Fates are good for 1-15

twilit arch
#

fates are ok exp, can do them while waiting in queue

dry jolt
#

I've done HoH and PotD so much I have PTSD from them

twilit arch
#

leves are not good for combat jobs

#

they're primarily for leveling crafting/gathering classes

timid geyser
#

That's what I'm doing on rogue cause hunting log is not enough lol

amber jewel
#

sooo

timid geyser
amber jewel
#

once i can log back in and buy those pants it should increase my ilvl alot or just some ?

timid geyser
#

That was epic

#

It should give you a good ilv boost

#

Since you'll go from ilv 90 gear to ilv 135 gear

amber jewel
#

is 10 feathers enough to get the pants and weapon ?

twilit arch

yes

#

5 feathers for weapon, 5 for chest+pants

dry jolt
#

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?

scarlet sandal
#

yes

dry jolt
#

good

mint ferry
#

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

timid geyser
mint ferry
#

all the expansions would be nice, I'd rather get them all while they're on sale

hazy shadow
#

Complete edition would be your best bet.

timid geyser
#

Then complete édition is the choice lol

mint ferry
#

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?

dry jolt
#

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.

mint ferry
#

I'm not above spending $30 for Squal's gunblade lol

fading marten
#

Is there a way to change your character's appearance?

dry jolt
#

fantasia

#

and the aesthetician (sp)

mint ferry
#

Oh, so you can get that mog in game?

#

It's not locked behind the collectors edition?

timid geyser
fading marten
#

What does that let you change?

timid geyser
timid geyser
mint ferry
#

Yeah I misunderstood, my bad lol

fading marten
#

Even race?

timid geyser
#

What is it you want to change?

#

Yrs

#

Everything

dry jolt
#

race, sex, appearance, everything

twilit arch
#

yes, fantasia lets you basically go back into the character creation screen

fading marten
#

Thank you

twilit arch
#

the only things won't be able to change are starting class, birthday and patron deity

dry jolt
#

aesthetician lets you change hair, hair color, tattoos, eye color, scars, makeup

timid geyser
#

You can change patron deity

#

I had Halone the swag and I changed to Menphina the horny

dry jolt
#

deity is meaningless though

timid geyser
#

Yeah but Menphina the horny is more fitting for my character

twilit arch
#

right sorry

#

its just starting class that can't be changed

fading marten
#

Is that the official name? Bc it should be

timid geyser
#

It isn't

#

It's Menphina the lover

fading marten
#

Thought so...

timid geyser
#

But I say the horny

fading marten
#

Does starting class mean anything?

timid geyser
#

You can't change it anyway

#

When you picked a starting class, it's your starting class

fading marten
#

I mean, would it be a useful thing to change anyway

timid geyser
#

No

#

But it can't be changed

fading marten
#

I've barely played but I already love a lot of what I've heard of this game

timid geyser
#

Like what?

warped nest
#

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

leaden ginkgo
#

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

twilit arch
#

no

leaden ginkgo
#

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?

twilit arch
#

should be able to yeah

forest sage

well technically you need stormblood, but since you can't buy stormblood anymore, only ShB, then that's what you need

runic prawn

Same location as loot rolling notifications go

nocturne bear
#

Im sorry..I still dont see it

ripe python
#

Also are there custom ui’s that I can install like WoW?

faint flare
#

No because the ui is very customable with 3 different themes

nocturne bear
#

OH. I see it.

#

Uh thank you

jovial tide

I wasn't aware of a third theme?

kind burrow

faint flare
#

5.41 is ishgard only

kind burrow
#

wait its going to be over? housing and all?

faint flare
#

5.45 is bojza and relic

#

No housing

#

Housing hasn't been mentioned at all

kind burrow
#

oh thank god XD, i thought i was out of time to get gil

shell creek
#

@kind burrow Yes man

kind burrow
#

dont start @shell creek

shell creek
#

Ok

faint flare
#

But it is the last ishgard restoration update

jovial tide
#

Would it be likely that the next expansion will be somewhere mid-late next year?

faint flare
#

But dont expect ishgard housing anytime prior to the next expansion

kind burrow
#

good good....time to waste away on glamours, thanks a lot!

