Consolegameswiki is it?
hazy sinew
It says it isn't convertible
leaden current
guys so I'm just starting shadowbringers, when can I get the new augmented crystarium equips?
obsidian wren
yeah
kind eagle
samurai need determination?
glossy flare
@leaden current After the 5.0 MSQ I think
kind eagle
i copying from the balance
glossy flare
that should unlock the required tomestones
kind eagle
so i just go for determination?
fresh lodge
Yes
tidal yarrow
how long will the gold saucer event last for?
fresh lodge
Its most likely melded with det due to Crit and DH already being capped
kind eagle
oh
twilit arch
til nov 20th @tidal yarrow
tidal yarrow
do I get extra mgp even with fashion rep
twilit arch
yep
tidal yarrow
holy
kind eagle
How long will bozja be?
calm phoenix
Acolyte's Robe. Is that purchaseable on the market board? That is the shared model
fresh lodge
Acolyte's Robe isn't dyable
verbal rune
so, just to be clear, it's impossible to get some old event stuff anywhere else, right?
calm phoenix
Garlond Tools showed a dye icon
glossy flare
each item on garlond tools has a "sources" tab
twilit arch
no it does not
glossy flare
Which will tell you its... source
twilit arch
its shows a materia, a crest, and a dresser icon
calm phoenix
You are right. I was looking at the one next to it. the healing robe
twilit arch
cashmere/direwolf robes are the dyeable versions
calm phoenix
The Direwolf one
fresh lodge
Yes the Direwolf one
kind eagle
@fresh lodge
twilit arch
direwolf is from pvp
fresh lodge
Yes hi
kind eagle
twilit arch
cashmere is crafted and can be bought from marketboard
kind eagle
edenchior boot is like this
glossy flare
You'd probably get a better answer for that in the balance tbh
calm phoenix
How much MGP does one need minimum in order to be able to buy something worthwhile?
glossy flare
it's all cosmetics
fresh lodge
Define worthwhile?
glossy flare
so "worthwhile" is highly subjective
calm phoenix
not junk basically
glossy flare
it's all junk if you think it is ugly
kind eagle
glossy flare
🤷
fresh lodge
Thats still incredibly subjective
kind eagle
I just copy this pic tbh
glossy flare
Just go over to the gold saucer and talk to the NPCs selling stuff
it's not like it's hard, it is literally one port away
Then you'll see if you want something or not
If an item can not be previewed use garlond tools (or just google if that fails)
@kind eagle That pic is from the BiS link in the balance
So if you want detailed answers for why stuff is the way it is, chances are you're gonna have more luck over there
kind eagle
What determination gives
glossy flare
Not that I don't want to help you but I'm no theorycrafter
calm phoenix
Does Garlond Tools show barding, housing items, regular items, and all that too? Or just gear?
twilit arch
its a databases so its show basically everything
glossy flare
det increases dmg and healing
magic wren
NIN uses str plus dex?
calm phoenix
MGP Exchange at entrance? Or is there other NPCs that sell stuff for MGP?
magic wren
Okay thanks. I figured, I wasn’t even hitting hard lol
glossy flare
there's a campaign attendant a bit off to the side
which is for the event
it has the same items but at reduced prices
buy there
calm phoenix
I have 9,298 MGP but it says that I have less than 500 and will not let my buy anything
raw solstice
for dh vs det, the value ends up being relatively similar. And it will matter what tiers you're hitting, and overall contribution towards the damage multiplier, for the total stats from the whole set. So in some cases, you end up going for det where you could fit more dh, simply because it ends up being stronger@kind eagle
it's a bit of a nuanced thing
fresh lodge
You're probably talking to the NPC that you buy MGP from
glossy flare
^
calm phoenix
MGP Exchange
glossy flare
No
ffs Moltres, why are you ignoring what people tell you?
There is the Prize Exchange which is the regular NPC to buy stuff from
Or
As I said
The campaign attendant a little off to the side, which is for the event
Same items, reduced prices, buy there
calm phoenix
I did not see that. Must have missed it. Going back, I see it
I see a "chief attendant" but not a Campaign Attendant. Map please? Thanks
calm phoenix
Okay. Hard to see with all the people
fresh lodge
If you press X, it hides player names
glossy flare
unless you rebound it of course, a lot of people do afaik
calm phoenix
X just targets for me
glossy flare
then look it up in the controlls at some point, it's a useful button to have
exactly for stuff like this
fresh lodge
Oh well I meant X on keyboard, not controller
calm phoenix
Why has it been the "Leap of faith" gate three times in a row?
kind eagle
oh
glossy flare
because random things are random
Honestly, you ask that kind of question a lot
Eh, I should walk away I'm too annoyed
Sorry.
calm phoenix
So what events that occur is random too?
fresh lodge
Yes
open ember
GATES are fun but its ok if you dont do well at them
Also dont forget
To do your challenge log for Gold Saucer
Great source of MGP
calm phoenix
Is there a reason why the jump button is disabled when I am in Leap of Faith. I test it out at the start and works fine but when I really need it, it seems disabled
open ember
Shouldn't be disabled
calm phoenix
I ran off the edge like eight times because it did not jump when I hit triangle
I even tried taking it slow. I see why my wife struggled earlier when she was on
raw solstice
you're probably running off the edge slightly before you're pressing jump, trying to jump at the last second
calm phoenix
Is Gates every 20 minutes because of the event or are they always every 20 minutes?
strange coral
Always
calm phoenix
Is "Leap of Faith" any easier with less people? There is a huge crowd because of the event
crisp ether
might be slightly easier with less people to distract but
it shoulndt be that much of a difference
calm phoenix
My brother-in-law did an airplane shooter game a few weeks ago. I cannot find it. Is that a gate? You hit targets
open coral
If everyone is on the same map there might be a little bit more server lag than usual, but unless you're on PS4 or playing on a dc that isn't on the same continent as you, it shouldn't really affect you too much.
That's a GATE, yes
crisp ether
yeah it's a gate called air force one
calm phoenix
So that one is not random?
open coral
None of them are truly random

