[left lantern]

Sorry again but once i am the required level (if i remember its level 15) can i join party's while in the open world and chat in party chat?

[remote lintel]

you can join a party at any level

you need to be invited

[left lantern]

i can't invite

[remote lintel]

no cause you're on trial

[left lantern]

fairs

[remote lintel]

but you can be invited to one

[open ember]

You can't make a party on trial so you have to ask for one

Someone will make you one

If you ask around

[left lantern]

thank you

[remote lintel]

if your friend is a paid player they can just invite you

[cold steppe]

also you kept mentioning that seal, what is it? 🤔

[remote lintel]

the symbol at the top of the cards

they become useful later

[open ember]

I'm not home but this from the official site

Each card has a seal

[cold steppe]

ah so it's tied to a skill i probably dont have yet then lol

[remote lintel]

yes

[open ember]

Generally you'd want 3 different ones for Divination

[remote lintel]

it's part of your job gauge

[cold steppe]

ah i see

[left lantern]

Thank u guys so much for the info

[open ember]

I believe you get it at lv50?

[cold steppe]

so you basically use redraw to stack the seals so your divination has highest potency when using it

[remote lintel]

yes

[cold steppe]

gochu that makes more sense lol

[leaden ginkgo]

So I'm currently level 15 on an alt character. I've completed my hunting log but i can't continue to the next rank. Palace of the dead is taking forever in que. What do I do ?

[remote lintel]

are you a dps?

[leaden ginkgo]

Marauder

[remote lintel]

don't use potd

do sastasha

[hot eagle]

run your highest possible dungeon

[open ember]

Also PotD isn't needed for GC ranks

[leaden ginkgo]

Bruh every YouTube vid was recommending potd sigh

[open ember]

For DPS

Not for tank/healer

[remote lintel]

potd is specifically for dps with long queues

[fervent silo]

how can i get calf leather? gamerscape and other wikis have no info atm

[gritty oracle]

Does bristle boost the dot portion of aqua breath?

[remote lintel]

@fervent silo zonureskin map

[open ember]

Also potd floors for leveling are best around 51-60

[leaden ginkgo]

Thanks

[cold steppe]

am i not wrong to not keep much mind as to how i'm placing my skills on hotkeys yet? As i feel like alot of things and the ways i could place skills for them to be somewhat easy to access could really change with lvls, and well amout of skills i have on top of that.

For the most part i didnt had much issue with setting up somewhat comfortable hotkeys for dragoon for as i started lvling astro i dont really know how further skills will affect my "wants" of placing skills in certain positions, especialy since healers dont really have obvious combos either.

[remote lintel]

just place all your skills on your hornets so you don't have to move them

hotbars

[cold steppe]

i do but sometimes i feel like some new skills can really screw up the settings, as sometimes you get skils you'd rather want to have closer to others, which are already ocupied around

[remote lintel]

I meant put every skill up to lvl 80 on your hot bar

so you get used to where they are and don't have to switch them around as you level

and you can look at other people's hotbar set ups

[cold steppe]

well i guess i suppose it's mostly about that muscle memory

[remote lintel]

I put all my direct healing and card stuff on my first hotbar and buffs/other stuff on the second

[open ember]

I personally put skills with long cooldowns on secondary hotbars

[remote lintel]

like synastry, horoscope, etc

[open ember]

I typically keep most of my heals on my primary hotbar

[cold steppe]

i have kinda mixed when it comes to that but then again, i still dont have alot of skills unlocked

i guess i'll just figure out what works for me as i'll keep playing

[open ember]

You can adjust as you go

So don't worry about it too much

[cold steppe]

given i never played game that required so much buttons before tho, it can be preety overwhealming tho, lol

[open ember]

In the end, its your hotbar, your playstyle and what works for you

Yeah it can be

[remote lintel]

generally you want your direct heals to be easy to access

and your cards

also if you haven't already, most mkb players change their keys to 12345, qert, f, zxcv and ctrl+12345 etc

[cold steppe]

i dont think accessability is a problem here cuz no matter at which hotbar i'll put my skills, i can kinda "cheat" with my mouse sidebuttons working as shift/ctrl so i can focus my left hand entirely for buttons around WASD without worrying to have to press another button on top to "switch hotbars"

but im not gonna lie the combinations kinda make me confused lol

yeah i did that more or less

1-4+q+e+r+f+z-v

basically

[remote lintel]

you can also ask in #protips-and-ui if you want to see other people's hotbar layouts

[cold steppe]

thats fair, i'll definitely consider it, but i suppose in the end it's mostly about just getting used to it

[waxen willow]

So im an old school player started back on ps3 migrated to ps4 and then to PC. I recently decided that i wanted to play with a mouse and keyboard and switched to a logitech g600 because it had so many buttons and you can hold in the right button to switch the buttons so it works like 24. Now the issue i need to get use to this does anyone has any tips or use with this mouse or similar that helped them migrate.

[robust notch]

It's something you just have to work into your muscle memory

Only way to learn it and get used to it is by actually using it. A lot.

[waxen willow]

Maybe ill just roll a new char and get use to it that way over time

[polar cairn]

good place to get level 60 gear with poetics?

[robust notch]

Some people use their MMO mice side buttons for the majority of their abilities. Others use them for extra buttons. Maybe mitigation for tank or what not.

[robust notch]

You buy Shire gear at the Foundation Aetheryte

You need to have done the MSQ quest "Heavensward" before that vendor NPC will show up though.

[open ember]

You can buy shire as soon as you reach Idyllshire

[waxen willow]

really it used to be MSQ locked when did they unlock it

[open ember]

The Rowena Representatives are just extra vendors for easy access

They added those in 5.3

[robust notch]

Rhalgr's Reach NPCs were locked behind an MSQ quest though

I guess the Idyllshire ones aren't then

[open ember]

Yeah HW is a little odd

[waxen willow]

I think they were back when it was relevant gear

[robust notch]

They were locked back in 5.21 when I started playing (Rhalgr's)

But that's good info to know ^^

[open ember]

A mentor can always fact check me if necessary

[waxen willow]

I believe you i dont see any reason you would lie on it lol

I know they did make a lot of things more accessible this expac

[vivid bobcat]

do u get experience for completing HoH ?

