there's no daily/weekly limit on either of those
Raid drops?
the only weekly limits are on raids
the only content with weekly drops are raids
hi, how do you get the countdown timer to show on act? mine vanished. I used to have a countdown clock now it's gone 😦
what's a "company workshop"?
Workshop setup inside a FC owned House
so you gotta have an fc house to have access to it?
does leveling roulette, give the same XP as 50/60/70 dungeons?
no leveling gives a lot more
Leveling roulette give more
Btw, yes, Yuuko
For exp, you go for leveling, msq, or alliance
Have yall used ur free fantasia
even not free ones lol
nope
Trial and Raid give OK exp, but they goes by fast enough
Which race deal more damage
still lingering in my chocobo saddle 🤦♂️
@kind eagle not a thing
Pick race based on your aesthetics preference
I've used too much fantasia
Lol
Each race has their race unique starting gear, which can't be used by other race
Then some fashion gears are gender locked
Finally, many head gear doesn't display on Viera and Hothgar
is it possible to change my character later in the game? Like changing hairstyle, tattoo etc
hothgar is the tiger?
Hey guys, when i typed "/countdown 20" there used to be a clock counting down on the act parser D; now it's gone, would anyone happen to know how to fix that
yes @leaden ginkgo
@tidal yarrow yes
and yes halwen with the aesthetichan
thanks, took me forever to make my character because I couldn't decide which hairstyle to get
it's basically free and you get infinite possible changes
thank god haha
50-60-70 routtele gives less EXP than just running a normal dungeon?
Level 50/60/70 dungeon themselves give less exp too
I see, thanks
Lvl 47, 59, and 69 dungeons give more exp
Compared to 50, 60, 70 dungeons respectively
cool to know. I guess I will run them once for the sake of "been there done that" then
are all 50-60-70 item-sync dungeons?
They all are
what type of adds there is on add phase? electric, earthen and?
what do you mean what type
Add phase of which fight?
aqueous
what about trial routtlte?
trial roulette is fine
It give okay exp, not as good as leveling, msq, or alliance
trials/leveling/ally raid/msq are the ones that are worth it timewise
But trial/raid go by fast enough
the aoes are 4 and each one spawns a tether?
yea
still during that
and add spawns are slightly different
iirc left side spawns 2 earthen and right only has 1
not the first time I don't grab my tether, it's hard to keep track of how many aoes have passed
oh yeah I noticed, on one side there seemed to be more electrics
it cost $10, are you rich?
what
the fantasia thing "You used too much fanstasia" but maybe replying to an old message
over the course of almost a year i've been playing yes
... I need grocery money ;-;
maybe it is cheaper to just make another character and buy story-skip XD
but then you don't have all your stuff
do you get married in south shroud?
no, the chapel is in east shroud

question are there level 80 mobs so I can level my chocobo faster or only 79?
does BLU without going into a dungeon have enough skills for smooth leveling?
Just 79 for the most part
@plain python for the most part, yeah. A lot of their damage skills are pretty similar to each other, mostly just varying in how it hits the enemy and element
!action glower
Deals lightning damage to all enemies in a straight line before you with a potency of 220 for the first enemy, and 50% less for all remaining enemies.
Additional Effect: Paralysis
Duration: 6s
Perhaps best known as the unsettling hallmark of the cyclops, Glower involves funneling aether through the eyes as if they were arcane circles─much like its sister spell, The Look. Its highly concentrated aether strikes foes like a levinbolt, leaving their skin singed and muscles seizing.
Coincounter / The Aurum Vale
Type: Magic
Aspect: Lightning
Rank: 4
!action electrogenesis
Deals lightning damage to target and all enemies nearby it with a potency of 220 for the first enemy, and 50% less for all remaining enemies.
This efficacious technique is, in nature, employed by the voracious sea serpent, which will spit a bubble of water that takes on the electric charge of the serpent's own scales─giving the creature's prey a rather nasty shock upon impact.
Conodont / Sea of Clouds (26, 33)
Type: Magic
Aspect: Lightning
Rank: 2
Two different skills for example. Both are lightning and 220 potency aoes, but one is a line AoE and the other is a circle on the target
So pretty much find a 220 potency skill you like to spam and that’s basically your leveling rotation without dungeon/duty spells
Stuffed highland cabbage in most cases for non-blm
Stuffed highland cabbage or herring pie are popular ones
I see thanks ❤️
Herring Pie is the one with Spell Speed IIRC so BLM sometimes uses that
Yah
So...how much can I make Glare hit for in Bozja?
Had Broils hitting for 70k-80k
wondering how much higher I can get with Glare
Profane + Font + Noble Ends
Should specify they were crits
Dynamis Dice for +30%, magic-weak enemy for another 30%
And if it exists, magic-weak undead enemy for another 30% (Banish 3)
Throw in party buffs and other padding like Dancer and I don’t doubt you being able to hit 100k or higher
It’s a nice filler GCD for movement if you don’t like refreshing your dot constantly
For not-scholar
for the for want of a memory quest
do i need to farm as the class i want to use the memory for
no, just need the quest active+relic in inv

