I there a way to see the loot you can get in a dungeon?
Like a codex or something?
little swift
you can look up the loot tables
but if you're inside a dungeon you can only see the loot of chests you've opened
sacred glacier
why did it have a emergency maintenance @little swift
sinful terrace
Security issues maybe?
little swift
this is the announcement
obsidian patio
if it was a security issue it'd be more than just one world
at least the whole datacenter at a minimum
probably someone found a bug that crashes the world or something
Maybe someone did some fishing /s
wintry chasm
fishing right through Limsa staircases
grim adder
What level 80 crafting accesories/belt should I get ? o-o
twilit arch
professional gear is fine, especially if you're not going to focus on doing end-game crafting too much
grim adder
mhm I just want to make money off of food :p
wintry chasm
Facet with materia melds would be better though
twilit arch
and even if you are, professional can work but you're going to need to suppliment with syrup and food
wintry chasm
Stats wise
twilit arch
also at this point though
i wouldn't recommend investing too much in facet
since 5.3 is soonish, and we're most likely getting a new set of gear

I'll just stick with Professional then thank you ^^

You can never double-weave due to Shifu's haste buff. You'll always clip your GCD

If you double weave your losing dps simple as that

Can anyone tell me where you get this mount

Ah right cool I'll check price

Think it's pretty new so I assume it will be full price, 20 UK pounds/25 dollars ish

its 30$

solemn delta
OK so I guess "The Mudman" in Ill Mheg is for at least a party of 4 lol
Just thought I would try and batter him on my SAM while doing pixies and got absolutely backsmacked
solemn delta
Could a PLD? Doubt even a PLD could do him
quick cedar
prob not till next exp
jade quartz
I don’t believe any job is capable of that.
slate arrow
You'd spend more time healing compared to just doing DPS
quick cedar
a ranks need at least 8
solemn delta
And even on my SAM I was barely touching him
quick cedar
s ranks you'll need more than that
solemn delta
And he's 495
quick cedar
and they will kick your shins in faster than you can heal it
scaling is prob the answer you're looking for as to why s/a ranks are hard to begin with
jade quartz
Four-manning most a ranks should be feasible (but will take forever)
They’re not scaled actually
quick cedar
but if you want to fight hunts your best bet is a hunt train most def or a hunt linkshell of sorts
wintry chasm
Four-manning most a ranks should be feasible (but will take forever)
Can confirm, I have done it before
Took like, half an hour

