was planning to get a sub tomorrow, but suddenly i clicked login and play and i was baffled
Also im in Mor Dhana and before i remember i could not fly there, now i can fly ?
in 5.3, aka this patch
they made flying in arr zones a thing
after finishing castrum
As long as you've completed the MSQ "The Ultimate Weapon" you can fly in all ARR zones now.
Ahh ok im at " Still Waters" i got a prompt to abondon and take the quest again too
that there were some changes
to the quest
Yes, they removed and adjusted a LOT of quests in the ARR and post-ARR questlines.
So now it's a lot more streamlined.
That sounds amazing, will check out how the stuff goes in this free login campaign
Also of note, the Crystal Tower raid is now required content before reaching the Shadowbringers expansion content. For new players there's a specific wall in the MSQ where you can't progress, but for older players it will simply prompt you to complete the raid series (if you haven't done so) before allowing you to pick up the quest to begin ShB.
No idea what either of those are, but i stopped playing before this changes so i guess i will eventually hit the wall ?
Yes
It'll stop you before you can do anything else to go finish those raids
Or any other msq changes they made
All right thanks a lot for all the info !
It will specifically tell you "you cannot progress in the main story until you have completed this specific series of quests"
And that series of quests relates to unlocking the Crystal Tower (Labyrinth of the Ancients, Syrcus Tower, World of Darkness) Alliance raids.
^^
Is it normal that sirensong sea gives me more exp than violet tides?
It doesn't

Did you... maybe complete a weekly challenge (5 commendations or 5 dungeons) when you ran Sirensong?
That's the only thing I could think of that would make a lower level instance apparently award more xp than a higher level one.
Or, potentially, you had Rested for Sirensomg
And weโre getting 150% exp
Whereas you had used it all by Shisui
@cedar compass
Is it true that Goblin, Diabolos and Malboro are having Ishgard fates every 8 hours nonstop?
I doubt they were having them nonstop but they did hit the final section of restoration for this period which gives you a few fates back to back until they're done
There was a screenshot of Malboro close to failing a fate so
I dont think its known what happens if one fails
If the fates fail it just resets and you have to do that one again
The have to be properly completed
For detonator skill from MCH, do I use it, then overheat and spam heat blast and gauss blast?
For wildfire you use 5 heat blasts + 1 gcd
Naturally weave Gauss and richo so you dont overcap charges on those
Okay
you can use wildfire after one heatblast too, it should still get the full value unless you have high ping
Doesn't his damage increase with each use of a weapon skill?
It can also be the same skill multiple time, yeah?
Yes
So it's pretty much: basic combo > over heat and rook when possible > heatblast until overheat ends?
Rook/Queen is usually used around raid buffs. Rook specifically has slightly weirder scaling and is better around 70-90 gauge
Bit always Hypercharge with wildfire
Is there any other way to buy subscription my credit card won't work
is there any use to not extracting materia?
oh lol yea Malboro sucks at fates lol
@faint flare Can you maybe send a link of that website ?
why are you playing in marlboro? i thought u were in eu?
Wut site
Crysta maybe
Its on the Mogstation
I live in EU, but play on Malboro

@leaden ginkgo what's that
oh yeah and speaking of crysta. I'm thinking of spending some on outfits but I was wondering are the clothes dyeable ?
uhh
sec
i believe you can search for the particular item in question on lodestone and it will tell you if it's dyable
alright got it, ty
you can also hover over the items on the store page
and it'll bring up the lodestone tooltip
can anyone suggest what armour or weapons i should grind for as a lancer ive only just started playing so im a complete noob lmao
You dont grind for stuff until cap. Story, job quests and stuff you get from dungeons will be fine
I just tried to make a quick rez macro but it didn't work, do I need to add a wait between quickcast and raise to account for animation lock?
here's the macro
/action "Swiftcast"
/action "Raise" <t>
Yes
Also dont use swiftcast raise macros
If I'm just powerleveling my retainer with quick ventures, do I have to bother with keeping up their gear or just slap on lv1 stuff until 50? (I want to reset my botanist retainer into miner for thanalan topsoil.
Its so much slower
ok
well if you have both without wait it's not slower i think
first press does quickcast, second raise
assuming you have both in a position where you don'T have to think about it ye
Also there's a big chance the swiftcast raise macro won't go off correctly because Raise is a GCD and can1t go off if your GCD is still rolling, so you have to have godlike timing to minimize clipping. I personall recommend the raise macro to just be the Raise button and some /p text to let your team know you rezzed.
Swift should be in a easily accessible spot to begin with
You do end up using it often
If I'm just powerleveling my retainer with quick ventures, do I have to bother with keeping up their gear or just slap on lv1 stuff until 50? (I want to reset my botanist retainer into miner for thanalan topsoil.
i would not do quick ventures unless you really don't want to bother giving your retainer gear
Isn't quick venture faster than 18hr since quick grants a level every 4-5 hours?
you do the specific 1hr ventures
quick ventures exp is random and based on the item brought back so its not consistent at all
Specific 1hr ventures? Like the actual gathering ones?
yes
which is why said i wouldn't do quick ventures unless you dont want to bother with gearing your retainer since the targeted ventures have ilvl/gathering requirements
Yeah fair I guess. I think I have enough random crap laying around to make it gear.
Also, if my gathering log has it checked off, the retainer can gather it, even if I haven't gathered it since I reset it, right?
@faint flare thanks!

