I am max level it's fine xD
@hard ginkgo that's an exterior window for houses.

How many tenants can one have?

Up to 3 tenants
guys, I went to Tataroga but can't find emperor's set, is there a step I need to do to get it? this is all I can see
Doesn't the Emperor's New set have a Gold Saucer requirement?
Nah
need DoH lev 15 quest
^ and do the crafting quest that lets you craft prisms
"Absolutely Glamourous"
It's in Vesper's Bay too
@onyx kiln depends on your rank. You lose more mettle the higher your rank but in contrast you also gain more mettle
Lucky you cant really de-rank in bozja
You could be looking at the wrong menu then. I think the NPC has multiple menus you can pick from
it's this one and small talk one nothing more
ok I don't have the quest
I need to get DoH to 15
how do I do that though ? xD
"the quests A Self-improving Man and Submission Impossible from Wiscard must be completed."
how long does it usually take for crops to fully grow? specifically, doman plums and valfruit 
real time ^
how do I do that though ? xD
Level up a crafting class
I'm not sure what you want me to say
"the quests A Self-improving Man and Submission Impossible from Wiscard must be completed."
That's ooooold
I thought so, but its the only thing I can find about quest requirements for the vendor
I know another player had the same issue not long ago, but I don't recall what the solution was
how long does it usually take for crops to fully grow? specifically, doman plums and valfruit :thinkies:
48 hours according to a quick google search
I know another player had the same issue not long ago, but I don't recall what the solution was
Well for this case it's simple
do the quest
hey guys, anyone here using ACT ember overlay?
i cant seem to scroll down the overlay while the game is on. wudve liked to see additional details below
does gathering count as DoH ?
No, gatherers are DoL
no, that's under the category of DoL
oh I see, thank you
I did Bozjan front castrum today
On last boss we had a "Alpha team"
What was that?
fastest lv60 dung?
For what purpose?
bitter memories
Hmm. I think I heard Gubal was the go-to for those? Not sure though.
i heard antitower but wasnt sure
I've been hearing Antitower and Arboretum
antitower it is then
I can't see Arboretum being fast... although if unsync is an option then maybe.
nah has to be synced
Hey guys, Just a quick question on anyone using ACT -- i really dont care about the log files. Is there a way to turn off logging every move i make so i can at least save some disk space? I only really need the DPS meter.
Nah the log is how it reads the dps meter to you
Just delete logs every once in a while
I see.. i tried unchecking this but it doesnt do anything. It still records every move in the log file lol. do you know what this does?
No idea
alright thanks
hey, so I'm quite new to the game, only reached heavensward a few days ago
but I'm really curious as to what this new bozjan thing is
is it too far from where I am in the game's progress rn?
It's level 80 endgame stuff
understandable
Or rather, unlocked by your first level 80 I think, but then after that you can participate with level 71+
Yup
Specifically, it's content related to the level 80 relic weapons which can also be used as an alternative leveling path for characters at level 71+
Specifically it requires 5.2 story completion to unlock
welp, I should probably just ignore it for now then lmao
on another note, there was another thing I wanted to ask
what are the rewards for stuff like pvp and carteneau stuff?
I unlocked them back in ARR but I never actually tried them, so I don't know what's the benefit in doing it
pvp rewards wolf marks which can be spend on armour sets
Which are just for glam though
by "pvp" you're including carteneau as well right?
I actually forgot the name of that gamemode
first time using ACT and im extremely surprised our tank is usually the top DPSer lol... is thisnormal?
You can get some good xp for doing Frontline roulettes, but PvP isn't otherwise particularly good for anything.
That is... not normal @manic schooner Liberti
frontlines! that's it
That is... not normal @manic schooner Liberti
@open coral really? damn.. perhaps our tank is overgeared
Tank should be between healers and dps
thanks for the help lads, I'll try the pvp later
In most cases it will have nothing to do with gear, and everything to do with people just being bad.
If you're dps and being out-dpsed by the tank, you should review your rotation because you're probably doing something wrong.
If you're the healer and being out-dpsed by the tank... that's not a big deal.
As long as your healer dps is not 0, yeah
i see, alright thnkas
You can feed your logs into... what's the analysis site Cypher? I can't remember it right now.
That's the one
it will tell you things you can improve upon
If you feed your logs into that, you can get a breakdown of what you're doing right, what you're doing wrong, and the places to start looking for improvement.
After a certain point to improve analysis won't help you anymore
But its a wonderful place to start
I mean, once you get to that point where it won't help anymore, you're probably already well ahead of the curve anyways.
Maybe not 99 parsing, but purple for sure.
really? wow im impressed how much ffxiv enthusiasts have put efforts into making helpful plugins
It's a gaming thing. Particularly for MMOs. People always want to improve in order to challenge harder content more effectively (or just to flex).
