fire 1 has a use
Fire 1 remains
I must've missed it.
fire 2 is useless
Fire is still here through 80
At 80, it's skill speed until you're at ~2.4 GCD, then crit>DHit>Det
fwiw The Balance says... Yep that
But Fire 2, Blizz 1, Blizz 2 - all dead spells
I assume its safe to take F2 B1 and B2 off my bars
you use Fire 1 in between your Fire4 spam to refresh astral fire buff
or well at least shift them into a lower position
You will still need them when synced down
@remote lintel that's perfect. Thanks.
right fair
If you never do low level content with it again, sure
For leveling roulettes and such
It might be smart to put them on a sidebar so you can swap them in
SkS to your preferred GCD -> crit -> dh -> det for pally @blazing crest
2.40 is recommended at level 80
Well
all jobs are good, right?
eh, it makes sense
That wouldnt make any sense really
4 are single target
Fire 2 -> Flare would kind of make sense
theyre just different spells
@keen fable yes
Blizz 2 -> Freeze would make ALOT of sense
Yes, all jobs are (mostly) good
wdym
Blizz 2 -> Freeze would make ALOT of sense
@simple shore yeah but they cant do that because B2 is a THM skill and Freeze is a BLM only skill
I mean, they can
thanks, 1.0
With a trait they could
They just dont want to code for the trait doing that
it'll probably happen next xpac
SE works in mysterious ways
do not look at the devs behind the curtain
Can you customize your character later?
Ok. Thanks. Wasnt sure if I'd be locked into the same hairstyle forever lol
Thanks for the info
At level 50, when you beat the climax of 2.0, you get a fantasia that lets you change race and gender
Those usually cost $10
But the aesthetician is a few gil, if anything
That's cool. I wanted to see the last 3 races but the game wouldn't let me check them out. Why was that?
You need the expansions installed for those
I bought the copy with all of them. Wonder why it didnt install.
2000 gil but that’s a pittance once you’re past like level 25 ish usually
Its PS4 if that matters
Sometimes the installations get broken into two for some reason
How many quests is post hw?
That's good to hear. I dont mind having the same stuff for awhile.
About 40
Beats 100 any day
I wouldn’t be surprised if next time you tried to log in it prompted the expansion download
But all of them are much more relevant than post ARR
You see the effect of them almost immediately
Ah ok
Yeah post-HW is much better-paced and story-dense, without the filler
Shouldn’t feel like a slog
how do you unlock elemental set +2 for the glow effects? do i have to craft +1s first before i get to see the +2 option from artisan in hydatos? i can only see him selling +1 and i want to do the try on options on +2
So if i want two different glamours on two different classes i would have to buy a whole new set of gear?
Where can i find the moogle beast tribe to buy the gear i was told of? my mining is 51 now
@tulip plover or save two glamour plates and change them as you change back and forth
@tulip plover can simply use the glamour dresser plates
What do glamour plates do
Save a glamour to apply to your current gear
Can attach a plate to a gear set so that switching jobs automatically switches glamour plate
!faq glamourdresser
"What is the Glamour Dresser?"
The Glamour Dresser allows you to glamour an entire set of equipment at once when in a city or town. You can find the dresser in your inn room at any of the Adventurer's guilds.
"How do I use it?"
In order to use the Glamour Dresser you need to first put the items you want to use for glamour inside of it. This requires a one-time cost of one Glamour Prism per item. You're able to safely take out the items, but you'll need to pay another Glamour Prism to put it back into the Dresser. After you have put in the glamour items you want to use for your set you'll want to click on "Edit Glamour Plates".
When the plate window opens up you can select the stored glamours you have onto the slots of the plate to create the set you desire. Once you're satisfied with your glamour click on "Save". You can now apply your Glamour Plate by accessing the Character menu, clicking the Glamour Plate button, and choosing the Plate that you have made.
Ohhh ok that makes things easier
@zinc kelp IIRC, you need to unlock all 56 logos actions
Where can i find the moogle beast tribe, I'm at The Churning Mists in Zenith like i was told
And Jakey, the moogle beast tribe requires a long chain of pre-requisite quests
ah rip
i was told to go here to buy gear for my miner
is there any other gear i can get?>
at 51
Hay guys if I’m a black mage can I become a samurai @50
or should i just do the quest chain
@zinc kelp +1 and +2 have identical appearances
You can buy gear in Ishgard
@leaden ginkgo just buy vendor gear at Jewelled Crozier in Ishgard. Its not worth the effort to do what you're doing
@exotic grail you can if you have Stormblood installed
It only requires a combat job at 50
Is it worth it in the long run to do this? I want to become an omnicrafter but im not sure where to start
so ive been mining
Platt thanks
but ty ill buy ishgard gear for now
Moogles give a ton of exp to crafter jobs, so they're worth doing daily
Alright i'll def work on unlocking it then
It is slower than leves, but not as mind numbing since it's only 3 per day, also not sure how they stack up to Ishgard
I was told the gear can carry me for a while
Gatherers realistically dont need to care about that
Buy vendor gear at 51, 61, 71 and that'll get you all the way to 80
And remember to unlock weekly deliveries, they are stupid amounts of exp and gives yellow scrips for basically free gear
can i do levequests as a level 80 class then claim the reward on a different class?
No
dang
I feel like the item’s quality is increasing super slowly when I try to craft a level 64 item (using level 68-71 gear) Weaver is level 71. What could be wrong? I could never reach 100% HQ without running out of CP
Probably a wrong rotation
What is the item you're trying to craft
and what are your current Craftsmanship/Control/CP
I use inner quiet then waste not, then spam basic touch
1163 Craftsmanship
1054 control
405 CP
Trying to craft kudzu stuff for master weaver III
Is it possible to obtain Squalls gunblade?
