after the first egi-assault?
Savage raid is unlocked now
I get 1 garuntee book and fight for 3 coffers?
Yes
How many book for an acceccetory?
how long does the titan shield last
Accessory?
Tooltip says 30
so titan->egi assault I -> ifrit -> egi assault II?
@ripe hound 4 books for an accessory
also i feel like alot of the boss mechanics start upramping after a certain percentage of their hp....
should i save all my GCDs for later on when boss health is at 50% or 25%?
Saving your DPS abilities is a waste, since you use them less in a fight
Nuke it down
XIV jobs aren't build on knock down window like hack n slash video games, because the boss usually don't have it
Saving things is basically never right unless downtime.is about to happen
You want to burn the boss consistently
also, i notice that certain GCD cooldown reset immediately to 0 when entering a boss fight and certain others dont
are boss fights considered an instance?
You might also be mistaking some abilities not being usable outside of combat as resetting
The dungeon itself is
!action barrel stabilizer
Energy Drain? Maybe
These types of abilities are faded out and can’t be used until you enter combat
Energy Drain needs a target so it shouldn’t have that stipulation
For SMN abilities I think the main abilities that are like that are your trances, egi assaults, and enkindle
is there a thing so i can see a list of macros
We don’t have a faq for macros
There are some examples of good macros pinned in a guide in #protips-and-ui
The key thing for macros is that the more combat-related stuff you try to make them do, the worse they are.
I just want danger bongos
<se.8>
If you hate your party you can use one like this
/p <se.8> <se.8> <se.8> <se.8> BONGO TIME <se.8> <se.8> <se.8> <se.8>
😮
Thanks. I hate it. @obsidian patio
Alliance chat outputs macro sounds too, IIRC
<se.8> what does this do
Makes a sound effect
Playd a sounf effect
There’s a total of 16 different ones
You can also try them out in the Log Window settings of the character config
Summoner doesn’t really benefit from combat macros
Unless you want one that announces who you’re raising, and maybe one for announcing Addle
You can make a rez macro just to notify your party member you gonna rez someone
Hey. Thinking about trying out FF 14 for the first time. I was wondering if there is a magic user similar to a druid that I can create.
not really
casters are either black mage, summoner, or red mage, none of which is really druid-like
White Mage has a nature theme of sorts
Or rather its base class, Conjurer, has
But it does stay somewhat relevant throughout advancing the job
Conjurer is even called Druid in the German translation
(it is a healer though, but still a caster)
quick question, What do i do with Materia 7s? can i actually combine them to turn them to 8s?
Yeah you can hand in materia at mutamix in central thanalan for a chance of upgrading them
Past the first overmeld, yeah
What are your favorite parts of the game?
getting my ass kicked while learning savage content
Seriously though, I enjoy the endgame for its challenge without it feeling like a slog or grind
The 20 minute que times where do nothing
music absolutely slaps
where do i find Seal Sweetener II ?
so is dungeon spamming the fastest way to level a tank alt job?
like how long would it take to get from 30 to 50?
it's the fastest way to level any job, assuming the queue times aren't too bad
About a day if you did absolutely nothing else?
Maybe a bit more
@shrewd mirage bought with free company credits at the Grand Company base your FC was made at
Sprinkle in all the daily roulettes of course
Should be the left-most NPC behind the desk
Not hard
Without gathering/crafting
There is a cool looking bow in the market, am just not sure if 100k is much or not xD
is the healing AI int he command missions really that bad?
100k is barely anything
Oh, that's good to hear
is the healing AI int he command missions really that bad?
@leaden ginkgo yes, don't expect it to heal the tank when it needs to
As a person who once upon a time used to play MMOs quite a bit, am used to hoarding stuff in case I need them later
but usually it is just not worth since u can get them so easily at endgame
thought I would ask to not waste funds, lol
if you're on the trial
there's a gil cap anyways
and there's not a lot to use gil on either way
bought the game so I can use the market, lol
can u buy mounts from the market?
should i wait until i get though psot ARR before leveling alt jobs?
Cause it seems like, from what I've read, that most of the best ways to level alt jobs don't open up until later content
I just did dungeons
caught up with my main in a day or two
My alt is a healer though so I get into dungeons super quick
so if i bought the collectors edition of shadowbringers, and didnt purchase any prior xpacs, are they included in shadowbringers?
or will i have to go back and buy them all

If you had the Starter edition beforehand, then no, you won’t need to buy anything else. If you didn’t and just bought the Shadowbringers CE, you’ll need the base game first.
Complete Edition, however, has everything.
yeah i had the base game
what's the fastest way to level 70-80 on an alt job if you've already hit all your roulette bonuses for the day?
Dungeons
Then yeah you’re set
Do the level 50 Gatherer job quests give acceptable gear?
highest level leveling dungeon or trusts
thanks a bunch
@crimson wind for starting 50, yes, but you should get the artisans stuff from the GC or Ishgard NQ vendor gear as soon as possible
so if I'm 70, then any level 70 dungeon or any of these better than others?
The stat jump is almost obscene with how steep it is
@dawn cradle a couple mounts, yes
@elder meteor the level 69 one
Kk
Castrum abania
So would it be better to wait until I reach HW before leveling an alt job?
How do I get the artisans stuff? Just gil?
GC seals
Go to the miscellany section of the marketboard and look for “Zu Horn” on the 2nd or 3rd page. Starting from that entry to Incitatus or Myrotagus are mounts @dawn cradle
@slate arrow thanks
Kk
unless you haven't ranked up your Grand compwny
In which case, get to 51 and buy the vendor gear
Yo when do I get my chocobo again?
!faq mounts
'When can I get my first mount?'
