Again, that's still a bit on what kind of content you're looking for. If it's like, level 50 EX trials, those can be soloed. But if you're looking at like, level 70 or 80 stuff, you'd either want an FC that has active members, or just run them through the PF @leaden ginkgo

Can you have a small house / room that you can decorate without having to buy a plot of land?
urban bluff
dam this is gunna to be useful
hasty musk
you can buy an apartment if you can't get a house
polar hound
crafted gear is more than enough to get you started
hasty musk
they're significantly cheaper, but also smaller and you can't do certain things, like use outdoors furniture
polar hound
you can purchase a room in your FC estate also.

hello, does ffxiv temporaly disables innactive accounts?
warped nest
They don't
polar hound
nope
hoary lantern
huh...
open coral
If you don't pay for a sub, then your account will become "inactive" until you start paying again, but your account won't become completely inaccessible unless you specifically disable the account yourself.
hoary lantern
well idk what happened with my account, i havent been playing these last 2 months and forgot to cancel the subcription, and wanted to cancel, thing is ive never changed my password, and i know my ID, i though resetting the password maybe would solve the problem, and type my email, and I recevieve the reply saying my email doesnt match any account, but I have old emails from the subcription beeing renewed (and no i didnt changed my email)
open coral
I would suggest contacting customer support.

What are "Dots" to keep up on enemies?
gentle grail
Oh no im checking out SAM and DRG to decide which one to main to change things up, SAM has "to maintain dots"
Which I didnt understand

Yeah, that's Higanbana
twilit arch
sam's dot is higanbana
robust notch
!action Higanbana

sour ruin
250+40x(60/3) damage
gentle grail
Does DRG have one too?
twilit arch
yes
sour ruin
Is a lot of potentecy
twilit arch
Chaos Thrust
oblique trellis
and Higanbana is part of rotation
robust notch
You apply it, it does 250 potency worth of damage, and then 40 potency every 3 seconds. So that's a total of 1050 potency from one skill
(which is a lot)
warped nest
That's before Kaiten buff

I am trying to look into DRG vs SAM rotation and see which I might be more comfortable to be better at since coming back and try out etc.

Oh right
warped nest
It can go up to 1575 potency
At max level, DRG bread and butter combo is looping two 5-step combo
robust notch
Unfortunately DRG doesn't really get their combo until level 60
Or well, 64 I suppose
warped nest
Then you do various Jump attacks to build toward your Life of a Dragon buff, which allows you to use Nastrond, a very good AOE ability (good for both mobs and single bosses)
At Max level, Samurai has 3 combo to do. Finishing each unique combo gives a Unique Sen (think of it as a seal), different amount of seal changes your iaijutsu (Japanese for Draw Attack, rough translation), 1 seal is a dot, 2 seal is an AOE, 3 seal is a single target attack.
gentle grail
ah I see I got both jobs at 70 currently
warped nest
On top of that, you build kenki which can be spent to deal additional damage
gentle grail
so from what ur saying DRG got the simpler rotation and playstyle haha
leaden ginkgo
Uhh i have a question! My friend told me, people have been getting banned in ffxiv (for using mods ~not nsfw~) cause devs found them in social media, and they had their accounts linked to it? Like Instagram accounts, with low and high followers base. I just wanna kno if it's true cause i tried look on reddit and i see nothing about it so im wondering idk. I do belive people would get banned but idk
jade lava
as free trial, is there anywhere i can store items or do i just bin em
robust notch
@leaden ginkgo Any kind of modding isn't allowed, which is why it's not wise to talk about openly
faint flare
No storage outside of your chocobo saddlebag
robust notch
I don't know how true that statement from your friend is, but it wouldn't surprise me too much to be honest
jade lava
how do i access saddlebag?
twilit arch

