because hard was basically to differentiate it from the 4 man versions for trials. tho i can't think of any dungeon that has a hard tag without having a normal mode @plain python

Do I need a specific class leveled up before I unlock gunbreaker or can it be any class?

opaque pewter
Do I have to be leveled and geared to do heaven on high?
fast hull
? I thought you just need to pass teh 50 floor of Potd to unlock it
twilit arch
no, its like potd in that your gear outside is irrelevant
You just need to be lvl 61 to queue for it
crimson wind
How exactly do you have mentor roulette anyway?
opaque pewter
Oh I meant solo
crimson wind
I thought you said your only 80 was SAM
opaque pewter
Like I can't do HoH right off the bat solo, right?
twilit arch
basically every thing that's not savage, coil, ultimates or current expansion extreme @crimson wind
crimson wind
No i meant how barber had mentor roulette
halcyon glen
Just being a mentor unlocks the option in the menu as best I know
twilit arch
have to be a combat mentor

Hey guys i just started trying to play Healer (WHM) any tips for it? I usually only play tanks
twilit arch
!faq healerguide
zinc orbitBOT
crimson wind
job is to dish out as much dps as possible and keep everybody alive
devout anvil
Damn
twilit arch
is a very good guide to read over
crimson wind
halcyon glen
To summarize the 48.8463 page document - heal smarter, not harder
remote lintel
healing in this game is 90% dpsing
crimson wind
more than 90%
twilit arch
even though its not up to date for shb, still has a lot of good information
halcyon glen
The less GCDs you spend healing, the more you spend making the bad guys take damage, meaning the less you end up having to heal
devout anvil
By the time i hit shb content with whm chances are ill know how to play
crimson wind
can we make a !faq that has all of the Wesk Alber video guides
oak smelt
is blackest night insanely strong or is the healer healing me right as i get hit as well? my health barely drops a sliver with tank busters. and i turn pretty much invincible if i use it with mitigation skills.
it seems to be blocking way more than 25% or my eyes are playing tricks with me.
crimson wind
TBN is broken
halcyon glen
TBN is in fact really good
crimson wind
It's incredibly good
oak smelt
nice. i feel so op lol.
halcyon glen
That said, remember when you pop TBN you want it to break
outer plank
tbn is just that good
remote lintel
- spam your dmg button if you're not healing
- prioritize ogcd heals over gcd heals
- there is no "emergency" button. use all your skills
@devout anvil
oak smelt
yeah i use it for trash pulls and tankbusters/larger hits. get the full usage out of it every time.
outer plank
i think drk is my favorite tank to do bosses with thanks to tbn
halcyon glen
Because while TBN is amazing, you need to remember that it’s the only normal tank cooldown in the game with the potential to be a DPS loss iirc
outer plank
war is my dungeon favorite
crimson wind
it's not a dps loss if you play it smart.
oak smelt
when playing drk do you guys stack tbn with stuff like rampart or stagger them?
halcyon glen
Since unless you break the shield and get the refund, that’s 3k MP you didn’t spend on OGCDs
Depends on the attack
Sometimes you need to
crimson wind
Also known as 500 potency lost
remote lintel
not really because you want it to break
halcyon glen
Usually you don’t.
oak smelt
oh yeah it wont pop otherwise
outer plank
i just dont try to dip below 3k mp unless i know nothing coming up will pop tbn
remote lintel
but if you KNOW a move is going to break it AND will still do a lot of dmg to you, then yes
halcyon glen
That was what I was saying earlier - if TBN doesn’t pop that’s 3k MP not spent on damage
oak smelt
i need to now watch my mp right? previously ive just been spamming the two darkness ogcds as soon it builds to 3000
remote lintel
as long as youre above 3k mp youre fine
halcyon glen
It’s worth keeping enough on hand for a TBN at all times in fights you don’t know
oak smelt
the only way to gen mp on drk is through syphon strike? or is there another way? i think im missing something since my mp randomly goes up sometimes during fights.
remote lintel
blood weapon
halcyon glen
Any weaponskill during blood weapon yep
remote lintel
use blood weapon on cooldown
oak smelt
been playing pld for a while i forgot
remote lintel
and use it with delirium
oak smelt
it fills blood gauge too i think.
remote lintel
yes
halcyon glen
And then if you’re bad like me, realize you forgot to spend gauge and have Blood Weapon and Deliruim both come up while you’re at 90 gauge
remote lintel
me too
scarlet hinge
Will the octoberfest items get removed?
oak smelt
i try to use my bloodspiller so that i dont waste blood guage points
gotta use maths lol
halcyon glen
Once an item is on the Optional Items store, afaik it’s there for good
oak smelt
anyways ive been enjoying drk but it got a lot more fun because of blackest night. no wonder people rave about it.
remote lintel
always feels nice to take an explosion point blank and just get a scratch
halcyon glen
Helps me make up for a certain trust healer’s utter incompetence too
The short one. Obviously.

