Yep if you’re a dps

yeah im trying to level my archer
100-150 is fine
roulettes apply to leveling any combat class
ah i see thanks
Below 100 is great
is there a clear all option for crossbar? im sort of tired of manually removing them all one by one
is potd in duty finder or i have to go to the actual location to participate
Have to go to quarrymill
you have to go there and talk to the npc
South shroud
/chotbar remove # all @outer plank
okay cool thanks alot guys
do it if your dungeon queues are long
ty
yeah im still in my leveling roulette queue rn lol
Where I get Warring Triad Extremes?
anyone know the best area for a lvl 57 for farming fates to get good xp?
@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.
im just close to get the 1000 achievements fate and want to get good xp whjile im at it
1000 fate achievement*

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
leves and collectables for the most part.
For the Allagan Tombstones, when it says "Resets in 51h" what does that mean?
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.
So will I lose what I have?
no
Ok got it
I'm level 52, should I be using these things yet or saving?
@spark sail poetics, getting iron works gear will carry you for a bit
For more details
Ok so go ahead and get Ironworks gear?
or you can try to blast through to 60 for shire gear
!faq poetics
@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
Well the MSQ gear seems plenty sufficient so far
probably best to save your poetics for lv 60
ok perfect
Just upgrade as you see fit
and buy the idyllishire gear
It seems that there are an infinite number of level 50 MSQs
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
is ishgard restoration shb content?
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.
Restoration unlocks during post-HW, after you finish patch 3.3
There are about 80 level 50 “post-ARR” quests @spark sail
is there a way to get unaugmented poetics gear so that i can have an augmented and an unaugmented ring?
Not anymore
The next best you can get are the Gloam rings from the msq
kk
110 ilevel
thanks
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
Level 50 i115 rings can be bought in Ishgard, but HQ would be preferable. Check MB for prices to see.
can someone pls help me so i can inform her?
Not enough information
Which version of the game is she trying to download? What errors is she getting?
what is drgs rotation like
like a never ending loop
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?
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
@worn scaffold yep
nvm... my friend got me confused, i thought she was talking about ffxiv, but its something else @open coral sorry for the confusion
No worries
ah so its a good beginner class

i was going to ask a question, but i answered it. thank you xD
yes
you just need to be able to switch back to the class you queued up with when the queue pops
how strong is this ability really?
the potency is kinda low, and I'm not exactly sure how powerful a critical direct hit is
a critical direct hit, depending on how much crit you have, basically doubles the damage compared to a normal hit
my chimp brain is half understanding how collectables work, im stuck on how to properly use apprisal
hello
how do i change job to dragoon? i just finished lancer lv30 quest but didnt get another quest
what is your current story quest?
honoring memory of 5 years ago iirc
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
A Hero in the Making
oh then you're extremely close then, about 4 quests away from Sylph-Management which is the quest you need to complete
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
i see a lot of old ffxiv or something
I'm currently using this reddit thread and all the linked threads within it to see the story quests for ARR https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/ifjlgl/comparison_of_25_and_255_before_and_after_patch/
258 votes and 94 comments so far on Reddit
alright thanks
What are all the hildibrand related duties
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
Thought there was more, huh
Do people still queue for them
Or will I have to do em unsynced
not particularly, though I still rarely get them through trial roulette
k, thank ya
i still dont understand how bard work and i am at lvl 35 lol
why can't I interact with the collectable appraiser in idyllshire
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
i see
once you get Army's Paeon you want to use that once Mages' Ballad runs out of time
is there a way to check every crafting recipe book there is so I know what to get
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
so mage - army - wanderers?
@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
ah ok
no I mean what books are available that you can get to unlock recipes
wanderer -> mage -> army
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.
How often does regen tick?
every 3 seconds
is this true for every dot?
yep
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?
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.
that’s kinda how I have it set up I don’t go farther than 6
I’m currently playing sam
it doesn't matter if the servers full / congested, if i transfer servers i can still join a full server correct??
There are no "Congested" servers currently.
ah well like
you get me
if its not letting people in i can buypass that if im transfering right
Yes. That is unrelated to the process.
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
ok good heeeheee
Where are you tranferring anyway?
tonberry, rn im in coeurl
transferring cause im a aussie in a na server, timezones are shit
Hah, that's quite a jump
@tall lava and you're at max reputation points to get the rank up quest?