open coral
I mean, if you want to go that far, I'd say that technically speaking even the costumes on the figures that exist of the Scions are spoilers since they're their ShB costumes...
storm stone
Ye i guess
verbal rune
so, is there a chance that ffxv event will repeat next year, or I'd better wait for Noctis clothes/a replacement in Mog shop?
open coral
There is a better than even chance that the XV event will show up at some point next year.
glossy flare
bringing back the XV event is a really popular request and the devs are aware
So yeah, chances are good
calm phoenix
Cliffhanger is almost identical to Leap of Faith but easier. I was actually able to complete it
verbal rune
ok, cool
I mean, It seems that Noctis jacket is literally the only jacket with short sleeves in game
open coral
It's not?
storm stone
So the noctis car will be obtainable again ?
glossy flare
Not quite true 😄

calm phoenix
When it says that I received 4,500 (+50%) MGP, is 4500 the actual amount that I obtained or is it 4,500 + 2250 basically?
open coral
4500 should be the total.
calm phoenix
Is spamming gates every 20 minutes the best way to earn MGP?
faint flare

wispy parcel
Fashion report gives you a crap ton
open coral
FR is worth like, 50k
calm phoenix
But fashion report requires you to be in possession of the gear it is looking for does it?
verbal rune
oh, yeah. MGP prizes are the same until the end of the event, right?
glossy flare
Yes, though if you follow the guide by Kaiyako it's pretty easy go get at least 80k each week
strange coral
Most weeks you can do it with vendor gear and dyes
Low level gatherer/crafter gear that has no class restriction
calm phoenix
Where is this guide

it's for last week though
this week's guide is probably due tomorrow
They always need some time to test out the combinations
Bless them btw
north venture
can I make the yokai weapons glow ?
faint flare
No
calm phoenix
Any advice for Slice is Right? I misjudged the pillars first slice and fell right away
north venture
so is glowing an option or there only natural glowing weapons ?
faint flare
Only specific weapons glow
Primarily crafted primal weapons and steps of relic weapons
north venture
ok, I Will check them out, thanks Vinyl
calm phoenix
I fell of and the pillar was like 10 feet from me! What gives?
open rivet
@calm phoenix idk what stage you fell off, but other than the directional slices,
the multicut is a radius around the bamboo.
when it falls, it shows the area you can't stand in
although, when you got hit, it's kinda too late
calm phoenix
Except no area was highlighted or anything
obsidian wren
Having high latency can cause you to get hit by aoes you moved out of too
You gotta look st the cuts and predict where they'll fall in advance
faint flare
Its a mechanic that starts showing up in the stormblood alliance raids and one Shadowbringers dungeon: where something falls down and you need to use tells to predict its direction
obsidian wren
The cups looked so doable until the last part
open rivet
yeah, but even w/ video recording, the cups don't end up in the "right" spot
calm phoenix
Why did you recommend Cuf a Cur earlier? It is almost impossible to land it where it wants you to
open rivet
it's the easiest minigame
calm phoenix
Does not seems so
faint flare
Its all timing
calm phoenix
It does not help that the mini games are not always on que. Sometimes it stops instantly, sometimes it stops after two seconds
young fjord
After I hit lvl 15, mettle dosen't matter at all does it?
faint flare
Nope
plain python
Pitch Perfect should be used at 3 notches?
faint flare
Yes
plain python
I think I can mostly get a single 3-notch pitch per song, unless I have 2 targets to put DoT on. Is that bad?
robust crow
you have higher proc chances are higher levels
faint flare
Its rng to a extent, enphyral arrow helps as well
robust crow
also your empyrean arrow gives you a stack later too
twilit arch
when you get higher i n lvl, you can use empyreal arrow to force a proc
68 is when you get that trait
robust crow
at 80 you'll usually be able to fire off three or four pitch perfects per wanderer's minuet
cinder maple
Whats the difference between the songs "Shadowbringer" and "Tomorrow and tomorrow"?
twilit arch
while shadowbringers has a bit of tomorrow and tomorrow, its not the full thing
they're two different songs
calm phoenix
Why do new Arcanists think that they need to keep everybody topped off when it is not their job? It is the healer's job. I understand that they can become Scholar and they could choose to main Scholar but it is not their time yet
faint flare
Because they don't know
glossy flare
Can't really blame a new player for being a new player
You can try to educate them though
calm phoenix
It is better they DPS then a healer to DPS because a DPS is healing
verbal rune
so, this may seem a stupid question
but do I need to finish ARR to get to Heavensward?
strange coral
Yes
zinc orbitBOT
calm phoenix
Does different barding offer more protection for your Chocobo? Or is it just cosmetics?
faint flare
Cosmetic
thorn thicket
3 are only from maxing out the chocobo’s talent trees though
strange coral
Behemoth, and it can
thorn thicket
Every mount can fly.
thorn thicket
Did they finish the msq?
kind eagle
nah
twilit arch
they probably dont have the aether currents for that zone to fly
thorn thicket
For flying in 2.0 they need to clear Ultima Weapon in the Praetorium, for every other expansion they need all the aether currents in a given map