Kobold Missionary’s are in Outer La Noscea, not Western.
tell
Damnit garland tools
They are in a super specific space
It says outer for me
i am doing grand company hunt
but I assume this is the hunting log which specifically says "Eastern"
It says outer for me
actually no they aren't even in outer. They are just quest mobs in one outer la noscea sidequest apparently
Anyway Coconut I trust you found them now with the coordinates?

Do you upgrade "ornate" items to make it dyeable or is it drops
how do I restore skills deleted from my pvp hotbar?
Thanks
for e7s
i moved my camera and walk
but the arrow didnt move
its still aiming at the back
you get a debuff saying which way the arrow is going to point, you need to orient your character in accordance to that debuff
like?
uhhh lemme find a screenshot
can you see how in that screenshot, some have forward arrows, left arrows, etc?
if you have left arrows, your teleporter will point left
if you have forward, ahead of you
you need to orient your character in accordance with that
face my charecter at that direction?
no
it will come out of your characters body in that direction
you cannot change the direction
so if it is a left debuff, it will always point left, so let me draw something
you face away from the boss, or whatever direction is needed
i move my camera to left and walked forward
but then line didnt move
its still aiming back
thewn ow
lets say you need to go to the right, but it faces left
if you turn your character around, then your teleporter is still facing left, but it is now going to the opposite direction
well, it rotates with the way your character is facing
so if you turn around, the teleporter will go the opposite direction
The line does not always move you forward
It can potentially be any cardinal direction
hey friends, so im by Enna the level 70 gear person, but she doesont sell 400 weapons
is there another vendor or am I just blind and enna does sell them
Does temperance increase the healing effect of Asylum? When used before it, of course
Anyone know what the middle hairstyle is called and how to get it?
@mossy tartan Yes
It's a snapshot, just fyi
If you have 1 sec left on temperance for example and use asylum in that second
Asylum will still receive the 20% potency increase for its full duration
actually no
temperance increases healing magic potency
which means strictly GCD heals
ironically, asylum increases healing actions effects
so tetra for example will be buffed by asylum but not temperance
are gazelle maps soloable?
by using third eye
@leaden ginkgo no
what's third eye
maybe possible but it's not truly viable
some of the mobs and tank busters hit hard
ahhh that one alright ty
tbh it's not a super useful skill and neither are the two skills you can use under eyes open
But it's nice to have still
yeah I dont see a reason to use Seigan
seigan is a dps gain
when Shinten does more damage
you can use third eye for raidwides
and then get out the dmg skill
Not a super high dmg gain but hey... dmg is dmg
i'm stealing this from balance
ohh yeah it mitigates damage
and you only get third eye when being hit
seigan is slight dps gain over shinten basically, but not by much
Anyone using XIVLauncher here? Ever since the hotfix, the plugin that allows mouseover actions disappeared from the plugins list. What happened?

why are the names of some of my squadron members red or blue?
Male Female?
I see
Last person looks a little like a Femroe though, but idk
That's my guess, fits all the other members
Thats a miqo dude
are there rare squadron members?

or can two of the same jobs have the same stats?
So my friend bought the stormblood skip to get the flight zone etc but already completed the game without it, and cant use that book. did he still get the flight zones or?
This item cannot be used if you have already completed the Stormblood main scenario quest "A Requiem for Heroes."
Hi. Am new to this server. Where do I go for LFG purposes?
@finite socket Sounds like your friend just didn't read the information properly. There's no way to use that item if you've completed A Requiem for Heroes.
So I'm going to say no, they can't get the flight zones.

I'm new to this and not sure what I'm doing wrong, but I can't seem to plant some seeds in my garden, it asks for the soil which I choose, and then it won't let me select the seeds in my inventory, anybody know why?
So I'm going to say no, they can't get the flight zones.
not like it takes any time at all to get them

what seed just to be sure
What’s se10?

oldrose
btw what are some good soulstone choices for crafters, bsm, leatherworker and weaver? i mean just in general
are they for indoor pots only?
but what is sound effect 10? @@
are they for indoor pots only?
Yeah pretty sure oldrose seeds are for planters specifically, like actual flowerpots
but when people type that in raids, does that mean i should do sth?

