There's a level 80 one,
Ah
the lvl 80 one isnt a job quest
dragon sound is the last skill one
gone but not forgiven is the lvl 80 one
does ffxiv ever go on sale
it was on sale like 3 days ago or something
really? crap
yeah lmao
Ended on the 2nd/3rd depending on timezone
hopefully it will go again before christmas
checked up, ended
@toxic falcon Dragoon's Fate is the last quest for HW. The next set won't unlock until you reach Stormblood. Although I will say that the only really important one is the level 70 quest, which gives you Life of the Dragon. You get all of your 60-68 skills without job quests.
i'd watch 3rd party sites throughout the month, newegg had an XIV sale on 12/24/19
steam complete version & shadowbringers also went on sale around christmas last year
yeah im trying to get shb for my brother
good chance the squenix store will start a holiday sale in general in ~2 weeks
you know the bar with bosses' actions? is there a way to make it bigger? i cant find it in the hud settings
20€ complete edition was nice
I don't think you can make separate bars size different
click the target bar in hud settings and click the cog icon
oh
@gloomy ice so from lv60 to 68 all new skills are NOT from quests right?
Correct
Pog in deed
Still do your job quests
this emote is pretty cursed
I just finished them for HW
For the story and because you'll need them for the level 70 job quest anyway
Yeah definitely. But it can't be used as glam if the level is higher than what you've got. @toxic falcon
Uh oh
Your level syncs to 80 when in HoH 50-60 right?
Because the stuff I have is better then that stuff
Tortured memories of the dying are from gold ranking fates in Sea of Clouds and Coerthas Western Highlands. @stable hinge
Your level caps at 70 in HoH @leaden ginkgo
Oh if you have better stuff then, yeah, you can use the Dragonlancer as a normal glam set @toxic falcon
Ah, the level 60 relic armor
Job gear is usually the stuff in trailers
yeah lol
all the gear in trailers is in the game afaik
All except for the 1.0 trailers
well yeah
Well technically you can wear that archer outfit if you brought that over from 1.0 right?
(I forgot to unreply)
I'm pretty sure the outfit isn't even in the game files
Because its not the BRD af set
Yoshi mentioned that set was never in 1.0
Thanks @gloomy ice
if i'm turning in the For Want of a Memory quest, and i have like, 26 of one memory, do i get to keep those for my next relic or do they get destroyed or somethin~? o:
You keep them
Any excess is kept, yeah
awesome!! tysm~
- If you started on a new server (not preferred), don't be on the trial when you hit level 30, or you lose out on 1 mil gil bonus.
aaaaaaand I just lost 1M
the 1 mil gil bonus is only for new worlds
There's no new servers atm
Good to know
Hey can someone explain to me how extensive the character creation for the game is?
thought i might come here for answers to my questions
just try it yourself?
It's not on the level of Black Desert Online, but you can choose lots of stuff
Well I'm tempted to play the game for most of the reason why i play MMOs is for the other stuff
It's in between none and a ton
hello if i buy the game and a new expansion comes out do i get it for free or i have to purchase that expansion
Can you make your character have horns/wings type accessories?
In terms of outfits, there's glamour so that you can use any armor piece in the game
horns are headgear
You have to purchase expansions
the only wings we have in the game at the moment are attached to a torso piece from the cash shop
ic ty
That's a thing with most games tho
got it, thank you
With every single game that has huge expansions**
there is a horned race called the Au Ra
Expansions go on sale for like 50% off fairly often after they've been out for a while
but the horn types are connected to the face type
yeah and that sucks
And to my knowledge all of the expansions excluding the current one are included with base game
are they difficult to obtain? also are they "glamours" or actual gear
@frozen girder no
Really?
Do they keep it as 2 expansions total to buy tho?
no, HW was part of shb before
If i wanted to create a character with those two looks, would if be difficult to obtain them?
they changed it with the expansion of the free trial
Basically when you buy an expansion you get the older ones
Yeah the free trial changes are recent
Confusion
@solar cairn which 2 looks?
horns and wings
when a new expan comes out, the previous one is taken off the market
It's hard to say if when the next expansion launches Stormblood will be included in the free trial but definitely leaning to "no"
So they don't try and even it out half and half?
