iirc it's due to Echo shenanagains
they talked about iceheart before
what quest are you on
it shouldnt be your first time seeing her iirc
Quest Name is Path of the Righteous.
Like I've seen "Ice Heart" mentioned multiple times and had her show up in 1 cinematic.
But she talks about herself and me like we've met.
She says that because she knows you've been told about her
release date for 5.4 yet?
Right, ok that makes lot more sense. I thought I may have missed a few side quests that involved her or something.
Thanks.
early dec
bruh still early dec
understandable
it wasnt meant to be
but i wanna annoy people who visit my home 
How do I get my minion out?
It says to use the whistle but I cant find it
Just found it xD
Which are the popular maps people use nowadays and where can I get it as a fisher?
So I am working on powering this up, is this the pretty much the only weapon I'm gonna have except for ultima?
Ironworks weapon
Is better and far less grindy
Costs poetics in Mor dhona or sundry splenders in main cities
Do they do the glowy thing? The reason I put any effort in this at all is because it has lights.
Old relic weapons are purely glamour
No
But ironworks have a mechanical sheathe/unsheathe animation
You can buy a bunch of glowy weapons off the market board
They’re the crafted primal weapons

Can you deliver crafters collectibles in the christarium?
A scrip exchange unlocks after completing one Facet quest line iirc but I don't believe there's a delivery NPC
There might be one near the leve npc
I'm at the leve NPC rn. Just an exchange here. 😅
Thanks!!! So no collectible npc?
no, you'll have to go to eulmore
Got it, thanks!
What’s the mist important spell I need to get to do damage tI bosses in dungeons? Taking to long to kill them for blue mage
whats the best way to farm for phantasmagoria tomestones (if there is any) besides daily roulettes?
thanks!
okay
Be it another class, feature, dungeons etc
@tulip skiff basically a lot of the primal spells as they’re OGCDs
Namely Ifrit/Ramuh/Shiva/Ravana/Sophia
Song of Torment, or whatever the 30 second DoT is called, is another good damage spell
Can also cheese some bosses with the instant kill spells
Tail screw, lvl 5 death, missile etc
@obsidian patio I can kill them on normal and still get the spell it don’t have to be on hard or extrem?
Only ifrit drops on normal
If they use the spell on the lower difficulties then yes
Shiva has to be on extreme. The rest can get it on hard iirc
Only Shiva needs to be extreme for the spells I listed
Also Garuda in terms of the other primals I didn’t list
Get a group in PF
you're better off doing it synced with pf
that way you're not relying on rng to learnt he spell
Ah ok true
Synced is 100% drop chance
How do you play Dark Knight? I just started and failed the intro duty
(current hot bar)
you're missing the final button in your single target combo
at least in the order of your skills
hard slash > siphon strike > souleater
yeah i fixed that
is the order of your combo
make sure you're reading the npc text in the solo instance
you're not taking in too much of the darkness at once
Do your 1-2-3 combo, rotate defensive cooldowns
!faq tankguide
Do you have a Dark Knight guide for someone who's conception of the game thus far is "Stand 10 feet away and shoot Fire III until it dies"
I purchased a story skip for an alt and I was supposed to get an item in game I am assuming? to facilitate the skip, but, I don't see where I can find it.
Just spam your combo
Cause that guide made little sense
Drk only gets 1 combo ever
and all the other moves?
Unleash is your aoe
Unmend is a ranged attack
Rampart, reprisal are defensive cooldowns...you take less damage while these up
Grit is youe tank stance, you keep this on always
Low blow stuns, not used super often..
Interject is used on Pulsating cast bars
So how does combat work? Grit + Defensives, then combo forever?
Not doing those yet or possibly ever as a DRK