Could anyone help me out with a proper rotation for smn aoe and single target
yup im 1320/1320 and my minimap is showing the blue quest marker

might be a culling issue with a lot of people standing by them?
i dont think so? theres only about 5 other ppl here
Also at level 67
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
not answering the SMN question because im not galaxybrain enough to play SMN properly
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
@simple shore all good
That's gonna be awkward unless you go do your job quests first.
Fair, I assume you have done all the job quests?
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"???
it stopped there
That's fine
@cloud lake OK, first, let's talk pets
You have 3 pets
But you use two of them
@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.
I have the garuda one out
Garuda Egi is your AOE pet, while Ifrit Egi is your single target pet
Alright
right, but how do I continue it?
yup
In the top right, click complete
Click on the Red Q icon
and then hit the dropdown for Crystal Tower
@cloud lake Egi Assault and Egi Assault II command your pets to do attacks
and tell me what the final quest is you show as having complete
as in the bottommost one
Okay so the next quest is "Sanding It Down"
gotcha
I got those 2 right by eachother
that should come from Rammbroes over by the Sons of Saint Coinach.
So just do you Egi Assault whenever they are ready
Eastern Mor Dhona
oh yep, I see it on the map, thanks!
take note that I will withhold some info because you are lvl 67, this is just to get you into the door
where can I see all the quests so I know what to do after that?
Sounds good
I'll just DM you mine.
OK, before we even get to AOE/Single Target
too easy
Yeah I got 15 secs to spam pretty much anything till the last 3 seconds
There you go
Then I spam deathflare
Next, we have Energy Drain and Energy Siphon
They give you Aetherflow stack (drain is single target, siphon is AOE)
alright
And you just spend the Aetherflow stack on Painflare (AOE) or Fester (Single Target)
I might need to make a aoe bar and a single target bar one sec
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.
alright
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
should i make these sidequests in the beginning?
or just main quest
You will use bio and miasma occasionally, but most of the time tri disaster will do all the heavy lifting.
Alright
Bane is the ability to spread your bio/miasma from a target to nearby targets
Yup
@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
alright
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
Will do
@obsidian patio what level should i do them to?
The rest you can just read tooltips and work it out
so for aoe rotation
hi guys any tips on what dps class to play? is there any class to avoid
would it look like
!faq meta
oh
Summoner has a lot to juggle
@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
with energy siphion somewhere in there
@obsidian patio thanks!
is there like crafting gathering professions? and what are some good ones?
Would I ever use painflare?
Your AOE tools include:
Outburst, Garuda Egi and related skills, Energy Siphon, Painflare
which class would be the most fast paced?
Dreadwyrm Trance is good for both AOE and Single Target
Alright
!action Painflare
in terms of the base game classes Pugilist/Monk and Rogue/Ninja get pretty fast GCDs
okay I think I understand it
Summoner has a lot of things to juggle if you haven't notice by now XD
Yeah I get that lol
@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
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
@obsidian patio Should i be both gathering and crafting or either or?
Do Dreadwyrm Trance on the clock.
If you want to level up crafters then I do also recommend gatherers to save yourself gil
!faq balance
but for gatherers themselves you don't have to level up crafting classes to gear them up
Lazy, go here for the full guide on lv 80 Summoner
Will do
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.
@obsidian patio is crafting/gathering profitable here?
yes
though gathering by itself requires a fair amount more effort in terms of finding what's profitable
@cloud lake good luck and have fun with summoner
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?
Your 30 days come from the Starter Edition
(Complete Edition includes Starter Edition)
there are some posts with maps on reddit, but it makes no sense to me lol
Is the story implying that my character is literally 1v1'ing primals when it gives me a duty ?
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
yes you'll get it
@obsidian patio where can i find the aetheryte inside the city?
@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
@trim oriole yes you do
Oh okay because i just beat ramuh and he's basically praising me alone so i was confused
like ones with a pillar/hole in the middle, one with rubble covering where a door or two would be.
does just the room matter, or do connected rooms matter too?
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
Speaking of which are there fights that are better than ramuh because its literally my fav fight so far
@cerulean grove they're marked on the map with a light-blue crystal
its a quest
ive already attuned to like 6 different things
but i cant get it completed
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?
Queue for the highest level dungeon you're able to do, don't just keep doing the leveling roulette
oh nvm its this big ass aetheryte inside the plaza
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?
