#

from raid point of view, is machinist considered support or dps?

hidden axle
#

quick question: are there guides for leveling up Desynth levels for LTW?

leaden ginkgo
#

just buy cheap stuff from the market

#

use tinker's calm and bacon food

jade quartz
#

@leaden ginkgo There is no support role.

#

Machinist is a ranged physical dps.

#

Their party buffs are the weakest of the three ranged phys dps (they bring none, just role actions)

what level do i need to be to unlock astrologian?

Heavensward Jobs and How to Unlock Them

Heavensward Expansion Jobs: Dark Knight (DRK, Tank), Astrologian (AST, Healer), and Machinist (MCH, Ranged DPS). These jobs start at level 30 and require the completion of the level 50 main scenario quest "Before the Dawn".
Since the 5.3 update DRK, AST, and MCH are now included in the free trial/Starter edition of the game, though the unlock requirements are still the same.

Job Unlock Locations:
Dark Knight - Ishgardian Citizen at The Pillars (13,9), quest name is "Our End".
Astrologian - Jannequinard at The Pillars (15,10), quest name is "Stairway to the Heavens".
Machinist - Stephanivien at Foundation (8,10), quest name is "Savior of Skysteel".

manic flare
#

Which squadron recruits are considered "rare recruits"?

warped nest
#

To be specific, you need to a lvl 50 DoW/M to initiate these quests.

manic flare
warped nest
#

But this doesn't include the other requirement, which is reaching Heavensward city

manic flare
#

Are "rare recruits" better?

restive relic
#

cant talk to Aymark in Eulmore yet, just did the thing in the story. do i need to be 80?

leaden ginkgo
#

If there are rare recruits, I've never noticed

jade quartz
#

@restive relic you must complete the base Shadowbringers story

#

which requires being level 80

restive relic
#

well im like 1 exp from 80 and still ahve like 20 quests left

#

even if i hit 80 i cant get gear from him till im done the msq?

jade quartz
#

must finish the quests

restive relic
#

jesus

jade quartz
#

You can't access any content where that level 80 gear is necessary until then anyway

restive relic
#

oof

#

thought i could at least buy my gear with the tomes i have for when i hit 80

jade quartz
#

You don't have any level 80 tomestones yet

#

That vendor doesn't use poetics

restive relic
#

ahhhh

umbral lance
#

Do elemental aspected crystals still drop for the anima questline even if I don't have the quest up?

twilit arch
#

no

#

need the quest active to be able to get them

umbral lance
#

roger, ty

vital ruin
#

When should I do relic weapons quests

jade quartz
#

level 50, 60 and 70 relic weapons are basically only useful for glamour.

#

you can ignore them if you wish.

#

The level 80 relic is a relevant weapon which is a good start at level 80.

left moth
#

@manic flare rare recruits are the same stat range as regular ones just cool and/or derp looking (ie lala wearing a snowman outfit)

jade quartz
#

and will receive further upgrade opportunities in future patches

vital ruin
#

Can I directly start lv 80 or progress to 80

hazy shadow
#

Is space bar, the "jump" key, used for anything content wise? Considering remapping it if I don't need jumping for anything significant

jade quartz
#

The relic weapons at each level bracket are separate.

umbral lance
#

Just for your info,

vital ruin
#

What are the item level

umbral lance
#

50 - Zodiac relics, really tedious but really easy.
60 - HW anima relics, fairly easy and not that tedious, but lots of poetics.
70 - Eurekan relics, requires a lot of Eureka but can be fun if you're into that kind of thing

jade quartz
#

None of the 50, 60 or 70 relics have anything to do with the 80 relics

nocturne dust
#

Is there a blue mage discord? I need help leveling it.

left moth
#

Each relic is independent of the previous. Anima (60) you could trade in a 50 relic to skip first step but dont need to since crystal grind has been nerfed into the ground

jade quartz
#

The current level 80 relic is ilvl 485

#

Only the first step has been released.

#

Subsequent patches will introduce upgrade steps to increase the item level and also make the model fancier and glowier.

vital ruin
#

I'm level 54 now with item level 130(those ironwork weapon)
Are the relics better than my current weapon

jade quartz
#

No

vital ruin
#

o

#

So I'll just do relic when I'm level 80?

jade quartz
#

Relics apart from current endgame relics are not worth doing for anything other than glamour

#

yep

vital ruin
#

I c thanks :)

left moth
#

Considering the time to get a 50 relic no.

silver ruin
#

you can only do one unreal retelling a week right?

vocal shell
#

yeah only one retelling

hard elm
#

Palace of the Dead can get me up to what level? 50? 60?

little swift
#

61 technically

#

Then 61 to 71 would be heaven on high

hard elm
#

Thanks. 🙂

crisp quartz
#

As an Arcanist, what crafting job should I work on?

jade quartz
#

Alchemists, leatherworkers, weavers, goldsmiths, carpenters, and occasionally armourers all create gear equipped by arcanists

#

there's not just one answer to that question.

crisp quartz
#

Lol thanks! Is there a class that can create dyes?

jade quartz
#

All crafting classes can make dyes

crisp quartz
#

Ohh cool

jade quartz
#

If you want to get into crafting, it's usually recommended to level all the crafting classes.

#

Not just because you usually need all of them (except culinarian) to make a set of gear at a certain level

#

but because they all make intermediate ingredients for stuff made by others

crisp quartz
#

Ok cool! Ill definitely keep that in mind! I guess for now Ill mostly work on Culinary lol

jade quartz
#

and if you try to only use one crafting class, you'll have to buy those pre-crafted ingredients from others at a markup instead of making them yourself

#

Culinarian is more separated as it just makes food from gathered ingredients basically

#

Don't need no planks or ingots to make a steak dinner

crisp quartz
#

Lol that is true!!

#

But Steak dinners are delicious

keen fable
#

once you unlock a relic weapon's stages, can you use any stage as glamour?

jade quartz
#

You can use any stage as glamour

#

but depending on which relic type it is, the vendor that sells the "replicas" (glamourable versions of the previous steps) may unlock at different points

keen fable
#

gotcha

jade quartz
#

For example, Anima weapon step replicas are purchased from the "Restoration Node" which only becomes available after you've progressed at least one Anima weapon to the ilvl 230 ("Hyperconductive") stage

Hey all hello i was wondering anyone else having problems "Paying" because i try to buy 2 retainer with the same CC that i pay my monthly but i cant... ?

umbral agate
#

Can you move your fairy as sch?

jade quartz
#

Yes, using the pet actions “place” to click a place for it to go, and “heel” for it to revert to following you

#

There’s also “stay” to make it stop following you and stand still but it’s not so required

#

You can select these buttons from the pet hotbar, or drag them onto your regular hotbars from where they’re located in Actions & Traits -> Pet

The Wiki says that in order to start 2.5 MSQ, I need to complete the three (Hard) Primal quests, but the quests are completed before actually fighting the Primal. Do I need to fight the last Primal, Titan, or will it be enough to just have attuned to the aetheryte?

