but ironworks is better anyways
warped nest
You spent Allagan Tomestone of Poetics (check your currency window) with NPC to trade for Ironworks ger for your combat jobs
north lotus
forgot about currency cause my GC has junk and my seals have been capped all week lol
😦
sturdy mason
What's the general feel for Astro after the 5.3 changes?
remote lintel
fine
warped nest
Not terrible
sturdy mason
I remember AST getting memed for its mana issues
north lotus
youtube told me it was S tier now
warped nest
Being able to recover MP from card is great
warped nest
Plus many tiny tweaks with MP consumption
sturdy mason
I heard complaints about the changes to draw, something about 30 sec CD and it messes up openers? I always thought the AST opener was a meme too
remote lintel
no
faint flare
No draw complaints
remote lintel
instead of drawing 3 cards the skill draws 1 now
sturdy mason
So they simplified it, it seems
remote lintel
yes
faint flare
If you managed to draw them
ripe hound
But yeah, most other cards were a bit useless, so I understand why they reworked the system
sturdy mason
1 instead of 3 might make me want to play the job again. I always thought the card management was too much.
ripe hound
Yeah I wouldn't say old AST's Card management was hard. Once you get the hang of it, it's quite auto pilot
placid ridge
Is there a place outside my inventory I can store items? Kind of like the system they use in Destiny for reference?
ripe hound
But still, the "not-balance" cards were a bit... useless
There are retainers
Are you Free Trail player?
placid ridge
No
sturdy mason
What are the not-balance cards?
ripe hound
Then you will probably unlock retainers after you do more MSQ
sturdy mason
I thought there were 3 ranged, 3 melee
ripe hound
I mean the old AST
sturdy mason
Oh I haven't played that long
remote lintel
you still weave a lot
ripe hound
Balance, Bole for defense, Spear or oGCD acceleration, another GCD Acceleration, another MP, and another TP
Soemthing like that
But yeah, you still need to weave more than you don't weave
obsidian patio
ripe hound
Good news is that AST don't have much oGCD dps
obsidian patio
4.X AST
ripe hound
So mostly your weaving is just for card for rdps
warped nest
Spear was oGCD thingy in HW
ripe hound
kk
warped nest
In SB, it is a crit buff
ripe hound
But yeah, I can see why some people feel that a GCD buff mess up their rotation
Like although you can just fit in another Shield Lob or something, it still might mess up some jobs' rotation
tacit quest
Is there any in-game overlay for ACT or do I need to put the window on a second screen
remote lintel
act is automatically overlayed
frank wigeon
hey can you change the retainers gear glamour when not in ventures?
remote lintel
yes
frank wigeon
may you share how please?
remote lintel
same way you glamored it
frank wigeon
ohH! so after their ventures they continue to wear that gear?!
warped nest
There is no way to glamour what they are wearing currently
remote lintel
the gear doesn't go away
frank wigeon
cool!
warped nest
You need to glamour first, before you pass it onto them
frank wigeon
recommend any venture class? im stumbled with what to pick currently 😄
remote lintel

How do you blacklist someone while in Eureka? I'm not seeing the option anywhere. And doing it with the /blacklist command is giving me an Unable to process error
obsidian patio
Can’t
You’ll have to exit the duty and then blacklist them through the contacts menu
raw solstice
there's a basic overlay that comes with ACT sure, but most people don't use that. Common overlays people use are kagerou, horizoverlay, mopi mopi. All utilize and kinda branch off of the overlayplugin from NGLD from here: https://github.com/ngld/OverlayPlugin @tacit quest
can get that and then from there you can add an overlay from that plugin tab and customize to your choosing

vapid zenith
Do you keep The Road to 70 if you transfer servers?
remote lintel
you can't transfer with road to 70
manic flare
@faint flare do they get new gear when they reach level 60?
because i dont want to risk glamouring their stuff and then losing it
vapid zenith
@remote lintel MogStation says I'm trasnsferable, will it throw an error if I try?
manic flare
if they gear up again when they level to 60

They get gear every so often. But their glam stick around

marble dew
hey all so a friend and i are looking to play together. hes already started up on behemoth but i have an old toon on midgardsormr. if we want to play together do i need to be on behemoth or just primal in general?
cedar compass
you can world travel in same data centre
faint flare
Primal in general, as you can world visit there
cedar compass
and also can do duties together
jade quartz
Just primal is fine for almost all purposes
jade quartz
Yeah
marble dew
alright cool. was pretty bummed that i couldnt do behemoth since hes already kind of established there
jade quartz
Free companies are one of the few limitations of cross-server play
cedar compass

