Gil selling is legal, but come on

[twilit arch]

gil runs are legal

[agile laurel]

these ain't

[twilit arch]

there's nothing in game that says those are for real money

[simple shore]

Its not about "those arent"

[twilit arch]

therefore they are legal

[simple shore]

its about what you can prove

[agile laurel]

WoW has the same problem, spam and they're just smart enough to not mention money until you get them off platform

[simple shore]

Yup

Do yourself a favor

[agile laurel]

blacklist/report and move on

[kind burrow]

Engage in an ethical converastion! 🙂

[simple shore]

blacklist everyone you see with PF's like that

and you wont see them anymore

[warm rover]

No money take and no confirmed email now 😮

[median locust]

Gil runs are fine but account sharing isn't, so good luck clearing UCOB 7-man without having someone pilot that character, lol

(I'm aware it's been done but it's definitely not easy)

[tidal yarrow]

what is a "favorite destination"?

[twilit arch]

teleport locations that are reduced in cost

[median locust]

A place you can teleport to with a discount

[tidal yarrow]

oh so cool. how much the discount?

[faint flare]

Half

[simple shore]

Slightly better than half, if we're getting technical

lol

Since 999 turns into 499

[tidal yarrow]

how do I check on mog site how many days I've been subbed?

[timid falcon]

anyone got some good guides on making gil?

[kind burrow]

how do you have the /wait command and execute command in the same macro line?

[tidal yarrow]

it says 30 but because I paid one month. it's actually 45 or more tho

[simple shore]

/ac "Action Name" <wait.2>

[agile laurel]

you just tag <wait.2> onto the end

[simple shore]

would do "Action Name" and then wait 2

[median locust]

/playdead <wait.3>

[kind burrow]

thank you

[simple shore]

However, as a general warning

do not use those for combat

[wanton shadow]

I read that once I hit 15 I can travel to other starting areas, how do I do this?

[agile laurel]

@timid falcon gil making guides won't really do much because nobody's about to tell you how they make their money, really just see what's selling and farm it

[faint flare]

Story

[twilit arch]

keep in mind that any free days you've gotten (either from starter edition or preferred server) is not counted as days subs @tidal yarrow

[agile laurel]

leveling gatherers/crafters will help

[kind burrow]

yeah i just want to have an expression for the longest amoutn possible

[halcyon glen]

@wanton shadow Once you reach the first level 15 main story quest

[wanton shadow]

ohhh I see

[timid falcon]

@agile laurel gotcha thanks

[faint flare]

Story takes you through the different cities

[wanton shadow]

I just did my level 15 job quest

nvm then!

[faint flare]

Story is basically almost always the answer

[wanton shadow]

haha

[simple shore]

Gil making pretty much comes down to "Supply shit that is either rare, or people are too lazy to get themselves"

[wanton shadow]

is attack power essentially my base damage?

[faint flare]

Its a big part of the damage forumla

Weapon damage is the best stat for damage and healing

[warm rover]

4 hours now still nothing hmm strange 😮

[wanton shadow]

I'm asking because I have 2 polearms , one has + str but the other has higher base damage

so I'm trying to figure out which is better

[faint flare]

Always take the higher weapon damage

[simple shore]

Higher base damage, but they should both have STR

[faint flare]

Weapon damage is king

[simple shore]

so im a bit confused

Unless its one of those goofy glam-only weapons

but those are usually ilvl 1

[halcyon glen]

Some weapons of similar ilvl have different stat mods

which can get confusing at low levels

but weapon damage remains king

[twilit arch]

go to the arcanist guild in limsa

and talk to the receptionist

[median locust]

Pick up the "So you want to become an Arcanist" quest in Limsa Lominsa

If you haven't been there yet, continue the main story until you do

then equip a book

[twilit arch]

yes

[median locust]

yes

[agile laurel]

hunt log, dungeons

palace of the dead

[faint flare]

Hunting logs, fates, dungeons

[median locust]

At lv30, after beating the class quests, you'll have 2 unlock quests in the ACN guild, one for Summoner, one for Scholar

[agile laurel]

leves if you're desperate i guess

does sch unlock actually start at the arcanists' guild? brain tells me it started at Alka but i may be wrong

[clever cave]

Yes

[agile laurel]

fair enough

[little swift]

Both job quests begin in arcanist guild

One from guild master other from receptionist

[wintry chasm]

^

Just the scholar one takes you to Alka

[rich bay]

How do you get this kind of icons?

https://m.imgur.com/a/7wB3ckC

(I mean the job icons)

[little swift]

Ui mod

[warm rover]

It worked through Steam wallet, so I have 30 days now

[rich bay]

Ah, okay.

You mean somesort of textools? (Or how it is called)
Not that it is useful, tough, it just look nicer.

@little swift

[mossy tartan]

In the French client. Which job is abbreviated as “INV”?

[little swift]

Yeah it's a mod that apply through textools dreamy

Searching ffxiv ui mod should lead you to it

[twilit arch]

looks like summoner @mossy tartan

When dark knight casts the spell that makes his HP go to 1, how many seconds do I have to top his HP back?

[agile laurel]

that's gunbreaker

actually uh

!action living dead

[zinc orbit]

**Living Dead** : lvl 50 DRK (300.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Grants the effect of Living Dead. When HP is reduced to 0 while under the effect of Living Dead, instead of becoming KO'd, your status will change to Walking Dead.
Living Dead Duration: 10s
While under the effect of Walking Dead, most attacks will not lower your HP below 1. If, before the Walking Dead timer runs out, HP is 100% restored, the effect will fade. If 100% is not restored, you will be KO'd.
Walking Dead Duration: 10s

Powered by XIVAPI

[mossy tartan]

Oh right, both of them

[agile laurel]

!action superbolide

[twilit arch]

living dead doesn't drop you to 1 hp

[zinc orbit]

**Superbolide** : lvl 50 GNB (360.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Reduces HP to 1 and renders you impervious to most attacks.
Duration: 8s

Powered by XIVAPI

[agile laurel]

which do you mean?

[mossy tartan]

Like in the GIF above, the dark knight’s HP drops to 1

[faint flare]

Its because of the buster

[agile laurel]

the dark knight's HP went to 1 because he should've died

but LD saved him

[median locust]

The ability doesn't make then go to 1, it just prevents them from dying

[agile laurel]

and Walking Dead is active for 10 seconds

so you have that long

[twilit arch]

either way, you ideally want to wait atleast 10s to use healing spells

[mossy tartan]

Oh, so gun breaker’s is the one that forcefully makes your HP 1

[twilit arch]

so they get the walking dead buff

[median locust]

Then after they hit 1, you have 10 seconds to heal the equivalent of his full HP

[faint flare]

Yes

[simple shore]

That said, if you see LD up on a DRK

[rich bay]

Living dead becoms Walking dead when DRK "dies".
Walking dead = heal 100% or DRK goes KO after 10s.

[simple shore]

You should stop healing them until it converts to WD, generally

[agile laurel]

Basically red icon = LD is activated, grey icon = heal this mans

[mossy tartan]

got it

And gunbreaker’s is just top him off immediately?

