Oh that postpone. Those are for any that are scheduled during maintenance.
Thx
ah okay
I met a girl who had a high level character and I barely played so .... uh.... I was a great deal behind.
it was on a dating website (not telling which) where we met
What are the best crafters to level to craft glams on the market?
I know weaver is one of them
Weaver, BSM and GSM for weapons.
Ah thanks
what exactly does leather worker do then?
Practical gear. 🙂
So stuff like the neo ishgardian sets are made by leatherworkers?
i mean ltw does make glamour gear too
Yed
yes
nice
they're not unique
They're not unique
LTW, WVR, ARM all make armor
aah ok
the icons?
does steam have a cash shop for the game or do I jjust goto Mog Station?
In the description
But you were asking which Crafters were best for Glamour.
Right at the very top
Well, the FFXIV store, but yes.
mogstation
okie dokie..... and "steam wallet" can pay for game time? what else?
Everything
i'll check it out I guess
Dont i get a full set from the lvl 45 guuld quest stuff ?
Not a full one, no
You get the last parts at 50
Depends which glamour you want
Not really unless you want a expensiv glamour.item
And if i glamour something on a item, can i reglamour it on something else later or is it permanent on that item ?
I got a sword from the dungeon wich looks kooler but th sword i have is better
How do i glamour it on ?
Then get some glamour prisms which are easy to get then right click
have you done the glamour unlock quest in Vesper Bay?
You do need to unlock glamour in vesper bey first
Yes
then it's just a matter of right clicking your better weapon
press glamour
then select the weapon you like the look of from the menu that pops up
It'll cost a glamour prism but the unlock quest should give some
What happens with the glamour weapon that goes on my weapon
Does it stay in inventory ?
Yep
So you can basically buy something for glamour, then sell it again if you want ?
it spiritbonds so you can't sell it on the marketboard (though that weapon couldn't be sold there anyway)
is there a way to check prices on other servers without having to check one by one?
is it possible to de glamour an item?
Yes
yes by using a glamour dispeller
Oh you answered my question when i asked it xD
and if it is deglamed does it get destroyed?
No

is there a way to check prices on other servers without having to check one by one?
there are some websites that would keep tabs on that but they aren't always up to date and there is a kupo bot command for it. I frankly don't remember the website or command
were any of those yes answering me
Just removes the glamour
nope, meant me
whats the command for update countdown?
@tidal yarrow found that command. Try something like "!market aether Good King Moggle Mog XII orchestrion roll" in #kupo-bot-spam
what is an easy way to get some better ilevel gear at 50?
yes
if you finished the base game story you can buy ironworks gear at Mor Dhona which is ilvl 120
also your level 50 job quest gives ilvl 90 gear
i see, what about accesories? those are mainly dragging down my ilvl
ironworks accessories
thanks
Is it literally impossible for Wildfire to crit?
How does u make your hp bar bigger?
Settings -> hud
Click the Hp bar and then the detailed settings icon
Should allow for scaling
Does materia scale down/not work in level synced content? Say I'm doing a roulette and I have a bunch of big CH and DH materia, will I always DH/crit ?
He is a snail
town?
probably meant toon
Materia is turned off when you're synced
is it possible that the only way to kill sand bat for hunting log is cutters cry dungeon?
And completely ignored
The GCD in XIV is longer because there is a much, much larger off-GCD aspect of each class's kit
Ah that's a shame, ty Vinyl
Its why people used old BiS for ultimates (primarily Alexander) cause you.lose those substats
for example, summoner has a 2.4 or so second GCD because its opener expects you to put 2 actions between each GCD in its opener for about 7 GCDs
Just do the main story quest and you'll get a mount somewhere at lvl 20
@tidal yarrow Yes. In the later levels, hunt log targets can be in dungeons.
@tidal yarrow yes they’re only in that dungeon
why everything arr related is so painfully bad
Because its the start and the devs were learning
How do I dye the level 80 artifact gear?
Dyeable lv80 af gear is from Memoria EX
^ a trial from the relic questline of Shadowbringers
which in of itself requires the Stormblood 24-man completed
High end duty right?
@vivid wolf yes like his running feel sluggish
Seems simple enough.
Idk if is that wow toons move faster but even in mounts I feel slow
why i have no sound ingame
Like tanking dungeons and I'm like hitting sprint on cd just to be quicker
nvm
uh so i'm currently in the area in stormblood with lots of water and can now do swimming can i swim under from the surface or do i need to go to that underwater place and leave onto the ocean floor from there?
is there a way to easily identify someone's class without looking at their weapons in the open world?
asking for aetherial mimicry reasons
Mounts also peogresst in speed after certain points
Tbf dungeons are slow since there is a lot of action going on
@hallow bloom you can dive in any deep enough water body yes
how?
You need to unlock diving first
Usually a single sprint is enough take you from fight a to fight b in an alliance raid
After that, it's Ctrl + Space on keyboard, don't know about controller
is there a way to easily identify someone's class without looking at their weapons in the open world?
@nova umbra you can Examine them
ah of course facepalm
diving on controller is just Circle button
forget I ever asked anything
or look down, go forward
i'm used to it just being point camera down in most games (that allow diving at least...)
don't think look down go forward works unless you're flying
ye
If you're flying you just hit the water at a vertical angle and you automatically dive
how much space does the ARR takeup? I forget. I installed on a SSD and my dock is currently hooked up to my Wii U with a different SSDi in it 😄
Isn't it like 40GBs?
the full install?.
