basically a minigame disguised as a job
Lmao
however long it takes you to do the story
everything is locked behind story
you can't level grind
Oh
the story is meant to level you as you do it
Sorry to be dumping all these questions btw, most of the stuff i find online is pretty old
thats what the channel is for
Are there weapon rarities
the new XP bonus overlevels u tho
/gear in general
the color of gear doesn't matter
Oh thank god
it only tells you where its generally from
like pink/green gear are generally from dungeons
So there's no grind for "legendary" or "exotic" gear thank god
not exactly?
Ok
but each expansion has "relic weapons" but those are mostly used for fashion
anyone got an answer for this? 🙂 <@&473626701947994134> <@&473626912561037312>
I see
Ok one more thing
Let's say I play through a chunk of story
And then change classes
@shell dagger actions and traits > extras > right click alarm
I can't use that story to level anymore?
thank you!!
Great, I'll give that a read
Would you say there's a certain job the game pushes you toward
Or is it super free
No
!faq meta
this game is way more balanced
It seems like it
Is there a reccomended server for NA btw?
I'm in aether but idk if there's one with more players or something
crystal has slightly less raiders and more RPers
!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)
no the populations are the same
Tldr doesn't matter
its bout a 10min q time for a dungeon as a dps from lvl 15-40 so far i found in my 3 days of playing
whihc is far better then most mmos
excuse u crystal is the best 😤
Anyways, thanks very much Cerberus for your help. Looks like a great game and I can't wait to give it a shot
The last time i played it was the original launch
Which was....
Lmao
Realm reborn has great reviews on steam yea
OH
Speaking of
Does it matter whether I play through steam or just the installer
The steam page says there's a special package for steam players
are you playing the free trial?
Yes
if you play the free trial on steam it will lock you to steam
so if you wanted to buy the game you would have to buy it on steam
between that and the windows version, steam has less frequent sales
thats about it
what free package
The steam edition says it comes with game time
no
the starter edition comes with 30 free days no matter which platform you get it on, tag
its always 20$
It's often on sale as well!
But i downloaded the game for free and it says i can play to 35
it does
yes it does
Take part in an epic and ever-changing FINAL FANTASY as you adventure and explore with friends from around the world! Experience all the hallmarks of the best-selling franchise - airships, chocobos, moogles, and more.In the updated Free Trial version of the FINAL FANTASY XIV, you’ll now be able to play as your favourite FINAL FANTASY class up to...
83
The only thing i see on steam is shadowbringers or ffxiv for $20
@leaden ginkgo if you mean meta wise i think its still red mage but not by a lot
Guess it's on the page
Dancer has the lowest personal DPS, but has good rdps
^
Red Mage is in the middle
yeah i wasnt sure if they were talking about personal or rdps
Ok now I'm confused because square enix site says play to 35 but the steam reviews for the trial say level 60
Is the SE site just not updated
the free trial goes to lvl 60 and lets you play the base game and first expansion
Thanks
@remote lintel no i mean like damage wise which one is the lowest one
Dancer/Bard are often at the bottom, but it's a pretty small difference overall
Play what you like first and foremost
ok ty:D
DNC is the lowest personal dps, by a fair margin but it makes up a lot in buffs. But yeah everything is viable in this game so play whatever you want
as a DPS (dragoon) whats is better? direct hit rate, skill speed or critical hit?
are you lvl 80
talking with me?
yes
imm 55
Then none of those stats matter, pick the highest ilvl
substats dont matter that much when your leveling
kk

