Just use Recitation lmao

faint flare
#

On how bahamut should play out

austere spruce
#

Are races class locked or can one race be all classes?

remote lintel
#

all classes

steep heron
#

recitation on summoner

faint flare
#

All race be all

steep heron
#

All races can be all classes

faint flare
#

This aint a F2P mmo

#

No genderlock shit here

austere spruce
#

Nice. Haven't seen an mmo where a race could be all

remote lintel
#

also crunchin if you stay on the free tiral til august 11 theyre expanding the free trial to encompass the entire base game and first expansion

crimson wind
#

recitation on summoner
@steep heron would be epic.

#

Offensive Recitation

steep heron
#

well technically 2 races are genderlocked.
Hrothgar are only male and Viera are only Female

austere spruce

Unless its heavensward time

Oh

faint flare

It was just damage

raw solstice

SMN doesn't gain any buttons from 70-80 right?

No, everything is a trait or a button that turns into another

Do I need 2 bracelets for the marriage? I equipped my bracelet but it says my partner needs one as well. Do I get another platinum bracelet for him?

remote lintel
#

he needs to buy it

#

himself

#

maybe you can gift it? i havent tried

#

yeah you can gift

mossy tartan
#

Will it work if he got the free one while I use my platinum one?

remote lintel
#

no

#

your marriage will be downgraded to free

mossy tartan
#

oof

#

If anyone wants to party up on cacutar server

#

I'm still very new

versed bridge
#

If I augment my artifact gear (I want a dyable version for glams) can I still put it in the armoire?

austere spruce
#

Easily one of the best hair customizes in any mmo I've ever seen

obsidian patio
#

@versed bridge unfortunately no

versed bridge
#

Rip. Think it's worth doing then?

obsidian patio
#

Of course, just use the glamour dresser to store the items

versed bridge
#

I gotta pull em out of my armoire to augment them sigh* oh well, do it later

austere spruce
#

Does adamantoise usually have a waiting queue?

plush hound
#

During peak hours it's not uncommon for every server to have a queue.

remote lintel
#

the queue is like 10 seconds

plush hound
#

Yeah, unless the count is in the hundreds (which usually means a mass boot) you won't be waiting long.

austere spruce
#

Ah OK. I was expecting wow timers lol like 20+ mins sometimes

dire cipher
#

I keep getting an error on installation. Unable to download patch files. [30413][25008][20495]

#

And after this error I get

obsidian patio
#

Check and see if Internet Explorer needs to be updated, as that launcher uses that to download the patches.

austere spruce
#

The game doesn't have like a random name generator?

simple shore
#

It does

#

The dice next to the name fields, iirc

austere spruce
#

Ah I see it. Thank you very much :)

#

Just want a good name that fits in the world you know :)

dire cipher
#

I fixed the second problem, it's cause I was using a vpn

austere spruce
#

Wow miqo'te names are hard to pronounce xD

dire cipher
#

How do I check if internet explorer needs updates?

#

Or even where do I update it

austere spruce
#

:O oh no I can't make a character on adamantoise it says

obsidian patio
austere spruce
#

Well darn. Guess I'll do a different server

simple shore
#

@austere spruce wait awhile

#

The server isnt "full of characters and nobody can make one". Its a bit deceiving in that way.

#

The inability to create character is based on how many people are currently logged in, not on how many people have characters

#

So if you want to get on Adamantoise for that sweet sweet Preferred bonus, wait a few hours until the NA people start going to bed.

austere spruce
#

Meh already chose the legacy server

primal steeple
#

Which tank class becomes interesting to play earliest? My paladin is currently lvl 40 and its incredibly boring atm. It feels like I'm just pressing 1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3 with some buffs layered in for the majority of the time. And it's honestly incredibly miserable to do all these main story quests like this, though I'm not sure if that's a class issue or a quest issue. I'm completely willing to level a new class if it makes the questing/early game experience better

austere spruce
#

The xp bonus would be nice but not concerned about it

simple shore
#

Up to you, but the xp bonus is ridiculously good

marble stone
#

what are FATE ?

plush hound
#

@primal steeple Unfortunately you're not going to get much different regardless of which tank when outside of dungeon/trial/raid runs. It's in that stuff when you start seeing the really fun stuff.

warped nest
#

Random happenings on the open map

lime geode
#

@primal steeple are you set on Tanks? If not, I find healer to be quite rewarding as there's not a rotation. It's preparation and reaction.

warped nest
#

They are like mini battles/quests you can do

#

It is hard to gauge what is fun and boring for another person

marble stone
#

i really wish someone on here was in my server

#

and had a mic

austere spruce
#

If I wanna try to make one on adamantoise in a few hrs I can right?

warped nest
#

If it is not busy, yeah

lime geode
#

Yeah that's true Lchronos - I'd say try jobs till you find one that's interesting, but I'm sure there are a million other things to do in the game.

warped nest
#

It is not hard to level another job to feel it out

austere spruce
#

OK np then I'll just try to make it when it's not busy maybe at 2 a. M or somthin

primal steeple
#

I guess I'll just power through with paladin then if the experience is more or less the same until later in the game

warped nest
#

We can, however, break down each jobs and how they play at high level and see if it is something you want to go for

primal steeple
#

Do the quests get less tedious?

warped nest
#

Paladin do get to cast offensive magic later at lvl 60+

#

At lvl 80, Paladin damage is broken down to melee phase (buff with Fight or Flight), magic phase (buff with Requiescat), and a filler melee phase (waiting for Fight or Flight to be ready)

#

What qualifies as tedious?

#

Dialog boxes and helping villagers?

primal steeple
#

Idk i feel like I'm playing unpaid intern simulator in between beating up primals lol

warped nest
#

At low level, you are a nobody

primal steeple
#

Bruh i got 4 of these crystal thingies I should be a somebody by now

remote lintel
#

not yet

warped nest
#

Later you will promote to a high paying intern doing errands so local villagers will trust you

remote lintel
#

if you did the sidequests in your starting city you would feel like a somebody

wanton shadow
#

is bard able to play music in game through a midi controller?

ornate fable
#

@primal steeple You won’t start to feel like your Job is coming full circle until you get to level 60, and between 70-80 is when they’ll start to feel complex

primal steeple
#

I did a couple sidequests but many of them seem like they give really meh rewards so I've been putting them off for now

remote lintel
#

because theyre just world building stuff

ornate fable
#

@wanton shadow Yes, I learned how through some youtube videos

#

And a midi translator to keypress

plush hound
#

Yeah, there's some pretty impressive performances on youtube.

wanton shadow
#

is it like...functional? can I play a full song with my piano?

#

ok cool because I've been learning piano over quarantine

#

I'm on a preferred server so I'm gonna level an archer too 🙂

primal steeple
#

@warped nest can you give me a late game rundown of warriors and dark knights? Your paladin rundown was very informative

warped nest
#

Gladly

ornate fable
#

@wanton shadow There are only 37 keys ingame

wanton shadow
#

can I shift the octave? 🙂

ornate fable
#

So a mini-sized keyboard works really well, but a regular sized key keyboard will only play the center 37 keys

wanton shadow
#

hmm maybe it'll be good enough

#

probably better for bands to play together I imagine

ornate fable
#

You have to also know that you can only play a single note at a time, but with enough practice you can make chords sound as if they are being played together

wanton shadow
#

oof that sucks damn

#

nevermind then

#

that's so weird it doesnt support midi properly

turbid crystal
#

so i am going through the free trial and doing the first 3 dungeons using the Duty Finder. If anything, I'm a bit more confused, so after certain key fights, there's a loot box that people can pick and roll (need, greed, pass).

