[warped nest]

And they should be using AOE to maintain damage and aggro

[twilit arch]

no, the valor armour is not restricted. if you're talking about the coffer, it means you can only open it while not in an instance. The gear itself is useable anywhere @empty pecan

[empty pecan]

Oh okay then, no reason to use the Gallant stuff anymore then i suppose.

Thank you

[ionic topaz]

So, aparently after 1000 tries, the website took the money off my card and was able to buy a costume. Question: How do I get it in game? lol

[steep heron]

should be sent to you via Moogle mail

aka any mailbox

might take a couple hours tho

[ionic topaz]

Okay, thank you

[leaden ginkgo]

what does the star mean next to Hempen Tights and Rubber?

[twilit arch]

means they've got bonus for the day

so you get more from turning in those

[leaden ginkgo]

do i get a bonus for turning in more than what is asked for?

[twilit arch]

until you fill the quota

[leaden ginkgo]

so its 10 max?

[old crypt]

Does turning in HQ crafts for DoH beast tribes give more xp?

[leaden ginkgo]

oh this mean i can turn in max 30

[ember goblet]

hey thats my screenshott

[twilit arch]

unless the quest asks for HQ, there's no reason to craft it HQ @old crypt

[old crypt]

ahh ok thanks

[willow breach]

guys, i m wondering what i should be doing with my older gear. i have my retainer full of old useless gear i have no use for

do i just sell them to vendors

[glad comet]

sell it

or desynthesis it

[willow breach]

alright

even the high level ones?

[warped nest]

@willow breach once you reach 2nd leuitenant in your GC

[willow breach]

the level 80 gear drops from dungeons and such

[warped nest]

You can trade dungeon gears for GC seals

[willow breach]

ye i hve 50k/50k seals

and hunderds of gears in my retainer

[warped nest]

You can trade the GC seals for glacier crystal

600 seal Glacier can sell to NPC for 360 gils, last I check

[willow breach]

oh

[warped nest]

Other uses for GC seals: trade for retainer venturers, glamour prisms

[twilit arch]

i would look at the price of the crafting materials

and see if any of those sell decently

[willow breach]

still neeed a few more levels to unlock desynth

i believe i need lvl 30 on crafter to unlock desynth?

[warped nest]

Trading for Glacier crystal and sell them for gil is your plan F or G

[willow breach]

i think i might do that

[warped nest]

Venture, glamour prism, crafting mats (like fleece) are usually the more worthwhile options to spend you seals

[willow breach]

need more gil to level up weaver

[finite walrus]

forgot how to properly spoilertag..

[warped nest]

||spoiler, I shat myself||

||I didn't shat myself||

[finite walrus]

anyone know where to unlock ||kurenai|| custom deliveries? i did the quest chain ||and she just walked off||, what now???

[twilit arch]

[finite walrus]

yeah

am i supposed to do that first?

[finite walrus]

ah, kugane...

thanks

[warped nest]

Isn't there a quest line

In the underwater town

[finite walrus]

yeah i just finished it

[warped nest]

West of the kojin

Ahhh

[normal breach]

can retainers get clusters?

[warped nest]

Yes

Miner / Botanist can

[rugged flicker]

How do you load an already saved character appearance profile again? Not seeing this option on the character creation screen...

Oh there we go

[eager shore]

So I'm a bit confused, do only the top level crafts that reward Skyward Points count towards Ishgard restoration rankings or do the points from low level crafts also count?

[raven sage]

The crafts within your level range should be giving you points

[forest yacht]

How much hp does ||Compound 2P|| have?

[leaden ginkgo]

Is there a way for me to register my credit card info without paying extra 1 euro everytime i resub ?

[lone zephyr]

How can I get a super low level materia without narketboard?

I need to materia meld a cotton acton for a weaver quest

[left moth]

@forest yacht checked logs and approximately 83.4 mil. for an exact number I need to take a pot shot at it again (for weekly drop)

[sly vessel]

this is what i should buy right?

[proud willow]

That is what to buy if you do not have an account yet, or if you are currently playing the trial on PC (not Steam)

[sly vessel]

yes im still on trial

[proud willow]

also assuming that is for the same region as your trial account

[sly vessel]

but would it reset my progress if i buy

[proud willow]

No, not unless you make a whole new account

[sly vessel]

ahh that's good to know then

[lone zephyr]

also assuming that is for the same region as your trial account
Ok so

[leaden ginkgo]

Can someone answer my question please ?

Is there a way for me to register my credit card info without paying extra 1 euro everytime i resub ?
@leaden ginkgo

[lone zephyr]

I'm in Mexico rn, I GUESS the code I will get will be for the north american server right?

[untold sand]

is it possible to make a crafting chain macro that uses and crafts with a macro?

[proud willow]

I don't want to give an answer for the Mexico question and be wrong, I don't 100% know how the regions work

[granite swan]

@untold sand You can make a macro to do that for single crafts

[proud willow]

@leaden ginkgo the 1 Euro is refunded, right? it shouldn't be an extra charge on top of the subscription fee. But in any case, if you use your card to buy Crysta, you can have just one transaction per X months instead of one transaction per month

@proud willow according to my bank it doesn't get refunded plus i currently can only afford 1 month subscriptions

[pine mist]

I was curious how do i go about using trick attack on NIN? i can seem to ever activate it :o

[untold sand]

how @granite swan ?

cuz pressing ash lumber and crafting macro over and over is gonna be a biiit annoying

[little swift]

@pine mist you can do it once you level to 45

!action suiton

[zinc orbit]

**Suiton** : lvl 45 NIN (1.5 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Deals water damage with a potency of 600.
Additional Effect: Grants Suiton
Duration: 20s
Suiton Effect: Allows execution of actions which require the effect of Hidden, without being under that effect
Mudra Combination: Ten→Chi→Jin or Chi→Ten→Jin
Triggers the cooldown of weaponskills, mudra, and Ninjutsu upon execution.

※This action cannot be assigned to a hotbar.

Powered by XIVAPI

[little swift]

@untold sand nope cant get a macro to press craft for you

[granite swan]

Ash Lumber, you could just use Quick Synth right?

thats how you mass produce stuff

[pine mist]

@little swift ahhhh ok wow i should have read that thanks!

[little swift]

If he wants them hq no

[granite swan]

True

Atleast until much later, then its alot easier once your stats are higher right?

[untold sand]

cant u craft more than one piece at a time?

must i do it in stacks of one?

[warped nest]

You can quick synth, and it will craft the amount you wanted... One by one

[untold sand]

then i wont have the hq Xd

[warped nest]

Exactly, HQ in quick synth is RNG

It is manual labor after all

If you wanted a lot of HQ product, say 5 HQ lumber, you gonna do it 5 times

Or buy it from marketboard from other crafters

[lone zephyr]

I'm in Mexico rn, I GUESS the code I will get will be for the north american server right?
Re-sending just in case someone knows
pwp

[warped nest]

It doesn't care about your physical location

If you manage to buy one from the international space station, using the NA store

You will get NA account code

Take note that having a NA account doesn't limit you to playing on NA data center either

[lone zephyr]

If you manage to buy one from the international space station, using the NA store
International space what?

