drowsy stream
#

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

fresh isle
#

If it is some element I think you get them from killing and quests

drowsy stream
#

maybe mining?

glass oxide
#

You can get them from gatherers but it is not viable long-term

drowsy stream
#

so mining?

glass oxide
#

Yes you can get some from mining

drowsy stream
#

so to be self sufficent in leatheworking / tailoring i need mining and what else?

glass oxide
#

The gathering log have where to find them and at what level

#

Botanist

drowsy stream
#

ahh

#

botanist

#

i see

jade lava
#

is isari part of doma or just outside it?

raw granite
twilit arch
#

isari is in the ruby sea

#

its near the zone line to yanxia

dreamy warren
#

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.

last pulsar
#

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?

open ember
#

if dps yes

#

if tank/healer you can buy dunegon runs maybe faster for those

dreamy warren
last pulsar
#

Thank you!

fresh isle
#

soo
If I get attacked as a gathering class can I only run away?

twin lantern
#

I’m free trial, what best option to buy now? I heard something like starter edition and latest expansion or complete edition O.o?

drowsy stream
#

what would be the best job to learn the game as if one plans to become a samurai at lvl 50?

glass oxide
placid ridge
glass oxide
#

It unlocks at level 8

jolly karma
#

Hey i need some help

drowsy stream
#

@placid ridge maybe do monk to start with as they are both high dps and light armor?

placid ridge
#

Honestly there are some good videos that teach you about SAM actions in general and you can piece it together from there

glass oxide
#

It has both starter + expansions

twin lantern
#

@glass oxide I don’t need to buy anything else after that right? Cuz people mention something like “base” of the game

empty pecan
#

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.

placid ridge
#

SAM is pretty simple at 50

jolly karma
#

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?

I saw you could make a ninja class but

#

I don't have rogue in character creation

twin lantern
#

Thank you love2

dreamy warren
empty pecan
#

They prob haven't gotten to heavensward yet you need to beat the base game first

oak ice
#

No

#

Base game plus latest expansion

twilit arch
#

@languid viper rogue requires you to get a class to lvl 10 and complete the lvl 10 class quest to unlock

oak ice
#

Shadowbringers comes with Stormblood

twilit arch
#

pick marauder or arcanist if you wanna make a rogue

#

as they start in limsa

#

which is where rogue is unlocked

glass oxide
#

Some skills require doing your job quests

languid viper
#

I just hit level 10

jolly karma
#

can i see somewhere how far i got untill i start to be able to get the new spells?

fresh isle
languid viper
#

but i'm dragoon

little swift
oak ice
#

Change to gatherer outside of a main city @fresh isle

jolly karma
twilit arch
#

then you'll have to wait until the msq takes you to limsa before you can unlock rogue

languid viper
#

will it take long ?

icy ether
#

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?

jolly karma
little swift
#

The game literally tells you thats a prerequisite when you finish the base game job quests

dreamy warren
glass oxide
languid viper
#

oh okay ty

fresh isle
little swift
#

Check your msq quest name against the quest lists on console games wiki or something

oak ice
#

Yeah, so whenever you change to a gatherer outside of a main city (Limsa, Ul'Dah or Gridania) it will activate automatically

icy ether
robust notch
#

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

jolly karma
icy ether
#

how do i delete messages that make me look like a clown

robust notch
#

Did you already pick it up?

icy ether
#

yes LMAO

robust notch
#

Been there done that

little swift
#

@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

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.

worthy jewel
#

what's the point of prune and prune 2? Aren't they just leaf turn except they only work for one gather?

jolly karma
#

okey

#

ty

twilit arch
#

you can stack them ontop of leaf turn

#

they're also for one attempt

#

rather for the duration of the node

worthy jewel

ah, for when you absolutely positively need to hit 0 gp

placid ridge
#

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

dark ravine
#

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

gritty oracle
#

Better main attribute and substats on your gear

open coral
#

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.

placid ridge
#

Right so as a SAM main I'm looking for direct, critical mostly

open coral
#

If those are your priority stats, then sure. Although iirc SAM has a "SkS to tier or where it's comfy" caveat as well.

gritty oracle
#

Look up stat prio and sks breakpoints in the balance

open coral
#

The Balance discord has a lot of the math done out already, and has recommended BiS for most classes.

