Where I get Warring Triad Extremes?

small atlas
#

anyone know the best area for a lvl 57 for farming fates to get good xp?

obsidian patio
#

@slate crow At the Rising Stones in the Solar

#

@small atlas probably north half of the sea of clouds or the dravanian hinterlands, but fates themselves aren't good experience.

small atlas

outer plank
#

so... pretty much i havent touched my gathers and crafters in over a year in a half and my botanist which i wanna level first (its been sitting at 54) needs some levequests

#

if thats the most optimal way to level rn?

#

not sure, where the crafter leveling guide

warped nest
obsidian patio
#

leves and collectables for the most part.

spark sail
#

For the Allagan Tombstones, when it says "Resets in 51h" what does that mean?

warped nest
#

The weekly cap

#

Will be refresh in 51 hours

obsidian patio
#

That's for how much time you have left until you can earn more Tomestones of Allegory if you got the maximum of 450 for that week.

spark sail
#

So will I lose what I have?

obsidian patio
#

no

spark sail
#

Ok got it

warped nest
#

You have a weekly quota of 450 allegory

#

So if you only earn 300 this week

spark sail
#

I'm level 52, should I be using these things yet or saving?

warped nest
#

You will be showered with Poetics

#

Poetics aren't capped

#

Only Allegory

spark sail
#

Oh ok got it

#

should I use the Poetics?

warped nest
#

Yes

#

It is the universal tomestone for lvl 50/60/70 endgame trading

outer plank
#

@spark sail poetics, getting iron works gear will carry you for a bit

warped nest
#

For more details

spark sail
#

Ok so go ahead and get Ironworks gear?

outer plank
#

or you can try to blast through to 60 for shire gear

warped nest
#

!faq poetics

zinc orbitBOT
outer plank
#

@spark sail yeah, you should probably because of ilv requirements, though you can just buy some grey gear from a vendor in corethas foundation

#

and try to dungeon spam for more items

#

by lv 54 the dungeon gear will beat iron works

spark sail
#

Well the MSQ gear seems plenty sufficient so far

outer plank
#

probably best to save your poetics for lv 60

spark sail
#

ok perfect

warped nest
#

Just upgrade as you see fit

outer plank
#

and buy the idyllishire gear

warped nest
#

Very hard to get gearing wrong

#

Plus poetics is easy to get

crimson wind
#

How much Umbrite and Singing Clusters do I need?

#

I forgot

twilit arch
#

60-80 for umbrite

#

50 singing clusters

spark sail
#

It seems that there are an infinite number of level 50 MSQs

crimson wind
#

Should be around 70, stick around

#

it's lead up to one of the best expacs when it comes to story

#

So just power through it, pace yourself

#

Don't burn out

sharp meteor
#

is ishgard restoration shb content?

gloomy ice
#

Each level threshold (50, 60, 70, and 80) has post main quest story. ARR's is a little long but it's all build up to themes and ideas you'll see even as far as Shadowbringers.

proud willow
#

Restoration unlocks during post-HW, after you finish patch 3.3

open coral
#

There are about 80 level 50 “post-ARR” quests @spark sail

mental garnet
#

is there a way to get unaugmented poetics gear so that i can have an augmented and an unaugmented ring?

open coral
#

Not anymore

mental garnet
#

now that the shops have changed to selling augmented

#

dang

open coral
#

The next best you can get are the Gloam rings from the msq

mental garnet
#

kk

open coral
#

110 ilevel

mental garnet
#

thanks

celest bison
#

idk how pc works cuz im mac person, but my pc friend has trouble downloading the patch for the game. she already uninstalled and reinstalled the game several times and shes still having trouble. she doesnt know whats wrong with her pc

gloomy ice
#

Level 50 i115 rings can be bought in Ishgard, but HQ would be preferable. Check MB for prices to see.

celest bison
#

can someone pls help me so i can inform her?

open coral
#

Not enough information

#

Which version of the game is she trying to download? What errors is she getting?

celest bison
#

i already asked her that and shes like IDK

#

lemme ask again

gusty storm
#

what is drgs rotation like

scarlet sandal
#

like a never ending loop

open coral
#

It’s... a rotation

#

Push the shiny buttons in order

#

Just like any other melee dps

worn scaffold
#

Could anyone help explain to my dumbass what cardinal and inter cardinal means? I recently started jumping into EX's and people have mentioned this before the fight. Cardinal is just North East South West from like a compass right? And Inter is like "North east" or "South west" for example right?

scarlet sandal
#

I mean it's not exactly that simple tell somebody that for samurai or monk to just press whatever button pops up next

#

There is a certain order it's not very difficult but you can't just press anything

obsidian patio
#

@worn scaffold yep

celest bison
#

nvm... my friend got me confused, i thought she was talking about ffxiv, but its something else @open coral sorry for the confusion

worn scaffold
#

I see

#

Cool ty

open coral
#

No worries

gusty storm
#

ah so its a good beginner class

frank wigeon
#

i was going to ask a question, but i answered it. thank you xD

obsidian patio
#

yes

#

you just need to be able to switch back to the class you queued up with when the queue pops

leaden ginkgo
#

are there different models of the orchestrion?

#

(furniture)

remote lintel
#

there's a mini one and a moogle one

#

and I think another animal shaped one

nova umbra
#

the potency is kinda low, and I'm not exactly sure how powerful a critical direct hit is

magic light
#

it's a free ogcd

#

that i wish that was just in dream within a dream

obsidian patio
#

a critical direct hit, depending on how much crit you have, basically doubles the damage compared to a normal hit

nova umbra
#

so basically a free ogcd 3rd weapon combo

outer plank
#

my chimp brain is half understanding how collectables work, im stuck on how to properly use apprisal

manic silo
#

hello

#

how do i change job to dragoon? i just finished lancer lv30 quest but didnt get another quest

obsidian patio
#

what is your current story quest?

manic silo
#

honoring memory of 5 years ago iirc

obsidian patio
#

Can you give the exact quest name please? That way I can see how much more quests you need to do until you can unlock jobs

manic silo
#

A Hero in the Making

obsidian patio
#

oh then you're extremely close then, about 4 quests away from Sylph-Management which is the quest you need to complete

manic silo
#

Hooo

#

Thankyou

#

where do you get updated info?

obsidian patio
#

once you complete that quest just go back to the lancer's guild and there'll be a quest that takes you to the dragoon teacher in the Coerthas Central Highlands, which is accessed through the north shroud on the west side

manic silo
#

i see a lot of old ffxiv or something

obsidian patio
manic silo
#

alright thanks

crimson wind
#

What are all the hildibrand related duties

obsidian patio
#

Battle on the Big Bridge
The Dragon's Neck
Battle in the Big Keep
Kugane Ohashi

#

first three from ARR Hildibrand, last one from stormblood hildibrand

crimson wind
#

Thought there was more, huh

#

Do people still queue for them

#

Or will I have to do em unsynced

obsidian patio
#

not particularly, though I still rarely get them through trial roulette

crimson wind
#

k, thank ya

karmic niche
#

i still dont understand how bard work and i am at lvl 35 lol

tepid stag
#

why can't I interact with the collectable appraiser in idyllshire

obsidian patio
#

see if you have the quest "Go West, Craftsman" in Mor Dhona, as that's required to use them