Is this the card to buy for a subscription.
yes
Okie how long does it take to get the code?
just make sure though its same region as your account
digital code should be e-mailed shortly to you after payment is accepted, atleast thats my experience with amazon
Are they cards all the same for pc and ps4
They ain't separate ones for each one are they
time cards aren't separated by pc/ps4
I would like to ask you something: I am currently on free trial so I need to buy the complete edition which is 40 EURO on the square enix website, but what happen if I buy the key on other sites like G2A which is 24 EURO? There are many of these sites. Are like scam?
do not buy from sites like g2a
they're not an authorized third party site and if its found that the key you bought from them was bought with a stolen credit card, your account is going to be banned no questions asked
related question
g2a and suchlike sites are notorious for buying keys with stolen credit cards
If I buy the complete edition I get a month sub for free. Is that month from the time of purchase? or first login after or what?
it opens your account up for serious action against it if you risk it
the 30 days free starts when you apply the code to your account
Just buy from the official site๐
ok thanks
understood, ok thanks
i got a related question too! https://store.na.square-enix-games.com/en_US/product/282175/final-fantasy-xiv-online-60-day-game-time-code-download
does purchasing this get locked to my SE account or can i gift the code to a friend to use after purchase?
awesome thanks!!
and as long as they play on NA server (for example aether) even if they don't live in NA, it works?
no, it needs to match their account's region
oh i see! okay
so they would need to log into the mogstation and look at that to make sure
glad there's a way to double-check, thank you!
If everything is used on cooldown, everything aligns again at 6mins
Causw the 2min cooldowns wont be up at the 3min mark
Ofc pots wont be up
kk

Can't join Frontier training... looks like I did the quest, im lvl 33, gladiator....
even the training is locked
by frontier training, do you mean frontlines?
oh yeah
that would be because you haven't unlocked your job yet
can only enter pvp as a job, not a class
go unlock paladin through the story
god forbid something is interesting and not locked behind useless talking and cutscenes
if you've never done ff14 pvp before
I highly suggest you don't just queue right away
because you will be fucking lost and half your skills aren't going to make sense
they give you all your skills up to level 80 except they trim out half of them

thank god I didnt pay for this shit
pvp isn't really one of ff14's selling points
I don't understand your issue with everything being locked behind story when it's the main allure of the game
are online store cosmetics tradable?
no
no
oof k, gonna have to gift a code then
Thank god they aren't
Hey guys, I'm interested in streaming FFXIV, but I've never streamed anything before. Can anyone offer me any pointers, or a site that explains the stuff involved? I know Twitch exists, but I've only seen a couple videos on the site, never mind used it myself for streaming. Any help would be appreciated, and it ought to be a lot of fun when I get it going. So anyone interested in that, hope you look forward it ^_^
helps a bit to know what your goal with streaming is
are you streaming for fun? hoping to make it big?
Twitch exists
If you're interested in Twitch, wait out the DMCA stuff, else you might be off the platform faster than you can say "A rusty Roegadyn is really really mean" 3 times.
other than that, just be talkactive - viewers usually want to be interacted with
what kind of content in ff14 are you planning on streaming?
Mostly for fun. What I'm thinking of doing is RPing my WoL while they're going through the game, and the commentary would be first-person narration as the events unfold. To give you an example of the perspective, the commentary would be something like:
"Today I'm finally going to join the guild and be an adventurer like the heroes of old!"
twitch is the biggest streaming platform and youre most likely to get an audience on there
Got it, I'll try Twitch whenever the DMCA stuff gets resolved. It's mainly an experiment for me to have fun and get some confidence just talking, and learn to be able to put my voice out there in front of an audience. Maybe other people will enjoy it, we'll see.
hey anyone know where I can find this unukalhai guy to do the containment bay s1t7 quest?
the guide wiki says in rising stones, but I can't find him there
did you do "gods of eld" in ishgard
ye I finished hw
You need to do the quest "Gods of Eld"
is it not msq?
It starts outside Fortemps manor
sounds good thx

Can a new char spawn in Ul'dah and travel to gridania without reaching the airship msq?
yes
Are Copied Factory manafactured coins weekly locked?
No
Does 14 use a lot of Internet how much does it eat
uhh
aside from the initial download
anyone know how i can get these curtains?
it's a standard online game, the amount of data it uses is minimal since most of it is already preloaded on your machine
great thanks kupo
thank you
I'm switching my PS4 back to Wi-Fi that's why I asked
between 30 and 50 mbps download and 100 to 500 kbps per second upload my wireless connection is a bit more unstable than my wired one
What do I get If I repeat Make it Rain quest a lot of times? Only mgp?
It sucks that my PS4 can't connect to my 5G
yes, the only reward from the repeatable is the mgp @wheat plume
Does Trick Attack debuff on Ninja affect LB damage
we don't know, but it leans towards no(?)
@normal tusk around 20mb an hour according to most sites
i want a harp glam for bow, would the ARR relic weapon or the HWS anima weapon be quicker to grind
HW
depends on what stage of ARR relic you want to go to
if you just want the first step, which is a harp bow, ARR relic really doesn't take that long to do
even up to atma, they're both pretty similar time frames imo
What is the best materia in order for Summoner at max level?
Crit > DH >= Det > SpS
Pardon?
critical hit > direct hit >= determination > spell speed
SMN doesn't really benefit from spell speed so the best materia is Crit, followed by direct hit or determination depending on your gear
Is this per boss, or 1 award a week?
1 piece of gear for the entire raid per week
Two are obtained on completion
Tuesday
time?
!weekly
can toss them or hold onto them for if they decide to rerun the event again and possibly add new minions/weapons
Yeah if you have everything, thereโs no need to hold on excess unless youโre a collector
11 EST?
@flat quail currently 10est because of daylight savings
can passage of arms be flashed in a similar manner to ast bubble?
its like a channeled defensive iirc
Yes
the ast bubble has an effect that persists after it disappears
It can be flashed
note that while the damage reduction buff persists for ~5 seconds afterwards, the 100% block rate buff that you get while channeling passage disappears instantly