[wintry chasm]

Yes

[open ember]

You get exp for doing it yes

[wintry chasm]

It's basically Palace of the Dead but for 61-70 instead of 1-60

[vivid bobcat]

so no exp past 70?

[open ember]

It's a deep dunegon thus a leveling system in itself

[waxen willow]

You get it when you clear since you have the exp in side it as well

[wintry chasm]

It stops scaling past 70

[open ember]

SHB leveling system is Bozja

[wintry chasm]

Closest thing to deep dungeons like Palace and HoH in Shadowbringers is ^

Which is part of the relic questline

[devout anvil]

What kind of materia should i use for my tank armor?

[vivid bobcat]

i see, are there any major diffrences between HoH and Potd?

[open ember]

No not really besides some new pomanders

[vivid bobcat]

thanks, for all the answers guys

[open ember]

And new "magicite" which can wipe/clear a whole floor of enemies

Also no mimics in HoH I think?

Its been a while since I bothered with HoH

[waxen willow]

I thought PoTD was better then HoH honestly

[remote lintel]

@devout anvil are you level 80

[polar cairn]

level 60 weapons for poetics?

[wheat plume]

are the AST cards always all the same?

3 are the same, and the other 3 are the same

[remote lintel]

there's only 6

no

[wheat plume]

in which lvl they start doing different things each?

[naive magnet]

They are 3 sets of 2

[remote lintel]

what do you mean the same

[naive magnet]

Moon, sun and star

[remote lintel]

they all buff people

[wheat plume]

Balance, Arrow and Spear have the same description

the same goes with bole, ewer and spire

[remote lintel]

they all apply a buff

[open ember]

Because those 3 go to Melee/tank

[remote lintel]

that doesn't change

[open ember]

The other three go to healer/ranged

[wheat plume]

yep, but the buff seems to be the same

[remote lintel]

it is

[wheat plume]

it seems like it would be the same if there were only 2 cards

[jade gate]

I currently play on PC but im curious how it feels to play on ps4. Do you have to rebuy the game for ps4 or does it transfer over? Thanks

[remote lintel]

yes but you need 3 seals

so it's 6 cards

[faint flare]

Rebuy the game

[jade gate]

Ty!

[wheat plume]

I'm just in lvl 45, when does those seals appear?

[faint flare]

50

With divination

[remote lintel]

they're already on the cards

but they don't do anything yet

[regal escarp]

i was a trade mentor, and now I fulfill the requirement for battle mentor, but somehow i couldn't apply for battle mentor at NPC

[wheat plume]

oh, and then there 3 cards that buff tank/melee will be different?

[faint flare]

Only in terms of seals

[remote lintel]

no they all do the same things

they only look different

[faint flare]

The buff is the same

[wheat plume]

the seals affect gameplay in any way?

[faint flare]

Yes

They buff your divination

[remote lintel]

!action divination

[zinc orbit]

**Divination** : lvl 50 AST (120.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

[wheat plume]

ok, thats what I wanted to know

thxs

[regal escarp]

is anybody know how to apply for battle mentor?

[remote lintel]

@regal escarp did you talk to one of the smiths at a main city

[regal escarp]

yes i talk to him, but the option to apply for mentor is grey out ( while the upper requirements are all checked)

[reef oracle]

Quick question: my leatherworker is currently at i500, but still 86 control short of the requirement for the latest items as far as crafting them, is food the only way to hit the required control level of 2540? I'm currently sitting at 2474

[faint flare]

Food/pots/change your melds

[reef oracle]

See the problem is that with the white scrip gear, I can't actually meld

[faint flare]

Then get Aethese

Aethese is superior

Especially since you'll be heavily lacking in CP

Which will make it far harder to make things HQ even when you hit requirementd

[tulip skiff]

How do I check my play time?

[faint flare]

/Playtime

[manic flare]

[tulip skiff]

Ty

[wheat plume]

In Iddlishire there is a npc Splendors Vendor, who says that can only offer services after approval from House of Splendors

how do I get that?

[kindred minnow]

should i reset one of my retainers to miner? (both are PLDN)

[wintry chasm]

That's some crafter stuff

[remote lintel]

!faq scripunlock

[zinc orbit]

House of Splendor Unlock Quests

Unlocking scrips (Foundation x10, y10.)
Unlocking Idyllshire's House of Splendors (Mor Dhona 22, y6)
Unlocking Rhalgr's Reach House of Splendors (Rhalgr's Reach x10, y12)
Unlocking Eulmore's House of Splendors (Eulmore at x11, y10, on the top floor)

[wintry chasm]

Gotta d-

that

[remote lintel]

@kindred minnow if you want

there's no point having 2 combat retainers

[kindred minnow]

ahh ty

[wheat plume]

must I unlock all those in order?

[wintry chasm]

Yes

[wheat plume]

The 4 of them unlock only stores for crafting items?

[weak escarp]

Feels bad man

[remote lintel]

very important stores

[wintry chasm]

Not entirely but mostly Khell

[weak escarp]

Cant strafe with magic

[remote lintel]

you can kind of

[wintry chasm]

You also need to do stuff like that to unlock custom deliveries like Zhloe

[fair blaze]

Hey does anyone know when the sprout goes away for your character?

[remote lintel]

with slidecasting

[wintry chasm]

Which are super important crafter stuff

[weak escarp]

Hows that work?

[remote lintel]

7 days and when you reach shb @fair blaze

[weak escarp]

Only worked for me for instant casts

[remote lintel]

you move right before the car bar fills and it will keep filling and go off

[wheat plume]

What important things do they sell there?

[weak escarp]

Oh nice ty

[remote lintel]

master crafting books and stuff

[weak escarp]

Anyone got a list of summons with the lvl u unlock b4 the summoner job?

[remote lintel]

you only get 3

[weak escarp]

Currently unlocked this rabbit with like 4 tails

[remote lintel]

yes

[weak escarp]

Can u name em?

[remote lintel]

no

[weak escarp]

rip

[remote lintel]

they're all carbuncles

[wintry chasm]

No but you can unlock a glamour system to make them look different

[plain python]

does quick exploration for retainer worth it?

