FATE's are coloredPurple
polar hound
^^ some fates are just different objective wise, and the icon denotes that
would be bosses etc
granite swan
@random hollow Wharf Rats are for another job quest u have but arent that job, i think
random hollow
ah i had that uestion too thx
polar hound
ah yeah that means you have a quest to kill them but arent the correct job
limpid lynx
so, ignoring the bahamut trials, are normal difficulty raids things I can queue into blind without wrecking my other 7 party members?
faint flare
Yes
limpid lynx
awesome
ripe hound
How do you use Bard's Battle Voice? On Cooldown?
leaden ginkgo
If I pick Roegadyn, will it be more difficult to avoid big AOE attacks?
polar hound
oak ice
It's a pixel in the middle of your hitbox, doesn't follow the character model
leaden ginkgo
Thanks
polar hound
you wanna line up your buffs with everyone elses buffs..because buffs in ffxiv are multiplicative
so after the opener, generally yeah on cd will line stuff up with others cds
ripe hound
I see, so if I'm in Pug I just use it on CD.
polar hound
fight dependant on bosses going untargettable/downtime etc
ripe hound
But what does 180 cd lines up with?
polar hound
basically, or start muscle memorizing your opener
ripe hound
I know that AST's buff is 120 cd
It's not worth it to wait 60 seconds to line up a cd right?
oak ice
Trick attack is 60, for example
ripe hound
Oh nice
oak ice
No, but every 3rd Divination will line up with every second battle voice
polar hound
most buffs will fly out later in their rotations (5th/6th gcd)
ripe hound
kk
oak ice
Assuming you both use it when it's available
polar hound
not gonna hurt to start gettin into the habit of..but also wouldnt stress over it in pugs
ripe hound
kk
oak ice
Yeah, as long as you do your stuff properly the others can worry about theirs
polar hound
if you tryout for a static later and are just randomly popping buffs tho...theyll notice lol
ripe hound
kk lol
halcyon grail
So my SAM is at 60. I've managed to get all the accessories, belt, headpiece and the sword. The remaining body gear will cost me about 1700 tomes. Which ought to be a day or two of tomes.
Do I wait to progress until I have everything? Or just go ahead?
halcyon grail
This is an alt job
polar hound
you got important parts, dungeon gear can supplement
halcyon grail
The last to hit 70 before I start Shadowbringers
polar hound
besides by 67 youll start replacing it with dungeon gear
halcyon grail
And by 63 I ought to be replacing with on-par dungeon gear. Assuming the drops dont fuck me.
polar hound
bingo. waiting it out would be silly considering you'll outlevel it within the same time/a lil more
crimson wind
Do "kill for me" parties work in PF, I've been stuck on E6S enrage for weeks and still haven't cleared because pug hell
polar hound
i mean yes but no? no one wants to straight carry people. but if you make the PF and state "Must have seen enrage" chances increase.
crimson wind
As if people are actually going to listen to that. I've been doing that for the last 2 weeks.
polar hound
kick and replace the weak links.
crimson wind
They're all weak links
polar hound
im on primal also, im very inclined to disagree
polar hound
there are a LOT of new folks, with the trial upgraded and such...yeah it sucks but everyone learns somewhere.
also this late in the tier, those who have cleared generally have anything/everything they wanted, unfortunate but true. this doesnt mean they just never run it though, some like parse runs etc or are just bored.
its gonna be a process, but just gotta keep at it and even say youll replace those who fail x times or w.e in the PF
as far as just saying "kill for me" though, that personally turns me away.. cant speak for everyone but yea lol
crimson wind
I could grab a friend for a clear for 1
polar hound
Yeah true if that's an option for you. set to duty complete.
polar hound
ah yeah mb for taking it literal
oak ice
Make "kill for friend" with 1 person in it 
random hollow
in a fate with so much people, how can I target enemies without clicking people?
polar hound
controller or m+kb?
random hollow
gamepad
polar hound
while holding R2 or L2, press R1 or L1
crimson wind
Pressing X when facing an enemy will prioritise the enemy over people
polar hound
this will cycle through enemies around you, keep tapping R1/L1 to continue cycling
random hollow
mmm will the r1 l1 thing keep that mob focused?
polar hound
in your options is a way to set it as targetting in a cone infront of you or just generally around you, i forget where exactly
faint flare
It tabs across
worn scaffold
I could've sworn that the other 3 were locked? Did the game just say eff it and unlocked the rest of the raids for me?
faint flare
Savage is fully unlocked
crimson wind
Tier was unlocked
polar hound
if you attack it yeah just dont change target
faint flare
As of the recent patch
random hollow
ok thx
obsidian patio
5.31 fully unlocked savage for this tier
worn scaffold
ooooooooooh
crimson wind
I don't recommend skipping to E8S.
obsidian patio
They unlocked it early due to patch 5.3’s delay
worn scaffold
just start on E5S then?
crimson wind
Yrs
worn scaffold
kk
crimson wind
You'll get fucking smacked in E8S if you don't have the skill for it
crimson wind
Maimed, decimated, slapped, the sort.
polar hound
usually true for every tier..the last ones a doozy (usually)
crimson wind
This one especially

