But tossing like the phase rotation and stuff blows some peoples heads on first look
is Heaven on High also good for leveling past 70?
what do you do after 70?
Bozja is the replacement for deep dungeons.
Dungeons, beast tribes, roulette, bojza
The Bozjan Southern Front
oh so bozja the ShB deep dungeon?
No
More eureka styled
Bozja is a open map content
But gives xp for outside
also Trust parties for dungeons
But it has the same benefit: "good way for DPS to level up"
ensuring instant queues.
is there a cash shop?
!faq mogstation
that^
Mogstation is not the shop anymore
https://store.finalfantasyxiv.com/ffxivstore/en-us/
^that is
Mogstation is only for subscription and that kind of thing now
That's probably the /cpose for male DRKs
i mean mogstation still links to the shop
cool. how do the costumes work? they go over your gear? why do they have stats
Still, kind of indirect and it might confuse people
Better to just link the actual shop don't ya think?
Some mogstation sets have sets but they’re not practical to use past level 20
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
A majority of them are level 1 gear with no stats
Can i trade my lunar fife away?
Uhhhhh... contact support? That seems like something you'd want to talk to a GM about but idk if you can contact them directly
You probably should tell your fc mate what happened anyway
yeah T_T
No.
Mounts for the most part are untradeable
oh
Where can i get the level 50 vendor crafting gear
There’s no level 50 vendor set, closest thing is level 51 stuff in Ishgard
you can actually buy the crafted 50 stuff with yellow scrips now
the job specific stuff that is
Oh yeah that stuff, though it’s not that great

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
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
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
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
You'll love the Unreal trials when you get to 80 then haha
You might try:
https://discord.gg/BmpW6C9
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!
not sure
Yeah
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
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
Clear E4S
e4s is dead
Party finder it
Go speak to the Wandering Minstrel in Kugane
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 
i might try clearing e4s blind if people doing it nxt time
@tame magnet any of the eden promise ones
E4S should be a cakewalk to clear now
Well, minus the middle phase
scroll down
ONLY books there
its from the antiquated stuff
You're looking at the savage exchange
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
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.
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
So i assume Eternity dropped Blade + Torso then?
whatever you rolled for and won
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.
!faq edenloot
Oh thanks, sry
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

@ruby willow if she wants to buy the whole game then she can get the complete
@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
it comes with everything
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?
correct
she can also hold on to the code if she doesnt want to end her trial right away
yes complete has everything
Thank ya. Its been a while since I bought it
Anybody have tips on getting Castrum done for Bozjan? Like can I LFG here or is there another discord for this?
party finder
If I played through stormblood but don’t remember anything about the story, is there some kind of catchup

In terms of in-game resources, basically only new game plus and reading the journal entries for completed quests
watching the inn cutscenes
#archived-lore-spoilers has this pin, which gives the story in a reading format for ARR+HW
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?
just do fates and critical engagements?
No potions or gears needed? That seems mind numbing lol
So what is fellowship finder? is it just like a random party finder?
You're synced to 430
Bozjan Front is basically the POTD/HOH for 71-80
It’s an EXP grind with no queue time
@versed aspen fellowships are like message boards
@obsidian patio you always come in clutch with the facts. Bless your knees
All you need to make sure is that you have some kind of equipment worn, unlike POTD/HOH
What happens when you join one? @remote lintel
Some fellowships have discord links in their description
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
other than daily rolo any better ways to farm tomes
hunt trains
Or organize lala only raids etc
hunt trains for tomes?
Yes
tbh i still dont get the concept of hunt trains
Ahh thank you for the help ;D
people find all 12 A ranks and then call a train when they find them
then you go and get all of them
a ranks?
A rank monsters
A rank mobs in open world
Basically overworld bosses on long respawn timers
ok they drop tiomes?
Alot of them have specific spawn conditions too
yes
u mean like fates?
no
No
A and S rank monsters aren’t shown on the map and must be found
Single mob. Cant be solo-ed
older expac ones can be soloed
wait are there link on info on this
True but ARR ones are a bitch.
scroll down to rewards
so they drop new tomes?
Yes
ah ok thanks
also you need to have unlocked hunts all the way to shb
i assume that explain in wiki
yes
hunts but you can do both
A-ranks have an approximate 2 hour respawn time
ok
so hunt train is like a trail/raid?
Its 20 per A rank iirc. So if you catch a train,thats 240 in about 15 minutes.
no
its just a bunch of people teleporting from area to area and killing mobs there
No its rando players all moving tigether to kill the mobs
opk lol
any use for poteics tomes left?
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.

