Probably not the best place for this question but what are good things to spend company seals on when capped at 90k?
prisms, venture tokens, coke/other crafting materials that sell well
Oh didn't think of that
why can't I see the third quest?
to craft HQ grade 3 tinctures, is 470 scrip gear sufficient?
how is mid and end game like for this game? Are instance dungeons higher difficulties requires guild mates or can we mostly randomly join public rooms and have fun?
do I have to get my reputation higher? I've done all beast tribes missions I could on the moogle
That's the rank 2 quest so yes Yuuko
You can pug higher end raids but you'll be bashing your head against a brick wall alot
Doable but slightly more headache inducing cause pugs are pugs
most of the game's content is doable through duty finder
the highest end of content, savage raiding, is a steep increase in difficulty and will require you to study the fights
but is still doable with a party finder party
assuming you join one that has also studied the fight
That's the rank 2 quest so yes Yuuko
I am 2. recognized. guess it's not enough?
If it says Extreme, Minstrel's Ballad, Savage or Binding Coils, then you do it through party finder
but throughout the story, dungeons and bosses become more difficult to start preparing you for higher end raiding
Its the rank up quest
Did you do your 3 quests for the day? If so, you need to wait until the next day. Which 3 you get will be more or less random.
Rank up quests dont count towards the daily
When you're maxed out on that rep you can take it
Yeah that's why ranking up beast tribes takes a while, it's only 3 quests a day
yesterday I somehow managed to do 6, today only 3
Because you ranked up
When you rank up, you can do 3 more
Unless you rank up to 7 or 8, those dont have additional quests for the day
Usually takes around a month to max out a tribe, and the moogle dance is at the 2nd to last rank I believe
So around 3 weeks
Gotta put in the time if you want the swagger
Fairly certain it takes more than 2 and a half weeks, a month after release is usually when I max out new tribes when I do them
and I rarely miss more than 1-2 days
but maybe I'm wrong
Hi guys. Where can I repurchase the Level 60 SMN job gear? the antiquated caller set?
Forgotten Knight in Ishgard, for Centurio Seals
Thanks
you also get it free for completing the lv60 job quest

if I'm AST and I play a card on myself, does it increase my healing amount?
No, it's only damage
it takes 20 days to max out a tribe so a bit more than 2 and half weeks
Wait can you combine status effects (other) with buffs into one bar?
welp apparently if you queue before reset and you finish after reset it takes up your reward for the new day
Yep
yes, thats what was said earlier
oh I must have misread then
https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Reputation
This says 41 days for Moogles at least, at 3 quests a day, so a few less days due to rank ups
yeah I did
i question that just because it says "highest rep giving quest"
which....you don't have a choice and all of the dailies for expansion tribes give the same amount of rep
but either way though you don't need bloodsworn for the dance so its not going to take 41 days
its going to be less
What are the names of the 2 serpent monsters that spawn in ||bismarck’s|| trial?
So'Suwa and Ul'Sanuwa
Thank you
if I unlock a new class, i have to level up from lvl 1 right?
If its a base class
For the most part yes
Expansion jobs start higher
are grade 3 tinctures craftable in HQ with just the 470 white scrip gear
But job introduced in an expansion starts at a higher level
yes
Samurai starts at 50, Dark Knight starts at 30
50 and 30 respectively
dark knight, astrologian and machinist at 30
samurai and red mage at 50
gunbreaker and dancer at 60
does MSQ roulette give a lot of exp?
yes
Yes
yes
ok ty
In terms of raw xp
In raw xp,more...in terms of xp/per, probably less
Prae is 30 minutes of cutscenes almost to the second
great to watch some anime or do chores or something
And usually 15-20ish minutes of actually doing shit
as long as the tanks know what they're doing and skip pulls 😛
Praetorium from MSQ roulette is a solid half a level or more, even on your highest level job, until like 70 minimum
Where is the flame company
oh
Go right after coming out
i completely forgotten
if you max out every beast tribe, would you ever do beast tribes to make gil?
or is it just not worth it
eh i mean they're like 5 minutes of work
You can sell some of their exclusive dyes or rank locked materials perhaps.
but generally no, i dont bother with tribes once i'm done with them and have stuff i want from them

Any ideas why I get this when I try to log in on my friends PC I have subscription
hi!! is the only way to get Atmas doing FATEs?
If you have a Steam FFXIV account, you need to use Steam. If you have a Windows FFXIV account, you need to use the Windows launcher. @finite socket
yes the only way to get atmas is to do fates with a zenith weapon equipped @lavish vortex
thanks, do you know the drop rates? ive done 5 already in the north shroud and no Atma yet
@vagrant copper so I have to download the game over on steam, no way around it ?
Correct
you can redirect the install to those folders I think but otherwise yeah gotta redownload it
nothing that's for sure, but its guestimate to be around 25%
what is that sad face?
its the busy status
Is there a point to giving Retainers Level 80 rings if all they do is give +GP?
Just to make sure, this is the weapon I have to use to get atmas from fates right? And north shroud, correct?
Is there a page/message somewhere with a collection of auto translate macros for dungeons? assuming that's what people use anyway
I have to play on a JP server and I'm a bit sick of being "mute"
rng is rng, just have to keep doing fates until you get one
Thanks
@polar haven http://www5.plala.or.jp/SQR/ff14/etc/dictionary/
チャット入力状態でTabキーを押すと使用できる定型文の一覧。
@polar haven If you start typing what you want to say and press Tab (or R1 if you're on controller) it will pull up a list of AT terms that match that word.
