do it
remote lintel
then play it
leaden ginkgo
As my class I mean
proven bay
Yea, do it
pallid cipher
Play whatever you want dang it
leaden ginkgo
Got it, thanks for clearing up my inquiries
proven bay
pallid cipher
First rule: have fun
lyric warren
do u need the watch on to get legendary medals?
pallid cipher
Second rule: there's no other rule
remote lintel
@lyric warren no
leaden ginkgo
Play whatever you want dang it
@pallid cipher lol, I know. But I personally like to be completionist at times
faint flare
No you dont need the watch
lyric warren
remote lintel
all jobs are viable in endgame
faint flare
Dungeons are the most casual content. Even the hardest one
leaden ginkgo
And if there was a class who struggled getting on teams for the hardest dungeons, I was thinking about reconsidering
faint flare
No one gives a fuck in dungeons
remote lintel
^
leaden ginkgo
Got it
faint flare
Its a dungeon, shits over in 15mins
leaden ginkgo
I'm pretty new to the game. So I do not know that much
pallid cipher
Then be completionist with the thing you like, even if it's trash, you'd earn the best out of all achievements: having fun while mastering something hard
remote lintel
dungeons aren't the endgame content
savage raids are
and ultimates
and even then your class doesn't matter
mostly
leaden ginkgo
@pallid cipher yeah, I get that, but this would be my first class and I would like to not struggle as much with it
proven bay
If you're doing savage raids and ultimates certain optimization groups may be looking for specific jobs. But other than that you can play whatever
pallid cipher
You'll just have 20 more minutes of queue if you play a DPS
crimson crystal
Going into dungeons blind is half the fun imo
scarlet arrow
so the difficulty scales from dungeons -> normal trials -> alliance raids (24-man) -> normal raids -> ex trials -> savage raids -> ultimate raids
remote lintel
you forgot ex
leaden ginkgo
So raids are the hardest thing the game has?
proven bay
Yes
remote lintel
ultimate raids
proven bay
Raiding is the toughest content you can do
leaden ginkgo
And any build is viable on these as well, right?
scarlet arrow
ultimate raids are where you might see people looking for specific jobs
remote lintel
yes
crimson crystal
ultimate is like top 1% of people who put like 100+ hours into it
cosmic reef
Dungeons > Trials > Alliance > Raids > EX trials > savage raids > TEA/UwU ect
faint flare
Just skill
pallid cipher
You just do the fuck you want, you just have to play good
cosmic reef
It's a butt load of skill
leaden ginkgo
Got it, then it seems I do not need to worry about it
scarlet arrow
and those are built specifically for the top 1% of players
median locust
even ultimate you can clear with whatever jobs, buuuuuut it'll be easier with some jobs like Summoner in TEA lol
faint flare
Press ๐ your ๐ BUTTONS ๐
leaden ginkgo
You just do the fuck you want, you just have to play good
@pallid cipher yeah bro, chill, I get it after listening to this
scarlet arrow
but yeah otherwise just know your job
faint flare
And you're better than 80% of people
pallid cipher
Just, have a great time, pay attention to the story n' all
faint flare
If you press your buttons
proven bay
The only time specific jobs are preferred is when a group is doing an optimization run. Which is kind of like a speedrun
winter cliff
HELP PLEASE: I'm at Honorable Heroes Quest, I got the weathered shepherd's tunic and slops, but I accidentally deleted the tunic. What do I do?
leaden ginkgo
Got it
remote lintel
try talking to the guy again @winter cliff
leaden ginkgo
Well, thanks for the help
faint flare
Buy from vendors
crimson crystal
@leaden ginkgo I don't think he's angry, just saying do what you want lol that's what this game is all about
remote lintel
or that
scarlet arrow
also keep in mind that there are no 'builds' in FFXIV, each job has one correct way to play it.
proven bay
^
winter cliff
@remote lintel i will try, the vendor does not sell it, i already tried
scarlet arrow
you might see some variations on opening rotations based on your skill/spell speed, but that's it
leaden ginkgo
@crimson crystal oh ok, I kinda misunderstood it then
pallid cipher
Ye, I wasn't angry, don't take it that way haha and I'm not insulting you either, it's just that this game is just fun, that's all
cosmic reef
The best players basically play all the jobs the same with mild diffrences like openers.
median locust
yeah there's no specs or alternate playstyles to jobs. If you're playing the job you have to play it a specific way. If you don't, you're not being "unique", you suck lol
cosmic reef
This player playing BRD will play it the same as this top player who plays BRD