#

@karmic niche bard's rotation is a bit awkward before you get all 3 songs to cycle through (Wanderer's Minuet, Mages' Ballad, Army's Paeon), so until then you basically just make sure none of your damage abilities are on cooldown

karmic niche
#

i see

obsidian patio
#

once you get Army's Paeon you want to use that once Mages' Ballad runs out of time

tepid stag
#

is there a way to check every crafting recipe book there is so I know what to get

obsidian patio
#

and then once you finally get Wanderer's Minuet you can keep a song active at all times, with optimal play being you have Wanderer's and Mages' last for their full duration and then you purposefully cut off Army's duration at around 20 seconds

#

so it'd look like Wanderers for 30 > Mages for 30 > Army for ~20 > repeat

karmic niche
#

so mage - army - wanderers?

obsidian patio
#

@tepid stag if you mean see what the books give, you can't do that ingame without actually using them

#

no sorry, the arrows show order, not strength

#

so wanderers into mages into army

karmic niche
#

ah ok

tepid stag
#

no I mean what books are available that you can get to unlock recipes

glad comet
#

wanderer -> mage -> army

obsidian patio
#

books 1 and 2 (earned in Mor Dhona from Talan) give level 50 recipes, 3 and 4 give level 60 recipes, 5 and 6 give level 70 recipes, 7 and 8 give level 80 recipes

#

you need to be at those levels to be able to use the books, so you can't use the mastercraft 5 and 6 books for weaver if your weaver is only level 60, for example.

violet star
#

How often does regen tick?

obsidian patio
#

every 3 seconds

violet star
#

is this true for every dot?

obsidian patio
#

yep

wind copper
#

Ff14 is my first mmo that has a lot of abilities for characters so I’m try to get comfortable with a keybind setup that works for me I’m currently using 1-9,shift, ctrl,alt as my 4 hotbars is this fine as a setup or am I hurting myself?

simple shore
#

You can do what you want, but i wouldnt suggest those binds

#

As a general reccomendation, anything above 5 on the numbers is a bad bind, because it requires you to stretch so far as to take your fingers off of WASD completely.

#

Personally, i use 1-5 + FERGQCV and Shift-modifiers of those as well.

wind copper
#

that’s kinda how I have it set up I don’t go farther than 6

#

I’m currently playing sam

leaden ginkgo
#

it doesn't matter if the servers full / congested, if i transfer servers i can still join a full server correct??

simple shore
#

There are no "Congested" servers currently.

leaden ginkgo
#

ah well like

#

you get me

#

if its not letting people in i can buypass that if im transfering right

simple shore
#

Yes. That is unrelated to the process.

tall lava
#

so i'm not sure if i'm having an error or something but i can't pick up my dwarf tribe rank up quest? actually im looking right now and ronitt isnt even by the tank for some reason

leaden ginkgo
#

ok good heeeheee

simple shore
#

Where are you tranferring anyway?

leaden ginkgo
#

tonberry, rn im in coeurl

#

transferring cause im a aussie in a na server, timezones are shit

simple shore
#

Hah, that's quite a jump

obsidian patio
#

@tall lava and you're at max reputation points to get the rank up quest?

cloud lake
#

Could anyone help me out with a proper rotation for smn aoe and single target

obsidian patio
#

might be a culling issue with a lot of people standing by them?

tall lava
#

i dont think so? theres only about 5 other ppl here

cloud lake
#

Also at level 67

obsidian patio
#

Do you perhaps already have the quest and it's hidden in your quest log due to having a lot of other quests?

#

the quest log can only show 5 active quests at a time so you may need to pin the quest to have it active

simple shore
#

not answering the SMN question because im not galaxybrain enough to play SMN properly

tall lava
#

i wasnt able to pick the quest up at all. ronitt wasnt showing a quest marker above his head or giving me the dialogue to rank up

cloud lake
#

@simple shore all good

warped nest
#

@cloud lake I can help

#

If you don't mind helping me remembering ability/spell name

cloud lake
#

Alright again I am new to smn

#

just unlocked it

#

but its at 67

warped nest
#

Ahhh, lvl 30

#

Oh

cloud lake
#

I dont

#

want to f it up by going in a dungeon not knowing what im doing

simple shore
#

That's gonna be awkward unless you go do your job quests first.

warped nest
#

Fair, I assume you have done all the job quests?

cloud lake
#

Yes sir

#

or at least up to 60

plain sky
#

Hey guys, I need a little help.
I'm stuck on the mission "A Time to Every Purpose"
When I speak to the NPC it says I need to complete "certain quests in the Crystal Tower series"
I spoke to some unknown guy or something and started a mission and did a dungeon thing fighting a giant walking dragon, but now it just keeps saying I have to complete "certain quests"???

cloud lake
#

it stopped there

warped nest
#

That's fine

#

@cloud lake OK, first, let's talk pets

#

You have 3 pets

#

But you use two of them

simple shore
#

@plain sky you need to complete all three Crystal Tower 24 man raids and the associated quests. This starts with "Legacy of Allag", given by the NPC "Outlandish Man" just outside of the Rising Stones in Mor Dhona.

cloud lake
#

I have the garuda one out

warped nest
#

Garuda Egi is your AOE pet, while Ifrit Egi is your single target pet

cloud lake
#

Alright

plain sky
#

Right right, I did that

#

but then it sorta just ended

simple shore
#

You didnt do all of it.

#

Else you wouldnt have that message

plain sky
#

right, but how do I continue it?

simple shore
#

One sec

#

Go to your quest journal

plain sky
#

yup

simple shore
#

In the top right, click complete

#

Click on the Red Q icon

#

and then hit the dropdown for Crystal Tower

warped nest
#

@cloud lake Egi Assault and Egi Assault II command your pets to do attacks

simple shore
#

and tell me what the final quest is you show as having complete

#

as in the bottommost one

plain sky
#

Legacy of Allag

#

That's it

simple shore
#

Okay so the next quest is "Sanding It Down"

plain sky
#

gotcha

cloud lake
#

I got those 2 right by eachother

simple shore
#

that should come from Rammbroes over by the Sons of Saint Coinach.

warped nest
#

So just do you Egi Assault whenever they are ready

simple shore
#

Eastern Mor Dhona

cloud lake
#

Whenever they

#

re not on cooldown

plain sky
#

oh yep, I see it on the map, thanks!

warped nest
#

take note that I will withhold some info because you are lvl 67, this is just to get you into the door

plain sky
#

where can I see all the quests so I know what to do after that?

cloud lake
#

Sounds good

simple shore
#

I'll just DM you mine.

warped nest
#

OK, before we even get to AOE/Single Target

plain sky
#

too easy

warped nest
#

Let's talk Dreadwyrm Trance (shorthand as DWT)

#

!action Dreadwyrm Trance

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Dreadwyrm Trance** : lvl 58 SMN (55.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Reduces spell casting time by 2.5 seconds.
Duration: 15s
Additional Effect: Resets Tri-disaster recast timer
Additional Effect:
Shares a recast timer with Firebird Trance.

