because i haven't unlock'd

#

yeah

remote lintel
#

and that

sage remnant
#

hey guys is there a way to have different controls for when in combat?

#

like i want the default A and D movement binding, but when in combat i want them to turn into strafing

azure frost
#

Any tips on how best to set up party finder? Want to keep doing EX primals but duty finder is unreliable

slate arrow
#

don't do extremes via duty finder

remote lintel
#

you dont queue for EX or savage

slate arrow
#

ever

halcyon glen
#

So to answer the actual question

#

Just hit recruit members and then put up settings you need!

warped nest
#

... I dunno, play with the settings

#

Right?

halcyon glen
#

If you want to do them synced, mention that

remote lintel
#

might be hard to find people to do synced primals

halcyon glen
#

As people will assume unsynced most of the time for old primals

warped nest
#

Just check the setting, see what does what, and go from there

wispy parcel
#

more like, it may take several hours cause no one wants to synch old as hell endgame content

thorny bluff
#

Is there any significant thing I have to look out for if I start on an entry sub with plans to move to standard whenever I feel like making a toon?

remote lintel
#

entry has 8 characters

thorny bluff
#

It says moving to standard will charge me on a prorated basis, but I'm not sure what that means

wispy parcel
#

Monthly

warped nest
#

Entry has 8, with the restriction that they cannot be on the same world

#

Almost everyone goes entry

wispy parcel
#

there is honestly no reason to move to a standard sub

warped nest
#

There isn't a lot of reason to run alt characters on XIV

#

Unless you have too much time and don't want to play anything else

#

(even then you could have just grind ex or savage with that one character...)

wispy parcel
#

I know its off topic but I hate that wow players call their characters toons

azure frost
#

Guess I'm just being unlucky. I haven't had much of a problem with duty finder. Sure, like, it probably is unreliable from an effectiveness standpoint, but i kinda just like learning the fights. Me and a friend got Titan down like that, and no one else no what we were doing :^)

sage remnant
#

which primal are you trying to do? you can solo earlier ones too

remote lintel
#

titan ex?

#

or titan hard

sage remnant
#

i was soloing titan ex at 70

warped nest
#

Titan Hard or Titan EX?

azure frost
#

titan ex?
@remote lintel ex

wise dock
#

A sub allows you to access the expansions, retainers, the marketboard,FC's, housing savage,and a few other things. Its well worth it to upgrade at one point.

sharp spire
#

how much does name change cost

remote lintel
#

thats because they were all mentors @azure frost

patent citrus
#

shouldnt you learn the fight with your statics?

remote lintel
#

not everyone has one

azure frost
#

Static?

remote lintel
#

@sharp spire 10 usd

#

a group of people that do endgame content together

#

or any hard content

sharp spire
#

that sucks

#

it's free in other AAA games

warped nest
#

This is not other AAA games

wispy parcel
#

I dont even know if I'd call XIV AAA

thorny bluff
#

Is it? I don't remember that being a thing in like WoW or something.

patent citrus
#

you mean name change?

granite swan
#

I cant think of any game that had a free name change, unless it was something against ToS

sharp spire
#

not mmo

#

division, blizzard

faint flare
#

You cant compare non mmos vs mmos

sharp spire
#

uhm for name change price yeah

remote lintel
#

those are usernames

faint flare
#

No because they function and make money differently

#

No MMO has free name change

sharp spire
#

yeah they charge less and dont have subs

patent citrus
#

i thoguht so

remote lintel
#

because theyre not mmos

patent citrus
#

seems delusional statement lol

sharp spire
#

not really

halcyon oyster
#

What game are you referring to that had free name changes?

remote lintel
#

paying a subscription fee is not unusual for mmos

sharp spire
#

usernames shouldnt even be changeable

warped nest
#

nickname change for your Pokémon is free

wispy parcel
#

Most (Good) MMO's require a sub

polar hound
#

this seems redundant.

azure frost
#

or any hard content
@remote lintel ah i don't really have a static. First time playing this. Due to the weird nature of the game's progression i haven't felt much inclined to branch out besides my one friend who is at heavensward's endgame

remote lintel
#

whats weird about it

#

its super linear

keen fable
#

the rising only has the minion and the item, no glamour right

faint flare
#

Correct

remote lintel
#

correct

keen fable
#

cool thank you :3

wispy parcel
#

XIV is more of a JRPG first before an MMO. I felt no need to make friends in XIV until I hit endgame back when Stormblood was new

faint flare
#

And the game for the toybox

azure frost
#

Weird in the sense it's very.....selfish? That's probably not really the word I'm looking for. I've been told the philosphy behind the game is FF first, MMO second

remote lintel
#

yes

#

its very story heavy

warped nest
#

The game has decent match making stuff for all the crucial contents

#

Or would you like to wait days and nights for 3 other players who also needed Satasha like you do? Or manual recruit people to help out.

