faint flare
#

And just a point of juggling priorities

#

But tossing like the phase rotation and stuff blows some peoples heads on first look

manic flare
#

is Heaven on High also good for leveling past 70?

jade quartz
#

No

#

Only 61-70

manic flare
#

what do you do after 70?

jade quartz
#

Bozja is the replacement for deep dungeons.

faint flare
#

Dungeons, beast tribes, roulette, bojza

jade quartz
#

The Bozjan Southern Front

manic flare
#

oh so bozja the ShB deep dungeon?

warped nest
#

No

faint flare
#

More eureka styled

warped nest
#

Bozja is a open map content

faint flare
#

But gives xp for outside

jade quartz
#

also Trust parties for dungeons

warped nest
#

But it has the same benefit: "good way for DPS to level up"

jade quartz
#

ensuring instant queues.

leaden ginkgo
#

is there a cash shop?

raw solstice
#

!faq mogstation

zinc orbitBOT
raw solstice
#

that^

manic flare
#

how do you get a character to stand like that?

twilit karma
#

^that is

#

Mogstation is only for subscription and that kind of thing now

hasty musk
twilit arch
#

i mean mogstation still links to the shop

leaden ginkgo
#

cool. how do the costumes work? they go over your gear? why do they have stats

twilit karma
#

Still, kind of indirect and it might confuse people

#

Better to just link the actual shop don't ya think?

hasty musk
#

Nothing in the shop affects gameplay directly

#

It's purely cosmetic

obsidian patio
#

Some mogstation sets have sets but they’re not practical to use past level 20

wide ore
#

I'm sitting in Ul'dah crafting and reporting the occasional RMT.
But I just misclicked and reported my fc mate instead... didn't realize until I confirmed and the window popped up with their name in it.
what do? t_t

obsidian patio
#

A majority of them are level 1 gear with no stats

kind eagle
#

Can i trade my lunar fife away?

hasty musk
#

You probably should tell your fc mate what happened anyway

wide ore
#

yeah T_T

obsidian patio
#

Mounts for the most part are untradeable

kind eagle
#

oh

ionic hazel
#

Where can i get the level 50 vendor crafting gear

obsidian patio
#

There’s no level 50 vendor set, closest thing is level 51 stuff in Ishgard

twilit arch
#

you can actually buy the crafted 50 stuff with yellow scrips now

#

the job specific stuff that is

obsidian patio
#

Oh yeah that stuff, though it’s not that great

twilit arch
#

but yeah easier to just push to 51

#

an d get that stuff

Hey all! So just curious, without enabling minimum item level sync, are events like the minstrels ballad for ultima weapon still balanced to be challenging? I wasn’t sure if their natural sync is enough to keep them tough, or if they’re synced too high to be difficult like the praetorium

remote lintel
#

ultima EX still follows the general ARR sync of 130 iirc

#

but yes minimum ilvl sync makes things harder because youre basically putting your gear at the very minimum required

twilit karma
#

Basically the biggest difference between synced and min ilvl for old content is potentially the DPS check. Mechanics will have to be dealt with the same. Though higher ilvl might let you skip some toward the end as well

#

And stuff will hit harder on min ilvl. Somethings might kill you that would be survivable at just synced

devout tiger
#

I see! I guess I’m just afraid of being synced too high for ‘difficult content’ and having it trivialized (again, praetorium is a great example lol), given I want to be able to experience it as intended!

#

I’d love to do min ilvl runs, but unfortunately they can be a bit difficult to organize

twilit karma
#

You'll love the Unreal trials when you get to 80 then haha

remote lintel
#

being synced too high is only a problem with ARR really

#

all the expacs feel fine

devout tiger
#

Does that carry over to the astral era as well, with minstrels ballads?

#

Also, thank you for the link! That’s exactly what I’m looking for!

remote lintel
#

not sure

jade quartz
#

Yeah

twilit karma
#

Not really true, if you want to experience it like when it was dropped min ilvl is your best bet. Again because DPS checks would have been a thing and with higher ilvl they are largely eliminated

#

And healing is easier as well

#

It's not a massive difference, but it's still a difference

jade quartz
#

HW fights are also gear crushed nowadays, yeah.

#

Even when level synced.

twilit karma
#

Like if you're doing like the final extreme of an expac then maybe that one won't be felt that much because min ilvl and general synced ilvl will be close

#

But the further you go into an expac's past, the more dramatic the difference between min ilvl and synced will be

How to unlock alexander ultimat

fresh lodge
#

Clear E4S

kind eagle
#

e4s is dead

wintry chasm
#

Party finder it

fresh lodge
#

Go speak to the Wandering Minstrel in Kugane

tame magnet
#

i'm too dumb i guess. Defragmented tomes due to all wiki's is acquired from Ghul Gul or Yahl Yal...

What specific tab i need to open? I can't see dat sh1t there WhenLifeGetsAtYou

kind eagle
#

i might try clearing e4s blind if people doing it nxt time

remote lintel
#

@tame magnet any of the eden promise ones

fresh lodge
#

E4S should be a cakewalk to clear now

wintry chasm
#

Well, minus the middle phase

tame magnet
remote lintel
#

scroll down

tame magnet
#

ONLY books there

twilit arch
#

its from the antiquated stuff

tame magnet
twilit arch
#

You're looking at the savage exchange

remote lintel
#

^

#

go to the normal

tame magnet
#

Ah got it

#

God damn i missed that, thanks

polar cairn
#

what npc now sells the emporers new equipment?