Not really
My issue is thats 4k ish for a lvl 35 dungeon. I need 50k just to finish lvl 39
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
do you do leveling routlette?
@plain python complete your grand company hunting log and do fates as needed to get the needed seals to pay for promotions
Does it matter what I grab in early quest rewards?
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?
@willow ore in terms of gear, just make sure you're grabbing stuff your class should be using
@obsidian patio I complete everything and cannot pay to promote further
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
maybe I need beyond ARR content to rank up?
@mental garnet pretty sure that is the case, although it's really weird there'd be 14 people hard queued for Ridorana
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
nvm found it
@plain python what's your current rank?
I'm at the point where it doesn't say anything, but that's really good to know, thank you.
it should say so on the tooltip
Oh, it does say something, I missed it the first glance, still thanks.
second flame lieutenent
Are you able to interact with the door near the hunting board of your GC?
yeah I can use sqadron
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
you mean minions?
if you mean minions, they're rolled on by the party as a whole
yeah
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
fairly certain both minions are chest drops
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
nothing you can really do about it besides asking them to stop
I got a cactus pet. This is what I imagine when you say Final Fantasy cactus. Sabotender is just impostors 😮
sigh, that's what i figured 😔 i wish they would add a new feature to block people from emoting certain emotes on you
do people still do Odin fate?
my character got free petting from a bunch of people when doing vista hunt 😮
is there a way to attack other than right click
auto-attack?
Tab to select targets
is there a way to hide FATE progression UI?
where can I go to buy lvl 70 crafting gear?

it makes my quest notification UI disappear
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
what phantasmagora mats sell the best?
As you get higher in level Cas you'll get abilities that are off the global cooldown, and make combat more interesting/fast paced
i guess you play chinese/korean mmo ha
Yea combat can feel a bit slow under 50 :')
@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
once i got slapped just sitting there in east shroud by the aertheryte 😦
might be possible to hide that entire element of chat, but you'd still see the animation
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?
@hidden lotus crit is your go-to meld if it can fit, after that spell speed and diret hit have pretty equal melding priority
Aaaalrighty
where can i buy lv 60-70 dol accessories
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

Anyone know how he got the top-down view of these maps?
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
Just grab the next one and you'll automatically turn it in
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?
I'm curious, what's your Character Lightning slider option set to?
yep
does anyone know how that guy got a top-down view of the potd maps?
from the link above?
I was going to say gpose, but I don't think you can get a perfect top-down view like that
Is warrior a tank or dps ?
tank
tanks in general have it pretty easy for their rotation
warrior definitely being the easiest or 2nd easiest
Lancer doesn't have a terribly difficult rotation either
Its pretty strict and consistent
For me he have
when is daily reset?
!daily
Im lvl 33 and im ok with rotation now but later will be harder
dragoon has a pretty ez rotation imo
it is very strict and u cant really mess up with it
Once you hit a high enough level your rotation is basically just swapping between the two combos
this is what i heard but dragoon feel meh playing until 70+
A lot of jobs feel meh/incomplete until the later levels.
IMO Dragoon starts to feel mostly complete around level 64.
i haven't tried samurai yet so can't feel for every melee dps
Samurai really hits its stride at 62 when you get the trait that greatly boosts kenki generation
what should I do with my first 500 poetics?
nothing
Get another 100 and you can spend it on an i130 weapon to greatly help with the base game story
get 600 to get your weapon
remember
the augment
not the other one
like i did
lol
the augement ironwork? :d
yes
you can't buy unaugmented anymore
it said lvl 130 weapon
it's all augmented now
oh that
any guid to lvl up from 70 to 80 quick?
i don't think so?
Daily Roulettes > spam highest level dungeon or trusts if queue time is too long
Pixie beast tribe quests give quite a bit of xp too
Clan Nutsy hunts are also pretty decent too while you're waiting in queue
there's quick synth, but generally only want to use that when you are mass producing and don't care about getting hq
How can I quick synth
iirc its unlocked at lv10 and you have to craft the item atleast once manually. option is at the bottom part of the window
Ah that's why

So I'm assumign manually its better do to evrrutbing for more exp?
