Yes, all that matters is that you have the quest active and you'll receive the drops

the ideal method if you want multiple relics would be to open both of those quests at once

Anyway to make ARR relic weapons stronger?

they're ilvl capped to 135

Ooohhh
jade quartz
Relic weapons that aren't from the current expansion are mostly for glamour though
if you want a good weapon you should buy an ironworks magitek weapon from Rowena's Representative in any main city
magic wren
Yeah I saw that. I just wanted a relic lol
jade quartz
you're in for a bit of a grind
magic wren
Also how do I make the ilv 130?
jade quartz
Ironworks weapon is ilvl 130.
Relic goes up to 135 after a very long grind (not worth it for weapon stat purposes, only if you really like the glamour)
magic wren
Hm I see.
jade quartz
You can start by buying 3x Thavnairian Mist from Auriana in Mor Dhona, returning to Hyrstmill and upgrading your Yoshimitsu with them at the furnace behind Gerolt.
magic wren
What’s the steps though? Do I do the same as I had to do to obtain them, because that was tedious.
little swift
yeah that was the easy bit
magic wren
Lol crap

is there a server or maybe a channel on this one where people get together to run Heaven-on-High?
manic schooner
hey guys what are primal weapons ? are they stronger than ironworks weapons?
ironworks have ilvl 130
proud willow
yes, you can negate the water orb knockback
crimson wind
kk
ripe hound
Does anyone know why my Gunbreaker is grey on FFlogs?
crimson wind
because you don't have any gnb logs
proud willow
is that from a FC recruitment page or something, Liberi?
ripe hound
Oh cool
Also do you know why I don't have Ninja? Like I have some logs, albeit just normal raids
Is it because it's too new?
I just uploaded my Ninja logs
manic schooner
is that from a FC recruitment page or something, Liberi?
@proud willow yes its actually from the FC that im in right now. they have a new service to help new players up to speed
proud willow
I suppose that means they craft you one of the primal weapons of your choice (Ifrit's, Titan's, etc.)
they look nice but they're inferior to Ironworks
manic schooner
Ohh i see.. for cosmetics.. awesome thanks
obsidian hornet
Just came back after a year break, do I have time to get all the yo-kai stuff before 5.4?
twilit arch
5.4 is gonna be some time dec
versed bridge
Yeah, took me like a week getting 2-3 weapons a day
twilit arch
and they boosted the drop rates for the legendary medals, so they don't take quite as long as they did before. So should be able to get it all done decently quick
So long as you have stormblood ofc
obsidian hornet
Oh awesome, thanks.
versed bridge
Even if you played half the time you'll be fine
twilit arch
since gnb/dnc medals are from sb fates
obsidian hornet
Ok cool.
livid storm
Is ffxiv cross save?
jade quartz
what do you mean by cross-save
it is fully cross-platform and it's a persistent online game so you can play on multiple systems
on the same character
some stuff like UI settings are saved locally
twilit arch
but for the UI you can back up your settings on on platform and download it to the other

twilit arch

Is there a diagram for positionals?
raw solstice
!faq positional
zinc orbitBOT
raw solstice
@hardy gazelle head/gloves/boots: 495 tomes each
chest/pants: 825 tomes each
accessories/belt: 375 tomes each
raw solstice
yeah, it's something you usually pick pieces up slowly along the course of the raid tier
warped nest
@heavy marsh two things to note
A don't delay weaponskill to hit positional
B see the ass corner in the diagram? You don't need to be perfectly on the rear or the flank for positional to count, so if you don't need to move a lot, you can stay on ass corner and just go left/right a lil bit to hit your flank/rear positional

so I believe I have an EU account, though if there's some way for me to be able to find that out exactly, that would be great. That said, up until a month or so ago, I never had the option to 'Add game card time' where my subscription was on the mogstation, but now it's suddenly there, and I'm wondering if those are region locked at all? no where on the page to add the code does it say it is, but I'm just curious!
twilit arch
To double check what region your account is, log into mogstation > Square Enix Account settings > account information > Region
and yeah time cards are region locked
next steppe
oh, thank you, "Europe & Other Regions." I guess because I'm from AU, even though I play on NA
gentle quarry
AU accounts are defaulted to the EU store but afterwards yeah you can choose any data centres
if you buy stuff you'd go through the EU mog statoion

