Whatever level u need im not sure

Most of the chocobo Bardings are made at the various level caps (50/60/70/80) from primal materials
Most of which made by armorer

is there a xfer for data center?
obsidian patio
Home world transfer, yes
faint flare
Home world transfer
silent zodiac
Is there any logic behind going aether primal crystal chaos light or elemental data centers?
Like RP realms, one is highest pop, etc?
twilit arch
aether/primal/crystal are NA data centers
silent zodiac
So for NA Aether Primal or Crystal
twilit arch
light/chaos are EU
faint flare
Go for a data centre for your region for less ping
twilit arch
elemental/gaia/mana are JP
faint flare
Only thing noticeable/worth mentioning is Crystal is slightly more RP
silent zodiac
I'm NA, so aether primal or crystal? is there one that's particularly higher pop? I'd like to play with a lot of people
silent zodiac
does Primal have a niche?
obsidian patio
Aether and primal are both pretty balanced in endgame raiders
calm phoenix
And what about Ixali Wildtalon in Dragonhead? None in that small area and I tried venturing miles from it in all directions
raw solstice
you know, every time you ask these questions, we're mostly just putting it in google, clicking the first link, and giving you the coordinates
would highly recommend you consider doing the same instead of asking here, saves a step
raw solstice
or that, too^
twilit arch
as well as grand company and hunts
silent zodiac
Last question guys, I'm gunna go with primal because it sounds cool i guess, any input on any servers in primal?
faint flare
Any. None of them are preferred iirc so just go any of them
silent zodiac
I'll go behemoth then since it's the first one, i'll assume its high pop
twilit arch
behemoth is congested
silent zodiac
what does that mean
faint flare
They're all decently populated
twilit arch
so its currently locked to both new character creation and transfers
granite swan
Congested = no new char

oh, damn
granite swan
@twilit arch Thanks for that link :p
manic tinsel
can i xfer from mana to like aegis?
silent zodiac
Exodus?
faint flare
Yes
twilit arch
exodus is standard, so yeah you can make a character on there
granite swan
Aww, just missed the Amatsu gear, how rare of an event is that?
plain python
does Garuda/Titian/Ifrit Extreme trials related to any weapon quest?
granite swan
Hard Mode is, dont think extreme is
plain python
I did Hard version and found out they were part of Zodiac, so I have to do it again
ah ok
obsidian patio
Extreme is technically part of it for the kettle fists weapon
But that’s after 100% completing a zodiac weapon
ripe hound
Is there anything special I can get from S hunt that I can't get from A trains?
faint flare
Progress towards achievement for a sabertooth mount
ripe hound
kk Thanks Vinyl
plain python
how many seal per S hunt?
calm phoenix
S rank in ARR gave me 100 Allied Seals and 100 Poetics
plain python
what is a better way to use excessive tomestone? Buy something vendorable (i think 300 gil?) or turn them into ironwork accessories -> GC seal -> cordial?
faint flare
Buy unidentified items and buy soils
And sell on market
Soils sell pretty well
Primarily thalan

is it used for garden?

manic flare
why is that npc ai can use more than one rare card in their triple triad deck but i can't
do i need to rank up my triple triad rank or something?
so i can use more than one rare card?
obsidian patio
To keep them hard
crimson wind
why F/
@red junco because you nearly had 3 lines
obsidian patio
Best you can do is a deck with multiple 3-stars at 60 cards
crimson wind
What's the use of Six Sided Star
manic flare
@obsidian patio so t here's no point in using ultra legendary cards?
faint flare
When you have to disengage briefly or before the boss jumps away as a final hit
obsidian patio
You can still use a 4 or 5 star card in your deck
faint flare
Can SSS > TK then generate stacks back with Anatman
obsidian patio
But 4-stars are pretty pointless for the most part, yeah
faint flare
If possible
crimson wind
I was about to say "Why not TK?" But IG SSS is for shorter downtime
TK is for phase transitions I guese
obsidian patio
TK is basically for if you will lose GL no matter what
manic flare
@obsidian patio
i don't understand why
faint flare
TK is for when you know you'll lose it or when you can get it back with Anatman
manic flare
i can't even add a two star card to the deck
twilit arch
basically TK is for longer downtime
crimson wind
What's Anat's CD?

crimson wind
That sucks
manic flare
the t riple triad restrictions make no sense
crimson wind
But 30s is really long
faint flare
Downtime that long doesn't happen often
crimson wind
You get 45 seconds
manic flare
so i need a bunch of shitty cards in my deck just to use higher star cards?
faint flare
You can form shift spam
To keep stacks after getting them back
As form shift extends GL now
faint flare
Yes

I know i prob asked this but i prob didnt see the answer is there a way to track job quests
dapper maple
i dont suppose someone could help me with a relic reborn quest on ff xiv??? i need materia melded on a weapon ._.