@solar cairn like i said the only wings in the game now are from a glamour set from the mog station
and horns usually arent hard to get
depending on the specific one
!iglam angelic wings
these and the black version are the only wings we have
do the wings come with the white/black robes or can i only have the wings themselves
its part of the robe
there are horns at the gold saucer, right ?
hmm so the wings themselves can't be apart huh?
got it
No because there aren't "back" slots
They go on the top slot so they are part of a gear
we're going to get a wing glamour thing but its going to be the same as parasols
Wait we are?
Oh I see
Yeah. Except they're probably going to be treated as a mount like the umbrellas are and thus not able to be equipped in combat.
^
That's p epic
i would post a pic but cal doesnt want to see 5.4 stuff 
what's interesting for this seasonal events (Yokai watch)?
minions, weapons, mounts?
Minions and themed weapons for every combat class plus three mounts if you collect everything. It might take some time however and there's less than a week left before it ends.
its a bad time to grind it now
took me like 4 days of just grinding and i hated it
ok, ill skip it then.
Better now than any other time since it's going away on the 8th
7th, technically due to maintenance.
the first mount isnt that hard to get
Right Eton good point
but i was going for the couch
I only got the first mount, don't have the energy for them all

so if I buy ff14 on steam i have to pay for the regular game and the expansion but when I buy it off the windows launcher I only have to pay for the game?
no
the only difference between windows and steam is where youll buy the game + dlc
they both require the base game + dlc
anyone who resubbed through steam wallet after taking a break, how long does it take for steam to process it after renewing the sub?
If my random assortment of RDM gear without melds have 1302 sps and 2.41 GCD speed... I still just avoid spellspeed right?
I should not try to meld to reach the next tier?
@leaden ginkgo that shows how much time is left on the buff that Standard Step gives you c:
You avoid spell speed whenever you have the option to when looking at equal ilvl gear
Yeah... like if I already have a lot of spell speed... Do not meld any more?
On cooldown
Like the next sps tier is only 1 materia away...
The moment you can use it. Use standard step
But on the other hand, does 1 tier of spellspeed actually make any difference dps wise?
By Standard Step, you mean the full Standard --> 2 random procs --> Finishing Step combo?
Yes
@ripe hound you dont meld sps on rdm
and yes gremlin
if you aren't bis, you're going to have extraneous spell speed
don't try to meld more of it
you just have to accept that DPS loss of having spell speed instead of crit/dhit
ilevel is more important than correct substat
Once you hit 70 on DNC, I'm guessing you should refresh Technical Steps combo on cooldown instead of Standard Step?
You do both
you do both
Techincal stacks with standard
So you standard step then Techincal
Along with devilment
So you basically refresh the level 70 opener throughout the fight? 
Basically...all DNCs cooldowns naturally line up
So you have the same burst every 2mins
With devilment, Techincal step and later flourish
you also want to stockpile some feathers for that burst window
Okay one last question, after pre-pull & doing ur opener, you are supposed to play whack-a-mole with what procs until Standard Step is off cooldown, then do Standard Step combo then move over to Technical Step combo, then go back to whack-a-mole & repeat?
Just making sure I'm getting this

Standard step stuff > Techincal step stuff > basic combos and procs
Whenever you want
Fcs are primarily social
And some buffs based on whatever they're running
ohhh ok
also what are company seals? im trying to do the my little chocobo quest : (
sorry if stupid question
theyre basically special currency for buying stuff from your grand company
arcanist uses them
yeh just buy the plushie
theres little plushie minions of them if you buy the irl plushies
but since you are in EU, you gotta import it from JP/US
EU getting fucked over everything
first of all we don't get the FE1 Switch collector
now we can't get plushies
what is that ESCROQUERIE
yeah I was gonna say
please let me know how it works haha
wanna know from personal experience
i mean the process to get the new code
You just have to log in on the square enix store with your account
And link it to the mogstation account
You can't get a new code if you didn't log on when you bought something
ooo how did you get the code? same as the game?
yeh make sense, my EU account doesn't work
even if i tried to login to NA store
or will the code also be sent to our email?
