I was doing eureka anemos a few weeks ago and there were always plenty of people doing prepping and doing NMs around 7-10pm central
Ok cause I know there are emotes and stuff I wanna try and get
hi! just to make sure, am i required to unlock stormblood alliance raids/do that quest line in order to obtain a resistance relic/weapon?
Yes
okie thank you 
You have to complete the quest line, not just unlock
okie
Did they ever change Eureka to account for less people?
yeah, there’s exp challenge logs and better scaling to account for player pop
Do you have time to elaborate a little?
sure whats up?
Like what do you mean by Challenge Logs?
The challenge log
Eureka has its own section in challenge logs
they give weekly exp and scale well with lvl
stuff like kill 60 of this element, kill night mobs, kill sprites
The Fates/NMs also scale by number of players in the instance
So those are still doable
Plus you have a 150% echo buff to increase your stats by alot inside eureka
Sweet
And how was scaling improved?
they raised the rate in the last Eureka tweaking, to account for more people doin ShB stuff atm
The scaling is the same as its always been
I think?
Fates scale down to be soloable with low people
but basically outside of the zone boss which is still doable with like 4+ people, any fate is doable
especially with the Logos skills
The rates of Crystals outside of Hydasos is doabled and you can buy the Final boss item needed for relics via the crystals
^ since some of the zone bosses are weather and time based
That's a relief. I never got past the first area and was worried I missed my shot when the Front came out
I my level is still in the single digits
Why wasn't cure working on the ally in the hall of novice? I was casting cure and it made the animation for cure and took MP, but the ally was not being healed. I had to do it a second run
Did you remember to target the ally?
Yes.
I do not know what the means. I used the D Pad to target him
That's a soft target
How to hard target and what does that mean?
Hard targeting means you've selected the target as your "permanent" target and your target won't change until you manually change it.
How to do that?
Or turn off soft targetting completely by toggling "switch targrt circle to targry select" on under Character config > general > target
^
Apparently Moltres Rider automatically hard targets but none of my other characters do that. I do not need to press X a second time, I can just change targets. what setting is that because that is what I am used to
Soft targeting is nice for when you're in a group and want to heal someone quickly then snap back to the enemy you were fighting, but it does have a tendency to go wrong on occasion.
To automatically hard target, just follow Vinyl's instructions on changing your settings.
I am doing this training since I never done healer before so I want to get a feel for it
Do you guys know how long it would take to beat post arr now? Friend was considering getting back because of that 4 day free sub but wanted to know how far he could get since last thing he did was thornmarch
Post-ARR (skipping cutscenes) for me was about 20 hours. So figure 30-40 if you actually sit through the cutscenes.
Post 5.3?
Yes
Yeah post ARR def took me about 3 days or so
just finished it Sunday
That wasn't skipping scenes tho
I started a new character specifically so I could time through the redone ARR and post-ARR content.
They really did take a lot of the time consuming and irrelevant stuff out, but 13% is still only 13%.
They only cut out 13% of post arr?
They did? Lordy, I can't imagine what playing through that would've been like
Seemed to drag on already
13% of both ARR and post-ARR
wtf that's like
It used to be a lot grindier
idk
I grinded post arr in one go so I don't remember but still
I really thought they would cut much mroe
more
In addition to what they removed, they also did some little changes to quests they left in, like changing objective locations or reducing the number of steps required.
To make it easier and more streamlined.
how do you get those tickets
to teleport to waking sands
does it give you automatically if you're still in post arr?
Cut quest comparison
anyone know why I can't do expert delivery on my edencall ring?
idk but if they're tradeable and you're on my datacenter, you can gladly have mine
it's max durability and not on gearset
I have 0 need for them, but I was wondering
I'm... not sure. You get them as a reward from completing ARR, but I don't know if you can get them if you've already passed that point.
oh, yeah idk I don't need em either
@acoustic copper I don't think you can turn in edencall gear until we get the next set of raid gear
do Ventures only get me crafting stuff?
Quick ventures sometimes gives minions, glamour gear, housing stuff and other random stuff
alright I'll stick with those then

Hi!
I just wanted to ask for help
I want to create an FC to transfer some items between alts
But i need 3 people to help me out founding the FC
Can someone help me?
probably would be best to mention what world you're in
I've seen ppl make PFs asking ppl to help create an FC for themselves in exchange for some gil
somewhere around 25k-100k per person or something
that's just on light tho
The Chocobo Porter says that you will get a refund if a monster aggros you during transport. What is the likelyhood of that happening?
So it is possible?