#

Or just let high level player sync down and get your through it?

sharp spire
#

well the msq experience is definitely very MMO

#

slow, trivial errands

remote lintel
#

because the game starts slow

warped nest
#

That's the RPG part

tranquil valve
#

A lot of new players at the moment. I imagine a lot of people need sastasha lol.

warped nest
#

Of MMORPG

wispy parcel
#

Game's story doesnt really pick up until near HW content

keen fable
#

I haven't gotten around to my GNB yet, but I should get it tonight - from what I've done in the raids & dungeons starting at 50, seems like there's a lot tanks need to know, that I don't know right now. Is it a bad idea to hop in on my gnb?

azure frost
#

Not really saying that it's necessarily bad and i understand the fact that old endgame won't be very common in parties

little swift
#

!faq tankguide @keen fable

zinc orbitBOT
warped nest
#

Just read tooltips and practice your GNB on a striking dummy first

#

Don't queue into a dungeon, and use dungeon to practice

wispy parcel
#

Old content is always run thanks to roulettes, just not savage and EX

glad comet
#

Don't jump into a dungeon immediately, practice on a training dummy first @keen fable

keen fable
#

I meant, for the mechanics of the dungeons

#

Not necessarily the rotation

glad comet
#

learn the class skills first

thorny bluff
#

Are you allowed to choose between the characters you've made when you first sub to an entry sub?

glad comet
#

you wont know the mechanics for tanking in a dungeon without knowing what your skills are

warped nest
#

I meant, for the mechanics of the dungeons
@keen fable does it hurt when you don't move out? Yes: move out next time.

halcyon oyster
#

Only the first character made on each world. @thorny bluff

azure frost
#

(Though i do feel a little sad that I'll probably struggle to get a "genuine" version of some fights when playing them.)

keen fable
#

@warped nest fair enough. thank you lol

granite swan
#

Anyway to make the Aether Compass show you the Nearest Current instead of going down a list? Ive had to backtrack a bit in 3 zones now >.>

thorny bluff
#

Oh, wow. That's unfortunate. Is there a way to delete a character outside of the game?

#

I made a dummy character just to test my specs before I made a real one

remote lintel
#

im confused by your question

#

what do you mean choose

warped nest
#

@keen fable The only big differences between tank and DPS in a dungeon:

  • tank need to manage their defensive cooldown very proactively when they are pulling mobs
remote lintel
#

theres a character select screen

azure frost
#

What's the quill icon on party finder?

halcyon oyster
#

If you have an entry level sub, you're limited to one character per world, but you can make more than that on the trial, I think.

warped nest
#
  • tank need to keep an eye out on boss mechanics, and try to make it easier for their party member to reposition if possible (move the boss around, bait certain boss attack etc)
thorny bluff
#

The entry sub only allows one character to be playable on a world, ad I made 2 during the free 30 days after I bought the game.

#

@remote lintel

warped nest
#

Everything else is pretty much the same, kill shit, don't stand in AOE

remote lintel
#

oh i see

halcyon oyster
#

So the ones not in the first position become unchooseable.

remote lintel
#

then you just delete the one you dont want

wispy parcel
#

theres no real reason to have more then one character

#

other than RP

#

since everything can be done on one character, since this is an FF game

halcyon oyster
#

Yea, you can delete the dummy character in the first position, I believe.

thorny bluff
#

Well, I was asking if I could do that besides the game, as I didn't want it to risk it designating my level 1 generichyurdotjpeg.

wise dock
#

As a tank, please dont spin a boss around or point the boss directly at the party.

warped nest
#

Those should be covered in the tank guide faq

patent citrus
#

btw as a tank, i should dodge aoe as well right? 🤔

warped nest
#

Yes

patent citrus
#

that aspect im also confused

remote lintel
#

@thorny bluff before you sub delete the character

polar hound
#

tanking doesnt mean take avoidable damage

warped nest
#

Just try to dodge it without moving the boss too much

patent citrus
#

ah yeah, im afraid when there's monk in my party haha

little swift
#

You dont always have to strafe left/right to dodge mechanics

thorny bluff
#

@remote lintel is there a place on the site I can do that? I'm not seeing an option.

patent citrus
#

sometimes i just tank it

little swift
#

Going forward/away is just as good @patent citrus

patent citrus
#

i mean the damage

warped nest
#

Monk losing some potency for 2 skills is better than you dying and causing a wipe

keen fable
#

is there something worthwile i can spend seals on before i reach the rank of buying glamour prisms? i haven't completed the level 44 dungeon yet, but I need it to rank up, and i'm capped on seals. i keep losing potential seals cause i'm always capped

patent citrus

i get ventures

Ventures

Retainer Guide

What is a retainer?
A retainer is a private NPC that will act as a personal bank for the player, holding up to 175 different items, that can be summoned to any of the Summoning Bells around the world. Retainers also act as your means to sell on the Market Board.

How to unlock a retainer
First, you must complete the quest The Scions of the Seventh Dawn then go to speak to any of the Retainer Vocates located in the market district of any of the major cities.

