how worth it is to upgrade to the new crafted gear on patch release vs progging a tier with the previous tier's bis?
*is it
faint flare
Only worth it if you're going for week 1 clears
Its a 10 ilvl increase and gets you the minimum ilvl for all 4 clears
(5 ilvl increase for weapon)

what's the current best use for phantasmagoria? augmenting neo ishgardian gear?

Since I’ll be using umbral soul while the tank is initiating a pull to get to the wall, can I skip freeze and immediately go : Fire III -> Flare Flare?
leaden ginkgo
yeah on blm when you have 3 hearts between pull, ty to umbral soul you can immediatly fire 3 > flare or thunder 3 > fire > flare

okay, thank you!

on more than 5 targets you don't fire 3 btw
dawn yarrow
hey, when i'm choosing a class for a retainer should i expect them to keep that class forever? i.e is it normal for retainers to have many classes levelled?
pure rune
hello i have managed to get as far as "vows of virtue, deeds of cruelty" is this solo quest VITAL??
i am not young and have a bit of a hand trmor which makes this quest un do able for me
pure rune
i think I ll get my dUGHTER TO DO THE QUEST FOR ME..
stark sleet
@dawn yarrow You can switch them if you want, but it's just inconvenient if you've already spent time levelling and gearing one class. I think most people just give their retainer a class and never change it.

You think that’s enough time to farm all the weapons starting now? Or does it take way to much grind?
mossy tartan
on more than 5 targets you don't fire 3 btw
@leaden ginkgo sorry I just saw it late. Why shouldn’t I use it?
faint flare
Because the extra gcd when there's 5+ targets loses dps

Just skip to flare / T4 then?

hybrid bramble
To your perspective, do you think standard subscription is cheaper than entry? Or the other way around?
mystic blaze
entry?
wispy parcel
@warm trellis deep dungeon in general is entirely randomized so there isnt really an answer to that question
There are 2 different types of subs. Standard and Entry
Standard lets you make up to 8 characters per server
mystic blaze
ok
wispy parcel
Entry is you can make 4 characters in total
No real reason to do standard sub imo
Entry is a bit cheaper and since you can do everything on 1 character kinda eliminates the point in making alts
hybrid bramble
I don't use alts, and thank goodness they gives us entry option

Hi when i watch the main story quests the voice is way too far i wanna listen rather than reading please help?
faint flare
The voice acting for the first part of the game is terrible, it gets better in heavensward
twilit arch
hm, you mean that the voices sound like they're super quiet?
sage sapphire
yes like an echo
hazy shadow
@jade lava for any niche content . Your best bet will be to. Use pf
twilit arch
that sounds like your audio settings might be off? maybe double check them in the system setting menu
jade lava
yeah, im ft rn so unless there's a party for whatever piece of content i can't do it right now, oh well tho, not like the contents gonna be very worthwhile for a long time
sage sapphire
@twilit arch the voice at 100 and the other volumes around 50
twilit arch
i would also look at the equalizer mode
sage sapphire
standard

try changing it to a different mode, see if makes any difference
otherwise, might wanna check your own system's audio settings

so uhhh, does the pace pick up in hw? i just finished the 2.1 quests and my god that was like 15 quests just to move some furniture and kill some moogles
faint flare
Yes
jade lava
oh thank god
faint flare
The post arr quests are notorious as a slog
Its 80 total quests before heavensward
After Ultimate weapon
No counting hard mode primals and crystal tower
jade lava
i see people praise the story a lot and tbh i don't feel it just yet, but i know people really love heavensward so im gonna play that through and see how i feel
faint flare
Well the post arr quests start setting it up in 2.4
Typically x.1-3 quests wrap up the previous story arc while x.4-5 sets up the next expansion
jade lava
ah that makes sense, i also need to go through the whole dragon politics thing because i know thats relevant as well
faint flare
Thats part of the heavensward bits
hazy shadow
@scarlet hinge the only lockout for. Puppet and copied are. Rewards
jade lava
yeah i know but it comes up in the main arr msq for a bit
open coral
CF doesn't have any lockout on rewards.
hazy shadow
Is it just bunkers then?
open coral
Yes
hazy shadow
Ah, mb
scarlet hinge
so i can do the raid again but no rewards?
open coral
They remove the lockout for alliance raids when the next tier comes out. Same as normal raids.
faint flare
Other than minion, music etc
hasty musk
No gear rewards specifically, iirc
faint flare
You wont be able to loot gear if you got your piexw
open coral
No gear rewards, no coin, and no stellaclusters.
Gear is x1 per week, and coin/clusters are first run per week only.
For PB
scarlet hinge
can I get minions even though I completed the raid for the week?
open coral
Yes
scarlet hinge
for bunker?
open coral
The cosmetic rewards - minions and music scrolls - are unlimited roll.
faint flare
The excess items aren't on the lockout
ONLY the gear
Which is why we specifically say gear
hazy shadow
It'll tell you how many rewards you can claim in the duty finder. It'll say 3/3 if you've claimed all that you can claim.
open coral
If it says 3/3 then you've gotten a piece of gear that week since 2 of the 3 rewards are first weekly clear only.
hazy shadow
^ yes that. I couldn't figure out how to phrase it.