You have better odds hitting the jumbo cactpot
maybe... but is getting 50g back really worth it? 😄
No. Just curious on whether it does happen or not
ah, well, I haven't seen it either
Do healers level fast in dungeons or something? My alt gained four levels in Satasha and I have never gained that many on any of my alts. Maybe a level or two, but four, my Cornu character is now ahead in level. She was already two levels up from Satasha
They get the same xp as other jobs, just their ques are generally much faster which makes them level faster over all
Also in my experience low level healers tend to do less damage so you can make the runs go faster with a healer top, compounding the effect
The queue has something to do with how fast they level in a dungeon?
Everything after your first job will get the same exp per dungeon
Only your highest level job will level at a different rate
Faster ques means you can do more dungeons cause you're waiting less
You get the same xp as any other job
I am not talking about a second job, I am talking about an alt character with Conjuerer as a main job (well until RDM)
Same thing
On any character anything under your highest level job for that character gets the armoury bonus
What if there are four jobs tied for the higest level?
Then it's the one with the most exp probably
They dont get armoury bonus
Afaik none get a boost
Or that
Really doesn't matter, since your main focus should be to get one job to level 80 asap
instead of leveling 4-5 at the same time
guys whats perception and GP?
Levelling multiple is fine
Not if you don't have one at max level already. It hinders you gearwise, trying to keep up with multiple jobs.
And you might have issues with story quests if you keep switching jobs back and forth
Perception increase HQ rate when gathering nodes, GP is gathering MP
ohh i see, ok thanks
AST advice, So my tank told me in the last dungeon I was in to stop using earthly star and save it for when I need it, but the cooldown is only 60 seconds, more like 30 after charging it for giants dominance. Most guides I've seen say to use it basically on cooldown, and the charge takes a while so its better to use it early right? Unless you know the boss is gonna do something funky soon
^
Its free healing and damage
Ok so Burger King crown again
I was worried he kept telling me that we were wiping because I wasn't saving it and I was like how??
He's full of himself
Use it whenever you can
It's not even a worthy "emergency" heal
To be saved for only that, that is
It's still a good heal
You probably wiped because he didn't use cooldowns
people will really blame anything huh
Yeah Opp is my panic button
People like that enjoy blaming others
What is the icon at the end of the exp bar? Idk how to answer that question xD
The moon?
yeah
It's to show you're gaining rested xp
The sanctuary icon

what would be the downside of playing on a low pop world
Prob a dumb question, when you bring up teleport, what are the silver stars?
And what exactly does favorite destination do?
From my understanding the home destination juts gives you a free portal when you use return right?
Silver are favored, reduced price to teleport to. Gold is your free teleport destination, separate from home. Home is for return/dead.
cheaper teleport rates
since you can queue with the whole data center, it doesn't matter much if your world is low pop. maybe harder to find an fc that you like?
Is there a limit to how many favored you can have?
Yes, I forget the exact number because you get an extra one for using OTP
Actually I might have that wrong
I think the otp gives you a gold star for a free locstion
OTP gives a free teleport destination
I think the app gives an extra favored teleport
Yea that might be what I was thinking of
the only good use of the app..
trying to decide which world to play on eu
They're all fine
source?
plus you mingle with the whole data center through party and duty finder so you can't really go wrong
Server choice doesn't matter with world visit and all instances being cross world
i hit level 80 with a character but i skipped through everything and there was a months break
now i want to restart and actually play the story
New game plus will let you replay the story without starting from scratch
is the arr included in that
yeah
I believe it is now
it wasnt last time i checked i think
so unless you dislike your character for some reason, new game+ is a good deal
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
ill think about this
🤔 how long would it take to play through everything again with preferred world exp boost
is there like an estimate
where do i find the lvl 80 role quest?? or do i have 2 get 2 a certain point in shb 4 it 2 come up
As a healer, what is the balance between healing an attacking? I was told in Tom Tara that I could attack more
it's all personal really
You dps as much as you can, heal when you're required to heal
yep pretty much that
What level depends in comfort level
People dony need to be at 100%
People only need enough hp to survive the next attack
I was told that it was not necessary to keep the tank and everybody at 100% all the time.
Thats true
Most healers let people drop down to 30% or lower
Depending on the incoming damage
Someone said 50% in the dungeon
Damage in this game is extremely scripted and highly predictable
It all depends on youe comfort levels, your available tools and the incoming damage
I remember having done Soul Without Life on as a Paladin, do I need to still do the same quest again as a DrK?
ok thanks
You need to do everything again on another job for other relics
It is an adrenaline rush healing. The fate of the party is in my hands

Is the red part accessible? or is Kugane as far east as you can get?