[agile laurel]

but yes, Gunbreaker's makes your health go to 1, but gives you simply 8 seconds of invul

yeah, just heal them

[twilit arch]

you can slap a regen on gnb generally

and be fine

[agile laurel]

gunbreaker shouldn't really be losing much health by superboliding usually

[simple shore]

Nothing is more annoying than popping LD because it looks like the healer cant keep up, and the healer manages to keep me at 5% for 10 seconds straight and then immediately falls behind.

[twilit arch]

drk is generally the only one you need to heal "asap" because of how walking dead works

[mossy tartan]

I usually get a panic attack when I see a gun breaker suddenly drop like this, so I just benediction out of instinct

[median locust]

Gunbreaker is invincible for a few seconds, heal them whenever you want but don't let them die when it runs out

[twilit arch]

which is fine

[agile laurel]

However some jobs like scholar-that-doesn't-have-many-cooldowns-left can struggle to heal LD

[simple shore]

Bene on a GB instantly is fine

[twilit arch]

benny does the job

[simple shore]

Bene on a DRK instantly is a waste

[twilit arch]

eh, not quite

benny is actually the best choice for drk

[simple shore]

because for those 10 seconds, they're HP locked at 1. By using Bene on them instantly rather than waiting a few seconds, you're creating more damage to heal.

[twilit arch]

You're spending no gcd on healing them to their max hp

[rich bay]

After LD triggers, benediction is very good. I use it all the time in savage.

[mossy tartan]

Since I need to wait to actually heal DRK, Would hard casting cure II into tetra into solace be efficient?

[twilit arch]

er

[agile laurel]

Walking dead is functionally holmgang

[twilit arch]

you said "instantly"

my bad

[agile laurel]

but when it expires you die

[simple shore]

Yeah

[median locust]

They're still invincible while walking dead is up, the moment you heal them to full, they can die again. So you can abuse the invicibility for other things

[simple shore]

The idea is that when WD triggers, you dont want to just Bene them immediately

[restive dagger]

Hello, guys. Just downloaded this game today and I am trying to create a new character. I heard that Tonberry server has a lot of english users, and kujata 2nd. But I can't get into both of them right now. What do I do? 😦

[zenith pasture]

How do I join guilds?

[agile laurel]

Wait, @restive dagger

[simple shore]

because you're wasting 10 seconds of immunity

[agile laurel]

you'll be able to join when less folks are online

[mossy tartan]

Yep, I’ll have to wait for the other status effect (gray)

[agile laurel]

probably some time later in the day

[simple shore]

Well, no

the grey status effect lasts 10 seconds too

[restive dagger]

So, I just need to relaunch it at off hours?

[agile laurel]

yup

[simple shore]

So im saying when it turns grey dont just immediately bene

[agile laurel]

keep half an eye on it, really

[simple shore]

wait a few seconds, spam a few holy's, whatever

Then Bene

[agile laurel]

Basically when the icon is grey, they will not die until it expires

[mossy tartan]

Ok. I’m going to have to read the tool tip for extra info

[agile laurel]

So, you can wait til it's nearly going to expire

then bene

[mossy tartan]

ah, that way

[agile laurel]

and cram more dps

[simple shore]

because as soon as they hit 100%, they grey icon goes away. So now they're taking damage again.

etc.

[restive dagger]

it's around 11pm right now, I will try it a few hours later. Maybe around the time the japanese are asleep or smt right? @agile laurel thanks bro

[agile laurel]

can I...

!action walking dead

[zinc orbit]

Error!

Action not found, Kupo!

[agile laurel]

no?

fck

is there a thing for buffs?

[mossy tartan]

Oh, so the technique is to just squeeze in as much efficiency from their immunity as possible then just bene

[rich bay]

@simple shore

Not smart, because of GCD clipping. Once you know there are no more TB, just use Bene.
Also risky, because it is possible benediction triggers on the moment LD falls off, in that case you lose Benediction and the tank is on the floor.

[agile laurel]

Basically

While under the effect of Walking Dead, most attacks will not lower your HP below 1. If, before the Walking Dead timer runs out, HP is 100% restored, the effect will fade. If 100% is not restored, you will be KO'd.
Walking Dead Duration: 10s

Are player guilds/clans a thing?

[median locust]

Not sure but Garlandtools has it

[agile laurel]

yes, lucifer

How do I go about joining one? Didn’t see any server chat or anything

[mossy tartan]

thank you for the help everyone

[rich bay]

@zenith pasture

Ask in a big city for an FC

[agile laurel]

Check the recruitment channel here, check party finder, or just /shout in Limsa/read shouts in Limsa

[gloomy mortar]

I’m level 70; throw out leftover Alexander, Midas, and Gordian bolts, pedals, gears, springs, lens, etc? Taking up 16 slots of inventory...

[agile laurel]

if you're not going to buy anything with them

yeet em

but consider you can trade them for unidentifiable goods for anima weapon

or buying random other crap with

[median locust]

You can buy the things to desynth them or keep them for glam

If you're not gonna, throw em out

[rich bay]

And other stuff, like music rolls.

[zenith pasture]

I see ty

[gloomy mortar]

I have enough to buy 2 unidentifiable bone. Buy and save that bone?

[noble ember]

Is there a server for ffxiv housing/designs

[lavish vortex]

whats the best way to farm for lvl VIII materia?

[agile laurel]

hunt trains

@noble ember there's a housing channel on the Balance discord but idk beside that

[lavish vortex]

is farming for Cracked Stellacluster a good way? you can buy 1 lvl VIII materia for one of those

[leaden ginkgo]

is there any way to recruit for killing a ShB A-Rank? Because I've had a party finder group up for the last 30 minutes and gotten nothing

[agile laurel]

hunt train will come round for all the a ranks

keep an eye out for them being called

to that extent it's actually kinda a dick move to pick off single a ranks

at least without logging it

@lavish vortex that basically is the way, yes

[lavish vortex]

im not familiar with hunts, i dont know how to do them or join them, is there a good guide to that?

[median locust]

Joining a hunt discord will definitely help, I don't know of the "goto" Crystal discord though

[twilit arch]

i would suggest looking in #resources

pretty sure there's a crystal hunt discord in there

[lavish vortex]

thanks!

[agile laurel]

@lavish vortex @median locust https://discord.gg/S8fKQvh

[leaden ginkgo]

I did join the hunt discord

[twilit arch]

there's a second quest once you clear floor 30

[leaden ginkgo]

I've been waiting an hour for someone to help me come kill this thing

[lavish vortex]

Is Malboro on Crystal?

iirc its a normal

[agile laurel]

yes, it is

@lavish vortex

balmung-brynhildr-coeurl-diabolos-goblin-mateus-malboro-zalera

[halcyon glen]

okay i give up

how do i do the second scholar quest

[lilac mulch]

what weapon is this

Novus is arr relic

The raw weapon its glamoured over is the Shadowbringers relix

[twilit arch]

@halcyon glen what are you having trouble with

[halcyon glen]

how to get to the last point i need to interact with

[agile laurel]

iirc you need to be in some vaguely specific locations

i recall it taking me a hot minute, but I don't recall what I had to do

[halcyon glen]

okay i have now figured it out, i just missed a jump

why do i need to do precise jumping for a scholar quest

[leaden ginkgo]

nevermind I just won't do hunts, no one is coming to help

Well how can i use a splitter so i can hear pc vc as well?