cloud lake
#

Yeah I got 15 secs to spam pretty much anything till the last 3 seconds

warped nest
#

There you go

cloud lake
#

Then I spam deathflare

warped nest
#

In AOE situation, you will do Outburst

#

In single target, your Ruin III

cloud lake
#

Alright let me put that in my hotbar

#

alright

#

good to go continue

warped nest
#

Next, we have Energy Drain and Energy Siphon

#

They give you Aetherflow stack (drain is single target, siphon is AOE)

cloud lake
#

alright

warped nest
#

And you just spend the Aetherflow stack on Painflare (AOE) or Fester (Single Target)

cloud lake
#

I might need to make a aoe bar and a single target bar one sec

warped nest
#

Take note that there are small changes in these skills later on and it will affect how you arrange them. for example, Outburst should stay near Ruin III, at lvl 72+, you get a new stance that uses both of them.

cloud lake
#

alright

warped nest
#

Tri Disaster is your primary dot ability, and it gets reset everytime you use DWT

#

Most of the time you shouldn't be casting Miasma or Bio manually

cloud lake
#

So do you ever have to use bio and miasma

#

alright

#

cool

cerulean grove
#

should i make these sidequests in the beginning?
or just main quest

warped nest
#

You will use bio and miasma occasionally, but most of the time tri disaster will do all the heavy lifting.

cloud lake
#

Alright

warped nest
#

Bane is the ability to spread your bio/miasma from a target to nearby targets

cloud lake
#

so you bane after tri

#

assuming

warped nest
#

Yup

obsidian patio
#

@cerulean grove right at the very beginning you'll want to do some for the gil and experience

#

but once you unlock dungeons they stop being good experience and gil for the most part

cloud lake
#

alright

warped nest
#

Enkindle just make your pet do a big attack, so keep it near Egi Assault I and II

#

I think that's it for most of the key spells/ability

cloud lake
#

Will do

cerulean grove
#

@obsidian patio what level should i do them to?

warped nest
#

The rest you can just read tooltips and work it out

cloud lake
#

so for aoe rotation

oak chasm
#

hi guys any tips on what dps class to play? is there any class to avoid

cloud lake
#

would it look like

obsidian patio
#

!faq meta

zinc orbitBOT
#
How FFXIV's Meta Works

All jobs are good and viable in all content. The difference between meta and non-meta is minor, to the point that player skill is a significantly more important factor. Play what you enjoy/what interests you most, and you can make it work.

cloud lake
#

tri vbane

#

dread

#

to outburst

oak chasm
#

oh

warped nest
#

Summoner has a lot to juggle

obsidian patio
#

@cerulean grove I'd say level 10 or so, the story will start to carry you gear and gil-wise at that point compared to sidequests

cloud lake
#

with energy siphion somewhere in there

cerulean grove
#

@obsidian patio thanks!

#

is there like crafting gathering professions? and what are some good ones?

cloud lake
#

Would I ever use painflare?

warped nest
#

Your AOE tools include:
Outburst, Garuda Egi and related skills, Energy Siphon, Painflare

oak chasm
#

which class would be the most fast paced?

warped nest
#

Dreadwyrm Trance is good for both AOE and Single Target

cloud lake
#

Alright

warped nest
#

!action Painflare

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Painflare** : lvl 52 SMN (5.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Deals unaspected damage with a potency of 130 to target and all enemies nearby it.
Aetherflow Gauge Cost: 1

warped nest
#

Painflare just does good damage

#

!action Outburst

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Outburst** : lvl 40 SMN (400 MP) (2.5 second cooldown)(2.5 second base cast time)

Deals unaspected damage with a potency of 90 to target and all enemies nearby it.

obsidian patio
#

in terms of the base game classes Pugilist/Monk and Rogue/Ninja get pretty fast GCDs

cloud lake
#

okay I think I understand it

warped nest
#

Summoner has a lot of things to juggle if you haven't notice by now XD

cloud lake
#

Yeah I get that lol

obsidian patio
#

@cerulean grove yeah there's crafting and gathering classes. though for crafters you want to level up pretty much all of them together so they can share materials and use the same equipment. You don't have to do the same for the gathering classes since they can rely perfectly fine on vendor-bought gear

warped nest
#

You want to make sure that your Energy Drain/Siphon get used whenever they are ready, because you don't want to sit on the Aetherflow stack (which is more damage)

#

Same deal with the Egi Assault I/II

#

(I left out a detail on Ruin IV procs from using Egi Assault I/II)

#

Then maintain DoT damage on enemy/enemies

cerulean grove
#

@obsidian patio Should i be both gathering and crafting or either or?

warped nest
#

Do Dreadwyrm Trance on the clock.

obsidian patio
#

If you want to level up crafters then I do also recommend gatherers to save yourself gil

cloud lake
#

Going to practice on some dummies

#

see how well I do with it

warped nest
#

!faq balance

zinc orbitBOT
obsidian patio
#

but for gatherers themselves you don't have to level up crafting classes to gear them up

warped nest
#

Lazy, go here for the full guide on lv 80 Summoner

cloud lake
#

Will do

warped nest
#

The key differences between lvl 67 and lvl 80 are:

  • you summon Bahamut after DWT (at lvl 70, 2 DWT is required to build the resources for 1 Bahamut, it becomes 1 DWT for 1 Bahamut at lvl 72). And Bahamut do follow up attacks with your spells, and Bahamut get to do its own Akh Morn (which is like your death Flare in function: hit hard like a train)
#
  • your Firebird stance learnt at lvl 72 will be able to summon Phoenix at lvl 80 after Bahamut is summoned. Firebird stance upgrades your Ruin III and Outburst and you use these two alternatively. Phoenix can do its own version of a Akh Morn / Death Flare like attacks.
cerulean grove
#

@obsidian patio is crafting/gathering profitable here?

obsidian patio
#

yes

#

though gathering by itself requires a fair amount more effort in terms of finding what's profitable

warped nest
#

@cloud lake good luck and have fun with summoner

trim oriole
#

im getting conflicting answers but after i hit the free trial cap and activate my shadowbringers key i still get my 30 days of free sub time right?

nova umbra
#

any tips on finding accursed hoards without intuition? :x

#

for the 100 achievement 😦

warped nest
#

Your 30 days come from the Starter Edition

#

(Complete Edition includes Starter Edition)

nova umbra
#

there are some posts with maps on reddit, but it makes no sense to me lol

leaden ginkgo
#

Is the story implying that my character is literally 1v1'ing primals when it gives me a duty ?

trim oriole
#

yeah i bought the complete edition with shadowbringers just wanted to know when i hit level 60 cap and activate it that i still get my 30 days game time

obsidian patio
#

yes you'll get it

warped nest
#

@leaden ginkgo nope

#

You asked for help from other adventurers

cerulean grove
#

@obsidian patio where can i find the aetheryte inside the city?

obsidian patio
#

@nova umbra if you're talking about the posts I remember seeing a long time ago, it's basically that certain room shapes have multiple preset locations where hordes can spawn

warped nest
#

@trim oriole yes you do

leaden ginkgo
#

Oh okay because i just beat ramuh and he's basically praising me alone so i was confused

obsidian patio
#

like ones with a pillar/hole in the middle, one with rubble covering where a door or two would be.

nova umbra
#

does just the room matter, or do connected rooms matter too?

obsidian patio
#

so you basically stand on all of those preset locations and not move for a few seconds and see if you manage to find a hidden one

#

IIRC, no.