#

cant find it anywhere

twilit arch
#

Tataroga in Mor Dhona and Goberin in Vesper Bay, but you need to complete the quest "Absolutely Glamourous" to be able to buy it from them. It requires a lvl 15 crafter, that is not culinarian, to complete

tame magnet
#

Any short info about weekly limit items from raids? I mean i see it's 2/2 received this week.. But i got 5 lost antiquility items.. How does it even count? I can actually Roll and get items from my 2 first raids per week i guess? Thanks in advance.

twilit arch
#

so for the final floor of eden's promise you have 2 weekly times

#

the blade and then a token

#

the blade is automatically dropped into your inventory upon your first clear of the week

#

you need 7 blades, therefore it takes 7 weeks, to exchange for the tomestone

remote lintel
#

you get 1 drop per floor per week

#

so you can get 4 tokens a week

tame magnet
remote lintel
#

whatever you rolled for and won

ruby willow
#

Hey I need some help guys. So my friend is buying the game finally after playing free for a lil while. What one of these should she pick up? Does she just need the complete edition.

twilit arch
#

!faq edenloot

zinc orbitBOT
#
Eden raids normal mode drop table
tame magnet
#

Oh thanks, sry

remote lintel
#

once you win something your other rolls are forfeited

#

so you should try gunning for actual sets

#

like 4 torso token

#

or 2 glove tokens 2 heads

tame magnet
remote lintel
#

@ruby willow if she wants to buy the whole game then she can get the complete

twilit arch
#

@ruby willow if she wants everything at once, then yeah go with complete edition. if she's not entirely sold on the game then just starter edition but that's effectively the trial without social limits

remote lintel
#

it comes with everything

ruby willow
#

Gotcha. I mean with how much it is on sale. She may as well just pay the couple dollars now and get all 4 instead of paying a shit ton more later

#

So she only needs that? Nothing else?

remote lintel
#

correct

#

she can also hold on to the code if she doesnt want to end her trial right away

twilit arch
#

yes complete has everything

ruby willow
#

Thank ya. Its been a while since I bought it

fleet ore
#

Anybody have tips on getting Castrum done for Bozjan? Like can I LFG here or is there another discord for this?

remote lintel
#

void vigil
#

If I played through stormblood but don’t remember anything about the story, is there some kind of catchup

obsidian patio
#

In terms of in-game resources, basically only new game plus and reading the journal entries for completed quests

remote lintel
#

watching the inn cutscenes

obsidian patio
feral schooner
#

So I keep seeing people say southern front is best for leveling alts. But nothing that explains how to do it effectively. Can someone give me some pointers please?

remote lintel
#

just do fates and critical engagements?

feral schooner
#

No potions or gears needed? That seems mind numbing lol

versed aspen
#

So what is fellowship finder? is it just like a random party finder?

faint flare
#

You're synced to 430

obsidian patio
#

Bozjan Front is basically the POTD/HOH for 71-80

#

It’s an EXP grind with no queue time

remote lintel
#

@versed aspen fellowships are like message boards

feral schooner
#

@obsidian patio you always come in clutch with the facts. Bless your knees

obsidian patio
#

All you need to make sure is that you have some kind of equipment worn, unlike POTD/HOH

versed aspen
#

What happens when you join one? @remote lintel

remote lintel
#

you get access to the fellowship?

#

can post to the board

#

etc

obsidian patio
#

Some fellowships have discord links in their description

whole wasp
#

Depends on the fellowship and what the group is for.

#

For example hunt fellowships just post whenever theres a active hunt for example

#

Quirky ones like lala only fellowship posts funny lala things

heady knot
#

other than daily rolo any better ways to farm tomes

remote lintel
#

hunt trains

whole wasp
#

Or organize lala only raids etc

heady knot
#

hunt trains for tomes?

obsidian patio
#

Yes

heady knot
#

tbh i still dont get the concept of hunt trains

versed aspen
#

Ahh thank you for the help ;D

remote lintel
#

people find all 12 A ranks and then call a train when they find them

#

then you go and get all of them

heady knot
#

a ranks?

remote lintel
#

A rank monsters

whole wasp
#

A rank mobs in open world

obsidian patio
#

Basically overworld bosses on long respawn timers

heady knot
#

ok they drop tiomes?

whole wasp
#

Alot of them have specific spawn conditions too

remote lintel
#

yes

whole wasp
#

So they help spawn them

#

Yup

heady knot
#

u mean like fates?

remote lintel
#

no

whole wasp
#

No

remote lintel
#

theyre just monsters

#

no marker on the map

obsidian patio
#

A and S rank monsters aren’t shown on the map and must be found

whole wasp
#

Single mob. Cant be solo-ed

remote lintel
#

older expac ones can be soloed

heady knot
#

wait are there link on info on this

obsidian patio
#

What I use

remote lintel
whole wasp
remote lintel
#

scroll down to rewards

heady knot
#

so they drop new tomes?

whole wasp
#

Yes

heady knot
#

ah ok thanks

remote lintel
#

also you need to have unlocked hunts all the way to shb

heady knot
#

i assume that explain in wiki

remote lintel
#

yes

heady knot
#

ah ok will read up

#

rolo or hunt is ebtter for farming times?

remote lintel
#

hunts but you can do both

obsidian patio
#

A-ranks have an approximate 2 hour respawn time

heady knot
#

ok

remote lintel
#

this discord calls hunt trains

heady knot
#

so hunt train is like a trail/raid?

whole wasp
#

Its 20 per A rank iirc. So if you catch a train,thats 240 in about 15 minutes.

remote lintel
#

no

#

its just a bunch of people teleporting from area to area and killing mobs there

whole wasp
#

No its rando players all moving tigether to kill the mobs

remote lintel
#

mobs being the A ranks

#

its not an official in game thing

heady knot
#

i have to play thru all of them

#

to unlock shb ones

#

hmm ok

remote lintel
#

its just a bunch of talking quests

#

takes like 20 mins if youre already 80

heady knot
#

opk lol

heady knot
#

any use for poteics tomes left?

slim sorrel
#

I've been using them to buy the trade items for grade 3 topsoils. And if you're still leveling other classes, they're useful for getting the Ironworks gear (already augmented now).

