#questions-and-help
faint flare
leaden ginkgo
yeah you can have cross world parties and visit other servers
wispy parcel
other worlds on your DC anyway
leaden ginkgo
you can borderline switch to another server with just visits, except for the abilities to buy a house, get married or view retainers
faint flare
Only FC and housing is server specific...and weddings
leaden ginkgo
though
depending on which part of the EU you're from
some servers have bigger populations of certain language
which can help you

Hmm..then why dungeon search takes such long? (~5min).. i have exp in other mmo and for example in Rift dungeon search for tanks took ~20sec..
unborn bay
Hey quick question y'all... do you have to do the low level dungeons and guildhest to progress and unlock the next level?
I'm on a fast xp server and I'm way passed the level of the current dungeon (level 20 and I'm level 34)
faint flare
Because not too many people search for low level stuff and only get put into it via roulettes
wispy parcel
@unborn bay if its part of the MSQ then yes you do
wispy parcel
yea queues get noticably better the higher your level, at least in my experience
unborn bay
do guildhests level with me? or do I have to play one to unlock the next one?
wispy parcel
play one to unlock the next
minor oak
Oh ok.. maybe u know what server is popular for russians? Im not racist or nacist, just wondering coz english is my 3rd language and im afraid its awful hehe
unborn bay
oh ok so they're not necessary in a world when I have fast as fuck xp
I focus on dungeons basically
faint flare
There isnt a super big russian steorotype or preference afaik
unborn bay
Unlock everything I can through main quest and side quest (blue with + icon)
faint flare
Or community
leaden ginkgo
this may be out dated but
wispy parcel
Not sure about Russian, in European severs, if they arent speaking english, its either german or french

Sephirot

Very explicitly no H
weary burrow
Got my hopes up
marble drift
not the white haired emo boy you're thinking of
vivid thorn
you need to clear Sephirot before Zurvan, right?
faint flare
Yes
marble drift
yes
faint flare
And sophia
marble drift
Sophia at least has a mechanic that no other fight has had since
vivid thorn
Sophia comes before or after Zurvan?
faint flare
Before
marble drift
before
remote lintel
zurvan is the last
faint flare
Sephirot > sophia > zurvan
vivid thorn
I would recommend then to run these 3 before starting SB
vivid thorn
even though Sophia may have the least mechanics that return later in the MSQ
faint flare
No
Cause her mechanics have already appeared
You dealt with stage tilts in Leviathan
faint flare
All normal modes are basically recycles of basic shit
marble drift
infact she recycles more than the other 2.
remote lintel
i cant even remember what normal sophia is i only remember ex
faint flare
Only really Sephirot brings something new
With the blue knockback

Much shorter or a bit ?

Post hw is like 40 or do quests
vivid thorn
how many of the mechanical bases do I have covered if I run the whole triad?
twilit arch
there's only 44 quests
faint flare
Vs like 80
twilit arch
but they're longer story wise
marble drift
You already have the mechanic bases from doing msq required stuff
stack together, kill adds, tanks get punched. etc etc
vivid thorn
I feel it's insufficient
marble drift
nothing special from the triad
faint flare
And if you dont you're bad at learning

What should i do with all the material im getting dropped by mobs here and there? Just sell it for the 1-3gils they cost?