@gloomy mortar nope, but some level 80 rings do give some stats other than GP so if you're retainer is short a few points you can also give them cheaply melded accessories as well
Just remember that AT is fairly limited in scope, so you're not going to be able to have really coherent conversations most of the time.
ah, I didn't know you could do that
I'm not looking to have conversations with AT, don't worry about that
I only learned about the shortcut recently myself, and I've been playing for five years 😄
It's just that almost everyone I find in duty roulette says something at the start and end of the dungeon
meanwhile I haven't said a single thing, not even a thank you
Oh! The hello/goodbye are pretty easy. You can just macro those into a quick salutation.
yeah, a macro was more what I was looking for (but the other thing seems useful anyway)
something I press at the start and another I press after the end boss
I'll go look up how to actually use the macro system
For straight text all you need is:
/p
Let's do it!
(for example)
How do you turn off other people’s Minion names but keep the player names?
It's one of the checkboxes under nameplate settings, as I recall
Character config > name settings > npcs > minions
How do dark blue dye looks like
did dragon gauge get changed? it doesnt show me the eye charges or anything and doesnt have the cool dragon design
@kind eagle you can right click on an item and hit "view as dyed"
and then see that item how it would appear dyed
@molten spruce Check out https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/jobguide/dragoon/ If that's not what you remember, then it probably got changed
Ty
i mean im new, im just seeing shadowbringer vids and their gauge is way different
and stormblood too
The gauges change as you level up and get more skills
You get eye charges at 70
Life of the dragon requires the level 70 job quest, yes
As it has to do with Life of the dragon and Nastrond

Does blacklisting someone mean you don’t get emote notifications in your chat window too?
If a FC moves to a bigger house, do the private rooms go with it or do they have to be rebought?
what's the least played job?
Blue Mage
If you believe FFXIVCensus.com, ... Blue Mage followed by dancer? Though they're basically all so close that it doens't matter
Does the queue pause during cutscenes?
i would not believe ffxivcensus
especially for active character information
and no, queue doesn't pause
Which can be quite annoying if you've switched off the class that you queued with
for classes like armorer and blacksmith, are those combat classes? because they are treated as classes but doesn't sound like combat classes
Those are crafting classes
do they have the same level cap as the combat classes?
yes
and I bet that you level them via crafting right?
Yes
Crafting/doing crafting quests/other crafting activities like Grand Company supply stuff
what's the best way to grind MGP?
!faq mgpguide
is there level 50/60 scrip gear?
Those are the biggeat ones
yes, there is
thought the 50 scrip gear is job specific
Er
60
sorry, 50 doesn't have scrip gear
easiest gear at 50 to get is the artisan set from gc seals. the gathering only has the mh and helm iirc
is there a place that shows images of the weapons so I can decide what I want to try and get for glamour?
thanks, i'll check the gc set out
gamerescape
gamerescape has images galleries
I cant find a gallery, I can find the list of weapons and their stats I just want to see what they look like
Did you click on the weapon?
so I have to go weapon by weapon? oof that's gunna take a while
I found this weird floating flame in Il Mheg. Any idea what that's about?
I've never seen it before
Screenshot? Spoiler tag just in case
When you upload the picture, there's gonna be a spoiler tag check mark
I don't think there's one on mobile though
No idea honestly
Is it there for other people or is it just me? If anyone's able to check
Is there anything on the other side of the terrain? Might just be a buggy reflection.
Can anyone tell me what hairstyle this is? :)
On Android, you can rename a photo something like SPOILER_filename.png
thanks @twilit arch ^-^
is there an lfg on here for people who want to do older content? ie I want to get the giant golden chicken so I need to do the extreme hw trials
You can post in the recruitment channels if you want though most farming like that is just done through PF ingame
id say PF is your friend
That's mostly just party finder, plenty of people run old extremes for that
45 minute wait on extreme trials one afternoon pf is not my ally
Ask your FC too - our FC ran Ravana and Bismark for birbs this past weekend
Farms will be more active in the evening, for sure
Ravana was nice, Bismark was Not Nice
Bismarck is nice. It just takes long. Which makes it not nice. I lied.
Bismarck sux because it takes so long
also he just wasn't dropping birbs
in addition to it taking 6 years
and by 6 years i mean 3.5 minutes
I actually like the Bismarck fight
The fight itself isn't bad it just has a lot of downtime
oh sure, but just coming from unsynced Ravana with 5 level 80s and a level 70 there's just a ton of transition
it's fun and challenging when people actually actually remember to use the barrier so we dont start the second half of the fight with less than 45 hp remaining
pfft we never touched the barrier unsynced
Does anyone know a good amount about discord?
Like very familiar with running a server?