Large axe = Warrior, Sword and Shield = Paladin, Large Sword = Dark Knight, Single sword (typically with a revolver chamber) = Gunbreaker

That leaf just means cross world party iirc
open ember
i thought it was a flower
twilit arch
no that leaf icon is new player
open ember
Oh that leaf
robust crow
paladin's the only endgame class that uses a shield
easy to remember since their icon is a shield
prisma mirage
so black mages doesn't use shield huh
glossy flare
pre 50 there are some one handed blm weapons
in which case they do use a shield, or rather there is no reason not to use one
same for conjurer
pseudo ether
Anyone here who would be kind enough to tell me a few tips and tricks to make some money on spriggan :3 ? since Diadem 2 items arent a thing anymore making money got rough 😒

Its the quest symbol

Ok thanks, onwards and upwards
is it MSQ or gonna be blue quests like the other 3?
twilit arch
its a mix
wintry chasm
I'm not sure what the third and fifth one are off the top of my head but it's possible it could be both
twilit arch
usually the last one is msq, the rest are generally blue quests
oblique trellis
Alright, cause the 3 on top were blue, so if mixed hope it's MSQ
Still a couple places I haven't been here, so dunno if MSQ leads me there
lapis tangle
so my friend posted this in main discussion channel. haven't played in while, can you guys help me a bit?

If it's your first job you basically just want to focus main story since it unlocks everything in the game. If not....

help with what Olivko?
wintry chasm
@twilit arch actually I haven't done the new BSF stuff yet. Is it good for XP?
thorn thicket
Once you hit loot from the level 51 dungeon, wands stop existing and Conjurer/White Mage, and Thaumaturge/Black Mage lose their shields
Were there even any good caster shields at all? I remember them all being subpar and most were using staves instead before SE started making only staves
wintry chasm
Shields aren't important
lapis tangle
so many skills are gone
wintry chasm
It's always been weapon damage >>>> anything else
lapis tangle
or I need to unlock them somehow?
wintry chasm
Just gone
lapis tangle
ok
thorn thicket
I meant back in 2.0-2.2
wintry chasm
Take them off your hotbar
And go through your actions and traits and see what new skills you have and what's changed
And put them on
sharp meteor
churning mists or forelands more efficient for sorrowful?
thorn thicket
Probably Foreland, tighter packed FATEs
wintry chasm
I meant back in 2.0-2.2
Now I wasn't around for ARR but what I said should still apply. Shield was never important, the weapon was and if the one handed weap did more weapon damage than the two handed then you'd just use that and tack on the shield
zinc orbitBOT
ember goblet
Whats the highest possible damage done in bozja
eager widget
thorn thicket
Shields did matter, like they do now for paladins. Stats are stats, yes weapon damage is priority, but you’re not going to keep a lesser shield around, and for a little bit the leviathan wand was the best caster weapons, and since they were meant to be used with shields, their stats were lower.
leaden ginkgo
i am looking for people who play on primel
thorn thicket
And the highest damage on Bozja is whatever Death does to a full hp star mob
ember goblet
That doesnt do damage
thorn thicket
They lose HP 😛
crimson wind
@wintry chasm bozja is really good for leveling
thorn thicket
The levi shields didn’t have stats??
raw solstice
well it's more like
crimson wind
I've seen someone do 71-80 in 6 hours of bozja
raw solstice
if you used a one-handed weapon you used a shield because the stats you wanted were split between the two
whereas a two-handed weapon would have it all on the one piece
calm phoenix
Do different race/geners have different jumping abilities when it comes to Leap of Faith? My Cornu character (female Hyur) jumps like a wuss but my main (male Lalafell) constantly overshoots the jump with the same buttons on the controller
thorn thicket
No
raw solstice
the shield "mattered" but like, it was just a difference where if your best weapon was that ilvl you would use that
crimson wind
Each Fate is 1m+ exp for gold, and 2m+ for CEs @wintry chasm
raw solstice
there was nothing special about the shield itself, it was just an afterthought
crimson wind
Auto correct
raw solstice
the mitigation element of it was completely irrelevant
wintry chasm
Yeah

