gritty oracle

I know normal buffs/debuffs don't

spring oasis
#

is edencall armor better than neo

marble drift
#

I am also curious as to that

remote lintel
#

edencall is the same

spring oasis
#

why am I doing eden raids again then

remote lintel
#

for the crystarium weapon

spring oasis
#

i forgot my whole reason to doing eden

#

ah maybe

twilit arch
#

fairly certain weakness/brink doesn't affect it

remote lintel
#

crystarium weap can be augmented to i500

#

if you do savage

fresh compass
#

How chat restricted am I in-game as a free trial player? I know I can't tell people.

remote lintel
#

nothing except /say

#

and party chat obv

little swift
#

I assume alliance chat is available now too

fresh compass
#

Is there a custom emote thing like /e or /me or something similar? I probably can't do that.

little swift
#

/em

#

I don't see why that would be locked

fresh compass
#

Seems to have less restrictions than SWTOR's free to play stuff, at least.

remote lintel
#

it has a decent amount of social restrictions

#

because they dont want bots

vocal shell
#

Take a look at the restrictions here

#

what are the best ways to earn grand company seals other than the duty roulette?

fresh compass
#

I was kinda excited to get into roleplaying in a new game again. Maybe I just won't be too quiet or too loud mooglethink

leaden ginkgo
#

like a decent amount of seals not like 8

remote lintel
#

beware of balmung

twilit arch
#

there's nothing wrong with balmung

fresh compass
#

I'm on Mateus. That seemed to be where most of the people I know who play the game are.

twilit arch
#

stop repeating meme nonsense

warped nest
#

@leaden ginkgo once you reach 2nd sergeant, you can trade dungeon/raid gear in for GC seal

fresh compass
#

Thought of putting that in my nickname, but my character's name is already pretty long as it is namazuconcern

leaden ginkgo
#

aww i'm one more promotion away aaa. ty!

plain python
#

for beast tribe reputation, you start as neutral?

gritty oracle
#

Arr, yes. SB and ShB you start at friendly iirc

tidal yarrow
#

they go on North as they knew he was going there

green grail
#

tether = clone will spawn there

plain python
#

can I access to beast tribe vendors without MSQ?

tidal yarrow
#

there is tether behind in the ss and boss go opposite tho :o

green grail
#

yeah

#

cause the clone spawns on the tether

gritty oracle
#

I think you need to complete certain points in the MSQ to be able to start beast tribes in the first place

green grail
#

so the boss goes to the empty side

tidal yarrow
#

ahh gotcha

#

i did e5s probably over 100 times and i never noticed the clone btw

green grail
#

the clone does the dash while the boss does the duty action whatever thing, iirc

dapper oyster
#

yay just finished the last trial on shadowbringer

tidal yarrow
#

ahh oke

#

i dont think gyoten Is optimal dps at this point

cedar compass
#

What's the best job to farm fates for yokai

remote lintel
#

blue mage

vernal bramble
green grail
#

new game+

simple shore
#

In the case of that particular one, the only way is NG+

vernal bramble
#

oh damn, thanks!

frozen karma
#

how exactly does the refer a friend work? If my friend gives me a code, do we both get the tandem chocobo?

remote lintel
#

no

#

the recruiter gets the choco

wet cradle
#

what beast tribe quests should I do as a lvl 56?

#

is it even a good source of xp?

verbal token
#

where can i get the seeing horde axe recipe

#

im lvl 69 blacksmith i dont see it in my crafting

warped nest
#

@wet cradle it is decent exp to get while you are waiting for your dungeon queue

gritty oracle
#

I think it's a masterbook

wet cradle
#

thanks

verbal token
#

how do i obtain this masterbook

warped nest
#

Look for scrip vendor

verbal token
#

okie

warped nest
#

They should sell different master recipes for yellow scrip

#

I am not sure if there is a way to check in game

#

But on Garlandtools (website) you can search an item, check its recipe to figure out which book unlocks it

verbal token
#

ty its master blacksmith iv

#

and ty for telling me bout that site thats very helpful bookmarked

quaint forge
#

Hrm...does RP, look to meld, and look for PF status affects you anything?

#

I know it’s just for search

#

So far I know “busy”
Prevents others DM

twilit arch
#

No, it doesn't have any affect like busy

quaint forge
#

Ah I see. So it’s just for letting everyone know of their activities

twilit arch
#

yep

vivid bobcat
#

Hello everyone. Started playing recently, currently lvl 57 dragoon at 2.55 patch msq. Got myself the Epic weapon gael bog. Should i bother to upgrade it, or will i get better one over the course of next expansions ?

twilit arch
#

not worth the time/effort to upgrade it. easier to buy ironworks weapon with poetics in mor dhona or from rowena representatives in the three starting cities

#

or use what you get from the msq

grizzled mural
#

Can I get the link for the quest between stormblood and shadowbringers

glad comet
#

@vivid bobcat If anything, the reason why you would get the relic weapon is for glamour

mossy tartan
#

Okay, I bought a mogstation item from my steam wallet via my PS4’s browser(since my account is steam-based originally on PC). Been 2 hours and the item didn’t get delivered, mail has enough space. Is it normal?

twilit arch
#

mail can take a bit, especially if its an account bound item

finite walrus
#

aye

twilit arch
#

if you haven't received the item after 24hrs contact support

mossy tartan
#

Okay, thank you

hazy gorge
#

Oh

#

Is Patron Deity important?

