questions-and-help

[cold steppe]

I see, well i did 2 botanists for now but worst case i'll just switch it later on.

[twilit arch]

keep in mind they can only go as high as you are in that class

[stone stone]

Is there a good video series to learn rotation for class by each level/new ability you get?

[cold steppe]

im aware, they're below mine lvl so far so yeh.

[twilit arch]

and for botanist/miner, you have to have gathered the item you want to send them out for atleast once personally

[cold steppe]

yes, im aware as i already asked that. :p

appreciate the help tho!

[gritty oracle]

Two of the same class is a waste imo, unless you're really impatient.

[twilit arch]

@stone stone weskabler on youtube has several videos that goes over the skills you get for each class/job and breaks down a rough idea of leveling rotation

[gritty oracle]

Also, is it worth to buy glam prisms with GC seals? Or should I buy clear prisms with gil, set a retainer on silver ore and make my own prisms?

[twilit arch]

gc seals are way too easy to get to justify crafting the prisms

[gritty oracle]

ty!

[frank wigeon]

thank you @twilit arch

[gritty oracle]

also, I know I won't be able to equip Mael gear if I switch over to Adders. But will I still be able to use Lominsan barding and Lominsan minion?

[twilit arch]

nope

if your chocobo has the barding on when you switch, it'll still be wearing it

but the moment you change it, you will not be able to put it on

[gritty oracle]

oh ty!

[raw granite]

What should I understand when the game uses striking/maiming/fencing ?

Apparently these keywords appear a lot

[twilit arch]

striking = monk and samurai gear

maiming is dragoon gear

[old ivy]

the npc says you should leave trough the tempest gate , limsa lominsa but the map doesnt show gate names?

[twilit arch]

fending is tank gear

[gritty oracle]

You have to waaay zoom it and it'll show the name of the gate

[glass oxide]

If you attuned to all aetherite shards you can select the gates

Or zoom in

[raw granite]

Thank you !

At least aiming/casting/healing is much clearer lmao

[alpine shadow]

striking = fists
fending = fending
maiming = maim

[warped nest]

Btw scouting is ninja

[manic flare]

The most confusing is the Shire gear naming

@raw granite u can get poetics from palace of the dead as well. It's usually a faster queue than dungeons

[trim niche]

I'm almost 80 on my first character. Where should I get starting gear for level 80?

[faint flare]

You get free 430 from grendolt after completing Light of Inspiration (which requires your role quests done)

Thats your starting gear

[cold shale]

Uhhhh, What are the benefits to using your tank stance?

[manic flare]

What's the best gear you can obtain in post SB ?

@cold shale you take all the aggro for the party

[faint flare]

You actually generate aggro to actually do your job

[manic flare]

@cold shale very important for dungeons

Other roles aren't designed to take much damage

So it's important you have tank stance on

[faint flare]

If you dont turn it on then you dont generate aggro

And you won't hold aggro

[cold shale]

Hm.

[faint flare]

And be failing at the raw basics of your job as a tank

[manic flare]

Why is it that sometimes even when my tank stance is on, I don't take all the aggro?

[faint flare]

Put it in and keep it

[manic flare]

I have to use provoke

[faint flare]

Because you missed the mob with attacks

[manic flare]

So tank stance doesn't mean you by default have aggro?

[faint flare]

No

[crystal bluff]

no

[granite hound]

nope

[twilit arch]

you still have to hit your abilities on the mob

[granite hound]

You need to get close or hit the mobs

[faint flare]

It gives you a large enmity multiplier

[crystal bluff]

just means you gain more by attacking

[faint flare]

You need to actually hit things

[twilit arch]

if you don't hit them with your skills, then you don't get aggro

[cold shale]

I just started to play marauder and I still don't know what the good rotations are.

[little swift]

People can still rip aggro off you by doing more damage and surpassing your aggro lead

[faint flare]

You only have 2 combos, 1 combo prior to Storms eye

Aoe mobs whenever there's 2 or more

[manic flare]

@cold shale Google wesk alber marauder leveling guide

[little swift]

Your multiplier is just increased to make it tougher

[manic flare]

It's excellent

[cold shale]

Wesk Alber ok

[mossy current]

How do I get a lot of HQ stuff

[manic flare]

Wesk alber, he provides rotations for every 10 levels

[mossy current]

I just use leaf turn 2 when it's up

[dim smelt]

Yeah week Alber guides are best for returning and newer players

Very well made and easy to understand

[cold shale]

I have a level 54 marauder. But like I'm not very good at doing the job properly.

[dim smelt]

Oh make it a warrior first

[faint flare]

You mean warrior

Right

Not actual Maradurer

[manic flare]

@cold shale have you done your class quests?

[cold shale]

yes

[wispy parcel]

Please for all that is holy do ur job quests

[dim smelt]

Equip the warrior stone

[cold shale]

I've done that

[manic flare]

@cold shale then you should be a warrior by now

[dim smelt]

I've seen so many newer players not equipping job stones lol .

[cold shale]

Oh I may just have the names confused then

[dim smelt]

Ahh ohk

[twilit arch]

marauder is the base class, warrior is the job

[manic flare]

@cold shale what does the symbol for your current class look like?

[dim smelt]

So warrior rotation at 50 is simple

[twilit arch]

so you should be a lvl 54 warrior if you have the soul stone equipped

[cold shale]

It says warrior

I did just have the names mixed

[faint flare]

Keep storms eye up, spam storms path

[dim smelt]

Sounds about right

[faint flare]

Dump gauge with fell cleave/decimate

[dim smelt]

No felll cleave at 54

[faint flare]

Aoe at 2+ mobs

You have fell cleave at 54

!action Fell cleave

[zinc orbit]

**Fell Cleave** : lvl 54 WAR (50 Beast Gauge) (2.5 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Delivers an attack with a potency of 590.
Beast Gauge Cost: 50

※Action changes to Inner Chaos while under the effect of Nascent Chaos.

Powered by XIVAPI

[raw granite]

When gauge at 100, berserk, inner beast x2, infuriate x2, inner beast x2

[dim smelt]

I think he is in are

Arr

Since this is his first job at 54

[cold shale]

I am in arr

It's tedious

[faint flare]

Still the same concept

Just the downgrade version

[dim smelt]

I know arr is a bit boring haha don't worry and grind it out

The moment you finish arr main story the game becomes fun

[cold shale]

I'm towards the end

[raw granite]

I'm at the last ARR mission and idk I enjoyed it

except the titan storline

[cold shale]

I got done doing the crystal raid stuff

[dim smelt]

Yeah company of heroes made me quit for a few months as well at the start

Oh so you are in the patches

After the crystal tower raid

[manic flare]

I hate how this one chick in ARR makes you do a bunch of useless quests... So trolly

[twilit arch]

guys this isn't a vent/rant channel

[dim smelt]

The story picks up super hard

So yeah

[raw granite]

which one ?