faint flare
#

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

jovial tide
#

Thanks

leaden ginkgo
#

where can I find training dummys

patent citrus
#

I usually use the one in Ondo Top The Tempest

leaden ginkgo
#

o

patent citrus
#

depends on your level really...

leaden ginkgo
#

uh

#

lvl 50 ish

faint flare
#

Summerford farms

#

For the easiest dummies

little swift
#

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

patent citrus
#

but don't they die in 1 hit or so, lol

faint flare
#

It doesn't matter

leaden ginkgo
#

oh I hope not

little swift
#

or could always enter the housing district and find a dummy at someones house

faint flare
#

They have infinite hp

oak ice
#

They can't die

little swift
#

they don't "die"

#

and don't despawn

patent citrus
#

oo that kind of training

little swift
#

so you can hit them forever

leaden ginkgo
#

also yoshiPain question but do my weapons wear down when I hit dummies

patent citrus
#

I usually finished training when the training dummies reach 0 hp hehe

faint flare
#

You lose durability when you die or mobs die

leaden ginkgo
#

ok

#

thanks

obsidian patio
#

Note that gear does spiritbond when you enter combat

versed aspen
#

how often do maints happen?

faint flare
#

Not often

#

Only for patches and hotfixes

little swift
#

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

leaden ginkgo
#

I am so sorry but what is spiritbond

little swift
#

don't be sorry

leaden ginkgo
#

I remember reading the in game desc but got confused

little swift
#

thats what this channel is for

faint flare
#

Lets you create materia when spiritbond hits 100%

little swift
#

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

jade quartz
#

Spiritbond can refer to two different things that are sorta tied together in terms of systems and lore justification

#

There’s that ^

patent citrus
#

open your action & traits menu -> general -> materia extraction

leaden ginkgo
#

materia? like making new armor from spritbonded armor??

patent citrus
#

to check your spiritbond

faint flare
#

Making gems

little swift
#

materia are stat gems

leaden ginkgo
#

ohh

#

OH

#

that explains those circle things in armor descs

jade quartz
#

And also the fact that gear becomes bound (i.e. untradable) after you’ve used it—people often also call this spiritbond.

little swift
#

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

jade quartz
#

It coincides with the spiritbond meter going from 0 to 1 percent full

potent lava
#

do you get new wondrous trails options after beating an expacs msq

agile night
#

Can I use blessed harvest on harvesting a map?

twilit arch
#

nope @agile night

agile night
#

alright that's what I figured

versed aspen
#

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?

jade quartz
#

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

patent citrus
#

if you just activated your code, it's your free game time included in the complete edition hehe

jade quartz
#

Or Complete Edition yeah

versed aspen
#

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?

robust notch
#

Yep

versed aspen
#

Ooo okay

#

where do you renew it?

jade quartz
#

!faq mogstation

zinc orbitBOT
jade quartz
#

^ The FFXIV account management site

#

You can use Steam wallet to pay

#

but it has to be through mog station

versed aspen
#

Ahh okay, sorry for the newbie questions and thank you haha

jovial tide
#

(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||

leaden ginkgo
#

If you don't want spoilers we legit can't answer that lol

jovial tide
#

Hm alright

#

I'll keep playing

wild wave
#

Duo?

leaden ginkgo
#

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

twilit arch
#

The raid weekly lockout is reset with weekly reset

#

so yes, you can get your eden loot for the week now

leaden ginkgo
#

ok

#

weird daily roulettes didnt reset

#

but i trust you

twilit arch
#

Daily and weekly reset at different times

#

!daily

leaden ginkgo
#

wait

#

ohhhh

obsidian patio
twilit arch
#

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

frank frigate
#

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 ?

warped nest
#

@frank frigate remember to ask this in r/ffxiv too

leaden ginkgo
#

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

leaden ginkgo
#

thanks

potent lava
#

I heard there was something you can get at 80 or so that makes leveling crafters faster?

oak ice
#

There's nothing like that

!faq armourybonus

zinc orbitBOT

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.

oak ice
#

Not even that works for crafters

#

But they level plenty quickly since 5.1 anyway

leaden ginkgo
#

how do i get better armor

wintry chasm
wintry chasm
potent lava
#

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

wintry chasm
#

Seriously though more information Doc

faint flare
#

Story and dungeons and job quests cover you for the most part with gear

leaden ginkgo
wintry chasm
#

You mean...the gear you start with at the very start of the game?