leaden ginkgo
@pallid cipher yeah bro, np, thanks for the help. It is just that I have come across people that are quite rude when answering this stuff
remote lintel
unless you're desperius
crimson crystal
This is why I like playing healer, you don't really have a "rotation," you use spells that fit the current situation
median locust
ayy lmao @remote lintel
remote lintel
leaden ginkgo
It has been a long time since I played an MMO, so this should get interesting
crimson crystal
It's so fun, just do whatever you want lol
pallid cipher
Me too, before FF14 I usually dropped most mmo in like 2-3 days for the past 6 years
leaden ginkgo
That is great to hear
pallid cipher
It's been a week now and I'm having my little objectives here n' there
leaden ginkgo
As the years pass by, I have started caring more about just having a good time while playing
cosmic reef
FFXIV is a very different experience from most other MMOs
proven bay
Btw, what are good content creators for learning optimal tanking/healing/dpsing?
I watch Lynx, but that's about it
patent citrus
yeah treat FFXIV like how you play JRPG
pallid cipher
Like, it plays similarly to other mmo early on, but the attention to story and the engagement of the community coupled with the design choices makes up for it
crimson crystal
@proven bay join the balance discord
proven bay
I am there already
crimson crystal
ah lol
proven bay
But I want some YouTubers to watch too
cosmic reef
Healing isn't hard. It's more of learning what you need to heal/can't heal/can ignore for a while. And that depends per content
scarlet arrow
FFXIV is really just a really long single-player JRPG that you occasionally play with other people
median locust
FFXIV Momo has some good content
remote lintel
ff14 is a final fantasy game first and an MMO second, so there's going to be a story rich campaign @leaden ginkgo
cosmic reef
Like healers rely on fight knowledge rather than play style imho
winter cliff
@remote lintel it worked, thanks ๐
crimson crystal
I agree
cedar compass
Do healers no longer DPS like they used to years ago?
remote lintel
they do
pallid cipher
Well, you'll have to wait 30 levels and then 12 to get to the interesting story but hey, after that ๐
proven bay
No, everything dpses as much as possible
proven bay
You're not wrong
leaden ginkgo
Lmao
scarlet arrow
healers still DPS but their DPS abilities have been highly streamlined
cosmic reef
your job is to slap attack as much as possible and heal as little as possible/just enough to squeak by.
cedar compass
I just came back after yeaaaars of not playing and I see that cleric stance doesn't exist anymore nor protect, and apparently heal spells were nerfed?
remote lintel
wtf is cleric stance
cosmic reef
Protect is like a perma effect now
proven bay
Cleric and tank stance was removed
cosmic reef
They just said having to rebuff after you die is dumb
faint flare
Cleric stance made you do damage but healed less
cosmic reef
Cleric stance just got nuked
pallid cipher
The guy is spitting forbidden words of incantation
remote lintel
weird
cosmic reef
And tank stance got changed due to ageo changes
faint flare
Then it was just a straight damage buff
cosmic reef
Like agro doesn't exist anymore.
faint flare
It wqs back when healer damage scaled off int
pallid cipher
So you had to manage aggro more in the past?
pallid cipher
I can see why it got removed but I find it also unfortunate
cosmic reef
Tank stances in pre-SHB were all reduce damage done. Increase agro gain
So you wanted to use it AS LITTLE as possible
Meaning dps had to be on top of agro reduction CDs
pallid cipher
Ye okay good thing it got overhauled
cosmic reef
Or use it in their openers
wispy parcel
Pre-SHB stance switching was also a thing, most people who tried it were really bad at it
cedar compass
So would you say playing healer is fun now? Cuz from when the changes happened I only see people complaining
๐
faint flare
Its more boring
scarlet arrow
well fun is entirely subjective
faint flare
You're spamming 1 button 90% of the time
wispy parcel
SCH is boring
crimson crystal
I'm also very casual
wispy parcel
I Like the other 2
scarlet arrow
so we really can't answer that for you
remote lintel
I play AST so it's fun
cedar compass
Ah im leveling a scholar now, well still an archanist
crimson crystal
Raids are the most fun for me as healer. Dungeons can get dull
cedar compass
I guess I'll switch to AST when possible
wispy parcel
AST is the hardest job to learn in the game imo
unkempt oasis
does the relic weapon glow change with upgrade ?
faint flare
Yes
proven bay
AST is the hardest? Hardly. It's just a busy job. Same way NIN and MNK is

