Even the seals aren't really worth it. You can get more (in less time) just for doing a few gear turn-ins at your grand company

the seals are nice at lower gc ranks since it makes it a fair bit easier to promot

onyx kiln
dumb question but how does Block work in this game? Recently got the skill Sheltron for PLD which says it will block incoming attacks.I have seen that at times the damage i recive says things like: 123 damage taken (11% blocked). Is that the effect of Sheltron in action or just a random block thanks to the shield i have on me? and if so. Does Sheltron block all damage or just a larger % of it?
remote lintel
when you have sheltron you will block every hit for that duration iirc
without any buffs you block randomly
and block doesn't block all dmg
onyx kiln
yeah regular block i expect only to be reduced damage to a certain point. It was just that when ever i use sheltron, i either miss the text for the damage i recive or the enemy never threw a punch at me at the time so never been sure on how efficient that skill is on what it is meant to do
jade quartz
It guarantees that all incoming attacks for the duration of the buff will be blocked.
It functions as intended.
It’s a good skill.
worldly hinge
100% new to ffxiv. Just bought the complete collection online through Square enix. Any tips? Which server should I pick?
zinc orbitBOT
faint flare
Server choice doesn't matter, data centre does
remote lintel
all worlds can play together on that data center
leaden ginkgo
Server choice only matters for choosing a Preferred one as a new player, or if you are looking to join a specific free company.
Preferred servers grant the Road to 70 buff to newly created characters, which increases EXP gained from all sources by 100%.
Additionally, the first character you level up there will grant your account 15 days of extra game time for free.
remote lintel
when you hit lvl 30
leaden ginkgo
Affirmative.
You can recognize preferred servers from the golden star next to their name in-game.
worldly hinge
Odd, I'm not seeing any golden stars next to any of the world selection. Unless server selection comes after character selection?
leaden ginkgo
Affirmative.

hello
how can I get better at pointing my teleport marker on the Iconoclasm (savage) raid?
remote lintel
on mouse and keyboard?
remote lintel
hold right click and turn camera
leaden ginkgo
I'm using legacy type control
remote lintel
it works the same
faint flare
Turn the camera so you point the arrow debuff where you want to.go
remote lintel
right click turns your char with ur camera
remote lintel
no you hold right click to spin your portal
faint flare
Turn the camera to point the debuff where you want to go
Ie if you want to go west
Turn your camera
Until the arrow points west
Then tap forward
leaden ginkgo
I think I was missing the part where I walk forward
if I use an ability, my character faces back to the boss
faint flare
Yes
remote lintel
yes you can't attack
leaden ginkgo
ok, so I can hold right click, point the telport, keep casting, then before the stun, I tap forward
is that correct?
remote lintel
no
faint flare
Dont need to hold right click after turning the camera as legacy keeps the camera turned
remote lintel
I was talking about a different way to do it
if you're doing what vinyl said you just use left click to turn camera

right click should be turning your character
@remote lintel this happens only when I use Standard type controller

there is for others, so surely there must be for party?
faint flare
Turn camera so arrow points where you want to go > press forward to rotate your character and the portal > done
If you want to greed, wait until last minute to walk forward
You basically position the portal with your camera

only if it's greater than a 40 point difference
vapid veldt
melee combo gets delayed
faint flare
Only if the difference is larger than 30 are you penalised
vapid veldt
but dps doesn't necessarily go kaput
unless you end up missing a melee combo cause of it
wispy parcel
Youre DPS takes a hit but its not the end of the world
fast hull
@faint flare can you explain more like balance gets 10% damage or some such
faint flare
If they're significantly unbalanced then you generate less mana
Thus your melee combos are delayed
And you go out of sync

Mana as in MP or its different

Ok, so the same then. Which means doesn't matter if she gets CE or ShB. She only needs Shb but if it's the same price she might as well just get CE. That right?

