can you play this version with a xbox one controller via PC
remote lintel
yes
leaden ginkgo
Thanks by the by
young radish
Thank you so much
remote lintel
I would connect the controller through steam
muted coyote
@faint flare thanks , it worked 🙂
young radish
no judgement but if you purchase a level increase this item does not remove storyline from your character its simply the leveling/advancement questline?
clever cave
young radish
Thank you for the response! okay I am tracking now on these optional items
definitely don't want to ruin the new DLC story I wanna play it
remote lintel
the class quests talk about things you did in the story
so theyre a little bit intertwined
unborn fox
im lvl 21 thaumaturgy now. first time playing. feeling bored. is it gonna get better soon?
also when do i get a mount?
remote lintel
!faq mounts
zinc orbitBOT
remote lintel
and yes all classes are boring at low level
since youre missing 90% of your skills
unborn fox
i mean the whole game
remote lintel
hmm
well black mage rotations change a lot as they level so that would make it interesting i guess
frail fulcrum
How do I check the "light" for nexus ARR relic upgrade?
obsidian wren
you should have gotten a magnifying glass-like item in your standard inventory
not key items
just use that when you got the relic equipped
if you don't have it, you can talk to gerolts assistant to get a new one
frail fulcrum
Ah I see thank you ^^
agile laurel
black mage rotation is kinda sleep at low level
you at least get the gist of ice-regen fire-burn, pun intended
wanton shadow
so I'm having a bit of a weird problem https://i.imgur.com/EXtno8M.jpeg in borderless windowed my game wont center itself on my monitor o.o
leaden ginkgo
hi newish player. i really want to get to endgame. im currently on level 30 msq after 20 hours. how long is the msq approximately, considering i skip cutscenes
agile laurel
is your resolution set properly?
zinc orbitBOT
wanton shadow
well it's borderless windowed
agile laurel
Oh, center
idk. might be worth doublechecking your resolution settings are correct but beside that i'm not sure
little swift
check your native monitor resolution settings as well
remote lintel
@leaden ginkgo skipping everything probably less than a month
but why wouldnt you just buy story skip at that point
leaden ginkgo
How many of you play on PC and experience unresponsive controls with a controller?
Sometimes, the game likes to lag my inputs
remote lintel
whats your ping
leaden ginkgo
but why wouldnt you just buy story skip at that point
@remote lintel idk. ppl said cause its my first time i should still try to level to lerarn mechanics
Ping has nothing to do with me yeeting myself off a cliff lol. That would be rubber banding in that case
remote lintel
i mean endgame pretty much consists of doing the same 4 raids every week and also glamour
some skills have a delayed effect but other than that 
leaden ginkgo
Yeah, it's like my controller "sticks", but i don't have this issue in-game
this issue in any other game*
i mean
wintry chasm
I've only had that issue when I had a shitty cable
leaden ginkgo
I've tried it with 3 different controllers, one with bluetooth, the other 2 wired.
remote lintel
are you on steam
leaden ginkgo
No, i bought a new acc for the native client
remote lintel
try adding it to steam
remote lintel
I haven't experienced anything like that
wintry chasm
Me neither
leaden ginkgo
Well for some disabling "Microsoft Root Enumarator" apparently fixes the issue, but for others it doesn't
dense pier
How do I heal as AST when oGCDs are down?
remote lintel
gcds
faint flare
Yes
remote lintel
what
dense pier