if I was good enough to down the Triad in EX maybe I would no longer have to fear the MSQ...
remote lintel
drag it
marble drift
you shouldn't fear the MSQ to begin with
remote lintel
you dont need to fear the msq because the msq is faceroll
vivid thorn
not uniformly so to a new player
marble drift
EX triad is LEAGUES more difficult than the stuff the MSQ has you face
twilit arch
MSQ is intended to be easily completed by anyone
being able to clear EX is not necessary at all to understand or be decent at the msq
marble drift
also spoilers. you don't have to be decent. you can just sorta trial by fire
faint flare
People can clear ultimate, the hardest content in the game but still be shit another stuff
sly willow
hey it's me again. my mate ran into a propblem where he can't glamour his hat or shoes even though it's the same class and the item level is below the one from the item he is wearing. anyone else know what's going on or ran into a similar problem?
marble drift
and get a little burnt. its msq. not life or death
remote lintel
@sly willow is he not in a city
leaden ginkgo
yeah you can be terrible and clear all the basic msq dungeons or so
faint flare
And if you die then who cares
sly willow
he is in a guest room in gridania
leaden ginkgo
you'll get rezzed and that's all xD
vivid thorn
for now I didn't find them all uniformly facerollable
twilit arch
what is the item he's trying to glamour and what is the item he's wearing
marble drift
yeah we need some more details
faint flare
Because you dont know whats going on
woven night
whats the best job for doing fates in the yokai watch event?
sly willow
he's wearing the ilvl 270 gear and tries to glamour a ilvl 265 item
remote lintel
blue mage
twilit arch
ilvl doesn't matter
remote lintel
what are the items
twilit arch
what matters is the level required to equip the gear
faint flare
Learn the aoe.markers which arw standardised across content
twilit arch
so if he's wearing a lv 60 item, and the item he's trying to glamour is 71
it won't work
vivid thorn
but I am new enough for any difficulty differences between MSQ fights to matter personally
remote lintel
many new players clear the entire msq no problem
simple shore
Without asking here either. MSQ is intended to be clearable without having to look anything up.
marble drift
we don't expect you to be good at the game ever.
woven night
what spells dose blue need for doing fates? my only aoe rn is glower
marble drift
Missle
vivid thorn
I can tell the difficulty difference pretty clearly between MSQ fights
sly willow
Alright we found the problem. we thought it was the item level that made the difference not the base level of the gear
simple shore
Missile, Dragon/Ram Voice, White Wind are pretty much all you need.
winged solar
how do i level up alts? do i do msq again?
remote lintel
!faq altlvlguide
vivid thorn
but it's probably because I am a bad player as well
zinc orbitBOT
faint flare
Probably
leaden ginkgo
everyone is bad when new, that's fine
remote lintel
bad players can clear the msq
marble drift
how can you be good without being bad first?
simple shore
The bar for clearing the MSQ is....really low. really really low.
vivid thorn
they only need to get good at mechanics
remote lintel
for msq sure
faint flare
They only.need to be attentive
marble drift
see thing on ground = get out of it. will basically suffice for all msq fights
faint flare
And kill add
marble drift
kill them add
faint flare
Until killing add kills you
vivid thorn
but if you can execute mechanics perfectly then you can get away with not knowing the class
faint flare
Then dont kill ot
remote lintel
we already told you thats wrong
leaden ginkgo
I mean yes but
marble drift
except
leaden ginkgo
its gonna take forever to kill the boss if you're dps
marble drift
you can get away with not knowing mechanics
simple shore
Knowing job > > > > > > "i know the mechanics"
marble drift
AND not knowing your class
its MSQ
not a fucking driver's license test
fail. suck. no-one gives a hoot
remote lintel
also endgame content is vastly different from msq content
marble drift
the only way you're gonna get better is to suck
remote lintel
for endgame content you NEED to know your class

what zone is the hotspot for stormblood fate trains?
gritty oracle
the lochs are said to be pretty good
tidal osprey
cant believe i didnt play dnc earlier, the amount of aoes that it has is disgusting. I've never cleared a dungeon faster
simple shore
I assume its either Lochs or Azim Steppe.
leaden ginkgo
the aoe's and potencys are pretty disgusting

Fringes/Peaks are split in half, as is Yanxia. Ruby Sea has giant swathes of deadzone

Is it actually possible to macro blu abilities?
Like, 'cast aoe on target' type shit?

Yes
agile laurel
How? Just typing the name like usual didn't seem to work

Uses like /blueaction iirc
simple shore
/blueaction “spell name”
agile laurel
perf. is there any way to get /macroicon working for that?
simple shore
/micon “<name>” blueaction
agile laurel
excellent
leaden ginkgo
if you have a burst ability and/or are lazy you can also do /levelsync on in the same macro

Hey guys, new player here. So, the other day I made a free trial account, created a character and started playing. Yesterday I had to reset my pc entirely so I need to download the game again.
The problem is that everytime I try to log in with my free trial account it asks me for a serial number (from the full version I guess) and I cant access to the game.

Are the legendary Yokai medals random drops, or is there something you have to do to get them besides having the Yokai Watch and Yokai minion equipped?