[remote lintel]

until you unlock summoner

[plain python]

or should I stick to hunting?

[weak escarp]

Ah okay

[manic flare]

when would you use meditate as a samurai?

[remote lintel]

down time

[wintry chasm]

When there is downtime when you can't hit the boss for a while

[remote lintel]

@plain python for leveling no

[wheat plume]

great, that's what I'm aiming for

[plain python]

what do lv70 crafter/gatherer use for gear? lv70 script gear?

[wheat plume]

I want to know if I already did the side quest Inscrutable Tastes, but I dont know in which category is in the Journal, I'm searching in Sidequest - Ishgardian Sidequests but it isnt there, and the NPC who gives it isnt giving it

or is it in another section on the Completed quests?

gamerscape says the requirment is having finished a MSQ I already did

[gritty oracle]

Does bristle work on the dot part of Aqua Breath? Is Aque breath high voltage spam viable in dungeons and raids?

[simple pine]

when garlanddb says you need this

https://i.imgur.com/4dkSJ5K.png

does it mean you need 17 total

or 17 x 3?

[little swift]

Depends on what you're making

[buoyant sorrel]

Do i need a fantasia to change my eye color

[little swift]

A full set of exarchic probably won't use more than 17

And yes you do

[buoyant sorrel]

Aw man

[little swift]

People default to rams voice dragons voice + primal spells for dungeon pulls. Then its your favourite filler 220pot spell while waiting for buffs to come up

Sharpened knife and electrogenesis are other common ones

[twilit arch]

when you craft it, it makes 3

[little swift]

Its should be 6 crafts total

Not entirely sure what the (3) is about

[twilit arch]

because 1 craft = 3 alkahests

its like when you craft food

you make 3

[little swift]

Yah but if you need 17

Thats 6 crafts kael

With 1 left

[twilit arch]

yes, the (3) is just indicating you're making 3 per craft

[little swift]

Ah I see

Smol brain confusion

[leaden ginkgo]

power ranks are relevant in this game or some classes have a really hard time doing the most difficult content?

[little swift]

No

Meta is irrelevant

[remote lintel]

all classes can do all content

[little swift]

Jobs are really well balanced within their roles

And the difference between them is miniscule so you can clear on any job

People would rather you play something you enjoy well rather than be bad at something "meta"

[leaden ginkgo]

cool, i wanna play mch but i saw some power ranks placing it pretty low

[little swift]

Who did you see this from? Was it a YouTube video

[leaden ginkgo]

youtube videos

[remote lintel]

if it was a youtube video its most likely an opinion

yeah

[little swift]

Was it from desperius?

[leaden ginkgo]

yes

[remote lintel]

his power rank videos are subjective

[little swift]

Hes also known to not be quite accurate in his information

Its a tier list

[faint flare]

Tier lists are stupid

[little swift]

In this game they have no place

[faint flare]

Tier lists are all opinion based

[little swift]

Though he does point out its a personal opinion

Its not something worth relying on

[remote lintel]

the only place that accurately measures the meta is the Balance and even then all the classes are close to each other to not matter

[gritty oracle]

Thanks!

[little swift]

Fflogs would be where the data comes from

But its not a difference that is large enough to not clear content

It would almost always be a player skill issue over a job/comp issue

[leaden ginkgo]

cool, some games force you to play the "meta", nice thing that in ffxiv this isnt a problem

[faint flare]

Balance actually exists here

Unlike other games

[remote lintel]

this isnt WoW

[gritty oracle]

Also, should I use Thundercloud procs solely to move out of an aoe? I'm baby black mage, would appreciate any tips. Guides probably all focus on endgame rotation

[fresh lodge]

Use them when you need to refresh your dot, the buff is about to run out, or for movement

Though there are better skills for movement

[little swift]

In aoes just use them as you see them

[manic flare]

@leaden ginkgo is WoW like this?

[remote lintel]

WoW is known for having a pretty big meta

like if you pick a certain class you just cant do endgame content

[manic flare]

So not all classes are viable?

[remote lintel]

no i dont think so

but thats #video-games-general

[plain python]

does dye make an item bound to you?

[twilit arch]

no

[manic flare]

how many hours do relic weapons take?

[remote lintel]

a week

for ARR prob 2 weeeks

[manic flare]

wa

whats the most time consuming part

[remote lintel]

depends on the relic

[simple pine]

depends on each relic, but they are all designed to be grindy

[fresh lodge]

Ehhh

[manic flare]

it's not jsut a bunch of quests?

[fresh lodge]

It depends how hard you grind it each day

[remote lintel]

it is a series of quests

[fresh lodge]

The HW relic will probably take you a while if you're only getting poetics through roulettes

[twilit karma]

It's a bunch of quests yes but many of those quests have long and/or multiple step processes to complete them

[manic flare]

how many poetics do u need?

[remote lintel]

like 15k?

[twilit karma]

HW is 20-25K iirc

[remote lintel]

that sounds a bit much

[twilit karma]

It's less if you're a crafter or gatherer

[little swift]

No that might be on the low end if you only use poetics

[twilit karma]

But if you need to do sand that way, yeah that's about it

[fiery falcon]

How do you get the Calf Leather?

[little swift]

New map drop

[remote lintel]

zonureskin map

[fiery falcon]

thanks!

[cold steppe]

when i cast synastry on a tank, and heal him does he get % of that heal as well? Or does it have to be other ally that gets healed?

[twilit karma]

He gets it

[remote lintel]

you can use it on the same person

[twilit karma]

still will only apply to single target spells though, so no AoE or Essential Dignity

[cold steppe]

gochu

[little swift]

It says healing magic specifically so gcds

Same applies for neutral sect but that let's you use aoes as well

[twilit karma]

spells is the operative word there, so abilities don't count hence why ED doesn't work w/ synastry

[cold steppe]

huh, as you mentioned essential dignity, thats surprising cuz i'd say it is "single target healing spell" after all 🤔

[remote lintel]

no

[cold steppe]

unless spells are specyfically called GCD's

[remote lintel]

ED is an ability

ogcds are abilities, gcds are spells

theyre specifically labeled

[cold steppe]

ah you're right

they have spell/ability on'em when hovering, intresting

never noticed it before

[twilit karma]

Yep, that's why it's super important to really pay attention to every word in a tooltip because those things are where people get tripped up

[cold steppe]

so for eample aspected benefit regen also should apply since thats single target SPELL

or does it only take initial heal value and not regen healing from spells?