#

!faq balance

zinc orbitBOT
placid ridge
#

thanks, yes there is a sks tier

muted sierra
#

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

gritty oracle
#

What happened to tank helmets?

twilit arch
#

basically the substats on the last tier tome/savage helms were trash

#

that idealized was better

gritty oracle
#

Oof. Not even yorha or aug neo ish?

twilit arch
#

part of what made idealized so strong is the 5 meld slots

muted sierra
#

Idealized was better because it had 5 materia slots

gritty oracle
#

Ah I see

twilit arch
#

but situations like that are very rare

little swift
#

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

gritty oracle
#

I see

#

Is handsaint better than 1-2 overmelded aesthete? Never had the patience to pentameld.

twilit arch
#

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

fallen niche
#

Nah, overmelded Aesthete is better

gritty oracle
#

Ty!

modest igloo
#

the best way to level crafters without spending a ton of gil is to gather the stuff yourself, right?

fallen niche
#

Yes

modest igloo
#

whats the best way to level after that? should I use levequests or something else?

tulip skiff
#

Where do I get a defragmented tomestone?

gloomy ice
#

Ishgard restoration is one of the better ways as well. Roughly equivalent to leves without the allowance cap.

glass oxide
wintry crescent
#

is it possible to have the filter who change your characters in a market in-game?

glass oxide
#

Which you can get once per week by clearing e12n

#

No fantasia is only purchasable from the FF14 store

wintry crescent
#

sad

faint flare
tulip skiff
#

That’s crazy so you can’t get a weapon for 7 weeks

faint flare
#

Just clear e10s

#

Then you can get it in 3

tulip skiff
#

I wanna do raid this week I’m just gonna buy a weapon it’s gonna take to long

faint flare
#

Get emerald weapon as a stop gap

#

As long as you have Exarchic or Emerald then its fine

onyx kiln
#

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

When trading in items to the Personnel Officer, how many Company Credits do you earn?

faint flare
#

Depends on the level of the item

onyx kiln
#

that

faint flare
#

Higher levelled stuff gets you more

#

Usually its around 1k+

dreamy warren
#

Ok.

onyx kiln
#

most endgame stuff can bring you somewhere around 1400 to 2k

faint flare
#

Lower level stuff is usually around 800

onyx kiln
#

dont think i have ever seen it past that though

dreamy warren
#

I just didnt know if it was a set level or not

#

and if there was like, a chart or something. lol

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?

i have a 70 monk on a stormblood quest called Seeds of Despair, it looks like

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=9FBgY7xBFQE This should help you get back into it a bit

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...

!faq job

How do I unlock my 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.

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?

south roost
#

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

How do I buy this chocobo licence..where?

From the personal quatermaster at your grand company HQ

leaden ginkgo

I only see the qiartermaster

faint flare

On the right typically

twilit arch

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

crimson wind
#

during vg2

leaden ginkgo
#

What do i do now in order to become black mage?

robust crow
#

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

gritty oracle
#

You can see where to pick up the next quest in your class quest tracker

#

Right under the msq tracker

leaden ginkgo
#

Hmmm i only see the completed quests and quests i currently have.

#

Gonna check the thaumaturge guild

oak ice

sounds like you need to progress in your msq still

desert ravine
#

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?

robust crow
#

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

sleek roost
#

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

robust crow
#

between the i500 relic, 510 gear from e9-12n, and some combination of the 485 gear in the new dungeon, i500 is easily doable

obsidian patio
#

Matoya’s relict is 485

robust crow
#

I'm thinking bozja then

desert ravine
#

okay, isee. I'll quickly finish the new MSQ this day and aim for the higher ilvl.