@wintry chasm I see, thanks
but what is sound effect 10? @@
https://youtu.be/EPhAS5sTXeY
This is a complete list of the sound effects you can use in /echo, the /party - and the /alliance chat of Final Fantasy XIV - A Realm Reborn.
It's basically the same principle as with the "call" sound effects in FFXI and also works in user macros of course.
These are also the ...
Sound effects are usually used to get peoples attention
They might type "Get Behind <se.5>" or something
btw what are some good soulstone choices for crafters, bsm, leatherworker and weaver? i mean just in general
I wouldn't sweat it since you can swap 3 times a week
Not used much outside of raid content though
anybody's game is crashing as mine ? i launch the game and after 10 minutes or so the game crashes and tells me that its directx error so i tried reinstalling my gpu drivers and problem still goes on
do you have garden privileges? its your land right?
"change" PF?
yes
change what about it?
PF is cross world
you'd have to switch data centers for different listings
Though you can specifically use the "world" tab to only search for listings from your world
But I see absolutely no reason to do that
so kujata and tonberry has the same PF list?
Yes
i thought tonberry have more people doing savage
The only reason this could be true is simply because Tonberry is the biggest server on that data center.
Since that was the first unofficial English Japanese server
but then the party finder list on savage would still be the same?
I'm not sure about Tonberry but afaik japanese people actually use duty finder even for savage content
So party finder might be a bit emptier
oh
It's just a different culture, they actually do put in the work to learn the fights on their own and everyone really does watch guides and stuff
(what a world, I'm jealous)
Yes, Shadowbringers
The most recent trial actually
So to get there you need to complete the 5.3 story (or almost complete it)
Again, PF is cross world
If you are on any of the Elemental servers the PF listings will be the same
But if you really wanna see for yourself you can use world visit at any aetheryte of the 3 main cities
aight ty
Reminder to tag spoilers in this chat
Is 5.3 still considered spoilery for that sort of thing?
How would I best go about farming stellar clusters for lvl 8 materia?
I do have a tank and get some from roulettes but are there other ways?
You can buy them for the wondrous tails cetificates too (though them being random makes it rather unreliable)
Or by doing A or S rank hunts in Shadowbringers
OhIsee
But I wouldn't rush it tbh
Eventually you'll swim in clusters
Like right now I have about 80 clusters in my inventory I think and no real reason to use them
@glossy flare spoilers from any point in the game are considered spoilers, even from early ARR. This is a new player chat.
fair enough
But that also applies server-wide, with the exception of #archived-lore-spoilers
because we always have large numbers of new players in the community.

was kefka a savage fight?
kefka is part of the omega raid series, so it has a savage version yes
oh its optional?
Yup
it drops the usual extreme trial stuff
fancy weapons, mount
the SB doggo mounts are pretty cool
Yeah I really recommend doing the Auspices stuff
The fights are pretty cool even if you never intend to go for any loot
i might go for it
is suzaku normal in solo doable if unsynced?
cause I don't think duty finder works for it? maybe yes idk
makes sense
but df should work, just long queue times
it's part of trial roulette though
so around reset time it might be better
yeah
i kinda wanna try it solo ngl lol
many fights are easier than they seem honestly. i remember doing last boss from heroes gauntlets without the tank
so if suzakus doesn't have tankbusters like that one might be doable :3
what's the command to take a picture?
/gpose

can squadron chemistry stack with itself?
for example, a mastery is triggered when a marauder is present, but the squadron member that has that mastery is a marauder itself

You can use the stone sky sea dummies to reset cooldowns to learn openers that way
But otherwise not really any tools
So I got an MMO mouse
how's whm in terms of mobility?
when i try to assign my keybinds
compared to the other 2 healer
the game doesn't recognize the buttons in the mouse
is whm the blm of healer? 😂
Which mouse? @cedar compass
Which mouse? @cedar compass
@leaden ginkgo Corsair Scimitar Elite
Are you assigning the num pad keys by mistake?
weird, i'm using my 7 years logitech g300 working fine 😂
All I can think of
running what?
The program that comes with it

By default the mmo mouse keys should be assigned 1 to =
But if you rebinded your hotkeys in game it might be smart to use the external proprietary software to have those keys be assigned to the mouse in the way you find comfortable
How much is a cheap mmo mouse?
Is it normal that the LV45 Base Class quests only give you 4 pieces of the class equipement? I've seen this happen to Dragoon (Not getting Top or Bottom), now the same for Black Mage
Doesnt make much sense when the database shows that the Lv45 Top exists...
@verbal rune really if u dont mind off brand
Ty anyway
like i said, its given to you in the lvl 50 job quest
and no, the chest piece is actually lvl50, not 45 like the rest of the gear
anyone on primel able to help me clear a dungean for a gear a bunch of times to return for seals