The quest that allows you to use mounts, 'My Little Chocobo' is unlocked by completing the level 20 main story quest 'The Company You Keep'. The quest is located at the Grand Company base you chose and you'll need to buy the Chocobo Issuance from your Grand Company Quartermaster. You can get the 200 needed Grand Company seals by doing the main story quest that comes after 'The Company You Keep'.
'Are there any differences between mounts?'
Besides looks, all mounts are the same speed along with being able to fly. Some mounts allow multiple people to ride at once.
'Can I make my mount faster?'
Zones have one or two ranks of mount speed that increase the ground speed of mounts. The first rank comes from completing specific quests in the main scenario quests, with the second rank coming from Riding Maps which are bought with either Allied Seals, Centurio Seals, or Bicolor Gemstones. Mount Speed Boosts do not increase the flying speed of mounts.
I'm second lieutenant
You'll be fine then
Ok level 20
Working on Squadrons rn and it's a pain
I do recommend seeing if you have a friend or crafters leveled for accessories as vendor accessories are somewhat rare until level caps
and unfortunately, scrip gear doesn't exist at 50
It kinda does now with the baseline job-specific sets now being buyable with scrips, but those sets have bad stats since they’re also NQ
really dumb question but i haven't done alchemy in like 2 months. How do i actually start doing alchemy?
Better off waiting until 51 and buying the vendor set from Ishgard
equip your alembic
Does anyone mind setting me up for life finanically? Someone gave me like 100k on my first playthrough and I never had to worry about money for the rest of my time in ARR
equip crafting gear
@slate arrow yup done
thank you
Is there a good way to make money off of gathering at level 50?
not really
K cuz I'm poor asf right now
best you can do is sell consistently moving items but I don't know if there's anything from ARR used in current crafts
Same
Effervescent water and silver ore are staples in some expansion crafts
Cobalt ore is another one that usually keeps decent value
If you want to include unspoiled nodes then gold ore, gold sand, and darksteel ore are more good options
ok
It seems like things don't get good in this game until you get out of ARR
we are in the games third expansion
Also, ARR is more or less a prologue of what later expansions set up and refine
It's still very rough around the edges due to the accelerated development cycle back in the day
are the rewards from kupo of fortune phased out forever?
or how can I get rewards from past seasons?
Then what's the point of playing through pay ARR? Especially when you can watch cutscenes from it in YouTube.
@leaden ginkgo it's a final fantasy game first and mmo second
That's like saying you can watch all the cutscenes for ff7r on youtube
This is not my complaining, mind you
YouTube doesn't show how characters develop, it just shows cutscenes
@leaden ginkgo nah they're either stuck in the fortune pool or moved to skybuilders scrips shop
There's no temporary items as far as I know
thanks
Between levels 54-59 should i just use the goring blade combo?
yes
Yes
It's better until you get Royal Authority
Cuz the base potency beats the other one, even without the dots
Game's weird like that but /shrug
Not as bad a Lancer/Dragoon was
oh god
looks at doom spike
Any recommendations for NA data centers for somebody looking to exploit the preferred world bonus?
for a immediate temporary solution just get glamour prisms from your GC and sell them on the market
Bought the bow for the relic weapon, apparently it doesn't have materia in it :0
for a long term solution level Gatherers and Crafters
Should have paid attention before buying it fromt he market, lol
make or join a map party, doing maps for 8 people (there’s one per expansions, don’t know their EN names because of the woolseyism)
does adventurer in need award snapshot when I press queue, even if the in need changes?
Should have paid attention before buying it fromt he market, lol
You can get the materia and meld it yourself / go to a materia melder
Adventurer in need sticks for when you queue, so even if it changes while queueing you still get the in need bonus
@slate arrow the artisan's gear is crafter stuff
@wispy parcel how much do they usually go for on the market
and which crafters are best for money
depends on your server, they usually go for 200 a pop but sold in stacks of 99 thats about 15K
Youre supposed to level all the crafters together so if you wanna get into that you'll have to do them all anyway, but often armorer, leatherworker and blacksmith make the most
But before even that you have to level all the gatherers
Wheres the gear vendor after level 70?
For poetics you mean?
yea
should you really go for all of them at once? i'm leveling dol rn but was only gonna do botany and fishing
tyvm
or Rhalgers Reach
@proven sparrow if you try to only level one crafter youre in for a huge long term gil investment
How does one unlock Yellow Scrips? I got my miner to 50
No, it depends on what you want to buy
Go for the Scaevan gear
@wispy parcel I was gonna do bot/fish with like alc/cul and maybe weaving/carptentry
its much cheaper if you level all of them cause you need to keep them all geared, and its much cheaper to make your own rather than just buying them. Plus Miner is needed for materials that you would have to buy for some huge prices later on other wise
kk noted
i'll do several of them then probably as i'm currently completely broke after getting drunk and buying a ton of glam
how do you put auto translate chat in a macro?
same way you type it in a chat message
type part of what you want
and hit tab then choose the one you want to auto-fill in
Is there an easier way to get around the auto translate menu tho
Are there recommended ways to quickly calculate if crafting something can make you money?
Or just use Excel / Google sheets to calculate yourself?
Like I'm looking for a way to say "input the cost I need to obtain each resource, and how much of them I need to craft, and output the total cost"
It's just Excel right?
@glossy flare cap for rested is 1.5 levels worth
@crimson wind Yeah if you know what you want to say, start typing it and then press Tab. It'll try to fill in the rest.
Type We and press tab and first thing it pulls up is {We're chewing the fat.}
Otherwise, no not really

How much longer did it take to level 1-50 in 4.x than 5.x?
Barely any difference?
I mean did anything change in EXP gain or nothing really?