#

Suddenly have to pick it but idk anything about it..

finite walrus
#

no

leaden ginkgo
#

Hey 😄 I have been wondering, is it true that first name change on mogstation is free? I have Heard so but cant find any info about it on the internet 😄

finite walrus
#

just for fun

hazy gorge
#

Ah, nothing special or bonusses given by it?

finite walrus
#

nop

hazy gorge
#

Nice thanks

slate crow
#

Are Ixal quests similar to the others in ARR, but crafting instead of murder? Or are there more differences?

finite walrus
#

@leaden ginkgo dont think so

twilit arch
#

there are crafting (and later on gathering) beast tribes in every level range

leaden ginkgo
#

Ah, thats pity, I like changing names from time to time 😦

twilit arch
#

crafting tribes: 50-60 moogles, 60-70 namazu, 70-80 dwarves
gathering tribes: 60-70 namazu, 70-80 qitari

hazy gorge
#

What are the best DPS classes?thinking about melee DPS or mage.. bu cant choose which one either xD

warped nest
#

Best is very subjective

#

(I said that correctly, right?)

hazy gorge
#

Yea you did haha

#

And I kinda know, but also wondering stat/actual dmg output wise.

warped nest
#

For DPS with more party buff, their personal damage is tone down just a tad

#

To keep everyone sorta on the same playing field

slate crow
#

there are crafting (and later on gathering) beast tribes in every level range
@twilit arch but otherwise, same structure? One quest giver, rank up, two quest givers, rank up, three quest givers, finish

warped nest
#

So jobs with the least party buff/utility would have the strongest damage

hazy gorge
#

Which are those?>

dapper oyster
#

ok now what after shadowbringer cleared?

warped nest
#

Samurai and Black Mage

dapper oyster
#

i noticed that there is added roulette but i couldnt access it because low ilevel and other requirement

hazy gorge
#

Alrighty thanks, cant decide between these 2 now xD

warped nest
#

A few jobs are up there too

gentle juniper
#

if u use the aprty finder thing in a dead world, will it look in others eventually or do u just gotta wait?

#

tehee xd uwu xpxpxpxpxpxpxp

warped nest
#

I do want to remind you that picking what you are interested in is way more important

twilit arch
#

yeah the basically function the same @slate crow

warped nest
#

If the idea of using a Spear

#

Or just using Ninjutsu appeals to you

hazy gorge
#

I like Magic a lot.. Sword combat with DPS and spear looks interesting too.. XD

warped nest
#

Just pick those jobs

slate crow
#

I was curious because have the regular guy that gives three quests worth 10 reputation, but there’s someone near him with one quest for 70 reputation

twilit arch
#

that said though, for expansion tribes you don't have multiple npcs

#

expansion tribes offer 3 dailes per day

#

with an extra 3 when you rank up

#

for ARR tribes, do the highest rep quests you can

warped nest
#

To be specific, you get 3 bonus on the day you rank up and finish a beast tribe story quest

slate crow
#

It puzzled me that there was an extra quest giver at the start.

twilit arch
#

ARR was very....experimental of sorts?

#

so its a bit weird, but hw+ they standarized a lot of thing

#

so unlike expansion tribes, ARR tribes actually let you pick up 9 after a certain point

warped nest
#

This is applicable to a lot of ARR stuff

#

Not just beast tribe

slate crow
#

ARR, mateys

warped nest
#

...

#

Lol

slate crow
#

Does RDM ever get to the point where you can do stuff by yourself? It always seems you need someone with you because it’s so dang slow

gritty oracle
#

RDM is probably the most self sufficient class

polar hound
#

RDM is probably the best solo class

gritty oracle
#

I always do solo instances on RDM when possible

solar surge
#

Is there a way to play the game where I move w/ clicking the mouse, like in other MMOs or MOBAs? Or is that not an option

ionic hazel
#

anyone else having problem with mogstation

gritty oracle
#

You're probably badly geared Viper

ionic hazel
#

its almost 3 hours

polar hound
#

that or you're hardcasting abilities you shouldn't be

gritty oracle
#

@solar surge Press W. There's also autorun.

#

Yeah RDM Rotation is kind of unique and dualcast is not drilled into you from the beginning, so it may seem unintuitive at first

solar surge
#

I do, was just wondering if right clicking was an option, but I take it by that response that there isn't xD

slate crow
#

I mean, by the time the first spell fires off, I probably would have taken several hits. Doesn’t it interrupt your casting when you get hit?

polar hound
#

'I just unlocked this' 5.x guide
hot eagle
#

anyone else having problem with mogstation
@ionic hazel account wide items can take up to 24h if u are unlucky and when after 24h u didn't get it go support

polar hound
#

you do not cast those abilities manually, Viper

#

you use dualcast to instant cast them from jolt

hazy gorge
#

which base job to pick for samurai?

#

Pugilist?

polar hound
#

RDM has some of the highest burst damage potential so normally things are pretty dead by time they reach you

twilit arch
#

samurai doesn't have a base class

#

doesn't really matter which class you start with if you want to end up as samurai

#

that said though pugilist/monk does share gear with sam

hazy gorge
#

Alright thanks

pearl birch
#

Is something wrong with mogstation? I ordered 2 hours ago it hasnt arrived. I checked my purchase history it's delivered to the right character

hot eagle
#

if it's a account wide item it can take a while if u didn't get it after 24h go write support

#

also can try to relog

pearl birch
#

Thanks. I did relog and refreshed delivery from mogmail. It's flower crown. Ill wait it out thank you!

kind eagle
#

What is this message?

glad comet
#

monthly payment

#

of sub

kind eagle
#

It auto pay?

glad comet
#

notifying you they are about to

#

yes.

#

if you have your card linked to your mogstation account

kind eagle
#

I dont remember making it auto

glad comet
#

It's auto always

kind eagle
#

Last time i pay manually

glad comet
#

Oh wait

#

reading the email

#

it means the sub has been paid.

#

means, it has autopaid.

tender merlin
#

hello guys, im currently level 24 but my dungeons available are from 10~15, do i just continue my main quest to unlock more?

glad comet
#

yes.

kind eagle
#

Oh

vocal shell
#

you out level the msq by alot

gritty oracle
#

Almost everything in this game is msq gated

vocal shell
#

so just progress through it and you’ll unlock more and more dungeons

tender merlin
#

oh okay thank you guys i was worried i was doing something wrong

glad comet
#

there will be a gap in levels

#

it'll be non-existent later on

solid estuary
#

There's at least 2 dungeons you unlock before msq is over thats not msq

hazy flint
#

Do cards and items stil drop in dungeons if you go unsync

solid estuary
#

Lv36 and 37

wraith heart
#

just became scholar today and loving my healing spells. What should I do for dps as a scholar? So far I play solo by spamming ruin while taking damage and letting my faerie heal me.