I disagree that SCH is simple, to me its the hardest healer to learn XD

Negative.
Standard Shadowbringers is 39.99 so it will end up at 19.99 most likely during a discount.

twilit arch
As it is a ranged ability, Enchanted Reprise should mainly be used to maintain GCD uptime during movement heavy mechanics. It can also be utilized in a few other areas, including using it to weave oGCDs as they come off cooldown and using it to get an extra GCD before a boss becomes untargetable. It can also be used to dump mana before your Manafication, however with current potencies, this should not be seen as something that "must" be done each cycle.```so dont use it then and prioritize the combo?
sinful mist
basically you mostly need it for endgame-high level stuff because 99% of the time you don't need 100% GCD uptime
yeah first and foremost are positioning and combos. if you are good at those, you can try to use reprise if you think you can squeeze it in, especially during movement stuff

@sinful mist RDM has postioning?
faint flare
For mechanics
sinful mist
well... unlike a black mage you don't want to stand in every AOE
fast hull
Ah ok thouggth it has the flank and rear thing again
tacit atlas
Remember when your accuracy was worse when attacking from the front?
fast hull
? what
tacit atlas
Remember when melding accuracy was a thing
sinful mist
that's long ago
plain python
hm, is there a way to know which card on which role outside of hard memorization?
gloomy ice
Back in HW, there was an accuracy stat.
It's gone now and you don't have to worry about it.
fast hull
use the borders
jade quartz
There is no need to memorise the cards
All the information is there at a glance on the card HUD element
tacit atlas
It's just the colors
jade quartz
Purple or blue tells you if it’s for ranged or melee
fast hull
also get on the habit of using redraw, divination is really useful if you got the 3 of a kind one
jade quartz
And at level 50 seals are added to the gauge
tacit atlas
When you play a lot of ast you will eventually memorize them
jade quartz
Doubt
tacit atlas
But it's more of a thing that happens and less of a thing that you need
jade quartz
I never memorised them lol
gloomy ice
Yeah I've been learning AST and I just see color and seal type. That's it.
tacit atlas
I mean, a lot
fast hull
I just know that the tree is a sun and the sun is a sun
jade quartz
You can completely ignore what the actual card is
tacit atlas
I haven't memorized them either and they are my "main" lol
jade quartz
Just colour and seal
tacit atlas
It's just a thing that is bound to happen eventually
jade quartz
Not necessarily even then.
fast hull
Do i even need piety as AST anymore?
sinful mist
some people do, some don'T
jade quartz
Given that what the card actually is can be completely filtered out of your mind safely
@fast hull still helpful if your progging higher savage floors or ultimate
tacit atlas
I just kind of vaguely remember what the specific ones do
plain python
3-of-a-kind card means 3 cards of the same color, or the 3 same card?
sinful mist
someone from my FC casually just spew out the main rotation for a black mage at level 63, because we were dropped in that dungeon and the other dude didn't play black mage for a long time. people be crazy ^^
tacit atlas
The bole is ranged and the arrow is melee
jade quartz
@plain python seals for divination
tacit atlas
The rest is a mistery
jade quartz
Which are unlocked at 50
fast hull
@Momo sorry what I meant you need to have sun moon and celestial to get the 6% damage buff
plush umbra
How do I get my wings for the work in progress quest? Lvl 50
fast hull
AST cards
So you need to get solar lunar and celestial is what I meant for divination
it does not matter if melee or range as long as you get the 3
plain python
does Summoner's Bane worth to use in single-target after I get Trance outside of spreading DoT?
jade quartz
It is never worth using on single target

Because it does nothing

plain python
any craft that worth to get specialization before end-game? Or I just stock up crafter soul until then?
fast hull
I think most want to be an omnicrafter? (noncrafter here though)
twilit arch
you can only specialize in 3 crafters
tacit atlas
That's not what that means
twilit arch
ultimately, while leveling, it doesn't matter too much since it gives you a bit of a stat boost
so can choose whatever
tacit atlas
Speciality is for 3 jobs
twilit arch
at end-game it isn't really that important either, unless you want to be able to craft the specialist recipes
sinful mist
weaver has a few nice crafts you can sell on the market for nice money
twilit arch
its basically a choose what you need stat boost in
fast hull
Should I buy level 76 armor or Scaeveian is good enough
tacit atlas
When you have the best of the best gear it doesn't really matter, bit it helps a little bit
gloomy ice
76 HQ is better than Scaevan full stop.
tacit atlas
I sure did change my specialities when crafting my aesthetes side tools

do dashes cancel out anything that an arms length / sure cast would cancel?
gloomy ice
Custom Deliveries are 6 per client, 12 total per week. Normal collectables can be turned in as often as you want.
twilit arch
iirc yes...but it requires a bit of good timing on your part
gloomy ice
Gap closers can work but the timing changes depending on your network environment
tacit atlas
Yes
delicate stone
mmmm i kinda want to make it my goal to get that timing down xD
delicate stone
even tho realistically no kb mechanic happens back to back to warrant it
fast hull
I just dont want to fall off platform in Leviathan EX ;-;