How painful should ||Doma Castle|| be as a PLD at i275? I feel like my normal sized pulls are too much DMG for most healers in DF, even when I pop CDs. Feels like maybe my gear is just crap, but I'm not sure what ilvl is max in there.
silent zodiac
I'm about to step into palace of the dead on my alt for the first time. What is the proper way to do this to level up?
granite swan
Try to get to floor 51-60 and spam it, is the best xp for PoTD
worn scaffold
After getting my boots wet on SHB ex's, I plan on tackling savage now ||and hopefully ultimate one day :<||. Wish me luck on E5S!
random hollow
can fire 2 be used long range?
crimson wind
yes
random hollow
I see the explosion around me
zinc orbitBOT
Powered by XIVAPI
crimson wind
to target and all enemies nearby it
polar hound
@silent zodiac well it will block you at a certain floor, i forget which..until you have like +14/+14 of each weapon/armor? (last i did it anyways, might be more than 14) so it's recommended to use your first save to go as far as it'll let you (prioritize silver chests) then use the second save to do the same..at that point you should have plenty to get 50+ unlocked, ideally.
granite swan
maybe the explosion on yourself is the Astral Fire buff?
polar hound
then delete them and go through unlock 50+
fire 2 is targetted, does an aoe around your current target
yeah astral fire buff prolly
@sturdy mason are you in shire gear or? min ilvl is 255 to get into doma so 275 shouldnt be terrible..but the pulls can get a bit large/hard hitting
reprisal/arms length/sheltrons really help
polar hound
bardams and doma have a lot of...uh..well
check reddit, youll find at least several posts about healers yelling at tanks and vice versa in those two lol
could be that the dps arent aoeing also
granite swan
Bardrams we wiped on first pull lol, that big bear just went like berserk and started 2 shotting everyone
polar hound
sounds accurate. it was a nightmare at launch with randos.
zinc orbitBOT
raven sage
If you're at level then yeah you should be getting your butted kicked a little
hallow pilot
Quick question, so far have been just going through Stormblood MSQ and daily roulette. Whats the endgame content of ffxiv or content im accidentally neglecting on my way to max level ?
proud willow
the main difficult endgame content is Savage difficulty raids
some people go beyond that to do the Ultimate raids, which there are only a grand total of 3 of so far
west flame
How do I know what material to meld with my gear?
calm phoenix
Someone has a statue resembling the Sapphire Weapon from FF7 at their house. Where can I get it? Market board does not turn anything up for "sapphire weapon"
Nobody has an answer? It is non-existent only to me?
Why is nobody answering me???
It is my favorite creature in all of Final Fantasy and NOBODY wants to help me!!!
raw solstice
it's been like no time at all
calm phoenix
several minutes
raw solstice
yes and?
quasi hawk
it's from the newest Sorrows of Whatsits quest
analog gate
How do I know what material to meld with my gear?
@west flame it depends on your class, for example tanks usually want to meld crit, then direct hit, then determination
you can check the balance discord for meld priorities on each class
calm phoenix
So I have a bit to go before I can get it? Do I need to roll for it or anything? As I said, it is my favorite creature in all of Final Fantasy. It is the reason why I named my gaming page after it.
leaden ginkgo
It's quest based so there's no competition
calm phoenix
MSQ or side quest?
raw solstice
sidequest, at level 80
quasi hawk
Sleep Now In Sapphire; Sapphire Weapon bust reward
calm phoenix
Plus + quest or no?
leaden ginkgo
Sidequest, it's relatively new so you have to be up to date with the msq
raw solstice
yes, it's a 
the starting quest for the chain pops up right next to MSQ when you get to that point
calm phoenix
You mean like an adjacent NPC has the quest?
quasi hawk
It's in the Lochs
raw solstice
yes, you'll be doing level 80 MSQ, and when you complete one MSQ the next one will show up, and there'll also be a that pops up next to it too. And yup, in the lochs
quasi hawk
you have to do Ruby Weapon first
raw solstice
well yeah but I was just describing the entry point to the whole quest chain
calm phoenix
Well, it will be something to look forward to. I always loved the cutscene from the original FF7.
faint galleon
so as someone that just started playing FFXIV which classes do u guys think are the most fun to play?
ripe hound
Crafting!
granite swan
Red Mage! :p
twilit arch
i find summoner the most fun
granite swan
I started as Summoner cause i wanted a pet class, ended up finding out its not a pet class anymore, its just a mobile DoT Lol
with fl00f
quasi hawk
subjective; try them all and see which one is fun for you 🙂
limpid sorrel
Hey, so I just reached level 63 on paladin and it said I have a job quest available but I can't find the location.
twilit arch
if you're still on the post HW msq you need to get thru that first before you can do the lvl 60-70 job quests
calm phoenix
Summoner is a pet class. It has Carbunkle and later Egi primals as pets
limpid sorrel
The msq I'm in is called "Bolt, Chain, and Island"
twilit arch
well, answer is still the same since you're on HW msq
limpid sorrel
Oh aight
twilit arch
you have to be on stormblood msq to be able to do stormblood job quests
twilit arch
yep
granite swan
Its not a Pet Class though, it use to be
a mobile dot doesnt make it a pet class :p
limpid sorrel
Aight, thx Kaelwryn!

