also another dumb question because i havent done WT in a long time. How many times can you "redo" a duty for seal? isnt it up to as many second chance points you have? or does it have a limit

It'll work fine after a reboot, but the second anything changes, like it coming unplugged or going into sleep mode, it won't work anymore, period. Not until the next reboot.

Is it a good investment to pentameld all aesthete gathering and crafting over ju...
you can probably craft the exarchic/aesthete gear with the current ilvl500 scrip gear but take note you're going to use a lot hq mats.
unless you're trying to compete and try the expert recipes in the next ishgardian restoration
gritty oracle
Are the regular lv80 Ishgard recipes enough to farm scrips and lotto stamps? I prefer macroing my crafts and I heard you shouldn't macro expert Ishgard recipes.
silver ruin
yea
twilit arch
expert recipes really are for point farm tbh
gritty oracle
Huh
worthy basin
expert recipes = point farm (for the competition next month probably)
level 80s = scrip farm
twilit arch
and technically you can macro experts but they are.....really not ideal
gritty oracle
I just want the minions, the mount and the orc rolls
twilit arch
then yeah just do the normal 80 recipes
when i say point farm, i mean both the restoration rankings at the start of a new phase and the achievements
while you can certainly do both with the normal recipe, the expert recipes give a lot more points
modern sorrel
What does the number 1 place of the rankings get as reward

do you have full shire gear?
also what dungeon are u doing
shire gear also becomes obsolete rather quickly
leaden ginkgo
ive no idea what shire gear is lmao. I literally just use the armor from garland tools leveling guide
remote lintel
poetics gear
remote lintel
poetics gear is each expacs endgame gear
manic flare
shire gear is ilevel 270
you said your gear is ilevel240
240 is the minimum ilevel to do the very first dungeon in stormblood
leaden ginkgo
thanks i understand but should i stop using that site because its all ive been using to plan my armor
manic flare
garlandtools is good, but not sure if you are using it for the right purpose
remote lintel
just use poetics gear for the first half of an expac and then take whatever the msq gives you
poetics lasts for like 5 levels
manic flare
make sure you switch gear before bardam's mettle
i believe shire gear becomes weak for that dungeon
not sure what level it is

So for Rogue, I assume the idea is to stealth before combat and open with trick attack?
twilit arch
boss' will pop you out of stealth
so at low levels, you really can't use trick attack

twilit arch
it won't be until 45, iirc, when you get suiton that you'll be able to trick attack

I just got rogue, so I can’t see ninja stuff

you cant use trick attack for bosses at that level

at what point is it good to end the free trial and go full game on ff14 or should I go all the way to heavensward then buy it?
tawny quest
Up to you
slate arrow
^
twilit arch
whenever the free trial starts to piss you off with its limitations really
tawny quest
Personally I bought it when I hit the lvl cap because I didn’t want to level another job up and I didn’t want to miss out on msq exp. You’ll probably hit the gil cap at some point but that isn’t a big deal
twilit arch
though should keep in mind that once you upgrade to the full game, you're going to have to pay a subscription to play
tawny quest
^Yup you can’t go back so think carefully about when you want to use it
bleak dew
thanks currently at level 25 and thinking if I should upgrade already since im having tons of fun but really limited on the social aspect.
tawny quest
Yeah that can be bothersome, especially when you get tells you can’t reply to lol
marble drift
then yeah upgrading to talk to people, join FC's and make friends seems like a logical move
also. Xmas Sale on FFXIV and its Expansions I believe?
someones probably got it on sale somewhere.
slate arrow
Probably on Mogstation and PSN
twilit arch
steam and ps4,y eah

Itemlvl sync. No echo is the closest you can get easily.

should be decently cheap. If not, it's okay to get NQ gear from a vendor at low levels

NQ gear is good enough in most cases for gatherers
All it does is impact your own gathering rate so feel free to cheap out

and craftsmanship
twilit arch
craftsmanship, control and cp
proud willow
when you use a Touch action to improve a crafted item's Quality meter, your Control stat determines how much quality you get

craftsmanship improves how much progress you get from your synthesis actions
control improves how much quality you get from touch actions
and cp is ofc your mana for crafters