thick elm
#

god

solid estuary
#

Just keep bio up and use ruin then when you get more for skills use them ovi

twilit arch
#

yes, TT cards and chest drops can be earned unsync @hazy flint

thick elm
#

raubahn is so great

leaden ginkgo
#

weave in enery drain(if u dont need to heal) keep bio up

thick elm
#

we do stan one raubahn in this household, we do

twilit arch
thick elm
#

Oh shit sorry i thought i was in discussion lmfao

kind eagle
#

Sub for 3month can get 2 seater?

wraith heart
#

do scholars have bio and energy drain? i know arcanists do. i must have missed those spells

twilit arch
#

yes they do

wraith heart
#

thanks

slate arrow
#

@kind eagle no

#

if you want to get a two seater mount, most of them require some form of Mogstation purchase, except for the Recruit a Friend chocobos

#

There's only one four seater mount that is earnable in game as well, and it requires completion of one of the Level 80 Savage Raids

leaden ginkgo
#

Hey guys, how are you all
I stopped playing around 5.1?? And now I came back and I kinda want to level up my other jobs...
Are the daily leveling roulette and MSQ still the best now? And if so, what is the best way after I am done with these 2??
Thanks a million

slate arrow
#

#

For the most part this still applies

leaden ginkgo
#

👍 👍 👍 👍

#

Awesome, thanks 😄 😄 😄

hazy gorge
#

Wow, this game has so many players in the beginning area

#

dayum

#

Why is there no voice dialogue at all tho?

#

Like I'm playing mime with elevator music, which is a unique twist.

slate arrow
#

a realm reborn was made in two years, and had an extremely rushed development cycle

#

I think the second voiced scene is the level 15 quest right before you get airship travel

spring oasis
#

@hazy gorge the longer you play the better MSQ becomes

#

In everything

hazy gorge
#

Nice

#

What is a realm reborn? @slate arrow new beginner area or smt?

#

I mean, I never touched any FF game.. this is my free trial XD

spring oasis
#

Mechanics, jobs, voice acting, quests, lore, visuals.

Also where u at?

#

Lisma?

proud willow
#

A Realm Reborn is the name of the base game

spring oasis
#

Starter towns have most activity normally

proud willow
#

which came out in 2013 as a remake/sequel of the original FF14

#

the level 1-50 experience, basically

slate arrow
#

The entirety of your journey from level 1-50 will take place is A Realm Reborn, or 2.0

hazy gorge
#

Ah dope, thanks guys.

#

I am at Gridania @spring oasis

spring oasis
#

@hazy gorge most starter areas besides uldah is packed, not uldah cause its massive

#

But yah

#

Enjoy the game

#

Do 1-50 atleast

hazy gorge
#

I heard 60 was Free trial cap, if I still enjoy it by then I'll get a few months perhaps.

vital ruin
#

Does dungeon queues take a long time
Cos I'm trying to do this sastasha and the average wait time is 12 minutes wtfvierbruh

proud willow
#

queues as a DPS can be rather long

#

healer queues are almost always instant

hot eagle
#

if u want to play sam like u asked earlier iirc u will need to buy it anyway since free trial can't be sam

#

12 min as dps isn't even bad

vital ruin
#

Dammit almost all the MMOs have this issue I just can't play DPS in dungeons :(

spring oasis
#

I mean

#

Dps is most popular thats a given

#

And then it goes between tank and healer sometimes

#

And why i tank

vital ruin
#

7 minutes and no one joined MiqoteDepressed

spring oasis
#

pff 7mins is nothing

vital ruin
#

My tank is only level 12
Arcanist is 20 :/

proud willow
#

keep in mind, the status will not always display people as they join, because some of the people who will be put in your party are rouletting

#

basically you get a chunk of XP once per day for being put into a random dungeon

#

That's how they keep the low level dungeons from being abandoned

vital ruin
#

That is if the game lets me do one

analog gate
#

you can try doing something else while waiting too

vital ruin

does AdvancedCombatTracker work with the current patch ?

hasty cosmos
#

Yes it do

sick osprey
#

how do i make it work then ? the overlay just says "please start combat" and doesnt track anything

hasty cosmos
#

Also you can abandon dungeon freely at that point, it's a big oof but it might be faster

#

You might need to update, my MT had it working for our reclears tonight

sick osprey
#

i did update

hasty cosmos
#

I don't actually use it much myself, but I can confirm it do be working. Maybe make sure you run as admin?

sick osprey
#

already did that

#

guess i'll try reinstall

gritty oracle
#

How hard is ucob with unsync and ilvl480+?

green grail
#

you can't unsync ultimates

frozen karma
#

so my friend sent me a refer code, how long do i have to sub for so she can get the 2 seater mount

gritty oracle
#

Oh

green grail
#

dps checks are easier than on release but you still need to do all mechanics just like on day 1 back in 4.15

gritty oracle
#

Wait so if I wanted to clear ucob, I would be synced to 70? Or have my 80 kit but ilvl synced?

warped nest
#

Synced to 70

green grail
#

warped nest
#

No lvl 80 kit

smoky glade

how do i gather collectibles? i have the stuff unlocked but i can't press the collectibles buttons somehow?

#

What does doing Coils give me? Is there any story content in it?

#

I've already finished ARR fyi

obsidian patio
#

in terms of gear, not much as you can buy dyeable replicas of the stuff from there on the marketboard. (Replica Allagan/High Allagan/Dreadwyrm)

#

in terms of story, it helps explains what happens at the end of 1.0 and gives characterization to Alisaie.

hazy gorge
#

Okay, what the actual f.. I'm here.. minding my level 12 business.. someone flies in with a purple horse.. smashes the whole event up with dope gear and leaves in some bloody santa's sled..

And I can't use whisper in the free trial apparently.. weird..

<pos> marks your current position and lets people click on it to put a flag on their map

No i want the one where I put in x: and y:

obsidian patio

can't do that as a command.

it's taking me very long to download the update is this normal?

#

like in 2800 minutes it says

#

i can't imagine the server is still clogged

obsidian patio
#

you can click on the main map to make a flag at that position. Not sure if it wants a double click or something but you may be looking for that.

warped nest
#

There is no way to "search" a coordinate of your own choosing on the chat log

somber knoll

is there a way to download the update separately/not via the launcher?

warped nest

Nope

How do people get them epic mounts n stuff on low lvl already.. and can you fly anywhere or only in specific area's?

wintry chasm
#

Every area has access to flying now

#

Also they could be max level on one job but are just leveling a low level one

#

Also some mounts are account wide soo

hazy gorge
#

Wym one job?

