vivid thorn
so Hades EX is about as hard as E1S or E5S?
calm phoenix
vivid thorn
I think Hades EX is harder than Titania/Innocence EX
raw solstice
well nah that was a good sanity check to make sure of, too
calm phoenix
There is no "raid" anything anywhere in my journal! Not even under categories that are blank
leaden ginkgo
are these... sort of broken? 150% xp when crafting/gathering 18 hrs? or am i reading it wrong
warped seal
@calm phoenix Have you gone to Urianger at the Waking Sands to even start the questline? Yes or no.
faint flare
They only get you a set amount of bonus xp
obsidian patio
They list a maximum amount of EXP that they can boost
faint flare
Listed on the item
faint flare
Yes
calm phoenix
How many times do I have to tell you that he has no quests for me? I am in and out of there constantly
deft yarrow
can you have more than 1 of these relic quests active at once? and have them on the same step?
warped seal
Don't get snippy with me or you'll spend a long time in a mute.
faint flare
Yes but not the same step
glossy flare
How many times do I have to tell you that he has no quests for me? I am in and out of there constantly
@calm phoenix Dude, people are trying to help you, calm down
obsidian patio
The quest for it appears after completing Titan hard, so if you haven’t been there since then it wouldn’t be there.
pliant canopy
I've got glitchy BG in out of bounds areas and the light level changes drastically without warning. Is there something I can do? It's giving me a headache
deft yarrow
will abandoning the quest on a wep mean I have to start from the very beginning with that wep?
obsidian patio
And at the point of the story that’s basically the last time you would go to the waking sands
calm phoenix
But I have completed Titan hard. You saw the checkmark by it in my screenshot
obsidian patio
Yes I know
warped seal
You still have to turn in the quests for them to be flagged complete
not just having the green check on the sidebar
glossy flare
yeah, completing the duty and completing the associated quest are two different things
you can do one without the other
obsidian patio
Based on an earlier pic they did turn in Titan’s HM quest
gusty storm
ahh i dont know what i should be doing for aoe, i am a level 34 summoner. i think i should use miasma bio, then in the gcd use energy drain bane and fester
but idk lol
faint flare
Outburst, energy siphon, bane dots and garuda egi
faint flare
Is general aoe
glossy flare
garuda egi is lvl 45
obsidian patio
Might also need to complete Primal Nature for Bahamut/coil?
faint flare
Still summon 1
glossy flare
true
gusty storm
ok so i should just not bother with aoe and just single target somebody?
faint flare
Use the egi assaults from emeralds then ST stuff down
calm phoenix
Urinager is nowhere in the Waking Sands 😦
faint flare
Until you get more
gusty storm
oki
glossy flare
once you get garuda you'll have way better aoe options
obsidian patio
Guess you might need to send in a bug report then. :/

@calm phoenix Did you go downstairs and go inside the door?
@granite swan There is no stairs since the move to Revenant's Toll

young locust
how come i can't use the pants in my glamour plate on my weaver?
glossy flare
can you screen the mouseover for your equipped pants too?
calm phoenix
No Bahamut quest there either. Just two normal side quests without the plus symbol
granite swan
What quests?
glossy flare
yeah those pants are lvl 1 and the glamour is lvl 5
young locust
lol ah i see
obsidian patio
You can’t glamour higher level stuff onto lower level stuff
calm phoenix
It is there now. Weird, it only appeared after I went into the Solar and back out?
granite swan
maybe it bugged and had an old saved instance of it or something?
calm phoenix
He had like four + quests dealing with some primals that I already faced on hard. Maybe extreme stuff?
little swift
yes there are extreme versions as well
fresh lodge
Yeah, they're the extreme versions of primals you've already beaten
granite swan
did he also have Primal Awakening quest?
calm phoenix
I know a bit about the Leviathan one because I watch my brother-in-law do it for wonderous tales on a weekly bases
So the old hideout has some use even after the Scions moved
open coral
A little bit, yes
granite swan
cuz mister hermit is annoying that way :p
calm phoenix
Yes. He had primal awakening
signal rover
How can I level, besides Level Roulette, MCH from 31 to 35?
Do I really just have to FATE spam 😦 ?