I just gone to mentor because of tomes but not really the teachy type more of just ask a lot of questions

wait you can put tbn on other party members too?

yes
manic schooner
Hey guys may i ask what happened here? Near the end of their TEA run, Alexander survived at 0.1% hp and seemed to have locked them all in chain? Is that a guaranteed death ability by Alexander?
remote lintel
what you mean why
@manic schooner that's enrage
aka "if you dont deal enough damage you all die at this point"
manic schooner
aka "if you dont deal enough damage you all die at this point"
@remote lintel wow. That's a bit unfair don't you think? Hahaha
remote lintel
no it isnt
all endgame trials/raids have an enrage
it's hard content
you need to be doing optimal damage to beat it
manic schooner
I see.. interesting.. but Alexander surviving at 0.1% feels like a huge pain in the arse.
Lol
remote lintel
thats the beauty of trying to beat ultimates
kind eagle
i failed on 0.1% too
remote lintel
or any endgame content really
raw solstice
conflag strike being faster would probably mostly be accepted as a gain instead of a loss
the dps check isn't very high in the fight and conflag strike downtime is a bit annoying
kind eagle
i was spamming "Shinten" hoping it deal enough dmg
manic schooner
I see.. may i ask whats the reward for finishing TEA? Is it like a super ultra rare mount or glamour?
devout anvil
Why does Whm cutscenes look better animated tham the rest
manic schooner
I see.. how about Alexander mount?
scarlet hinge
Are there weapons in game that are from nier?
remote lintel
no it doesnt drop a mount
kind eagle
for e7s betwix world
manic schooner
I see.. hmm. But the max ilvl gears is gotten via allegory tomestones right? TEA doesnt drop any gear with slightly higher ilvl?
kind eagle
where should dps go
remote lintel
nope its glam
kind eagle
D?
manic schooner
I see.. cool.. i think thats a good concept for and endgame raid compaired to other mmo:s where u get the max ilvl from the endgame raid itself
kind eagle
remote lintel
well you get bis from doing savage
raw solstice
dps for betwixt world will go to a specific spot depending on strat
remote lintel
but ultimates are never required
kind eagle
Do you understand what he is saying?
raw solstice
generally "cross T" is teh most common strat
remote lintel
because theyre the hardest content in the game
kind eagle
1 A 2 B?
manic schooner
well you get bis from doing savage
@remote lintel ohh so allegory drops from savage?
manic schooner
I see...
raw solstice
4321 is interesting
kind eagle
4321?
raw solstice
are you familiar with cross-t positioning?
manic schooner
Ok thanks
raw solstice
ok so basically like
if you have rightmost tether you go top left. If you have leftmost tether, you go top right
kind eagle
cross map?
raw solstice
most common strat has tnak/heal stacks going left and right, just outside of the split of the arena, with dps going straight down mid
in a straight line
kind eagle
so i have left i goto top right
raw solstice
with this they have tank/hears in mid lane for stacks, and have 2/3 where the tank/healer stacks would be instead
and tank/healer stacks in middle two lanes
raw solstice
if you're dps and you have the tether to the top left add, you go to the top right corner
raw solstice
leftmost add goes top right, rightmost add goes top left
little swift
raw solstice
mid left add goes just to the left of the partition. mid right add goes just to the right of the partiiton
that's not the strat they have in the macro
this isn't cross-t
they have mid dps and tank/healer stacks swapped
little swift
i see it now lmao
kind eagle
I dont understand that pic
raw solstice
basically take that pic
but the mid two dps
swap places with the tank/healer pairs
on their side
remote lintel
wait is cross t the criss cross ones
raw solstice
yeah it's that for this strat
kind eagle
jesus
remote lintel
i was gonna send that
kind eagle
oh
little swift
they send tanks and healers south down the map
kind eagle
if im d2
little swift
and dps go all the way out
kind eagle
i go right top
little swift
it depends on which tether you get
kind eagle
so either top right or left
raw solstice
no
kind eagle