mossy tartan
Are there any areas in the game where a full blood moon is observable?
lapis sorrel
How long does it take to get to max level with that 100% experience buff?
obsidian patio
@mossy tartan Not sure if I'd count it, but in the Tsukuyomi trial the moon in the background gets red at some parts of the fight.
@lapis sorrel assuming this is your first class, then it depends on how fast you can go through the story and if you keep up on your daily roulettes that give large amounts of experience (Leveling roulette, Main Scenario roulette, and Alliance Raid roulette)
solemn delta
Gonna take a few weeks probably even with buff if your doing story
lapis sorrel
Just wanted to know if its super long to get to max level or super short, but I guess its right in middle. Thanks
slate arrow
Especially if it's a new character cause you gotta do that MSQ thingy
lapis sorrel
Yea im a new player. Dont enjoy taking too long to get to max level
solemn delta
Well it's nothing like other MMOs a lot faster.
It just depends whether you want to enjoy the story and watch every cutscene etc too or skip through it with your aim being level cap
agile laurel
@solemn delta bit late but it's worth considering mudman takes a good 30 seconds or so to an assembly of about 60 level 80's
not considering the 3 mechanics he has are all oneshots, 2 untelegraphed
solemn delta
Haha I just tried to fight him randomly mate I don't do hunts
lapis sorrel
Well it's nothing like other MMOs a lot faster.
@solemn delta WoW its quite fast takes like 3/5 days to get to 120. But yea I played other ff games and its my fav franchise so I want to pay attention to the story
solemn delta
Been playing 4 months now never done a hunt lol
agile laurel
hunts are basically done by people scouting out everything that's available and directing a horde of multiple parties round them
solemn delta
Then yeah, it's gonna take a little time they have put a lot of time into the story especially the latter expansions
silk ferry
Hello I am right this second downloading FFXIV for the first time after finally giving up on WOW and looking for a new game to get into but like any other MMO starting off is a really daunting experience. So what I'm asking is are there any general tips for some one just starting out?
agile laurel
the 'difficulty' in that instance just comes from the fact most A-ranks have at least one ohko mechanic
!faq newplayerguide
zinc orbitBOT
twilit arch
!faq newplayertips
zinc orbitBOT
agile laurel
another thing i'd stipulate is it is a final fantasy game overall. try not to overthink the MMO aspects early on.
lapis sorrel
Is it normal that a class quest makes me kill lvl 9 mobs as a level 5 character? I take so long to kill them and lose a lot of HP XD
silk ferry
Never played a final fantasy game in all honesty don't crucify me haha and thanks for the guide
agile laurel
what specifically?
Ah, basically I was just saying it's a JRPG before a standard mmo
so in a way it feels less like a standard mmo than wow does
mossy tartan
In EU, how popular is ffxiv compared to WoW?
agile laurel
make sure to do 
and class quests that're below the top left when they're available
obsidian patio
@silk ferry no worries, this game was also my first proper introduction to the series!
agile laurel
Bit hard to say since WoW hasn't published player numbers since it nearly died
solemn delta
Yeah mobs should never really be almost double your level
lapis sorrel
In EU, how popular is ffxiv compared to WoW?
@mossy tartan I think WoW has more active players. If u compare all the realms in wowrealmpopulation site it has way more than ff eu servers
obsidian patio
do note that we're currently in a very long content lull due to corona
slate arrow
WoW and FFXIV use completely different server structures
agile laurel
Oh yeah the guide probably goes over that but I should stipulate, Main Scenario Quests and the class quests (those come at specific levels) are non-optional. this's a little different to wow as it is today @silk ferry
slate arrow
You can't directly compare the two unless they release official numbers
obsidian patio
also WoW characters are only a single class
slate arrow
Yeah they stopped that a while ago
obsidian patio
Last I heard was like mist of pandaria or early WoD
lapis sorrel
Im comparing from fan made sites like ff census thingy and wowrealm. Wow doesnt release oficial population numbers. But Im pretty sure wow is more popular even in their worse state
silk ferry
WOW just turned too toxic for me needed to get away haha
lapis sorrel
But both games are rlly good :3
wintry chasm
fan made censuses are pretty unreliable though
lapis sorrel
Yea of course. Dont take my word for granted
slate arrow
also, WoW has a lot of dead subs fwiw
People who are still subscribed and don't play
wintry chasm
no
kind eagle
i skip then
wintry chasm
It's beast tribe stuff
kind eagle
What about this
slate arrow
yes that's a dungeon
agile laurel
wanderers' palace hard
slate arrow
no that's normal
agile laurel
oh
I was gonna say, it's worth unlocking because a lot of sidequests will have you do dungeons, but if that's normal yes even more so
wintry chasm
lol no
slate arrow
Nah you're missing a lot more
wintry chasm
You're missing basically every 50 dungeon
wintry chasm
Which there must be like, 12 of
agile laurel
to name a few
slate arrow
Battle of the lake
kind eagle
level 50
solemn delta
There's tons more
agile laurel
Keeper of the lake's an MSQ tho admittedly
agile laurel
and yes cal they stopped publishing numbers mid WoD (wonder why) so any source claiming to have reliable numbers is not reliable
wintry chasm
also you are missing Aurum Vale which is 47
kind eagle
Are those lower lv than 50?
wintry chasm
Are what lower?
solemn delta
I believe there's 31 ARR Dungeons
kind eagle
Those dungeon
wintry chasm
What dungeons?
kind eagle
Cause i just cleared arr
solemn delta
Unless I'm somehow missing one.
kind eagle
So im curious how many dungeon did i miss
solemn delta
You didn't "miss" any
agile laurel
so you haven't done any side-unlocks and you haven't actually finished ARR
wintry chasm
Yuki missed Aurum Vale
agile laurel
well, you haven't done some side unlocks
wintry chasm
^
solemn delta
You can unlock them all whenever you like
agile laurel
i see darkhold
kind eagle
Where is aurum
wintry chasm
Oh
solemn delta
Hmm is AV a side quest?
wintry chasm
You missed Aurum AND Halatali
agile laurel
unlock is I think via your GC guy
wintry chasm
AV has two unlocks
one via GC and one in Vesper Bay
Halatali IIRC is also in Vesper Bay and you missed that one too
agile laurel
halatali unlock is also in vesper bay, kill two with one
agile laurel
it's something horrifically low
solemn delta
20
lapis sorrel
One last question guys. What is the easiest class to level in lower levels (like 1 to 30)?
acoustic island
Can you perform auto via midi files?
agile laurel
not really much of a difference
arguably any tank or healer due to being able to queue better
and pull more mobs
solemn delta
That is 1 yep
zinc orbitBOT
kind eagle
I didnt see anyone offering any quest tho
agile laurel
no, vesper bay is outside the waking sands
it's the area that the waking sands is in
slate arrow
yes
agile laurel
yes
kind eagle
4 dungeon?
agile laurel
you wanna do literally all of those except weaponsmith
kind eagle
oh 3 dungeon?
agile laurel
yes
weaponsmith is for the ARR relic weapon
which really you only want if you like the look of it
kind eagle
so i do weaponsmith nxt time
solemn delta
No
kind eagle
just accept all?
solemn delta
You only do it if you want an old relic that you like the look off
As you can change the appearance of your current weapon if you don't like it
kind eagle
oh just change weapon design
solemn delta
So no, I wouldn't accept weaponsmith just now
kind eagle
i accept nxt time then
solemn delta
Yes that's all old relics are useful for
kind eagle
oh
this quest
supposed to unlock dungeon
but i already cleared the dungeon
and since it said complete i skip doing again
solemn delta
I believe that's the "Sunken Temple of Qarn" I thought the only way to unlock it was by quest but I may be wrong so I'm not sure.
proud willow
part of the patch 2.1 MSQ sends you to Qarn, I never knew whether it also unlocked it for you if you hadn't done Braving New Depths yet
I guess the answer to that is Yes