[warped nest]

The code you get

[plain python]

I think it is a metaphor

[warped nest]

Is determined by the store you get them from

It is not affected by your physical location

If you visit the NA Square Enix store

And buy a code

It will be NA code

And usable only for NA account (this account is not affected by your physical location either)

[lone zephyr]

I see

Thanks

[warped nest]

The region of your account only affects the purchases

[granite swan]

After playing a tank through 1 dungeon ... i see why they are squishy now ... their defensives have absurdly long recast lol

[warped nest]

This include paying subscription and buying/claiming expansion.

Your account region doesn't affect where you can put your character in, and where you play from.

You are supposed to cycle them around

Don't use all 5 in one go

[granite swan]

5? im only 33, i got 1 lol

[gusty pasture]

Hi im currently level 60s post HW, what'a the best use for allagan tomestones?

The red one you get from daily roulletes

[warped nest]

!faq poetics

[zinc orbit]

What should I spend my Poetics on? How do I get more?

Text guide on what to spend Tomestones of Poetics on

Video guide on how to get more Tomestones of Poetics

[gusty pasture]

Ohh thanks

[warped nest]

If you haven't already, spend it on getting augmented shire gears

[gusty pasture]

Page is disabled

Yeah got full shire gear for my tank but it's all I play

[warped nest]

Huh, <@&473626701947994134> Poetic guide has issue?

[gusty pasture]

It's sitting at 2k rn is it wise to spend for gear and acessories for jobs I don't currently play?

[warped nest]

5? im only 33, i got 1 lol
@granite swan noted. How many did you pull?

1 group, 2 group?

@gusty pasture if you plan to play them, sure

[obsidian patio]

Looks fine to me :/

[warped nest]

@gusty pasture can you screenshot what you see what you click the guide?

[autumn oriole]

If you plan to play other classes in the future, buying gears for other classes is a great way to use poetics

[warped nest]

Alternatively, you can buy and stock up materials for Anima weapons (Heavenswards relic weapon, has special VFX, for glamour)

[gusty pasture]

Might be a mobile issue. I'll check on my pc

[granite swan]

@warped nest a single group ... granted it was squadron healer, but it still felt like my hp dropped really fast

[twilit arch]

probably a mobile issue, since it works fine on pc for me. also not something mentors can do anything about as its a reddit issue all in all

[gusty pasture]

Wait wait, if shire gear is currently 270, how long would I be able to use that before it gets outdated by stormblood gear?

[twilit arch]

65

[warped nest]

Lvl 65 story

Emphasis on story

[twilit arch]

specifically 64 HQ white gear or 65 dungeon gear

[thin narwhal]

Where the fastest way to leveling after all daily roulette, fate or something else?

[warped nest]

Lvl 63 dungeon will drop gears at the same ilvl as the augmented shire

[gusty pasture]

Ahhh so quite a long time then. Alright I'll go pick up stuff for jobs I plan to play. I do want to be a dps for once in stormblood

How about the level 60 job coffer gear? Is it immediately replaced?

[autumn oriole]

They are worse than shire

[gusty pasture]

Or are those better off tossed into glamour dresser

[warped nest]

@granite swan not much advice I can offer for now, at lower level, where you don't have any tools, it is just what you wear + what the healer wear

Kael, the low level tank + LNC DRG gear are bad for tanks right?

[granite swan]

Guess ill try an actual dungeon or just stick to PoTD till 50 heh

[earnest void]

do sidequests change what rewards they give? I wanted to get some more armor so I searched for lvl 30 side quests and I got one in southern Thanalan that's called heat of the moment, the webpage said it would give me the option of choosing between there feet armor, but it only gave me gil and xp

[twilit arch]

if dungeon queues are <15mines, do highest level dungeon (barring 50/60/70 dungeons, do the 47/59/69 dungeons instead). If dungeon queues are >15minues, then potd (til 60), heaven on high (61-70), trust dungeons or fates/beast tribe/hunt bills while waiting in queue @thin narwhal

[thin narwhal]

Ty

[twilit arch]

no, generally if its tank+ lnc/drg is intended for tanks

with lnc/drg being added because ARR intended for them to be like off tanks

[warped nest]

Noted.

How about the level 60 job coffer gear? Is it immediately replaced?
@gusty pasture if I remember correctly, those should be the i250-260 ish gear, they are decent alternatives if you don't want to grind for the i280 shire

[twilit arch]

generally, no they don't change what they give. its possible that whatever wiki you looked at hadn't been updated as some side quests have been changed in what rewards they give @earnest void

[warped nest]

(unless I confused it with something else)

[twilit arch]

lvl60 job coffer is like 210 gear

[earnest void]

@twilit arch Oh I see. Would you happen to know of any wikis that stay updated?

[serene bison]

Where is the casino in this game?

I heard people talk about it

but never seen it.

[twilit arch]

gamerescape is usually pretty up to date, or you can use garlandtools

[warped nest]

I can swear that there is another coffer that gives eikon gear

[twilit arch]

Yeah that's from the msq

[warped nest]

Ahhhhh

Listen to Kael, Sovereign

[twilit arch]

I assume when they said lvl 60 job coffer they mean the coffer you get from the lv 60 job quest

[serene bison]

um

[granite swan]

@serene bison Golden Saucer from Ul'Dah

[twilit arch]

which is the 210 gear

Gold saucer is unlocked via a quest in Ul'dah called "It can happen to you"

its near the main aetheryte

[serene bison]

o

[twilit arch]

once you've unlocked it, you can either teleport there (assuming you attuned to the aetheryte) or use the airship

[warped nest]

Get into the habit of attuning to big aetheryte

No point not to

[granite swan]

Wish they did items every 5 levels in groups ... kinda annoying having 28 gear and 33 gear from same set lol

[earnest void]

@twilit arch garlandtools looks great! thank you

[soft flicker]

hey guys im trying to do path of the dead to level, since im getting a bit burned out starting a new job and just doing the same thing over and over (hunting log + dungeons)

i did it a long time ago but remember ntohing about it... but this is what it says when i start it up

is that okay?

[granite swan]

Do you remember doing the lv 50 quest?

[soft flicker]

in potd?

[granite swan]

oh wait nm i think u need it to hit 51+ anyway

[soft flicker]

all i remember is my friends took me in there when i first started playing the game

[twilit arch]

You should be able to just reset one of the save slots and start from 51-60

[soft flicker]

like a year or 2 ago

okay cool

[twilit arch]

its going to place you at lvl 60, but there's no really much to potd. just follow your group, don't stand in bad

[granite swan]

Ya, spam 51-60, pretty short que times

[soft flicker]

okay cool

[granite swan]

seeing that reminds me though ... what does the "Gear Strength: +16" mean on it?

[slate crow]

I apparently just started 4.4. About how long until o start ShB? Few hours?

[granite swan]

@slate crow 14 Quests and 2 dungeons away

[vestal needle]

i hate aether crystal. does future dlc have them?

[slate crow]

So, yes, a couple hours. XD

[gilded forge]

Is there a difference between storing an item in the glam dresser and the armoire?

[green grail]

what, like aetherytes? @vestal needle

[granite swan]

1 is for event items / certain class armor and doesnt use up the 400 slots

the other is for everything else

[autumn oriole]

Put all eligible items in the armoire. Then the rest into glamour dresser

[gilded forge]

Gotcha

[leaden ginkgo]

I cant find the add crysta option anywhere

Yet all guides points out that i should find it here

What am i doing wrong ?

