being a distraction preventing them from playing objective gaming
remote lintel
you trade them for regular glam prisms
wintry chasm
They are old
You used to have to use a specific type of prism that was the same as the crafting class connected to that gear and of the right grade
and they changed it so it's just "glamour prism"

Questions about The Orbonne Monastery - how to face the blank side of Mustadio's skill "analysis" . I am using keyboard and mouse, do i just use WASD to move or hold left click and rotate my camera? been tried (died) few times and still cant figure it out XD Thanks in advance!
remote lintel
you can rotate your character using right click and dragging
holding left click only rotates your camera
patent citrus
is that the sniper guy? i think you gotta match it with the direction of the shield
so make sure the open shield is facing the sniper
subtle cave
yes the sniper guy! he headshottteddd me many times XD
little swift
depends on your character movement settings too
remote lintel
right click works for both settings afaik
subtle cave
so right click and drag and move the blank side to him?
remote lintel
yes
subtle cave
ok, will try again! thanks!!
remote lintel
huh 
you should be able to drag your camera to the correct position and tap W then
if youre on legacy
little swift
legacy detaches the camera movement from mouse unless both of the mouse buttons are pressed
in which case you're auto-running as well
remote lintel
whats got you bamboozled
full trail
Reading what you are writing xD
gritty oracle
so in legacy right click+move mouse only rotates the character?
little swift
so in legacy right click+move mouse only rotates the character?
no it only moves the camera
crimson crystal
Questions about The Orbonne Monastery - how to face the blank side of Mustadio's...
also, in case you didn't notice, I believe the debuff you get says which direction is "open" so that helps
gritty oracle
how th are you guys doing this
patent citrus
if you using legacy movement, just spam w/a/s/d and see which one is facing the sniper š
little swift
you may have to refresh the discord client first
full trail
right click the message
Boom
patent citrus
bad idea though
gritty oracle
wait so both left and right click only rotates the camera? How do you rotate the character only (besides wasd)?
remote lintel
you cant on legacy
remote lintel
both left and right click will make the character run
fast talon
is legacy the one where you walk super slow when going backwards?
full trail
Is legacy a difficulty?
gritty oracle
no Rudolf that's standard
remote lintel
legacy and standard are the 2 control schemes
fast talon
ah, i prefer legacy then lol
full trail
Ah
obsidian patio
If youāre looking at servers then Legacy means a world that existed in 1.0
remote lintel
legacy plays more like a standard 3rd person game and standard plays more like a traditional mmo
obsidian patio
It doesnāt mean anything special besides that
little swift
legacy has teh benefit on making you run in every direction
regardless of which way your camera is facing
fast talon
makes it easier to avoid aoes imo
little swift
works just fine
fast talon
also when you have to turn around from a gaze, you can just use WASD
remote lintel
its easier to attack while avoidinig gaze on standard
little swift
its not any easier or harder
in the sense that its preference
but the number of keypresses does increase
subtle cave
yes i am using legacy on PC, so just spam w/a/s/d XD
remote lintel
on a controller the jiggle method looks harder

hey guys question i know a guy who hasnt bought anything on his account and hes only doing free trial atm he made his account through square site
but he wants to buy expac on steam when its on sale
can he do that
or is he locked to square
full trail
Would already be beginning my ffxiv adventure. But hungry so making dinner.
remote lintel
@strong hemlock he can upgrade from the windows free trial to steam full game
strong hemlock

okk
the account transfers fine
its when he makes his first purchase
hes locked
glacial isle
only question is why Steam is PC only
remote lintel
when he tries to buy the game on steam?
strong hemlock
no he hasnt yet
full trail
Does ffxiv have physical copies?
strong hemlock
im making sure he doesnt screw up
fast talon
i can imagine steam if its cheaper there due to regional stuff, though i know ffxiv isnt available on steam for me
remote lintel
@full trail yes but i think its just a box with a code