[simple shore]

A what now

[gritty oracle]

Is roulette bonus XP adjusted for whatever levels we have gained in the instance?

[oak ice]

It's based on the level of your job compared to the instance you're doing

If you level up inside the instance, it should increase a little bit

[leaden ginkgo]

Hi Everyone. Maybe someone can help me here.. 🙂 I tried to post on the FFXIV reddit to ask for starting advice for a new/returning player for EU server choice. They removed my post because it was "repetitive" (my first post) and it was marginally related to FF14 (are starting servers suggestions really that marginal?).... Can I do this here or can someone guide me where I should go and ask ?

[faint flare]

Daily question thread or here is better than making a new thread

[oak ice]

Server choice has absolutely no bearing outside of if you already have friends there

[timid falcon]

if you choose the new server you get an EXP boost

[oak ice]

You probably want to pick a preferred one because of the exp boost but other than that, no

Everything is done cross data center anyway

[open coral]

Server choice doesn't really matter. For EU, all you really need to know is that Shiva is the unofficial German server, so if you want an English-speaking FC (guild) you may not want to choose Shiva.

[leaden ginkgo]

I understand that there are different economies. And that some servers are primarily french (I think that was Moogle) or german... I'm trying to find one primarily in English.

[faint flare]

All of them are majority English

[oak ice]

Anything except moogle or shiva

[faint flare]

^

[oak ice]

And economies matter little since gil is largely useless outside of being lazy

[faint flare]

And you can world visit to buy from other markets

[halcyon glen]

Also you can temporarily visit any world on your Data Center in order to go shopping at their market board

[oak ice]

You'll have more than enough gil from quests to teleport around

[halcyon glen]

I know I did some world-hopping to get my 80 gear

[leaden ginkgo]

There is no issue with population and raiding at endgame ? I read some servers are more "raiding" active than others.

[oak ice]

Raiding is done cross data center

[open coral]

Pretty much all social content outside of FCs is cross-server within a data center

[faint flare]

Everything is cross server these days

[open coral]

Which includes endgame

[faint flare]

Data centre choice matters far more than server

[leaden ginkgo]

are guilds cross server as well in that case?

[faint flare]

No

[open coral]

No

[faint flare]

But those arent a big deal

[oak ice]

The one thing that isn't

[halcyon glen]

Guilds (we call them FCs) are the only thing local to one server

[faint flare]

FCs are primarily social and getting a few people to play with occasionally

[open coral]

But most endgame statics are not FC-based

[halcyon glen]

and while NA has a fairly distinct raiding DC ranking, afaik the EU DCs are about equal in terms of endgame?

[faint flare]

Yes

[open coral]

EU is pretty endgame casual compared to NA and JP

[leaden ginkgo]

I don't see myself pugging raids, so I'm guessing if I want to do that I would have to find an FC then

[faint flare]

You dont need one

[open coral]

Pugging is easy anyways.

[faint flare]

You find a static

Which doesn't need a fc

[oak ice]

Tell that to the people dropping clouds in the middle of the arena

[halcyon glen]

oof

[open coral]

And you only really need a static if you're planning to get into Savage progression raiding.

[halcyon glen]

Or doing something stupid like synced coils

[leaden ginkgo]

I've raided quite a few years in WoW, a bit hc, so I can get headaches from people standing in places where they shouldn't 🙂 but hey, if you guys are saying most content is casual accessible... sound good

[faint flare]

Server doesn't matter, you can do everything regardless where you go

[open coral]

Let me put it this way: FFXIV lfr is on-par with Normal raiding in WoW, and while day 1/week 1 might be a bit messy, people generally pick things up pretty quickly when new instances are added.

You'll always have a few idiots, obviously, but people are largely capable of avoiding telegraphed, avoidable damage.

[leaden ginkgo]

That helps, thanks @open coral 🙂

I have 30ish lvl char on Cerberus... so I can either continue to play on this server on start on Spriggan (I think someone mentioned XP boost for newest servers?)

[halcyon glen]

not newest, least populated as of 6 months ago

[open coral]

For "preferred" servers there is an xp boost if you create a new character that lasts for all jobs under level 70.

Those servers will have a star next to them in the server list when you create your character.

[halcyon glen]

It helps, but not having it isn't the end of the world. source: did not have that buff on my character.

[leaden ginkgo]

don't see any starts, so maybe that was a thing of the past 😛

[thick fable]

Hey uh, how do I get the gold saucer points fast

[open coral]

If your character is only level 30, starting over isn't a bad prospect. But as ddrox said, not having the "Road to 70" buff isn't that bad either.

Do the Gold Saucer challenge log entries. @thick fable

You can get a ton from doing the Lord of Verminion ones, as I recall.

[halcyon glen]

The fastest right now afaik is gather 3 blue mages and a tank and spam Aurum Vale for moogle tomestones

[open coral]

And the chocobo racing ones are pretty quick too.

Oh, yes moogle tome event is also an easy way.

30 tomes = 50k MGP

[thick fable]

I just want the cool dancing and haircuts

And maybe a cool sword for my drk

[leaden ginkgo]

I need to start over anyway with a new character, to learn the game mechanics and stuff 🙂 It's been years since I created that character. But I will continue on Cerberus then. Thanks a lot everyone for you help!

[halcyon glen]

Aurum Vale is 5 Tomestones so 6 runs of that is 50k MGP

[thick fable]

How will I find that many blue mages lmao

[halcyon glen]

Oh, and given it is Friday you can do fashion report

!fr

[zinc orbit]

Fashion Report for the week of 07/21-07/27

Resets in 3 Days, 16 Hours, 8 Minutes, 50 Seconds

[thick fable]

Well that seems easy

How do I enter?

[open coral]

There's a in the Gold Saucer to unlock the Fashion Report

Then just speak to the report NPC during the timeframe to have him judge you

[halcyon glen]

I believe the is in the main lobby?

[open coral]

Yes, opposite the entrance from the airship landing

[halcyon glen]

The timeframe fwiw is the nest 3.5 days

[thick fable]

So I could have him judge me rn?

[agile laurel]

yes

i did it when i woke up

[thick fable]

Les goo

Now I just gotta find the clothes

And the dye

[open coral]

Those are pretty easy

You can buy them all from vendors or the MB if you don't have them already

[halcyon glen]

only hard part is the snow white dye for the hat

[agile laurel]

hardly hard

[thick fable]

^

[agile laurel]

can just spam stone vigil

[halcyon glen]

o right

[agile laurel]

or buy it for tuppence off MB, yeah

[thick fable]

No clue where to find that dye

[gritty oracle]

can a party of two clear the entire bahamut raid? (80 and 70something)

[agile laurel]

Uh dusk vigil, sorry

that drops it

[open coral]

Nominally, yes @gritty oracle

[gritty oracle]

you can farm grey pigment and craft it

[open coral]

You might have a little trouble with Nael, but the rest of the bosses shouldn't give you much trouble.