They show under the main scenario tracker
You can use melder npcs @dapper maple
In cities
Marked on maps

oh! flipping great bless your soul ❤️
manic tinsel
is the exp bonuses on some home world negligible? i have friends on aegis but the game is recommending me to go to a different home world for exp bonuses
granite swan
its double all xp
faint flare
Preferred server bonus increases xp gain by 100% on everything
everything
You can still play together provided you're on the same data centre
manic tinsel
Thank you!
empty parrot
If you remove someone from your friend list, can they still teleport to your estate and track where you are?

yes, because removing them from your friendslist doesn't remove you from their's

celest bison
.... does account payment subscription follow PST as well? I just resubbed at midnight on EST and its saying that i resubbed on 12th instead of 13th...
I feel dumb
obsidian patio
I think it uses your local time
celest bison
Then why does it say that i resubbed on 12th , not 13th
Cuz its 13th where i am rn
And i resubbed after midnight (13th)
I guess it follows PST, rip me then

how does divination work? is it 3 different seal types? for example. sun, moon, celestial. for the max buff?
faint flare
Yes
You need 3 seals to use it
And its buff is strengthen for each different seal you have
zinc orbitBOT
tulip plover
Server ticks?
faint flare
Like with basically any job, you cant generate their resource out of combat
Yes, the server checks and updates things every 3s, like dot damage and mana regen ticks
tulip plover
Ah ok
faint flare
Channelled abilities will give their respective buff/resource on the server tick every 3s similar to dots doing damage
prime pecan
When you jump over to a new server with a friend can you trade?

@spare plinth depends on your internet/ping
ripe hound
I've just started playing SCH again, and it feels a bit weird.
Like I'm only at Lv 48.
But I came from AST, and I heard that SCH is like big mana healer.
But when I saw Aetherflow, 60s for 1000 mana, I was like "is this mana for ants?"
And an Adloquium costs 1000... Succor costs 1100....
I think things should become smoother once I unlock more oGCD heals...?
Also it feels like every single GCD heal heals only a little. But for some reason the tank just doesn't die.
remote lintel
@celest bison should be in character config > ui settings > hud
otherwise try hud layout and select it from the drop down menu
@ripe hound scholar gcd heals cost a lot and thats why you should use your ogcd heals
ripe hound
Yeah, I was doing a lv 40 dungeon, and I'm like "wut I don't even have a Heal 2"
For some reason the tank just doesn't die
celest bison
Wtf strange ok ty ill check that @remote lintel
remote lintel
sure
ripe hound
Since Fairy heals every 3 sec and hot pops every 3 sec
remote lintel
you should also be using illumination and whispering
lone zephyr
Best way to get company seals?
remote lintel
turn in gear
ripe hound
Yeah, used them. On one pull I used it after the tank pulled 2 groups. But the fairy is lagging behind so it didn't reach us.
The tank still lived for some reason.
lone zephyr
turn in gear
Wdym? Mind explaining?
twilit arch
you need to be sergeant second class to unlock expert deliveries
which lets you turn in green quality or higher gear for grand company seals
ripe hound
Basically every non-white gear you got can... what dafuq? You need Sergent 2nd?
remote lintel
yes
ripe hound
Insert: "I need Sergeant 2nd to get seals" " then level up!" "but I need seals to level up!" " then get seals!"
remote lintel
roulettes
ripe hound
Yeah roulettes and fates I guess?
twilit arch
if you aren't sergeant second class, do your grand company hunting log (need to do it anyway for promotions), fates, supply and delivery missions (requires crafter/gather unlocked), grand company leves
ripe hound
I think ARR fates give seals?
twilit arch
all fates but shb give seals
ripe hound
Oh yeah hunting log

