dif platforms
You need the base game and Shadowbringers on whatever device you want to play on
Aaah i thought base came with shadowbringer
Having just Shadowbringers on one device wont let you play
It doesn't
Base is just ARR
Gotcha thanks
when do I use heated shots instead of heat blast + ricochet/gauss round?
When drill/air anchor has more than 8s cooldown
I bought it on ps4 and I'm having a hard time learning how to play with a controller but 100$ to get it on PC is expensive 😫
it's not 100$
@nova umbra full answer
controller gets easy when you setup your cross hotbar nicely
@molten spruce in having a hard time targetting properly
How do I access the Dragon Quest Quest?
To this day i have no idea how people heal on controller. Its inconceivable to me.
targetting is tough, use top and bottom arrows for ally, left and right fpor enemies
That sounded weird...
@faint flare What is HC?
Yea thats what ive been doing
Hypercharge
and ypu target directly where your toon is facing
healing on controller isnt hard
To be fair, I have no idea how people play on KBM either
^
@buoyant monolith Speak to Havak Alvak at 12.1, 8.2 in Ul'dah
How do you have enough fingers or reach to handle 15-20 high frequency actions
@remote lintel healing isn't. For me it's healing and maximizing DPS that's hard
you spam one button until you need to heal
Thank ya
For controller healing, a neat trick is to use soft targetting
You can hold a trigger and use L1/R1 to swap targets
but triggers are for hotbars no?
If you press dpad down or up to pick a party member but doesn't press X to lock in your target, after using 1 spell or ability on this party member, you will go back to your original target.
nvm, bumpers
That's soft targeting, works on enemies too
But still saying Dragon Quest Quest sounded weird...
Pressing X before using spell/ability will lock you to the new target
i dont think i even use soft targeting
That's good to know, thanks guys
I personally super hate it and makes stuff feel clunky
A use case for soft targeting:
Casting stone on boss
Dpad down to pick tank (and resist the urge to press X)
Use a healing spell or ability
Cast stone (no other input needed)
do you have to have that enabled or something
under?
wait, can i fix targetting config as to where one button targets dps only?
I don't think so, but I cannot be sure about targeting Dps only
Like "switch target circle to target select"
that would be helpful for left eye
Dpad up twice will loop you around and bring you to the bottom of the list
dpad up is myself
For stuff like Left eye i just use a targetting macro
So what would be easier, tanking or healing with a controller
whatever class you're more comfortable with
/ac "Dragon Sight" <PARTY SLOT NUMBER>
/ac "skill here" <8>
only thing is most likely you have to play claw position
Repeat line as necessary
anyone know why i'm getting this error message? i bought the game a long time ago and i want to start playing with my new PC
The 8 is the 8th player on your party
did you add game time
well how do i know 8 will not be a tank
well how do i know 8 will not be a tank
@molten spruce the default sort is you, tank, healer, dps
ohhhhh
@hallow grove did you buy game time
ok so what exactly is the macro writing?
<1-8> targets those slots on the party list
Its saying to use Dragon sight on whatever party slot you put
you need to have a running subscription to login at all
So using default sorting, 2 and 3 would be the tanks in an 8-man party, assuming you’re not a tank.
So /ac dragon sight <4> will always use Dragon sight on the 4th party slot
And for the DPS it goes in order of melee > ranged > caster
ok so should i put 4 in the macro? in case i wanna use it in 4 man content?
Yes
should be 5
Yes. Cause then its always the dps
oh for 4 man
In 4mans
Yeah
Nope
Yeah it’d be a healer
So you would need another for 8mans
Since you are a Dragoon, 2-3 would be tank, 4-5 would be healer
what's better, block rate or block strength?
Doesn't matter
Doesn't matter at your current level
Pick the highest ilvl shield
Doesn’t matter, shields will eventually have equal amounts of both
alright, thanks
They stop varying once you’re in heavensward patch story
and switch around each content?
So you would need another for 8mans
@faint flare
You actually need 4. For 4, 6, 7, 8
You could change your sorting so that DPS appear top of the list
i might do 1 for 4man, 1 for 8man, 1 for 24man
ohhhh yes that would work vinyl
where do i do that?