Wait, if I throw syn on something
leaden ginkgo
remote lintel
yes
faint flare
Synstry gives the target a 40% heal
dense pier
wtf
leaden ginkgo
This is the issue i'm experiencing, but it's bugged for some people
faint flare
Even if you heal them directly
dense pier
Okay
remote lintel
also regens
dense pier
That should be pointed out in the damn tooltip
faint flare
Not regens
dense pier
That's probably what I'v ebeen missing all this time
remote lintel
i meant throw regens
faint flare
It does say it heals the target for 40% whenever you heal someone
dense pier
Whenever tanks do wall-to-wall pulls it's hit or miss whether they'll survive or not. Once I run out of oGCDs if the tank isn't a PLD who can spam clemancy they usually die
Sometimes the tank doesn't take a lot of damage though
So I don't run out o OGCDs
but I guess now I can use syn
as another oGCD to fill in the gap
remote lintel
i mean are they using CDs
leaden ginkgo
don't forget you can also use COpp and flash collective unvonciousness for smaller regens
leaden ginkgo
if you just tap CU and then immediately cancel it you still get the full duration of the regen effect tied to it
Its not much but its something
remote lintel
also are they geared properly/are you geared properly
leaden ginkgo
And yeah 2 ED charges really make the class feel beefy
slate oak
ok so for the rock of castrum i need like 42 average item level and i just hit 50
faint flare
Do your job quest
slate oak
someone was talking about getting some stuff from somewhere to get good ilevel stuff
faint flare
You get a coffer containing i90 gear
remote lintel
how do you use up all ogcds on trash mobs and still die 
jolly sorrel
So having read the healers guide, I learned that a WHM has high personal dps and the SCH has better team buffs, and it all sort of evens out depending.
Do tanks also have such a difference between them?
warped nest
Sorta kinda
dense pier
and AST is "Why am I doing this with my life...?"
warped nest
But nothing this distinctive
hollow horizon
Is nier content limited time only?
hollow horizon
Noice
faint flare
Its this expansion 24man raids
unborn fox
will the story get better or the game better in general later? right now im struggling at lvl 22
jolly sorrel
@warped nest Could you elaborate on the 'sorta kinda' thing? Even if its tiny, in what way do the tanks differ?
faint flare
Yes
leaden ginkgo
it gets a lot better later on
faint flare
Story gets a million times better after the usual introduction and world building
jolly sorrel
The story will get much better, but this game will stay a story-game, every unlock even later on is behind it
faint flare
Plus when you actually get more buttons to press
unborn fox
cool
leaden ginkgo
Yeah looks like i'm not using a controller unfortunately. No fixes are working :S
jolly sorrel
/bow ?
robust crow
/bow and /ebow a bit too much like a greeting than a "thank you" for me
forest laurel
I just do /goodbye
robust crow
can I do a custom emote that attaches the bow animation?
open coral
Yes
robust crow
shit that's neat, how?
open coral
You can set it up as a macro that does your custom emote, then the /bow action
jolly sorrel
/bow motion```^ like that
jolly sorrel
Alas, nope.
open coral
To combine them like that, you have to make it a macro
jolly sorrel
You could just write /em thanks <t>. and /bow motion in a row real fast. That's what I tend to do.
open coral
Basically the macro is telling it to execute two separate actions - your /em followed by the /bow motion
jolly sorrel
Then again, I type decently fast so it works for me.
leaden ginkgo
Think three hotbars for abilities is enough for keyboard use?