Nope, my understanding is that all of that (not just the circled part) is Hingashi and Kugane is the only place they allow outsiders to visit
Kugane is as far east as we’ve gone currently
any further east and you approach Meracydia, which is still reeling from the shitstorm of the allagan war in the third era iirc
No
Greetings! Is there a way to hide the "default" viera headgear? I thought it was impossible but I'm randomly running into characters who don't show it (see pic). What am I missing?
what do you mean "default" headgear
there’s a icon at the bottom of your character window (hot key C) that allows you to disable the visuals of headgear
if that’s what you mean
viera can't wear most hats anyway
By default headgear I mean the black thing that's part of your starting armor but that actually isn't a piece of armor:
doh
will try that right now 😄
somehow I picked the only hair style that shows it at character creation 🤣
@remote lintel Thank you very much!
is there a guide for gathering collectables?
!faq dolcollect
were we given a date on pt2 of the 5.4 live letter?
December
that doesn't sound right
I would assume middle to late november
december is when the actual patch is coming out

You can buy a couple of cosmetic things with the clusters. Also the priority queue thing for CEs and CLL.
Clusters for giant...hair...the fragments for Manawall/dispel for duels....selling the items for money...also gets you relic memories
Hey I have all the memory crystals but it won't let me advance the quest for the resistance weapon
Put your weapon in your inventory
You need to have the weapon not equipped
Wow
Even tho the quest says equipped lol
OK
No prob
And gangos doest have a fast travel right?
Quickest is Doman enclave then aetheryte over
At what level will I need the newest expansion? (I don't have any yet)
Alright thanks!
to be more specific, the free story ends at the level 60 story quests
ARR is 1-50 HW is 50-60 SB is 60-70 SHB is 70-80
you can (and will) probably have multiple level 60 jobs by the time you get there
and shadowbringers is the latest one right?
yes
yes
also you can't earn exp if your class hits 60, regardless of where youre at in the story
Alright thank you
So i'm looking at other places to buy the newest expansion, and it says "Requires the base game FINAL FANTASY XIV Online Starter Edition (A Realm Reborn) on Mog Station in order to play. Product is not compatible with the Steam version of the game."
I don't have the game on steam so that's not an issue, but the first part is what I don't really get
you need to own the base game to buy dlc
steam is a separate license
you can't just buy dlc without the base game
many people recommend against registering your license with steam

So the version i have is the free version
yeah i don't have it on steam
so if i buy a subscription
You dont own anything on trial
if you want all of ff14, you need the starter + shadowbringers (or the complete edition which is just both bundled together)
if you're on free trial then you buy either the starter + shb or the complete
theyre both the same things
ohh and i can activate that through the mog station?
yes
to my "free" account
they give you a code and you enter it into mog
one thing to note is that if you buy the starter edition then you have to start paying the monthly fee
You dont own the starter edition on trial, so you would need to get that or complete edition stated above
You cant use dlc for a game you dont own
also, the starter and the trial contain the same amount of story content/levels
the starter just lets you in on the communication aspects that are restricted in the trial
i.e. being able to form parties, trade people, join guilds etc.
we need a "what do i buy" faq
Alright I think i get it (mostly)
thank you!
I'll look to buy the starter edition + shadowbringers
and then pay the monthly fee
my advice is to play the free trial
you have plenty of time before the end of the level 60 quests to make a decision
unless you really want to be able to trade other people or join a free company (guild)
but if you do want to buy the game then what you said is correct
You can't buy outfits though on the free trial either right?
no you cant use the cash shop
not currently
they do plan on letting free trial users buy through the cash shop in the future, though
i don't even think you can use the marketboard (auction house) on free trial
Nope
right
They cant
yeah so as far as outfits go you're stuck with whatever trash the story gives you
and what the NPC vendors sell
theres plenty of ways to get outfits besides the mb
And crafts
They already added in the ability for free trial players to buy things from the online store
It's just not everything
From what I understand they can buy anything that doesn't specify they need to have the game registered but I would have to google more to see

But it's listed in the free trial restrictions and things they can do
Can you get bitter memories drops from regular mobs in Bozjan or only skirmishes and CE? I've been in there for hours and got only 2 :/
anything regarding the relic weapon is faster completed outside of bozja
farming regular mobs can be faster if you have a group
if you can get 24 people together, bozja is faster
sure but it sounds like he isn't doing it with a group
you can get memories from regular mobs
yeah so join a big group or run antitower 4 times
Cluster farm groups are most or less the way
Ok, thank you. I know you can do 60 dungeons but figured I'd try the front itself. Doesn't seem time effective solo though
oh wait, bitter memories is the first step?
