thx
ok.... neeext crafting question, for basic weaving lvl 1 quest i need crystals, where do i get those?
i can buy grass from guild, but no crystals there
If it is some element I think you get them from killing and quests
maybe mining?
You can get them from gatherers but it is not viable long-term
so mining?
Yes you can get some from mining
so to be self sufficent in leatheworking / tailoring i need mining and what else?
is isari part of doma or just outside it?
You should get some crystals from your "my first needle" quest or however it's called. Also you better up all of your HoL/HoH jobs together or it's gonna be a pain in the ass
Does anyone have a PLD hotbar they'd like to share that works for the rotation? I'm trying to get mine in order but I cant find one that works fluidly.
Any reference for how hotbars are filled by default as you level blm (I'm lvl 52)? I picked this game up again after finishing ARR 4 years ago... I cleared all my hotbars thinking I was going to put a custom rotation in. But all I have now are b/f/t3 and can't remember what defensive and aoe actions I use to use or that were needed.
Looking to level up my alt from 74~80. Is the Bojan Front the place to go?
@last pulsar This is my BLM set-up if it helps.
Yes that helps a ton!
Thank you!
soo
If I get attacked as a gathering class can I only run away?
I’m free trial, what best option to buy now? I heard something like starter edition and latest expansion or complete edition O.o?
what would be the best job to learn the game as if one plans to become a samurai at lvl 50?
Yes but if you are gathering you should use sneak
I learned through dungeon runs
It unlocks at level 8
Hey i need some help
@placid ridge maybe do monk to start with as they are both high dps and light armor?
Complete edition should be good
Honestly there are some good videos that teach you about SAM actions in general and you can piece it together from there
It has both starter + expansions
@glass oxide I don’t need to buy anything else after that right? Cuz people mention something like “base” of the game
Should i be paying attention to the stats gear gives at end game? Ive been looking at droping some exarchic gear for the cryptlurker stuff and even tho its a ilvl increase i lose crit hit and skill speed for, det and tenacity in a lot of cases. Im a Dark Knight aswell.
SAM is pretty simple at 50
bin playing now for about 2 days, when i passed level 50 i stoped getting new spells even if i can see i should have gotten some at 52, 54 and 56. Why wont i get quest to lear the new spells?
Item level and main stat is more important. You look at stats of equal ilvls
IIRC you need to have the expansions
No need to buy anything else
Excuse me
Probably ninja/rogue or another DPS
i have, i got the newest one, that should be enuf right?
Thank you 
No, you need each expansion I think, not just the most recent
They prob haven't gotten to heavensward yet you need to beat the base game first
@languid viper rogue requires you to get a class to lvl 10 and complete the lvl 10 class quest to unlock
Shadowbringers comes with Stormblood
pick marauder or arcanist if you wanna make a rogue
as they start in limsa
which is where rogue is unlocked
Some skills require doing your job quests
I just hit level 10
can i see somewhere how far i got untill i start to be able to get the new spells?
how to use it?
but i'm dragoon
The problem is you're likely still in arr msq and must reach heavensward to unlock the next set of job quests
Change to gatherer outside of a main city @fresh isle
i havent getten any jobb quest or is there ones i need to seek out?
then you'll have to wait until the msq takes you to limsa before you can unlock rogue
will it take long ?
im trying to get the crystal tower quest series done so i can move onto 5.3 and i have "A Performance Of the ages" quest done but the next quest "Labyrinth of the Ancients" is not apperaing does anyone know why?
is there a way to tell how far i have got left?
The game literally tells you thats a prerequisite when you finish the base game job quests
Around level 15
Level 50-60 quests need you to start heavensward
oh okay ty
I just got it
it is lvl 8 skill
Check your msq quest name against the quest lists on console games wiki or something
okey
Yeah, so whenever you change to a gatherer outside of a main city (Limsa, Ul'Dah or Gridania) it will activate automatically
Should be in mor dhona
ive checked all around mor dhona the quest is not there thats why im confused rn
He should be at (x30,y12)
And make sure you haven't picked up the quest already without noticing
Oh, I see your screenshot
hmm
okey i think i found it, i am in the middle of Seventh Astral Era Main Scenario Quests
how do i delete messages that make me look like a clown
yes LMAO
Been there done that
@jolly karma you'll know you're in heavensward if you see the word on your screen in giant text form
Also you enter a new hub city of ishgard
okey so i wount get new jobb quests for spells untill then?
anyone wanna join me for the raid 😳
Nope
dame i will be lvel 60 by then xD
I was consistently like 5-6 levels above req for a lot of the game
should i take the time to level a new job or will that just go backwards? dont know the the level system works
Jobs level faster until they match the current level of your highest job. I personally prefer to get to max with one before moving on, but if you dont like the job you chose, dont stick with it.
what's the point of prune and prune 2? Aren't they just leaf turn except they only work for one gather?
you can stack them ontop of leaf turn
they're also for one attempt
rather for the duration of the node

Can someone briefly explain or link me to a resource that explains how ilvl affects your dmg output and dmg received in an encounter? Like how does being ilvl510 affect you being in an ilvl500 encounter for example
Does anyone know where the Copycat minion is from? is it bunny fates or is it lockboxes because we're getting mixed messages from the internet
Better main attribute and substats on your gear
It's less about actual ilevel and more about stat optimization. As a general rule, higher ilevel = more secondary stat points, which in turn can affect your damage output. However it's not quite that clear cut, as a i510 piece with (for example) +354 Piety, +218 Spell Speed, +306 Direct Hit, and +221 Critical Hit might end up being worse than an i500 piece with +226 Critical Hit, +210 Determination, +302 Piety and +157 Direct Hit for a healer.