#

I can become more than just Lancer

#

on 1 character?

warped nest
#

Yes

So ninja/mage/lancer in one is no problemo?

Nope!

Dunno

frank wigeon

ohh as in when im conducting a hunt, i wand to say move to instance  3 2 or 1

obsidian patio
#

you have to interact with the aetheryte of that zone to change instances

mystic barn
#

so i guess it a random period instead of being on a fixed timeline?

obsidian patio
#

i think <pos> links the instance if applicable?

frank wigeon

Does anyone know what the ambient exploration theme is for puppet's bunker that plays when traveling between encounters.

#

Is it from nier or is it an ffxiv exclusive track?

wintry chasm
#

Okay, what the actual f.. I'm here.. minding my level 12 business.. someone flies in with a purple horse.. smashes the whole event up with dope gear and leaves in some bloody santa's sled..
@hazy gorge also by this I assume you were doing a fate or something. You can't really destroy fate enemies by having good gear since you get synced down to an appropriate level. Though they could have just been playing Blue Mage

hazy gorge
#

Well

#

He jumped in

#

Synced to lv 10

#

But I saw a guy with epic gear and dope mounts haha

#

just fly in

kill some lv 4-5 mobs

was sheltron the same before compared today? i noticed that it didn't use oath gauge

**Sheltron** : lvl 35 PLD (50 Oath Gauge) (5.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

It now blocks multiple attacks instead of just one

So Sheltron is good for adds now

Sweet, ty

That title is rather appropriate for the ffxiv portion of the story.

ohh, i see. thanks!

#

How do people generally keep track of when boss FATEs like Formidable and Archeotania show up?

solemn delta
#

Do you think it's worth upgrading the Neo sword and shield for PLD over the relic? I'm thinking not because we're getting relic upgrades soon as well as the fact it's a very minimal upgrade

half kraken
#

Personally I don't care about the 5 ilvl enough, but if you're running savages every little bit counts

solemn delta
#

Yeah I'm not right now, don't think I'll raid savage until next tier just too late

#

I bought the katana for my SAM Main just in case

#

But for that Phantasmmagoria too can upgrade lots of bits for other jobs top

#

Too*

#

To be flexible im thinking of getting a third job past 480 but no idea what

heady orbit
#

Any tips for what jobs should i play as newbie ?one that is not hard to control

#

Rotation

solemn delta
#

What do you like

#

Melee, healer, tank

#

Ranged

heady orbit
#

Melee or ranged

#

Can be magic too

simple shore
#

Some context would be helpful here.

#

as to why you want that

half kraken
#

Easiest starter job would be like archer imo

obsidian patio
#

my general recommendations for classes that start out easy are Marauder/Warrior for tanking, Conjurer/White Mage for healing, Lancer/Dragoon for Melee, Archer/Bard for Ranged, and Thaumaturge/Black Mage for Caster.

solemn delta
#

Yeah. It's a bit mind numbing though archer so beware

#

For me anyway

heady orbit
#

Archer then

#

Hope i will not die non stop

simple shore
#

Just keep in mind that, well

#

other than WAR, nothing "stays" easy

analog gate
#

dancer's easy

heady orbit
#

Ft here

obsidian patio
#

can't start as dancer

analog gate
#

yeah, my bad didn't see op

solemn delta
#

DNC and MCH some may find MCH a bit too much buttons to press but dunno I found it second nature and really easy

#

But yeah later jobs

heady orbit
#

Im also on ps4

simple shore
#

That holds no relevance

solemn delta
#

Controller is very well adapted in this game

patent citrus
#

Promise of devotion bracelets

#

Is it just 1 time usage?

solemn delta
#

I raid savage I know people who do ultimate on controller

heady orbit
#

Awsome

obsidian patio
#

@patent citrus yes, they're only for one marriage

solemn delta
#

But i would adapt settings later to make sure your frames are fine

patent citrus
#

ok ty ty

solemn delta
#

Like if you're on old ps4 lower resolution and turn off all the crap you don't need to see when playing in a group

half kraken
#

There's almost no advantage mouse has over controller imo, other than the niche use of being able to quickly select and raise healers from other alliances in 24mans

patent citrus
#

I think all of Japanese games prioritises console

half kraken
#

Apart from that anyone who treats controller as a handicap is just dumb

patent citrus
#

always be

#

so you don't have to worry

heady orbit
#

First time in a cross play game i feel good

gritty oracle
#

Except if you play astrologian. I've heard AST is painful on controller.

solid estuary
#

Plus you can set up extra inputs to have all your hot bars easily accessible

solemn delta
#

I get frame drops on ps4 pro on 24 man with an SSD but I do play on 4k so I could eliminate that issue

#

Not at all AST just takes getting used to

#

It's hard at first cause you gotta balance 3 things instead of 2

#

Like if you swapped from WHM

#

But you soon get used to it

half kraken
#

Controller has easy access to 48 skills without toggling between hotbars, no class needs more than that

#

If you toggle it's 128 skills

solid estuary
#

Some skills are situational as well so they have less priority

solemn delta
#

48 how my hotbar is 16 I usually toggle between 2

obsidian patio
#

You enable WXHB and Hold Crossbar in character configuration > hotbar settings

solemn delta
#

Yeah like on SAM I only need to change my bar when I'm on down time in a boss fight

#

For meditate and our closer

#

Forget name

stray bronze
#

Is it normal that I want to kill myself during the Titan questline for the feast?

obsidian patio
#

WXHB lets you access two crossbar halves by double-tapping L2 or R2.
Hold Crossbar lets you access another two halves by holding both L2 then R2, or R2 then L2.

solemn delta
#

And knock back immunity actuslly

stray bronze
#

I'm starting to seriously lose my sanity.