i cant believe im asking this again XD but so many people told me opposing answers that im not sure again: if you buy shadowbringers only without base ARR can you still play the game up to the end?

No

No. You need Shadowbringers and the Starter Edition to play everything.

Buying Shadowbringers on its own does nothing
You need starter edition registered to use it

You can't even redeem Shadowbringers without the starter edition

What’s the yellow circle? It’s dot of thunder?
After the battle it keeps shiny why?
gleaming mist
it's your polyglot stack, which allows you to use foul and later xenoglossy

Oooo!
gleaming mist
it doesn't dissipate if you drop enochian, and stays until you die/change areas
or use it ofc

Your current progress to a stack of polyglot does disappear if your droo enochian though

Ah i see true! Foul glows
Thanks everyone! I will practice a lot to form a good rotation
agile night
Will I be able to obtain items like Brand-new Tabard again later? I like how it looks, though it's too low level to be useful for me now. And it won't let me put it in the armoire.

Yes, just redo the novice stuff
You can store it in your chocobo saddlebag if you wanna hold onto it for now
agile night
oh I didn't know that could be done
I still have plenty of space for now, I'm just trying to keep number of items under control
hollow tangle
I know i'm a new player but I don't understand why healers don't heal. I'm a new healer and I watch other healers in my party. They barely if ever heal which to me is insane. If your party is dead, there is NO dps at all.
faint flare
You'll need to do the bojza for the story to progress
Because healers heal using off global heals, not GCD heals thus it looks like they're not healing when they are healing while dpsing
If people die it means they usually stood in the bad
hollow tangle
that could be.

Off global heals are your first line of healing
They're FREE
Damage is scripted out the fucking ass
hollow tangle
my rotation is basically DPS until someone needs healing.
faint flare
And predictable as all shit
Proper use of off global heals means you can go without using any gcd heals
And dps like all the timr while healing with off globals
hollow tangle
I guess i'm just not at that god-tier healer mentality yet.
robust crow
if you look at a high end savage raider's healing parse
75% of their casts are damage
mossy tartan
Can I use the nob4 opener if I’m level 77? Or do I just lose DPS with it since I don’t have Xenoglossy?
robust crow
the idea is to minimize both the amount of actual healing needed AND the amount of overhealing you're doing
mossy tartan
Seems intuitive enough. I’ll go for it then
robust crow
remilia, you can also try the mod JP opener
it doesn't have xenoglossy in its opener at all
mossy tartan
I’m not going to play black mage full time, so I’ll stick with nob4 for now.
Every other opener seems too difficult
I’m only really learning the opener thing so I don’t become useless when I decide to run lvl 80 dungeons as BLM. Or rather, not being optimal
robust crow
mod JP is less complicated than the other ones imo
it's also shorter
but hey whatever you feel comfortable doing
unreal aspen
is bard
oops pressed enter
how is bard in damage overall compared to other dps classes?
fresh lodge
I'm pretty sure the no B4 opener doesn't even have Xeno in it
robust crow
bard is the lowest damage in the game right now
but bard is still viable
all classes are viable
unreal aspen
oh ok thanks LMAO
unreal aspen
yeah i just couldn't tell if i was shit at the class or not bc i geared up + learned the rotation/opener but just didn't seem to be doing well compared to other people
fresh lodge
The only requirement to the no BF opener is to have despair
mossy tartan
I'm pretty sure the no B4 opener doesn't even have Xeno in it
@fresh lodge is it outdated? I took the opener from akhmorning
robust crow
that's normal for both dancer and bard
you'll show up lower on your parser but on fflogs it'll factor in your raidwide contribution
fresh lodge
None of the openers have xeno in them
Xeno is something you use whenever
It doesn't have a set place
Like if you don't need the mana tick, then there isn't really a point to using xeno
mossy tartan
Isn’t the idea behind SpS tiers for openers is to align with specific buffs/ CDs?
warped nest
Your first Xeno is in 30s, pretty sure you are already in your rotation at that point
For BLM or for other jobs?
robust crow
Above 2500 SpS, you begin to run into the issue where  Xeno will not be available at the end of the opener as pictured, even when not using  Swiftcast. At this point, it is still viable to use the No B4 opener by using  F3 immediately after the  B4 instead of waiting on  Xeno
this is copy pasted from no b4 opener info on the blm guide
fresh lodge
Even then, I'd rather save xeno for movement then to the extra mana
robust crow
black mage is a little different with your usual sps tiers
since sps is not just for comfort, but also for maximizing DPS
robust crow
but there are significant sps tiers for blm as well
fresh lodge
Max SpS and Min SpS
robust crow
particular ones have their own openers
I suggest you take a closer look at the balance's BLM guide
they have opener recommendations for specific sps tiers
robust crow
yes but blm is really shit to play at 558 sps
robust crow
if you like it though, no problems with that
fresh lodge
The damage difference between min or max sps is minimal
Just use whatever one you like