What confused me is how fast my party member click on that box. It's like the moment the boss dies, someone click on that box, I see the message, but it takes me like a minute to find the treasure box to click on it

remote lintel
#

theyre fast

#

or they were waiting for it to spawn

turbid crystal
#

but they "look" likes beginner too, their ID has the green leaf icon that denotes new players

ornate fable
#

Only one person has to open it for everyone, so you don’t actually have to click on it as well

warped nest
#

Warrior

Warrior has a key cooldown, inner release (it start out as Berserk, turns into Inner Release later.) Berserk buff your crit rate and stuff, while Inner Release buff crit rate and make any action that cost Beast Gauge cost nothing, this allows you to spam some seriously powerful damage. Beast gauge are generated from your combo, and an Ability Infuriate can generate Beast Gauge too.

So the gameplay loop is to attack, and use beast gauge to do Fell Cleave or Decimate, then use Inner Release every 90 second to do a lot of Fell Cleave or Decimate.

At higher level, using Infuriate will gain Beast Gauge and temporarily buff your next Fell Cleave and Decimate.

austere spruce
#

How do I turn off my name showing for myself?

warped nest
#

@primal steeple read up for warrior, sorry, I can't make it as clear cut as Paladin. Tldr: attack, get gauge, spend gauge for pow pow. Every 90s, use inner release to pow pow for free. Infuriate give gauge and make pow pow stronger.

turbid crystal
#

i have another question, let's say i'm at higher level and learn all these cool spells, if I do lower level contents, i get level synced to the lower levels, but do I get to use those cool spells too?

remote lintel
#

@austere spruce character config > display name settings

obsidian patio
#

no

ornate fable
#

You do not. Level sync makes those spells unavailable

turbid crystal
#

ah, i see

ebon trench
#

Is the free one time password app worth installing and using? It has 2.7 star reviews

remote lintel
#

i wouldnt

ebon trench
#

I mean as long as I don't click dodgy links and I can't get key logged or anything like that right?

leaden ginkgo
#

I'm sitting at 361 iLvl on my fisher. Anyone know what melds I should be using? And should I focus on getting the relic rod?

#

Hello, I have a question about crafting

austere spruce
#

Nice tyvm

remote lintel
#

well people have went on hiatus in the game and came back and can't remember their one time password and get screwed

ornate fable
#

Well one benefit from it is that you get to choose an aetheryte to teleport to for free as much as you want, along with account security @ebon trench

ebon trench
#

@ornate fable Do you use the IOS app?

ornate fable
#

Yes

primal steeple
#

@warped nest I think that's a good description. If I'm understanding correctly, every once in a while I can buff myself and just smash things really hard for a while?

ebon trench
#

@ornate fable no issues for you?

ornate fable
#

Reviews for an authenticator.. who does that..?

ebon trench
#

idk lol

ornate fable
#

Yes it does what it needs to

ebon trench
#

@ornate fable alright ty

leaden ginkgo
#

I mean as long as I don't click dodgy links and I can't get key logged or anything like that right?
@ebon trench Not necessarily. Things can happen, even on your phone. I recommend the authenticator 100%. Don't skimp on account security my dude.

ebon trench
#

@leaden ginkgo yeah better safe than sorry, ty

remote lintel
#

just don't ever forget your one time password or youre going to have a bad time trying to recover your account

leaden ginkgo
#

Keep it on your phone, remove it only if you're switching phones and you're fine.

ebon trench
#

it just gives you a thing to enter everytime right?

leaden ginkgo
#

Yes

ebon trench
#

so disable it if I get a new phone and I'm good

warped nest
#

@primal steeple Dark Knight

Dark Knight plays with MP. You use MP to attack, maintain attack buff (by doing one of two attacks), and to use your signature defensive skill, The Blackest Night.

The Blackest Night block damage, and if it breaks from blocking enough damage, it makes your next "attack buff" attack free.

You have a skill that massively increase your MP regeneration and a skill that works like Warrior's Inner Release.

Your gameplay:

  • "warrior inner release" skill every 90s for big pow pow
  • make sure MP doesn't cap at maximum (MP regenerated are waste), use Blood Weapon every 60 to massively generate MP
  • spend MP for offense and defense
leaden ginkgo
#

SqEx is pretty good about removing it if you own the account and can verify ownership. I've never had an issue. I had 2 iPhones and a Samsung quit on me and they were able to remove it every time.

warped nest
#

Yes-ish on what you understand on warrior

ebon trench
#

good to know tyvm artemis

leaden ginkgo
#

I now have it on my Razer Phone 2 and I've never had any issues with it.

primal steeple
#

Oh man i really messed up starting paladin lol these two sound way more fun. Paladin sounds more like a long strict rotation than these two

warped nest
#

Another thing I didn't mention on warrior, everytime you use Fell Cleave or Decimate, Infuriate cooldown time is cut down. And when Infuriate can buff FC and Decimate, you don't want to do that inside a Inner Release window

#

You need to juggle around and make sure that your Infuriate timing is efficient and avoid lininig up inside Inner Release

languid stratus
#

Hello! im looking for a rarefate/hunt disc, anyone knows of an active one? or do we have channel for that purpose in this disc?

obsidian patio
warped nest
#

Gunbreaker (the last tank you can get, at lvl 60) is on strict rotation like Paladin. Gunbreaker combo give Ammo (you can have 2 ammo max), and every 30s you can spend 1 ammo to do a very damaging combo. Every 60s you get to buff you damage. Every 90s you can get 2 ammo for free

Personally, I found them all fun.

languid stratus
#

@obsidian patio Ty so much! o/

warped nest
#

Different strokes for different folks I guess.

ornate fable
#

It’s important to note that at level 80, they’re very similar. Endgame right now, all of the tanks possess very similar toolkits that make them all viable in high-end content, with none having a specific advantage over the other. Gameplay-wise, it is a matter of preference. Do you like tanking but enjoy hammering tons of abilities in high burst windows like a dps? Or do you like having extra utility and and completely mitigating boss attacks to negligible numbers?

primal steeple
#

I'm a big fan of the 'me have big weapon me smash' school of thought

warped nest
#

Paladin: 60s schedule.
Warrior: 90s schedule with an ability you want to move out of the way.
Dark Knight: 90s / 60s schedule and make sure your MP aren't capoing
Gunbreaker: 60s /30s schedule with 1 90s offensive ability

#

Dark Knight or Warrior then

primal steeple
#

Yeah it seems like those two are my style based on the description

halcyon rune
#

DK is also especially good vs magic damage.

remote lintel
#

dark knight is edgy and warrior is just angry

warped nest
#

Dark Knight have the coolest LB3

remote lintel
#

too bad youll never use it haha

quiet fossil
#

I'm a big fan of the 'me have big weapon me smash' school of thought
Then you want Warrior. Have giant axe to chop people with. Then use the blood of your enemies to heal

warped nest
#

You slash the sky and open up a rift and let dark dimensional power flow out

ornate fable
#

People say WAR is a good start, as its rotation has little weaving between globals, making it very accessible. Its downside is that between burst windows it can feel slow and lackluster

primal steeple
#

What does lb3 refer to?

warped nest
#

And use it to form magic shell

remote lintel
#

the 3rd limit break

warped nest
#

Limit Break lvl 3

#

Uses 3 bar of Limit Break Gauge

remote lintel
#

for tanks its basically useless exept for that 1 thing

halcyon rune
#

Some fights require it not to die

#

Very few tho

#

And some people use it to cheese a few mechanica

ornate fable
#

The opportunities a tank has to save their party from death with limit break are few, but it has its moments. Have it somewhere on your hotbars just in case.

simple shore
#

But not somewhere you frequent. Its definitely a "click in case of emergency" not "accidentally hit this keybind" thing.

warped nest
#

I put mine on the mount / tank stance section

simple shore
#

yeah same

#

I have a sidebar for shit like that

primal steeple
#

Thanks for the help. Hopefully the anticipation of smashing stuff can help get me through this painful main questline slog

remote lintel
#

you can just switch to warrior

halcyon rune
#

It's getting trimmed a bit in August

warped nest
#

Very easy to relevel a new job and use it as your story progression job

ornate fable
#

The armory bonus grants you an xp boost of 100% on combat jobs lower level than your highest

warped nest
#

More so for tank/healer

#

If your highest combat job is a lvl 21 whatev, then every other combat job is buffed

halcyon rune
#

TBH a tank lv3 at the right time is worth more than a Healer 3 after half the party died. But very hard to make the call.