#

just the shape of the room

leaden ginkgo
#

Speaking of which are there fights that are better than ramuh because its literally my fav fight so far

obsidian patio
#

@cerulean grove they're marked on the map with a light-blue crystal

cerulean grove
#

its a quest

#

ive already attuned to like 6 different things

#

but i cant get it completed

exotic ridge
#

Levelling an Alt, dungeons dont give huge xp as ive done the daily, Palace of the dead - no one is around, killing normal stuff doesnt give hardly any xp. what else can I do?

obsidian patio
#

Queue for the highest level dungeon you're able to do, don't just keep doing the leveling roulette

cerulean grove
#

oh nvm its this big ass aetheryte inside the plaza

trim oriole
#

would i get any benefit to activating my game key rn? besides being able to join a guild and stuff

#

like anything to do with leveling etc?

warped nest
#

Not really

My issue is thats 4k ish for a lvl 35 dungeon. I need 50k just to finish lvl 39

plain python
#

how to rank up Flame rank further?

#

there are still a few items greyed out for me

obsidian patio
#

that doesn't sound right, Qarn should give you vastly more than 4k experience.

#

Also, you can unlock another dungeon closer to your level, being Cutter's Cry in the Ul'dah marketplace

#

which is a level 38 dungeon

plain python
#

do you do leveling routlette?

obsidian patio
#

@plain python complete your grand company hunting log and do fates as needed to get the needed seals to pay for promotions

willow ore
#

Does it matter what I grab in early quest rewards?

mental garnet
#

when i hard queue for a duty and there are already several people populating the party roles, does that mean they're also hard queueing for it?

obsidian patio
#

@willow ore in terms of gear, just make sure you're grabbing stuff your class should be using

plain python
#

@obsidian patio I complete everything and cannot pay to promote further

obsidian patio
#

tanks should be grabbing gear that only lists the tank classes, which should look something like GLA/PLD/MRD/WAR/DRK/GNB in the item's tooltip

plain python
#

maybe I need beyond ARR content to rank up?

proud willow
#

@mental garnet pretty sure that is the case, although it's really weird there'd be 14 people hard queued for Ridorana

obsidian patio
#

Melee and Physical Ranged DPS should be grabbing Disciple of War gear, with Lancer/Dragoon sometimes being able to get tank-lite gear that they can use

#

caster dps and healers should be grabbing the "All Class" gear

potent lava
#

nvm found it

obsidian patio
#

@plain python what's your current rank?

willow ore
#

I'm at the point where it doesn't say anything, but that's really good to know, thank you.

obsidian patio
#

it should say so on the tooltip

willow ore
#

Oh, it does say something, I missed it the first glance, still thanks.

plain python
#

second flame lieutenent

obsidian patio
#

Are you able to interact with the door near the hunting board of your GC?

plain python
#

yeah I can use sqadron

obsidian patio
#

you need to level them up to promote to First Lieutenant and Captain

#

First Lieutenant requires completing the level 40 Flagged mission

#

after that Captain is unlocked by completing 5 different squadron dungeons

plain python
#

ah ok

#

does pet drop from dungeons bid-able or it just your personal loot?

karmic niche
#

you mean minions?

obsidian patio
#

if you mean minions, they're rolled on by the party as a whole

plain python
#

yeah

obsidian patio
#

The only dungeon I can recall that can directly drop the minion into your inventory is The Antitower which has 2 different minions

#

one being from the final boss coffer, and the other being a direct drop to inventory

twilit arch
#

fairly certain both minions are chest drops

karmic niche
#

the level 47 dungeon 100% drop a minion

#

some side quest also give minions

shell dagger
#

hi all, i have a question. i really hate it when utter strangers walk up to my character and use the /slap emote on me. it's triggering (trauma blah blah). is there any way to stop this? if i blacklist them afterwards, will they be able to stop emoting on me? i'm guessing that updating my status to "busy" won't stop this either?

#

i've noticed that it's mostly sprouts who do this too, obviously not regulars

obsidian patio
#

nothing you can really do about it besides asking them to stop

plain python
#

I got a cactus pet. This is what I imagine when you say Final Fantasy cactus. Sabotender is just impostors 😮

shell dagger
#

sigh, that's what i figured 😔 i wish they would add a new feature to block people from emoting certain emotes on you

plain python
#

do people still do Odin fate?

karmic niche
#

is your character look too cute?

#

no

#

or that person ahte you?

#

hate*

plain python
#

my character got free petting from a bunch of people when doing vista hunt 😮

cerulean grove
#

is there a way to attack other than right click

plain python
#

auto-attack?

little swift
#

Tab to select targets

plain python
#

is there a way to hide FATE progression UI?

signal garnet
#

where can I go to buy lvl 70 crafting gear?

plain python

it makes my quest notification UI disappear

cerulean grove
#

why do all skills have such long cd timers

#

is that with all skills

obsidian patio
#

if you mean the 2.5 second GCD, then yes.

#

the melee job that aren't lancer/dragoon get skills and buffs that have them play around 1.9-2.1 seconds on average depending on the exact job and their stats

leaden ginkgo
#

what phantasmagora mats sell the best?

cerulean grove
#

seems dull in some way

#

having such long cds

pure adder
#

As you get higher in level Cas you'll get abilities that are off the global cooldown, and make combat more interesting/fast paced

karmic niche
#

i guess you play chinese/korean mmo ha

cerulean grove
#

@pure adder ahh great

#

i was like what? all spells 2.5secs? jeez

pure adder
#

Yea combat can feel a bit slow under 50 :')

obsidian patio
#

@leaden ginkgo check all the ones at the top of the list that cost 20 phantasmagoria

#

those are the most current ones that are used for the neo-ishgardian and Aesthete sets

#

dried hi-ether will probably be the lowest selling of them all, but the rest are fairly sporadic on which ones sell the most

#

some days it's the resin and adhesive, and some days it's the fleece and skin

shell dagger
#

once i got slapped just sitting there in east shroud by the aertheryte 😦

rotund sable
#

might be possible to hide that entire element of chat, but you'd still see the animation

hidden lotus
#

Hiya, more BLU questions! :P
What's a good way to slot materia for the gear? I think I saw someone mention before DH/Det?

obsidian patio
#

@hidden lotus crit is your go-to meld if it can fit, after that spell speed and diret hit have pretty equal melding priority

hidden lotus
#

Aaaalrighty

outer plank
#

where can i buy lv 60-70 dol accessories

obsidian patio
#

besides the yellow scrip gear, only the marketboard, or craft them yourself.

#

you can buy i200 accessories from the Sundry Splendor in Ishgard near the aetheryte

nova umbra
median scaffold
#

hey so

#

Im doing the trials of the braves books

#

I completed Book 1 of PLD shield

#

do I turn it in anywhere? or do i just grab the next book

obsidian patio
#

Just grab the next one and you'll automatically turn it in

median scaffold
#

ok thanks god

#

bc

#

I grabbed the next book and Book 1 disappeared

#

i was hoping i didnt just lose progress

#

okay so it says completed for book 1 still, its not in my key items

#

im assuming it just took book 1 automatically?

leaden ginkgo
#

I'm curious, what's your Character Lightning slider option set to?

obsidian patio
#

yep

nova umbra
#

does anyone know how that guy got a top-down view of the potd maps?