i've heard caster LB1 is slightly higher potency than ranged LB1, but both wikis say they're the same at 1650
anyone know for sure?
caster LB is stronger than ranged LB. The potency numbers listed on wikis are old/outdated and even when they were listed a ways back they weren't even correct
Does SE hate BLMs? I don't get gear, I feel bosses always specifically target me when I BLM, But the splosions' are fun ๐
1st run in Puppets cove and 0 BLM drops... and I didn't get anything
anecdotal
for a single run in an alliance raid its totally possible that nothing drops for you
each boss has a set pool they choose from
I think i ran 3 times to get a gear for my healer alt ๐ still didn't drop. Ended up just getting for my dps alt
If I didn't get anything, I can run it as much as I want for the weekly, yeah?
until I get something that is
if you didnt roll for gear loot yes
cool
can always check the duty finder for that instance
if it says Reward Received (3/3)
so uhh, sort of a subjective question, but just how hard are the ultimate raids compared to savages in your guys' opinions?
you've gotten everything
ultimates are both an endurance test
and focus tests
you haev to execute so many mechanics at once over a 15-18 minute fight

And mistakes can very quickly spiral into wiprs
They're an entire order of magnitude harder
depends on the ultimate and part of the fight
Savages are for the really good players.
Ultimates are for the players that hate themselves. ๐
in tea, dying is a wipe in 99% of cases
in ucob and uwu, depending on the spot, they can be very recoverable
Savages are for the really good players.
Ultimates are for the players that hate themselves. ๐
@plush hound this is just untrue
savage doesn't exactly have a high bar of skill entry
lots of people can coast on by and clear most of the floors
and your sense of self-worth is irrelevant to your interest in ultimates
Yeah, don't have that kind of mentality :/
please do not project opinions like that as fact here
pretty sure all contents are for everyone, just need patience
nor is it appropriate to shitpost it here
any one who can access the content is equally capable of clearing it
its a matter of patience and dedication, as well as finding a group you can mesh well with (especially for ultimates)

So I'm somewhat confused...I bought level ~60 crafting gear in Kugane for my level 62-63 crafters....and my stats are way too low to reliably craft level 60 items while wearing it. I mean yeah, I can get it with very low quality, but thats about it. No collectibles or or ishgard restoration stuff
all the guides say the vendor stuff should be fine.
mainly this one
Ishgardian Restoration and relic guideBy Iโnanghal Shikhu(Shikhu#3190) and The Balance discord: https://discord.gg/thebalanceffxiv Updated to 5.35 OverviewCraftingExpert Crafting and rankingsGatheringKupo FortuneMacros for the Restoration Skysteel tools(Relic) Ishgard...
yeah, I was going for lazy using that to just grind out the levels, but stats aren't high enough to use the 50-60 macros
so collectibility is too low
enmity and aggro is the same?
Yes khell
Yes
is more difficult to put aggro in a lot of enemies than in a little? stats of tank affect the max number of enemies?
same thing
just turn on enmity and spam aoe ๐ค
i think it's difficult if you don't hit all the enemies with your aoe
so a lvl 15 tank could put aggro in 20 enemies with no prob? I'm asking because sometimes people say a tank cant put aggro in too much mobs
well as lv 15 tank, you shouldn't have 20 enemies since you don't have a lot of cd at that level
They can pull them. Survival is another story
haha, yeah, it was an example
should be no problem ๐
so the only limit is how much damage at the same time can the tank resist
But threat is independant for each mob.
But threat is independant for each mob.
@plush hound what is threat?
haha
Honestly my crafting problem is partially my own making...effectively leveled to 60 without learning how to craft, then at 60 you suddenly and rather rudely are forced to learn what you're doing. A combination of Road to 70 and Ishgard restoration
trust me, i was at the worse situation ๐
Tank stance multiplies all aggro gained by a stupid amount so as long as you're hitting mobs regularly, aka aoeing, you'll aggro everything
i didn't even learn my crafter job quest till i reached 80
Yeah my second class I'm playing (62) is Dancer, boom day 1 60 levels of skills on your hotbar
yeah, i followed desperius guide which doesn't require manipulation ๐คฆโโ๏ธ
until someone here directed me to #doh-dol-lounge
what's the easiest healer to use? for someone who has onlyDPSd all his live and has 3 months of MMO experience
i started with scholar so it was easiest for me..
@wheat plume general consensus is white mage
its also the first healer you can be since it starts as a conj
I level'd ast and whm recently still lv 60ish.. people often died but I think i'm getting better
The macros for crafting tend to be built around top tier gear. It could be a case that your stats just aren't high enough.
I'm starting with dark knight as my first tank. Does it get fun to use at lvl 80?
DRK's got the coolest DoT in the game at 80
I think so hmm, fun is subjective
WHM is the most direct. Damage gets heals. SCH is built around preparation
DRK's got the coolest DoT in the game at 80
@hasty musk great
but DRK is the poster boy of the latest expansion
the job action show off got a lot of cheers from the audience of fanfest
so that's a tell that many people like them ๐
@wheat plume wdym? salted earth?
Fanfest at Seoul (19.10.05)
Living Shadow
Fray
literally I think the only thing that got more cheers than DRK was PLD gap closer
i didnt think people considered that as a DoT
I mean it basically is
@wheat plume wdym? salted earth?
@outer plank sorry, dont know what salted earth means, I'm not at end game and english is not my main language lol
Itโs one of DRKโs actions.
@wheat plume saltted earth is a drk ability
but you don't have to worry about DRK, it's the posterboy of ShB as you can see in the trailer
My DRK is at lvl 31 lol
I want to use DRK at ShB because of that, its awesome using DRG in Heavensward because there are 2 azure dragoons lol
I've seen people use macros for crafting, but I'm having a lot of fun doing it without them (I have 6 crafters at lvl 40-50) Is there any advantage in doing it without macros?
yeah, some people find the rotation is fun
in the beginning, i would suggest doing so without macros ๐
but after you are making 1000x items later
it helps with the repetition
there's a little more flexibility in doing it manual since you can choose to make use of tricks
but most macros usually account for how much cp you're going to need
macros do allow for consistency in your skill usage, so you don't end up pressing the wrong thing in the rotation by accident
When you end up having to craft a LOT of stuff in one shot, a macro comes in handy.
anyway i can find a try hard fc?
i just hit level 80 and i want to get into this game for reals. and grind away
macros do allow for consistency in your skill usage, so you don't end up pressing the wrong thing in the rotation by accident
@little swift Yeah, but I use Tricks of the Trade and Hasty Touch, and I've been thinking of implementing them in macros, but doing it 1000 times makes me see better ways of doing it xD
Shout/advertise that you're looking for a higber end FC
FC is usually for social stuffs
can always check your relevant datacenter recruitment channels in here as well
for tryhard raid stuff, would suggest looking for a static
thank you guys
@little swift Yeah, but I use Tricks of the Trade and Hasty Touch, and I've been thinking of implementing them in macros, but doing it 1000 times makes me see better ways of doing it xD
@wheat plume you have to consider that relying on rng to save your butt isn't as good as well, though manual does allow you to fish for procs and better conditions
I know blue has a provoke, but they don't have anything like a shirk, do they? How do you properly tank swap with them?
@wheat plume you have to consider that relying on rng to save your butt isn't as good as well, though manual does allow you to fish for procs and better conditions
@little swift I suposse macros doent's use hasty touch nor tricks of the trade, right? So with macros you need to have better stats for crafting?
not necessarily better stats, but just smarter use of your CP
that's why sites like teamcraft exist
for you to test your rotation out
You just turn off mighty guard briefly or the new tank spams like Look or White Wind for aggro
what is teamcraft?
its a website that shares community rotations, allow for making of lists, as well as simulates the crafting environment
Teamcraft is a website that allows you to build and test rotations
so that you can test a rotation and such
its listed in the #resources as well as the pins of #doh-dol-lounge
Why are some people's weapon res in potd?