To the collectable dealer near the scrip tent in mor dhona
hey quys quick question. Is there a place I can buy items from past events? like the yokai one that just ended, I missed out on quite a few
I just told you 🙂
damn thats a bummer
are they gonna add pvp weapons for shadowlands too~? the arms supplier only has stuff up to stormblood for me o:
mhm!! i see shadowlands armor from their npcs, but there's nothing about shadowlands from the weapons people
we dont have weapons for the republican set either
ohhh gotcha. so they sometimes just don't release anything~?
they just didnt add them for whatever reason
gotcha. thanks!! c:
What's the best piece of gear to buy with Tomestones of Revelations?
chest or legs generally
It depends. Chest and Legs are the same so better to buy the one that's BiS when upgraded over one that isn't. And that'll depend on your class
Wow that's expensive, guess I'll wait for next week to farm some more xD
Thanks guys
(though neither may be)
what was the name of the website to create lists for gear mats etc??
teamcraft?
i think thats the one, tahnks!
wtf is mith strat
i can't find any info on youtube or google lol
been doing the cardinals that were shown on mr. happy's video for e9s and it seems to work fine, but lots of mith strats on PF...
should i be moving my retainers to the reduced tax zones?
Which is it again
this one https://imgur.com/gallery/QTw4PcH
one group will always have to sprint to the other side after breaking tethers
Uptime during Wide angle/anti air
They wont, if you stand in the corner properly they'll break
Yeah I don't see how this affects uptime either way. You end up in the cardinal safe zones for the big aoes. That's true of the happy strat too
for wide/anti air I mean

@thorny knoll personally find it to be more effort than worth because you're going to have to moving your retainers all the time since reduce tax changes. if you're someone who's super serious about the marketboard and making gil then i guess it'd be worth
the mr. happy one seems way better because you end up running to the cardinals direclty and can branch off directly after into the corners as dps
just takes a bit of adjustment running to the side without the purple tether
is there an appropriate place for asking company workshop questions? i'm struggling to get req mats for company craft schematics
hey all! umm i might need some help lol
i cant log in with my account and its like saying i dont have a sub anymore
and i log in into the mog station and it still says i have about 70 days left
is your account non-steam or steam or PS4?
are you logging into the right platform
i started steam, then it gave me some issues and moved to just using the launcher, gonna try using steam now
Do lower level treasure maps get synced or i can farm them solo ?
yea
then you have to play on steam
moved to just using the launcher
And by this you mean you're using the non-steam launcher?
Because yeah that's where you'd be going wrong

The portal dungeon syncd, overworld doesn't
you cant have both the windows version and steam version on 1 account
When the game become less quests and more activity? 1week still doing MQS
thats the game
when you finish an expansion you unlock all the side stuff for it like raids
You can go unlock some side dungeons and stuff right now probably
but everything is locked behind story
ye but i mean at what lv i start raids?
well
50 at the minimum
once you finish ARR
If you want to do the hard version of the raids and stuff with other people you're going to be looking at level 80 tbh
because that's the current stuff
yeah each expansion has raids but theyre not necessarily the endgame raids
The other raids you can do the normal difficulty version no problem
You'd have a hard time getting people to do the old endgame raids savage difficulty at the appropriate level since the rewards are mostly outdated
And you can just unsync those and make the fight 1000 times easier
each expansion has 3 24-man raids and 12 8-man raids
but the 8 man raids for ARR are savage level
Technically 13 far ARR, 12 for all the others, for 8man raids
I keep waiting for them to do that again, just to throw people off lol
Can I get this armor? (Crystal Tower raid spoiler)
you can buy it on the mb
I believe its under "Replica High Allagan xxx"
^
XXX is whatever the gear is
and of course it's dyeable
Also since you're at Crystal Tower, which means you're level 50, means you can wear it

the tank one is different cause its called "replica heavy high allagan coat"
Please use #494379215420915712 as this is not the channel for the inquiry you're asking for
Thank you!
how hard is it to solo potd (1-50) as a dragoon?
hard
Every job can solo 1-50 if you have enough aether pool and sustain pots
what time do duty roulettes refresh
7 am pacific time/10 am eastern time.
oo ok nice ty for info

1-50 is easy so long as you have the aetherpool
Does it look like a sofa seat or high chair?
all mounts can fly
The sofa one, called the Flying Chair, is crafted with Alchemist and can be found on the market board
The high chair, called the Archon Throne, is bought from the gold saucer for 750k MGP
theres also the valentines chair from mog station
those are crafted
I see

what the best way to farm nuts, i need them about 160 of them
that i know but i dont see any up
Join a train discord for your data center
Centurio trains is the one I know calling Crystal ones
Just keep an eye on it
Each server typically does 3 a day
does this work on viera?
got a link for that?
Check in #resources
And probably? Its not obstructing the ears I expect it should work
I'm annoyed that we still have to wonder if things work for viera or not
Not really a question, but I understand the sentimwnt

