Hello, can u help me please? How to assign those additional 8 keys via controller? How to drag spells to them and how to fast use as those what are on L2/R2?

Okay so I got a question. I'm trying to use a parser and it's like not refreshing. Like nothing pops up on it when I use it no names no nothing. its just blank. It was working a couple days ago but now it stopped. Not using it to parse others just myself
warped nest
(also, tuck your limit break and sprint somewhere else you don't need those on your primary crosshotbar)
(fluid aura can go away too)
WXHB is a shortcut to your other crosshotbar
Open your character configuration > hotbar setting > custom
To see which cross hotbar it shortcut to

@warped nest found it. Thank you!
warped nest
Please take your time and fiddle around with all the settings
(expanded hold control and wxhb are separate, you can choose to use both or just one)
And find something that fits you

if i just finished 5.0, what ring should i pair with my crystarium ring (cuz it's unique)?

Crafted (upgraded crafted) or Eden verse normal

@minor oak additional info, character configuration > hotbar > sharing to adjust which crosshotbar you want to unshared and use them for your job actions
mental garnet
cool thanks vinyl

@warped nest ugh, so much info. Will take a night to figure all out xd
warped nest
My personal recommendation is to do half and half

can you unshare normal hotbars too?
warped nest
Yes
mental garnet
noice
warped nest
Shared hotbar are good for general purpose stuff, like swapping gearset, mount, way mark, emote
sharp meteor
how do i uncap my chocobo level?
warped nest
Unshared hotbar are for job actions primarily, job specific macro, raid food, or mount (if you want to job to have "exclusive" mount), etc

Eh, A few servers on crystal are. However, if your worried the content wont get done, it will. People still play the game and you can find a group for almost everything.

should always do dungeons once to get the hang of it

is AST combust even worth using if its only doing 60 potency?
zinc orbitBOT
Powered by XIVAPI
shrewd owl
its a dot
warped nest
Damage over time is applied every 3 sec
faint flare
Dots do damage every 3sec for its listed potency
warped nest
So it is 6 x 40
faint flare
It ticks 6 times for 40 pot
warped nest
240
zinc orbitBOT
Powered by XIVAPI
faint flare
Wow it took it
warped nest
Apply Combust, let it tick
Then you use malefic
Until you need to use Combust again
marble drift
Theres also a mechanic known as "weaving"
Fitting off-global cooldown abilities between your natural global cooldown
to make use of the space
Casts are an odd bunch and technically you never have a "space" because you need to complete the cast
Instant casts like Combust let you throw out those off-globals
a very large portion of your abilities as an Astro are off-global cooldowns
marble drift
yeah but its rougher than your dot
marble drift
and iirc you won't be able to double-weave
yeah but better to start off slow for the newbies man
rotund sable
since the sleeve draw changes you dont need to worry about double weaving much
just weave once inbetween malefics for starters

Does NG+ only cover 1-30 class quests atm?
smoky wind
Is using numpad for keybindings worth it?
agile laurel
I'm not seeing job quests
faint flare
For now yes
agile laurel
uh lord/lady do still exist but you can't play it for direct damage
only as a person buff
warped nest
Lord and lady is stronger buff, but you can't get seal from it
marble drift
I wouldn't bind numberpad keys unless you're using arrow keys to move @smoky wind so. a leftie
cause generally its WASD to move so your 1-5 are your go-to binds
smoky wind
Yeah i was thinking of just not using the mouse though as much in combat
And having my right on numpad left on wasd
marble drift
no you absolutely need the mouse
smoky wind
I could use legacy camera to run backwards
marble drift
right but if you wanted something for your other hand
why not get an MMO mouse
and bind keys to that?
smoky wind
Oh thats a thing?
marble drift
yep
smoky wind
Im a broke college student lol
marble drift
mice with half a dozen or extra buttons
smoky wind
So id rather not buy anything extra

you're payin a sub ain't cha?