@obsidian patio what about joining a guild? or talking to peole? haven't seen a single person chat nor reply to a tell yet
robust crow
yes, 490 crystarium weapons cost 1000 allegory @ripe hound
ripe hound
kk thanks
obsidian patio
if you mean a player guild then ask around or look in your datacenter’s recruitment channel of this discord
Some people also advertise in party finder
ripe hound
The best weapon is 505 Raid stuff right?
robust crow
for most classes yes
it's the 505 weapon from e8 savage
a few classes prefer the 500 augmented crystarium
ripe hound
kk
marble dew
suggestion for servers in primal that are available? Exodus, Famfrit, Lamia?
left moth
unless there's a fc want to join specifically there isn't really a best primal server currently (no prefered ones)
marble dew
yea i saw they are all on crystal.. booo
left moth
famfrit has a lot of streamers for reasons (and top nep) so I'm slightly biased for my home server
marble dew
you're on famfrit then?
left moth
yeah
granite swan
Any idea what might make someone have a glow on their chest/neck area?

i was thinking famfrit or exodus so maybe ill go famfrit

Wasnt sure if it was glamour or the 1.0 tattoo or something else lol
patent citrus
what's the difference between the 60 days game time from SE store to the 30 days x 2 subscription from mogstation
I'm an entry account
left moth
se store sells game time cards and subscription gives some more options for how much to cough up (with mogstation being a little more derp payment wise)
there's no real difference other than preferences
time cards are always full subscription (8 character a server)