@silk summit BLU doesnโt have a shirk, yes
The red version is when the weapon stat is upgraded enough.
Your weapons turn red when your Aetherpool is over 60/60
Can I get it as a glam?
Yes
You can, but you need to spend aetherpool levels to do so
You need 6 aether grips and the yellow version, which needs 3 grips
Each grip costs 10/10 levels
if I'm lvl 79 would mt gulg be the best for xp?
Also
what kind of macro do i need to target what ever players is in a certain spot of the party list?
or is that needed if i want that
Since the look depends on equipped weapon, it defaults to one or what?
If you haven't done your dailies, I would say yes, eugen. Remember to eat some food for extra exp buff
yeah, pretty sure padjali weapon model is fixed
@leaden ginkgo yes
ah ty!
i wanna do that blue quest right? But do I do main story here now first or do I completet the blue one now? But blue makes me walk a lot.
do the blue quest
The blue quests unlocks the aethestican
oh- what is that?!
hairstylist
To change things like your hair and a few other stuff
either way is fine ๐ค
Only in PotD an d it's based on your aetherpool level. The ones outside are separate items.
blue/msq first both are important

do ephemeral nodes appear at random times during their spawn windows?
I where one is supposed to be and it aint
You have to โgatherโ from the nearby nodes for it to spawn
There aren't any nodes nearby
Though all you need to actually do is open up the gathering window for the node and move onto the next node and itโll eventually spawn
Which node are you trying to get?
The nearby nodes are the ring of nodes your lv1 location skill points you to
Thatโs not an ephemeral node
Just a normal unspoiled node
And yeah, ARR unspoiled nodes arenโt both AM and PM, theyโre one of the two
head explodes
Crafting is harder than a combat class, so damned many little intricacies
ARR is weird and inconsistent
crafting is wierd