only tank and healer at center
remote lintel
youre either left/right and forward/behind
raw solstice
tank/healer only in center lanes sure
stuck flame
kinda curious about trying out blue mage, anybody free to help me get kills from high level enemy to speed leveling it up?
raw solstice
but depending on your tether you're going in one of the corners or slightly south and in from there
remote lintel
you always go to the opposite side of your portal
and if youre one of the middle portals youre behind the other dps
raw solstice
yeah
remote lintel
yes
raw solstice
yup exactly
kind eagle
ty
but then
i have no idea which is which
like where the tether is at
cause its kinda messy
raw solstice
you have a physical tether
a line going from you to one of the adds
you have to look to see which the line is connecting you to
remote lintel
go up to the front of the arena
and turn your camera straight down
so you're looking at yourself from above
little swift
kinda curious about trying out blue mage, anybody free to help me get kills from high level enemy to speed leveling it up?
@stuck flame try #recruitment-primal or try putting up a pf for it in game
kind eagle
and before add
leaden ginkgo
how do you set a flag on the map based on coordinates?
say i was looking for an npc at x10.2 y12.3
how do i set a flag based on that?
little swift
open the actual map
kind eagle
you have to bait eruption
little swift
and ctrl+right click
kind eagle
then run to the corner right
leaden ginkgo
no i want to enter the coordinates
little swift
yeah open your actual map
and you can set the flag at the coordinates
and then you can send that as a message
little swift
the command after the flag is set is <flag>
if you're standing on top of the coordinate
<pos> works as well
leaden ginkgo
yeah it puts a flag there but
jade quartz
Now you enter <flag> in chat
leaden ginkgo
is there no way to do like,
<flag> (xcord) (ycord)
jade quartz
which iwas in fact automatically done for you when you placed it
leaden ginkgo
so i dont have to ever open the map
kind eagle
kind eagle
For this thing
jade quartz
there is not
kind eagle
how did i die
leaden ginkgo
ahh okay
kind eagle
im not close the tank
kind eagle
only circle overlap alittle
little swift
there's 2 sets of balls though
the ones that fire from the inside
and the ones that fire from the outside
were you topped off enough?
little swift
were you stacked onto the tank?
kind eagle
no
little swift
were you touching their aoe
little swift
you have magic vuln after the marker resolves
mossy heart
Alboise is not spawning in Ultros?
little swift
that shouldn't be the case @mossy heart shes in whitebrim
npcs don't just randomly not spawn in a server
you spread out out enough so the circles overlap but your bodies don't
fast hull
question how long does it take to fill out the blue mage spell thingy 1 year
mossy heart
The main story quest said that he is suppose to be here, and he is not. There are a couple players here looking for him but hes not there
little swift
are you on the lv39 msq
jade quartz
question how long does it take to fill out the blue mage spell thingy 1 year
lol no you can do it in a week if you put your mind to it
mossy heart
Yes i am
fast hull
Ah ok I'll try
little swift
watch from the timestamp
it'll show you how to get to her
its a door behind the blue tent
not up the stairs
mossy heart
Ahh okay so im just dumb lmao, thank you for the help
kind eagle
Then what is the hard part
little swift
the hardest part might just be add phase imo
and seeing unjoined aspect portals the first time
hybrid bramble
I may consider buying tales of adventure for scholar as well since I bought summoner. After I activate both of those, and for example, if I level up summoner to 75, will the scholar level up to 75 automatically or no?
hybrid bramble
Okay, because I thought both summoner and scholar are the part of arcanist, and thank goodness I don't have to buy the other
remote lintel
yes they are
remote lintel
if you have a lvl 70 summoner then you have a lvl 70 arcanist
which means you have a lvl 70 scholar
hybrid bramble
Awesome! Thanks!
ripe hound
I'm finally able to pull of a perfect Ninja opener!