If you mean for your first class, leveling up while doing the MSQ, it's now significantly faster
Fewer MSQ to do with much larger XP rewards
Oh I mean for the other like 10 alt classes lol
I don't know if anything changed for alts
Basically the same for alts
Yeah, preorder ShB gave the lv 70- earring
But the previous Preorder SB earring is 60-
So no difference
I don't think they boosted the exp armory bonus for 1-50 either
1-69 is still very much 100%
Yeah, no big difference I guess
Yeah I think maybe 60-70 wasn't 100% boost in 4.x?
Since it's the "last 10 levels"
Correct, it was 50%
Yeah, that's all the difference I guess
Yup
There is a difference between the SB-pre order ome and the ShB pre-order one.
The Ala Mhigan Earrings can be equipped by crafters and gatherers too (the ShB one is battle class only), not that it helps much, it doesn't give stats to them.
Oh yeah
I need a generous soul help me mend an item with materia. I bought the bow without realizing the quest required carpenting level 50 :/
I stopped using it for my DoH because Ishrestro is just too fast
Use a NPC melder, they can do it too.
assuming its for the relic quest, you can just have the materia melders in any of the major cities do it for you
Oh really?
Yeah it is for the relic quest
npc melders can meld the assured slots for a small gil fee
provided you've done the side quest "Forging the Spirit"
its in central thanalan
does the normal Shinryu's Gunblade have a glow?
no
Oh wow didn't know that, thanks!
without any spoilers whats the strongest job class with regards to in game lore?
probably Summoner??
always a bit of a hard question to answer tbh
since most jobs in general have something that makes them pretty strong
not to mention powerlevels are bullshit
How do I unlock eden furor savage
once you've completed normal mode, talk to lewery in amh araeng to unlock savage. it'll be in the high-end duty section of the duty finder
I already finished all normal eden, but there's only 4 eden savages on my duty finder
lorewise, probably summoner after 70
aight
eeeeek i wanna start levelling another class from 1. gotta watch youtube vids and decide which one to pick i guess.
@frail fulcrum There's a second tab in DF for High-End Duties. All Eden's Verse savages are there.
need to click on the "high end duty" tab
to switch, assuming you talked to lewery a second time
Ah ok ill check it, thank you
@frail fulcrum btw, people dont really queue for savages
use the "/" and go to party finder
to find a prog party
Does the game keep a record of each time I went to a dungeon? Or at least showing me last time I enter each one?
Oh right, thanks thanks
no, game doesn't keep track of when you went into a particular dungeon
@wheat plume It will tell you if youve completed that dungeon before, with a checkmark. Thats it, tho

Is there a way to auto target closest enemy when the one I was targeting dies? It happens to me very ofter that with so many effects and names in screen at the same time, because I'm watching my CD, I dont realize I'm not targeting anything.
I am between 3.1. and 3.5 in the story and blocked by gear level from progressing in Main Story Quests.
have you been using the coffers you get from the msq?
I will see if I have any I have not opened. I am waiting for the download on a new Mac.
When you buy a FC house, do you have to have the gil on you or will it take it from your FC bank?
@scarlet hinge add someone to your friends list?
you have to have the gil on you @analog meteor
Thanks @twilit arch
how do i add them
@scarlet hinge If you wanna add them to your friends list you gotta hop to their server to add them
how do I do that
goto one of the main aetherytes in limsa/gridania/uldah and choose the visit a world option, i think its called
A random question, but which server has most plentiful housing?
like which one is likely to have open plots?
I'm going to buy FF14 soon in the next two weeks, but I'm planning of wanting to buy a house. I know the chances are pretty slim for me as newbie but I want to try in to get into the housing market
like which one is likely to have open plots?
Yes
probably one of the jp servers
I see, I see
its gonna be pretty hard to find housing on most NA servers
5.35 is going to add new wards, so you might have a chance of snagging a house then assuming you've got the gil/are lvl 50/2nd LT
but those houses are definitely are going to go fairly quick
Yeah
I don't think I'll be able to buy a house soon
But I'm planning on how to buy it tho
Even by Patch 5.35/5.4 I don't think its possible because I want to take the game a bit slow
Hi! How do you get the binewicca head gear for glamour?
run swallow's compass
which is a lv 70 dungeon you get as part of completing the 4 lords side quest
need alchemist to fix them for you
hmm not sure i don't have alchemist
one of your skills probably
repair something
Hello! New player here. How would I get to Ul'dah from Gridania to do the Call of the Desert quest?
i always mistaken between skills and crafting log -_-
talk to the lift attendant to go to the airship landing to take the airship to gridania @pallid frigate
for crafter
Is there anything worth fishing for beside assassin fry and the pareo glams?
talk to the lift attendant to go to the airship landing to take the airship to gridania @pallid frigate
@twilit arch Found it, thank you!

I reached Ishhard now. After being able to access Western Highland, can I go straight to Iddly-something to get Shire gear?
@severe tusk some of the fish that can go into aquariums can sell for a decent amount
But their value usually goes hand in hand with how difficult/annoying they are to get.
@plain python nope, the zones are blocked off until you do the story that would take you to those zones
I see. So fishing is kinda meh. Well still got it to 77. May as well finish
So idyllshire is locked off until level 58 in the story
you can't buy shire gear till you finish HW main questline anyways
you can buy it when you enter idyllshire
The sundry vendors are locked off until you beat their expansion’s leveling story
Ironworks and Shire are available from their normal vendors as soon as you can reach them
I think you need roughly 2,400 tomestone for Ironwork. How many would I need for Shire gear?
same
Same amount
Scavan too?
same for the 70 too
nice
Lv 80 stuff jumps up quite a bit tho
my crafter is wearing ilv70 GC gear. What should I get next?
Rush to level 51 and get that set of vendor gear
I can’t remember if that set beats the Artisan set or nearly matches it when NQ
is Moogle tribe available in HW?
I think Artisan is better till the 55 or 53 set?
