So next won't happen for awhile
late igloo
Alright, just made my new toon. Haven't played in forever. Little Lalafell named Hex Appeal, on Gilgamesh! Maybe I'll see some of you around! Going to be maining crafting / gathering.
proven bay
But yeah, you don't need to worry about population @tender merlin I play on off-hours, like 4am-2pm kind of deal and the servers are still pretty active even around those times
tender merlin
what server are you on?
robust crow
Hex, you unlock a very good method for crafting/gathering after finishing heavensward MSQ
remote lintel
^
tender merlin
oh okay thanks, i was just worried that i would end up playing alone aagain 😦
robust crow
may want to consider holding off on doing crafting and gathering until then @late igloo
tender merlin
ill play in japan data tonberry as it seems like everyone is recommending it
late igloo
Yeah, my niece plays this game, and told me that even if I plan on mainly crafting, I need to still focus the MSQ
tender merlin
for asian server mostly english lang
robust crow
for sure
proven bay
Yeah, you're gonna have no server pop issues. Japan has so many players
remote lintel
you can get all your crafters to lvl 20 and gatherers to lvl 15 and do the MSQ
wispy parcel
Tonberry is the biggest ENG speaking JP server
robust crow
the method I'm talking about require level 20 in a crafter anyway
so you could just do level 20 in all crafts and stop there until you beat heavensward
tender merlin
okay thank you, i often over think these things before playing an mmorpg thank you
late igloo
I watched a class video, and think I'm really in love with Machinist, so Archer it is!
proven bay
You definitely won't be playing alone. Plus the community is super welcoming, you'll end up interacting with people randomly in-game
robust crow
ahh, you won't unlock machinist until you enter the level 51 story haha
proven bay
It's quite fun
late igloo
Something about a little Lalafell summoning a giant mech............
remote lintel
lvl 50
robust crow
archer/bars is kinda similar though
late igloo
that's fine, I'll play Archer until then
robust crow
you have to be in ishgard, which is level 51, no?
late igloo
Or should I make something else for solo play / future raiding?
robust crow
all classes are good for raiding
remote lintel
all classes can do all content
late igloo
The spear dude looked pretty cool
remote lintel
just pick what you like
late igloo
Dragoon I think
proven bay
Dragoon is fun
wispy parcel
All jobs are on par with each other
late igloo
Nah, Machinist is me, through and through. Maybe one of the healers.
robust crow
pick up a second or even 3rd class anyway
you'll outlevel your MSQ if you only do 1 class
remote lintel
i mean you can be all classes if you want 
wispy parcel
it IS a good idea to know how to play all 3 roles
proven bay
Yeah, I was able to level two classes at once while doing MSQ
robust crow
may also want to consider starting a character on Sargatanas since it's the current preferred server
and benefit from having the 2x EXP bonus for 3 months
and server transfer later
remote lintel
thats expensive
proven bay
You can only transfer from congested servers though can't you?
And afaik no server is right now
remote lintel
no
proven bay
Well, outside of paying for it obviously
robust crow
you can transfer from any server iirc
and yeah it'll cost under $20 to do that, but the way I see it $20 for 3 months of 2x exp is worth it
late igloo
I made a character on Sarg last night, and this one on Gilg. The Sarg one does have an exp bonus. But I was told Gilga will have a better economy, since I plan on crafting main.
I mean, $20 for 3 months of 2x exp, especially when I'm a solo player anyways, seems like the smart play
remote lintel
in my opinion the 2x exp bonus isn't so important that i would pay for it
you can do just fine without it
proven bay
^
remote lintel
but ultimately it's up to you
late igloo
Well I have no friends or FC, and am self employed with a super goofy schedule. I love crafting in any game, but it seems super fun in this game. Reminds me of EQ2 crafting. So which ever server has a better economy / player base, is where I'll want to be, I'd imagine
robust crow
yeah you'd transfer after the exp buff is over
remote lintel
then go with gilga
late igloo
Yeah, play on Sarg for 3 months, using the b oost to boost a bunch of classes / jobs
faint flare
The economies are mostly close
robust crow
you can buy things from other servers also
late igloo
Y'all so smart and helpful! Thanks a ton!
robust crow
you just can't sell things on other servers
remote lintel
👍
robust crow
so you can buy cheap from gilga and resell on sarg (assuming your home is sarg)
late igloo
So what would be a good job to level up alongside Archer, as I progress through the MSQ?
Or class I guess
robust crow
anything you like
robust crow
I like arcanist because it levels two roles at the same time
you get a healer and a magic dps simultaneously
late igloo
Oh, that sounds nice
robust crow
or play a tank
remote lintel
be a big beefy boy
robust crow
or dragoon/lancer since you said that looked cool
remote lintel
er...lalafell
remote lintel
you can bite their ankles it's alright
agile laurel
Can someone confirm that neo-ishgardian exchange for Novelty tokens is a flat 1 to 1 trade?
late igloo
I played when this game first came out, did the first Primal, played a BLM and a Scholar. Only played for like a few months, then quit. This game sure does look pretty still, for it's age
twilit arch
HQ is 1:1
remote lintel
primal best data center
agile laurel
like... at the start of the patch I somehow managed to trade in some gear and not be able to buy augmented gear to replace it
and I'm not sure how
but now I'm just confused
twilit arch
NQ trade is significantly lower
agile laurel
i don't have any of that, so
twilit arch
NQ weapon trade is 14 tokens, HQ trade is 42 and you need 42 tokens for weapon
agile laurel
weird.
robust crow
yeah, if your gear is HQ neo-ishgard then all you need is additional phantasmagoria
it'll cost either 300 or 500 phantas depending on the piece
full storm
is there any ressource to easily find treasure map location ? i have one at sea of clouds can't figure out where it is