Which 'fragments' in Bozja are the ones you use for getting the Bozjan Earring?
robust crow
btw @unreal aspen it doesn't matter how you're doing in comparison to other people, it depends how you're doing in comparison to other bards
twilit arch
all of the fragments you can get from bozja go towards the achievement for the earring
robust crow
bard is never gonna be able to hit 20k dps like a BLM can but you sure can work to be in the top 20% of all bards

I wanna get back into FFXIV. I wanna go on a new server, I've played to lv 30 on whitemage. I kinda wanna go support again and can't really decide between white mage, dancer and bard. I generally wanted to ask what supportive class is the one people are the most grateful for.
robust crow
dancer and bard are DPS
last kayak
Bard isn't really a support any more
gritty kite
Oh.
robust crow
you should not see them as a "support"
gritty kite
Well- let's talk about all supportive classes then! What do people want?
Like- what is just quality of life to play with?
robust crow
they are rather "DPS but have a few supportive abilities"
gritty kite
I wanna feel appreciated ;3;
last kayak
Dancer is the only 'buffer' class
gritty kite
If I play some budget support nobody likes I go sad.
robust crow
quality of life to play with is just being a good player that does high damage
people appreciate when you play your class well
regardless of your actual class
cedar compass
Tanks and healers get the commendations in dungeons
gritty kite
I mean- can whitemage even do like actual dps?
gritty kite
Wait so there's 3 supporters and 1 buffer in the game?
robust crow
tanks and healers make up like 30-40% of a raid team's DPS
gritty kite
White Mage, Scholar, Astrologian and Dancer?
faint flare
All healers are meant to dps as much as possible
robust crow
there is no such thing as a "support"
faint flare
And do extremely respectable dps
robust crow
it's either "healer" or "dps" or "tank"
gritty kite
I thought we don't call it healers cause one of the 3 healers is shield based.
robust crow
and yeah, astro/WHM/scholar are your healers
faint flare
Everyone is a dps here at the end of the day
robust crow
no, they are still called healers
faint flare
Healers are green dps
gritty kite
Mh.
robust crow
despite being shield based
gritty kite
Would you recommend dancer or one of the 3 healers?
robust crow
up to you
gritty kite
Since dancer is the only buffer, are people in need of more dancers?
robust crow
you sound like you'd rather be a healer than a DPS
gritty kite
Or what is hard to find?
faint flare
No
faint flare
People want GOOD players
gritty kite
Mh.
gritty kite
But they are a required dps cause nobody else can buff, right?
gritty kite
oh
robust crow
nothing is far from required
faint flare
Alots of jobs can buff
gritty kite
I thought they are like super special.
robust crow
the only things that are required is two tanks, two healers, and four DPS for a raid team
faint flare
Not really. Main difference is play style and their main gimmicks
last kayak
So think of them less as "classes" and more of "roles".
patent citrus
yeh, definitely special
last kayak
There are 5 roles.
gritty kite
Wait so Bard and Dancer are both the same- dps but a bit support.
faint flare
Both bard and dancer are physical ranged dps. They go about their dps in different ways
gritty kite
What does that mean?
robust crow
bard has raidwide buffs tacked onto their DPS moves
faint flare
Bard relys on dots to proc song effects
robust crow
DNC has a single-person buff tacked onto their DPS moves
both BRD and DNC have raidwide buffs though
gritty kite
aaa
gritty kite
I mean- I can't decide anymore..
Do I want to be a dps who buffs or a healer.
How do I decide this
robust crow
DNC picks a Dance Partner at the beginning of every fight and that Dance Partner gets like a 20-30% boost to their damage
gritty kite
healing is cool
faint flare
You'll end up playing everything at the end of the day
gritty kite
wym?
faint flare
You can be every job
robust crow
you can be every class in ff14
gritty kite
I will prob.. only level max 2 characters.
I know I know-
I mean- I don't really plan to SPEND super much time into the game.
I just wanna pick it up, to relax sometimes.
faint flare
Just level all the jobs you want
gritty kite
Mhh.
faint flare
The game is casual as hell
robust crow
they can't blame you because you weren't hte healer
zinc orbitBOT
faint flare
Pick up and put down whenever yoy want
last kayak
imho if you don't want to play much you will just spend 50 years doing the boring MSQ stuff and stop playing at lvl 30 lol.
robust crow
dancer's also widely considered one of the easiest jobs in the game
if that helps you decide
robust crow
dancer is literally just "press the glowing button"
gritty kite
but
gritty kite
but you guys said
oh
wait so
i could level my white mage
to 60
and then go dancer?
robust crow
yes
faint flare
Yes
gritty kite
oh.
robust crow
i do want to mention
gritty kite
how do i decide what server to play on?
robust crow
in my opinion
faint flare
Dancer starts at 60
gritty kite
yes?
robust crow
white mage is very boring to level
faint flare
!faq worldpick

