the closest is Baldesion Arsenal which is a 56-man dungeon but its a niche content right now since its a lvl 70 area so it was popular last expansion

PVE content wise is just 4man dungeons(4 boss) -> 24-man Alliance Raids(5~6boss) -> Extreme Trials (1-boss 10 min fight) -> Savage Raids (8-man 1-boss) -> Ultimates (15+ minute anything goes)

you automatically unlock it by leveling to lvl 35 as a bard

What Wilco said @dawn mountain . The reason you don't want to do level 60 dungeons is because that used to be the level cap and they are purposefully designed to not be good for leveling since they didn't always give XP and also to stop you from overleveling between expansions

Which PoTD floors are the most efficient to level up a job at 72?
mossy tartan
Alright. Guess it’s more ShB dungeons then, ty though
twilit arch
if you're 72, should either being doing bozja or trust dungeons tbh
open ember
Bozja is better for 71+
twilit arch
if your normal dungeon queues aren't that quick
mossy tartan
Been skeptical about trust dungeons but I’ll give them a try

PotD = 1 - 60

is there a leveling discord to powerlevel blue mages to lvl 60 and normal classes to lvl 15 ?
i'll phrase this better, need a friend to lvl my classes with but he needs to have lvl 80 dps class for efficiency, is there a discord for this kinda of stuff ?
faint flare
No cause power levelling isn't a thing really outside of blue mage stuff cause mobs give trash xp for normal jobs
leaden ginkgo
it is a good way though to lvl normal classes to lvl 15 before spamming potd, i tried once with a stranger and he leveled my archer to lvl 15 in 10 mnts, unless there is a way i dont know about ?

Noooooo

they're not removing collectables

Remove
rapid aurora
ah, interesting
well, since I was waiting for 5.4 to get into scrip grinding for my gatherers anyway..
gritty oracle
can I report bots jsut for being bots? (teleporting around hitting stuff)
twilit arch
yes but its a bit more of a convoluted process than reporting RMT bots
since you have to report them thru the support desk
rapid aurora
Mainly cause I'm pretty sure there's gonna be a 5.4 crafter set to go along with Ishgard phase 4, and it'll probably utterly eclipse Aesthete's gear
twilit arch
very unlikely
given that SE tends to repeat how they do things
its likely we may see white scrip accessories and/or an augmented set of white scrip gear
but it is very unlikely we are going to get a whole new crafted crafter/gatherer set
rapid aurora
eh, i'm hedging my bets and doing my deliveries 🙂
faint flare
Aesthete will be BiS until the end
White scrip will be worse than melded Aesthete
Then no new gear after that
twilit arch
🤷♀️ if you want to do that, fair. but just saying both HW and SB the final BiS was released in .3 patch
rapid aurora
(besides I only have like 2 crafters at 80 lol)
faint flare
And se basically rarely breaks working patterns
rapid aurora
ah
faint flare
There's reasons people says 14 is formulaic as FUCK
rapid aurora
I mean, I'd like to get to the point where I can actually start making the neo-ishgardian and aesthete's sets anyway

Because if it aint broke, it stays the same
rapid aurora
y'know. since i'm broke 🙂

@patent citrus the MSQ-duty where you control ||Estinien||
Single player story duty

estinien. yes.

ow, a bit confusing since you said you were playing a bard 😂
mossy tartan
Having a hard time with mechanics, or with your personal damage?

a bit of both

do you use ps or kb&m?

when running potd do people normally just do 51-60 over and over again to level up?