Also you need the scalepowder to get your base Resistance weapon in Bozja.

what should I spend my gc seals on?

#

slim sorrel
#

Ventures for your retainers, mats to make minions, send your squadron on missions

ruby willow
#

Hey is there a way you can see what your square Enix ID is?

#

My friend signed into the website with email and password. But can't get in game cus she is unsure of the ID.
She is moving from ps4 to pc

#

Anyone know how to fix this?

wintry chasm
#

Your ID is basically just your username you created for your account

#

forgot your ID

ruby willow
#

Gotcha

finite jacinth
#

where can I find retainers?

slim sorrel
#

Each citystate has a Retainer Vocate in the same areas you find the Market Board. Decide which city you want your retainer to be in (minimal effect - taxes change by 1 or 2% every so often) and then hire a retainer through the Vocate. You can have 2 with a base subscription and you can purchase more to hire in-game through the Mog Station.

wintry chasm
#

and then to find them after you hire them, go to a summoning bell which you can find in all those cities

slate arrow
#

You need to own the Starter Edition to access retainers

#

before you wonder why you can't hire one

finite jacinth
#

Thanks Cali

#

I want to change my character and think I have the potion with them

slim sorrel
#

You can also access a summoning bell from an inn room.

whole wasp
#

Try using the search function

#

/isearch vial of fantasia

#

It'll tell you where it is if you have one in retainer, saddlebag etc

finite jacinth
#

oo doesn't see it. :S

wintry chasm
finite jacinth
#

Guess I got to purchase it

wintry chasm
#

pretty sure it's just called "fantasia"

#

no "vial of"

whole wasp
#

D:

finite jacinth
#

ahh I'll try fantasia

wintry chasm
#

Even then wouldn't it just be phial because old?

#

where is block 1?

trail mulch
#

first page

finite jacinth
#

ah so I have to summon bambi to get it

gritty oracle
#

I also recommend switching your inventory to Full so you can see all tags at once

gleaming sparrow
#

Besides straight up buying them from the MB, is there any effective/viable way to farm crystals?

slate arrow
#

Aetherial Reduction

slate arrow
#

Especially since the emphermal node rework like a week ago

slim sorrel
#

Send your retainers on ventures for them, or you can grow them in a flower pot.

gleaming sparrow
#

For retainers I can only see the shards rather than crystals 🤔

ruby willow
#

@wintry chasm so we fixed that. Now it days her login is restricted. You know why?

wintry chasm
#

Probably from trying to log in and failing too much

#

Should have an email to fix that

ruby willow
#

I see. Alright

finite jacinth
#

Thanks guys, I went from a pretty girl to a fierce tiger man

#

Is Cinder Drift PF? Says less than 5m but it's not filling.

marble drift
#

Normal no

#

finite jacinth
#

I need to do story quests in order right? Haven't been back since storm patches so I can't just jump to the new xpac questline yet

#

I'm on mad king's trove so I got to go do the dungeon to finish that quest

ruby willow
#

Why must this be so frustrating. She is Australian. But I guess her copy she just bought isn't? Like what the actual fuck square

#

Anyone know how to fix this? Because I feel she may have to just restart.

slate arrow
#

Or, you could stick it out and wait for trial roulette to fill it.

worthy basin
#

try to queue it during the reset time

marble drift
ruby willow
#

So she needs to buy the eu one? Can square refund her the copy she just bought so she can buy the right one?

gritty cedar
#

it depends which region she registered her SE account tbh

gritty cedar
#

im from australia too and i can comfortably play in NA servers

ruby willow
#

She is registered AU I guess cus she is moving from ps4 to pc

marble drift
#

Thats not a region mate. Check her account directly via the website. it'll tell you

ruby willow
#

Okay

#

Why must this be so hard. X.x

marble drift
#

You must not be Australian

#

We get the short of end of the stick for games since time fucking immemorial

gritty cedar
#

oceanic server is not a thing in 21st century

ruby willow
#

@marble drift her region is Australia. It says on the account

twilit arch
#

australia is not one of the regions

#

you're either North America, Europe and Other regions or Japan

gritty cedar
#

that’s more like address than region

ruby willow
#

Where can she see what you are talking about? Cus she sees Australia

twilit arch
#

the 2nd one is what matters

gritty cedar
#

we mean the region of the data center

twilit arch
#

no, data center is irrelevant

nova umbra
twilit arch
#

mogstation > Square Enix Account settings > account information > Region

#

to double check what region the account is in

ruby willow
#

Alright

#

And I asked before but I didn't see an answer. Will squre refund her so she can buy the tight region?

twilit arch
#

can ask, but iirc probably not

#

you can try asking on the main sub to trade region keys with someone, and i believe there's a subreddit specifically for swapping keys with someone else

ruby willow
#

Hm alright.

patent citrus
#

normally she won't be in the wrong region

twilit arch
patent citrus
#

as long as you login with your square enix id to square enix store

#

the store will detect which region the SE account is and will change it to that region

#

I think your friend bought it with guest account/bought it from third party without knowing her region

ruby willow
#

She did it with guest by accident yeah

#

So basically she just has to pay the money again? Cus she does not have reddit.