46.2 GB
oh. not bad.
at least on mine. i miiight have reshade profiles saved in there as well (which don't take up too much space tbh)
I guess I just have to sacrifice time for a patch. the internal SSD on this laptop is 250 GB
are there guides or general tips for playing BLM below 80? None of the rotation guides etc I can find are helpful since they all require end-game spells
!faq blmleveling
theres a new rotation every 10 levels
oh nice
it sucks
So for the crafting classes, do they all give skills needed?
they do now, yes
thanks vinyl
Or can I just go straight to ishgard
you should go straight to ishgard
your crafter job quests do give valuable skills
so do those
Oh ok thats what I was talking about
i did leves to 50 for all of them so I have a backlog
hmmm says 52 GB on steam install.... that's before patching
sounds abotu right
follow-up question: how are you supposed to double cast flare if it uses all of your mana?
Umbral Hearts reduce MP cost
oops.... 52mb mistead
so you trade all your Umbral Hearts and use only most of your MP
and cast again
then Manafont
cast again
X potion
cast again
theres one on aether
idk about the other DCs but im sure theres one
crystal kinda makes it up as we go
Csn crit and direct hit proc at the same time ?
Yes
Ah that explains the big hit i just did
oh when?
11th
oh wow. this month?
Yes
its getting a rework so theyre delaying it until after the quest reworks
Where can I find lvl 30 and 35 Levequests for miner and botanist?
which goes live in 8 days
Big patch on August 11th ye
Where can I find lvl 30 and 35 Levequests for miner and botanist?
@lavish vortex Coerthas Central Highlands
1.0 and ARR are like, completely different types of MMOs, there's almost no comparing them
1.0 was just really really bad so they had to nuke it and pretend it never happened
sure, would be nice to watch a yt video or see a sumar y on a wiki

In the first video in our three-part series, we tell the story of how the 1.0 version of FINAL FANTASY 14 came to be. How FINAL FANTASY 11 inspired its design, the ways in which the game fell short and how Square-Enix and the development team reacted to its failure.
Noclip op...
theres a whole documentary on it
thank you
Hey, I'm a "WoW refugee" that's looking to get into FF14 this weekend, played the free trial to around ~28 before my last PC died on me
I was wondering which job I should play based on my WoW mains? Looked into a ton of vids and stuff, but can't really decide.
For ref, I mostly played Fire Mage and Arms/Fury Warrior.
it's not so much about the game but more about the developpment process and how it ended up being so bad
its pretty long but it gives you the whole picture
@magic beacon thanks!

@potent oasis there arent a whole lot of 1-to-1 translations of other WoW jobs, but Black Mage and Warrior do the same type of things
r/ffxiv: A community for fans of Square Enix's popular MMORPG "Final Fantasy XIV Online", also known as FFXIV or FF14. Starting with "A Realm …
Read this
Fair enough, I actually see a lot of close comparison between Arcane and BLM at least, so that's something I can work with as a base. SAM actually looks like it has a few shared elements with Arms Warr too
Has some class comparisons
Massive thanks for the link, didn't check into Reddit yet
I got invited into a newbie chat and damn
if I asked just a quarter of the amount I did in WoW I wouldve been flamed and blocked by 10 people already
instead I got actual nice and helpful responses?
community is really friendly here in comparison, yeah
Surprise, the community is actually nicr
Yeah, my time during the free trial period was something I still find memorable
People were patient and wanting to talk in-game, let alone out-of-game about questions I had or even just offering tips
Novice network can be really hit and miss but good to hear there's some that're helpful
yeah, the mentor system kind of sucks but you get a few gems
If you want more class comparisons, summoner starts and ends feeling like the most blessed warlock to ever exist
like, all of the specs. at once
Hello, sorry to interrupt. I wondered if anyone knows the rough time for a response from EU support. Trying to get an old account unlinked as no longer have the token.
i wouldn't be able to compare sam to anything frankly but the pacing is similar to arms i suppose
Good novice network depends on server entirely...
Im on Zodiark, we went from answering my questions to talking about the Souls Games lol
@faint flare that thread had exactly what I wanted, thank you so much
👉 ❤️
Ah thanks, seems like something to sleep on then.
I can tell you WoW is taking up to 10 days at the moment, pre corona it took a few hours, so maybe remember that
Well ive not played since before the first expansion so I can wait a little longer
SE Support is pretty notorious
the only point I'd raise for WoW players playing XIV, is there is an unfortunate number of the playerbase who will happily pin anyone identified as a wow player as a toxic hellspawn
the cure for that is easy, just dont be a dick
it's just asshats as per usual, but might not want to open with 'hi i'm a wow player' not that you would
I'm used to generalized statements being made in almost all mediums tbh, in-game I'd never make it known upfront
Im guessing they wont have deleted my account if its that old?
