Is it forbidden to ask someone to make a party for our friends in this discord if we have the free trial ?
ripe hound
As MCH do you hold Flamethrower when doing AOE stuff?
I mean do you keep Flamethrower up for the whole 10 sec?
Or do you just flash it?
gleaming mist
you can just hold flamethrower, is more potency than spamming spread shot @ripe hound
ripe hound
kk
gleaming mist
however, you should break it if you have bioblaster or a hypercharge window

yeah

it's just changing when it ticks
leaden ginkgo
Is there a resource that very briefly will tell me boss mechanics that I can read right before going into fights the first time?
ripe hound
I see
gleaming mist
@leaden ginkgo i don't think there's a compendium for fight guides, so you'd have to google, or ask how mechanics work when you enter the instance

@fresh trail not forbidden but you'll have more luck trying that in a city in game at the main aetheryte

is there a good way to farm elemental crystals in HW? I hear killing elemetal sprites give you crystal too. Is it faster than going to dig node to node?
need like a few thousands for my yellow scrips.

best bet momo is to farm something else to sell for gil and then buy crystals off the MB if you're not a trial player

@leaden ginkgo legacy servers are just old servers from 1.0 days that doesn't mean much to anyone who doesn't have a character from back then. what you're looking for is preferred worlds because they give expbonus
you can use the !preferred <datacenter_name>command in #kupo-bot-spam to see which dcs have preferred worlds
for example
!preferred crystal

Good Evening, I'm having issues with lag in the game where I never did before. The game has ran beautifully for the past 7 months or so since I started and around a day or two ago I've been experiencing small moments where everyone around is will pause and nothing will happen, then everything sort of catches up. Did adamantoise server move for aether or any server location changes recently?
raw solstice
no, data center locations have remained the same for years. It's likely some issue with your ISP
lunar wagon
Is it the routing to the SE servers that could cause this?

@lunar wagon This happened to me 2 weeks ago, the reason is because my internet provider changed my settings from nat2 to nat3. I called them and asked to change back to nat2
It mostly affects fighting games (Tekken 7 in PS4 literally tells you that you cant play online with Nat3), and for FF14 in PS4 (me) and PC (my roommate) happened just the same that happened to you
slate arrow
@plain python only if the fish can be collected as a collectible, iirc, and slightly with Patience i/ii and the right hook
it's not recommended if you're going for scrips, but it's required for an aethersand per tier for crafted gear

@wheat plume is there a way to check your nat type. I guess I have a ISP issued router so they only have access to it.
@lunar wagon I can check it with my PS4 doing a connection test, but I don't know how to do it with PC
@lunar wagon and often internet providers, in some countries, dont change from nat2 to nat3. Luckily for me, the one I use in my country does it when I told them the videogames I play say they cant be played online with nat3. But last time it lasted only 1 month until they reverted back to nat3 and I needed to call them again. I suposse they have a limited number of nat2 they can use so when a user asks for it, they take it from another user.

crimson wind
So what's the mechanic after unjoined aspect in e7s?
jade quartz
Requires a material from airship voyages
and not many people are making em these days
jade quartz
Free Companies can construct airships in their estate workshops and send them on exploratory voyages
They're kind of like retainer ventures on a bigger scale.
lone spruce
Yeah I wouldn't know about that since I've never joined a free company
jade quartz
Takes a fair bit of effort and resources to run them.
raw solstice
@crimson wind raidwide, "tankbuster" if you wanna call that tickle a tankbuster, and then final phase. Which is pretty straightforward, but easier if you just look up a guide for it if you haven't to learn roughly what's going on. Then if you have questions if you find anything unclear, it's easier to answer
lone spruce
I would love to go shopping and buy cute clothes but alas I'm not rich enough 😔 I wish the game would let me take up Gegeruju's offer for me to be his sugar baby
crimson wind
Don't totally understand it
raw solstice
oh well I mean that's more just that mechanic, not really what's after
zinc orbitBOT
raw solstice
what's not clear about it to you?
raw solstice
I guess I'll just kinda go over the whole thing then. So at the start you get your color. You run up to the outer lane with the opposite color birds, and that'll give you the tether, which you soak with the rest of your same colored team
that'll swap your color
crimson wind
Which is?
raw solstice
so you have the towers that spawn on each corner (that's for dps + healers to deal with) and then birds that show up on each cardinal
crimson wind
That's the mechanic I'm talking about
raw solstice
it's your job to get close to one of the birds on the cardinal with your opposite color. It will tether to you, and then charge in a direct line through the arena (stunning you while it charges)
raw solstice
something like this
raw solstice
your color indicates which color of bird you should get yeah
raw solstice
well there is another tether stack similar to the one before it after that mechanic, and then the "braindead strat" thing you've probably heard of
and then after that is final phase
crimson wind
Nothing special for nado right?
raw solstice
I dunno what you'd particularly consider "special" or not
crimson wind
Just aspect and dps?
raw solstice
have to rotate around, taking an orb, and then there's rings of color that you have to step in according to your debuff