[little swift]

Its initial value afaik

And asp ben doesn't have that its just a regen/shield

[cold steppe]

🤔 i see

[remote lintel]

it has an initial heal

[twilit karma]

Yeah I've never tested that but if it followed the standard snapshot rule one would assume the Regen would get the extra healing as well

And yeah AB has a on hit heal and a Regen (in Diurnal) not just a HoT

[little swift]

Thats true

Test it

[cold steppe]

im right before 50 but thats why i asked, to more or less know how it works lol

[blissful lava]

Hello, what's the best way to get the unidentifiable items for the HW Relic Weapon?

[remote lintel]

buy them from your gc

[blissful lava]

I already got those, I'm talking about the unidentifiable ore, bone, seeds & shell

[little swift]

Poetics

1500 per set of 10

[blissful lava]

No other way?

[little swift]

Beast tribe currency

[remote lintel]

you can do the alexander raids

[little swift]

And Alex tokens

[onyx kiln]

can you turn of the ambient city sounds that plays when ever you are in a large gathering in town?

[blissful lava]

Alex Raids?

[onyx kiln]

alexander

[gleaming mist]

the regen/shield from aspected benefic will not be affected by synastry

only the initial heal

[blissful lava]

Yes I know Alexander Raid, question is.. which and why?

[remote lintel]

@onyx kiln it should be under system config > audioo

[little swift]

The tokens can be traded in for stuff

[blissful lava]

Oh Thank You guys

💙

[robust notch]

Does Dragon Sight buff Queen Automaton?

[gleaming mist]

no

[robust notch]

Doesn't Queen snapshot though?

[gleaming mist]

it's a pet

buffs aren't mirrored to pets

[robust notch]

Ooh, I see

Makes sense, ty

[twilit karma]

Queen doesn't snapshot no. But it does get raid buffs

But not single target buffs

iirc

[gleaming mist]

mhm

it'll reflect other buffs like div/litany in real time

and fall off when they fall off of you

but dragon sight does not mirror to pets, making jobs with pets less efficient targets for sight

[mental garnet]

is there a precedent for what sub-patch number the ex trial mount becomes purchasable via totems?

[robust notch]

My friends have been talking complete bullshit

[mental garnet]

or is it random

[faint flare]

Usually 2+ patches away

[mental garnet]

kk

[gleaming mist]

the ex trial mounts will usually be buyable with totems 2 major patches later

[mental garnet]

cool cool

[verbal rune]

Question about DNC

Should I use the Step dance on cooldown, or wait for it after 50-55 seconds?

[hasty musk]

which one

standard step I'm assuming

[verbal rune]

Standard step

[gleaming mist]

press it on cd

[verbal rune]

Since I'm leveling it

[hasty musk]

it's a 1000 potency aoe, always use that shit

[verbal rune]

Makes sense

It's that the damage isn't listed anywhere

And the 60 seconds baffled me

[hasty musk]

it's on standard finish, that's why

[gleaming mist]

How much is the single character sub again?

[dense sigil]

been using it when i know i cant cast a heal in time ( i dont have access to blood lilies in dungeons yet bc most are lvl 50)

@dense sigil theyll have a buff

abuse bene

@opaque pewter 12.99 usd

[opaque pewter]

okay thx

[dense sigil]

ok bet thats what ive been doing @remote lintel

also, ive been reading a lot about weaving, and im honestly a little confused by it. like casting instants in between gcds or whatever it is

[remote lintel]

you use ogcds between gcds

[dense sigil]

i feel like i dont have a lot of instants right now

[remote lintel]

thats weaving

you get more

[dense sigil]

im lvl 58

so i assume it becomes easier at a higher level?

[remote lintel]

it becomes easier when you learn how to do it well

at most youll weave 2 ogcds between gcds

[dense sigil]

is there an ideal rotation of spells to weave in between gcds?

[remote lintel]

as a healer not really besides in your opener

youll mostly be weaving heals as you need them

if i wanted to look up on the wiki all the glowy type weapons what would i search for or what would they be categorized by

[remote lintel]

nothing in particular

relic weapons, potd weapons, crafted primal weapons, and some pvp weapons are all glowy

[cold steppe]

i kept wondering, i started lvling new classes but should i even bother with other classes for now as begginer to decide what i like more and such, or maybe i should just kinda focus on one class and basically get the best feel of the game i can before branching out?

[remote lintel]

up to you

[glacial narwhal]

at which level does the game become interesting?

[remote lintel]

interesting how

[turbid dust]

Where are you right now?

[glacial narwhal]

not being gated by fetch quests and having more than 3 buttons to press

[turbid dust]

Well, if it's anything, the story past the base game is quite good

[glacial narwhal]

level 34, and doing lvl 27 story quests

[turbid dust]

Yeah, ARR can be slow

[remote lintel]

there are less fetch quests in the expansions and at low levels youre missing most of your skills

[turbid dust]

^

[glacial narwhal]

im pretty damn sure even TERA had faster leveling before they cut the quest amount by 80%

and that was a slog

[remote lintel]

you level with the story in this game

[faint flare]

Yeah but it was also garbage

[remote lintel]

everything is story locked

and the story is long

[dense sigil]

but the story is good

im on heavensward and it picks up a lot

even the end of ARR is really good imo

[glacial narwhal]

the lvl 20 ifrit fight was quite interesting

but the doungeons are just bad

[turbid dust]

Yeah, the trials are awesome

And I agree, I dislike some of the early dungeons lol

[remote lintel]

wym bad

if you mean easy theyre supposed to be easy

[glacial narwhal]

you can just ignore mechanis and focus on killing the boss for the dungeons

[remote lintel]

thats just ARR

[turbid dust]

^

[faint flare]

Thats most dungeons to a extent

[glacial narwhal]

not to mention they only have one mechanic in the first place

[faint flare]

Dungeons dont do damage

[turbid dust]

Mobs start doing a crapton of damage later on though

[remote lintel]

because youre low level

[turbid dust]

By later on I mean in the DLC

[remote lintel]

they introduce more mechanics at higher levels

[turbid dust]

I'm only in ShB now, but I've heard that the mobs do a crapton of dmg

[dense sigil]

honestly a few of the lvl 50 dungeons and trials ive looked up mechanics

[glacial narwhal]

nad really

having only 2 useful attack skills from lvl 4 to lvl 26 is mind boggling

[remote lintel]

are you doing your job quests?