What are Retainer Ventures?
Ventures are the means to send out your retainers on missions to bring back items for you and can be unlocked by completing the quest 'An Ill-conceived Venture' (Ul’Dahn), (Gridania), (Limsa Lominsa)

lone zephyr
#

Do the HW job quests unlock right after the "coming to ishgard" quest?

warped nest
#

Yes

#

Once you are inside Ishgard

#

You can start grabbing quests

wise dock
#

Ventures are used for that. They can sometimes get you really good stuff or in some cases minions/mounts. Mostly it will just be crafting materials.

halcyon oyster
#

@thorny bluff Right click your character to delete them.

warped nest
#

Oh, you meant the lvl 50-60 job quests for other jobs

wise dock
#

I think it also depends on where you send them as well.

warped nest
#

You didn't meant the Heavensward Expansion jobs

thorny bluff
#

@halcyon oyster I was saying on the site. I cannot log until I sub

keen fable
#

cool

#

and then as far as poetics, if i don't need the gear, anything else i can grab?

halcyon oyster
#

Wait, so what's the issue?

remote lintel
#

delete them on the char slecet screen

thorny bluff
#

I cannot access the screen because I don't have a sub that will lock me into the character I'm deletingso it doesn't do that exact thign

remote lintel
#

you're on the free trial?

thorny bluff
#

no, I bought the game, but am buying the sub for the first time

halcyon oyster
#

Ok, well, after you do that, you don't mind deleting those test characters, right?

raven sage
#

You can still just sub and delete the character though

rare comet
#

if you haven't gotten to heavensward on a new character, can you not fly in the base zones?

wispy parcel
#

You can only fly in ARR zones if you beat the 2.0 MSQ

#

per character

rare comet
#

gotcha

#

msq or post msq as well?

wispy parcel
#

no just 2.0

spice river
#

Hey guys is it possible to be do the hardest content with a controller or will I be limited?

rare comet
#

got it, ty!

thorny bluff
#

Alright, thanks for the answers everyone. I hope deleting the character won't keep my character inactive.

keen fable
#

How do I send a retainer on a venture?

wispy parcel
#

the best static in the game all uses controller

#

its all personal preference

spice river
#

Static?

wispy parcel
#

group of people who run savage and ultimate content together

remote lintel
#

and ex

spice river
#

Ahhh ok cool

thorny bluff
#

@keen fable I think there's a quest you need to get after you get the retainer system in order to send them on stuff.

spice river
#

Was worried being on ps4 would make me unfavorable or something

warped nest
#

No

remote lintel
#

platform doesn't matter

woeful halo
#

What are fellowships and how do I interact with them?

thorny bluff
#

@keen fable yeah, looks like each major city has the quest "an ill concieved venture" that you must complete. You need a bit of MSq progress to unlock it, though.

twilit arch
#

fellowships are like bulletin boards @woeful halo

elder sinew
#

Is there an LFG channel in this discord? cant see it if so

violet star
#

up to which crafting materia grade can I unmeld with 100% chance?

patent citrus
#

JP Games mostly about console

wispy parcel
#

majority of the playerbase in general is on console

tropic willow
#

this is very likely a dumb question, but here we go. I'm getting back into the game after about a 4 year hiatus. I'd like to make a new character, but I'm not good at it. That being said, I found a blog post with someone's character I love the look of.

Is there any way for me to make a character based off of a character profile photo?

#

I doubt that's a thing but gotta ask!

wispy parcel
#

the best you could do is try to copy that character. I dont think you can just download someone elses character profile

twilit arch

6, 7/8 are 80/40% @violet star

cold crescent
#

is there any fast-ish way to get allied seals?

oak ice
#

BLU stuff

#

Roaming ARR areas and taking down A ranks also works

#

Assuming those haven't been killed already

#

Weekly B rank hunt could also work

cold crescent
#

ive got a level 60 blu mage

#

which blu mage activities are good for seals?

strange coral
#

Masked carnival

cold crescent
#

oh boy my fav lol

#

thats the best method?

strange coral
#

You get seals for each stage you complete the first time. Then there are weekly challenge stages

cold crescent
#

aight

strange coral
#

Fastest would probably be an arr hunt train, but I don't know if anyone still does that

unborn dock
#

how do you redeem the first mount for the youkai event after obtaining all of the medals?

cold crescent
#

ive just ound the masked carnivale stuff to be pretty challenging, but i might also just be kinda baddd

oak ice
#

The weekly challenges gives quite a bit

cold crescent
#

found

oak ice
#

You go to Jonathas in Gridania for the mounts

#

Some of them can be really fucking hard

#

Especially when you do the achievements, too

warped nest
#

There are guides on YouTube for those

#

So if you just can't figure out a good way to beat the BLU challenge

#

You can always check those out

cold crescent
#

got it tyty

#

been getting my ass kicked by the siegfried boss fight

lone zephyr
#

I can't find the heavenward whm class

#

I already looked it up

cold crescent
#

phase 1 is ez and phase 2 i can manage but goddamn phase 3 is a nightmare lol

oak ice
#

Only way I could beat stage 30 was to save burst for the fire weak knight or they would send the Ascalon AoE to cover the only safe spot during the ice