tank is 2+ mobs
^
Well yeah
Weave your defensive cooldowns one by one while doing your aoe or single target combo
@hazy shadow it appears in your mailbox
It wasn't there originally, but turns out it has a slight delay. All good now.
all tanks get a 123 combo, ranged attack, aoe attacks, defensives, and gap closer
and tank stance
just put on your tank stance and aoe mobs
So just hit 58 on a char... should I buy new gear or wait it out til 60?
when you hit 60 you can use tomes to purchas shire gear from idyllshire and that will usually be good enough until the mid 60s
msq should give you gear
!faq altlvlguide
boy i wish i knew that existed when i decided to make a blm, nin, and mnk a week ago
Step 1 Make a friend.
Okay this guide is impossible
and if I don't feel comfortable running dungeons because i literally started playing DRK like 10 minutes ago?
Palace of the dead
well they cant do the first 3 since they're level 30
if youre that uncomfortable for it try running one of the starter dungeons (sastasha, tamtara, the mine one) just to get a feel for the role
even if youre a bad tank the worst thing that could happen is you take longer than usual to complete it
Tank is lowkey the easiest role
Put stance on > hit mobs > use defensive cooldowns one by one
If you do the last set, you're better than 80% of tanks already
There's people at cap with alot of gear who dont use defensive cooldowns
don't stack all of them at once, cycle them
i only started playing a few months back but apparently tanking used to be more complex, but nowadays its just turn on tank stance and dont die
and spam aoe i suppose
tanking honestly wasn't anymore complex back then
Aggro used to be a thing you keep in mind nut yeah
it had more individual responsibility from the rest of the jobs as well
but thats it
my natural instinct is to run away from everything, unless tank is pulling half the dungeon to the far side of the continent
Yea other jobs had aggro tools to help
Stand near the healer at least
^
Not that far, but not in the face of the enemies/bosses so I don't die
okay, so, uh, just go against your natural instinct i guess. i suppose youre used to playing BLM where you kinda die in a few hits, but a tank wont go down that quickly, especially if your healer is at least semi competent
because i'm squishy
well thats the tanks job
Tanks get tank privilege
to turn the boss away from you
You get to eat so much damage and not die
tanks get natural damage reduction iirc , better armor stats, and a lot of abilities to boost survivability
Cause the healer is baby sitting you and you're defensive as hell
Can screw up mechanics and chug along
thats why i suggest practicing with the early dungeons since they dont really have mechanics to mess up
Until boss decides to kill me for seemingly no reason.
I assume I should save Rampart for the boss?
also try not to stand in aoe
No
no
even as a tank that can be pretty bad
you dont save cooldowns
Trash does way more damage
use it
Than bosses
I mean make sure its off cooldown when boss appears
No
use them
ok
also trash doesnt do that many aoes
so you could stand in the middle of them and they should be attacking the tank
when youre dps
i suppose the only issue with bosses would be tank busters and stuff but thats not an issue until way down the line
heck i just started SB and i still dont see too many of them
most bosses have a tb
Dungeon tank busters dont even hit that hard
Maybe 1/4 to 1/3rd
You kinda have to havr a afk healer to die to bosses
Or purposely eatting aoes
or mechanics but thats something every role has to deal with
With tanks generally simplier rotation, you can more or less turn your brain off in that department to focus on everything else, like what thr boss is doing and your defensives
could someone link me to the where to spend poetics guide?
i cannot for the life of me remember where it is
!faq poetics
thank you!