[dim smelt]

Don't worry about proper rotation till 60-70

And if you want a proper rotation

Check out wesk Albers guide

[manic flare]

@raw granite where she sends you to various places and you have to fill your pot with corrupted aether or something

[raw granite]

don't recall

[manic flare]

I wasn't paying too much attention

She also sends you to an island where you fight a siren

@raw granite

[fresh lodge]

This isn't really relevant to the question at hand

[open ember]

i havent done crystarium leves for leveling in a while, is it an effective way to level crafters from 70-80?

[twilit arch]

yes, leves/collectables are still insanely good for leveling

[open ember]

alright i'll go ahead and do that then. Ty

[twilit arch]

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/1N9xuu58vLTMyfMgucL7dWGZYcIPlET6nBw3msVg9wdg/edit#gid=0

gives a break down for the best leves for each crafter

[open ember]

oh thank you. i'll look at this

[jaunty mason]

hello, i am currently playing the free trial, what's the "carpenter" "botanist" jobs? i wanna read more about them, are there more? do they have baking/cooking/chef?

[faint flare]

Yes

[jaunty mason]

what are they called?

if im to google them, what should i type?

[faint flare]

There's crafters and gatherers in every of the 3 main cities

Just look up the list of discipline of Hand/land

[jaunty mason]

ohh thanks!

[pastel sparrow]

@jaunty mason press C ingame to look at your character window and go to jobs/classes and select hand/land to see all crafting jobs

DoH/DoL

[faint flare]

That to

[jaunty mason]

what are they for?

[faint flare]

Crafting and gathering

[pastel sparrow]

you can see when you open the window

[jaunty mason]

ill go check, thanks!

[pastel sparrow]

e.g

[jaunty mason]

we can take all of them?

[faint flare]

You can be everything

[wispy parcel]

All jobs can be done one 1 character

Its the final fantasy staple

[ebon plaza]

Can you dye the level 70 samurai gear?

Or is there a dyeable version

[faint flare]

You need to upgrade it in eureka

To make it dyeable

[little swift]

!faq afgeardye

[zinc orbit]

How to get Dyeable Artifact Gear

A Realm Reborn i50/i55 set: Done in Mor Dhona by talking to Kakalan at x22, y6 after completing the quest 'Simply to Dye For' located at x22, y9. Augmenting a set of gear requires a total of 7 Augmentations matching the name of the set. Augmentations can be crafted or bought on the marketboard.

Heavensward i200 set: Bought directly with Centurio Seals in Ishgard at the Forgotten Knight by talking to Ardolain in the 'Exchange Centurio Seals (Advanced)' option.

Stormblood i290 set: Done in Eureka Anemos by exchanging Protean and Anemos Crystals with Gerolt to upgrade the set. Eureka is unlocked in Rhalgr's Reach with the quest 'And We Shall Call It Eureka' and is accessed in Kugane by talking to Rodney at x9, y14.

Shadowbringers i430 set: Obtained from Idealized coffers in the trial Memoria Misera (Extreme). They can also be bought with High Legatus Idols obtained from the trial in Mor Dhona by talking to C'intana.

[ebon plaza]

Is that in Shadowbringers?

[warm snow]

Eureka is Stormblood

[little swift]

No

Eureka stormblood yes

[ebon plaza]

Ok, perfect thank you

[pulsar cypress]

[warm snow]

[pulsar cypress]

sorry that probably wasn't clear, so like, you know the installation process ? or like the patching ? that's what i need help on 😦

[open ember]

so youre saying you need help downloading ff14

[warm snow]

you should just need to install the launcher

[pulsar cypress]

yuh

[warm snow]

which will download all the patches

[pulsar cypress]

the launcher needs to patch but theres always an error downloading all the patches

[warm snow]

that's still kinda vague? have you tried googling the error code?

[manic flare]

What do you guys spend your poetics after you've bought all the 50/60/70 gear for all your classes?

[pulsar cypress]

i have but all the solutions ive tried 😦

[warm snow]

have you tried re installing the launcher?

[pulsar cypress]

ive tried the vpn, turning off security software and such

yeah i have

like, 3 times

[warm snow]

there is a new patch going up tomorrow morning maybe try again tomorrow?

[alpine shadow]

try using the XIVLauncher from Goaaaat

[faint flare]

Updated windows explorer?

[pulsar cypress]

yeah, done this too :/

[alpine shadow]

https://github.com/goatcorp/FFXIVQuickLauncher

[pulsar cypress]

i'll try it!! thank you 🙂

[ebon plaza]

[granite hound]

ffxiv offline rn?

[little swift]

No

[granite hound]

Oh then I think my launcher is broken lol

Can't update the game

[forest rivet]

I don't think there's an update? The patch should be coming tomorrow right?

[granite hound]

Unable to complete version update (and some numbers)

[forest rivet]

Oh

[granite hound]

That's what I get

[open coral]

Usual first question: are you using a VPN?

[granite hound]

nope

I don't even have one

[open coral]

Have you tried resetting your router?

[granite hound]

Yup

Also tried to run launcher as admin and modifying the boot file (changing the number from 0 to 1 etc)

[open coral]

Uhh... I forget what's next on the checklist. I don't usually field the tech-related questions 😄

[little swift]

Have you updated internet explorer

[granite hound]

I don't have explorer lol

[little swift]

You need to

[granite hound]

Just chrome and edge

[little swift]

Client runs on that

[granite hound]

excuse me

[little swift]

I'm serious btw

[granite hound]

I don't doubt that

But i'm honestly surprised

It it even still around? Didn't it switch to edge

[faint flare]

Yes

[granite hound]

Then i have edge

[faint flare]

Its there

[granite hound]

ah

[little swift]

You can still update explorer

[granite hound]

Oh I just discovered I have it

Will try to update

[gloomy mortar]

Buy items to desynth to up the desynth skill. Or, buy Unidentifiable Ore, trade for Topsoil, then sell the topsoil at ~1k each, but it sells slowly/not often

[vestal needle]

What rank do we need to unlock all current content for bojan

[little swift]

10

For bozja

[vestal needle]

Ty

[granite hound]

Updating explorer, restarting pc and turning off the firewall didn't work

One tutorial tells to delete the ffxiv folder in documents, should I do that?

[little swift]

Back up a copy of that somewhere before you try?

[granite hound]

Sure

[little swift]

Also consider pinging the people in #technology-discussion if its not happening

[wheat plume]

Which FF14 artbooks have been released in english? Amazon lists both heavensward artbooks to release in June 2021, but SE store sells now shadowbringers artbook. Or are they released in enlgish in a different order?

[leaden ginkgo]

All of em i think

[wheat plume]

That's what I thought, but why is amazon listing HW artbooks as preorder to be released in some months?

[little swift]

Reprint maybe

[twilit arch]

its a reprint

[wheat plume]

is there any info about differences, or do you know if the ones released before are hard or softcover?

[manic flare]

What's new in today's upcoming patch?

[faint flare]

Ishgard restoration update

Thats it

[manic flare]

When is the next big patch?

[faint flare]

5.45 with relics and bojza and blue mage update is probably early February....5.5 with story, nier raid and diamond weapon is probably Late march/early April

[pearl pecan]

This is a really really stupid question but, if I have a high level quest ready for completion, can I complete the quest on a lower level job or do I need to be at least the level of the quest to complete it?