Specific item name please
Sure, one moment
Like through the upgrade service?
Yeah one minute.
sure

@wise acorn it's in the collector's edition of Shadowbringers
Yep, in fact - I’m crafting the kudzu thread just so I can obtain master weaver III in order to progress the current weaver quest
Along with the Grani mount and Fran minion
That wad a dumb question my bad, all I had to do was just check the account settings
kk
Lol
Oof moment
where would i go to spend poetics for lv70 wrist/rings?
Rhalgr’s

However you must have completed the

However, if you want to be able to figure this out yourself, in the future - utilize ffxivteamcraft.com
Will learn from it as well, time to improve my crafting skills
Is level 50-60 heavensward
Go to the crafting simulator, enter in your stats and the item, and you can figure out how to do it.
Yes
Indeed
btw that Tricks in there is purely so that Poor cant land on Byregot's. Dont be alarmed when it says that it failed to execute that specific step.
Better question; Is there any effective method for leveling your trade job while preserving what little gil you have?
Gather your own materials
HW begins with the level 50
“Coming to Ishgard”
Makes sense to me
There will be a cutscene with enormous text in the screen: HEAVENSWARD
Can’t really miss it
Yeah yeah I know
I mean you could skip it but like don’t
If I follow msq would it make it level 60 for stormblood?
Easily
especially if preferred server
I had some slight issues with levels in HW due to dividing exp between two classes, not having road to 70, doing the entire expansion in like 4 days, and not having ever unlocked based frontline roulette
So right now I'm at level 48. Can't do the main story because I need level 50, I've done all of the high level stuff on Mor Dhona and Coerthas.. Is there something else I can do to level up quickly, or do I just have to keep doing levemetes?
Leve... no
dungeons is how i levelled
fate and highest lvl dungeon available maybe
@solar surge do your Roulettes. If you did them for the day, queue Aurum Vale
^
@mossy tartan
Is the quest the level 60 Weaver quest where you are at?
If that is the case, you don't have manipulation yet.
Replace Manipulation in Balmerick's macro with Waste Not 2 in that case.
If you havent unlocked Aurum Vale, its unlocked at Vesper Bay in Western Thanalan. Quest is named "Going for Gold"
i think aurum u have to unlcok
Leves are the worst option other than literally just grinding overworld mobs
I lied I have it
good luck in aurum
Weird, I thought they were decent. The more you know I guess
i hope your teammates like fruit
I was about to ask how you managed to get level walled at 50
But if you’re doing two classes that’ll happen
Eh, I'm mostly doing DRG, kinda strayed off of THM at 25
But yeah, a lot of my early main quests were THM, so leveled a bit slower on DRG
Probably for the best for now. You can use your time in the patches to catch THM up if you’d like
Yes, if you're already playing and liking DRG
Then staying on it for HW is a good idea
Yeah, I planned on it. I eventually want to do most of the classes, but DRG/DRK/Summoner stand out. But I'm pretty used to DRG so far, so not gonna go changing to ARC/DRK yet
is there a "meta" strategy to train desynth levels cheaply?
Not really. Just desynth everything you loot that isnt something you're using.
hmm aight
Its not like the old days where powering up desynth skill was particularly important to unlock stuff
You can desynth any item in the game from 1 skill
yeah that's fair
!faq blmleveling
ah right missed the first bit
What about it?
they all have you open single target with blizzard
Correct
couldn't you open with fire?
Nope
The reason you open with B3 is so that when you eventually F3 (after doing whatever you have to do to get there), the F3 basically costs no mana
oh so you get the most F4's out
Yes. In fact, if you're at the point where F4 is a thing
so even on dry openers you open with blizzard
@leaden ginkgo explain what you mean exactly
yeah, a node yields 4-5 ores
There's no need because you can just B3 and it sets you to 3 stack of Blizzard
and if I use some abilities, I can double that
I wonder if I can increase the amount of items a node yields with gear
ohyeah it overwrites. I keep forgetting that
Is pc and PS4 cross compatible? I'd like to play with my friend on PC if possible. I am on PS4.
@leaden ginkgo At later levels you get skills to increase yield temporarily (either for current node or only the next gathering attemp)
But they cost GP
@torpid juniper yes
Awesome. Thanks.
so GP is what I should aim for then
@leaden ginkgo kind of. At higher gear levels (and higher class levels), some nodes will have properties that will give you extra attempts or bonus yield.
@leaden ginkgo kind of. At higher gear levels (and higher class levels), some nodes will have properties that will give you extra attempts or bonus yield.
@simple shore is there a way to increase the rate at which I find those nodes? or is it completely random?
I keep forgetting that B3 and F3 respectly don't just take away an opposing stack but wipe them completely and give you stacks of thier element
You should aim for both GP (which allows you to use more skills), gathering (which increases the chance you get ore from your gathering attempts) and perception (which increases chance you'll get HQ ore)
@leaden ginkgo what level are you on miner?
I keep forgetting that B3 and F3 respectly don't just take away an opposing stack but wipe them completely and give you stacks of thier element
@marble drift it doesn't work like that, the skills themselves tell you how many shards they give
@leaden ginkgo what level are you on miner?