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?
yes, as experience gain is based on how much you fill the quality bar
they're straight forward and easy enough
most people will tell you what to do in that raid
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
CT in particular is a steam roll at this point so most of the mechanics mentioned in the guide won't be seen anyway
unlike combat classes, crafters can use macros perfectly fine for automating your rotation and help for crafting lots of high-quality items
There a way to find groups who will unsync stuff?
party finder is the general go-to
Is there a way to navigate through windows with arrow keys? Gamepad has this white glove going on for selecting options
I never used it, so didn’t know how specific it got.
yep
That will be handy in future
if you grab the Crafter/gatherer role in #612757637813239808 you can enter the #doh-dol-lounge and look at the 2nd pin for leveling-orientated macros
@covert dagger numberpad by default is your selection and navigation keys a la controller style
I see, thanks!
can i start as a certain class but not go to their starting area
You mean like when you first make a new character
yea
You can only choose what's there on character creation
doomed
And whichever job it is starts in that City
You can't get your next job until like level 15 I think
monk staring area so bad ill just pick up the class later
Monk just sucks in general
But you're going to eventually go to every city so it doesn't matter too much
fr
ul'dah is just so boring but if i go there eventually i might just delete my lancer and make monk
You're limited to your own starting cities classes though until about lv15 main story
i dunno, ty tho
I'm learning monk but once it's 80 I am never touching it till 6 0 when i need to level
That doesn't mean it's bad
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 you have to interact with the terminal before getting on the elevator to use the magitek
Rook Overdrive do you use it the same time as the turret? or just before
Again your opinion of a job being unfun doesn't mean you can perpetuate it as bad objectively in the help channel
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
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
hey little question
that new game plus feature
is it ever going to cover realm reborn content
in 5.35
likely just the msq
Reddit says I still want the Shire earring, but now I'm not seeing why.. is it for the Crit and the materia slot?
if you have the aetheryte earring then you don't need the shire one
for what? blue mage?
yep yep
Since blue mage is capped at 60
you really don't need the aetheryte earring and blue mage also scales pretty hard with int
in that case it's because Aetheryte at level 60 has slightly less intelligence compared to shire.
IIRC
and you also lose out on an entire secondary stat with the aetheryte earring
the comparison right there says Aetheryte has +95 INT
that's what it would have at level 70.
remember the earring's stats sync to your level
Alrighty then I'll go get the shire doodle in that case
I can never decide when I play this game
what does this guide mean by gladiator marauder and lancer have combos but monk has a special system
what does monk have
Rushing MSQ or doing doh/l
@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.
Every single one of monks basic attacks are positionals
Basically they have to be attacked from either the side or the back
that does not seem begineer friendly so i will not do that
It's not hard really it takes a little getting used to but it's not difficult
It's more that Monk uses a stance system instead of a combo system
whats the best way to get this 24 man raid done for msq? just wait in duty finder?
Indeed it's almost 2 a.m.
why i cant extract material from item i dont need? its some crafting profession level or something?
ya, i figured.
@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?
yeah i have ability
My connection is fine, yet my ping is.... absolutely horrendous. Feels like 500+. First time happening, what can I do?
about spiritbond its some verydumb concept
no I will just play lancer i heard that dragoon is like the easiest class
If your ping is 500 your connection is not fine
that sounds like an issue with your network provider
I'd try asking for help in #technology-discussion
@gusty storm its easiest cos you will lay on the ground dead most of the time
Alright, thank you
@craggy pivot 
Please try to keep shitposty/meme advice out of this channel in particular
ok sorry
He's meming
It's an old meme based on stuff about early dragoon that aren't relevant anymore
Its not a serious answer
is that why this video I was watching said Floor Tank
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
Yes
and one of their damage buff skills used to make them take more damage
im trying to find the bahamut raid atm
done the primal awkening quest
dont know where the raid is
in your duty finder under the raid section, which should look like a red/orange version of the dungeon icon
not in there tho :/
Can you surecast through Lakshmi's Push ?
can you take a screenshot what it looks like to you?
@lone zephyr unless it was changed recently, no.
You need to properly do the mechanic using the Vril to weaken the knockback
who is easier samurai or dragoon actually
Is there any beast tribe that better than the other or all worth unlocking?
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
raiden thrust be making me feel some kinda way
Dragoons rotation is a very static 10gcd loop
@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
yeah they're pretty decent to do while in a dungeon queue
If I summon bunny and then immediately go into gpose, will bunny vanish or stay until I exit gpose?
you mean rabbit your trick mudra?
