i had to pull one pack at a time for some reason
well I was curious if there was a story related if i use NPC, i wasn't wrong lol
holminster is notoriously difficult to heal
if collectables are static now, what was agreed to be the most 'efficient' item to spam for yellow craft scrip
o
I think the alley where you have to fight white bulls was pretty rough
Jus do the highest collectible you can
but there's eight different craftable items with the same scrip
because its all static now
i think people said the Carpenter item was the best back when there were starred items
Then whatever is cheaper to make
i heard alchemist is the most expensive
Only if yoy spend money to buy the gear and mats
that was my implication when i asked what was the most efficient. though as an omni, cheapest would be least amount of crap to gather
but never experienced it myself
ren, it all has to do with your server
but i'm in a crafter server lol
its hard to give a concrete answer to that
all crafting ingredients are hella expensive
tonberry?
yeah, if you checked our ishgardian progress you'll know
do Levequests for cook class require you to cook things? Other jobs can have requested items delivered from vendor, lol
All leves ask you to make stuff...however you can just buy the item from market board or have others make it for you
Hey I just started yesterday as a marauder and have done my lvl 10 guild quest, when can I change to a lancer? I'm lvl 19 rn
lancer should be in gridania
Level 15 MSQ
marauder is in limsa
I got to the lancer guild but he just sells weapons, do I have to get there in story or
doesnt have
wuh thats the only guy I see there lol
that's not the Lancers' Guild
I know you can play with others cross world but can you play cross server? like Aether with Crystal
Aight so what's the terminology of worlds/servers and stuff
Worlds = Servers
Worlds are like tonberry, phoenix etc
Data centres are the cluster of worlds/servers, like Aether, primal etc
aight, I moved out of crystal but all my friends are still on crystal so I was asking
Hi! What mount is this?
Thanks!! Hard fight? Compared to savage?
EX is easier than savage
Extremes are on average easier than savage
you also have to roll for it
Thanks guys! I’m farming dogs now, going for that one after
How do i get to Tonu Valu for the dungeon unlock quest for Reap What You Sow?
Vanu*
its for Neverreap
You should have been there already and should have attune...you need flying
trying to get there
Fly
cant
Then unlock it
ok ty
Recommend always unlocking flight during MSQ
Aether currents are mostly near the main MSQ path
not sure why i didnt, im a returning player so i forget why i dont have it
into sb last time i played tho
tyvm
Do you get one free Fantasia?
after beating ARR
50
ARR is 1 - 50
ohh
oh that's cool
except name
how do i macro BLU skills? if i want to click Eruption and have it cast on whoever im targeting whats the macro?
nvm I got it, for those wondering or for future reference it was /blueaction Eruption <t>
I wonder if I asked it already but you know how each expansion leads up to the next one with the final patch? (Arr fleeing to Ishgard, hw going to baelsar’s wall, stormblood scions fall in coma) does shadowbringers final story have a “lead up” to 6.0 expansion?
It will in the coming story patches
We finished the Shadowbringers arc
So next story patches is set up for next expansion
In 5.4 and 5.5
I imagine hints for 6.0 classes is based on what yoshi p is wearing at conventions
Already did MSQ for HS and dont know where my Aether Compass is so I went to talk to Gibrillont like google told me and nothing.
any ideas?
did an /isearch
Not in your key items?
I heard in stormblood he wore a Batman and scarlet witch shirt to hint samurai and red mage

Is there a way to know which emotes can be performed while sitting?
as a SAM do I want fending or slaying?
slaying
fending is for tanks
what are the alliance lists on my HUD? aren't my allies going to show up on my party list? also, when looking at my status info sections what is the difference between enhancements, enfeeblements, and other?
I collected all the aether currents in this area and my compass wont give me coords anymore so how do I unlock flying in this area?
@tired timber alliance are other 8 man parties
they show up in 24 man raids
theyre not your party
i see
enhancements are buffs, enfeeblements are debuffs
And other is stuff like free company buffs, food and mount
other is just stuff like food buffs
The other misc shit
like XP bonuses and stuff?
yes
thanks
can u sort of "solo" eureka islands
without a fix party
just with random people that is on the island
If i dye an item, will it result in the item being spiritbonded, or is it just defeating an enemy?
Dyeing doesn't bind it
It binds when you use it for glamour or use it for combat/crafting/gathering
@sturdy mason the emotes menu shows what poses/stance emotes can display at the bottom
Looks like a bunch of icons in a row
are all gears from job quests and msq quests craft-able? not counting the pieces from coffers
The white gear is all crafted stuff, yes
Job quest gears aren't craftable btw
whats the best upgrade after yellow script 70 crafting gear sets?
