I actually find mechanist and bard more difficult than most melees, but then I'm biased since I started with melee

manic flare
#

i love mechanist

#

i think it's the easiest class

#

i started off as an arcanist

#

but i had to switch jobs quickly since i maxed out to 80 before ARR ended

thorny stag
manic flare
#

bard is hard to play

#

bard rotations are complex

#

much more so than mechanist at least

slate arrow
#

Then.... you're either on the Free Trial client and need the Full steam client or you're not on the right Steam client

gritty oracle
#

Is E8S especially hard? I feel like I had less trouble with O12S, HW included, than Light Fucking Rampant.

manic flare
#

what is e8s?

obsidian patio
#

Eden Shiva

slate arrow
#

Eden's Gate Floor 8 Savage

thorny stag
#

I am not on the free trial client. I've played up through level 66 Stormblood content.

manic flare
#

u fight shiva again?

slate arrow
#

yes, but no

#

@thorny stag /shrug

gritty oracle
#

It's hard and spoilery to explain

#

Anyways, is it especially hard compared to other savage stuff or do I just suck? HW seemed fairly easy to me.

faint flare
#

Its mainly Light Rampart

slate arrow
#

It entirely depends on your party and the stat you take

faint flare
#

That walls alot of people

slate arrow
#

LR can either be smooth as a breeze or hard as heck because my uptime

raw solstice
#

if you did HW savage when it was relevant, that was more difficult than E8S

#

at least, compared to gordias/midas

steep pelican
#

Idk if this is ok for this channel or not. Correct me if I'm wrong. Buy I need 3 dps, 2 healers, 2 tanks for the duty The Praetorium

slate arrow
#

you can just use duty finder

gritty oracle
#

We're doing Sharingan. We've been progging it for like 2-3 weeks and we got to second mirrors exactly twice. Even then only 2-3 people lived through the third meteor tower

slate arrow
#

It's in it's own Roulette so queues are relatively easy to obtain

raw solstice
#

how often do you raid each week?

steep pelican
#

@slate arrow I'm a dps, the average wait time for m is 28 minutes

gritty oracle
#

HW is easy, just know where to stand and pray the healers got your hp. The timer is extremely generous compared to LR
We prog 1 to 3 times a week, usually for 3-4 hours each. Depends on whether people had something come up

lone spruce
raw solstice
#

oh, you meant hello world by HW, not heavensward haha

gritty oracle
#

You likely have an arcanist/SMN weapon equipped

#

Not a SCH ine

faint flare
#

@lone spruce use a Arcanist book as well

slate arrow
#

@lone spruce That book is Arcanist/Summoner only

lone spruce
#

Oh yeah I forgot how to change classes lmfao

raw solstice
#

but um, hello world is probably about on par difficulty-wise compared to light rampant? At least if you're doing O12S synced

gritty oracle
#

Check your main hand. If it says "grimoire" then yeah

slate arrow
#

Equipping a SCH book will automatically equip the gem for you

gritty oracle
#

Synced doesn't make the timer less generous, it just makes it deal more damage, which is mostly a healer problem

lone spruce
#

Oof I sold all my codexes why did I do that

raw solstice
#

if you're stuck on LR for that long, I'd recommend taking a look at what's causing wipes and try to address it. Don't be afraid to change to a different strat, explain things to certain members, make sure people know what they're doing and why

slate arrow
#

Just buy the Scholar book from Rowena for 600 poetics :p

gritty oracle
#

We have two melees so we kinda have to do Sharingan

raw solstice
#

hello world was mostly about the healing haha

#

nah

#

you really don't

#

like, the dps check isn't very tight and you can get pretty good uptime with various other strats as well. And even if not, getting a few more GCDs in during LR isn't going to be the difference between clearing or not at this point

#

if you can find a way to make the mechanic consistent for everyone, that will be infinitely more valuable than trying to force one specific strat that isn't working out, for whatever reason

obsidian patio
#

Yeah with how late in the tier it is, staying alive is much more important than squeezing out extra damage from uptime strats

gritty oracle
#

Oh

#

Well I'm not the RL so I probably won't propose ilya unless we don't get past it by the end of this weekend

gleaming mist
#

don't need to be the raid lead to propose ideas that might be healthy for the group

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

raw solstice
#

it's an infinitely valuable thing for prog. To be able to go "hey this movement seems tough for our group and is the main reason that we keep wiping. This other strat doesn't have that movement or simplifies it--can we give it a go for a few pulls?"

gritty kite
#

I am having huge struggles deciding what server to play.. I played to lv 30 before over a year ago. And now I wanna get back into the game. I found out my character is on Louisoix, which is a preffered server. But I kinda already set into my mind to go to Spriggan and now I don't know which one I should go to. I mean- Spriggan is newer, is there any reason to prefer it over Louisoix? I also kinda just want this new player experience I had 1 and a half years ago.

gritty oracle
#

If the two are on the same DC, it doesn't really matter. The only things that matter in server selection are MB health, NN attitude, the housing market and whether you can find a good FC

gritty kite
#

I've already talked about this w peeps here and they told me to just go to Spriggan. But now that I found out my lv 31 Bard is on Louisoix.. I am unsure again. I mean- I don't even care about that char, so I might just hop into Spriggan.. idk. I mean I am honestly so anxious abt the fact I am scared I won't meet cool people, like I see only NA people here that are so fricking cool ;3;

gritty oracle
#

You can make your character on Louisoix and effectively live on Spriggan.

gritty kite
#

Mh.

#

MB is Market right?

#

And NN?

gritty oracle
#

Novice network

gritty kite
#

Ah.

gritty oracle
#

Actually, how returning are you?

#

31 levels are not much honestly. One or two days of dedicated MSQ progression will get you there. Maybe less.

gritty kite
#

Yea- I know.

#

Wait so..

