that or they really don't want a DNC
lavish vortex
hi!, im considering my fisrt tank job, is gunbreaker a good one to start the role?
faint flare
Gunbreaker is fine but you are tossed a ton of skills
And is one of the more active tanks in terms of rotation, at least every 30s
lavish vortex
and is tanking overwhelming in general? coming from dps
faint flare
Its the easiest role
Put stance on > hit stuff > use defensive cooldowns
Well done you're a tank
halcyon glen
all three parts are very important however
faint flare
Especially the last
lavish vortex
hahahaha gunbreaker sounds good then
halcyon glen
GNB feels the most like a DPS
nova umbra
what does Conflag prog, Uptime soccer mean for furor?
lavish vortex
but as long as you follor those 3 rules, gunbreaker is as good as the other tanks at tanking?
halcyon glen
Uptime soccer is a strat for Ifrit Soccer in E6S
nova umbra
is that the tether thing?
faint flare
Those 3 basic rules make up tanking
No
Its where Rakapapapspspaspaa long cast Conflag strike
And mechanics happens
nova umbra
ohhh
faint flare
Dps are tethers to each other
forest laurel
uptime soccer is everyone going to A for the soccer mechanic
nova umbra
the one where you have to sprint around everywhere
leaden ginkgo
is there any sort of visual guide on what some PF strats mean?
mossy tartan
Is the target of “rescue” registered as an incredibly fast moving target, or a target that has teleported to your own position? (Caster)
rough lance
how does chain hunt works?
faint flare
All movement abilities are just rapidly moving across the ground
halcyon glen
As I understand it, "uptime soccer" involves ignoring the mechanic entirely and just eating the damage because healers aren't people healer damage is worth less than melee damage
halcyon glen
oh and the vuln. Again, more work for the healers, more damage for the melee
faint flare
You just press 1 healing cooldown
halcyon glen

unique oasis
the pyros light step isnt required right? i can just move on to hydatos? don't care about the substats
polar hound
Those 3 basic rules make up tanking
I would add that positioning is also a basic rule, or should be
faint flare
True
halcyon glen
ah yes, the corey rule
don't cleave the party
and don't spin the boss if possible
polar hound
or spin the boss, melee dps thank

"HE TURNED FOR TRICK, THE 360 C-BLOCK"

Ok so, I'm a returning player. I bought the game a few years ago and couldn't continue playing due to college and stuff. I want to comeback with a friend seeing how much the game has growth but I can't log-in. The thing is, as I can see, when I try to recover and change my previous password the game asks me for a One-Time Password which I don't have. Reading some articles on the Internet I found that I can get it through the Squarenix Token software but when I open it the app asks me for my ID so I'm in a loop here.
nova umbra
?? do I need to do the sidequest for this quest?
little swift
if you didn't have a one-time password before
you won't have one
just leave it blank
halcyon glen
^
little swift
the one-time password authenticators are for 2FA
faint flare
That blue.quest is a aether current
little swift
you should get the app or the token if you have the chance once you can access your account again
nova umbra
it's a beast tribe quest though
faint flare
Then it opens a side quest to continue its quest chain
halcyon rune
Perhaps your account got stolen? You haven't checked on it in a while.
little swift
try logging in without the otp first
thats your first step here don't think about whether its stolen or not
if you're logging into the mogstation website
it will prompt you for one if you ahve it
however if you can prove to them the account is yours, you can have it removed

Is there a way to enter the Lotus Stand? (The residence of Kan-E-Senna) without having a quest related to it?

Ok, I tried and yeah it is asking me for the additional password. Is there a way I can retrieve my ID so I can log into the App?
if I want the OTP removed, I gotta send an e-mail to the support, right?

So w/ the new f2p patch for August 11, what does that mean for player who already bought the game and subscription?

Any Idea what percentage of the playerbase plays as tank?

If you bought Starter + Shadowbringers or Complete, then it has nothing to do with you

Will I still need to buy sub to play? If I’m under lvl 60, I have SB Collector.
warped nest
None of your business then
Stormblood already includes Heavensward
Please take note that Trial is for drawing in new players
primal relic
Dang, thanks though
warped nest
Not for benefiting existing one
remote lintel
yes you need to sub to play
primal relic
I was hoping I wouldn’t need to pay for sub till 60+.
warped nest
Only if you are a new player
remote lintel
if you already bought the game then it doesn't apply to you
it will only apply to new accounts who sign up

same. go with piety or you could meld dh which i think youd still get a benefit from

anyone know if the auto demo for houses timer resumed since it was frozen around march? i cant find notice son it just wanna be careful on that

alright thanks
wanton shadow
hmm why is monk considered boring
faint flare
Because it barely changes post 50
remote lintel
because it has like no ogcds