twilit arch
#

you need to clear titan

jade quartz
#

Must clear it

I see. 😦

#

I'm trying to make a character on Exodus and start the game since im new but it says i cant make a char on that server. what do i do

hard elm
#

Wait a few hours.

jade quartz

This server is currently: Standard

olive herald

can i save the character i made or should i keep the game open

hard elm

🤔

olive herald
#

#

when i try to make a char it says new characters arent being made rn

outer plank
#

@olive herald it mightsay that

jade quartz
#

Try once more

outer plank
#

hold on i had a stroke

#

character creation is usually limited in high population servers

jade quartz
#

if it still refuses you, then lodestone status is just a little behind.

olive herald
#

yeah its still refusing me

jade quartz
#

Alright

olive herald
#

latest i can stay on until is like 3am and its 2:20am here rn

jade quartz
#

you'll have to wait until a less crowded time

olive herald
#

so i hope it resolves in the next 40 mins

jade quartz
#

Servers are locked for character creation based on the number of players currently online on that server.

outer plank
#

i mean, keep trying. its like 2 am and primal is an est data center

#

this is not peak time

olive herald
#

oh

jade quartz

There are no est data centres

Not necessacily.

Its NPC-based

In general they approximate roughly Victorian-era speech, but fashionably freshened-up in that Game of Thrones sort of way

#

"Is aught amiss?" etc. etc.

hard elm
#

Sometimes, in a dungeon or trial, when we're losing the fight, I'll notice the boss unleash a powerful attack. Now, I'd expect to see everyone's HP drop to 0 and then the fight restarts, but instead, I don't see any HP damage being taken. The fight just restarts. Are some attacks programmed to automatically end a fight?

remote lintel
#

which fight

hard elm
#

It's happened in quite a few of them, but most recently, Titan (Hard). I was stuck in a gaol, and as soon as my party freed me, the boss did something and the fight started over.

#

I didn't see anyone take damage.

remote lintel
#

you mean you were all teleported back to the start of the fight

hard elm
#

Yeah. Without the dying in battle part.

remote lintel
#

they probably did die and you just didnt notice it

simple bolt
#

I've had times where I instantly get reset without any damage shown

hard elm

earlier i wiped to Sephirot EX solo

#

hard elm
#

It's happened too much for me to just not notice my party dying.

simple bolt
#

0 damage

remote lintel
#

i mean the boss did a raidwide and then you said you were teleported back to the starting ring

#

that looks like dying to me

dumb question but, me and friend are trying to go for heavensward relics and we're both healers. the part with doing 10 dungeons, there's no way to go around that so we can do that together right?

yes

hallow grove

gotcha

remote lintel

if you unsync

#

or have a preformed party of 4

hallow grove

you can unsync with 2 healers in a dungeon that only needs 1?

you need to do your level 10 arcanist quest to be able to unlock other classes, then progress to around lvl 15 in msq which is when you visit the 2 other starting cities

Hey everyone, is there a significant difference between servers/data centers when it comes to raids, fc, etc? I'm currently on Mateus and while I genuinely don't have an issue with RP, I don't RP so I have concerns when it comes to recruiting and such. Maybe I'm overthinking it?

simple bolt
#

the raiding scene i know can differ a bit server to server.

#

what exactly is it you're worried about?

mental garnet
#

so, is there something i can do with my old facet gathering gear if i want to buy full aesthete's?

ember stream
#

could give it to a retainer or just desynth

warped nest
#

Give to your retainer

#

Another rarely considered option would be keeping them as glamour for your dol

crimson nymph
#

I'm not necessarily worried too much, all of my concerns are from ignorance for sure. It just seems so far that I won't be able to really delve into what I want to as a non rp player on what I am told is an rp server? I just don't know if it would be any different on say Gilgamesh or Sarganantas. The people I've met so far I've ran a few things with but they're busy with RP most of the time

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.

warped nest
#

This though /\

untold sand
#

I need a lil bit of a in-game macro help with setup and stuff. Specifically foldering hotbars and some class macros

glossy flare
#

sam lacks group utility though, if you're looking for the downside

simple bolt
#

If you feel like you dont fit in with the server's community you could try visiting other worlds on your data center, though it has restrictions on certain things like creating/joining fc's

warped nest
#

I'm not gonna help on the hotbar menu/folder because it is pretty advance stuff, and it is better for you to just copy paste someone else's setup

#

Over me typing here and trying to give you a tutorial
plus I think it is entirely unnecessary for a player, new or experienced to touch these

#

I can however, answer questions on class macro

simple bolt
#

you can still do duties on the server you visit though

#

or you could just transfer to another server/data center if you want to

untold sand
#

@warped nest 1. My apologies for the hotbar thing then 2. I usually play scholar (will go with astrologian later), summoner, archer. Will pick up dark knight once i get to heavensward

crimson nymph
#

Ok I'll try that, just don't wanna be too impulsive. I'll do more research, I appreciate your help

simple bolt
#

though i think it costs irl money

warped nest
#

Don't apologize, I was just telling you that it is better to just copy existing setup

#

Over you learning how macro works, on a chat channel

crimson nymph
#

Ye I'll be sure before I do anything

warped nest
#

@untold sand I don't see the question in your part 2

untold sand
#

Wjats gud main macros ir ease of use macros for those classes? 😄

simple bolt
#

i've heard gilgamesh being one of the big raiding servers, but that was back when i first started, idk how it is now

warped nest
#

Almost none to be honest

untold sand
#

Im like nub have only like 12-14 days into the game

warped nest
#

Combat macro is often frown upon

untold sand
#

But already level 50 lol

warped nest
#

As they severely impact your combat performance

untold sand
#

Well then i asume its mostly used for craftibg then?

warped nest
#

There are a very very small amount of combat macro

#

Astrologian/Healer in general, should at least have a message macro to tell your party member that you are going to resurrect someone

untold sand
#

Not really combat as attack per say, i mean mostly like utility in game menu, gear, or healing/raise macros, tanking or buff macros etc not super knowledgable. Cuz my classes at level 50 is just the arcanist tree

warped nest
#

Raise macro

simple bolt
#

Raise macro never seems to work right for me

warped nest
#

DRK have 3 macros, if you want to use macro

  • Use the Blackest Night on your co tank
  • your invuln alert
  • Salted Earth auto target
crimson nymph
#

3? I only use salted earth what are the others lol

plain python
#

is it hard to join Hunt Linkshell?

untold sand
#

I know in game macro system has limitatin but from 1-10 how butchered is it?

crimson nymph
#

Oh true, gotta do that

silver ruin
#

@plain python hunt linkshells are kind of not used as much now, theres hunt discords that ar ebetter that will ping you when a hunt train happens

plain python
#

hm, can I have a link? 😮

#

not the Link with green tunic

untold sand
#

Another thing i kinda despise in the game is there a way to auto swap target in combat like dungeons etc i hate spamming tab

simple bolt
#

I use a macro for Living Dead on my DRK

silver ruin
#

idk what japan data centers do (just checked your tags) but na/eu use centurio hunts/some have seperate discords

untold sand
#

@simple bolt what does living dead to exactly and on what target?

simple bolt
#

it lets you have godmode for a short duration on most attacks, if you drop below 0 hp before living dead wears off

#

but it has a cost

#

being that if you dont get fully healed before walking dead wears off, YOU DIE

tidal yarrow
#

what part of the fight is called "conflag" on e6s?