So those that arent craftable, i have to go to calamity salvager to get if i lose them?
Lv50 and 70 job gear is via calamity salvager, lv60 via centurio seals in ishgard
Lv80 just gotten back from Grendolt in the final zone of Shadowbringers
Where would be the best place to go to look for parties to do old high-end content like trials, but synced, not unsynced
There's some old sync discords in #resources, otherwise party finder and clearly advertise it as synced
YMMV greatly
in ff14, the bottom portion of my character's eyes are highlighted due to the lighting; any fix to this?
none for crystal 😔
so will patch 5.4 introduce a new storyline that'll lead to 6.0?
yes

Hello, does crafting higher quality number of beast tribe quests affect the reward or something? Or just ham on process?
if it doesn't ask for HQ then you don't need to
I see, thanks!
hey everyone . im in EU region . is it difficult to find playerrs at this hour? (im healer)
im way past average wait time . (both roullets and msq dungeons) .
4am server time
@remote lintel hey thx for replying.
so should i bother waiting ? or just play something else ?
up to you
any hope 😦 ?
is anyone experiencing server issues?
How do I get lv900 gears?
on crystal
@frail fulcrum Lv 900? You wait about 3-4 more xpacs? :p
@manic flare oh, in Light data center I'm experiencing some issues
or did you mean something else?
thats probly just someone advertising crap or something
probly selling loot runs or something so they put it that high so no one can randomly join
Makes sense
is there a way to know a music roll you have had without opening the menu or try to use it?
My PLD is 74 and my CD feels miserable. There's a significant wait time between the cast time of my weaponskills and my GCD ending. Should I get skill speed on my gear when I'm 80?
Recast time on Fast Blade is 2.38, I guess GCD is a flat 2.5?
oh maybe the issue is that I have skill speed when I shouldn't
2.38 is fast
The recommended speed in Balance is 2.4
I do but I don't always have something to weave every time I use a weapon skill
If you genuinely have no ability to press
You mean mitigation? I use it when boss is about to TB me
you should be cycling them
You should be using one or another
i hope you dont mean "i press every defensive when a TB is about to hit"
You being more bulky overall = healer need to heal less = more DPS from healer
No no
I mean I will use 1 of my available ones (Rampart, Sentinel, etc) when a TB is coming
and the rest?
Well I keep them around for the next one
use them
not cycling your defensives during trash pulls is a nightmare to heal
Trash pulls is different, I keep them on CD during that. I'm only talking boss fights
still use them
If I keep them on CD during a boss fight, what will I use for a TB?
tank busters arent so common that youll have absolutely nothing
unless youre pressing everything
It's not so much how often, it's the inconvenient timing. How do I know each TB will line up to Sentinel coming off CD for example?
I don't know how to play this job apparently
Which is fine I'm still new
By design, you will always have something available to you
hallowed ground isnt an "emergency" button
So you're just talking about Sentinel and Rampart right? Or are you also saying Sheltron should be burned as soon as I get 50?
all your defensives
in general, people expect tanks to always have some sort of defensive running; but also they need to have a defensive ready for a TB
the art is making it happen
I am saying that it is very hard to not have something available
When you need one for tank buster
So there is not need to save all your tools
For the rare occurrence of a TB
Just to make sure I am understanding, the single hit, cast bar attacks from bosses are all generally called TB right? Or are we talking Savage raid 1 hit kill if you don't invuln type ones? In dungeons it's usually the first attack a boss does
Do those not need a dedicated CD?
tank busters are special attacks that hurt more than usual
they won't 1 hit kill you in normal mode
shletron, rampart, reprisal, sentinel, arms length, hallowed ground etc. are all stuff you should be cycling
you have plenty of defensives
Yeah I know they don't, I was more or less trying to understand if I should have a CD up for that when it hits me
Yes, you should have some defensive for TB
90% of the time you will
What we are saying is, it is very hard to get caught with your pants down when a TB is coming
If you just cycle your defensive cooldown around
in a dungeon run, you'll have the time to use two hallowed grounds
You're saying that just by keeping all of these on CD, that the probability of a mitigation being up by the time I get hit by those is high, and there is no need to watch for when the boss does that specifically
yes
Yup
if anything you could passage of arms or some shit i guess
Or keep a Sheltron handy
ok that's a lot simpler than watching for boss attacks
The defensives I keep on CD are Rampart, Sentinel, Reprisal, Divine Veil. Sheltron too? And even Hallowed Ground? The invuln I like to save for crazy trash mobs personally.