If I wanted to every button would be a different color, DPI is adjustable on the fly

true wyvern
Yep
true wyvern
Fun part is every single button on the side is adjustable left and right depending on how big your hand is and you can set them up for macros

or use a controller

I would love to use a controller except it doesn't have enough buttons

elder sinew
Stats from Wiki: "Gathering- Affects the rate at which items are gathered. " Is that how fast it chops/mine stuff?
open coral
As a controller player, controller has plenty of buttons
elder sinew
Oh ok
weary burrow
maint in an hour right
remote lintel
if anything controller has more buttons easily reachable as opposed to mkb
open coral
Maint is in like, 6 hours @weary burrow
marble drift
right but you can't seriously compare Cerb
cause you're comparing to a keyboard AND mouse
remote lintel
so?
open coral
5 hours 31 minutes to be precise
little swift
2 peripherals to 1
true wyvern
....
marble drift
cause I know you're trying to compare "Right trigger+Triangle" as a button or something
true wyvern
now lets check controller layout
fast granite
This might seem like a dumb question, but when i tried to login, it stated that "This service account does not have a valid FINAL FANTASY XIV license for this platform or your subscription has expired."
the last time i played i was on trial 2 months ago
obsidian patio
@fast granite go to your mogstation and take a picture of this
fast granite
marble drift
if you bought the game, you gotta pay the subscription
fast granite
wait, i think it's the starter edition
open coral
That locks you out of free trial
obsidian patio
Since you have the non-steam version you also can’t launch the game from steam
open coral
Starter Edition is different from Free Trial
true wyvern
didnt want to mess with my UI so here is this
fast granite
oh, i see
open coral
Okay, but what's your point @true wyvern ?
keen fable
does using midgardsormr as a minion provide a benefit? lots of people are using it
remote lintel
no dark
open coral
I play WHM on controller with zero issues.
keen fable
gotcha
marble drift
despite cuteness
Aura the comparison is that Cerb was saying that controller had more buttons than KB+M
which is...just not a thing
obsidian patio
@true wyvern Controller uses 8 sets of bars that have 16 buttons each.
remote lintel
no
open coral
Controller effectively has 16x8 bind slots
unreal aspen
what do you do on healers when your tank wall pulls in a dungeon and cycles cooldowns and so on, but the outgoing dps is so low that you can exhaust your entire kit and the mobs are still alive?
obsidian patio
You cycle through them with R1
remote lintel
controller has more hotbars slots and thus more buttons easily reachable
true wyvern
point is I like the keyboard I dont have to wast time finding stuff
open coral
@unreal aspen Depends on what kind of tank and what kind of healer you are.
rotund sable
literally any control scheme is muscle memory, you learn it
remote lintel
^
true wyvern
I started with controler but fell out of love with it when I started have too much shit to keep track of
rotund sable
if you prefer DK bongos go grab some its not that big a deal
marble drift
right but Cerb you absolutely do not have more available buttons on controller.
remote lintel
and? that wasn't my point
obsidian patio
I can say the same thing for keyboard, my hands can never get the handle of them for MMOs.
marble drift
Wasn't it?
remote lintel
no?
marble drift
I swore it was
open coral
For WHM, I'll Benison + Regen on cd, Assize on cd, Asylum if I really need the extra healing, and Tetra/Solace/Cure 2 as needed + Holy if I can get a cast or three off. @unreal aspen
marble drift
My bad. I'll drop the subject
true wyvern
looked like it was
rotund sable
also yeah sofi your class/level and the tanks class/level matter as well but since you said you used all your kit just your strongest GCD heal is all you have left
remote lintel
my point is that standard mkb hotbars have 12 slots whereas controller has 16 so you have 48 hotbar slots for combat which is absolutely plenty
rotund sable
and for whm holy stuns
marble drift
ohyeah both have plenty of slots for all their stuff
tardy patio
how do I unlock the new dragon custom delivieries? I cant find him, said he's supposed to be here?
marble drift
no question
unreal aspen
yea for some reason i've never had the issue on whm, bc i feel like i consistently have stuff in my kit no matter how long the pull takes but on scholar i feel like i've ended up in the panic adlo spam every once in while
rotund sable
SCH is probably the most punishing healer to run out of your efficient kit with tbh
open coral
SCH always has the hardest time because they've got none of their really strong instant or reactive heals between about level 40 and 60.
tardy patio
i havent seen anywhere that says this questline is required though, seems like it's some sidequest that doesnt unlock anything (no 
)
rotund sable
also yeah are you capped or levelling
faint flare
You need to progress that quest line frost
sharp meteor
i cant preload my AST seals anymore?
unreal aspen
im lvling through shb right now
tardy patio
ah damn. Is there any lore at all behind these or can I just skip them then
marble drift
You need to be in combat to get seals Despair
tardy patio
Ok so skip, I already know its gonna be player housing regardless of how it gets there haha
tyvm
obsidian patio
And wait 30 seconds for draw’s cooldown to be ready again
unreal aspen
I have scholar at 80 on an alt, and never had problems healing dungeons at lvl 80, but i didn't play it before then since i was playing smn, so i'm just confused as to why it feels way more difficult and trying to pinpoint if im doing something wrong sorta
faint flare
Not if the npcs take them all
obsidian patio
That lets you play 2 cards in a row for the start of fights
unreal aspen
*on my main srry im currently lvling scholar on an alt
tardy patio
...cant even skip the scene anyway lol. Its some kind of minigame or something I skipped the dialogue for
marble drift
yeah its not the first time this minigame has come up