scarlet hinge
Are there weapons in game that are from nier?
outer plank
@scarlet hinge no
kind eagle
Or moving around
outer plank
just the glamour coffer
scarlet hinge
Hope there a weapons in the next raid like weapons that were from the actual game
the spear, gauntlet, short sword, long sword etc
raw solstice
very unlikely
faint flare
24mans basically never have weapons
outer plank
its gonna be just another token to upgrade the next set of tomestone gear were getting
but the next alliance raid wont be till 4.5
same as usual
scarlet hinge
There is so much potential with putting nier weapons in the game
pretty much every class will get one
outer plank
they're arent gonna do it, you can probably replicate nier items if you look hard enough
scarlet hinge
except a couple
outer plank
theres like 200ish models
little swift
@kind eagle its a combination of the mechanics and getting through the "dps check"
moving the add as a tank isn't tough at all
i may call it what i think is the toughest part, but its not terrible though there's room for errors punished by damage downs
outer plank
very few mechanics require an interupt, but you can yell if the cast bar is glowing red
raw solstice
the first AoE in adds phase is always "stay close to your add". The second one, one add has "stand close", the other one is "move far away". The vertical ring is stay close, the horizontal ring is "move away"
little swift
mechanic that gives you damage downs is the one rika is talking about
"strength in numbers"
enough people getting hit by it can cripple you a heckload
advent of light is pretty easy to interrupt
the tanks have plenty of time to do it
if you really wanted to there's a strat to have everyone but the tanks stack in the same spot (usually the center of the arena) to deal with all stack markers
kinda sucks for melees a bit
but its easy to heal through
little swift
its really not as tough as i'm making it out to be
your job as a dps is just to bait the aoe's from the blasphemy behind the boss
and resolve hte stack
also to kill the adds (obviously)
you want to be hit by the opposite colour of what you are for every colour specific mechanic
matching the colours will kill you
kind eagle
Theres an aoe?
static yacht
does lost focus work on casters?
kind eagle
And is there time limit
jade quartz
yep there's your answer
little swift
line aoe's come out of the blasphemy, while a stack marker appears over 2 of your party members
the aoes resolve and then the stack marker goes off
you have a decent amount of time to kill the idolatrys
you have a bit under 2.5minutes to kill both the idolatrys and the blasphemy
but you have 1 minute 56 to get through the idolatrys
raw solstice
stack markers appear on 2nd on aggro table of each add btw
raw solstice
mmhmm~
each AoE also comes from blasphemy to each dps as well
so it's possible to bait a bit as well
little swift
people tend to bait the aoes behind the moving idolatry so it doesn't fire in the path that the tanks want to move
mossy trellis
is lvl 60 DoH Equip buyable ? or only via crafting?

nope, can get poetics completely freely. Only cap for them is you can only hold 2k total at any given time
other than that you cam farm them freely

oblique trellis
So (for DRK) - is it better to equip a Helm with 82 def, and a chest with 82 def, or a chest with 120 def but can't equip a helm with it?

I mean that's 164 def vs 120
oblique trellis
that's what I figured but I feel super squish
hasty musk
is all your other gear up to code

General rule of thumb is to equip your highest item level stuff that’s appropriate for your role
Which for pre-50 is gear that lists all the tank jobs individually, with accessories giving strength and vitality.