twilit arch
which type of map
robust crow
shows you all map locations
full storm
oh thx
robust crow
kael might have more suggestions too
twilit arch
it does not, it only shows the8 man maps
so if they're doing solo maps, then its not going to be of use
full storm
it is a party map, i still want to check how hard it is
robust crow
ah, didn't know that, learn something new every day
twilit arch
then yeah heavenswhere is fine to use
agile laurel
Do beast tribe reps rank up immediately on breaking the bar? or does it cap until you do the blue quest from rankup?

proven sparrow
leveling 50-60 non msq should i just queue up the highest level dungeons available to me?
agile laurel
i'm losing out here whatever I do right?
twilit arch
yes if you turn in the 3rd daily you'll lose rep
agile laurel
i mean if I turn in the 2nd I lose rep but
twilit arch
so turn in 2, save the 3rd
agile laurel
yeah
robust crow
shepps there's a few ways for 50-60 nonmsq
you can do potd for that too
spamming your highest level dungeon is one way
proven sparrow
i have yet to see potd
twilit arch
if you're dungeon queues are 15+minutes then should do palace of the dead
you can unlock it in gridania
proven sparrow
i'm leveling healer it's near instant queue
twilit arch
"The house the death built"
robust crow
yeah but you'd need to get through 1-50 floors first
twilit arch
also don't forget to do daily roulettes
robust crow
oh in that case spamming dungeons is faster
proven sparrow
oh i think i did that quest. haven't tried it yet though
leaden ginkgo
can you buy buff foods or are they crafted?
twilit arch
you can buy food from vendors in the major cities
robust crow
if you just want the food exp buff, you can buy a bunch of raisins from food vendors at like 5 gil per
that'll give you easy exp buff
leaden ginkgo
cool thx
robust crow
you don't need to hunt stat buff food unless you're 80 and raiding
and that food is crafted

regarding palace of the dead, can i queue up with lv 60ish character as lv 50?
the level has the be around the same right?