is there anyway to disabled the camera from auto centrering
@dry jolt itโs easy, you got things that raises your quality, and things that raises your progress
Youโre usually using the same 6 or 7 skills in end game crafting as new skills like ground work tends to put others to shame
@fiery fjord use standard control scheme
alternatively, rebind A and D to strafe instead of rotate
auto adjust only happens when you use turn keys to move left and right
how does stun work? i know repeated actions have a weaker stun each time but how long does it usually take before the original lenght is back?
Iirc about a minute or so
in PvE about a minute yeah
And you can only stun 3 times before resistance is built up
@onyx kiln 3 if were going by holy
Every time I sell something on the MB there's a giant notification across the middle of my screen saying "You sold 10 iron ore for 1 billion gil"
Is there any way to make this not show up?
nope
Be in a instance
that is pretty much what i had in mind
started leveling WHM and thought crossed me how much Holy you can spam before it stops being usefull
The answer is 10000000s holies
As long as there's more than like 2/3 mobs, you holy
Stun immune or not
is it the only AoE damage WHM gets?
Its the only aoe you can spam
As a GCD, yes
Misery
Thats the one
They're not as spammable as holy due to cooldown/resources
All healerd have 1 spammable aoe skill
what do I need to do to switch from arcanist to gunbreaker?
go straight to Gridania or do I need to pick a job before it first
I believe you need to be at least level (60?) in order to start the quest in Gridania. But nothing other than having a lvl60 combat class
Shadowbringers Expansion Jobs: Gunbreaker (Tank) and Dancer (Ranged DPS). These jobs start at level 60 and require ownership of the Shadowbringers Expansion and a disciple of war or magic job at level 60.
Job Unlock Locations:
Gunbreaker - Gods' Quiver Bow at New Gridania (11,11), quest name is "The Makings of a Gunbreaker".
Dancer - Eager Lominsan at Limsa Lominsa Lower Decks (9,12), quest name is "Shall We Dance".
arcanist doesnt upgrade into gunbreaker if thats what youre thinking
job upgrades only apply to ARR classes
arcanist upgrades to scholar or summoner
Do I actually have to farm these Tortured/Sorrowful/Harrowing Memories of the Dying in HW zones or can I also farm them while doing Bozjan Front struggles and events? I'm um... confused as to why new ShB content has me farming HW FATEs like it's 2015 again
you can farm them in bozja as well
it's just an alternative if you don't want to be in bozja
Bozjan Front mobs (not just struggles and events) can drop them.
Tortured Memories come from the south section, Sorrowful from the middle section, and Harrowing from the north section
Oh snap thanks fam. I swear I've read a ton of online guides and they were all very vague about it.
Does anyone happen to remember offhand where reshade by default saves it's screenshots? I'm trying to find mine and I accidentally entered my password wrong too many times so I can't check in game ๐
Just a quick question to help me save a lot of time if I mess up. Im planning to focus on a class the can do support/tank (mainly) whilst doing dmg if needed and was wondering what class that may be so I can focus on that rather then picking a class that Iโm going to want to change later.
Pls and ty
tanks don't do "support" all that much
they just grab aggro and use mitigation when needed
that's it
sometimes move the boss
depends what they mean by support
See Iโm recently got this game and I understand paladin / dark knight can tank but out of the two I believe paladin is more party support while dark knight is self support. Because of this I was going to focus on paladin but since Iโm new to this game Iโm not sure if Iโm missing any other classes that would be better
no
you can play as every job in the game on one character
the most support-y thing about paladin is that it has a heal
but you dont use it often
Eh
like ever
intervention/cover are good single target "support" tools
and a pretty alright shield on your entire party when you get healed
Both tanks have a few support skills
each tank has similar defensive skills
passage of arms/divine veil are good aoe ones
dont paladins also have the wings of light thing or whatever
Yes but I want to focus on one class until Iโm comfortable enough to swap to other classes
im not high enough level but ive seen it before
Increases block rate to 100% and creates a designated area in a cone behind you in which party members will only suffer 85% of all damage inflicted.
Duration: 18s
Effect ends upon using another action or moving (including facing a different direction).
Cancels auto-attack upon execution.
Just pick whichever tank looks the coolest for you
^
Alrighty ty
all the tanks function pretty much the same with some minor differences
Or if you're just starting out, pick Gladiator since you can't pick up DRK until Ishgard
again, all tanks have similar defensive skills
they can all shield other people
and themselves
paladins cannot shield themselves ๐ค
they have a shield
and veil spreads to others
but it doesn't shield themself
block =/= shield too in this game
i meant they have a skill that absorbs/reduces dmg on themselves
sure they dont have an actual shield
Thats damage reduction, not a shield
i didnt mean shield in the technical sense
You should use correct terminology
they each have skills that shields/blocks/absorbs dmg/reduces dmg for other people and themselves
Does ffxiv go on sale soon?
there might be a black friday sale, but no way to know for sure

How do you check which world is the preferred one?
Ohh thank you
quick question, i just got my first beast tribe in SB, does SB beast tribe follow the same rule as HW that when you rank up, you get an extra three quests for that day?
okay so need some advice, im already on my last three allowances for the day but i already unlocked the quest to rank up. if i do the three daily quests and the rank up quest but dont turn any of them in, will i still be able to get six quests tomorrow?
you will have to complete the 3 quests before you can pick up the new ones that day
turn in your current 3 quests
and just don't fully complete the rank up one
and do that tomorrow
but wouldnt the reputation gained from the three quests be lost?
i know in HW they dont carry over, is it different in SB?
you could just turn it in all tomorrow
that too^
you'd get your 12 allowances once you turn in today's dailies
just make sure you do so, or you can't get any more quests
yeah that was my plan, so if i do that, i can still get six quests tomorrow because of the three quests of the day + the three quests gained from ranking up?
I see, thanks, just wanted to make sure
yes
after grinding the HW beast tribe quests because I put them aside im trying to be a bit more efficient in SB
quick question
so regarding alts
if someone wanted to get a second alt up and running for the purposes of being a part of two statics
what's the fastest possible way
buy level + story skip?
story is probably the slower one though
But its what you value
so probably better value
so you'd be a level 1 at ShB
Also now auto completes CT quest chain. It didnโt do that until 5.3.
that's funny
If I would transfer data cemter/worlds... Which one would you recommend for European player?
Oh, I see. I was thinking of Odin tho, but not quite sure I visit Odin a lot and limsa is always over populated, at least during the time I play
follow your heart
i personally wouldn't jump to a new server unless you find friends there first