Can someone help explain why these mounts/etc are behind expansions that I already have yet still have to pay for?
Is the only difference the titles?
and the digital items
Ah
Ty
Another question if you’d be so kind, If I get the complete collectors edition will it include the others or are they all separate?
Yeah but I also thought the standard expansions included everything until today
But ty, really
Leveling Red Mage, when given the choice between a Crit/DH weapon or a Crit/Det weapon of equal ilvl which should I use?
it's Scaevan vs Fae fwiw
You won’t really notice a difference when leveling up so use whatever is prettier
So Fae 
are they EXARCHIC gears (melded) better than the tomestone of revelations gears?
Okay
I was just wondering cause I've heard that the crafting gears, HQ 490 with overmelding, are better than the Handsaint stuff (500)
so I was wondering if the same thing applied
crafting is different
Crafting/gathering gear is balanced with the intent that the non-scrip gear beats the scrip stuff when melded

I accidentally discarded my Sharpened spurs of the thorn prince, is there any way to get them back? And is there any way to buy a replica of them so I can glam them?
What's the fastest way to farm GC seals?
@toxic ridge you can buy replicas of the relic weapons when you get to the 2nd to last or last stage of them iirc
I can buy the replica spurs of the thorn prince, but not the replica sharpened spurs
And I accidentally discarded my sharpened spurs of the thorn prince, so idk if there's any way to get it back to continue the quest
pretty sure you have to start over
are you invulnerable while getting “rescued”?
no
Is there an optimal order for getting each normal raid gear piece? like should I start with jewelry or save for the body?
get whatever is your lowest ilvl piece
well my main is bis from the previous tier
then generally chest or legs
gotcha thank you 🙏
were there any new non-paid hairstyles in 5.4?
No
There is one that isn’t officially out yet
IIRC
I remember seeing two hairstyles in the datamine
so maybe in 5.41 or something?
Yeah it might be part of Ishgard restoration
Sharlayan Studies was added but i dont think it was released yet
but its the twin's hairstyle
Just to check, are you talking to the right npc?
Nah people do it a lot
That's why I asked

What do titan unreal gives
Attemps at doing a Battleships minigame for tokens to buy some stuff including mounts and minions
You can check the exact list at the fox thing near Khloe
for titan?
does anyone know if it's possible that an item sent to me via moogle mail was deleted/lost because my inventory was full. I didn't see any items left and deleted the mail pretty fast and I'm missing an item. Has this happened to anyone else?
what item
it was a crafted chest piece
did you check your armoury chest
ah! there it is! Thank you!
How do people show all 3 times on their HUD? I cant find it anywhere
thank you!
Hi. Trying to start this game for first time but I keep getting the error "Unable to download patch files (3014, 25008, 20495, 20495) and it kicks me out of uploading it. I am using a Mac. Can find anywhere anyone has a solution for this. i deleted game and restarted it, but same thing keeps happening. very frustrating when this is my first experience of the game. Help please
are sweetflesh oysters (or whichever one the level 80 venture is for fishers) used for any endgame level crafting?
trying to see if I should invest into some gear for my retainer
or like the lv 80 exploration stuff
Anyone know when are good times for PVP on Aether
i am unfamiliar with PVP times on Aether
What is machinist starting level
30
such a fun class lol
are there quests like castrum/praetorium that have shorter quest time/cutscenes that give poetics
generally the other roulettes give a decent amount
really tired to wasting 40mins just to get 200poetics
castrum/praetorium have a large poetic payout because they take so long to complete
do alliance raids give 100 poetics?
yes

all of them?
i have unlocked only 3 of them since i am still at the end of HW expansion
yes, all 3 of the crystal tower raids give 100 poetics
wondrous tails can be unlocked at Idyllshire
same with the shadows of mhach raids, and the return to ivalice ones
I would say main scenario roulette is more worth it than alliance
and they already said they dont want to do msq roulette
alliance has far more horrible queuing time and gives like 200 tomestones vs. msq roulette's like 500
most of CT raids can be done fairly quick (barring WoD which can b e a bit of russian roulette)
alliance roulette queues usually aren't that long, especially if you queue as healer or dps
I will agree with u on the healer part, but anytime I have queued for anything outside of healer, it has taken over 30 min to several hours
and I mean nearly every time