I think both tools were actually created for WoW, originally and were simply repurposed for XIV.
Let's be honest, when it comes to the parsing percentile... mostly to flex
Well, not ACT specifically, but the idea of having an external program to read logs, parse the data, and lay it out.
Its mostly in comparison to others who also play that job/role AND have uploaded
Does FFLogs even support uploading non-endgame stuff?
I don't think so.
๐ so it's worthless to me, ty
It does
Was there any new main story quests in patch 5.35
Of course your mileage may vary because there is less material to compare yourself against
Current dungeons, alliance raids, and extremes
You can upload but it considers the data as trash fights
how to keep crafting something as long as the resources are available ?
Was there any new main story quests in patch 5.35
@normal breach No
MSQ is major patches only.
guys curious does limit break count to the DPS of whoever cast it? sounds a bit unfair since its a collective effort to fill it up
I think it counts as its own thing.
It is its own thing
Lb is its own thing
Doesn't count towards anyone
ohh oay coool
So being outdpsed by lb3 means you suck really bad
That... sounds like a challenge ๐
Since its 1 instance of damage
I mean, yeah, that makes sense.
You probably shouldnt use act in frontlines anyways not like it has any value in that content
And potency info is different in pvp
for bitter memory do is it only once a day?
no

I can't get into Bojzan, how do I start my Shadowbringer relic?
what's wrong with this macro ? it keeps repeating "Basic Touch" and doesn't do other things
Did you do the Ivalice raids @royal lichen
You cannot even access gangos without finishing those
If you did do them and already have a relic, then you need to go to Gangos and there's a blue quest there
@north venture You do have Basic Touch in there 4 times. Is it not doing Master's Mend after the 4th Basic Touch?
no, it keeps doing Basic Touch and durability reachs 0
@open ember dumb question: Where do I start my ivalice raids?
oh it's Mend not Mind shit
In the Kugane Dori Markets
There's a quest named "Dramatis Personae"
They are lv70 stormblood raids
my bad, thanks Lamia
Once you complete Orbonne Monastery and turn in its quest, you talk to Keiten again
You mean the raids with that kid who looks a lot like that ff tactis character?
yeah, i'm in the middle of that raid quest
How do I get to the lower part of Mourn, behind Anyx Trine in the dravanian forelands? I'm trying to get the aether current but I've ran through the cave, up to the top of the mountain...can't seem to get into the area directly behind the tower. which way do I go?
I do msq a lil' bit, then I do side quests a lil' bit
Arighty~
what level 60 dungeon is the fastest to run for bitter memos?
does the current bozja story questline end after castrum?
anti tower @gusty pasture
what was the Emergency maint. last night for?
@ionic hazel
Hotfixes
It said it on the lodestone
They messed up some Bozja gear I think
alright thanks
So they had to fix it fast
Soo i never quite figured, if i am ready to increase my reputation on Beast Tribe .. from rank to another as the reputation points are full
and i have quests beforehand
IF
i complete the quests beforehand, and then do the rank up quest
will i have new quests afterwards?
As in
You can do the rank up quest, then hand in the quests you already have and then pick up new ones
Do the rank quest first. You will still be able to turn in the ones you have and get the new 3
oh q.q
Turning them in before ranking up will waste the reputation
It'll warn you when youre at full reputation
how do I get here?
My point is not that though
I am just trying to be efficient
regarding XP
to only class i did not bother to level before
when you rank up, the 3 new quests become available, limited only by your daily quests remaining
how do I get here?
Go back to Anyx Trine and there should be a middle level with a bridge going into cave. Don't go all the way to the top of the tower
Fair enough ^^
Thank you Calisaie! I'm losing my mind locked to the ground
What are some of the best methods to get gil?
Treasure Map's
diadem, if it's a good time for it
generally the answer is 'x, when it's a good time for it'
if there was one surefire great way to get gil, everyone would do it and it wouldn't be great
Theres no real quick way to get a lot of gil very quickly. Leveling Crafters takes a bit of investment, and Maps are heavily based on RNG
Just unlocked holy spirit on PLD. Do I use it until my mp runs dry or is it just a ranged option?
I guess I can invest in leveling up all my crafting classes
Deals unaspected damage with a potency of 150. Potency increases up to 550 as MP nears maximum.
Additional Effect: Increases attack magic and healing magic potency by 50% if current MP is at 80% or higher , and allows spells to be cast immediately Duration: 12s
But yes, as a rule, get your MP to full and spam HS
When you have Requiescat, use Req first
I was wondering as I didn't know if it was a waste; let's say me investing a lot of time in crafting when it is easier to just get gold by running rouelettes or something
to switch into magic damage+
Its meant to be PLD's big damage rotation but yea you dont use it till you get Requiescat
So until 68 only use it if I can't get close to the boss for some reason
basically
holy spirit is about the point where pressing clemency becomes a sin to your dps
I mean I wasn't using it anyway, heh
hey there! do I need to do all three chocobo quests from each faction to get the faction-chocobo?
