@open coral my name on light is Ani Lemuri
Make a cross-server party in PF and I'll find you @jaunty bear
@vagrant copper aaah nice now it works 
Is there a way to use the number keys on the side instead of the ones on top on my keyboard?
how do i use a emote icon to be transferred to the macro?
A friend told me the Fairy Beast Tribe quests are good but what series of quests was he referring to? Are they like the ARR beast tribe?
I've done the pre-req quests for the "Stewards of note" displayed below for Quitari quest line, but the actual quest I just said isn't there
not done SHB story fully yet it that matters
@jaunty bear Sooo... apparently I never did the prerequisite trials on my EU toon. Sorry. đŠ
@vagrant copper hm this doesnt seem to work https://i.imgur.com/AQOQDRJ.png
You did the second quote wrong
now its /micon "playdead" emote but still nada
And that's in your macro?
ye top row
Try using /micon
playdead 
Yea so I set up my directional but now the camera won't accordingly
It might also be "play dead" instead. IDK. can't try right now
Sometimes the game gets a little touchy about how you input specific names of things
@vagrant copper ye /micon "play dead" emote worked!
Hello i am aworld of warcraft Refugee mainly a pvp player but recently i have fallen in love wit the pve in FFXIV and just wonder how i can check which guild is good , and has a good small clean community.
how do i obtain the BiS weaver gear?
Hello i am aworld of warcraft Refugee mainly a pvp player but recently i have fallen in love wit the pve in FFXIV and just wonder how i can check which guild is good , and has a good small clean community.
@reef frigate Usually you just have to join it and twst their community, a guild can have a good reputation and still be shit and have toxic ppl
BiS is melded facet gear and the i430 belt and accessories.
Both of which are crafted
@molten spruce Thank you <3.
so with that i can craft myself a neo ishgardian?
Yes, but youâll likely spend more Gil getting the stats to be able to make it than just buying it directly
yeah but i want to sell BiS crafted sets in the future
make some gil
i heard they are really expensive when they drop initially
@molten spruce Thank you <3.
@reef frigate imho guilds with less ppl are better, they help more and feel more like a family than guilds with loads of ppl, those feel like a community rather than a family and you will most likely leave those type of guilds
@molten spruce I thought so its like wow Ye i might consider joining small ones recently gotten addicted to ffxiv Still a noob xD
im an ESO refugee, never going back, sure pvp sucks compared to ESO but this game is QUALITY, best mmorpg
Is there like a keyboard tutorial in the game cuz this is stressful
can u loop a emote in macros? like the Tombstone emote or reading a book ?
im on controller so idk ab keyboard
idk how you guys have the finger range of pressing all those keys while moving
we use 2 hands?
No looping in macros
yea but how do u press key 9 while moving and rotating PoV
that sound like a twister to ur finger
Don't have things bound out of reach that you need when moving đ€·ââïž
I don't have the 'Towards the firmament' quest available (For Ishgard Restoration) although I beat hW
or a combination
I don't have the 'Towards the firmament' quest available (For Ishgard Restoration) although I beat hW
@median inlet that is after hw
end of dragonsong line
you need to be past patch 3.3 quest (Litany of Peace)
and bind the keys that were 7,8 and 9 to other things
Gotcha'
Gotcha'
@median inlet dont skip those texts and cutscenes, that storyline is great
I don't intend on
No looping in macros
@vagrant copper this worked x) https://i.imgur.com/fCopaH1.png
what's good way to find social linkshells
yeah something like that will work, it's just not really proper "looping" since it's not like persistent and only does it as many lines as the macro has
Yea I'm tryna find a guide but so far I can't find one I can follow
Is there like a keyboard tutorial in the game cuz this is stressful
a tutorial for what exactly? what to bind?
hmm I mean like, what would you want from a guide? Hotbar customization is a pretty personal thing, put what you want where it makes the most sense to you and is easiest for you. It's not a thing with a lot of depth or whatever, relatively straightforward. Is there anything in particular that you're struggling with?
I wanna be able to move without cramping lol
you can like, rebind all the keys around wasd pretty easily if you want to hotbar slots, which are real easy to press while moving without any additional strain. Can also consider modifiers like shift, control, alt, or any combination of them, for additional keybinds
how do I put a marker on the map at specific coordinates by typing? there's a command for it right? that puts an x on your map
you can't by typing
you can control + right click on the map to place a flag to link a location
but can't you make those things that link to a place on the map
but you can't like type in coordinates to make a flag
like in hunt trains
yeah that's the control + right click thing
ye that
or if you click on someone else's linked coordinate you can share it with <flag>
You can also use <pos> in chat to get the position of stuff
or your own position with <pos> yeah
Like movement, strafing, camera control are like all different
Controller I jus picked up and was on my way lol
you would most likely greatly appreciate the legacy control scheme, since movement is like controller
up at the top, you can change between standard and legacy. Standard is a bit more tank controls, your character turns as you move your camera, pressing S will cause your character to backpedal. Legacy, if you press a direction you move in that direction, and you can turn your camera completely independently as desired
I'll try that
how much are rebel boots on mb usually? can't check rn
its dependent on data center and world iirc
I'd suggest standard over legacy cause movement looks a lot better :p
oh yeah rift, but usually for that it's always very similar
I prefer legacy for movement freedom
But this is a preference thing theres no right or wrong
Is waiting 100mins normal for deltascape v.4 (savage)?
mmhmm. I mainly recommended legacy since they were coming from controller, and legacy is very similar to controller
Trying to queue for any EX, Savage, etc. with DF is a fool's errand
no one queues for it
also old content 90% of the time it'll only be unsynced in party finder
do it unsynced in PF
Its old but its not easy
Pf?