Question about abilties...
I am levelling as a White Mage Main, and I'm.. running out of ability space. I'd love to keep my bars down to 24 abilities max, focus on what 'needs' to be hotkeyeds, and leave the situation abilities for mouseclicking. However abilities being locked out by level, I can't just remove Cure for Cure II, cause I may be in a dungeon that means I won't have Cure II at all.
Are there any abilities I can generally ignore, and what is a good way to consolidate down so I keep my interface relatively simple. I understand that macros in this game are kind of.. not worth it.
robust crow
snickerdoodle
you're gonna need more than 24 buttons lol
white mage does not have many "ignorable" abilities
repose, that water bind...
those 2 can pretty much be taken off your bar
you can remove cure 1 as well if you are done leveling
it's called fluid aura
fluid aura, repose, cure 1 (if you will never do a low level dungeon as WHM ever again), that's probably it
tulip depot
Done already, I noticed I never used them. I also moved surecast to my 'clicky' bar since I rarely used it at all
robust crow
you need surecast
if you ever plan on doing high level raids
surecast is very important
i would put it somewhere very reachable
outside of savage and ultimates....i guess you won't need surecast
little swift
repose and fluid aura are things you can safely remove because for teh most party they don't see use at all
faint flare
Well outside of the healer role quests, repose isn't used
tulip depot
And I'm still levelling, just hit 58
Is there a way to toggle between pages on my primary action bar? Like press a hotkey and go to page, 1, another for page 2, etc?
manic flare
what do you guys recommend for beginner, dancer or bard?
faint flare
Glowy button go brrr
manic flare
ok doctor
fresh lodge
Its probably the easiest job overall
manic flare
i trust your doctorly knowledge
patent citrus
bard, cause you can play music 
fresh lodge
I do have a PhD after all
faint flare
manic flare
@patent citrus do u get a guitar as a weapon like Nikki in Chrono Cross? (does anyone get my reference)?
little swift
Is there a way to toggle between pages on my primary action bar? Like press a hotkey and go to page, 1, another for page 2, etc?
@tulip depot usingshift+ [number]will by default scroll your first hotbar
so for example shift+3 will shift to hotbar 3
patent citrus
im not sure, i've only received bow/harp till now
robust crow
dancer and red mage are commonly considered the easiest two DPS classes
manic flare
what kind of weapons do bards get?
robust crow
bows
robust crow
some of their bows double as harps
manic flare
so bards are upgrades from archer
manic flare
it would be cool if the bard could pull out a double string bass as a weapon
tulip depot
so for example shift+3 will shift to hotbar 3
@little swift Yes! Then I can just move certain abilities to those pages and then I have 48 buttons instead of 24.
manic flare
or a grand piano
robust crow
i'm gonna tell you this now snickerdoodle
little swift
i'd suggest you not do that and just make those hotbars visible
little swift
and set keybinds for those
robust crow
put that somewhere easy for sure
manic flare
well im scared to be healer class
spare plinth
for scholar, before eos and selene did the same thing, if there are two scholars in an 8 man party, would one have eos and the other have selene
patent citrus
well, there's a hall of novice and fate to practice your rotation o_o
little swift
not really
patent citrus
no need to be scared
manic flare
my primary class is arcanist/summoner
little swift
you could force eos to manually embrace
manic flare
and i felt it was already kind of hard
ripe hound
Yeah healer is easy (?)
little swift
back then, so you would run double eos as inefficient duplicates were
spare plinth
i imagine people will understand if you're new to healing or tanking
manic flare
@ripe hound it's not. i've been in dungeons with not so good healers, and it's painful
spare plinth
i hear ffxiv players are friendly
manic flare
i feel like i would be one of those healers
and ppl would yell at me
for not noticing health
cedar compass
are all raid stories not-serious?
omega seems like a joke, i mean its not bad
but its not serious at all
little swift
they're canon in the scheme of the msq
patent citrus
i think the stories are nice 🤔
manic flare
being healer is too stressful
faint flare
Coils, alex, eden
ripe hound
Somewhat, if you mean normal raids there are intended to be serious
faint flare
Omega is basically a tournament arc
ripe hound
But all the Savage and Extreme stories are basically just "here is a reason you need to fight something you will probably fail"
spare plinth
do people still ask healer to adjust or is that a larryzaur thing
patent citrus
i never felt any seriousness from any of the stories so far lol
faint flare
Its a meme
ripe hound
Mostly just a meme
patent citrus
what do you think is a serious story?
manic flare
in dungeons, i feel like people yell at the tank the most, then the healer
dps people almost never get yelled at
faint flare
Nah dps people get yelled at for being trash
ripe hound
But yeah, DPS have DPS privileges.
little swift
thats definitely untrue, everyone gets yelled at if they're bad
cedar compass
i dont really see anyone get yelled at
patent citrus
same here
spare plinth
are you more likely to get yelled at in harder mode trials, like extreme?
cedar compass
i only get kinda annoyed when the tank does super slow pulls
ripe hound
Which is the part where you can be assured that you can just die and roll loot
tulip depot
i'd suggest you not do that and just make those hotbars visible
@little swift
Bleh.. that's a lot of real estate to eat up..
stone 1/2/3/4/glare is gonna be your most casted spell
@robust crow Done and done since level 1.
cedar compass
and also cosntantly loses aggro
spare plinth
because you have to plan to defeat the boss?
cedar compass
i started as healer
manic flare
@cedar compass it's rare,but i feel like tank characters usually take the heat
granite swan
You dont see the people in RL screaming bloody murder at their monitor you mean :p
cedar compass
but switched to tank
surreal reef
I havent played in many years, but i remember tanking being alot of pressure
faint flare
Tanking is the easiest role these days
patent citrus
never seen anyone got yelled at, lol
cedar compass
all the content ive done so far is a faceroll
jade quartz
Dps are less likely to be noticed in general by players who aren’t as invested/experienced
tulip plover
Where can i get bohemians coat
granite swan
like 99% of GNBs ...
patent citrus
to be honest if i see someone obnoxious, i just report and blacklist
manic flare
i am so scared to play a tank class
cedar compass
i dont know how MMO players can be so bad at following super basic instructions
spare plinth
@manic flare i just started playing tank and did tam tam
ripe hound
But yeah, I'm a AST main, but I do feel that healers might be the hardest in end game stuff...?
No idea though
little swift
@tulip depot this isn't something you can comfortably work around. having more hotbars with keys binded will make it easier to access everything. you can always hide the hotbars if you know what buttons do what
surreal reef
Play what you want. My first character was a warrior and i was trash for a while
spare plinth
the healer always make sure you're at full hp
jade quartz
But experienced players who know their stuff and are running ACT in expert roulette are totally judging you
spare plinth
sometimes i was a white mage and a tank dies before i can heal fast enough and the problem seems to be that the tank pulled too many mobs
little swift
there are a lot of things you can use visually to judge people as well
like ifrit only summoners
ripe hound
But yeah, I have no idea how to tell if a DPS is doing good or bad unless I'm running ACT