Roulettes will get you about 10k Gil. Or, you could sell one Toadskin ring for 10k, spending about 500 in mats
The chocobo doesn't change
@teal tiger once you've joined a grand company, do the next MSQ to get your chocobo
Its just the barding
Doing all roulettes daily by level 80 nets you about 150K gil a day
Its based on which gc you are in in a given time
thanks a lot! :3 @agile laurel
Each roulette takes about 40 mins
hi are the new skysung tools (crafting) better than pentameld aesthete?
Thank you!
Roulettes do not take 40 minutes
Msq is the only one that would
Given normal circumstances
Most can be done in like 15 minutes with a decent group
Nah
Shorter for things like trials/normal raiss
And the waiting
Leveling and 50/60/70 only take that long if your tank is single pulling, which they shouldnt be doing or their a bad tank
Queue time is like 10min and dungeon at 15 means it's only 25 minutes total
Dungeons do not only take 15mins
They shouldn't take much more than that on average
Some dungeons can be completed even faster
35-40 mins
Tamtara nm for instance can be done in 7 minutes
I've never had a dungeon go on that long mate
most take at max 25 minutes with a bad group
Min 25 mins
????
Depends on the dungeon and how crap your dps is
Dungeons only take 25 minutes
Most players are not good
If the tank is single pulling and healer doesnt dps
At most dungeons take about 15-25 min
Also yes the tank doing big pulls or not matters
Yes
I've average around 15 for expert roulette
There's not a single dungeon that takes 45 min
Can it? Ofc it can
But on average it doesnt
The longest dungeon you'll have is from trusts.
Prae and castrum arent regular dungeons
Which average around 30 minutes
those 2 arent normal dungeons
Cause they nerf the DPS of trusts to always finish in 30
they have their own roulette for a reason
If you DPS too high
Gameplaywise you're actually only playing like 15 minutes tops
Praetorium is 5 mins of gameplay and 45 mins of cutscenes
Its not even 45 minutes of cutscenes
If you're taking more than 25 min in a dunegon then it is either:
- small pulls from tank
- shit dps
- constant wipes
We're done here conversation isn't even relevant anymore
Nor is it even helpful/correct info
Yes, I have the correct info
guys how to unlock hunting log for samurai? theres seems to be no samurai icon in the list
Crafting is better than roulettes for money
Hello everyone, long time WoW tank here, started playing FFXIV for 2 months bow and i LOVE it!
My question is, is it wise to start tanking right away as i still level and don't know content, or should i play dps untill i learn content? In WoW i was tanking right away idk if that's a thing here. Thank you in advance ๐
DPS
Play whatever interests you
People get mad if you donโt tank well
Check the pinned video for an overview
Tanks are fun to play as your first class
@manic schooner sam has no hunting log
People absolutely shouldn't get mad at you if you listen to advice and communicate
Rotations are generally a bit simpler to get into and the queue times are better
Hunting logs are for classes only
Shouldnโt, but do
@manic schooner sam has no hunting log
@static yacht ohh shoot. thought had to unlock it or sumthin.. thanks
And because sam is a job not a class there is no log
ohh theres a disctinction between job vs. class here?
Hunting logs are only available for ARR classes that have yet to obtain jobstones @manic schooner
This is the 5% that it actually matters cause its sub 30 content
Classes are the base versions of jobs that start at lvl 1
Like Archer who then turns into Bard
Classes pertain to the playable classes from the start
Which is a job
Ohh i see.. much clearer now.. thanks guys
Jobs -> classes
Used to be that you had to combine two classes to unlock a job
Scroll up and youโll see people talking about dungeons taking too long because of small pulls @teal sleet
But that is thankfully no longer the case
Buddy stop trying to push that conversation and narrative
@gloomy mortar Thank you, will do
I mean... small pulls are an understandable newbie way of doing things.
It's not bad unless you decide to ignore advice to improve
Hey sorry to break it but maybe its best to talk about something else other than a dungeon taking a bit
No problem! @teal sleet Ask me anything. I have all the information
Dude
@gloomy mortar Awesome ๐
Don't
I would not trust you for help
(Not Meara)
@teal sleet Please ask a Mentor if you have any questions
They are experienced and more often then not, correct
Hello. Where can i find O.S. Primordial ores?
There's others here that have correct information as well
Yes ๐
Yes ๐
@gloomy mortar
Not you
Of course me
Stop spreading misinformation
Stop pushing that narrative
I'm gonna stop arguing with you because I'm talking to a wall at this point
Enough
@teal sleet tanking was my secondary choice due to getting tired of long queue times, it quickly became my favorite. If you're worried about not knowing content you can just be honest with your team about it. I often will let them know if I'm new to a run or don't remember it and have yet to encounter anyone rude about it.