terse grail
@leaden ginkgo you can buy an apartment and put your stuff there, otherwise you only have the normal storage options available to you (retainers, chocobo saddle, your own inventory)
terse grail
@lucid flax what are you trying to macro? general rule of thumb is to never macro GCD actions. macros have no conditionals/logic whatsoever, they can only perform basic actions with full integer wait times in between each action. The only macros i really see being used are oGCDs that have ground placement or ones that require a target to activate

How does one get yellow crafting scripts?
I'm lvling culinarian what foods sell the best
median locust
Current raid foods always sell well
white bronze
Would they be in my crafting log?
median locust
They're going to be in a Master Book for sure, you'll need to buy those with Yellow Scrips
sacred glacier
what do job quest icons ;look like
median locust
You get yellow scrips by turning in collectables to Rowena and doing weekly custom deliveries
@sacred glacier
white bronze
OK
sacred glacier
ok
median locust
It should also show up under your main story quest tracker
white bronze
What are collectables?
sacred glacier
i've been doing main quest only
median locust
Collectables are a different way to craft an item, where you craft it for its collectability rather than trying to get it HQ
instead of working on quality you work on collectability
It's basically the same but the higher the collectability, the higher the rewards
sacred glacier
kinda new
median locust
It also crafts the item as a "collectable" which you can't use in any way other than turning it in as a collectable
white bronze
When I go to Rowena I'll see but I don't remember anything like that
median locust
check Rowena's counter and the various Custom Delivery clients to see what to craft
It's lv50 and up
so you can't get yellow scrips before then
white bronze
I'm 51 with culinarian
median locust
should be an unlock quest to unlock collectables in Mor Dhona I think

Hi all. My brother and me are trying to convert our old pc free trials to our steam accounts. In the upgrade to full version tab in Mogstation, the steam button is greyed out. Do we still add the cd keys to the window upgrade?

