Its cool lol
I should tell you that when you start to get into instanced stuff like dungeons or trials (boss fights) and die, don’t use that right away, wait for a healer to resurrect you (if a healer is alive lol)
is anybody else having constant issues with error code unable to complete version update [30426][19900][2]
[10:14 AM]
i started playing the game 3 days ago and have had to reinstall the game 3 times already
If I crafted a material for the restoration of the Ishgard, but its collectability is not enough and I cannot hand it over, where can I sell it or use it?
trash it no other use if you didn't meet the requirements
i left the msq at 5.1 and i have just come back, whats happened regarding to lore so far? i remember up to the end of shadowbringers but cant remember 5.1
how do you do those sound noises when you use macro?
I'm trying to use it for my Living Dead Macro and it aint working
<se.number between 1 and 16>
Oh, set the last line to /p
You can test if it works by setting /echo, but you need to change after since party members can't hear /echo
Now I can spam it more
whats shuld i get ?? this is from the "report to thubrygeim at the arcanists guild thing
idk what the best one is
priority should always be weapon > chest/legs >head/hands/feet> belt > accessories
unless one of your pieces of gear is very old
i dont know what any of this is like idk the best thing is here
the one that looks like a robe
if you hover over the items
in the top it'll say which slot it goes in
in the top of the popup
early game gear just looks ugly all around tbh
'What is Glamour and how do I unlock it?'
Glamour is the process of changing an equipment's look into a different item with the use of Glamour Prisms. You can unlock the ability to glamour by doing the level 15 quests 'If I Had a Glamour' in Vesper Bay, West Thanalan. Although not required, you can unlock the ability to dye gear with the nearby quest 'Color Your World'. You can get the Orange Juice needed by talking to the nearby Merchant & Mender. Items used for glamouring are not lost upon use.
'How do I glamour? Where do I get more Prisms?'
Glamouring is done by right-clicking (Square or X on controllers) on the equipment you want to glamour and choosing the option 'Cast Glamour'. After clicking this you choose the item you want the appearance on the right half of the menu that opened up. You can get more Glamour Prisms by either crafting them after completing the quest 'Absolutely Glamourous', buying them from your Grand Company Quartermaster, or buying them from the marketboard.
yea but i just dont know how to tell whats the best thing i can get yknow
oh glamour is like transmog?
yeah
there's a reason why ppl say glamour is one of the endgames of ffxiv
bc you have lots of options to work with

is that u
ur so pretty LOL
i lvoe tht so much...
but ye like I said, early game armour appearance-wise sucks booty
ya ths is so fckn bad man
tho after lvl 50 it becomes better
fortunately the dungeon gear that you can get looks decent on its own
at last you can glamour now at 15 when I started it was behind lvl50 and yeah everyone remembers the days of mixed gear
yeah I don't even know how I managed to deal with that at the time lmao

but at least the dungeon gear does look nice
like this caster/healer set from the lvl 47 dungeon
since you're arcanist, at lvl 30 you'll be able to branch off into 2 different jobs
summoner, a dps
or
scholar, a healer
and as a summoner you'll be able to "glamour" your summons, provided you finish a quick sidequest at lvl 50.
meaning you'll be able to keep your carbuncles
Subligars 
does which grand company you choose matter?
Only for glam
you can freely switch between them anyway for 50k gil iirc
cool, thank you
might be a dumb question but are you able to dye the grand company gear or is it as fixed colour?
Fixed
Figured as much, that kinda sucks, but it makes sense.
you can check out the glams here
some links may not work, and it's all in JP
but
https://chiyo.myportfolio.com/the-grand-companies
1st is maelstrom, 2nd is immortal flames, 3rd is twin adder.
What's a good rotation (current level) for a new player becoming Blm I'm lvl 42 rn
!faq blmleveling
Thanks @forest laurel
!faq whmleveling
WHM's rotation is just "keep Aero/Dia active, cast Stone/Glare and use Assize when it's available" unlike BLM that changes every few levels
thank you
Item-wise, no
so I got a WQHD monitor and wanted to try these settings:
when clicking WQHD the hud is just ridiculous huge
what is this setting for?
scaling the ui for better viewing on high resolution displays
says right there
if you can see it fine on normal settings then just leave it on 100%
how do you get saint of the firmament title?
you have to be top 12 in the ishgard restoration ranking, whenever that starts and ends
next phase is on tuesday i think so start grinding then all day every day until it's over
This phase is the last one
So there’s no next time
Top 100, on the other hand, is a lot easier to get.
Usually only need to make a couple dozen level 80 crafts or a handful of the expert recipe
Hello, just wanted to know what to do with exchange tokens and stuff from old raids ?
exchange or discard
I guess I'll discard then thx !