Two part question, whens the new housing plots estimated at, a couple of weeks to release?
Second is can a sprout like me earn that kind of money for say a small house in that time? Currently I'm on 1.8 mil and a lvl 76 pal, but still in stormblood msq near end of base stormblood
plain python
I assume apartments have no garden slot?
warped nest
Nope
sleek roost
You can put two flower pots in them though
quasi hawk
we don't know for sure but it's sometime in the next two to four weeks
plain python
so no-crossbreed?
sleek roost
Correct
warped nest
Regarding making enough Gil to save up for a small plot, I would say... Sure if you play hard, but I am not sure I'd recommend that
sleek roost
Oh and no firm date on 5.35 and that depends how much work you put in @fierce cobalt - you will get some gil from MSQ
Maybe with roulettes and a little marketboard activity you'll get there?
Default small housing prices are what... 3-3.75mil?
plain python
can you re-change Retainter's appearance?
warped nest
Yes
twilit arch
retainer's fantasia
can buy it off the marketboard or potentially get it from quick ventures
should be fairly cheap to buy from mb tho
sleek roost
Looking at the prices on Tonberry (since you're JP Momo) they sell for 2-3k gil so yeah dirt cheap
zinc orbitBOT
fierce cobalt
Thanks, I've been doing roulette almost everyday, what do you mean by market board activity? All the stuff I've found hasnt been great money
wooden ginkgo
i thought i was supposed to unlock companies at lvl 20 but i still dont have it at 24 am i missing something?
warped nest
!faq mount
zinc orbitBOT
warped nest
Check your journal, what's the level of your 
wooden ginkgo
oh its lvl 17 
gloomy ice
Quests have their own level. The minimum you need to accept it. So when they say a level 20 quest, they mean in terms of story progression, not your class/job level.
acoustic cave
Are Ninjas any good?
wooden ginkgo
ooh
wintry chasm
!faq meta
zinc orbitBOT
plain python
since your flight speed is faster than riding speed, no point to get riding maps anymore?
wintry chasm
"Is X any good?" is an automatic "yes"
quasi hawk
yes, if you play it well
warped nest
Thanks, I've been doing roulette almost everyday, what do you mean by market board activity? All the stuff I've found hasnt been great money
@fierce cobalt A craft/gather stuff and sell them
B get rare drops from ex or what not and sell them
C flip existing items. For example, buy items for cheap, and resell at higher price.
acoustic cave
so there aren't certain classes that are just better?
wintry chasm
No there aren't
since your flight speed is faster than riding speed, no point to get riding maps anymore?
It's certainly not important no
wooden ginkgo
this is kind of stupid but do you think ill like dark knight even though i hate tanking
i just like the look lol
gloomy ice
This game is pretty well balanced and any disparity between classes is noticed only at the highest levels of play and the difference is single percentage points or less.
warped nest
Hard to answer if we don't know why you hate tanking
plain python
is blue mage good for allied seal gain? I read that their exclusive contents give allied seal specifically.
quasi hawk
tankiety
wooden ginkgo
yes lol
warped nest
DPS has pressure too
plain python
also, can they join Hunt via party finder?
warped nest
You just don't know it yet
quasi hawk
can't get over it without doing it
fierce cobalt
Oh that's a question I want to ask the Mount speed increases you get from farming hunts, does that affect both ground speed and flying speed?
wintry chasm
also, can they join Hunt via party finder?
Hunts don't really require a party
Just ground speed Incarnater
warped nest
Re: job meta
At the highest level of play, yes, there is a minute difference. But nothing significantly better, you won't see "wow this party setup can kill boss in 7 minutes instead of the standard 12"
quasi hawk
yes BLU can join hunts but since they cap at 60 and most of the worthwhile hunts are at 80, they'd get wrecked
fierce cobalt
Wow that's a lot more useless than I thought, down the priority list it goes, thanks
wintry chasm
Re: job meta
At the highest level of play, yes, there is a minute difference. But nothing significantly better, "wow this party setup can kill boss in 7 minutes instead of the standard 12"
It'd be like, "wow this party setup kill this boss in 7 minutes instead of 7 minutes, 10 seconds"
warped nest
Yup
quasi hawk
people don't really bother with lv 60 hunts anymore unless its like an S-Rank
wintry chasm
it's
A) How well can you play the job
B) How well can you do the mechanics of the fight
C) Gear
warped nest
It genuinely comes down to player skill in the end, as unusual as this is
@wooden ginkgo regarding tanking pressure.... I mean... Take baby steps first before you ramp it up
Don't go and try wall to wall right away
wintry chasm
and don't just jump straight into a higher level dungeon
can always just queue for a lower level one
wooden ginkgo
ooh ok
wintry chasm
Just take the advice you'll get and you'll get used to it eventually
warped nest
Tanks have very simple damage rotation
Should give you plenty of brain power left to think about using defensive cooldown
leaden ginkgo
i need help with ishgard restoration where do i go to turn in gathering items for easy exp
wintry chasm
It took me a fair while to not get stressed out with tanking thinking about others complaining about what I'm doing
wooden ginkgo
my gladiator was lvl 12 and i thought it was pretty fun
granite swan
I just finished my WHM and im to stressed to even do PLD through 70s dungeons cause of it rofl
quasi hawk
99% of players won't care
warped nest
No shame in making sure your party member know you are new
"first time here as tank, gonna take it slow"
wooden ginkgo
yeah
wintry chasm
i need help with ishgard restoration where do i go to turn in gathering items for easy exp
Turning in the items doesn't give xp
but Flotpassant is who you want to talk to for turning them in
wooden ginkgo
i already played some dungeons as gladiator but i just dont really know how to play it since i've never played as a tank before in any game
granite swan
Id say, take it into Palace of the Dead :p low risk and u can learn stuff about it, to see if you wanna keep going
slim jasper
Hiya, I need help. Someone randomly joined our Free Company and stole items from the company chest. I've filed a report for inappropriate behavior. Just wanted to know if there's anything else to catch the thief
warped nest
@wooden ginkgo Tldr on how to tank
mobs
Pull to the best of your ability, then cycle defensive cooldown to reduce damage taken. Key tip use defensive stuff on high health give you more margin to soak up damage.
boss
Face boss away from party, don't need to use defensive cooldown as frequently. Try to keep the boss in the same spot whenever possible. Key tip you can rotate around the boss or walk into them to avoid damage aoe.
twilit arch
if they had access to the company chest, then SE isn't going to do anything about it
wintry chasm
^ it's a "you made it public it's your fault" kinda deal
vernal urchin
should have set up the initial join rank not able to take stuff out of the chest
twilit arch
its on you/your fc to make sure that ranks are set up appropriately
wooden ginkgo
ok tysmm!
twilit arch
so the only people who can have access to it are the people you want able to have access to it
silent zodiac
I died on palace of the dead, and when I try to go back in on the same save, it says "Party KO count for this save data is more tahn zero. later floors will not be accessible. Proceed?"
What does this mean? I can't go past where I died?
wintry chasm
It means you can't get past floor 100
warped nest
You need to make a new save
wintry chasm
which are the cool harder, better loot sections
silent zodiac
how do I delete the save and start over?
granite swan
2nd or 3rd option should be "Reset
silent zodiac
Ohh i see, ty!
fierce cobalt
Tanking question, when doing casual stuff like roulette, is it better general practice to use the strong, long CD stuff first or the weaker short cd stuff first?
Ie sentinel vs reprisal
warped nest
Either or
The more potent stuff (including Invuln skill)
Should be used early on at high health when you have 6, 9, or 12 enemies hitting you
Once you got down to 3-4 enemies, either or is fine tbh
mental garnet
so i have titan-egi but not garuda-egi, and i got put into halatali (so no ifrit-egi available). should i use emerald carbuncle or titan-egi for trash packs?
i was using emerald carbuncle cuz i figured aoe would still be better but i'm not sure
dapper shadow
Emerald for trash titan for bosses
wintry chasm
Yeah you'd want to use Garuda for trash just because it's aoe
mental garnet
even when it's not garuda, got it
wintry chasm
and trash packs are, well, going to be a lot
mental garnet
i want to get to level 45 so i can actually get garuda
wintry chasm
Well emerald and garuda are basically the same thing
mental garnet
i just remember reading that egis are way stronger than carbuncles
warped nest
Different skills, same functions
mental garnet
but it might have been just talking about ifrit
wooden ginkgo
wait why am i traveling around and stuff. Like story based. Cause i skipped all of the cutscenes in the beggining
what am i trying to acomplish
wooden ginkgo
oh
warped nest
And you made a name for yourself
wintry chasm
If you want to know these answers you really should pay attention to the story
warped nest
And people come to you for more problem solving
west flame
@west flame it depends on your class, for example tanks usually want to meld crit, then direct hit, then determination
you can check the balance discord for meld priorities on each class
@analog gate there’s a separate discord for it? Or it’s a text channel in this discord?
warped nest
!faq balance
zinc orbitBOT
warped nest
Beat y'all to it, muahaha
analog gate
also generally not recommended to meld before you reach 80
warped nest
You replace gears too fast for any melds to be worthwhile
wintry chasm
im at the seven scions thing rn
I'm not sure what you mean but if you keep skipping the plot it'll never be good just saying
