how come we can't have a glamour dresser in houses?

Nah you can prep just by buying neo-ishgardian if you want to get into it right away

There's a lot more relevant stuff going on in post-HW than there was in post-ARR

hey, can i dw the free trial demo of the game now and patch on the 11th? or do i have to re download the free trial again cuz of the changes?
wintry chasm
You'd download the free trial now but it would have to download the extra stuff on patch day
expansion maps and whatnot
solemn delta
To be prepared for patch 5.3 I need Ruby weapon EX done and the level 80 Alliance raid correct? Leaving it a bit late not even done the 80 raid yet!
Or should I do all the ShB EX trials too?
silent elm
@wintry chasm thank you
wintry chasm
I'm not sure why you need to do EX anything
but yes you'll want to do all the alliance raid stuff out now for the next one in 5.3
leaden ginkgo
There's the crystal tower stuff too
solemn delta
I was told the Ruby weapon EX quest will need to be done in order to continue into the next trial
Well the quest that gives you access

what the highest IL possible for lv 70?

another question, do i need to pay for a subscription after the first month of free trial? or can i re play the free trial endlessly?

You can play the free trial forever, but only up to the limits prescribed by it
silent elm
okay great, thanks!
solemn delta
Usually 399 for 70, no need to waste gil on a second ring at all imo
Just go with poetic stuff every 10 levels can't go wrong
open coral
You can go wrong if you choose the wrong poetics gear
solemn delta
Yeah if you choose the old stuff instead of shire for example
Or does shire have an older version I know Scaevan does, bought so much of the darn stuff recently
solemn delta
Yeah I know, older content gets updated
little swift
And ryumyaku
These were the set for the previous tier
Like how deepshadow qas previous tier
Or how crystarium will be in 5.4

In a nutshell, make sure you're buying the highest ilvl. Usually its indicated by a DoW I, II etc.
II being the most recent gear
Thank god I don't need Ruby weapon EX could have taken a while.

Get 1 job of each role (tank/heal/dps) to 80, do 1k instances and 1500 commends
All which are trivial to do

I think the mentor requirements are do a lot of content, get a lot of commends

Ahh i see.
So that mean Veteran player then

Do you need a party or can you do it solo

You can do either
You can get a party inside

How do glamour plates work?
faint flare
You make a plate in the glamour dresser then you can freely apply it to gear whenever you're in a city
You can also link them to gear sets so it always applies that plate when you use the gear set
Normal glamour rules apply
azure kettle
Wait it only applies In a city?

Not dungeons or anything?

half kraken
Etiquette wise, should I be using a raise party message macro even when playing rdm or smn?
twilit arch
no
simple shore
I dont bother using one on anything.
twilit arch
raise messages aren't necessary and personally i don't find them to be that useful
simple shore
In fact i find them annoying if im being totally honest.
half kraken
I prefer using a simple one on healers just so both healers don't waste time raising the same person
twilit arch
as most of the time, pugs are either not going to read
leaden ginkgo
^
little swift
and in organized groups
lime geode
Yes but if there are two healers how do I know (as the other healer) which dead person the first healer raised?
little swift
you're probably on voice
twilit arch
or will already be looking at party and see i've got swiftcast or are hardcasting
leaden ginkgo
sometimes i ask before the raid who raises first
but if i dont the message helps me make sure i dont waste my swift
or when there's 2 dead
half kraken
Yeah those situations it makes it easier to coordinate
delicate stone
agreed, the sfx can be annoying, but they're still useful
little swift
its honestly a non-problem in df
just raise if you see the healers haven't been doing it
simple shore
Here's the thing. In any situation in which the efficiency of your res's actually matters, its either pre-coordinated or you're wiped anyway because of having two people dead at once.
half kraken
I only find it annoying when they have really long and obnoxious raise macros
remote lintel
personally i either raise the dead person really fast or i wait a second to see if the other healer got it
leaden ginkgo
what squall said
simple shore
The only scenario a res macro applies to is 24 mans and Normal - which, well, efficiency doesnt matter
leaden ginkgo
if someone has a multi-message / long raise its hard to read at a quickl glance
twilit arch
if you want to have a raise macro that's fine
but there's absolutely no etiquette that says you need one
remote lintel
also the dead person will have a raise status effect next to their name
so you'll know the healer used rezz on them
then you can rezz a diff one
half kraken
It's worth it just for those few times the other gets to save their swiftcast cos of the macro imo
lime geode
yeah but there's a delay in rez
half kraken
A single swiftcast can be life or death
simple shore
Not really
remote lintel
there's no delay on the status effect
simple shore
Like i said, the macro only really "helps" in places where the speed of res's is usually not important
remote lintel
the status effect gets applied as soon as the healer uses rezz on the person
lime geode
ah cool, didn't know that