How detrimental is it to not join a free company?
You won't get the fc skill boosts and having a social circle to talk and play with can be quite nice
Other than that it's not a big loss
Glam value tho
Skill boost?
Like buying items for the glam ?
Yeah, some raid gear are now only worth as glam and they look lit
i bought a name change, how do i use it?
you'll be prompted to change your name when you log into your character
What's the fastest way to level gatherers? Leves? currently 66 with both botanist and miner
leves and collectables. diadem is alright if you're going to be leveling crafters via restoration and want to be lazy
ishgard
I haven't levelled any crafters yet
get the mounts u know u want them
there's mounts from ishgard restoration?
for leveling everything together I'd say diadem is the way to go. if you dont want to level crafters you can always sell the materials still, some of them sell for fairly high

ok I'll look for some cool items then thx
Like Ultima weapons
What skill boost does FC give?
Is it just me or do the solo party dungeons in shadowbringers take forever to do
Some minor stuff. a little CP iirc which isn't super needed
I know they don't do aoes but it felt wayyy too long trying to kill 3-5 mobs
but its also stuff like teleport discounts and bonus xp
Hmmm atleast no long dps ques i guess
Oh typed that wrong, meant fc skills that boost stuff like xp gain
red hare, its from the cash shop
yes
rip
open your wallet to mister yoshi
for the ARR relics do you keep all the weapons at each stage?
Hello ive been playing ffxiv casually for about a month now and mostly enjoy the crafting and would really like to join a free company, I cant however seem to find where to look at different company's and the only one way ive been able to get into a company is with people randomly inviting me. How do you look at a list of free company's in order to figure out which is best suited for you?
What do you mean?
how do i level fast?
spam dungeons, msq and roulettes
You know how the Zodiac weapons have different quests and parts?
Oh then no
you can glam it on another piece of gear i guess
shout in limsa, theres the community finder on the official website or like recruitment channels for data centers in various discords like this one, theres no limit to joining/leaving free companies so you're free to try one out and leave if you dont like it
You can buy a previous version, it will be named "relic name copy"
isee
So to make sure there is no misunderstanding
You wanted to know if you kept the older version when you get Curtana to Curtana Atma? (as an example )
yeah
thanks for the response! im afraid im still a noob so what do you mean by shouting? ill look up the comunity finder, there isnt a recruitment channel here right?
./shout
So yeah the answer is no but you can buy a version for the glam
shout messages will display in chat for everyone in the instanced area
uhh you gotta pick your server in #612757637813239808
for hte recruitment channel here
then it'll show up
er data center i mean
you can only join free companies on the same server in your data center
like emu said shout is just "/sh" then space & text
so "/sh looking for a free company" or something
Oh ty^^
I read that craft quest lv60-70 give you materials to craft?
whats the name of the mount that drops from palace of the dead?
they do
the black pegasus mount
night pegasus is the mount that can drop from gold(?) palace of the dead sacks
yeah gold-trimmed, floor 151+
hi someone have a BIS list for miner updated?
ty!!!
is it worth buying the gear that costs sacks of nuts
i do still plan to buy the mount first though
how do i revive somoene

no, the gear you can get with allegory is better than hunt gear. only reason to buy hunt gear is for glamour @leaden ginkgo
ayt thanks
hmm
Very quick q guys - what is the best way to a) practice alts and b) level them to 70?
Im a returning player after 2 years. Main is about to hit 70 but others are low 50s or worse.
i used to do potd
Roulettes and dungeon spam
roulettes aye. any particular dungeons that are best?
so you would say smash levelling over and over? :)
You basically play the highest level dungeon you can for that level
For example if you're lv56, Do Aery
Then move onto the Vault
As you level
Mix in roulettes while you're at it
i probably got those dungeon levels wrong sorry
i get the idea though :) tyvm
and any idea on practicing? healing specifically. took one look at my astros hotbars and got a sick feeling!
lol xD
There's no way to really practice tbh other than to wing it
there will be death
When I went into dungeons as a healer I just apologized and said "first time healing go easy on me a bit"
After like 3 or 4 dungeon runs you'll get the idea pretty quickly
thank you both very much :)
as you say
maybe i just have to give it a go and make mistakes
a few ex and savage trials i did with my main threw me off too. forget all the patterns
Everyone makes mistakes. And if someone is gonna make a big deal out of it, its not your fault
Yeah it just takes practice. You'll get it
Np~
isn't aery 57 or shit like that
would either of you mind terribly if i added you to dm the occassional silly question?
on discord i mean
55 or 56
Oh me? You can DM me
yeah same, i don't have a life
@leaden ginkgo
so i'm avaible a lot
Is there a levelling guide for fresh 80s?