@strong hemlock what is he locked out of
bright badger
What are the little diamonds in BRDs little guage for simple mode

reportoir stacks i think

depending on your song

I need to understand this class
its reportoir, which i cant for the life of me spell, which is a different thing for each song as well
bright badger
Hmm
remote lintel
repertoire
zinc orbitBOT
bright badger
I boosted BRD which is why i didnt know
remote lintel
read the tooltips first
fast talon
the quick and dirty of it is you have a 20% (40% if level 64+) chance to get a stack of repertoire when your DoTs do damage while a song is active, each stack does something different per song.
remote lintel
the songs are like different "modes" for bard
and the proc depends on which "mode" youre on
fast talon
guess it should be said that wanderer's minuet is the only one where the stacks play an active role
wait never mind thats not true
i only meant in the UI
since mage's ballad reportoire isnt reflected in its ui
manic flare
is the exp from the GC turn in randomly generated? because the exp i get from the botany turn in is much higher than the miner turn in, even tho my miner is at a higher level

okay fair enough that's true
strong hemlock
he says its not letting him go to full versuon on steam
remote lintel
take the CD key he got from steam and click enter registration code
strong hemlock
he hasnt bought it yet hes scared to over this
due to him living in turkey and exchange rates and all that
strong hemlock
no if thats how its supposed to look then everything should be fine
so steam will become unblurred when he would enter the code?
remote lintel
it should just upgrade his account to a full account on steam

I just bought some stuff off the mogstation but there was an error. According to mogstation, there was no purchase and the items are still in my shopping cart, but according to my online bank, there was a preliminary charge made to my card. Any idea what's happened here?

where cna i find memoria miseria normal? š¤
i remember doing it when i unlocked it
obsidian patio
There is no normal version
patent citrus
whattt
obsidian patio
āNormal modeā was the story instance
left moth
@potent shale the background bird/tether mechanic is similar to suzi norm but a little less reaction time (move during the explosion animation to avoid snapshotting into the next explosion) and goes in a set of 8, with 2 main patterns. the tether part is an aid to see if will move clock or anticlockwise in the 2 sets of 8 . forced march + colours is mostly figuring out the explosion order since it's down to 2 colours (or can just wing it as long as the forced march is done correctly with enouhg room to not walk off the platform)

How do I find my retainer
I dispatched him to the city Iām in
Still canāt figure out how to sell stuff
rigid dust
your retainers are at any summoning bell, usually in the trading areas of cities c:
cold meadow
No clue what a summoning bell is
cold meadow
Where is it in ulādah
left moth
any retainer bell to summon them (then 3th option to sell things in inventory or armory chest)
remote lintel

rigid dust
ohhh gotcha, tysm!!

buddy system still works (puke a fisk on a mob, have someone not in party kill). the job swap exploit still works technically but wouldn't recommend it (need to use a skill with a cast time longer than regular gcd)
faint flare
They said solo
plain python
how long it takes per retainer venture?
rigid dust
still good advice all the same c: thanks for the help!
faint flare
It says on the venture...normal ones are usually 1hour and there an 18 hour one
plain python
so you basically just do 18 hours one?
faint flare
If you're lazy and dont check them often
left moth
usually 18 hours but if you just want to level a retainer fast 1 hour quick ventures is best given a steady diet of venture coins
remote lintel
if youre trying to level them you do 1 hour ventures
and then 18 hr when you log off
rigid dust
imagine logging off
boreal storm
So like squadrons
remote lintel
quick ventures arent good for leveling
little swift
yes they are
plain python
all classes for retainers share the same leveling progress?
little swift
but there are also 1 hour exploration ventures and such
that you want
because they're level range based
and retainers level individually
manic flare
oh u mean for the gatherer reatiners
little swift
there are hunting ones for the combat retainers