halcyon grail
Ok, round two on naming my alt. Male hyur, wanted a name that sounds like it could actually be a FF protag name.
Final four are: Rove Blackwood, Zane Equinox, Eclipse Reyes and Setro Bright.
robust crow
have you considered the canon hyur naming conventions?
halcyon grail
Eh. Its a reference to a phenomenon in nature, like Cloud or Squall.
solid estuary
If I'm not in past ARR can I not get all the yokai weapons?
halcyon grail
I did
robust crow
there is a "proper" racial name for each class
remote lintel
@solid estuary no
halcyon grail
Didn't like em
faint flare
Nope, you need heavensward and stormblood access
remote lintel
cloud and squall don't follow canon ff14 naming conventions though
since theyre not from ff14
robust crow
I don't think he's going for canon names though
halcyon grail
Yeah, but Hyur specific naming conventions are varied enough by intention.
What ren said
robust crow
well, if you just want an FF protag flavor, we have names ranging from butts to lightning
so the bar is low
halcyon grail
I thought it was Bartz
robust crow
(butts is a joke based on the JP pronunciation)
remote lintel
isnt bartz a type of crystal
robust crow
quartz is
halcyon grail
You might be thinking of Quartz
robust crow
idk about "bartz"
speaking of, there's somewhat of a pattern in naming FF protag after weather conditions
so if you really wanted an "FF protag" flavor, consider some strange name for weather
cloud, squall, tidus (tide?), terra, lightning, noctis all kinda follow a weather pattern
burnt flicker
or use names that scientists gave to hurricanes

altocumulus
halcyon grail
I thought of Gale earlier, but apparently thats taken

huh, so in those openers with doton before hide, what's the point of doton before hide? assuming I don't run up and drop it at the boss's feet, or in front of it
warped nest
Hide can reset your Ninjutsu
But by normal circumstances, you cannot do it mid combat
You can however, barely squeeze in a hide after a doton during your opener
Before you "enter" combat

doton also does something but i forget what

warped nest
Neither of them you can get early
late igloo
A bummer
warped nest
Don't worry about gear management
I would recommend Lancer/Dragoon
Dragoon doesn't share gear (later on)
Which means you don't need to save their gear for other jobs
cold folio
anyone able to help? my friend is trying to sign up for the first time to the game for the free trial but it keeps giving her errors like i2501 and says she cant access it or smth,,
idk if right chat yet again to put this in

Lance share gear though
late igloo
Yeah, they looked pretty cool.
karmic niche
With tanks and disple of war
scarlet arrow
from 1-50 you use generic "disciple of war" gear
karmic niche
1-50 right?
remote lintel
@cold folio did she make an account on mogstation
warped nest
So there is no need to stock up and save maiming gear in your inventory
scarlet arrow
although some early lancer/dragoon armor is also tank gear
cold folio
shes just trying to do it on the square enix free trial account site bit, not mogstation
remote lintel
and its giving her an error on the website?
karmic niche
Which is weird but it look cooler thsn disple of war
scarlet arrow
in 2.0 I think squenix was experimenting with having Dragoon have some limited off-tanking capability
warped nest
@late igloo on top of Dragoon, I would recommend rogue/Ninja too
cold folio
it says 'You cannot use this function, contact Square Enix Error code i2501" and its just on the square enix site yeah
scarlet arrow
but that didn't last long
warped nest
Ninja at higher level, has their own series, Scouting, so no need to save gear for other jobs
warped nest
But ninja do share dexterity accessories with archer/bard
remote lintel
maybe
cold folio
Why would it be a browser issue though? I had no troubles signing up on mine
cold folio
no, just free trial, shes never played before
remote lintel
is she trying to create an account in a different region than she is?
cold folio
nope, same region
twilit arch
i2501 is a stupid broad error that could be a bunch of things
main suggestions to fix it is: try a different browser, turn off any vpn/adblocker you might have, use mobile data
if none of that works, contact SE support
cold folio
so she said she enters all he info in fine, then after it asks her for a key from her email, she enters that and it doesnt work and then says she has to wait 24hrs before trying again

its hard to assume if its my remote when it acts perfectly normally with steam integration on

@sharp meteor re:macros, do not bind your important rotation buttons to macros
you should avoid binding most skills to macros
limber walrus
I am using 480 paladin and my girlfriend uses 480 summoner. Idk about the rest of the fc but they are likely below 350 tho

macros have a downfall where they can't queue up your next skill, so it will fuck up your timing

Is there any decent way to improve the Anti-Aliasing? With some GShade settings maybe? Tried to fiddle a bit with the dedicated Radeon Windows driver software, but all the Anti-Aliasing settings are for DirectX9 only (lol?). FFXI might have low textures, but for the same reason its damn smooth...What's up with FFXIV being so pixely even on max settings?

it doesn't look pixely to me

Well I may be exaggerating, apparently it's not GameBoy pixels right? 😉 It's not bad, it's just not really smooth either.