Someone in #technology-discussion might
Ok
is there any way to get a 1 time password on pc or through email?
running diagnostics and doing a backup on my phone rn cause screen is broken
and cant access the app atm
You should've gotten a recovery password when you first created your one time password
If you have that you should be able to disable it temporarily until you can access your phone again
alright thanks

If I’m a noob (~ lvl 30, first ff14 experience), at what point is it worth joining a FC?
the social aspect, but they also have buffs they can put up that can you get you more battle exp, increase food buffs, crafting exp
the half cost of tele is nice especially at low lvls
So it’s worth doing it as soon as possible? It seems like a lot are oriented towards endgame/later content, and more experienced players
if the company is actively keeping the buffs up i think its worth it. but there are a lot of casual ones too
fcs for the most part are usually social stuff
there certainly are some end-game focused free companies, but generally people join a static for that. and those aren't necessarily tied to their free company
what causes enochian to refresh? cause i'll still be in AF or UI and it'll go down and from reading the description all it says is it turns off if im not in AF/UI but i'm not letting that run out so...?
but there's no harm in joining an fc and leaving if you don't like it
you need to switch between AF/UI to refresh enochian
i've heard of some FCs that don't allow rejoiners i.e. if you leave they expect you to be gone forever
they're jerks though
How hard is it to level from 60 to 80?
so you're saying, kaelwryn, that once BLM unlocks enochian you no longer play by emptying and refilling mana but instead by the enochian meter
i.e. even if you havent spent all your mana you have to go to ice before enochian runs out
Only players that were kicked are never welcome anymore normally in FC's. But yeah, there are FC's that act like cults.
I was thinking of buying the paladin scroll to 80 because I know gunbreaker and dark knight atart at like 50 and 60
but im not out of MP before i'm done casting fire IVs
dark knight starts at 30
buying those scrolls, especially on tank, just seems like a poor idea to me
its why the lv 80 rotation is 3 f4 > 1 f1 > 3 f4s
60-80 can be pretty fast with best tribes and dungeon queues on tanks
i levelled paladin recently from 34 (where i left it in heavensward) to 80, and the slowest part by far was 60-80
so you refresh your AF stack and keep enochain
the early levels were so fast
Your rotation looks like B3 T3 F3 F4 (till you have to refresh AF/UI) then F1, F4 till out of mana, B3 repeat
Yea gunbreaker at 60 seems solid to me thankfully so I won't buy a scroll but paladin and dark knight start much lower
But I understand you should get the fundamental first
so i have to put a F1 in middle of the F4s
yes
To refresh AF/UI yeah
I'm going through warrior now and I'm 45
whats a polyglot stack
F4 won't do it for you
cos f4 doesn't refresh AF
You get a Polyglot every 30s enochian is up when you're 70+
man i do not understand this job
You can use it to cast Foul or Xenoglossy
Foul is 70, Xeno is 80
Foul is AoE with cast time, Xeno is single target and instant
foul is a lot of potency
Till you get Xenoglossy, just cast Foul whenever during Ice phase
only get it by casting umbal soul?
Also can be consumed to make your Flare cost 2/3 of your mana rather than all of it
If you have that trait
blizzard IV never lights up and i don't understand why cause all I need is enochian and umbral ice?
so when i hit blizzard III
why doesn't B4 light up
Blizzard IV enables you to cast more Fire IVs so you always wanna cast it in ice phase
why would it light up
?
why wouldn't it light up if i have UI and Enochian
that's what it requires right?
I feel that I've never seen it lit up
Is warrior sought for in end game or its not the patch for it?
i just mean lit up as in usable, not darkened
yeah that's what I realised
Everything is fezz
@eternal grove doesn't matter, play any job, all are viable
!faq meta
Ok cool
Should be able to use it under Umbral Ice if you have Enochian up too
Just wanna play tanks for now
If not, then you're doing something wrong
Play what you want. People want competence not meta
i can't make the bars on black mage make any fuckin sense
Switch to the simple mode
all tanks are fun 
not talking about the gauge
what bars then
though it doesnt make sense that enochian runs out left to right either
my hotbars
i can't arrange them in a sensible way
ah, those bars
I group them by element
I'll check out dps later on, was looking at monk or Samurai
A handful of skills can just be removed if you're not planning on playing lower level stuff
Like Blizzard 2, Lucid, Fire 2, those are all completely useless at level cap
Remove Lucid, you never need it
Blizzard 1 is useless
Sleep is useless
Until synced
Scathe not great either
you dont even use lucid for a slight boost during ice phase when you're getting your shit back?
No
Scathe is situationally good so I wouldn't remove it
It doesn't change anything
Yeah no, you regen all your mana in two ticks in Ice phase 3
Makes no difference whatsoever
Flare
!faq blmlevelling
Too many l's
forget the one
so
!faq blmleveling
what od you do
ty
freeze and flare?
And Thunder 4
Here's all the best rotations at every level
freeze T4 F3 Flare Flare repeat
And f3 for the af ui swapping
yeah
man im moving my hands all over these bars to do that, i gotta find a better way
playing this job is misery
Put F4 in an easy to reach space at least, it's your main button
BLM has a super comfy rotation once you get down to it, but I agree it's daunting at first
do you mean the mini map or the actual map Angel?