Once you hit 50 its basically a complete job

I dont know what an ogcd is

Off globals

I wanted to transfer to Famfrit (NA Primal) as a new player for the preferred status (I already have a character only 10 hours in on Excalibur) for the start of the 5.3 patch. Should I do it now in case Famfrit becomes congested or do you predict another NA Primal preferred server will open upon 5.3 release?
shrewd owl
what level are you right now
vagrant copper
With how crowded Famfrit has been, I'd be kind surprised if it isn't a standard server come patch time. Though if you want the preferred status, you can still do Famfrit. You're guaranteed 90 days of preferred status.

@deep herald what is your current level and on what point of the story are you at right now?
sudden wolf
When you put a item in the glam dresser is it possible to dye it?
sudden wolf
Ah ok
leaden ginkgo
if you want it to keep the dye, you have to restore it, dye, then put it back in the dresser
but then all plates would use that color as base
heady flare
I'm honestly surprised Famfrit isn't congested by now

@leaden ginkgo i have no idea
all i know is i dont have any more job quests
im lvl 23
and uh
i dont understand what is happening in the story right now
im a conjeorur

you get job quests every 5 levels or so

my friend is requesting melding materia, but is there a way to check the cap limit for each stat?

So before I go rolling on everything in Copied Factory
Are there any weekly limits still in place?

zinc orbitBOT
little swift
see the image attached to this
nova umbra
no I mean, I'm being requested to meld for him
and I get a simple menu with just the materia and the gear
halcyon glen
and it's normal loot rules for Copied Factory? As in, if I really want the aiming top I should go in on an Aiming class so I can need?

yes ddrox
halcyon glen
Excellent
little swift
@nova umbra he can check at a melding npc for the stat caps
halcyon glen
and so I don't need to ask next patch - on release, new alliance raids are you can roll on anything until you receive one (1) reward item and then you can't roll again?

yes
trail prairie
it was just my controller drivers being frozen
what do i do with edengate gear after i replace it?
seals/desynth?

You can keep them as glamour too if you wanna
Another option would be equipping your retainers with them, if they are on the correct jobs
warped nest
There is

oh :s

Are normal raids, of E5 to E8, still on weekly lockout?

If i start the free trial now and hit 35, would i be able to continue when it gets moved to 60?
left moth
Yes since the restriction on level and content will move towards heavensward
lots of msq will need to do but thats whatever
junior yacht
yes
leaden ginkgo
😦 I wanted that MGP
junior yacht
it's basically bingo
you can spend seals on the shuffle and retry options as well
but there's still a lot of RNG involved
leaden ginkgo
what do you mean?
junior yacht
sorry, not seals, Second Chances
dense pier
Is the Direwolf Whistle one of the doggos that drop from Stormblood bosses?
warped nest
No
junior yacht
right, so before you place all 9 seals, you can click on Second Chance to try and rearrange them
once you've placed all 9 you're locked in
leaden ginkgo
oooh
dense pier
Reveling Kamuy?
warped nest
Yeah, Kamuy is the Stormblood mount
leaden ginkgo
at what point should I use Shuffle?
junior yacht
🤔
left moth
6stamps or less preferably 6
junior yacht
Retry uses Second Chance points
left moth
Place 7 and cant shuffle
junior yacht
the other option is Shuffle
leaden ginkgo
yeah, Shuffle, my bad
warped nest
It is changed to 6?
left moth
(Hmm)
junior yacht
preeety sure it's seven
leaden ginkgo
it says 3 to 7
left moth
Going off top of my head :|
junior yacht
anyway, you would get to 7 seals, and then you'd look at your card and see what's possible
warped nest
Anyway, after you have 3 stamp, you can clear a panel for 1 SC point, and you can redo that panel for a new stamp.
And between 3 to 7 stamps, by spending 2 SC point, you can reshuffle your stamps
leaden ginkgo
ok
all I did with this card was retry until I got 9 stamps, but I guess next time I'll shuffle when I get 7 stamps
warped nest
We recommend reshuffling at 7
leaden ginkgo
understood, thanks for the recommendations
warped nest
Np
Oh, in case you aren't aware, you get Second Chance point when you clear any dungeons/trials/Raids with a new player
leaden ginkgo
yeah, I noticed when I capped at 9, then I just kept spending them before my dungeon runs or roulette
I just didn't know how the shuffle worked
I take it I might lose a line/bonus if I shuffle at 7
it seems I get the rewards by turning in the entire card
simple shore
The idea is to shuffle at 7 until you have 2 lines and there is a possibility of getting a 3rd
leaden ginkgo
so I don't need to shuffle if I don't want the 3 lines reward
warped nest
Nope
simple shore
I guess not?
leaden ginkgo
well it still depends on luck I guess
simple shore
But 3 lines reward is generally where the big money is, so you should always go after it if you can
warped nest
The only worthwhile 3rd line reward imo is 1 mil MGP
leaden ginkgo
ok

I assume there are chat channels, can I join like a general one where I can see people talk?