obsidian patio
All the tanks provide similar amounts of mitigation and are very close in damage.
About 2-4% in damage variation from best to worst depending on the percentile you look at
zinc orbitBOT
jolly sorrel
Hmn, so unlike healers with their personal dps vs team buffs, tanks simply have nothing like that?
mild ermine
What is good way to farm poetics outside of roulettes?
open coral
Not exactly
jolly sorrel
And the 'sorta kinda' was just that 2% damage difference?
open coral
Each tank has their own particular gimmick.
obsidian patio
@mild ermine if you’re willing to bear through it, eureka NMs/Fates are a good source of poetics
mild ermine
I haven't touched Eureka so thats probably not an option for me.
open coral
So for example, PLD is a shieldy-type tank, and they have both a personal heal (Clemency) and a couple of "shield the party" abilities in addition to their personals.
mild ermine
And fates you say?
obsidian patio
Fates in Eureka
mild ermine
Damn it.
obsidian patio
!faq poetics
zinc orbitBOT
open coral
While on the other hand, WAR is a berserker-type tank who converts damage dealt to them into self-healing.
obsidian patio
Can always try queueing up for the story dungeons at 50/60/70 (Keeper, Aetherochemical, Baelsar’s, Ghimlyt)
And then there’s doing level 50/60/70 content you haven’t done yet for the first time bonus
jolly sorrel
And DRK and GNB?
faint flare
Drk is edgy boy and gnb moonlights as a dps
remote lintel
dark knight uses dark magic type moves and gunbreaker is the most dps like
mild ermine
I guess Dungeons it is.
remote lintel
also DRK has a stupid good defensive ability
jolly sorrel
Ahaha, I meant more in terms of their gimmicks, not as in their looks
open coral
DRK goes with their aesthetic of being super emo. They're blood knights. They're sort of halfway between WAR's "kill kill kill" and PLD's "protect everyone, at all costs".
remote lintel
DRK uses its job gauge to boost its damage a little and use skills
faint flare
Drk has mana "management" to deal with while Gunbreaker has a damage combo every 30s thars very rapid and active
open coral
I can't say much about GNB because that's the only tank I haven't played at all.
All I know is that they have one ability that is nearly as good at healing the whole party as an actual healer
jolly sorrel
Hmkay, I see. And even though their own combos and methods of healing themselves differ, they are all able to do about equal damage, mitigate equally well and heal themselves equally?
faint flare
Yes
open coral
More or less, yeah
remote lintel
maybe not on the self heal
open coral
PLD is probably the best all-rounder.
remote lintel
paladin vastly heals itself better than all the others
faint flare
Paladin and warrior are top of self heal, then gnb and then drk
open coral
Clemency is absolutely broken
remote lintel
but as a PLD you dont want to self heal unless ABSOLUTELY necessary
jolly sorrel
Why would people then not drop GNB and DRK on the side benches? Or is the self healing not all that useful?
faint flare
Its not useful
open coral
Self healing is basically an "oh shit" button
faint flare
Damage is the biggest thing
jolly sorrel
Okay, so its nice that WAR and PLD can do it, but it's not all that useful
remote lintel
paladin's self heal eats its mana and it needs mana for its magic attacks
faint flare
Aurora is a nice regen
open coral
GNB is popular because it's almost more of a dps than a tank from the damage standpoint.
little swift
nah warriors are great at prog because you can help cushion the amount your healer needs to heal you
dense pier
How much of your dps is Combust III
faint flare
Drk doesn't have much self healing bur it has TBN to basically take no damage
remote lintel
90%
little swift
a decent amount of your damage
remote lintel
for single target
zinc orbitBOT
little swift
600 potency over 30 seconds
open coral
Everything is viable, it all depends on the person playing it, basically
remote lintel
tanks have gimmicks but they can all do their job fine
little swift
every combust is about 2 and a half malefics
little swift
its 2.5 malefics you don't have to cast
remote lintel
600 pot is a lot
jolly sorrel
What started this is that I read in the healing guide that all healers heal just fine, but they differ in how much their personal dps and team buffs vary.
unreal aspen
i have a question about playing ast in 65-70 dungeons
i feel like on big/wall to wall pulls, i struggle so much with keeping the tank alive
jolly sorrel
And I wondered if it was the same for tanks.
It isn't, all tanks are equal with different ways to play out their combos, question answered
little swift
gear from your tanks and your gear is important here
there's a steep stat curve from 65 onwards
remote lintel
also if your tank is sing CDs
little swift
to 70
remote lintel