leaden ginkgo
#

yes

wintry chasm
#

Well, that's still extremely fucking vague but...main story will always keep you updated to the bare minimum that you'll need basically

leaden ginkgo
#

i just got the game yesterday and its kinda overwhelming so i might have missed somrhing

wintry chasm
#

^

leaden ginkgo
#

ight

oak ice
wintry chasm
#

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

summer estuary
#

is there a lvl cap if i dont have shadowbringers?

faint flare
#

Or owning starter edition

tropic frigate
#

I'm not having any luck for a week getting any 1 of these done. Does someone have tips, I just want one clear.

summer estuary
#

cool thanks

wintry chasm
#

Don't use duty finder

faint flare
#

Dont duty finder them

#

Use party finder

wintry chasm
#

Extreme and Savage difficulty fights you aren't meant to duty finder

faint flare
#

You'll never get a party for them in duty finder, let alone clear

wintry chasm
#

I know it doesn't say "savage" but coil fights ARE that difficulty

tropic frigate
#

Oh

inland zenith
#

So, is the unrendered rock really gone?

faint flare
#

Sadly

worthy basin
wintry chasm
#

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

worthy basin
#

if your level is high enough, i think you can solo the coils unsynced though.

faint flare
#

Yes

wintry chasm
potent lava
#

Yeah its rare to find people doing coils synced

wintry chasm
#

but for NA and EU no use party finder

tropic frigate
#

Like this?

wintry chasm
#

Umm yeah that's fair

#

I would do a couple adjustments but I don't think it'll add too much

potent lava
#

If youre looking for a genuine experience then yes, but youll get less people coming

faint flare
#

Remember to put unsync and remove role required

wintry chasm
#

Like specifying unsyncing the fight or syncing the fight

obsidian patio
#

You can remove the role requirements since the fights go by super fast when done unsynced

faint flare
#

To let anyone join

oak ice
#

You're unlikely to get people that are willing to do the fights synced

wintry chasm
#

^

potent lava
#

Especially on weekdays

wintry chasm
#

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

tropic frigate
#

👍

wintry chasm
#

Okay but do you want to sync or unsync the fight?

#

That's like, the most important part to put into the info

tropic frigate
#

I've no idea what that means

wintry chasm
#

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

tropic frigate
#

unsync

wintry chasm
#

and trivialise those fights

#

Then yeah just put "unsync" in

tropic frigate
#

I didn't put any limitations

#

so then it's unsyc?

wintry chasm
#

Ehh I wouldn't bother adjusting those limitations

#

Yeah just write unsync in the description

tropic frigate
#

Alrighty

wintry chasm
#

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

cosmic pilot
#

If I have a free trial account on PS4, can I use the same for free trials on other platforms?

#

PC/Mac

wintry chasm
#

Yes

cosmic pilot
#

I see. Thanks

wintry chasm
#

Just download whatever pc version you want and then log in IIRC

tropic frigate
#

Like this?

wintry chasm
#

Yep

twilit arch
#

no, you can't

wintry chasm
#

No?

twilit arch
#

you're locked into the platform you started the free trial on

wintry chasm
#

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

#

ok

onyx kiln
#

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.

worthy basin
#

so the lost antiquity drops are like 1 drop per week per level, right?

patent citrus
#

try keybind -> targeting

#

the cycle part

faint flare
#

From eden promise normal yes

#

1 per fight per week

worthy basin
#

so for getting the crypt weap, it would take me 7 weeks jfc, yoshi-p really wants me to be sub in.

faint flare
#

If you dont do savage

#

Yes

#

It takes 7 weeks

patent citrus
#

weird, i don't have this kind of dotty in the background

faint flare
#

3 weeks if you clear e10s (cause you need the 1k tomes still)

onyx kiln
#

is the enmity list the same as the enemy list?

patent citrus
#

yeah, it should start with the main tank

okay

Mounts FAQ

'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.

ripe python
#

ah ok

#

ty very much

leaden ginkgo
#

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

obsidian patio
#

If you started on a preferred world the main story is more than enough experience

cursive flare
#

you can do that main story all the way

obsidian patio
#

If not then you may need to do extra dungeons at certain points

cursive flare
#

would suggest you also create another job to get some of the MSQ exp

#

as you'll probably have too much

cursive flare
#

if not that is also ok

leaden ginkgo
#

preferred world wdym?