Idk if I want to buy
Nooo
hey i keep getting an error on the mog station when i try to buy something for another char
Error Code: i2501
but im okay when i try to buy it for my main
yeh
that will fix it?
it might
its not assured since i2501 is a broad error that sadly is not consistent for everyone
other suggestions are to try a different browser
This is probably a stupid question but for Battle on the Bridge, will your weapons truly be forfeit if you wipe?
I don't want that
im currently at levin an impression raid how many more raids should i do before i get to heavensward
no, riuga
I want an actual Carbuncle minion :(
i told you they were plushie minions
@twilit arch still doesnt work
Then you have to contact support
There isn't any i think
I dun wanna have a plushie 😭
there is no regular carbuncle minion
it was an order bonus from what I can find
just level an ACN :')
SMN is fun to play, you'll enjoy it :D
egi glamours are basically used to change your egi's look
that way Ifrit egi can become a ruby carbuncle
or to troll your raid group
i think you can actually change any egi to any glamour
no
so your titan can be ruby and garuda topaz
yeh
What's a egi?
i changed all mine to topaz 😂
oh welly es
egi is the upgraded carbuncle
garuda glamour on titan xd
you can change it to any of the three carbuncle colours
egis are explained in the summoner quests
but you can't make garuda look like titan
im still mad my garuda-egi isnt cute
no but i wasnt saying that at all! :0
Do you need to unlock the egi glamour?
you can put the colors out of order if youre a real psychopath
yes
you need to be lvl 50 to do the unlock quest
you get a quest once you unlock SMN disregard me i suck cocks
i wouldn't recommend that as you're new
I'm joking :3
consider it smth to look forward to :)
the chad xi summoner versus the virgin xiv summoner
I'm only gonna allow myself to buy level packs after my main is level 80
can you stop with the extra comments, kiyo
besides, @frozen girder you'll start with a carbuncle pet as an ACN so you can enjoy him for quite some time until you'll get egis ^^
Wait what
you use carbuncles as an arcanist
Omg
at what level do you unlock kenki and sen?
That's all I needed to hear
arcanist the class uses carbuncles, then when you become a summoner you upgrade them to primal egis
Where is the arcanist guild
52 for kenki, sen starts at 30
arcanist + carbuncles > summoner + egis
and when you get to 50 you can get that quest snowryn mentioned that switches them back to carbuncles
aww man
limsa
limsa lominsa :)
I'm not gonna be using egis till 50 looks like :3
summoner + actual summon >>>
it was meant to be an arrow
Im so jealous, must I go to JP/ import to get my topaz carbuncle minion 
you actually have to use them lol
you get the egis over the course of your job quest
I was joking xd
oh
Carbuncle "upgrade" to egis but then you can glam them back into carbuncles at 50
no
So I'll just use carbuncle while I'm solo
i mean
no, you use it all the time
you wont be able to use a carby until you unlock the glam
sure
So you're gonna be that person in level 30+ dugeons without their job stone
something you can do is - you unlock the egis one by one, so if you're very set on carbuncle you can use the egi that you didn't obtain yet. i think the order was ifrit (new skill) -> titan (switches topaz) -> garuda (switches emerald). so you can use emerald carbuncle until it switches to garuda and by then you'll be close to level 50 and the glamor skill.
not like you'll be using titan anyway
titan is nice for solo boss fates sometimes
well you get skills from job quests, so waiting isn't ideal
Nonono
level 30-50 isn't that long anyway so you won't be using egis too long lol
Imma just not use arcanist till I can buy the level skip
_>
I'll play Black Mage ._.
if you actually want to play the summoner job quests you could just buy scholar instead
i mean, that also works - you can chill with carbuncle in cities and fight as blm
some people never learn summoner anyway because they just play scholar
also that's assuming that the person leveling would suffer from Too Many Buttons syndrome
I suffer from that
they suddenly get the class with a lot of buttons, not knowing what to do with each of them
then do not jumpskip, it'll make summoner look awful and you'll just not play it
XD
It’s taking so much self restraint to not skip ahead to play the Nier raids sooner
you would still have to play the shb story
the nier raids arent that amazing, so dont stress out
Okay :3
^ you wouldnt know who people were, and youd have no idea what buttons did what
the arr story is aslog but its worth leveling yourself and learning your class
I want to have a pod minion >_>
Because you would run content with people who would get mad at you for being bad
AND a jump skipper
just take your time ok?