mh-

you might already be gone
but hey you can consider summoner too
you get a healer and a DPS in one
last kayak
should probably clarify that more
faint flare
Gets summoner and scholar at once with arcanist
last kayak
how does Esprit work on Dancer? I keep my finish buff up but its very inconsistent about when I get to generate gauge
robust crow
raise is a really important utility
a lot of your esprit comes from your dance partner
so pick better partners
gleaming mist
getting esprit is random
faint flare
Its a random chance on yours and your partner gcds
gleaming mist
just have you and your partner roll your gcd and let the rng decide if you get it
xd
last kayak
so its normal to go like 15+ moves without getting gauge?
faint flare
Yes
gleaming mist
sometimes
faint flare
Just means you angered rngjesus
agile laurel
it is optimally better to pick a partner with a higher APM but in dungeons you obviously don't have that option
and for the sake of group dps it's best to just partner the most competent player
it's when ALL your dps are competent you can consider that
last kayak

Which Eureka zone has the best poetics payout

I believe they all pay out the same, so whichever is more populated....though hydasos does have ovni for a regular fate spawn on short cd so within doubt there i guess
crimson wind
Alright
hazy shadow
Redmage isnt really all that supportive. their vercure is literally only used to prep for a dual cast. Not. To heal people.
crimson wind
Yeah, bard and dancer actually have decent raid buffs 
Embolden is good
But
It's very party dependent
robust crow
i'm specifically talking about verraise
not about vercure
rdm has better access to raise than healers do
great for progging and learning fights
crimson wind
...and? It only uses it as a last resort.
robust crow
never verraised to see mechanics?
agile night
Just starting as arcanist. Is there a way to make the pet stop using aoe? I feel like I'm better off without it, keeps agroing everything around when I only want to fight one.
crimson wind
I've done prog well without a red mage
hazy shadow
Healers have swift cast, and unless it's a prog, people should not be dying repeatedly to mechs in an ideal situation I would think.
robust crow
i never said you can't prog without a rdm lol
i'm saying having access to rdm raise can greatly benefit your prog

