Wanna ask something on buying the game on steam
If i buy it would it auto link
Or theres additional steps?
strange coral
I believe when you purchase on steam, it gives you a code that you need to enter in to Mogstation to link it
eager plume
On the lvl 60 pre-pull combo of RDM,after you use Acceleration, you can start casting Verthunder/Veraero right after acceleration or you have to cast Jolt for the dualcast?
faint flare
Prepull you hardcast Aero/thunder at 5s after using acceleration

I need some help, I am looking at the square enix account linking and I can't click the steam option. I'm from Singapore but for some reason my square enix account is singapore region and at North America?
Apparently I need to be in NA to buy the copy for a NA account
What should I do
it shows something like this
so is the system looking at my first tab or second tab

My guess, you in Singapore but made account on the american server. Buy copy of game from Singapore, pretty sure it only looks at country/region

sorry to ask, but what do I do with augmented neo-ishgardian gear? I've used Bozja to replace some of the augmented neo pieces I had, and I realized I can't turn them in for the Novelty certs, so do I just keep them for glam / sell them for seals?
open coral
Pretty much.

alright! didn't want to overlook anything there, so thank you
open coral
Depending on your level and class, I think that's one of the ones that can be soloed unsynced
glossy flare
I'm fairly certain you can solo that one at 80
minor aspen
@open coral yeah I'm level 80 but I need help learning the fight better
480 gear stat too
glossy flare
if you unsync it most mechanics don't matter anyway
But there should be guides over on yt
minor aspen
Fair enough I suppose I started leveling Sam to be able to solo some of these
Bc I didn't know of I could do enough on my DRK
glossy flare
Eh, DRK is maybe even better for some fights
cedar compass
How do I spirit bond max level gear?
glossy flare
same as any other gear, by using it
minor aspen
It's level 60
cedar compass
Does it take long? Idk if I should spirit bond the relic weapon before upgrading it to not lose the materia
raven sage
fates in general won't do much for spiritbond
minor aspen
I figured I supposed since Tanks obviously have more Defence
raven sage
You might wanna run instances
glossy flare
Well DRK is still not great at soloing things because it lacks the selfheal compared to the others
GNB also isn't too great
But WAR and especially PLD are good
minor aspen
I wanted to do PLD bc I know a lot of its capapbilities
glossy flare
Anyway, most lvl 60 extremes are no problem at all unsynced
Savage is where you start noticing problems
halcyon glen
Alternatively just get a second person for thok ast thok
And then kill the bug in 45 seconds
minor aspen
That's what I'm thinking/asking tbh
halcyon glen
A 3rd cuts it down to 30s
glossy flare
Yeah maybe throw up a pf for it
You're probably not the only one who wants the bird
halcyon glen
Yeah throw up a pf with the word Birb in it, or ask your FC for help
minor aspen
I dont have nor am I a part of one been trying to find one actually
halcyon glen
I recommend then a nice corny description for PF farms like “REJOICE IN THE GLORY OF BIRD FARM!”