twilit arch
but there have been some with nsfw mods, that were doing screenshots with certain characters that did
leaden ginkgo
I'm not saying i use mods, we were just having a discussion and i wanna see who's right lol
twilit arch
because those crossed a line
warped nest
In theory, you can get in trouble
leaden ginkgo
Gshader is on whitelist but wb like rescale mods?
warped nest
In practice, you probably won't.
twilit arch
for the most part SE doesn't care, so long as you're not using mods to give yourself an advantage
leaden ginkgo
Anybody know of any way I can find the email i used instead of waiting like 5 days for customer support?
warped nest
(and if you are dumb enough to leave breadcrumb to let people figured out who you are, that's really on you tbh)
leaden ginkgo
oke
scarlet hinge
Are shadows usually glitchy on characters
robust notch
Mods still aren't allowed though, so in the end SQEX are completely in the right to ban you for any kind of modding.
Just don't go shove the mods you're using in peoples faces, and you should be alright.
But there's never a guarantee.
leaden ginkgo
Ye ik there never a guarantee, but he started saying people have been getting banned for using mods in social medial and i wasn't sure so i came here to ask
robust notch
Sounds like speculation to me
Just tell him "Where's the proof of that?" and if he doesn't show anything
Disregard it.
warped nest
Maybe there are a few cases where it did happen
oblique trellis
Where in Ishgard (Foundation) might I find the aesthetician?

hardy gazelle
after neo ishgardian what gear should i go for next
gloomy ice
Neo Ishgardian is good for starting. Crystarium gear, bought with the weekly locked tomestones of Allegory, will be your next goal.
warped nest
Alternatively you can try to do some Eden Savage for i500 gears
Same ilvl as Augmented Crystarium
gloomy ice
We’re relatively close to the next item level increase however so there’s no need to really rush it. 480 is good enough for most things outside of savage raids.
Although it is still a good idea to get your ilvl as high as you can
little swift
its good enough to clear the first 2 floors of savage as well
robust notch
Shouldn't there be a new Allegory set coming out with 5.4?
warped nest
Oh i490 gear from Puppet Bunker, one per week
New capped tomestone
Allegory will drop down to Phantasmagoria's position
robust notch
Ooooh
I see
I joined during 5.2 so I'm quite new to the big gamechanging updates :S
warped nest
You will remember all these eventually
obsidian patio
Phantasmagoria will not be obtainable, and the gear from it will be moved to nuts vendor
fiery vigil
How many yalms is each square on the in game map?
warped nest
You will be able to trade any Phantasma you still own for Allegory, at 4:1 ratio iirc
obsidian patio
@fiery vigil I think like 25 or 30 yalm when I tried rudimentary testing with Aether compass

i heard crystarium is easiest to get for endgame gear?
obsidian patio
Well it’s weekly locked so you can’t get it fast
faint flare
Neo ishgardian is easier if you got gil to buy it

If you want immediate endgame ready gear then you’ll want Neo-Ishgardian and then augment it to i490 with Phantasmagoria