[thick fable]

That's assuming I've even leveled any crafting class

[halcyon glen]

either farm dank vigil, craft it, buy if from the Ixali vendor if you've unlocked it, or just market board it

I suggest the market board

[median locust]

Nael is easy to duo as long as you aren't 2 DPS without healing

[mossy tartan]

Is it better to spread my glares on 2 targets equally, or just focus on 1?

[open coral]

Glare is single target, so focus

After Dia-ing all targets

[halcyon glen]

and if dungeon pull, holy them a few times anyway

[open coral]

Spread dots, focus casts

[halcyon glen]

for that sweet sweet stun

[open coral]

Yep, you can get off 3-4 Holy on trash packs usually

For a full stun duration

[halcyon glen]

also tip i learned was don't be afraid to swiftcast holy in dungeons for quick flashbang stun

[mossy tartan]

I learned that yesterday, it’s amazingly good. Especially if the tank is way ahead of you and you need to holy as soon as you reach the spot

[open coral]

Yeah, especially since the animation (and thus the hit) takes another second to resolve after the cast finishes

But yeah, outside of Holy spam (and Assize), spread dots and focus casts is going to be your rule of thumb for multiple targets.

[mossy tartan]

I usually spam dia on every target I can while sprinting and pulling with the tank

How often can tanks generate AoE enmity? I’m unfamiliar with the system

[open coral]

Every gcd

[halcyon glen]

A good tank? every GCD.

[clever cave]

Every gcd ya

[mossy tartan]

wow

[median locust]

Tanks have a tank stance that makes all their attacks generate aggro

[clever cave]

Soemtimes the aoe miss but still

[median locust]

A good tank will be using AoE as much as they can so yeah

every GCD

[open coral]

Tanks are like physical dps, so they have a ST rotation and an AoE rotation, both on gcd

[halcyon glen]

The tank I had in Sohm Al Hard earlier this week? Never

but tanks who know what they're doing should have aggro on all mobs in a pull all the time

[open coral]

And as long as they have their tank stance on, everything they do should be generating enmity

[faint flare]

Tfw tank in gubal hard keep turning off their stance on cooldown

[mossy tartan]

Sometimes when I revive a tank it takes a while for him to generate enmity, is it normal? (Approx 5 seconds on average, experienced a lot of it)

[faint flare]

Yes

[open coral]

Yeah

[faint flare]

Because they now have 0 aggro

While people have more

So it takes abit

[halcyon glen]

yeah, 2-3 GCDs so like 5 seconds

[open coral]

Because if the dps are continuing to do damage, then it will take a couple of gcds before the tank's aggro gets back up, even if they're doing everything right.

[halcyon glen]

use this time to mash heals on everyone

[open coral]

That's a good time for things like Assize and Afflatus Rapture

[halcyon glen]

because your tank will take aggro back in 2 GCDs

[open coral]

Instants with AoE effect

[halcyon glen]

and they need health

I mean it's almost never a bad time for Assize

[open coral]

True

[mossy tartan]

I let a DPS die a couple of hours ago because I didn’t even notice he was being attacked by the boss when I revived the tank, I felt so bad so I felt like I had to study enmity more. He was so mad, and for a good reason :/

[leaden ginkgo]

Do I need to be level 30 in a particular DoH job in order to desynth stuff that's made with that job?

[halcyon glen]

Like, you should be using Assize on cooldown as a DPS skill.

[mossy tartan]

In a trial *

I usually use assize on cooldown unless an AoE attack is in the next 5 seconds or so

Before I ramp up my lilies

[open coral]

As a healer, you really learn to keep an eye on everyone's health, not just the tank's. And over time you'll get the hang of immediately determining which dps needs fast healing while the tank regains control

[leaden ginkgo]

I just now found out about desynthing gear and I've got an 80 Cul but my Leather/Carp are only at 50 and I only seem to be able to desynth stuff from them so do I need to get all the other DoH jobs up to 30 before I can desynth their stuff too?

[robust crow]

is there an emote that will let you lie down on a bed

without logging off

[mossy tartan]

As a healer, you really learn to keep an eye on everyone's health, not just the tank's. And over time you'll get the hang of immediately determining which dps needs fast healing while the tank regains control
@open coral been playing for 5 months now. And still that situation shouldn’t happen to any healer to be honest, awareness is key, learned it the hard way

[open coral]

That's the sort of situation where a quick Tetra or Bene comes in real handy

[halcyon glen]

Ideally weave Assize after a lily heal or regen or Dia but like if none of those are needed go ahead and clip Glare/Holy for it

[open coral]

"Shouldn't" isn't the same as "doesn't". Even after 5 years I still run into situations where I lose control of the party HP, and have to regain control after rezing the tank

[mossy tartan]

I guess that’s true, it felt very bad though

[leaden ginkgo]

Guys, I have one more question please - in this game can you learn all classes/sub-classes on a single character?

[halcyon glen]

Yes!

Not that we have subclasses

[open coral]

It always does, but you learn from it and try not to make the same mistakes the next time.

And you'll also learn that it is not always your fault when the tank suddenly dies.

It's usually their fault because they didn't defensive a tank buster

[halcyon glen]

but your class in FFXIV is determined exclusively by the weapon held in your main hand

and to a lesser extent the rock you are holding in your bottom right slot

[mossy tartan]

Was on ||suzaku|| normal mode, tank forgot to run away from the half-circle push back after phantom flurry so he got blasted off the platform

The other tank was DC’d unfortunately

[leaden ginkgo]

So no really point to have multiple characters then? (at least on the same server) Just have one an invest in it ?

[halcyon glen]

oh yikes

Nope!

[open coral]

Was on ||suzaku|| normal mode, tank forgot to run away from the half-circle push back after phantom flurry so he got blasted off the platform
@mossy tartan See, that wasn't your fault. That was the tank's fault. AND there should've been another healer there to support you.

[leaden ginkgo]

ah okay.. so it really boils to the race you like most as you will be stuck with that 😛 thanks @halcyon glen !

[halcyon glen]

Bingo. And we have no relevant racial bonuses, btw.

[open coral]

@leaden ginkgo Not even. You can use a Fantasia potion (you get a free one at the end of the ARR MSQ) to change your race and gender if you want.

[halcyon glen]

so don't let combat stats affect your race choice

you get one Fantasia for free at the end of ARR and the rest are $10 each on mog station

so like

don't use it to meme your friends by turning into a lalafell

[open coral]

Nothing in this game is truly permanent. You can change anything, either for in-game or irl currency.

[leaden ginkgo]

@open coral awesome info. thanks! 🙂 I only have the standard version now, so if I get invested and buy shadowbringers I can choose one of the new races then^^

[halcyon glen]

unless you, uhm want to play a lalafell

[humble epoch]

Where in the ffxiv play guide can i find fishing?

[halcyon glen]

in which case don't let me stop you

[leaden ginkgo]

anyone?

still need an answer

[open coral]

About desynth?

I think you need to have the specific DoH leveled to desynth that type of item.

[leaden ginkgo]

yeah

max or just a certain level?