can i set my hud to switch when i change jobs or do i only have access to the 1-4 hud sets
twilit arch
can only have 4 different hud layouts, but you can make a macro to switch to a specific hud layout when you switch gearsets
/hudlayout #```cool thank you
not the answer i really wanted but i guess i can manage with a dps/tank/heal hud each
verbal forge
are craftable mounts sellable?
obsidian patio
Yes.
pearl kestrel
So a few friends are trying to play together, I got one on Zalera with me but the third (hours later) said the world was preventing new players. Went to make a new char 5 mins ago on another server and when I refreshed the list Malboro was no longer available. Does this change on like a few minutes basis or what
obsidian patio
Here are all the tradeable mounts. @verbal forge
From Zu to Incitatus
@pearl kestrel yes the list updates very often
sharp meteor
if im leveling a tank, do I just spam duty roulettes? queue is instant
verbal forge
thats pretty cool especially i want the magicked bed
obsidian patio
Only do the actual roulettes once per day. After that spam the highest level dungeon that’s not level 50/60/70
crimson wind
can anyone give me an example of a working raise macro
obsidian patio
Roulettes are only worth doing exp-wise due to the daily bonus
sharp meteor
the adventurer in need bonus doesnt make up for it?
remote lintel
/ac ascend <t>
/p get up
/micon ascend
obsidian patio
it doesn’t.
crimson wind
What about wait Cerberus
faint flare
The wait is to stop chat spam
crimson wind
^
faint flare
When you spam the macro
pearl kestrel
@obsidian patio Ohh okay thank you
faint flare
Add <wait.1> with the raise line
crimson wind
My macro is
/ac Verraise
/p I'm ver-bottom dps because the healers won't raise your ver-butt
wait.1
/micon Verraise
The wait.1 always goes into fc chat
robust crow
kael thanks for that hud switch macro
faint flare
/Ac Verraise <wait.1>
remote lintel
you didn't put it in brackets
robust crow
didn't know that was possible
remote lintel
like that
crimson wind
ohhhhhhh
remote lintel
i never used wait in my macro
robust crow
one thing about the wait.1
if you're like me and you change targets SUPER fast
it might put the wrong target in chat if you put things in the wrong order
faint flare
Thats why you dont use the target in the message
robust crow
what do you mean? isn't the whole point of a raise macro to let your healers know who you raised
faint flare
If theyre paying any amount of attention they'll see the raise buff
robust crow
so they don't raise the same target
faint flare
Just let them know you are raising
Then they wont go about raising cause you're doing it
Unless they're not paying attention
Then even macros wont help
halcyon glen
If you're not a Red Mage, it's useful to know who you're rezzing
since sometimes you cast a rez without Swift
so the target isn't made known to the party until the full cast has gone off
robust crow
yeah and fuck if I'm going to try to type that out in the middle of a pug group
faint flare
Not like you have anything else to do while hardcasting raise
remote lintel
i was gonna say that
robust crow
sometimes you gotta cancel it
and sometimes the other healer is as fast on swift cast as you are
remote lintel
bet
delicate ivy
Is there anything to do with copies of triple triad cards?
robust crow
doesn't hurt to have a sound effect with it too