Hi i had to formated my SSD where my game was, i would like to know how much gb the game is ?

my folder has about 47 gb

patent trellis
#

ok good thanks

sturdy marsh
#

hello guys just a question can i finish the quest "A Relic Reborn" as a free trial account?

glossy flare
#

yes

#

trials include all content up to lvl 60 and those relic weapons are all lvl 50 stuff

sturdy marsh
#

i need a aeolian scimitar my friend told me that i need to buy it from the marketplace which i cannot access is there any other way to get one?

twilit arch
#

its going to be more annoying imo as a free trial user

#

since you don't have access to the marketboard

glossy flare
#

you'd have to craft it yourself

twilit arch
#

or ask someone to craft it for you

glossy flare
#

which obviously requires time investment into levelling crafters/gatherers

simple bolt
#

i've heard that leveling DoH jobs is a bit quicker than it used to be

#

havent touched one since getting BTN to 50 though so idk how true that is

potent lava
#

And crafting is quite an investment for FTs as you have limited uinventory space

glossy flare
#

crafting the required items is not too hard overall since it's lvl 50 stuff while the game has advanced to lvl 80, so you may get lucky asking around in the novice network

simple bolt
#

some of the crafted gear looks pretty sick though

#

like the seeing horde weapons

sturdy marsh
#

well there goes my hopes hahahaha

#

thanks for answering my question

autumn oriole
#

I leveled WVR to level 80 before starting stormblood to get into the glamour game asap

glossy flare
#

a friend could also buy the item from the market board for you

#

or anyone really

simple bolt
#

im lazy so i went and spent a questionable amount of gil on a crafted weapon

#

for the glamour

glossy flare
#

look, we all have our glamour addictions

#

nothing to be ashamed of 😄

autumn oriole
#

Crafting an HQ lvl 50 item is pretty easy for level 60+ crafters, and it only takes two buttons for lvl 80 crafters

slim jackal
#

Hi hi. So I have the exp ring and some food for exp buff. Is there anything else you guys would recommend to stack on that ? Only level 23 so trying to max fast haha

glossy flare
#

Not really, it doesn't matter much for your first class anyway

#

because MSQ give crazy amounts of xp

slim jackal
#

Ohhhh

simple bolt
#

you could do potd if you're trying to level fast, but i'd only do it on an alt

glossy flare
#

Which you'll have to complete to access endgame content anyway

slim jackal
#

Thanks everyone

glossy flare
#

in general doing MSQ only will overlevel you by about 10 levels at the start

#

the headstart will shrink with time but you'll never really have problems

slim jackal
#

Even without doing side quests ?

glossy flare
#

yes

slim jackal
#

Ah ok

#

Sweet

glossy flare
#

and if you do have to do other content to catch up I would recommend dungeons

#

sidequests uhm... they sure exist in this game

autumn oriole
#

Ignore side quests except those with ‘+’ signs

glossy flare
#

and they have purpose... maybe

slim jackal
#

So do all With +

glossy flare
#

yes, those unlock new stuff

simple bolt
#

if you do the daily roulettes while doing the msq on the same job you'll def overlevel the msq in the beginning

analog gate
#

some sidequest gives emotes

autumn oriole
#

Try to feed roulette exp into your alt jobs

#

And always keep your msq job right at the required level to get the most out of the exp

slim jackal
#

How does one feed roulette exp into already job? Are you saying just do the dungeon on an alt first dungeon of the day ?

#

Alt *

#

Alt job *

glossy flare
#

Yes

slim jackal
#

Ah ok

glossy flare
#

Each roulette has a daily bonus

slim jackal
#

Oh? There’s more than one ? Oh boy lol.

glossy flare
#

You'll unlock them over time

autumn oriole
#

Guildhest roulette is the worst btw

split nebula
#

side quest EXP really needs to be increased

glossy flare
#

Just do msq

autumn oriole
#

And it’s the first one unlocked

slim jackal
#

So guildhest is not worth doing once you unlock the other ones ?

glossy flare
#

Not really

twilit arch
#

guildhests aren't really worth doing past like level 30 or so

#

tbh i wouldn't bother unlocking guildhests in general

autumn oriole
#

They are decent for around level 10 or 15

#

But ignoring them won’t let you miss anything either

split nebula
#

guildhest needs to be pretty much redone as a tutorial that explains all the different signifiers and mechanics of combat

glossy flare
#

I mean, some guildhests do just that

whole wasp
#

I only finished them once each to get the checkmark and achivement

granite swan
#

Guildhests are a nice way to TRY and get Squad Recruits tho

slim jackal
#

Squad is this games word for guild right ?

past lantern
#

Which tank would you recommend for someone who's never tanked before and has tanxiety and just doesn't like WAR(just feels boring tbh)

glossy flare
#

and the hall of the novice stuff does an okay job of serving as an actual tutorial

split nebula
#

correct, but it's not really how a tutorial should be done

granite swan
#

no Grand Company Squadrons

glossy flare
#

which obviously doesn't explain evereything

slim jackal
#

Oh ok

autumn oriole
#

Getting squadron to 8 was really easy for me and I never worried about that

split nebula
#

i've never been in there

granite swan
#

Free Company is the games guild :p

whole wasp
#

DRK to start at level 30. Its striaghtforward and has nice story.

slim jackal
#

Thanks everyone for being so nice

whole wasp
#

So you dont have to slog through lvl 1

granite swan
#

ya getting 8 is ez, its getting specific ones you want thats hard :p

whole wasp
#

Then consider playing GNB at 60

glossy flare
#

well you should because it's exactly what you want as a tutorial 🙂 @split nebula

split nebula
#

if its good enough then guildhests should just be removed

glossy flare
#

plus it gives you a free set of decent gear for beginner characters

I am unable to play Final Fantasy XIV! I keep getting "The lobby server encountered an error 5006" Does anybody know what the problem could be?

slim jackal
#

Do free companies give any buffs ?

simple bolt
#

wasnt there a ring that gives an xp boost for people under a certain level while worn

#

the brand new ring or something

granite swan
#

Doing Hall of the Novice atleast once is awesome, you get a 30% XP ring that works till lv 30

autumn oriole
#

When I have enough time, I do all the roulettes except guildhest. The pvp one is pretty good too

whole wasp
#

Guildhests are there because its not worth the effort of removing and its a nice dip in the pond for people who havent tried dungeons.

glossy flare
#

yes, free companies can give you buffs (depending on rank and what the fc spends their points on)

slim jackal
#

Ohh. I need to join an FC.

glossy flare
#

How it works is that the leader (or anyone with the rights to do so) can spend a special currency to activate 24h buffs for the entire FC

past lantern
#

@whole wasp Got lvl 60 GNB, but it just got way too many skills off the bat that is a bit overwhelming. DRK starts at 30? PLD is not recommended for new tank players or is it just more complex?

glossy flare
#

the currency is gathered by the members just doing stuff

whole wasp
#

Fc buff is pretty minor wo dont worry too hard about it.