!faq poetics
i just feel like i can't understand the abilities just by reading them
i can't read it and understand exactly what its going to do or how it's going to work cause i can't keep everything else in my head
i highly recommend removing the circular one from your hud altogheter
there will be exactly two places where you will miss it - when levelling miner or botanist, or when you wanna know the weather in eureka or something
the latter, you'll get used to what weathers look like based on the sky
the minimap is rough. for me personally I always am pressing M to just have the main map open. I use the minimap zoomed out and just pay attention to the objective arrows
the former, just turn it on only when you play miner or botanist
as for the square map, it is what it is, not exactly a lot of cusomizing available but at least it has a reasonable range of zoom compared to the circular map
@tulip carbon please use #kupo-bot-spam if you're not using the commands to answer a question
the problem with the circular one is you can't zoom it out enough
ooo yeah, dont know ps4 commands ><
Your choice, honestly, can't make you like the job
im almost 80
It's my favorite by far though lol
so i can delete the scaevan gear i have and free up armory chest slots by sharing gear with my rdm/smn gear
If I send my retainer on a venture will they keep selling?
yes
yes
somehow
That was to me? Lol
yes
Copy
I think I found the map clunky in the first 20 levels but then never found it annoying again
so I dunno what you're talking about without any examples
The map does what I need so 🤷♂️
it needs to be able to be made larger without using the hud scaling option for it cause that doesn't solve the problem
it needs to be able to actually show more, and hud scaling it doesn't show more
You can resize it at will
as for the square map, it's more adequate, and works fine as a square map
but it shouldn't be our only map
If I need to check my position I just open the actual map
we should also have a fullscreen map feature
like opening the map in something like guild wars 1 or 2, for example
and dragging the box is not an alternative cause then you have to also drag it back and it's a whole process
anyway my solution is to just use the square map when i need a map, use no map most of the time, and only ever turn on the circle map when im playing miner and botanist
and i just look at the sky to tell the weather

@leaden ginkgo i just click the blue text line in the quest list
that pops open the square map centered on the destinatiopn
destination*
i take note of where it is, and then I just go there
but i also develop a really strong familiarity with the areas, which eventually leads to not really needing the map to go to my destination after I've checked what the destination is on the map
i.e. at a glance i know where the marker is in the actual world and just go there
but none of this is a real solution i guess its just how I cope with the absolute trash maps
The maps are absolutely fine imo. You're just picky.
the sad thing is i qute like the art of the maps, the sorta parchmenty drawn visual style is great
@simple shore no
They do improve on it later
You can see the verticality of the quest objective as well
How do you make the circle map bigger?
ctrl+home once you have it selected in the hud edit view
note that it's literally just scaling and doesn't actually allow you to see more within the frame of the map
You can get a UI mod that makes it a square instead of a circle. That gets you like... 27% more visible area. Though not really useful area.
is that not a TOS violation?
🤷♂️
I just dont see what the big deal is. I have never once, while gathering or doing any other activity, said to myself "man, this map is too small, its useless"
it's useless
its quite small on resolutions bigger than 1080 in my experience
I have the full map open 95% of the time and still find myself using the minimap 🤷♂️
I'm weird
Useless? That's interesting. I must have divined the location of the untold thousands of mining/botany nodes ive dug up.
Is square enix okay with discord bots?
They dont really have a choice in the matter. Discord is outside of their purview.
I know
Doesn't matter if they're okay or not if it's out of the game
Unless you mean something like, a bot that pings you when your queue pops
Then that probably falls under a grey area
where they don't care
That or they can't detect it
No it does matter
If you talk about it in game could you banned
That’s why I am asking
Just stop people
Hey guys, I leveled a WAR to 46 and started getting pretty bored of doing no dmg so I switched to a DPS, i've been playing a dragoon in palace of the dead and got it to level 35 so far (60 in PoTD so i got most of the abilites) and I just don't like the rotations, I was thinking about playing a monk or something are those any fun?
Was hoping for someone that could answer ToS question
Unless the bot does something to the game, the gms aren't going to do anything about it
because its affects discord
not the game
You asked a really vague question so I think the answers we gave were fine
So they’re okay with the bot that gives market prices?
And fashion report?
It doesn’t do anything to the game
The market prices are fetched from something else that doesn't have anything to do with the bot AFAIK so they'd go for that first
As stated, its not in-game, and its not directly interacting with the game. Therefore they have no opinion on it. This has been their stance pretty much forever.
Ok
And Fashion Report sets are tested and found by players
Nothing against ToS to that
If they were gonna ban for doing that
Okok. Thanks
Then they may as well ban everyone who has ever posted in /r/ffxiv
😮
Ban twitter
That might result in a marked improvement.
Anyone know how to make windup-alpha kweh? I tried /pet on it
Like make a noise?
I don't think it actually reacts to any specific emotes
Maybe with the mameteer title on it would
Mameteer makes Wind-up and mechanical minions act more like regular minions and react to emotes
Collect 30 follow-type minions.
do I have to do a side quest to unlock masked rose at gold saucer?
I think so
they told me I could do something with him but he doesn't talk to me
ah gotcha, thanks!
tyyy
what are heal swings

Where did you hear "heal swings"?
If you accidentally discarded achievement gear, is it gone forever?
on act
Ah, thanks!
Looked it up, it means the amount of hits
So if a WHM has 192 heal swings, they hit people 192 times with their abilities
ah
speaking of act, how should you interpret overhealing? a good chunk of ast ogcd are aoe heals, so even if im just using it for the tank i still get a bunch of overheal
im assuming using an ogcd is better than a benefic cuz it lets you do more dmg spells, but the overheal doesnt look great
Overheal caused by oGCDs doesn't matter if it gained you damage
unless of course you could've saved it a little longer for raidwide damage and then saved a GCD heal in the long run
gotcha, i'll keep that in mind!