but it might vary from server to server
I have big doubts that it takes over 30mins-1hr for dps
Is there any way to go back during dialogue?
tank i can believe because you've only got 3 slots for those
woah woah wait
wdym 200 fot alliance and 500 for msq? i get only 100 and 200 respectively
then i would suggest looking at your language settings
alliance roulette is 200 (100 for the roulette + the instance)
@oblique yew I get 500 every single time for msq roulette because there are new players bonus
msq roulette is 500 because of 300 from roulette + 200 from instance
because of my reshade @unique oasis
it's just much more tomestones for the time (and waiting time) than alliance imo
sorry, but what does instance mean?
the raid/dungeon
is this in terms for daily roulette?
no
praetorium is a 8 man dungeon instance
world of darkness is a 24 man alliance raid instance
Werlyt Sorrows spoilers
Anyone know if this coat the guy on the left is wearing is obtainable in-game?
aww
so
for end of dungeon loot
i.e the stuff that drops from the boss
does it matter what class you are for what it can potentially drop?
for leveling dungeons?
like for it to drop a lancer armor does someone have to be a lancer?
yeah
the Arboretum for example
arborteum isn't a leveling dungeon
like if you're talking about the loot from the boss chest at the end, then no what job you are is irrelevant.
If you're talking about in leveling dungeons, where you're automatically given a piece of loot at the end of the dungeon then yes it does
because it gives you a piece of loot, from that dungeon, that is appropriate for the job you are and that you don't have your inventory
I can just spam my whm then
Augmented is only a faster GCD which only the tanks really want in terms of optimal damage
So IMO not really
Unless they add another upgrade which adds a stat that actually increases your damage in Bozja like the “Elemental bonus” stat in Eureka
Anyone know what this bed is called?
It's Llymlaen's Embrace with a bed glitched(?) into it
If u have the gold/plat marriage, will both receive a chocobo????
Yes
Thank u c: !
Just make sure you both buy the same package, or it'll default to the lowest one
What's the fastest way to level a dark knight? Keep doing levelling roulette or other stuff?
do daily leveling roulette then highest level dungeon
except 50/60/70 dungeons, do the 47/59/69 dungeons instead
once you get 50+ can also do msq roulette, and alliance roulette to your daily stuff

I see, thanks
I see, tysm 🥺🥺 trying to convince my friend to marry me for the mount xD
where is the hermit hovel?
so machinist starting quest
hate how it has no map indication
ty
Is Shake it Off your HP or target HP?
target's i believe?
oh oof wrong chat my bad
So I'm trying to work out the MCH opener and, I'm not going insane right?
The top one is just less damage?
Isn't that bad then? Why is that one the 'General' opener?
Genuine question I don't understand, sorry hahaha
its really dependent on the fight alignments
Do free trial player get eno-chan?
Yees
its one and a bit GCDs earlier and that might either help it line up better for raid buffs, or just in general for fight specific mechanics
might mean the difference between getting an extra full powered use off in the fight
I see.. thanks for the help hahaha
Petty question: Are there any decent methods of getting out of gil-poverty besides high end crafting?
do your daily roulettes, treasure maps, ventures
flipping items
go into eureka and get lucky lockboxes
do weekly wondrous tails
use allegory to sell crafting mats if you don't need the gear
use poetics to buy unidentifiable items to exchange for soil to sell
Soil? Like gardening?
Yep
You can also turn poetics into GC seals by buying tomestone gear and turning it in at your grand company
And then turn those seals into glamour prisms or cordials or other materials to sell
where do you trade in emeral totems
if my WHM is casting stone and needs to move, should I cancel stone and throw an aero even though the DoT is still ticking? Or should I move in safe spot and cast stone again
Even Bigger Brain: Swiftcast Aero 😮
!action aero
!action stone
So, 50 + 30 + 30 + 30 = 140
So if you cast a new Aero when the existing Aero on enemy has 9s or less (3 tick or more has occurred)
Then technically... The existing Aero will account for the Stone you can't cast
I don't know if it is worth it though
Depends what you're doing
Wide for tanks is. In. Rotate front.
Meanwhile anti air is out.
Away
In to her side.
for dps
For that it'd be...
To the edge. With your stack group.
That's honestly it.
That's all I know.
But you need to stay distanced at anti air
Oh thanks!
After the Free Trial, do i have to buy the entire game? Or do i just buy the Stormblood+ expansions?
is there any way to obtain the summer Flame top? if not will it be in mog Station soon?
or is there a similar skin?
for male or female
female
not really