solemn delta
#

I'll check it out. I've always just swapped between 2

solid estuary
#

Is there a way to check your damage ? I always feel like I'm not doing much

solemn delta
#

If your on pc yes

solid estuary
#

Ah

solemn delta
#

Console you need to ask a PC player you know

heady orbit
#

Is anyone know a good tutorial on yt how to change my settings and hot bar on ps

solemn delta
#

Or practice on SSS dummies then put that practice into play with mechanics

#

If you can kill Shiva consistently on SSS then only mechanics and floor planting will be your issue

#

Well, and managing uptime etc

solid estuary
#

Yea I play SMN and I don't know what I could be doing to contribute more

solemn delta
#

SMN is the strongest dps in the game in end game raiding well its close between 3. But how's your gear?

obsidian patio
#

if you have parses uploaded from other fights, you can put them on https://xivanalysis.com/ to see what improvements can be made to your rotation.

heady orbit
#

A quick question, if i go for ranger mobs have to be close or they can do dmg even from far away

solemn delta
#

You can kinda use threat meter to determine DPS

#

I did that for a while

solid estuary
#

Threat meter?

solemn delta
#

The number beside your name while fighting an enemy

obsidian patio
#

@heady orbit depends on the exact mob, some do ranged attacks.

solemn delta
#

1-4 in normal dungeons 1-8 etc

#

It's not 100% accurate for many reasons but it's all you can work with without a friend.

obsidian patio
#

though really you don't have to worry about kiting monsters since monsters on the overworld will rarely ever kill you unless you are hit by multiple at once.

solemn delta
#

Ie if you're 4th on threat meter and haven't died and seem to be following rotation and keeping uptime. Your rotation is wrong

obsidian patio
#

it's not always that simple.

solemn delta
#

Gear plays into this as well

#

I did say there is a few factors

dapper oyster
#

i heard there is a special mount for maxing all class, whats the name of that mount?

obsidian patio
#

!mount amaro

zinc orbitBOT
#
Amaro (1 Seats)

Of all the mounts seen in Norvrandt, naught is more ubiquitous than the amaro. Originally created by the mages of ancient Ronka, who selectively bred the flightless cama, present-day beasts carry the seed of their ancestors, which may manifest in the form of superior intellect.

Obtained From

A Life Of Adventure IV (Achievement)

obsidian patio
#

again, if you have parses from FFLOGs that are somewhat recent you can put those into the website i linked and it'll critique how you played.

solemn delta
#

I would say if your pretty new, practice SSS then use threat meter to have a rough gauge of how your doing

#

I agree it's not the best, but it's what we got if we don't got buddies with parse

shrewd mirage
#

Where do i see my IL?

hasty reef
#

Hey so I just started doing pixie beast quests. What does the allowance mean? In my case 12. My understanding is I can do 3 quests a day

#

press c

solemn delta
#

Character screen

#

There's more tribes

shrewd mirage
#

Where on the character screen?

hazy gorge
#

How do people switch classes to level and obtain cosmetics in this game?

obsidian patio
#

@hasty reef correct, 12 is the total you can do across all beast tribes every day

solemn delta
#

Top right

#

Above your toon

hasty reef
#

oh i didnt know it was across all

shrewd mirage
#

Oh there lol thanks!

solemn delta
#

Sometimes you'll get 6 on one day if you rank up but that's not often

hasty reef
#

do the other beast tribes give similar exp?

#

to pixie

solemn delta
#

They are allocated to that level range

#

So no

obsidian patio
#

@hazy gorge
Switching classes is as simple as swapping your mainhand weapon or clicking a gearset action to swap an entire set of gear. You can unlock the ability to become other classes once you complete the level 10 class quest for your starting class.

solemn delta
#

Pixie is for 70-80

hazy gorge
#

Alright thanks a lot @obsidian patio

hasty reef
#

yup, sounds bout right, trying to finish the main game as GNB after hitting 80 on DNC so I've been lving. Thanks all

obsidian patio
#

As for glamour gear, that's an extremely broad answer since there's tons of various methods, along with the fact that any gear (besides belts as they have no model) can be used as glamour

leaden ginkgo
#

do you guys think "Low IQ Gang" for an FC name could be bannable?

solemn delta
#

But if your 60-70 the exp is similar to the level your at doing the 60 beast tribes I believe. I haven't done them though

hazy gorge
#

But mounts n cosmetic overrides are real money or obtainable in-game as well? @obsidian patio

solemn delta
#

No I don't think that's bannable

#

It's not offensive in any way

obsidian patio
#

the mounts and cosmetics in the cash shop can only be obtained from there.

#

and tbh, the ones in there aren't all that great for the most part.

solemn delta
#

Anyone with a really low IQ is probably too stupid to report anyway 😂

obsidian patio
#

the NPC sets can't be dyed so you can't really mix and match with them.

hazy gorge
#

Ahh

pine phoenix
#

Should I get the Aether Oil or Allegan catalyst from the archmagus weekly quest?

hazy gorge
#

Well thanks again haha, so flying mounts n stuff is in-game obtainable easy? @obsidian patio

obsidian patio
#

yes, the game gives you a couple mounts completely free through the story

hazy gorge
#

dope

solemn delta
#

And every mount can fly

#

It's the unlocking that you need

pine phoenix
#

Nvm I get both lol

hazy gorge
#

even a motorcycle? ( saw it on the shop )

solemn delta
#

Yes

#

Legendary lol

#

I want a big ass panda mount pl0x

I think the reference is Gamera from the Godzilla Franchise?

That's awesome

#

I've only got MNK and BRD to omni 80 but I seriously cba. Don't like either uff

#

Even though I basically have BiS for MNK

shrewd owl
#

yep thats a gamera reference
also he's a standalone kaiju

solid estuary
#

How long are the expansions?

potent lava
#

Does the duty roulette pick unfinished duties

obsidian patio
#

it picks basically whatever pops first, it doesn't have much of a preference/priority towards duties you haven't done.

agile laurel
#

but if you're asking if it can or can't, yes it can

obsidian patio
#

depends on the exact roulette

#

Expert I think wants you to have completed the duties at least once before you can queue for it.

agile laurel
#

unfortunately doesn't apply inversely and give me people who've cleared the duty when i queue expert

obsidian patio
#

@solid estuary probably around a week or so each depending on how fast you can read through the cutscenes

#

The expansions have less quests, but longer cutscenes and dialogue compared to the base game.

frozen karma
#

how do I unlock lvl 80 roulette? It says I don't meet the requirement: completion of the following ???

obsidian patio
#

Check the bottom section of Eulmore for a quest there. It might also be The Twinning which is in the Crystarium

frozen karma
#

I finished the ShB story from 5-0, and completed twinning and akadaemia

hazy gorge
#

Is it possible to powerlevel other classes once reaching cap with one?