Are there any gloves that cut like sleeves from shirts? I have hard time finding any. Help in that regard would be greatly appreciated
If I use the Fantasia potion you get after the lvl 50 quest, and I enter the edit thingy, can I leave it without saving and return to it later? if I don't accept any changes?
Or do I have to use it once I've entered?
yes, you can do that. the fantasia will only be consumed completely when you approve of the edit changes
Alright thank you! ❤️
it says "remove all gear and log out to the character creation screen"
does that mean I HAVE to or?
I was kinda hoping I could be wearing the cosmetics while editing
how to stop camera from turning when auto-run?
@fiery falcon
Yes, the reason they ask you to is because there exist gender exclusive and race exclusive gear, so if you change gender or race your character would have gear equipped they coudn't equip if you didn't need to. (Causing character appearance corruption.)
@rich bay Ahh that makes sense.. So is it safe to keep on if I'm just changing from female moon miqo'te to female sun miqo'te?
ahh okay okay, thanks!
you can also save a character appearance through character creation if you need time to decide
The game will force you to do it.
Hey, so I'm currently lvl73 with Augmented Scaevan gear set, but I always hear that some raids need gear at lvl 450 minimum or whatever for example, is there anything that people would recommend me trying to get now for later on? I don't wanna postpone things to when I finish all my msq and then having to farm a lot. If I can start now that'd be nice.
@fiery falcon
The benchmark also has the same character cration system, but you can actually change the gear in that benchmark. (The choices are limited, but they are there, mostly job specific gear.)
Maybe that is also something for you.
The game will pickup character appearance data from the benchmark if it detects it.
Guys i did a fate but didn't get the crystal for anima weapons... why tho?
@alpine heath
You can't get higher then i430 gear for tomestones before you finish the base shadowbringers story, unless you buy i480 gear on the marketboard for gil.
@finite trout
It is not a 100% drop sadly.
But is there anything that I can do as of now for farming better gear
not really, unless you start buying the i480 gear whenever it's cheaper on marketboard
Or do I just wait till I can get the lvl430 gear with tomestones and then buy 480 on mb
I see
Thanks!
@alpine heath
The i430 gear is actually the AF4 gear, you get that for free in the last ShB area from the smith there after completing the last L79 MSQ. (You do need to talk to him again to get it, many players don't read and miss the free gear.)
Yes, better wait until you get that i430 gear, the MSQ eventually gives out white HQ i418 L78 gear.
And then I'll get lvl480 from mb and if I want any higher i'll just have to farm raids right?
I say raids but i don't actually know if its raids or trials that give higher gear lol
You can get weekly i490 gear from the 24-man and use tomes for other i490 gear, you can upgrade the tome i490 gear to i500 with 24-man Coins or Savage tokens. (You can also hunt ShB elite marks.)
The current EX trial gives i495 weapons.
But they all require you to be far in the ShB MSQ.
I see, thanks a lot!
The i480 gear is the highest crafted gear, you can upgrade that too to i490 with tomestones.
Crafted in the next patch will be i510
How do I get a mount? I'm lvl 30
!faq mounts
'When can I get my first mount?'
The quest that allows you to use mounts, 'My Little Chocobo' is unlocked by completing the level 20 main story quest 'The Company You Keep'. The quest is located at the Grand Company base you chose and you'll need to buy the Chocobo Issuance from your Grand Company Quartermaster. You can get the 200 needed Grand Company seals by doing the main story quest that comes after 'The Company You Keep'.
'Are there any differences between mounts?'
Besides looks, all mounts are the same speed along with being able to fly. Some mounts allow multiple people to ride at once.
'Can I make my mount faster?'
Zones have one or two ranks of mount speed that increase the ground speed of mounts. The first rank comes from completing specific quests in the main scenario quests, with the second rank coming from Riding Maps which are bought with either Allied Seals, Centurio Seals, or Bicolor Gemstones. Mount Speed Boosts do not increase the flying speed of mounts.
How much is the % to get the crystal for anima weapons?
@hot eagle oh ok thanks 😄
I see thanks 🙂
I want to get into FF14 on Ps4 and I'm also into buying physical editions of games. If I want to start from scratch as a new user, what copy of the game should I buy, and is there any reason I can't buy a used copy of a game disc?
You will have to register a license to your personal account so buying a used copy will most likely mean the code you need to register was already used by whoever originally bought it
Also there is no need to buy the game immediately, you can play the free trial for now. It has no time limit and includes all content up to lvl 60 (that means the base game and the first expansion) but comes with certain restrictions, mostly social ones like not being able to create parties.
I want to get into FF14 on Ps4 and I'm also into buying physical editions of games. If I want to start from scratch as a new user, what copy of the game should I buy, and is there any reason I can't buy a used copy of a game disc?
@cold meadow you can also find physical copies of the game pretty cheap with all dlcs
If you then decide to buy the game look for the starter edition (that also includes the base game + Heavensward) and buy Shadowbringers on top of it (which includes Stormblood and, obviously, Shadowbringers)
That's all the addons
On ps4 there is straight the complete edition too
so there's no point in buying ARR at this point?
interesting, maybe I'll look for the complete edition
Oh yeah, complete edition is obviously... complete
But no, ARR only would be a waste of money
it's an old product basically
they have a wiki on the official site about this, but it's oriented toward the pc version

