Any tips on where to look for statics? Tried joining the ff14 recruitment discord but i don't think it's compatible with free trial folk. I just wanna do content man ;_;

@azure frost the recruitment channel
static yacht
@azure frost no one does statics for non-levle 80 content
remote lintel
oh
faint flare
You're not really gonna get a static for old content
median locust
There will not be any free trial statics because all people who care about raiding are level 80
static yacht
@azure frost people only do PF + unsynced for old content
wispy parcel
I mean you wont really be able to find a static for pre-endgame content
or well
OLD endgame content
static yacht
and IIRC free trial doesn't give you access to PF
faint flare
Statics are more current endgane
static yacht
righto
vocal shell
there are some groups that run old content min ilvl
but its so far in between
dont think its worth considering
azure frost
I got a friend who has the full game so making PF isn't an issue
wispy parcel
not many people are willing to run old endgame synched
static yacht
those that are typically will want the expectation that you know the ins and outs of your job
it being min ilvl
remote lintel
people arent really going to do old content synced
static yacht
usually that is done by looking at end game content parses
remote lintel
since its so much easier unsync

unreal is basically the only way you're going to get to experience old fights properly
static yacht
ya no one wants to do coils @ min ilvl lol
halcyon glen
Synced Coils are depressing
remote lintel
savage level content requires extreme coordination

Even then if somebody's going to do it with you it's a pretty big time sink for them if you're watching cutscenes
halcyon glen
"where are all of my buttons? What do you MEAN I need to use Cure 2 to heal?"

azure frost
Oh, the first Coils mission is already savage? Good to know
median locust
All coils are Savage, they just existed before Savage was a thing so they don't have the tag
remote lintel
its basically the only normal 8 man raid like it
median locust
The few ones that actually have the Savage tag are just harder versions of the normal savage fight

I’m a Serpent Sargeant First Class, and I’m kinda bored of Gridania tbqh so I just wanna Switch to Immortal Flames in Ul’dah. Is there anything I should know before doing that? Should I do any quests as a Twin Adder to unlock something helpful before switching? Or is it kinda just w/e?
median locust
If you're jumping, you can't double weave it with anything else or it'll clip your GCD
I also see a few times where you used 3-4 weaves in between your GCDs, you don't do that
Maximum should be 2
little swift
Jumps take both weave slots
Theres the biggest issue
Weave mirage on the next gcd
little swift
The other was a random triple weave
remote lintel
@untold wharf you will have to make back all your seals

Which means you need to plan gcds a bit better

Only one of your weave issues didn't include a jump

Alrighty friends. I am struggling on getting the last Aether current in The Dravanian Forelands. I have all of them except the 4th quest one if you look at the Aether Current's page. Anyone know which one that is?
mossy current
All NA datacenters are in the same location, the only thing is your preference in endgame content
bronze eagle
I beat heavensward and am now on the afterquests.
coarse carbon
dungeons and raiding most likely
mossy current
Crystal is more lax, Primal and Aether like to raid more
Aether currently has 1 preferred server, which boosts all EXP gained until level 70 by 100%
Primal does not iirc
bronze eagle
@remote lintel I am on the Dragonsong War Quests now so full MSQ is done.
mossy current
4th quest one is an extra one, 5th quest one is MSQ
bronze eagle
Yeah I can't find it
remote lintel

Might check for any blue ! In the area or maybe ishgard

would you suggest the preferred server then? i heard something about being able to freely move around the servers within the data centers?

You can! But going outside of your homeworld has restrictions

how do y ou see the preferred server?

So, did a bit of a reading on unreal fights. Are the devs planning on releasing more for every corresponding primal?

@coarse carbon on this list when selecting a server, there is a star by the name. Sargatanas is the current preferred server on Aether

limber walrus
okay 🙂 thank u 😄
remote lintel
you only meld the next if its full
little swift
Fit your skill speed first
Tbh
You're too fast for the slowest loop and too slow for the mid tier loop
But dh on weapon is fine
limber walrus
okay
If I use up two VIIIs of DH
it won't use up all 160, but I'll miss out on 15 DH
it probably..doesn't matter too much right
so it'll be using up 145 out of 160
limber walrus
oh
limber walrus
yeah you're right nevermind I thought 80 for some reason
no overmelding allowed right
at least until 500
remote lintel
augmented neo ish can't be overmelded iirc
limber walrus
okay ☺️

Non-crafted items can't be overmelded anyways
They usually have

Auto synth is for crafting materials from raw materials

Hey guys, I just hit lvl 80 on one class and am really looking forward to finishing the story so I can enjoy end game content, I was wondering, is it worth lvling a different class to my current storyline lvl (around 75) and continuing the story line quests then or push through now without exp gain on my main class?
ionic vault
they turned off their vpns and it's still happening
wispy parcel
I'd recommend reaching 80 first to get the full armory bonus