#

I don't even want to play my lalafee anymore.

gritty oracle
#

If you wanna go to Spriggan, go to Spriggan

gritty kite
#

I wanna make a new char and start fresh.

gritty oracle
#

Yeah

#

Do that!

gritty kite
#

I mean- idk where I wanna go. ;-;

#

IDK

#

i am like overthinking way 2 much.

faint flare
#

Flip a coin

gritty kite
#

I- idek.

#

oh god

gritty oracle
#

(and ask someone to invite you to the Novice network)

gritty kite
#

i cant ;3;

faint flare
#

It literally doesn't matter

gritty oracle
#

I'd say Spriggan for a more "new beginning" feel

faint flare
#

You can world visit to either server whenever you want

#

Since they're on the same data centre

gritty kite
#

Do you guys know anything abt Louisoix or Spriggan?

#

Like I mean- both servers are sorta new, no? one is 2 years old, the other one 1 year?

gritty oracle
#

Nope

faint flare
#

!faq worldpick

zinc orbitBOT
#
Which world should I pick?

You can play on any world on any datacenter within FFXIV. Aside from the languages spoken, the physical location of the servers, and the status of each world, there are no major differences.

The majority of content is cross-world, with the exception of Free Companies, Linkshells, and restrictions when visiting other worlds.

If you don't mind where you play, choose a world that is Preferred or New for character creation bonuses. Check world status by using !status <world name> or via the Lodestone. For information about the status types, use !faq worldtype.

Notable worlds:

  • Balmung & Mateus (Role-playing)
  • Tonberry & Kujata (Large amount of Oceanic players)
  • Moogle (Large amount of French players)
  • Shiva (Large amount of German players)
gritty oracle
#

If one is preferred, go there

faint flare
#

Neither of them are really notable

gritty oracle
#

The road to 70 is delicious

gritty kite
#

Both are preffered.

#

That's the big issue.

gritty oracle
#

Pick Spriggan then. Sounds cuter than Louisoix

gritty kite
#

I agree~

#

OKAY

#

That's a good statement.

#

I'll go bed n make my character tomorrow. c:

gritty oracle
#

^^

lone spruce
#

Anyone have a list of all the available dance emotes? Looking at a list of all emotes has way too many

gritty oracle
#

Ctrl F the page for "dance"

lone spruce
#

I’m on phone oof

proud willow
#

The ones I have are: Dance, Step Dance, Harvest Dance, Ball Dance, Manderville Dance, Bomb Dance, Thavnairian Dance, Gold Dance, Sundrop Dance, Moonlift Dance, Moogle Dance, Songbird, Yol Dance, Manderville Mambo, Flame Dance, Bee's Knees

#

there are some others in the cash shop, but I think I have all of them that you can get in the game

boreal storm
#

What Hildibrand quest line gives the mambo?

crimson crystal
#

stormblood one

#

probably near the end

#

yeah last stormblood one

boreal storm
#

Dammit

crimson crystal
#

hildy stormblood story is so good

#

one of my favorite side quests in the game

lone spruce
#

Can you make it so your weapon doesn’t appear on your character?

sweet leaf
#

yeah, in your character menu there should be a hide sheathed

boreal storm
#

It should be next to the hat circle

lone spruce
#

Okay I’m an idiot so if I’m in a place at the lavender beds if I have the chat mode in say can others hear me?

#

I know nothing about the finer points of chat aside from the very basics

jade quartz
#

Say is visible to people in a small radius around your character.

#

Yell is visible to a larger radius.

#

Shout reaches the whole zone.

lone spruce
#

Hmm they should’ve heard me but that’s all right

jade quartz
#

If you're inside a player/FC house, then the whole zone = just that house.

lone spruce
#

Wait I’m a half hour early yoshifacepalm

#

That’s why

SB spoiler question because #archived-lore-spoilers is busy discussing crabs. When Alisaie switches ||to RDM proper instead of waving some aether sword around, does she ditch her grimoire?||

When it comes to housing, is is possible to put stuff like walls, floors, doors, lights in my storeroom?

ember moth
#

Anyone know about LoV much? Specifically tournaments. I know there's a tourney Que that puts you against NPCs, does that do anything or just practice?

leaden ginkgo

how can I unlock sightseeing in Stormblood?

earnest echo
#

Does Ishgard crafting keep up well in later levels?

manic flare
#

from which vendors do i buy the scaevan weapons from?

#

or the equivalent ilevel 400 gear

little swift
#

try the sundries splendor in kugane

#

or the vendors in rhalgrs reach

chilly briar
#

Where is best place to fate grind from lvl 68-71?

leaden ginkgo
#

70+ Bozja

#

68 to 70, Azim Steppe probably, it has a nice spawn rate

vapid hemlock
#

Is there any way to check current collectables without having to go to an appraiser?
(P.S. Just started dipping my toes into the collectables grind and I hate this so much it's ruined crafting/gathering for me. 🙃 )

warped nest
#

Open Timer window

#

Rowena House of Splendor

vapid hemlock
#

What do if it's not there?

raven sage
#

That isn't a thing anymore

vapid hemlock
#

Oh, nvm. Apparently they're just permanent.

#

Yeah. Thanks anyway.

opaque pewter
#

Can I buy that lean against the wall emote? If so, how much is it?

little swift
#

its market tradeable

#

but also obtained from ishgard restoration for skybuilders scrips

lone spruce
#

Is there a way to get the game to stop telling me in chat that of x parties currently recruiting all match my search conditions?

#

Tired of seeing it

fresh lodge
#

Yeah it should be called something like party recommendations in the chat filter

opaque pewter
#

I don't know why i asked how much it costs considering that's a server to se rver thing, my bad.