Is there a keybind for ||the hotbar when youre controlling a different character in a duty?||

how do you get tonestones of allegory? besides duties at lv 80

i dont see mount actions in keybinds

Only lv80 content gives them

ahh found it, it is pet hotbar 🙂
livid storm
Hey where do i go for beast tribe that has true griffin
flint lagoon
Speaking of beast tribe, any beast tribe I should befriend before the other?
twilit arch
its the ananta beast tribe, which is in the fringes
twilit arch
You need to do two sides quests chains before you can do the unlock quest for them
twilit arch
first one is the black rose chain which starts with "The Hidden Truth" quest
livid storm
mk i have that done
livid storm
i ddi it before
twilit arch
second chain starts with "A New Contender"
once you've completed both of those chains, you need to complete "The Rose Blooms Twice" which will then unlock the unlock for the ananta which is "Brooding Broodmother"
oblique trellis
My SAM combos are not proccing... any idea what's going on?
twilit arch
are you fighting something that's higher level than you?
oblique trellis
Like, I'll do 1, 2, 3 ...sometimes Higanbana comes up, sometimes it doesn't
oh... yes.. I am lol. It's a striking dummy though
hardy gazelle
should i try to go for tomestones of allegory in duties or is just exp better?
livid storm
might be a rng thing
rotund sable
Striking dummies can dodge
twilit arch
its because you're probably missing
oblique trellis
Lemme try the lower ones
rotund sable
If you're low level
twilit arch
missing the skill = won't give you the buff/sen
rotund sable
Also breaks combos
oblique trellis
Ah ok, that seemed to have been it, thanks. Just joined an FC today, didn't notice the dummy was 70
twilit arch
@hardy gazelle the main roulette to get allegory from are expert/lvl 80 roulette so you can do the other roulettes on your jobs you're still leveling
hardy gazelle
so you reccomend trying to get the allegorys?
twilit arch
if you're level 80, then there's no reason to not be getting allegory
it gives good gear
twilit arch
that said, if you're not done with shb, then its kind of moot
twilit arch
then honestly dont worry about it
just work on finishing shb first
can deal with getting tomestones once you've done htat
twilit arch
the allegory given from roulettes you have really aren't that make or break
since like i said, the big two are expert/80 roulette which you dont have access to
hardy gazelle
how much do they give?
twilit arch
expert gives 40, 80 give 15 (this is on top of the dungeons themselves which are 20/40). So its gonna be more than what you'd get from like leveling
which is just 20
twilit arch
so while it gives you a bit of a head start, the exp is honestly more worthwhile
for leveling alt jobs
since you easily cap on allegory with 5 experts a week
hardy gazelle
alright
thanks
yeah i am leveling all the tanks at the same time
soo
got a bit to go
leaden ginkgo
is the search feature on crafting log bugged?
twilit arch
bugged how?
leaden ginkgo
typed in "neo-ishgard" to get all the neo ishgardian stuff listed
but healer items are missing
twilit arch
the search function can only show so many items
twilit arch
can only display 50
leaden ginkgo
kk that makes sense
i'd try teamcraft but im not really sure how to search what im looking for
what can I do with gatherer yellow scrips if I already bought the king's sets?
master recipes?
i mean the gatherer ones
folklore or w/e
what are those for?
i think they let you gather legendary (?) tier items
opens up more items to gather basically
frail fulcrum
Can i use multiple riding maps to increase further my mount speed?

I think its limited?
If you click travel you can only increase the speed once.