should i be suspicious of parties that sound like they want to sell me a used car
cause its either that or random Blue Mages doing random duties
or the 18+ RPs
faint flare
Yes, those people are usually selling content clears for money
Be it gil or real money
glacial isle
why would you pay real money when there's tons of people running these
faint flare
Because
A) people who buy clears are fucking garbage at the game and cant clear more than dungeons
B) Higher content like Savage and Ultimates are harder and people prefer set groups for them (savage is Puggable in PF but mileage will vary)
C) Depending on the content, not always tons of people doing it, like BLU raid achievements etc
glacial isle
is that why there's always "Blue Mage run"
faint flare
Normal blue runs are for learning spells,, since its guaranteed to learn spells when synced
But with whay BlU is seen as a meme by many, there's not too big of a interest and people who did have interest have done it already
glacial isle
removing the ones i can't do this is my PF

Especially since anyone at 80 can solo arr stuff
agile night
can someone help me get a better grasp of what these numbers mean? damage seems self explanatory, bigger is better. delay I imagine smaller is better, time between attacks. but I'm not sure about auto attack, or why the right one is bigger.
boreal storm
Locked ones go to the end anyway, so I donāt bother filtering them out
faint flare
You can basically ignore the last two numbers
They barley mean anything important
But basically
Damage is damage, increases ALL forms of damage and healing you do
Auto attack is auto attack damage basically
Delay is auto attack delay but you auto attack basically every 3s so doesn't really matter
zinc orbitBOT
agile night
okay, so it's just a trait of the weapon, not a product of the damage and delay?
auto attack I mean
faint flare
Everyone auto attacks when they're in rangr and not casting
And autos happen every 3s ish
Numbers go up naturally
cedar compass
Is it worth it to send in the 18h venture my retainer if he's already 80

Need some help. My brother meets all the requirements for the free login campaign but once he put his credentials the launcher says he needs a sub to keep playing
remote lintel
did he buy the game on steam or windows and it's he trying to log in to steam or windows

Windows and using the windows launcher
remote lintel
and he's sure he didn't log in to the game for at least 30 days
jade moat
Hasn't logged in since Sept 19th

When did his sub expire?
zinc orbitBOT
jade moat
All we get is the launcher saying "You don't have a license for this platform or sub has expired"
And we logged onto his Mogstation to make sure
remote lintel
can he screenshot his entire mog station page

Where did you download the launcher from?

It was already in his downloads folder, prob from 2 months back when he started playing
jade moat
"Another instance of ffxiv is already running please end it and try again"
remote lintel
did he delete the other launcher using control panel
zinc orbitBOT
jade moat
Uhm no I don't think so? I remembered he uninstalled it awhile back using the Windows Uninstaller
remote lintel
go into control panel and uninstall the launcher he was using before
then download the launcher from the site i linked
jade moat
Oh man does that mean we need to redownload everything again?
remote lintel
you can save the game files and copy them over
jade moat
How do we do that?
remote lintel
go into the game files and take them out and put them somewhere else
jade moat
Where do we search for the game files?
remote lintel
program files (x86) > square enix > ff14 a realm reborn
i would also go into documents > my games > ff14 a realm reborn and save those files as well since those are the hotbars and ui stuff
and im assuming he probably didnt back them up
jade moat
Ok I was gonna say that we only see my games > ff14 a realm reborn
Oh ok we found program files x86
Ok we found the "game" folder do we just copy that? Cause I see a "boot" folder as well
remote lintel
everything
jade moat
Can we JUST copy? Or do we need to paste them somewhere or else? Cause we also have a bit of a storage issue
fresh lodge
You need to paste it before deleting
remote lintel
you can just transfer them somewhere like a usb drive or something
you dont have to copy and then have 2 games on your computer
jade moat
Ok so thankfully we resolved the storage issue real quick, I'm copying and pasting the files. After thats done what do I do again?
remote lintel
go into control panel and uninstall the launcher

