[lean yarrow]

I'm looking for a specific yokai guide I saw yesterday but didnt save... it had the specific zone each minion needed to give weapons. Anyone have that particular version handy? I'm only seeing the official and short articles that don't have that particular info

[remote lintel]

check pins

[faint flare]

In the pins

[lean yarrow]

thank you!

[wintry chasm]

You can craft soot black and it should also be available from Ixal beast tribe vendor but that's probably further ahead in the game than you are @raven glen

[remote lintel]

soot black also isn't true black btw

it's a little greenish

[wintry chasm]

Eh

The dye kinda depends on the gear

[frosty atlas]

Hi! My friends want to join me on Spriggan, but the server isn't accepting new players. Will this be lifted in hours, or days? Is there a way to "invite" them as a player who plays on that server for some time?

[verbal forge]

are dyes unlockable or is it like 1 dye potion per gear?

[raven glen]

how do you know where i am

[wintry chasm]

Sometimes a soot black can look pretty black and sometimes it looks a bit grey

[remote lintel]

because you asked how to dye

[faint flare]

!faq serverlock

[zinc orbit]

Why can't I enter this server?

Standard, Preferred, and New Servers will dynamically open and close themselves from newly created characters depending on how many players are online. To ensure you're able to make a new character on your server try waiting or doing so at a less active time of day.
Congested Servers will not unlock for new players or transfers until Square Enix removes the Congested Status.

[faint flare]

@frosty atlas

[wintry chasm]

What Cerberus said Kratos

[raven glen]

big brain

[frosty atlas]

So it's just a matter of a few hours?

[faint flare]

Yes

[wintry chasm]

You're probably like, level 20 main story at most

[remote lintel]

off hours

[raven glen]

25 but thats close

[faint flare]

Make a character when people sleeping is best

[raven glen]

damn

[short sparrow]

Are some leves considered 'rare' or am I just looking in the wrong place? There's no reason I need to 'finish' the available leves, but I'm trying to anyway.

[wintry chasm]

@verbal forge one pot of dye per gear

[remote lintel]

dyes are consumables

[verbal forge]

i see so its not like in gw2 where if you purchased a specific dye it becomes unlocked and you can use it for your other gears

[remote lintel]

nope

[short sparrow]

God, I WISH it worked that way.

[verbal forge]

yeah

[raven glen]

can you dye the metalic silver lining in the lvl 25 GLA armour ?

[short sparrow]

Some dyes are quite pricy.

[verbal forge]

and its a one time use only

[wintry chasm]

If it isn't dyeing when you try then no @raven glen

[raven glen]

kk

[short sparrow]

Yep, one pot, one use. Fashion is not cheap.

[remote lintel]

unless you got gold chocobo feathers

[wintry chasm]

And you can't dye different parts of the gear. You can only dye in the way the gear piece lets you

[verbal forge]

its all good all i want are glamours

[wintry chasm]

Yep, one pot, one use. Fashion is not cheap.
It's only expensive if you get the cool black and white

[remote lintel]

I use gold feathers for my jet black

[short sparrow]

But if I don't, how will everyone know how edgy my DRK is?

[verbal forge]

do u guys consider dragoon as edgy?

[remote lintel]

no

[short sparrow]

I don't consider DRK to be edgy outside jokes.

Sorry if that caused a misunderstanding.

[verbal forge]

DRK does look edgy ngl

[remote lintel]

oh my drk is hella edgy

[verbal forge]

kinda wish this game had more customization so i can have thunder thighs for my DRG

[short sparrow]

Haha well, I'm just not trying to be rude is the thng.

[remote lintel]

don't we all

[short sparrow]

I do wish this game had customisation features to... lets say a Saints Row 3 level.

[raven glen]

i looked so ugly i had to change color

[wintry chasm]

Oh speaking of Kratos to not miss stuff like dyes, just look out for

They unlock good things most of the time

[short sparrow]

This guildleve does NOT wanna show up for me.
https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Too_Close_to_Home

[white marlin]

Hey guys which EU server would you recommend for English speaker?

[verbal forge]

i'd prefer pso2 level of customization

[raven glen]

yeh ik i just do a few and then leave the rest for post MSQ or when i need it

[short sparrow]

Yes it's weird that I care.

[verbal forge]

i keep on forgetting those blue side quests 😄

[wintry chasm]

@white marlin Spriggan or Louisoix since they are preferred

Doesn't make a big difference

[raven glen]

what glamour?

transmog?

[remote lintel]

!faq glamour

[zinc orbit]

Glamour FAQ

'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.

[verbal forge]

im in love with this game already

[short sparrow]

My server is very not English-speaking. I wish I could read the Novice chat sometimes.

[verbal forge]

post arr content is so damn good

[short sparrow]

(I'm on Moogle / Chaos - if you're a French speaker, I recommend.)

[wintry chasm]

Yeah Moogle is often said to be unofficial French

[raven glen]

why is fashion fantasy so annoying and tedious

[wintry chasm]

Like Shiva is unofficial German

[remote lintel]

its not tedious

[short sparrow]

Maybe I will learn more French eventually.

Copy-paste chat into Google translate and try to learn.

[wintry chasm]

Doesn't really mention it and I don't really want to go and explain it right now but there is a glamour dresser where you can put all the items you want to keep for glamour reasons and also make "glamour outfits" which can be found in innrooms in the main cities

@raven glen

Should check it out in your free time

[white marlin]

@wintry chasm is it really a good idea to start playing on less populated server? Had some bad experience with them when playing wow in the past

[remote lintel]

all servers are populated

server population doesnt matter

[wintry chasm]

Preferred servers aren't that unpopulated

In fact it'll feel more busy

[short sparrow]

Difference between WoW and this is that old dungeons are still queued by cap players.

Due to roulette.

[wintry chasm]

Since there will be more new people there

Also matchmaking for dungeons and stuff are across the entire data center

[verbal forge]

so that means if im in tonberry jp, there's a high chance that im playing with other japanese people on a duty finder?

[short sparrow]

It will say after their name what world they are on.

If it is not your home world.

[verbal forge]

i see

[tawdry otter]

how can i get higher than 455 weapons?

[wintry chasm]

Yeah though Elemental is the most English JP data center @verbal forge

[white marlin]

Alright gonna choose one of the preffered ones , thank for the help!

[verbal forge]

i see

[vagrant copper]

You can also set up your duty finder to only accept people with their games set to certain languages. Though you'll be making your queues longer for mostly no reason

[remote lintel]

deepshadow gear, eden verse raids, neo ish gear, augmented neo ish gear, savage gear @tawdry otter

[wintry chasm]

Also if you have Japanese selected on duty finder that'll definitely match you with Japanese people @verbal forge

[remote lintel]

also your relic quest

[wintry chasm]

deepshadow gear, eden verse raids, neo ish gear, augmented neo ish gear, savage gear @tawdry otter
@remote lintel also the relic

[verbal forge]

i see

[remote lintel]

and the new EX

[white marlin]

One more question are guild cross server or not?

[wintry chasm]

No

Free companies are restricted to your home world

It's one of the only things that are

That said Free Companies are just social really. Not important for raiding

[white marlin]

ok thanks!

[tawdry otter]

what will be the easiest way to get? i mean deepshadow is little bit hard because you must farm first 10x Marks and the last item..