I'm Chief Sergeant of Maelstrom lvl 52 pre HW, any good way to farm company seals (ye I've progressed over the days)
sly vessel
Is there like a rate on chances of getting legendary medal
scarlet arrow
turn in dungeon gear for seals
remote lintel
turn in gear you don't need
scarlet arrow
also do roulettes (which in turn gives you gear to turn in)
cedar compass
Also can you fly now in every map? I've seen ppl fly in ARR maps
crimson crystal
yep
scarlet arrow
yes
proven bay
Yes
cedar compass
Iirc it was only on HW maps where you could fly
cosmic reef
Which zones are high in population for the Yo-kai watch farms?
crimson crystal
all of them tbh. at least arr areas I've been to
rugged nimbus
That's the only thing I dont really like about FFXIV is the whole every one is a dps thing.
pallid cipher
I'm kinda locked in terms of story progression because I have to wait my crew, so ye roulettes + turn ins are quite my only fuels
rugged nimbus
Just not my preference
scarlet arrow
every zone from HW on has had the ability to fly in
cosmic reef
Lol. Fair enough. I was thinking HW or ARR so I could face roll it with Blue Mage

You're just screwing everything up for everyone

Generally from what I remember when anything got popular as a selling item the price pretty much always bottoms out instantly.
cosmic reef
Wait. Is there no BLUE MAGE STAFF?!
quiet crystal
for blue mage weapon doesn't matter iirc
cosmic reef
This is BS. I need my yo kai blue mage pimp staff
cosmic reef
pallid cipher
I don't understand why they went the Limited Class route
remote lintel
because blue mage is op
quiet crystal
๐
scarlet arrow
you go to the hunting board, grab the contracts (they go into your key items), then hunt the mobs @pallid cipher
pallid cipher
I can't pick up the contracts tho xd
remote lintel
do the quest
surreal geyser
I think they didnt want to make blu at all originally but the demand was so high they did.
remote lintel
to unlock hunts
scarlet arrow
there's a quest to unlock them
surreal geyser
It doesnt fit any role though and they dont want to balance it
pallid cipher
And the company seals rewards are any good? On the surface it's 20 company seals, which is like not interesting at all
surreal geyser
So they just sorta shrugged and made it a goof class
pallid cipher
Aaaah okay
remote lintel
each hunt has different currency
to get gear and stuff
HW and SB hunts have centurio seals
pallid cipher
Kk
Back unto Blue Mage, ye I get that, played several FF before 14 and Bravely Games (Oh god the Catmancer), and ye it's broken in its concept but I'm p sure they could have found a way to make it work, I know it's supposed to be a joke but Blue Mage is part of the classes I enjoy completting when playing a FF, and the thought of it being nearly useless is kinda sad
Or can it do the missions with bot things when you're high on Grand Company? (forgot the name)
sly vessel
To get legendary yokai medals silver/gold result in fate also?
pallid cipher
Command Missions, that's the name
Because if it can, then I might use Blue Mage then ๐

faint flare
@weak lance yes, you need to get to ishgard/heavensward for dark knight
weak lance
uugh, this story so far is boring

The start is slow yes
median locust
Lv1-50 is definitely slow but after you reach the first expansion, it picks up
ivory pewter
it gets way better just arr is pretty old content

just beat 5.3 and i can say i never have played a mmo that is is like shadow bringers

@wispy parcel i thought there was some value to converting bonded items or something?

It also used to drop HQ potions, but I don't know if those were removed when they swept consumable/crafting mat chests from regular dungeons.
remote lintel
are you talking about spiritbond
visual flame
yeah - im generally asking if i should sell anything im not using in my inventory because thats what ive been told
remote lintel
if you dont have crafters then sell the crafting mats
if you can get materia from bond then get it
remote lintel
basically
visual flame
ok. this may be a dumb question - im not in game right now to check - but does it tell you what type of crafting material something is? if i remember, it just says crafting material. do i just have to guess if i can cook it or not?
cuz you can technically cook anything you want, just put it in a pot
strange coral
You can right click it and I forget the exact name, but search for crafting recipes that use that item
remote lintel
it tells you
visual flame
nice! thats exactly what i was wondering, thank you long cool name
remote lintel
it says what type of crafting material it is on the tooltip
leather, ingredient, etc
visual flame
so should i vendor materials i dont need? or market?
remote lintel
if you dont have a huge stack of them vendor it
visual flame
awesome, thanks again

like shit would just drop me and id see no indicators

welcome to the game
generally if people are moving to a specific spot you probably should too
neon aspen
or 9s has this like overlapping circle move that flashes for 1/10th of a second then nukes me
faint flare
There's a handful of things with no aoe indicators
neon aspen
i died a couple times where i was right on top of a BLM's leylines
faint flare
If there's a extreme brief indicator. It means you missed a visible tell
neon aspen
along with the BLM itself
remote lintel
you have to watch the boss cast bars
neon aspen
i think i should turn off alliance animations
inland scarab
any could suggest me best way to fast-farm phantasm tomes atm?
wispy parcel
There are a few aoes in this game that dont have indicators, you have to pay attention to your surroundings
faint flare
The 3rd and 4th bisses all have visible tells and low amount of aoe indicators