The level 29 stuff is honestly good enough until 50
The stat growth for accessories pre-50 is very slow

and when you get up to 50 you can get accessories in ishgard

ironworks would be higher than the ishgard 50 gear I think

@sinful mist thanks
sinful mist
I think Dwarven cotton is the lowest 80 set.
twilit arch
wouldn't bother with dwarven tbh, would look to see if facet or aesthete is cheap and buy one of those
leaden ginkgo
would it be worth crafting my own facet/aesthete?
little swift
Sure if you can manage it
twilit arch
if they're super expensive if might be more better to make your own
little swift
Can be a bit more time consuming if you gather everything on your own
sinful mist
Oh I assumed he wanted to craft and start low xD
little swift
Can also consider getting some white scrips together so your stats can catch up a bit with scrip gear
twilit arch
even if you wanted to start crafting your own stuff, tbh i wouldn't recommend dwarven anyway. you're just making things longer on yourself

Hi Ive a question
My new character from a few months ago, had access to my main characters mounts. Even the fenrir I had. But the character I just made, does not. How come?
twilit arch
i2501 is a unfortunately a broad error. some recommendations are: try using a different browser, try using mobile data, or turn off any vpn you may be using
if none of those help, contact support
little swift
Mounts aren't all account wide
If you're referring to the fenrir from the gold saucer that's definitely not account wide

Nah it was from golden saucer. You can get one from mogstation too? The same one?

twilit arch
and likely gonna be useable a fair bit into the leveling process

leaden ginkgo
thavranian dust like the battle relics?
verbal rune
So wait, out of curiosity, when do you think there will be next expansion?
twilit arch
prob aug/sept
glossy flare
Next year, presumably
little swift
To make 1 tool minimum costs 4340 yellow scrips
verbal rune
Uhm...
little swift
For all 4 steps
leaden ginkgo
holy molly, that's a load of scrips
verbal rune
So I guess I should buy the complete edition before anyway
little swift
Late next year would be the best prediction gemini
verbal rune
Ok, good
leaden ginkgo
is the purple tool better than astethe tool?
verbal rune
I didn't want to buy complete edition and right after the new expansion, but it's far away, so the problem is no existant
little swift
Its expensive though
warped nest
Yeah
jade quartz
well it's RNG is the thing
leaden ginkgo
oof
warped nest
Alternatively, you can do a "more expensive than budget but not as expensive as Penta" meld
And make food to supplement
leaden ginkgo
that sounds better
I almost always use food anyway
I think I'll get the armor first
warped nest
If you want to be more cost effective, put more money to the shared pieces and maybe consider using scrip for some of your tools
In the context of 5.X better endgame doh gear means you don't need to spend more time or money to make/get HQ materials to consistently produce HQ product
If you don't mind spending more time, you can skimp out a lil bit on the melds
leaden ginkgo
well depends on the end game materials
I should probably make a plan
but all this advice really put me in the right direction, thank you

hey guys, how do i increase my retainer's max level? it seems to be stuck at 9
gentle quarry
I think it's based on the job level that you picked for him
like if you're lvl 20 aarcher, he can only be max lvl 19 archer
manic schooner
ohh i see, my arcanist retainer's mxa level is only 9? hmm
gentle quarry
something like that
manic schooner
omg ur right, my arcanist level is only 9 lol
i see.. is it okay if both my retainers have same job?
SAM is my highest level
twilit arch
its generally recommended to make your retainer a job you intend to level
gentle quarry
should be fine, but they recommend at least having 1 gatherer of some kind if possible
twilit arch
since one, as state it can only go as high as you are in that job, and two you can give it old gear you don't need
gentle quarry
but yeah put them as your main job for now
manic schooner
i see. alright thanks!
twilit arch
also generally recommend to go atleast 1 gatherer, but if you dont intend to level them
then its kind of moot to make them one
manic schooner
yea, i dont have a single DoH/DoL job yet xD
gentle quarry
then just make them both your DoW job and swap later
no reason missing on stuff you can gather from their ventures
manic schooner
alright thanks!
open rivet
Is there a known list of items that can be brought back from a quick venture?
zinc orbitBOT
graceful basin
@open rivet There might be a comprehensive list but it’s likely insane, lol. I’ve had my retainers bring me back everything from a stump 😒 to someone’s roof 🙃 to actual useful gear and expensive furniture items. Just make sure your retainer is properly geared (at or close to his or her level) to get the most bang/loot for your buck/venture. And keep sending them out. 😁

Is there any disadvantage of bringing 2 of same tank to savage fights ?
glossy flare
Diversity means more party utility, generally

Hi everyone! Very new to the game - what is recommended in terms of purchasing subscriptions/dlc? Start off with free trial until 60?
glossy flare
That being said, two of the same job won't mean you can not clear it though
Yeah, stick to the free trial for now and see if it works for you
The starter edition has the same content as the free trial but without the social restrictions
glossy flare
If you happen to really like the game then complete edition it is
rapid aurora
so.. what's the new equivalent of Demicrystals these days? I've got an empty wallet of gil and a full wallet of poetics.