i drop aspected benefic on them for the regen, and place my star once the mobs are all gathered, then heal them with essential first, then the star pop, then i refresh aspected benefic +celestial opposition for the regen, and then synastry + benefic ii

Where does ACT save logs?
unreal aspen
but it feels like using all of my cooldowns often is not enough, is this just how it be or am i doing something wrong?

you'd have to check your plugin options to see where it default saves your logs @gritty oracle
open coral
What started this is that I read in the healing guide that all healers heal just fine, but they differ in how much their personal dps and team buffs vary.
@jolly sorrel This is both accurate and not. Much like tanks, each healer has their own style. WHM does have significantly higher dps than the other two healers, but that's not a reason to prefer WHM over AST or SCH. All three have the capability to play within a few percent of each other, much like tanks do.
remote lintel
are you using collective uncon and celestial opp together?

Hey guys, I'm trying to recover my account by unlinking the OTP from it. I read that I have to contact the Support to do so but I can't find the form for it. On the EU page it is in plain sight and the forms are very organized https://support.eu.square-enix.com/faqarticle.php?kid=78777&id=612&la=2 , but on the NA site I can't find it. Most links redirect to this page where even if I use key words it doesn't come up with what I'm looking for (https://support.na.square-enix.com/contact.php?id=496&la=1). Can someone help me please?
jolly sorrel
Like Chann said, though- plenty of people in level 65-69 dungeons are still using level 60 gear. That is just wrecking and you can't heal against that.
unreal aspen
turns out im dumb
faint flare
No, one of the effects will stop working, be it the mitigation or regen depending on the sect
But the other will persist
For 15s
remote lintel
you can use celetial opp and collective uncon together for a strong regen sofi
agile laurel
Unrelated black mage question - is it correct practice to F4 Despair Xenoglossy, sharp, B3 T3?
faint flare
So you use Diurnal to keep the regeneration
unreal aspen
ok cool yeah ive been using diurnal for dungeons
faint flare
The correct sect
agile laurel
aka, using Xeno immediately after Despair to clean weave sharpcast for resetting thunder during ice?
unreal aspen
tysm actually using collective unconscious should help a lot
agile laurel
it seems like the most viable place to put it
agile laurel
And I know I could also use F3P for the same effect
leaden ginkgo
since i realized i actually do not know at all.
Does Eureka scale your gear/does it not matter?
faint flare
You can also just weave it within thr Blizzard 3 cast
little swift
it sets you to i300 vhy
faint flare
As you have time to weave
1 thing
With the short cast
So xeno isn't.super needed
To weave the sc before T3
agile laurel
I'm (ha) in theory using sharp opener for F3P to do F4 Despair F3P font F4 Despair
but I could get the same weaving space there using xenoglossy on later rotations
xeno literally comes up at precisely the right time to be used in place of f3p in the second rotation, which is why I'm liking the vibe
faint flare
Xenoglossy is pretty flexible where it can go
agile laurel
yeah, on opener I'm using F4 D F3P font F4 D
and on consecutive rotations I'm using F4 D X sharp B3 T3 B4
however i'm still so-so on what to do with random F3Ps
cause I feel just using it in place of xeno practically, to just blast xeno in ice phase is... a loss?
faint flare
I hold them incase for movement and dump them after despair if i dont need them
unreal cipher
can I DM someone for help?
remote lintel
i typically use xeno in ice phase
unreal cipher
I did
remote lintel
or whenever i need to move

Define "solid"? Doing your daily roulettes is pretty good

I searched on that page, clicked the Additional Support at the bottom because I don't have the Emergency password (i lost it a few years ago), on the next one I picked the right categories: Software Token -> Unlink, it asks me for a summary of my inquiry and that's where I hit a wall, I can't find the right form or a way to write a ticket for the support as in the EU page. Actually I did sent a ticket yesterday about the issue with the OTP but since my account is NA, I am required to send it from the NA support page
faint flare
Lustrate tends to heal more than soil mitigates
crimson wind
Ok
faint flare
But it can somewhat help slow thr damage income if you're struggling
jolly sorrel
Perhaps make a ticket for an entirely different subject and just say "couldnt find the right subject, but hey, I have an issue"
remote lintel
or the weapon if you want
agile laurel
@crimson wind soil needs to mitigate an inane amount of damage to be worth it over lustrate. its value goes somewhat up with the 78 or whatever trait
because the enhanced sacred soil trait makes sacred soil frankly disgusting
unreal cipher
hahaha i'm genuinely thinking about doing that
faint flare
I personally just do dried hi ethers as those are for pots
jolly sorrel
I believe Soil is worth it if Lustrate alone isn't enough to cut it and you need both or else. Which is rare

hmm. okay. so does ninja rely on autoattacks a lot like rogue from wow?

no class relies on auto attacks

Auto attacks are just supplements to your combos
They go automatically provided you're in range
You keep your gcd rolling with your basic combo
unborn fox
im thinking about dragoon or ninja atm. thaumaturgy feels too slow with the long casts for my taste also black wizard gear didnt look that cool 😛

ninja uses a "mudra" system where you have these 3 buttons and you push those buttons in different combinations to create different attacks
like 1 3 2 is different from 1 2 3 or 3 2 1