Hi all, 👋 not sure if this is the place to ask. Just downloading the game. Im North America, but a new player. Which server should I join? (if im not able to put hours and hours into this every week, but able to put under/around 5-10 hours or so)
faint flare
Any preferred server on NA data centre
Otherwise doesn't matter
Everything is cross server within the data centre
remote lintel
not balmung if you dont want to be tormented
faint flare
Only data centre choice matters
ancient galleon
Ah, I was asking with regards to the players, as in whaich is mostly players who have played for a long time vs which is more new player friendly
robust crow
bran, you may need to wait until early morning to create characters on preferred servers
smoky glade
is getting 3 lines for wondrous trails purely a chance thing or is there like a trick to keep getting it
robust crow
yep
faint flare
Its RNG
remote lintel
@smoky glade rng
robust crow
lanor, you can save your second chances to set up a possible 3 line
but yeah what vinyl said
dapper ravine
Hi, new to the server, can someone put me and a friend in the same party? we cant invite
burnt flicker
free trial users?
dapper ravine
yes
smoky glade
Ohh okay ty ty. Looks like I can't use the 2nd chance points now that I'm at 9, maybe after reset lol
robust crow
dump them at 7
faint flare
You can only shuffle at 7 or lower
smoky glade
Yeah I noticed after I got them lol I just knocked out the easy ARR extremes consecutively that I didn't check in between doing them
ancient galleon
Ah I see. Thanks for the info about the servers!
Btw, I like to be a ranged dps player in general...whats a good job for a starter? archer(bard) or the machinist?
remote lintel
can't start as machinist
robust crow
you can't pick machinist at the start
remote lintel
so archer
smoky glade
you can only start as archer
ancient galleon
ah lol ok
burnt flicker
archer -> bard is good
remote lintel
or a caster
faint flare
Machinist requires access to heavensward via story
robust crow
if your goal is to be ranged, then your choices are arcanist, Archer, and thaumaturge
ancient galleon
whats the path to machinist? is it also archer path?
faint flare
Get to heavensward
faint flare
Via stoey
robust crow
at the beginning
ancient galleon
ahh
leaden ginkgo
Can i buy ShadowBringers from the migration and work on the steam version?
faint flare
No
remote lintel
not from the SE store no
faint flare
You're locked to wherever you brought the game from
remote lintel
thats steam for u
ancient galleon
I like crafting jobs, and I see there are 8 of them in general? which ones are good for new players? I know it's subjective! just curious to see if there are some which are super grindy and not worth it?
robust crow
to be an effective crafter you need all of them
faint flare
You level all of them
ancient galleon
just to clarify . I don't want one which is super grindy.lol
remote lintel
they all level the same
faint flare
They're all the same
ancient galleon
ahh kk
robust crow
also, after you beat heavensward you unlock a super fast leveling method
faint flare
Just make different stuff
remote lintel
also when you beat heavensward you unlock a place that power levels crafters/gatherers
so
dapper ravine
my friend and i are free trial users so we cant invite each other to a party, can someone help please? ty
robust crow
so if you craft at all before then, stop at level 20
robust crow
level 20 is the requirement to do that method I mentioned
dapper ravine
i cant talk in game cause i am a free trial user
remote lintel
you can use /say
faint flare
You can use Say
dapper ravine
rly? ok ty
faint flare
Get a invite to Novice network as.well
dapper ravine
how do i do that
robust crow
you can keep going past level 20 ofc but it won't be as efficient as the method I'm referring to
faint flare
You can use that and novice network is global
ancient galleon
got it. Some people say that i should finish the main quest first before doing the crafting professions...seems to be the consensus here too.
zinc orbitBOT
robust crow
main quest is EVERYTHING in ff14
faint flare
Crafting and gathering is basically a different game
remote lintel
@ancient galleon heavensward is just the first expansion but yes it would be easier to start crafting when you have more money
aka at lvl cap
burnt flicker
gathering, the easy part, crafting, the headache part
honest anvil
I havent started any crafting thing yet but i might one day. But atm the crafting materials i randomly get from mobs takes up too much inventory space. What are safe to sell? Dont want to throwaway whatever good stuff i might accidentally have
ancient galleon
I see, so get to one of the main landmark levels in the mainquest before doing crafting. thanks for the help team! im going to start the game 🙂
robust crow
you're welcome
robust crow
also, your character level isn't very important
people usually ask for your main story level
that's the best indication of progress, is how far into the story you are
you'll quickly outlevel your MSQ if you only play one class
ancient galleon
Ahh good to know
robust crow
so starting eyeing two or three other classes you want to try
ancient galleon
Havn't played mmo's for a long time except eve online, which is the only one I play nowadays.lol
lament raven
weird question but is the game on sale for anyone else? was gonna buy it today for the sale but it seems to be full price rn
remote lintel
the sale ended
brave ravine
tried out like 5 jobs/classes so far.. and they all follow the same principles of chaining skill1 -> skill2 -> skill3. Is there any job/class that plays more like wow classes where chaining is not necessary?
lament raven
"Tuesday, July 28 at 1:00 a.m. to Thursday, August 27 at 12:00 a.m. (PDT)"? 🤔
keen fable
innoro, that's just their base combo
burnt flicker
and BLM I think?
remote lintel
@lament raven that's for the collectors edition sale
keen fable
that doesn't include everything else
remote lintel
black mage still has an order of skills that youre supposed to do
warped nest
You mean a rotation?
remote lintel
sure
keen fable
besides, WoW skills are used in rotations, which may not have 1, 2,3 combos, but you use them in the same order everytime, you just don't have to
faint flare
Casters and ranged dps are more priority based but every has some form of rotation
warped nest
Healers don't have combo
keen fable
here, it's the same thing. you don't have to, but you'll do more damage if you do
warped nest
But you probably aren't looking for that
halcyon glen
healers have combos. we have Glare -> Glare -> Glare -> you get the point 😛
warped nest
This is how jobs works in XIV
Maybe in 6.0 they will introduce a job that is even more free flowing than Dancer
halcyon glen
But yeah, Dancer of the DPS is the most free-flowing
warped nest
But if you want things to be more like Wow, you will be disappointed
halcyon glen
Their combo is 1-2 rather than 1-2-3, and nothing interrupts it
keen fable
it's present in wow too, the game just doesn't make a point of it, as i mentioned earlier
open coral
Healer combos are like... Plenary Indulgence > Medica II > Afflatus Rapture
We have them, they're just involved with our CDs
warped nest
Monk has a Stance based combo
So if you are in opo opo form, two skill will be more powerful
halcyon glen
so you can freely push all the other glowing buttons until you decide to finish up your Dancer combo
warped nest
But it is still a form of combo nevertheless
@halcyon glen it is a buff based combo
Which is quite interesting
Anyhow, this is more discussion
remote lintel
flourish go brrr
warped nest
Than it is question help
So, short answer: aside from tank, Samurai, Dragoon, Machinist, Ninja, every one else has different form/level of "free flowing" combo
Some are priority based
Some goes on buff/stances (Monk, Red Mage...)
Some just don't have true combo (like healers, or Summoner...?)
warped nest
Sorry, my bad
open coral
I will add on the side that if you're just pushing whatever buttons you want in WoW, you're doing something wrong. Just because there aren't obvious combo-based rotations there doesn't mean they don't exist. WoW just expects you to memorize spell interactions rather than telling you which ones interact.
keen fable
^, basically a better way to say what i was attempting to say lol
warped nest
Well put
remote lintel
never played WoW but sounds good
warped nest
Good question though
keen fable
Is there a reason they made the crystal tower & hard primals required?
other than lets just do it
remote lintel
crystal tower has continuity in shb
warped nest
Crystal Tower ties into the Shadowbringers story
open coral
CT because it ties into Shb
keen fable
i see
warped nest
I cannot give in more details