Those are entirely made up numbers, but it's basically a matter of knowing where you want to min-max your secondary stats and gearing to that.
Right so as a SAM main I'm looking for direct, critical mostly
If those are your priority stats, then sure. Although iirc SAM has a "SkS to tier or where it's comfy" caveat as well.
Lockbox from what I've seen
Look up stat prio and sks breakpoints in the balance
The Balance discord has a lot of the math done out already, and has recommended BiS for most classes.
!faq balance
thanks, yes there is a sks tier
Higher ilvl gear also has higher main stats (strength, dex, mind, int) which in most scenarios outweighs better substats
There's some scenarios where that's not true ofc like with tank helmets last tier
What happened to tank helmets?
basically the substats on the last tier tome/savage helms were trash
that idealized was better
Oof. Not even yorha or aug neo ish?
part of what made idealized so strong is the 5 meld slots
Idealized was better because it had 5 materia slots
Ah I see
but situations like that are very rare
It was worth the tradeoff too because there weren't huge raid damage scenarios that a couple points in defense would have made the difference over having an extra 300 crit or whatnot
I see
Is handsaint better than 1-2 overmelded aesthete? Never had the patience to pentameld.
usually no, though would have to double check. but generally lightly melded are gonna be better than scrip gear
mostly because you can add more cp with just the assured slots
Nah, overmelded Aesthete is better
Ty!
the best way to level crafters without spending a ton of gil is to gather the stuff yourself, right?
Yes
whats the best way to level after that? should I use levequests or something else?
Where do I get a defragmented tomestone?
Ishgard restoration is one of the better ways as well. Roughly equivalent to leves without the allowance cap.
Exchange 7 blade of lost antiquity
is it possible to have the filter who change your characters in a market in-game?
Which you can get once per week by clearing e12n
No fantasia is only purchasable from the FF14 store
sad
7 blades from e12n, which are weekly or dropped directly from E10s
That’s crazy so you can’t get a weapon for 7 weeks
I wanna do raid this week I’m just gonna buy a weapon it’s gonna take to long
Get emerald weapon as a stop gap
As long as you have Exarchic or Emerald then its fine
what are some things aside of the high end content you can do once all jobs are capped? starting to lose things to do outside just weekly grinds like tomestones and such

Gold saucer, achievements. Mount farming, sightseeing logs, minion collecting
are there any online checklists for some of those things? heard of one for sightseeing
For mounts and minions
When trading in items to the Personnel Officer, how many Company Credits do you earn?
Depends on the level of the item
that
Ok.
most endgame stuff can bring you somewhere around 1400 to 2k
Lower level stuff is usually around 800
dont think i have ever seen it past that though
I just didnt know if it was a set level or not
and if there was like, a chart or something. lol
better gear for better rewards
Could someone share their 5.4 monk hotbar with me? (pref no 12 button mouse)
this is mine, though i haven't touched MNK after the changes so not sure how applicable it still is
Using /gpose and wanting the pose to be like this. It defaults to the original idle pose/animation? Not sure how to correct
Returning after forever, no idea how to play the game or my character. Should I play on a fresh alt or try to read my way back in?
How far in are you?
i have a 70 monk on a stormblood quest called Seeds of Despair, it looks like
Well 5.4 changed monk a fair bit
In gpose try opening the emote list and use change pose
No more worrying abt greased lightning
I'd say to try and continue, but look through an up to date Monk guide first
Roger that thanks guys 
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9FBgY7xBFQE This should help you get back into it a bit
New? Got too many skills? Made the mistake of using a level skip and have no idea what anything does? Just hate reading? Try this guide out!
This guide seeks to teach new Monks how to Monk properly, without getting too deep into optimization. I'll be showing off and explaining some openers but not delving too much deeper beyond that and general...
How do u exit Gpose 😂
Escape
If it becomes too much, you can always take a step back and level another class on the side
Thank you been stuck there for 20 minutes 😂
No reason to rush things ^^
Hm, it's not working. I'll try and find a guide online to see what I might be doing wrong, thanks for helping though 
For e10s giga slash mirrors, is it always just cw or ccw or is it more complicated than that?
!faq job
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.