Oh damn

Its a small side quest after joining one
jade thorn
cuz context is I’m trying to get from ul Dah to gridania but there are like lvl 45 enemies when I’m level 13
jade thorn
my story quests start with my guild right?
faint flare
No, quests with 
jade thorn
that makes sence
jade thorn
Wasn’t sure cuz some of these main quests feel like fetch quests
But. Maybe that’s cuz I rarely play mmo’s
fast hull
are you in post ARR?
jade thorn
no I’m noob
manic schooner
guys where do the retainers field exploration loots go?
fast hull
oh Post ARR is the legendary fetch quest. At least now you have flying XD
faint flare
The story does feel like fetch quests often. Especially early and post patches
manic schooner
oh someone actually said nov20... hope its the former xD
minor aspen
Lol I'll shut up now
manic schooner
awesmoe, i guess theres enough time for everyone to save up matador
fierce helm
hmmm with BLM, do you cast non-proc thunders in fire phase if it's gonna fall off? does it use up too much mana and affect things?
minor aspen
Only use thunder in ice phase fire is your main source of dps
Also how do I set up a post to see who else wants to run heavensward extreme trials
manic schooner
guys i heard DRK is much more fun to play before the ShB rework. is it true?
glossy flare
Eh, I enjoy the new drk more
But it is of course subjective, a lot of vocal people were unhappy with the changes
minor aspen
I like current DRK
manic schooner
i see, yea read lots in the forum.
I wasnt able to play the old DRK tho so i can never compare lol...
but im currently happy with the new one
glossy flare
If I'm being honest though it could use a tad more complexity
But overall it's good
minor aspen
I feel that
manic schooner
ohh so its super simple to play optimally now even for ultimates?
glossy flare
Not the easiest job you can ever think of simple, no
But still very straight forward
Then again, all tanks are straight forward
manic schooner
i see. alright good to know
halcyon glen
It’s not Paladin
glossy flare
You pretty much just use all your offensive tools on cooldown and try to not overcap on resources
minor aspen
True PLD IS NUTS
glossy flare
Which is a rather basic principle
wispy parcel
DRK very much is basically WAR now but its mitigation works differently
glossy flare
If you're looking for a tank that feels busy I'd try GNB though
Not that it's that much busier but with the continuation combo you do feel badass
manic schooner
yea i actually started with GNB didnt feel like it cuz its combos are kinda similar to SAM and i main SAM already llol. so i siwtched to DRK
glossy flare
I do not see that similarity tbh 😄
manic schooner
they both have multiple 1-2-3 combo sets xD
glossy flare
well... true
wispy parcel
my main issue with gnb is that its the worst of the 4 at the actual tanking part
fierce helm
PLD is the only one with good ranged attacks though. very useful if you need to run around and stand in towers.
manic schooner
really? but superbole is super
wispy parcel
Superbolied is just a worse hallowed ground
Hallowed Ground being PLDs super ability
Just makes them completely invinsible
No trade off
vapid veldt
superbolide has a shorter cd, lets them cheese stuff more often
autumn oriole
manic schooner
also DRK is the only one with a bulky shield right? aka blackest night
manic schooner
definitely, its one of the reasons i switched
glossy flare
It's pretty much the reason to play drk tbh 😄
little swift
Gunbreaker has a shield baked into single target combo
patent citrus
can't just strawman it and call it similiar 😂
yeah, just play what you like hehe
tbh i only level'd my gnb and my drk, drk is for the story and gnb for the gameplay
wispy parcel
PLD: Has an ability for any situation
WAR: Absurd Self healing with Nascent Flash
DRK: TBN being on short cooldown and is basically free
GNB: Good DPS
patent citrus
and i tried to play sam yesterday, failed miserably 😂
manic schooner
its fun mate, ur at the top of the dps race. primary reason why i main SAM
patent citrus
and i think that delirium and doing braver 4 times afterthat looks nice as drk
patent citrus
nah, i just did that cause i was unsync'ing old savage content and we needed dps hehe
wispy parcel
By a decent bit
patent citrus