ripe hound
Using TA after 5th GCD is correct for NIN right?
little swift
4th gcd
so that gust slash and aeolian edge are buffed under TA
but spinning edge doesn't have to be
little swift
ya
little swift
even on dummies, there's a gap between you slapping doton down and when hide becomes unusable
so practice lets you get the wholeopener through
spare plinth
in the holminster switch dungeon one of the mini bosses is ||tesleen who became a sin eater|| if you use the trust system, will ||alisaie have a reaction||
ripe hound
I always just throw doton on an empty ground lol
@spare plinth Yes
No much but a simple reaction
How do you be not bad?
Just practice more?
faint flare
Yes
ripe hound
Hit that dummy until you are not bad anymore!
little swift
part of it is practice
ripe hound
Yeah!
little swift
and part of it is recognizing where you make mistakes
blind practice won't help you
ripe hound
Mostly remembering the opener
little swift
besides reinforcing bad habits
ripe hound
I'm alt tabbing during my opener now lol
little swift
its fine to slow down the opener until you get the button order correct
ripe hound
Right, just move TA to where the first TA ends
little swift
but that only cripples 1 person's damage
ripe hound
It's not worth delaying every else into your own TA right?
That's just dum dum
Yeah you still need to line up your burst window with everything else
little swift
no you shouldn't delay your own burst for your own TA
you should try and align your cds with the regular raid buffs
it sucks but it do be like that
leaving everything to the delayed TA means it loses the effectsof the other raid buffs
ripe hound
Yeah
That's definitely much more ideal lol
Also progress, although a bit slow, I can almost do a full NIN opener without looking at the guide during it lol
leaden ginkgo
how can I maximize yield of hidden items in gathering nodes?
is it worth triggering Luck of the Pioneer?

iirc griffin is rank 8

!faq ninguide
zinc orbitBOT
ripe hound
Oh cool
This all applies to 5.3 right?
Ninja didn't have any big changes after the big rework in 5.1 right?
little swift
@leaden ginkgo you want to use unearth and unearth ii/iii for quality for the whole node, and it stacks with dredge and dredge ii
luck of the mountaineer is free, provided you get lucky with the hq chain
botanist equivalent is leaf turn and prune
with luck of the pioneer
brunt force is another decent one on nodes with lots of attempts
limber walrus
hey guys I just found out my Rainbow pigment in my inventory is a "collectible item". I have a lot of them, but is there a way to convert them or are they just trash now cause I collected them without collector's glove?
outer plank
im pretty sure you can give those to zhole for custom deliveries
if she has it on cycle for you
@limber walrus
little swift
if you don't meet the minimum collectability, they're not useful
and since you didn't collect them with collector's glove
they're sorta useless
limber walrus
oh ok
leaden ginkgo
@leaden ginkgo you want to use unearth and unearth ii/iii for quality for the whole node, and it stacks with dredge and dredge ii
@little swift in case the item is Hidden, is there a specific rotation to get HQ items?
little swift
good rng tbh
leaden ginkgo
I'm farming old content, so Leaf Turn III almost always gives me 100% HQ
little swift
if you want yield you probably don't want to use your gp to get more gathering attempts
so its better to just rng it and then max out the yield/quality
zinc orbitBOT
leaden ginkgo
so is Luck of the Pioneer not that good?
little swift
need help, I tried to register for Square Enix,
I got to the confirmation code, I copy and pasted it.
and it gave me an error code, Now I gotta wait 24 hours to try again, wtf
@leaden ginkgo can we see a screenshot of what happened.
luck of the pioneer needs chain4. which means oyu have to make 5 hits before its usable
the number of nodes where that happens isn't that high
leaden ginkgo
it asks for HQ chain 2
leaden ginkgo
still not worth trying to get HQ chain 2 I guess?
little swift
luck is fine
but its dependent on how you want to go about it
rng and tehn use your gp
or use your gp to force hq with leaf turn iii
and then force the hidden item to appear
leaden ginkgo
I think I'll go with rng and use gp
spending gp to get HQ chain 2 seems like a waste of gp
little swift
i eman you could get super lucky 
leaden ginkgo
xD
little swift
and then chain 2 naturally
leaden ginkgo
but I would have to spend 2 gathering attempts to try
ooh, I have to gather some nodes anyway
I understand what you mean

can you upgrade materia? like, fusing two materia to create an upgraded version at a chance

highest grade is VIII
and there's a chance when transmuting materia that you can get a grade higher than what you transmuted

you can transmute by talking to mutamix at the bonfire, in central thanalan. takes 5 materia