Doing leveling roulette more than once a day for the bonus is not recommended actually

also

Palace of the Dead is an option also

Even if my level is synced lower I can still wear my current level equipment right?

Gear will be synced to the highest ilvl of that period, unless stated elsewhere on the duty finder (these dungeons have a square next to them showing lower sync than what the standard sync puts)

you lose it after stormblood

i'd be surprised if someone got to shb before hitting 7 days of playtime

yeah the only real way is boosting
which's why sprouts in very late shb content are an oh god oh jeez oh no

if you're an alt though, wouldn't you just want to turn the sprout off

ah i c
agile laurel
or just want to scare people and be chaotic neutral i guess
agile laurel
i had one in my SoS ex pf the other day who was perfectly competent, was only much later i noticed the sprout

if the stormblood one had a long queue I can't imagine how long the hw one will be xD

the buff "If you get defeated, you get stronger". Does it stack and how many times?
cosmic reef
For trials, an Echo bonus may be applied to the party in the event of a wipe, up to five times. This bonus is either a 5% or 10% boost (per increment).
For older raid content, the Echo is a fixed bonus automatically applied to the party. The strength of the Echo varies based on duty, and will not increase.
It really depends on what you're running
And most have a requirement of playtime in an trial
Like a 30 second attempt won't add echo
But a 2 minute attempt will

are the class specific quests in shadowbringers (Dps, tank, healer) relevant to the storyline at all? Ive skipped every cut scene but wondering if i need to go back and watch them all before beating shadowbringers

Are there any ballpark figures on how long or expansive leveling crafting is via ishagard?

if its just 1 fight it will be abot 10 minutes

I know nothing of raids in this game, is it 6-10 bosses that you have to progress through?

Raids have like a 2 hour time limit dont they? or does savage change that?

Clearing one allows you to go to the next

Hey new player here. I've been trying to connect to the Sargatanas server but the game keeps crashing.
Is that normal?
dapper shadow
in an instance, you face only 1 boss. You finish the instance if you manage to beat it.
granite swan
@sweet leaf Character Config -> Control Settings -> Character -> Battle Effects
isnt the 1 boss per instance just eden? nier is all 6 in 1 zone
faint flare
We're talking high end
sweet leaf
ty, they were already enabled too xD
faint flare
Nier is casual
Though ultimate is basically WoW Mythic but you fight all bosses at once, no breaks or anything
And all mechanics are mixed together
dapper shadow
1 floor = 1 boss, which are separate instances that can be queued at different times.
plain python
is Palace of Dead good for DPS classes to level up as alternative of long-dungeon queue?
silent zodiac
If you are in a guild and doing raid night, is it common to go floor by floor, wiping over and over and doing progression? I'm a WoW refugee and trying to compare raiding experience
faint flare
Yes
granite swan
Yeah if you get 51-60 floor of PoTD
faint flare
Thats progression
remote lintel
you clear all the floors that you know how to do and progress the one you're learning
silent zodiac
Assuming ultimate vs mythic in WoW, is difficulty similar? Like 100+ wipes isn't unheard of for the hardest bosses in raids?
faint flare
You basically skip the trash and running between bosses in favour for Separate instance
Ultimates take over hundreds of hours to learn and clear
remote lintel
ultimates can be 14-18 mins long
silent zodiac
Awesome, that's what I wanted to hear
I was worried raiding in this game would be easier in comparison
remote lintel
no
faint flare
And they're the longest fights where you'll be fighting fatigue

like if 2 people are standing too close to each other, you all wipe

There's a big focus on the mechanic dance

Wait Mythic in WoW is 20 people, ultimate in this game is only 8?