are there any shortcuts for talking in cwls in similar vein to how party chat can be /p
/cwl#
I have a question about beginner whm, is it normal to feel stressful and a bit overwhelming to first time playing whm without any experience as a healer in mmorpg? Iโm getting better still feel lots of pressure during battle in dungeons.
yes
i did at first
once you realize healing is 80% just spamming one button it goes away
My hands were so cold coz I tried hard to keep up the speed of damage
you dont need to keep people topped off
O
Any time you learn something new it can be stressful, bit I'd argue although white mage is certainly easier then scholar or even astrologian it's not pressing just one button
Use your healing spells on yourself, and get an rough idea of how much it can heal
Ok ok
Anyways, on a side note, is there specific requirements for getting the retainer gathering pets? Or just any quick venture has a chance
Assuming your basic single heal heals 500, If your party member took 200 damage but isn't getting hit anyway, just let them be
I see
If your tank is taking damage from dungeon mobs, then just make sure they are close to 90-95 percent health
the more experienced you become, the more leeway you have
Also generally speaking unless there's unavoidable damage healing dps isint a high priority unless they are below half
And sometimes even then it's not a priority
!action Regen
Yeah sometimes I donโt even know itโs my healing speed/ power is good enough or my tank took too much mobs once and run off like a wind, it happens so often
Regen has a total of 1200 cure potency, but it is gradual 200 x 6, it tick once every 3 second
your tank should be using mitigation
yeah itโs normal to be stressful at first
I cast regen to tank at the every beginning of battle
Hopefully your gear isn't bad either
It doesnโt help that sometimes at low levels you may get tanks who donโt even use mitigation and you have to carry them
That just sets healing to hard mode for no reason
I update my gears after every dungeon
So you need to decide if someone needed heal at all, if they don't, just leave them alone, but if they do then you decide: if they need a heal right away so you use Cure, or if they are not in imminent danger, you can use a regen and let them slowly recover health
Are you using the gear that gives the right stats?
True good point
Look for pieces that give mind
Yes mind and piety are chosen to consider to buy the gear
What's your current level?
Market/ dungeon drops I equipped is this good enough?
It also helps if you at the begining of a duengon let people know that you are new to healing. Most tanks will pull back on heavy pulls a bit
Me lv39
Main story rewards and dungeon gear and job quests
Ye i wrote new whm here lol
Will be ok for firstjob
Don't say new WHM say new to hwaling
Oooo new to healing ok ๐
Cause honestly a new WHM who understands how ff14 healing works even if they know nothing about whm will sil be at a bit advantage just by reading tooltips
Ye u just hope the tanks donโt run that fast then get so low HP I run to heal like crazy with sprint
I know it sounds nitpicky but it makes a differencea
!action Cure II
healing gets easier the further you go and the more tools you get
If you have to, use Cure II
In this game once you understand core mechanics all classes are easy moatly
Ye thatโs my savoir Currii
Cure II heals more in a single spellcast
Yes true
Tbh cure 1 is trash
Medica is used depending on if all team was damaged
If you can cure1 it you could of prob just stopped Regen and then dps'd
Dropped a Regen*
Ah ok cure 1 doesnโt help much
ye you get more tools and (usually more experienced people)
since at low level you get a bunch of people new to the game who step in bad stuff, donโt use mitigation and whatever
Its not that it doesnt help much
Lol th people part is a pure chance
I don't think I cast cure 1 ever tbh at higher levels
Its that its less valuable when you have access to more powerful tools
The more powerful tool means gears weapons?
more skills and spells which do different stuff
Ah ok
!action benediction for example
Yeah in this gave every GCD is important. And if you can save a gcd by instead of using 2 cure 1s, by letting them take more damage then using 1 cure 2 you opened up a cast for something else
So far just lucid dreaming is my best friend hahah
In this game *
it always will be
So with leveling up the more powerful abilities will soothe some of my whm healing anxiety I believe?
which hairstyle is this?
pretty much, yeah
Yes and no.
That just comes from playing more tbh
Experience
It'll click over time
Gives you better tools but you still need to make food decisions and understand game mechanics just the same