In the context of dragon eye buff, 8 man is the same as 24 man
24 man would be the same as 8 man
I think in UI settings
Alliance raid is 3 parties of 8 players
Character config and i think in one of the tabs un Ui
ahh true
You don't go and buff other parties
Is there any settings i should change to make tanking easier with a controller?
Not really
i cant find the sorting setting
Aside from the soft targeting I mentioned earlier, this is good to cast some defensive skill on your co-tank when they needed some
well yes izabel, your hotbar settings
character config > ui > party list
ok fixed
@molten spruce not sure what you mean other then being comfortable with my abilities?
send the macro script pls
/ac "Dragon Sight" <PARTY SLOT NUMBER>
@sonic dew you can make oit as to you dont have to press R1 and other button to switch bars and then the same to go back, you make it easier, you can do as R2+L2 is one bar L2+R2 is another L2+L2 another R2+R2 another bar
super easy
looks confusing ik
Oh yea i did that :)
General purposes QoL: use a large size normal hotbar to store some of your important cooldown ability. Think of it as a dashboard.
You don't press skills from that, just use it to keep track of your abilities with a single glance
so #1 is me right? i should put #2 if my dps are top list? @faint flare
Yes
Then it should always be a dps with party sort going Dps > others > others
General purposes QoL: use a large size normal hotbar to store some of your important cooldown ability. Think of it as a dashboard.
@warped nest I did that already :)
@faint flare now i have the same prob as earlier, icon isnt showing, it shows an 'M'
@sonic dew then we don't have much left to help on tanking with controller
Ummm... Keep most of your bread and butter skills on the face button so you can use them while moving is all I have left tbh
Add it under the action
micon not MIcon
And yeah, case sensitive
Macros basically put stuff in chat for you really fast
Cause if you typed /ac Skill name into chat it will actually use that skill
Macros run down each line 1 frame at a time
please explain the way loot works for eden savage
You have 1 CHANCE to loot as much or as little as you want
You also get 1 book per week om your clear
If you skip a floor you lose all loot rights to the floors you skipped, including the book.
Regardless how much you get, you cannot receive loot on further clear and you penalises the number of chests
So if you don’t complete E5S-E7S and simply enter an E8S party you lose all loot rights to the earlier floors
Doesn’t matter if you cleared that E8S or not.
And like wynme said, you can't skip floots without losing loot. You lose loot rights the moment you enter the instance
There's a giant red warning on the duty pop up
Telling you this
I just started heavensward msq at mnk lvl 65, i wanna get to idyllshire but im guessing its some quests away, should i just keep over leveling my monk or should i get another class and do hw msq with it?
I'd get another class
You can grab samurai in Ul’dah, they start at 50 and share the same gear as monk minus weapon
Yes space
or red mage
Nice ill do sam then, sounds good
Can someone help
What do you need help with?
So the game is downloaded on steam with all expansions. I go to load FF14 online and it just tries to go load the next dlc
I’m ready for action
Steam downloaded the launcher
Any fix?
the launcher installs the game
No, cause you haven't downloaded the game
Only the launcher
Just wait for the download to finish
Mmos work differently than other games
You download a launcher
Not the actual game
The launcher downloads the game
Nothing is wrong
how do people get the rp icon next to their name?
The folder has ffxunimstaller, a boot folder, a game folder, and an instal prompt
@fervent silo target yourself, click edit search info
so after you log in to the launcher it says the launcher is downloading something?
What's wrong with running the game from Steam?
Shouldn't that handle everything for you?
There's aloooot more files coming son
I hit play a screen comes up with the product codes again
Because you are supposed to register your product
just exit that window since you already applied them
I did
Launch it again
Now log in
log in
ooooooof, i really be out here refreshing trying to join the Siren server 💀🤦🏻♀️
wait until like 3 am
Now it stars downloading shadowbringers
Yes
so let it download
Okay so I need to let them all download?
Yes
yes because you bought dlc
Is there a way to delete the log file directly from ACT ?
Yeah I got them all I just thought I could kinda play a bit while it downloaded. So I wait until they all do?
yes you wait
Okay thanks guys
Starter Edition has most of the content from all the expansion: weapons, mounts, armors, spells.
In halls options pro switch controller or mouse and keys
Because it is possible to met players with these content even with a new character
Currently your launcher is grabbing stuff like Maps, quest lines, NPC, etc etc for the Heavensward, Stormblood, and Shadowbringers expansion
control style is personal preference
From what this community has told@me it seems the first whole of this game is essentially a main line title
Is that accurate?