#

from the link above?

obsidian patio
#

I was going to say gpose, but I don't think you can get a perfect top-down view like that

heady orbit
#

Is warrior a tank or dps ?

obsidian patio
#

tank

heady orbit
#

Is he have the easiest rotation?

#

Im lancer and if kinda hard on later lvls

obsidian patio
#

tanks in general have it pretty easy for their rotation

#

warrior definitely being the easiest or 2nd easiest

little swift
#

Lancer doesn't have a terribly difficult rotation either

#

Its pretty strict and consistent

heady orbit
#

For me he have

cobalt wedge
#

when is daily reset?

obsidian patio
#

!daily

zinc orbitBOT
#
Tick, Tock, Kupo!
Time Until Daily Reset:

0 Days, 6 Hours, 40 Minutes, 37 Seconds

heady orbit
#

Im lvl 33 and im ok with rotation now but later will be harder

shrewd owl
#

dragoon has a pretty ez rotation imo
it is very strict and u cant really mess up with it

karmic niche
#

dragoon can jump off the cliff though

#

which is nice

obsidian patio
#

Once you hit a high enough level your rotation is basically just swapping between the two combos

karmic niche
#

this is what i heard but dragoon feel meh playing until 70+

obsidian patio
#

A lot of jobs feel meh/incomplete until the later levels.

#

IMO Dragoon starts to feel mostly complete around level 64.

karmic niche
#

i haven't tried samurai yet so can't feel for every melee dps

obsidian patio
#

Samurai really hits its stride at 62 when you get the trait that greatly boosts kenki generation

plain python
#

what should I do with my first 500 poetics?

karmic niche
#

nothing

obsidian patio
#

Get another 100 and you can spend it on an i130 weapon to greatly help with the base game story

karmic niche
#

get 600 to get your weapon

#

remember

#

the augment

#

not the other one

#

like i did

#

lol

plain python
#

the augement ironwork? :d

karmic niche
#

yes

obsidian patio
#

you can't buy unaugmented anymore

karmic niche
#

it said lvl 130 weapon

obsidian patio
#

it's all augmented now

karmic niche
#

i got the lvl 110 weapon

#

lol

#

by accident

obsidian patio
#

oh that

unkempt oasis
#

any guid to lvl up from 70 to 80 quick?

karmic niche
#

i don't think so?

obsidian patio
#

Daily Roulettes > spam highest level dungeon or trusts if queue time is too long

shrewd owl
#

Pixie beast tribe quests give quite a bit of xp too

obsidian patio
#

Clan Nutsy hunts are also pretty decent too while you're waiting in queue

leaden ginkgo
#

Is ghere a way to auto craft

#

Specifically with crafting

#

Weaving
*

twilit arch
#

there's quick synth, but generally only want to use that when you are mass producing and don't care about getting hq

leaden ginkgo
#

How can I quick synth

twilit arch
#

iirc its unlocked at lv10 and you have to craft the item atleast once manually. option is at the bottom part of the window

leaden ginkgo
#

Ah that's why

leaden ginkgo
#

So I'm assumign manually its better do to evrrutbing for more exp?

narrow vale
#

Should I look up how to do the 3 raid for Crystal tower questline or is it easy and straight forward enough to go in blind?

obsidian patio
#

yes, as experience gain is based on how much you fill the quality bar

karmic niche
#

go blind

#

lol

twilit arch
#

they're straight forward and easy enough

karmic niche
#

most people will tell you what to do in that raid

obsidian patio
#

note that you can make macros for crafting stuff that will work almost all the time if you don't use actions that have a chance of failure

twilit arch
#

CT in particular is a steam roll at this point so most of the mechanics mentioned in the guide won't be seen anyway

obsidian patio
#

unlike combat classes, crafters can use macros perfectly fine for automating your rotation and help for crafting lots of high-quality items

slate crow
#

There a way to find groups who will unsync stuff?

obsidian patio
#

party finder is the general go-to

covert dagger
#

Is there a way to navigate through windows with arrow keys? Gamepad has this white glove going on for selecting options

slate crow
#

I never used it, so didn’t know how specific it got.

leaden ginkgo
#

Macros?

#

As in a cast sequence macro to do the entire craft automatically?

obsidian patio
#

yep

leaden ginkgo
#

That will be handy in future

obsidian patio
little swift
#

@covert dagger numberpad by default is your selection and navigation keys a la controller style

covert dagger
#

I see, thanks!

gusty storm
#

can i start as a certain class but not go to their starting area

scarlet sandal
#

You mean like when you first make a new character

gusty storm
#

yea

scarlet sandal
#

You can only choose what's there on character creation

gusty storm
#

doomed

scarlet sandal
#

And whichever job it is starts in that City

#

You can't get your next job until like level 15 I think

gusty storm
#

monk staring area so bad ill just pick up the class later

scarlet sandal
#

Monk just sucks in general

#

But you're going to eventually go to every city so it doesn't matter too much

gusty storm
#

fr

little swift
#

You can switch classes once you finish your first lv10 class quest

#

Monk is fine

gusty storm
#

ul'dah is just so boring but if i go there eventually i might just delete my lancer and make monk

little swift
#

You're limited to your own starting cities classes though until about lv15 main story

gusty storm
#

i dunno, ty tho

scarlet sandal
#

I'm learning monk but once it's 80 I am never touching it till 6 0 when i need to level

little swift
#

That doesn't mean it's bad

scarlet sandal
#

or a better was is personally it's the most fun fun I've ever had with a job in this game

#

unfun*

plain python
#

in ultimate weapon quest, it said I board the power armor

#

but how

gusty storm
#

seems fun

#

but if you think so ill hold up on it

#

levelling a lancer very cool

obsidian patio
#

@plain python you have to interact with the terminal before getting on the elevator to use the magitek

exotic ridge
#

Rook Overdrive do you use it the same time as the turret? or just before

little swift
#

Again your opinion of a job being unfun doesn't mean you can perpetuate it as bad objectively in the help channel

obsidian patio
#

the turret will use it automatically when the duration runs out, you only use it yourself if the target will die or become invincible before it runs out of time

little swift
#

The turret will cast it at the end of its lifespan

#

@gusty storm fun on a job is subjective. Most jobs don't really come into their identity until much later. Monk feels complete much earlier than other jobs and just gets more tools to use with its base rotation

cold crescent
#

hey little question

#

that new game plus feature

#

is it ever going to cover realm reborn content

obsidian patio
#

in 5.35

cold crescent
#

neat

#

will that include sidequests or just msq stuff

#

havent tried it yet lol

obsidian patio
#

likely just the msq

cold crescent
#

coo tyty

#

kinda tuned out during a lot of the realm reborn storyline

hidden lotus
obsidian patio
#

if you have the aetheryte earring then you don't need the shire one

twilit arch
#

for what? blue mage?

hidden lotus
#

yep yep

twilit arch
#

Since blue mage is capped at 60

#

you really don't need the aetheryte earring and blue mage also scales pretty hard with int

obsidian patio
#

in that case it's because Aetheryte at level 60 has slightly less intelligence compared to shire.

#

IIRC

hidden lotus
#

...