Drop this now
Yes pleas drop it
I will not hesitate to remove you from this channel also should you continue to push your opinion and narrative onto new players as fact
Youโre just insulting now
@sand grove Tysm ๐
Consider this your only warning @gloomy mortar
!mute 339785856145424384 1h
@static yacht That information seem to be wrong D:
i checked it out
i could be missing something
Do you have the required stats?
Do you have the dragonsung pickaxe equipped
i have the augmented dragojnsung yes!
Anyone have recommendations for leveling BLU? 
I just came back to this game yesterday and i was wandering how come i can't see the chain quests in the firmament ?
@sand grove get a friend out of your party to blow up the mobs you tag in azys lla
Learn flying sardine and do that
Its an instant cast ranged skill
Learned from apkallus in eastern la noscea
What's the level requirement for it?
To learn a spell?
Theres no level requirement
You just need to see it cast
And then its rng for overworld mobs and unsyncrd content
Btw, where're all teh chain quest in the firmament? I've talk to augebert already and i can't seem to find the next npc
Oh that's weird. I tried learning 1000 needles at level 18 but couldn't after trying on like 3 cactaurs. Thought there might be level
Its just bad rng
Chain quests?
the 5.31
Is your server finished the restoration
Yeah
@little swift Yeah it's all done
Aah awesome!
@little swift So, that means i can't do it anymore?
Thank you takkun!
Ishgardian Restoration and relic guideBy Iโnanghal Shikhu(Shikhu#3190) and The Balance discord: https://discord.gg/thebalanceffxiv Updated to 5.35 OverviewCraftingExpert Crafting and rankingsGatheringKupo FortuneMacros for the Restoration Skysteel tools(Relic) Ishgard...
Here is the docunent
Scroll down to relic guide
Gimme a moment to take a look for you
Which quest did you want to continue doing @atomic yarrow
is there a way to set your default face to a different facial expression 
@little swift The Making of a Market
No, only temporarily
Also I gotta get me that dog emoji
But that's neither here nor there
What's the difference between Mender Permit and Mender PErmit A-2?
The appearance of the npc
the outfit of the NPC I think
@cedar compass have you completed the
absolutely glamorous
Making of a market starts at francel
From what I can see
You needed to have finished "to thaw a frozen heart" to see the quest
@atomic yarrow
@cedar compass have you completed the
absolutely glamorous
@little swift i hadnt, thanks
hey guys just managed to kill this rare spawn, Vuokho. After killing it, i ddnt seem to get any rare loot. just exp. how come?
What's a good way to get a Peity III materia without buying it? (I'm on the trial)
Vuokho is a b rank hunt mark so you need the hunt bill for it to give you anything
oh there are bills in this game just like FFXII? cool.. where do i find those bounty bills?
do the hunt quest at your gc hq
ohh that board on the side...
ohhh i see, looks likeits a long process.. havent unlocked ishgard yet
thats stormblood content right?
You need 2nd lieutenant for the lv50 hunt quest to be availabke
No Ishgard is HW
no
Ishgard is heavensward
You need to be second lieutenant or higher in your GC for the ARR hunts
each expac has its own hunts
you need to unlock ARR hunts to unlock other expac hunts
Also SHB doesn't use Centurio seals. It uses nuts
Yeah, first step would be to rank up in your GC
ok. but the way i get to start this chain quest to unlock hunting marks -- they all happen in GC HQ right?
ARR doesn't use centurio seals
Yes Liberi
Well the hunts all have a quest in the expansion hub area, but yes the first one starts in your GC hq
ok thanks ill get to lieutenant first
@elfin kelp Extract from gear. Transmute other grade III materia. Or buy with brass sky pirate spoil, which you can buy with Ishgard Restoration scrip.
If Arcanist is a DPS and therefore has low healing magic potency, where do they get the extra healing magic potency if one decides to go the scholar route that summoner does not get? Do the soul stones adjust stats or something?
Scholar loses almost all the Arcanist skills
It's basically its own thing, even if the base class is Arcanist
Summoner on the other hand takes away a lot from the Arcanist
Is that the only job that starts off as a different role?
it's the only job that splits in 2
Also for the record, it's not really decision of a route to take
Leveling one also levels the other
It is a route because one can choose which they main
In that sense, sure
sure you can choose to never unlock the other class
Just wanted to mention the xp thing in case that wasn't clear
it comes bundled together
you get scholar whether you want to or not
even if you don't unlock the class
you're still getting xp for both
I mean technically you can decide to not unlock the job, as in you never get the soulstone
But yes, if you eventually do unlock it you'd start at whatever level your summoner is at that point
arcanist healing is also pretty decent under level 30
even if it's not a main class healer
Why did they decide to go that route? I mean they did not do that with any other job
Only the devs can answer that ๐คท
All we really know is that in hindsight, they regret it but
My guess is simply because they use the same book style weapon
Which have to be different for stat reasons
Left over 1.0 stuff of cross-class mixing I believe. Stuff that they eventually changed their minds about, like the old cross-class skill system, and requiring leveling other classes to upgrade one to a job.