do you have to get to 51-60 per class?
or now that i got it once i can do it on my smn
open coral
Nope
ebon lava
as well
faint flare
@pure rune keep the dot up, spam 1. Use the dive on cooldown, use Horrid roar to kill scientists and adds that spawn, dodge the bad
The fight is straightforward
And the npc text kinda tells you what to do
pure rune
ty I ll beat it YET!
open coral
In solo instances, the NPCs will usually talk to you and tell you what they want you to do in the chat log or system messages. If you're struggling, it's usually because the game wanted you to do one thing, but you were doing a different thing.
You can also (if you keep failing) elect to dial the difficulty way down on most solo instances.
It's not as satisfying, but it is a very good anti-frustration feature.
pure rune
done that already .
open coral
Oh, yeah, then definitely pay attention to what the game specifically tells you to do.
faint flare
Then you're failing mechanic basically
open coral
If it tells you to hit a specific target or use a specific ability, do that.
Also... I think you should have a self heal of some sort?
faint flare
The nuke heals you
open coral
I don't remember that particular instance very well because I only did it a couple of times.
faint flare
It has lifesteal
pure rune
not as estinien which bites
open coral
There's a self heal baked into one of the abilities
pure rune
oooOOOO
open coral
It should be a relatively strong one.
pure rune
now to figure out which one!! TYTY
faint flare
I think its like 50% life steal
open coral
So just make sure you're not standing in like, telegraphed major damage.
And the lifesteal should be enough to keep you up until the fight phases and has you use your pseudo-LB
pure rune
have not gotten to that part..yet
open coral
Yeah, that's like, the end of the fight.
pure rune
I have abetter idea now ty for the help!
open coral

Always stop to read the skill descriptions when you're not being yourself for an instance.

open coral
Crit > DH
abstract prawn
ok thanks !
open coral
Honestly just equip gear that has SAM listed as "can equip" and you'll be fine.
patent citrus
yeh, or just click that recommended gear button 😂
open coral
Nah, recommended gear will sometimes pick Fending gear for melee dps.
It keeps wanting me to equip my Ironworks Fending ring on my DRG
patent citrus
my tank apparently picked up my healing shire gear instead of the lower fending ring one 🤔 (primal)
maybe vitality is important for tank or something? 😂
cinder maple
So uhh...this pretty common? lol
faint flare
Phishing
little swift
Yah just a scam ignore
Its because the rings are all class
So it takes the higher ilvl stuff with no regard to whether its actually good
This stops being a problem after hw
open coral
You can report that as RMT activity @cinder maple
cinder maple
Yeah I did.
I'm just impressed at how close to the original mog station website it looks
faint flare
Thats the point of phishing scams
open coral
It wouldn't work if it didn't look almost the same
open coral
Yeah, I wonder about the algorithm for Recommended Gear sometimes.
Like, is it okay?
Is it drunk?
slate arrow
For tanks the Main Stat is vitality
So it always goes for the highest vitality stat regardless
patent citrus
make sense hehe
my healer recommended gear button took the 240 ilvl healer specific ring instead the 270 fending
tidal yarrow
if i have the game on console and i wanna play on pc i need to buy it again?

like on steam? im not sure how anything about pc things works
patent citrus
steam is seperate to the SE client one
tidal yarrow
mm.. so what's my best option?
patent citrus
would recommend the SE one
faint flare
You buy on either steam or SE to link to ps4
Non steam is usually preferred due to steams lock
tidal yarrow
but once i buy it like on a computer, can i play the game on an other computer or do i have basically to buy the game on each device
patent citrus
any computer
tidal yarrow
you mean i gotta buy it on both computer?