wooden ginkgo
oh ok
wintry chasm
Sure there might be low parts at times but you need to know this shit to understand
warped nest
Some of the early ARR stuff is setting backgrounds up, you can kinda just pay half attention to it
The higher level you go
wintry chasm
and like, if you keep going and something big happens to this character you'll be like "ah who gives a shit" because you never actually...learned about this character and grew to like them
warped nest
The more attention you should pay, because it is stuff building on top of each other
wooden ginkgo
i started paying attention to the story when i was around lvl 15
and it feels like nothing happened
warped nest
You are a nobody then
quasi hawk
was doing WoD the other day and a SMN had titan-egi out
wooden ginkgo
D:
gilded bronze
if im a free trial user, when i buy the full game key that gives a 30 days suscription will i still be able to redeem it?
quasi hawk
just kinda lawl'd and kept going
wintry chasm
That's because it's been explaining to you about the calamity and your nation and it's troubles, world building Kirby
warped nest
@gilded bronze yes, registering starter Edition will give you 30 days
gilded bronze
sweet
wooden ginkgo
oh
silent zodiac
Can I quit palace of the dead without dying and just save my progress and come back later on the climb to 50? Or will i get a penalty for that
faint flare
Same throughout
dry pelican
did i screw myself out of unlimited play time(to an extent) by going with the starter edition vs trial?
wintry chasm
yes
faint flare
As long as you haven't registered it
wintry chasm
Well
faint flare
Otherwise yes
wintry chasm
actually yeah what Vinyl said
I kinda made the assumption you already registered the code
dry pelican
i joined when SE was giving free mode to everyone at one point
dry pelican
i think i had heavenswarn for free
wintry chasm
But did you register the code?
fossil blade
to buy 480 gear
faint flare
So you own it already and have it
Crafting, treasure maps, selling tome mats
You can check your Mogstation
dry pelican
yea it was the twitch prime promo back then.. okay danm..
warped nest
Getting a free Starter is not the same as playing in Free Trial XD
faint flare
Would need to hit up the sub to use that account
dry pelican
lets assume you want all your alts to whatever heavensward level cap is.. is it easier to do so by having a shadowbringer max character, or it doesn't matteR?
faint flare
Having the expansions doesn't matter until you actually get there
In the story
As the story locks the expansion content
novel rock
does anyone know if theres a decent way to get legendary yokai medals bc I feel like specific types of fates give the legendary ones and I dont know if Im doing it right, I know the legendaries are area specific but are there other things to look out for to get the legendary ones
faint flare
Just any fate in the respective area
dry pelican
well does leveling alts get easier as you progress through the latest content?
faint flare
Its just rng
faint flare
Well when you've gone through the content you have access to more levelling options
Like Heaven on high and more dungeons
dry pelican
does shadowbringer bring any content that makes it easier to level?
warped nest
Nothing atm, boop
dry pelican
oh..
mmm now im in debate whether to create a new email and trial my way till i get all my jobs max..
then again i absolutely hated aar story and fetch quest
faint flare
It was shortened and streamlined somewhat
granite swan
Not like you cant skip cutscenes and stuff :p
dry pelican
i heard of that but not sure to what degree
faint flare
Removed quest comparison
Average cutout and streamlining is somewhere around 20 ish hours
Or so
Plus flying for Post ARR helps speed that up
granite swan
I got a couple DoH Questions regarding Ishgard, should i toss em in here or in the DoH Lounge?
wintry chasm
Here is fine
dry pelican
are there certain jobs that excel at their specific roles by a large margin?
faint flare
No
stable herald
Is Afflatus Misery something that is frequently pressed?
granite swan
If im planning to do Ishgard leveling, is it needed to do the quests before 50? Thinking of just blitzing them all to 50/51 so i can ditch all the pre-50 gear, but idk how feasable that is
stable herald
just got blood lily, so yay blood for blood lily, but i see theres also an AoE for lilies
so im just wondering if i should rearrange my keys
dry pelican
can i progress through the game without ever touching crafts?
obsidian patio
Yes
faint flare
Plus blood lily progress
stable herald
dont have AoE lily yet.
quasi hawk
you don't have to do the DoH quests to level DoH higher
ripe hound
If you are leveling crafters, should you do the job quests?
faint flare
Yes
stable herald
but in MOST dungeons, Plenary REALLY isn't that.. utilized?
obsidian patio
Yes, as the level 65 quest gives a powerful skill
stable herald
like.. one Medica/Medica 2 and everyone is full
ripe hound
Oh
faint flare
Plenary is extra helpful
dry pelican
but if im playing for the story content and seasonal events, i dont have to rely on crafting? (nier collab being a seasonal event)
ripe hound
Nope
quasi hawk
nier isn't seasonal
granite swan
Nier is perma, not seasonal
winged cobalt
Nier is not seasonal
obsidian patio
Nier is a permanent event
ripe hound
Also nier collab is not a seasonal
winged cobalt
it's permanent
winged cobalt
just like Rathalos
faint flare
Yes you can do medica to top everyone off....OR wait and do plenary + medica for the next aoe
And top off there
dry pelican
Rathalos.. as in monster hunter? i didnt know there was that
ripe hound
Yeah
granite swan
Yup
winged cobalt
Kugane
wintry chasm
It's a level 70 trial
ripe hound
I should go farm it a bit
dry pelican
is there a phantasy star collab somewhere
faint flare
No
ripe hound
Nopr
winged cobalt
for us currently... no
wintry chasm
I...want to say PSO2 got their end of one
ripe hound
PSO is Sega right?
granite swan
Nier is also Squeenix thats why FF14 got it
wintry chasm
Akira MHW
dry pelican
yokai watch? O-o
wintry chasm
Yokai is timed
ripe hound
Oh wait MHW is not SE
wintry chasm
but it's until 5.4 so months left
stable herald
i may sound a lil bit of a psychopath, but i sometimes look at tanks at like.. 40% and think they can wait for a lily heal rather than a oGCD
same applies to AoEs
ripe hound
Also Yokai is Annual I think
wintry chasm
Not annual
dry pelican
it isnt? i couldve sworn i read of it last year..
ripe hound
Bi annual?
granite swan
depends if the tank is a Gimpblade or a paladin :p
wintry chasm
It's been reran a few times at least but like...it's not annual
stable herald
How much do people usually wait, before dropping heals
wintry chasm
Yokai watch is like, whenever it is
ripe hound
Yeah probably once per expansion then
faint flare
Like 20-30%
stable herald
The Yokai is special case
quasi hawk
this is only the 2nd time
ripe hound
Seriously?
quasi hawk
last Yokai was like two years ago
stable herald
@faint flare gotcha. Thanks
ripe hound
I swear there are like 2 yokais before this
wintry chasm
Noooo I swear it ran twice because people complained it was Yokai Watch before
faint flare
Unless i know the buster is coming then I'll throw abit extra as safety
gilded bronze
will there be more events to get free costumes and something like that?
wintry chasm
It definitely ran at least twice before
ripe hound
Yeah Yokai definitely ran twice before, one for StB and one for HW
faint flare
Just about learning the incoming damage pattern
wintry chasm
Yes @gilded bronze
faint flare
There will always be more events
gilded bronze
whats next event
dry pelican
okay so Samurai/Machinist/RedMage/Dancer what sort of niche to they bring to the table? Like Astrogolian its a heal/buffer, Scholar likes their DoTs n shield?
quasi hawk
i don't remember it ever being run before but maybe i zoned it out
paper torrent
is there a release date for 5.35?
wintry chasm
Make it Rain should be the next one
ripe hound
No idea, probably 5.4 launch
faint flare
They bring damage @dry pelican
ripe hound
What's make it rain?
granite swan
Red Mage is your "the healers facetanked an orange and u get to play rezbot" :p
ripe hound
MGP event?
quasi hawk
mgp event
wintry chasm
faint flare
Red mage has a res and can chain res, dancer has alot of buffs for the group but lower personal damage to offset it
dry pelican
ah so dancer is the off dps (support/dps)
ripe hound
Yeah Red Mage is the "half the party died" -> My Time Has Come!
wintry chasm
They said they wanted to do the FFXV collab again but....that might be early december or.....early next year
wintry chasm
and damage through buffing
faint flare
They damage while buffing others
brave ravine
there's no resurrection cooldown per encounter like in wow?
faint flare
No
silent zodiac
After 10 floors in PotD, how do i safely exit?
wintry chasm
but resurrection costs a lot of mana and time
faint flare
And grt ressed
quasi hawk
only class that as a rez cooldown is BLU
ripe hound
Yeah, it cost 36% MANA?
faint flare
Yes aesy
ripe hound
or is it 24%?
obsidian patio
24%
granite swan
@silent zodiac the exit portal, the other portal is if you wanna que again with same team
gilded bronze
is blu mage worth levelling?
ripe hound
kk
quasi hawk
its fun
wintry chasm
24%
math nerd
faint flare
If you want to mess around and have fun doing broken shit
quasi hawk
silly and overpowered
dry pelican
i dont think you can join matchmaking as a bluemage
wintry chasm
^
dry pelican
which would make it auto not worth it for me atleast
quasi hawk
not WORTH leveling but fun if you're looking for something different
obsidian patio
Blue Mage can be summarized as: Side content; the job.
faint flare
Blu is very good for farming events
ripe hound
Yeah BLU is like the weird Fate class
faint flare
For what its worth
wintry chasm
You'd just be going around killing mobs and making premade parties and going into dungeons to learn all the monster spells and fuck around as you delete mobs instantly with some broken ass skills
faint flare
Fates events, moogle tomes
granite swan
Worth leveling if you wanna get the FATE achievements quickly, since u can ez blow up FATE bosses in ARR lol
obsidian patio

