fates are ok exp, can do them while waiting in queue
I've done HoH and PotD so much I have PTSD from them
leves are not good for combat jobs
they're primarily for leveling crafting/gathering classes
That's what I'm doing on rogue cause hunting log is not enough lol
sooo
Did miner 50-70 with leves
once i can log back in and buy those pants it should increase my ilvl alot or just some ?
That was epic
It should give you a good ilv boost
Since you'll go from ilv 90 gear to ilv 135 gear
is 10 feathers enough to get the pants and weapon ?

So without spoilers, do we ever get a better explanation about what Eden is and where it came from? I'm 2/3 of the way through the raid/questline?
yes
good
If I'm on the free trial and I want to get the game, I should get the complete edition right? It's on sale rn too
Do you want all the expans or just the base game?
all the expansions would be nice, I'd rather get them all while they're on sale
Complete edition would be your best bet.
Then complete édition is the choice lol
Is there any way to get the Shadowbringers collectors edition items if I get the complete edition, or do I just have to buy the collectors edition too?
Also you can think about collectors editions, don't know if they're on sale or not...but they have nice things like mounts and a couple of free fantasias for all your characters forever.
I'm not above spending $30 for Squal's gunblade lol
Is there a way to change your character's appearance?
Finish ARR you'll get a free fantasia
What does that let you change?
Collector edition items are locked behind collector edition
Everything
Yeah I misunderstood, my bad lol
Even race?
race, sex, appearance, everything
yes, fantasia lets you basically go back into the character creation screen
Thank you
the only things won't be able to change are starting class, birthday and patron deity
Uh
aesthetician lets you change hair, hair color, tattoos, eye color, scars, makeup
You can change patron deity
I had Halone the swag and I changed to Menphina the horny
deity is meaningless though
Yeah but Menphina the horny is more fitting for my character
Is that the official name? Bc it should be
Thought so...
But I say the horny
Does starting class mean anything?
You can't change it anyway
When you picked a starting class, it's your starting class
I mean, would it be a useful thing to change anyway
I've barely played but I already love a lot of what I've heard of this game
Like what?
Starting class affects your starting city, that's it
Once you complete the level 10 class quest for your starting class, you will be able to swap to any classes you want
And level 15 story quest will make you visit the other two starting cities
does buying the final fantasty 14 on square enix website provide a code for the steam version?
already bought the starter edition before on my steam account but i want to start another new account with a different email on steam lol
no
i cant buy the starter edition again on the same steam account damm
can i buy it on another steam account then use the code for my main steam account?
should be able to yeah

Is there somewhere that shows/notifies when servers are back?
the lodestone
Great thanks
Is the server back?
no
Okie
hey whats the trick to getting an ex clear? i cant join since people alwasy ask for duty completion but whne i make one my own, noone joins. is it really first week clear or youre SoL?
which ex
there should definitely still be people doing learning parties
ok ill try again. i spent all day opening practice pf and noone joined
do i need shadowbrigers to play as samurai?
yes
bruh
dead hours and also need to have correct keywords for your practice pf
like "fresh learning party"
well technically you need stormblood, but since you can't buy stormblood anymore, only ShB, then that's what you need
how hard is emerald anyway? i havent done ex trial in ages
ive heard its ok
if you're semi-competent at your job, not really hard
need to watch video?

hmm allright

site says its up
Can I join clans/guilds (not sure what they’re called) with the free trial?
No you can't join free companies
I died, How do I become not dead
Res pop up in the corner
Ty
You either respawn or someone can revive you
Hold down the confirm button
I think I may have exited out of that on accident
Again
Res pop up
In the corner
Its there
It can't go away
You just mimize it
hm...
Im sorry..I still dont see it
Also are there custom ui’s that I can install like WoW?
No because the ui is very customable with 3 different themes
I wasn't aware of a third theme?
when will 5.41 arrive?
Jan/Feb
The blue/classic ui theme
i see, thanks- thats when they'll release the first 48 man savage right?
you mean continuation of bozjan?

5.41 is ishgard only
wait its going to be over? housing and all?
oh thank god XD, i thought i was out of time to get gil
@kind burrow Yes man
dont start @shell creek
Ok
But it is the last ishgard restoration update
Would it be likely that the next expansion will be somewhere mid-late next year?