[wintry chasm]

That isn't really hard

[remote lintel]

no?

deepshadow is phanta gear

[wintry chasm]

Phanta tomestones are easy to get

[young fjord]

Just spam lvl 80 dungeons for phanta tomes

[remote lintel]

easiest way will be just buying the neo ish

[wintry chasm]

And the other thing is from the E4 fight which is easy

easiest way will be just buying the neo ish
@remote lintel no

Easiest is the relic

THEN Neo

[remote lintel]

yeah

[wintry chasm]

Also the relic is just better than Neo

[plain python]

can I bought back class quest equipment if deleted?

[coral token]

I am looking to have the Darkknight weapon Seeing Horde Guillotine crafted i bought all the mats. Where or how do i find a crafter who can make it 😛

[wintry chasm]

@plain python yes. Which level?

[plain python]

nope, just curious 😄

[remote lintel]

for lvl 60 you get it by doing hunts

[wintry chasm]

Oh

[remote lintel]

others are just calalmity or the guy underwater

@coral token find someone you really really trust

[coral token]

I just started playing like a month ago so thats not anyone who could actually craft it lol

[wintry chasm]

Pretty sure if you and someone agree to making it for you a GM can intervene if they try to screw you over

Also most people are nice anyway

[coral token]

needs to be a looking for crafters channel here lol

[tawdry otter]

And the other thing is from the E4 fight which is easy
@wintry chasm but you can only get 1 per week or not?

or SE changed it?

[remote lintel]

e4 has been unlocked for a while

e8 is weekly locked

[tidal yarrow]

what level can you start unlocking alliance raids

[remote lintel]

50

[plain python]

what to buy with Flame seals? It hits the cap and I cannot upgrade rank yet

[raven glen]

where am i supposed to get orange juice

[remote lintel]

from the vendor behind and to the right of her

[plain python]

vendor nearby

[tidal yarrow]

where do you unlock them?

[remote lintel]

"legacy of allag" for the lvl 50 alliance raids

in mor dhona

[tidal yarrow]

is there a npc?

or was it with msq

[remote lintel]

yes

its a side quest

[tidal yarrow]

alright

[wintry chasm]

Well

It's also MSQ now

I think it's around the end of the patch quests now

[tidal yarrow]

oh yeye, i finished msq but im helping a friend thats new and my memory is bad

[short sparrow]

I did the Crystal Tower for the first time about a week before it became mandatory. XD

[tidal yarrow]

actually i didn't finish it i miss like 3 quests but im sure its only cutscenes so yeah

[wintry chasm]

Yuuko finish it

[static widget]

Does anybody know when does the Yokai event end

[wintry chasm]

Next patch

[static widget]

Which date

[wintry chasm]

So like...over 3 months from now

[static widget]

Oh lol

More time for me to level up for the last two yokai lol

[cedar pumice]

how do you control where you teleport in e7? on ps4

[raven burrow]

with your thumbsticks

[cedar pumice]

both of them?

[raven burrow]

uh i dont remember, but i think it was the one for movement only

so left one

mightve been both

[green grail]

its the rotation of your character

so whatever does that, on controller

[raven burrow]

yeah left stick

[green grail]

camera rotation doesnt matter, just the character model

[cedar pumice]

so the way he’s facing?

[green grail]

yes, there's a visual effect under your character that rotates with it

[cedar pumice]

thx

[green grail]

if you get a debuff with an arrow to the left, your character will teleport to their left

[raven burrow]

do au'ra have access to all helmets and hairstyles? in contrast to hrothgars

[green grail]

most of them, yeah

[raven burrow]

wish we could get rid off the horns

but ill take this over fashion catastrophe that is hrothgar

[deft yarrow]

what are the viera like with head pieces now?

I thought I heard news a while back about them not having many head pieces what work well or something

[wintry chasm]

Same as release

If it goes over the actual head and it's not a hood 90+% it can't be worn

[deft yarrow]

as in you can't equip it? or it doesn't show?

[plain python]

is it worth to cast regen instead of just throwing a heal?

[wintry chasm]

Doesn't show

of course you can equip it

[raven sage]

It just doesn't show. Nothing stops you from equipping something unless it explicitly states on the clothing itself

[wintry chasm]

The game would be broken otherwise

[deft yarrow]

does the Au Ra also run into that problem?

[wintry chasm]

is it worth to cast regen instead of just throwing a heal?
regen would heal more over time

[leaden ginkgo]

no

[wintry chasm]

Just Hrothgar and Viera

[leaden ginkgo]

you just have horns sticking out of helmets as au ra

question can 2 man unsync lv 70 finish nidhogs rage?

[wintry chasm]

uhhhhh

wait 2 people level 70?

[deft yarrow]

kk, I'm a Au Ra atm and I am 99% sure I should still have my fantasia potion or w/e from the lvl50 quest. Havn't played in ages and was thinking of trying out one of the new races

[wintry chasm]

hats are overrated

[leaden ginkgo]

wait 2 people level 70?
@wintry chasm yes 2-3 i mean 1 healer

[wintry chasm]

I...doubt it? At the very least you're going to pretty much need to know the entire fight

[leaden ginkgo]

since its hard to que we will do unsync mode

i dont think its doable unless you have some good dps for the add phase

[raven sage]

You can open up a party finder

[leaden ginkgo]

I...doubt it? At the very least you're going to pretty much need to know the entire fight
@wintry chasm oic thanks for the headsup

cause you can die there even as a tank easily

[raven sage]

Try and grab more people

But yeah duty finder is useless there

[floral plinth]

hi all. saw that ffxiv changed the trial to lvl 60 so i wanted to try and get into ffxiv again. I can't download the trial client tho? Idk where to download it again.

[leaden ginkgo]

But yeah duty finder is useless there

lvl 75 shb dungeon also has some arm pieces w/tattoos iirc

hey new to FFXIV, so i got to limsa from ul dah and want to be a rogue cause thats the class i wanted to play when i got the game. I understand it starts me at level 1 but how do i level it so i can do main quests with the class and dont have to go back to the class i started with?

hunting log and leves until level 16 which is when you get your first dungeon

leves?

[wintry chasm]

Once you unlock rogue you just equip the daggers to level it

and then yeah hunting log is great

leves not so great

[leaden ginkgo]

dont know what those are

[wintry chasm]

Leves are little repeatable quest kinda things that are given out by "levemetes"

[keen fable]

focus on hunting logs and fates

not leves

[wintry chasm]

they have a kinda silver card icon on the map where a levemete is

Yeah hunting log is ❤️

[leaden ginkgo]

ok, should i go back to uldah and do those or stay in limsa?

[keen fable]

your hunting log will take you to places around limsa

[wintry chasm]

Your hunting log mobs would be in Limsa area

least for the first section

[keen fable]

till your third section of hunting log, you'll stay within la noscea

[leaden ginkgo]

ok thank you

!faq meta

How slow is it to get to 60 once you complete post ARR content?

HW has alot of quests

[craggy pivot]

si iam 50 now, i heard there quick ways to rise item level, its just follow MQS? or do dungeons?

something else

follow the msq

[wintry chasm]

Have you finished the base story yet?