!faq poetics
I've been doing alot of turnins because I wanna get my FC level up
what should I spend my gc seals on?
Im capped
Ventures for your retainers, mats to make minions, send your squadron on missions
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?
Your ID is basically just your username you created for your account
and there is a
forgot your ID
Gotcha
where can I find retainers?
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.
and then to find them after you hire them, go to a summoning bell which you can find in all those cities
You need to own the Starter Edition to access retainers
before you wonder why you can't hire one
You can also access a summoning bell from an inn room.
Try using the search function
/isearch vial of fantasia
It'll tell you where it is if you have one in retainer, saddlebag etc
oo doesn't see it. :S
uh
Guess I got to purchase it
D:
ahh I'll try fantasia
Even then wouldn't it just be phial because old?

why cant i get micon wave or emotes as micons
first page
ah so I have to summon bambi to get it
I also recommend switching your inventory to Full so you can see all tags at once
Besides straight up buying them from the MB, is there any effective/viable way to farm crystals?
Aetherial Reduction
wait how do you do that
Especially since the emphermal node rework like a week ago
Send your retainers on ventures for them, or you can grow them in a flower pot.
For retainers I can only see the shards rather than crystals 🤔
I'll look into this, thanks
can i know how to do this and about ur garlean au www
Character Settings > UI > Inventory options, I think
@wintry chasm so we fixed that. Now it days her login is restricted. You know why?
Probably from trying to log in and failing too much
Should have an email to fix that
I see. Alright
Thanks guys, I went from a pretty girl to a fierce tiger man
Want me to DM you about the second
Is Cinder Drift PF? Says less than 5m but it's not filling.
Normal no
Normal
Extreme, also no but its an old trial
yespls
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
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.
It's an old trial and it's also off peak times. Try again in 12 hours or so.
Or, you could stick it out and wait for trial roulette to fill it.
try to queue it during the reset time
Australians don't get copies. We get "Europe and Other Regions"
So she needs to buy the eu one? Can square refund her the copy she just bought so she can buy the right one?
it depends which region she registered her SE account tbh

im from australia too and i can comfortably play in NA servers
She is registered AU I guess cus she is moving from ps4 to pc
Thats not a region mate. Check her account directly via the website. it'll tell you
You must not be Australian
We get the short of end of the stick for games since time fucking immemorial
oceanic server is not a thing in 21st century
@marble drift her region is Australia. It says on the account
australia is not one of the regions
you're either North America, Europe and Other regions or Japan
that’s more like address than region
Where can she see what you are talking about? Cus she sees Australia
we mean the region of the data center
no, data center is irrelevant
what is braindead ss?
mogstation > Square Enix Account settings > account information > Region
to double check what region the account is in
Alright
And I asked before but I didn't see an answer. Will squre refund her so she can buy the tight region?
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
Hm alright.
Can you link me to this?
normally she won't be in the wrong region
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
She did it with guest by accident yeah
So basically she just has to pay the money again? Cus she does not have reddit.
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?
Fair. R
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
Damn thanks. I see it needs 99 of an item just to buy it 😂
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
nope
like i said, buying with totems is your fallback if you get super unlucky so you don't necessarily need 99 totems
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
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
Changing specialisations is very easy anyway.
So
don't worry about it
like, at all.
I'm only in the 60's right now anyway, probably not in a good position to try to worry about that
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
they are higher than msq though. I should probably go and finish post hw

I forgot my SE account password but no matter how many time I reset my password i cant login
someone can help me?
Did you answer the security questions?
And are you sure you're typing in your new passwords correctly?
i really dont know why
maybe is takes time to change the password even if it says it's already changed
Whats a CWLS?
Cross-World Linkshell
What is it? people keep talking about it and idk what it actually is xD
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.
class?
trying to level up RDM from 66 to 70
my friend is crafting me the Suzaku Flame Kiss Rapier
I want to nyoom it
Heaven on High
Roulettes>HoH for dps
you spam floors 51-60
you asked for fastest fam
dont you need to get to floor 50 or smt to unlock HoH
or 21-30 on HoH
but god fuck is it the most tedious shit imaginable
i rather just take it slow and do daily roulettes
dps queue and all
you know what, I might torture myself with Dailies and MSQ roluttes
Then all you've got is to do beast tribes while waiting for queues
😔
but I'm using Beast Tribes to level up my DoH/DoL
Diadem is too tedious for me
You have 12 allowances per day
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
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%