At higher level, you can adjust your defensive cooldown to get more value out of them
For example, Reprisal is good for raid wide damage
I listed them to see if I know what "all of them" are
Don't forget arms length for mobs
anything that reduces damage
Yeah arms length too
this isnt wow where you save cooldowns for crazy moments. tanks in that game dont even need cooldowns when pulling 20+ mobs. here you do
Oh that’s unfortunate
Thanks for all the advice
can you enter it with unsync mode?
Good luck and have fun, void
overlevel and enter to learn spell?
What does brush with death do? I wish some of these terms or effect were in description.
Whelp nvm learned the hard way
These alliance raid storylines need voice acting!!!
they never have them
@warped nest dungeon spells needed for job quests always have 100% learn rate regardless of unsynced or not
Interesting
Ik it's just an having to read all of it
Like the ones from tam Tara and aurum vale
Good QoL
What is the best class to solo?
@primal relic solo what if I may ask?
Msq, potd/hoh, eureka? Or unsynced dungeons/trials/raids?

Whichever would help with unsync dungeon
I might lvl them on my brother acc, since unless it’s DPS he will never play it.
Where do i find Hunting Log?
I think it gives mount if you complete em all, i'm not sure
but i use it mainly for leveling
very effective especially for lv 1-15
ah thank you!
@warped nest unsync dungeon
Assuming lvl 80 job, barely matter for low level dungeons
Lvl 80 job for lvl 50 dungeons or...?
any advice what to spend GC seal on :d
venture/cordial/prism :/
Oh a class lvl50 doing lv1-50 dungeon
For BLU
I plan to lvl it on my bro acc, since he doesn’t like non-dps class
Question: how easy/hard is it to get into Extreme trials? Sephirot has like the only drop I want for a glamour but I'm kinda nervous I'll make people mad once I queue up for it lol
Healer, I guess... I dunno why you want to use 2 lvl 50 jobs to do lvl 50 dungeons though
How bout for low lvl dungeons ? I thought a tank could solo.
Only if they are at high level
When they have more tools for self heal and self sustain
Oh okay, I’ll start lvling a healer then. Ty
Yea well at least up to 50, idk pass 50+ though
@pseudo atlas you dont queue for extreme trials and even then you just unsync it and kill it in 30 seconds
If you have a lvl 80 job of any kind you can just blast through everything between 1-50
@remote lintel Sorry for noob question but: what does unsync mean?
And leave the surviving mobs to teach BLU the required spell
it means you bring 4 lvl 80s into it and they kill it for you
Ooooh
Yeah, but I don’t want to ask ppl. I’m only at the very beginning of SB, so most of my highest class is lvl 5x.
Fair enough
@remote lintel TY! Assuming we find those people at Party Finder thing?
Actually, I want to change my answer
yes
Unless there’s another way to grind to 80 w/o being in ShB
BLU has access to White Wind, which is a very potent heal, so you might be able to make do with a tank
!action White Wind
Restores own HP and the HP of all nearby party members by an amount equal to your current HP.
White Wind imbues a localized current of air with purified aether, distributing its curative effects throughout the vicinity. Though powerful for such a simple spell, the purification of sufficient aether requires significant magical exertion on the part of the caster, and thus should be used sparingly.
Learn 10 spells.
Type: Magic
Aspect: None
Rank: 3
TY!
how I unlock it?
Since dancer you need to get the expansion and have a level 60 job does that mean you can play stormblood storyline as a dancer?
there's no reason to use play as an ast with minor arcana is there?
you use it to collect up to 3 arcane symbols
them blow your load once you have 3 to increase group dps
play gives arcane symbol?
Yes
Increases damage dealt by self and nearby party members.
Duration: 15s
Can only be executed after obtaining three Seals of Arcana by playing at least three arcanum.
Effectiveness is determined by the number of different types of seals in play.
1 Seal Type: 4%
2 Seal Types: 5%
3 Seal Types: 6%
Should you always try to aim for the 3 arcana for the bigger buff?
ahh
Yes
in the opener, once you've expended all your redraws, just get the 5% div out
don't wait for draw to come back up
Aim to get 3 different seals
how to get seals
i'm using play but nothing is happening
that's one of the hidden gotchas, you have to enter combat first
And you can only get seals whilst in combat
oh i see it. the little moon symbol
does rear attack increase damage?
in general
did it used to do that?
No.
So after wasting redraws, I just start using the lower buff? Is it ever better to use the crown skill? Maybe during div?
Crown are for
thanks 🙂
if you get the same seal
then you can expend that to a stronger lord or lady of crowns instead
Mhm.
Also should I save Sleeve draw for the last draw?