calm phoenix
#

Judging by the lack of responses, I am the ONLY PERSON who is having this problem!!! 😦

uh question about ffxiv weddings

but yeah, it's a pretty minor buff

paper thing that i got from the reservation on accident

#

is this fucked

whole wasp
#

@past lantern yes DRK at 30. PLD is also fine but you start at lvl 1. Can get boring.

unreal aspen
#

i still have the bracelet thin

calm phoenix
#

Why is nobody helping me???

split nebula
#

does the game send you to the beginner's hall at all? i have a friend who just started the game, it'd probably do him good to go there

glossy flare
#

Why is nobody helping me???
@calm phoenix Sorry, genuinely no idea

past lantern
#

@whole wasp If it wasn't for the leveling thing.. which would you recommend?

split nebula
#

im not sure where they all are, i remember seeing one in west la noscea

glossy flare
#

an NPC to access it is posted before the entrance of the first dungeon you do

#

doesn't get more on the nose than that 😄

whole wasp
#

PLD is very strong and they gor a magic phase and a physical phase. DRK become ssuper fun at 70 with the shield spell. GNB plays like a DPS

slim jackal
#

does the game send you to the beginner's hall at all? i have a friend who just started the game, it'd probably do him good to go there
@split nebula eventually a MSQ took me to that one. You could open up recommended quests and every single one of them will show up there one by one.

whole wasp
#

Honestly i play DRK becuase the lore is cool.

cedar compass
#

Can you glamour from the armory? Or need to place the piece in the glamour chest

glossy flare
#

yeah, the game really tries to get you in there despite it being optional, technically

#

which is good, the tutorials are nice

split nebula
#

ok cool

vocal shell
#

You can @cedar compass

glossy flare
#

Can you glamour from the armory? Or need to place the piece in the glamour chest
@cedar compass You can create glamour plates from both these locations, however you can also glamour from your inventory

split nebula
#

beginner's hall was added years after launch, ive never had a reason to go there

past lantern
#

@whole wasp Not really into the lore all that much. Just want something that feels a bit more fluid than WAR. Personally not a fan of WAR's AoE.. that cone just feels pretty small

slim jackal
#

beginner's hall was added years after launch, ive never had a reason to go there
@split nebula 30 % ring and decent starting gear 😄

glossy flare
#

Choose DRK and increase your dps by the amount of black dye you use

#

it works

whole wasp
#

Only war has cone AoE.thr others have circular AoE

granite swan
#

real dark knights use Pure White :p

split nebula
#

well i dont think i have anything under level 30 though lol

glossy flare
#

real dark knights use Pure White :p
@granite swan Heresy!

split nebula
#

does it work on blue mage? XD

autumn oriole
#

Warrior’s AOE is exactly why I enjoy it. It makes positioning more interesting

simple bolt
#

@calm phoenix I looked around online for a fix for error 5006, all i could find were people saying to try changing to a different data center from the main menu, then switching back to your data center

autumn oriole
#

It has to cone aoe into circle aoe

glossy flare
#

Warrior is genuinely the most straight forward tank of the game though, I personally enjoy all the others more just for being... more 🤔

#

plus gunblades

#

they be cool

past lantern
#

Warrior is just too simple for my taste

raw dagger
#

I'm getting sudden frame rate issues. This just started like 30 minutes ago, it hasn't ever happened before. Any suggestion on fixing it?

autumn oriole
#

Warrior’s main interesting thing for me is its aoe combo positioning

glossy flare
#

usually some problem on your end (other stuff eating up resources for example)

autumn oriole
#

Other tanks have boring AOEs

glossy flare
#

true, low level dungeons are super boring with just spamming the same button over and over again

simple bolt
#

check task manager if anything else is using a lot of your CPU and RAM @raw dagger

past lantern
#

"face target" should this be on or off when tanking? with it off it makes healing easier, but makes dpsing harder

glossy flare
#

I turned it off because it's annoying for gaze attacks

unreal aspen
#

fr what do i do if i accidetnally discared my wedding reservation thing?

#

my friend had the option to enter the chapel when talking to etoinelle

#

but i dont have the option

simple bolt
#

ok good so im not the only one that got hit by a gaze because i thought casting a spell at the mob was a good idea

glossy flare
#

shhh

#

😄

raw dagger
#

@simple bolt nope, cpu and ram usage seems fine. Does restarting game usually fix this?

simple bolt
#

yeah sometimes my game performance just tanks for no reason

#

restarting the game usually does fix it

#

if not, i'd try restarting your pc

raw dagger
#

Thanks!

slim jackal
#

Are queue times end game bad ? I guess I should ask what is the average y’all wait and what role

simple bolt
#

healers and tanks are usually near instant queue

calm phoenix
#

I logged out at a sanctuary last night but NO rest XP this morning! I have NOT leveled up at all since I got on! Does anybody know what the problem could be?

twilit arch
#

are you absolutely certain you were in a sanctuary

calm phoenix
#

Sitting on a bench in Revenant's Toll. It said that it was a sanctuary

twilit arch
#

can you post a screenshot of your exp bar

raw dagger
#

If there's no 20 sec timer when you log out then you're definitely in a sanctuary

calm phoenix
#

No 20 second timer

twilit arch
#

you have rested exp

#

that dark gold part of the bar is it

calm phoenix
#

Where is the green bar then?

simple bolt
#

its green when it carries to the next level

glossy flare
#

it's only green if your rested bonus extends to your next lvl

twilit arch
#

the blue only shows if you have enough rested xp to progress into the next level

stable herald
#

Erm, the basic standard steps and technical steps arent a dps loss right?

glossy flare
#

since they buff you, no

stable herald
#

Just got told to only use steps when buff is wearing off rather than having it on CD

twilit arch
#

Who ever told you that is dumb

#

use them on cd

stable herald
#

That was.. confusing

twilit arch
#

they are your hardest hitting spells

simple shore
#

Its literally your hardest hitting ability

glossy flare
#

exactly

#

plus technical step buffs your whole group

stable herald
#

Alright. Because i was scratching my head on that

simple bolt
#

was it a tank that told you that

cedar compass
#

I just got a retainer but i dont see where can i send them to ventures or anything like that to level them up

magic light
#

whoever told you that

#

is an idiot

stable herald
#

But then again, when they DNC, they had standard step that wore off regularly in a dungeon namazuconcern

glossy flare
#

ventures need to be unlocked via a separate quest

twilit arch
#

you need to do the quest "an ill-conceived venture" before you can send them out on ventures

magic light
#

standard step's used on cd

#

whoever they are, they're a idiot

stable herald
#

Thanks friends. I thought i was going crazy

magic light
#

to the point they'd preach it onto others

glossy flare
#

you might still be going crazy, just saying

stable herald
#

Aye. But at least I'll have top dps as dnc

glossy flare
#

that's a nice spot to be crazy in

twilit arch
#

both standard and technical step have very high potencies to make up for the fact you're using 2-4 gcds to get it off

glossy flare
#

unlike me who always gets outclassed by the damn mch when he plays sam

#

(I'm that kind of bad)

calm phoenix
#

The imperial disguise is level 1 armor. I hope that I am not required to fight anything while wearing it. It was hard enough that a mudpuppy keeps respawning right next to Cid when required to talk to him in the disguise

glossy flare
#

I may have bad news for you

twilit arch
#

You don't

magic light
#

you don't need to wear it after talkingto cid

twilit arch
#

you can swap your gear before the fight

glossy flare
#

really? my friend recently did the quest and complained about not being allowed to change gear

magic light
#

when and which part of it

#

i managed another alt through arr

#

swappped off to normal gear

#

dialogue simply changes to "covert imperial agents"

glossy flare
#

not sure I'm just going by her complaining 😄

magic light
#

or something

#

i'm very sure of mine

#

you can swap gear

glossy flare
#

pretty sure it was the escape from castrum one

magic light
#

even that

#

immediately after entering, i just swapped gear

glossy flare
#

well good to know

twilit arch
#

recently did that on my alt and was able to swap gear before having to fight

magic light
#

and even before that

half kraken
#

When do you lose the road to 70 buff?