@knotty haven you don’t need the watch equipped for the legendary tokens, only the minion out
And yes they’re random drops
simple shore
You can make a macro with

Legendary medaps are random and only need the minion

Thank you.
Does BLU get their own gear other than the starting set, True Blue?
Or do they mostly depend on "All Classes" stuff?
short sparrow
Indeed. 🙂
agile laurel
blu gets a job gear coffer at level 50
and a couple of pieces available for purchase at level 60 but they just have the exact same IL and itemisation as alex savage
obsidian patio
Another thing to note is that Blue Mage scales a lot of their damage from the Intelligence stat as their weapon as for glamour
So keeping your gear up to date is much more important to them
winged solar
do those quests after the ultimate weapon tend to give way less exp? (i get like 4-5k per each when i used to get 30-40k)
obsidian patio
Yes
agile laurel
yeah blu weapons have zero stats
obsidian patio
They’re quests that weren’t meant for leveling up your character
short sparrow
What does it mean for them to be a "limited" job?

short sparrow
Then why is there mount roulette vs flying mount roulette?
I believe you're saying the truth of course, I just wonder... huh?
agile laurel
blu is how it is because they wanted to make a proper blue mage (i.e. entirely fucking overpowered) so couldn't balance it while keeping the vibe

Because not all mounts could fly, and I guess SE forgot to remove the “flying mount roulette” action button

Are there still class quests after ARR? I'm a level 55 DRG, and noticed that there's abilities locked for levels 52/54. I don't see an option for a class quest underneath the MSQ though, so I'm somewhat confused

You have to have reach the expansions to do their job quests

is there a way to have your idle animation, when your weapon is drawn, to automatically use the alternative version? ex. samurai idles with sword infront, but his alt is when his sword is by his side behind him, is there a way to make that alternative one your default?
i just really like the way his alt one works but hate hitting change pose
leaden ginkgo
do /cpose and it should automatically switch to the other pose after some seconds of standing still
warped nest
That is exactly what they don't want
restive relic
ya was just wondering if you could get the cpose as the default
remote lintel
not really

ok, but i see what youre saying, it eventually turns into cpose after a while

@restive relic you can try going into character config > control > character and setting the idle animation delay to 0

Hey, im poping in quick but is there any simple and straight to the point guide for leveling up a crafting class? Like, i dont really care about all the details, im just trying to get a level 70 crafter for a mount.
restive relic
thought so, i know you can level sync but should i look for fates at my level pref? @remote lintel
remote lintel
@halcyon willow go to ishgard restoration and spam those crafts
also beast tribes
but you dont really need beast tribes

Do GC turn ins to level up crafters a lot with zero effort

Beast tribe is decent exp for next to no effort while waiting for queue

warped nest
Just fly around and get stuff killed
solar surge
For DRK, should I focus skill speed, determination, or tenacity (between those 3, not counting other stats, it's for a Materia). I've yet to see somebody say that tenacity is good, but I thought that was the best stat for tanks?>
gloomy mortar
Alternatively, just ask your FC if they can craft a mount for you
twilit arch
remote lintel
@halcyon willow leveling 1 crafter at a time as opposed to all of them at once will cost more gil, also you will need to gear them as you level
twilit arch
Tenacity is an efficient stat for what it is, both increasing damage and mitigation at a nominal rate.
Tenacity is currently regarded as a progression stat, in a similar vein to Vitality melds of old;
Helpful on occasion and can save your life, but not enough to warrant continuous, future use.
The gain of Tenacity is not in reducing healer load. The gain is in the “insurance policy.”
Tenacity could be useful. It could save your life. But you won’t see tangible benefit from Tenacity
until that moment where you almost die.

