If you were a healer then thry might of wiped
My only FFXIV purchase was the complete edition yesterday
I spawned into gridania
edit ur char once lv 50?
Did you not buy FFXIV on Steam?
The Starter Edition I mean
Then they either kicked you or finished the dungeon
;-;
apparently not?
If you have never purchased the Steam Start Edition, then what is stopping you from buying that?
Wait
and i honestly have no idea
i'm very very confused
and none of this makes sense
What does it say in your purchase history?
The only ff14 purchase was yesterday
even going back to 2013 i never bought FFXIV on steam
Take a screenshot of it
despite it being in my library
just checking shadowbringer standard edition comes with the old dlcs as well right?
Yes
yes
ok ty
Wasn't there a Steam promotion relatively recently that gave Steam players a free copy of the starter edition?
i'm not sure how to screenshot my entire purchase history
Just take a screenshot of the purchase yesterday
Recently, that was on PS4
Right. PS4 not Steam
not sure if it was ever given away for free on Steam. I know Heavensward was but I'm not 100% sure
Ok
then yeah you didn't buy the complete edition. You bought Shadowbringers.
Yeah
i tried to buy the complete edition tbf but it wouldn't let me
Cause you already owned the base game and registered it somewhere
hello, is it possible to create a macro that confirms/accepts?
Confirms or accepts what?
like I want to be able to play with my PS4 controller one handed, but there's no way to set the left analogue stick to confirm/accept
like if I wanna talk to an NPC
I can select them with the D Pad but have to press X to talk
It makes me really mad that i can't even rebuy the starter edition on steam
as far as I'm concerned it basically ate money
so is there a way to make a macro that is pretty much just "press X"?
when you beat the base game
You get one as a quest reward from clearing the base 2.0 MSQ
help, i can't trade my gear, i traded it 2 times before but now it doesnt let me
More than that and you'll need to buy one from Mogstation for 10 USD
@vivid wolf You get one for free for beating ARR (2.0), and you can buy additional ones for irl money from the shop.
So after "the ultimate weapon"?
@leaden ginkgo Trade what gear to whom?
so is there a way to make a macro that is pretty much just "press X"?
yes baguette
@leaden ginkgo Did you use the gear at all in between the trades? If you killed something with it, it's now bound to you and is untradeable.
oh š¦
Same if you glamoured with it
yeah i killed something with it
Alright, 3 quests to go
@leaden ginkgo gear binds to you when you wear it in battle (or crafting/gathering)
i spent like 500K on them on a lvl 1 character, now its all to waste
Or when your glamour it
so is there a way to make a macro that is pretty much just "press X"?
Why a waste?
@foggy finch No, what you're trying to do is a mechanical thing, not a software thing.
I see
So you can't macro it.
because i was gonna test certain appearances so i made a lvl 1
well the X button is mapped to confirm
so what I'd like is a macro to confirm
but now my gear is stuck on it
Have you tried going into your controller settings to remap?
Without binding you could buy gear on the MB, glamour it to something then resell it
it will only allow certain buttons to be mapped to certain commands
would break the economy lol
You can try on gear before buying it
Is there a posibility of transfering stuff from one character to another ( same account ) but on diff worlds?
No
also Code Lyoko FTW @fresh lodge
You need a third party to transfer items
Not without a middle man
Only via an intermediary
Thanks 
heheh
ah and if i had a middle man, would it still be transferable even when its used in battle?
no
No
Bound is bound
Once itw bound its stuck forever
No, once something is bound to a character, it can't be transferred off that character anymore.
that sucks
Else gear would stay in the economy forever and eventually become cheaper than the materials used to make it
Isn't that already the case? D:
I hardly ever find gear that's not cheaper than its components...
Levelling gear sells for a lot, like 50k+ per piece
probably varies per server but it feels like I can't buy levelling gear for less than 200k per set, if I look for it on the MB

u've gotta be kidding me
okay so i removed FFXIV from my account
I bought the standard edition
i try to create a new account, and enter a new code
"The entered code has already been registered."
i literally just bought this code
Removed FFXIV from which account?
Bought Standard from where?
Registered to which account? Same account as earlier or no?
i removed FFXIV from my steam account
i made a new square enix account
I bought FFXIV starter edition on steam as shown above
I click play on steam
I try to register the new code it gave me
and this is the error i get
why didn't you register it to mog station
How did you "remove FFXIV" from your steam account?
Did the code actually change? I don't think you can get a new CD key that way
Its an option in account settings
i guess it didn't
Are you sure you're using the right key>?
this is really frustrating
Probably should just contact support
i did
i'm just gonna fight for refunds on everything
it'd be easier to do that than actually play the game
don't think that's gonna work since it says not eligible for a refund on the store page
Don't do a chargeback
yea well I legitimately cannot play the game
but good luck and sorry that happened
is there are pvp guide somewhere
Are you
Refund has a POTENTIAL to happen if I contac tthe right people
Just talk to support about it
Absolutely certain itās the right key
And that youāre putting it in the right place
it just ate my money
did you try mog station
yes
How long does it take to get edenchoir gear? Is it 8 weeks for 1 piece ?
if your rng is real bad yeah
you can run them as many times as you want but only loot once per week?