#

And is it possible to play on steam with an SE account?

azure frost
#

Just beat the last ARR quest (beat ultima) and i noticed a bunch of stuff popped up. I want to finish most if not all ARR content before getting to heavensward. What are things that I should prioritise? Are there any quests specifically better for farming tomestones?

obsidian patio
#

unlock the crystal tower series from the Outlandish Man in Mor Dhona (starting quest name is "Legacy of Allag"), as that is going to be required later on in the ARR story.

#

it also gives a lot of tomestones for going through it and unlocks a roulette that's both good for experience and tomestones of poetics.

azure frost
#

Ok thank you. How do i unlock the extreme trials? I noticed i got "Hard" versions of the Primals, but i assume it's something different right?

obsidian patio
#

extreme trials are separate quests. Garuda/Titan/Ifrit are unlocked as a miniquest series that starts from Urianger in the Waking Sands with the quest "Primal Nature"

#

He later on also has the quests for the extreme primals Moggle Mog, Leviathan, and Shiva. Ramuh Extreme is unlocked in Gridania from Scarlet near the grand company

#

And as a note "Hard" trials are basically the new normal mode for a bit until stormblood where they drop the term

agile laurel
#

they kinda half-dropped the term in HW

obsidian patio
#

Extremes are where the fights are actually hard and require coordination and understanding of the mechanics if done at their intended level.

azure frost
#

Ah ok. Much appreciated. I assume there isn't a way to make dury finder prioritise people with less/more experience? While i do enjoy havibg people giving me tips, i also like to learn content on my own, and my ARR experience with dungeons and such kind of made it seem that would be hard when a lot of more experienced people are around

agile laurel
#

it actually does

#

you can specify people can only join if they HAVEN'T completed

obsidian patio
#

that only applies to endgame raids in the raid finder

#

You can't use that for the duty finder in general.

lavish vortex
#

hi! do you guys know if there is an updated desynth leveling guide?

simple shore
#

There's not really any point to a "desynth levelling guide" anymore.

#

not after the changes

#

All items can be desynthed from 1 skill

#

and you can be max skill in all desynth types

pine phoenix
#

Which path should I level my chocobo companion?

simple shore
#

Healer first, then DPS, then tank.

#

Tank is actually useless but its got passives that will help its damage

somber knoll
#

i would say keep healer and dps closely levelled together

#

but yeah tank last

lavish vortex
#

@simple shore i see, thanks!

simple shore
#

Yeah TL;DR just desynth everything you touch and the skill will happen on its own.

#

Except for ALC, because next to nothing is ALC type

@obsidian patio

Nice to know:

The Level 80 and Expert requires all duties in it maked as complete. The same case was with the L70 back in SB. (Mentor too, but that is different ofc.)

west umbra
#

Hi, are FC's server restricted or datacenter restricted?

wispy parcel
#

Server restricted

polar magnet
#

I have a free trial edition should I buy the more expensive complete edition or the Shadowbringers only

west umbra
#

Thanks!

wispy parcel
#

Shadowbrings comes with all previous expansions but you have to buy the starter edition first

west umbra
#

This explains why I have It all unlocked

polar magnet
#

So the trial edition is not counted as starter edition ?

wispy parcel
#

Nope

polar magnet
#

So I need to buy the complete edition do I get any cap level if I bought it not doing subscription first

#

Coz right now I am cap to level 35 I think

rich bay
#

The normal free trial cap is level 60, but there are other restictions too for free trial. Max level is 80 atm.

wispy parcel
#

No you can reach the max level cap which is 80

#

Doesnt matter when you started paying for it

polar magnet
#

What are the cons of getting subscription

#

Sorry just new player but I am enjoying the trial version

wispy parcel
#

Nothing really as you have access to the full game

patent citrus
#

well if you haven't bought the game before, would recommend the complete edition..

polar magnet
#

Do I need to uninstall my trial or it will auto install those DLC

patent citrus
#

hmm so when you bought the product, you will get a code

rich bay
#

The free trial client will update itself once it notices that the service account is a subscription one.

patent citrus
#

and once you entered, the game will auto upgrade to the product you purchased

rich bay
patent citrus
#

and then you have to download the rest of the patch that you missed

polar magnet
#

I am not going subscription yet just want to buy the complete edition

patent citrus
#

yep

#

the complete edition includes 30 days playtime

polar magnet
#

30 days playtime like a 1 month subscription am I right

patent citrus
#

yeah

polar magnet
#

Should I just finish first the trial edition could I finish it at level 35 at all

patent citrus
#

trial = until lv 60

wispy parcel
#

Trial lets you go all the way to 60

polar magnet
#

Thanks guys I know I am asking a lot just want to make sure I am doing the right way

patent citrus
#

i think someone pinned the restriction that the trial has

grim pivot
#

uuh so I just learnt that all the AST guides on cards with different effects are outdated... any hope they bring it back for 7.0? Im really disappointed now, I thought thats how it still is, but instead I have 6 cards that have the same 2 effects 😦

open coral
#

They are unlikely to change the cards back to the way they were before.

wispy parcel
#

AST is currently the best of the 3 healers so its not likely

rich bay
#

Yup, because AST was too OP before 5.0, it is still very good albit hard to really master it.

grim pivot
#

How are people not perma-complaining the main gimmick was removed almost entirely?

#

6 unique cards changed to 6 cards with 2 effects

polar magnet
#

Another question though seems stupid how do I know I have a free trial

obsidian patio
#

Because the only real good card combo was an AoE balance or spear

open coral
#

On the Mogstation in your account information it will say what version of the game you have @polar magnet

obsidian patio
#

Everything else wasn’t good to go for in raids most of the time

grim pivot
#

and that means just removing it all? I dont get that logic tbh

wispy parcel
#

Now people were heavily complaining about the changes to SCH when 5.0 first dropped

#

But everyone really liked new AST

rich bay
#

Yup Wynne. And because players were too focussed on raid utility, disbalancing the game.