[wraith jay]

Anyone know if I can recover my old settings from FFXIV? idk what happened but my settings and HUD layout got defaulted

it was fine yesterday

[open coral]

That I don't know for certain. @leaden ginkgo

[leaden ginkgo]

thanks anyways Excalibur

[agile laurel]

@robust crow did you get an answer? it's /doze

[open coral]

/doze won't lie you down on a bed

There's no command for that, afaik, and I have looked

[agile laurel]

uhhhm. yes. it does

[open coral]

The best you might be able to do could be /playdead

[vocal shell]

It does

lol

[open coral]

I've tried it on my futon in my apartment and it never did...

Does it just not work on futons?

[vocal shell]

It does

[agile laurel]

also has cposes

it doesn't work on the folded futon, of course

[open coral]

... I hate this game sometimes. Now I'm going to spend an hour or three this afternoon trying to figure out why /doze doesn't make me lie down on my futon, but it seems to work for other people -.-

[agile laurel]

It even responds properly if you've floated an item on top of a bed, it puts you at the proper level instead of glitching

[open coral]

Hmm

This is going to drive me crazy now

RIP me

[agile laurel]

Admittedly it only works in private areas, but by the sounds of your situation that isn't your problem

[leaden ginkgo]

@leaden ginkgo don't worry I hate it too sometimes

there are moments where I want to pull my hair out as a new person because everyone in game is laughing at me because I missed some little piece of info

and they refuse to help me at all

When they update the game where the free trial max level is brought up to 60, will they still lock free trial players from friending or inviting other free trial players to their party?

[open coral]

Yes

[vocal shell]

All the free trial limitations will still be there

[agile laurel]

social restrictions are, at least as we know, staying unchanged

[leaden ginkgo]

My friend and I started the free trial and want to play together will there be any way to play with them?

[agile laurel]

get someone else to invite you both to a party, pass leader, and leave

clunky but beside just y'know, going around together

[leaden ginkgo]

Cool thanks

[open coral]

That option only goes so far though since there are a lot of solo instances early in the game and you'll have to disband party every time

And then have to go through the whole process again to re-group

[civic birch]

Hey

so i just picked up a new class and i was wondering if anyone new any quick ways to lvl up to 30

rn im level 23

[open coral]

What role?

[civic birch]

arc

[open coral]

Palace of the Dead

[faint flare]

Dungeons/palace of the dead

[civic birch]

ive tried but the que is sooo long

my FC told me potd isnt worth doing

[open coral]

Queue for floor 51-60 if you can

[civic birch]

ah i havent gotten that far

[open coral]

Otherwise, specific queue your highest level dungeon available

[civic birch]

im on floor 41-50

[open coral]

Yeah, that's the problem. Everyone queues either 1-10 or 51-60

Unless they're doing it solo

So the queues for interim floors are super long

[civic birch]

makes sense

how about things i can do while i wait in que?

ive been doing my hunting log

[open coral]

FATEs

[civic birch]

but do FATEs really give much exp as everyone else says?

[edgy gate]

u can fish/mine/farm

[open coral]

FATEs are good xp for lower levels

Not so much at higher ones

[civic birch]

i wanted to lvl arc

ah makes sense

thanks

[edgy gate]

if ur in ShB content, doing 70+ fates gives gemstones

[simple shore]

FATEs are pretty good for DPS jobs because what else are you going to do while you're in queue

[open coral]

FATEs are also a good way to level your chocobo companion

[civic birch]

yeah levequests and guildhest suck for battle jobs

;-;

they're only good for crafters and gatherers

[simple shore]

Those stop existing later

for battle jobs

[edgy gate]

i use leves to skyrocket my friends to lvl 15

[civic birch]

ah

[simple shore]

Its a 1.0/2.0 relic that hasnt been fully removed

[open coral]

Leves are a good way to get DoW/DoM to 15/16 so you can start queueing dungeons.

[amber ingot]

If someones gets trial version after 11th of august and purchase shadowbringers, will he has access to stormblood and if not how will he progress after HW?

[remote lintel]

yes

Shadow ringers includes all dlc

shadowbringers

[edgy gate]

if u buy shadowbringers, u get all the expansions

[whole wasp]

latest DLC always have all pervious dlc for FFXIV

[amber ingot]

So whats the point of someome getting the "complete edition"?

[remote lintel]

if they want to buy everything

[edgy gate]

complete gives base ARR

[tidal yarrow]

pots = positionals?

[remote lintel]

no

[whole wasp]

complete is base + exp
starter is just base

[remote lintel]

pots is potions

[open coral]

You have to purchase the non-trial version of the base game in order to play the full game.

[edgy gate]

pots as in potions most likely

[tidal yarrow]

oh lol

[open coral]

So getting the trial version doesn't count as having the base game

[remote lintel]

^

[edgy gate]

even though the trial gives HW access for free now

[remote lintel]

if you play the trial and finish the base game you still have to buy the base game

[simple shore]

It gives HW for free on the 11th. Not now. Just to clarify.

[whole wasp]

pots = potion
pot = potency

[amber ingot]

So if a friend of mine takes the trial he will either have to get ARR + Shadowbringers or complete, and he cant get shadowbringers as long as he is still on trial, right?

[open coral]

Correct

[remote lintel]

yep

you can buy the base game and dlc separately or together int he complete edition

[open coral]

And it's more efficient from a download standpoint to buy the Complete Edition

Since that just rolls everything into a single download instead of splitting it up

[remote lintel]

I don't think you would download 2 times

the trial already downloads the base game

[open coral]

Pretty sure the trial version is a different version of the game

So you'd need to redownload the "full" version.

[edgy gate]

imagine if they expanded the trial during early stages quarantine. the game's popularity wouldve exploded

[open coral]

Not positive though since I never played the trial

[remote lintel]

my friend said he didn't have to download anything extra after buying the base game

[raven sage]

Only the launchers are different

[open coral]

Ah okay

[simple shore]

Expanding the trial had to happen concurrent with ARR overhaul, imo. They're linked objectives from SE's standpoint.

[edgy gate]

true

[simple shore]

ShB's extremely positive reviews have likely been generating alot of interest in the game, but then people play the Trial and alot quit because of the state of ARR, it just isnt for everyone. So they expand to HW which is pretty universally regarded as good, and also make ARR better.

So that people who try are more likely to be retained

Just expanding to HW and leaving ARR as is likely wouldnt have any impact

[remote lintel]

yeah probably wouldn't do good to just lock people to the boring part of the story

[edgy gate]

its a way huger net though if u expanded during quarantine, when ppl got nothing to do but grind anyway

[simple shore]

HW is where you create investment in the story

[edgy gate]

ppl tolerate the stupidest stuff when bored and jobless

[ornate gale]

If my friend starts the trial now, will the expansion still apply to him when it comes around?

[remote lintel]

it's likely ben

if he stays in trial

[median locust]

Yes as long as they don't buy the game before then

[ornate gale]

Ok

Cus I dont wanna tell him oh yeah you gotta restart btw cus new trial expansion

[remote lintel]

I don't think they would do that

[ornate gale]

Well I for one hope lol

[median locust]

You'll still get access to Heavensward even if you get Starter Edition before then but you'll also need to pay a sub lol

[remote lintel]

what ilvl should a lvl 44 person have

[simple shore]

idk, 40-ish?