[keen fable]

[wintry chasm]

No

[wintry chasm]

Go to Mor Dhona and you can buy ironworks gear with poetic tomestones

it's ilvl 120

[toxic ridge]

Does anybody know what this body armour is called? I love it so much

[craggy pivot]

is it worth to spend them now?

maybe save for higher level?

its actually 130 now ;p

level 60 poetic gear

[keen fable]

i'm deciding whether i should just go do potd to get to 60 or continue in the msq, i'm itching to play GNB

[leaden ginkgo]

just do highest dungeon

[toxic ridge]

@wintry chasm I owe you my life, thank you

[keen fable]

well, dps queues say no to doing dungeons

[plain python]

should I spam Holy in dungeons? It looks fun, deal damage and stun. Like a flashbang

[wintry chasm]

Well the best answer I can really give Dark is it'll take as long as it'll take

Also yes you usually want to spam Holy since it's aoe

[leaden ginkgo]

healers should always help with DPS yes

[wintry chasm]

just don't forget to heal when needed

[oak smelt]

are there any guides/tips/videos out there about where to place the UI stuff as you progress? especially in large party dungeons. i just did my first 24 character dungeon in the tower thingy and the alliance bars were blocking the center of the screen. I thought of putting them to the right side where the quest log goes?
But even then with a large party the mob aggro bars to the left get hidden.

wut do.

[lyric warren]

what do i do with "puppet's coin" ?

[leaden ginkgo]

exchange alongside a manufactured coin for items to upgrade crystarium gear

[wintry chasm]

Just have to go to HUD Layout and get it comfortable really Cev

[oak smelt]

yeah thats what i figured, trial and error

thanks

[wintry chasm]

can buy Crystarium upgrade items with it in Eulmore @lyric warren

The "glorious gewgaws" guy

[verbal forge]

should i get ironworks gear with the poetic emblems?

or should i save it for later?

[wintry chasm]

No reason to save

you get so many from MSQ duties/optional stuff

Just get Ironworks now

[verbal forge]

I see thanks ❤️

[twin stream]

Does anyone have a link to the Collectables Exchange somewhere online?

I know they never change now, but when you're in the field kind of need to be able to see what the values are.

(not under Timers now either)

[oak smelt]

am i gonna unlock a lot more glamours when i reach 60 in the heavensward part?

[wintry chasm]

I...guess?

You can get the poetic gear sold in Idyllshire

pretty dapper coats

[oak smelt]

my FC friends told me to save my monis till i get 60. then decide.

[wintry chasm]

Sounds kinda arbitrary to me but I guess a level cap would be better than halfway through an expansion

[tidal yarrow]

how much before maintenance?

[wintry chasm]

!maint

[tidal yarrow]

[oak smelt]

Is it important to do the chrystal tower quests before starting the MSQ after ARR?

[wintry chasm]

It's ARR mandatory now

sooo yes

[oak smelt]

aight

[raven burrow]

do i have to finish a certain quest to donate to foman enclave?

[frosty badger]

yes

[half kraken]

Uh how should I be getting wind crystals

[raven burrow]

ive done all of stormblood msq but cant donate, and i see no quests in the enclave

[half kraken]

They sell on the mb like 6000 of them for 500k total though I just want like a few hundred

[frosty badger]

do you have a miner or botanist retainer, @half kraken ?

[topaz scroll]

question on snapshotting. If i apply an unbuffed dot then extend the timer with a buffed dot, the dot wouldn't be buffed right?

[half kraken]

No should I make one of them that?

Which one do I do, min or btn

[frosty badger]

not necessarily, it's just more convenient option

[little swift]

@raven burrow there are some sidequests you have to do in mordhona to unlock it

[half kraken]

Idk what I should do with my retainers anyway so it's fine

One is a 63 monk and the other is just sitting around

[frosty badger]

what's your home city?

[half kraken]

Uh why does that matter lol

[little swift]

@topaz scroll how are you extending the timer. Reapplications of a dot overwrite the previously one

[worthy junco]

Experienced MMO player, but brand new to FFXIV. Is there a North American server I should opt for, or are they both well populated etc? Will be looking for PvP in the end if that makes a difference. Thanks in advance.

[topaz scroll]

Oh reapps don't extend buffed dots anymore?

Sorry read that it used to be like that

[minor oak]

Hello. As newbie, should i do all quests i see? If im 21lvl, should i do lvl 15 quests? Or i should do only main story till i reach it for same lvl i have and then do side quests?

[raven sage]

They never extended duration, only reset them back to full

[young fjord]

@minor oak Only do sidequest if you are interested in reading text

If you are not, skip them

[topaz scroll]

oh wait i get it

[young fjord]

Or like pick them up and do them if they are across your way

[topaz scroll]

Thanks guys!

[frosty badger]

@half kraken so i can look for something close

[half kraken]

I have my min and btn maxed if that's what you're wondering

[frosty badger]

there're 17 gathering nodes for wind crystal

[halcyon glen]

Do anything with those icons

[minor oak]

Oh, okay.. if i buy Complete collectors Edition Digital Upgrade my trial version will became full one?

[halcyon glen]

No

You need to buy the Complete edition

[half kraken]

How does my home city affect my retainers at all

[frosty badger]

it doesnt

[halcyon glen]

The collector’s upgrade is bonus items

[minor oak]

Thank you all. Is there any possibility to buy collectors edition for ps4 with discount? Ive missed sale at story when it was :(

[halcyon glen]

Well once you have the Complete edition, upgrading it to Collectors is half off

But atm there are no sales on the game itself afaik

[minor oak]

Oh, im sorry. I meant Complete edition

[halcyon glen]

Yeah you just missed a big sale unfortunately

I wouldn’t expect another anytime soon

[minor oak]

Disaster.. not able to pay 55euros rn. That discount was good but i tried game only yesterday xd

Okay, thank you for help :)

[raven glen]

when and where do you get a mount?

[halcyon glen]

Via the level 20 sidequest “My Little Chocobo”

[raven glen]

what region ?

[little swift]

!faq mounts

[halcyon glen]

Unlocked upon completion of the level 20 MSQ “The Company You Keep”

[zinc orbit]

Mounts FAQ

'When can I get my first mount?'

The quest that allows you to use mounts, 'My Little Chocobo' is unlocked by completing the level 20 main story quest 'The Company You Keep'. The quest is located at the Grand Company base you chose and you'll need to buy the Chocobo Issuance from your Grand Company Quartermaster. You can get the 200 needed Grand Company seals by doing the main story quest that comes after 'The Company You Keep'.

'Are there any differences between mounts?'

Besides looks, all mounts are the same speed along with being able to fly in the expansion zones. Some mounts allow multiple people to ride at once.

'Can I make my mount faster?'

Zones have one or two ranks of mount speed that increase the ground speed of mounts. The first rank comes from completing specific quests in the main scenario quests, with the second rank coming from Riding Maps which are bought with either Allied Seals, Centurio Seals, or Bicolor Gemstones. Mount Speed Boosts do not increase the flying speed of mounts.

[raven glen]

ah nvm

i am on lvl 18 MSQ rn

Theres like 4854 strats

[nova umbra]

yeah, and it's really annoying

so when I see a PF saying, "Typical strat" I'm like, "Which one?"

on aether buddy system for everything seems to be the "typical" strat done, or we just discuss it when we get a full party going

[twin stream]

That's a new site to me, thank you!

[little swift]

I like buddy system as well because it translates well across multiple fights

[twin stream]

How do I use this site though lol...