#

thanks for th eheklp

leaden ginkgo
#

Well. I became a black mage but everything is still the same

#

I thought im getting new skill set or smtn

robust crow
#

yes because you haven't learned any black mage skills

#

everything you had as thaumaturge translates to black mage

leaden ginkgo
#

I see

robust crow
#

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

leaden ginkgo
#

Well what choice do I have now

crystal bluff
#

@desert ravine you can also augment neo ishgard gear to 490

robust crow
#

between 50 and 60 is when you start really getting your identity as black mage

agile laurel
#

by which they mean, fire 4

robust crow
#

fire 4 is big, but also ley lines and enochian

leaden ginkgo
#

Oh that too. Like if I unlocked fire 3..am i suppoused to replace the fire 1 with it or keep using fire 1?

robust crow
#

mo

agile laurel
#

no

robust crow
#

no

agile laurel
#

fire 3 is too high mp cost

#

not worth it unless proc

robust crow
#

fire 3 is only used to switch from ice back into fire

agile laurel
#

alkso that

robust crow
#

and later you get procs with it too

leaden ginkgo
#

Proc?

agile laurel
#

firestarter is l50

obsidian patio
#

It’s like 44 or so

#

!trait firestarter

robust crow
#

fire 3 has a chance to become instant cast and free cost every time you cast fire 1

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Firestarter** : lvl 42 THM BLM

Grants a 40% chance that after casting Fire, your next Fire III will require no MP and have no cast time.
Duration: 18s

leaden ginkgo
#

Oh cool

robust crow
#

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

leaden ginkgo
#

I see.. also are you guys here using some dos rotations and have bots that measure your dps ?

robust crow
#

most players who are serious about playing do use a parsing tool

leaden ginkgo
#

Yeah i see it gives me 2 fires instantly if i switch from.ice using fire 3

Unlike transpose

robust crow
#

if you ever enter a current-tier savage raid you're almost certainly going to be parsed by someone else

obsidian patio
#

...I could’ve sworn we had a ACT faq mooglethink

leaden ginkgo
#

Idko how hard are raids here. Iv beaten all vet trials in eso and all raids in gw2

obsidian patio
#

Anyways, ACT is the main plug-in people use to measure their DPS

robust crow
#

savage raiding is pretty difficult imo

leaden ginkgo
#

Not gonna measure my dps as im on console but just wondering hows the scene

robust crow
#

I've never done an endgame raid in gw2 and never played eso but

#

ff14 has a very healthy raiding scene

leaden ginkgo
#

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

robust crow
#

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

obsidian patio
#

From what I hear other WoW players, Savage is equal to mid-late Heroic to early Mythic difficulty

leaden ginkgo
#

Never played wow. So i cant tell. Been in guild wars for years and then gw2 and then eso and now this

robust crow
#

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

leaden ginkgo
#

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.

agile laurel
#

voice acting gets a bit more frequent as you go

#

it does remain that basic vaguely-non-important shit isn't, but

that's weird

Cause one person has magic vuln

Cuz I'm taking 400k with ramp and sentinel

crimson wind

I said without invuln

faint flare

Umbra or unleashed

crimson wind
#

Both

#

I have 2 slash vulns

faint flare

Unleash has to be swapped

crimson wind

from Umbra

#

yeah ik

faint flare
#

Cause magic vuln

crimson wind
#

I know

#

But I'm taking 400k from unleashed

#

with 7 people

celest fern
#

ANyone have a list of dungeons which drop dyable loot?

crimson wind
#

with Rampart sentinel and sheltron

faint flare
#

You shouldn't have any vulns going for unleashed

crimson wind
#

without invuln

crimson wind
#

you can't take 4 Umbra smashes without invuln

faint flare
#

You can

#

You NEED healing inbetween

And like every cooldown

this is for an alt

faint flare
#

5.3

leaden ginkgo
#

it ain’t rocket science

#

kk ty

crystal bluff
#

i wouldnt say its "hard"
its just knowing when to pop cooldowns for tanking mostly, and dealing damage while staying alive

leaden ginkgo
#

There are no tank specific boss mechanics

#

Like facing the boss away from raid in certain moments

agile laurel
#

well, yes

#

frequently

faint flare
#

Yes

#

Cleaves

#

Tank swaps

agile laurel
#

cleaves, swaps, adds

faint flare
#

Mechanics that only target specific rolea

leaden ginkgo
#

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 ?