!iglam summer morning halter
!iglam csea breeze summer halter
!iglam sea breeze summer halter
!iglam black summer halter

How do I change my retainer's glamour?
What's the optimal raid token grab sequence again?
They'll need a class first
then simply give them stuff to wear thats applicable for that job (or any job) and either give them a piece glamour to what you want or the specific piece itself
there will be a change gear option in their menu
Oh how do I set up a retainer's class?
What is a retainer?
A retainer is a private NPC that will act as a personal bank for the player, holding up to 175 different items, that can be summoned to any of the Summoning Bells around the world. Retainers also act as your means to sell on the Market Board.
How to unlock a retainer
First, you must complete the quest The Scions of the Seventh Dawn then go to speak to any of the Retainer Vocates located in the market district of any of the major cities.
What are Retainer Ventures?
Ventures are the means to send out your retainers on missions to bring back items for you and can be unlocked by completing the quest 'An Ill-conceived Venture' (Ul’Dahn), (Gridania), (Limsa Lominsa)
you need to do the quest "an ill conceived venture"
it was not. but Cerb's got ya covered
it is
Ventures are the means to send out your retainers on missions to bring back items for you and can be unlocked by completing the quest 'An Ill-conceived Venture' (Ul’Dahn), (Gridania), (Limsa Lominsa)
@thorn thicket generally chest or legs
I was more looking for like week by week XD
its class dependant my dude
since week 1 is typically accessories since those are the fastest/easiest to get ilvl and main stat increases with
not really
is there a bot command for checking instance dropps?
its recommended to go with whatever is your lowest ilvl piece first but if you had bis before then generally chest or legs first
!faq edenloot
Yes, but those take 2 weeks to get the tokens for since since they're only one 2 of the fights
are you talking about savage or normal
normal
then no?
i'm not a savage raider, don't have the patience for it
then your gear hardly matters my friend.
if you're not pushing content that requires ilvl
just trying to be efficient is all XD
eh. get whatever. it'll happen eventually
honestly
if you want ilvl just get the most you can per week
savage raiding takes shorter than grinding it out
^
because a lot of the augment stuff/straight up gear pieces drop
as opposed to waiting 7 weeks to get a weapon
savage is the shortcut
which class should I choose for my retainer?
I'm going to level it too
then its based on the type of ventures you want it to do.
remember you need to have leveled that class too. It can't excede you
I see
one gatherer one combat
It's extremely rare for Tanks to meld Tenacity right?
Bar very very tough fights
Tenacity setups are not uncommon for Ultimate progression
Tenacity is not as valuable
eh. It doesn't hurt you in any way
tenacity is a prog meld more or less
kk
you gain more out of melding crit/dh/sks than you do tenacity
Also do I want to meld sks as GNB?
To a point yes.
Are there recommended sks tiers for GNB?
I win.
lol
I thought the norm is to say Jinx?
its in the gnb_resources channel
Like just use what GCD you want?
Un... so any GCD you want?
Any tier you are comfortable with and can double weave with
choose a tier
kk
is universalis down for anyone else?
No, it's just very slow
oh, im gettinga 504 error
Weird
is there a way to check if an item can drop hq or not? I've been killing icetraps hoping for hq icetrap leaves, had 15 drops now, no hq.
They can be HQ yes
Regarding how to check if a material can be HQ or not, I have to say I have no idea
can't honestly think of a mob drop that can't HQ
but its just rng
on whether you 1. get a drop to begin with and 2. whether its hq or nq
alright, well that's good to know anyway. anything that increases drop chance?
What coat is this
Kill faster
glacial coat
you can kill stuff as ninja and use mug
but thats a pretty low chance
But ultimately, no there's nothing you can do to increase drop rate
Is there a way to increase mount speed in Norvrandt?
riding maps for novrandt come from bicoloured gems, which are gotten from doing fates
but really, just collect the aether currents and fly
Ohh so that’s what those do
because the time it takes to get enough bicoloured for the maps, you'd probably have been done with the aether currents
Any way to improve odds of mats extraction?