[leaden ginkgo]

o yeah speaking of buddy system how do you do whm/blm towers w it? does each pair get a number and go into a tower based on that?

[static yacht]

yes

[little swift]

Yes

[static yacht]

if you're doing buddy system

and your tower is first

you are automatically 5

[little swift]

15 26 37 48

[leaden ginkgo]

ic ty

[static yacht]

It's the same method as THMR or w.e

the only difference is its "buddies" rather than THMR

[deft yarrow]

can someone explain to me what clipping is?

and why would higher ping result in clipping more often?

[opal bough]

Will ShB get new savage raids or are we done

[leaden ginkgo]

clipping is delaying your GCD in favor of an oGCD

[little swift]

@opal bough 5.4 will be the last 4 floors of the expansion

!faq weaving

[zinc orbit]

Quick guide to weaving/clipping

Click the image, then 'Open original'

[opal bough]

@opal bough 5.4 will be the last 4 floors of the expansion
@little swift thanks

[little swift]

The idea here is that every skill has a 0.7second cast animation

[remote lintel]

clipping is basically any delay to your gcd

[little swift]

So inside your 2.5 second gcd you can fit potentially 2 ogcds before you cast another gcd

Without delaying it

Clipping just means you did it wrong

[leaden ginkgo]

higher latency just means less room between GCDs to weave in oGCDs

[little swift]

And pushed your gcd back

[deft yarrow]

why would you have less room between gcds with a higher ping?

[remote lintel]

because it takes longer for the game to register it

[faint flare]

Because higher ping makes your skill que slower

Thus less time

As skilks come out latter and not first frame

[halcyon glen]

Less that there’s less room and more that the instant casts take longer to come out, meaning each uses more of the room you have

Or the weaves rather

[deft yarrow]

but i thought the skill queuing would solve the latency problem

[faint flare]

No, cause its taking longer to put skills in the que

[leaden ginkgo]

doesn't change that your game is taking longer leaving less room to weave inside a GCD window

[little swift]

You also have to consider with a higher latency the game doesn't always receive your inputs

[halcyon glen]

If it takes the game .5 seconds to register you clicked a weave, instead of 0.7s the skill actually takes 1.2s to come out out of a at most 1.8s (2.5s-0.7s for the instant animation lock) weave window

So you can only fit one of those per weave

[remote lintel]

there would be a delay between the time you clicked the skill and the skill actually happening

[deft yarrow]

There is a delay on all your inputs though, right?

[woeful nacelle]

What mount token is next in line next patch

[deft yarrow]

so if you were to do your first gcd and then start pressing your ogcd straight away why would there be a delay between those attacks?

[remote lintel]

it's barely a delay with low ping

if any

[faint flare]

Because of ping and the animation lock

[deft yarrow]

with high ping I mean

[faint flare]

Because its taking longer for the game to register you actually pressed it

[deft yarrow]

on both the gcd and the ogcd though right?

[faint flare]

On everything

[leaden ginkgo]

you can still do alright using single-weave rotations

[deft yarrow]

I'm not waiting to see the gcd animation start and then press the ogcd I mean I press the gcd and then the ogcd straight away

hypothetically

[faint flare]

Trying to double weave with High ping will make each ogcd within in gcd timer come out slower than normal and due to thr animation lock it pushes back the gcd

Even if you press right away

Immediately

The game takes awhile to register

Because of ping

Thats how latency works

[deft yarrow]

thats not how it works in all games though

[faint flare]

Ping is how long the game takes to register actions

[leaden ginkgo]

yeah but it's how it currently is in ff14

[deft yarrow]

it's harder? or impossible to double weave with high ping?

like is the timing more delayed?

[faint flare]

Hardwr to impossible depending how high

[deft yarrow]

I'm trying to understand why it is harder/impossible

[faint flare]

Like 100-150 is pushing it but 200+ is impossible

[deft yarrow]

I'm thinking in terms of how latency is handled in say a fighting game

and your inputs are delayed

[proud willow]

You can experiment if you want, but it would appear (to me at least) that the game doesn't queue more than one ability

[leaden ginkgo]

because on top of the animation lock you have to add in your latency to the equation, meaning skills take longer to register, which leaves less room in the GCD window to weave in another skill

[proud willow]

your input isn't delayed, it is ignored if there is already another ability queued

until that ability is processed

[deft yarrow]

ahh ok

[faint flare]

Higher ping basically slows down how quick the game does and registers you actually done ANYTHING

[rugged nimbus]

The time window you have to fit two weaves in after the gcd is reduced with high ping. Thats it. Thats the whole of it.

[deft yarrow]

I think I understand

makes more sense now

[little swift]

Its still possiblr to double at 180ms

You'll miss sometimes though

[keen fable]

i don't suppose there's a way to get ||crystal braves|| gear?

its blue :p

[leaden ginkgo]

isn't it a dyed version of GC gear

[open stump]

Hi, so I'm a new player currently playing WHM level 43, and i just have a quick question about cure. In dungeons, should I be using Cure I mainly in hoping to proc cure 2 for free or use cure 2 for more heals despite more mp use?

[faint flare]

Cure 2

Free cure is a noob trap

Healers want to be GCD efficient

[open stump]

Oh welp ive been doing it wrong...

[faint flare]

With lucid and all the tools you get later, you basically have infinite mana

[untold wharf]

Is there a way to help a Chocobo companion gain experience without having access to a free company’s Chocobo stable ?

[deft yarrow]

I've heard using a vpn or something of the sort makes it easier to play with a high ping?

[open stump]

I did stone vigil and noticed i had to use cure 1 a lot to keep up tank so i wasnt sure

[faint flare]

Cure 2 cuts out healing casts

[keen fable]

yea @leaden ginkgo thats why im wondering if i can get it

[faint flare]

Allowing more dps

Thus things die faster

[leaden ginkgo]

yea VPNs can help reduce latency

@untold wharf theres chocobo challenge log things too

[faint flare]

Thus you heal less

[twilit arch]

have it out while you're killing things in the open world @untold wharf

[leaden ginkgo]

im using one and it cuts latency by 20-30ms

[open stump]

ok, is it the same with cure 3? should i be using that instead of cure 2 then?

[leaden ginkgo]

no

[faint flare]

No

[open stump]

oh

[faint flare]

Cure 3 functions differently

Its a aoe heal

Not single target

Its aoe range is very small, so only really used for when people are stacked up

[open stump]

ooooh ok gotcha

[little swift]

Is there a way to help a Chocobo companion gain experience without having access to a free company’s Chocobo stable ?
@untold wharf you have access to apartment stables if you own an apartment

[open stump]

also, is it really bad if i dont dps as much as whm? im kinda nervous ill let tank die accidently lol

[faint flare]

Its bad yes

Everyone should dps as much as comfortable

[twilit arch]

if people don't need healing, there's no reason to be idle

[faint flare]

Rule 1) ALWAYS BE CASTING SOMETHING

Dont sit on your ass

[open stump]

i think my main issue was that i used cure 1 so i was spamming it a lot instead of DPSing

[little swift]

Theres no need to keep tank at 100% all the time

[faint flare]

^

[open stump]

and needed to use cure 2 instead

[little swift]

If theyre not stupid they won't die right away

[open stump]

The freecure really made me think it was better to use cure 1 lol

[faint flare]

Hp is a resource, people only meed enough to survive the next hit

[keen fable]

people are serious when they say that people play yoyo with hp bars

if you heal them past their max hp you've wasted a heal

[untold wharf]

@leaden ginkgo @twilit arch @little swift thank you!