wb hard primals
open coral
Hard primals... not really clear.

kinda glad they did, i would've missed out some nice story

because you have to do that instance later on in the story, aura
open coral
Which one?
twilit arch
titan hard
remote lintel
oh right
open coral
Yeah, but the question was why we had to do that.
Oh! No
Nevermind
I remember why
faint flare
You need to do titan hard later for story
twilit arch
post HW
faint flare
So they made it a requirement earlier
open coral
Right

So you have it unlocked

gotcha. i just hit 2.5

How much slower is fate grinding compared to Dungeons at 70+?

MUCH
faint flare
No

ah
faint flare
Well they do

okay nevermind then, thank you
open coral
I'd say it's probably around 5x slower @regal heath , and that's a generous estimate.
faint flare
But not required
keen fable
i c
twilit arch
shb fates aren't that much slower, got pretty much all of 70-80 done in a few days
open coral
You don't get a ton of xp per FATE, so it's not really a good way to level.
faint flare
Just pay close attention next time when story asks you to do it
keen fable
alrighty
twilit arch
plus bonus fates + forlons/forlon maidens means that the exp is actually decent
regal heath
Forlorns?
warped nest
I have no idea how those works
open coral
A bonus mob that appears sometimes
warped nest
It is a special add
open coral
Gives an xp bonus for your next FATE
faint flare
Spawns randomly
twilit arch
stormblood and shadowbringers fates have a chance of spawning mobs called "The Forlorn" or "Forlorn Maidens"
warped nest
Looks like a sea slug with wings
twilit arch
When you kill them they give you the "twist of fate" buff which increase xp gained from the next fate you complete
regal heath
Ah okay
keen fable
ok, note to self, you can displacement off of platforms??
twilit arch
The Forlorn gives a 250% buff, Forlorn Maidens give 50%