I think around 53
And yes moogle tribe is in heavensward
are they enough to level up to 60?
Though it has a long quest chain for unlocking it
Yes, though it’ll take a while if you only rely on the dailies
eh no artisan stuff (unless you're talking the crafted version and not gc stuff) is only better than 51 set if its NQ
Yeah I meant the GC set
51 is only slightly weaker HQ
So I guess then rush to 52 for the mainhand tool upgrade
Honestly though, if your just grinding Ishgard for levels, artisan will last you till 61 set
How many F4s can I get before I need to F1
4, but 3 gives you time to use another GCD like reapplying Thunder if needed
Is there a way to auto target closest enemy when the one I was targeting dies? It happens to me very ofter that with so many effects and names in screen at the same time, because I'm watching my CD, I dont realize I'm not targeting anything.
Tab usually targets the nearest enemy
is Ninja's Huton's Doton circle a DoT? Or it just causes damage first tick and acts a Heavy debuff zone?
Doton, you mean. And yes it’s a DoT
yeah, Doton
But is there a way to doing it automatically?
Nope
My ping is around 70-100, but sometimes my skill input takes a second before it registers due to my internet which makes double weaving harder. Should i use a vpn despite having 70-100 ping?
I play on 140 semi-consistent with 160 spikes it isn't so bad, unless I'm playing monk then it feels like death
100 is heaven 👀
a VPN probably wont help you at all unless there's a poopy node in the route which is very unlikely
use winMTR and put in the datacenter IP. if its poopy outside your local network then a vpn -might- help.
So I've got some skills on my DoH classes that don't exist any more, such as Collectible Synthesis. Whats up with that?
Because collectibles are their own receipe now
They removed it this major patch and made collectibles their own thing
Hmm, so they aren't tied to professions any more? Did that change anything about getting Scrips and stuff that used to require them?
They're stilled tied to their job
The process is the same
Just they're a separate receipe like ishgard restoration stuff
You do scrips the same way
Collectibles dont rotate anymore either
Oh I see, you just mean instead of hitting the button that turns a craft from normal into collectible, its a separate recipe in my profession book?
Ah, fair enough. Thanks 🙂
Level 80 Tomestones
why does only one of my classes can get it in the roulette
Is the only way to get more second chance points in WT to do dungeons with first timers?
@manic flare Cause you only have 1 80?
or actually, i forget if they show up before 80, i think 71 maybe?
@granite swan so it's useless to me at the moment right
But yeah, they only are used to buy 80 stuff
because i can't find anyone that trades it
You have to pretty much beat ShB to unlock that vendor
oh im months away
Nothing, really
"The Lost World" achievement is very fitting for the quest it comes from lol
Eh, no white scrip jewelry?
nop
its possible 5.4 will bring professional accessories
give that with sb they were weird and gave accessories before the gear

How does f2p model works cuz I'm a returning player to the game ?
If you bought the game, it does nothing
Oh cuz I brought the game while it was on sale for ps4
Free Trial is just ARR+HW with 60 cap and some other limitations
Is there a way to make it so my hotbar don't completely reset itself when I get a new class
I just got paladin and my hotbar is borked
@granite swan is it unlimited tho?
free trial is unlimited yes
but once you buy the game you are no longer able to go back to the trial
I really wish crafting was sorted different. Why cant we have it split by category like all ingots, all chests etc =/
they do have a sort that breaks down materials, armor slot, etc
Though it is per class and per 10 level range
it’s a little tedious but if you have an idea of what you want to craft it’s fairly easy to find it quickly
Any suggestions for where I should look for a group to do Heaven on High 1-100?
putting a PF or maybe using one of the recruitment channels
depending on where you want to source from
I guess PF would do most of the work for me, but I've been checking the last few days and no one posts for that
I mean it is old so
It’s old but people definitely want the rewards
You could also use the PoTD/HoH Discord
I imagine PFs rarely pop up for it due to people sticking with a solid group they already have
always hoh/potd runs in it
Where is that if you don't mind me asking?
Not sure if we can post discord invites here so i sent it in DM :p
Which period is suitable for queuing mentor rouletee?Expect it is efficient to complete duty
Also another question wrt to the deep dungeon system, how does aetherpool arms/armor work? Obviously you upgrade them from chests but does that carry over to other files?
so my friend bought things with crysta and had them sent to his character but its been like 20+ mins and he still hasnt received anything in his mail
Log out/back in
hes done that
@placid ridge They are permanent so long as you dont use them up to get the Grips/Weapon Glamour
There should be a button to press in the moogle
mogstation deliveries can take a bit, can use the "request delivery" feature on the mail moogle to try and get it to hurry along
other wise just have to be patient
if its been over 24hrs contact support
So before I even attempt a 1-100 run, where should I be?
30-40ish probly? pretty ez to get to +60/60 doin 51-60 tho
If using potd/hoh discord just let em know ur aetherpool and some ppl have no probs doin 1-100 with carries
Interesting, I'd rather not get carried haha but at least there's some flexibility
If you do it as an Easy solo job like a tank or healer then 60/60 should be good enough for 1-100 in POTD
HoH 1-100 might want 80+ tho compared to potd 1-100
are some levequests locked behind completing other leves first? FSH specifically
I think they rotate sometimes, you can do 1 and it should refresh
Which are the SB gathering tribes?