[warped nest]

How did you pay for sub before?

[leaden ginkgo]

By credit card

But that method is annoying as heck

[obsidian wren]

You can buy crysta if you use the crysta option to pay for sub

[warped nest]

Register payment method maybe?

[granite swan]

You could try this, it takes you directly to it. https://square-enix-games.com/en_US/seaccount/crysta/charge

[leaden ginkgo]

I tried it

@granite swan ok thx

[obsidian wren]

It tells u u have to charge x crysta and then takes you to the page

[gilded forge]

Am I not able to glam things in the armoire?

[granite swan]

Should be a button at the bottom like "Open Armoire" or something

[gilded forge]

They don't show up in the plate creation.

Oh nevermind I'm dumb

[eternal musk]

Hi, I have a Question, My mogstation account is apparently in the EU server,
But on that account, I have a NA Faerie server character, But cant upgrade from free trial to collectors. Does anyone know what I should do please?

[obsidian wren]

Did you use an european game key?

[leaden ginkgo]

How much crysta is a 1 month of entry subscription ? @granite swan

[obsidian wren]

Server doesnt matter

You can play on any datacentre

[granite swan]

uh no idea Roz 😦

[eternal musk]

no, i tried upgrading via mog station.

[twilit arch]

1299 crysta for entry

[obsidian wren]

I believe 1 crysta = 1 cent in local currency

[eternal musk]

it says I am unable to upgrade

[obsidian wren]

So just local price

[granite swan]

Collectors Edition Upgrade requires owning the game

its not buying the game

[leaden ginkgo]

1299 crysta for entry
@twilit arch so i will have to buy 1000 then 500 ?

Thats even more bs 😫

[obsidian wren]

You can buy 1299 exactly

[twilit arch]

no, you can put in a set amount

[leaden ginkgo]

Wait really?

[left moth]

Shiro Maguro: would either have to get complete edition and then digital CE upgrade or hope complete collecters edition is still available

[eternal musk]

i mean like on the mog station, the big Upgrade to Full Version.

[warped nest]

Mogstation doesn't do that

[twilit arch]

mogstation simply redirects you to the appropriate store front

you can't buy the game from it

[vestal needle]

@green grail sorry i meant aether current

[warped nest]

Mogstation only handles subscription, in game vanity item purchases, and standard->collector upgrade

@vestal needle it's a thing

[granite swan]

@vestal needle Ah thats in all 3 xpacs, probly into the future also

[vestal needle]

sigh......................

[granite swan]

They arent that bad if you do it while doing MSQ since most of them are nearby

oh and that stupid one in lochs where you have to make a massive detour around the entire map >.>

[soft flicker]

jeez im so weak in potd

[leaden ginkgo]

@twilit arch can you help me with this ?

[soft flicker]

people just like power running me through it lol

[granite swan]

What level are your Weapon/Armor?

[leaden ginkgo]

jeez im so weak in potd
@soft flicker try gathering a group of friends to farm silver chests for you

[soft flicker]

like my real weapon/armour?

or the thing it says on the potd page

[leaden ginkgo]

No your potd weapon

[granite swan]

potd wep/armor

[soft flicker]

35 arm 39 armour

[granite swan]

Ah

[leaden ginkgo]

Which floor are you at ?

[granite swan]

Well ive noticed most ppl doin 51-60 have 61+ ... im betting quite a few have +99 in each lol

[soft flicker]

doing 51

[leaden ginkgo]

Ah

Makes sense

[soft flicker]

just trying to get xp

[leaden ginkgo]

51 is very hard for ur wep/armor

[soft flicker]

oh i see

should i start somewhere else?

[granite swan]

I started 51 around 30ish wep/armor cause no way am i gonna redo 1-50 to get upgrades heh

[plain python]

can I solo Palace of Dead? or is it a party thing?

[granite swan]

both

[leaden ginkgo]

As i said before, gather a costom made party and farm silver chests together in lower areas, works the best @soft flicker

[granite swan]

but you probly want high aether level wep/armor to try solo it

[plain python]

is it in Duty Finder too or a premade party?

[soft flicker]

gotcha, im probably just gonna level the normal way for now then lol

[granite swan]

Are you sure he can even gain + from lower floors at 30+ though?

you gotta talk to the guy in Quarrymill every time

[leaden ginkgo]

@twilit arch i need your help please 😫

[granite swan]

@soft flicker Id honestly just stick it out on PoTD, it will help future alts anyway :p

[earnest void]

when I'm done with my free trial and buy the game on steam, am I going to have to delete the game and download it again through steam?

[soft flicker]

ic ic 😮

[leaden ginkgo]

Are you sure he can even gain + from lower floors at 30+ though?
@granite swan yeah it will, i know it will take time but it pays alot

[granite swan]

Really? Pretty sure i tried 1-10 and after like 10 runs it never gave me a single +, always said it had no effect

[soft flicker]

i went from like 35 to 39 that run i think, that i just did

[slate crow]

Anyone done the ridiculous jumping in bloody Kugane?

[granite swan]

Ya 51-60 will go up high

[obsidian wren]

The chance to get aetherpool level decreases the higher level you are, and increases the deeper floors you go to

I did viper o/

[granite swan]

51-60 at 60+ wep/armor is like 1/3 chance to have a +

from what ive seen anyway

@granite swan 2 runs from 21 to 51 will make him go up to 50+ or even 60 if he is lucky, he just need to do it with a group of people that knows him and not some random matched players

kk =]

[tranquil adder]

this is a silly question, i'm doing some housing for RP, if you put an NPC in your fc room, say a material supplier, will the NPC name appear for other players visiting your room?

i've tried visiting other player's room in the fc, and the names don't appear, as this is a unspoiled RP thing, can't really ask someone else to check it

[slate arrow]

You can only interact with housing NPCs you own/FC owns, besides retainers

So unfortunately, you cannot interact with non personal or FC Npcs

[tranquil adder]

that's good

because i don't want visiting players to see the NPC name

or be able to interact with it

thx for the answer!

assuming you got zazel out

[granite swan]

do you have Zazel out?

[rugged flicker]

Well last time I thought that and everyone else was insisting that was the case, I was in the wrong area.

Yes

[obsidian wren]

it should work there, you can double check in the yokai window of the minion menu

[twilit arch]

zazel is all heavensward areas

[rugged flicker]

12 failed tries and I asked someone outside this Discord who informed me I was in the wrong area <.<

You may either need to level up another class to 30 or make a new character on a preferred world

It doesn’t recognize classes already past 30 during trial

[pine phoenix]

ahh

so i need to get a class that starts below 30 and get it to 30?

[heady bramble]

Any estimation on when the next mog station will be?

2 months?

I know they’re rare, but does anyone have a rough guess?

[obsidian patio]

You mean a sale? They’re pretty much random

@pine phoenix yep. If that doesn’t work then you’ll just need to make a throwaway character to quickly get to 30

[twilit arch]

There might be one at christmas time

but no way to say for certain

[obsidian patio]

best guesses are Black Friday and Christmas time, yeah

[rare wren]

There are two minions in the achievement logs for crafting/gathering for the firmament, for getting 500k points each, but is it overall points or by season?