Is there a way to prevent macros from spamming?
I macro'd my invuln to a chat message but I tend to double/triple tap my panic button so it spams
faint flare
Wait.1s before chat messages
agile laurel
partly for my own knowledge, does that actually work? Or would that just result in slightly delayed spamming
faint flare
It does because only 1 macro can run at a time
Thus the spamming would reset the wait time
agile laurel
aha. noted.
jovial tide
What does the syntax look like for that?
faint flare
/ac "skill name" <wait.1>
/p message
agile laurel
iirc /wait integer as a new line serves purpose too
but that takes up an extra line

Naturally you can repeat the skill line to try and get the skill go off abit easier
Just make sure the <wait.1> goes on the line before the message

Regarding heart of light, is there a way to determine whether an attack is physical or magical?
robust crow
most raidwides are magical
other than having prior knowledge of the fight, there isn't a way to just know otherwise
a lot of times, the animation of the attack itself is a hint
but isn't always indicative of whether it's physical or magical
agile laurel
or the context
jovial tide
Hm, I'll admit I misread it up til just now and have been using it early on in corridor pull sections, but I guess that's redundant?
Context is holminster's switch
I'm going to guess most mobs there are physical
marble drift
Take Innocence's "Ultimate" for instance. you know its physical because 1) its made of swords and 2) the adds when not quickly enough killed, give the entire team slashing resistance down
faint flare
More or less if IT LOOKS magic, probably is
If it looks physical, like swords or physical objects, probably is
marble drift
honestly they should change Heart and Dark Missionary to 10% damage reduction flat
agile laurel
and frankly heart of light/dark mind aren't really going to save you one way or another so the distinction is kinda small
you can get away with guessing
faint flare
Majority of room wides are magical with a rare few physical here and there

are you trying to board a physical ship?

specifically ones that may say something over their heads like "ferrymaster"

i bought something on mog, at the end it gave an error but i still got my money taken. i have never received the item
hot eagle
go support then but they will probably say can take 24h or even more sometimes before they can do anything since some items like account wide stuff can take up to 24h if you are unlucky or the servers are bussy

Hello everyone. Merry Christmas. I am new to FFXIV. Do you all know of any popular player organized event going on in FF today on Christmas?
dreamy warren
For the maps which provide speed boosts, are they only through hunt seals/nuts?
faint flare
Yes
dreamy warren

spiral echo
where do i get the quest for the bowl of embers (hard)
faint flare
Do the quest line that starts with a Recurring problem in the waking sands
pallid delta
Is there a good time to start a secondary job? My main is almost lvl 30 but I want to fish and was just wondering if there's a reason to do it earlier or later
faint flare
Whenever you want
spiral echo
i have that
but i cant find where i can get the quest to unluck the hard version of it
dreamy warren
You have to complete the bowl of embers normal first
spiral echo
done that too
faint flare
Which you do at lv20
dreamy warren
IIRC once you complete it, you talk to Urianger and he'll give you the hard version
spiral echo
i did that quest already
faint flare
And it will lead to the head modes
spiral echo
thats why im confused
spiral echo
i have done both A recurring problem and ifrit bleeds, we can kill it
leaden ginkgo
hi, where can I reread the playguides that appears during the game
faint flare
Then you have hard mode
spiral echo
but it doesnt show up anywhere
leaden ginkgo
I just made my first raid, and couldn't read the guides, and now idk some things about raids
faint flare
Screenshot your duty finder in the trial 1 tab
dreamy warren
Hit ESC them hit Playgyuide @leaden ginkgo
leaden ginkgo
where do I find the guide with raid ?
dreamy warren
@leaden ginkgo Use Active Help instead
leaden ginkgo
also, whats this
leaden ginkgo
<@456226577798135808> Use Active Help instead
ok
faint flare
Your aetherflow gauge
faint flare
It shows how much aetherflow you have
leaden ginkgo
what thats means ? :)))
leaden ginkgo
What level are you?
20
dreamy warren
So there are certain abilities that require Aetherflow.
leaden ginkgo
oh, so its kind of mana
faint flare
Its a resource gauge
crimson wind
it's not mana
dreamy warren
By using the ability Aetherflow (which you get at level 45) you can fill the Aetherflow gauge and use those "points" to cast more robust healing spells.
dreamy warren
Oh. I assumed you were a scholar.
faint flare
Not scholar
dreamy warren
My bad
faint flare
Scholar has 3
dreamy warren
I havent turned my scholar on in a while.
dreamy warren
Ignore most of what I said. lmao
crimson wind
realistically you're only using aetherflow on energy drain
faint flare
An important resource to use fester/painflare
This
leaden ginkgo
so, the ideea is that think helps me do some special spells
crimson wind
You dont get a painflare for a while
dreamy warren
Are the daily hunts the same for everyone?
faint flare
The bills? No
glacial narwhal
why do people disregard my question about explaining mechanics with "dont worry its easy"
dreamy warren
It's gonna be a long road to 1500 to unlock these maps then.... lol
glacial narwhal
many mechanics are not obvious
jovial tide
Because the game's too forgiving and they judge it's faster to swiftcast raise you than to type out thorough explanations
hot eagle
probably also if its old content ppl dont rly bother to explain much since a lot will be skipped or doesn't hurt enough anymore like in the lvl50/60 alliance raids, so if you want to know stuff from it its easier to read something up yourself
crimson crystal
You can always look up videos if you really want to know and no one else wants to bother explaining
In general, if you ask your party for an explanation, they will just tell you what you need to know to stay alive
But not every detail