glossy flare
#

when you hit 70

#

or if the server loses the buff

twilit arch
#

no

#

you're assured 90 days with the buff

#

even if you get a job to 70, the moment you switch back to a job below it you will get the buff again

half kraken
#

Ooh

simple bolt
#

what does the buff do

#

bonus xp?

calm phoenix
#

After the Minfilia cutscene, is it safe to swap gear or do I still need the disguise?

twilit arch
#

unless the server remains preferred after those 90 days, then you'll keep it until the server stops being preferred

hot eagle
#

doubles all the exp u get

glossy flare
#

huh, didnt know about the 90 days

#

but yeah sorry my "when you hit 70" was a bit confusing

simple bolt
#

why was that not a thing when i was leveling

glossy flare
#

you obviously regain it when switching to a job that isnt 70 yet

vocal shell
#

It’s only in preferred servers

glossy flare
#

it's basically an enticement to get people to populate some servers

calm phoenix
#

Nobody knows?

twilit arch
#

you should be safe to swap after that cutscene

potent lava
#

so that trick to get a paid player to party two FT players together
they only have to be all in the same datacenter right? different worlds dont matter?

twilit arch
#

ya, doesn't matter if you're on different servers. just needs to be same datacenter

calm phoenix
#

No. I cannot progress without in uniform. I talk to the guys with the quest marker and they complain that I am NOT in uniform

twilit arch
#

after you've talked to all of those dudes then, you can swap

calm phoenix
#

It WILL NOT even progress WHILE in uniform

potent lava
#

are you sure you're saluting?

twilit arch
#

you need to /imperialsalute them

eager plume
#

Can free trial account be upgraded via mogstation?

potent lava
#

they'll just comment "wow where's youre uniform dude? anyway"

simple bolt
#

yes

#

you just log into mogstation and click on the button that says manage service options

calm phoenix
#

Do I get the magitek armor mount after this part of the story? I had to test the one we got from the battle yesterday so I am wondering if they are connected in any way

twilit arch
#

you get it later

potent lava
#

I've been getting mixed signals on this
can you actually jump over Titan's Geocrush

vocal shell
#

don’t think you can jump over any aoe

#

your hitbox isn’t it the air afaik

#

imagine a straight line from A to B

simple bolt
#

lol i've heard people tell me that sometimes the hitbox doesnt move until you land

#

and get hit by aoe's on their previous location

agile laurel
#

yeah XIV spaghetticode means whenever you appear to not be on the floor, you're actually on the floor

#

special regard to dragoons

twilit arch
#

the only thing i've seen dodged by jumping is the balls in puppet's bunker but i question that tweet's veracity

agile laurel
#

i imagine you can dodge those with less than stellar ping

#

cause I've had some 'oh money back' moments with them

simple bolt
#

i love dragoons

#

they're my favorite meme and source of comedy in game

calm phoenix
#

Magitek Vanguard H-1 is immune to EVERYTHING! Please Help!!!

twilit arch
#

pay attention to the npc's dialogue. they tell you that you need to find a generator and disable it

vale sage
#

Any way to unlock flying quickly/instantly? Paid options included?

simple bolt
#

not for the current expansion that i know of

twilit arch
#

Get a friend to fly you to the open world aether currents

#

or buy an msq skip

simple bolt
#

buying the msq progression skip items in the optional items gives you flying in that expac's regions i think

#

but none exist for shadowbringers yet

lament lava
#

hi

#

i look for a french discord for this game did someone can help me ?

vale sage
#

Then how does someone fly on non expansion regions?

twilit arch
#

do believe there's some FR discords linked in #resources @lament lava

tidal yarrow
#

TEA is the last ultimate released?

magic light
#

latest

twilit arch
#

ARR regions just require you to complete the main scenario quest "The Ultimate Weapon" to fly

magic light
#

not last

tidal yarrow
#

what's the difference?

magic light
#

last = final

twilit arch
#

i mean it is the last one released because no other has been released yet

magic light
#

latest = current/newest

calm phoenix
#

ARR regions just require you to complete the main scenario quest "The Ultimate Weapon" to fly
@twilit arch I was always told that was a quest in Heavensward. Was I lied to?

twilit arch
#

thats being a bit pedantic about wording my dude

agile laurel
#

no

tidal yarrow
#

okay thanks

agile laurel
#

that's how it was before the most recent patch

twilit arch
#

expansion zones have a different system for unlocking flying

agile laurel
#

only the most recent patch allowed flying before Heavensward

potent lava
#

they bumped it down so you can fly earlier

vale sage
#

ARR regions just require you to complete the main scenario quest "The Ultimate Weapon" to fly
@twilit arch After completing that quest, is there another one you have to do to unlock ARR region flying?

twilit arch
#

no

vale sage
#

Ah cool, thanks

#

Does MSQ have to be completed once? Or every job you become?

simple bolt
#

@vale sage just once

vocal shell
#

There’s a ramp

#

up to there

#

nearby

vale sage
#

Cool thanks!

simple bolt
#

wow

calm phoenix
#

I knew that from my brother-in-law. It is a good idea to skip a lot of the side quests in case you want to level something else up. But you should do all the side quests with the + symbol during your regular playthrough

simple bolt
#

yeah that's what i do

#

the + symbol quests unlock new content

vocal shell
simple bolt
#

So i know that macros for combat aren't recommended, but what about a macro that uses a different action based on whether the target is an enemy or an ally

#

for example i have a macro that casts Dia on enemies, but Regen on friendly targets

potent lava
#

Therea no way of hiding quests you dont want on the map is there
Every time I go through gridania i feel guilty for those lvl <10 quest I didnt do

sick osprey
#

how do i get ilvl430 ring/belt/earring/ect ?

abstract harbor
#

Fairly new to FFXIV, went to install MoogleShade to make the game look a little better & faced with this after installing, been troubleshooting online and nothing seems to be working for me. Any suggestions?