Do the stats on your retainers matter for the stuff they bring back?
or just the level
warped nest
Yes for gatherer
simple shore
Yeah but gold comms can be converted to materia for selling also. Or you can hold the comm until something better pops up on it.
leaden ginkgo
I'd get the 1mil MGP any day
warped nest
Then ilvl is the only thing that matters
jagged crow
Does that effect yield?
warped nest
Yes, let me check
jagged crow
And how so? higher level gear found?
warped nest
!faq retainerbp
zinc orbitBOT
warped nest
Your artifact gears are 430 and the early lvl 80 dungeon drops 430 accessories, not too hard to get retainer over 428
jagged crow
But what I mean is what does it do to benefit
like whats the point in giving them better gear
do they bring back stuff of higher value?
simple shore
Increased yields
As in, you if you send them on hunting missions, you get more items / more HQ items
sleek roost
There are also minimums for being able to fetch certain things but the main one is increased item yield on missions
jagged crow
My sam is level 80 but only wearing stuff high enough to do the better mission
So it doesn't give you a bonus to quick ventures?
I am just trying to figure out how to make a profit off retainers because I get like 3-4k off retainers daily and that seems really really low
and I have 4 retainers
sleek roost
I mean the real profit in retainers is to sell crafted items on them. Ventures are some small steady income but you wont make bank
Combat retainers are very easy to get to the breakpoint though. Artifact gear + Facet crafted is what I used to get my 10 retainers up to ilvl
Cost next to nothing
simple shore
Hence you increase their yields, and use them to get materials for you to convert into something worth more.
leaden ginkgo
are the Ornate chests from Khloe worth it? (the ones you exchange for silver commendations)
simple shore
No
The gold comm ones can be, but not right now.
Bronze/Silver comms should be converted into Materia 8's and sold

Ornate DoW/M gears are valuable when they are new
simple shore
Not really

how do i stay alive on big pulls when mobs are dying really slow?

Do you use your... Ummm what's that again... True North?
The tank role skill that slows enemy
unreal aspen
the dps are doing rlly low damage
yea i use all my defensive cds + arms length reprisal + invuln
warped nest
Are the DPS doing AOE?
unreal aspen
yea im asking in the case its the
unlucky run where its like
single target dps
or lvl 50 rotation blm in a lvl 70 dungeon
simple shore
4 Combat Materia 8, or 2 Crafting Materia 8.
unreal aspen
i normally just pull smaller after the first one if I don't think we can do it
warped nest
You gonna tell them that they need to AOE when you pulled 3+ enemies
simple shore
The minion, if its the one i am thinking of, is worth ~4k on my MB
warped nest
Yeah, that's all you can do, unfortunately, Sofi
warped nest
Good luck
simple shore
Crit Materia 8s are worth 29k each on my MB. So its pretty obvious what to do.
It depends on which minion though, obviously.
I think i remember you saying it was the Alisaie one earlier, and if thats the case its pretty worthless on my MB at least

Right now my gcd is 2.23
whenever you get a thundercloud proc on blm you should use it immediatly right? no mp, no cast time, plus deals dmg based on the remaining of your thunder dot and reaplies it

Is there any use for doing beast tribes? Never done them
simple shore
Yeah i dont really understand what you mean by printscreen not working
it works fine for me

@mossy tartan for exp for alt jobs or ARR beast tribes for the anima relic

It works for me too, but it captures the whole display, not just the frame area. Dont know why
remote lintel
also you get mounts, emotes, minions, etc
mossy tartan
nice

I dont know what you mean by "the whole display, not just the frame area"
halcyon glen
Pixies are some 6 million exp per day for 10 minutes of work from 71-80
simple shore
@mossy tartan beast tribes tend to give disproportionately large exp daily for very minimal effort. You can also make a decent amount of gil off of them.
by converting their currencies into stuff you can sell on MB
Every beast tribe has a mount also. I think.