Great

stupid question, creating a character wont automatically delete the old one?
nope
it should not do that
but if you create another character on teh same server while you're on the entry sub
you won't be able to access the character listed second
It won't even let you make a second character on the same server if you're on Entry
If you're on Standard then go to Entry, whichever character is at the top of the lost is playable
is low level drk aoe literally just spam 1 ability?
yup
you only have unleash for a long time
until you get quietus at 64
and then stalwart soul completes your unleash aoe combo
you also have access to ogcds like flood of darkness/shadow
abyssal drain and salted earth
does the beast tribe daily quest level scaling cap out at a certain point?
like 60 for heavensward and 70 for stormblood or something
yes
50-60 for hw, 60-70 for stormblood, 70-80 for shb
for combat beast tribes, you can go a bit into the next level range before it starts to fall off
ah ok. was just like wtf the stormblood ones were giving 300k and the heavensward one was giving 84k
but that is not true for the crafting/gathering tribes. they get kneed pretty hard
my crafters and gatherers are 80 already. was just trying to get some quests to level my gnb since my roulettes are down
and doing lv70 dungeons for xp is pretty tedious
ah yeah I am. I just meant things I have accessible
since I'm stuck on msq waiting for my brother and friend for a trial lol
ah alright
ishgard resto makes levelling crafters outrageously fast - is there a way to do the same thing but with gatherers? my weaver is close to hitting 60, but gathering is still stuck at 27
for Crystal DC, is there a specific server that does dungeons a lot and has friendly community? not into heavy RP but i want to make friends.
leves are fairly quick, or you can use diadem to level while gathering materials for restoration
what does doing the lvl 80 hunt trains give
nuts/phanta/allegory/cracked clusters
nuts?
i've been using diadem, but there's still an obvious incredible disparity between crafting and levelling rates from there
hunt currency
so there's no better way to close the gap?
leves, but gathering is always going to feel a fair bit slower than crafters
because you realistically can't just park your ass and to turn ins ad nasuem
thanks
Any player can put marks in any enemy from a boss battle, right?
yes you can open up the marker menu or have those on your hotbar to assign different markers to different targets at any time
waymarks however, must be set in place before combat begins or you will not be able to change them once you start fighting
So I can see all the enemies before the battle. Or should I know before their names for the markers?
I've just had my first boss battle with an organized plan. People started saying to look the markers, only in the 2nd try I understood. But I just want to be sure.
Can I manafont to get myself an extra flare?
The tank said "don't stand near the axe", what did he mean? Was it because a marker, or some term I don't know?
what fight?
King moogle
sounds like they were saying not to stand near the marauder moogle
marauder moogle = king moogle ?
anybody got a shadowbringer key for the low 👀
no, the moogle with an axe
Ah, so he was talking about his weapon in hand
but like king moogle hard mode it doesn't really matter
because people are going to just kill all of them anyway since its easier
We were killed in the first try
the king moogle is the giant moogle with the crown
if you were killed on the first pull, someone probably focused on King Moogle Mog instead of the little moogles
I did
he's the one that gets summoned out of the ground with that little ritual they all do
you should not
I didn't know
you need to kill the little moogles first before focusing the king
you should kill all the other ones first
because they do some wack stuff otherwise
ideally your off tank drags the 2 tanky ones away
and dps focus the others
Is that the logic for every boss battle with multiple enemies? Kill first the smaller ones?
you generally don’t want to ignore adds in most fights that have them, though depending on the fight you may or may not be able to ignore them
best to ask beforehand if you’re ever unsure
Is it possible to set auto dismount so I don't have to click the mount button everytime
When I enter combat
Yes, but because I watch cutscenes and don't have keyboard on PS4, it's a little hard to talk. I suposse I'll have macros to put messages asking for orders.
Ah ps4 typing, lovely lol
you can plug any old usb keyboard into your ps4
you can use the cutscene time to also type up a quick “new here” while it’s playing
Yes, I know, but I only have one in my PC, a little difficult to conect everytime I'm playing, I'm buying another one this week
you can use the cutscene time to also type up a quick “new here” while it’s playing
@charred steppe I didn't know I could talk to party during cutscene, because I don't see log
Push down on the touch pad I believe
they hide the log for you automatically so it doesn't ruin your cutscene experience
That opens the log
you can open the chat just the same
How can I know if an enemy in a boss battle with multiple enemies is tank?
if they do, and they yell at you, they're assholes
its really only that fight that does that
the moogle fight is kinda it’s own thing in that regard, most enemies in trials don’t have a job per se
the names of the tanks are whiskerwall and ruffletuft
is there a certain server on Crystal that is known to be friendly? i want to do dungeons but also make a lot of friends.
the moogle fight is kinda it’s own thing in that regard, most enemies in trials don’t have a job per se
@charred steppe another noob question: Trials = boss fights ?
@small atlas dungeons and instanced content is matchmade across the entire datacenter
my server can be too friendly, but it’s mostly up to your choice, crystal is overall chill
yes khell, trials are bossfights with 8 people
see also: mana potting for another another flare
@little swift is this some cursed ass strat
normal raids are also boss fights with 8 people
like i dont really rp but i want to hang out and chill with people and do dungeons with them, mabye in an fc
@crimson wind i don't know if its cursed, but it is somethign you can do
FCs are something you'll find over time, generally speaking there aren't any bad servers to join
high level strats right there
I’m on crystal myself, most of my buds are cross server anyway
If I go to loot after a boss fight, after everyone else rolled for loot and left, do I lose my chance?
no if you’re the last person you auto get all drops remaining in the pool unless you passed
But don't be the asshole that purposely doesn't roll.
for sure
no if you’re the last person you auto get all drops remaining in the pool unless you passed
@charred steppe but only the ones remaining? so if other people rolled and left, and I waited , I lose what they got even without rolling for it?
But don't be the asshole that purposely doesn't roll.
@crimson wind No, I won't do that, I'm just trying to learn how exactly this works
Loot doesn’t distribute until everyone lots
or leaves depending on if someone hadn’t rolled
if you leave the instance you're forfeiting your right to the loot

But don't be the asshole that purposely doesn't roll.