So I have a weapon with free green spots.. and I have some materia stones.. how do I add it to the weapon? Dont I just drag them to the weapon?

@bleak lake you need to unlock that. quest is "Forging the Spirit", in central thanalan
@bleak lake though, i wouldn't even bother really with materia melding to you reach like end game with you're best gear you're able to get atm
patent citrus
Well he need to unlock it regardless, or he won't be able to extract materia right? 🤔
patent citrus
skipping blue quest is just a bad idea 🤦♂️
outer plank
i never said he should skip it, i just said that don't bother with the melding system rn
patent citrus
oo sorry, wasn't referring to you haha

oh

I think the blue quest early in the game when you did the msq there
and if he read the dialogue, he wouldn't have that kind of question 😂

where can I check the drops from the Bozja critical engagements?

I got this stupid quest about adding materia to an item but they dont explain how
I want to get rid of the quest
I can extract materia but how do I ADD materia to an item?
no info anywhere about that lol

Usually you can find them in city markets.

Should be.

ok ty :p
Ah the NPC name was actually Materia Melder 😛
ah, appearntly this stupid quest want a specific materia.. a screw it lol
outer plank
do it when you get around it it, i say it wont be relevant now BUT later, it most certainly will help, materia is more of minmaxing stuff and the materia its probably asking for is probably like something like a 100 gil off the mb @bleak lake

I just saw someone with chocobo barding in a race. How do you change barding for a racing chocobo.
verbal rune
So after i craft the weapon required for relic weapon in ARR is just a bunch of other mindless quests? Does it require some other RNG/drop item?
gritty oracle
Hoo boy. So first you gotta fate farm a lot. Then you gotta hunt for specific enemies, fates, dungeons and levequests (!). A lot.
And then more grinding
relics are always a grind
twilit arch
which is why its strongly recommended to do it when you're max lvl and bored
because relic weapons are grinds
verbal rune
Yeah, but what I meant is 'are there other items or stuff that I can easily acquire from Market board, or I just a bunch of other slay this, kill this?
Also I'm planning to do them between queue times for dungeon
twilit arch
specifically for the ARR relics there is a stage where you're going to need crafted items
that are generally pretty pricey
twilit arch
the old relics are only for glamour at this point
they're not worth the time/effort as a weapon
glossy flare
For the first stage of the ARR relic you also get a title for each one, just for the record
But yes, basically what you said
glossy flare
The title isn't even grindy because it requires only the first stage though
zinc orbitBOT
verbal rune
I've been loking
Apparently the items you need for that weapon can be acquired with phoetics, no?
twilit arch
not at all of it
verbal rune
Ah, Alumina salts is a random drop from Chimera then?
verbal rune
Then I don't see any other items that are hard to get listed on the guide
glossy flare
I'm gonna assume you are only looking at stage 1 of it
twilit arch
its for the zodiac brave itself
outer plank
@small marsh i mean, the glamour for arr and hw relic look pretty nice, i dont know many people who are a fan of the stormblood relics, and the current relics are seemingly easier then any other steps to get.
twilit arch
that requires crafted item that is going to probably be expensive
verbal rune
Oh, yeah
outer plank
in terms of time to get, stormblood relics take the longest, then probably arr, then hw, and now the current ones
verbal rune
Then it's upgraded to zenith, atma, animus etc?
outer plank
@twilit arch going through eureka for the first time does take awhile, especially at the pagos step
twilit arch
it is not as bad as doing ARR
outer plank
its easier for sure yeah
twilit arch
i'm telling you that right now
glossy flare
yeah, ARR is the grindiest by far
outer plank
right, the 2% drop rates on the whats it called?
twilit arch
and while yes leveling is going to take awhile you are usually going to be able to work on progressing relic
atma isn't even the worst step
glossy flare
Well technically there are multiple glams
because each stage has a different look to it
So if you only want the first stage then sure