Hii, anyone had this today ?
there was a bugfix patch tuesday
But I logged in normally yesterday 😦
hm
Undersize e4s?
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
Then how is hard is e4s
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
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
Oh
Expect multiple tens of ours of prog
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
Experienced raiders seem to take on average 80-120 hours to clear it
basically ultimate bahamut, ultimate ultima weapon, and ultimate alexander
Clearing it give nice glam right
ultimate alexander is 18 minutes of grueling mechanics
Very glowy weapons
well it gives a unique title and unique weapon glams yes
!iglam ultimate stardust Rod
So cool
!iglam stardust Rod ultima
if you're familiar with savage raiding, the ultimate fights are a step above savages
Much better seen in-game instead of a still image
I think ucob and uwu weapons are in Rhalgr’s reach
now that i think about it
you have to clear e4s before you're allowed to do ultimate alexander
so yeah
You're better off finding a TEA static and doing it with them
you need hours of patience and a lot of motivation to complete an ultimate
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
does anyone know what is the name of this cloth please
where do i buy an orchestrion?
Where do u find a static
ah, i'll have a look ty
some are won through encounters, others are bought with various other currencies
Best place would be r/ffxivrecruitment
you can also check your DC's party finder, some people recruit for statics on that
U know in partyfinder
People selling some stuff
Like they some cleared party
Selling e9s-12?
Idk whats that
one of their players logs on your account
Have you ever cleared a current savage tier?
and clears the fight for you
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
clear e12s
5,6,7,9,10
Maybe you should focus on clearing a current raid tier before ultimate
Nobody is going to take someone who can't even clear Savage
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
I almost clear e8s before maintenance
TEA is an 18 minute fight
But now no one doing it anymore
I blame them for dying on WL2
If you can't clear Savage, you can't clear Ultimate
Damn
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
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
No you can't
you could in theory, but you'd get exposed pretty quickly
Hmm
Does anyone know this Legs call pls help
its the Songbird Skirt
Thank you
oh well its a pretty scuffed picture.
its part of the skirt
Lookscute ty
Its come with the whole set
so have to buy it for 5$ usd

Help me why is this one so expensive and where can i get it

They’re basically the “get a random item” venture option to send your retainer out on
you can send retainers off on missions, or ventures
quick ventures have a low, low chance to bring pure and metallic dyes
the only other source of most of them is mogstation
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
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
I'm sure that gatherers share their script set for 70 at least
And that crafters have individual script sets
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
okay, thank you 😄
how Can I change my hair color
Did u unlock cryatarium
It doesn’t have an outfit name, it’s a set of raid gear from the Yorha raids, type 51 being from Copied Factory
With type 53 from Puppet’s Bunker
That’s not part of the requirement.
The quest you’ll need for the hairdresser NPC guy is called “Beauty is only scalp deep” in Limsa upper decks, near the adventurers guild
Level 15
you're meant to have 3 in your whole alliance so...
solo tanking it all sounds impossible
is what it looks like
NO
You tank it like anything else
I meant how to tank for dumbass in Copied Factory lel
Cooldown for busters
hit boss. cooldown busters
Try to keep boss centre
don't spin boss
Do mechanics
Yeh
ok
E11s is weird
People usually mark what add spawn your alliance takes
dont be
The tank keep spinning the boss
I cant hit positional
aint no thang
I just barely master copied factory as a healer
😔
whelp
I want that YorHa gear for tank
Im at my room now
In fflog
ty
guys I just saw miqote with 2 big horn in their head like curve down what gear is that pls
!itemglam Succubus Horns
those?
!itemglam Ultima Horns
Thinking those
those are just recoloured behemoth horns no?
!itemglam Behemoth Horns
and it look less long
there's no head piece called behemoth horns
Ok just didn't want to have difficulty getting into dungeons and parties etc
Tank and healers have faster ques so
And if you want astro probably better to take conjuerer/white mage to learn healing
https://i.imgur.com/jm9giuD.png one has F in the name. One not. What does F mean? 😮
Just classic FF target designation
So you can tell which mob is which in the enemy list
Imagine you aggro 3 of those Taoquan and only 1 of them starts to cast a thing. Its quicker to type "hit B" cause those letters are universal.
how do you actually upgrade your job? i've finished my uhhh class questline?
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.
Ohh thank you, and.. is there an looking for group (for dungeons etc) on this discord?
cause ima be que'ing for hours XD
dps queues commonly take 10-15 minutes
tank and healer queues are typically instant
also depends on what you're queuing for
copperbell.. for the quest 😂
shouldn't take any longer than 10-15 minutes
Okey dokkeyy
Try asking for help in the data center channel if it takes more than 15 minutes
And since you are in JP try checking your language settings to all 4
You on Jp
and its like midnight
dungeon queues are long cause everyones asleep my dude.
they're talking about leveling roulette
regardless what day it is people are probably still doing leveling
people still be doing leveling roulette right now