[dense sigil]

^

[turbid dust]

Classes get way more fleshed out in the later levels

Like 70-80 they get a looooot more abilities

[faint flare]

Because majority of jobs are top heavy with skills

Low levels for majority of jobs is terrible

[turbid dust]

Lancer imo is one of the most boring early

[glacial narwhal]

im leveling rogue and i'd imagine just making the hide+trick attack more useable for killing stuff would change a lot for the early feel

[remote lintel]

at later levels you get a skill that applies hide mid combat

basically

[tacit atlas]

You mostly use hide on pre-pulls after you get suiton

[faint flare]

Huton

[glacial narwhal]

yea but what if you reset cd on kill for both hide and trick attack upon kill so you can use it to move from mob to mob

[remote lintel]

its suiton

[glacial narwhal]

would make it way more interactive

[faint flare]

Sution puts you in combat

[tacit atlas]

I meant for trick attack

[faint flare]

So you cant hide

[remote lintel]

because people hardly farm mobs like ever

[glacial narwhal]

right now i just stand there and press 1 to 3 in order

[remote lintel]

are you doing your job quests

[dreamy warren]

Can anyone tell me where the setting to turn off previously viewed cutscenes is?

[glacial narwhal]

havent beein doing the lvl 30 one yet

[remote lintel]

do them

youre missing your dot

[tacit atlas]

That's the one that lets you unlock your actual job

[remote lintel]

and your second mudra

and your third mudra

[faint flare]

And being Ninja

For mudras

[remote lintel]

^

true

no wait ten and chi are the 1st and 2nd

[faint flare]

Mudras in general will give you more to do

Always do job quests immediately

[glacial narwhal]

whats a mudra

[faint flare]

Ninjas core mechanic

[remote lintel]

something you would know if you did the ninja unlock

[faint flare]

They let you execute different skills depending on the order you press them

You're basically missing like 3 different skills

[remote lintel]

ninjas get 3 buttons that they press in different orders to execute different actions

[faint flare]

Because you're not doing job quests

[glacial narwhal]

oh yea, carl from dota

[faint flare]

Shadowfang and 2 different mudras which open up 3 different attacks

And mudras have 2 charges with 20s cooldown so you get alot more to press

So go do your job quests

[sweet leaf]

is it possible to report players who are griefing a newbie for no reason?

[faint flare]

You'll get buttons to press

[remote lintel]

system > support desk > contact us > harassment

[tacit atlas]

Yes

^

[sweet leaf]

well i shouldn't say no reason, since we were attempting to explore sunken temple of qarn and they were rushing us and telling us we didn't need certain things

[remote lintel]

thats not really harassment unless they were being mean

[sweet leaf]

"kids these days" was on of their messages

[remote lintel]

if its just one guy you can vote kick them

[sweet leaf]

it would have been 2 against 2, and we didn't even know vote kick was a thing

and they pulled the boss after we explained one of us being new and wanting to explore

and the newbie wanting to explore was the tank

[remote lintel]

you can try reporting them

[reef knot]

so ive reached lvl 72 and xp has slowed down from dungs/quest but i'm still in heavensward is the only way to get good xp from the roulettes?

[remote lintel]

exp has slowed down because youre way overlevel

[faint flare]

There's no need for more xp

[remote lintel]

so its barely making a dent for you

[faint flare]

You're way to overlevelled

[remote lintel]

pick up another class

[reef knot]

ahh ok

[faint flare]

Your level is meaningless until you finish story

[sweet leaf]

yes, and yes but don't feel bad about ending up overleveled. I ended up at level 80 before i even finished HW

[remote lintel]

[sweet leaf]

also, if you're on a preferred server, the xp boost is road to 70, so that's why it would have slowed down

(which is why i hit 80 so fast)

[reef knot]

o yeah im just wanted to max my first class before i can try the others out

[remote lintel]

theres 0 reason to do that

you dont need to be max level for the armoury bonus

[leaden ginkgo]

can u transfer to preferred worlds for free?

[remote lintel]

only if your world is congested

[faint flare]

Only if your server is classed as Congested

[leaden ginkgo]

yes

ok prefect

[remote lintel]

you wont get the buff

[reef knot]

what's the armory bonus?

[remote lintel]

!faq armouryexp

[zinc orbit]

Armoury EXP bonus FAQ

'How do I get the bonus experience from the Armoury?'

As long as you're playing a Disciple of War or a Disciple of Magic class that's a lower level than your highest level class then you're able to benefit from the bonus experience. You do not need to have a class at level 80 for the bonus to be active.

'How much is the bonus experience?'

You get +100% experience from levels 1 to 69, which then reduces to +50% for level 70 to 79. The difference in level between your current class and highest class does not change the amount of experience you get.

[faint flare]

Maxing a job doesn't help you in any way because you probably cant even use most lv70+ skills without the job locked skills in the 60s

[reef knot]

o wow nice thank you

[faint flare]

Maxing a job doesn't help you in any way because you probably cant even use most lv70+ skills without the job locked skills in the 60s

[reef knot]

yeah thats true i cant use them most of the time

[remote lintel]

just pick up another class and do the msq with that

[sweet leaf]

yeah, i was a WHM at level 75 and had no idea what Tetragram and Thin Air were

[reef knot]

gotta rush to shadowbringers then xd

[sweet leaf]

because i was way overleveld

[patent citrus]

get 1 tank, 1 healer, 1 physical dps and 1 magical dps to lv 70 when you finished SB if you can 🤔

to be able to do all the role quest later on

[remote lintel]

you dont need to but if you want to yeah

[crimson wind]

Should I hit triplecast during UI

[cold steppe]

wait, does target on mouse macro for example, play a card on astro works when hovering over a person on your party display?, similar with rescue/heals?