faint flare
#

Not hard..many guides

weak escarp
#

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

hasty musk
#

don't expect people to hand hold you through things that everyone else at least kinda understands

leaden ginkgo
#

Dont really understand what that means. Just wondering how hard it is to join a raid if you say you have no experience

faint flare
#

There's learning parties

leaden ginkgo
#

Or that i have just watched videos or read guides

faint flare
#

Which you join

hasty musk
#

^

faint flare
#

You're expected to see videos and guides for higher end content

hasty musk
#

the answer is basically "not that hard, but if you can't find a learning party, make one"

leaden ginkgo

Im far away from all that anyways

whats a good DPS job thats faster paced then RDM but slower than like ninja? i was thinking dragoon but im not sure

#

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

robust crow

ninja and monk are very fast

play white mage

#

nah i already tried healing, wasnt for me. fun tho

robust crow
#

red mage is pretty braindead in dungeons too actually

marble drift
#

to be fair. braindead is not universal

potent lava
#

Is there a tome gear for 70 or should I just ride it out with msq gear into shb

marble drift
#

some people are extra smoothbrain. like me :3

modest igloo
#

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

marble drift
#

@potent lava there is tomegear. Scaevan gear. its in Ala Mhigo

marble drift
#

ohyeah I guess it is in Kugane now

robust crow
#

like vinyl tails said

#

dancer

#

very braindead

#

dps is too low for my taste but

#

if you want braindead, you got it

warped nest
#

Dancer has a few priorities to juggle though

languid viper
#

is ninja a good dps

warped nest
#

MCH has strict rotation

robust crow
#

all dps are good

#

ninja is popular

warped nest
#

Pick the one you think is cool

#

None of them is "we don't want you in our party"

languid viper
#

ninja looks sick and I want smth fast since I come from Tera

warped nest
#

Monk is the fastest

#

Ninja is close

languid viper
#

i'm not really interested in monk tho :x

modest igloo
#

ninja has been super fun for me

#

activate your gauge and you go ZOOOOOOOM

crimson wind
#

Ninja is only really active for 15 seconds

#

Then 123 for 45 seconds

I’ve been enjoying monk; punching feral animals is the way to go

lucid kiln
#

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

faint flare
#

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

lucid kiln
#

where are the venders that sell these gears?

faint flare
#

Mor dhona or one of the 3 main cities for lv50 gear

tulip skiff
#

Where is the emerald weapon quest?

obsidian patio
#

The Lochs

crystal bluff
#

have you done ruby and sapphire?

static hemlock
#

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?

tulip skiff
#

No not yet

obsidian patio
#

There’s not much point to multiple characters either way

#

You can unlock and max every job on one character

static hemlock
#

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.

faint flare
#

You dont need to buy it

#

Just saves you redoing the whole story again

static hemlock
#

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

tulip skiff
#

What are the benefits of having multiple characters?

static hemlock
#

You get to look like a different race

faint flare
#

Raiding with others, playing on other data centres really

weak escarp
#

Just being able to play with more friends

tropic frigate
tulip skiff
#

Oh guess not really with it then if you play solo then

slate arrow
#

it happens

faint flare
#

Because Alphi is trying to aoe heal people, and since you're on the other side his ai puts him in the danger puddle

warped nest
#

It can happen

slate arrow
#

usually if you're standing in stupid since the AI priorities mechanics > player > not dying in most cases

faint flare
#

Always stay close to trusts so their ai doesn't put them in stupid spots

tropic frigate
#

alright

warped nest
#

On very rare occasions, it can even happen even when you are doing mechanics correctly

#

Happened to me in lvl 77 dungeon

tropic frigate
slate arrow
#

mechanics > player > not dying

#

in this case, they're prioritising the mechanic

tulip skiff
#

I’m in locha I don’t see a emerald weapon

faint flare
#

You need to do ruby first

slate arrow
#

It's a sidequest chain

faint flare
#

Its a whole quest line

tulip skiff
#

Where is that at?

lilac dock
#

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

faint flare
#

Lochs at ala mhigo

slate arrow
#

to be exact, it's near the second aetherryte in the lochs

tulip skiff
#

Oh ok I see it

thorny knoll
#

are there disadvantages with having a party with the same tank job?