in that case it's just
/em licks you
green grail
<t> can show up as "you" too fwiw
plain python
is summoner/scholar pet command hotbar worth to have it up? Pets don't have HP so their location is not matter. Maybe there is times you want your pet to stop attacking or to have better position?
unreal aspen
how long does it normally take people to clear a savage tier?
unreal aspen
like training wise i think?
potent lava
whats the actual tell when to active the shields during whorleater? whenever I do it when leviathan announces the move its always a bit too late
little swift
depends on skill and amount of time dedicated
soft flicker
i leveled a bard and a ninja and summoner/scholar to 50 and can't decide what to continue the msq on T_T
remote lintel
both
twilit arch
not really, main pet command you need are like sic, place, heel. all of which you can just put on your own hotbars @plain python
unreal aspen
from what i remember they changed msq to give you enough exp to cleanly level to 80 from it
so you could do one class msq and do your roulettes on another
marble drift
well if you enjoy all 3 class Chase
unreal aspen
but if you want good queue times scholars the best for that
remote lintel
@potent lava when the interact thing comes up iirc
soft flicker
yeah i was thinking that too..
little swift
basically as soon as you see leviathan go away is fine
unreal aspen
^ u can get a dps at 80, but queue as healer when queues are too long
marble drift
Summoner for quests, Scholar to expedite dungeon queues
gusty storm
should i be level 27 doing a level 20 quest
remote lintel
its fine imag
plain python
does fairy-related skills have range around the fairy or the scholar?
potent lava
well when i do that, leviathan sometimes does not do the raidwipe, and instead does soemthing else
gusty storm
oki
hot crane
if I made it to HoT after POTD, can I just enter Hot with another class?
proud willow
If Leviathan sinks down into the water, he's not doing his ultimate
zinc orbitBOT
proud willow
he jumps over the boat before doing it
remote lintel
the converter comes up right when hes about to do his move anyway
so just click it when it comes up
proud willow
it does, but on rare occasions the phases don't line up
remote lintel
proud willow
and the converter is there but he does the normal dive attacks instead of the ultimate
twilit arch
you can push him some times
to the point where he does dive and then shortly there after the ultimate
converter will be up during the dive
so its not always an indicator that the ultimate is happening next
plain python
how do you do the zodiac weapon book series? Fill every single objective of a book, and do it for every book?
unborn dock
if i remove the glamour on an item by using a glamour dispeller, will it remove the dye?
little swift
how do you do the zodiac weapon book series? Fill every single objective of a book, and do it for every book?
@plain python yes
unborn dock
you mean the base gear or the glam
@remote lintel the gear, i think? i want to remove the glam on a pair of gloves i used a glamour plate on.
remote lintel
if you dye an item, and then glamour over that item, the dye is gone
it's overridden by the glam
unborn dock
okie dokie.
ripe hound
I cannot meld any main stat to any gear right?
remote lintel
correct
ripe hound
If I want more HP I just need to get better ilv gear?
whole wasp
all gear gives vitality and higher level gear gives more vitality
more vitality = more hp
soft flicker
is black mage considered a hard job?
whole wasp
not really.
soft flicker
ic ic
shut kelp
in terms of doing max dps, yes
whole wasp
its uhh attacking mechanics are very simple
but they tend to lock you in place
so you gotta be very aware of when you can plop down and not move and when you are free to move to dodge attacks
shut kelp
you have to know, when to move
soft flicker
gotcha
whole wasp
the higher level you are, the easier it becomes actually
you get more and more abilities that let you cast instantly
soft flicker
playing thaumaturge at 22 and not sure if i like it or not
remote lintel
its boring at low lvl
soft flicker
it seems the idea is cool
remote lintel
but thats all classes
whole wasp
ahh, every class sucks at low level
leaden ginkgo
at low level blm is quite boring
soft flicker
yeah, i really want to decide on a "main" before i continue my msq into heavensward
whole wasp
anyway, dont be afraid to press swiftcast
soft flicker
so ive been leveling stuff up to 50 to feel them out
leaden ginkgo
what sort of stuff have you tried so far :o
soft flicker
ive tried bard to 53 arcanist to 50 and ninja to 52
i like all of them a good bit
probably ninja the most
leaden ginkgo
ahh fair play, yeah blm doesn’t really get that fun until later imo
soft flicker
but with ninja i feel like once mechanics get harder i might get overwhelmed by the hard rotation and the mechanics
whole wasp
ninja has a bit of a curve because you gotta memorize your mudras
soft flicker
yeah
and its going to change at like 76 too
so all of that memory ive learned will be gone
lol
leaden ginkgo
yeah ninja is kinda hard imo compared to blm at least for me
whole wasp
instead of the 5 or 6 out of the total 8 ninjutsus
soft flicker
i wasnt really considering blm that much but then i thought well maybe i'll like it more once i become an actual blm
leaden ginkgo
have you considered samurai
soft flicker
i have a level 50 sammurai, i played it right as i got it and didnt really feel that much for it?
whole wasp
they havent reached Stormblood yet tho
remote lintel
if you like hitting hard and feeling like a big brain when you dodge attacks then be a black mage
leaden ginkgo
ah fair
soft flicker
i wasnt against samurai but i didnt really feel anything for it either, i was just neutral
leaden ginkgo
ahh, I like it and it’s similar to blm in the aspect that it’s a selfish dps
you have the highest damage but no party utility
and since you liked nin I figure maybe you’d like Sam
soft flicker
i dont mind it being selfish dps or not, just trying ot find something i can gel with
shrewd owl
Samurai rly started picking up once I got it to... 62?
soft flicker
doesnt even have to be dps lol
shrewd owl
where you just build kenki like crazy
soft flicker
i tried pally to 32 and got pretty bored, it felt like literally nothing changed from like, level 10 to 32 lol
whole wasp
yea, once you unlock kenki and the extra kenki generation, it really picks up since you dont just only have the sticker collection to play with
leaden ginkgo
yeah alot of stuff starts picking up after 35~ some after 50
how about dragoon or monk? :o
dragoon is fun and flashy
soft flicker
i havent tried either of them yet
thats the annoying part is i have to basically commit to getting all the way to 50 before i can really tell if a class is fun lol
leaden ginkgo
what you looking for in a class? maybe we can point you in a direction