Sorta
If you donāt win roll ever, you can buy with pages. Different slots require different numbers of pages.
You're going to screw people if you join another party if you already cleared that week
Edenchoir is one shot at loot per week. Get nothing, then too bad, better luck next week
As the amount of gear that drops is based off how many people have already cleared
You gey 1 chance if loot per week
And you cant roll on further clears
Or receive books
Got it! So clear everything once and hope for loot if not wait till reset.
Ty!
Apart from practice
Yeah that
Which is usually code for parse run
Or helping friends (if they're OK with losing a chest or two because of your presence)
whats faster way to level up redoing dungeons or doing main quest cuz i rly want to become dragoon as quick as possible š
Main Quest is the best way to level up your first class
well you can't become a dragoon without getting to a certain point in the msq
is there a phone number i can contact steam with at all?
No
Been 6 days and none of my itemsā spirit bond has reached 100%, am I missing something?
Are you running appropriately levelled content?
im at that point
Are you doing stuff with them? What level are they?
Needs to be content the level of your gear or higher
No, I occasionally queue for level 70 trials for practice
i483 AS> Are you doing stuff with them? What level are they?
@vagrant copper
AST*
It only spiritbonds fast if you do content that requires said iLv
Level 70 content aināt gonna give you anything
For iLv480 that's like, Ruby Weapon EX, Memoria EX, Eden's Verse Savage
oh....
which one is the easiest between the 3? I recently cleared stormblood extremes and gained much needed mechanical experience
memoria
Ruby definitely
I had more trouble in memoria than E5-6S combined and cleared Ruby in 2 lockouts
depends on the person I guess lol
Its definitely Ruby Weapon
which one between ruby and memoria has consistently-patterned mechanics? (low randomness) because I study a lot first before going in, randomness is a no-no for me
all fights are scripted
Ruby Weapon
Ruby is more scripted
Perfect
Memoria in phase 2 has like 3 different "blocks" of mechanics that come in a random order iirc
Though there isn't a point in doing Ruby Weapon for the gear anymore
Just get the Relic
I need to improve my adaptability first before jumping in to hard-random fights, unfortunately
hi, is there any region server diffrence like, if my account is argentine can am i still in the same server with EU or is it diffrenated
there are no random fights
you can play on any server on any account type
Fights are scripted but things can be different
But there isn't a truly random fight
so the only difference with different country account is billing ?
is there any way to contact steam support directly?
this is seriously fucking absurd
i was robbed of $40
Billing and account licences. If you buy a EU version of FFXIV, you need to buy EU expansions
thank you
Whats the macro to change glam plates?
Are ruby weapons dye-able?
Nope
Left side iLv480 armor with 5 materia slots
Do they drop on the first clear? And do all players get them? Or is there the ātotemā system?
Ruby Weapon drops iLv485 weapons with 2 slots, a crafting material, the music scroll for it or a mount
Got it. Thank you both
It drops random coffers and gives you 2 tokens. iirc it's 3 tokens for Head/Hands/Boots and 5 tokens for Body/Legs
hey my friend has a bit of a problem I'd like to know if anyone could help him with
So are anima weapons this games version of like a long term investment to unlock?
relic weapons in general Sammy
Kinda poorly worded on my part hope the message got across
anima are a relic weapon
Anima weapons are very shiny weapons that take a long time to grind for. They were good during their expansion but now they're only good for the looks
He's got really slow internet, and the launcher keeps crashing when he's trying to install the game
and they don't necessarily take super long
I came from guild wars 2 and it has legendary weapons that takes months to unlock, was curious if anima was the equivalent more or less
I got my anima in like a week or less
Definitely doesn't take months but it's not quick either
is there some way to download the game wholesale outside the launcher, then install it?
@tardy cove check if he updated internet explorer?
Clear cache in internet explorer yeah, might help
The game's launcher runs in Internet Explorer, that's why lol
how to lvl up chocobo? its "rdy to lvl" after putting in fc stable*
do i have to go kill a mob w it
Anyone who's experienced with smn that can explain what to do with dreadwyrm trance when you first get it?
Kathy, yes, you have to go gain at least 1 XP for it to level
(well, the chocobo has to gain it)
š ty ā¤ļø
Basically, join a FATE, bop an enemy, and you should be good
@azure kettle you basically use it to reset tri disaster
Then use deathflare right after?
At 70+ you'll wanna use it on cooldown to get Bahamut off as much as possible.
I do, I'm lvl 62
you can leave DWT running for a while if you need the instant casts and Deathflare sometime before it ends
So trance, tri, deathflare for that ability until bahamut is a thing?
noob question, how do I go to the plots 31-60?