what's the daily reset, what does it do?
all your daily quests and roulettes reset
so you qualify for their first-time-a-day bonus again
At what level can I join a FC?
Any level as long as you are not on free trial
Thanks! 👍
What level do we have to be to get in the masked carnival
does the starter edition key expire? my friend wants to keep the key until the free trail run out
Never
hi!! is there a good source for macros and markers in general for tanks?
like timers and useful general tank stuff for raiding
Hey guys, recently got serious with my DPS skills and have seen the term "parses" come up here and there. What does it mean?
Parses are a numerical representation of how well a person performs in terms of DPS relative to other players of their job
They're generally measured by recording logs of fights using ACT and uploading them to FFLogs
Ohhh I see... Additionally, may I know what does the value for parse represent?
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
What about this value that is usually in the thousands?
Check #tank-lounge
That's how many parses have been done in total
I want to gift a friend one primal whistle. I wanted to give him the Ifrit one but when I got it it told me that I already have it so I didn't get it. If I get another whistle and give it to him can I get it again for myself or it will tell that I already have it?
for that fight and of the job that was used?
can't trade these or sell
Yes, I believe so

||amusing aside, i think directly before this is the only time Rescue's ever been used by an NPC and it was to kill someone||
just did a dungeon because the grand company hunting log required mobs from it, but i didn't see a single one of the mobs?
I did it by myself, would that have something to do w it
oh wait i did Halatali (Hard) but the internet is saying it's a level 24 dungeon...i must've chose the wrong Halatali
You gotta do the original Halatali
The GC ranking dungeons always require the non-hard ones
Meaning the original
Do you still need some 3rd party damage tracker add on
is there a list of all the dungeons you need to unlock for the expert roulette?
current expert is heroes gaultlet + matoya's relct. 80 roulette is basically everything else in shb
ah
thx
Expert Roulette is always the last 2 dunegons released
Lv80 dunegons is everything else
if you want to track damage? yes

That’s kind of a requirement isn’t it
if you feel it is, sure. you can get by without
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
i'm not saying you're wrong, but it is how it is
Play black mage then if you want
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
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
What’s healing like in this game?
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
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
How about the summoner vs. the black mage
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
compared to other games cough world of warcraft, the balancing of dps between classes is VERY tight
Comparing play styles
Black mage seems appealing because you have giant spells and burst damage
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
yes. summoner's playstyle is a bit more 'manage your uptime and do your chores' outside of the demi-summon windows
!action summon bahamut
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.
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
what do they want me to do?
I don't understand... I tried using the board to level their stats
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
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
Interesting - would you say black mage is more GCD locked ?
But I already got them to level 20
blm doesn't have many off-GCD actions
because they only have 2 instant cast spells, not counting procs
how do i unlock command missions?
How about sum?
and one of those instant cast spells you just never press cause it's shite
summoner has a l o t of off globals
Rank2 promotion will unlock them
!action egi assault
that and egi assault 2 make up a large percentage of your 'doing chores' phase of rotation
Sick I think im leaning towards SMN then, their gear doesn’t look that cool though
You may have to shuffle the stats around with trainings then to meet the numbers
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
this is as balanced as I could get it so far
Role based sets are universal for that role
You pick pieces based on your substat needs
But thats an endgame detail
@halcyon radish check the numbers the mission requires
It's not the mission that's required
Let me also ask - is there a healing job similar to WoW’s Holy Paladin?
Can also consider putting in a different party makeup
Check your squadron missions
Not as such. If you're strong at hpal, specifically crusader strike oriented builds, you'll feel very at home with the amount of damage uptime XIV healers can achieve played correctly
There should be a flagged mission available
That needs to be completed to rank up your squadron to rank 2
i'm gonna be honest I didn't think that's what it would be, ty
Meet all 3 stat requirements to clear it
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
WoW has a more complex healing system?
how?
never played WoW just legitimately curious
The classes are very unique
i am... angy
in the basis that succeeding at keeping the party alive is a damn sight harder to achieve in WoW than xiv
I like the sound of the SMN play style, but their gear doesn’t look very cool or flashy hahah...
Do some trainings probably 1 strength and 1 mental or something
WoW is honestly more developed in general especially for raiding...
it's no surprise healing is more complex
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
That isn't entirely true
as said, gear in this game is 90% just for 'casters'
you're likely looking at smn job gear
which is the 10%
Raiding isn't any less complex here
No it's just not as mechanically sound.
so healers are weaker in WoW compared to FFXIV?
Theres just no gimmicky soul forging bs
This is completely false
No, it's not.
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
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
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'
What are you doing in FFXIV then? Isn’t raiding the main endgame
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
That’s just what most people enjoy
and doing the MSQ
In what way?
Difficult PvE group content
Because that's untrue as well
The timing on the mechanics themselves just does not feel as good
it's very evident
Needing dbm as a mandatory tool for raiding isn't exactly good mechanic display either
mechanics feel very clean when you dodge them in WoW
Thats a consequence of you just not understanding the games snapshot
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
That doesn't mean wow has more mechanical depth
didn't say anything about that just now
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
where did this even arise from
You referred to this
They're fundamentally different games
Me asking if there was a class like hpal lol
14 is pretty good so far story-wise
WHM would be the closest
and it's a much more appealing levelling/mmo experience so far
and it's final fantasy so