Last
how do i fish for the qitari tribe quests? doesnt seem like you can fish in the water under the tree village
yes, you can also get it in level 60 dungeons
Thank you
You get the bait needed from vendors in the area then they mark the map where you fish
Are the lvl 60 dungeons better or are the drop rates in bozjon decent?
Its like fish worms or something
get the bait at the quest giver?
With a group farming mobs, Bojza can be faster
Ontop of getting memories for step one at the same time
Bait from general merchanta
Copy
I've been casually farming bojza trying to spawn duels and i got like 30 bitters and 40 sorrowful
level 60 dungeons is better if you are going at it solo
And i solo spawn them
The Lozatl is on the other side of the map
hmm wonder why it opens this when i click it
There's usually a marker for those dailies on the map iirc
so i'm trying to do the "believe in your sylph" quest but
doing /lookout doesn't do anything
You might need to be standing directly on top of the shiny spot
ahh ty ty!
is there a way for me to turn off skirmish music
job quests?
below the msq bar
and yeah i needed to be DIRECTLY on top haha, thanks!!
That bit in the top left that says Trial by Earth. Anytime anything appears in that spot, you should give that priority
And at 31 you should have already become a white mage, you need to do job quests to do that
Not sure if they've done Sylph Management
Hey! So I went to pay my sub, but I used a new card so it took 1e out
After that, payment failed so I had to pay the 1e again, but this time it worked
Will I get my 2e back? 🤔
Nope, didn't get anything back after 5 hours
Ah, oki. Thanks!
At what rank can I do castrum in Bozja?
10
Then said quest allowa you to buy the gear when you're done
The level 25 Conjurer job quest instanced battle is impossible at that level. All the monsters spam AoEs all over the place killing the conjurers and eventuallyme
Which I am trying to do but 90% of the fight is dodging AoEs. I could get barely one cure in
learn slidecasting
^
or put it on very easy
oh
kill the taint before the npcs die
seems ez ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Not when nine things lay AoEs at once when trying to heal
I cannot let anybody die and NPCs are low because they just stand in AoE
what is the best tank for getting 16 vuln stacks
none of them
I was told the other day that I should not rely on Medica
i said use it i didnt say spam it
Literally stop healing them
You just dont use it to heal one guy
You're failing because you're not doing enough damage
you can also use repose
From my experience, Repose is removed after a couple seconds
Repose is removed when damage hits them
sleep is removed when the enemy is attacked
It has a 30 second duration otherwise
sleep the other enemies and focus on one or something
Reduced as subsequent casts hit the same target
you also have fluid aura unless the enemies are just standing still
Is that the one that binds a target? It seems to have a short timer
yet long cooldowm
yes but its instant and can stop attacks
I have yet to see it stop attacks. I have used it on a few wild spawns
it stops attacks that require movement
thats why i said "unless theyre just standing still"
can u not store things in the flame armoire?
its just furniture
yes

!item armoire
i saw that on the mb
Glam dresser is different
and figured it came in different flavors for the GC
Because it doesnt have a limit on what items a player can have in it
It kind of does
Whereas every player will either have or not have the list of items in the armoire
The only real limit for the glamour dresser is non-replica relics
Ah
Im aware 400 is max
Also still wishing all the character accessories could go in the armoire -_-
Like what?
If you mean belts those don’t have a visual model and are usually tied to the chest or legs of their set.
Behemoth Earring, Cactuar Earring, Moogle Earring, Maneshiba Choker, Cait Sith Choker, etc
...I’m pretty sure at least the behemoth ones can go in.
Nope

None of them can
And they’re all only given once, originally tied to Tokyo Game Show. They’d put up the moogle vendor in the cities to sell just the one item for a couple weeks
They then switched to the mog tomes, with the character accessories being the most expensive purchase
With the Cait Sith Choker being an exception, but it has a limit on the currency to get it
I finished shadowbringers today, I feel lost, I want to unlock more content, where do I start? If anyone could help, it would be amazing
!faq contentunlock
Most of the post 80 content is just msq
@obsidian patio Thank you!
What all do we even have for post 80 again? Sorrows of Werlyt for a couple trials, Save the Queen for Relics and Bozja stuff, Nier for the 24 mans, Eden for the 8 mans, and Twinning and the Academia(sp) dungeons?
With anything else being unlocked in msq, right?
I mean, it's not like that's not a lot of stuff?