[twilit arch]

overall

[rare wren]

oh phew omgoodness

[twilit arch]

if it was by season it would note "for x phase"

[rare wren]

i see, tyty

[pliant wind]

I can't equip any weapons that aren't in my Amory chest. I checked every part of my chest and everything has enough space

[twilit arch]

does it give you an error when you try to equip it

[pliant wind]

Yes

[twilit arch]

whats the error

[pliant wind]

Unable to change classes. Insufficient armoury chest space

[open rivet]

Could you screenshot your armory chest, and post it here?

[pliant wind]

Which part

[open rivet]

the entire window, if possible, doesn't matter which tab

[last dock]

anyone know what I should do if I have a full inventory and nowhere to store anything?

do I just put random stuff to sell in the markets?

[open rivet]

@last dock see if you can put stuff in the armoire / glamour dresser or sell stuff

[twilit arch]

if it has "Shop Selling Price:X" on it, you can safely toss it

[last dock]

Not sure where to find that stuff tbh

[twilit arch]

otherwise, can put old gear you want to save for glamour in the dresser at any inn room

the i45/50 job gear into the armoire (also in an inn room)

plus can store things on your retainers

[last dock]

yeah retainers and chocobo bags are full

[twilit arch]

then sounds like you need to do some cleaning

[gritty oracle]

You can't put vendors in your inn room, correct?

[twilit arch]

cos there's definitely plenty of things you can toss

nope, but you can sell items to your retainer

[open rivet]

@gritty oracle inn rooms can't be edited, but if you have a FC room, you can do whatever you want there

[twilit arch]

like vendor sell

[gritty oracle]

eh, it would just be for convenience of buying dyes for my glam directly from my inn room, if I can't put glam dressers in my apartment.

[proud willow]

If you are looking to do some deep inventory management, I recommend a browser extension called Retain Me Not

[twilit arch]

ah fair, yeah i just have a bunch of dyes tossed on my retainer for that purpose

[proud willow]

it will modify your Lodestone page so that you can see what items you can take out of your retainers' inventory and why

[pliant wind]

Here's what you asked for

Wait

[twilit arch]

its probably your rings

[open rivet]

rings

put one away

and you should be able to equip your weapons

[last dock]

What does it mean if there's a heart next to an option at the markets

[pliant wind]

Yeah it's all the rings I have why didn't I realize that

Wow I'm an idiot

[twilit arch]

heart means people have that on their watch/wishlist iirc

[leaden ginkgo]

What's the best way I could introduce a friend to this game?

He's a WoW refugee

I streamed the game for him today and he really liked it. He's mostly interested in Shadowbringers though.

[topaz scarab]

I mean, just move it to your armory chest first then?

woops

anyway, on another note: what's the most efficient zodiac light farm these days?

[twilit arch]

tam tara or ifrit nm

[amber ingot]

BiS food for Miners?

[twilit arch]

depending on your load times

[topaz scarab]

does lv50 stuff / coils etc not give more?

[twilit arch]

it does, but you can do tam tara/ifrit in like seconds

if you wanna do lvl 50 stuff, then go for it

[topaz scarab]

well tam tara would take like 3 minutes or so..

[twilit arch]

it definitely doesn't take 3minutes

[topaz scarab]

just dunno how big the point difference is

[open rivet]

best speedruns for tam-tara are like 2m 30s, so it sure will take about 3m

[twilit arch]

you can pull a lot in tam tara, the only thing that really delays is the orbs

[twilit arch]

either way

zodiac it doesn't really matter

just unsync whatever you want

[south sphinx]

hello

[leaden ginkgo]

Hi

[south sphinx]

noob question

when i started playing ff14 i kinda rush things and focus on main story quest, now im lvl 50 and i felt like i missed tons of stuff, should i start over???

[open rivet]

you could always just swap class and be "low level" again

[twilit arch]

no need to start over. Its generally recommended to focus on the main scenario quests since for one they're required to unlock pretty much everything

if you wanna go do side quests or unlock side dungeons, you don't need to start over to do that

[south sphinx]

so i should continue

?

[leaden ginkgo]

Yes

Definitely

[twilit arch]

i mean what exactly do you feel like you missed

[south sphinx]

and i heard that they changed the arr story

[twilit arch]

they didn't really change the story

just cut a few unnecessary quests and adjusted somethings so it flows smoother

[leaden ginkgo]

They just removed some filler quests

[tidal yarrow]

what melee should use the lb3 at the end of a fight?

[twilit arch]

the one doing the least damage. in casual content, it doesn't matter. which ever one hits it first

[south sphinx]

last time i played was on post arr main story quest was finish 3 hard difficulty7 dungeons

[tidal yarrow]

so me playing sam shouldn't be the one

[steep heron]

Unless you're a bad sam

[oak ice]

You should if you're doing less damage than the others

[twilit arch]

assuming you're actually the highest dps, yeah. But generally though, in casual content people tend to be...iffy about using it for whatever reason

so its better you use it, then letting it sit

[oak ice]

In casual content people tend to shit the bed immediately after it's used

[south sphinx]

is it ok to unlock,if not all jobs in a single char???

[twilit arch]

yes

[leaden ginkgo]

You don't win a lot by using limit break with classes like sam or blm

[twilit arch]

in fact that's basically how the game is designed

[tidal yarrow]

i wish i could tell that but this game sucks lmao

You should if you're doing less damage than the others

[steep heron]

You are meant to unlock it all

[leaden ginkgo]

In lvl 80 content, I don't even use limit break, bosses cast so fast that's really asking to get jizzed on

[steep heron]

Used to sorta kinda be able too off the aggro list
Still easy to tell who's doing badly off their animations

[tidal yarrow]

??

what

[soft flicker]

my pet is hitting 3s lol, seems so low even for a level 20

[tidal yarrow]

no way you can tell who's doing better by animations

[glossy flare]

I mean, if I see a SAM using Yukikaze over and over again I know what's up 😄

[tidal yarrow]

ye but nobody does that

[steep heron]

Hahahahha

[glossy flare]

I've seen it once, but yeah it's more of a meme

[south sphinx]

last time i played was i think patch 2.5.??? back in febuary so i was wondering how big will be the update for my game client.planning to sub again and due to my limited internet so im asking...

[twilit arch]

either way, if the boss is under 10% and you don't see anyone else using it may as well use it yourself

[glossy flare]

it also looks fancy

and I don't agree on the "don't use it on lvl 80 content" thingy

every fight has pockets where it's safe to cast

[steep heron]

In dungeons hit lb as soon as it fills provided there's nothing mechanics at that moment

[twilit arch]

yeah no reason to save it in dungeons

[leaden ginkgo]

Yes

[twilit arch]

use it pretty much moment its ready

[tidal yarrow]

anyway i wasn't talking about dungeons but savage raids

[glossy flare]

It's fun to tell sprouts about it because they usually never used it before, at least in lower level dungeons

[leaden ginkgo]

Ooo no

[steep heron]

Hesitation with lb will kill you more than just using it when it's ready

[leaden ginkgo]

Just give the limit break to healer as emergency button if you're progressing

[tidal yarrow]

im always afraid of using it on Ifrit close to enrage

[twilit arch]

[Mnk >= fastSam >= Nin >= Drg]* > slowSam

[tidal yarrow]

i think once it got interrupted by him jumping

and we lost the lb

that's why i always try to make others lb

[warped nest]

I didn't know that Monk is top priority

[glossy flare]

just don't let the rdm use it or you'll be blind afterwards

[leaden ginkgo]

Seizure attack

[steep heron]

There really isn't a priority

[warped nest]

In dungeon, I recommend AOE LB for mob pull

[twilit arch]

— If you have Weakness or Brink of Death, you LB.
— Skill disparity between members will decide for you.
     → If melee 1 is objectively worse than melee 2, then melee 1 should always LB.
 