[crystal bluff]

you need to be the at least the level of the quest

[open coral]

If you try to turn in a quest with an ineligible job, the quest marker over the NPC's head will turn red until you change to an eligible job.

[chilly briar]

Hey can I do a NG+ and run the whole game with my brother if he's starting a new character?

[little swift]

Barring solo instances basically yah

[chilly briar]

Nice and can I swap between ng+ and regular ? So let's say I log on want to do expert and alliance roulette can I then switch to NG+ and continue on with him?

Also how exactly does NG+ work?? What happens to all my gear in my armory chest?

[twilit arch]

yep, basically your ng+ file will "save" at the spot you decide to suspend the ng+ on

[wintry chasm]

Basically you retain level and gear, it just lets you redo the quests

[twilit arch]

and when you turn it back on, you'll pick back up on that quest

[chilly briar]

Ahhhh 0k ok

[leaden ginkgo]

Hey guys. Looking for a recent eureka guide because I've no idea what this thing is. Literally just entered it today

[granite hound]

Coming back to my problem, I noticed that ffxivupdater doesn't work too. Getting "unable to download patch files" error

[lone spruce]

When does maintenance start today?

[faint flare]

!maint in #kupo-bot-spam

For the time

[vernal urchin]

if you're just starting out, i'd check out the eureka zone pages on gamerescape https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/The_Forbidden_Land,_Eureka_Anemos

you also have a eureka section in your challenge log, doing that will help you get some quick levels

[ashen anvil]

Are you able to transfer servers from like NA to EU?

[faint flare]

Yes

[ashen anvil]

How do you go about it?@faint flare

[leaden ginkgo]

@vernal urchin thanks

[faint flare]

Same way as transferring to na to ba

Home world transfer

Mogstation

$18

Just select a EU data centre when transferring

[ashen anvil]

Ah so home world transfer also applies to server okay thanks @faint flare

[wintry chasm]

Worlds are servers

[ashen anvil]

Ah didn't know that thanks

[final osprey]

In the demo, can i play all the classes or just one? I can't decide what tank to play. Would like it if i can try both.

[faint flare]

All the ones you can access

[wintry chasm]

Can't play the Stormblood or Shadowbringers jobs otherwise yes

[faint flare]

Aka not stormblood or Shadowbringers jobs

[final osprey]

But you can't swap race?

[faint flare]

You get a fantasia

[wintry chasm]

Kinda yes and no

[faint flare]

Upon completion of arr

[wintry chasm]

^

[faint flare]

You get 1 change

[wintry chasm]

That item let's you change once and you can't pick Viera or Hrothgar in free trial

[final osprey]

Imma probably go human for now. Thanks.

[faint flare]

Otherwise you'll have to buy them off Mogstation

[lavish vortex]

Hi! I just completed my Wondrous Tails, how do I get the rewards?

[faint flare]

Go back to khloe

[lavish vortex]

Thanks!

[wheat plume]

are there commands to enter or withdraw duty, so I could do it during cutscenes?

[little swift]

The window will appear if you are in the right job during the cutscene

And you can just click enter

[wheat plume]

yeah, but maybe I'd like to withdraw from it before the queue ends, before the windows appears, during a cutscene,

I wanna know if I can withdraw using a command

or enter to queue a new duty using command

[faint flare]

Take off the summoner job stone

You need to get arcanist

And level it up to 30

Yes

[robust crow]

scholar requires a level 30 arcanist

[faint flare]

Thats where the unlock is

So you wanna be arcanist

[wintry chasm]

And be arcanist when you accept it

[faint flare]

Do the quest

So you want to be a arcanist

[proper magnet]

When full pulling as a tank, how do tanks make it so effortless? I'm playing a DK at level 61 now. And when I use the AoE to tag stuff I sometimes miss 1 mob along the way

And my dps sometimes would agro the mobs after I hit them as we run

[robust crow]

for the first pack I like to pull with my ranged ability

you have time to switch targets to all 3 or 4 of them and tag with a ranged hit

for the next few packs, you hit them all with one or two aoes then keep moving

if you lose aggro on anything you can tag it with a ranged hit but ideally you settle down before people start stealing aggro

[proper magnet]

I tried the ranged hit approach. But I swear these tanks are sprinting and tagging everything. Looks effortless

The range hit tag approach seems difficulty to do with the GCD while you run

[robust crow]

if you have a white mage and they aren't huffing paint, you can save all your mits for like 10 seconds after the white mage starts holy spamming

it's possible if you keep the gcd rolling and switch targets quickly

I do it all the time

[proper magnet]

Ok I'll give it a try

And yeah I know about the WHM tech

[robust crow]

if you aren't comfortable, just aoe each pack two or three times then keep moving

and remember arm's length is a mitigation too

so don't forget about that

[proper magnet]

Aye

[robust crow]

also try to sprint before pulling

if you sprint out of combat then it lasts 20 seconds

if it's used during combat then it only lasts 10

just be wary of your healer's position before sprinting off to narnia

and be liberal with use of your invuln

there's nothing in dungeons that require you to hold it

may as well pop it on trash packs

since you're a DRK, consider macroing a chat command when you use living dead so your healer doesn't miss it

I'd recommend two separate buttons-one to use LD itself and another to macro-say the chat command

[bitter pivot]

What stats do I need on my 80 btn to be able to gather Lemonettes in Kholusia? Not necessarily max yield or anything, but just to be able to slowly plod toward some white scrips

[plain python]

some bosses sometimes use a blue telegraph for certain attack. Anything special about them, or just simply a different color?

[manic flare]

i thought the blue was for allies, no?

[wintry chasm]

Depends on the effect

Some enemy aoes are blue too

[granite hound]

Unable to complete version update [30426][19900][2] Any help? I think I've tried absolutely everything, been sitting here for 3 hours now :d

[slate arrow]

Usually if there's a mechanic involved. Light blue floor AoEs are almost always friendly though

And it's very obvious when it's an enemy doing it

[lunar schooner]

hello i am trying to transfer to full game

i bought it on steam but i have been playing on the launcher

i have two codes which one do i put in

[faint flare]

Starter edition first

[lunar schooner]

thanks

how do i put in a friend code

[faint flare]

After registering the game, the RAF banner should appear under "your account" on Mogstation

Click the banner and put in thr friend code there

[twilit arch]

RAF banner is for generating a code

there should be a button in the "registration code" section on mogstation that says something like "enter recruitment code"

[lunar schooner]

anyone got a code for me

[faint flare]

R/FFXIVRAF

Subreddit full of then

[lunar schooner]

[jovial stratus]

Is the Christmas event still up?

[faint flare]

No

Its heavensturn atm

Aka new years

[jovial stratus]

Is there any specific level requirements or can I just do it at 52

[faint flare]

Lv15 is the minimum for like 99% of seasonal events

Usually lv15 or 30 are the minimums

[jovial stratus]

Oh ok how do I start them?