#

Is there an uninstaller? I need to do a fresh install to fix my game

remote lintel

in the game files

Unless steam version

If you mean under its game folder there is no uninstaller there

hi, how do i put materia in lvl 60 gear?
do i need lvl 50 disciples of hand?

steep heron
remote lintel
#

you went 1 folder too far

#

go back to ff14 a realm reborn

steep heron
remote lintel
steep heron
#

Its not under boot either

remote lintel
#

idk why your game folders look different from mine

#

could just go to control panel and uninstall a program

ornate fable
#

There isn’t an option on the bottom of the launcher?

steep heron
#

nope

#

already checked the light mode launcher too

obsidian patio
#

@hoary wigeon any level 60 crafting class.

#

but if you just want to meld into the visible slots, you can use the NPC melders found in the city states, marked with a blue materia icon on the map

hoary wigeon
#

@obsidian patio thank you so much i will check it now

woeful nacelle
#

Is there any unwritten rules if you joing a group as a regen or shield healer?

obsidian patio
#

not really?

hoary wigeon
#

im samurai, what materia i should focus on @obsidian patio

obsidian patio
#

Just know that Scholar Shields and Astro shields don't stack at all.

remote lintel
#

if youre ast pick the opposite of whatever the other healer is

woeful nacelle
#

yeah was just wondering if one or the other main heals

obsidian patio
#

no, both healers should do both healing and damage

#

Main healer/off healer puts unneeded stress on one healer

remote lintel
#

@hoary wigeon melding materia below lvl 80 doesn't change much

#

it doesnt really help

hoary wigeon
#

oh thanks inadvance, but what materia should i focus on for samurai, det/crit/skill spd?

obsidian patio
remote lintel
#

crit > DH > det and make sure your skill speed is at least 811

#

at lvl 80

hoary wigeon
#

wonderful, thanks

hallow plank
#

materia for black mage ?

obsidian patio
#

SpS to comfort > Crit/DH > Det

steep heron
#

Depends if you want to focus more on lots of crits or lots of spellspeed

obsidian patio
#

BLM works at pretty much any amount of Spell Speed past 558

remote lintel
#

can u make a full sps build and still do fine

obsidian patio
#

yes

#

there's even an opener for the super high amounts of SpS

remote lintel
#

your damage wont suffer that much?

obsidian patio
#

The actual damage variation between what you meld isn't that major for the most part, assuming you're already at an ideal GCD for your job if it has one

#

as long as you're melding something that isn't losing too much from overcapping a stat you'll be fine for the most part

The times for marriage reservations are based on the server time, not local time. Right?

obsidian patio
#

AKA, very fast

remote lintel
#

omg 3600 sps

obsidian patio
#

@mossy tartan I think so? but once you have the actual invitation in your inventory to give to others it converts to your timezone

mossy tartan
#

Because I’m marrying someone who follows GMT+8, while I’m on GMT+3, and the server is Europe so idk if it’s EST or GMT

So I reached 80 on SAM. Got a full set of idealized gear + Neo-Ishgardian with the relic weapon. And now I need to add materia. Is Crit > DH > Skill Speed the best for SAM?

obsidian patio
#

check how much skill speed you have without melds and see how much you need to meld if any to be within any of the listed skill speed ranges

#

@mossy tartan all servers use UTC as the in-game server time

cinder patio
#

Ah I see. Thanks!

#

Yeah I am right at the middle one, with 2.07 after Shifu, without any skillspeed materia. So I should be able to just skip that then and focus on crit/DH > Determination

it upgrades from your lv70 artifact weapon

#

wher do i get my lvl 70 artifact?

obsidian patio
#

from your level 70 job quest

#

if you threw it away, you can buy it back from the calamity salvager

#

i equip already but still red icon

warped nest
#

Talk to the quest npc

#

What does the quest say about why you can't accept it

obsidian patio
#

Do you have a protean crystal in your inventory?

rough lance
#

this is the job quest wep?? i gt it after i finish lvl 70 job quest

obsidian patio

because that quest wants you to have one

#

nope i don hav it

You get them from chaining kills in Eureka Anemos, along with exchanging Anemos Crystals earned from FATEs/NMs in Eureka with Gerolt

idle sentinel
#

I'm currently on my initial playthrough at lvl 61 with warrior. I figured once I reach lvl cap I was gonna bri g up another job and probably dps. What would u guys recommend.

rough lance
#

so i jus use my own weapon and kill stuff 1st?

obsidian patio
#

any weapon will do

#

don't need to use the antiquated

rough lance
#

proteam crystal is from the mobs?

obsidian patio
#

yes

#

you want to kill ones equal to your level or 1/2 levels higher

#

As extra help, you can buy Eureka Potions from the merchant in the camp area to use for some beefy healing

#

@idle sentinel If you like the big bursty moments from Warrior then you'll probably like Samurai, Machinist, or Black Mage with their big hit attacks

idle sentinel
#

Honestly them 3 all had my attention

#

Machinists sounds unique and I hear black mage is an aoe monster

obsidian patio
#

All the jobs are pretty decent at AoE but yeah, BLM's is pretty flashy and fun. uwucarby

warped nest
#

Imo, Dancer stands out in that they are so heavily on priorities and RNG/proc, would be a pretty different experience from playing warrior

idle sentinel
#

Is machinists range or melee

warped nest
#

Ranged

idle sentinel
#

How do u go about lvlin another job up

#

I assume it starts at either 1 or 30 and then u just do roulette or something for xp?

obsidian patio
#

Machinist starts at 30, yeah.

trail prairie
#

how do i do the extreme trials? duty finder? party finder?

obsidian patio
#

Daily Roulettes > highest level dungeon are you main go-to for leveling up alt classes

#

Party Finder.

idle sentinel
#

Alright ty

warped nest
#

@trail prairie party finder

idle sentinel
#

I still have a bit to go before I start a mee job, just wanted a heads up

#

okay, ty

So for clarity, he will have samurai

little swift
#

yes

signal garnet
#

alright pog

#

he wants to play with me and he said he doesnt care about skipping levels

#

but im making him do msq

halcyon glen
#

good

signal garnet
#

so he doesnt screw anyone over in dungeons lol

little swift
#

then he might as well just play without skipping levels

#

being 70 on lv1 msq is the same as being lv1 on lv1 msq

#

he'll be synced down on the dungeons and solo instances anyways

halcyon rune
#

Yeah, Sam starts at 50 anyway.
Skipping is recommended only when doing alts.