People always complain, it is normal.

obsidian patio
#

You can’t rely on Bole always being there to help mitigate attacks, you can’t rely on Ewer/Spire to be there when people need resources

#

Also TP as a mechanic in stormblood really only existed during AoE or right after being raised

#

Meh guess I'll have to suck it up that I wasted 15€

I thought its the old AST still

How long does it usually take for a tank to queue for dungeons

#

As a DPS it took me 20 minutes

shrewd mirage
#

@vital ruin im a tank and it takes around 1 to 2 mins or less

limber crypt
#

To me: Healer is literally instant (unless you queue to specific odd trials that require long unlock) and tank is 1-5 mins

vital ruin
#

20 minutes

#

20!

earnest wigeon
#

Does the queue time for dungeons go up or down as you queue for higher level dungeons?

wispy parcel
#

DPS queues take so long cause the overwhelming majority of the player base is DPS

open coral
#

20 minutes isn't bad for dps though.

vital ruin
#

I'm still queuing for one and it's already been 10 minutes

#

Ya but still

limber crypt
#

You even see "adventurer in need: DPS" in some level 80 roulettes

earnest wigeon
#

I usually wait like 8-10 mins

open coral
#

Tank/healer queues will always be quicker.

vital ruin
#

At this point why even do dungeons if you can't run a class u like

wispy parcel
#

When I play as DPS I just do other shit while I wait

open coral
#

Does the queue time for dungeons go up or down as you queue for higher level dungeons?
@earnest wigeon It remains largely the same, honestly. Particularly for roulettes and MSQ-related dungeons.

vital ruin

#

Interesting

#

Wait what are roulettes?

harsh gyro
#

Dumb question: can I give another player my excess yokai medals?

limber crypt
#

Sadly no

wispy parcel
#

Your daily runs of dungeons, trials and raids

earnest wigeon
#

Is there like a daily quest feature in this game?

wispy parcel
#

Give you bonus gil, xp and endgame currency

vital ruin
#

Which tank would you prefer between the warrior and paladin and why

earnest wigeon
#

What's endgame currency?

wispy parcel
#

Yes. The roulettes and tribe quests are all dailys

limber crypt
#

There are "beas tribe" dailies but those give mounts and emotes mostly - so not really "epic gear" like in some games

median locust
#

All tanks are good and it's preference

earnest wigeon
#

How do you unlock the daily quests?

patent citrus
#

i prefer paladin just cause aesthetics

wispy parcel
#

@earnest wigeon currency you buy endgame gear with when you reach level cap

harsh gyro
#

Thanks!

patent citrus

like how they looks and their armor

earnest wigeon
#

Oh okay

#

One at a time lol

vital ruin
#

Ive seen people say the paladins are boring till lv 60

wispy parcel
#

They unlock as you play

limber crypt
#

level 50/60/70/80 all have own beast tribes. Usually after you do main story on those levels you get unlock quests ( bluequest icon)

median locust
#

Warrior isn't hard to play, feels beefy and you can heal yourself really well at higher levels. Has a focus on damaging spells. Paladin is more involved to play and has a more defensive toolkit.

earnest wigeon
#

Oh okay, so I'll have to wait a bit before I get daily quests

#

I'm lvl 38 rn

wispy parcel
#

I used to be a PLD main and can confirm we didnt even have a full combo rotation until Heavensward

vital ruin
#

Healing is nice

#

But I just don't like axe much :/

median locust
#

Paladin can also heal themselves but it's a GCD spell so it'll replace a damage spell or weaponskill which is bad, so you barely ever use it

simple pine
#

are there more jumping puzzles like kugane (besides gold saucer)?

median locust
#

For Warrior it's literally free

earnest wigeon
#

Also, can someone explain to me the point of the macro function? Why would I want to use it?

@earnest wigeon for crafting for example

How hard is it to get the tank mounts

sour spoke
#

You get them over time

simple pine
#

hard or tedious/grindy? :p

vital ruin
#

Like the lion mount looks pretty sick

sour spoke
#

it isn't really hard just time consuming

earnest wigeon
#

Hmm

patent citrus
#

hmm macro, just for my auto collapse hotbar

limber crypt
#

Also, can someone explain to me the point of the macro function? Why would I want to use it?
@earnest wigeon Its mostly for cooldowns and advanced players. Macros in this game work bit poorly so its not recommended to use them for regular skills you use a lot

median locust
#

It's easy, you just have to play one single tank a lot

left moth
#

tank mount is mostly a mindless grind process. deltascape v3 or lakshmi ex farming is the norm to work on it

sour spoke
#

@earnest wigeon Its mostly for cooldowns and advanced players. Macros in this game work bit poorly so its not recommended to use them for regular skills you use a lot
@limber crypt never macro cooldowns

vital ruin
#

Ig I'll go warrior for now self healing is nice
Will go for dark Knight later

earnest wigeon
#

So like when I encounter an enemy I always apply poison and windbite to it. Could I make a macro for that?

median locust
#

depends which cooldown

#

No

sour spoke
#

Something like Dragon Eyes is ok to macro

median locust

NEVER EVER macro GCD weaponskills or spells

What's gcd?

median locust
#

Here is why you don't want to use macros for GCD

#

Global Cooldown

wispy parcel
#

Global Cool Down

left moth
#

global cooldown

vital ruin
#

15 minutes and still no tank/healer MiqoteDepressed

limber crypt
#

GCD = Global cooldown. The 2.5 second (base) you see loading every skill

median locust
#

If you use Windbite, it puts most other weaponskills on a 2.5s ish cooldown

sour spoke
#

^

earnest wigeon
#

OHH that

#

Okay

median locust
#

If it's affected by that 2.5s cooldown, it's on the GCD

open coral
#

Wait what are roulettes?
@earnest wigeon To be a bit more specific - once you've unlocked at least two of any given type of queueable instance content (leveling dungeons, for example), you will gain access to a "roulette" for that content which will queue you for a randomly selected instance within that category of all of the ones you've unlocked. Your first roulette in each category will give you a once-daily bonus of xp and currency including gil, GC seals, and (after level 50) various tomestones which can be exchanged for gear.