#

I didn't mean to ask how much it was, I meant to ask the name of the emote.

manic flare
#

i lost the road to 70 buff (which gives double exp) even though the class i am using is still under level 70

warped nest
#

The Road to 70 buff goes away when the World is no longer Preferred and the character is older than 90 days

manic flare
#

well my server is still preferred tho

#

!preferred crystal

zinc orbitBOT
#
Information

List of preferred worlds for Crystal:
Coeurl
Diabolos
Goblin
Mateus
Zalera

manic flare
#

yea I am on Coeurl

warped nest
#

Huh

manic flare
#

My character is on Coerl world

warped nest
#

Just to be sure, you made it in Coeurl right?

manic flare
#

yes

warped nest
#

Imma call a <@&473626701947994134> here just to make sure I didn't miss anything

#

Otherwise, it is a bug and you want to report that

manic flare
fresh lodge
#

When did you make the character?

manic flare
#

about 90 days ago i think

gusty pasture
#

how do I find out which attacks are physical and magical?

gloomy ice
#

Coeurl was briefly a Standard world in September. That could be what caused the buff to drop, Snack.

fresh lodge
#

Yeah that would probably be why

warped nest
#

That can happen?

fresh lodge
#

ofc

warped nest
#

I always thought that world status doesn't change that quickly

manic flare
#

damn it

#

i should have done research

#

into which world would have stayed preferred

#

insteaad of picking one at random

warped nest
#

So, that boy caught the tail end of Preferred status

fresh lodge
#

No one can predict which servers change or not

warped nest
#

Oh well, tbh, Road to 70 is a nice buff, but it isn't the end of the world without it

manic flare
#

well it makes leveling up dps jobs and DoH harder i guess

warped nest
#

Positive thinking: now you get to play more

manic flare
#

@warped nest did the buff also give double exp to quests?

#

because in dungeons i would get +340 to +440% exp

#

but in quests i would only get +100%

gloomy ice
#

Almost every source of EXP, yeah. Even a few that wouldn't normally get bonuses.

warped nest
#

I am told that Road to 70 is the only bonus that buffs basically everything

autumn oriole
#

Quests don’t benefit from any other bonuses

#

They only benefit from road to 70

#

Road to 70 multiplies the exp by 2 after all the other buffs are added. It’s very different from armory bonus’ flat 100% buff and it applies to everything as long as you are below 70

manic flare
#

damn

#

that was a strong buff too

autumn oriole
#

It’s strong but not that crucial. Losing it slows down your leveling pace but leveling is also part of the experience anyway

warped nest
#

Road to 70 is great if you to aim grind levels for multiple jobs

#

it is not as useful if the player in question only seek to do story and doesn't have plans to try other jobs

gloomy ice
#

@gusty pasture There sort of isn't, short of testing them yourself or finding a resource that has them documented. I'm uncertain if anyone has done anything really comprehensive as it would be a massive undertaking.

little swift
#

a pretty good gauge for if something is physical is if it smacks you

#

literally

#

things like fist strikes, sword slashes

#

are usually physical

#

energy waves, elemental casts tend to be magical

warped nest
#

It is a lot easier in cases where you get specific types of vulnerability

steep pelican
#

Do red mages have a relic?

gloomy ice
#

Only for levels 70 and 80

warped nest
#

Yeah

steep pelican
#

@gloomy ice ah alright, so they get it a bit later then

warped nest
#

Jobs don't get relic in expansions that preceded them

autumn oriole
#

It’s a job from stormblood after all

warped nest
#

Gunbreaker is a Shadowbringers job, so it doesn't have relic in ARR, HW, or SB

gloomy ice
#

To date, relics have not been added retroactively aside from NIN.

warped nest
#

Imma let Ninja slide, since it is still introduced in ARR, albeit slightly later to the party

steep pelican
#

NIN? Ninja I'm guessing?

gloomy ice
#

Yeah lol. Job abbreviations are always three letters btw.

steep pelican
#

yeah ik that, but sometimes they aren't always clear to me

robust crow
#

you get used to them pretty quick

#

some people confuse blue mage with black mage though

#

BLU/BLM

patent citrus
#

i'm a GNB, for example if i'm attempting UCOB/UWU

#

there are no drops from GNB weapon

#

What will happen? Does the weapon drop as a coffer?

autumn oriole
#

Crafters and gatherers also use three-letter abbreviations btw

patent citrus
#

and if I got it, I just change job and open it as the job i want? 🤔

warped nest
#

Ultimates drop tokens/totem (unique to each Ultimate)

#

You then take the token to a trader to trade weapon

patent citrus
#

ah ok, so weapon is strictly token and no coffer?

warped nest
#

1 token 1 weapon

patent citrus
#

yeah, just asking if I should gear another class for UCOB/UWU just in case 🤦‍♂️

#

phew

#

ty ty

warped nest
#

Maybe someday they will add those back in

#

But we don't know when

#

Or if

patent citrus
#

yeah, it's ok 😂 as long as the drops don't get nerfed just because there's no weapon available for my class

#

is it? does the weapon coffer chance drop just because some classses doesn't have the respective weapon? like forexample if there are DNC and GNB in the party

#

will the party suffering from less chance of weapon drops?

warped nest
#

No

patent citrus
#

ahhh

#

ok ty ty

warped nest
#

You are overthinking it

#

It drops totems on completion

#

That's it

outer plank
#

@calm pasture havent a clue but sometimes i here a windows update might corrupt a file or so

#

try doing a fresh install of the game

#

if you cant find a solution

calm pasture
#

Yeah that's my next step but it takes a hot decade to download lol

brave ravine
#

reinstall your graphics drivers

barren sapphire
#

so I gotta ask, as a long time ff11 player i played ff14 for a bit but the job i mained in the other game wasn't in game yet so it made me hard to make that transition. but I hear those who main blue mage got burned in ff14 with its "limited class". So if i come back to ff14 for mainly wanting to play blue mage. Am i basically only getting a limited access to the game as a whole? and once the new expansion drops is blue mage just gonna be a class that was a "temporary thing" and becomes legacy to even play a class if that even makes since? im not one of those players who likes to job hop. I like what i like.

