Sob

[fallow juniper]

Is it known how long the Ishgard Restoration is going to be around for? I would like to farm the scrips for the mounts at some point, but will be on free trial for a while. Wondering if it will still be there in a few months, half a year, forever etc. Or will it be completed at some point and mounts unobtainable?

[wintry chasm]

The whole system will be forever

dw

[quartz gust]

Can I ask what does Courier/Reverse Courier mean for levelling crafting?

[midnight sable]

Can mounts be gifted?

[wintry chasm]

Depends on the mount

most can't

[fallow juniper]

So even if the restoration is completely done in (overexaggerating here) in 3 years, I will still be able to hand in items for scrips ans get the mounts?

[wintry chasm]

The only ones that can are basically like, the crafted mounts

just about

Yes Wllrrr

Also jeez it won't take that long xD

[midnight sable]

Lol

[fallow juniper]

Cool, I’ll hold off on that grind then. I suppose handing in lvl 80 collectables is giving more scrips than 60, yeah?

[random hollow]

can quick synthesis fail?

[wintry chasm]

Can I ask what does Courier/Reverse Courier mean for levelling crafting?
I assume by "reverse courier" you mean like, the ones that aren't courier but courier leves should just be ones you'd take in the cities in ARR where you'd have to accept the leve there and then travel to the location of the recipient rather than doing the leves of the levemetes in the various areas

[midnight sable]

Does anyone know if you can reach sworn reputation in a day found out you can buy a cool wolf from beat man?

[wintry chasm]

No

You can't reach sworn in a day

[midnight sable]

Damn it all

[wintry chasm]

You only have so many quests you can accept per day

[sturdy mason]

I remember reading a while back, SE talking about a graphics upgrade for FFXIV. Is there any newer/official announcement on that? Or still just "We wish we had time to do it" kinda thing?

[wintry chasm]

it'll take quite a while

"we wish we had time to do it" afaik

[sturdy mason]

Damn.

[midnight sable]

Oh we talking weeks or months?

[remote lintel]

a month

usually

depends on the tribe

[midnight sable]

Ixali

[quartz gust]

Thanks for explaining

[wintry chasm]

can quick synthesis fail?
It can. I'll be honest I forget what the requirement is since the crafting got changed up. I think it's like, if you meet the recommended stats then you can't fail the quick synth

[midnight sable]

Can trial member purchase from og store ? Do you get what purchase immediately, once again thank you all for helping

[wintry chasm]

37 days

[random hollow]

ok thx'

[wintry chasm]

if internet did the math right

[midnight sable]

Mog

[remote lintel]

no rarz

trial members cant buy items from mog

[wintry chasm]

It's usually pretty soon after buying though

a few mins

[midnight sable]

Damn there marketing plan is strong !!

[wintry chasm]

If the system is busy it might take longer though

[remote lintel]

if its account wide its a few hours

[midnight sable]

Ok thank you guys all for helping I think I’m gonna except that I can’t get a cool mount for now gonna check out that guy with the trophy

Also is it possible to play with friends

[remote lintel]

yes

[wintry chasm]

It's an MMO

[remote lintel]

you would need someone to invite you both to a party and leave

[wintry chasm]

though

Yeah

You can't make parties on free trial

but you can join them

so you might need a middleman for making one

but yeah provided you are on the same data center you should be able to just meet up in the world (might need to world visit if on different servers on the same data center but that's another thing.) If you queued for a dungeon at the same time that'll probably work decently well as well

[midnight sable]

We’re both in primal but not same cities so we would be good to play as long as he invited me

[wintry chasm]

Okay but what about server?

[midnight sable]

Damn I’m not sure we both live in the same place

[remote lintel]

no

the world youre on

[wintry chasm]

because Primal is just the data center

not the specific server

[midnight sable]

Oh no I believe we picked diff worlds

[wintry chasm]

You'd still be able to play together

[midnight sable]

So we can’t play

[wintry chasm]

You'd just need to do one little thing

[midnight sable]

Oh we can

[wintry chasm]

If you want to meet up in the world itself

You'll need to go to the main aetheryte in any of the main cities

and world visit to their server

or vice versa

For queuing for dungeons and stuff that doesn't really matter since matchmaking is across the entire data center anyway

[midnight sable]

I won’t. Be able to do that cause I have trial but since he has paid game would it work?

[wintry chasm]

You can do that

[remote lintel]

you can world visit on trial

[wintry chasm]

I just checked the free trial restrictions

It never says you can't world visit

[midnight sable]

How would I go about doing that ??

[midnight sable]

Ok it’s option from crystal

[vital ruin]

Do I get the wonderous tails rewards after the deadline

[wintry chasm]

It'll be an option in the menu when you interact with it

You have to hand in before the deadline

[vital ruin]

o okay

[midnight sable]

Thank you guys so much I heard discord was really nice community but o wasn’t expecting this level of help

[agile laurel]

Since gnashing fang is affected by sks and blasting zone isn't, how do I avoid blasting zone naturally drifting?
hopefully not too specific a question, just nudging

[wintry chasm]

ngl I don't play GNB ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[remote lintel]

might want to check balance

[wintry chasm]

It's still 61

[remote lintel]

they prob have it

[wintry chasm]

Yeah

Balance should know

they smart about rotations

!faq balance

[zinc orbit]

The Balance

Discord

[agile laurel]

yeah i was scanning the balance gnb guides so I don't ask and get called a moron as tends to happen

[midnight sable]

How long can we world visit? When we log off are we automatically sent back to ours?