Mostly yes
How long is holding Sleeve draw a bad idea?
Like holding it for 5 or 10 sec is worth it
But holding it for 60 seconds is bad bad right?
sure
if you know that sleeve is gonna come up before the next div and you're sitting at 2 seals, just arcana cards and use sleeve for the 3rd seal
kk
How often should I be using Div? I feel like I get maybe 2 during lvl50 dungeon run?
as much as possible
What if things go bad and I get raised with 0 seals, and both sleeve and draw is ready?
you should be getting more than that
I use draw then sleeve?
use draw then sleeve
sure
In general if I have 1 seal, Sleeve off CD, and Draw have 15s left CD
Do I sleeve?
Or wait for draw?
kk
I’m probably playing AST wrong then. Feel like fight are too short and I withhold the card more often.
you should be playing cards as soon as you get them unless divination is like 10 seconds off
Yeah okay, I just feel like it’s a waste when the mob is almost dead or dead already but I’ll try to be quicker.
you get a divination every 3 minutes
so if youre only getting 2 divinations off in a 20 minute dungeon run youre doing something wrong
But that’s only if I get correct cards or redraw right? I thought I shouldn’t use Div unless I get all 3.
My rng is bad
you get 4 cards every 2 minutes
theres like a 99% chance you get at least 2 unique seals
Doesn't matter that much
so use it
I would say just fire it
I got 5 sun’s in a row lol
It's less than 1% dps
with draw and sleeve draw you shouldnt be getting 1 unique seal at all
How to i renew my subscription with crysta?
buy crysta on mog station and use it to pay your sub
I don’t have sleeve draw yet?
^yes
Oooh okay
with draw and sleeve draw getting 3 unique seals isnt that hard
ive had like maybe 1 in 10 pulls where i couldnt get 3 unique seals in my opener
Am I supposed to go somewhere else because i dont see the option
But yeah, 3 seals is like 0.95% more dps than 2 seals
(for some reason 0.95% of dps sounds more than 1%)
Should I save div for the crucial fight or just fire it immediately?
I'm not saying DPS don't matter, but if you delay Divination by 1.15 seconds than that's it
Bad math
dont hold on to anything
Usuaully immediately unless the pull is about to end
^
Yeah that’s why I often withhold the cards cuz it’s almost over 😦
But yeah I’ll try to be quicker Ty guys
if the boss is at like 5% health then yes
but if theyre at like 10 or 15% just use the card
Trick
That sounds broken as shit
3 minutes
!action divination
Increases damage dealt by self and nearby party members.
Duration: 15s
Can only be executed after obtaining three Seals of Arcana by playing at least three arcanum.
Effectiveness is determined by the number of different types of seals in play.
1 Seal Type: 4%
2 Seal Types: 5%
3 Seal Types: 6%
oh sleeve draw was the 180s
How do I unlock white wind for BLU? I’m reading this page it says I should’ve gotten it at the lvl 1 quest but I don’t have the skill? Unless it’s outdated.
Ty
Weird it wasn’t in the shop before, guess I had to let him update?
Of the two starter tank pally and warrior, which one is easier to play? Or have higher survivability?
pld for survivability
How is it easier compare to Pld?
Which Role will have the easiest time going through MSQ? Im starting from the beginning
any of them
I would say healer faster que time lol but that’s me

Yup^
Mogstation is the best way then
How do you unlock whisper mount? I know you can get one from collecting all yokai weapon, isn’t there one for collecting all yokai minions?
I was planning on steam cause I have steam wallet left over there 
First time playing? Juts try the free trial first then purchase from mog station
also on mogstation the Steam looks like its locked for me
oh I did a research I think I wont be able to play on steam 
Yeah that sucks might just be locked in your region. You should probably search up your location, steam and ff14 to get more information on that. Because i dont know where youre specifically located but i do know a lot of asians play this
Yeah so just save up that extra you have on your steam wallet until you find something you like, try the free trial, and purchase through the mog station if you enjoy it. Good luck 
aight thanks
What are the 'best' melds for WHM relic at this stage?
Can you get a unique item again if you put it in your glamour armoire?
Or does it still count?
@vague forge check balance
What are the 'best' melds for WHM relic at this stage?
@vague forge check the #whm_resources channel in the balance, theres a section on it
hello. is there some way to skip the waiting in duty finder?? i have a dungeon that i have to do in order to progres throught the msc but i have been waiting for at least 30mins...
Hmm, I checked but I must've missed. Thanks!