i think my friend helped me undersize that once while leveling
a bunch of the old fights looked wild
alexander savage looks terrifying
carmine palm
Ever since I recently got the game and expansions almost every time I boot up the game it needs to download a file again
carmine palm
I don't understand why
carmine palm
This is the third time I needed to do this
fast hull
Are u steam?
carmine palm
Yes
tacit atlas
Check integrity of files
delicate stone
I saw the water fight and the 3 mecha fight, x.x there are so many insta wipe mechs
fast hull
yeah... they do that alot, they need an update for the game AND steam, if they mark your file is corrupted need to download the whole game -_-
carmine palm
It's not allowing me to verify Integrity of files for some reason
tacit atlas
Huh
I think that there is also an option to do that in the launcher itself
Don't quote me on that
fast hull
The usual advice in steam is to install it to your main drive C:/ but I dont have enough space so I used another drive
carmine palm
I have to use a different drive as well
tacit atlas
It might be that then?
carmine palm
Well I guess that's something I just can't fix then
fast hull
It has a fix on steam discussion but I am not tech savy
something about modyfing the app data or somehting
tacit atlas
Yup, it might be steam specific
carmine palm
It keeps making me download ffxiv - H2017.06.0000.0001b
Don't really know what that means
tacit atlas
That's heavensward files I think
carmine palm
But this is the third time I had to do this
tacit atlas
If the numbers mean what I think it means
It's the last pach of HW before SB
Not that it matters
carmine palm
I really don't want to wait an hour every time I want to play the game
I don't know why it's still loading heavensward content shouldn't that just come with the base game nowadays
tacit atlas
Internally it's still separated by expansions
Even if you get ARR and HW together now
carmine palm
My only reasoning for this is that for some reason it decided to download sections of the contents every time I boot up the game
tacit atlas
The game might think that those files are corrupted
Which is why we said the verify game files thing
zinc orbitBOT
tacit atlas
Did you check if you could do that in the launcher?
carmine palm
There is no option to do that
tacit atlas
Huh
Then I don't really know what to tell you other than "reinstalling it might fix it"
But that's never ideal
If this problem is indeed a steam thing

proud willow
I don't know of any quest icon that has swords in it
haughty spade
tacit atlas
Again
proud willow
oh
tacit atlas
That's the gladiator class quest
proud willow
I never noticed, but I guess the icon on the journal entry itself is different
the icon over the NPC's head (and on the map) is definitely a though
haughty spade
I have a friend I'm playing with, where can they find their class quest?
tacit atlas
The job/class quests thing always is like that
Like the WHM quests have the WHM cane
So, you know how there is a big button that tells you where you are at in msq?
proud willow
Important quests show up on your Scenario Guide just below the MSQ, so it's a good idea to keep that enabled to help you find them
and class/job quests count as important quests
tacit atlas
Below that is a smaller button that you can click and it will show you your next class/job quest
gloomy ice
@plush umbra Wings? I don't recall that quest having anything to do with wings. What does your quest objectives say?
fast hull
Which is harder to combo DRG or SAM?
gloomy ice
SAM has three combos that you rotate between as needed. DRG has only two, and at 80 becomes just one long combo.
tacit atlas
Sam I would say
fast hull
So SAM is akin to MNK?

dim smelt
Does exitlag work ?
leaden ginkgo
Sometimes.
dim smelt
Sometimes ?
leaden ginkgo
Affirmative. Lower ping services are not always effective.
Their purpose is to find faster routes to the game server and thus reduce latency.
However, if your ISP is already using the fastest route, services like exitlag won't do much.
dim smelt
I use wifi Hotspot lets see how it goes lol
leaden ginkgo
Good luck.
dim smelt
Yeah thanks :)
sinful mist
wifi hotspot has nothing to do with it afaik. because exitlag will still have to route through the whole hotspot stuff.
a simpler solution
tacit atlas
Ping is almost always higher on wifi
sinful mist
yeah well ^^
tacit atlas
More dropped packets
sinful mist
but nothing ever will change that
dim smelt
Ahh oh k then ill just test it out if it isn't so effective might as well delete it lol
sinful mist
basically, the way to see if it really helps
dim smelt
?
sinful mist
open "resmon" in windows. go to network. look under tcp-connections for ffxiv_dx11.exe and then for the remote adress.
then open "cmd" and do "tracert <IP Address>
if you see in the list that follows anything that is above ~30 to 50ms it's bad
at most it should be 10 or maybe 20
hope this isn't toooo involved
dim smelt
I mean I've no idea what that is but I'll try to find it lol
sinful mist
just press start and type cmd or resmon xD it should show up on its own
dim smelt
Also 50 ms ? I'm lucky if i get 110 lol
sinful mist
basically this shows you the route your signal goes on the interwebs. from 1 to 10 here. and how long it takes. the more stops it makes and the longer it takes for the signal the higher the ping
sinful mist
remote