remote lintel
xiv style
faint flare
Garlandtools also lets you see their models
heady flare
there are someitems that arent class locked
zenith pasture
r there any classes locked behind expansions?
remote lintel
yes
heady flare
but most are locked to their job type. melee, ranged, caster, tank and healer
remote lintel
samurai, red mage, astrologian, machinist, dark knight, gunbreaker, dancer
unborn fox
i wish i could play as dps with dark knight the job looks so cool
heady flare
you also need to level up in order to play as the expansion jobs. 50 for Red Mage and Samurai and essentially ast, drk and mch as well since you have to unlock ishgard to play as them. and 60 for gunbreaker and dancer
zenith pasture
job type? like class?
unborn fox
job = class
zenith pasture
so class as in a paladin?
remote lintel
yes
zenith pasture
or job as in paladin? or is there like a prestige system?
remote lintel
i mean
heady flare
i use job/class interchangeably
remote lintel
no
faint flare
No
remote lintel
its an upgrade
faint flare
A advancement
zenith pasture
so u start as a gladiator?
faint flare
Yes
Classes are baby versions of their respective jobs
And could just be done away with
zenith pasture
and how many lvls are there per class/job? or do u get to select from that tree?
heady flare
max level is 80, currently
faint flare
Then you go to 80
heady flare
and theres no class customization or anything like that
faint flare
You retain levels when you get your job
heady flare
at least as far as abilities and such
little swift
you should be upgrading to your job when it becomes available
it opens up more skills
faint flare
^
little swift
you're actively crippling yourself and your party if you don't
heady flare
yeah. just make sure you're doing your job quests when they are availble and youll be ok
zenith pasture
nd ill be able to upgrade once i hit 30? or from 1-30?
heady flare
certain skills are locked behind your job quests
faint flare
When you hit 30

@ember goblet is it this one?
noble ember
So for apartments can you pick which room # you want or do you get random number
heady flare
the game is fairly straight forward in its presentation to be honest. you cant get lost cause your next main story quest is in the upper left hand corner, and your job quest if right under it if its available
forest laurel
you can choose whichever apartment you want that is for sale
faint flare
You get the first apartment thats open
ember goblet
im not sure if thats the one
faint flare
No picking the number
forest laurel
wait really?
faint flare
Yes
forest laurel
I thought you can
faint flare
No
zenith pasture
is dark knight and gunbreaker locked behind an expansion?
remote lintel
yes
noble ember
Oh poo. I wanted room number 23 that's my lucky number and it's open but I'll end up with #17
strong saddle
gg
remote lintel
for dark knight you need to get to the first expansion and for gnb be lvl 60
zenith pasture
ohh
faint flare
You need to own the expansions as well
ember goblet
is there another one
zenith pasture
so i cant just bu*y the expansion and select the class?
faint flare
No
faint flare
They have level requirements
little swift
an image like this?
zenith pasture
so either paladin or warrior? or i gotta become a paladin before becoming a warrior? lol
faint flare
You can be warrior
faint flare
By picking marauder
zenith pasture
both per character?
heady flare
gladiator becomes paladin, marauder becomes warrior
patent citrus
gladiator -> paladin, marauder -> warrior
remote lintel
if you want to be a paladin you pick gladiator at character creation and if you want to me a warrior pick marauder
faint flare
On the same character
remote lintel
but if you picked paladin for example
you can become a marauder by going to limsa and unlocking it
and then you have both paladin and marauder
little swift
https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/playguide/db/recipe/0a41d04dc79/
@ember goblet there's this one? 
also you can just phase some shower heads into the wall to fake waterfalls
zenith pasture
and if i picked marauder, and wanted to become a dark knight on the same character and met the reqs. can i just switch jobs?
faint flare
Yes
remote lintel
yes
patent citrus
yeah, just change weapon i think
faint flare
You can be every job
patent citrus
each class has unique weapon
remote lintel
except scholar/summoner early on
zenith pasture
and i start from 0 when i pick another job right?
faint flare
Once you do the unlock quest, you just equip the weapon
remote lintel
dark knight starts at 30
faint flare
Depending on job
remote lintel
all expansion jobs don't start at 1
faint flare
Expansion.jobs start higher
heady flare
DRK and GNB dont have a base class, though. so you just unlock it when you do the quest
remote lintel
but for base game jobs they will be lvl 1
faint flare
Base classes start at 1
patent citrus
technically their base class is every class 🤣
zenith pasture
so ill be automatically lvl 60 or whatever for dark knight, along with the skills for the class unlocked?
patent citrus
all you need to do is reach the respective level requirement
faint flare
No
remote lintel
heavensward expansion jobs start at 30, stormblood jobs at 50, shadowbringer jobs at 60
faint flare
Dark starts at 30
heady flare
DRK started at level 30
faint flare
Gunbreaker however starts at 60
And you'll have their respective skills for their levels
heady flare
you also still need to do job quests in order to unlock skills
zenith pasture
and skills unlocked to lvl 30?
remote lintel
yes
heady flare
yes
zenith pasture
srry for too many questions btw, 1 more tho wuts the best method to earn gold/cash? r dungeons good for xp nd gold?
remote lintel
crafting at lvl 80
zenith pasture
well pre lvl 80 lol
lime geode
I found this helpful - covers all the classes: https://desibear.com/screenshots/NewPlayerGuideShB.png
remote lintel
pre lvl 80 do msq
heady flare
most money making methods dont really unlock til much later
remote lintel
gives plenty
faint flare
Story holds you over
heady flare
Eureka, Maps, crafting
faint flare
For money
heady flare
for now id just focus on MSQ. a lot of this will become clear as you play. and getting overwhelmed with information isnt a good place to start imho
remote lintel
you don't make that much money until you hit max level
strong saddle
How much does an avg player make
remote lintel
from just doing dailies prob a few hundred k
little swift
probably not that much
remote lintel
if you really get into crafting probably millions
little swift
not everybody spends their time making money
zenith pasture
picking worlds random orrr?
strong saddle
tfw dyes are expensice as heck
little swift
you can get a fair amount from roulettes along
you can choose lucifer