Great, thanks guys 😄 Will just stick to trial until around 60 🙂

can doh/dol gear be cast as glamours for other classes? some of this looks nice but i don't think i'd be able to use it

Some is locked to doh/dol, some of it is for all classes
In case of the latter, yes
leaden ginkgo
whats does error 401 on mog station mean
jade lava
Some is locked to doh/dol, some of it is for all classes
@glossy flare what about something like the hamlet puller's hat? it says fsh so i'd assume only fishermen can use it
leaden ginkgo
how do i fix it
gentle quarry
err what were you trying to do when you get the 401?
glossy flare
@jade lava Yes, if it specifically mentions a job that it is for it can only be glammed onto stuff for that job
jade lava
ah well that's a shame
manic schooner
is this Alexander?
fresh lodge
Yes
manic schooner
awesome. TEA, im getting there!
btw, should i finish patch 3.1-3.5 MSQ first before watching Stormblood cinematics? or I shud do it before?
young fjord
TEA is a bit different from the normal alexander raid
finite trout
Guys how long does it take usually to find a raid for the Labyrinth of the Ancients? Cause story seems locked behind these side quests
young fjord
@finite trout Should not be to long as it's part of the roulette, however as always it will take longer if you queue tank
As there are only 3 tanks in there
Compared to 6healers or 15DPS slots
finite trout
Well i'm a paladin...
Guess i'll be locked like a day from MSQ... Cause i see 2 more raid
Syrcus tower and The World of Darkness
young fjord
It's not impossible
Just takes longer
Also it's most popular to do after reset
!reset
zinc orbitBOT
Tick, Tock, Kupo!
young fjord
So in like 2h 15min a lot of people should be in queue for it

alpine heath
Hi, is there a website with a bunch of useful macros that aren't 4yo dated?
young fjord
@alpine heath What kind of macros?
honest anvil
What’s se(number)? i see others say in chat often. Mostly japanese players
alpine heath
Uh just useful ones like marking the target's target, healer macros, stuff like swift cast res etc@young fjord
gusty pasture
is parsing bannable
young fjord
@honest anvil It's sound effects for the party,
So if I do
<se.1>
It will play sound effect number one for the party, good to use when you want people atttention
@gusty pasture Yes, however unless you actually speak about it in game you are most likely not getting banned
honest anvil
ohh that’s useful. Tks tks
gusty pasture
what about those literally with the text "Parsing" in party finder runs
twilit arch
macros aren't recommended for the most part
young fjord
What about them? It's against the ToS, if you feel offended by them report them, otherwise just ignore them @gusty pasture
twilit arch
There's some QoL ones that are ok to use like for salted earth/asylum/sacred soil since ground aoes can be a bit annoying to place
twilit arch
marking targets aren't really useful tho
alpine heath
Well personal preference and opinion I guess
twilit arch
since most of the time, in dungeons, people are just going to be AoEing anyway
gusty pasture
I was thinking about getting the addon just so I can check my personal dps and see the difference in my damage numbers whenever I screw up rotations, or lose uptime etc.
young fjord
I pretty much only use target macros for the "Help the other tank" abilities, narcent, intervention ec.t.
twilit arch
anyway generic macro would be
/micon "Salted Earth"```with /ac "Salted Earth" <t> being repeated to fill of the max number of lines to make sure it goes off
leaden ginkgo
I crafted an item, but it wasn't added to my crafting log (the notification didn't appear, and there's no green check mark on the crafting log) is that normal for master recipes?
proud willow
It is
alpine heath
That's a very common one I was more like asking for a website or reddit full of them. But thanks anyways
proud willow
Master recipes don't record that they've been crafted and they don't count towards the #X unique crafts achievements
alpine heath
There is, I found 5, they're just dated.
young fjord
The only macro lists you will find will be crafting related
twilit arch
macros have a delay and do not skill queue
alpine heath
Just google useful macros ffxiv and you'll find a bunch of websites and reddits of them
twilit arch
And most of those are trash
gaunt brook
So say im levelling a level 71 class to 80 in Bozjan front, do i get any memories of dying
twilit arch
and not worth using
young fjord
Using macros for combat is like 40-60% damage loss compared to manual casting
alpine heath
No they're quite useful but then again I wasnt asking about that
gaunt brook
like do i need the relic weapon equipped
alpine heath
They're just dated, since there doesnt seem to be new ones thanks for the help!
twilit arch
You are likely not going to find an up-to-date site with macros because of what i just said
wispy parcel
all you need is the quest active to get the memories
you dont even have to be the same job you started the quest with
twilit arch
the only ones that are going to be up to date are crafted macros since those ones are far more useful than combat macros
gaunt brook
ty!*
young fjord
@gaunt brook I don't remember the names, but you only get memories based on the area you are in
Yellow are in the south
blue is middle (I think)
red it top(I think)