What this means for hardcore/speedrun/melees of equal skill:
— There are 2 more or less constants in this hierarchy:
• Mnk is usually the best choice for LB due to SSS (still requires specific timing).
• slowSam is usually the worst choice for LB due to the rigid need for only and exactly 2 filler GCDs.
— In order to decide who should LB you need to take a look at the burst phases and how key abilities are going to be affected:
• Mnks can LB anytime outside their burst unless their next burst window is negatively affected.
• fastSams can LB anytime outside their burst and use it as their filler unless Jinpu/Shifu are dropping.
• Nins can LB anytime outside their burst unless it affects their Bunshin lineup.
• Drgs can LB anytime outside their burst unless it messes with their Jump. They always lose CT ticks.
• slowSams generally don't want to LB because it will always delay their next burst phase and drift it out of raid buffs.

tl;dr: Every melee has bad timings for LB.
Sometimes it may even be better for a slowSam to LB over a Mnk.```

the more indepth answer

[leaden ginkgo]

Man, if you still have a question after reading that...

[warped nest]

I do have 1, what's sss?

[steep heron]

I once got vote kicked just before a final boss for using mage lb on a trash pull
Expert roulette btw

[twilit arch]

six sided star

!action Six Sided Star

[zinc orbit]

**Six-sided Star** : lvl 80 MNK (5.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Delivers an attack with a potency of 400.
Additional Effect: Extends Greased Lightning duration to maximum
This weaponskill does not share a recast timer with any other actions. Upon execution, the recast timer for this action will be applied to all other weaponskills and magic actions.

Powered by XIVAPI

[warped nest]

I understand everything else though, tldr: worse player LB, equal skilled players are all kinda screwed by LB

[leaden ginkgo]

I feel I deal better dps than LB

[warped nest]

Basically, Monk lose the least usually if they use sss to lead LB?

[leaden ginkgo]

Yes

They probably don't have to ramp as much as other jobs

[tidal yarrow]

also, the lb deals damage only if it lands the entire cast and animation?

[leaden ginkgo]

Like any other casted spell

[steep heron]

It deals the damage when the number appears
Usually the animations are mostly done by then

[soft flicker]

does summoner and scholar use the same weapon :o?

[warped nest]

There are some recovery animation though iirc

[steep heron]

No

[soft flicker]

oh, i thought they both used books

[steep heron]

Yes

[leaden ginkgo]

You also risk getting killed if you don't know the fight very well

[steep heron]

But fifteenth kinds of books

[twilit arch]

for 30-50 they share weapons, after 50+ they split

[glossy flare]

both are books but it's a different weapon category

[warped nest]

@soft flicker before lvl 50, they share

[steep heron]

*different

[soft flicker]

oh, theyre just different kinds of books so they can differentiate classes i guess?

[twilit arch]

scholars specifically use codex, summoner uses grimoires

[soft flicker]

gotcha

😄

[steep heron]

Yeah caster book vs healer book

[glossy flare]

summoner has picture books, scholar has text books

easy

[soft flicker]

honestly the reason i wanna level arcanist is because ive seen some really cool looking scholars/summoners around 😛

[warped nest]

If we are gonna be more specific, it is Arcanist/Summoner weapons and Scholar weapons

(aside from relic)

[steep heron]

Smn ND sch have some of the best looking artifact armors

[leaden ginkgo]

They share levels too

And both are strong jobs

[soft flicker]

😄 im excited to get to level 30 to get to the job

only 18 right now

[polar hound]

make sure youre keeping up with msq and job quests 🙂

[glossy flare]

yeah you level both at the same time too

it's great

[soft flicker]

my msq is higher than my summoner lol

my msq is at the start of hw

im trying to get multiple classes around 50 so i acn decide what i actually want to play

[polar hound]

you need to do a certain msq before you can unlock jobs.. sylph management or something but yeah

[steep heron]

They share levels but have their own job quests so don't forget to check in with the respective teachers

[soft flicker]

since early game its almost impossible to tell how a class feels

[polar hound]

most rotations dont start filling out til 60-70+ mind you

yeah

[soft flicker]

yeah i know alot changes but you can atleast tell what the class feels like at 50 i think

thats how its felt for me atleast

[polar hound]

Palace of the dead offers you to start at level 60 (kinda) within potd anyways..provided youve got floor 50+ unlocked

[glossy flare]

eh, with summoner you don't even have dreadwyrm trance at 50

no bahamut either

that's 70

[soft flicker]

ic 😮

im just going off of bard and ninja i guess

with my ninja i basically just hit "1 2 3 1 2 3 1 2 3" until like 40-45

[glossy flare]

some really key abilities sometimes appear damn late for some jobs

[steep heron]

You can bring a new job to palace of the dead. Floor 51-60
It auto brings you to level 50 for that instance.

[polar hound]

oh 50 oop been awhile

[steep heron]

You can boil a lot of jobs down to 1 2 3
Always keep that gcd rolling

[soft flicker]

well once i got ninjitsu on my ninja it changed alot, it feels good now

[glossy flare]

yeah you can finally summon the mighty rabbit

[soft flicker]

haha

[sly vessel]

as machinist, should i be spamming heatblase when im on hypercharge

[glossy flare]

the thing with SMN specifically is that it goes through multiple phases in its rotation (which is 2 minutes long eventually)

but you don't even start unlocking the second phase of that until lvl 58 I think

and it takes until 70 to get everything for that phase

[steep heron]

Heatblast and weave in the ogcd skills

[soft flicker]

oooh i just got fester

i really like that spell

[glossy flare]

yeah, finally some burst 😄

[soft flicker]

do shieelds not show up on your health bar?

i use the glittering topaz thing but i dont see any change in my health

[glossy flare]

no, they show up as buffs though

[green grail]

only on the party list

[glossy flare]

^

[soft flicker]

oh okay

[green grail]

you can set the party list to display even when you're solo though

[soft flicker]

ooh i should od that

[glossy flare]

Also that pet is pretty useless 😅 It's nice sometimes for solo content but usually you want damage and not some shield on yourself

[soft flicker]

its actually doing more damage than my other one right now haha

[glossy flare]

yeah, you'll replace it at lvl 30 when you get Ifrit

[soft flicker]

my other one is hitting literal 3s and that one is hitting 10-11

yeah i figured

[pine phoenix]

how siginificant is the adventurer in need bonus for duty finder?