Welp that’s interesting
zinc orbitBOT
leaden ginkgo
I’m gonna be a DOH so is there like a website for crafting macros?
spare plinth
is it just me or there isnt lots of people on
faint flare
Yes there's alot of crafting macros to guarantee HQ
jade quartz
go to #doh-dol-lounge and look at the resources we have there in pins @leaden ginkgo
leaden ginkgo
What’s HQ?
faint flare
High quality
jade quartz
High-quality
leaden ginkgo
O
faint flare
Aka more stats than usual
leaden ginkgo
Which craft should I pursue
faint flare
All
leaden ginkgo
Yay
jade quartz
It's recommended to do all of them for several reasons
faint flare
Crafting and gathering is a all or nothing package
faint flare
They're all connected to each other as tbey request different msts
sweet leaf
blacksmithing is crafting
faint flare
All crafting is the same
leaden ginkgo
O
faint flare
Different jobs makes different items, thats all
jade quartz
Carpenter, blacksmith, armorer, goldsmith, leatherworker, weaver, alchemist and culinarian
are the eight crafting jobs (Disciples of the Hand)
sweet leaf
a lot of them use items the other jobs create, which is why taking all of them is good because otherwise you have to buy mats from other people
radiant summit
I'm at the spot in the zodiac quest where I need to meld materia
where do I start?
I have some alexandrite and some materia
leaden ginkgo
So I saw some stuff about macros but no place to download them
Cuz I don’t want to have to make my own ones
jade quartz
You don't download them
faint flare
You copy and paste them
jade quartz
copypaste text
jade quartz
@radiant summit right-click the Sphere Scroll in your inventory
and select "use" or maybe it was called "infuse"?
anyway, then you can pick the type of materia and infuse it
little swift
@leaden ginkgo or you can look for the pin for "leveling rotations"
radiant summit
should I talk to that guy again?
little swift
and tehre's an excel document for it
jade quartz
uh
do an /isearch sphere scroll
and if it's really nowhere then go talk to Huibartin again yeah
leaden ginkgo
/isearch sphere scroll
radiant summit
that's a cool command, I'll remember that
leaden ginkgo
what are leveling rotations
sweet leaf
alright so now i know where to get master craftsman 3 books, now i just need to figure out how to do collectables.
and i don't even know where to start
faint flare
Second tab of your crafting log
jade quartz
@leaden ginkgo ...the very first pin in #doh-dol-lounge is a level 1-80 crafting rotation guide...
leaden ginkgo
ik
faint flare
Then you scroll down to collectibles
sweet leaf
and so i just need to craft those and submit them for appraisal? and that's it?
faint flare
Yes
You need to bit the minimum collectiblity
By raising quality
You basically do the same thing you do for HQing itemd
jade quartz
Open the folder for one of the rotations and then select Generate Ingame Macro from the sidebar (XIV symbol)
sweet leaf
so the problem becomes where do i find all these items they require that i've never heard of
radiant summit
yeah I got it thanks Jack
sweet leaf
some kinds of items don't show up in gathering log, like this archaeornis skin
faint flare
Skins are mob drops
sweet leaf
yeah i know but i never know which mobs
faint flare
Same with sinews
jade quartz
I don't really recommend ever going and grinding mobs for drops
whole wasp
True answer is the marketboard
jade quartz
Buy them or send a DoW/DoM retainer.
That's the benefit of combat retainers; they gather mob drops for you.
sweet leaf
that's the problem i have with games in this day and age, googling something when the game could have a tab or book to keep track of what mobs you've killed and what they've dropped feels so immersion-breaking
sweet leaf
lol, right
thanks though, i'm starting to get a grasp on collectables, it's all been so confusing
i've just felt walled on my progress for so long
will i want to hold on to my Thyrus even though it's not up to snuff with the rest of my gear?
or should i put it in my glamour dresser...
oh, i can't
that's annoying, because it looks nice but it's just unusable
bright badger
Hey, I have a question for a housing item recommendation
faint flare
You can get a replica of it when you finish the relic up to zodiac for glamour dresser
sweet leaf
when does zodiac happen?
faint flare
The final step
bright badger
I'm theming my space around Shinra HQ from FF7, and I'm looking for long horizontal lights I can line the upper part of my walls with. Does anyone have recommendations on what to use?
sweet leaf
I've completed all i can at gerolt for now, and i've heard of zodiac but i don't know what that is
faint flare
You haven't finished, you need to upgrade your Thyrus up to the next step to continue
sweet leaf
how and when do i do that?
sweet leaf
because he doesn't have anymore quests for me
robust notch
Anyone here decent at Dark Knight?