Do unsync might attract more peoe
party finder
People
I also use legacy! I find it more comfy, but looks a bit rough while moving
the only particular benefit standard has over legacy is ease of handling gazes. Movement-wise legacy is actually a bit simpler than standard. Since you don't have to worry about avoiding backwalking/having to strafe
is there some kind of requirement before you can access grand company provisioning missions?
yes
everytime I check it say no more available
let me double check the rank you need to be
I guess I'm jus not used to gaming keyboard style
Are they only for gatherers?
Like console has spoiled me
crafters as well
Aren't those provisioning missions also shared between people? So you have to compete with others and be thhere when they reset?
This game had controller support

I can do the supply mission
with the crafting updates upcoming in 5.3, is it worth buying the level 80 white scrip gear right now?
crafting and gathering I mean
Aren't those provisioning missions also shared between people? So you have to compete with others and be thhere when they reset?
@vagrant copper no
They're individual
@sullen pulsar supply for crafter provisioning for gatherers
@sullen pulsar you have to be Flame Private Third Class
/ storm private third class / whatever the last one private third class
@white bronze you cna play controller on this game even if you're on PC
I bought a keyboard so I can play pc style on my ps4 but slowly regretting it lol
with the crafting updates upcoming in 5.3, is it worth buying the level 80 white scrip gear right now?
@robust crow if you have nothing to do with the scrips its not badto. If no plan's for heavy endgame crafting its ok too
is it going to get powercrept right away when 5.3 drops?
The white scrip set with melded accs works perfectly fine for gatherera
Real quick. what is the glamour notification in chat tied too? I want to turn it off but I dont know what heading its under
Some system message?
yeah that seems most plausible but that'd turn everything else off no?
It usually gives an example of what text it is in the window
Need/greed rolls are their ownmessage iirc
Maybe glamour has its own
yeah none of them demonstrate that however
It's system messages
yeah just tested. dang
@robust crow yes, the new crafted set in 5.3 will most likely have better stats even when unmelded
im not sure I should turn that off. it blanket-covers alot of things
ok good. interim fix. use another tab for system messages
because system messages don't cause the tab to blink. only chats
Hi im Cluesless how to switch from ps4 to pc? should I buy the game form steam or tsquare-enix store?
Anyone know of a Eureka Discord for the primal datacenter?
I'mma jus go back to controller lol thnx for the input
keep the keyboard on hand to type on your ps4
but yeah just fight with a controller
I'mma use it for typing and setting up macros
seems good
But it was a $180 keyboard lol
yeah thats on YOU fam
And requires both USB ports đ
coulda just bought a 20 buck usb keyboard from an office supply store
Make sure you set up enable direct chat if thats what the keyboard is for
Is there a way to change ctrl to shift?
How do I do that
In the keybinds menu
For hotbar 2 yes
I setup my bars ages ago
I know itâs in my key binding but I donât know where
hotbar tab
I see ctrl+1
Do I have to change all of them?
Please say sike
bro it takes like 10 seconds
Fair enough

Wish I could copy and paste but on console lol
Is there any place in particular for LFG for XIV? Looked for channels here but didn't see any
Party finder
So... what's the difference between Dancer and Bard? How do their support abilities differ?
Dancer u have a Dance partner
And certain buffs u get that partner gets
5% damage
Bard has natural party buff in their songs
Technical step effects party if they in range
Dancer is more offensive support, giving one person a 5% damage buff and a crit buff...gives party team damage buff every minuyr and has a small heal
Bard has a buff to put on a person so they get more healing. Their songs also provide various damage buffs
While Dancer permanently buff a party member and occasionally buff the whole group
Dancer is easier imo
Naturally all ranged have their party mitigation skill like Shield samba. Troubador etc
Playstyle wise:
Bard rotate through 3 different songs, and each of them allows you to do certain skill when they proc. You maintain DoT damage on your target, and do filler attacks while handling the song procs.
Dancer has a lot of RNG in their combo. Your single target 2 step combo can proc 2 other attacks, and using these 2 procs can sometimes give you Feather, which is a resource to perform additional offensive abilities, but the whole thing ties together rather neatly
anyone else having trouble accessing the gamerescape wiki?
I'm a scholar main, but I want to take on and level a pseudo-support/dps class for future raids, cuz i'm afraid if I go healer, I won't be able to keep up with dedicated healers like WHM and AST
isn't an ast+sch the preferred healer comp?
Are you saying that because you can't keep up or because you think a scholar isn't a dedicated healer?
i've only been playing for a little over a month... and I was just invited to an FC, but don't have friends or a crew, so i really don't know anything.