@agile night use topaz if you have it available

whm can be "boring" since it really doesn't have any gimmick to it
manic flare
@gritty kite spam holy as white mage
gritty kite
what healer of the 3 is the most wanted one?
gleaming mist
clipping benison isn't terrible, but i would rather use it before you get to holy spamming
twilit arch
since usually you can just slap regen on people and then dps
sour ruin
You can't play dancer until you get at least 1 class to 60, so why not level whm that far and try dancer?
manic flare
whm can do almost as much dmg as dps casters
gleaming mist
or weave it after a swift holy
gritty kite
ya that was the idea.
crimson wind
WHM isn't boring because you need to optimise your dps moreso than AST or SCH

alc and cul are both pretty good at the start of a raid tier, since people are going to be a lot more actively buying pots/food then

You won't need shb until you get there, but you will need it if you want to play dancer because its a shb class
faint flare

With Bozja earring, how much exp should I be netting per fate/CE?
sour ruin
Only do what you want, the game is too big to worry about completing everything
gritty kite
its the same in ffxiv isnt it?
faint flare
There's alot to do since this is like a 8 year old game
warped nest
And are designed to sink time
faint flare
But you're introduced slowlu
twilit arch
tbh its a lot easier to collect things
sour ruin
You can't play it like wow, sidequests 
are only worth their story
twilit arch
because instead of nerfing the shit out of drop rates
14 tends to actually increase them
sour ruin
Will unlock content you can use
sour ruin
It is chill!
faint flare
Plus you'll be able to solo/face roll alot of old content at higher levels
gritty kite
I'll prob be stuck in story for weeks, if I play like that, no?
twilit arch
then play to relax and chill
faint flare
To make farming easier
sour ruin
Whats wrong with that?
faint flare
Content isn't going anywhere
twilit arch
A lot of these things are optional
faint flare
Always gonna be there
gritty kite
I mean.. story is mostly singleplayer, that would be an issue I guess. ;3;
hasty musk
the only reason you should care about how long things take is if you're trying to rush to endgame
gritty kite
I mean I wanna play w people.
I hate being alone.
But I figured story is mostly ment to be done alone.
faint flare
You get dungeons to do decently ish ofte
gritty kite
And it takes so long 
faint flare
Which are required for story
remote lintel
join an fc
faint flare
Also that
gritty kite
What's that?
faint flare
Fc - guilds
gritty kite
Ah!
hasty musk
FC = Free Company, or guilds like they said
faint flare
Guilds are primarily social stuff
But they do provide some buffs
Depending what theyre running that day
Usually xp buffs
gritty kite
Where can I like check what server I used to play on?
robust crow
do you have access to your account?
faint flare
Your Mogstation should have your information
remote lintel
!faq mogstation
zinc orbitBOT
hasty musk
well now you get to make one, I guess
gritty kite
I have one.
remote lintel
did you make it on steam or windows
gritty kite
windows, but wait.
remote lintel
steam and windows accounts are different
robust crow
it won't take you long to get back to that
gritty kite
I mean..
robust crow
well, i'm less likely to believe that your character is just "gone" as opposed to "maybe you logged in the wrong account"
gritty kite
Took me like 20 hours
angiii
I didn't!
It's german but um-
I have the collector versions.
It's 100% this account.
robust crow
do you at least remember what datacenter you were on?
gritty kite
Um-
Um..
ammm
maybe lisoux or something like that?
I don't even know if I played EU or NA ;3;
robust crow
louisoix is an EU server on chaos DC
gritty kite
wait- shouldnt my character be in Lodestone?
robust crow
it should, yes
gritty kite
or maybe can't I see the char because my thing ran out in march 2019?
robust crow
at the bottom of that page you screenshotted
gritty kite
im just pouting
Yea-
It says I have none.
Urgh-
Doesn't matter.
I'll just buy 30 days now and download ;3;
hasty musk
it seems like either you had a different account that you made that character on, or you deleted it at some point
gritty kite
Mh..
Maaaybe-
Maybe I deleted it?
But I don't think so.
I don't know tbh.
I'll just buy 30 days now.
Can I play my whitemage to 60 without shadowbringer?
robust crow
yes
hasty musk
yes
robust crow
level 60 is the free trial lol
gritty kite
WAIT
robust crow
but you can't get dancer
gritty kite
game is in maintenance right now?