I think the fight design is a bit different. Mechanics are handled much differently between the games. WoW seems a lot more reactive while XIV is much more telegraphed/scripted.
faint flare
Yes
silent zodiac
and the 4 can be any combo you want, or is it like 1 melee, 1 ranged, 2 magic, etc
dapper shadow
ideally no dubilicate jobs 1 ranged 1 caster 1 melee and the other dps anything you want
silent zodiac
so you can't have 2 melees, a machinist, and a bard?
remote lintel
oh right
versed geyser
Sorry to be a bother but is it common to have server issue during a rebuild event? I tried to connect to Sargatanas server at least ten times but it's been crashing my game.
remote lintel
thats not optimal aesyric
faint flare
You're losing party bonus
dapper shadow
you can have 1 melee, 1 caster, 1 mch , and 1 bard
faint flare
Thats dup classes
brave ravine
@versed geyser start with a simple example. Make a char on another server and see if you crash
faint flare
Ehhhhhh
silent zodiac
So assuming you are playing "correctly" you must have 2 different tanks, 2 different healers, and atleast 1 melee, one ranged physical, and one magic?
remote lintel
yes
faint flare
Yes
versed geyser
@brave ravine Okay I'll try that and see if I still crash
hazy shadow
Is there a clear identifier for stacking icons in game?
remote lintel
@hazy shadow its the bigass orange arrows around 1 person
dapper shadow
my static has 2 dragoons lel
remote lintel
it blinks brightly and makes a noise
dapper shadow
doesnt really help but doable XD
faint flare
We have BRD/MCH, double troub/tact is soooo nice 
silent zodiac
when you say optimal, do you mean you can still kill the boss, even on ultimate, without that specific set up?
hazy shadow
I saw that at the Pool of Tribute but Alexander Soul of the Creator does not have that.
silent zodiac
Or if you don't do it you are trolling
faint flare
Yes
remote lintel
yes aesyric
brave ravine
what kind of party bonus when everyone is a diff job?
faint flare
You can clear anything
remote lintel
you can kill the boss with whatever you want
faint flare
With any comp
remote lintel
but theres an optimal way
dapper shadow
(even if its first week?)
mild ermine
Does anyone know when the most opportune time to use Tornado Kick on Monk is?
And how I get the grease lightning stacks back up quickly?
silent zodiac
Okay, good to know. Last question: Does any content in this game go beyond 8 players on one team?
faint flare
24mans
faint flare
But those are casual
silent zodiac
Like LFR in WoW?
dapper shadow
also BaLdEsIoN aRSoNaL
remote lintel
we dont talk about baldesion
mild ermine
It feels like I'm not even supposed to use Tornado Kick at all. It removes all of my grease lightning stacks, so it feels like a dps loss :/
faint flare
@mild ermine TK is for when you know you'll lose GL or when you can Anatman back your stacks
Otherwise you dont use it
mild ermine
Wow really?
faint flare
Yes
mild ermine
So its literally a dead move? :
dapper shadow
you'd pair tornado kick with SSS when boss is going to go invuln
faint flare
Now you see why people say the design of monk is ass
dapper shadow
or ending the fight
faint flare
Yep
mild ermine
Wtf
dapper shadow
yes it is
remote lintel
welcome to monk
faint flare
And thats why its being reworked
dapper shadow
monkaS
faint flare
Alot of mnk stuff conflicts itseld
mild ermine
Yes it really does :/
mild ermine
Also .. I wish meditation was a weaveable skill is it weird to want that?
dapper shadow
it still does shit ton of damage though so its ok on that front
mild ermine
Yeah but chance based stacks? ):
I mean out of combat you can use it to full stack
But chance based stacks doesn't seem like a good mechanic to me
faint flare
A very high chance
mild ermine
But still chance. Does any other class have something like that?
dapper shadow
it averages out. It is not a big imperative on your overall dps
mild ermine
Why does monk a class about training and strengthening your body, have chance based mechanics? Isn't that weird? ):
remote lintel
¯_(ツ)_/¯
mild ermine
If it was NIN, BRD, MCH, DNC, I would totally get it
I guess all my years of rpg'ing has meant nothing
dapper shadow
i cant imagine NIN having chance based procs
faint flare
All the years of academy training, wasted
mild ermine
I've played many rpgs where rogues, ninjas , assassins have crit/chance based skills
dapper shadow
nor MCH
mild ermine
Old MCH was so awful
remote lintel
ninja just puts a vuln on the enemy
mild ermine
Yeah I know o: TA is nice
radiant sierra
so me and my friends just got to the grand company part of the msq, should we all pick the same one? or does it not matter?
remote lintel
doesnt matter
faint flare
Doesn't matter
dapper shadow
picking the same one is nice. I do that with my friends so we can be grand company buddies. But in reality it doesnt matter