But a more comfy set runs about 1038
little swift
Or something like that
lethal cape
I'm currently on 941 piety from my MSQ set and it's honestly more than I ever need 🤷♂️
Unless I die and go back to 0 mana I'm fine
I barely ever even need to use Thin Air atm so I think I'll be fine on 838 piety 🤔
little swift
Thin air is fine to reserve for heavy healing situations
west spruce
if you aren't planning to do hard content then it doesn't really matter tbh
little swift
Its rare you can't get by with just assize and lucid
lethal cape
you don't go back to 0 mana when you're rezzed
I think I go to 1000 or something, I can't remember
Usually when I die there's a few more dead people around me so it means I can't use raise as it's 2.4k mana 😅
remote lintel
you have a bunch of skills to get your mana back up
lethal cape
Lucid and Assize
remote lintel
pretty sure thin air works with raise?
lethal cape
It does, but you still need the mana to cast the spell
If I have 1k mana and use thin air, it still won't let me raise as I need the 2.4k mana in my bar
remote lintel
its not 1k
remote lintel
its a little under whats required to rezz
in which case you can use lucid and thin air
lethal cape
Still makes me have to wait 🤷♂️
remote lintel
its not that long
lethal cape
Ye, but if Lucid and Assire are on CD then it's a small problem ;P
remote lintel
thin air and wait a bit
lethal cape

patent citrus
yeah, usually when you reach 7/9 you use the shuffle option
manic schooner
i see.. theres this second chance feature to allow u to shuffle it. is it there no way to move a piece anywhere u want one time?
patent citrus
if you queue up with people that have first time bonus, you'll get more chance to shuffle
manic schooner
yeah, usually when you reach 7/9 you use the shuffle option
@patent citrus ohh why wait 7/9?
twilit arch
you can't use shuffle after 7
can only use it between 3 and 7 stickers
shuffling at 7 gives you the best chance at setting up a potential 3 line, but you're still hoping that rng places the last 2 stickers where you want them
and no, there's no way to get the stickers in the exact spots you want them. its all rng

So I am a bit confused about BLM, as someone who just started it. How does Umbral Ice & Astral Fire work?
kind eagle
What about highest dmg range
tidal yarrow
What is a good range dps?
wdym?
jade quartz
Machinist has highest personal damage, dancer has the most powerful party buffs to make up for its lack of personal dps, BRD is kinda in between
jade quartz
all are good and extremely close to the point that it doesn't really matter
kind eagle
oh
tidal yarrow
if you had to rate them from strongest to weakest it probably be dnc mch brd but they're all viable and close each other
jade quartz
Uh
kind eagle
What class shizuka rin main?
kind eagle
summoner highest dps for now?
glad comet
I'll uh...ask again...
glad comet
I havent play BLM, and I only just started on the class. How does Astral Fire & Umbral Ice work?
tidal yarrow
if the sam is good it outdps everyone except blm
zinc orbitBOT
jade quartz
sorry Athrun I was about to answer and got distracted
Astral Fire stops mana regeneration and empowers your fire spells. Umbral ice massively increases your mana generation.
tidal yarrow
why except blm?
blm has higher damage than sam
glad comet
Ahhhh
jade quartz
Fire is where all your damage is, Ice is mana regen phase.
tidal yarrow
when both played perfectly in e8s
glad comet
So you keep using ice until a point?
jade quartz
You burn your mana on fire spells until you're out
glad comet
fire whoops
jade quartz
then switch to ice until your mana is refilled
jade quartz
as for the FFLogs stats page
you're looking at a box and whisker plot
so the thick part is the two inner quartiles with the median being the line in the middle

Guys the Pneumite for anima weapons is available only at the step and only purchasable with Company seals?

so its better to learn black mage as it is better dmg range class?
@kind eagle As compared to what? But even then, no class is a better class
kind eagle
range class
glossy flare
All jobs can clear all content, so playing what's fun to you is the better approach
kind eagle
refer to every range class
tidal yarrow
so its better to learn black mage as it is better dmg range class?
every class is good as the others
damage is not everything