How do I get to the higher plots in a ward in the Goblet?
I can only see plots 1 - 30
teleport
Use the aethernet
One of the options should tp you to the mirrored map
No,not mirroed. Rotated
Teleport to anything labeled subdivision
got it, thanks!!
so what exactly does the Collectables thing do?
You mean for gatherer/crafter?
yes

Collectables are 'fake' items in that you can't use them normally, instead you turn them in for scrips at the scrip exchange in every major settlement, the higher collectability you get them to (Collectability score replaces the quality meter) the more scrips you earn. Turn ins also give pretty good experience.
The scrips are used for Master recipe books, some materiels, and levelling gear
Where do I find said collectables (Miner)
does anyone know any late game shields with a cross on it?
for pld
sort of like thorvaens's purpose or whatever it's called, but more intricate
what's the expected ilvl requirement for 5.4?
"requirement"? for savage raids?
for story progression
for just story 480 or higher wouldn't be unreasonable
hero's gauntlet currently requires 460
thx @sour ruin
SoS normal requires 465
How to not die from the doom section from || Hades EX ||
why do they make raiding gear obsolete QQ

Because gear treadmill
yeah but the logical step would be if next entry level gear would be a bit lower than previous tier raiding gear
so theres actually a point to clear etc
i mean i still do it for fun
but its weird
they dont treat raiders very well
Raid gear when the next expansion hits lasts for 5 levels
Its just the tiers inbetween it gets obsolete on next patch
Plus BiS raid gear gets you into the first two floors of the next savage tier minimum
With the last 2 floors needing higher ilvl
can the same piece of gear be in multiple gear sets at once?
Yes
Thx
but switching glamour plates on it wont work outside of cities
like if its linked to 2 diff plates
i was just asking cause i really should sell excess gear from job quests
how's the grind in FF14? Like for gear, XP, and armor?
I recently just played my first instanced area
there is none unless you want there to be
ok. I usually like grindy games but the game does look appealing
Manually grinding for the Stardust Rod for instance
you only really "grind" exp for alt classes
Timegated at max level. Weekly resets for gear. Daily reset for alt job exp farming
there are relic weapons that are the real grind
You cant burn out and cant grind
Unless you have multiple characters
Then thats just asking for it.
I know that MMO style combat...is questionable at best but I tried a lot more action rpgs like dark souls and diablo
there's nothing wrong with the combat.
This has a 90s/00s style tab targeting combat typical of older MMOs
is gardening a thing if you own a house?
yes
Does the "penalty count" when missing a queue pop just refer to the 30 minute until you can register again?
Yup
It resets once you clear a duty sucessfully
Get locked out longer if you repeatedly miss queues
longer than 30 mins?
Alrighty, half the time I forget I'm queued and walk away 😄
Yea it happens..
What does “TEA BiS” mean? Specifically the former’s meaning
TEA being The Epic of Alexander, An ultimate fight
TEA has a very strict item level sync, so using gear right at or just below the sync lets you make use of materia slots
So stuff like Augmented Deepshadow, Eden Grace Savage gear, and the Heroes Gauntlet stuff.
so the BiS is attributed to TEA itself, I see. Thank you
Yep
can you do a bunch of beast tribe quests in same day?
like say you do one beast tribe daily then another etc.
I know they can't contradict but I mean in succession

Yes
3 per tribe. 12 total.
Per day
Except ARR tribes
They have 3 per level range iirc
Hey what is the best lvl 60 dungeon to do?
For what ?exp?
I am levelling healer so I want to just do thedungeons as they come yeah
but so many 60 ones
Because they are levelcap dungeons so they dont have good exp rewards.
In thay case do 61
Sirensong
N00b ocean fishing question. Does "registration for new crew members no longer accepted" mean the next "trip" is full or just the current one is full/finished?
Current
Only opens 5 minutes before next expedition iirc