i rarely play dps
i needed it to do my dps role msq, and after that i never touched them
manic schooner
really? if every class played optimally and have BiS.. i thought it was SAM
also saw some max dps vids on youtube and i see SAM at the top
manic schooner
wow cant believe my eyes
wispy parcel
Its just being an optimal BLM is much harder
little swift
Idk what videos you're watching 
glossy flare
Me? <.<
little swift
Liberi
glossy flare
Ah
patent citrus
i think he's implying if the boss has a lot of dodge mechanic, inexperienced blm player has disadvantage
little swift
Max dps vids sound like desperius
patent citrus
whereas sam can just rely on their reaction
little swift
And that's
little swift
Alright we strayed too far off topic
manic schooner
Max dps vids sound like desperius
@little swift mix of desperious and fox
glossy flare
I used to watch that guy a lot when I started xiv tbh, didn't know he had such a bad rep 🤔
Why?
little swift
Draperies put lots of effort into his content but I don't think you should use his stuff for info
patent citrus
i followed his macro leveling 1-80 ishgardian, big mistake 😂
little swift
There's a lot of nuance/personal bias he puts into them that makes some of the information less than accurate often
patent citrus
like skip all the job quest for the sake of convenience, i ended up spending more than 100k as a newbie
glossy flare
Ah yeah, that was actually the reason I stopped consuming his content
vapid veldt
he kinda plays a game of telephone with the balance when it comes to guides
just simplifies everything
glossy flare
Just sounded like he was actually hated for some reason
patent citrus
to just fit for his macro
zinc orbitBOT
little swift
Imo you can skip the crafter job quests until 70 and just overpower them with stats
But it'll be more effort
manic schooner
like skip all the job quest for the sake of convenience, i ended up spending more than 100k as a newbie
@patent citrus what skip all job quests? but then ull some skills.. why wud he suggest that xD
patent citrus
yeh, i ended up melding my lv 60 doh gear, just to get enough gp to fit his macro -_-
<- stupid me
i didn't know this server has doh/dol channel
little swift
It requires a little more brain power in that way
patent citrus
i realised how bad that guide was until someone tag me with #doh-dol-lounge
and read the doc
little swift
Like don't get me wrong he does put lots of effort into his content
And the production is fine
Its the info I have difficulty supporting for new players
wispy parcel
And theres also the fact that well, BLM and SAM have the highest dps but lack any and all party utility. Its why in my head for high end content you want at least one SMN on your team
manic schooner
guys about the charts.. why is SAM ranked 2nd when SMN clearly deals more dmg?
wispy parcel
A good SMN can reach BLM levels of DPS
vapid veldt
this is ranked by 50th percentile
little swift
Also I think we're scaring people from asking questions
vapid veldt
scroll down and sort by maximum
manic schooner
this is ranked by 50th percentile
@vapid veldt SMN stil higher @ 50th percentile
fierce helm
And is generally easier to play than BLM
manic schooner
ohh i see yep SAM higher on 75th
vapid veldt
judging dps based on a dummy scenario (e5s) isn't very practical either since fight timings and mechs can favour different jobs
e.g. adds on e7s boost dot jobs
ultimate downtime favours smn
, etc.
manic schooner
is there FFlogs for TEA? i think that shud be the best testing grounds for whos top DPS
tidal yarrow
there is
fierce helm
Just waiting for that mech that favors only ranged physical though... XD
vapid veldt
tea heavily favours smn
since they have dots for the multiple target phases
and get to spend more time in burst phases cause of the downtime
manic schooner
the heck its a landslide for SMN in TEA. i wonder why
i see, wow uve predicted my question lol
fierce helm
can't seem to think of a fight that favors ranged phys tbh
vapid veldt
brd has dots for tea
wispy parcel
SMN has the DPS of a SAM with the party utility of an RDM
vapid veldt
super strong in the first two phases
manic schooner
whats rDPS and aDPS?
wispy parcel
It helps that most of SMN dps is from dots
vapid veldt