Use an aetheryte to tele to any subdivision aetheryte
Use the aetheryte network and pick one of the "Subdivision" ones
curiosity
are apartments also in subdivisions?
How does Stat Sync work?
it's dwt > enkindle > fester + tri disaster > deathflare with gcds in between @azure kettle
Yes there's also appartments in subdivisions
Yeah it is
oh shit. im all turned around now
Stat sync puts you at somewhat the maximum item level required for the instance and ignores materia
Well more like rotated 90 degrees
Thanks friends
Gotchas
I say somewhat because having higher level gear will still make a difference
just, very little difference, but you can notice it when looking at tank HP for example
if you get in an alexander raid, one of the tanks is in lv67 levelling gear and one is in lv80 gear, the lv80 tank will have more HP
cause scaling is a bit exponential and not dead on
It caps after a while too, it's reaaaally weird
a11 pun not intended
Also
I know the answer
but i have to ask
...Atma farming literally is just
Do Fates
ANY Fates
Until you get it?
any fates in the area of the atma you want
Yes
not all areas have atmas
Make sure you have the relic equipped
I would assume so? But I've never tried it. š¤
I think so, I did Atmas this weekend and none of the ones I did dropped it
But it could've been RNG
Also in addendum
Cus i am actually curious
How does... Glamours for Relics work, like Zodiac?
Can you rebuy em?
Do you have to redo it?
Can't project them. Need the replicas.
Once you're done with the Zeta step you'll get access to replicas, which you can buy for gil
But you unlock the replicas as you progress the chain
or at least if I remember correctly, you can't buy replicas before Zeta
For ARR you can buy a replica of each step once you complete the Zeta
all steps iirc
How do I turn off UI elements to make my screen clear
Scroll Lock turns everything off by default
I suppose good side wonder
For Zodiac and Anima... do you get 'catch ups' for the other weapons?
Usually no
You can turn in a Zeta to skip the first step of the anima
....but that takes like an hour at most anyway
There's nothing like this for any other relics
More trouble than it's worth. Even when it was current. But, yeah, Zeta > Anima was the only one that did that.
or do you mean weapons in the same chain?
Nah for like
yeah the relics are all separate
The other jobs

Oh no old relics were not added for new jobs
No i mean like
Like for example, the BLM Zeta and the PLD Zeta?
yahyah
What is scroll lock ?
asking to not redo the ENTIRE thing
It gets faster cause you unlock some stuff quicker
Ah, no. Each one has to be done from the top.
But you still have to do everything
Gotta EARN IT
@drifting atlas a key on your keyboard
slump
Thanks though
Like for ARR relics you can do Books and the quests for the Zeta relic that usually come later at the same time
clear a dungeon once to tick it off 2 things at the same time
But first time around you gotta wait
And Anima, there's some materials you can only buy with Poetics once you get there, but if you've already done one, you can buy everything in advance
For Eureka, after you've already levelled to 60 you've got the hard part done and other relics are a LOT faster since all you gotta do is farm the materials
no levels or logos actions to grind anymore
how to get glamour prism?
Bought with GC Seals or crafted from Clear Prisms
grand company seals
Clear Prisms drop from chests from time to time
so i cant buy them :/
you can from the mb
You can buy from market
but i wouldn't suggest it
Then the only real way would get clesr prisms and craft them up
I think the rank to buy them from grand company might be locked by dungeons trial cant get to
then ill just buy the game after i reach lvl 35
Umm, my keyboard doesn't have scroll lock
But not sure
ah also whats grand company?
You can always rebind it in the settings @drifting atlas
a thing you join once you get far enough in msq
Grabd company, Immortal flames, twin adders or.maelstorm
what?
You pick one to join after fighting ifirit
i fought him minute ago
Grand Companies are organizations that players will join at around level 20 by completing the main story quests. There are three grand companies, The Maelstrom from Limsa Lominsa, The Immortal Flames from Ul'dah, and The Order of the Twin Adder from Gridania.
is it just me or is SAM quite hard?
Doesn't matter
maelstorm seems cool
it's just the default gear for now
Your accessories are probably poor
are you doing your combos in the right order to get symbols?
tbf it's probbly me just being confused by the gazilion new abils
theres not really a gazillion
doubt i'm doing the right combos
it feels like there are quite a few abils that serve little no to purpose
no?
All of them are used
what abilities do you think are useless
Name skills you think are useless and we'll tell you why they're not
guess i'm gonna look up a guide or something
The gap closer and back step are kind of niche, sure, but everything else gets used frequently.