[remote lintel]

no

you can stay there forever

[wintry chasm]

Forever as well

[remote lintel]

but theres restrictions on what you can do

[faint flare]

Immediately, and you'll log out on that world

[wintry chasm]

there are some restrictions while on another server like not being able to sell stuff on that server's marketboard and not being able to join free companies on the server you're visiting

but nothing major

[midnight sable]

Damn no serious restrictions on playing with friend though like we can still do quests together

[remote lintel]

id say not being able to join their fc is kinda serious

[wintry chasm]

Nothing stops that

FC thing is the killer yeah

But even then

nothing stops you with just private messaging each other

(private messaging after you buy the game)

[faint flare]

No joining their fc or sharing housing

[wintry chasm]

^ and general like, FC group

[faint flare]

But yeah otherwise you can do everything

[remote lintel]

they can join a linkshell on trial so thats basically pming

[midnight sable]

Any advice for leveling past 50 it’s taking forever

[remote lintel]

msq

[wintry chasm]

^

Pretty much

Level doesn't matter

MSQ does

and the more MSQ you do

The more higher level content you can do

meaning more xp

[midnight sable]

Every quest I have for msq is level 50 only an giving me minuscule amount of like 4K

[glossy flare]

You're probably in the post ARR storyline

[wintry chasm]

That's because it used to be a level cap

[faint flare]

Thats the post patch quests

[glossy flare]

where the msq gives less xp

[wintry chasm]

and they don't want you to over level

[glossy flare]

but once you hit Heavensward things will pick up again

[midnight sable]

Ooh ok that why there not increasing

[remote lintel]

heavensward starts at 50 so you dont want to be too overleveled anyway

[wintry chasm]

Yeah

or else you'll hit 60 before HW

[faint flare]

When you hit heavensward the xp will be normalised

[midnight sable]

I was like I did 8 level 50 quest msq

I thought something was wrong

[faint flare]

You got 80 in total

To do

Before heavensward

[midnight sable]

Jesus wtf

[wintry chasm]

It's pretty good

[faint flare]

Used to be 100

[wintry chasm]

It sets up like

every single expansion

It's really important

[hazy laurel]

Lots of teleporting

[wintry chasm]

and narratively packed

[midnight sable]

So people who bought dlc for job quest can’t even play as dark knight till you finish 80 quest

[hazy laurel]

I started 2.4 yesterday

[faint flare]

Yes

Get to heavensward

They learned their lesson about locking jobd behind story prog

[wintry chasm]

Well the Stormblood and Shadowbringers jobs just have a level requirement

but yes for HW you'd need to do them for the HW jobs

As Vinyl said they realised it was stupid

[midnight sable]

UHg it better be worth it, the class better be raw

[sly vessel]

how come when i try to egiglamour ifrit to ruby carbuncle it says ruby is not a valid name

[midnight sable]

I only have heaven dlc

[faint flare]

Spell It out fully and capitalise

[midnight sable]

Best FPS? Best tank?

[wintry chasm]

!faq meta

How FFXIV's Meta Works

All jobs are good and viable in all content. The difference between meta and non-meta is minor, to the point that player skill is a significantly more important factor. Play what you enjoy/what interests you most, and you can make it work.

[agile laurel]

make sure you're using "Ruby Carbuncle" too

it's reading your specification as only one word

[faint flare]

Just use Auto translate for it

[wintry chasm]

also obligatory

[sly vessel]

that's exactly what im typing

[wintry chasm]

!faq metameme

[zinc orbit]

**Do not use this to answer questions**

[faint flare]

Much easier

[agile laurel]

/egiglamour "Ifrit-Egi" "Ruby Carbuncle"

that... should do it?

try that

[sly vessel]

wait it includes the "?

[remote lintel]

yes

[agile laurel]

y

[remote lintel]

[sly vessel]

oh

[agile laurel]

straight copy paste my command line

[faint flare]

KekW

[sly vessel]

ii thought no need of quotation

[remote lintel]

you always use quotes for more then 1 word in commands

[faint flare]

Any command that uses Multiple words need quotations

[midnight sable]

Why does Krupp keeping popping up

[remote lintel]

because people are using the command

[agile laurel]

to tell you your answer

[remote lintel]

read it

[midnight sable]

Oh ok sorry didn’t get it

[faint flare]

Unlike Wow, balance exists here

[agile laurel]

[midnight sable]

I was looking for opinion based answers I’ll read

[agile laurel]

well nobody can tell you what's most fun

[remote lintel]

opinions differ

[agile laurel]

cause that's uh, subjective as hell

https://youtu.be/k_vH-1WZQ3A

[remote lintel]

some people think summoner is fun and i hate it

[midnight sable]

Yea but usually to some degree there a majority

[remote lintel]

poeple play all jobs

theres no majority really

[midnight sable]

Thank you totally

[elfin osprey]

Thing is all the classes are balanced in shb

[agile laurel]

and the some people who think summoner is fun, would be me

[faint flare]

Plus, the one that does well is the onr you play comfortably and are capable of pressing buttons

[midnight sable]

Well I’mearning quite a lot from u guys

[faint flare]

Same emu

I love cbt

[elfin osprey]

And also your dps depends on how good you are with the class

[agile laurel]

vinyl did you mean to write fbt

cause that's really not what you wrote

[elfin osprey]

Blm is one of the hardest hitting but I outdps my blm with rdm

[faint flare]

Perhaps.jpg

[agile laurel]

but yeah in short there's no job that's bad and no job that will carry you if you are bad

memes aside

[midnight sable]

Skill based thanks for the replies guys

[agile laurel]

very.

some jobs have a lower skill floor than others, but

nothing that'll artifically boost you

[midnight sable]

I got a ninja an dragoon now I was heading for tank next an thought of the dlc I got dark knight

[agile laurel]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[elfin osprey]

Try everything

But a word of advice

[midnight sable]

But 80 missions !!

[agile laurel]

your choice is likely gonna depend on personal preference of how they play, and personal preference on the style

[midnight sable]

Advise away!