@crimson wind In which situation not rolling damages other players? Only when someone doesn't roll and stays in the instance for hours/days so no one gets anything? Or is there another situation?
if you refuse to roll you're making everyone in the instance wait for loot
it doesn't "hurt" others but its super annoying having to wait like 2-3 minutes for loot to be distributed
you're forcing people to wait for no reason
it's a common tactic that butts use to make people leave out of impatience so they can try to snipe it
hello, I'm currently working towards my BiS build, using augmented neo-ishgardian pieces as replacement of the crystarium gear I cannot buy yet, is it advisable to replace my current 490 gear for the 500 gear that drops from raid, even though the secondary stats don't really help?
generally iLvl is what you're focusing on except when comparing pieces of comparable level iirc
I see
If I roll, and BEFORE everyone else rolls, I get out of the instance, do I lose my right to loot ? Or my roll in considered?
you will lose your right to loot
you forfeit
yes Khell leaving the instance while loot is in the pool forfeits your roll
cause you left the instance
Ohhhhh, I did't know that, all the time I've been taking my time for roling, a lot of times until everyone else left
yeah, some people just stand still and wait for the timeout, which is kinda bad manners in my opinion
I didn't know that was really happening
just roll and wait until everyone has rolled for the loot to be distributed
it sounds like you were under the impression that the drops were per person?
I believed if you roll and get out, your roll still counted
nope
to be fair though, they adjusted dungeon loot now, so even if you don't roll, the dungeon automatically deposits something that class can use on completion
so it would have been hard to notice
but yes please do roll on equipment
it can be a mid-dungeon upgrade
Well, now I know that. I'll do it better from now on.
How do I gear my level 50 miner?
hit 51 and grab ishgard vendor gear
grab the few pieces of forager gear from gc and then push to 51 and grab the vendor gear
or HQ if its cheap ish
Is stormblood long compared to arr or heavensward. Checked a few wikis and theres a small amount of msq dungeons
?
it has more storyline quests than HW if i remember right
less dungeons doesn't mean less overall story
ahh I must've been looking at the wrong list
What do i do with old eden gear and stuff i cant sell or trade for seals or turn into materia? Is it just trash
can toss onto your retainers to hold for 5.4 when it'll be tradeable for seals
Well...i have 27k gil so Idk if vendor gear is an option
No
they don't particularly have a lot to double weave with
but ninja can double weave
the only skills that you can't weave together are anything and assassinate
since assassinate has an animation lock
@next steppe are you thinking of the Twinning?
time stop is either twinning, creator or tea
The final boss there is a variant based on ||Alexander||
@ripe hound see above
Thanks
So to unlock ishgard exactly what main story quest I have to beat? I already did the ultimate weapon and finished the first mainstory quest ark
How many are left?
80 more quest?
the first quest of Heavensward is "Coming to Ishgard".
80 more quests after Ultimate Weapon, yes.
So much just to go pew pew...
It was recently streamlined a lot
Its a lot for sure but its manageable
Ultima weapon to about halfway through to Heavensward its gonna get really boring
Then it picks up again
Yeah a friend was telling me he wasn't enjoying it very much after ultima w
Thanks for the help tho
My friend quit after Ultima its a rough patch of MSQ
I might just level some other classes and do things in between
My suggestion is to put on some tunes and blaze through it like a grind sesh
In log filters, I can see there is a Log #4, how can I select that?
Is there a way to automatically generate an ideal macro to craft a specific item with specific gear and specific foods in Teamcraft? Or do I just redo the crafting simulator over and over again until I'm successful and export that as a macro?
gotta click on the + next to the third log on the chatbox
I use log #4 for RP so it filters out FC and NN chatter
@gritty oracle gotta work it out yourself, there is no effective auto-solver.
Thanks!
the solvers won't optimize for hq items as well as correctly use good combos
i'd suggest also taking a look at community rotations for certain difficulties/ durabilities/quality amounts @gritty oracle
and tehn playing around with those
Oh, thanks

i need to get the quest Ifrit Bleeds, We Can Kill It from thancred but he just drunk in the rising stones. i need the quest for the msq but how do i get the quest?
hes not in the waking sands
Have you completed "A Recurring Problem"?
yes
hes not there for me tho
Have you already completed the quest?
i did
Check your journal in Completed -> Chronicles of a New Era -> Primals
apparently i did the quest but it didnt unluck the next quest
or do i need to clear the dungeon first?
You need to complete the Bowl of Embers (Hard), yes
i see. i will do that. thanks a lot
I made a rotation with Hasty Touch as part of the rotation.
https://ffxivteamcraft.com/simulator/28741/33589/70UnCVpIdpQcfL5vLlcX
Edit: wrong link
I don't know if it's a good idea
@wheat plume no
Like I played around with it, but with my stats I just can't hit Ishgard Tier 2 bonus
But I found that if I put in 2 Hasty Touch, as long as one of them hits, it's a Tier 2 bonus
If both of them fail, it's still tier 1 submitable
I guess if it works it works...?
anyone have the specific character creation setins for derplander/
I can't seem to get the eyyes down
They are default.
how can I use this sandwich basket?
it reads up to 10 servings, but I can't even use it
it's a furnishing to be placed in your house or apartment.
does the companion app do anything useful
it gives you an extra favoured destination iirc
anything else?
Registering it to your account gives you an extra favoured teleport destination, and an emote of swiping on your tomestone smartphone
after that you can uninstall it.
No you could sell it!
does it do anything outside of that, that one might want to do?
Nothing worthwhile. Lets you access the marketboard/retainers...for the price of tokens which you get once a day or something, or can buy more
how hard is it to get the pyros elemental armor now"?
It's used by virtually no one.