if i buy ff14 on steam, from there, can i get a subscription and upgrade my current free trial account to a regular one
faint flare
Yes you can go from trial to steam
jade lava
where do i go to actually get a subscription or will i be prompted on launch?
jade lava
but does that count if i already had a free trial account?
jade lava
and if i get the complete edition?

cool thank you

Are there any commands for clearing out an entire hotbar instead of removing skills one by one?
hot eagle
/hotbar remove * all *=1,2,3.... for whichever u want to empty also works with chotbar for the controller hotbars

Ty!

does gil reward from leve decrease if you're too high level?

So I wanna make a Gladiator. Just wonder about quests since I have a lvl 70 class does my gladiator need to be a certain lvl to do MSQ? If so can I accept and finish the quests on my lvl 70 and accept the XP on my gladiator?
plain python
no, you can accept MSQ quest at any level, save for BLU and craft/gather classes, but you need a level-appropriate class to receive EXP
weak escarp
Wdym lvl appropriate class?
leaden ginkgo
I'm downloading FFXIV rn any tips?

I'm downloading FFXIV rn any tips?
Wait for it to download
remote lintel
!faqnewplayertips
agile laurel
Clarify. If you have reached level 66 MSQ, you will need a level 66 class to pursue it
agile laurel
So, yes, you would need to level up any alts in order to pursue msq
remote lintel
!faq newplayertips
zinc orbitBOT
agile laurel
use roulettes or deep dungeons or leves if you're insane i guess
plain python
if MSQ has min-level 61, then you must be lv61 to finish the quest and receive exp for that class
weak escarp
Well guess I need to get the gladiator to lvl like 24
weak escarp
Potd?
remote lintel
no
weak escarp
What are roulettes too?
remote lintel
potd is for dps with long queues
weak escarp
Gladiator is DPS b4 paladin right?
remote lintel
no
weak escarp
Oh
remote lintel
the only class different from its job is arcanist
weak escarp
So what are roulettes?
remote lintel
you already have the leveling roulette
weak escarp
Oh
remote lintel
you just queue for it
gloomy ice
Roulettes unlock automatically as you unlock more than one of each category.
weak escarp
Oh okay thanks
gloomy ice
Leveling roulette unlocks after the second dungeon and so on
potent shale
You can glam the wedding outfit right?
remote lintel
but they're for lvl 15+