#593563541571764316 message it's here
@late garden no
@late garden yes, but not really
If you're playing tank/healer
Oh perfect, thankyou. I was looking above that in the gear sets. ❤️'
You can "skip" duty finder by using Undersized Duty to queue by yourself but you'll be by yourself and you probably won't be able to take out any of the bosses
uhh.. okey
you'll just have to wait for some people to queue
I was going to buy a item "Modern aesthetics - adventure" but it keeps telling me it was "unable to complete transaction. You cannot carry more than one of this untradeable item" but I dont see the item on my inventory
@queen yoke you've already redeemed it then
I don't recall ever talking to that woman
go to the aesthetician and look for it
such as Crafter Master books
You can check for the hairstyle on the npc now that it displays book information and see if you have that particular one available or do item search.
So I've got a buddy getting into the game and he's trying to do the level 15 class quest for THM, but he keeps dying because he doesn't have enough damage or hp to survive two of the enemies at once. He has ~IL 10 gear, would getting IL 15 be a big enough difference? Or what could possibly be the issue
That doesn't sound like a gear issue
Can someone help me with a macro, so here is what I want it to do: I already made a cool pop up macro that hides my active quests and displays my current jobs and when I press a job it "collapses" my job-hotbar and displays my quests again.
It looks like this:
/micon "Soul of the white mage"item
/gs change 1
/hotbar display 10 off
/hotbar display 9 off
/hud "Duty List" on
So I want it that the WHM macro turns the F1-4 into "target me (F1) and party members (F2-4)"-buttons again, because my NIN got his ninjutsu on F1-3 and the execution of them on F4.
That doesn't sound like a gear issue
@leaden ginkgo what do you think the issue could be then
Cuz I don't play THM so I don't really know, he's brand new
I don't recall that particular quest, one second
That quest in particular you can sleep the additional enemies you're not in combat with
besides after losing once or twice can't your friend set it to "cannot fail" mode?
Oh yeah I think he can change it to very easy, he's just a bit of a bitch about it
he shouldn't be.

He doesn't like making games easier lol
Just get him to sleep one and focus one and he should be good
Alright
or use his aoe
What the best crafting gear to take after lvl 70 yellow script gears?
cost wise or stat wise
Level 70 scrip gear is good enough all the way to 80
Hey just started to play and want to level red mage at 50. What should I play to level to than?
wyhatever you want
Macros that complex are beyond me, sorry.
@split swallow how fast do you want to get through the story?
Hah! I'll just make macros that target player XYZ and put it onto the F1-4 buttons
thinking way too complicated.
Your main progression gate to 50 is mainly the MSQ since the revamp 95% of all leveling exp comes from story quests
Oh, yeah for a first character that's much better.
Forgot that since I finished almost all quests in game trying to level other classes/jobs
@slate arrow Not in a rush just kind of want to enjoy the game and when get to end game do the content
play whatever you want
^
until 50
^
theres a video in the pins that explains each job
just ignore the expansion jobs since you cant be those
Having a tank is always nice, so gladiator and marauder are good for that. Scholar and Summoner use the same baseclass so you level 1 and get 2
(goddamn I hate netflix 2)
is RDM available in the free trial?
no
Is the best way to stop pyretic is to just sheathe my weapon?
is there an ixion hunt here?
@twilit schooner that or untarget
im trying to find a discord that hunts for ixion
@leaden ginkgo define here
Aether Hunts does have a FATE tracker if that's what you're looking for
One more question if you dont mind. Which server/world would be good to join?
Whichever one you have friends on
If not, a preferred server is recommended for the exp bonus
It's not required
But it makes leveling alternate jobs much nicer
Any advice on what to buy with poetics? I've been capped for a while.
!faq poetics
lmao
That a common question?
hey guys, how do you fire the dwarf cannon laser?
pet hotbar
ty
um i unlocked rowena house of splendor for script but shouldnt i get this ability called collectable synthesis?
couldnt find it
oh
and which one to submit to get the yellow script?
those collectables?
like just craft and submit them and we got yellow script?
Provided you meet the minimum required collectability for the submission, yes
holy... the mats so expensive D:
where do I get a replica of the 80 relic weapon?
There are no replicas for the Resistance weapons at present. They might come with the 5.35 patch however.
Maybe. We don't know yet.

For now yes.
hmm okay, thanks
umm i have problem. i have my little chocobo quest and i have to get a flame chocobo issuance but i don't know how to get it..
hmm you need to buy it from your gc vendor
since i assume you are with immortal flame, so it's in ul'dah?
oh talk to one of the npc there that can help you trade your gc seals to items
The main quest after you enlist will give you 300 Grand Company seals. A separate currency accepted by the Flames used for buying all kinds of things, most important of which being your chocobo license.
seal is the currency for your grand company
Do the next main story quest, then once you've finished it, return to the Immortal Flames and buy the Chocobo Issuance from the GC Quartermaster.