yeah thanks i just wanna level a load of classes in there and not be wasting time

I just hit level 80 SAM and got Meditation + Shoha, but im a bit confused about it, you build up 3 stacks of meditation and get the ability to perform Shoha but it's.. only a 400 potency attack?
what's.... the point? it's a pretty weak move
pine bluff
I.. guess so.. it just feels super anti climactic? midare is 800 and hissastu senei is 1100
agile laurel
yeah. it kinda is
if you accept that the way to use it is just no thoughts press the glowing button
it is what it is
leaden ginkgo
can anyone accaulty help me
pine bluff
mm I guess so
agile laurel
can anyone accaulty help me
players are in this server. there is nobody from your card company, or SE here
i'd recommend fixing your attitude also but that's beside the point
twilit arch
for one, you need to chill. and for two, this is literally an issue we can't help with
its an issue with the bank/se and they're literally the only ones who can fix it
sure you could try another card, but its possible you'll just run into the same issue
and will ultimately simply have to contact the bank about it since they're the ones deeming it fraud
agile laurel
you are asking for a non existent miracle cure from people who literally cannot provide one in the first place
be patient, wait for contact from people who can fix it
leaden ginkgo
i word
on a bunch of sites
they say in the end theres nothing we can do
and my dads has to concact them
@pine bluff it’s anti climactic but yeah free potency
bronze narwhal
Does Grand Company rank, squadron, and seals reset if you switch between Grand Companies?
proud willow
you start in the new GC from scratch, the old rank/seals are frozen in case you ever switch back
squadron might remain the same though? I'm not sure about that one
bronze narwhal
dang so I need to climb the rank again if I do switch
proud willow
Right
bronze narwhal
okay the question changes then, can you get other GC armor, as in glamours?
young fjord
Not to bad, as if you are max level you can just hand in dungeon loot no one wants
proud willow
your old GC armor won't be equippable anymore
and also won't work as a glamour anymore
bronze narwhal
I see : (
bronze narwhal
is it hard again, to level your rank to max? its been ages, I dont remember
I mean, how long does it take?
twilit arch
not really, can smash the hunting log out pretty quickly
if you've got doh/dol unlocked, the daily turn ins will also help make getting to sergeant second class even quicker
might need to do a few fates or leveling roulette to help boost
but once you get to sergeant second class should be pretty easy sailing since can solo (assuming 70+) something like the aery to turn in a bunch of dungeon gear for the rest of the seals needed
quaint flicker
is it worth hardcasting thunder in fire phase for blm
bronze narwhal
I see, oh right expert deliveries wont be available until further rank
so its leves and stuff

in this housing screenshot, it looks like they added partitions to the first floor of a large house, and the wallpaper matches the wallpaper they set. the wallpaper is the alpine inner wall, but there isn't an alpine partition. how'd they get the partition to match the wallpaper?

does anyone know if i can buy ffxiv form gamestop
twilit arch
it'll take between 6-8 weeks to get enough fashion report points to get the bottoms