pick a preferred world
zenith pasture
so the exp star world is full, any clue for how long?
little swift
!faq serverlock
zinc orbitBOT
lime geode
IMO Absolutely.
remote lintel
the exp is mainly good for leveling alt classes
lime geode
Even in peak times I only wait <30s
little swift
its double exp from ALL sources for ALL jobs under level 70
lime geode
To log in.
remote lintel
it's not horrible if you don't get it
little swift
siv log in and character creation are not hte same thing
zenith pasture
so is my world Primal? and it has sub servers i can connect to and switch? or locked in?
lime geode
Yeah I meant after creation - it's not like you have to wait ages to get on.
little swift
you can choose a different DC
little swift
aether/crystal are the other NA data centers
you don't have to choose a preferred world, but its nice to have
zenith pasture
so if i select exodus, i can switch to famfrit (exp)?
remote lintel
you can't transfer to a preferred world to get the buff
patent citrus
you gotta check out facebook/discord page of ffxiv in your country
lime geode
What are these blue balls I keep seeing?
patent citrus
and which data center is the most crowded
little swift
but world visit is a thing if you want to go to another server on your data cente rto play
those are sightseeing logs @lime geode
remote lintel
those are for your sightseeing journal
little swift
/lookout is usually the command
lime geode
ah
remote lintel
@patent citrus none
zenith pasture
i see ty
little swift
!faq worldstatus
zinc orbitBOT
little swift
or alternatively kupo bot takes that information for this page
patent citrus
most of our players reside in tonberry/kujata (jp datacenter)
patent citrus
yeah, thats why i said most
little swift
and neither are either of those worlds full right now
lime geode
I found the US California server to be slightly faster than JP, but I'm guessing it depends where you are in Oz.
little swift
its the same for other servers