Is there a way to export ACT settings? I might be blind because I don't see any
I'm finishing ARR's MSQ and I need 42 ilvl, atm i'm only 39
I need a new waist
Is there a way to acquire one fast?
No wait, a neck
yes. which vendor are you at?
If I can't place escape an item, I can't loft if either, right?
At the mercant at the Ceruleum Processing Plant atm
go to Uldah
@round ermine Have you done your lv50 class quests? It should give you i90 left side, and that should give you 42 easily
Oh right, I didn't do that ty
Plus it's good glamour
Hey guys,Just got to doing heavenswards MSQ, noticed that my mounts ain't flyable anymore, how do I get the flying option back?
You have to collect aether currents (your aether compass should point you to the nearest one when used) and do blue quests that give you an aether current
you'll need to find Aether currents and complete so much of the MSQ to get flying per zone
You can review your flying progress through Travel > Aether Currents
The green ones are from the map, and the yellow ones are from quests
The final yellow one will always come from the msq
So just keep doing MSQ for now?
yeah it won't send you anywhere that requires flying
I see, thanks
Yes, and also spam your aether compass. If the distance is less than like 300 yalms, hop over and interact with the current
It's a green swirly thing
if you can't be arsed doing the hunt
I have travel > aether currents grayed out
punch "aether current guide" into google or something
then you haven't got that far in the MSQ
Yea, just started heavensward msq
no
you've got some introductary stuff to do first
Yeah flying is always tied to msq progression. Generally you cannot unlock flying until you're leaving that zone in the msq
You unlock the aether compass from a 51-52 main story quest iirc
do we have any idea what the actual dps check numbers are for e9-12s?
is there any way to begin crafting an item using a macro?
pain.
theres quick crafting if you're doing bunches
but that is only good for super low level stuff
It’s also not efficient experience
Dunno about the others but found this for E12S : E12S. Enrage Timer: ~10:57. DPS Check Requirement: ~ 83,700+
Huh rly? Guess the saltedxiv website is high then
can you link me to teh page where you found that?
Sure
Doesnt really say it in the page but the description for it had the info
Probably clipped with e8s info or smth
Yea thats what im thinking, the minimum dps check for e9 is gonna be higher than e8, e8 was around 87kish
roughly*
thanks for trying tho, was just curious cause my static is starting next week
Yee das fair , lol no worries , was kinda curious myself , didnt find much else cept that
im thinking e11 is probably 110k+ atleast
not sure about e12 or the other ones
we should prob go to #retired-patch-6-3-discussion

Hi. Trying to start this game for first time but I keep getting the error "Unable to download patch files (3014, 25008, 20495, 20495) and it kicks me out of uploading it. I am using a Mac. Can find anywhere anyone has a solution for this. i deleted game and restarted it, but same thing keeps happening. very frustrating when this is my first experience of the game. Help please
Does your block chance become 0% while casting spells as PLD? And if so, I assume sheltron is also useless in that scenario?
The guy you meet at the start of the game, bit of a trump card they can pull at any time since there's not much lore behind him by that point in the story
I see
I thought it was him but wasn't sure
That feels like so long ago
I started playing like 8 days ago XD
what can you buy from pixies at max rep? :o or should i say is it even worth it
Sheltron still works while casting
It eventually becomes a non-issue anyway when you get the trait that makes your spells instant cast during requiescat
It unlocks another orchestrion roll and a furniture
Also maxing out all 6 zones unlock a universal gemstone vendor in Eulmore and the Crystarium which have the loot of all 6 zones and items of their own
gotcha ty
Is this error normal after switching classes 'The level 90 weapon coffer contains gear unequippable by your current class/job' ?
I started as a Bard than changed class to Red Mage ...
Thank you! Makes perfect sense now.
If I'm trying to get Lonely Explorer title, can I die or does it have a be a deathless run to 101?
Unless they fixed it, you can’t die as the save file needs to go past 100 for the achievement to register

I've heard the term "horizontal DPS" being used in chat, and I wonder what that means, anyone got a clue?
@opaque pewter can’t die for what? That sounds crazy
For an achievement and title in Palace of The Dead.
😮
Hmm so I can’t find the Npc for honoring the past in pillars; anyone know why ?
I did the pre req
I've never heard the term before, it might be referring to Ranged dps because of the hitbox on their lb1? Idk
No idea XD
hi all, sorry for dumb question. i've activated the quest For want a memory. for the relic weapon lv 80 in Gangos. although i did it it SAM job and got the purple weapon. But i'm now main WHM. can i get the whm weapon and trade the memories i've collected or do i need to finish sam quest weap first?
I believe that you cannot have multiple jobs on the same step/quest
you can abandon the SAM one, then pick it up as WHM and turn in your obtained memories
thank god! tyvm
for MCH, which materia should I prioritize?
Crit > dh/ det
thank you!