#

but

obsidian patio
#

and you also lose out on an entire secondary stat with the aetheryte earring

hidden lotus
#

the comparison right there says Aetheryte has +95 INT

obsidian patio
#

that's what it would have at level 70.

hidden lotus
#

...oh

#

OH

#

I see now

obsidian patio
#

remember the earring's stats sync to your level

hidden lotus
#

Alrighty then I'll go get the shire doodle in that case

leaden ginkgo
#

I can never decide when I play this game

gusty storm
#

what does this guide mean by gladiator marauder and lancer have combos but monk has a special system

#

what does monk have

leaden ginkgo
#

Rushing MSQ or doing doh/l

humble arch
#

@gusty storm kinda new, but playing glad/marauder its combos are skills in a specific order. monk, not too sure, but there are positional requirements.

scarlet sandal
#

Every single one of monks basic attacks are positionals

#

Basically they have to be attacked from either the side or the back

gusty storm
#

that does not seem begineer friendly so i will not do that

little swift
#

Its not as hard as you think it is

#

Also every melee job has positionals

scarlet sandal
#

It's not hard really it takes a little getting used to but it's not difficult

obsidian patio
#

It's more that Monk uses a stance system instead of a combo system

humble arch
#

whats the best way to get this 24 man raid done for msq? just wait in duty finder?

obsidian patio
#

yep

#

it's a pretty quiet/dead time in NA so queue times will probably be long

scarlet sandal
#

Indeed it's almost 2 a.m.

craggy pivot
#

why i cant extract material from item i dont need? its some crafting profession level or something?

humble arch
#

ya, i figured.

obsidian patio
#

@craggy pivot the spiritbond of the item needs to be at 100% to be able to extract the materia

#

you also need to learn the ability to do so through the story

#

It happens pretty early on, I think level 20-ish in the story?

craggy pivot
#

yeah i have ability

mossy tartan
#

My connection is fine, yet my ping is.... absolutely horrendous. Feels like 500+. First time happening, what can I do?

craggy pivot
#

about spiritbond its some verydumb concept

gusty storm
#

no I will just play lancer i heard that dragoon is like the easiest class

rotund sable
#

If your ping is 500 your connection is not fine

mossy tartan
#

It’s the same speed outside ffxiv

obsidian patio
#

that sounds like an issue with your network provider

craggy pivot
#

@gusty storm its easiest cos you will lay on the ground dead most of the time

mossy tartan
#

Alright, thank you

obsidian patio
#

@craggy pivot angrymiqote

#

Please try to keep shitposty/meme advice out of this channel in particular

craggy pivot
#

ok sorry

gusty storm
#

I don’t get it

little swift
#

He's meming

obsidian patio
#

It's an old meme based on stuff about early dragoon that aren't relevant anymore

little swift
#

Its not a serious answer

gusty storm
#

is that why this video I was watching said Floor Tank

obsidian patio
#

Dragoon gear used to have lower magic defense than other classes and their jump attacks used to have a lot more frames where you couldn't move, making enemy aoes hit you much more likely if you used a jump skill in one

little swift
#

Yes

obsidian patio
#

and one of their damage buff skills used to make them take more damage

heady knot
#

im trying to find the bahamut raid atm

#

done the primal awkening quest

#

dont know where the raid is

obsidian patio
#

in your duty finder under the raid section, which should look like a red/orange version of the dungeon icon

heady knot
#

not in there tho :/

lone zephyr
#

Can you surecast through Lakshmi's Push ?

obsidian patio
#

can you take a screenshot what it looks like to you?

#

@lone zephyr unless it was changed recently, no.

heady knot
#

never mind somehow the quest is not done

#

i dont know why

#

lol

obsidian patio
#

You need to properly do the mechanic using the Vril to weaken the knockback

gusty storm
#

who is easier samurai or dragoon actually

tulip plover
#

Is there any beast tribe that better than the other or all worth unlocking?

scarlet sandal
#

I wouldn't say neither is harder than the other they just playe differently

#

dragoon however its rotation technically never really feels like it end

#

You just loop around and around while building up your jobs and you're line aoe

shrewd owl
#

raiden thrust be making me feel some kinda way

little swift
#

Dragoons rotation is a very static 10gcd loop

obsidian patio
#

@tulip plover in terms of experience each one is good for their respective expansion/level range

#

so for heavensward combat beast tribes, the Vanu Vanu and Vath give the same amount and are good for levels 50-60

tulip plover
#

Ah ok

#

I was just unlocking them just to unlock them i guess theyl come in handy?

obsidian patio
#

yeah they're pretty decent to do while in a dungeon queue

gritty oracle
#

If I summon bunny and then immediately go into gpose, will bunny vanish or stay until I exit gpose?

marble drift
#

you mean rabbit your trick mudra?

#

I believe it will only perform the finishing mudra animation without rabbit

tropic summit
#

Am I right in understanding that yo-kai medals have no use other than getting the minions and once you have them, there's no need to wear the watch?

obsidian patio
#

yep

tropic summit
#

👍 thanks

hey! how do i train my chocobo to level 20?

#

i read about onions, but theyre very expensive. how can i farm those?

You can get two for free from specific sidequests, but besides those and the marketboard, your only option is to do gardening for them, which can take a long time if you're doing it from scratch

leaden ginkgo
#

Just playing the trial version and will be getting the full game soon, do I miss out on anything by not buying Shadowbringers until I’ve finished the base game + Heavensward stuff?

obsidian patio
#

only immediate stuff you miss out is not being able to play as a Viera or Hrothgar.

#

other early stuff you miss out are being able to unlock Samurai and Red Mage at level 50, along with Dancer and Gunbreaker at level 60.

#

but besides those things and the lower level cap, you aren't really missing out on anything

leaden ginkgo
#

I’ve looked at the classes and I’m leaning towards the Dark Knight, so I should be ok to pick it up once I get closer to level cap?

For the Yokai event, do I have to be the specific class to get the legendary medal? For example; Being paladin class with Shogunyan minion to get legendary medal or can I be any class while having Shogunyan minion out?

eh you can only enter gold saucer game once a day?

#

hello guys, what classes start at gridania? im a paladin level 50 but i want to play with my friend who started in gridania

#

what are my class options?

open rivet
#

@dapper oyster which game you mean?
GATEs are every 20 minutes, and everything else is available via Duty Finder

thick elm
#

Lancer(dragoon) conjurer(white mage) archer(bard) @tender merlin

open rivet
#

@potent lava slower, but you don't have to move (& it's cheaper than teleporting)

tender merlin
#

thank you, does conjurer have any other second class option or conjurer only becomes whitemage?

raw dagger
#

Only becomes white mage

tender merlin
#

thank you, i might just stick with archer, thanks guys ❤️

raw dagger
#

I recommend picking white mage though as it'll most likely be faster matchmaking with your friend (depending on what role he picked)

#

But it's completely up to you 🙂

tender merlin
#

oh he actually is our white mage

#

also i change class by buying a bow right?

#

and then equiping it?

raw dagger
#

Yeah, if you've unlocked the class

potent lava
#

make sure to save your gear in the gear list if youre switching jobs around

tender merlin
#

okay ill just buy a bow in gridania

#

how do i do that jiku?