yeah it sucks sadly haha, only some jobs start at a higher level
plain python
does seal-increase item affect turn-in gear for seals?
twilit arch
yes
plain python
lol I should've known better
leaden ginkgo
ngl I didn’t know that until now too lol
soft flicker
yeah im not really sure what im feeling.. i don't like mega overly flashy stuff, and i usually like very hard rotations but (while i find ninja absolutely super fun) im just feeling like it might just be alot to deal with in hard content
i did a roulette with friends and got a snow dungeon with a big yeti where you have to hit him with snowballs
remote lintel
be summoner
remote lintel
its rotation is 2 mins long
leaden ginkgo
summoner has a hard rotation yeah
the opener is 2 minutes long
it’s like jenga the class
soft flicker
again that just sounds like a bit... much idk lol
leaden ginkgo
it’s also pretty fun
plain python
is Dancer capable to nuke a FATE boss by 1/3 of HP? I just saw one doing that 😮
soft flicker
i think im getting a bit overwhelmed because a hard class in wow is different tahn a hard class in final fantasy it seems lol
shrewd owl
probably technical step
remote lintel
^
plain python
so outside of Blue Mage which only grinds for itself, Dancer is best FATE farmer?
left moth
Either a step finisher or someone as blu ised missile to yeet things in half
plain python
I'm sure it was just me and Dancer
soft flicker
maybe i should try continuing my pally to a higher level, maybe it gets more fun
sorry, pally i mean paladin
pearl birch
Excuse me. Just looking for some tip.
twilit arch
I'd say all the physical ranged are pretty decent for fate farming if you're doing yokai
remote lintel
tanks are easier than dps
leaden ginkgo
I just got paladin to 80 and I’m finding it the most fun
soft flicker
at 32 it's just so unbearably boring to me unfortunately lmao
leaden ginkgo
a lot of party utility and pretty good damage for a tank
yeah at level 32 it’s so boring
you just unlock paladin from gladiator at 30
plain python
is there a class that use HP to deal damage and drain HP to upkeep his own HP?
leaden ginkgo
so it’ll be boring for a few levels
remote lintel
no momo
soft flicker
its the exact same as it was at 10 except for having liek a defensive cooldown lol, a bit frustrating
leaden ginkgo
no mono the closest thing is bloodbath on melee dps? But that’s pretty far from it
left moth
Would say dancer is best for basic fates for access to aoe early and any tank or blu for boss type fates (single enemy)
plain python
hm ok. I had an impression it was Dark Knight cuz of FF4, but seemed I'm wrong
leaden ginkgo
@soft flicker paladin is a pretty fun tank after 50 imo
soft flicker
gotcha gotcha
leaden ginkgo
you start unlocking magic and other cool stuff
soft flicker
maybe ill give it another shot
remote lintel
every tank has teh basic 123 combo tho
leaden ginkgo
you can solo bosses after like level 58 on paladin if your entire party dies in any normal dungeon
mossy current
Dark Knight used to have more dark knight-y abilities in previous expansions
soft flicker
i find that disappointing, the 123 combo thing
remote lintel
almost all classes in the game have 123 combos
leaden ginkgo
^
mossy current
Darkside, Dark Arts, Blood Price
remote lintel
thats how the game works
soft flicker
isnt that just for the melees?
remote lintel
no
soft flicker
casters dont really seem to have that
remote lintel
almost all classes
leaden ginkgo
paladin later has a damage over time you have to maintain with a different combo, and then damage buffs you have to maintain with magic abilities or normal
so it becomes less of a 123 too
soft flicker
ic ic, that sounds interesting
soft flicker
idk why its just the literak "hit 1, then 2, then 3, then 1, then 2, then 3" thing just annoys me a bit
literal*
remote lintel
you weave things between
soft flicker
gotcha, i dont think you can for ninja
leaden ginkgo
yeah it really improves later
remote lintel
yes
soft flicker
if you weave stuff in it cancels your combo
leaden ginkgo
yeah every class has weaving
mossy current
Even Blue Mage
leaden ginkgo
paladin has little weaving tho if that’s what you’re looking for
leaden ginkgo
kinda tru
soft flicker
im just getting ancy because theres like, the big MSQ looming over me that i need to get done, and i cant decide on something to play lol
ahh i see
mossy current
Don't rush it and get used to the system!
leaden ginkgo
haha yeah it’s nicer knowing what you want to main when completing the msq
because the msq gives decent xp
soft flicker
yeah exactly
and im just gonna have to be going through ti for a while
i dont want to hit 70 and then be like ehhh i dont really like this
and have to swap lol
remote lintel
theres plenty of other ways to level besides msq
karmic niche
BLM a bit confusing
leaden ginkgo
summoner though is a pretty nice class if you want to consider it
mossy current
Armory Bonus exists to help EXP gain for jobs/classes of a lower level
karmic niche
i can't get 3 stack of umbral
leaden ginkgo
and it also gives you scholar so if you hit level 80 on summoner you’ll be able to have level 80 scholar instantly
karmic niche
even it said the skill grand me 3 stacks
mossy current
Use Blizzard 3
remote lintel
which skill
soft flicker
i have summoner at 50 and its fun right now but the whole 2 minute rotation thing sounds veyr offputting honestly lol
karmic niche
fire 3
left moth
If dont want 123 bread and butter combos the only real choices are bard, healers (since no combos at all) kinda dancer (fan rng), smn, blm (static rotation), monk (ugly until 5.4) and maybe red mage (alternate skills)
karmic niche
and freeze
leaden ginkgo
honestly it’s not that bad when / if you learn it
leaden ginkgo
(The rotation)
soft flicker
yeah i gotcha
leaden ginkgo
people say it’s pretty complicated but I personally found blm more than summoner
mossy current
Or Umbral Hearts
remote lintel
those are both ice
mossy current
Yes
remote lintel
so fire 3 has nothing to do with it
soft flicker
the spells im spamming at level 22 as blm are petty much the ones im spamming later on right?
with procs in between?
remote lintel
basically
black mage is just blizzard > thunder > fire > repeat until the end of time
mossy current
There is a trait that increases the amount of stacks of UI/AF you can have
leaden ginkgo
you earn like fire 1-4 same with ice 1-4 and some of the earlier ones you won’t use again
soft flicker
ic ic
mossy current
If you can't get a higher stack, level up a bit
left moth
Once have heart stacks unlocked fire 3 and flare become cheaper so can use them more
mossy current
Use F3 only on proc or going from UI to AF
Or opener
Flare is great for AoE by Umbral Hearts
mossy current
What level are you enles
left moth
I still prefer ice/t3 opener but im not a surious blm since im too smooth brain to use triple cast as mobility option
karmic niche