crimson wind
Is it possible for a BLM to have 100% GCD uptime?
warped nest
Probably no
crimson wind
if they're doing their rotation correctly
remote lintel
would be really hard
faint flare
And be somewhat lucky with procs and management there
warped nest
In practice... You don't play alone
crimson wind
No I mean because Fire 4 clips GCD
crimson wind
...
warped nest
Or however it is spelled
crimson wind
Scathe.
potent lava
can you cast lord/queen of crowns on teammates/other people?

Does anyone know at what point in the main story do we unlock level 70 yellow scrip dol/doh gear?

What's the drop rate for Shinny scales, and can I Desynth for them?
shut kelp
is physick useless for scholar at higher levels?
potent lava
mmm im been doing it on random people on the street for now
but Minor Arcana basically acts as another Play, yes?
warped nest
@potent lava minor Arcana play the card, giving stronger buff, but doesn't give you seals
faint flare
Its the bottom of the barrel
crimson wind
Glare, Broil, Malefic, etc
crimson wind
I was doing Heroes Gauntlet on 475 SCH with a 450 PLD, and even then I never had to use Physick
That's how useless Physick is
even with shitty ilvls
warped nest
Does anyone know at what point in the main story do we unlock level 70 yellow scrip dol/doh gear?
@violet star I would say completing the 4.0 msq
potent lava
Ah I see
Last one, undraw is useless isnt it.?
remote lintel
yes
trim rover
Can someone tell me if the emote for a Dragoon where they Backflip is the Backflip emote from the Mogstation?
trim rover
Ah ok. Thank you.
versed geyser
So I tried making a character on another server, and I keep crashing. I'm not sure what to do to fix it
honest anvil
Is there a better/ more efficient order to do all 8 doh jobs?

all of them at once
honest anvil
Oh do they share exp?