[soft flicker]

i assumed i wouldnt use these pets ever again after i got a job

[glossy flare]

and your first one will be Garuda eventually

at that point there really is no need for Titan anymore

oh you still use the same skills, the pets they summon just change

[twilit arch]

its a nice bonus if you are the in need role but not worth repeating the roulette for after you've gotten the daily bonus done @pine phoenix

[glossy flare]

but iirc there is a chat command to make titan look like topaz carbuncle for example

more SMN skins pls

[pine phoenix]

wait are roulettes not worth it after the daily bonus?

[twilit arch]

no, you should be doing roulette once a day

doing it after the daily bonus is generally not worth

[pine phoenix]

if i want to level up what should i do instead

[glossy flare]

spam the highest level dungeon you have access to

or go to palace of the dead

[twilit arch]

highest level dungeon (except 50/60/70, do 47/59/69 dungeons instead) if dungeons queues are <15minutes, palace of the dead (til60), heave on high (61-70) if they're over that

[leaden ginkgo]

hey whats the name of the orchestrion roll thats playing in the city states for the anniversary

[twilit arch]

Answers - Reprise

[leaden ginkgo]

thx

[pine phoenix]

thanks

[leaden ginkgo]

my fc leader wants to get it

[pine phoenix]

i've used roulettes to get several jobs to 60 already lol, will def do this instead

[soft flicker]

do my dots ever get upgraded? im an arcanist right now and they seem sooo weak that they raent even worth casting

[glossy flare]

yes

[leaden ginkgo]

they are never ever not worth casting

u want 100% uptime

[glossy flare]

you'll get Bio III and Miasma III eventually

just flat out more damage

[soft flicker]

are you sure they should eb used at level 18 peachy?

[leaden ginkgo]

ttheyre a significant part of ur dps output no matter what level you are

[oak ice]

They are weak, but they work over a long time, the damage adds up

[leaden ginkgo]

yes

they should

[soft flicker]

okay i guess im crazy then haha

[oak ice]

!action miasma

[zinc orbit]

**Miasma** : lvl 6 ACN SMN (500 MP) (2.5 second cooldown)(2.5 second base cast time)

Deals unaspected damage with a potency of 20.
Additional Effect: Unaspected damage over time
Potency: 20
Duration: 30s

Powered by XIVAPI

[leaden ginkgo]

if you take the total potency over the 30 seconds

its a lot

[glossy flare]

I know what you mean, compared to other classes it feels weird because you lack the burst

but it's still a lot of damage

[oak ice]

You have 20 initial potency, and then you have another 200 potency on top of that by just setting and forgetting

[glossy flare]

plus fester does more damage if both dots are up

[calm phoenix]

Is it true, Heavensward extremes (unlocking birds) is soloable at level 80 unsynced?

[glossy flare]

you want that damage

[oak ice]

You can solo them with paladin and warrior, yes

[leaden ginkgo]

Is it true, Heavensward extremes (unlocking birds) is soloable at level 80 unsynced?
with a bit of skill yes, but the primals are harder

i mean the

the containment bay ones

[oak ice]

You're still looking at 10 minute fights since they're HP sponges

But I have soloed all of them

[leaden ginkgo]

even bismark

[oak ice]

Yep

[leaden ginkgo]

howd you get the cannons

[oak ice]

You just run across, it's lenient

[leaden ginkgo]

oh ok

[jade quartz]

@soft flicker DoTs at that level are like the core of your class. They're your most potent spells.

[calm phoenix]

Do people always look at how you contributed rather than your shortcomings? I had an interesting dungeon run yesterday. I died more than the others but I saved the party from wiping twice by raising the healer twice. I ended up receiving commendations from 2/3 of the rest of the party. Is it because I raised the healer?

[jade quartz]

probably

[oak ice]

Or pity comms

[jade quartz]

People may give commendations based on whatever criteria they decide

there aren't any "rules".

[finite walrus]

are the DoH/DoL /bstance and /vpose emotes just taken from GLA/PLD??

[oak ice]

Yes

[calm phoenix]

Windows 10 had an update last night and now Final Fantasy XIV freezes "Not responding" every time I open it! Does anybody know what the problem could be?

[open rivet]

I loaded the update as well, no issues w/ ff, probs something else

[oak ice]

I hope no file got corrupted

[glossy flare]

the launcher should have an option to check for that though

[open rivet]

have you tried turning it off and on again?
Windows often messes up

[calm phoenix]

It is literally every time I open Final Fantasy XIV

[glossy flare]

tried any other game yet?

[calm phoenix]

I just restarted my PC this morning like 15 minutes ago

[sour spoke]

Can you still refer someone if they are already in trial?

Windows 10 had an update last night and now Final Fantasy XIV freezes "Not responding" every time I open it! Does anybody know what the problem could be?
@calm phoenix you could try uninstalling the update

Elder Scrolls Oblivion works

[potent lava]

does ishgardian restoration require high level of hand/land job

[warped nest]

No

Everyone can participate

You need lvl 20 DoH or lvl 10 DoL to join up

[potent lava]

just the one job or does having more H/L jobs help

[warped nest]

What's your goal in doing Ishgardian restoration?

[potent lava]

the emotes and mounts

[warped nest]

Up to you then tbh

[oak smelt]

If im trying to get an item from a dungeon boss reward or something. Will running it unsynced with a higher level character alone again and again work?

Is the chance of getting one of the Retainer Venture Minions low or am I just unlucky?

[leaden ginkgo]

What's this "tales from the shadows" thing that's constantly published by FFXIV in social media?

[green grail]

just some extra lore stories

[leaden ginkgo]

I get spoiled everytime

Im coming towards the end of the ARR msq, are the poetics iv picked worth saving, or would they be better spent on a few items?

Spend if you need to upgrade some gear

Not worth saving imo

[glossy flare]

once you have completed the last main ARR quest you can use them to buy ironworks gear

which should be a huge step up and will last you some time into heavensward

[leaden ginkgo]

Ah cheers, i’ll keep a hold of them until I’ve finished the ARR stuff then

it helps a lot at the beginning of heavensward

[glossy flare]

they're basically a currency to buy things from old content

so spend away

[leaden ginkgo]

If you're lvl 50, might as well buy your gear set right away

Is Ironworks the ilvl 130 stuff?

Yes

Just the weapon, chest and pants are enough for starters

Or buy for glamour

[glossy flare]

you'll have to do a lot of quests after main ARR and the beginning of HW anyway, including multiple dungeons and trials

you will probably have the full set eventually

Is there a way to circumvent the Triple Triad Tournament Matchmaking lock?
My buddy and I are both queuing but don't get matched because we already had a battle.
Do we need a 3rd person to match again or are we just locked out of battling each other?

[light island]

hiya, if i play on elemental world . can i choose another world when im creating new characteR ?

[green grail]

yes

if you want another datacenter you need to switch on the main menu

if you just want another world on elemental then pick a different one at the end of character creation

[light island]

ahh i see

yes thankyou ! found it

[forest lark]

I'm playing ffziv on ps4 rn and I was looking to switch to PC, I found that there are 2 veraions, steam and square enix store, if I buy compl. ed. In square enix store, can I play it through steam or vice versa?

[faint flare]

No

Steam/SE permanently locks you to that platform

And you cant swap over

[open rivet]

couldn't you just activate another key on your service account?