@leaden ginkgo #kupo-bot-spam
Sorry
Iirc you have to position so that your shadow slash (transpose wolf into your shadow) will hit the outer edge and form a neat box with the marked people
I think
that's basically it
Mizteq has a guide that displays it visually
In the end the shadows, if you look at them like arrows do all end up pointing cw or ccw
Hi, having some trouble with my hud I guess? My wife was using my pc and turned off the gamepad in the settings menu. I got home and turned it back on but now it only half works? My hotbar is set to pc and L2+R2 don't do anything and none of the buttons set off a skill. Start no longer opens up the menu but instead drops my cursor down to the bottom right where I can select stuff from these little red icons
I can move and look around just fine with the sticks
She says she isn't sure what else she might have changed to make it do that*
Hello! I would like to know how many flame stamps I need to complete the My little Chocobo mission?
200
You buy a insurance ticket at your GC counter
For 200 seals
And take that to the porter and he will give you the mount
Is chocobo the only mount in the game?
No
The quest Funnel & Games from the Anata best tribe, does it bug out sometimes? It’s sending me to a location with no burrows and any burrows in the surrounding area don’t trigger the spawn x
There's ALOT more
ty
you need to be running on the ground to trigger the antlions to spawn
Who is stronger red mage or machinist
So just run all around the red area?
pretty much
all classes are good, play what you feel comfortable with

red mage has higher savage performance, but that's not relevant for like 90% of players
From the personal quatermaster at your grand company HQ
I only see the qiartermaster
On the right typically
talk to your grand company quartermaster, it'll be under the materiel section
don't talk to the OIC quartermaster
Got it..thanks dude
Okay so im lvl 34 and completed all my thaumaturhe quests and sylph menagment quest
mirrors, not shadow servant
during vg2
What do i do now in order to become black mage?
there is a job quest that gives you the black mage job stone
if you don't have that quest yet, progress in your msq
You can see where to pick up the next quest in your class quest tracker
Right under the msq tracker
Hmmm i only see the completed quests and quests i currently have.
Gonna check the thaumaturge guild
Upper left corner of the screen
sounds like you need to progress in your msq still

recommended ilvl for non savage eden content
485
oh. havent played for six months, still stucked at 480 market gear
I guess i continue doing train hunts and get the full crystarium items?
you can get 510 gear from Eden normals now
so I'd personally say start aiming for ilevel 500
your 480 crafted is good enough for most things though
A couple tome or dungeon pieces should get you over the line. You just need to be 485 to be allowed to queue the new Eden Normal stuff
between the i500 relic, 510 gear from e9-12n, and some combination of the 485 gear in the new dungeon, i500 is easily doable
Matoya’s relict is 485
I'm thinking bozja then
okay, isee. I'll quickly finish the new MSQ this day and aim for the higher ilvl.
thanks for th eheklp
Well. I became a black mage but everything is still the same
I thought im getting new skill set or smtn
yes because you haven't learned any black mage skills
everything you had as thaumaturge translates to black mage
I see
fair warning btw
black mage is widely regarded as a pretty miserable class to level
you won't feel like a black mage until level 60
Well what choice do I have now
@desert ravine you can also augment neo ishgard gear to 490
between 50 and 60 is when you start really getting your identity as black mage
by which they mean, fire 4
fire 4 is big, but also ley lines and enochian
Oh that too. Like if I unlocked fire 3..am i suppoused to replace the fire 1 with it or keep using fire 1?
mo
no
no
fire 3 is only used to switch from ice back into fire
alkso that
and later you get procs with it too
Proc?
firestarter is l50
fire 3 has a chance to become instant cast and free cost every time you cast fire 1
Oh cool
if you get a proc, then you use it during fire phase for the damage boost
without a proc, you use it during ice phase to swap back to fire
I see.. also are you guys here using some dos rotations and have bots that measure your dps ?
most players who are serious about playing do use a parsing tool
Yeah i see it gives me 2 fires instantly if i switch from.ice using fire 3
Unlike transpose
!faq act
if you ever enter a current-tier savage raid you're almost certainly going to be parsed by someone else
...I could’ve sworn we had a ACT faq 
Idko how hard are raids here. Iv beaten all vet trials in eso and all raids in gw2
Anyways, ACT is the main plug-in people use to measure their DPS
savage raiding is pretty difficult imo
Not gonna measure my dps as im on console but just wondering hows the scene
I've never done an endgame raid in gw2 and never played eso but
ff14 has a very healthy raiding scene
Besides there is still much to do before i get real about raids. I wanna try out so many of these classes
I have like 5 that i really gotta play
imo the savage raids in 14 are comparable to heroic and possibly mythic raids in wow
but the ultimates in ff14 are more difficult or comparable to mythics in wow without a doubt
From what I hear other WoW players, Savage is equal to mid-late Heroic to early Mythic difficulty
Never played wow. So i cant tell. Been in guild wars for years and then gw2 and then eso and now this
the only thing about ff14 compared with those games though
it takes forever to get to endgame raiding on ff14
you have to beat the entire story
which can be over 100 hours
but also ff14's story is very very good
I mean its getting spicy tbh. I dont like questing or stories in mmos and especially the lack of voice acting is offputing to me
But gameplay is getting more interesting by the skill
I have personal goals atm to do this story...get this mage to 80 and then get machinist,red mage, astrologist also
Maybe even dark knight
Anyways thanks for the help.