Hi all. Since i bought a Game time card at the Square Enix store... why i didn't receive any confermation email or the code? They got the money tho.
thorn thicket
The only changes to animations are ninja running faster. All races run at the same speeds, and jump at the same height
wintry chasm
Shield was only "important" of the one handed and two handed weapon basically did the same weapon damage which is by far the most important stat and even then you're being super picky about stats at that point so it's not even an important distinction to make?
Hi all. Since i bought a Game time card at the Square Enix store... why i didn't receive any confermation email or the code? They got the money tho.
Might take a minute but just check your orders page and see if you can get the code now
calm phoenix
What shard(s) am I missing? It did not say that I attuned to them all
finite trout
I don't have anything
finite trout
I don't know what should i do really. They didn't give me an e-mail or something else with the confirmation. But they took the money lol
glossy flare
SE is kind of notorious for delayed stuff like that
If you are really concerned about it you should contact support
Not much anyone here can do to help you, sadly
calm phoenix
I take it that it only did not say that I got them all on this character? Or nobody else here uses the Gold Saucer?
finite trout
I'd like to contact the support but what should i say if i don't have a Order number or something like that :p
sharp meteor
i dont get the point of RDM Displacement. isnt it just 130 potency for a GCD?

displacement is oGCD

o.. this is ogcd? im blind
raw solstice
@calm phoenix looked it up. You're missing one at Wonder Square West and one at Round Square
viscid kettle
Quick question, for pause and play mechanics, does BLM casting F4 count as doing an action for play or you HAVE to physically move around?
raw solstice
it works for stuff like "ordained motion" in TEA but does not count for things like "move or you get frozen" in some fights
raw solstice
also can get weirdly snapshotted if the snapshot happens when you're finishing a cast and still count as not moving even if you're chaining casts
viscid kettle
Or starting a new gcd in general counts as 'play'?
ember goblet
Displacement is the OGCd that has the same cd as engagement right
raw solstice
correct
viscid kettle
I was thinking more SoS
ember goblet
Yeah basically displacement is something you use if you want to use it but you dont want to yeet off the boss
viscid kettle
I know on drg you can just stay still and keep mashing buttons
raw solstice
displacement is the one that moves you, engagement keeps you in place
ember goblet
Oh wait
viscid kettle
And it counts
ember goblet
I dumb
viscid kettle
For some reason
ember goblet
It does?
raw solstice
assassinate too should technically work
but you have to have the most pro timing and luck to make it work
viscid kettle
Or maybe it doesn't and I was mashing a jump lmao
raw solstice
regardless, you need physical movement of your character when the mechanic snapshot happens
ember goblet
Jumping works but i feel its more reliable to wiggle
raw solstice
that works as well
but since there's that small time that "you're on the ground between jumps" unless you know the timing for it I'd mostly just recommend wiggling back and forth
ember goblet
Oh how do you deal with blizzard as a caster? Save instacasts?
viscid kettle
That's how I do it
raw solstice
that's generally the plan yeah
viscid kettle
Well you time them but yeah
ember goblet
Optimizing whm in SoS Ex
north venture
How do I get from my place to that quest mark ?

I've only ever done SoS normal because I'm casual as hell but I can see optimizing your casts for that
@north venture flying
north venture
I don't have flying unlocked in this area, do I have to unlock it ?
strong hemlock
question about desynth
north venture
yes I am max lvl , I am just unlocking old content , alexander thingy for weekly journal
strong hemlock
so if an item requires 350 desynth and im at 355 would i have the same chance for good desynth if i was to say get 400
north venture
shit, ok thanks Moment
strong hemlock
any desynth gods know?
raven sage
You should
strong hemlock
so go ahead and desynth no matter what if i am over the lvl
higher level wont change anything
tawdry otter
someone have a good guide for fast leveling jobs?
magic wren
When I purchase expansions, do I need to download them. Or are they automatically in the game?
tawdry otter
automatically in the game with my experience
magic wren
Okay thanks.
thorn thicket
If you’re playing the game right now, you already have all the expansion data
Just not the ability to access it
magic wren
Ah I see makes sense
thorn thicket
Because imagine having to separately make patches for each expansion, based on people not having the most recent ones
calm phoenix
I thought the Gold Saucer offered a couple mounts? The Campaign Attendant does not have any. I was sure Cactuar was a mount from the GS
thorn thicket
The mounts aren’t discounted
remote lintel
the campaign attendant only has the discounted items
@magic wren you still need to download them
calm phoenix
Where is all the items?
thorn thicket
Go to the normal mgp vendor at the desk

calm phoenix
Again, There had to have been a 50ft gap
raw solstice
it's a tough minigame and sometimes you can't always see what/how you're going to get hit
verbal rune
So probably a stupid question, once I upgrade my game, there is no way to go back to free trial, right?
calm phoenix
It should only be if it hits me. Is the wind from it knocking me off?
remote lintel
@verbal rune correct
winged cobalt
@verbal rune nope