oh alright, that was my worry

lone spruce
For the whole anima weapons thing should I do it as SMN? Is there any benefit in me not getting SMN anima weapon? I’m level 76
open coral
Anima weapons are basically just glamour
lone spruce
Oh oof
open coral
Glamour that take a LOT of work.
lone spruce
Can you only get one?
open coral
No, you can get them for any job that meets the level qualifications.
lone spruce
Ah
open coral
If you want to go really crazy, you can get them for ALL your jobs.
lone spruce
Well regardless I’m not doing that grind rn
open coral
They're very pretty. lol
faint flare
Its usually advised to do old relics at cap so you can solo the dungeons
autumn oriole
The ShB relics are easier generally and they have ilevel 500 atm
open coral
But honestly at level 76, you're best off either trying to get the weapon from the level 75 dungeon (assuming you've gotten that far), or open one of the weapon coffers you get from the MSQ.
open coral
And then yeah, at level 80 you can quickly grab the 485 version of every relic weapon and upgrade whichever you like to 500 as well with a few days of grinding FATEs.
autumn oriole
It’s totally fine to still use scaeven gears at level 76. 70 to 79 gears have very little stat increase
open coral
I wouldn't say "totally" fine. It is Not Recommended for non-dps to do that.
faint flare
You can check uses here
open coral
Because even those little stat boosts from the dungeon gear can be pretty significant.
glacial isle
Yes I know but its a giant list of Blue/Green items and I don't know if they're better than the Ironworks gear (which is what I am currently working on)
faint flare
They're not
Ironworks is the best lv50 gear
Just compare the ilvls of the gear
Ilvl is king
glacial isle
Is the Staff of the Round good at lvl 60 or is there a super-Ironworks gear that's better?
faint flare
There's shire at 60
glacial isle
ofc
gloomy ice
Shire gear from Idyllshire is the level 60 equivalent to IW
faint flare
Each old level cap has poetic gear
As it used to be the final tome gear when the expansion was current
autumn oriole
Shire gears get outdated fast, since the stat jump from 60 to 69 is pretty significant
gloomy ice
That stat jump happens at 65. Bardam's still hurts all this time later.
faint flare
It goea at 65
open coral
Ironworks/Shire/Scaevan is the cap progression.
glacial isle
I mean I'm on the Free Trial so that's not an issue
open coral
For gear
faint flare
Like ironworks and scaevan
open coral
And yes, Bardam's Mettle is pain if you go in in Shire gear.
autumn oriole
Scaeven still feels pretty good at 79
open coral
Even the level 77 dungeon will cause you to struggle if you're the tank or healer and still in full Scaevan.
I do not recommend it.
autumn oriole
Shire is a lot worse
faint flare
No
open coral
Not really
open coral
Basically, if you're dps, it feels about the same. If you're a tank or healer, you'll feel the pain if you don't start upgrading your gear around level 65/75
glacial isle
the Free Trial only goes up to lvl 60 IIRC
faint flare
Yes
open coral
I say this as a healer main who did go into the level 65/75 instances in full Aug Shire/Aug Scaevan gear.
glacial isle
So this is not a concern, esp since I'm still working on post-ARR stuff
autumn oriole
Scaeven’s stats are only slightly lower than mt gulg gears
glacial isle
and by that I mean Stardust Rod
gloomy ice
55 too. 57 dungeon with a tank or heals in only IW is suffering.
faint flare
Mt gulg is like 418 or something? Basically 20 ilvl increase
open coral
I actually struggled less in the 57 dungeon in full Ironworks than I did in the 73 dungeon in full Aug Scaevan.
faint flare
I forgot doma/castrum ilvl
autumn oriole
It scales pretty poorly between 400 and 418 though
faint flare
Not really
open coral
It really doesn't
There is a marked difference going into Mt Gulg in full Scaevan and going in wearing mostly Qitana/Malikah's gear.
Like, a very noticeable difference.
autumn oriole
https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/playguide/db/item/c260d47783e/
https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/playguide/db/item/648d48fbfec/
Shire vs 69 gears
open coral
Yes. I know what the stats are.
The point isn't that there is only a "small" increase in the stats.
It's that those "minor" increases make a MAJOR difference in both survivability (for tanks) and output (for healers/dps).
autumn oriole
https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/playguide/db/item/1e7bef5c50b/
https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/playguide/db/item/9658aa56aea/
Scaeven vs 79
open coral
I have more argue, but this is getting off topic for this channel.
twilit arch
im going to end this and just say that while its not the end of the world to go into mt gulg with augmented scaevan, you should ideally upgrade your gear
faint flare
353 to 391 is pretty fucking significant
plain python
if I'm into glamoring, I should have specialist on weaver, leatherworker and armorer?
twilit arch
it will make things a lot less painful if you do
autumn oriole
Shire has a way higher stat gap
twilit arch
generally, specialist recipes are either crafted primal weapons, and latest EX barding/trophy/orchestrion
bulk of the weapons are usually blacksmith, with carpenter and goldsmith making up a fair bit of the rest
zinc orbitBOT
twilit arch
so i would probably say those three for glamour purposes
open coral
You can also purchase the crafted items on the market board.
If you don't want to worry about crafting them yourself.