if you prefer the concept of vibing around melee range while healing, go scholar
Well I'm guessing by hpal you mean Holy Paladin
you may also prefer scholar for its similarity of having larger heals but not incredibly on demand
SCH/SMN are a package deal right
they're the closest thing to subclasses that exists
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
sch and smn were i think an attempt at making a job with subclasses but they decided to not bother with others
The snapshot system isn't hard to understand
But if this game were as polished as WoW it would not have this timing issue with snapshots at all
Yea
Aoe marker goes away, you take damage
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
That doesn't make it less polished
in World of Warcraft the animations always line up with the snapshots perfectly
Calling it unpolished is a fallacy
in this it's inconsistent
Its not inconsistent
the only difference is XIV damage snapshots when the aoe marker disappears
that's just a design decision
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
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
But nothing
that doesnt make it inconsistent
it consistently works that way in this game
Just because it "isn't WoW" isn't an excuse for the timing to be inconsistent on these attack animations
You don't understand the game but feel the need to call this inconsistent and unpolished
Is this really a discussion best suited for this room?
No because some attacks have a different timing
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
For DRK, is it more optimal to open with hard slash + weave edge of shadow, or edge then hard slash?
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.
as much as i dislike snapshots while raiding, they're easy to work around
Yea, it's not too hard to work around obv
unless you have 300 ping
just feels better and more smooth/polished in WoW generally
anyways sorry for the tangent
It being a different system to WoW does not make it worse/unpolished
@jovial tide You open with Blood Weapon, Hard Slash + Edge of Shadow wave
@jovial tide by a small margin, edge to get the buff.
Snapshots are honestly more helpful than they are difficult to deal with.
Let's you plan more easily your pathing/dfc rolling
Gcd
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
Generally you want to Blood weapon right before you start hitting the boss so you can still get 5 GCDs in
Namely I don't know when is an optimal time to go into delirium spamming during the opener
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)
Is it generally looked down upon to blood weapon + delirium? Heard somewhere that it messes up your ability to get 5 GCDs in
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
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
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
70 wouldn't be quite accurate but if you rotate correctly 60 is fine
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
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

The rotation part is pretty easy to optimize it's just the opener I struggle with
Yeah, there's a lot of weaving in the opener
It's been suggested to me to try stone sky sea for. Opener practice
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"
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.
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

Just ed tank when they’re low
Ez
and if people dont stand in ur star its their fault
Not surprised, all the good ASTs I've seen kind of give off this galaxy brain aura the whole pull
Will the starlight bear be gone forever?
or should I get it now while i still can, lmao.
on the mogstation
Items are rarely, if ever, removed from Mogstation
It will be there basically forever
oah that's good
It goes on sale quite frequently as well
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
Hello. Where is the best place to farm Memories of the Dying?
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
Still use a cd
Spam Dia on stuff
Dia?
Use your 30% or a mix of light cooldowns
Alternatively, you can Swift Holy the first group and then spam Dia/Aero
Cause mobs can still sneak a hit between stuns
Oh, you are the tank
Theyre the tank
I'm the tank in this case
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
im new , there was no hint to do that
the game told you to do your class quests
so I just carried on
it seems the leveling must have been changed because I out leveled it all quite fast
thats normal in early game
(maybe its always been like that)
job quests appear right below your MSQ tracker
chances are if smth is there u should do it
but do your class quests
ah ok, well seeing as dark has no base - shouldnt really cause any issues i Imagine when I get to that point?
nope
nice, ok - im a wow refugee and playing on ps5 so its tricky to ask much currently (unless I find a good wireless keyboard)