Well that's just a troll ad then 🤷
patent citrus
first time i've seen it

@gusty pasture it means they aren't good enough to get past a fight or a part in a fight that they've cleared.
hence the trap part
people expect people to know what they are doing
if they don't despite maybe lucking out and clearing once or twice
then its a trap party
glossy flare
Still, no reason to openly call it a trap party. Call it practice and actually improve
They are trolling
patent citrus
not an english speaker probably?
glossy flare
Maybe, though it seems unlikely tbh
patent citrus
definitely weird vocab there
twilit arch
or its like the description says "for fun"
and its not intended to be a serious party

gleaming sparrow
Should be sale soon i think
outer plank
@small marsh nothing, unless its new craftable raiding gear for week 1+ raiding. then probably alot
verbal rune
Waiting for black Friday ones in fact
outer plank
since most crafters require things from other crafters and it sort of feeds into itself, i'd say materials. that can be turned into useable things like food, glamour, potions, ect.
crafters rely heavily on craftable gear
as well
leaden ginkgo
are bozjan fragments used when appraised? or are they stored?
outer plank
in your holster
go back to a camp
open the large grey box
and put them in your holster
@small marsh did that answer it mostly?
the most expensive things flat down in the game economy wise is housing
follow by glamour and mounts
crafting gear and the mats to do so
food, materia and pots

Gladiator :D
twilit arch
the job unlock quest is at your class guild, but you also need to have completed the main scenario quest "Sylph Management" to do it
which is lvl 20 msq
outer plank
ok so go back to ul'dah go your class guild
do all the blue quests
after the 30 quest, you will get another quest
and that will give you the paladin jobstone
making you a paladin
jobs are basically like addons to a class that lets use your job abilities, which you will be getting for the rest of the game.

How does one become a dark knight? Cause high-key the only reason I choose the tank role
outer plank
some jobs like drk or any other expansion job don't have a baseline class
valid lance
Well shoot
outer plank
you'll be able to get it after you reach the heavensward expansion area
twilit arch
You need to reach Ishgard to be able to unlock Dark Knight
valid lance
Man that's going to be a minute
twilit arch
which requires lvl 50 and completion of A Realm Reborn's main scenario quest in its entirety
kind pewter
It is a hot minute but it's totally worth the ride!
outer plank
@valid lance its not like classes have multiple jobs (well theres one except to that), jobs are just like an upgraded class. glads can only be paladins
mrd can only be warriors
arcanist are the special ones
since they're the only baseline class with 2 jobs
valid lance
So my glad can't be drk? Only a paladin?
hasty musk
you can be a DRK, it's just an entirely separate job
outer plank
till you get drk
kind pewter
You can freely switch between jobs/classes
outer plank
you can play every job on one character so no need for alarm
kind pewter
Also when you get dark knight, you won't have to level it back up from level 1, you start at level 30.
So it's a much better time leveling.

twilit arch
nothing, its just flavour
hasty musk
attack element is irrelevant at this point
outer plank
fortunately or rather unfortnately the heavensward jobs are like the black sheeps in all this because they aren't accessible till you reach heavensward unlike the rest of them (they learned there lesson cause they realize that it might frustrate alot of players to gate jobs behind expansions, as evident by yourself)
@valid lance
so yeah
thats how it is for atleast dark knight and the like
but atleast you get a 2 free lv 50 jobs when you hit 50 on any class/job
kind pewter
when you do get dark knight though you'll love the story

@hasty musk is it ok if i do it between 5.2 and 5.3? im assuming 5.2 is about to end soonish?

no its related to my previous question

twilit arch
twinning's lore comes largely from alexander and omega

why i remember it wrong
twilit arch
because its not
oak smelt
aaaaah i havent even done omega yet
hasty musk
go do it
twilit arch
twinning was released with 5.0
outer plank
well really you might not have the context to the notes scattered about the dungeon
but otherwise its ignorable
if you're super into lore
go do the omega raids
but really theres nothing you can't learn that wouldnt be explained in a 5 minute wiki read
oak smelt
wait im a bit anal about lore and stuff so lemme know if this works. i finish 5.2 msq since i dont want to stop in the middle. then do omega and then twinning.
i havent done the triad yet either btw if that has significance.
valid lance
Oh one last question. How do appearances work? Can I have armor equipped, but change my characters appearance or do I gotta walk around in the un-aesthetically pleasing armor?