But dont expect ishgard housing anytime prior to the next expansion
good good....time to waste away on glamours, thanks a lot!
Usually expansions are in summer around july but covid pushed everything back by 2 months
We'll (likely) get more info in the big stream in February
Thanks
where can I find training dummys
I usually use the one in Ondo Top The Tempest
o
depends on your level really...
the first area you go to from any of the starting cities has dummies
western thanalan right outside uldah has tehm
central shroud near bentbranch has them too
but don't they die in 1 hit or so, lol
It doesn't matter
oh I hope not
or could always enter the housing district and find a dummy at someones house
They have infinite hp
They can't die
oo that kind of training
so you can hit them forever
also
question but do my weapons wear down when I hit dummies
I usually finished training when the training dummies reach 0 hp hehe
You lose durability when you die or mobs die
Note that gear does spiritbond when you enter combat
how often do maints happen?
basically usually only for hotfixes/major patches/ and minor content patches
without hotfixes this would be a once a month to 6 weeks sorta deal
I am so sorry but what is spiritbond
don't be sorry
I remember reading the in game desc but got confused
thats what this channel is for
Lets you create materia when spiritbond hits 100%
spiritbonding is just something that happens over time as you do stuff with gear
a little meter will fill up and you can extract materia from the piece of gear when its maxed out
Spiritbond can refer to two different things that are sorta tied together in terms of systems and lore justification
There’s that ^
open your action & traits menu -> general -> materia extraction
materia? like making new armor from spritbonded armor??
to check your spiritbond
Making gems
materia are stat gems
And also the fact that gear becomes bound (i.e. untradable) after you’ve used it—people often also call this spiritbond.
don't worry too much about putting materia into your gear now, its mostly an endgame thing
and even then pretty optional for a large part
It coincides with the spiritbond meter going from 0 to 1 percent full
do you get new wondrous trails options after beating an expacs msq
Can I use blessed harvest on harvesting a map?
nope @agile night
alright that's what I figured
Also, on the login screen it says theres a subscription time left? or smth like 29 days left (I forget xD) what does that mean?
Exactly what it says
you have 29 days of subscription
then you have to pay the monthly subscription fee to renew
I assume you've just bought Starter Edition and therefore got 30 free days
if you just activated your code, it's your free game time included in the complete edition hehe
Or Complete Edition yeah
Ahh i see, I just bought the 29$ version from steam haha
And if you dont pay the monthly subscription does it stop you from being able to play?
Yep
!faq mogstation
^ The FFXIV account management site
You can use Steam wallet to pay
but it has to be through mog station
Ahh okay, sorry for the newbie questions and thank you haha
(Late StB lore) ||So I just watched the ShB trailer, and it depicts Zenos defeated in Ghimlyt, yet if I remember correctly we just fall unconscious at the end of the duty and wake up in Foundation; I'm fairly early in the ShB story but will this be clarified later on in the MSQ? No spoilers please; thanks||
If you don't want spoilers we legit can't answer that lol
Duo?
ok. allagan weekly amounts reset. but roulette dailies did not.... did eden group 3 reset?
can we get 1 item per eden
or is that not till 9am pst
The raid weekly lockout is reset with weekly reset
so yes, you can get your eden loot for the week now
!weekly
||I can’t remember the exact events but basically a person comes in to distract Zenos so we could be taken to Ishgard to recover||
Also trailers should not be taken as literal events of the story and more as dramatization. HW trailer for example shows a horde of dragons that all look like Hraesvelgr
also the cgi trailers take quite sometime to finish and are usually worked on quite early one
so a few errors do slip thru, like the hrae horde
i saw a bunch of lalafels performing last night on limsa, Aether:cactaur (i think) but could not get their contact. does anyone knows their name or their schedule ?
@frank frigate remember to ask this in r/ffxiv too
im trying to set up my hotbar by removing empty keys but I dunno how to do that
that sounds rlly confusing
There should be an option in hotbar settings to hide slots you aren't using
in character config?
still can't find it
thanks
I heard there was something you can get at 80 or so that makes leveling crafters faster?
'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.
how do i get better armor
well this isn't spoilers necessarily. ||The trailers have always been a little liberal in the scenes it depicts like in the HW trailer if you want to rewatch that. We do beat Zenos in that instance as far as we knocked him down and he got back up. One could argue it's just showing that scene||
Can you be less specific? 