Ummm IIRC the steam button being greyed out can be an issue with your browser. Mogstation can be a bit annoying like that. I think clearing the cache or using something else like internet explorer fixes it

Am I missing out a lot if I do not level up any of the DOH/DOL?
warped nest
Oh yeah... Stormblood raid is 👌
@surreal elm they are entirely optional
People do them to make Gil

If you want to get into crafting, it’s recommended to level all 8 (leveling them is actually very fast fwiw)
median locust
Well, for Disciple of Land it doesn't matter, but if you're levelling them alongside crafters then do at least Botanist and Miner
faint flare
Plus you need multiple crafters levelped as you need their own crafters to repair their gear
median locust
Fisher is more optional

Spell speed, yes

Spell speed
open coral
@flint wagon You can ask, but we might not be able to answer.
But @lavish vortex if you're still leveling, it doesn't really matter that much.
lavish vortex
Right now my fire spell cast time is 2.43, how short can you make it?
flint wagon
0 if you use swiftcast, but that has a 60s? cooldown
(disclosure: healer main not DPS main)
open coral
Pushing your spell cast time as low as possible isn't the best way to do things.
lavish vortex
I mean normally, without swiftcast
@open coral im coming from instant skills kind of gameplay so I just want to feel more fluent... even if it doesn’t improve dps, does it make sense?
open coral
Your question makes sense, but from a practical standpoint it does not.
flint wagon
and fair enough on question:
With the new verified characters feature, is it possible to "lock" multiple characters? I understand that one will show up on the !whois, but I don't want any of my alts "stolen"
lavish vortex
Si I just have to get used to the new timing as a blm right?
sacred glacier
What does the soothe emote look likr
open coral
FFXIV classes have a lot of what we call oGCD abilities, which you'll get more of as you get higher level. A typical rotation will "weave" these oGCDs between your spellcasts.
flint wagon
(oGCD = off-global cooldown)

Is there a way to check server population like WoW had? My friend and I are just starting the game and only heard that Crystal has the RP servers. We wanna join one of the Crystal ones but not sure what is most to least in population wise or how much that matters. We'll be starting our journey tonight. :)

Not overall population @shut ore but you can check whether a server is open to new character creation here: https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/worldstatus/

The primary RP servers on Crystal are Balmung and Mateus though.
kind eagle
too
lavish vortex
@faint flare thanks!
flint grove
make sure its targeted
shut ore
@open coral thank you! I'll check that to be sure we can. Didn't know they limited new characters.
lavish vortex
2.18 spell speed will feel quite confortable I think, I’ll aim for that
open coral
They'll sometimes close certain servers to new character creation if there are too many people online.
faint flare
Bear in mind thats only on regular fire
Firw 4 will be longer
And 3600 means you're basically capping speed in everything and saccing crit and other stats
open coral
Remember also that a higher spell speed will make weaving more difficult, which will lower your dps at higher levels.

you can only have 1 job at a time? O.o and ive been joining as many DoH/DoL guilds as possible..... lol

@flint wagon thanks for letting me know! I may look into it if it shows I can create a character when my friend gets on. He knows everything about FF while I know nothing so waiting on him is a must for me.
sacred glacier
I am currently doing the bumb jn the night quest and can't find any water spirits
open coral
@flint grove Yeah, that's pretty common. It will tail off by the time you get to the end of ShB though.
@shut ore You don't really need to know anything about FF to get started. FF knowledge just means you'll recognize the franchise easter eggs and carryovers.
@sacred glacier Did you 1.) activate the levequest and 2.) are you in the area where it says to look? There should be a vertical gray rectangle icon on your map indicating where quest mobs exist.
flint wagon
@shut ore FFXIV is my first FF game. It can completely stand alone. The bonus you get from playing with a friend is awesome friends and quick advice from them on mechanics
For starting solo (like I did, but was convinced to join by a friend), it offers contextual help for getting through things and the community is (generally) pretty nice about asking questions

hallow bloom
does this game support addons similar to wow? (better cast bars that include latency like quartz or more detailed maps for example)

@hallow bloom It does not, and for the most part they are unnecessary.