[keen fable]

or, the amount past their max

[deft yarrow]

thanks again for all the info ❤️ ❤️

[open stump]

I mean I did DPS when i could but i figured out the issue was not using cure 2

[keen fable]

it's not uncommon to let tanks go to half hp or even lower before healing

[open stump]

Wait, so when should i heal tank? half hp?

oh i see

[faint flare]

Basically whenever you're comfortable

[leaden ginkgo]

you'll get a feel of when to heal and when to not as you level up

[faint flare]

It depends how much damage they're taking

[glacial brook]

You'll get used to when to heal with experience

[little swift]

You'll get better at gauging it as you go

[open stump]

ok i think i got it. my dumbass gonna use cure 2 now and hopefully thatll help

[glacial brook]

It varies a little from dungeon to dungeon and job to job and how the tank is playing

[open stump]

thank you guys!

[faint flare]

Also make liberal use of regen

Regen covers alot of stuff especially low level

Its your most mana effective heal

[open stump]

gotcha, thank you!

[keen fable]

Why does it feel like astrologian heals more than scholar and whm

does it? or am i just seeing things

[glacial brook]

I only played AST up to 80 and then stopped because I wasn't getting to grips with it for some reason, I think I wasn't playing it right because a lot of people will say they do infact heal more :x

[oak ice]

It heals more than Scholar, but not WHM

[faint flare]

Their heals are strong but needs alot of planning to use their tools effectively

See star, horoscope and neutral sect

[glacial brook]

It felt quite fiddly compared to the other two

[keen fable]

i stopped on my scholar at level 51, but it always felt as though astrologians could heal an entire healthbar whereas it took me 4-5 casts to heal in battle

i also know i didnt really get to most of my abilities yet too tho

[faint flare]

Scholar doesnt have much burst healing

Outside of aetherflow

[twilit arch]

Essential Dignity can do a lot of healing in one go

[glacial brook]

Scholar I think is more about damage reduction than healing

[twilit arch]

since its potency increases the lower the target it

[faint flare]

Plus ED is just good, like 1k potency when people are low

Or something

[keen fable]

i didn't really have much for shields yet at 51 either

prob just needed to wait a bit longer

[glacial brook]

I stick with WHM because it's less chance I'll disappoint a party :P

[keen fable]

whm seems too easy

which is why i want to play my next healer as astrologian ;p

am i relatively close to being done with post arr if i'm in 2.4?

[twilit arch]

yes

[keen fable]

cool beans

[crimson wind]

Where can I see all the rewards from Moogle and Namazu quests?

[split jay]

How do I tell which fates are gold or silver

[raven burrow]

is it possible to queue up for 24 man raids solo unysnched?

[twilit arch]

no, you need atleast 2 other people in the other alliances to queue for 24mans unsync

some of the instances, namely labyrinth, are going to require more people due to mechanics

[raven burrow]

okay too bad

[twilit arch]

@split jay not sure what you mean by which fates are gold or silver?

[elder meteor]

so on the roulette for leveling, it says I'd get 512 company seals and 2562 company seals. which of those is the base and which is the adventurer in need?

[split jay]

I’m trying to do the yokai watch event and it says that I need to do gold or silver dates

[twilit arch]

no, you need to get gold or silver participation when doing fates

@elder meteor top row is the roulette bonus, second row is adventurer in need bonus

[split jay]

Oh

[elder meteor]

@twilit arch thanks

[split jay]

Nvm I forgot to equip the watch lol

[elder meteor]

do quick exploration ventures not count as exploration ventures for the challenge?

[twilit arch]

no, they don't

the 18hr ventures are the ones that count

[elder meteor]

ok cool

does gear matter for retainers at all except for getting ilvl up to meet minimum reqs?

[glacial brook]

Better gears definitely gets better items for quick exploration, not sure about the other types

[elder meteor]

thanks

[solid estuary]

After 50 how long does it take to hit 60?

[hasty reef]

Are there any better ways to grind lv as a tank than fates/dungeons? Im at 73 and this is starting to get mind numbing

Not that long if you're doing main quests

[elder meteor]

@solid estuary took me like a day maybe, but I was mostly doing main quests and daily roulettes

[patent citrus]

i haven't finished heavensward and i'm already lv 66

from daily roulettes and MSQ

[solid estuary]

And I have to finish post arr for the next skills?

[little swift]

@hasty reef beast tribes are an alternative

[patent citrus]

I think so yeah

there will be a text saying when will you get your next job skills

[little swift]

Yes you unlock heavensward job quests when you unlock heavensward

[autumn wigeon]

What stat allows a higher chance of getting a HQ item when gathering?

[elder meteor]

perception

[autumn wigeon]

I need to level my other crafters so I can actually make decent gear for myself

the MP is pricey af

[proven bay]

Yeah, that's what I did

Leveled my crafters along with my MSQ so I could have good gear

It saves you a ton of money in the long run. I can now basically make anything cost-free if I want to

[remote lintel]

can you invite people to your party finder directly

[latent bloom]

If i have my Atma weapon already and working on the next step, can I still use my Atma weapon to get more Atma, or do i have to start over with a different weapon.

[twilit arch]

you need a zenith to gather atmas

[leaden ginkgo]

heeey, so when ishgard housing drops do FCs get priority at first?

[twilit arch]

we don't know given they haven't officially announced ishgard housing

[unkempt oasis]

if i discard a relic can i get it again?

[leaden ginkgo]

but if we go based off of shirogane

did they give FCs priority

based on patch notes it doesn't seem that way but i have no idea

[sick osprey]

i read on reddit that i can turn old gear (green/pink/blue) into company seals. how ?

[latent bloom]

Okay, do i have to finish my weapon completely, or can i somehow get my Atma weapon back to farm Atma

[covert jackal]

Any newcomer lover here?

[leaden ginkgo]

@sick osprey go to personnel officer at any GC HQ

[remote lintel]

need to get sergeant 2nd class

[obsidian patio]

@unkempt oasis you’ll have to regrind your relic to get it back

And yes war, Free Companies and people relocating got priority for new housing.

[remote lintel]

if youre the leader in a party finder can you still invite people directly

[leaden ginkgo]

I mean that seems to be the trend, was just confirming

[solid estuary]

Yo can't wait to home up with my homies

[fringe lotus]

when does my "sprout" status go away?

[proven bay]

How do you create synergy within your squadron?

[obsidian patio]

After 168 hours of playtime and entering Shadowbringers story

[unkempt oasis]

can i make relic weapons as glamour ?

[obsidian patio]

That’s basically what the older expansion relics are.

[proven bay]

You can also toggle it off, although I don't remember the command atm @fringe lotus

[leaden ginkgo]

/nastatus off

[obsidian patio]

But to clarify, any equipment can be used as glamour.

[proven bay]

There you go

[unkempt oasis]

i just want my eruka weapon glamour for the new relic

[obsidian patio]

Then you’ll have to work on the eureka weapon.