Makes sense

Probably getting snapshotted
winged cobalt
When you go subbed that's it
calm phoenix
All MMOs are like that other than the freemium mobile ones
remote lintel
a lot of mmos have a subscription yes
wispy parcel
Well it is paid in monthly increments if that helps
calm phoenix
Going paid is worth it imo. There is a lot more available to you such as free companies, market board, retainers, and not to mention Stormblood and Shadowbringers
wispy parcel
plus once you reach endgame theres a lot of down time so you could feel free to unsub for the time being
thorn thicket
If FF14 was F2P, it, and SE would be dead.
glossy flare
an entry level subscription, which is all you need really, is 13 bucks a month
wispy parcel
Indeed
glossy flare
Now I obviously don't know if that is affordable to you and if it isn't that's fine
wispy parcel
F2P is where MMOs G2D
glossy flare
But I think it's reasonable
verbal rune
I plan to upgrade eventually, yeah, and play all the stuff to do in 1-3 months
calm phoenix
If FF14 was F2P, it, and SE would be dead.
@thorn thicket Or would have to pull off an EA type of move
verbal rune
But first, off to finishing Heavensward
thorn thicket
Sub fees are what’s paying for all the content to be made, otherwise almost everything would be cash shop only.
verbal rune
Then, who knows, maybe Stormblood goes free
remote lintel
it wouldn't be free
verbal rune
But most likely not and I'll buy
thorn thicket
That’ll probably be in5 years

Unlikely, at least not in the time it takes you to finish HW 😄

How often does square change the sub bonus?
patent citrus
i hope pvp hotbar can also set to be shared T_T
remote lintel
what do you mean bonus
calm phoenix
How does one obtain the Zu Horn other than market board? It is like almost capped amount of gill on the market board. Is it a rare drop from something?
remote lintel
it's traded from things you get from fc airships
scarlet hinge
Like the cloud outfit
raven sage
Those don't change
It's been set rewards since they switched up the veteran reward system entirely a long time ago
calm phoenix
My brother-in-law had one he was working on but most of his friends in his FC do not play anymore so his airship is half done
scarlet hinge
so there won't be new rewards unfortunate
leaden ginkgo
Is there going to be new crafted gear in 5.4?
wispy parcel
Yea theres usually new crafted gear along with tome gear

the thing you exchange is also a rare drop from the airship so @calm phoenix

I'm going to use glamour for the first time, buit I dont want to mess it up and lose the item without saving its appearance for using anytime. What should I exactly do?
wheat plume
ok, please tell me what exactly do, the player who gave me the item said to put it in a plate
remote lintel
go to your inn
go to the glamour dresser
put all the glam items you want in the dresser
wheat plume
Are there inns in Mor Dhona ?
remote lintel
click the button to open plates
no
then put all the items you want into the plate to create and outfit and save it
then apply
viscid kettle
I think it's more wherever they sell tomestone gear
wheat plume
ok, I put it in the dresser, doing that did cost a glamour prism?
remote lintel
yes
wheat plume
and putting the glamour in plate, and using the plate, has any cost?
fast hull
no if its in plate form
wheat plume
I dont have the plate yet
raw solstice
it only costs the glamour prism to put it in the dresser, nothing past that
fast hull
I mean once you place in on the glammor dresser, its free and could spam it XD
raw solstice
you can then use pieces in the dresser or in the armoire in order to make a glamour on a glamour plate
and then you can apply that plate to whatever you're currently wearing
no extra cost after the initial time putting in in the chest
wheat plume
great, I've seen I can only craft prisms with leathercraft, how can I make them with other classes?
fast hull
? you can get prism very easily I got like 2000+ now
raw solstice
the easiest way is to just purchase the prisms from your GC with seals, usually

Does the game (complete edition) ever goes on sale btw?
@verbal rune on PS4 it was on sale at 50% some weeks ago
Buy the other glamour prism recipe books
@obsidian patio the seller is the old man near walking sands?
verbal rune
Eh, I meant pc
remote lintel
yes
wheat plume
whats the best way of getting gool looking gear? I'm only getting armors doing quests and dungeons
remote lintel
literally everywhere
oblique trellis
Good looking is subjective
wheat plume
I mean, casual gear
obsidian patio
@wheat plume the recipe books are from Goberin at X12.2, Y15 in western thanalan
wheat plume
I'm lvl 59 DRG and I only have armor
remote lintel
market board
fast hull
I mean I like the dungeon gear compared to what I get from vendors
wheat plume
Is gold saucer a good place to get them too? I never went there because I want to continue the MSQ
wheat plume
crafting can get me a lot of casual gear?
wispy parcel
Most of the casual looking gear is crafted yea
Dragoon mainly gets tank armor through the grinds amd msq
wheat plume
just leveling craft class can get me casual gear or using special recipes?
remote lintel
recipes
wispy parcel
Most are recipes
remote lintel
high level ones
wispy parcel
Level 70ish
wheat plume
how/where can I get those recipes?
remote lintel
master books
wheat plume
and where can I get master books?
wispy parcel
Keep in mind
wheat plume
ah, ok, I'm lvl 37 crafter, I'll continue doing it
wispy parcel
You cant just level one crafter
Its best to level all of them together
else making that gear is gonna cost a LOT
wheat plume
Yes, I'm trying to do that
people have told me weaver and leather are good classes to lvl up for getting that gear
remote lintel
a lot of the casual glam is made by weavers yes
calm phoenix
Why did they just recently increase the delay with the Crystal Tower Striker? Now it is 2 - 4 seconds after I hit the botton and I cannot get a single one!!
remote lintel