Unreal trials
The level 80 things locked behind the MSQ are just four or five dungeons at this point. Nothing else.
Although I guess technically you have to finish at least 5.0 to unlock all the rest.
Unreal trials shouldn’t really be counted
Since they’re going to cycle out fights every patch
With Shiva going away in December with 5.4
They're... still level 80 content though? It's just rotating level 80 content.
Still have to be 80 to do them and get the rewards
theyre not even done adding stuff
to get the reward? nope don't need to be 80
you can get it with 3 lines in wondrous tails
Not really, farm enough gil and a level 70 can just buy the rewards
3 lines of wondrous tails for a gold certificate for the mount, 2 2 lines for the silvers for the choker, and market board for the minion
If anything they’ll probably just be upping the amount of faux leaves you get for the tiles in faux hollows
While making the next fight more lenient
80 to get the faux leaves then. It might be optional, but so is some of the other 80 content.
how rare are the legendary metals?
how does a perpetual garden work?
@blazing cipher from my personal experience about a 20-25% drop rate
@leaden ginkgo basically you harvest one crop type from the garden and replace it with another or the same one
You basically never have a completely empty garden to take advantage of cross breeding
ty wynne
If you harvest the entire garden one of the seeds will never crossbreed since it’s decided at the time of planting
Harvesting half ensures all seeds can crossbreed
wait but cant u just remove the first seed and replant
You only ever lose out on one crossbreed when setting it up
that whole strategy
Yes, but it matters more for crosses where both seeds are expensive
did GE upload all the castrum armor as of now
gotcha, rn im crossing coerthan tea leaves and dzmael tomatoes
for cloudsbreath
the tea leaves are pretty cheap
so in this case should i pluck it all?
also, aren't i losing out on profit if i don't take out each crop either way? all crops have a chance of giving me cloudsbreath. So, perpetual gardens would technically have a lower profit but lower risk. Is that right?
also less maintenance for whatever that's worth
Yep!
perfect thank you, im looking for max profits so ill just replant all the seeds
also are there any gardening buffs / foods at all
Nope, just the topsoils
or is it all in the soil
kk
okay, harvested and got a bunch of cloudsbreath seeds
now i just plant these seeds using la noscean soil since it gives better yield right?

why is it so hard to get rid of training dummy aggro?
wym
I have to run halfway across the the goblety just to get rid of aggro from my perdonal dummy
right click it and click reset aggro
yes?
It was changed in 5.3 so it's a pretty recent thing
I see
is there anyway to take photos/gpose in the arena that's the final stage of the tsukiyomi fight?
Is it possible to change cursor size via macro?
My full squadron is 60 now, what should I focus on getting for them now? % chance to get materia/scrips/MGP/gil + chemistry trigger rate? I suppose there’s no use going for stat increases as the lvl 50 missions require almost perfect alignment
anyone knows where the "try on" keybind is in the settings?
for some reason it unmapped for me
Is there a way to still get yellow scrips if you're level 80 on your crafter?
u could turn in on a non lvl 80 i guess
:p
u can craft it on ur lvl 80, and turn it in on anything under lvl 80
and still get the xp/scrips
Really? How do I decide what level it is?
Or wait, do you mean use a custom delivery vendor other than kai shirr?
Custom deliveries still give yellow scrips at 80
Oh, do you get both yellow and white then?
Yes
You get white instead of the xp
A question: It says the four free login days end on 11:59pm local time on the fourth day. So to get the full 96 hours, I should first login after midnight local time to begin a first full day tomorrow, correct?
what free login days
There's a new login campaign
And yeah if you wanted to do it that way it would work that way
i would imagine it doesnt matter too much when you start the timer if you're not going to be playing at like 1 am
You ovestimate how responsible I am about my sleeping schedule.
Pretty much just pick the 4 days you'll be able to spend the most time on it
They appear randomly in nodes
what are some ways to get allegory that aren't hunt trains or expert/other roulettes
trying to mix it up this week
spamming the 2 lvl 80 dungeons
may as well just do expert roulette
bozja
Maps, Bozja (even though it sucks for tomes)
My full squadron is 60 now, what should I focus on getting for them now? % chance to get materia/scrips/MGP/gil + chemistry trigger rate? I suppose there’s no use going for stat increases as the lvl 50 missions require almost perfect alignment
@fallow juniper are you on the free trial ?
hmm bozja might be a good idea
how easy is samurai?

Are you supposed to waste rep points with HW beast tribes?