Either way, go to the psn store and download the free trial for now
If you want to access to ShB and SB you have to eventually buy ARR and HS too, but you can play and keep the free trial until you beat it
It has the same amount of content as the starter edition just with some restrictions. But it has absolutely no time limit
you still need the starter edition to make use of expansion codes
Or just buy the complete edition if you are sure that you want it all
@verbal rune I figure with complete I wont need to buy ARR
nope
Nope.
As the name says, it's complete
It has everything till ShB.
correct, complete edition has everything in it
cool cool
anyone have any tips on the best keyboard, or does ps4 play well with most
well, unless you find one or the other on sale
buying starter edition + shadowbringers or complete will come to basically the same cost
playing with a controller is totally viable, I know some people who prefer it
well get lightweight and wireless one i would suggest 😂
since starter edition is 20, shadowbringers is 40 and complete is 60
so you can just toss around when you want to type/chat
In fact the game is cross play anyway so keyboard and controller players mix all the time
I was going to get a keyboard just for typing, thats how I played phantasy star online
Is there a requirement for class quests?
Level and story progression, yes
Can't do your Stormblood class quests before starting Stormblood for example
Is it smart to change jobs every new expansion? Or should one keep the same job until the end of ShB?
hmm it's up to you, if you are bored with 1 class you can change to another class
but would recommend dps class for doing msq
and prepare healer/tank for dungeon queue
ideally, by the time you finish stormblood
you should have 1 tank, 1 healer, 1 magic dps and 1 physical dps lv 70
Nice
i have a question
2 macros, want to cast one after the other
will this kind of macro hinder the fluidity when i try cast them?
Macros don't queue
Why do you want to macro that anyway?
Its going to be delayed
That looks like you want to use emergency tactics into adlo
Don't use macros for gcds
Is there a 1 month game time card?
it is outright slower to use repeated GCDs with a macro, dont do it
im pretty sure there's only 60 day time cards
not sure which SE store you are using
@patent citrus US, all I can found is 60 days game time card but it’s possible when using a credit card which is not an option
I wanna try to enlarge the UI and such and see if I can read/see it from my far TV
hello guys: I'm confused about where to get the correct regional folklore trade token from the Eulmore scrip counter. Apparently I have the wrong tokens, this doesn't make much sense to me.
I don’t want to spend for 2 months and some UI looks horrible or unreadable even after enlarging it
yeah, you can adjust the size
Yep, ik. I’m just worried that it’ll look weird or hard to manage all the enlarged UI
That’s why I wanna look for a 30 days subs first 🤣
well game time isn't the only way to pay
i pay sub normally per month
from mogstation
entry level subscription
i think the game time card only have standard level subscription and you must buy 60 days minimum
Yeah, I don’t have credit card
what vielen is saying
oh hmm
so unfortunately you'll have to pay for 60 days at the 30 day standard rate
no ifs, ands, or buts.
PayPal for crysta is another alternativd
That’s out of option too
If they don't have a card it's likely they don't have a PayPal either
Why can't I reduce this item? What am I missing? Just unlocked this feature but can't get it to work