granite swan
I dont need ACT to judge DPS when i can see #s above the mob head :p
manic flare
the problem is
when u are the tank
u are expected to lead
so, u are kind of expected to know the dungeon....
whereas i tend to be clueless as to where im going in dungeons
faint flare
Or garuda only summoners suppresses ptsd
cedar compass
the dungeons are literally a straight line
jade quartz
Or ... not AoEing at all
cedar compass
after ARR
ripe hound
But yeah, I did some Eden Normal to practice tanking
cedar compass
theres no way to get lost
ripe hound
I realized the best way to overcome this fear is to set yourself as auto run when others are watching cutscenes
manic flare
@cedar compass wanderer's palace and sunken temple have some dungeon mechanics
that requires u to know
faint flare
He said after arr
ripe hound
And the fight just begins immedietly!
spare plinth
i think the sunken temple is optional
faint flare
No its for story
ripe hound
But yeah, a big part of tanking is pretending you know everything
ripe hound
You don't need to actually know everything, you just need to pretend you know it
jade quartz
Tanking is generally a very easy role in execution
faint flare
Tank is just put stance on > run forward > aoe > defensive cooldowns
spare plinth
dont war have a healing ability?
faint flare
Several
ripe hound
I still haven't tried doing any hard content with Tanks yet
spare plinth
that's what i did
tulip depot
@tulip depot this isn't something you can comfortably work around. having more hotbars with keys binded will make it easier to access everything. you can always hide the hotbars if you know what buttons do what
@little swift
Seems like. Thanks for the help though! I'll see if I can cludge together a solution that lets me see things 🙂
spare plinth
im a marauder tho
cedar compass
i find BRD more challenging than DRK
manic flare
sometimes i still get attacked by mobs
even though the tank is in front of me, and engaging enemies
does anyone know why
faint flare
Nascent flash, equilibrium, thrill of battle
ripe hound
But yeah, Tanking in casual content is just "you DPS but you have to dps everything"
manic flare
shouldn't mobs be going for the tank
faint flare
Because you generated aggro and the tank hasn't hit them yet
jade quartz
Try tanking some earlier ex trials like Innocence
cedar compass
i always cringe when i Barrage already having straight shot procced
granite swan
@tulip depot Dont forget you can shrink some hotbars and make others bigger
cedar compass
😦
ripe hound
I only know how to play wolex so I'm gonna practice with wolex lol
jade quartz
I wouldn’t recommend trying Shiva Unreal though because it’s basically all tank mechanics
rugged flicker
Okay I'm confused... So you can only use precision and powerful hooksets while in the middle of fishing but once you do use it, it cancels your current cast.
ripe hound
I'm gonna just try to join a learning party and tank it
rugged flicker
So how the fuck am I supposed to use it then?
ripe hound
Yeah, wolex don't have a lot of tank stuff right?
surreal reef
Im deciding between AST and SMN what do you guys think?
ripe hound
Just tank swap and silence add
faint flare
You use hookset instead of hooks
jade quartz
@rugged flicker they’re catch actions, they’re not “canceling” anything
little swift
Okay I'm confused... So you can only use precision and powerful hooksets while in the middle of fishing but once you do use it, it cancels your current cast.
@rugged flicker they take the place of your regular catch action.
granite swan
one is a healer the other is a dps ... so whichever role you wanna do more?
jade quartz
You use them instead of regular catch
manic flare
anyways, which class is most fun to play out of the three ? (red mage v dancer v bard)?
jade quartz
When you’re under the effects of Patience/Patience II
rugged flicker
Ah
ripe hound
I personally like Bard, and haven't played Dancer
faint flare
I like bard more but dancer is nice to turn off your brain
granite swan
i like RDM followed by DNC, not touched bard
jade quartz
Subjective, they’re all pretty widely enjoyed jobs
faint flare
Primarily caster with a melee combo
jade quartz
It’s not
faint flare
Their rotation cycle is straightforward
jade quartz
You just do a melee combo when your gauge is full
ripe hound
Like Bard is easy,
You just press the glowing keys,
Except every key glow at once together randomly,
And if you press the wrong key in the wrong order your DPS goes down,
And boss enrage,
And you DIE!
faint flare
!faq 50rdm
zinc orbitBOT
faint flare
Like this
patent citrus
bard was my first class, very nice haha
ripe hound
But yeah I'm not good with RDM
ripe hound
Like when I picked up RDM, I though it would be "A versatile mage that can attack from range and melee"
patent citrus
didn't even know the concept of weaving when i started, lol
ripe hound
But in practice RDM is "You have to cast stuff with cast bars, and then you also have to go to melee range when your combo said so"
And if you can't melee your DPS go die
manic flare
what isweaving ? @patent citrus
ripe hound
If you can't cast your DPS also go die
And your team is angry why you are not rezzing them
patent citrus
well, there are some skills that are still available even after you use your gcd skill
little swift
!faq weaving
zinc orbitBOT
patent citrus
and you use that skill when you still have gcd
that's weaving
I didn't know that I've been doing weaving without understanding the terms haha
manic flare
@patent citrus so like for summoner, using ruin I while waiting for fester and painflare?
ripe hound
But yeah, my biggest problem with RDM is just that it dosen't really feel versitle...
manic flare
is that weaving?
ripe hound
You can't cast you fail, you can't melee you also fail
manic flare
spamming ruin as summoner while u wait for the EGI assaults?
patent citrus
i haven't tried summoner yet, but that seems correct
wait, doesn't ruin has cast time?
faint flare
Weaving in example of Summoner
little swift
ruin2/4 does not have a cast time
little swift
neither does egi assaults, besides the delay for commanding your egi to slap
faint flare
!faq smnweaving
zinc orbitBOT
patent citrus
yeah but he said ruin lol
faint flare
Hell yeah
See here
Smn weaving examples
In short: weaving is using a Instant cast spell then using 1-2 off global abilities inbetween it
manic flare
@faint flare i do this:
miasma, bio, EGI assaults, energy drain, fester, fester --> spam ruin until EGI assault or energy drain reopens
ripe hound
Does playing SCH teach me how to play SMN?
manic flare
is that weaving?
faint flare
Hell no
manic flare
oh
ripe hound
lol
faint flare
Going Bio > fester
Is a weave
As bio is instant
And fester is a off global
So you slot it inbetween the GCD
manic flare
so what order should i do things?
ripe hound
How does BLM weave?
manic flare
keep in mind, i only finished the class quests in heavensward
faint flare
however going Ruin > fester is a clip, as you delay the gxd
manic flare
i dont have access to bahamut
little swift
scholar and summoner play very differently
faint flare
Akhmorning has all the summoner stuff
robust crow
black mage mainly weaves through their instant cast procs
faint flare
Including low level opener and rotations
robust crow
but black mage does not weave as often as other classes
since they'd rather just spam fire 4 as much as they can
they even hardclip an ogcd in their opener
faint flare
Blm has instant casts, procs and fast F3/B3s to weave
ripe hound
kk
faint flare
Its one of the more complex jobs
manic flare
for some reason i thought summoner would be like conjuration in skyrim where u can summon an army of minions
patent citrus
why do you need to change class when you already used to it o_o
clever willow
There's no way of dumping phantasmagoria before you finish ShB, is there?
faint flare
Nope
clever willow