leaden ginkgo
#

If I wanted to get a mount from a trial. Would I have to keep playing it until I get it randomly or would I have to roll against other players?

marble drift
#

reddit is free dude. just make one -.-

#

people do throwaway accounts all the time

ruby willow
#

Fair. R

twilit arch
#

I would still try talking to support first

#

and seeing if they are willing to issue a refund, never know might get lucky with the rep

#

@leaden ginkgo its rolled on, so though the expansion trials have a fallback system in place that you can eventually buy the mount with the totems from the trial

leaden ginkgo
#

Damn thanks. I see it needs 99 of an item just to buy it 😂

agile night
#

I suppose there's no way to get refunds from npc's huh? I bought 3 soul of the crafter before realizing 1. quest gives 3, and 2. can only use 3

twilit arch
#

nope

#

like i said, buying with totems is your fallback if you get super unlucky so you don't necessarily need 99 totems

agile night
#

any particular crafter I should want to have a soul in, or will it incentivize me into changing them anyway? I've been trying to level them pretty evenly

twilit arch
#

doesn't really matter, pretty much i have my souls on the crafters i feel need the boost/make the most intermediate mats so it makes making those HQ easier

#

specialization has specialist recipes, but those change every patch so unless you want to cash in asap on those recipes its not really that make or break in what you choose

jade quartz
#

Changing specialisations is very easy anyway.

#

So

#

don't worry about it

#

like, at all.

agile night
#

I'm only in the 60's right now anyway, probably not in a good position to try to worry about that

twilit arch
#

yer

#

if you wanna put them in something go with whatever would make life a little easier on you

#

but all in all, not something to stress about

agile night
#

they are higher than msq though. I should probably go and finish post hw

Whats a CWLS?

marble drift
#

Cross-World Linkshell

versed aspen
#

What is it? people keep talking about it and idk what it actually is xD

marble drift
#

heh.

#

a linkshell is a user created chat channel.

#

a cross-world one is exactly as it sounds.

#

as regular linkshells are limited to people directly on your server. CWLS's are for groups spanning multiple servers on the same data center.

versed aspen
#

Ohhhh thats pretty cool 😮

#

thank you haha

potent shale
#

what's the best way to level up an Alt Job?

marble drift
#

class?

potent shale
#

trying to level up RDM from 66 to 70

#

my friend is crafting me the Suzaku Flame Kiss Rapier

#

I want to nyoom it

marble drift
#

Heaven on High

oak ice
#

Roulettes>HoH for dps

potent shale
#

But I rarely do HoH

#

I havent even finish PotD

outer plank
marble drift
#

you asked for fastest fam

potent shale
#

dont you need to get to floor 50 or smt to unlock HoH

outer plank
#

or 21-30 on HoH

potent shale
#

hrjfdbhjed

#

true

outer plank
#

but god fuck is it the most tedious shit imaginable

#

i rather just take it slow and do daily roulettes

#

dps queue and all

potent shale
#

you know what, I might torture myself with Dailies and MSQ roluttes

oak ice
#

Then all you've got is to do beast tribes while waiting for queues

potent shale
#

😔

potent shale
#

Diadem is too tedious for me

oak ice
#

You have 12 allowances per day

potent shale
#

but I use all of them just now

#

😂

#

wwww

#

I'll do that

twilit arch
#

can do fates while waiting in queue

#

sb/shb fates are actually fairly decent esp if you get ones that have bonus or have maiden appear

potent shale
#

so whenver a Maiden appear I should kill it?

#

🤔

#

Like those Maiden Forlorns

twilit arch
#

yes 100%

#

they give you a buff called "Twist of Fate" which increases the xp from the next fate you do

#

and if a Forlorn spawns, absolutely should be killing it because it gives an even bigger buff

#

maiden's buff is 50%, forlorn is 250%

#

there was a bugfix patch tuesday

verbal cedar
#

But I logged in normally yesterday 😦

marble dome
#

hm

kind eagle
#

Undersize e4s?

obsidian patio
#

Cannot undersize current expansion content

#

And even if you could it would do literally nothing for E4S besides letting you enter with less than 8 people

kind eagle
#

Then how is hard is e4s

obsidian patio
#

I think with current gear and minimal deaths you don’t see the last phase anymore, but it’s still a very tough fight as it’s the end of a raid tier

robust crow
#

it's pretty hard

#

with a full team of players new to the fight, expect 2 raid nights to clear it

#

1 raid night if y'all are experienced savage raiders

#

a raid night being about 3 hours

#

assuming current gear of course

kind eagle
#

Oh

#

Hard to find people doing it

#

Is ultimate alexander easy?

fresh lodge
#

Lol no

#

Its the hardest fight in the game

kind eagle
#

Oh

fresh lodge
#

Expect multiple tens of ours of prog

robust crow
#

well the "hardest fight in the game" is debatable between TEA, UWU, and UCOB i suppose

#

but yes people literally practice that raid for months without clearing

fresh lodge
#

Experienced raiders seem to take on average 80-120 hours to clear it

kind eagle

What is uwu and ucob

#

I only know eden

robust crow
#

the other 2 ultimate fights

#

next to TEA

marble drift
#

Ultima Weapon: Ultimate

#

and Ultimate Coils of Bahamut

robust crow
#

basically ultimate bahamut, ultimate ultima weapon, and ultimate alexander

kind eagle
#

Clearing it give nice glam right

robust crow
#

ultimate alexander is 18 minutes of grueling mechanics

obsidian patio
#

Very glowy weapons

robust crow
#

well it gives a unique title and unique weapon glams yes

!iglam stardust Rod ultima

zinc orbitBOT
robust crow
#

if you're familiar with savage raiding, the ultimate fights are a step above savages

obsidian patio
#

Much better seen in-game instead of a still image

#

I think ucob and uwu weapons are in Rhalgr’s reach

kind eagle
#

Ye i saw a tank with anarchy weapon

#

So it look cool

robust crow
#

now that i think about it

#

you have to clear e4s before you're allowed to do ultimate alexander

#

so yeah

kind eagle
#

Yeah hard to find party and do it

#

Cause its hard

fresh lodge
#

You're better off finding a TEA static and doing it with them

worthy basin
#

you need hours of patience and a lot of motivation to complete an ultimate

robust crow
#

if your goal is to do TEA then yeah you're very likely going to want to find a static like meara said