The quest will give you just enough to buy it.
btw regarding aether current, is the last yellow crystal always be your msq?
Yeah, the fifth one is always MSQ.
like if my last yellow crystal appears, does it mean that i just need to finish the blue quests in that map and just look for the remaining currents
ok ty ty
Hey guys, I’m getting back into FF14 and picking up my LV 56 WHM, however I see some of my class skills/actions are darkened and unable to use despite being correct level? E-Sumi doesnt have any quest for me to do either..I’m lost :^(
A lot has changed. It would be best to go to your Actions and Traits window and reassign everything.
also depends on how far into msq you are to unlock more job quests
Most notably, probably all of your cross class/cross role skills are darkened out
your job npc isn't e-sumi yan anyways
thats your class npc
raya o senna is your job npc
if you're not in heavensward you won't be able to get job actions past 50 either
or rather the 50-60 skills and the lv70 skill will be unavailable
I have access to Afflatus Solace but not Asylum, I thought I entered HS but I could be incorrect where I left off
Sorry for horrid photo
Check your MSQ indicator for your next job quest
It seems you just never did the quest, I think.
And thank you guys immensely for the help, I didn’t know there were groups out there for ff14
there's a discord channel for probably every game now lol
Can I transfer character to a different datacenter?
Yes data center transfers are possible. Only restriction is you can't transfer in to a congested world.
@nova umbra just bad RNG
And as for the drops, that's just bad RNG. Happens sometimes. 😅
hm... i guess i'll just keep trying..
Can a congested world become uncongested? How long or often does that take?
They update status after patches if there's sufficient population change.
Is it game over if you die in trust? Like just the PC
it's a wipe and you respawn at the start of the dungeon if you die
Can I ask a question?
That’s what this place is for
I found this frontline things near the airship landing in gridania. I’m only level 31 so I don’t know if I can join anyway but how would I be able to join?
I see it’s some sort of event but there’s no option for me to join it
it's a wipe and you respawn at the start of the dungeon if you die
@jade quartz that’s kinda dumb. I had a Urianger in the party, and he can’t res? Boo
they wipe because they're so embarrassed that the great WoL died 
@maiden chasm that's PVP, the minimum level for joining is 30
can take part through the duty finder -> PvP tab -> Frontline category of duties
or in roulettes at the bottom you should now see "daily challenge: Frontline"
Thanks for the help! I’ll try it in a bit as I’m level 31
know that PvP gives you a whole hotbar of actions different from your usual ones
you might want to try previewing PvP actions at the Wolves' Den
unlocked via the quest "Cutting Your Wolf Lose" at your Grand Company headquarters
Is it here or lore to talk/ask about later game dungeons?
yeah, visit wolf den and queue when it's your server peak time 😄
it gives good exp and new way to play your class
just once a day is enough
frontline challenge i mean
Hey guys. Bit off-topic, but Discord doesn't detect FFXIV at all. Not even if I try to add it manually. Anyone know how to fix it?
will the current il480 gear be selling as poetics anytime soon?
poetics is previous expansion, so wait until we start playing the new expansion
which is in another year's time
@hollow talon it just happens sometime. FFXIV tends to break Discord overlay detection often
Aw 😦 No solution?
I had to do absolutely nothing to have discord detect ff14
So 
detect means the one that allow you to stream in a server right?
so the game appears above your id on bottom left of the window
it's just the overlay function which is broke
Some days discord overlay just doesn't work other days it works every time
I've had it happen to me throughout the entirety of shadowbringers

Never works for me
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
It's consistently inconsistent
could complain to discord or SE but there's not much outside of hacky workarounds if overlay doesn't work on a particular day
I didn't do anything, but it never breaks for me 🤔
i'm playing on pc with se client
windowed 1600x900
I just looked up the setting, and the overlay shows my ffxiv folder is inside steam folder
and I don't even have steam installed, lol
😂
Question about fishing, is it possible to change the “!” when you get a bite? Maybe color or make it larger? Is there an option to make the remote vibrate when you get a bite? Sorry I only started DoH/L
so the pretorium event can't be skipped?
yeah, it's the longest
also give more exp than the other one
I'm still doing the roulette everyday till this day haha
only castrum merandium and praetorium have unskippable cutscenes
thank lord...
Makes me wonder about the other expansion finale
you'll find it out yourself later hehe
So I've been doing Puppets Bunker since it came out but the one mechanic that always trips me up, is the Sharp Turn formation against the Jet bosses.