Um so I just finish post ARR and unlocked AST. Is there a way where I can see what some of these arcana do?
Nvm
At the very bottom of the action list.
brave ravine
@versed geyser start by updating your windows to the latest version, then update your graphics card drivers. then reinstall the game using steam
versed geyser
I just downloaded Windows and my graphics card drivers the other day (new PC) but I'll try reinstalling the game itself
I can get past the launch page and when I start in a new server I can get past the tutorial but when I try to leave the starting town, the game crashes and I can no longer connect to the server
Also I'm on the free trial if that helps
brave ravine
try starting in a different starting town, then leave it
granite swan
They need a warning label for The Voidark ... omfg
shut kelp
does WHM still need cure 1 at later levels?
granite swan
i still use it at 71 on mine >.>
clear sequoia
so I bought FFXIV for my friend on Steam and theres a registration code, however, the registration code is nowhere to be found in either mine or my friends email, is there a way to find the code?
ripe hound
Is there a way to find better textures and make the game look better?
brave ravine
you get the reg code from within the steam client, not your email
warped nest
does WHM still need cure 1 at later levels?
@shut kelp if this leads to "should I just take it out then", then I would say leave it there
clear sequoia
oh alright
warped nest
It is not like WHM are desperate for hotbar space
ripe hound
I mean I maxed all graphics setting in the vanilla game out. I don't want to use any mods yet. But are there ways I don't know that improve graphics?
Like are there some hidden settings?
warped nest
Drink 🍻
ripe hound
Like the resolution of character textures seems a bit low
clear sequoia
do you know where to go to get to the client?
brave ravine
ff14 is a bit dated graphics engine. it's like 7 years old and they havent updated it yet
warped nest
Like the resolution of character textures seems a bit low
@ripe hound there isn't an infinite amount of texture resolution
brave ravine
get used to low reso textures sometimes
warped nest
So it is very likely that that's the max resolution for that specific texture
ripe hound
Yeah, true
It just feels like the textures are clearly made in higher resolutions, but downscaled when implementing into the game
warped nest
That's how it usually works
ripe hound
Yeah
brave ravine
probably compressed / downsized to all hell because of PS4 limitations
ripe hound
I'm mostly thinking it looks especially problematic for the Crystal Exarch
warped nest
You forgot that this used to run on PS3
ripe hound
Like the crystal on him just looks... like paint
On the other hand, for big scenery FFxiv just handles it so much better
And whenever stuff glows it looks also much better
low shore
How close am I to getting a mount? I just joined the 7 somethings in the waking sands
clear sequoia
@ripe hound do you know how to get to the client?
granite swan
@low shore Its one of the lv 20 MSQs
brave ravine
you get mount when you are around level 20 main story quest level
ripe hound
Sorry I don't use Steam for FFxiv
frail fulcrum
Shadowbringers question:
||is it necessary to finish ALL the warriors of Light sub quests? I just finished Renda Rae. Will I miss something if I didn't finish them all||
granite swan
You mean the role quests or is that something else? I dont remember that
frail fulcrum
Yeah
ripe hound
Also is it ever kind of worth it to do the Lv 80 roulettes compared to hunt trains?
frail fulcrum
I only have a dps role xD
granite swan
Yes, you have to finish Role Quests or it blocks you from finishing ShB
you just need to complete 1
ripe hound
Also no, finishing one whole quest line is enough
frail fulcrum
Ah thank you, I only have to finish 1
ripe hound
Since the game needs to be designed with most people not having multiple max level jobs in mind
frail fulcrum
Thank you very much @granite swan ^^
faint flare
Doing all the role quests for each role gives you a special extra quest
Which is optional and extra lore
Big lore
frail fulcrum
Yeah true
ripe hound
The roles are Magical DPS, Physical DPS, Healer, Tank right?
faint flare
Yes
dapper shadow
Arent melee phy dps and ranged phys dps separated as well?
ripe hound
Weird since most game mechanics is separated by melee and ranged for DPS.
I guess it's mostly lore reasons.
No, there is only one physical dps role questline, I think
dapper shadow
Oh i see
ripe hound
Since in lore something something something
remote lintel
theres 2 dps role quests
dapper shadow
I did them long ago i dont remember
faint flare
||Arbert didn't run a melee the filthy casual, triple tank nerd||
remote lintel
they didnt want to switch classes
dapper shadow
I kinda missed job quests though. Gimme job stories 😢
granite swan
You get one at 80 for some of em :p but its more a wrap-up

Hmm.. how does NIN open for mob packs? does anyone have a pre80 opener?
remote lintel

brave ravine
nin has like 5 diff AOEs tho
remote lintel
all of them

Drop doton, drop the katon and spam aoe combo and frog
Kassatsu on katon
DWAD assassinate on the biggest thing
Probably shadowfang something as you pull