Cure 1 should heal majority of their health
open coral
Learn what your personal threshold is too.
leaden ginkgo
O lol I keep them being full all the time
faint flare
Basically: stop overhealing
leaden ginkgo
Ah didn’t know that
open coral
50% is the rule of thumb threshold for healers, but for some you might want to heal at 70% or as low as 20%
faint flare
See and learn how much youe cure heals for
And compare it to the tanks health
Then yoy can judge how low they can drop
open coral
But seriously, if you have a low level weapon, upgrade it and watch your healing numbers skyrocket.
open coral
Although you should be getting weapon upgrades from your class quests every 5 levels right now.
So make sure you're equipping those at the very least. Or dungeon ones if you get lucky and get one.
leaden ginkgo
Gotcha no over healing upgrade gears and level up to have regen and etc.

Lucid Dreaming is a Role ability, not a job ability.
leaden ginkgo
Ah ok
faint flare
Aka use it immediately when its available
open coral
So it won't show up under your Class skills list.
open coral
Also some food for thought: learning how to be a good healer is about practice and observation. Take the time to learn how each fight flows, and your burden as a healer will be relatively small.

Do you still get poetics for unsyncing dungeons?
leaden ginkgo
only if it’s first time bonus
faint flare
Because you lack accessories
Which is a significant stat lost
Thw game doesn't give you lv60 accessories or belt for dancer on unlock
toxic falcon
so what do i do
faint flare
Get accessories somehow, buying off market probably
toxic falcon
Alright
Maybe i can just grind for poectics with my lancer
I know the main thing i need to buff is dex
faint flare
When you look at gear on market, it defaults to gear you can equip as your job and level
And goes in level order
So first stuff you'll see is the strongest
toxic falcon
Ik
faint flare
Typically
queen cove
?
Any piece that are for physical range will always have dexterity as a stat
Dexterity and vitality to be specific, and both scale with item level
faint flare
Ilvl
toxic falcon
Oh
faint flare
You're missing accessories which really pulls down your ilvl
toxic falcon
Oh wait
faint flare
Whereas your other job as items in every slot
queen cove
When you first unlock dancer, the coffer only gives you left side gear
not accessories(right side)
toxic falcon
Im talking abount lancer
queen cove
So the best option is to #1 Buy gear with poetics, from any of the Rowena vendors
toxic falcon
hold on
queen cove
Ah

Ilvl is calculated by adding up every slot (weapons count as double) and dividing by 13

Any reason to buy gear DoM II over DoM I? 😛
toxic falcon
How?!|
toxic falcon
ugh..i knew i sucked at this game
wintry chasm
You're wearing in part level 50 gear as a level 60
That's an entire expansion's difference of gear
toxic falcon
because i dont have anything eles
wintry chasm
Is lancer your first job?
toxic falcon
yes
wintry chasm
Then main story would have been handing you gear as you went on
through dungeons
and quests
toxic falcon
They were low
wintry chasm
Not only did you never buy ironworks gear at level 50 which is ilvl 130
but you haven't bought shire gear at 60
toxic falcon
shire?
faint flare
Lv60 ironworks
wintry chasm
The gear you get in Heavensward you buy with poetics
faint flare
Or extremely behind in story
wintry chasm
You've neglected so so so much gear for so so so long I don't understand how you did it unless you are behind in story yeah
where are you in story?
toxic falcon
Ultima weapon
wintry chasm
Well when you finish that quest
you can get ironworks gear in Mor Dhona for the rest of it
ilvl 130
toxic falcon
Well
wintry chasm
and that'll see you a fair ways into Heavensward
wintry chasm
You should still fill out the rest of the slots with ironworks
poetics basically grows on trees
zinc orbitBOT
wintry chasm
you'll never really be desparate for them
wintry chasm
and the rest of your roulettes will give poetics too basically
faint flare
There's tons of sources for poetics
elder sinew
What does Plenary Indulgence on WHM even do
toxic falcon
Dose repating MSQ dugions count?
elder sinew
Just another 200 potency heal?
faint flare
Every medica, medica 2 or rapture triggers an additional heal ontop of the original heal for the duration of plenary
toxic falcon
Theres two dutys in MSQ that give 200
But i beat them
If i did it again would i get 200 agian or no
faint flare
Roulette reward it once daily
faint flare
After doing that and finishing the quest
You can unlock a ton more dungeons
That all give poetics
toxic falcon
So once i beat ultima
faint flare
Plus you'll be getting first time bonus for extra
faint flare
And unlock additional roulettes for unlocking that content
faint flare
It is old and been built on
faint flare
Cause you're not really meant to be that high at your point