@mental garnet theyâre down currently, if the outage that I saw earlier is still happenening
you'll do fine as sch in normal mode raids as a new player if you're worried about that, and since you have a co-healer, not every single raid AoE or damage is supposed to be your responsibility to heal up
it can be intimidating but you won't struggle much until you start doing savage and even then, fights are scripted so you know when to heal and when to dps
in fact sch has a lot of powerful tools for hard fights too
I've been playing Heavenward, and in the story dungeons, the 4mans, my party has been getting low and I can't heal them up as fast
have you done your job questS?
yes
indomitability is your best burst aoe heal
use whispering dawn off cooldown more or less
if your dps are taking unnecessary damage
ah okay, thanks wynne
yeah dps have a duty to dodge stuff
if they dont
well they do no dps
cause they ded
use your lustrates on the tank more often than not until you have excog
if i uncheck join duty in progress, will i get autofilled in frontline roulette?
regen should be ok
i don't have a desire to join an ongoing match where people have left (often for a reason)
You wonât get put into ongoing matches with it disabled
I try to Succor the party before boss fights, then I place sacred soil on my tank while the have the bosses attention. Then after that, when they start getting too low, I Aldo my tank, and while they're taking reduced damage, I try to lustrate and then ET Adlo.
sacred soil ain't the most useful until you get the regen trait it has at like 78 imo
its one of those things you use when you got nothing to burn aetherflow on
until you do its possibly better used before party damage is incoming
^
but if you don't know. Indom is probably better use of your aetherflow
as a smn during firebird do you just spam fountain of fire and purgatory
and possibly ruin 4
same
Sacred Soil has come in handy for me, and I try to space out my charges till Aetherflow refreshes. I like to always have something to use, something prepared.
well Aetherflow can always be used
I prefer to keep one in my back pocket
and judge on the fly if I think I need it now or can blow it on something
remember FF is built around you dealing damage too
so the aim of the game is to heal just enough while still puttin' out the hurt
I still heal. My issue comes when I have to stop damaging because everyone is >30% and I have to pull off mass heals withing a few seconds of the boss's next aoe or tank buster.
indom-succor. weave whispering dawn
if that doesn't heal your dungeon group
then....đ€·
Hey I've been trying to solve this problem of my for about 3hrs and I've given up, does anybody know what to do for the mog station registration code, I got the game while it was free for ps4 and I have no idea what the code is, could somebody please give me a hand with this?
you have the game code. to log in requires an account. make an account and then use the code to link an active copy of the game to it
to enable you to login
ps4 doesnt have a code unless you buy a physical copy of the game
You link your playstation account to your mogstation
You don't need a one time password. All you have to do is have a SE account then log in through the application, steam, ps4, xbox, xyz. Just log in using your se account credintials
i have a quick quesiton, was thinking of getting this game and was ganna buy the game + the shadow bringers. IM NOTICING that there isnt any other dlc. if i buy the bundle of both the game and shadow bringers. do i get the other DLCS?

Shadowbringers gives you the other expansions
ah
and how does buying it on steam work?
do i have to log into a square enix acc?
through steam?
or should ibuy off the webiste
steam just downloads the launcher, so you're going to be using your mogstation account regardless of whether you buy thru steam or not
its up to you if you want to buy steam or off the website, just know that buying off of steam locks you into steam for any and all future expansion purchases
I have an account but it's asking for a code for the confirmation so I just have to log into the mog station with my account, right Kaelwryn?
I think so? I'm not 100% sure how ps4 account set up works
i only know that you're linking your playstation account to your mogstation, and the only time you need a code for ps4 is if you buy physical copy
Why won't it
kuz i know like the #1 tank is on steam lol
no, steam will have the expansions
If you get game/expansion digitally l on PS4
its just that when they do release a new expansion you are going to have to buy from steam
Then when you open XIV, it should ask you if you want to apply the digital purchase to a service account
even if you see a deal on like SE's store page, you won't be able to make use of that sale
Thanks Kaelwryn, I appreciate the help so I'm gonna try to log into the mog station.
hopefully it works

Welcome! :3
LOl
how do i stop the game from giving me the open playguide popup every time i start the game?
Can anyone tell me how to unlock careful observation? Or how to use it?
disable it in settings
which server is beginner friendly?
I'm in a cutscene, I can find the exact setting in a minute if you need it
trying to figure out which to start off in
Pretty much all the servers will be equally beginner friendly
Some servers have an XP bonus for new characters that you create there
look for ones with Preferred status
@vestal nymph be a specialist in that class and have a crafterâs delineation in your inventory
oh ok ty
@jade quartz thanks much appreciated
what does the little start icon beside a server mean?
Preferred Server
ah
The exp bonus mentioned
oh nvm its full
ah i found it
Anyone help me out? Canât seem to figure out where to put that code it sent me to verify my identity for the Kupo bot.
Alright I'm back
;-;
Could somebody please tell what the subscription for the mog station is?
Whatcha mean?
I don't know what it's for and kinda spooked to entry anything
You need a sub to play and the mog station is where you do it
Out of curiosity, did Square ever fix the BLU power leveling exploit where you can switch off a higher level class that one-shots stuff?
yes I believe they did
but you can still cap out a bluemage with a friend
and like...an hour
I noticed that this game has a free trial. how long you can play as free trial and are there any restrictions?
You can play forever 
To level 35. No time limit.
!faq triallimits
Restrictions on social stuff like tells and free companies ^
Whats a static?
A raid group with eight set members who meet regularly
a set group of people that you run content (usually savage or ultimate fights) with
@twilit arch Hmm I'm hard casting veraero and it doesn't seem to work with a macro anymore.
so how do skybuilders crafting collectibles... work?
im sitting in the firmament as a blacksmith but i have no idea how the hell it works
Collectability replaces Quality 1:1. To put it simply, raise quality as high as you can to reach at least the minimum score, then give the crafted item to the turn in counter to get exp and scrips.
basically you need to manage the durability of the object you are crafting while simultaneously increasing the quality bar to make it higher quality and more "collectable"
ah thank you
what happens if i reach the lvl 35 as free trial? will the character be locked or just doesn't gain any exp anymore from there?
You can go level up another class
There is no time limit. You can keep playing as long as you want.