[unkempt oasis]

i have it already fully

[obsidian patio]

Then you should be able to buy replicas of the previous steps at an NPC in Kugane where you’d enter eureka

[unkempt oasis]

oh ok

so the relicas have the fully glow of the upgraded one?

replicas*

[obsidian patio]

They’re completely identical in appearance

[proven bay]

Can you buy replicas of the relic despite not having completed it fully? Assuming you have the stage you want

[obsidian patio]

They just have no stats

For Anima and Eureka you only need to be a step or two ahead of the replica you want

It’s only Zodiac that wants you to complete the whole thing for replicas

[jolly pine]

hi, i just started playing again after a year of not playing, having only touched it in may once. what should i do with the Irregular Tomestones of Law? i have 3 but i checked that the event ended with the new patch so should i just toss them?

[obsidian patio]

Not sure if you can get anything besides the fireworks with only three.

So yeah, I’d just toss them out

[swift forum]

Squadron mission question, does matching multiple affinities help or is one enough? I know one is enough to maximize all chemistry bonuses

[jolly pine]

@obsidian patio thank you!

[obsidian patio]

If you’re asking if meeting the chemistry requirement (like bring a thaumaturge) multiple times boosts it further, it does not.

[swift forum]

No, affinity

Mission can have up to 3 affinities (race or class)

[sharp meteor]

normal raid > alliance raid for exp?

[faint flare]

No, alliance raid roulette gives more

[obsidian patio]

That simply activates the chemistry as if you met it.

So the same thing applies, a mission that boost lalafells and rogues gives the same boost to a Lalafell, a rogue, or a lalafellin rogue.

[swift forum]

To my best knowledge, matching an affinity makes all chemistries active AND makes them better, and... possibly boosts the chance of success at least slightly (unless it's already maxed) but I can't find any like, direct actual official source or confirmation for this

No that last part you said is just plain wrong

Meeting ANY affinity maximizes the chemistries for ALL squadron members brought along

[rain pawn]

Hi! So I checked my missions, and I haven't completed "Treasures and Tribulations". I also haven't started it, because it sin't on my current missions. I went to H'loonh, and she won't give me the mission. What can I do? She doesn't even display the mission sign above her head.

[swift forum]

Quite simple to see in game - but there's really no indication about anything else being granted by affinity

Oh wait yea the in-game help accessed by the dude who gives the squadron missions does confirm that meeting an affinity boosts success chance too

Still no idea if multiple affinites are helpful

[raven burrow]

what are the clan mark logs for? mythic etc

[upper mortar]

How do you level BLU? Killing mobs or fates? Seeing as you cant duty finder dungeons

[sharp meteor]

are they making inventory management in the next xpac better?

[faint flare]

We know nothing for the next expansion

[frigid cedar]

Is there a more hype version of Eternal Winds in 5.3? I was looking through an app for ringtones and this more upbeat version of Eternal Wind plays but I can't find it complete anywhere

[tidal yarrow]

where can i get emperor stuff?

to make gear invisible

except mb

[young fjord]

@tidal yarrow In Mor Dhona

[faint flare]

Or vesper bey

[tidal yarrow]

where? :o

[young fjord]

NPC lalafel in market, just next to tent

[tidal yarrow]

do i have to do any quests

going rn

[faint flare]

Can also get off market

You need like lv15 crafters to buy them

[tidal yarrow]

and ppl selling it at 10k on mb

i knew i could get them somehow a lot cheaper

[faint flare]

You could maybe ask someone to buy them for you

[red sail]

did the castbar for chocobo companions got removed ?

[faint flare]

And just give them the gil

[tidal yarrow]

oh nono

i have crafter at 60im good

the lalafell doesn't sell it tho

where's vesper bay?

[halcyon glen]

Waking sands

[leaden ginkgo]

Is there a more hype version of Eternal Winds in 5.3? I was looking through an app for ringtones and this more upbeat version of Eternal Wind plays but I can't find it complete anywhere
there's the ff14 version which is just the theme that plays at the end of crystal tower

[sharp meteor]

is there a way to turn off damage numbers?

[tidal yarrow]

where at vesper bay? on the market nobody sells it

[faint flare]

Character config > ui > toggle Pop up text (turns others off) or Flying text (turns yours off, not recommended)

[leaden ginkgo]

Goberin
Vesper Bay (12.1-15.0)

[tidal yarrow]

thx

i was near the aetheryte

nevermind, neither him sells it

only glamour prisms and clear prisms

[leaden ginkgo]

he's the listed vendor for the set on the wiki idk

[halcyon glen]

There’s no Aetherite in Vesperia bay

Thanks autocorrect

[tidal yarrow]

ye i was on horizon, i found him now

but he doesn't sell it..

[raven burrow]

where do you buy that ilvl 400 gear for lv 70?

[twilit arch]

you need to do the quest "Absolutely Glamourous "

to unlock the emperor's new items on him

[faint flare]

Rhalgars

Or kugane

[halcyon glen]

@raven burrow Rhalgr’s or Kugane

[raven burrow]

which npcs?

[tidal yarrow]

thank you kael

[raven burrow]

i dont see it

the augmented scaevan stuff

[twilit arch]

you need to complete the main scenario quest "Stormblood" to see the npcs in rhalgr's reach, or to buy scaevan from the sundry vendor in kugane

[halcyon glen]

Enna in Rhalgr’s or Rowena’s Representative in Kugane

And yes obviously complete Stormbloof

[raven burrow]

thank you

is there an updated site like 14style for dungeon/raid armor etc?

[halcyon glen]

The best one I know of is a patch and a half outdated

[twilit arch]

https://www.ffxivcollection.com/

while its in JP, it links to the lodestone

[raven burrow]

[keen goblet]

What exactly does this mean?

[twilit arch]

some nodes have special bonuses on them

[leaden ginkgo]

increased chance of getting HQ items

[twilit arch]

that particular node increase HQ chance

[keen goblet]

ah alright, yeah that makes sense

Thanks 🙂

[full storm]

how do you make levequest to rotate, i keep getting the same one

[blazing crest]

How can i unlock advance materia melding?

[faint flare]

Level crafters then you can overmeld yourself

Also needs a quest over by mutamix

[uneven crown]

so uh how do you fly with mounts?

I just unlocked that I can use mounts

[halcyon glen]

Depends on the area

For all ARR zones, complete the MSQ “The Ultimate Weapon”

[uneven crown]

ah thats why

[halcyon glen]

for expansion zones, attune to all Aether Currents in an area

[uneven crown]

i had to press spacebar but it just jump thats it (did use a mount that allows me to fly)

i see

[lime geode]

for healers, is it crit > det = DH for materia?

[halcyon glen]

Piety to comfort then I think that’s right

[sharp meteor]

what can i dump excess allagan poetics into?

[blazing crest]

Debating on weaver or goldsmith. Which one would be better.

[gentle glacier]

Is there any hotkey to move a stack to the saddlebag?
Or sell the stack when a shop menu is open?
Like Ctrl+Click
Or is drag & drop the fastest option?

[halcyon grail]

Developing an alt and I want a suitably FF protagonist-y name. What do you guys think of a male hyur named "Gale Blackwood"?

[simple shore]

Given the presence of an NPC named Gales later, i would laugh at said name.

[halcyon grail]

Oof, good catch.

[simple shore]

Its a meme character

lol

[halcyon grail]

"Blackwood" still good?

[gentle glacier]

blackwood sounds suggestive...