faint flare
Eden
versed geyser
@brave ravine So I made a new character and tried a different starting town (different server). I didn't even make it through the starting cutscene before the game crashed so I think it's a game issue rather than a server issue
brave ravine
brave ravine
ahh i see
versed geyser
I'm going to try reinstalling the game to see if that works.
faint flare
Along with bonus tomes since its your first time so you'll probably be able to get some 460 gear with phanta
brave ravine
only have 100 phanta, not sure how to get those yet
remote lintel
do lvl 80 content
faint flare
Just do 80 content
And roulettes as 80
And Shadowbringers hunts
There's 2 side lv80 dungeons in crystarium and eulmore you can gey
Which give i430 accessories and tomes
brave ravine
roger roger
gusty storm
can you summon bahamut without having a target
faint flare
If you've cycled through dwt enough times and have it ready, yes
stable herald
What is the NIN's utility, so to speak? as I understand it, every class has like, a specific use, so to speak, if they have greater party utility, they have lower dps output
faint flare
Trick attack
stable herald
But I fail to see what NIN brings to the table
but that seems to run on a minute CD
gusty storm
oh so I can’t just randomly do it in a city
stable herald
but Ten Chi jin is double that
faint flare
Its literally the shortest raid buff CD
gusty storm
sad
faint flare
In the whole game
stable herald
I see
faint flare
Rotations are basically build around it in a sensw
stable herald
Hrm. I've not looked up a guide, because the NIN is currently in the works
twilit arch
5% dmg boost to the whole group every 1minute is pretty strong
stable herald
But I was linked a simple lvl 80 single target rotation
so my entire attack combos should be about using trick attack regardless of what I have available?
stable herald
e.g. no Ninki for Bhava
faint flare
Except TCJ which lines up with every other trick
Yes. Always Trick on cooldown
Like with any raid buff
stable herald
How do you open pre-80? do you just start whacking TCJ to get the gauge up, then just Trick attack -> DWAD-> Shadow Fang -> Assassinate -> Mug
faint flare
Its the same as lv80
stable herald
Then Bhava if up or normal rotation till up?
faint flare
Just remove skills you dont have
Only difference is that you'll miss out one like some bhavas due to the lack of Bunshin and Meisui
stable herald
Should I reserve Kassatsu just for those higher dps skills?
faint flare
But otherwise its the same
Kassatsu on cooldown with Raiton or hyoton/Ice shurikens post 76
It lines up with trick
stable herald
hmm
gotta sit down with a dummy for a while
and AoE?
How do you open
do you bother doing TCJ prior to AoE-ing?
do you bother with trick attack?
faint flare
You can katon then TCJ to drop a buffed doton
Then katon and aoe spam away
Kassatsu on katon
stark jay
Quick question, how much longer for the event of the rising?
faint flare
Dwad and assainate the big mob
Dont worry about trick on trash
11 hours in the Rising iirc
twilit arch
10hrs
faint flare
Close enough
stable herald
Why would doton be buffed?
stark jay
Ah dang hm
faint flare
Because TCJ buffs the ninjtsu used under it
twilit arch
rising quests don't take that long
faint flare
All 3 of them
warped nest
!action Tenchijin
zinc orbitBOT
Powered by XIVAPI
twilit arch
so you should be able to get it done before the event is over
faint flare
Or I'm thinking old TCJ
little swift
they qol changed it back in 5.1
stable herald
Do you prioritize getting TCJ and TA window out first, before dropping the Doton?
stark jay
Yeah it’s my fiancé though he going to bed so xD
stable herald
Because I dont see where you can drop Doton in that "ninjitsu vomit"
How do you prepull Doton? Doesn't that trigger the agro>
little swift
no
faint flare
The tank pulls them into it
little swift
the tank drags the boss to the doton

Free damage if they do

If ironworks is the best endgame gear for arr, what’s the best endgame gear for heavensward

Same method as ironworks?

Oh yeah... rowena stuff now in base city
So you can get it in Ishgard
Would it apply for sb and shb for best endgame that is easy?
little swift
yup but idyllshire is accessible by msq 58
sb yes
but shb no
it changes a bit
because its current
you don't use poetics
you use allegory
which has a weekly cap
there's also normal raid and alliance raid gear that are both usable
crafted gear is also an option to help you get into raids

the parts where the skills slowly "recharge"

How do I view the info on job gauge in game again?

its under your actions menu

Action and traits > small question mark at the bottom

gotcha! Thank you
It doesn't show both gauges unless you've already unlock them right?
Like on my monk, when i click the ? it only shows the lightning gauge since i'm only level 43
it doesn't show the chakra gauge