You need 3 thavrain mists and take it to the forge behind drake

I've currently played DRK up to level 68 with the play style of just using up my ogcds, weaving stuff where I can and keeping my GCD up. I'm doing great dps that way, but a little confused regarding Delirium that I just unlocked.
Do I just use Delirium during the start of the fight when I've used up my mana?
I know it's my burst phase
But I'm guessing I just pop it at low mana during the opener to maximize the MP gain?
little swift
this is your opener at 80
so what happens is without tbn you can fit 3? ish floods/edges
before delirium
and you delirium at about the 5th gcd
oblique trellis
So doing my first WT book.. what are the Second Chance points?
ripe hound
Does ilv 500 random gear and BiS gear have a big difference in performance?
I'm progging e8s now, and I notice I'm doing bad damage as an AST...
little swift
so what you're saying is sorta correct where you burn out some mana with blood weapon up
faint flare
Points to redo stuff or Shuffle lines
oblique trellis
if game explained it I missed it
jade quartz
You spend them to either replay a duty for another seal (if you don't want to do any of the other duties on the list) or to shuffle the positions of all your seals.
You gain more by simply running duties with a new player bonus.
little swift
so don't use delirium quite immediately
robust notch
Ok!
little swift
but the amount of mp gained isn't that gigantic
ripe hound
I can't decide if I want to use my Allegory to finish a BiS set, or work on getting another class to ilv 500 first
oblique trellis
Is there a strategy to using them? Like should I shuffle in hopes of getting a line?
little swift
!faq wondroustails
zinc orbitBOT
faint flare
Shuffle at 7
wheat plume
is world change inmediate, or it takes some hours?
jade quartz
You can no longer shuffle after you get 8 seals
little swift
so shuffling at 7 is recommended to aim for one of the orientations
jade quartz
so if you wanna maximise chances, then shuffle at 7 until you have 2 lines
little swift
7 seals
jade quartz
but getting 3 lines is total RNG.
ripe hound
Also I just use WT Calculator
jade quartz
I've played this game since before Wondrous Tails came out, but I've never gotten 3 lines
it's like winning the lottery.
ripe hound
little swift
in general items at the same ilvl have the same amount of mainstat, so just go for more ilvl when you can akira
ripe hound
If I have green for 1 line or 2 line I usually just keep it
little swift
worry about fitting your bis and melds as you get them
ripe hound
Yeah, like I'm at ilv 500 AST, and ilv 497 GNB
On one hand I kinda want a ilv 500 Tank for emergency use. On the other hand... I'm the static's Healer...
I mean, I think I'm just worried because our WHM is doing around 8.5K damage, and I'm doing 6.5K damage
Like the 2k aDPS gap feels really akward sometimes...
But if I look at parse Percentile, WHM is 30, and I'm 20
But I'm still the lowest percentile in the team.. (cry)
jade quartz
that's a normal adps gap for AST/WHM
ripe hound
Yeah, also does WHM have some bursts in the opener?
Like I notice the gap is even bigger in the opener
Then the gap gradually shrinks as the fight goes on
polar hound
well yes because of assize
zinc orbitBOT
Powered by XIVAPI
little swift
its like a weird burst window
polar hound
pretty strong opener especially if assize crits
ripe hound
Yeah that's some bursts
polar hound
2k dps difference between ast/whm is normal, you make up for it with buffing others..is it rdps or adps idr atm
rdps
ripe hound
yeah
little swift
what you should really be comparing as a gauge would be combined dps
what yours is like in comparison to other healer comps of similar makeup
scarlet hinge
What stats do dragoons want
ripe hound
I mean my group is nice and no one complained about my DPS yet
gentle quarry

Is there any way to display this number in a macro name?

That's the gear set item level
signal rover
eg BLM (*{gearscore}) or something?