[faint flare]

Yes

[crimson wind]

sometimes it comes off cd during ice phase and Idk what to do

[remote lintel]

yes but its not optimal

at all

[faint flare]

It executes the skill on the person you hover over in the party list

[cold steppe]

i feel like it can be good, in certain situations anyway, especially for cards.

[remote lintel]

macros are never optimal

[faint flare]

It falls under 'macros are shit in general due to lack of skill queing"

[cold steppe]

hmm...

but im sure macros have some use, like warriors holmgang on myself kind of thing?

[faint flare]

No

[cold steppe]

[remote lintel]

the only use they really have is to put stuff in the party chat

when you use a skill

but even those are eh

[faint flare]

It doesn't make a difference if you target anything with holm

[cold steppe]

doesnt holm break if your target dies tho?

[faint flare]

No

Thats not a thing anymore

It doesn't chain the target

[cold steppe]

ah ic, i remembered it does when i checked classes back when and i thought it still does : o

[faint flare]

That was pre Shadowbringers

[crimson wind]

Holm breaks if the target moves away

[thick summit]

it chains/roots the target but doesn't root you anymore

[crimson wind]

So don't Holm while targeted

Believe me, I've been killed by it before

[little swift]

it stops if the target dies

so /holmgang <me> for consistence

[crimson wind]

I was using WAR in e9s, Holmganged for Anti Air uptime and right as she moved my chain broke

[patent citrus]

why I can only see phoenix down sold in the market 1x

.>

can one carry more than 1?

[tacit atlas]

nope

[open ember]

You can only carry one at a time

[patent citrus]

argh

ty ty

[tacit atlas]

Just like maps in that way

You could give one to retainer, Chocobo saddlebag and stuff like that if you want more for some reason

[tacit atlas]

You can't create new characters in there rn

Yup

[karmic palm]

hi, i'm just getting into the game, and about to purchase. Can someone tell me the diff between the SE version on their site and the Steam one? Let's say I buy from SE and a new expansion comes out later. Can I buy the expansion from Steam and still use it with my base SE game?

[remote lintel]

no

whatever platform you choose youre locked to

[karmic palm]

which would you recommend? in terms of sales and what not

[tacit atlas]

It's usually better to just buy from SE

[faint flare]

!status omega

Omega is currently Online

[faint flare]

[tacit atlas]

Unless you have a good deal with regional pricing

[karmic palm]

ik steam winter sale is coming in a few days, but just saw 50% off for complete edition on SE store

the warning scared me lol

[remote lintel]

how do I know if my rest exp is full

[ashen python]

Hey y'all! I'm looking for a good new player resource. Got my War to lvl 51 and I'm thinking about really diving into game mechanics, lore, etc. Will even settle for a low pressure FC. (I'm on Goblin if it matters) thanks!

[remote lintel]

resource for what

[patent citrus]

isn't job quest the lore itself? 🤔

or you didn't read and skip everything

[remote lintel]

it doesnt have all lore

[patent citrus]

ooo thought warrior lore

[crimson crystal]

How do I put a lost action on the special hotbar?

Yeah it's in my holster

[remote lintel]

thats mostly for lvl 80

[ashen python]

Lol I'll just keep looking through Reddit and watching this discord

[open ember]

Okay then click on it

And it should ask you which of thr two slots you want it in

[little swift]

you can also assign keybinds for "duty action" and "duty actions ii"

[open ember]

Because you can equip two at a time

But remember

If you replace one

[patent citrus]

yeh, lv 51 is too early to dip into mechanics I think 🤔 for now just relax and enjoy the story

[open ember]

You lose the old one

For good

[crimson crystal]

Hmm

It's an item if that matters

Maybe can't go on hotbar?

[open ember]

Items can be equipped on your hotbar yes

[crimson crystal]

Welp idk

I'll just use it from my holster I guess

[open ember]

Yea you can do that too

Stuff like essences can be used just once

[crimson crystal]

It's the Phoenix down

[open ember]

Yeah you can either drag it to your hotbar or use it from your Holister

Both works fine

[crimson crystal]

Okay, thanks. Sorry for the confusion

[open ember]

Np

It can be confusing but I'm sure you'll get the hang of it

[little swift]

just a note those are assigned as duty actions in bozja so you can assign keybinds for those in keybinds menu

Hey again What level can i pick a job (and can i change once i picked?)

[remote lintel]

!faq job

[zinc orbit]

How do I unlock my job?

To unlock your class' job you need to be level 30, complete all of your class quests and the main scenario quest 'Sylph Management' (lvl 20 quest) to be able to pick up your job unlock quest. Once you've done the initial unlock quest, you will be given a soul crystal which you must equip to become your class' job.

[remote lintel]

you can change classes after you do your lvl 10 class quest

[placid ridge]

Can someone explain to me what they did with the Zurvan weapons this patch? This is my first "current" patch and it seems to me that they added a new glam for those weapons?

[remote lintel]

they added the crafted glowing version

before you could only get it through token exchanges and they didnt glow

[placid ridge]

So they only way i could get a glowing version would be crafting?

[remote lintel]

or buying it off the mb

[placid ridge]

I just checked and did not see any for sale 😦

[remote lintel]

theyre going to be millions

[placid ridge]

But I guess now's good a time as any to lvl Blacksmith up

[tacit atlas]

Check on another world

I'm sure that there is at least one of the one that you want in your datacenter

[placid ridge]

Thanks for the info

[left lantern]

Thank you

[hidden lotus]

Excluding the latest patch's gear, what's better for a MCH; Augmented Crystarium, or YoRHa gear?

It would be Aug'ed Crystarium since it's i500, right?

[faint flare]

Augmented

Higher ilvl

Ilvl wins

[hidden lotus]

That's what I thought

[dull remnant]

Does anyone know if you can use your custom macros within your custom macro??

[remote lintel]

no iirc

[faint flare]

Macrod cant call or refer to other macros

[dull remnant]

Oh ok, thx

[faint flare]

Otherwise easy botting

[dull remnant]

You got a point. I just thought itd be easier if that was a thing to make a chain of macros for a glam contest

[faint flare]

Just use different gear setd with glamour plates

And use gear change macro

[dull remnant]

Its 5 macros long lmao. Im just gonna use echo to tell myself when to use the next one

Bc im including a lot of wait times/emotes/and moves

[faint flare]

75 changes and emotes?