slate arrow
#

Besides the LB generation nerf and the fact you can't stack certain migration tools, no(ish)

robust sail
#

How do I get my combat jobs to 80 fast and not boring? Deep dungeons are taking it's toll on me

slate arrow
#

take a break

#

You don't play this game 24/7 that's how you get burnout

#

Do other stuff

#

Sidequests

lilac dock
#

manderville

robust crow
#

that's what the daily bonuses are designed for

#

you can just do dailies every day to level

robust sail
#

Ok

robust crow
#

no need to hard grind potd/hoh/dungeons

#

unless you want to

#

or, you know, buy the level skip

static hemlock
#

In someone's rotation guide, there is this icon;

robust crow
#

potion

#

that's a potion

static hemlock
#

Yeah figured as much. I just figured there were many potions and choosing the right one might matter

robust crow
#

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

static hemlock
#

oooh ok cool, that makes it easy then

robust crow
#

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

static hemlock
#

as a monk i would drink tincture of strength then, huh?

robust crow
#

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

static hemlock
#

oh ok cool, appreciate the info angrycatto

crystal bluff
#

@robust crow I think if I used pots we could have actually beaten emerald kannapersona3

robust crow
#

nah one person potting isn't gonna make up 2% worth of HP

crystal bluff
#

True

robust crow
#

maybe if the entire raid did

sage plaza
crimson wind
#

just finding nitpicks tho

robust crow
#

errr

#

who the hell is doing ultimates before level 80 right now

#

lmao

#

even if it's a level 70 ultimate

crimson wind
#

I've seen people do ultimates on a level 70 job

robust crow
#

the expectation is that you've at least cleared this tier's savage before working on any ultimate

marble drift
#

and don't even try to understand some people here

crimson wind
#

If you're only playing the job for ultimate no need to get it to 80

robust crow
#

yes but that's assuming that player has other jobs at 80

#

or is experienced enough not to need advice on pots

crimson wind
#

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

patent citrus
#

never seen one, would believe if someone has a screenshot though

#

or are you talking about the time when SHB wasn't even out

robust sail
marble drift
#

I mean welcome to the leveling experiance. its kinda boring the 10th time around

crystal bluff
#

more like 2nd time around

robust sail
#

At this point Idk what i'm even trying to level up-

#

I guess a dps or healer for mentor

leaden ginkgo
#

How do you dye the level 80 dancer job gear? 🙂

#

Is there a quest you gotta do to do it?

marble drift
#

you need to get the "Idealized" stuff

#

from Memoria Miseria Extreme

#

a trial.

leaden ginkgo
#

Ahhh ok 🙂

marble drift
#

the base stuff is undyeable

leaden ginkgo
#

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

cold crescent
#

is it possible to trade off MGP items

#

from the gold saucer

marble drift
#

No.

cold crescent
#

friend could use some

#

cant gift or anything?

marble drift
#

nope. tell your friend to do more mini and jumbo cactpot

cold crescent
#

yessir

#

yo btw

#

#

raven sage

You have to do Rising to the Challenge to unlock the challenge log

fringe vortex
#

Is there a way to view who rolled for what while the loot table is still up for all to roll?

marble drift
#

you have to wait till its already handed out

jade lava
#

why do people reccomend levelling all crafters at once?

fringe vortex
#

so you can share your gear while you level

marble drift
#

because alot of crafters use other crafted things to level

#

and yes, saves on gear

fringe vortex
#

and to feed off other crafts

#

like miner gets ore, goldsmith makes the result into something that a blacksmith can use

fringe vortex
obsidian patio
#

You have to comb through chat to see who hasn’t rolled

open ember
#

does a8s not have a mount?

marble drift
#

Im honestly not sure.

#

Theres the add from A12.

#

and the gobwalker. which is a4?

open ember
#

yeah i know there's the gobwalker yes

#

and im like? doesnt the 8th raid have a mount?