Do plot reset? I see people talking about rushing to get a plot when the servers are up
What do they mean
twilit arch
so with 5.35's release they are adding more housing wards
so it means there's going to be a bunch of fresh plots available to buy
so its first come, first serve

Actually some peopel took leave on their work just to find a plot for sale -_-

gonna be a bloodbath to get a plot for those looking to buy

Most likely
cyan fable
Is it like 4 million for a plot?
twilit arch
for a small, ye
twilit arch
mediums are between 16-20mil, mansions are 40mil-50mil
there's no bidding unless you're talking about people selling their plots outside of the game
fast hull
Yup that one
twilit arch
Which is a different situation all together
cyan fable
What happens when all the plots are full?
Do they reset
if they go offline for a certain amount of fdays
twilit arch
normally, there's an auto demolish timer that when a home owner doesn't enter their house for 45 days the plot with be cleared and put back up for sale

omg is anyone else struggling as yshtola

@fast hull this worked omg thank u uuu
cyan fable
normally, there's an auto demolish timer that when a home owner doesn't enter their house for 45 days the plot with be cleared and put back up for sale
When this auto demolish was a thing pre covid, did the auto demolish destroy all their furniture too? Or does it go back to their inventory
twilit arch
no, items would be place with an npc in the housing district that you could retrieve them from. However they only remained on that npc for a limited time (iirc its like 30 or 45 days, one of the two)
you also got 80% of the gil you paid for the plot back as well

sorry for the super late response, yeah on pc
and he doesn't have a registration code for shadowbringers but bought the complete edition of the game
but still cant make the bunnies
What does your friend's title screen look like?
The menu before entering the character creation.
uhhh im not sure, you mean the login screen?
Yes.
oh it says free trial on it
did he download the wrong client lol
The account doesn't have the complete edition code registered.
Your friend has to register the code to activate the product.
i gotcha
ty
when he looks in his email for a registration code there isnt one, just a proof of purchase
That's not where the code is located.
where would it be located/
?*
Square Enix store.
Assuming that's where it was purchased of course.
the mog station store? or does it have to be from the square enix website
Not the mog station.
The Square Enix store.
Log in, select your profile, then select orders.
The code will be there.
"See unlocked key"
so if he purchased the complete edition from the mog store and not the square enix store, what does that mean?
cus when he goes there he doesnt have anything
but he definitely purchased the complete edition off of the mog store
Through this?
yeah i think so
And they 100% sure had the complete edition selected?
yes
Does it say complete edition on the receipt of the email?
yes
Then I don't know what to say, this is bizarre.
Double-check they are using the correct account.
yeah he is
😦
i dont understand
why this is so hard
lol
brave ravine
when you log into mogstation, there are multiple tabs that represent different subaccounts to your account
make sure the primary subaccount has FF14 bound to it
leaden ginkgo
he says it's right
A screenshot of his mog station page would be useful.
can we get in a voice channel maybe
just to see if that would be easier
This account has all expansions.
A fully activated standard profile.
I don't see the problem.
brave ravine
yea tat all looks fine
leaden ginkgo
but he can't
make the shadowbringers races
and his login screen says trial?
idk im confused
brave ravine
reboot computer to make sure he quits out of everything

So I checked ping on resource checker and it seems to have 2 pings for ffxiv both are by same name but 1 is 209 ping other is 194
twilit arch
did he let the game download the expansion?
dim smelt
Which one is the accurate one ?
twilit arch
cos if he was logged in when he upgraded, he needs to completely log out
leaden ginkgo
I suggest you delete the first screenshot. Your login ID is visible.
brave ravine
@dim smelt neither is correct. ping times vary in a range
leaden ginkgo
alright he's gonna restart
brave ravine
or rather, both are accurate
brave ravine
if he still cant make ShB chars after reboot, make sure to d/l shadowbringers
dim smelt
Yeah they keep on fluctuating between 188-209 range