halcyon glen
#

And even then SAM only skips 20 levels

normal breach
#

if my retainer is a warrior, can he exceed my warrior class level even if i have another class that is higher? or is it that he just cannot exceed my highest dps class?

halcyon glen
#

He can not exceed your Marauder level

normal breach
#

even if i have dark knight thats hgiher?

halcyon glen
#

Correct

normal breach
#

can i change his class without resetting level?

halcyon glen
#

No

#

Or not afaik anyway

obsidian patio
#

You can upgrade them from a class to a job without losing levels

random kindle
#

where would be the best place to find people to run all the lvl 70 raids unsynced... party finder?

obsidian patio
#

yes

rough lance
#

eureka can use any wep to farm the crystals?

obsidian patio
#

yes

#

you can do the grind on any job

rough lance
#

i see

#

but can u get the wep even if u don hav the class lvled?

obsidian patio
#

technically no, as you need the antiquated weapon from the level 70 job quest

#

but you can stockpile the materials for making the weapons

rough lance
#

oh

#

ok

#

thanks

delicate stone
#

do people think we'll get a new playable race in the next expansion?

junior yacht
#

it's very unlikely

dense pier
#

I'm about to finish base ShB MSQ. After I do so, should I keep doing the patch MSQ or should I start settling in and begin farming/working towards something?

candid raptor
#

No need to farm for anything until you finish story

dense pier
#

Okay, which

#

Spell speed, skill speed, tenacity, piety

#

I was thinking piety

#

since it's still good, right?

candid raptor
#

Any? They're not even rank 8

#

Also none of those are crit/dh/det, aka they're pretty worthless

dense pier
#

Alright

obsidian patio
#

spell speed and skill speed sometimes have ok value

carmine patio
celest bison
#

how does one make artificial ceiling in apartment?

candid raptor
#

More than piety and tenacity that's for sure paissasquint

dense pier
#

Isn't piety responsible for mana regen?

candid raptor
#

Only for healers

little swift
#

piety is for comfort for mana regen on healers

dense pier
#

Yeah

little swift
#

its up to you

candid raptor
#

and nobody really cares about it

little swift
#

thats not true?

#

piety is definitely used

frozen violet
#

do you get job exp for doing eureka?

dense pier
#

No

#

Sadly

#

Eureka is a timesink where the only thing you get out of it worthwhile is a chance at money because some stuff in Eureka is worth millions and millions of gil

celest bison
#

i tried doing it many times and obv im not doing it right @little swift

#

i think

dense pier
#

I think like an accessory goes for 40 million gil

#

Also, glamour

#

The stuff you get from lockboxes is nice to glam with

little swift
#

once you get it to the preferred height you need to rotate it and rotate it back to lock it into place

#

you also have to make sure grid snap is off

obsidian patio
#

I don't think Cassie Earring goes for that high anymore

dense pier
#

Let me check

obsidian patio
#

but yeah, it's a place that you can definitely make a profit off if you're willing to grind for it

dense pier
#

I guess I mistook something else perhaps

#

but cassie goes for 12 - 18mil

candid raptor
#

The mounts from eureka are the safer bet but also have dropped in price massively

celest bison
#

@little swift im trying but im struggling to do it right

little swift
#

the timing on the on loft glitch is sorta tight

stone tartan
#

I have no idea about the other server/worlds too

spiral hazel
#

How do you unsync alliance raids, like make an alliance party. I dont have 8 people per party.

blazing vigil
#

does anyone know what time 5.3 releases?

remote lintel
#

@spiral hazel select undersized party

#

august 11

blazing vigil
#

is it at 1:00 AM PST?

spiral hazel
#

yes but, how do we make an alliance raid.

#

we have 6 people, so thats 2 people per party

#

so how do we turn us into a raid party?

remote lintel
#

don't know but im assuming theyll shut down the servers at the end of august 10

candid raptor
#

@stone tartan tonberry is the biggest english-speaking world in the Japanese datacentets

#

For eu servers you got Moogle as the french and Shiva as the german one

tardy storm
#

Servers relate to their general position in the real world, so aether primal and Crystal are all na servers. If you're not in na you'll have a bit of lag the further you are from there. Same with the others.

candid raptor
#

Rest are all largely english

#

And yeah what sona said

tardy storm
#

I dont know much about languages tho /shrug

stone tartan
#

I live Malaysia, so I just picked a Japanese server because its the nearest one to me. Should I go to another data center?

candid raptor
#

No

tardy storm
#

Their positions in the Data Centers screen is where they are more or less in the real world

candid raptor
#

Well

normal breach
#

is rested xp different for each class? like if i logoff as botanist does the rested xp only go to that class?

candid raptor
#

I'd day go to the DC that has tonberry in it

blazing vigil
#

do you lose a sub day during maintenance?

candid raptor
#

To get good ping and english speaking peeps

normal breach
#

its showing i have like 10M rested xp on my culinarian but i only have like 500K for my dark knight

tardy storm
#

Servers become unavailable periodically. If tonberry isnt available now, try later.

#

They are like this to try and balance new player traffic

#

And it can change literally MINUTELY.

#

Doesnt rested xp scale with level?

candid raptor
#

Yep

obsidian patio
#

@blazing vigil yes

#

Either way, main patch maintenances are only around 8 hours long or so nowadays

little swift
#

is rested xp different for each class? like if i logoff as botanist does the rested xp only go to that class?
@normal breach rested exp is 1 bar shared between all your jobs/classes. you end up having less if you use it up on a lower level job

#

it banks up no matter what job you're on as long as you're inside a sanctuary

#

up to 1.5 levels

#

takes about 4 days to cap out

#

and yes it's scaled to your level

#

you only consume it on earning exp through combat/crafting/gathering

How do I get the super-far east aether in The Tempest

#

It's my last current to get before the last quest

#

Nvm... I think Is ee how to get in

#

I had to zoom into the map to see the path from above leads straight down to it

#

Damn

normal breach
#

@little swift

#

can u explain this

#

oh nvm

#

it updated

#

i get it now lol

unreal aspen
#

yea it can

#

though in general gatherers will get less gil for their efforts

#

since mat prices are pretty low when they're uncrafted stuff

#

but if you check markets for what's selling well/at good prices then you'll be able to make a fair amount

proud monolith
#

In e8s, is it only possible to do uptime scythes if she uses axe kick before light rampant?

limpid lantern
#

Is thereba way to turn off weather effects ? Lightning on ps4 looks horrible

#

Looks more like a texture bug than actual lightning

slate arrow
#

on PS4: no

limpid lantern
#

Well shit, its giving me a aheadache

slate arrow
#

well, you can send a support desk request to SE but as far as I know there's no way to turn off weather effects by default

limpid lantern
#

Might be the area im in rn

frosty badger
#

Hello

limpid lantern
#

Since i had lightning before and it was fine but right now im in east shroud foresty area and it looks crappy

frosty badger
#

Is it cheaper to buy stuff using the companion app?

slate arrow
#

off the marketboard: no

frosty badger
#

It say only 3% tax

#

Game is 5%

slate arrow
#

last time I checked tax is charged to the seller rather than the buyer so

#

It only really affects you if you do a lot of selling

#

I think

frosty badger
#

Hmm I think tax is taken from both buyer and seller

#

:V

slate arrow
#

They changed that with 5.1 or 5.2 with the whole retainer EXP changes though iirc

#

It's been a while so I might be wrong

frosty badger
#

As a frequent merchant I noticed that tax is collected from both

#

Buyers always pay higher than face value and sellers recieve deducted amounts

slate arrow
#

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

#

It's been a while

#

But anyways the easiest way would be to check the listing both in game and via the app and see how much you pay total

#

Plus you do have to spend a kupo nut to actually buy off the app so

#

it's a trade off

frosty badger
#

Obviously

#

Ok I'll go with my free nuts since I have no access to game rn

crude pilot
#

Hello! This is not gameplay related, but I hope it stays in the limits of this channel, so sorry if it doesn't... Has SE released the official 5.3 key art in high res?

obsidian patio
#

Not that I know of, but you can watch these sites for when they eventually come out.

crude pilot
#

Alright, will keep an eye of these, thanks a lot 😄

white ether
#

So my in game is full screen but cutscenes are 4:3 is there any way to fix that?

wet cradle
#

are there relic weapons for ARR and HW so far in the game?

naive kraken
#

what extremes have echo and when would ones that dont currently have echo get echo?

obsidian patio
#

All extremes not part of the current patch get echo

naive kraken
#

so all extremes would have it when 5.3 drops save for any 5.3 extremes

obsidian patio
#

yep.