rugged flicker
#

Okay uh.. my character is just endlessly running and I don't know why. I typically use controller how do I stop this? <.<

#

Oh huh, it stopped.

acoustic copper
#

@barren sapphire Blue Mage is mostly done for side content

#

you won't be able to do any dungeons/roulettes with Blue mage unless you're going in full stack I think

#

can't do MSQ or anything with it sadly

#

@calm pasture that bug is really weird

#

fresh install might fix

#

my friend ended up having to swap out his graphics card

#

supposedly something with the graphics card can make the game run too fast or something?
I might be remembering it wrong

barren sapphire
#

that disheartins me greatly. i waited so long for this game to releases a job i like and its thrown in as a gag 😦

#

thanks for the response thought 🙂

acoustic copper
#

blue mage absolutely destroys side content

#

can't play it as a main class but if you wanna run it as a side job that's perfectly fine

#

I think it's capped at lv 60 though

#

what is it that you don't like about the other jobs though?

barren sapphire
#

i mean i like the other jobs. iv just always played BLU in 11. its like playing a paladin in the 4th edition of dnd....then the 5th edition rolls out and you find out paladin cant be played with friends. also my bigger worry is that blue mage as a class will be forgotten later. rolled under the carpet as new content is brought in

acoustic copper
#

valid concern tbh

#

I've never played 11 so I wouldn't really get what it was like before, but afaik squeenix is pretty good at keeping up with most jobs

#

at least somewhat updating them

#

monk is kinda wonk i think still but it's still manageable

#

I don't know if they'll sweep BLU under the rug or anything, but I'm sure that the amount of people playing BLU would probably say something if that happened

#

did BLU work the same way in 11?

#

where you had to go out and collect spells from mobs?

barren sapphire
#

yeah you would engage a mob. wait for the mob to cast the spell you want copied. then kill the mob after

acoustic copper
#

ah okayi see

Hey guys, I used that one tonic that allows you to edit your character. How do I edit my character once I log out?

outer plank
#

@steep pelican so long as you didnt click confirm it will just boot you back into character creation

steep pelican
#

@outer plank ik that, but how do I edit my character

outer plank
#

you used the fantsia right?

steep pelican
#

yes

outer plank
#

it should of automatically brought you to the character creation screen

steep pelican
#

well

#

well more specifically it told me to log out

#

and I did

#

So did a bug happen?

outer plank
#

right click him

#

the name

#

@steep pelican

steep pelican
#

ooooh ok thanks

ember moth
#

@barren sapphire because BLU gets non player skills they often tend to be over powered when adjusted with player stats and gear. As you know a character at the same level as a mob is usually much much stronger obviously. They are fun to collect all their abilities however it would cause a huge problem if they threw them in with everyone else.

#

For instance what if they haven't learned a bunch. Of the stronger more powerful but harder to get spells.

#

You're basically either forcing people to play with a overpowered character or one who is basically incomplete, depending on what skills they know.

#

This inherintly would force other players, not of their own free will, to deal with that. Which would be unfair for obvious reasons.

#

Blu are fun and great for side content, or collectors/ completionists ect. But just cause a myriad of problems throwing them in forced groups compared to other dps classes which are designed for it. Mob spells are obviously not designed with player use as it's top priority.

hasty musk
#

@edgy stirrup open your character menu and armory chest

edgy stirrup
#

i see

#

thank you

#

i was about to be pissed cause it didnt work

#

:d

hasty musk
#

understandable

#

keep your soul stone on at all times

#

there's zero reason to take it off ever

#

it gives you access to all your new skills and gives you a stat boost

edgy stirrup
#

i wish i had people to play with to make leveling go by quicker too lmao

#

still doesn't let me join company's either

hasty musk
#

are you playing on the free trial?

edgy stirrup
#

no i bought all of it

hasty musk
#

ok

#

yeah when you can join an FC, definitely do so

edgy stirrup
#

do you know when around I can?

hasty musk
#

I don't remember, I'd have to check

#

I'd assume it's around when you get your Grand Company

edgy stirrup
#

i did that already

#

but still didnt work

#

i think i joined some weird fire one

hasty musk
#

what do you mean by it didn't work?

edgy stirrup
#

idk it didnt show up for me

hasty musk
#

did someone invite you and then it didn't work for some reason?

edgy stirrup
#

OMG

#

i just looked at my thing

#

and i still need to finish the quest line -_-

#

it was below the main quest

fresh lodge
#

I don't think you can do that

hasty musk
#

you can change your settings for which things Tab cycling will target in the character config menu

#

you can also target party members with F1-F8 by default

barren sapphire
#

@ember moth they some how made it work in 11. But I guess that's how it is. Ill figure something out

Started DRK. First time as tank. So I have questions about the job and role.

  1. Is my only source of healing the 3rd single target combo until TBN?
  2. On packs of enemies, should I spam my one AOE ability or use single target combo for sustain?
  3. Is DRK bad for MSQ because it cannot sustain as a tank alone or deal good damage?
  4. Gladiator gets a reduction role action that I don't have. Is it vital to get that?
  5. Should I avoid AOEs or stay still to let DPS get better positionals?
  6. Which skills are interruptible?
  7. I've seen some tanks run through dungeons to gather up enemies. And some don't. Is this what they call big pulls? What is expected of me?
  8. Should I spam Flood of shadow for more damage or use it to only maintain the buff?