You go through your combos, starting with Shifu combo then Jinpu and finish with Yuki
And rotate through them
Finishing a combo gives you a sticker
And the number of stickers you habe changes what iajutsu does
oh wait nvm it was a role skill
lmfao
1 stick is a minute long dot, keep this up all the time
2 stickers is a aoe, use in aoe
Role skills generally aren't useless either
Leg Sweep is niche but it's not useless
3 stickers are a big single target, use when the dot is already on the mob
And thats basically lv50 samurai basics
(Also I find it really funny that Larry's branding the seals as stickers as a term actually stuck)
Those are your Kenki skills
Hissatsu uses Kenki which you gain by attacking
At 52 you get positionals to give you kenki
Which you spend on those skills
Kaiten is ALWAYS used on Iajutsus
I have a small house now and thinking of trying to get a medium house. Do you just pay the difference in plot prices when upgrading?
Hey guys, trying to get into raiding. How does the raid reward cap works in the game?
SAM becomes a job that focuses on resource management. Those Hissatsu skills are how you spend your resource. You'll be getting a ton of it at higher levels.
Stuff is weekly locked
current tier is weekly locked
In savage you get 1 chance to loot as.much as.you want per.floor and you get a page in your.clear to buy gear
hi guys!! i'm really new and just got into final fantasy and online games in general because of a friend. i'm just here to ask if it's possible to buy final fantasy xiv if you live in malaysia?
i've done some googling but i'm still not really sure on what to do, sorry if this sounds really dumb :c
Trying to clear again will penalise and reduce the number.of chests that spawn
And you won't be able to.roll
ah I see! What about previous tiers? I'm at all 480 crafted gears right now, I'm trying to get 490. Is there a cap on that as well?
you get 490 gear from your allegory tomestones which are weekly capped
But no reason to run them other for glamour, the mount or unlocking ultimates
Hi all. I have a problem with logging in. I tried loggin in today and it said wrong password so I just changed my password. When I successfully change my password I still can not login ... I have tried this 5 times. What can I do ? : (
For the weapon I need the perdurable tomestone tho right?
Yes
for 490 yes
@silk yew You get a discount when relocating, yes, but it isn't exactly paying the difference. The formula is (Cost of Relocation) = (Destination Plot Price) ā (30% of Old Plot Price)
savage drops a 500 weapon
The blade from Normal mode is weekly locked
505*
right
Thank you!
But the tomestone drops.straight up from savage
Along with the upgrade foe it on the 3rd fight of the tier
So is the better way to go about getting 490 weapon just go to savage?
i think you need to clear the last floor of savage
oh ok
If you haven't, you can get an iLv485 relic that has 5 materia slots which is a good starter weapon
For an iLv490 weapon, you need 1000 Allegory and a weapon Tomestone, which you can get by either getting 7 Blades of Golden Antiquity (drops from E8 once a week) or getting it as a drop from E6 Savage
that's the resistance weapon right? I need to do the 24 men raid to unlock that quest I think, I'm too new for that heh...
To check - if I'm farming poetics, I know ARF is the best choice, but to alleviate the tedium, would Baelsar's and Ghimlyt provide the same amount of poetics?
alliance raids are casual content war
24mans are causal content
Oh?
They're basically 24man dungeons
savage raids are harder than alliance raids by a longshot
that's very different from WoW haha...
Don't know about Baelsar but I heard Ghimlyt is good
I was expecting alliance raid being the most difficult content in this game
No
nah that's ultimates
savage is the second hardest difficulty in the game
the only form of challenging content are savage and ultimates, normal mode raids and alliance ones are easy
Yeah 24-man raids are basically large scale dungeons with higher difficulty. But it's still meant to be easy enough to clear in one go.
theoretically they all give the same amount of poetics on completion, ish
They make mythic + look like baby mode
ahh iinteresting
I just didn't know if ghimlyt and baelsar's give poetics per boss too
Is it difficult to pug E6 Savage for the 490 gears?
If you haven't done Savage before, yes
or Extremes*
Or you lose loot
i'd also say e6 is the most annoying fight before E8 so you have that to contend with too
From skipped.floors
I just finished E1N last night and decided to get into raiding because it's really fun
oh god lol
If you skip E5S, you loose loot from E5s for the week
hey im scared i reported someone for the wrong reason, can i get punished? i wanted to report for toxicity but only option was RMT na i didnt know what it meant
Savage is much harder than normal mode. I'd recommend running some Extreme trials first to know what to expect from high end fights in this game, if you haven't
Is the lvl 52 job quest locked behind msq?
Does completing a normal mode in eden fight unlocks its savage mode?
yes
Oof
After youve done all 4 fights of that tier yes
once you finish a tier ( 4 raids) you get access to the savage version
@molten spruce You're supposed to report via the support desk for that kinda thing. RMT isn't the right option.
Ah I see
savage modes rarely have attack tells
you have to see what the boss is casting and remember the safe zones
@molten spruce You're supposed to report via the support desk for that kinda thing. RMT isn't the right option.