voice acting gets a bit more frequent as you go
it does remain that basic vaguely-non-important shit isn't, but
Ok I'm really fucking confused as to how I survive Umbra Smash w/o invuln
I'm kitchen sinking it yet I'm still dying
Do I need all 8 players in the darkness unleashed stack
7
that's weird
Cause one person has magic vuln
Cuz I'm taking 400k with ramp and sentinel
6 is fine with mitigation
I said without invuln
Umbra or unleashed
Unleash has to be swapped
Cause magic vuln
ANyone have a list of dungeons which drop dyable loot?
with Rampart sentinel and sheltron
You shouldn't have any vulns going for unleashed
without invuln
you can't take 4 Umbra smashes without invuln
what are the best items to donate to the doman restoration?
is there a way to show fps in game ?
Anything that vendors for a good amount
Is healing and tanking hard in this game?
what part in msq do we need to get up to in order to unlock current raid tier
this is for an alt
5.3
purely subjective question, spend time learning your class and you’ll be fine
it ain’t rocket science
kk ty
i wouldnt say its "hard"
its just knowing when to pop cooldowns for tanking mostly, and dealing damage while staying alive
There are no tank specific boss mechanics
Like facing the boss away from raid in certain moments
cleaves, swaps, adds
Mechanics that only target specific rolea
So basically no matter the role..besides your rotation you are naturally required to know the mechanics. How hard it is for a newbie to get into the raids? Like is the community accepting and willing to teach ?
Not hard..many guides
Just got a MMO mouse but the keys use the numbers
Like 1-12
But I cant use 1-6 because its already been used
Anyone know how to config it? Bit confused on what to switch it to
people will answer your questions if that's what you mean, but if you join a party in the middle of a raid tier that says "prog up to x", you're expected to know at minimum up to the point
don't expect people to hand hold you through things that everyone else at least kinda understands
Dont really understand what that means. Just wondering how hard it is to join a raid if you say you have no experience
There's learning parties
Or that i have just watched videos or read guides
Which you join
^
You're expected to see videos and guides for higher end content
the answer is basically "not that hard, but if you can't find a learning party, make one"
whats a good DPS job thats faster paced then RDM but slower than like ninja? i was thinking dragoon but im not sure
Bard is every active
any melee DPS is faster paced than rdm imo
to articulate been im thinking of a class thats useful for turning my brain off and doing things like roulettes without much thought
but i think once i get more experience all classes are like that
nah i already tried healing, wasnt for me. fun tho
red mage is pretty braindead in dungeons too actually
to be fair. braindead is not universal
Is there a tome gear for 70 or should I just ride it out with msq gear into shb
some people are extra smoothbrain. like me :3
nah i think that one is too boring, maybe i just need to play a more complex class for a while and it will become second nature
@potent lava there is tomegear. Scaevan gear. its in Ala Mhigo
Scaevan in rhalgars/kugane
ohyeah I guess it is in Kugane now
like vinyl tails said
dancer
very braindead
dps is too low for my taste but
if you want braindead, you got it
Dancer has a few priorities to juggle though
is ninja a good dps
MCH has strict rotation
ninja looks sick and I want smth fast since I come from Tera
i'm not really interested in monk tho :x

I’ve been enjoying monk; punching feral animals is the way to go
ok so can anyone explain to me how the gears work after lvl 50 because i didnt really understand from the text they gave me after i finish the msq
You get a special currency after clearing lv50/60/70 content which lets you buy the best gear for those levels
Which will last you 5 levels
where are the venders that sell these gears?
Mor dhona or one of the 3 main cities for lv50 gear
Where is the emerald weapon quest?
The Lochs
have you done ruby and sapphire?
if you're down to buy the MSQ skip thing (Tales of adventure?), are there other reasons to not just do everything on one character?
No not yet
There’s not much point to multiple characters either way
You can unlock and max every job on one character
I'm real particular about my appearances on some jobs vs other jobs. If buying the tales of adventure makes running alts a-ok, i'd do it. But if there are other annoyances in the way, I'd just pick a race/appearance that works on most jobs.
Yeah, i'd definitely want to skip doing the whole story again. I was just wondering if there are other things that make playing an alt annoying, aside from content gated behind MSQ
or if that was the only thing that was a big problem
What are the benefits of having multiple characters?