it's more fun that way
^its fairly easy to tell who jump skippers are cuase they play AWFUL
like, way worse than normal
its a bit different for arcanist
because you could just level scholar to 70 and then unlock summoner then
and it would basically be the same thing
ik some people actually bother to learn their class after jump skipping, but those people normally are good at their other class(es) and know not to be a shitter
but those are erally really really rare
how do you open the mask in ironworks helmet?
like we arent gonna stop you but we really recommend against it
most classes arent that difficult to learn after some practice
/visor @teal dragon
thing is msot jump skippers dont even put that much effort in
^ or open the character menu and press the third button on the left side of your character portrait
I mean
I'm not planning on jumping xd
They play awful and are full scaeva + another ring i forgot it's name
Tho I wish I could buy the 500k gil that comes with the jump skips
alliance
thats a moopd kiyo, lets take it to gen before kael yells at us again
yeaAh
thats not really worth 27$
xd
Buying gil sucks
once you get to late game they kind throw gil atyou
don't buy gil
and crafting is an option
once you finish the story you'll end up with a couple million assuming you dont spend on a lot of junk
I'm broke ._.
or just look through the mb for stuff that usually expensive but the seller forgot to lower the price
what part are you at in the story
I just finished the ||treaty with the fairies||
I had to go spend my money a few times in order to lower it when i was on free trial
the sylphs?
Yah
thats pretty normal
if you don't spend on junk you'll be rich

Just simply save and you will build the small fortune
Can anyone ELI5 RDM for me? (I get the dualcasting) Have looked at Balance and Akhmorning and I'm still slightly confused. Why do I want to cast Black/White skills together and not alternate? Do I want one to be 30 higher than the other for some reason? Do I want to melee at 80/80 or do I try to get closer to 100/100?
you do alternate between black/white mana without letting one get too high?
there isnt much reason to cap to 100/100 afaik
You dony want the difference between the manas to be over 30 otherwise you're penalised
Well, like, looking at the opener, I do accel, then hard cast Verthunder, dualcast Veraero.... then Verfire > Verthunder
- Roughly alternating is fine. You generally want to use casts to boost the lower mana level one. In the case of an opener, it's built around specifically getting a certain amount before melee combo
- 30 higher, no. You want a slight disparity if you're at a higher level and have veryholy/verflare
- You don't really want to be at 100/100. Being over 80/80 isn't really bad at all though
If you get a proc, you use it
why not Verfire in to Veraero?
Because you already have a aero/stonr proc
Thus would overwrite it
As remember, acceleration forces procs on the next 3 casts
The thunder and aero would both give you their procs
So.if you did fire into aero, you would waste the Stone proc you received
You do thunder cause you JUST spent the proc
And therefore wont waste the new proc
It looks like
acceleration > Precast Thunder (Procs fire) > Dualcast Aero (procs stone, 1 acceleration left) > Fire (fire proc goes) > Thunder (fire proc back)
So ok, mid rotation say I get a stone proc, which I use to dualcast aero, then get another stone proc...at what point do I do stone > thunder
When you need more black mana
And have no fire proc
Usually doing 3 of the same type spells back to back will generally put you close to the Penalised differences
Also heard I wanna use jolt as little as possible, should I be using something else if I don't have a fire/stone proc?
Swiftcast
Swiftcasting Thunder/Aero helps you to fix your mana and skip a jolt cast while trying to fish for another proc
notably, weaving swift after a dualcasted veraero/verthunder, of course
Not much of a gameplay question, more curious about the state of the community at the time, is there any particular reason DoH class quests for SB are a lot easier compared to ARR/HW? Did people complain about them or something or did SE just decide to streamline it for no reason.
The last HW quest wanted you to get the master book to be able to craft the required item, which irked a lot of people
And master books back then were like 1200 or 1600 scrips
is thaumaturge suitable for beginners?
Yes
It was my starting job and while the rotation changes a lot, it’s pretty gradual besides the jump at 60
its a bit confusing to level but the combos themselves arent hard
and by a bit i mean
people get confused a lot by it
what do you mean with that the rotation changes? due to patches and changing the strengths and weaknesses?