they did not change anything
north venture
Please help me it's been 30 minutes, I can't enter this area at all, tell me how please , and I went to the question marks and I can't find any entry to the area
fiery falcon
ahhh i thought they all had markings
raw solstice
if you're getting different delay it's entirely on your end, likely your internet/ISP
north venture
oh shit...
remote lintel
its a cave
north venture
thanks cerberus , I am going to check now
north venture
ok will go there
wheat plume
is there any gear that is a headband, or headband+eyepatch (for looking like Solid Snake)
remote lintel
theres hair thats a headband
calm phoenix
I notice people waiting by a aethernets shard when it is two minutes to the 20. Is it likely that they are waiting to jump right to a gate?
faint flare
Likely
remote lintel
wheat plume
theres hair thats a headband
@remote lintel for female miqote too?
remote lintel
yes
wheat plume
I cant find it with the guy who changes my hairstyle in inn
open coral
The alice band styles are default
remote lintel
also you need to have done the quest to unlock the aesthetician
north venture
if the compass doesn't detect any nearby currents, does that mean that I only have quests left and I got all the aether currents ?
faint flare
Yes
wheat plume
is the aesthetician the guy with scissors at the inn? I'm with him right now
wheat plume
ok, where can I unlock hairstyle with black or grey headband?
robust crow
which is level 80 post-story content
oblique delta
To buy a house as a free company, do you need 4 members including the FC owner ? or 4 + the FC owner
wheat plume
iirc it's from bozja
@robust crow I'm not even in heavensward, I guess I still have a long way to that
calm phoenix
What is the deal here? I just glitched right through a bridge in Leap of Faith like 9 times this round
exotic ridge
SAM where does true north come in to use?
faint flare
You can buy off Mogstation
robust crow
yes you are hundreds of gameplay hours before that
exotic ridge
or doesnt it?
wheat plume
but is there black headband? or only white like in the pic?
remote lintel
@exotic ridge whenever you can't get your positionals
north venture
is there a way to know if I completed a certian quest or not ?
faint flare
True north is for hitting positionals when you cant get to your positionals
open coral
The Bozja one only has a white headband
remote lintel
@north venture journal > completed
north venture
thanks ❤️
remote lintel
there is no black headband afaik
exotic ridge
as in standing back corner of the boss?, which skills need that?
faint flare
Kasha and gecko are positionals
wheat plume
oh, well, not Solid Snake miqote for me, thanks anyway, you've helped me a lot learning more things
little swift
Not hitting them means generating less kenki
exotic ridge
hmm ok thx
little swift
Which is less damagr
faint flare
And then less Shinten and other kenko abilities
exotic ridge
Not like im going to be stellar group anyway 🙂
little swift
That doesn't mean you actively try to not play a job right
faint flare
And turning is mostly predictable
robust crow
true north exists to help you do more damage
oblique delta
To buy a house as a free company, do you need 4 members including the FC owner ? or 4 + the FC owner
little swift
4 total is fine
oblique delta
thanks!
robust crow
if you didn't want to do positionals
play a different class
gunbreaker is pretty much a physical dps that has no positionals
cyan quest
I love GNB
robust crow
lotta people who play sam just do it because they hear about sam being the best dps or something
exotic ridge
easy guys i never said I didnt want to do them, didnt realise i needed to..
remote lintel
all melees have them
faint flare
Melees are all about positionals
exotic ridge
I play MCH normally
faint flare
Thats what makes melee and melee
exotic ridge
first melee ive played
patent citrus
o_o
exotic ridge
should I always try to use true north before those skills?
remote lintel
no
faint flare
Only if you cant get to the positional in time
exotic ridge
ok thx
oblique trellis
does HW MSQ take me to Albathia's Spine at some point? idk if I ran through or what but only have the very bottom of The Sea of Clouds uncovered
faint flare
You go to the upper half later
oblique trellis
ok thx, will do the hunts later then 😄
remote lintel
if your question is "why cant i get here" the answer is probably "msq"
oblique trellis
didn't try to get there, just have a hunt target there, looked at the map, and only bottom uncovered
Didn't know if I should take exploration in to my own hands, or if they're gonna make me explore
calm phoenix
Why is Leap of Faith so frequent and the airplane game rarely at all? Does Leap of Faith have better odds of being a gate because it is the hardest?
oblique trellis
Just want my hunt rewards for better daggers 😄
plain kraken
Hi guy
remote lintel
leap of faith is in all 3 time slots while the airplane is in 2
calm phoenix
The chances for each to show up in that slot is different?
remote lintel
its rng
plain kraken
I can't see where and i never in gangos
remote lintel
did you do the resistance weapon questline
plain kraken
i thing not
faint flare
Gangos doesnt appear on the map and you need to do the resistance weapon line to go there
remote lintel
its a separate area
plain kraken
thiss ?
faint flare
Which requires the lv70 24man quest line dine
remote lintel
yes
open ember
Finish ivalice raids to get access to gangos
plain kraken
this ?
open ember
Yes
open ember
Do all three raids
faint flare
Yes, gotta finish that quest line
faint flare
Before the relic line appears
calm phoenix
The pillars fell left and right and I was in neither direction and it STILL knocked me off. It was 20 feet from where I was standing and DID NOT even fall my direction! What gives?
open ember
You sure ask alot of questions buddy
strange coral
The answer you were given last time you complained about it still applies
calm phoenix
If they fall east and west and I am south, there is no reason for me to be knocked off
plain kraken
Another stupid question not about the game !
faint flare
There's 3 pillars and the hitboxes are decently big
plain kraken
When u guy play a normal temperature on GPU is ?
I got 76 with GTX 1660 X Gamming @ @
only play ff14 with full HD