@simple shore 35
Okay so you have no control over it at that stage
all I have right now is an ability: King's Yield, costs 400 GP and doubles items gathered
At level 53 (after completing the level 53 quest) you will get a trait called "Stone Whisperer V". This trait allows any node that doesnt already have a condition to randomly have some condition on it. and those bonus conditions scale with your gear
oh
I should just level up then, I just wanted to be more effective with the time I invest gathering
i.e. if i go whack some low level nodes on my 80 miner, the "unlabelled nodes" might have "+3 yield" or "+2 attempts" on them after i open them
But at your level you have no control over it. The only thing you can do at your level is pick the 3 nodes that are best out of the cluster of four, and use those ones
ARR nodes are always in clusters of 4. Two will have conditions, two wont. So you want to make sure you're maximizing ones that help you out
Thus, hit the nodes with conditions and ONE of the ones without. Ignore the fourth one.
The first node will then respawn
how can I tell which ones are the good ones?
Assuming you've been doing your quests
it should literally tell you when you click on the node
yes
Stone Whisperer I-IV unlock the ability to have those conditions
i.e. "yield +1" or "HQ rate +15%" or whatever
so I just ignore the nodes that give nothing?
it should literally say that when you target it
No no no
Re-read what i said
4 nodes. 2 with conditions. 2 without. You need to be farming 3 nodes to force respawns.
yes, that's why I always end up leaving up one behind, usually the farthest one
So pick one of the non-condition nodes (ideally make it the one thats far away from the other three) and ignore it
This advice only applies until you get out of ARR. HW and onwards, nodes are in 3 clusters of two, and that strategy is a waste of time.
thank you very much
I know PS4 and PC are cross compatible but is it easy to go into voice chat?
There is no in-game voice chat
if i transfer to another world(same data center) ill lose my apartment but retain everything that's in storage/inventory right?
Ps4 has a party chat so I was hoping there would be something similar.
most PC players use Discord for that
Ok. I'll have to do that then. Thanks.
@leaden ginkgo define "storage"
I don’t understand why I can’t hand in my kudzu hat of healing to eulmore’s collectible appraiser
It says “0” in my inventory
housing storage
I don’t understand why I can’t hand in my kudzu hat of healing to eulmore’s collectible appraiser
@mossy tartan did you craft it as a collectible?
No, how can I do that?
When your crafter is high enough, you should have a skill for it that you can toggle on and off. Forgot the name unfortunately
It’s level 71 at the moment (Weaver)
!action Collectable Synthesis
is the loot at the end of the alliance raid that people roll on
per party or for all 24 people
Most of it is per-party
Per party and one big chest for all
is the 2b chests against all 24 people?
Yes
are you able to roll on the minion if you already own it?
No
@jade quartz wait really? i thought only elemental armor+2 has the glow effect? is +1 and +2 really look the same?
So do you unlock shire gear as soon as you finish base hw?
Yes
is the upcoming maintenance actually 24 hours long?
Yes
How do I disable unactive hotkeys on my hotbar?
so we lose a full day of subscription then or is that added back as an extra day?
And how do you upgrade shirr gear?
using items purchased from the same vendor and taking them to an NPC south of that building whose name i forget. Selka maybe?
Its exactly the same way ironworks functioned though, if you did that
Buy gear, buy (upgrade item), take to different NPC
Anyone playing on Shiva Server on Light datacenter? I have a bad connections since weeks. I see a red connection issue flag often on my nameplate. I already tried some VPN services and still looking for a good on - any suggestions? Or is the server in general very laggy?
Server is unlikely to be the issue.
Its going to be your internet connection / your connection to that DC
!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
Light: 195.82.50.10
Mana: 124.150.157.156
Gaia: 124.150.157.157
Elemental: 124.150.157.158
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*
Use this information to check your connection to the DC. I suggest doing :
ping -n 100 195.82.50.10
and report back here what the average MS was as well as loss %
21ms avg, 0 % loss
Okay so we know that a more...."normal" connection to the DC isnt an issue at this very moment. I assume you just had issues recently?
i tested it often. i dont see any package loss usually. for exmaple in go to lower docks its worse. i cant run a macro because everything will fail due to connection issues. also opening the market board will take seconds. other regions like stormblood areas are smooth
Interesting. If you're having problems based on where you are, then its more likely to be a PC problem rather than a connection problem.
Since its not as if those zones are operating in independent servers or anything.
Also thought about that. but no. yesterday, primetime 10pm a was in a hunt train. 50 ppl- no lag. no issues. 2 hrs before 5 ppl treasure hunt - most of the time connection issues
Well all i can say is run a test of the type i suggested simultaneous with you experiencing the issue.
If the game is choking but pings are coming back fine (make sure you're doing enough of them, the default 4 pings is not sufficient), its not strictly a connection problem most likely.
if different area loads are funky, aren't those areas he's trying to load heavier data? market, docks is city, stormblood areas a bit more ghosttown for data?
Yeah, and that could be a factor as well, but its hard to say. In any case, its not the server causing the problem, nor the DC
Or you'd see people screaming bloody murder about it
might not be packet loss, but that would make sense. could also be other things linked to heavier areas i guess
VPN wont help if the issue is that your ISP is throttling you, for example
Nor will any VPN help if the issue is something you have installed (intentionally or not....) on your PC that's causing it.
isp throttle wouldn't make much sense, they generally only throttle when it is monetary gain, at least in US regions. VPN would likely only make it worse unless there's a bad hop it helps you dodge. but that would show in packet loss/ping
ah yeah
So who knows what kind of dodgy internet might be going on there.
there's a tool for a deeper traceroute iirc, i used it when checking my old (busted) modem, checks packet loss on every hop between client and server. might help illuminate.
can't remember what it was called but the log files were great, i'm sure there's a couple tools for it.