@outer plank not too hard. Eureka is still active during prime time hours, but it's also relatively easy to solo now
it's a moderate grind
hmm ok
If I die during the boss fight, but the party wins, do I get less exp?
no
All boss fights give exp? Or some give only other things (gil, poetics, etc)
I'm assuming you're talking about instances that are just a single boss fight, i.e. trials or raids
Does Gil at level 80 become housing+glamour expenses?
These don't give significant exp rewards at all.
Dungeons are where the exp is at.
@shell echo basically
Thanks
Raid food is the only practical need for gil
I'm assuming you're talking about instances that are just a single boss fight, i.e. trails or raids
@jade quartz But they give at least a little? I've checked the log after some fights and can't find the amount of exp they gave.
For eureka weapons, do I have to use the class in eureka or can I go as a different job and collect crystals for any weapon?
I know some relics need you to use the weapon itself and I don’t wanna melee dps in eureka
You can collect the crystals as any job
do i need to be capped in pyros to get pyros shards?
No but it takes a lot longer to get them
Healers use Aoe for healing? Shoul I stay close to tank to get healed too?
Yes, unless there is a reason not to, you should stay close to Healers and Tanks
@wheat plume not necessairly, stand close to the healer if ranged or to the rear of the boss if melee
do not stand near the tank
because bosses will often cleave
healers will move to aoe heal
Right, generally the good spot is behind the boss, close to melee and healers
by technicality there's not often reasons everyone but the main tank shouldn't be stacked south of the boss
If your healer is standing far away from the boss then ignore that tip
i would usually consider stacking south of the boss the neutral position unless required otherwise
But yeah, for casual contents like 4 man dungeon it rarely matters
@wheat plume not necessairly, stand close to the healer if ranged or to the rear of the boss if melee
@outer plank I stay behind the boss all the time, trying to avoid AoE, but from time to time some attacs reach me, and I've died too much.
there's no individual player targeted aoe healing effects in the game beside cure 3, and frankly if someone's trying to use cure 3 then likely everyone is stacked anyway
Just fool around and try to stay close enough to healers to receive heals
Just fool around and try to stay close enough to healers to receive heals
@ripe hound Close to the healers so they will notice me and heal me? Or because area effect of healing?
@wheat plume dont try to dodge out of it last second, your location will always be snapped shotted a second before the aoe goes off
Mostly because AOE healing
its just simple being careful where aoes are going
the most commons ones being cones infront of the tank
Healers usually look at the party list, notice you are low health, trys to heal you, but if you are out of their ST healing range they usually just give up and let you be
the only reason a healer would be unable to heal you is you're literally in narnia and couldn't be further away if you tried
you should have plenty off breahing room to avoid aoes
with plenty of time
just dont tunnel so hard on the hotbar
if thats the case
Hey as a Bard it's my job to snipe the boss from far away! (please don't)
I'm DRG
Yeah then you are already in a good location, no need to go for healers for healing
I'm doing Titan Hard 5 times, I died everytime. I guess I'll try to be closer to the healer.
oh, ok
If you die just type "healers adjust" and leave. (please never)
What happens if I put healers adjust?
It is community joke that can be conceived as very rude
It's just a meme, means that "AS A DPS I DIED BECAUSE THE HEALERS CAN'T ADJUST AND KEEP ME ALIVE"
haha, naah, I don't wanna do that kind of thing
But yeah, generally you should just stay behind the boss and poke his butt
@ripe hound oh i see now
Your healers, if they have any sense, should usually stay just outside of melee range (at the furthest)
are you dying o landslide? or the exploding rocks?
But yeah, Titan Hard have some Mechanics
landslide being the line that knocks you off
Can I stop seeing the name of each party member over their character? And put the number they have from the party, or the class icon? It's hard to identify who's tank and who's healer
Yeah and if you fall off you can't revive
Yeah and if you fall off you can't revive
@ripe hound That was my first try, hahaha
Crap I don't know if that's possible
You can change settings to just see their name as initials
@wheat plume best advice i can give you is dont jump till after he uses landslide (he will turn to a random player and place down a large line aoe that will knock off anyone)
also
identify which side has the rocks drop first
then DONT stand there till they explode
then move in as the second set of rocks will explode
But there is no settings to make job icon float on their head
You can change settings to just see their name as initials
@warped nest GREAT! Thanks
also not sure if you did this already
but you can also dampen peoples effects
@wheat plume
identify which side has the rocks drop first
@outer plank rocks drop? the outside circle that falls?
so its not a blur of lights
@wheat plume in titan hard mode their should be these small exploding rocks that drop
they do it in 3's
1 set of 3 will drop either east or west
I didn't noticed that, I was too focused in staying behind titan and ignored everything except AoE
then the other set, covering the arena
wait till those 1st rocks explode
move to that side
Can I downgrade my Phantasmagoria stones into Poetics?
then the 2nd set will explode
but you can also dampen peoples effects
@outer plank I wish I knew that sooner, THANKS. Where's the option for doing that?
they do alot of damage
if you get hit by them
to be carefui and see which ones drop first so you can wait for them to explode and move into the safe zone
move to that side
@outer plank Great, thanks

If I die inside a dungeon, and revive at the beggining and try to reach the others, when they enter a boss fight there will always be a message for me to go directly to that battle?
Yes, anyone outside the boss arena when the door is locked off will get a teleport prompt
It only happens when the door is sealed
@wheat plume character configuration > character tab > battle effects: show own, and put show party/others on limited or none
i use none
only show own
@wheat plume what world are you on
@wheat plume what world are you on
@outer plank Cactuar
The markers can be put on places or only on enemies?