Np. Haha
thanks
Is there a Link where I can see a SMN’s rotation?
!faq smnguide
Fates give seals iirc
Thank you!
I think you can run the msq dungeon for poetics?
no, only phantas and allegory
Isnt it like 100-200 or smth
I did my msq roulette already]
I mean the actual dungeon not the roulette
especially since
I mean the actual dungeon not the roulette
@split isle ew no lol
what do I do with the friendship circlet?
It's not storable in the armoire, it's not dyable so I prolly won't use it as a glam, I don't need it unless a new class comes out that starts lvl 1
if ive done the roulette will i still get poetics?
no
only the first time bonus, if anyone is new to the duty
just do literally any 50/60/70 dungeon
like people are spamming anti tower
for memories
You wont get the roulette bonus but if the dungeon gives poetics you can spam as much as you want
wouldn't doing a single fate be way faster than completing a dungeon?
Fates dont give poetics
Dump it in chocobo saddlebag and forget about it.
Beast tribe also gives poetics iirc
ok im just going to spam dungeon
I am cleaning up my inventory and need every space cuz I can't afford more retainers
they dont
Could try mailing to yourself too.
does mail expire?
Not that i know of.
I doubt I'll be able to, but I'll try
is there a way to edit house tentant access before granting permission?
also, do they get a notification when they become tenants?
A dumb question if I buy the starter edition do I need to download any other games or can I just buy dlcs ?
just dlc
So the starter edition is just the whole game
no
For instance I can just buy dlcs and they will be on the starter edition
the starter edition is the base game and heavensward
Will the dlcs be added to the starter edition is what I'm trying to say
They go along with it
Lol I was just asking bc those dlcs was like 50gbs
are all raids under "high-end duty" not item level sync?
if raid gear isn't pentameldable, would that mean crafted gear would be on par with it if pentamelded?
and is summoner a class in this game
High end duty tab is the current tier of content so no. Except Ultimates which do sync you
Yes summoner is
Arcanist > Summoner
@leaden ginkgo no because the raiding gear has 20 ilv on it and penta melding wont come close to bridging the substat difference
Pentamelded crafter gear is roughly maybe equal to unupgraded tome gear
the latest expansion
the latest expansion
Is that the newest dlc?
you bring the shadow
Ah ok
thats the plot
Welp now I wait for my slow ass internet to download this
I got low ping but only 10mbps lmao
G'day, wondering what data centre / server Australians are playing on?
tonberry or kujata on the JP data center
You can choose another server if you don't care about bad ping though
Ok, making a character now and tonberry says not accepting new players so I'll go Kujata I guess ty
I'm not sure how the premium eternal bonding plans work, can one person foot the entire $40 for the platinum or do both have to pay
one person can pay if they buy it, trade it in game to the other person, then buy it again for themselves
These are just the rewards aren't they
I mean what specifically do they trade to the other player
yes
I just did my first and I didnt notice anything out of the norm
the lower level ones usually have the same model as the non dungeon versions
but they are different
Ah, gotcha. Probably just nothing too noticeable with it being a low lvl dungeon
what’s the fastest way to farm tome of phanta..sth? these lv80 dungeons arent fast at all ...
can you rotate garden patch without losing crops?
hunt trains
you should be able to @leaden ginkgo because you can store it in the storage as well
but do I lose the seeds that are currently planted/growing?

Afaik haven't noticed that happening
can a friend breed chocobos on my stable if he's a tenant?
So next tier I want to get omnitank BiS but also get BiS for Samurai and WHM/AST
would it be a realistic goal to get all of their weapons
luck is ofc a factor
Does Aspected Benefic stack with Aspected Helios?
it should
I only see it mentioning not stacking with Galvanize
and I use both usually so wanted to double check if I'm wasting mana
Alright, the Diurnal one says "effect can't be stacked" does that mean with itself?
i believe so
not like you ever should be stacking aspected helios and benefic
is there a site to look up markboard prices across a datacenter in real-time?
no
Maybe it gives more regen or more shield if I stack them idk
use the !market command in #kupo-bot-spam
that's not real time, Cerberus
stacking them isnt worth it and wastes GCDs
So, if I'm ignoring def... are these ones on the right better? (please say yes cause the ones on the left are hideous)
I don't really have boots I prefer to the left currently, that's why I'm lookin to buy 😄
please just buy shire
I will once I have poetics to do so
also just use glamour prisms lol
well the right ones were cheap, and recommended put those on instead, so we're good for now
What determines if a Dungeon gives poetics? Do they all start giving some and the more you run it they go down to nothing?
Or is it when they hit level 60 they give poetics?
level cap dungeons
How can I make this? There is no place
you get bonus poetics if its someones first time doing it
Well like I just ran Great Gubal Library (59), and now that I look it doesn't have Poetics listed as a reward.. but the next dungeon (Aetherochemical gives 150 poetics (60)) ...and Neverreap (also lvl 60) gives 20
Khell you should just be able to stand there and emote to get the point
aetherochemical is a long dungeon
gotcha
Khell you should just be able to stand there and emote to get the point
@hasty musk I cant unmount there, my chocobo keeps flying
you can't unmount on any part of the platform?
So the extra poetics make up for there being 0 chests
you can't unmount on any part of the platform?
@hasty musk I cant
you might need to jump there from somewhere else then
What're you trying to do? That's not a current? Unless it's later in the game than I am and they change appearance (sorry I'm dumb :D)
its a viewpoint thing
What're you trying to do? That's not a current? Unless it's later in the game than I am and they change appearance (sorry I'm dumb :D)
@oblique trellis Sightseeing Log
Wait, they have markers for those?
yes
yes
Yes
The whole 1 that I've done didn't have one lol
Heavensward onwards they do
Falling from the upper place didnt work
On 11/12 ~12:00 PM, I got a 3 day suspension. I am a little confused about how this suspension system works; the suspension starts 12:00AM 11/13, so that means I'm off the hook on 11/16 at 12:00AM right? If that's the case, then I should be unsuspended right now but I'm not. Just want some clarification.
unless my brain is small and my math is wrong