I get why you'd macro that so you don't accidentally shirk the wrong person
but at the same time kinda lazy
Which melee job is easy to play that does not require good ping or very good positional coordination?
dragoon
drg/sam probably 😂
Doesnt Dragoon have the, uhmm left/right and back attack?
all melee jobs have those
Dragoon is going to be the easiest
I am currently on RDM but I want something melee haha to get some satisfaction of slapping shit instead of waiting for a casting bar xD
It's generally the easiest anyway
NIN has less, but it does require decent ping
Oh well I mentioned ping because I suck haha
SAM is very fast and a lot of people struggle to pick it up sometimes
I do have good ping tho for EU (in EU myself)
MNK is.... A thing, I guess.
Dragoon is fixed in it's positionals and once you got it it's easy to remember
Since the second combo only has a back positional
you can do it, i've seen many aussie player playing ninja
and then the extentions are always flank back or back flank depending on the combo
and they are playing 140+ ms during TEA 😂
Hmm I see, thing is I am just worried in bosses or such I might fuck up if I need to flank or such
it's in your mind
Monk will get some sort of rework in 5.4 btw (though the scope of it is anyone's guess) so if it bothers you that you'd have to change stuff up to some degree you might wanna avoid getting into it now
plus no GCD speed up buffs so it's the slowest melee DPS job in GCD
True north is a thing too
plus no GCD speed up buffs so it's the slowest melee DPS job in GCD
@slate arrow Dragoon?
yes
Ninja is difficult too I assume? With the combos thing and if you fuck up you get the rabbit in your head 😅
If you're worried about positionals, assuming you use no true north or always positional buffs, NIN and Samurai both are about equal in terms of potency/resourse generation
NIN you just have to remember what order of 123 is good
Its all muscle memory
Actually NIN is pretty easy imho, it just has this one fast paced phase every minute
But that becomes muscle memory very quickly
Hmm I see, i am currently on RDM
How does the Duty Finder work if you're queueing for a specific dungeon or raid? Do people queueing for the roulette fill the slots if they have whatever you're queueing for unlocked?
It is pretty easy but kind of getting stale for me watching the cast bar on every single attack
Question for BRDs in Bozja, do you guys still try to dot everything with song up in ""fates""?
How does the Duty Finder work if you're queueing for a specific dungeon or raid? Do people queueing for the roulette fill the slots if they have whatever you're queueing for unlocked?
@plush vault Yup
@plush vault yes more or less
because everything dies so quickly
@stable herald entirely depends on how active or lazy you're feeling
...then do people just not have Ordonne Monastery unlocked at all? I've been trying to queue for it forever as a tank.
@plush vault item level cheese
Apparently people ilvl cheese alliance raids
@slate arrow They die so damned quickly, so i was wondering if it was more worthwhile to just AoE
What is that?
As in purposely lowering their ilvl to only qualify for the crystal tower raids
basically people unequip gear to force Labrynth of the Ancients
How are the aoe options for draggon/nin?
Doesn't mean no people queue for SB raids though, I had Ridorana just yesterday via roulette
But it is indeed rare
@gentle grail nonexistent until 38 and 40 respectively
Yeah it sucks
actually I lied, NIN does have an AoE option at like 35 once you get 2 mudras
go ninja and full naruto man
Just find something else to do while the queue ticks away, nothing else you can do
I've been doing just that for the past 8 hours or so of play time.
where do i get forgotten fragments?
fates inside bozja
ah
FATES, grinding mobs, Castrum, or Star Mobs
Fates are shit for them
Most efficient grinds are pulling Magiteck mobs back to back
since those also grant clusters and other things
whatt, never dropped on me from mob 😂
as well as doing star mobs on cooldown
rip rng
You only do fates for Mettle
but what is fragment of preparation?
how many rooms are in an apartment
One
It lists what actions it can give in the tooltip
i talked to all npcs but none wanna touch it do i have to do the q first?
yes
In the Bozja castrum, how do you co-ordinate all 6 parties? How do you designate which party is which?
you don't :)
And what's the basic strat? Does it differ according to servers?
But, thats the thing, on JP servers, they have a code (?) or something
to say something somthing up, or down
need to LFP when you enter the instance
ideally each group would shout which direction they're taking for the prisoners
for the most part it's only the first and last boss which require a little coordinations and that's deciding who goes on top and on bottom
and you can raise your hand if you want party
theoretically, in the first fight, 3 parties should be on top, 3 on the bottom
right?
@gentle grail nonexistent until 38 and 40 respectively
@slate arrow ah i meant end game haha
it’s very laid back content
Ok, for JP players, there is something 3 numbers
go ninja and full naruto man
@patent citrus 😂
like 1 3 4
whenever they use to ?identify?
does anyone know anything about this?
Does the next NieR tier release on 5.4?
5.5
damn, I'm playing in JP server but doesn't know that code 😂 rip
No this year cause fanfest cancelled
most likely in feb when they do the stream
There's a big event in February thats pretty much for jt
Is it worth buying the boost level for nin so i try it out or bad idea?
hmm I'm not sure
usually i wouldn't recommend boosting
but if you can catch up, why not
Any advise on how to clear the seat of sacrifice even when your party doesn't know the strat ?
I tried to put these weird light pillar to help but idk why they keep dying on the same thing
Assign clock positions and stack groups
maybe you can tell us which skills killed you..
It depends Vielen, sometimes someone doesn't get into the meteor thing, sometimes they all die from the floor light triangle
And overlapped the meteor markers
For sword of light
Look for the edge that isn't being outlined by a sword
What is sword of light ? The thing that put the circle above your head ?
That depend on the blade element ice/fire ?
the double triangle thing
that usually start from the center from north and south of the arena
for the fire, dont move
for the ice, keep moving
I can manage to avoid the double triangle thing but i need to explain what you said to the other mates
The ice fire thing is either ice or fire never both
Thanks for the info Vielen, i didn't know the fire and ice moving thing
First instance of it is combindd with earth which is spread for proteans
Read your debuffs
Pyretic means you take damage for all actions taken
So even auto attacks will kill you
!buff pyretic
Deep freeze freezes you because you weren't moving
Pyretic also damages your from moving and auto attacks
Yep i saw that i was taking damages from moving
I thought it was some kind of burn aliment
@gentle grail if you enjoy it, the learning process won't be as painful as playing the class that you don't enjoy 😂
So if you have to stack inside boss hitbox for imbued coruscance click off him
and it won't be like a chore or you job, you will enjoy playing it
Until debuff is gone
I want to know the story after this fight but for my 2 attempts we got 1 leaver so we couldn't reach LB3 and then people surrender because mates were not good enough
in JP server we usually try 3 attempts, if it doesn't work we just vote abandon
The thing is that i don't understand how they all die because i'm focusing on how to avoid one shot attacks so i can't give them advices on how to avoid it
Hey, sometimes as astro when I play my card on another person it doesn't give the "star" sign or whatever on my job gauge, you know.. the moon, sun and the celestial thing
Is there a reason for that
It depends on what you're dying from
what 1 shot?.. are you a tank?
No i'm a dps
You need to be in combat to get a seal @alpine heath
One shot attacks are Wyrm + Triangle
And even if I'm in combat and dont get a seal is that normal?
ah yeah, just check where is the bahamut
Wyrm shows you where it spawns dont be in that half of the arena
Yes i know that
Not saying that has happened to me but I don't remember if I was indeed in combat or not so just wanna make sure if being in combat is all i need
If you're not getting a seal, then you're not in combat. its as simple as that
And triangle is sword of light so just watch for where the swords trace the outline
Okay, thanks!
I need to watch where it spawn so i got my eyes off the fight
They trace only 3 edges of the arena
Same goes for the triangle on the floor, i can easily avoid dying from this if i focus on it so i can't see why my mates are dying
@gentle grail if you enjoy it, the learning process won't be as painful as playing the class that you don't enjoy 😂
@patent citrus hahaha
i do have dragoon at 70, but im honestly scared im too unskilled to play any other job
it's all in your mind 😂
Btw even when it doesn't kill me i still take hit from the 4 wyrms because people doesn't makes them look at a corner, is it only dps that are focused by these 4 wyrms ?
Depends on your strategy
The bahamuts tether to people
yeah, you need to walk to outer side of the ring
and kite the bahamut to blast nothing
You can have dps take it or healer/tanks take it
Depending on strat during adds will determine who wants to take them
not where your party are standing
So i can take the aiming from an ally ?
During SMN phase, you alternate who takes them
@twilit arch Btw, blue border for melee and pink for ranged right?
it's all in your mind 😂
@patent citrus idk tbh, some peeps used to tell me back when i played RDM that my numbers for dps are trash xD
What is SMN ?
Summoner
Summoner
yep. blue is melee, purple ranged
Okay thanks
When he casts Spector and summons a Summoner
Its a phase in the fight
Which spawns 4 wyrms
Ok i see
@gentle grail do you enjoy reading?
would recommend this doc https://docs.google.com/document/d/1VV7OmelH-CL46MoEV0WP9IEGe2fysylNW1MYDT8_K80/edit
Are the nier raid coins weekly rewards? Do they lift the restriction before patch?
Ye i saw some of them
@twilit arch Are you an astro mentor?
The archer one made me die because i was reading what she was saying then the Wyrm rush one shot me
i wouldn't say i'm an ast mentor, but i do play it regularly
Thanks Tails. The eden savage weekly restrictions are lifted?
Oh okay
Like I'm 99% sure this is normal mode not EX
Yes
Yes i'm still on the story Quote
@storm stone if it fails so many times, i would recommend vote abandon..
clearly party wasn't ready
Well we surrendered 2 times already
I don't want to be stuck on the story i need answers
Normal mode has a lot of ground telegraphs
would you mind looking at this guide https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MLCopmT_6fk&feature=emb_title