i kinda wonder why they wont allow blue in matchmaking, i mean you could categorize bluemage role based on what skills they bring//

morbol mount cries in no BLU static
obsidian patio
What if I told you Blue Mage can make this do like 5k+ potency
honest anvil
is there not an exit to the back of the house of the fierce?
ripe hound
I think it's because BLU have too many broken shit?
quasi hawk
they won't let BLU do matchmaking cause its stupid broken lol
granite swan
Missle Missle Missle, boss at 15%
dry pelican
its not likek you need to balance in the story mode stuff 😦
wintry chasm
is there not an exit to the back of the house of the fierce?
back?
ripe hound
Like anyway I'm just gonna DELETE the boss real quick
faint flare
And people would kick blues if they dont have specific spells
dapper shadow
tbh they should let us initiate blu finder in blu logs
dry pelican
i would love a matchmaker for blues only
wintry chasm
Just set that up for party finder
ripe hound
But yeah, matchmake for blu could be fun
wintry chasm
you can already do that
quasi hawk
that'd be nice, but we also have PF, so ultimately unnecessary
dry pelican
i dunno how i would even approach levleing blue mages without matchmaker..
faint flare
Mob grind
ripe hound
Just might go a bit like Raid Finder
dapper shadow
having a friend helps
faint flare
Blue gets shit xp in dungeons
wintry chasm
blue mage gets a massive increase to xp to overworld mob killing
granite swan
or a checkmark like undersized party etc
[ ] Allow Blue Mages? *Warning, will drastically change party play.