it's practically the same frequency of people who in wow make loud unsolicited noise that XIV is a weeb game for weebs, honestly
Don't even blame the community for it either, seeing what the WoW community's turned into
Tbf I am a weeb so I'm filling the stereotype
i really speak from a good perspective as a catgirl sitting in my player housing, yeah i guess lmao
i didnt watch anime since years
But it's a hell of a lot nicer to be playing a game that fits my themes than it is to be branded a toxic asshole
it could be a lot more weeby and its not so thats a nice thing
Also true
is it a weeb game? no . does it have weebs? yes
i expected constant weebery when leveling samurai and it turned out to be one of my favourite narratives told in a game
samurai job quests, that is
It fits the bill, but you don't have to be a weeb to enjoy it either
idk dude if i see one more G Gundam macro for Midare im gonna scream
and if push comes to shove sometimes you have to grin, bear it, and roll a catgirl
I'll just macro it to Plus Ultra instead 
aw shit here we go
for... midare? people macro every 7th gcd or so?
i plan on a G Gundam macro for GNB continuation for Bozja 1v1
wait that raises even more questions how do you macro specifically midare and not the other iajutsu
ah well lmao
Yeah, the important thing is definitely just going to be having a good time and doing my best to enjoy the game above anything else, I met one passive aggressive guy in my time on the free trial
Also wait yeah idk how that would work for Higanbana
Kinda awk to just do it back to back in an opener
Yeah as said, since outright toxicity runs a serious risk of getting you hit with the naughty stick by GMs people manifest it in Facebook-tier passive aggressiveness
Thank god
Hi guys I'm new in the game lol 27 Pgl looking for a free company to join and do the important thinks and get good advices tho grimacing
i think it's because the MSQ locks everything that people are nice. they want you to see everything so you can join them
I hate being toxic and the community in WoW pushed me to it, I just wanna have a good time and help other people do the same
Hey everyone! Just got the game the other day.. I've been playing wow for a couple of months and decided to take a break..Is it normal that ffxiv is so boring at the start?
Hey everyone! Just got the game the other day.. I've been playing wow for a couple of months and decided to take a break..Is it normal that ffxiv is so boring at the start?
@frigid isle yeah thats normal, it picks up at level 30
@frigid isle typically yes, combat is definitely slow to start
It took me a few attempts to get into it
it gets way, way better at 50 when you have your whole class starter kit
Aight I'll keep rolling then
I'll take my questions here lol.
So I got this ability that reduces enemy's minds by 5%. Is this an ability I need to slot for something, because it seems like it's for PvP?
@silk vector thats a PvE skill for reducing boss damage, very useful. PVP has its own different skills for each job,.
Pvp has completely seperate abilities
yeah pvp has a somewhat stripped/few things added moveset entirely
yeah like entirely different
it basically condenses every job to 10 buttons or so
and removes some stuff entirely like ast cards
entirely so
There's a solid chance I'm just blind but where would one acquire a lightweight tomestone for phantasmagoria weapons?
Not much but occasionally
Run E4N 4 times @halcyon glen
Interrupts yes
!faq interrupt
you collect 4 Blades of Golden Antiquity from E4N and then trade them at the Eden vendor
Yes and no, less than say, WoW, but you do use it
ah. that requires unlocking eden.
yes yes
generally anything implied to be interrupted will have a slow cast
Yeah stuff like interrupt orders are not a thing
and a blinky cast bar
Hi guys, im just trying to get started with FF14 and i cant seem to get past the free trial screen, help would be appreciated.
Tanks and Ranged get interrupts
more classes get stuns but as you're aware that can be different
Question about the online store - when I click 'confirm items to be purchased', does it ask me for payment method? or does it automatically charge my registered card?
Ranged DPS and Tanks, get Interrupt, Tanks, Melee DPS and White Mage get Stuns
yes, but as in wow some things can be interrupted that can't be stunned
and vice versa
same applies here
best early-introduction to messing with interrupts I find is haukke manor
lots of interruptibles, lots of long casts that can be stunned, lots of none of the above
Another question... People say the stroy is nice in this game,but for me it's super annoying to read the npc bubble so i always skip it. Is it possible to grasp the story just from the voiced cutscenes?
is there a reason to ever have scathe on your bars as blm?
not really, and no
yeah, most of the important story is in the voiced cutscenes, but there is value in the speech bubbles
scathe only has use when you maybe can't cast anything else before the target dies, or I guess you're forced to move for an extended time
For extreme niche cases but you'll rarely use scathe
but really no
you can adjust the size of the speech bubbles to make em bigger and less annoying
scathe is generally described as 'don't do this'
similar levels of 'don't do this' as B1/2
Ok, I'll try
in a normal, not cutscene bubble, right click and increase size to like 140%
if your eusing controller you gotta use the Virtual Mouse
@leaden ginkgo that's the common anti-fraud error. look into using a different browser, using your phone, turning off vpn
Use Scathe if you won't have time to cast anything else before the boss leaves, that's it. Even using it over nothing can be detrimental because it could make you lose a Fire IV spell
once you get into the expansions where more stuff is voiced
you can figure out most of the story from that
talk to a normal NPC and it should let you adjust
answering my own question, it asks you for payment methods afterwards
@violet star ill give that a shot, Thanks
So, bit of an odd question: I owned the base game for FF14 previously (gifted through Steam), but I'm looking to effectively start over without the base game, so that I can play the free trial. Am I just up a creek without a paddle and forced to start with a new email + Square Enix acc?
Shoot, can I at least close out this account and open a new one with the same email in any way?
@faint talon so i did that and i got this.