Meant gearing guide mb

Is summoner good?
Also deepest dungeon is the best way to level up a class, right
There's noticible lag during cutscenes, and the character select menu. Is there any way to fix this?
Only if ques are long
When levelling dps jobs
What would u do for tank or support jobs
it has a long rotation but it's fun to play! it's my favourite job
Thanks for the guide! I dont have any idea what any of it means but I'll figure it out!
Would it still be worth it to get the relic weapons for lvl 50?
As a returning player starting new character
Yes, very very long and painful quests
If you want cool glowing weapons for glamor, anima (lv 60) isn't too soul-sucking
Just need a good amount of poetics
Pretty sure the level 50 relics were the best weapon you could get at one point but now they're immediately outperformed by level 51 weapons
Well, yeah
Check the balance for 5.3 top tier melds
https://ffxiv.ariyala.com/1DJPJ this? 😄
where can I see again the tutorial that appears when I unlock a new Job, it isnt in active help}
will there be new skybuilders mat in 5.41?
yes
rip
in PS4, instead of always display WXHB, can I make it to always appear the L2->R2 and R2->L2 HB ?
What's the point of the beastmen tribe reputations ? When can be gained through them ?
Mounts, minions, music, sometimes materials for crafter/gathering beast tribes...materia from Shadowbringers tribes
Sometimes glamour
Dyes for arr tribes
And some of the best emotes in the game
there are VERY many things called rowena's token
going to have to specify
is it just called "Rowena's Token" nothing else?
Hey guys, how are you all
I uninstalled my ffxiv client on my pc
And now I want to install it again
I already subscribed for the month
oh. this? @toxic falcon https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Rowena's_Token
Where do I install the game?
It's not the steam version, right?
incidentally this page (cough first result on google) also shows you all its uses
for tribe pixe quest.... how can i level friendly for tribe other than dailies?
Ok google. Jesus.
Anyway
I tried Google.... Doesn't show
Rowena's token
A note of promise received from rownea for the delivery of veastman ritual tools. Can be redeemed for a superior weapon of your choice
That's what it is
What npc tho?
it says on the page, Aelina
whos that?
Those ones that need rank are crafting people
You're talking to the wrong npcs then
You want the 3 girls in the stall
i dont craft
if you click through the page, you'll see the exact location of the NPC given on its page
aelina is right next the auriana, which is the poetics vendor
the token and the npcs we're talking about have nothing to do with crafting
Lv60 stuff is in Idyllshire
Can you use recommendations for anything ?
could i exchange those tokens there?
No. The tokens are only used for those specific items
dammit
New tokens get used
Jesus
using dragoon now is even worse
there is nothing to get
nothing better then i got unless i look in the market
Idyllshire has i270 gear with poetics which is the best until 65
Than rhalgars
If you're in the middle of heavensward then it doesn't matter
Still
still everything
Theres no need to get gear beyond that
ugh
this will take a long time then
Ill proboly get both drk and drg to 80 before i finsish hw
And thats not a problem
well
the only promblem id get is using another class
ranking it up to msq levle
rinse and repeat
does archer?
No
acctauly thats A a dumb question
1
A good number of people
I never ever saw someone use it
Now is there an actual question you still need assistance on
you want me dismissed jeez
is it just me or is it more consistent to land 5 GCDs in Delirium window than Blood Weapon?
you sound it 😐
You're just currently complaining for the sake of complaining
And this isn't the channel
Blood weapon isn't like other buffs it lasts 10s flat vs 10.99 of delirium
There shouldnt be any difference unless you're weaving blood weapon in the early weave ot
idk if im doing it wrong but
Its a little tighter in that sense so make sure you have a correct gcd
grit...dosint seem to work half the time
And you weave it 2nd weave window
like. Ill use it to group emeines.
You just turn it on and keep it
But after that group dies, i go to the next. Half fight other people, and half fight me
Its a stance
If I buy tales of adventure for summoner..does it also auto level up schoolar or no?
Its not something you use off cooldown
You need to make sure you actually hit mobs with aoes to gain aggro
You have to toggle it on then use your skills to apply aggro
i di
Spam your aoes
Yes but you'll need to unlock and do scholar job quests
Yes but you need to do the requisite job quests and gear it manually
You should be spamming aoe whenever there's more than 2 targets
Thanks
Idk how wise is that for a new player. I just wanna check out summoner..already got redmage at 61
and locking on is a nightmare
Left/right on dpad or L1/r1 while holding triggers
because ill either lock onto th enemy, myself, or a party memeber
Job skips aren't a problem if you sit and learn the job through the resources available as well as reading your tool tips.