When did Yshitola become blind? Or is she blind? She still says things like it’s nice to see you

||She's blind but she uses her Aether to see the Aether of things around her||

Im at the right coordinate at the right place
@lone zephyr do you mean the WHM job quests?

lone zephyr
#

Yeah

#

I just unlocked heavensward

warped nest
#

On the top left of your screen, by default, there is a Main Scenario Tracker UI with msq icon

#

Do you see it?

oak ice
#

They should show up under your MSQ header

lone zephyr
#

Yea

warped nest
#

Beneath it is an exclamation mark

#

That's your job quest for your current equipped job

lone zephyr
#

Oh thank you so much

warped nest
#

If you don't see an exclamation mark, it means you got nothing for the moment

#

Have fun

@gloomy mortar ||She became blind after she used the Flow spell and you used the elementals to drag her out of the lifestream. Like Vinyl said, she uses Aether to sense people and things around her||

manic flare
#

what are quests in the crystal tower series?

faint flare
#

It starts with Legacy of Allag

manic flare
#

i did that one

faint flare
#

Then continues down that line

oak ice
#

It starts with Legacy of Allag in Mor Dhona

manic flare
#

is there more?

faint flare
#

Yes

#

Alot more

manic flare
#

where do i find the quest giver?

oak ice
#

Yes, all the way until Light of Hope

manic flare
#

after legacy of allag

faint flare
#

The guy you ended at has it

manic flare
#

so go back to rammbroes

#

or w/e his name is?

faint flare
#

Yes

#

Its one long chain

#

damn

#

is there any good rewards?

oak ice
#

Contains 3 24-man raids

faint flare
#

Opens alliance raid roulette

#

Which is very good for xp

oak ice
#

So a bunch of minions, glam, a whole queue for massive exp

#

And probably lots of dying to your first few runs of them

#

:)

#

excuse me, where do i go to view my achievements? i went to jonathas and i couldn't find the whisper mount. should i look elsewhere?

Choose accept achievement rewards and it should be in the quest section

polar hound
faint flare
#

For the mouny

tranquil valve
#

Make sure you've used all the minions. Just having them in your inventory doesn't count if I remember.

i've used them all! i'm really sorry, i'm still trying to get used to the ui and everything.

#

i found i! thank you. apologies again. i wasn't being thorough enough.

I know that for a standard account that allows you to have up to eight characters per world is $14.99 a months. Is there any tax or anything added to that in the United States?

how can you tell difference between emotes needed to do?

#

also ty

faint flare
#

You look in the sightseeing log

calm phoenix
#

I bet most of you have that type of account but still are ignoring the question that I asked

oak ice
#

You can't, but like 97% of them is /lookout lol

polar hound
#

theyre usually kinda obvious like vista infront of a statue

#

but if not theyve been out awhile, im sure theres a sightseeing log guide/w.e

oak ice
#

I have that account but not in the US, I doubt there's extra tax on top, though

obsidian patio
#

@calm phoenix no tax for subscription, at least that I’m aware of.

polar hound
#

Moltres, all day people have been helping you, you wait 1-2 mins before guilting into an answer ,please. some of us dont know the answer and wait for someone who does.

calm phoenix
#

Are there any mounts similar to Aiatar (boss from Brayflox Longstop)?

polar hound
#

there are a couple dragon mounts, not sure about that particular model though

obsidian patio
#

There’s a dragon mount from the story, but none that use his type of model

No super chonky dragons

Oh well, that dungeon is full of monsters that I liked and thought that the boss would have better odds of being a mount, oh well

#

Is it possible to change from an entry sub to a regular sub or do I just have to wait out the sub?

frail plume
#

is there any way to increase chances of finding maps? i mined for hours today and didn't find any

wispy parcel
#

You can change the sub as soon as you want, but there isnt much of a point

opaque pewter
#

Okay, so how do I do it and why to your second half to your response.

obsidian patio
#

@frail plume not sure if accurate, I don’t think you can find maps in nodes until you do the quest that lets you use them

frail plume
#

yeah i did the quest

#

i've only found one treasure map outside the quest

obsidian patio
#

What map are you going for and what level nodes are you mining?

wispy parcel
#

You have to go to mogstation and just go to manage your subsciption you can change it there

obsidian patio
#

They start randomly spawning in nodes at 40 and above

remote lintel
#

@frail plume you don't need more than 8 characters really

frail plume
#

ohhh i was mining at like the nodes near copperbell

wispy parcel
#

ANd there isnt much of a point cause you can already make 8 characters on entry sub

remote lintel
#

and entry is cheaper

frail plume
#

alright thank you, wynne

wispy parcel
#

and you can do everything on one character regardless

obsidian patio
#

Basically the recommended level of a map tells you the node they appear in

opaque pewter
#

I have other reasons besides those two.