robust crow
you need to own shadowbringers to learn dancer
gritty kite
I cannot use the trial, cause I already own an account.
Trial only is for people who never bought playtime.
fresh lodge
The server shouldn't be in maintenance atm
robust crow
(you could go the route of making a new account and benefit from the trial)
fresh lodge
Not worth starting a new account
fresh lodge
Just buy sub time
gritty kite
i cant use paypal?
robust crow
yeah i don't think so either
fresh lodge
No
fresh lodge
No
robust crow
almost certainly
hasty musk
probably
gritty kite
that name is cute o:
karmic veldt
Nah, that's a Roegadyn. /s
manic flare
why do they have a wanderer title
robust crow
wanderer just means their homeworld is a different server
karmic veldt
Wanderer is what you get when you're visiting another server, yeah.
fresh lodge
Because they're from another server
manic flare
what's the point of a bot coming to a different server?
fresh lodge
To advertise
gritty kite
Maybe they are legit o:
robust crow
probing marketboard?
gritty kite
I find bot-ish names cute sometimes.
manic flare
can bots access marketboard?
gritty kite
;3;
manic flare
i thought they were on free trial
fresh lodge
They do it so they can circumvent the character creation lockout
frank walrus
theres def mb bots
gritty kite
woa cool font
robust crow
you can't always create characters
robust crow
many servers don't allow character creation until a certain time of day
fresh lodge
They can't make bot on server A, so they make it on Server B then visit Server A
frank walrus
marketboard bots, often they're used to undercut automatically
gritty kite
I mean- whats the difference between like "Light" and "Dark" database?
fresh lodge
Yes
robust crow
jellyfish, if you are making a new character, you should pick a preferred server
manic flare
wait so people buy subscriptions for their bots?
robust crow
to get the exp bonus
manic flare
whats the benefit
fresh lodge
You can play with everyone on the same Datacenters as you
frank walrus
also look up if the server isnt unofficially designated as smth
fresh lodge
To get around the free trial restrictions
manic flare
they want to have an alt account but dont want to level the account?
frank walrus
ie. moogle is the french server which i didnt know when i chose it :')
gritty kite
Ahhh.
elder sinew
How do you get up here without flight?
gritty kite
Wait so- servers are only for language tbh?
elder sinew
Been going back/forth
oblique trellis
You can walk to it in there
elder sinew
From where
gritty kite
and free xp buff*
manic flare
@elder sinew can u dive?
fresh lodge
Pretty sure the entrance is underwater
elder sinew
Cliff wall all around
hazy shadow
Yes
manic flare
do u have diving
hazy shadow
The entrance is under water
elder sinew
Where's the underwater entrance
hazy shadow
Through a cave
manic flare
maybe it's accessible through diving
fresh lodge
Underwater
frank walrus
Wait so- servers are only for language tbh?
theres some unofficial designations like that, yeah! i think also lots of lgbt people choose faerie to play on and one server was the rp server ... i'm still p new so dont know everything ^^ but you can always world visit - the FC is the only thing you cant do cross-world
gritty kite
Wait. o:
oblique trellis
Oh that's where the aether current was I think.. yeah
gritty kite
Why do LGBT people go to Fairie?
hasty musk
Servers are primarily for region
gritty kite
Also do people roleplay in FFXIV? O:
hasty musk
yes
gritty kite
i google this
hasty musk
there's a designated RP tag in-game for a reason
frank walrus
it's just an unofficial thing, then people hear 'oh thats where x people congregate' so more people come etc etc ^^
hasty musk
datacenters are region-based, and servers within datacenters tend to have specific groups within them, users of specific languages being just one
gritty kite
What others specific groups are there? besides language or lgbt?
RPs*
as said
anything else?
frank walrus
check the listing i posted :3
oblique trellis
Yeah @kind shale, there's a cave along that wall to get in to Zekki - if you haven't gettin in yet
hasty musk
that's pretty much it I think? It's not an official thing
frank walrus
there's a detailed description
elder sinew
Found it thx
oblique trellis
There's a MSQ that takes you there
hasty musk
yup
robust crow
jellyfish, if I were you
gritty kite
yes?
robust crow
I would pick louisoix or spriggan
robust crow
they are currently the preferred servers and therefore you get the road to 70 exp boost
hasty musk
cultures exist within all servers, they're not all congregated within one