!faq fflogs dps
zinc orbitBOT
little swift
!faq fflogsdps
zinc orbitBOT
manic schooner
thanks
i wonder why they have to separate those dps types. just pDPS alone comparison is good enough
vapid veldt
it's because padding pDPS is a thing
dnc can give a permanent 5% dps boost
- devilment
also ast cards can be funneled
and drg tether
etc
fierce helm
So optimally you should do no dmg under raid buffs to pad rDPS
vapid veldt
no
glossy flare
why?
vapid veldt
rdps is the damage you would do if there are no buffs + the dps the party gained from your buffs
so when buffs happen is irrelevent
fierce helm
You'd lower everyone else's rDPS
vapid veldt
since only the extra dps is subtracted
glossy flare
No, rdps does take into account the buffs your provide
fierce helm
So you just throw out a buff and then not do much dmg during others' buff 🤣
glossy flare
It subtracts buffed dmg from buffs you receive but adds dmg from buffs your provide.

"pDPS alone is good enough" 🤔
vapid veldt
the truth is that there is no perfect metric for individual performance
manic schooner
do dmg bufs from the same class stack?
vapid veldt
usually not
manic schooner
hmm say brotherhood x3 from 3 monks
remote lintel
don't think so
wispy parcel
Doesnt stack
manic schooner
i see.. so its better to mix the classes huh
vapid veldt
duplicate jobs are rarely beneficial

crimson wind
saying rdps doesn't matter is stupid
fierce helm
How much does difference in gear matter compared to difference in player skill also?
remote lintel
a decent amount
halcyon glen
A good 480 player is gonna outdamage a bad 500
remote lintel
better gear helps you kill it faster and makes the fight more forgiving
crimson wind
if your dancer dance partners you and the DNC does incredible PDPS but trash rdps, you need to get better.
RDPS is a good metric.
fierce helm
The same player in 480 vs 500 gear does more or less than 5% difference?
vapid veldt
RDPS is a good metric.
it's useful in the case for diagnosing an issue with the dance partner, but it isn't a good metric for judging the dnc's skill
which would be what people use it for (wrongly)
vapid veldt
adps can get padded by having a buff comp, rdps doesn't take into account playing into buffs
which in the case of drk, for example, is what optimization pretty much revolves around

Shiva Unreal can’t be outgeared

Seat of Sacrifice I like as an example Extreme because the mechanics are all very standard things (in, out, spread, stack on the healers, etc.) just thrown at you over and over again in different random combinations, so it's good practice for just getting the basics down

whats the best way to get gil
little swift
Unreal is super lenient
Play the msq first
Do maps and crafting after
Or play the marketboard
remote lintel
best ways to get gil are at lvl 80
open rivet
housing items do make quite a bit of gil
remote lintel
there arent many ways you can get gil at lower lvls
halcyon glen
and zero of them you can do on the free trial besides, like, roulettes

Also kinda pointless to try, due to being unable to really spend Gil on the trial

lol when you 5dps is when you know people aren't doing dps :)
little swift
54k dps is very low for a requirement in unreal
faint flare
And you cant use dlc for a game you dont own
little swift
You need several deaths to not reach that
buoyant copper
I didnt know if they made it so that the base game was free now and that you only had to buy the expansions going forward.
That'd be really cool if they did that.
faint flare
Very important distinction
silk summit
It just so happens that the free trial is the entire first two parts of the game minus some social aspects
tidal yarrow
Yeah 54k is literally half of E5S dps check
isn't shiva unreal 430 ilv tho
crimson wind
yes and?

blm new to raiding here, when do i want to use a thunder procc, and when and why do i skip blizz4

Read here
buoyant copper
You dont skip Blizzard 4, unless you already have the umbral hearts right? o-o
but yeah
tidal yarrow
yes and?
and the dps you will do will be drastically lower then
faint flare
If you have high SpS you can do a opener without B4
crimson wind
Dps do like 10k dps each for the average player lmao
faint flare
To catch Despair under buffs
tidal yarrow
than on 500ilv content
crimson wind
that's already 40k
cover the rest of the dps with 14k+ from tanks and healers combined
it's not hard
just be good at your job lmao
tacit atlas
Weren't people doing around 10k on SB already?
little swift
High end of 8 or 9k
crimson wind
SB? Like 8k-9k on top BLMs
tidal yarrow
nobody's saying it's hard
fierce helm
Regardless remember originally I just said SOS is more lenient
little swift
With good buffs and padding
crimson wind
It is more lenient, yes
fierce helm
Just has more random stuff for the fun
tidal yarrow
sos ex was fun like the first 5 clears
but then it became frustrating, as melee it sucks
magic wren
How do I make it so I have no head gear visibly showing but the stats of the head gear are active?
tidal yarrow
question: if i am dead while debuffs are given to people in e8s (blue and red debuffs), and I'm ressed after it so one person will be without a debuff, how should we resolve the mechanic?
anyone knows this btw
queen flame
Are all of the ixal quests crafting?
tacit atlas
Some are gathering
little swift
Character menu hide headgear
tacit atlas
But like, 4 if them
little swift
There are gathering portions
tidal yarrow
How do I make it so I have no head gear visibly showing but the stats of the head gear are active?
press C and then one of the symbols on the bottom
little swift
But largely crafting