#

**Timeworn Zonureskin Map** **:** Miscellany : ilvl 40 [Unique]

*This bottle is holding what appears to be a timeworn zonureskin map.

※Use the action Decipher to extract the map and examine its contents.
※Level 80 full party (eight players) recommended.*

frail plume
#

i see

obsidian patio
#

So this spawns in level 80 nodes

frail plume
#

i see

#

is there a database i can look at recommended map levels?

keen fable
#

does your retainer's class matter?

faint flare
#

Somewhat yes

#

Gatherers have their own pool

#

Combats share a pool

obsidian patio
#

In terms of combat classes, it just decides what gear they can wear

faint flare
#

And retainers cant be higher level than you on the job

keen fable
#

So, having one retainer being a combat and one being a gatherer would work best?

faint flare
#

Usually

obsidian patio
#

@frail plume garland tools is the general database for a lot of resources. Just search for the keyword “timeworn”

frail plume
#

thank you

obsidian patio
#

@opaque pewter you may need to click the “cancel subscription” button (NOT CANCEL SERVICE ACCOUNT) and then set the sub back up as standard

#

How does one get to "The Prima Vista Tiring Room" ?

obsidian patio
#

In the Kugane airship landing or a npc near the npc that would take you in there

#

How do i go to falcon's nest?

opaque pewter
#

Thanks for an actual answer Wynne. 😄

lone zephyr
#

The only way to enter is closed

#

Please don't tell me MSQ

obsidian patio
#

@lone zephyr talk to the chocobokeep near the MCH guild to ride there

lone zephyr
#

O

obsidian patio
#

If they can’t then you need to do more story

lone zephyr
#

Yeah they can't

Welp time to level scholar instead of doing MSQ

So I hit level 30 on my Rogue. What else do I have to do to unlock Ninja class?

#

I'm a free trial player currently

obsidian patio
#

!faq job

zinc orbitBOT
#
How do I unlock my job?

To unlock your class' job you need to be level 30, complete all of your class quests and the main scenario quest 'Sylph Management' (lvl 20 quest) to be able to pick up your job unlock quest. Once you've done the initial unlock quest, you will be given a soul crystal which you must equip to become your class' job.

Oh thanks!

#

Ah that makes sense

#

Once I assign a venture, I don't need to tell them to go do it right?

wispy parcel
#

once its assigned they start

keen fable
#

Do I just recall them when they're done?

manic flare
#

is it practical to do wanderer's palace (hard) with adventurer squadrons?

#

or does the boss mechanics make it impossible for the AI to do

#

or should i ask, which dungeons are actually practical to do with squadrons

wispy parcel
#

you just go to the venture option once their done

#

and you get the rewards

#

same place you assign the ventures

oak ice
#

You get a text notification that the venture is complete

#

Assuming you're online when it finishes

manic flare
#

wait, so you are saying u dont actually need to physically run the dungeons with the squadron?

#

to get the exp (for the player) and rewards?

obsidian patio
#

They’re talking about retainers, not squadron

granite swan
#

They are talkin about something different

#

you just go to the venture option once their done

Anyone know if you still get exp from frontlines even if you did the roulette already?

obsidian patio
#

From what I heard about Wanderer’s Hard, just make sure your healer doesn’t have a damage strategy active so they deal with the doom

#

And use the recall button to move the tank to you for the totems

#

You may need to bring along potions as a just-in-case

anyone got any tips for the siegfried boss fight for blu mages?

phase 1 is easy and phase 2 is doable but phase 3 is just overwhelming for me

#

Use elemental spells that the clones are weak to to kill them quick. With just the main guy left, it's easy. He just reuses attacks from the first two phases.

You can only do 12 total deliveries a week

So if you did 6 for Kai-Shirr and 6 for Ehll Tou then you can’t do anymore that week

how do i see my squadron rank?
You mean the levels of your squadron members?

well i want to get commaand missions

but it says i cant do so until i reach squadron rank 2

wintry chasm

Oh I see

#

There should be a flagged mission somewhere you can send your guys on

#

Doing the flagged mission will rank them up

#

But you're going to need to pass all 3 attribute requirements

They need to be Lv 20 before you can get the mission to unlock Command Missions

yeah they are past level 20

but it says i will fail the flagged mission

gritty oracle
#

Check to see what stat do you have over the requirement and decrease that through training.

wintry chasm
#

Also swapping classes helps

#

Since class determines stats as well on a bigger scale

manic flare
#

@wintry chasm does that hurt their stat growth if t hey were npcs?

#

since if i want a certain npc to be a powerful mage

#

if he gains levels as an archer

#

wouldn't that decrease his magic potential?

wintry chasm
#

No

manic flare
#

or is that not how it works?

gusty storm
#

what kind of job would you describe blm as

wintry chasm
#

That's not how that works

gritty oracle
#

Also squadrons can't take jobs.

wintry chasm
#

@gusty storm big damage, wants to stay as still as possible, rotation changes a lot whole leveling

manic flare
#

@wintry chasm so it's ok to change class willy nilly with no penalty?

wintry chasm
#

Also big explosions

#

Right Snack

gritty oracle
#

Stay in one place and make your enemies explode. Also it's a huge mess at low levels.

manic flare
#

ok so this isn't like tactics ogre then

gusty storm
#

is it like

wintry chasm
#

Really it's better than swapping classes on your character since the different classes don't level independently

gusty storm
#

more methodical then Hmm

manic flare
#

than tactics ogre?