faint flare
You're a foreman and you're helping people
marble drift
it was in the stormblood MSQ too
rotund sable
if the dungeon pulls are dying really slowly and you burn through your entire kit in an efficient way im not really sure what you can do
open coral
@unreal aspen SCH learning curve is a lot harsher than either of the other healers simply because of the fact that they're proactive rather than reactive healers at their core. The best way to learn is actually to grab your Trusts and run the dungeons that way.
rotund sable
i dont know if we have a channel you can send a recording in for people to look at?
trusts dont really pull enough to test a healer tbh
remote lintel
if its tied to a question you can send it here
open coral
Thancred ||(or G'raha Tia||) pulls small, so you don't have to worry as much.
tardy patio
always make them double pull in trusts, they can definitely take it
open coral
lol true
rotund sable
then yeah i'd recommend recording a quick clip and sending it here sofi
marble drift
As a player you control the pulls Astra. you can force your Trust tank to double
unreal aspen
o i'll try that if I keep struggling, thank u!
open coral
I'm aware, but I was speaking from a standpoint of answering someone who is struggling with larger pulls.
rotund sable
np, SCH is probably my weakest healer so it might take a bit more to get a decent answer out of me tbh
remote lintel
im too scared to play SCH tbh
unreal aspen
yeah i don't normally struggle with them but I've had a bad patch of dungeons where me and the tank are significantly ahead of the dps in damage on mobs, even with me like internally screaming and spamming adlo
marble drift
yeah then the problem is not yours
open coral
Honestly when I leveled SCH, I did it through dungeon spam and only really had one bad run in the level 73 dungeon where the tank didn't listen when I asked him not to w2w because I didn't know what I was doing.
marble drift
its theirs
rotund sable
yeah if you and the tank are above the dps that might just be a problem you cant control
remote lintel
fey union saves lives
rotund sable
its exhausting anyones kit to heal a wall to wall pull for extended periods of time
marble drift
if they fail to perform their role then theres nothing you can do
tardy patio
sch is mostly hard because it has such bad "oh crap" tools, you gotta already know what youre doing to play sch well
obsidian patio
Scholar is honestly pretty relaxing as a healer once you get the trait that makes Sacred Soil regen
tardy patio
meanwhile whm is just loaded to the brim with tools to reverse bad situations
marble drift
As a tank I prefer a stutter method
obsidian patio
Since that makes it super powerful in general
marble drift
big pull then small then big
warped nest
Sacred soil regen is 👌
marble drift
and so on
rotund sable
true sacred is really strong
open coral
As a healer I always appreciate tanks who ramp up their pulls to test my limits
marble drift
As a tank I can safely say its a two way street
obsidian patio
Fey Union also helps with sustained high damage when you preface it with Whispering and maybe Illumination
remote lintel
the best part is playing chicken with your tank with essential dignity/benediction
remote lintel
:)
unreal aspen
but the heal gets more optimal the less health u have
marble drift
my static leader does it all the fucking time
so I straight up don't tank dungeons with him
open coral
Tanking and healing always has to be something of a partnership. The limits of both together should control the speed of the run.
unreal aspen
it's just Efficient Gameplay : D
open coral
Dps can (and do) die in a fire.
warped nest
I did it as a tank a few times
marble drift
Im tempted to level gunbreaker just so I can use the Fabled "Healer's adjust" macro
warped nest
I dunno what my healers thought about it but it was pretty close to me
Anyway.... This is more discussion
remote lintel
more like dark knight
fast granite
so, another question. Since i own the starter/standard edition, would i have to get the complete edition? or shadowbringers collector edition?
marble drift
No.
open coral
Since you have the Starter edition, you can just buy Shadowbringers and a sub
remote lintel
collectors edition only gives extra cosmetic items
marble drift
it includes Stormblood
unreal aspen
the most recent dlc will give you all previous expacs
unreal aspen
yeah since you wouldn't be able to play the current one without the previous, so they'll always include everything that came out before it
open coral
Make sure it's the standard PC edition (not the Steam version) since your Starter edition was the PC version
unreal aspen
tho as a side note, if you're still early on in the game, it might be worth it to wait to buy shb until you need to
fast granite
yeah i have the non-steam version
unreal aspen
bc i waited a bit while i was going through arr and it ended up going on sale
fast granite
oh, so i should buy a sub first, level up and finish Heavensward, then get shadowbringers?
worthy osprey
Does anyone know how much Gathering you need to reliably catch the rare weather fish in Diadem?
fast granite
arr and heavensward*
open coral
If you want @fast granite . They streamlined ARR in the most recent patch, so it's much quicker getting through them than it was.
unreal aspen
it's up to you! there's no guarantee shb will go on sale, but if you're not at level cap for hw, then you won't miss out on stuff from not having it, so if you want to pray to the sale gods for a lil bit of money saving, it could be worth it
potent lava
Is there such a way to glamour an armor to appear empty?
Wany to have the protection of a helmet without my head being stuffed in one
unreal aspen
yeah, u can buy emperor's new stuff on marketboard
faint flare
Or just use the Hide helmet button
fast granite
i see, interesting. I'll wait a bit and see if it goes on a sale before buying
open coral
There was a sale that just ended this past week, so it's unlikely that there will be another one soon.
timid silo
do i have to purchase subscription every month if i buy the complete edition?
faint flare
Yes
open coral
Yes