Interrupt
twilit arch
#

for 6

#
  1. Abyssal Drain also restores hp a bit.
  2. You should be doing your AoE combo and rotating your defensive cds properly
  3. no, drk is fine to use to msq. its designed to be completable by all jobs. use your chocobo if you're feeling like you need some healing but realistically you shouldn't need that much during it.
  4. all tanks have the same role actions so not sure which skill you're talking about
  5. you should be avoiding aoes
  6. yes, most people are going to expect to you grab as many mobs as possible. wall to walls are extremely common as you get higher in level. Though there are some leveling dungeons were you want to be a bit more mindful simply because they hurt a lot for their level
  7. you should be using it to maintain the buff/not overcap on mana
grizzled condor
#

Thanks. Now that I check, yes, all tanks get the same role actions. Ignore #4.

Regarding #6, I tried using interject before when the boss was casting. But it said interject failed. Not sure if that was due to lag. Can all casts be interjected?

forest laurel
#

no

twilit arch
#

no, like the picture shows

forest laurel
#

if the cast bar is glowing, you can interrupt it

twilit arch
#

it can only be used on castbars that are like flashing

grizzled condor
#

Ah ok thanks.

warped nest
#

If I may add additional notes to 5

#

To avoid AOE while accounting for your Dps party member's positional, you can either walk inside the boss or rotate yourself around the boss slightly

robust notch
#

@grizzled condor An important part about avoiding aoes that I can add onto. Make sure that after you've walked out of said aoe, that you try to move back to the spot you were standing at before. I see plenty of tanks that run away to avoid, and away, and away. Suddenly the enemies are 10y away from where they were originally, and all that chasing and realigning of aoes can be really tough for some jobs to manage.

#

Same thing with bosses. You want to face them north most of the time, so they face away from the arena entrance (with rare exceptions). If they do a cone aoe on you, move away from it, and then move back to the boss so he doesn't turn away from facing north. Your melee dps partners in particular will thank you for it.

Is using medica 2 on the entire party prepull in a raid a waste?

faint flare
#

Yes, because there's generally no damage during the opening

#

And you'll be starting with less mana unless you managed to tick back up

urban isle
#

Alright! Also, i heard i gotta make sure the tank has ALWAYS has regen, is that correct?

faint flare
#

Prepull medica basically achieves nothing

#

Not always always

#

But at long as they get the full effect of regen

#

Keeping regen up 24/7 on a boss is a waste of gcds that could have been DPS Spells

#

As your off globals could have healed the damage

they can

Dot critting was a big part of BRD in stormblood

dont worry, never wrong to ask questions

#

I’ve been hearing something about them changing ARR, has that taken effect yet ?

#

i been playing for a year and i am still learning

onyx kiln
#

they trimmed a lot of the post game after the last patch alongside adding flying in the ARR zones

leaden ginkgo
#

I’m really trying to get into this and drop WoW for it, so I’m trying to learn as much as possible

#

don't judge ffxiv based upon ARR

#

wait till heavensword

#

Most likely gonna skip, I like doing dungeons not so much questing, although I don’t mind it too much

#

if you skip, watch comichistorian, he made videos to catch you up on lore and story

#

I appreciate you so much you don’t even know

#

ARR is a bit of a drag but we understand where it is coming from; they imploded their servers in FFXIV 1.0 and in 2.0, they started from scratch and found their groove in heavensword and BLEW it out of the water with shadowbringer; it's sooooo good!!!

#

I’m just deciding which healer to boost now while waiting for the download and watching the YouTube channel you recommended, thanks again for the channel. Do you heal at all? If so which would you recommend

#

also combat gets faster as well as you lvl, it's not three button mashing

#

Scholar and Astro looks interesting, white mage not so much

#

in my opinion, ASTRO is very flexable

#

you can either use shields or regen

#

so best of both world

#

SCH right now is in a bad place this patch

faint flare
#

Lol

#

No

#

No its not

#

Scholar is very strong

leaden ginkgo
#

Scholar is healing with shields/ preventing dmg and passive HoT’s right ?

#

that's my opinion, but i can be wrong

faint flare
#

Only in part

#

Scholar is the king of off global healing

leaden ginkgo
#

SCH eats fairies to do big heals and damage

faint flare
#

You have a fuck ton of free healing

leaden ginkgo
#

Watching a guide on it, seems like it does good in burst healing but other than that, u have a lot of down time ?

stable hinge
#

I added fishmeal fertilizer to a flowerpot plant and its saying something about no more pomace being required

faint flare
#

Healing here isn't about constant healing

crimson wind
#

You should never have downtime

stable hinge
#

does adding pomace affect the plant in anyway, thavnairian onions specifically

crimson wind
#

Just use Broil

leaden ginkgo
#

healing is about damage \o/

faint flare
#

The damage in this game basically perfectly fits Scholar

leaden ginkgo
#

What about prolonged periods of dmg? Or is that not a thing

faint flare
#

Not a thing

leaden ginkgo
#

Gues I’m too use to healing in WoW, gotta change that mentality

faint flare
#

Or extremely rare

#

Damage is scripted.out the fucking ass

#

It will always happen the exact same

#

All the time

#

Thus you can plan around that and use cooldowns accordingly

#

Plus, you have 2 healers in raid content

leaden ginkgo
#

Big time, in that sense scholar seems like an appropriate choice

faint flare
#

(also scholar gets you Summoner ontop of it as a DPS class as they share arcanist base)

Thank you guys for linking this ! Would you recommend joining a guild ? Or waiting a bit till I get a better sense of the game

leaden ginkgo
#

most FC are casual but there are hard core FC if you are into that

#

I’ve seen raiding end game so far on twitch but is there really any dungeon end game or is it just the raids

little swift
#

Dungeons are casual content

#

Theyre meant to be accessible to everyone and easy to do

#

!faq allguide if you want guides to that stuff

#

The only thing people do with endgame dungeons that can be sorta competitive is speedrunning them

#

Gotcha. Thanks I’ll read that

little swift
#

Nah you don't need to ever read that if you want to do the content blind

faint flare
#

Dungeons mostly boil down to "dont be in the bad"

#

I just listed it in case you wanted it

#

All content is clearable blind

#

Thank you nonetheless. This is all so cool and you guys are so helpful. I’m sure I’ll get a general idea the more I play!