#

tactics ogre is the most methodical game i know

#

u have to prepare their class change years in advance

wintry chasm
#

Not you Snack

gritty oracle
#

Imagine Megumin but after you use up your mana, you switch to ice mode and refill it. Switch back to fire, rinse and repeat.

manic flare
#

@wintry chasm really? so i change my level 70 summoner to saay, conjurer, the levels don't reset?

wintry chasm
#

For your squadron members

#

Not for you

#

If you want to unlock conjurer then that's starting at level 1

#

Of course you can swap back to level 70 summoner when you want

#

But for squadron members changing their class just changes their class. They keep their level regardless

manic flare
#

@wintry chasm so if i change cecily (squad member who is level 21) from conjurer to arcanist, she wouuld be back at level 1?

wintry chasm
#

No

#

She'd be 21

manic flare
#

but she would have the stats of an arcanist as if she was an arcanist from level 1 since the beginning?

wintry chasm
#

No

manic flare
#

damn this is confusing

wintry chasm
#

There is 0 penalty

#

It's very straightforward

#

You're ONLY changing their class

#

And thus stat distribution

#

For example healers have more of the uhh, blue stat, whatever it's called

#

Tanks have more of the red stat

manic flare
#

so how does the game determine their battle stats when they are dungeoning with u?

wintry chasm
#

By their job and level

#

Simple

restive relic
#

do i have to finish the msq to to attune to Eulmoire

wintry chasm
#

You're greatly overthinking this by comparing it to a Tactics game

#

#

Not finish but it is MSQ locked

#

You'll realise when you can do it

Does this game have an easy learning curve?

The reddit post says that i don't have to have guests, but i hope it's true

Being a guest at a bonding ceremony requires an invitation handed out by you. Hand out no invitations = no guests.

Well you and your partner

So is it okay to not hand out invitations and proceed to the ceremony then?

tender merlin

does lalafel warrior not get big axes 😦

gritty oracle
#

Yeah. It's your bonding ceremony, you do what you want. (As long as your partner agrees.)

#

They do, it's just a smaller big axe

#

Proportionally it's the same size as on other races

If a weapon is 1.5 your height as a roegadyn, it'll be 1.5 your height as a lalafell.

Okay, that's not 100% true. All abilities and spells and skills have a ~.65s hard animation lock, where you can't use anythhing else

twilit arch
#

like its not a bad thing, no

#

but animation lock exists like xaviell said

so it is something to keep in mind

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.

ohh omg i thought it was below the minimap

quick qn on e8s drops. If 8/8 is 1st time entry for the week, it means there will be 2 chests. So does this mean the 2 chest will always be 1 class specifc weapon + 1 chest coffer?

static yacht
#

its 2 chests

#

but multiple drops

#

one of the "2 chests"

#

ONLY contains a body piece

#

the other chest contains the weapon, the weapon coffer, the minion, and the mount

#

so every time you do a two chest you get everything

#

but when you do a 1 chest, you either get ONLY the chest piece coffer

#

or the weapon coffer, the weapon + everything else

soft jay
#

tks @static yacht so there will always be ONE chest coffer, ONE weapon Coffer + 1 class specifc weapon , minion and mount

static yacht

correct

roughly how long does it usually take to save enough money for a plot of land? just trying to learn what to expect

#

ive had the game for almost a week, im a level 40 carpenter, and level 40 botanist, ive made about 120k mainly from selling furnature, and certain materials. im just curious because i know sometimes its hard to even find a plot if u can afford it, along with actually having to earn yourself the gil

gritty oracle
#

Small houses usually cost roughly 4M (3.5M for house, 500k for permit)

#

The best tips to make money is to sell glam/glam mats, and not spend any Gil you already have

#

Or find your niche market

#

F.e in my server for some reason grade 3 orchestrion rolls went up to 7.2k from 6k, so I'm milking that cow for however long I can.

Hi, running on 4k on a 2080 super right now. Been able to get consistent 60fps that is until I enter a crowd heavy area like limsa - would that be more of a CPU issue?

Anyone use the beta lokyst optimizer? How do i change the durability from 40 to 70 and 80?

@stiff fiber giant crowds/hunt mobs are usually ram speed limited (ps4 simply hard caps number of players tracked locally)

is there a setting for me to limit that on PC?

granite swan
#

What exactly are the Nier Coins used for now that the older stuff is pre-augmented?

gritty oracle
#

Augmented Crystarium

#

One manufactured and one puppet's for a Crystarium upgrade if you don't do savage

granite swan
#

Ah

gloomy mortar
#

I got a non-augmented Scavian gear from a Venture. Can I upgrade it?

gritty oracle
#

Yes, for 100 poetics.