You get to look like a different race
Raiding with others, playing on other data centres really
Just being able to play with more friends
Is this a thing? I've never seen them die
Oh guess not really with it then if you play solo then
it happens
Because Alphi is trying to aoe heal people, and since you're on the other side his ai puts him in the danger puddle
It can happen
usually if you're standing in stupid since the AI priorities mechanics > player > not dying in most cases
Always stay close to trusts so their ai doesn't put them in stupid spots
alright
On very rare occasions, it can even happen even when you are doing mechanics correctly
Happened to me in lvl 77 dungeon
My dude
I’m in locha I don’t see a emerald weapon
You need to do ruby first
It's a sidequest chain
Its a whole quest line
Where is that at?
Right ive realized that final fantasy is running on my HDD nd not my SSD, can i just transfer the game folder over to SSD or is it more complicated as it always seems to be
Lochs at ala mhigo
to be exact, it's near the second aetherryte in the lochs
Oh ok I see it
are there disadvantages with having a party with the same tank job?
Besides the LB generation nerf and the fact you can't stack certain migration tools, no(ish)
How do I get my combat jobs to 80 fast and not boring? Deep dungeons are taking it's toll on me
take a break
You don't play this game 24/7 that's how you get burnout
Do other stuff
Sidequests
manderville
that's what the daily bonuses are designed for
you can just do dailies every day to level
Ok
no need to hard grind potd/hoh/dungeons
unless you want to
or, you know, buy the level skip
Yeah figured as much. I just figured there were many potions and choosing the right one might matter
that's not exactly true
every class only uses one potion
maybe 2 if you use MP pots for any reason
but potions in any rotation guide are always going to refer to the main stat potion for your class
oooh ok cool, that makes it easy then
i.e. RDM SMN BLM are always going to use HQ grade 4 tincture of intelligence
AST SCH WHM are 90% of the time going to be using HQ grade 4 tincture of mind
unless you know for sure your team is shit and you might need to use an MP pot to supplement people being shit
as a monk i would drink tincture of strength then, huh?
yes
unless you are doing savage raids though, potion doesn't really matter
there's no need to bother with any kind of potion before level 80
oh ok cool, appreciate the info 
@robust crow I think if I used pots we could have actually beaten emerald 
nah one person potting isn't gonna make up 2% worth of HP
True
maybe if the entire raid did
you can, that's what i did
you might have to also copy over the configuration files for your hotbars/macros too
ultimate
just finding nitpicks tho
errr
who the hell is doing ultimates before level 80 right now
lmao
even if it's a level 70 ultimate
I've seen people do ultimates on a level 70 job
the expectation is that you've at least cleared this tier's savage before working on any ultimate
and don't even try to understand some people here
If you're only playing the job for ultimate no need to get it to 80
yes but that's assuming that player has other jobs at 80
or is experienced enough not to need advice on pots
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
never seen one, would believe if someone has a screenshot though
or are you talking about the time when SHB wasn't even out
I'm not doing that, i'm just trying to find a way to level up fast, as Deep dungeons are getting boring and it's how I got a bunch of jobs to 50
I mean welcome to the leveling experiance. its kinda boring the 10th time around
more like 2nd time around
At this point Idk what i'm even trying to level up-
I guess a dps or healer for mentor
How do you dye the level 80 dancer job gear? 🙂
Is there a quest you gotta do to do it?
Ahhh ok 🙂
the base stuff is undyeable
Thank you!
Wish you could set notifications for things you want to run on party finder
Or pin the party finder window
It always closes
I would like to leave it open so I don't miss stuff
No.
nope. tell your friend to do more mini and jumbo cactpot
yessir
yo btw
looks like he dont have the gold saucer challenge log?
do u have to unlock it

You have to do Rising to the Challenge to unlock the challenge log
Is there a way to view who rolled for what while the loot table is still up for all to roll?
you have to wait till its already handed out
why do people reccomend levelling all crafters at once?
so you can share your gear while you level
and to feed off other crafts
like miner gets ore, goldsmith makes the result into something that a blacksmith can use
Thanks, so there's no way to see who hasn't rolled?
You have to comb through chat to see who hasn’t rolled
does a8s not have a mount?
yeah i know there's the gobwalker yes
and im like? doesnt the 8th raid have a mount?
cuz i know kefka does
A8S has the fuastlet minion instead of a mount
For a level 50 BLM, what's the use of Flare?
Alright thanks
How do I become a rogue ? I'm actually in front of Lonwoerd but he's telling me to go away
What level are you?
10
You need to be level 15 and beaten the level 15 class quest
Why I can't see other people FC?
its like a bug or something
sometimes yes, sometimes nope.
Wdym? Like you can't see the people in your fc or you can't see other people's fcs?
I’ve noticed it too. Seems inconsistent on who it bugs out on
actually, the info appears for less than 1 second and then banish.
You can't see fc info while in instances
It's a known bug yet to be patched
Oh it's a big? I always thought it was on purpose lol
Since you're possibly with people on other worlds
Nope not on purpose
Is there a leveling faqs or formula?