faint flare
Vendors are locked until you do
patent citrus
my phantasmagoria is already 1.3k and i just staretd shb
it will take me another month probably to finish shb
clever willow
1.7k and about halfway through myself
would be funny if i capped allegory before finishing ShB

You barely get any allegory prior to finishing

what gear does it give

Roulettes only give a tiny amount

Thank you kupo bot
patent citrus
yeah, cause noone moderate those kind of people lol
faint flare
You can clear all content with every job
leaden ginkgo
I guess samurai, darknight, and warrior is what I'm interested in
faint flare
Can only start as warrior
patent citrus
ah ok, then start on warrior
faint flare
Out of the 3
patent citrus
easy choice haha
leaden ginkgo
warrior it is
robust crow
no one cares what class you play
leaden ginkgo
yeet
robust crow
they're all viable
faint flare
And warrior is a tank
robust crow
monk and bard are currently the least popular two classes though
silent minnow
Not a fan of samurai anymore
patent citrus
as long as you enjoy their animation and how it looks
silent minnow
If you want a not think at all play drk
leaden ginkgo
@robust crow according to the ffxiv census website, dancer and gunbreaker are the least played classes along with blue mage
Imma try to familiarize myself with the game with this free trial
faint flare
Well they're new jobs
robust crow
@leaden ginkgo my data is based off savage parses
leaden ginkgo
hopefully i'll save up enough money for subscription
robust crow
so in content that might actually care a little bit about class comp
silent minnow
@faint flare bruh not anymore
faint flare
Plus blue mage isn't a job
robust crow
monk and bard are the two least popular
faint flare
New-er
leaden ginkgo
so what's blue mage?
faint flare
Side content
robust crow
blue mage is an elaborate minigame
leaden ginkgo
lul
fair blaze
So, do you guys know how you do the little animation on red mage where you throw your sword up and catch it?
faint flare
For doing broken shit
silent minnow
@leaden ginkgo you copy monsters abilities
robust crow
faint flare
No its /vpose
robust crow
this is current data
monk and bard are the two least popular
white mage and paladin are the most
based on total number of parses submitted
silent minnow
Pld really?
robust crow
for savage content
yeah paladin has the best invuln
a lot of people are comfy on paladin for that reason
silent minnow
True
faint flare
And best uptime with requesticat
robust crow
among other factors
silent minnow
But I think drk has the best mitigation
faint flare
Only cause TBN carries the job
robust crow
among tanks, DRK is the 2nd most popular
silent minnow
@faint flare yeeeeeep