It just becomes problematic when you choose not to learn
Yeah so far its been smooth with every class unlock for me. Mostly they seem to have a gimick which to work around and rotation is based of that
Or rng in dancer case
And if you do plan to use that specific job at endgame content
Learn from guides how to properly open and do your rotation
Yeah will do
I find redmage really good but also very simple it bores me sometimes to just spam jolt and verwhatever and then burst in melee
Well just an example
You get your melee combo finishers at 68 and 70
Yeah but first is always jolt unless i swiftcast
a anima wepon hm?
are they rare? since it says that id only get one that would coraspond to my class?
They're relics
that means?
Its a long grindy quest line for shiny weapons
is it worth?
Old relics are purely glamour

Gonna bump this
What are you settings like
Hey Im brand new. Traccking quests on minimap seems to be gone for me. How do I get em back?
esc>hud I guess?
The quests are active in my journal (not X:d, not blank, but checked!)
I have everything on
Nothing to do regarding minimap there?
can you post screenshot? (with your journal open)
it worked until right now when I was reading about the quests :S
On the map it all shows, but not on the minimap (anymore)
You have to be on the same map as the quest for it to show up on the minimap
can you start at potd 100 when you reached it once?
No
so its always 50 right?
101+ are challenge floors
51
Yes
@zealous phoenix have your driver's been updated properly
I believe they have. I use Radeon software to do so
what happens when you just leave the fixed potd group?
like you're 73 and have to go for any RL reason?
Hmmm and you say this happens in cutscenes? Does lowering settings improve it?
then you drop and they keep going I'd imagine, like a regular dungeon
i'm not sure. I can check. This only happens in cutscenes where there's a bit of ambience, such as nighttime or major story events
I'd assume it counts as a Party KO
Otherwise people could just leave and rejoin willy nilly to remove pox
Back to 50
The issue seems to be fine suddenly...? I guess the game lags when first rendering the objects?
Seems like a hardware problem possibly
Your pc may be struggling to render and produce the cutscene
🤷
If it continues to happen try bugging #technology-discussion
They might have better answers
Alr. ty
Hi, is there a chann for houses? I'd like to buy a house from someone
not really
it's niche, especially because scalping prices for plot trading is liable to get you slapped by a GM
check your ingame PF for anyone selling houses though, it comes up fairly frequently
PF?
Also, odd question, likely asked before - does anyone know if there's a file potentially pokeable to modify the spell names to fit the other FF spell-name convention?
party finder. y'know?
Oh okay, ty
is a bigger FC better or a smaller one?
Just depends what you are personally looking for in an FC.
A bigger FC might have more events, more groups going, and a more active chat but also has the potential for more disagreements due to more people, more drama, and more cliques forming.
A smaller FC may have less events than a bigger one, but also is just one clique (the 10 or so of you or whatever) so might feel more like a family or tribe that you belong to.
piggybacking on that, a larger FC is also more likely to feel the exact opposite of a family you belong to
not all of them are like that, but in larger FCs there's a larger likelihood you end up being a number
It also depends if you are looking for an FC with a very specific intent (rp, maps, leveling, just social, etc). The more specific you make your search, the better chance you find an FC that molds well to how you play FF14.
Also, there is nothing wrong with wanting to be in a large FC. Some people want something to do 24/7 and you aren't going to get that in a smaller FC.
Gear equipped doesn't matter for Bozja right?
No

i cant find a place to turn these in. Do the house of splendour no longer take these?
never mind, it seems to be custom delivery stuff
i believe that's something that zhloe takes
well not those, you need to make the hard place decorative furnishing with it first
Hey guys, how does the duty roulette daily work? Is it once per day for any of the dailies, like once per leveling, once per trials etc. or do you get it once per day regardless of the type of roulette you do?
leveing up all my crafting jobs at once, im to the point of 50 and need to look for gear. should lvl 50 gear get me to 60 if i power level with leve quests?
you can run each once per day for the bonus
you get it per each once a day
awesome thanks
You can queue for them multiple times but only get the "big reward" once a day.
So i havent played for 2 years. (on steam) i bought the expansion but when i try to input the code it tells me its invalid. and the original code i got when i first played the game i put that code in so i cant use the starter code anymore. anyone else have issues with the product codes?
Did you buy the expansion from Steam or from Square-Enix
The only issues I've ever heard from Product codes are when people mistakingly buy it from one source and try to use it on another.
yeah i tried inputting the original code i had from a few years ago and it said it was already active so i tried getting the expansion and inputting that code but it says invalid when i try
if you can i'd just refund the expansion and get the game through SE and drop Steam all-together lol
they are a hassle to deal with
wont i have to buy the base game too then?