Are raids easily accessible or is that something I need a dedicated group for ?

#

You can pug everything

#

Though ymmv when you do higher end content

gentle lagoon
#

Just wondering... on a big pull in dungeons do healers just focus on the healing? everytime I have an inkling to dps, tank just gets shredded so fast

faint flare
#

The only thing you should really consider a static nearly mandatory is Ultimate raids, which ar specifically designed for the top 1% of players

#

Healers can very easily dps in big pulls with proper use of off global healing and the tank using cooldowns

#

If your tank is dropping fast then their gear is Garbage or not using cooldowns

#

Or both

gentle lagoon
#

so me being flamed for them getting shredded is on them?

faint flare
#

If they're taking morw damage than they should, yes

#

Always keep an eye on their cooldown usage

#

And call them out if needed

#

Healing is a group effort...its the tanks job to hold aggro and mitigate damage, its the dps (as well as your job and tanks) job to kill them fast enough before you and the tank run out of resources, and its your job to cover the damage the tank does take

manic flare
#

@gentle lagoon sounds like you have a bad tank

#

either he is not using his cooldowns properly

#

or he is undergeared

#

some dungeons, especially aurum vale, aery, etc can be very punishing if you are more than 2 dungeons behind in gear

Reapplying the dot is a waste of you do it early

There's 60 houses per ward (30 in normal then 30 in subward), and there...29? Wards per housing area and there's 4 housing area total

Was it 24 or 29 wards

faint flare
#

Idk, i think its around 29

#

I haven't looked in ages

open ember
#

Eh either way limited amount of houses

#

First come first serve and if you did see a plot available you gotta do the fancy Click The Placard until the timer goes off

scenic nimbus
#

I see. So basically i would have to wait until some person gives up their house and then try to get their plot?

faint flare
#

Basically...gotta camp the placard for a unknown amount of tine due to the invisible timer on it

Or wait for more wards/new housing area to come

I forget; we cannot wear Immortal Flames things as Maelstrom or Adders, correct?

No

#

Healer dps pretty much doesn't change while DPS jobs can lack important skills at low levels, like various buffs and stuff

For smn especially, you lack your entire burst

hidden lotus
#

Bleh. Stupid glamour restrictions.. =_=

leaden ginkgo
#

well i was lvl49 normal lvl is 55 but lvl sync

faint flare
#

Still, at lv49 you lack alot on smn, SMNs main damage is from trance and the demis which you really lack at low level

#

While healers have all their dps tools already

storm stone
#

@little swift So with 8 lvl 80 i can skip a lot of mechanic ?

@faint flare what is trance and demis

Not exactly trash, just missing its key components

#

You can skip a fair bit but first meteors are unavoidable @storm stone this is under the caveat that people actually do damage

faint flare
#

Like you have only your filler phase stuff prior to trances

#

Which are egis and dots

leaden ginkgo
#

what should my combo be rn?

storm stone
#

🤔 Now it'll be hard to find people that wants to clear it

little swift
#

Put up a pf

faint flare
#

Dots up, use egi assaults to help weave energy drain and fester, use enkindle on cooldown, spam ruin while waiting on cooldowns

leaden ginkgo
#

bc rn im just putting miasma bio on shit, using bane to spread energy siphon then fester spamming ruin 2 as a filler then fester again

faint flare
#

Use tri diaster to apply dots if you have it

leaden ginkgo
#

im lvl55 rn

storm stone
#

I can't i think, since i didn't clear it once i can't join any at least so if i create it i'm not sure if i can

faint flare
#

Avoid ruin 2 as much as possible

leaden ginkgo
#

how come?

faint flare
#

Its shit

leaden ginkgo
#

i literally dont use ruin 1 i literally just spam ruin 2

manic flare
#

ruin 2 does less damage

faint flare
#

Ruin 2 is worst than ruin 1

#

Its less damage

leaden ginkgo
#

yea but its instant cast

faint flare
#

You only use ruin 2 for moving and weaving BUT we have egi assaults for that

#

That literally doesn't matter

little swift
#

@storm stone you can still create them

faint flare
#

You're not doing more damage with ruin 2

#

You're still locked to the gcd

#

You're just frontloading lower damage

storm stone
#

really ? I'll give a try then but what if people that joins doesn't know the strat ?

faint flare
#

Every unnecessary ruin 2 is a pretty significant lost that adds up fast

little swift
#

That's something you just have to deal with saiko

manic flare

i forget....is there a time where you would use ruin II?

little swift
#

People who dont know don't know

leaden ginkgo
#

so what should i change in my current rotation

faint flare
#

Dots up, use egi assaults to help weave energy drain and fester, use enkindle on cooldown, spam ruin while waiting on cooldowns
@faint flare

storm stone
#

There is a place here where i can post some kind of ads for it right ?

faint flare
storm stone
#

If someone that never cleared the boss in extrem have to carry the other ones i can tell that the result won't be good

little swift
#

Its technically a learning party then

#

Temper your expectations

storm stone
#

I'm just expecting at least the same level of knowledge as me

leaden ginkgo
#

can someone explain why "single weave" and double weave means saw it on some youtubes video

faint flare
#

!faq weaving

#
Quick guide to weaving/clipping

Click the image, then 'Open original'

faint flare
#

Tldr: Weaving is using off global abilities while waiting on the global cooldown

#

Using 1 ogcd is a single weave, 2 is double

leaden ginkgo
#

i take i dont have any of them yet?