Oh I apparently misremembered a reddit comment wrong
They mentioned doing job quests at lvl 70 with something called handking gear?
I guessk it wasnt for leveling
Seriously though more information Doc
Story and dungeons and job quests cover you for the most part with gear
sorry my bad, like better armor from the stuff tou start with
You mean...the gear you start with at the very start of the game?
yes
Well, that's still extremely fucking vague but...main story will always keep you updated to the bare minimum that you'll need basically
i just got the game yesterday and its kinda overwhelming so i might have missed somrhing
This
^
ight
Oh, doing all the quests with yellow scrip gear gets you to like level 74
The only thing I would add is in terms of gear you want to do the hall of the novice stuff when you can just before your first dungeon to get an xp boosting ring
is there a lvl cap if i dont have shadowbringers?
60 on trial
^
Or owning starter edition
I'm not having any luck for a week getting any 1 of these done. Does someone have tips, I just want one clear.
cool thanks
Don't use duty finder
Extreme and Savage difficulty fights you aren't meant to duty finder
You'll never get a party for them in duty finder, let alone clear
I know it doesn't say "savage" but coil fights ARE that difficulty
Oh
So, is the unrendered rock really gone?
Sadly
i accidentally queued for a ramuh ex last time (jp dc btw) 
If you do a party finder party and say something like...."unsync first time bonus" that'll get at least one person to join and you only really need one other person to do those fights unsynced
if your level is high enough, i think you can solo the coils unsynced though.
Yes
To be fair JP dc is a bit different culturally and you can kinda get parties for extremes and stuff through df
Yeah its rare to find people doing coils synced
but for NA and EU no use party finder
Like this?
Umm yeah that's fair
I would do a couple adjustments but I don't think it'll add too much
If youre looking for a genuine experience then yes, but youll get less people coming
Remember to put unsync and remove role required
Like specifying unsyncing the fight or syncing the fight
You can remove the role requirements since the fights go by super fast when done unsynced
To let anyone join
You're unlikely to get people that are willing to do the fights synced
^
Especially on weekdays
If you want to do it Jam
you should do it unsynced
unless you have friends who want to do it
Also writing "first time bonus" would get people in, your wording already implies they'd get the bonus but it's nice to be sure
👍
Okay but do you want to sync or unsync the fight?
That's like, the most important part to put into the info
I've no idea what that means
so unsyncing is when you go into a fight without getting your level and gear synced down to the level of the fight
so you could go into these fights as a level 80 in level 80 gear
unsync
Ehh I wouldn't bother adjusting those limitations
Yeah just write unsync in the description
Alrighty
and fyi in order to unsync fights, when you're about to go into the fight, press the cog button in the top left of the duty finder, tick "undersized party" and then go into the fight
If I have a free trial account on PS4, can I use the same for free trials on other platforms?
PC/Mac
Yes
I see. Thanks
Just download whatever pc version you want and then log in IIRC
Yep
no, you can't
No?
you're locked into the platform you started the free trial on
Well at least you can use the same account for PS4 and PC after you buy the game, you just have to buy the game on both versions @cosmic pilot
what graphic settings affect the background thingy? it looks so dotty for some reason
looks like anti-aliasing is turned off
it looks about the same even after i turned it on
where did you take that screenshot? I might just try going there and messing with settings
summerford farms
is there a button that makes you cycle through your party list? I currently use 1 button just to easily click the second person on the party list but as a AST i feel it would help a little better if i could keep pressing that button to go down the list.
so the lost antiquity drops are like 1 drop per week per level, right?
so for getting the crypt weap, it would take me 7 weeks jfc, yoshi-p really wants me to be sub in.
weird, i don't have this kind of dotty in the background
3 weeks if you clear e10s (cause you need the 1k tomes still)
is the enmity list the same as the enemy list?
yeah, it should start with the main tank
okay
@leaden ginkgo try to take a screenshot of your graphic setting, might be the map resolution or grass quality

I can't seem to replicate it. I set all settings as low as they go and it's nothing like that screenshot.
Oh. I lowered the resolution. that made a difference
If your grass is set to low, try setting it to off
is there a way to basically reverse tooltip settings (instead of hover over show and press a button to hide, you press a button to show) I know you can just turn them off outright but...