If your class reaches 35, it won't earn exp anymore but you can still change classes/jobs
i wonder if my trial character still exists
You can potentially stay on the free trial getting all the classes to 35 including crafters and gatherers
if you're one of them min-maxers you can bring everything up to 35
and THEN buy the game
but...eh
i made an elezen for my trial but lost the password after a month or so
SE doesn't auto delete characters so it'd still exist
im already post-ShB so theres no point in using it but still lol
and while i was reading the free trial restrictions but is the local chat where players are nearby you can see the text included in these: "shout", "yell" or "tell"?
tell is for specific players, and it works cross-world
You can see all of them yes
Oh I misunderstood
You will be able to use /say chat which everyone in your vicinity can see
Shout chat is zone chat. Yell is over a wide area, big enough for the public missions. Tell is your whisper/dm.
/yell is a wider area
And /shout is zone wide
ah neat, one thing i didn't notice at that: but can higher lvl players see your /say text while being free trial? since i have used to playing wow where players who are 11 lvls or more cant see your /say text at all if they are a starter edition accounts
Yes they can
Everyone can see your say chat
Say chat can be seen by everyone in range
thank you for your answers people đ i will be adding ffxiv to games that i play (it will be 100% on free trial)
When would I use dissipation for scholar?
if you know you don't need the healing or support from your fairy, it can be used as a small damage boost by using the spare aetherflow for energy drain

I'm guessing I should make a shared macro so all my crafters can use it.?
macros are character based not class based
So I made the macro under individual.. So I'm fine?
Ah
Individual = macros that character can use
Shared = macros all characters you have can use
That means stored locally vs. stored on the server
Individual macros were added to give more macro slots without straining the server
Yeah
a have a friend thast has the game, i just bought it with the dlc, so how does it work in a sense of servers, does the primary servers like primal? ether, are the important ones? or the ones inside those for my friend to play with me
servers are grouped together into data centers (like Primal)
people on different servers can play together if they're on the same data center
yes, if you're both on primal you'll be able to play together
and correct, the datacenters are what matters for playing with others
You won't be able to join/form a Free Company (guild) if you're not on the same server, if that matters
how do you check the gear an NPC is wearing? I want to know what Hisui in Tamamizu's legs are
does anyone use the FATE trackers or follow hunts at all? looks like lighting storm coming in Black Shroud but not sure if that means Odin coming
using this one https://ffxiv.ariyala.com/HuntTracker/Odin
@robust crow https://garlandtools.org/db/#npc/1022003
any idea in why on my card deck i can only equip 1 rare card and rest can only be 1 star cards? (triple triad)
thanks a bunch
odin's weather is called "Tension"
and basically makes all of shroud look super dark and spooky
thats what im reading. the link i sent looks like hes coming in 60mins? not sure how to rea that tracker
first time using
when it says "Open for" it means that's how long the window for him to possibly spawn has been
but either way i would take the hunt tracker with a bit of salt because its entirely dependent on people actively updating it
@molten spruce it's them rules. you need 60 cards collected before you can use unlimited 3 star cards but the rare card rule remains for 4 and 5 star cards
the world boss fates do have a force spawn after...72 hrs iirc, so assuming that tracker has been actively updated
ahh i was in wrong server. Mateus got nothing sadly
then yeah he would be spawning soonish
what do I do with the approved stuff in ishgard restoration?
craft restoration turn ins or sell on the marketboard
Ty
How many people do I need for Nidd EX?
Which nonhealers can quick rez?
Summoner and red mage
Thanks!
Question, i just finished and won in a pvp map Onsal Hakair and i dont understand why it didnt count as a progression towards the achievement one steppe at a time.
don't flame a red mage for not rezzing you in crystal tower 
do i need to unlock something or do something for this?
we did win though
Are you sure đ
Thatâs second place
1000 is first place
lol
red mage can't rez until 64
@robust crow Noted!
Where can i get lvl 45 monk weapon the shop doesnt sell it
Peisteskin Cesti can be bought from vendors in the main city-states and dhona
it's level 46
Fak im lvl 46
Its like weird i need a lvl 45 to do enough damage to job quest
They are killing me too fast
And im not doing enough damage cuz im rocking a lvl 38 wep

Consider the rest of your gear too
Well the rest is 45
Or the closest
I cleared it its fine for some reason the stores sell akward leveled gear
i have a question
I may have an answer
i want to be a tank and im making my first character, i know i can be a 2 hand sword
but i just see guardian
DRK is a HW job. You need to clear all of A Realm Reborn to unlock it.
im confused
dark knight rewards completion of the ARR 2.5 quests + access to Ishgard + a level 50 job
you cannot access DRK out of the gate
so what do i do?
Play the game as any ARR job until you can finish the ARR MSQ
If you want to run a tank to start, Gladiator and Marauder are the two available to start with.
if you wish to get a head start on how to tank, play either Gladiator or Marauder
i dont know what ARR MSQ is, or ARR 2,5 quests , or acces to ishagard.
GLD uses sword and shield. MRD used a big axe.
MSQ is the Main Scenario Quest
Everything is locked behind it
basically everything
so it doesnt matter what i start with?
Dark Knight is the class youre interested in. You need to play more into the game to unlock it
pick anything
A lot more
If you want to tank for practice, start gladiator or marauder first
But you can play all the jobs on one character
ah okay
Just a quick super dumb question from me.....
Does SAM have any positional?
I am looking through all my abilities..
Yes. Kasha and Gekko get positionals at 52.
It has two but they don't start as positionals.
Kasha is flank and Gekko is Rear.