@inland scarab hunt trains
inland scarab
besides that?
faint flare
Same with second

roulettes, spam lvl 80 dungeons
neon aspen
and yea i know i need to be better at reading boss casts
inland scarab
any dungeon recommended?
remote lintel
the 2 recent ones
inland scarab
ah k. thx
neon aspen
its kind of annoying for me though i prefer games where you are reading animations like MHW vs "oh omegaflare means stand in corner of arena"
but is what it is
remote lintel
thats mmos
neon aspen
yea
remote lintel
instead of reading animations youre reading the cast bar
median locust
Being able to read mechanics on sight will come from having more experience with the game and playing more content as it's new to you
Don't feel bad about dying multiple times to a mechanic, but do make an effort to look for what you missed
like the next time you're there, or in a video
neon aspen
9s had these lasers that seemingly shot out randomly
median locust
Cast bar says something like
remote lintel
it literally tells you "lateral lasers" or something
median locust
Side-hitting lasers
neon aspen
but i was thinking it might have been obfuscated by all the animation from the alliance
median locust
And Fore and Aft lasers
neon aspen
oh, its just the cast bar
median locust
yep
neon aspen
i also need to be better at not staring at my hotbar
median locust
read cast bar names, they might tell you a lot about the mechanic
faint flare
Stuff like DUAL FLANK cannons
neon aspen
yea
gloomy mortar
How do you stop Linkshell chat from posting chat messages at the same time? I was in a battle, and couldnโt turn the linkshell off without turning the dungeon teamโs messages off
faint flare
And Fore and Arf
Character config > Chat settings > log filters
Adjust as you wish
strange coral
I recommend separating the target cast bar from the rest (it's a setting in HUD layout iirc), enlarging it, and moving it somewhere you'll notice it
wispy parcel
Plus MMO logic, if an aoe is gonna hit and if you leave the indicator too late, even if the animation was no where near ya
remote lintel
^
wispy parcel
Counts as a hit
neon aspen
yea i could see that being helpful
remote lintel
i made my boss cast bar humongous
strange coral
Mine is right in the middle of the screen lol
neon aspen
because its default placement can be easily overlooked
median locust
Yeah the game checks if you're standing in the AoE as the indicator disappears 90% of the time
remote lintel
put your target bar lower
mine is on the right side of the screen
as is focus target
median locust
So it's usually really easy to tell whether you got hit or not if you pay attention to that
neon aspen
yea im pretty good at avoiding aoes when they have markers
median locust
For cast bars it really depends
neon aspen
also this is a dumb question to ask at lvl 80 probably but
median locust
But most of the time it's as the castbar ends
neon aspen
what is a tankbuster exactly?
remote lintel
a heavy hitting attack on the tank
neon aspen
just a really high dmg move that hits a tank?
remote lintel
yes
median locust
Attack targetted at the tank that deals high damage and may or may not need a cooldown to survive
remote lintel
usually single target, can have splash damage
median locust
Sometimes it's shared with the other tank
remote lintel
sometimes its a double hitting tank buster where you need to switch aggro with the other tank
fun times
neon aspen
sounds hard
remote lintel
eh
faint flare
Or one you have to split with the other tank
median locust
Not when you know what you're doing
neon aspen
i have a lvl 50 paladin but im not really experienced with tanks
median locust
Tank busters also don't really have their own own marker so it's like
If you suddenly take a ton of damage and you're the only one that did
as the main tank
it's probably a tank buster
faint flare
Then you just remember what the name of it was for next time
median locust
yep
faint flare
Like with any cast
median locust
Learning a new fight is trial and error
Failing is to be expected

is there a list of the old quest list before 5.3 deleted them?
median locust
other people in your party have played the raid more than once, most likely
remote lintel
and it's been out for a while so the other people have learned it
remote lintel
should be fine for copied factory
faint flare
The minimum to enter is expected
remote lintel
its casual content so theres not really an ilvl youre supposed to hit
besides the entry one
neon aspen
so is there like a "savage copied factory"
median locust
@violet star Can find one in archives of the consolegameswiki MSQ quests page. Here's the one from right before the patch dropped.
https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/mediawiki/index.php?title=Main_Scenario_Quests&oldid=246327
neon aspen
for people who are really good
remote lintel
no
median locust
24-man only have one difficulty
remote lintel
savage raids are only 8 man
median locust
Only 8-man raids have Savage
neon aspen
ah
median locust
So Eden's Gate/Eden's Verse have Savage
but neither of the nier raids have more than one diff
neon aspen
i guess 24 would be painful
neon aspen
haha
median locust
pretty much
neon aspen
does savage drop like super good items or is it just for glory
neon aspen
oh wow
median locust
Current Savage raids always drop the best gear available at the time
neon aspen
i dunno if ill ever get there
median locust
You can also get iLv500 gear from augmenting Allegory gear
But the iLv505 weapon is unmatched
always the best
median locust
until the next raid tier anyway
cosmic reef
Ultimates are for flex.
neon aspen
what are ultimates?