[elfin osprey]

Most classes dont make sense till lvl 70

[agile laurel]

well

some do more than others

[remote lintel]

just play the story

[agile laurel]

namely, brd

[remote lintel]

and monk

[agile laurel]

yeah

[midnight sable]

Ok time grid that msq

[agile laurel]

due to ground-up reworks over time some jobs make more sense sooner than others

[gusty storm]

how come the quests after arr give no exp

[elfin osprey]

Its more like lazy design

But fair

[remote lintel]

@gusty storm because that was the level cap

[agile laurel]

@gusty storm because they're "max level" content

so they're not meant to have any xp

[remote lintel]

theres no need to give exp if 50 was the cap

[agile laurel]

cause they're not technically leveling content

[midnight sable]

The dragoon class I thought was gonna do more damage but then again I’m only lvl 50 an from what I guys have been saying not high enough for class to make sense yet

[gusty storm]

i c

so does heavensward start giving xp

[remote lintel]

dragoon does fine damage

yes imagi

[agile laurel]

yeah dragoon at 50 doesn't have much

[elfin osprey]

Well if you want damage at low levels you can play dnc and rdm

But these are dlc

All jobs start doing ok damage at 60

[agile laurel]

all of the tech skill of drg comes from nastrond/stardiver burst management and that's 70+ minimum

[lavish vortex]

hi!, question for ps4 users, is there a way, button or shortcut to move the chat from lets say Party to Shout, Say, Alliance, Yell etc? without having tyo leave the chat box, click the bubble, and select the one you want?

[agile laurel]

you also don't have the full combo loop before 64

[remote lintel]

/p, /s, /shout

[gusty storm]

ok also what are roulettes

[midnight sable]

So what level cap now??

[agile laurel]

80

[gusty storm]

80

[midnight sable]

Roulette are exp giving quest

[remote lintel]

@gusty storm dailies that put you in a random dungeon

theyre not quests

[agile laurel]

playlists of duties that give daily bonuses

[lavish vortex]

/p, /s, /shout
@remote lintel i have to type this before my message?

[remote lintel]

theyre duties

yes agustin

[gusty storm]

ok and you can only do one per day?

[remote lintel]

/p is party

/s is say

[midnight sable]

Shit he right I’m new let me shut up

[agile laurel]

you can do them as much as you want but the rewards are daily

[lavish vortex]

so, no way to cycle them with a button or trigger?

[remote lintel]

not that i know of

[lavish vortex]

thanks!

[gusty storm]

cerebus what is your favorite class

[remote lintel]

astrologian probably

[uncut bloom]

Is there a faster way to level a second class?

[open coral]

Tank, dps, or healer?

[uncut bloom]

I want to do a healer

[gusty storm]

astrologian is cool

[faint flare]

!faq altlvlguide

[zinc orbit]

Leveling Guide for Alt jobs 🍻

Level 1 to 70 in five days (Stormblood)

[open coral]

Healers are just dungeon spam from level 15 onwards.

[uncut bloom]

started off as a mage

[gusty storm]

when i first looked into this game it was the first class i wanted to play

[faint flare]

See link

[gusty storm]

but then i realized i suck at healers

[uncut bloom]

thank you ❤️

[young fjord]

iLvl 500 is currently the highest for armor/accessories correct, 505 for weapon

[brave ravine]

there's no way to refund gear bought w/ poetics is there?

[remote lintel]

no there isnt

[oak ice]

Yes, Carl

Higher comes in 5.4

[low shore]

2 quick questions. 1. Is there any other use for the regular Yo-Kai medals after you got all the minions and 2. do you need the Yo-Kai watch on to get the legendary medals?

[deft yarrow]

how long does the eyes open effect last on sam?

until used?

[wintry vector]

Is it hard to get a relic weapon?

I want a zoom zoom weapon

[elfin edge]

getting the first stage usually isn't too bad; it's getting it all the way upgraded that can take forever

[random hollow]

is it possible to block the sound effect of other people crafting[and only that]

?

[elfin edge]

and can also cost a lot of gil/seals/etc.

[twilit arch]

@low shore normal medals are just for minions, so you can throw them away if you want once you have all the medals. no you don't need the watch on for legendary medals. you just need the appropriate minion out and be int he appropriate zone

[brave ravine]

is there a command for increasing the max zoom distance like in wow?

[halcyon glen]

is pc trial -> steam full game a thing you can do?

[woven pollen]

I'm a returning player, decided to pick a different world in NA. Not really into RPing so any advice?

[solar surge]

Don't go on Crystal, that's all I know. Have a few friends on there, they say it's quite a bit of RP players. So far on Primal I've yet to see any RPers, I play on Famfrit

[woven pollen]

Yeah my current character is in crystal and it's a lot of RP

so I was gonna move

[solar surge]

Also, does anybody know how to cancel the auto-renewal for the monthly sub on Mog Station? Going to take a break for a couple months, COVID makes things difficult

[digital wyvern]

Level 50 relics still worth it? Just got the paladin one

[halcyon glen]

no

well they're glam

pretty glam

do at level 80

[digital wyvern]

I really like the glam of the paladin one

[low shore]

@twilit arch thanks!

[twilit arch]

yes @halcyon glen you can go from trial from SE's site to Steam full game

[solar surge]

^ They look good but you get better weapons pretty early on into Heavensward

[halcyon glen]

okay, friend on another server was having trouble

[low shore]

Would u recommend steam or se to play full version on?

[gusty pasture]

where do I get the moonfaire summer flame gear

[twilit arch]

@solar surge click on the cancel subscription button to cancel auto renew (make sure you do not mix it up with the cancel account button, they're next to each other)

[digital wyvern]

I just use the SE launcher for it and haven't had any issues. Adding steam into the equation seems to complicate things

[halcyon glen]

@gusty pasture not anymore

[twilit arch]

you cannot get the flame gear anymore

[gusty pasture]

ahh it's off? aye thanks

[twilit arch]

you'll have to wait til next year when they put it on the mogstation

moonfire's been over for like...2 weeks

[gusty pasture]

ahh right around the time I'm still figuring out the game haha. oh well at least now I know not to miss out on timeed events

[digital wyvern]

Yokai watch is still going on though, right?