Hey guys returning player. Should I finish heavensward/get caught up on content first before i start leveling my doh/dol like is there any benefits for finishing the rest of the story first
zinc orbitBOT

Every 5 levels you should be going back and talking to your class trainer. They'll give you a new quest which will reward you with a new ability.
fervent silo
so i deleted someone and somehow they could still message me and find exactly where i was...how is that possible and can i stop them from knowing that information?
faint flare
@hallow bloom there's only one real "addon" in terms of ACT which is a dps meter first and foremost. However its not supported by SE but provided you're not using it to explicitly cheat or harrass people with it, SE is lenient. Dont talk about it in game or mention numbers at all
open coral
@fervent silo Unfortunately no. You will remain on their friends list until they remove you
sacred glacier
And where can i find my class trainer
fervent silo
well that's broken

You can blacklist them, which means they won't be able to message you, at least.

Also what Vinyl said, class quest should be on MSQ tracker
And you can click that for directions

The quest under the tracker is your class quest

It's Old Gridania though

If nothing shows then you're caught up
If something shows then you got stuff to do
And can click it
hallow bloom
hmmm so how much of casting is ping based? in wow for example i use the addon quartz that shows latency once the cast bar hits the latency zone i can start moving if i'm say mounting up and i will mount up
faint flare
All of it
hallow bloom
i'm finding i can only really start moving around .1 seconds left on the mount up timer
faint flare
!faq Slidecasting
zinc orbitBOT
faint flare
What you're talking about is basically Slidecasting
open coral
As you can see, latency is so tied to cast time in FFXIV that we've actually turned it into a practical skill.
hallow bloom
no wait no .1 .01
ah so an addon that would show latency would be rather quite powerful
open coral
Yes
With a little practice though, you'll get a feel for it and won't really need any external tools.
It's not too difficult to get the hang of.
sacred glacier
I'm i meant to have more on my hud
open coral
You can have as much or as little on your HUD as you want.
The thing we're talking about is that bar at the top left of your screen.
kind eagle
helo
hallow bloom
i just have separate bars for different things
kind eagle
can i ask how close am i?
open coral
See the little icon beneath the main bar where it says "Courage of Stone"? That's your class quest.
hallow bloom
defensive/self heals on one bar ranged/self buffs on another and then the general attack ones
sacred glacier
Ok
open coral
You can always ask how close you are @kind eagle But you're probably going to end up disappointed again 😄
faint flare
Levi is 2.2? Or something
kind eagle
god
kind eagle
the last is 2.5 right
open coral
Yes
According to the list, that is the 3rd to last quest of 2.2 if that makes you feel any better.
Sorry, 4th to last
mental garnet
well, i've heard about em before, but it's the first time i've actually been partied with one
open coral
You're not quite halfway
mental garnet
the "only heals" healer