#

Also yes, i have tried updating dx11

green grail
#

i think level 80 dungeon drops are 430? but its really low ilvl so its not something worth actively seeking out

#

do level 80 content and buy 460 accesories with phantasmagoria

sick osprey
#

do i really have to start farming gear just to progress MSQ ?

green grail
#

if you mean the newer dungeons requiring higher ilvl then yes

abstract harbor
#

Is there a way i can verify my install files or something to fix this issue as im sure i have the latest version of DX installed

simple bolt
#

the program might depend on a specific version of DX runtime

calm phoenix
#

Should I be buying venture tokens early on or should I be saving my company seals for ranking up in my grand company?

simple bolt
#

or actually

abstract harbor
#

It doesn't say anything about that in the installation settings on their website, it's just adding some files to the /game folder of FFXIV and that somehow breaks the launching of the game. I'll try launching with the DX11 support disabled for the sake of it?

simple bolt
#

oh. i think i know

#

when was that last updated?

abstract harbor
#

I have no idea, is it possibly outdated?

simple bolt
#

thats what im thinking

gloomy mortar
#

Can you store outdoor furnishings in your FC room? Or just indoor furnishings

simple bolt
#

it had you drop some directx or dll into your game im assuming?

abstract harbor
#

I can send the Zip it had me stick in there if you'd like

#

there is a file in there named "dxgi.dll", guessing that's the cause?

simple bolt
#

did you get prompted about overwriting files when you installed it

calm phoenix
#

No answer?

abstract harbor
#

Nope. Is there a way i can delete the extra files i put in there and do a "verification" like on steam? (i'm on the FFXIV Launcher)

calm phoenix
#

Nobody can answer my question?

simple bolt
#

i think the shaders are built on an older version of directx than what you have installed. Simply removing the files you dropped in should work i'd think as long as no files were overwritten

abstract harbor
#

I'll try that now

#

@calm phoenix Sorry for drowning out your question, once i've solved this i'll be out of the way for you to ask again ;p

#

Still doesn't fix it @simple bolt, Same error message.

calm phoenix
#

Just an FYI if anybody ever does overwrite files, what I do is back the original files up. I just add .bak to the end of the file name so I do not have to move it to another folder. Like that readme.txt, it would become readme.txt.bak

abstract harbor
#

I should have known better to do that. But in a moment of naivety i didn't backup my base files before i added ones to it, though i'm not recalling it overwriting anything

simple bolt
#

im shocked that a company as big as SE couldnt implement a file verifier built into the game client

abstract harbor
#

Me too, honestly

simple bolt
#

one sec lemme pull up my laptop's installation and see if you're missing ffiles

#

i have shaders installed but didnt have a problem

abstract harbor
#

okie dokie

#

I could try adding a different shader, hoping whatever file i may be missing is replaced with one from the shader pack, though that might just damage the problem more than it'll help

calm phoenix
#

To find out what files you may have put in there, look at the date modified of those files and see what does not make sense. If it has today's date for instance, that is suspicious as nothing was added/updated today

simple bolt
#

only file that looked like it was probably outdated was the dxgi.dll

#

2018

calm phoenix
#

I am very computer savvy so I am good with tech support

simple bolt
#

but that's not part of the base game'

abstract harbor
#

I installed the game today, is the issue

#

after removing the extra files everything seems fine

simple bolt
#

oh so it worked then?

abstract harbor
#

No sorry i'll rephrase

calm phoenix
#

Could you try uninstalling and reinstalling?

abstract harbor
#

the date modified seems fine

#

the game still doesn't launch

#

that's a hopeful last resort. I would rather not wait another couple hours

calm phoenix
#

What OS?

abstract harbor
#

Win10

calm phoenix
#

Then I do not know. Runs fine on my Windows 10. I know that Windows 7 and 8 do have some issues with the game but mostly Windows 7 so

simple bolt
#

was the game working before you added shaders into it

abstract harbor
#

It ran fine before i attempted to install Moogleshade.

#

Yeah

simple bolt
#

okay

#

yeah

#

thats really weird

abstract harbor
#

I think that a fresh uninstall reinstall would fix it but i really don't want to do that

simple bolt
#

you can see if windows made a backup of your files

#

and try restoring from a restore point

calm phoenix
#

Download moogleshade again, look at what files that are in the zip, and try only deleting those from the folder

abstract harbor
#

No i think i just found the problem 1 sec

#

yeah fixed it

simple bolt
#

what was it

abstract harbor
calm phoenix
#

Was going to ask the same

abstract harbor
#

I pulled these files back from my recycle bin

gloomy mortar
#

@calm phoenix Save up your GC seals to rank up. Get Venture tokens by doing beast quests

abstract harbor
#

was trouble shooting in the StormShade discord too as that's what i'm going to use now :p

simple bolt
#

yeah i was gonna recommend trying that out

#

i use a different one but it's pretty much the same thing

keen goblet
#

Trying to complete a quest that requires me to apply a materia to this staff, but it wont let me?
What am I doing wrong

abstract harbor
#

Ah nvm Stormshade is outdated too

calm phoenix
#

@calm phoenix Save up your GC seals to rank up. Get Venture tokens by doing beast quests
@gloomy mortar Like the Sylphs beast quests? That is all I have for beastmen quests right now

abstract harbor
#

Gshade it is

simple bolt
#

i use gshade

#

@keen goblet check the base item level requirement on the materia's tooltip

keen goblet
simple bolt
#

yeah

#

the vendor should sell them i think

gloomy mortar
#

@calm phoenix Yeah, Id do the Ixal quests too at least, but you can do any of them. You get 2 Ventures per quest completed I believe

keen goblet

Ok there we go, thank you @simple bolt 😄

How much does it costs to buy a home approximately :p

you cant enter one as a trial account

It a giant banner with a picture of a chocobo on it. You can redeem code if you havent bought your first sub

even if you buy the game

You'll immediately get the rewards

but neither of us did

It said the code was entered in successfully

You should get an email

simple bolt

@near wedge you can go into your character settings and go to the hotbar settings > Custom, and you could disable all hotbars except the one you want

calm phoenix
#

Never did. This was August 11

vocal shell
#

I got an email for mine

simple bolt
#

you can still switch hotbars by holding the bumper and the corresponding button

vocal shell
#

If you didn't get an email it probably didn't work

#

looks something like this

calm phoenix
#

No email, my sister and I did not get anything despite the fact that it said that it was entered in successfully. My sister then told me that I need to pay for a subscription in order for us to get the items

If you pay for a subscription you lose the ability for recruitee rewards

top right

near wedge
#

@simple bolt thanks that worked!