I like it for the steam wallet compatibility
you'll have to start over completely even
wel;l i havent played in a few years so im not too worried about restarting
just dont want to double pay
thats rough
You can probably get base FF14 cheap on uhh "those" types of sites
you shouldn't be buying a key from a grey market site
because then you run the risk of having your account perma banned if its found that the key was bought with a stolen credit card, no questions asked
Yeah, it's just free paranoia when you realize you're on that product key 2 years down the line
base game goes on sale fairly often on plenty of authorized third party sellers
Couldn't find a straight answer online - is it possible to modify the game files to change the names of spells?
probably but every update will overwrite it
Pure curiosity if I could attempt to change stuff to the cura curaga context for shits and gigs
cant refund the dlc key cause its a consumable
can you spot a screenshot of your mogstation
unforch. i'd just recommend contacting Steam support
yeah ill do that
Hi I've just reached lvl 80. I need to do The Dying Gasp Raid but there seems to be no people queuing? Is there something I'm missing or do I just have to keep waiting for ppl to queue up?
nope
i assume you're a dps, queue times may vary
it's in daily roulettes so people WILL come
if you're really desperate, open PF and make a listing advertising first timer bonus and see if you get any bites
ahh kk what time is peak to try queue would you say?
you're EU, so i guess some time around now, if not in an hour or two
likely the best way to kill time. just make sure you can hear the finder pop

welp sent a support request to steam. doubt anthing will come of it though but ill be a bit hopeful
Attaching more materia than the stated limit
Afaik it can only be done on crafted type equipment
Ah okay
And goes up to 5 materia total
So like with the tome gear, not possible
Yup
Okay thanks 
Are the times listed on wedding invite local to my time?
Yea it’s always shown as your local time.
how do i get the striking tree quest?
Are you on the part where it wants you to attune to the crystal?
no i dont know where to fin d the quest or unlock it
striking tree is part of the main scenario quest
unless you're talking about the extreme version
yea I need the extreme one and i dont think ive done the MSQ one im yugiris game rn in MSQ
then you need to keep progressing the main scenario quest
can't unlock the extreme version without first having done the normal mode
And after you do the normal one, Extreme is unlocked in the Twin Adder headquarters in Gridania
oh ok thanks for the help
P.S. "normal" mode is listed as (Hard)
oh ok so it isnt like the other ones
How do I add things to my hotbar? I've been looking online for 20 mintues and it's all stuff about resizing the hud
Actions and Traits > drag and drop said actions onto your hotbar
where do I find the quest to customize my chocobo?
Hello! Good Day boyz and Grills. I have a friend that have FFXIV on PC, and he owns a PS4. He wanted to start playing on the PS4 caus he is having some issues with his PC. There is any tutorial/guide to how do he buy the PS4 version and register on the same account he already own?
We know he has to buy the game again on the PS4 with the expansions and everything. But how can he enter with the same account (Its a Steam version)?
He'll be prompted to make or sign into his account when he launches the game
So just sign in with your account details
He tried that but when he launched this appeared:
But he has 30 days of game
I thought he had not registered the game on the mogstation. Maybe I'm wrong, or he did mess some other stuff =/
I just got a weapon i can slot materia in, in order to use the Materia Melder npc do I need to do a quest? The wiki is unclear
you do need to unlock melding
it's a level 30 quest somewhere in thanalan, i'd google it
hello
Thanks
also, you don't need to worry about melding at all until level 80
any melding you do before then is super unnecessary
Ah, okay
Don't you need a crafter at lv20
good to know
yeah i think you need a crafter too, that's right
Because I remember i couldn't access the meld guy before that
how do i get barding for my chocobo?
Guys is there any way that the hotbar from the right just come with this set when I choose DRG and when I choose another job it back to normal? I'm leveling it up and I'm kinda needing this to see the cooldowns
Craft one or market board
Some EX trials drop a barding
hey, im currently lv 80 and was inactive for more then a year. i reached lv 80 and did hades back then .can anyone show me a guide where i can see what i have to do?
im really overhelmed atm
you dont need a crafter to unlock the materia melders
how do I level up the aetherpool arm/armor in potd fast? 😮
https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Forging_the_Spirit you need to do this quest to unlock the npcs @pearl pecan
its lv19 in central thanalan
https://ffxiv.gamepedia.com/Patch_5.1#:~:text=Patch 5.1 - Vows of Virtue,)%2C%20a%20new%20trial%2C%20job Best way is to sse the notes for the expansion.
You prob can do 2 new Alliance Raids, 12 Normal Raids, A bunch of new MSQ and 2 or 3 new Beast tribes.