12 AM in what timezone
CST
Jumping form a far away zone worked, lol, so from now on all the sightseeing log places are some kind of puzzle? I'd like that, but is it?
ohh does it operate in PST? so im unbanned at 2am cst?
ff14 uses PST iirc
ok thanks for the clarification
Do people wipe a lot in normal raids when they get released?
I'd imagine so
Usually
Because no one knows wtf is going on
Though usually SE is decent with telegraphing and visualising certain mechanics so people who know how to identify things can pick it up quick
Just question everything whenever you do anything blind
Re: The Zodiac Relic Novus upgrade -- specifically for PLD: Do I need to have the sword and shield equipped to get Alexandrite from FATEs? or can it just be one or the other?

Were Delivery Mogles in everyplace since 2.0? Its weird that in Camp Cloudtop some NPC say they haven't seen a moggle in their lifetime when a Delivery Mogle is 10 steps from them.
Heavensward is 3.0 btw
Heavensward is 3.0 btw
@half kraken Yes, but I want to know if they were here since the beggining XD
Maybe delivery moogles won't show up in camp cloudtop until you finish the HW msq
moogles can make themselves invisible
or that guy has never had mail sent to him ever in his life
moogles can make themselves invisible
@remote lintel Invisible for everyone, of can they choose who sees them? That could explain how I can see them but not npcs.
they can choose who sees them
in the gridania intro scene moogles come to you but the guy sitting next to you doesnt see them
Thanks. I dropped the game for some years and I skipped a lot of text, I'll consider replaying the beginning for the things I missed.
in the gridania intro scene moogles come to you but the guy sitting next to you doesnt see them
there's much more shenanigans going on there because he also doesn't notice the one moogle drinking all his booze right in front of him
Can I do New Game + and anytime return to the normal game?
yes
And then can I return to were I left of in NG+ ?
yes
GREAT, Thanks. That's really an exccelent new for me
any idea why I can't launch the game more than twice?
@rare comet not really the place for that, you'll just have to try queuing some other time if you can't get it now
gotcha, ty!
Anyone have a ryzen 5 5600x?
ye
How does ffxiv run with it
good, going from 3600, i go from 30-35fps in limsa to 60~ or so
: o
and in busy stuff like hunt trains i get a consistent 60
What graphics card
We pretty much got the same
I’m at 1440p with a Rx 5700xt
Waiting on the bios update
yeah that was my old build, until my 5700xt kept crashing and it was a nightmare so i sold it and bought a 2070s

Asking for a friend since I have no clue myself, if you have a quest that unlocks and requires completion of a dungeon but abandon the quest, will you still have access to the dungeon?