Why princess pudding selling so high?
Old event item that's not obtainable anymore
What event is now in effect?
You can buy it on Mogstation but it won't be this specific tradeable version
Dragon Quest collab and Moogle Tomestone Hunt for Law
or whatever that second one is called
is there a quest for veleda on gold saucer?
Not that I know of.
Except maybe if you count the quest that would take you to the gold Saucer
she doesn't talk to me either and I heard you can actually play like a bingo or something there
mm..
Wait, looks like there is a quest for her.
Look for the quest “World of Wonders” by the airship person
oh apparently it was the person on her left the one I had to look to for the lottery
but nice to know there is a quest for veleda^^'
So i just got a new retainer and made it a miner. The issue is that i dont have a lvl 1 pickaxe, theres none on the market, and blacksmith can only make a lvl 8 as its lowest level pickaxe. Is there any other place where i can get a lvl 1 pickaxe?
the miner guild?
do they sell lvl 1 tools?
don't they sell supplies there
how important is this decision ?
!faq grandcompany
Which Grand Company should I choose?
The only differences between the three Grand Companies are the looks of the equipment and where they're located. The story doesn't change in regards to the Grand Company you chose beside the quest that comes after "The Company You Keep". Here are two links leading to sample sets from each of the Grand Companies
Maelstrom
Twin Adders
Immortal Flames
How do I get Grand Company Seals?
You can get more seals mainly by completing your Grand Company Hunting Log (Go to the Hunting Log and click on the GC icon), completing FATEs, and turning in crafted/gathered items to the Personnel Officer if you have crafting or gathering classes unlocked. Once you are Sergeant 2nd Class you can turn in Pink/Green/Blue-rarity gear in for more seals.
not at all
It’s purely aesthetic. There’s no functional difference between them aside from how far they are located from their respective aetheryte.
gridania is the most easy to navigate for me...
plus you can change them later to get the other items
uldah's GC is the closest to the main aehteryte
yeah adders is gridania
flames is uldah
maelstrom is limsa
navigation is really confusing in this game,my only complaint so far 😐
and thank you for the help 🙂
hmm i guess i will go with uldah as you mentioned it being the closes to the aetheryte
its literally out of the entrance to the main aetheryte and to the right
where do I find shine gear lv 60 in ishgard?
Idyllshire, not Ishgard
Shire gear is in Idyllshire, not Ishgard
oh 
should I buy lv 58 gear to replace my ironwork gears?
unless Idyllshire isnt that far off
What level is the MSQ you're on?
I think you can buy iLv255 lv60 gear in Ishgard but I dunno if that's MSQ locked
just got into Ishgard, so right after arr
NQ ILv255*
Ironworks gear will hold until you reach the level 55 dungeon.
You're fine with ironworks then since you're not doing level 60 content yet. MSQ will give you some gear upgrades eventually
these?
so do I have to memorize the way to places in this game
or will it just become 2nd nature the more I play
Becomes second nature in the end
if it makes you feel any better i have close to 900hrs and I still have to look at the map lol
Yes
alright
Or free if you're transfering servers to a server with a character that already has your name
Can save some money in certain situations
ah ok
Like if you're spending the money to transfer anyway, you can make yourself an alt on the destination server with your character's name, transfer with your main and get a free name change
*Only works with Standard sub, unless you ask a friend to create said alt
wow, big brain move
Damn finally finished with the post Ultimate weapon ARR, not going to go through that again 😭
but one question on game logic, now that you're a fugitive, what happen to your daily grand company activities?
Tag your spoilers pls
do you still go about that like normal?
you can still go there
Is Doom spike useful? Seems pretty eh

sorry didn't know just mentioning a quest name is spoiler
yes its an AoE
you're mentioning the state of your character in the game @sullen pulsar
Yeah but isn't it a meh range?
ah got it
it's more about the ||being a fugitive|| part
aoe is good at 3+ targets
Just a straight line
line yourself up to hit more targets then
DRG goes ham with aoes later
the shape of the aoe isn't the important bit since its still quite a fat line
If you hit 3+ targets it's better than doing your regular combo
How does drg compare to Sam tho? Was looking into learning rdm since i struggled a bit with samurai's survivability (close range mechanics were messing with me)
So far it seems a bit tougher
A couple buffs for party members
Tho less dps, which was to be expected
i dont know about Sam, but i found DRG to be much more satisfying at max levels when you have your full kit
DRG’s rotation is much more static since you’re switching between two combos
it didnt really click for me until like 70
Was my first job, but ditched it for bard for idk what reason
I started really liking DRG’s rotation at 64 when you get to do both of the 4th combo moves, which extends it to a 5-part combo
SAM is more hectic and faster
Since that makes the rotation neat and simple
it does feel really limited below 60
what's a fate?
Can be a nice break from questing
ttyy
Are the leveling roulettes worth it without the daily bonus?
Not really. Even the adventure in need bonus is lacking
No
Anything else i could do?
Does anyone know any gloves that remove or hide shirt sleeves?
Highest level leveling dungeon, or potd/hoh
I have the republican signifiers gloves, but I want to know if there are other options.