@patent citrus using the high preset f or desktop
when do you unlock a mount?
lvl 20~ msq
msq?
main story quest
!faq mounts
'When can I get my first mount?'
The quest that allows you to use mounts, 'My Little Chocobo' is unlocked by completing the level 20 main story quest 'The Company You Keep'. The quest is located at the Grand Company base you chose and you'll need to buy the Chocobo Issuance from your Grand Company Quartermaster. You can get the 200 needed Grand Company seals by doing the main story quest that comes after 'The Company You Keep'.
'Are there any differences between mounts?'
Besides looks, all mounts are the same speed along with being able to fly. Some mounts allow multiple people to ride at once.
'Can I make my mount faster?'
Zones have one or two ranks of mount speed that increase the ground speed of mounts. The first rank comes from completing specific quests in the main scenario quests, with the second rank coming from Riding Maps which are bought with either Allied Seals, Centurio Seals, or Bicolor Gemstones. Mount Speed Boosts do not increase the flying speed of mounts.
I am not supposed to power through all the main quest right? Have to do side mission to level up to the main quest power
If you started on a preferred world the main story is more than enough experience
you can do that main story all the way
If not then you may need to do extra dungeons at certain points
would suggest you also create another job to get some of the MSQ exp
as you'll probably have too much
Pretty sure not
if not that is also ok
preferred world wdym?
just started and i was stopped by level requirement for main quest
if you are playing on a preferred world you should have a "road to 70" buff, which doubles exp received from all sources
while your job is below level 70
is there any such thing as auto pathing?
how to check preffered world?
No auto pathing
When making a new character preferred worlds are marked with a star
damm i think i missed that
!faq worldstatus
You can also look at this site
create a new character if you want the buff 🤔
like the last part when you finished creating your character
you have the choice to choose which world you will be playing on
well if it's a low level job, you could start over...
Not having Preferred isn’t the end of the world
And in the context of the elemental data center it’s probably better to forgo preferred bonus for the sake of more English speakers on your server
I recently made my newest alt on a preferred world and the exp is kinda nuts tbh
tonberry is the one with a lot of english speakers right?
I did 1-54 in like 11 hours
what is this?
Yes, with Kujata as the 2nd big one for elemental
Exactly what it says, use hide and walk up to him
alright so i just spam side quests to catch up to the main quest level
or you can just spam dungeon 😂
Side quests aren't really required
Dungeons are a better alternative if you have those unlocked
whats the lowest level dungeon?
peak time in JP atm or POTD
oooo
the main mission is 9
Hunting logs if you got that and fates are better
yeah, definitely hunting log
where do i find mentors
i got a tooltip saying i can get extra xp if i join the novicce thing
People with crowns next to their name
uhhh
They're usually several in town
You get xp when you're in a party with a mentor but that's so little and so socially awkward and shit just don't bother Souda honestly
Also the xp is if there's one In your party in the overworld
there, invited
at all
I'd avoid Novice network though, idk about other data centers but on Aether it's full of misinformation
Also said experience bonus is only like 20% up to level 20
im on tonberry
Which is very marginal
The mentor xp bonus os kinda irrelevant
NN on Tonberry is mostly social.
is yellow materia just never ever used in any bis?
damage meta damage meta
Tenacity overall is a “progression” meld that you really only take in ultimates
It sounds like maintenance wrapped up early according to the lodestone, can anyone confirm?
Yes
bit of a whm question, got it at 30. How is cure/cure II best used? I tried just doing cure II but ran out of mana. I probably also didn't use lucid dreaming soon enough either, but I don't think that was the whole problem
Cure basically never unless you're like 0 mana
Use lucid on cooldown
Like immediately
yeah i also experienced that at lower level of WHM, hehe
so apparently it is possible to pull all the mobs between the first and second boss in Shisui dungeon in one pull. didn't know that was possible
well I was mostly stone II. figured more cure II instead of cure -> more stone II
it gets better when you got your ironworks set
Also remember to use Regen/Medica 2 and any ogcd or mana-free heals you have (Tetra, Bene, Afflatus)
The mana-free healing mostly happens at higher levels though.
As a rule of thumb, you should always use Lucid Dreaming at no less than 50% MP, especially if your level and Piety are low. At higher levels you can often get away with, uh... forgetting to use Lucid until 20-25% MP and still generally be okay.