like, a way out of house of the fierce that leads to the doma castle side, not the namai side
dry pelican
OH
faint flare
Farming overworld mobs is far better
dapper shadow
azyslla baybeeeee
dry pelican
okay, based on your experience, without all those paid exp boosters, how long does it take to max level a new job?
faint flare
You cant go to the Doma castle side until lv67
granite swan
fish slap lv 59s in Azyla :p with an 80 friend
ripe hound
About 2 hours a day for 2 weeks?
cinder maple
If I want to buy a bigger house, do I have to relinquish my small house first?
faint flare
You can relocation
ripe hound
Nah, more than that
obsidian patio
Probably a bit over a week depending on how much you no-life
faint flare
And get a discount
cinder maple
How do i do that?
faint flare
Your stuff will automatically be put into storage and its temporarily doubled
ripe hound
It's definitely not hard to max a job from 1 to 80 in a week if you no life a bit
cinder maple
gotcha. and if I want to change the free company plot into a personal house, I should relocate it first? and then wait for the previous plot to be up for sale and then buy it?
granite swan
im waiting for 5.35 before i level more, 1-70 is PoTD/HoH if i want, but 70+ is annoying dungeons lol, or i can wait till Bazha or whatever lol
ripe hound
Yeah, 70+ is mostly roulette
I personally really don't like deep dungeons, so it's all roulette for me
quasi hawk
Faerie tribe quests too
granite swan
those are only like 6m a day tho
ripe hound
Right I should try some tribe quests
sweet leaf
what dungeon was it that everyone recommends for leveling 1-60?
quasi hawk
its still a good 20% of your level
ripe hound
The dungeon right bellow your level
sweet leaf
nono it was something something of the dead idk
granite swan
Palace of the Dead?
ripe hound
But generally the leveling roulette once a day
sweet leaf
i think so? how do you get access to it?
ripe hound
Yeah palace of the dead is part of the deep dungeons
granite swan
Quarrymill
ripe hound
You basically get almost all your skills when you enter
granite swan
its uh, south shroud?
ripe hound
Yeah, south shroud
granite swan
Its honestly not worth doin until like 12-15 tho, Hunting Log is faster xp till then
sweet leaf
i see quarrymill but i dont see a palace of the dead dungeon
ripe hound
Would hunting be slow if you can't fly?
granite swan
You talk to an NPC there
granite swan
I forget if its a blue quest or not
ripe hound
But basically you complete a quest chain to unlock it
granite swan
ripe hound
Nice
sweet leaf
ah so it's not duty finder
granite swan
nah, PoTD and HoH u have to talk to an NPC every time
zinc orbitBOT
sweet leaf
what's HoH?
granite swan
Heaven on High, 61-70 version of PoTD
sweet leaf
sounds like a jojo stand lmao
ripe hound
Yeah
granite swan
Once you slog out 1-50, PoTD is really nice to test new classes on in 51-60. It gives you everything up to 60 for your Class/Job(If you have stone equipped)
cinder maple
whats the difference between first-class plot and fifth-class plot?
zinc orbitBOT
cinder maple
How do you determine the class? Just by the price?
faint flare
They're static in the zone
cinder maple
Zone like Kugane, Ul'dah, Gridania, Limsa? Or like servers
faint flare
There's a map of plots and grade somewhere that you can Google
elder sinew
Is there a way to see how many dungeons you've done?
dry pelican
do dps characters still have a hard time to level vs healers/tanks?
obsidian patio
@elder sinew tracked in achievements
granite swan
Achievements -> Battle -> Dungeons -> should be multiple achievements
If your tryin to track the one for tank mount, not sure what its under
elder sinew
Ah k thx
obsidian patio
Tank mounts would be in the first battle subcategory
random hollow
are fate contributions based on dps only?
plain python
does hunting log expand further than lv40-50 article?
little swift
are fate contributions based on dps only?
@random hollow fate contributions are based on enmity. having more aggro will give more contribution
does hunting log expand further than lv40-50 article?
@plain python no. it becomes allied hunts and centurio hunts and nut hunts later
plain python
I still need to do lv1-50 articles to access those?
elder meteor
what ilvl or other qualification does an item need to accept materia viii?
vocal shell
420 or 430 i believe
elder meteor
ah ok. so like the lv80 crafted sets are 430 I think. that'll work
little swift
I still need to do lv1-50 articles to access those?
@plain python iirc you don't need to finish your hunting log to unlock allied hunts. you just need to be the right level and teh right GC rank

You shouldn't meld until you start raiding imo

How do i tell how much xp i have left on my manuals? Lol
or am i reading it wrong, hm
Does the Manual buff wear off once you've gained 1m xp, or does it work for 18 hours, but doesnt give a bonus higher then 1m xp?
elder meteor
the buff goes away
twilit arch
it wears off once you've earned the max bonus
granite swan
okay thats what i thought, but wasnt sure
Is there a way to check how much you have left?
white tapir
there any references for good macros for tanks (using ps4 controller) esp marking / quick targeting etc

there a shortcut for marking then?