outer plank
astral fire = that stack around you
mossy current
Astral Fire 3 is available at a later level
remote lintel
@round whale no, you just get a class to 50 and then do the unlock quest for samurai
leaden ginkgo
Samurai starts at level 50
round whale
ooo but do I need an expansion to unlock that class?
leaden ginkgo
so it’s easier than other classes too
remote lintel
yes, stormblood
round whale
so I have to maintain the subscription in order to play samurai?
karmic niche
that what i meant
remote lintel
yes
karmic niche
it doesnt give me 3 orbs
outer plank
you dont have the trait that lets you ignore that yet
mossy current
However, level 3 is available at level 40

it only have 2 orbs

does it say lower level that you still get AF3, pre-level 40? I thought it just said maximum stacks or something

so as of now the game is free up to heavensward right?

just going to say that the tooltips listed by the xivapi are going to be what they are at lvl 80
@karmic niche
outer plank
freeze is an aoe
round whale
then whats the point of buying the starter pack on the store
outer plank
bliizard is single target
twilit arch
because trial doesn't give you ownership of the game
remote lintel
so you can buy dlc @round whale
round whale
since it covers up to heavensward
remote lintel
you can't buy dlc without a base game
round whale
oh so leme clarify
twilit arch
it just lets you the game out, so you still need to own the starter edition to make use of shadowbringers
round whale
u gotta buy the full game for 59.99 then pay a 13.99 sub fee per month?
twilit arch
yes
remote lintel
yes