calm phoenix
#

I was told that I needed to enter it in before I bought the subscription, which I did, but it would not be applied until after I bought a subscription

vocal shell
#

You get chocobo feathers as a reward for them putting in your code

#

However for extra rewards they need to be subbed for X amount of days

#

Refer to this

analog gate
#

uh, no actually
you don't get anything for just entering a code
i just checked the RAF site

simple bolt
#

Am i able to join the novice network ingame again if i get invited

analog gate
#

your first rewards will be on 30 days sub

vocal shell
#

I got my chocobo feathers immediately 🤷‍♀️

analog gate
#

probably for creating a char in preferred world

#

your recruiter, however, gets their first rewards once you enter the code

vocal shell
#

i was a recruiter and a recruitee

#

and immediately got my silver

#

ones

#

within the day atleast

calm phoenix
#

I just tried entering it in again (she texted it to me back on August 11) but it tells me that I already used this code but neither of us got anything from it. No feathers

vocal shell
#

does it say in the mogstation

#

it should say you have recruited X amount of people

analog gate
#

yes, the recruiter gets silver feathers immediately
the recruitee does not

vocal shell
#

recruiter does not get silver feathers

analog gate
#

*gold mb

vocal shell
#

Hold on

analog gate
vocal shell
#

ok i was wrong

cunning night
#

is there an channel for players to make new friends and play together with them? xD

vocal shell
#

ultiga was right

#

mb

#

im a bit rarted

#

just reread everything

simple bolt
#

@cunning night you can join a free company

calm phoenix
#

That just tells you about it

vocal shell
#

recruiter should get their rewards immediately tho

leaden ginkgo
#

can free trials join FC's?

vocal shell
#

no

#

they cannot

#

you should have

#

something like this

#

on your mogstation

#

if you dont then the code didn't work

calm phoenix
#

My sister recruited me and I was told that we both was supposed to get items but as I said, neither of us did

cunning night
#

@simple bolt alright, but not sure what to look out for in a Free company. any idea? :/

analog gate
#

your sister should get them, have she tried checking her mog mail?

calm phoenix
#

@simple bolt alright, but not sure what to look out for in a Free company. any idea? :/
@cunning night If you have friends that play, I suggest being in a free company of just friends

simple bolt
#

That or just join one aimed around what you're looking for

median locust
#

On that link, I only see rewards for when the person who entered the code subscribes for 30 days

#

so might have to wait until the first time you pay sub

#

cause buying the game doesn't count

cunning night
#

@cunning night If you have friends that play, I suggest being in a free company of just friends
@calm phoenix currently i'm playing alone haha. i will look around thanks! @simple bolt @calm phoenix 🙂

crude marten
#

When will FFXIV end? Development-wise, like 2 more expansions?

simple bolt
#

What level are you @cunning night

median locust
#

They aren't planning to have it end yet

#

They said it'd keep going as long as it made money probably

#

for how long it would last you could look at FF11

#

which came out in... 2001? And is still getting updates every once in a while, to this day

crude marten
#

testament huh

simple bolt
#

wait that came out in 2002?

#

i didnt know that was that old

median locust
#

just looked it up, 2002

#

but yeah

crude marten
#

lets see what square will bust out for the ps5 gen.. hopefully by then the hardware can do more

median locust
#

if there's a port

crude marten
#

i want more from the mmo

gritty oracle
#

Is there a Crystal Eureka discord server?

crude marten
#

genre, specially FF

calm phoenix
#

How do I take my Chocobo out of the stables at the free company house? I seem to not have the option to

median locust
gritty oracle
#

Thanks!

cunning night
#

@simple bolt currently i'm level 55 in Tonberry

crude marten
#

do all mounts have the same move speed and the difference is purely aesthetic?

median locust
#

Yes, all mounts move at exactly the same speed

#

One exception is the SRS Fenrir from Mogstation which goes at 1 star speed minimum at all times, but that's the speed you unlock through doing MSQ normally, so it's not a huge deal

#

definitely not something you should spend 30 dollars for lol

calm phoenix
#

Nobody can answer me?

crude marten
#

I'm stuck at queue right now, sometimes the rpg trinity just doesnt cooperate

#

@median locust thanks mate

#

wanted to confirm since sometimes the mount speed bothers me

median locust
#

If your chocobo is in there, you should only have to interact with it, then Retrieve Chocobo or something

calm phoenix
#

It is there but no option to retrieve

median locust
#

Click Fetch

calm phoenix
#

Thank You. They could have made it more clear because it is technically not "tending"

median locust
#

I guess

open rivet
#

yeah FF11 is old af,
I remember playing it on my PS2

crude marten
#

What do you guys do when waiting for a damn long MSQ queue

open rivet
#

triple triad Kappa

crude marten
#

I want to finish Stormblood before taking a break from FFXIV

warped nest
#

In game, I go and do side quest, level crafter/gatherer

simple bolt
#

im a healer so i cant relate

warped nest
#

Outside, I just chat on discord, read stuff, or watch YouTube

median locust
#

yeah youtube mostly

crude marten
#

@simple bolt i queued as a healer too

median locust
#

If you wanna be productive, farm fates for the yokai event in the meantime

crude marten
#

i main nin/whm

simple bolt
#

whats the queue time

crude marten
#

whm gave me 29m earlier

simple bolt
#

wha-

crude marten
#

Im stuck at the Royal managerie

median locust
#

oh yeah

#

old trials

simple bolt
#

do you have to duty finder it

#

can you unsync them

median locust
#

can't unsync Shinryu without like 4 people

simple bolt
#

oh you're doing sb msq lol

crude marten
#

sometimes it will troll me, saying 2/2, 1/2, 4/4

#

then go zeroes again

rocky olive
#

Can anyone help me create a party on Kujata?

thin kestrel
#

why is AST card draw play to get seals so inconsistent, i'm clearly in combat, i use play on someone, and i don't get a seal. what do i need to be doing? just wasting cards on people without getting seals for divination

proud willow
#

that's probably because you have multiple languages checked?

#

You only get a seal for playing a card if you're in combat

#

so toss your dot first

dapper oyster
#

i usually hit with dot first

#

since its instant

median locust
#

You have to be in combat + they have to be in combat

jade quartz
#

If you haven't attacked the enemy, or healed/buffed a party member who has attacked the enemy, you're not in combat

proud willow
#

can an AST main confirm that? I don't think your target has to be in combat

jade quartz
#

i.e. you have to have enemies on your enemy list

median locust
#

It says so on the tooltip

dapper oyster
#

uh... me?

thin kestrel
#

they have to be in combat too.. ugh... thanks fissie

median locust
#

And I've played enough AST to know lol

dapper oyster
#

lvl 80 ast here

jade quartz
#

The tooltip does not specify that the target player has to be in combat

proud willow
#

^

warped nest
#

You yourself need to be in combat

thin kestrel
#

it says i have to be in combat. i am in combat. i have list of enemies on the bottom left. i use a card on someone. i don't get a seal. science explain?

median locust
#

Just checked again and yeah it doesn't, but I'm 99% certain your target has to be in combat as well

thin kestrel
#

i think fissie is right

warped nest
#

OK then

simple bolt
#

the cards themselves say "grants ___ seal when used in combat"

thin kestrel
#

that could imply both targets have to be in combat

simple bolt
#

yeah its bad wording

#

i didnt know that either

twilit arch
#

no, your target doesn't have to be in combat

warped nest
#

All I know is, I definitely need to be in combat. And my party member usually are too, so...

twilit arch
#

all that matters is that you have to be in combat

thin kestrel
#

i think that's wrong kael

warped nest
#

One way or another

jade quartz
#

Now that Kael says it I feel more comfortable backing it up

#

because that was also my belief.