Hi guys, I'm a newbie and trying to install? I bought the game but not it wants a reg code...which it never gave me?
zinc orbitBOT
silent minnow
We get it shat up
patent citrus
how did you buy the game?
robust crow
indeed
it's why i personally like to use parse data
since for 99% of the rest of the game, it doesn't matter what you play
and it only matters a tiny tiny bit in savage or ultimate
silver scroll
@patent citrus Off the Square Enix store?
little swift
and it only matters a tiny tiny bit in savage or ultimate
@robust crow it really doesn't
leaden ginkgo
it doesn't matter at all
robust crow
it does in that some people might want nin or DRG to boost their own damage
or not wanting to double stack classes
little swift
even in the world first of TEA, they ran "non-meta"
robust crow
yes, I know their damage doesn't count for parses
some people like to see 20k adps though 
silver scroll
I feel a bit cheated...the offical store took my money but never gave me a code
leaden ginkgo
you said it yourself, parses, which means people actually hitting buttons, that's what actually matters
robust crow
but if your goal is to clear, it doesn't matter
little swift
@silver scroll you should have received an email in regards to purchasing, which will have a link that redirects you to obtaining your game code.
you enter that code into your mogstation account
silver scroll
OH
robust crow
no reasons, the "tiny tiny bit" i'm talking about is for people who are speedrunning or going for world records
lol
silver scroll
...I need to go to some place called...mogstation....
little swift
!faq mogstation
zinc orbitBOT
robust crow
which is a very very small select number of players
patent citrus
yeah, the code should appear under order in your SE account
leaden ginkgo
which is a very very small select number of players
@robust crow yeah, the players that upload their parses
silver scroll
is finding the code now Well I got it for PC
robust crow
no, i'm specifically talking about people who are handcrafting comps to set boss defeat records lol
lots of people parse
silver scroll
You guys really ARE nice no one called me stupid 🙂
So does the base game come with everything except the most recent expansion?
little swift
comes with a realm reborn and heavensward
silver scroll
Okay so it comes with a lot of content then
little swift
no stormblood or shadowbringers
its basically the trial with social function access
patent citrus
oh, you didn't buy the complete edition?
silver scroll
I'm assuming buying those will be easy though
little swift
except you also have to pay for a sub afterwards
silver scroll
I haven't played an MMO for a long time so I wasn't sure if I would stick with it long enough to get to the more recent expansions
patent citrus
yeah take it easy, lol
remote lintel
the free trial includes the base game and first expansion
silver scroll
But 20 bucks for 30 days and a lot of it seemed good
little swift
use the trial first then
you can register your license afterwards if you want to stay with the game
trial has no time limit
silver scroll
Really? Nifty
faint flare
And access to the same content
silver scroll
I'm assuming the game will tell me when to advance I need to updgrade to pay
faint flare
Just with primarily social limitations
patent citrus
yeah
little swift
you just lack social functions like the retainers/marketboard/joining player guilds
remote lintel
!faq freetrial
zinc orbitBOT
faint flare
You'll get XP locked
remote lintel
you can read the limitations here
granite swan
wait what is this sorcery, why does the final trust member start at 80, but i have to slog through leveling the others up? >.>
little swift
because you receive the last trust member at the end of the expac storyline
robust crow
the final trust member is also apparently really good
little swift
verses getting your first trusts during the story
robust crow
according to that reddit post talking about how good that member's AI is
mental garnet
if i play decently efficiently, how long should it take me to go from start to finish on a zeta weapon? as a level 80 class
patent citrus
if i just unlocked ahm raeng, how long will it take me to be able to use my phantasmgoria?
little swift
the final trust member is also apparently really good
@robust crow omni-class
robust crow
if you braindead grind out the worst step for the zeta weapon
it will probably take you 10 hours
(nonstop)
jade quartz
@patent citrus you're at the beginning of the expanision. You can use phantasmagoria at the end.
mental garnet
i'm not mega insane but i can do 10 hour grinds yeah
robust crow
including all the other steps, maybe 2 weeks
patent citrus
ah okay
mental garnet
frick
robust crow
that's just my guess
robust crow
the worst step for zeta weapon is the 9 books
that's a 10 hour grind assuming you pay full attention the whole time
mental garnet
oh noe
robust crow
many people choose to do 1 book a day or something
mental garnet
i might do half gas on this one
i did start to finish lux weapon today
but zeta sounds way more tedious
polar palm
Someone told me to "stack" as SCH while fighting Nidhogg. Anyone know what that means?
robust crow
the heavensward (anima/lux) weapons are generally considered the easiest
mental garnet
mmk
little swift
Someone told me to "stack" as SCH while fighting Nidhogg. Anyone know what that means?
@polar palm stand with your party members
robust crow
since you can stockpile the 12kish poetics over time
patent citrus
Is it the dungeon where you need to stack around estinien? 🤔
polar palm
Thank you @little swift
mental garnet
nah probably just the whatever morn stack marker in nidhogg normal
little swift
i'm assuming they're referring to the akh morn stack in nidhogg
polar palm
Yeah thats what killed me
little swift
basically you have a marker
little swift
giant yellow circle with arrows pointing inwards
this suggests everyone shoudl go in here
because the damage is split between everyone inside it at the time
akh morn in particular is multiple hits you need to stay together
polar palm
Ohh.. I though it was telling me I was targeted for the Buster.. I ran to the corner like a pissbaby
polar palm
Now I see. Thanks for the help my friends
robust crow
it's a common mechanic from now on
little swift
stack markers weren't standardized until mid-heavensward
polar palm
Yeah, I don't remember seeing it before
patent citrus
yeah, if you see the arrow going inwards just get close to the guy targeted haha
if it's outwards stay away haha
jade quartz
Means everyone get in the circle
jade quartz
https://imgur.com/a/c9oxF1d you may be interested in this guide to common visual markers
granite swan
So after finishing the story as a Lala, i gotta say ... Au Ra need to be way more expressive. going from Au Ra to Lala was one extreme to the other on expressiveness
jade quartz
this one @robust crow
robust crow
yeah
that one
that also means stack
so just because one marker means stack doesn't mean another marker can't be stack
that's a mistake i've seen some people make
little swift
in some cases of that marker, the order in which players stand in matters as well
but it hits everyone in line
robust crow
yeah, in those cases, typically the first player in the line takes the most damage
so sometimes you'll see tanks be the first in the line
brave ravine
one big thing that trips up people coming from wow is that boss animations do not sync with their ability markers/telegraphs
if no telegraph, the area is safe even if you see the boss slam his giant sword on the ground where you're standing multiple times
patent citrus
really? 🤔
tranquil valve
Didn't Huton used to increase movement speed as well? Or was that a misconception I had long ago?
patent citrus
i've seen a couple of time sometimes the boss cast skills that doesn't have telegraph
robust crow
that's common also
especially if you go to the EX/savage version of a fight
boss mechanics end up not being telegraphed and you just have to know what to do
usually the same skill in normal mode is a hint
zinc orbitBOT
little swift
3rd link
mental garnet
it's pretty nice tho
little swift
Didn't Huton used to increase movement speed as well? Or was that a misconception I had long ago?
@tranquil valve misconception
ninjas have a trait that gives them increased movement speed
tranquil valve
Yeah, I believe I was conflating Huton with the trait you get.