#

but you can do e4s in party finder no sweat

#

just expect to spend several hours on it

ancient solar
sour sonnet
#

where do i buy an orchestrion?

robust crow
#

which one?

#

most orchestrion rolls can be purchased on the marketboard

kind eagle
#

Where do u find a static

sour sonnet
#

ah, i'll have a look ty

robust crow
#

some are won through encounters, others are bought with various other currencies

fresh lodge
#

Best place would be r/ffxivrecruitment

robust crow
#

you can also check your DC's party finder, some people recruit for statics on that

kind eagle
#

U know in partyfinder

#

People selling some stuff

#

Like they some cleared party

#

Selling e9s-12?

#

Idk whats that

robust crow
#

one of their players logs on your account

fresh lodge
#

Have you ever cleared a current savage tier?

robust crow
#

and clears the fight for you

marble drift
#

I'll tell you what it is.

#

against ToS

robust crow
#

it's impossible to carry someone through these fights

#

all members need to perform every mechanic 100% right, else everyone wipes

#

so if you want to buy a carry you're going to have to relinquish your account security

kind eagle
#

Oh

fresh lodge
#

Uhhhhhhh

#

Yeeeeeeeah

robust crow
#

clear e12s

kind eagle
#

5,6,7,9,10

robust crow
#

lol

#

clear e12s and e8s

#

before considering ultimates

fresh lodge
#

Maybe you should focus on clearing a current raid tier before ultimate

#

Nobody is going to take someone who can't even clear Savage

robust crow
#

if you were unable to clear e8s before end of its tier, ultimates are significantly harder than that fight

#

e8s is a 14 minute fight

kind eagle
#

I almost clear e8s before maintenance

robust crow
#

TEA is an 18 minute fight

kind eagle
#

But now no one doing it anymore

fresh lodge
#

Almost isn't good enough

#

Ultimate fights are a whole other level

kind eagle
#

I blame them for dying on WL2

fresh lodge
#

If you can't clear Savage, you can't clear Ultimate

kind eagle
#

Damn

robust crow
#

let alone even clearing an ultimate

#

you need 7 other players who want to do that ultimate and are willing to spend hundreds of hours together on that one fight

kind eagle
#

I slowly clear it then

#

The glam so cool

fresh lodge
#

Nobody will take you if you have no proof that you can actually clear content

#

Focus on clearing the current raid tier and getting good parses

marble drift
#

actually hes on elemental.

#

you can sorta get away with no prior xp

#

sorta.

#

No you can't

do crafting classes still share all their gear at 80? same question for gatherers. i'm ~40 on them right now, and was just curious if there are ever times where you don't have all of them wearing the same gear

twilit arch
#

there are sets at 50/60/70/80 that are class specific, but generally those are like entry type gear

#

for the most part though, yes they share gear

timid geyser
#

I'm sure that gatherers share their script set for 70 at least

#

And that crafters have individual script sets

twilit arch
#

as i said, they all have sets at 50/60/70/80 that are class specific

#

but generally those sets are like entry type sets, like the combat job specific gear

#

you're usually not going to use it, unless you're there at the start of an expac and are cheaping out

Hello! I'm really new to the game, started playing this week, so I have not gotten very far yet, I just finished the lv 15 msq. Conjurer (white mage) is currently my primary class and I really want to know if there is an easy way to swap between targeting enemies and allies? (I play with keyboard and mouse) Right now I target by clicking on the enemy I wanna deal damage to or the ally I wanna heal, I feel like there should be an better way....

Tab for enemies, F keys for allies

#

F2 targets the second party slot, F4 the 4th and so on

You need to do story for astro

So pick whatever

Tank and healers have faster ques so

And if you want astro probably better to take conjuerer/white mage to learn healing

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

Hey guys, recently got serious with my DPS skills and have seen the term "parses" come up here and there. What does it mean?

hasty musk
#

They're generally measured by recording logs of fights using ACT and uploading them to FFLogs

old crypt
#

Ohhh I see... Additionally, may I know what does the value for parse represent?

hasty musk
#

It's the statistical percentile

#

So if I parsed, say, 45

#

Then I did better than the bottom 45% of people who uploaded their logs

old crypt

#

That's how many parses have been done in total

agile laurel
#

if you feel it is, sure. you can get by without

void vigil
#

Also curious how hard it is to find groups for content as DPS? Thinking I might roll heals so I can get into groups easier but my heart wants to play black mage

agile laurel
#

i'm not saying you're wrong, but it is how it is

little swift
#

Play black mage then if you want

agile laurel
#

if you have experience in any other mmo, queue time logic is basically the same

#

overabundance of dps yet there's plenty of groups to be in

#

and tanks and healers tend to get their pick of groups

little swift
#

In normal content you'll find a group always

#

And endgame stuff will usually have multiple parties up in pf

#

Static recruitment is a different can of worms

void vigil
#

What’s healing like in this game?

little swift
#

Very scripted there isn't random spike damage outside of trash pulls

#

So you can essentially plan a lot of the cd usage in fights

void vigil
#

Hmm

#

Might just be Black mage and bite the bullet

#

Sit in the queues

little swift
#

That said healing output can still be quite heavy in raid content

#

And mixing in dps is part of the challenge

#

Healer dps matters and makes a marked difference

void vigil
#

How about the summoner vs. the black mage

little swift
#

What are you comparing there?