[halcyon grail]

You horny

[gentle glacier]

yes

more like dirty-minded

[solid estuary]

When do you want to get the relic wepons

[halcyon grail]

How about Rally as a name?

[halcyon glen]

@solid estuary which relic

[simple shore]

Let's keep the degen to other channels.

[faint flare]

Primarily at cap, old relics are super grindy

And the new relic is a good starting weapon

[halcyon grail]

50 relics are a grind, Animus is p easy with Centurion marks.

[solid estuary]

ARR

[simple shore]

Dont bother with the ARR relic until you're 80. Its purely for glamour at this point.

[faint flare]

Do it at 80

[solid estuary]

OK cool

[halcyon glen]

Starting quest is obtainable from Rowena after the MSQ “The Ultimate Weapon”

[simple shore]

Or dont do it ever, that's also fine.

[halcyon glen]

But yes it’s pure glam

[halcyon grail]

Its not the worst grind I've ever done, buuuuut

also the 50 weapons dont interact neatly with the glamour armoire.

[raven burrow]

the idealized coffers contain the dyeable lv 70 class gear, right?

[halcyon grail]

So you'll need to prism manually.

[simple shore]

Level 80 i assume is what you meant, and yes.

[raven burrow]

uhm no lv 70

?

the class gear for stormblood

[simple shore]

Then no.

[raven burrow]

where do i get that then

[twilit arch]

Idealized coffers are for the lv80 dyeable job quests

[raven burrow]

or n/a yet?

[twilit arch]

lv70 set is upgraded in eureka

[raven burrow]

oh fml

that whole fate grinding crap?

[faint flare]

Inside a big, seperate instanced overworld area yes

[elder meteor]

are the training missions for the whole squadron or just for the characters selected?

[faint flare]

Its for everyone thats not out on a mission

[elder meteor]

does the adventurer in need bonus count when you enter the queue or when you start the dungeon? i.e., if it says tank when I join the queue as a tank, but it changes to healer while I'm in the queue, do I still get it if I remain in queue as a tank or do I need to switch to healer?

[faint flare]

When you que

[elder meteor]

cool thanks. that'll save me from doing what I've been doing switching roles when it changes and restarting the queue lol

Free trial players can’t send tells

[heady knot]

ok thank you

just wondering if i dont sub will i lose character?

[wispy parcel]

Nope

stays forever

[obsidian patio]

SE never deletes your character

[heady knot]

ok nice

[obsidian patio]

You could be coming back from 1.0 before the game got relaunched and your character would still be there.

[heady knot]

so i hit lvl 50 so i keep doing story or should i just do unlockables stuff

[elfin edge]

you should at least get through the base part of ARR

it'll unlock a bunch of things

[manic sentinel]

Does the old 2 button macro to craft hq ishgardian gears work on the 490 crafting set? my current stats are 2528 craft 2355 control

[tender hull]

Can I just go through HW being on lvl 60? I assume I can

[obsidian patio]

@manic sentinel 5.3 rotations from The Balance https://ffxivteamcraft.com/rotation-folder/NjxawZew2DvxmE0mfjpT

And yes you can do HW at 60

[tender hull]

Right, thanks

[true forge]

im on the quest "good intentions" how do i unlock the previous primal trials for the hard difficulty

[faint flare]

Do the quest line in the waking sands that starts with a Recurring problem

[ocean vessel]

is thornmarch extreme required bc its hell to go through and i keep wiping 😦

[true forge]

do each of them?

[faint flare]

No

Extremes Are never required

Also dont que for extremes, you'll never clear it

[frigid cedar]

I found where the songs comes from, now I just want to know if said theme exists anywhere in the game. it plays during the shadowbringers trailer at 4:30

[faint flare]

A Recurring problem is a long quest chain that unlocks each hard mode primal

[frigid cedar]

when they show The Crystarium

[gleaming copper]

can I join the Novice Network as a trial user?

I know we can't join FCs, start parties, etc

[faint flare]

Yes, just need to be invited

[gleaming copper]

Oh neat, thanks

[shrewd owl]

@frigid cedar That’s a remix of eternal wind

[frigid cedar]

Yeah, I know. but is it anywhere in the game? it feels like its not part of the shadowbringers theme.

[shrewd owl]

Pretty sure it is

[frigid cedar]

It seems like its a trailer only thing.

[late igloo]

Is it too late to start this game? I bought the CE when it first came out, and played a Black Mage / Crafter for mainly a month, then never again. So basically super newb status. Is there too much to catch up on, or nah?

[frigid cedar]

I don't think its too late, there's plenty of content. imo

and a lot of new players are jumping in to play

[late igloo]

Well I want to mainly craft / gather. Is there still room in the economies for more crafters?

[frigid cedar]

I'd say yes, they even made leveling crafters and gatherers easier.

[compact rose]

For leveling up an alt DPS from 50-60, is it more optinal to grind the dungeons or grind through PotD?

[shrewd owl]

If you have fast dungeon queues then dungeons

If not then potd

[frigid cedar]

POTD is good if you're on a preferred server.

[compact rose]

Most optimal floors to grind in PotD?

[frigid cedar]

51-60. I believe.

[faint flare]

51-60

[compact rose]

Alright thank you. Is the Heaven or high one good as well?

[native kraken]

where is a good place to farm Fates as lvl 63?

[frigid cedar]

HoH is good, but you need floor 21-30. if I'm not mistaken

[faint flare]

HOH is for levelling 61-70

[frigid cedar]

HoH is good to level up 60-70

[gentle glacier]

What am I supposed to do after story quest "On to Little Ala Mhigo"?
I was left with no active main quest after the old man told me to get lost.

[twilit arch]

there should be a quest near the aetheryte

[swift bloom]

anyone have some tips to get the fishing mount from the ocean fishing?

I'm level 45 fishing

[gentle glacier]

don't see any

or you mean in the camp?
cause I kinda died
gonna go back and see

[twilit arch]

I meant at little ala mhigo

[gentle glacier]

you're right
thanks

[tall mirage]

@late igloo not too late to start. I just had my sister start it and she’s having a blast.

@compact rose 51-60

[leaden ginkgo]

where do i get skybuilders hemp

[little swift]

If its not grade 2 approved items

You might be able to find some on the market board but its discontinued now

[twilit arch]

just ignore the non grade 2 stuff tbh

no point in crafting the first set of restoration items

[tall mirage]

@leaden ginkgo level 15 node is moraby bay in lower la noscea

[twilit arch]

that is not correct, the phase 1 items were removed

[little swift]

@tall mirage no it isn't they removed those

[tall mirage]

Yup you’re right.

[willow vapor]

my cul desynth is 470.01 lv420 fish dont get many any exp anymore. how do i get to 490?

[patent citrus]

is true north useful for samurai?

starting samurai and confuse what this skill for

eliminate direction requirement?

[tall mirage]

@patent citrus only for Dps that need positionals.

[little swift]

you get positionals at lv52

its always useful for the dps that have them @tall mirage

[patent citrus]

oh alright, so it's for later

[twilit arch]

all melee have positionals

[little swift]

only melees get true north

meaning only melees have positionals

[patent citrus]

so as samurai which direciton i should attaack from?

[little swift]

@willow vapor start desynthing grade 2 diadem fish i suppose

[patent citrus]

not from the side cause I don't want to tickle to opponent

serious side

is it from the back?