How accurate is this: Formation: Sharp Turn - Each pilot tethers to one another, draws a sword and charges. (All pilots hold their blades the same way. If they hold in the right hand, stand in the middle of the arena. If in the left hand, stand outside along the edges.)
Because I've done this, and still gotten hit.
The left/right cover the left or right half of the arena
Wait
I was thinking the other mechanics
My bad
Actually they are not that different
The tricky part with sharp turn is, you need to see the other pilot heading your way too
Your pilot flies away, and another pilot flies from other alliance party to your part of the map. Both will have swords on their left and/or right
you go to the safe side of your pilot first. then make left right adjustment for the other pilot coming your way
^
1 ^ 3
P < < O
2 4
My horrible ascii diagram
MCH / Hyper and auto cross how many should I be able to get in. 5 should be 7.5 seconds but I cant get , only seem to get 4
If your pilot has left sword, you move to 3 or 4. Right sword you move to 1 or 2
Then adjust based on Other pilot
If your ping isn't very good
You might want to consider not using any Ability during
is there any reason to hit 100 on fashion report aside from the title / faster unlock of items?
I already have the title so
Just hit easy 80 every week and call it a day ig
I ain't paying 150k just to get from 82-100
Mhmm
I know we've had this problem before but the gossipy dwarf is not showing up for me. So I'm gonna ask a yes or no question
Do I have to be in the dwarf beast tribe
Huh. I'm screwed. Thank you
all that matters is that you've done the appropriate msq and are lvl 80
as well as the initial side quest unlock
Maybe you started the quest line and didn't notice it
first one is "Word about komra" which requires you to have completed "meet the tholls" lvl 78 msq)
after that they should have "a scandal in komra" which is lvl 80, and requires "word about komra" and "shadowbringers" complete
doublecheck the completed section of your quest journal for either of those quests
how can re-able effects of other people?
i disabled them a while ago
can't find the setting
Character Config > Control Settings > Character > Battle Effect Settings
thanks
what items am i gonna need to get with poetics for my anima relics?
unidentified items, if you don't do beast tribes
aether oil if you don't do the repeatable CT spam quest
singing clusters
umbrite
pneumite

if i remember right, do the moogles sell some of the items needed?
have you've done an anima before
nope
then a lot of those you cant prestock
meaning?
meaning you have to unlock and do that stage first before you can buy the items
really?
feels i have seen the items at some point
but i take your word for it
just wanted to make sure if i could spend some of my capped poetics so that i can earn more later on without feeling them go to waste
pay ppl/sprouts some gil, shout in a city, do a pf
When is flying first unlocked for Stormblood? is it the first area we reach?
once you get all the aether currents as with all the Heavensward zones
i mean as in, is it very early into Stormblood
no, the first zone you can get all the aether currents in is ruby sea (the third zone)
But it is early ish in stormblood
peaks/fringes won't be able to unlock flying until later on in the msq
Will I get more of this later on or use them carefully?
you dont get them later
I think they give you roughly enough to cover all the times that you have to return there for story
so there's no real benefit in saving them
got it ty
oh ye its about time I join gc
do they have different benefits?
or just join whichever speech I liked most?
just join whichever you like more
aye
I've been playing ffxiv free trial on ps4 for a while now and I'm trying to get it on my new pc I've just finished building. however both through steam and through the ffxiv website, its saying when I try to log in that I'm not eligible to receive a free trial as I already have signed up for one
I dont think u can play same acc on different platform
yes
nice
But you need to buy the game for ps4
but you have to buy everything again
what? so I cant play on the same account because I havent bought it??
😦 oh...

i thought i touch if i buy one version i can play on both systems
yeah, you can basically only do the trial on one platform. if you want to play on multiple platforms you need to own the game
well if i own the game in pc will i able to play full version in ps4?
Yes, but again you'd have to buy it again
rip
like there's no getting around having to buy it again for the platform that you don't currently own it for
and i honestly don't know of many games that give you a different platform for free
but why not free trial?
I already have a ton of progress and I have to lose all that just bc I want to switch platform?
is rested exp accumulated faster while logged in that logged out?
Same speed AFAIK
ahh, kinda feels faster while I was afking than when I sleep for 8 hours

a lot of guides for crafting suggest going on courier leves or something like that....where I can start that in uldah
(or w/e)
how can i checked which modern aesthetics i've unlocked
is night time for ashkin spawning in eureka 6pm eorzean time?
@patent citrus at aesthetician it should show where the unlocked hairstyles are from
I heard blue mage is the fastest way to clear out fates for yokai quest, how does one do that
@potent lava Blue Mage is a limited job, meaning, you need to kill certain monsters to get skills, basically.