The quests are always 50
And the rep levels are like 360 and stuff
Hey guys..im searching for an app with timer..i know there is one ingame but this one is very incomplete i think..for example gold saucer tickets etc
@cedar compass yes you will waste points at some rank ups
@spare plinth I’d say around as easy as Dragoon IMO
What does +150% mean and what am I getting it from?
Bonus exp
I'm using the Ala Mhigan earrings that say 30% and I have an FC buff that says 10%
So Armoury Bonus from leveling an underleveled job from your max-leveled job
Armoury Bonus is usually the main bonus
Armory is 110%?
no armoury is 100 for 1-69, 50% for 70-80
The Armoury Bonus is additional experience granted to any combat class you have that is NOT your highest level class. From levels 1-69, you receive +100% additional experience for secondary classes that are lower level than your highest level class. At level 70, this bonus decreases to only 50%.
so where is the other 10% coming from?
Magic, who knows
FC buff?
Already mentioned
I have FC buff and Ala Mhigan earrings for a total of 40%.
There's not even anything else listed on there that gives 10% lol
Does the squadron battle manual stack with the things I'm using?
Hello, Is there a tool that can help me with the hunt ?
to find the mobs locations
ok thanks , about different xpacs hunts, Is there like a hunt board in every city ?
Yes
yes
ok noice, thank you
Are there any Viera or Ronso Squadron members?
any idea why I can't view the Nuts board in Crystarium? I just unlocked the Hunt thingy, do I need to do something from the grand company, is there something I need to do first?
no @crisp quartz
@robust crow thank you!
So would you say its best to have 2 tanks, 2 healers and 4 DPS? For my members?
How long do you have to be playing to no longer be considered a sprout or novice? When do you become a returning player?
the exact requirements are 168 hours playtime and completion of stormblood postquests
@crisp quartz that's what I personally run but it depends on what you want to do with the squadron
@north venture You need to unlock Clan Centurio hunts in Idyllshire and Kugane first. Once you have all hunts open, the unlock for Clan Nutsy should open in Crystarium.
@robust crow thank you!
wtf
if you do command dungeons a lot then you want an archer or arcanist as the DPS
ok Eton, is there like a regular hunt board for ShB ?
is it normal to get 3 second chances in a row in the aquapolis
if you only care about squadron missions then just make whatever classes you want that complement the stats you need for the mission
Can you upgrade them to Jobs or they stay as classes? I mostly use them to run dungeons with me
squadron AI is braindead as fuck
the only ones that aren't awful are archer and arcanist
Squadrons don't upgrade
They're massively overpowered to compensate.
@north venture There is, yes, but you need to unlock hunts in HW and SB first.
Lol yeah but it helps with your leveling up!
all the melee DPS don't hit the mob half the time
ok thanks Eton
casters hardly cast
You can clear with a leveled up squadron faster than average player parties without the queue.
is there a way to take an FFlogs log thats set to unlisted and make it open, i just realised all my clears are private 
Cool! Thank you! I noticed the healers only heal when you have less then 30% health
It's not that they only heal you then. It's that their AI kind of winds up.
yes @rotund sable you can go to your logs page and toggle it
During the stormblood storyline you get the ryumaku items as you complete the quest. Should you still aim for the scaevan set?
Yes
yes
Scaevan is stronger
poetics are plentiful
pick up what pieces of scaevan you can with poetics
oh i see
Well again! Thank you guys for all the info!
but you dont need to go out of you way for a full set
Make sure you're setting these if you decide to grind with squads too. They're very strong.
you get tons of poetics anyway
dropping 2-3k for a whole scaevan set is hardly a setback
from where?
doing lvl 50+ content
oh yea
i do 50/60/70 roulette and msq roulette to get some tombstones
i might do aetherchemical but dancer and blm are my only 60+ jobs
and samurai is easy?
sure
if you haven't started on the alexander or omega raids yet
you're going to get new-player bonus for every single one of them
that's 100 poetics per clear
if you're doing strictly just msq, you're not gonna get enough to buy a full set
which is why i say not to go out of your way to buy a full set
if you're already doing 50-70/msq as part of your daily routine, then its whatever
50/60/70 roulette isn't very good exp FYI
it does give a nice chunk of poetics though
leveling, MSQ, and alliance raids are the best ones to do for exp
frontline isn't bad either if you can stomach it
Yeah Netflix Roulette is both good exp and poetics
then trials/normal raid roulette is short and easy so most just do those anyway
alliance raid?
Yeah the 24 mans
have you unlocked alliance raids?
You can do them daily
Yeah just that
if you're running alliance roulette, what do you do, keep moving?