!faq blmleveling
like
New spells change the rotation
the rotation itself changes as you level
As you level
ah oke
Like blizzard 2 being replaced by freeze
is there a guide with the rotation per level?
the pic above
Just posted
ah i see
Oh damn didn't even think about that considering they're pretty cheap now. Interesting.
For the most part yeah
for single target
ah i see
which data center is the best for groups
!faq worldpick
You can play on any world on any datacenter within FFXIV. Aside from the languages spoken, the physical location of the servers, and the status of each world, there are no major differences.
The majority of content is cross-world, with the exception of Free Companies, Linkshells, and restrictions when visiting other worlds.
If you don't mind where you play, choose a world that is Preferred or New for character creation bonuses. Check world status by using !status <world name> or via the Lodestone. For information about the status types, use !faq worldtype.
Notable worlds:
- Balmung & Mateus (Role-playing)
- Tonberry & Kujata (Large amount of Oceanic players)
- Moogle (Large amount of French players)
- Shiva (Large amount of German players)
Tldr: all are good, crystal is slightly more rp but its fine
okay ty ty : p oh and if i wanted a transfer is that possible?
oo okay thank you for help
Just want to point out that Crystal is def not bad but it's not slightly less than Aether it's more like less than half the raiders on Aether or Primal
You wont be barred from content regardless where you go due to lack of people
Crystal is more about static groups than pugging (public pre made groups) from what I’ve heard
oo so if i like raids i shouldn't pick crystal
No
You won't but I do know those that have decided to transfer away from Crystal because of the raiding population. This is second hand of course not personal experience so take it w/ a grain of salt
It basically just means you’re more likely to find pre-made groups or people recruiting for them
oo okay thank you so much : )
I've had experience on both Crystal & Aether, I'd say Aether has a larger raiding population than Crystal from what I've seen

I just finished amaraut. Is it recommended to just finish the rest when I get a long time block to play continuously?
sure moosh
if you start playing you might not want to stop
also theres a lot of cutscenes
#kupo-bot-spam
😭
what are you trying to do
@remote lintel I still havent gotten any emails for upcoming payment and payment is due on the 5th. Did I do something wrong when I canceled one accounts subscription. I usually get the emails on the 1st
youll prob get an email on the 3rd or 4th
Thanks for RDM info, was in dungeon couldn't respond\
Are tuskiyomi weapons from extreme still worth alot of gil?
yes
About how much rn?

depends on your data center
you can't sell the extreme weapons
What are the dark-souls ish gear set?
Why not I be seeing them on mb
I like both sets
So I just started and saw u need to hold ctrl+1 to use a skill in that hotbar slot. I tried to switch it from ctrl+1 to One of my middle mouse buttons +1 but it wouldnt work anyone know how to do that?
system > keybind
Its not a modifier key thats why tou cant do that
Your modifiers on a keyboard are ctrl shift and alt
yeah, you can't use your mouse buttons as modifier keys for skills unfortunately
though some mouse do have software that can make their side buttons act like alt/ctrl/shift, i have a friend that does that
wouldn't be surprised if you could find some third party software that does that online as well
i personally use a third party software (x-mouse button control), if your mouse have a specific software you can probably set it there too
autohotkey didn't work sadly
Is bozja unlocked through post msq?
yes
Okay thanks. 5.3 or 5.2?
Oh wow okay, well I have to do that first then.
whats the next easiest way to gear up lv 80 if I dont want to spend on neo-ishgardian
farm eden verse
Farm eden and nier raids foe gear when you get the ilvl to enter them
Use the tomes gotten to help boost ilvl
The resistance relic also gives a very good starting weapon
Is there any limit to the amount of times a party can spawn the map dungeons per day, or does every map have the same rng chance of spawning one?
its rng
no limit, its just rng

how's that emote where you look in front of you called
it's on mb and p new
you look at the surroundings or something
guard
thanks!
what do i type on mb to find it :o
also, how can i get the crescent moon slippers outside of mb? they're so exp almost 600k..
you craft them
Is there a way to check my DPS? Like a bar or meter idk I’m new to MMO
yes you have to install ACT
Eorzean Etiquette is the name of the emote items i think
ballroom etiquette
Ballroom Etiquette - Pointed Misgivings
thanks a lot!!
i think you need a recipe book for this
Says the one you need right at the top even
i have a friend level 80
Luckily, it's one of the simplest to get
i think they should be fine?
as a free-trial, you cannot make a party finder. Can someone make a party finder for you then pass the leader role so you can recruit on your own? 😮
Yeah if they're even a little serious as a crafter I'd expect them to have that one already
Not sure about Party Finder but I know you can do it for normal parties.
so ive unlocked whm, is it better to always stay whm?