Ravel Keeper's Gloves which look kinda similar
I'd ask in #glamour-discussion if you don't get your answer here
so after defeating the ultimate weapon how many hours/days does it take to get to HS?
to what
yes
:O
as in towards the heavens
i been reading it as heaven sward
also the name of the temple knights called the Heaven's Ward
i just thought they spelt sword wrong

lmfao

same, i thought it was Heaven Sward
If i log off ans log back in in a sanctuary will it still give me well rested
And the longer your away the more exp boost right?
Yea it has a cap though
Temple knights aka "our knights most heavenly" lel
Heavensward is my favorite expansion so far (in the patches between SB and ShB)
shb will be your new fave
Dunno, I really loved the characters in HW so it's gonna be hard to beat. SB was interesting cuz you saw a bunch of new places w/ their own politics, but the characters in HW were amazing
Ah, I look forward to it then!
spoilers: ||It's just a shame that so many of my favorite characters died in HW >.>||
shb is definitely an emotional rollercoaster
oh no..., not again
stop chopping dem onions >.<
SB is more politics, but still a very good story, a ||----------|| war like a storm and payed with lots of blood.
there's less deaths but definitely more "hhhnnNNNGGGG" moments
@delicate stone
Spoiler: ||most scions didn't die, only 1 knight truly died||.
they know already
spoiler: ||the best knight haucherfant, that and I liked ysayle||
that first one really made me sad, i loved that guy
ikr
||he died right as i started liking him more||
i was like "I KNEW THIS WAS GONNA HAPPEN"
In SB more allied ppl die however, that is also where the title comes from.
ARR: A realm that was reborn after destruction.
HW: Looking heavensward to the dragons
SB: War as a storm and payed with blood.
ShB: WoL brings a lot of shadow.
1.x well..... ||that had no subtitle.||
Every patch has a name that refers to the story btw, i won't spoil anything.
||ever since he died, i started choosing "for those we have lost and those we might yet save" b.c i miss him||
HW also has a group called The Heaven's Ward
But yeah, the writing in this game is great, and there's a lot of clever names for quests and what not
Where is the best place to craft that has a company chest and summon bell as close together as possible
Possibly gridania
Rhalgars reach has them pretty close
Our fc house has a summon bell and chest right next to each other
uldah
if you're thinking about cities
the marketboard summoning bell and company chest are in one space
where the aetheryte is
Neat ty
The bell is pretty far from the aetheryte in Uldah, but you can teleport to it.
I should say Gridania, the marketarea has an FC chest, marketboard and a retainer bell 5m from each other @jagged crow.
i think channy meant the mini aetheryte at the marketplace
Yeah, also a very good place.
because you have to go outside to reach the company chest in gridania
out past the marketboard and teh summoning bell
True
Kugane has them pretty close too, but it's pretty far from every other city
Bell, Market board, and FC chest all on the same street
If I cant afford to buy the game and I have a good friend who plays, can we share the account with me to play when he sleep or whatever or he will get banned? 
is it normal on summoner/scholar for my pets to just stand there doing nothing when I preform one of their actions?
is there a way to turn off the "clicking" sound when spamming a skill
Yes rift cause of how pets que actions
@strong adder technically against ToS but they're more concerned about bots
Might raise a flag if you live far away from each other
Well, different continent
That will likely get the account flagged for suspicious activity.
Reminds me of that old larryzaur(?) video on smn where every other button press was "obey"
Cuz the pet ai can be interesting sometimes lmao
Definitely with ghosting and action duping
i see, ty

@willow marlin what about that 1 time password feature? Using that wil lstill flag the account even if its a feature to literally prove everything is fine
Assumnig he keep giving me the 1 time password everytime he go offline so I can login, we are violating ToS but Enix cannot prove that
So we cant get banned?
its less about 1 time password but more about how frequently the IP address his account is connecting from is changing
and how large that distance is
^
Yikes, its very distant. I dont understand why making such a fuss out of it if the account in question is getting paid by someone
wait, but wouldn't a vpn hide your ip from ff14? why doesn't vpn usage cause problems?
Why they care if 1 or 50 ppl are using the account if its a legal account getting paid monthly
Because they could be making money off of more than 1 person lol
VPN usage can cause problems. It's just not that common. Just like what Alex is running into is not that common.
Ok but still makes no sense to put that in ToS

just play the trial for now if anything
Where else would they put it if not in the ToS?
whats considered a high level duty for the tank mounts?
Account sharing is against ToS
where does leveling roulettes xp reward sit amongst other daily roulettes?
Anything savage or extreme
like % wise
It's pretty good
Unless you get one of the normal trial fights for Garuda/ifrit/titan
and it says full party, so i'd assume i can't unsync arr extremes
would have to unsync with a full aprty
You can
You can
you can unsync
not solo tho, right?
Yws
Yep
Very easily at 80
Still counts
ah okay then 😛
ngl, that time they made you redo titan hard in the story, i just solod it desyncd on my ast lmao. Took like 15 minutes, but i had already been in queue for 10 minutes as a healer lmao
Hey! Ive hit 80 today - very first time now! Im wondering if I should buy the ishgardiam amour from the MB to start.. or is there a more non-expensve way to get a good start?