[faint flare]

Limsa upper decks

Aftcastle and over by the mail

[jovial stratus]

Is that the way you start it for every event or is it just random @faint flare

[faint flare]

Its different

There's always a event page on the Lodestone with details

[jovial stratus]

@faint flare oh ok thanks

I know you can be all the jobs on one character..but I’m trying to decide on my physical ranged Dps...MCH DNC or BRD?

[rare comet]

for materia transmutation, which ones can I use/are dump stat(tenacity, piety I think, but what else?). Also, for relic weapons in one of the expansions, I heard that it'd be good to save up I, II, and III materias; is there a specific type I need to save up?

[hearty pine]

anyone get random crashes while running ffxiv?

[polar hound]

personal preference honestly. do you prefer guns, throwing weapons or bows? they're pretty balanced. MCH being the lesser of the 'supports' of those three.

[hearty pine]

Like the entire PC crashes/restarts/freezes

[robust crow]

MCH does the most personal damage, DNC gives the highest raidwide damage, BRD is in-between (and also currently the weakest of the three)

[polar hound]

erm well, damage isnt everything with those classes but yeah

[robust crow]

but remember all classes are good, "weakest" in that context means bard is literally like 1% weaker (if even that much) in comparison

[polar hound]

where they lack in personal dps, they have more raid buffs/utility to supplement.

[rare comet]

ranged classes are also generally have an easier time with mechanics, given they can fire freely

[robust crow]

DNC has a semi-melee phase

where they have to be close range for a few attacks

[polar hound]

anything you dont use i guess. some people do use tenacity and/or piety so they wouldnt trade them for instance. it becomes less promiment as you level..materia kinda just trickles in if you play the game

I havent done the HW relic since they removed the elemental materia, so i'm unsure which they accept now

[rare comet]

got 6 capped classes and was just looking to, well, make some gill

and 👍

[robust crow]

HW relic does not use materia at all

only the ARR relic does

[polar hound]

fair enough. it's still early tier so materia probably sells decent for pentamelders

eh you were 100% able to turn in materia for crystal sands

[rare comet]

I'm gonna assume crafting/gathering is the most important one to sell/have?

[polar hound]

i know because i did it twice.

[robust crow]

particularly the ones that give control

[rare comet]

also figure I could just farm bozjan lockboxes for doman turnins/marketboard

[robust crow]

iirc craftsman's command are the ones

most crafting pmelders are melding control

[rare comet]

no craftsmanship? :0

[polar hound]

direct hit/crit materia are the usual higher sellers on my server

[robust crow]

a few materia toward CP and craftsmanship, but control is the big limiter

[polar hound]

for combat anywho

[umbral hollow]

A question maybe this a bit stupid but, My arcanist can resurrect I mean is this a combat utility skill, like druid or warlock that only them can raise while on combat or is it unique? I mean a traditional white mage can resurrect ever not even out of combat?

[robust crow]

there is no cooldown on rez like in wow

[rare comet]

and yeah, figured dhit/crit/det would be highest selling

[robust crow]

the only limit to rezzes are the DPS checks and your MP

[rare comet]

^

[robust crow]

and also mechanics that require a certain number of people to be alive

[polar hound]

it was far from a stupid question btw, totally reasonable

[slate arrow]

In most cases, DPS only have enough MP for about 3-4 rezzes, but that's only really relevant on Red Mage due to their ability to rez back to back

[faint flare]

sad slow raise noises during prog in the background

[polar hound]

thankfully they removed rez from paladin awhile ago...that was confusing to people lol

[rare comet]

also depends on your current mp spell wise due to having mechanics

[robust crow]

being rezzed does leave you with a 25% stat debuff. dying and then getting rezzed again means you have a 50% stat debuff

so dying too many times means you won't meet an endgame raid's DPS check

[polar hound]

ah yeah general tip, especially for dungeoneering: if you or a dps die mid-dungeon, just run back. it's not worth having rez sickness when you have shortcuts.

[robust crow]

it doesn't really matter how many times you get rezzed outside of that, ff14 is pretty casual outside of endgame raids

[rare comet]

only exception is mid boss fight

since if you res mid boss fight, you'll be locked out

[polar hound]

true but even then if the boss is almost dead..just run back

[rare comet]

ehhh

true

[polar hound]

chances are there is a big aoe pull after that boss 😄

[rare comet]

ressing yeah, then taking hte shortcut

[granite root]

Do we know roughly when the next part of the NieR raid is going to be releasing?

[robust crow]

5.5

whenever it releases, likely in 2-3 months

[granite root]

I keep hearing people say it's gonna be completed before 5.5 though

[robust crow]

sure it'll be complete before 5.5 but it won't get released until 5.5

I sure hope they complete it before 5.5

[granite root]

Like I was seeing rumors it was gonna be in 5.42

...though I don't even think there will be a 5.42

[robust crow]

you have a snowball's chance in hell that happens

[polar hound]

they dont mention it in the 5.4 notes, as an indicator.

[wispy parcel]

We already know every thing coming out in 5.4 cycle

[granite root]

Yeah, I was just looking at that, which is why I asked here

[twilit arch]

idk why anyone would think the third nier raid would be in 5.42

[polar hound]

whoever's telling you things please ignore them lol

[twilit arch]

considering we probably won't even have a 5.42'

[polar hound]

^

[granite root]

IIRC someone told me it would be wrapping up before the NieR Replicant remake released

And that if it doesn't do it now it won't release in time?

[twilit arch]

I think someone was fucking with you

or they were throwing out some weird theory

[robust crow]

yeah and people thought we'd be getting an ff7 raid because of ff7 remake

[twilit arch]

because third alliance raid is always the .5 patch

[robust crow]

what people think are often wrong

[granite root]

I was told that back when the first part released so it kind of stuck with me

[near nymph]

Hi everyone, I'm new to the game and I'm just wondering what is the best way to start, any help will be greatly appreciated

[robust crow]

I hope that doesn't stick with you

[robust crow]

start with the free trial

[polar hound]

they tend to stick to the schedule, and apologize profusely when they can't

[robust crow]

pick two or three classes that look cool to you and jump right into it

pick a preferred server on a datacenter close to your physical location

[polar hound]

are you new to MMOs or just the game in general

First tip would be to view the pins in this channel and check the resources..lotta info around

[lavish vortex]

Hi! I have a question: the quest “The Gift of the Archmagus” that gives you 1 Aether oil can be done as many times as you want, and you always get the oil? I asking cause I just finished it and talked to the npc again and it looks like I can do it again, the rewards look to be the same too

[polar hound]

(speaking of, the most recent pin should probably be removed, sale has ended)

[robust crow]

once per week

[twilit arch]

no longer weekly locked

[robust crow]

oh really? even better

[twilit arch]

so yes, you can run it repeatedly if you want

[robust crow]

in that case it's as many times as you want

[lavish vortex]

Nice!!! Yeah, the guide I saw said it was once per week but I can submit the quest again and the rewards shown are the same

Thanks a lot!

[robust crow]

aether oil is purchaseable with poetics too

[polar hound]

^^

[robust crow]

that must've been a really recent change

probably in 5.4

[lavish vortex]

Do you know the price in poetics?