obsidian patio
If you forgot to attune to any Aetherytes on the First, you can go back there through the Crystal Tower Trench by talking to a researcher
remote lintel
fort jobb or something
obsidian patio
Crystarium too
faint flare
Its a Shadowbringers area fyi
The first you go to
You'll know the place basically immediately
When you get there
tidal yarrow
remote lintel
probably not accurate ones
halcyon glen
Is there anything practical i can get with phantasmagoria?
Or should I do what I'm tempted to do anyway and spend them on glams
remote lintel
mats
leaden ginkgo
Should you spend irregular tombstones you have before they are next updated? Is there any incentive to save them?
halcyon glen
irregulars don't carry over between exchanges so burn em
little swift
Unless you want to keepone for commemoration
leaden ginkgo
Thanks. Time for a new mount Lol
obsidian patio
I recommend ixion since it’s hard to get normally
sturdy mason
When using 3 separate UI elements for enhancements/ailments/etc, on enhancements: Does "prioritize own enhancements" keep my own buffs left-most? How is it actually rendered when there's my buffs + others' buffs?
obsidian patio
Puts yours to the left
radiant sierra
Me and the boys were thinking about playing a group of 4 white mages for memes. How impossible is this?
remote lintel
in what
little swift
In dungeons irs doable
You can run agonist anything
Almost*
But trials? You don't have enough People
radiant sierra
just for leveling and stuff, none of the end game content
remote lintel
sure
radiant sierra
thanks

is there anyone i can talk to on the FF discord that can help with my FFXIV account? It got hacked and I can't change my password because the DoB I entered when I registered is wrong and i don't remember it

can edencall gears be overmelded?

If your gear has a Advance Melding Forbidden tag, then it can't be overmeld

What does Crafter’s Delineation do?
leaden ginkgo
where can i find party members ?
zinc orbitBOT
Powered by XIVAPI
faint flare
It says it right there
Do nothing for a turn while preserving buffs
Aka observe but your buffs dont tick down
So you can fish for procs
leaden ginkgo
i need one healer and tank and dps where can i find help
Can you activate it a lot as long as you have Crafter’s observation?
faint flare
Que with duty finder and wait
Yes
And you're a specialist
As its a specialist skill
leaden ginkgo
Cool thank you @faint flare you’re so knowledgeable 😊
faint flare
What you get for playing so long 🤷♂️
leaden ginkgo
I just started to get fixated on crafting so I love learning from a experience person such as yourself 😊
wanton shadow
can you do the MSQ in a party with a friend?
I know there are some solo instances etc but can you do most of it with a friend?
faint flare
The overworld and dungeon stuff
Yes
But you'll have to leave for solo instances and reparty
faint flare
Mix of both
remote lintel
that's what quests are
wanton shadow
a friend and I wanted to progress together, but it sort of sounds like we're gonna be doing our own thing anyway?
remote lintel
for some parts
faint flare
The story is mostly solo
wanton shadow
hmmm thats annoying

Can you trade shire gear?

leaden ginkgo
whats the best all around server in north america? which one do i pick or does it matter?
faint flare
Depends what you wanna do
Data centre matters more
Than server
As everything is cross server within your data centre (except housing and guilds)
leaden ginkgo
im new to these types of games so what is the difference between each data servers?
remote lintel
nothing really
faint flare
The community
Is the only real difference
Even then its not really that different
All NA data centres are in the same location ping wise
remote lintel
crystal has a smaller raiding community and thats about it
leaden ginkgo
which one is the best data center all around?
remote lintel
all of them
faint flare
Depends what you want to do
void jacinth
I play on Ultros, but an old friend did too.
heady flare
You'll be fine on whatever data center you play on
faint flare
If you wanna raid then maybe lean more on Aether or Primal
void jacinth
It's really dependant on if you have friends in that data center
faint flare
Otherwise any is fine
heady flare
If you have friends obviously that takes precedence
leaden ginkgo
i dont know what i want to do because im new to these types of games. I just want something thats good all around
heady flare
I started on Ultros and had a good time about a year ago
Well year and a half
Plenty of people to help get my legs under me
void jacinth
I like ultros, but I don't have friends to play with anymore.
leaden ginkgo
whats the difference between aether and primal?
leaden ginkgo
ok
leaden ginkgo
thanks ill look into it
heady flare
Crystal does seem to have a newer player base in my experience
pure flicker
aether and primal are just known for raiding generally
void jacinth
By the way, where should I go to ask people in this server if they want to join my FC?
remote lintel
recruit channel
void jacinth
Thanks. I wasn't sure.
leaden ginkgo
do they ever put the collector's edition upgrades on sale?
leaden ginkgo
I noticed the PC downloads got a 50% discount but not for the upgrades
pliant laurel
hi im new to the game aka i only have 2 characters and need as much help as i can get so pls help

why do you have more than 1 character
remote lintel
you don't need any besides if you just want to play a diff race