They discotinued physical copies of XIV

6 weeks if you get 100pts every time, 8 if you just do 80pts

i know
but cant i get a code form gamestop on a resceipt
]is what i mean
i dont mean phyiscal copie
wispy parcel
Gamestop only sells timecards for XIV
leaden ginkgo
oh ok thank you
wispy parcel
60 days I believe
leaden ginkgo
so i can only get it form there website
wispy parcel
Im not sure if you can get it on their website, when I used time cards I just went to my local one
leaden ginkgo
@wispy parcel i seen that i can get the game off the set

If youre on PC the only 2 places you can get XIV is the official square website or steam

no it says i can get it right there sora

What happens when your account runs out of playtime days(Subscription). I currently have 29 days left of playtime for FFXIV but have no card activated for automatic subscription i have question.
Sorry if this does not make sense. xD
- Will your loot,gear and character stay after the 29 days are done till i renew?
rotund sable
yeah
oak ice
You just can't log in, the account won't be terminated
twilit arch
you won't be able to log in to the game and play until you pay
forest laurel
your character stays until you delete it yourself
fickle parrot
Ahhh right thanks for the answers all
forest laurel
also iirc if you have 2 characters in 1 world
and you go for entry sub, the character you logged in as last will be the only available one
and you can't delete the locked character at all
fickle parrot
I only have 1 anyway

gritty oracle
May be offtopic, but how can I make OBS record only my (windowed) FFXIV game, plus the overlay I have?
fossil blade
rotund sable
augmented crystarium and savage are the only ways
crystarium can easily be upgraded by buying mats from clan hunts, or the coins you get from alliance raids
gusty storm
when to reroll cards
rotund sable
although the coins are weekly locked, or at least the puppets one is
dusty jungle
You'll need to use the websocket plugin to get the overlay to work. You'll use a browser source window to capture and overlay it @gritty oracle
Here's the steps
dusty jungle
That won't capture the overlay which is what they're asking
leaden ginkgo
then nvm
gritty oracle
ooh thanks guys!
cedar compass
how do you augment the crystarium gear?
gritty oracle
Reset is in 20 minutes, correct?
You get a Crystalline Glaze (accessories+belt), Twine (left side) or Ester (weapon) and trade it in with your unaugmented thing to get the augmented thing. Don't forget to retrieve materia beforehand.
You can get the crystalline stuff from:
- 1 runs of copied and puppet's, trade in the coins
- 3000 nuts for one crystalline
- drops from savage (6 for glaze, 7 for twine, 8 for ester)

you might have been in a level 50 dungeon when you checked them before

I was going through PotD this past hour, so I have no clue

Bottom line is that your positionals generate additional Kenki
So without the Kenki gauge unlocked they don't matter

Out of curiosity
Armors on female characters are still bulky, or are they slimmed down?
glossy flare
Depends on the armour
twilit arch
most of the time, what it looks like on dudes its going to look like on girls
glossy flare
They obviously take the more female frame into account
twilit arch
there are a few instances where there's significant/obvious changes
glossy flare
But most of the time they don't suddenly get tight or something
verbal rune
Uhm, I see
glossy flare
But also what Samhain says
Sometimes guys get pants while girls get a skirt for example
But for the majority of gear it doesn't matter

When do ffXIV base games usually go on sale? I’m super broke but really want to play!
left sedge
Cool how much do they lower?
open ember
Uhh
I think maybe down to $30-$20
But you'd only need to buy Shadowbringers
You can play the free trial up to lv60
So you can play now no cost
left sedge
Ty!!
open ember
You're welcome
outer plank
@left sedge you need the base game and the expansion
the expansion alone won't get you into the content past 60
you will still be treated as a free trial user until you buy the base game.
and don't quote me here but base game comes with stormblood as well i believe.
outer plank
just play, the game is simple enough

ok

just remember to do your roulettes and main scenario/job quests

@scenic cape vespar bay has some blue quest that unlock glamour and dyes at lv 15, pretty sure you can only do potd 1-49 on free trial, but now you can do floors 51+ now. ummm im gonna assume you're not that far into the game so not particularly yet

It's not time limited?