[robust crow]

like 350

[polar hound]

it wasn't too recent..it was with the MSQ changes to the tower, or around that time i think?

[jade lava]

is there any way to know what the gathering requirements are for a specific spot? i want to fish in the diadem and don't know how good my gear has to be

[robust crow]

something like that

[twilit arch]

it was 5.3

[polar hound]

oh

[lavish vortex]

Yeah, it’s 350, just checked, thanks again guys!

[polar hound]

I think maybe teamcraft? it should show minimum gathering required per fish etc.

https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/character/11519702/blog/4290487/ this is Kiku's fishing guide.. on part 2 at the bottom you can find some good resources for fishing

[finite bronze]

Is there any special dialog if you do the class quests for archer and during msq u meet the archer GM to do the msq thing

[slate arrow]

yes

well, probably

If it's past level 50 and you've done the level 30 archer quest and/or level 50 bard quest, there should be special dialogue

[near nymph]

@polar hound thanks for the advice

[jovial stratus]

When should I start focusing on dol/doh

[wintry chasm]

When you want really

[raw granite]

I don't think you ever gotta

Just do it when you feel like it

[jovial stratus]

Oh it’s just a extra thing?

[silk burrow]

I was in the middle of a fight, and my keybinds stopped working. I checked the hotbar, and one of them wasn't highlighted. Is there a way I can highlight this hotbar?

[open coral]

Generally speaking if you've encountered an NPC who later shows up for any other non-job-related quest (including seasonal events), they'll at least acknowledge that they recognize you.

[polar hound]

if you're going to focus them, levelling all of them at the same time is advisable

[jovial stratus]

Ok

[wintry chasm]

People will argue that you should wait until you finish patch 3.3 main story since it unlocks a really good leveling method and it is really good but it's not a make or break thing

Also yeah it's bit necessary at all anyway

There are good leveling methods outside of that thing you unlock at that point in main story

[stone hatch]

i have a teeny tiny question that I was hoping someone here would know the answer to

[jovial stratus]

Also I have this issue where when I play on mouse and keyboard I accidentally drag my skills off my screen is there a way to fix that?

[stone hatch]

how does default mp regen work?

[open coral]

In what sense?

[stone hatch]

like, how much per time

i tried googling it, but all i found was info form like 7 years ago

when MP wasnt a fixed 10000

[faint flare]

Lock your hotbars. There's the lock icon next to hotbar 1

[open coral]

In combat I think it's 400 MP per 1.5s, out of combat is like, 600 per 1.5s give or take a bit?

[jovial stratus]

Oh ok

And like how do I make targeting easier cause I always end up targeting my teammates on accident

[stone hatch]

aight, thanks Aura!!

[leaden ginkgo]

(Aether) Anyone else having an issue with mail not coming through?

[faint flare]

Use tab to help target enemies

[jovial stratus]

Thanks

[faint flare]

Can also click on the enemy list that shows up after hitting mobs if, for some reason, you need to target something specific

[half kraken]

Is meisui basically just "this is 100 more total potency than raiton every 120s"

[faint flare]

You basically use Meisui on the Suiton you get via TCJ

[wanton lintel]

For clan marks are they guaranteed to be there?

Once you accept

[half kraken]

Ohh okok

[faint flare]

The elite marks, B ranks, have a extremely short respawn time

And multiple spawn locations

[wanton lintel]

What about level 3 ones

[faint flare]

The normal mobs are always on the map

[wanton lintel]

How do I check clan marks from the game menu

[faint flare]

Key items

[half kraken]

So if kassatsu affects hyosho ranryu it's the highest single potency skill in the game, beating out technical finish by like 60 potency isn't it

[faint flare]

If you dont count Techincal being buffed by standard step buff

[half kraken]

Oh hm

Yeah then technical gets like 1650 potency

[glacial isle]

Is Royse's outfit available in-game or just Mogstation?

[faint flare]

It is technically as she uses normal gear

https://garlandtools.org/db/#npc/1026882

See here

[twilit arch]

pretty sure she doesn't actually have anything in the hands slot, but everything is available in-game barring the glasses which are on mogstation

[glacial isle]

Thx

[jade lava]

how many points are the regular fish you catch in the diadem worth?

[faint flare]

Garlandtools has information on what NPCS wear

[jade lava]

the ones from water fishing

[glacial isle]

ah the jacket's SB only

[faint flare]

The Anemos jacket is very similar...though you would only get that via market board and eureka in stormblood

[leaden ginkgo]

Do you lower your chances of a need if you greed multiple items

[robust crow]

no

lol

Just go do something else for awhile.

It'll show up eventually.

[rotund ember]

Is there a Discord for Ishgard Restoration or crafting in general if not?

[faint flare]

There's crafting channels here and in the balance discord

[wet cradle]

what would you recommend as heal for potd 100+? whm or ast?

[rotund ember]

Doh I'm blind ty

[open coral]

Any healer is fine. If you're asking for yourself, just play whichever one you're most comfortable with.

[wet cradle]

ty

[modest igloo]

for the crafting update tomorrow, what materia should I buy to sell on the MB?

[robust notch]

ShB Beast Tribes don't have their Alliance questline yet right?

[faint flare]

Not yet

5.5 for that

[wet cradle]

how good is the RDM story? is it worth reading? the paladin story was pretty boring imho

[robust notch]

Ok ok, good to know

[modest igloo]

arya is cute but otherwise its pretty standerd stuff

[slate arrow]

@modest igloo there probably won't be an MB board boom for materia since everyone planning on joining in the ishgard rankings has been melded since 5.3

I say probably, but I could be wrong.

The marketboard is a fickle thing.

[forest laurel]

I liked the RDM story

literally anything is better than PLD story

even WAR

[modest igloo]

i thought they would come out with a new set for 5.x1?

[slate arrow]

nope

5.3 was the last gear tier for crafted crafters gear

[faint flare]

Its ONLY ishgard restoration

[modest igloo]

ohhhh ok

[faint flare]

There's no more crafting gear coming

[wheat plume]

is leveling roulette without daily bonus faster for exp than doing the last dungeon available? Today I did my 2nd leveling roulette and it gave me almost 70% of a full level

[faint flare]

No

[slate arrow]

depends on the dungeon

but for the most part, no

[wheat plume]

Halatali lvl 23, my bard was lvl 31

[faint flare]

If you get a equal level dungeon yes

[forest laurel]

it's best to do levelling roulette just once per day

[faint flare]

You're basically queing up for all dungeons with no added bo us

[wheat plume]

but isnt 70% a lot

more than other options?

[slate arrow]

at that low level? Not really.

[forest laurel]

at low level no

[slate arrow]

It's normal to get 1-2 levels a dungeon run until ~40

[forest laurel]

at high level yes, that 70% is a lot

[wheat plume]

nice, thxs

[faint flare]

Meaning if you get shit like satasha you're fucked

[wheat plume]

my party member is tank lvl 76, im bard lvl 32, whats the fastest way to exp we togheter?

[slate arrow]

do your highest level leveling dungeon you can do together

[wheat plume]

but it wont do anything for him, no?