The game does in general
remote lintel
always nodding
dapper oyster
im doing shb now and kinda confused with intent of this one npc but still its fun

thanks @regal heath @remote lintel
clever willow
is the augmented ironworks gear worth spending poetics on or does it get replaced too quickly to be worth it?
faint flare
Yes its worth it
wintry chasm
Absolutely worth
regal heath
That and yes the game is cross platform, but it has a very healthy PS4 only playerbase
jovial pendant
is there any side-quest or something where i can get a mount for lv25?
wintry chasm
It gets replaced around level 55
faint flare
It lasts a long time as you won't get access to lv gear for awhile
dapper oyster
let me guess... if the person could rotate in one place there is high chance that the player uses controller so it might be on ps4?
remote lintel
just don't delay msq trying to get a full set of ironworks
burnt flicker
loading time tells you who is PC/PS4 😉
regal heath
@clever willow They throw an absurd amount of Poetics at you, 100% buy while leveling
faint flare
Or bad pc
remote lintel
@dapper oyster you can rotate in place on pc
wraith heart
soon pc or ps5 lol
clever willow
just do the msq roulette daily and pick up what you can?
warped nest
@dapper oyster nope
remote lintel
also you can play on controller on pc
faint flare
Do lv50 content
dapper oyster
noooooooooo why cant i rotate :'(
keen fable
@dapper oyster people on pc use controllers. it's extremely popular, because its convenient and the game has extremely good controller support
regal heath
@clever willow Yup and doing things for the first time also gives a bonus
I use a controller when I'm just wanting to sit back and relax, KBM for any group content though
remote lintel
i use controller for everything because lazy
dapper oyster
no wonder, i always confused how this people press like 30 skills simultaneously while i need to ctrl + and even clicking sometimes
faint flare
@jovial pendant you get your chocobo after joining your grand company at lv20 in the story, then you.do the quest "My little chocobo" for it

Weapon first
wraith heart
how far along get i get in the game without subscription?

and yeah i need help with the hotkey
i only use like 1 - 5 with ctrl 1 - 5
i activate long buffs with click and sometimes i forgot to use the long cd debuff like addle

@dapper oyster Try rebinding keys like Q, E, R, T, F ect
wraith heart

@spiral idol What sort of help?
spiral idol
like ideas for hotkey buttons
keen fable
put hotkeys close to wasd so that you can access it without too much effort
burnt flicker
lol MSQ is basically single player mode for the most part
keen fable
if you go through regular, shift, and control of 1,2,3,4,q,e,r,f,t,z, and x, and you STILL need room, well, i think you should relook at your abilities
spiral idol
I wanna put things on f1 to f2
regal heath
The way I do it is basically, rebind A and D to strafe instead of turn. Then you could use every key around WASD for hotkeys and also Shift+ for those aswell
clever willow
i was considering binding stuff to f1 f2 f3 f4 cause i don't really like presshing shift/ctrl + stuff
spiral idol
but I need them to target allies for heal
regal heath
That gives you a tonne of hotkeys
dapper oyster
uh yeah i will try... sometimes i just feel that my finger going to break with pressing asd along with ctrl +

things you don't have to press often

Does the game allow you to bind stuff to like, caps lock + q for example? lol

You can bind basically whatever you want to bind
burnt flicker
buy a wired controller for PC
open coral
Keybinds are a lot of personal preference for mapping.
burnt flicker
controller keybinds is much easier to deal with
clever willow
might just use caps lock then
regal heath
I'd disagree with that, keyboard I find is a lot easier to bind
clever willow
only comes with the side effect that you sometimes type in all caps lol
spiral idol
I wish I could use the f keys but targetting allies is more aids without them
regal heath
You dont have to worry about using the flip for the hotkey sets
open coral
You can use whatever you want
regal heath
You can rebind anything

You might have to rebind some of the defaults, but it's all about what you want to use keys for.