Hey everyone I'm new to selling things on the market board and I'm confused... Why is the asking price different from the total? How much money would I get? The asking price or total?
sand stratus
You can drag waymarks and targets to your hotbars
faint flare
No one cares about marking mobs
sand stratus
If that's what you mean
Asking price is per unit
You're selling 281 units
So your total is 281
twilit arch
the price will be slightly higher than 281 for the buyer due to tax
viral crag
Right i get that part
I've just never sold crystals or shards before so I was kinda confused
Thanks
white tapir
@faint flare I guess, just ran that moogle trial and woulda been nice to mark stuff for the group - esp to help the new folks
twilit arch
doesn't really matter even in the moogle mog trial beyond not focusing the king before the other moogles are dead

Anyone know what this slow song is from Nier Automata? Driving me crazy, because I can't seem to find any info on it.

does perception (or any other stat) affect the chance for hidden items to pop up in nodes?

where can I find groups to kill Elite marks?
@leaden ginkgo if you're looking for an A rank party, you look for your data center's respective hunt train discord
aether uses aether hunts
but the general one is centurio hunts
does perception (or any other stat) affect the chance for hidden items to pop up in nodes?
@elder meteor it shouldn't affect the chance, but not having enough perception iirc makes it so you cannot have a chance of spawning the item at all

So I use ALT+1 as a hotkey, and every now and then when I press it, it opens up my chat. does anyone know why? is it already bound to another key or something?
my only guess it might have to do with where my mouse is when I press it? no idea

is critical hit useful for magic?

easiest way for me to get to ilvl 460 ? :3

@runic hollow iirc alt+s will switch your chat mode to say by default, and lets you start typing
you probably tried to walk back while trying to also press the alt+1?
is critical hit useful for magic?
@random hollow yes, spells can crit too
granite swan
@leaden ginkgo if 80? Role quest gives 430 gear, 485 wep from resistance, can buy 480 jewelry off market or use your phantasm
analog gate
easiest way for me to get to ilvl 460 ? :3
@leaden ginkgo farm level 80 dungeons or roulettes using level 80 character, and grab tomes of phantasmagoria to trade with deepshadow gear
(only applicable if you've finished ShB)
another option is buying neo-ishgardian from the marketboard, ilvl 480
leaden ginkgo
what can i get for 435 phantasmagoria? 😮
granite swan
like a piece of jewelry or maybe boots or gloves?
leaden ginkgo
ahh apparently not much i see XD
yea :3
i need to do heroes gauntlet
but i am too low ilvl ;__;
granite swan
Do you have your 430 gear from role quest?
marsh fable
Another trick could be to buy the previous crafted gear and upgrade it.
granite swan
If you dont wanna drop money, you could run Copied Factory raid (nier) for 460 gear drops
leaden ginkgo
hey can you change your haircut?
granite swan
yeah if you've done the aethesician quest

@granite swan i have never done that before. i dont think i have it unlocked? way to get it unlocked?

gusty pasture
are Namazu actual fish people or are they just lalafells in fish costumes?
granite swan
most likely Fish people, ||Since they are a beast tribe||
gusty pasture
Ahh they are? Oh that's great I thought SB only had 2
granite swan
Well actually, i guess thats kinda wrong by that assumption alone >.>
But i think the one in the story is a lil smaller then Tataru isnt it?
marsh fable
I mean, they are, but || so are dwarves ||.
granite swan
Yeah thats why i said by that assumption alone, i forgot lol
gusty pasture
I guess so, I don't really know how small a lala can get
marsh fable
Fair enough.
I now want to see a Lalafell dressed in a Namazu costume trying to blend in with them.

Is there any reason SE decided to disconnect abilities from Job Quests in Stormblood?
Aside from level 70 ofc
leaden ginkgo
is there a way to borrow a striped ray mount from the koijin again?
granite swan
Should be able to use any mount, but i think if you go talk to him again?
warped nest
Design wise, they don't have to force a new ability to be learnt on every single job quests you do
If you mean you are doing Koji beast tribe quest, and you lost the ray
little swift
you have to use the one you get specifically from the npc
warped nest
Talk to a NPC with blue exclamation mark
little swift
so go back to that npc and tlak to them
i've tried to use the rank 7 mount version of it and it doesn't work
leaden ginkgo
oh i finished that particular quest i was just wondering if i could reborrow the sea pancake again
little swift
you'll get it as a reward you can buy from the shop later
leaden ginkgo
;_; awww
warped nest
Same deal with all beast tribes
Snake lady beast tribe let you use an elephant for their quests
And you can claim one of your own once you rank up enough
leaden ginkgo
||oh i was doing the msq in stormblood and they gave you the sea pancake to go like two feet to the next villager over||
leaden ginkgo
eh i just wanted to be careful