So like, if you add a instant camera frame, it takes a picture of all the screen still

@remote lintel ah okey, yeah thought gpose had a function of just taking that area lol, allright thx

Ok. I also got Shadow breakers since it was a sale. Does that add anything for now or only later in the game?

you get access to the expansion jobs other than heavensward once you reach the relevant levels
so you can unlock samurai/red mage at level 50
and dancer/gunbreaker at level 60
heavensward jobs will be unlocked when you reach heavensward
and the 3 non-starting races become available to you for character creations

Rowena’s tokens of X are tomestone exchanges

hey guys so, i got a new phone and i got logged out of the SE token app
now to log back in its asking me me for a reg password
halcyon glen
Acquire them at the relevant level’s Tomestone vendor in the Other category

how do i get that?
vagrant copper
If you don't have your recovery password, you'll need to contact customer support to get the security token taken off your account

The normal Rowena's Token are from Daily Quest which no one does anymore.
vagrant copper
Assuming you don't have access to the old phone I guess
clear bronze
no it fried
frank ridge
hey guys so, i got a new phone and i got logged out of the SE token app
@clear bronze You remove the token from the old phone with Removal Password, THEN re-register the new one
clear bronze
do u setup a recovery password when u setup the token?
i dont have the old phone its rip

No. You have to get it from the app

It literally gave you the removal password when you set up the old one

was it something i made

Mages still have mp costs but mp is normalized to 10k total @slim isle
static yacht
Mages literally only have mp to limit the rezzing
And.. one of them uses it as their job mechanic
All other jobs have no mp, etc. Limitation cause they cant rez
2 of them use MP as a resource rather than adding a separate gauge
obsidian patio
Healers can also drain their MP without raising if there’s a lot of heavy damage
Like the Absolute Zero spam near the end of E8N
little swift
Healers can drain if they dont use their MP tools correctly

Subscription time

I am absolutely not sure about this, but the consensus online seems to be that it's based on calendar days (so not exactly e.g. 30 * 24 hours from the moment you subscribe), likely server time. Somebody with actual knowledge can fill you in better here.

can I ask the pros and cons of each classes?

The biggest issue last expansion was not enough instances for everyone
leaden ginkgo
I see, ty
slate arrow
ShB has been considerably smooth all things considered
leaden ginkgo
and prim, depends on what role the class is, tank healer or dps
native canopy
and I would to go for something solo ish pls, dont have flexible time schedule
obsidian wren
Shb has been super smooth, esp compared to stormblood launch
slate arrow
@native canopy haha there's no such thing as solo in this game
All dungeons require a 1/1/2 and all trials require 2/2/4
obsidian wren
You can't really play solo
When you enter a dungeon you get queued up with random people
native canopy
I see
leaden ginkgo
^
slate arrow
Duty finder exists for that for matchmaking so really it boils down to
Play what you find fun
leaden ginkgo
you can play a tank or healer for quick queues if you can't be around for 10-20min queues as a DPS player
obsidian wren
Class balance is pretty good too
slate arrow
If you want fast duty finder queues though
There's always an eternal healer shortage
obsidian wren
Still healer more than tank?
slate arrow
farming what
obsidian wren
There isnt really a lot of farming
native canopy
I see
obsidian wren
Unless you want specific crafting materials for bulk crafting
slate arrow
You get most of your EXP via leveling dungeons
native canopy
mostly dungeon huh
leaden ginkgo
you level up your first time around with the main scenario quests, which easily get you to max on your first job
tawny gulch
Bruh the first levels of this game are a fucking slog
obsidian wren
Healers also do ~half to 2/3 the damage of a dps class, so any solo content is no problem
native canopy
I see
ty guys
so healer in ff14 is like cleric in dnd
not just heal but also dissing out dmg
gotcha
obsidian wren
Aye
slate arrow
Unless you've really fucked up, your passive MP Regen will always offset the cost of your damage spells
obsidian wren
As you get to a higher level its expected of healers to help dish out damage
As far as healers go
White mage is the classic healer that has strong heals and regens
Scholar has a fairy pet that helps heal, and they can apply shields to party members
Astrologian has a regen and shield stance, and they use cards to apply damage buffs to party memberd
slate arrow
SCH is the hardest execution wise since you have to use a lot of cooldowns just for HP heals which isn't bad during raids but during regular dungeons it can be absolutely murder if you don't learn your buttons quickly
AST you can basically play like WHM and get away with it
agile laurel
well, besides the cards
obsidian wren
Personally had more trouble with handling ast's cooldowns and placing cards on the correct people without losing uptime, but I'm also more experienced with scholar
agile laurel
Ast is somewhat less powerful in terms of raw healing output than whm, too
which tends to show itself in later leveling
obsidian wren
Not necessarily true
slate arrow
anyways this is discussion
agile laurel
but it brings more in terms of raid buffs
obsidian wren
Raw gcd healingwise yes, but ast has a lot of cooldowns for big heals
Which is what you typically want to rely on
tidal yarrow
there is an emote where you put your hands up and stay on one leg, and I can't tell the name of it lol
obsidian wren
More of a cranebird stance?
tidal yarrow
not sure if it's a race thing, but I saw it from a lala
shrewd owl
isnt lali ho similar