Savage is for gear
scarlet arrow
neon aspen
wow
balmy fox
do you guys know approximately how many ppl would i need to do Nidhogg (ex) comfortably to farm for the mount? (unsync'd)
remote lintel
like 4
median locust
Ultimate raids are 16+min boss gauntlets that are extremely unforgiving fights with no checkpoints. Their rewards are extremely shiny weapons and a title. So basically just cosmetics.
balmy fox
i havent done the fight in ages so i dont remember if there are mechanics or not
median locust
Takes 100+ hours to prog an Ultimate fight on average
signal gull
so I reached rhalgr reach and the NPC for the 70 poetics gear is suppose to be here but I cant find her
remote lintel
@balmy fox youre gonna skip 90% of mechanics anyway

dusty mesa
is there a quest to unlock flying in heavensward zones? finished the expansion but still not unlocked
remote lintel
you need to get the currents and the blue quests
median locust
Need to get all the Aether currents per zone, which are 1. Gathered in the world 2. Acquired from the main story 3. Acquired from sidequests
scarlet arrow
each zone will have a combination of currents found through exploration and currents obtained via quests
short sparrow
Would it work to macro it so that my main attack buttons for each job also have dismount in them?
zinc orbitBOT
dusty mesa
ok! ty guys got some work to do
remote lintel
dont macro your gcds
median locust
@short sparrow Macroing your main attack moves is extremely discouraged
short sparrow
Oh. Well, I'm glad I asked.
I just want to automatically dismount when attacking. ๐ฆ
median locust
Macros have an inherent delay to them therefore they will lead to you doing less actions in a fight
Thus lowering your DPS for no reason
!faq macrogcd
zinc orbitBOT
median locust
Example of using a single attack not in a macro vs in a macro
wispy parcel
Wow I didnt know that
short sparrow
I realised that after thinking about it as soon as you said to not macro them, actually. I appreciate the confirmation, but it kinda makes perfect sense.
remote lintel
just have to dismount before you pull