They already did, if you read what they said...
simple shore
@south umbra you can start doing your daily shit (levelling roulette, etc) on an alt class, but i wouldnt just stop your MSQ progression for it either.
autumn oriole
Are you very interested in the next story atm, or do you want to take a break?
autumn oriole
If you want to know what happens in main story now it’s better to just keep on doing msq. If you are fine with taking a break from msq, then leveling another job is fine
polar hound
there's no real rush to level other characters, mind you. if the story has you gripped, keep at it. you have forever to level others.
autumn oriole
Yeah gnb should be pretty easy to level
Fast queues and only 15 levels to catch up
remote lintel
it would be a waste of exp if they were 80 already near the start of shb
polar hound
Still, exp isn't a scarce resource here ijs
remote lintel
it would make leveling another easier
elder sinew
How do you link a party finder link?
autumn oriole
It does save a bit of time later
polar hound
it is a nice chunk of exp, agreed. it entirely falls down to: If you're enjoying the story, keep at it. If you feel you can set it down while you level another, go for it. 🙂
autumn oriole
And leveling gnb should be easiest if you choose to level another job before advancing
polar hound
i would argue that tank/healers wouldnt need it the mostest but it is true it would be fastest
south umbra
Thanks everyone there's a lot of different responses, just goes to show its easiest to play how you want it seems. Thanks guys, I think you helped me make a decision. I will try to lvl another character just to not waste the shadow lands exp, though I won't have access to all raids, I'll still be able to participate in most end game content.
autumn oriole
Yeah dnc would be the best choice if you want to make the best use of these msq exp
polar hound
shadowlands 
remote lintel
you can't do raids until you finish shadowbringers anyway
you have to complete the story to access them
autumn oriole
But it takes longer to level than gnb, which means you’ll have to take a longer break before you can advance in msq

Without a hunting log or the ability to queue for dungeons, how are Blue Mages generally expected to level? Just FATEs essentially from 1-60?

BLU gain way more exp from overworld mobs
they also have the masked carnivale etc. find near-level mobs and kill them. or have a buddy power you like most

So I just had a nightmare scenario in the aurum vale. Im still getting used to Astrologian and to cut to the chase we never made it past the first boss... the tank got mega frustrated with me and we eventually just left. Is there anything I could have been doing to make things go more smoothly? Like I was healing to the best of my ability and eating fruit when needed, but everyone kept dying anyway because their ho dropped faster than I could heal and once one person died all the rest of us followed suit

Hey everyone - I am new here. Picked up the demo of FFXIV. Been away from MMO's for a while but need something to do.
I last played FFXIV when it was just "Realm Reborn" so there is a lot for me to catch up on. I am currently playing a Gladiator and was wondering if there was any useful guide for tanking. Job rotations I am seeing feel super complicated.
lime geode
Aurum Vale is hard when you're leveling. I had to leave it once as a healer as I couldn't keep up.
If people are undergeared it's tough to make it through.

if people know how to do the dungeon its not super hard
it was my first dungeon as a healer

If your party is undergeared, you can't keep up. If you're at level or being level synced, it isn't hard.

@polar hound Thank you I will read it now. Do you feel that doing lower level dungeons / instances (sorry if I am incorrect with the FFXIV nomenclature) will give me good practice how to get the tanking fundamentals down?
polar hound
Kinda, it wont hurt of course. If i were you, i'd tell your groups at the start of dungeons etc that you're new and appreciate any tips as each dungeon has its own mechanics (okay a lot are reused but anyway)
Palace of the dead (once you unlock 50+) can be decent to try classes out because you'll be at level 60, also

AV is rough on healers in general if the party doesn't respect the player's limitations @white sierra. If you say "I literally cannot heal you because you're taking too much debuff damage" and they keep ignoring the actual mechanics, that's on them.

@polar hound Does this work with a FC house or just regular house?

do you buy glamour dyes from merchants?

Like how many stacks did they get too before eating the fruit?
polar hound
@gloomy mortar either or as long as you have permission to place furniture
fresh lodge
And you're using Benefic II over Benefic right?
polar hound
In an FC you'd need rank permissions to place it instead of tenant.

@untold wharf you need to rank up to second lieutenant

@leaden ginkgo it means your target is below your current level
polar hound
nope, it's just where you need to go
fresh lodge
Not it means its below you

upwards arrow means above your current level

RE: aurum vale
in regards to aurum vale if people aren't respecting mechanics thats when you go into triage mode and don't heal them
polar hound
@wintry compass people generally buy Ventures for retainers, Glamour Prisms for..glamour etc. or sell old atma stuff
static yacht
anyone that has past 5 stacks isn't getting a heal cause at that point you're wasting mana
letting them die and rezzing
is a better use of mana at that point tbh
polar hound
it's a simple thing to do and shouldn't reach over 3 to begin with though.
people are increasingly into a mindset of "just burn boss and win" and AV punishes that lol
white sierra
The second i go to raise one the others would die, even with swift casting it, it was a shit show
open coral
No, just leave them dead
static yacht
it seems like everyone wasn't doing the mechanic properly / had low gear then
white sierra
Anyhow ima look into upscale the debuffs so I can see em a bit better
remote lintel
hud layout > click the party list > click the cog icon > enlarge it
open coral
Your priority for healing will always be yourself, then the tank. The dps can lie on the floor dead if they're not clearing their debuffs because you can do more damage with the MP you'd otherwise use to raise them than they're doing being alive.

just got lvl 30 for scholar. what is difference between selene and eos?
polar hound
none
open coral
The color
white sierra
Thanks for the menuing tip @remote lintel
polar hound
there used to be a difference, but with SHB it's cosmetic.
open coral
Eos is green, Selene is yellow and purple.