[slate arrow]

yep

he'll want to play the level 75 leveling dungeon

The level differential is just too big for you two

[wheat plume]

but what can we do together to get good exp?

[slate arrow]

nothing

it's too big a differential between the two of you

[wheat plume]

so in that case, leveling roulette that gives 70% is a good option?

[slate arrow]

no

Because that 70% for you is like 1% at 76

especially since roulette only gives the scaled EXP bonus once a day

[wheat plume]

it gave him 25%

[slate arrow]

before or after the roulette bonus

[wheat plume]

after

[slate arrow]

so you've already got the bonus today

which means he'll be getting practically no EXP from the Roulette until reset

[wheat plume]

yes

he got 25% from leveling roulette without bonus, together with me when I got 70%

so I suposse that's the best now

[faint flare]

Levelling roulette doesn't give you anything extra

After the Daily bonus

You quite literally are queing for every dungeon at once

And are getting normal mob xp

So if you get a low level dungeon, like Satasha, then there's no difference if you just qued for it normally

[robust crow]

there's no way he got 25% of a level from doing a level 20 dungeon at level 75

he must have gotten a bonus from somewhere, i.e. challenge log

[manic flare]

if you have road to 70 bonus, you should be gaining at least 2 levels in a dungeon at your current level@wheat plume

[deft rock]

I hear there is an Ultimate pug discord? Where is the link or how to find it?

[wheat plume]

I dont know what is a "road to 70" (Im still in HW)

[manic flare]

it's the double exp buff for preferred servers

[wheat plume]

is siren preferred server?

[manic flare]

whats your datacenter

[wheat plume]

aether

[manic flare]

!preferred aether

[zinc orbit]

Information

List of preferred worlds for Aether:
Sargatanas

[robust crow]

no

it's not

siren hasn't been preferred for a long time

[manic flare]

anyway even without the bonus, you should be getting at least 1 level at your current level @wheat plume

make sure you do haukee manor (since you are level 31)

when u get to 32, immediately change to brayflox

then qarn, then cutter's cry

for the most efficient leveling

[ancient lagoon]

What is the best way to power level from 30 to 50 ?

[robust crow]

spam your highest level dungeon

[manic flare]

@ancient lagoon depends on your role

[cosmic cloud]

Hi are there any best tribes to level gatherers from 50+

[zinc orbit]

Error!

No tag named levelingguide exists, Kupo!

Error!

No tag named altlevelingguide exists, Kupo!

[obsidian patio]

No beast tribe for before level 60 as a gatherer

after roulette

do roulettes first

then spam highest level dungeon

[wanton lintel]

What are these circular things

[manic flare]

@wanton lintel lookout points

for sightseeing log

[wanton lintel]

How do I use them

[ancient lagoon]

awesome thx

[manic flare]

type "/lookout" when u stand on them

[wanton lintel]

And what do you get from sightseeing

[manic flare]

exp

challenge log completion

[crimson wind]

For anima light do I have to equip my weapon

[manic flare]

it's just another "collecting" thing u do

[wanton lintel]

I see

[robust notch]

It's Quick Exploration ventures that have a chance of giving Jet Black / Pure White Dyes and stuff, right?

[wanton lintel]

Erm nothing happens when I use lookout

[manic flare]

its "/lookout"

[wanton lintel]

That’s what I did

[robust notch]

Try /pray

Where is the sightseeing log located?

Which area

[wanton lintel]

Twins pools in coerthas

[robust notch]

It's /sit

[wanton lintel]

This didn’t work

Yeah that worked thanks

[robust notch]

No problem

[manic flare]

teamwork makes the dream work

[wanton lintel]

Don’t know why people thought it was lookout

[manic flare]

in this case it was all xiniox

[robust notch]

https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Sightseeing_Log You can look up the emotes needed here

95% of the time, it's /lookout

But some spots have different emotes

[wanton lintel]

I see

[obsidian patio]

Can’t say I’ve ever really heard of one. Maybe try asking in here? http://discord.gg/dxPgKmc

[robust crow]

/lookout would absolutely be the first emote I'd try in a new location

if it didn't work that's when I start googling shit

[manic flare]

which datacenter has the highest number of players?

[obsidian patio]

Probably one of the JP datacenters, like Elemental or the one that has Chcocobo

[past sinew]

Are certain areas programmed to be more..stubborn? I'm doing my Atmas, but Eastern Thanalan is hellbent on keeping the Atma of The Bull

[obsidian patio]

RNG :)))

[past sinew]

Idk, dumb question. But it feels like the game is working against me

[robust crow]

rng bud

[past sinew]

Relics shouldn't be so RNG heavy

I'd rather have guaranteed Atmas

[robust crow]

sacrifice a lamb or something, maybe your rng will improve

[little swift]

it really isn't that bad

[faint flare]

Its a time sink

Thats what relics are

[little swift]

i think you're just placeboing yourself

[obsidian patio]

Relics were designed to be an expansion long grind to work towards

[manic flare]

there's a rng temple you have to pray in this game

[faint flare]

A time sink

[obsidian patio]

What you’re doing now is a heavily nerfed, but still pretty long, grind.

[little swift]

i mass farmed the atmas and was usually able to complete an area for 10 atmas within an hour

[past sinew]

Yeah, but the RNG drops is artificially inflating the grind to an unfair degree, it's not suitable game design.

[little swift]

its not unfair

[robust crow]

it's designed to be a grind

[little swift]

if the current rate is unfair then original rate would be hell on earth

[twilit arch]

most people get atma done within a day nowadays

[manic flare]

what are atmas?

[obsidian patio]

Atma droprate was like low-single digits % chance when it first came out

[twilit arch]

it took me almost a month to get atma done when it was released, so this is no where near being unfair

[robust crow]

whether you think it's good design or not is irrelevant versus its intended purpose

and the reward at the end is purely cosmetic anyway

you get to decide whether that pretty weapon is worth your agony now

[obsidian patio]

Atma are a thing you obtain as one of the steps for the ARR relic weapon

[past sinew]

Zetas themselves aren't really that stylish, except for Last Resort. I just do them for replicas of Novus, Nexus, Animus, etc.

[manic flare]

is that for every one? evne for the summoner weapon?

[twilit arch]

all zodiac weapons have the atma stage

[robust crow]

if the arr grind is too painful, the HW one is significantly less time consuming

especially since you can pre-purchase most of the stuff you need with stockpiled poetics

[past sinew]

True, but a time sink nonetheless. I put up with it purely for Cronus and Mimesis

[manic flare]

ive had my atma weapon quest hanging in my log for over 3 months, since i've heard nightmare stories about it

[wheat plume]

is lb affected by buffs?

[robust crow]

none of them are as bad as your first eureka weapon

[slate arrow]

we don't know but probably not

[past sinew]

Cronus and Mimesis are the best looking Relics ngl

[twilit arch]

No, lb is not

[faint flare]

No

[manic flare]

are eureka weapons also shiny?