#

You don't need to buy the upgrade item anymore, just do it directly

gloomy mortar
#

Do it meaning what

little swift
#

Upgraded at calamity salvager

gritty oracle
#

Thanks

granite swan
#

How difficult is it to get the 2b glamour now days?

gloomy mortar
#

Thanks

little swift
#

Instead of buying the upgrade materials and trading the piece and the item for the upgrade

gritty oracle
#

If I replace a neo ish piece with yorha/Crystarium, should I grind the neo ish piece for tokens to upgrade the rest of my gear?

little swift
#

@granite swan not that bad considering 3 chests drop and most people have it now

granite swan
#

Do you know if the glamour goes in the armoir or the other thing?

gritty oracle
#

It doesn't

fervent silo
#

when transferring worlds do your retainers keep items in their inventory?

little swift
#

Regarding replacing your pieces its up to you whether you want the upgraded piece

gritty oracle
#

The only gear that goes in the armoire is the 45 AF armour, seasonal event gear and achievement rewards

little swift
#

Since neither are bis

granite swan
#

Ah

gloomy mortar
#

AF armor; what is AF

little swift
#

Yes lota you take whatever they have with you

granite swan
#

Artifact?

gritty oracle
#

Artifact

left moth
#

@stiff fiber System Configuration>Other Settings>Character and Object Quantity (reducing battle effects, non party character nameplates, and movement physics also helps)

little swift
#

Af means artifact

granite swan
#

Lv 45 Job Armor pretty much

gritty oracle
#

Gear you get from class quests

little swift
#

Refers to job specific armor sets

gritty oracle
#

Idk why 50/60/70/80 AF gear doesn't go in the armoire

granite swan
#

Hm, would the lv 50 stuff go in also or is it not considered AF?

gloomy mortar
#

Only lvl 45 and under?

granite swan
#

Ah :p

little swift
#

The i90 versions cannot go in

granite swan
#

darn i like the colors on 50 better, ah well

gritty oracle
#

They can still go in the glam dresser

fervent silo
#

when transferring worlds do your retainers keep items in their inventory?

granite swan
#

True but i have a feeling 400 wont be enough once i start leveling multiple jobs rofl

@left moth that seems to have increased my performance, thank you!!

gloomy mortar
#

What is the dyeable armor version of the Dragoon Wyrms Mail called?

gritty oracle
#

Maethil you're 100% correct

#

At this point I just store ugly non-replaceable glam on my retainer, and throw away the replaceable ones

Your retainers bring your stuff

I said it earlier too btw :P

How to get Dyeable Artifact Gear

A Realm Reborn i50/i55 set: Done in Mor Dhona by talking to Kakalan at x22, y6 after completing the quest 'Simply to Dye For' located at x22, y9. Augmenting a set of gear requires a total of 7 Augmentations matching the name of the set. Augmentations can be crafted or bought on the marketboard.

Heavensward i200 set: Bought directly with Centurio Seals in Ishgard at the Forgotten Knight by talking to Ardolain in the 'Exchange Centurio Seals (Advanced)' option.

Stormblood i290 set: Done in Eureka Anemos by exchanging Protean and Anemos Crystals with Gerolt to upgrade the set. Eureka is unlocked in Rhalgr's Reach with the quest 'And We Shall Call It Eureka' and is accessed in Kugane by talking to Rodney at x9, y14.

Shadowbringers i430 set: Obtained from Idealized coffers in the trial Memoria Misera (Extreme). They can also be bought with High Legatus Idols obtained from the trial in Mor Dhona by talking to C'intana.

Yea, and its so sad cause im 2 levels from speccing into healer I think

cause somebody told me it was at level 30

Yup 30 is when you get your job

an hour sounds quite off

even for dps

If your on US, though, you gotta remember its 2am here

I'm on Europe but yea people probably working or at school rn

twilit arch
#

I would also suggest looking at your duty finder language options

abstract bluff
#

language options?

granite swan
#

Yeah, i tick all 4, the most ive seen ppl talk in a dungeon anyway is "Hello" Lol

twilit arch
#

and make sure you've got at the very least E and D enabled

granite swan
#

the lil cog in top left of duty finder

twilit arch
#

at the top of the duty finder window, there's a cogwheel and then to the right "Language J E D F"

abstract bluff
#

oh yea found it

#

thanks!

twilit arch
#

depending on which languages you've got ticked on, it'll search for other players with those language options enabled

Phanta grab materials and sell them

The 20 phanta materials are the ones used in current endgame crafts the most

The ones at the top of the menu

gloomy mortar
#

I haven’t finished Shadowbringers.

little swift
#

Oof then you gotta wait

twilit arch
#

then you can't do anything with it

#

you have to finish ShB before you can see the vendors

stray osprey
#

They don't explain crafting very well, do they?