#

Extreme Echo goes up by 5% per wipe that lasts more than 3(?) minutes, capping out at 25%

white ether
#

Is there a way to fix my cutscene problem?

obsidian patio
#

No idea, never had issues on PS4. :\

white ether
#

Lol

naive kraken
#

not seeing any setting in the game

#

make it so your graphics drivers dont auto report, have them set to always desktop program. at least for nvidia. i havent had that issue

white ether
#

Where can I see if I have it turned on in my computer

naive kraken
#

in your driver control panel. are you on an nvidia card?

white ether
#

Amd

naive kraken
#

ah that im not certain, but its "content type reported to the display" on nvidia, instead of auto recommend i have it desktop program

white ether
#

Do you know about the 4:3 problem at all?

naive kraken
#

sometimes when cutscenes happen in games, that setting trips on auto and it tries to resize

#

that's all i can think of, first time ive heard of it

white ether
#

Is there a way to fix it?

#

Oh

#

Well I just started having this problem when I adjusted the screen

naive kraken
#

have you closed and reopened ff14?

white ether
#

I should do that lol one sec

naive kraken
#

sometimes resizing while its open messes with that

#

typically i get wrong mouse reporting in game, i'll hover near the top of the window but in game its center screen

#

the biggest issue i get tends to be audio driver switching crashing the game

cold crescent
#

yoyo

#

quick question about dragoon skills

#

blood of the dragon stuff

obsidian patio
#

o/

cold crescent
#

aight sooo

#

sometimes after i activate fang and claw or wheeling thrust

#

the game will let me do the other one

#

is that rng?

#

or is there something i can do

#

to make that consistent

obsidian patio
#

!trait Lance Mastery

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Lance Mastery** : lvl 64 DRG

Allows for immediate execution of Wheeling Thrust after landing Fang and Claw, or Fang and Claw after landing Wheeling Thrust, increasing potency by 100.

obsidian patio
#

This is what lets you use the other one after the first one.

#

no RNG to it

cold crescent
#

ah

#

so i just haven't been doing that usually because i've been in lower level dungeons

white ether
#

Is there a macro I can set up to quickly change classes?

cold crescent
#

that makes sense

#

ty fellas

obsidian patio
#

So that makes your rotation become Chaos Thrust Combo > Wheeling Thrust + Fang and Claw > Full thrust Combo > Fang and Claw + Wheeling Thrust

remote lintel
#

@white ether add your gearsets to a hotbar

white ether
#

How do I do that

remote lintel
#

open your gearsets

#

right click

#

add to hotbar

cold crescent
#

by the wayyyy

white ether
#

Thanks

cold crescent
#

im right at the end of heavensward and the game tells me that once i complete "the final steps of faith" i can get more dragoon skills

#

roughly how far out is that?

remote lintel
#

depends what your quest is

cold crescent
#

im at the quest called heavensward

remote lintel
#

like 20+ quests

cold crescent
#

ite tyty

jade quartz
#

@cold crescent uh wait hold up. That's not true

#

completing the final steps of faith won't give you more DRG skills

remote lintel
#

i think it's when you enter stormblood

cold crescent
#

well i certainly cant do more dragoon quests rn

sudden wagon
#

Not until you get into storm blood no

cold crescent
#

i dunno i was told i gotta do that quest before i can do more

#

ah

#

gotcha

#

stormblood gaaang

#

we'll get there

#

ty fellas

jade quartz
#

Final Steps of Faith is only halfway between "Heavensward" quest and Stormblood.

sudden wagon
#

You're 44 quests away

jade quartz
#

You're gonna be waiting for the quest "The Far Edge of Fate"

#

not "The Final Steps of Faith".

cold crescent
#

aight i managed to power through the seventh astral era questline i can do this i guess lol

jade quartz
#

That's the last quest before the beginning of Stormblood.

#

This is much better than 7th Astral Era

cold crescent
#

GOOD

jade quartz
#

Well-paced, not fetchquesty or fillery

#

dense with story

cold crescent
#

sickkk

twilit python
#

will 5.3 release a new crafting gear set thats better than facet, or do we not know? wanna upgrade my gear but dont wanna waste monies on it if 5.3 releases a better set

warped nest
#

Probably

#

5.4 will see a new tier of crafted DoW/M, along side with a new tier of tomestone / savage gears

#

So 5.3 might see some new doh/l gears

twilit python
#

i see, will that get announced a few days before release or do we have to wait for launch to know for sure?

obsidian patio
#

It's almost a definite yes looking at heavensward and stormblood

warped nest
#

Best they will do is show you some render

obsidian patio
#

but we'll know for sure when the prelim patch notes hit

warped nest
#

Won't tell you name, stat, etc

twilit python
#

aight gotcha, in that case would it be better to not up my gear yet as i dont really have a need for it, or is it still better to get it just so that i can craft the newer gear on launch and make bank?

weak wharf
#

My friends and I started the free trials and got to the first dungeon, would someone be able to help us make the party? (Adamantoise)

warped nest
#

Form a party with just you two, party leader open duty finder, queue in and let the game match make you

weak wharf
#

we have 1 tank and 3 dps xD

remote lintel
#

queueing is matchmaking

cold crescent
#

unfortunately you and your homies gotta queue in 2 groups

#

this game does groups of 4 for moooost basic dungeons

remote lintel
#

all dungeons except 2

little swift
#

I mean if someone parties them altogether they can queue on their own and bypass party restrictions

#

Depending on which dps it is they can clear the dungeon just fine too

cold crescent
#

they CAN but i wouldn't start by making a habit of that on the first dungeon lol

remote lintel
#

or tell one of em to change to a healer

little swift
#

If one started arcanist theyre fine

#

Physick does ok at thar level

#

And then they can transition to scholar after

remote lintel
#

assuming they want to

blissful lava
#

Hello, will we get a chest like 2B's Fit All Glamour in the coming Nier Raid?

remote lintel
#

I don't think so?

blissful lava
#

Eeh???