Not 80, but im guessing tomestone exchange? (that's what my friend rec'd i do lol)
yeah, get gear from 80 roulettes, get phantasmagorica, get deepshadow gear
get allegory, get crystarium gear
this also depends on how far into MSQ you are
if you're not done shb, finish that first
I am at the lvl 78 MSQ, .. cough
you'll get gear from it
Ok!
there's the i430 artifact set
msq keeps your ilvl at about where it should be for the content
if you want to power through, you could buy from marketboard, but from what I've heard it's not necessary
this the first phase stuff
Just finished ARR and starting Heavensward, how long will that last
do phase 2
heavensward is 94 quests (including the post patch quests)
straw is regular stuff
each ishgard restoration thing is made of approved stuff and a regular material
ok so should go for a good bit,
my goal is to make collectables? @little swift
the thing the bugs me about the post ultimate weapon part of ARR is all the running around and lack of character progress
all ishgard restoration items are automatically collectables
you want to get a high enough collectability
to get rewards
what rewards
the story is decent but running around to talk to someone for 3 sentences and then running back
exp, skybuilders scrips, kupo stamps
this guide has a macro but my stats are nowhere close to what it is asking for lmao
you can get cheap vendor gear from one of the city states
also grab some cheap vendor gear ^
I'm new to FFXIV and i honestly have no idea what job to play (i have gotten conjurer, thaumaturge and archer to around level 15) could someone help me pick out a job?
like role?
Yea your playstyle
why do you like to play is a really good question to get to the bottom of this
even if it was a typo
Lol
yeah, do you prefer to tank and absorb a lot of damage in melee, deal big damage, or play in a support capacity keeping others alive?
in other mmo's i liked being a support player so it would be a tie between tank and healer
Yeah, the game has a holy trinity of tank, healer, and dps; dps has subcategories, the tanks are rather distinct, and the healers are special too
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k_vH-1WZQ3A He's kinda trolly, but he gives you a 2-3 sentence overview of each class
If this vid helped you pick a job lemme know, I wanna judge you on your choice :)

@little swift there aren't any abilities locked behind crafter quests any more though, I heard
there are
lol i just watched that video maybe 10 minutes ago
stormblood quests give you manipulation
was still clueless lol
that starts in the 60s then?
If you want pure heals go with conjurer which becomes a white mage. Scholar is tied to summoner whose base class is the arcanist.
lol that can wait until then
Tanks
Distinct
is it really? they all more or less play the same just look different
Ah xD, well if you're thinking tank / healer, all of them are viable, they just play differently
Scholar is more like a support healer with shields instead of raw heal
arcanist becomes scholar, which is a healing class. the bonus is that you get 2 classes for 1 basically because scholar and summoner share levels
scholar is also a really proactive healer
playing reactively is going to be pain and sadness
but imo white mage has a really cool high level kit
is healing hard to learn in FFXIV?
if you level SMN by playing SCH you're gonna be totally lost, confronted at level 80 with SMN and no idea how to play it
Naw, healing isn't hard tbh; tanking is harder though
so I honestly don't recommend levelling arcanist to level two classes unless you do all the levelling as SMN and make SCH the one you learn afterward
I wouldn't recommend tanking to new players as their first class
healing is definitely harder than tanking
tanking is the simplest out of the three roles by far
Lol I'm a better tank than healer
now i'm just confused lol
whaaat
Don't even have to target stuff most of the time. Just spam AOE
you gotta do dps when tanking LOL
You gotta do dps on all classes, even healers
tanking is no slouch in savage and stuff though
so i feel like it depends on the content
if we're talking roulettes, yeah its braindead aoes. but in savage you have to do way more
i came from ESO where as a tank all you had to do was gain agro and block as a tank
Tanking also needs you to know some boss mechs, whereas as a dps you can kinda just blind run everything and be ok since the healer will res you
don't be afraid to tank, you only have to worry about what you're doing later on
And don't forget tank cooldowns
since I assume you're not gonna buy a skip potion for story and a tank job and head straight into shadowbringers
White mage is a new player friendly healer
by the time you do reach savage encounters, you'll have a general idea of what's expected from you as a tank
i did like thaumaturge but i found during quests my hp just like melted so then i tried conjuror but found i couldn't kill things very fast so now i'm here xd
Healing is honestly not that much harder than dps imo; you have a very simple dps rotation that you spam until you need to heal / shield
Then the way you use your heals / shields / utility is where the complexity comes from, but that's pretty much it
Is it lore-related only? What is this "Lovely branch" that I this feathered barbie is saying? Is it an item I can be using
Plus you get short queue times on healer
Depends what healer you play and how optimal you want to be
how do i kill things faster though? lol takes ages to do quests
I love ast, das my main rn
no no no
You don't really lol
AST is considerably easier than WHM or SCH
What
as a whitemage you wont be doing tons of damage lol. until you get a chocobo
because of the cast times, weaving, slidecasting, and dodging mechanics as AST gives you a lot more leeway than as SCH or WHM
like i went to ul'dah to become a thaumaturge, loved the job but then i found myself dying tons and idek why tbh
Hrm
yeah but whm easiest for starter
I wouldn't recommend only leveling a healer for your msq, it's quite easy to collect msq exp on a dps class while doing dungeons to keep your healer leveld up w/ the story
Thaumaturge becomes White Mage (healer) at level 30
msq?
Main Story Quest
it's more difficult to play AST purely 100% correctly and in particular, nail the opener, therefore it has a higher ceiling, but it's also considerably less punishing to learn on in the first place because it's way more mobile and has more like, freedom
oh
Conjurer becomes WHM, not Thaumaturge
Thaumaturge becomes black mage lol
i know
Ah, mb, got it mixed up
There's also nothing wrong with starting as a healer for MSQ
oh void said it lol
I recommend leveling a powerful DPS alongside whatever main you have.