you can't switch jobs mid instance, so run the instance as the one you're working on anima for

Hi everyone, EU player here. Could someone tell me:
- Which is better populated with English speaking players between the Chaos and Light Data Center?
- Is the % of English speaker so bad on these that it's worth going for a NA data center despite the ping?
- I don't see any preferred servers right now, are those still a thing? Should I wait for one to become available to create my character?
remote lintel
omega, lich, and zodiark are the preferred servers on the EU DCs
simple shore
Actually the EU DC's are predominantly english
twilit arch
english is the predominate language on both of the EU datacenters
simple shore
The preferred bonus is well worth the wait to get
rose tree
Almost everyone in EU can speak English to some extent or even to a point that it seems to be their second langauge. Except Russians and French (English is not part of their basic "teaching program")
simple shore
So if you cant create currently, consider trying again in off-hours. I dont play on EU so i cant speak from experience, but on NA DC's its pretty much 5AM-7AM where you can almost always get in on them.
remote lintel
i heard EU goes to sleep early so it probably wouldnt be as hard to get in
as on NA
people in america be up til 4 am
simple shore
Its more a problem of NA spanning so many time zones
5-7AM EST is a good target for NA preferred because east coast hasnt woken up yet, and west coast is at 2-3AM at that point so they're all going to bed

the servers are down until tuesday at 6 am ET
then weekly resets at like 11 am ET?
so you can technically get in 2 weeklies in 1 day
er
you can get in 2 dailies for the new crafting tribe
halcyon glen
Pro tip: if you do dailies between 3am and 11am they count for maintenance day
Also hi servers are down until 6am ET
It’s 3am PT when they come back up

Or throw it at a retainer until you gain access to expert delivery

Wheres desynth?

so on blm, sometimes fire gives you fire 3 for free; if my next fire cast is already charging, should i cancel the cast to use fire 3? is there a better way to maintain uptime?
noble pollen
And where do i trade it in for seals?
faint flare
Dont cancel casts
simple shore
Never cancel cast to F3
however
If you watch your buffs
You will see the F3 buff pop up (earlier than the flyby text) around ~80% of the F1 cast bar complete
So if you pay attention you can use them as you get them without wasting procs
delicate stone
😮 i'll try to pay attention to that!

Once you get Fire 4 you dont have to worry about overwriting F3 procs

@ Dreamer have you done the crystal tower?

@noble pollen for Desynth you basically have to get each crafting job up to 30 in order to be able to desynth stuff which that particular job makes. Example: You need to get Armorer to 30 in order to desynth certain chest pieces or tools

What menu is it?

Keep going

You need to fully create the character, then you’ll pick a home world
halcyon glen
Please don’t tell me you rushed character creation for that
plain bolt
It's not my actual character
I just checked the different stages to see where the star would appear
Creating a character takes me ages