So yeah... weird
You needed to have finished "to thaw a frozen heart" to see the quest
@little swift Yeah, i've done that quest in previous patch
Yea a lot of it is in the same place as old league stuff was
Just kinda remnants from when they thought stuff was okay design at least
@little swift Yeah, i've done that quest in previous patch
@atomic yarrow But, i can't see that quest when i go to the place so idk.
Maybe the phase is all completed?
The quest should be available
Why is it when you log out (not exit), it takes you back to the title screen instead of the character select screen?
Especially if your restoration phase is completely completed
Why is it when you log out (not exit), it takes you back to the title screen instead of the character select screen?
@calm phoenix I mean... because it does? How is anyone besides the devs supposed to answer that?
Some things are the way they are because they made them that way
Makes for easier cross datacenter character swapping
Is there a way to buy "snow white dye" other than on the market board?
You can buy it off the mogstation or use gold feathers
Oh snow white
Especially if your restoration phase is completely completed
@little swift Yeah, my server restoration phase is completely completed
smh Meara
Yeah Ixali sells them
Yeah I was about to say, snow white is not the expensive white
You can also craft them
^
I did not think mog station was accurate because it is tradeable and sellable on the market board
Hmmm I'm sorry I don't have much more information beyond that grae, my server isn't quite as caught up
Yes we established Meara was wrong Moltres
Oi
mogstation has pure white
Channy was also wrong
Which is different
if you are on aether, I can buy you the snow white
our mentors are confused
Is there exclusive dyes on the mog station, then?
not exclusive
I have the ixali tribe high enough for snow white and soot black
just expensive
There are the general purpose versions
Not exactly exclusive, but the ones you can buy there are the rare ones
Of the green rarity dyes
There are also tradable versions which go for a lot of gil on the market board
What I meant by exclusive was only purchaseable on the mog staion
Those versions, yes
you can get them in game
But there are other tradable versions that look the same
they're just rare
No you cannot buy them with real money and sell them on market board before you ask that
^
everything except pure white and pure black is relatively cheap though
usually under 20-30k
pure white and black cost 200-300k
Be nice to your retainers and sometimes they will bring you back some fancy black dye 
Hmmm I'm sorry I don't have much more information beyond that grae, my server isn't quite as caught up
@little swift Ty
Is Dragoon/Lancer the meme class of the game? Iโm boutta start maining it tbh
There is this very old meme of them being floor tanks, yeah
Dead meme
But all the jobs have some memes attached to them
The meme is from its older gameplay style which resulted in a lot of deaths. It's not relevant after many QoL changes.
I know that 1.0 was in 2010, but when did ARR first get released?
7 almost 8 years ago moltres
Meme also was justified because of dragoons weird stat spread that gave them like 0 magic defense
2012 or 2013?
Objectively you not sucking at the job matters more overall
Every job is viable, just play what suits you
You can play everything on one character so you can switch if you don't like it
Meme also was justified because of dragoons weird stat spread that gave them like 0 magic defense
Yeah also because of the jump animation locks were worse and you could get stuck in an aoe. Not really a relevant anymore. The joke sticks because it's funny as shit
When did 1.0 go offline? Curious to know how long the rework did
2 years
my game keeps on not responding on launch and I even restarted my computer do you guys have any other idea for that? it was working fine yesterday 
There's a great documentary about the launch and transition to ARR from noclip
If you like something like that
It's on youtube
Nov 2012 was the shutdown, but development on ARR started before that iirc
Development on ARR basically started immediately after 1.0 launch... or really close after launch
@old solstice any specific error codes you're getting?
Hmm corrupted files after hotfix?
how can I check that ๐ค
hank might know in #technology-discussion
I'm afraid
There is an interesting video my brother-in-law showed me. It was the last 10 minutes before they turned off the servers for 1.0. The calamity was happening
People were standing there before the cutscene seeing the meteor in the sky

Apparently if you level sync for a fate, non-fate enemies will aggro you that would not if you were not synced
yes
Because at a certain level difference above mobs they will ignore you
But the sync puts you down again, so they will not
So it is not based on original level?