Even if you don't like it, the difference in damage that a DPS can do over healer/tank is crazy as you get into later content and makes finishing up MSQ super quick
^
I personally leveled my tank, healer, and dps alongside each other
I have leveled CNJ as my primary job on MSQ, and it's really not an issue.
^
Tank is my main, but I DPS to clear content quicker and heal to get fast queues to finish MSQ and farm gear for my tank/dps
I've gotten really good at my RDM so I just blow everything up honestly
and the difference between my RDM and PLD in terms of damage is huge
I personally leveld summoner first and picked up ast along the way because I knew I wanted to be a healer and ast appealed to me the most
SMN has the benefit that it levels both summoner and scholar, so you get a healer along w/ a good dps class for the msq content
post Heavensward
yet the time investment to level all 3 would still slow you down compared to the gain, the first time through, especially if we're talking going tank or healer rather than dps as the single class
if you want to play tank or healer, better to just run through to the end on your 1 job the first time through, and then level alt jobs after if thats what you want
do you get more aetheric density from a savage clear versus a story clear? for some alexander stage (i think a9s is farmed the most?)
people are like microgaming the shit out of the advice for a new player who should just play the job they want to play @craggy scarab
tl;dr: If you want to be a healer, level as a healer. If you want to be a dps, level as a dps.
^
just pick the job you think seems cool or fun and roll with it
its not like this is a life altering decision, you can always change your mind later if you really dont like what you ended up picking
If you want to play tank or healer, but also have an easier time through the MSQ, you can level 2 classes simultaneously or pick SMN/SCH which levels both a healer and dps
Healer and Tank have very short queue times (and adventurer in need exp bonuses) since they're in demand, so leveling them using exp gained from doing dungeons is very quick
kk, gotcha @agile laurel
Picking a dps to go through the msq isn't necessarily going to be "easier" though.
Personally I think that going through as a healer or tank is actually the easier option because you'll die a lot less.
i thought that when i started so i tried thaumaturge then ended up dying tons
I leveled as bard til Heavensward, did a bit of leveling with astrologian, and then I got my shit kicked in by Ravana and reasoned I'd rather level as bard
Thaumaturge (Black Mage) is the "glass cannon" class. Lots of damage, but squishy af.
On my data center
Killing mobs as ast is a pain
And they don't have any good ways to heal themselves, so that makes it more difficult to survive if you overpull.
so now i'm on cnj and now i never die but it takes ages even to kill just a common enemy 5 levels below me
Tanks have pretty long queue times
Sometimes as long as DPS
Healers are almost always insta-queue
Yea that's how it is unfortunately
@craggy scarab First, what level are you? Second, are you making sure to keep your Aero (dot) on your target while you cast Stone?
It'll be work but every class finish the MSQ in FFXIV
??????????????
Just got collective unconcious, is it basically just a "help tank obvious attack" skill?
archer was okay but i didn't like the theme of the guild
What's there to ???
the only thing tanks have long queue times in is alliance raids
everything else usually pops less than 5m or instant
Tanks are the lowest queue time class; at least on my DC
@open coral my cnj is level 14 and yes i am
My queues as tank can be anywhere between 8 - 15 minutes in a lot of cases
But everyone has long alliance raid queues, even healers
F
Rarely am I below 5 minute queue times as Tank
Okay, so the problem Xbye, is that you have really short DPS queues lol
Aether has an excess of tanks i guess then
@craggy scarab When you get to level 30, you'll be able to pick up a quest called "My Feisty Little Chocobo" which will teach you how to summon your chocobo mount (obtained at level 20 in the
) as a battle companion. That will help lower your kill times by a LOT.
but I usually get in under 12
oh 1 other question is this like ESO where there is 1 main healer and if you mess 1 thing up the whole boss fight is fucked?
whats the auto run button when using xbox controller?
Dungeons have 1 healer, raids and trials have multiple
Some dps classes also has a res (Red Mage and Summoner)
Dungeon content only has 1 healer, but all large group (8-man party) content has 2 healers.
oh okay, good. in eso if u messed up ur rotation everyone will die
And one tiny mistake will not wipe the group
in a dungeon if there's no red mage or summoner and the healer dies, everyone will likely also die, unless the tank is a paladin who uses clemency to finish the fight off
Naw, healers dps for most of the fight, and heal like 20% of the time
is there a way to filtered out currently equipped stuff from expert delivery?
PLD is part healer
that's kind of a misleading way to describe it
There's an option at the top of the menu by the dropdown menu @sullen pulsar
Usually, you want to use heals that you can weave into your dps rotation to maximize dmg output if you're trying to do optimal play
I know it filter out the stuff you're currently equipped but what if you are multi class
https://eu.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/playguide/db/item/53f8c996e2f/ Where's this from, exactly?
There’s a drop down menu near the top. Set that to Hide Gear Set Items.
It filters everything that's in a gear set
ah thanks a lot all
expert delivery at the grand company?
@agile laurel That was a reward from one of the seasonal events last year, but you can buy it on the Mogstation now.

near.... Well, somewhere in the GS
there's nothing to argue about here