Since they don't give you bonus damage but instead give more resource for landing the correct position.
what does a legacy world mean? and i see i cant join behemoth? is it kuz im new?
you can safely ignore the Legacy tag
legacy isn't related to you
it just means that its a server that houses REALLY old characters
characters from the previous version of FFXIV (from 2010) got imported to Legacy servers, and there used to be restrictions on transferred off of them, but not anymore
!faq serverlock
Standard, Preferred, and New Servers will dynamically open and close themselves from newly created characters depending on how many players are online. To ensure you're able to make a new character on your server try waiting or doing so at a less active time of day.
Congested Servers will not unlock for new players or transfers until Square Enix removes the Congested Status.
Will doing a lvling after boost still give decent exp
yes, as the exp from your daily roulettes scale to your level
when you don't need that card for seals/have no more redraws
how is there anything left after the calamity
that looked pretty destructive
it was basically an entire moon crashing into the planet
why am i getting taxed when im in ishgard and the retainer is from ishgard
Because in 5.2 they changed it so buyer is always taxed
there are taxes in this game?
yeah on th mb
i find that hilarious

pretty much every mmo i know of with an auction house has something similar
its a gil/money sink
does anyone know a gillionaire
oh hey
youre pfp @twilit arch
oh hey youre in game
go back to playing league

Are queue times for potd floors 61-70 long?
they'll generally be a bit longer yeah, even moreso during off-hours. The floors people tend to do most is 51-60 since you can start at 51, entering at level 60 in there, and it's the fastest for exp farming (which is what most people do with potd)
Alright I realized I have 30 irregular tombstones and can get a mount. Should I for Bomb palanquin or Boreas? Are either of them really rare or hard to get on their own
@raw solstice thanks!!! Iâm also doing it for the exp, but I want some of the red weapons
@leaden ginkgo neither are particularly hard. The first one requires ranking up the kobold beast tribe, which is super easy just takes a bit of time. Boreas requires farming shiva extreme until you get the mount drop, which is RNG but a pretty fast, easy farm since you can do it unsynced (even solo if you want). But if you get unlucky then it could still take a while to drop, even with decent drop rates
Thanks! I think Iâll go for the bomb one then because itâs pretty swaggy. I havenât gotten to any extreme content yet but I assume that one wonât be too hard at a certain point if it can be soloed
is it good exp for gatherers in ishgard restoration? or i should jus stick with leves
oh for gatherers, whoops, i misread
yeah, you only get exp for turning in the grade 2 materials
yeah for gatherers you just gather the skybuilder's materials in diadem and them turn them in for scrips
gatherers exp comes from gathering in diadem itself
is the exp good?
with exp manual and food, its pretty decent
or leves are still better??
though leves are going to be better exp, diadem's less of an investment
and less movement overall
is there any news of additional housing? hoping for one in ishgard hehe
For the anima weapon can you do all dungeons unsynced?
yes
Is Void Ark worth doing?
Is there a way to enable some sort of message timers? as in X player sent a Y message at Z time
for void ark, you get some cool cutscenes and lore about the voidsent
and get to see Cait Sith
@leaden ginkgo The Firmament is extremely likely going to be the Ishgardian housing district, but there's been no sight of a possible release date. Same goes for more housing wards.
Man, I gotta grind Gil so I can nab one, noted.
@mossy tartan you can turn on timestamps for messages in the log settings of the character config.
hmm guess ill grab an apt first, which apt area has the best view right outside building and in windows?
Thank you, found it
Apartments don't have windows.
yeah, they are just fake windows to give light đŠ
But I'd say in terms of position the one in Kugane is pretty nice.
Limsa/Mists too.
ohh i was hoping wed have a view out
right now im choosing between limsa and kugane
limsa has the beach, kugane has nice little park
can someone help me make a name for my elezen i suck at this lmao
TL;DR: if you want lore accurate make it sound french
Le Elf
the name i want with it doesnt really fit which sucks... im trying too make either "sam" or "samuel" into an elezen name lmao
Here's also an OF post that has the naming conventions for Elezens https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/61148
Elezen
Both the Wildwood and Duskwight Elezen are proud clans from a proud race. The forenames and surnames used by them have changed little since the time when they first crossed into Eorzea from the north. However, over the ages, due to bad blood b...
(official, not fan-made)
make it sound french how do i do that lol
basically follow the tips in the post
so for Sam as a male you can do something like Samoux or female can do Samette
yeah mine is a dude so idk haha
is there a list of good names that work better with the ending of them name. like idealy i would like Samuel or sam for a male elezen but it just isnt sounding right
You can try this name generator and take inspiration from what it spits out. https://www.fantasynamegenerators.com/elezen-names.php
Elezen name generator, Final Fantasy. 10,000's of names are available, you're bound to find one you like.
it also uses the rules from the previous link I posted.
where do i find 24 people
For the 24-man duties? Just queue for them, they're casual content.
Make sure your Duty Finder is also searching for japanese players too, as judging by your role you're playing on a JP datacenter.
lol
i mean
is ShB more satisfying than SB was?
the place to find my 1st raid
storywise
I definitely enjoyed it a lot more.
good
@kind eagle The starting quest for The Crystal Tower is "The Legacy of Allag" from the Outlandish Man near the aetheryte in Mor Dhona.