[little swift]

sweetmeat mussle is probably a good one too

[willow vapor]

@little swift ok ill try that and see.

[tall mirage]

@patent citrus only skills that give bonus damage should be hit from that position.

[little swift]

@patent citrus you have one flank and one rear positional

at 52

[leaden ginkgo]

Hey uh big question for small brain peeplez like me, what's the name of the quest that lets me join Grand company? I heard mounts will be unlocked when u get into a GC

[little swift]

!faq mounts

[zinc orbit]

Mounts FAQ

'When can I get my first mount?'

The quest that allows you to use mounts, 'My Little Chocobo' is unlocked by completing the level 20 main story quest 'The Company You Keep'. The quest is located at the Grand Company base you chose and you'll need to buy the Chocobo Issuance from your Grand Company Quartermaster. You can get the 200 needed Grand Company seals by doing the main story quest that comes after 'The Company You Keep'.

'Are there any differences between mounts?'

Besides looks, all mounts are the same speed along with being able to fly in the expansion zones. Some mounts allow multiple people to ride at once.

'Can I make my mount faster?'

Zones have one or two ranks of mount speed that increase the ground speed of mounts. The first rank comes from completing specific quests in the main scenario quests, with the second rank coming from Riding Maps which are bought with either Allied Seals, Centurio Seals, or Bicolor Gemstones. Mount Speed Boosts do not increase the flying speed of mounts.

[wispy parcel]

You join a GC through MSQ

[spare plinth]

If you’re going through classes and leveling them up to 80, will that help you establish a basic rotation and idea about the class?

Healers dps and tank?

[lament citrus]

Does buying arr skip also clears crystal tower quest line requirements for 5.3?

[patent citrus]

ok maybe the job npc will explain me later

[twilit arch]

yes @lament citrus

[wispy parcel]

leveling the job is usually how you learn how to do its rotation

you can also practice on training dummys

[lament citrus]

I got friend who already stuck at 5.3 but doesn't want to do any crystal tower raids

[twilit arch]

buying a skip if they're already at 5.3 won't help them then

[wispy parcel]

Plus you really need the crystal tower raids to understand whats happening

[twilit arch]

"This item cannot be used if you have already completed the Stormblood main scenario quest "A Requiem for Heroes.""

same goes for ARR and HW skips

Crystal tower is super easy

[wispy parcel]

brain dead

[twilit arch]

no reason to balk at doing htem

[wintry chasm]

Yeah

[lament citrus]

I just can't force them since they got social issues that pervent them feeling comfortable plus when they tried to do stuff with randoms sadly they ended up with toxic player/s

[wintry chasm]

Paying that much money to skip only a few hours of contents stupid to say the least

Oh

[quasi widget]

maybe they should work on those instead of playing an mmo

[wintry chasm]

I take that back

[lament citrus]

And some ppl told me somehow arr skip counts for crystal tower

@quasi widget that's reason they joined mmo

[twilit arch]

It does, but as i said you cannot use it if you're already past the final quest of ARR

tell them to turn off alliance/party chat then

[wispy parcel]

it does but if they already beat stormblood you cant use it

plus again, the Crystal Tower raids heavily tie into the plot of ShB, especially in 5.3. IMO they shoulda made it required before even starting ShB

[lament citrus]

5.0 was actually tied to crystal tower but not as heavily as 5.3

[faint meadow]

What duties unlock the expert roulette and level 80 roulette in 5.3?

I've found the Twinning and Akademia so far

But there's one other one for 80

[wispy parcel]

Heroes Gauntlet

which is MSQ

[lament citrus]

The last two dungeons on msq for expert

[twilit arch]

expert is heroes gauntlet and anamesis anyder

[lament citrus]

^

[twilit arch]

lvl 80 roulette: ||Amourot||, Twinning, Akadaemia Anyder, Grand Cosmos

[ebon imp]

is there a possibility to change the state company(?) ?

[wispy parcel]

You can but it resets your rank

[faint meadow]

Ok, so i'll have to have basically unlocked everything through story from here, got it

[twilit arch]

ya

[unkempt burrow]

Hi, I'm returning to the game but creating a new character. I remember it being quite difficult to level up classes outside of the one you started with (this was before Heavensward); is this still the case?

[quasi widget]

nop

[keen fable]

would it be a bad idea to watch a video on 2.4-2.5 lore and skip the cutscenes? would I miss anything?

[ebon imp]

@wispy parcel a friend of mine is now in gridania but can'T get a option for it you got a link or something?

[quasi widget]

there's many more ways to level up alt classes now

[twilit arch]

if you care about heavensward's story, yes it would be

[keen fable]

fuck

:C

okay. 😦

[twilit arch]

2.4-2.5 is pretty heavily focuses on the lead up to heavensward

[keen fable]

gotcha. I'm at the tail end of 2.4 but i still have 32 or so quests before heavensward

and that gatekeeps astrologian, and the xp needed for level 60 for gnb

[twilit arch]

There's 23 quests in 2.5

[keen fable]

ye, then there's 2.55 tho

[wispy parcel]

@ebon imp they have to be second lieutenant in your current GC before you can change. At least last time I did it

[keen fable]

and the 4 quests left in 2.4

[twilit arch]

that's counting 2.55

[ebon imp]

@wispy parcel thank you

[twilit arch]

then you only have 25 quests to go

er 27

[keen fable]

sorry i have 8 quests left in 2.4

[twilit arch]

anyway, all of those quests are important to heavensward

so not recommend to skip them at all

[keen fable]

alright. i hope it doesn't take too much longer

i'm excited to play these classes

[wispy parcel]

basically the .4 and .5 patch in every patch cycle is the lead up to the next or later xpac

[tender merlin]

hello how do i pick an asian server to create a character on?

all the servers showing are al NA based

[remote lintel]

main menu > select data center

[tender merlin]

thank you ill check it out right now

where do i check for the highest populated server?

[dusty quest]

Hey so im new to the game trying to actually buy past the free trial, and i see theres a collectors edition sale right now for 40 bucks with all the expansions, but i cant find a way to buy it in mog station, is it only for someone who already bought the base content or...?

[leaden ginkgo]

anyone wanna lvl 74+ ?

[wispy parcel]

you have to buy it on the square enix store

[remote lintel]

you need to own the dlc to buy the collectors editions

[tender merlin]

are all servers of ff well populated?

[remote lintel]

yes

[tender merlin]

okay thank you, i was worried this would be tera all over again

[wispy parcel]

preffered servers are lower population but joining them gives you an XP bonus

[faint flare]

Unlike tera the devs care

And put in work

[wispy parcel]

Tera is so unpopulated they fused all servers into one big server

but this isnt the place for that

[robust crow]

ff14 is probably the top mmorpg in the world right now

it's nowhere near dying

[faint flare]

And keep making shit decisions

[robust crow]

I think they said there was 20 million global players as of a few months ago

was in one of the trailers for the patch iirc

[keen fable]

well, i think WoW is still bigger

and GW2 might be as well

but yes, its up there

[wispy parcel]

just so you know, those numbers are accounts made, not active players

no MMO puts out active player numbers anymore after WoW Pandaria

[keen fable]

lul

[dusty quest]

So if im currently on a free trial do i only need to buy a shadowbringers standard edition and i would have all the basic content or?

[faint flare]

You still need the starter edition