hm..
delicate forge
bozja newbie, giga confused. How do I upgrade my resistance rank? It says I have the right amount of mettle, but when I talk to the commander he just gives me standard dialogue, no options to promote or anything
toxic falcon
SO what do i do now?
delicate forge
thank you
faint flare
Plus the gear only helps in the overworld
You gear for story level more than job level
toxic falcon
just spam msq?
faint flare
More or less
faint flare
You get mettle on bojza by doing fates/critical engagements
raven sage
Did you do the quest to level up?
toxic falcon

Not you

yup its blue, maybe I missed a quest?
raven sage
not you noct

At vendor I can choose DoM I and DoM II .. whats the diffrence?
frank wigeon
hey sorry i asked this earlier and also googled it but couldnt find a straight answer, may i ask whats the most efficient way to get mgp playing and afk?
bleak lake
but DoM II doesnt seem to have healing stuff?
faint flare
Under each Casting piexe
twilit arch
are you sure about that? assuming you're looking at the shire gear, while the names don't have "of healing" there is healer gear
faint flare
Is the healing piece
twilit arch
but they do have healer stats on them
bleak lake
ah true, didnt just have the healing name hehe

How far in 5.1 do I need to get to do the raid?
twilit arch
you dont need to be in 5.1 to do eden raids
gloomy ice
You can unlock raids as soon as you finish the level 80 quest named Shadowbringers.
scarlet hinge
ok
twilit arch
unlock quest will be in the crystarium
short sparrow
Failed my first time, too much messing about, but thanks for the tip - done it the second time.
rigid dust
is there a way to repeat the level 80 quest where youre ||walking through Cid's memory||? i think i have a trial for it, but i want to get back to the part before the fight where you're trying to rebuild the bridge~
faint flare
Not yet
gloomy ice
As far as I'm aware there is not. The optional trial you can unlock afterward is an Extreme version of the final encounter in that instance but I think the rest is inaccessible after the first time.
rigid dust
aw man :c thanks you two~!! what are the odds they let you later on? that bridge section was amazing for screenshots lol
rigid dust
yikes. thanks for the info!! i'll just have to keep my eyes out for more cool spots c:

Do high level characters deal inherently more damage to lower level mobs than higher level mobs? (excluding chance to miss) I just did a 92k direct crit stardiver to Byakko and I feel like I shouldn't be doing this much damage.

i was under the impression that people actually queued for normal raids but i've now queued for 2 hours total for the first coil of bahamut
faint flare
Coils is under the "pf and unsync" category
obsidian patio
Yeah binding coil was made before the difficulty difference of normal and savage for 8-man raids
gloomy ice
Normal Raid roulette has only the normal difficulty versions of level 60, 70, and 80 raids. Coils isn't included because of its inherent difficulty being so high.
jade lava
in terms of raiding and other duties it doesn't matter what world im on as long as it's the same data center right?
obsidian patio
Correct

mossy tartan
Is it acceptable to clip a rotation to use a thunder proc?
obsidian patio
If you mean stop your current cast then no
plucky ether
I'm on playstation and been playing the free trial for a while and just bought the full game from the playstation store but I think I'm still in the free trial. What am I missing?
obsidian patio
But if you mean just using it then you can use it pretty much anywhere during the fire cycle
mossy tartan
Not that, as in, if I had a flare to cast next, and suddenly a thunder proc occurred, do I use the thunder first?
Ok
mossy tartan
Same idea for single target?
obsidian patio
Yes, but you try to maximize the duration of the dot so you don’t refresh it right away
robust crow
ideally you wait until the last second to use thunder without letting enochian drop
obsidian patio
AKA, you apply Thunder and then get a proc 3 seconds later, you ideally don’t use that proc until it’s about to run out or when the Thunder dot is about to run out
robust crow
assuming standard BLM rotation, you have time on each side of the f1 cast to use one spell that isn't fire 4, so thunder
mossy tartan
I see, makes sense
obsidian patio
Of course, you can use the proc earlier for movement if needed
plucky ether
How do I activate the full game after buying it on the playstation store?
obsidian patio
Should be done automatically when launching the game
If you already linked your account when playing the trial
robust crow
in aoe, it's "best" to use your thunder proc during ice phase in the off chance you don't get a mana tick to go back into fire phase and you don't have a polyglot for foul
but really just use it whenever you get it
obsidian patio
Digital PS4 basically does it all for you in terms of upgrading to base game and buying expansions
plucky ether
I playing on the same account I used to buy it.
mystic blaze
how's the loot in FF14?
plucky ether
Was I supposed to link my square enix account to something?