[faint flare]

About 40-45ish

Give or take

[twilit arch]

entirely possible to be lower though

due to low ilvl accessories, but below 50 they're not really important

[faint flare]

Yeah, give or take some

[median locust]

If you need to know if you can get better gear, GarlandTools covers that, just click this

It'll tell you the best item you can get at X level for each slot

and you can toggle on/off crafter or GC gear

[remote lintel]

i see

ty

[unborn fox]

whats the point of grand companies and how early should i think about them?

[tidal yarrow]

is this some kind of script or you get this interface on this dummy "duty"

[median locust]

It's an overlay for ACT, an external DPS meter

[remote lintel]

thats a 3rd party program

[tidal yarrow]

ugh

will they ever introduce it in game?

[little swift]

no

[median locust]

Nope

[remote lintel]

never

[sturdy mason]

I heard that Crystal has a shortage of Ultimate statics and as a result people transfer to different DCs to get ultimate clears/runs. Is this true or BS? I know it's wrong for savage runs, but not sure about ultimates

[tidal yarrow]

that's dumb

[whole wasp]

grand companies are the militaries of the 3 starter city-states. you are forced to join one of them as part of the
they are functionally identical except for the color/style of their uniforms.@unborn fox

[remote lintel]

@sturdy mason crystal in general has a smaller raiding population

[median locust]

Crystal undeniably has the least Ultimate clears of any datacenter

[remote lintel]

and no yuuko

if they introduce it in game people will discriminate

and harass others

[sturdy mason]

@median locust where do you source your data from?

[little swift]

fflogs has a clear %

[median locust]

Someone posted the stats to reddit a while ago, and yeah, fflogs

[sturdy mason]

Ah gotcha

And we're certain that's not just a "margin of error" of something like, people just not using ACT as much on Crystal as opposed to less clears?

[clever cave]

Doesnt mean you CANT raid... just need some luck and good timing

[remote lintel]

@unborn fox also you can buy things from them such as gear, materials, have your own squadron of npcs, etc. but you need to rank up in your GC

[little swift]

obviously people not using ACT will skew the results

but its undeniable that crystal has the fewest clear uploads

[median locust]

https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/e8nexi/new_luckybancho_census_9th_december_2019_tea/fadeogm/
This is from December so not long after TEA came out but yeah, you can see the difference

[unborn fox]

i see. so it doesnt affect pvp?

[remote lintel]

nope

[tidal yarrow]

sad that it won't be implemented only cause of a super small % of people

[remote lintel]

just that the pvp unlock is in your GC

but thats it

it's not super small yuuko

to clear savage content you need to be doing optimal damage as your class

so people will be able to clearly see who isn't doing the best damage and won't accept them

[little swift]

the percentage of people clearing savage floors is not the majority of the population anyways

most people won't even touch extremes when they're on content

[tidal yarrow]

introduce a report button and make it work

[median locust]

There is one and it works

[tidal yarrow]

it just sounds a dumb excuse to me :x

[remote lintel]

preventing harassment isnt dumb

[median locust]

System -> Support Desk

can report from there

[little swift]

i think you're not quite grasping how the culture of this community works

the devs want to promote a more inclusive community

[remote lintel]

and you can't force people to play with others by reporting them if they don't

[little swift]

you can end up marginalizing a more "casual" playerbase simply by having the dps meter available

[median locust]

They don't want people getting their feelings hurt by people calling them out on DPS in dungeons or raids

[little swift]

because players are now open to critique that they didn't want

[median locust]

It would make "worse" players quit which is bad for business

[little swift]

but taht's neither here nor there

something we can discuss

but not here

[remote lintel]

having dps meters "allowed" but you can't talk about it to other people is fine right now

[tidal yarrow]

tell that to console players

[remote lintel]

have someone else check your dps

someone in your FC probably

[unborn fox]

is there transmogging in this game? i kinda like the black mage playstyle but hate the witch style that most of black mage gear seems to have

[tidal yarrow]

lol how does it seem a reasonable solution

[remote lintel]

!faq glamour

[zinc orbit]

Glamour FAQ

'What is Glamour and how do I unlock it?'

Glamour is the process of changing an equipment's look into a different item with the use of Glamour Prisms. You can unlock the ability to glamour by doing the level 15 quests 'If I Had a Glamour' in Vesper Bay, West Thanalan. Although not required, you can unlock the ability to dye gear with the nearby quest 'Color Your World'. You can get the Orange Juice needed by talking to the nearby Merchant & Mender. Items used for glamouring are not lost upon use.

'How do I glamour? Where do I get more Prisms?'

Glamouring is done by right-clicking (Square or X on controllers) on the equipment you want to glamour and choosing the option 'Cast Glamour'. After clicking this you choose the item you want the appearance on the right half of the menu that opened up. You can get more Glamour Prisms by either crafting them after completing the quest 'Absolutely Glamourous', buying them from your Grand Company Quartermaster, or buying them from the marketboard.

@unborn fox

[tidal yarrow]

I don't grab friends 24/7

[remote lintel]

this is it

[whole wasp]

there is transmogging but you cannot cross-class transmog

[robust crow]

is that fenrir bike from mog station a two-seater?

[remote lintel]

no renaulte

[little swift]

no

[robust crow]

i didn't think so

[remote lintel]

if it's 2 seater it will clearly state

[median locust]

If you want a video guide on glamour/transmogging, I really like this one
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QQxIuKtfrAk

[little swift]

1 person but has the benefit of being cross account

and also 1 star mount speed by default

[unborn fox]

ok thanks, so is there cool non-witch-style gear for black mages or is most of it gonna be witch-style?

[remote lintel]

can ask in #glamour-discussion

[little swift]

caster gear isn't all robes

[median locust]

Most will but definitely not all

[robust crow]

1 star mount speed...so basically it'll move faster for players new to a zone then

i guess that's pretty nice

[little swift]

a little, until flying is unlocked

[remote lintel]

and yeah there's a bunch of different armor styles

[little swift]

basically only useful at the start of expansions

[slate oak]

who do i go to for dragoon's job quest at 52? alberic?

[remote lintel]

if you click it it should say

[twilit arch]

yes, but you won't be able to get the 50-60 job quests until you've gotten to the heavensward main scenario quests

so if you're still working on the seventh astral era quests, you'll just need to keep trucking with those

[slate oak]

how do i click on it for it to say @remote lintel

[remote lintel]

it will appear underneath your msq tracker bar thing

[slate oak]

hmm it isnt maybe cause what kael said

kk thanks

[lofty pulsar]

where do I start a second set of anima quests?

[twilit arch]

there's prelim patch notes on the friday before patch

[sturdy mason]

What is the difference between a Preferred and Standard world on each data center?

[twilit arch]

preferred worlds have the road to 70 bonus

standard are just normal worlds

[sturdy mason]

Is this their way of trying to load balance servers through transfers/new accounts?