#

I was hoping for a 9S fit all set

obsidian patio
#

no way to know for sure

blissful lava
#

Unfortunately

#

I saw the trailer yesterday and I wish I didn't 😫

#

It's so Amazing I cant wait

#

I'm sooo worried

remote lintel
#

I think it said on the translated info that there wouldn't be coffers or something

blissful lava
#

But I'll stop now, Thx 4 Answering

remote lintel
#

but the individual gear pieces would drop

#

so you could use those as glam

blissful lava
#

True but Fit All is just so Perfect

#

Thx 4 Answering btw 💙

stark delta
#

Can some one link the alt@leveling guide?

austere spruce
#

At what point can I choose different jobs? Is it 10 to freely switch or just go to the next version of the job I already chosen?

jade quartz
#

Complete your level 10 class quest for your starting class

#

Then you can unlock other classes by going to their guilds

austere spruce
#

Cool. Thank you. Right now I'm a gladiator

jade quartz
#

“Jobs” are just the upgraded versions of the base classes. There unlocked after completing your level 30 class quest

austere spruce
#

Ok

jade quartz
#

I.e. after completing the level 30 gladiator quest, you will unlock the next quest which upgrades you to a paladin.

austere spruce
#

Cool

#

Ill probably be playing gladiator as my main. And maybe might switch to samurai later at 50 idk yet

#

I like you can switch jobs without making a new character though that's neat

shrewd owl
#

oh man you are gonna hate dps queues haha

halcyon rune
#

And the same role usually shares the same gear. Your Gladiator gear will work on a Marauder or DK as well. Same for healers.

#

Except melees. Only 2 share gear.

#

Enjoy those tank queues while they last lol

robust crow
#

if I change my retainer's class from BRD to RDM, do I have to level it from 1 all over again

#

i like caster glamours more than BRD glamours

#

that's the only reason

jade quartz
#

If they’re already a BRD, yes

#

If they’re an archer, no

robust crow
#

fuck lol

#

she's already a level 80 bard

white ether
#

Whenever I go into a cutscene my screen goes to 4:3 anyway to fix that?

kind eagle
#

Damn

#

what is this mount

warped nest
#

Stormblood mount

#

You got it after collecting all 7 Kamuy mount from Stormblood EX trials

kind eagle
#

u get it after clearing stormblood?

#

im still doing stormblood

#

ex trial is when completed right

warped nest
#

Yes

kind eagle
#

i see

#

is it 1 seater

warped nest
#

But it is recommended that you unsync these EX trials to farm them quickly with lvl 80 party

#

1 seater

kind eagle
#

oh

#

right now can u grind for any 2 seater

#

or u have to buy

fresh lodge
#

You can get a 4 seater from E4S

warped nest
#

Ummmm.... I cannot give a clear answer on that, so Imma wait and let

limpid lantern
#

Is greed that you roll for it of no one needs it ?

kind eagle
#

E4S?

warped nest
#

Level 80 Eden Raid

#

Eden 4 Savage, it is the community name

fresh lodge
#

But the other multi-seaters are eith RaF or Store

warped nest
#

E4S

jade quartz
#

Eden’s Gate: Sepulchre (Savage)

kind eagle
#

damn savage

warped nest
#

@limpid lantern yes

#

Need beats Greed

jade quartz
#

There is a multi-seater from completing 2000 mentor roulettes

fresh lodge
#

Oh yeah

jade quartz
#

This is an immense grind and very few people have it

warped nest
#

Just think of Need having a +100 hidden value

fresh lodge
#

Good luck with that

#

You also have to become a Combat Mentor before even being able to do the roulette

warped nest
#

The easiest multi seater is probably the XV car

#

Which is currently not available

#

You need to wait for them to eventually re-run the event again

fresh lodge
#

Assuming they do rerun it

warped nest
#

Yeah

kind eagle
#

hope for rerun then

#

im stil far

#

currently at sb only

fallen elk
#

I am trying to log in the game for the free trial but only played the beta way back then so I don't remember my ID. Are there any GMs to help with that or the only way is with tickets?

fresh lodge
#

The only way would be to send in a ticket, but is there any reason to not just make a new account?

#

You also might not be able to get the trial because you already had an existing account

fallen elk
#

Not really, it's just the account that is linked to my steam.

Really, they should allow people to try the game even if they had an account before. I will just make a new one I guess

obsidian patio
#

It's more that the old free trial had a time limit, and if you hit that you got locked out of the trial

#

unlike the current version which lets you play the trial as long as you want

honest cedar
#

i'm lv52 but for some reason the lv52 dragoon quest isnt available...is it because i havent reached the lv52 quests in MSQ?

candid raptor
#

Prrobably yes

shrewd owl
#

yeah you gotta reach heavensward to do those quests

honest cedar
#

what lv does heavensward start at? OTL;

shrewd owl
#

50

obsidian patio
#

50, but it comes after the base game patch story, which is 100 quests long.

honest cedar
#

so i have to finish all the patch quests before unlocking the skills.. i see. a pain, but tysm!

white ether
#

What’s the macro for first person on pc?

candid raptor
#

Main story quest is essential for everything anyway

vocal shell
#

@white ether it’s defaulted to HOME key iirc

trail prairie
#

if the entire party disappears during a trial does that mean you were kicked?

fallen elk
#

Do I need to put a one-time PW if I don't have one? Managed to log on the website no problem but when I tried to log on steam I got locked out...

obsidian patio
#

No.

#

One-time is only if you have the authenticator enabled for your account

#

@trail prairie like inside the duty or outside it?

trail prairie
#

inside

#

when the echo activated I think

obsidian patio
#

that just sounds like everyone else leaving the instance/party and not you being kicked if you're alone in the duty.

trail prairie
#

oh, is it how it goes then?

#

to leave the instance if echo happens?

obsidian patio
#

nah

#

sounds more like people who don't want to give the group a second chance

#

and got frustrated

trail prairie
#

hm

gloomy mortar
#

Is desynth affected in any way if materia is still attached?

simple shore
#

Well, usually what happens in that situation is

#

Someone leaves

#

and the other 6 are like "sweet no penalty" and bail immediately

#

a'ight ty

simple shore
#

What trial was it?

obsidian patio
#

@gloomy mortar I don't think so anymore, it used to increase success rate but now that's always 100%

simple shore
#

I'm guessing that everyone but you that was there got there via a roulette queue and given that even for DPS roulette queue is like 5 minutes they just decided to try and get something less shit.

white ether
#

How do you get your game to run smooth on pc?

simple shore
#

idk, what's your current FPS showing as? what kind of hardware are you running on?

gloomy mortar
#

Are you more likely to get good mats if materia is still attached?

white ether
#

It’s at 72 FPS

obsidian patio
#

From all of the testing I've seen, no.

simple shore
#

72 should be pretty smooth. What's the issue exactly?

white ether
#

But I’m watching a leveling video and his game is running smooth

obsidian patio
#

But you do get a better chance at the 'rarer' stuff when your desynth level is above the recommended of the item

simple shore
#

Like, can you give me some sort of comparison point?

white ether
obsidian patio
#

like primal materials from primal weapons

simple shore
#

@white ether what's your monitors refresh rate?

white ether
#

Where do I check that at?

simple shore
#

Hmm, google gave me this and it seems accurate

#

Check that

white ether
#

Oh it’s 1/1 refresh rate

simple shore
#

Well yeah, but that's the point im getting at. Go to that link and see what it says your refresh rate is

white ether
#

Kk

simple shore
#

Just so that we're sure that FF isnt somehow confused

white ether
#

59.939

simple shore
#

So basically 60. That means that the highest FPS you can be actually seeing is 60.