I'm trying to do level 55 alc quest, and find something rather odd. It needs a fish, and to obtain that fish I need a goblin jig by the looks of it, which is a level 58 goldsmithing item. That seems unusual to need another skill higher
What do the stars in the gathering log mean?
rarity/difficulty
"rarity" not necessarily meaning the recipe or item is rare
just that you might have needed a recipe from a book to be able to make it
curious whats the most efficient way to farm allegories rn?
so how blm aoe works at 80? i'm trying to re-learn the job.
!faq blmleveling
72+ rotation
thank you!
Is it possible to gear retainers so they bring back more than 5 of the ShB Folklore mats; or is that a hard cap of some sort?
!faq smnleveling

Only blm has that cause it changes dramatically as it levels
Akhmorning.com has all summoner resources. Including levelling rotations
Ah, good to know, thanks
I wanted to ask, it says transfer to preferree world/new world free. So does that mean I don't need to pay 18$ for it? Feel free to mention me or dm me for details
how do you check the population in bozja from inside?
Transferring from a CONGESTED server to preferred is free
Open player search
I think I'm gonna sub tomorrow. Any tip what to do first for players fresh out of Post-HW?
same thing? 🤔
MSQ and blue quest
and check motherboard probably 😂
you can finally spend those gil
you mean marketboard?
Any tips on doing Blue unlocks for seemingly elderly content?
Like I have one for howling eye extreme and it’s been queued for an hour lol
As a tank :0
it's the same loot system as a lot of games yuki
if someone rolls need, then everyone who rolls greed gets their vote invalidated
you can only roll need if your class can actually use the item
otherwise you are only allowed to greed
So only i can need? as for weapon wise they can need?
duty finder
i make PF and loot only in DF
nobody queues for emerald ex in duty finder
So what’s the deal with Garuda ex? No one do that too? Can I not find that in duty? 😦
well first of all
i know
For mama
What’s the difference @faint flare
Not you
but no one is going to join anything loot master
I said that in PF comments
Duty finder puts you with randoms who have no clue what to do and you'll never clear
PF lets you control who joins and you can advertise unsync and get lv80s to face roll it
he's specifically saying he wants to guarantee the emerald gwiber
for himself
by fucking everyone else out of the loot
lmao
i am aware
What should I do? I’m just a returning player and have a shit ton of these unlocks stuck in my journal I don’t wanna abandon ;.;
But yes, no sane person is gonna join lootmasters
Put up party finder and unsync them
With lv80s
How xD
Open party finder
oh i didnt put lootmaster only greed
everyone is going to need on the gwiber anyway
Then make sure you turn on Undersized party in duty finder settings
if you roll greed on it then you're just giving your roll away for free
When you que
no need to do "greed only"
that just screws people out of the weapons for their class if it drops
frankly, if someone rolls greed on a mount, it's virtually the same as just passing on it
How do I un synch?
Greed Only for the latest ex is dumb as fuck
unless it's the rare case where all 7 other players already have the mount
Then how do i like get mount only
then it wouldn't matter anyway
Turn on Undersized party in the duty finder settings
You don't
alrigh
Everyone can need on the mount so everyone has an equal chance to get it
Setting it to green only doesn't do anything but fuck over the people who actually want/need the gear
Changed it
is there an emperor's new shield or something I can use to hide PLD's shield