They both very very comparable and you cant tell the difference when you see people play
It is a single player RPG with coop dungeons essentially
You can form party to do quests
But the cutscene will only acknowledge you
And you alone
This fucking shit is gonna drown me
Any astro mains?
Do you pick a character and a role when you start?
@cloud lake yes
I got a question
how do you make cards stick into your job quest thing?
But I was told anyone can be anyone
For divination
you need to be in combat

not necessarily
Always throw combust first
you just have to cast something
Was trying to practice it to make sure I understood it
@topaz hornet you can have all classes on one character yes
Then play cards after?
Yes
yes
alright ill try it thanks

Always remember to throw a combust on mobs before playing cards
Gives you time to weave them anyway
Where do i go to get puff puff?
you get the quest from next to the chocobo porter in ul'dah
K
what's some cheap healer food that I should be using for progressing in savage?
Does every expansion download slower than gaggle or tortious?
you're downloading like 4 years worth of content
@nova umbra I think Pixieberry Tea or something like that was somewhat cheap when I bought some a few weeks ago
@nova umbra if you can't afford herring pie or stuffed highland cabbagem can look at kukuru rusk or robe lettuce salad
Hmm... Can I just confirm, for WHM, in order of "use first" Tetra -> Afflatus -> Bene?
or should I slap a cure II before the Bene
is there something coming up that you absolutely need to save bene for
if yes, then yeah sure put bene last
if not, then no use bene before afflatus unless you're going to overcap on lilies or something
i see. what do you consider "need to save" ?
tankbuster
Like, someone is nearly dead?
I thought tankbusters could be covered by a Tetra?
Like, adequately covered, I mean
is there a tankbuster coming where you know your tank is probably going to use their cd like holmgang or living dead on
assuming you used everything else
I see. can I keep Bene for things like big pulls? Like just keep Holy-ing till almost dead
then drop a Bene
yes
holding onto bene for a "What if someone gets super low" especially during dungeons is dumb
never too risque
that said you do need to keep in mind bene's animation
so don't let the tank get too low before you use it because there's a good chance that they'll die before it actually goes off
I generally treat Bene as a really big cure 2 in casual content
If I know I’m gonna subscribe to the game should I just buy it now vs hit the trial cap at 35? Are there any advantages disadvabtes
You can join an FC if you buy the game.
Does anyone know how i can get back to the ruby sea?
is the party finder searching automatically?
I get the "87 parties match your search criteria" message every so and then
I have an ongoing quest there but teleported elsewhere, can't seem to find the boat to get there since there's no aetheryte over there to teleport to
I think you just walk off the end of the pier?
There's no real difference
Or which city you like best. Or which leader you like best
@leaden ginkgo it seems like it yeah, it updates you with parties currently finding duties that matches your current role and level
Same lol
I think I'm going crazy googling this and not finding an answer. Is there a way to changing where FFXIV installs the game? It keeps reinstalling it in my old folder and I can't launch it from my new SSD. I can't figure out at all where to edit the install path? o .o
I always choose Serpents because Gridania is my home point.
also it's stupid easy to access both the GC and marketboard
@vocal glacier i think steam handles that
@vocal glacier Have you tried deleting the old folder completely and doing a clean reinstall?
Gridania is so crowded
i go there and i cant even see my character when i spawn
xD
Limsa ain't gonna be much better.
I am doing an clean install. The System info shows /d/ and I have already changed the path to /p/ on steam.
Keeps creating a new install even with the launcher installed in /p/ where steam puts it.
Hmm, you might need someone who knows more about the Steam install process. I play on PS4 so the assistance I might potentially provide is limited at best.
Uhh... @little swift or @tender estuary maybe?
are you positive its in the exact folder
It's installing in D:\ when I have changed it to P:\ on steam.
are you sure thats the game itself?
damn how many drives you got
jk
yeah steam doesnt handle the download
HDD/Windows/SDD.
it just downloads the client
you can always just move the contents of the folder over to whatever drive you want
should work just fine
I'm surprised it doesn't ask you to specify a location for the download.
Steam is downloading the client into P just fine. But then the launcher creates a new folder back in D again.