BLM has high dps if played correctly
But no party utility to boost your friends

It has a number of abilities for quick bursts of big movement
glossy flare
So yeah, planning ahead and knowing the fight is crucial as BLM
jade quartz
so that you can maximise your casting time
finite trout
Cause i see them locked behind Seals but i don't see them at the Mercant with poetics... I need to reach the step to let them appear in the shop of the vendor? Just getting prepared
verbal rune
I see
glossy flare
If it's your first ever caster job I would recommend Summoner tbh
BLM can be a bit frustrating at times
Actually Red Mage would be even better as your first caster, if you can already unlock it
jade quartz
BLM's fine as your first
tidal yarrow
afaik smn rotation not easy at all
glossy flare
Not saying it is, just easier to get into
jade quartz
nah SMN rotation is fine
tidal yarrow
but honestly jobs are very over semplified nothing's really hard
patent citrus
oo why's that? i thought they are unrelated
tidal yarrow
ye makes sense
jade quartz
A lot of people have no familiarity with SMN because they leveled via leveling SCH
and never actually touched SMN itself
glossy flare
Yeah, that was me 👀
patent citrus
👀 guilty
glossy flare
But summoner is still great, I love it now
jade quartz
I'm also guilty 
verbal rune
Red mage is in Stormblood, right?
glossy flare
it's part of SB, yes
verbal rune
Then SMN it is
jade quartz
Red mage requires owning Stormblood (Shadowbringers) yes
glossy flare
but you can unlock it simply by having any job at 50
glossy flare
only the HW jobs are locked behind story progression
tidal yarrow
id also recommend rdm btw. recently picked it up, my first caster. it's cute, fun and and seems interesting to play/optimize
verbal rune
Yeah, I'm still far away from lvl 50 tough
tidal yarrow
i don't understand it fully yet
glossy flare
And I actually enjoy SMN quite a bit, I have my little Bahamut
tidal yarrow
like it seems to never proc dualcast if the spell I used was swiftcasted?
glossy flare
What spell do you need to swiftcast? 🤔
violet sun
Guys, as a lvl 30 lancer is it too soon to be thinking about good looking / stats amour? So far I am only wearing what I earn by msq.
jade quartz
correct, swiftcast does not proc dualcast
glossy flare
Gotta admit, I never payed attention to swiftcast on RDM because it's rarely necessary
finite trout
@glad comet
Athrun sorry for the tag
Cause i see them locked behind Seals but i don't see them at the Mercant with poetics... I need to reach the step to let them appear in the shop of the Poetic vendor? Just getting prepared and stocking up materials . Still need to reach Heavensward
tidal yarrow
usually it's red spell into verthunder/verstone
glad comet
i wouldnt bother with supplying for the time being
glossy flare
or vice versa
tidal yarrow
i got told to skip jolt as much as I can
glossy flare
err... verthunder
tidal yarrow
do you ever wanna hard ast verstone/verthunder?
glossy flare
Well admittedly, I'm not familiar with an optimal RDM rotation
open rivet
I can't level this to 80, can I?
tidal yarrow
i use them exclusively when dualcasted or swiftcasted
verbal rune
Also, as a first tank, is PLD or DRK easy to learn?
lost grove
How to beat the lvl 67 drk quest
jade quartz
Both are easy to learn
tidal yarrow
i see
glossy flare
@violet sun At lvl 30 your options for good looking glamours are rather limited tbh, but you can still try
jade quartz
there is no 67 DRK quest, are you having trouble with the 65 one or the 68 one?
violet sun
@violet sun At lvl 30 your options for good looking glamours are rather limited tbh, but you can still try
@glossy flare You mean not to worry about it for a while?
glossy flare
Ah sorry, I mistook verthunder for verfire... you're right of course 🙄
violet sun
I have not unlocked glamour yet
glossy flare
Well you can try to craft something or look for stuff on the market board
Oh yeah in terms of actual equipment you should always go for stats and not looks
Once you unlock glamour you can just make any piece of gear look however you want
outer plank
@jade quartz you can at lv 15, go to vespar bay, you should have a few blue quest there
jade quartz
Wrong @
lost grove
@jade quartz nvm
glossy flare
Do note that you are still limited by your level
outer plank
vespar bay is basically where you go to for the waking sands
glossy flare
Like you can not make a lvl 30 piece of gear look like a lvl 50 piece of gear
It can only go downwards
Like making a lvl 50 piece of gear look like a lvl 30 one
outer plank
but it cant be the other way around
glossy flare
Also the look of your gear considerably improves at 50+ in general
violet sun
righto
outer plank
no making lower ilv gear look like higher ilv gear for obvious reasons
he also has the option
of wolfs den
those glamours past arr are lv 1
violet sun
Cause I go around seeing all other players in really cool looking gear, and here I am with such a weird assortment of clothes all mixed and matched.
outer plank
tis a right of passage
left cliff
I got lucky my fc gave me some cool gear lol
outer plank
tanks get to look like mismatch clowns
glossy flare
Yeah, we all looked ugly during the early levels
outer plank
casters wear a dunce cap
glossy flare
It's a thing
violet sun
haha
tis a right of passage
@outer plank
left cliff
For post ARR
outer plank
what server you on par3ival?
violet sun
hmm, I am playing in Australia, so its the Japanese server, but I can't remember the name for it.
hold on let me check it
patent citrus
Yeah, you'll unlock glamour later. You can browse people showing off their glamour here https://ffxiv.eorzeacollection.com/
violet sun
yeah its the Elemental, Garuda to be specific
patent citrus
oo pretty sure there's a small AU community there
violet sun
picked one where you get that sweet xp boost
thanks for that @patent citrus
so about this Glamour, what appear in your character screen, the one where you equip your amour.
is it the glamour or ..?
patent citrus
can be
outer plank
the icon of your armor doesnt change
glossy flare
A glamour is like a disguise you put over a piece of gear
outer plank
just the appearance
glossy flare
So it's still the same item, it just looks different
violet sun
cause I click on other high lvl players with cool gear and examine what they wear.
patent citrus
ohh just wait like 3 secs
the glamour name will apear
you just hover your mouse to the gear piece and it will change name to the name of the glamour
violet sun
oh no way, I didn't know that
patent citrus
the + sign is the colour/dye of the glamour
violet sun
Thanks for all the help guys, I am having a ton of fun playing the game.