[faint flare]

Yes

Until 5.4

[deft yarrow]

is it possible to change the frequency of player character 'barks'?

[agile laurel]

not your most recent question but open eyes lasts for 15sec from activation

and no, you can't

[deft yarrow]

❤️ ❤️ thanks

[gusty pasture]

btw is there a lore reason for Rathalos being in Eorzea?

I mean, in the Far east

[potent tapir]

Uh, it flew in

I think?

[gusty pasture]

Yeah that's all I'm getting from talking to the NPCs. about to hunt it though

[potent tapir]

It's sort of implied that MonHun sort of exists somewhere in the world

While MHW straight up says FFXIV stuff is from another world

[leaden ginkgo]

Would changing my psn id affect any ffxiv stuff on my ps4?

[faint flare]

As long as its the exact same psn account i dony believe it will. Your account is locked so your psn account so

[digital wyvern]

Unless it's coded badly and it goes by the PSN ID instead of the PSN account

Quick google search doesn't show any issues with it though

[raven sage]

No it just changes the display name on your character profile

[gusty storm]

where do i find the collection of in game tutorials

[raven sage]

system > active help

[vivid thorn]

can you get more than one relic Weapon?

[raven sage]

Yes

[random hollow]

what is the difference between Gil and the other coin that looks like a reverse G

[raven sage]

You just can't do the same step on multiple at once

[lean yarrow]

is the tenacity stat as bad as it sounds? Should I just get lv 50 dps gear for my GNB since it gives the same str and vit?

[vivid thorn]

such as a scholar tome and a SMN tome

[twilit arch]

dont worry about secondaries if you're not lvl 80

just grab whatever is higher ilvl and has your main stat for your job

[calm phoenix]

Why is it that every time that I do a leveling roulette, it always picks one of the earliest dungeons in the game when I have a lot more at my disposal?

[old gyro]

How do I unlock Ishgardian recipes for other jobs?
I only have for Alchemy.

[twilit arch]

because roulette puts you into whatever dungeon needs bodies

nothing more, nothing less

its random what you get

[faint flare]

Get to lv20 in other crafters @old gyro

Lv20 is the minimum

[random inlet]

will linkshell work when you are in a duty?

[little swift]

Yes

[old gyro]

Thank you.

[random inlet]

how can i create a linkshell?

[remote lintel]

are you on free trial

[random inlet]

nop

[remote lintel]

should be under social > linkshell or talk to the npc next to the calamity salvager

[random inlet]

"that command is ......."

but i have the collectors edition

[remote lintel]

talk to the npc

[twilit arch]

to make a linkshell you have to talk to linkshell distributor npc

[random inlet]

thx

[tidal yarrow]

the soul of the creator is a alexander raid?

a normal raid

[noble sage]

is the friendship circlet worth wearing to 25

or should I wear an actual helmet

[remote lintel]

@tidal yarrow yes

[halcyon glen]

We normally call it A12

@noble sage I would lmao

At least to 15

[noble sage]

ah im at 19

[halcyon glen]

Then honestly if tank maybe think about an actual helmet, if not keep it on imo

[queen flame]

Can you craft multiple things right after another? Or do I have to hit Synthesize every time?

[agile laurel]

yep, you do

[little swift]

Quick synthesis is a thing

[agile laurel]

Well

Wait

Yeah

Forgot about that

[little swift]

But you lost out on hq

[agile laurel]

Well, more precisely you lose out on guaranteed hq

quick synth hq is just a % check

[slim jackal]

Hmm. I got to Rhalgr's Reach but the splendors vendor won't sell me anything. I'm trying to get the level 70 tomestone gear

[obsidian patio]

Need to complete stormblood leveling story

[faint flare]

You need to complete base Stormblood

[slim jackal]

Ohhh

Dammit

Thanks yall

[shell echo]

Havent played in 6 years. Whats the game called pre heavensward? I want to look up a story compilation without heavensward+ spoilers.

[little swift]

Thanks. All the youtube stuff seems to bring out recent stuff with that keyword.

[fallow granite]

Question:
Me and a few friends are going to be doing some synched lv50 extremes.
I was curious if there was a guide or anything that talks about the best dps classes for older content

[wooden ginkgo]

[frosty stump]

[wooden ginkgo]

i wanna play gladiator but im constantly stressed out as a tank

[little swift]

Kirby dance you can play all the jobs on one character

[frosty stump]

you can play all classes on one character

[little swift]

No need to make an alt

[calm phoenix]

Why does my Midgardsomr keep sitting on my head?

[wooden ginkgo]

oh

[little swift]

And just play theres nothing to be stressed about

[wooden ginkgo]

but as a tank everyone is depending on you lol

[little swift]

Some minions have an alternate idle position

If you're a lala they sit on your head

[vivid thorn]

healers have it worst

for stress

[little swift]

but as a tank everyone is depending on you lol
@wooden ginkgo theres literally nothing to worry about. The game will slowly introduce you to thingd as you play

[wooden ginkgo]

oh

[little swift]

You're making it harder on yourself more than anything

[soft flicker]

im a level 25 thaumaturge, do you always go oom in two fire aoe spells?

[little swift]

Yes

that feels very weird

Are there any Machinist Users on atm?

[quiet wing]

someone told me using mods can get you banned

is that true?

like mods for visuals

[faint flare]

No

[quiet wing]

so you can use mods?

[little swift]

What's your question @serene bison

[faint flare]

Techincally all 3rd party stuff is against ToS but as long as you're not cheating, harassing people or getting any advantage you're fine

[quiet wing]

hell yea so now i can upscale the entire game to look amazing

[serene bison]

@little swift Ok so far classes I've enjoyed have been paladin and Samurai along with Redmage but I mostly used them decent fate solo clearing and wanted to know how good Machinist is when it comes to soloing content compared to others of it's role

[calm phoenix]

I saw someone post an Amaterasu mount mod in an Okami Facebook group and I told him that it could get him banned

[little swift]

It does fine. You can clear fates with decent damage.