@median locust it was the only option there was and i thought RMT meant like misconduct or something
RMT = Real Money Trading
ok so the order here for me would be : push for Eden normal finish -> practice difficult fights in extreme trials -> start tackling Savage one by one
ohhh shiiizzz imma get banned
@feral drift that would be a good route
and find learning parties in party finder for savage
awesome. Is 480 a good enough gear set to start?
yes
As long as you're in full 480 and have your resistance weapon yes
I'd recommend you get the weapon first
it'll help
ok, gonna work on that this week
And it's super easy to get
also here's the savage version of the fight you just did in case you were curious 
::Final Fantasy XIV - Eden's Gate: Resurrection (SAVAGE) Raid Guide!
A quick overview of the new SAVAGE raid and boss, EDEN PRIME, guaranteed to get you through it!
Watch live on twitch: twitch.tv/mtqcapture !
Questions? Comments? Drop me a line and I'll get back to you!
...
that's what it looks like
gonna check it out now, thanks guys!!!!
also you don't have to do all the savage fights in order
like you don't need to do E1-4 Savage to start running E5-8 Savage
so you start with 5, then when you clear you can go onto 6, etc
ah, I see
If I would finish the resistance raids as a white mage, do I get the white mage relic? Or can I pick any relic?
You get it for whatever job you picked it up on
is it bad to tank when you are new to the fights?
No
in raiids I mean
Iām better as an AST but I donāt want to run into other ASTs, they always stack divination even if I warn them
Housing is still frozen, right?
Yes
Yes
yep
If you're more comfortable tanking, play tank
@feral drift depends, some tanks will have more mechanics depending on the fight
like for E1S you have to do that tank swap and get the dot and face the laser away, etc
ah I see
(but you shouldn't do E1S at this time)
no I think I'm gonna practice in extreme trials heh
There little to no point
thats fine
oh you meant specifically eden gate savage
@ionic hazel yes. Do daily stuff to get tomestones and $$$
And just upgrade as you go along
Yeah E1-4S give 470 gear which isn't good enough for how hard it would be to get a group to start learning them at this point in time
then yeah
Better to start with E5-8S
Awesome, you guys are super helpful. Would upvote if that's a thing haha
things mean
Eden 1
The current raid tier
End game fight
Eden is the current raid series
Eden 1 through 8
1 means first fight
The current raid tiers are usually abbreviated to a single letter followed by the floor of the raid.
A12S = 12th fight of the Alexander series, Savage difficulty
O6N = 6th fight of the Omega series, Normal difficulty
etc
A for Alexander. O for Omega. E for Eden. Then 1-12. An S denotes the Savage version.
what is the best class for solo POTD
Red Mage
RDM or PLD probably
where do i exchange my tomestones
for lvl 50 mor dhona
Mor Dhona
i mean, i can make lvl 1 rdm and instantly go to potd? im not sure how it works exactly
Rdm starts at 50
you take the red mage quest which will give you a lvl 50 red mage
then you can do potd with red mage
you can if you want to grom, but you'll probably want to premptively upgrade yhour aetherflow gear
If you're going to solo, make sure you have high aetherpool levels
aetherpool levels? i get that inside?
Ok so you're new to Palace of the Dead. Don't solo it.
It's extremely hard to solo
Yeah just que up for a 4 man
Just queue in matchmaking
Silver coffers within PoTD will increase either your weapon or armor level
where do i exchange tomestone of law
As a newbie to potd the most i could clear solo was like floor 7 as war
Law tomestones are exchanged at moogles in any major city
Theyāre always near the aetheryte plaza and they have a moogle icon above their heads
ah thanks
thank you guys for help btw!
You need to know how PotD works and have high aetherpool before even thinking of running it solo
No prob!
On the flipside, the title for clearing all 200 floors solo is one of the rarest titles in the game so there's that
"The Necromancer"
I can't even imagine try to get up to 200 solo right now. I get to about level 5 solo and hit a toad trap and rage quit
Hmm yes
There's guides on it around
i can clear hoh but by all accounts that's easier
yes
https://docs.google.com/document/d/e/2PACX-1vQpzFuhmSwTXuZSmtnKLNgQ0nRhumCFaB8NvCXFXSjrBHPRT5lXY8jMR4RaCK1aNfcl_G5ph5DNNwfl/pub
Gives you a rundown of every floor and what to watch out for
PotD solo is a lot of patience and RNG
The riding maps are somewhat functional but they're also going to be even more useless in the upcoming patch
I've been to HoH 84 solo but PotD is too long for me lol
is there like a leveling guide i can find somewhere?
Msq and roulettes
99% of the game is locked behind the main story quests so it's your primary way of gaining experience on your first job
oh
You cant skip the story unless you buy a story skip
Always check how close you are to the end before buying a story skip. I heard of someone that bought themselves out of ARR only 3 quests shy of Heavensward.
and
icons are what you should follow
if you start leveling alt jobs
!faq altlvlguide
principles to follow are in there
@vital lichen What's your current story quest
How do you perform skills in gpose?
I'm at the end of Shadowbringers myself, and I didn't skip a thing.
Who would want to skip that anyway?
I am, but he isn't doing the skill in the gpose.