robust crow
decent gear at max level is very easy to get
during raid times, endgame gear is locked to pretty much once per boss per week
right now it isn't because we're at the very end of the tier
with a new raid tier coming out in like a month
short sparrow
There's a ton of crafting mats, I'd say more than in WoW.
mystic blaze
I'm not really used to mmos. I've played path of exile
robust crow
mounts have a certain chance to drop from certain bosses
yeah there's a ton of random materials for crafting
short sparrow
So many that it's somewhat a challenge to manage them if you want to do all the crafting types.
mystic blaze
I was turned away by the more anime stuff at first but then I learned to embrace it. I shouldn't really compare this to the other WRPGs I played. i'm definitely a fan of final fantasy as I played the ps1 games
robust crow
for probably 90% of all players, the "decent" gear I was talking about is beyond sufficient
short sparrow
I wouldn't say it's that anime in style.
short sparrow
The main exception being that some of the male characters are exceptionally pretty.
That may register as "anime style" to you?
mystic blaze
yes lol
short sparrow
I feel like the story plays more on WRPG tropes combined with Final Fantasy tropes than it does anime ones.
Regarding the story, it kinda takes a while to pick up speed, but as a person who initially was not impressed, I'm gonna say it gets really good.
mystic blaze
yeah. the nautical themes at the beginning in my starter city feel different than the more whimsical themes in anime
plucky ether
I made an square enix account then did nothing else with it. Am I supposed to do something there to be able to play the full game? I'm on playstation.
mystic blaze
I probably have 10 different square logins on my password manager lol
short sparrow
Huh. Why is that?
mystic blaze
because the login process to square and ff14 isn't really consistent imo
plus I forget passwords and the like
short sparrow
it's a bit strange but not the worst I've wrestled with. ¯_(ツ)_/¯
plucky ether
Please
short sparrow
I don't really remember what I had to do. There's something about linking your S-E acct to your PSN acct.
mystic blaze
I actually enjoy the dialogue and the flavor text once I admit that I have to take my time and how this isn't WoW
short sparrow
And that should be all you gotta do.
Although sometimes it is frustrating, I love that FFXIV makes you play the whole story, nothing can be skipped.
mystic blaze
I was a bit skeptical for an mmo where it's main praise is the story but I can definitely smell it
ff14 also seems fine because I'm not really confident in the future development of WoW and ff14 community seems to have people that will appeal to me
short sparrow
It gets more involving a little bit at a time. I can't pretend the early parts of the base game (ARR / A Realm Reborn) were super-impressive to me for the story, but it was fun. At the point I'm at now, I'm just all the way in.
mystic blaze
the opening market with the giant crystal teleport place gave me a sense of wonder that WoW didn't. Made me feel like a kid again when I played mmos
short sparrow
Yeah, I used to love WoW, but... this game seems like a kinder, gentler place to be for a player who... honestly isn't that skilled.
Plus, you can play all classes ("Jobs") and all crafts on one character!
mystic blaze
yeah I can tell that there's portions of the WoW community that's more hardcore and drawn to avid streamers like asmongold
lone spruce
Wait you can get the camera like this during trials?
patent citrus
if you include people who suffer from dunning kruger a hardcore 😂
lone spruce
I just liked the anime aspect oof
obsidian patio
That just looks like it’s zoomed out, unless you mean something else
@plucky ether so there’s no prompt of any kind when you try to launch the game for linking the account?
mystic blaze
I like the anime aspect too.
plucky ether
No
mystic blaze
although since it's a world of tradeoffs, I'll have to sacrifice the leveling and dungeons from WoW. Is FF14 so different?
short sparrow
Not sure what you mean? There are plenty of dungeons to run if that's what you mean.
plucky ether
@obsidian patio no
mystic blaze
idk. I haven't gotten that far in the game
short sparrow
And as for levelling, with every class having its own level on one character, you can grind levels until the sun burns out. 😛
short sparrow
Oh there are tons of dungeons, they work just like WoW dungeons basically.
mystic blaze
can you still farm for gold and kill lots of enemies?
short sparrow
Except your default party size is 4, not 5.
mystic blaze
Awesome! Dungeons!
that seems fair if you can only make 4 work and not have your five man band grind with you lol
short sparrow
For raids and some other content it's either 8 or 24 person groups.
plucky ether
@obsidian patio I bought the 40 dollar version. Was that just the expansions and not the game?
short sparrow
Something that wasn't in WoW when I last played at least, Dungeons are "level synched" meaning that you can play a lower-level dungeon as a higher-level character and still get rewards from it.
mystic blaze
I've also been looking for a clan or raiding group to have another group during quarantine. Raid sizes seem fine. I still have to finish the free trial before I feel confident in a sub
scarlet hinge
How do i get my level 80 coffer?
short sparrow
Sure, there's a LOT of free trial content. 🙂
mystic blaze
playing a lower level area as a higher level is one of the most fun in rpgs lol