No
your level changed when you synced
Its current level
Are there ever any instances where you are actually synced up from your level for anything at all?
no
Yes, deep dungeons
Deep dungeons and bojza
but that's lvl 80
I was told deep dungeon starts you at level 1
Yes but they have their own progression
Potd/hoh have seperate levels inside of them so you can be higher level depending on floor
yes but you can surpass your original level
Which is faster than leveling outside
Potd floor 51 starts you at 60
So you can be lvl 60 in potd while being around lvl 30 outside of it

Are they trying to be a traditional RPG with deep dungeon? I have seen the classic sprites for saved games and with its own progression and being its own dungeon crawler
See if anything relates to why itโs crashing to desktop right away
problem is that it's not crashing right away I need to close it
it just stays there
so there's nothing :')
alright what I want you to do is to do something called a limited boot
where you basically disable everything from startup
Deep dungeons are basically Roguelikes
Deep Dungeon isnt trying to be a traditional RPG no. Its basically one long dungeon where if you die you start over from the last checkpoint
Every checkpoint being every 10 floors
and is completely randomized
yes
Why isn't there hardly any Final Fantasy IV material in this game? I see references to other final fantasys and the game is loaded with Final Fantasy VII references. We have outfits for other Final Fantasy characters but none for FFIV. Not even Rydia which is basically the female mascot of the game. The only things FFIV related is the opening airship music and antitower final boss
There is some FFIV stuff later on but its basically on the whim of YoshiP of what gets in
It's called limited development time and they can only stuff so many references into this game
And the man LOVES FFIII more than anything else
for good reason
FFIV is my favorite Final Fantasy which not a great deal of people can say
the entire 8 man raids of stormblood are basically one big ff6 reference
And FF5
But it houses one of the most attractive girls in it, adult Rydia
no
Waifu wars banned
guys we're delving kinda off topic
well you don't see tifa in game
I do not find Tifa all that attractive. In fact, Aerith beats her
it's a joke
We have outfits for other Final Fantasy characters but none for FFIV
Monk HW gear is kinda like Yang's stuff, all of the DRK shit is based off of Cecil, IVth legion has some story parallels to FFIV, you also have ||some potential moon plot with a being sealed on the moon|| and that is just to name a few
also tbh this sounds more of a rant than an actual legitimate question
But yea the majority of references in this game are from FF3, 5 and 6
But yea the majority of references in this game are from FF3, 5 and 6
3 and 6 yeah but ehhhh
Maybe it is my taste in women. I prefer Minfilia over Y'shtola and my brother-in-law does not like Minfilia that much
Alright, I'mma stop this woman debate
topic pls
No more
sorry
It's not a question
Did I more excited than I should have when I found Cid? Lol...ok just came late and chimed in, mb
That also isn't a question
Is there a general discussion channel?
Waifu wars are held in #general-discussion
It's...right above this channel my dude
not inaccurate
it worked thank you so much @tender estuary !!!!
yeah np
Moltres you can get Cecils armor from the Digital Collectors Upgrade for Heavensward
Kain's armor is also in the game I believe
Moltres you can get Cecils armor from the Digital Collectors Upgrade for Heavensward
helmet only
there's a kain minion
It pairs well with the box set you get at 60 imo
Kain armor is DRG AF1
There needs to be a Rydia minion. Rydia got absolutely no love in FFXIV
it depends what yoshi p wants to add
I mean it is kinda a popularity contest for what gets in
You want things to sell well so they'll only put things in that a lot of people will consider buying
Just for the record, as much as Yoshi-P is the face of this game and is, at the end of the day, the guy who makes the decisions... not only his ideas make it into the game
There are more people involved
There be a whole writting staff
Exactly
Wrong channel my friend
I needed to destroy one more infernal beacon for Amalj'aa quest and some level 80 jerk destroyed it before I could get to it! Now I cannot complete the quest!! What do I do??
wait for it to respawn?
give it about a minute
WIll it being a quest monster?
Yea they always respawn in a minute or 2
Also there are more than one beacon on the map
Are they always there even when nobody is doing Amalj'aa quests?
yes
It just came back. Thanks
Does the "11 levels above" rule for aggroing also work for A ranks? Like Cornu? I am 19 up

where can you buy a Small Shirogane Castle Walls
AH thanks
What is the logic behind enemies not aggroing you if you are too high level? Like are they afraid of you or something?
Does that matter?
but how do you get the recipe? or does it comes with workshop?
they sense your extreme coolness
but how do you get the recipe? or does it comes with workshop?
gotta get the prototype from the schematic board
gotta get the prototype from the schematic board
@wintry chasmschematic board?
So what do you do with extra triple Triad cards you already own?
Tradw them into the gold saucer for mgp
Cool thanks! I have so many taking up space!