I can do dungeons at lvl 15

does the complete edition include ARR?
weak escarp
Nice got it
remote lintel
@kind burrow yes
potent shale
does the complete edition include ARR?
Yes
kind burrow
thanks!
remote lintel
@potent shale if you mean use as glam yes
weak escarp
So what about the high lvl side quests near the lvl 20+ MSQ area? Can I accept complete on my summoner and swap back for the XP on gladiator?
zinc orbitBOT
weak escarp
Or does that not work too?
remote lintel
side quests don't give good exp
weak escarp
The one I did gave 5k
remote lintel
that's not a lot
gritty oracle
Sidequests are for small pieces of lore, nothing else
remote lintel
do hunt logs, challenge log, fates below 15 then roulettes, beast tribe, highest lvl dungeon at 15+
gritty oracle
Do hunting logs and guildhests for 15
gloomy flint
Has anyone raided with a controller?
faint flare
Yes
remote lintel
logs > challenge log
weak escarp
Got it thank you very much
gloomy flint
Like are you at a disadvantage when you raid on console?
faint flare
No
gloomy flint
Ok awesome
manic flare
are the controls easier with a controller than keyboard?
remote lintel
preference
faint flare
Preference
manic flare
should i buy a controller to play optimally in this game?
remote lintel
if you want
manic flare
well my problem is that for melee dps especially, there are too many buttons and i've used up all my closest accessible buttons
that i can press without looking
i'm wondering if getting a controller would solve that problem
remote lintel
are you using shift and alt
remote lintel
then how are you running out of buttons
manic flare
well i priimarily use 1-4 as my number keys
plus the WASD movement
Q and W for strafing
remote lintel
are you using qert, f, zxcv?
remote lintel
then you have like 42 buttons with 12345, qert, f, zxcv along with modifiers
manic flare
also do i have to conform to the rectangular hotbar layouts?
remote lintel
no
manic flare
because i want to design my hotbar so it's similar to my keyboard
manic flare
well the problem is that the keys im pressing
don't fit to a particular rectangular layout
it's the keys that are closest to my left hand
remote lintel
make them look however you want
manic flare
i want to make irregular shapes
for the hotbar
i dont know if im explaining myself correctly or if u guys understand me
remote lintel
then hide unused slots
manic flare
if i get an apartment can i hire npc vendors?
remote lintel
for the inside yes
marsh blade
I keep dcing i'm in amaericain servers idk wtf is up