https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Seventh_Astral_Era_Quests you cab look on here for progress
kind eagle
2.3 soon then!
grim roost
grim roost
I quit playing before heavensward came out came back had to do a week worth of quests just to get to heavenward and quit playing again xD
grim roost
Now here I am waiting for my friend to get caught up xD
faint flare
Yes
ionic hazel
and swap back
ionic hazel
alright
grim roost
Hot bars are class based iirx
ionic hazel
thank you
hallow bloom
does your level get capped until you finish the pre HS qs?
ionic hazel
faint flare
No txep
sacred glacier
Do levemete need to be done
sleek spoke
is the MSQ different for each starting location?
hallow bloom
they are good for leveling gathering skills fast i find
faint flare
For the first 15 levels they're different until they converge
At the Envoy quest
You primarily meet with a different scion depending where you start
open coral
The general idea of what you're doing in the MSQ is the same, but the actual quests are different.
sleek spoke
so theres no way to find out how it is in the other locations unless you make a new char?
open coral
Yeah
faint flare
Like Thancred for uldah, yda and papalamo for gridina etc
open coral
Y'shtola for Limsa
sleek spoke
yeah im in limsa and got Yshtola
grim roost
The differences are negligible if it makes you feel better
sleek spoke
haha okay
faint flare
Yeah, you just see someone different from the scions
grim roost
I've done all the starting cities so many times during the arr beta xD
open coral
They're investigating different things.
Like Gridania Yda and Papalymo are investigating a sword stuck in a holy tree stump.
faint flare
After you start the X Envoy quest they all converge and meet up story wise
sleek spoke
but its all tied to the same plot which is when the world fell apart during the seventh umbral era blablabla?
faint flare
Yes
open coral
And for Ul'dah Thancred is rescuing a merchant's daughter.
sleek spoke
okay makes sense :3
faint flare
The story is the same after you travel to other cities
dense pier
Is there a way to make the health bar of a target click-throughable?
sleek spoke
is this the first dungeon?
sleek spoke
should i go in despite being 2 lvls lower?
open coral
Yes
sleek spoke
also when should i start looking into food buffs?
open coral
You're not two levels lower, you're just two levels lower than the synced level.
sleek spoke
oh right ok ^^
boreal aurora
it says great strides is active for next 3 steps but when i use one step it dissapears
i dont understand
faint flare
Its active for 3 steps to buff your NEXT touch
molten anchor
basically if you were over level 18 and started the instance it would lower your level to 18, but the instance itself is lower level than even that
faint flare
Great strides is amazing, especially on big touches like byregots
You ALWAYS great strides byregots
Bonus points for having byregots under innovation
leaden ginkgo
whats the easiest mount to get besides the chocobo
sacred glacier
Can you make any thing out of animal skin
molten anchor
you get a few for just doing the msq, but i dont remember when the first msq mount is
leaden ginkgo
whats msq
faint flare
In like 40s or something
molten anchor
main story quest
faint flare
leaden ginkgo
oh
faint flare
The story
sacred glacier
Do i need to do the other guild quest
open coral
If you have another after you finish the one you're on, then yes.
You don't need to do the 
in your guild building though.
molten anchor
do you mean guilds you aren't in? if you are in one guild the other guilds quests only let you unlock that class even if they are , which you only need to do if you want that class
sacred glacier
Yes
open coral
You're not required to have more than one combat job, but you can join as many as you want.
molten anchor
you do have to level each job from one though, each job has its own level.
but if you were to switch back to your original class or any class you've been on your level is saved, so its not like you have to relevel every time you switch
sacred glacier
Ok
sleek spoke
whats aetherflow gauge
faint flare
For arcanist it allows you to use fester after you use energy draib
It shows how much aetherflow you have, and therefore how many times you can use fester
You want to use energy drain every 30s so you'll need to burn the 2 stacks within 30s
sleek spoke
yeah i read it on a lvl18 ability which i havent unlocked yet
still have no idea what youre talking about tho xD
whats aetherflow even
faint flare
Aetherflow functions slightly differently on scholar as they primarily use it for healing
Its a resource you generate
Whenever you use Energy drain
Every job has a job gauge
The aetherflow gauge is one of Arcanist"s gauges
Job gauges tend to hold important information
sleek spoke
whats off global damaging skill lol sorry
dense pier
Is there no way to make the target healthbar uninteractable?
faint flare
You can use it between instant casts skills
sleek spoke
ah ok
faint flare
To give you something to do while waiting for the gcd to come back
molten anchor
you know how when you use a skill most of your other skills goes on cooldown, off global cooldown means it doesn't and you can use it even if the other stuff is on cooldown
faint flare
Well casters auto attack for basically nothing
So
Book smack for like 40 damage at 80
molten anchor