TL;DR - Its not the servers fault or the DC's fault (unless you see mass quantities of people complaining). Its probably not your ISP's fault if you run a ping test simultaneous with experiencing the issue and it looks good.
when u buy cosmetics from the online store can u equipt any level and is it account wide or just one character
As RDM, am I supposed to interrupt my combo to rez?
@leaden ginkgo most of them are character specific, but they will specify on the page. Most of them are level 1 and can be used to glamour any gear.
@gritty oracle which combo?
You should check if it's gender restricted though just to be safe
If someone is telling you to interrupt your melee combo to res, tell them to piss off.
what does glamour mean is it like on top of armour :O @simple shore
!faq glamour
'What is Glamour and how do I unlock it?'
Glamour is the process of changing an equipment's look into a different item with the use of Glamour Prisms. You can unlock the ability to glamour by doing the level 15 quests 'If I Had a Glamour' in Vesper Bay, West Thanalan. Although not required, you can unlock the ability to dye gear with the nearby quest 'Color Your World'. You can get the Orange Juice needed by talking to the nearby Merchant & Mender. Items used for glamouring are not lost upon use.
'How do I glamour? Where do I get more Prisms?'
Glamouring is done by right-clicking (Square or X on controllers) on the equipment you want to glamour and choosing the option 'Cast Glamour'. After clicking this you choose the item you want the appearance on the right half of the menu that opened up. You can get more Glamour Prisms by either crafting them after completing the quest 'Absolutely Glamourous', buying them from your Grand Company Quartermaster, or buying them from the marketboard.
tldr: fashion transmute, overwrites looks
It effectively causes an item to take on another items appearance
Riposte zwerchhau redoublement verholy/verflare scorch
Yes that's your melee combo
idk i rez after scorch unless there's a huge need
You should never be interrupting that
quickcast helps if i need to expidite it after
and if someone being dead for 3-4 GCD's is going to trigger a wipe, you were probably going to wipe anyway
Since res isnt instant
Hey is it that the game doesn’t do good past 1980x or does it just not support 21:9
Guys when is the new update coming?
11th

Oh very soon then.
This is my first time experiencing an update.
Do the servers go down during it?
sure
The game will be unavailable for approximately an entire day
Oh wow really? Will suck not being to play for a whole day, but worth for new stuff
hi im new to the game. Is there a way to meld iron works gear puchased from tomes?
well tried melder npc but theres no slot on my iron works gear to put materia
Its generally not worth bothering to meld gear before 80
say if I left a guild without clearing my FC room, would there be npc that keeps my furniture?
Pretty sure you can't leave
oic thank you for the info
If your room aint clear
oh
If you haven't already, upgrade your Ironworks to Augmented Ironworks
Augmented Ironwork is i130
ilvl 130 head to toe will last you into lvl 55 dungeons
Hi guys, i am coming into game from WoW and GW2, where i am used to have few skills on tab and be ok with it... So FFXIV is kinda scary for me 😄 Which first DPS class should be better for me, Red Mage or Machinist? I need a class with easy rotation which uses as few buttons as possible.. 😄
i know but which way headed
Dancer is built around RNG procs though, so it might not be up your alley if you don't like to play reactively around random procs and priorities
is there an LFG on this discord ?
You did got very close with your choice on red Mage and machinist
Machinist has no randomness at all in its rotation. It is clear and concise.
Some of Red Mage attack spell can proc other spells. That said, Red Mage proc is very easy to manage as it revolve around keeping your black and white mana somewhat balanced
is there an LFG on this discord ?
@leaden ginkgo There's recruitment channels like #603040697884475393
@warped nest sounds good, i guess i pick one from these two based on aestetics 🙂 any of them who has simpler way to level from lvl 1 ?
i know, i mean simpler pre-job 🙂
If I have to pick... Based on simple rotation... Tank?
BLM? It's pretty easy pre-50s
Definitely not BLM
BLM has simple concept, but annoyingly confusing rotation while leveling
Lol
Gladiator/Paladin and Marauder/Warrior have very straight forward combat rotation
Paladin have very high button count
Warrior is actually one of the lowest in terms of button count
From lvl 1-50, BRD imo, is simpler than Monk
Monk has all the positionals, like so many of them
DRG starts having positionals at 50
Monk is pretty nasty just by doing those positonals
It's frustrating until you get to 50 as well
BRD is rather simple and have low button count from 1-50
BRD is Not hard to play
All these recommendations of mine are done under the assumption that @ebon sun are swapping to Red Mage and machinist at lvl 50
So, I am recommending marauder/Warrior (tank) or archer/Bard (ranged physical Dps)
For low button count and simpler combat until you get to rdm and mch
I mean WHM has three buttons to do damage as well 
Theres gonna be 24 hour maintenance for 5.3 ?
Yep
Is that always or just for big stuff ?
Depends
@warped nest thanks for help, i guess i pick warrior for leveling to get used to game 🙂 just last question, is there any penalty for leveling as melee class and then switch to ranged lvl 50 ?
Nope
There is no stat growth from job
Major patches or preexpansion updates usually have longer maintenances
For example, Playing multiple mages to lvl 60+, won't affect your tank's stat if you decide to become one much later
All stats effectively come from your equipment
Is there a custom delivery that gives more yellow scrips than another or do they all give the same amt
(under the assumption that they are all the same level), Kai gives more base amount
As others are the older/previous custom delivery NPC
tyty!
Where can I find glamor prisms
hello is anyone here playing from SEA? if so i would like to ask how you made your SE acc? planning to buy the game
during character creation, does muscle affect how armor/gear looks on you?
or does does armor looks the same regardless of how bulky your char is?