Quick question about abilities that boost healing potency for scholar like Fey Illumination and Dissipation, do those only affect spells (Adlo, Physick, etc) or does it also affect abilities (Lustrate, Excog, etc)?
!action fey illumination
Orders faerie to execute Fey Illumination. If Seraph is summoned, orders her to execute Seraphic Illumination. Fey Illumination /Seraphic Illumination Effect: Increases healing magic potency of all nearby party members by 10%, while reducing magic damage taken by all nearby party members by 5%
Duration: 20s
Effect cannot be stacked with Seraphic Illumination.
healing magic potency means only spells
To compare to amother ability
"healing actions" means abilities are affected too
!action asylum
Envelops a designated area in a veil of succor, granting healing over time to self and any party members who enter.
Cure Potency: 100
Duration: 24s
Additional Effect: Increases HP recovery via healing actions on party members in the designated area by 10%
“HP recovery via healing actions” works on all heals
can you not get mog station deliveries when the store is in maintenance?
👌 just checked yeah i think you're right
Hello, I need help with farming moogle mog whiskers
how do you get the whiskers?

I need the Moogle Mog XII Whisker but don't know if its the Hard or EX version I should be running
I'm doing it unsync btw
any roleplayers on? I just have a few questions about the basics and online guides ain't helpin
is anyone free to help out a dps on the heroes gaunlet?
i keep dying at the berserker's part
also why does it keep pulling me towards him even though i avoided the blade aura
im in Aegis btw
Is it better to do Bozjan or FATEs for memories?
Bojza if you get a smart group
You get all 4 at once, and more you spread the better
Bozjan if you are lucky and you can level your alt in there too.
Well can't really level and effectively get memories at the same time
You got all the bonus xp it can give
It only boosts xp for a set amount of xp
Get more
Grand company
Believe scrips also have them
I play on playstation and if I can't sign in to the account that bought the game is there no way for me to continue? I still have my Square Enix account information.
I can't see people's free company
They appear there for a fraction of a sec and then dissapear from the character bar
Is this normal? It started to hapoen recently
unless you have the entire fight sorted out perfectly, hagakure is what makes you able to use skills on cooldown
While doing a character world trasnfer you can't play on that character right?
Im on my world server
And i can go to other ones
I just csnt see them in the bars at all
This started to happen recently
Is no one here to answer questions?

there is always someone, just be patient
I dunno if i touched something in the menus
But they appear for a second but then it dissapears
So this is definitelly a glitch im experiencing for slme reason
I cannot even see mine
what "bars"?
The one im showing
Under storm captain it should say my fc or others
But they dont show up
This is really weird for me
if you wanna check someone free company, you can use the player search and from there you can see the infos of the fc
but im not sure about your real problem
Its thatt they used to appear and they dont anymore
I could click someone and see their FC
you can right click on their name and one of the option should be the one to look for fc's infos
I keep seeing people buying allegory mats on PF. Where do yall get those mats?
tomestone exchange in eulmore
I play on playstation and if I can't sign in to the psn account that bought the game is there no way for me to continue? I still have my Square Enix account information.
where the fuck do i unlock bozja
Is it possible to retrieve materia on high level gear at 100%?
If im not wrong, you can't. Unless you figure out what your psn account was and log into it
The materia determines the chance not the gear so it depends entirely on the materia you're retrieving
With the square enix account info you can only log in on PC(if you have the pc version of the game bought), Mog station and lodestone
VIII
do the ivalice raids and finish shadowbringer msq
Then no
no, literally where
@fickle crow so I need to log into psn?
It can't be 100%?
Yeah
as in, wheres the bozja quests npc
Because if you log into another psn, you have to use another square enix account
@fickle crow ok
the ivalice quests starts at kugane iirc
Not unless they raise the chance in the future
ty
or talk to that boat guy in doman enclave
You have to complete all of the shadowbringers msq and start off the mission at kugane afterwards
Nvm
Sorry if i gave the wrong info
In gangos
After doing the first part of the quest line
Also requires 5.1 story completion
can you play on a character while submitted for a world transfer?
takes like 24 hours right?
Oh wow
does replacing relic with ilv 510 crafted weapon worth it?

How do I apply egi glamour? I'm pretty sure i've got the names rigt. But it says "Unable to execute command at this time"
Using /egiglamour "Ifrit-Egi" "Ruby Carbuncle"
Have you done the side quest in Arcanist guild to unlock this?
I think it pops up once you have... A lvl 50 Summoner?
Or finish the level 50 Summoner Job quest?
Its much higher weapon damage so definitely yes
I saw the player jumping with glow sticks, kind of like cheerleading. What is this emotion or action?
Emote

thats...probably e8s