@vivid wolf There is an element of RNG with most of DNC's skills.
how to make more hotbar appear at all times?
or can I bind chocobo summon outside of hotbar?
Yeah im aware of that but like what skills do I look out for for fast clearing
what are max level of armor/weapon in PtoD
99?
how to make more hotbar appear at all times?
@small rampart go to HUD layout - find hotbar - enable them,
If you want it to be quick /hotbar display X on X is the hotbar number
ye I was checking this earlier but didnt find the enable button
ty I will do it via command then
ohhh
On Save button's 1 o'clock
ye got it ty
I cannot help with the chocobo keybind question unfortunately
I play on controller XD
How rotation focused is DNC?
@vivid wolf DNC is heavily based on priorities
I will just change one of the hotbar buttons to something I want my chocobo summon I guess, same way I put sprint on Mouse button 5
There are some "combo" to speak of, but it is a priority based gameplay, where you need to decide which skill to use first and which resources to spend first depending on proc duration, current buff, which cooldown is getting ready soon
best exp spot in PtOD is still 51-60?
Might sounds a lot at first, but once you practiced a lil bit, it is not that much of decisions to make
I assume so, Momo
what does this mean
Gear has cap on their stats
Look at the bottom of your Material Melding window
See the Available Material Enhancement section?
ahhhh
Your Direct Hit for example, is capped at 6
got it thx
👌
Take note that you upgrade gears very fast while leveling, so we generally don't recommend spending Gil to meld dow/m until you hit max level
(feel free to meld for fun, but don't spend gils to buy materia to meld)
is it that expensive?
i just melt what i have because im free trial so can use market board anyway
It is not expensive
Just not worthwhile to buy materia and meld gears you will out level in a few hours of playtime
Hey I'm looking to join DC Light, what world server do you recommend? I'm new to the game.
For new players, we recommend joining Preferred World for their exp bonus, which is very helpful if you plan to level multiple jobs on one character
After you make a character, you will be asked to park your character in a world
Preferred world will be marked with a star
I wonder if I joined a preferred world or not 
EU doesnt have any preferred
so it ultimately doesn't matter
Oh, my bad, I wasn't aware of that
I think Aether DC doesn't have any either, right?
the only world worth noting is Shiva is known for its germany community
I joined twintalia
Ahh okay
@small rampart are you new too?
I'll have a look later when I get on properly
how do you farm weapon/armor in PoTD? running F1-10 over and over?
Hey does anyone know when the dragoon class gets good I have a level 52 right now an he just feels really weak I feel nothing he has pack a punch is he a good dps charaxter?
Sorry for typo
yeah or 51-60 hehe
how do you farm weapon/armor in PoTD? running F1-10 over and over?
@plain python eventually you won't gain more aetherpool from the lower floors
just open as much silver chest as possible
Hey, i'm asking here for myself and a few friends, we want to give FF14 a try and decided to start with the free trial before deciding if we buy the complete edition.
We saw that the starter edition have a 30day subscription with it, does the complete edition give 30d too ?
51-60 way better
yeah
@midnight sable Dragoon gets more tool later on, do you have any specific things bothering you at the moment?
complete edition also includes the last 2 expansion
At lvl 60, Dragoon will be able to use Geirskogul, which is a blue energy you can shoot out, good for single target and AOE
Dragoon will eventually get 3-step AOE combo
Yeah I just straight feel like I’m not that much of a help in my raid parties I feel like I’m doing the least amount of damage every time so it’s bothers me
And two 5-step single target combo
At level 50+, you should be doing 1 chaos Thrust combo (the one that apply dots) followed 2 full Thrust combo, then repeat
I just invested so much time an feel like he weak an people prob like this guys dragoon sucks
Any tips
just your feeling lol
everyone is busy with their thing
avoid all the bad stuff and do the rotation, and that's it
Your Life Surge should always buff Full Thrust
Ok, an yeah people prob to busy
For damage Ability, you should use them regardless of them being single target or AOE
Life surge I’m gonna look out for the combos an read arts more
@hexed ravine yes, you get a free 30 days with the base game regardless of whether you got it from Starter Edition or Complete Edition
Life Surge should pair with full Thrust whenever possible
Also I have a dark knight class I just got to lvl 45 I haven’t been seeing any artifacts armor in my quest anyone know why?
why there is no Initiate leve quest button here ?
Full Thrust is 530 potency, it is you single more damaging ability, aside from Chaos Thrust, which is a dot, but life Surge doesn't buff dog
Thanks for replies
Dark Knight doesn't get artifact at 50