🤷♂️
idk if you can close an account
Hm, I'll check a bit further into it, appreciate the info regardless
im pretty sure that i dont have an account
Hmm
"registered'
Got my answer, unfortunately you can't re-use the e-mail, so I'd have to open a new one if I wanted to do it
Also, it is possible to cancel an acc
new emails for every game is the way to go anyway
Looks like I'll be down $15 
hm I just purchased a bunch of minions on the online store and they weren't sent to my delivery moogle... :/
Nope, we keep those consolidated
I received the other goods, just no minions
i got it working, i can play online with my friends on the free trail right?
you can but you cant join a FC or have a friends list
If the minions are account-wide then they'll take a bit longer
you can't invite them to a party
so how does this work
do i need to buy the game to unlock those features or a subscription
Thanks all, they were account wide so I'll wait!
yeah, you have to have the game to use social functions
they can invite you to a party tho
do i need this one?
Take part in an epic and ever-changing FINAL FANTASY as you adventure and explore with friends from around the world.The starter edition is perfect for newcomers as it includes the award-winning FINAL FANTASY XIV: A Realm Reborn experience and lets you begin your adventure as ...

have they confirmed that 5.3 yokai event will include previous event's weapons?
yes they have

I'm relatively new to the game.. what is the way to make more room in your armoury chest? I would hope to avoid having to sell things just to make space..
yeah theres an armoire that can store certain items
you can desynthesize items for materials
Retainers
or trade them into your GC for currency
You'd want to hang on to unique/event type items though, no?:
retainers also have their own inventory and gear slots
you can just put them into the armoire and get them out when you want
Event items can typically go in the armourie
Cool
I imagine that people playing for years have quite a lot of stuff
if I play on console and switch to pc can I remain to same account?
Does buying a house give you more storage space?
No
woah
do i need this one?
@leaden ginkgo yeah you need at least the base game to use social functions yourself
all the mog stuff o.o
You can only store furniture in houses
if I play on console and switch to pc can I remain to same account?
@tidal yarrow yeah same account
ahh oki It sounded so wrong
so i found this one. if i buy that how long would i be able to play without paying monthly? https://www.cdkeys.com/final-fantasy-xiv-14-online-complete-edition-inc-shadowbringers-pc-cd-key
lol
yes you can have a console license of the game and a pc license of the game but you'll need to buy the game again
its just a bundle of every dlc
but you have to buy the PC version of the game sepparately
okay got it
so i found this one. if i buy that how long would i be able to play without paying monthly? https://www.cdkeys.com/final-fantasy-xiv-14-online-complete-edition-inc-shadowbringers-pc-cd-key
@leaden ginkgo you get 30 days free
gotcha
Can anyone help me im in voice chat i have a question..
dont know if that site is legit
it is dont worry
yeah buy it from the SE website
i buy all my games there
fr
oh nvm
only scenario in which it'd be preferable on steam is if you have a wallet income via trading and the like
that one is a few dollars cheaper
since you could use steam funds to buy expacs/time
i have around 30 bucks on steam so that would be nice
I used my steam funds to buy DLC for the PS4 version because it's the only option that lets me pay with Paypal ;p
feels like I'm laundering money
@leaden ginkgo are you in EU?
yup
its a MOG station key or smth
they all use mog station
but it has the same picture as the one on the SE store
and i don't think i've ever seen a 3rd party seller sell steam keys
Would be pretty strange for them to do so
Especially not specifically labelled
because that would be asking for trouble
im getting kinda confused
Steam licenses cant be used on non-steam accounts, and vice versa
so if i buy that key ill get it on MOG station ?
there's a windows license and a steam license of the game
no
mog station is for managing all ff14 account related stuff
for all platforms
the only difference is that steam doesnt go on sale as often
I'd personally never recommend Steam just based on the questions we get in this channel.
but if you buy on windows you're locked to windows and if you buy on steam you're locked to steam
for FF14, anyway
so it wont matter if its steam or windows sotore
it matters for buying dlc and stuff
you can't use windows dlc on steam
and you can't use steam dlc on windows
the key includes 4 dlcs
you just have to use the same store, whichever one you choose
I mean, buying 3rd party keys is shady to begin with
this site is legit tho
eh if it's from legit sellers like greenmangaming its fine
i literaly bought 43 games on cdkeys and i never got scammed cuz its legit
up to you
ok i'm just saying it doesnt tell you whether its on steam or windows
do it if you want
and you're locked to one or the other
Can I safely turn stuff into glamour? Or does that mean I can't revert it back to regular equipment? Sorry - new to this.. I bought some cool attires on the Store and want to see if I can equip it as glamour
Anyone here play Mahjong?
yes you can take stuff out of your glamour dresser which turns it back into a normal piece of gear @shell walrus
mog station stuff is purely for glamour use tho
Anyone here play Mahjong?
@leaden ginkgo yeah whats up
@magic beacon Oh nice. I'm still just learning to play. Are familiar with every rule of the game?
I know basic rules 
im kind of a beginner but i understand the rules
Thanks @remote lintel
I think I understand the rules lol. But I keep losing at the novice table
a lot of it is luck of the draw
yeah like a few times a week ill sit down and just hammer out some games
tryna get better
im out of sub time atm but i for sure would
For riichi in particular you want to try to win with as much of your hand hidden as possible
Both of you guys are on different data centers too
lol this guys bout to hussle me for all my MGP lol
i dont think you can play with people from different DCs
jk, jk
Need 4 triplets or sequences, 1 pair and 1 or more yaku for a winning hand
but I'm sure there's other ways
like 7 pairs is a thing
you can also make a bet if youre close to winning and hope someone else puts down your winner tile
You can jump to a diff DC at any time though, right?
no you gotta pay to jump DCs
No, only between servers
No you can't
Not without paying
I heard it's best to steal a tile near the end of the game, is that right?
which ARR EX fight is most representative of the rest of the MSQ?