#

is that in the ctrl+i?

raw dagger
#

if you press 'C' to open up your character menu, at the top of your weapon you will see 'recommended gear', 'glamour plate' and 'Gear set list'

tender merlin
#

ohh okay thank you ill look into it

open rivet
#

For squadrons, which NPC DPS is the best? I tried lancer & blm so far for the 2nd dps,
and it seems pretty slow to me even with Offensive Tactics 4

tender merlin
#

first let me just look for a bow

lavish breach
#

anyone know what error this is?

raw dagger
#

@tender merlin also just an extra tip, when you add gear set you can add it onto a hotbar so you'll change class much easier and quicker

tender merlin
#

thank you!

dapper oyster
#

@dapper oyster which game you mean?
GATEs are every 20 minutes, and everything else is available via Duty Finder
@open rivet i entered the shooter one

is there any reason to pay attention about primal or masterwork gear when you can just get augemented ironwork?

@dapper oyster Yeah that's a GATE,
they are set at every 20 Minutes selected randomly from a pool.

dapper oyster
#

ah i see

#

i just get the samurai one

@dapper oyster Make sure you’re doing the Gold Saucer section of your challenge log, and participate in the fashion report!

GATEs are also your best friend for MGP. Each person has their preferences but you can get 3-5k on average per GATE if you keep at it

Air Force One & Leap of Faith are the easy ones

#

so I noticed Conjurers have a unique optional quest that seems to reward you with a unicorn mount
Do other jobs have something similar

open rivet
#

Not a quest, per se, but tanks have achievements that reward them with mounts for tanking in high-level duties

vital ruin
#

The fashion dood gave me 10k :)

10k for participating, 50k for 80+ score @vital ruin

Where can you get the ralgyr reach cloths of the alhi migho people

granite swan
#

Alphis floof is so much cuter then mine 😦

tender merlin
#

anyone currently at ramuh new gridania?

#

i was hoping to create a party for me and my friend, we're both free trial users

vital ruin
#

Is energy drain and energy siphon both worth putting on the hotbar since both share recast timer
Or do I just slot energy drain

quasi widget
#

siphon hits aoe

#

so both

#

if its one target you use drain, if not siphon

vital ruin
#

Only 40 potency AOE :/

#

Atleast drain has 100

granite swan
#

Ya but thats 100 for 1 target or 40 to 5+ targets :p

quasi widget
#

so on 3 targets it does more

vital ruin
#

Wym

quasi widget
#

40+40+40 is more than 100

vital ruin
#

But isn't it 40 per enemy

simple shore
#

Yes.....

vital ruin
#

So per enemy 40
Even tho drain does single target but it's 100

quasi widget
#

yes

granite swan
#

@vital ruin But your only doing 100 to a single enemy, meanwhile 2 other enemies, you did 0 to

quasi widget
#

so you use siphon on 3 targets or more

vital ruin
#

Someone explain potency I don't think I understand it well yet

simple shore
#

Potency is.....for lack of a simpler way of putting it, a multiplier that gets applied to your weapon damage and main stat to result in damage

#

Functionally, in this case, you may as well consider it to be a flat damage number

vital ruin
#

How much multiplied

simple shore
#

40 * 3 = 120. 120 > 100.

tender merlin
#

is fishing a good source of income?

vital ruin
#

I'll probably use something else

tender merlin
#

i mean fishing can be done afk right?

open rivet
#

you can't fish afk

fading hedge
#

is it possible to buy level 5 gear if I choose the wrong gear as a quest reward?

vital ruin
#

Just don't like the recast timer

fading hedge
#

I just started the game and I didn't know that reward gear was for different classes

simple shore
#

I dont really know what you mean by the recast timer

#

They have the same one and share it. Your position makes no sense.

vital ruin
#

Drain and siphon shares recast timer

quasi widget
#

is it possible to buy level 5 gear if I choose the wrong gear as a quest reward?
@fading hedge yes in town search for an armorer vendor

vital ruin
#

I thought I could use one and use the other to get the aetherflow

fading hedge
#

@quasi widget thank you!

tender merlin
#

ohh so fishing isnt a good source of income then

simple shore
#

No Tahmeed. You either use one, or you use the other. You cant use both.

#

That's the whole point

vital ruin
simple shore
#

You either do 100, or you do 40 * (number of targets)

leaden ginkgo
#

I'm having some difficulty

vital ruin
#

I'll take 100 for now

leaden ginkgo
#

I currently live in the EU, but I'm Japanese so I'm trying to make a JP account

simple shore
#

Eh, no helping you i guess.

quasi widget
#

@vital ruin if theres 3 or more mobs, use siphon

#

otherwise use drain

leaden ginkgo
#

but because of that, I'm just unable to

quasi widget
#

its simple

granite swan
#

Boss fights = drain ... aoeing trash = the aoe

vital ruin
#

How much health does a level 45 enemy has in general

leaden ginkgo
#

is there any way to make an account in a region that I currently don't live in?

quasi widget
#

Cant seem to find gear like Late Allagan in the market, or anything to glamour up to have that Greyfox cyber ninja aesthetic..

Are some equipment craft/drop only?
@crude marten check out the pvp gear store in wolves' den. I think the latest one you can buy is cyber ninja stuff for damage dealers

vital ruin
#

Yes
I'm using both USA and UAE@leaden ginkgo

half kraken
#

Is the fastest way to level blue mage just going to shb areas with a friend and having a friend kill the enemies?

crude marten
#

i see.. that would be tough i guess. Since i have never even gotten a pvp match going, people dont seem to play that. @quasi widget

open rivet
#

Frontline is usually full

#

specially around the time when the daily roulettes reset

granite swan
#

@half kraken I think most ppl use the lv 59s in Ahla Ilza or whatever its called?

half kraken
#

Oh I see, thanks!

leaden ginkgo
#

Yes
I'm using both USA and UAE@leaden ginkgo
@vital ruin my friend gifted me the game, but it's a canadian version. It requires me to use a canadian account which was a pain to set up and pay with Canadian Dollars, which I don't have. I want to buy the game again. How do I purchase a Japanese copy of the game

half kraken
#

Azys Lla huh

vital ruin
#

I've been waiting for 30 minutes for a frontline with zero luck

half kraken
#

So anything over 59 isn't helpful?

open rivet
#

well, daily reset is in like 5hrs @vital ruin ,
it'll be filling then

vital ruin
#

Use gift cards
@leaden ginkgo

crude marten
#

@vital ruin same here dude, i just did the queue again.. ended up with 80 mins still no match last night

vital ruin
#

80 minutesMiqoteEmbarrassed

crude marten
#

@quasi widget but these pvp rewards cant be bought in Market Board?

leaden ginkgo
#

could I just, theoretically use the steam version

#

like, change my region and buy it that way

quasi widget
#

i dont think so

open rivet
#

Steam & PC are different licenses

granite swan
#

@half kraken Now sure how all that works out, just know ive seen alot of mentions to that zone and lv 59s

quasi widget
#

for allagan stuff you can just solo erh coils I guess too

vital ruin
#

I shoulldve mentioned I'm on the PS4 so don't know about steam

leaden ginkgo
#

I don't understand what to do,,,,, I'm sorry if I'm being really annoying and bothersome rn, I just really want to get back into this game

half kraken
#

I see, thanks anyway

vital ruin
#

There should be a lot of solutions on YouTube

leaden ginkgo
#

hm

vital ruin
#

But the way I do it is
Make another account select the desired region and buy the game using gift cards