@silk summit if you unlock the dungeon before you abandon it, yes
How many dungeon runs does it take to level 70 to 80 with armory bonus?
Armory bonus?
Any pallys in here post 70?
@cedar compass I want to say around 7-8 dungeons per 2 level, give or take 1 dungeon
yeah it's about 3 runs for an odd level and 4 runs for an even level
!faq amouryexp @hazy shadow
Oops
@oblique trellis Ask your question so people can answer
!faq armouryexp
'How do I get the bonus experience from the Armoury?'
As long as you're playing a Disciple of War or a Disciple of Magic class that's a lower level than your highest level class then you're able to benefit from the bonus experience. You do not need to have a class at level 80 for the bonus to be active.
'How much is the bonus experience?'
You get +100% experience from levels 1 to 69, which then reduces to +50% for level 70 to 79. The difference in level between your current class and highest class does not change the amount of experience you get.
Just wondering what level I get my wings
Lvl 70 Job Quest
Ooh alright, new goal
is there any difference in drop in terms of solo undersizing vs duty finding lv 70 dungeons?
like if i want to farm certain equipment for my tank
will i have more chance getting it solo or through duty finder?
cause it's faster to finish with duty finder 😂
if i finish it solo, will the chance of getting that equipment increases?
ok ty ty
is that the token? don't think so 🤔
Ah nah the book
this one
seiryu's codex is market prohibited, so no
seiryu's sanctified codex (the crafted one) can be traded and sold on mb
oo it's from the token hehe
yeh, then not possible
but pretty sure you can still run those undersized, drops are still interesting
I'm low level in Craft and Gathering, so I was thinking on relying on my friend to craft the book for me
sometimes i see them in wondrous trails too
if you want the glowy book, yes it is tradeable
the one you link is the non glowy one
try desynthesizing them for scale
oo you want to sell the book? 😂
well otherwise keep farming it until you get a scale
not possible, lol
N O
check out marketboard if you want to know if it's tradable or not although usually it says with big letters at the top
oo there's a seiryu one 😂 check out endless expanse codex
should be cheaper
since blue is your colour
Is there a way to make attacks in ffxiv not automatically change your direction?
I tend to screw myself attacking while running away
how do i not feel forced to rush myself to endgame or get good? ive played the game before and i just wanted to hit endgame and played a lot and it just burned me out super quick, since story takes so long. i kinda just wanna take it slow now and enjoy the story and play it to relax and distract myself from things. but i think i would struggle a lot.
how do i change this?
mhh- i mean its not really abt how much time i spend
but i just wanna like take my time with the things i do
idk- i mean idek what answer i expect
from people
well no- i mean..
i dont know.
i usually in mmos just wanna get to endgame.
i wanna make progress and get the best gear.
and i know in max level u just grind for higher ilvl
so that means story is kinda just to get to the endgame and has no other purpose than basics + story ;u;
idk- am stupid
i thought burnout is because you spent too much time on it
you are too stressed out cause you think it's your job
that's why i mention limit your game time 😂
mhh-
What I do for having more enjoyment and do better at taking my time, is to do whatever I want to do, if I wanna level crafters one day, I do that, If I wanna advance msq other day, I do that.
And also, I do all side quests and never skip dialogs, there is SO GOOD plot in side quests, that sometimes it feels more in quality and quantity than the main plot
Basically msq is a big lead up to helping you to learn your class.
mhhh
It does kind of take a bit of a incline towards the last expansion difficulty wise with some dungeons but it realistically isn't anything you haven't encountered before in other dungeons mechanics wise.
I see o:
I mean- it's just- how do I not feel anxious about having to hit endgame asap?
I mean- It's just this certain view I have on mmorpgs of wanting to reach the end.
It's stupid..
There are catch up mechanics in the game. So, basically the biggest gate is msq which is really just a time sink.
But, if you enjoy the story, enjoy it while you can.
As far as the anxiety, I wouldn't worry about meeting end game or it's reqs. We're nearing another content addition in December, so you do have time depending on where you are.
I felt more at ease once I finish endgame
that way I dont have to worry about catching up
for now
now I just take my leisure, and watch myself get beaten by EX Trials
😂
These patches from what I understand last a good few months, and given into account the practice you put into learning your class while leveling and going through msq, you should have an idea of how to play. The hard part just comes with optimization and learning the finer nuances.
Also can I ask- when do the preffered servers change?
And I heard abt when I hit lv 30 I get 15 days of play time?
Do i get that bc of the preffered server or bc I got this 4 free days playtime?
You should still keep your road to seventy even if preferred change, I believe. As long as you're still in that time window.
Ya ofcourse-
I just..
How much time do I have to hit 30?
I want the free 15 days.
My free thing runs out in 2 days.
;-;
I'm not sure about the free play time. I remember getting something like that myself vaguely but I can't rightly confirm.
preferred worlds only really change during significant patches/maintenance
So this means
so the nearest one would be expected probably december 8th
if I hit 30 in next 2 days
I'll get 1 mil gil + 15 free days?
I just don't wanna buy the month yet- if I can get the 15 free days.
But I won't try to go fast..
But take my time!
no, the 1mil gil is only for new worlds, and there are no new worlds atm
Oh-
you'll get the 15 days
You'll find you get over leveled really easily with road to seventy
But that's normal and there are work around to optimizing that exp buff
idk 20-30 hours to hit 30.
ok wait
thats not true
maybe 10..
;-;
Ya~ I have the xp gear.
from collector edition.