it doesn't really hurt either, but yeah smacking someone with a book is a minor benefit at best
sleek spoke
ah okay
faint flare
They aren't a big deal on magical classes
sleek spoke
is there a bar where i can see the aetherflow gauge
molten anchor
yeah it appears once you get the first skill that can use it
sleek spoke
okay, ty, makes sense now! ^^
faint flare
You'll then be able to move it in the hud editor
sleek spoke
great
faint flare
Or simplify it to make it easier to fit in the ui
flint grove
Anyone know why in some zones my chocobo is muchfaster?
molten anchor
mount speed varies in zones based on various factors, you can check your speed in each zone under the travel tab in the menu
doing the main story quests will get you the first bit of extra mount speed in each zone though
open coral
Of note, if you have the Mogstation mount SDS Fenrir, that goes max mount speed in all zones, regardless of whether you've unlocked the higher mount speed levels or not.
ionic hazel
do you ever use undraw as an astro
gloomy ice
No it can be safely removed.
open coral
Sometimes before you get minor arcana.
But once you have minor arcana you aren't going to use it.
gloomy ice
But I'm no AST expert 😅
sacred glacier
When do you get ur first mount
open coral
!faq mounts
zinc orbitBOT
gloomy ice
Short answer, after a level 20 story quest in which you pick which Grand Company to join.
flint grove
thanks @open coral that answered my question perfectly
gloomy ice
It's a purely aesthetic choice btw. There's no difference between them aside from their locations and colors.
ionic hazel
how do i disable the error that pops up when a macro cant target a person
mild ermine
How do I increase chat text size?
ionic hazel
did they remove the extra effects the astrologians card have
open coral
No, they just changed what the effects of the cards are.
fresh lodge
They all only provide a damage increase
ionic hazel
now theyre all normalized
yeah
cus i went to goggle the cheat sheet
and it showed me the old effects
open coral
Now you can go by background color.
mild ermine
Blue is melee yes.
open coral
Blue for melee, purple for ranged
molten anchor
just drag the top right of the chat box to the size you want
mild ermine
But it's the text itself I want to make bigger
molten anchor
ahh, then i'm not 100% sure
faint flare
Click the cog next to the chat
To open the chat log settings
Then Log details
To change the text size
On each different chat tab
faint flare
Can also filter things out with the Filter settings in the first tab nead the bottom
And colours
zinc orbitBOT
hallow bloom
hmmm... so i took up mining and smithing to get mats for leatherworking
now i'm doing botany and carpentry
faint flare
Yep, crafting and gathering all connects and link to each othet
In terms of needing materials and resulting crafts
open jolt
I’m really not a fan of the crafting on this game. It feels so overly complicated for the sake of being complicated
frosty badger
how do you send teleport invite to someone in your party?
fresh lodge
Its automatic
frosty badger
but i got one to limsa when i was in gridania today
hallow bloom
i'm not entirely sure but i have a feeling crafting might have the issue where for most things the constituent parts are worth more than the end result
faint flare
But its automatic whenever someone teleports that everyone in the zone receives it
fresh lodge
Not really
frosty badger
?
faint flare
Provided they dont have another teleport request already
fresh lodge
You also have to understand that the final product might sell quicker than the individual pieces
little swift
And crafting really isn't that complicated
Use touch skills to increase quality bar
Synthesis skills to increase progress of the craft
Get as much quality as you can
Then slap it all together
frosty badger
i wasnt even in the zone and i receved a teleport request
hallow bloom
the final product might sell quicker but if you buy the components you are making a loss
fresh lodge
You shouldn't be buying the components
If you can't get your own materials you're playing wrong
little swift
And some items sell for so much the overhead of components is negligible
hallow bloom
i know every mmo with a crafting system bar one that i know of has this problem
elfin edge
I guess in FF14 it's not so bad because you can multiclass the gatherer jobs as well
forest laurel
aspected benefic is your regen/shield
benefic 1 is never used unless you are in a dungeon before haukke manor or you have literally no mp left
little swift
Spamming aspected won't heal too mich
faint flare
Think of Asp. Benefic as your Regen from white magr
little swift
And can burn your mana out without providing too much
faint flare
That has some infront healing
elfin edge
am I supposed to just paste the thing kupo bot sends me into my profile to verify my character?
forest laurel
yes
paste the thing it gives you into your lodestone page's description
do the command again
and once it's verified you can take it away
faint flare
During a pull
elfin edge
ah okay, thanks
ionic hazel
so draw> sleeve draw> consume card
faint flare
Usually after the first divination you'll tend to throw divination out then sleeve draw to mega buff people
ionic hazel
i dont even have these abilities yet xD
im just trying to understand the class
but thank you
faint flare
You draw > throw card > sleeve draw
As sleeve draw acts as another draw and fills the card slot on use
faint flare