The toughest part of normal mode is the active time maneuver
@gentle grail do you enjoy reading?
@patent citrus oh boi.. uhmm 19 pages 😂 i'd rather hear recommendations do you play nin? XD
rip i don't 😂 i play gnb
See like the rotation section is soooo long which scares me off
It's mostly just "press these buttons during trick attack"
how can i know my GCD?
hover over a Weaponskill or Spell
@patent citrus I watched the video and i learnt a bit more but if i'm the only one to do it it will be useless tho
just perfect your gameplay, the other people doesn't matter
if he can't do them he can't do them
It's likely he's already done them today cause I can't think of any other reason why he can't
So i did the eden savage 8 dummy in SSS, had only 3 secs left when duty complete
is that "bad"?
im bard so i think dps is lower
so idk
what item level?
I can't tank the boss if all the tanks and healers dies so even if i'm the most perfect dps i cannot win alone Vielen
485
eh, it's good enough. If you can beat it before time out you do enough DPS to get in
!faq sss
- SSS does not account for a job’s RDPS contribution via skills like Battle Voice
- SSS is a 3 minute burst window where you adjust your rotation to fit in that period and does not reflect a realistic raid scenario
- Different jobs will be in peaks and troughs of their burst windows
- Different jobs have different SSS dps requirements
- SSS is not accurately tuned for the jobs they are supposed to represent in most cases
- 3 minutes is short enough to be able to be affected by lucky DH Crit bursts
- Certain jobs gain dps by having additional party members like Dancer/Monk
Stone sky sea isn't a great tool for measuring if you're good enough for a fight
Great for opener practice though
@cedar compass
Plus 8s has a higher dps requirement compared to the other 3 fights
That really shouldn't happen
Thats a rotational comfort error
Muscle memory that shit
If you're having issues pressing buttons then rebind your buttons
how do i change m character in haunted manor
i have the opener mostly down
@cedar compass then go to a dummy instead and just sustain your rotation for longer periods of time upwards of about 6 ish minutes is nice
@trail mulch speak to teh unsavory imp again