and no
signal rover
Okay.
little swift
have you peeked into xivanalysis akira
ripe hound
Probably because we haven't reach enrage yet. Best record is reaching Wings Mirrors.
little swift
that doesn't mean you can't poke it into xivanalysis
ripe hound
Yeah
little swift
to better examine timeline and such
ripe hound
I think my xivanalysis basically says "WHY ARE YOU NOT DRAWING CARDS!?"
little swift
well cards need to come up on time
and be used
those are a big hit to your rdps and your team's overall dps
ripe hound
little swift
whats your gcd uptime like
little swift
ok so your draw's aren't as poor as you were making it out to be
but there's definitely space to get better
5 cards is 1/3rd of your potential dps gains
are you forgetting to dot?
lavish vortex
Hi! What’s the best fastest way to farm for Empyrean Aetherpool Grips?
little swift
or are you refreshing it too early
ripe hound
But yeah, I should definitely worry more about improving skill other than getting BiS right..?
little swift
spam floors 21-30 and consume your aetherpool for grips
jade quartz
You should always strive to improve your skills
little swift
at this point the ast bis doesn't require anything from 8s afaik
ripe hound
Yeah I think DoT is mostly just me forgetting it
ripe hound
Yeah, it's just that I didn't care about BiS Previously, so a lot of stuff is just random
Like I'm using the other ilv 500 pants, because I didn't clear e7s...
ripe hound
Yeah
My static is progging e8s, so I think I might want to just try to clear e7s in PF if I got some spare time
little swift
but for sure the biggest thing i'd go with improving on at the moment is hitting your buttons
that gcd uptime can go way up
ripe hound
Also because of speeding things up, some parts of my gear that should be Allegory is fitted in with Eden gear instead
little swift
and you'll see a huge improvement already
ripe hound
Yeah, is the GCD uptime caused by the long cutscene?
little swift
it shouldn't be
ripe hound
I mean we died immediately after adds
little swift
i'm pretty sure fflogs cuts that out
ripe hound
let me check
I think it's still inside?
There is also this big chunk in the middle where I'm AFK
little swift
those blank spaces are part of downtime
little swift
you can see a lot of gaps
jade quartz
yeah that doesn't look too great
ripe hound
Yeah you guys are right
There are still quite a lot of gaps
Also I think I should talk with my group about this?
remote lintel
you should learn to get into the habit of spamming your malefic

My static is "Add Prog", but we die to LR about 50% of the time I think
LR is around 2 min right?

2:25 iirc
remote lintel
did you beat e6s
ripe hound
Me? Yeah
remote lintel
your static
remote lintel
did they not say what they progged
jade quartz
Judging by that you might have weak links that are consistently failing the mech
ripe hound
Also I think for LR we are having a lot of trouble because we are switching from Ilya to sharingan
jade quartz
Needa identify them and talk to them
ripe hound
So we are learning LR again
dire saffron
yeah it shouldnt be this rocky though
ripe hound
It's around the 2nd night after we switched strats
jade quartz
eh
dire saffron
are you doing some weird uptime strat
little swift
they're doing sharingan
ripe hound
Also I only joined for 2 nights lol
little swift
from what i'm reading
dire saffron
theres uptime sharingan
jade quartz
If you're not succeeding in even passing the mechanic consistently then I wouldn't recommend trying to push for extra uptime stuff.
ripe hound
I mean I think we are having a bit trouble identifying what happened after every LR wipe
I mean it's usually just someone calling out "I messed up", then we continue
little swift
ripe hound
Wait what's this?
jade quartz
but you should talk about how they messed up and how to establish a consistent strategy not to
little swift
you guys are moving too early and dragging orbs through each other

Wait why are the orbs comming in Diagonally?
I thought the orbs spawn on the 4 cardinal directions?
dire saffron
because of movement
err what you should do is
tell your static to stop doing uptime ayatori
little swift
because your party was positioned weirdly
little swift
so the orb thats tethered isn't in the right place
dire saffron
youre failing at doing uptime and youre only gonna waste more time
little swift
its in a cardinal to start but you're not in the right set up location
dire saffron
and you dont gain anything either because some people arent taking advantage of it
theyre scared and running away from orbs in advance which isnt the point of the strat

can i jump straight into HoH to level solo or is it like potd where I'mma need to play it a bit to upgrade the gear so it's solo'able

PotD and HoH are both considered Deep Dungeons and thus share similar structures. So yeah you’ll need more aetherpool upgrades to be able to solo.

I used to do expert roul on AST, and kinda struggled when I ran out of ED charges. I still usually managed to get to the last pull without casting GCD heals @elder meteor
I have no experience with Whm.
You can afk during cutscenes in prae

Half a level for 40m is pretty good I’d say. Comparing to two equivalent level dungeons, it roughly equals out.
zinc orbitBOT

The reward is immense and is appropriate to the time spent.
Whether you want to do that with your time is up to you.