#

Casters are balanced super tightly in damage

#

Summoner is more of a dot mage with demisummon burst phases

#

Whereas black mage is explosions and short ice phase

agile laurel
#

compared to other games cough world of warcraft, the balancing of dps between classes is VERY tight

little swift
#

Both have decent mobility

#

And summoner has a battle raise

void vigil
#

Comparing play styles

#

Black mage seems appealing because you have giant spells and burst damage

little swift
#

Black mage will constantly be throwing out big hard hitting spells

#

Thats their schtick

#

Whereas smn waxes and wanes depending on the phase of their rotation

#

Not to say their damage hard falls off outside of demisummons

#

!faq smnrotation

zinc orbitBOT
#
Error!

No tag named smnrotation exists, Kupo!

little swift
#

Heck

#

!faq smncycle

zinc orbitBOT
#
The two minute cycle by Edyis Darkbane and Elevation Xx (Faerie)
agile laurel
#

yes. summoner's playstyle is a bit more 'manage your uptime and do your chores' outside of the demi-summon windows

#

!action summon bahamut

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Summon Bahamut** : lvl 70 SMN (30.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Summons Demi-Bahamut to fight by your side. Each time you cast a spell on an enemy, Demi-Bahamut will execute Wyrmwave on the same target.
Duration: 20s
Dreadwyrm Aether Cost: 2
Cannot summon Demi-Bahamut unless a pet is already summoned. Current pet will leave the battlefield while Demi-Bahamut is present, and return once gone. Cannot use while under the effect of Dreadwyrm Trance.

agile laurel
#

whereas black mage has a comparatively short core loop of about a dozen or so GCDs which, broadly, you can just repeat til hell freezes over

halcyon radish
#

what do they want me to do?

#

I don't understand... I tried using the board to level their stats

little swift
#

They want all three of the stats to exceed the requirements

#

So that means you have to use missions and stuff to level up your squadron more

fresh isle
#

I am playing with settings
Can I make displaying names smaller?
I want to see the names most of the time but they are too big right now

void vigil
#

Interesting - would you say black mage is more GCD locked ?

halcyon radish
#

But I already got them to level 20

agile laurel
#

blm doesn't have many off-GCD actions

manic flare
#

@cold cove you can trade other mount whistles

#

just not the primal ones

agile laurel
#

because they only have 2 instant cast spells, not counting procs

cursive terrace
void vigil
agile laurel
#

and one of those instant cast spells you just never press cause it's shite

#

summoner has a l o t of off globals

little swift
agile laurel
#

!action egi assault

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Egi Assault** : lvl 10 ACN SMN (30.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Orders your Egi to use Aerial Slash if Garuda-Egi is summoned, Crimson Cyclone if Ifrit-Egi is summoned, or Earthen Armor if Titan-Egi is summoned. Maximum Charges: 2
Can only be executed while in combat.

agile laurel
#

that and egi assault 2 make up a large percentage of your 'doing chores' phase of rotation

void vigil
#

Sick I think im leaning towards SMN then, their gear doesn’t look that cool though

little swift
agile laurel
#

eh, don't factor too much on job/class sets

#

gear in this game is 90% just divided into casters, ranged physical, tanks, etc etc

halcyon radish
little swift
#

Role based sets are universal for that role

agile laurel
#

and most sets ARE role based

#

besides uh, the ones that aren't

little swift
#

You pick pieces based on your substat needs

#

But thats an endgame detail

#

@halcyon radish check the numbers the mission requires

halcyon radish
#

It's not the mission that's required

void vigil
#

Let me also ask - is there a healing job similar to WoW’s Holy Paladin?

little swift
#

Can also consider putting in a different party makeup

halcyon radish
#

it's unlocking the next type of thing

#

here's the full message

little swift
#

Check your squadron missions

agile laurel
little swift
#

There should be a flagged mission available

#

That needs to be completed to rank up your squadron to rank 2

halcyon radish
little swift
#

Meet all 3 stat requirements to clear it

agile laurel
#

XIV's healers are considerably more simple in the base concept of 'healing' compared to WoW, but they often have subsystems and gimmicks to fill in the gap

manic flare
#

WoW has a more complex healing system?

#

how?

#

never played WoW just legitimately curious

halcyon radish
void vigil
#

The classes are very unique

halcyon radish
#

i am... angy

agile laurel
#

in the basis that succeeding at keeping the party alive is a damn sight harder to achieve in WoW than xiv

void vigil
#

I like the sound of the SMN play style, but their gear doesn’t look very cool or flashy hahah...

little swift
#

Do some trainings probably 1 strength and 1 mental or something

halcyon radish
#

WoW is honestly more developed in general especially for raiding...