Keeper is also good at punishing those who think you can just burn the bosses down as well.

Ohh ok
Well back to levelling I guess, heres hoping things go better, or at least as they usually do
tulip plover
Is there a tab here for people doing content or roul?
polar hound
not really no, people tend to find FCs or such to run those with
party finder can have some luck with roulettes, especially if you're a tank/healer
but that would be extra steps when you have an instant queue

open coral
Any time the are more than one 
you have to complete all of them to progress.
It only happens a few times (even fewer than it used to since they updated ARR).
wintry compass
alright sounds good thank you

what are apartments in housing wards? and is it worth to buy one if I can't get a house

Ok, in one of the msq quest pre HW where were tracking stolen crystals
...why was yshtola in a miners outfit at one point? Did I miss a line of text
obsidian patio
Tataru and Minfilia both did mining at some point before
Not sure if those quests are still in the MSQ post-5.3
I know Tataru’s quest with her being a miner got cut, but can’t remember for Minfilia.
remote lintel
yshtola's was a disguise

That is up to opinion
heady orbit

open coral
You're a damage dealer. That makes you useful.
That's your role in a party is to do damage.

Ah you're right, I guess I just missed that part

My big dmg goes to boss only cuz tank aggro all mobs and aoe them

Yes. That's your entire purpose in life.

Do the deeps. Kill the boss.

You got aoe as well

Healers and tanks can't do it on their own. They don't do enough damages.

What classes are unlock in hw?im ft
remote lintel
dark knight astrologian machinist
gray sage
Stick with Lancer/ Dragoon until you complete the A Realm Reborn MSQ
potent lava
Is there a concrete info on that yet
open coral
AST, DRK, and MCH become available when you reach Ishgard.
RDM and SAM once you hit level 50.
gray sage
Blue Mage becomes avaible after completing the final quest of the ARR 2.0 MSQ which is at level 50.
open coral
BLU doesn't count. It's not a real class.
gray sage
That is irrelevent.
potent lava
Rdm and sam need SB though
heady orbit
Can i play samurai and dancer on free trial?
remote lintel
no
heady orbit
Ahh
open coral
RDM and SAM only require that you own SB.
heady orbit
DK then
slate arrow
yes
heady orbit
After i reach 60 with drg
remote lintel
ishgard is lvl 50
wintry chasm
Well
Yes and yes but also no
Sure it's level 50 but there are a lot of level 50 quests to get there
open coral

remote lintel
dark knight doesnt need lvl 60 to unlock it
open coral
Not as many as there once were at 50, but still a good number.
remote lintel
just lvl 50 since ishgard is at 50
gray sage
I am thinking of switching to Machinist (from Ninja) once I have access to Ishgard

Can anyone tell me the stat priority for SAM please?

Idk but when im in a party with strangers its feel so good when everyone say hi and no one complain if i watch a cutscene or i die

primal relic
I bought three set of 130, and remember someone telling me it falls off around lvl55. So was wondering how long it last me.
remote lintel
until like 54
primal relic
Yeah so I thought ARR post goes up to 60 then HW start at lvl 60 to 70
primal relic
Oh I see
white sierra
Or 30-60 if you changed to dark knight or astrologian and grind lol
polar hound
they were created when that was the level cap to keep in mind
primal relic
Another question I have is about these hard mode dungeons I’ve been unlocking. Some of these don’t have the swirly icon or sync I think, does that mean I can be ridiculously over geared while I do them?
faint flare
It will sync you down to the highest ilvl cap of the time period, so i130
So still mostly face roll
primal relic
Oh nice then!
wintry compass
do i not get the meca mount from defeating the imperial force?

Is it worth to speed MSQ to Shadow?
I wanted to start playing end game content for once and realized it's just a huge MSQ grind
calm phoenix
Why did the game say wait time was 15 minutes when it queued in under a minute? I went to ask my wife something and when I came back it said that I abandoned the duty! It WAS NOT EVEN 30 seconds! What was this "15 minutes" BS?
calm phoenix
15 minutes sure ain't right being under 1 min
granite swan
Ya, never listen to the average. It will say avg 5 min ... 45 min later it pops >.>
polar hound
turn your volume up so you can hear it when it pops, otherwise yeah.. average doesnt mean exact, ever

you can set your controller to vibrate when it pops real useful since my headphones are rarely plugged into the game