Well if you do 3-4 duty roulettes daily, you’ll have enough to buy items for GC turn ins and Tradeleves. Check other servers for the lowest prices on the MB. In about a week, you’ll be leveled up a lot. Takes zero effort in learning crafting, don’t have to buy tools, etc @halcyon willow

Are the hard lv50 ARR dungeons in the MSQ really hard? Or do you just cruise by?
glad comet
Its not that bad
One or two 'hard' dungeons have some really jank mechanics, which you'll never see for the rest of the game.
Those ones are the most annoying ones.
Not hard, but annoying.
twilit arch
basically the "hard" tag for dungeons is just there to differentiate between the two
glad comet
The trend of 'hard' dungeons also carry into Heavensward & Stormblood (briefly)
turbid crystal
I’m looking ahead, because I’m doing the end of 2.0 quests and at The Ultimate Weapon and so far you can be half as sleep and still win
glad comet
Most of the 'hard' dungeons are optional content
warped nest
Hard is more like remix of the dungeon
turbid crystal
Ah. I see. Thanks
glad comet
but if you're someone who wants to unlock everything, then go ahead

Over a simple "we buff the boss and give it more health"

your first idea would be better. means you would get the bonuses from your boyfriend signing up

you could use each other's code
wicked blade
is that possible
twilit arch
yes, once you buy the game and apply the codes to your account you can generate a RAF code
you only become ineligible to put a RAF code into your account once you pay for a sub
The 30 days free from starter/complete edition do not count as buying a sub

people fall into the trap of thinking dualcast makes rdm more mobile

twilit arch
and it doesn't
little swift
Blm has more movement for longer if it needs
remote lintel
has an instant teleport with very short cooldown
raven burrow
isnt the strong point of blm standing still?
little swift
Dual forces you to only be able to move every 3 secondsout of 5

it needs to stand still to attack usually

i mean that's every mage in a nutshell though

yeah true

warped nest
@raven burrow while you don't micromanage your pet
At highest level
SMN has a tad more moving parts
To break it down simply:
- you have a big 2 minutes cycle where you prep for summoning ||bahamut|| and ||phoenix||
- keeping up Dot
- Spending Aetherflow for additional damage
- commanding Pet to attack to build buff for your Ruin spell
gritty oracle
Why do people meme on rdm dps when I consistently pull top 1 or 2 dps on it, even with lowish gear (480 on sos ex)? I usually only get overdpsed by melees or if I die a lot. Like, is it an outdated meme?
warped nest
The die a lot part
RDM has an ability that allows them to back hop
So it is very easy to misjudge the distance
And kill yourself
raw solstice
it's not about that, no
little swift
People meme on it for the same reason tier lists exist
warped nest
In raids or trials
little swift
They take dps numbers at face value
warped nest
Oh, I always thought it is like the Dragoon meme
gritty oracle
I don't usually use displacement while progging. I treat it like broil: figure out slowly when I can get away with it.
raw solstice
it's entirely a case of "equal skill and gear", RDM will be lower on personal dps
but skill is a big part of that
remote lintel
your other dps probably weren't black mage, summoner, or samurai
raw solstice
and the difference isn't massive
nah like you can even outdo those jobs on RDM if you're good on the job and they're bad to mediocre on theirs
remote lintel
playing optimally i mean
agile laurel
displacement is kinda pointless unless you expressly need the backstep
raw solstice
it's not
warped nest
It is damage
agile laurel
well yes but just use engagement
warped nest
Displacement is more damage
agile laurel
wait seriously?
raw solstice
yes
little swift
Yes
warped nest
There is a short phase where engagement does more
agile laurel
well
gritty oracle
it doesn't upgrade, you get a different skill that shares a recast times, has 50 less potency but doesn't backflip
agile laurel
i blame RDM traits being obscurely named as fuck
twilit arch
The main reason you would use engagement is if you know you're going to die from displacement
otherwise you should 100% be using displacement over it
warped nest
Engagement is not an upgrade, it is an alternative
remote lintel
trait?
warped nest
XD
zinc orbitBOT
Powered by XIVAPI
warped nest
Yeah, so you have engagement which is weaker but doesn't move, and displacement which is stronger, but launch you backward
raw solstice
there can also be a use case for if you need to double weave with it to not miss a use, or things like that
agile laurel
thanks for pointing that one out, xivanalysis
little swift
It just checks whether you use one or the other
Its not programmed by fight to know if you can manage to do it without dying
agile laurel
insert rant about rdm traits doing approximately 7 more unrelated things than their names suggest
warped nest
Something being used
Is better than nothing
So if you are uncertain, just do engagement