mystic blaze
as a WoW player I wanna ask, what's the hype for FF14? I'm a big fan of final fantasy games but more fond of the PS1 games (I'm a zoomer btw) but FF14 didn't hook me as much as WoW.
zinc orbitBOT
faint flare
Story
mystic blaze
gotcha story.
halcyon rune
14 is the most FF a FF game has FF'd since the ps1.
mystic blaze
seems fine but I guess I'm used to rapid leveling
mystic blaze
14 is the most FF a FF game has FF'd since the ps1.
really? It's that good?
faint flare
I mean levelling isnt THAT slow. Just tedious with endless dungeons
mystic blaze
is it like those jrpgs where the beginning can be slow?
faint flare
Yes
mystic blaze
gotcha. Like xenoblades 1 for me
faint flare
Like with any story. It starts slow for necessary world building
With climaxes later
halcyon rune
Not so much ARR, but it picks up tremendously.
faint flare
Its basically a netflix series or the like
Season 1 is slow and builds up for later seasons
halcyon rune
We recommend not playing like an MMO. Play it like a classic FF game.
faint flare
^
mystic blaze
ok. I know some friends who are into FF14
mystic blaze
that sounds cool. I guess it's my fault for thinking it's a typical mmo
faint flare
It can be a slight adjustment for some
mystic blaze
I usually like the crunch, gear, and the leveling in mmos and I didn't really accept the ff part
still have to finish the ff games in my library
faint flare
The raids themselves aren't thst bad either...savage and ultimate are fun to progress and learn
Especially if you have a nice comfy group
Pugs are your usual mileage will vary
mystic blaze
I swear if the setup to the bosses are as good when I played chrono trigger, sign me up!
faint flare
Higher tier fights are basically a mechanical dance
mystic blaze
I do like how chill the community is compared to wow but I still like raiding
faint flare
Trying to dance around mechanics while doing your rotation as best as possible
With only 8 people opposed to WoWs like 20, there can be more personal responsibility
halcyon rune
Not spoiling, but the latest expansion has been set up since the very beginning, and 6 year later they delivered immensely.
faint flare
Plus meta doesn't mean fuck all so you can play what you like
mystic blaze
I also usually like min maxing, grinding, and gear in mmos and rpgs but I guess I should let story and setup happen first
I still would like a sub and copy of the game itself to see the hype
faint flare
It rises and falls through Arr, rises abit for the end of the base Arr...dips again for post patch then rises up for heavensward build up
Then heavensward is very widely liked
Second to Shadowbringers story
mystic blaze
the community for FF14 also seems more chill and focused on anime unlike wow which feels competitive
faint flare
Stormblood story is give or take id you like war and politics
mystic blaze
I do like gundam so I may like Stormblood
faint flare
Well more of a eastern/Japanese theme with Kugane
faint flare
There's magitek and robots that show up here and there as The Empire is into that
halcyon rune
The game was built not around competition. Even pvp was an afterthought.
mystic blaze
my friend also showed an instance quest or something where you pilot a mecha or robot. That looked so cool
faint flare
Yeah
That would be from the Weapons trial series in Shadowbringers
With ruby, emerald etc
Those weapons
mystic blaze
FF14 feels like a tough sell for me. But I got a feeling I will like it if I just approached it another way and not like how I played other western rpgs like path of exile or the witcher 3
it would always be fun with friends
faint flare
Its basically a single player rpg with occasional multiplayer aspects
Like people say again. FF first, mmo second
mystic blaze
that's neat. That's how I also thought of wow
no wonder those who didn't like mmos liked it
manic flare
it's more like a single player rpg first, sims 4 second, and a mmo a distant 3rd
faint flare
The trial basically takes you through heavensward up to the start of stormblood so you get a good view of the story
Basically half the game
manic flare
the end game in this game is designing costumes and your house
mystic blaze
except the earlier quests felt a bit repetitive but not as sasifying as wow imo. But I could be biased and how calling early quests in mmos repetitive is like calling water wet lol
manic flare
this is why the FFXIV community is so different from other MMORPG communities
mystic blaze
gotcha. I do like how you could earn your costumes and that without microtransactions
faint flare
Fetch quests and stuff are always gonna be a thing in game
manic flare
@mystic blaze there are clothing items that u can buy off the store with real currency, but most of the clothing items u obtain in game through grinding
, trading, and crafting
as well as being nice to people and they just gift you stuff from time to time at random
weak escarp
as a WoW player I wanna ask, what's the hype for FF14? I'm a big fan of final fa...
Its mainly the story I would assume. But ngl Im not the biggest fan of reading whats going on lmao
manic flare
from what i've heard the main difference between FFXIV and WoW community is that FFXIV playerbase is far less toxic
and much more willing to help with grinding
had a random person run a dungeon with me like 10 times just to get a specific piece of gear
and this is not out of the ordinary
as another example, one guy was asking for help crafting an item and i offered, and then it turned he had like 3 other offers right at the same time in the same area
manic flare
one bad thing about the chat in the cities is that there are a lot of bots
i guess SE doesn't really crack down on bots
weak escarp
I noticed 2 tbh
manic flare
they make reporting bots very difficult
whenever i click on a bot, it disappears, there's no way for me to find the target again
mystic blaze

Lol same. I prefer the FMV from the PS1 games despite its age and the cutscenes rather than the dialogue dumps
I do like the reduced toxicity
My dad introduced me to wow and he likes to discuss politics lol
weak escarp
Yeah im not much of a story guy. So far all i know in ARR is that there are pirates and evil people with alien tech tryna take over gridania
remote lintel
its not alien tech
weak escarp
Idk they seem like aliens with there gear

hey! new player here and idk if im just a dummy but i couldnt find an option to stop the camera from snapping back to my character when i move it somewhere.. 🤔 is there an option for it somewhere?

Are you required to do all these post-50 quests before starting the expac? I'm actually losing motivation to play because of them
ornate garden
Damn, It's just running back and forth for hours

Its mandatory yes
The story is one linear line
Otherwise the expansion wont make sense
remote lintel
post quests wrap up the expac and transition to the next one

Buy yourself a skip for it, if you want
buying a skip also skips the free fantasia,