If you wanna check where you're at you can always go here, press Ctrl-F and look for your current MSQ
https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Main_Scenario_Quests
I think he was telling the other guy not to buy a story skip until they know where they are in the story
ok I misread it
If ARR is dull, then Shadowbringers is :kreygasm:
For example I'm using the Jolt skill on the striking dummy, and going into the gpose, but he isn't doing the skill.
ARR isn't even dull, plot content wise
Ikr. I liked ARR.
Shadowbringers and heavensward are pretty 
what are you seeing in gpose?
any wiki and or beginner guide? General beginner guide. Not quite specific lke "how to make gil" or "level up in 3 min" xD
!faq newplayertips
tyyyyy
you can open that as the original format @urban inlet
How to focus idle camera on my char?
In gpose, he's just standing there with his weapon out.
does anyone know how to fix the unable to download patch files
how do i prevent this typ of crash from happening? don't play in fullscreen mode but window mode
If I finish the orbonne monastery, Iāll get the resistance weapon?
Dumb question. Leveling my first ranged dps. So with summoner i can cast ruin 2 right after i cast ruin 1 for a little extra dmg, is there a reason not to do this?
later on when you get bahamut are you gonna get a trait where you gain something called further ruin. each Egi assult adds 1 and makes your ruin 2 into ruin 4. You are gonna wanna spend those when you summon bahamut for the most damage. aside from that. not really.
Casting Ruin 1 into ruin 2 doesn't increase your damage
You're doing less damage actually
Unless you weave with the ruin 2
you can cast it right after ruin 1
@mossy tartan After finishing every Ivalice quest in the questline you'll have a new
blue quest pop up in Kugane. Do that quest series and you'll get a relic at the end
Yes but unless you weave with the ruin 2, its a lost
Doing ruin 2 for lols is a lost
@mossy tartan After finishing every Ivalice quest in the questline you'll have a new
blue quest pop up in Kugane. Do that quest series and you'll get a relic at the end
@median locust is it related to the royal city of rabanastre and its raids?
You're bound to the gcd
yeah, just using ruin 2 instead of ruin 1 is not bueno
Yes, you have to clear all three Ivalice raids
but going ruin 1 > 2 should work
or if by related you mean story wise, also yes
You still dont do that jonath
that's why it's required to have to do the Ivalice raids
Okay, thank you
Its better to keep casting Ruim 1 until you need to weave
is it really such a big difference with a split second?
The instant cast of ruin 2 isn't making you do more damage Unless you weave
You're bou d to the gcd
You could have done a ruin 1
In the time your gcd from ruin 2 has come back
And done more damage
Do you get refunded for the seal cost of a squadron mission if you abort? 
You have a set number of GCDs in a fight for example. If you do Ruin 2, you replace a Ruin 1 with a Ruin 2 which is bad. It's directly less damage.
Instant casts frontload damage but you're not actually do more damage
i see, then thats my B, had no clue on that
Cause you're still waiting for the gcd cooldown
Yeah you do the damage earlier but it's still the same number of casts
Ideally you never ever cast ruin 2
It's only better if the boss will disappear soon and you don't have the time to wait on Ruin 1's cast time
Then Ruin 2 is better than nothing
^
Whatās the sales pitch for Gun breaker?
very dps like Tank
satisfying damage combos
good for scaring healers when you superbolide
lil squishy but it's DPS rotation feels busy and satisfying
decent party mitigation through heart of light and targetable tools like aurora and heart of stone
im lv 47 but still using a lv 35 weapon, where do I go and buy a lv 40's weapon?
you can try the city vendors
main city vendor
or do your job quests
its lv 41 xD
are you looking at the lvl 31-39
not going there yet, once imy mainquest hits a cystal tp thing, i'll go check it out
MSQ should provide you better weapons as you go anyways
I checked around and couldnt find a way to get down there and cant jump off. So, how do I find a way down xD
is a long coiling path down
i see, found it when you mentioned coiling
learning sumn makes my head churn
Well this is fun, got used as bait for the praetorium lift and now i cant keep up
Thanks for the info
Any tips for getting back to the group?
when your team start combat
it'll prompt you to mvoe to the arena after about 15 seconds
Alright im back with the group
What are tomestones used for? i recently hit level 71
Gear
getting better gear
you would have the scaevan set at lvl 70
there were sets at 50 and 60 as well
Alright so they are not used for level 80?
Poetics aren't
different tomes
well, for one thing
Alright and you cant get those b4 level 80 i take it?
correct
Cant spend them either until you finish base Shadowbringers
are there any GC items worth saving up for? Thumbing through the list they all seem really bad, and I'm already level 54 despite not having a high rank in GC
are you a captain or not
once you get to captain rank you can buy 130 weapons for 20k-ish seals each
i only just reached uhhh corporal or the one after that
are any of those weapons relevant after level 50?