I mean, that's wasted money, but who am I to judge

[warped nest]

It doesn't overwrite

[unborn bay]

Is the level 60 class quest intended for stormblood content? Musosai is cleaning my butt

[warped nest]

It is locked on permanent once you put in a PC or Steam code

[unborn bay]

I do no damage to him and he does all the damage in the world to me lol

[warped nest]

What gear do you have?

Sounds like you skimp on your gearing

[unborn bay]

135ish

I'm using the story gear

[warped nest]

Evidently

You need better gear

[faint flare]

135 is low

Thats lv55 gear

[warped nest]

130 is lvl 53 dungeon

[faint flare]

55, cause unaugmented ironworks is 120 which replaced at 53

[unborn bay]

okok, I know I could buy some 255 ilvl gear but I guess just playing through the story would be ok?

[warped nest]

Yup, lvl 53 dungeon drop i130

[faint flare]

You can get poetic gear when you hit Idyllshire

At 58

[warped nest]

Don't buy the 255 gears

NQ stuff have neutered stat

[open rivet]

@warped nest no, like, not overwrite, but on mogstation it shows all platforms seperately,
so it stands to reason that you can activate both a pc and steam key for the same account, no?

[warped nest]

And you can get 280 stuff with poetics

[unborn bay]

is the poetic gear the endgame gear you get for tomestones?

[warped nest]

@open rivet yes, but PC and Steam take the first slot

[unborn bay]

"end game"

[warped nest]

Then it is PS4, Mac, Collector Edition

[twilit arch]

You cannot active steam and pc on the same service account

you're either steam or standalone pc

If you active Steam

[twilit arch]

its not a specific node for diamde

[warped nest]

The first slot will become Steam

[twilit arch]

they basically flip flop what mats are on them

[patent citrus]

oh ok so it's rng

[twilit arch]

so for diadem you essentially just want to do laps around, gathering from each node

[patent citrus]

so i just have to keep cutting these weeds?

[warped nest]

@unborn bay yes, Poetic tomestone is the universal tomestone for lvl 50/60/70 endgame contents

[patent citrus]

ok

[twilit arch]

and use augur to blow up mobs with mats on them that you want

[unborn bay]

thanks @warped nest

I wish I could go there already I'm capped in tomestones lol

[patent citrus]

yeh, a day from dr gives like 1.3k poetics haha

[unborn bay]

Well I'm 3 quests away from the Idyllshire place

How do you get the weapons? My friend had told me you couldn't buy that with poetic

Hello guys I'm new, and I'm leveling a paladin, well guardian at the moment, I just got "Iron will" but I don't know what it does what is enmity?

[faint flare]

Its aggro

You want it as a tank

[warped ridge]

Oh ok

So I can just leave it off then

[faint flare]

No

[warped ridge]

When I go to raids or something leave it on?

[faint flare]

You keep it on

[warped ridge]

Ye but I'm playing alone atm so it doesn't really matter right?

[faint flare]

Builds a habit

[jolly sorrel]

I just unlocked BLU, how do I go about gathering people for dungeons? PF seems dead, DF is unusable

[faint flare]

Pf and wait

🤷‍♂️

[whole wasp]

PF or /shout in cities

[jolly sorrel]

Very well.

[whole wasp]

Ask your NN maybe

[faint flare]

And fc

[whole wasp]

Or look around for BLU discord

[faint flare]

Just need 3/7 other people for stuff

[jolly sorrel]

BLU discord seems to make sense. I'll search for that

[leaden ginkgo]

what's a fast way to level up a weaver?

I heard there was some sort of crafter update

[crimson wind]

restoration

[onyx kiln]

can anyone else edit things in your house if somehow give permission? or is that just something FCs might be able to do?

[faint flare]

Yes they can

You make them a tenant then give them the permissions

[onyx kiln]

okay, thats good to know

[leaden ginkgo]

@crimson wind where is that?

[faint flare]

Ishgard

[onyx kiln]

in ishgard

[crimson wind]

isn't there a faq for it

[faint flare]

You need to have cleared 3.3 story and have lv20 crafters to take part

[leaden ginkgo]

ah

can't do that then

[halcyon tulip]

crafting leves and gc deliveries

[crimson wind]

don't worry about leveling crafters

finish msq first

[onyx kiln]

what is the AoE rotation for a lv 77 BLM?

[leaden ginkgo]

What? Are crafters end game stuff or something?

[faint flare]

Its easier to do

[crimson wind]

everything is locked behind MSQ progression

[faint flare]

As you would have unlocked more ways to level them

[crimson wind]

so I recommend you put a focus on MSQ

Except Crystal Tower raids

Hi guys when can I get my first mount, and where, I'm lvl 10 atm but getting a bit sick of running around

[untold sand]

any recommended chat setups?

[faint flare]

!faq mounts

[zinc orbit]

Mounts FAQ

'When can I get my first mount?'

The quest that allows you to use mounts, 'My Little Chocobo' is unlocked by completing the level 20 main story quest 'The Company You Keep'. The quest is located at the Grand Company base you chose and you'll need to buy the Chocobo Issuance from your Grand Company Quartermaster. You can get the 200 needed Grand Company seals by doing the main story quest that comes after 'The Company You Keep'.

'Are there any differences between mounts?'

Besides looks, all mounts are the same speed along with being able to fly. Some mounts allow multiple people to ride at once.

'Can I make my mount faster?'

Zones have one or two ranks of mount speed that increase the ground speed of mounts. The first rank comes from completing specific quests in the main scenario quests, with the second rank coming from Riding Maps which are bought with either Allied Seals, Centurio Seals, or Bicolor Gemstones. Mount Speed Boosts do not increase the flying speed of mounts.

[untold sand]

surprised u cant have more than 4 chats

[warped ridge]

Hi guys what are the difference in the quest with a cross on them? Should I do them?

[wispy parcel]

Those quests should be done as soon as you can

[faint flare]

Blue quests unlock SOMETHING

[wispy parcel]

They unlock new stuff, either mechanics, dungeons

A bunch o stuff

[warped ridge]

Thanks

[vivid thorn]

once you get to HW do the ones that unlock aether currents

[scenic tiger]

Can I spend allagan tomestones on better gear than lvl 50? I just hit 60 and want to spend that currency on something useful lol

[twilit arch]

yes, but both the 60/70 vendors are locked behind msq

[scenic tiger]

oh rip

[twilit arch]

60 requires you to have gotten to idyllshire (around 58 in the msq), 70 requires you to have completed the msq "Stormblood"

[vivid thorn]

did you get to Idyllshire yet?

[scenic tiger]

no, but my msq is at lvl 57 right now, so I shouldnt be too far off right?

[twilit arch]

yep probably a couple of more quests to go

[scenic tiger]

ok nice, thanks for the info 😄

[runic bough]

Hello everyone!

I have a major issue that occurred earlier

Long story short, I turned on my laptop and launched my steam only to find out the game has been uninstalled

and now I have to wait for 4389 minutes for it to get installed

My launcher has been deleted too

All the files are gone

Nothing unnatural has happened yesterday. I logged off as usual and turned off my laptop.

Can anyone please help me retrieve my files? Or is there anyone who knows of a way to avoid this nonsensical predicament?

[blissful pine]

Yo
Can you run ffxiv with low internet? Or perhaps does anyone have experience with doing this?