earnest wigeon
#

Oh I see

#

Thanks :)

#

So then as a bard, would there be any useful macros?

sour spoke
#

Not really

median locust
#

Not really

simple shore
#

That depends on your viewpoint

sour spoke
#

dont focus too much on macros for now

earnest wigeon
#

Hmm, okay

median locust
#

It's useful in some niche cases but none of them affect bard

sour spoke
#

Macros are especially useful for crafting

#

for PVE it has only really niche uses and you gotta know how to use them

left moth
#

I macro some ogcd's to consolidate skills but that's just me (would have to log on again to see which ones) [Pitch Perfect and Sidewinder]

earnest wigeon
#

I'm playing on controller and I'm finding my hotbar cramped and I dont want to make a second hotbar page

open coral
#

The most useful function for combat macros is to apply /echo timers to remind you that long cd skills are available for use.

wintry chasm
#

I'm playing on controller and I'm finding my hotvar cramped and I do t want to make a second hotbar page
You're going to have to sorry

simple pine
#

i dont think you can get away with a single hotbar with any class

wintry chasm
#

Get used to it

earnest wigeon
#

Oh, so it's common

sour spoke
#

Controller isn't really cramped

earnest wigeon
#

I see

sour spoke
#

it depends on your settings

wintry chasm
#

Better to get used to it now than later

open coral
#

Yeah, for controller you need a minimum of two hotbar sets for basically every class.

sour spoke
#

^

earnest wigeon
#

What settings are good for using the controller hotbar?

median locust
#

Like for example, Dragoon has to pick a party member to buff alongside them. Here, macros are useful so you can make it so you just put your mouse over their name to cast the skill, rather than directly target them.

A handful of skills are like this.

limber crypt
#

To whoever asked about end-game currency:

-Tomestone Poetics = 50/60/70 "end-game" gear currency. You can pretty much get gear that might last you next 5 levels of next expansion (so to 55, 65..)

-Phantasma = lvl 80 end-game stuff. You get starting gear with it without paying GIL for neo-ishgard gear

-Tomestone Allegory = end-game of end-games. Weekly cap of 450. You get pretty much "best gear" with this (if you dont do high-end savages).

simple shore
#

Even with my macro usage (yes, i know, its heresy, deal with it), i can only reduce my jobs down to 24 keybinds. That should give you some perspective on waht to expect.

earnest wigeon
#

Ohh that makes sense @limber crypt

wispy parcel
#

Access 2nd hotbar by holding L2 and pressing R2 for the right side of the second page

#

And vice versa for the left

wintry chasm
#

^ that being said you don't really need it. It's just a popular setting. I don't use them for combat and I just swap hotbars normally with no issue

sour spoke
#

Access 2nd hotbar by holding L2 and pressing R2 for the right side od the second page
this is incredibly useful

wintry chasm
#

Also there is an option for double tap L2/R2

open coral
#

I think my only functional macro that isn't a timer is my Asylum macro that places it on my location so I don't have to mess around with the targeting reticle (on controller).

earnest wigeon
#

Hmm, I'll go through the controller hotbar options later

wispy parcel
#

Due to this it arguably easier to play on controller

median locust
#

oh yeah. Ground-based abilities on controller, that's another thing you can macro

#

Doesn't affect bard either tho

earnest wigeon
#

Okay

wispy parcel
#

As everything can be gotten down via muscle memory

wintry chasm
#

It's easier to play on controller without those settings anyway :U

#

It's far from a necessary option but if it helps it's there

earnest wigeon
#

Awesome, thanks guys :)

Not really sure how controller muscle memory is different than KB muscle memory, tbh.

Just own the game

You need to not be on trial.

wintry chasm

buy from where Tutus?

#

It's important

hazy gorge
#

What does the DLC bring? Just extra content?

#

Square Enix

#

As I have an Square Enix acc.

sour spoke
#

You get more levels

#

more level = more content

wintry chasm
#

If you buy the game from Square it won't be added automatically

open coral
#

If you buy the game, you still have to activate it. The expansions give access to the rest of the story and a higher level cap.

Its MMO expansions

you'd need to put in the code on mogstation

I would use the free trial though

limber crypt

Welcome aboard

Just hope lv 80 doesnt take 3 years.

I really wanna join a guild in-game tbh @wintry chasm

arr (starter edition or complete) comes with 30 days. complete incluides current expension

wintry chasm

Guilds are mostly social

Yea, I like social interaction in a game.

would also suggest using up the trial completely first

Also a place to ask questions to not alt-tab constantly.

depends on which server you are playing

@hazy gorge As a measure of time - going through the entire 2.0-2.55 storyline without buffs of any kind currently takes 40-50 hours.

might as well just ask for a random invite

2.0-2.55 is 70 to 80?

hazy gorge
#

Ahh, so start F2P is fine? I thought big guilds were a great part of this game.

wispy parcel
#

Playing normally it might take a few months to reach level cap depending on how often you play

wintry chasm
#

I mean....

#

The main part of the game is the story

faint flare
#

Guilds/fcs are more social if anything

wintry chasm
#

hanging out with people isn't really a unique experience to XIV

wispy parcel
#

This is a final fantasy game first

#

And an MMO second

wintry chasm
#

Besides yeah main story is like, 80% solo anyway soo

simple shore
#

and being in an FC is not required for anything.

hazy gorge
#

I always enjoy the Raids, end-game PvE content and doing things with groups of players.

open coral
#

All of which can be done very easily without an FC

hazy gorge
#

And chatting with a bunch of players here n there to do these activities with.

sour spoke
#

You gotta do the single player to get to the mmo part

hazy gorge
#

True, so start f2p till lv 60, then go paid subscription

#

Can I do multi-class f2p?

limber crypt
#

yes

open coral
#

End game PvE is most commonly done in "statics" which are often not FC-based.

wispy parcel
#

Just a bit of a warning then. The endgame raiding in this game is a bit limited. As in you get 12 savage raids and 2 ultimates per expansion

hazy gorge
#

Are there powerlevel methods for my subclasses later on?