Its a subscription based game

you get 30 days free at the start and then you need to sub

Although you can pay for 1, 3, or 6 months at a time.

Any suggestions on how to level up fishing? Like where to get bait and what spots to go to
unreal aspen
bait you can buy from npc merchants in major cities for early level stuff
this has them sorted by level
- with the bait you should use listed
unreal aspen
^ ocean fishing gives a huge amount of exp
faint flare
Per trip
obsidian patio
I recommend sticking to the Versatile Lure for the most part
timid silo
i was playing the free trial but stuck on the quest that req item lv 42 and i only have 41 atm. Market place is not accessible for free trial T^T

It works at all levels and at all fishing holes

as a side note, if you want, you can also level through the diadem

are there any discords for groups learning ShB ex content? using PF for learning ex fights takes a long time and i can't join other ex PF unless i "know the fight"

Do your job quest

Your job quest gives you a coffer with i90 gear

You really only need the specific baits if you want specific fish
unreal aspen
nah, got to get to 15 i think?
elder sinew
I can enter, just not sure
timid silo
i did all of SMM job quests in ARR
elder sinew
What bait is needed for diadem?
obsidian patio
Limsa Lominsa is a saltwater hole so you’ll need saltwater bait
faint flare
Then open the coffer you were given
elder sinew
I tried a couple of the newbie bait, didnt work in there
unreal aspen
its bait an npc merchant sells in the zone
faint flare
You have a coffer with gear in your inventory
elder sinew
Oh!
timid silo
oh your right i forgot about that ty i will check again!

like when you load in to the diadem, there should be a merchant guy right on the island you come in on

HQ+ nodes sometimes make the HQ chance 100% or very high, make use of that too.

Hmm, how does Botanist levequests work? It says to go to the spot and harvest, but there's nothing there.