Money is required
well if youre stealing tiles you get 3 chances per round instead of 1 draw
@vivid thorn what do you mean, EX fights are never required
None of the exs are required
which ARR EX fight is most representative of the rest of the MSQ?
@vivid thorn King Mog EX
because its a cluster f
@magic beacon what's your char name?
it may not be required by the MSQ proper, more like which EX has the most mechanics susceptible to return in later MSQ fights
ohhh, like for practice?
most mechanics pop up in later stuff here and there, its hard to say
Uhhh msq rarely has mechanics that are of difficulty
I think I lack the skill required to get through the HW MSQ
No you dont
But arr exs didn't solidify how the game represents mechanicz through markers
The story is east
nah you got this jess jess
There's nothing difficult in it
The markers start being consistent end of heavensward
maybe a little research on your rotations and toolsets and youll be fine

After I have finished Sycrus tower will the alliance raid questlines continue presumably into HW alliances? Or is it an entirely new quest line that starts?
New quest line for hw
Ah okay
There's one more after Syrcus Tower though, if thats what you're currently doing
Each raid is its own series
Trying to catch up on all this old content I somehow missed between ARR and SB >.<
Which potion do you usualy use for healing hp at level 80?
@leaden ginkgo None? Almost nobody uses healing potions for anything other than niche situations (POTD solo, etc.)
The only real potions that see usage at 80 are stat potions for raiding, and low-level mana pots for BLM's who want to do an extra flare because flares are cool.
Ethers are also sometimes used by healers in prog
Can a piece of gear that is class restricted be used as glamour by any class? (i.e. tank gear able to be projected on RDM equipment, or BLM/THM only gear able to be projected to any other class)
No
I am getting panic attacks over HW...
Aww, well thanks anyway
I want to start playing through steam but I don't know how the subscription will work
Only glamour equippable by your current class will display.
Which potion do you usualy use for healing hp at level 80?
@leaden ginkgo none, potions at lv 80 are used to buff your main stat
Will I have to create a new account and somehow link it to steam
When do they usually drop info on 6.0
or can I use my old account?
One couple months before or?
You’d need a new account to play on steam
If you’re currently playing on PC without Steam, then playing through Steam will require a completely new account, new payment, new character
I wouldn’t recommend it as there’s no meaningful advantage to switching
Ok thanks
for some reason I feel I need to get an EX fight down before going into HW
@acoustic lichen usually happens at the fanfests but with the first two being cancelled and the third one likely getting the same fate it’s unknown for sure how they’ll tell us
Jess - you really don't. try not to sweat it
Lemme double check
Nov 6-7 was original US date
I always thought it was a summer thing
My bad
Guess got a lot of waiting then
I’m seeing so many prediction videos and it’s still 3 months away earliest
all we know for sure is that US fan fest has been cancelled. JP and EU fests are still up in the air
eu was cancelled.
Guess they will just drop the info online in November
Well they’ve expressed a desire to maybe reschedule both NA and EU for later
With new expac path In early 2021?
But who knows
i hope so, Lyon!
Actually my bad
i saw one rumor about having some sort of online fan fast
fest* - not sure how that would work
gotcha
if I was able to get an EX fight down before HW starts, I would no longer need to worry about skill
because dungeons =/= trials
Carry on the story
You’re not likely to get a party for level 50 extremes that aren’t unsynced anyway
Meaning you’re not gonna actually learn much or experience difficulty in them
for now, I may have the gear but I do SCH as a main, SMN as a secondary
but once the gear is in order, skill is still the issue
I just got to new city, first time playing, is it worth doing all side quests in new city or just carry on with main storyline?
@chilly kettle No
@vivid thorn Aye, though I severely doubt anyone with half a brain is unskilled enough for the HW story dungeons
Sure ya might die a few times, but who cares?
Just a "Hey, first time here!" in party chat should ward off any animosity your tank might have. May even convince them to pull smaller or actually wait for your shields
Eh, even so, Ravana and Bizzy ain't too scary
Ravana just make sure all the adds are dead and nothing bad should happen and Bismark just follow the party.
The last trial of HW is way more intimidating than it actually is because it absolutely did not hold up well vs the item level increase
They unlock the next parts of Eureka
They’re mandatory if you want to continue with Eureka
There are three more full zones to get through
Yes
If I set my headgear to 'hide', does that affect how others see me?
Yes
neat
The advice I got earlier for the UI layout on AST really, really worked well. Thanks for that, AST just got super fun
Ehm, how heavly impacted (if any at all) is the chooice between imortal flames, twin adder and Maelstorm? 😒
Not that one, but that will require way more crystals anyway @white sinew
Mostly aesthetic
@loud fjord entirely cosmetic
!faq grandcompany
tyty
Which Grand Company should I choose?