vital ruin
Was ultros ever a preferred world
Cos you can't create a character on a congested world which ultros is rn
And I did create a character is ultros
So is there a possibility that ultros might have been a preferred world then
That would explain why I cant transfer data center
jade quartz
Ultros has been preferred in the past.
robust crow
the preferred worlds cycle around every major patch or so
vital ruin
When exactly
jade quartz
I don't recall
vital ruin
Also how do I know if I'm under a 90 days restriction
jade quartz
If you have Road to 70
jade quartz
I'm not sure about that
I know people in Malaysia and possibly other SEA countries sometimes have troubles with payment
Ensure you're not trying to transfer to another congested server btw
vital ruin
I can't even transfer
I mailed support several times. They're not responding. They just gave me tickets
I've only a week left for subscription and then I can't play anymore 
I'm really regretting buying this game
jade quartz
Are you certain you don't have Road to 70? It won't be visible if you're currently on a class that's level 70 or over
vital ruin
I don't have any class at 70
My summoner is 69 almost at 70
And it takes sometime for me to level up
I'm still not sure how the buff icon looks like
granite swan
Road To 70 Icon
silent minnow
Alright titania time anything I should be worried about?
tranquil valve
For Normal? Nothing that will one shot a party, I believe.
If you dislike going in blind, there are plenty of video guides on YouTube.
vocal shell
@vital ruin did you make your character on a preferred server
silent minnow
I like going in blind for the most part but I dont wanna look like a complete idiot
tranquil valve
Then all I'll say is, stand in the puddles.
robust crow
uhh quick tips on titania normal
if you're a tank
face her away from the raid
uhh mustardseed first for adds?
vocal shell
East to West
analog gate
tanks take peaseblossom and puck, kill mustardseed first
silent minnow
I'll be tanking so ill keep that in mind
robust crow
divination rune is the skill that you need to face away
vital ruin
I don't have road to 70 buff I'm only having FC buffs
robust crow
iirc
vital ruin
Nope@vocal shell
robust crow
but just generally just face her away anyway
sage plaza
mustard does not need to be aggro'd
leaden ginkgo
hey what level do you get gallant chest piece at?
vital ruin
But I'm not sure if ultros was a preferred world then I can't tell
leaden ginkgo
I didn't get it in the lvl 45 mission is this normal?
analog gate
yes, you'll get it at the lv 50 quest
silent minnow
Thx btw