[dull remnant]

Lmaoaoskka, not quite, but thx for letting me know about the macros. Have a nice holiday season

[faint flare]

Waits dont need to be on their own line if you have them on their own

[dull remnant]

Ohh, tysm

[dreamy warren]

What are Eulmoran Certificate of Novelty for?

[twilit karma]

They're used to get the Augmented Neo-Ishgardian gear

Basically exchange your regular Neo-Ish gear for the Certificates, buy some Undersea Rain with tomes, exchange both for the Augmented version.

[dreamy warren]

Ahh. Is that better than crystarium gear?

[faint flare]

Its equal

[twilit karma]

No, it would make them the same ilvl as Cyrstairum

[faint flare]

I490

[twilit karma]

But Crystarium can go to 500 when Augmented

[dreamy warren]

Where do you get the items to augment Crystarium gear?

[remote lintel]

trade for nuts or coins from the nier raids

[faint flare]

Hunts, nier coins or eden verse Savage

[dreamy warren]

ty

[twilit karma]

But it's all outdated now anyway. Better to spend your tomes on materials and get a crafter friend to just make you some Exarchic gear instead. Or sell the mats and just buy the exarchic

[dreamy warren]

I'm always one step behind...

Nah the drop rates aren't very good unless you're slaying like 10 mobs a minute which needs a party minimum

[patent citrus]

i saw a lot of warrior doing that

gather a lot of stuffs for the party, and the party just aoe'd them down

maybe they are also farming for this item?

WAR seems really OP in bozja from what i see.. they are self-sustain

[faint flare]

Higher ranks have better ratea

all the jobs are OP with the right potions and actions

there's an easier strat for that, "easier" but it's just like, a different way of thinking about the mechanic

[umbral ferry]

Hi I am new to this game. I am wondering what the differences between Chaos and Light datacentre?

[green grail]

you face the camera to look where boss is facing, identify the safe half
rotate the camera into the safe half, up to 180 degrees
safe spot is before the first clone you see, if there's no clone then the last slice on the safe half is safe

[faint flare]

There's none really

They're both in the same physical location

Is it normal for rabanastre queue to be 'more than 30m' even during peak times?

Are you queuing as tank, healer, or Dps?

[jovial tide]

Tank

[warped nest]

3 tanks spot out of the 24 spots

And take note that the number given by the game is the average wait time of players (of this role) who got in

[patent citrus]

anyone knows if this one available outside JP? just saw someone riding one. Heart ring is animated

https://www.siliconera.com/get-a-free-ffxiv-mount-by-buying-ffxiv-chocolate-at-lawson-in-japan/

[faint flare]

I think they put that on Mogstation

[patent citrus]

or in NA if anyone got one

[faint flare]

Recently

[patent citrus]

oh really?

no no, it isn't 🤔

[twilit arch]

hmm no

it won't be available outside of JP yet

since generally they run JP promos first

then eu/na

[jovial tide]

I guess it just wasn't updated, got a run after only 8 mins

[patent citrus]

hmm the doh/dol macro for ishgardian restoration leveling, I just tried it

Is it normal that it only reached the lowest collectability score?

[open coral]

The wait time is an "average" and not really a number to relied upon @jovial tide

[patent citrus]

intended/did i do something wrong?

[twilit arch]

which lvl one is it

because generally the low level ones, yeah they go for the lowest collectability because you really dont have the tools to go for higher tiers

[patent citrus]

ah ok

[twilit arch]

idk how much the basic > standard combo change affects things

but yeah when you're below 50 basically, aiming for higher collectabilities can be a bit rough

[patent citrus]

I'm uisng NPC gears hehe, but i met the stats requirement

ok ty ty

[twilit arch]

since byrgot's blessing is your like big finisher move

[manic flare]

what's npc gear?

[twilit arch]

and makes it a lot easier to max out

[faint flare]

Vendor gear

[patent citrus]

ah sorry, yeah that's what i mean

vendor gear

[manic flare]

i dont understand how to use byrgot's blessing

[warped nest]

Once you hit lvl 50 or so, you should start considering making your own gear

!action Byregot's Blessing

[zinc orbit]

**Byregot's Blessing** : lvl 50 CRP (24 CP) (0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Increases quality. Inner Quiet effect ends upon use.
Efficiency: 100% plus 20% for each bonus to control granted by Inner Quiet
Success Rate: 100%

Powered by XIVAPI

[manic flare]

does it work like inner quiet, except it's for progress rather than quality?

[twilit arch]

no

its for quality

[faint flare]

You get inner quiet up as high as possible

[warped nest]

It becomes more powerful the more inner quiet you have

[faint flare]

Then use it

[twilit arch]

it uses up your inner quiet stacks

[manic flare]

oh yea, wait im thinking of a different move

[twilit arch]

as i said, its like your "finisher" move for quality

[warped nest]

Bryegot blessing is your finisher for quality

[onyx kiln]

you can only get 1 sword per week of the current raid right?

[twilit arch]

yes

[warped nest]

Yes, John, for the latest tier

[manic flare]

i use byregot all the time, it's brand of the elements i dont understand

[warped nest]

You use it as finisher

[green raft]

am I doing something wrong when typing in a new name or is "Gabriel Cunningham" legitimately not allowed? and yes I checked if anyone else has that name before getting a name change so it's not that

[onyx kiln]

so it will take us 7 weeks after launch to get even 1 crypt weapno

[warped nest]

It is crap as normal move

[manic flare]

is brand of elements like byregot?

[twilit arch]

Not quite

[onyx kiln]

it boosts 1 skill

[warped nest]

!action brand of elements

[zinc orbit]

Error!

Action not found, Kupo!

[warped nest]

Oh, lolol

[twilit arch]

so basically you use Name of the Elements to boost Brand

[warped nest]

Yes

[faint flare]

Or 3 weeks if you clear e10s

As e10s drops the tomestone straight up

[twilit arch]

it can be a decent progress skill with name, but generally afaik you're not going to use it that much

[onyx kiln]

well, that aint happening for me 😆 😫

[patent citrus]

crypt weapon is 520 right?