robust crow
if you have no prior server attachment you may as well pick the preferred ones
gritty kite
I swear-
This is why I dislike EU so much..
there's so many different languages.
like-
fresh lodge
Ok so let me explain that dumb as fuck reddit post that was linked
gritty kite
o:
fresh lodge
Don't take it seriously
hasty musk
^^^
robust crow
road to 70 is a double exp boost to EVERY CLASS until level 70
gritty kite
frank walrus
yeah, moogle for example might have a lot of french people but its not all french people
fresh lodge
Its all just based on hearsay and people making shit up
frank walrus
etc etc ❤️
gritty kite
wait i didnt mean to say bud
robust crow
gilgamesh hardcore raiding
gritty kite
but just spammed letters.
robust crow
hasty musk
pick a server based on region, and then you can find whatever groups you want within your datacenter
gritty kite
they speak funny 
fresh lodge
Why not Spriggan?
gritty kite
It's not recommended to go NA if I am EU, is it?
fresh lodge
Its preferred and currently open
hasty musk
no, go to an EU datacenter
gritty kite
Where is Spriggan?
fresh lodge
Chaos
gritty kite
I don't see it in the reddit list.
fresh lodge
EU
fresh lodge
The reddit list is dumb
gritty kite
fresh lodge
Stop reading it
gritty kite
I wanna play faerie now though. ;3;
fresh lodge
Then play Faerie
robust crow
half of them are sources from literally 1 person
fresh lodge
Just play on Faerie
gritty kite
People say I can't play faerie bc it's NA. ;3;
robust crow
or yeah if you want to be on faerie so bad, pick faerie
you might get some higher ping
warped seal
That list is a year out of date and is basically a meme. Don't take it seriously.
gritty kite
Wait-
fresh lodge
Wait
gritty kite
Is ping like an issue in the game?
fresh lodge
Don't play on Faerie
hasty musk
it can be
gritty kite
Why not?
fresh lodge
Just play on Spriggan
gritty kite
sgjndsf
fresh lodge
Because Faerie is NA
robust crow
you can server transfer later
hasty musk
that costs money though
robust crow
if you just like faerie because of LGBT community
i mean
all servers are LGBT friendly
gritty kite
I can transfer from EU to NA?
robust crow
if you want the community, you'll find one
gritty kite
idek
i just wanna not feel lonely n play fun game
idk why i make this so hard
for myself rn
fresh lodge
Just pick a server
agile laurel
speaking as someone who does, playing on NA from EU is bearable but you will notice it
gritty kite
sorry btw
gritty kite
If the server is preffered and gives more xp, doesn't that mean it's empty?
manic flare
i've heard dont pick japan servers
agile laurel
yeah i only do it because i have friends on US
manic flare
the people there are very toxic
gritty kite
It was a preffered server 1 year ago. And it still is.
fresh lodge
Not only will you have higher ping, but they'll have a different timezone to you
gritty kite
ah
manic flare
in japan server, they expect to vote abandon if u fail a dungeon 2-3 times
hasty musk
preferred means they want more people there, not that there's not a lot of people
gritty kite
Where do you guys play?
manic flare
or they put u on blacklist
fresh lodge
Snack
manic flare
never play in the japan server, all other servers are nice
fresh lodge
Stop passing off bullshit as fact please
fresh lodge
As someone who has played on a JP server, thats just dumb 4chan memes
Just play on Spriggan
gritty kite
@manic flare stupid >:c u make meara angry
little swift
that completely untrue snackattack
gritty kite
@fresh lodge Why Spriggan over the other preffered one?
robust crow
meara just got mad at that reddit post because it's 110% hearsay
let's not throw around more hearsay
fresh lodge
Because the other one is locked
manic flare
dude that's what someone in here told me
gritty kite
Wait how is preffered + locked?
open ember
i did not tell you that
gritty kite
@manic flare That doesn't mean that it's true?
fresh lodge
!faq serverlock
zinc orbitBOT
open ember
and i never said playing on JP is bad
robust crow
unlucky jellyfish lol, louisoix wasn't locked 10 minutes ago
open ember
i said the culture was different
gritty kite
agile laurel
servers lock and unlock really dynamically, it's literally based on how many people are currently online
robust crow
but that's just how it is for ff14
agile laurel
try at offpeak times
gritty kite
I am just so lost.
agile laurel
you'll get in then
robust crow
the locks are based on current server congestion
robust crow
when it's really busy more servers tend to be locked
agile laurel
drop it snack, it's not relevant
open ember
lol