[open rivet]

as long as the connection is stable, it works

you could even play off of mobile data

[blissful pine]

What would be considered stable? Like constantly up? Or maintaining a constant download speed

[green grail]

like you dont disconnect every 5 minutes

cause that's not gonna work for any online game

especially an mmo

[blissful pine]

Yeah got it
so if the speed fluctuates then that’s okay
As long as it doesn’t dc

[strange coral]

Download speed would only really matter for downloading the game and updates. Maintaining a stable, acceptable ping would probably be the most important thing.

!faq datacenterip

[zinc orbit]

Datacenter IP Addresses

List of IP Addresses for each Datacenter

Aether: 204.2.229.9
Primal: 204.2.229.10
Crystal: 204.2.229.11
Chaos: 195.82.50.9
Light: 195.82.50.10
Mana: 124.150.157.156
Gaia: 124.150.157.157
Elemental: 124.150.157.158

how do I ping the IP?

Windows: Open Command Prompt and type ping *insert IP Address here*
Mac: Open Terminal and type ping *insert IP Address here*

[strange coral]

I would run a continuous ping on your datacenter for a while and see how it does

[blissful pine]

Ah I see got it
What would be considered an acceptable ping? From what I’ve gathered (and as a player from australia) I’ve been able to play with about 180-200 ms

[strange coral]

I think most people would say below 100, but I know there's players that play with about 200

[median locust]

Think at one point the devs said the game was designed to be played on up to 200

[blissful pine]

Scratch that its about 216 ms lol
I can dodge most aoe’s, and I don’t plan to do anything ultra competitive so

[strange coral]

As long as it stays consistent without any random lag spikes, eg jumping up to 1000ms for a second or two, you should be able to adjust to it and get used to playing it

[blissful pine]

Plus a lot of the people I play with are from different regions, I felt like ffxiv was one of the best games that allowed everyone to get together
awesome, that’s good news, really hoping I’m able to play with my gf hey (her internet can be quite slow so we can’t play most games we gotta make do till I’m able to move to Europe)

[onyx kiln]

what does the red icon next to the house mean?

[leaden ginkgo]

believe that means it's locked

[whole wasp]

Dont worry too much about ping. my connection is pretty stable but im on 300+ ping. i can dodge AoEs just fine. i just never greed

[trail mulch]

guys

what does this mean

[whole wasp]

you hit the max lvl for your current game

if you are on free trial, you can only reach lvl 60

same for starter edition

[trail mulch]

im upgraded

o what

starter maxes at 60??

[wintry chasm]

Yes

[whole wasp]

you have to buy the expansion to reach lvl 80.

[trail mulch]

o

[whole wasp]

complete edition goes to 80 straight away too

[trail mulch]

though can i ask, will maxing out at 60 cause me any issues with finishing quests in heavensward?

[whole wasp]

nope

all of heavensward content is made when the max level was 60

[trail mulch]

does drk require me to cop the expansion

[whole wasp]

no. DRK is part of heavensward content

which is included in starter edition and free trial

you just have to reach ishgard and be uhh lvl 50 to unlock it

[mortal root]

where can i find the blue mage discord

[whole wasp]

#resources

might have to scroll down abit

should be under DPS:caster

[frail sapphire]

What does it mean when people say to do your collectibles as a gatherer?

[mortal root]

ty! got it

[whole wasp]

when you hit lvl 50 as a gatherer. you unlock a in mordhona foundation where you can gather special stuff for rowena

these are known as collectable and collectable gathering

you can turn in collectables to rowena to get scrips

[jolly sorrel]

I think the quest appears in Ishgard instead

[frail sapphire]

Ah got it ty smug

[whole wasp]

the scrips can be turned in for stuff like gathering gear etc

crafters especially need these because their master recipe books from 3 onwards are locked behind scrips

[frank wigeon]

hey ma yi ask how long till next update on rankings in ishgard?

is it everyhour?

[fiery dagger]

What's the material usage licenese?

[whole wasp]

https://support.eu.square-enix.com/rule.php?id=5383&la=2&tag=authc

basically its a agreement that you can make stuff using ffxiv resources

but not for profit

or break the law

[shrewd crescent]

Hey, it was possible to change gear for female to the male alternative right?

[whole wasp]

yes for most gear

you trade it in at the calamnity salvager

if the option isnt there then it cant be. >.<

[shrewd crescent]

Like the valentine outfit?
I changed back to a male recently.

I’ll check it out later then

[whole wasp]

it should be fine

[shrewd crescent]

Thanks ^^

[runic bough]

Can anyone please help me retrieve my files? Or is there anyone who knows of a way to avoid this nonsensical predicament. Excuse me?

[tidal yarrow]

can a player in free trial send a friend request?

[remote lintel]

no

[past lantern]

About unspoiled/timed mining nodes. I was at a location where Yellow copper ore spawns.. but there was only one vein and I was roaming around and couldn't find another. Is it normal to just have 1 vein per hour?

[jolly sorrel]

Yup.

They're rare like that

[past lantern]

is this the only way to lvl a miner? I hope there's something better

[jolly sorrel]

Unspoiled nodes have nothing to do with leveling 🙂

They're there to get rare mats for crafters

[digital wyvern]

As someone getting started and hitting 50 for the first time, Is there any specific gear I'm supposed to be grinding for? I've been finding it hard to nail down "milestone" gear - for DRK/PLD btw

[past lantern]

I mean Yellow Copper ore gives chunks of exp for your gatherer

[strange coral]

Do leves, beast tribe dailies, and restoration diadem for leveling miner

[jolly sorrel]

If its your first job, the MSQ should give you plenty of gear. Otherwise, you probably have some poetics saved up to buy ironworks gear

[past lantern]

is there beast tribes below 60? my Miner is only 53

I tried Diadem but the exp is horrible at my current level

[gloomy mortar]

Is there a glowing Dancer weapon?

[digital wyvern]

I'm like 20 levels above MSQ right now though. Just continue with MSQ?

[strange coral]

No, not for the 50s. 60s and 70s have gatherer beast tribes though

[jolly sorrel]

That should've gotten you plenty of gear :D. Worst case you just keep doing dungeons and grab some gear from there when it drops

Collectables should also give plenty Miner exp

[past lantern]

for other collectables apart from yellow copper ore.. is there a way to know their exact locations?

I stumbled randomly on some obsidian nodes

[jolly sorrel]

Google, for most things

[gloomy mortar]

@past lantern do GC turn ins for Miner Exp every day

Massive Exp

[jolly sorrel]

^ also solid yes

[strange coral]

Go here https://garlandtools.org/bell/ Select Patches: 3.0, Classes: Miner, Types: Unspoiled, Tasks: None selected. This will show you when the HW collectibles are available as well as locations.

[past lantern]

@strange coral That's pretty handy. Now I just need to figure out how to read these timers with different color lines

[warped nest]

Fiddle with the settings

Just so you know, the timer count down in real time

[strange coral]

Green and shrinking is active and time running out. Red and growing is about to spawn. Grey and growing is spawning later.

[inland zenith]

When in free stance will the chocobo use abilities of the three specs?

[warped nest]

Yes

[inland zenith]

I usually use it as tank when playing dps and as dps when playing tank.

[warped nest]

The recommendation is to make it a healer

[faint flare]

Healer is the superior role for it