How were people able to ride the cavalry drake into Zahar'ak with aggroing enemies back when it was current? I cannot imagine how that was like. You cannot dismount the drake otherwise you have to start over and the area is full of monsters that will aggro a max level player at that time. You would be defenseless. How did people ever manage? And the drake does not even fly
They just ignored them
being sneaky or running real fast i assume
You can outrun every add in the game
You can outrun every add in the game
unless you got heavy
But that isn't a thing anymore admittedly
It would seem hard to avoid them in the tight squeeze of those areas
just run right through
It would seem hard to avoid them in the tight squeeze of those areas
Really it's not as bad as you think. You could be 1cm away from a mob but so long as you're behind them they won't aggro
Where can I find "Quenching the Flame" and how often does it spawn? This is the first time that the Amalj'aa gave me a fate quest
Just go back to #612757637813239808 and react with your new data center
I'll just give you the role
D:
@teal basin There you go
You can't stop in chocobo races from memory

Is there website with a list of all items and their inventory icons? I am making macros and would like some specific icons
nvm I got it
Is there anything important in Patch MSQs (post ARR) - I been skippin a buncha dialog cause I figured if it was important it'd be in an expansion and not a patch
The patch stuff sets up literally every single expansion
Yes, patch MSQs always tie up some loose ends and set up the next expansion
It's the most important plot in the game pretty much
you won't know WHY you are going to the next expansion. You are skipping context.
I will admit though, that the post ARR MSQs start off a bit slow
But the end is really good
@oblique trellis I should mention that patch MSQ is STILL expansion MSQ
I still have 48 quests to go until HW
That fate happened to have been there right where a different Amalj'aa quest target was. I had to rush defeat it because it had just under three minutes on it. Spamming Fester and pet attacks
It's just not the base story
@oblique trellis the way it works is the x.1-x.3 patches finish the main story line of the xpac while x.4 and x.5 set up the next xpac
They are very important
epilogue
especially the post ARR ones
Literally, and I can't stress this enough, set up the next THREE expansions
Ok what about Blue quests? Can I skip dialog for those?
I wouldn't for the raids
or is that important too somehow
If it's an optional dungeon I guess but come ooon
There are some great stories in there, others not so much
well, I mean like Hildibrand's quest... been skippin a buncha that
Like... do not skip Hildibrand quests
gdi
why do you play this story-based game?
Yeah I've noticed ๐
Skipping Hildibrand goes against the point of doing Hildibrand
Yeah, there is no great reward at the end of it
I just did it cause it's blue, not cause of what it is ๐
Doing them is the fun part
I mean technically you do unlock some trials, yeah
Not important trials
I got the Phoenix Down, I was good, then it kept going
But basically raid and alliance raid quests directly are important to the plot
raids are canon and affect the story
Can't I just go back and see the story in that book inside the inn?
not all of it
Partially
The issue with that is it's only cutscene not all the dialogue
^
Some of the questlines are part of NG+ at this point
But that would mean completely replaying them which you are kinda avoiding right now sooo...
Yeah you really really got the wrong idea about the story in this game
I finally powered through and got past the snore fest that was getting a fucking mining cart. Do I have long left in the MSQ and how much of it is bullshit like getting a fucking mining cart?
I know it's enough. But the fact that dude wants to skip 2.5... Edit: Post-ARR
Eh idk about how much left tbh
well...I have the general gist of the Hildibrand story thus far, so I suppose I can go back to reading
You mean in Shadowbringers I assume? There's still a bit to go
I know it's enough. But the fact that dude wants to skip 2.5...
That has nothing to do with the patch quests tbh
Yea
Where did I get these?
You will go back to Kholusia for a bit and then a whole zone after that
They have ruined it for me with these bullshit quests and storylines
Azys lav and?
Name?
That's just what i call Post-ARR
That mining cart was a joke
Harrowing
Azys Lla and Hinterlands
They have ruined it for me with these bullshit quests and storylines
@timber flame I'm gonna recommend not playing the game then
Shadowbringers is viewed as the best expansion in terms of story by the majority of people
Not saying you're wrong of course, but this game might not be for you
The main story I'm assuming, not the bullshit sidequests
Did any of you enjoy getting a mining cart?
I mean... sidequests are kind of irrelevant for the most part
And I will admit, that part was more on the weaker side of ShB
Sidequests you're forced to do, like getting a stupid mining cart
It's side quest, if you don't want to do it, then fucking don't lol
I don't even remember the minecart stuff, If i had to do it for MSQ it was important and I did it
Doesn't mean it's bad
I don't mean actual sidequests. I mean the pointless quests in the MSQ
they're talking about the stuff you do for Twine
It's the whole ||we gotta get the Talos working again so the doors will open|| stuff
Stuff in the forest before that was pretty muck also
The minecart bit is boring yes
Stuff in the forest before that was pretty muck also
...