You should keep your Party member FX to limited
This way, you can still see healing/buff AOE
Is there any website with examples (images) of all actions for every job? I don't know how to recognise any healing or buff, I only know what happens after my HP goes up.
if you mean ground effects, i believe tank guide has pictures
Usually I just stand in bubble that is blue and hope that is healing? not sure if the balance discord has what you are looking for
Usually I just stand in bubble that is blue and hope that is healing? not sure if the balance discord has what you are looking for
@fast hull Do you have a link for the balance discord?
the only different non blue bubble is the AST, find a star with yellow borders
https://docs.google.com/document/d/1cLIQbPzzWg-IWxo_Myom-_9aSqf7xO4vxmhk6QaLPkM/edit#heading=h.cmdk8nl0gfie longer link but it goes directly to the part
!faq balance
How dead is Anemos nowadays?
Really? I usually go RDM in there.
The 100% or 150% Echo along with eureka potions make you very tanky
More so if you use your magicite defensively
As a low level tank where swapping isn't really used yet what is the role of the off tank(s), are you just the 1/2 dps that groups adds and takes the boss in a disaster scenario?
Offtanks have roles in specific scenarios. In add phases they pick up one or more adds. They help soak shared tankbusters. or they have specific roles, say in E5S they pick up the executor.
or tankswaps. If the main tank gets a vulnerability debuff due to a tankbuster, then the offtank must pick up the boss, like in E6S or Shiva.
I think in low level trials most of what offtanks do is tankswaps and meteor soaking.
someone know what can i do with the ocean fishes that i take it? I mean i cant sell it on the market board because they dont give enough gil
is the elite clan hunt in Ishgard bills soloable like its counterpart in ARR?
how many days does it take to max reputation in beast tribe quests?
Is ishgardian restoration the fastest way to level crafters?
Comparable with leves
@small rampart ARR tribes need 15 days each if you do all of their dailies every day
@plain python yes. the stormblood one is even
i mean, iirc they all are
i don't really do hunt board shb
Expansion tribes take about the same time too, IIRC
Anyone know if Krile outfit work on guys?
Female only
Goddammit
@small rampart ARR tribes need 15 days each if you do all of their dailies every day
thanks
I'd recommend you to do 4 tribes at a timeb
And do their highest rep giving quests only
So it's faster to do all the tribes at the end

need help how do you back up your hotbar???i dont want to arrange hotbar everytime i play in the internet cafe....
Pretty sure it's on the character select screen
ah, that's everything but the hotbar
you save your hotbars from the launcher itself
ok let me try
you could also just save your UI settings (a folder in Documents iirc) into a flash drive and paste it into the folder in the internet café is it allows it
What is "carry" ?
usually comes from "carrying your team"
Meaning they only win because of you
So a carry is someone who does that
carry usually means you played really well to make up for the rest of your team
Bit of an arrogant perspective but sometimes it's true 🤷
You carried your party on your back as a burden
Or conversely, an individual can be the weak link who is "carried" by the rest of their party
Like for me example; A newb healer being carried and teach by a veteran gang on how to be a healer in a dungeon
That's one way you could use it

How often does the expansions gets discounted ? (non Steam)
Very rarely
and where can I check if there is one ongoing
Hey guys i have the feeling im missing out something. Whats the optimal daily routine for a sprout with a level 40 bard? Delivery missions, random dungeons, maybe send your companions on missions etc?
@elder matrix you currently doing story?
@glad comet most of the time yeah
Is bard your main class?
Yeah i think its very beginner friendly outside of dungeon finder😂
Ok, then I'd suggest doing the story.
As you've got most of the story to go through, that's the best way to get XP for Bard.
In the off chance that you're not the right level to continue the story
Go to Duty Finder, and do levelling roulette.
MSQ -> Roulettes -> POTD/HoH/Highest Level dungeon
That's only a daily run.
Is there any detriment to having say, 6 squadron members, or can you just horde as many as you want for lulz?
Im 10 lvl above the main q..so there is no prob..but arent there dailies i should do? Like the randon dungeon, delivery missions of my organisation etc
yes, that's duty finder @elder matrix
levelling roulette is the only one that's accessible to you.
that can only be accessed once a day
for bonus XP
You can do the daily duty roulettes for XP or the Grand Company deliveries for seals and rankups
but always do MSQ
that's how you can unlock more things to do
no point in not doing, as many would say
Do note that the roulette is really only worth it once a day
Don't queue for it multiple times
So beside the roulette and the delivery there are not more dailies at my early lwvel?
you can't unlock more ways to level without doing MSQ
So focus on that for now
And whats with my market helpers(sorry im german😂)
Retainers 😄
Where do i get the marks for them to send them on missions
retainers
you can buy them via company seals

The same i get from delivery?
Yup
Those, Glamour Prisms and some crafting mats are the only thing that is really worth to buy with them in the long run anyway tbh
Yeah thats why i never looked it up again after i unlocked the company shop😂
I still heavily recommend ranking up in your GC, at least to second lieutenant
Because you unlock Squadrons and Hunts at that point
Squadrons are not that important but hunts are
Is there any detriment to having say, 6 squadron members, or can you just hoard as many as you want for lulz?
I don't think there is
Oki doki
Besides having to manage more people of course
Yeah
you can only have six? active to use, others in the recruitment sheets on your barracks table
to use new ones you have to discharge old ones
I just have 6 at present
ohhh right, 6 was the cap
I mean, 6 people is enough anyway 😅
Yeah just nice to have a small amount of variety
It’s another collectible game too for those that care to play it that way, doing certain challenge log entries to fish for certain squadron members
you have to have new ones waiting to join I believe
Ah
at least that’s when I started discharging them, when someone I wanted showed up
Thanks
Nope, but open a PF for it. I'm fairly sure you can do it with 3-4.
If I NG+ a raid series, will I have to actually queue and complete the raids as needed?
No, even if you go in unsynced via duty finder it still completes the quest objective
Though I'm unsure if going in solo, for example, is even feasible for NG+ 🤔
i mean you have to do the duty, but it doesnt have to be synced or with people from random queues