#

Idk if it's applicable for steam

leaden ginkgo
#

I haven't found any

#

and it won't let me make another account

vital ruin
#

Stores sell gift cards

leaden ginkgo
#

I tried, but I get an error when I do the email verification

vital ruin
#

Steam doesn't allow multiple accounts?

leaden ginkgo
#

no that's not what I mean

lone zephyr
#

Okay so quick question

leaden ginkgo
#

I try to make an FFXIV account

#

because I don't want to get the steam version

lone zephyr
#

Can you send multiple messages quickly in a row on a party chat?

leaden ginkgo
#

but it won't let me make an FFXIV account in a region other than where I live

lone zephyr
#

I wanna make a cute macro

quasi widget
#

yes

granite swan
#

people might not enjoy their entire chat window spammed instantly though :p

leaden ginkgo
#

yeah

raw dagger
#

Is there a way to report someone that is just swearing, griefing, being racist/rude etc or is report only for RMT?

vital ruin
#

If you make a ffxiv account in a region already it'll be locked in that account hence that region
But idk why you can't make another account 🤔

crude marten
#

@vital ruin which server/world are you in?

lone zephyr
#

people might not enjoy their entire chat window spammed instantly though :p
It's a cute cat with a wholesome message when you get raised :c

vital ruin
#

Primal

crude marten
#

Maybe because we're in the baby ones where people are just focused on getting to 80

vital ruin
#

NA

crude marten
#

and no pvp in mind whatsoever

leaden ginkgo
#

it won't let me make an account in a region outside of where I live. I live in Germany, but I want to make a new account so I can actually pay the subscriptions with my debit card and junk

#

idk what to do

vital ruin
#

Do you use the same email ID

vital ruin
#

To create another account

lavish breach
#

anybody encountered this before?

quasi widget
#

probably means the lobby servers are down

leaden ginkgo
#

oh dear, now it won't even show JP as a region

gaunt brook
#

Is cure 3's range really small or am i just dumb? it just feels like unless theyre standing directly on top of me, it does no healing unless im targetting them, meanwhile medica 2 hits the whole party even from like half a platform away

quasi widget
#

its really small

#

you can see the radius on the top right of the tooltip

gaunt brook
#

is medica 1s range better?

vital ruin
#

If you're trying to create another account with the same ID you used in the previous game you can't
Make another ID

gaunt brook
#

coz if so i might bind that instead

#

and have cure 3 as like a stack marker heal

leaden ginkgo
#

I don't even remember the id

quasi widget
#

its got bigger range but heals for much less

leaden ginkgo
#

I'm making a new acc with a new email

quasi widget
#

almost half

gaunt brook
#

ah half potency

leaden ginkgo
#

so theoretically it's like my first time making an account

gaunt brook
#

double range

vital ruin
#

I c
Try contacting support

leaden ginkgo
#

how???

gaunt brook
#

that works

#

ill keep medica 1 for stuff like Meteors

vital ruin
#

Their site should have a support section

gaunt brook
#

and cure 3 for things like stack markers

#

thank you :)

leaden ginkgo
#

idk

#

nothing there states my issue

#

whenever I do anything I get issues that nobody else has, and idk why

#

the only solution I can think of is to have someone in Japan make the account for me

granite swan
#

What browser are you tryin to do this in? Tried different ones?

leaden ginkgo
#

I've tried in chrome, firefox, and opera

#

it's an issue I've been trying to resolve for like a week and a half

granite swan
#

What about ... uh what did they name it this time ... edge?

leaden ginkgo
#

I tried there as well

#

idk

#

it either just marks my email as suspicious for 24 hours or doesn't list Japan as a country option

#

I've been wanting to play again

#

mostly because they brought back the youkai watch event

tulip plover
#

What is the highest immortal flame rank

wintry chasm
#

Captain

cedar compass
#

what spells are good for blue mage for yokai farming?

wintry chasm
#

Ram and dragon voice should be good

#

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

tulip plover
#

Ok so im second flame lieutenant when can upgrade again

wintry chasm
#

Gotta do adventurer squadron stuff

leaden ginkgo
#

this might be a better question, is there anyone in Japan who can make me an account bc it won't let me make a JP account?

simple shore
#

Missile / Launcher are pretty broken for Yokai

green raft
#

also missile, launcher, level 5 death, the look if you need increased aggro

wintry chasm
#

Are you on the Asia version of the website or something?

leaden ginkgo
#

idk

#

I don't know what I'm doing wrong

wintry chasm
#

Send link

granite swan
#

using missle in fates gets you yelled at alot tho :p

leaden ginkgo
#

well I closed it out already

#

idk what website to use

wintry chasm
#

Oh

simple shore
#

Those people should level BLU instead of complaining.

wintry chasm
#

You're just making a mogstation account?

leaden ginkgo
#

my email got marked so I can't use it for 24 hours again

#

nope

#

I need to do

#

everything

wintry chasm
#

That's not very helpful

leaden ginkgo
#

and I've been trying to for a week and a half

#

well

#

idk what I'm supposed to do

green raft
#

well use your judgment
if everyone is melting the boss anyway missile ain't gonna do much and if the boss is dying slow a missile or 2 won't kill it

opaque pewter
#

How do we open up the chocobo menu a gain?

wintry chasm
#

If you mean the mount menu that's character -> mount guide

#

If you mean the actual chocobo menu that's character -> companion

opaque pewter
#

cool thanks, both are useful.

cedar compass
#

Those people should level BLU instead of complaining.
@simple shore it took me literally 1 hr to level

tulip plover
#

When do roul reset

cedar compass
#

probably less

#

and im a noob

opaque pewter
#

All right, I'm blind, I can't see companion.

pastel marsh
#

My friend is installing the game, the launcher keeps on getting interrupted by errors when downloading, any solutions?

leaden ginkgo
#

ok so

#

when I choose my region, could I install like, a language mod?

#

not for chat but for the game

wintry chasm
#

You can change the language in game

leaden ginkgo
#

ok good

#

and I'll have to select Japan in the setup installer

#

correct?

wintry chasm
#

Well first things first I'd make you're free trial account first

#

Then download the game

leaden ginkgo
#

I did

#

it was using a different email

wintry chasm
#

Oh okay

leaden ginkgo
#

so I think it was an issue with my email

#

idk

wintry chasm
#

I don't really remember the setup installer. I doubt it'd ask you the region in it. Might just be the language

#

Also just to be sure do you remember where you got the install from?

leaden ginkgo
#

it asks for region and language

#

and I got it from the website

#

I can save the link ig

wintry chasm
#

Please

#

I just want to make sure it's the free trial launcher

leaden ginkgo
#

this

#

it is free trial

wintry chasm
#

Okay cool

leaden ginkgo
#

I'm going to pay eventually

wintry chasm
#

Sure sure

leaden ginkgo
#

I just want to get back into it

wintry chasm
#

Uhh yeah I guess set Japan then

leaden ginkgo
#

also, question

#

if it doesn't accept my card, where can I buy jp gift cards for the game

#

for the DLC and stuff

#

I'm thinking playasia so let me check