triad is irrelevant to the twinning

If there is a Blue quest icon, with the plus next to it. I know that unlocks something, but if it has the repeatable arrows. Does it still unlock something? or is it just a repeatable mission?
whole wasp
Just repeatables
They are mostly beast tribe quests and some random ones for raid gear in ARR and HW
Those gears are outdated btw. For glamour now.
Bluequest looks like this
granite spruce
yea, its just the case of I have seen repeatable missions and blue quests seperately but not under the same quest. So was a little confused
thanks btw

regarding the Memories for the new relic, done via lv 60 dungeons:
- i don't need the relic equipped, right?
- the EXP given is not much? If you're like 70+?
twilit arch
correct, you just need quest active and relic in inv
and no, exp is not really that great even if you're 60
because you're running a 60 dungeon, which the exp is basically whatever

When do I use Enochian? Just learned the spell
After fire III polarity switch, too?
proud willow
You want to use it immediately as soon as you're in either Astral/Umbral, and then it will stay on indefinitely as long as you don't mess up or have downtime
mossy tartan
Oh, so it can theoretically stay on forever in combat, provided that I keep my Umbral / astral states up?
proud willow
Correct

For some reason I started getting a cracking in volume n laggy movement in game n graphic driver is all up to date connection strong and monitor good no matter where I’m at or what graphic settings my fps constantly moves up n down fro like 28-55 anyone know what’s going on?
raw solstice
In between fights/during downtime you can also keep enochian up via transpose (and at higher levels, Umbral Soul). Less important at early levels, but good habit to get into since it becomes extra important at level 70+
mossy tartan
I’ve already got that habit readied up since I got transpose. Saw the endgame BLMs do it as a healer and I’ve always wondered why.
Thank you both, though

just to check my knowledge - frontline roulette gives 1k wolf marks, but there's a bonus tacked onto that for actual completion of the instance isn't there?
twilit arch
your placement at the end of the match also gives wolf marks
1st = 1k, 2nd = 750, 3rd =500
so can potentially get 2k a day

@uneven basin That happened to me too, I just got the game a few days ago. I fixed by turning off my windows firewall and using a VPN

vivid bobcat
so i've just hit lvl 80 and im still on lvl 72 quests from MSQ, is it worth picking up neo ishgardian items from the market board for my main job ?
what items will i get over the msq course
if any
outer plank
you got poetics right?
vivid bobcat
i have the lvl 70 sets on all my jobs at this poiint all classes at 390~ item level
i abused the road to 70 buff as much as possible 😛
twilit arch
if you've got the gil, picking up neo-ish isn't a bad idea
it'll let you skip the gear grind when you hit 80 and start working on doing raids etc
outer plank
you can buy a 440 set with poetics, from there step into normal raids, eden 1-4, spam those for gear. move on to eden 5-8, spam those for gear and do the puppet bunker alliance raid for a weekly set of
490 gear
twilit arch
poetics do not buy anything for lvl 80
except for mats needed for extra i480 weapons which he can't get
solar glade
are veteran rewards a one-time, one-character only redeem? like if I wanted to glamour the Strife set in two different characters, is that possible?
twilit arch
they are not done with the msq
they cannot do bozja side quest
they cannot buy the scalepoweder for the relic weapon
outer plank
i meant body pieces and accessory wise
twilit arch
poetics does not buy lvl 80 armour
outer plank
i must be mis remembering, i thought you could get rokan with poetics now
my mistake
twilit arch
no, those are bought with nuts
vivid bobcat
so it wouldnt be a complete waste of money ? i was worried that i would get better items than neo ishgardians after i completed msq only;
thanks for all the answers
twilit arch
veteran rewards are sent to all characters via mogmail @solar glade
solar glade
@twilit arch even to newly created ones?
twilit arch
yes
twilit arch
we're gonna be getting a new set of crafted gear here soon, but that's likely going to be very expensive at launch
neo-ish should also be enough for the new eden tier
like i said, it basically lets you skip having to grind up for gear
most neo-ish is fairly cheap
sterile forge
hey so what're some good hairstyles to get into if I wanted to be taken seriously rp wise :0
outer plank
your options are either buy neo, or grind for phantasmogorias tomestones so you can reach the ilv necessary to do e1-4, then farm e5-8 for gear. what ilv do they need to be to enter e1-4. ladder being the cheaper option
but its gonna take alot longer
hasty musk
@sterile forge this channel's a bit more gameplay oriented, so you'd probably wanna ask that in an RP community or something
sterile forge
oh ok! sorry about that
hasty musk
that being said, that'd probably depend on your character's premise, wouldn't it