[faint flare]

Yes

[onyx kiln]

530

[faint flare]

Upgradeable to 530

[warped nest]

530 when augmented

[onyx kiln]

ah

[patent citrus]

oh right

[faint flare]

Upgrade is in savage only for now from e11s

[onyx kiln]

but we can get those once the next alliance raid comes up right?

[faint flare]

Not immediately

For weapons

[onyx kiln]

need that coin

[twilit arch]

the weapon augment is always slightly delayed

[open coral]

The weapon stuff won't come out for like... 4 weeks after? I think?

[faint flare]

Also from hunts as well

[twilit arch]

but the armour/accessory augment will be immediately available with the nier coins

or hunts

[open coral]

It'll be in a 5.5X patch.

[faint flare]

So stock up on nuts prior to 5.5

[onyx kiln]

is the X.5 patches the last ones everytime?

[open coral]

Yeah

Before the next expansion

[twilit arch]

eh

[faint flare]

Last major major patch

[twilit arch]

last major patch, yes

we'll have some more minor patches

[onyx kiln]

so no more story stuff after that

[twilit arch]

with the msq broken into two halves

[open coral]

^

[faint flare]

Usually ends like 5.55 or 5.58

[twilit arch]

ones in 5.5, and one in 5.5x

was .56 for sb and hw

.55 for arr

[faint flare]

There or there about

[patent citrus]

these 2 boxes (kupo voucher) what do they mean?

[open coral]

There'll be a little more story in the very last .5X patch before the expansion, usually.

[onyx kiln]

wonder if we even get a hildibrand questline in ShB

[faint flare]

No

[patent citrus]

oh nvm found out..

ty ty

[open coral]

Nope

[faint flare]

Already confirmed we wont

[onyx kiln]

[open coral]

If we were going to get one, it would've started in 5.1

[onyx kiln]

that was what i figured

with so little time left it would been now or never

guess that 1 cameo is all we get

[urban mirage]

Hi! I'm a newish lvl 80 at around ilvl 486. What should my gearing progression look like now in 5.4?

[faint flare]

Do your weekly eden promise normal for tokens, cap revelation tomrs weekly...grab Emerald weapon if you want a step up...buy Exarchic HQ if you want quicker gear

[weak escarp]

So far the game seems fun. My eyes still need to adjust to the amazing graphics. Sadly my summon is trash his attack is some AOE shit. But not bad, not the biggest fan of the fetch quests thou.

[remote lintel]

you get your single target summon later

[weak escarp]

lvl 30 thou rigth?

[faint flare]

For the main damage one

You can somewhat use Summon 2 for single target but you lose access to a damaging egi assault

[twilit arch]

but you get a defensive shield in return

so its nice at low levels, pretty much won't take any dmg while its up

Not bad then

[modest igloo]

how do I unlock the new void quests for 5.4?

[patent citrus]

gotta finish all role quest i think

[buoyant sorrel]

What's the best to donate to the doman enclave?

[modest igloo]

ah ok

[patent citrus]

allagan silver piece, the piece that you received from 18 hours field expedition

[agile night]

so I'm looking at things like this, and wondering if there's anything I can do to improve it. the single screenshot doesn't make it obvious, but it's like there's no aliasing done on it. I have FXAA enabled in game, anyone tried enabling something more via nvidia control panel?

[patent citrus]

or you can just throw any trash that you suppose to sell to npc

[remote lintel]

thats just the texture

[honest anvil]

does one need to clear e9s to get to do e10s, and so on?

[patent citrus]

to craft something, all items have to be the same quality right?

like all NQ or all HQ

[honest anvil]

No

[remote lintel]

not to unlock them

[agile night]

right, I guess aliasing just isn't applied to textures

[remote lintel]

but for the rewards yes

[manic flare]

what's the difference between "of striking" and "of slaying"

[patent citrus]

all ingredients* i mean hehe

ok ty ty

[manic flare]

for rings

[patent citrus]

class restriction I think

[honest anvil]

Also is it true that if i do say e10s before doing e9s for that week, i’ll lose my e9s loot?

[proven sparrow]

trying to gather levin mint but the timed nodes aren't showing up?

[gusty storm]

just checking if i upgrade my spharai relic can i go back and get the unupgraded versions

[patent citrus]

striking DRG? slaying SAM/MNK

[gusty storm]

or should i not upgrade if i have the one i want the most

[remote lintel]

@honest anvil yes

@manic flare does the ring say "striking?"

[twilit karma]

Striking is left side gear for SAM/MNK. Slaying is accessories for all melee DPS except NIN

[remote lintel]

it should be slaying

melee accessories are all slaying iirc except ninja

[manic flare]

@remote lintel sorry the ring says slaying, but the belt says striking

[remote lintel]

the belt is for sam/mnk

[manic flare]

who uses slaying?

[remote lintel]

all melee except ninja

[manic flare]

what does ninja use

[remote lintel]

slaying are accessories

[twilit karma]

Melee dps, minus NIN. NIN uses Aiming instead

[remote lintel]

aiming

[twilit karma]

Because NIN is Dex based

instead of Str like the rest

[vast torrent]

So...Lets say I create a new character and I want to play one of the xpac jobs on it, Do I have to level an entire different class to get to that level or does it unlock somehow if I do the quest on a character whos an appropriate level.

[remote lintel]

you need to level

[vast torrent]

shit

[proven sparrow]

yeah this game is not alt friendly

[remote lintel]

creating a new character doesnt do anything

[faint flare]

Everything is character locked

[twilit karma]

For SB and ShB jobs you just gotta get to the right level (and own those expacs), for HW jobs you need to actually get to HW in the story

[vast torrent]

god I wanna play a lalafel astrologian.

[remote lintel]

fantasia

[vast torrent]

But i dont wanna do this whole ass story again

[patent citrus]

fantasia most likely 🤔

[twilit karma]

You'll get a free fantasia when you finish main ARR. Just use that

[vast torrent]

whats that?

[remote lintel]

lets you re edit your character

[patent citrus]

an item to change your appearance

[twilit karma]

Fantasia lets you change your character's appearance

[remote lintel]

not your name

[twilit karma]

Like, everything not just your hair