[twilit arch]

yeah

[sturdy mason]

Gotcha, thank you

[fossil forum]

yo can anyone help me and a bunch of friends get into a party as we're trial users? we're in phoenix/light

[sturdy mason]

Although I'm confused about this @twilit arch ; It's preferred, but also congested? I can't see why they'd disable character creation on a preferred server (You'd think it would be standard to redirect people away from it)

[remote lintel]

because there's too manyy people online

you can't stuff more people into an already full world

[light lintel]

thanks! ^^

[twilit arch]

no, congested specifically means that the world cannot have new characters created on it nor can it receive transfers

[sturdy mason]

World being full in real time is different than having accounts located there, I assumed they were looking at the latter? I feel like the number of people logged in at any given time will always be much less than the accounts registered on that world

[twilit arch]

siren is simply temporarily character creation locked which will lift when enough people are logged off

also world status changes with maintenances/patches

[remote lintel]

they disabled character creation temporarily

it has nothing to do with how many accounts are located there

[twilit arch]

so given that we haven't had a patch for like several months, a lot of the preferred worlds are pretty livelier than usual

[sturdy mason]

I see, makes sense

[twilit arch]

5.3 is very likely going to see a change in world status

[tidal yarrow]

can someone tell me how meditation on sam works?

not the spell

[median locust]

You get a stack of Meditation and 10 Kenki every few seconds while it's active

If you move at all or turn, it stops

[tidal yarrow]

no I didn't mean the spell ability

like, the stacks of meditation that you can get

how do you get them?

[median locust]

Are you 80?

[tidal yarrow]

76

[remote lintel]

meditation is lvl 80

[median locust]

They're spent on a lv80 ability

[remote lintel]

the stacks

[median locust]

so you can't get them before

[tidal yarrow]

ahh oki ty

[whole wasp]

You get to use a special move every 3 stack of meditation. You get stacks from using meditation (not recommended) or 1 per iaijutsus(higabanana,midare, etc)

So effectively you press one extra oGCD every higanbanana+2 midares.

@tidal yarrow i hope that helps

[tidal yarrow]

thank you so much

[latent prism]

what does "float" mean in a raid

[tidal yarrow]

on a scenario with limited kenki gauge should I focus more on using kaiten into setsugekka or should I spend kenki on shinten(s) more

[whole wasp]

No designated mechanic to cover. Do whatever and fill it as needed/ people die

@tidal yarrow kaiten midare and higabanana is first priority

[faint flare]

You also get mediation from Tsumbae skills fyi

So bare that in mind as well

[agile cliff]

how often is shadowbringers on sale?

[whole wasp]

Oh right. Tsubame gaeshi also counts as a iaijutsu. >.<

[tidal yarrow]

@tidal yarrow kaiten midare and higabanana is first priority
okay thx

[remote lintel]

it was on sale a while ago

on steam

[faint flare]

Its on sale again i believe

As a celebration of hitting 3mil account

Or something

[agile cliff]

oh cool

[faint flare]

Saw something on reddit about it

Usually doesn't go on sale tooooo often but its a special occasion

[agile cliff]

thanks

[remote lintel]

on steam it doesnt go on sale often

[tidal yarrow]

is there any usage of Kaeshi: Higanbana

I can't think any

[faint flare]

No

[tidal yarrow]

okay

[faint flare]

Not even multi dotting cause its just 1 sen

Which you can easily get back

With the 2 step combo

[whole wasp]

Not worth losing esentially a free kaitened midare for a higanbanana.

[ionic hazel]

as a dancer do you use Finishers (even if you have buffs for those already) after or before devilment

like standard > devilment?
or devilment > standard

[remote lintel]

devilment first

[ionic hazel]

ok so ive been doing it right

[twilit arch]

devilment should be after technical

The only time you'll do it before tech is during the opener, if other jobs need/want it early

[faint flare]

There's a few different openers floating around with various devilment timing

Depending when the partner wants devilment

Either after standard but before Techincal or after Techincal

[ionic hazel]

after technical? why so

wouldnt technical benefit from devilment

[faint flare]

To cover your floruishes and for your partners burst

As i said, it varies slightly depending when your partner wants it

Some jobs want it slightly earlier

While others slightly later

[ionic hazel]

well in a pug situation

where it doesnt matter

[twilit arch]

basically, you want devilment to fit during your entire burst

[whole wasp]

Because you want to buff all your feathers/sabre dances in your own burst window

[ionic hazel]

which one is better

[twilit arch]

which is why you use it after tech

[ionic hazel]

i see

cus tech consumes 4 gcds

[twilit arch]

Yes

[whole wasp]

In a technical window you can devilment buff a standard finish and all your GCDs/feathers

[ionic hazel]

and pref id have feathers ready

[twilit arch]

yes, you should always have feathers ready for your burst

[ionic hazel]

what aboue saber

i use it only at 80

[faint flare]

You generally hover around 50 ish and use it at 80 or so

So you'll get at least 1 saber

[whole wasp]

Usually hover about 80. You can go to 100 if you know you are gonna tech like immediately.

[faint flare]

More depending on gains

[ionic hazel]

alright thanks

Hi guys. I'm new to the life of ff14. I'm coming from pwi. Please dont insult me. Im just looking for some similiarities

Idk what class I'd want to make. Which is best for what and so on

[whole wasp]

All classes are viable.

[remote lintel]

make whatever looks cool

[wise acorn]

Insult you? Thats what the in game novice chat is for :

[whole wasp]

Pick the class you think is the coolest/cutest and go from there.

[median locust]

No best class, look at the first pin if you don't know what classes there are

[fading pumice]

Lol

[hexed flower]

you looking to tank, deal some damage, or heal

[lyric warren]

is there anything note worthy like mounts/minions at the vendors now at rank8? https://i.imgur.com/oMGZdxQ.png

[fading pumice]

I wanna deal dmg and also tank

[wise acorn]

WAR

[median locust]

New minions at each tribe iirc

[remote lintel]

if you want to tank then be a tank

[fading pumice]

Do I have the option to do both in the same class?

[remote lintel]

not at the same time

but you can have a dps class and a tank class

[daring turret]

You can do all jobs tho in the same char

[fading pumice]

Idk if you guys are familiar with pwi

[faint flare]

Everyone is a dps at the end of the day

[daring turret]

Whenever you feel like dealing damage just change class by changing weapon

[faint flare]

Everyone is expected to do damage

[hexed flower]

just some have bigger numbers than others

[fading pumice]

But I was a blade master main. Could tank aswell as deal massive aoe dmg via crita

[remote lintel]

tanks dont deal massive damage

that's dps job

[faint flare]

Except warrior with their direct crits

[daring turret]

This is the holy trinity system

[faint flare]

In burst

[daring turret]

1 tank 1 healer 2 dps

[whole wasp]

The trinity is more strict here but all classes do damage.

[hexed flower]

or GNB in their no mercy phase

[fading pumice]

Soo if I wanna do massive aoe dmg what do I choose?

[faint flare]

Warrior is probably the best fit for them and be closest to that blade master thing

[fading pumice]

Palidin?

[remote lintel]

white mage

lmao

[whole wasp]

Only tanks can tank. Only healer can heal but all classes should do damage but not as high as DPS.

[daring turret]

^

[faint flare]

I say warrior

Chaotic cyclone is 👌

[fading pumice]

How long is free trial?