So are there currently no recipes for culinarian under "Other Master Recipes?"
can i equip 2 aug neoish rings of the same kind?
Yes, they are not unique
Why do players ask to “bring macro” in PF?
Need a bit more information on that. What was the duty that the PF was for?
E6s
Usually its because they don't have their own macro set up for the fight
And would like someone else to bring one
A macro to show positioning and such for mechanics
Ahh, so, a macro that provides tips and such?
One thar assigns positions for strats and mechanics
I see
Not tips
Party organisation
As opposed to wasting time manually assigning a position to each person for each mech
Positions are assigned via macro and you call out which you want
Thats about it really
I see, is it popular? I’d like to view a clear that utilizes such macro
Any savage EU raiders that post videos / streams of clears that I should know about?
The clear itself isn't relevant here
The macro is not used during the fight
It is simply a method of assigning positions for mechanics before the fight
Planning ahead of time
Okay
Does anyone know how to use a weapon attack 😂
I have no idea what you mean
Like I have a wand equipped, can I use it to attack or do I need to use powers?
Use skills
Unsheathe weapon with z and then go up to an enemy and then use a skill
Push button
You don't wail the weapon around
You can auto attack with a wand
I mean you can
But it's weak
Does it shoot out little bolts?
Right-click the enemy
No
You just whack them limply with the stick
It’s negligible and irrelevant
Zato is probably thinking stuff like basic attacks like Diablo
Everyone, including melee, and archers, and swordsman, etc
All uses weapon skills, spells, and abilities
They don’t matter in the slightest
I came from DCUO we could use weapon attacks to regen power while healing but nothing like that here 😂 thanks for confirming guys x
Autos only matter on noncasters
They matter for physical classes but they’re not something you have to think about
Yeah, not that kind of game
But your character will do that if you're in range
Oki thank u guys 🙏
Another random question
The monthly subscription
On ps4 do I buy it on the psn store or is the game have it's own site to buy it on?
So psn has nothing to do with it
PSN is to buy game only
Bc my card doesn't work on psn for some reason anymore
Side note, you don't need PS+ to play XIV
Yes ik
Just bringing it up, just in case XD
So when I get the game it will tell me how to buy the subscription
You will be asked to make an account
This is used to register your copy of the game
And then for managing your subscription
Yes, 30 days subscription included in Starter Edition

in base game areas, finish the base game story at level 50, for expansion areas you need to collect aether currents from all over the zone plus some sidequests
Ah ok thx
Another question
I play au ra. And Head cosmetics look a bit bad on it imo.
For example if I wanna use the cosmetic succubus horns. Can I make them the same color as my real horn colors?
Sry lol. I just woke up and my English is very bad.
I wish I could just disable the horns
For cosmetic purposes
they're not dyable so no
yeah, you need to buy a fantasia
you get one for free for finishing the base game at 50 too
it keeps showing me my product keys even tho i thought I already added them into the game does this mean I didnt do it?
did you enter them on mogstation?
I think
then it's probably just steam being steam
it's optional, you get one extra free teleport destination if you use it but its just optional 2fa if you want to use it
Sooo..... There is no way of paying this game with like a voucher or something
I don't have a bank acc. But how can I play the full version.
you can buy sub with paypal or paysafecard i think
Yah you can pester support live chat to hand you the code wheb the purchase goes through
How does one farm those elemental crystal again?
🤔
I want to know because I'm low on Lightning
😔
you can mine for them
I mean you could, but that's probably less efficient
you can pick up the Miner job in Ul'dah
But do I do this?
its like kill enemy quest-
but is it even important?
or those two?
no
Do I just skip all?
when I have to kill enemies for main story- I coudl just klill the 6 forest funguars anyways, no?
mh..
Is doing them afterwards later an option?
the only quests you absolutely 100% should do are
and 
anything else is at your discretion
yes
mh-
i mean..
will it put me much behind if i do all of them right now?
compared to if i dont?
i used to all quests
maybe thats why it took me 10 hours
to hit 30
I mean
you should work at your own pace
if you enjoy doing all the side quests then by all means, go right ahead
mh-
For the first job
is there a lot of side quests?
is the lore of them important?
I mean-
seems like just- kinda random stuff.
But I heard before side missions are really cool sometimes.
it's lore insomuch as it gives you an idea of what the lives of people in the world are like
They're just world building
Sometimes very rarely they give you like an emote or minion
But that's about it