#

just started and i was stopped by level requirement for main quest

cursive flare
#

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

versed aspen

is there any such thing as auto pathing?

ah damm i picked tonberry

#

with my new charater

patent citrus
#

well if it's a low level job, you could start over...

obsidian patio
#

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

leaden ginkgo
#

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

patent citrus
#

yeh, 64% I think 🤔

#

Kujata is around 40%ish EN speakers

manic flare
obsidian patio
#

Yes, with Kujata as the 2nd big one for elemental

faint flare
#

Its instructions

#

On what to do

leaden ginkgo
#

alright so i just spam side quests to catch up to the main quest level

patent citrus
#

or you can just spam dungeon 😂

faint flare
#

Side quests aren't really required

obsidian patio
#

Dungeons are a better alternative if you have those unlocked

leaden ginkgo
#

whats the lowest level dungeon?

patent citrus
#

peak time in JP atm or POTD

leaden ginkgo
#

15

#

i am only like level 6 kek

patent citrus
#

oooo

leaden ginkgo
#

the main mission is 9

faint flare
#

Hunting logs if you got that and fates are better

leaden ginkgo
#

started as a sorcerer

#

1-15 do hunting log and fates

patent citrus
#

yeah, definitely hunting log

leaden ginkgo
#

where do i find mentors

#

i got a tooltip saying i can get extra xp if i join the novicce thing

faint flare
#

People with crowns next to their name

wintry chasm
#

uhhh

faint flare
#

They're usually several in town

patent citrus
#

oo I can invite you

#

a sec

wintry chasm
#

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

faint flare
#

Also the xp is if there's one In your party in the overworld

wintry chasm
#

Like

#

You absolutely don't need that bonus

patent citrus
#

there, invited

wintry chasm
#

at all

leaden ginkgo
#

I'd avoid Novice network though, idk about other data centers but on Aether it's full of misinformation

obsidian patio
#

Also said experience bonus is only like 20% up to level 20

leaden ginkgo
#

im on tonberry

obsidian patio
#

Which is very marginal

faint flare
#

The mentor xp bonus os kinda irrelevant

open coral
#

NN on Tonberry is mostly social.

wary swallow
#

is yellow materia just never ever used in any bis?

faint flare
#

No

#

Or extremely rarely

#

It doesn't give damage

leaden ginkgo
#

damage meta damage meta

obsidian patio
#

Tenacity overall is a “progression” meld that you really only take in ultimates

cloud badger
#

It sounds like maintenance wrapped up early according to the lodestone, can anyone confirm?

faint flare
#

Yes

obsidian patio
#

And piety is a “meld to your comfort” stat

#

The less you’re good with, the better

leaden ginkgo
#

Plus maint would have ended like over 2 hours ago anyways

#

So it's w/e

cloud badger
#

Ok good so I can play before work

#

Thanks all

agile night
#

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

open coral
#

Don't spam them.

#

That's the first rule.

faint flare
#

Cure basically never unless you're like 0 mana

#

Use lucid on cooldown

#

Like immediately

patent citrus
#

yeah i also experienced that at lower level of WHM, hehe

manic flare
#

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

agile night
#

well I was mostly stone II. figured more cure II instead of cure -> more stone II

patent citrus
#

it gets better when you got your ironworks set

faint flare
#

Cure is lowest priority

#

Cure 2 is better

open coral
#

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.

obsidian patio
#

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

patent citrus
#

i spammed lucid dreaming on low level, still ran out mp >.>

#

as whm

open coral
#

No reason to use it if you're at 90% MP though, even if it's off cd.

agile night
#

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

open coral
#

Honestly that's a personal judgement call.

wintry chasm
#

and contextual

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

versed aspen
#

is there like a guild/clan system? ouo

open coral
#

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.

versed aspen
#

Ahh okay! thats what people are talking about when they say FC?

open coral
#

Yep!

versed aspen
#

Ooo cool 😄

agile night
#

alright, I'll just keep doing dungeons and see what happens

open coral
#

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

woven magnet
leaden ginkgo
#

for rotations, what does it mean to be on cooldown, filler, and burst?