There is probably more stuff, but that is the "main" content I think
i feel so overhelmed that i think about to restart. i rushed stormblood back then and did not really discover the maps and everything
but arr is pain
honestly, restarting is pretty....overkill response
You caould, instead of start over, level up another job.
i would take a moment to sit down and read thru your skills
Or maybe do some of the New Game+ from the stuff you dont remember!
read thru the quest journal if you want to give yourself a bit of a fresher on msq, and then work on progressing it
Yeah don't restart. It takes way too long to get back to finishing 5.0 from ARR
im in eulmore now and there i see all that equip i can exchange for items and i have no clue where to start
What gear do you have on?
my current item lv is 426
the best way to progress on your gear, should be focusing on the the Tomestones of Revelation, and gaeting a new piece each week.
Or, if you have GIL, you could get a crafted set for about 2 millions.
(From weapons to rings).
I would use that lv80 and put it in roulettes to get Allegory Tomestones
Then buy crystarium. Then upgrade to Cryptlurker
you can unlock the eden raids in crystarium
and start working on that to help with gearign
what is crystarium
The other main city in shadowbringers
Crystarium gear is ilvl490 gear as well as a city state
It is the crystal blue city you visited at the start
i can get a weapon in crystarium?
Err no
confused noises
All your tome gear would be obtainable in Eulmore
Aymark is the Tomestone exchange NPC
I would highly suggest unlocking Eden raids
It's just the allegory gear is called Crystarium gear
And getting allegory tomes
ahh ok
For now
and where i get a good weapon? my current weapon is still lv 70
i lvd up a new class to 80 to get the feeling back
and i decidet to main the scholar
I would say relic weapon but that maybe a bit much for you since you're getting back into the game
I would say go to Gerolt in the Tempest
And grabbing a ilvl430 weapon from there
from the city?

No the Tempest. The underwater area
The guy you go to to get the sculpture for the fish people
Hey guys, would anyone be able to answer a question for me involving Dragoon armour?
ahh there
What are the most played jobs?
you need to grind + open silver chests 1-50 then 50-100 when your aether gear gets higher
I'm just trying to figure out where I get level 80 gear fairly easily
Grendolt in the tempest
tyyyy
You can get a set of 430 left side gear quickly. And then you can just buy 450/480/510 gear from the marketboard
Btw anyone?

@keen kettle check your hotbar sharing settings in character settings
thx!!!
how often is summoner/anarchist played?
Then what
depends on the content.
@slate arrow How do I get acess to the NPC?
@keen kettle make sure the crossbar that w Cross bar is set to what your want
Role quests must be completed before you can buy anything from him
@potent lotus finish a role quests set to unlock it for every job across the role once you get said job to 80
Already have
It's also mandatory for the MSQ
What I want is to set the Hotbar 10 to show these DRG skills only when I choose DRG an back to normal (only Sprint and key items) when I change job
Ondo Cups > travel south
Kk ty
@keen kettle then set cross hotbar 10 to not shared
Hotbar is not the same as cross hot bar
Now just rebind everything and you'll be good
Gonna try rq
Turn off sharing for the hotbar and put stuff back on it
Quick verify that add taking multiplicative damage in Emerald EX was a day 1 myth?
is there a higher level transpose for black mages? that changes more than one astral fire/umbral ice
it's called lack of need for transpose, and Umbral Soul
Fire 3/blizzard 3
!trait blizzard iii
!action fire iii
also !trait aspect mastery
!trait aspect mastery
fuck
okay and where i could start to follow the new relic quest?
!action umbral soul
Grants Umbral Ice and 1 Umbral Heart.
Umbral Heart Bonus: Nullifies Astral Fire's MP cost increase for Fire spells and reduces MP cost for Flare by one-third
Can only be executed while under the effects of both Enochian and Umbral Ice.
so i dont need transpose once i have things like fire 3 and ice 3?
unless you fuck up, no
Transpose still has a use
also can i just get a nod to this
For when you cant bit things
transpose is useful to keep enochian active during downtime
There's no multiplier on the ghost
@sour path where are you at for your ShB relic progress
alright thanks alot guys
thanks, thought so - just needed to call some moron a moron with certainty
Hey guys! What materias I should priorize in GNB now?