@next steppe lol i like it tbh
if he's not there also try checking Saint Coinach's Find to the east, since you may have done the first quest and forgotten about it.
have you finished the 4.1-4.5 content?
found it ty
me? my next msq quest will be ShB's first quest
heh no worries, @lime pendant - my main is Elezen :)
As much as I love ShB, I still think my most memorable moment in the game was when I first got to Ishgard
im thinking of Samueliox or Samoix is good too. same here haha
Elezen is like by far my favorite race and i wish i was literally in the heavens ward
heh you'll get there~
i'm excited for ShB then
ah yeah, Astall sounds a lot better as a starter for elezen names

i just bought a name change cause i use Astall all the time and i thought it fit at the time, but just looking for that more authentic Elezen-french esq name
make me more of a elezen you feel me lol
smth like Astallaine has a nice ring to it
^ it does but is that a male name?
I think -ine is more feminine for elezen, but it's a nice name
Astallaire would be more male
https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/character/29853725/ this is what my guy looks like if that helps, hes more of a mage
Astallaire sounds awesome lol
Thanks đ XD
Silvaire Tuimont!
Yoo thats cool
and yeah, here's how he looks - more of a mage / caster too https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/character/26778411/
Nice glam and yeah your name totally fits him
now i got 10 words for my surname... hmm i have no clue what too put there now lol
any suggestions?
what names do you have in mind?
anything that sounds good with Astallaire i guess or something more noble maybe
wheres the quest for the 1st 24 man raid for shb
i think its in the dwarf village?
am i supposed to go digging around for them?
Starting quest is in Tomra called "Word About Komra", though you may have already did that since it used to give an aethercurrent.
so the followup would be "A Scandal in Komra"
oh ok
i can probally steal a last name from one of the heavens ward nights and see if that fits or just use the name generator. for your last name @next steppe luckless what did you do?
Any good crafting guides out there?
@lime geode pinned in #doh-dol-lounge just grab the role in #612757637813239808
thanks
uh, I don't really know what I did, @lime pendant - I think I just liked how -mont ended the name, and tried a few letters in front, until I got Tuimont
Ahh i see, so its really just a match thing aight
yeah, and what sounds nice to stay after your first name
At least for me, I like it if it flows or sounds nice to say
Is this squat exclusive to male Miqote?
Is there a way to get two lvls per run of potd
like Astallaire Rievaut, Astallaire Vantoux, etc @lime pendant
and yes, @tropic summit - it's a male /groundsit
đ thanks
@obsidian patio Those docs go over crafting rotations and such, but I know nothing about crafting right now. Is there anything that explains it to a complete beginner and explains how to start?
I think 3 or 4 for crystal tower's first part?
can i skip
I got something. Astallaire Saintvaut sounds good. Something holy as a last name would be ideally awesome
It is 3-4 quest..
heh yeah, that's where I got the Vant- part at the start of the last name
@lime geode
You use synthesis skills to increase the progress of a craft to actually finish crafting the item, while you use Touch skills to increase the Quality, which decides the chance of the end result becoming High Quality.
Synthesis and Touch skills also take away durability from the craft, which is like the Craft's HP. If it hits 0 you fail the craft (unless you also filled up the progress bar right when it hit 0) and usually lose the materials that were used in the craft. You get skills to mitigate this by either directly restoring Durability or by reducing how much durability Synthesis/Touch skills take away.
Ok, so let's say I start at leatherworking. I go and say "I want to be a leatherworker" then just go buy some mats and equipment?
you'd unlock the class like any other combat class, but yes
If I may:
Craftmanship stat affect your Synthesis.
Control stat affect your Touch.
CP stat works like MP, you spent CP to use skills. CP is reset to full once you finish a craft.
Crafting classes are very easy to level if you have the gil.
Crafters use their own equipment and tools to boost their stats. Craftsmanship boost Synthesis skills, Control boosts Touch skills, and CP boosts CP, which is your resource for using skills.
I think I better go just start one to try and understand what you guys are talking about.
Yeah it's a little overwhelming at first. Best to see it firsthand imo.
Yeah I tried googling "best crafting for healers" and the answers were like "uhh, you have to do them all"
pretty much.
So it sounds a bit different than a typical job.
Crafting classes feed materials into each other and the endgame crafts use materials from multiple crafts.
So an endgame healer chestpiece crafted by Weaver could also use pieces from Goldsmith, Leatherworker, and Alchemist.
But if the best content is from raids, what is the purpose of crafting (aside from meals and repairing gear).
In the context of raid, crafted gear is the best on day 1
Leveling crafting is F A S T
Because you can get them as fast as you can make them
Which will help ya live through a raid
@next steppe how does Astallaire Saintmont, Astallaire Saintoix, Astallaire Saintault, Astallaire Saintier, Astallaire Saintcier or Astallaire Saintrier sound? i dont know what too pick lol
saintier sounds nice
im stuck between saintoix or saintier oof
saintier sound better with the first name though so i might go for that
is asking questions about ACT allowed?
yes
melding isn't super worthwhile until you hit 80, honestly. You end up going through gear fast enough and the benefits are rather minimal
Stat/Meld priority for basically everyone is Crit > DH > Det. SpS / SkS can be largely ignored until 80.
if you were to min-max you would absolutely want sps on BLM
but I would strongly advise against min-maxing while leveling
If you have the capability to meld your own gear and materia laying around, its fine. If not, dont waste your gil.
Just dont forget to extract it back out as you upgrade your shit.
ok, thank you
quick stupid question lol, how do you toggle walk?
can the materia gamble at Mutamix yield higher tier materia?
Yes, it can. Rarely.
I am using the default Kagerou parcing meters and cannot seem to enable color coated dps bars is there something I am doing wrong?