what is the redit tread for recruit codes?

76 C is fine
oblique trellis
any reason to work on sightseeing log?
open rivet
Achievement & the Achievement Reward
oblique trellis
That's the last thing I want rn is more exp 😄
oblique trellis
already 12 levels above msq
leaden ginkgo
Get a second class
Otherwise you'll overflow and waste all of that super generous xp
open rivet
don't worry, as long as you're not 30lvs above MSQ like I am, it's fine
leaden ginkgo
If you're diligent about roulettes you get quite a bit
remote lintel
EXs dont give a lot of exp
leaden ginkgo
Best advice is to start doing roulettes with a second class
oblique trellis
But I've also heard I wanna get 1 class to 80 for alts
patent citrus
doesn't have to be lv 80 hehe
leaden ginkgo
Armory bonus applies as long as it's lower
patent citrus
if you are lv 10, your lv 1-9 alts will get exp bonus
leaden ginkgo
What level are you?
oblique trellis
man that means I need to decide what class I wanna focus on...SAM already 10 levels over too
my NIN is 63, my Sam is... about the same
open rivet
again, as long as you're not lv. 80 when you start HW it's fine :D
remote lintel
what msq level
patent citrus
well another dps wouldn't hurt since you need 1 magical dps and 1 physical dps later on in shb
remote lintel
its still a waste of exp to be way overleveled
oblique trellis
uh... not sure... around 51-52
leaden ginkgo
I mean it's never a waste technically until 80
remote lintel
its way less efficient
oblique trellis
I don't have the MSQ rn
leaden ginkgo
?
remote lintel
huh
oblique trellis
doing his aether quest first, and will pick up the msq when I turn it in
patent citrus
if you could, make sure you get 1 tank, 1 healer, 1 magical dps and 1 physical dps before you reach shb
leaden ginkgo
I don't even remember what that is
oblique trellis
aether current stuff
leaden ginkgo
Oh lol
remote lintel
red mage starts at 50
leaden ginkgo
If you're just doing msq and roulettes, two classes are perfect
remote lintel
HW jobs start at 30 so less leveling
leaden ginkgo
Even with roulettes though, you might be better off with a third class
patent citrus
over 10 lvl doesn't seem he's doing roulette
oblique trellis
yeah I have an AST, GNB, SCH and SUM all 30+
leaden ginkgo
I meant if he does roulette with his second class
patent citrus
if he's doing roulette, he'll get much more hehe
oblique trellis
nah haven't been doing too many roulettes
patent citrus
yeh
leaden ginkgo
What I did once my gnb got halfway to 79 at the 74 msq was pick up a second class
oblique trellis
well... now I need to decide what to work on 😄
leaden ginkgo
Then I decided I'd keep tanking the floor
remote lintel
look at all the jobs and pick one you like
leaden ginkgo
Doing the hunting logs is a good way to get a decent feel for a class
leaden ginkgo
You can always do them later
oblique trellis
also need to decide if I want to work on MSQ rn, or not... cause if so I could just hop on my SUM/SCH... if not may try to level Archer up to Bard... or learn tank... idk
leaden ginkgo
Having one of each of the four roles will help
hazy estuary
Aren't there 5 roles?
oblique trellis
and if I do decide to learn tank, need to decide if I wanna work on getting up to PLD, or learn my GNB
oblique trellis
well gnb started at 60, so nm that 😄
yeah jsut saw that
for some reason tank seems the hardest to me
patent citrus
you can do it my bro
hazy estuary
It depends, dps has the hardest rotation but healer is really hard if you want to be good at balancing healing and damage uptime, while tank can be extremely hard in some bosses that require mechanics
wispy parcel
Ur not taking damage all the time in normal content anyway
Youve plenty of leeway to dps