Your chocobo being out is also good

[faint flare]

SE doesn't really care for visual mods much, unless they're lewd then they kinda care cause that can push into legal boundaries

[soft flicker]

is scathe even worth having on my bars?

[serene bison]

@little swift Is hard or simple to use?

[gritty granite]

can you hide the zone text pop up?

[little swift]

@serene bison machinist has a very straightforward rotation. Just tends to be ping reliant on burst windows

is scathe even worth having on my bars?
@soft flicker i'd just leave it somewhere off to the side

[obsidian patio]

ehh? You pretty much only use it when you need to move and you don’t have any instant cast tools ready

[soft flicker]

gotcha

[serene bison]

what about Red Mage I wanna use it better

like I wanna be able to solo better but not go crazy on my Hotbar

xD like too many buttons

[sand stratus]

RDM has a pretty simple rotation

you can't really avoid having a lot of buttons

just have to know which ones to press

[obsidian patio]

If you have trouble keeping up with procs I recommend a ‘dummy’ hotbar by your gauge or near the center of the screen that would have VerFire/VerStone on it

[serene bison]

I honestly been leaning more towards being casual with classes and not so competive like trying to do better than others and going crazy in PvP

So I wanna go back and play a casual class

bf is using Paladin and my roommate she decided to go with Astro

[dreamy flume]

I was looking at some armor for glamour, but I'm confused as how to get it. The estoqueur armor for RDM is given at lvl 80? Is it from an NPC? I saw the weathered version is traded by an NPC that also has other sets for the other jobs.

[twilit arch]

the weathered version is bought from grenodlt in the tempest, provided you've completed the main scenario quest "The Light of Inspiration" and the lvl 80 magic role quest

[glass solar]

Is there any timelimit on the Copied Factory?

or will it get removed eventually?

[faint flare]

No

Its permanent

[obsidian patio]

Permanent content

[glass solar]

Pog

[faint flare]

As its this expansion 24man

Same with other 2 nier raids this expansion

[glass solar]

Ah i thought Copied Factory was the only NieR raid

[faint flare]

There copiee factory and puppet bunker after

With the last coming in 5.5

[obsidian patio]

@serene bison most of the tanks in general are pretty easy-going, except maybe Gunbreaker. As for DPS Dragoon is pretty simple once you’re past the opener, and for ranged DPS Machinist is fairly simple but ping intensive+button spammy

[serene bison]

Well I don't mind button spammy

[glass solar]

:oo okay

[serene bison]

I just wanna be casual and kick some ass

[faint flare]

Then any is fine

[glass solar]

I intend to buy the full game next week but it'd be a shame if it went away before i got to do it

[serene bison]

like no lie samurai was really really fun and all but I wanna take a break from it and play something completely different from it

something that can still solo Fate Bosses and WB spawns

[sand stratus]

blue mage

[glass solar]

What about Paladin?

[dreamy flume]

It doesnt get more casual than SAM, is what I play for melee DPS.

[obsidian patio]

Paladin/any healer then for best sustain

[glass solar]

might not be particularily fast at it but should have the survivability for it, wouldn't it? ;p

[vivid thorn]

what ilvl is recommended to run the relic weapon quest?

[sand stratus]

RDM is a pretty good all rounder

DPS class but can also heal itself

[vivid thorn]

the ShB one

[faint flare]

People have done it with the free 430 gear

So

[vivid thorn]

I cleared Orbonne so accessing the quest won't be an issue

I just need to go back to Kugane once the 80 job quest is done

[faint flare]

You can do it the moment you hit 80 with the basic gear, you get allies to help you in stuff

Very hard to fail unless you just sit in aoe markers

[velvet topaz]

me and my friend would like to get items from Foxy Lady fate chain, is there any way to check when that world boss would be available or anything like that?

[faint flare]

Naturally more gear means it goes faster

[open coral]

The Foxy Lady fate spawns when certain conditions are met, not on a specific timetable.

[faint flare]

But has a long cooldown

[velvet topaz]

but there's a cooldown

[open coral]

Yes, there's a cooldown

[velvet topaz]

so I'm asking if there's a way to see the cooldown or anything

[open coral]

There used to be trackers, I don't know if they're kept up to date anymore though.

Since the cooldown is server-specific.

[faint flare]

Check hunt discords for it

Like centrio hunts in #resources

[serene bison]

hmm

mny bf wants to give me a level 70 boost

ugh but Idk if I wanna use it because gearrrr

[faint flare]

It gives you gear when you boost

[serene bison]

only accessories though

[open coral]

No, a full set

[serene bison]

not the actual armor right?

[faint flare]

Full set

Everything

[serene bison]

wait the one from Mogstation?

[open coral]

Yes

It gives you a full set of level 70 gear for that class.

[faint flare]

Full i400 set

[serene bison]

that sounds..

Awesome

but Imma probably tell him to use it on himself

[faint flare]

And i think some money? Or that might just be story

[serene bison]

since he's the grindy grind type

and want Every class

[open coral]

Also if it's your first time playing through the game, it's better to level at least one class all the way from 1-80 normally rather than skipping.

Since it gives you more time to get a feel for how combat works as you go through the story, and how the class plays.

[calm phoenix]

18 minutes is kinda long for an alliance raid roulette, wouldn't you say?

[open coral]

Not at all?

[serene bison]

Oh I did that already

with Summoner

it was lovely

[vocal shell]

Yeah vinyl

[open coral]

I've had dps queues for raid roulette in the 20-25 minute range.

[vocal shell]

Job boost gives 500k

[serene bison]

but I wanna try something different like Sammy and Warrior but using those two gives me Tera flash backs

[keen inlet]

hello, I've a friend trying to create a Cerberus character but it keeps saying it's full

How long does it take for that to change usually?