pretty much
I set myself an easy to reach hotkey just to dismount so it's not as inconvenient
remote lintel
what 
short sparrow
See, I play on controller, and for me mount up is on the keyboard.
Which is fine.
But dismount, I want on the controller.
remote lintel
put your mount on your hotbar
short sparrow
I have a bind for sheath / unsheathe.
Cerberus, with limited slots on a single crossbar I try to keep those for things I will use in combat tho.
remote lintel
i have a separate hotbar for out of combat stuff
faint flare
Just throw it on extended or wxhb
remote lintel
then i switch to my combat hotbar
granite swan
Do you need to be able to fly in HW to do the lv 60 job quest? Cause i aint seeing anyway to get to it without ...
little swift
I'm pretty sure you can set your crossbars to be different sheathed and unsheathes as well
simple shore
Which job? Off the top of my head, the answer is no.
little swift
Depends on what job it is maethil
wispy parcel
You need to be able to fly to finish HW MSQ in general
So yea some job quests need you to fly
In like the very end
leaden ginkgo
After I get all the yokai watch minions what do I do with the normal coins? Also is there any easier way to get legendary coins because blue mages completing the fates before I can get to it half the time
granite swan
@simple shore Summoner
faint flare
Toss them away for normal medqls
cosmic reef
Become what you must... a warrior of darkness Blue Mage
strange coral
Party finder, fate section. If there isn't one for your zone, start one
little swift
Yeah I think that ones a bit tough to get to without flight if I'm remembering it correctly
nocturne ridge
Which Grand Company should I choose?
remote lintel
the one that looks cool
faint flare
Any
cosmic reef
Alliance raid for Hw Needs flight
short sparrow
I kinda regret my choice, you can't switch and keep rank, can you?
faint flare
Choices rarely do
simple shore
The quest takes place outside of gubal library, so you can definitely get there on foot (since you have to once during the MSQ anyway)
lime pendant
im getting a ffxiv boot error. Unable to complete version check. [30605][20448][10009][10019] does anyone know how too fix it? i just want too play the game lol. if it helps i just reset my pc so idk why its doing this
short sparrow
I just don't think that I love the Flames' gear.
granite swan
@simple shore Ah if thats the case, ill wait a few quests then instead of going straight to it lol
little swift
Flames are super convenient
remote lintel
you can go past matoya's cave and up the staircase
short sparrow
Changing hotbars on draw / sheath seems to not be working... hmm.
remote lintel
did you set them to different hotbars
short sparrow
Under "Enable Customization for when weapon is sheathed" I assume there you select the bar you want to be shown when sheathed?
And then select another one under 'drawn'?
remote lintel
yes
weary burrow
what class does this extreme thunder aoe with the weird sound
faint flare
Blue mage
short sparrow
Seems to have no effect for me.
wintry chasm
what class does this extreme thunder aoe with the weird sound
Pretty vague but yeah I assume it's Blue Mage too
Dragon's Voice move
short sparrow
OK.
split viper
Are queue times for ARR dungeons typically this long
short sparrow
weary burrow
its a very low level skill as even on lvl 28 events they can use it
short sparrow
I don't mind being told if I am very foolish. ๐
weary burrow
so i dont think its bm
leaden ginkgo
@split viper all queues are long depending on the class u playing
remote lintel
and youre on hotbar 1 and when you unsheathe it doesnt go to hotbar 2?
simple shore
@split viper define "this long"? How long and what job/role
leaden ginkgo
support queues are instant almost depending on the dungeon or raid
short sparrow
@remote lintel oh wait. I think I just spotted the problem.
split viper
I'm playing Arcanists waiting for the Sastasha dungeon
leaden ginkgo
tanks im assuming is almost instant too
short sparrow
This doesn't work for crossbar?
split viper
I am on Hyperion too if that is relevant
remote lintel
it does
leaden ginkgo
ye u playing dps, its normal that it takes long
simple shore
How long
split viper
I've been in queue for 25 min so far
median locust
10-20min as DPS for a dungeon is to be expected
split viper
just wondering how long to expect
median locust
Especially in the middle of a week day
little swift
@weary burrow if it was a fate in a low level area 100% blue mage using dragons voice
remote lintel
10 as a dps is quick
short sparrow
@remote lintel well, that was my one idea. ๐
leaden ginkgo
it says the avg wait time in the duty finder thing, i foggot the name
simple shore
25 mins is above average but not yet at the point of unreasonable for DPS.
remote lintel
are you sure youre on hotbar 1 and then when you unsheathe it doesnt go to hotbar 2?
split viper
I noticed that Hyperion is a legacy server, does that mean there won't be a lot of new people playing?
median locust
I remember week 1 Stormblood with the 40min dungeon queues
leaden ginkgo
a lot of people are working, its midle of the week and its a low lvl dungeon
short sparrow
I'm on cross hotbar 1, and it doesn't go to 2.
median locust
Never been that bad again though
leaden ginkgo
and he is playing dps
simple shore
Kind of, but servers means next to nothing now.
split viper
Okay
stiff osprey
is there any way to auto-sync when you enter a fate? or to auto dismount by using an action while on the mount?
median locust
No and no
faint flare
Nope
simple shore
No way to auto
faint flare
You can make a macro to easily sync
simple shore
but you can put it on a macro
short sparrow
I know this is weird, maybe I'm just a lunatic.
lime pendant
Help! Im getting a ffxiv boot error. Unable to complete version check. [30605][20448][10009][10019] does anyone know how too fix it? i just want too play the game lol. if it helps i just reset my pc so idk why its doing this
remote lintel
@short sparrow id say try restarting the game
having it auto switch really isnt necessary though
short sparrow
Oh and for what it's worth, this is a PS4 version.
short sparrow
I dunno if that makes any differnce.
granite swan
Can you not buy a weapon with poetics for lv 60?