I generally recommend the first use to be done around 60-70% and then always using it whenever it’s ready after that
No real reason to hold onto it as it’s literal free MP
No reason to use it if you're at 90% MP though, even if it's off cd.
Is there a cutoff point where I should consider not using stone anymore if it gets too low?
I know I need to do dps, but worse than not doing dps is tank dying
Honestly that's a personal judgement call.
is there like a guild/clan system? ouo
You should have a good grasp on both your own mana consumption and the rate at which your party members are taking damage, and make a judgement based on that.
@versed aspen Yes. They're called Free Companies in this game.
Ahh okay! thats what people are talking about when they say FC?
Yep!
Ooo cool 😄
alright, I'll just keep doing dungeons and see what happens
Being a healer is 90% practice getting a feel for how far you can push your dps while still keeping up healing.
And 10% MP management.
WHM in general tends to have a much higher threshold for MP usage before we start panicking, particularly at higher levels where all the gear has so much Piety on it, and we have a variety of healing spells that cost no MP to cast while still being very powerful, as well as Regen/Medica2/Asylum for healing over time.

oh yeah I didn't even think about piety, current equipment has almost none
has anyone else gotten this code today?
for rotations, what does it mean to be on cooldown, filler, and burst?
is burst when the enemy become more vulnerable??
Usually solved with a VPN
Cooldown is the time it takes for a skill to become available again.
to be "kept on cooldown" is to hit it whenever its able to be hit
Filler is just that. the filler between certain points in your rotation
generally its whatever goes between your dps cooldowns (aka the ones that increase your damage)
and Burst is how much damage you can do in a few hits
specifically big hits, sometimes cooldowns.
When we talk about "using a spell on cooldown" we're usually referring to spells with more than the basic 2.38 (or whatever it is) "global cooldown" time.
!action Inner Release
Allows the use of Beast Gauge actions without cost and nullifies Stun, Sleep, Bind, Heavy, and most knockback and draw-in effects.
Additional Effect: Guarantees that all attacks are critical and direct hits
Duration: 10s
Additional Effect: Extends Storm's Eye duration by 15s to a maximum of 60s
See how it says "90.0 Second cooldown"?
For example, the caster class ability "Lucid Dreaming" has a cooldown of 60s, so when we say to use it on cooldown, we mean to use it when that 60s cooldown is up.
any mentors in typhon server i need an invite
Ask down in the #retired-jp-datacenters-eng
oh
can you put functional items like summoning bells, crystal bells in apartment?
so i generally use the cooldown rotations until a certain skill goes back up
Actually wait,
yes. thats called "filler"
you "fill" the time between your big "cooldown" skills
with things that don't really have a cooldown
basic abilities just on the gcd
I don't think those items exist as player housing items, but if they do, you should be able to use them in an apartment.
yes you can put them in your apartment

What materia should DRG focus on for their equips?
Does this game do giant events? So far, the only events I've seen are super simple quests (most of the time just an old event that is brought back) that can be done in like 10 minutes. When I used to play guild wars 2, christmas events were pretty huge and there were tons of things to do for hours, so I was wondering if they ever do anything like that here.
seasonal events are usually pretty short
cross-over events are a bit longer but generally not by much
Damn thats unfortunate...
I think it would be really great and keep the game refreshing between patch cycles >.<
If they do big crossovers, it's usually stuff like the Alliance Raids
What general seasonal events do they do beside Halloween, Christmas, and easter?
new year's, valentine's, anniversary, summer, and gold saucer
Seasonal events are short because if they put in any more dev time it'd eat up more resources than they want. Also, Corona
But there's short term events like FFXV, Dragon Quest, and Yokai
valentines day, game launch anniversary, little ladies day
Ugh... if their idea of an event is the yokai stuff... I'd rather have no event >.>
thats more of a collaboration really
usually lasts a long time if something requires grinding
So they've never done like mini games or whatever?
some events have minigames that get added to the toy box at the inn
I mean.... The NIER stuff is crossover content
last rising event had a puzzle
2 years ago i think it had a maze or something
halloween and valentine's also has duties sometimes
like a 2-person maze or a haunted house
A few years ago it had a unique instance where you participated in the last hours of 1.0 set in 2.0
Aw man I wish I played then
is it still possible to get the https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Magic_Bucket minion or was that event only
Which jobs had execution abilities before they got nuked in 5.0
Basically all physical DPS
Execution abilities?