MCH does suffer from issues if you have high ping though
leaden ginkgo
which ranks should I hunt for allegory tomes? S or A?
ripe hound
A Rank trains
leaden ginkgo
I joined the hunt discord, but I can't find the channel
ripe hound
After joining https://discord.gg/aetherhunts
Go to #hunt-reaction-roles
And get yourself a role
leaden ginkgo
ok
ripe hound
And then they will automatically ping you when there is a train
After around 3 trains your weekly will be filled.
Then you can cancel the role by clicking it again, if you want.
little swift
you can't increase the cap
ripe hound
Yeah, 10 Allegory per boss, and each train is about 16 bosses
little swift
once you hit 450 you can't earn more for the week
ripe hound
But yeah, no increase
little swift
it'll revert back to 12bosses soon
ripe hound
Next patch (5.4) will probably remove the limit, but will also introduce a new tomestone
But yeah, you might need 4 trains then
leaden ginkgo
well, even if they remove the limit, I'd have to get that gear for progress anyway
however, I wonder if they make it more accessible as well
dry flame
what glamour can i use to cosplay this
ripe hound
This... is challenging...?
leaden ginkgo
ripe hound
Also probably no, I mean the highest tier of tomestone is always capped
leaden ginkgo
people in the glamour channel may know more
ripe hound
Since they are used to buy the best gears in the patch
dry flame
low shore
can u use market board on free trial
obsidian patio
No
obsidian patio
@dry flame pretty much the only thing you could possibly find that’s somewhat close to that outfit is maybe the spear with a similar one
The tokens are used to exchange for the gear
ripe hound
kk so you can just farm Eden with your best class right?
obsidian patio
Yep
ripe hound
nice
leaden ginkgo
@ripe hound how or where can I check if there's an upcoming train?
granite swan
and have to fight 7 other ppl tooth and nail for every part :p
ripe hound
Kinda Lore Question, ||Are the bosses in Eden reference to another work? Or are they all original designs for FFxiv?||
No, it only tells you when a train is gonna happen
obsidian patio
||the primals are basically how we “remember” us fighting them, meshed with other things||
ripe hound
Go to the train announcement channel, and you can see announced trains
leaden ginkgo
do they make a party I must join? sorry, this is something I don't understand how it work
ripe hound
They usually begin immediately (5-10min) after announcing
You don't have to join a party, but you should join one, it makes getting full credit for kills easier
Just join one in Party Finder, or start one yourself
jade quartz
The ||reimagined primals|| are original designs for XIV, as is everything else except for ||Eden itself which is of course a FF8 reference||
ripe hound
Oh so ||reimagined primals are basically original design for the primals that was discarded||. And ||there are some other FF8 reference including Eden||?
I haven't played much FF before FF14, so I didn't really got any of the references lol.
Oh, also I haven't even started Eden yet lol
leaden ginkgo
Is there a list (with PICTURES) of all mounts or minions? And clothes for glamour?
obsidian patio
Them being original concept designs is not a thing IIRC
if you mean from like 2.0
jade quartz
@ripe hound no nothing discarded
cerulean kraken
Hey guys, just started the game and I'm not that happy with my class choice(lvl 20ish now). Would it be smart to level up a new class now or just wait till I'm higher level?
ripe hound
@leaden ginkgo And yeah, usually a train consists of around 50-100 people. So there are no way you can put everyone in a party.
kk, so basically more like redesign of the primals?
jade quartz
Yes
ripe hound
Nice
jade quartz
Exactly
ripe hound
Love it
leaden ginkgo
@cerulean kraken You can change if you want you get double XP (I think double) for every class below your highest classes level
ripe hound
@cerulean kraken Don't worry, after completing around lv 15 MSQ you can change classes
obsidian patio
@leaden ginkgo not sure of a current up to date website for glamour sets but this site tracks a bunch of stuff like mounts and minions https://ffxivcollect.com/
ripe hound
Feel free to level other classes and see how they feels
jade quartz
@cerulean kraken changing class is easy and level 20 will be very fast to catch up to.
ripe hound
And remember, if your current class is at least 1 level below your max leveled class, you get an experience bonus.
obsidian patio
Also switching classes only needs your level 10 class quest done, no story progress needed
leaden ginkgo
@obsidian patio Thanks
cerulean kraken
Owh ok thanks guys :) and I normally main healers in MMOs are they viable to go through the story with?
obsidian patio
Yes
leaden ginkgo
Yes @cerulean kraken
obsidian patio
All jobs can do the story
jade quartz
All jobs do damage
obsidian patio
If anything healers have the easiest time when there’s no explicit DPS check
ripe hound
Also all jobs are damage dealers
leaden ginkgo
Heck I love some WHM nukes
ripe hound
EVERYONE IS DPS
obsidian patio
Since you can keep yourself alive and slowly whittle down the story fights
vestal needle
is music playing only limited to bbard?
obsidian patio
Yes
ripe hound
Yeah I think so
vestal needle
or do i just need a bard and then switch to any class?
cerulean kraken
Sweet thanks guys :) loving the game it's amazing
ripe hound
Cool, have fun!
vestal needle
thanks 🙂
ripe hound
@leaden ginkgo Oh and one more thing, sometimes because there are too much people the boss won't render.
When this happens, you can either spam heals, or spam AOE that don't needs targeting.
As long as you "contribute" by gaining aggro, you get kill credit.

yes

Does crafting stuff for Ishgard Restoration counts as crafting collectables for Mentor status?
Wait, Aesthete set is gonna be the best for the rest of Shadowbringers!?
And it's a Market Board set?
obsidian patio
Yes.
ripe hound
Cool
slate arrow
it's the best because of melds
ripe hound
Oh and it's not as expensive as I imagined
slate arrow
yeah the price hella fell over the past few days
ripe hound
Wait why did it fall?
slate arrow
undercutter bots, mainly
ripe hound
kk
slate arrow
it was 2.5-3mil a set before
vague forge
And as for main hand and offhand, I'm assuming BiS is the upgraded Skysteel tool + Aesthete offhand?
ripe hound
Do you think I should just buy them now?
slate arrow
skysteel won't be bis until 5.5 or so
ripe hound
Like buy a set of left and right for gatherer and crafter?
slate arrow
if you can afford it sure
ripe hound
I mean I do have like a spare 19 mil lying around...
But I currently don't even have any crafter or gatherer at max level yet...
ripe hound
¯_(ツ)_/¯
slate arrow
I don't think demand will rise anytime soon but this is also the current rework of leveling crafters
ripe hound
I mean I don't think any sane person will decide it's a good idea to buy them all up and price gouge...
I mean it sounds way too risky
Is the set hard to make?
Or is it not that hard for end game crafters?
leaden ginkgo
How do I gear once I am 50? To ensure my iLvl is good for all the activities I will be getting?
slate arrow
the latter
leaden ginkgo
Tomestones?
slate arrow
it's just a grind to make due to slithersand
@leaden ginkgo buy ironworks gear from mor dhona or the tomestone vendors in the city state
ripe hound
kk, I'm thinking about if I should just buy all the mats and ask the crafter senpais in my FC to help me craft
Might be cheaper
But yeah, Zero you should buy Ironworks gear with Poetics
leaden ginkgo
Ok cool I heard that I need to upgrade it?
slate arrow
@ripe hound material cost will almost equal MB cost so I'd recommend making a spreadsheet to estimate costs between raw mats and buying it off the MB
ripe hound
Lv 50 MSQ probably won't require much advanced gear. Once you get to Lv 51, quests will also give you gear.