!faq balance
@slate arrow Really apreciate the help
@slate arrow i just read i can start a lv 80 relic quest, so far i found nothing ingame
Ooh thanks guys
@sour path do the level 70 alliance raid in Kugane first, and then it'll be in the same place once you finish the alliance raid quest
i just leveld to 70 anyone want to teach me how to use bard
im useed to healing classes not dps
and forgot that bard isnt a healing class
!faq brdguide
i seriously dont learn by reading i learn by action and someone telling me what to do for like a day or two
learning dissabiulity lol
Tldr song order in single target is wanderers > mages > army's but cut army's off at 10s left
Swap wanderers and mages for aoe
Well, you're going to have to read anyways
Use iron jaws to refresh dots
Otherwise you'll just be spamming heavy shot and generally not having a good time
Keep to an 80s rotational loop
Things like raging strikes and barrage should be used under your most powerful song
wanderer's
wanderer's
when you're in a boss you want to have wanderer's up for all the damage buffs
at least your own raging strikes
When you pop a song, it goes on cooldown for 80 seconds while also granting you the song's 'buff' for 30 seconds.
Wanderers lets you gain action to an action called Apex Arrow
is a good overview of what you want to do as bard
Apex Arrow grows stronger up to 3 times depending on how many times you let it stack
oh!!! so the idea is to use songs that give me and others buffs and then keep getting more bufsbefore unleashing a huge attack of my own?
no
It's best to think of them as stances with different objectives
Wanderers you want to not overcap on pitch perfect charges to do maximum DPS
how often is arcanist used in raids and just general content
Often
Rarely
Well when its summoner/scholar
Arcanist? Never. Summoner and Scholar? Eh, pretty often and somewhat often.
Don't choose what to play based on what is "needed"
Plus, there's a small penalty in all instances when you double up on jobs in the same party
So it's in your best interest to be flexible more often than not
@slate arrow get thx i got it right now 
is wanderes the pean or the minuet?
Minuet
is that the order?
Scroll up i typed the order for you earlier
like do i cast one and then do attacks or cast all three back to back and then attack?
oh ok
If you cast them back to back you overwrite them
Cast one and let it run for its duration
Then cast the next as its about to expire
You only break army's early to keep to 80s
Here
Honestly, you could do any 3 in order if you wanted to, that's just the most optimal order.
oh ok kool
If you're not sure what you're doing, it's always better to have a song up rather than no song at all
That way you're not burning rep stacks on nothing
thanks ill keep that in mind as i train lol
in plan on being able to do raids and what not as efficiently as possible
its going to take time tho i ususally do schollar and or summoner for a healer role dps is new to me
hi guys, if i leave me FC, is there a way in game to be able to find another one like an FC board or something like that?
This is going to be a weird and subjective question, but does bard start feeling like a bard at some point ? I'm level 48 or so and I just feel like a regular archer still.
my fav is like dead there's 20 people in it and nobody has talked for 3 days
ymm bard is not the healer you are used to in other final fantasy games
fc*
I wanted it to be like a support non heal class
Theres no cooldown you can join a new fc immediately
Try community finder on the lodestone
But yeah it's just a weak dps with cycling raid wide buffs. It really doesn't feel like a bard
Bard will get its full song cycle by 52
And yah bard here is mostly archer with a side of songs
I mean even with 2 I can already have a song up at any point, doesn't make it feel like a bard
Well that kinda sucks. Guess I'll wait to get dancer and see if that feels better...
Dancer it's mostly the same, except you only have two songs and one of those songs is for your dance partner only
supports in this game are essentially just dps with a few buttons that buffs other people. you still have a full dps kit like every other job in the game, theres no "full support" like in other games
Yeah but your character actually dances, from what I've seen
In this game, DPS is king
Your char plays the songs too
dances are one of your main sources of damage, tbh you use it more as a dps button than a support button. it just happens to have a support element to it
Its just not full mariachi band visible
I don't hear the songs
what aetherpool arm/armor do I need to have for 100+ in potd?
I just press a button and nothing happens except my song gauge does stuff
inevitably dnc is going to be a bit more imaginative due to it coming relatively later in the content cycle
Makes sense
ideally 80 or above
thats what Deep Dungeon is for, to be a grind
Hi, can someone explain wonderus trails to me? I dont understand how I can fill the book. The npc info is kind of useless in that regard?
!faq wondroustails
Wondrous Tails are unlocked by speaking to the Unctuous Adventurer for the quest Keeping Up with the Aliapohs in Idyllshire upon reaching level 60 with at least one combat class.
Speaking with Khloe Aliapoh afterwards will give you a journal that has a series of random combat challenges to be completed which award you with a sticker that appears on the right-hand side of the journal. This journal can be accessed from the key items section of your inventory.