#

cuz i know kefka does

obsidian patio
#

A8S has the fuastlet minion instead of a mount

fast cargo
#

For a level 50 BLM, what's the use of Flare?

obsidian patio

You use it at the end of your AoE rotation for the fire cycle

Alright thanks

languid viper
#

How do I become a rogue ? I'm actually in front of Lonwoerd but he's telling me to go away

robust sail
#

What level are you?

languid viper
#

10

obsidian patio
#

Complete your level 10 class quest

#

That lets you unlock other classes

robust sail
#

You need to be level 15 and beaten the level 15 class quest

languid viper
#

oh okay

#

tyvm

celest jolt
#

Why I can't see other people FC?

#

its like a bug or something

#

sometimes yes, sometimes nope.

robust sail
#

Wdym? Like you can't see the people in your fc or you can't see other people's fcs?

celest jolt
#

This person its on a FC

#

but appears like nope.

#

same with everyone else.

obsidian patio
#

I’ve noticed it too. Seems inconsistent on who it bugs out on

celest jolt
#

actually, the info appears for less than 1 second and then banish.

crimson crystal
#

You can't see fc info while in instances

open ember
#

It's a known bug yet to be patched

crimson crystal
#

Oh it's a big? I always thought it was on purpose lol

#

Since you're possibly with people on other worlds

open ember
#

Nope not on purpose

robust sail
#

Is there a leveling faqs or formula?

nimble charm
#

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 :/

robust crow
#

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

nimble charm
#

Sorry I mean random team

robust crow
#

ramuh isn't that difficult

nimble charm
#

I am on it like 6 hours

robust crow
#

uhh????

#

leave that instance lmao it seems like those players are extra shit or something

nimble charm
#

It's the 4rd team

obsidian patio
#

Are you trying to do the extreme version?

analog gate
#

is it extreme or hard?

robust crow
#

are you doing extreme or something

#

story doesn't require you to do extreme

drifting whale
#

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?

nimble charm
#

Never under 50% this sh** 😄

drifting whale
#

I do this for the first time and there is no future

obsidian patio
#

People just don’t really queue for savage content period

robust crow
obsidian patio
#

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

robust crow
#

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

drifting whale
#

I am doomed

robust crow
#

it's party finder or static, those are your options

obsidian patio
#

You don’t need to do the previous savage floors to do the current tier of savage

#

If that’s what you’re thinking

drifting whale
#

All statics are clearing the later ones. I didnt even start

#

They dont accept people without previous clears

robust crow
#

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

drifting whale
#

Thats the easy part

#

The hard part is finding people to do it

robust crow
#

???

#

duty finder is filled with e9s parties

nimble charm
#

No way to skip this useless main quest 👀

drifting whale
#

But all of them kick because of no previous clears and exp

robust crow
#

?????

#

join a fresh prog

#

or make one

drifting whale
#

I am on this all day 😄

#

I'll start my own

robust crow
#

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

obsidian patio
#

Because if it’s the extreme you don’t need to do it at all.

nimble charm
robust crow
#

there's no way you are stuck for 6 hours on hard ramuh

nimble charm
#

Checked it its normal

robust crow
#

I can see that being possible for extreme

robust sail
#

Yeah

nimble charm
#

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 😂

obsidian patio
#

I recommend standing right on the boss then

#

One of his aoes will free you

nimble charm
#

I just see them running circles when they see thunder 😂

robust sail
#

That's not right

robust crow
#

@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

drifting whale
#

I cant know

#

Probably, i dont know

robust crow
#

are you dying a lot?

drifting whale
#

We used to die all, yes, and I was not the first one

robust crow
#

it sounds like you aren't parsing, have you looked up your character on fflogs?

drifting whale
#

I was always doing it while I was clearing the normal ones

robust crow
#

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

drifting whale
#

Mhmm

robust crow
#

the expectation is that you can at least play your class well before joining anything savage

drifting whale
#

So keep on normals until improve?

dense saffron
#

Hi, does someone want to play Rathalos (Extreme) ? We only need one healer. Whisper me on discord

robust crow
#

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

drifting whale
#

I'm a WHM

obsidian patio
#

Aggro ranking is only good in relatives, and can still not be accurate

#

Like ^^

robust crow
#

if you're a whm

#

are you doing dps at all?