Whenever I try to use the weaver skill “manipulation” it says action not learned?
Manipulation is from a level 65 quest
Hence why i asked you earlier
Did you complete your quests
Hey how do i level alt classes if theres no more MSQ?
@coarse pollen you level them by doing FATEs, hunting logs, running max level dungeon that you can do if the queues are forgiving
Its unlocked on a per-class basis as well
So you need to get through those quest chains on every crafter
Did you complete your quests
@simple shore I just finished HW weaver quests
Oh, it’ll be unlocked in stormblood it seems?
@white ether you can buy them from Marketboard, craft it yourself, or buy from your Grand Company with GC seal (you need to be at a certain rank iirc)
As said - the level 65 quest
I improvised a rotation that helped me get stuff to max quality fortunately
Until I can get manipulation
@leaden ginkgo I don't think I notice any clipping or whatev
Armors are designed to have different variations to accommodate for different race/gender
!faq altlvlguide
@coarse pollen
It is safe to assume that it account for small musculature variations too
Hey. I was following the main sotry line, but the last person I did a main story line quest for didn't give me another quest once I finished the current quest. What do I do?
Okay.
Hm. There os a quest there, but it isn't a main storyline icon quest. Just a normal one.
Do all@blue quests unlock something?
yes
is an indication that quest will atleast unlock something
or are a prerequisite to quests that unlock something
Oh. Okay!
I was doing one in Yanxia, but it didn’t seem to unlock anything.
probably a prerequisite for the Namazu beast tribe quests
How do i get another relic weapon? I dont have the quest from rowena anymore? I want to make one for my whm
That'd be a Namazu prerequisite yeah
@grave totem level 50 relic? As a white mage, go to Gerolt in Hyrstmill and accept "A Relic Reborn (Thyrus)"
Anima relic
Go to Azys Lla and accept the first quest from Ardashir again as a white mage
Okay thanks lyon!
You use cure3 on raids when you have to stack as a group and the boss deal aoe dmg
wouldnt medica serve the same purpose then?
Medica is basically obsolete past level 50
Cure 3 is the go-to for close party stack mechanics that deal high damage
or raidwide damage that allows the party to be close together.
Very small AoE radius but high heal potency.
Not all fights have places where it's useful
but when it is useful, it's a very powerful tool.
What’s the wolf man quest line unlock?
The Namazu beast tribe quests
Thought that was the fish person side quests that unlocks Namazu. There’s a fish guy and a wolf guy.
Yes
after you complete each of those sidequest chain there's another sidequest chain that unites those two stories
all the Stormblood and Shadowbringers zones have setups like this
Oooh. Gotcha.
and in this case the Yanxia ones are a prerequisite for the Namazu crafter/gatherer beast tribe quests.
Tempted to skip them now. Beast Tribe are tedious to build up their respective meters.
And I don’t do DoH/L
Namazu beast tribe quests are honestly excellent
but only doable as a crafter or gatherer
primary purpose of beast tribe quests is exp
they all give good exp for their respective classes
leveling up rep and getting access to mounts etc. is a bonus
Best DoH/L for Summoner/Scholar?
How do I sell equipment I don't need anymore?
@fringe lotus doesn't really work like that, it's all or nothing since all crafts require mats/mid-crafts from other crafters, and what crafter can craft/repair sch/smn gear changes with level or raid tier etc
generally how much will not being capable of double weaving hold me back in savage content? or is it not that big of a deal/only affects specific jobs?
depends on the job
MCH for example needs to double weave or else it feels terrible
DRG seems pretty lenient on double weaving
just talk to a vendor, open your armory chest and right click > sell whatever you want @viscid aspen
Thank you!
Hello sorry I'm too lazy to remember or check but how many characters can I create in the same world and total with the entry-level subs?
1 per world, 8 in total with entry subscription
8 per world, 40 in total with standard subscription
Wynne got it
8 in the same data center only?
8 anywhere
yes
Ok thanks
I think I need to switch to standard...
For easier sharing items and gil between charas
Am I doing it right?
standard is basically required to do that
transferring items/gil cross-world between yourself requires another person to hold the items for you.
unless you want to use the marketboard to 'trade' the items
But for it to be like the entry subs price I need to sub for multiple months right
yes
Like 6?
!faq subprice
@leaden ginkgo I can't double weave either, this is my experience.
BRD: Feels pretty bad due to the number of ogcds you gotta use, especially during Mage's ballad.
SCH: Since you can use instant casts on demand, this is actually decent, but you're gonna lose some DPS (80 potency per ruin 2 cast).
DRG: Actually pretty good! Most jumps can't be double weaved anyways, so you're not losing much.
RDM: Also pretty comfy due to the low number of ogcds. Although the first part of the melee combo feels kinda shitty because you can't weave at all during riposte-zwerchhau-redoublement with high ping.
AST: Both pretty good and pretty bad. The opener is hard to pull off without double weaving, so you're gonna miss raid buff window with divination, but outside of that, you're supposed to single weave with malefic anyway, so you lose nothing.
SMN: It can also instant cast on demand, plus you might not even lose that much potency if you juggle egi assaults and trances well.
DNC: Feels pretty bad in tech window :/ I was recommended to only save two feathers for tech to better space FD1 and FD3.
TLDR if you accept you're gonna lose some DPS, you're gonna be fine.
But there are jobs where you actively have to work around the issue.
I don't think there are jobs that become impossible without double weaving (except maybe mch because overheat)
When I hit lvl 60, what's my next step when it comes to gear?