#

is burst when the enemy become more vulnerable??

marble drift
marble drift
#

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.

open coral
#

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.

marble drift
#

!action Inner Release

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Inner Release** : lvl 70 WAR (90.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

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

marble drift
#

See how it says "90.0 Second cooldown"?

open coral
#

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.

leaden ginkgo
#

any mentors in typhon server i need an invite

marble drift
leaden ginkgo
#

oh

plain python
#

can you put functional items like summoning bells, crystal bells in apartment?

open coral
#

No

#

Sadly

leaden ginkgo
#

so i generally use the cooldown rotations until a certain skill goes back up

open coral
#

Actually wait,

marble drift
#

you "fill" the time between your big "cooldown" skills

#

with things that don't really have a cooldown

#

basic abilities just on the gcd

open coral

You can put em in houses

#

apartments? no clue

But they do exist Aura.

What materia should DRG focus on for their equips?

nova umbra
#

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.

twilit arch
#

seasonal events are usually pretty short

#

cross-over events are a bit longer but generally not by much

nova umbra
#

Damn thats unfortunate...

#

I think it would be really great and keep the game refreshing between patch cycles >.<

slate arrow
#

If they do big crossovers, it's usually stuff like the Alliance Raids

nova umbra
#

What general seasonal events do they do beside Halloween, Christmas, and easter?

twilit arch
#

new year's, valentine's, anniversary, summer, and gold saucer

slate arrow
#

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

green grail
#

valentines day, game launch anniversary, little ladies day

nova umbra
#

Ugh... if their idea of an event is the yokai stuff... I'd rather have no event >.>

green grail
#

thats more of a collaboration really

#

usually lasts a long time if something requires grinding

nova umbra
#

So they've never done like mini games or whatever?

green grail
#

some events have minigames that get added to the toy box at the inn

slate arrow
#

I mean.... The NIER stuff is crossover content

green grail
#

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

slate arrow
#

A few years ago it had a unique instance where you participated in the last hours of 1.0 set in 2.0

then you've got a 168hrs played

plus you've hit the required msq

tawny hatch

ah isee

slate arrow

It's determined by your /playtime

tawny hatch

this is an old account

tawny hatch

Codes are region locked

leaden ginkgo
#

yeah i think i nede to move to EU since Denmark is in EU

#

but its weird

slate arrow
#

Yep, that would do it

#

That's the NA site you're on

leaden ginkgo
#

Greenland is on the NA one but Greenland is defnitly EU too

slate arrow
#

It's based on your SE account specifically

leaden ginkgo
#

f me that means i have to re-register on EU ?

slate arrow
#

no

#

Just check what region your SE account is registered to

leaden ginkgo
#

and how do i do that exactly ?

#

i just registered on Square enix website

slate arrow
#

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

leaden ginkgo
#

can't login

#

there

slate arrow
#

Just Google Square Enix Account and pick the top-ish link

#

But it sounds like you have an EU account yeah

leaden ginkgo
#

i mean i think so @slate arrow

#

im alr logged in on here and at the bottom it says "rest of EU"

slate arrow
#

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

leaden ginkgo
#

aye

#

Denmark came around this time

#

so im guessing im on the right one lol

#

it also looks sligtly different from the other one,

oh well

leaden ginkgo
#

o how so

timid geyser
#

you get that buff because you make a character in a preferred world

open coral
#

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

#

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

rare wing
#

um hi, can anyone help me on how to redeem a code?

i also got a question agian, my Square Enix account is the one i use when logging in to the game right ?

#

mogstation

#

?

leaden ginkgo
#

Ah

#

All game and item codes are redeemed through mogstation iirc

marble drift
#

"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.

leaden ginkgo
#

ok

#

so is there a particular order

marble drift
#

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

leaden ginkgo
#

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??

marble drift
#

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

wheat plume
#

hi, do you have a link with the meaning oe the card images for crafting levequest?

marble drift
#

(Higanbana does more over its duration than Midare does because its a damage over time skill)

leaden ginkgo
#

ohh

wheat plume
#

I know the difference between them, but wanna know which one corresponds for which image

simple pine
#

where is alvl 60 dummy?