The reason I started all of this is because doing that still started a new update.
Tho the client itself
is it just storing temporary files there, maybe?
There's some stuff stored in the Windows registry about the game path. You might need to uninstall the launcher instead of just moving it
Any idea where it is in the register? I can just change that.
might be easier just to wipe the whole install with something like revo
If you can't find a better way to accomplish it, there's also the option of using a Directory symbolic link (effectively a shortcut but for a folder instead of a file)
and then try all over, revo removes all registry entries and temp files
trick the game into thinking the files are on one drive while they're actually on another
@tender estuary My issue seems to be when I do copy it over, it still starts up a new install, or launches from the old harddrive instead of the new path.
thats an option too
Computer\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\WOW6432Node\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\{2B41E132-07DF-4925-A3D3-F2D1765CCDFE} is where mine is. Though that's for the Windows version and the GUID probably won't be the same
I just searched for "FINAL FANTASY XIV ONLINE" until finding it
It could also be in the \Documents\My Games\ stuff but I didn't see anything suspicuous in there
Can you still buy the individual expansions?
It's not about the documents folder itself Dainichi
@spare plinth Not really...? You only need to buy Shadowbringers to get them all though
the my documents content is always gonna be on your primary drive cause thats where the user is
I'ma just try out that revo uninstaller and a total fresh install.
I just want it to work. I don't mind waiting. 😛
that doesnt contain really any game data just has character data with your UI and stuff and screenshots
yeah weird that steam cant control where u install urs tho
cus mine installed where i wanted it to be

The documents folder holds stuff like keybindings and stuff. I went through all the configs looking for install path.
The only place I could find a path was the uninstall registry entry. So unless it's in an encrypted file somwhere... 🤷♂️
I couldn't find the system info install path at all in the registry so I just gave up.
At what time should I pick up other classes/jobs?
Whenever you begin to get bored of the one you're currently playing.
Alright. I've made it through SB without asking. HOW?!
Oh.
And regarding DoH/DoL jobs, should I pick all of them up? Or the ones I need the most for my jobs?
Usually most people either do none of them or all of them. They all kind of support each other.
All of them, since you'll need the others later to craft stuff. They all intersect.
Alright. All of them have to be maxed out? Or be on a certain level for the more important stuff?
They start intersecting around level 30
There's small pegs on one of the pillars that you can jump up @vagrant copper
@tender estuary A quick revo uninstall and it's working perfectly now.
sweet
They're pretty damn small, easily missed
SB really upped the difficulty with the vistas and aether currents
I still need to get flying in 2 of the zones
That moment you realize you've deleted all your screen shots...
So I learned FFXIV has triple triad which is one of my favourite memories. For the free trial since it goes to level 35, am I still able to play triple triad quite a bit without having to subscribe? Or is it only unlocked for subscribers
You should be able to play it as you can go to the gold saucer
Do people really farm The Great Hunt anymore?

unsyncing itis fine
Extreme.
About to make an PF for it.
And unlike other trials, you can't actually get the mount from a drop right? You gotta farm all totems?
Rarer than doggos?
Its probably like the doggo original drop rate before any drop rate buffs
Lots of pink trees in the First.
And some weather phenomenon can cause unusual sky colors.
there is an area on map that is called '???' wtf is that
and also 'far east', how do i select that area? or norvrandt
in casual/levelling dungeons, how do I know if I'm overhealing?
short of just using ACT
If they're topped up after you heal, you're overhealing
Ideally, you'd never hit 100%. Just leave them at 99% or lower
Thanks @faint flare 🙂
the ??? section of the map is literally for anything that doesn't fit in current zones @molten spruce
namely its the return to ivalice raids
Hmm.. alright. as a follow-up, if a DPS takes like.. 50% hp damage, does Regen usually suffice?
So im gonna start a new class, how can i save my current hotbar config from my main class?
or do I need to spend a lily/tetra on them
On pc
All classes have different hotbars so you don't have to worry about it
Ah nicee thx
I'm being told that you can't get any drops from the Great Hunt i fyou are unsynced.