Shire gear if you've finished Heavensward
Shire gear, purchased with poetics
In Idyllshire
the level 60 equivalent of level 50's Ironworks gear
Oh okay I did
Kupo bot links unclickable
Yes
if you want to view the image in browser, click on it and then click on "open original"
Also make sure to look at your Shire gear before glamouring over it, Shire gear actually looks really good!
Also augment it, need 5 deepEST gobtwine 5 deepEST gobcoat and 1 deepEST gobdip for a full set
I need to reenable something?
Augmenting also makes it dyeable
Entry level sub can only be paid for one month at a time
if you pay for six months of standard sub at a time then it's same price as entry
So it's convenient for most?
entirely depends on you and how often you see yourself playing the game.
but that's if you have the financial stability to know that you're fine paying that much in bulk at once
I see
I play quite a lot and daily
But I find entry still the most flexible
I never switched to standard
there's no reason to switch to standard unless you want multiple alts on the same server
or if you're alt-crazy and need more than 8 in total
which is
very few players
Dancer gets a set of gear when you unlock the class, in a coffer
And you can buy aiming ironworks gear for them
shire*
Sorry shire yeah
It doesn't have class specific raid etc gear (if that's what you're thinking) because when level 60 was endgame, dancer didn't exist yet
Dancer was released in Shadowbringers, level 60 was heavenward
Yes
Aiming gear is for all ranged physical: DNC, BRD and MCH
And any other ranged physical jobs released in the future
I don't see aiming gear when I come to the npc
Are you in Idyll, Rowena's house, middle NPC?
Is there a limit on how many home world visits can be done daily?
Nope
Yee I think I found it
You can world hop all day
Btw I don't have a weapon for dancer in shire?
And with 0 risk?
You gotta buy 10 tokens (the one with the pale seal) and micro tomestone iirc, then trade it in in the NPC right of her
Yep
You just can't access FC buffs, linkshells (crossworld LS work just fine) and your retainers when world visiting
One of my friends' home world is Bryn I think but she lives on Balmung
Never even goes back to Bryn
Is there like achievement rewards for progressing in the ranks of other grand companies?
yes each grand company has their own set of achievements for various things
So there is a point for switching
I see
I swapped between all three to get the minions and bardings
If I was Mael, unlocked Stormlady title and the switched to Immoral, would my title change to Flamelady or would I just have to unlock Flamelady manually and still access Stormlady?
If you buy a house does the plot get made available if you dont sub for a while?
DO NOTE, that you can't wear GC items for grand companies that you're not currently apart of.
Thank you so much Vie
@mossy kite currently no due to the automatic demolition timer being disabled but normally yes, you would need to enter your house every 45 days at minimum to keep it
@mossy kite Normally, if you don't enter your house in 45 days, the house gets taken away from you and put on sale. But now it's paused.
for personal/shared housing only the owner counts for resetting the timer, but for an FC house anyone in the FC can reset the timer
It was back in 2014 so ill assume thats gone 😄
yep
just waiting for support to get me back in my account so I can see whats left
Are there new residential units coming with the next patch?
nope.
Time to check the patch notes
@leaden ginkgo I currently main SCH and RDM by the way. They feel pretty comfy even if I can't double weave, although sometimes I get greedy and use engagement during melee combo and clip pretty hard.
Also if you're up to spending a bit, there's VPN services that allegedly reduce ping. I'm stingy with my irl money so I don't know much about them, but there should be plenty info about them on da interweb.
What's the kupo command for that?
@frosty badger Ishgard housing district will come out at some point, but people say it won't be sooner than 6.0.
Oh I see
no command for patch notes, you'll just have to check the lodestone for when it comes out.
I see thanks
The recent live letter outlined a lot of things that'll be in patch notes
yeah I personally don't expect Ishgard housing until 5.5 at the extreme minimum
There's a doc that summarized the LL
A LOT to the point of not being able to sleep?
depends on how fast you can read
I found this on Google
https://novacrystallis.com/2020/04/final-fantasy-xiv-live-letter-58-summary-patch-5-3-details/#:~:text=Patch 5.3 is titled Reflections,the quest My Little Chocobo.&text=They will focus on crafting quests.
Nice!
Whoop
That's the previous one
Here's the most recent
https://novacrystallis.com/2020/07/letter-from-the-producer-live-59-summary-patch-5-3-trailer-and-free-trial-extended-through-heavensward/
ok thanks
There's also the official live letter digest
Yeah but the ll recap
But they usually dont talk about story much, just showing new features coming
We are pleased to present the full digest of the Letter from the Producer LIVE Part LIX! If you missed the live stream, or if you just want to watch it again (and again), check it out below!
- Don't forget to select the 720p option to watch the video in a higher resolut...
You're probably fine with reading the digest, it more sums stuff up with the slides from the ll
Hmmm bit doubtful if i eant to read or not
I probably wont since i enjoyed the story so far
I dont see any spoilery stuff in there
(Finished arr and into 2.1 to 2.55 now
no story spoilers at all in the digest
Just dont click the trailer
Awesome ^^ imma save the link for reading in that 24 hour downtime
We'll have the patch notes out during/for that
Preliminary patch notes should be out Friday or something
Which basically say "X is happening" but little to no details until the full patch notes
Probably like 10hours or something
That little ?