@little swift thank you! đ
somewhat lacking in color
The white thing is the bar.
oooo
what do rangers use? strength or int? or is it like dex?
just kuz story is giving me only strength or int optiojns
Archers use Dex as their main stat
I assume you mean Archer/Bard, and the answer is Dex

At early level, most pieces of gear has multiple main stats. Like you'll see quite a few pieces with Str and Dex. As your levels get higher, though, the gear splits into the actual sub-role types. As long as the gear has your main stat on it, you'll be fine however.
Where do I find the beginner leves for leatherworker? The guild lady mentioned them but I don't see anyone to talk to.
Adventurer's Guild in Gridania. Right next to the inn. It's, uh... south of the main aetheryte.
adventurer's guild, there's an npc near the inn keeper
thanks guys
yes
is there only 1 24 man raid in shb rn?
alright
Yes
should i prioritize raid or continue 2.4
thats up to you
if you are enjoying them you should finish them
the story has relevance to shadowbringers
How often can I farm for Nier Gear and Coffers? Once a week?
Or is the gear farm as much as I want, but the clusters are limited?
okay thank you. I was under the impression gear was once a week too ..
I've been doing it once a week this whole time ..

What in the world is âsharper fang and clawâ? I unlocked the Fang and Claw attack for Dragon, but I can never activate it.
How seriously should I prep for e1n? Should I watch videos, perfect my opener to the last OGCD, do the stone sky whatever thing? First lv80 raid I will ever have done.
I think either full thrust or chaos thrust activates it
@slate crow "Sharper Fang and Claw" / "Enhanced Wheeling Thrust" activate when you have Blood of the Dragon active, and land the third hit in your combo. Fang and Claw activates from Full Thrust, Wheeling Thrust activates from Chaos Thrust.
As you unlock more abilities/traits, you will be able to keep Blood of the Dragon active at all times.
Ahh. I see. Thanks.
Another thing I was wondering was are there more areas after HW that requires the tedious process of aether currents?
Every area after HW does
it's not too terrible if you remember to hit the aether compass as you get to new parts of the map through the course of the msq
Only Azys Lla, the 6th zone for Heavensward, has no overworld currents, only ones from the story.
usually it's only like 100 yalms away from your current path
No
oof
tbh, generally the "best" strat for HW/SB is to do MSQ only until you finish MSQ for the zone - this will unlock the first tier of speed increase. then get your currents / other unlocks done.
why they expensive tho
The speed increase will make the rest of it easier
Because one of the materials used to make it (Enchanted Elm Lumber) is a rare drop from the Zonureskin Treasure map dungeon
Its expensive because it requires gardening mats and map drops. Both of which suck.
Nobody is going to give those away for free
not really the place to beg for it
if you do happen to have the materials, you can request a crafter make it for you
ill do that ^
wasnt expecting one for free, was just messing
getting a bed isnt particularly help needed urgently
try to keep the shitposting to a minimum on this channel : )
the craft itself isn't difficult since you don't need it to be HQ
just finishing the craft is all thats needed
what's the typical base progress of a lvl 80 crafter, out of curiosity
I actually have a friend who uses a map and flies me to the currents.
what do you mean by base progress?
he wants to know how much 100% synth will increase the progress bar by
Whereâs a place to post close calls in dungeons? Like just to share?
yeah
ah okay
at 100%
so difficulty of 4000 is pretty easy then
not any of the powerful synth skills like groundwork or veneration
I mean, the bar is ~4k-ish if thats what you're asking. The progress you gain from a synth would be highly dependent on your craftsmanship stat though.
you have to consider that you also have to use your durability to increase the quality as much as possible
oh, was just wondering about the bed thing, since you said the bed doesn't have to be HQ
fiddling with teamcraft, my unbuffed brand of the elements does 755 progress
I'm slowly bringing all my crafters from 50 up to 63
For housing items you just do Muscle Memory -> Veneration -> Spam Groundwork until its done.
ah
balm, the magicked bed is a mount btw
Oh, lol
!mount magicked bed
Once upon a time, in the Kingdom of Voeburt, there lived a member of the royal family slothful of body but quick of mind. This man desired naught more than to never be parted from his pillow, and so commissioned a bed that could fly...only to swiftly take to the sky without paying for it. He, presumably, lived happily ever after.
Crafted by Carpenter (Crafting)
yup
I notice that both 'Powerful Hookset' and 'Precision Hookset' negate the inefficient hooking debuff from Patience while fishing, but is there any way to tell apart which kind of fish/misc. creatures have strong and weak bites?
Yes
The exclamation points above your head when it bites
2 = Powerful, 1 = Precision.
!= precise, !! / !!!=powerful
Ah, I see, I gotta test that out.
Thanks in advance.
Hmm, I don't see it, might be because of limited animations turned on, but I'm having difficulties remembering where to toggle that off/on.
anyone else had issue's with miner class skill not unlocking iv done my class quest till lvl 60 quest and all the skills from lvl 50- lvl 57 still greyed out đŠ
Nope. Which probably means one of those things you said isnt correct.
some of those skills are for collecitbles
they only activate when you put on collector glove or whatever skill it was to toggle collector mode
Hmm, true. Though the 55 skill wouldnt be.
o i didnt think of that ill have to test it out
how come i can't equip these
@simple shore ty
All of the ones listed there are tanks
If I finish the âreturn to ivaliceâ quest + raid series, where do I obtain the relic weapon?