You should never again just be a conjurer ya.
Unless you want your unicorn (and didn't get it already)
except to do that conjurer quest
Otherwise yeah, keep the stone on forever
wait a unicorn
EXCUSE ME
i suddenly am interested in conjurer
But it's specifically for CNJ not for WHM
excuse me what
wait
when how where
So you gotta remove your stone lol
a quest
Go to the guild
wow thats dumb
how where
CNJ's guild in Gridania
i want to level conjurer now
its called unicorn power
It's just a normal looking sidequest
i think i saw that when doing my lvl 30 quests
Yeah but not this easily lol. And also they're not unicorns
yeah by doing arr primals unsync lol
my friend got them all in less than 10 tries each
But yeah there are a ton of horse mounts in the game it's true. Including 3 pegasi
ive seen some cool horses going around
4 if you count Kirin's light wings I guess
which ones
All kinds of ways. Extreme primals drop mounts, there are some from achievements, the MSQ will give you a few, you can even craft a couple
You get mounts in a lot of extreme fights
Gold Saucer has a good handful as well
oh thats nice
The first thing i'll do when i hit 80 is farm the shit outta arr primals
but expensive
Ishgard restoration too
wow theres a lot of shit in this game to learn
And then cash shop of course
@timid geyser u dont need to hit level 80. u could probably solo gardua extreme now and get her horse
Do primal demi materias sell at a good price btw ?
Which has a lot of the old event mounts, and some other unique ones
it's actually way cooler looking than the unicorn
I'm a level 60 gnb
anyone know where the setting to disable zone acheivements when you zone in is?
what are these legacy worlds?
!faq worldtype
1.0 worlds
Standard: This World has an average amount of players. Standard Worlds have no bonuses or long-term restrictions active.
Preferred: This World has a lower than average amount of players. Marked with a star, Preferred Worlds grant new characters a +100% experience boost for every class to level 70 for at least 90 days, 10 Silver Chocobo Feathers to spend on gear at the Calamity Salvager, and a one-time deal of 15 days of free subscription for hitting level 30.
Congested: This World has an overabundance of players. Congested Worlds are completely locked off from new characters and Home World transfers.
New: This World has been recently added to the game and has a low amount of players. Along with the incentives that Preferred Worlds have, New Worlds will also give players who hit level 30 one million Gil once per datacenter. Home World Transfers to New Worlds are free of charge.
Legacy: This World has existed since 1.0. Legacy Worlds have no bonus of their own and can be Standard/Preferred/Congested.
So I know Home World transfer is free, if from congested to preferred, but is it also free for transferring from congested to normal world? (not congested, nor preferred)
no
and anything that has a star has a exp boost upto level 70?
I see, okay then thank you
in character creation yes
yes
how do i check which data center is best for me? ping wise

how do I ping the IP?
Windows: Open Command Prompt and type ping *insert IP Address here*
Mac: Open Terminal and type ping *insert IP Address here*
Data centers in your region are better
if you are european going in europe is better but TBH
@remote lintel thank you
On the point from earlier, could I solo the ARR primals as a Lv80 WHM? Just finished ShB a couple hours ago and want to try and get thru those since I haven't actually done any extremes besides when my FC farmed Zurvan for mounts
i am from asia
I'm European and I have no problem in NA DCs
@soft tundra yes
probably
yes
A friend of mine did Bahamut as a whm
ARR extreme are by far and away the easiest of EX trials to solo\
Hm, might try that as well, haven't done coils either
pretty much at this point most jobs, if not all, should be able to solo at 80
Can someone share their shriek macro. The ones i found on google dont qork for me
bruh, how am i getting better ping from EU than JP
@twilit arch easier on some classes than others never forget
being from India
I'm guessing you mean "Shirk"?