faint flare
#

For casters, you use instant cast spells to weave off globals

#

You have several

#

Enkindle, fester, energy drain

leaden ginkgo
#

only one i know i have is fester

#

oh right forgot ED only shared cd with energy siphon

#

didnt know about enkindle though

faint flare
#

Anything labelled ability is a off global

#

And they all have separate cooldowns

leaden ginkgo
#

btw when i hit lvl54 or well i already did but when i get to hw and get the job quest for ruin3 how does my combo changew

faint flare
#

It doesn't

#

It just upgrades ruin 1 to ruin 3

#

Nothing changes

leaden ginkgo
#

ah i see

faint flare
#

Just does more damage

leaden ginkgo
#

so basically ruin 1 but buffed more or less

faint flare
#

Yes

#

Making ruin 2 even worse to use

leaden ginkgo
faint flare
#

Yes

#

Very

#

Especially in large pulls

#

Outburst is better at 3+ targets

#

If you're not using aoes, you're going to be easily out dpsed on trash

leaden ginkgo
#

should i edit my hotbar to make anything easier? i swapped bio for ruin 2 and ruin for ruin 2 {ruin 2 was in my first spot then put it to 2nd hotbar since not as good

little swift
#

Whichever is more cpmfy

faint flare
#

^

little swift
#

Hotbar placement is largely personal preference

leaden ginkgo
#

how often do i use outburst, like when does ruin 2 become useful

#

like as in how often will i be using it

faint flare
#

Also important note on outburst, it upgrade during direbird trance

#

Outburst is better when there's 3+ targets

#

Whenever there is 3 or more targets

#

Use outburst

leaden ginkgo
faint flare
#

Ruin 2 will eventually get upgraded to Ruin 4 when you have Further ruin stacks

#

Which you need to carefully manage

#

You aim to never use Ruin 2 itself if you can help it

#

You priotise egi assaults and ruin 4 for moving and weaving skills

#

Ruin 2 is your last resort for moving and weaving skills

leaden ginkgo
#

oh wait @faint flare forgot to ask

#

doesnt ruin1/3 become instant anyways when you get dreadworm trance

#

wyrm*

#

asking because that effect at the top

manic flare
#

what item level should i be to gather effectively in stormblood areas?

gritty oracle
#

will we have new crafter gear in 5.4 or will we have to craft the 510 gear with 490? ugh

twilit arch
#

very very unlikely we are getting new crafter gear in 5.4

#

if anything it will likely be either white scrip accessories or accessories + augmented professional gear

#

but yes, pentamelded aesthete is the expected gear to have for new crafted combat gear

Retainer Guide

What is a retainer?
A retainer is a private NPC that will act as a personal bank for the player, holding up to 175 different items, that can be summoned to any of the Summoning Bells around the world. Retainers also act as your means to sell on the Market Board.

How to unlock a retainer
First, you must complete the quest The Scions of the Seventh Dawn then go to speak to any of the Retainer Vocates located in the market district of any of the major cities.

What are Retainer Ventures?
Ventures are the means to send out your retainers on missions to bring back items for you and can be unlocked by completing the quest 'An Ill-conceived Venture' (Ul’Dahn), (Gridania), (Limsa Lominsa)

Is there a place where you can ask question about the story?

@quasi harness Seems to not have his class quests (THM/BLM) come up at all now for some reason- like he's done facing your demons, but the other quests ain't coming up he's lv34 aswell

how far into msq is he

as blackmage lvl 50, when is it worth doing aoe spells?

there's probably a sam one in there somewhere

thank you 🙂

#

@leaden ginkgo yes they do. All spells other than Res are instant under Dreadwyrm

short sparrow
#

So I finally(!!!) made it to Stormblood. Will it take me long to unlock flying in the first area so I can use that for FATE farming?

twilit arch
#

the first two zones don't let you unlock flying until like 66/67~

#

Since they have lower halves that aren't accessible until then

short sparrow
#

I think you mean.... 66/67?

twilit arch
#

yaeh

short sparrow
#

No?

twilit arch
#

sorry

short sparrow
#

Ahh OK.

#

Thank you.

#

Fortunately I'm ludicrously overlevelled for the MSQ.

#

Sucks a bit though, I was hoping to get those Yokai weapons real quick.

faint flare
#

The first zone you'll be fully able to fly in is Ruby sea when you get there and after doing the story and currents

twilit arch
#

the first zone you can unlock flying in, you get to relatively quickly

#

around 61/62~

short sparrow
#

And as I understand, any SB zone is good for the Yokai...

twilit arch
#

yep

short sparrow
#

The two which need SB that is.

faint flare
#

Its always a pattern of "you'll return to the first two areas you go to later"

short sparrow
#

Yeah, I was just thinking of the Sea of Clouds doing the same trick.

faint flare
#

Yep. The happens in stormblood and Shadowbringers

short sparrow
#

I don't remember there being a second zone in HW that did it, but that doesn't mean there wasn't one.

faint flare
#

You techincally go to Falcons nest area briefly then go back

#

When you're helping the brothers

short sparrow
#

It's amazing how I've already forgotten that 😓

manic flare
#

what city has the lowest taxes for MB?

leaden ginkgo
faint flare
#

Macros

#

And ascii art

twilit arch
#

talk to the retainer vocate to see which city has lowest taxes, as it rotates @manic flare

manic flare
#

@twilit arch does it make huge ddifference?

#

like would one city have 10% and another have 30%?

leaden ginkgo
#

gg? first time : o

faint flare
#

Thats LotA

#

24mans are casual as hell

#

And crystal tower itself is face roll as hell

twilit arch
#

its a seller tax

#

so like unless you're someone who really really cares about how much gil you're making

#

honestly not worth changing your retainers location for imo

manic flare
#

@twilit arch ok i was just wondering

#

thanks

#

are potions generally in demand by people in endgame?

faint flare
#

Yes

#

Stat pots

gritty oracle
#

Is it worth gil-wise to buy grade 7 dark matter with gil, or should I buy it with seals?