#

it's no surprise healing is more complex

agile laurel
#

however the gap is filled in that most XIV healers, played very well, have a lot more to do in support oriented action than just keeping people's health above 0

little swift
agile laurel
#

you're likely looking at smn job gear

#

which is the 10%

little swift
#

Raiding isn't any less complex here

halcyon radish
#

No it's just not as mechanically sound.

manic flare
#

so healers are weaker in WoW compared to FFXIV?

little swift
#

Theres just no gimmicky soul forging bs

little swift
halcyon radish
#

No, it's not.

agile laurel
#

WoW raiding difficulty arises from its classes being harder to play 'perfectly'
FFXIV raiding difficulty arises from harder checks on perfection, and mechanics being MUCH more complex

#

but this is beside the point

halcyon radish
#

Yea ok

#

the mechanics in this game are clearly not as well polished or timed as the ones in WoW

#

lol

#

if I wanted to raid I'd switch back

manic flare
#

FFXIV raiding difficulty arises from harder checks on perfection this sounds like another way of saying this WoW raiding difficulty arises from its classes being harder to play 'perfectly'

agile laurel
#

this isn't really uh

#

the point

void vigil
halcyon radish
#

No

#

Why would that be the main focus? there's so many other avenues of content in MMOs

#

I'm going to start by levelling all my jobs probably

void vigil
#

That’s just what most people enjoy

halcyon radish
#

and doing the MSQ

void vigil
#

Difficult PvE group content

little swift
#

Because that's untrue as well

halcyon radish
#

The timing on the mechanics themselves just does not feel as good

#

it's very evident

little swift
#

Needing dbm as a mandatory tool for raiding isn't exactly good mechanic display either

halcyon radish
#

mechanics feel very clean when you dodge them in WoW

little swift
#

Thats a consequence of you just not understanding the games snapshot

halcyon radish
#

you don't even need DBM raid leaders just ask you to have it because they're tired of explaining the fight so often tbh

#

or nobody wants to explain the fight in general

little swift
#

That doesn't mean wow has more mechanical depth

halcyon radish
#

didn't say anything about that just now

void vigil
#

If you think WoW PVE is better then I see no reason to play FFXIV since you can get better story from a single player FF game

agile laurel
#

where did this even arise from

little swift
fresh lodge
#

They're fundamentally different games

void vigil
halcyon radish
#

14 is pretty good so far story-wise

fresh lodge
halcyon radish
#

and it's a much more appealing levelling/mmo experience so far

#

and it's final fantasy so

agile laurel
#

if you prefer the concept of vibing around melee range while healing, go scholar

fresh lodge
#

Well I'm guessing by hpal you mean Holy Paladin

agile laurel
#

you may also prefer scholar for its similarity of having larger heals but not incredibly on demand

fresh lodge
#

The "closest" would be WHM

#

But we don't have hybrid classes like WoW

void vigil
#

SCH/SMN are a package deal right

agile laurel
#

yep

#

level one, get the other

void vigil
#

Sick

#

Easy choice then

agile laurel
#

they're the closest thing to subclasses that exists

halcyon radish
#

The thing is this snapshot thing I'm reading about is evidence that this game just isn't as polished, it's not my fault that i have to learn how to circumvent the game's mechanics not timing properly

agile laurel
#

sch and smn were i think an attempt at making a job with subclasses but they decided to not bother with others

halcyon radish
#

just takes getting used to

#

obviously

fresh lodge
#

The snapshot system isn't hard to understand

halcyon radish
#

But if this game were as polished as WoW it would not have this timing issue with snapshots at all

#

Yea

fresh lodge
#

Aoe marker goes away, you take damage

halcyon radish
#

it's not hard to understand, it's just not good

The games mechanics time just fine though? Its just different from what you have experienced before

fresh lodge
#

That doesn't make it less polished

halcyon radish
#

in World of Warcraft the animations always line up with the snapshots perfectly

little swift
#

Calling it unpolished is a fallacy

halcyon radish
#

in this it's inconsistent

fresh lodge
#

Its not inconsistent

agile laurel
#

the only difference is XIV damage snapshots when the aoe marker disappears

#

that's just a design decision

fresh lodge
#

Aoes snapshot when the marker goes away

#

FFXIV doesn't have animation delay like WoW does

#

Your spells do damage when the cast is finished, there is no travel time

halcyon radish
#

in WoW the AoE marker disappears and the animation plays at the same time, if you step out too late you take damage, if you go back in during the animation you take damage

fresh lodge
#

Great

#

This isn't WoW

halcyon radish
#

Yes

#

But

fresh lodge
#

But nothing

crystal bluff
#

that doesnt make it inconsistent
it consistently works that way in this game

halcyon radish
#

Just because it "isn't WoW" isn't an excuse for the timing to be inconsistent on these attack animations

fresh lodge
#

You don't understand the game but feel the need to call this inconsistent and unpolished

plush hound
#

Is this really a discussion best suited for this room?

halcyon radish
#

No because some attacks have a different timing

fresh lodge
#

They don't

#

When the marker goes away, thats when your position is snapshotted

#

It doesn't matter if the damage comes out with the animation, your position is based on when the marker disappeared

jovial tide
#

For DRK, is it more optimal to open with hard slash + weave edge of shadow, or edge then hard slash?

halcyon radish
#

You aren't understanding what I'm saying.
I said I understand how it works and I can get used to it, it just does not feel as good.

vestal cargo
#

as much as i dislike snapshots while raiding, they're easy to work around

halcyon radish
#

Yea, it's not too hard to work around obv

vestal cargo
#

unless you have 300 ping

halcyon radish
#

just feels better and more smooth/polished in WoW generally

#

anyways sorry for the tangent

fresh lodge
#

It being a different system to WoW does not make it worse/unpolished

halcyon radish
#

That wasn't my point at all

#

please just stop

young yarrow
#

@jovial tide You open with Blood Weapon, Hard Slash + Edge of Shadow wave

plush hound
#

@jovial tide by a small margin, edge to get the buff.

hazy shadow
#

Snapshots are honestly more helpful than they are difficult to deal with.