Is it just me or is it impossible to clear Ramuh Lv 50 with a random team. Stuck with this quest for few hours but no team did it :/
ramuh is an 8 man encounter
ramuh is an 8 man encounter
unless you're max level you're not supposed to be able to solo it
Sorry I mean random team
ramuh isn't that difficult
I am on it like 6 hours
uhh????
leave that instance lmao it seems like those players are extra shit or something
It's the 4rd team
Are you trying to do the extreme version?
is it extreme or hard?
Why people dont queue for the first 5 Eden's Gate on Savage? Whats so difficult in them that you need to find a group to start?
Never under 50% this sh** 😄
I do this for the first time and there is no future
People just don’t really queue for savage content period
there are numerous reasons why no one is doing old savages in party finder
It requires a lot of coordination and knowledge of the fight
For the most part it’s very unreasonable to learn and clear a savage fight within a single instance timer
the loot from e1-e8s is outdated now, so only e4s or e8s are likely to see any activity since they drop mounts
but even then, e4s and e8s are pretty hard, so not many parties are going to clear it
and furthermore, all the consistent raiders are doing e9-e12s right now anyway since they're new and drop current gear
also yeah nobody uses duty finder for savage
literally nobody
I am doomed
it's party finder or static, those are your options
You don’t need to do the previous savage floors to do the current tier of savage
If that’s what you’re thinking
All statics are clearing the later ones. I didnt even start
They dont accept people without previous clears
pug e9s
e9s is easily puggable
no need for a static to clear that
you honestly wouldn't even need a static to do e12s
just a lot of patience and practice
No way to skip this useless main quest 👀
But all of them kick because of no previous clears and exp
are you trying to join parties that ask for a certain amount of experience?
because if you are trapping a tiles prog party on brambles
I'd kick too
Again, are you having trouble with the Hard mode fight or the extreme?
Because if it’s the extreme you don’t need to do it at all.
It's the Lv 50 main quest I don't think its extreme or something
there's no way you are stuck for 6 hours on hard ramuh
Checked it its normal
I can see that being possible for extreme
Yeah
I am getting killed every time cuz no one using those thunder to unstuck me and that sucks as white mage
No heal = more dead ppl 😂
I just see them running circles when they see thunder 😂
That's not right
@drifting whale do you happen to be playing exceptionally poorly?
because people don't tend to kick from first-tier savage just because of no exp
especially if you're joining fresh partiea
are you dying a lot?
We used to die all, yes, and I was not the first one
it sounds like you aren't parsing, have you looked up your character on fflogs?
I was always doing it while I was clearing the normal ones
if you have several gray parses even on casual content, that could be indicative of doing poor dps
in which case you may want to practice a bit on your class before hitting up savage
Mhmm
the expectation is that you can at least play your class well before joining anything savage
So keep on normals until improve?
Hi, does someone want to play Rathalos (Extreme) ? We only need one healer. Whisper me on discord
well, join another group and keep an eye on your aggro ranking
no need for a parsing tool to do that
if you're dps then you should at minimum be top 6 on the aggro list
I'm a WHM
people are not tolerant of low DPS healers in savage
how many glares do you feel like you cast?
good whms cast glare like 70% of the time
I dont know, I never count them. But yes, i stop the damage for heals and not the opposite
GC missions and duty finder roulettes refresh at the same time right? looking for a roulette timer and cant find :(
are people dying due to lack of heals on your part?
I use my instant heals mostly
well it sounds like you're playing fine, but obviously I have no way of knowing without seeing a parse or partying with you
starting your own party and advertising as fresh prog may be the way to go
You can do the !reset command in #kupo-bot-spam and it will list all of the reset timers

I decided to start using Teamcraft for tracking my gathers over GarlandTools, can I ask what these timers over here mean?
as blm, if im close to full mana and in umbral ice, should i hold off on casting a last blizzard 1 until i get full mana and then just swap and f1 spam?
lvl 25 btw
How about the number in () like in Ashen Alumen?
the slot it spawns in
so when you go to that node it'll be in slot 2
used to be useful back when you had to discover items
Ah, wow that's some precise info that I never thought would be important.
it was important
Oh so there was a system before where the information was unknown?
ShB made it no longer important
hello, am I able to get Blades of Lost Antiquity (from eden promise) if I am on Alisaie's Quest (first quest of 5.4)?
I see, thanks a lot!
going through eden's gate rn and tryin to get to the end
NOO only 1 ....need 7 of those
it really doesn't matter that much right now but I'd say go ahead and just cast the blizzard 1 to be full mana before entering fire phase
it's good to build that habit of being full mana before going into fire
Hey guys my friend is having a bit of a nightmare using a controller to play. She used to switch between her hotbars by pressing R1/R2 but its went and reset she thinks so may have went and put it back to default settings. Anyone know how to get it back?
it's better to always be casting something than to wait for the mana tick
but if you're at 80 there are some players who opt to wait for the mana tick
black mage gameplay significantly changes as you level anyway and you'll get more things to do during ice phase
l2/r2 always selects your active cross bar so it's either l1 or r1 which switches the active set
Should be able to find it under either control settings or hotbar settings
not sure
I’m having the issue with getting to my crossbars when i double tap the wont enable?