median locust
You can
remote lintel
cross hotbars function the same on all platforms
median locust
In Idyllshire
granite swan
Only weapon i can find needs pages or a book or something, hm
remote lintel
wrong vendor
median locust
Vendor on the right -> Shire Gear Exchange
Need 10 tokens of Scripture and a specific tomestone
odd needle
Does anyone know how/what code is for Paladin combo-macros?
I know the typical census is not to use them because .4th of a second matters or something, but I need to use it for a specific purpose in a video. I can't seem to find exactly how it works for a Gladiator/Paladin.
median locust
You can buy both of those items from the Poetics vendor
short sparrow
OK restarting. Are there any other settings which could be affecting this, because I will admit I've tinkered with my UI layout a lot.
median locust
@odd needle Never combo GCD actions. Unless I'm misunderstanding?
granite swan
ah i ignored her cause it said Primal Gear, and i thought that was pre-ironwork heh
odd needle
I specifically stated that I wanted to do it for a video and you said the thing anyway, Fissie. lol
granite swan
Its only 600 Poetics now, doesnt seem to need scripture or anything?
short sparrow
My HUD editing screen is my highest level class. ๐
median locust
That doesn't mean "I'm not gonna play with it" anyway but ok lol
remote lintel
@short sparrow other settings shouldnt affect it
odd needle
Cerberus, if I do /ac over and over, does that also apply a cool down like, if I break the combo chain it resets?
remote lintel
and like i said you can just put your mount on your cross hotbar
short sparrow
I know, but I like fun UI tricks. ๐
little swift
@granite swan you can buy them straight up now they removed all the extra stuff
remote lintel
you might have to put a <wait.1> between /ac
little swift
@odd needle it doesn't queue so the macro will just be trying to press the same skill even though its on cooldown
Gcd is 2.5 seconds
odd needle
Fissie, sure, that could be the case, but I'm not some Lv80 expert dungeon raider either. I do like the aesthetic of combo macros and the actual "negative" a lot of people have with it doesn't actually affect me at all. However, it's still the case that I want to showcase it to some folks of mine in a video format.
little swift
But you can only wait whole seconds
remote lintel
macroing gcds absolutely affects you
weary burrow
what i dont understand is why people at lvl 30 desync can do huge aoes?? i dont know any class with these kind of aoes, maybe it IS bluemage as its the only i havent seen yet ๐
odd needle
Okay, okay, so I have to wait and it sorta auto-does it.
remote lintel
@weary burrow because you get better skills as you level up
median locust
Wouldn't recommend playing with it at all but it's whatever, can't reason with someone who doesn't wanna change
odd needle
What is the GCD acronym in full words?
remote lintel
global cool down
simple shore
<wait>'s in macros are only acceptable for crafting.
little swift
Blue mage is really strong because it can keep its whole kit @weary burrow
No matter the level
faint flare
And can instant death thinga
odd needle
If they're that bad, why are they in PvP?
That's essentially what I'm trying to recreate in design and purpose for the video.
leaden ginkgo
or do 1k static damage ๐
weary burrow
how is that fair in this event xD
faint flare
Because PvP isnt a macro
little swift
Its not a macro in pvp
remote lintel
its not a macro
odd needle
Okay, so I'm being told a completely different thing then.
What I'm looking to do is recreate what happens in PvP.
remote lintel
you cant
simple shore
You cannot
faint flare
Impossible
odd needle
Oof. I'll cry now.
little swift
We're telling you cant and shouldn't try
simple shore
Even a heavy macro user like myself would not do that.
odd needle
So macros are the way to "kinda" do that then?
faint flare
Not without literally killing your entire dps and being worthless
remote lintel
no
little swift
It doesn't even do it right
simple shore
You cannot even "kinda" do that.
remote lintel
macros just do it worse
odd needle
lmao it fails.
short sparrow
@remote lintel it is unfortunate that I'm an idiot. It won't autoswitch to an empty crossbar. Why did I not think of that?
remote lintel
thatll do it
short sparrow
I was gonna populate it... eventually.
remote lintel
gilded flare
Hey I just bought the game. Are the collector's edition free items for only one character?
short sparrow
Nope!
remote lintel
theyre not free and they arent for 1 character
short sparrow
I made a second character and got all my stuff again.
remote lintel
you buy the collectors edition and it gives you items for every character you ever make
odd needle
The earring from pre-order is my favorite thing I've gotten from the game.
gilded flare
yeah i meant the freebie items in game if you purchase the collector's edition
great to hear that thanks so much
:p
remote lintel
the items are what ur purchasing but yes
odd needle
What do the combo macros do then, if they aren't the PvP things?
leaden ginkgo
from wut ik they just do it worst, cause of cooldowns and etc..
simple shore
fail and explode
remote lintel
^
median locust
Combat macros are good for targetted oGCD actions that would cast it faster that you can cast them normally
Like to avoid having to manually target someone
odd needle
oGCD? What's the o- for?
median locust
Example: Rescue, Aetherial Manipulation, Dragon's Eye, AST cards
odd needle
Oh! As a Paladin (still leveling up/learning) which moves would those be?
little swift
But with mechanical practice a person can easily do the same thing just as fast
odd needle
Like Rampart?
median locust
Shirk, Cover
brisk iron
no spoilers but... im at Stormblood now and it seems like its just fetch quest after fetch quest and reminds me of ARR, is the whole story just like this? Heavensward felt so much better with its quests
simple shore
Even someone like me who macro's GCD's because i'm a filthy heretic, i only ever use that when it's an oGCD + a GCD or its mutually exclusive GCD's that cannot ever be available at the same time.
faint flare
You use all your sjills
odd needle
I don't have those yet, but I've heard about them in videos.