kind eagle
#

Do yall have any clue

leaden ginkgo
#

so usually I start with opener, than a burst, and then cooldown until burst refills, and filler is stuff I should worry about later??

marble drift
#

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.

leaden ginkgo
#

Your burst is basically just you repeating your opener every minute

kind eagle
#

I use meikyo

#

then gecko

#

and use it as filler

open coral
# kind eagle

Any clue about what? Top left, top right, and bottom right are the only possible places for the dual blades to appear.

leaden ginkgo
#

So it's opener > cooldown > filler > burst > cooldown > filler > burst etc.

kind eagle
wheat plume
#

What kind of levequest is this one?

timid geyser
#

Weaver ?

open coral
#

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.

kind eagle
#

ok

timid geyser
#

idk actually i'm just assuming lol

marble drift
#

There is a 3rd location for dual blades

marble drift
#

column 4, row 2

#

there are 6 unbroken squares

leaden ginkgo
#

welp this is going horribly 🤦‍♂️

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?

verbal rune
#

What was the ping command

west spruce
#

pretty much just turn your tank stance on and hit mobs

leaden ginkgo
#

i'm finding when i hit them, they still go after my friends playign dps and healer, even if i charge in first

open coral
#

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.

leaden ginkgo
#

on eso there would be certain skills to keep them on you

open coral
#

As Paladin, you want to activate Iron Will and always have it on.

leaden ginkgo
#

ok mate thanks i'll try that out

open coral
#

Don't touch it again once it's up.

#

!action Iron Will

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Iron Will** : lvl 10 GLA PLD (10.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Significantly increases enmity generation.
Effect ends upon reuse.

leaden ginkgo
#

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

open coral
#

Every tank has a stance like Iron Will that passively increases their enmity generation.

leaden ginkgo
#

thanks @open coral

open coral
#

It has no other effect.

leaden ginkgo
#

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

open coral
#

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.

leaden ginkgo
#

yeah thanks thats what i'll do

robust crow
#

wouldn't hurt to camp at a striking dummy

#

and just press things

timid geyser
#

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

leaden ginkgo
#

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

open coral
#

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.

timid geyser
#

So you skipped everything ?

open coral
#

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?

timid geyser
#

You're probably gonna be disappointed cause endgame is kinda sore lol

leaden ginkgo
#

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 😄

timid geyser
#

And I guess you're starting at Shadowbringers ?

#

Cause if it's the case, Imma be honest: It's kinda pointless

leaden ginkgo
#

Kiyo

open coral
#

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.

leaden ginkgo
#

i dont need to explain to you Kiyo, i'll do what i please

timid geyser
#

ARR basically sets Heavensward and Stormblood up

open coral
#

Heavensward and Shadowbringers are widely considered to be the best story in the game.

Just saying one more thing because I get back to my btn farm

#

You're gonna be disappointed

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

reef oriole
#

Does somebody know what standard touch used to do?

#

Before 5.4

slate arrow
#

!action standard touch

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Standard Touch** : lvl 18 CRP (32 CP) (0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Increases quality.
Efficiency: 125%
Success Rate: 100%
Combo Action: Basic Touch
Combo Bonus: CP cost reduced to 18

faint flare
#

It didn't combo

slate arrow
#

It's the same, just without combo

reef oriole
#

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?

timid geyser
#

It's so good now that it combos

timid geyser
reef oriole
#

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?

You can skip if you so desire but

#

I believe that takes away like 80% of the game's enjoyabilty

rare wing
#

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

slate arrow
#

You need to go to the enter code section

rare wing
#

where do i find that ?

slate arrow
#

Should be a big banner at the top of the main Mogstation page

open ember
#

Your Account tab -> Enter Item Code

slate arrow
#

no

#

That's for Mogstation items, I think.

open ember
#

It says registration items

#

I'm looking at the page

rare wing
open ember
#

rare wing
#

i'm playing it for the combat only

open ember
#

Poorly delivered yet you've probably never read it. A poor assumption for a ff game that is story first then combat second

raven sage
#

I think you should leave him alone tbh

#

It's his time and money

leaden ginkgo
#

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

open ember
#

Idk why you asked that question to begin with

leaden ginkgo
#

what? i asked if somebody could give me a guide how to use my tank effectively?

open ember