When you realize you'll be fine and the tank will be fine
Ah True
Good decisions fml
Food is largely irrelevant to most players
@manic flare female hyur hairstyle
female midlander racial hair @manic flare
@twilit arch is that part of the default?
yes
yes
Do drop by here again and ask questions here if you are not sure about anything
Was a typo channy
WHM will get a lot of healing spells and abilities that are kinda the same, but not exactly
I cant figure out what demimateria is used for
Crafting lvl 50 master recipes
which type of demimateria
Any
Demimateria recipes
There's also a big difference between playing optimally and playing good enough, whm by far has the lowest skill floor.
some of them are used in certain recipes, and clear demimateria is vendor fodder
Are the master ones the ones you learn from the books cause i didn't understand that either
I didnโt know whm has the lowest floor I just found itโs more difficult to feel satisfaction than blm
At the beginning
because theres no big explosions except holy
Well out of the healers whm is by far the lowest skill floor
Dps is a different beast
Healing is a challenging role to play when you begin
Can be overwhelming to newer players
Tanking and dps are easier to approach in that sense
Very true Iโm blm almost lv80
Your main goal to get better, and what you should revolve all your play around is this, - keeping players alive and then slowly figuring out how to spend more and more time dpsing
Yes I found blm is much easier, I mean also get less blame too , sigh, thatโs also a source of stress
the tank also has responsibility to keep themselves and the rest of the party alive
True keep people all alive is the priority
As you get better feel more comfortable and understand your class and fights you'll give your chance more time to dps through understanding mechanics as well as making better healing decisions
if the tank is eating ass then no healer is going to save them
Absolutely, now I cast an Aero and run healing like crazy
Hahahah i had one tank was something, he pulls so much mobs that I really couldnโt catch up the healing
also you should never treat any of your skills as "emergency healing"
use all of them
O balance the skills
Yeah later on you'll be. Less panicky when something takes a hit, one thing to note is a huge amount of damage is avoidable, and damage is scripted, there's plenty of times where even if someone is like 50 percent or lower hp they are in absolutely no risk of dieing unless they stand in bad stuff. And when you start to know when you can push it you'll be able to heal less and dps more
Umm lucid dreaming I used when half way mp is this alright?
at low levels you should use it at like 8k mp
8k mp is a safer baseline
like 70-80% mp
at higher levels you use it whenever it comes up
You should always be casting so when you have 7-8k you can use it
Ooo got it
If you don't need to heal you should be casting dps
healing is just 80% dpsing 20% healing
Yeah pretty much
any way to increase gp regen while gathering stuff? I see items that increase the cap but they don't seem particularly useful
Like I said earlier your main goal to get better is look at what you're doing and ask, is there a better way I could of handled that, that would have allowed me to do more damage while not letting people die
@agile night cordials are consumable items that give a large amount back at once
Thereโs also the watered cordial, along with the Hi-Cordial bought with yellow scrips
@agile night outside of cordials and the GP Regenation traits
For whm I havenโt consumed any enhancing ability food, is it recommended, maybe later for bigger fight?
looks like I might be a little ways from that but thanks good to know what to look for
@leaden ginkgo donโt bother with foods, or rather eat anything for that 3% exp boost for 30 minutes
Ah oh ๐
When youโre doing a dungeon
Feel more safety
early on, 1 or 2 points of stats won't make a colossal difference
Later when doing end game content you can worry about food effectiveness but the dungeons youโre doing are incredibly easy
and damage in normal content isn't so high that it will matter
Ok ok
Thanks people! I feel already better coz I really had whm blues after few dungeons
So does anyone know the chance of
The Celestial Kimono remnant actually dropping? I know it's not traditionally rolled for most of the time
alright I'm confused with mooching, can you not do it with fish caught with lures maybe? I had done it once, just caught what I need and it's telling me I can't do it at this time.
Mooch only works with specific fishes
also for Mooch I, it has to be HQ
I'm trying for shadow catfish, finally caught a ala mhigan. ah, yeah it's not hq