People average the entire ARR in lile 60-70hours
depends a lot on reading speed
Was contemplating waiting because someone said it would take 100 of hours even to get from arr to hw
Only 2 classes i havent tried and am interested in are drk and mch
Nah, slight exaggeration
And astro but ill try it after patch
Like i said, average time from the start of arr to Heavensward is like 60-70hours
Give or take on que times
And how distracted you get
First time i did it (i restarted 3 days ago on prefereed server) i was at 120 hours
And i was at 2.2ish
But in my defense, i helped 3 other people through dungeons and other content a lot
So i did some story content 2-3 times.
Yeah, if you only did story and the bare minimum to get by xp wise (cause weird jumps), probably 70hours on average
Is there any idea when eden's verse savage weeklies will be lifted
Yeah, the 46-49 gap was weird to bridge inho on the non preferred server
Soi got the standared edition (iirc the sale where it has all the dlc is on there. Is it true? @ps4
do the gc squadron member tactics actually affect what they do in the dungeons
pretty sure the complete edition is the one with the expansions
@strong saddle not sure but i think you need the complete edition on ps4 for all dlc
Lemme check just in case
got my healer on offensive for the damage boost but i feel like they end up not healing till im almost dead
The one from 27.50 in the ps store i thjnk it was
yeah aggressive for healers make them take bigger risks when healing to maximize damage
not sure on how the tactics affect the other roles but it's the most noticeable on healer
Anyone good with gshade/errors?
aight makes sense
Uhh is screwing up as astrologist the worde thing anyone can do
My friend is stuck with Unable to complete version check after uninstalling gshade
astrologian is an expansion job so you can't get it with only the base game
(until 5.3 hits, that is)
astrologian? not yet
if you mean starter edition that is
True
think i messed up
my cousin said the complete edition was for $30 and i gor standard
why have i stopped gaining exp at level 50?
do you have the expansions
Because you need the expansions
You need the expansions registered to level up past level 50.
i dont know?
Yel i only bought the standard edition rip. It was 50% off sale
if you have the ARR title screen then you only have the base game
shit think i did the same xD
@strong saddle not sure if the sale is still active, but I think I heard shadowbringers is on sale on PSN
oh you got the right one
Complete edition gives you everything
well that's A LOT of new content
I only bought the standard edition
you mean starter?
i didnt read it 😦
Thata complete
It literally says complete on wht you just posted
oh
that's for the expansion
what the hell
yeah
thats.....even more wrong
Are u serious..
damn u gotta go get ARR seperately now
So i just bought dlc
yes
yeah, you just bought DLC
....
Yeah its useless until you get starter
go get starter edition
sorry to hear that my dude 😦
no
..
don't think you can
if you have shadowbringers bought you're still fine, you just need to buy starter edition and THEN use the shadowbringers code
you could try canceling the order since you said it was physical and not digital.
i bought starter too lol#
Also when you buy for real, don't forget to get a RAF code!

Recruit a friend program
okay#
Basically you ask someone with an active subscription to send you their code, you redeem it and both of you get free stuff
i jsut bought the complete edition when i had the start edition first, how do i unlock the content?
<@&473626701947994134> ^ please help
O.O i have no idea what that is or how to do it
The mogstation is where you manage your account
Its the same way you did the starter edition
Look at the XIV page in your steam library
Right side
There should be a key section you can click
okay
Its that pop up you get whenever you open games that shows keys
Can u make BIS gear for raiding
there are BiS sets for every job listed in the balance discord
The gear you craft (like Neo ishgardian) is the easiest gear you can get outside of Time locks for raiding
If you mean craft the BiS gear, then no.
Bis gear is pretty much Always a mix of raid gear and upgrade tome gear, save for 1 or 2 anomalies

Heyy guyss im pretty new to final fantasy 14 soo i wanted to ask u guys wat shud i focus on doing at the start?
Im like really lost
hi, any reason why my wife cannot create a viera or tigerface? she has all dlcs and free slots
!faq viera
just follow the main scenario quests
@stray holly
probably didn't add shadowbringers to the account on mogstation @heavy mica
Dark knight is heavens ward right?
@stray holly msq, learning game terms, and generally taking up the piecemeal approach like use of hall of novice
Yeaaa learning game terms r proving to be really hard cause im new to the final fantasy world as a whole lol @left moth
Does anyone happen to know the break points for gathering for the next patch or what i should be aiming for ?
No
Nobody will know that until patch day
Anyone claiming to know is, frankly, full of it.
Since itll be to create a new crafting set its likely to not be really up there (if can gather hq neo ish mats now should be able to get new 5.3 mats)
Uhh lets say i make my account for the free trial on ps4 would i haveto download it from the website or the ps stre?
Psn handles everything ps4 wise, se store should just give a code for psn
Yeah. We can make reasonable inferences, of course. But nobody can state with authority what the specifics will be.
That said i seem to remember the materials for the SB equivalent being higher.
Ooo ok is there a baseline i should be aiming for to gather neo ish mats ^^; i want to know before i continue penta melding ;-;
I wouldnt pentameld at all right now if it was me, but that's another matter.
Like, at this point the chances that you'll be wrong are not insignificant, and with it being new crafter/gatherer gear blowing through your entire supply of materia right before you will need a giant pile of it seems unwise.
My rule of thumb for gathering set is 2 overmelds max since that covers most main stats using bis as guide while avoiding too much time grinding for materia to destroy during melding
If i started on steam then change to the mog station version do i get to keep my character? Or do i have to restart?
"mog station version"?
The non steam version
Both Steam and Non-Steam utilize Mog Station as account management
Well, maybe maybe not. You need to give more detail on exactly what you've done.
Have to make a new service account for standalone version
I did that.
Well, if you did that, then no, you wont have characters.
SE logic means cant convert one account
Steam and Non-Steam are completely isolated from each other account-wise.