@manic flare in terms of tax difference the deviation is usually like 1-5%

what is the mount that looks like a sofa chair?

#

Why can’t I wear a certain glamour plate item? It’s for machinist and the glamour I’m using is for machinest as@well but it’s not assigning it has a red x to it why is dat?

faint flare

Is the gear you're wearing lower level than the glamour

tulip skiff
#

Oh yeah I think it is

faint flare
#

Then there you go

#

Glamour needs to be lower level than your equipment

tulip skiff
#

oh ok got it

manic flare
#

is there a way u can craft replica versions of gear so every class can wear them?

faint flare
#

No

manic flare
#

i occasionally see replica items on marketboard

faint flare
#

Replicas are usually just dyeable versions of old gear

gloomy ice
#

Sky Pirate and Sky Rat sets are the only ones with universal replicas.

#

Allagan/High Allagan/Dreadwyrm replica sets are still class locked.

Could be that you haven't gathered it yet?

#

I finished HW and Dragonsong War using the buy-for-gil gear from the vendor in Foundation. Now I'm doing SB and I'm level 66 I feel uncomfortably fragile. Is it worth buying Shire gear?

onyx kiln
#

why is this the one item that wants to destroy itself if i store it?

#

the mini aetheryte

gloomy ice
#

Oversight perhaps? They sort of don't expect anyone to move those probably, since you won't be able to teleport directly to your house if it's removed.

faint flare
#

Because its one of the items that gets destroyed if picked up

#

Like food

onyx kiln
#

oh, i always assumed i always could teleport right to my house no matter what

gloomy ice
#

@short sparrow HQ white gear at level 66 is better than Shire. The main quests should provide you with such gear as you progress. But, yeah, Shire gear should patch any holes you have atm.

faint flare
#

Nope

#

You need the aetheryte

#

To tp

onyx kiln
#

good to know

gusty comet
#

Curiosity question, are the 3 people that need to sign the FC charter required to join the FC and stay until all 3 signatures are gotten or do I just need to find 3 randoms to sign?

#

Doesnt sound like they are actually invited to the FC since its not formed until all 3 are gotten

obsidian patio
#

@short sparrow as a general word of caution, but NQ vendor/crafted gear starts being super weak past level 60. Ideally you always want to be using HQ crafted gear, tomestone gear, or dungeon gear now.

gusty comet
#

poetic tomestone gear is dead simple to get at lvl 50

I assume this is an effort in vain, but is there any indication of whether higher GC ranks will be released and if our Squadrons will gain access to Jobs?

Is soul of the creator (savage) soloable?

@gusty comet They are not required to stay once you establish the FC.

@hidden lotus Yoshida has gone on record that the current rank cap is the last for the foreseeable future as they want to overhaul the entire GC system before adding more.

@mossy tartan no due to judgement crystals

Bleeeh! Any ETA on that overhaul?

thank you ! ill just spam out on a limb then! are the event games taht can be bought with mgp able to be bought after the event? i cant seem to find it before the event started

last question i promise

faint flare

Yes, the campaign vendor guy is selling then at the discounted price

frank wigeon
#

thank you !!!

gloomy ice
#

@heady knot There isn't really anything in game like that. If you mean optional services like extra retainers and such, that's up to you. It's possible to get by with the two free retainers. Extras aren't all that necessary unless you hoard materials and stuff. Other services, like the companion app subscription, also falls into this category. Getting an extra saddlebag is nice but not really required.

boreal storm

Bought from scrip exchange, believe it’s the same for SB and SHB

twilit arch

regional folklore is for shb nodes

er well regional folklore tokens are shb nodes

the exchange for the tome itself is at the appropriate regions' end-game hub. HW regions are in Idyllshire/ishgard, SB in Rhalg'rs/kugane, and ShB in Eulmore

faint flare

Oh the dashes

fallen niche
#

Yeah.

gleaming mist
#

A few questions

#

are your tanks properly separating/bringing the bosses together before dice?

faint flare
#

Depending on the colour they get, they need to stay apart or close together

gleaming mist
#

because the mechanic becomes impossible if they are tethered

fallen niche
#

Yeah

#

Tanks are doing that.

gleaming mist
#

alright

fallen niche
#

I feel as if mainly people don't exactly know where to go.

gleaming mist
#

basically, odds go across the arena, evens stay on the same side

fallen niche
#

Yeah.

gleaming mist
#

the damage done by the dashes is proximity based

fallen niche
#

lower numbers closer to the eye, right?

gleaming mist
#

what do you mean

fallen niche
#

The lower numbers go closer to the eye, then when they've been dashed, they get out of the blast zone.

gleaming mist
#

you can just have the number that gets dashed next stand in front of their partner

#

so like, you have 1 stand on the cardinal, take their dash, then they move back

#

3 moves to where 1 was standing

#

2 stands in front of 4, then they move behind them after they take their dash

fallen niche
#

ahhhh

gleaming mist
#

you should also separate the numbers based on colors

#

so you can have the people attacking omega-m stand on the cardinal, and the people attacking omega-f stand beside the omega-m group

#

with some distance between them so they don't get clipped by dashes

hardy gazelle
#

How can you tell whats magical, physical or unaspected damage from enemies

If it looks and sounds magical, probably is

If it looks physical and sounds physical, probably is

primal dagger
#

Tank I guess I should say

#

Does it always depend on level anyway?

twilit arch
#

the only real notable levels with "best" items to get are 50/60/70/80. 50 is the ironworks gear, 60 is shire, and 70 is scaevan. 80 is going vary since we're not on the final raid tier yet

#

outside of those, use whatever you've got from msq/dungeons

#

50-70 sets are gotten with poetics

primal dagger
#

msq?

remote lintel
#

main story quests

#

the "best" gear at lvl 80 works differently since theres multiple gear sets and substats actually matter at that point