#

Even though you're getting 72 according to you

white ether
#

That’s what it says in game but I think it’s 60

simple shore
#

Yeah

austere spruce
#

Can I move my map? Adjust it more so it's on the left edge of my screen?

simple shore
#

TL;DR upgrade your monitor if you want to be able to see FPS returns above 60. Refresh rate is very important on monitors.

white ether
#

So it’s a monitor thing?

simple shore
#

Like i said, if your reported number of 72 is accurate, then yes

Gotcha

simple shore
#

@austere spruce You should be able to just grab it by the top and drag it around. You can also resize it via the bottom right corner and dragging that.

white ether
#

Thanks

simple shore
#

Unless you mean the minimap

#

in which case, you would need to go into HUD Layout and move it there

austere spruce
#

If I drag it will it stay wherever I put it for the next time I open it?

simple shore
#

Yes

white ether
#

Do you know any videos on guides to level from 50 to 80

austere spruce
#

Also how do I enable to pointer on controller I forgot

simple shore
#

@white ether !faq altlvlguide

#

err

#

!faq altlvlguide

zinc orbitBOT
simple shore
#

there we go

#

that should have all the info you need

#

@austere spruce No clue, someone else will have to answer that. I play on MKB.

austere spruce
#

Ah yea I'm talking about the mini map not the one in the top right but the one u open to veiw

obsidian patio
#

L1+R3 should be the command/buttons

simple shore
#

Uh, the one in the top right is the minimap

obsidian patio
#

or L1+L3 namazuthink

austere spruce
#

What's the one I open with Square then?

simple shore
#

No clue, again, not a controller guy

#

Does it look like this?

austere spruce
#

That's what I'm opening

simple shore
#

Yeah thats just the regular map, not the "minimap"

#

So my instructions still apply

austere spruce
#

Ah well it doesn't go full screen so I was assuming it was another mini map haha

gloomy mortar
#

How do you get the mining nodes to show up on the regular map? I only see it on the mini map

simple shore
#

They dont

#

However mining nodes general locations are completely static

#

i.e. if i want to mine copper, there's a specific small area that has that node

#

and nowhere else

gloomy mortar
#

Is there a button to quickly turn off name icons so you can take a quick picture ? Or do you have to go through the menu each time to turn them off and on

oak ice
#

Scroll lock turns off the entire HuD

leaden ginkgo
#

is there any use to dungeon gear I don't need other than glamour and expert delivery?

forest laurel
#

alt jobs? unless you have them all at 80 then yes

simple shore
#

Desynth

leaden ginkgo
#

it seems to me that the poetics gear is good enough for alts

forest laurel
#

that too, you can get some nice stuff from desynthing

simple shore
#

I desynth every piece of dungeon loot i touch.

#

Except for 1-50 but i dont really even bother rolling on that

leaden ginkgo
#

hmm

forest laurel
#

poetics gear augmented normally lasts until 55/65/75
dps can use it all the way to the next milestone bc it's more lenient
but healers and tanks NEED the dungeon gear

leaden ginkgo
#

I can't desynth yet, my crafters aren't high enoough

lime geode
#

What kind of stuff can you get from desynth?

twilit arch
#

crafting mats for the most part

forest laurel
#

crafting materials, elemental shards/crystals/clusters

simple shore
#

Base materials mostly. Vendor trash items that sell for a good amount too.

gloomy mortar
#

Dementia

simple shore
#

!item Clear Demimateria III

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Clear Demimateria III** **:** Demimateria : ilvl 50

*A crystallized mass of residual spiritbond energies transferred to an item by its maker during the crafting process.

Exchangeable for gil.*

simple shore
#

get lots of that

#

5k gil each

leaden ginkgo
#

so I'll save my dungeon loot for tank and healer

#

it's just, my storage is overflooding with dungeon loot I don't use

#

even my chocobo saddlebag is full of dungeon loot

forest laurel
#

turn them in for seals then

#

you'll get the gear back when leveling thru dungeons anyway

leaden ginkgo
#

so maybe I can save a couple sets for healer/tank

#

levels between the poetics sets

#

55/65/75 ok

#

thanks for the tips

forest laurel
#

yeah that can help

#

especially the 65 set bc the lvl 65 dungeon hits like a fucking bitch

leaden ginkgo
#

for crafters, do I start with the job quests or ignore those and grind the leves?

forest laurel
#

do job quests, they're good xp

gloomy mortar
#

Both

forest laurel
#

also yeah tbh, both

lime geode
#

Ah I got my lvl 70 class gear as soon as I got to stormblood, so I think I'm good till poetics whenever I get tehre

agile laurel
#

yeah, 🅱️ardam's with anyone at level is so unfun it's not even words

forest laurel
#

I did mine all until lvl 50, then I got my crafters to 70, and finished the job quests

leaden ginkgo
#

is there a way to separate my MP bar from the HP bar?

forest laurel
#

no

leaden ginkgo
#

pfft

forest laurel
#

you can do that for the target bar

kind eagle
#

i think at lv64

#

they starting to give stuff better than my augmented set?

oak ice
#

Yes, 273 is higher than 270

forest laurel
#

ye

kind eagle
#

so i gotta start collecting

forest laurel
#

ilvl above all else when leveling

celest bison
#

How do you even place this stupid fake window called Fool’s Portal on partition? Its not letting me place it at all

kind eagle
#

ty

tawny chasm
#

Hi i'm starting today with 2 friends. What would be a good 3 man comp? I will probably go with the guy that uses summons

agile laurel
#

@celest bison this'd be hard to describe. I believe you need to place from storeroom, but you need the prompt menu for it. The toggle might be number lock, but you aim it at where you want to go, hit enter and a window comes up with 'Place' on it. Hit Enter again and it should just place, regardless of the fact it says it can't

#

well you could get a tank healer and dps, but that'd likely be a bit much

#

really just go whatever, imho

jade quartz
#

Have one of you be a tank or healer

tawny chasm
#

Like paladin+ dragoon?

#
  • me
agile laurel
#

Yeah, as long as you have one not-a-dps you'll get quick dungeon queues, plus you can't have 3 dps in dungeons

jade quartz
#

Dragoon is a dps.

agile laurel
#

yeah they're saying tank+dps+dps

jade quartz
#

Could have a tank healer and dps

#

Or

tawny chasm
#

Is there pet guy with heal?

agile laurel
#

yes

simple shore
#

Yes

#

Scholar

jade quartz
#

One tank OR healer, and two dps

agile laurel
#

level arcanist to 30 and it branches out into summoner and scholar

jade quartz
#

Either of those two comps will ensure you can all do dungeons together

celest bison
#

Thats just another disappointing news. I never thought decorating would be such a mess in this game

tawny chasm
#

Okey

agile laurel
#

Decorating is kinda a mess, but there are a lot of tricks to do what you want to do

#

Like, you can do what you want to do

#

it's very easy if you know how

#

as above. but you'd think you'd be able to do it conventionally, and nah chief

celest bison
#

I tried doing those tricks and nothing happened. I even rotated items, tried to height enough to float items and such

agile laurel
#

then I'd wager you're doing them wrong

#

because they still work for me

celest bison
#

Thats what im saying. Idek what im doing wrong every time i try so hard to make it work

#

Its so frustrating

agile laurel
#

floating ground-based items is tricksy cause it requires you to find the centre of the hitbox on what you're floating

#

so it IS trial and error

#

i mean, unless you use a loft or something that's so big it's gonna find it no matter what

#

and then you need to do it little bit by bit

#

Honestly the window trick took me a hot minute to get to work myself, in which I thought 'oh it's patched' and then I realised what I wasn't doing and then it worked

#

I still need to refresh my memory whenever I need to do it

#

so i'd recommend watching the video guides again carefully

#

or finding different video guides

celest bison
#

Point is, im just disappointed with how decorating works here. I wish it wasnt so difficult with so many tricks to do cuz its not supposed to be like that.

gritty oracle
#

Revised survival manual is only better than commercial when I hit lv70, correct?