#

I'm sitting here staring at the "Synthesis" screen looking for the button to craft and apparently you have to open that menu, and THEN hit a hotkey command.

little swift
#

Crafting is its own game

#

You have skillsets you use to

#

Complete crafts

stray osprey
#

And why does my character have to be in their underwear to leatherwork?

little swift
#

Synth skills increase craft progress and touch skills increase quality

twilit arch
#

crafting/gathering has their own set of gear too

little swift
#

Because you don't have any gear for them

twilit arch
#

its no different than switching to a different combat class for the first time, you need to put on some gear

little swift
#

Crafting gear uses the stats craftsmanship/control/cp

#

Gathering gear uses gathering/perception/gp

stray osprey
#

And when you switch back to your DPS class it doesn't remember what you were wearing. Neat >.>

Are there any really essential tips for healer? I picked up astro the second i got into heavensward and in leveling roulette things have been going mostly fine, but every now and then I get parties and dungeons that devolve into chaos, utter shit shows, and full party deaths... i ask because I dunno if its me or just rotten luck, ive only had like 2 tpks when I was summoner but ive had a few more in quicker succession as a beginner astro

You should be using gear sets

What can I do with 2000 Tomes of Phantasgoria if I just started Shadowbringers?
@gloomy mortar that's impossible

twilit arch
#

open the character menu and click on the little plus sign

jade quartz
#

Do not change classes just by equipping a weapon

crimson wind
#

Actually not Phantasmagoria

#

But you can't get allegory til endgame

twilit arch
#

you can though

#

via roulettes if you're lvl 80

little swift
#

You can earn it from roulettes

crimson wind
#

oh

gloomy mortar
#

I got 2000 Times of Phantasgoria by doing Hunt Trains

crimson wind
#

You get phantasmagoria from SB trains?

gloomy mortar
#

Yes

#

10 per Stormblood mark, 40(?) for ShB Mark. Hunt trains usually kill 8-10 marks

Astrologian question here. Is there any point of having Undraw and redraw in your hotbars? to me these feel kinda useless.

twilit arch
#

undraw no

little swift
#

Redraw is useful

twilit arch
#

redraw is useful

#

at 50+ when you get divinity, and the seal system gets added to your cards

past lantern
#

So to get divinity do you need 3 different seals or same ones+

gritty oracle
#

Undraw is yeah useless

twilit arch
#

you need 3 seals, period for divinity. How many different seals you have when you use it increases the dmg boost it gives

gritty oracle
#

It was useful when Draw's cooldown started when your card got used or undrawn

little swift
#

!action divination

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Divination** : lvl 50 AST (120.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Increases damage dealt by self and nearby party members.
Duration: 15s
Can only be executed after obtaining three Seals of Arcana by playing at least three arcanum.
Effectiveness is determined by the number of different types of seals in play.
1 Seal Type: 4%
2 Seal Types: 5%
3 Seal Types: 6%

twilit arch
#

so if you have 3 seals that are all the same type, it'll give 4% dmg boost

gritty oracle
#

At lv70 you'll get sleeve draw which always gives you a perfect seal

twilit arch
#

if 3 seals are all different then its 6%

tidal yarrow
#

the coffers on savage drop only for the class you have at the moment?

past lantern
#

Sleeve draw has pretty long cd though

twilit arch
#

What item you get from the coffer depends on what job you open it with

warped nest
#

Sleeve Draw is a "cheat" ability to get the seal you need

#

You know

#

Like hiding a card in your sleeve in a poker game

soft bough
#

how do i change my settings between legacy and standard?

past lantern
#

So is there point of using "play" ability if you have Minor Arcana?

twilit arch
#

you still want to play cards normally for the seals

#

You use minor arcana when you don't need the seal

wanton shadow
#

is using trusts + daily + faerie tribe the best way to go from 70-80?

twilit arch

if your normal dungeon queues are 15+minutes long then yeah trusts are fine

Yeah

#

Is most likely the tank

warped nest

There are punishment that are designed to... Well punish hard and cannot be carried by a healer

That said, general tips for learning healer

#

If you aren't confident yet, be more proactive in the beginning of a mob pull

gloomy mortar
#

Can you place items on top of an aquarium in a room?

warped nest
#

Be a bit more aggressive with your heal, then adjust based on how the tank HP fluctuate:

  • drop hard and healed hard: keep doing what you are doing
  • drop slowly and you heal always heal to max: slow down those heal
  • barely drop and in no imminent danger: start killing shit yourself
karmic niche
#

Is gunblade the hardest tank to learn? Or all the tank have equal learning curve?

warped nest
#

Equal ish

#

Some tanks have a tad more tools to be more comfy while learning

#

Gunbreaker is usually "hard" because the player themselves probably haven't tanked before

karmic niche
#

Ok, it just everyone i watch in yt said gunblade have the weakest defensive toola than other

warped nest
#

Technically, yes

#

But it is NOT the difference between a sheet of paper vs a wall

white sierra

Its risk/reward

Tanking skill are transferable