/micon "Shirk"
/ac "Shirk" <2>
You can just repeat the /ac line a bunch
It can make a difference sometimes
During WL1 the ice fall will always be left and right?
put micon at the bottom
That's assuming your party order is tanks first
Doesn't make a difference as far as I've ever found
it does
@vestal needle It'll be something like
/ac Shirk <t>
/ac Shirk <2>
repeat line 3
/micon Shirk```
its a slight difference but macros read from top to bottom
so putting the useless line last means it reads the important lines first
macros are going to be wonky anyway so may as well just give it that little bit extra help
Idk, all of mine have literally worked fine that way for years so 🤷♂️
it will still work fine, ofc
but as i said, its just giving it that little bit extra help to make sure it goes off in a timely manner
Its a very minor differences, but its good practice to put any unimportant commands close to the bottom
I guess, but again It seems like we're treading into so minor it might as well be no difference at this point. Again this is also from experience using them that way
There is literally no reason not to do it
No there is
talking about hallowed wings during the WL1 mechanic? then yes it'll be 2 on the left half of the arena, 2 on the right half depending on which direction thehead travels
Is there any actual data on this? or is it an assumption?
What exactly will sheltron block?
But if you get a poorly timed ping spike it can screw with the macro
Yes
@jovial tide physical and magical damage
its always the side that the head is traveling through, so don't rely on it being the same every time as the head can travel clockwise or counterclockwise @kind eagle
There's actual tests or again is it an assumption?
It feels very hit or miss with what it will block
Yes there are actual tests
Oh direction of the head
Sheltros always blocks while its active
I almost don't want to try it on anything other than an autoattack
I swear I still get hit by half the aoes with it on
the damage shows up as blocked on your floating text
I'd love to see them
Sheltron just makes your block rate 100%
it doesnt block 100% damage
You're not being completely immune
Its not a 100% damage reduction
Ah
it blocks a percent of dmg
Its just triggering your passive block mitigate
but the block rate will be 100%
shields are 100% dmg reduction
Ok hold up
So i just see the head then move to other direction and my timer is below i go pop my puddle
You're just going to confuse them ;_;
Well, shields are extra HP, it's not really dmg reduction
theres different types of damage reduction basically
you usually collect your puddle after the wings go off
Hi! Does anyone have any chocobo breeding experience? If so can I dm you a question?
Yep. Only stuff that's 100% dmg reduction is something like your Hallowed Ground for PLD. And even then there are special attacks that can go through it
For the most part it’s just damage splits and enrages
im pretty sure only enrage goes thru it
True Damage actually is the major one besides Enrages. And Cover damage, that can mess up a PLD if they don't realize that goes through too lol
Oh
wall effects, falling off the platform, and some ground effects (||garuda's bacon|| in e6 for example) goes through invuln
Which are all True Damage I believe, well idk exactly how the falls are handled lol but probably that
But there are actual attacks that hit for True Damage, like the raidwides during e8s adds
Or like SoS Ex's ultimate
i think the question was answered
those raidwides are max hp percentage damage iirc?
Yeah, True Damage is the other word for that
Is it like 1 wing per puddle?
you can think of it like that
Cool now
As SAM do you ever want to get hit for Eyes Open?
Not purposefully, if you mean it like that
Aka use on raid wides
things like raidwides you should use it on for sure
And stacks
And the most effective use of kenki
and you reduce damage too so you should use it
Can use the shield when u get double slap
I see, but it's still extremely rare to want to stand in bad to pop it right?
You dont stand jn bad to pop it
definitely not, you still die
Unless its a dungeon cause nothing does damage
Is there any point to buying Riding Maps if you already have flight in an area
lol
No
no there isn't rudolf
on the riding maps
unless you want to colelct them
intentionally standing in bad to get an eyes open proc is an optimization technique
flying is fastest
and i wouldn't recommend it unless you and your party know what you're doing
the gains are marginal anyway
kk
Then what's even the point of them for HW and above areas, just for before unlocking the aether currents in an area?