[faint flare]

!status cerberus

[zinc orbit]

Information

Cerberus is currently Online
This server is currently: Standard
Creation of New Characters Available

[keen inlet]

so it's good now?

[open coral]

Since it's not a congested server, your friend will just need to wait until off-hours.

[keen inlet]

I'll tell him to hop on, thanks

[faint flare]

Its standard so it changes dramatically throughout the day

[open coral]

Tell them to try in the middle of the night.

[polar hound]

usually during non-peak hours would be best

[calm phoenix]

It said 18 minutes, more like five minutes

[polar hound]

again, you cannot take the estimated time for roulettes as 100% fact.

[sand stratus]

my alliance roulette queue this morning was 20 minutes fwiw

despite being the adventurer in need

can't predict it

[open coral]

I've had 10+ minute healer queues for PB, and that's the current raid.

[sour path]

After doing all of my roulettes, should I continue doing the leveling roulette, a different one, or the highest dungeon I have? Trying to get 6 more levels xD

[glossy flare]

highest dungeon you have

[twilit arch]

highest level dungeon that's not 50/60/70

[sour path]

Okay thanks!

[open coral]

There's no point to spamming roulettes because you only get the real bonus once per day.

[calm phoenix]

Motral gaze be killing me despite looking away???

[open coral]

On Angra Mainyu?

In World of Darkness?

[calm phoenix]

Yes

[open coral]

If you look away too late/look back too early and get the Doom debuff, you have to cleanse it by stepping on one of the glowing panels on the floor.

[calm phoenix]

Also the room wide AoE colors swapped and I have never seen that before

[open coral]

Just pick up the opposite debuff every time

Otherwise it will do more damage with each iteration

[calm phoenix]

First time I have seen red in back

[open coral]

Yeah, it's not a mechanic that ever shows up before, and hasn't appeared since.

[gloomy ice]

The colors are relative to the boss's position btw

[open coral]

It's always blue in front, red in back

[gloomy ice]

If a different tank turned him around, the colors will turn as well.

[calm phoenix]

Red is usually at enterence and I got 2x because it swapped

[open coral]

It helps to stay close to the boss for that fight rather than hanging out in Narnia.

Even if you're ranged

[calm phoenix]

Usualluy mid-ranged

[open coral]

Yeah, no. Stick right up next to the boss.

There's no reason to hang out anywhere else on that fight.

And it will let you react more easily if the boss gets turned right before the red/blue mechanic

[polar hound]

staying close to him provides you easy ways to dodging aoes as well

[open coral]

^

[polar hound]

i.e.: move through him instead of SPRINT AND RUN LIKE HELL cause it's a cone attack.

generally, always try to hang around the majority of your group.. chances are if youre at the entrance, you're prolly outta buffs and/or heal range.

[slate arrow]

despite being a ranged job, you don't want to fight at range

[open coral]

^

You want to be in your healer's range, and your healer has to be able to reach both ranged and melee/tank players.

[polar hound]

keep eyes out for asylum etc, maybe even hug the healer most fights

[open coral]

Which means as ranged dps, your job is to not be in Narnia.

[tidal yarrow]

is there a command to know the now playing song?

[open coral]

Never be in Narnia.

[slate arrow]

as a friend of mine would say, don't stand in antarctica

[tidal yarrow]

in an house

[agile laurel]

check the orchestrion

[open coral]

You can just go over to the orchestrion and look, I don't know if there's a command for it though.

[agile laurel]

you'll be able to read it

[tidal yarrow]

i can't find it :(

[open coral]

Walk around and find where the music is loudest

The orchestrion will be there

[slate arrow]

You can't interact with objects unless you own the house

[polar hound]

^

[tidal yarrow]

it comes from the roof.. i will try

[polar hound]

i was gonna say if its not yours idt you can touch the orches?

[open coral]

Oh

[slate arrow]

well, you can if you're a tenant or FC member with permissions

[open coral]

I mean, I know I can check the orchestrion in my FC house

[twilit arch]

yes because you're a tenant

by being in that FC

[tidal yarrow]

oh!!

that's why

[open coral]

Didn't realize that was a tenant thing

I have a level 50 paladin, but I don't remember how to play him or his skills. With the patches over the last 6 years, any ideas how I should proceed?

[granite swan]

hop into PoTD if you got 51-60 and play around?

[faint flare]

Smack a dummy

[shell echo]

What is potd?

[granite swan]

Palace of the Dead

[gloomy ice]

A lot has been consolidated. For example, Sword Oath is now a passive that you relearn at higher levels. Shield Oath has been replaced with Iron Will. No longer reduces your damage. Just cranks up your aggro generation. It's nearly impossible for your party to rip aggro from you if you have it on and you're doing damage unless they're another tank.

[granite swan]

If you have 51-60 unlocked, it sets you to 60 and lets you play with everything up to 60, and its pretty low risk so you can tinker around with stuff

[leaden ginkgo]

I'm not sure if this will make sense but do msq from different starter locations sync up? Like if I made a job that starts in ul dah and one in gridina or however it's spelt will we ever get to the same msq?

[faint flare]

Yes

Lv15

Is when they sync

[shell echo]

@gloomy ice I don't know any of my skill names anymore lol

[leaden ginkgo]

Thank you

[proven geode]

Are technical questions allowed here or strictly in game ffxiv questions?

[faint flare]

Just remove all your skills from your hotbar

[shell echo]

What about queuing for low level dungeons? Is that possible?

[granite swan]

Theres also a #technology-discussion channel

[faint flare]

And place them back

[proven geode]

ah thanks

[faint flare]

After reading them

[shell echo]

That's an interesting idea Vinyl.

I remember realm reborn had an extreme chokepoint at lvl 50 Titans. Did the game get harder or easier after that?