Does a potion have the same use time as an OGCD?
I'm having trouble weaving a potion without clipping
little swift
It clips a bit harder
remote lintel
potions take a while to use

As AST I try to use it with Combust if possible right?
If I can't I just weave it between Mal?

patent citrus
what potion do people use as lv 80?
ripe hound
Grade 3 Tincture
ripe hound
You don't need to use potions yet until Savage and above though
Maybe Extreme if you like to use potions
little swift
grade 3 tinctures are master crafts
ripe hound
Yeah, it's basically used as a "Increase DPS for next 30 sec" oGCD
little swift
not bought from npcs

like just in case healer dies hehe

How do I unlock Madhura the Ananta that sells fake nails?

If you need health potion just get whatever you can I guess

claws of the beast are the next closest thing

There’s two, one from the gold saucer and another from the ananta beast tribe

Is there anywhere I can get a quick recap of the dragon politics stuff in ARR? I did it all at like 2am and I hear I need to remember some of it heavensward.
The stuff in coerthas I mean
onyx kiln
you can re watch old cutscenes in any inn, should also be able to read up on old quest logs in the quest log
onyx kiln
the rest you get to learn in HW
remote lintel
and their leader is eggnog nidhogg

you can re watch old cutscenes in any inn, should also be able to read up on old quest logs in the quest log
@onyx kiln i didn't know about the inn thing, thanks!

You unlock that one by working on the donation thing

was there way to make /countdown tick individual seconds above 5?

not sure if this can relieve, but the discounted mgp items in gold saucer also has JP outfit

I don't believe so

Sometimes as a healer I often get tethered by a dragoon, does anything happen if I break it?
remote lintel
your buff goes away
tacit atlas

open rivet
Do I need to reach PotD Floor 50 to unlock the Potshards,
or can I randomly find them before that?
I only seem to get potions / phoenix downs / mimics.
mossy tartan
What about the dragoon? Does he lose anything?
silk summit
No, as long as you don't die
mossy tartan
Okay, thank you
tacit atlas
Usually dragoons have macros where they give the eye to the closest person
jade lava
maybe a dumb question, but is an era a length of time or is it defined by an event? at the end of ARR they say that the 7th umbral era comes to a close so i was just curious
onyx kiln
any discord chat where i can ask around for players to join certain instances (raids, dungeons etc)?
wintry chasm
Event
tacit atlas
Which is why you are being tethered
vast crown
far eastern smock is gender locked though
silk summit
Yeah dragon sight is rough to use
jade lava
so the event in ARR is the war with the empire and the ascians?
or well the ending of it
wintry chasm
Basically to sum up eras. Astral eras are periods of prosperity and growth. They get ended by a calamity and after that calamity is the Umbral era which are usually wayyyy shorter than astral eras and it's basically the whole rebuilding stagnation of civilization
jade lava
so what marks the end of an umbral era?
lost grove
Why is it taking so long for 2 fantasia to come thru cuz I already paid for them?
wintry chasm
The 7th umbral era was caused by the calamity caused by Bahamut being released by the empire who then devestated the continent
patent citrus
@onyx kiln #reddit-recruitment-feed ?

Why is it taking so long for 2 fantasia to come thru cuz I already paid for them?

The only time I've seen it take 18 hours was back when they were giving thousands of people the old veteran rewards when they changed the system up back in the day
Just make sure your mailbox isn't full and it'll come eventually

can't write in that chat @patent citrus as far as i see
gusty storm
If you deployment tactics a crit adlo do you give crit shields to everyone