My preferred classes are dark knight and red mage.
Red mage is accessible much earlier, right?
I understand dark knight is locked behind a 100 quests at level 50
halcyon glen
Soon to be ~80 but yes
delicate stone
If my ishgard craft failed (ie collectibility too low) do I have to just toss it?
plain bolt
So I'm guessing I should start BLM, then RDM, and once I have it unlocked I can level gladiator a bit and then wait to unlock dark knight?
halcyon glen
Red Mage is a Stormblood job, meaning it is unlocked via a quest accessible with any combat job at level 50
plain bolt
It's better to have one centralized toon rather than alts, right?
halcyon glen
Yes
Dark Knight is a Heavensward job, meaning it is unlocked as soon as you reach the Main Story for the Heavensward expansion
plain bolt
So I could get to Red Mage a lot faster than to a dark knight, right?
vocal shell
yes
halcyon glen
Aye, but don’t rush it
Enjoy the game on your first job
With boost, you will DRAMATICALLY outlevel the MSQ
plain bolt
Right, so I think I will start thaumaturge-black mage-red mage
Maybe on the way pick up gladiator and paladin for any cross class skills that will be relevant to dark knight later
strange coral
Cross class skills aren't a thing anymore
halcyon glen
That’s not how it works
Uh
Anymore yeah
You can totally ignore Gladiator and be a fine Dank Knight
strange coral
It doesn't hurt to learn how to tank early, but it's totally up to you
plain bolt
Ahhh, good to know.
I thought you needed some key cross skill or 2 from gladiator
halcyon glen
You did! 5 years ago.
plain bolt
So what, would you recommend alternating between black mage and gladiator/paladin while levelling?
halcyon glen
Well, depends on MSQ vs your level imo
plain bolt
Can you elaborate ddrox?
halcyon glen
I only played one job and I had a slight scramble for experience to be allowed to do the last quest of ARR
strange coral
That's supposedly going to be fixed with the update
halcyon glen
Each main scenario quest has a level requirement to enter
plain bolt
So spreading myself between two classes might restrict me from continuing the main quest
strange coral
If you want to get to RDM asap, I would say stick to one job until 50. It doesn't matter which.
halcyon glen
Might. Unlikely with server boost, but it might.
plain bolt
In that case, which between a black mage and a paladin has an easier/faster time going up to 50?
I would hazard a guess that black mage
leaden ginkgo
Technically tank cause queue times right?
plain bolt
Fair point. I was considering that DPS cleared content slightly faster than tanks
Didn't consider dungeon queing times
halcyon glen
Tank has better queue times and spends less time eating dirt if you’re bad like I am, DPS are faster at blowing quest targets up
strange coral
Tank has faster queues, but BLM blows stuff up faster, so it kinda balances itself out
MSQ has some solo stuff
halcyon glen
And then there’s healers, we have instant queues and never die. It’s wonderful.
delicate stone
you could also go arcanist which is a dps w/ healer queues when you swap to sch
So for ishgard restoration, if my collectibility is too low, do i have to just discard the item?
halcyon glen
Like I assume “”speedrun strats”” is ACN since you can do solo instances as a DPS and queue for dungeons as a healer for the last 20 levels but like
That also requires learning two jobs
faint flare
Yes void

How do Garlean surname prefixes work, exactly? Is it a heriditary/gender thing? Only confused because of the times Nael seems to be van darnus or deus darnus

As long as you dont neglect one for the other i think you could learn them simultaneously

Start another macro void
Like just make another with a random thing in it and press that to stop

Those are titles/indicators of status @agile laurel

The game can only run 1 macro at a time

Wait, do you get the right tokens to upgrade the crystarium gear by doing the current 24 man raid ?
faint flare
You get coins to trade foe it
faint flare
You'll need the old and the new one
vocal spoke
Don't I need to upgrade my crystarium gear to 500 the token coming in the next 24 man ?
Pretty sure the current one only upgrades the deepshadow stuff
twilit arch
you need 2 coins for the crystarium augment items. 1 from copied factory and 1 from puppet's bunker (the 24 man that is releasing in 5.3)
remote lintel
currently you augment crystarium through savage
twilit arch
"What Lies Beneath" is the quest that unlocks 51-100 @raven star
vocal spoke
I know that I currently augment the crystarium gear through savage
So I do need to do the copied factory & the puppet's bunker to get the required items to augment it
faint flare
Yes
vocal spoke
Uh weird, thought I would only need the puppet's bunker
gloomy ice
Coin system has been solidified yeah
faint flare
The forumla hasn't changed

i think you can also get the augment things from nut sacks in 5.3

That’s why.