Hello guys, can someone tell me if ACT have some kind of virus or what ? i tried to use it but it ask me to put ACT as an exception in the firewall ? i dont know anything about those thing so i kinda want to be sure its safe

ACT is no virus
fresh lodge
It needs an exception to the firewall because one of the option is to read the game's network data on another computer on the same network

In the fashion report, two correct pieces already net me my 80 points, correct? or do I have to dye a piece as well?

would suggest visiting #kupo-bot-spam and type !fr

My brother-in-law says that there are weekly gold saucer challenges that earn a ton of MGP. Where can I find a list of what these challenges are?
twilit arch
they're in the challenge log
gritty oracle
Yes, but I would like to use a different spread than the guide because I have the tantalus breeches and the anemos jacket on me.
twilit arch
should be enough for 80pts iirc
calm phoenix
Do they reset on Tuesday like everything else?

Is there any level difference with Custom Delivery NPCs?
also, can someone point me to a custom delivery NPC other than the Firmament dragon, cuz I've got no clue

@sullen lark assuming you've done 5.1, Kai-Shirr is also a custom delivery NPC
sullen lark
Okay, thanks

Any healer advice for Sunken Temple of Qarn? It seemed almost impossible to keep up. Tank died a few times and I died before I could raise the tank

glossy flare
At that point you're probably still pretty reliant on GCD heals
calm phoenix
That was not the problem. They were taking more damage than I could keep up healing
patent citrus
oo if you got a video, maybe we can observe
not sure what you doing wrong if you describe it like that 😂
maybe it's the tank's problem who knows
glossy flare
It's not like there is much you can do wrong either tbh
Becaus again, at that lvl you're still mostly on GCD heals
patent citrus
i think qarn is the one that has doom mechanic right?
glossy flare
Yeah, the first one
calm phoenix
I do not record my gameplay so no video. And yes that is. Bosses in there were not the problem. It was trash mobs where I couldnot keep up
patent citrus
yeah, say if that bat boss cast that room wide aoe, you just have to step into the pulsating panel
ooo
glossy flare
big pulls?
calm phoenix
Yes and the tank tried to pull less later which was only a small relief.
glossy flare
Did the tank use mitigation CDs?
raw solstice
the problem you might have run into is the bees
did the tank seem to suddenly take a ton of damage at once?
calm phoenix
Yes. like 75%
raw solstice
there are some bee mobs and if they're not killed (or stunned) before they get the move "final sting" off, they do a ton of damage to whoever they're targetting
you can help by trying to focus them down, along with ideally the tank and dps
raw solstice
stunnable
glossy flare
ah, okay
patent citrus
do healers even get aoe in that level 😂
raw solstice
ideally they're dead before that point
well no but you can specifically target the bees
to kill them sooner
calm phoenix
I know that dungeon is known as the "first trip up dungeon" for the "first derp check dungeon"
raw solstice
I dunno that I'd especially say that, but eh to each their own
glossy flare
Well, the dungeons do increase in difficulty or rather in "stuff you gotta do"
Personally I think Stone Vigil is where most new players derp out
fast hull
question: in watching videos of rotation, I saw those scale things (like a piano) on whats the next step on my rotation? Is that a feature in the game that I am not using and just skipped it?
fast hull
ah thank you
gleaming mist
link the vid
lone nacelle
Does there exist a file repair/missing files installer on the ffxiv launcher?
gleaming mist
it's probably a plugin that shows the actions they used for clarity
lone nacelle