Fished up from South Banepool with Brute Leech.
Below 30% HP abilities I assume
only usable at 30% below
you can still fish it up
Hello everyone im new i really want to try this game, and but it. But when looking at the website i see literally thousands of things and im not sure what i need for the actual game. Anyone who can help me. https://prnt.sc/w7unor I literally have no idea xD
mch, and ninja only i think
ah alrighty thought i'd ask cause it also said available during moogle event
bard
ty ^^
had an execute as well
Either Complete Edition or Starter + Shadowbringers
Both give the same codes
Alternatively,
!faq freetrial
You can play through the entirety of starter for free, with some limits.
so practically this one?
Yes
i post on discussion
eh
is it possible to be reinvited to the novice network?
problem so i dont live in the US so they can't 'ship' it. Where would i find the complete digital one
Once you've been invited you can only temporarily turn it off, I think.
I think if you leave the NN it automatically declines all future invites
I got removed from it for some reason
That's the digital code, so it'll be on your store account once the order goes through
I didnt finish 168 hrs
Do you still have the sprout icon
No its gone
Where are you in MSQ
right after I got to shadowbringers
Mmmmm sounds like you fulfilled the leave requirements then
It was gone actually
Oh that'd do it
ah isee
It's determined by your /playtime
Account doesn't matter, what matters is /playtime which is tied to per character and MSQ progress
22 days rn
Can confirm I've been playing for 3 years but most of my alts are still sprouts
So I guess there is no way to go back unless I become a mentor
Eeeeyup
damn I actually liked that chat
i love how when im doing the "Billing adress" my country aren't on the list for whatever reason lol
funny question haha, if I were to ask unironically "What are the best spells for fate farming on BLU at 60"
and I let's just say have all 80 spells
Haha just kidding but, what would be the best spells 👀
Make sure you're ordering on the right store
Codes are region locked
Greenland is on the NA one but Greenland is defnitly EU too
It's based on your SE account specifically
f me that means i have to re-register on EU ?
Welcome to the official SQUARE ENIX website. Find all the latest news and updates about your favourite games and upcoming releases.
That's for the NA website I think
Just try signing in and check your account details to see what region you're registered to
Just Google Square Enix Account and pick the top-ish link
But it sounds like you have an EU account yeah
i mean i think so @slate arrow
im alr logged in on here and at the bottom it says "rest of EU"
It's technically EU and other regions
Other regions being everything else outside of NA
So like, most of Asia for example
But yeah you'll need an EU code for your account
aye
Denmark came around this time
so im guessing im on the right one lol
it also looks sligtly different from the other one,
Yeah
they email you with the code
ight so I've just verified my purcase with phone code
now i just wait for the code itself ?
took 5 minutes for me
In your orders page under FFXIV complete edition there will be [View key]
click on that when it pops
and poof you can upgrade!
for samurai rotations after I do cooldown rotations which rotations do I switch to next?
burst?
So some worlds have XP buffs. Is it possible for me to get that xp buff aswell if I were to travel to the world that has it?
no
It's not exactly... as straightforward as that.
Fug
The exp buff is tied to your character
oh well
o how so
you get that buff because you make a character in a preferred world
You don't have different rotations. The sequence of priority for abilities as a whole is your rotation.
o
ok
currently I'm doing opener, then cooldown, but I don't know what comes after

im not sure if I should just refill the sen stacks normally after cooldown
The key to correct execution is knowing which of your abilities synergizes with others, and when to use your big cds.
thank you kupo bot
o
Eh...a cooldown just refers to any skill on a timer that isn't affected by your gcd
It isn't it's own rotation
huh?
wait actually lemme send what I'm following
after doing opener i start the "cooldown" phase rotations, but I'm not sure if there's a particular order of rotations sams usually do
and im still unsure with where to put fillers and burst
um hi, can anyone help me on how to redeem a code?
An item code?
ah no its a code for the full game
i also got a question agian, my Square Enix account is the one i use when logging in to the game right ?
mogstation
?
yup
Ok lets tackle this
"burst" is just a word used for the most damage you can do in a few abilities.
"filler" is just what you do between your cooldowns.
"Cooldowns" are things that increase you damage output while they're active.
thats the terms.