I believe it will only perform the finishing mudra animation without rabbit
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?
yep
👍 thanks

does any of you have mouse wheel side buttons? if you do, how can you assign them to keybinds in game? nothing happens when I press it
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
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?
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
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?
I just left in between a duty and started the app why am I still in the duty
@leaden ginkgo yep!
@vital ruin you mean the ffxiv companion app? or something else?
Thanks a lot @obsidian patio
The game
is there a timer on when daily tribe quest reset
!daily
I left in between a duty and closed the game then started the game and I was in the duty with the same people
If all you did was log out then it doesn't automatically take you out of the duty
You have to actually leave through the duty finder menu to leave the instance
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?
just need the minion
Thanks!
and the minion has to be in the correct zone
Thanks for the info! 🙂
whats the speed on chocobo porter? is the same as base speed ground mounts?
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?
@dapper oyster which game you mean?
GATEs are every 20 minutes, and everything else is available via Duty Finder
Lancer(dragoon) conjurer(white mage) archer(bard) @tender merlin
@potent lava slower, but you don't have to move (& it's cheaper than teleporting)
thank you, does conjurer have any other second class option or conjurer only becomes whitemage?
Only becomes white mage
thank you, i might just stick with archer, thanks guys ❤️
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 🙂
oh he actually is our white mage
also i change class by buying a bow right?
and then equiping it?
Yeah, if you've unlocked the class
make sure to save your gear in the gear list if youre switching jobs around
okay ill just buy a bow in gridania
how do i do that jiku?
is that in the ctrl+i?
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'
ohh okay thank you ill look into it
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
first let me just look for a bow
anyone know what error this is?
@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
thank you!
@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.
Talk to one of the GATE NPCs to see what the next one is - with the option to teleport there
A friend of mine wants to join the game.. on my server Spriggan im Chaos..
It has been locked for new chars for 2 days now.. any idea why and how he could enter?
wait til nighttime and try then
or like, in the middle of the week
when nobody's playing
Its just locked cuz world full?
yup
Night time what timezone? Just EU?
since spriggan is on the EU DC, yeah
you can check w/o having the game open on https://eu.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/worldstatus/
Alrighty thanks

@plain python Primal Ring would be nice since you cant have 2 augmented
Shadowbringers should be renamed to 50 Shades of Purple
@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
Not a quest, per se, but tanks have achievements that reward them with mounts for tanking in high-level duties
The fashion dood gave me 10k :)
10k for participating, 50k for 80+ score @vital ruin
What's a good blue mage guide?
Mine was only 78 
You can probably get the 2 more from dyeing
Dye what color
you can check by going to #kupo-bot-spam and typing !fr
Theres no way to get Obsidian Carbuncle glam is there? :p
I c ty
not yet Maethil
rip this client
Darn, oh well :p
theres no maintenance or anything right? keep getting this error 2002 lobby not connected
Where can you get the ralgyr reach cloths of the alhi migho people
Alphis floof is so much cuter then mine 😦
anyone currently at ramuh new gridania?
i was hoping to create a party for me and my friend, we're both free trial users
Is energy drain and energy siphon both worth putting on the hotbar since both share recast timer
Or do I just slot energy drain
Ya but thats 100 for 1 target or 40 to 5+ targets :p
so on 3 targets it does more
Wym
40+40+40 is more than 100
But isn't it 40 per enemy
Yes.....
So per enemy 40
Even tho drain does single target but it's 100
yes
@vital ruin But your only doing 100 to a single enemy, meanwhile 2 other enemies, you did 0 to
so you use siphon on 3 targets or more
Someone explain potency I don't think I understand it well yet
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
How much multiplied
40 * 3 = 120. 120 > 100.
is fishing a good source of income?
I'll probably use something else
i mean fishing can be done afk right?
you can't fish afk
is it possible to buy level 5 gear if I choose the wrong gear as a quest reward?
Just don't like the recast timer
I just started the game and I didn't know that reward gear was for different classes
I dont really know what you mean by the recast timer
They have the same one and share it. Your position makes no sense.
Drain and siphon shares recast timer
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
I thought I could use one and use the other to get the aetherflow
@quasi widget thank you!
ohh so fishing isnt a good source of income then
No Tahmeed. You either use one, or you use the other. You cant use both.