This true?
no, you can get drops from it unsync
the scale/mount comes from carving the tail which is basically the "boss chest" for that dungeon
I thought the mount was in a chest if it showed up
and carving is only for the scales
oh? i could've sworn it was from carving as well
I've never seen one drop so I wouldn't know first-hand
So what's that mean then?
regardless, you can get it unsynced
it doesn't change the fact that you can get it unsync
Also, seems MTQcapture never put up a video for Rath extreme
so huh, whats a good melee class to start on ? i'm a tank main and getting used to positionals while keeping track of samurai's rotation is a bit rough
It can rarely be in the chest
But I’ve only seen it in one chest after like 60 clears
Most chests had Poogie and/or the music
Which is unfortunate because Mrhappy always seems more concerned about getting strategy videos out as soon as possible rather than making sure that the strategies in his videos are the best strategy.
Rath for the most part boils down to “if he turns to you run left/right”
And once you’re in phase two literally never be in front of him and he won’t hit you
how do I utilize this if I can’t put it in a hot bar
You access it through Egi Assault 1
Thank you again
Same with the level 40 ability and Egi Assault 2, and the level 50 ability and Enkindle (as summoner)
How do you buy the Shire gear equivalent for Stormblood?
It's called Scaevan Gear, and it's in Rhalgr's Reach
oh my mistake didnt know I needed to clear Stormblood
Requires to you clear 4.0 proper. To be precise, the quest called Stormblood, yeah.
When do i replace ironworks armor
I just hit level 10 who do I go to so I can switch from magic to war ?
Level 54 HQ vendor gear or 55 dungeon gear
@orchid bone complete your level 10 class quest
Where do you buy lvl 54 hq gear
All the story geae im getting post arr ia butt cheeks
Oh then don’t worry
Gear*
Hi, Im new to this game and new to the MMO genre. Are there any general tips I should be knowing go forward?
Do msq and job quests
!faq newplayertipd
!faq newplayertips
thank you! ❤️
Hi, is there a way to have the launcher remember your password?
No sadly you have to remember by heart and memory
damn... I really hate having passwords I even know
Where’s the brick by brick fate located at?
I’d say dragoon and samurai are similarly easy to pick up
DRG has one rotation set in stone. It’s the most rigid of all melee. Easiest to learn imo since all you need is to memorize one long combo.
Though dragoon (lancer) starts at level one rather than dumping all the skills on you at 50
samurai feels rough cause of all the ogcds that you can use and double weaving in 2secs can be tough too
im t lvl 71 sam rn
at*
maybe juste because i'm still unsure what to use when so i hesitate and have a scuffed weaving
i'm a PLD main on e8, trying to pickup samurai so i have to get used to positionals and a new rotation
Can some one please tell me where each Brick by Brick FATE quest is located?
Samurai don’t double weave
ok that's what i thought
@buoyant monolith https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/special/2020/Theres_Golems_in_Those_Hills/ Pick a location
and when you have extra kenki, just throw some hissatsu?
Also some skills like the Kenki-spending gap closer and backstep aren’t used as part of your rotation
yeah obv, but to make it sound simpler, keep kaiten for midare and guren?
Kaiten doesn't buff Guren
Kaiten ALL your iaijutsu, so Higanbana, Tenka Goken, and Midare
Kaiten for Higanabana or Midare. Anything else is effectively a waste of Kaiten.
Tenka in 2+ targets ofc

Oh yeah true that too for AoE
Higanbana is your highest potency Weaponskill
Kaiten only buff weaponskill and it works out that it is worth it for all the iaijitsu
Kaiten buffs the dot damage
ohh kk
The main ud’dala overworld looks deferent why is that?
What do you mean @buoyant monolith
and thats weird, someone said kaiten doesnt buff guren ?
It doesnt
Guren isn’t a Weaponskill
Some of the leyout looks like Dragon Quest
Dragon quest event ongoing, pick up quest “Breaking Brick Mountains” in Ul’dah Steps of Nald to participate
when's the optimal time to use Shisui, when you still have 2 buffs running, just insta 3 stacks and kaiten-midare ?
The optimal way (last I check) is to use meikyo shisui to build your flower and moon Sen because they come from 3 step combo
You have snow from Hakaze + Yukikaze then you build flower and moon from Meikyo. Use a Kaiten + Midare etc. Then build a flower or moon (depending on which one doesn't need refresh right away)
yeah, i would guess one of the 2 > dot > get 2 other 3 steps combos