is it possible to get eden fulmination in duty finder? not if its long or so long thats impossible but is its actually not possible or not?

sullen pulsar
The quests after "the Ultimate Weapon" to when you actually finish ARR is quite boring so far. Is there any reason to do them rather than just pay SQ $11 so I can move on?
elfin edge
a lot of things happen, plot-wise, though
faint flare
They wrap up arr and set up heavensward
little swift
If you care about plot play them
sullen pulsar
OK as I try to follow up on some of the side quest like the Gentlemen one and ti went forever
little swift
Hildebrand is slapstick comedy
uneven galleon
Can you guys help me https://glamours.eorzeacollection.com/37440/pure-mage-2-1588147885.png which miqote race is that? sun or moon?
elfin edge
oh, the gentleman one isn't msq but it's hilarious
sullen pulsar
Hildebrand is slapstick comedy
@little swift Yes but I think it went a bit long
elfin edge
I did it for the glams >_>
little swift
I think of it as several episodes in a season
elfin edge
I guess it also feels long because 2.1 to 2.5 were put on bit by bit before heavensward
gloomy ice
@uneven galleon Due to the apparent lack of face markings, I'd wager that's a Seeker of the Sun.
elfin edge
the inbetween sidequests are there to kill time IMO
fiery helm
when I click proceed for the instance of the quest "Into a Copper Hell", it says "This quest battle must be undertaken alone and as a disciple of war or magic" but I am very sure that I am a conjurer, how can I solve this
sullen pulsar
ok I'll give it a few more hours, I do like stories and so far it's been decent but was expecting to be able to move on after the ultimate weapon ony to find it it's not the end of ARR
gloomy ice
Means it's been synced down.
little swift
when I click proceed for the instance of the quest "Into a Copper Hell", it says "This quest battle must be undertaken alone and as a disciple of war or magic" but I am very sure that I am a conjurer, how can I solve this
@fiery helm a conjurer is a disciple of magic
faint flare
No cause you cant equip it
ionic hazel
@fiery helm are u in a party
fiery helm
yes
faint flare
You have to be higher than then the equipment level
ionic hazel
leave the party
gloomy ice
Oh right that one. I read that wrong.
faint flare
To equip
fiery helm
oh ok thanks a lot
gloomy ice
It means you're close to the level you need to equip it.
gloomy ice
Vendor gear works just fine for the 1-50 stretch. For the SB and ShB jobs, there are better options like poetics to start and dungeon gear along the way.
faint flare
Not the roulette itself but dungeons do
open coral
Hunt logs and FATEs until you have access to dungeons, then your highest level leveling dungeon after that.
little swift
Doing specific dungeons I. Your level range
zinc orbitBOT
little swift
Isnt bad for gear
open coral
Or if you're dps, I guess PotD is supposed to be more efficient from a time perspective.

can you change the datacenter in the launcher where you just download the game?

You can change between all the datacenters as you start the game. The launcher is the same for all regions.
Well except china and korea.

Newly leveled up my first to 80. Is the neo-ishgardian gear set any good? Or should i do Eden raids instead?

So it'w recommended to do so

Use neo ish to beat edens verse yes

Its the quick way to catch up

It’s rather inexpensive these days and is a pretty good way to start yeah.