@faint flare on single target or boss, when do you cast the Thunder procs?
remote lintel

But dont let the proc fall off either

Don't let thunder proc expire either
pliant laurel
im just gonna wing it
leaden ginkgo
for thunder 4 it' as soon as it pops, right?
warped nest
Yeah
pliant laurel
so i got into this game because of streamer shenpai how do i like change my UI?
faint flare
System > hud editor
leaden ginkgo
@faint flare if thunder is about to fall off while I have a proc up, then I enter ice phase, then use the proc, what action can I fill into the ice phase while my mana tics?
pliant laurel
how do I change the size of my hot bars?
remote lintel
hud layout

In the hud editor

Select the hotbar then the cog

is there an easy way to swap between classes?
leaden ginkgo
yes
wanton shadow
I tried putting the low level weapons on a hotbar but when I click em it does nothing
spare plinth
i just reached level 50, is it highly recommended to get ironworks until i get expansions
faint flare
Make gear sets
lime geode
Open you Character - near the top it says Gear Sets, click the Gear Set Lists button
leaden ginkgo
that, forgot the name
faint flare
Open your character page and press the page icon to open the gear set list
lime geode
Create a gear set, then you can drag it to a hotbar
faint flare
Then make a new gear set
wanton shadow
oh I see
faint flare
Whenever you use that gear set, it applies all equipment that was saved to it
wanton shadow
I'm pretty low level so my gear is gonna change often though
faint flare
So remember to update it often
lime geode
The refresh button refreshes it
faint flare
With the update button
lime geode
So that it's updated
warped nest
Gearset can be updated with a refresh button
leaden ginkgo
lol
faint flare
You can also link glamour plates to gear sets whenever you delve into fashion
faint flare
Right click gear set > link plate
leaden ginkgo

Let's not talk about glamour plate while this player here is still trying to handle using gearset
We will get there when he/she got there

Tataru says you can't start a new adventure without a new outfit
Hey guys I need help
No matter how many times I reset my password I can't login to to anything square enix related
wanton shadow
is it possible to only have a hotbar visible when I hit a hotkey?
leaden ginkgo
@leaden ginkgo it has happened to me too, the thing is that you actually have two passwords, one for the square enix store, and one for your actual FF account
remote lintel
the SE store isnt the same as the ff14 account
leaden ginkgo
I can't even seem to log into the SE store right now
yeah
try logging into your mogstation first
I've reset my password a few times cant login to the game the SE store or mogstation
oh
I have and it sadly does not let me
I always get the same ID or password is incorrect
did you choose an old password?
No. I just purchased this game today.
are you getting emails confirming your password updates?
yes every time yet I still can't log in. It's honestly been very aggravating. I'd just like to play the game.
I've tried quite a few times
remote lintel
did you make a mogstation account
leaden ginkgo
also, don't let your browser save or fill your password right now
it messes up with the recovery
enter/type your password manually when prompted
I'm not sure what exactly you mean by mogstation account sorry
and typing manually didnt seem to help
ok, you should have two accounts
leaden ginkgo
SE account and the actual FFXIV account
remote lintel
!faq mogstation
zinc orbitBOT
remote lintel
make an account here
leaden ginkgo
@leaden ginkgo did you register your game in the mogstation?
remote lintel
everything related to your ff14 account is done through mogstation, NOT the SE store
leaden ginkgo
I haven't registered my game here and I'll make an account. I already purchased the complete edition the on store section but now I can't log into that after changing passwords
base don the image you shared, you're resetting your store account
I see.
This is all very confusing sorry
remote lintel
it is
leaden ginkgo
yeah it's confusing
remote lintel
thats just how its set up
leaden ginkgo
it happened to me when I bought the game too
the thing is, the square enix store is just that, a store, it has nothing to do with the game account
the mogstation account is the actual game account, that you use to log into the game
when you make a new mogstation account, you can register your game key there
remote lintel
you also need to register your game to mogstation
vagrant scroll
^this.
- check your email/information with the store website, find the key (think: CD Key) for your purchase, normally they email it out iirc.
- make an account + log in at mogstation
- give mogstation key
- use mogstation login details to log into game, etc.
leaden ginkgo
I think its working now