karmic niche
give the 3rd stack
round whale
lol
remote lintel
thats all classes
mossy current
Yes enles
outer plank
essentially for now, use freeze when you need aoe and need to go into your ice phase for mp and fire 2 when your aoeing in your fire phase @karmic niche
if its single target
leaden ginkgo
ngl paladin early levelling was the most depressing for me compared to other jobs
outer plank
blizzard and fire
round whale
i mean im 30 now
mossy current
Isiahhhhh
round whale
so at least i get my combos
round whale
wait so even if i buy a level boost for another class i have yet to unlock, I can't use it?
raw solstice
because F2 is slow cast and too costly and you lose damage when you swap between AF and UI
zinc orbitBOT
leaden ginkgo
if you guys want I can post the blm recommended rotations for levelling from the balance
raw solstice
more than you gain from using F2 in AF
remote lintel
@round whale buying a level boost automatically unlocks the class and finishes all its quests
twilit arch
until you upgrade to full game
remote lintel
assuming you own the game
outer plank
@karmic niche btw i know fire 3 is stronger the fire 1, but keep using fire 1 because you'll be doing more damage over time. if you spam fire 3 you'll be going into your ice phase more often. basically fire 3 is inefficient (FOR THE TIME BEING) until you get fire starter, and until you get the free phase swap by using fire 3 or ice 3
keep using fire 1
round whale
ooo so i can essentially buy a class boost and just start playing it?
outer plank
then when you get the fire starter trait
leaden ginkgo
yep the class will be at level 70
outer plank
use fire 3 procs
remote lintel
i wouldnt recommend it for your first class
since youll be synced down anyway
and waste exp
karmic niche
yeah f1 do more dps than f3
round whale
i see
karmic niche
because of the speed
mossy current
Yea
round whale
well then in that case i'll probably just lvl to 50 on paladin
raw solstice
speed and MP yeah
left moth
@rugged flicker since the cs viewer at inns are based off journal entries its down to hoping can figure which quest something was consolidated into. If it was dialog then youre basiclly screwed into doing new game+
mossy current
Tiff are you looking to play Sam
outer plank
@karmic niche essentially, blm doesn't really come into its own until i wanna say level 60 when you finally get fire 4
round whale
yesh
mossy current
While on trial?
round whale
no
slate crow
How do I talk to one person on another world? I’m trying to set up party via PF, but I can’t reply to people in other worlds.
mossy current
Okay
rugged flicker
@left moth Oh that's how they did it?
mossy current
Just being sure
karmic niche
oh i see
outer plank
@slate crow are you on trial?
rugged flicker
I heard they removed all the goofy Sylph hijinx with the Scions tho.
round whale
any tips to level fast when u run out of class and story quests?
outer plank
im pretty sure you can't whisper people on trial? am i wrong?
slate crow
I’m not.
outer plank
they might be busy then, sometimes you cant whisper people if they're in a instance
you should be able to whisper someone cross world
if they;re in your data center
mossy current
You can talk to someone via a /tell, Cross World Linkshell or Cross World Party
rugged flicker
@slate crow If they aren't on your friend list, you gotta travel to their world to talk to them.
mossy current
/tells work across worlds
outer plank
^
rugged flicker
Never works with me when I try unless they're on my friend list.
mossy current
Nah
round whale
wait enemies gain stun resistant as I stun them multiple times?
rugged flicker
And I know they aren't on a duty because the second I go over to their world I can talk to them when I couldn't before.
round whale
it halves every successive stun?
outer plank
@round whale unless your a white mage kappa
mossy current
No the stun on holy has a limit
remote lintel
white mage stun has a limit
round whale
imagine playing mage and having to pre cast
outer plank
ah
round whale
i tried playing summoner and boy leme tell ya
waiting 2 seconds for ruin to come out
remote lintel
summoner has a lot of instant casts
round whale
i almost fell asleep
remote lintel
i mean white mage has 4 second cast times
left moth
Yes 3 stuns max except in special cases where its one stun to stop a special cast from going off or multiple stuns to inturrupt)
round whale
what am i suppose to do for 4 seconds?
remote lintel
not white
round whale
browse twitter?
leaden ginkgo
not play a caster I guess :p
mossy current
Wrong place to complain about it, but yes. Casters cast
remote lintel
round whale
i mean i prefer combo oriented classes
remote lintel
they do have combos
mossy current
All up to preference
round whale
but still 4 seconds is quite harsh
leaden ginkgo
summoner at level 80 is basically a non casting caster
round whale
not gonna lie
mossy current
4 seconds is for like 2-4 abilities
mossy current
61-70
fiery gust
Can I do the Ishtar restoration at lvl 28 BSM?
raw solstice
4s cast is only Flare
tulip plover
Ok cool
round whale
so bm go big bang boom boom?
mossy current
@fiery gust yes
round whale
very ineteresting
raw solstice
and you generally have some sps that lowers that, too
leaden ginkgo
samurai also go Big Bang boom for damage but without the explosions
fiery gust
Thanks, is there any tutorial on how to get started?
mossy current
Despair sometimes feels really slow when I'm not in Ley Lines
raw solstice
it's a bit slow but it's still only 3s
round whale
especially with their dps rotations
remote lintel
do it anyway if you want to
raw solstice
and that's only 3s with base sps haha
round whale
nahhh i've been playing summoners in other MMOs too
i might wanna try out smt fresh
and sam looks fresh
its like complexity without the garbo clutter
leaden ginkgo
sam is the highest damage in the game which is pretty neat
remote lintel
one of them
leaden ginkgo
it runs like a well oiled machine doing the rotation correct
remote lintel
its tied
leaden ginkgo
yeah one of them, depending on the encounters
remote lintel
all rotations are smooth when done right
leaden ginkgo
for sam at least yeah
round whale
i dont want a class to feel clunky
manic flare
why can't i storoe anything in my armoire?
leaden ginkgo
yeah pretty much all rotations are smooth
remote lintel
armoire is for special stuff like event gear
leaden ginkgo
but Sam does feel nicer to me
round whale
like i know some classes rotate instant cast and slow cast
i dont think i like inconsistencies in my playstyle
mossy current
Store it in the glamor dresser if you like the look of it
manic flare
@remote lintel so only retainers and chocobo saddle are the only ways to store excess inventory items?
whole wasp
yup
remote lintel
yes
manic flare
can i rent a chest
round whale
oh how is the gear treadmill on ff14?
remote lintel
linear
manic flare
@remote lintel @mossy current what if i buy a home
whole wasp
timegated and linear
manic flare
can i store items there
remote lintel
only furniture
mossy current
No
manic flare
wtf
leaden ginkgo
you can rent retainers
round whale
is it raid oriented?
whole wasp
you get to shortcut if you can do raid content. else you get it 3 weeks later with the rest of the non-raider
round whale
or farmmable
leaden ginkgo
raids provide the best gear tiff yeah
whole wasp
you can be BiS without raiding. you just take longer
manic flare
what do i guys do with all the extra crafting items u get from battles and quests/
remote lintel
sell
leaden ginkgo
but you can also farm or buy below the best gear from the market
manic flare
they are filling my inventory
mossy current
Sell them
remote lintel
sell them
leaden ginkgo
yeah the best gear is always from raiding so that won’t disappoint you :p
manic flare
on markeboard or just npc vendors@mossy current ?
mossy current
If you can easily get them, you can always easily get them again when you need them
NPC
MB if it's good price
round whale
i heard food items increase ur exp gain right?
whole wasp
3%
mossy current
Yes
remote lintel
by 3%
leaden ginkgo
ye by 3%
round whale
kekw
whole wasp
and its dirt cheap
round whale
3%
leaden ginkgo
if you don’t wanna pay a lot for food
manic flare
do food items stack?
leaden ginkgo
just buy “mineral water” or eggs
manic flare
the exp bonus stuff
remote lintel
no
deft yarrow
is there a 'best' class to set your retainers to? (I only have 2)
mossy current
Just buy catboi bath water
whole wasp
no, you can only have the effects of one kind of food at a time
manic flare
what if i eat different food with exp bonus@remote lintel ?
leaden ginkgo
3% is nothing but better than no 3%
remote lintel
@deft yarrow combat and gatherer
whole wasp
but you can stack the timer for 2 of the same food up to 1 hour max
mossy current
Exp bonus on food does not stack
whole wasp
or 1.5 hour if you have the food duration buff
remote lintel
@manic flare it will override your old food
deft yarrow
1 combat and 1 gatherer? doesn't matter what combat and what gatherer?
mossy current
It stacks with different sources of exp buffs though
manic flare
what is the best supplementary DoH or DoL job for summoner class?
remote lintel
@deft yarrow fisher makes less gil
manic flare
weaver?
whole wasp
All of them
remote lintel
all of them
manic flare
what
mossy current
Combat doesn't matter as long as you're leveling the job he's assigned to
whole wasp
also crafting/gathering is optional
mossy current
@manic flare alchemist makes the weapon, but generally, all of them for easier life
deft yarrow
so for example, lancer/miner would fit into this 'best' option?
whole wasp
you dont need it if you just want to PvE
manic flare
what does crafting jobs give you?
mossy current
Gil
manic flare
oh so it's just a moneymaker?
mossy current
And easier life
whole wasp
chance to earn gil but you gotta read the market
elder veldt
Some attacks bosses do have red aoes instead of orange do they denote different things or is it just aesthetic? I first noticed it in the ||vault|| dungeon
whole wasp
craft the latest glamour, repair your own gear and overmelding
manic flare
what is overmelding
whole wasp
overmelding lets you slot more materias than normal in gears
warped nest
Some gears have hidden slots that can be melded
whole wasp
but those only work on white/green gear
mossy current
Melding upwards of 5 materia to certain gear, over the usual 2-3 slots
warped nest
Not always white
whole wasp
if you have tomestone/raid gear, its not applicable
warped nest
Gear that cannot be overmeld are identified by Advanced Melding Forbidden in their item description