Right anyway
I don't know why it took you getting to Shadowbringers to realize you don't like this game

I'm not interested in your canned answers, thanks
Yeah so uh
Dude, I was trying to give you legitimate advice
I want to know how far I'm off from the end
I think Perfect got his answer, people can like and hate what they want
Let's end it
I told you
You are almost finished in your current zone
You have the second part of ||Kholusia ahead of you||
you have until the rest of the game to be done with the MSQ
Sorry, missed it
is there a trick on not letting ur buffs as sam fall off?
@sly rampart how original
Also what Cypher just said is about the base story not the patches on top
i sometimes forget to refresh them when I use Meikyu Shisui
True, there are still 3 patches of story content after that
Honestly Gabe by just paying attention to it a lot
Is 5.1-5.3 not considered base story?
Base story usually refers to the X.0 patches
^
Base story is good - Garleans, Ascians etc.
Most other stuff is crap
Do not refresh buffs with Meikyo Shisui @ionic hazel, for the love of everything
You should check out the Sam rotation @ionic hazel
It's designed to not make them fall off
But other than that, yeah, just pay attention to them and be aware when to start which combo
Then you've got like 3 dungeons left.
and all the stuff that happens in-between the dungeons.
As long as you do the rotation the buffs will not fall off other than long boss transitions
If youโre a healer and you donโt know or remember the mechanics of a primal boss, should you keep attacking still?
im not that dumb
Oh, there will be 1 more section of "meaningless tasks" @timber flame in Kholusia
If youโre a healer and you donโt know or remember the mechanics of a primal boss, should you keep attacking still?
Yes
Just react as stuff happens
Actually, the balance has this nifty sam roation pic, lemme look for it
If I ever find Cornu and I am in gpose with it, will she disappear in gpose if someone slays it?
@ionic hazel
tbh, that pic obviously loses relevance pre 80
Because it assumes the full skillset and decent gear
oh, true, I see skills I don't have yet - well.. the YT vid explains the level 50 opener.. so if you want a link for that @ionic hazel I have it copied ready to dm you (dunno if I can do YT links in here)
is there a way to tell when the bozja dungeon will be up?
Im not even 10 yet but this place is unplayable when it is for those that arent in it
One that, as best we can tell, spawns if there are enough rank 10 players in an instance at the 1 and 2 hour marks
Someone in shout chat told us it was gonna pop in a few mins tho, how did he know that
@glossy flare Do you have one of those Cheat sheets for DRK?
Hello, I'm a solo player and I just wanna ask what's the first end-game content that's going to require me to join an end-game group. I've pugged my way through so far, and I was wondering what the wall is rn.
There is one for the opener, yes
But actually i recommend just checking out the balance
The harder current savage tier fights @errant ginkgo
The ABSOLUTE farthest you can go without a static is Ultimate. Iโve seen the latest Savage pugged.
@glossy flare THANK YOU!!
So right now we have E5-E8S as the current savage tier fights that are relevant and E6S might be a pain pugged but E8S is going to be really really annoying
What is that potion @glossy flare ?
^
you pretty much just use the highest grade potion that boosts your jobs primary stat
I can't remember the last time I used a potion for anything =\
Thatโs for damage optimization. Learn the fight first and when youโre doing enrage prog and stuff you can start using pots to boost damage
Makes sense
To be fair, the potion really is just for absolute optimization of things
Don't bother using them in dungeons for example
When youโre not in super endgame content ignore them yeah
yeah idc about that, if I can finish dungeons without it.. then I prob won't use it
Itโs just a boost to your damage during the opener
Was that last pic a Sam pic too?
No, that was for DRK because someone asked
and are there more pics like the first SAM pic? For like Ninja and stuff?
go there, be enlightened
Some classes have those info graphics, some donโt need em
Yeah those pics are for the more complex rotations/opners
or confused ๐
yeah that's why I was wondering about NIN, not sure I need it on my SCH
Eh, healers don't really have a rotation anyway
They are more situational and dependant on the fight
is that from this discord you sent me to?
Yes
They are all about job optimization
Including gear, rotations, melding and whatever have you
Hey, scholars at least have more complex damage options than White Mages
That is... not hard ๐
Just finished ARR (as WAR) and switched to DRK upon reaching Heavensward. What's the best way to level up DRK so I may continue MSQ as DRK?
Highest level dungeon spam

How could something that my wife is selling on the market board drop 10s of thousands in just a few hours? I logged off so she could check her retainers and prices are significantly lower than they were at 11 AM. It is 2:30 PM
Im in game w no issues, dunno about logging in tho
aw sad doots
Don't log out
my character is literally naked and it kicked me out
I'm just staring at quest text rn while I look through that discord - could be why I'm still in
@calm phoenix dunno if it helps, but if she got the Companion app on her phone, she could check market without you logging
@calm phoenix People undercutting. Some items have become more common thanks to Bozja lockboxes, thus flooding the market and getting cheaper. It could be one of those items.