twilit arch
#

I've played cards on dps who haven't hit a target yet and have gotten my seal

warped nest
#

It still doesn't change how to play drastically

proud willow
#

and mine

twilit arch
#

because I was in combat

median locust
#

I've had it fail a lot in dungeons when I was in combat but the person I targetted was still running to the mob pack

thin kestrel
#

it says i have to be in combat. i am in combat. i have list of enemies on the bottom left. i use a card on someone. i don't get a seal. science explain?
@thin kestrel

#

still

median locust
#

anyway, not really a point arguing it without actual evidence if we're saying opposite things

thin kestrel
#

i literally just used it on a dragoon while i was in combat and didnt get a seal again

#

i--

median locust
#

are you level 50

#

in the dungeon

#

If you get synced below 50, there's no seals

thin kestrel
#

its 50+

#

i have divination

jade quartz
#

Or if the enemy you were in combat with died just as you were applying the card

#

leaving you no longer in combat

warped nest
#

Test it in with striking dummy, in a controlled environment

#

To get conclusive answer

open rivet
#

Will the Firmament items & 500k skyward points achievements stay when the next stage of building happens,
or do I have to start power-playing to get stuff done before it's gone?

thin kestrel
#

to confirm, what qualifies as in combat for ast? having a list of green enemies on the bottom left? or red enemies? or both?

jade quartz
#

Any enemies in enemy list

calm phoenix
#

How TF do you get past all the guards at the Imperial Outpost! Six of them gang up on me and ALWAYS kill me swiftly 😠

warped nest
#

Party with someone, you use malefic, then you play a card

#

The someone will do nothing for the first time

thin kestrel
#

so then this is just inconsistent and bugged then because i always use it when i have enemies in enemy list.....

calm phoenix
#

I do not have anybody to party with right now

warped nest
#

Then reset everything, and try to test again with the someone hitting the enemy first before you make your move

#

so then this is just inconsistent and bugged then because i always use it when i have enemies in enemy list.....
@thin kestrel not impossible, we did get some small AST overhaul from 5.3

thin kestrel
#

so you think

#

bugs dont exist

#

in games?

proud willow
#

I don't think there is a bug that is affecting only you and not other ASTs

warped nest
#

I said it is not impossible

thin kestrel
#

OH

#

i thought you said

#

not possible

#

sorry

median locust
#

Cast a few Malefics while your party member is nearby, doing nothing, then apply a card. See if you get a seal.
Have your party member attack a few times, apply a card, see if you get a seal.
Assuming you have someone handy anyway

NPCs and PCs are taking a long time to load for me in since the last patch, like a full 10 seconds. I haven't had this issue before, or at least not to this magnitude. Is this due to poor connection, server load or hardware issue? I have 8 gbs of RAM and the game's on an SSD.

thin kestrel
#

@proud willow people are having similar problems, as you can see...

calm phoenix
#

NOBODY going to respond?

proud willow
#

what Imperial Outpost?

#

by Wineport?

warped nest
#

How TF do you get past all the guards at the Imperial Outpost! Six of them gang up on me and ALWAYS kill me swiftly 😠
@calm phoenix is this in a dungeon or...?

calm phoenix
#

No. Operation Archon near Vesper Bay

thin kestrel
#

for all open world stuff, use chocobo. they are the answer

calm phoenix
#

I tried that but there are too many of them. Chocobo is useless in that area

warped nest
#

Use your long distance skill to pull one toward you

halcyon rune
#

Maybe you are undergeared?

leaden ginkgo
#

Get fishing / mining / botany to 46 >> use stealth to avoid enemies

calm phoenix
#

no I am overgeared since my brother-in-law gave me some later level 50 gear

simple shore
#

Then there's no reason for you to be having trouble.

warped nest
#

no I am overgeared since my brother-in-law gave me some later level 50 gear
@calm phoenix can you take a screenshot

#

Just to be sure

calm phoenix
open rivet
#

you're undergeared, most likely

simple shore
#

No they arent

warped nest
#

NQ stuff are not very good

calm phoenix
#

NQ?

thin kestrel
#

summoner? use titan to tank and buff your defense? with chocobo?

simple shore
#

ilvl 64 is still more than sufficient to complete that quest

green grail
#

max ilvl at 50 is 130 so you're definitely not overgeared

warped nest
#

Your accessories are craftable

calm phoenix
#

For this part of the story I am

warped nest
#

Craftable gears can be HQ or NQ

thin kestrel
#

use poetics to buy ironworks gear

warped nest
#

High or Normal Quality

#

Normal Quality gear have neutered stat

jade quartz
#

that gear should be fine for this situation.

proud willow
#

they don't have poetics if they're on Operation Archon

#

it's a level 49 quest

jade quartz
#

This is overworld enemies

grizzled mural
#

Hey so I beat shadowbringers msq how do I access the neir raid

simple shore
#

Yes, all of this talk about gear is irrelevant

jade quartz
#

not an instance or purple zone or anything

leaden ginkgo
#

the problem is not the gear.... just to pull single mobs and get rid of them

simple shore
#

they're ilvl 64 doing a 49 MSQ.

warped nest
#

Pull one mob with a long range skill

jade quartz
#

You just need to carefully avoid pulling multiple enemies.

simple shore
#

There is no reason they cant kill the targets.

calm phoenix
#

use poetics to buy ironworks gear
@thin kestrel I only have 30 poetics and that was from Wanderer's Palace

simple shore
#

which means either they're pulling too much at once

warped nest
#

Then kill them

simple shore
#

or

jade quartz
#

Remember, enemies in this game do have line of sight

#

you can sneak behind them.

simple shore
#

They're using the wrong abilities entirely

jade quartz
#

Try not to engage many at a time.

#

and sneak around the edges of the area.

#

That's all there is to it, really.

calm phoenix
#

which means either they're pulling too much at once
@simple shore I get aggroed by several as soon as I walk by

jade quartz
#

Then avoid walking by them

warped nest
#

Use long range skill to draw one enemy to you

#

Did my message get hidden?

simple shore
#

.....then kill them instead of trying to walk past them.

calm phoenix
#

Long range skill?

warped nest
#

You are a summoner

simple shore
#

You're a caster. You can attack from long range. There's no reason you should be getting into a fight with more than one at a time.

jade quartz
#

All of your attacks are long range.

calm phoenix
#

I thought that you meant to extend the range even further or something

halcyon rune
#

Use Titan pet to help you survive.

warped nest
#

Pick a target, slowly move toward them until you can cast you spell, cast a spell, wait for them to come to you

#

Start using more spell

median locust
#

One of Titan's Egi Assaults is a shield for 30% of your health which might help if you aggro too many at a time

I was told by the NPC that Titan replaced Carbunkle but which Carbuncle?

jade quartz

Summon II.

median locust

Summon 2

jade quartz
#

And use your chocobo as mentioned earlier

vital ruin
#

Can I buy the pumpkin orange dye anywhere

jade quartz

I think you might have misunderstood that

leaden ginkgo

If you are a summoner.... control your pets. Pull one mob with a dot and let the pet ony engage if the mobs is close to you - you know the drill

Referring not to riding your chocobo, but summoning your chocobo battle companion.