warped nest
Roulette for daily exp > dungeon > potd/hoh
whole wasp
yes, its 
round whale
or do i just follow my quests till i drop
manic flare
how much better is the gear u get from dungeons/raids compared to marketboard?
whole wasp
just do MSQ, fastest way and it unlocks everything
remote lintel
everything is locked behind story
whole wasp
marketboard only gives you entry level gear
warped nest
how much better is the gear u get from dungeons/raids compared to marketboard?
@manic flare you need to compare item level and primary stat
granite swan
@round whale You spend a month in MSQ Hell, then you get to play the game :p
whole wasp
raid/tomestone gear will be better
round whale
they tend to give pretty sick gear
whole wasp
but you can buy marketboard gear to skip tiers basically
remote lintel
except the leves or the class ones
whole wasp
unlocks stuff
remote lintel
you can skip those
whole wasp
can be optional dungeons or minions or emotes etc etc
do them if you wanna
can be ignored
they are mostly for story/lore
do them if you like them
manic flare
ifind that the markeboard has much b etter gear than what i get from quests and dungeons
does this change later on in the game?
round whale
yea im only doing class and msq
manic flare
i leveled up pretty quickly this game, so my level is much higher than my quest level
round whale
blue quest as in class quests?
remote lintel
no
deft yarrow
is there a way to change the transparency of individual hotbars?
whole wasp
@manic flare thats fine, just do your
nova sphinx
@remote lintel I actually came here to ask another question, but this on always bothered me. Some + quests are gated by normal quests. Is there a list of quests which aren't explicitly blue ones, but are requirements to unlock blue ones?
warped nest
And click the cog icon for each hotbar
remote lintel
all content is story locked @nova sphinx
whole wasp
im pretty sure those are fixed. All prerequiste that unlock are now
deft yarrow
omg I was reading that wrong lol, I thought the slider designated the size
whole wasp
except of course
remote lintel
that too
deft yarrow
thanks ❤️ ❤️
nova sphinx
How recent was that fix, @whole wasp ?
left moth
@elder veldt hw started standardizing the visual tells for most mechanics so thats probably why (for a targeted aoe with or without the circle, regardless of if it produced a ground effect/damage on contact)
signal cradle
bit of a weird question but i noticed while crafting sometimes i get a weird pop of white light around me, does anyone know what it does by chance?
remote lintel
with 5.1 I believe?
round whale
just curious how long will it take from 31-50
warped nest
omg I was reading that wrong lol, I thought the slider designated the size
@deft yarrow so you good now?
remote lintel
not long tiff
whole wasp
the latest i remember is the patch when they added qitari
so 5.3?
because one of the that unlocked that beast tribe was changed to
round whale
oh is there autorun here?
warped nest
bit of a weird question but i noticed while crafting sometimes i get a weird pop of white light around me, does anyone know what it does by chance?
@signal cradle good condition
left moth
Sounds about right for visual tell for condition change to good or excellent
whole wasp
oh is there autorun here?
yes, i bound it to MMB
warped nest
Sometimes you will see rainbow that's Excellent, dull red/black is Poor
signal cradle
@signal cradle good condition
@warped nest what does that do if im quick synthing?
nova sphinx
Hmm. Okay, maybe. I remember with the Firmament delivery unlocks one of them were locked by that, so that would make sense that it was fixed between then and now.
round whale
OMG I HAVE BEEN PRESSING W FOR 2 DAYS
whole wasp
doesnt do anything in quick synth
signal cradle
@whole wasp oh alright ty guys !
nova sphinx
How do people successfully make end game crafting gear?
whole wasp
they buy it or grind their butts off
to make it themselves
and the true 5head
grind their butts off to sell it
mossy current
Then buy more
leaden ginkgo
if you have phantasmagoria you can buy one of the recipes
nova sphinx
I'm using the level 80 II gear from W Scrips, and Materia enhanced my accessories, but I can't make the Aesthete's stuff. Do you really need to go to Facet -> HQ Facet -> Aesthete's -> HQ Aesthete's? Because that seems to be the only way to have high enough level requirements.
whole wasp
scrip gear is usually the cheap entry set
also skip NQ, its not worth it
not caught up on crafting but i crafted my HQ facet in lvl 70 scrip gear iirc