not sure if this is a game problem or a computer problem but it figured i'd ask here in case anyone else has had the same issue. my computer used to auto-save any screenies i took in 14 to their own folders but has recently started just eating them instead. i get the screenshot taken message in-game but they're nowhere to be found on my pc. any idea where this prob is coming from?
remote lintel
are you looking in documents > my games > ff14 > screenshots
raw solstice
do you get any error message in chat when you try to take a screenshot, or does it just say "screenshot saved"? Sometimes it'll not work properly if the "default save location" is set to an invalid location, like perhaps the old screenshot folder was removed/renamed, but it'll give an error message when you take one if that's the case
oblique trellis
what does "pf up for fates" mean?
remote lintel
party finder
oblique trellis
oh ok
remote lintel
to do fates
remote lintel
yes
oblique trellis
Is this something built in to game already, or a mod?
verbal rune
The I guess the only worth while thing is the gambler set
remote lintel
that's for squadrons
open rivet
@oblique trellis it's in the game,
for your Grand Company Squadrons, used in the Command Missions (3 NPCs + you in a dungeon)
oblique trellis
ooh I wanna unlock that 😄
open rivet
rank up in your GC and you will
oblique trellis
well I have a squadron...I just... dunno what to do with them 😄 Been doin random training, and random missions
bleak lake
So Im 30.. how do I get my lvl 30 class? do I have to progress the class quest as well?=
remote lintel
!faq job
zinc orbitBOT
oblique trellis
then I get new recruits but they're lower than the other ones so they just sit to the side
bleak lake
ty
remote lintel
you can train the ones you don't send on missions
jade thorn
I’m trying to get into this game using mainly the free trial because it already costs 20 for the base game and I can play through heavenward with unlimited time
But for some reason it says my trial is going to end in a day
remote lintel
where does it say that
jade thorn
when I log on
remote lintel
on the character select screen?
jade thorn
Yes
verbal rune
Can someone pass me the fashion thing of the gold saucer for this weeek?

did you create your trial account a long time ago?

No I made it in September
remote lintel
can you screenshot it

A message just said that cactpot tickets were on sale and my wife was already there and she spoke to the lady just seconds after it said this but my wife paid full price for a ticket. Does anybody know what the problem could be?
remote lintel
it probably meant that cactpot tickets are simply being sold
oblique trellis
are either of the starter tanks easier to learn than the other?
remote lintel
all tanks are simple
oblique trellis
maybe if you've played a tank before even once in your life, but I haven't 😄
oblique trellis
hm think I'll drop MRD and go GLA
patent citrus
is there any way to move the glamour plate position?
yeah sure, play whatever you like the most
remote lintel
the window?
remote lintel
like from the gear set?
remote lintel
right click gear set and set plate
outer plank
@oblique trellis tanks rotations are super super almost all the way through
remote lintel
oh
patent citrus
ill try in glamour dresser, might work
remote lintel
no afaik
patent citrus
ah ok
outer plank
because they have additional smaller things to deal with, they are by no means complicated
there complexity comes from knowing hot to properly mitigate damage and positioning.
oblique trellis
nm I said that backwards - drop gla for mrd
remote lintel
that's hardly complex even then
outer plank
though strictly speaking they still do obviously all have a set rotation that are similar to a dps
just not as bad cause they have to tank and dps instead of just dps
oblique trellis
alright..just don't wanna get yelled at in dungeons 😄
remote lintel
just say you're new
outer plank
heres how you dont get yelled at in dungeon
you reach lv 15, turn on tank stance
then im assuming your a gladiator right
outer plank
well you should have an ability called overpower
keep your tank stance on which is called defiance
walk up to a group of enemies, hit everyone of them with overpower once or twice
outer plank
go to the next group, hit them with overpower once or twice, and then pop something called "rampart" check your role skills
you should have it
thats a super important skill to have as a tank
put it on your hotbar asap
cold geode
do you still chain pull in dungeons ? 😄
outer plank
@cold geode pulling 2-3 groups? yes. thats the most efficient way to go about clearing a dungeon. and after all a tank was designed to be able to pull multiple packs at a time
jade thorn
I couldn’t even screenshot it cuz it wouldn’t show up in my steam folder
outer plank
maybe not him yet cause hes under leveled and under geared
so he should start with 1 for now
oblique trellis
Drk starts at 60? or 30?
oblique trellis
hmmmmmm
outer plank
yeah, but even then back when i started drk going from tank to dps it was still a little bit overwhelming to under stand
but it shouldnt be to big of a deal with the skill pruning
you should have the hard slash 123 combo and flood of darkness.
and some other smaller stuffd
remote lintel
@jade thorn are you sure you didn't buy the game
remote lintel
what
jade thorn
Wow
little swift
Its not really a free trial if you bought it
jade thorn
My game folder says “a realm reborn”
remote lintel
screenshot your mog station
faint flare
If you paid money then you brought the game
The starter edition
And aren't on trial
cold geode
can i get some help here? how do i change my class? i have 5 soul crystal in total 😄
jade thorn
remote lintel
youre not on free trial
jade thorn
I hope I can refund this
remote lintel
you bought the game
cold geode
thx @remote lintel lol i tried to change my soul crystal 😄
faint flare
You brought the game and used the code, refund is very highly unlikely
plush hound
No, you can't get a refund because you've been playing it for the 30 days.
jade thorn
Fuck my life
faint flare
You can't use a product then refund it
jade thorn
This game is dogshit
faint flare
This is a you error
remote lintel
you paid money
jade thorn
God what was the point

Please do not use this channel as an outlet for your complaints of your own error