[median locust]

Classes are all geared towards both single target and AoE damage so there isn't like, an AoE specialist or whatever

[hexed flower]

pick marauder as your starting class

[remote lintel]

also you only use aoe damage when there are multiple enemies

[faint flare]

35 for now

[daring turret]

Till you get bored

[whole wasp]

Honestly watch a video on movesets and pick.

[faint flare]

Goes to 60 on the 11th

[whole wasp]

No time limit. Just level limit.

[hexed flower]

in 2 or 3 weeks its 60

[fading pumice]

Would anyone like to help me get my grips in game possibly?

[daring turret]

+heavensward expansion

Theres a system in game for that i think

[fading pumice]

I think 1 thing I dont like is no open world pvp

[remote lintel]

open world pvp would destroy everything

[median locust]

If you have any questions you can ask here, and my biggest tips are 1. Do your class quests, 2. Do the main story, it unlocks 99% of the game, 3. Read the active help popups

[fading pumice]

I've seen it make a game strive in my experience

[daring turret]

Wait for ashes of creation

[remote lintel]

well the skills arent balanced for pvp except pvp skills

[median locust]

And yeah PvP is far from the focus here. If you're coming for PvP, this isn't the game

[remote lintel]

there are pve and pvp skills

[faint flare]

People would heavily grief story locations

[daring turret]

For now you can pve here till you get bored

[hexed flower]

imagine DRG just randomly jump you

[kind burrow]

what is the name of "the maker's ruin" theme remake for O12?

[median locust]

From the Heavens iirc

[remote lintel]

there are large scale pvp modes

[kind burrow]

its not, i'v checked multiple times

[median locust]

first phase or second?

[kind burrow]

first phase

[fading pumice]

Yeah it's like a multiplayer right?@remote lintel

[remote lintel]

it's 72 man pvp

[kind burrow]

on ultima weapon

[median locust]

....O12 or Ultima weapon, which is it

[fading pumice]

Is the dl long?

[remote lintel]

depends on your internet

[kind burrow]

the remake of ultima weapon phase 1 is on O12 and everyone keeps telling me its from the heavens but its much different than phase 1 ultima, which sounds a lot more like it

[daring turret]

Not to sound like a downer, but if you are more of a pvp guy, you should try another mmo

[median locust]

So yes first phase

Heartless

[fading pumice]

Well I mean. If mobs fights are good enough

Itll change my mind

[remote lintel]

they are

[daring turret]

They are

[remote lintel]

this is more like a traditional mmo

[kind burrow]

oh thanks god, whats the 2nd one?

[median locust]

From the Heavens

[fading pumice]

Thats y I pvpd in pwi

Cuz mob fights were all the same

[kind burrow]

From the heavens is its original

[remote lintel]

this isn't one of those bad mmos

[fading pumice]

Pull the entire cave. Aoe once all dead. Kill boss

[remote lintel]

bosses actually have mechanics

[median locust]

It's original but it does borrow leitmotifs from the rest of the game

[fading pumice]

I rememeber actually soloing every cave itbwas that easy

[orchid shard]

Good luck pulling the entire room

[daring turret]

Lol

[fading pumice]

Well.

In my old game

[faint flare]

Wall to wall pulls are ez

Past 50

[orchid shard]

Not if he's new

[warm rover]

Could use some help on Heretic among us quest

[faint flare]

Just use cooldowns

[fading pumice]

I could either use immune and pull ir jus stealth and run to the boss

[remote lintel]

you cant do that

again this isnt a bad mmo

[orchid shard]

Immunes (╯°□°）╯︵ ┻━┻

[kind burrow]

is there no specific name to the 2nd phase?

[remote lintel]

you have to actually do things

[fading pumice]

Yeah see this sounds more indepth

[median locust]

@kind burrow I told you, From the Heavens

[kind burrow]

no source to get it from? like spotify?

[orchid shard]

iceblocks

[kind burrow]

thats the original version @median locust

[fading pumice]

Other game was very pvp based cause pve was soo bad LOL

[median locust]

It's not on Spotify but it's on the Shadowbringers OST

No it isn't

[kind burrow]

every time i search it up i get the ARR one

[median locust]

Omega raid spoilers https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jYDj-L5Aeyk

This one right?

[orchid shard]

I mean, you could Superbolide.

It won't work for you.

[faint flare]

Hallowed

But long ass cooldowns

[orchid shard]

360s cd

[kind burrow]

yes, you are saying its on the ShB OST?

[median locust]

Yes, it is

[orchid shard]

one trash pull. 10 minutes later

next trash pull

[kind burrow]

is there a place to find it? or did they not release it yet?

[median locust]

Multiple places

Just not on Spotify

[kind burrow]

oof T-T everything else is on there...oh well, thanks, could you link me one please

[median locust]

https://store.na.square-enix-games.com/en_US/product/570584/shadowbringers-final-fantasy-xiv-original-soundtrack-blu-ray

[orchid shard]

OST... Blu-ray?

[median locust]

All music from 4.4, 4.5 and 5.0 is on it

[orchid shard]

https://giphy.com/gifs/dog-shocked-NMufrvxO8fC3C

[kind burrow]

thank you, i appreciate the help.

[median locust]

It includes some videos that go with the music

and a minion

[orchid shard]

Ah video

ok

[median locust]

you can also just buy the CD for cheaper without the minion

https://www.amazon.com/SHADOWBRINGERS-FINAL-FANTASY-Original-Soundtrack/dp/B07XJ7LS7B

[warm rover]

Heretic amongs us is that a solo one or?

[halcyon glen]

yeah that's a solo instance

[warm rover]

Im lvl 40 only, maybe skip that one for now?

[faint flare]

You cant if its story

If you cany do it then select thr Very easy option

And also go upgrade your gear

[warm rover]

It says lvl 44

[halcyon glen]

That's the sync level

The quest is level 40

[faint flare]

That is what it syncs to

If you're too high

[halcyon glen]

so like if you were level 50 by then

it'd temporarily bring ya down to 44

to avoid overlevelling the quest by tooo much

Admittedly it is a relatively hard instance - especially as a DPS

[orchid shard]

Er

[halcyon glen]

But you can always do it on Very Easy

[orchid shard]

Is it me, or can you not select the UK in the SQENIX store

for shipping

[halcyon glen]

are you on the eu squeenix store?

[orchid shard]

Ya

[halcyon glen]

It'd be under U, i assume

[median locust]

Are you on the EU store?

and yeah, United Kingdom

[orchid shard]

Look at the URL, and look at the second screenshot

it doesn't go past S

[halcyon grail]

Are DPS classes able to play solo decently well?

[faint flare]

Yea

[halcyon glen]

Aye

[faint flare]

You can do the story solo on every job

[halcyon grail]

I've been enjoying my Gladiator, I'm just not sure I'd be able to perform great in a party environment.

...Also I want to punch things.

A lot.

[halcyon glen]

then go forth

and punch

[median locust]

This game makes it very easy to try out different things

[faint flare]

As a tank you just put stance on, hit things and use defensive cooldowns

[median locust]

Take advantage of it :p

[strong saddle]

What are dungeons with npcs for?

[faint flare]

Levelling

[median locust]

It adds some story interactions/dialogue between characters

[faint flare]

And trusts add character building