@weary burrow, for what are you queueing?
elder sinew
Ohh
faint flare
To actually start it
weary burrow
like 4 dungeons, urth found, minestral, amdapor keep and hullbreaker
twilit arch
urth and minstrel are going to take forever because no one queues for those
they're do them unsync
amdapor and hullbreaker are likely also going to take a while, but not as long, since those are atleast in a roulette
weary burrow
why dont people que those
twilit arch
but either way, i wouldn't bother queueing for those dungeon unless you really want to do them
twilit arch
because they're extreme trials, and its easier to just unsync them and kill them in like <1minute at lvl 80
faint flare
And no one ques foe extremes
remote lintel
because minstrel was endgame content and 1. nobody queues for endgame content and 2. they do it unsync
faint flare
And you're not clearing with pugs
remote lintel
they dont use duty finder for it
faint flare
Cause pugs cant do mechanics

@lavish vortex how good are you at adjusting your camera for incoming mechanics

if youre just doing it with pf randoms I'd read into some of the mechanics though yeah, theres a few that can get you killed easily if you dont know them
lavish vortex
@outer plank mmm i think im good, ive cleared some of the current savage content, is it on that level of difficulty?

you need to know how curse keeper works, addphase, the snake push back, and the bongocat titan and you should kill it dead by then

do y'all know if you still get a lot of exp from running castrum/prae when you first unlock them, or is it only when you do MSQ roulette?

ill watch a video to see the mechanics once and then put up a PF, thanks!

the tank has to be GNB or PLD to invuln the Cursekeeper in P1 though

so it has to be someone that knows the fight

Hardest part is actually getting a chance to participate in the FATE since so many people typically end it before I can target something because ps4 targeting stinks.

oh
tender merlin
okay sorry but i dont have a scroll lock button on my laptop
i cant find it on my keybind options too (
spare plinth
so i guess healers would use it for either tank or boss
faint flare
Focus target means you'll always see the HP and cast bar of whatever you focus target
Generally the boss is focus targetted
remote lintel
they use it to keep track of what the boss is casting while targeting someone else
leaden ginkgo
can't you make a macro to only cast on focused target?
leaden ginkgo
then it helps I guess
faint flare
But as usual, macros are generally ill advised
leaden ginkgo
yeah, sometimes they do weird stuff

Thus losing casts
polar hound
watch the drift
that drift pulls you out of buff windows etc, its a surefire way to lower your own dps.
dapper shadow
imagine over 10 minute fight you lose like 20% of GCDs with that
leaden ginkgo
I've used mouse over macros and never experienced a problem other than casting on myself when my target is oor
what happened to skybuilders' reef rocks? ; _ ;
remote lintel
macros are inherently slower
leaden ginkgo
did gathering portion of ishgard end?
polar hound
macros do not queue up.
meaning you have to spam the macro until it is exactly off cooldown for it to trigger, you can't outspeed the queue system hence drift
leaden ginkgo
yeah I spam anyways
polar hound
un-macrod, there is a 'hidden' 1s queue where if you press the ability in that 1s window, it will fire off as soon as readily available
remote lintel
it doesnt matter
polar hound
yeah that means youre not spamming dps
polar hound
ABC, always be casting
leaden ginkgo
I'm not talking about dps
dapper shadow
any gcd abilities

every job is expected to dps to pull their weight

yes its been tested

you
polar hound
macros do not benefit from the queue system
remote lintel
why would i need to test it personally
polar hound
do you have a real question or is this devolving into you not believing us or the theorycrafters before who have tested and proven all of this
leaden ginkgo
so you believe it because it's on the internet?
analog gate
this is going nowhere
remote lintel
i believe it because it's been tested and the devs themselves said they made it inherently worse to discourage botting?
leaden ginkgo
I've tested healing with macros and never experienced such thing
raw solstice
what they are describing is entirely factual
leaden ginkgo
and all my macro does is target mouseover, that's it

Hullo, if i have an existing account... And create a lv 1 alt in a new data centre, would there be a cap on the amount of gil the lv 1 can hold?

not if you bought the game

I wonder what's the dps/healing output difference between somebody that uses macros and somebody that doesn't
remote lintel
worse
leaden ginkgo
the actual % difference
soft jay
Yup i already got the game just wanted to use the lv 1 as a mule to transfer my gil
raw solstice
that's not a thing you can just flatly define
leaden ginkgo
what should i be melding on blm?
raw solstice
it depends on a lot of factors, particularly how much you use macros for and the length of the encounter

@soft jay your characters cant interact with each other, you would need a third person