Your goal is to try and collect 9 stickers from completing those challenges. The stickers will appear in a random location on the 4x4 grid, but can occasionally align and form a straight line of 4, which can award you with additional rewards. Multiple line orientations are possible, with 3 lines being the most difficult to accomplish. Here is an image that shows how your stickers can be lined up so you can have the highest chance of 3 lines. Use the 'second chance' points you earn from completing content with new players to shuffle your 4x4 board around to try for 3 lines! To view what the possible rewards are for the Wondrous Tails or to see when they reset, use the !wt in #kupo-bot-spam Good luck!
what kind of nodes would increase spiritbond with ilvl 500 landsaints gear? the white scrip stuff im gathering dont seem to increase it
Hey, I read some time ago that FFXIV was looking at remaking or rearranging the starting campaign/missions to shorten or quicken up the experience. Was this ever implemented?
This was done in 5.3 MrJane, in Aug last year
Ok, awesome. I might have another look at this game then.
Probably only the new nodes added in 5.4 if anything, maybe the ones added in 5.3
AKA the stuff used to make Aesthete and Exarchic gear
Lame but understandable, thanks
they didnt remove much, they only took out the filler that had no actual baring on the plot. Its still mostly intact
what's a good way of farming a lot of forgotten fragments in Bozja?
Reflect farm spritew
Sprites sre guaranteed drops for fragments
Or you can farm clusters and buy packs of 4/5 fragments for 1 cluster
does anyone know of any active Eureka discords? I've tried a few links online and none seem to work
Nothing item-wise
oh hmm...
In terms of a general discord? There’s this and it has other discord links in the baldesion arsenal channel
how long do I have to wait before getting an email for the callback campaign? anyone know?
A few hours at most usually
they only send the mails once per day so if you are lucky fast or it can take a lil
can you open chests as ninja on potd invinsible?
Pretty sure not, though it’s been forever since I used Ninja in POTD
Thanks!
beast tribe friendship rank.... is it I only can do dailies
nothing i can level the rank?
Max out your reputation then do the rank up quest
hm a few hours? its been half a day, but maybe it will still come. whats weird is that I wanted to change my email assosiated with my account and they never sent the verification email, its been over a day
thanks
so i try to level up my dancer from 60
any tips on getting gear at 60 for cheap
i got some from tomes but not enough
farm normal raids roulette and hope you get first timers
Craft
you can get something like 180 tomestones a shot if you have alexander raids with first timers and some only take 3-5minutes to do
you get a coffer of gear on unlock
its sufficient until you can grab some other stuff
just make sure to fill in the accessories section
should i keep doing darkest dungeon until i reach level 50 or so
or should i break to do the class quests sometimes
Class quests are mandatory
gotcha
I mean. They're a little free XP
If you absolutely do nothing BUT deep dungeon
and then do all your class quests once reaching your desired level
that's fine
Do your class quests ASAP especially up to level 60
hi, guys, wow refugee here, I want to ask If I come alone to ff14 I mean no friends playing with me or anything, will it be hard to find friends,guild and enjoy the game on a better way or this community is warm with newcomers unlike wow?
Very warming
I only started a few months ago people are great
Pvp is literally relegated to its own island so I think that helps
Community is majority completely opposite of wow

very true
I see well I will give it a try then
community is a lot more welcoming to new players
The free demo is stupid generous atm
So give it a try
Although some of the social features will be restricted initially
infact i'd wager you'd get better treatment in new content FOR disclosing you're new, half the time
It's basically a massive exp buff for new characters on under populated servers
there is any difference between chaos and light?
The exp buff is good to leveling multiple classes, but it is not required for story progression as the game is pretty generous with exp as is
and the datacenters are based in the same place now iirc so ping doesn't factor
So players on twintania and zodiark which are both part of the light data center can play together
Guys, new player here, like, what's the chance of me, a lvl19 to buy a house? Like, really hard?
You need to be level 50 or so to even have the Grand Company rank to be allowed to own housing too.
For one thing there's no available houses atm
at least snowball has a chance of hell freezing over
And at least 3 mil
Also houses cost millions of Gil
Don't forget that you need gils to buy furniture too
At least auto demolish is back on
Unless you just want to own a plot and do nothing with it
How expensive are apartments ?
500k
500k
500k is not that expensive
Much much less
Apartment is not as restricted
Below a million is pretty cheap relatively speaking
Oh, well, ok then, tnx a lot
but they are smaller
Apartments are much more plentiful
FC rooms are also cheaper than that at 300k but that requires you to be comfortable enough in your FC to actually make that investment
and then twice that investment in decorating costs
I am also smaller
i can concur with being small
is there even a point in owning housing? aside from RP/social purposes if youre into that
and proper gardening
Gardening that's the word
Can you get those with apartments ?
Submarines
Airships
Dammit I have so many seeds
gardening is purely a house thing
Gardening is more restricted with apartments but still doable
Or are those fc things
Submarines and airships, what the fuck ?
FC things
Cant remember