I beat it, but it took me days to find a group with no experience.

[calm phoenix]

The world of darkness is by far my weak point in the game. I did not like that is what the roulette gave me. It is sad because I have a thing for places like that in games. I die numerous times in there

[faint flare]

Nothing in the story is challenging

Anymore

[granite swan]

99% of the time you have lv 80s pop in from duty finder to just steamroll most things

well maybe not steamroll, but its not really a challenge

[spare plinth]

[calm phoenix]

Is there a way tu "un-glamour" something? I do not see an option when I hit square

[potent bridge]

yes

[faint flare]

You need glamour dispellers

Then you go cast glamour > remove

[twilit arch]

also assuming you're in a location that lets you use glamour plates, you can dispel via that menu

[calm phoenix]

Limsa. I just ended up starting a second glamour plate with a new look

[granite swan]

Is there a way to empty a whole glamour plate at once or do i have to do it for each slot on each plate? >.>

[hollow mango]

ahmm does anybody know a yt video out there where it will give a basic run down to all the skills of every job?

[potent bridge]

yes

[obsidian patio]

If you just want a TLDR of the classes there’s one in the pins

[hollow mango]

Cause when i had my first alliance party it was really hard

to look at the screen and understand what is what

[obsidian patio]

But for ones of every skill I recommend looking at class guides or job-specific stuff

do they have pictures?> If you just want a TLDR of the classes there’s one in the pins

What should i do with phantasmagoria if i'm already past the point of ilv460 gear?

[calm phoenix]

Why is it every time I roll on the puff of darkness minion, I always roll something like a 6?

[twilit arch]

buy crafting gear and sell it

because you're unlucky as fuck

[ember bronze]

do you know which of the mats are the best tomestone to gil ratio?

[twilit arch]

you'll have to check your own server's marketboard for that

[obsidian patio]

Basically anything but the dried hi-ether in my experience

[twilit arch]

Would be the ones i would look at

can also be lazy and just buy like 10 of each to sell

[ember bronze]

okay ty!

[white tapir]

Can I use a phantasia potion and if I don't like the changes cancel before applying? Or minute I enter the appearance screen it's considered 'used'

[faint flare]

Its used when you confirmed the changes

You can back out freely

[white tapir]

Nice and just reuse the potion?

[glossy flare]

using the potion just unlocks the ability to change things

[faint flare]

It removes consumed as a item

[glossy flare]

so no need to reuse it

[faint flare]

But you retain the ability to change

[white tapir]

Ahhh

[faint flare]

Until you confirm

[twilit arch]

3star craft

[lavish breach]

so if i wanna buy 3 of those what do i look for

[tame plinth]

ihow do you learn new spells as blue mage?

just kill certain enemies?

[granite swan]

you have to get hit by it and kill them, then pray u get it if your not near their level

[faint flare]

Dony need to be hit

Just see it cast

And have aggro on the mob

Are the learning requirements

[open coral]

You don't need aggro on the mob, but you do need credit on the mob.

How do I travel to other servers? I'm trying to join trains

So either be in a party with the person who has aggro or be the first to hit it.

I had a question, it's not at all to help me choose a class as I am playing most tanks but maining DRK, why is it that tank is ranked the lowest in some tier lists but also why is it not the lowest in everyone's tier list... I know Tier lists are based on opinion but what is it that WAR doesn't have compared to others6

[open coral]

On what quest @calm phoenix ?

And what exactly is the objective?

[calm phoenix]

To Siege or not to Siege

[open coral]

@unborn bay A 360 degree AoE before level 40

[unborn bay]

I'm assuming tier lists are based on end game tho

[open coral]

Yeah.

[faint flare]

And tier lists dont mean much

[calm phoenix]

I need to talk to her. If I go up or down ANY stairs, it creates an arrow and she is nowhere on this level

ya i dunno why it swapped me lol

[tawdry turtle]

cause they don't do anything until you lock in the jutsu

[glossy flare]

Well they do have a shortened gcd for their own activation

[tawdry turtle]

i understand jutsu button being on gcd

[glossy flare]

so you don't have the whole length of your gcd between every mudra

[calm phoenix]

Sometimes having to stop fighting for a few moments to tend to other mechanics is nice because your cooldown timers do not stop for those. I do not have any issues with cooldowns

[glossy flare]

So you can go clank clank clank super fast, then activate your Jutsu in kind of one gcd slot?

I'm no expert on NIN mechanics

Yes but having to stop fighting means having to stop dealing damage, which becomes a problem once the boss has an enrage

[tawdry turtle]

fighting games are my main gig so a period of "oop we chillin" between things is a little jarring

but ill get used to it

[little swift]

The old way mudras worked was not good

Having to weave 4 buttons inside gcds was antifun

[sand stratus]

how'd they change NIN?

last time I played NIN was during SB

[little swift]

Mudra on gcd now

[sand stratus]

oh interesting

[little swift]

But doesn't break combo

Slows nin down outside trick

[wintry chasm]

It's on GCD but like, the cooldown is shorter when doing mudras so it's not the normal GCD cooldown timer

[little swift]

But not offensively so

[sand stratus]

I'm guessing the ninjutsu damage got buffed to account for the slower cast?

[wintry chasm]

Yes

For example

!action raiton

[zinc orbit]

**Raiton** : lvl 35 NIN (1.5 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Deals lightning damage with a potency of 800.
Mudra Combination: Ten→Chi or Jin→Chi
Triggers the cooldown of weaponskills, mudra, and Ninjutsu upon execution.

※This action cannot be assigned to a hotbar.

[sand stratus]

800

that sounds kinda like they took how DNC works and applied it to NIN

[little swift]

Basically

[wintry chasm]

^

[sand stratus]

that's cool

[little swift]

People also asked for it because steps work so well

[patent citrus]

you can't reduce gcd right?