its telling me im missing a dll, and they're asking me to reinstall the entire damn game to fix the problem which seems very excessive
fresh lodge
There isn't a repair function
fast hull
link the vid
@gleaming mist https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6DdE6OdqiUs
gleaming mist
yeah
it's an ACT plugin that shows the action the player uses
easy to follow along with
wouldn't recommend watching desperius' videos btw
he gets a lot of information outright wrong in them
little swift
He makes tier lists too which aren't at all relevant in this game
fast hull
I just like to watch the basics. Like when do you use a new skill when you are not level 80
warped nest
For that
fast hull
most of the rotation is like for level 80 stuff
warped nest
warped nest
That channel
fast hull
yeah currently watching the skill for level 70
little swift
He does rotation examples for jobs at specific milestones
warped nest
Very very useful stuff from this player

Are there any NIN abilities that aren't useful / can be removed from bars?
warped nest
No
patent citrus
ooo do nin has more skills compared to the other class? 🤔
little swift
No
warped nest
A lot of Ninja skills are condensed into one button, specifically the Ninjutsu
patent citrus
it just the usual 3 bars right? 🤔
little swift
Yes
patent citrus
ah ok
warped nest
While Ninja has a lot of Actions on their action and Trait window
It translated to a medium number of hotbar buttons
fast hull
He does rotation examples for jobs at specific milestones

Not sure really, dont spend lots of time here

Try your recruitment channels
You need your appropriate data center role for it
Also it's early morning
patent citrus
hey, just asking "spear of paradise" e1s
as a tank, do i need to use "immunity" does it refer to skill like superbolide etc
or just normal reduction skill is fine
fresh lodge
Skills like Superbolilde

if anyone remember on the top of their head ofc
leaden ginkgo
Thats the double hit no?

You have to invuln that skill if you're not swapping

I was reading an article posted on ARR relics, that if I continue with the zodiac weapon quest that you don’t get the glow feature. Is that true?
leaden ginkgo
how do you buy sub time
twilit arch
certain stages of the relic glow
the final product of ARR relic is glow, and you have to get a zeta (final step) in order to buy replicas of previous steps
magic wren
Oo I see. Thanks.
leaden ginkgo
how do you buy sub
fresh lodge
On the Mogstation
leaden ginkgo
ok
fresh lodge
Or through Steam if you bought it there
leaden ginkgo
do you need to buy game first
twilit arch
yes
leaden ginkgo
because its not showing up
twilit arch
and even if you buy from steam, you still sub thru mogstation

if i buy the game through mogstation do i get the game instanst
or do i have to wait

what do i do with the magicked prism?

Sell them to vendor
Game purchase isn't always instant
You have to get the game license code and register the license to your account

Its just a firework
Its cosmetic
That one just displays the maelstrom logo over your head
leaden ginkgo
no
your misundering
i am purchaseing account upgrade to full game
on mog station
not game code

Who is ayatori

You still need to purchase a game license
And the platform you do it from will provide you a code
To register that
Assuming you don't buy a physical copy
leaden ginkgo
@little swift what do you mean
little swift
That doesn't really change much
Upgrade via mogstation then
It'll walk you through the steps
little swift
You probably weren't within the window of time ahri
leaden ginkgo
does my account get upgrade instant
glacial holly
I thought it was from Oct 20 to Nov 22?
little swift
Assuming you did the steps correctly the license should be applied pretty quick
leaden ginkgo
ok thx

Are you sure you're eligible ahri