Its also fast DPS queue
better than 506070
if you keep getting labyrinth of the ancients then just do whatever
keep people alive
try to dps
try not to die
standard stuff
Yeah mostly just try not to die
usually when i do msq roulette i refrain from attacking because for some reason healers always attract trash pulls
you should try to do damage
Just keep DPS, you usually can't die
Yeah they can't even touch you if you just holy
heal if necessary, though it usually isn't
I've gone entire praetoriums without healing anyone
sometimes it's just that easy
Or just pop a oGCD when tanks are panicing
also you may want to go unlock the stormblood alliance raids
Nothing really matter
for roulette?
because that quest line is needed for your level 80 relic weapon
and also the raids in stormblood are incredible
^^^
especially if you like FF Tactics or FF12
ff14 is my first and only ff game
ill probably stick with crystal tower
should i also do other raids like alexander and omega
absolutely
you'll wanna do the alliance raids from stormblood if you wanna do the current relic tho. and it's not just relic it's an entire storyline that isn't available if you don't
so do omega?
i mean i'd do all
they all add story and several unlock other things or add context
there's no harm in doing them all
Yeah just keep doing them
ok ill check it out
so alliance like sky pirates and lost royal city?
the level 60 alliance raid is the void ark series
the level 70 alliance raid is the ivalice/FFT series
you know how there were old healing skills like "cleric stance" and "protect"? why did yoshi p removed them
im curious
does anyone know if you can transfer a PS4 account over to a PC account?
the short answer is game design @spare plinth
one way or another, ff14's design team didn't like the way it was so they changed it
Dang... ok that sucks.
I'm sure other people can give a more detailed answer
because OG clerics stances was super unfun
and protect was basically tedious busywork
yeah do you really want to spend like 10 seconds casting a spell on each party member every new dungeon
Cleric stance was fun 😔
Any EUs on Light awake? I want to do the Hydra ARR trial for the relic, but queue times are killing me! I was hoping someone high level would do it with my unsynched.
Hi guys, does anyone know if you can get pets as a free trial user and how do you get pets
the ARR relic gives you some unique trials
you can get them from a bunch of places
like the chimera
The Hydra trial!
that too
I'm on the trial so I can only get to 60!
The hydra and chimera are in the trial roulette
ask in your local novice network
I'll try asking there, thanks.

how to get those enlistments with unique outfits? I keep getting alimhaus from goldsaucers
Don't think too hard about them and the desire sensors won't kick in
When do the grindy lvl 50 quest end? Im bored out rn -_-
I have to deliver a weapon grate to yuyuhase
what's the name of the quest
when you reach heavensward
Yuyuhase? You're getting close to the end.
Cant tell name of the quest cause i play in german
oh..
@gloomy ice praise the "insert what ever u want" 😂
You have 21 more MSQ until HW
then 19 or so HW quests until you hit a lvl 51 quest
(all MSQ, not counting primals and towers)
@oblique trellis im playing now a month on ARR..god damn..are the others also that "teleporty"?
unless the primals are part of the msq
That I don't know, I just got in to HW myself not that long ago
Post patch quests in expansion are shorter but more cutscenes
I dunno if this is a spoiler... but you'll eventually come to a quest that lets you know a bunch of cutscenes are about to happen, and you should wait until you have sufficient time to watch them all.....
grab some popcorn cause it's about to get good
So is it recommended to read the quests from now on to get "the good story" started?
How do I make a certain window bigger? I have seen people do it but I cannot figure it out.
L3 on controller when the cursor has it selectes
Should have done that 50 levels ago 💩
any idea what the chance youll get the rare mat is when you have optimal desynth rating
@oblique trellis saved my day
L3 is not doing anything
When the cursor has it selected
@elder matrix well, no unfortunately
I got yelled at for skipping quest dialog and stuff cause it literally sets up the expansion
Controller on Windows instructions please
Its thr exact same
If I crit multiple times in one AOE skill on Monk, do I get multiple chakra?