[warped nest]

You can

[little swift]

You can with spell speed and skill speed

[wintry chasm]

Some jobs can get speed boosts in that regard

[patent citrus]

oh, rip

[warped nest]

Skill speed or spell speed

[wintry chasm]

Also ^

[warped nest]

Take note that GCD reduction is done in tiers

[tawdry turtle]

it'd be kinda sick if there was a job like ninja, with the special inputs for certain skills, but leaning a little more into like a fighting game archetype

[warped nest]

Example, if you need 200 skill speed to reduce 0.01s, then having 180 skill speed won't do a thing

[patent citrus]

ah

got it

[tawdry turtle]

where all of their abilities have animation locks and punishing cooldowns, but they have a mechanic that allows them to cancel their animation locks into quick movement and cooldown resets

[warped nest]

This is more #general-discussion

[little swift]

Different game at that point

[warped nest]

Not a suitable thing to talk about here

[patent citrus]

ok sorry, i muted that channel since i'm progressing through MSQ haha

but ty for the explanation

[little swift]

Not you @patent citrus you asked a legitimate question

[patent citrus]

ok, np 🙆‍♂️

[ripe hound]

How does Combo Actions work?

I mean, sometimes you can mix stuff in?

I'm a GNB, but I don't know why, I'm allowed to mix in another combo while inside my main combo?

[warped nest]

Ability can usually be mixed in between weaponskill

Yes

Your Gnashing Fang combo

[ripe hound]

What about GNB's 2nd Weaponskill combo?

[warped nest]

Doesn't break your Keen edge combo

[ripe hound]

In fact I think only Demon Slice and Keen Edge break each other

[warped nest]

Ability usually don't break weapon skill combo.

Other Weaponskill might or might not break combo depending on what they are

[ripe hound]

Weird.

[calm phoenix]

I got the aetherical compass but how do I activate it and begin looking for currents?

[ripe hound]

Like Burst Strike and Fated Circle don't break any combos I think

[granite swan]

drag it to your hotbar or use it from the key item inventory

[calm phoenix]

Does it only need to be activated once?

[ripe hound]

You can have a Keen Edge Combo, and a Gnashing Fang Combo, and use Burst Strike, which still don't break the combo

[warped nest]

Burst strike and fated circle is not part of any combo

[granite swan]

No it just tells you "Go north east for 800 yalms" so you have to re-use it

[warped nest]

Normally, starting a different combo will break it, but GNB is the exception, in that their Gnashing Fang combo doesn't break Keen Edge

[ripe hound]

Yeah

And Sonic Break can also be used inside combos

[obsidian patio]

To help clarify on GNB’s combos, using the gnashing fang combo won’t break Keen Edge combo, but the reverse is true where Keen Edge combo breaks Gnashing Fang

[warped nest]

!action Sonic break

[zinc orbit]

**Sonic Break** : lvl 54 GNB (60.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Delivers an attack with a potency of 300.
Additional Effect: Damage over time
Potency: 90
Duration: 30s
This weaponskill does not share a recast timer with any other actions.

Powered by XIVAPI

[warped nest]

Usually only new combo breaks combo

Gnashing Fang is the exception

[ripe hound]

Wait, gnashing fang does not break Keen Edge, but Keen Edge breaks gnashing fang

[warped nest]

Yeah

[ripe hound]

So if you start a cartage chain, but you use another combo it breaks

I see

[warped nest]

The logic is "because the dev made it so"

I wish there is a much better answer

[ripe hound]

So usually combo breaks because you started another combo

got it

Most weapon skills does not break combos...?

[obsidian patio]

Abilities don’t break combos

[ripe hound]

I mean as a GNB I have 4 non-combo Weaponskills, but only 1 of them break combos

[warped nest]

Abilities definitely don't break combos
Weaponskill usually don't break combos

[ripe hound]

Yeah

And RDM be like "haha Manafication go brrr"

But yeah, Abilities don't break combo unless they said so

[warped nest]

Warriors Fell Cleave and Decimate (and their downgraded/upgraded version), all 6 of them doesn't break combo either

[mental garnet]

anyone have early level shield glamour suggestions for GLA/PLD?

[calm phoenix]

Is there one aetherical current per area? Meaning just one where the Falcon's Nest is

[obsidian patio]

RDM’s Manafication breaking combo is so you don’t use it mid-combo to immediately get another combo ready to go

[ripe hound]

Weapon skill usually don't break combos, unless it's a combo skill

[little swift]

@calm phoenix there's this many per zone

[warped nest]

@mental garnet my best suggestion off the top of my head is check with your Grand Company

[granite swan]

I think he meant the regions in the zone

[obsidian patio]

The only expansion zone that’s an exception is Azys Lla, which only has 5 story currents all from the MSQ

[warped nest]

Weapon skill usually don't break combos, unless it's a combo skill
@ripe hound except for Gnashing Fang

There is no absolute rule to follow

[mental garnet]

yeah this is the GC one LOL

[ripe hound]

I mean I guess after playing a while you just know which weaponskill breaks which combo

But yeah

[warped nest]

Ninja, for example, kinda sorta has the only Ability-combo

[granite swan]

The one you get from MSQ from HW is decent

[warped nest]

!action Assassinate

[zinc orbit]

**Assassinate** : lvl 60 NIN (1.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Delivers a critical direct hit with a potency of 200.
Can only be executed when Assassinate Ready.

[warped nest]

!action Dream within a dream

[zinc orbit]

**Dream Within a Dream** : lvl 56 NIN (60.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Delivers a threefold attack, each hit with a potency of 200.
Additional Effect: Grants Assassinate Ready

[mental garnet]

ah, true! thanks for reminding me of that maethil

[ripe hound]

Oh my

Ten Chi Jin is also kind of a combo...?

But not really right?

[warped nest]

No

[little swift]

Ninja, for example, kinda sorta has the only Ability-combo
@warped nest dragoon with jump > mirage dive

[warped nest]

Ohhhhh