drifting whale
#

Like 8% dps

#

on the meter

robust crow
#

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

drifting whale
#

I dont know, I never count them. But yes, i stop the damage for heals and not the opposite

worthy jewel
#

GC missions and duty finder roulettes refresh at the same time right? looking for a roulette timer and cant find :(

robust crow
#

are people dying due to lack of heals on your part?

drifting whale
#

I use my instant heals mostly

robust crow
#

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

fast talon
#

I decided to start using Teamcraft for tracking my gathers over GarlandTools, can I ask what these timers over here mean?

slate arrow
#

blue = active

#

white = time until node spawn

jade lava
#

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

fast talon
slate arrow
#

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

fast talon
#

Ah, wow that's some precise info that I never thought would be important.

slate arrow
#

it was important

fast talon
#

Oh so there was a system before where the information was unknown?

slate arrow
#

ShB made it no longer important

limber walrus
#

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)?

fast talon

I see, thanks a lot!

limber walrus
#

going through eden's gate rn and tryin to get to the end

slate arrow
#

yes, from eden's promise: eternity normal

#

aka e12

#

only one per week though

limber walrus
#

NOO only 1 ....need 7 of those

robust crow
#

it's good to build that habit of being full mana before going into fire

leaden ginkgo
#

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?

robust crow
#

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

slate arrow
#

Should be able to find it under either control settings or hotbar settings

#

not sure

leaden ginkgo
#

I’m having the issue with getting to my crossbars when i double tap the wont enable?

thorny knoll
#

Is semicasual more or less hardcore than casual?

robust crow
#

there's nothing more casual than "casual"

thorny knoll
#

so it goes c, sc, smc, mc?

robust crow
#

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

dreamy warren
#

What's the bot-call for the PLD rotation?

polar falcon
#

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.

dreamy warren
#

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

violet meteor
#

What reasons are there to rank an FC above 20 other than clout?

polar falcon
#

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?

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

how to craft something as collectible with BLM ?

#

faint flare
#

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

faint flare
#

The collectibles are under their own receipe tab in the special tab

#

Same place as the ishgard stuff

manic flare
#

what's the trick with the lady amadine add at the end of the haukke manor hard?

faint flare
#

She absords adds and doea damage based on their remaining hp

#

So kill the adds

little swift
#

Kill the mob so her raidwide does less damage

manic flare
#

i know you aren't supposed to kill amadine right away

#

somehow the fight is easier

#

i dont remember why

little swift
#

Its also a usual tactic to lb the last succubus

manic flare
#

especially if u can't pass the dps check

limber walrus
#

between these two, would it be better to keep the extra CRIT and determination over skill spd and tenacity?

faint flare
#

Crypt

dreamy warren
#

Based on Vigilamus' guide for Paladin, when am I supposed to pop my protectives in this rotation without throwing it off completely?

faint flare
#

When you need them

#

You have tons of options to weave them in

limber walrus
#

oh ok

#

so the item level and str is better than the crit and det?

faint flare
#

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

obsidian patio
#

If you push too hard then the 3rd one spawns and quickly gets eaten

open coral
#

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)

limber walrus
#

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

It's says 50 collectability what that means ?

faint flare
#

The minimum required collectiblity the item needs to be accepted

#

Collectibles that dont meet it are trash and useless

ocean tartan
#

What should I do with items that doesn't meet the minimum requirements?

faint flare
#

Toss them

#

They have no use

Thanks for the help

What dps should I be aiming for as a tank? 12-13k?

outer plank
#

question, how do you hit an boss from melee range without facing them?

outer plank
#

like 10-12k

#

maybe 13k if bis now somehow or something

sour ruin
#

I was just looking at fflogs and it seems the best tanks get around 12.5k

#

Mostly gnbs which makes sense

faint flare
#

They might have savage weapons depending on drops so

sour ruin
#

Good point

faint flare
#

Probably ballpark without savage weapons would be like maybe 1k lower or so

#

So 10k is a decent ballpark to start

woven night
#

Putting a plot in storage doesn't destroy the plants right? Just double checking before i do it

faint flare
#

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"

jade quartz
#

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.