nah differs between races
tidal yarrow

Conjurer becomes White mage at level 30
Arcanist becomes both Summoner and Scholar at level 30
native canopy
I thought it would be thaumaturge
native canopy
white mage, summoner and scholar what diff of them?
agile laurel
Summoner's a dps
agile laurel
white mage is a very basic MMO healer really, scholar is a bit more proactive and off-gcd action based
Scholar and Summoner also have the perk of sharing the same xp, so you level a healer automatically by leveling the dps, or vice versa
native canopy
what off gcd mean
agile laurel
!faq gcd

I have met all the criteria but it is not updating. Am I missing something?
sly zinc
You absolutely sure the weather is correct?
modest canopy
yes
agile laurel
basically, you press 1 button and there's a 2 second delay before you can press another. Off-GCD actions have their own short usage cooldown
modest canopy
It said Fair skies
native canopy
ah
agile laurel
scholar is also a pet-assisted healer
you have a fairy, it does some things

@sly zinc do i need to stay seated for the duration of the 12:00-17:00 times?
agile laurel
which is on the same vein as Summoner being the pet using class
gritty oracle
Are non-8 cooking masterbooks worth the scrips or effort to make the hand-ins?
agile laurel
It's not really worth fretting over honestly, once you've reached level 10 in any starting class you can switch freely
and the third healer, astrologian, requires notable main story progress to unlock anyway
obsidian wren
Doesnt really matter what you start with
agile laurel
you can level every single class on one character and the game actively encourages it
so
obsidian wren
All base classes start out really simple and gradually increase in complexity as you unlock skills
sly zinc
@modest canopy no, once should be enough
agile laurel
yeah, conjurer just starts out roughly with stone-aero-cure-medica to cover the utter basics
native canopy
I see
agile laurel
In a way, conjurer is the only healer you can start with - scholar requires level 30 on arcanist (technically a dps) to unlock
obsidian wren
Game is designed that you can pick up pretty much any class and will learn how they work step by step
modest canopy
if you've played a healer class on other mmos, you could expect relatively the same experience on white mage.
agile laurel
however by the time you reach your first group content you'll probably be at least level 19
native canopy
so after lvl 10 I can just go play around with other classes until I want to move on right?
agile laurel
yep
You are a bit kneecapped on access to other cities beside your starting city when you first start, cause access to other cities via fast travel comes not-too-far into the story progression
obsidian wren
After doing your level 10 classquest yeah
agile laurel
and you can't unlock all classes in one city, they're spaced out
obsidian wren
At level 15 the main story sends you to the other city states
agile laurel
Yeah, so immediately at 10 you may not be able to, say, switch from conjurer to arcanist cause you can't reach Limsa
but that'd resolve itself soon enough
zinc orbitBOT
modest canopy
@sly zinc I can't be at the vista location before that time doing the emote (sitting in this case), right? cause I was just sitting at that vista location all day/night (in game) waiting lol

Hi everyone, I'm looking for some help about starting to play
I saw that the free trial is about to get very attractive, and decided to give the game a try.
I understood a bit wrong thinking the free trial is about not paying subscription, so i bought the starter edition on steam.
now I see that this is something else, and that I get 1 month of full subscription instead.
I didn't activate an account with the steam key yet, is there a way for me to start with the normal free trial and use that 1 month after I'm done with the free trial?
leaden ginkgo
So, for the 5.3 upgrade tokens, for the Allegory gear.
If i recall, you need coins from both Nier raids?
agile laurel
i'm not sure it was said
i honestly think it said either?
i hope it said either, because my dumbass is stockpiling CF coins like no tomorrow
leaden ginkgo
iunno if they said, but i assume with how rigid FF14 is, it'd work like previous ones
where i believe i seen multi coins
obsidian patio
Based on HW/SB you'll need the previous raid tokens for the exchange
tidal yarrow
what's the difference between key setting 1 and 2?
might be a dumb question but, how could he bind q as a key for abilities if it's the key to strafe left?
.
leaden ginkgo
dont think there's a difference it's just setting 2 keys to do the same thing
twilit arch
yeah its just an alternative key
white ether
What does the armor id key do?