That's the whole point

You either do 100, or you do 40 * (number of targets)
I'm having some difficulty
I'll take 100 for now
I currently live in the EU, but I'm Japanese so I'm trying to make a JP account
Eh, no helping you i guess.
but because of that, I'm just unable to
its simple
Boss fights = drain ... aoeing trash = the aoe
How much health does a level 45 enemy has in general
is there any way to make an account in a region that I currently don't live in?
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
Yes
I'm using both USA and UAE@leaden ginkgo
Is the fastest way to level blue mage just going to shb areas with a friend and having a friend kill the enemies?
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
@half kraken I think most ppl use the lv 59s in Ahla Ilza or whatever its called?
Oh I see, thanks!
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
Azys Lla huh
I've been waiting for 30 minutes for a frontline with zero luck
So anything over 59 isn't helpful?
well, daily reset is in like 5hrs @vital ruin ,
it'll be filling then
Use gift cards
@leaden ginkgo
@vital ruin same here dude, i just did the queue again.. ended up with 80 mins still no match last night
80 minutes
@quasi widget but these pvp rewards cant be bought in Market Board?
could I just, theoretically use the steam version
like, change my region and buy it that way
i dont think so
Steam & PC are different licenses
@half kraken Now sure how all that works out, just know ive seen alot of mentions to that zone and lv 59s
for allagan stuff you can just solo erh coils I guess too
I shoulldve mentioned I'm on the PS4 so don't know about steam
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
I see, thanks anyway
There should be a lot of solutions on YouTube
hm
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
Stores sell gift cards
I tried, but I get an error when I do the email verification
Steam doesn't allow multiple accounts?
no that's not what I mean
Okay so quick question
Can you send multiple messages quickly in a row on a party chat?
but it won't let me make an FFXIV account in a region other than where I live
I wanna make a cute macro
yes
people might not enjoy their entire chat window spammed instantly though :p
yeah
Is there a way to report someone that is just swearing, griefing, being racist/rude etc or is report only for RMT?
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 🤔
@vital ruin which server/world are you in?
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
Primal
Maybe because we're in the baby ones where people are just focused on getting to 80
NA
and no pvp in mind whatsoever
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
Do you use the same email ID
To create another account
anybody encountered this before?
probably means the lobby servers are down
oh dear, now it won't even show JP as a region
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
is medica 1s range better?
If you're trying to create another account with the same ID you used in the previous game you can't
Make another ID
I don't even remember the id
its got bigger range but heals for much less
I'm making a new acc with a new email
almost half
ah half potency
so theoretically it's like my first time making an account
double range
I c
Try contacting support
how???
Their site should have a support section
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
What browser are you tryin to do this in? Tried different ones?
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
What about ... uh what did they name it this time ... edge?
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
What is the highest immortal flame rank
Captain
what spells are good for blue mage for yokai farming?
Ok so im second flame lieutenant when can upgrade again
Gotta do adventurer squadron stuff
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?
Missile / Launcher are pretty broken for Yokai
also missile, launcher, level 5 death, the look if you need increased aggro
Are you on the Asia version of the website or something?
Send link
using missle in fates gets you yelled at alot tho :p
Oh
Those people should level BLU instead of complaining.
You're just making a mogstation account?
my email got marked so I can't use it for 24 hours again
nope
I need to do
everything
That's not very helpful
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
How do we open up the chocobo menu a gain?
If you mean the mount menu that's character -> mount guide
If you mean the actual chocobo menu that's character -> companion
cool thanks, both are useful.
Those people should level BLU instead of complaining.
@simple shore it took me literally 1 hr to level
When do roul reset
All right, I'm blind, I can't see companion.
is this the website I should be using? https://www.finalfantasyxiv.com/freetrial/#description1_3?utm_source=pr2_product&utm_medium=ft_ban&utm_campaign=jp_freetrial
nvm got it
anything I should aim next using poetics? I got my augument ironwork weapon
There is no blood/gore option, yeah?
I find the scenes lack oomph without these, imho
My friend is installing the game, the launcher keeps on getting interrupted by errors when downloading, any solutions?
ok so
when I choose my region, could I install like, a language mod?
not for chat but for the game
You can change the language in game
Well first things first I'd make you're free trial account first
Then download the game
Oh okay
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?
it asks for region and language
and I got it from the website
I can save the link ig
this
it is free trial
Okay cool
I'm going to pay eventually
Sure sure
I just want to get back into it
Uhh yeah I guess set Japan then
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