or like wsad idk
is there any other option?
ahh i just found legacy based
that seems much better
robust crow
personally
i unbind camera rotate from A and D
and bind strafe to A and D instead
this way Q and E can be used for two additional keybinds
in addition to that, legacy mode allowing S to run backward instead of slow walk helps
i pretty much only ever move camera with right-click hold

woeful nacelle
Is there any reason to hang on to low level materia?
twilit arch
no @alpine heath
if you want to do the ARR relic having the low level materia can be handy for the novus stage
for crafters/gatherers, low level materia is also still often world while to keep for pentamelding
otherwise, can transmute and hop to get higher grade or just sell on mb
alpine heath
(Or just be a dummy like me and sell more than 300 stacks of materia on a normal vendor)

because there are 3 tanks for 24 players in an alliance raid
queue as dps or healer, maybe wait until prime time for your datacenter too

yeah may be difficult tank is all ive got but thanks 😄

may want to consider picking up dancer or something
dancer starts at 60, rdm/sam start at 50
for future reference
for now you just have to tough out the queue or find some friends to queue with

I know this might seem really stupid to ask but considering this is my first time maxing out a DPS, I’ll go ahead.
Are openers supposed to be used only once in a combat? And after finishing it, do I start my single target rotation as necessary?

openers are what you use that the beginning of the fight
you then typically have a rotaiton that you loop and probably a burst phase when you have cooldowns ready

In particular it’s the nob4 BLM one

@leaden ginkgo That quest unlocks as soon as you finish the level 15 story quest named Call of the Sea, which is immediately after the brief city tour that unlocks airships.

what content is off limits for the free trial
and how would I know if I had the updated free trial from July?
leaden ginkgo
if i buy ffxiv off the squire enix store do i get a code or a download
can someone pls awsner me
gloomy ice
It gives you a product registration key, iirc.
@mystic blaze Free trial allows access to all content from A Realm Reborn and Heavensward. Content is not locked but some social and market features are. Joining free companies/player guilds, forming parties, market board access, retainers and a small handful of other things like that are restricted and there’s a money cap of 300k.
mystic blaze
ok. And what do I need for the full experience? Copy, fee, and expansions?
agile night
I'm on the trial now, been at it a few days and so far at least doesn't feel particularly restrictive
The only thing, I'm not sure if it's the trial or just how the game is, is I don't see anyone talking. I've talked to like 2 people in game so far
gloomy ice
Starter Edition is the same content as the trial, just removes the restrictions. The current expansion, Shadowbringers, includes the previous expansion. Buying Starter Edition + Shadowbringers comes up to the same price as buying the Complete Edition. Either approach will give you everything.
gloomy ice
Instruments are available only to Bards.
gloomy ice
You need to get archer to level 30 to unlock bard and from there, you can unlock instruments via a side quest in Gridania.