Ok in specific regard to this picture
the "Cooldown phase"
is what you do between waiting for your stuff to come back up
and the "Filler phase" is an endgame samurai thing based on how fast you are (by using skill speed on armor)
if you are just leveling. Filler phase isn't a thing
Now im confused,
i just bought the game and it says i dont have an account ?
and burst is only done when those long cds skills fully refresh??
Exactly. based on which spender you choose. which is fight dependant
if its going to die real soon, Midare better,
if its still got a while. Higanbana does more so use that
hi, do you have a link with the meaning oe the card images for crafting levequest?
(Higanbana does more over its duration than Midare does because its a damage over time skill)
ohh
I know the difference between them, but wanna know which one corresponds for which image
where is alvl 60 dummy?
so usually I start with opener, than a burst, and then cooldown until burst refills, and filler is stuff I should worry about later??
Yes. Or completely ignored. as going "slow samurai" is a thing you can do if you want
and "slow samurai" (aka: zero skill speed) doesn't have filler.
Your burst is basically just you repeating your opener every minute
Any clue about what? Top left, top right, and bottom right are the only possible places for the dual blades to appear.
with changes
So it's opener > cooldown > filler > burst > cooldown > filler > burst etc.
Clue on surely getting something
Weaver ?
Top left, top right, or bottom right. If something appears when you reveal one of those squares, you'll at least get dual blades by revealing the other five in a rectangle.
Otherwise, move on to the next.
ok
idk actually i'm just assuming lol
There is a 3rd location for dual blades
ok tysm!! 
welp this is going horribly 🤦♂️
I'd recommend picking the one c5 r2
Since that covers two options.
Both of the top right options.
vpn, browser change, mobile hotspot
I usually just quit and reopen browser
well
no, some give more exp, and some allow to give more of the same item for extra exp, each one has its own image, but i dont know which image is for each one
i can't confirm my account since this is in the game itself i made the account
is ACT down atm?
lol
oh k
or is mine just broken
Do you need to be a goldsmith or blacksmith to refine stones and metal?
understood. so just wait for act update then
yeh
@stark delta real talk. if you're on tonberry why is your discord role Aether?
can anyone help?
Tonberry is an Elemental server
patch always breaks opcodes because that's basically only thing se has against direct memory manupliation botting
wtf, i tried useing a different email of mine i just get the same error
i2501 error
Finally got through
you can try using VPN/Mobile connection/different browser/incognitio mode..
seems like my vpn was the problem
to any1, or whoever answer my question about possibility of maxing all GC standings, I did maxed 1 quite recently & then switched allegiance to other GC...
ah yeh or de-VPN
i turned off my vpn and it worked
How can I put the window color as blue
i finally got through and i think i need to redeem my code?
i got the code nws im just not sure what to do from where i'am rn lol
i dont got a clue what to do from here
Just take the code and redeem it on the mogstation website
" add new service account ?
yeah
Registration code, being the key i got right ?
yep looks like it's that one
are ephemeral node locations and times always the same?
Misc. question - if you use Terebinth to remove dye from gear, can you get that original dye back?
No
Cool cool, ty!
Dye is always consumed, never refunded
if i were to add the software token to my phone is it easy to remove agian? incase my phone breaks or w/e could happen to it.
well terebinth is the original dye right?
i mean it's basically repaint to the original dye..
hmm I think so, you just gotta login to your mogstation and remove it
software token is the one-time password right?
i mean, the one that adds security by replacing your password with new pass every 1 min
if its easy removeable incase my phone should stop working
yeh
cheers, ill add it than ;dd
just login to your mogstation account and remove the software token I think

nvm!
thanks lots
I'm pretty new to the game and trying to figure how how to be a effective tank, i used to do it no problem in Elder Scrolls Online but its different in this game, could anybody point me to a guide that will teach me how to use my Paladin tank properly and keep all aggro on me?