you can cancel your current sub and then resub as whichever you want
don't have to cancel your current sub
oh
just click on credit card/crysta payment, select standard and go thru that process as normal
assuming you use credit/debit or crysta as your payment of choice
steam wallet, i believe should be the same process but not sure as i dont have steam
on the topic of subs, what happens when I buy the game and get off the trial, do I also need a subscription at that point?
starter/complete edition comes with 30 days free
so once those days expire, yes you will need a sub to play the game from there on out
ah k, so it's not quite immediate
hey, I changed my PC so my game settings are dead and I must re size and move everything etc.
is there any way to reduce skill infos size ?
like when I hover my skills the info bubbles are way too big
if you still have your old pc you can upload your settings to the cloud and download them on your new pc
I have it but I wiped all the data lol
if you have the info windows in a fixed location you can do it in hud layout
the hardest work will be skillbars but I dont care (except for crafter ๐ข )
if you have the info windows in a fixed location you can do it in hud layout
@remote lintel mmh what do you mean ?
im in the HUD settings and can't find info windows
hello! im just wondering what this quest sign meant
hello! im just wondering what this quest sign meant
@bold gyro repeatable quest
but blue should be for relic weapon
like farmable items for relics
if you got this in mor dhona
ah ok! That makes sense. Thanks so much!
any suggestion for Dark Knight lvl 30 besides Grit, aoe to every enemy and the 3hit combo? (noob tank here)
Aoe spam at 2+ mobs
in the settings you can choose to have the info windows in a fixed location on your screen instead of next to your cursor all the time @leaden ginkgo
Use defensive cooldowns one by one
I keep failing the 1st job quest and I dont know why
dont absorb all the black clouds
Dont take too many darkness stacks
Only take some
They increase how much damage you deal AND take
in the settings you can choose to have the info windows in a fixed location on your screen instead of next to your cursor all the time @leaden ginkgo
@remote lintel oh ok thx didnt know that, but can I juste re-size the info windows ? Im ok to have them near my mouse, they're just too big lol
And why did I fail the job quest? , I didnt die
not sure how to do it without the fixed windows
@wheat plume did you fail to protect someone?
Did the npc die
no
oh ok, ty !
They increase how much damage you deal AND take
@faint flare The Darkness buff says "damage taken si reduced"
@wheat plume Was there an objective the trainer told you? like use X skill, do Y combo, attack a specific target, stop someone from attacking something else? Unlock quest instances tend to spoonfeed you the base mechanics of the class.
what's the best place to farm wolves (for wolf fangs)?
What job quest, let's start there
@wheat plume Was there an objective the trainer told you? like use X skill, do Y combo, attack a specific target, stop someone from attacking something else? Unlock quest instances tend to spoonfeed you the base mechanics of the class.
@gritty oracle im doing the first job quest, and its like a tutorial
oh DRK 30?
What job quest, let's start there
@halcyon glen dark knight
can I fail if I do that even if I still have HP left?
thats what theyre trying to figure out
I found what looks like a walkthrough of the quest https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eUNTDrY8IkU
In this episode I do the level 30 Dark Knight Quest introduced in Final Fantasy XIV Heavensward.
Ishgardian Justice
Foundation (X:11 Y:12) NPC: Fray
Players must first complete the main scenario quest "Before the Dawn" and have also completed the quest "Our End"
Once you c...
after taking so much orbs my character crouches, but I still had hp
oh yeah too many orbs
just dont take that many
nom them less
crouching usually means you're exhausted or in a lot of pain
and at any rate beaten
That quest is to teach you that darkness is good in moderation
is it possible to get ran'jit's chest piece?
so maybe crouching in the mid of battle in this quest makes me fail
how many darkness buffs can I have before crouching?
@leaden ginkgo no
damn his outfit is badass
usually not - again, what exactly were you doing when the quest kicked you out or "duty failed" was displayed?
@remote lintel do you know of anything similar?
killing soldiers, but I exactly took 2 buffs at the same time (without dying by hp)
and then quest falied appeared
You were in combat?
yes
I see a lot of streamers cover up their chat windows and I got curious, is this something that's against TOS, or is it more of a courtesy thing?
2 orbs at once doesn't nuke you for no reason - is there any chance you timed out @wheat plume ?
!iglam Diamond Armor of Fending
2 orbs at once doesn't nuke you for no reason - is there any chance you timed out @wheat plume ?
@halcyon glen nop, this has 20 minutes, I was like 5 minutes in
!iglam Yama Haori of Striking
@leaden ginkgo off the top of my head
But I did it again and Im fine, but I couldnt stack so much darkness buffs like before
@remote lintel thx, might just get far eastern noble attire it looks kinda alike too
@left cedar more courtesy/personal privacy
is there a guide for lvl 30 dark knight? or just activating stance, aoe, 3-hit combo and darkness buff is enough?
at 2+ enemies do aoe
also it's a good place to put your webcam/dps meter
I'm asking because there are other actions and traits at lvl 30, I can read what they are used for, but I want to know when or when not to use them, because I want to enter dungeons to get used to tank, but i dont want to mess up
like what
do the omega quest line
Rampart, I entered lvl 16 dungeon and after using it every time I could, another player suggested me to save it for bosses
is savage v4 hard?
@wheat plume use it on cd
can we grind for the diamond armor trade in items unsynced?
Yes
yes
noice
But it's hard even unsynced
@wheat plume use it on cd
@remote lintel so use it every time its cd charges?
how long did it take you guys to get your diamond gear?
i dont have it 
@wheat plume basically
same with other defensives
you cycle them
or at least you need a full party who knows the first few mechanics of each phase
@halcyon glen does it drop a book for the trade in for armor everytime?
Yes
use PF
can i leave the area where i started the duty finder? I'm doing the It's probably pirates quest.
yes
the only way you can leave queue is if you want to leave or get disconnected or something
thanks.
anyone know if 5.4 is gonna have ishgard housing? or just new raids/gear update?
theres no mention of ishgard housing in 5.4
oof sad
you cycle them
@remote lintel so cycle it with reprisal for example? only use one at a time?
yes
There's no mention of housing at all
At level 30, Dark Knight has 2 defensive cooldowns: Rampart and Reprisal. If there are bad guys attacking you, you want one or the other if possible.
If anything ishgard housing, if it does come. Would be next expansion minimum
When should I use Unmend?
when theres a stray enemy
To pull mobs
oh okays. is there gonna be higher il gear for crafters and gatherers as welll
very unlikely
higher than the current il 490
Aethese will br BiS
Is there a way to turn off the light effects during battle? Like you know for example the light that surrounds dancer characters when they dance
oh so still the same'
White scrip gear next patch woll be worse than melded Aethese
Also skysteel tool upgrades probably
@lone spruce if theyre in your party you can set party effects to limited but idk if that turns off the lights
To pull mobs
@faint flare so thats the range attack I've seen other tanks use always to pull while running?
oh alright,. so theres just gonna be new raid gear
yes
Yes
cool
Dungeon Mid-Bosses it's FAR less important to use cooldowns on than the packs of random mobs you'll pick up
and new crafted gear for dom dow
take it from a healer
ooh i see. any idea on how much the new crafted gear sells during week1-week2?
its gonna be my first time at new patch :3
Depends on server, probably 2mil+ a piece
๐ฎ
A source I'm closed to who does day 1 hardcore estimated 50 mil a set day 1
on my server
if you wait like 12 hours
It will vary but it wont be cheap
big gil
Dungeon Mid-Bosses it's FAR less important to use cooldowns on than the packs of random mobs you'll pick up
@halcyon glen (sorry for asking dumb questions, langauge barrier, etc) so its more important to use cooldowns in mobs than in mid bosses, is that what you're saying?
Yes
yes
Bosses are pathetic as hell
trash hits harder than bosses
i guess materia price will go up as well
yep
time to stock some materia xd
Your next 2 cooldowns, fwiw, are Arm's Length at 32 (does not work on bosses at all lmao) and Shadow Wall at 38 (better Rampart)