novel spruce
#

Hello

stark delta
#

Is there a way to make the boss casting bar a bit bigger and more noticable so i stop gettinf one shot by attacks im supposed to see them casting?

twilit arch
#

you can separate the target bar into 3 bars

jade quartz
#

You can go into HUD layout > highlight the target bar > go into the settings for that UI element > there is an option to separate it into three separate elements

twilit arch
#

so that you can enlarge the castbar itself without enlarging the target bar

celest bison
#

YES

stark delta
#

Oh. Nice

twilit arch
#

@gritty oracle fairly certain revised is perfectly fine to use before 70, but there's no reason to use commercial after 70 since the effect gets halved

celest bison
#

I JUST FINALLY PLACED MY FOOLS PORTAL ON PARTITION YAY @agile laurel jfc

gritty oracle
#

commercial gives more of a boost pre-70 than revised

twilit arch
#

true

#

but revised has a higher cap, and can cut down on inventory space

lime geode
#

Is Progress bar the casting bar you're talking about above @jade quartz

#

There's HP, Progress Bar and Status

#

Which one fills when the boss is casting something nasty?

nova umbra
#

how many people minimum could you do alexander savage unsynced?

twilit arch
#

progress bar = cast bar

lime geode
#

kk

twilit arch
#

though if you break the target info into 3 pieces

#

it'll be the "Target info (progress bar)"

#

progress bar by itself is your cast bar

lime geode
#

yeah ill try it at double size

limpid lantern
#

Is there a special quest to become the next job or is it just the lvl 30 guild quest ?

nova umbra
#

it's just the 30 quest

#

after you do it you get a stone that you equip to change jobs

limpid lantern
#

Ok ty ^^

hallow vortex
#

Hello!

#

Is there a rough equipment guide for a max level AST?

#

I just reached 80 last night haha

leaden ginkgo
#

Is it okay to use dps meters in this game? if yes, can somebody help me on how to set it up??

weak wharf
#

So I started my free trial with steam but since it's half off, I plan to just buy the windows account. Can i still buy it on this account?

misty spire
#

Do we know for certain if free trial players will get upgraded on Aug. 11? I may wait to start my trial then if not.

twilit arch
#

@weak wharf no, if you started the free trial on steam, you'd have to buy the full game from steam. if you want to make use of the SE store sale, you'll need to start a new account

weak wharf
#

ughhh idon't have another email, can they delete my account so I can just redo it?

agile laurel
#

@misty spire possible, but unconfirmed either way

#

black mage question - assuming I have either a xeno or a quick 3 to weave with, is there any actual pro's to sharp anything other than thunder?

humble maple
#

Can you change a retainer's battle class? I levelled another class than I expected I would and hope to change it s:

agile laurel
#

yep, pretty sure you can

#

couldn't say how, possibly at the vocate

humble maple
#

I assume you'd need another copy of the modern vocation thingy

#

but wasn't sure if you could do that after you did it once already

twilit arch
#

you're going to have to reset it if you're switching from class to class or job to job. but if you're simply changing it from a class to job, you just need the modern vocate

#

@weak wharf i'm not sure that'll work or not :\

humble maple
#

okay, that's too bad :/ thanks for the answers tho

weak wharf
#

No worries, I'll shoot support a message and see what they can do. Thanks for the answer

lime geode
#

Any chance it's a gmail address?

weak wharf
#

It is, does the +1 trick work?

lime geode
#

Useful for setting up email rules, but I'm guessing you could use it to register another account with Square.

weak wharf
#

I could give that a try

#

I've only used that for rerolling in gacha games

#

haha

lime geode
#

Seems like an answer if you're set on using the same email address.

#

Otherwise get another email address and forward it to your gmail.

#

So I have an @live.com email address and I have it forward all email to my gmail. I can reply from gmail and it will look like it came from the @live email box.

twilit python
#

are there quests for crafting classes in shadowbringers? when i google every single site only states the quests up to lvl 70.

simple shore
#

There's a different sort of quests

#

the Crystalline Mean has 5 questllines for you to complete

#

You can complete one with Fisher, one with Alchemist/Culinarian, one with Carpenter/Weaver/Leatherworker, one with Blacksmith/Goldsmith/Armorer, and one with Miner/Botanist.

twilit python
#

and im assuming the crafting items you make and what not in those quests are untradeable just like those in stormblood correct?

simple shore
#

Correct

twilit python
#

aight thanks

unreal aspen
#

is there a way to avoid getting fish amissed? i normally don't mind but im fishing on trackpad in the diadem and it's annoying to fly across the zone just to reset it

#

like if you walk a little and cast your line a few feet away every once in a while, does that make it less likely?

simple shore
#

Yes

#

Its really only if you just stand in the same place casting for an extended period

#

You dont have to fly across the zone when it happens though

#

Just like....go to the other end of the pond

unreal aspen
#

yeah thats what i nomrally do but for some reason it's been giving me the message no matter where i go if its on the same island

#

ty!

empty parrot
#

can trial users join crossworld linkshells?

twilit arch
#

i believe so, since they can join normal linkshells

#

anyone around here into home decoration? could use some help furnishing my apartment

simple pine
#

do you have to fill in "one time password" everytime? i hoped it would be once considering the name

junior tundra
#

if you use the diadem to level gatherers do you still have to upgrade your gear

simple shore
#

@simple pine Yes, every time

#

@junior tundra Yes, you will need to upgrade your gear, but not very often

valid pecan
#

um should I wait for new patch before leveling 50+?

#

or just keep leveling my char

simple shore
#

There's no reason to stop

valid pecan
#

I am 44 atm

#

my friend told me it might be better to wait since questing will be faster with the new patch

simple shore
#

Its not going to be that much faster

#

~10-15% trim on the total quests, mostly eliminating unnecessary fetch quest type things. By the time the patch comes out you could be long out of ARR.

rancid sigil
#

Hi! I'm new to Final Fantasy 14, came from Monster Hunter World and got my copy from 2 months ago when they gave it for free on the ps4. If it's alright I have a few questions. What class will give me the job ninja and does the free trial start at the beginning of the game or after level 35?

twilit arch
#

ninja's base class is rogue

simple shore
#

Rogue. You cant start as Rogue though, so if you want to play as ninja, i suggest you start as either Marauder or Arcanist

#

So that you're in the city that Rogues unlock in

nova umbra
#

why do people say to use whistle + final sting? isn't final sting unaspected damage?

rancid sigil
#

Thank you very much!

nova umbra
#

oh wait nvm, it is indeed physical.. wiki is outdated o.o

agile laurel
#

Yeah, you can't start as rogue but you can switch to it after completing your level 10 class quest

crude vortex
#

Let's say I started out as a Lancer, is there any way for me to swap my class without redoing my character?

agile laurel
#

which will take like... an hour if you're brisk

#

Yes, there is

#

reference what I just said, basically

simple shore
#

@crude vortex You can be all classes/jobs on one character. But they have their own levels.

crude vortex
#

How?

cold crescent
#

the game kind of intends for the player to do every job and every class on one character. alts are discouraged

simple shore
#

So, what class do you want to pick up?

agile laurel
#

You unlock a new class and are given a new weapon

oak ice
#

Complete your class quest at level 10 and then accept the quest from another guild

agile laurel
#

Switching to that weapon changes your class

oak ice
#

"So you want to become an X?"

crude vortex
#

Yeah I've got the weapons for let's say Rogue, where would I need to go?

simple shore
#

Limsa

agile laurel
#

it's near the fishers' guild aetheryte

#

on the lower section