What was the ping command
pretty much just turn your tank stance on and hit mobs
i'm finding when i hit them, they still go after my friends playign dps and healer, even if i charge in first
Yeah, the key to keeping aggro as a tank is to a.) have your tank stance on at all times (there's no reason to turn it off) and b.) spam your aoe so you hit everything.
on eso there would be certain skills to keep them on you
As Paladin, you want to activate Iron Will and always have it on.
ok mate thanks i'll try that out
basically i started the game last week and my friends were high level so as a xmas present they bought me a level jump and bought me a paladin tank class, but i have been using a dps Archer all week so its thrown me off haha
Every tank has a stance like Iron Will that passively increases their enmity generation.
thanks @open coral
It has no other effect.
basically when i used the skip and new class last night it filled my skill bar with new stuff so i was confused as hell 😄
i'm not a big mmo player, i have played alot of ESO and guild wars 1
Your best option would be to remove all of the skills from your bars, then go through and put them back one at a time, reading the tooltips as you go.
yeah thanks thats what i'll do
Yeah, before running any content learn your class
Especially as a tank, everyone looks at you. If you fuck up anything you'll get shat on
yeah cheers guys, i assumed i was gonna be dps cos i was a archer and doing well, but we needed a tank cos we are only a party of 3
I mean, that's fair. But there are two dps slots in a party, so if one of your friends is a healer you can still get decent queues.
So you skipped everything ?
Although if you just started playing recently, I'd hazard that you haven't played through the MSQ? Your friends just bought you the job boost not the story skip?
You're probably gonna be disappointed cause endgame is kinda sore lol
well i was finding the story hard to follow and dated, plus my mates said the later story was better and properly voice acted etc
to be honest Kiyo i'm just playing to be social and to do dungeons so the story is no biggy for me
i always find final fantasy storys hard to follow 😄
As messy as it is, A Realm Reborn is still important to the rest of the game
And I guess you're starting at Shadowbringers ?
Cause if it's the case, Imma be honest: It's kinda pointless
Kiyo
ARR was basically a lot of world building. It sets up a ton of stuff for later expansion stories and gives you context for the whole world.
i dont need to explain to you Kiyo, i'll do what i please
ARR basically sets Heavensward and Stormblood up
Heavensward and Shadowbringers are widely considered to be the best story in the game.
#general-discussion please
o7
anyway cheers for the tips @open coral i'm back off to work, laters 🙂
Just saying one more thing because I get back to my btn farm
You're gonna be disappointed
¯_(ツ)_/¯
!action standard touch
It didn't combo
It's the same, just without combo
Oh got it
So a few leveling macro can be changed then
If its the same but without combo why would anybody use basic touch before?
It's so good now that it combos
Because it was cheaper to use
Ohh so the cp cost got changed by being in a combo
I got u
Needed to modify a few of these leveling macros i got
Unless anybody have any lvling macros updated for 5.4?
Ur gonna be disappointed with the game in that case since the story is the vast majority of the content in the game
You can skip if you so desire but
I believe that takes away like 80% of the game's enjoyabilty
so i tried upgrading my free trial account and...
been trying for a full hour now and i keep ending up in loopholes
for context: my friend had bought the game for me and im trying to redeem it
though i don't know how
You need to go to the enter code section
where do i find that ?
Should be a big banner at the top of the main Mogstation page
Your Account tab -> Enter Item Code
Unless its add license
this is what appears on my screen
Transfer to regular service
Oh I forgot free trial pages are different
upgrade via mogstation right?

i dont like the story, its way to complicated and poorly delivered, plus i can just watch a recap on youtube its no biggy, i'm sorry if thats not a popular opinion, but i'm not about pleasing people 😄
i'm playing it for the combat only
Poorly delivered yet you've probably never read it. A poor assumption for a ff game that is story first then combat second
i'm not into those kinda storys, can you not just accept its my opinion?
well not really my money if you read it back, my friends paid for everything, i was just here for tips on how to use the tank effectively, i have no interest in anime or final fantasy storys
Idk why you asked that question to begin with
what? i asked if somebody could give me a guide how to use my tank effectively?
Sora answered your question
!faq tankguide
I am adding to his statement
i know and i said thanks, then you guys kept pinging/tagging me cos you were offended that i dont have the same interests as you
Do what you want your money
i will so kindly, do one and stop tagging me
yeah once i had already said thank you
and left
and said i'm going back to work
dotn tag me
this place is toxic
anyone here is in the japan databank
can someone revive me lol i dont want to walk all over again
This isn't the place to ask for it
where to ask
Are you on free trial?
No
Use /shout
starter edition
And ask
oh
And someone should come
Just revive, you can teleport to an aetheryte that's like 20 feet to your right