The only differences between the three Grand Companies are the looks of the equipment and where they're located. The story doesn't change in regards to the Grand Company you chose beside the quest that comes after "The Company You Keep". Here are two links leading to sample sets from each of the Grand Companies
Maelstrom
Twin Adders
Immortal Flames
How do I get Grand Company Seals?
You can get more seals mainly by completing your Grand Company Hunting Log (Go to the Hunting Log and click on the GC icon), completing FATEs, and turning in crafted/gathered items to the Personnel Officer if you have crafting or gathering classes unlocked. Once you are Sergeant 2nd Class you can turn in Pink/Green/Blue-rarity gear in for more seals.
It does decide where you need to go for your weekly turn-ins
@white sinew no they give different crystals
And what company glamours you can pick up
AF3 dyeable upgrade is purely in Anemos
For efficient turn-ins, choose anything except the Maelstrom
For the best glams, choose the Maelstrom
so like wtf am i suppose to do when i need to go to a spot to turn in a quest but it wont let me cause its congested... :/
what does that even mean
Congested?
I can't get into the firmament in ishgard, is there an update for the restoration or something going on?
No areas are congested
Ive never heard of such a thing
Are you on your home world
it wasnt letting me teleport it kept canceling and telling me it was too congested
im getting this
Where?
What in the world
waht versoin you playing? PS4?
pc
Im on pc
on my home world
Where are you two trying to teleport to?
That’s extremely bizarre
I...can't imagine why it's congested but...
I've never heard of that happening there
^
Bot surge
Aw rip
The only time it gets congested is if something just came out there or a fate is going to happen or something
Which none should apply
But yeah this is kinda
Unprecedented for a time like this
So... don’t have any answer for you except to wait until later
Nexus weap best way to farm light?
What the Aetheryte closest to a market board in the game?
if I really want to halt the MSQ for an EX primal, may as well make sure I choose the one that best represents the rest of the MSQ
how does one increase their craftsmanship rating?
ahh
Or melding materia
Is it different for each server?
like wearing or producing
Wearing
Each server has its own firmament
gotcha gotcha
@vivid thorn I recommend you don’t do that
It's a class, it works like a class Osh
So presumably you could try another worlds Firmament
Ill try somewhere else then
...
No Bal
The rest of the game will be better reflected by continuing the story
No?
You can't go to other server's restoration
Cuz I was in adamantoise
Nexus weapon light farm best way?
You used to be able but then everyone would invade other server's restoration for fate scrips and everyone got pissed off
Hah, figures
I just got kicked from the game and it says I can't log back in.
what exactly does it say
now it sasy "12 people online" before that the cue was 16
Just wait out the queue.
That's....pretty normal
That message just means there's a lot of people online right now.
ugh. 9002 error
E_E
it let me in then kicked me
9002 is a connection to server error, isn't it?
I don't remember
Try quitting out of the entire game and the launcher, then restarting it.
90002 is
oops sorry din't count all the zeross
yeah 90k means ya disconnected from the server
an hour or so ago I was playing on PS4
I usually get a 90002 when my internet goes out.
So, can someone give me the TL;DR on how Augmenting the Neo-Ish is gonna work? Ive never been around for that process before (or more accurately, it was never relevant to me)
How do i get back to the area for shadowbringers relic weapons?
As someone new to dark knight, and indeed tanking in general. Is there a good reference I can turn to for help aquainting myself?
!faq tankguide
hmmm i am online talking to y'alll 😄
Either use the aethernet in the Doman Enclave to go to Gagnos, or speak to the ferry in the same @rare karma
Spend phanta for these items and trade the crafted gear for tokens then exchange items and token for upgraded version @simple shore
Ok thx
@mossy wadi Discord is not nearly as sensitive to things like packet loss or ping spikes as FF14 is.
Also the connection would be routed a different way?
Yes that too
I had no luck trying to form a static or a PF for EX primals
Speed test isnt going to tell you much
yeah because no one in their right mind does synced primals anymore
If its shit, it tells you your connection is shit as a whole. If its normal, it tells you nothing because all it means is that you have a good connection to the place you speed tested.
@vivid thorn I would highly recommend disregarding the ex primal thing and continuing the story
You’re not doing yourself any favour really
I see PFs occasionally for old synced primals/Coil, but I imagine they take a while to fill
@vivid thorn You can always go back later and solo the EX primals unsynced.
they're not really fun content for most people
Normally the first thing i'll do if i suddenly get connection problems to ff14 is do something like a ping -n 100 google.com and seeing if im getting massive packet loss or something real obvious like that.
They’re kinda
how can i browse paladin glamour 
FF14 is particularly sensitive to packet loss. Anything above 3% is basically unplayable.
Old design that doesn’t fully reflect how fights are designed nowadays
As stated, that tells us nothing.
What we're trying to explain to you is that the issue isn't with your internet speed, necessarily.
okay. I get that.
I know in UO you're allowed to ping the serverss....... are you allowed to in FFXIV?
The issue is that, for some reason, you're probably having packet loss spikes which are specifically interfering with your connection to the FFXIV servers.
You can. The IPs are out there.
Pretty sure there's a kupo bot command for the servers
I purchased the game on steam but still I can't use the Hrothgar or Viera
idk what it is though
do i need to have a specific dlc to use them or?
Someone who has all that shit memorized can trigger it
@warm aspen Did you purchase the Shadowbringers expansion as well as the base game?
nope
That' why
Ok, thanks
168 is....not optimal. Also i would do more than 5. 5 is too small to give any sort of consistent result.
err, 4 even
Are you pinging a datacenter or something else?