I donât see it on the rewards list
you need to pick up the quest "Hail to the Queen" in kugane to get started on the shb relic
Go back to Kugane market and there should be a new blue quest
relic isn't obtained directly from the return to ivalice raid series
its just the prerequisite to unlock it, since the shb relic is a continuation of that story

Okay, thank you
no
that's a weekly quest for the anima relic
which just has you run the crystal tower raids
oh
as an early tank, would melding tenacity be a waste ?
melding tenacity in general isn't very valuable
ok perfect
don't bother with melds until you hit 80
and even then its not the end of the world to not be melding
if you want
could also try your luck at materia transmutation to see if you get a higher grade materia
That said - if your objective is to make money with them, dont just blindly transmute. III's are alot more valuable than II's or IV's on the MB usually because of crafter quests.
just hit lvl 50 on my character, how or where can I get a weapon for that level?
somebody in game told me I should get a relic weapon
is it worth it?
no, don't bother with the lvl 50 relic
Glamour
just buy x1 encrypted tomestone and 10x (x7 if pld) Rowena's Tokens (Poetics) from Auriana
You should get an Ironworks magitek Weapon for 500 Allagan Tomestones of Poetics.
and exchange that to Aelina for the ironworks weapon
^
what item level are those?
120, augmentable to 130
I have 1k poetic tomes
Best gear available at level 50, and will last you through to like level 55, or 57 at a stretch
Buy the weapon and then a chestpiece or pants
Ironworks gear is much much better than job set.
if the guy who was asking about tenacity melds is still here don't sell doh-dol materia if you plan to level those
Get Ironworks.
since those can sometimes make a pretty huge difference
especially for the 50-60 doh quests
something seriously screwy with the difficulty of those crafts, I think
Getting the Ironworks accessories is also a big boost because your current accessories are likely lower-level ones
like some of the later ones litterally don't even let you attempt the crafts if you don't have on level armor that's HQ'd, good melds, or good food
or some combination of the above
Um
As long as you keep your gear updated it shouldnât be a problem
Youâre greatly exaggerating the difficulty
well that's not how it was for me, just doing the 50-60 stuff pretty recently
Remember the difference between NQ and HQ gear is quite significant
all on level gear including HQ accesories I had to go out of my way to craft and I didn't reach the control minimums without food and materia
Crafting your own gear is normal at that point
But you may also need some better rotations
If youâre having such a degree of trouble.
no I don't mean I couldn't reach 100%
I mean it litterally would not let me attempt the craft
any use of shields for black mage post lvl 50?
no
Then your gear was not anywhere near appropriate.
shields are phased out at that point for blm/whm
it was the best gear that I could get
without crafting it myself
for hq
it was all on level stuff
Youâre sort of... expected to craft for yourself at that point to be quite honest
and if they intend for you to craft it yourself then it doesn't make sense that the jobquests themselves reward you with gear that is supposed to be useless
Remember that your main hand and offhand are extremely important for stats.
those were on level as well
It doesnât sound like youâre telling the whole story, because the required stat breakpoints for those crafts are not that extreme.
Adept gear at 58 helps, but even then itâs not actually necessary
Not to mention that doing those quests on-level is kind of pointless. Just get higher level by grinding Ishgardian Restoration.
hmm, the npc won't let me buy weapon for poetics, only for my other class, does my new lvl 50 job require to clear praetorium too?
You can get by with HQ gear from the previous quest tier.
the adept gear was basically useless
are you talking to the correct npc @leaden ginkgo
also the one that specifically locked me out instead of just being really hard was the weaver 60 quest
Aelina has Ironworks weapons for every job except dancer and gunbreaker.
I took every crafting class to 71 using Ishgardian Restoration. The only gear i used was the level 50 tool rewards, level 51 vendor gear, and set of level 61 vendor gear. Had no issues getting to 71. and then i crafted a full set of 71 HQ gear for myself which lasted me until 80 and was good enough to make a full set of 80 HQ gear. Any difficulty you're having is either because your gear is even further behind than that, or you're not using the correct abilities.
1-49 i literally used crafter class rewards only
didnt even buy vendor items
Ok so itâs only at 60, not 50â60 as you said.

Thereâs a jump there because youâre at a level cap, but the basic 60 crafted gear is definitely sufficient
Or even just HQ 55 gear with a few extra pieces.
you're also not expected to HQ the lvl 60 crafter
Crafting level (50/60/70) gear is inadvisable. Get to 51/61/71 instead and make that gear.
Theyâre saying they didnât meet the required craftsmanship
To actually begin the craft
when did you guys last level a crafter from 50-60
The stat requirements have not changed Russell
So it doesnât really matter that I did it four years ago
Gear is the same as it was
my assumption was that something got screwed up in 5.2 or whatever but if you did it last week then I guess I was doing something wrong
But I seriously have no idea what it would be
Well, what specific item are you trying to craft.
Lets make sure we're on the right page with that.
I'm already done
but the one I had the specific trouble with was that weaver piece
although weirdly I feel like that one was easier to craft than the others once I met the requirements
115
202
64 (71 HQ)
55 (61 HQ)
45 (50 HQ)
36 (40 HQ)
â» Materia Slots: 2
â» Advanced Meldable: Yes
â» Repaired By: Weaver
â» Repair Material: Grade 6 Dark Matter
â» Dyable: Yes
â» Desynthesis: Yes
â» Desynth Level: 20
I dont even see a craftsmanship requirement listed on that.
It has a control requirement
I was the one who said craftsmanship
Ah
Well, either way. 589 isnt very hard to hit on-level even. Food can help if you're short on stuff like that.
But regardless of that, its not really worth wasting time on crafter quests 50-66 (though you can just power through to 71 without manip too...) until you're 66/71. Just keep plowing Ishgardian Restoration.
looking through my discord logs I was also having trouble with the level 55 quests where my craftsmanship was at 460