Controller controls the same on windows and console
There is no touchpad on my controller
Then whatever button you use to cycle through your windows
Well. It depends. If you want to know the story and lore skipping stuff is bad xD. And many people play ff14 because of Story
It is select but that only cycles through windows
R3 not L3
Well if you changed it in bindings sure
I have not. L3 has always been sheath/draw weapon
its right stick vinyl
Well he has it now so 🤷♂️
thats how all classes are
well I mean bein lvl 60 doin Fates 20 and below.. I just have 1, 2 and mug lol
you have trick attack and dream within a dream and assassinate
and all your ninjutsu
not when I'm synced at lvl 20 and below'
thats how it is for basically all jobs when they're sync to 20 and below
oh i thought you meant lvl 60 fates
Is there a way to do Fates unsynced? (boom turned it in to a question)
no
no
Rng is rng
15 minimum
is it still possible to pay for my sub with steam? according to a friend he cant
and mounts, dunno if those fall in to your cosmetic group tho.. to me they're not 🙂
and that worries me
you have to buy the game thru steam
They all do the same thing
in order to use steam wallet to pay for sub
Fair enough
k thanks, problem solved
is it just me or does GNB not have a lot of actions?
just hit 70
that's when you unlock your continuation combo
Are the glowy haired horsey mounts from an EX? If so which
they're from ARR extremes
should definitely feel quite a bit busier now
I have seen female characters in bathing suits but nothing comes up on the market board for bathing suit,. Nothing comes up for just "suit"! Does anybody know what the problem could be?
Any (sans Mog) of them?
there are tons of bikinis
you just missed the summer event where everyone got a free bikini
Bikini says "no matching items" 😦
there's the endless summer set
summer morning set
black summer set
uhh the halter/tanga you get for having been subbed to the game for some time
Not coming up
Still not coming up
omg you can cpose when sitting.... yesss...I hated that default sit
Summer morning is not tradeable
But nothing you said so far has came up
I see dozens of different ones each day on people but you are obviously giving me incorrect search terms
are you searching on market? cause if they're untradeable they wouldn't be there
moonfire , couerl beach, coronal summer
are like the only tradeable swimsuit outfits
has anyone here done the aetir lux relic missions?
wondering what the fastest way is to get the resources in anima stage
hunts or poetics?
Courel summer does not come up
I mean Coronal. Coronal Summer does not come up
just go to marketboard and search for all the level 1 chestpieces
did you actually turn on the partial search
yes, it is dyeable
That is the only one that came up and it is just the bottom piece
you can look at the item's tooltip and it will tell you
There is no bra for it? Just a bottom piece?
end game 80 correct?
dude
yes david, endgame is 80
but if you are searching in market
just search the major word
"moonfire" and I got all that
"summer" and I got all this
Just get the cascadier uniform voucher from the achievement dude
Dyeable and simple
black swimsuit you get from cascaider uniform isn't dyeable
The Coronal Summer looks like a tapestry
Isn't it? Damn OK
Best method for getting memories?
Sea breeze summer halter is not dyable?
look at the tooltip
if it doesn't have a circle like shown here, then its not dyeable
if it does, it is dyeable
hey what's the fastest way to grind poetics?
also can we buy the items needed for relics on market?
For Anima the only tradeable tokens are the Kingcake, Titanium Alloy Mirror, Adamantite Francesca, and Dispelling Arrow
Not counting the trade-in stuff for the Crystal sands
Is bozja post shadowbringers?
I think 5.2 too
southern front requires 5.1 completed
What expansion is anima in?
heavensward
Nice
Why is "Dragoon Blue Dye" an arm and a leg on the market board?
Because it can only be purchased with skybuilder's scrips in the firmament
So people take advantage of those who don't go and buy it there
How does one get these scripts?
to buy it
ishgard restoration
Yep just participate in the restoration
sky scrips are a reward for things you do in it
@obsidian patio I was thinking of just buying all of the materials using tomestones
What dye would you recommend for the moonfire bottom to match Cornu blue? https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/File:Cornu_pic_1.png
#glamour-discussion might be a better place to ask
But sometimes it can take a couple hours to get a response in that channel and it is getting late
It does not seem as monitored as this channel
Nobody is answering me anywhere, including on Reddit
The game has a dye preview option if when you right-click dyable gear
Or context menu on controller (whatever its called)
You're probably not going to find anything super close but you can try royal blue or grape purple
Depending on what you're dyeing
Possibly Abyssal Blue as well
Weird question, on your chocobo companion it lists current color, can you change your GC chocobos color or swap it out?
You can feed it special fruits to change its color
what happens to the crafter name on my clothes if i name change?
The game has a dye preview option if when you right-click dyable gear
@strange coral Well I bought a female items so I could not dye preview it. I was going to put it in the company chest so my female alt could retrieve it. I bought glam that this she cannot afford yet
I want to say that it won't change name
This is just me making a guess based on what I think how the name is stored in the crafted gear
hey guys, i just needed some help in how to gear up. Im currently level 74 and im at the start of 3.4 (like half way through dragonsong war), how do i get ilevel 400 stuff without just spending all my gil in the market place? Also i haven't done anything DoL stuff so that probably doesn't help