AAAAAAA
Gg
Damn it. Time to get back to 24
I only asked because you called it "mog station version" so i assumed perhaps you were confused.
I called it mogstation because i didnt realise non steam and steam used mogstation.
should I turn off the "face enemy when attacking" setting to maximize dps for the turn away attacks?
No. To use any weaponskill/spell, you need to be facing the target
Can monsters drop items or mounts/pets in this game?
Monsters occasionally drop crafting mats in the overworld primarily
But never mounts or minions, those are primarily in chests
Or brought with various currencies
I see ty
Eureka has a small handful of nms that drop minions but thats the exception
for the normal versions, will doing higher raids lose rewards for lower ones?
No
nice, thanks
Is cooking a hassle to level
Kinda, you will use base level ingredients (salt, garlic etc) even in high level recipes
At least it doesn't really need mining
It's actually fairly self sufficient
You want to get to 20 and then use firmament
does someone know some amazing players that would be willing to carry someone for the omega mount xD? having no friends sucks ;D
Alphascape V4.0 (Savage)
Model O mount 😛
You could open party finder for [Practice]
Even with coordinated voice chat, we never got past hello world with my old group
I hate party finder :/ everytime i farm a mount with it i get stuck for weeks since people who get it leave and then you have someone new who needs it 😄 and my loot luck is hot garbage ;D
With O12S, you'll have trouble enough actually clearing
so i'm installing FF14 on my laptop, went to 50ish% and internet stop - now i'm redownloading it ..is there no way to download it in chunks? wifi is slow too ( tech channel is dead rn)
Farming mounts from Savage fights isn't that bad cause it always drops, 100% of the time. Clearing is the issue for O12S lol
Whats one think Dak knight lacks?
For me, when I got disconnected from the internet, reconnected and restarted the download, it just resumed the download from where it left off
Is there one?
Like if there's a slight hiccup with connectivity it will kinda crash and I have to retry from the start.. :/
What Savage runs would you Recommend ? i want some cool mounts 😒 PVP would be amazing too ... but i never get into the group i want to xD which is normally winning on our server 😛
I have to download it from the launcher right? (i'm from PS4 so new to gaming on PC)
And the charges on M/F and like 1 synergy
all I can think of is that Dark Knight lacks raidwide mitigation when going into old Ultimate raids because it's synced to 70 and gets its raidwide after 70
does a fantasia allow for a name change aswell?
no
No
i dont see a name change item on the shop
Name change is a separate 10 dollars, it's a service on mogstation
@unborn light yes launcher downloads the game on pc
its under additional services @cobalt narwhal
It should resume at the last successful downloaded patch
@left moth appreciate it..will just have to try patiently.
account wide means every dc right?
Yes every character on an account
how is the Eden's Gate: Sepulture (Savage) raid ? just as hard as the Omega one 😛 ?
Yes
You need to do more of the fight as well since there isnt much more gear above it so you can't roll over it as much as Omega
I guess its time to stop playing xD
Harder probably, we outgear it less so you still have to do most of it
Unsync Omega isn't that bad
A full group mows it down and you kill it doing a few mechanics

Define isnt that bad 😛
The only big things you look out for is M/F dashes, Patch and Hello world 1
Even with deaths you'll never see enrage
As long as you know those its not hard
You kill it after Hello world 1 depending on deaths
Even if you mess up debuff passing during Hello world you can still get through it
hmmm ... might try it then i guess 😮
Wait the free trial will eventually have heavens ward included. So u get a real reborn as well?
Yes, everything up to 60
Yeah you get everything before Stormblood
gotcha so i meed stormblood and shadowbringers
Shadowbringers includes all past expansions so
only Shadowbringers
can't buy just Stormblood anymore
mind you, if you're on trial you will still need to buy the starter edition and shadowbringers or the complete edition (which is everything)
@pseudo ether just look up everything up to M/F charges for m/F and everything up to Hello, world 1 for final omega
just because the free trial will allow you to play up to 60 doesn't mean you own it.
i did watch a few vids about the first phase , about the eye in the background , knockback etc hello world 1 i need to watch
All i see is the starter edition for pc and mac
Starter edition is arr
you need to buy that and Shadowbringers, or the complete edition, which is basically both
all mounts can fly
and its decently rare since it comes from gold, iirc, palace of the dead sacks
Which means you have to do the challenge floors
and also get lucky
couldn't tell you, havent done it myself and no place really with that kind of information
Huh, that sucks 
It looks really good though. Might eventually go grind for that mount
I am correct in assuming you can just replay floors right?
Can only start from 51 at the latest
And you must be in a premade party
You cant instance match it
You also cant wipe prior to 101+
not for challenge floors
Wiping means you're locked out of it
Tbh you're probably better off biting the gil cost of whatever it is on the mb
than investing time into the challenge floors to get it
What I mean is, once you get to floor 151, do you need to advance to floor 200 and replay the entire dungeon?
Wait, you can do that 
You can buy the mount?
yes
You cant start from 151
You have to either continue up or start over from 51 for another run
its sold on the marketboard
yeah the whistle is marketable
If you wipe you have to start over from 51
Night Pegasus Whistle I think
How many times would I have to run copied to get a full outfit for one role? On average.
I couldn't tell you, but it depends on the role and how many people in your party can Need the gear you want
Worth noting for the night pegasus, it's sellable so I'd say it's probably less effort to grind up gil than actually go high PotD
aaaaand my chat scrolled
nice
that was already mentioned
F 
Mount is so expensive. 14.5 million on Siren
What is the best level 70 dungeon to run for exp
but can’t