Can anyone help me with extreme Emanation and extreme The Pool of Tribute? Been in a queue for 6 hours and not even a single other person has appeared...Undersized Party of course.
You shouldn't queue for Extreme trials in general, use Party Finder
is there a period of casting miasma/bio in the smn rotation
I tried that too, for 3 hours last night...
also "Undersized party", you can't queue for undersized party
I meant that if someone can help me it would be undersized party.
So no level sync, sorry for confusion
*sergeant third class
Alright...I'll try for a few more hours today I guess
which tank classes are main and which are off tank?
!faq neta
!faq meta
They can all do both
the main tank is the one who does more DPS :p
PLD and WAR have more support skills than GNB/DRK though if that's what you mean
yeah thats wha i meant
!faq poetics
It's !faq poetics, do it in #kupo-bot-spam
i mean he cant respond to a question here on another channel
In the last boss of rabanastre, what is the second commandment? I understand that the first one requires you to either look or not depending on which face flashed
It kinda feels like right now that GC was made for when it was just ARR and isn't balanced for new players coming in today with EXP boosts to get to the xpacs. Right now I am already leveled past all the gear I see unavailable to me in the seal exchange menu (they seem to cap at 50 unless I missed something and I'm level 54). Do you unlock higher level GC gear later on?
@mossy tartan moving/not moving
Leveling other jobs? @leaden ginkgo
Also I think the highest level gear is still 50 for GC
yeah I guess I could maybe use that gear for alt jobs later
What about the other spell he casts? It invokes a pointing finger above your head, if it points to a specific direction, does it mean that every time you move, youāll move to where itās pointed?
thanks
yes rem
Also there isn't an XP boost in ARR unless you are on a preferred server @leaden ginkgo
that's what I'm on
and it resets every time you finish a movement session, correct?
every time you stop moving it will start spinning agian
okay, thank you!
Well I'm just saying Hampster the game obviously won't be balanced around a boost that a number of people won't have
Nor didn't exist until lateish into Stormblood?
Yeah exp boosts cost money and most people won't wanna spend extra money to skip the game they paid for
some people do
will I cause wipes if I go into X content while barely meeting the ilvl requirement (AF gear, whatever accessories, relic weapon for Titania ex and eden f.e) as a healer?
Different thing @median locust
wouldn't most new players in this day and age just pick the preferred server unless they have friends on a specific world?
preferred servers have a capacity
oh exp boosts like Aetheryte earrings, gotcha
Yeah sometimes there just aren't preferred servers in a data center
@gritty oracle not really
@median locust road to 70
ah
when i was signing up a few months I felt like they really wanted me to pick one lol
They do
Exp boost is a broad term sorry 
But still sometimes preferred servers just don't exist in a data center
They were low before they made them preferred, yeah
also i completely ignored all the GC armor
its really just good for mats and things
I'm still glad I have the road to 70 boost with how much content there is, even though it messes with stuff like GC
super nice for crafting jobs
Even without XP boost
thanks, I will keep GC in mind for alt jobs then

which gather skill is most efficient in diadem? Can fishing keep up with node routes?
Like, you don't need it ever but if you just need some better gear and got GC seals you can just buy a set of it while leveling
@gritty oracle Late reply but you causing a wipe would be more from fucking up mechanics not gear issues
another question, I have just started recently getting allagan tombstones, if I had to guess is there another special tomestone thing I'll get in the next expansion that will make the allagan ones irrelevant or am I wrong?
and the "law" ones are just for the moogle event to get cosmetics and stuff
oh gotcha, I've just started getting some allagans of poetics from the beast tribe quest I just unlocked
Allagan Tomestones of Poetics - Old expac stuff, also used to buy lv80 relics for alt jobs
Allagan Tomestones of Phantasmagoria - Buys lv80 iLv460 gear and crafting mats
Allagan Tomestones of Allegory - Can only earn 450 a week, buys lv80 iLv490 gear
ohhh so poetics are relevant pretty much until you reach level 80?
they're basically for previous expansion gear
so that we aren't overloaded with currencies
that are irrelevant after the expansion has passed
ohhh so did they consolidate a bunch of currencies into the poetics thing once they become outdated?
yup
they phase out old ones and introduce new ones every other patch when you're at endgame as well
ahh thanks that finally makes sense
i remember seeing a list of all sorts of allagan whatevers and was like "wtf am I looking at?" lol
for example: Shadowbringers released with Goetia as the uncapped 80 tome, and Phantasmagoria as the weekly capped tome
glad to see they are more streamlined
is it hard to start a FC?
no
5.2 came out and Goetia was phased out, the gear moved to hunt currency, Phanta uncapped and Allegory released as capped
Yeah just asking people to help make an FC will usually work to make one
The hard part is making people to go into the FC
is a capped mean you can earn a certain amount of them weekly/daily
Yed
yes hamp
ahhhh
450/week
for now we can only earn 450 allegory tomestones a week
thx guys
for FC leveling how does it work?