How can you see if something is dyable or not?
can click preview dye, and click on terebinth. its under the grey section
I’ve finally decided to try something other than healer, and I’m in a dilemma choosing between DRK and PLD. What are their differences?
When you dye something you can see it in the dye menu on your character
Ok, got it, thanks

What is the highest reputation I can get with the Namazu before I have to do all SB beast tribes?
8 iirc
So everything but the highest rank?
heyguuys, whats the difference bet. a starred vs (!) icon for TT?
@mossy tartan you should watch a video of both classes and decide based on which one looks cooler
You've beaten the star at least once before
I did. I kind of preferred DRK’s design and story but at the same time PLD’s kit was more appealing
everyone's favorite thing about DRK is TBN
paladin is currently the most popular tank
ohh i see, ok thanks
so make of that what you will
DRK is also at the mercy of their healer when using their invuln
whereas paladin doesn't give a shit
TBN is kind of supportive but you also get it way late
but the CD on PLD invuln is the longest of all the tanks
PLD is also a better soloing class
No TBN for any fight below 70. So you basically spend the most time without TBN during leveling
PLD has clemency but you don't use it under normal conditions
it's just there in case shit really hits the bed
but it's a nice backup in casual content
clemency is a pretty decent healing spell
Clemency is the only gcd heal among tanks, which sacrifices dps
It’s nice when the healer dies
or when soloing
But useless most of the time
DRK has the hardest time during leveling because they have one less defensive cd for the most part, which is also the most important one
GNB also has one less defensive cd at low levels, but they start at lvl 60
Looks like it’s PLD then since I’ll be alone 99% of the time, thank you both for the inputs
yeah clemency gimps pld's dps past 70 but it's a useful tool for emergencies
nope all personal role play choice
race doesn't matter either
nor does your birthday matter
thats all aesthetic
you will get a free fantasia later in the story
nor does your birthday matter
harsh
so you can redecide later if you want
when you're more familiar with the worldbuilding
not here to shitpost cypher thats unimportant
I know, I'm sorry, just wanted to joke :/
Yeah but I heard it's pretty hard and people are quite toxic
this channel is so serious sometimes
So maybe I should play a easy one first
its meant to be a more serious channel we don't want to derail this channel with memes and gifs
idk about people being toxic but it's better you play something you enjoy rather than something that is easy
Xiv is pretty good at being "your first MMO" so anything starts off very simple
all of the basic classes have a low bar of entry
and the game spoonfeeds you stuff little by little
Nah it's not my first mmo
so just pick what is interesting to you
if your heart is set on, say, ninja for example, play ninja
You can change what job you play later anyway
Hi! Is there a web or iPhone app where you can check all the available gear for glamour purposes?
don't play rdm or dnc because people say those classes are easy
Didn't say that, i meant xiv is good at teaching stuff slowly
can't exactly start as ninja but yes
I want to be a edgy dark class lol
All the jobs are reletivly easy imo
dark knight
Well can't start as dark knigth sadly
dark knight, samurai, and ninja are pretty edgy
Some kind of blood mage available?
Rogues are edgy
Which turns to nin
Theres Black Mage but thats about it
And they arent really edgy
Black mage used to have a skill that sacrifices hp for mp. thats about it.
Black mage sounds good
You can change jobs at anytime btw
warrior is also a tank, is kinda edgy, and will get you used to ff14 tanking in the process
So dont worry too much about it rn
well they're more angry than edgy
They still draw power from the void lorewise which is kinda edgy I guess... depends on your bar for that sort of thing
So I can go from mage to warrior?
Thaumaturge is your path to black mage
Yup
Yes
yes you can be every class at the same time
You can have every class on one character
Nice