So if you crit aldo
And deployment tactics
It'll give the galvanise shield to the rest of the party
Not the catalyze part
gusty storm
unlucky
slate arrow
It's still chunky compared to succor
wintry chasm

faint flare
Deploy used to spread the crit part and it was VERY overpowered
It basically deleted mechanics
slate arrow
Pre-pull Critlo+Tactics make for chunky migitation for early raidwides
remote lintel
i avoid scholar
gusty storm
It seems interesting
patent citrus
i'm still confused, adlo -> emergency (galvanize converted to chunk of hp) -> deployment will do nothing?
slate arrow
yes
faint flare
The emergency will do nothing
patent citrus
eh?
faint flare
Cause you use it prior to casting adlo
slate arrow
emergency is for before you cast adlo
past lantern
umm database doesnt say where this outfit or hairstyle(some type of ponytail) is from
remote lintel
it comes with viera

not sure if even available

its the default viera outfit

you buy it from the default armor vendor in every town

can only be worn by viera

the only thing you cant get is her ears

the only thing you cant get is her ears
Pretty sure the hair too. There is a similar one I know but I don't think it's exactly the same
Also yeah her ears are custom
Because Fran gotta Fran

What about those things?
faint flare
Trade in eulmore for 450 gear
faint flare
No
faint flare
Thats from Savage, which drops coffers with the gear directly
wintry chasm
Yeah savage and normal have two different methods of loot
lethal cape
What about Nier raids? Why do people recommend those?
faint flare
It drops good gear and gives you the token to upgrade Tome gear without doing savage
lost grove
Should I do those once I'm 80?
lethal cape
And what about Puppets' Bunker? What's this about?
faint flare
Second nier raid
Same thing
Drops 490 gear weekly and a coin weekly to be used with the coin from copied factory to get thr upgrade items for allegory gear
lethal cape
Should I do those once I'm 80?
Finish all MSQ and open up the 2 Shadowbringers raids, Nier and Eden
That's what I did at least, those 2 give good gear for your class and some tomes that you use to buy gear
lost grove
Uhhh is eden hard for new ppl?
lethal cape
patent citrus
you can do it
remote lintel
normal eden?
lethal cape
Uhhh is eden hard for new ppl?
I'm new myself and I was able to do Eden
I still haven't unlocked Savage however (Savage = Hard mode for the normal raid)
lost grove
Lol
tacit atlas
Saying "hard mode" is kind of uhh
lethal cape
That's how we called it in Aion 😅
glossy flare
kind of misleading since there are actual "hard mode" versions of certain instances
lost grove
I never did raids in any other mmo I played that's why I asked
faint flare
Normal modes are easily doable blind

they just dropped that after SB

Just pay attention and dont stand in bad

Eden raids are so easy that if you're a healer you will probably never have to use a GCD heal

Oh, I see

is there much difference between Chaos and Light datacenters for EU?
faint flare
No
gentle grail
Which one is more recommended for English more?
faint flare
Both
They're both largely primarily English
Moogle is more french, Shiva is more german for servers specifically but otherwise they're all English
gentle grail
Ah I see, im on Light (Lich) right now wondering if I should go to Chaos or not
There is no cross play between Data-centers right?
gentle grail
Ah I see
gentle grail
Oh yeah, sorry
wintry chasm
both chaos and light is in EU datacenter
@patent citrus Um
tacit atlas
Not with other data centers you can't
gentle grail
Wait, it got me confused so I wont be able to play with a friend who is in Moogle right?
tacit atlas
Nope
gentle grail
Ahh alright
tacit atlas
Also what do you mean "can't be in the same FC"?
Not sure what you are referring to there
wintry chasm
You can't join FCs on different servers
tacit atlas
Oh that
tacit atlas
True
wintry chasm
¯_(ツ)_/¯
gentle grail
Ah so it is a choice if I want to move to Moogle or not I guess which will move me to Chaos
🤔 hmmmm
remote lintel
moogle is the french server iirc
remote lintel
yea
gentle grail
Is that good or bad? Didnt have much experience with any french or german players been ages since I played xD
Also holy fuck the download speed is capped or something
wintry chasm
Frankly I've never been to Moogle to see how prevalent the French is
remote lintel
it means theres a lot of french players there
tacit atlas
It sure will be harder to communicate with people
patent citrus
oh right sorry, i got mixed up
wintry chasm
But yeah potentially you'll be matched with a statistically higher amount of French people
so fun
We all know French people are toxic /s jk
patent citrus
data center = EU , server = chaos/light, world = lich/moggle?