abstract veldt
Hey Guys I am curious if there is any big benefits to starting fishing since I did some fishing up to lvl 20 but I am wondering whats in it for me when i reach lvl 80
gloomy mortar
Is the Guide to Fun Quest for Make it Rain repeatable forever?
faint flare
Until the event ends
gloomy mortar
So it doesnāt change? Same 3 questions
outer plank
@abstract veldt not that many, ofc you can probably carve out your own niche fishing but since fishing really only majorily affects the culinary job in terms of materials used, its the least useful of the gatherers
you get alot more mileage out of leveling botany/mining because they affect the vast majority of the 7 other crafters in terms of materials
but it will be nice to have to max when a patch day comes around and you can actually get the fish required to make the new raid/crafting food, thats when its lucrative
even then, the 4 or so other components to craft the food is probably gonna come from botany or alchemy
so yeah, fishing is the odd man out, work on all the botany/mining first, probably put fsh on the back burner because it doesn't give you any immediate benefits at 80
potent shale
Oh yeah true
Fishing is weird
But at least if you want to go autopilot it would let you
abstract veldt
All right thanks @outer plank I have been enjoying it so I guess I can just do it whenever I am bored

weirdly enough I got more coms as dps than tank

I'm trying to find skybuilders' electrum ore but having trouble.. Looking online says upper la noscea, but not finding any. I've checked diadem but all the nodes i find are normal skybuilders' ore or skybuilders' titanium ore(which I have no recipes for either of the two?). Any ideas?
proud willow
is it a component for a Season 1/2 recipe?
twilit arch
phase 1 and phase 2 materials are no longer in the game, except for phase 2 expert materials
do not bother with phase 1 or 2 recipes
just do phase 3
fringe vortex
I don't know what that means..
outer plank
@fringe vortex they also no longer appear in the overworld
twilit arch
you need to gather items required for the restoration 3 crafts
outer plank
@fringe vortex are you using the collectable turn in guy?
twilit arch
which are all in diadem

do not try to craft any of the recipes listed under restoration 1 or 2
fringe vortex
I was looking at resoration 3, one sec
outer plank
screen shot it
zinc orbitBOT
fringe vortex
This is what I need
oh...
Well now I have a new question
what is the approved grade 3 stuff?
twilit arch
materials gathered from diadem and approved
fringe vortex
So if I have the titanium someone approves it?
twilit arch
You gather the raw materials in diadem, once you exit it you can get it approved by the npc next to the guy you talk to to enter diadem
you need a stack of 10 to be approved
fringe vortex
Yeah I mistook the wrong grade in my list
open rivet
do not try to craft any of the recipes listed under restoration 1 or 2
phase 2 items still are available and have achievements tho :C

I noted that expert p2 materials are still in

missed that, sorry

Yay :) Thank you guys
I was mistaken by the electrum it seems, stupid of me, but I thought it would still be available and needed to level up the grades

Sounds like your not confirming your target?
Do you use KB+M or controller?
Well
Again, do you use KB+M or controller?
because tbh I don't remember how to do it with KB+M
Oh looking at your screenshot it looks like controller
You can change some options to change how this works but generally when you're targetting an enemy you want to press x to confirm it
If you don't you'll do an action against that target and then snap back to the person you locked on on
Which sounds like what's happening
It's not the most clear thing