#

Let's you plan more easily your pathing/dfc rolling

#

Gcd

jovial tide
#

Up to now I've been doing hard slash, edge + blood weapon double weave but as a whole I'm unsure if I should be doing something different

young yarrow
#

Generally you want to Blood weapon right before you start hitting the boss so you can still get 5 GCDs in

jovial tide
#

Namely I don't know when is an optimal time to go into delirium spamming during the opener

young yarrow
#

And Generally 5th GCD is good for Delirium, if timings are bad you can do it right after 3rd GCD (which is where you summon Living Shadow)

jovial tide
#

Is it generally looked down upon to blood weapon + delirium? Heard somewhere that it messes up your ability to get 5 GCDs in

young yarrow
#

Yes

#

You want 5 GCDs in BOTH Blood Weapon and Delirium

agile laurel
#

um, not at the same time tho

#

ofc

young yarrow
#

Yeah lol

#

But if it happens to be up in the middle of Delirium, then yeah it's w/e

#

Just make sure you do it ~2/3 - 3/4 of your GCD to get all 5 in

gleaming mist
#

if your bw and delirium are up at similar times, then you want to ensure that you won't overcap on blood while you're spamming bloodspiller

#

since you don't have a way to dump blood outside of living shadow if both are active

jovial tide
#

Honestly DRK was pretty fun at lower levels but now I stare at my hotbars the whole fight and can't really appreciate the skill animations for what they are

cosmic reef
#

Play PLD

#

Check your mp every 70 seconds.

#

That's how you play

little swift
#

70 wouldn't be quite accurate but if you rotate correctly 60 is fine

jovial tide
#

I'm basically leveling all 4 tanks at the same rate and GNB feels the best right now at 75

#

WAR is a close second

#

DRK just feels like you have to work twice as hard just to dish out the same amount of damage

#

It's just an aesthetic I think? Like how AST has cards to keep busy. Dk you have to manage blood/mana

potent tapir
#

DRK has you keep tabs on mana and blood, so it can feel busier but, if you're following your rotation, it means you can ignore most of it

#

Sans for dungeons, where it's kind of a duck hunt where you just shoot everything and forget you over capped

jovial tide
#

The rotation part is pretty easy to optimize it's just the opener I struggle with

potent tapir
#

Yeah, there's a lot of weaving in the opener

hazy shadow
#

It's been suggested to me to try stone sky sea for. Opener practice

pallid delta
#

Wondering what the popup messages for fishing are? I keep seeing things like "something shiny in the water" "a face from the depth" "menacing presence"

hazy shadow
#

Because AST opener uses a lot of double weaving

#

But once you get it down it locks in pretty tight. And your fingers do all the brain work.

potent tapir
#

Yeah, the AST opener is...uh

#

It's really annoying unless you practice it a lot

#

And then you also have to keep in mind the boss mechanics/healing requirements at the same time

#

And who you're healing with and it gets galaxy brain

vocal shell
#

Just ed tank when they’re low

#

Ez

#

and if people dont stand in ur star its their fault

jovial tide
#

Not surprised, all the good ASTs I've seen kind of give off this galaxy brain aura the whole pull

sterile flower
#

Will the starlight bear be gone forever?
or should I get it now while i still can, lmao.

#

on the mogstation

faint flare
#

Items are rarely, if ever, removed from Mogstation

#

It will be there basically forever

sterile flower
#

oah that's good

little swift
#

It goes on sale quite frequently as well

jovial tide
#

Got a question about WHM Holy spamming

#

So what I find is that during really large pulls it might take 7 to 8 secs for mobs to fully gather and maybe another 2 to 3 before WHM realizes and spams holy

ocean tartan
#

Hello. Where is the best place to farm Memories of the Dying?

faint flare
#

Bojza if you get a good party

#

Otherwise heavensward fates

jovial tide
#

Now I'm kind of suffering there if I wait first, but I'd also just being wasting a CD or several if I don't hesitate

#

So honestly I'm not sure what to do

faint flare
#

Still use a cd

potent tapir
#

Spam Dia on stuff

jovial tide
#

Dia?

faint flare
#

Use your 30% or a mix of light cooldowns

potent tapir
#

Alternatively, you can Swift Holy the first group and then spam Dia/Aero

faint flare
#

Cause mobs can still sneak a hit between stuns

potent tapir
#

Oh, you are the tank

faint flare
#

Theyre the tank

jovial tide
#

I'm the tank in this case

potent tapir
#

Just use a light CD

#

20% is good if you aren't a WAR or DRK

#

If you are a DRK, just don't use TBN

hi all, I am pretty new I just got to level... 53 glad, someone in a dungeon suggested getting paladin for more abilities, so I did that, but im not really sure if I have done something wrong. my aim would be to become a dark knight (They seem pretty neat). am I good or did i commit some sin

remote lintel
#

dark knight doesnt have a base class

#

you were supposed to be a paladin at lvl 30

subtle lake
#

im new , there was no hint to do that

remote lintel
#

the game told you to do your class quests

subtle lake
#

so I just carried on

#

it seems the leveling must have been changed because I out leveled it all quite fast

remote lintel
#

thats normal in early game

subtle lake
#

(maybe its always been like that)

shrewd owl
#

job quests appear right below your MSQ tracker
chances are if smth is there u should do it

remote lintel
#

but do your class quests

subtle lake
#

ah ok, well seeing as dark has no base - shouldnt really cause any issues i Imagine when I get to that point?

crystal bluff
#

nope

subtle lake
#

nice, ok - im a wow refugee and playing on ps5 so its tricky to ask much currently (unless I find a good wireless keyboard)