Howdy, complete newbie who has yet to even download the game... FF games were a lot of my childhood and I recently had a video pop up on YouTube about an extended free trial for this game. I want to give it a try but to avoid just being confused want to read over any useful (non-spoiler) material. Is the sidebar on reddit a good source of info or is there anything you guys would recommend reading/watching?
whole wasp
Free Trial for this game is forever, there is no time limit
only a level limit
honestly just hop in, there is no way to accidentally screw over your character
merry umbra
Ah awesome that is good to know!
zinc orbitBOT
merry umbra
Thanks 🙂
whole wasp
FT limits are mostly social. Have fun~
marble drift
well the major gameplay restrictions are the gil cap, inability to play 4 of the classes due to lack of expansion and the inability to use retainers which cuts you off from the marketboard
but the game is plenty playable
rich solar
hey how do you get your first mount in the game, through the main story line?

lv 20 msq after you pick your grand company

is there much difference between the 3 grand companies
obsidian patio
Basically just visual difference in their equipment

Any idea how much longer Yokai will go on for?

Hopefully people are still doing it. Might try collecting more weapons.
plain python
how do you deal with weapon armorny? 22 combat classes, 8 craft and 3 gather leave so few rooms for desire
and I only like 10 classes plus crafters
little swift
there's enough room
twilit arch
just to note, its 18 combat jobs
obsidian patio
So 5 spare slots not counting the slot needed to swap gearsets
shut kelp
is there a way to check, how many people are in an instance?
warped nest
Take note that crafters and gatherer should be sharing
And most of your combat jobs should be too
warped nest
Ahhh, weapon armoury
granite swan
Hm i forget, where is the place u mark which hotbars are shared across class and which arent?
twilit arch
character config > hotbar settings
round whale
any recommended worlds to join if I have a preference for raids?
or do i just join whatever that's available
proud willow
It's okay to join whatever's available
all content is cross-datacenter and you won't find a datacenter where you can't raid
granite swan
But i think Crystal is the worst of NA for raids, if i remember reading right :p
twilit arch
its raid scene is smaller, yeah but you can still find people to raid with
potent lava
So in essence, astrologian actualy only has two arcana cards?
Or do they become more varied in later levels
twilit arch
nope, you've got two minor arcana
All cards increase damage, bole/ewer/spire give a bigger boost to ranged, balance/spear/arrow give a bigger boost to melee
once you hit 50, those cards will also gain a seal
moon, sun, celestial
which in turn dictates how much dmg boost divination gives. 3 different seals is the biggest boost

Does anyone know
where to find japanese voice lines for 14?

you would need to use a tool to data mine the voice lines, they're not sitting in a folder somewhere

so I'm currently 67 and I just found out about Palace of the Dead from the Heaven on High quest. Is it important to unlock those right now? and am I extremely late to do POTD which would make it tedious to run? the quest is level 17 i think
trail mulch
use the compass? :p
@granite swan laughs in i used it and i really cant read maps
gusty pasture
and so if I would do potd, should I grab a new job just to make use of it?
little swift
this one
proud willow
PotD won't give significant experience to a level 67, but you can use it to level up other classes
trail mulch
you should see how bad i am with google maps irl its not even funny
little swift
is the one you're missing
gusty pasture
PotD won't give significant experience to a level 67, but you can use it to level up other classes
would you recommend me getting a level 1 job just to make use of the exp?

Can I ask story/lore questions here?