Send more packets.
So what does the venture Field Exploration I do?
uh, what's the key combo to biing up steam menu in game?
90006 this time
I don't have to pay for a sub if they don't want me to play I guess. lolz
Repeatedly triggering the error doesnt really tell you anything.
And "they" probably have nothing to do with it
before it was a 90002
If you're getting kicked out repeatedly, its almost certainly internet connection related
!faq datacenterip
List of IP Addresses for each Datacenter
Aether: 204.2.229.9
Primal: 204.2.229.10
Crystal: 204.2.229.11
Chaos: 195.82.50.9

Mana: 124.150.157.156
Gaia: 124.150.157.157

how do I ping the IP?
Windows: Open Command Prompt and type ping *insert IP Address here*
Mac: Open Terminal and type ping *insert IP Address here*
@leaden ginkgo goes and siphons items from the abyss for 18 hours. Mostly used for levelling up the retainer since the items themselves are worthless.
if you're having connection difficulties
consider the use of a VPN
also its likely your routing to the servers
probably an issue at a certain node
that has nothing to do with the game
okay.... what date center is excalibur?
just means your ISP is stupid
what do you think 
excalibur is primal
Yeah so i'd suggest you do in your situation is -
ping -n 100 204.2.229.10
and see what your average MS is as well as any packet loss
OH.... I don't directly pay for the internet.... my lanlord charges me $30 for cable/ internet
got higher ping, 172 ms now with 100 packets 
Reply from 204.2.229.10: bytes=32 time=92ms TTL=44
Mickey just wait for it to finish
oh........... okay....
What the highest resolution that ff can handle without cutscenes being in 4:3
At the end it'll tell you what the average MS was as well as Sent/Recieved/Lost
@halcyon glen So early on I should just be doing that instead of the 1 hour ventures?
it went away..... I put the command suggested in the search bar for windows
I tend to do the 1 hour ventures while I'm online and when I know I'm about to get off I send them on the long venture @leaden ginkgo

@mossy wadi do Windows-R, and in the dialogue that comes up, type cmd and then hit okay
Then put the command into the command prompt window
the one i gave you above
open command prompt
Why does he need to ping the IP?
This is a glamour related question, does anyone know what clothes does "Broken Mountain" or Curius George's brother from the Warrior quests wears?
Does the whm need another class besides the cnj?
@leaden ginkgo because we're seeing if he's having connection problems to the DC or something else.
Nope
Ah
So just cnj 30?
@frigid cedar look it up through garland tools
they usually have all the npc details
That's perfect, thanks @halcyon glen
Hunting = I need something specific
Field Exploration = I ain't touching this for a while, go get exp
Quick Exploration = R A N D O M S T U F F
Quick Exploration = go steal shit from peoples housing
Where can I find lvl 45 Levequests for miner and botanist?
So once I reach lvl 80 I should just do Hunting?
If I play dark knight do I have to start from level 1?
Nope 30
Can I have multiple professions,as in: carpenter,leatherworker etc.?
it depends on what your goal is @leaden ginkgo
Quick if you dont need something specific. Hunting if you do. More or less.
basically yeah ^
Quick can bring back alot of rare shit
like, really rare shit
.uh.... it went away. said it was pinging and its gone..?
@frigid isle yes
but keep in mind quick ventures can also just bring you back shitty fish
Hahaha
Wat
You may have all jobs on one character
I'm remembering an old webcomic about this topic....
So I should pick all the starting "So you want to be..." quests right?
I mean if you want
quick ventures are random in what they can bring back, and as you get higher in level and ilvl the pool gets bigger
Know that the weapons can clog your inventory tho
You can get things like nidhogg scale, or you can a bunch of fish
as I discovered very unceremoniously
Having exclamation marks on the map triggers me
oh you're gonna hate this game
@frigid isle The best way to do it is to only pick up the "So You Want to Be A ___" quest for the job(s) that you're interested in leveling right now.
You'll learn to tune out the ones that you aren't interested in starting yet.
With the exception of the crafters/gatherers
as it's recommended to do them ALL at once
except like fishing cause no one cares about fish
^
I dont get it.... I tried to get a ping twice ....
Did you manually open a command prompt
and then AFTERWARDS put in the ping command?
@open coral Thank you. @halcyon glen That's one of the reasons I get bruned within the first 10 hour of every game cause I do every single quest
Fisher and Culinarian are both basically independent. The rest of the DoH/DoL are pretty much wrapped up in one another.
@frigid cedar Garlandtools says Bravura, and the full Fighter's set
oh whoops my chat just scrolled
sorry
yes. I did windows + R and it did something
Ok,good to know ty
i told ti go ping.
how often do people get panic attacks over the MSQ?
it repeated the same message a bunch of times.....
Like, full blown actual panic attacks? Not... often?
Window-R. type in CMD and hit enter. This should bring up the command prompt. in the command prompt box type the command i gave you originally
what cause the panic attack 

also, Broil vs Ruin: when to use each of these?
Broil and Ruin share the same spell slot iirc.
Once you have Broil it should replace Ruin I iirc?
Use them when you have them.