faint flare
Except like Shield bash
little swift
Not rampart rampart doesn't need a target
short sparrow
Any way to copy icons from one hotbar to another rather than move them?
remote lintel
@odd needle go to actions and traits and look at your tooltips, if it says "weaponskill" its a gcd, if it says "ability" its an ogcd
little swift
Intervene/cover/shirk are some paladin examples
median locust
Pretty much^^
odd needle
Oh, that helps separate them actually. Thank you!
short sparrow
Oh, yeah sorry my bad. I should say... between hotbar and crossbar?
odd needle
But assigning a macro to the moves Fast Blade, Riot Blade, and the third one, is bad because... it auto-fails or..?
remote lintel
because its slow af
little swift
Its bad because you lose time
remote lintel
as opposed to just clicking them
median locust
!faq macrogcd
zinc orbitBOT
faint flare
Its extremely unreliable and far slower
little swift
Because the macro can't wait
median locust
Here's a comparison between non-macros and macros
median locust
That delay adds up to a LOT over the course of a fight
patent citrus
yeah, that's the problem i met when i started
faint flare
Which means using it twice equals a lost of a gcd
little swift
And if you ever move out of range for whatever reason you can't continue your combo
patent citrus
my last mmorpg was wow legion and i used to use 1 button macro, lol
leaden ginkgo
won't fly here ; _ ;
faint flare
As i always say, trying to press less buttons makes you less effective
Press ๐ your ๐ BUTTONS
leaden ginkgo
faceroll on keyboard for maximum effect
odd needle
That Twitter video is confusing me because there are 2 of them w/ gear icons.
I assume the 2nd one is showing the speed of the skill being used as a macro.
granite swan
Why do healer NPCs never heal the other NPCs ... failed yet another duty
faint flare
Left is normal, right is macrod
odd needle
@faint flare I play fighting games competitively. I'm not supposed to press buttons. lmfao
leaden ginkgo
how else do you win
little swift
@granite swan choose your targets better. Some are a priority
faint flare
Yeah you spin the control stick then press buttons
short sparrow
Also, you can't ever just copy a single icon from one bar to another without moving it?
patent citrus
well there's a community dedicated to that in wow, making that 1 button lazy macro
odd needle
You press buttons when you need to, but you don't press 'em a lot.
"Stop pressing buttons" is basically the FGCs way of just block and wait your turn.
leaden ginkgo
@granite swan pretty sure they heal but the heals are weak
patent citrus
and they compare it to the top players in the log
short sparrow
I was hoping there'd be a trick like "hold shift" or something of that nature.
patent citrus
the problem was the difference in wow was so miniscule, so why i should play legitly
faint flare
Well there's no stopping pressing buttons here
leaden ginkgo
drag it from your action menu (P) Soluzar
odd needle
True, true.
remote lintel
you should ALWAYS be pressing buttons actually
granite swan
@little swift And how pray tell do i do that? theres never a tank so they always gang up on a single person
elfin grove
can you hide the number of specific action bars?
little swift
If you deal with adds while the main thing is targetting you the npcs will be alibe to assist you afterwards
odd needle
So, do any of you have some non-cluttered looking hotbar UI setups by the way?
All the skills being smashed randomly on the board look ugly.
granite swan
Well the adds all gangbanged 1 char and insta duty fail lol
remote lintel
only for controller
faint flare
Check #protips-and-ui
remote lintel
but you can subsitute the cross bar for regular hotbar
little swift
Maybe you need to do more damage than 
odd needle
What is the cross bar? Is that a console thing?
remote lintel
controller thing
granite swan
@little swift i have barely any aoe is my problem, my main aoe is DoTs Q_Q
odd needle
Oooh!
neon aspen
its super nice if you use controller which i do
odd needle
And I can use this on PC? That would probably help w/ looking at combo routes actively, but... Well, yeah, I could just hold shift or something to swap the bars.
faint flare
Yes
simple shore
Oh dear
faint flare
Just plug a controller in
odd needle
I don't wanna use a controller. ๐ญ
remote lintel
ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ
weary burrow
is blue mage behind an expansion or not
faint flare
Well only way to use it
little swift
Painflare is aoe too iirc
faint flare
Bo
neon aspen
neon aspen
so if you double tap RT itjumps to the bar above
little swift
And energy siphon is aoe too
neon aspen
and you can also do RT->LT to show a new crossbar too
little swift
Trance makes them instant cast
odd needle
I hate all of you for using cross bars while I can't. ๐ญ
faint flare
Painflare, energy siphon, outburst, bane dots, energy assaults with garua out
remote lintel
you can change the shape of your regular hotbars
little swift
You can use controller on pc
faint flare
All your aoe at 60 prior to deathflare
remote lintel
they dont want to use controller channy
odd needle
Yee.
simple shore
I dont really see why you'd care about hotbar shape
odd needle
I don't wanna deal w/ one of my controllers dying mid-anything and my hand is normally on the keyboard anyway.
simple shore
Function is most certainly more useful than form when it comes to your UI
remote lintel
wired controllers dont die
odd needle
Balmerick, I'm just asking for less clutter once all my skills get filled up.
burnt flicker
could just wire your controller ๐
remote lintel
you can change the shapes of your regular hotbars illeanna
odd needle
That's the best idea yet. lol

No, I haven't finished my Lv20 class quest yet. That might be it.

I'm trying to start Paladin.
remote lintel
you also need to do the lvl 20 msq "slyph management"

oo paladin is at lv 30 i think
simple shore
@icy sentinel Try at around 5AM-8AM EST
median locust
Gladiator quests are prerequisites to Paladin quests
patent citrus
lv 20 should be still gladiator questline

Yup. I finished all the Glad quest.

first time playing this game but ill live

What server are you trying to join?>

I started on Sarg as well. 5-8 am is definitely the window