Is semicasual more or less hardcore than casual?
Thank you 🙂
more hardcore
there's nothing more casual than "casual"
so it goes c, sc, smc, mc?
semi casual would mean they want to stay somewhat casual but they want all players to play competently
i mean usually it's just casual, midcore, hardcore lol
usually it just refers to how many days/hours a week you raid
midcore is probably anywhere between 4-8 hours a week
What's the bot-call for the PLD rotation?
My main data centre is Moogle, and it kinda seems like at least in terms of FC's, it's pretty quiet.
I've been thinking of switching to Cerberus, problem is that isn't free, and I'm sorta stuck on whether or not it could be worth it.
Might be worth making a new character on Cerb and checking out, see what FC's are recruiting, and checking out the cerb recruitment channel
What reasons are there to rank an FC above 20 other than clout?
Yeah, how do I find out what FC's are recruiting again? I know there's this Discord and Reddit, where Cerberus is mentioned pretty often, but anywhere else?
how the heck do you get up there o.O

👍🏻
i wasted all of my gil and now im broke. how do i make a quick million?
is it worth using my thundercloud procs while in astral fire (at level 28)
Yes
Never let the proc drop
You can hold the proc to let the original thunder do its damage before using the proc
right okay thank you
Complete as much of your challenge log as you can stomach, do zonureskin treasure maps in PF, sell crafting materials bought with tomestones of allegory
good advice, which crafting/ gathering class yields the most gil?
Outside of disabling the effects of other players, is there a way to make the positional circle on enemies more clear? Sometimes I can't tell where the flank is because too much stuff is doing on.
gotcha thanks 🙂
if you don't care for them, treasure maps tend to sell for pretty well, the party-wide ones, though again thats server dependent
ill take a look thanks 🙂
How long is the post-post-HW quest? (At Shadows of the First)
Asking so I know how longer I have MSQs for before the end of the Free Trial
Guys.. what does happen when everyone jump down at Phase 1 at Emerald Weapon? 
Like fall off the edge? You wipe
Post HW is shorter than arr...like total is 40 something
I'd say youre about halfway through
Thank you
Aside from that I have:
Fractal Continuum quest
Mhach quest line
Warring Triad quest line
And finishing off various odds and ends
Is the cash shop down right now or is it just a problem with my bank?
how to craft something as collectible with BLM ?
BSM*
im lvl 80 but i dont remember at all
You craft the item...all items that are made for collectibles are automatically collectibles
Just raise collectiblity like you do with quality
ohhh okay i get it
The collectibles are under their own receipe tab in the special tab
Same place as the ishgard stuff
what's the trick with the lady amadine add at the end of the haukke manor hard?
Kill the mob so her raidwide does less damage
i know you aren't supposed to kill amadine right away
somehow the fight is easier
i dont remember why
Its also a usual tactic to lb the last succubus
especially if u can't pass the dps check
between these two, would it be better to keep the extra CRIT and determination over skill spd and tenacity?
Crypt
Based on Vigilamus' guide for Paladin, when am I supposed to pop my protectives in this rotation without throwing it off completely?
99% of the time yes
I believe if you overmeld the Exarchic then the additional stats will make up for it, especially when the crpyt has tenacity pulling it down
Basically after killing the 2nd add, slow down on damage until like 30-40% when the last add spawns
If you push too hard then the 3rd one spawns and quickly gets eaten
And then the blood rain murders the party!
(That's why the fight's easier if you slow dps - the boss eating the miniboss add makes her blood rain mechanic basically an instant-kill)
oh
so depending on if it has tenacity I can choose to get crypt or overmeld exarch?
and you can augment those right so
probably will be even higher ilv
oh shit augmented is 530
I have been crafting some ishgard items. Where i exchange them for xp?
The minimum required collectiblity the item needs to be accepted
Collectibles that dont meet it are trash and useless
What should I do with items that doesn't meet the minimum requirements?
Thanks for the help
What dps should I be aiming for as a tank? 12-13k?
question, how do you hit an boss from melee range without facing them?
13k seems to high for a tank. essentially its half of what most dps can pull
like 10-12k
maybe 13k if bis now somehow or something
I was just looking at fflogs and it seems the best tanks get around 12.5k
Mostly gnbs which makes sense
They might have savage weapons depending on drops so
Good point
Probably ballpark without savage weapons would be like maybe 1k lower or so
So 10k is a decent ballpark to start
Putting a plot in storage doesn't destroy the plants right? Just double checking before i do it
It freezes the plants

What is a "Mentor of The Balance"?
Someone posted a guide above that says they are a "Tank Mentor of The Balance"
The Balance is a Discord channel which is the FFXIV community's main hub for job and fight guides and sharing theorycrafting stuff.
They have mentors who are highly skilled and knowledgeable players deemed qualified to give advice and write guides about their job.
It's like our equivalent of WoW's icy-veins.com
!faq balance
I uh don't play wow either. FF14 is my first mmo in over a decade. As someone who isn't familiar how impressive is said position?