Ruin II, on the other hand, should be used when you need to move
ruin 1 eventually gets replaced by broil. if you're talking ruin 2, then you use ruin 2 for movement/weaving
broil is your main filler spell
Does anyone know where the starting quest line for fishing is?
limsaaaa
@mossy wadi That looks fine to me. So its not a connection issue to the DC.
Gon' get mah family sum dinner
okay then
Is there a list of unlockable raids and their locations to start the unlocking thereof? never unlocked any of them because I didn't know they were a thing, depriving me a roulette D:
Alliance raids, or Normal raids?
Normal
Ruin II has no cast time and thus you can safely throw it out while you're running around or you can use it to "weave" your abilities that are off the global cooldown - your Aetherflow stuff
@vivid thorn
You can ignore the Binding Coil of Bahamut. Those aren't in roulette.
So that leaves something else interfering with your connection. TL;DR - reboot your PC as a standard "yeah you've heard it before but it does get rid of alot of stupid problems" option and see if its still doing that after. Could be any number of issues at this point and best to eliminate the vast swath by doing that.
I'm pretty sure I remembered to turn off the gaem on PS4 before I told it to go into rest mode....
What food should a gnb be eating before a copied factory run?
eating food for CF would be.....a meme
For CF, not noticeable, tbh
Ok thanks
What raids do people eat food for then?
savage and ultimate
Food is for one of two things - either for the 3% xp buff, or for Savage progression
Savage/Ult
Ohh ok
i'll just take my kb and mouse from my desktop and plug em into the PS4 I guess 😄
Same question, how big is food? Is it like, a few DPS extra and it's just squeezing?
.....that varies
Or is savage without food a real bad idea?
its less about the dps increase sometimes and more about the padding the extra HP gives you
Some jobs BIS is specifically set up that they hit their SkS/SpS tier based on food.
When is the first time your encounter a tank buster?
So it can make a significant difference
I know titan HM has a tank buster, I don't know if it's the first
Tanks are a pretty good example of this
Is sky builders spring water rare to find? Im in providence point and I can't find any nodes.
it's usually not a super significant thing but since unlike pots it lasts for 30m (which can be longer with FC or squadron buffs) it's generally just good practice to have food up for savage. And yeah, it can help hit certain speed tiers for various jobs
when you keep in mind the duration the cost is pretty minimal, even if you just straight up buy from mb
All the tanks use SkS food as part of their BIS. Missing that last hit in your Blood Weapon on DRK, for example, feels real bad.
Hmkay, so it's not like not using food is the equivalent of missing a ring or something
10%hp alone is very good
it can be a pretty big deal early on in a tier
not all tanks you can run a perfectly fine WAR set without using sausages, using cabbage instead
@signal garnet Sounds like you’re looking for the grade 1 stuff. That doesn’t exist anymore. All Skybuilder’s items are gathered in Diadem now.
GNB/DRK/PLD can all be played with the same setups. WAR's like gotta go fast and have gear that doesnt work right for everyone else
lol
cabbage is like the generic food that you can't really go wrong with
Ah ok. Looking to start leveling miner so I was gonna start doing some ishgard quests
And them potions, how significant are those? Usable outside savage content?
also gotta get that 2.36 recast :^)
Right right. Just start in Diadem and grab what you can. Then don’t forget to get the stuff appraised for score.
"Usable"? Sure. Wasteful though.
Not cheap then?
they add a bit but it's usually not like make or break. Early prog if you're just barely pushing past dps checks. Or when you're trying to get a good parse
Nobody is gonna use a stat pot outside of savage/ult except for the parses/memes
they're not too expensive but since you end up using more than one per run they eat up gil a lot faster than food
and outside of like, a static environment where they might not be lining up buffs as well, you're not going to get as much out of a pot either
I can imagine just chugging potions from two expansions ago during leveling or something
even thats not really worth
@white ether DRK starts at 30
Its pretty much "i want to get that 99+ parse on this random not-savage/ult fight" material
Hmkay, so the function of potions really ties in with raid buff alignments and isn't too interesting on its own
pretty much yes
Pretty much
And food is just a but a cute buff at any level, cept for that it can be used to barely hit a next skill tier
alternatively it's for a extra swoll personal dps burst (which in 95% of content is completely meaningless since once you're at the personal skill level to really need pots for more dps you'll probably be ready to learn ex or savage content)
Well, food gives a not-insignificant HP bonus too. You should always eat food in savage/ult. SkS/SpS tier is also a factor, on top of the other secondaries you might get. But outside of savage/ult, the only real use for food on combat jobs is the exp bonus. Which is what Boiled Egg exists for.
for food I'd consider it as a "if you're doing savage/ultimate you should have that, there's not really a reason not to" but outside of that it's pretty whatever
like I mentioned, early on in the tier when you don't have as much gear, that bit of extra HP by itself can already be a pretty significant deal, even if the stats themselves aren't huge
(food) or take an otherwise lethal hit X| (cough, eggnog ex synced run where I ate aoe + tether with maybe 800 hp to spare)
If you're doing savage/ultimate absolutely have food
later on when you get more gear it's less of a big deal but it's still something that's relatively cheap and easy to have up, so you really should
^
Yeah, but if you're below 80, which food is irrelevant
yes
hence Boiled Eggs
I suggest rasins
Mostly yes
I mean... yes
Ouch
I also do boiled eggs because it's the cheapest thing for helping spawn bronies (central thanlan)
Do these
do these sometimes