Why is Determination better for DRG than Direct Hit Rate?
abstract veldt
I should probably buy them
raw solstice
DET isn't better than DH for DRG, they're roughly on par for stat priority, with the choice between dh and det in any given case generally being based around stat tiers and overall multiplier when looking at your stats as a whole for the set
tender meadow
help
wheat plume
DET isn't better than DH for DRG, they're roughly on par for stat priority, with...
People tells me I should buy Shire Pankratiast instead of Shire Custodian, and the only difference is that Pankratiast has Det+57 and Custodian has DHR+59
green grail
isn't shire pathfinder the drg set
also at level 60 the secondaries don't really even matter
raw solstice
for left side yeah. Right side, the old melee accessories are "pankratiast" and the tank accessories are "custodian"
raw solstice
since they changed tank accessories it's really whatever for what you use between those, on STR melee dps
wheat plume
But pankratiast has DET and Custodian has DHR, so which one should I use?
raw solstice
it won't make any bit of noticeable difference at all, flip a coin
patent citrus
why not buy all slaying, lol
wheat plume
What's the effect of DHR and DET in melee dps?
raw solstice
there are no slaying accessories for that set @patent citrus . The translated ones to get would be pankratiast but stats-wise technically the tank ones might be better depending on piece. But it's so excessively minimal that it won't matter in the slightest
wheat plume
I know det means more damage and DHR menas more Direct Hits, that its like critical hit, but how does it really works?
raw solstice
det is an overall damage multiplier. Direct hit has a higher multiplier, but it's just a chance to happen (the chance increases as you get more dh)
crit is like dh but the multiplier also increases as you get more crit, which means it scales a lot better at higher amounts
patent citrus
just get the pakratiast imo š¤
raw solstice
in that case I'd technically vouch for the other one (probably) being marginally better actually but not noticeably better
again, kind of thing where it'd depend on where your other stats are but minmaxing particularly short of max level has such infinitesimally small value
it's thankfully not something you really run into later on, anyways
wheat plume
crit is like dh but the multiplier also increases as you get more crit, which me...
is that the only difference? I've read that critical hit happens less frequently, but Im not sure
raw solstice
at the same amount of stat, dh will be more likely to occur than crit. Which means that at particularly low amounts of stat dh can have a bit more value on average than crit
but again, since more crit also increases the multiplier, it ends up being a very strong stat once you start getting some of it

various mob drops that you can buy from each zone end up being used in some crafts, often in bulk, and can sell well. Check your local marketboard to see what might sell well for you (or if you might want to pick them up to craft stuff, yourself)

crit multiplyer has a time before resets if I stop fighting, or something like that?
raw solstice
no, it's not time based at all
wheat plume
So i just keep getting stronger all the time?
raw solstice
multiplier is like. Let's say it's a 1.25 multiplier that you get from crit. Any damage you do, if you crit, you do [damage] x 1.25, instead of just [damage]
with more crit stat, your chance to crit on any given attack is increased, and so is that multiplier. So instead of [damage] x 1.25, you might have [damage] x 1.3

Eh leves are pretty meh for leveling anything. I recommend ocean fishing instead. You get up to 5-6 levels out of a single 21 minute trip, more if you double dip.
wheat plume
And how does direct hit rate affects the probability/frecuency of doing a direct hit?
gritty oracle
It's tiered, like every X DH stat equals .1% chance
raw solstice
hmm. I mean, I'll link this page for now, but it's only valid at level 80. Scaling is different per level: https://allaganstudies.akhmorning.com/stats/dh/

you contact them on discord and they pilot your acc for clears in exchange for payment

"Boosts for gil" is fine
However if they want you to contact them on discrod I can guarantee you they ask for real money

yea but i reckon the boosted person must be semi-competent to even be carried that way
raw solstice
sales where you keep the guy alive are exceedingly rare
usually not worth the time

well you should only upgrade when you need to meet your quest requirement..
but nothing wrong with overgearing I think
sand grove
Yeah I just figured if I could do that in a cost effective way then I could run the quests on something that could use the gear/exp rewards. Or would it be better to just hold off and get gear for it via post ShB content?

each expansion is like its own game

hw and sb are good.
and short*
while arr is bloated w boring stuff.

20 hours to lv 25 and played story to lvl 15.

maybe less

besides running around and talking to people abt pointless things.

And by the time the MSQ is lv50 you have like 15-20 fun wins

and it took me around 15 hours.

Dungeons
And each expansion adds a few more
After job hits lv30
The skills open up a lot

if you dont care about story its up to you but 75% of this game is story and even if you skip youll be forced to play shb story which you wont understand anything at all at that point
its up to you

I would say that youāre so early you havenāt experienced much of the game