They were added after the zones were designed
Is D3/4 harder than D1/2?
Regarding Cover, I assume the raw damage is applied to your defense instead of the recipient's?
And since ARR got them, HW and SB may as well too
Another question about home world transfer, they states something like this:
- Three days must have elapsed since the Home World Transfer Service was last used on the service account.
- You must be logged out of the game.
Does that means I need to off from the game for three days? Or just during the last day?
no
Am I a bad player if I don't use Simplified Job Gauges?
Dps responsibility in the fight doesn't change dramatically based on your number/position in the fight
it means 3 days have to pass between world transfers
No
Normal job gauges are fine
oooh
No I use them too
and you need to be logged out when you purchase a transfer
iirc yes and mitigation skills do work on Cover damage. It just goes through your invuln
Yeah on a second thought why would I ever think like that
so its an instant transmission?
Simplified is just for ui space
anyone have a anyone have a https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Hornhelm fish that the would willing to trade??
Transfer is usually instant to very quick
Usually, yes world transfer is generally instant
I wanna try dancer but i suck at making plays
But yeah, I use simplified for most stuff, but I want to use expanded for MCH's bars and Sam's stickers
I see thank you
Because the SAM's stickers in full mode resembles my Hotbars more
if I have an apartment, what should I do with that?
do I need to buy another one after transfer?
Yes
aaaaaaaaaaaaa
You need to relinquish it before you can transfer
Need to givr up all housing instancrs stuff to transfer
simplified vs normal is basically just preference, i like normal cause they look neat
Yeah
does the gil gets refunded?
No
You only get refunds on houses if they're automatically demolished
Which is off until 5.4

Is block rate objective or dependent upon mob level?
Shield
ngl the fact that each job had a unique stylized UI element was somehting that drew me into ffxiv since i first saw ffxiv in the job actions trailer for ShB
It's based on your Shield
You'll see a Block Rate and a Block Strength stat on it
I mean the actual block rate number
You mean like the % of damage blocked?
I think its calculated, you often see (xx% parried)
Yeah that's based on "Block Strength" again a stat of your shield
vs rate is how likely a block is to proc
Where do you buy and sell gear/tradeables?
NPCs in cities, or other settlements. Or the market board
Market board to buy, your retainers puts items up on the market board for you
to sell via the marketboard you need to use retainers
Does anyone have experience chocobo breeding?
Sorry, discord autoupdate
so where in gridania would i find a market board
Old gridina
hi guys, so I grabbed the wrong resistance weapon, is there an easy way to change it before I put any progress into it or am I screwed?
Anyway I meant how the block rate number corresponds to an actual block rate % against some mob
ty
Where all the npcs are
In the market area, use the Leathworkers guild
near the lancers guild iirc
aethernet
leatherworkers
or Lancers yeah that works too
that one
They both have entrances nearby
@lucid pumice just take the quest again on a right job
its a long hallway
You can get all the resistance weapons if you want
thanks
It's all based on you how good your shield is. But I don't know the exact conversion of like 1000 Block strength = x% mitigated
It also depends on what expac level you're playing through. As it kind of "resets" each time
I am worried that I screwed something up. I am paying for 2 accounts but had to cancel one subscription and I haven't gotten any emails for payment for the other account. I am paying by debit card. Did I screw something up for the account by canceling one of the subscriptions?
Have you log in and check the one you want to keep?
not yet...its on a friends ps4 and im not there to check
on mog station
the only subscription i see is the one that I canceled
who's this npc?
they're cute
that's not cute
are events level locked?
im 32 can i do the yokai one they got goin on?
yokai watch is 30
You won't be able to do ALL of the Yokai event
But you can't do all
Some parts require you to be in Stormblood areas and stuff
the unlock for yokai is 15
like, the gnb weapon needs you to be at HW
free trial cant do the entire event
You can't access HW zones yet
because you didnt start it
and you have 0 access to SB zones
When does yokai event end?
hmm
Monday
im only looking for one item really
Oh
can i get these without going to HW zones
Havent done any lol
yes
Those are the monk weapons, so yes

anyone knows how to check ping on ps4?
thank you for the help guys! 
don't you need to go in coerthas highlands ?
enma is all sb zones