Means you should listen to their advice.
If it's acknowledged by the main discord why isn't it just another part of the main discord?
they know what they are talking about, and are likely more knowledgeable than most about their job
Is there somewhere free players can go to try and form parties? Friend and I are trying to get into the game and we spent 15 mins asking for a party but it's like no one reads general chat
the balance is about more than twice the size of here
This is more of a social hub
This is ostensibly the discord of the r/FFXIV subreddit though we’re kind of our own distinct community
the balance is more "get your info and ignore this for about 3 months"
The balance is focused on learning and teaching endgame
Oh wow ty^^ I'll go join that discord too
Yeah most people just go there for the resource channels
And to ask more advanced questions
so what'll happen to ishgardian restoration after shb? i haven't gotten to it yet but it looks fun and i'd like to take part, will it still be around just without visual updates?
That's the current assumption, yeah
you'll still be able to turn in items and get exp rewards and skybuilders' scrips
Try the recruitment channels
Since shout isn't available for trial players try say in limsa
Previous years events rewards are in the store
Or novice network
There isn't any Christmas emote as far as I know
This year event (which will end today) rewards you with a mount
Out of curiosity, is there a discord for CNJ/WHM or healing classes?
where is it?
thank youuuuuu
@faint flare thank you so much!!
download speed is under 2 mb for some reason?
Some files just download a bit slower for whatever reason, you can try a VPN if you think that’ll help
idk friend downloaded it yesterday with 65 mb entire way
When does the free trial end other then X amount of days? I heard lv60
dunno why its immensely slower
what are the main stats for MCH?
Dexterity
Thx
It doesn't end but you get capped at level 60
Ty
It ends right before the start of Stormblood which is the second expansion
You can continue playing even after reaching level 60
There's also no X amount of days limit
Oh they meant the story

Is it possible to run two instances of the game at once, using separate characters?
If you mean with the same account, no.
ah, that's unfortunate
Not really, from my observation.
but could I make a second trial account and run that while running my main one?
Yep
Lovely. How would I go about doing that? I've tried opening the launcher again while playing but it doesn't let me
Oh... shame I mean I don't have anything against them but its just annoying to see an ad everytime i open up pf
Right click add to blacklist
Thats pf for you. Advertisement central
I mean yeah but they keep popping and popping and popping and popping
@spring thorn from my rudimentary googling, you’ll need programs that simulate another Windows like boot camp or Windower
we are perpetually trapped in a neverending spiral of +18 pf ads
theres also the feet pics person
I don’t play on PC so I can’t give any definitive info. #technology-discussion will probably have better knowledge than me
(Unless someone here knows how to run multiple instances of the game at once)
thank you!
it is you just open the client again and launch the game again but don't log in to the same character
quick proof
it gets kinda fucky though so i don't recommend trying it
If you get blacklisted by someone & you send them a friend request, what happens?
Can said person tell they were blacklisted somehow?
no a person won't know they're blacklisted
regardless of whether im playing the game or not?
Its real time
regardless of whether im playing the game or not?
Yes
if i start the starlight event quest, do i have to finish before 7 AM tomorrow?
or do i just need to have gotten the quest
and i can finish it anytime
Finish it
the quest will be abandone automatically tomorrow?
The npcs all vanish after the event ends
No it will sit around you'll have to abandon it yourself
wait the quest reward i got was magicked prism
i thought you were supposed to get a mount?
Is it recommended you unlock all the levemetes?
oh i thought it was rng
Is the level of the levelquest tied to the quest hub?
like i have to keeep abandoning the quest
until i get the snowman
in the star gift box
Unless you plan to level up crafters or gatherers then you don’t need to unlock them
No finish the quest chain
For the base game there’s hubs at the various small towns in the zones
The Christmas event is a 6 quest chain
Each one having different levels
Rewards are set
Hi guys, im new here, im currently levelling an archer in Gridania, but I want to become a rogue (im level 16) the airship to limsa isn't opened yet though, how do i open it?
Do story
Story
ok cos im up to level 11 story quests, just thought it'd open up earlier is all , np ty 🙂
If something is locked, 99% of the timr the answer is do story
It opens at lv15 story
oh ok, thanks!
oh how do i tell if a helmet is going to take my body armor off?
i find that quite weird ;/
Helms will never remove body armor, but certain body armors also cover a head piece.
at the bottom right of my screen (where the items/armor uhh.. dots are? xD) what does it mean when your green armor dots show up at white?
All 3 healers have same amount of dps? I'm ast and I'm learning how to heal and dps at the same time. But I have 2 friends, white mage and scholar, and they tell me those Jobs aren't meant to do dps. Just heal.
Likewise there are a few legs which also count as foot armor.
They could use repairing
oh i see yeah body armor is taking the helm slot
All healers are expected to do some amount of dps.
Their personal dps varies but they should dos
WHM in particular is notorious for being "green dps" rather than healers.
Your friend is stupid