[slate arrow]

Yes

[past sinew]

Eureka doesn't look good, despite the shine

Not worth it

[faint flare]

All relics shine at points

[robust crow]

yes, eureka weapons have numerous stages and different kinds of shine

[twilit arch]

either way this isn't the place to vent about the relics

[robust crow]

I'm particularly fond of the black mage final eureka weapon

it was 100% worth the 1.5 months of grind

[slate arrow]

#general-discussion

[manic flare]

@past sinew have you done the eureka weapons? if so, how long do they take?

[robust crow]

see my comment above

[slate arrow]

The first one always takes a while because you have to level up + collect items for the relic

Subsequent ones are much, much faster

[robust crow]

the very first one will take between 1-2 months depending on your playtime in eureka

[faint flare]

The only real time consuming part is levelling in eureka

Past that its not bad

[manic flare]

what do you mean leveling in eureka

[robust crow]

2nd or later weapons can probably be done in a few days to a week

[obsidian patio]

Eureka has its own leveling system

[faint flare]

You need to level your elemental level

[manic flare]

so it's like palace of the dead?

[faint flare]

To progress

[slate arrow]

no

well

open world potd

[robust crow]

yes loosely

[manic flare]

what happens if u die?

[slate arrow]

nothing

[robust crow]

you lose exp unless someone gives you a player rez

[faint flare]

You lose xp

[slate arrow]

releasing however will make you lose exp

You also automatically release after 10 mins

[manic flare]

so always go into eureka with another person who has raise?

[robust crow]

so a lot of people will run around rezzing people in eureka

[faint flare]

Or shout for raises

[robust crow]

you don't have to have a friend for eureka but it helps a lot

[manic flare]

is that why people have alt accounts?

[robust crow]

particularly with the grind

errrr no

[manic flare]

for eureka?

[faint flare]

No

[robust crow]

nobody makes an alt for eureka

[manic flare]

half the people in my fc have an alt

i dont know why

[robust crow]

probably for raiding

[faint flare]

Boredom, raiding

[manic flare]

since u can level up all the classes in one character

[robust crow]

that would be the primary functional reason to have an alt

[manic flare]

why raiding?

[robust crow]

is to have another alt for raiding outside their own static

[slate arrow]

Weekly lockout

!faq savageloot

[zinc orbit]

What floors of savage drop which items?

Per tier:
First floor: (Belt/Earring/Necklace/Bracelet/Ring) x3
Second floor: (Head/Gloves/Boots) x2 + Weapon Tomestone + Glaze
Third floor: Head/Gloves/Boots + Legs + Twine + Solvent
Fourth floor: Weapon + Chest + Random single weapon + Mount + Minion

Loot Rules: Following each weekly reset, every player has a chance to obtain loot from the Savage encounters of the current raid tier. Upon clearing each floor, you will obtain 1 book specific to that fight (e.g. Book of Anamorphosis) and a chance to roll on the loot from that floor. Regardless of if you obtained loot from your weekly clear, you will be barred from rolling on loot from the same encounter until the next weekly reset.

Entering an encounter before clearing the previous floor(s) will relinquish all rewards from previously uncleared floors. (e.g. Entering E12S before clearing E9S for the week will relinquish loot from E9S, E10S, and E11S.) You will lose a chance to earn a book and your chance to roll on any loot that drops that week.

The number of players in your party that have cleared/skipped the encounter for the week will also affect the loot you will get after clearing the encounter.
0 players cleared: 2 chests
1-4 players cleared: 1 chest
5-8 players cleared: 0 chests

[manic flare]

oh so they can trade with eachother for the weekly restricted raid items?

[faint flare]

No

[robust crow]

no

those items are not tradeable

[slate arrow]

raid drops have never been tradable

[faint flare]

You get to gear 2 jobs

One job per alt

At the same pace

And get to play with others

[slate arrow]

Or to cut down on weeks needed to properly gear mains

[robust crow]

it's primarily so that you can use your alt to fill for other people's statics without fucking their loot

[slate arrow]

Since if done right you can gear 8 people up in 4 weeks

[robust crow]

god

funneling all the loot from 1 clear into a main

[faint flare]

Yep

People do that

[robust crow]