You cant do that

You have to do it via the native launcher

Only steam players can launch through steam.

is that new? because ive always done it this way o.o

Hey I have a keybaord and want to just use it to type and use the dualshock 4 for everything else. I have the keyobard in my PS4 it's on but I acn't type anythng in the chat window
my DS4 is also on and it works like normal
I actually can't even type aynthing in the PSN message funtion either
but the system seems to know a keybaord is plugged in
rose tree
Is it a basic USB keyboard?
Also, make sure you paired it with the same profile that you're playing on.
PS. Not all keyboards work on PS4, they may connect. But not work how intended.
ivory iris
yes, a corsair k55
rose tree
Ah, Corsair seems to be one of those that don't work
ivory iris
well fml
rose tree
Copy&Paste from Reddit user:
That typically means your keyboard isn't compatible with the ps4. I tried using a corsair keyboard I got for free from my previous job; ps4 detected it but couldn't type. I switched over to a standard old dell keyboard and it worked. Both keyboards were not wireless.

Hey guys. Not sure if this is the right place to be asking or not. So I'm looking to jump into FF14 for the first time (plenty of experience with other mmos) and. I am interested in Black Mage but am wondering if the endgame stigma for BLM is as bad as I've been reading about or is it overblown?
rose tree
Hyperx Alloy FPS seems to be working with PS4 though
remote lintel
@rugged nimbus there is no endgame stigma for any class
ivory iris
alright, thanks guys

endgame stigma is a meme

@ivory iris Try "Press and hold fn+n for 15 sec Unplug the thing Plug it"
If that doesn't work, then try this; "hold F1 and the lock button for about five seconds"

you use those

@white ether Dancer operates on a priority system based on what procs you have access to atm

hi can someone help me?
I have seen that the free to play subscription level has increased, I am trying to enter the game, with my paid account from a couple of years ago in which I have a character level 58, but I cannot enter and that I am level below that it is now allowed to play for free. Is it possible to enter with this account? Do I have to convert the payment account to free to play somehow?

i seem to not see the tungston ore collectable node
@zenith kestrel you need the novrandt geological tome of folklore

you need Tome of Geological Folklore - Norvrandt, which is bought with Regional Folklore Trade Token from the splendors vendor in eulmore @zenith kestrel

so can I trade in my 350 points for coins?
@zinc dagger if you spoke to him you already have traded your points

so you need to do more achievements
for more points
you'll eventually have so many points it doesn't really matter
also gold saucer ahs mounts

There is no free to play subscription. Once you have bought the game you need a subscription to play @trail current

Hey guys, I'm thinking of creating a human male for my future red mage/dark knight
I was wondering if the standard height is the way to go.
I always hate in games where I create the standard height and then see that my character is way shorter than half the players of the same race and the npcs
Is there any guideline for character proportions that don't look and feel out of place
Wondering also whether to pick midlander or highlander in that regard
slender fiber
I think midlander males are the second shortest of all the men? Miqo being the smallest (if we don't count the obvious lalafels)
There's a pretty big difference between them and everyone else
If you're talking in regards to both genders, then they are only taller than fem midlanders/from miqo/fem aura
Highlander would be the way to go if you insist on being hyur tho. They have a more similar height to the other male races, but I think they might still be a tad shorter (I've never played Highlander so I don't know for certain)
slender fiber
Yeah, that's good. Hyurs are technically the shortest males aside from miqo and Lala's, so if you don't wanna be short then a Highlander would be your best bet
Thanks calisaie :)

So I was under the impression that ARR ng+ would come at launch so I could go through the whole game again before I go on to 8.3 content
Obviously now that it's not happening on patch day, I figured I should recap on what happened towards the end of the story and what happened in 5.2, how should I go about it
Is the recap book inside the Inn rooms good? Or can I ng+ from a specific point in the msq

Hi, can someone explain how new character creation restrictions work? A few friends and I have been playing about two weeks on Primal/Ultros and now we have more friends that want to join, but the server is locked to character creation.

Which seems completely bizarre, but should I just tell my friends to try again at some weird off-time?