Hello,
I´ve been playing Final Fantasy 14 Free Trial for 2 weeks now. After I reached Level 50 I decided to buy the full version. I used the mogry station to upgrade my version. But since there was no paypal as payment method I decided to buy crysta to be able to pay for the fullversion of the game. After the payment process I got an E-Mail of Paypal that, the paypment was successful. But after I visited the mogry station again I realized I still had 0 Crysta. It has been nearly an hour now and I´m afraid that I got scammed (jokingly).
Can someone help pls?
elfin osprey
what are the hotfixes for next maint
agile laurel
i've not had experience with buying crysta, but from what experience of mogstation i have had, it can tend to be on the delayed side
i may be wrong on this however so don't take my word
jaunty gorge
So for the 8 player treasure maps. Do people split the loot or does everyone get something automatically?
faint flare
The random drops like materia and node mats are randomly given out. Rare mats and stuff like minions, music etc are rolled on. Everyone gets gil
jaunty gorge
So just roll on everything basically and rng decides

Rolling mats are rolled on based on the loot rule the party leader sets
Either Owner needs or Free for all are the most common

@knotty moat if you're looking to farm for mounts you're better off making a party finder in-game for that

you might be able to do it assuming you have good gear like scaevan

you can definitely solo ramuh at 70

outer plank
@versed elm greased lightning
twilit arch
oh whoops that's greased lightning
outer plank
eventually when you get your fist forms, get something called grease lighting stack buff (indicated by that colored in icon when active)
outer plank
@versed elm so you got 3 fist forms, fist of fire, fist of wind and fist of earth. this is apart of the monks job gauge (a job gauge being an indicator of a jobs special resource, like paladins having an oath guage, or drk having a blood guage, they're all different and interact uniquely)
fist of earth: reduces damage
fist of wind: more movement speed
fist of fire: more damage
the first 2 are pretty useless as you're almost always gonna be in fist of fire
until lv 70+
twilit arch
just saying though....the fists don't have anything to do specifically with greased lightning
versed elm
Ok thank you!!!!
twilit arch
except for wind, but that isn't until 76
wet cradle
how do I get this buff? sorry there are a lot of names here

im pretty sure thats just someone using bountiful harvest II

no that's the buff of bountiful harvest II

gathering forturne sounds more like hq up. so my guess is leaf turn
i dont know
i dont pay attention to the buff gains
now well was i

@mossy tartan as in, best way to spend the queue time to gain EXP
twilit arch
Fates, Beast tribe dailies, hunt bills
mossy tartan
thank you
outer plank
@versed elm yeah, the color just indicates which fist type you're on. ill try not to overwhelm you but ill just try and simplify it. you're a combo based job, in fact monk has something called forms, which are split into 3. opo-opo, raptor, couruel. it goes 1-2-3, each form has 3 potential skills you can use before moving on to the next form. when you finish a couruel move you get something called grease lightning.
what it does is essentially increases your attack speed and damage for a short but refreshable duration, everytime you use a couruel form move it grants you one gl stack and refreshes its duration. right now as a puglist you can only hold one grease lightning, lv 20 you can hold 2, lv 40 you can have 3 and later on you can have 4 when certain conditions are met but thats way later.
again, fist types don't affect what grease lightning does (except for wind fist later)
fist types just being something that just passively stays on till you change it. its confusing but just think of them like permanant mini buffs. Really you just keep fist of fire (or what ever fist type you can use atm, probably fist of earth) on until you reach that point where you change into grease lightning 4, cause 10% damage will always beat the utilities the other 2 fist provide.