repeat 8 times a week

[manic flare]

``` one day i will understand what this means

[robust crow]

it's simple

if your character has cleared raid 1

and then your friends healer is sick that week

you can't help your friend clear

because your character is marked for the clear already

[slate arrow]

well, you can, but you'll get nerfed loot

[robust crow]

and if you help, you remove one of their loot chests

[slate arrow]

for all 8 people

[robust crow]

however if you have an alt that hasn't cleared

you can help your friend on the alt and they will still get all their loot chests

[slate arrow]

It's also why crafted loot exists so you can go straight to savage rather than needing to grind out normal mode for however many weeks it takes

[manic flare]

so having one person who's already done a raid that week, nerfs the raid loot for everyone?

[robust crow]

yes

[slate arrow]

yes

[robust crow]

see that post above for specifics

[manic flare]

hmmm i never knew that

[robust crow]

if more than 5 people in the raid have cleared, then you get no chests at all

[manic flare]

i've been just doing alliance raid roulettes this whole time

[faint flare]

Savage is strict with loot

[robust crow]

these rules do not apply to anything except savage

which 95% of players are never going to see

[manic flare]

savage doesn't show up in the alliance raids roulette?

[robust crow]

fuck no

can you imagine if it did

LOL

[tawny hatch]

People would get destroyed

[twilit arch]

savage isnt in any roulettes

[slate arrow]

savage alliance raids would suck ass

lmfao

[final osprey]

when making my account for Square Enix, is that ID what comes up in game of FF14?

[manic flare]

i thought i was in a world of darkness savage difficulty once, because the first boss took 40 minutes to kill

[slate arrow]

no, people are just bad on crystal

[robust crow]

first of all, alliance raids do not have a savage difficulty

at all

[robust crow]

2nd of all

[twilit arch]

people are shit on all datacenters

[manic flare]

is crystal full of new players?

[twilit arch]

cos all three of NA have issues with WoD

[slate arrow]

no

[robust crow]

3rd of all, these loot restrictions only apply to current tier savage

[final osprey]

anyone?

[manic flare]

like it's newer than other datacenters?

[slate arrow]

It's just crystal

[twilit arch]

its not just crystal

[manic flare]

so aether and primal are good for raidding?

[robust crow]

it's crystal more often than it is aether or primal

[little swift]

no you SE_ID is just your account identifier. you can choose character name in character creation later

[final osprey]

thanks

[robust crow]

you can raid on crystal too, but aether and primal are generally better at it

[manic flare]

so i picked a bad datacenter?

damn

[twilit arch]

no?

[robust crow]

no, if you want to raid you can still do great on crystal

[twilit arch]

raiding just isn't as a big thing on crystal

[robust crow]

you would just have to party up with the right people

[manic flare]

so what do people in crystal do if not raiding

[robust crow]

RP

[manic flare]

i mean the end game players

[timid geyser]

Raiding is not big on crystal but those who do it do it properly

[slate arrow]

roleplay

[timid geyser]

RP, crafting, glam stuff, housing

[slate arrow]

speaking of which, make sure to keep your house private if you ever get one

[timid geyser]

Or else people will come and fuck in it

[tawny hatch]

invaders?

[slate arrow]

or you might walk in on a RP session

[tawny hatch]

XD

[slate arrow]

I wish I was joking

[timid geyser]

Sadly you aren't

[twilit arch]

also happens on aether and primal

[timid geyser]

Happens everywhere

[robust crow]

but less often

[slate arrow]

but to a significantly less likely to walk in on degree

[manic flare]

i've honestly never seen people do RP in crystal

i must be missing something

[robust crow]

you haven't gone to the right places

[manic flare]

im in coeurl

[timid geyser]

Because they do it in private chat

[tawny hatch]

Ive not seen it on light either

[slate arrow]

most usually world visit to balmung or mateus

[timid geyser]

Go in balmung uldah

[slate arrow]

but it's not unheard of across the DC

[robust crow]

how often do you chill in Limsa or in housing wards

[manic flare]

almost never

well my home base is limsa

but i just primarily hang around the main aetheryte

and the MB

i never go to the housing wards

[marsh oyster]

does anyone know how to make the kupo bot only show HQ items when using the !market command?

[manic flare]

i've had players hit on my character before

[spare tinsel]

Once I've chosen a data center can I not change it?

[manic flare]

but i've never considered that as rp

[slate arrow]

@spare tinsel not without paying or making a new character

[manic flare]

you can change home worlds without paying though, right?

[twilit arch]

no

[spare tinsel]

I was gonna make a new char, but idk how to select a new data center

[slate arrow]

main menu > data center

[twilit arch]

you cannot change home world without paying for world transfer. you can visit another world on your datacenter thru world visit

[glacial isle]

do the HW Beast tribe quests give more Poetics than the ARR ones?

or is it still like 5 per?

[twilit arch]

iirc its 15 per

[glacial isle]

so many things I need to buy w/poetics, so few of them

[robust crow]

do your daily msq roulette if you haven't been

that's 500-600 poetics and a shit load of exp to complement

[glacial isle]

the Praetorium one?

[robust crow]

yes

or castrum, it's 50/50

[little swift]

!faq poetics

[zinc orbit]

What should I spend my Poetics on? How do I get more?

Text guide on what to spend Tomestones of Poetics on

[little swift]

2nd link for ways to get more

for you in particular

[leaden ginkgo]

hey, I have question about dot skills, I play mainly PLD, when I use my dot skill, does my atk buff is applied to it ? if yes, how ? I do buff then dot, if my buff is done before my dot, do my dot keeps the buff or it stops ?

[slate arrow]

yes, buffs affect Goring Blade

For me I go Combo > Combo > Buff > Goring

that way I can apply Goring blade again before the buff wears off

[spare tinsel]

Is there a way to make A and D not look around like in wow.

I just want it to move left and right

[slate arrow]

Key Binds > Rebind A and D to Strafe

Or use Legacy movement

[robust crow]

same way you'd rebind it in wow

[spare tinsel]

ty

[leaden ginkgo]

ok thx ! but if my buff is off before the end of the dot, does it cancel the damage buff on the dot that is already on the ennemy ?

[robust crow]

by default in wow A and D are turn camera too

[glacial isle]

Masked Carnivale
Oh convinient. Just need to grind out the spells

[slate arrow]

Assuming you're looping correctly, you shouldn't be cancelling out the DoT

[robust crow]

that's actually a core part of old rotation at endgame

is to get two goring blades off during your fight or flight window

[leaden ginkgo]

Im ok with that, but thats not the point of my question

[slate arrow]

(This is also assuming you have Royal Authority unlocked and you're not in those weird 3 levels where it's better to be using Goring over Rage of Halone)

[robust crow]

you build skill speed, just enough so that you can pull off two of them

and yes, the skills snapshot

so even if you only have .5 seconds left of fight or flight and you reapply a fresh goring blade

the goring blade benefits from the damage bonus for the entire bleed

[leaden ginkgo]

I want to know if any DOT in the game that is buffed by any buff, while applied on an ennemy can get his damage reduced because of the buff of the character is done

[robust crow]

I just answered your question, read above

[indigo tangle]

Im currently playing the free trial and having a blast, I'm nearing lvl 60, should i just buy the game now or try to lvl up other jobs?

[leaden ginkgo]

so the damage of the dot is calculated at the moment of using it ?

[robust crow]

BRD also takes advantage of buff snapshotting in their opener by reapplying their dots at the end of raid buffs

[slate arrow]

yes

[leaden ginkgo]

sorry for my terrible english btw

[robust crow]

as does SMN

[twilit arch]

that's up to you, if you feel like the trial limitation aren't too much of a bother/don't want to pay for a sub any time soon, then feel free to stick with the trial until you get tired of the limitations or are ready to sub

[leaden ginkgo]

so if I get a buff then apply a dot, if my buff is off but I re-apply the dot before it ends, the damage buff is still here on the dot ?

[robust crow]

yes

[leaden ginkgo]

nice 😮

[robust crow]

which is why it's a big deal for paladins to get two goring blades

before their fight or flight window ends

assuming you've unlocked your full rotation, you need about 2.42 skill speed to do it

maybe lower if your ping is rough

[little swift]

what you're mentioning is only applied to ground target dots

of which there are only 2 in the game

salted earth and doton

[leaden ginkgo]

so those 2 buffs syncs there damages to the actual state of the character ?

[little swift]

they check for buffs every tick afaik

but thats not really something to worry about

since the usage of salted earth in raids usually coincides with burst windows

and doton only has opener shenanigans

[leaden ginkgo]

but wait, if my dots keeps buffs infinite if I loop them, can I stack buffs on them ?

[little swift]

and in dungeons neither matters

dots only snapshot the buffs that are there when they are applied

[slate arrow]

no, if you try to Goring while it's still up it'll only refresh it

[little swift]

youcan't infinite stack the buff either

[leaden ginkgo]

so it refreshes it with the same damages from the 1st shot ?

[slate arrow]

no

it refreshes it with your current buffs

[leaden ginkgo]

look here

but maybe I missunderstood

[little swift]

you're just refreshing the duration of the dot here

[leaden ginkgo]

yes

[little swift]

the dot will snapshot your FoF

and be empowered for its duration

[leaden ginkgo]

what means snapshot and FoF please ?

[slate arrow]

Basically, FoF Goring is running out, you use Goring w/o FoF, refreshed Goring will not be buffed

[little swift]

but once you refresh it again you won't have any buffs available

[slate arrow]

Fight or FLight

[robust crow]

FoF, or fight or flight, is your paladin damage boost

[slate arrow]

your damage buff

[little swift]

!action fight or flight

[zinc orbit]

**Fight or Flight** : lvl 2 GLA PLD (60.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Increases physical damage dealt by 25%.
Duration: 25s

[leaden ginkgo]

real quick: how do I find a guild?

is there a forum or in game search feature

[slate arrow]

Go to limsa and /shout

Or use Community Finder on the Lodestone

[little swift]

snapshotting is as it sounds. its like taking a picture of the moment

so when you apply a dot

it takes a picture of what buffs are up at the time

and boosts the damage of the dot for the full duration of it