looks like this
They might increase the cap a couple weeks before 5.4
i can't remember if they did this for phanta
They only do.that for thr last tomes
They didn't
Oh
i know genesis were double capped
sorry for all the questions but is hunt currency what you get from that hunting guy in your GC hq? is that different from the poetics?
wait how do i still have the routine bonus
more than 90days passed since char creation
If the server is still preferred, you keep it until it isn't
Your server is still preferred
oh rly
its whatever is longer
they don't want to shank a new player who makes a character the day before a major patch
Probably Yes
@leaden ginkgo once you unlock the hunt from your gc, you can pick up bills that tell you to go kill enemies, and when you kill those enemies you get hunt currency
there are also A and S rank hunts that arent on bills that give you more currency
hunt currencies are earned from hunting special marked targets. @leaden ginkgo there are daily/weekly hunt bills from your GC quartermaster, as well as other npcs in later expansions. there are also non-bill marked A and S rank hunts that award more
completion of hunts award exp, the currency, and gil
ah so those give you gear I assume if you turn in the hunt currency, thanks!
so I'm not sure if this is a bug or not but I'm new so I figured I'd ask here
I just did the ocean fishing voyage with a level 80 fisher, scored 19,000 points according to what I saw on my screen, but the mount achievement didn't trigger
ohh mounts, that's an incentive
should I put in a ticket?
or is this a known bug?
did you go to jonathas in gridania
yup standing in front of him right now
this mount was the only reason why I leveled fishing
does the achievemtn not say you have it
correct
Silly question, but Iām a returning player, stopped at lvl 51 SMN in HW. Iām considering switching primary class to BLM. Is that a good idea, or is finishing MSQ a better idea before going to alts too much
if you want to switch then switch
@remote lintel so should I put in a ticket then?
where do I go to learn my white mage skills again?
did you not see the achievement pop up when you finished fishing?
correct
then you didn't get it
achievement didn't pop up but the numbers under my name on the left side of my screen said I scored 19,000 odd points
You can click on the quest name in the HUD in the upper left, just under the MSQ name. But most of them are in South Shroud
as well as the total score at the end?
yup and then the whole thing gave me gatherers yellow scrips
How do shields and damage reductions interact in conjunction? example (AST nocturnal POV) :
My tank is about to get hit with a tank buster, I use aBenefic (flat shield value) and CU (10% dmg reduction)
Does the game take away the shield first, then apply the 10% reduction? Or the other way around?
it's more likely that you were mistaken than the game just not registering the achievement
also i dont think you have to be max lvl fisher to get the mount
Shields are basically additional hp
pretty sure its doable on lower lvl
If you take less damage, the shield lasts longer
its doable, but you have to be a tad luckier
i'm thinking you could have possibly misread your score
maybe gotten 9k points instead of 19k
Shields are basically additional hp
@faint flare ah, so the 10% damage reduction kicks in first, nice
so i know that in parties you get boosted stats based on the jobs in the party, does this extend to DoH/DoL too? if 8 DoL partied up would they have more gathering or perception because of the boost or is that only for combat classes?
No
You get a main stat increase for each different standard role in the group
1% per role
So 1% foe having a tank, one for healer, one for physical melee, one for physical range and one for caster
Anyone willing to help with extreme pool of Tribute, party finder is up. Thank you in advance!
Non combat dont fall into that or use the main stats much
What are collectables?
They're items made/gathered while having collectors synth/glove on
Which you can then turn into Rowena house of splenders for scrips and experience if she's accepting that item today
Basically youāre converting HQ chance into collectable score. The higher the score you can get on the item, the better the reward for giving it to the House of Splendors.
is it possible as a RDM to use the Damage boost for Manafication through the whole weaponskill combo, all the way to scorch?
When enchanted, the melee combo has a 1.5s gcd instead of the normal 2.5s.
How hard is it to get a collectable?
So out of 100 HQ items I am crafting, how many become collectables?
All of them
?
If you turn on the collectors synth
Oh ok, how do I get that?
You need to have collectors synth on to craft ad collectors
Do the quest "Inscrible tastes" in ishgard
By the Leve giver
Unlock is in Ishgard Foundation iirc.
What about gathering collectables?
Itās got its own version. Most of the skills from 50-70 are related to collecting
So how long will it take to gather say a 100 collectables?
Longer since you prefer to have 600gp for gathering collectibled
For max collectiblity
You can do with less but its more rng
You didnt exactly answer my question
2 collectables per node?
Maybe a few hours or something
Lets say each node takes 30 secs?
Yes since you spend most gathering attempts on raising collectiblity
4 collectibles per minute
2.5 hours to gather 300 collectables
That is time to mine a node and walking to another oe
Then I have to max a crafter and a gatherer
If youāre going for the highest collectable scores possible, however, itāll take longer since you need GP for most of the collectable score skills.
Where can i sell items? ive tried alot of stores but i cant seem to find a place to sell the stuff i got in my bags