#

!faq balance

zinc orbitBOT
south roost
#

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?

jade quartz
#

Means you should listen to their advice.

south roost
marble dome
#

they know what they are talking about, and are likely more knowledgeable than most about their job

jade quartz
#

The balance is bigger than this discord

#

Haha

steel roost
#

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

marble dome
#

the balance is about more than twice the size of here

jade quartz
#

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

marble dome
#

the balance is more "get your info and ignore this for about 3 months"

jade quartz
#

The balance is focused on learning and teaching endgame

south roost
#

Oh wow ty^^ I'll go join that discord too

jade quartz
#

Yeah most people just go there for the resource channels

#

And to ask more advanced questions

final steeple
#

where can i get the Christmas stuff?

#

like emotes

jade lava
#

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?

jade quartz
#

That's the current assumption, yeah

#

you'll still be able to turn in items and get exp rewards and skybuilders' scrips

glass oxide
#

Since shout isn't available for trial players try say in limsa

glass oxide
faint flare
#

Or novice network

glass oxide
#

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?

download speed is under 2 mb for some reason?

obsidian patio
#

Some files just download a bit slower for whatever reason, you can try a VPN if you think that’ll help

stray oasis
#

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

stray oasis

Are +18 partyfinders reportable and punishable ?

#

Asking for a friend

spring thorn
#

Is it possible to run two instances of the game at once, using separate characters?

obsidian patio
#

If you mean with the same account, no.

spring thorn
#

ah, that's unfortunate

obsidian patio
spring thorn
#

but could I make a second trial account and run that while running my main one?

obsidian patio
#

Yep

spring thorn
#

Lovely. How would I go about doing that? I've tried opening the launcher again while playing but it doesn't let me

lone zephyr
steep heron
#

Right click add to blacklist

faint flare
#

Thats pf for you. Advertisement central

lone zephyr
#

I mean yeah but they keep popping and popping and popping and popping

obsidian patio
#

@spring thorn from my rudimentary googling, you’ll need programs that simulate another Windows like boot camp or Windower

lone zephyr
#

we are perpetually trapped in a neverending spiral of +18 pf ads

marble dome
#

theres also the feet pics person

obsidian patio
#

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)

spring thorn
#

thank you!

little swift
#

it gets kinda fucky though so i don't recommend trying it

leaden ginkgo
#

If you get blacklisted by someone & you send them a friend request, what happens?

#

Can said person tell they were blacklisted somehow?

little swift
#

no a person won't know they're blacklisted

leaden ginkgo
#

regardless of whether im playing the game or not?

faint flare
#

Its real time

leaden ginkgo
#

regardless of whether im playing the game or not?

faint flare
#

Yes

manic flare
#

#

or do i just need to have gotten the quest

#

and i can finish it anytime

faint flare
#

Finish it

manic flare
#

the quest will be abandone automatically tomorrow?

faint flare
#

The npcs all vanish after the event ends

#

No it will sit around you'll have to abandon it yourself

manic flare
#

wait the quest reward i got was magicked prism

#

i thought you were supposed to get a mount?

chrome lintel
#

Is it recommended you unlock all the levemetes?

obsidian patio
#

Keep doing the quests

#

It’s a series of quests for the event

manic flare
#

oh i thought it was rng

chrome lintel
#

Is the level of the levelquest tied to the quest hub?

manic flare
#

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?

faint flare
#

Do story

obsidian patio
#

Story

faint flare
#

Story locks EVERYTHING

#

Quite literally

white hedge
#

ok cos im up to level 11 story quests, just thought it'd open up earlier is all , np ty 🙂

faint flare
#

If something is locked, 99% of the timr the answer is do story

#

It opens at lv15 story

white hedge
#

oh ok, thanks!

#

oh how do i tell if a helmet is going to take my body armor off?

#

i find that quite weird ;/

faint flare
#

You can use try on

#

Right click try on

open coral
#

Helms will never remove body armor, but certain body armors also cover a head piece.

versed aspen
#

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?

wheat plume
#

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.

open coral
#

Likewise there are a few legs which also count as foot armor.

faint flare
#

They could use repairing

white hedge
#

oh i see yeah body armor is taking the helm slot

open coral
faint flare
#

Their personal dps varies but they should dos

open coral
#

WHM in particular is notorious for being "green dps" rather than healers.