All healers manage endgame dungeons just fine@elder meteor

You can disable that your emote is shown in chat log. Perhaps the people you interacted with have that on

Bit of an odd request, but I’m hoping to get to Shirogane Ward 8 on Faerie/Aether for an event, but because I don’t have the area unlocked I think my only way in would be warping to a friends property there, but the only friend I’ve got with Shirogane property is in Ward 18
So, in short, anyone in Ward 8 that’s willing to friend me so I can warp in? 😅
little swift
If you can warp in go to ferry man at akanegakumo bridge and switch wards from there @spice zinc
spice zinc
Unfortunately because I don’t have it properly unlocked, the ferry man just gives me a message about ‘the ferry being out of order’ aha
And I can’t do anything with him

Hmm
sinful mist
Ask someone from the event to help you out?

I need help

Ah, yeah I’ll see if I can find someone, surely if it’s hosted there someone involved lives there
I can’t believe I thought to ask here first instead of with them, but thanks! 😅

@manic schooner use the /waymark command

re-up FoF when it's off cooldown immediately before a goring

@faint flare ok now I'm confused. Does my main hand weapon make my spells do more damage?
leaden ginkgo
Ok lemme see if it'll let me pick it up now
sweet leaf
weapon damage is a factor on dps classes since they tick over time between skills, but magic users don't need it. if you double-right-click an enemy, you will see your basic attack animation and damage. all of the magic users are ranged, and their basic attacks only work at melee range. @mellow dirge

Its the best stat

@sinful mist determination is just an overall damage and healing increase, which is never bad to have

ye im using those. im still curious about the feasibility of using dungeons for dungeon gear.
am i overestimating the grind?
gentle quarry
@wheat bone Tonberry/Kujata/Typhon are your options

its too annoying to grind for dungeon gear

it's just dungeons, just reach the min iLVL, do yer rotation correctly and you'll be fine

yeah thats what im feeling so far
but other than that
im a glamour addict
so dungeon grinding it is i guess
some of the coffer gear looks pretty good too

If you 80 you could just get neo-Ishtarian gear and save the coffers for another job you Lvl. Assuming you don't already Lvl another job

for the coffers i google which jobs have the coolest looking gear and save the ones i dont have jobs for yet lol

Does phantasmagoria have a use? Or is it just for getting 450-470 gear if you can't afford neo-ishgard?

The neo-Ishtarian you get from market. Expensive but it gets you through most of the content of the game

it's currently for getting 480 to upgrade to 490

outside of boss fights where its on cd or in harder content or when i step in bad, is there a reason to use mitigation other than tbn on drk?
ever since i got it ive been doing the msq dungeons lvl appropriate and i dont feel the need to use anything like rampart or the 30% one. not for trash pulls and not for bosses. i use the raid wide mitigation for the party but thats it.
I dont fall below 70% health generally speaking.
am i doing this right or should i be using other mitigation skills no matter what?
remote lintel
you always use them
oak smelt
ah. lol im doing trusts so didnt think of that
remote lintel
and you 100% use them on trash pulls
oak smelt
gotta be nice to the healer
remote lintel
trash hits harder than bosses

you should use them. Healers heal less = DPS more

ye. should have thought of that.
tank superiority complex got the better of me.
alpine heath
What's the best macro for Earthly Star?
autumn oriole
That’s why always try to use all the ogcd skills and raid buffs during trash pulls instead of bosses

if you tried pulling multiple packs in a regular dungeon without cds your health would drop fast
autumn oriole
Healing is much easier at higher level dungeons

you can also put a debuff on ATK when boss about to use a room-wide attack. It heals healer a bit, I guess.

Ogcds do all the job

autumn oriole
I prefer placing them manually instead of using macro
remote lintel
macros are always slower
autumn oriole
Manual placing is also more customizable and accurate
alpine heath
It's always harder for me having to place it mid battle especially because its in CTRL + 4 keybind
Having a macro makes it a lot easier
Also you can still place it yourself with the macro Cerberus gave
If you have no target

I usually place the center from the boss slightly towards my team
So the edge catches the tank