Send it in #general-discussion
@gritty kite the point is that, no, you don't have to do side quests and you won't be behind on EXP gain if you don't
they are entirely optional
yaa.. im just trying to decide.
my friend who did all of them said
they arent that much of a deal after all, cause they are mostly really quick and stuff.
so im not sure..
If you want an opinion, I could give you one
there's like zero reason to do them all
you should do like the first 10-15 you see in your starting city to get some gil for teleports and free ilvl 5 gear for that one msq that says you need ilvl 5 gear but after than you can basically ignore all normal sidequests
i only ever do them if im like 2% of a level short of accessing the next dungeon or something
Mh- okay I won't do them on my first class, but maybe on another one later, cause I need xp and stuff. 
Good idea?
side quests aren't good for exp either, really
when leveling other jobs you generally spam leveling dungeons or deep dungeons over and over
yeah most of the game is like, years old, and exp values for things like sidequests and fates have been the same since the start, while they add better ways of leveling with every other patch like deep dungeons, preferred servers etc

yeah its a thing
How many people do I need for a11s? I just managed a12s with 4 (tank, 2 DPS, healer) unsync, of course
Did you check the vendors in your respective starting city state? (Ul’dah, gridania, limsa lominsa)
I mean ya- but I don't even have gil.
Ow
@gritty kite just do the main scenario, which hands out gear like candy
I can't do it..
jelly are you doing the quest which requires full level 5 gear
yes.
oh right...
its main story, no?
that
;-;
The bannock has a NPC there and all you need to do is get a hat
You should be able to afford it
wym hat?
I mean hat
i need full gear no?
@gritty kite if not, look around, there are plenty of low level quests around that also gives gear, locate and do those side quest
you need gear in each slot except waist
wait no-
calfi was right.,
i can finish the quest.
i only needed a lv 5 hat.
thanks <3
@gritty kite you're on trial right?
Do you? I just forgot race gear isn't ilevel 5
jelly you own the game, don't you
i do o:
yeah, so you're not on the trial
ya
and are you on primal @gritty kite ?
ah i would help but im on primal, well just go around gridinia asking if someone can get you a lv 5 hat from the vendor
What happens to your friends list if you change datacenter?
they all change into (Unable to retrieve)
presumably it gets fixed if you go back and click the update button on each of them but don't quote me on that
Does anyone have a list of the Free trial restrictions?
How many players do I need for a11s unsync?
Does anyone have a list of the Free trial restrictions?

Thank you
!faq freetrial
Thank you
So, I want to confirm one things om hunt
I can only hunt enemies that appear on the board?
Or I can go to any zone and seek an A/S hunt?
No, there are A, B, and S ranks from what I remember. Which you can gain rewards from. You can kill them at your own leisure
The problem is finding them. There is a specific discord server for that called Centurio Hunts
there's no bills for A and S ranks so yeah, you just hunt them as you see them
You need bills for B ranks
Ah, kay
i dont think B ranks give any rewards if you don't have the bill, not 100% sure, but they're also not really a rare thing since they have an almost 100% uptime, they respawn someplace else right after they're killed
they have long respawn timers so an organized hunt linkshell/server would be your best bet yeah
they keep track of the respawns
You can ask there and browse for hunt targets freely
Hey there ~ might be off topic maybe : do we know if it's possible to change the time and weather in gpose mode ?
Nope
bummer

thx still
can I miss an attack on a sleeping target? If I miss, will it wake up?
playing BLU so wonder if I can increase my chance for 1,000 needles hitting higher-level monsters
I don’t think sleep increases accuracy
Anyone willing to do an unsynced Dusk Vigil with me so that I can get the Aether Current? Been waiting 20 minutes and no healers are queueing so it wont pop while synced
Noob question, but can you unlock the final boss room in qarn without having picked up a single puzzle stone
Or do you need at least two just to put them in
yes you can do it without the stones
Doesn't the thing need to be interacted with?
I know you can skip the two puzzle door stones, I mean the rest
tip the scales without putting anything on it