Where do I check all the buffs

Can I still play without the sub
vital ruin
No
granite swan
@vital ruin Just curious, but what are all your payment options when you goto pay for something?
like on the website
vital ruin
I contacted the bank 3 times said it's okay
I even bought other stuff with the card recently
Cards
granite swan
Is paypal not an option for it?
remote lintel
those errors are because your transaction is being declined
you also have to wait a minimum of 24 hours before trying the payment again
vital ruin
I need to log out to show you wait
I'm using credit card
I waited 24 hours and tried
Doesn't work
elder locust
This might be a dumb question, but does anyone know what happened to the physical book "Final Fantasy XIV chronicles of light" on Squares website? Like are they just dont printing it? I was looking to pick it up and its dissappeared.
vital ruin
Ugh I need to leave FC and stop selling again
It just shows some paying methods and other cards
And I don't think Incan pay other than via credit card
Also it says if you're using either pre paid debit or credit
Then how the fuck am I supposed to pay
With my imagination? Like wtf
Why is this so complicated
Mogstation shouldn't exist
granite swan
Theres gotta be a phone # you can call for JP support or something
vital ruin
I can't find any
I just want a refund atm
I could've bought three games with the money I spent on this shit
granite swan
@vital ruin Just curious but how come you cant use the 858 number to call them?
west spruce
can't you order the book from amazon instead
vital ruin
858?
granite swan
Ya
vital ruin
What's that
vital ruin
Is 858 the country code
vital ruin
Which country
vital ruin
Credit card
Error 401 and 601
If I call them I'll lose hundreds of bucks per second
west spruce
normal credit card? hmm
west spruce
weird

what in the world is WhatsApp
vital ruin
An app
west spruce
west version of line basically
vital ruin
For communicating
ripe hound
To be honest I still don't know what is WhatsApp
But I'm fairly certain SE don't have it
vital ruin
For example in Dubai you're not allowed to use stuff like Facebook snap and other form of media or communication app
WhatsApp is an exception
It's a communication app
I c
Idek what to do now
ripe hound
Yeah as former Chinese, we mostly use Wechat
west spruce
did you contact your bank?
polar hound
you can try to make a trial account and send a ticket in to GMs if you have no other option
granite swan
I know its annoying, but what was the problem with trying to use the support forms?
vital ruin
I mailed them they gave me a ticket and said they'd contact me
They didn't
I mailed them 4 more times
Same shit
granite swan
Doesnt the form let you choose live chat or phone too?
vital ruin
Nope
tribal agate
how can I tell if things have sold on the marketboard

Sell history

west spruce
well then why are you still here
granite swan
@vital ruin https://support.na.square-enix.com/main.php?la=1&id=5382 filling out that form should give you Email / Chat / Phone support options, or atleast it did for me
ripe hound
Nope but if you tells us where you heard it we can tell you what bgm it is
vital ruin
Because the game didn't fucking explain that choosing a proper Dara center is a crucial step and will effect me for the days to come
leaden ginkgo
Hahaha it's pretty self explanatory
ripe hound
For example La Hee is called Civilization
vital ruin
It's not
leaden ginkgo
Honestly it sounds like you messed up on your end and are just salty af and blaming the game
subtle plank
Akira coming through! 1 sec
vital ruin
Not a lot of game has this data center issue

didnt they have litteral jp eu na on each data center

I know that

Good attitude bro

Thanks

Duergar Mountains, its the piano song that plays @ripe hound

I thought I could choose one I'd have less issues communicating with

At least I can pick the right data centre

Like I sure as hell wasn't gonna join japanese
That's because you know shit about this game I don't
